It must certainly be a matter for satisfaction for the numerous representatives of the de Wolf name and blood in America, to know that there are few families in the United States, and indeed in Europe, which hold such a distinguished position, in so many different countries as the de Wolfs. This statement may, at first sight, seem exaggerated, until it has been explained that not only do the de Wolfs belong to the oldest aristocracy of Flanders, Saxony and Livonia, but that in the present generation, as in the past, the representatives of the family in these coun- tries have now an enviable name for themselves in public life, in the domain of literature and science. During the course of my travels, and almost life-long residence on the Continent, more especially in Belgium, it has been my good fortune to become personally acquainted with leading members of the de Wolf family, among them being Baron Ariste de Wolff, of Riga, Livonia, now in the Russian diplomatic service ; and Baron Louis de Wolf de Moorsell, of the Chateau de Trevieres, Bracgnies in the Province of Hainaut, a well-known member of the Belgian aristocracy. Baron Louis de Wolffs ancestor, Maximilian de Wolf, son of Frederick de Wolf, a Baron of the Holy Roman Empire, had lands conferred upon him by the Emperor Charles the Fifth, and took up his residence in the neighborhood of Ghent in 1535. He was created a 10 PREFACE baron in the following year. Several of Maximilian de Wolfs descendants held appointments in the French army and diplomatic service. Baron Charles de Wolf, Maxi- milian's eldest son, joined the cause of the Belgian people in their revolt against Spain at the time of the revolution in the Lowlands, in 1579. Baron Joseph Henry de Wolf, a great grandson of Charles de Wolf, after the cession of the seven Belgian provinces to the Empire, took up his resi- dence at Haarlem in Holland ; his son, Joseph, Baron de Wolf, became an Admiral in the Dutch service, and Gov- ernor-General of the Dutch East Indies from 1751 to 1757. The Barons de Wolf, of Belgium, are closely related to the best known families of the Kingdom, and have inter- married during the past three centuries with the scions of the oldest aristocracy. Among the more noteworthy of these relationships are those with the Dukes d' Ursel ; the present head of this family, the Due d' Ursel, is President of the Belgian Senate, and a warm personal friend of King Leopold; the Princes de Ligne, whose family seat, the Chateau de Beloeil, is one of the marvels of Belgium ; and the writer's friend, the Vicomte de Spoelberch de Loven- joul, of the Chateau de Lovenjoul, one of whose mater- nal ancestors was the Baroness Theodora de Wolf. The Vicomte de Spoelberch de Lovenjoul is one of the most eminent litterateurs of the day in Belgium ; as the author of "A History of the Works of Honor e de Balzac,^'' "J. History of TheopMle Oautief s TFbr^5," "A Loiae Romance — the true story of Balzac and Madame Hauska^^'' and of several other works, crowned by the French Academy. The Vicomte de Lovenjoul' s renown is not only not confined to his own country, but has crossed the Atlantic. The Vicomte' s palatial residence in Brussels — with its library containing, besides all of the existing manuscripts of Balzac's novels, the unpublished corres- pondence of the great novelist with Madame Hauska — is perhaps the most unique sight in the Belgian capital. The legend of the origin of the name of de Wolf is practically the same in every country. According to the family tradition in Belgium, Frederick de Wolf's first PREFACE II known ancestor, Louis de Saint-Etienne, of the French noble family of that name, was one of King Charles the Fifth's attendants on a hunting expedition. During the chase, a wolf cub crossed the King's path ; Charles threw his lance at the cub, mortally wounding it, and breaking the weapon against a tree. An enormous she-wolf, seeing her offspring wounded, rushed from the forest upon the King, who had nothing but his hunting knife to defend himself with. Louis de Saint-Etienne rushed between the wolf and the King and despatched it with his sword, thus saving the King from the danger that threatened him. As a reward the King Knighted Louis, who, from this time, was called de Loup, and was the ancestor of the noble French family of that name. His grandson, Emile de Loup, accompanied the Princess Mathilda to Germany at the time of her marriage to the eldest son of Frederick, Elector and Duke of Saxony in 1423. Emile de Loup became a great favorite at the Saxon Court, and had the title of Baron conferred on him in 1427. He then changed his name from the French to the German, and was known afterwards as de Wolf. It was his direct descendant, Maximilian de Wolf, who founded the Belgian branch of the family. The ancestral seat of the de Wolfs in Saxony is the Castle of Crimmitzshaw. The arms of the family are : — Or, Three Wolves' heads, erased sable borne on the breast of an Imperial double-headed Eagle, sable-beaked, or, a Coronet of Baron of the Empire. Crest : Out of a Ducal Coronet, a Demi-Wolf, gules, holding in the dexter paw a fleur-de-lis, or. The motto: Vincit qui PatUur. He conquers who endures. The title of Baron is borne to-day by the de Wolfs in Belgium, Holland, Saxony, Prussia and Livonia (Baltic Provinces of Russia). This in itself might be of small importance, for the number of pai^venus with this or other titles of nobility is legion on the Continent. In the case of the de Wolfs the proof of their noble origin lies in the fact that the several branches of the family have borne coat-of arms for centuries. In the oflicial Archives Nohiliares of Belgium, it is recorded that the de Wolfs have borne arms 12 PREFACE since the beginning of the sixteenth century, in Flanders. It may, perhaps, be hardly necessary to state that it is the right to use armorial bearings which has always been the distinctive test of nobility. Coats-of-arms in the early dawn of feudalism were the mark of the French gentil- homme as of the English gentleman. Consequently, the de Wolfs have, in the broadest acceptation of the word, the right to "that grand old name of gentleman., defamed by every charlatan and soiled with all ignoble use." In this connection it is a most noteworthy fact that the European de Wolfs have always looked upon their long line of ances- try as being in itself far more honorable than a mere title. They have always, let it be noted, retained the distinctive family name of de Wolf., and have never, as is so often the case, particularly in Belgium, allowed their original family name to be replaced by that of their estates. This pride taken in their name rather than in the title, recalls the splendid old motto of the Rohans : Roi ne puis, Monseig- neur ne daigne, Monsieur sius. — A King I cannot be, a nobleman I do not deign to be, a gentleman I am. Concerning the origin of the de Wolf family in America, there can be but little doubt from the investiga- tions the writer has made, that our first American ancestor was a scion of the Livonian branch, which is, itself, an offshoot of the Saxon branch. There is a well-established tradition in Baron Ariste de Wolff's family, that, in the early part of the seventeenth century, a younger son of the Baron de Wolff of that day, left Livonia to emigrate, pre- sumably to America, and was never again heard from. The crest of the Livonian de Wolffs, it should be observed, in this connection, is the same as that of the American branch — to wit: Out of a Ducal Coronet, a Demi- Wolf, gules, holding in the dexter paw a fleur-de-lis, or. The writer concludes this preface with a plea in favour of the original spelling of the name de Wolf. This is cer- tainly the only logical manner of spelling the name ; for those members of the family, at least, who bear the de Wolf coat-of-arms. In France and Belgium, only those families who have the particle " QL.o^/^ Ancestor of all the "Rhode Island De Wolfs," Born Nov. 8. 1726; Died Nov. 9, 1793. CHAPTER I. DESCENDANTS OF MARK ANTHONY DE WOLF. TN Bristol, Rhode Island, at one time an old town of ■*■ Plymouth Colony, stands a De Wolf Mansion, always spoken of as " The Mount." It fronts upon what is now called De Wolf Avenue. Behind it rises "Mount Hope," the seat of the famous Wampanoag Chief, "King Philip." All this was once part of the extensive possessions of the Hon. James De Wolf, "in his time the dominant personality of the town." The sun as it gilds the roof of the busy city of Fall River, and glances across the intervening waters of Mount Hope Bay illumines the eastern windows of the old home while its declin- ing rays glimmer through the honey locusts, casting their shadows on the western porch. Then it sinks over the hills beyond Poppasquash, a peninsula where stands other stately mansions of the De Wolf family and the shores of which so encircle Bristol Harbor that its resemblance to the Bay of Naples has often been remarked; indeed those Italian waters are scarcely bluer than the beautiful Narragansett Bay. That fine old mansion, "The Mount," was for more than half a century the center of gatherings of successive generations of that branch of the family commonly known as the "Rhode Island De Wolfs." The walls of the long drawing-room are quaintly painted by hand, with scenes from "Paul and Vir- ginia," interspersed with panels on which slaves are seen toil- ing in rows of coffee plants on Cuba Plantations belonging to members of the family. These latter well typify two chief sources of the princely fortunes of the De Wolfs of that day — the slave trade and the West Indian trade. This house, colonial in style, is not earlier than the time of James De Wolf. His father Mark Anthony De Wolf, the first to settle in Bristol, the common ancestor of all the De Wolfs i6 HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. of Rhode Island, lived in humbler homes both in Bristol and the neighboring township of Swansea. There is a much older house at the opposite end of the town, where the Town bridge spans a creek from which the old place takes the name " Silver- creek;" "Just North of the Town Bridge on the East side of the road stands," says Prof. Munroe in his History of Bristol, "the first house erected within the limits of Bristol." Built in 1680, the year the town was settled, by Deacon Nathaniel Bosworth, it had within its walls, in the southwest room, the parlor, the first gathering for religious worship held in Bristol, Notwithstanding many exciting scenes and dangers, Indian Wars, the Revolution, the " Dorr Rebellion," the Civil War, the great "September Gales" of 1815 and 1869, it has never failed to shelter descendants of its pious builder. Descending through Ruth Bosworth and her son Judge Benjamin Bourn, it was inherited by his granddaughter Julia Jones, the wife of James De Wolf Perry; their sons, the writer and his brothers, own the place at this day. These old places have so much in common, as will appear later in our narrative, that it seemed fitting that they should be mentioned together. Charles De Wolf, father of that Mark Anthony who was first of the family to come to Bristol, was not, as has been frequently said, a Frenchman, but a good Connecticut Yankee. Born at . Lyme, Conn., 1695, the starting point of many New England families of note, with the spirit of enterprise characteristic of the family he emigrated to Guadaloupe, an island of the French West Indies, as a young man, establishing himself as a mill- wright, one of many of his race to be connected with the building and ownership of mills. The interesting essay of Mr. John M. Dolph, read at the Dolph Reunion, Aug. 21, 1901, at Kinsman, O., says that Charles before leaving Connecticut, " carried on a business, trading with the West Indies and went to Guadaloupe to facilitate this trade." Whether he married before or after leaving the country, the writer has not been able to absolutely ascertain, but one of the oldest of his Rhode Island descendants is authority for the statement that his wife Margaret Potter was an English woman and a member of the Church of England, in which faith she brought up her child- ren, two sons and two daughters. The oldest, Simon, returned to the home of his grandfather Charles in Middletown, Conn., as a boy. As he was bom in 17 18, he was only thirteen when HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. 17 his grandfather died in 1731, his youngest uncle Joseph and himself were lads of about the same age. "April 3, 1 73 1, Charles De Wolf (this was the father of Charles of Guadaloupe), of Lebanon, Conn., bought of Thomas White of Middletown, Conn., his dwelling house and about 19 acres of land on the east side of the Connecticut River in Mid- dletown, now a part of the town of Portland. The town records give the death of Charles De Wolf as Dec. 5, 173 1, at the age of 58. His will, dated Nov. 4, 1731, was presented to the Hartford Probate Court, Jan. 4, 1 731-2. In the will he gave one-fourth of his personal estate absolutely, and the whole of his real estate to his wife Prudence during her widowhood; to his sons John and Stephen he gave 32 acres of land in Glaston- bury, that which he purchased of Thomas and Sarah White; to his sons Simon and Joseph he gave after their mother's death or marriage, his house and lands in Middletown which he purchased of Thomas White; to his daughters Prudence and Elizabeth, Sarah and Rebekah, three-fourths of the mov- able estate after their mother's death or marriage; to his sons and daughters in equal share he gave the land given to him by his father in the town of Lyme, " that is if it should ever be recovered." From the home of his father in Guadaloupe, the second son Mark Anthony was brought to Bristol, R. I., by Capt. Simeon Potter of that town. His visit to that island may have been merely in pursuit of trade. Possibly some tie of kindred may have existed between Margaret Potter, Mark Anthony De Wolf's mother, and the Potters of Bristol. Mark Anthony who had received his education in a French school and spoke several languages, became Capt. Potter's Secretary, in which capacity he sailed with him on a number of voyages. Arriving in Bristol, Capt. Potter seems to have had some presentiment or design, in introducing his companion to his family. Mr. Charles De Wolf Brownell, himself now one of the oldest living De Wolfs, remembers hearing in early days from an aged member of the family, that "when 'Sim' Potter brought home his man Mark, as they entered the door his sister Abby put her arms across the passage, playfully blocking their entrance. 'Let us in,' cried her brother 'or you shan't have Mark.' " Whether as a part of a preconcerted, possibly cous- inly, plan or not, Abigail Potter soon became the wife of Mark i8 HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. Anthony De Wolf. The scene of this coquettish reception and subsequent courtship was the home of Hopestill Potter on the southeast corner of Hope and Church Streets where in 1720, his son Simeon was born and which was burned by the British in 1 7 75 . How soon after his arrival in Bristol the nuptials took place it is impossible to say, for the date of the former does not seem known. As young De Wolf was only eighteen years old when, on the 25th of August, 1744, he became his friend's brother-in- law, the courtship was probably brief. Certainly brief was the honeymoon. In less than four months from his wedding day he was sailing out of Bristol Harbor with far other purposes than love making. Those were stiring times. War had been declared between Great Britain and France. Four months, less three days, from his marriage,. Mark Antony, on the Privateer Pyince Charles of Lorraine, commanded by his friend and brother-in-law Captain Sim Potter, was surprising the settlement of Oyapoc in French Guiana. The account of this remarkable naval engagement is preserved in a spirited letter of the Jesuit Father Fauque, translated and published by Bishop Kip. Invaluable to the Rhode Island De Wolf's would have been a description by this sprightly writer of their ancestor, Mark Anthony De Wolf. Bishop Kip simply tells us he was first officer of the vessel. William P. Sheffield of New- port, an acknowledged authority on the subject of Privateers, describes him more accurately as Capt. Potter's clerk. He may however, have been acting as second officer on this occasion. Of Captain Potter, Father Fauque tells more. As through his sister Abigail Potter, as much Potter as De Wolf blood flows through the veins of the Rhode Island De Wolfs, everything that throws light upon the Potter character, is interesting. Still more so, if, as we have suggested as possible, they have received a double portion of the same family traits through Margaret Potter, Mark Anthony's mother. And fiery, impetuous, adventurous, thrifty, often overbearing and impa- tient under contradiction, yet withal frank and in a way, gen- erous that Potter character was. As revealed even by this writer smarting under defeat, and personal loss, "if the daring little captain," as Prof. Munro says: "does not present a very pleasing picture," yet neither does he appear without redeeming traits. Allowance must be made for a writer who speaks of "Rhodelan" {/. e. Rhode Island) as "a little Republic ABIGAIL POTTER, Wife of Mark Anthony De Wolf (5). Ancestor ok all the " Rhode Island De Wolfs." Born Feb. 2, 1726; Died Feb. 7, 1809. HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. ig which had scarcely any intercourse with Europe, which did not pay any tribute to the King of England and had not even any silver money, but only notes for daily commerce" and who by these facts accounts for the crew in their pillage being "like a band of monkeys or of savages who had never been away from the depths of the forest." Yet his description of Capt. Potter the "Chief of the Corsairs," with "commission from William Gueene of Rhodelan" is not altogether to that officer's discredit. " He was a man small in stature, and not in any respect differing from the others in dress," writes the Priest. " He had his left arm in a sling, a sabre in his right hand and two pistols in his belt." He thought him "a young man about thirty years of age" — he was in fact only twenty- four. If the Sacred Vessels of the Church formed part of the booty yet "the Captain told me he would willingly give to me what he was able to return but that he had no control over the others; that all the crew having part of the booty, he was not able as Captain to dispose of any but his own share." In this Capt. Potter appears neither ungenerous nor unjust. If the roistering crew were "constantly drinking" the narrative adds, "I ought to say in commendation of the Captain that he was entirely sober." If "on Sunday morning" the Priest waited in vain "to see some religious service" the Captain took out a book of devotions (his Prayer Book), "and I noticed this day and the following Sunday he occasionally looked at it" and " he frequently expressed the pain he felt at the excesses of his crew to whom, according to the custom of these pirates, he was obliged to allow an abundance of liberty." He was the only one wounded on either side. Thus we see him demo- cratic in dress and in relation to his subordinates, not shrinking from personal danger but foremost in the fight, not without generous impulses, and in the midst of rough life and rude companions, preserving religious habits and moral conduct, and withal giving the impression as he presided over his ship of a man six years older than he really was. Hot blooded, im- perious and " proud as Lucifer" he undoubtedly was. When later galled by the condescending encomiums of officers of His Majesty's Navy, visiting the Prince Charles, he replied to their suggestion of applying for a commission and obtaining a larger and better ship — "When I wish for a better ship I will net ask His Majesty for one; I will build one myself." 20 HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. At times Capt. Potter was as fierce as he was intrepid and always impatient of contradiction even to knocking down his Rector, apparently as imperious as himself. For this "knock- down argument" he was fined ;^5oo. Neither of the hot blooded antagonists seemed to have harbored resentment. Capt. Potter continued to be a Vestryman of St. Michael's Church, and under Puritan oppression a valient defender of the English Chiirch to which he was devotedly attached, en- riching the Parish with many valuable gifts. He was also to the end of his life, a warm friend of his old antagonist's son and successor. Rev. John Usher, Jr. The hot blood did not cool with age. When about the time Bristol became part of Rhode Island (1646-47) he retired from active business to the enjoyment of no inconsiderable fortune for those days, he abandoned battling with armed foe and stormy winds only to continue to the end of his long life of 86 years, closing Feb. 20, 1806, "rarely without some law suit or personal quarrel on hands." Hot tempered and easily offended yet he was certainly enterprising and most successful in money making. " Make money! Make money!" he replied to a less successful nephew inquiring for advice, "I would plough the ocean into oat porridge to make money." His sword did not rust after his retirement, nor his adventuresome spirit forsake him. In 1773 we find him commanding the Bristol contingent to the "fleet" of nine long boats commanded and in great measure provided by Capt. John Brown of Providence, engaged in capture and burning of the Gasp^e. The testimony of one of the crew of that ill-fated ship as to Capt. Potter's stature differs from that of the Jesuit. "Tall and slim" the sailor describes him, " with a long nose, in light colored long clothes, his hair tied behind, looking more like a shore-man than a sea-man." Shore- men or seamen, the plucky party of Yankees under leaders like Brown and Potter, in the words of the popular ballad attributed to Capt. Swan of Bristol. " Set the men upon the land And burnt her up we understand." Thus shedding the first British Blood in the American Revolu- tion. A year later, having been for several years a member of the Assembly, he was chosen to fill the newly created office of Major General of the Rhode Island forces, and the following HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY, 21 year, 1775, during the Bombardment of Bristol by Capt. Sir James Wallace, he went in the hottest fire to the head of the wharf, hailed the British ship Rose and arranged to treat with the enemy. Thus could he face an enemy as bravely at fifty as he had at twenty-four, throwing himself with enthusi- asm into his country's struggle and so justifying his quaint doggerel still preserved in his handwriting by his descendants: " I love with all my heart The independent part To obey the parliament My conscience won't consent. I never can abide To fight on England's side. I pray that God may bless That great and grand Congress." Although young De Wolf became thus bound by double bands of kinship and comradeship to the wealthy ship owner of Bristol, he never seems himself to have attained any con- siderable fortune. Mrs. Middleton, a great-grand-daughter of his still living in one of the fine old De Wolf mansions, that of his son William, preserves the tradition however, that he was at least in more than comfortable circumstances when in 1778 his was among the nineteen dwelling houses burned by the British. It was situated on the South corner of Burton Street and Main Street, having been built by Stephen Burton, one of the four proprietors. Impoverished by his loss, Mr. De Wolf moved his family to a safer distance from the defenceless coast, and on a farm in Swanzea, with the courage under re- verses that has characterized many of the family began indus- triously to repair his losses. It was of this time of struggle that in after days, when the great fortunes of his sons had rendered them famous, Mrs. Peck, mother of Mr. Viets Peck, used to tell of the stitches her mother would take in the gap- ing brim of his straw hat when he came down to Bristol to sell the berries gathered on his farm. Less kindly did his boys seem to take to farming. Several of them who had been sweating in the corn rows one summer day flung down their hoes declar- ing they would no longer hoe corn when they knew they could get places on their Uncle Sim Potter's privateer about to sail from Providence. So off they trudged upon the road to that city. As after their long dusty walk they emerged from 22 HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY, Seekonk Woods near the "old Red Bridge," James, the young- est but one of the party, becoming conscious of the dilapidated condition of his hat, and with the vanity of a handsome lad less resigned than his father to his appearance, cried out, " Boys, I'm not going through Providence like this," and flung the brimless crown— or was it a crownless brim? — into the wayside bushes. Bareheaded he presented himself with his brothers to his no doubt astonished yet sympathetic, bluff old Uncle Sim Potter. They secured the coveted places in the ship and thus began that life of devotion to the sea, which the sea was soon so richly to repay. After their return from this voyage, the boys' wardrobe, scant enough no doubt on the start, had not been improved. In reply to a remark of some one that William had barely enough clothes to decently cover him, " Never mind," said the stout old Captain, "the boy has come home covered with glory." Years afterwards, when the boys had grown into famous men, as William and James De Wolf rode in their stately coaches respectively of blue and yellow, into Providence, James ordered his to a sudden halt. Putting his head out of the window and pointing to a dilapidated hat which by some strange accident had lodged just where he had thrown his own, many years before, he cried gaily, "Brother William, there's my old hat." ' In later years Mark Anthony De Wolf lived again in Bris- tol. The following letter was written from that town but five years before his death. It is not the letter of a "ruder or illit- erate man," as he has by some been represented. If his early service on privateers caused some of the earlier biographical sketches of the De Wolfs to describe them as a "race of pirates," this letter of his old age is that of a serious. God- fearing man, whose counsels may well be commended to his many descendants : Bristol, March 24th, 1788. "Son Levi : These will be handed you by your brother William, which I hope will find you in good health as they leave us at present, through the blessing of God.

Remember my respects to Mr. Gorham. Yr mother sends you a small Chief, and remembers her love to both of you. I remain your father and well wisher, Mark Anthony D'Wolf." The romantic incidents of the youth of James De Wolf were well worth a complete record did the limit of this work permit. He was twice captured by the British, many weeks a prisoner in the Bermudas. He could have been a lad of not more than fourteen or fifteen when he trudged hatless through Providence. In ten years he had amassed a fortune sufficient to retire upon, and live at ease. But to the day of his death, at the age of seventy-three, Capt. De Wolf was never inactive. When the war clouds of 1812 gathered, in opposition to the general sentiment of New England, he was a vigorous sup- porter of the war-measures. Undoubtedly the shipping inter- ests in Bristol had its influence in directing his sympathies, as it did with the merchants of Salem and Boston, of Baltimore, Norfolk and Charleston. Yet we cannot believe the bitter taunt of John Randolph of Roanoke, that the resentment of that period against Great Britain was the " mere effusion of mercantile cupidity." Unlike their brother William, who was a staunch Federalist, Charles and James De Wolf were of the Jeffersonian party, then called Republican, the sympathies of which were with the French rather than with the English. Some French influences and traditional sympathy from resi- dence in Guadaloupe may have made this leaning to the French side of the disputes more natural, although their father on arrival from his French home had quickly espoused Eng- land's quarrel against France. But what was likely to have had a stronger influence in his enthusiastic support of the anti- British party, is the fact that Capt. De Wolfs boyhood had been spent in the stirring times of the Revolution, and all his life had been passed in intimate companionship with the "old survivors " of that birth struggle of the nation. Gov. Bradford, his father-in-law, had been dead but four years, his uncle " Sim Potter" but six.

Gen. Varnum, at " Silver Creek," (the home of the General's brother- in-law, Judge Bourn), may have told him anecdotes of Wash- ington's camp ; or Capt. Perry may heve entertained him with tales of sea fights of that infant navy to the fame of which his son Oliver was soon to add on Lake Erie. Indeed, the mem- ory of days in gloomy British prison-ships must have deepened his resentment aroused by the recent losses of merchantmen from British warships. Mr. De Wolf therefore became not only an ardent advocate of his country's cause, but confident of her final success, not only influenced the banks in which he had controlling voice, to lend their funds, but advanced libe- rally from his private purse. He sent forth privateer after privateer to avenge alike his country's wrongs and his own losses. He accomplished both ends so effectually as to supply the strongest answer to John Randolph's scornful prophecy that England's merchantmen would not, as in the Revolution, "become the prey of paltry privateers." He soon had so far recouped himself, that he could with grim humor re-name the British ship Shannon, the Balance, and another privateer which soon followed her, the Remittance. Though none could surpass in speed the McDonough, none brought such rich returns as the Yankee. She netted a round million of dollars in prize money, a large part of which went to increase Capt. De Wolf's now rapidly accumulating wealth. Only upon such services to his country, and such as we have seen his father rendered as a British subject against the French, could the accusation be founded that the "De Wolf's were pirates." It is hardly the part of patriotism to so name the owners and commanders of privateers when the great Senator from Massachusetts, Judge Hoar, has not hesitated to maintain on the floor of the United States Senate that "Our independ- ence in the War of the Revolution had been won at sea. England could have continued for a hundred years if necessary the land-war of the Revolution, because she was able to pay the cost. It was not a French alliance, but the rate of mari- time insurance which compelled the unwilling monarch to HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. 25 come to peace. It was New England sailors and other sailors of the maritime states who won the battle. The rate of insurance on English commercial ships then was 28 per cent, in the Mediterranean. It was the ship owners of Bristol who won the battle by privateers, and not the navy." Playing so prominent a part in the War of 181 2 himself, it is not surprising that Capt. De Wolf conceived not only a great admiration but a warm affection for the " Hero of Lake Erie." He entertained him with lavish hospitality at The Mount, had a portrait of him painted and hung by the side of those of his own family and that of Bishop Griswold in the great hall of his home; advanced from his private purse the money to build and equip the sloop of war Chippewa, which Commodore Perry had been commissioned by the United States Govern- ment to have built at Warren; and when Raymond, the hand- some younger brother of the Commodore, became a suitor for the hand of Marianne, the beautiful daughter of Captain De Wolf, consent to their marriage was readily given. A letter of Raymond to his mother — that sprightly little Scotch-Irish mother of heroes, Sarah Wallace Alexander — the direct descendant of an uncle of the famous Scottish chieftain. Sir William Wallace — is worthy of a place as a sketch of life in Bristol and of De Wolf hospitality of that day. The letter is dated "Off Bristol Harbor 28th Nov." — no year being given. After speaking of a visit to Providence with his brother Alex- ander — James Alexander, whose figure is familiar to those who have seen the painting of the Battle of Lake Erie, in the Capitol at Washington — he attributes the attention he received to the gallantry of this younger brother, " everyone anxious to be introduced to the young hero of Erie." He then continues: " My father was on board this evening on his way to Newport, where he says it will be necessary to visit often. I cannot ex- press how much my satisfaction is to see him so much pleased with his appointment " (Collector of Newport). " He is in excel- lent spirits; every one in Bristol seems anxious to serve him. The De Wolf's are wrapped up in his interests. The female part of the family talk much of the pleasure of your society as soon as you can join them. The house is a very good one and stands in the best part of the town." (a house on Church Street near High Street, into which Capt. C. R. Perry and his family moved about this time). "Mary Ann De Wolf is a 3 26 HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY, charming girl and I have reason to believe very much my friend." (The italics his own). "We were to a pleasant ball two evenings since in honor of Oliver. The house was bril- liantly illuminated and over the entrance was the appropriate motto 'Don't give up the ship.' I was received with more politeness than all my vanity could flatter me I deserved, but I was next brother to the greatest man in our country I will write the girls if we do not get out [of the harbor] but this letter is for them too. Your affect, son Raymond," We have quoted this letter so literally as it not only fore- shadows the marriage that united the Perrys and De Wolfs but betrays the charming pride of Lieut. Perry in his two brave brothers, the heroes of Lake Erie. "The girls" to whom he refers were of course his sisters: one of whom was after- wards Mrs. Commodore Rodgers of New London, the mother of Admiral C. R. P. Rodgers and other distinguished officers of the United States Navy; the other, Mrs. Jane Butler, the mother of General M, C. Butler, United States Senator, brave handsome O. N. Butler, and other brave soldiers of the Con- federacy. For almost thirty years Capt. De Wolf represented Bristol in the State Legislature: for two years he presided over the Lower House, then was elected to the United States Senate. Mr. De Wolf was an ardent protectionist and while in the Senate took, with Henry Clay and others, a prominent part in supporting the Tariff Bill of April, [824, as appears from the speech of Senator Hayne in that famous debate. Although his business experience made him at once a recognized authority in commercial matters, the pressure of business at home and his dislike of Washington life caused him to resign before his term expired and he returned to his beloved "Mount," to his counting house on the wharf and to the increase of his fortune, although he remained in the Rhode Island Legislature until his death. That his wealth was largely made from trading in slaves cannot be denied, although he had built the Arkwright Mills, was enthusiastic in agriculture, and owned several plan- tations in Cuba. It must be remembered that the slave trade had only begun at that time to be condemned, and few took exception to it. Much of the wealth of Bristol was due to this MARIANNE DE WOLF (82), Wife of Capt. Raymond H. J. Perry, U. S. N. Born April 14, 17^5 ; Died 1834. HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. 27 traffic, and many of the people owed their employment to it. When laws were first enacted against it, they were regarded as acts of oppression, much as the repression of smuggling was viewed by the dwellers on the Cornish coast or the enforce- ment of the excise laws by the illicit distillers of the Tennessee Mountains. That this was the case is evident from an old yellowed document which now lies before the writer, casting such a weird, yet humorous side-light on the history of the day that it seems justifiable to give some of the details of the affair. In July of the year 1799, the schooner Lucy lay in Bristol Harbor and the brig Eliza at one of the wharves of Warren, then no mean rival of her sister town as a seaport. The United States Government had seized these vessels, and con- demned them for " a breach in the law prohibiting traffic in slaves." Mr. Ellery, Collector of the District of Newport, had written Mr. Samuel Bosworth, surveyor of the port of Bristol, to learn the value of the vessels and attend the sale in order to bid for the government. This, Mr. Bosworth " fearing " as he declares in a letter some years later "for his life," had no great desire to do. He wrote Mr. Ellery, giving him all needed information, but suggesting that " some more competent per- son be employed." The collector was inexorable, though later he did consent that Mr. Phillips, surveyor at Warren, should attend to the Eliza, and granted Mr. Bosworth's further request that if he must perform so unpopular a duty he might at least make known the authority under which he acted. The Bosworths were not a race to flinch from duty. Seek- ing counsel of his nephew Judge Bourn, (his sister Ruth's son), he prepared in concert with Mr. Phillips for his ungrate- ful task. A few days later Mr. Bosworth learned through Judge Bourn that his purpose had been betrayed by some unknown persons and was "mentioned in public company." He was hastily summoned to the office of Mr. John Brown in Provi- dence. Mr. Brown was one of the princely merchants of that city, in whose service Capt. James De Wolf had first com- manded a ship. Brown himself had but recently been acquit- ted of a violation of the same law, not for lack of fullest evi- dence to convict, Mr. Bosworth asserts, but on account of the widespread prejudice against the law. 28 HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. Mr. Brown with James De Wolf and the latter's brother Charles, owner of the Lucy " opportuned and severally urged Mr. Bosworth to decline the appointment to attend to the sale, alleging that it was not in the line of his duty and that he would be considered a volunteer in a business which he knew to be very obnoxious to his fellow citizens." But the old Puritan conviction of duty in the i8th century had not become invertibrate in the presence of the money power. Though the De Wolf brothers returned to the attack the next morn- ing in Bristol, the surveyor continued to declare that he must and should execute his orders. On the morning appointed for the sale, July 25, we find him setting out from home, a little before ten o'clock, the hour fixed for the auction. He is walk- ing along Thames Street, which follows the shore of Bristol Harbor, and is only one hundred rods from the Charles De Wharf, less than a rod from the water's edge — suddenly he is seized by eight men, fantastically dressed, their faces painted with lamp-black, and quickly bundled into a small sail boat, his captors maintaining absolute silence. He "struggled, resisted, exclaimed for help," but all in vain. "There were several men in sight." He calls a " Mr. Warren, master of a carpenter shop hard by." A captain Aaron Usher started to assist him, but "too late." Capt. Charles Collins, who like Capt. James De Wolf, had married a daughter of Governor Bradford, had given the signal to the supposed Indians by waving his hat. Many were gathering at the wharf as well as on the deck of the Lucy, who later assure Mr. Bos- worth " they heard a voice of a person in distress " but saw neither him nor the boat. A strange blindness at ten o'clock in the morning on Thames Street at a public auction. Was the whole community quietly enjoying the scene and in sym- pathy with the genial slavers who had made their town pros- perous, attractive and popular? Evidently the business of enforcing the law zvas "very obnoxious to Mr. Bosworth's fellow-citizens," as laws that stand in the way of ease and wealth, no matter how ill-gotten and at what cost to others, often are in other times and later generations. Now the boat with its prisoner glides through the Bristol Ferry into the beautiful waters that lie between Fall River and Mount Hope. On the shore of the latter they land their captive. No word has been spoken during the whole "nefarious affair," except HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. 29 some "unintelligible jargon" "which concealed the indentity of the captors" and probably amused them as much as it tanta- lized Mr. Bosworth. Evidently no personal injury was intended to the government agent, but in landing him more than two miles distant from the scene of the place where he was seized, it was purposed to give the De Wolfs or their friends time to "bid in" the ship. In this they were disappointed. The United States Marshal on account of Mr. Bosworth's absence, had adjourned the sale to the following Monday. What the final result was regarding the vessel, Mr. Bosworth does not say. " Everyone was very indignant, full of sympathy for Mr. Bosworth, including " Mr. Brown of Providence." "There is such general indignation that the District At- torney will soon obtain evidence to convict perpetrators of the the deed." Alas! Vain hope ! In 1804, he is writing the new Secretary of the Treasury in Jefiferson's administration, not only of the failure to obtain redress, but bitterly complaining (and certainly it would seem with good reason), that he has been unceremoniously turned out of office to be succeeded by this same Capt. Collins, quondam captain of the Lucy, but now Col- lector of the Port, though still, as Mr. Bosworth avers, part owner of a slave ship Armstadt which he had the previous summer himself sailed in the interest of "his near relatives, the Messrs. De Wolf," from Congo to Georgia with its human cargo. He was also owner of another slaver nominally the property of Capt. Manchester, and on the same day that he re- ceived his commission as Collector, had been assured by a letter from Havana of a brother's safe arrival "in the brigan- tine Minerva from Africa with a cargo of some 150 slaves," of which he was also believed to own a quarter interest. Is it strange that the righteous soul of the brave defender of the law, who declares his only offense to be that he has refused his political support to the De Wolfs, waxes wrathful ? Prof. W. H. Munro says in his history of Bristol: "The higher moral tone which now prevails throughout the world has induced their descendants (/. e. of those who engaged in the slave trade) to suppress all the evidences which proved the participation of their ancestors in it." He adds with great truth: "This sensitiveness is natural but unnecessary. Let us not hold our ancestors responsible for deeds which in their day were not regarded as sinful." Their best defence is the 30 HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. free publication of such documents as the above, showing on the one hand how generally public sentiment was with them, how honorable were the names associated with this now justly discredited pursuit, yet no less how worthy of honor were the pioneers of freedom who risked not only popularity and loss of office, but even their lives for conviction and duty. " No scruples," as writes Prof. Munro, "respecting the nature of their business appear to have troubled the importers of slaves," one captain piously writing: "we have now been twenty days upon the coast, and by the blessing of God shall soon have a good cargo !" Many of the old Bristol families related to the De Wolfs by marriage, whose names will appear in the tabulated pages of this work, as Diman, Liscolm, Collins, Manchester, sailed their ships and had a liberal share in their profits. We, their descendants, need not fear to honor their hardy virtues though we condemn the traffic in which they were engaged ; for since the final struggle for freedom, we have learned to hold it no inconsistency with our veneration for Sumner, Seward and Lincoln, that we have welcomed back into the Senate such brave men as Wade Hampton, M. C. Butler, Morgan, or Joe Wheeler, in spite of their contention for what we believed a mistaken as well as a "lost cause." Even in those earlier days differences of opinion as to slav- ery did not break personal friendships. We have already had occasion to contrast Judge Bourn and Captain James De Wolf. They differed upon the question of slavery as indeed upon most political questions. Yet the older man, older by ten years, ever had a regard, indeed a fondness for Capt. De Wolf. In the most serious charge ever made against Capt. De Wolf in connection with this traffic, Judge Bourn shielded him. Bourn was known throughout New England as the "Just Judge." We may believe, therefore, that the Judge, as did many others, held him innocent. When Judge Bourn died in 1808, at the age of fifty-three, in the fulness of his power, Capt. De Wolf was a young man with his highest honors before him. He was not U. S. Senator till 1 821; Judge Bourn had sat in the First Congress in 1789. Some further comparison of the two men may illustrate the difference between a leading citizen in two different periods of Bristol's social life. 32 HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. fair widow Jones." But if Mrs. De Wolf was plainer of feature, she was devotedly loved by her husband who took with his usual good nature this implied sign of her devotion to him. The writer recalls an amusing example of this difference of natural temperament: As the writer's aunt, who inherited more of her grandmother's disposition than her grandfather's, sat fuming one day after her grandmother and herself had been exchanging electric sparks with great rapidity until the former, no longer able to contain herself, went out, slamming the door. "Grandfather De Wolf," who had gazed at the fire place during the conflict, too wise to interfere, quietly turned to his grandchild with his sweet smile and said: "Nancy child, Nancy child, a shut mouth catches no flies." The old Mount House still stands far back from the road, picturesque among its gnarled and twisted trees, and the writer can remember the little dwellings nearby, where were quartered the last survivors of the old slaves of the estate, Polydore and Agiway. Poor old Polydore and "Agie"! How we children used to tease them, shouting in front of their little hut : " Polydore and Agiway Sitting in the cellar way! Agiway and Polydore Sitting on the cellar door! " But when at the end of her century of life, Agie, too infirm and dropsical to rise from her chair, held out her old arms and bid her "chile cum' gib ole Agie a las' kiss," although the "chile" was a man in Holy Orders, he reverently, if not rap- turously, planted on her protruding lips the requested boon. And Polydore, oh, with what an aroma of delicious "chow- der" is his memory fragrant ! Long after the old man's death others mixed the mighty broth at the " Family Clam-bake," some of them deservedly famous, but even when the mixture was at its best, the white haired members of the family would occasionally comment, as from their lips escaped something half way between a smack and a sigh, "yes, but if you'd tasted Polydore's!" Are any of the younger descendants of the family so unfor- tunate as not to have happy reminiscences recalled by that endearing term, "family clam-bake?" Is their knowledge of a feast of clams limited to the modern yet not altogether unac- HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. 33 ceptable form of it? What a degenerate evolution they wit- ness. The bivalve is now served in long hot wooden sheds, and on tables crowded with many a stranger to customs of "the shore" whose habits are not appetizing, while the grow- ing scarcity of that immortal yet vanishing shell fish causes the few half-filled pans of clams to be eked out with strange courses! ^'■O tevtpora, O mores!" Vastly different was the family clam-bake of the De Wolfs on the shore of Mount Hope, or on "Jones' Rocks." The appropriately dressed company of hand- some men and beautiful women picturesquely grouped upon the grey rocks and beneath the dark and blue-green cedar trees; the curving shores of the harbor, the sandy beach, pit- ted and hollowed here and there, where the clams had been dug, — all added to the beauty of the scene. At early dawn "the man with the hoe" had struck the silent sand until the tiny tell-tale stream of water spurted forth, then quickly digging to secure the toothsome prize, had drawn forth clams ; yes, genuine clams with their oblong brittle shells, with the black projection, called by the uniniti- ate the "head," but which really is the foot — not the only creature which, as in Mother Goose lore, has "its head where its tail ought to be." Real New England clams they were ; not the tough, leathery creature called by the natives "Qua- haug," but by New Yorkers " Little Necks." Then from a more distant corner of the field comes borne on the steam-laden air the delicate perfume which might have been the clouds of of incense at Bacchanlion feast — odors from the great out- door oven "the Bake." There at early morn the great pit was dug, the circle of rocks placed in Druid-like order, the wood piled high as for a funeral pyre; then, when the rocks glowed with their store of heat and the smouldering embers were raked off, the "rock weed," that pungent odorous kelp, was piled on and between its folds, great baskets of clams poured, the fine tautog, each served in its own shroud: the ears of corn, the sweet potatoes and the loaves of bread, all cunningly dis- embowled that they might be stuffed with savory "fillings," the great black lobsters snapping their savage jaws in death- agony and turning red with wrath as they succumb in the thrice-heated furnace, then over the hissing bivalves and the squirming crustaceans, again the great black pall of rock-weed 34 HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. is cast, and to keep the steam and preserve the luscious juices, a great sail is spread over all and pegged securely to the ground. No trifle is the preparation for this king of feats. Meantime in the great iron pot suspended over a wood fire has been flung by Polydore and his assistants ingredients as varied though far more appetizing than those employed by the witches in "Macbeth" to make the gruel thick and slab." While round and round the dusky figures go, piling on wood, stirring the savory mixture and making "fire burn and cauldron bubble," and when the guests who have been stimulating their appetites in the bracing sea breezes with "Prisoners Base" or "Drop the Handerchief" are all seated like bright flowers springing from the grey rocks, the plates of chowder, the tin pans heaped high with clams, and all the luscious morsels that have "been raked from the opened bake," are passed to the hungry company, while the merry laughter and happy play of wit is only interrupted by the "pop" "pop" of bottles taken from the ice and the pleasing gurgle that follows. We fear to displease " teetotalers " by naming the beverage. It was not ginger ale. One generous hamper after another is opened and guava jellies and other Spanish dainties from the family plantations in Cuba are added to the feast. Some visitors from the unfortunate "interior," joining in the feast with gloved hands, might smile derisively at the rude methods of the natives. But sure disaster would speedily bring her to an humble imitation. It is not so easily an acquired art as it may be thought by the uninitiated to deftly cleave the double hinged doors of the delicious tid-bit, seize the indweller by its ebony handle, dip it into a dish of melted butter hard by, and give the globular stomach, suspended on its shoulder straps, the exact swing to safely land it between the open and expectant lips. Talk of Neopolitan macaroni eaters, of the manipulation of Chinese chop-sticks, or even the landing on the river's bank of the silvery gamey trout, — these are child's play to the proper handling and safe delivery into the mouth of a full- sized Rhode Island clam! O yes, Polydore and Agiway were famous cooks. For at this point we digressed, and if the fragrant memories of clam bakes led us too much astray, it will be forgiven by those who recall their delights and may not be amiss to those unfortunate descendants born far from the salt breezes and hiding places of the clam on the native shore of their ancestors. HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. 35 One form of the New England Clam Bake still survives in a few secluded spots called "The Church Bake," a means of adding to church revenues far more enjoyable, hence pos- sibly more justifiable than the mercenary " Fair." *' The St. Michael's Clam Bake," started at a later period than the "reign" of the older De Wolf's, is not inappropriately mentioned since it was connected with the old church in which so many of the family had worshipped, and because so many grand- children of the older De Wolfs were among the masters of the ceremonies at this annual feast which was attended by hun- dreds of people from all Rhode Island, who crowded the sum- mit of "Fox Hill," part of the Mount estate. Many beautiful poems of classic purity and dignity could be gathered from the pen of Bishop M. A. De Wolf Howe, but the following verses written by him for the "Mail Box" at St. Michael's Bake give an example of the versatility of one of the wittiest as well as one of the wisest of the family. Our St. Michael's bake, like a wild Irish wake, Brings all the old neighbors together. Here the sacred and funny — devotion and money Are linked by a curious tether. Our matronly church is much in the lurch For a place to encradle her lambs; So we play the old trick — a jolly pic-nic — And a love feast of chowder and clams.

Bristol, July 20, 1864. Unusquisque. It may illustrate what we have said of the activity of the De Wolfs in all the above industries (!) of the town that not less than ten of the names that the Bishop has so wittily in- troduced in his lines appear in the genealogical tables of this volume; this in addition to the author who might have signed the verses by his better known Latin name in college, Marcus Antonius de Lupus Quam. This poem was written to be sold at the "Post Office" of one of the last of these Church Bakes, when money was being raised to build St. Michael's Chapel. The following verses are from a poem written by the author's mother in 1857, when another clam festival was held to get funds to pay off the debt for alterations on the "Old Church," which was burned the following year. The Church of God, the Bride of Christ, Defend her holy purity ; From age to age she firm hath stood. And shall to all futurity. o 5 D : C I H ■< S o o S ■< EC HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. 37 Although her lustre has been dimmed, Her holy light been feebly poured ; Her sacred aisles polluted by Oppression, warfare, and the sword. Still she doth stand, her pure light given To every nation, every tongue ; On every shore her spires have risen. Within her courts God's praise is sung. Cast forth, a callow, unfledged thing. From her parent nest on high ; To-day she soars on eagle's wing Through every clime and sky. But these last named events were in the days when the history of the De Wolfs had passed the zenith of its glory, and our story must return to the olden days when the family gatherings were more resplendent. The writer well remembers his mother's description of her first impression of these "family gatherings" when she was welcomed to the home of her husband, James De Wolf Perry — who had, since his mother's second marriage, lived at the "Mount." From his home in New York City came the oldest son James and his beautiful wife, Julia Post, whose sister Ellen was the wife of the dashing younger brother, Francis De Wolf .- James was the most accomplished of the family, popular in the Court circles of Europe, as was later his beautiful daughter Julianna — Mrs. Robert Cutting, of New York. Prescott Hall, of Newport, and his stately wife, the oldest surviving daughter of the house, was there. The oldest daughter and perhaps the most beautiful of all, Mrs. Perry, had died before her son's marriage. The other daughters were present ; Nancy and her husband, Fritz Henry Homer, from Boston— she whose hand was so beautiful that a famous sculptor begged the favour of copying it as a m.odel. Kate De Wolf, too, then radiant in her brilliant but too fatal charms ; while the youngest daughter, Josephine must then have been just blooming into the glorious beauty which it was said at a later day so affected a sensitive young Cuban student, that on seeing her enter old St. Michael's Church, he fainted. Such was the family tradition though many a time has the writer heard this aunt laughingly protest against it as an unfounded myth — this great-aunt, who as Mrs. Charles Lovett, of Boston, 38 HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. the last of Mark Anthony De Wolf's grandchildren, has died in extreme but lovely old age since these pages have been in preparation. The sons had contributed to the exceptional beauty of the assembly not only by their own presence, but that of wives noted for their personal charms. The two beautiful Miss Posts who had entered the family have been already mentioned. The proud Mark Anthony had married Sophia Chappotin of a French refugee family from Martinique ; and the writer can remember how on the streets of Baltimore, where in old age she lived with her granddaughter, Mrs. Theobold, men would stop and admire her stately carriage and her graceful French manners, which she retained as an octogenarian. Mark Anthony himself was of most lordly mein. He could at times be as terrible and imperious as at others winning and gracious, as when he used to summon us children from the nursery at dessert, and placing his dainty little granddaughter Caroline in the centre of the dining table, feed her with dainties. There, too, was William Henry, perhaps the most renowned for personal beauty of them all. How handsome the writer in his boyhood used to think him as he used to walk down the marble walk of his beautiful home, crying to him, "Good morning. Commodore ! " And his sweet-faced wife, Sarah Rogers, to whom the writer's father at the age of fourteen wrote this tribute to her beauty at the time of the birth of her daughter Rosalie (Mrs. John Hopper): "Dear Aunt: I have heard a great deal of babe. I have forgotten its (!) name, but if it is as handsome as you it must be handsome." Their grandson, DeWolf Hopper, comes well by his fine physique and grace upon the stage. Lastly, there was the youngest son, bearing the name of his Puritan ancestor, William Bradford, and his beautiful young bride, Mary Soley, — dear "Aunt Mary," with such calm, placid beauty, even in her last years. As it was this gathering to wel- come his mother which furnished the writer his earliest know- ledge of the social life of the " Mount; " so it was the marriage of the oldest daughter of William Bradford, Harriett to Gene- ral Loyd Aspinwall of New York, that in his boyhood caused the glory of the old "Mount" to leap up with what might be termed an almost expiring flash of brilliancy. It was the coming in of the new, — the passing of the old. The family HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. 39 plate piled with new luxuries, the ancient mahogany groaning with the showy though less satisfying modern morsels, fitly accompanied by the supercilious tones of New York caterers as they banished to the sideboard the rich " whips " in long cut glasses, the delicate custards in antique cups, the trembling jellies of varied hues prepared by that fine old lady, the bride's "Aunt Ruth Soley." And the glories of the De Wolfs of Bristol were waning with the old past. They were in their zenith in the times of Charles, James and William De Wolf and their brothers. Prof. Munroe says of Mr. James De Wolf : " When he died there was no one to take his place, and the news of his death seemed for a while to crush the life out of the town. With its every industry he had been more or less intimately connected ; hardly a project had been set on foot where his aid had not been invoked ; never a subscription for a worthy object had been started which his name had not generously led." His wife never left her room after his death, and died the following week. In "A Discourse delivered in Bristol, R. I., Feb. II, 1838, occasioned by the death of the Hon. James De Wolf and Mrs. Ann B.- De Wolf, his wife," by Bishop Alex- ander V. Griswold, one of the most frequent and honored guests at the " Mount," he says : " But a few weeks have passed away since it pleased our Heavenly Father to remove from this life in quick succession both the heads — the father and the mother of a numerous family who have long walked before you in the first ranks of society, and have borne an important and conspicuous part in the business and affairs of this town, and of the State, and indeed of the United States. * * The deceased had long been among the number of my best friends and kindest bene- factors. Considering the rank which the head of the family had long sustained among you, his influence in society, the deep and active interest he has taken in whatever concerned the public good, of which he has been the instrument, together with the extensive family connexions who yet survive to mourn his loss— when all these and like considerations are brought into view, I may well address this congregation gen- erally in the language of sympathy, as having lost a father,— a public benefactor. He was possessed of a strong mind and ardent feelings; his life was unusually active in profitable 40 HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. business, and both he and his companion had noble, bright and amiable virtues, on which a eulogist would delight to dwell. * * He may be said to have been a father to the poor, whom he employed in various branches of business. His industry was blessed in the accumulation of an ample fortune, which has benefited not his family only, but many others, who without his aid might have been destitute. A rich man who makes good use of his wealth is a great blessing to society, and his death is a public loss." In loneliness to-day many of these old De Wolf homes seem mourning over the momory of bygone days. They stand not without a certain solitary grandeur among the new summer residences rapidly lining the shores of the bay, in the life of which they have little part. Like those few fine "old-school" gentlemen who remain of a former generation, gazing benig- nantly, but with rather perplexed countenances, upon forms that lack somewhat of the stateliness and repose of former days. They seem to have some sense of superiority, with their great beams of blackened oak and stately columns, over the attenuated frames and slenderly laced figures of modern household architecture. Lost through many reverses, in some cases squandered or invested without the sagacity of the fathers — are many of the princely fortunes — princely at least for their time. Some of the descendants rank among the wealthy men of the day, and are conspicuous in public life. A greater number are earning modest incomes by honest toil; some, the truthful historian must record, either by undeserved misfortunes or by their own folly and incompetence, have experienced more bitter struggles. When Capt. James De Wolf gave to the town of Bristol its "poor house," with its extensive surrounding farm, one of his fellow citizens protested: "Why Capt. De Wolf, there'll never be need of so large a poor farm in this small place! " The old gen- tleman, who had already begun to be troubled at the tendency to increasing extravagance on the part of his sons, replied with one of his quizzical smiles, " O, my grandchildren will be coming to live on that farm yet, and they are accustomed to plenty of room." We know of none who have sought shelter within its walls, but we know of some mighty efforts lest they should ! "Linden Place," the beautiful home of Col.

HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. 41 roy Colt stands to-day pre-eminently the finest residence in the central portion of the town. Col. Colt and his brother Judge Le Baron Colt, being grandsons of Gen. George De Wolf, the son of Charles, who was the eldest son of Mark Anthony, represent the oldest branch of the Rhode Island De Wolfs, as do their cousin and brother-in-law, Mr. Frank De Wolf and his children, Mr. Bradford Colt de Wolf and the Baroness de Kestelek. This beautiful house, with its long approach by pavement of marble, with its fine portico of lofty Corinthian columns, its old-fashioned balustrade of intricate pattern around the roof, was built in 181 1 at a cost of $65,000 by Gen. George De Wolf. The architect was Russell Warren, who designed many of the fine Bristol houses of that day. To this home of their girlhood two of Gen. De Wolf's daughters returned in 1866, after an absence from Bristol of thirty years. Mrs. Goode, an invalid, was little seen except by a few of the old friends of her youth, for whom she retained a warm affec- tion. But Mrs. Theodore De Wolf Colt, with her family of talented attractive sons, soon made the old house again famous for its old-timed hospitality. Of fine literary tastes, the author of a volume of published poems, fond of gathering about her the picturesque and the beautiful, she ever cordially welcomed alike highest officers of State and the humblest acquaintances. Two of her sons died. Her only daughter became the wife of Mr. Francis Eugene De Wolf, the son of her oldest brother. Mr. Frank E. De Wolf's beautiful home in Bristol, " Mirimar," although recently built is of the stateliest colonial style, quite worthy to enter into the family of De Wolf mansions. Of her two surviving sons, Le Baron rose to be United States District Judge, and after his marriage established his own home in Bristol, and later a winter home in Providence. The young- est, Samuel Pomeroy, remained in his mother's home, the beau- tiful home of his ancestors, where he still resides. Deeply attached to each other, mother and son united to make the fine old place noted for its open hospitality. Here was enter- tained in 1883, President Arthur; as earlier, another member of the family, William Henry De Wolf entertained President Jackson, whose portrait hangs in the spacious hall as a memo- rial of his visit; and as in 18 17 Gen. George De Wolf, Mrs. Colt's father, celebrated the "Era of Good-feeling" by enter- taining President Monroe. 42 HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. A printed account of these Presidential visits says : "A solid silver pitcher and basin brought from England by Gen. De Wolf were used by the three distinguished guests, and waits the appearance of the next man worthy to follow." Col. Colt rapidly rose to a distinguished position as a mem- ber of the Rhode Island Bar, as a member of the State Legis- lature, and in the great financial enterprises of the State, being now President of the Rubber Trust Co. and of the Rhode Island Industrial Trust Co. During all these years mother and son were inseparable, and no one gave the writer more extensive and sympathetic aid than Mrs. Colt in the prepara- tion of this work. It was only after this volume was nearly ready for publication that at the advanced age of eighty-one, she was stricken with her last illness. To her and to her son. Col. S. Pomeroy Colt, are largely due the possibility of preparing and publishing this work. Among the most recent and brilliant of the " festas " at " Linden Place," was the marriage of Mrs. Colt's granddaughter to Baron Louis de Kestelek of Hungary. Mrs. Colt also lived to witness, at her son Judge Colt's residence in Providence, the brilliant marriage of her granddaughter and namesake, Theodora, to Edwin Armington Barrows. The home of Gen. George De Wolf's father, Charles, the eldest of the sons of Mark Anthony, was a house that stood upon Thames street, at the foot of Constitution street. This too, was a fine mansion in its day. Its terraced garden led down to the water which lapped a shore which had not then been curtailed of much of its extent and more of its beauty by devastating gales. Its summer house still ornaments one of the gardens of Bristol. But fire has dealt mercifully with the old place itself. When it was moved on to another part of the lot to make room for "Gardiner's Sawmill," it was converted into tenements for the mill hands. Its great rooms were still hung with imported paper of birds with "painted plumages gay," making a mute protest against altered circumstances until the pitying flames devoured the desecrated walls. Here it was that Mr. Charles De Wolf entertained in the lavish style of the family, as the oldest son of the house, and years in advance of the first great feasts at " The Mount," for he was nearly twenty years older than his brother James. It was here that he learned that one of his ships could not pass HON. CHARLES DE WOLF (14), Bristol, R. I. Born Feb. 25, 1745: Died Aug. 20, 1820.

HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. 43 beyond the Ferry, for it was a severe winter when even that strong current had yielded to the death grip of the cold, and all the harbor was solid ice. But if his uncle Sim Potter "would plow the sea into porridge but he'd make money," — the same dauntless spirit in his nephew made even such a field of ice no insuperable barrier between him and his gold. Down he tramped to his ice-bound ship, and back over the frozen harbor with bags of gold in his hands which he landed safely in the bank vaults in Bristol. It was of the gold brought in one of his ships from Guinea that a beautiful goblet was ham- mered out by hand, which later was given by his son George to Bishop Griswold, and is now in the possession of Mrs. Sydney De Wolf, widow of the Bishop's grandson. After Mr. Charles De Wolf's death, the place was purchased by his brother James, and as we have already recorded became the home of his grandson, James De Wolf Perry, upon his marriage, and the birthplace of the writer and his two older brothers. When the writer's mother became heir to " Silver Creek," the family moved "over the bridge." The latter place was therefore the birth-place of all the writer's brothers younger than himself, of his beautiful little sister Julia, and also some of the grandchildren. Mrs. Julia Jones and Mrs. George De Wolf had always maintained the closest friendship, the latter having named a little daughter who died in child- hood Julia Bourn for her friend. On the reverses of fortune which caused Gen. George De Wolf to take his family to his estates in Cuba, "Linden Place" also passed into the hands of James De Wolf, and was given by him to his son William Henry as the latter's home. For a space of years the house again became renowned for beauty and accomplishment as well as lavish hospitality. Of the beauty of Mr. De Wolf him- self and of his wife we have already spoken, several of his children inherited it to a marked degree. One of the dearest and sweetest of the cousins of the writer, "sweet Kate Budd" as those who knew her loved to call her," falling asleep" while aiding in the preparation of these chapters. Of them all only three sisters remain, all widowed, two living in New York City, and the youngest of the family residing in Paris with her daughter Lady Lee. It does not seem necessary to follow the later history, when though still owned by the family, it was the famous hotel, the 44 HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. De Wolf House, of Bristol It is enough to rejoice that it is again a De Wolf home. Another old De Wolf home has disappeared, the earlier home of William De Wolf, upon the " Neck "— " The old Farm," as it was known in the family, originally bought from the Indians. It was purchased by William De Wolf, who built an ell to the old farmhouse and otherwise enlarged and beautified it. His son Henry began the erection of the beautiful man- sion upon Poppasquash * Point, but being unable from business embarrassment to complete it, the father exchanged houses with his son, and finished the new residence in the very beau- tiful proportions it now bears. This latter house after being for many years the home of William De Wolf's two daughters, Mrs. Roberts Rogers and Miss Charlotte De Wolf, both dying at a great age and most truly " in the odor of sanctity," it is now the home of his granddaughter, Mrs. Russell Middleton, for- merly of Charleston, S. C. Mr. William De Wolf, as we have already seen, became, like his brothers, one of the princely merchants of Bristol, and owner of plantations in the West Indies. He too entertained many distinguished people of the day, among them, as we shall see later. Judge Benjamin De Wolf of Nova Scotia, and several of the Connecticut De Wolfs. Next to the William De Wolf house, and so that the conti- guous lawns slope gracefully to the sea, and form one of the finest spots the eye can rest upon from the opposite shore of the town, is the beautiful home built by Mark Anthony De Wolf. It is an exact model in wood of the Temple of Minerva. "The Venus room," with its fine Italian mantel, supported by exquisite marble statues of the goddess from which the room is called, the long drawing room finished in mahogany, and the great hall, running the entire length of the house, makes it a mansion of fine proportions, a fit com- panion of the noble old house by its side. This too, is occu- pied by the granddaughter of its builder, Mrs. Margaret De Wolf Mudge. The ''old Farmhouse" on the "Neck" no longer stands, * Prof. Munro's spelling of this word is adopted as, according to such authorities on Indian names as Dr. Usher Parsons, more likely to conform to the original Pokanoket word than Pappoose-squaw with its poetic but prob- ably fanciful derivation from the use of this peninsula as a refuge for the wives and children of the Indian braves when at war. o H X > o w 5 5 ■■" m <^^ S > w z > c 2 r 73 r" > Z 2 c t/) r r w H C z d r 15 HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. 45 though opposite it resides another of William De Wolf's grand- daughters, Mrs. Charles Dana Gibson.* Gone too is the noble elm at the gate, under whose shade Mr. Henry De Wolf used to sit, with his hair tied up in a queue, accompanied by his sweet old wife Nancy, and her saintly sister Miss Marsten, all still bearing the marks of the beauty for which they had been noted; while groups of children and grandchildren, who had inherited their full share of per- sonal charm, sported under the wide spreading boughs. Of this old tree Mr. Henry De Wolf's granddaughter Mrs. Pratt writes, " Do you remember the old elm? A wondrously sym- metrical tree. The night before the September gale, Grandma gave a reception for Mr. and Mrs. Erskine and as the guests were leaving, some one called attention to the beauty of the tree by lamplight. The family gathered under its spreading branches on that very warm September night and admired its wonderful beauty. The next day the greater part went over in that dreadful gale. It seemed as though the night before was a sort of farewell tribute to the old elm — the 23d of Octo- ber — dear Grandma died about six weeks later." It might seem that the Rhode Island De Wolfs had shared the fate of the old elm. The loss of many of the branches of the family tree, lopped off by winds of adversity and, it is feared one must add, often falling by inner decay, have sadly shorn it of its symmetry. Comparatively few of its branches bear the sur- name De Wolf, it having largely been continued in female lines. Yet now and again vigorous new growth appears, some- times conspiciously in the talent of an artist like Dana Gibson, a De Wolf by double descent, in the adventurous arctic explor- ation of his brother Langdon, in eloquence at the bar, in pulpit, in the pen of the ready writer, in the brilliant leadership in * Since these lines were written this member of the De Wolf family, Mrs. Gibson has been called to her rest.

The home of the youngest brother of the family, Levi, a little north of the Poppasquash corner, upon the main road to Warren, still stands and was until quite recent years the home of his only surviving child Abby, generally spoken of as " Miss Abby Levi De Wolfe," to distinguish her from other Abbys of the family. Mr. Levi De Wolf did not amass a fortune as did several of his brothers. When early reverses of fortune fell to him, they united in sharing their profits with him. But his lack of wealth was not always from involuntary causes. He made a number of trips as captain for his brother James, going to Africa three times. After a profitable voyage his brother James offered to fit out a ship for him, as a slaver adding, "the profits of this trip shall be yours." The offer was refused, "his conscience would no longer allow him to deal in trading of slaves, and he then made this remark, ' I will never die a rich man but I will never come to want.' " So writes his great-granddaughter from her father's boyish memories of his grandfather, " a lovable old man." This grandson, Mr. Charles Wesley Allen, still possesses the scales used in slave-trading for weighing gold dust, and a pair of cuff buttons with L. De W. engraved upon them, made of gold dust. In the old home- stead on the " Neck " built from the plaji of the home of his brother John on the Ferry road, Levi De Wolf lived a quiet religious life. Writing from Paris a few days after the battle of Waterloo, when he saw the Duke of Wellington and the British troops, he says, "all nations and kindreds and tongues are assembled here — but they are not all clothed with white robes." Severer than any financial loss was the death of his son Levi, a most promising young man. It bowed his head and saddened his countenance, but only served to deepen his relig- ious life. His mother had on one occasion come to his home from that of her son James, telling the latter that in the con- fusion of his luxurious hospitality, she found no time for her prayers — and Levi told his brothers that he spent in prayer for them the time for which their busy pursuit of wealth seemed to make no room. The venerable Dr. Taf t of Pawtucket spoke of him " as a holy man." On the beautiful hill-side of a portion LEVI DE WOLF (26). Bristol, R. L Born April 8, 1766; Died July 18, 1848. HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. 47 of his estate known as the "Junipers," he was buried by his daughter Abby. An inscription records that at that very spot he was accustomed to spend hours in communion with God. In part her gift, the place has become the beautiful Juniper Hill Cemetery. The home of Mr. Levi De Wolf was built from the same plans as that from which Capt. John De Wolf, his older brother, had built in 1798, his home which still is occupied by his great- grandchildren and nestles picturesquely among its old trees. Here Capt. John De Wolf, like so many of his family, retired from life upon the sea to the life of a farmer, and became famous as the best farmer of Rhode Island. We shall read in a suc- ceeding chapter of his sheltering in his hospitable home cousins of another branch of the family, and of kindness the memory of which is still treasured in this present generation. He also found time to serve his town as its representative in the Legislature and held other positions of public trust. His son and onlychild Professor John De Wolf, was one of the most distinguished scholars of the State, and for twenty years one of the faculty of Brown University, in the chair of chem- istry, though he was equally well known as a scholar in math- ematics and languages. He was twice married. By his first wife, Elizabeth James, he had one son a well known physician, the late Dr. John De Wolf of Providence, whose children and grandchildren are prominent in both professional and business life. His second wife was Bishop Griswold's beautiful daughter Sylvia, and the descendants by this marriage, the families of Mr. Sydney De Wolf, of Mrs. Bullock, wife of Judge Russel Bullock, and of Mrs. Robert Andrews, are still among the most representative citizens of Bristol. Of the remaining three of the eight sons of Mark Anthony De Wolf, the writer can relate little as to their lives. Of Sam- uel Potter who died unmarried at the age of twenty-one, he has learned nothing but the brief record in the family bible, " Died at sea on the Privateer Oliver Cromwell." Mark Anth- ony the second son and his brother Simon his next younger brother, also perished at sea at any early age, thirty-two and twenty-six respectively. At least they sailed from Hispaniola homeward bound and were never heard from. They both left families. Neither of the sons of the former, Mark Anthony and Samuel, married. So the male line ended. His daughter 48 HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. Elizabeth married Barnard Smith of Warren, her son, who continued the family name, Mark Anthony De Wolf Smith, left two sons, but Samuel died unmarried and George, who married Eliza Peck of Warren, died without children. His widow died quite recently in Warren. Mrs. Elizabeth De Wolf Smith had however, two daughters who married in the West, who very probably have descendants; if so they are the only direct descendants of Mark Anthony De Wolf and Abigail Potter, whom the writer has, if he is not mistaken, failed to trace. Simon De Wolf left but one child to his widow Hannah May, and he was destined to add fame to the name of De Wolf • A reference has been made to the participation in arctic ex- ploits by one of the youngest of the De Wolf family, Mr. Lang- don Gibson. The adventures of one three generations earlier in northern latitudes, then equally unknown, may well find a place in this story. Simon's son John made a journey across Siberia, then unprecedented, which gave him ever after the sobriquet " Capt. Nor West John De Wolf." The writer only remembers the fine old captain when age had whitened his hair. His daughter, the late Mrs. Downing of Dorchester, Mass., is another of the old members of the De Wolf family who gave cordial encouragement to the begining of this genealogy, but has not lived to see it completed. The reader can best learn the achievements of Capt. De Wolf by some brief extracts from his published work, A voyage to the North Pacific and a Journey through Siberia more than half a century ago, by Capt. John De Wolf, Cambridge. Welsh, Bigelow & Co., 1 86 1. In the preface he modestly says: "Al- though I am not one who regard everything beyond the smoke of their own chimney as marvelous, I think my expedition to the Northwest coast was made a little remarkable from the circumstances that I met at Norfolk Sound, his Excellency Baron von Resanoff, to whom I sold my vessel and then crossed the South Pacific in a little craft of twenty-five tons burden, and after an overland journej' of fifty-five hundred miles, re- turned home by the way of St. Petersburg. This was a voyage and travels more than half a century ago, and I was probably the first American who passed through Siberia. I know that others have claimed to be the first and have published descrip- tions of the country; but I had gone over the same route before any of these claimants were born." HON. JOHN DE WOLF (22), Bristol. R. I. Born May 17, 1760; Died Oct. 10, 1S41. i i HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. 49 Capt. De Wolf, having constantly risen in rank in a seafaring life from the early age of thirteen to twenty-four, returned, after a series of long voyages east of Cape of Good Hope to Bristol for a short respite. His employers, Messrs. Charles, James and George De Wolf purchased the Juno, and sent him in command on a voyage to the northwest coast of America to collect furs for the China Market. He put to sea Aug. 13, 1804. On Aug. 14, 1805, when the y««^ was waiting at Norfolk Sound for the Indians to return with furs from a hunting excursion, there arrived as passengers on a Russian brig, a nobleman. Baron Nicholas von Resanoff, a large proprietor of the Russian- American Co., Lieut. N. Schwortoff, Lieut. Davidoff, and Dr. George von Langsdorff. To this Russian party he sold the Juno and the remainder of its cargo for $68,000 and a small Russian vessel, well provisioned, in which he sent the crew of the Juno to Canton. Then he went into winter- quarters, sharing the same house with Dr. Langsdorff, a German naturalist and scientist .who had volunteered to accompany the Russian party for purposes of scientific research and discovery. During this winter, of which Capt. De Wolf gives an interesting and often amusing account, the two com- panions conceived for each other a warm friendship, and determined to pursue their journey together. On June 30, they set sail in a small Russian vessel to Irkutsk. An accoimt of the innoculation of a whole settlement at that place, suffer- ing from small-pox, by means of a needle and thread is interest- ing when compared with modern methods. By a journey of thirty-five thousand miles from this place, Capt. De Wolf reached St. Petersburgh Oct. 21, 1807. The return to his native land was made more rapidly via Liverpool. He arrived in Bristol April i, 1808. "Thus terminates," con- cludes Capt. De Wolf, " an absence of three years and six months from the time of my departure. The owners were in receipt of the proceeds of the voyage, which resulted in a clear profit of one hundred thousand dollars." Capt. De Wolf continued in the Russian trade in which he had made so distinguished and remunerative a beginning. In 1809, he again met his friend Dr. Langsdorff. Their former comrades, Lieutenants Schwortoff and Davidhoff were at the time stationed on the opposite bank of the Neva. After one evening's pleasant reunion, they were drowned in the Neva by 50 HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. the upsetting of their boat. Of their pathetic death, Capt. De Wolf adds: "Though fifty years have gone by since the death of these young men, I cannot forbear to recall their virtues and lament their untimely end." Capt. De Wolf continued, some years after his marriage, in the Russian-American trade. His family have a heavy silver tea service presented to him by the Russian-American Com- pany, as well as much Russian cut glass. On retiring from the sea, like so many sea captains, he occupied himself in farming on a small scale on a fine old place near Brighton, and the last twelve years of his life he made his home with his married daughter, Mrs. Downing, at Dorchester, Mass. " I never knew," writes his granddaughter Mrs. Green, "a more beautiful old age. Beloved by those of all ages, he had many friends among the young people and was young with them, and his grandchildren were devoted to him. They always called him * White Grandpa,' on account of his silvery white hair, to distinguish him from my father. They always knew in just what spot in his room to look for candy and fruits which he always had for them, and if there was anything they particularly wanted, they were always sure that 'White Grandpa' would give it to them. Like so many old people it was hard to adapt himself to modern improvements, and especially the new ideas in ship-building were not always to his liking. At a window of his room at our summer home, commanding a fine view of Boston Harbor, we would often find him holding his spy-glass at arms length, and if sometimes we would ask: 'What do you see. Grandpa?' he would invariably reply: '1 am looking at those blasted three-masted schooners.' We often wonder what he would have thought of the five and six masted ones so common in the harbor now. My grandmother was very fond of us, but we stood in much awe of her — she was so very dignified and strictly a lady of the old school. Grandpa was always a dear companion to us." The reader cannot fail to recognize in this story of this fine old captain of former days — family characteristics — the enter- prize, "indomitable will, somewhat impatient of contradiction, or of new-fangled ideas," combined with that intense passionate love for his family, his tenderness and sweetness toward the little ones. Of the seven daughters of Mark Anthony and Abigail Pot- CAPTAIN JOHN DE WOLF (55), Dorchester, Mass. Born Sept 6, 1779; Died March 6. 1872. HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. 51 ter De Wolf, only four lived long enough to have histories to record. The last children born to them were girl twins, who died the same year. The second daughter, named Abigail, also died in infancy. The youngest daughter to grow up and marry, Lydia, has no surviving descendants. She married first Samuel Lee, and her two boys, Mark Anthony and Samuel were drowned with their cousins, the Howe boys, in an acci- dent that cast a gloom over the town of that day. True to the marine traditions of her family, Mrs. Lee then married Capt. Attwood — the writer always heard her spoken of by his father as "Aunt Attwood." Her one child by that marriage, Abby, married a brother of Mrs. James De Wolf, Hersey Bradford, — so a cousin thus became an aunt by marriage to all of Capt. James De Wolf's family, and a very dear aunt and uncle they were, and very merry were the family gatherings at Uncle Hersey's home, now the residence of Col. Samuel Norris, corner of Bradford and Main streets, Bristol. Very dear and delight- ful cousins, too, were Uncle Hersey's children, Hersey and Seraphina, of the next generation, but both died unmarried, and so as to Aunt Attwood's line : " Now my story is done." The remaining three sisters certainly made up for the lack of descendants, from the four already considered. The eldest, Margaret, married Joseph Diman, of Bristol. At the time of the birth of their children they lived in a house that stood on the northeast corner of Hope and Constitution streets. At the time of her death, however, Mrs. Diman was living in a house which is still standing on the southwest corner of Hope and Court streets. The fine residence, known as the Diman man- sion, which once stood upon Thames street, just north of the store of William R. Taylor, was built by her son. Of the " Diman wharf," which extended from this place, little now remains. Both of her sons. Royal and Jeremiah, were sea captains. From these two sons and her daughter Margaret — Mrs. Liscolm, have descended the numerous Bristol families of that name. The most prominent of them in the State in former days was Gov. Francis Moore Dimon. Though born in Bristol he went to Cuba in early life and later became Consul at Port Au Prince, Haiti, and afterwards for many years, held the same 52 HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. position at Vera Cruz, Mexico. His thorough knowledge of the place and language made him of great service to President Polk and General Scott in planning the bombardment of that city during the Mexican War. For this and because of his being so beloved and respected by the inhabitants he was assigned the honor of entering the city at the head of the vic- torious army. At the termination of the war he was made Collector of the Port of Vera Cruz, and the United States awarded him a large tract of land for his great services and kindness to the Texas prisoners. On his return to Rhode Island he was elected Lieut. -Governor, and as the Governor, Hon. Philip Allen, became almost immediately after his elec- tion U. S. Senator, Lieut. -Governor Dimond served as Governor nearly the entire term. He spent his declining years in his beautiful home, already spoken of as once the home of others of the De Wolf family, Capt. and Mrs. Hersey Bradford, and which is still the home of Gov. Dimond's daughter, the wife of Col. Samuel Norris and their children Samuel Norris, Jr., a successful member of the Rhode Island Bar and his sister to whom the writer is indebted for the above facts concerning her distinguished grandfather. To-day, Margaret De Wolf's branch of the family is distinguished by Miss Emma Bradford Stanton, the Associate Registrar for the Women's College of Brown University. The fourth daughter, if we count both the Abigails, was named Nancy Potter. The writer's search for her descendants furnishes a good example of the genealogist's difficulties and fascinating surprises. As his father had often spoken of his "Aunt Nancy Kinnicutt," and as her niece, the last of the grandchildren of Mark Anthony De Wolf, Mrs. Charles Lovett was still living when he began his search, he naturally believed it an easy task. It was known that, with a young family of chil- dren, Mrs. Kinnicutt had moved from Warren, R. I., to Scho- harie Co., N. Y. Beyond this all search seemed vain — she had begun to be referred to by the cousins joining in the quest as our "elusive Aunt Kinnicutt," and her biography consisted of the quotation from a letter of Mrs. Lovett's granddaughter and namesake. Miss Josephine Brooks (daughter of Rev. John Brooks, and niece of the great Bishop of Massachusetts): "All that any of us have known about her is that the bears used to come out of the mountains on moonlight nights and prowl HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. 53 about the piazza in Schoharie, N. Y., which used greatly to impress my childish imagination." The conclusion seemed irresistable that "Aunt Kinnicutt" and her nine children had been brought to an imtimely end by the bears — when a happy accident discovered a great-grandchild in Mrs. Hall, wife of Prof. Edward Winslow Hall, Librarian of Colby College, Waterville, Me. She kindly furnished the first information obtained in regard to Nancy De Wolf, and put the writer in communication with other members of the family. To one of these, Mr. George A. Perry of New York City, the writer is under great obligation, not only for his labor of love in tracing out all the ramifications of this line of De Wolfs, but also for invaluable aid in arranging the tables of Perry descent and for many other services. Nancy Potter De Wolf was married June 16, 1782, in Bristol, R. I., by the Rev. Solomon Townsend to Edward Kinnicutt. Their home was in Warren, R. I., the home of her husband's family, the last of whom has recently died there. They lived in Warren until the birth of their third child, when they moved to Schoharie Co., N. Y. Here, as has been seen above, they battled with the conditions of a new settlement; but the tradi- tions preserved by her descendants of Mrs. Kinnicutt's charac- ter, person and bearing, show that the strong will and sense of family dignity so characteristic of her race were not broken by uncongenial environment. Her granddaughter, Mrs. Celia Smith, (daughter of her son Edward), is the chief living authority for these traditions, as she was sixteen years of age at the time of her father's death, and remembers much that her father related of his mother. According to Mrs. Smith, so Mr. Perry writes, " Nancy was regarded as 'aristocratic,' but very generous and kind. There was no doubt that she was really a beautiful woman with a light complexion, but dark hair and eyes — a type that descended to her eldest child, Samuel De Wolf, his daughter Marietta and others. The same petite figure and quick, impulsive vivacious manner appeared in many of her descendants. Nancy De Wolf had the poetic temperament in full measure." " It is said she would never turn anyone in want from her door. Every tramp was fed, but she would stand over him while eating and lecture him soundly for his shiftlessness. She was devoted to the Church, but as there was no Episcopal 54 HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. Church near them, some of the Kinnicutt family became attendants at the Baptist." Mr. Perry thus sums up her character: "She was quick, vivacious and impulsive, and withal a strong, generous and noble woman, devoted to the duties of her home and of her Church." Edward Kin- nicutt, her husband was of good old New England stock. His paternal descent was John, son of John, son of Roger Kin- nicutt. On the maternal side his mother, Hannah Gorham, was daughter of Jabez, son of Jabez, son of Capt. John (xorham, whose wife was Desire Howland, daughter of John and Elizabeth [Tilley] Hov/land; both of the Mayflower, and the latter probably the granddaughter of Gov. Carver. Moving to Schoharie County, they purchased a large estate, and built one of the first homesteads in that part of the State. Here until their death they mamtained a home of refinement and culture, and were widely known and highly esteemed. They kept in touch with their kindred and friends in Rhode Island. Mrs. Kinnicutt was a favorite sister of her brother James, only four years his senior, and one of the memories of her children was his visit to Schoharie, driving all the way from his home in Bristol in a " Coach and Four." " My mother remembered," writes Mrs. Hall, "boxes of goodies that used to arrive in Cobbleskill from James De Wolf. The coffee, tea, spices, raisins, etc., were superior to anything ever seen there." Edward Kinnicutt fell dead April 27th, 1820, Five years later Nancy executed a will, witnessed by James and William De Wolf and Hersey Bradford. It is a quaint document, pre- served by Mr. G. A. Perry. Full of the complex legal phrases of the day, space does not permit its full reproduction here. After a Christian commendation of soul and body to her Maker, in full assurance of the Resurrection "when the trum- pet shall summon it {i. e. her body) to a glorious and intermin- able association with its immortal companion in the skies," she divides her estate among her children and grandchildren, mak- ing many of those old-time bequests which throw light upon the value of such possessions in the time of our great grand- mothers. Thus she leaves to each of her children "one silver tablespoon, having the initials 'N, D.'W.' engraved thereon." In the case of her son Samuel, "said spoon after his death to his daughter Marietta." The treasured possession of one of these spoons by Mrs. Hall was almost all she knew of her HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. 55 great grandmother, as her mother, Mrs. Hascall, had been sent to her paternal grandfather in West Rutland, Vt., at an early- age. The will bequeaths the homestead to Joseph, her oldest son, except the occupancy of her own sleeping room, which is left to her daughter Nancy, and these two remained there unmarried till the time of their death. To her daughter Abigail Vincent she left her " looking-glass, large rocking chair, a bed quilt and a book entitled the ' Life of Sarah Osborn';" to her daughter Mary Ann Harman, "my string of gold beads, a small well finished cherry chest, and the book entitled ' Sher- lock on Death';" and to her "granddaughter Julia Vincent, a set of calico bed curtains." As we have seen, Joseph and Nancy remained unmarried, William died at nineteen, many years before his parents, Charles and James died in infancy. Only four of her children married, yet Nancy De Wolf's descendants number one hun- dred and seventeen, of whom seventy-nine are (March 15, 1902) still living, but none bear the name of Kinnicutt. Of the oldest married son, Samuel De Wolf Kinnicutt, his grand- son, Mr. Perry, writes such a charming sketch that space must be made for a liberal quotation in his own words. " My grandfather was a most picturesque and interesting character, — a refined gentleman of the old school. I spent my early childhood at the Kinnicutt Homestead, which he built and which to me as I look back was a most delightful spot. He used to tell me the old classical stories of Greece and Rome, and the mysteries of astronomy. The homesteads were well supplied with books, and both Samuel and his brother Edward were fond of reading. I often found my grandfather reading his 'Horace' or 'Locke on the Understanding.' He recited poetry by the page. I cannot remember when I did not know about James De Wolf, and of his ships and losses at the time the embargo, and of his ' grand mansion ' in Bristol and the visits he made to his sister Nancy. In fact he made my childhood a delightful dream. His gentleness and beauti- ful character endeared him to me as a constant inspiration, and when at the age of eighty-seven, in 1865, he died while I was away at school, it seemed as if I had lost my best friend. He is buried on the old estate." Samuel Kinnicutt had built his own house a half-mile east of the original home, the latter about one hundred years old. 56 HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. Samuel's house was burned in 1826, but upon the same site he built a second, the house Mr. Perry remembers — the winding staircase down whose rail he took many a ride, the great open J fire place around which they gathered and cracked hickory nuts in the long winter nights, when from the neighboring J homestead his Uncle Edward often joined them, and the brothers discussed the news of the Crimean War. In regard to the many fine old pine trees on the estate, their "trunks straight as a mast, three or four feet in diameter, without a limb or a knot for one hundred feet or so," relics of the "forest primeval," Mr. Perry tells a characteristic story of his grandfather. As the estate became divided into small farms, one noble monarch of the forest after another had been sacrificed — cut, drawn and quartered by the new neighboring saw mills. One still stood in solitary grandeur on a hill near b)'. Often Mr. Kinnicutt would climb the hill to gaze at the noble tree and reflect on the cruel wantonness that had cut down all its companions. One day, taking its owner to the tree, he asked him to put a price upon it. "Well, Mr. Kinnicutt," was the reply, " I will cut it down and saw it into lumber which you shall have at the lowest price." "Cut it down! cut it down!" exclaimed Mr. Kinnicutt with burning indignation, "I do not want it cut; I want it to stand right here!" This was a puzzling and novel business proposition to the unsen- timental settler, but the tree was saved. Mr. S. De W. Kinnicutt's only son, a promising young man, died at nineteen. His two daughters married; the older, Marietta, became the wife of John Henry Coons, well known in the county, and for several years County Clerk; Hester Ann married Henry Nelson Perry, the father of our correspondent, a man described as not only very handsome in person, but " a real gentleman by nature, very bright, quick and generous to a fault." Their son, Mr. George A. Perry, who has been so frequently quoted, a resident of New York City, his summer home on Lake Champlain, has two sons who, with himself, inherit the literary tastes of Samuel Kinnicutt — Mr. Perry enlisting while still a student of Charlotte Seminary, N. Y., in the 91st N. Y. Vol. Reg't., served throughout the war, then re- turned to school, later took his Master's Degree at Wes- leyan University, and has been a classical teacher all his life — his oldest son, Ralph Barton, graduated at Princeton with HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. 57 high honors, Class of 96, later took three years post graduate course in Philosophy at Harvard, and after having been an instructor in Philosophy in Williams' College and in Smith's College has just received the appointment to the same position in Harvard University. His younger brother, Edward De Wolf, after attending Princeton University has entered on a course of Naval Architecture in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, As we have seen, neither of the two sons of Nancy De Wolf Kinnicutt who married left male issue. Nancy's daughter Mary Ann married in Hardwick, Mass., Henry Harmon. Of their three children, Charles married his cousin Emeline Kinnicutt; James married Lucinda Lear in Bridgeport, Vt., and became the father of several Vermont branches of the family; while their only daughter Celia married Ralph Henry Hascall, a son of Rev. Daniel Hascall, D.D., the founder of Colgate University, N. Y., and a descendant of both William Bradford and Stephen Hopkins of the Mayflower company. Thus, again, were branches of the family established in New England and the literary traditions of the Kinnicutt's preserved, for a daughter of this last marriage Mary Sophia Hascall married Professor Edward Winslow Hall, L.L.D., also a descendant of the Alayflower company through his ancestor, Francis Cook, and who after serving many years upon the Faculty of Colby College, Waterville, Me., is the Librarian and Register of that institution of learning. This is the Mrs. Hall of whom the writer's indebtedness has been already acknowl- edged. The only remaining daughter of Mark Anthony De Wolf to be considered, Abigail — married at about the age of twenty, Capt. Perley Howe who had recently come to Bristol from the home of his father, Rev. Perley Howe, at Killingley, Conn., of which place the latter, a graduate of Harvard, was the congregational minister. The first three sons of this mar- riage, the eldest only twenty-five at the time, rovers of the sea like their father and their grandfather De Wolf, on return- ing from a voyage around the world were wrecked and lost with two other grandsons of Capt. Mark Anthony De Wolf on the New England shore. Says the beautiful little sketch of Bishop Howe by his widow from which many of these facts are gathered: "The mother who was anxiously awaiting their s 58 HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. arrival dreamed, on a certain stormy night, that they were in mortal peril. The ship never came to land, but the repentant waves left on the shore some records of their cruel work. What wonder that the dream and its interpretation were thought to be one!" Mr. Charles De Wolf Brownell con- tributes a family tradition somewhat awesome that might seem to belong to this accident — perhaps another form of the story which Mrs. Howe preserves. Only as Mr. Brownell writes, he does not "know that any of the old family who were lost at sea were married," as the reference of the child to a "father would imply." Thus runs the tale: " In the great storm when they were supposed to be lost, one of the children woke up, in the middle of the night, sat up in bed and called out: 'Mother, there's father,' and the same moment a table with folding leaves, standing in the middle of the floor, turned bottom side up, the leaves falling flat on the floor. On the same night my grandfather, Capt. Charles De Wolf had a dream that he met one of the sailors of the ship and asked him: 'Jack, where's your captain and where's your mate?' The answer came back: ' The captain's gone and the mate's left behind.' " To whomsoever this story may relate, (after many of the De Wolf family must be written: "Lost at sea,") it adds another to a long list of well authenticated dreams and presentiments of coming death. Capt. Perley Howe "was an ardent patriot in the War of the Revolution, and was im- poverished by a too confident trust in the value of continental money." He therefore resorted to teaching, in this occupation spending his last years in Hartford, Killingly and Weathers- field, Conn. In Killingly, John Howe was born. After her husband's death, the widow returned with her two boys, John and George, to Bristol. Here she married a second time, Capt. Jeremiah Ingfraham. She probably occupied as Mrs. Ingraham the home which, much altered, still stands south of the Post- office. It was in this house her grandson. Bishop Howe, was born. The writer remembers when it was the home of the only child of the second marriage, Mary Ingraham, the wife of Rev. John West. This latter very handsome couple, John and Mary West, in this house brought up a large family who inherited the beauty and vivacity of their parents. The numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren of Mrs. Abigail (De Wolf) Howe have maintained the family name both for fair- ABIGAIL DE WOLF (19), Wife of (1) Captain Perley Howe.

HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. 59 ness of face and sweetness of disposition, leaders in the circle of society scattered from Mexico and California to New York • from Charlestown to Newport and Bristol. The inconstant sea continued its cruel bereavements to Abigail De Wolf, depriv- ing her of her second husband, but she herself lived to be nearly eighty years of age. Of her son John, Hon. Nathaniel Bullock, his brother in the profession of the law, and a fellow student under Judge Bourn, writes in an obituary in the Bristol Phcenix^ March i8, 1864, at the time of Mr. Howe's death: " He graduated at Rhode Island College, now Brown Uni- versity, in the year 1805, and was distinguished among the members of a numerous class for diligence in his studies and correct deportment. On leaving college, he devoted himself to the study of law under Judge Bourn, and on admission to the bar commenced the practice of his profession in this town, and continued in it till in 1841 he was appointed Collector of the Customs for the District of Bristol and Warren by Presi- dent Harrison. With talents peculiarly adapted to his chosen profession, and a mind already disciplined to study, he soon secured a fair practice and an enviable reputation at the bar, then regularly attended by such lawyers as Burrill, Burgess and Searle of Providence ; and Hazard, Robbins and Hunter of Newport. No advocate was ever more faithful, or more closely identified himself with his client. His manner as a speaker was delib- erate, forcible and impressive. If the trial involved a mooted question of law for the consideration of the Court, he never failed to come to the discussion well prepared, and opposing counsel was sure to find a hard antagonist to encounter. He early took a part in the politics of the day, making his debut as a Federalist in opposition to a large family con- nexion that had influence enough to control the polls at town elections. He thus cast his lot with a party that was in the minority not only in the town, but also in the State and Coun- try. Had self-interest or ambition for official preferment been his leading object, he would have united with his power- ful kindred, and thrown himself into the majority. But he based his political opinions on principles he believed to be right, and was not to be shaken from them. He contracted good habits in his youth, and sustained an unblemished moral character throughout his life. He was 6o HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. happy in his domestic ties, and performed all the duties of that relationship with devoted and warm affection. He was a constant worshipper at St. Michael's Church, and one of its Vestry many years ; made a public profession of his faith in the Christian religion four years before his death, and died in the hope it inspires." Mr. Howe was also fond of literary studies, and was the author of many able articles and essays, many in advocacy of the protection policy of the Whigs, to which party he attached himself when the Federal party expired. He represented Bristol in the General Assembly for a number of years. He built the handsome residence on Hope street, later known as the house of Gov. Byron Diman, and to this new home brought his only child, Mark Anthony De Wolf, when nine weeks old- He had married Louise Smith, a sister of Benjamin Bosworth Smith, who lived to be Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church in the United States. Mrs. Howe was a descendant of Richard Smith, one of the founders of Bristol in 1680, and first town clerk. His wife was known for her loveliness of character. She and the writer's grandmother were devoted friends, their husbands, business partners. Mr. Howe was with Abel Jones, viewing land of Mr. Jones where Chicago now stands, when the latter died. It was looking out of her window and seeing Mr. Howe lead back her husband's riderless horse that gave Mrs. Jones the first news of her husband's death, five months before the birth of their daughter Julia. It was in the beautiful home of Bishop Howe, " Weetamoe," at Bristol, that the writer used to watch the strong fine face of Mr. John Howe, who spent his last days with his son, while the writer's friend, Mr. Howe's grandson Herbert, then showing every indication of becoming a great artist, painted his grand- father's portrait. It was many years later in the old parlor of Silver Creek after bidding adieu to the friend of his youth that the aged Bishop was assisted to his carriage, stricken with the beginning of the illness which a few days later called him to his reward. But, although the writer was privileged with the inspirations of the Bishop in childhood and of his counsels in later years, and was brought up in intimacy with his children, and although he has listened to many an anecdote of Bristol's history from the lips of the Bishop, than whom none knew or loved his native town better, he can do better for his readers JOHN FELL HOWE (1167).

There will be found in later pages of this volume a brief sketch of the first Bishop of Central Pennsylvania, by his own son and namesake, already making himself favorably known in literary circles in connection with the Youths' Companion and as editor of some charming volumes. Of the long line of the Howe family whose portraits through the courtesy of Dr. Herbert M. Howe and other sons of Bishop Howe, adorn these pages, the youngest is that of John Fell Howe, son of Dr. Herbert M. Howe, and the great-great-great grandson of Mark Anthony De Wolf. The only son of his father, beloved and respected by all who knew him, already having shown promise of those splendid talents which have distin- guished so many of his family and, as will be seen by his portrait, not lacking in those personal attractions for which the De Wolfs have been noted, a face of singular purity and sweetness, as well as enkindled with lofty purpose — he may appropriately close the line of six generations of De Wolf faces that look forth from these pages — symbolizing all that is most desirable and hoped for from the living descendants. His bright life closed Dec. 31, 1895, in his twenty-first year, his junior year at Yale college, yet not before he had set an example of manli- ness, of Christian character, of high intellectual attainments that lives after him, so that his teacher and friend, Rev. Charles W. Coit, a master of St. Paul's School, Concord, in his address at his funeral, could say: "My brothers, the life of John Howe is not really over. His fragrant memory will always live with those who knew and loved him. It was impossible to look into his clear, frank, open countenance without recognizing the truth and innocence and reverence for good things that dwelt within. * * While entering with keen enjoyment into all manly pursuits and exercises, both on land and water; while holding a high place in all his studies, for which his clear, strong mind and his powers of application fully qualified him, John Howe possessed that true manliness which comes from strict adherence to high principles." A life which called forth such high praise from his teacher, while college classmates, united in speaking of him as " one whose Christian character and manly bearing endeared him to all who knew him," does not close, however early, without stamping its indelible mark for good. On his father's side he 62 HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. inherited the high moral and religious traits and intellectual attainments that has been described in the preceding pages. Indeed, much in the description of his character given in the memorial which is here quoted, reminds the writer of what he had heard from his mother's lips of the seriousness, yet joy- ousness, the depth of thought and the brilliancy of wit of his grandfather Bishop Howe, when a college tutor. From the side of his mother, Mary W. Fell Howe, he inherited "an unusual degree of practical and business skill, together with a large degree of common sense, that rare gift so desirable yet so hard to define" (In Memoriam, Bristol Phcenix, Jan. 7, 1896), as well he might, from the daughter of Gillingham Fell, one of the most prominent, successful and respected of Philadelphia's great business men; the president of the Union League of Philadelphia, during the war. The enduring inspiration which such a life should exert on all the younger generations, for whom these pages are chiefly written, shines forth in these graceful lines of William G. Low, Jr., one of the "ten trusty friends and classmates who bore him to his grave." "Thou belted knight, sealed with the holy cross ; Thine is immortal gain and ours the loss ! God saw thee early, foremost in the fight, And took thy soul to join the Hosts of Light ! " The deep, yet triumphant sorrow of his kinsmen and friends, breathes in the lines of his uncle, M. A. De W. Howe, as he paced the ice-bound shore that skirts the ancestral home, "Weetamoe," in Bristol. "To walk beside this winter shore, Was not for his young feet ; Of summer learned he all his lore, Smiling from life's wide opened door A summer world to greet. The icy channel's narrowed span 'T was not for him to know ; His current widening as it ran, Still smoothly spreads as it began ; Free from our frosts and snow." For such a life one may pray with sure Christian confi- dence, as does the memorial before us — as does the writer for all those "gone before" whose names are recorded in these pages. HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. 63 "Grant them, O Lord, eternal rest; And let perpetual light shine upon them." The reign of the De Wolfs as the dominant family of the town is ended. Few of the old mansions fling wide their doors as of old to merry throngs. The wharves of the old sea cap- tains are many of them rotting in the harbor. Not by any means that Bristol presents the aspect of a "deserted village." Quite the contrary. Its population has greatly increased, and is certainly much more diversified than in early days. The whistles of the National Rubber Works summon greater streams of humanity than were once employed in the shops and counting houses ; at the shore may be seen as great gath- erings to witness the launching of the latest wonder that glides from the ways at the Hereshoffs' as were accustomed to collect there to see the great casks of Jamaica rum or Havana molasses rolled on the wharves. With steamers in the harbor and cars taking the place of the stage-coach, strangers have been attracted by the beauties of the town. A beautiful succession of residences crowns the Ferry hill. Among these new homes the De Wolfs do not lack representation. Among them is the beautiful home of Dr. Herbert M. Howe, the oldest son of Bishop Howe, and to whom the writer is indebted for much aid in this work, including the copies of fine portraits in his posses- sion — one by his own brush ; for he has combined the unusual gifts of an artist, a physician, and an eminently prosperous and successful business man. Yet with all its more recent prosperity, Bristol seems full of voices of the past — shadows of faded splendors and mysterious whisperings of romances; aye, tragedies too, of bygone days. The sob of sailless waves bewails the once mighty masters of ships as they idly splash against the deserted wharves. The day of the Vikings is past. The graceful pleasure boats, with great white wings over inconspicuous hulls, sent forth by the Hereshoffs to win silver cups of victory are but as the summer water fowl that skim the waves which were once ploughed by mighty Dino- saurs of trade, laden with the riches of the Indies, and the dark monsters of the deep whose capacious maws echoed with the unspeakable captive laments of their human freight. The great fortunes won from the deep seem to have been called back to it, like the return of the golden ring to the Rhine maidens. Lost by misfortune, sometimes, it must be 64 HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. confessed, squandered, the wealth of the De Wolfs no longer excites the envy or claims the admiration of former days. "Old Bristol" looks calmly, if somewhat curiously, on the new Bristol rising in its midst.

TN the inception of his work, the writer knew nothing of -*• Simon the older son of Charles of Guadalcape, other than the incorrect entry in some of the family bibles: " Simon never returned to America." Another erroneous tradition in the Rhode Island family was that from Simon sprang the Canadian branches of the De Wolfs. It has been as gratifying as surprising to become acquainted through correspondence with a great number of Simon's widely scattered descendants. This was first accomplished through the Rev. Erastus De Wolf of Boerne, Texas. The writer knew that his father, Rev. Erastus De Wolf, Sr., had visited James De Wolf in Bristol, and was well remembered there. Simon's descendants have been as enterprising in fell- ing primeval forests and subduing the wilderness, becoming founders of new communities in the west as were the sons of Mark Anthony in ploughing the seas. Simon De Wolf was sent home from Guadaloupe, West Indies, to his grandfather Charles at Middletown, Conn. At the time he could have been but a little boy, for he was born 1718 and his grandfather died in 1731 when Simon was but thirteen. His younger uncles, with whom he grew up, were about his own age. The records, carefully searched for the writer by the genealogist, Frank Farnsworth Starr, Esq., of that place, show that Simon, grandson of Charles (of Middletown) was living at Middletown in 1733 and also 1740-1 741. He must be carefully distinguished from his uncle Simon who appears as a resident of Reading Parish in the town of Fairfield. Into his grandfather's family Simon seems to have first introduced the French modification of the name, leading to such various spellings that some descendants lost the knowledge of their relationship to their 66 HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. first ancestors. It may be as well here as anywhere to deal with this question and to offer such apology as may be due for adopting in the tables a uniform spelling. It was impossible to learn in many cases, and would have been perplexing m all, to follow the varieties of spelling among members of the family sometimes related so closely as father and son or first cousins. With very few exceptions (in which the variation was designedly preserved) the spelling most common in the family has been adopted-" De Wolf,"— but not with any pur- pose of arbitrating in the fierce family dispute as to which is correct. Without going back to the European transitions— de Wolf-possibly Der Wolf, de Loup, etc., which has been so ably treated in the preface, it is sufficient to begin with the first American ancestor. The Salisburys state that the sig- nature of Balthasar to legal papers bearing the date of 1678 sent to Mrs. Salisbury by the late Charles J. Hoadley, the state librarian of Connecticut, is written " Baltasar de wolf" and that of his son, "Edward de wolfe." In the decree of the courts, 1656, to which we shall have occasion to refer later, it is given " Baltazar de Woolfe." There was probably no material change until Charles De Wolf went to the French island of Guadaloupe. His son Simon returned to Connecticut and brought with him the French pronunciation of the name, "D'olf," the French language of course having no "w." It is singular, however, that although both sons returned to Amer- ica, both espousing the cause against the English, and although the time had not arrived, as in the days of Jefferson when French customs and manners were sedulously imitated— this Frenchified form of the name became immediately popular in the grandfather's family, and soon efforts appear to express the sound in orthography. A complete collection of early autographs would doubtless show the steps of the transition. The writer sought to obtain such without success. The sig- nature of Abda, son of Charles' youngest son Joseph, hence of the same generation as Simon, found upon a paper dated 1782 among the records at Albany, is "Abda Dewolph," according to Mr. John M. Dolph his descendant, showing, as the latter argues, that the name De Wolf was still intended to be preserved. The following extracts from letters to the author from Mr. John M. Dolph of Port Jervis, N. Y., brother of the United States Sen- ator Dolph of Oregon, sheds still further light upon the change: HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. 67 " Members of nearly all the families of the sons of Charles of Middletown took the name 'Dolph' with various spellings. Matthew's children born in Bolton were some of them residents in Glastonbury — and these spelled the name D'Olph for more than one hundred years. There are Dolphs still living at Deep River, Conn., descended from that Charles Dolph who was killed in 1815 while leading in the capture of the British privateer Rover ^ and whose widow was pensioned by Congress in 1 8 16. The Pennsylvania Dolphs of whom Mrs. Salisbury speaks, were the descendants of Moses Dolph, who was a Revolutionary soldier, and who after the Revolution went to Mountain Meadows, Wayne Co., Pa. In 1795, he was the largest tax-payer in that part of the state. Between 1795 and 1800 he sold his property in Wayne Co. to the father of the historian Goodrich and moved to the site of the present city of Scranton. My grandfather Joseph Dolph, then living at St. Ann, went down there and made the first survey of that part of the valley. I have a letter from Edward Dolph of Scranton in which he says he remembers his grandfather Moses Dolph very well, and that he can remember his saying that the name was originally ' De Wolf ' and that some of the family retained the name ' De Wolf.' " Moses seems to have been married three times, first to a McCarty of Salisbury, so his grandson stated. " Goodrich says that Moses Dolph married the daughter of Jacob Stanton at Mountain Meadow in 1780 and of whom Moses bought his home at that place." "One of the oldest members of grand- father's family has told me that Joseph who was born 1767 and was over twenty years old when his father made the change (z. e. *De Wolf to 'Dolph') never was reconciled to it. The tradition in the family seems to be, and I find it in all branches, that they considered 'De Wolf the French name of which ' Dolph ' was an English equivalent." How curiously this expla- nation was the reverse of the facts, the change to " Dolph " being a French influence in a name that had been "De Wolf," or earlier "de Wolf," used in Connecticut for at least eighty years before the corruption to " Dewolph " and " Dolph. " The same writer in his essay read at the Dolph Reunion, Kinsman, Trumbull Co., Ohio, accounting for the spread of the abbrevi- ated form by the close companionship of Simon and his family with other children of his grandfather, says: 68 HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. "One of Edward's sons served in the same regiment as Abda. Moses Dolph, another cousin, ancestor of the Pennsyl- vania Dolphs, served in another Albany company. John Dolph, another cousin, was in a New York regiment of the line. Abda was associating all the time with his own cousins, who wrote the name 'Dolph,' nevertheless he continued to use his own name up to 1782, only changing the 'f to 'ph,' making the name 'DeWolph,' as he signed it in 1782. It is probable that the change was finally made when he went to Washington County, about 1790, for Ruth was married in 1791 as Ruth Dolph." That Simon's own family continued this altered form of the name is ascertained from quite indepen- dent sources. Simon's great granddaughter, still living at the age of ninety, says : "When I was young my name was Eliza Dolph, some wrote ' Deaolph,' my father did so. He examined, and said the true name was De Wolf." The writer remembers hearing his own father, James De Wolf Perry, say that when the Rev. Erastus De Wolf came to Bristol, he spelled his name "Dolph" until convinced by the former's grandfather, Hon. James De Wolf, of the true spelling. None of the Rhode Island family have ever thus changed the name, but undoubt- edly have, from their ancestor Mark Anthony, the second son of Charles of Guadaloupe, through the same French influence, inherited the practice still very usual among them of spelling the name with an apostrophe, "D'Wolf." It is probable from these facts that this latter custom began with their father when living in Guadaloupe : hence this spelling has been adopted in using his name in the title of this book. Hoping that this lengthy orthographical dissertation may be of some aid to future genealogists, and serve as an explanation for the varia- tions of spelling in this present work, let us return to the per- sonal history of these very genuine De Wolfs, even though they "juggled with so honorable a name," as my correspondent, Mr. O. J. De Wolf, complains. Simon De Wolf had three sons. A diligent search of origi- nal records, while revealing the married names of his daugh- ters, discovers no mention of his sons, Amasa and Mark Anthony, beyond the record of their birth. But we learned from Mr. Jonathan Farr, of Black Rock, Pa., that he had heard his grandfather in his old age, sing a song composed by the lat- ter's uncle, Mark Anthony. Mr. Farr's older sister says that Mark HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. 69 Anthony, son of Simon, was quite a composer of music and poetry. The family believe that he never married. Of Amasa, Simon's second son, nothing is known. Perhaps "he died in childhood." Of Charles, Simon's oldest son, whose numerous descendants are traced in the following pages, his venerable granddaughter writes : "I think his family were all born in Brooklyn, Conn. Grandfather was a hatter by trade. I do not think they were very rich, but industrious and honest, and had a reasonable share of sense." Later he moved to Mehoopany, Wyoming County, Pennsylvania, where he died in 1814. Here his younger children were brought up, attending the district schools, and were bright scholars, as Mrs. Stone had learned from her elders. In Wyoming and the neighboring counties the family chiefly made their home, where many of the descend- ants are still farmers. Amasa, the oldest, and Clement, the youngest of his sons, married at Mehoopany. Elisha,' the fourth son, married at Braintrim, Luzerne County, where the third son, Giles Meigs, also lived. From these prolific seed beds of the family its representatives have scattered all over the West to the Pacific coast. They are especially numerous in Ohio, Iowa and Illinois. Of these hardy pioneer settlers of Western lands, the venerable Mrs. Stone thus quaintly writes : "My life has been mostly on the frontiers. The De Wolfs, as far as I am acquainted with them, are honest, industrious,' self-reliant people. If one place does not suit them, they try another. They like to paddle their own canoe. We of the new States and Territories have the same Father to rule over us. We have many privations to endure ; still there are many pleasures in a new country while we are improving our homes. A contented mind is a continual feast." Many a reader will recognize family traits in these quaint but expressive words. By these migrations the counties of Northwestern Penn- sylvania were, however, by no means drained of their hardy stock. Among these thrifty farmers remaining there, descend- ants of Charles' oldest son are most numerous. Like his father, Amasa was a hatter as well as farmer. He used to tell his grandson, Mr. Jonathan Farr, in whose family he was liv- ing when he died, of himself and father making ten hats which they sent to France, and received for them one hundred dollars. So there seems a time when America set the fashion 70 HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. for hats in Paris ! Amasa also was, like so many of his fam- ily a school teacher and a teacher of music, and "almost to the last day of his life sang a song of his uncle Mark Anthony De Wolf's composing." Only one son survives him, Mr. Lafayette Erastus De Wolf, the Postmaster of Nimble, Penn- sylvania, but there are many of his descendants on farms m and about Wyoming County; the Farrs, Eastons, Taylors, besides the families of Mark Anthony, Amasa, Charles, and Lafayette De Wolf. The descendants of Simon De Wolf have not, however, been confined to agriculture. They have made their mark in all the learned professions and in business pursuits. Of the children of Amasa (Charles' oldest son), Mark Anthony had a son Dr. James De Wolf, assistant Surgeon in the U. S. Army, who bravely fell by the side of General Custer in the battle of Big Horn. The family of Charles' second son. Wyllis, was the branch brought into most intimate relations with the " Rhode Island De Wolfs." Wyllis ran a saw mill in Pennsylvania which was carried away by a freshet. Like others of his fam- ily he contended with the rough conditions of early settle- ments. His son James used to relate that his father, learning at dinner one day that a savage wolf was dangerously near his little daughter, siezed his gun; but on being told his dog " Watch " was with her, replied that she was safe, and coolly resumed his meal. " The details of the battle between the large dog and the wolf used to be of never failing interest to me in young days," writes his grandson, William Fletcher DeWolf, of Chicago. After the death of Wyllis, his widow and children resided for a while in Bristol, R. L, at the home of Hon. John De Wolf, who aided the boys in making a start in life. His gifts to the family continuing after they had settled in Fall River, Mass., are still remembered and gratefully written of by the younger generation. Wyllis* son Erastus became an Episcopal clergy- man, marrying a daughter of William Pearse of Bristol. The Pearse family was one of the oldest and best known of the town, having been prominent in St. Michael's Church for several generations. Mr. De Wolf spent the earlier years of his ministry in Rhode Island. He died bravely as a Chaplain in the Civil War. Wounded on the battlefield, he continued ministering to those more severely wounded GILES MEIGS UE WOLF (31), Braintrim, Luzernk Co., Pa. Born 1782; Died 1865. HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. 71 than himself, until he was carried exhausted from the field, soon after to die from the effects of his wounds. The Rev. Erastus De Wolf's oldest son, William Wyllis, was admitted to the Bar September, 1859, began practice as one of the firm of De Wolf & Pinckney, Dixon, Illinois, and in i860 was elected Judge of Lee County. Having served in the office two terms, Judge De Wolf sacrificed his lucrative profession, and offered himself for the sacred ministry. He entered Nashotah Theo- logical Seminary, graduating there in 1872, then becoming assistant to the Rev. Dr. Locke, at Grace Church, Chicago, and Chaplain of St. Luke's hospital. Called to St. John's Church, Decatur, Illinois, he was ordained in that church by Bishop Whitehouse on St. Mark's Day, 1872, and began a successful pastorate, beloved of all, from which he was called to the Presence of the great High Priest, July 20th, 1875. In his short life he had " purchased to himself a good degree " in two of the learned professions. The second and only surviving son of the Rev. Erastus and Hannah Pearse De Wolf, Rev. Erastus De Wolf, Jr., was until recently working in a mission field in Indian Territory. Of his faithfulness there his Bishop wrote the author in terms of high praise. He has recently accepted a call to St. Helena's Church, Boerne, Texas, where he lives with his widowed daughter. The ministry of the Episcopal Church includes a third grandson of William Wyllis De Wolf, son of his daughter Harriet, Rev. Hobart Cooke of the Diocese of Albany, having been transferred to that diocese from Connecticut in 1882, and now the Rector of All Saints' Church, Hudson, N. Y. There are a number of other grandchildren of Wyllis de Wolf (son of Charles) successful in various walks of life; his second son Wyllis* son, Mr. Joseph Brown De Wolf of Alliance, Ohio, the sons of his youngest son James, Mr. William Fletcher De Wolf already mentioned, and his younger brother Herbert, a jeweller in New Bedford, Mass. His daughter Sarah is survived by her daughter, Mrs. Fullerton, who, when Mrs. Coy, was an active parishioner of the writer's in his frst charge, St. Gabriel's Church, Providence. Giles Meigs De Wolf, the second son of Charles and grandson of Simon, lived at Brain- trim, Luzerne Co., Pa., until he moved to Cavendish, Vt., where some years earlier he had married Miss Anna Spalding. In less than five years, however, he returned to Braintrim where 72 HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. he later removed to the adjoining- Bradford Co., and became a prosperous farmer. That he was a man of more than ordinary ability is shown in that he taught his son higher branches of mathematics than were taught in the public schools {Maga- zine of Western History, Vol. XIII, No. 2; Article, "Calvin de Wolf.") Two of his children survive him, the oldest, Mrs. Eliza Stone, at a great age, and his youngest child, Clement, of Spring- dale, Ark. Calvin, the oldest of his sons to live beyond infancy, was born in Braintrim, Pa., in 18 15. Having spent his early days in that and neighboring portions of Pennsylvania, trained, as we have seen by his father in mathematics, and by a friend of his father in Latin, Calvin De Wolf started at the age of twenty- one, in 1836, to win an education by his industry at Grand River Institute, in Ashtabula Co., Ohio. Soon afterwards, finding his way into Illinois, he maintained himself by school teaching, first at Hadley then in Chicago. While teaching and engaging in various other occupations, he began the study of law and was admitted to the Bar in 1843. In 1854, he was elected Jus- tice of the Peace, at that time in the history of Chicago, a a highly important and responsible position, which he held until 1879. He held preliminary examinations on many cases of great importance. In 1858, he was indicted for aiding in the escape of a fugitive slave, but the case after appeal to the United States Court was dismissed in 1861 by the advice of Hon. E. L. Lamed, U. S. District Attorney. From his earliest boyhood he had abhorred slavery, and in 1839 was one of the founders of the Anti-slavery Society of Illinois of which he became secretary and also one of the editors of the anti-slavery organ, the Western Citizen^ in 1842. After retiring from office in 1879, ^^ continued to practice law in partnership with his son Wallace Leroy De Wolf, who is to-day a successful lawyer in Chicago. Judge De Wolf died honored and respected at the age of eighty-four, Nov. 28, 1899. Singularly enough — a Rhode Island cousin of Judge De Wolf, William Frederick De Wolf, came to Illinois only a few years earlier, 1836, and moved to Chicago six years later than the Judge in 1845. Two young men in a population of four thousand — they lived to be old men in a popoulation of two million. They saw it grow from its infancy, fled from its flames, and beheld it rise Phoenix-like from its ashes. They both took energetic part in its life and progress. During the ^^A^^^&0HlM. HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. 73 Civil War, William Frederick De Wolf sent forth his oldest son William to die in his country's service. After a career of dis- tinguished bravery, "bearing honorable scars gained in the conflict at Belmont," and "scarcely refreshed from the toils and sufferings of Fort Donelson," the reward for his services was a place in the army of the Potomac. As lieutenant of Gibson's Flying Artillery, U. S. 3d Regi- ment, he received wounds the day preceding the battle of Will- iamsburg, from which he died four weeks later in the twenty- first year of his age. " How gallantly he bore himself upon that fatal field," says an obituary notice now before the writer, "his sorrowful comrades will tell. Dismounted by a shot which, tearing one limb at the same time stretched his horse lifeless, he lost no time in seizing another steed which rushed riderless past him, and plunging again into the fight, continued, though badly wounded a second time, to encourage his men and main- tained his position until his battery was withdrawn from the field. This was the closing act of one who has been in no ordinary degree beloved and honored among us for his frank, loyal, affectionate temper, noble gallantry of sentiment, his pure and spotless life. His example, alas, is also his legacy." When Mr. William Frederick De Wolf cast his last vote for President Benjamin Harrison, the young Republicans of Chicago bore him in a chair on their shoulders to the polls. In 1896, he died at the age of eighty-five. Active in religious life as well as civil, he was one of the founders of St. James Episcopal Church, the mother parish of Chicago. To return to the line of Simon, while the oldest son of Giles Meigs De Wolf was identifying himself with the up-building of the metropolis of the West, in the neighboring state of Iowa, the next brother, James, was taking no less prominent part in the founding of the town of Vail, Iowa. Born during the time his parents resided in Cavendish, Vt., but spending his boy- hood in Pennsylvania, in early manhood after supporting him- self for two years as his brother had done at Grand River Institute, he pushed West, first into Illinois, then into Iowa, being the first permanent settler in Vail. A member of the State Legislature of Illinois, and holding throughout life other positions of trust, he practiced many years as a beloved and skilled physician, a lover of men and nature, but above all, a lover of the God of both, being a Presbyterian Elder and suc- 6 74 HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. cessively the founder and chief supporter of three churches. He and his brother Calvin met as much to their surprise as to their pleasure, as Commissioners to the General Assembly in New York, 1889. It was while engaged in religious work that Dr. De Wolf met with the accident of being thrown from his car- riage, which in 1 89 1 , caused his death, at the age of seventy-three. " He was not a rugged man, but careful of health, temperate and regular in habits, he was always on duty. Wherever he has lived he has enjoyed the confidence of his fellows in a peculiar degree," reads the obituary notice of his death. His daughter, still making her home with her widov/ed mother, and his son, Mr. John Horton De Wolf, in business in Chicago, have been among the most zealous to aid in gathering facts in regard to this line of the De Wolf family. Giles Meigs' next son, Charles, has been survived by many descendants, De Wolfs and Fes- sendens, in Minnesota and Nebraska. Giles Meigs' son Luther had no children; his son Clement married Miss Beecher and lives at Springdale, Ark. Of his daughters besides Mrs. Stone of whom mention has been made, who has no children, his daugh- ter Fanny married David Brink and has many descendants living in Nebraska. Betsey married John Barnes who has left among other descendants a son, Rev. George Wyllis Barnes, an especially zealous and faithful Baptist Minister, and Mary Ellen married Dr. George Northrup, whose son, C. D. North- rup is a prosperous stock raiser at Elkland, Pa., on his "Willow Brook Farm." Elisha De Wolf, the next in order of the sons of Charles (son of Simon), " had a liberal education, was a school teacher for many years and held a number of public offices," writes his grandson Mr. Loren G. De Wolf. One son of Elisha, Giles Newell, is still living at the age of eighty-five, residing with his son just mentioned, he like his father was a school teacher as well as a harness maker. Elisha's oldest son Lyman, was a lawyer of Chicago, while there are grandchildren of Elisha by his daughter, the late Mrs. Elizabeth De Wolf Keeler. The next two children of Charles De Wolf and Elizabeth Walbridge, Betsey and Charles, died unmarried. Mrs. Stone remembers her Uncle Charles, well. A fall in infancy had injured his brain, yet he had a vivid memory of past events and in old age was a lovable character, fond of his young relatives. His mother entering the gallery of the church which she at- JAMES DE WOLF, M D. (120), Vail. Iowa. Born 1818; Died i8qi HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. 75 tended, stepped aside to let a stranger pass, and fell from the gallery with her babe in her arms. It was only by a long and persistent search that the family of Clement, youngest son of Charles, was discovered. Even Mrs. Stone, the oldest surviv- ing descendant of Simon, could only write that her Uncle Clement had died about the same time that her youngest brother was born and named after him; that after marrying Nancy Kasson at Mehoopany, Pa., her Uncle Clement moved to Johnstown, O., as a teacher. At length by that casting of nets in all waters known to the genealogist, a grandson of Clement was discovered in Mr. Clark De Wolf of the editorial staff of the Columbus {O.) Evening Press, who in turn put the writer in communication with the editor of The Leader, Pom- eroy, O., and through the patience and industry of these two the writer is enabled not only to add a complete table of the descendants of Clement, but concludes this chapter with the biographical sketches of one of the most picturesque and inter- esting groups of the family. The sketch of Clement at least deserves to be given in Mr. Smith's own pithy language, though space requires the rest of his notes to be somewhat abbreviated. ** The date of the birth of Clement De Wolf cannot now be exactly ascertained. There is good reason, however, to believe that he was born in 1783. He died at Racine, Meigs, Co., Ohio, from typhoid fever, Sept. 21, 1828. His remains were interred in the village burial ground, but as no enduring monument was ever erected above his precious dust, the oldest inhabitants of the place cannot, at this late day, point out the precise spot. They know it was beneath the spreading branches of a stately sycamore, which has since been removed. Clement De Wolf first saw the light of day in Pennsylvania. Here he grew to manhood. Here he was educated, and here it was that he met and married Nancy Kasson, one of the noblest women that ever lived. Shortly after their marriage the young couple started west, their objective point being Johnstown, Licking Co., Ohio. Here, in the forest village and in the nearby settlements, the subject of our sketch put to good use the then liberal education he had received in the east. After a few years devoted to teaching in and around Johns- town, Clement De Wolf and his family made their way through the almost unbroken wilderness to Meigs County, taking up their abode in a log cabin on Shade River in Orange Township. 76 HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. Here he was again speedily employed at teaching, his greatest and best service being performed at Chester, then the county seat, only three or four miles away. It was at the county seat that he gained local fame, not only as a teacher of the common and higher branches of learn- ing, but as an expert accountant within the various offices of the courthouse. He was never elected to any of these offices, but he was called upon to straighten out many an intricate mathematical tangle. Not only did he gain distinction here as a well-informed man and scholar, but his reputation as a stump speaker and orator extended into the adjoining counties. Some of his speeches were reported for the public press and are said to have been fine examples of argumentative and rhetorical skill. He was a ready and fluent speaker and bore the reputation of having been one of the best of his day. From Chester he removed to Racine, a little village on the Ohio River only ten miles away. He taught here for a time, . and sustained the enviable record he had made at the places mentioned above. Just when he moved to Racine and how long he taught there, are not known; but he kept steadily at the work till death cut him down in the very prime of life, leaving a heart-broken widow and seven dependent children to engage in what proved to be for each a very arduous struggle of life. It is said that Clement's thirst for knowledge made him the creature of many embarrassing circumstances. Books were very scarce in those days, newspapers more so, well-read men rare. On one occasion Clement was sent by the good wife of the house in a great hurry to borrow a set of quilting frames. It was in the evening' time, and Clement was admonished to make haste, as Mrs. De Wolf was very anxious to get her quilt in that evening so as to be in readiness to begin work early in the morning. Clement promised, went straightway to the house of his well-informed neighbor, with whom he was soon engaged in discussing the current topics of the day. The good wife waited in impatience. Time wore on, midnight came, then two o'clock in the morning, and still no Clement. Finally Mrs. De Wolf, thinking that sickness or accident might have befallen her husband, donned bonnet and shawl and made her way through the woods to the neighbor's habitation. Opening the door she found her husband engaged in a spirited HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. 77 conversation, his mission forgotten and the advanced hour of the night having never entered his mind. This example serves to illustrate a multitude of similar ones with which he was embarrassed at various times in his life. As a thinker and a scholar, he was one of the most advanced of his day. He was a good citizen, an honorable upright man. He transmitted to his children the sterling qualities of his manhood, and by them his virtues have been well perpetuated to the present day. His was a noble strain. May its luster remain undimmed through all the ages yet to come! Mrs. Nancy Kasson De Wolf, who had at the age of nine- teen become the wife of Clement De Wolf, after the death of her husband, consented to become housekeeper for Moses Clark, a most estimable gentleman who had but recently lost his wife by death, near Johnstown, in Licking County. A little wagon, into which were loaded the mother, the three youngest children — Calvin, Samuel and Betsey, and a few necessary belongings, was soon on its way over the hundred miles through an almost unbroken forest, the wagon being drawn by a poor three-year-old colt, driven by the second son, Daniel. Mrs. De Wolf and her three children found at Moses Clark's a most comfortable home. Mr. Clark was one of Nature's noblemen. He owned a large and highly productive farm, and was in every way a good provider. Mrs. De Wolf remained with Mr. Clark till his death, for nineteen years having enjoyed his kindly hospitality. Then, with her daughter Betsey, she returned to Meigs County, and became mistress of a home of her own at Syracuse on the Ohio river. Here, within a stone's throw of her two sons. Captains Sam and Dan, she lived in the enjoyment of peace and plenty till she sank into the dreamless sleep of death, April 6, 1870. ' Aunt Nancy ' was one of the grandly good pioneer mothers. She was a woman of strong mind, warmly sympa- thetic heart, the soul of industry, and did her full part in pav- ing the way for a higher civilization. As woman, wife and mother she never fell short of her full measure of duty. She died without guile, and her good works do follow her." Was there a strain of Corsair blood in the remote ancestry of the De Wolfs, or descent from some famous old Viking of 78 HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. the North that asserted itself in successive generations? This family, far in the interior, far from the tempestuous seas that their Eastern cousins loved to plough and conquer, sought adventures upon the quieter but no less treacherous waters of the Ohio river, and found their experience hardly less thrill- ing. Articles of the Ponieroy Leader are before the writer ; one entitled " Rough and Tumble of River Life," and the other '•A Venerable River Captain," sketching respectively the lives of "Captain Dan" and "Captain Sam," as the brothers were familiarly known ; the second and youngest sons of Clement De Wolf. Captain Dan made his debut as a steamboat man upon the Condor No.j. Next he became at once captain and pilot of the Crescent. This steamer was captured by Grant to tow a gunboat up the Cumberland to Fort Donelson. On his arrival at the fort he was made pilot of the Ohio, dispatched on some secret and important mission to Cincinnati. On his release and return to the command of the Crescent, he was ordered up the Cumberland with Union forces. After employ- ment on several steamers, he and his brother Sam entered the company which purchased the Raven, as ill-fated as the "grim, ungainly, ghastly, gaunt and ominous bird of yore." Sam De Wolf, in the meantime, after a short experience in running a sawmill in 1846, on Old Tom Creek, in Lebanon Township, with his brother Calvin, had spent five or six years in learning the river in "flat-boating;" then he became a pilot, and entered the "ill-starred Ohio River Transportation Company." He now was placed in command of the Raven, his nephew Dor at the wheel. "The last trip of the Raven was commenced with ominous forebodings. After picking up her tow she proceeded to Antiquity for coal, partially filled with water, came near sinking, and was only saved by cutting holes through the deck." At the mouth of the Big Kanawha, a big coal lamp exploded, and the vessel narrowly escaped burning. Four miles above Plymouth the boat encountered a terrific wind storm and came near sinking. A little above Cincinnati, April 15, 1870, about midnight Captain Sam was informed the boilers were leaking, and while examining them the boilers exploded. He was blown into the fuel-boat, almost buried beneath the debris, his right arm broken, and was badly burned. Pilot Dan De Wolf and engineer Martin were soon at work to liberate the captain. As the captain came to his HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. 79 senses and realized the situation, he said : " Do not mind me, take care of yourself." He was saved just in time as the Rave^t sank ; but the mate, John Calvin De Wolf, son of Captain Dan, familiarly known as "Tap," was never more heard of. The Sa7n Roberts^ another of the company's boats blew up at Guyon, on Aug. 7, 1874, when Captain Dan who commanded her was badly hurt about the back, three of her crew were killed and seven wounded. Still another of the company's boats, the Petrel, Captain Sam in command and Dan De Wolf at the wheel "will long be remembered for its having filled with water and turning over. The boat floated along, drift- ing as far as Ceredo and continued to roll from side to side, the crew clambering about for the highest part to keep from drowning until they were taken ashore in a skiff. As a climax to all their disasters came the collapse of the company, through the rascality of its smooth-tongued "promoter" and comfort- able fortunes which the brothers, starting as poor boys, had by hard toil laid by, were swept away in a day. Captain Dan still retained possession of a comfortable brick residence at the lower end of Syracuse, Ohio; but this home, costing probably ten or twelve thousand dollars, took fire one day and burned to the ground, and not one cent of insurance! This left the old Captain homeless; but his brother Sam surrendered to him his own snug quarters nearby and moved to Racine. In this home, supplied by his brother's generosity, the old Captain passed away at the age of eighty, "an honest, upright citizen," says the notice of his death, "an obliging neighbor, a fast friend, a man of solid and irreproachable character." "Captain Dan had many thrillmg and dangerous experi- ences due to fog, storm, darkness and wind ; but he went through it all without a visible sign of emotion or excitement. His brother Sam says he was the coolest, the most deliberate and the best flat-boat pilot he ever saw. Of Captain Sam, The Pomery Leader says: "His has been an honorable upright life. He has pronounced ideas of right and wrong, and what he undertakes he does with his whole soul and will. He has always been liberal to the poor and has gladdened thousands of hearts by word and deed. As a citizen, a neighbor and a friend, he is of the best, and the world has been made happier and better by his having lived in it." That these sterling qualities were family traits appear from 8o HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. a notice of the death of the Captain's sister Lydia, Mrs. Smith, who lived to be nearly eighty years of age. " Possessed of a strong physical organism, tireless energy, dauntless courage and indomitable will, she was w'ell equipped by nature to endure the toils, privations and hardships of pioneer life. The mere announcement that a neighbor languished on a bed of pain was to her a signal call. Through blinding storm, wither- ing heat, piercing cold, through the howling wind-storm of night, when falling limbs from swaying forest trees made courageous men hesitate and grow faint at heart, this fearless mother, guided by only the flickering and uncertain rays of a lantern, found her way at all hours of the night to the sick and suffering of many a humble cabin. She thought not of herself: she lived for others. It was her ambition to carry comfort and scatter sunshine wherever she went." Upon the death of Clement De Wolf the care of the family devolved upon the eldest son, John, then a lad of fifteen. Of him Mr. Smith writes : "With stout heart and willing hands this faithful son assumed his new-found responsibility. Opportunities were few and wages low, but this noble boy — father at once and son, labored hard wherever employment could be had, all his mea- gre earnings going to the support of his widowed mother and the family. His self-sacrificing efforts were continued until the mother was persuaded to become housekeeper for Moses Clark, of Licking County, Ohio, whose wife had taken sick and died. John remained industriously at work in Meigs County, saved his wages, and was soon able to buy a small farm in Lebanon Township. Shortly afterwards he married Harriet Smith, of Athens County, and went to housekeeping. Later he sold his little Meigs County farm, and bought another near Coolville, in Athens County, on which he quietly ended his days. When his brothers, Sam and Dan, bought their first steam- boat, the Hunter, Sam did not forget his brother John's devoted efforts for their mother and her family ; so John was made watchman, a lucrative position which he filled most perfectly on one or the other of the De Wolf steamboats as long as he wanted it. Of John De Wolf it may truly be said that never did he do a dishonorable deed. His word was his bond. His great big HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. 8i sympathetic heart was as tender as a child's. As a boy, as a man, he was a credit to himself, an unsullied honor to his illus- trious line. Forever sweet will be the memory of Uncle John ! " Calvin, the third son, who on the 29th of Nov., 1848, was married to Eliza Jane Seeley by Henry Lawrence, Justice of the Peace, had several children, five of whom are living, the eldest of whom, Clark, has already been mentioned as the first of his family discovered by the writer. Like most men of his time, Calvin had a limited education. But being possessed of a bright mind, he read law and was elected four terms as Justice of the Peace of Lebanon Town- ship. Though never admitted to the bar, he was a noted petti- fogger, and usually put to rout the best attorneys that were ever pitted against him. Lack of opportunity alone prevented him from winning marked distinction in the legal profession. He was five times elected Assessor of his township, and was, in many ways, one of the foremost men of his county. He was a good neighbor, a true friend, and indulgent father. He died Feb. 26, 1884. Of the daughters, Betsey, the twin sister of Captain Sam, is the only child still living, unmarried, enjoying " fair health and the exercise of all her faculties, a good woman — at the age of seventy-seven." Polly who became Mrs. George Webster, had several children, two of whom are now living, Don D. of Port- land, O., and Mrs. Louise Mooney of Middleport, O. Of Mrs. Smith, the mother of our correspondent, some account has been already given. So ends the record of the elder branch of the family of Charles De Wolf of Guadaloupe, the descendants of his son Simon. If few attained the great wealth that distinguished some of their Rhode Island cousins, their history bears witness to the same industry and determination that has been characteristic of most of the race, — qualities which added to native ability and favorable circumstances in a wider field have conspired to make them leaders of men. CHAPTER III. ORIGIN OF THE AMERICAN DE WOLFS, THE NOVA SCOTIA DE WOLFS AND OTHER BRANCHES OF THE FAMILY NOT DESCENDED FROM CHARLES OF GUADALOUPE. TNDUSTRIOUSLY, but thus far unsuccessfully, have the -■- family genealogists sought the link to connect the De Wolfs of America with the noble family of that name, for cen- turies prominent in many countries of Europe. It will appear from the following tables sufficiently evident that all the lines which form the subject of this book descend from Balthasar and Alice De Wolf, first appearing in authentic records about 1665. To the labors of Mrs. Salisbury the family owes the establishment of the relationship of Charles De Wolf of Guadaloupe to his American ancestors and of the relationship existing between the descendants of Simon and Mark Anthony. But however obscure to recent generations had these facts become, it will be seen from the intercourse and correspondence of the Hon. Ben- jamin De Wolf of Windsor, Nova Scotia, with the Hon. James De Wolf of Bristol, R. I., from relations of Simon's grandsons and their Rhode Island cousins, and other facts related in these pages, that the relationships of the several lines and their start- ing point at Lyme, Conn., were well known to our great-grand- fathers. "Only three others of the name of De Wolf," says the noble work of Professor and Mrs. Edward Salisbury, "have been discovered as living in America as early or earlier than Balthasar De Wolf— all three living in New Amsterdam: the first, Abel De Wolf, receiving a license for mining in the Catskill Mountains in 1659, Abraham De Wolf of whom nothing is known further than that he was in New Amsterdam in 166 1, and thirdly. Dirk De Wolf, who obtained exclusive priv- ilege for making salt in New Netherlands in 1661. Abel De Wolf seems to have been associated with Dirk, but the three seem to have returned to Holland, leaving no descendants in 84 HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. this country. No relationship or association between them and Balthasar has been discovered." But this Balthasar, this trunk from which the multi-branched family tree has grown, till it penetrates with its vigorous and persistent growth the his- tory of every land— who was he ? Whence came he ? Who were his'ancestors? The answers to these questions have been sought in vain. Curious have been the conjectures. He has been made a French Huguenot fleeing from persecution— a Russian— a Protestant refugee from Holland— even a Jew. It were, per- haps, easiest to pronounce with Mrs. Salisbury (in a recent letter) the pretentions of the Rhode Island De Wolf to noble Euro- pean lineage as groundless. But this " short and easy method " does not seem altogether scientific. Undoubtedly no positive proof oi\i\^ relationship to the well-known European family has ever been adduced. But strong circumstantial and cum- ulative evidence is not lacking, and it must be remembered that with all the theories of Balthasar's descent— Russian, French, Dutch and Jewish— no one has ventured to suggest he was of the American Aborigines, so European descent of some kind he must have had. Now the origin of the name de Wolf as given to the nobleman, Louis de Saint Etienne, is a matter of historical record— the noble families of Europe of the name all trace by authentic records descent from this stock. There is no reason to suppose that anyone has ventured to asssume the name without the right to it. The interesting studies of Dr. J. R. De Wolf and others, noting the frequent use of names of many animals, including the wolf, for surnames, as in the Guelphs, ingenious and interesting as they are, seem to have no special bearing upon this particular question. The very definite form De Wolf, certainly in this country is quite distinct from the much more common name, Wolf or Wolff— which, as Dr. De Wolf points out, is frequently Jewish. In a country whose earlier settlers were many of them sons of titled families in search of adventure, seeking to retrieve ruined fortunes, or fleeing from political or religious persecu- tion, is it not more probable that one of the well-known Euro- pean family should have found his way to America, than that the name should have been self-assumed or derived from some utterly unknown source and suddenly have "grown" like Topsy ? This argument from probability would seem greatly strengthened by the interesting discovery of the writer of our HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. 85 preface that the Livonian De Wolfs have a traditon of one of their family leaving for America about the same period that Balthasar appears in Connecticut. Even so careful and unpreju- diced a witness as Mrs. Salisbury finds something inexplicable in the family which causes it at once to make alliances with the most influential and exclusive families of the new world. The resemblance in feature and character of the De Wolfs of Europe to those in America has been noticed by more than one. Mr. Frank E. De Wolf at a distinguished assembly in Europe, pointed out to his wife among the guests, a gentleman of whom he had absolutely no knowledge, remarking the striking resemblance in feature and bearing to one of his family in Rhode Island. A little later on being presented to him, he learned that he was a Count De Wolf, a prominent courtier. These facts together with the persistent tradition in the De Wolf family of the origin of their name, of their relation to European families of the same name, and of the origin of the crest or coat-of-arms which, with slight variations, appear in connection with all the branches of the family in Europe, certainly make the identity of the American with the European family more than probable. If Balthasar fled to the wilderness of America for any religious, political or family reason, he may have had cause to conceal his national origin or his rank beneath a veil of mystery so dense that his descendants have been unable to lift it, as did, according to his biographers, that Dr. Francis Le Baron, with whose descendants the De Wolfs were in later years to be bound by marriage. All this is at least of genealogical and antiquarian interest, however much we may feel that it matters little in a Repub- lican land what titles of nobility decorated the names of our ancestors. But to those who accept recent theories advanced by high authorities as to heredity, such questions do not lack interest when ancient titles are founded on deeds of valor. Even a cursory examination of the De Wolf portraits in these pages will reveal a strong family likeness in even quite remote lines. The fact indicates family characteristics which appear in so many records of their lives. To learn that these charac- teristics may be traced back still further through many centu- ries cannot be without interest, and should not be without inspiration to live lives worthy of our forebears. The chief gain in tracing our descent from knights of old and heroes of 86 HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. the past, should be a certain noblesse oblige — a determination that our lives shall not lower the standard that our race hath raised. "A people," says Lord Macauley, "which takes no pride in the noble achievements of remote ancestors, will never achieve anything worthy to be remembered with pride by remote descendants." Of Balthasar the first trace is in the records of "A Perticu- lar Court in Hartford," March 5th, 1656, when among the "names of those p''sented for smoaking in the streets contra to the law," appears the name of "Baltazer de Woolfe." For this he was fined. "Tradition has it," says Mr. John M. Dolph, "that he paid his fine, lighted his pipe and went out." This introduction of their first known ancestor on the stage of American life, will be recognized with a smile by many a De Wolf reader as sufficiently characteristic of a race not always submissive to restraints which did not approve them- selves to their own convictions, yet bearing the consequences of their own independence or even recklessness with an easy good-natured philosophy. There may be a hint, too, of that lack of sympathy with Puritan restrictions, natural to a for- eigner of aristocratic birth, such as the author of the " Name- less Nobleman" so well portrays in Dr. Le Baron's "Treaty Offensive and Defensive," with Major Bradford and his fellow selectmen. The second mention connects him with the superstitions of the day, for September 5th, 1661, Nicholas and Margaret Jen- nings of "Sea Brook" are indicted "for not haveing the feare of God before their eyes," "having entertained familiarity with Satan, the great enemy of God and mankind, and by his help done works above the course of nature, ye loss of y*^ lives of severall p'sons, in p'ticuler ye wife of Reynolds Marvin wi'*" ye child of Baalshar de Wolf wi'^ other soceries; " the child is spoken of as "bewitched to death." Balthasar de Wolf, in Savage's "Genealogical Dictionary," is mentioned (first) in Wethersfield, Conn., 1664. In 1668 he and his three sons; Edward, Simon and Stephen, are men- tioned in the records of Lyme as members of the train-band. He probably therefore lived from 1661 (or earlier) in East Saybrooke, which in 1664-5 was set oif as the separate town of Lyme. "The fact that Stephen was in the militia," says Mr. J. M. Dolph, "shows that he was at that time at least sixteen THE GRAVE OF EDWARD DE WOLF, Oldest Son of Balthasak de Wolf, AT Lyme, Conn. HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. 87 years old." " So we may properly suppose that Balthasar was about forty-eight, and his son, as we know by the dates on his tombstone still existing at Lyme, was twenty-two, and Simon and Stephen between sixteen and twenty." "That he was English," adds the same writer, "appears from his penman- ship, which is clearly that used by educated Englishmen, and from the family names which are English." On the other hand, the unusual name "Balthasar" does not sound English even in that day of strange names. The author does not remember meeting it excepting as recently prominent in the Pan Ameri- can Convention. In that case, it is probably of Spanish origin. The attempts of the court to record his name, perhaps from his own pronunciation of it ; " Baltazar de Woolfe " and " Baal- shar de Wolf," point to at least broken English. While the early De Wolfs do not seem to have been large landed proprietors, notices of sales and bequests show they possessed a good landed estate. Edward, the eldest son of Balthazar, the ancestor of the branches of the family traced in this work, was a man of prop- erty, like his father living in Lyme, and highly respected. He was not only a carpenter, but a millwright, the builder and operator of two saw-mills, and a grist-mill. "That his high standing, integrity and good judgment," says Mr. Dolph, were well-known, is proven by the fact that in 1682, after long delays and difficulties between the people of New London and their contractors for building their new church, Edward de Wolf, of Lyme, and John Frinck, of Stonington, were called upon to go to New London and arbitrate between the builders and the people. It is recorded in the Lyme record that in May, 1686, the town of Lyme laid out to Edward De Wolf twenty-two acres of land on account of his work for the town in the matter of the new meeting house. In 1688, Edward settled upon the Eight Mile River, and in the same year liberty was granted to him to build a grist-mill. He subsequently built a second saw-mill near his home on the Eight Mile River. He lived near one of his mill sites, near the village of Lays- ville." "There was some condition or quality, either in education, character, family, respect, ability, personal attrac- tions or other 'unknown quantity' which enabled them to marry into some of the best families in Lyme and the neighboring towns." (Salisbury work). Such families were 88 HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. the Lees ; Lieutenant Thomas Lee marrying Mary, daughter of Balthazar de Wolf ; the Griswolds, Matthew Griswold, who became the second husband of Mary, being "the largest land- owner and most leading man in Lyme;" the Douglas family of New London ; the Lays, Mathers, Calkins, Watermans, etc. "As the tree is known by its fruit, we are left to draw our chief inferences in regard to the traits of mind and character of Balthazar De Wolf and his children from what we can learn of their descendants. Never rich, the divisions and sub- divisions of their lands among successive generations, would soon have made them poor. But it does not appear that any of them waited for that fate. Very few graves of the earlier generations can be found, and nearly all their descendants, in all the generations, went away from Lyme. There must have been an early energy and ambition in the family which carried them away from their birthplace, in search of adventure or to better their fortunes. In Lyme, vessels were built which went out to many mar- kets, chiefly to the West Indies, and brought back cargoes to its wharves. Probably by these means Charles De Wolf made his 'venture' to the island of Guadaloupe, where he finally married, and prospering, became the founder of the wealthy and distinquished Rhode Island family of De Wolf." {Family Histories, by Prof, and Mrs. Salisbury. Vol. II, p. 135). The love of the sea and West Indian trade, which made the De Wolfs the great merchants of Bristol, R. I., seem therefore to have been inherited tastes and abilities from earlier ances- tors. The same characteristics, whether personal or physical, seem to be strongly marked in all the race. The late Dr. J. Ratchford De Wolf, of Halifax, in his contri- bution to the Salisbury Family Histories, says: "The American De Wolfs, whether of New England or Canada, are noted for their habits of enterprise and industry, their love of change and adventure, their freedom from ostentation, their domestic virtues and their numerous progeny ; as also for their healthi- ness, and the frequent instances of longevity among them." Of the family of Mark Anthony De Wolf, the common ancestor of the Bristol De Wolfs, the late Dr. John De Wolf, of Provi- dence, R. I., also writes for the above volumes : " His wife is said to have been a woman of noble character. Most of the children, eight sons and five daughters, grew to be men and HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. 89 women, and as a rule were distinguished for the elegance of their manners and great beauty of person. "Among the members of the family who were thus," as Mrs. Salisbury writes, "carried away from their birthplace in search of adventure or to better their fortunes," were three cousins, Nathan, Simeon and Jehiel De Wolf, who followed twelve months later, the exodus of about two hundred emi- grants who in 1760 went from Connecticut to repeople Acadia; to settle in Nova Scotia, whence the French peasants had gone forth in exile. In "the old Acadian country where all were equal and all were brothers and sisters," where "The murmuring pines and the hemlocks, Bearded with moss, and in garments green, indistinct in the twilight, Stand like Druids of eld, with voices sad and prophetic." Three cousins settled, and became progenitors of a numer- ous and influential branch of the De Wolf family. Of this fill- ing of the places left vacant by Evangeline and her people by the sturdy New Englanders, the Rev. Arthur H. Wentworth Eaton, a descendant of Jehiel De Wolf, the emigrant to Nova Scotia, has written in touching words in one of the many Acadian ballads and poems of which he is the author. Five years in desolation the Acadian land had lain, Five golden harvest moons had wooed the fallow fields in vain. Five times the winter snows caressed and summer sunsets smiled On lonely clumps of willows, and fruit trees growing wild. But the simple Norman peasant-folk shall till the land no more, For the vessels from Connecticut have anchored by the shore, And many a sturdy Puritan, his mind with Scripture stored, Rejoices he has found at last, "the garden of the Lord." There are families from Tolland, from Killingworth and Lyme, Gentle mothers, tender maidens and strong men in their prime. There are lovers who have plighted their vows in Coventry, And merry children dancing o'er the vessels' decks in glee. They come as Puritans, but who shall say their hearts are blind To the subtle charms of nature, and the love of human-kind ? 90 HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. The blue laws of Connecticut have shaped their thought, 'tis true, But human laws can never wholly Heaven's work undo. And where the Acadian village stood, its roofs o'ergrown with moss. And the simple wooden chapel, with its altar and its cross ; And where the forge of Basil sent its sparks toward the sky, The lonely thistle blossomed, and the fare weed grew high. The broken dykes have been rebuilt, a century and more, The cornfields stretch their furrows from Canard to Beau Sejour; Five generations have been reared beside the fair Grand Pre, Since the vessels from Connecticut came sailing up the Bay, And now across the meadows, while the farmers reap and sow. The engine shrieks its discord to the hills of Gaspereau ; And ever onward to the sea the restless Fundy tide Bears playful pleasure yachts and busy trade ships, side by side. And the Puritan has yielded to the softening touch of time. Like him who still content remained in Killingworth and Lyme; And graceful homes of prosperous men make all the landscape fair. And mellow creeds and ways of life are rooted everywhere. The writer first knew of the Nova Scotia De Wolfs in early youth, meeting one of them with his own father, James De Wolf Perry, at the Philadelphia Centennial Exposition of 1876. The writer's father remembered his grandfather. Captain James De Wolf, telling him of cousins of the name living in Canada. Seeing the name De Wolf in the Canadian concession at the Exposition in 1876, where was exhibited a very beautiful line of carriages and other vehicles, he proposed introducing himself and the writer to the fine looking gentleman who was in charge. He proved to be Mr. John M. De Wolf, of Halifax, N. S., who is still living, and whose son, Mr. Frederick T. De Wolf, now carries on the business of carriage manufacture. Mr. De Wolf told Mr. Perry that he too had known of relation- ship with " De Wolf in the States." Neither of them, however, could furnish more definite knowledge of the connection. It was only after his father's death that the writer obtained from an old letter, preserved among the papers of his great-grand- father, James De Wolf, a clue to their relationship. This letter was written to James De Wolf by Mr. Benjamin De Wolf, of Windsor, Nova Scotia, after his return from a visit to Bristol. HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. 91 This visit must have been mutually enjoyable, as both men were influential legislators each in his own country, both men of intelligence, enterprise and wealth. The letter is given here as an agreeable and interesting link between the two branches of the family : Windsor, 30th Nov., 1818. "Cousin De Wolf; My Dear Sir: — According to my promise I take the liberty to acquaint you with myself and Daughter's safe arrival at Halifax, In Fifty-eight hours from Boston, where I met many of my Particular friends and relations, all of whom were overjoyed to see us safe returned. Be assured, my dear sir, the very Polite attention myself and Daughter received while under your Hospitable Roof at Bristol, and with your good Family at New York, has made a deep and lasting impression of Gratitude in our Hearts. I shall at all times esteem it a great mark of Friendship to hear from you and your good Family, all of whom have my Best wishes for their welfare. Pray offer my kind regards to your Brother Charles and Family. Likewise to your Brother William and family and to all your other brothers and relatives and to say to them I shall ever feel grateful for their kind civility to myself and Daughter while at Bristol. The day I left New York I reached at New Haven where I met with a great number of members of the House of assembly, some of whom 1 made a very Particular Inquiry for the name of the De Wolfs at Lyme and elsewhere. But could not obtain any useful information that any of the old family of the De Wolfs were alive. Therefore I took a carriage at New Haven and returned by the way of Hartford to Boston where I met with our worthy Friends, George De Wolf, Esq., and Mrs. Charles De Wolf who we were much gratified to see. I hope ere long to have the Pleasure to see you and some of your Connections in Nova Scotia. In the meantime my self & Daughter unite with our affectionate Regards for your self, Mrs. De Wolf, your dear children at Bristol and at New York, all of whom I Pray God to Bless. Truly Yours, Benjm. De Wolf." Concerning this visit, Dr. James Ratchford De Wolf writes of the daughter of the writer referred to in the above letter: "In all probability it was his youngest daughter Isabella Amelia, who in 1821 married Capt. McKay, a British officer. When, in 1836-8, I was a student at Windsor, she was a widow. She gave me a gold seal (large and plain) at parting which I still possess. Her nephew, Dr. B. De Wolf Fraser, who was very deaf, was struck by a Railway train and killed several years ago. I knew him intimately." Mrs. Middleton, the granddaughter of Hon. William De Wolf of Bristol, mentioned 92 HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. in the above letter, remembers many anecdotes told by her grandfather of Jehial De Wolf, Jr. Many incidents of the visit of Hon. Benjamin De Wolf of Connecticut and of cousins, one of whom became later Mrs. Bartlett of New York (Appendix A), are remembered by Mrs. Middleton. Benjamin De Wolf, whose letter has been given, was the founder of the Windsor branch of the family. He was one of the most successful men of Hants Co., Nova Scotia, owned a tract of about eight thousand acres of land, and with one exception, was the highest taxpayer in Windsor. He was for many years High Sheriff of Hants Co., Member of Parliament 1785-9, and in the latter year appointed Justice of the Peace. He married the daughter of Dr. Ephraim Otis. His wife's sister Susannah was the wife of William Haliburton of Windsor, the father of Judge William Hay Otis Haliburton. Benjamin De Wolf, not believing in slavery, emancipated all his slaves who, however, chose to remain in his service. By the emigration from Connecticut was settled the town- ship of Horton, N. S. "One of the most attractive spots in Horton, near the mouth of the Cornwallis River," says an article in the Acadian Orchardist, May 15, 1900, by Dr. James R. De Wolf, " was the home of the most prominent members of the new community and was known as Mud Creek — the centre of the village was 'Mud Bridge.' In 1829, it is learned from the same article, this name having become highly obnoxious to the inhabitants, two young ladies, granddaughters of Judge Elisha De Wolf, with the aid of their uncle, postmaster of the place, succeeded in having the name changed to Wolfville. The name was accepted as appropriate from the former influ- ence of the De Wolfs as well as the number still residing there. Judge De Wolf had entertained in his mansion, " Kent Lodge," celebrated for its unbounded hospitality. His Royal Highness the Duke of Kent, when on his way from Halifax to Annapolis. At the time of its re-christening resided there: Daniel De Wolf, M. P., Andrew Dwight De Wolf, Joseph De Wolf, with his hat factory where St. John's Directory now stands, Hon. Thomas A. S. De Wolf, M. P. and his elder brother William, Elisha De Wolf, Jr., M. P., Charles, Oliver, Robert, John Starr and Thomas L. De Wolf. To the author of above article, Dr. James Ratchford De Wolf, the writer is indebted for a great portion of valuable JAMES RATCHFORD DE WOLF, M. D., Edin. Halifax, Nova Scotia. Born Nov. iq, 1818; Died 1901. Appendix A. Branch II, (71). HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. 93 information and for such an amount of personal sympathy and encouragement in his work, that although the acquaintance was only by letter, it made the news of his recent death at the ripe age of eighty-two, come with a sense of deep personal loss and sorrow. He was the most indefatigable genealogist of the De Wolf family. He also furnished many valuable contribu- tions to the great work of Professor and Mrs. Salisbury. " For the past fifty years," he writes, "I have been a student of our family history, and I yield to no one in the deep interest I take in the name and in all that is connected with its origin and dissemination. I have collected and arranged some five hun- dred or more names of the De Wolfs of Nova Scotia and as many more of affiliated families connected with ours by mar- riage. I have it carefully indexed." It should be a matter of deep regret that Dr. De Wolf did not find sufficient encourage- ment to warrant his publishing this valuable collection dur- ing his life time, but it is to be hoped that the work, now possessed by his daughter, Mrs. Harrington, will yet be put in such form as to be a permanent monument to the good doctor's industry and learning. Dr. James Ratchford De Wolf was the grandson of Judge Elisha and the great-grandson of Nathan De Wolf, one of the three emigrants to Nova Scotia. It was to Mr. Frederick T. De Wolf, son of John M. De Wolf, whom Mr. James De Wolf Perry met at the Philadelphia Centennial, that the writer ow^ed his introduction to Dr. De Wolf. Dr. De Wolf was the son of Hon. T. A. S. De Wolf of Lord Falkland's administration. He was graduated at Edinburg University, was a member of the Medical Society of Paris, and of the Royal College of Surgeons, Edinburg. In 1857, Dr. De Wolf became Superintendent of the Halifax Hospital for the Insane. He revolutionized the whole system he found there. "The whole treatment instituted by Dr. De Wolf was embraced in a single idea — humanity, the law of kindness, the desire to relieve from suffering." A notice of his death says of Dr. De Wolf: "His amiability of character, his solicitude for the wel- fare of those who came within the circle of his acquaintance — in a word, his sterling attributes of heart and hand are known of all men." The youngest son of Hon. T. A. S. De Wolf was the late Charles Frederic De Wolf, whose portrait appears in our pages. 94 HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. He was as prominent in business circles as his older brother in the medical profession. Becoming a partner with his father in the well-known commission and shipping firm, T. A. S. De Wolf & Son, Agents for the Anchor Line, he became after his father's death the sole partner. He was prominent, says a notice of his death, m all projects for the prosperity of Halifax. " Charles De Wolf was a frank, manly, upright man, esteemed and respected by all who knew him." The De Wolfs in Canada, as will be seen in the tables, have become allied with families of greatest prominence in state and church. They are also well represented in England. Referr- ing to a notice sent the writer of the death of James Ratchford De Wolf of Brunswick St., Liverpool — ship-owner, and of Sal- acres, Upton near Birkenhead (v. Tables 53), Dr. De Wolf writes: "He was my first cousin and namesake, as well as school-fellow. Another James De Wolf boarded in the same house with us in 1828-30. There are several of our name in Liverpool — two in London and one in Wales — all descendants of our Nova Scotia family. One is a clergyman, Rev. Robert B. De Wolf, a graduate of Oxford, the others are engaged in business. These are all I believe who bear our name in Eng- land." Some of the Nova Scotia family have returned to the United States from which their forefathers emigrated. Among such descendants is found the writer's friend and correspondent, Rev. Arthur Wentworth Hamilton Eaton of New York City — a great-great-grandson of Jehiel De Wolf, the youngest of the three emigrants to Nova Scotia in 1761. To Mr. Eaton we are indebted for much aid and the very great assistance of the loan of the volume of the Salisbury works, containing the notes and tables of the De Wolf family. Of the Nova Scotia De Wolfs, Mr. John Starr De Wolf went to Liverpool, England; somewhat later, in 1850 was joined by his brother, James Ratchford De Wolf. The son of the latter is the Rev. Robert De Wolf, a church of England clergyman. Of the children of John Starr De Wolf, Mr. George De Wolf has been the first, m 1881, to return to Canada, where at Vancouver, B. C, he is Warden of his Parish Church and a member of the Executive Committee of the Diocese of Westminister. His daughter. Miss Elsie De Wolf bids fair, after completing mus- ical studies in Germany, to become distinguished as a violinist. HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. 95 The Canadian branch of the family has also, like the Rhode Island branch, a talented representative on the stage — another and well-known Miss Elsie de Wolf, a daughter of the late Dr. Stephen de Wolf, who came from Nova Scotia to New York, where for many years he was a successful and most popular practitioner. Many have been the inquiries of De Wolfs from all parts of the country as to their early ancestors. Many have been the temptations to stray into interesting and wider fields than the self-imposed limits of this work. To trace all the descend- ants of Balthasar de Wolf, even were it possible, would require many volumes. Only twice has the author permitted himself in the preparation of the tables of descent of the De Wolf families subsequent to the time of Charles D'Wolf of Guad- aloupe to be led away from his purpose — first, in supplementing this chapter on the Canadian De Wolfs with an appendix trac- ing, though necessarily in a very abbreviated imperfect manner, some of the lines of descent of each of the three emigrants of Nova Scotia, the interesting intercourse with the Rhode Island De Wolfs in the earlier generations, the celebrity of many of the descendants, the author's pleasure in acquaintance and correspondence with Dr. De Wolf, Mr. Fred. De Wolf of Halifax, Rev. Mr. Eaton, Mr. Pingree, Rev. Charles H. De Wolf and others of this branch, and the aid and sympathy they had given him in his work, are sul^cient reasons, if any need be urged, for adding so interesting a feature to this volume. The second yielding to temptation resulted from finding among his correspondents, two who were descended respectively from the oldest and the youngest of the brothers of Charles of Guad- aloupe — the only two of his brothers who, so far as the writer can learn, are known to have left descendants. To do more than devote a brief appendix to these branches would have been beyond the scope of the present work. Each of the branches, however, claimed special interest. In the first, the writer's faithful co-laborer, Mr. Oratio J. De Wolf of Coraopolis, Pa., has cleverly, and it would seem successfully, refuted a formerly accepted theory of descent. If space has permitted only an abbreviated genealogy in this line, it is the less to be regretted, since Mr. De Wolf has just issued a more extended genealogy of the male descendants of Matthew De Wolf. We add a sketch which he has kindly furnished us of his ancestor, 96 HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. Joseph De Wolf of Granby, the grandson of Matthew of Bolton. "Joseph De Wolf, son of Peter and Sarah (Couch) De Wolf, was born in Granby, Conn., Aug. 25, 1761. At fourteen years of age he enlisted in the Revolutionary forces. Tradition has it that his mother followed him to camp with a switch, but, finding herself unequal to the task, secured the services of his uncle to give the young patriot a switching. However this may be, it is certain that the castigation (if he got one) did not cool his patriotic ardor, for he served throughout the struggle, by virtue of which service, in 1832, he was granted a pension of eighty-three dollars per annum during his natural life. 'A Revolutionary Soldier,' is the honorable inscription on his tombstone in the old cemetery at Vernon, Ohio. He was married Oct. 12, 1780, to Sarah Gibbons, daughter of Peter and Sarah (Green) Gibbons of Granville, Mass., born May 5, 1764. In the spring of 1799 ^^ went (in advance of his family) to northeastern Ohio, purchasing a tract of land from the Con- necticut Land Co., in what is now Vernon Township, Trumbull Co., his being one of the first three cabins erected within the confines of the township. In the following year his family consisting of wife and ten children (the youngest a babe of one year) joined him, making the trip in company with other emigrants. The route lay through Pittsburgh, down the Ohio River to Beaver, from whence the emigrants were obliged to cut a road through an unbroken forest. The means of trans- portation afforded the family was an ox wagon; on the way one of the oxen died, and a cow that had been brought along for milk was yoked up to finish the journey. The subject of our sketch was commissioned a Justice of the Peace in 18 10, by Gov. Worthington, then Governor of the State, and was Treasurer of the first lodge of Masons instituted in Trumbull County. He died Aug. 15, 1846, and was followed to the ' Great Unknown ' two years later by his faithful wife. They are buried side by side in the old cemetery at Vernon, Ohio." After this volume had gone to press, a sketch was received of another distinguished and interesting character of this same line of Matthew, Dr. Thaddeus Kingsley De Wolf of Chester, Mass. The sketch written by his daughter, Mrs. Sarah De Wolf Garnwell, which (with great regret is slightly abbreviated) follows: DR. THADDEUS KINGSLEY DE WOLF, Chester, Mass. Born 1801 ; Died 1890. Appendix B. (58). HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. 97 " The life of Dr. Thaddeus Kings! ey De Wolf, which extended over all the nineteenth century, 1801-1890, was interrupted by hardly an illness of thirty-six hours duration. On Sunday, Nov. 5, 1890, he fell asleep peacefully in his library chair as, in his own words, he would have wished, "ready and eager to pass on." He was born at Otis, Mass., May 18, 1801, son of Capt. James De Wolf of that town, and was named for his paternal aunt's husband, Thaddeus Kingsley, Esq., of Platts- burgh, N. Y. After having graduated from Castleton, Vt., he practised his profession a short time in Litchfield Co., Conn., then he moved to Chester, Mass., where he remained to the end of his life, though offered many honors in other places, among them a Professorship in the Medical School at Philadelphia. A man of strong character, he had sincere friends and warm enemies, but was respected of all. As a physician, it is doubt- ful if he had his superior in Western Massachusetts, and was frequently called into consultations with those "river-gods," Drs. Stone and Flint. He was extremely scrupulous in pro- fessional courtesy, but merciless in exposure of quakery. He graduated eleven medical students. He was especially kind and helpful to young men. The gentle vein of his character was also seen in his great love of children and fondness for animal pets. Devoted to his profession, he could yet excel in a political speech or Fourth of July Oration. His speech on receiving the banner for his town at the Whig Convention of 1844, was praised by both Choate and "Webster. In 1836, he was ap- pointed Justice of the Peace by Gov. Everett, which office he held till his death. He represented his town in the General Court, 1868, and was for thirty years postmaster. He excelled in anecdotes, and was never happier than entertaing guests at his own table. Dr. De Wolf was, at sixty, a man of remarkable personal presence with the air and style of an old French Seigneur As will be seen by the tables of the appendix, he has left descendants who have won distinction in both professional and business pursuits. The second line in Appendix B presents, conspiciously, the transition of the name from De Wolf to Dolph. In a recent letter to the writer (May 16, 1902), Mrs. Salisbury makes the interesting statement: "At one time the brother of Senator 98 HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. Dolph refused to accept my assertion that he was a De Wolf and forbade me to say so in my book I was able to fully prove the connection." Since that time, great advance has been made in the study of this branch of the family, and the gradual modifications of the name, as may be seen from the interesting facts brought together at the Dolph Reunion at Kinsman, Ohio, especially in the essay of Prof. J. M. Dolph, the Senator's brother, freely quoted earlier in this chapter. The proceedings of this reunion should be put in permanent form. The writer's indebtedness to many members of the family for patience, forbearance and industry in furnishing the necessary information for these pages, has been frequently recognized in the course of this narrative. To mention all would add many pages. Mr. John Horton De Wolf, of Chicago, son of Dr. James De Wolf, of Vail, Iowa, has given inestima- ble aid in taking upon himself much of the labor of tracing out the members of the line of Simon, son of Charles, of Guad- aloupe. Mr. Lafayette Erastus De Wolf, of Nimble, Pa.; the Rev. Erastus De Wolf, and his sister-in-law; Mr. Clark De Wolf, and many others of the Simon De Wolf branch, have lightened the writer's labors in a portion of the work which presented the greatest difficulties. Almost every family of his nearer relatives in Rhode Island branches, has furnished^ a willing and enthusiastic cousin to aid him. To the State His- torian of New York the writer owes his knowledge of the sys- tem adopted in tabulating this work, while even so busy and distinguished men as the Secretary of State, his Theta Delta Chi brother, Hon. John Hay ; Senator Hoar, of Massachusetts; the Secretary of War, the Rt. Rev. the Bishop of Nova Scotia ; and others, have not withheld aid in his search. To such invaluable works as the Salisbury's Fafnily Histories, and Prof. Munroe's History of Bristol, obligations may have been suffi- ciently acknowledged where quoted, but not to my old school friend, Prof. Munroe himself for further help, nor to his wife, herself of the Le Baron line. To Mr. Le Baron Willard, Mr. Le Baron Bradford, and many others, in the matter of the appendices. His own cousin, Mrs. Josephine De Wolf Gardi- ner, has been the writer's constant co-laborer. While as he closed his task, he has not only the cheer of the presence, but much valuable assistance in the work of final revision, cor- i HENRY DE WOLF, Sergt. 134TH 111. U. S. V.

HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. 99 recting, indexing and copying, from his friend of many years, Mr. L. F. Sennett. Notwithstanding all these advantages, the writer is not so presumptious as to hope that the work will be found without errors or serious omissions. Others would undoubtedly have made more of the material, none could more earnestly have desired to give a truthful and impartial sketch of the family whose blood flows in his own veins. He has not recorded all the scandals, the failures, the shortcomings, that might be gathered in the annals of this as in every family. Yet he believes he has not so far concealed the faults as to give only a distorted view of the virtues of his kinsmen. It was the writer's purpose to introduce a special appendix on military service of the De Wolf family, and consequent eligibility of living descendants to the various Patriotic Socie- ties. The result of attempts to get exact information upon the subject, makes it doubtful if the treatment could be suffi- ciently accurate and cemprehensive, while the work has been so extended in other directions, that neither time nor space permits. He has contented himself with accasionally noting military service reported to him under names as they occur, and must leave the rest to his readers. The descendants of Simon De Wolf and those of his uncles as well, (LI.) would be eligible to the Society of Colonial Wars ; the descendants of Mark Anthony, through his active service on the Prince Charles of Lorraine. So too, of Mark Anthony's descendants, those who descend from the Bradfords and Le Barons ; i. e., the descendants of his son James, and his two grandsons, George and Charles, would be entitled to membership in the Colonial Wars, the Colonial Governors, and The Mayflower Society ; the last both through Governor William Bradford, of Plymouth, and through Richard W^arren. A much greater number than can be indicated, would be eligible as sons or daughters of the American Revolution. Such are the Perrys of both the James De Wolf descent and the Nancy Kinnicutt descent. The former branches of the Perrys could claim membership in the S. A. R. through Capt. C. R. Perry; and the Society of War, 181 2, through Capt. R. H. Perry. The services of members of the family in our country's more recent wars, have had frequent mention in the course of the narrative. LufC. 100 HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. Many De Wolf veterans of the Civil War are still living. Younger men served in the Spanish War. Sometimes whole families consist of veterans of the Civil War, as in the case of Dr. John De Wolf, of Providence, all of whose sons were in the Union Army. An interesting volume could be written of thrilling adventure, of warlike deeds, and bravery of many who yet live "to tell the tale." The writer in boyhood had heard from his mother's lips tales of the Revolution, as related by her aunt, Mrs. Gen. James M. Varnum, who lived to mend the baby socks of her oldest boy. From the lips of that same baby grown to mature manhood, the oldest brother of the writer, Major R. H. Perry, he has heard frequently in later years no less thrilling tales of service on the stail of Gen- eral "Phil Sheridan," of the Reconstruction Period, when Military Chief of Police at Galveston, Texas, of watching the movements of Maximilian in Mexico, or of strange State secrets that read like chapters of Venetian history, with which he was connected as Consul at Santo Domingo during the administration of President Grant. But these chapters hardly find a legitimate place in a genealogy. Future annalists of the family must record the brave deeds of those now living, and adorn their pages with their portraits. In order not to become a veritable photographic album, the illustrations of this volume have been chiefly confined to the older generations. We make an exception to give a group of young soldier boys — none of them now living — that they may bear witness that not alone the older generations bear the palm for beauty or for bravery. The writer knows many a brave living veteran deserving a place by their side, but he has followed the wise counsel of one of his distinguished young cousins, Mr. Dana Gibson, him- self a son of one of the soldier group, to devote this volume to the record of the deeds, and the presentation of the portraits of our ancestors, leaving to those who come after the work of doing justice to the living. If the writer's labor of several years shall cause the sons and daughters of to-day in any degree to emulate the virtues, while shunning the shortcom- ings of their forefathers, he may gratefully close his task with Laus Deo. THE RIGHT REV. MARK ANTHONY DE WOLF HOWE, D.D. (iS6) First Bishop of Central Pennsylvania. Consecrated Dec. 28, 1871. Born April 5, 1808; Died July 31, 1895. THE RIGHT REV. MARK ANTHONY DE WOLF HOWE, D. D. FIRST BISHOP OF CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA. A Biographical Sketch by his son M. A. DeW. Howe. Mark Anthony De Wolfe Howe was born in Bristol, R. I., April 5, 1808, the only son of John and Louisa (Smith) Howe. Through his father he traced direct descent to James Howe, who came from England to Roxbury in 1637, and settled the next year in Ipswich. When Bristol was settled in 1680, the first town clerk was Richard Smith, the ancestor of Mrs. John Howe. The mother of John Howe was Abigail D'Wolf, a daughter of Mark Anthony D'Wolf and sister of Captain (and United States Senator) James D'Wolf. A full inheritance of Massachusett's blood and Rhode Island traditions was thus transmitted to the subject of this sketch. Of his schooling in the Bristol Academy, at Phillips- Andover, South Kingston and Taunton, it is not necessary to speak in detail. It prepared him to enter Middlebury College, Vermont, which at the end of two years he left to become a member of the junior class at Brown University, his father's alma mater. Here he graduated in 1828, with the honor that belongs to a class poet, and the sense, destined to live through all his years, of a large personal debt to the influence of Pres- ident Francis Wayland. Before he decided to enter the ministry there were several years of teaching — in the public schools of Boston and as tutor in Latin at Brown University — preceded by a beginning at the study of law in his father's office. But while he taught at Brown, his studies for the ministry, directed by the Rev. John Bristed, son-in-law of John Jacob Astor, and father of the graceful writer, Charles Astor Bristed, were in progress. In January of 1832 he was ready to receive deacon's orders, administered in St. Michael's by Bishop Griswold of the East- ern Diocese, his spiritual father in an intimate sense peculiar to the time and place. After a brief term of service at St. Matthew's Church, South Boston, Mr. Howe, before the end of 1832, became rector of the new parish of St. James, Roxbury. Except for a period of nine months, spent in charge of the historic Christ Church, 102 HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. Cambridge — the "nun" of Dr. Holmes' familiar poem — lie retained the rectorship of the Roxbury parish until 1846. The dignified stone building still used for its worship, after nearly seventy years, is one of the monuments of his ministry there. In his own later life the ties of early work, friendship and affection served to fix permanently for him the New England standards which he carried in 1846 to the rectorship of St. Luke's Church, Philadelphia. To the conduct of this young parish, soon to become a vital power in the life of Philadelphia, he brought also the ripened energies of manhood. For twenty-six years he guided the many activities of his people with signal effect. Of his per- sonal influence it is best to let one of his parishoners speak : "Strong in his convictions, but never arbitrary; deep in his realization of things divine and eternal, yet genial and humor- ous, never sad, but always sympathetic, dignified; but coming close to the hearts of his people— surely his was a rare nature, and one to leave its impress, as it did, upon high and low, rich and poor, in that large congregation." Of the power of any man's preaching the best proof lies in the results. Another quotation, then — from the sermon of the Rt. Rev. Henry C. Potter, of New York, to commemorate the life and services of Bishop Howe — may be permitted: "One there is — may he venture to repeat here what he said in his own Diocese ?— who will most surely never forget him. A wayward youth, sitting once in St. Luke's Church in Phil- adelphia, hears the man who was your first Bishop preach a sermon from the text, * Young man, I say unto thee arise! ' Its impression never left him— the clear, close, faithful message, searching, personal, awakening, starting in him a train of thought and emotion that, touched a little later by another hand, changed the whole current of his life. Is it violating the most'delicate reserve if he recalls that debt to-day, and owns that he has been glad and thankful for the privilege of coming here and laying thus the tribute of his love and gratitude upon your Bishop's grave." But preaching and parish work were by no means the limit of his activities. In the counsels of the church at large, he played an important part. Sent first, in 1850, as a delegate to the General Convention, he held, for the twelve following years, the post of Secretary of the House of Deputies. In HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. 103 committee work outside the convention, he was one of those who, meeting under his roof at Bristol in 1859 and again in 1865, laid the foundation for the present Hymnal of the church. In other years he was delegated to travel through the north and west and speak for the cause of missions. Nor were literary labors wanting. In the summer of 1870, at the instance of the family of his beloved bishop and friend who had died five years before, he completed the Memoirs of the Life and Services of the Rt. Rev. Alonzo Potter, D.D., LL.D. (Philadel- phia, 1871. J. B. Lippincott & Co.) In 187 1, Dr. Howe was elected bishop of the new diocese of Central Pennsylvania. The acceptance of this charge moved his residence from Philadelphia to Reading, where it remained till the last summer of his life. The work of organizing a diocese of magnificent distances and, in many parts, of sparse settlement, might have overtaxed the strength of a younger man. Beginning it at the age of sixty-four, he spared himself through none biit the last few of his twenty-three remaining years. The fruits of his labors were an effective and harmoni- ous organization, and the strength which any such body derives from the loyal following of a leader who is also a personal friend. In the spring of 1895, Bishop Howe felt that the time had come for committing all this leadership to his successor. Accordingly he removed to his well-beloved home, Weetamoe Farm at Bristol, Rhode Island, where on the 31st of July, 1895, he died. It is in this home that his immediate family and his kinsmen — for whom especially these words are written — love best to remember him. Here, perhaps more than anywhere else, he gave and enjoyed the pleasures of hospitality in fullest meas- ure. His love for the place of his birth, and for all those to whom the tie of common blood bound him closely or remotely, was an essential element of his nature. A wonderfully reten- tive memory made his mind a store-house of local and family tradition. Travel and wide acquaintance never moved from the first place in his heart the scenes of Bristol and his interest in her sons and daughters. This brief outline of his life, there- fore, recording the chief events of eighty-seven years truly devoted to the service of his fellowmen in many places, should rightly end where it began — at Bristol.

Descendants of Charles D'Wolf of Guadaloupe, French West Indies, being of the Fourth Generation from Balthasar de Wolf of Lyme, Conn. GENERATION V. 1 Charles* De Wolf, m. (in Guadaloupe) March 31, 1717, Mar- garet Potter. Charles was b. at Lyme, Conn., 1695. He emigrated to Guadaloupe as a millwright and probably trader, in early man- hood, where he married and probably remained till his death. 2 Simon, b. March 8, 1719; d. Jan. 17, 1762. 3 Prudence, b. April 26, 1721. 4 Sarah, b. Sept. 27, 1724. 5 Mark Anthony, b. Nov. 8, 1726; d. Nov. 9, 1793. Of the two daughters nothing is known. Simon returned, a lad, to his grandfather Charles (IX), who resided at Glaston- bury, Conn., later at Middletown, bringing the foreign pro- nunciation of the name D'Olf ; hence many of his descendants have adopted the spelling Dolph. Mark Anthony, the younger son, educated in a French school at Guadaloupe, was brought some time previous to 1744, as a young man of about 17, by Capt. Simeon Potter in one of his ships to Bristol, R. I., where he settled, marrying Capt. Potter's sister Abigail. "Speaking several languages he became Capt. Potter's clerk, in which capacity he sailed several voyages." He wrote the name with the French contraction, D'Wolf, as the writer has assumed his father had done in Guadaloupe. GENERATION VI. 2 Simon' De Wolf, ra. Aug. 27, 1741, Esther Strickland, d.

In March, 1745, Simeon was appointed an officer of the expedition to capture Louisburg under Major-General Roger Wolcott. After the expulsion of the Acadians in 1755, the English Governors encouraged New England people to settle in Nova Scotia, and Simeon De Wolf went to Grand Pr^, in 1761, with his wife and family. On May 29, 1764, these first three settlers, Simeon, Nathan and Jehiel, received a first-class allotment of five hundred acres, consisting of wood lands, farm lots and dyke lands, all of which are clearly designated in the survey of the township. On Sept. 30th of the same year, they received a license to alienate four hundred and fifty acres each. These privileges gave them the most valuable and picturesque land in the village, which was later named Wolfe- ville in their honor. They were the leading men of the time; their descendants held high positions in the Canadian Prov- inces and in England. Of those who remained in Nova Scotia, eight were elected at various times as members of the provin- cial Parliament. We find others filling positions of Judges of the County Courts, Judges of the Probate, Justices of the Peace, High Sheriffs, Postmasters and Collectors of Customs. Many of them moved to the United States. Simeon died m Wolfville, N. S., in Dec, 1780. His wife lived until Oct., 1807, aged eighty-four. They are buried in Wolfville, N.

She had a delicate kind of beauty, fine well-cut features, clear blue eyes and a face full of strength and sweetness. Her mind was like a crystal in its clearness and purity; her common sense and her judgment remarkable. She was in girlhood a gay-spirited creature, and no sorrow or trouble ever quenched that fine spirit. Her courage, her patience never failed. Her devotion to her husband, to her children, to the church and to the poor, was unceasing. Early in her married life she became deeply religious. It can truly be said of her that she lived "as seeing Him who is invisible." Her husband. Job Pingree, died July 2, 1878. They are buried at Forest Hills, near Jamaica Plain, where they lived for so iiiany years. He was a man of great kindliness of heart, strong religious feeling, upright and honorable to a rare degree in his business relations, genial and hospitable in his home life, interested in the great questions of the day both here and abroad. 19 James Isaac* De Wolf, m.

De Wolf's conclu- sive defence of making (as above), Peter, Sarah and Joseph (16, 17, 18), children of Peter and Sarah (Couch) De Wolf (see 6), instead of child- ren of Matthew and Esther (Higley) De Wolf (see 12), as do the Salis- bury Chart and other Genealogies, The reader is referred to his own recently published work (see p. 95). In brief, his argument is : 1. Peter De Wolf (16) was born (established by Rec. Pension Ofifice) 1753, hence Matthew De Wolf, b. 1744, and Esther Higley, b. 1743, could not be his parents. 2. Miss Cynthia Pelton, granddaughter of Joseph (18) now living, aged eighty, distinctly remembers her grandparents telling the singular coinci- dence that the names of the parents of both were Peter and Sarah, and she personally knew Mrs. Lucy (Couch) Morey, sister of her grandmother, Sarah Couch. 3. Grandchildren of Joseph (18) remember his saying he was born on land that belonged to no State. Such a piece, called the " Wedge," near Granby, was long in dispute between Massachusetts and Connecticut. Deeds are on record from John Strickland (1755) to Matthew De Wolf, of Bolton, from the latter to his sons Peter, Ezra and Edward; and from Peter conveying land on the "Wedge" to his son Joseph. If corroboration of such conclusive arguments were needed, it is fur- nished by letters of Dr. T. K. De Wolf (among those kindly sent the author by Mrs. Salisbury), which read: " My father had only two brothers, Ezekiel and Russell;" again, "I well remember my grandmother, Esther Higley." Mr. Samuel De Wolf (Chicago, June 6, 1884), then aged eighty-four, writes Mrs. Salisbury that at the time of his father, Joseph's death, "the family lived on a "wedge" of land lying between Connecticut and Massachusetts, not covered by the Charter of either State. He speaks of his grandmother Couch: " There are five children that I remember, four sons and a daughter; Samuel, Peter, Joseph and Bethuel. Samuel and Bethuel went to upper Canada; Joseph and Peter to Ohio." He refers to his father's marriage to Sarah Gibbons, of Granville, and of their thirteen children. APPENDIX C. THE BRADFORD FAMILY.

A great part of this Appendix, after it was compiled with the valuable assistance of Mrs. E. R. Smith and Mr. Geo. A. Perry (557), it has been found necessary to omit. It is to be hoped that Mrs. Smith's very valuable collection will yet be published. The Records of Sandwich make mention about five years after the town was settled, of Ezra, Edward, Margaret, Han- nah and Deborah Perry, who are believed to be brothers and sisters, possibly children of Sarah Perry, also mentioned in the Records.
