 EVELINA CHRISTINA SNYDER 
 
EARLY MORNING AT PLYMOUTH 
 
 Through grey mist tangled 'midst the wooded hills, 
 A brown-winged warbler, flying as he sings, 
 Stops o'er his grassy nest awhile, then fills 
 The salty air with sweetness, till he brings 
 Remembrances of vanished men and things. 
 
 1 wait to hear him fill the silent vale, 
 And know a soul has come again to earth. 
 Listen ! Beneath his honeyed notes, a tale 
 Of sorrow! 'Tis a Pilgrim's second birth; 
 Old anguish makes rich concord with his mirth. 
 
 Here where his heart pours ecstasies of song, 
 Two centuries ago, he loved and died; 
 Wandered with her the ocean-shore along, 
 And watched with her the star-lit ebbing tide. 
 Those lover-forms lie sleeping side by side. 
 
 Here now he comes with her to nest again, 
 And rear their birdlings near the self-same shore, — 
 To know Love's joy of joys and heart of pain. 
 Lovers immortal, having loved before, 
 Somewhere a peace abides forever more. 
 
 — Fr.vnk W . Gi.NSAi r.rs. 
 To Mr. Seymour Morris. 
 
TUCKER. 
 
 FIRST GENERATION. 
 
 1. MORRIS 1 TUCKER of Salisbury, Mass., was married 
 October 14, 1 66 r, to Elizabeth Stevens, (daughter of John* 
 and Elizabeth Stevens,) who was born November 2, 1639. 
 She died October 16, 1662. 
 
 This is the first mention of the name of Morris Tucker, 
 in the early records of Salisbury. 
 
 His parentage, or date of birth, do not appear of rec- 
 ord. There were several persons of the Tucker name, 
 v/ho settled in New England prior to 1650, but the settle- 
 ment of estates left by them leave no clue to the identity 
 of Morris Tucker. 
 
 In 1663, Morris Tucker married (second) Elizabeth* 
 Gill [daughter of John and Phebe^ (Buswell) Gill], of Salis- 
 bury ; she was born January 8, 1646. 
 
 December 11, 1677, Morris Tucker took the oath of 
 allegiance before Thomas Bradbury, Captain of the Salis- 
 bury Militia, and was made freeman in 1690. His occupa- 
 tion was that of a cooper. 
 
 On January 5, 1663, William Huntington of Salisbury, 
 Mass., deeded for £iS, to Morris Tucker, 30 acres of up- 
 land near Cobler's Brook on the highway leading to Haver- 
 hill. (See appendix "A" for copy of deed.) 
 
 On July 29, 1668, he sold this same tract of land to 
 John Gill, and described himself as a planter. (See appen- 
 dix " B " for copy of deed. ) 
 
 On February 7, 1693, he deeded to his son James 
 Tucker, for i^io, a parcel of upland and swamp in Salis- 
 
 Some of the descendants of Morris Tucker, of ^Salisbury, Mass. 
 are given in Putnam's Historical Magazine, Salem, Mass., Jan. 1885. 
 
 *One of the first settlers of the town, 1639.

 bury, near a place known as Munday Hill, which was 
 granted to him by the commoners of Salisbury.* 
 
 In 1692 Morris Tucker and his wife signed the petition 
 in favor of Mary Bradbury, wife of Capt. Thomas Brad- 
 bury. Mrs. Bradbury, having been tried for witchcraft, 
 was convicted but not executed. 
 
 Morris Tucker made the bricks for the parsonage house 
 built in 1693, and evidences of the old brickyard are to be 
 seen at this day on the farm which he occupied. 
 
 March 28, 1699, Morris Tucker sold land to his son 
 James Tucker. 
 
 He removed to Tiverton, R. I., and is said to have died 
 there.

 Moses would provide for his mxaintainance. He died June

 THIRD GENERATION. 
 
 3. CAPTAIN M0SES3 TUCKER, {Joseph\ Morris^), 
 [youngest son of Joseph* and Phebe' (Page) Tucker], was 
 born in Salisbury, Mass., on March 28, 1704-5. He was 
 married on August 18, 1727, at Haverhill, Mass., to 
 Johannah* Dow {Stephen,* Stephen,^ Thofnas'^), [daughter 
 of Stephen^ and Mary^ (Hutchins) Dow], who was born 
 on September 26, 1709, in Haverhill, Mass. 
 
 On May 3, 1731, Abraham Brown of Salisbury for £1$ 
 sold to Moses Tucker, sadler, a one-fourth part of a forty-acre 
 lot of land in Kingston, N. H., and the same day John Web- 
 ster, of Salisbury, sold to Moses Tucker a half interest in a 
 forty acre lot in the west part of Kingston, near Chester, N. H. 
 
 On Sept. 24, 1746, the inhabitants and freeholders of 
 Kingston voted to set off a certain district of the town into 
 a separate or distinct parish or precinct. Moses Tucker 
 was among the freeholders so set off. 
 
 On February 5, 1757, a Mr. Huse sold land 
 
 in Kingston, N. H., to Moses Tucker. About 1738 Moses 
 Tucker removed to Kingston, N. H., where all of his 
 children (except the eldest) were born. Novembers, 1760, 
 Benjamin Hoar, of Ipswich, N. H., sold to Moses Tucker 
 of the parish of Kingston, town of Sandown, N. H., for 
 the sum of ^250, a certain tract of land in New Ipswich, 
 N. H. In 1762 he was town clerk and selectman. Octo- 
 ber 7, 1768, Moses Tucker, of New Ipswich, for the love 
 and good will to his son Reuben Tucker, of New Ipswich, 
 deeded to him a certain tract of land in New Ipswich. 
 
 February 7, 1769, " Moses Tucker and Reuben Tucker, 
 both of New Ipswich, for five shillings, relinquished to 
 Joseph Tucker of New Ipswich, a husbandman and a minor, 
 under the age of twenty-one, all their right and interest in 
 
THB TUCKER GENEALOGY 
 
 their honored father, Moses Tucker's real estate, late of 
 New Ipswich, gent." 
 
 Nathan Boynton, of a place called New Ipswich, 
 Province of New Hampshire, to ** Moses Tucker of the 
 same place and Province, gentleman, for ^40; sold forty 
 acres of land October 27, 1766.'' 
 
 On Oct. 22, 1762, he, with thirty-seven others, peti- 
 tioned the Governor for authority to levy a special tax to 
 build a meeting house in New Ipswich. 
 
 Moses Tucker removed to Kingston, N. H. , and from 
 there to New Ipswich, N. H. He was an officer in the 
 Indian wars. He died January 6, 1769, aged 66. 
 
 " Moses Tucker was here (New Ipswich) probably before 
 1745. He located on "Town Hill." The house was taken 
 down many years since, and the place is known as the 
 Russell Pasture. He is said to have been a very resolute man, 
 and to have been an officer in some of the French and Indian 
 Wars. It is supposed that this house was fortified and used for 
 the protection of that neighborhood, at the time of the capture 
 of John Fitch and family by the Indians, July 6, 1748. 
 
 "The alarm was so great that all the inhabitants fled, ex- 
 cept Captain Tucker, who, for a while, was the sole occupant 
 of the place. 
 
 "After the incorporation of the town, he was for several 
 years Town Clerk and Selectman. He died Jan. 6, 1769, age 
 65, and was then the oldest man in town. His son Joseph 
 married Martha Woolson; she died 1773, age 22. His son 
 Moses lived near Capt. Woolson's place, now vacant, is slill 
 called 'Tucker's Orchard.' He died in 1792, age 58. Either 
 he or his father owned the farm afterwards occupied by Judge 
 Champney. His daughter Susan married Ithamar Wheelock. 
 His daughter Mary married George Start. 
 
 Amesbury, Mass., was set off from Salisbury in 1654.

 THE TUCKER GENEALOGY 
 
 "It is not known at what period the first military com- 
 pany was organized in town (New Ipswich) but probably as 
 early as 1755, as from that time until 1760 we had an Indian 
 enemy on our borders. It is supposed that Capt. Tucker was 
 the first commander. This is mainly inferred from his having 
 the title of captain, and his known martial ability and 
 courage. 
 
 "Isaac Appleton says the first training he ever witnessed 
 was in 1771, and in the list of officers, Moses Tucker, Jr., is 
 mentioned as one of the corporals."

 FOURTH GENERATION. 
 
 4. REUBEN* TUCKER {Moses^, Joseph^, Morris'^), 
 [son of Moses^ and Johannah* (Dow) Tucker], was 
 born in Kingston, Rockingham County, N. H., June 19, 
 1747. Removed with his parents to New Ipswich, Hills- 
 borough County, N. H., and from there to Townsend, 
 Middlesex County, Mass., where he kept a tavern. While 
 his brother Moses rendered material aid in the cause of 
 American independence, Reuben's sympathies were with 
 the Loyalists. Many families were thus divided. 
 
 He was married on June 4, 1771 to Relief* Farns- 
 worth, {David^, Samuel^, Matkias^), [daughter of Lieut. 
 David^ and Hannah* (Hastings) Farnsworth of Groton], 
 who was born in 1749. 
 
 Dec. 28, 1772, he purchased a tract of fifty acres in 
 Townsend for ;^55, (see appendix *'C" for copy of deed). 
 Aug. 23, 1773, he made another purchase of twenty acres for 
 £2,0 from Benj. Ball. Aug. 29, 1774, Reuben* Tucker sold 
 to Moses* Tucker, sixty-two acres of land, "It being land 
 given him by his honored father, Moses Tucker." About 
 1783 he emigrated to Nova Scotia with his family and 
 settled among the Loyalists, at Sissiboo, where he resided 
 for a short time. He then removed to a farm on the east 
 side of the Grand Joggin, where he resided up to the time 
 of his death. In 1803 he was appointed Justice of the 
 Peace. He died June 12, 1803. 
 
 Shortly after the death of Reuben Tucker the farm was 
 sold to Henry Oakes, who took down the old house and 
 built the one now (1895) standing, in which his grandson, 
 W. W. Payson lives.

20 Tllfc TUCKER GENEALOGY 
 
 The History of Townsend, Mass., says : 
 
 " In addition to all other embarrassments under which 
 the patriotic citizens were laboring, was the discouraging 
 influence of about a dozen men in this town, who were known 
 as tories. These men for more than two years, had clandes- 
 tinely opposed all measures which tended to resist the 
 authority of Great Britain, They were intelligent men, most 
 of them, and they lived on what is known as Wallace 
 Hill, also called by an Indian name. During the time 
 the minute-men were absent, after the alarm was made on 
 the 19th of April, 1775, they were offensively outspoken and 
 disagreeable. It was during this year that it was necessary 
 for every man to "screw his courage up to the sticking 
 point." Public opinion demanded that every able-bodied 
 citizen should give an undivided support to the American 
 cause, or be exposed to popular indignation, to prosecutions 
 before a special Court of Sessions of Peace, to imprisonment, 
 or to a coat of tar and feathers. From that time such persons 
 were watched. Occasionally they were obliged to uncover 
 their heads, and, in presence of the assembled majesty of the 
 town, to promise greater love for the American cause, and a 
 strict conformity to the popular will. 
 
 The patriots were determined to remove every obstacle 
 in the way of success and to ferret out every loyalist who 
 might utter a word against their cause. Accordingly a com- 
 mittee was chosen "to collect evidence of inimical and 
 unfriendly persons agreeable to an act of the Great and 
 General Court," which attended to that duty. 
 
 On the 8th of July, 1776, "Voted that the select-men 
 lay before the town a list of such persons as they think 
 dangerous or unfriendly to this or the United States, or have 
 been so since the 19th of April, 1775; and it was done so. 
 
 "A List of the persons names taken by us the Sub- 
 scribers and presented to the Town of Townshend at a legal 
 town meeting, agreeable to an act of the General Court, 
 entitled an act for securing internal enemies as persons whom

 we consider daugerous and unfriendly to this and the United 
 States of America, is as follows, viz. : 
 
 Isaac Wallis, Joshua Smiih, 
 
 William Wallis, Reuben Tucker, 
 David Holden, Seth Johnson.

 Thos. Warren. 
 James Hosley, Town Clerk." 
 
 Some of the tories were arrested, taken to Townshend 
 Harbor, and confined in a cooper shop, which stood nearly 
 opposite the leather-board mill at that place, where they were 
 guarded by a detachment of soldiers from Captain Douglas' 
 Company, They were fed by their friends and families, dur- 
 ing their imprisonment, which continued more than a month. 
 It is said that as some troops from New Hampshire were 
 passing through tov/n, while viesving the situation of these 
 prisoners, overheard one of them calling them rebels, which 
 so excited these patriots that it was with much difficulty that 
 the guard restrained ihem from firing on the inmates of the 
 shop. 
 
 A part of the Townshend tories, when the excitement was 
 at its height, who were not land owners, precipitantly left the 
 town. The patriots were after them on all sides. 
 
 After the close of the war there was considerable pressure 
 on the part of absente;:s, or runaway tories, from all parts 
 of the country, for ihe privilege of returning to the places 
 that were once their homes. To this the patriots never 
 consented."

 lilac bushes and snowball trees, planted alternately. The 
 lilacs were once trimmed to correspond in shape with the 
 snowballs.

 The town record in 1652 reads : 
 
 "The feoffees agreed with Daniel Welde that he pro- 
 vide convenient benches with forms, with tables for the 
 scholars, and a convenient seate for the schoolmaster, a 
 Deske to put the Dictionary on and shelves to lay up books. " 
 
 The schoolmaster : 
 
 " Promised and engaged to use his. best endeavor both 
 by precept and example to instruct in all Scholastic morall 
 and Theologicall discipline the children so far as they be 
 capable all A. B. C. Darians excepted." 
 
 In 1 68 1 the Roxbury teacher wrote : 
 
 "Of the inconveniences [in the school house] I shall 
 mention no other but the confused and shattered and nastie 
 posture that it is in, not fitting for to reside in, the glass 
 broke, and thereupon very raw and cold; the floor very 
 much broken and torn up to kindle fires, the hearth spoiled, 
 the seats some burned and others out of kilter that one had 
 well-nigh as goods keep school in a hog stie as in it.'' 
 
 In 1654-5 William Cheney was chosen constable, and 
 on Jan. 13, 1656-7 he was chosen as one of the selectmen 
 of the town. His occupation was that ot a planter. 
 
 He was admitted to the church, of which the Rev. 
 John Eliot was pastor, on January 5, 1664-5. 
 
 On May 23, 1666, he was made a freeman. 
 
 He died in Roxbury on the 30th day of June, 1667, at 
 the age of 63, leaving a widow, Margaret, who afterwards 
 married a Mr. Burge. He died before March, 1679-80.

 who stood at his post here for almost sixty years, received 
 303 members into the Church of Christ, and then died in the

 practicing law in Rochester, and removed to Sandwich 
 about 1734, and then to Hardwick about 1753. He was 
 appointed Judge of the Court of Common Pleas in 1756;

 " As* the Revolutionary quarrel progressed he became 
 one of the most violent supporters of the Ministry, and he 
 and Otis, as the leaders of the two opposing parties, were 
 in constant collision in the discussions of the popular branch 
 of the government. 
 
 In 1774 he was named a Mandamus Councillor, which 
 increased his unpopularity to so great a degree that his 
 
 Hardwick is about twenty-thiee miles northwest of Worcester, 
 Mass. On Janunrj- 10, 17,^9, the plantation of Lambstown was ci^tab 
 lished as Hardwick, Worcester County, Mass. The records of town 
 proceedings and the vital records begin in 1734. The First Calvini.«tic 
 (Congregational) Church was organized in 1736, and the parish 
 records cover the years 1736-1900.

 house was attacked at night and his cattle were maimed 
 and poisoned. 
 
 His extensive estates in Hardwick were confiscated, 
 but were made up to him subsequently by the crown, and 
 he went with the royal army to Halifax into perpetual 
 banishment. 
 
 After many vicissitudes incident to his position, in so 
 troubled times, he established his residence in Nova Scotia. 
 On the beautiful site of Digby in that colony he was a 
 proprietor and a settler. 
 
 Gen. Ruggles v^^as a good scholar and possessed powers 
 of mind of a very high order. He was a wit and misan- 
 thrope — a man of rude manners and rude speech. Many 
 anecdotes continue to be related of him in the town of his 
 nativit}^ which show his shrewdness, his sagacity, his mili- 
 tary hardihood and bravery. 
 
 It is said that on one occasion in stern derision of the 
 constitution of the Court, he reprimanded a dog, sitting 
 beside his master, for coming there to vote, or appearing on 
 the bench before he had been qualified as justice of the 
 peace. The court at the time was composed of all the 
 justices of the peace in the county. 
 
 As a lawyer he was an impressive pleader, and in 
 parliamentary debate able and ingenious. In the expedi- 
 tion to Crown Point in 1755 he was Colonel under Sir 
 William Johnson; in the battle of Lake George, the same 
 year, was second in command to Baron Dieskau, and was 
 distinguished in the action, for which he was rewarded b}^ 
 the gift of a lucrative position. He remained in the army 
 until 1760, the last three years was Brigadier General under 
 Lord:Amhurst. He represented Hardwick several years in 
 the Legislature, and was speaker of the House in 1762-63.'

 GENERAL TIMOTHY RUGGLES. * 
 
 *'He graduated in 1732, being then just twenty-one 
 years of age, and on leaving college he at once proceeded 
 to the study of the law. He had not been at the bar long be- 
 fore he was elected to a seat in the Massachusetts Assembly, 
 in which he was instrumental in the passage of an act still 
 in force, to prohibit sheriffs filling writs. In his profes- 
 sional as well as his legislative capacity, he soon gave evi- 
 dence of a degree of ability far above mediocrity, and it 
 was not a very long time before he found himself occupying 
 a high place at the bar of his native province, and taking 
 high rank among the most fluent, finished and forcible 
 speakers in the halls of its Legislature. 
 
 " Speaking of the estimation in which he was held in his 
 profession, a writer of some note tells us : ' His reputa- 
 tion was so great that he was early and frequently employed 
 in the adjoining counties of Barnstable and Bristol, and 
 was the principal antagonist of Colonel Otis in causes of 
 importance.' t About this time (1740-1745), he removed 
 from Rochester to Sandwich, where he prosecuted his 
 profession with constantly increasing reputation until 1757, 
 when he was made a Justice in the Court of Common 
 Pleas. Five years later he was gazetted Chief Justice in 
 that court, a place which he held acceptably until the 
 beginning of that great revolution which ultimately drove 
 him into exile and comparative poverty. The Seven Years' 
 War — 1756 to 1763, which was terminated by the treaty of 
 Hubertsburg and of Paris in the latter year, raged violently 
 on this continent; the old colonies, particularly Massa- 
 chusetts, lending every possible aid to the mother country 
 in her attempts to curb or destroy the power of France in 
 America. In 1756, and almost immediately before Mr. 
 Ruggles' appointment to the bench, he accepted a Colonel's

 commission in the forces raised by his native province for 
 service on the frontiers of Canada. In the campaign which 
 followed, he served under the command of Sir Wilhain 
 Johnson, and did good service in the expedition against 
 Crown Point, and in September of the same year he was 
 second in command under that leader at the battle of Lake 
 George, in which the French under Baron Dieskau met a 
 signal defeat, after very severe and obstinate fighting, in 
 which he distinguished himself for coolness, courage and 
 ability, and so highly were his services esteemed on that 
 occasion that he was promoted to the position of General 
 of Brigade, and placed under the command of the Com- 
 mander-in-Chief. In 1758 he commanded the Third 
 Division of the Provisional troops under Abercrombie, in 
 the unsuccessful attack upon Ticonderoga, which was de- 
 fended by Montcalm, who resisted all the efforts of the 
 English, defeating them with a loss of 550 killed and nearly 
 1,400 wounded. Brigadier Ruggles also served with dis- 
 tinction and credit in the campaign of 17 59-1 760, under 
 Amherst. In the winter of 1762, while the belligerent 
 forces on both sides were in winter quarters, he had the 
 honor to be chosen Speaker of the House of Represen- 
 tatives, 
 
 "The conduct of Mr. Ruggles as a militarv commander 
 has been highly praised by most competent judges. The 
 writer, whom I have before quoted, and who was in a posi- 
 tion to be well informed, says on this head : ' Few men 
 in the province were more distinguished, and few more 
 severely dealt with in the bitter controversies preceding the 
 Revolution. As a military officer he was distinguished for 
 cool bravery and excellent judgment and science in the art of 
 war, and no provisional officer was held in higher esteem for 
 those qualities. His appearance was commanding and digni- 
 fied, being much above the common size; his wit v/as ready 
 and brilliant; his mind clear, comprehensive and penetrating; 
 his judgment was profound and his knowledge extensive; 
 
THE TUCKER GENEALOGY 75 
 
 his abilities as a public speaker placed him among the first 
 of the day; and had he been so fortunate as to have 
 embraced the popular sentiments of the times, there is no 
 doubt he would have ranked among the leading characters 
 of the Revolution.' 
 
 " The war having terminated in 1760, his military serv- 
 ices were no longer required, and he at once exchanged his 
 military uniform for his barrister's gown and resumed the 
 practice of his profession. About this time, 1753, he re- 
 moved from Sandwich to Hardwick, where he built a 
 dwelling so substantial that it is said to exist to the 
 present day. During the following eight or ten years I 
 have only occasional glimpses of him. I have already said 
 he was Speaker of the House of Representatives in 1762, 
 and following years, and that he was at the same time Chief 
 Justice of the Common Pleas. * As the disputes and dis- 
 tractions which were ultimately to culminate in war, grew 
 to volume and virulence, and the people began to take 
 sides, there was no doubt as to the party to which 
 Mr. Ruggles intended to attach himself. By pen and 
 tongue, in the halls of the Legislature, and on the plat- 
 form, he declared against rebellion and bloodshed. Says a 
 writer of the period : ' In consequence of the grievous 
 exations of the British Government, delegates were chosen 
 by the Legislature to meet the delegates from the other 
 colonies, at New York, to seek out some public relief from 
 immediate and threatened evils by a representation of their 
 sufferings to *' the King and Parliament." Mr. Ruggles was 
 chosen as one of the delegates, on the part of Massa- 
 chusetts, and was also elected ' President of that cele- 
 brated Congress of distinguished men from nine of the 
 colonies.' He openly dissented from the resolves passed 
 by the Congress, over whose proceedings he presided, and 
 
 * About this time he was appointed " Surveyor-General of the 
 King's Forests," "an office of profit attended with little labor.'' 
 This was a reward for his military services. 
 
76 THE TUCKER GENEALOGY 
 
 thus not only incurred their displeasure, but the ant^'er of 
 the Assembly which had chosen him to represent them as a 
 delegate, for we are told that he ' was censused by the 
 House of Representatives, and reprimanded by the Speaker 
 in his place.' 
 
 "When the appeal to arms had been finally decided on 
 by the American people, the popular excitement was at a 
 fearful height, and all those who had counselled modera- 
 tion, either in demand or action, were declared to be 
 enemies to their country and traitors to the cause of liberty, 
 and as such worthy of death. No man in Massachusetts 
 was regarded as so inimical to the cause of rebellion as 
 General Ruggles, whose known and recognized ability,. 
 great energy and unflinching courage made him an object 
 of fear as well as dislike; and, to crown his unpopularity, 
 he was made a Mandamus Councillor, a position which he 
 accepted at the hands of the Crown, and for which he 
 qualified himself in due form, notwithstanding all the in- 
 fluences brought to bear upon him to prevent him doing so. 
 This last fact was deemed a defiance, on his part, of the 
 powers of the rebels, and they proceeded to denounce him 
 as a malignant, and openly threatened his life. In con- 
 sequence of this violence he was forced, with his family, 
 and such of his neighbors as remained loyal to the mother 
 country, to seek safety and refuge with the British forces in 
 Boston. On the evacuation of that city Mr. Ruggles went 
 with it, and was, I believe, in Long Island during its 
 operations against the rebel forces in that direction, but I 
 have failed to discover many particulars concerning his life 
 and doings at this time. In 1783 I find him an exile from 
 his native province in his old age, but still as vigorous as he 
 was loyal. He was living in the county in that year, and 
 at Digby or Annapolis. He had made an application for a 
 grant of land in that portion of the province, in the early 
 part of the year, as will more fully appear from the letter 
 which the Surveyor-General addressed to him under date oi 
 July 2 in that year." 
 
THE TUCKER GENEALOGY 77 
 
 Mr. Morris' letter was as follows : 
 
 ' Sir : I am directed by Governor Parr to assure you 
 he will pay every attention to your application for ten thou- 
 sand acres of land, being fully convinced of your merit, and 
 sensible of the many niisfortunes you have suffered in the 
 late unhappy contest. He is apprehensive that the lands 3^ou 
 mention will, in some degree, interfere with the present settle- 
 ment forming there, and has directed me to point out other 
 land for you. I therefore beg leave to recommend land 
 to the eastward of Granville, and to the northward of the 
 farms settled in Wilmot; that is to say, between those farms 
 and the B ly of Fundy. This land is said, by those who 
 know it best, to be among the finest in the Province, and the 
 increasing settlement in Wilmot (adds to) the value of it 
 every day. 
 
 * I hope, after inquiring into the matter, you will accept 
 of a location in some part of this tract, or in some of the 
 lands on the back of Annapolis, whicli have been represented 
 to be extremely good, and which have been applied for by 
 many persons, but not yet assigned to anyone. Mr. William.s 
 has a grant of 1,500 acres somewhere thereabouts; he will 
 give you every necessar}' information in these matters I 
 have to entreat the favor of a line from you in answer as soon 
 as you can be informed in which tract to chose. I have the 
 honor to be,' etc., etc. 
 
 ' 'On the 19th of the same month, the Surveyor-General 
 having received a reply from General Ruggles, to the fore- 
 going letter, wrote to him again in the terms following : 
 
 'Sir: I have been honored with the favor of jour 
 letter, delivered me by Colonel Small, and have si.icc liad 
 frequent opportunities of talking with the Governor upon 
 your particular situation, and the great desire you have to 
 procure something permanent for your family. He has given 
 me in writing the following directions : To assure General 
 Ruggles, and all other Loyalists applying for land, that he 
 wishes to accommodate all of them as much as is in his power, 
 but from the vast numbers who have already come, and are 
 
78 THE TUCKER GENEALOGY 
 
 continually coming to settle in the Province, he finds it 
 indispensably necessar}' to postpone an}' further arrangement 
 until he receives His Majesty's instructions upon the subject. 
 Agreeing with you that 'the primar}' object of Government 
 is, and ought to be, the settling of the colony, and next to 
 that, to extend donations to such as have suffered most,' he 
 has directed me to assure you that as soon as His Majesty's 
 pleasure is made known in respect to these matters, that you 
 are the foremost to receive what favor and indulgence it may 
 be his power to give. 
 
 'Messrs. Botsford, Hauser and Cummings were recom- 
 mended to Sir Andrew Hammond by General Carleton, in the 
 strongest terms possible, as agents for a number of Loyalists 
 who came with them, and others that were to come, and 
 interested Sir Andrew to exert himself in their behalf. In 
 consequence of this recommendation, and a repetition of it 
 to Governor Parr, the Government upon their recommenda- 
 tion gave me orders — a copy of which I enclose you — by 
 which you will see that all the land from Annapolis to 
 St. Mary's Bay and around the Bay to the Cape and 
 to Yarmouth, before unappropriated, were desired to be 
 laid out in fifty acre farm lots, and proper town plots, 
 for the reception of the Loyalists. Under this order my 
 deputies* are at present acting. For these reasons I was 
 induced to take the liberty, with the Governor's appro- 
 bation, to recommend other lands to you; and I beg leave 
 again to assure you, sir, that either of the tracts I recom- 
 mended are far superior lands to any in the above districts, and 
 all persons of any knowledge of the country, and of these 
 tracts in particular, will join me in this opinion. There have 
 been many applications for that back of Annapolis, in par- 
 ticular, by our old inhabitants, who have frequent opportuni- 
 ties of searching out the best. I hope, therefore, you will, 
 after having a share for yourself and family, accept of the 
 remainder in one of those places proposed, or in any other 
 part of the Province where it could be located to your

 ' I have received a letter from Mr. Watson * and other 
 friends in New York, recommending you in a particular man- 
 ner, and our worthy friend, Colonel Small, has said so much 
 on your behalf that I hold myself bound by every tie of

 "General Ruggles finally determined to accept his grant 
 in the township of Wilmot, and it is probable, though not 
 certain, that he commenced clearing his lands in 1784. 
 The spot he selected for his new dwelling house was on the 
 face of and near the top of North Mountain, which, during 
 his lifetime and for a few years afterwards, bore the name 
 of "Ruggles Mountain," but after the commencement of 
 the century, and to this day, it has been better known as 
 the " Phinney Mountain." from the late Lot Phinney, who 
 became the purchaser of the property on the occasion of its 
 sale on the death of Mr. Ruggles. 
 
 " I regret that the Morris-Ruggles correspondence is so 
 meagre and that the letters of the latter are entirely want- 
 ing. I am induced to add one more short note of Mr. 
 Morris to the General, because it contains references of 
 interest. Under date of Sept. 14, 1783, he says: 'I 
 have the honor to receive your favor of the 2nd iiist., 
 enclosing a sketch of the lands you wish to obtain. The 
 1,300 acres is pre engaged — all the other tracts may be 
 granted you, and in lieu of this engaged I shall, in the 
 description of the grant, extend the western line of the

 oblong square to the line of Arbuthnot's, and the western 
 boundary to the Bay of Fundy, which will then contain 
 10,000 acres, with ample allowances. * * * * The 
 King's fine of ten shillings for ever}^ hundred acres, I sup- 
 pose, will be remitted. I will make a return of your 
 grant as soon as I hear that you approve of what I now 
 propose.' 
 
 " In the following year the grant was issued, and the 
 undismayed grantee commenced a labor at the age of more 
 than seventy years which few, if any, of the young men of 
 to-day would voluntarily undertake. The work of chopping 
 down the forests and clearing the lands for crops, and of 
 preparation for building went on simultaneously and rapidly 
 under his direction. Two young men, :j: Stronach and 
 Fales, were engaged to work with him for a limited number 
 of years, and to receive their pay in land. They did their 
 work, and he paid them as agreed upon, and their descend- 
 ants are now the owners and occupiers of many a fair home 
 in the beautiful township of Wilmot. 
 
 "It was the hands of these men that excavated the 
 noble cellar over which the old Loyalist erected his new 
 mansion - — their hands it was which prepared the land on 
 which an orchard of apple trees was soon planted, and it 
 was their hands also which planted it. Their orders were 
 to dig this piece of ground — say about an acre — three feet 
 deep, and to throw out every root and stone from it. The 
 trees were brought from Massachusetts, and when planted 
 formed the first orchard in that section of the country. 
 Some of the trees, I believe, are still in bearing. Nearly 
 south from the position of the house is a deep gulch in the 
 mountain side, formed, probably, by the gradual washing 
 away of a wedge of magnesian limestone which once filled 
 it. In this vault, as it was generally called, and which was 
 sheltered on all sides except the south, Mr. Ruggles in-

 troduced many exotic plants, among others peaches, grapes 
 and quinces, and more than one black walnut tree. 
 
 ' ' The General's four daughters were married before 
 the Revolution broke out, and all their husbands probably 
 adhered to the Colonial side, for they never came to Nova 
 Scotia. Three of his sons followed him into exile and 
 settled in that country. These were Timothy, John and 
 Richard, who also married before their advent to the 
 country. 
 
 •'General Ruggles was afflicted with hernia, and tradi- 
 tion affirms that about the beginning of August, 1795, he 
 accompanied some visiting friends to his ' vault ' garden 
 before alluded to, and that in clambering up its deep steep 
 sides he so aggravated the disease that it terminated his life 
 four days afterwards, at the advanced age of eighty years. 
 I conclude the memoir of the famous old Loyalist by copy- 
 ing the concluding part of the obituary notice of him which 
 appeared in the 'Royal Gazette' in August, 1795, and 
 which was presumably written by the late John Wiswall, 
 who officiated at his obsequies : 
 
 ' The idea that his advanced age would not permit 
 him to reap the fruit of his labors never dampened the 
 spirit of improvement by which he was, in a most eminent 
 degree, animated; and the district of country in which he 
 lived will long feel the benefits resulting from the liberal 
 exertions he made to advance the agricultural interests of 
 the Province.' 
 
 ' It may not be without use to remark that for much 
 the greater part of his life he ate no animal food and drank 
 no spirituous or fermented liquors, small beer excepted, 
 and that he enjoyed health to his advanced age.' 
 
 " He was buried to the eastward of the chancel of the 
 (then new) church, lately known as the ' Pine Grove 
 Church,' in central Wilmot — near the present village of 
 Middleton — a church toward the erection of which he was 
 a considerable contributor,"

 DUDLEY, 
 
 GOVERNOR THOMAS DUDLEY, son of Captain 
 Roger Dudley, was born in Northampton, England, in 1576. 
 
 He came to America in the "Arabella," and on 
 June 12, 1630, arrived in Salem, Mass. It is said that : 
 " He came to the deserts of America for the sake of enjoy- 
 ing his liberty to the utmost of what he desired.'' 
 
 On March 12, 1630-1, Thomas Dudley wrote a letter 
 from Boston to the Countess of Lincoln, giving a narrative 
 of the early settlement of the Colony of Massachusetts Bay. 
 The letter reads : 
 
 * " Touching the plantation which we here have begun, it 
 fell out thus : About the year 1627, some friends being 
 together in Lincolnshire, fell into discourse about New Eng- 
 land and the planting of the gospel there, and after some 
 deliberation we imparted our reasons by letters and messages 
 10 some in London and the west country, where it was like- 
 wise deliberately thought upon, and at length, with often 
 
 egotiation so ripened that, in 1628, we procured a patent 
 from his Majesty for our planting between the Massachusetts 
 Bay and Charles River on the south, and the river of Merri- 
 mack on the north, and three miles on either side of those 
 rivers and bay; as also for the government of those who did 
 or should inhabit within that compass. And the same year 
 we sent Mr. John Endecott, and some with him, to begin a 
 plantation and to strengthen such as he should find there 
 which we sent thither from Dorchester and some places 
 adjoining, from v;hom, the same year, receiving hopeful news, 
 the next year, 1629, we sent divers ships over, with about three 
 hundred people, and some cows, goats and horses, many of 
 which arrived safely. 
 
 " These, by their too large commendations of the country 
 and the commodities thereof invited us so strongly to go on, 
 that Mr. Winthrop, of Suffolk (who was well known in his 
 own country, and well approved here for his piety, liberality, 
 
 * Authority : Drake, Francis S. The Town of Roxbury, Mass, 
 <Roxbury, 1878}, pp. 6 to 9. 
 
86 THE TUCKr.R GENEALOGY 
 
 wisdom and gravity), coming in to us, we came to such reso- 
 lution that in April, 1630, we set sail from old England with 
 four good ships, and in May following, eight more followed; 
 two having gone before in February and March, and two more 
 following in June and August, besides another set out by a 
 private merchant. 
 
 " These seventeen ships arrived all safe in New England 
 for the increase of the plantation here this year, 1630, but 
 made a long, a troublesome, and costly voyage, being all 
 wind bound long in England, and hindered v/ith contrary 
 winds after they set sail, and so scattered with mists and 
 tempests that few of them arrived together. Our four ships, 
 which set out in April, arrived here in June and Jul}', where 
 we found the colony in a sad and unexpected condition, above 
 eighty of them being dead the v/inter before, and many of 
 those alive being weak and sick; all the corn and bread 
 amongst them all hardly sufficient to feed them a fortnight, 
 insomuch that the remainder of one hundred and eighty 
 servants we had the two years before sent over, coming to us 
 for victuals to sustain them, we found ourselves wholly unable 
 to feed them, whereupon necessity enforced us toourextteme 
 loss to give them all liberty who had cost us about sixteen or 
 twenty pounds a person, furnishing and sending over. 
 
 " But, bearing these things as we might, we began to 
 consult of the place of our sitting down, for Salem, where 
 we landed, pleased us not, and to that purpose some were 
 sent to the Bay to search up the rivers for a convenient place, 
 who, upon their return, reported to have found a good place 
 upon Mistick; but some other of us found a place liked us 
 better, three leagues up Charles River and thereupon we 
 shipped our goods into other vessels, and with much cost and 
 labor brought them, in July, to Charlestown; but there 
 receiving advertisements by some of the late arrived ships 
 from London and Amsterdam of some French preparations 
 against us (many of our people brought with us being sick of 
 fevers and the scurvy, and we thereby unable to carry up our 
 ordnance and baggage so far), we were forced to change 
 counsel, and for our present shelter to plant dispersediy; 
 some at Charlestown, some at Boston, some of us upon 
 
I'HE TUCKER GENEALOGY 87 
 
 Mistick, which we named Medford, some of us westward on 
 Charles River, four miles from Chariestown, which place we 
 named Watertown; others of us two miles from Boston, in a 
 place we named Roxbary; others upon the river of Saugus, 
 between Salem and Chariestown, and the western men four 
 miles south of Boston, at a place we named Dorchester. 
 
 " This dispersion troubled some of us, but help it we 
 could not, wanting ability to remove to any place lit to build 
 a town upon, and the time too short to deliberate any longer 
 lest the winter should surprise us before we had builded our 
 houses. The best counsel we could find out was, to build a 
 fort to retire to in some convenient place, if any enemy 
 pressed us thereunto, after we should have fortified ourselves 
 against the injuries of wet and cold. So ceasing to consult 
 further at that time, they who had health to labor fell to 
 building, wherein many were interrupted with sickness, and 
 many died weekly, yea, alniost daily, among whom were Mrs. 
 Pynchon, Mrs, Coddington, Mrs. Phillips, and Mrs. Alcock, 
 a sister of Mr. (Rev. Thomas) Hooker's. Insomuch that the 
 ships being now upon their return, there was, as I take it, not 
 much less than one hundred which returned back again, and 
 glad were we so to be rid of them. The ships being gone, 
 vituals wasting, and mortality increasing, we held divers fasts 
 in our several congregations. And of the people who came 
 over with us from the time of their setting sail from England 
 in April, 1630, until December following, there died two 
 hundred at the least, so low hath the Lord brought us. 
 
 " Well, yet they who survived were not discouraged, but 
 bearing God's corrections with humility, and trusting in his 
 mercies, and considering how after a low ebb he had raised up 
 our neighbors at Plymouth, we began again in December to 
 consult about a fit place to build a town upon, leaving all 
 thoughts of a fort because upon any invasion we were neces- 
 sarily to lose our houses when we should retire thereinto; so 
 after divers meetings at Boston, Roxbury and Watertown, on 
 December 28th we grew to the resolution to bind all the assist- 
 ants to build houses at a place a mile east from Watertown, 
 near Charles River, the next spring, and to winter there the 
 next year; that so by our examples and by removing the 
 
88 THE TUCKER GENEALOGY 
 
 ordnance and munitions thither, all who were able might be 
 drawn thither, and such as shall come to us hereafter to their 
 advantage be compelled so to do, and so, if God would, a 
 fortified town might there grow up, the place fitting reasonably 
 well thereto. 
 
 " Half of our cows, and almost all our mares and goats, 
 died at sea in their passage hither, which, together with the 
 loss ofour six months' building, occasioned by our intended 
 removal to a town to be fortified, weakened our estates, espe- 
 cially the estates of the undertakers, who were ^3,000 to 
 ^4,000, engaged in the joint stock which was not now above 
 so many hundreds 
 
 " If any come hither to plant for worldly ends that can 
 live well at home, he commits an error of which he will soon 
 repent him; but if for spiritual, and no particular obstacle 
 hinder his removal, he may find here what may well content 
 him, viz.: materials to build, fewel to burn, ground to plant, 
 seas and rivers to fish in, a pure air to breathe in, good water 
 to drink till wine or beer can be made. ... If there be 
 any endued with grace and furnished with means to feed 
 themselves and theirs for eighteen months, and to build and 
 plant, let them come into our Macedonia and help us. 
 
 " Upon the 25th of this March, one of Watertown hav- 
 ing lost a calf, and about ten of the clock at night hearing 
 the howling of some wolves not far off, raised many of his 
 neighbors out of their beds, that by discharging their muskets 
 near about the place where he heard the wolves, he might so 
 put them to flight and save his calf. The wind carrying the 
 report of the muskets to Roxbury, three miles off, at such a 
 time, the inhabitants there took an alarm, beat up their 
 drum, armed themselves, and sent in post to us at Boston to 
 raise us also. So in the morning, the calf being found safe, 
 the wolves affrighted, and our danger past, we went merrily 
 to breakfast." 
 
 Gov. Thomas Dudley settled in Newtown, (now 
 Cambridge), Mass. About 163 1 he removed to Ipswich, 
 Mass., and in 1642 located at Roxbury, Mass.

 * "The first houses were of one story, with very steep 
 roofs, mostly built either of clay and mud, or hewn lop,s, 
 covered with poles and thatch. The chimneys, which were 
 usually in the centre of the building, were commonly of 
 rough stone and clay, or of pieces of wood placed crosswise, 
 the interstices and outside covered with clay. The fire- 
 places, made of rough stone, were broad and deep, and 
 were large enough for burning logs four feet long. They 
 had huge fireplaces on either side of the entrance, and in 
 the back kitchen. The hearths were large, with capacious 
 ingles for a seat, from which gleamed the sky overhead. 
 These houses usually contained bat one room, about twenty 
 feet square. The roof may have been of shingles and 
 boards, thatch having been prohibited in consequence o^ 
 frequent conflagrations. 
 
 "Not long after came frame buildings of two stories in 
 front, sloping down to one in the rear. They almost with- 
 out exception faced south. Frames, and often the planking 
 and boards, were of heavy oak. The general room of the 
 family was long and spacious, lighted on two sides, the 
 others opening into the lean-to or shed. The windows, 
 which were very small and opened on hinges, were some- 
 times of oiled paper or mica, but generally of diamond 
 panes of glass, three or four inches broad, set in lead. 
 
 ' ' Houses of the period of Philip's War, when of wood, 
 had their second floors project a foot or two, that their 
 occupants might, if molested, through openings for the 
 purpose, fire or pour hot water upon their assailants. The 
 houses of Col. Joseph Williams and of John Pierpont, of 
 Roxbury, were of this description. Very few houses were 
 painted, even at the close of the seventeenth century. 
 The third period of New England architecture saw the 
 advent of the gambrel roof, with dormer-windows similar 
 to the mansard style."

 HOWLAND. 
 
 JOHN ROWLAND, (a son of Humphrey Howland.^ 
 a draper of London), was born in i 592, He was one of 
 the younger men who came to America on the " May- 
 flower " in 1620. 
 
 Speaking of the voyage Governor Bradford says : 
 
 " In sundrie of these stormes the winds were so feirce, & 
 ye seas so high, as they could not bear a knote of saile, bu 
 were forced to bull, for diverce days togither, and in one of 
 them, as they thus lay at hull, in a moighty storme, a hustie 
 younge man (called John Rowland), coming upon some 
 occasion above y® grattings, was, with a scale of y^ shipe 
 thrown into [y^] sea; but it pleased God y* he caught hould 
 of ys top saile halliaids, which hunge overboard, & rane out 
 at length; yt he held his hould (though he was sundrie 
 fadoraes under water) till he was hald up by ye same rope to 
 }<j brime of y*- water, and then with a boat hooke & other 
 means got into y^ shipe again & his life saved; and though he 
 was something ill with it, yet he lived many years after, and 
 became a profitable member both in church & comone wealthe. " 
 
 He was the thirteenth signer of the famous "Com- 
 pact " which was executed in the cabin of the Mayflower, 
 Provincetown harbor, November 21, 1620. 
 
 He was a member of Gov. Carver's family. Later 
 events showed that Gov. Carver's high estimate of the man 
 was well placed, for John Howland afterwards took a 
 prominent part in the affairs of the Colony. John How- 
 land settled in Plymouth at a place called " Rocky Nook." 
 
 Prior to 1624 he was married in Plyjgiouth to Eliza- 
 beth* Tiiley (daughter of John Tilley). She was born 
 about 1607. 
 
 * Humphrey Howland died in 164O. His will was proved Feb. 
 10, 1646. He had three sons — Arthur, Henry and John.

 "John Tilley and his wife both dyed, a litle after 
 they came ashore; and their daughter, Elizabeth, marled 
 with John Howland and hath. Isae as before noted." 
 
 The name of the wife of John Tilley is in doubt, and 
 while there has been a tradition that she was a daughter of

 at Great Meadow Creek. 
 
 John Tilley and his wife both died during the spring of

 SECOND GENERATION. 
 
 - THOMAS « GILBERT (son of John^ and Winifred 
 Gilbert), was born in England. 
 
 He settled with his parents in Dorchester and later 
 removed to Taunton. 
 
 " Thomas Gilbert & Jane Rossiter of Taunton, married 
 the xxiijth of March 1639." She was a daughter of Hugh 
 Rossiter of Dorchester. 
 
 Governor Winthrop, in his " History of New Eng- 
 land," has given an account of Thomas Gilbert in the follow- 
 ing official statement : 
 
 "In the Eighth month, August 18, 1636, Thos. Gil- 
 bert was brought before us. He was drunk at Sargeant 
 Boulston's and the constable being sent for, he struck him. 
 
 " He was kept in prison all night and the next day his 
 father, John Gilbert, and his brother John Gilbert of 
 Dorchester undertook in ;^40 that John Gilbert the 
 younger would appear at Court to answer for him and per- 
 form the order of the Court, etc. The reason was, that he 
 was to go to England presently and not to be known to 
 have been in any way disordered, and was his father's 
 oldest son, who was a grave honest gentleman, etc. They 
 did undertake, also that he should acknowledge his fault 
 openly to the constable, etc. It is well that we have the 
 testimony from the record, that this was a most surprisingly 
 extraordinary incident in the history of Thos. Gilbert, not 
 known to have been in any way disordered, in such an 
 unseemly manner, is an inference from that fact, that the 
 good people of Taunton, of rigid Puritan practice, elected 
 Tho?. Gilbert in 165 i to the General Court."

 BRADFORD. 
 
 FIRST GENERATION. 
 
 GOVERNOR WILLIAM! BRADFORD [son of Will- 
 iam and Alice (Hanson) Bradford], was born in Austerfield, 
 England, and was baptized in St. Helen's Church, Auster- 
 field, on March 19, 1589. He married (first), in England, 
 Dorothy May. 
 
 He inherited a yoeman's freehold. 
 
 He joined the Separatist Church, established in 1606, 
 by William Brewster at Scrooby Manor, and by so doing 
 incurred the ill feeling and hostility of his relatives and 
 neighbors. The company emigrated to Holland and made 
 an agreement with a Dutch captain to embark at Boston, 
 England, but the skipper betrayed them to the authorities, 
 and some were imprisoned, others released. 
 
 St. Helen's Church, Austerfield, was built more than seven hundred years 
 ago by John de Builli, who was one of William the Conqueror's most trusted 
 followers. It consists of a nave and chancel divided by a Norman Arch. The 
 windows (one of which contains some very ancient fragments of stained 
 glass), are insertions of a later age. The old south doorway in the porch is a 
 very curious and excellent specimen of the early Norman period. It is flanked 
 on each side by two pillars supporting an arch with the zigzag molding typical 
 of early Norman architecture, whilst in the tympanum is a rude figure of a 
 dragon. 
 
 In this Church William Bradford was baptized, and on the Parish Register 
 is the entry of his baptism. The entry is theJast at the bottom of the page 
 and reads as follows : 
 
 " William, son of William Bradfourth, baptized the XlXth day of March 
 anno dm 1589." '\ 
 
 It was at this Church that he doubtless worshipped with his parents when 
 a child, and it was whilst living in this village that he became acquainted with 
 William Brewster, who lived only three miles away in the neighboring village 
 of Scrooby. 
 
 About 1895 an effort was made to restore this Church to its original 
 architecture, and subscriptions were solicited from Governor Bradford's de- 
 scendants in America. The Society of Mayflower Descendants in the State of 
 New York made a liberal donation, and the restoration was completed. 
 
 The old baptismal font of this Church was brought to America about 
 i890, and placed in the New England Congregational Church, Chicago. 
 
138 THE TUCKER GENEALOGY 
 
 A few months later Bradford escaped from prison, and 
 early in 1608 joined his friends in Holland. 
 
 Here he became a silk weaver. 
 
 The following interesting article was recently published 
 by the Cape Cod Pilgrim Memorial Association, the sketch 
 being selected and abridged from Goodwin's " Pilgrim 
 Republic : " 
 
 Conformists — Puritans— Separatists. 
 
 The Protestant population of England during the latter half of the 
 sixteenth century (1550-1600). had divided into three sects — the Conformists, 
 the Puritans, and the Separatists or Brownists. The Conformists claimed for 
 their church more than human authority and for its earthly head supreme power 
 in the State as well as in the Church. 
 
 The Puritans were in and of the established church but objected to many 
 of the ceremonies, such as the ring- in marriage, the sign of the cross irt 
 baptisms, showy vestments, receiving evil livers to the communion. They 
 believed in reform within the church and opposed separation from the church 
 as a deadly sin. Their ministers were oppressed and ruined by excessive fines. 
 The sharp measures against the Puritan clergy called together in defense of 
 liberty and law a great political party which during the refgn of James I. (1602- 
 1625) formed the majority in the House of Commons. The settlers of Massa- 
 chusetts Bay were Puritans — Non-Conformists who at the outset bad apparently 
 no intention of separating from the Church of England. 
 
 The Separatists, however, did not recognize the established church, and 
 some of them, at least, doubted that the Church of England was scriptual or 
 that its administrations were valid. They held that any convenient number of 
 believers might fonn a church and make or unmake their officers as they saw 
 fit; that over the spiritual affairs of the church no bishop, council, synod, 
 court, or sovereign had authority. Other churches of the same faith might 
 not, unasked, even offer advice. Their pastors bad no standing outside the 
 parish. They were Separatists, Independents, or Congregationalists. The 
 first independent church in England, however, was opened in London in 1616 
 by the Rev. John Lothrop, afterwards the famous pioneer preacher of Barn- 
 stable, Mass., who had been won from Puritanism to Separatism by I^obinson- 
 in Holland. ; " 
 
 The Separatists, though few in number, were cruelly persecuted under 
 Mary (1553-1558). In 1567-1569, under Elizabeth, a London congregation 
 was thrown into prison. The men and women died of the horrors of their 
 prisons. They were allowed while in prison neither clothing or food, and 
 subsisted upon donations that came through their jailers. The lew Puritans 
 who were thrown into prison were mostly clergymen, whose prison life was

THE TUCKER GENEALOGY 139 
 
 On Sept. 5, 1620, William Bradford and his wife left 
 their only child John in England, and with one hundred 
 Pilgrims, sailed for America in the historic ship " May- 
 flower." The voyage was a long and tedious one. Before 
 reaching their final destination they cast anchor in Province- 
 town harbor, where, prior to the landing, the famous 
 "Compact" was drawn up in the cabin of the "May- 
 flower," the name of William Bradford appearing as the 
 second signer. 
 
 comparatively mild. The Separatists, however, suffered not only from the 
 persecutions of the established church, but encountered also, says Bradford, 
 ^he sharp invective of the Puritans, who stirred up not only hostility at home, 
 but even prejudiced the reformed clergy of other countries against the 
 Separatist refugees. From 1660 to 1688 sixty thousand non-conformists and 
 dissenters were cast into English prisons. 
 
 In 1589, Robert Brown (born in 1549), educated at Cambridge, after- 
 wards schoolmaster at Southwark, and lecturer at Islington, made a furious 
 Separatist crusade, but the next year fled to Holland. Returning in 1586 he 
 renewed his work, but soon re-entered the established church. Brown's 
 efforts greatly embittered the controversy. 
 
 For distributing Brown's books John Copping and Elias Thatcher were 
 hanged after trial before Judge Fopham. The same year a preacher, William 
 Dennis, was hanged. In 1593 three Cambridge scholars, John Perry, John 
 Greenwood and Henry Barrow were hanged for teaching Separatism. Soon 
 after, banishment, under penalty of death in case of return, was established as 
 the punishment ol Separatism. The oppression of the Separatists was suc- 
 cessfully continued until in 1603 upon the accession of James I. In the whole 
 kingdom there appears to have been but one Separatist church, that at Gains- 
 borough, in charge of a pastor, John Smyth. In 1605 the Gainsborough flock 
 fled to Amsterdam, leaving behind a few scattered friends at Scrooby, twelve 
 miles to the west of Gainsborough in the Hundred of Basset Lawe, in Notting- 
 hamshire, England. 
 
 Scrooby — Austerfield — Brewster — Bradford. 
 
 At Scrooby lived William Brewster, afterwards the famous Elder Brewster 
 •of Plymouth Colony, and at Austerfield, a neighboring Yorkshire village, re- 
 sided William Bradford, the historian and future Governor of Plymouth Colony. 
 William Brewster was born in 1569, attended Cambridge University, and was 
 appointed in 1590 to keep the post station at Scrooby. Brewster became 
 greatly interested in religious matters and was industrious in building up the 
 Episcopal or Puritan congregations in the wide region around Scrooby. He 
 was assisted by young William Bradford of Austerfield. In 1606 came a rude 
 change. Persecution had become active at Scrooby. The Puritan reformers

THE TUCKER GENEALOGY 141 
 
 On Dec. 7, 1620, while the "Mayflower" lay in Cape 
 Cod harbor, and before a permanent place of settlement 
 had been decided upon, Dorothy (May) Bradford, home- 
 sick, weary, and mourning for her child, fell overboard, 
 finding a watery grave. 
 
 at Scrooby were repelled and became Separatists. A Separatist congregation 
 was gathered from the remnants of the Gainsborough congregation. Brewster 
 and Bradford joined the movement. Richard Chilton became the pastor. As 
 junior pastor came John Robinson, a graduate of Corpus Christi College, 
 Cambridge, formerly a clergyman in the established church near Norwich^a 
 learned, liberal, cultivated man. In 1607 the determination was formed to 
 escape further persecution by flight to Holland. A large ship was hired to t.ike 
 them at Boston forty miles from Scrooby. Through the treachery of the 
 officers of the ship, the fugitives were robbed of their effects, and Bradford, 
 Brewster and others were imprisoned. 
 
 In 1608 after severe trials, in various ways, the constant ones escaped to 
 Holland under the care and guidance ot Clifton, Robinson and Brewster, and 
 in August were reunited on the banks of the Zuyder Zee at Amsterdam in 
 Holland. 
 
 In Holland. 
 
 At Amsterdam were two Separatist congregations; one banished from 
 London in 1593 after the execution of its teacher, Greenwood; the others 
 escaped from Gainsborough in 1605-1606. The Gainsborough society was at 
 variance with its pastor John Smyth, and its division was affecting the elder 
 and larger church. To escape these dissensions the new comers from Scrooby, 
 n May, 1609, removed to Leyden. Clifton, now an old man, remained at 
 Amsterdam. The Scrooby band at its removal to Leyden numbered one 
 hundred persons. At Leyden the Scrooby Separatists lived peaceably and 
 busily. Brewster, after several years, was employed at the University to teach 
 English to the students. He wrote and published several text books. Sub- 
 sequently he set up as a printer and published several theological works. In 
 1619 the English Government complained that Brewster's books were " vended 
 underhand" in England and asked that Brewster be delivered up for trial in 
 England. The Dutch, anxious to strengthen their English alliance against 
 Spain, promptly attempted to arrest Brewster. William Brewster, however, 
 escaped to London, where he remained concealed until the sailing of the 
 Mayflower, which he helped to fit out. At Leyden, under the leadership of 
 their pastor, John Robinson, a sagacious, untiring and wise leader, the 
 Separatist community moved quietly along. As years passed many changes 
 came to the people. Births, marriages, deaths followed from year to year. 
 As they increased in numbers more continuous labor was necessary to earn 
 even a comfortable living. The young were becoming attached to the Dutch 
 ways. They feared that soon they would become Dutch in tastes and habits, 
 and that their descendants would be likely not only to lose the English

 December 21, 1620, they landed at Plymouth. 
 
 When John Carver, the first Governor of Plymouth 
 Colony, died, in April, 162 1, William Bradford was chosen 
 
 language and character, but to allow the precious fire to die out on the 
 Separatist altar. A removal seemed to be demanded. The resolution to settle 
 in North America became fixed. 
 
 Emigration to New England. 
 
 Finally June 29, 1619, a patent was issued by the English Government of 
 land near the northern limits of the Virginia territory, not to the Separatists 
 who were non-residents, but to John Wincob. Early in 1620 one Thomas 
 Weston, a merchant of London, came to Leyden olTering to furnish the funds 
 required. He connected with himself some seventy English merchants who 
 took stock at 10 pounds per share for promoting this emigration, on the basis 
 of a division of the Colony's possessions and earnings at the end of seven 
 years between the stockholders and the inhabitants. February 12, 1620, the 
 Wincob patent was succeeded by one running to John Pierce, which conveyed, 
 with self-governing powers, a tract of land to be selected by the planters 
 near the mouth of the Hudson. 
 
 A sixty ton pinnance the •'Speedwell," was purchased by the adventurers 
 as the London merchants were called, and was fitted out in Holland. She was 
 to take the Leyden people to Southampton. The "Mayflower," a hundred 
 and sixty ton ship, had been selected to bring the English comrades from 
 London to Southampton, whence the "Mayflower" and "Speedwell" were 
 to sail for America. 
 
 July 31, 1620, the Leyden people kept a farewell feast. John Robinson, 
 their pastor, preached the farewell sermon. On the evening of the same day 
 they lett Leyden by the canal for Delfthaven, some fourteen miles distant. 
 Bradford says: "So they left that goodly and pleasant city which had been 
 their resting place near twelve years; but they new they were Pilgrims and 
 looked not much on those things but lifted up their eyes to the heavens, their 
 dearest country and quieted their spirits." 
 
 The next morning, after a touching farewell (which Weir's famous paint- 
 ing in the United States Capitol has reproduced), the Pilgrims sailed from 
 Delfthaven in the "Speedwell" for Southampton, At Southampton the 
 "Mayflower" had been receiving her stores and outfit for a week when the 
 "Speedwell" arrived. The two vessels left Southampton August 15, 1620, 
 but put back to Dartmouth about August 23rd, on account of the alleged 
 leakage of the " Speedwell." The voyage was resumed about September 2d. 
 When about three hundred miles off Land's End, the Captain of the "Speed- 
 well " again reported his craft leaking. After consultation they put back to 
 Plymouth. Here the "Speedwell" was returned to the Adventurers, and 
 eighteen of her passengers went back in her. The remainder of the Pilgrims, 
 one hundred and two in numbers, sailed from Plymouth for the New World in 
 the "Mayflower" September 16, 1620.

 as his successor, holding this office until January i, 1633, 
 He was afterwards Governor from March 3, 1635, to Jan- 
 uary, 1636; January 3, 1637, to January, 1638; March 5, 
 1639, to June, 1644; June 4, 1645, to June, 1657, 
 He was Governor's Assistant in 1634, 1635, 1637, 1638 
 and 1644. 
 
 On August 24, 1623, Governor Bradford married 
 (second), in Plymouth, Mass., Alice (Carpenter) South- 
 worth, the daughter of Alexander Carpenter and widow of 
 Edward Southworth. She came to America in the " Ann" 
 in 1623. 
 
 Governor Bradford's name has come prominently be- 
 fore us recently, through the restoration to the Common- 
 wealth of Massachusetts, of his " History of Plirnoth 
 Plantation." This historic volume covers the history of 
 the Pilgrim movement in England, Holland and America 
 from 1606 to 1646. It was first printed in the Massa- 
 chusetts Historical Society's Collections in 1856. In 1896 
 a fac-simile of the original manuscript was made and 
 published in London. In 1898 the Commonwealth of 
 Massachusetts printed the history, together with the pro- 
 ceedings incident to the return of the manuscript. 
 
 In 1897, through the efforts of Ambassador Bayard, 
 Governor Wolcott and Senator Hoar, and the courtesy of 
 the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Bishop of London, 
 the long lost manuscript history was delivered to Ambassa- 
 dor Bayard, who brought it back to America. May 26, 1 897, 
 appropriate exercises were held in the State House. Ad- 
 dresses were made and the volume was placed in the State 
 Library of Massachusetts. 
 
 Senator Hoar's address * was in part as follows : 
 
 It has long been well known that Governor Bradford wrote and left be- 
 hind him a history of the settlement of Plymouth. Thomas Prince used it 
 when he compiled his annals. Hubbard depended on it when he wrote the 
 
 * Address of Senator George Frisbie Hoar before the joint session of 
 the Massachusetts Legislature on the occasion of the presentation of the 
 History by Ambassador Bayard.

 The value of this volume may be appreciated from 
 the fact that it is enclosed in a glass case, which at night 
 is kept in a safe especially constructed for the purpose. 
 
 Governor Bradford's other writings are "A Letter 
 Book,"t and " Mourt's Relation." :j: The latter is a daily 
 journal covering the period November 20, 1620, to the re- 
 election of Governor Carver April 2, 1621. 
 
 " History of New Eng^land." Cotton Mather had read it, or a copy of a por- 
 tion of it, when he wrote his " Magnalia." Governor Hntchinson had it when 
 he published the second volume of his history in 1767. From that time it dis- 
 appeared from the knowledge of everybody on this side of the water. All our 
 historians speak of it as lost, and can only guess what had been its fate. 
 Some persons suspected that it was destroyed when Governor Hutchinson's 
 house was sacked in 1765, others that it was carried off by some officer or 
 soldier when Boston was evacuated by the British army in 1776. 
 
 In 1844 Samuel Wilberforce, Bishop of Oxford, afterward Bishop of 
 Winchester, one of the brightest of men, published one of the dullest and 
 stupidest of books. It is entitled "The History of the Protestant Episcopal 
 Church in America." It contained extracts from manuscripts which he said 
 he had discovered in the library of the Bishop of London at Fulham. The 
 book attracted no attention here until, about twelve years later, in 1855, John 
 Wingate Thornton, whom many of us remember as an accomplished antiquary 
 and a delightful gentleman, happened to pick up a copy of it while in Burn- 
 ham's book store. He read the Bishop's quotations, and carried the book to 
 his office, where he left it for his friend, Mr. Barry, who was then writing his 
 "History of Massachusetts," with passages marked, and with a note which is 
 not preserved, but which, according to his memory, suggested that the pas- 
 sages must have come from Bradford's long-lost history. That is the claim 
 for Mr. Thornton. On the other hand, it is claimed for Mr. Barry that there 
 was nothing of that kind expressed in Mr. Thornton's note, but in reading the 
 book, when he got it an hour or so later, the thought struck him for the first 
 time that the clew had been found to the precious book which had been lost 
 so long. He at once repaired to Charles Deane, then and ever since, down to 
 his death, as President Eliot felicitously styled him, " the master of historical 
 investigators in this country." Mr. Deane saw the importance of the dis- 
 covery. He communicated at once with Joseph Hunter, an eminent English 
 scholar. Hunter was high authority on all matters connected with the settle- 
 ment of New England. He visited the palace of Fulham, and established 
 beyond question the identity of the manuscript with Governor Bradford's 
 history, an original letter of Governor Bradford having been sent over for 
 comparison of handwriting.

 Governor Bradford died in Plymouth, Mass., May 19, 
 1657, aged 6'j years. His widow died in Plymouth April 
 5, 1670, aged 80 years. 
 
 Cotton Mather says of Governor Bradford : 
 
 "■ He was a person for study as well as action, and hence 
 notwithstanding the difficulties through which he passed in his 
 youth, he attained unto a notable skill in languages. The 
 Dutch tongue was become almost as vernacular to him as tlie 
 English; the French tongue he could also manage; the Latin 
 and the Greek he had mastered; but the Hebrew he most of 
 all studied, because, he said, he would see with his own eyes 
 the ancient oracles of God in their native beauty. He was 
 well skilled in history, in antiquity, and in philosophy; and 
 for theology, he became so versed in it that he was an irre- 
 fragable disputant against the errors, especially those of 
 Anabaptism, which with trouble he saw rising in his Colony; 
 wherefore he wrought some significant things for the confuta- 
 tion of those errors. But the crown of all was his holy, 
 prayerful, watchful, and fruitful walk with God, wherein he 
 was very exemplary." 
 
 " Through '- long years he sowed the seed of liberality, 
 and his is the glory, though in his old age he left others to 
 tend the crop. He was the man of a thousand — yea, of 
 many thousands — for the especial place which called him 
 
 "How the manuscript got to Fulham nobody knows. Whether it was 
 carried over by Governor Hutchinson in 1774; whether it was taken as spoil 
 from the tower of the Old South Church in 1775; whether, with other manu- 
 scripts, it was sent to Fulham at the time of the attempts of the Episcopal 
 churches in America, just before the revolution, to establish an episcopate 
 here — nobody knows. It would seem that Hutchinson would have sent it to 
 the colonial office; that an officer would naturally have sent it to the war 
 office. But we find it in the possession of the church and the church official 
 having, until independence was declared, special jurisdiction over Episcopal 
 interests in Massachusetts and Plymouth. This may seem to point to a 
 transfer for some ecclesiastical purpose. 
 
 "The bishop's chancellor conjectures that it was sent to Fulham because 
 of the record annexed to it of the early births, marriages and deaths, such 
 records being in England always in ecclesiastical custody. But this is merely 
 conjecture."

 to its service. Wonderful indeed was it that a single ship- 
 load of yeomen and artisans, cast up like waifs on the 
 shore of an unknown wilderness, should have had not only 
 a Carver, Brewster, and Fuller, but also such a greater trio 
 as Winslow, Standish, and Bradford. 
 
 " Since the earliest thought of emigration from Leyden, 
 as in the hegira from England, Bradford has been among 
 the foremost. In all the early periods and labors of the 
 settlement, he stood side by side with Carver,*Standish and 
 Winslow. In bodily labors he wrought beside the strongest; 
 in action he was of the bravest; and in council he led the 
 wisest. From that sad day when the handful of convales- 
 cents fired their matchlocks over the grave of Carver, to 
 that which, more than a third of a century later, saw his 
 own departure, he had gone before the foremost, and stood 
 without a peer. Many pages might well be filled with his 
 eulogy, but the subject may be most fitly left with his own 
 words upon Elder Brewster : ' I should say something of 
 of his life, if to say a little were not worse than to be 
 silent.'"

 MULLINS. 
 
 WILLIAM MULLINS (or Molines), with his wife 
 Alice, son and daughter, came in the " Mayflower" in \6io. 
 His name appears as the tenth signer of the " Mayflower 
 Compact.'' 
 
 It is supposed that the Mohnes family' were Walloons 
 or French Huguenots. 
 
 ' ' William Molines and his daughter Priscilla, (afterwards 
 wife of John Alden), and Philip De la'Noye and others re- 
 mained in Leyden. That is when the French Huguenots 
 went to Guiana. After this they went to England and 
 joined the Pilgrims there. They embarked in the " Speed- 
 well," but in the readjustment of the passengers after the 
 ship "Speedwell" gave out, we find them in the "May- 
 flower.'' 
 
 William Mullins and his wife died in Plymouth, Mass., 
 the first winter — 1 620-1. 
 
 When William Mullins died he left a will which was 
 proved in Dorking County, Surrey, England.

 JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL, 
 
THE LINEAL ANCESTORS 
 OF 
 
 EVELINA CHRISTINA (SNYDER) TUCKER 
 
SNYDER. 
 
 FIRST GENERATION. 
 
 DEACON HENDRICKi SNYDER was (probably) 
 born in Germany. He was living in Tappan, Orange 
 County (now Rockland County), New York, as early as 
 1727. 
 
 October 13, 1727, Hendrick Snyder and Johannes 
 Snyder were received by letter into the Tappan Dutch 
 Reformed Church. 
 
 In 1738 Haverstraw had 654 inhabitants; in 1790 it had 4,826, 
 
 On March 18, 1791, Clarkstown was separated from Haverstraw. 
 
 In 1775 Haverstraw Precinct embraced the present towns of Ramapo, 
 Clarkstown, Stoney Point and Haverstraw. 
 
 The First Reformed Protestant Church of New Hempstead was organized 
 in 1749, and in 1752 an edifice was erected in Clarkstown, New York. 
 This building stood until 1825. 
 
 By an act of the Legislature in 1840 the corporate name was changed to 
 the First Reformed Protestant Dutch Church of Clarkstown. 
 
 In 1750 Orange County embraced all the territory now known as Rock- 
 land and Orange counties. The country was very thinly settled and the 
 inhabitants few in number. The only church near the place was the Reformed 
 Dutch Church at Tappan, and here the church-going people attended. Some 
 walked, some traveled on horse back and others went in wagons. They usually 
 took their lunches, and after the morning service the people from a distance 
 sat down upon the green lawn together, near the Church, and were refreshed. 
 Soon after the congregation would again assemble in the church, and hold 
 an afternoon service, after which they would return home. Dominie Mazelius 
 was the stated pastor at. Tappan. 
 
 On the 17th of June, 1750, the people from the community of Clarks- 
 town, met with the Tappan people and organized a church in this place 
 known as the New Hempstead Reformed Church, and the two churches were 
 supplied by one minister, Rev. D. Mazelius being an aged man and feeble and 
 incompetent to do the work, and the two congregations united and called a 
 young minister. Rev. Samuel Verbryck, to take charge and oversight of the 
 two congregations. Two-thirds of his time was devoted to the Tappan Church 
 and one-third to New Hempstead. The salary of the new pastor was raised 
 in a like ratio — two-thirds by Tappan and one-third by New Hempstead. This 
 was continued until 1784, when, upon the death of Mr. Verbryck, the Rev. 
 Nicholas Lansing was called to succeed him, and for forty-six years he was 
 the faithful pastor of these two bodies of people. 
 
 In 1830 New Hempstead withdrew and separated from the Tappan 
 Church and became known as the Clarkstown Church, and called for its 
 pastor -the Rev. Christopher Hunt. 
 
166 THE TUCKER GENEALOGY 
 
 About 1729 he married Catherine Hoffman (daughter 
 of Harmanus and Geertruyd (Smith) Hoffman). She died 
 between 1749 and 175 i, and he married (second) December 
 22, 1751, Mrs. Barbara (Albrecht) Houser, widow of 
 Johannes Houser. 
 
 Hendrick Snyder was a prominent member of the 
 Tappan and Clarkstown churches, being a deacon in the 
 former till the latter was built in 175 i, where he occupied 
 a similar position. 
 
 April 9, 1769, Cornelius Blauvelt, minister of the 
 Dutch Reformed Church in Hackingsack, recorded the 
 admission of Hendrick Snyder of Orange County to the 
 holy communion of said church. 
 
 Prior to the outbreak of the Revolution the following test of the Genera 
 Association was subscribed to by Hendrick Snyder and others : 
 
 " Persuaded that the salvation of the rights and liberties of America 
 depends, under God, on the firm union of its inhabitants in a vigorous prosecu- 
 tion of the measures necessary for its safety, and convinced of the necessity 
 of preventing the anarchy and confusion which attend the dissension of the 
 powers of the government, we, the freemen, freeholders and inhabitants 
 of Clarkstown, being greatly alarmed at the avowed designs of the Ministry 
 to raise a revenue in America, and shocked by the bloody scenes now acting in 
 Massachusetts Bay, do, in the most solemn manner, resolve never to become 
 slaves; and do associate under all the ties of religion, honor and love to our 
 country to adopt and endeavor to carry into execution whatever measures may 
 be recommended by the Continental Congress, or resolved upon by our 
 Provincial Convention, for the purpose of preserving our Constitution and 
 opposing the execution of the several arbitrary and oppressive acts ot the 
 British Parliament until a reconciliation between Great Britain and America on 
 constitutional principles (which we most ardently desire), can be obtained; 
 and that we will in all things follow the advice of our general committee 
 respecting the purposes aforesaid, the preservation of peace and good order, 
 and the safety of individuals and private property.

 drick Snyder's home, was the scene of one of the most 
 important events of the Revolutionary War, viz : The 
 treason of Benedict Arnold, 
 
 On the 20th of September, 1780, Major Andre sailed up 
 the Hudson River on the British sloop " Vulture," and was 
 on the evening of the 21st taken ashore about four miles

 S. W. of Halifax. This harbor is regarded as the best in Nova 
 Scotia. Shelburne is a place of considerable trade, and has ex- 
 cellent facilities for repairing and furnishing of vessels. It contains 
 iron works, several hotels and stores; population, 1,000. Shelburne 
 County has a population of 12,417. — Lippincott's Pronomicing

 The Will of Hendricks Snyder and the letter of Barbara Snyder indi- 
 cate that Hendrick^ Snyder was a Loyalist, hence the Revolutionary 
 War service credited to Hendrick Snyder is supposed to apply to 
 Hendrick'- Snyder. 
 
 Positive proof of the parentage of Ann* Stringham is needed. A pub- 
 lished pamphlet of the Sackett family gives Colonel James and 
 Deborah (Sackett) Stringham as the parents of Ann Stringham 
 who married William Snyder. 
 
 There was a William Stringham who served in the Orange County,

 tarvet, in Fife, Scotland. He married Margaret Rigg, 
 daughter of William Rigg, of Aitherine, Edinburgh. 
 
 " He was a Presbyterian — a great offense in tho3 3 
 times. From the days of the Restoration to the Revolution 
 of 1 688, Presbyterianism was a crime in the eyes of the 
 Grown only to be dealt with in the severest manner. As the 
 King was in great need of money, those Presbyterians who 
 could pay fines escaped with only the loss of property." 
 
 " George Scot had the courage of his convictions. He 
 attended conventicles, for which dire offense he was brought 
 before the council and heavily fined." 
 
 " For a few years before their departure for America 
 they lived in Edinburgh."

 Government of the Province of East New Jersey in America." 
 He made exhaustive researches for the purpose, and had 
 access to many records and documents that have since dis- 
 appeared or been destroyed." 
 
 " Scot vindicated the sincerity of his opinions by 
 obtaining from the proprietors July 28, 1685, a grant of 
 500 acres of land in East New Jersey, and the following 
 month he engaged to take 10,000 acres of Lord Neil 
 Campbell in the same province."

 America in the "Henry and Francis," with 100 banished 
 peasants to form a colony, but both George Scot and his

 VAN SLICHTENHOFST. 
 
 On the death of Kilian Van Rensselaer, the founder 
 
 of the Van Rensselaer manor, in 1640, the executors of the 
 
 estate selected Herr Brandt Arent Van Slichtenhorst, tiie 
 
 scion of a very ancient Holland family, to manage the 
 
 affairs of Rensselaerwyck. He was a bold, resolute, active 
 
 man, swift in decision, immovable in his opinions, and 
 
 inclined to be captious as well as caustic. His energies 
 
 were focused to the exceedingly precise point of undeviating 
 
 loyalty to the young patron, and of resisting all pretensions 
 
 of the West India Company's officers to supreme rulership 
 
 of New Netherland. In appearance he looked like an 
 
 athlete. He was tall, of almost gigantic proportions, with 
 
 a round, level head on broad, square shoulders — nerve and 
 
 confidence in every line of his strong, florid face, and every 
 
 movement of his well built frame. 
 
 He was the first resident director of the Colony of 
 Rensselaerwick, 1646-8, and commander of the fort at 
 Rensselaerwick. 
 
 In the elements of leadership and in will power he 
 was not inferior to Governor Stuyvesant, and the two re- 
 markable men were suddenly in sharp conflict. The 
 Governor sent a written order that no buildings should be 
 erected by the patroon within 600 paces of the fort at 
 Albany, and as Van Slichtenhorst paid no attention to the 
 mandate, Stuyvesant sent a sheriff to prevent the erection 
 of a fort. No attention was paid to his interference, the 
 fort was completed, cannon planted and flag hoisted. As 
 soon as affairs permitted, Stuyvesant went with an escort to 
 Rensselaerwyck and charged Van Slichtenhorst with con- 
 tempt of authority, which charge was answered with re- 
 torts. The Governor said the buildings were objectionable; 
 Van Slichtenhorst declared hotly that the soil on which 
 they stood belonged to the patroon, and the interview 
 resulted in nothing. One insubordination after another 
 
THE TUCKER GENEALOGY. 191 
 
 followed, until at last Stuyvesant sent, by authority of the 
 Amsterdam Chamber, two proclamations to Albany, one 
 annulling Van Slichtenhorst's ordinance, which had pro- 
 hibited the cutting of firewood for uses of the fort from the 
 unfenced forests; the other annulling all grants of land from 
 the patroon's agent, within 6oo paces of the fort. As 
 these proclamations were repeatedly disregarded Van 
 Slichtenhorst was arrested and imprisoned four months at 
 the fort in the battery, when he made his escape and re- 
 turned to Rensselaerswyck. Shortly afterward some of the 
 soldiers were guilty of aggressions which nearly produced a 
 civil war, and the manner of Van Slichtenhorst's defense 
 caused the Governor to issue a placard declaring the juris- 
 diction of the fort to extend over a radius of 600 paces 
 around the citadel. When the placard came to Van 
 Slichtenhorst's notice he exclaimed : "It shall not be done 
 as long as we have a drop of blood in our veins, nor until 
 we receive orders from their High Mightiness and our 
 honored masters,'' and rushing forward tore the placard 
 from the deputies' hands. Other placards were posted up, 
 but were immediately torn down. At last the exasperated 
 Governor marched with an armed force to Rensselaerwyck, 
 and after much resistance broke in the doors of Van 
 Slichtenhorst's house, forcibly conveyed him to the fort, 
 and he was soon taken to New York. 
 
 It was months before he was brought to trial, and then 
 the case was too complicated for a decision to be reached. 
 
 He remained under '• civil arrest," spending his time 
 chiefly on Staten Island.

 lington, N. J., on the 28th of March, 1749, a proclama- 
 fion was issued for a general feast, and they appointed the 
 tollowing officers : Somerset County, Robert Lettice Hoo- 
 per, Justice. 
 
 " In May, 1759, Robert Lettice Hooper has laid out lots 
 (60x161) for a town in Nottingham Township, beginning on 
 the Delaware at Trenton Ferry, running as the road runs 
 to the Grist Mills opposite Trenton, thence down the river 
 to the ferry, being the head of navigation, where there is a 
 considerable trade extending from the City of Philadelphia, 
 and great parts of the counties of Hunterdon, Morris, Mid- 
 dlesex, Somerset, and Buck, in Pennsylvania, deliver their 
 produce, and rafts of timber, staves, etc., come from 120

 friends of mature years, those dearer and nearer, husband 
 and children, long since lain to rest in the silent city of the 
 dead, and now, surrounded by a devoted daughter, sons and 
 loving friends, she awaits a blissful meeting with those gone

 offered homage to the queen, whom all delighted to honor. 
 Music and conversation filled the evening's enjoyment, and 
 when at a late hour the last 'good night' was said, the v»'ish, 
 that ever recurring anniversary might not be shadowed by any 
 blighting care, and that God in his infinite mercy would 
 grant her surcease of sorrow throughout her declining years, 
 rested like a benediction upon her aged head."
