 PREFACE. 
 
 In 1891. the centennial year of the immigration of the Scripps 
 family to America, I published a volume of Memorials, which 
 was designed rather to preserve in enduring print a quantity of 
 historical matter which then existed only in scattered manu- 
 scripts than to formulate a complete genealogical history of the 
 family. This the present volume, a memorial of the one hun- 
 dredth anniversary of the birth of my revered father, is intended 
 more particularly to supply. 
 
 I believe the volume to contain a complete record of the 
 descendants of Robert Scripps, who died in Ely in 1729. While 
 the pedigree can be traced two generations further back, com- 
 pleteness in the record wa? only possible by beginning with this 
 Robert. 
 
 Of the direct descendants of Robert Scripps this volume 
 contains the names of 418. Of these, 273 are living — an increase 
 of 47 within the past, twelve years. Of these 273 there are 162 
 living in the United States and 111 in England, South Africa, 
 South America, India and Japan. It is noteworthy that while 
 the representatives of the family in America have increased in 
 number only 19.1 per cent in the past twelve years, the increase 
 elsewhere has been 23.3 per cent. 
 
 In foot notes the pedigrees of all who have married into the 
 family have been given, so far as obtainable. In some cases 
 
IV PREFACE. 
 
 these will be found of exceedingly great interest. I must own 
 to considerable surprise at the large number of eminent men who 
 have borne relationship of some kind with one branch or another 
 of the Scripps family or its alliances. 
 
 The notable facts concerning every member of the family are 
 given where in their characters or achievements anything notable 
 is known. It cannot fail to be noticed how large a part the 
 family have borne, in a modest way, in the history of the past 
 century and a half, and particularly in the development of our 
 own western country. 
 
 A directory of the names, places of residence and occupation 
 of all living members of the family will be found in the later 
 pages of the book. 
 
 Blank pages are provided at the end of the volume for the 
 continuation of the record in manuscript. I trust they will be 
 used, and urgently request that transcripts of all such additional 
 records be sent to me for the perfecting from time to time of 
 my own copy. 
 
 Where so many members of the family have interested them- 
 selves to aid me with information, it would be invidious to single 
 out .any for special acknowledgments. My sincere thanks are 
 due to all who have in any way aided me in the work. 
 
 For the material for the genealogical tables of the Warren 
 and Jackson families I am mainly indebted to the admirable 
 history of those families compiled by Mrs. Betsey Warren Davis 
 of Philadelphia.

GENEALOGY OF THE SCRIPPS FAMILY. 
 
 The Scripps family, at the earliest period of which we 
 have knowledge of it, was domiciled at Ely, in Cambridge- 
 shire, England. The earliest date at which the name is 
 found in the parish registers of the city is January 16, 
 1619-20, when Amy Crips, an infant, was buried. Then 
 there are no other registries until 1630, from which year 
 down to 1758 thej 7 are very numerous. In the nine 
 earliest registries the name is spelled Crips or Cripps, the 
 initial S being first found in 1634, when in the record of 
 a baptism the name is first written Crips and afterwards 
 altered to Scrips. The identity of the names is quite 
 apparent. 
 
 The earliest clearly-made-out progenitor of the family 
 was one Thomas Scripps. Throughout the registers the 
 name is almost invariably spelled by the parish clerk with 
 a single p, though it is certain that the family themselves 
 spelled it as we still do. This Thomas Scripps was married 
 to Agnes or Anne Finch on January 21, 1630. Their 
 children were as follows : 
 
 Baptised. 
 
 William Scripps Oct. 31, 1630. 
 
 Thomas Scripps Oct. 21, 1632. 
 
 William Scripps Mar. 30, 1634. 
 
 John Scripps Feb. 21, 1636. 
 
 Joan Scripps Jan. 28, 1638. 
 
 Robert Scripps May 16, 1641. 
 
 On October 27, 1650, Anne Scripps, wife of Thomas, 
 was buried, and on December 16, 1651, Thomas Scripps 
 was married to Elizabeth Atkin. There seems to have 
 been no issue by this marriage. This Thomas Scripps 
 probably had a brother William, for a William Scripps 
 
GENEALOGY OF THE 
 
 was married to Joan Fox on January 16, 1638. This 
 may explain Thomas's daughter born about the same 
 time being named Joan. It is probable that this was a 
 second marriage of William's, for there had been children 
 of a William Scripps baptised in 1631, 1634 and 1637. 
 But none of William's posterity seem to have survived. 
 He probably died before 1645, for on May 14 of that year 
 Joan Scripps was married to William Riches. 
 
 SECOND GENERATION. 
 
 Of the children of Thomas Scripps, William was 
 married to Anne Say re on October 28, 1655, Thomas to 
 Jane Boston October 18. 1657, and Robert to Elizabeth 
 Sargison January 26, 1668. This was in Robert's case 
 probably a second marriage, for an Elizabeth Scripps, 
 wife of Robert, had been buried on September 30, 1664. 
 William and Anne Scripps had four children — three girls 
 and one boy. They probably all died in childhood. There 
 is no record of any children to Thomas and Jane Scripps, 
 though between 1657 and 1674 there are records of the 
 burial of live infant Scrippses, the parents of whom are 
 not specified on the parish registers. 
 
 Robert and Elizabeth Scripps had two sons, both of 
 whom died in childhood, and the mother herself was 
 buried on the same dav that her youngest child was 
 baptised, December 23, 1669. On May 2, 1671, Robert 
 married Mary Westfield. The Westfields were probably 
 a family of local consideration, for in 1673, when taxes 
 were assessed on hearths, Mark Westfield paid on three 
 hearths, while the bishop's palace only boasted seven. 
 There is reason to believe. that Robert Scripps followed the 
 honorable trade of house carpenter. He seems to have 
 been in comfortable circumstances, for he owned at least 
 six pieces of land in and about Ely, including four acres 
 in Padnall and six acres in Cawdle Fen. In 1679 he 
 bought a place in Ely, near the stone bridge, of Archdeacon 
 
SCRIPPS FAMILY 7 
 
 Palmer. By his wife Mary, Robert Scripps had children 
 as follows : 
 
 Baptised. Buried. 
 
 Anne Scripps May 27, 1672. Aug. 18, 1672. 
 
 Mary Scripps Aug. 30, 1673. 
 
 Anne Scripps Feb. 24, 1681. 
 
 Thomas Scripps April 6, 1684. 
 
 William Scripps Jan. 23, 1688. 
 
 Robert Scripps (baptism not recorded.) 
 
 It is probable that there were other children, between 
 Mary and the second Anne, who died in infancy. Robert, 
 the father, was buried January 31, 1700, and Mary, his 
 widow, on February 13, 1712. 
 
 The three sons above mentioned reached adult years. 
 Thomas married Mary Simpson on June 28, 1703, and 
 had a large family by her, all of whom died young. She 
 was buried May 4, 1736, and he on September 22, 1741. 
 
 William, the second son of Robert and Mary Scripps, 
 left Ely while still a young man, and was lost sight of by 
 his family. In 1892 a family bearing the name of Scripps 
 was discovered in Barkway, Herts., whither they had 
 removed from Braughing and Omead, in the same county. 
 It is probable that they are the descendants of this William 
 Scripps. The parish registers of Barkway show a William 
 Scrip to have been buried there on February 25, 1758. 
 If this was the William, son of Robert and Mary Scripps, 
 he would have been about 70 years old at the time of his 
 death. 
 
 THIRD GENERATION. 
 
 There is no record of the baptism of Robert Scripps in 
 the Ely registers, but in Mary Scripps's will, registered at 
 Peterborough, he is alluded to as her youngest son. He 
 was probably not of full age at the time of the making 
 of the will in 1710, for he could hardly have been born 
 earlier than 1690. He is made joint executor with his 
 absent brother William, and sole executor in case of 
 William's non-return. On April 13, 1718, Robert was 
 
8 GENEALOGY OF THE 
 
 married to Sarah Plowright, daughter of John, and prob- 
 able granddaughter of Simon Plowright, John Plowright 
 died in 1722. She had two brothers, Thomas and John. 
 The Plowrights, father and sons, were all carpenters, as 
 was also Robert Scripps. They owned property in Ely, 
 and in 1673 Simon Plowright was taxed for two hearths, 
 implying comfortable circumstances. 
 
 Robert and Sarah Scripps's children were as follows: 3 
 
 Baptised. Buried. 
 
 2. Thomas Scripps . . . Nov. 6, 1720. May 22, 1722. 
 
 3. Sarah Scripps Jan. 14, 1722 Jan. 17, 1722. 
 
 4. William Scripps . . . Sept. 6, 1724. 
 
 5. Mary Scripps Jan. 4, 1726. 
 
 There were also five other children buried between 
 1723 and 1728 who were probably theirs, viz.: John, 
 April 15, 1723; Thomas, April 21, 1723 (probably twins); 
 Anne and Mary (probably also twins), February 9, 1728, 
 and James, September 3, 1727. The probability is that 
 of a family of nine children all but one, William, died in 
 infancy. From the fact of Robert Scripps losing two 
 pieces of property by mortgage foreclosure, as appears by 
 the manor rolls, it is to be inferred that he was not a suc- 
 cessful business man. Sarah Scripps was buried at Ely, 
 May 3, 1729, and her husband on the 20th of the same 
 month. 
 
 FOURTH GENERATION. 
 
 4. William Scripps, son of Robert and Sarah, baptised 
 at Ely, September 6, 1724. He was but four and a half 
 years old at the time of his parents' death, and was probably 
 brought up by his uncle, Thomas Plowright, who appears 
 to have been childless. He inherited the property of both

 with the second Robert Scripps, because, of his descendants it is 
 possible to make a complete record. It will be observed that I might 
 have begun two generations earlier, but it would have been at the 
 expense of completeness.

 his mother's brothers at their death. He followed the 
 carpenter's trade, and appears to have been foreman or 
 superintendent for all the work required by the cathedral 
 authorities at Ely. "When the dome and lantern of the 
 cathedral were restored, between the years 1757 and 1762, 
 he had charge of the work. There is a family tradition 
 that, having* a dispute with the Dean and Chapter regard- 
 ing some payments, he refused to take down the scaffolding 
 employed in the work until his claims were adjusted, and 
 so ingeniously was it constructed that they were unable 
 to find anyone else who could remove it, and so were 
 compelled to yield to his demands. This does not, however, 
 seem to have made any difference with his relations with 
 the cathedral authorities, for as late as 1769 we find, by 
 bills rendered to the Dean and Chapter, that he was still 
 engaged upon work for them. He is said to have been a 
 very superior mechanic, but given to jollity and perhaps 
 dissipation. On the south wall of Bishop Alcock's chapel, 
 at the eastern extremity of the north aisle of Ely Cathe- 
 dral, the name "W. Scripps, Anno Dom. 1763"' may be 
 read, scratched with a sharp instrument. He removed to 
 London, and died there, some time between 1773 and 1780. 
 He married, February 24, 1746, Susannah Chapman, 
 whom I take to have been a daughter of Giles Chapman 
 and granddaughter of Robert Chapman. The registers 
 show the baptism of six children of William and Susannah 
 Scripps, as follows : 
 
 Baptised. Buried. 
 
 6. Sarah Scripps Feb. 12, 1747. 
 
 7. William Scripps April 6, 1749. 
 
 8. Mary Scripps Feb. 16, 1751. Feb. 23, 1751. 
 
 9. Mary Scripps May 13, 1753 
 
 10. John Plowright Scripps.. Sept. 1, 1755. Sept. 7, 175"=:. 
 
 11. Anne Scripps May 15, 1757. 
 
 Then in 1758 Susannah Scripps died, and was buried 
 on June 25. Of their six children, only William and one 
 of the sisters, Mary, seem to have reached maturity, though 
 there is no record of the burial of the others, except as 
 
IO GENEALOGY OF THE 
 
 given above. This sister subsequently married John Pear, 
 a master shoemaker of London. Mary Pear died in 
 Westminster June 26, 1828, at the age of 75, and is buried 
 in St. Margaret's churchyard. She appears to have left 
 no children. 
 
 FIFTH GENERATION. 
 
 7. William Scripps, son of William and Susannah 
 Scripps, Avas born in Ely, March 20, 1749, O. S., and wts 
 baptised in Trinity Church in that city on April 6 of the 
 same year. He was nine years old when his mother died. 
 He was taught his father's trade, but was injured, probably 
 in some street brawl, and spent several years on crutches. 
 In search of a cure he Avent to London, Avhere in 1771 he 
 married Grace, daughter of Joseph and Mary Locke, a 
 great-great-granddaughter of Anthony Pearson, 2 a Quaker 
 of prominence during the period of the CommonAvealth. 
 William Scripps embarked in the shoemaking business, and 
 employed a large number of men, but he was unsuccessful, 
 and on May 1, 1701, sailed Avith his family, except his 
 
 2. Anthony Pearson was born in the county of Durham, according 
 to the Dictionary of National Biography, in 162S, but there is reason to 
 believe at an earlier date. He was trained to the law, and was clerk 
 and registrar to the parliamentary committee for compounding from 
 its first appointment in 1649. In February, 1651-2, he was appointed 
 sequestration commissioner for Durham. Upon the sale of the bishops' 
 lands, he became a large purchaser of estates in Cumberland and Nor- 
 thumberland. Appointed a justice of the peace for three counties, he 
 sat at the trial of the Quaker James Naylor, at Appleby, in Westmore- 
 land, in 1652, and soon after became himself a convert to Quakerism. 
 In October, 1653, he memorialized parliament in behalf of the Quakers, 
 who were unjustly persecuted. In May, 1655, he delivered to Oliver 
 Cromwell, in a personal interview, a memorial setting forth the con- 
 dition of the Quakers confined in the various prisons of England, 
 which, in connection with Thomas Aldam, he had personally collected. 
 He is said to have been the first of this sect to preach in London. In 
 1657 he published his masterly work entitled The Great Case of Tithes, 
 of which editions were reprinted in 1658, 1659, 1730, 1754, 1762, and finally 
 as recently as 1862. At the restoration Pearson was arrested and nar- 
 rowly escaped prosecution for treason. Probably to save himself, he 
 renounced Quakerism and surrendered the confiscated estates he had 
 
SCRIPPS FAMILY II 
 
 eldest son, for America. He came over in the brig 
 Minerva, commanded by Capt. Porter, father of Commo- 
 dore David Porter, and grandfather of Admiral David D. 
 Porter, U. S. N., and landed in Baltimore early in July. 
 In October he settled in Alexandria, Va., where he 
 resumed the shoemaking business and opened a general 
 store. A year later he bought a large tract of land near 
 Morgantown, West Va., without seeing it, and as it turned 
 out was badly swindled. In the autumn of 1792 he 
 removed to this property, his effects being conveyed in 
 three wagons, each drawn by four or six horses, and his 
 wife riding a horse, named Chevalier, which had carried 
 Gen. Washington through the War of the Revolution, but 
 which was now superannuated and suited only to a woman's 
 riding. Besides his own family, William Scripps took 
 with him a number of mechanics and others, intending to 
 found a colony on his estate. Three weeks were required 
 for the journey of 250 miles through the wilderness, and 
 
 purchased. He then became a friend and protege of John Cosin, Bishop 
 of Durham. In 1663-4 he was employed in Scotland by the government, 
 and at the time of his death was Under Sheriff for Durham. He was 
 married before his conversion to Quakerism. He died in January, 1665, 
 himself and children being reconciled to the Church of England, but 
 his wife remaining a member of the Society of Friends. 
 The descent from Anthony Pearson I deduce as follows: 
 
 Anthony Pearson, 
 d. 1665. I 
 
 Joanna Pearson==John Major, 
 
 of Bridlington, Yorkshire, 
 d. about 1690, aged 65. 
 Joanna Major==William Topcliffe. 
 m. 1674. I 
 
 Mary Topcliffe==Joseph Locke. 
 
 Grace Locke==William Scripps, 
 b. 1750, b. 1749, 
 
 d. 1811. d. 1823. 
 
 It is not improbable that another generation should intervene 
 between William and Joanna Topcliffe and Joseph and Mary Locke. It 
 is known that William and Joanna had a son, William Topcliffe, born 
 in 1683, and it is probable that he was the father of the Mary Topcliffe 
 who married Joseph Locke. 
 
 The John Major who married Joanna Pearson was grandfather to 
 
12 GENEALOGY OF THE 
 
 Morgantown was reached early in December. 3 Here, dis- 
 appointed, he resided in poor circumstances until May, 
 1809, when at the instance of his sons he removed to Cape 
 Girardeau, Mo. There his wife, Grace, died on July 17, 
 1811, and he on November 8, 1823, both being buried in 
 the little cemetery of Cape Girardeau, on the bluffs over- 
 looking the Mississippi. 
 
 "William Scripps was a man of intelligence, information 
 and refinement, and an extensive reader. He was short in 
 stature, of active, bustling manner, and greatly given to 
 jocularity. His later years were spent as cutter in a shoe 
 shop carried on by one of his sons. His wife, Grace, was 
 a lady of culture and refinement and considerable pride. 
 That they must have possessed sterling qualities is proven 
 by the characters and successful careers of their three sons. 
 In the great religious revivals which characterized the 
 opening years of the nineteenth century the whole family 
 became zealous Methodists. 
 
 Sir John Major, of Worlingworth Hall, Suffolk. The latter was an 
 Elder Brother of Trinity House from 1741 till his death in 1781. He was 
 High Sheriff of Sussex in 1755, sat in Parliament for Scarborough in 
 1761, and was made a Baronet in 17C5. He was a director of the South 
 Sea House and a governor of Greenwich Hospital. His two daughters 
 married respectively Sir John Henniker and Henry Bridges, Duke of 
 Chandos, both daughters being first cousins to Mary Topcliffe. 
 
 There is a monumental brass to a Topclyffe in Topcliffe parish 
 church in Yorkshire. The brass is of the 14th century and is cut on 
 the reverse of an older Flemish brass, as was the custom of those 
 times. The figure is life size, and is of a man in armor. A fac-simile 
 appears in Waller's Series of Monumental Brasses in England (1863). 
 
 Joseph Locke held himself to be of the same ancestry with John 
 Locke, the author of the Essay on Human Understanding, but the 
 relationship cannot be traced. In early life Joseph Locke followed the 
 sea, probably commanding a Bridlington, Yorkshire, vessel, that place 
 being the home of the Topcliffes. 
 
 3. Hon. John Marshall Hagans, circuit judge for Monongalia county, 
 West Va., writes me from Morgantown: 
 
 "Our record books show that William Scripps was given letters of 
 attorney by one John McGuire, who designates the said William as his 
 'trusty friend,' to convey half of 770 acres of land on Wickware's creek 
 to one Dr. Thomas Bond. This is dated 1793. From the language of 
 this instrument it would seem that McGuire had fallen into the toils of 
 
SCRIPPS FAMILY 13 
 
 William and Grace Scripps were parents of about 19 
 children, as follows : 
 
 12. William Armigor Scripps, born July 21, 1772. 
 
 13. Joseph Locke Scripps, date of birth lost; died at 4% years. 
 
 14. Benjamin Scripps, born May 15, 1779. 
 
 15-22. Eight other children between 1773 and 1784, who died 
 in infancy. 
 
 23. John Scripps, born August 26, 1785. 
 
 24. Anne Scripps, born Jan. 10, 1787.

 26. Sarah Scripps, born March, 1789; died in Morgantown, 
 Sept., 1793. 
 
 27. George Henry Scripps, born May 16, 1790. 
 
 28. Mary Scripps, born May, 1792, at Alexandria; died there 
 in August. 
 
 29. Camilla Scripps, born near Morgantown, June, 1791; 
 died July, 1794.

 A Milly Scripps, reported in one record to have been 
 born in 1793, is (probably identical with Camilla. 
 
 the land pirate, as your ancestor seems to have done, for it sets forth 
 that Dr. Bond agreed to pay McGuire back his money if the land were 
 reconveyed, for which purpose these letters of attorney were executed. 
 Dr. Bond is buried here, having died in 1794. He was a land agent for 
 large tracts of land and came out here to dispose of them for the 
 owners, but fell into the ways of dissipation common to a pioneer 
 country life, where rye was the principal crop. I cannot find title to 
 any other lands in the name of any Scripps, except that he obtained a 
 patent from the commonwealth in 1796, as assignee of John Plumley, 
 for 70 acres of land lying on the road from Morgantown to Clarksburg. 
 He conveyed that by deed, his wife Grace joining, to one Henry Ham- 
 ilton, April 27, 1809, for 300 dollars. It appears that he acknowledged it 
 in open court at the August term 1809, so that it was probably the fall 
 of 1809 when he left this country. This land is about three miles from 
 town and is a fine farm now. It does not necessarily mean, because 
 our records here do not show it, that William Scripps did not buy other 
 tracts, as it was very common for persons, as the law then authorized, 
 to record at Richmond titles to land in distant counties. 
 
 "Morgantown has been the point from which whole colonies have 
 emigrated to the west. At the time your ancestor lived here the father 
 (grandfather?) of Mrs. President Hayes lived here also, and carried on 
 a pottery and merchandizing. Many of his family connections married 
 here and their descendants are still here. The record of titles would 
 be more complete and satisfactory if the clerk's office containing them 
 had not been burned in 1796."

 SIXTH GENERATION. 
 
 12. William Armiger Scripps, eldest son of AVilliam 
 and Grace (Locke) Scripps, was born in London, July 21, 
 1772. His name Armiger was derived from one William 
 Armiger of Ely, who in 1746 married his great-aunt 
 Elizabeth Plowright. At an early age he entered the office 
 of the London Daily Sun as a clerk, and in February, 1801, 
 became publisher of that paper. This position he resigned 
 in 1820 to become the publisher of The Literary Gazette, 
 a connection he retained till his death. About 1802 he 
 added to his other business a general newspaper agency in 
 South Molton street, which is still continued in the hands 
 of a great-grandson. In August, 1797, he married Mary 
 Dixie, who was born in St. Neots, Huntingdonshire, on 
 March 30, 1771. She died at Earl's Court, near London, 
 October 6, 1838. 4 He twice visited America, once in 1833 
 and agaiu in 1843. In his later years he bought St. Cath- 
 erine's Hall, Niton, Isle of Wight, where he ended his 
 long life, dying suddenly, August 26, 1851. He was buried 
 beside his wife in Ivensall Green Cemetery, London. Lie

 good story teller, an extensive reader, a close observer,

 with his parents to America in 1791, and upon reaching 
 his majority entered upon a roving life. He lived for 
 some time at Cape Girardeau, Mo., then under Spanish 
 dominion, and served in a Spanish battalion against the 
 Indians in 1802. In 1804 he traveled through. Texas, and 
 then engaged in business in New Orleans. Next he 
 embarked in trading with a boat on Red river. In 1809 
 he was in possession of a farm in Catahola parish, Louisi- 
 ana, a little west of Natchez. Thither he persuaded his 
 father and family to remove, arranging to meet them at 
 Cape Girardeau and conduct them to their new home. 
 His father and family duly arrived at Cape Girardeau, but 
 Benjamin failed to join them, and subsequent search for 
 him led to the belief that he was robbed and murdered on 
 Christmas day, 1809, at or near the mouth of the St. 
 Francis river, the banks of the Mississippi being at that 
 time infested with desperadoes. Thus it was that the 
 Scripps family in America came for some years to be 
 domiciled at Cape Girardeau. 
 
 23. John Scripps, son of William and Grace (Locke) 
 Scripps, born in London, August 26, 1785, was five years 
 old when brought by his parents to America. He grew 
 up in the rough wilderness of West Virginia, amid great 
 privations. At 18 he was apprenticed to the tanning trade 
 at Clarksburgh, where he remained four years. During 
 this period he applied all his leisure time to reading and 
 study, and thus picked up a tolerable education. In 1808,

 in a great religious revival at Morgantown, he, with the 
 rest of the family, became a Methodist, and a few years 
 after was ordained a preacher of that denomination. In 
 that capacity he had charge of circuits covering good parts 
 of Illinois, Indiana and Missouri, and the first Methodist 
 church in St. Louis was of his planting. He withdrew from 
 active ministerial work in 1824, but continued a local 
 preacher o+" the Methodist church to the end oi his lite. 
 Removing to Cape Girardeau with his father's f aimly m 
 1809, he established a tanyard there. Alter lM41ie 
 engaged largely in mercantile business at Jackson, Mo., 
 and later at Eushville, 111., but met misfortune m the 
 o-eneral financial collapse of 1839. Later he for some 
 years edited and published at Rushville the Prairie Tele- 
 graph, a weeklv newspaper, now the Rushville Times. He 
 married, on November 25, 1824, Agnes Come who was 
 born at Kirkcudbright, Scotland, June 13, 1800. In 
 July 1831 he removed to Eushville, 111., where he died,

 27. George Henry Scripps, youngest son of William 
 and Grace (Locke) Scripps, was born in London, May 16, 
 1790, and was brought to America an infant. He grew 
 up at Morgantown and removed with the family to Cape 
 Girardeau, where he followed farming, tanning and gen- 
 eral merchandising. He was a man of high character and 
 was licensed to preach in Methodist pulpits, but never 
 pursued that calling. He served in the militia during the 
 war of 1812, participating in the Battle of the Sink Hole 
 on May 24, 1814, in which Black Hawk led the Indian 
 combatant^. 8 He was a member of the convention which 
 framed the first constitution for Missouri, and in 1824 was 
 a member of the Legislature of that state. In April, 1830,

 in 1750, upon the fly-leaf of which was written "Miss Nancy Scripps 
 July ye 12th 1806." The book of course belonged to Anne Scripps, who 
 went by the name of Nancy. Curiously the little volume found it way 
 from Cape Girardeau to Detroit, to be restored to the family after the 
 lapse of nearly a hundred years. 
 
 8. On the breaking out of the War of 1812 the Indians of the north- 
 west were armed by the British and made incursions upon the settlers 
 along the banks of the Mississippi. The United States government 
 authorized the raising of three companies of rangers on the west bank, 
 which were commanded respectively by Daniel M. Boone, Nathan 
 Boone and David Musick. Numerous murders having been committed 
 by the Indians, the whites for protection erected a number of stockades

 from motives of conscience, he emancipated his slaves and 
 removed to the free state of Illinois, settling in Rushville, 
 where he engaged extensively in tanning, milling and 
 mercantile business. He visited England about 1838. On 
 July 14, 1814, he married Mary, daughter of David and 
 Catherine Ililer, who was born in Tennessee October 22, 
 1797, and who died August 14, 1851. He then married, 
 on December 16, 1852, Mrs. Jane Vandevanter of Ver-

 at various points, within which they gathered for safety. One of these, 
 named Fort Howard, was at or near the present site of Monroe, on 
 Cuivre river, which enters the Mississippi about 50 miles above Alton. 
 Peter Craig, of Cape Girardeau, was in command. On May 24, 1814, 
 three men from the fort were killed by Indians. Capt. Craig with 
 about 50 men started out to punish the redskins. At Benjamin Aller's 
 farm on the bluff a sharp encounter took place. Capt. Musick with 20 
 men, hearing the firing as he was returning from a scout, reinforced 
 the whites and the Indians were driven from their position. The larger 
 part took refuge in the Sink Hole, a natural hollow, 10 or 12 feet deep, 
 60 long, by 12 or 15 wide, with steep banks well protected with bushes. 
 Here the Indians were surrounded and an afternoon was spent in 
 attempting to dislodge them, but without success. Black Hawk was a 
 member of the Indian band. Captain Craig was killed with seven 
 others, and five were wounded. Night coming on, other Indians began 
 firing in the vicinity of the fort, half a mile distant, which, leading to 
 the belief that the post was in danger, caused the troops to be drawn 
 off for its protection, when the Indians sheltered in the Sink Hole 
 made good their escape. (See Wisconsin Historical Society's Collec-

 that he had never had an ancestor hanged but no doubt plenty of them 
 richly deserved it.

 tember 9, 1803; apprenticed at 14 to the bookbinding art 
 which he followed upon his own account at Xo. 5 South 
 Molton street from 1827 to 1844. He then emigrated to 
 America and spent the rest of his life mainly in agricultural 
 pursuits at Rnshville, 111. On January 25, 1829, he

 12. A few reminiscences of James M. Scripps by his brother 
 Thomas: 
 
 "James did not receive the same educational advantages as his 
 brothers. He was sent to a school at Brixton kept by a man named 
 Dean, of the Squeers type. He frequently set the boys to weeding his 
 garden, grooming his horse, cleaning his windows, etc., to the neglect 
 of their own studies. So James had scanty opportunities for gaining 
 information. He was scarcely 13 years of age when his father removed 
 from Acre Lane, Brixton, to his place of business, No. 7 South Molton 
 street, and he evinced at that time considerable mechanical talent. 
 At that early age he constructed, unaided, an air-pump, an electrifying 
 machine, and other things. He was also fond of chemistry, and used 
 to amuse himself by making fireworks and air balloons, kites, etc. 
 About this time also he made a pretty little cabinet to contain butter- 
 flies, etc., which his brother William, who was a naturalist, had 
 collected. This cabinet is still preserved in the family. Showing such 
 decided skill and preference for handicrafts of all kinds (he was never 
 fond of book learning) caused his father to apprentice him to a book- 
 binder, an unfortunate thing for James, as there was not sufficient 
 scope in the trade for his talents, which were undoubtedly of no 
 common order. At the age of 14 he was apprenticed to a man named 
 Cook, in Maiden Lane, Covent Garden, with whom he served his term 
 of seven years. He then entered the service of Charles Lewis, the first 
 bookbinder in London at that time, with whom he remained as jour- 
 neyman for two or three years with a salary of four or five pounds 
 per week, unusually high and an additional proof of his superior skill 
 and aptitude. He was about 24 when he began business on his own 
 account at No. 5 South Molton street. 
 
 "In 1826 he accompanied Mr. Tudor on a summer excursion into 
 Shropshire. On the way they stopped at an inn at Biggleswade, 
 Bedfordshire, kept by James's aunt, Mrs. Rawlins, his mother's sister.

 granddaughter of Abraham Mogg, of Bristol, who was 
 born January 21, 1804. 13 The issue by this marriage was:

 83. John Mogg Scripps, b. Nov. 24, 1840. 
 
 Ellen Mary Scripps died April 30, 1841, and is buried in 
 St. George's Burying Ground, Bayswater, London. After 
 emigrating to America, James M. Scripps married, Novem- 
 ber 26, 1841, for his third wife, Julia Adeline Osborn, 
 
 There he met and fell in love at first sight with his cousin Elizabeth 
 Sabey, Mrs. Rawlins's daughter by a former marriage. This lady, who 
 possessed great beauty and sweet and amiable manners, became his 
 wife in 1829. They lived very happily for two years and a half, when 
 Elizabeth died, a month after the birth of her second child." 
 
 13. Elizabeth Saunders, nee Mogg, was, I believe, great-niece to Dr. 
 Edward Jenner, discoverer of vaccination. In early life she became 
 converted in one of Lady Huntingdon's chapels, and throughout life 
 was one of the most pious of women, as were all her daughters. She 
 married Edmund Saunders, who for many years held a position in the 
 Bristol Custom House, which he secured through the influence of Sir 
 Henry Lethbridge, whose bailiff or steward his father had been. He, 
 too, was a man of exemplary piety. Ellen Mary was their eldest 
 daughter and second child. She was confirmed in 1821 in St. James's 
 church, by Dr. Kaye, Bishop of Bristol. She was married at the parish 
 church of Westbury-on-Trim by Rev. John Mais. As her diaries 
 indicate, she was deeply religious, and was a devoted adherent of the 
 evangelical wing of the Church of England. One of her brothers, 
 George L. Saunders, became famous as a miniature painter. 
 
 Ellen Mary Saunders inherited from her mother considerable poet- 
 ical genius, as the following verses, written in 1828, indicate: 
 
 'Tis not the sudden impulse of the mind; 
 'Tis not the fits and starts of conscious fear; 
 But the habitual watching, that shall find 
 The sweet returns of waiting faith and prayer. 
 
 The patient beggar lingers at the door; 
 It is not one repulse can drive him thence; 
 O Christian! Christ's repelling hand has store 
 That he at thy entreaty will dispense. 
 
 As in a bank, concealed from human eye, 
 The Christian's just reward and treasures lie; 
 Supplies from thence, on need, his faith can call, 
 And at the close of life inherit all.

 binding of books in cloth. Upon settling in America he 
 engaged successively in tanning and brick making, then 
 established the first planing mill in Quincy, 111. ; was the

 Sister Anne Elizabeth, as she is known in her community, 
 is today the oldest surviving member of the order. 
 
 39.' John Corrie Talbot Scripps (John, William, 
 William, Robert, Robert, Thomas), born at Jackson, Mo., 
 July 3, 1827. For some years, in connection with his 
 father, he published the Prairie Telegraph at Rushville, 
 then engaged in farming. He was elected, for one or more 
 terms, county clerk for Schuyler county. In 1883 ho 
 removed to De Soto, Iowa, where he died, suddenly, 
 January 4, 1900. He was a skillful farmer and an open- 
 hearted, generous man. He married, June 29, 1854, 
 Emma Truett, who was born at York, Pa., July 31, 1832. 1T 
 Their children were as follows : 
 
 99. Delia Sarah Agnes Scripps, b. June 4, 1855. 
 
 100. Ellen Virginia Scripps, b. Oct. 28, 1857; d. April 9, 1861.

 40. Eliza Agnes Davis Scripps, eldest daughter of 
 John and Agnes (Corrie) Scripps, born at Jackson, Mo., 
 
 17. Emma Truett's father was George Truett, who was born in 
 Dover, Delaware, April 2, 1800, and died in San Francisco, May 2, 1855. 
 He was of English ancestry. Her mother, Sarah Hartman, was born 
 in York, Pa., March 22, 1798, and died in Frederick, 111., September 4, 
 18G7. The Hartmans were among the early Dutch settlers of Pennsyl- 
 vania. In 1839 Mr. Truett moved with his family in wagons from 
 Baltimore, Md., to Pittsburgh, where he took steamer down the Ohio 
 and up the Mississippi to Keokuk. He then selected land on the Des 
 Moines river, about 30 miles above its mouth. The country was at 
 that time new and sparsely settled. A few years later he laid out on 
 his land the city of Portland. It was located at what was intended to 
 be the head of slack-water navigation on the Des Moines, but the 
 improvement of the river was never consummated, and the Des Moines 
 Valley Railway being constructed on the opposite side of the stream, 
 his expectations of Portland becoming a place of importance were not 
 realized. The place is now known as Leando. Later Mr. Truett 
 removed to Quincy, 111., and thence, with the discovery of gold in Cali- 
 fornia, went overland to that country, where he died.

 25. William Locke Scripps removed with his parents from Rushville 
 to Detroit in the spring of 1882. He was distinguishing himself by his 
 rapid progress in the Detroit High School when he was taken out to 
 assist in the family support. For a time he was employed in the mail- 
 ing department of The Evening News, but upon the establishment of 
 the Dime Savings Bank in 1885 he was appointed to a clerkship in it, 
 and soon won the reputation of being one of the most industrious, 
 faithful and trustworthy of its staff. Meanwhile he was earning money 
 in his leisure hours by mowing lawns and conducting an agency for 
 The Evening News. In all this he displayed great business capacity 
 and a commendable ambition to assist his father and lay the founda- 
 tion for his own fortune. He also prosecuted the studies broken off 
 by his leaving school, and was the originator of and one of the most 
 active members in a young men's literary club called the Pros and

 Samuel and Virginia Grace (Scripps) Deacon, born 
 
 30. Mrs. Deacon's grandfather, Hitge, a native of one of the 
 Rhenish provinces, was impressed as a lad into Napoleon's army. The 
 first night he did guard duty he was made a prisoner by the English. 
 Like many others, he availed himself of the option of enlisting in an 
 English regiment. His term of enlistment expired on the day that his 
 regiment during one of the early Kaffir wars was landed in South 
 Africa. He had become a favorite with the officers, and they assisted 
 him to start a supply store in the camp where now stands the Liver- 
 pool of South Africa, Port Elizabeth. He rapidly became wealthy. 
 
 Among the South African settlers in 1820 was a Mrs. Hunt, whose 
 husband had been lost overboard during the voyage. Mr. Hitge 
 befriended her and finally married her. When Port Elizabeth was laid 
 out Hitge was honored with the first choice of a building lot. On this 
 he erected the Red Lion Hotel, which still stands. Being now worth 
 some £30,000, he determined to return to his native country, but about 
 this time the Boers, disgusted with the English government, which had 
 emancipated their slaves, commenced their grand trek to the Trans- 
 vaal, disposing of their farms in Cape Colony. The cheapness of land 
 in consequence of this exodus led Hitge to change his plans, and 
 instead of returning to Europe he bought 200,000 acres of land, upon 
 which he settled his sons. Of this tract Mrs. Deacon's father inherited 
 about 80,000 acres, all grazing lands, which in time was divided between 
 his four sons. The elder Hitge finally retired to the beautiful village 
 of Nitenhage, where he died. He was greatly respected for his strict 
 integrity and high character. 
 
 Mrs. Deacon's maternal grandfather was a Dr. John Younger. He 
 settled in South Africa in 1820, and for many years followed his pro- 
 fession at Nitenhage, where he was very much beloved by all classes 
 for his kindness and generosity. He came of a race of doctors, Mr. 
 Deacon fancies from Plaistow near ^.ondon, as his daughter Plestina 
 Younger's name is understood to have been in some way associated 
 with the doctor's ancestral home.

 tJohn Madison was a younger brother of President James Madison. 
 tJohn Lewis came to the colony of Virginia with a romantic history. Born 
 of well-to-do parents, of Huguenot descent, in 1678, he was In 1730 a lessee of 
 lands in Donegal county, Ireland, held in fee by one Charles, Lord Conmith- 
 garin, a dissolute, overbearing and altogether disreputable nobleman, but 
 possessed of influential family connections. This landlord undertook arbitrarily 
 and forcibly to evict Lewis, and at the head of a body of armed retainers made 
 the attempt. Lewis and his sons made a stout resistance and in the affray

 Lewis was indicted for murder, and all the influences of the landlord interest

 took up the case, collected evidence, submitted it to the Privy Council, and in

 over the Shawnee confederacy under the celebrated Indian Chief Cornstalk. He 
 was Major in Washington's Virginia regiment at the outbreak of the Revolution, 
 and was so highly esteemed by the Father of his Country for courage, skill and 
 chivalrous character that when he became Commander-in-Chief of the Conti- 
 nental army one of his first acts was to recommend Lewis for promotion to the 
 rank of Major-General, to which he was commissioned March 1, 1776. His statue 
 occupies one of the pedestals of the Washington monument in Richmond, Va.

 west. In Colorado he was employed as a railway brakeman, from 
 which position he was promoted to the charge of a water train and 
 later to be yardmaster at Grand Junction. He was a faithful employe 
 and stood high in the esteem of all, from the superintendent of his 
 road to the humblest employe. At the time of the great strike in 1874 
 it was chiefly his influence which kept the men of the Colorado Midland 
 from going out. The cause of his death was a stricture in the intes- 
 tines, caused by an injury received a year before in jumping from a 
 train. He refused to allow his mother to be informed of his illness, but 
 after his death her address was ascertained. The expenses of his 
 funeral were borne by the Order of Railway Trainmen, and the Santa 
 Fe Railway furnished transportation for the body and attendants to 
 Rushville, even arranging with connecting roads for transfers— a thing 
 that company never before did for an employe. He was a fine, manly 
 fellow, and his wife a woman of superior character,

 The Webber family claim to be descended from Anneke Webber, 
 who was born in Holland in 1605, and is said to have been a grand- 
 daughter of William, Prince of Orange. She first married one Roeloff 
 Jans, with whom she migrated to this country, where she received a 
 grant of land, about 192 acres in what is now the heart of New York 
 city. Upon the death of her husband Anneke married Rev. Everardus 
 Bogardus, pastor of one of the Dutch churches in New York, then 
 New Amsterdam. By both husbands she had children. When New 
 7ork was surrendered to the British in 1667 the old Dutch titles were 
 confirmed to the occupants, but later the widow Jans-Bogardus

 born in Detroit May 6, 1882 ; educated at University 
 
 became discontented with British rule and removed to Albany, 
 apparently deserting: her farm on Manhattan Island. Then it appears 
 to have been forfeited to the crown and later was granted by 
 Queen Anne to Trinity church, the only English church then in the 
 city. It is this property which has been the source, with the 
 immense growth of the city, of Trinity's enormous wealth— supposed 
 to be $100,000,000 or more. About 1S72 a movement was set on foot to 
 discover the descendants of Anneke Jans-Bogardus and have them 
 join in a suit for the recovery of the property from the church. In 
 the course of the next seven or eight years numerous meetings were 
 held, committees appointed, much money contributed and some emi- 
 nent lawyers retained, but 1 believe the case never came to trial. 
 Many people looked on the whole movement as a scheme of sharp 
 attorneys to fleece unsuspecting persons bearing names of old Dutch 
 settlers. Suffice it to say Trinity church is still in possession of its 
 millions— probably the richest parish church in the world.

 51. John James Downey Was born in Ireland but was brought at 
 an early age to this country. Losing his parents while still a mere 
 child, he was thrown entirely upon his own resources. Came to 
 Michigan in 1848, and enlisted in 1861, at the outbreak of the civil war, 
 in the 8th Michigan Infantry. His first experience on the battlefield 
 was at the capture of Hilton Head, S. C. On January 1, 1S62, his 
 eighteenth birthday, he participated in the battle of Coosaw River. 
 Subsequently he took part in the siege of Fort Pulaski, April 11, 1862; 
 the battle of Wilmington Island, April 36; James Island, June 16, 
 where of 534 men of the regiment who went into the battle 185 were 
 killed or wounded; Cedar Mountain, Va., August 9; the second battle 
 cf Bull Run, August 28, 29 and 30: Chantilly, September 1, Where he was 
 shot in the head and made prisoner by the Confederates. He was 
 taken to Richmond but paroled. By December of the same year he 
 had recovered sufficiently to rejoin his regiment at Fredericksburg, 
 where he was promoted in the same month for heroic conduct on the 
 field. In January, 1863, he was made postmaster to the 9th Army 
 Corps, which position he held till the re-enlistment of his regiment 
 in 1864. In July, 1863, he was at the siege of Vicksburg, and later at 
 the battle of Jackson, Miss. In December, 1863, he shared in the battle 
 of STrawbcrry Plains near Knoxville, Tenn. In January, 1S64, when 
 the 8th returned to Michigan for re-enlistment, Mr. Downey expected 
 to return to the field with a commission, but was disappointed; he 
 therefore resumed his place in the ranks. On the third day of the 
 battle of the Wilderness, on May 6, 1864, he was shot in the left arm, 
 and while half unconscious from loss of blood was slashed in the 
 breast by a cavalryman who galloped by. This ended bis military 
 experience; and upon recovering from his wounds he was mustered out 
 of the service, having served three full years. He then entered the
