A large proportion of the niAterlal m this volume' Was \ collected in comiection with the contents of the history of \ the iiish Setfcleiuent cliiiicli, published in 1816. It being , . f-^nni impracticable to incorporate it with that work, the author has amplified and added much theieto, and now pre- ■\ sents it, as it is hoped, in a form more interesting and satis- factory. The aim in this volume has been to collect, fr all sources available to the author, such suitable private : * ords and matters of history, as would throw light upon ' Irish Settlement and its people.^%'By preserving such 'icatfe- 3 rial in this form it "was hoped to perpetuate tlie meiuory 6f j' the Settlement when that particular class of people v^ho -J- liave given it its characLeiistics and name, shall have ceased to reside within its bounds. Aside from what we have cfb- tained fi-om published works, much material has heen furnis':ed by the descendants and friends of the Irish Settle- o.....%.'?)ent people In regard to tliis material we would say we liave acted more the part of the editor thain the 'author.' ' If mistakes are found, we tvould have them referred to the' au- thors of the material rather than to us, as we have had no 1 means of rectifying the mistakes of onr iiiformants. Where there have been conflicting statements, coming from diftfcrent I sources, we have usually given both, and, leftf^the reader to J Jh^efnce. -^cide for himself upon the scerits of the case. Perhaps some, under whose eye tliese pages may fall, may be disposed to aay that they could have given fuller and more accurate information upon certain points. This is just what we would have been glad to receive, and for which purpose we «ent out a large number of circulars to all persons known to us who, as we thought, could give us information. We have made the best of all the material secured by such means. If any friends have failed to furnish us with the material which they may have possessed, we are sorry for ourselves and for the interests'of the Irish Settlement history, but we cannot help the matter. With ree.»rd to the construction of the Genealogies we would say:- The first ra.ne of the individual only is gitven in each genealogy, the last name being understood. When a female member of the connection lUarnes, further refvi- «nce to her will be found under the fam.ily uamft^-of^ her husband. The names in the geneal6gy are numbered consecutively as they appear, and such numbers are used <)nly in connection with these names. When the nimi- ber of a name is noted, run down the left side of the page^ and references to the name will be found preceded by the appropriate number. As material was constantly com- ing in whilst the work was going through the press, fuller information on certain points will be found in the Reminis- cences, Appendix, and Addenda, than is given in connection with the same points in the Genealogies. Had the informa- tioa reached us in time, we would have inserted it in its appropriate place. In order to make the whole work more available for ref- erence, an index, ccmtaining all the family names, with the places where they are found, is appended. J. C. C.

"Rev. John Rosbrugh was the father of Jajnes (Rosbrugh,) who used to tell an anec- dote connected with the history of the-building of the Academy, at Bath;, which was as fol- lows : He, with a number of other young: men, wanted the advantage of something better than a con^mon school education, and they took measures to build by subscription. He called on a Dutchman by the name of George Wolf for aid, but Mr. Wolf refused by saying, 'Dat dis edecation ant dings make raskels. ' H'e ^ re- fused at ^rst, but I believe^ did afferwards ■ hislp to build it. But in the course of the conversa- tion, Mr. Rosbrugh told him that his sons? George and Philip, would have the advantage of an education, and that his son George, might be Governor sooner of later. ^Tell- deWv- ven my George is Gobernor he will be queer timesi' "The sequel of the matter was - that 0^€>rg» Wolf got his Eiigli&h education' ill' the old Academy, and after his eletetion, (tb theiGovei'- norship of the state,) it all came tdthe miadibf Genealogies. 147 Mr. Rosbrugh, who used to t«tke pride in tell- ing it."

Having given briefly, in a former publica- tion, the history of the church in the Irish Settlement, and thereby brought to notice some of the acts of her people while they were alive ; and these people and their descendants having to a great degree either gone to their long home, or removed to other parts of the country, it was thought it might be interest- ing to the present generation, to notice what yet remains in the Settlement to call to mem- ory those who have passed away. For those descendants who reside beyond the bounds of the Settlement, moi^e particularly, we have collected and arranged the following nec- rology. It is nothing more than an alphabet- ical arrangement of the inscriptions upon the tomb stones in the old grave yard. It is hoped there are others who will feel as much inter- ested, and take as much pleasure in perusing these pages, as the author has in transcribing and arranging the inscriptions. It is intended to give the names, as far as practicable, in the chronological order of the death of the person, under whatever letter of the alphabet they 152 Necrology may come ; but in order to bring tbe members of families into closer connection, in some cases, this rule has been deviated from. There may be some mistakes in the orthog- raphy, and dates set down. If the dfficulty of collecting and arranging the matter could be appreciated by each one, we apprehend due allowance would be made for any discrepen- cies. It is hoped, however, the inscriptions will be found to be, in the main, norrectly ti-anscribed. If descendants do not find inscriptions which, they supposed were in existence, it is probable the tomb stones bearing them have entirely disappeared. In some cases it will be found that in the genealogies, the age of the person is given, as in the year denoted by the last birth-day, whilst in others it is giVen as in the year denoted by the birth-day succeeding death. This arises from the fact that in the genealo- gies the ages were given as ascertained from various sources of information. Differences between family records and tomb stone in- scriptions, the author has had no means of rectifying. The first number attached to an inscription is the current, number of the -same in the necrology; the second is the number of the person in the genealogies. Necrology. 153 ♦ A. No. 1, Gen. 2, p. 11.

DATE OF THE SETTLEMENT. In a letter, bearing date April 13th, 1878, Wm. H. Egle, M. D,, of Harrisbnrg, author of the "Illustrated History of the Common- wealth of Pennsylvania" published in 1876, we find the following information. ^ 'S orate tmi or twelve years ago, I wrote an article on the influenne of the Scotch-Irish element in our state and nation, and then 214 Reminiscences. expressed a hope that an liistorical society woLild be formed for the purpose of publishing all matters relating to the Scotch-Irish immi- gration — calling attention also to the fact that as early as 1717, no less than five vessels of immigrants from the north of Ireland arrived on the coast of New England, but forbidden to land at Boston by the intolerant puritan, the immigrants moved up the Kennebec, and there settled. The winter of 1717— '18 bc'.n^^' one of unusual severity, the great majority of these settlers left the Kenneliec and came overland into Pennsylvania, settling in North- ampton county. Hence your Irish Settlement." We have received also from another and entirely independent source, information which coincides with this. Mr. A. Boyd Hamilton, of Harrisburg, writng under date of Oct. 25th, 1875, says:- "My family records say, that John Boyd came from Scotland in 1714 — married Jane Craig at Phil'a in 1715 — resided there up to 1728, when he went with Col. Thos. Craig and others, to 'the new purchase'. He was settled there in 1731, new style, as were the Wilson's, Brown's &c. The father of Robert Brown, married a daughter of J. Boyd, and E,. B., their son, was in congress twenty years, from Northampton county. His grand-son, Reminiscences. 215 Gen. Robert Shimer Brown, near Bethleliem, has part of tlie original land yet. "The Boyd family went to Cumberland county about 1756 — say '60. As I am a de- scendant of Adam Boyd, (cousin german of Robert Brown) by an only child, I cannot be far wrong when I compare dates and tradi- tions. My great-grand-mother died in 1830, aged eighty-four, and she always told mother, AvLo ilicd in 1872, aged eighty-six, that the cir- cumstances I have detailed, were correct. Botl! vrere jic'coniplished women, as their an- cestry were substantial folks, able to give the best education the day afforded." It will be observed that the dates given by these communications for the immigration of the Scotch-Irish into Pennsylvania, very closely agree. Beside this, the family records of Mr. Hamilton furnish good grounds upon which to fix the date of the Settlement. By turning to the Genealogies, pp. 19 and 147, it will be observed that the first John Boyd's son John, married Elizabeth Young, in 1744. As her husband was born in Phila. in 1716 and went with his father to found the Settle- ment, the year in which this event occurred, would naturally be fixed in his mind, and his communicating the date to his wife would leave little doubt but that it was correctly im- lilt) Ju',))UiUsccnccf the day, from Mark viii. 34.

"On Monday he preached again in the same place with freedom and fervency." p. 187. 1745. Saturday, April 27th. "The next day, he went to the Irish settlement, often be- fore mentioned, "about fifteen miles distant; where he spent the Sabbath, and preached with some considerable assistance." ,p. 197. "Wednesday, September 4th. "Rode 15 miles to an Irish settlement, and preached there from Luke xiv. 22. '■Ajid yet there is room.' God was pleased to afibrd me some teiiderness and enlargement in the first prayer, and much freedom as well as warmth in the sermon.

If the reader will go to the old town of Northampton, in Massachusetts, and take the street leading from the centre of the town to the bridge crossing the Connecticut river, he will soon arrive at the resting place of the ashes of David Brain erd. Entering the old burying ground to the left of the street, and walking less than a hundred yards, beneath an arch of shade trees, to his right hand, near the carriage-way, surrounded by murmuring pines, and beneath a solitary young New England elm, he will find the following in- scription.

The monument which marks the last resting place of Mr, Brainerd, has the following char- acteristics. Upon the ground is laid a heavy brown-stone slab, about 3x6 feet. At the four corners are upright posts, 7 inches square at base ; the first 3 in. are cut into pedestal shape; the next 7 in. are paneled; the next 1\ in. is a carved band; the next 9|^ in. are fluted ; the last '^\ in. are carved into a chapi- ter. There is also a similar post in the middle of the slab, but this one is 9^ in square at the base. tJpon these posts rests another brown- stone slab, 3x6 feet and 4 in. thick. The centre of this upper slab has been cut out, and a white marble slab, 1 f. 10 in. x 2f. 9 in., let in, upon which the inscription is cut. 236 Reminiscences. THE SETTLEMENT W PUBLIC AFFAIRS. The following extracts are from Egle's his- tory of Pennsylvania. "^Northampton county w^s erected by virtue of an act of Assembly passed March 11th, T762." * * * * * "The same act authorizing the erection of JSTorthampton county provided that Thomas Craig, Hugh Wilson, Thomas Armstrong, and James Martin, or any three of them, were to purchase and take assurance to them and their heirs, of a piece of landj situate in some convenient place, at Easton, on Lehietan, in the 'Forks of the river Delaware,' in trust and for the use of the inhabitants of the said county, and thereon to erect and build a court house and prison, sufficient to accommo- date the public service of the said county, and for the ease and conveniency of the inhabi- tants. Three hundred pounds was raised by tax for building the court house, erected in 1763, and a jail in 1754. The first court was held in June, 1752." p. 968. "The second court held was a court of record, October 3rd, 1752. before Thomas BemMscences. 237 Craig, Daniel Broadhead, Hugh Wilson, James Martin, Aaron Depui, and John Van Etten.

William Craig was Prothonotary from 1788 to '95, and from 1797 to '98. J. R. Lattimore held the office from 1824 to '33. 240 Eeminiscmces. THE SETTLEMENT AND THE • FRENCH AND INDIAN WAR. From wliat we have already presented un- der the head of "Getting possession of the land", it will be observed there was deep iiJissatisfaction on the part of the Indians with the manner in which the lands south of the Blue mountains were obtained by the whites, and upon which the Irish Settlement was lo- cated. It only required a fanning by French intrigue, to cause the smouldering embers of hatred in the Indian heart to burst fortl^, into a flame, and lead the savages to take ven- geance upon the white settlers upon the lands out of which they felt they had been defrauded. The inhabitants of the Irish Settlement form- ed a goodly part of the people whose trials are depicted by the following records, which we take from Egle's history of Pennsylvania. "In 1752, when Northampton county was -organized, there were nearly six thousand white settlers within the then extensive bor- ders of the county; about three hundred Dutch, or Hollanders, several French families, eight hundred Scotch-Irish, and about four thousand Germans. In process of time the Reminiscences. 241 Germans measurably supplanted tlie Scotch- Irish. The Germans constitute at present about one ninth [nine-tenths ?] of the popula- tion. It is a fact, once stated for all,. that the Germans have supplanted the Scotch-Irish throughout the entire valley of the Kittatinny, from Easton to Maryland. "The first inhabitants of Northampton coun- ty were scarce beginning to enjoy the advan- tages which the organization [of the county] of 1752 brought with it, when in the summer of 1755 the peace in which they had thus far lived was rudely broken. It was French am- bition and French aggression which provoked the first war in which the followers of William Penn eugaged with the aborigines. Whatever other considerations may have moved the In- dians to entertain unfriendly feelings toward the descendants of a man whose memory they revered — whether loss of confidence in their integrity, or a sense of injury, or a wild hope of regaining their ancestral seats, it is a ques- tion whether they would have followed up their feelings by acts of open hostility, had they not been incited by the insidious repre- sentations of the French of Canada. An alli- ance with the Indian tribes of the Province, the latter well knew would enable them to carry on their military operations in the Ohio 242 Hemmwcences. 1 country successfully, and to realize their schemes of territorial aggrandizement. In this way, then were the Delawares and lesser tribes residing on the Susquehanna and east- ward seduced from their allegiance to the British crown, and led to inflict much suffer-' ing on the v/hite settlements which stretched along the line of the Blue mountains, from the romantic point at which the Delaware has broken their barrier, to the confines of Mary- land. Braddock's defeat was not only a fatal termination of a campaign which it had been hoped would inflict a decisive blow upon the enemy, but proved the direct means of encour- aging the disaffected Indians to make the frontiers of the Province the scene of a preda- tory warfare, in which old Northampton was severely scourged at intervals during a period of full two years. "The massacre of eleven Moravians at Gna- denhutten mission (Lehighton, Carbon county, Pennsylvania), in the evening of the 24th of November, 1755, was the first indication the inhabitants of the county had that the enemy was at their doors. Its remote settlements, and, among these the scattered plantations that nestled in the small valleys immediately norlli of the Blue mountain, drained by big creek and its briinches, by Broadkead's creek, McMichael's and Cherry creeks, and the Penn- Reminiscences. 243 sylvania Minisinks, suffered most severely in tlie winter of 1765 '56. p. 971. "During the Frencla and Indian war, in January of 1756, immediately after the disas- ter which befell Captain Hays' company of Scotch-Irish at Gnadenhutten (nowWnissport), where he and his men were ambushed by the Indians and well nigh cut to pieces, the set- tlers fled from their farms and sought refage among the Moravians at Bethlehem and IsTaz- areth. 'Soon after my arrival here,' writes Franklin from Bethlehem, to Gov-ernor Morris, under date of January 14, 1756, 'the principal people of the Irish Settlement, such as Wilson and elder Craig, came to me and demanded an addition of thirty men to Craig's company, or threatened they would immediately, one and all, leave their country to the enemy.' Captain Hays mentioned above, resided on the site of Weaversville. p. 988. "So emboldened were the savages grown in consequence of their successful forays, that in January of the last mentioned year [1756], their scalp yell was heard within the Moravian plantations at l^azareth, and Bethlehem was only saved from destruction at their hands by the exercise of extreme prudence, and by in- cessant watchfalness on the part of the inhabi- tants. 244 Ileminiscences. "Tlie fear which now seized upon the dwell- ers on the frontiers is indescribable, and as government moved slowly in devising means for their protection (December of 1755 was half gone, when Franklin, who had been pre- vailed upon to take charge of the northern borders, and to provide for the defence of the inhabitants by raising troops and building a line of forts, moved to the seat of war), they placed their safety in flight. In this way it came to pass, that within six weeks after the first inroads of the enemy, not only was trans- montane Northampton almost deserted by the whites, but even the plantations in the tier of. townships resting against the south-eastern slope of the Blue mountain were left to their fate — invariably the torch of the Indian wai&- rior. This condition of things reached its climax, it is true, in the winter of 1756 ; nev- ertheless, even pending negotiations for peace with the Indians as late as the autumn of 1757, there occurred repetitions of the horrors which had marked the inception of hostilities. "The present townships of Smithfield, Stroud, and Hamilton, in Monroe county, were next invaded by the savges, after the massacre of the Moravians at Gnadenhutten. On N'ew Year's day of 1756, the Moravian hou,ses at Gnadenhutten east (Weissport, Carbon county), were all destroyed, and the Reminiscences. 245 enemy entered LeMgh and Allen townships. The papers of that day, as well as the Colonial Records, have preserved detailed accounts of these cruel marauds, of which the following are the most interesting. "The K,ev. Nathaniel Siedel, a Moravian clergyman residing at Nazareth under date of December 11, 1755, writes to Bishop Spangen- berg, at Bethlehem, in the following words :- 'Mr. Bizman, who just came from the Blue mountain, and is the bearer of this letter, will tell you that there is a number of (two hun- dred) Indians about Brodhead's plantation (Stroudsburg). They have destroyed all the plantations thereabouts, and killed several families at Hoeth's' "The Rev. J. Michael Graff writes to Bishop Spangenberg under date of December 11, 1755, as follows :- 'An hour ago came Mr. Glotz, and told us that the 10th instant, in the night Hoeth's family were killed by the Indians^ ex- cept his son and the smith, who made their' escape, and their houses burned down. Just now came old Mr. Hartman with "his family, who also escaped, and they say that all the \ tieighborhood of the above mentioned Hoeth's, ^'tiz.: Brodhead's, Culver's, McMinhael's, and ' all the houses and families thereabouts, were attacked by the Indians at day-light, and 246 lieminiscences. .' burned down by them. Mr. Culver's and Hartman's family are come to us with our wagons, and lodge partly here in Nazareth, partly in the tavern. Our wagons, which were to fetch some corn, were met by Culver's, three miles this side of his house, and when they heard this shocking news resolved to re- turn and carry these poor people to l^azareth. They say also that the number of Indians is above two hundred. We want your good ad- vice what to do in this present situation and circumstances, and desire, if possible, your as- sistance.' Col. Rec. vi, 757. "Timothy Horsefield, a justice of the peace, and resident of Bethlehem, wrote to Governor Morris, under date of December 12, 1755, in these words :-'Hoeth and his family are cut off, only two escaping. The houses etc., of Hoeth, : Brodhead and others are actually laid in ashes, and people from all quarters are flying for their lives, and common report is that the In- dians are two hundred strong. 'Your honor can easily guess at the trouble and consternation we must be in on this occa- sion in these parts. As to Bethlehem, we have taken all precaution in our power for our defence ; we have taken all our little children from' Nazareth to Bethlehem for the greater security, and these, with the rest of our chil- dren, are near three hundred in number. Reminiscences. 247 ^Although our gracious King and Parlia- ment have been pleased to exempt those among us of tender conscience from bearing arms, yet there are many among us who make no scruple of defending themselves against such cruel savages. But, alas! what can we do, having very few arms and little or no am- unition ; and we are now, as it were, become the frontier, and as we are circumstanced, our family (economy) being so large, it is impossi- ble for us to retire to any other place for secu- rity. 'I doubt not your Honor's goodness will lead you to consider the distress we are in, and speedily aiFord us what relief shall be thought necessary against the merciless savages. 'P. S.

James Hamilton and Benjamin Frank- lin, Esq., under date of December 15, 1755: 'The settlers on this side of the mountain all along the river side are actually removed, and we are now the frontier part of the country.

But now, seeing themselves as well as the town neglected, they are moving away as fast as they can. So that if we have no help, nor orders from the Commissioners to use means to get help, in a day or two we shall every one of us be obliged to leave the town, and all that We have in it, to the fury of the enemy, who, there is no reason to doubt, are lurlking about within sight of us. Besides the losses which , I have reason to sustain in this calamity, I have expended what little stock of cash I had, in public services, so that I am obliged to send this by private hands, not being able to pay a person to go express with it. Pray do some- thing, or give some order for our speedy relief, or the country will be entirely ruined. If you had but given encouragement to some persons that you could have confided in, for their em- ploying people just for our present defence, till you could have agreed on a general plan, ^11 this part of the country might have been saved, which is now entirely lost, and the en- emy are still penetrating further and further, and if iiinnediate means are not taken, they will vei^y soon be within sight of Philadelphia.

Ilemmiscences. 219 "Captain Jacob Arndt, of the Province ser- vice, has left a list of the killed and prisoners made by the Indians from the beginning of the war till December 16, 1757. This record was completed at Fort Allen (Weissport, Car- bon county), of which post Arndt was at the time commandant. According to this interes- ting statement, one hundred and fourteen men, women, and children were killed, and fifty-two taken captive. Of the latter, seven were re- turned by the Indians, or effected their escape." "The peace in which the inhabitants of Northampton were again beginning to live, after the adjustment of the dififerences with the Delawares and Shawanese in 1758, was a second time broken, when, in the summer of 1763, there came rumors of Indian incursions in the then far west, and of an impending In- dian war. At the very time when the Ottawa chieftain, Pontiac, was prosecuting the siege of Detroit (12th May to 12th October), in the course of his mighty effort to drive the English from the country, lesser parties, at the bidding of their great leader, had crossed the AUeghe- nies, and were committing depredations upon the frontiers of the Province. Before day- break in the morning of the 8th of October, some Delawares attacked the house of John Stenton, in Allen township, on the main road 250 J^enmusceuees. . ) from Bethlehem to Fort Allen, eight miles north-west from the former place, where Cap- tain Jacob Wetterhold, of the Provincial service, with a squad of men, was lodging for the night. Meeting with Jean, the wife ot .fames Horner, who was on her way to a neighbors for coals to light her morning fire, the Indians fearing lest she should betray them or raise an alarm, dispatched her with their tomahawks. [See Genealogies, page 66, No. 2, and !N"ecrology, page 170, Wo. 59.] There- upon they surrounded Stenton's house. No sooner had Captain "Wetterhold's servant step- ped out of the house (he had been sent to saddle the captain's horse) than he was shot down. The report of the Indian's piece brought his master to the door, who, on open- ing it, received a mortal wound. Sergeant Lawrence MnGuire, in his attempt to draw him in, was also dangerously wounded and fell, whereupon the Lieutenant advanced. He was confronted by an Indian, who leaped upon the bodies of the fallen men, presented a pis- tol, which the lieutenant thrust aside as it was being discharged, thus escaping with his life, and succeeding also in repelling the savage. The Indians now took a position at a window, and there shot Stenton as he was in the act of ri«iiig from, bed. Rushing from the house, the wounded man ran for a mile, and dropped Memimscences. 251 down a corpse. His wife and two children bad meanwhile secreted themselves in the cel- lar, where they were .fired upon three times, but without being struck. Captain Wetter- hold, despite his sufferings, dragged himself to a window, through which he shot one of the savages while in the act of applying a torch to the house. Hereupon, taking up the dead body of their comrade, 'the besiegers withdrew. Having on their retreat plundered the house of James Allen, they attacked An- drew Hazlitt's, [See Gen. p. 59.] where they shot and scalped a man, shot Hazlitt after a brave defence, and then tomahawked his fugi- tive wife and two children in a barberous manner. Finally they set fire to his house, and then to that of Philip Kratzer, and cross- ing the Lehigh above Siegfrieds bridge, passed into Whitehall township. "In this maraud, twenty-three persons were killed, and many dangerously wounded. The settlers were thrown into the utmost distress, fleeing from their plantations with hardly a sufiiciency of clothing to cover themselves, and coming into the town of Northampton (now AUentown), where, we read, there were but four guns at the time 'and three of them unfit for use, with the enemy four miles from the place.' At the same time, Yost's mill, 252 Reminiscences. about eleven miles from Bethleliem, was destroyed, and all the people of the place, ex- cepting a young man, cut off. "This was the last invasion of the present Northampton county by a savage foe." p. 974. It only remains to be added that the Irish Settlement people suffered all the terror con- sequent upon the murder of their immediate neighbors of. other nationalities, as we have here depicted, and that the Stenton massacre was in the midst of the Settlement itself. Heminiscences. 263 •THE SETTLEMENT AND THE REYOLUTION. From Egle's history of Pennsylvania, we make the following extracts. "After the defeat of the Americans on Long Island, in November of 1776, "Washington and his forces retreated through New Jersey to Pennsylvania. From his headquarters in Bucks county, under date of December 22, 1776, the General writes to Colonel John Sieg- fried, of Allen townsliip, as follows :- 'Sir: The council of safety of this state, by their resolves of the 17th inst., empowered me to call out the militia of Northampton county to the assistance of the Continental army, that, by our joint endeavors, we may put a stop to the progress of the enemy, who are making preparations to advance to Philadelphia as soon as they cross the Delaware, either by boats or on the ice. As I am unacquainted with the names of the Colonels of your militia, I have taken the liberty to enclose you six let- ters, in which you will please insert the names of the proper officers, and send them immedi- ately to them, by persons in whom you can 254 Meminiscences. confide for their delivery. If there are not as many colonels as letters you may destroy the balance not wanted. 'I earnestly entreat those who are so far lost to a love of country as to refuse to lend a hand to its support at this time, they depend upon being treated as their baseness and want of public spirit will most justly deserve. . 'I am, Sir, your most obedient servant, George Washington.' "A number of companies of militia of the county, upon this requisition, immediately marched, and were engaged in the battles of Trenton, Brandywine, and Germantown. One of the earliest of those to take the field was a company. Captain Hays', enlisted in the Craig Settlement in Allen township. The Rev. John Rosborough, the then pastor, ac- companied the patriots of his flock in the capacity of chaplain, and with them reported for duty on the banks of the Delaware, near Coryell's ferry, in Bucks county. Having ta- ken part in the capture of the Hessians at Trenton, the first action in which they partici- pated, the next morning, Mr. Rosborough, while in a farm-house near the village of Pen- nington, was surprised by a scouting party of British horse, and cruelly put to death. He lies buried in the graveyard of old 'Trenton First Church.'" p. 976." Kemmiscences. 265 "In the Revolutionary war the Scotch-Irish of Northampton were among the first to take up arms in defence of their adopted country's liberties, and Captain Hays' company saw ser- vice at the battle of Long Island [?], and at Trenton. General Robert Brown and General Thomas Craig, both officers in the Conti- nental army, were natives of the Irish Settlement." p. 988. In Ellis's history of Northampton county we find the following. "Most of the Northampton troops which were in the field, took part in the battles of Trenton and Princeton. The Rev. Mr. Rose- bury, a Presbyterian clergyman of the Irish settlement, in Allen township, lost his life in the first named engagement. Intensely patri- otic, and brave as the bravest, he knew that the Commander-in-Chief had need of men, and that was sufficient to show him that it was his*duty to heed his country's call, and to come up to her help against the mighty. He took the most active part and the liveliest in- terest in the organization of Captain Hays' company, which was raised, at a few hours notice, among the liberty-loving covenanters of the Irish settlements, and, doffing the sacred vestments for the garb of a private soldier, he shouldered his musket, and, with 256 Beminiscenees. untaltering faith, advanced into the field of battle, where God had mustered the hosts for war. "The company of Captain Hays, after Tren- ton and Princeton, did not enter into winter quarters with the army in New Jersey, but re- turned to their homes for the time, passing through Bethlehem on the nineteenth of January. This was not, on their part, a retire- ment from service, but they simply took winter quarters at home, in the bosom of their families, instead of the comfortless canton- ments at Morristown; for they could, at two days notice, rejoin their companions in arms, when the return of spring should place the ar- my of Washington again in the field." p. 59. The following is a list of Captain Rundio's Company from Il^orthampton county, which fought in the battles of Long Island and Fort Washington, and in which General Robert Brown was then First Lieutenant. • "Robert McFerren, William Young, Philip Gurwin, Jiacob Holser, Samuel Jones, Sam- uel McFadden, Adam Sly, Daniel Murry, John Handelong, Samuel Been, Pharo Mc- Gee, Conrad Waltman, Jacob C.

Some of these names will be recognized as of Scotch-Irish origin, and the Boyds and oth- ers are perhaps members of the same families as those inserted in the Genealogies. The following will show the circumstances connected with the surrender of Fort Wash- ington, and how General Brown was made a prisoner of war, together with his men. "E'ovember 15th, 1776. General Howe sent a flag demanding the surrender of Fort Washington, or all to be put to the sword — an answer to be returned in two hours. Colonel McGaw, commanding on the Island, having called the Field Officers together, a Council was held, and it was unanimously agreed to . return for answer that we wece determined to hold the Fort to the last extremity, and to rely on General Howe's usual clemency in being put to the sword, "IsTovember lOtli.

The garrison must immediately surrender prisoners of war, and give up their arms, ammunitions, and stores, of every kind, and send two Field Oili- cers to these quarters, as hostages. In so doing, the General is pleased to allow the gar- rison to keep possession of their baggage, and the officers to have their swords. "Agreed to : J.

"Egbert Brown. "On Board of ye Ship Judith, Decem'r 10, 1777." p. 276. Under date of October 20th, 1875, General Robert S. Brown, of Bethlehem Penn'a, grand- son of General Robert Brown of the Revolution, in speaking of these privations, says :- "The Brown family of the Settlement, are Scotch-Irish 'Covenanters' who iied the Old- country from the persecutions of Cromwell, "Though possessed of a large landed estate in J^orthampton county, Samuel Brown, the ancestor, compelled all his sons to learn and serve regular apprenticeship to trades, upon the plea that he did not know but that they might want them some day. Professional itien those days were few and far between — in the Revolution they, were Patriots. "The Flying Camp, the elite of Washing- 2(30 licymniscmccs. ton's army, were officered by men from the Settlement, of whom my Grand-father was one. When "Washington was driven out of New York, this force was put into Fort Washington, with orders to hold it to the last extremity — it was the forlorn-hope. After fighting from sunrise' to sunset — ^their ammu- nition being all expended — being surrounded by ten-thousand Hessians and English, and after giving them the clubbing of all their guns, they surrendered. It was an all-day fight by two thousand against ten-thousand. "Those that survived were put into an en- closure, and for three days and four nights, got nothing, to eat or drink. From their ex- posure, sickness, and starvation, they died like sheep in the shambles. On the fourth day, a mess of men, composed of six, received a handful of worm-eaten crackers. "Some time after this, the officers were pa- roled. General Brown being master of a trade, worked at that, and with the proceeds, bought bread for his men and thus saved many a life. This, fact, the veterans were not slow in giving publicity to, and it gave him such a hold upon them and the community, that it served as a carte blanche from them to him during his life, and he was continued by tliem, agaist his; wishes, in public life to near the end of his days." Reminiscences. 261 "General Robert Brown, a prominent citi- zen of what is at present East Allen township, was a Lieutenant in Colonel McGaw's Regi- ment, Flying Camp, and was captured at the surrender of Fort Washing-ton, November 16th, 1776. There he and his companions fought for forty-eight hours, without food or water, and when completely exhausted and when their ammunition was gone they surren- dered, but not before. They were then driven like cattle to a church, fitted up for a prison, in New York. "Of the two thousand soldiers, closed in that one building, two or three hundred died, and were dragged out, many of them still breathing, while being taken out for burial. A handful of wormy crackers were given to each man several hours after they had been shut up, "Robert Brown was let out on parole, with some others of the officers, after being incar- cerated in that loathsome place for three days. After this he was confined in New York, and received supplies from Mr. Pintard, and from Commissary-General Skinner. "He was exchanged at Elizabethtown, Jan- uary 25th, 1781, and returned to his home in Northampton county. "The title of General, he received from 262 Reminiscences. holding that office in the militia. His old commissions from Governors Findley and Mc- Kean, are very antique looking papers. He was elected to the first Senate of Pennsylvania, and represented the county in the Legislature from 1783 to 1787. He was in 1796 sent as a representative to Congress, in which office he remained for eighteen years in succession, when he, finally, positively refused to allow his name to be used again, on account of old age, and bodily infirmities. Thomas J. Rodjers , of Easton, was his successor. "His valedictory address, to his constituents, in 1812, was excellent, and might well be pat- terned after, by many public men of our day, whose advantages of education have been much greater than were his. "Robert Brown's correspondents were among the first men in the nation : such as Samuel Sitgreaves, of Easton; Albert Gallatin and Colonel Rohn, of "Virginia; Henry Clay, John C. Calhoun, Richard M. .fohnson, and ma,ny other political men: then there were Bishop "White and his brother, John "White; there are letters to him from all these. When Mr. Sitgreaves was a member of the Conven- tion to form the first constitution of this State, he wrote to General Brown, almost everyday, to keep him informed as to the progress of the debates." Ellis, p. 240. 'Reminiscences. 263 Tlie following, bearing upon the Revolu- tionary period of the Settlement's history, is from the pen of James Rosbrugh Learning, M. D., a great-grand-son of Rev. John Rosbrugh. It appeared in the "ITew York Observer" un- der date of January 4th, 1877. A PATRIOT PASTOR IN THE REYOLUTIOK Rev. John Rosbrugh. The account of the "Rev. John Rossburgh/' among Mr. Headley's papers on "The Clergy of the Revolution,", which appeared in the Ob- server August 12, 1875, was emended by Rev. Dr. Junkin in the issue of August 26, to which there was a rejoinder by Mr. Headley in that of September 9 following. Will you allow a direct descendant of Mr. Rosbrugh, at the close of the hundred years since his death, to give the tradition, handed down through the late tfudge James Rose- brugh, of Western 'New York, who was the eldest child, and who had a personal remem- brance of much of what he related? The writer also has in his possession two original letters from Rev. John Rosbrugh to his wife, which are embodied entire in this article, although extracts from them have been here- tofore published. I 264 . lleminiscences. By these it is seen that both Mr. Headley and Dr. Junkin are wrong in spelling the the name — these are signed, " Jno. Koshrugh." The name is now spelled in Scotland, Canada, and the United States, Rosehrugh, as it has always been pronounced. It is probably a corruption of * "Roxborough." Rev. eFohn Rosebrugh was born in 1714, either in Scotland or the North of Ireland; accounts diiFer. Shortly before, or soon after, his birth, his parents removed to Ireland. While still young he came to America with his brother William, married, and lost his wife and child when he was yet but nineteen years old. Many of the descendants of Will- iam are still living in Canada, two of them prominent physicians. After the death of his wife, Mr. Rosbrugh entered Princeton College, of which he was one of the earliest graduates, as a reference to the catalogue will show. He entered the ministry of the Presbyterian Church, to which he and his ancestors belong- ed. He was first settled over the congrega- tions of Mansfield and Axford, now Oxford, New Jersey. About this time also he married his second wife, Jean Ralston, sister of John Ralston, afterwards well known in Pennsylva- * The name is sometimes so spelled in the early Minutes of the Presbyterian Church. — Author. licwaniscenccs. 265 Ilia as a staunch supporter of the liberties of the colonies and of the Revolution. At Mans- field his eldest child, James, was born. In 1769 Mr. Eosbrugh accepted a call from the Allentown congregation, in ]!^orth- ampton county, Pa. Flis time, after his acceptance, was doubtless largely, if not exclu- sively, devoted to "The Settlement" and Greenwich. ''The Irish Settlement," or Craig's Settlement, is now Bath, Northamp- ton county, Pa, Here he lived, a devoted pastor, and three daughters and another son were born to him. In 1776, after the defeat at Port Lee (?), [Washington] Washington's dispirited army were retreating across the Jerseys. The time of enlistment of many of the men was expi- ring; a proclamation was issued from head- quarters, calling for reinforcements. These were dark days. One of these proclamations reached the "Settlement." Mr. Eosbrugh as- sembled his cogregation and read it to them, and urged them to respond. They met each day, but hesitated to leave their families un- protected from attacks from Indians. He persuaded them, preached to them. His text was from Judges 6 : 23 — "Curse ye Meroz, said the angel of the Lord : curse ye bitterly the inhabitants thereof; because they came 26t) Beminiscences. not to the help of the Lord, to the help of the Lord against the mighty." When he had finished the sermon he sol- emnly declared to his people that "he could die in the full faith of what he had preached, the next moment." At last they consented to go if he would be their commander. He in- tended to go as chaplain, hut this proposition was new, and he desired to coufer with his wi:fe before answei-fng. When Mrs. Rosbrugh heard their request, she said, "Then go." In the morning they met again at the meet- ing house in the "Settlement," but the people had been home with their families, and were again undecided. Mr. Rosbrugh told all who felt it to be their duty to stay to go home and to take oare of all that remained, but that , all Avho felt as he did, that it w^s their duty to go to the relief of their country, would follow him ; then, putting a musket to his shoulder, he marched doMai the lane from the meeting house into the road, and every man followed and fell into line. His son James, a boy ten years old, rode his gray horse by his side until they had passed on over the hill, wh^u he lif- ted the boy from the horse, and, kissing him, told him to go home to his ma, and be a good Iwy till he should come back. He never saw his father again. These scenes Judge Rose- brugh frequently related. They were stamped lieniiniiicences, 267 upon his memory. According to tradition, the men were formed into a battallion, and Mr. Kosbrugh was elected Major. When he reached the army he gave up his command and was commissioned chaplain. The follow- ing is his first letter to his wife : "My Dearest Companion — I gladly embrace ye opportunity of telling you that I am still yours, and also in a tolerable state of health, thro' ye tender Mercy of our Dear Lord. The important crisis seems to draw near, which I trust may decide the query whether Ameri- cans shall be slaves or free men. May God grant ye latter, however dear it may cost.

Y., in the Presbyterian of December 14th, 1850, a sec- ond letter, written the day after Christmas, is quoted from as follows : "I have rec'd this afternoon a commission sent me by the Council of Safety to act as chaplain of IsTorthampton county militia, and am now entered upon the duties of my office. O that God would enable me to be faithful !" The writer remembers, when a boy in Judge Rosebrugh's house, seeing a letter from Rev. John Rosbrugh (probably the one from Avhich this extract was taken) to his wife, saying that he had purchased a bushel of salt for sixty- three dollars, which he wished her to divide among the congregation. This letter also enclosed a printed handbill, giving an ac- count of atrocities committed by' British officers, which he believed were not exage- rated. Reminiscences. 269 The third and last letter is in the possession of the writer. It was written in the open air, — it is said upon horseback, — on the 27th of December, and is as follows : " morning, 10 o'clock at Bristol Ferry, Decern I am still yours I havn't a minute to tell yo : company, are all well.

The paper is yellow and much broken, and the dashes in this copy show where the paper is gone. It is 2*r0 liemimscmces. w6rn, and one can imagine haW many times it has been read and moistened with tears. From this date there is no written account of that time. They were under the command of Gen. Putnam on Christmas,— were probably ordered to join Gen. Cadwalader, at Bristol, to cross the Delaware into the Jerseys, to op- -ei'ate with Col. Griffin against Count Donoss, leader of the Hessians, where they arrived on the morning of the 27th. He was killed, xm. the 2d day of January, 1777, near the stone bridge over the Assunpink, a small stream which passes through the border of Trenton aad empties into the Delaware. The account of his death comes from Capt. Hays, who was in command of the "Settle- ment" militia. They were retreating, and Mr. Rosbfugh, coming to the tavern near the bridge, and, being weary, got off his horse and fastened him under the shed and went into the house for refreshments-^no doubt to get a cup of tea, of which he was fond. While at the table the cry was heard "that the Hessians were coming." Mr. Rosbrugh ran out for his horse, but found that it had been stolen. He then went to the bridge, but cannon were placed to sweep it, with orders to let no one pass, and the men were already breaking it up. •He then went hall a mile down the stream to 'Rewbiniseemes. 271 a ford, but found it in possesion of the enemy. He turned back into a piece of woods, when he was met by a platoon of Hessians, under command of a British officer. He surrender- ed, and offered his gold watch and his money in gold for them to spare his life on his fanai- ly's account. But, seeing they were preparing to kill him notwithstanding, he knelt down at the root of a tree, aad, it is said, was praying for his enemies, when the order was given and he was bayonetted. The officer then went to the same tavern which Mr. Rosbrugh had left so short a time before, and showing the watch, boasted that he had killed a rebel parson. The woman who kept the place knew Mr. Rosbrugh, and recognized the watch, and said: "You have killed that good man, and what a wretched thing you have done for his helpless family this day." This enraged the officer, and he threatened to kill her if she said more, and then he ran away, as if fearing pursuit. Capt. Hays found the body where it lay, and buried it there, as he found it, wrapped in a cloak. Sometime afterwards, Mr. Duffield, afterwards Dr. Duffield, of Philadelphia, and grandfather of the late Dr. Duffield, of Detroit, also a chaplain, took up the body and removed it. to Philadelphia. They found seventeen bayonet holes through his waistcoat, 272 Rem'miscences. and one bayonet broken in his body ; also three saber slashes through his horse-hair wig, which he wore, as was customary at that time. Fresh blood flowed from the wounds, which was looked upon as strange. Mr. Duffield had been tutor at Princeton, and no doubt was personally acquainted with Mr. Kosbrugh , and was prompted by friendship to give his body decent burial. Dr. Junkin states that Mr. Thos. Kennedy saw Mrs. E-osbrugh and her daughter on their way to^the second burial, which took place in Father Cooley's churchyard, a few miles out of Trenton. It would be pleasant for Mr. Eosbrugh's descendants to believe that his body is resting in this quiet and beautiful place, but as Mr. Kennedy was certainly mistaken in regard to Mrs. Rosbrugh and her daughter attending the burial there, it is probable that the other was also an error. Judge Rosebrugh, who lived with his mother until a man grown,knew nothing of his mother's going to the second burial, and his eldest sister, the late Mrs. Ralston, was then but a child, younger than himself, and he believed the body of his father was taken to Philadelphia, but where buried was not known. Mr. Headley gave an extract from his will, made when he had decided to venture lieminiscmces. 273 his life for his cottfitry, wMch is a fit ending to tMs article: "Having received many singular blessings fpom Almighty God in this land of my pil- grimage, more especially a loving wife and five promising children, I do leave and be- queath them all to the protection and mercy of God, from whom I rec'd them; being en- couraged thereto by God's gracious direction and faithful promise — (Jeremiah 49 : ll)-^- 'Leave thy fatherless children : I will preserve them alive : and let thy widows trust in me.'

German farmers now hold the bulk of the farms first tilled by the Scotch-Irish." Ugkj p. 988. 2T6 Jiendniscences. THE SETTLEMENT ACADEMY. From the "Report of the Superintendent of Public Instruction" of Pennsylvania, for the year 1877, we make the following extract. "In 1785, an Academy was erected in Allen township, (now East Allen,) on the Monoeacy creek, about a mile south of the borough of Bath, in the center of what is known as the 'Irish Settlement.' A number of the citizens in the settlement were anxious that their sons should have better advantages of acquiring an education than the schools at that time in the neighborhood afforded. In view of which they raised money for the erection of the buil- ding by voluntary contributions. The school was commenced immediately after the comple- tion of the building, with Robert Andrews, A. Mw, a graduate of Trinity College, Dublin, as principal. In this academy, among others, George Wolf,, who subsequently became Gov- ernor of this State, and the unflinching friend of the present common school system, received a classical education. A debating society was also connected with this school, and it is said that George, with a number of young men, Heminiscmces. 277 . who came out from Easton, on horseback, took an active part, in the debates. On relin- quishing his studies under Mr. Andrews, he acted as principal in the academy with credit. "The old academy was, in 1826, abandoned for school purposes. It had, however, exerted a potent influence upon the people in the en- tire community, and impressed on them the importance of a higher education. It was un- der Presbyterian control, and its influence had not a little to do with the establishment of Lafayette College, in 1826. This academy is still standing, although it has been dismanteled, but the substantial exterior, with moss covered roof, presents nearly the same appearance it did three quarters of a century ago, when fre- quented by such men as George Wolf, Thomas McKeen, and others who have since occupied prominent tpositions in the world." p. 437. By referring to the Author's history of the Settlement church, p. 79, the reader will learn that the Academy was definitely set apart for a house of worship, in 1813. The Author's father attended school in the building during the latter days in which it was used for such purposes. He was born in 1806, and when about seventeen years, of age studied there, which would indicate that it was used for school, as well as church purpose a, 278 lieminiscences. , J i as late as 1823. Under date of February 16th, 1878, he says : "As regards the Academy, I can remember going to school in it. I think the little frame school house [near by and to take the place of the Academy for snhool purposes] w^s built when I was about seventeen years old. I stud- ied grammar in it [Academy] under Thomas Moffat, I think, Vv^hen I was about that age. I can give you the names of some of the teachers who taught in the Academy before that : — William G. Scott, who married Miss Lattimer; William Boyd, brother of Dr. Boyd; Mr. Kellog, from Bucks county; and ; Mr. Price, who married Miss Brown, daughter of Dr. Boyd's first wife. These are all I can remember. It was, however, nothing more than a common school. It had ceased to be used as an academy before my day. I think I can remember to have heard that it was pro- cured from Thomas McKeen,but in what way, I do not remember to have heard. I remem- ber that there was a tolerably good library there when I was a boy, and it was removed to John Wilson's. I remember that I borrow- ed some books out of it while it was at Mr. Witeon'g, but I do not know what became of it." 'Remimsc.ences. 279 The Old Academy Library was sold at auc- tion, we believe, and thus dispersed. The following are the records of the "Old Academy Debating Society."

The meet- ing, after maturely cosidering the business, were of the opinion that it was laudable and commendable, and not only so, but highly, useful — to young gentlemen in particular- — as it is a means of acquiring learning and infor- mation, and the best method of dispelling the fear and awkward bashfulness which some 288 Reminiscences. men are troubled with in speaking before a public assembly.

The following sketclies have been famished by James Rosebrugh Learning, M. D., great- gr^nd-son of Rev. efohn 'Roabrugh.— Author. The following is the account of the family of James Rosebrugh, and of Margaret Wilson his wife, as taken down at his dictation by his grand-son, James Rosebrugh, at his home in Groveland, in 1839. Rev. John Rosebrugh was born in the K'orth of Ireland in 1724 — ^the month and day not known. He came to America when quite young and settled in Kew Jersey. He was married first when but nineteen, and his wife died at the birth of their first child, which died at the same time. His wife's christian name was Sarah, but her curname is not known. His second wife's name was Jane Ralston of Allen township, l^orthampton county. Pa. James Ralston, her father, was a man of great enterprise, real worth and piety. He died in July 1776, ared 76 years. Mary Cummock was the name of his wife. Samuel 314 Beminisoences. and John — ^their sons; and Jane andLetitia — their daughters. Samuel was the oldest son. John was a member of the Provincial Con- gress through the Revolutionary war, a worthy man and a good ruling elder. He was also a member of the convention which formed the old constitution or articles of confederation. He died in 1795, aged 65 years, much lamen- ted by all who knew him. John Ealston's wife was Christiana King, a daughter of JameS King and Mary Walker his. wife. Letitia Ralston married Capt. Ben- jajfiinrWallaqe, who was taken prisoner with General Brown by the British at, Long Island in the Revolutionary war. Rev. John Rosebrugh had but one brother in America— his name was "William, and he resided in 'New Jersey. Robert and John were his sons. After "William^s death, .fohn, the youngest son, went and lived with his father's brother (Rev. John Rosebrugh, after whom he was named), until he was of age, when he returned to Kew Jersey and was married and moved to Canada where he died. Rev. John Rosebrugh had five children; James, Lettice, Mary, Sairah, and John. James was born April 24th, 1767,'" at Mans- field "Woodhouse, New Jersey, on the creek Muscan-knee-conk. Letitia was born the 12th BmrnisGemes, %kb of April, 1769, at the satne place. Mary was horn in Allen townsMp, ]S"ortliampton Co*., Pa. Sarah and John were borii at the same placei. James Rosebrugh married Peggie Wilson, October 18th, 1792; Peggie "Wilson was the daughter of- Charles Wilson and Margaret McKair his wife. Charles Wilson's father's name was Hugh, who lived in Scotland^ ahd from thence moved to the l^orth of Ireland, and from there moved to America and pur- chased a large tract on the Canasauca creek, which ran through it. It was afterwards divi- ded into six large farms, all of which has at the present time passed out of the possession of the family. Hugh Wilson's wife's name was" Sarah Ackey [Craig?]. Her brother, William Ack- ey, was a Captain under king William, who was a Protestant and fighting against his father, king James, a Roman Catholic, at the Boyne Water in Ireland. The army was commanded by Duke Shamburg. Brave Duke Shamburg lost his life in crossing the Boyne Water, which caused momentary con- sternation amOng his men, when "King William said, be not dismayed At the loss of our cOiiimander ; For God will be yovir king to-day, And I will be a general under." 1 316 Heminisoerwes. » Charles Wilson had six children; Sarah, Christiana, Hugh, Ann, John, and Margaret. Ann was born in 1763 and lived three months. John, August 9th, 1755. Sarah, January, 1757. Christiana, January, 1759. Margaret, May 15th, 1768. Hugh, January 15th, 1761. Sarah died at the age of 21, Christiana at 80 years of age, and Hugh in 1846, aged 85 years. Sketch of the Life of JAMES ROSEBEUGH, with Anecdotes. James Rosebrugh, son of Rev. John Rose- brugh and Jean Ralston Rosebrugh, was born April 24th, 1767. His father was the pastor of the Presbyterian congregation at Oxford and Mansfield Woodhouse, !N"ew Jersey. Af- ter the birth of his sister Lettice, his father moved to "Forks of Delaware," in 1772. Rev. John Rosebrugh had supplied the con- gregation in Allen township — "The Settle- ment" — since 1769, and became the Stated- Supply in 1770. James remembered going with his father to the Meetinghouse in December, 1776, when in his ninth year, and was witness of what took place upon that interesting occasion. His father after earnest conversation with his people, took a musket and putting it to his Bemmiscences. ■. 317 shoulder, said; "All who believe it is their duty to go to their country's assistance, will follow me," and marching down the lane, all followed him. James rode the pastor's gray horse by his side until they arrived at the brow of the little hill in the main road, when his father took him from the horse and kiss- ing him told him to go home to his mother and be a good boy until his father should re- turn. He never saw his father again, but his Godly mother brought up all her children in the principles of eminent piety and patriotism. W^hen James was growing toward manhood, he felt the need of a better education than was afforded by "The Settlement," and he began to look around for the means of its accom- plishment. He could not leave his mother with his three sisters and a young brother to go to a distant school, consequently he must endeavor to establish a superior school in the vicinity. It was necessary to raise money to build a house and hire a teacher. Young Rosebrugh went among his neighbors and friends and succeeded in getting the means for building a commodious stone building, long afterwards known as "The Academy," which was also frequently used as a place of worship. An accomplished teacher was employed and the project was a success, many receiving ] 818 B&mniscenees. * wi-fehin its academic walls such advantage® in learning as before could only be had by going away from home to a distant city. Many of its scholaFS were fitted for usefulness, some became distinguished — among others George Wolf, the great Governor of Pennsylvania. When James Rosebrugh went to old Mr. Wolf tO' get his subscription for the building and teacher, and to get him to promise to send George to school, he first met with a. re- fusal. Mr. Wolf said "George" had already as good' an education as he had, and he had done well enough. But, said young Rose- brugh, "dont you want to give George a chance to rise in the world ? If he has an edu- cation, he may be Governor of the State." Mr. Wolf laughed at the idea of "his George" being Governor, but he subscribed. George went to the school and became one of its best graduates, George studied law, and after his admission to the bar, fell into dissolute habits, and his disappointed friends feared that all was lost. In order to save him from the dreadful fate which threatened him, they nominated him as a candidate for the Steite Legislature, and appointed a committee to wait upon him for his acceptance of the nomi- nation. The committee found him stupidly drunk m th^ tavern yard, and it was some time before they could make him comprehend their errand. Finally raising himself upon Ma hand, he said "Gentlemen, I understand yo^r object, and I trust you may not be disappoint- ed; I am drunk now and have been drunk three weeks, but I accept your nomination and will drink no more." He was elected, he kept his word, became a faithful and enlight- ened representative, and finally Governor, and laid the foundation for his reputation for wis- dom and integrity, so dear to all patriots. A family by the name of Hower were near neighbors : the father, advanced in years, died, and at the funeral the eldest son, of middle age, was inordinate in his expressions of grief. jSTo one could comfort him. At last Mr. Rose- brugh went to him and told him he ought not to grieve so inconsolably, for in the course of nature, his father could not have lived much longer. "Oh!" said the son sobbingly, "that is not what I cry for, but I am now the old Hower." October 18th, 1792, James Rosebrugh was married to Margaret, daughter of Charles and Margaret McKair "Wilson. Their first child, a daughter, Jane, was one year and a half old when the young family with all their effects started for the "Genesee Country ,"^ as 320 Reminiscences. Western New York was then called— the "El Dorado" of those seeking new homes in the wilderness. They moved in covered wagons, driving their herds and flocks with them, en- camping wherever night overtook them as they journeyed through the almost trackless forest. After some weeks they arrived at their destination, the Genesee Valley, which extends from Lake Ontario about sixty miles southward. The Genesee Kiver, rising in Pennsylvania, crosses the State of l!^ew York, breaks through the rocky wall of a spur of the AUeghenies, at Portage, forming a series of falls of a few miles in extent, making a deep cut with bauks from one to four hun- dred feet high, then continuing its rapid course deep dowft between its high banks for ten or twelve miles, it enters the valley where Mount Morris now is, then Squaky Hill, and thenoe continues its peaceful course to the lake, meandering its serpentine course through a valley of great fertility and beauty. South of Mount Morris the valley extends about twenty miles to the hills, forming an amphitheatre, thftt close it in beyond Dansville. In this valley are the tributaries of the Genesee, the Canisceoga and Cashiqua creeks. It was into this beautiful valley that this small company of emigrants entered and came to a halt at the lleminiacenGes. 321 foot of a wooded hill, which seemed to divide the valley at this point — Conesus lake on the east, with its valley and streams ; and on the west the level valley extended far away to the blue hills. To them it was the promised land and here they pitched their tents. On the 4th of July, 1795, the whole party on horseback, celebrated the young nation's nineteenth birthday by going up the hill among the groves of oak, chestnut, and hickory, to look for a home. Years afterward, Mr. Rosebrugh named this hill Groveland, when the land was divided into townships. When they were arrived at the summit, they had an extended view of 20 to 30 miles to the south and west and north; they could look down upon the dense forest on the "flats," the level tops pf the trees wa^ ving like the "floor of the sea." They halted at a spring which formed a rivulet, running off into a little ravine, and the men alighted from their horses and with their cups dipped the cool bubbling water and gave the women to drink. Just then a rustling was heard, and looking around, they saw a bear in the tall grass standing upright, behind a log where he had been sleeping.. He seemed to b e earnestly watching them, but apparently becoming sat- isfied, he dropped down and slowly ambled away. All considered this a good omen, and Sf^ ReirtMscenm. hhtk %\iQf fesdlv6d to build thdt house; but it W^s not tirltil the next spring that they were ready to to6ve liito the log palace. In the meantime they lived in theit encampment by a little stf eani, a little company of Indians be^ in^ their immediate neighbors. During tJhe Winter, being on intimate friend^ tetms, they became acquaihted trith some of the peculiar Indian customs. One Was that new-born in- fants are plunged into a running strekm, and to do this then, a hole had to be cut in the ice. In 'thfe spring df 1796 they took possession tirthdir house, and commenced to clear and ploiigli and plant for their future subsistence; btit iatitil they Were abk tb reap their own h&Vigst, ytr. Rosebtugh bad to buy corn from the Indians at Squaky Hill. This corn was of the sdft variety, and they prepared it as the Indians did, by bruising it in a kind of mortar, dihe wobds'Wel'e full of game, and the streams Wi^re 'Ml of fi^h, consequently they were in no Want. ^The^CMief of Squaky Hill was- a noble speci- naen of manhood^-^seven feet tall, and was kiiown as ''Ta/ir Chief." H,e was naturally of afkind and^geintle spirit, and loved the ameni- ties' of civilised life, and he and Mr. Rose- brugh were «oon warm friends. One morn- ing as Mr. Rosebrugh was chopping wood Bemnmeiiiees. i^ before Ms door, he saw an Indian far away under the trees, coming towards him, and he soon recognized, by his great height, his dus- ky friend, who, after salutation, made "known his errand. The Indian had wounded a deer which had run t)ver the hill, and he desired his friend's dog to catch it. Mr. Eosebrugh dropped his axe and went with him and the deer was soon caught. The Tall Chief skinn- ed it, and then said, "When Yankee dog help Indian catch deer — w^ skin him — one quarter; but you my very good friend — ^I skin — ^give one Half;" then with his knife he divided the game in equal parts. At another time Tall Chief and his nephew Quaway stopped at dinner. Quaway helped himself with his own fork and spoon. Tall Chief checked him with a significant *'ugh tos cos" (not good), and then in Indian, explained that it was the custom of the whites to wait until they were helped. Tall Chief once told Mr. Rosebrugh to let him know if any Indian should steal anything, arid he would make him restore it. But, said 'Mr. Rosebrugh, it would be impossible to identify the thief. Yes, said Tall Chief, it is easy. I Will aisk each member of the tribe, and the guilty one will not deny it. Mr. Eosebrugh was &e first white ig^Mler'm 324 lieminiscences. Grrovelaiid Hill, but there was a flourisliing village at "Williamsburgli, founded by Colonel Williamson; the "Wadsworth brothers were at Big Tree, now Geneseo, and these were his white neighbors. Mrs. Rosebrugh had been on a visit, or tea drinking, at Williamsburgh, and was return- ing on horseback at the close of the day. Just before ascending the hill, the path led across a ravine, in the bottom of which was a rapid stream or brawling brook. At this the horse stopped to drink, and she thought over the occurrences of the day. She heard a cracking noise which she supposed was made by the birds going to roost, but it left no im- pression on her mind nor awoke her from her reverie, when there was a piercing cry of an animal near by, of a terrific character. The horse crouched down, trembling with fear, and she could not force him to proceed un- til the cry was repeated, when he bounded out of the gully and dashed up the hill, Mrs. Rosebrugh holding fast to the mane with both hands and giving full rein to the horse, for she was aware that the animal was in pursuit by its cry, at which every time it was repeated, the horse increased its speed, until the open clearing was reached, when the cry ceased, but the horse ran on and leaped the bars before the house, land Menrndsoe/mee. ^£5 Mr. Rosebr ugh opening tlle'doo^to see what was the matter, the horse thrust in its head and gave a snOrt of satisfaction at its escape. The animal was no doubt a panther^ Horses and dogs weije of great value, for if lost they were not easily replaced; indeed the livestock had to be carefully guarded against the attacks of wild beasts, and a strong coura- geous and faithful dog consequently, was the trusted sentinel in defending the flocks and herds gathered at night near the dwelling. Mrs. Rosebrugh, on horseback, on some er- rand, was accompanied by the faithful watch- dog. A rattlesnake, coiled up near the, path, attracted his attention, and he stopped to, bark at it, running around it, while the snake with its head elevated in the middle of the coil, turned as the dog went, never for a moment taking its eye off the dog. Mrs. Rosebrugh rode on thinking that the dog would grow tired of his fruitless attempt and follow her; but when out of sight, the dog's bark was quite as eager as when she was near. She turned and rode back and getting off the horse, she lifted a rock and cast it at the snake, ho- ping to kill it, but the stone falling near the snake, like a flash, attracted its attention, and in that instant, the dog seized it snd shook it to pieces, fragments flying in every direction. Quick &8 he had been, the snake had bitten hkn and his head soon began to swell. She went home with him immgdiately to take care of him, but iie disappeared and could nowhere be found, and all supposed he had gone off to die. However, after several days, he came from under the house, nearly starved, and with the hair fallen off his head. Mr. Rose- brugh found that the dog had dug a hole in the moist earth under the house, and had bur- ied his head in it, instinct teaching him to usq a sp6edy cure. Snakes would also bite horses and cattle, while feeding in the 'tall grass, and thus many were lost every year. The snake remaining quiet, coiled up and ready, would steike iat the animals' heads as they approached its seclusion. As swine escaped, and were known to feed upon the dead snakes, it was tbought that they were unaffected by the bite and poison, and on that account their presence in ihe woods was supposed to assist in ridding the lands of this secret and terrible enemy. Mr. Rosebrugh put these opinions to the test and found them fallacious. One day while chopping, he killed- a large snake and coiled'it up in/the path over which the herd of swine went out each morning to the forest, and re- turned again at night. "WTien evening came on, the herd were feturnihg, headed by the Memiimmm^* ^7 old sow, their grunting couid be heard for a long distance; but when they approached, they were suddenly aware of the presence of their enemy, for they came to a halt, and with bristles up, their roaring noise was terrific. At last the mother-leader advanced cautiously until she could see the snake, when she imme- diately changed her note of call, and struck out into the woods, and went around the dreaded foe, and came into the path beyond^ her children following her, and then contin- ued their way home. It was evident that their ke'en sense of smell was their great protection, and that they avoided l^e enemy until they knew it was dead. When the snow malted in the spring of the year, the snakes crawled oUt of their dens and sunned themselves under- the warm side of some log. Following the Indian custom, the settlers set fire to 'the woods, and the serpents overtaken were unable to get out of the way, and thus many perished. The settlers jalso 'congregated in the winter^ and hunted the snakes in their dens, and digging them out, found gr^at numbers of all kinds^ habituating -together, and in this way many more Were de- stroyed. ■■ ' . Mr. Bosebrughatidto, Andrew Ciilberts'dn, hear neighbors, frequently ' worked together 328 Beminiscences. alternately on each others land, for companion- ship. One day on Mr. Culbertson's land, they were reaping wheat with sickles, as the cus- tom then was. They had passed the stump of a tree, around which was much tall grass, in which were a few heads of wheat standing. Mr. Culbertson stepped back to cut them, but in a moment afterwards, called out that he was bitten. Mr. Eosebrugh killed the snake, which was crawling away, then stripped the bark off some young ash trees and made three bands and tied them above the place of the bite on the limb, then telling Mr. Culbertson to get home as soon as possible, he went into the woods in search of a weed believed by the Indians to be a certain antidote for the poison of the bite, the virtues of which he had learned from "Tall Chief." The remedy was soon found and was apparently effica- cious, yet it was months before the patient was able to attend to his farm work. Bears were plenty, but were harmless as a rule, unless attacked, or very hungry. Young pigs were their especial fondness; for these they prowled about. Their mo- tion seemed slow and was awkward, and Mr. Rosebrugh, to test their ability to get away, once hid behind a tree when he saw VLQ coming, and jumped out after it when Ilemmi8emo6». 3£9 it passed, but it soan ran away from Mm, al- though, he ran with his utmost speed, and was swift afoot. Panthers were hidden away during the day time in the dense forest on the ttats, and in the deep gullies, up which they would come in the night to meet their mates and to hunt for food, screaming at intervals as they went. This cry in the distance sounded like the voice of a wo- man or that of a child.' It was not safe to answer this cry for it might attract the animal. One night cries were hefard in the distant gul- ly and coming nearer. Mr. Rosebrugh went to his woodpile and pounded upon a hollow log, the sound of which could be heard along way off, and would not attract the- panther j should it be one. In a short time the cry. could be recognized as human, and he went to them with a light and found friends from^ the Settlement who had lost their way. One day these friends sitting with Mrs. Rosebrugh, were surprised to hear her say to the bound girl; Go to the store and get some tea. But when they sat down to the table they found the tea was made from hemlock boughs, and that the store was the deep gully shad^ by hemlock trees. _ • Soon neighbors came iiij^ ..and, villages sprang 330 lieminiscences. up as by magic. Williamsburgh, the first set- tled, decreased; but Geneseo, Mount Morris, and Dansville, are beautiful to this day, but not more so than was that valley in the age of the first settlers. Mr. Rosebrugh became a leader among them naturally. He was their local justice of the peace, and he represented the great county of Ontario, which covered all the territory west of Cayuga bridge, in the state legislature at Albany. Here he became intimately acquainted with Martin Van Buren, afterwards President of the United States; Col. Young, Gren'l RoOt, and others then, and since prominent in the state. During the war of 1812, he went home from Albany and raised a company of his neighbors as volunteers — was elected Captain and went with them to the frontier under the proclama- tion of Gen'l Smith, who proposed an imme- diate invasion of Canada. But after weeks of impatient waiting and drilling, embarking and disembarking, and the foolish and unnecessary burning of Qneenstown, to their utter disgust, they were ordered into winter quarters. Their discontent was changed into despair by the breaking out of an epidemic of fatal tenden- cies. The disease was "Pneumonia Typhoidis," commenced in the British camp and spread through the American lines by contagion. Many of the volunteers were taken with it and Jlemmscefwes. 331 died, others were sent home, disabled, among others Captain Rosebrugh, who ever after- wards suffered with cough in consequence. This "Epidemic," the only name by which it was known among the people, spread over the whole country, being carried to their homes by the returning soldiers. In about three years it had reached the Gulf of Mexico, where, losing its epidemic character, it became en- demic in southern cities, and in the last ten or twelve years has slowly crept northward again as a terrible scourge. No result of the war was so disasterous as the generation of this disease. Mr. Rosebrugh continued to perform his legislative duties at Albany, after the war had closed, and was elected a member of the con- vention for the revision of the organic law of the state, in 1821. when Livingston county was formed out of Ontario, Mr. Rosebrugh represented her in the legislature — ^was one of the county judges, and also the first surrogate, which office he held for many years, and this terminated his public life. His sons had grown up, and took the active management of the farm upon them, while he busied himself more particularly with his garden, his fruit- trees, his bees, his books, and corresponcience. Thus he passed the evening of his days. About four o'clock each morning he arose and took a brisk walk of three or four miles, then 332 Beminiscmces. ■(3ame back and liad a nap in his easy chair be- ibre breakfast. During the forepart of the day he busied himself in his garden, among his fruit-trees. In the afternoon he walked to the post-office, about a mile and a half distant, got his papers and correspondence, and return- ed to read and answer. Occasionally an old companion in the legislature would call upon him and spend a day or two in recounting scenes in which they had participated, at which the writer was an interested listener. Mr. Rosebrugh was a ready rhymer — a lover of Burns^s poetry, which he could repeat. This faculty he often used for the amusement of those around him in the legislature, and some- times a squib in rhyme, thrown off on the instant, was passed from hand to hand and copied, and passed again, and more than once had decisive effect upon the subject under con- sideration. His conversational powers were fine, enriched with anecdote, a good memory, and a happy manner, which was increased even by an impediment in his speech. Be- fore commencing to speak, his eyes would incessantly wixik and his under lip tremble for a few moments, but all hesitation would cease as soon as he began to talk. This prevented him from public speaking, but he gave the closest attention to the business, and was an efficient member. He was called to preside at county meetings, &c., which he could do so well and so acceptably. In 1845 his grand-children invited his friends and relatives to meet in his cherrytree grove to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of his arri- val in Groveland, on the: fourth of July. About two hundred were present. Reverend Lewis Cheeseman delivered an appropriate ad- dress, the Reverend Thomas Aikman opening with prayer and closing with the benediction. It was a time long to be remembered. Evenly and happily his life wore on until November 18th, 1850, when he passed to a better life. Mrs. Roaebrugh survived him a few years, eyen going back to the Settlement with Rev. Samuel Sturgis, to visit her aged brother, John Wilson, but now they rest side by aide in the gyaveya^d at the "Gully School- house^''' awaiting- the resurrection of the dead. ■[f he follov^g. anecdoteg Mr. Rosebrugh re- lated, and probabljv-vK9f;^.,^9m hi^,fg,tli^E., At the first meeting of Synod ioa Philad'a, two yo^Jn.g^ clergymen.: ^.ttended on horseback ^pm Yirginia^ Qft t]b,eir vs^ay, arriving at. £b yillage^^ear night, they inquired for a Biieeby- tGjijiafl,, hoping to fipd lodging for the* night.

He gladly received them — showed them great attention — had their horses taken care of and supper prepared for them- selves. After a long evenings talk, instead of asking the young ministers to lead in devo- tions, he thought it would be a good thing to show them how well he could do it himself. His method was patriarchal. He first read a chapter in the Bible, which he explained to the family, then a version of the Psalms — lining it in singing, before prayer. This night the chapter in course was the 4th of Numbers; "badgers' skins," he read beggars' skins. WTien he had finished reading, he turned to the family and said ; There is nothing of particular importance in this chapter, it merely goes to show the blessedness of the gospel dispensa- tion, for now each man can enjoy his religion under his own vine and fig tree, but then, just so soon as a man became too poor to pay his tithes, off went his skin to be used in covering the articles in the tabernacle. Rev. John Rosebrugh, in making his pasto- ral visits, came to a widow living alone. He found her at her devotion and did not disturb her until she was through. She read the scripture, then lined a Psalm as she sang it, before prayer. He asked her why she lined the Psalm, as there were none to hear her Beminiscmces, 985 when she was alone. "Ah !" said she "it is sa quiet I fain would dight my gab twice wi it." Uiiw^v/ 1 * DISPOSITION OF THE CLYDE ESTATE. The following from the pen of James Kerr Dawes, Esq., published in the Easton "Free Press" for January 26th, 1877, will serve to connect the Settlement of the past with our own day, and thus suitably close these reminis- cences. — Author. Deaih of Mrs. Nancy Boyd. Through inadvertence we failed to prepare in time for last week's Free Press a notice of the death of Mrs. Nancy Boyd, who died at her farm residence in the "Settlement," East Allen Township, near Bath, on Friday, the 12th inst., at the advanced age of ninety-one years. The death of this aged lady is an event de- serving of more than a passing notice, as she is almost the last of the links connecting the old residents of the "Settlement" with our present history. The Irish "Settlement" exists now only in memory, but was once well known over this section of the country, being, as our older \ Bemniscences. 337 people remember, so called because of a. colony of Scotch-Irisb Presbyterians, who, with, trifty forethought, chose the rich limestone fields along the MonOcacy and Calasaqua as the place from which should spread the faith of the fol- lowers of John Calvin. The "Settlement" extended from what is now Bath to Weayers- ville, and had a church and school at the Weaversville end, Horners, which church is yet used on alternate Sundays, and where also is the old burying ground, with its old tomb- stones telling of those who lived and died over a century ago, in which one is seen telling where is ths grave of Mrs. Horner, tomahawk- ed in early morning by the savage Indians in the days when even so near Easton did those red men maraud, and in which burying ground were last week deposited the remains of Mrs-. Boyd, surrounded by the graves of those who nearly a century ago were her playmates smld friends ; at the other end of the Settlement, about a mile from Bath, was the "Acadeimy/' where church was held every alternate Sunday until a few years ago, when the erection of the church at Bath caused an abandonment of the "Academy," and a transfer of divine service to the more elegant and comfortable church at Bath. The land on which this "Academy" stands was, by the way, a gift to thecongrega- 1 338 MemmiscenGffs, M tion by the late Col, Thomaa McKeen, Eastou. Mrs. Boyd was nearly ninety-one years of age, having been born April 22, 1786. She was of pure Scotch-Irish descent ; in the old graveyard near "Weavers ville can be seen gravestones which tell of Michel Clyd and of Biddy Clyd, his wife, who lived in the "Settle- ment about 1740, and whose son, James Clyde, was the father of Nancy Clyde, the Mrs. Boyd of this article, and the uncle of the James Clyde known to the elders of the county as 'Squire Clyde, of the "Settlement," who died ten or twelve years since, at an advanced age. This elder James Clyde, son of Michel, was married to Betty Kerr, she being the daughter of James K^rr, who was the father of James Kerr, the father of James Kerr of the "Settle- ment," known to many of our older residents, who died about twenty-four years since, this Betty Kerr's father being the great-great-great grandfather of the writer. James Clyde, the father of Mrs. Boyd, had three [four] children, mz. : UsTancy, J*anent would have been entitled to; lie announcement excited no little flutter amongst the heirs, and we have heard it. rumored that a oonsultation was held on the matter and a plan discussed of an agreement ajoaongst the grandchildren to make the prop- erty, by agreement, follow what was judged BemrmcmceSi 3^3 to be the old gentleman's desire, and the ©Ml- dreii of the grandchildren, in case of theif pa- rents' death, to take their parents' sbai?e. Whether the rumor was correct or not, the agreement was never consummated^ and the will stood as written. The consequences have been far reaching, for Mrs. Boyd died child^ less, and the provision made in case of that event coming to pass, went into effect. But the fifty years during which Mrs. Boyd survi- ved her father were productive of great chan- ges in the several families. Br. Boydj h^ husband, died many years ago, and so the an- nuity to him of $50 never took effect. . When Mr. Clyde died he had, as before stated,, six grandchildren, viz^; James Clyde Kennedy, son of his daughter Jane, and John, William^ Eliza Ann, Almira, and Sarah, children of hia daughter, Rebecca MulhoUand. Of these onl^ one survived Mrs. Boyd, and to that one th^ estate descended, the children of the rest being excluded. Had however this one also died, and she is a lady advanced in years, then, in- stead of the estate going to her and her chil- dren, it would have taken an entirely different course, and would have gone to all the gireaiJ- grandehildren, none of whom now get any- thing. Of these six grandchildren (1), James Clyde Kennedy was married to a Miiss Hetty 344 Meminiscences. Sherred, of Warren county, N. J., and died, leaving three children, Dr. Samuel Kennedy, of Warren county, Mrs. Jane Clark, wife of Dr. Clark, of Belvidere, and Mrs. Sarah Corss, wife of Charles Corss, Esq., a prominent law- yer of Lock Haven, and a graduate and atone time a tutor in Lafayette College. Mrs. Het- ty Kennedy survived her husband and was with Mrs. Boyd at the time of her decease; (2), Dr. John MulhoUand was married to Miss Elizabeth Kern, of Bath, sister of Dr. George Kern, and died, leaving his widow and one child surviving him, viz. : Jfary Rebecca, wife of Hiram B. Fish, Esq., one of the members of the Legislature from this county, both of whom are now living at Bath, in this county; (3.) Dr. William J/ulhoUand was married to MiBa Elizabeth Van Antwerp, of Asbury, N. J., and died at BrooMin, N. Y., where he had taken up his residence, leaving survi- ving him a widow and four children; (4.) Almira was married to William Bloeckly, of Bath, and died without children, her hus- band marrying again. Our townsman, Ed- ward Blceckly, is a son of this William Bloeckly by the second marriage. (5.) Eliza Ann Avas married to Alexander Miller, and died, leaving two sons, Arthur, residing with Jfrs. Boyd at the time of her death, and John Clyde, residing at Rising Sun, Reminiscences. 346 Dade county, Ga. Mrs. Boyd left a will, in which, after sundry specific bequests of family relics to other grand-nephews and nieces, she made these two Millers her legatees, and of which will she made them the Executors. (6.) Sarah was married to Robert McDowell, and resides at Slatington, Lehigh county, her hus- *band being Superintendent of the Lehigh Slate Company; to her the estate, by the sin- gular provision of the will descends, she being the only surviving grandchild. She is a lady between sixty-five and seventy years of age, and has four daughters, one the wife of David McKenna, of the Slate Company, one the wife of Wm. H. Gish, Cashier of the Slatiugton Bank, one the wife of Lieutenant Jefferson K. Moser, of the United States !N"avy, one single daughter, and one son, Robert Murray Mc- Dowell, well known in the fashionable circles of our city during his course of study at Lafay- ette College ; Mrs. McDowell has several grand- children. "We scarce think that when old Mr. Clyde directed that his daughter Nancy should only have a life estate in her farm, he supposed that that life estate would last for fifty years, and that before the residuary bequest took effect a half century should have passed, and the fifth generation be present to witness the finale of the singular, or erroneous provision of his will.

Allen. In addition to the children of Hori. William Allen ^ as given in the Genealo^es, there was another daughter, we believe, Mar- garet, who married James DeLancy. She inherited from her father the land adjoining the borough of Bath on the south, now in the possession of the heirs of Gen. No. 10 Josepih Horner, a descendant of Joseph Horner.* Sem Allison. James Allison lived on the prop- erty now owned by Daniel Saeger. 560 Appendix. Berlin. James Berlin, M.

We have learned that James Boyd, who married 10 Elizabeth Lattimer, was from Delaware, and not connected with the Settle- ment Boyds. Brown. Samuel Brown, in 1778, purchased a tract of land and took up his residence upon it, but sold it in 1777 to Jacob Frock. This property is now owned by Morgan Emanuel, Sr. Having sold this property, he removed to the farm in East- Allen township owned by the late William Brown, of Bethlehem (his grand- son), at the time of his death.

Chidsey. Edward H. Chidsey, Esq., of Easton, Penn'a, married 2 10 McKeen, a descendant of James McKeen. See Ap. Clyde. It seems the name of the daughter of Michael and Biddy Clyde, numbered 6 (See Gen. pp. 80 and 34), was Letitia. She was born in 1756 and died August 12th, 1822. She married David Kerr, a son of Wm. Kerr (Barren Billy). See Ap. Wm. Kerr. From the old family-record, we learn the dates of the birth of Gen. No. 5 John Clyde's children.

Since the Genealogies were in print, our attention has been called to the fact that the Dawes family spell their name thus, and not Daws, as found in Gen. p. 41. Also a scond informant tells us that Mrs. Dawes's name is !N"ancy Jane, and not Nancy Frew, as given by our first informant, and as inserted in the Genealogies. DeLancy.

Dinsmore, of Bloomington, HI. is a grandson. Dobbin. Widow Dobbin was a sister of William Boyd, and perhaps was a member of the John Boyd family, but of this we have no 364 Appendix. positive evidence. She resiife^f upon the prop- erty now held by Valentine Deshler, owning two hundred and eighty-nine acres. The deed to her bore date of April 8th, 1751. This was part of the ''*Page Tract," otherwise known as the "Manor of Cha^N'ton." She died in 1766.

Eaaton Express , Oct. 8. 1877. JOHN K. HAYS. Died in Williamsport, Pa. on the morning of March 11th, 1878, in the full assurance of a blessed immortality, John K. Hays, in the eighty-second year of his age. He was the son, and only child of John Hays, Esq., formerly High Sheriff of Lycoming county. Sheriff Hays was from Northampton county, Pa., and was married, on the 25th of May, 1795, to Miss Jane Horner, of the same county, and soon after emigrated to Lycoming county, where he had previously purchased a farm on Appendipc. ^.| the west side of Lycoming creek, about five miles north of T^illiamsport. There he settled, and there John K. Hays was born Januaipy 15th, 1797. At a suitable age he was sent to the Classical School of Rev '.Chomas Hood, •ol' Buffalo Valley, Pa. Among his fellow etu^ dents were Dr. James S. Dougal, of Milton, and Dr. William Wilson, JFlavel Clingan, Thomas T. Smiley, and other noted men in Pennsylvania; and afterwards finished his ed^ ucation under Rev. Dr. J. F. Grier, of Reading. Under such influences young Hays was educa- ted, and the seed thus sown in his early child- hood a rich, ripe harvest bore in after years. Descended from a stock in whose breast glow- ed an indomitable love of liberty, his anoestore espoused the cause of civil freedom in this country. His grandfather, John Hays,, .4y,» was an elder in the Presbyterian church of the Forks of the Delaware, (now Alleutown,) in which the lamented Rev. John Rosbjirg ofl^Lci- ated. The manly piety and heroic devotioii to the cause of liberty induced this reverend pastor, with his elders and the members of his church, to organize a. company, and. at the ap- pointed time shouldered their muskets, and. pro- ceeded to Philadelphia. Their pastor wentiin the capacity of a private soldier. During . the retreat of our army through 'New Jersey this patriotic pastor was most inhumanly murdered 358 Appendix. by a drunken British soldier, and left welter- ing in his blood. tFohn Hays soon found the mangled body of his beloved minister, and at the risk of his life, with a saddened and moist- ened eye, consigned it the next day to the grave, in an obscure place, within the limits of the city of Trenton. The writer of this ar- ticle was well acquainted with John K. Hays for forty years. He was a worthy descendant . of such a noble ancestry. Through his long life he maintained a reputation for strict hon- esty and sterling integrity; a most inteligent student of God's Word, and at the same time not neglectfiil of the solid and substantial lit- erature of ancient or modern times. He was a Presbyterian from conviction and education, and to the writer frequently, during his illness, expressed his fiill confidence in the finished righteousness of Christ as the sole foundation of his hope for a blessed immortality beyond the grave. He frequently rendered thanks to God for the mercies vouchsafed to him in ear- ly youth, for his pious ancestry, and above all, for the great love of his blessed and glorified Redeemer, whose rod and staff comforted him as he was about to enter the dark valley and shadow of death. 8.

James, son of James and Elizabeth jfiTerr, died in hia fourth year, instead of sixty-fourth, as stated in the Genealogies. William Kerr lived in Moore township, above Chapman's Quarries. His name appears in the list of taxables of Moore township in 1780. See Reminiscences, p. 276. He was known as "Barren Billy" on account of the barrenness of the locality in which he lived, and to distinguish him from 3 William Kerr, son of the original James Kerr of the Settle- i ment. See Gen. p. 81. It seems this "Will- iam Kerr removed to Washington county, Pa., about 1796 — '98. His children were 2 James, 8 David, 4 "William, 5 John, 6 Mary, and 7 Jane. Of 2 James, 4 "William, and 5 John, we have learned nothing definite. S David was born April Ist, 1768, and died ^6v. 23rd, 1845. He married Letitla Clyde, it seemS) a daughter of Michael and Biddy Clyde. See Gen.— Clyde— pp. 30 and 34, No. 6. W"e have learned nothing further of this family than that Rev. William Brainerd Carr (Kerr), of Livermore, Westmoreland county, Penn'a, is a grandson.

See ~ Mul- hallon, p. 109. Lattimer. John Lattimer seems to have been the progenitor of the Irish Settlemeiit Lattimers. He died previous to August 18th, 1781. His wife's name was 2 Elizabeth. As ascertained from documents extant, relative to the settling up of his estate, their children 364 Appendix. were 3 Robert, 4 Arthur, 6 WHliam, and 6 Jolin. Of 3 Robert and 4 Arthur we have spoken in the Genealogies. Of 5 William and 6 John we have learned nothing. One inform- ant tells us that there were descendants of 4 ArUiur Lattimer, some of whom, at least, were deaf mutes. From information received since the Gene- alogies were in print, we learn that Gen. No. 4 William Lattimer, in the Robert Lattimer connection, married 2 Mary Ralston, instead of 3 Mary Walker; and that his brother, 4 Gen. No. 5 James Lattimer married 5 Mary Ann Walker. See Ap. under Gen. No. 5 James Lattimer. This we suppose is correct, and has for its support, in the absence of better testimony, the fact that one of Gen. No. 4 William Lattimer's children bore the mother's family name, Ralston Monroe. See. A second informant says our first informant has erred in stating that Gen. No. 15 William Lattimer married 24 Mary Ralston, as stated in the Genealcgies. This 24 Mary Ralston should be put down as the wife of Gen. No. 4 William Lattimer, father of Gen. No. 16 Will- iam Lattimer, instead of Mary Walker. Our second informant says that Gen. No. 15 Will- iam Lattimer married a German lady. Appendix. 365 Gen. No. 4 James Lattimer married 2 - Ma- ry Ann "Walker, of the Irish Settlement Wal- ker connection we presume. Their children were 3 John, 4 Robert, 5 Margaret, 6 Mary- Ann, 7 William, 8 I^ancy King. 3 John died without descendants. 4 Robert married 9 Mary Hood. They had one chiild, a son 10 John. 10 John married 11 Hannah Fretwell.

JAMES GRIER LONG. This honored elder of the Coatesville Pres- byterian church jw'as born March 5th, 1800, within the bounds of the Brandywine Manor congregation, Chester county, Pa., and died near Coates\T.lle March 2nd, 1878. He w^as the son of pious Presbyterian parents. His mother was the daughter of Rev. James Grier, pastor of Deep Run church, near Doylestown, Pa., a hundred years ago. His brother. Rev. J. F. Grier, D. I)., established a school of high order at Reading, Pa., and was the prime mover in the organization of the Presbyterian church of that city. Mr. Long's only brother. Appendix. 367 William T. Long, was an elder in the Upper Octorara dmrch at the time of his death, and his only sister was the mother of Rev. Williain H. Templeton, who for many years has been an honored missionary in the West. All through life James G. Long often spoke of his mother, and always with great reverence, ten- derness, and sweet affection, as a woman of marked Christian character. The Christian life of our departed brother was in perfect ac- cord with that of his pious ancestry. At an early age he united with the church, and by his consistent walk and conversation adorned the gospel of God our Saviour. In early life he married Miss Maria H. Grier, sister of Rev. John H. Grier, of Jersey Shore, Pa., and of the mother of Rev. J. Grier Ralston, D. t)., of Norristown, Pa. [See Gen. p. 52 N'o. 12.] His life so commended itself to the people of the church in which he was born that at the age of thirty he was chosen to serve as one of its elders. Having removed into the bounds of the Upper Octorara church, he was again chosen, by its members, to the same office. He removed his membership to the Coatesville church April 6th, 1850, and served it as an elder, with acceptance, until the day of his death. By the faithful discharge of the duties of his office he honored the churches which so honored him. He was often a member of 368 Ajj-pendix. Presbytery and Synod, and a commiBsioner to the Genreal Assembly of 1873. His last illness was of short duration. He was in his accus- tomed seat in the sanctuary on Sabbath, Feb- ruary 17th and served the bread and wine to his fellow-communicants at the Lord's table. It was his last visit to the house of God which he had loved so long and so well. Even then, though we knew it not, the Master was calling him to the marriage supper of the Lamb, where the song never ceases, the assembly never breaks up, and the benediction is never pronounced. After eight days' illness he fell asleep in Jesus, surrounded by his four sons and two daughters, all of whom are worthy members of the church, and one of whom. Rev. Thomas S. Long, is pastor of the First Pres- byterian church of Greenwich, 1^. J. He was a man of strong faith in Christ as his Saviour, affectionate and hospitable in his home, warm in his attachments to his friends, kind and gentle towards his neighbors, harmonious and pleasant in his official relations, and for his means, generous toward every good cause.

Died, at Slatington, Lehigh county, Pa., August 24th, 1878, after a painful and length- ened illness, Robert McDowell in the sixty- eighth year of his age. }dr. McDowell was born in "Wigtown, Wigr tpnshire,, Scotland. After having spent a few years of early youth in business in England he crossed to America, landing June 21, 1833. He came at once to the Lehigh Valley, in the opening np of whose rich stores of slate his business life has been spent. He resided first at "Whitehall, subsequently near Bath, and since 1854 at Slatington. He united with the Allen Township Presbyterian church, near Bath, July 24, 1834, of which he was a trustee five years before removing to Slatington. At this time he started at Whitehall the first Sun- day-school in Lehigh county outside of Allen- town. He was married October 27, 1838, to Sarah E. Mulhallon, who with four daughters 1 370 Appendix. and ono son, survive Mm. His death was the first break in the fkmily-circle. "With Sla- tington Mr. McDowell's history is most inti- mately connected. In 1851 the Presbyterian church, was oi^nized through his instrumen- tality, and he was an elder in it from that time until his death. To this church he gave his means, his labors, his love abundantly. He organized the Sabbath-school of the Presb^^te- rian church in 1856, and was its Superintend- ent and a Bible class teacher in it until his deaths In his will he requested his children to contribute always toward the support of the ministry, and the causes of Home and Foreign Missions as much as they could each afford. As a lay member of the Presbytery of Lehigh, within whose bounds the church of Slatington is situated, he was respected highly and confi- ded in. He was one of its trustees at the time of his death. In- every enterprise of his rapid- ry-growing town he was prominent. Its va- rious positions of honor and trust were held fey him often for a period of years. A man of great energy in business, of ster- flng integrity, deep sympathy, a keen sense of humor, a home-man, a great lover of children, ever childlike ih his faith, he passed away peacefully to his Saviour, happy iu his strong hope, and surrounded by all his loved ones.

The greater portion of his life was spent at South Easton, Penn'a, where he resided frdm about 1830 to 1857, at which time he removed to Easton, where he risided until his death in 1871. He was an elder in the Brainerd Pres- byterian church of Easton from its or^oiizBM tion in 1854, and paid one-half of the original cost of the church building, and contributed largely to its support.

"The remains of the venerable Col. Thomas McKeen were this day committed to the silent tomb. The funeral services were conducted at the house, by the Rev. Drs. Gray and Steel, and consisted of the reading of the 103 Psalm by Br. Gray and a prayer by Dr. Steel. The fiJneral cortege left his late residence in Spring Garden street at 11 J o'clock, and proceeded to the Easton Cemetery, where his remains were deposited in the handsome family vault which he sometime since caused to be erected^ On placing the remains in the tomb a prayer was made by Dr. Gray, and the tomb was closed and the long procession of carriages returned to Easton. "The funeral sermon will be preached at the First Presbyterian Church on next Sabbath morning by Rev. Dr. Gray.

John and Jane Hays, the first of the fam-* * ily in America, emigrated from West Donegaly^ in Ireland, and settled in Northampton eoun-'-^ ty. Pa., in what has since been called th^' Irish Settlement, in A. D. 1732, where he en- gaged in tanning, storekeeping, &c. He died November 16th, 1789, and is buried in the old" burying-ground connected with the Presbyt^ rian church near "Weaversville. His widotv'' died at Derry, in Northumberland county, Pa., in 1806, at the age of ninety-four, and is buried at that place. They had five sons; 388 Addenda. John, William, Robert, James, and Francis; and four daughters ; Jane, Isabella, Mary, and Elizabeth. All the sons, except William, (who died young and is buried by the side of his father) served in the Revolution arj^ war. Two of them are said to have been with the party left to keep up the camp iires near Trenton when Washington surprised the British at Princeton. John, the eldest son, was the only one who remained in the "Settlement." fie raised and commanded a company from there, and marched with it to Philadelphia in December, 1776, from which circumstance he derived his title of Captain.

He settled near Kridersville, engaging in the practice of medicine, and died there, leaving two sons and three daughters. The oldest daughter marri<3d Hugh Horner of the "Settlement." John went west with the oth- er two daughters, and Br. ^Charles H., the other son, located at Cherry ville. Captain John Hays was again married, Aug; - 13th, 1771, to Jane Walker, who died Decem^ ; ber 15th, 1825. They had six sons and foua?! daughters:- to wit, Ann, William, I&abella^ Kobert, Thomas, Richard, Samuel, Mary, Jo- sepli, and Rebecca.

About this time the; Moravians wished to exchange a large body of land which they owned in what is now Craw- ford county, for the property on which he resided, and he wishing a property large enough to locate his large family near each other, undertook, in company with. his sou William, the journey on horseback to exarn- ine the pro[)erty. While engaged in that, he became overheated and drinking too much spring water, he sickened and died at Mead- ville. Pa., Nov. 3rd, 1796, at sixty-six years of age. From this date, the date of th^;:^^^Yfirl; of the family in America is fixed at 1782, since he was two years old at that time. John, the oldest son of Captain John by his first wife, Barbara King (grandfather of the writer on his father's side), married Jane, the youngest daughter of James Horner of the Settlement, May 21st, 179^. He soon after- wards purchased a tract of land from his father, lying on the west side of Lycomiijg creek, sit- uated in the then "new purclfuse" from the Indians. This laud was then under wliat was' called an improvement lease. lilxpecting to huy out the tenant, they nn>ved by wagon from the Settlement, and arrived on the land in September, 1795. Failing to purchase the lease, they drove their wagon to the north-east corner of the tract — ^then in woods and heavy timbered — and began to make a home for themselves. They slept in their wagon till they cleared some land and built a cabin, when they changed their quarters for it, and clear- ing more land, sowed some wheat and the following harvest reaped twenty-five bushels. In this cabin, on January 15th, 1797, John K. Hays (my father) was born, and as articles of luxury or even of comfort were not plenty — it being diflicult to obtain them — the only cradle he ever ht^fd 'was k' |^iigtir-trough ' that . had done service in catching sap from some of t^ maple trees in the vicinity.

But. changing his mind, brought him back from school at Ecading, Pa., and kept him on the farm. On March Ist, 1827, he. married Jane, the oldest daughter of Thomas Hajs, his fatli- m% Jfl^ch4a. ei^s half brother. She died Nov. 6th, 1830, leaving two children, Jane Elizabeth, (married to Hugh R.

Haj'S lived after his last wife's death for over tw*^. years, y,ttended and Wiuted joxx in (his declining years by his youngest daughter, JTIehrietta E., until Maroh' 11th, 1878, Avhen the Master called him at the^ ripe old age' of eighty-one years." He died in^ peace, retaining the exei'cise of >hi8. faculties fa the last, and in the fulThope of a blessed itct-i nun-tality beyond the grave. His oldest son,' Johni AV., was married May .ITthv 1855, to Ra*' chel, daughter of Charles Allen of Armstrong" township, Lycoming county, and resides in Williamsport. They have had four children, but p,i;ily two are living, and they bear the. old familv names of, John K., and Jane. / ,.r -. It niay be seen from the foregoing that the oldest son in each generation was named /ohn, making six Johns in ' direct lineal de- scent in the family. The family has become' considerably scattered and is very large, hav- ing a great number of collateral kindred.

Co wen, of Frankfort Springy, Beaver Co., Fa., we learn further of the Moore townsliip Kerr or Carr family. Mrs. Cov/en was the only daughter of 7 Jane Carr. See Ap. p. 362. and Add. 383. It seems the first of this family in America were David and Elizabeth. This first David, . »r Elizabeth, had at least two sisters. One the grand-children called Aunt Peggy Armstrong. 8]ie may have been the wife of Thomas Arm- strong. See Gen. p. 12. The other they called Aunt Jennie Horner. It seems she was| the wife of Janjcs ilt>rner and was killed h^' the Indians. See Gen. p. 66. T^he children of the first David and Eliza- beth Carr were William, Jennie, Margaret, Mary, and Elizabeth. William is the one spoken of in Ap. p. 362, and Add. p. 383. Mrs. Cowen says his daughters' names were 6 Elizabeth (instead of Mary), and Jane, (1 r r mother.) Of this William Carr's sisters, Mrs. 0;(jv\..,,^ says : — Jennie married Orr; Margaret married — ^ l^'icCarty ; Mary mnrriod • '^•■"•■- ..
