PREFACE.

We have thought, while reading works of a genealogical
nature, that some one should have collected extracts from
the introductories of the authors, and thus have acquired
fame as a maker of a Book of Prefaces. Such a work would
tell of the incentives which prompted the writers to spend
years in tracing the several lines of their kin, as well as of
the various forms of regret and astonishment at the apathy
and neglect of a large number of the younger generations,
who had failed to respond to repeated inquiries, or to evince
even an ordinary interest in family relationships. It would
tell that each and every family had been representative of
much, if not everything, that was good and noble in man ;
and also of authors who would declare, without any shadow
of embarrassment, that the pursuit of their work and the
publication of their books had been at a great financial loss
to them ; and the whole, making a collection of expressions
and sentiments which would amuse and entertain the average
genealogical enthusiast, as well as offer some consolation and
help to the aspirant for the honor of being the family
historian. We do not suppose the authors of this genealogy have
met with experiences greatly differing from those of all com
pilers of family records. The following bit of history will
serve as our excuse for being associated with this work.
Seven of the twelve sons of James and Nicholas Noyes
remained in Old Newbury, as tillers of the soil, or as workers
at their mechanical trades ; and it was not until the trouble-

10 PREFACE.
some days of Indian warfare had ceased, that many farmers
ventured to migrate to the newly formed settlements at the
northward. The first exodus from the crowded farms of
Newbury, was to the fertile lands sixteen miles distant, amid
the hills and valleys in the " Haverhill District in New
Hampshire," which comprised the present towns of Plaistow,
Atkinson and Hampstead, where before 1760, eighteen
Noyeses with their families had established homes, making
the locality almost a second Newbury in point of number
and influence of the inhabitants by the name of Noyes.
Some of the families after a short stay, having a desire to
own more land, and with a proclivity towards pioneering,
which has been characteristic of some branches of the family,
migrated to what was then almost a wilderness, — Boscawen,
Hollis, Landaff, Lisbon, and other uncleared lands in north.
ern New Hampshire and Vermont; but after one hundred
years had passed, and three generations of Noyeses had
lived and died, within a radius of three miles, amidst a
population of about five hundred, more than one-fifth bore
the name of Noyes, and two-thirds of the remainder were
related to them by marriage. For several years the name of
Noyes appeared on the voters' list more numerous than any
other, and town offices were filled from the ranks, church
choirs were composed almost entirely of them, and the
school rooms held many Noyes children presided over by
Noyes teachers.
It was in the midst of these scenes, with parents and
great-grandparents, each named of Noyes, as a descendant
from both James and Nicholas Noyes, that the associate
author of this genealogy was born and has lived her life.
From early girlhood many pleasant hours have been spent
among aged relatives, who, from their strong and retentive
memories, related incidents in connection with the
family. Relationship was to them a theme of absorbing
interest, and their narrations developed in her a love of

PREFACE. 11
research along family lines and a pardonable pride in their
history. So that, when Colonel Noyes, early in his task asked for
data to enable him to perfect his records, it was a pleasant
work for her to assist as she could. From collecting all
available records in the home locality, she extended her
work, by trying to assist in tracing the branches of the
family that located elsewhere, by examining the vital statis
tics of forty or more towns and cities, probate and registry
of deed records in New Hampshire and eastern Massachu
setts, and by personal interview and correspondence, wher
ever a possible addition to the work could be obtained.
She is indebted to many public officials for their assistance,
to various authors from whose town histories and family
genealogies much of value has been learned ; to numerous
friends and correspondents, for their willingness to help ; to
her mother, and especially to her honored father, who,
although more than eighty-five years of age, has ever taken
an interest in the work, and with generous material aid has
enabled her to devote the time and expense incident to her
research. As a co-worker in her limited way, since 1892, with
Colonel Noyes, stationed at far away army posts, while the field
lias been abundantly large, it is just to say, that the part that
she has taken towards the completion of these volumes, has
indeed been small compared with the results attained by him
through his thousands of letters and circulars of inquiry, to
aU parts of the world, combined with his natural ability as
a genealogist. h. e. n.

CHAPTER I.

INTRODUCTORY.
In the natural order of things, the first volume of this
work should have been devoted to the descendants of Rev.
James Noyes, he having been the elder of the two brothers ;
but soon after we began collecting the records, we found four
others working on his branch, but none working on the other
branch (Nicholas') : so we gave first attention to collecting
and compiling the records of the descendants of Nicholas,
until that branch was about complete.
The fact that four others were collecting records of Rev.
James' branch has no doubt prevented us from securing as
full records of that branch as we have of his brother's ; as
some who had answered letters or circulars from them, would
take no notice of ours received later. In justice to the others
working on this line, it is but fair to state that with but a
single exception, they have afforded us all assistance at their
command. As a result of the other efforts, the genealogies
of two small branches have been published ; one by the late
Horatio N. Noyes of Cleveland, Ohio (before ours was begun)
giving the direct ancestors and descendants of Joseph Clark
Noyes of Morris ville, Vt., much of which we copy, by per
mission. The other by Judge R. A. Wheeler of Stonington,
Conn., gives some of the Connecticut branches, portions of
which are also copied, by permission. Where our dates
differ from theirs, we give them as received from those
named, or their relatives. 12

INTRODTJCTOKY. 13
Mr. La Verne W. Noyes of Chicago has published the
genealogy of his branch, some of which is copied by his per
mission ; his work being quite recent, has rather helped than
impeded ours.
Since the introductory chapter of Vol. 1 was written, the
following copy of the notes of the eminent jurist, William
Cui'tis Noyes, has been received, and is now published, as the
result of the matured judgment of one of the most able men
of our name ; and one who would not make public such data
without thorough research and mature deliberation. By this
it will be seen that he was the first of whom we have any
record, who investigated the early history of the family, and
origin of the name.
(Copy of a memorandum furnished by Wm. Curtis Noyes, No, SO Wall
St,, New Tork, Dec. SO, 1847.)
" The first account I have hitherto been able to find of the
family of Noyes, is contained in Domesday book, being the
compilation made by William the Conqueror, about 1086.
By this it appears that William Des Noyers was one of the
military commanders of the Conqueror, and settled (with two
others of the same name, although it is spelled Noers and Noies)
in the County of Norfolk, where they had large possessions.
Vide Domesday book, p. 196 to 199 Vol. 1.
" « " p. 116 to 135 " "
" " « p. 117 etc.
In Thierry's " History of the Norman Conquest " page 113
he is stated to have been one of the Barons of the Conqueror.
I find that in the Norman language, the word Noyes means
" Crowned " — Vide Kilham's Nor. Die. in voc.
The family continued in Norfolk and in Suffolk many
years, their descendants remaining to this day. Vide Bloom-
field's His. of Norfolk.
One of the family suffered under the reign of Mary, being
arrested and thrown into prison for denying the doctrine of

14 INTRODUCTORy.
the " real presence " — Vide " Fox's Book of Martyrs " John
Noyes, page 811, Vol. 2.
The family emigrated to this country from England in
1634 and settled in Newbury, Mass. There were two of the
same name, viz., James, the first minister of that town, and
his brother Nicholas. James was educated a;t Oxford, Vide
Young's Chronicles of the Pilgrims, 2d Ed. 402, Note 1.
Nicholas, a son of the preceding, wrote a poetical " Preface
Dedicatory " to Mather's Magnalia. He was very active in
the witchcraft trials in 1692. A full list of their descendants
is to be found in Farmer's " Genealogical Register " of the
early settlers of New England.
A son of the preceding James was settled in Stonington,
Conn., and was one of the founders and a Trustee of Yale
College. His son was a tutor in the college, and was after
wards pastor of the* first church in New Haven, as the suc
cessor of Rev. Mr. Pierpont in 1716. A full account of him
and his ministry will be found in " Bacon's Historical Dis
courses " pp. 198-242.
From the account of the family in Farmer, which extends
through several generations, any member of it will probably
be able to ascertain the particular branch to which he belongs.
(Sgd.) William Curtis Noyes.

{Note by Col, Noyes,) The reference to Thierry's History probably
means the French edition. Judge Noyes' father had evidently kept in
touch with his relatives in their early Connecticut home, where their
ancestors had always lived (Stonington and Groton, Conn.) and where
the town records were well kept; and so had no difficulty in connecting
his line with its ancestor (James) named in Farmer's Register. But two
generations later, not half of those who returned our circulars, could
connect their branch with its ancestor.

ARRANGEMENT. Serial Numbers.
The name of every descendant of Rev. James Noyes, who
married, has a number before it for reference, called its serial
number. Every male who married and had a family, will
have two other numbers, where he is shown as the head of his
family (unless it follows his father's, when he will have
only his serial number) : the number following the name, and
on the same line is his father's serial number : the third num
ber, immediately after, and just above the name, denotes the
number of the generation, counting from James, as the first
generation. In the family records, this number is given but
once (to the first child) as all children of the same famity,
are of the same generation. Every son who married and had
a family is recorded twice : once as a child of his father's
family, and again as the head of his own family, and this is
indicated by a star before the serial number of his name, in
his father's family ; look back for the serial number following
the name, and this wiU show the father's family : the num
ber following his name wiU lead to the grandfather's family :
and so on, back to the son of James who is the ancestor in
the second generation.
The serial numbers of the married daughters will be found
in the records of their fathers' families only. When the serial
number of a son is not found where it should naturally be
(in the natural sequence of his generation), it will be found
following the record of his father's family, if he had a family :
if there were no children, he is shown only in his father's
family. 15

16 ARRANGEMENT.
Some of the serial numbers were accidentally omitted, in
passing from one family or generation to another ; others were
purposely omitted, viz.: — all numbers ending with 1, after
900 (901, 911, 921, etc.), in order to provide for additions,
to correct errors, etc., etc. Some of these numbers have al
ready been used. In a few cases some of the children have
been given their father's serial number, with the letters, a,
b. c, etc., added to identify them ; the record of their mar
riage having been overlooked when the families were num
bered. This volume contains all that is available concerning the
known descendants of Rev. James Noyes ; and is divided into
eleven chapters, one introductory, and one for him and each
of his six sons ; one for Peter Noyes of Sudbury, and those
whose ancestry has not been determined ; one for records of
military service, etc., and one miscellaneous. Following the
last chapter will be a number of leaves, conveniently ruled,
for making additional records of births, marriages, deaths,
etc. By using these, each family can continue its genealogy
for several generations to come ; and the female lines can
continue their genealogies, from where they branch from the
Noyes line.
The marriage index will have the names of the allied fam
ilies arranged alphabetically by the surnames : except that
Noyes-Noyes marriages are so arranged by the given names
of the wives. Before each name is the serial number of the
Noyes to whom the person named was married, followed by
the number of the page where the record will be found, if
the Noyes ancestry is known : if not known, only the page
number is given. Quite a number of marriage records have
been copied from other genealogies, town records, newspapers,
etc., without the Noyes ancestry having been determined.
Example — John Noyes married Tabitha Stone, as recorded
in Chapter III : his serial number is 46. The marriage index
will show — 46-Stone, Tabitha  (page number.) Look

ARRANGEMENT. 17
for number 46 on the page given (Chapter III), where John
is shown at the head of his family. Following the marriage
index will be the index of all Noyeses named in this volume,
arranged alphabetically by their given names. Following this
will be the index of all towns, cities, counties, etc., with page
references. As a rule all titles have been omitted in the records of the
children of a family ; and what is known of any service in the
army, navy, marines or merchant marine service, is stated
under the name of the head of the family, if it is his service
that is recorded ; but if it is the service of a son who is not
the head of a family, then the service record will follow that
of the family. All service records from official sources will
be recorded in Chapter X. Church and other local titles are
generally omitted, except that for clergj^men — Rev.
As a complete record of service of all Noyeses in Colonial,
Indian, Revolutionary, Mexican, Civil and Spanish wars was
considered desirable, application was made to the chief of the
Record and Pension office, of the War Department, for copies
of all such records. In reply it was stated that it was for
bidden to furnish copies of such records for publication. But
personal requests for records of not more than two ancestors
of applicants, will be furnished under rules adopted for such
cases. (See Chapter X.)
In some cases the birth dates seem to indicate that the laws
of nature have failed : in all such cases it is safe to assume
that dates, etc., have been incorrectly copied, or that the dif
ference between the old style of chronology and the new, is
not understood.
There are quite a number of colored families named Noyes
in New England; they are probably descendants of slaves
owned by Noyeses in Colonial times. The records of Wobum
show this marriage under date of Oct. 3, 1760 : "John Noyes,
a mulatto servant to Lt. James Hay of Stoneham and Phillis
 of Woburn were married by Rev. John Earl, Sept. 3,
1760."

18 arrangement.
Read This Carefully.
To assist in tracing ancestry, and to show graphically the
lines of descent, a genealogical chart of the Noyes descen
dants of Rev. James Noyes, in the second and third genera
tions, is given in Chapter II ; and there will be other charts
preceding the third or fourth generations, continuing this
plan, including the eighth generation. With these and the
directions already given, there should be no difficulty in trac
ing the ancestral lines. The absence of the names of male
descendants, in many cases, in these charts, does not imply
that there were none : it simply indicates that none have been
found. In some cases it is certain that there were male de
scendants, but no record of them was available.
On account of the frequent repetition of many of the given
names, the Noyes index wiU not be of much benefit in find
ing any Noyes record, except for an unusual given name.
The better method in all cases will be to consult the mar
riage index. If your name is Noyes look for your mother's
maiden name. The serial number of the Noyes whom she mar
ried will precede it, followed by the page. In a similar man
ner, any other family may be found, if the maiden name of
the mother is known.
If your name is not Noyes, you can find the Noyes family
to which your mother belongs, by looking for your father's
name in the marriage index : before it will be your mother's
serial number, followed by the page.
Abbreviations : — Adm., administrator b., born ; bef., be
fore ; d., died ; d. y., died young ; m., married ; dan., daugh
ter ; grad., graduated ; inv., inventory ; rem., removed ; res.,
resided, or resides ; num., unmarried. When no state is given
after the name of the place, Massachusetts is meant. An
interrogation point (?) implies doubt as to the date or other
record preceding it.

CHAPTER n.

REV. JAMES NOYES.
Rev. James Noyes came to this country as narrated in the
first chapter of Volume I, and after a short stay in Mystic
(where Medford now is), moved with some friends to New
bury, going by the water route via. the passage between
Plum Island and the main land, to Parker river, where they
landed, not far from its mouth.
When the pastor of the Old North Church, Boston (the
Rev. Cotton Mather), was preparing his ecclesiastical history
of New England (which he called " Magnalia Chris ti Amer
icana "), he wrote to Rev. Nicholas Noyes, then minister in
Salem, asking him for, some account concerning a person so
nearly related to him (Rev. James Noyes, his uncle) ; and
" was favored with the following relation ; and although he
were pleased in his letters to tell me ' that he had sent me
only a rude, immethodical jumble of things, intending that
I should serve my occasions out of them for a composition
of my own :' yet I find that I shaU not give my readers a
better satisfaction, anyway, than by transcribing the words of
my friend. The account in his own words, is too elegant,
and expressive to need any alteration."
Rev. Nicholas Noyes' Account op his Unole,
Rev. James Noyes.
Mr. James Noyes was born in 1608, in Choulderton, Wilt
shire, of Godly parents. His father was a Minister of the
19

20 REV. JAMES NOYES.
same town, — a very learned man, — the school-master of Mr.
Robert Parker, and he had much of his education and tutor
age under Mr. Thomas Parker.
He was called by him from Brazen Nose College in Ox
ford, to help him in teaching the Free School at Newbury,
where they taught school together till the time they came to
New England.
He was converted in his youth by the ministry of Dr-
Twiss and Mr. Thomas Parker, and was admired for his
piety, and his virtue, in his younger years. The reason of
his coming to New England was because he could not com
ply with the ceremonies of the Church of England.
He was married in England to Miss Sarah Brown, o£
South Hampton, not long before he came to New England,
which was in 1634.
In the same ship came Mr. Thomas Parker, Mr. James-
Noyes, and a younger brother, Nicholas Noyes, who was then
a single man ; Mr. Parker and Mr. Noyes, and others that
came over with them, fasted and prayed together many
times before they undertook this voyage ; and on the sea
Mr. Parker and Mr. Noyes preached or expounded, one in
the forenoon, and the other in the afternoon, every day
during the voyage, unless some extraordinary thing inter
vened ; and were abundant in prayer.
When they arrived, Mr. Parker was first called to preach
at Ipswich, and Mr. Noyes at Mistick, at which places they
continued nigh a year. He had a motion made unto him to-
be Minister at Watertown ; but Mr. Parker and others of his-
acquaintance, settling at Newbury, and gathering a tenth of
the churches in the colony, and calling Mr. Noyes to be
teacher of it, he preferred that place, being loth to be sepa
rated from Mr. Parker and brethren that had so often fasted
and prayed together, both in England and on the Atlantio
sea. So he became the teacher of that church, and contin
ued, painful and successful in that station something above

REV. JAMES NOYES. 21
twenty years, without any considerable trouble in the church.
Notwithstanding his principles as to Discipline were some
thing differing from many of his brethren, there was such
condescension on both parts, that peace and order was not
interrupted. He was much loved and honored in Newbury, — his memory
is precious there to this day, and his Catechism (which is a
publick and standing testimony of his understanding, and
orthodoxy in the principles of religion), is publicly and
privately used in that town hitherto. He was very learned
in the Tongues, and in the Greek, excelled most. He was
much read in the Fathers and the Schoolmen, and much
esteemed in the Ministry.
His conversation was so unquestionably Godly, that they
who differed from him in the smaller matters as to discipline,
held a most amicable correspondence with him, and had an
high estimate of him. * * * He was as religious at home
as abroad, in his family and in secret, as he was publickly ;
and they that best knew him, most loved and esteemed him.
* * * He had a long and tedious sickness, which he bore
patiently and cheerfully ; and he died joyfully, in the forty-
eighth year of his age, Oct. 22, 1656. He left six sons and
two daughters, all of which lived to be married and have
children, though since one son and one daughter be dead.
He hath now living, fifty-six children, grandchildren, and
great-grandchildren ; and his brother that came over with
him a single man, is, through the mercy of God, yet living,
and hath of children ; grandchildren, and great grand-chil
dren, above an hundred ; which is an instance of divine favor,
in making the families of his servants in the wilderness like
a Flock."
Extract from J. J. Currier's " Ould Newbury,"
Rev. James Noyes' first residence in Newbury was at the
Lower Green ; but on the removal of the meeting house, in

22 REV. JAMES NOYES.
1646 to the Upper Green, he built a house on what is
now known as Parker street, and lived there until his death.
In the " Proprietors' Book " it is recorded that, " In
consideration of Mr. James Noyes his resigning up unto the
towns hands four acres by the river side, Two acres in Rich
ard Kent's Island & four acres in the Neck behind the great
Swamp, they granted him eight acres by the New Pond at
the New Town to continue in his and his heyrs for ever."
There is no date to this record, but it is probable that the
errant did not take effect until 1646, as the commissioners
appointed in 1642 to lay out the new town, ordered " that in
respect of the time for the inhabitants removing from the
place they now inhabit, to that which is laid out and appoint
ed for their new habitations, each inhabitant shall have their
house lotte foure years from the day of the date of the com
mission." The house was built about this time, and the two cousins,
minister and teacher, lived there in pleasant companionship
for nearly ten years, when Mr. Noyes died, Oct. 22, 1656,
aged forty-eight. Mr. Parker, writing of him, says : " Mr.
James Noyes, my worthy colleague in the Ministry of the
Gospel, was a man of singular qualifications, — in piety, ex
celling, and implacable to all heresy and schism, — a most able
warrior against the same. He was of a reaching and ready
apprehension, — a large invention, — a most profound judg
ment, — a rare and tenacious comprehensive memory, — fixed
and unmovable in his grounded conceptions, sure in words
and speech, — without rashness, — gentle and mild in all ex
pressions, without passion or provoking language. And as he
was a noble disputant, so he would never provoke his adver
sary, saving by the short knocks, and heavy weight of argu
ments. He was of so loving, and compassionate, and humble car
riage, that I believe never any were acquainted with him, but
did desire the continuance of his society and acquaintance.

Xoyes House and Parker Street, Newbury.

REV. JAMES NOYES. 23
He was resolute for the truth, and in defence thereof, had no
respect to any persons.
He was a most excellent Counselor in doubts, and could
strike at a hair's breath like the Benjaminites and expedited
the entangled out of the briars.
He was courageous in danger, and still was apt to believe
the best and make fair weather in a storm.
He was much honored and esteemed in the Country, and
his death was much bewailed. I think he may be reckoned
among the greatest worthies of the age."
The wiU of the Rev. James Noyes, dated Oct. 16, 1656,
gave all his real estate and personal property to his wife. In
the inventory, filed in the Probate Office in Salem, mention
is made of a house with seven acres of land adjoining, and an
orchard all valued at 100 pounds. The enclosure described
as an orchard will account for the additional acre named in
the original grant.
His widow and children continued to live in the house,
with the Rev. Thomas Parker as an honored member of the
famil3^ Mr. Parker died unmarried April 24, 1677. After
the death of Mrs. Noyes, ten or twelve years later, the house
passed into the possession of the son Thomas, who married
Sarah Greenleaf ; and for several successive generations, they
and their children and their children's children resided there ;
the last occupant, Mrs. Mary Coffin Noyes, of the sixth gen
eration from the Rev. James Noyes, died Jan. 2, 1895.
The old house is still in a good state of preservation as
will be seen by a glance at the photographic views; the heavy
oak frame shows no signs of decay, and the repairs that have
been made from time to time, have kept the exterior walls in
good order and condition. The chimney was formerly about
four yards square at the base, and extended nearly to the back
wall of the house. About fifteen years ago it became neces
sary to reduce its size ; in doing this the existence of a secret

the first or second story, and the only way it could have been
reached was from the cellar. It was evidently constructed
for the purpose of providing a safe hiding place for gold and
silver and valuable household effects. The winds have
blown and the rains have descended and beaten upon the old
house for two centuries and a half, but it still stands, a memo
rial of the past, closely identified with the early history of
Newbury and the domestic life of two of its eminent divines.
TheoldNoyes house wasoriginally of four rooms, each about
18 by 22 feet. The west part was built on by Silas Noyes
About 1803, or about one hundred years ago. The southeast
room down stairs is now 18 by 21 feet, and contains many
articles of the old time use. The northeast side has the old
table and chair of Rev. James Noyes, brought from England.
Room enough to make the cooking room or kitchen was
taken out of thechimney, and the cooking stove of the family
residing there is now there. The northeast chamber has
been divided into three rooms, and the southeast chamber into
two large rooms. In the attic are many of the relics of the
Noyeses of each generation, a clutter of most everything. The
^jhimney is about six feet square at the top of the second
story. In the hall is the old table of James Noyes, which
they call an " eight legged table," and his old arm chair. The
elm trees shown in the picture were probably planted about
the time that the house was built.
The Boston Herald in 1903 gives the following sketch of
-the beginnings of Newbury, and of the oldest house in the
town : —
" Newbury is named for Newbury, Eng., whence many of its
¦earliest colonists came. Prominent among these, in fact, the
leading founders of the town as well as founders of its first
¦<jhurch, were the Rev. Thomas Parker and the Rev. James Noyes
two cousins, who came out from England together. Mr. Parker
iad studied at Oxford, at Dublin and in Holland, and attracted

some attention as an ecclesiastical writer, when he went to the
English Newbury to teach its free school.
In 1634, with Mr. Noyes and 100 others, he came to New
England and lived for a short time at Ipswich, then called Aga-
wam. This plantation being made too crowded by the addition
of these newcomers. Mr. Parker, with his little band of immi
grants, removed the following year to the banks of a little river
not far off, which they named the Parker, in honor of their
leader, and where they established the town of Newbury.
These original emigrants were about 40 in number, but others
joined them during that first summer of 1635. Earms were al
lotted and a church at once organized, with Mr. Parker as pas
tor and Mr. Noyes as teacher.
OLDEST HOUSE IN TOWN.
The house built by Mr. Noyes on his farm, aud in which he,
his family and Mr. Parker lived, is still standing, is probably the
oldest house in town. There are no records to show when it was
erected, but it was probably between 1640 and 1650. It has
never known any owner but a Noyes, its last tenant being Miss
Mary Coffin Noyes, of the sixth generation of the name.
It is Newbury's proudest show place, full of the objects and
the associations which delight the dreamy and imaginative
tourist. The arrangement of the rooms is after the style of the
times, with the addition of a wing at the back, giving the house
the shape of the letter T. The small front entry with doors open
ing on either side, and the narrow staircase, making two square
turns in an ascent of less than a dozen steps has never been al
tered. The slender baluster is very quaint, and seems very
fragile to us as we remember some we have seen in other houses.
The cellar door opens under the stair. Here we may realize
the great bulk of the chimney, which makes, as is usual, the back
wall of the stairway.
Standing by the stair is an old-fashioned table, very oddly
arranged so as to fold up, if necessary. This, together with an
oak chair, very heavy and clumsy, and some other articles, are
said to have been brought from England by Mr. Noyes.

26 REV. JAMES NOYES.
The north room, on the right of the entrance, has been divided
into three apartments, each as large as the average rooms in a
dwelling of our time. Much of the plastering on the ceilings is
over 200 years old, and is as firm as ever. To enumerate the
articles of antique furniture which this house contains would
require more space than we can devote to the purpose.
The chimney was formerly about four yards square at the bot
tom, and extended nearly to the back wall of the house. About
twenty years ago the bricks began to fall out at the back, owing
to the large amount of sand in the mortar. It was then decided
to make the chimney smaller, and to create a small kitchen be
tween the two large rooms in the main part of the house. The
brick and mortar taken away made 20 wagon loads; and hidden
away in a corner of the chimney, the workmen discovered a secret
closet, the existence of which had never been suspected. It was
probably used to hide valuables in case of Indian raids.
The rough, unfinished garret, extends the whole length of the
house, and is stored with treasures of a bygone age. Here we
find three old guns, nearly six feet long and falling to pieces with
extreme age. There we discover two swords, one an army weap
on of antique pattern and the other a gentleman's rapier, such
as dangled by the side of the gallants of old, ready to spring
forth in a flash to defend an honored name, to resent an insult,
or to strike a blow for church and country.
The later years of Mr. Noyes and Mr. Parker were darkened
by a church controversy which began in 1645 and continued for
nearly 30 years, attracting the attention of people throughout
the colony. It originated in the opposition of the claims of Mr.
Parker, the minister, and Mr. Noyes, the teacher, to exclusive
authority in church government and discipline. At different
times the civil authorities were invoked and interposed with little
avail. The contest ended only with the lives of the principal
contestants. Mr. Noyes and Mr. Parker lived in this old house the rest of
their lives, and died there. The estate then passed to Mr. Noves'
son, Daniel Noyes, grandson of the builder, and son of the second
owner, who went to the Madeira islands about 1703, where he
established himself in business as a merchant and acquired con-

siderable wealth. His wife is supposed to have died there,
leaving no children. In 1728 Daniel Noyes died. He made a
will, and after donating a small sum to the poor, and much more
to the gentlemen named as his executors, left the rest to his
father."

This is a large quarto work of ninety-five pages. The
preface written by another says of the author, " He is alto
gether free from a spirit of fraction, seeking only truth and
satisfaction, and therefore he hath ingeniously laid down his
judgment, which is in some things coincident with the judg
ment of the reverend presbeters of New England.
In some things consenting with our reverend assembly here
in England and in some things distant from them both ; be
ing neither for Aristotle, nor for Plato but for truth ; neither
for Paul nor for Apollo but for Christ."
The following are extracts from the work. " The church
is to be carried, not to carry ; to obey, not to command ; to
be subject, not to govern." If all members, young and old,
children and men, if thousands together must judge and gov
ern upon conscience together with the presbytery, first, it
must needs to interrupt the work ; second, it is work enough,
a double labour', for the elders to instruct the church how to
judge. There is more time spent in informing the church than in
determininff the case. Must elders hold the hands of the
common members (as the masters teacheth scholars to write)
and act only by them ? Third, pride is an amidamical de
cease in a democratical government. Who is sufficient to
hold the reins in authority ? Where there are no standing
magistrates in the Commonwealth, and in the church, as gov
ernors at aU, the offspring is likely to be an Ichabod. Fourth,
confusion and disorder are inevitable, turbulent. The church
ought to be a pattern of punctual order. A democracie in
stalled by Plato nudines popularies. Fifth, as a church
must needs be too long a doing by so many, when it is
easy, so it must needs be done too soon by such as are pre
cipitant, when it is difficult. Some are conscientious and
scrupulous, others unreasonable, ignorant, youthful. This is
a pardocracy as well as democracy. The seat of govern
ment is the seat of wisdom."

TO THE READER.
Gentle Header,
Thou mayest not expect this work should be so perfect and
exact, as if the Author had been living to put it out himself.
The original Copy also was lately lost in a sliip foundered at
Sea : and he wi-ote this Treatise in the last half year of his
life, which was a time of continual weakness and sickness
ending his death. I did often press him long before to set
down his notions in writing; but he was still averse, until the
foresaid half year of his last continuance on earth. Notwith
standing all these discouragements, I thought it not meet to
deprive thee of the use of this his last labour, because I con
ceived it would be very useful for the present time.

The Author Mr. James Noyes (my worthy collegue in the
ministry of the Gospel here) was a man of Singular qualifi
cations, in piety excelling, an implacable enemy to all herisie
and schism, and a most able warrior against the same . . .
He was couragious in danger and still was apt to believe the
best, and made faire weather in a storm. He was much
honoured and esteemed in the Countrey, and his death was
much bewailed. I think he may be reckoned among the
greatest worthies of this age. Upon the rising of our late
usurpers, and the beheading of our most gracious and most
excellent King Charles the first, of blessed memory, by a vil-
lanous stroke and under a wicked pretence of justice & upon
the defeating of our renowned King Charles the Second (whom
God preserve) he fell into such a depth of sadness and sor
row of heart that it hastened his death as was believed. So
he died in the 48th year of his age Octob. 22, 1656. He left
behind him this posthume, imperfect and incompleat, which
if he had lived he would have perfected with the addition of

Newbury, in New England, August 6, 1660.
In 1641 the General Court desired that " the elders would
make a Catechism for the instruction of youth in the grounds
of religion. In compliance with this desire Mr. James Noyes
of Newbury composed a short catechism for the use of the
children there." The following is a copy, published by
Bartholomew Green of Boston, edition of 1714, and was
printed in Coffin's History of Newbury, 1845. As it was
undoubtedly composed more than two hundred and fifty
years ago by our ancestor. Rev. James Noyes, we have
thought it worthy of preservation, as a specimen of the
" olden time, " and of the principles then inculcated on the
rising generation. "A Short Catechism.

and Nicholas, should have had six sons ; and although all
married except one of the sons of Nicholas (Rev. Nicholas),
his Noyes descendants (and probably in the female line also)

42 REV. jambs NOYES.
are far more numerous than those of his brother James.
This was also apparent as early as the beginning of the
fourth generation, as Rev. Nicholas says in his letter to Rev.
Cotton Mather that Nicholas then had over a hundred de
scendants, and James only fifty-six.
Considering the subject of intermarriage among relatives,
which is supposed to diminish the birth rate, it is noticeable
that there have been twice as many in Nicholas' branch as in
that of James, although the percentage of the total number
may be about equal. If it were not, the total number in
both branches is so small, compared with the total of all the
marriages in both branches, that no theory on the subject can
be confirmed or refuted.
Comparing the families in the two branches, it is readily
seen that Nicholas' branch has the majority of the large
families ; and noticeably so among those in Maine. If the
whole family could be represented in the familiar form of a
" family tree," a grand trunk would be the base forking
just above the ground, in two unequal trees, one at least
twice as large as the other ; the undivided tree representing
WiUiam (the father), the larger fork for Nicholas, and the
smaller one for James. On the Nicholas fork there would
be five branches for the second generation ; these would put
out eighteen for the third, and these would sub-divide into
about fifty for the fourth, and a hundred and twenty-five
branches for the fifth generation. In a similar manner the
other fork has divided and sub-divided, but not quite so
extensively. Children, born in Newbury : —

witchcraft, in 1692, that " her worth was so well known,
her husband aud all the people were convinced that the
accuser had perjured herself, and reasoned if so in her case,
what not in other cases ! From that time they looked at
things from a new side, and the spell was broken." She
died 20 May, 1695.

CHAPTER III.

DESCENDANTS OF JOSEPH 2 NOYES OF SUDBURY.

First Son of Rev. James.
2-Jo8eph^ son of James and Sarah (Brown), was born in
Newbury, 15 Oct., 1637. As his birth was not on the town
records, and as he settled in Sudbury (where another Joseph
Noyes lived at about the same time), it was thought that he
was the latter Joseph, son of Peter, as shown in Chapter
IX. But the record of Peter Noyes' descendants shows that
his son Joseph died before April 2, 1661, when his will was
probated. (He died in Barbados ; see Hist. Gene. Register,
VoL 47, page 72.) The earliest mention of 2-Joseph in the
Sudbury records is 16 Feb., 1662, when he was chosen one
of the selectmen, which office he held over twenty-eight
years. He was appointed constable, 1667 and 1668 ; justice
of the peace in 1679, and many other offices. He was a
man of considerable property, owning a number of slaves.
His views on the temperance question can be seen in the
following communication : —
" To ihe JSEddletix County Court : — In answer to warrant
received, I have used what means I could to get the select
men together, but by reason of one trobel and another, it
has been neglected. It is the minds of most of us that
ther should be none to retale drink amongst us by the reason
of the growing of the sin of drunkness amongst us.
45

46 descendants of
Our fathers came into this wildernefs to enjoy the gospel
and its ordinances in its purity, and the conversion of the
heathen, but insted of converting them, amongst other sins
we have tought them to be drunkards, which we may have
cause to fear God has permitted them to be such a scourge
as at this present. There be thos that desir lecenses, but
such as cannot command themselves ar not fit for such an
imploie or trust. Verbum sapienti satis est quod sufflzit.
All things considered, it is not mine one mind only, but of
some others, that Col. Samuel Horr is best accommodated
and the most sutable man that presents himself willing to
undertake to entertain travellers, wich, as I understand, is
the only, or at least the chief end of a house of entertain
ment, and not Tonn drunkards. Plain dealing I think is
best. I pray pardon my boldness. Your servant, Joseph
Noyes, selectman. Sudbury, Febr. the 29, 1692."
He married Mary Darvell (or Davrell), 1662, who died
24 Sept., 1667. He married, second, Mrs. Mary (Dunster)
Willard, 1680. He died 16 Nov., 1717. His birth date was
found on the Newbury church records.

CHAPTER IV.

DESCENDANTS OF REV. JAMES 2 NOYES.
Second Son op Rev, James^,

Memoir of Eev. James Noyes of Ston^ington, Conn.
(^From Bacon's Historical Discourses.')
He was the son of Rev. James Noyes, the first Teacher of
the church in Newbury, Mass., who came from England. He
was, in his day, one of the leading ministers of the colony,
greatly respected for his wisdom and his piety.
He was a distinguished preacher, carrying uncommon fervor
and Heavenly zeal into all of his public performances. His or
dinary conversation breathed a spirit of that world to which
he was endeavoring to guide his fellowmen. In ecclesiastical
controversies he was eminently useful. He was a counsellor
in civil affairs at some critical periods.
He was selected to be one of the first trustees and founders
of the college (Yale) ; for though he was then an old man,
and in a remote corner of the colony, his influence was
deemed essential to the success of the undertaking,
(^From Wlieeler's History of Stonington, Conn.)
Rev, James Noyes came to Stonington to preach on an in
vitation of the town in 1664. The meeting house in which
he preached was a short distance southwesterly of the pres
ent residence of Mr. Henry M, Palmer, west of Montauk

REV. JAMES NOYES OP STONINGTON, CT. 69
avenue. Traditionally, we learn that he resided in the family
of Thomas Stanton, Sr,, until he was ordained, Sept. 11,
1674, and the next day he was married to Miss Dorothy,
daughter of Thomas and Ann (Lord) Stanton. He made his
permanent place of abode upon a large tract of land in Ston
ington, which he purchased of Samuel Willis of Hartford,
Conn., where he erected him a dwelling house on the site of
the present first house south of Anguilla, on the highway
from there to Wequetequock, which became the first parson
age of the First Congregational Church of Stonington, where
he lived the remainder of his life, dying Dec. 30, 1719, For
the first ten years of his ministry he preached as a licentiate,
and the last forty-five years as an ordained clergyman. He
was Chaplain with Capt, George Denison's expedition that
captured Canonchet, chief sachem of the Narragansett In
dians, April, 1676.
(From La Verne W. Noyes' " Noyes and allied families. ^^^
" In April, 1697, upon the motion of the Honorable Lieut.
Governour Stoughton, and information that the enemy, In
dians, intended to scatter into small companies, to do mischief
upon His Majestie's subjects, the Governour and Councill
also being moved by the worshipful Captain Samuel Mason
and the Reverent Mr. James Noise, ordered a letter sent to
Capt Samuel Mason and Mr, James Noise desiring them to pro
mote of raising twentie or thirtie men, English and Indians,
furnished with arms, ammunition and provision, to range the
woods between Nashua (now in N. H,) and Deerfield, Mass.,
and near Mamerrimack River, and between Hadley and Marl-
burrough as they shall judge best. And the Governour and
Councill being informed that the enemy, Indians, intended to
scatter and to sett upon the small towns upon the river that
were secure. Warrants were sent to the several constables
of the towns in danger to see that due watch and ward be
kept." (Conn. Col. Record, Vol. 4, p, 196,) Appointed by
Assembly one of a committee to settle differences regarding

division of land in Quinnebaug. In 1708 he was granted
200 acres of land.
The remains of Rev. James ^ Noyes are buried in the an
cient burying-place ground, upon a sloping hill on the east
side of Wequetequock Cove, midway between Stonington,
Conn., and Westerly, R. I. A light-brown stone covers the
remainsj and upon it is cut the Coat of Arms of the family,
as shown in the illustration.
The epitaph was written by Reverend Eliphalet Adams,
who was pastor of the First Congregational Church of New
London, Conn,, in 1720.
The original draft of the epitaph is in the Sunday School
Library room of the First Congregational Church of Ston
ington, Conn. Graduated at Harvard 1659. He drew Cedar
Swamp lots for Indian war service.

Deputy to the General Court from 1713 to 1733, ^ In 1728
he was commissioned Captain of the First Company, or Train
Band of Stonington, and appointed Justice of the Peace. In
1725 he was one of a Committee to partition off the parish
of Groton, and set up the worship of God there. Eepre-
sentative of the town of Stonington l7l4-'15-'16-'17-'22-'23

The Colonial records show his appointment for militia ser
vice, as follows : — " This Assembly do establish and confirm
Mr, Thomas Noyes of Stonington, to be Captain of the First
Company or Train Band in the town of Stonington, and order
that he be commissioned accordingly,"
Miss Wheeler, in her " Old Homes in Stonington," refers
to the home of 16-Thomas (as follows), " Capt, Noyes
built this house after his marriage in 1705 to Elizabeth,
daughter of Gov, Peleg Sanford and granddaughter of
Gov, William Coddington of Rhode Island. He and his son
James were Colonial officers. Capt. Noyes was a man of
considerable property, and he it was, who sent to England
and had the Coat of Arms cut upon a stone and placed over
the grave of his father, our first minister. Rev. James Noyes,
who was buried at Wequetequock. This house which he
built, is set back from the road some little distance and im

unpainted, with a hip or quail trap rook, truly in style a man

ring for the knocker, with the small panes of glass over the

room is ceiled from top to floor, the width of some of the
boards are beyond belief unless they are seen. The kitchen
has the old styled dresser for crockery, and the summer beams
show in all the rooms. Ah ! could this house speak, what a
history it would give of Revolutionary heroes, of whom Col.
Peleg Noyes was one, being Captain at Fort Griswold in
1777, What stories of love and war, heartaches and sor
rows borne patiently, and of lives lived out in their fulness
and gone on into the unlimited beyond where all shall be
satisfied. This place has long remained in the Noyes name
from the time of Captain Thomas to the present when it now

was born in Stonington, Conn,, 13 Jan., 1685 ; married, first,
Mary Gallup, 1715 ; second, Mrs, Elizabeth Whiting, l739 ;
died 17 Sept,, 1751, His second wife was a great grand
daughter of Gov. Bradford of Plymouth Colony.
l_From Miss Wheeler''s " Old Homes in Stonington." 1
" Dea. John Noyes, brother of Capt, Thomas, built the
house near Westerly, now known as the Moss house, in 1714.
Dea. John's second wife was a great-granddaughter of Gov,
William Bradford, second governor of Plymouth Colony.
This house is large, with a square roof, and spacious rooms
are on both floors. It has no cellar underneath, being built
upon a ledge, though the cellar stairs go down the front
hall and end upon a flat rock. This farm was included in
the grant of land from the State of Connecticut to Thomas
Stanton, the Interpreter General of New England, and by his
will it was given to his son-in-law, Rev. James Noyes, and
from him to his son, Deacon John, and to his son, Joseph
Noyes, who lived and died there. He sold it to Nathaniel
Palmer, and from him it descended to his son Luke, who
lived here.
There were two race courses, eighty rods long, . on the
farm, where hundreds of people used to assemble to witness
the races often held there. Still later Mr. Jesse Moss owned
and renovated the house, so that it is now in good repair,
and looks as if it would remain habitable a century more.
Some of the land about the house has been sold within the
past few years, so that the farm is reduced in size, but the
new and commodious houses which have sprung up all about

REV. JAMES NOYES OP STONINGTON, CT. 77
here, show that many homes have taken the place where used
to be but one, which at the time this house was built was
without neighbors. Mr. Moss was interested in making the
land about the place beautiful to the eye as well as produc
tive, and the broad and beautiful fields lying before the
door will probably soon find a dividing line between them,
where now the acres are without fence or wall, or even a
stone upon their smooth surface." (See cut.)

(There are so few descendants that no chart is necessary) .
The descendants of 18 — Rev. Joseph Noyes can claim royal
descent through his wife, Abigail Pierpont, who was a de
scendant of Mabel Harlakenden, whose ancestry has been
traced direct to William the Conqueror. The following is
the line of descent of Abigail Pierpont from Mabel Har
lakenden : —
John Haynes, Governor of Connecticut in 1639, and
every alternate year thereafter (which was as often as the
constitution permitted) to the time of his death ; married
Mabel Harlakenden. Their son. Rev. Joseph Haynes, mar
ried Sarah Lord in 1668. Sarah, their daughter, married
Rev. James Pierpont. Abigail, their only child, married
Rev. Joseph Noyes of Stonington, Conn, The following
article concerning him is copied from a pamphlet published
by Gen, Charles W, Darling, entitled " Memorial to My
Honored Kindred."
Rev. Joseph Noyes.
\_From ^^Biographical Sketches," by Prof. F. B. Dexter.']
Joseph Noyes, the father of Mrs, Thomas Darling, was
born in Stonington, Connecticut, July 4th, 1688, and was
graduated from Yale in 1709. He was a son of the Rev,
James Noyes, senior member of the original Board of Trus-

80 DESCENDANTS OP
tees of Yale College, and for over fifty years the minister of
Stonington. In the History of Wallingford, Connecticut, by
Dr. C. H, Davis, it is written that this family of N oyes be
longed to a line of ministers, which, at the time of the
decease of Rev, James Noyes, had existed daring two hun
dred years in uninterrupted succession. The family is of
Norman descent, and originated in England with William de
Noyes, one of the followers of the Duke of Normandy in
his Conquest of England in 1006. The family settled in
Cornwall, England, in the reign of Charles I,
Joseph Noyes studied theology with his father, and was
licensed to preach by the New London Association, May 2d,
1710. In September, 1710, he entered on a tutorship in
college, which office he held for the five following years.
His reputation at this time is indicated by an extract from
President Stiles, given in the sketch of Phineas Fiske. In
November, 1714, the pastor of New Haven — the Rev. James
Piermont — was removed by death, and while the church was
delaying the choice of a successor, Mr. Noyes received a
call from Stonington (given in town meeting, April 14th,
1715), to become colleague-pastor with his father. This call
he declined, and when the society at New Haven met, July
1, 1715, "to nominate a man to carry on .the work of the
ministry on probation," Mr, Noyes received a majority of
votes ; but with the deliberation which was customary at
that period, his ordination did not take place until July 4th,
1716, almost a year after he had entered on his pastoral
labors. He preached his own ordination sermon from Jere
miah i : 7. In the first year of his ministry he was largely
instrumental in promoting the removal of the College to
New Haven, by his exertions in raising subscriptions ; and
when the college was actually settled there, he further aided
it with means, and also by hearing for two years nearly all
the recitations of the Senior Class. His last years were
almost entirely withdrawn from public labors, and he died
at New Haven, June 14th, 1761, in his 73d year.

REV, JAMES NOYES OP STONINGTON, CT, 81
The record on his tombstone, under the present First
Church, is as follows : " Rev'd Joseph Noyes, a Man of
God, eminent for Prudence, catholic in Sentiments, given to
Hospitality, patient in Tribulation, and abundant in Labours ;
having serv'd his Generation by the Will of God, 5 years a
Tutor, and 26 a Fellow, of Y, College, and 45 Pastor of y"
1st Church in N, Haven, died June 14, 1761, jEtat, 73,
Mrs. Abigail Noyes, Relict of the Rev'd Joseph Noyes, died
at Wethersfield, y" 10th of Oct'r, 1768, Ae, 73, and was
Buried in that place. A Gentlewoman of a sweet and deli
cate Temper, and of Female Virtue an Example, she greatly
excelled in y® knowledge of y" Scriptures, and they were y®
Guide of her Youth, and y" Comfort and Support of her
Age; she was a Loving, dutiful Wife, a Kind instructive
Parent, to y^ poor Charitable, to y* Faulty a faithful Re
prover, to the Cause of Truth a Friend, Her life was dili
gent and useful; Her Heaven began on Earth, She saw
through a Glass darkly, but now Face to Face. O Grave
where is thy Victory ! "
" At an adjourned Town meeting held April the 14th, 1715,
It was voted and agreed to call Mr. Joseph Noyes to be helpf ull
to the Rev. Mr, James Noyes in carrying on ye work of ye
Ministry amongst us in this town, and that one of ye two

It was voted that if Mr, Joseph Noyes shall accept of a call
of this town to be minister with his father the Rev, Mr,
James Noyes, " that then ye town will give him, ye sd Mr,
Joseph Noyes for his incuragement ye sum of one hundred

REV. JAMES NOYES OP STONINGTON, OT, 85
supplemented by a hundred years of National existence, it
has become, in these later years, apleasantpursuit of thought
ful persons, to search the records of the past to learn some
thing of the origin and history of their ancestors.
The motive and spirit with which such researches are
prosecuted in this country, is rarely in the expectancy, or
even hope, of elevating some ordinary though respectable
individual or family in the public consideration, by the pos
sible disco verjr that some person bearing the family name
Avas a knight in the army of William the Conqueror, and
who consequently became a lord of vast domains, when the
confiscated estates of the Saxtons were parcelled out ; though
necessitated, like the American Indian, to impress his totem,
instead of writing his name — the original of the later " Coat
of Arms", — or of finding perhaps, their noble ancestor to have
been a rich brewer and representative of a rotten borough,
in an ancient parliament.
The inspiration that prompts societies and individuals to
genealogical research in this countrj'^, springs from a nobler
sentiment, even like unto that which we call patriotism, or
love of birthplace, home or country, family affection, and
reverential regard for the memory of ancestors.
Nevertheless, the reflection is gratifying, that in the long
list brought to view in this record, no one bearing the name
has been found wanting in moral rectitude ; while several in
the line, embracing a period of nearly three hundred years,
have been eminent as clergymen and physicians, graduates of
universities, deacons in churches, oilicers in civil and military
life ; and all manifestly excellent men and women, the heads
of prolific families, and good citizens.
The genealogical compilation herein relates mainly to the
direct ancestors and descendants of the late Joseph Clark
Noyes, of Morristown, Vt,, who was the son of Oliver of
Hyde Park, Vt., the son of John of Stonington, Vt., the son
of Deacon John of Stonington, the ison of Rev. James of

88 DESCENDANTS OP
Stonington, the son of Rev. James of Newbury, Mass,, the
immigrant of 1634, who was the son of Rev. William Noyes,
Rector of the Parish of Choulderton, county of Wiltshire,
Eno^land, from 1602 to 1621, and whose wife was sister of
Rev. Robert Parker, a Puritan and Nonconformist, driven
to Holland, whose nephew, Rev, Thomas Parker, came to
America in the same ship with Rev. James Noyes and settled
in Newbury.
The compiler of this record, conscious that he not the right
person in the right place in pursuing genealogical investiga
tion, requiring peculiar qualifications which he assumes not
to possess, and whose time is occupied in business affairs, has
availed himself largely of the friendly aid of the late lamented
Horace G. Cleveland, an accomplished gentleman and an ex
pert genealogist, to whose industry these results are mainly
due. His death a year since precluded the possibility of
following out, as had been intended, the numerous branches
of the ancient and venerable, yet thrifty, genealogical tree.
The " Reminiscences of an Nonagenarian," an exceedingly
readable tale of early New England life, by Sarah Anna E.mery,
published at Newburyport, Mass., 1879, contains a fund of
information relating to our immigrant ancestor. Rev. James
Noyes, and of his numerous descendants in and around the
original town of Newbury from 1634 to date. This book
has been to me not only a lamp of historical light, but a pho-
tograpliic picture as well of domestic and social life in Colo
nial times.
We are likewise under obligations to R, A. Wheeler of
Stonington, Ct., for information regarding Rev, James Noyes
the second, who preached in that town for fifty years,
O ar thanks are extended to Miss Nellie A, Noyes, of New
bury, Mass., for her contribution to family research, and
Miss Mary Noyes especially for a recent photograph of the
ancient family homestead, built in 1646, whicn has always
beeen ov/ned by some member of the family, and which she
now occupies.

REV. JAMES NOTES OF STONINGTON, CT. 87
Our regrets for want of more extended research into the
collateral branches of the Noyes family are materially lessened
by the information received that at least two gentlemen are
delving in the same historical mine, the output of which will
be richer, we doubt not, than the shaft which we have worked.
We trust they may be not a little aided by the historical
notes herein made, and that the result of their labors will
soon be published,

will of Attorney General William Noy, whom he thought was
an ancestor. His friends at Leghorn gave him letters to

persons of influence in London, which made it easy to
accomplish his object, although it cost him sixty pounds. No
application had been made by the heirs for the large fortune
which was held by the Bank of England, Captain Noyes
gave the copy of the will to his nephew, Oliver J, Noyes, in
trust for his sons, but it was accidentally burned. He died
at Staten Island, loved and regretted, aged sixty-seven years.
At one time he owned a fine brig, which was seized and con
fiscated by the Mexican authorities, for having a quantity of
tobacco on board not on his manifest. He made several for

Thomas Notes or Westerly.
Among the graves of Rhode Island Revolutionary heroes, now
being marked by the Rhode Island Society of the Sons of the
American Revolution, is that of Thomas Noyes of Westerly.
Thomas Noyes was a great-grandson of Rev. James Noyes of
Stonington, and also of Gov. Peleg Sanford of Rhode Island.
Several of his ancestors were conspicuous among the founders of
Rhode Island : William Hutchinson and his famous wife Ann

REV, JAMES NOYES OP STONINGTON, CT. 93
Hutchinson, John Sanford, Gov.William Coddington, and Deputy
Gov. James Barker. This is the stock from which he came. His
father, Col. Joseph Noyes of Westerly, was, during the war, a
conspicuous figure in Rhode Island State politics, was a member
of the Assembly in May, 1776, and one of the supporters of the
act then passed, known as Rhode Island's Declaration of Inde
pendence. He also served during the war as Colonel of the First
Regiment King's county militia. His house was the military
headquarters for that county. Such was the home and military
environments of Thomas Noyes.
He was born Oct. 3, 1754, so had but reached the age of 21
when he received, in January, 1776, his commission as ensign,
followed late in August by one from Congress as lieutenant. His
service in the Continental army was as lieutenant in Capt. Ar
nold's Company, Col. Lippitt's Rhode Island regiment, and the
following is a record of the service of the regiment during the
time of his connection with it :
The Ehode Island General Assembly having already two reg
iments in the field, Hitchcock's and Varnum's, ordered, Jan. 18,
1776, another regiment of twelve companies to serve for one year.
The command was first given to Col. Harry Babcock, but soon
after he was relieved and Christopher Lippitt, the lieutenant
colonel, was appointed in his stead.
The regiment was stationed at various points on the island
and the shores of the bay during the spring and summer months,
as protection against invasion, but were subject to the call of
Congress. This call came Sept. 3, 1776, and they were ordered
to join the main army under Washington. Atthat time the offi
cers were :
Colonel — Christopher Lippitt.
Lieut. Colonel — Adam Comstock.
Major — James Tew.
Adjutant — ^William Tyler.
Quartermaster — Benjamin Bourne.
The commissioned officers in Capt. Arnold's company were :
Captain — Thomas Arnold.
Lieutenant — Thomas Noyes.
Ensign — Benjamin Bourne.

94 DESCENDANTS OP
The original commissions of Thomas Noyes are still in pos
session of his grandson, Mr. Franklin B. Noyes of Stonington.
The first is dated Jan. 18, 1776, as ensign, signed by Nich
olas Cooke, governor, etc., of the English colony of Rhode Island
and Providence Plantations in New England in America. The
second is dated Aug. 26, 1776, as lieutenant, signed by John
Hancock, president of Congress of the United Colonies. The
third is dated May 29, 1777, as first lieutenant of artillery, signed
by Nicholas Cooke, governor of Rhode Island and Providence
Plantations. The fourth is dated May 7, 1792, as second major,
signed by A. Eenner, governor of Rhode Island and Providence
Plantations. The fifth is dated May 6, 1793, as first major,
signed by A. Fenner. The sixth is dated May 12, 1794, as lieu
tenant colonel, signed by A. Fenner.
In 1808, when James Madison was elected, Thomas Noyes was
one of the four presidential electors for Rhode Island who cast
their votes for C. Pinckney of South Carolina for president and
Rufus King of New York for vice president.
During and after the war he was active in public and political
life, serving for about twenty years as a representative or deputy
for Westerly, and as State senator. He was also a member of
the celebrated Hartford convention.
He was chosen president of the Washington bank of Westerly
in 1801, soon after its organization. At this time there were but
few banks in Rhode Island, and it was a distinguished honor to
be elected by his associates to this important position of honor
and trust. He evidently filled it with great credit to himself,
as he continued as president for about nineteen years, until his
death, which occurred at Westerly, Sept. 19, 1819. The records
of the bank show the following resolution of the board of di
rectors, under date of Sept. 23, 1819 :
" Voted, That the members of this meeting, in manifestation
of their respect for the character and their sympathy and regret
at the death of Thomas Noyes, Esq., late president of said Wash
ington bank, wear crape on the left arm during the period of
thirty days next ensuing the date hereof."

Death oi- E. Herbert Notes.
" Nerval," Brilliant Journalist, for Many Years Correspondent of
the " National Hotel Reporter," has Written His Last Para
graph.
It is with keen regret and sincere sorrow that the editor of The
National Hotel Eeporter is compelled to announce the death of
E. Herbert Noyes, which occurred at his residence in Milford,
Pennsylvania, on Tuesday morning the 12th inst. Mr.
Noyes had been in poor health for some time and had lived quiet
ly with his family in the little town of Milford for several
years, devoting himself principally to church work and literary
pursuits. Over the non de plume of "Nerval " Mr. Noyes began writing
for the hotel press more than twenty-five years ago, and during
that lengthy period he has been almost continuously a valued con
tributor to the columns of the National Hotel Reporter. Mr.
Noyes was the first editor of the Hotel Mail of New York City,
a publication which passed out of existence several years ago.
This paper was edited by " Nerval " while it was under the pro
prietorship and management of W. Wallace Waugh, of Boston,
who afterward sold it to Thomas E. Lonergan. The latter died
in New York several years ago, but he had disposed of the Hotel
Mail long before his death.
During the earlier years of its existence this weekly hotel
journal became well-known throughout the country on account
of the brilliant character of the writing done by its editor, one
of the prominent features being a weekly letter headed " Saxon
about Town," " Saxon " being a non de plume adopted by Mr.
Noyes. After his retirement from the Hotel Mail and for many
years previous to his removal to Pennsylvania, Mr. Noj^es con
tinued to reside in New York. During this entire period until
a few weeks ago when he became seriously ill, Mr. Noyes con
tinued to write almost exclusively for the National Hotel Ee
porter, and " Nerval's Notes " have always been regarded by
the editor of this journal, and by its readers as well, as one of

REV. JAMES NOTES OP STONINGTON, CT. 181
its most ^'aluable departments and features. Mr. Noyes' brilliant
paragraphs will be sadly missed in these columns, for it is sim
ply the truth to say that it will be impossible for us to fill his
place. " Nerval " had a style that was peculiarly his own, and it
is not too much to say that he has never been surpassed among
the newspaper writers of this comitry as a brilliant paragrapher
and clever correspondent.
Mr. Noyes leaves a widow and one daughter to mourn his
loss. He was possessed of many noble attributes and in all the
relations of life he was the perfect embodiment of a consisient
christian and a manlv man. Peace to his ashes.

[From the Chitrchman, New York, May SSrd, 1903.']
Edward Herbert Noyes.
Edward Herbert Noyes, a prominent resident of Milford, Penn.,
d.ied at his home on the morning of May 12. Mr. Noyes was
born in New York and lived the greater part of his life in that
city. He was a graduate of the University and a member of the
Seventh Eegiment until he took up a residence in Europe. He
was also a member of the New York Genealogical and Biograph
ical Society and a member of Christ church parish up to the
time of his death. During part of his residence abroad he was
private secretary to the Hon. John L. Motley, the historian,
when he was American Minister to the Court of St. James.
Mr. Noyes was a man of great ability, brilliancy and literary
attainments, although not having continued to any great extent
his literary work since becoming an invalid. A few years ago
he came to Milford with his family for the summer — a continued
residence being due to his admiration for the place and the cli
mate. While there he took great interest in the Church of the
Good Shepherd, and was a devoted supporter of it and its inter
ests, being treasurer of the parish for several years.
He had an unusually large circle of friends among the clergy.
He was a direct descendant of the Eev. James Noyes, a famous
Colonial clergyman and author, one of the founders of Yale and
its senior trustee.

Death of Edward H. Notes.
Edward Herbert Noyes (Nerval) , a brilliant paragrapher, died
at his home in Milford, Pa., on May 12. He was born in New
York and lived the greater part of his life there, the exceptions
being travel and residence abroad. He was private secretary to
John Lothrop Motley, the historian, when the latter was the
American minister to England.
His literary and journalistic work covered a space of twenty-
five years. Two piquant little volumes entitled Steamship
Notes, opened his career, which was noted for its versatility
and originality.
He was special correspondent of the New York Home Journal
during Morris Phillips regime. His famous columns in the Sun,
Mail and Express, Commercial Advertiser, Evening Post and
Evening Telegram were read with enjoyment by the public for
twenty years.
Mr. Noyes was the first editor of the Hotel Mail of New York,
a publication which passed out of existence several years ago ;
also of Ocean, a breezy little magazine with too short a career,
and the Gazette. He was correspondent for years of several
London papers, including Tid-Bits and the Caterer, and was one

He won distinction in Chemistry during his college course,
and after graduation went to Leadville, Col., where he was
employed as chemist by the Small Hopes Mining Co., and
the Holden Public Sampling Co. successively. After three
years he removed to Denver, and opened a private assay office
with Henry E. Wood. But he had won an enviable reputa
tion for skiU and accuracy, and when the Philadelphia Smelt
ing and Refining Co. opened their new works at Pueblo, he
was offered and accepted the position at the head of their
laboratory, in the largest lead smelter in the country, a re
sponsible position for so young a man. After six months,
the close labor and responsibility made a change necessary in
the interests of his health, and he went to Mexico, in Febru
ary, 1889, as the agent of a syndicate of American gentle
men engaged in the buying of silver ore. His offices were

business upon the retirement of Gen, Howe, they adding a
publishing department. Their youth, Benjamin being 21 and
William two years 3'ounger, probably was the cause of their
failure to maintain the business successfully. In 1838 Ben
jamin married Sarah Naomi Bates of Sharon, Conn., by whom
he had five children, four of whom are living at this date
Mr, Noyes became early identified with all matters of public
welfare and improvement in his adopted city. The first iron
bridge structure, over Chapel street, was due to his energy ;
the reorganization of the Chamber of Commerce, the crea
tion by legislature of the office of insurance commissioner
were results of his enterprise ; and he was made the first
official in that position, holding before that, the office of bank
commissioner, which widened his experience and reputation.
In 1861-62 his personal efforts roused sufficient interest to
secure from the legislature a charter for a street-car railway
company. In recognition of this service to the public he was
presented with an ebony, gold-headed walking stick, which
bore this inscription : — "To Benjamin Noyes ; the father
of Horse Rail Roads in Connecticut, from a few personal
friends," A silver tray, with ewer and three goblets, was in
later years presented him in appreciation of his efforts to
secure better and more abundant water supply for the city,
obtaining a charter for the " Fair Haven Water Co,," and
building the "Mountain Dew Water Works," being sup
ported in this enterprise by the counsel and financial aid of
Mr. Caleb S. Maltby of New Haven, He was president of
the Lincoln Campaign club, and on one occasion during the
Civil war, went to Washington, D, C, to meet and escort to
Connecticut a train of wounded soldiers, furloughed, that
they might come North for state election. In New Jersey
the train was abandoned by its crew, and there was fear of
mob violence. Mr. Noyes went through the cars explaining
the situation and calling for volunteers to take the train
through to Connecticut, A new corps was organized and

136 DESCENDANTS OF
the train proceeded, the voters arriving in safety. The last
important act of Mr. Noyes' life was of purely personal
nature. He placed upon the north wall of Center church,
New Haven, Conn,, a marble tablet to the memory of his
ancestor, the Rev, Joseph Noyes, (Contributed by Mrs,

continued his studies in the University of Vienna, visited
Wallachia, and was appointed surgeon on the staff of Omar
Pacha, the commander of the Turkish forces. He was
afterward correspondent, in Turkey, Palestine, and Egypt,

of the civil war ; engaged in various army contracts, and
subsequently in planting. He settled in New Orleans after
the war, was appointed commissioner of immigration for the
State of Louisiana, and, in that capacity, revisited Europe,
He was the originator of an enterprise for connecting the
Mississippi river with the Gulf of Mexico by a ship canal
below New Orleans, and of one for draining that city. At
the time of his death he was an active member of the New

married Jane Jessup, 1837; died 27 Aug., 1891. He resided
in Genoa, N. Y., until the fall of 1854, when he moved his
family to Springville, Iowa, in a covered wagon, in which
they had made the journey, and which served as their shel
ter for some weeks, as they could find no home to live in. He
bought an empty log school house, one of the four houses
which the town contained at that time, and sold it the next

140 DESCENDANTS OP
day, with the privilege of living in it until his house should
be completed. With his home thus established, he began
building an 18 x 24 story and a half log house on his farm.
This was completed in January, 1855, he having got out all
the logs with little or no help, loading them on to the
wagon, three at a time, assisted only by the horses. The
house was the best of its kind and generous in appearance ;
it sheltered the family well for nearly twenty-two years,
when it gave place to the present residence, Mr. Noyes
lived on his farm nearly thirty-seven years, during which
time the face of the countrjr changed from a wild, houseless,
treeless prairie, to one of the richest and best farming sec
tions in this or any other State, and became covered with
artificial groves not equalled anywhere in number, beauty, or
size. In this great work of tree planting he was the first
and most active, and his influence contributed very largely
to what has been done by others.
At the time of his death there was an elm and a maple
among the eight hundred forest trees standing on his farm,
which he planted, that were over thirty-three inches in diam
eter, thus showing that in middle life one may plant the for
est tree and see it attain great size, * * * *
During the war of the rebellion Mr. Noyes was a staunch
Union man, and when the southern sympathizers got too
noisy in his neighborhood, he and a neighbor went to Marion
and enrolled themselves in the Union League, which organi
zation, as is well known, had a very quieting effect, Mr.
Noyes' courage, energy and ability were never questioned.
During his most active years he wrote frequently for the
agricultural papers, and his articles were widely copied. His
farm was noted, far and near, as a model of good husbandry,
and on this account he was at one time, without his knowl
edge, strongly urged for the position of superintendent of
the Iowa Agricultural College farm, but he would not accept
the position. Though always a strong and active Abolition-

REV. JAMES NOYES OP STONINGTON, CT, 141
ist, Republican, and Prohibitionist, he neither sought nor
held any political office. To the good judgment, serene life
and perfect helpfulness of his wife he owed much of the
success of his long life. She survived him nearly four and
one-half years, and died on Tuesday morning, April 7, 1896,
at the age of seventy-five years, three months and seventeen
days, after a residence of forty-two years in Linn county.
Directly after the death of her husband she moved to Cen
tral City, to make her home with her daughter, Mrs, William
M. Giffen. These latter years were entirely free from care,
serene and enjoyable to an unusual degree for a person of
her age. She made many visits to her former home and
friends in Cayuga county, New York, and often visited her
son, La Verne W, Noyes, in Chicago, Those who knew her
best say that she dealt gently with all, and was never heard
to speak an unkind word of any one, while her influence
over children was such that they would not quarrel in her
presence. One might call her an apostle of peace ; yet, to
her country, she bravely gave up her eldest son, * *

The foUowing is an extract from an article in the " Ma
sonic Advocate " concerning 735-Daniel Noyes : —
HON, DANIEL NOYES.
Extract from a Brief Sketch of His Life, by Mortimer
Nye, P. G. M.
Hon. Daniel Noyes was born at Poultney, Vt., June 27, A. D.,
1830. His family was one of the oldest and most highly re
spected of the New England colony, and his ancestors, known
historically as " Green Mountain Boys," assisted in the Eevo-
lutionary war for American independence.
When Judge Noyes was quite young his mother removed to
Seneca Falls, N. Y., where the subject of this sketch attended
the academy of that place, from which he graduated in 1843.
In 1844 young Noyes entered Genoa College, and remained
there as a student for three years. In 1847 he entered Union
College at Schenectady, N, Y., and graduated therefrom with
honors in 1848. He immediately entered the law ofl&ce of Clark
& Underwood, at Auburn, N. Y., as a student, where he re
mained, pursuing his studies of the law, until 1851, when he
was admitted to the bar of the Supreme Court of the State by
examination, in which he achieved great distinction.
In the spring of 1862 Judge Noyes started for the West, for
the purpose of seeking a permanent home, and engaging in the

164 DESCENDANTS OP
practice of his profession. After visiting many towns on the
prairies of Illinois and in the wilds of Wisconsin, he visited La
Porte, which he soon selected as a home, and has resided there
continuously to the present time. It took but a short time for
him to achieve such distinction at the bar as to place him
among the leading and most prominent attorneys of the north
ern part of the State.
Judge Noyes was elected mayor of La Porte for three several
terms of two years each. He held the office of county attorney
for years ; was elected judge of the Court of Common Pleas,
and served until that court was abolished by State legislation.
In November, 1876, he was elected judge of the Thirty-second
Judicial Circuit, and has held the office continuously to the pres
ent time. His reputation as a judge is above criticism — honest,
conscientious, intelligent, and possessed of the very highest
executive ability. His decisions and conduct of the court's
business command the respect of the bar and the most zealous
regard of honest litigants, and of the people. It is a conceded
fact that if he so desires he can again be elected to the office
which he has so acceptably filled for the past eighteen years.
Judge Noyes has never been anxious to hold what are gener
ally termed high offices. Often he has declined the congres
sional nomination, and has refused a position on the Supreme
Bench. His sole ambition has been to stand high in the estima
tion of the better class of men in his section of the State, and
to honorably and intelligently discharge every public and private
duty. 378— MILTON 6—176. Son of Eliakim S. and Mary

(From the Rochester Post and Express, Oct. 16, 1903.)
" The death of General Henry Taylor Noyes, a distinguished
soldier and prominent resident of Rochester, occurred yesterday
afternoon, at the family home, 283 Alexander street. Death
followed a long and painful illness. Mr. Noyes was 65 years of
age. Besides his wife, he leaves five children : Henry T. Noyes,
jr., Miss Lua C, Katherine, and Edelweiss Noyes, of Rochester,
and Selden G. Noyes, of lola, Kan. ; one sister, Mrs. E. C. Fish,
and one brother, Milton Noyes, both of Rochester. Arrange
ments for the funeral have not been completed.
Henry Taylor Noyes was born on August 10, 1838, in Starkey,
Yates county. He was the son of a farmer, and his early edu
cation was received in the district school. He afterward attended
Starkey seminary, from which he was graduated when 16 years
old. After graduating he taught school for a time, and then
became surveyor, and later a student in the law school of Colum
bia College.

REV. MOSES NOYES OP LYME, CT. 167
It was while yoimg Noyes was a senior in the law school that
war was declared between the North and South. He responded
to the call to arms and enlisted with the One Hundred and Forty-
eighth New York volunteers. He was commissioned an adjutant
soon after joining the regiment, and in 1864 he was promoted to
be inspector-general of the second division of the eighteenth
army corps. While acting as inspector-general he served with
General Martindale, a former resident of this city. He accom
panied the Army of the James, and afterward the Army of the
Potomac, in the campaign of i 864, and was honorably discharged
from the service in 1865.
At the close of the war Mr, Noyes went to Michigan, where
he became a factor in the lumber trade. He purchased great
tracts of redwood in northern California, and remained in the
West until 1870, when he removed to Seneca Falls, N. Y., where
he became manager and part owner of the National Yeast Com
pany, On Sept. 29, 1869, he was married to Miss Lu C, Cham
berlain, of Seneca Falls, a daughter of the Hon. Jacob P. Cham
berlain, who was a member of Congress in war times, represent
ing the twenty-eighth congressional district, of which his son-in-
law, Mr. Noyes, was later elected representative.
In March, 1879, Mr. Noyes was appointed lieutenant-colonel
of the Forty-ninth regiment of the National Guard. In June of
that year he was brevetted colonel, and in April, 1895, he was
appointed commissary- general of subsistence of the state by
Governor Morton. He was reappointed by Governor Black in
1897. In politics General Noyes was a stanch Republican. While a
resident of Seneca Falls, where he remained until 1891, when he
moved to this city, he took an active interest in the affairs of the
town, and was highly esteemed. He became president of the
village in 1881, and in 1890 he was nominated for representative
in Congress by the Republicans of the twenty-eighth congres
sional district. The result of the election caused a controversy
that was carried to every court in the state, all of which affirmed
his election.
Few men aside from the great generals of the civil war prob
ably were as well known as General Noyes in military circles.

168 DESCENDANTS OF
From 1883 to and including 1885, he spent the most of his time
studying military science in Europe. He was a member of such
military organizations as the United Service Club of the military
order of the Loyal Legion, Military Service institution, a life
member of the Society of the Army of the Potomac, and the
Army and Navy Club, and was formerly a member of George H.
Thomas Post, G. A. R., of this city. He was also a member of
the Metropolitan Club, and was one of the oldest as well as one
of the 100 life members of the New York Yacht Club. Of this fact
Mr. Noyes was especially proud, as he had always been a devotee
of yachting and was deeply interested in all allied subjects. He
indulged his love of the sea at his beautiful summer home at
Nantucket. General Noyes was of Puritan and Huguenot stock, his fam
ily having been among the first exiles to Holland, some of its
members later lea,ding the party of Puritans that founded New
buryport, Mass. One of his forefathers became attorney- general
of England, and was a well known writer of legal works. His
ancestor, James Noyes, of Newburyport, became a professor in
Harvard University in 1659, continuing in the work for half a
century. His great-grandfather, Moses Noyes, was the first
president of the board of trustees of Yale University.
General Noyes, after coming to Rochester, became interested
in several large corporations, among them the German-American
Button Company, of which he had been the president for the
last four years,"

his native town in early life ; and from the magnitude of his
undertakings resembled the great author of India and Cen
tral wharves. Broad, India, Market (now Cornhfll), Brattle
streets, and the Mfldam, a solid causeway. He was one of
the original projectors of Long Wharf, and the erection of
that pier may justly be attributed to his enterprising spirit.
The work was commenced soon after the great fire of 1711,
which commenced in Capt, Ephraim Savage's house, in Wil-
Uams court, and swept off both sides of Cornhill, part of
Court (Queen) street, and State (King) street, to the dock,

He was made a freeman 31 May, 1671 ; selectman, 1676-7 ;
chosen constable 1679-80, but not wishing to serve, paid the

May 31st, 1684, Capt. Thomas Noyes of Newbury was
ordered by Major Nathaniel SaltonstaU of Haverhfll " to
provide a flight of colors for the foot company, ye ground
field or flight whereof is to be green, with a red cross, with
a white field in ye angle, according to the antient custome
of our own English plantations in America, and our own
practice in our ships and other vessels. The number of bul
lets to be put into the colors for distinction may be left out
at present without damage in the making of them."
August 3d, 1705, Col. SaltonstaU wrote to Lt. Col. Thomas
Noyes, of Newbury, as f oUows : —
" Sir — By his excellency's express direction, I command
you in her majesty's name forthwith to appoint and set forth
one half of your command by name and have them ready,
weU fixt with arms, ammunitin, and ten days' provision, to
march at an hour's warning. The command is strict."
Sept. 28th, 1705, Col. SaltonstaU wrote again, as follows i
" I desire and order by tomorrow morning at farthest, you
press and post at your block houses at Newbury twelve able
soldiers, three at each of your block houses, to abide there
night and day to watch."

178 DESCENDANTS OP
In June, 1706, under commands from Col. SaltonstaU to
Col. Noyes, twenty able soldiers of the Newbury mflitia
were sent to Haverhill, on July 5th, and when they appeared
Col. SaltonstaU wrote again, as follows : —
" I received your return of ye twenty men ye Governor
commanded me to caU for, and when ye persons (which I
can't caU men), appeared, even a considerable number of
them, to be but boys, or children, and not fit for service,
blind in part, and deaf, and cross-handed, I slept till I waited
on ye Governor, ye twelfth instant, and upon liberty to
speak to him, I, with ye Major, have taken ye best care we
can to keep the men and children sent hither for the present,
tfll I may have opportunity to tell you the queen likes it not
to be served in this manner. But in one special, Nicholas
by name, is blind and deaf and small, and not fit to be con
tinued, and therefore, to be short, I sent Nicholas home to
you, and do expect you will send some able man in his
place, if you have an able one in Newbury. The other
diminutives are sent out to garrison at present, or else you
had met with them to return to you for a like exchange.
My heart if it speaks is full, I want a suitable time to
tell you what I have to say on her majesty's behalf. Twelve
BOYS for originally prest MEN, and they hired too. I know
not ye irregularity of it. I shall be glad to see you, and
intend to do it, either at HaverhiU or Newbury, or a middle
place, as you may desire, if I am able to attend to see what
is right and what is our duty for us to do."
Two weeks later Col. SaltonstaU wrote again, as follows :
" One Smith came this daj'' with two of his sons in order
to get a release for John Danforth, I wonder how you con
cern yourself so much about this man to get Danforth home,
and disregard your default, and have not yet sent a good

On account of Indian hostflities, the following order was
issued, August 7, 1690 : —

belonging to this towne to bring their arms and ammunition
to ye meeting house every saboth day and at all other pub
lick meetings, and also they are required to carry their arms

BAINBRIDGE C, b. 8 Aug., 1822 ; d. 5 May, 1845.
The following article is quite interesting, concerning
Bainbridge C*: — A Gkeat Musician.
Bainbridge C, Noyes, the first of the name, was the youngest
son of Joseph and Elizabeth (Spofford) Noyes, and was born in
Milford, Mass,, Aug. 8, 1822. He came to Georgetown when a
boy, and learned his art here. The writer well remembers his
exercises on his favorite instruments mornings, noons, and even
ings, in the old Phoenix Building, where he worked on shoes
with his brothers, Hiram N., Alfred B,, and Charles A. (Albert)
Noyes, He died unmarried, May 6, 1845, at the early age of 22
years. His remains were among the first buried in Harmony
cemetery. His grandfather on his mother's side was the cele
brated architect and bridge builder, Jacob Spofford, associated
with Timothy Palmer in building the Haverhill Rocks and Chain
bridges. His grandmother was Mary Tenney.
The following is the article that has had circulation in all the
musical magazines and many newspapers :
A musical journal, in an article on celebrated instrumental
performers, speaks of a remarkable trombonist, who, a genera
tion ago, attracted great attention at a concert in Boston, but
whose name the writer is unable to recall. The musician in
question was Bainbridge Noyes of Salem, whose rendering of
the most difficult and rapid music on the unwieldy trombone
was equal to that of Ned Kendall on the Kent bugle, or Ar-
buckle on the cornet. His favorite piece was ' Fisher's Horn
pipe,' with unlimited improvised variations. Once, while visit-

THOMAS NOYES OF NEWBURY 193
ing New York State, he was strolling over a muster field, he
came across a brass band ' at ease ' on the ground, and half
unconsciously he picked up a trombone and tooted the scale, just
to test its tone, and laid it down again. The owner, thiaking to
astonish a tyro, and perhaps, also, encourage him, by showing
him to what excellence it was possible to attain, took up the
instrument and played a popular march very creditably, he
being more than an average performer, and looked to Noyes for
signs of approval, who clapped his hands, exclaiming, ' Good !
capital ! ' He then reached for the horn again and struck up
' Fisher's Hornpipe,' the members of the band staring in
amazement, while the soldiers ran from all directions and gath
ered round the musician, whom they took for a veritable wizard.
When he had finished the piece, with all the filling he could
imagine, nobody cheered — they just looked at him, and when he
handed back the trombone, the owner said in a surly tone,
* Keep the darned thing, I never'll blow it again.' — Georgetown

the office of the "Morning Star," a religious paper published
in Dover, N. H., where he remained four years and a half, and
then began preparing for college at Kingston Academy ; he
entered Dartmouth in 1853 and graduated in 1857, ranking
fourth in a class of fifty-seven. He then went to Cincinnati
and studied law with E. M. Curwen, and graduated at the
Cincinnati Law School, 1858, and began practicing law the
same year, and was in the successful prosecution of his pro
fession at the breaking out of the Rebellion July, 8th, 1861, his
law office was changed to recruiting headquarters, and in
less than a month a full regiment was raised, and ready for
the field, he was commissioned as Major of the Regt. (39th

THOMAS NOYES OF NEWBURY, 197
Ohio Infantry). In this rank he served with the regiment
during all its marches in Missouri, and during the campaign
for the capture of New Madrid and Island No, 10. He took
part in all the engagements of the left wing of our army at
Corinth, and at Farmington. Upon the resignation of the
Colonel and promotion of the Lieut. Colonel, he was commis
sioned Lieut, Colouel of his regiment 8 July, 1862, and took
part in the battles of luka and Corinth,
He was commissioned Colonel of the Regiment Oct, 1st,
1862, vice Gilbert resigned ; and commanded it until the
beginning of the Atlanta campaign, in camp and in engage
ments, and in buflding raflroads in Tennessee, While on
this latter duty the subject of veteran reenlistments became
prominent, and with a quick perception of its necessity. Col,
Noyes threw the whole weight of his influence into the work
of re-enlisting his regiment ; and as a result, the 39th Ohio
re-enlisted a much larger proportion of veterans than any
other Ohio regiment.
He took an active part in the Atlanta campaign, being at
the battles of Resaca, Dallas and Kenesaw Mountain, July
4th, 1864, while in command of an assault on the rebel works
near Ruff's Mills he received a wound which resulted in the
loss of a leg. After partial recovery from two amputations,
and while still on crutches, he reported for duty, and was
a,S8igned to command Camp Dennison, where he remained
untfl April 22d, 1865, when he resigned to accept the posi
tion of City Solicitor for Cincinnati, to which he was elected
while absent in the field.
He was elected Probate Judge of Hamilton County, Oct,,
1866. He was recommended for the grade of Brigadier
General by Gens. Pope, Rosencrantz, Stanley, Dodge and
Sherman ; and after being disabled for active service he was
appointed Brevet Brig. General, Mar. 13, 1865, (From

cle is copied from a local newspaper notice of his death: —
Nashua, Dec, 2, 1902, Col. Prank G. Noyes, a well-known
citizen, died at his home in Noyes block, Monday afternoon, at
3:10. His demise was sudden, and was due to congestive apo
plexy, which, in turn, is said to have been superinduced by a fall
received some days ago.
Prank G. Noyes was born in Nashua, July 6, 1833. He was
the son of Col. Leonard W. and Anne Sewall (Gardner) Noyes.
He was fitted for college at Phillips Academy, Andover, Mass.,
and entered college in 1849, graduating in 1853. Colonel Noyes
read law in the offices of Eufus Choate and Sidney Bartlett, in
Boston, and attended lectures at the law school at Harvard
University. He graduated from Harvard with the degree of
LL, B., in 1856, and was admitted to practice in the courts of
Massachusetts and New Hampshire. Immediately thereafter he
settled in Clinton, la., and formed a copartnership with Nathan
iel B. Baker, ex-governor of New Hampshire, remaining in
active practice of law until the opening of the civil war.

THOMAS NOYES OP NEWBURY 201
He was commissioned aide-de-camp on the staff of Governor
Kirkwood of Iowa. During the year that followed he had an
active part in organizing troops, and then President Lincoln
commissioned him commissary of subsistence, with the rank of

the war, participating in most of the battles in the important
campaign in the West and Southwest, among which were Shiloh,
Helena, Yazoo Pass, and Vicksburg.
After the capture of Vicksburg he went to New Orleans with

215-Nathaniel ^ settled in Salisbury, N. H., about 1790,
was a carpenter, also had a store. He took the contract to
build Dartmouth College and walked to Hanover with his
tools on his back. In 1793 he paid a tax on his goods of
150, and in 1808 on $2,000.
Nathaniel E.' (above) was a millionaire, as shown by his
executors in the following article from the Haverhill Ga
zette : —
" Bequests of Late Nathaniel Noyes abb Executed.
Heavy Tax Upon the Estate is Borne by Residuary Legatees.
Judge Ira A. Abbott and Miss Sarah Kittredge, the executors
of the will of the late Nathaniel E. Noyes, yesterday forwarded
the checks for the bequests to local institutions which were
made in the will of the deceased. The amounts forwarded
and the institutions were: Hale hospital, $20,000; Public Li
brary, Old Ladies' Home Association and the Children's Aid So
ciety, $10,000 each. The deceased left an estate valued at
$1,100,000, and the legacy tax upon the estate amounted to
$3,000. Under the will the various legatees would have had to

share this tax proportionately, but it was assumed by the resid
uary legatees so that the public legatees received their bequests
in full.
Mr. Noyes had no connections in this city, save that gained
by spending the summers in this vicinity with his relatives. In
spite of his wanderings in foreign lands, he evidently had a ten
der spot in his heart for the Massachusetts city to which he re
turned to die.
The deceased was born in Salisbury, N. H., April 18, 1813.
He was the son of Nathaniel and Sarah Emery Noyes and grand
son of Rev. Nathaniel Noyes.
He attended Groveland Academy and PhiUips Exeter Academy
but gave up his studies to learn the wholesale hardware business
in Boston. Later he removed to Baltimore, Md., where in com
pany with the late Mr. J. H. Stickney, he carried on the same
business. He retired while still a young man and travelled extensively
when foreign travel was far less common than at present. He
often spoke of travelling through Spain on horseback. He re
sided in Paris for 20 years, making occasional visits to the
United States. Por about 20 years he had been in this country,
spending the winters in Baltimore and Florida and the summers
with his sister, the late Mrs. Mary E. Kittredge, and his niece,
Miss Sarah N. Kittredge, in this city.
He was a modest, upright man, decided in his opinions and of
rare business ability. An extensive reader, he was well informed
on all subjects, a gentleman of the old school, but so simple and
retiring that in his latter days he made few friends. Perhaps
for this reason he retained a greater regard for his kindred and
the old friends remaining. To these he was ever an agreeable and
instructive companion, a genial and hospitable host."

West Nbwburt, May 7. — Joseph S. Noyes, who is one of the
oldest residents of this town, delights in telling the story how
his application for life insurance was rejected just forty-seven
years ago. At that time he resided in Salem, Mass., being en
gaged in the grocery business with his brother. He was 35
years old, but the examining physician rejected his application,
as he stated that Mr, Noyes was liable to become a consumptive.
He is now aged eighty-one, and is unusually active for his
years. With his wife Sarah, he lives on the main street in the town,
having occupied his present residence for the past twenty-four
years. Mrs. Noyes is six months her husband's senior, and does
not enjoy as good health as he. Besides being among the old
est residents in the town, the couple enjoy the rare distinction
of having attained their sixtieth wedding anniversary.
This came April 25 last, but it was not formally celebrated,
owing to Mrs, Noyes' ailments. The couple are both natives of
West Newbury, and a strange coincidence is that their mothers'
maiden names were Sarah Chase, though they were not relatives,
Mr, Noyes was a son of Enoch and Sarah (Chase) Noyes, and is
the last of a famfly of nine children, six boys and three girls.
He was born Dec. 19, 1817. Mrs. Noyes was the only child of
Moses and Sarah (Chase) Brown, being born June 20, 1817.
Mr. Noyes suffers slightly from deafness, but otherwise enjoys
perfect health, Mrs. Noyes, excepting a physical disability, is
well preserved, and daily attends to the household duties.
They were married April 26, 1839, by Eev. John Q. Edgell.
The day beforb his marriage Mr. Noyes started for Boston,
intending to return the following afternoon. In those days the
only conveyance was coaches, and it was late in the evening
when he returned. The wedding ceremony was arranged for
the early evening, and as Mr. Noyes had not returned during
the afternoon, his bride and the guests invited to the wedding
became anxious lest the wedding would have to be postponed.

224 DESCENDANTS OF
It was only a few minutes before the time set for the ceremony
that Mr. Noyes returned, and donning his wedding clothes,
hastened to join his bride. The aged couple in these days, when
grooms and brides disappear on their nuptial day, laughingly
recall the incident.
The couple had three children, one dying in infancy. Their
two sons, Moses B. Noyes and Joseph 0. Noyes, reside in this
town, the former living near the home of his parents, and Joseph
residing at home. They are both civil war veterans. Their
father, when the call for volunteers was issued by President
Lincoln, responded ; but was rejected on the physical examina
tion, the physician stating that he was subject to heart failure.
While now enjoying perfect health, and being very active,
Mr, Noyes loves to recall that and the other incident of his hav
ing been rejected by the medical examiner of the life insurance
company, believing that even physicians may err.
Excepting for a period of six years, while Mr. Noyes was
engaged in business in Salem, the couple have resided in their
native town. Mr, Noyes, when aged seventeen, accepted the
alternative of learning a trade rather than continuing his edu
cation, and was apprenticed to the shoe business. After serving
his apprenticeship, he was employed in shoemaking for a few
years, and went to Salem in 1848, where he was engaged with
his brother, Alanson W., in the grocery business. In 1854 he
returned to West Newbury, and with another brother, Enoch
W., purchased a grocery store, continuing in business four years,
when the store was sold.
Since then he has engaged in farming, though in recent years
he has led a retired life, yet still assisting in the work about his
premises. When questioned about his politics, he said that one
of the proud facts of his life was that he had never voted for a
Democrat. " I have always," said he, " been a Republican since
that party was formed, and previous to that was a Whig. My
first presidential vote was cast for William Henry Harrison, and
I have always voted in the presidential elections since then."
Mr. Noyes was once elected town collector, though he has
always had an aversion to holding political offices, and feels
proud in the fact that the records show that his was the only

term during which the year's taxes were entirely collected the
same year.
A year ago the couple mourned the death of a dear friend,
Charles Sawyer. The latter's widow, Mrs. Abigail (Brickett)
Sawyer, is still living, and with Mr. and Mrs. Noyes shares the
honor of being numbered among the oldest West Newbury resi
dents. Mr. and Mrs. Sawyer were married the same day that
Mr. and Mrs. Noyes plighted their troth, and until the death of
Mr. Sawyer each couple exchanged visits on their wedding anni
versaries. 848— EDWIN W.'— 450. Son of Enoch and Sarah

After a short visit Peter Noyes went back to England well
pleased, and returned to this country the next year in the
" Jonathon " with several friends and Nicholas, Dorothy,
Abigail, Peter, all probably his children. He was one of the
first settlers of Sudbury, — one writer says " probably the
first Englishman who buflt a habitation west of the then bound
ary of Watertown " — one of the most prominent and wealthy
men of the town, one of the commissioners to lay out and
divide the town as we see by the foUowing order dated Sept.
4, 1639. " The order of the general court upon the petition
of inhabitants of Sudbury is that Peter Noyes,  , Walter
Haynes  have commission to lay out lands to the present
inhabitants according to their estate and persons, etc." There
were three divisions of land  : 1639, Aprfl 20, 1640 and
Nov. 18, 1640, and his share was 16-32 and 24 acres. Free
man May 13, 1640. Selectman — years. (Savage says 18
years, Farmer'says 21 years). Appointed Deputy to Genl.
Court May 13,' 1640, Oct. 7, 1641 and May 22, 1650. Dea
con of first School. Appointed " Surveyor of arms " at
Sudbury, May 13, 1640 — " to order smaU cases under 20
shiUings" at Sudbury, Oct. 7,1640 (and various other dates).
"Also is appointed by this court to joine such persons in mar
riage as have been published according to order at Sudbury
affores'd " May 13, 1648. His will dated the day preceding
his death (22 Sept,, 1657) mentions all his children except
Nicholas ; his wife's name was Abigail.
His son, Thomas,^ was a prominent man in the colony, one
of the principle surveyors, and often called on to lay out
farms in Sudbury and adjacent towns. He was a selectman
for twelve years, and was authorized to marry in Sudbury ;
was caUed Ensign as early as 1658, and Lieutenant in 1665 ;
he was second in command under Capt. Hugh Mason, whose
company was ordered to march against the Dutch at the
" Monhatoes." In pay for his service in this campaign he
was granted 260 acres of land in what is now Worcester.

PETER NOYES OP SUDBURY, 229
JHe also owned land in Newbury as shown from a deed record
ed 20 Sept,, 1666. " Know all men by these presents, that
I Thomas Noyes of Sudbury in New England, in the County
of Middlesex, yeoman, — have instituted, ordained & put in
my place my ti'usty, and well beloved friend Nicholas Noyes
of Newbury, gent, and Robert Long, of Newbury, weaver,
in Essex County, in New England, my true and careful at
torneys, to ask, recover, and fence, or to let the lands and
house at Newbury which were sometimes the house and lands
of Henry Fay." In his wiU he mentions wife, brothers and
sisters, but no children.
At the May session of the Gen. Court in 1666, "Left. Thomas
Noyes of Sudbury, John Parker of BiUerriky, and Left. Chal-
lice of Salisbury Newtowne,were appointed a committee to run
the bounds of the town of Haverhill & to make returns to the
next session of the court." They submitted the following re
port: — " In obedience to an order of the General Court, dated
23 May 1666, Thomas Noyes of Sudbury, Lieftenant Challice
of Salisbury ,Newtowne & John Parker of BiUerriky, did meet
at Haverill the 31 day of Oct., 1666, to rn the bounds of
Haverfll according to an order committed unto us. Wee
began at the meeting house and runne a due west line to
Merrymacke River & started a due north line from the saide
heap of stones to meat with and close the line north
west from the bound of the Merrimac River that divides be
tween Haverfll & Salisbury, which bound is just two miles
and fourteen score poles, from Haverhill meeting house
which lyeth east, north east, & there wee cease our work at
that time for want of the order wherein that line was prefixt
between Salisbury & Haverill, from the said bound at Holt's
Rocks ; then the said committee did appoint to meet again
to finish the work about the bounds, upon the first day of
May next foUowing, this work was done by Thomas Noyes,
deceased, & refused to be submitted unto by Lieftenant
OhaUice being left alone to make his return, to the honored

230 DESCENDANTS OP
Court, by him who is your servant wherein you shall com
mand. (Signed — John Parker.)
The Court approved this report in the following words —
" The Court doe approve of this return, of the bounds of
Haverhill, as farr as the same was stated by Ensign Noyes
& rest of the committee, appointed unto before the death of
Ensign Noyes."
Joseph 2, son of Peter, was a merchant in Charlestown, in
1660, In a letter received at the Probate Court with a wfll
dated Dec, 31, 1659, proved 2nd of Aprfl, 1661, he mentions
brothers Thomas and Peter of Sudbury, and sister Abigail,
so this must be the son of Peter, and not the Joseph Noyes
of Sudbury after 1662 (who married Mary DarveU) as some
writers claim. He died in Barbadoes, — See Hitt, Qen, Regis
ter, Vol, 47, page 72,
Peter 2, son of Peter, was made a freeman 7 May, 1673 ;
Representative 1679-1691, He must have been firm in his
opinions, as in 1688, he took out two old benches from the
meeting house and put in a new one on his own responsibili
ty, for which he was severely censured by the selectmen, and
ordered to replace the benches : which he did not do, so it
was finally settled in town meeting by the following order —
' ' Ordered that ye pew shall stand there ; and that Mr, Peter
Noyes' three youngest daughters together with the daughter
of Deacon Haynes, and Mary, Capt. Brown's daughter, and
Susan, Capt. Grout's daughter shall set in the new pew, and
that they do give up their rights to ye other seats in ye
meeting house."
He left no will, and as his children did not agree upon the
division of the estate, the court appointed their uncle Josiah
Haynes with two others, to divide it for them, and in their
return they say " Having met divers times, using aU means

PETER NOYES OP SUDBURY. 231
that we know of to persuade said chfldren to agree among
themselves, they being all of them of full age, but all to little
purpose," etc. The inventory made a total of 1558 pounds.
He owned a corn and saw mfll, which was probably the one
mentioned in Vol. 68, page 224, Mil. papers, where we find
reference to " Mr. Noies miU in Sudbury where there were
thirteen or fourteen of Capt, Wadsworth's company (part
wounded) from the Sudbury fight."
[From the History of Sudbury.]
" Peter Noyes was one of the number who offered themselves
to travel for one month with horse and weekly to fetch and re
turn preachers for the supply of the town at least every Lord's
day. (1678.)
In 1699 the town chose a committee to receive a donation given
by Mr. Peter Noyes late of Sudbury, to the poor of the town.
The donation consisted of his mill. After the town took posses
sion of this it was leased a number of years to Mr. Abraham
Wood ; on the town records is the following reason for granting
it. Whereas the town taking into consideration the gift that En
sign Peter Noyes hath given to ye poor of cure towne namely ye
mflls commonly called by the name of ye New Mills with ye
land and privileges belonging to ye same and being sensible that
ye letting of it yearly will be a means to bring ye mills and
houses to decay and in time be utter mine in which will be a
great loss and wrong to cure poore and that will not answer
ye end of ye towne donor therefore, in respect to both (him) and
your own good which is involved in ye same, we therefore vote
grant liberty to them that are concerned as to ye disposal of said
gift to dispose of it gains as they shall see fit for ye benefit of
and in behalf of ye poore of ye tow ne of Sudbury, datedMarch
ye 19, 1700." * • * In 1728-9 it was voted to sell the mflls
and give the town the money, as the heirs of the donor had laid
claims to a considerable part of his gift ; lawsuit had commenced
and the town voted money to defend the property, the town
therefore voted to sell the same for the sum of 700 pounds. The

232 DESCENDANTS OP PETER NOYES OP SUDBURY.
money was to be put on interest for the use of the poor and to be
disposed of by the selectmen and ministers, March 13, 1728-9.
It is now apparent that there are no Noyes descendants of Pe
ter ' Noyes, imless they are descended from his grandson, Peters
the only son of Peter ». In Vol. 47. N. E. Hist Gen. Register
page 73, is an article copied from an old Ms. written by John
Haynes (born 1684) ; referring to the children of Peter * Noyes
he says, "Peter (3) went to England 1697 ; died of small -pox in
London, unmarried."
There are quite a number of our name who are sure that they
are descendants of Peter of this line ; but it is quite certain that
there are no Noyes descendants of this Peter. There are Noyes
descendants of 42-Peter + Noyes (a great grandson of Rev. James,'
Noyes) of Sudbury and as this name and that of Joseph '' (all of
Sudbury) are found on the town and church records, it is easy
to understand how they were confused, both names being common
to two different families, having no known common ancestor.

CHAPTER X.

MILITARY AND NAVAL SERVICE,
PATRIOTIC SOCIETIES, ETC,

The poem on the dedication page tells of
" The men whose unrecorded deeds
. Have stamped this nation's destiny.
Fortunately all the deeds that determined our destiny
were not. unrecorded ; but, as the poem says, the great ma
jority lie tn country graveyards, with no record to recall
their deeds except " The tottering slabs of slate,
Whose tribute moss and mould efface;"
and although theirs may not be the names that give the right
of membership in the patriotic societies, still the most of
them, in their day and generation, bore their share of the
trials, troubles and tribulations incident to the building of
the States ; some in an humble way, but none the less meri
torious, because they had not the greater opportunities that
came to others. A descendant of one branch of those re
corded in this Volume was anxious to join a patriotic society,
but could find no soldier ancestors, most of them having been
clergymen ; and had to find a Revolutionary ancestor in the
maternal line. But he had a paternal ancestor who has a
lecord for service in Indian wars, and would probably have
(245)

246 MILITARY AND NAVAL SERVICE.
had a revolutionary record had he been living then. One
of our correspondents informs us that she was admitted to
one of the societies, on account of his services to the Colony ;
had he been of the fifth generation, no doubt all his descend
ants would be eligible to all the patriotic societies, for the
same reason.
The war service recorded in these volumes, in the family
records, have, as a rule, been contributed by the parties who
served, or their relatives. All service of which any official
record has been found, is given in this Chapter and in Chap
ter VIII of Vol. I.
Having been a soldier in the regular army for nearly half
a century. Col, Noyes naturally takes an interest in the ser
vice records of those of our name, and only regrets that he
has not as complete records of all who have served their
country as he has of his own service. Some (if not many)
who served in the civil war will not find their services
recorded ; but the reason why some records could not be
obtained will be given later. For the benefit of future gen
erations, all such services should be recorded in full on the
blank pages after the last chapter of each volume ; the time
will come when such records will be priceless. The records
given in this chapter are simply indications to guide descen
dants to their patriot ancestors, and inform them where to
look for more records. Patriotic Societies.
The following societies are recorded in the World Alma
nac for 1903 : Founders and Patriots, Colonial Wars, Cin.
cinnati, Sons of the Revolution, Sons of the American Rev
olution, Aztec, War of 1812, Loyal Legion, Grand Army of
the Republic, Foreign Wars, Indian Wars, Medal of Honor,
Naval Order, Sons of Veterans, Army and Navy Union,
Navy Veterans, Veterans of the Spanish American War, and
many minor societies, too numerous to mention.

MILITARY AND NAVAL SERVICE. 247
The soldiers of the Spanish war have organized several
societies, some skirmish or locality serving as a basis of or
ganization. According to recent newspaper accounts, these
various societies are trying to consolidate ; if successful, it
is to be hoped that the new society may select a more appro
priate name, omitting the word " Veteran," as the majority
of members are young men, compared with real veterans of
the Mexican and Civil wars ; the incongruity is most notice
able at Grand Army reunions,
G. A. R.
The Grand Army of the Republic is too well known to
need any description ; not a village too small nor a town too
new, that has not its Post, or at least a representative of' this,
the great order organized from the veteran patriots of the
Civil War. In the natural order of things it has passed the
high water mark in its membership, and in a few brief
years its members will no longer be able to turn out for the
annual reunion; already many of them have to ride in
carriages on such occasions, and even that concession to
their years or wounds seems to gall some of them. Their
sons have formed a junior order, and wiU soon take the
places of their fathers in the annual reunions.
The Veterans of the Navy also have their organization,
simflar to that of the Army, but of course much less in num
ber than the latter, but none the less enthusiastic in their
spirit.
THE LOYAL LEGION.
The " Loyal Legion " (Military Order of the Loyal
Legion of the United States), like the Society of the Cin
cinnati of the Revolution, Umits its first-class membership to
Commissioned OflScers of the Civfl War.

248 MILITARY AND NAVAL SBEVICE,

manner the efficiency and permanency of our free institutions.
ARTICLE in.

The objects of this Order shall be to cherish the memories and asso
ciations of the war waged in defence of the unity and indivisibility of
the republic ; strengthen the ties of fraternal fellowship and sympathy
formed by companionship-in-arms ; advance the best interests of the
soldiers and sailors of the United States, especially of those associated
as companions of this Order, and extend all possible relief to their
widows and children; foster the cultivation of military and naval sci
ence; enforce unquahfied allegiance to the general government; protect
the rights and liberties of American citizenship, and maintain national
honor, union, and independence. » « * »

Society of Colonial Wars.
The General Society of Colonial Wars was organized on
May 9 and 10, 1893, in the Governor's room, City HaU,
New York, by delegates from five States and the District of
Columbia. A constitution was adopted on May 10, 1893,
and the general officers elected, but the amended constitution
was unanimously adopted at the New Netherland, New York
city, on Dec, 19, 1893, constitution— PREAMBLE.

the American Colonies, and were in truth the founders of this nation.
With this end in view, it seeks to collect and preserve manuscripts,
rolls, relics, and records; to provide suitable commemoration or memo
rials relating to the American colonial period, and to Inspire in its
members the fraternal and patriotic spirit of their forefathers, and in
the community, respect and reverence for those whose public services
made our freedom and unity possible,

Society of Colonial Dames op America.
The National Society of Colonial Dames of America is
composed of State Societies "of which there shall be one in
each of the thirteen Original States, and one in the District
of Columbia, and, there may be an associate Society in any
of the non-colonial states by and through the consent of the
National Society." Fourteen Societies now (1903) form the
National Society. Peeamble.
Whereas: — History shows that the remembrance of a Nations' glory
in the past stimulates to national greatness in the future, and that suc
cessive generations are awakened to truer patriotism, and aroused to
nobler endeavor, by the contemplation of the heroic deeds of their fore
fathers; therefore the Society of the Colonial Dames of America has
been formed, that the descendants of those men who in the Colonial
period by their rectitude, courage and self denial, prepared the way for
success in that struggle which gained for the country its liberty and
constitution, may associate themselves together to do honor to the vir^
tues of their forefathers, and to encourage to all who come under the
infiuence, true patriotism, built on a knowledge of the self-sacrifice and
heroism of those men of the Colonies who laid the foundation of this
great nation. Aeticle ii,
" The objects of the Society shall be to coUectand preserve manuscript,
traditions, relics and mementos of by-gone days ; to preserve and restore
buildings connected with the early history of our country; to diffuse
healthful and intelligent information concerning the past; to create a
popular interest in our colonial history, to stimulate a spirit of true

MILITARY AND NAVAL SERVICE, 257
patriotism and a genuine love of country; and to inspire upon the
young the sacred obligation of honoring the memory of those heroic
ancestors, whose ability, valor, sufferings, and achievements are beyond
all praise."
" State Societies shall be composed entirely of women who are descen
ded in their own right from some ancestor of worthy life who came to
reside in an American Colony prior to 1750, which ancestor or some of
his descendants, being a lineal descendant of the applicant, shall have
rendered efficient service to his country during the colonial period,
either in the founding of a Commonwealth, or of an institution which
has survived into importance, or who shall have held an important posi
tion in the Colonial Government, or who by distinguished service, shall
have contributed to the founding of this great and powerful nation."
" All service which constitutes a claim to membership must have
been rendered before July 5, 1776, but this date shall be held to include
all the signers of the Declaration of Independence."
The State Societies shall regulate all matters respecting their own
affairs consistent with the general good of the Society.

is too well known to require any description.
The feminine descendants of ancestors of other wars have

264 MILITARY AND NAVAL SERVICE.
As stated in the introductory chapter, an effort was made
to procure from the War Department in Washington, copies
of aU records of military and naval service rendered by those
of our name, for which the necessary expense of copying
was guaranteed. Not being successful in that effort, other
methods had to be adopted, with results that are all too slight
to satisfy the authors, for several reasons; the principal one
being the great expense incident to getting the records from
forty -five states,* most of which sent men of our name to the
wars in which the country has been involved since
1860. As there was but little emigration from the New
England states before the Revolution, we have secured quite
complete records of the names, etc., of those of our name
who served in the Revolution, from the New England States
records, and have nearly two hundred such records; about
half of which have been determined as to their ancestry, giv
ing their descendants the assurance that they are eligible to
membership in the patriotic societies. Many of the records
gave no place of residence or enlistment, or other data which
would assist in fixing their ancestry, and in many cases were
evidently additional records of those of the same name whose
ancestry has been determined. It is probable that at least
three-fourths of all who had Revolutionary service, have been
identified. AU these have their serial numbers prefixed for
those records in Volume I, and following the names are the
serial numbers for Volume II.

*The General Register of the Sons of the American Revolution states
that the officials of some of the states charge three dollars for a copy of
war service record; others charge two dollars for the search, and a dol
lar more for a certificate of service ; and some charge only one dollar for
the search aud copy of record. The best way to procure copies of such
records, is by application to the Chief of Record and Pension Office,
Washington, D. C, as provided by the official order on the subject, a
copy of which is given in this chapter.

MILITARY AND NAVAL SERVICE. 265
(Copy,)
Wae Depaetment, Washington, D. C, February 23, 1897.
Oedees :
The muster rolls and other records of individual officers, enlisted men
and organizations which are on file in the Record and Pension Office of
this Department and which pertain to the War of the Rebellion, the
Mexican War, the various Indian Wars, the War of 1812 and the War of
the Revolution, have become so dilapidated through years of constant
handling, or other causes, that it has been found necessary to adopt
stringent measures for their preservation, and to restrict reference to
them to cases in which such reference is absolutely necessary. Many
of the most important of those records have been reproduced by the
index-record system, but the handling of these cards, as well as the
original records which they represent, by persons not thoroughly in
structed in their use and not under the control of this Department,
involves great danger of the loss, through misfiling or otherwise, of
cards or other records which cannot be replaced. For these reasons,
as well as for others eqiially cogent, the Department is compelled to re
strict access to both the original records and the index-record cards
exclusively to persons who are in the employ of the Department and
are lawfully subject to its control.
The Department will furnish at any time such information relative to
any individual officer or enlisted man as its records affords, and as may
be actually necessary to enable the proper officials of any State, or any
relief association, patriotic society or other kindred organization, to
pass upon any application that may have been made in good faith for
aid, relief or membership, and that may properly come within the juris
diction of such officials or organization. But requests for information
relative to individual officers or enlisted men, or for the compilation of
statistical or other data relative to particular organizations, to be used
for historical or memorial purposes, or for publication, cannot be enter
tained, because the limited clerical force allowed by law is insufficient
to enable the Department to comply with such requests without serious
interference with more important current work.
The records of general historical value pertaining to the late war have
either been published, or soon will be published, in the " Official Rec
ords of the Union and Confederate armies," so as to render them
accessible to all who may be interested in them. Should Congress pro
vide in future for a similar publication of the records relating especially
to individual officers, enlisted men and organizations of that war and
prior wars, the historical data which those records contain will also
become available for general use, but until such publication shall have
been authorized, or other legislation enacted it will be impracticable
for the Department to furnish compilations or statements from those
records for historical, memorial or statistical purposes, or for publication.

266 MILITARY AND NAVAL SERVICE,
For the reasons set forth above, the following rules have been
adopted relative to the subject of furnishing statements of extracts
from the records of the personnel of the volunteer armies and other
similar records on file in the Record and Pension Office of this Depart
ment, and are hereby announced for the information and guidance of
all concerned.
1. All requests, made by persons other than officials of the United
States, for information from the official records must, to receive favor
able consideration, set forth the specific purpose for which they are made,
and must be sufficiently in detail to enable this Department to determine

the purpose indicated and can properly be furnished-
2. Any such request that may be made with a view to determining
the merits of an application for State or other aid or relief must be
made, over his own signature, by the State or other official who may be
authorized by law to decide whether such aid or relief shall be fur
nished; or, in case the decision rests with a board, commission or
association, the request must be made, over his or her own signature,
by the chief officer of the board or other organization which is em
powered to decide the case. All such requests must, to receive favor
able consideration, meet the following requirements:
(a) The character of the relief or aid for which application has
been made must be fully and specifically set forth.
(6) If the application is to be decided under a law of any State, that

person whose record is desired must be set forth.
(e) The full name of the person whose record is requested, the rank
held by him, and the designation of the organization in which it is
claimed that he served, must invariably be stated.
3. Any request that may be made for the purpose of enabling a so
ciety or association to decide as to the eligibility or non-eligibility of
an applicant for admission thereto must be made by the chief officer,
over his or her own signature, or that branch of the society or association
in which the application is to be voted upon or otherwise decided, and
must meet the following requirements :
(a) The title or designation, and the location, of the branch to
which the application for membership has been made, must be given.
(b) The full name and residence of the applicant, and the date on
which the application was made, must be stated.
(c) The relationship of the ai^plicant to the person whose record is

MILITARY AND NAVAL SERVICE. 267
desired, if the application for membership was not made by such person
himself, must be set forth.
(d) If the record of any other person has been requested of, or fur
nished by, the War Department, in connection with the pending
application, a statement to that effect, including the name of the person
whose record has been requested or furnished, must be made.
(e) The full name and rank of the person whose record is desired,
and the designation of the company and regiment, if any, in which he
served, must be invariably stated in all cases in which service during
the War of the Rebellion is claimed.
(/) The full name of the person whose record is desired, and the
State from which he entered service, or of which he was a resident at
the time of his entry into service, must be invariably stated in all cases
in which service during the Revolution or the War of 1812 is claimed
His rank and the designation of the organization in which he served
if known, should also be stated.
(g) Requests for the record of a man whose surname only is known,
or for information relative to all the men bearing a certain name, will
not be entertained.
4. Requests emanating from a post or other subsidiary organization
of the Grand Army of the Republic must be forwarded through, and
must be authenticated by the signatnre of, the department commander.
Requests emanating from the subdivisions of other associations founded
on military service during the War of the Rebellion must be forwarded
and authenticated as follows : Union Veterans' Union, through depart
ment commanders ; Union Veteran Legion, through the national com
manders; Sons of Veterans, through division commanders.
5. The information that will be furnished for use in connection with
any application for membership in any society or association, or for
State or other aid or relief, will be strictly limited to that which is
actually necessary to enable a decision upon the pending application to
be made, and will in no case comprise items that may be desired for any
other purpose, such as to complete the records of a society, to make
some other and different application, or to be used in the prosecution of
a claim against the United States.
0. Concise statements of the military histories, so far as shown by
the records on file, of men who served in the Revolution or in the
War of 1812, will be furnished upon the application of descendants of
those men, under the following conditions : —
(a) The relationship of the applicant to each person whose record
is desired must be stated.
(b) The full Christian name as well as the surname of such person
must invariably be given, and the rank which he held and the designa
tion of the organization in which he served, if those are known, must
be stated.

268 MILITARY AND NAVAL SERVICE.
(c) The place, or at least the State, from which he entered service,

(d) If the name of the person whose record is desired is a common
one, the designation of the organization in which he served, or the
names of some of the regimental officers under whom he served, must
be stated.
(e) Requests for information relative to all the men bearing a certain
name will not be entertained, nor will any other request involving an
unreasonable expenditure of time and labor be considered.
(f) There will not be furnished to or for any one descendant the
record of service of more than two ancestors in the Revolution, or of
more than two in the War of 1812.
7. Each request for the record of an officer or enlisted man of any
war should be made on a separate sheet of paper, should be complete
in itself, and should fully meet all the requirements of this order. In
no case should requests for the records of two or more men be com
bined in one communication.
8. Compilations or statements relative to individual officers, enlisted
men or organizations, will not be furnished, from the records on file in
the Record and Pension Office, for historical, memorial, or statistical
purposes, or for publication, or to complete the records of States
societies, or associations.
9. Because of the great danger of the destruction, loss or misfiling,
through handling by inexperienced persons or those not under the
control of this department, of the muster rolls and other regimental
or company records, index record cards, and all other similar records,
which are on file in the Record and Pension Office, and which pertain
wholly or chiefiy to the personnel of the armies of the various wars,
the handling of those records will be restricted exclusively to the
specially trained employees of that office, and no information will be
furnished from them except as hereinbefore provided, or as may be
otherwise required by law. Daniel S. Lamont, Secretary of War,

MILITARY AND NAVAL SERVICE, 285
The following sketch from the Boston Herald refers to
745-Amos F. Noyes. (See page 359.)
Norway, Me., Nov. 20, 1903.
The oldest living member of the Grand Army now in Maine
is Capt. Amos A, F, Noyes of this town, who, at the advanced
age of 91, retains his faculties and health to a wonderful degree.
His military degree began in 1836, when he was chosen cap
tain of the Norway militia. In 1839 he was appointed by the
governor of Maine as a captain, and served in the Aroostook war
of that year. When the Civil war broke out he entered the ser
vice, Dec. 16, 1862, as first lieutenant of Co. G, 14th regiment,
serving six months and two days, when he was discharged for
disabilities caused by wounds.
As soon as he recovered from these wounds he was commis
sioned by the governor of Maine a captain of Company H, 23d
regiment, serving in this capacity nine months, receiving a dis
charge for expiration of time. He was then appointed captain
of Company B, 32d regiment, on March 10, 1864, being dis
charged Dec. 12 of the same year by consolidation.
During his term of service he was in the battles of the Wil
derness, Spottsylvania, Cold Harbor, North Anna River, and in
front of Petersbiu'g. Near the court house at Spottsylvania he
received a severe wound in his shoulder from a shell, and was
left on the field for dead. He has always suffered from the
effects of this wound. He at one time received a fracture of
three ribs, through falling down a hatchway on board a vessel
at Ship Island,
While in the 32d regiment, by reason of the sickness of "the
colonel and the major, he was for some time in charge of the
regiment. This regiment saw some of the hardest service of the
war, and Capt. Noyes was in the thickest of it.
Since the war closed Capt. Noyes has retained his interest in
the welfare of the country and of the soldiers who served under
him, and has kept in touch with them. He has served as com
mander of Harry Rust Post, G. A. R., in Norway, and has al
ways attended the reunions of the regiments to which he

286 RECORD OP MILITARy AND NAVAL SERVICE,
belonged. At the reunion of the old 32d this summer he was
the oldest person in the assembly.
Capt, Noyes was the son of Ward Noyes, born in Andover,
Mass., in the year 1772, and married Clarissa Wood. Ward
Noyes early moved to Norway, where his son, the subject of this
sketch, was born, Dec. 14, 1812. When only eight years old, by
the death of his father, Amos was left to the care of his widowed
mother. He attended the district schools of the tovm, and, with
what privileges were at his disposal, gathered considerable
knowledge. Early in manhood he learned the carpenter's trade, which,
with his farming, he carried on until the outbreak of the Civil
war. Three years prior to that time he served as chairman of
the selectmen of the town, and after his return from the war
served in a similar capacity three years more.
Soon after his return to Norway he sold his farm and removed
to the village, where he has since resided, following his trade for
many years, and finally retiring from active work. He lives in
his own home, quietly and comfortably.
Now, at the age of 91, he still is active and interested in all
about him.

CHAPTER XI.

MISCELLANEOUS.

HEREDITY.
Out from a tomb crept Vice, with hideous leer;
"I am Heredity," he said, " whom all men fear;
I sleep, but die not : when fate calls I come,
And generations at my touch succumb."
A lofty shape rose sudden in his path,
It cried, " You lie," and struck at him in wrath ;
Heredity, the braggart, stark and still.
Fell prostrate at the feet of mighty WILL.

THE ETERNAL WILL.

There is no thing we cannot overcome;
Say not thy evil instinct is inherited.
Or that some trait in-born makes thy whole life forlorn.
And calls down punishment that is not merited.
Back of thy parents and grandparents lies
The great Eternal Will. That, too, is thine
Inheritance — strong, beavitiful, divine,
Sure lever of success for one who tries.
Pry up thy fault with this great lever — Will.
However deeply bedded in propensity,
However firmly set, I tell yoii, firmer yet
Is that vast power that comes from truth's immensity.
Thou art a part of that strange world, I say;
Its forces lie within thee, stronger far
Than all thy mortal sins and frailties are ;
Believe thyself divine, and watch and pray.
(287)

288 MISCELLANEOUS.
There is no noble height thou canst not climb ;
All triumphs may be thine in Time's futurity;
If whatsoe'er thy fault, thou dost not faint nor halt.
But lean upon the staff of God's security.
Earth has no claim the soul cannot contest.
Know thyself part of the Supernal Source,
And naught can stand before thy spirit's force ;
The soul's divine inheritance is best. Mia Wlieeler Wilcox.

THE OLD HOME.

The very frequent appearance in the poetry of the day of references
to the " old homestead," the brindle cow, and the old oaken bucket,
show how strongly rooted is the popular love for the farm and all its
associations. Notwithstanding this, the object of all this sentiment
and solicitude has become more and more pitiable, as the moss and
mold of neglect and decay have slowly crept over its roof. To so many
who now live in the centre of our busy hives the recollections of the
hay-mow or the duck-pond of the parental farm mean the only home
they have ever had. The ruthless tread of affairs has carried them
from the orchards and lanes where they spent their earlier days into
the narrow streets where nothing grows but money, and where there is
never a relaxation from work and care. By degrees the old farms of
New England have gone to pieces, the young people have migrated to
the towns and cities, and often nature has claimed again for her own
the land which once was tilled. Where the cattle grazed a growth of
forest has come; where the old barn stood a heap of crumbling stones
marks the spot, while the house, battered by storms, merely emphasizes
the destruction which time has wrought. By degrees it has became
tenantless. Upon the death of the old people who owned it the holder
of the mortgage has stepped in. Unable to occupy it himself, he has
found tenant after tenant for it. It has become unsalable, the few re
pairs put upon it are only added expenses. Tenantless, and avoided
even by the money-lender, dilapidation and weeds take possession.
But while it seems as if the desolate old spot had no friends, you may
be certain that somewhere there is cherished a love for every foot of its
soil, for every tree in its forests, every pebble in its brooks. Somewhere
there is a person who could tell you of the undiscovered beauties of
the place; somewhere there is an imagination that will always see it
peopled as of old; somewhere there is a worker who dreams that in
his old age he will go back to it again and possess it as an abiding place
when health fails him. This is the meaning of the occasional rejuvena
tion which we see throughout the east. Prosperity has not overtaken
the farm again, but the occupant has achieved fortune enough to rescue

MISCELLANEOUS. 289
¦some fast-sinking spot from decay. This is the meaning of the growing
fondness for and indulgence in amateur farming. It means that the
love of a life in the open air smoulders in the breast of every one who
has ever known its peaceful tranquilities, and that the excitements of
the city and the cares of business cannot wholly eradicate it. One who
has been nurtured among the trees and fields can never think of the
four walls of a city or suburban dwelling as a " home." To him it is
merely a residence — a transient stopping place, to which he can attach
no sentiment, and which he is ready to abandon at a moment's notice,
without regret or sorrow. Much as has been written of the Anglo-
Saxon fondness for home, the trend toward cities has obtused the
sharpness of the feeling to such an extent that we can hardly be con
sidered to-day as home-loving a people as we were a hundred years
ago. Perhaps as the country grows richer we shall return to it again.
Meanwhile, the reverence for the emblems of the old order is still keen,
and with the first breath of spring the odors of the opening buds and
leaves steal into the open windows of our crowded offices to remind
every occupant of an abandoned farm somewhere.

VERITABLE PATRIARCH.
kextuckia:n' at the head of family numbering 162.
Gallatis, Texn., Jan. 19. To be at the head of a family of 162
persons is a record seldom falling to the lot of man. But such is the
case of John Chandler, who resides in Allen county, Kentucky, just
over the Sumner county line. This gentleman is the father of twenty-
nine children, twenty-one of whom are living and have families. These
twenty-one "children" have an average of five children to each fami
ly, thus making Mr. Chandler the grandfather of 105 persons. But
this is not the full extent of his offspring, for he has thirty-five great
grandchildren. So it will be seen that, with his wife, Mr. Chandler
stands pater-familias of 162 — an achievement rarely equalled. It cer
tainly is not paralleled when the fact is considered that the members
of this large family are all living. Mr. Chandler is a remarkable man
in several other respects. He is a man of more than ordinary intelli
gence, and although 75 years of age, and residing in the hills of Allen
county, reads current literature and keeps himself informed on the
leading topics of the day. His eyesight is perfect, and he reads the
finest print without the aid of glasses. He is an expert rifle shot, and
spends a great deal of time squirrel-hunting. He cast his first ballot
for a presidential candidate in 184S, for Taylor, the Whig nominee, but
for the past fifty years has voted the Democratic ticket. His wife, who
is three years older than he, like himself, is hale and hearty, and
together they enjoy themselves in their comfortable little home in the
hills of Allen county, where all travellers who go that way are always
cordially received.

290 MISCELLANEOUS.
MAY BE THE YOUNGEST GRANDMOTHER.
[From the Cincinnati Enquirer.]
ViNCENNES, Ind., Jan. 14. Knox county lays claim to having the
youngest grandmother in the State, if not in the United States. Her
name is Mrs. James Burke, and she is barely 33 years old. She lives at
Deckers. Her daughter Bertha married John Midkiff two years ago, and
to them a little daughter was born this week. The mother of the child
is not quite 15 years old, while the father is but 19. The combined age
of the father and mother is but one year older than the grandmother,
and the combined ages of the grandfather, grandmother, mother, father
and child, is only 100 years, yet this represents three generations.

As quite a number of our subscribers, in sending their orders for our
work, have guessed at our relationship, ranging through that of several
generations, we have concluded to print it, in order to save the curious
the trouble of investigation. We would be pleased to know just what
is our degree of cousiuship.

Being of a former generation, Miss Noyes ought to be older than
Henry E.; but he is a descendant of the eldest branch, his ancestor
John having been the oldest son of Nicholas; while she is a descendant
of James, one of the younger sons, and is the younger. We have
worked together on this genealogy since 1892, each sending to the
other all new data, so that the records have actually been kept in
duplicate. Col. Noyes has carried his records wherever his military
duties sent him, whether into the Indian country in the territories, or
to Cuba. Having visited New England but once since 1879, most of the
data has been collected by correspondence. Some of the records are
actually worn out by frequent handling, and some have been copied at
least a dozen times.
MISCELLANEOUS.
A GENEALOGICAL VICTIM.
At the golden portal yonder.
Stood our ever faithful Pete,
Waiting for some tired out wanderer
To let in on golden street.
As he gazed far in the distance
On the struggling earth below,
Saw he just about to leave it
One poor man, so full of woe.
As he neared the good old keeper
He could scarcely drag along,
Though on earth he was considered
Quite a man amongst the strong.
When the journey he had ended.
There he stood, outside the door.
All exhausted from his labors,
Summering on earth in '94.
Seems to me your life is shortened
By a score of years or more.
My dear man what brings you thither.
Why not stay on yonder shore?
Here we'd rather let in elders
Who are weak and need the rest.
All the young on earth should wander
'Till they've worked to do their best.
Done my best? the wanderer answered;
Sure I've tried to do that, most.
But your record, said St. Peter,
Is not one of which to boast.
Up to June of this last summer
You had led a fair good life.
Oh, dear man, why did you enter
In that dread genealogical strife?
'Stead of ^settling with your family
In the quiet country nooks.
You did leave your wife and children
To look up the dead in books.
What cared you who married Joseph
In two hundred years gone by?
Whether Mr. — what you call it
Did perform the nuptial tie?

MISCELLANEOUS.
Does it matter whether Prudence
Was of Jane or Susan Ann?
And I'm sure it makes no difference
Which she had as " her old man."
Think of all the coin you wasted
Travelling over country wide.
Seeing who had Jeremiah
Taken to him as a bride.
Then you couldn't locate Faithful,
Whether she married John of C,
Or was fool enough to squander
Her whole life with John of Lee.
Now John of Lee had nine children.
But you had it down as eight,
Then you took another journey
To explain that extra date.
Your poor wife she grew distracted
Hearing of your family bones,
E'en the living in your household
Jarred your nerves by childish tones.
The family tree you grew on paper,
And did hoist your bones on limb,
On the highest 'stead of lowest
You did hang your uncle Jim.
Ah ! poor wretch, my pity for you
For until the earth doth end,
You must ever, ever wander.
On this genealogical bend.
On the other side of portal
You will find your bones way back,
And from Adam you must search for
'Till you find no one you lack.
On the fields of gold some wander,
While some do roam on fields of heat,
You must go from one to t'other.
Not on wings, but on your feet.
Enter, enter, my poor stranger,
On your genealogical search.
Not until the earth has ended
Can you sit on your high perch.

MAY MARRY THIRTEENTH WIFE.
Dublin, Ind., Jan. 23. Philip Veidelburg of Madison county un
doubtedly holds the record in Indiana for marriages. He is 56 years of
age and has been married twelve times. He is the father of thirty-two
children. It is said Veidelburg hopes to live long enough to marry his
thirteenth wife.

PUZZLING FAMILY EELATIONS CONSEQUENT ON TWO
MICHIGAN MAEEIAGES.
[Nexo York Journal.]
In Prescott, Mich., recently, John A. Cameron, aged 89, married Miss
Anna B. Van Doren, aged 26. Previous to this marriage Hugh C. Cam
eron, aged 58, son of John A. Cameron, married Mrs. George Van
Doren, widowed mother of Miss Anna Van Doren. The resulting
complications are best set forth as follows : —
Father — John A. Cameron married Anna B. Van Doren, who was his
son's daughter-in-law. By this marriage John A. Cameron became his
son's step-son-in-law; his wife's step-grandfather; his mother-in-law's
father-in-law; his daughter-in-law's son-in-law.
Son — Hugh C. Cameron, son of John A. Cameron, married to Mrs.
George Van Doren, who is his father's mother-in-law. By this marriage
Hugh C. Cameron became his father's step-father-in-law; his wife's step-
grandson-in-law; his step-mother's step-father.
Mother — Mrs. George Van Doren, mother of Anna Van Doren, mar
ried Hugh C. Cameron, son of John A. Cameron. By this marriage
Mrs. Van Doren became her daughter's step-daughter-in-law; her son-
in-law's daughter-in-law; her husband's grandmother-in-law.
Daughter — Anna Van Doren, daughter of Mrs. George Van Doren,
married John A. Cameron, father of Hugh C. Cameron. By this mar
riage Anna Van Doren became her mother's step-mother-in-law; her
husband's step-granddaughter; her step-son-in-law's step-daughter-in-
law; her father-in-law's mother-in-law ; her father-in-law's step-mother.
So far the complications have been confined to the first generation.
What, then, are the possibilities when a second generation comes along
to muddle up things still more?
Suppose a boy were to be born to Mrs. John A. Cameron and one to
Mrs. Hugh C. Cameron as well; what relation would these two boys be-
to each other and to the original quartet of oddly connected persons?

TO WAE ON ANCESTORS,

A Brooklyn girl says that she is going to start a new society. She
does not intend doing this because she thinks there is a dearth of'

294 MISCELLANEOUS.
women's societies. But she has discovered an entirely new field, quite
unoccupied by women's societies or any other kind. The name of the
new organization is to be the Parvenu Society, and the badge a mush
room; the motto, "She cometh up as a flower."
The members of this society will be allowed to mention their fathers
and mothers, and may speak occasionally of a grandfather or a grand
mother, but a mention of a great-grandfather or a great-grandmother
will be punished by fines. No ancestors of any degree of nearness may
be described to other members unless said ancestors have been engaged
in manual labor or have been the objects of public charity or public
punishment. Family records, relics, genealogical trees and other indi
cations of family antiquity will be burned at the monthly meetings.
People who have proof of the antiquity of their stock will not be really
acceptable as members, but they will be received on condition that they
use every effort to obliterate the knowledge that they have had ances
tors. The Brooklyn girl is not animated by a spirit of envy. No sour
grapes have set her teeth on edge. She is eligible to the Daughters of
the Revolution, the Daughters of the American Eevolution, the New
England Women, even to the Colonial Dames ! The members of these
various societies cannot imagine, so they say, "why she talks as she
does." And then, again, there are other women who say they can. —

P.OUND OUT THE DOZEN.
Meriden, Conn., Sept. 28. Zerad Pomeroy of Middlefield has taken
another wife. He is 89 and she is 22, and this is Pomeroy's twelfth
matrimonial venture. The new Mrs. Pomeroy is a granddaughter of
her husband's first wife's sister.
Pomeroy in 1838, when twenty years old, married Nellie White of
Hartford. A year later she died, and Pomeroy wedded a Kensington
young woman named Piatt. When the gold fever of 1849 sent many
men to California, Pomeroy and his wife were among twenty Meriden
people who chartered a boat out of New Haven and sailed around the
Horn to the Pacific coast. During the voyage Mrs. Pomeroy died and
was buried at sea. A young woman aboard the vessel attracted Pome
roy's attention, and another marriage soon followed. From California
Pomeroy went to Japan, and there his third wife died.
Eeturning to this country he again married and came east. He settled
in New York city, where sis wives fell to his lot. Four died, one disap
peared, and one he divorced. Eeturning to this State he married again,
and that wife died last spring.

A CASE OF PEOSTRATION.
BY FRANK SAMUEL CHILD.
" He's a very sick man," said Mr. White, who lived next door to the
minister. " Their having a council of doctors now."
" What's the matter with him?" inquired Mr. Black.
" Can't find out," was the reply.
"Some new disease, I suppose," observed Mr. Blue. "Its a great
day for new diseases."
" We'll know when the doctors come out." Mr. Green, the fourth
speaker, looked wise. His family physician had finally been called, and
he knew everything.
There were many anxious people in the parish, for the minister had
been taken with strange symptoms. The first thing which aroused their
¦special attention was the fact that he preached repeatedly upon heredi
ty. The theme seemed to have a fascination for him,and he had evidently
Tead all the late literature on the subject. It was also observed that
in his pastoral visits he talked more and more about people's ancestors.
This was taken as one result of his reading so much on heredity. After
a few months he became deeply interested in family records and bor
rowed everything in that line which proved available. There was a
stack of books and a pile of manuscripts bearing various family names
that almost filled one side of his study.
The postmaster noted the fact that the minister corresponded with
several learned societies, both in England aud America, heraldry and
genealogy being the subjects suggested by the names of these or
ganizations. Another curious thing was remarked at this stage of the
minister's disease. He developed a passion for attending family re
unions. Whenever the newspapers announced that the Stones or the
Joneses, the Brights or the Dwights were to meet and form an associa
tion or celebrate an anniversary, young Mr. Gray (that was the minis
ter's name) was certain to be away. It became obvious that his mind
was running on family connections. He also haunted the Town House.
He would mouse among the old papers in the vaults and pore over the
fine chirography of former town clerks and will-writers with a concen
tration that was positively distracting. The odds and ends of time were
picked up in this way.
These symptoms were followed by more serious and distressing ones.
The minister's clothes became dusty. Not that Mrs. Purple, with
whom he boarded, did not take good care of them (he was an unmar
ried man), but rather that dust seemed naturally to gravitate in his di
rection and settle perversely upon his garments. Some people explained
it by saying that he lived in an atmosphere of dust created by familiar
ity with the dust of ages. It was frequently remarked that " dust thou
art and unto dust thou shalt return " found in him a living illustration.

296 MISCELLANEOUS.
A wrinkled forehead and a proneness to lean foward and bend down
next appeared to indicate the progress of his disease. It was at this
period that his parish became alarmed and discussed measures of relief.
There followed a loss of appetite, especially noted whenever he was
invited out to tea — perhaps three or four times a week. Do what they
might, prepare his favorite dishes, insist upon his eating,still it amount
ed to the same thing — there was simply the ghost of an appetite.
Mrs. Purple soon reported that he spent many sleepless nights. She
heard him walking his study fioor, and on several occasions he had
been known to knock down heavy books at two o'clock in the morning,
doubtless stumbling over them in his mental anguish.
Everybody saw that he was absent-minded, for when Mrs. White met
him one day and said " Good afternoon, Mr. Gray," he replied : " Yes,
her great-grandmother was a Flint, and married John Skinn. All the
Skinn-Flints of Boston are descended from them." Mrs. White burst
into tears and hurried home to tell her husband.
Mr. Gray had lovely blue eyes when he was settled, but they now
turned red, and on several occasions he had been known to put on green.
goggles, apparently thinking that green harmonized with blue and red.
That might be termed the straw which broke the camel's back. "A
man with such taste must be off his base," said one of the young ladies
who attended all the baseball games. Poor Mr. Gray! Mrs. Purple did
all in her power for him, the Whites and the Blacks, the Blues and the
Greens called upon him, drove with him and continued to ask him to
tea. But the breakdown came. He had the most fantastic dreams
imaginable. They were day dreams and night dreams. One could tell
that he dreamed through the day, for he uttered strange names and
muttered strange things, gesticulating mysteriously and appearing to
associate with invisible visitors. When night came Mrs. Purple heard
him converse in his solitary room with great volubility, the words ma
ternal ancestor, paternal ancestor, collateral descent, first remove, sec
ond remove, family tree, generation, broken link and similar phrases-
occurring and recurring with painful iteration, until she thought that
her heart would break. And now they were having a council of doctors.
They called Mrs. Purple and inquired into the good man's habits.
" Well, you see," observed Mrs. Purple, " he was a most methodical
person. He gave his mornings to sermon work and his afternoons to
pastoral work and his nights to answering letters. Why, I've seen as
many as ten letters come to that man in one day, asking something
about somebody's ancestors. Folks wrote to him from Maine to Califor
nia. I think every woman in the United States who wanted to join the
Colonial Dames or the Daughters of the American Revolution, and
every man who wanted to join the Sons of Colonial Wars, or Sons of the
Revolution, or any of the dozen other patriotic societies, wrote and
asked him if he would be so kind as to write out a pedigree for them,.

MISCELLANEOUS, 297
and give names, dates, authorities and incidents. Mr. Gray, you know
is such a conscientious man that he never shirks. So when those letters
came he seemed to tliink that they must all be answered, and that took
him half the night. I said, ' Mr. Gray, you'll kill yourself,' and he said,
' Why, I like it, Mrs. Purple. Its perfectly fascinating.' " (They were
talking in the room adjoining his sick chamber.)
"I have it," shouted a feverish voice. "His great-grandfathers'
second wife was a Herring. The Herrings are all Fishes, on the moth
er's side. Gules a fesse ermine, between three doves argent. Spes alit.
Intermarried with the Lyons and the Hoggs. Here's the tree. Yours
truly"— " That's the way he goes on day and night," whispered Mrs. Purple,
" What do you think is the matter with him?"
" Did you say that he answered all those letters ?" inquired the phy
sician, who had been summoned from the city.
" Every one of them," was the reply.
" And it took him days and days to make out the lines and the trees.
Why, one woman wrote thirty queries and another seventeen, and a
great many of them ten or twelve. How many children were there,
how many times did they marry, where did they live, what families
were they allied with, and hundreds of such questions."
"I pity these pastors of the old New England churches," said the city
doctor. " The disease is contagious, and it spreads by correspondence,"
"The last time Mr. Gray sat down to the table with us," continued
Mrs. Purple, pathetically, " he never asked the blessing, but put down
his head and muttered, ' Williams and Hone, Solomon Stone, the Hillses,
the Millses and Anthony Cone, ten men.' The children were awfully
frightened. What did you say the disease was ?"
" Madam," it was Dr. Brown, the eminent specialist, speaking, " Mr.
Gray has an alarming attack of genealogical prostration. We must get
him into the woods beyond all communication with the outside world,
where he must remain one year and a day. Then by the frequent use
of common sense, given in large doses, he will doubtless be able to
stand up under his work in this ancient parish for at least three years."

HOW YOUR REMOTE ANCESTORS GOT THE NAME YOU BEAR.
Did you ever think that every name must originally have meant some
thing? The letters did not join themselves together in a haphazard way,
and no matter how much the name has been twisted or perverted, it
originally meant something and was intended to be applicable to the
person who first bore it.
In early times amid primitive conditions of civilization people had
only one name, and that name was given because of some circumstance

298 MISCELLANEOUS.
connected with the child's birth, or some physical peculiarity, or in
the hope that the child would grow up to have the qualities the name
denoted. The best example of this is to be found in Bible names in the early
days of Jewish history. Esau, meaning hairy, was so called because he
was hairy from his birth; Moses, drawn out, because he was taken from
the water; Benoni, son of my sorrow; Ruth, beauty, because it was
hoped the child would be beautiful.
In the very early times, therefore, each person possessed a name that
was individauUy significant and appropos. But when with advancing
civilization it became necessary, in order to preserve family and tribal
distinctions, to name children after their progenitors, names originally
applicable lost their appropriateness.
For example, the first girl named Blanche, must have been a blonde;
but how many Blanches we can all recall to-day who are types .of the
perfect brunette.
When the Roman father who first called his son Quintus gave him the
name it must have been because the latter was the " fifth child " and a
boy. Quintus was a very common Roman name, but later was applied
Indiscriminately, whether the boy was the "fifth" or not.
The first Philip was undoubtedly a " lover of horses," or was intend
ed to be such. But how many people to-day give this name to their
boys without a thought as to its meaning, and, worse yet, how many
men bear this name without knowing what it means and without know-
that it means anything at all.
That a man should know nothing of the meaning of his own name
seems ridiculous. Yet this is true of the majority. Of course, in many
cases it is impossible to get at any meaning.
This is essentially true of surnames for often this form has been al
tered or they have come from other languages of which their owners
have no knowledge, or their origin is shrouded in the mists of obscure
antiquity. But the great general truth still holds that every name was
originally significant.
In the case of modern first names, or so-called Christian names, there
are a very few indeed of which we do not know the meaning and the
origin. But what of the vast number of common surnames, like Smith, Jones,
Johnson, Williams, Harris, Brown, the many Macs, the various O's like
O'Brien, and many similar ones? These are all easy enough to explain.
The commonest of all last names is Smith. Why is this the common
est surname? The answer is simple enough. The word smith origin
ally meant a worker in rough materials. There were many different
kinds of smith — goldsmith, tinsmith, silversmith, blacksmith, etc.
Later, when a more developed social condition created a demand for
distinctive names, certain men of this profession took from it the sur
name of Smith.

MISCELLANEOUS. 299
Here is the principle of taking a name from an occupation, one of the
commonest origin of surnames. And as there were so many different
workers, or smiths, most of the different kinds of smith, goldsmith,
silversmith, etc., were merged into the common class of plain smith.
The result of all this is that to-day " although all smiths are not Smiths,
the Smiths are even more numerous than the smiths."
Occupations, as long ago as Greek and Roman times, furnished an
extra name by which to distinguish men. Most Roman gentlemen had
three names, the first generally some common name, corresponding to
our ordinary Christian names; then the clan name, and finally, a third
name generally acquired in later life, indicating a personal peculiarity
or some event in the man's life.
One of the earliest Roman historians was named Quintus Tabius Pic-
tor. The last name he acquired from his occupation of writer or word-
painter. He is, in fact, the first Mr. Painter,
Thousands of our names have this origin. It would be easy to make
a long list, but a few occupation names naturalUy suggest themselves —
Butcher, Carpenter, Driver, Potter, Sailor, Tailor or Taylor, Weaver,
and like names from other languages, such as Zimmerman,
Americans are not as curious about the origin of their names as peo
ple in olden times. The Romans, when they could not get at the ety
mology of a proper name, generally tried to account for it by making
up a story about the man who first bore it. A good example of this is
the name Scaevola, which means " left-handed." " This was the name
of an aristocratic family in Rome, and to account for its origin some
body, probably to flatter the family, made up the following story famil
iar to all who have ever read Roman history. When Porsenna, King of
the Etruscans, was beseiging Rome, a noble youth named C. Mucins,
entered the Eutruscan camp in disguise in order to kill Porsenna. He
was captured, and when led before the king, to show his contempt of
pain and death, he held his right hand in the fire until it was burned
away. In this way he got the name of Scaevola, or the Left-handed,
One of the commonest, as well as one of the oldest kinds of name used
to-day as a surname is the patronymic — that is a new name made up of
the father's first name with prefix or suffix meaning "son," As early
as Bible times there is this addition for the sake of greater deflniteness
in the case of " Joshua, the son of Nun."
The Greeks of the earliest literary period used the same system.
Homer speaks of Achilles Pelides, The last name is the patronymic,
meaning " son of Peleus," but the part meaning " son of " is put at the
end, just like the name Johnson, John's son. The English patronymics
of this kind are innumerable and form one of the largest classes of sur
names to-day.
Their name is legion — Johnson, Robinson, Jackson, Williamson, Rob
ertson, Thompson, for Tom's son, Peterson and many others. These
names are very plain and simple. But there are other patronymic

300 MISCELLANEOUS.
which are not quite so obvious, some of which are shortened forms,
some of which come from other languages. To the first class belong
those names in which the word son is omitted 'altogether. When the
ancient Greeks spoke of " Xenophon the son of Gryllos," the word son
was naturally thought of and supplied after the article the ; just as once
Jack William's naturally meant Jack, William's son; but the word son
being so obvious was often dropped.
This gave rise to a new surname alongside of the older and fuller one.
So there are Roberts and Robertson, Williams and Williamson, Johnson,
and Johns. This last name does not look familiar. But change it to
the oft heard Jones and it becomes plain at once why there are so many
people of that name. John being the commonest Christian name makes
the commonest patronymic, Jones. So Willis and Harris are for Willie's
(son) and Harrie's son, the latter coexisting with Harrison.
There is an enormous number of patronymics that few would suspect
of being such — names like Fitzgerald, McBride, O'Brien and Price.
This list includes practically all the Fitzs, all the Mcs and Macs, all the
O's and many common names beginning with P. Fitz is a Norman word,
a corruption of flls, son, and is used as a prefix. Eoger, fils de Guillaume
became Eoger Fitzwilliam; Robert, fils de Simon, is doubtless the old
fighting Norman ancestor of Bob Fitzsimmons.
Mac and O are prefixes from the Celtic, meaning respectively " son
of" and "descendant of." McGregor means the son of Gregor; Mc
Dowell, the'son of Dowell. So with O'Brien, O'Eourke, O'Toole^ and
all the other O's.
In names like Price, the etymology is somewhat obscured, but the
real origin is very evident to the student. Ap was a Welsh prefix,
meaning "son of " ; but the A was lost and the P joined on to the fol
lowing name. Thus David Ap-Ehys became David Price, that is David
the son of Rhys; Owen ap-Howell became Owen Powell; Evan ap-
Richard became Evan Pritchard, and so on.
Another large class of surnames comes from personal peculiarities,
chiefly the complexion.
It is amusing how many colors are often mustered together in a list
of names, and the practice was very common in ancient times. Niger,
meaning black, was a common surname among the Romans; WiUiam
Rufus, the Red King in English history, is well known. How often in
modern society Mr. Brown is presented to Mrs. White, or Green grasps
the hand of Black, or the English Gray meets his German descended
friends, Schwarz and Both. All these names, with the probable excep
tion of Green, came originally from the complexion or color of the hair.
The name Green, however, is typical of another large class of names
arising from locality, denoting either the man's native country, or city,
or the special kind of place in which he lived. Green is probably like
Hill, Field, Lea or Lee, Wood or Woods, Forest, Tree, Lake, and Elvers.
John Green was doubtless originally John o' the green; and this was

MISCELLANEOUS. 301
shortened to plain John Green. The first James Hill no doubt lived on
or near a hill, and was so called to distinguish him from another James
who lived in a field and was called James of the field, or Jim Field.
Common surnames indicating a man's nationality are English, Irish,
Welsh, French, and many others.
All surnames were originally nicknames of a certain kind, but the
typical nickname as we think of it arose from a sobriquet representing
some personal peculiarity or defect. The ancient Eomans, in spite of
their stern dignity, had their jokes and their nicknames, and the oft-
heard school nicknames of "Eeddy," "Skinny," "Fatty," " Baldy,"
and the like, find their Eoman parallels in Rufus, Macer, Crassus, and
Calvus, respectively, which latter came to be common family names.
This same tendency is seen iu the middle ages in the nicknames
added to certain well-known kmgs, such as Pepin le Bref, Charles the
Bald, and Louis the Child. To-day there are many names like these
which were once applicable, but are no longer so. Among a few that
may be mentioned are Short, Long, Large, Little, Gross, Rich, Poor,
Swift, Lightfoot, and many similar ones.
Finally, a very large number of names come from natural objects of
every-day life, such as animals, birds, fishes, flowers, fruits, etc.
There are four chief sources for these. In the case of animals the
name of the animal was supposed to represent the qualities of the ani
mal; or the name of the natural object was given in allusion to some
episode in the bearer's history, or it was borrowed from the device on
the man's shield, or, last, and this principle is responsible for a vast
number of surnames, it was taken from the sign of the tavern or inn
that its bearer kept. One might start a zoo with the names of animals
taken from any city directory. There could be found the "Lyon"
lying down with the "Lamb," and the "Wolf" consorting with the
"Fox." Martin, Beaver, Seal, Bear, Kid, Hare, and many others roam
at large through the pages of the directory.
Many names from natural objects might be cited; unnecessarily, how
ever, for one such would represent the class. In fact, it may be said
that there is no surname, representing some ordinary natural objecti
that may not once have been used as an inn sign. — Philadelphia Press,

COTTON MATHER'S LETTER.
Mr. Samuel Orcutt received from his daughter in Chicago, Mrs. G. S.
Abbott, the following very curious and interesting old letter, written in
1682 by Rev. Cotton Mather, famous. in Puritan times :— Sept. 16, 1682.
To Ye Aged and Beloved, Mr. John Higginson :
There be now, at sea, a ship, called the Welcome, which has on board
an hundred or more of the heretics and malignants called Quakers,
with W. Penn, who is the chief scamp, at the head of them.

302 MISCELLANEOUS.
The general court has accordingly given secret orders to Master Mal
achi Huscott, of the brig Propasse, to waylay the said Welcome slyly
as near the Cape of Cod as may be, and make captive the said Penn and
his ungodly crew, so that the Lord may be glorified and not mocked on
the soil of this new country with the heathen worship of these people.
Much spoil can be made by selling the whole lot to Barbadoes, where
slaves fetch good prices in rum and sugar, and shall not only do the
Lord great service by punishing the wicked, but we shall make great
good for his ministers and people.
Master Huscott feels hopeful, and I will set down the news when the
ship comes back. Yours in ye bowels of Christ, Cotton Mather.
That the foregoing letter is authentic is apparent from the following
act of the General Court in 1656 : " Whereas there is a cursed sect of
heretics lately risen up in the world, which are commonly called
Quakers, who take upon them to be immediately sent of God, and in
fallibly assisted by the spirit to speak and write blasphemous opinions,
despising government and the order of God in church and common
wealth, speaking evil of dignities, reproaching and reviling magistrates
and ministers, seeking to turn the people from the faith, and gain prosy-
lites to their pernicious ways, » * » the master of any vessel bringing
any known Quakers or other blasphemous heretics into any town or
harbor within the limits of the Colony shall pay a fine of 100£ for each
offence, and the Quakers themselves shall be severely whipped and
sentenced to hard labor in the house of correction." The next year the
laws were amended and made more rigorous. Quakers banished from
the Colony who returned without the consent of the General Court
were liable to be severely whipped, to have their ears cut off, or their
tongues bored with hot irons. In 1661 the law was again made more
stringent, one form of punishment being to strip them naked above the
waist, tie them to the tail of a cart, and whip them from town to town.
It was forbidden to entertain them or assist them in any way.

MARRIAGEABLE AGES.
In Germany the man must be at least 18 years of age.
In Greece the man must have seen at least 14 summers and the
woman 12.
In Portugal a boy of 14 is considered marriageable, and a woman of 12,
In France the man must be 18 and the woman 14; in Belgium, the
same ages.
In Spain the intended husband must have passed his 14th year and
the woman her 12th.
In Austria a " man" and a " woman" are supposed to be capable of
conducting a home of their own from the ages of 14.

MISCELLANEOUS, ,303
In Hungary, for Roman Catholics, the man must be 14 years old and
he woman 12; for Protestants, the man must be 18 and the woman 15,
In Russia and Saxony they are a little more sensible, and a youth
must refrain from entering into matrimony till he can count 18 years,
and the woman till she can count 16.
In Turkey any youth and maiden who can walk properly and can un
derstand the necessary religious service are allowed to be united for
life.

YOUR AGE.

A German statistician has calculated that of every 1000 people 100
reach the age of 75, thirty-eight the age of 85, aud only two reached
95. In the seventeenth century the average duration of life was only
18 years; in the eighteenth, 20; of this century it is 36.

MISCELLANEOUS, LIFE.
[From the Housekeeper,]
Two things there are we have no voice in choosing —
Our ancestors nor our existence here.
Fate's mandates here admit of no refusing
From prince or beggar, sinner, saint, or seer!
Time leads us onward through the world's deep mazes;
No horoscope forecasts our end or way;
The keenest thought within the world that blazes
Cannot elucidate beyond to-day !
We see the footprints of those gone before us;
The heights attained; the ledge where some fell;
Anon we catch heaven's chimes, sweetly sonorous.
Or hear a plaint from sin's own citadel.
Our work goes on. We fancy we can fashion
A structure fair, and beautiful, and grand!
We often fail! God can but have compassion
Upon the heart that owns a feeble hand.
I can but think the rudest life-work given
Has hidden in it one fair, polished stone;
Smooth, perfect, beautiful — as seen from heaven —
Though sunk in chaos, with rank weeds o'ergrown.
Enough 'twould seem, if, with each gift extended.
We add our fraction to earth's highest good;
That we may whisper, when our life's expended.
Though poor my work, I did the best I could!

AN INJUSTICE.

We speak of Time gone past : we do him wrong.
No weary traveller he, with scythe and glass,
And deeply furrowed cheeks and hair grown long —
'Tis we who pass.
Our eyes, not his, are dimmed with many tears.
Our feeble hands grasp joys we cannot hold.
It is not Time, but we, who count the years —
'Tis we grow old.

of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Faeber, 2716 A street, Kensington, when their
daughter. Miss Lydia Faeber, was married to Mr. John Patterson of
this city. The ceremony was performed by Rev. J. F. C. Fluck, of the
Lutheran Church, at Fifth and Cumberland streets, and was witnessed
by a large gathering of relatives, including six generations on the
bride's side. Miss Bertha Faeber, a sister of the bride, was bridesmaid,
and Mr. Walter Frost was best man,

PROLIFIC FAMILY THIS.
There has just died in Cumberland county, Ky., the oldest son of a
family that, so far as any known records are concerned, bears the palm
for fecundity. He was Jason Webb, third child of Miles Webb, the
first settler in the Cumberland district, which is now almost entirely
populated by his offspring.
Old Miles Webb did not do so much toward increasing the popula
tion, having added but six to its number, three boys and three girls.
Jason, who was eighty-one years old when he died, saw no fewer
than four hundred and forty-four direct descendants. He began with
nineteen children. From these sprang one hundred and seventy-five
grandchildren, one hundred and fifty great-grandchildren, and an even
hundred great-great-grandchildren, all living.
Next in the order of number of descendants comes Jason's younger
brother. Miles, who is still living at the age of seventy-eight. Miles is
still as full of vitality, apparently, as any of his descendants, who num
ber more than four hundred. He was father to twenty children, two

306 MISCELLANEOUS,
of whom died in early life. There are one hundred and sixty-five
grandchildren, one hundred and fifty great-grandchildren, and ninety
of the fourth generation, a total of 423 descendants,
"Aunt Polly," the second child of the original patriarch, ranks third
in this remarkable family. From her ten children sprang 110 grand
children, who made Aunt Polly great-grandmother to seventy and
great-great-grandmother to forty — a total of 230 descendants.
These three alone are, therefore, responsible for more than a thousand
inhabitants of Cumberland county.
Another daughter of old Miles, Aunt Sally, has 208 descendants-
There are thirteen of the first generation, eighty of the second, sixty-
five of the third, and fifty of the fourth. Aunt Sally is an active old
lady of seventy-five years.
Aunt Letty, the oldest of the children, who is now hale and hearty
at the ripe age of ninety years, scores the modest total of only 201 de
scendants. She began with eleven children, and there are ninety, sixty
and forty of the succeeding generations respectively.
The least prolific of all is the youngest child, William, but even at
that he can boast of 166 Kentuckians who owe their existence to him.
He has eleven children, seventy-five grandchildren, fifty great-grand
children, and thirty great-great-grandchildren.
By blood and affinity there are in the county of Cumberland and the
country adjacent thereto no fewer than twelve thousand persons in
cluded in this family fold. If this is not a record, there is some other
remarkable family to be heard from.

READY TO MARRY FOR THE FOURTEENTH TIME.
DB. JAMES NICHOLAS VANN, AGED 94 TEARS, PBEPARED TO RESIST THE
INVASION OF AGED SPINSTEES WHO SEEK TO BECOME THE

Dr. James Nicholas Vann of Goshen, N. Y., who is looking for his
fourteenth wife, is so bothered by lonely women who want to marry
him on the spot that he is becoming alarmed. He has issued a ¦warning
that undesirable women must keep away.
Any young, nice looking, plump blonde of sunny disposition may ap
ply, but all old and wrinkled come at their peril.
"A young and lovely woman," says Dr. Vann, who is 94 years of age,
"is the human heart's delight, but the old, designing woman, who in
sists on marrying you whether you are willing or not, is a jackal and a
beast of prey. I shaU greet them as such."
Dr. Vann was a famous hunter at one time, and devoted years to the
capture of wild animals for Dan Rice, the circus man. The doctor
thinks his determined attitude will scare away all the old girls.
" My first twelve wives were fair and lovely women, and are undoubt-

edly now with the angels," said Dr. Vann. "My thirteenth wife was
not, and her name I will not mention. She is living to-day. The names
of the first twelve were Susan Westbrook, her sister, Nancy, and their
aunt, Mrs. Kate Westbrook, all of Milford, Pa. ; Miss Mary E. Petton of
Dingmans; Addle Graham of Williamsburg, Va.; Sarah E. Deerpomp of
Philadelphia; Mary Jane Conkling of Philadelphia; Miss Susie Corwin
of Milford, Pa.; Miss Annie Harding of Philadelphia; Margaret J. Case
of Denver; Miss Ada Minehaldt of Denver; Miss Julia De Wet of Indi
anapolis ; Miss Gertrude Lamont of Indianapolis, and the ' Belle of
Orange County,' the thirteenth."
" Dr. Vann," he was asked, " have you thought of the reunion which
will take place in the joyous hereafter?"
"Yes, indeed," rephed the old man; "if I were to meet all my
deceased wives in any other place I fear the green-eyed monster would
enter their hearts, but as all is happiness over there, I shall depart this
life when the final summons come without trepidation. I know that
each of my deceased wives would rather have me be happy than plod
ding around the world alone. Therefore I intend to marry again, and
I trust my fourteenth wife may be in form and feature a composite
picture of all the rest and the embodiment of their many virtues."

FAMILY NAMES LIKE THINGS.
NAMES IDENTICAL -WITH AND SUBSTANTIALLY LIKE THOSE OF
FAMILIAR ELEMENTS.
New York, Feb. 2. It is curious how many family names are sub
stantially like those of familiar things. Take, for instance, the seasons :
There is Spring, also Winter, and if there is no Summer there is a Sum
mers, and though there be no Fall there is a Falls. Those that follow
the months are January, March and May. As to names like those of
the smaller sub-divisions of calendar time, Day is well known, also
Weeks, while, though there may be no such name as To-morrow, there
is a family named Morrow. As for familiar things in nature, take, for
instance. Dew, Frost, Snow, Cloud, Storm and Gales. Raines and Hale.
To family names like those of minerals it is easy to think of Flint,
Cole, Rock, Stone, Garnett, Diamond, and Jewell; and of metals. Gold,
and Silver and Steele. Ayer aud Waters suggest the element, and Mould
and Clay are not unlike earth. As to things in the heavens, there is
Moon and Starr, and of the compass. West, as well as North.
There is a considerable number of family names like those of colors,
as White, Black, Green, Blue, Purple, Violet, Scarlett, Brown and Gray.
Like names of various members or features of the body are Hand,
Armes, Legg, Foote, Bone, Chinn, Haire, Beard, and there is also a
family name, Mann. Like those of names borne by animals are : Bull,
Bullock, Lamb, Kidd, Colt, Badger, Hogg, Hare, and Wolf. There are

308 MISCELLANEOUS.
many family names that are exactly like or similar to things in plant
life, or their productions, as, for example, the name Plant, Rose, and
Flower, Budd, Rice, Wheat, Gates, Cotton, Berry, Bean, Plum, and
Cherry ; and Oakes, Ashe, Pine, and Maple. A familiar family name is
that of Root, and others are Branch, Stem, and Twiggs.
Bird, Wing, Herron and Wrenn suggest themselves, also Crane, Crow,
and Larke. Fish is a family name, and others that might be mentioned
here are Haddock, Pike, Roach, Bass and Crabb. Family names sug
gestive of titles of rank are King, Queen, Prince, Duke, Marquis, Lord,
Baron, and Knight, besides Pope and Deacon. Next take military
titles, Marshall, Major and Sergeant; and peoples, English, French,
Welsh, Norman, and Dutch; while among family names, like those of
countries, there are England, Ireland, France, and Wales. The ones
that resemble buildings are : Church, Temple, Abbey, and Tower.
Another family name is House; another is Mills; and the name of
Barnes is familiar. There is a family named Shedd; and others are
Post, Wall, Roome, Roof, Rafter, Frame, Sills and Hall, with Locke,
Boldt, if not Bolt; and Key; also Yard is familiar, and so is Garden,
Gates, and Pickett. Names like those of traveled ways are Street,
Lane, Alley, Way, Rhodes.
Young is a family name, and so also is Olds, Long, Short, Sharp,
Blunt, Dull, Strong, Straight, Small, Stout, Little, Rich, and Poor;
Bliss and Paine, and Hurry and Waite.
There are many family names like implements or of household or
other articles of use, as Sickles, Mallet, Scales, and Lampe, Wickes,
Couch, Broome, Needles and Shears, and Bell, Button, and Buckle. Of
names like those of articles of apparel there are Coates, Vest, Cuff; and
like distances are Furlong and Miles.
Pertaining to military things are names many, as Camp, French,
Drum, Fife, Horn, Swords, Spears, Cannon, Gunn, Flagg, and Banner;
also like those of natural features, as Lake, Forrest, Pond, Field, Marsh,
Glen, Dale, Pool, Brooks, Rivers, Banks, Meadows, Cliff, Ridge.
Many of the names here enumerated are those of men famous in
history; many of them are borne by men contemporaneously widely
known. They were not hunted up, but set down as they occurred to
me. I don't doubt that many more could easily be recalled by anybody
who should give his mind to it,— Bichard Timbler.

THE PURITANS COULD DRINK,
Our Puritan ancestors hardly imagined that water was either a
healthful or a sufficient beverage, if we may judge from some para
graphs in their letters and diaries. Governor Bradford bitterly com
plains of the hardship of having to drink water, as no beer or wine was
to be had. In 1629 an appeal was sent to the home company for " min-

MISCELLANEOUS. 309
isters," a " patent under seale " that their legal status as colonists
might be clear and stable, and also they want " vyne planters, wheat,
rye, barley, and also hop rootes." When the answer to this appeal
was sent by a ship that was provisioned for three months, it carried
" forty-five tuns of beere," " two casks of Malega and Canarie," "twen
ty gallons of aqua vitae (brandy), and for cooking, drinking and all only
six tuns of water." The Rev. Mr. Higginson, the first minister, in
writing back a glowing account of the attractions of the country, said
his health had been benefited by the fine air, and he added :
" Whereas my stomach could only digest and did require such drinks
as were both strong and stale, now I can and doe oftentimes drinke New
England water verie well."
One, Wood, wrote in " The New England's Prospect " that the country
was well watered, and with a water unlike that to be found in England.
" Not so sharpe, of a fatty substance, and of more jetty color. It is
thought that there can be no better water in the world, yet dare I not
prefer it to good beere, as some have done. Those that drink it be as
healthful, fresh and lustie as they that drink beere."
Those hop roots must have flourished, for as early as 1631 the peoiile
of the colony had passed a law for putting drunkards in the stocks, and
brew-houses multiplied, and an " ale quart of beere " could be bought
for a penny. The manufacture of other drinks developed rapidly. Fifty
years after Judge Sewall names ale, beer, mead, metheglin, cider, wine,
sillabub, claret, sack, canary, punch, sack-posset and black cherry
brandy. Everybody drank cider, which was produced on every farm in
abundance. Besides these, there was a "beveridge" and "swizzle"
made from molasses and water, and many kinds of beer; but the grand
and universal drink was rum. Ships took corn, pork and lumber to the
West Indies, and brought back raw sugar and molasses, which once
here were speedily converted into rum. There was a distillery in every
inland town, while those on the coast had scores of them. The signifi
cant name " kill-divil " was universally given to it, and it was shipped
to the African coast in exchange for slaves. "Flip" and "punch"
were made and drunk ou all imaginable occasions. Laborers would not
work at the harvest, nor builders at the trades, without an allowance
of rum.
Large quantities of liquor were consumed when a minister was to be
ordained, as is witnessed in many of the parish records still extant.
The following record is that of the town of Beverly, Mass., at the ordi
nation in 1785 :
Thirty bowles of punch before they went to meeting.
Eighty people eating in the morning, at 16d.,
Ten bottles of wine before they went to meeting,
Sixty-eight dinners, at 30d., 
Forty-four bowles of punch while at dinner.

Even at the raising of a meeting house large stores of intoxicants
must be laid in. When the meeting house of Medfield, Mass., was
raised there were provided four barrels beer, twenty-four gallons West
India rum, thirty gallons New England rum, thirty-five pounds of loaf
sugar, twenty-five pounds of brown sugar, and 435 lemons. When, a
century ago. General Washington was engaging a gardener, it was ex
plicitly stated in the contract that he should have •$ 4 at Christmas, with
which he may be drunk for four days and four night; 12 at Easter, for
the same purpose; $2 at Whitsuntide, to be drunk for two days; a dram
in the morning, and a drink of grog at dinner at noon.
Every tavern displayed many decanters of liquor to be drunk with all
m^eals, free, and the fiipiron was kept constantly heated in the tavern
fire ; the sideboard of every private family had a various assortment of
liquors, and not to ask a caller to drink was a breach of hospitality; in
short, temperance sentiment as we now know it did not exist. — New

Lacrosse, Wis., Jan. 26, 1903. Assemblyman Saereuv of Oshkosh
has introduced in the lower house two remarkable bills. Both are to
encourage the development of the population by paying annual premi
ums to the mothers of large families as follows :
Mothers having 6 children, $10; 7 children, -$12; 8, 115; 9, $20; 10, $25;
11, $30, and 12, .135.
The other bill is to encourage matrimony, and is said to have been
drafted by the woman's club of Oshkosh. It provides that the assessors
of towns shall take a list of the unmarried men of 30 years of age, or
over and fix a special tax of $10 a year on them.

Sixty-two years ago a man named Jones moved from Kentucky to
Dade county. Mo., taking with him a family of ten children. At a re

not hold against that family.

ODD SURNAMES.

WHERE FAMILY NAMES CAME FROM WHEN CHRISTIAN NAMES WERE
NOT NUMEROUS ENOUGH TO DISTINGUISH NEWCOMERS.
Did you ever consider the straits to which the world seems to have
been subjected to find surnames for its millions of human being? That
for centuries a single word served to distinguish one individual from
another is a marvel. Apparently the first effort at a closer line of dis
crimination was founded on a man's being the son of his father; after
ward on tribal relations. When these proved insufficient, personal
peculiarities were laid under tribute, and many as undesirable cogno
men was thus conferred, as history amply exemplified. In our day of
double, triple, quadruple and even sextriple names of persons, it would
seem that all ordinary adjectives to describe individuals have been ex
hausted, as also verbs and adverbs to indicate their acts, so that every
conceivable object in nature, however inappropriate, has had to do
duty in identifying the families of the earth.

AZUBA, PERUDA AND PEREZ.
There has been sent to the writer a very funny little book. It is »
genealogy grown brown with age, for the youngest child whose birth is
recorded in it lived long enough ago to be a grandfather, at least, of the
descendant who looks at the book to-day. The volume, long out of print,
is certainly worth its weight in gold; and it is the crudest sort of family
record, merely a list of names and residences, with the birth year gen
erally given and the death year frequently. To the writer, as to the
general public, its chief interest lay in the quaint old names. It has
seemed to him that, even with some familiarity with genealogical rec
ords, he has not elsewhere seen such pronounced and concentrated
eccentricity of nomenclature. Let us run over some of the names
which were fastened to the poor little babies of long ago, selecting
them here and there at random, and only premising that the record is
that of a family which lived almost wholly in Vermont.
For the first four generations, there are no names of special peculiar-

MISCELLANEOUS. 315
ity. Of the twenty or over, all but three or four are from the Bible,
and are too familiar even today to look strange. Then appear, as
Christian names Persis and Diantha. Alba and Oel shortly follow, and
the plot thickens with their namesakes and an Aramenta, several Se-
manthas, and an Oramel. Liefe and Junio now are born, and middle
names become noticeable with Rhoda Ann and Delia Artemetia. One
reads with wealth of romantic suggestion, of three sisters — Almira,
Amanda and Aminda ; and young Socrates Hopkins fell in love with and
married Emeline, who was neither stove polish, nor to his mind bitters.
Persis Diantha Robinson was born as lately as the year of the second
war with Britain. Ornon TuUer, who was born as the first war closed,
had among his children Ornon, Jr., Billison, Perses, Melancton and
Florilla. Uel and Tryphosa may have known one another, though
apart iu ages; and Zebina could not somehow, have been a girl, for he
married Lucy, Maria Henry is another Christian name of confusing
sex, and a brother Charles indicates that there was no accidental drop
of a letter to form Chales.
Fays appear in number among the Vermont mountains, and then
comes Sparrow as a Christian name. The Sparrows characteristically
multiplied. Further on, one asks himself how a generation that had
two Eldads and could love an Eester, came to name a child, frivolously,
Juliett. In hasty skimming, one reads Keyes P. Cool as "Keep Cool,"
and wonders if the boys did not sometimes call him that. Lovisa
appears, and then Phina Anna, who was a Vermont Dewey, and pre
sumedly a granddame of our admiral. Vanderspiegel and Skank, as
middle names, suggest that emmigration from the continent had begun;
but Orsamus and Julia Ann, together, take us back to the good old
stock again. Loan, as a Christian name, raises various interesting
theories in explanation. Ammi married Amy, and Ruel found a girl
to marry him in spite of his name — but he was fortunate in loving be
fore " woman's emancipation."
Of Hopher Pagael Cady no more than the name is given. That says
much, but his cousins, Clarissa, Darius and Lafayette Claudius, could
hardly have thrown stones. Almeron and Oella each bore their names
for nineteen years, and a descendant who was named Oella had Azuba
for a sister. Sereno Montague which is fine, had a brother Junius Lo
renzo Montague, which is more impressive yet. Anna Cordelia, Orrin
and One belonged to a single family, Almeron, Gamalliel, ApoUos,
Theron and Melatiah were names to revere at first hearing. Resolva
Gage and Bulah Scott were married, to the credit of the former's Chris
tian name; and Boltwood, son of;Abner,married Candace, which takes us
to the A B C of family history. Rudd, Submit and Paesly must have had
need of patience. Ozem had a child, Anor; while Havillah and his
grandson, Orvis, represent the talent of another branch for cruelty to
children. Eleazer and another Azuba were fond brother and sister, and
each had namesakes. Sabrina and Eleazor, Pamela, Heman and Perez

316 MISCELLANEOUS.
and Pilo; how they must have envied plain John or Mary! Ruhama,
among the northern hills, is like a breath of the Orient, and one feels
strange until Susan Mariah appears again. Annesse isn't anise seed-
one must take care not to read to fast ; and Minerva and Vesta Aurelia
show that the souls of the parents are soaring high. But we cannot go
on and quote the book. Let us close with Hepzibeh, Celestia, Emeline,
Peruda, Isbel, Liureudus, Arta, Seraph and the twins, Lucinda and Sa-
linda. If there were room for another it should be Ledymira or fair
Loraine. More of these names than one would guess, have come from the Bible,
more, it is clear, than the historian guessed, for the spelling is often at
variance with Holy Writ. But perhaps the historian followed the spell
ing of the Vermonters themselves, which would have been a, proper
course, and if they went astray who shall blame them? It almost seems
as though there might have been, in the quiet life amid the hills of Ver
mont a hundred years ago, a pride and joyful competition in the choice
of the names of infants. To select a name which had not been used in
that region before, to have it prove perplexing to pronounce and impos
sible to spell, and all the time to have had it come from the Bible itself,
but so obscurely that the pious relatives and neighbors would have
need to thumb long the pages of the Holy Book before they found it —
for biblical indexes were not common then — what a triumph tbat
must have been for happy parents ; what a prestige it must have given
to them, as being diligent students well versed in Bible literature. It
was a wicked little victory over those to whom we all love best to give
a tumble, and it was clothed in such a sanctimonious air as to remove it
utterly from danger of reproof. Perhaps, as the children grew older
aud little by little came to understand the game, the thought of the
triumph they had brought to their parents was a compensation for the
names they had to bear. Let us trnst that this was so, for where else
should they find it? The meaning was often as pitiful as the name it
self, or else possessed no pertinence that could bring with it consola
tion. Azurba, for instance, is "forsaken," "Peruda" is a "Persian
woman'' and Perez is a "breach."

PLENTY OF BACHELORS.
UNCLE SAM'S figures SHOW THAT OLD MAIDS NEED NOT DESPAIR.
Heretofore bachelors have been considered choosers of their fate; old
maids its victims.
But the latest statistics reveal the astonishing fact that there are
576,633 unmarried men in New York and only 456,062 unmarried women.
To be strictly accurate, there is a man and a fraction of a man for
every single woman in this city, and there need not be any spinsters if,
well, if these bachelors will ask them the all important question, and if

MISCELLANEOUS, 317
they will auswer yes. Leap year will do away with the first if, but leap
year, owing to circumstances that won't happen again until 1904.
Cupid likes to practice on the tender hearts of the young. He shies
but few arrows at well-seasoned hearts. Between the ages of seventeen
and twenty-four 75 per cent of women marry.
Between the ages of twenty and twenty-five there are forty-one un
married men to every twenty-seven unmarried women. That is the time
when a woman may have her pick, but it doesn't last. Between ages
of twenty-five and thirty there are only twenty-three available men for
every twelve women.
Between the ages of thirty and thirty-five the list of bachelors who
might sue for her hand is only thirteen to every seven women, which
leaves one girl to pine alone.
Then when she gets to be between thirty-five and forty-five, her pos
sible suitors are getting very scarce. There are only nine men to every
five women.
After forty-five it is a case of nip and tuck, as things are then about
equal. There may still be a poor lorn bachelor ready to lay his heart
at the feet of the woman who nears her fiftieth milestone, but he is hard
to find, and no statistics will vouch for his existence.
If there is not enough eligibles here to suit the New York girl's fas
tidious taste, and she wants more to pick from, she can go to Idaho or
Wyoming. In those States there are ten bachelors to every maid, while
Arizona and Washington have almost as many poor creatures of circum
stance, who couldn't get married if they wanted to.
Old maids were once looked upon as a necessary evil. The fault was
laid at the door of an unkind Providence that did not dispense men and
women with equal liberality.
But now Uncle Sam has proved that there are men enough, and that
if there are old maids in this land of the free they are old maids just
because they want to be.
In these statistics divorced people, widows and widowers and all
young people of both sexes under seventeen are left out. In New York,
where the bachelors out-number the girls by 26 per cent., every girl
should have a sweetheart.
From these tables it is plain that the prevailing impression about
widows is also true. They are dangerous rivals for any girl, for one in
every nine widows between the ages of twenty and thirty-five remarries,
and the Government annals show that widows between twenty and
twenty-four remarry much oftener than spinsters of any age.

The latter part of May is the exact date traditionally assigned as that
on which the pioneers landed with families and household goods, hav
ing come from Ipswich, where they had wintered, by way of what is
now known as Ipswich river and Plum Island sound, to the green pas
tures on the banks of the river Parker, or Quascacunquen, as the
Indians called it.
To mark the approximate site of that landing in a fitting manner is
now the task of the Newbury Historical Society, the initiative having
been taken and the way cleared by a lady deeply interested in the mat
ter, Mrs. E. L. Withington, who, by personal appeals and letters sent
to various descendants of these settlers throughout the country, has
been successful in raising the substantial nucleus of a fund.
The undertaking has so far progressed that the design for the monu
ment has been suggested and submitted by George P. Tilton of this
city, a gentleman of marked artistic tastes and experience, whose de
signs and castings in bronze, which he has recently undertaken as an
avocation, are beginning to command attention and favorable criticism.
It was largely under his direction that a monument was set up a few
years ago in the same vicinity marking the camp from which Arnold
and his army passed to the vessels in Newburyport harbor, on their
famous expedition to Quebec.
This monument consists of a large bowlder, to which is attached a
bronze tablet with inscription. The design under consideration for the
proposed monument also calls for a monolith some six feet high, but
fashioned and finished, to bear on its sides tablets on which the names
of the first settlers are to be inscribed.
This simply was the original conceit, but as it became apparent that
a larger sum of money than was at first looked for will be available, it
is hoped to make the memorial more attractive and striking by sur
mounting it with a design of a ship of the Mayflower or nth century
pattern, done in bronze.
The monument as thus sketched will be a noteworthy addition to the
many which have been set up in the territory of the old town within
the past twenty years, the first of which was Ward's famed bronze of
Washington, the last, Mrs. Kitson's beautiful design of "The Volun
teers " for a memorial of the soldiers and sailors.

COATS OF ARMS USED BY UNTITLED AMERICANS.
HKRALDEY IS NOW A STUDY. — SOME OF THE CEESTS USED BY MEMBERS
OF THE NEW YORK SOCIETY, WITH THEIR MOTTOES. — ORIGIN OF THE
MEDIAEVAL CUSTOM.
Americans now use coats of arms more generally than ever before.
Members of old families, wishing to join the colonial societies, have

MISCELLANEOUS. 319
revived the arms that were used by their ancestors. But there is
no law against any one adopting any crest and motto that suits the
fancy, and your stationer will find you a king at arms whenever you
need his services, BY JOHN GILMER SPEED.
Coats of arms and kindred heraldic symbols are used in the United
States now to a greater extent than ever before. The stationers and
engravers of New York bear testimony to the fact that nowadays they
are asked much more frequently than ten years ago to make designs for
crests for note paper and to manufacture book plates with arms indi
cating noble lineage emblazoned in gay colors for the simple democrats
who people this land and proudly boast that liberty and equality are
the best heritage of a free people.
This boom in crests and coats of arms, singularly enough, has arisen
through what was meant to be patriotism. A few years ago half a
dozen societies — colonial, Revolutionary, and military — were started in
this country. They were called " Sons of the Revolution," " Daughters
of the Revolution," " Colonial Dames," and so on. Membership was
limited to those who could trace their ancestry to fathers or mothers
who had something to do with our war for liberty, or who lived in the
country previous to the Revolution.
An applicant for membership in any of these so-called patriotic soci
eties is required to file with his or her application a true genealogical
record reaching back at least to the time when one ancestor or another
was a soldier in the Continental army.
GENEALOGICAL RESEARCHES.
Naturally enough, such a requirement has greatly stimulated the
study of family records, and such studies have brought to light the
coats of arms, the high sounding mottoes, and the aristocratic crests
now so generally used on the note paper of the gentle dames who con
trol and make delightful the best society of the country. To be sure,
the use of crests in America is not new; the notable fact just now is
that they should be so generally used.
In the earlier days of the colonies there were a good many persons of
gentle birth who came to the New World in search of freedom and in
the hope of fortune. Among the Puritans who fled from the persecu
tions in England and the Huguenots who left France in dread of Roman
Catholic intolerance, there were many families of gentle birth, if not of
high nobility. And the large land-owners who settled in Maryland and
Virginia were as a rule gentlefolk.
All of these, or nearly all of them, after the mediaeval custom then
almost in as full force as at any time in the two preceding centuries,
bore arms and used heraldic devices of various sorts. These are the

320 MISCELLANEOUS.
coats of arms that are now being revived by their descendants, of the
various societies of which mention has been made.
Later in the history of the United States the persons who came here
to settle were of different quality, ranging from middle-class English,
Irish and Scotch, to the peasants of Germany. From such as these the
great mass of Americans are descended. If any of them were entitled
in the days of chivalry to use arms it is most likely that they did not
know it. Indeed, the great mass of Americans cannot trace their line
age beyond the arrival in this country of the ancestors who begat them.
This fact, however, does not prevent them, when they have become
wealthy and proud of their wealth, from securing, through one agency
or another, coats of arms with royal or ducal quarterings, according to
their fancy.
Cussan, in his "Handbook of Heraldry," in speaking of the fonduess
for coats of arms in America, says :
" There are probably more assumptive arms borne in America than
anywhere else. Nor are the bearers of such arms to be so much
blamed as the unscrupulous self-styled heralds who supplv them. The
advertising London tradesmen who profess to find arms are, for the
most part, less anxious to give themselves the trouble of examining the
requisite documents — even if they possess the necessary ability to do so,
which many certainly do not — than they are of securing the fee. If,
therefore, they cannot readily find in the printed pages of Burke, they
do not hesitate to draw from the depth of their inner consciousness, as
Carlyle expresses it.
Many American gentlemen, consequently, engrave their plates and
adorn the panels of their carriages with heraldic insignia to which they
have no right whatever; and this, too, though they may have an honor
ary claim to arms as ancient and honorable as those of a Talbot or a
Hastings. Nor have native professors of the science been behindhand
in distributing their worthless favors. The names of Thomas Johnson,
John Coles, and Nathaniel Hurd (Boston heraldie painters of the
eighteenth century), are notorious in New England as those of manu
facturers of fictitious arms and pedigrees."
AMEEICAN COLLEGE OF HEBALDEY.
These worthies, of whom Cussans speaks with such contempt, have
their successors, and they not only thrive in Boston, but in Philadel
phia, Washington, and in New York. The most notable of these her
aldic inventors was the late Albert Welles, who for many years, and
until his death in 1881, mahitained in the Society Library Building in
University place what he called the American College of Heraldry. Mr.
Welles, for a modest consideration, would construct a genealogy which
ran back into the remotest antiquity.

MISCELLANEOUS. 321
It made no difference in the price, and was merely a matter of taste
on the part of the purchaser, whether he should trace the lineage to the
beautiful and frail Helen of Troy or to the bold Achilles, for Mr. Welles
Could do either trick with equal ease. If the proud founder of a new-
old family was not classic in his taste, Mr. Welles could just as easily
find a more modern forbear, and William the Conqueror, Gustavus
Adolphus, Harry Hotspur or Owen Glendower were often called into
requisition. For pious folk he could do even more wonderful things
and find a paternal starting place in the cardinal's palace and the ma
ternal beginning in a nunnery. He was an ingenious man, this Mr.
Welles, as the handsome books he left amply attest.
But in 1881 he died, and as he was the faculty of the college, king of
arms and, indeed, the college itself, this great institution with his de
cease went out of existence. This was a great pity, for never before or
since had we in this country an antiquarian with so industrious an imag
ination. There are others, however, still in the business, and any man
or woman who desires to display this convincing evidence of noble de
scent and who at the same time has the modest price can find exactly
the right person to do what is needed.
NOBLE ENGLISH NAMES.
There are many noble English names that are quite common in this
country, and many of the bearers of them do not scruple to use the
arms of those English families, though it is as a rule certain that none
of them have any evidence that entitles them to such usage. In any
directory, whether of New York or another American city, we find
Derbys, Buckinghams, Spencers, Talbots, Hastingses, Hamiltons and
Greys, but few if any of these people seriously believe that they come
from the same stock as those who now bear the titles belonging to those
names in England.
Many of them, however, use the coats of arms on their carriages and
the crests and mottoes on their note paper. One thing can be said,
however, to the credit of Americans — they never use crests on their visit
ing cards. Spaniards and some other Latins do this, but no Americans
on the hither side of the equator was ever known to do it.
HEEALDIC QUARTERINGS.
So that all our readers may fully understand the technical terms used
in describing crests, it is well for them to know that "gules" means
red, " azure " means blue, "vert " means green, " purpure " means pur
ple, " or " means gold and so on. A coat of arms is in the form of a
shield and this shield is divided into nine squares, as foUows :—

Mr. De Vermont, who published a book some ten years ago called
*' Heraldica Americana," gathered all the American coats of arms of
families established in the country previous to 1800. He seemed to
think that no persons of authentic nobility came to the United States
after that. Indeed, his genealogical studies appear to have made him
at times cynical, and he scoffs at some of our most cherished traditions
with what might be called rude recklessness. For instance, he almost
says outrightly that the Rev. Samuel Peters, in his life of Hugh Peters^
says things unworthy of a historian, and most of all is Mr. De Vermont
offended that the Rev. Peters should affirm without convincing proof
that during the iron rule of Cromwell many scions of noble families
settled in America and established families.
SCIONS OF NOBLE LINE.
Mr. Peters says among such were :—
Thomas Seymour, of the ducal house of Somerset.
Three brothers of Lord Hanley, Earl of Derby.
William Russell, of the ducal house of Bedford.
A Pierrepont, legal heir to the now extinct duchy of Kingston.
A Montague, a younger scion of the Earl of Sandwich.
A Graham, of the ducal house of Montrose.
A Clinton, a scion of the Earls of Lincoln.
Whatever Mr. Peters' authority may have been, it is quite certain
that the American Pierreponts have always used the Kingston arms, aud
the American Clintons those of the Earls of Lincoln.
The various States have coats of arms and many of them are fearful
to behold. Examined from an heraldic standpoint, they are most won
derfully constructed and indicate that they are of home and homely
manufacture. My own gallant State has a coat of arras more appropri
ate for the sign of a country tailor than for the seal of a commonwealth
which was known in frontier days as the " dark and bloody ground,"
and which still is — but I had better not say anything about that.
ORIGIN OF HERALDRY.
Heraldry, as such, is of mediaeval origin and was introduced into
England from Germany through France. It was necessary in the days

MISCELLANEOUS. 323
when all men were soldiers and all the world at -war for men to know
one another at sight. As mail was used and the faces of men concealed,
it was well to have on the shield some device which indicated the indi-
viduality of the warrior. Otherwise men could not know friends from
foes. It was in this way that coats of arms became in general use in the
eleventh century. Noblemen invented their coats of arms, and their
descendants changed them with much freedom, placing on their shields
symbols indicating marriage into another family or celebrating some
achievement in statecraft or in war. In time this matter of arms be
came so serious that in England a college of heraldry was established,
and it was a serious matter for any one to use arms to which he was not
entitled. In the fourteenth century this matter was considered of the
greatest importance, and one of the notable English law cases relates
to the dispute in 1384 between Sir Richard Scrope of Bolton, and Sir
Robert Grosvenor, for the right to bear the arms " azure, a bend or."
The greatest men in England, including John of Gaunt, gave testi
mony that one or another had used the coat of arms beyond the mem
ory of man. Scrope won and Grosvenor was directed to use other arms.
It is interesting to note that according to Burke, both of these families
have continued in the male line till now, aud the arms then decided
upon are still used. A NOTABLE USB.
A little later than this, when John de Hastings, Earle of Pembroke,
died childless, there arose a dispute for his heirship between Reginald
Grey, his heir general, and Edward Hastings, the heir male and of the
name,but of the half blood. A military court tried the case, and Grey
won. Meantime Hastings had assumed the arms unbroken. He was direct
ed to label them, and declining, he was put in prison for contumacy,
and stayed there for sixteen years.
The last trial in the Earl Marshal's Court, as to the right to use arms,
was heard in 1720, in the case of Blount vs. Blount. Since then people
have been content to settle such matters in the court of public opinion.
In England the critical journals, notably the Saturday Review, are very
apt to question the use of any coat of arms used by a conspicuous per
son without the clearest authority. When such a person is detected he
is held up to a very painful ridicule.
In Notes and Queries, also, there are frequent discussions as to the
validity of coats of arms of suspicious origin. When the antiquarians
who contribute to that entertaining periodical tackle the history of a
family all the details, even beyond the memory of man, are likely to be
disclosed. As a general thing it may be said that in England the high
er the rank of a family the less is the pretence of its members. I have
met a royal prince who wasa cad, but never an English Duke.

324 MISCELLANEOUS.
VARIATIONS IN AEMS.
In this country many of the familly coats of arms are perverted and
quite different from those it was intended that they should represent.
For instance, I recently had to examine a family record, and I found
that in a hundred and fifty years some six variants of a Scotch coat of
arms had been used, these variants being based on a coat of arms,
brought here in 1720, and itself a variant of the genuine coat on record
in Scotland.
Because our great-grandfathers used coats of arms there is no surety
that those particular devices were accurate. There is a presumption,
however, that they were meant to be accurate ; indeed, in heraldry there
is not even at its best much more than presumption. Certainly there
is no certainty.
There can surely be no more harm in the use of coats of arms than in
family pride. When the impulse is born of pure snobbishness it is vul
gar and ridiculous, and deserves to be treated as Saxe treated it is his
poem, " The Proud Miss MacBride ": —
Depend upon it, my snobbish friend.
Your family tread you can't ascend
Without good reason to apprehend
You may find it waxed at the farther end
By some plebeian vocation;
Or worse than that, your boasted Line
May end in a loop of stronger twine
That plagued some worthy relation!

TO PROVE A PEDIGREE THE FAD OF THE HOUR.
Pedigree hunting is the fad of the hour. The great question seems to
be, " Who were my ancestors?" I have it from the very highest au
thority — from a man who knows more about the lines of descent of
prominent American families than probably any other person in the
United States. I refer to Mr. Charles H. Browning, who has devoted
his entire life to the study of genealogy and heraldry, and whose most
recent achievements are embodied in the Order of Runnemede and the
Order of the Crown. He is the organizer of the first and the only male
member of the second.
Mr. Browning occupies a sphere which is unique. He is not a pro
fessional " pedigree hunter " in the sense that hundreds of men and wo
men are who make a very comfortable living by catering to the vanities
of those Americans who imagine themselves better than their neighbors
and want to prove it. That is a profession in itself. Mr. Browning
does not have to hunt for pedigrees. He is a walking encyclopaedia of
genealogy. He is an expert. His services are called upon in organizing

MISCELLANEOUS. 325
various genealogical societies. His advice is courted in matters per
taining to such things. He knows all about everybody and everybody's
family away back as far as they can be traced. That's why the ladies
who organized the Order of the Crown honored him with a member
ship in their society. He is the only man ever elected to membership
in that exclusive body or who ever will be. He is sui generis.
AN AUTHORITY ON PBDIGEEB.S.
Mr. Browning is a native of Cincinnati, Ohio, and is the son of a
deceased United States navy officer. He was educated at Kenyon Col
lege, and entered upon newspaper and literary work. Long before the
prevalent fad for pedigrees and pedigree orders appeared, Mr. Brown
ing developed a taste for genealogical work by investigations into his
own lineage. From experience thus derived he saw the necessity for
and evolved a perfect system for the verification of pedigrees already
compiled and for the gro^wth of the family tree.
Although the Order of the Crown has not yet been fully organized,
at least fifty designs have been submitted for insignia, which shows, in
a measure, to what extent the fad has grown. The idea originated with
Miss Farnsworth, of Detroit, who immediately communicated with Mr.
Browning for advice. That gentleman naturally advocated the move
ment. As a result, the order is on the high road to success, is as yet
without a rival, and Mr. Browning has been commissioned to compile
the Year Book. That means — well, it means a nice little lump sum,
anyhow. Mr. Browning lives at Ardmore, Pa., just a short ride from that hot
bed of pedigrees, Philadelphia. For several years he edited tho
" American Historical Register," which was the organ of the American
Heredity Society, and he is also the author of that thrilling work,
"Americans of Royal Descent."
I found Mr. Browning, when I called on him one day last week, to be
a most affable gentleman, who seemed to regard his work with strange
ly mingled enthusiasm and irony. He impressed upon me the fact tbat
while the impression might prevail that these societies were all froth,
they could not be regarded as such purely from the standpoint of estab
lishing authentic degrees. DR. DEPBW A " COLLATBRAL."
"In some," he said, "they accept what are known as collateral mem
bers. That is to say, a member of the Sons of the American Revolution
may not necessarily be descended directly from a Revolutionary sol
dier. His great-grandfather may not have fought in the Revolution,
but if his great-grandfather's brother did he is eligible as a collateral
member. That is the case with Chauncey M. Depew, who is president
of the society in New York."

326 MISCELLANEOUS.
" What is the origin of these societies?" I asked.
" The Society of the Cincinnati was the first," replied Mr. Browning.
' ' It was organized by Frederick William Von Steuben at the close of
the Revolution, and was originally known as the Order of the Cincin
nati. It died out, and when reorganized many years later it was
changed from an ' order ' to a ' society,' as being more typically Amer
ican. Then followed the Society of 1812, the Society of the Colonial
Wars, Sons of the Revolution, Daughters of the Revolution, Colonial
Dames, Mayflower Society, Founders and Patriots, Daughters of Cincin
nati, the Aztec Club (composed of officers who served in the Mexican
war), the Society of Foreign Wars, Daughters of the Confederacy,
Order of Washington, Colonial Society of Massachusetts, Descendants
of the Pioneers of America, Sons of Veterans, United States Navy Vet
eran Association, and — that's about all I can think of at present."
A MERE INCIDENT.
"You must have many experiences in your work which are amusing,"
I ventured. " Yes, indeed," replied Mr. Browning. " Take the women who claim
to be lineal descendants of Benjamin Franklin. The fact that Franklin
was never married doesn't seem to worry them in the least. They
don't seem to mind a little thing like a marriage ceremony where their
ancestors are concerned.
As a matter of fact, the sole idea of many persons seems to be to avail
themselves of every opportunity to found a society to get a badge of
some sort or other. To be alliterative, like the preacher of ' rum, Ro
manism and rebellion ' fame, I should characterize the prevailing ten
dency as a case of badges, buttons and banquets. To put up a monu
ment, to erect an historic building, to look pretty on parade, to get
one's name in the paper, those are the things to strive for, and then
comes happiness. One chap thinks he's a huckleberry better than
another chap, and there is also great happiness in that, you know."
I asked, in my guileless innocence, what object a person could have
in joining these societies.
" The object seems to be," explained the cynical Mr. Browning, " to
get in yourself, and then keep the other fellows out."
And he spoke with an air of authority. He is a member of only one
society, with the exception of the Order of the Crown, that one being
the Order of Runnymede, the members of which must trace their ances
try back to some of the Barons who wrested Magna Charta from King
John. For applicants to the other societies he acts as preceptor.
In discussing the Order of the Crown, Mr. Browning informed me
that the society was started by members of the Colonial Dames, and
one had to first be a Colonial Dame to gain admission.

MISCELLANEOUS. 327
MISS FAENSWOETH'S DESCENT.
Naturally there is considerable curiosity as to just who was the orig
inator of so unique a society as the Order of the Crown. I learned
from Mr. Browning that Miss Henrietta Lynde Farnsworth derives her
blood royal through her mother, who was a daughter of Samuel Valen
tine, of Hopkinton, Mass., whose paternal grandparents were John Val
entine, of Boston, " Notary and Tabellion Publick for Mass. Bay," or
His Majesty's Advocate General for the province of Massachusetts,
New Hampshire, and the colony of Rhode Island, who died in 1724,
and Mary, sister of Benjamin Lynde, Chief Justice of Massachusetts,
and daughter of Judge Simon Lynde, of Boston.
Miss Farnsworth's line to royalty is from this point run through
Judge Lynde's mother, Elizabeth Digby, a granddaughter of Simon
Digby, of Bedale, in Rutlandshire, whose grandfather. Sir John Digby,
Knight, was seated at Eye, Kettelsby, in Leicestershire. His only wife
was a daughter of Sir Nicholas Griffin, Knight, of Braybroke, Sheriff
of Nottinghamshire, in 1457, a grandson of Sir Thomas Griffin, Knight,
of Werton-Favel, in Northamptonshire, and his wife, Elizabeth, a
daughter of Sir Warine le Latimer, second Baron Latimer, of Bray
broke, who died in 1350, and a sister of Sir Thomas le Latimer, who
was the leader of the religious sect called Lollards, in the time of
King Richard II.

ODD MARRIAGE NOTICES.
In searching the files of some old papers recently, the writer came
across some very unique marriage notices which are well worth pre
serving, says John de Morgan in " Printers' Ink." It was customary
for the editor to make some personal allusion to the wedding, not in
the news columns, but immediately following the announcement.
Sometimes friends would attach gags and queer doggerel, very uncom-
pUmentary to the newly wedded pair, and some of the editorial com
ments were enough to place him in peril had it not been that the bride
groom rarely saw the notice until long after the honeymoon waned.
In the New York Weekly Museum for June 1, 1814, appeared the
following :
" On Saturday, May 14, at Charlton, Luther Marble to Miss Sophia
Stone." To which the editor appended the words :
" A very cold, hard match."
On March 27, 1815, this notice appeared in the Museum, under the
heading "Nuptial " :
" In Charleston, S. C, Jan. 31, Stephen Lyon of New York to Miss
Rebecca Lamb.

328 MISCELLANEOUS.
" The happy time at length's arrived
In Scripture days foretold,
Wheu Lamb and Lyon doth unite,
Embrace, and keep onefold."
Another Museum nuptial notice read thus :
" At Blooming Grove, John Reeder of this city to Miss Elizabeth
Tompkins of the former place.
' One volume of the " Rights of Man "
From maiden errors freed her;
She saw the title, liked the plan,
And soon became a Reeder.' "
In the New Haven Athenaeum of August 0, 1814, there appeared a
notice which naturally attracted attention because of the strange ap
propriateness of the names of all parties concerned. The editor, evi
dently a wag, appended a few words, the whole reading as follows :
" Married, at Peterville, August 1, the Rev. Dr. Cannon G. Powder to
the amiable and accomplished Miss Sparks.
Ed. — We are apprehensive that Sparks among such combustibles as
these will produce an explosion at Salt Peterville."
In another issue the writer found the following nuptial notice :
"On June 24th, at Hempstead, Eev. William Heart to Miss Lydia
Moore of this city. ' Whoever heard the like before,
She's got two hearts.
And he's got Moore.' "
A witty and punning notice from over the water announced the mar
riage in Great Malvern of Jlr. Nott, the pickle-maker, to Miss Burnett,
in these words :
" Burn it," cried Nott, " it makes me smile.
As well as feverish and hot;
My wife she loves me all the while.
But still declares she loveth Nott."

EDWARD NOYES WESCOTT.
The author of "David Harum" wrote: " But what is consistency?
It is merely living up to others' conception of our natural course of
conduct. We say of one, ' well, he is the last person I should ever have
thought would do that,' whereas the mental and moral progress of
retrogression of that man, going on within himself, has led most logi
cally to the sequence so unexpected in others.

MISCB3LLANE0US, 329
" Now what would you expect of me?" he supplemented, whimsi
cally, "a man whose name is No-Yes," and then he laughed in the
self-humoring way of one who repeats a joke oft told before, "Look
at my hands, too," he added, holding them out for inspection. "One
is strong, well developed, capable ; the other is almost effeminate.
Could anything be more inconsistent?"

The "Nonagenarian" relates the foUowing regarding the rehgious
disturbance in Newbury caused by the preaching of the famous White-
field. Rev. William Johnson would not admit him into his pulpit, and
the great revivalist was obliged to preach in a private house. " I have
often heard my great aunt Sara Noyes describe the sensation produced
by the eloquent divine. My great-grandfather, Dea. John Noyes, fully
sympathized in the disapjiroval evinced by his pastor, and issued a
strict edict forbidding any of his family attending what he termed
"those disorderly assemblies." Aunt Sara, then a girl in her teens,
entertained, as was natural, a strong desire to see and hear one whose
name was on every tongue, and whose words and their effects were the
chief topic of conversation on every side. At last, after much fear and
trembling, she mustered courage to make a clandestine attempt to sat
isfy her curiosity. An evening meeting was to be held at a house in the
vicinity, and she determined to brave her father's displeasure, if her
absence was discovered, and go. It was a dark, cheerless night, when,
with a throbbing heart, stealing down the stairs and noiselessly open
ing the door, she ran lightly down the gravel walk. Her hand was on
the latch of the front gate, when a voice, in an authoritative tone, ex
claimed, "Go back!" Startled, affrighted, she stopped, turned, and
peered into the darkness. No one was in sight. Through the uncur
tained window she could see her father and the other members of her
family seated around the bright wood fire. Concluding that, owing to
the nervous timidity which this disobedience to paternal mandates had
caused, imagination had conjured up this voice, with another long and
searching look around, she ope ned the gates. "Go back!" reiterated
the voice, even more decidedly than at first, just in her ear. What
could It mean? Again she stopped, waited, looked, and listened. Noth
ing unusual could be seen, and not a sound could be heard save the
wind sighing through the trees. Sarah Noyes was a resolute girl, not
easily turned from any purpose she had deliberately formed, neither
had she much belief in the supernatural. Thrusting back her fears,
with a strong will she stilled her throbbing heart, and with a firm step
she again started forward, "Go back, go back," thundered the voice,
in such a powerful and authoritative tone that, thrilling in every nerve,
the astonished girl, completely subdued, hastily turned, and fled into
the house. Though she lived to a great age, and could never be reck-

that this was a divine interposition to keep her from evih"
It is further related by the venerable Nonagenarian that it had been
the rule of the Church that every child presented for the rite should be
admitted to baptism. It was whispered among the people that Parson
Woods intended to set aside the " half-way covenant," and baptize only
the offspring of church members. A niece of Aunt Sara Noyes (recent
ly married) and her husband had come to reside with and take care of
the old lady and her farm. A son was born to this couple, which Aunt
Sara desired christened. As neither of the parents were communicants,
she thought it proper to ascertain the clergyman's sentiments. Without
hesitation, he promised to baptize the infant : "It was too cold (March)
to take out such a young babe ; when the weather grew milder he would
arrange for the ceremony." But Sunday after Sunday passed; the min
ister could never be made to appoint a day for the rite, some excuse
was always ready, till at length it became understood that thenceforth
only church members would be permitted to present their children at
the baptismal font. Aunt Sara was excessively indignant! The great
granddaughter of the Rev. James Noyes ; the daughter of the former sen
ior deacon (one next in dignity to the pastor), and herself one who at
all times had been most active, not only in the families of the clegymen,
but throughout the parish, whenever her services or money could pro
mote the good of the Church, Aunt Sara had come to be regarded, and
I think, also (though she would have disdained my assertion), to look
upon herself somewhat in the light of a lady elect. A slight to such a per
son could not remain unnoticed. Many were really grieved at this change
in the baptismal ordinance; others were angry at what they considered
duplicity; many remarked that it was " the cunning, the maneuvring
that excited ire and aversion. The pastor's manner was so arbitrary and
domineering that they must regard it as positively insolent. He ought
to be taught that he was not a pope to head a hierarchy, but simply a
preacher chosen to minister to a Congregational society. Several re
fusing longer to listen to his teachings, left the society for other parish
es, while Aunt Sara passed the day of private devotion at home."
Seminisences of a Nonagenarian.

A Nottingham clerygman, in baptizing a baby, paused in the midst of
the service to inquire the name of the infant, to which the mother, with
a profound courtesy, replied, " Shady, sir, if you please."
"Shady," replied the minister, "Then it is a boy and you mean Shad-
rach." " No, please your reverence, it is a girl."
" And pray," asked the inquisitive pastor, "how happened you to
call the child by such a strange name?"

MISCELLANEOUS. 331
" Why sir," responded the woman, " if you must know, our name is
Bower, and my husband said as he should like her to be called Shady,
because Shady Bower sounds so pretty."

" There — my blessing with thee!
And these few precepts in thy memory
See thou character: Give thoughts no tongue.
Nor any unproportioned thought his act.
Be thou familiar, but by no means vulgar.
Those friends thou hast, and their adoption tried.
Grapple them to thy soul with hoops of steel;
But do not dull thy palm with entertainment.
Of each new-hatch'd, unfledged comrade. Beware
Of entrance to a quarrel, but, being in,
Bear't that th' opposed may beware of thee.
Give every man thy ear, but few thy voice.
Take each man's censure, but reserve thy judgment.
Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy,
But not express'd in fancy; rich, not gaudy;
For the apparel oft proclaims the man. . . .
Neither a borrower nor a lender be ;
For loan oft loses both itself and friend,
And borro'wing dulls the edge of husbandry.
This above all: To thy own self be true.
And it must follow, as the night the day.
Thou can'st not then be false to any man."

The following memorial was prepared at a Session of the 5th Avenue
and 37th St. Presbyterian Church, Dec 2, 1900, by Elder Theron C. Strong:
" The great bereavement which we have sustained, both personally
and as a Session, by the death of our beloved associate, Henry D. Noyes,
impels us to place on the records of our church this tribute to his
memory. Some of us have been associated with Dr. Noyes as members and
elders of the Church of the Covenant and of this church for about 30
years. His manly. Christian character, and his personal traits, as revealed
in his professional, social, domestic and religious life, won for him
always our admiration and love.
His earlier associates can never forget him as they knew him during
the period of his increasing success and fame, before the infirmities of
age laid hold of him. His singularly graceful and dignified presence,
his refined and intelligent countenance, his clear and penetrating eye,
his polished and courteous manner, his genial and cordial bearing, pre
sented outward features of remarkable attraction and power.
(367)

358 CORRECTIONS AND ADDITIONS.
Nor can we forget the part he took in the religions life of the church,
especially in the weekly meetings, when, with the keenest insight into
spiritual things, with remarkable precision and beauty of diction and
with genuine spiritual power, he commented on the eternal verities, or
led in uplifting and inspiring prayer.
In recalling his professional career, we realize that Dr. Noyes was in
truth a genuine exemplification of the Christian physician. Of liberal
culture and wide reading; of the highest scientific attainments, and in
all respects abreast of the times ; with a reputation which placed him in
the very front rank in his profession, he yet possessed a child-like faith
in Christ and consistently followed in His steps.
It was a beautiful feature of his medical career that his brilliant and
commanding abilities were freely expended in the relief of suffering
and distress among the poor, by following the Divine mission to " open
the eyes of the blind," and to " bring light to them that sit in darkness."
And now that there only remains to us the memory of what he was,
as our colleague and friend, as well as in the assemblies of the great
congregation, we rest assured of a joyful meeting with him again in the
great Reunion.
We offer our sincere sympathy to his bereaved family, but rejoice
with them in their possession of the many and blessed associations con
nected with his character and career, and the contemplation of a life
work Christ-like and complete."
