DISCOURSE by William H. Berryman: Description: A discourse consisting of six pages of handwriting folded and titled 'Should the Elective Franchise be Granted to Women ?'. By William H. Berryman, dated 11/10/1899. Found in the belongings of Eleanor Tompkins Berryman, wife of Harold E. Berryman, son of William H. Berryman. Other items in with this collection of items incude photographs of William H. Berryman, his wife Amanda C. Henning Berryman, their twins Harold and Howard Berryman, and a photo of their house in NY. [note: William H. Berryman is the son of William Berryman who fought in the Civil War for NY and Mass. This discourse was written before he married on February 21, 1901. He died young November 27, 1911 at the age of 41. His wife went on to become active in the Republican party, and always worked at the polls.]

Should the Elective Franchise be Granted to Women ? William H. Berryman 11/10/1899

From time immemorial the responsibility of civil government has been excercised by man. Man is by nature combative - woman non-combative. Man has the responsibility of government because he is ready to fight for it, should occasion arise. The natural sphere of woman is in the family. Love, not force, is the source of her power. The duties of holding public office, jury service, judicial and police functions, could not be performed by woman without violating female chastity and delicacy. The suffrage is not a question of right or of justice, but of policy and expediency. It has been conceded only to those who can perform the duties of civil government. It is claimed that intemperance and the liquor traffic would be abated if the suffrage were given to woman; but nothing is more certain that that the suffrage is powerless to restrain appetite. This reformation must be the result of elevating the moral tone of individuals, and herin lies the greatest power of woman, which would be impaired, if not destroyed, by contact with men in political movements and elections. It is asserted that the possession of the suffrage would tend to elevate and refine woman; but judging by the effect of universal suffrage upon man, it would have a degrading, rather than an elevating influence. So far as the family is concerned, in the great majority of cases woman will either follow dictation or submit to coersion, by which the influence of the baser elements of society would be enlarged. The very existence of the State depends upon the propagation of the human species, and nature has devolved that function upon woman. Hence, if any advocate of female suffrage is disposed to quarrel with the arrangement which relegates woman to home duties, her dispute must be with nature - not with man. In regard to the plea that woman is entitled to vote because she is taxed, the right of voting in this State has not, for many years, been dependent upon the payment of taxes. The voting power is conferred upon male citizens, not because they own property, but because they are men. If the franchise is granted to woman, it must be to all - not alone to the intellectual and brilliant, but also to the densely ignorant, who have neither the education, the mental capacity, nor the desire to acquire political intelligence. It is no answer to say that there are a great many ignorant and degraded male voters. There is surely more to be apprehended from two ignorant and purchasable votes than from one. And then, in all the cities, there is that large class of women who are outside the law - 50,000, perhaps, in New York alone. Would their votes tend to improve municipal politics? And they would all vote - would be compelled to vote. Nothing but overwhelming public necessity could justify the imposition of political duties upon women until they, themselves, have expressed a desire to undertake these duties. There is no evidence that even a respectable minority of the women have the slightest desire for the ballot. As a peroration to this short discourse I will quote a few words taken from a speech by Abram S. Hewitt: "After carefully considering all the arguments advanced by the advocates of woman's suffrage, I am forced to the conclusion that their case has not yet been made out, and I do not think, from the organic difference between men and women, that it will ever be shown to be for the advantage of women that they should be forced to take part in political controversies. In fact, I think it would be a great misfortune to them, as well as to the human race."

ABOUT THE SURNAME TIERNAN: From a book on Irish surnames: "The Irish word for lord is tighearna, and the Mac Thighearnains were chiefs of Tullach Donnchadha, now Tullyhunco, in County Cavan. Thirty-three of their chieftans were sufficiently important to have their obituaries recorded in the famous 'Annals of the Four Masters'. They were kinsmen of the high- ranking O'Rourkes of Breffny. Another sept of this name in County Roscommon were descended from Tiernan, the grandson of Turlough Mor O Conor (1088-1156), High King of Ireland. The name has gone through a series of modifications, including MacTiernan, Tiernan, Kiernan and Kernan. It has no connection to Tierney."

Notes for URIAH WASHBURN TOMPKINS: OBITUARY OF URIAH TOMPKINS: Copy of original cutout newspaper clipping (unknown paper, possibly local in Cranford, NJ.) reads as follows: The Passing of Uriah W. Tompkins "Grand Old Man" Uriah W. Tompkins, a life member of the Supreme Council of New York, who reached his 91st birthday Dec 12, passed away six days later, Dec. 18, at the home of his son and daughter-in-law, Mr. Frank W. Tompkins, 15 Tuxedo Place, Cranford, New Jersey. Nephritis and old age infirmities were the cause of death. Bro. Tompkins had been in attendance at 33 sessions of both the Supreme and Grand Council. At one time he was a member of the Commitee on laws of the Supreme Council. Despite his advanced age, he made the trip to the recent sessions of the Supreme Council to Victoria, British Columbia, and enjoyed every day of the long journey and the stay in Victoria. His most recent photo, taken in the Gardens at Victoria, is reproduced here. For 45 years, Bro. Tompkins had been a practicing lawyer, with offices at 256 Broadway. Forty-five years also represented his membership in the Royal Arcanum, as a member of Knickerbocker Council, No. 572, New York City. He was regent of the council many years ago, and of late years he was honored with the station of sitting past regent. In November, 1930, at the annual dinner of the Associated Grand Council Officers and District Deputies of the Metropolitan Districts, held in the grand ball-room of the Commodore hotel, Manhattan, Bro. Tompkins was the guest of honor, the reception being tendered as recognition of his 90th birthday. It was a joyous occassion for "the Grand Old Man of the Royal Arcanum." Until six weeks previous to his death, Bro. Tompkins was enjoying his usual good health, and appearing at his office daily. Then came the break-down due to nephritis. He was in bed for several weeks, and when improved he resumed trips to his office as late as Dec. 8. He also called on the editor at his office. His friends and associates noted that he had failed considerably. A few days later he took to his bed again where he lingered until his death. On Saturday, Dec. 12, his 91st birthday, scores of telegrams, birthday cards and floral tributes arrived at the home. The messages of friendship and good wishes were read to Bro. Tompkins who was happy to hear from his many Royal Arcanum brothers. Among the visitors at the home on Sunday, the day following his birthday, were Past Supreme Regent Knoeppel and Mrs. Knoeppel and Supreme Orator Willament and Mrs. Willament. Born in N.Y. State Bro. Tompkins was born in Stamford, Dutchess County, New York. He received his early education in Stamford before entering college for the study of law. He was a member of the Dutchess County Society from the date of its organization. Many years ago he was a professor of mathematics at the River View Military Academy, Poughkeepsie, N.Y. Mrs. Tompkins died several years ago. There are three sons, Frank W. Tompkins of Cranford, N.J.; Harry L. Tompkins, of Ecuador, South America, and Willian C. Tompkins, of Woodhaven, Queens County, Long Island. The three sons are members of Knickerbocker Council. Besides the large number of Royal Arcanum officials and members of Knickerbocker Council who attended the funeral on Dec. 20, there was a delegation of officers and members of Radiant Lodge, F. & A. M., N.Y. City. Services were held in Trinity Church, Cranford, the interment following in Woodlawn cemetery, Bronx, N.Y. City. There were many beautiful floral tributes from the Supreme and Grand Councils and the Associate Grand Council Officers. Suddenly you were gone, Your smiles and you; And no one ever knew the road you took, but only That your ways Of kindness, and your face Of gladness, left an aching place Within the heart that no one else could fill. Now, seeing a blossom-covered bough, Or a white crown of snow On far blue hills, we know The world is sweeter for your having been Awhile therein.

Notes for Eleanor Frances BATTLE: BATTLE SURNAME ORIGINS: (source: The Richard Washburn Family Genealogy, pg 126): "The first Account on record of the Battle family was that their former residence was in Yorkshire, England, whence, disgusted by the passage of some ecclesiastical edicts, they fled to Ireland as an asylum, and stayed there for two years, only to be driven thence by the similar edicts. " Being dissenters from the established religion of the day there was no alternative left then but to flee still further, and they made their way to Virginia, in the years 1653 and 1654. "....The Battles did not come to Virginia by themselves, with them were Hunters, Sumners, Bakers, etc., connected by marriage and other family ties, evidently a considerable company who secured good grants of land in Virginia." Various spellings: Battle, Battaille, Battelle, Batles. Possible origins are French, Norman or Huguenot. Possible origin as a 'place' name, as in "John of the Battle" or "John who lived near the Battlefield."

RESIDENCE: -1930-1, resided at 15 Tuxedo Place, Cranford, NJ where they had Frank's father residing with him as that was Uriah Tompkins' place of death in Dec 18 1931. -1960's, 70's -resided in Far Hills, NJ. They had a stream running through the backyard where ducks lived.

LETTER TO HER DAUGHTER: DESCRIPTION: Letter found in the scrapbook of Winifred Tompkins (Mrs. Irving Troemel), daughter of Harriette Woods Baker.

Possible matching envelope: addressed to : Miss Harriette W. Baker 33 West 54th Street New York City, N.Y.

Asbury Park. Nov. 23rd, 1890

My dear Harriette, Thankyou very much for your bright little letter. I was delighted to receive it. As I could fancy it told me that you were feeling bright and well & that you had no headache. I hope you had a pleasant evening on Friday. Do be sure and go to bed early. I think you need plenty of fresh air and plenty of sleep. Mr. Davis's daughters are very nearly the same age as you and Fannie. They are very nice girls. Carrie who is just one week older than Fannie is studying art with her father, is also a very nice little housekeeper. On Saturday, her mother being sick in bed she went right into the kitchen and made pies and cake. She also ordered the meat from the Butcher. When he brought in the roast of beef she saw that he had charged for seven pounds. She weighed it and found that it only weighed six pounds. So she was afraid that he was not honest, and was trying to take an advantage of her, and asked why he did so? He replied that he had cut the bone out and trimmed it. So you see she learned something. They have a great big family cat here, named Tom, of whom they are all very fond. There is one peculiarity about Tom which is this, that he does not like to be lifted by the neck, (which I have always thought was the proper way to lift a cat) but prefers to be lifted by the tail. If I had not seen it done, I could not have believed it. When Tom is outside and wants to come into the house, he just springs up on the window sill , and immediately someone opens the door for him. I cannot say that he and I have become friends. I think he knows that I do not like cats, and yet I admire him, because he looks so fat and comfortable looking. The Park looks very lovely. I gave your regards to the ocean but could not get any other return from it than a great roar. So you can interpret that any way you like, either as a great hearty, "I thank you" or else, as a very rough, gruff, "I don't care." I must now stop fun and tell you that I am very sorry not to be with you on your birthday. I hope you will have a very happy day, and if it is God's will that you may be spared to have many more. But after all, it does not make so much matter if we live long, as if we live well. May God bless you and keep you always my darling and give you His Holy Spirit, that you may ever be growing into the likeness of His Son. Please kiss Papa and your sisters for me, with love to them, also to Grandma and your Uncle Andrew & Sister Anne, with kind remembrances to all friends not forgetting Mary. I am ever your loving mother,

Margaret Coats Baker

Notes for WILLIAM TOMPKINS: BIO: (source: excerpt from : Ada C. Haight, The Richard Washburn Family Genealogy, Ossining, New York. 1937, pages 121-122.) " William Tompkins, who was called from this earth January 23, 1894, was one of the well-known highly respected native citizens of Dutchess County, his birth having occured in the town of Pine Plains, March 9, 1810, and was a son of Judith Acker and Thomas Tompkins, and grandson of Philena Washburn and Richard Tompkins. His father, who was born in Westchester County, New York, December 19, 1779, devoted his entire life to agriculture in that county and in the town of Pine Plains, Dutchess County. His father passed away November 23, 1854. At the age of six years William Tompkins accompanied his parents to Westchester County, where he attended school and lived a rural life. He contributed his share to the cultivation and improvement of the old homestead and later secured employment on the sloops running from Sing Sing (Ossining) to New York City. He served as foreman on the construction when the aqueduct was built to New York, but most of his life was devoted to agricultural pursuit in which he was very successful. In the town of Mt. Pleasant, Westchester County, December 15, 1837, was celebrated the marriage of William Tompkins and Jane Merritt, daughter of John Merritt. After his marriage Mr. Tompkins removed to the town of Pine Plains where he engaged in farming until 1870 when he went to Rhinebeck and there lived for five years. On the expiration of that period he went to Clinton Corners, where his remaining years were passed in retirement. He was one of the self-made men of the county, having commenced life without capital other than his strong hands and resolute will, and attained to a fine position, socially and financially, among his fellow citizens. In his religious views he held to the faith of the Society of Friends, and his death was widely and sincerely mourned. In politics he was an earnest Republican."

***************************************************************************************** PETER PIESTER and KNICKERBOCKER GEN. from an email group: ****Subj: Milton KNICKERBOCKER Date: 98-08-25 16:12:30 EDT From: bucko@primenet.com (Hazel Bulkley) To: GFWalker@compuserve.com CC: HowardK758@aol.com (Howard Knickerbocker)

Good afternoon: Your letter in Aug 23 Knic E-mail re: Milton KN. I believe this is the Milton who was the son of BENJAMIN AND LETTA KN. This is the BENJAMIN I have been writing asking for help on finding. Here is the little I have on Milton:

MILTON KNICKERBOCKER b. 20 Sept 1803 d. 18 Feb. 1866 m. Gertrude unknown b. ca 1803 NY d. Children listed on census: Julia KNICKERBOCKER b. ca 1842 in PA Harry KNICKERBOCKER b. ca 1851 in Kansas 1840 census shows him in Penn. Luzerne--Providence Twp 1850 census info none found 1860 Census, Illinois. No occupation listed..real estate value $9000.00 and personal property was $1000.00 Birthdate and deathdate for Milton were take from cemetery records for Galloway Cemetery, IL.

To refresh your memory: Benjamin & Letta Benjamin KNICKERBOCKER b. ca 1775 d. ca 1823 m. Letta K. unknown b. 22 Sept 1777 d. 24 March 1864 Benjamin died at age 48 while engaged in a scuffle. Benjamin was born in Dutchess County NY. Believed he died there also. Letta died in Afton, Wis. and is buried there. She was living with a daughter Helen KN Kilmer. I found a "Letti" KN listed on the 1830 Census-heads of household Columbia Co, Galletin

Benjamin & Letta's children:

Milton KN b. 20 Sept 1803 d. 18 Feb 1866 m. Gertrude unknown Nelson KN b. 9 Mr 1809 d. 23 Ap 1849 m. Sarah Ann LaFrance Fellows James B. KN b. 5 Feb 1812 d. 4 May 1884 m. Catherine Latimer Jonas KN no info on this child Cornelia KN no info on this child Polly KN b. ca 1815 d. 27 Ap 1840 m. George Nichols Caroline KN b. 6 July 1816 d. 28 Jan 1889 m. Marquis PIESTER---These are my gr. grandparents!!! Helen KN b. 14 Feb.1820 d. 15 July 1908 m. James Kilmer All of the above known children, with the exception of Helen, migrated to IL around 1847. Helen married James Kilmer as his second wife lived in Scranton PA and then moved in 1853 Helen and James moved to Janesville, WI. Helen and James had one daughter, Harriet Cornelia KN b. 2 Dec 1805, m. Frank W. Mott. Helen actually died at her daughter Harriet's in Scranton PA and her remains were taken back to WI. WISH I COULD FIND SOME INFO ON THIS HARRIET KILMER MOTT......

On page 4 of Knick E-mail ii Catherine KN married Peter PIESTER 19 Dec 1844 Witness at marriage; Harry Van Benschotten and Jermiah KN. Catherine was the daughter of James KN who was son of Lawrence, son of Peter, son of Laurens Harmon, son of Harmon Janse.... Catherine died 17 July 1890. On 29 Nov 1893 Peter PIESTER married Jane KN who was the daughter of John William KN. This John William was the son of James KN also. John William and Catherine KN- -1st wife of Peter were brother and sister. So this makes Jane the niece of 1st wife Catherine. This Peter PIESTER was brother to My Marquis PIESTER who married Caroline KN.

GUESS THIS MILTON TAKES US OUT OF THE "GREAT ALVIN HUNT" BUT JUST IN CASE THERE IS A RELATIONSHIP I JUST MIGHT GET SOME GOOD NEWS ON MY "GREAT BENJAMIN HUNT"

I have much information on the BENJAMIN AND LETTA KN DESCENDANTS I just figured no one would be interested...Hope you will have a spare minute for a response to this letter.....THANKS for this unexpected help on the Van Bunschoten family.

Salt Point N.Y November 4th

Dear Will & family, Abbie and I certainly enjoyed your very interesting letter of your trip through this wonderful country and I can imagine how much you all enjoyed. I was so pleased to hear from you that it deserved a more prompt reply, but as you know time has a way of slipping away so quickly especially when one is busy. Fall always brings extra work, getting the house in order for winter the yard cleaned up. Trees are wonderful, only in the Fall when they begin to shed their leaves, I wish there weren't so many. I am very happy that you all were able to take the trip and see so many of the wonders & beauties of our country. I can fully appreciate how much you must have enjoyed every minute and returned all in good health which is a great blessing. I was in hopes you might make another trip up here before the winter set in and hear, if there are adjectives anough to express your feeling of the wonders you saw, but I guess you must have had traveling enough to last you for some time. There is no special news for me to write the summer has passed us in the same quiet way but short, Fall came along before I was ready for it. Abbie is holding her own fairly well, she is in a measure taking care of herself; she is able to get her meals and do the lighter things and what she cant do, I do, which is considerable. It is hard for her that her eyes are so bad she can read very little and sew not at all and consequently time hangs heavy - and she has never been able to take adversities with a smile. I read to her alot which she enjoys, it is very confining for me but as you know I was never much of a gadder. I was disappointed that I was unable to visit the DuBois's again this fall. I have to take it out in thinking of the good times I had last Fall. Frank and Eleanor visited me a few days in August on Frank's vacation. Eleanor seems fully recovered from her illness, let us hope she will stay well this winter for a change. You spoke of expecting Frank to ring you up. He was wondering why you hadn't called him up when you returned. You knew none of us knew just when you would get home. I thank you for all the many beautiful postals you sent me. It seemed to keep us in touch with your journeying. We have had many nice rains so our part of the country is looking fine. No severe killing frost so far. I suppose May was along with you on the trip. We have heard not a word about her how she stood the trip and was she benefited with the change. I have just received a letter from Mr. Johnson. He feels that he is growing old. I think I wrote you that Mrs. Johnson had fallen and broken her leg, in March, and with assistance she can just begin to walk. He wished to be remembered to you all and Mrs. Mars, would like to see you all, and he didn't mention macaroni! May, I have mailed a card on the back of my cabinet with your name on it, to be given to you, so you can be sure of that. We are having a regular [? Nor-Easter ], it has been beating on the house and Abbie's kitchen roof has leaked some, but not so bad as it has sometimes due to the holes after each rain. Abbie sends her love to you all as do I and especially to the "wonderful driver", if he hasn't anything to do but go to the movies, he might write to his Aunt Dady. Love to Mrs. Mars.

Salt Point, NY New Years Day 1935

Dear folks, Thank you all most heartily for your very generous Christmas gift. I shall spend it very wisely for things that I need and would otherwise go without. We had a very quiet Christmas. Abbie and I were invited over to Charles & Florences for dinner, a very nice turkey dinner. It was the first Abbie had been out for a meal in over a year. I was fearful it might be too much excitement for her but she stood it fine, ate a big dinner (for her) and chatted with Florences mother all after-noon, and came home quite happy. I guess it was effect of mind over manner, she just made up her mind it wouldn't hurt her to go and it didn't - got her out of the old rut and gave her something to think of. We had a little snow storm on Christmas day which made it seem more Christmasy but it didn't last only the day. Last night we had our first real snow storm and the country looks beautiful with its white covering. I love snow in the country but one hears many complaints from people that have to travel out. I know, you all, must have had a happy Christmas as always and now we are entering on another year. The country is in such a muddle and I wonder if President Roosevelt is going, with his schemes and new deals get us out of the muddle. I received a letter & card from Jennie Sherman Woodin. She spoke of you boys and wished to be remembered to you. She lives on a farm north of Clinton Corners her husband isn't well and I guess they have hard times to make ends meet. She said she had an old lady boarder which I imagine keeps the pot boiling. Paul is having one of his attacks of stomach trouble he looks miserable. I guess it was to much Christmas. Mason is home, I haven't seen him but once, he finishes his medical course this spring and then he will serve as an intern in some hospital, don't know where he will go. Abbie sends love and thanks for the pretty Christmas cards as do I for all gifts. I am going to answer Willies very interesting letter soon just keep up hope. With a Happy New Year to you all with lots of love, Aunt Dady

Dear Frank, Thanks for the pictures. I think they are very good, especially mine, I usually look so catty. Abbie showes her age. She forgot to put in her lower teeth so her mouth looks shrunken. I enjoyed your visit too, the only fault was its shortness. After I left the station I didn't spend all afternoon in the 5 + 10 but visited them all in quest of a small sauce pan for Abbie. Finally had to go to a hard-ware store. Called on Hellen's sister in Wallaces. She had just returned from her vacation, spent in camp in the Adirondacks, had a wonderful time. Had a bumpy ride home on the bus, didn't make 20 miles an hour as we did in the morning, would have landed in the fence I guess if we had, had a seat to myself until we got to Gus Howels when a big colored woman got on, and I had her for a seat companion, found she lived in part of Buck's house, a very pleasant spoken woman. The nuthatches had been busy while I was away. The peanut dish was empty, as the cooler weather comes on their appetites grow more keen. I hope my sunflower seeds will turn out better than they did last year. The tall one you measured I think has grown a foot since, has a great big blossom on. Had a present of 17 strawberry plants. I have set them out in the bed by the rambler rose. They look real perky on account of the two days rain we are having. It is raining hard now I hope it will raise the water in the pond. I have been thinking why don't you lease a little spot of ground of Mr. Horsfield and put up a little cabin in the side hill by our pond that wouldn't be such a bad place and there is fish in the pond for I had a present of two messes of fish, bullheads & sunfish, this week, and with a car you could visit Uptons whenever you wished.

Sunday Eve

Had a rip snorter of a storm Saturday night, the wind blew a gale and the rain beat in the roof and on my corner of the house. I surely thought every thing in the yard would be blown to pieces. About twelve o'clock Abbie called up to me to come down as there was water dripping in the kitchen. So we padder around in the wet and set pans to catch the water. The kitchen room has a habit of springing a leak. The only thing I could see that was any ways damaged by the storm was my sunflowers. They lie with their heads flat on the ground and the two big ones in the corn patch are resting their heads on the roof of the toilet. Tomorrow I will try and pull them up. The water is pouring over the dam, looks quite different than when you were here. Abbie sends love and thanks you for the picture. Received a letter from Mr. Johnson, his wife broke her leg near the hip joint and has been in bed since March. He always asks after you and Eleanor. Says they have had a very pleasant cool summer. Eleanor had some trip down with her father, no wonder he was all in after a twelve hour ride, when 3 or 4 hours knocks you out. With lots & lots of love Aunt Dady Tell Eleanor I am enjoying the candies.

Monday afternoon.

This morning when I went in to mail my letter to you I found your letter so I held it over to add another bit. I remembered about the new roll of film you started on for the pictures that you were in so am prepared to wait a spell. Wasn't that a terrible thing about the Morro Castle disaster. I think the storm we had Saturday night was just the edge of that storm that caused the disaster. This forenoon I got the sunflowers braced up with strings so I hipe the seeds will have a chance to ripen. You must have a wonderful growth of marigolds, but they can't compete with my two sunflowers. I wish I could measure the flowers, they are immense. Well you can keep busy on the plans of the Post Office and if you don't land the job you will at least done your best, wish you success. It certainly seems that the country is in an awful state, how we will pull out is a question. I guess things are getting out of hand with the President and the strikes, those that have work won't work and those that want to work? can't get it. My policy would be to starve the strikers untill they would be glad to go to work. Again with love and best wishes Aunt Dady Haven't seen a thing of Eleanors coat.

Dear Winifred -, Your letter this morning was one of the nicest Christmas presents anyone could have given us. We stopped by to see him this summer and did not know til then that Cousin Eleanor was in a home. He was of course concerned about her, his finances and living there alone. We felt so helpless in not knowing what we could do for him. He did say you were looking after them but not about the Masonic Home. We are so pleased that you were able to have them together with somone to look after them both. Cousin Frank said he was eating but with all the rolaids + digel around I wondered. I am your Aunt Abby's grandson and Charlie's son. I am the only DeLaVergne left around these parts. Mason, Paul's son, died a couple of years ago and his sons are in Penna. + Calif. I sold the store a couple of years ago and am retired here in Salt Point. We have to daughters and 3 grandsons, one lives in Columbia, Md and the other in Elk Creek, Va - way down in the S.W. corner - where we are going for Christmas. We will try and stop by Cousin Frank's as we are up and down 295 or the N.J. Tpike, quite often. Do stop by and see us whenever you are up this way 914-266-3610. Thank you again for letting us know about Cousin Frank and Eleanor and for looking after them so well. Love, Meredith P.S. Do have a Merry Christmas!

Dear Winifed- Thankyou for your letter telling of Cousin Eleanor's passing. We have stopped by the Masonic Home twice, once after New Year and again this week on our way home from you Daughter in Columbia, Md. Frank seemed real good. He had on his good suit as he said his other pants kept falling down. We spoke of Eleanor and he said it was just as well as she was real sick and had lived a ling time. He said he was ready to go anytime also but he was not depressed or feeling bad. He said something about loosing his liscense for running in a police car but thought it had happened when he was 75. The home seems like a wonderful place and are so happy that he is there. It has been cold around here but guess we can't complain after looking at Buffalo and other places. We leave Monday for South America. We fly to Ascension Paraguay, visit Argentine friends who is Governor at Pasadar Argentina and then visit American friends who live in Sao Poula Brazil. We will be home March 8th. It is supposed to be hot in that area and we are looking forward to that. Frank had us read him 2 letters, one from their old preacher and the other from a lady in another Masonic Home. Will probably check him again in March. Love Meredith _________________________________________________________________________

11/9/79 Dear Winifred- Thankyou for letting us know about your uncle Frank. He was indeed a fine man and we always enjoyed seeing him. My birthday was on the 25th and we went to our daughter Anne in Columbia, Md for the weekend. When we passed Burlington I said the next time we will stop and see Cousin Frank. We did not stop that time as we had a 85 year old friend with us who we were taking to Kent Island, Md to be with his sister for the weekend. We stopped several times to see him and he sure didn't complain except for his knees and the fact he could not have a cocktail before supper. After the first mention of cocktails we always took him a bottle of ready made whiskey sours. We often wondered if they ever caught him with the bottle. I think we had one of those invitations too and am not sure whether we gave it to him or is around here some place. My mother saved everything in that line. Rode my bicycle to see a friend this summer and stopped by the cemetery where Aunt Kitty is buried, for a rest. We would love to have you stop by sometime when you are out for a drive. Thanks again for keeping us informed and we both hope Frank found his construction job in the sky. Love Meredith.

Sunday Eve

Monday afternoon.

This morning when I went in to mail my letter to you I found your letter so I held it over to add another bit. I remembered about the new roll of film you started on for the pictures that you were in so am prepared to wait a spell. Wasn't that a terrible thing about the Morro Castle disaster. I think the storm we had Saturday night was just the edge of that storm that caused the disaster. This forenoon I got the sunflowers braced up with strings so I hope the seeds will have a chance to ripen. You must have a wonderful growth of marigolds, but they can't compete with my two sunflowers. I wish I could measure the flowers, they are immense. Well you can keep busy on the plans of the Post Office and if you don't land the job you will at least done your best, wish you success. It certainly seems that the country is in an awful state, how we will pull out is a question. I guess things are getting out of hand with the President and the strikes, those that have work won't work and those that want to work? can't get it. My policy would be to starve the strikers untill they would be glad to go to work. Again with love and best wishes Aunt Dady Haven't seen a thing of Eleanors coat.

AS AN AUTHOR: "A school History of the United States, containing Maps, a Chronological Chart, and an Outline of Topics for a More Extensive Course of Study" (1843); "A Question Book on the Topics in Christ's Sermon on the Mount" (3 volumes, 1862); "The Catechism Tested by the Bible" (1851), being an exposition of the Westminster Assembly's Shorter Catechism, translated into fifteen languages and published over 1 million copies. He asisted his wife in editing six volumes of the "Mother's Assistant" and an equal number of the "Happy Home"; "The Ark, Ships and Ship-Building, with a Brief History of the Art, and a Register of the Vessels built in Medford." (1847, 40 pp).

IN REGARD TO REV. ABIJAH R. BAKER'S DISCOURSE ON THE SHIP-BUILDERS OF MEDFORD, Excerpt from The Medford Historical Register, Vol. 1., 1898,pgs 76-78, published by the Medford Historical Society: "It remains that I should speak of the results of the work performed by the ship-builders of Medford. Rev. Abijah R. Baker, formerly pastor of the Second Congregational Church of Medford, delivered a discourse on this subject on Thanksgiving Day, 1846. The sermon was full of valuable information, and was published. Through the kindness of Mr. Dean, Librarian of the Massachusetts Historical and Genealogical Society and our repspected associate, I have been permitted to consult a copy of Mr. Baker's printed discourse which is contained in the library of the society. This document gives a complete register of all vessels built in Medford from 1803 to 1846, with the name of each ship, date of building, the yard in which it was built, builder, owner, and tonnage. This register was afterwards supplemented by Mr. Brooks, and brought up to 1854. The whole will be found in his history (pp. 336 to 380). Mr. Usher, in his edition of "Brooks' History," fails to complete the register down to the close of ship-building, 1873, and, for some inscrutable reason, Mr. Brooks' register does not appear in his book. Mr. Usher gives, however, some tables of statistics which are of interest in this connection. " RESIDENCE: 1876, at time of death: Washington Street, Boston, Suffolk Co., MA

Marriage Notes for Charles BAKER and Mary SCHENCK: RESIDENCE: An excerpt from a Castine, ME realtor's website on the history of Northrop Cottage, the residence built by the widow of Charles Richardson Baker:

"Northrop Cottage was built in 1906 by Mrs. Charles Richardson Baker, a widow from Brooklyn, New York. Mrs. Baker originally called the house Villa Conselyea after a street in Brooklyn. She built the Queen Anne, shingle-style cottage so her grandchildren could escape a serious diphtheria epidemic in New York City. To get from New York to Castine, the family traveled by a steamship heavily laden with belongings and servants. The house subsequently became known locally as Northrop Cottage, the surname of one of Mrs. Baker's grandchildren. From a long line of ministers, the Baker family was instrumental in constructing the beautiful Episcopal Church on historic Perkins Street. The collection of religious books in the living room are remnants of the family's commitment to religious training and teaching. While strolling the property, visitors may discover a low stone wall painstakingly built by local stone masons that marks the border of the six acre estate. Also, an old spring-fed well, there long before Northrop Cottage was built, is located near Battle Avenue. Native Americans used to visit the spring for the water's medicinal properties. An apple orchard can be spotted in front of the carriage house. Northrop Cottage features many interesting details from the early 1900s. Brass wall sconces, servants bells, converted gas lamps, butler's pantry, leaded glass windows, soapstone counter, marble sinks, built-in window seats, and exquisite moldings are examples of some of the articles. Other facts of interest include: The room sitting atop the roof, commonly referred to as the widow's watch, was actually a replica of a deckhouse from a riverboat of Mark Twain's era. Fire hoses were located in the second and third floor hallways. Hand pumps, then located in the basement, were used to supply water to the upper floors in the event a fire ignited. Two large cisterns were built in the basement to capture rainwater. The water was then pumped to a third cistern in the attic of the house where the rainwater serviced the family's water needs. The third floor living room was originally a billiard room where gentlemen of the day gathered. The carriage house was built by local shipbuilders. Square dances were common events in the carriage house and the upper floor was used by the grandchildren as a stage in play performances."

Notes for THOMAS TOMPKINS: CENSUS 1850: 1850 Census in NY, Ossining town, Westchester Co. Film Roll: M432_614. Page 56, image: 114. (Ancestry.com). Thomas Tompkins is 70 years old. Born in NY. Occupation: says "none". His property is valued at 2500. He is family # 562 with his second wife, Phebe Baker. She is 64 years old. Their neighbors #561 are Richard Palmer and family of 4 ppl. And #563 are Hiram (?) Merritt, 24 years old, laborer, and Smith Acker Merritt, 36 years old. Property valued at $3000. Next to them #564 are Jemima Merritt, 36 years old and Mary, 9 year old, and another 1 year old, name illegible.

*This seems to be a mistake in last names, as a Jemima Tompkins married Smith K. Acker, not Smith Acker Merritt. Jemima is the daughter of Thomas Tompkins and Judith Acker and she and Smith Acker have a daughter named Mary, born in 1840.

Notes for JUDITH ACKER: THE ACKER FAMILY: (source: excerpt from : Ada C. Haight, The Richard Washburn Family Genealogy, Ossining, New York. 1937, pages 128-129.) " The Acker Family and Name. The Acker or Ecker (so written on the old Dutch Church records) family were early of Philipse Manor and long prominently identified with it. In fact those bearing that name and the varied variations of it, were numerous in all of the Dutch settlements on Long Island and on both sides of the Hudson River as far as Albany. However, all of that name in this Manor are distinctly traceable to Wolfert and Jan (John) Acker, who were from Midwout, Long Island. "Sunnyside" was the home of Elder Wolfert Acker and his descendants for several generations, and a part of the original house, or "Roost", as Washington Irving facetiously entitles it, is still preserved in it. Abraham and Jemima Acker, the great grandparents of Smith K. Acker, bought a farm in the town of Mt. Pleasant (Crotonville), north of Ossining, New York, from the Commissioners of Forfeitures on November 1, 1792. It was on this farm that Jemima Tompkins and Smith K. Acker lived and reared their family. They are buried in the family plot in Dale Cemetary, Ossining, New York."

NAME OF JUDITH ACKER: In one instance, family genealogy notes which belonged to Frank W. Tompkins, state that Thomas Tompkins married Sarah Ann Acker.

Notes for Stephen TOMPKINS: CHURCH INVOLVEMENT AND BIO: (Excerpt from : Ada C. Haight, The Richard Washburn Family Genealogy, Ossining, New York. 1937, page 113.)

"The Christian Church. The first action for the erection of the Christian Church at Pine Plains, New York, was at a meeting held at Lafayetteville, Dutchess County, New York, June 12, 1858. As a result subscription papers were thereafter circulated and at the next meeting, Auguast 21, 1858, at Uriah Hicks', $500 had been subscribed. Elder P. Roberts was present and suggested that $300 additional be raised at this meeting, which was done, and Uriah Hicks, Benjamin Wilbur, Jeptha Wilbur, Samuel I. Hicks and Stephen Tompkins were elected "Trustees of the First Christian Society of Pine Plains." The church organization took place September 7, 1856, at the house of Stephen Tompkins by Elder Philetus Roberts and R. B. Eldridge, and was recorded in the county clerk's office October 22, 1860. The church edifice (located in West Pine Plains) was completed the next year (1859) and dedicated, June 16, by Eli Fay, of Yellow Springs, Ohio. The early pastors have been, in succession, Philetus Roberts, R. B. Eldridge, W. B. Hote, Gardner Dean, George B. Fuller, L. D. North, and J. Q. Evans, and supplies later have been from the Christian Biblical Institute at Stanfordville and other places. Stephen Tompkins, like his brother, William, devoted most of his life to agricultural pursuits, and, too, was very successful. His marriage to Catherine Acker cemented the Acker and Tompkins families firmly as Stephen Tompkins' sister, Jemima Tompkins, married Smith K. Acker, the brother of Catherine Acker."

iv. Thomas TOMPKINS, Jr., born 1814; died Unknown; married Sarah Ann LEWIS; born Bef. 1845; died Unknown.

Notes for Thomas TOMPKINS, Jr.: FROM 'THE RICHARD WASHBURN FAMILY GENEALOGY' by Ada C. Haight, Ossining, New York. 1937, page 134: "Thomas Tompkins and wife moved to DuBuque, Iowa, where they settled on a farm. They spent their entire life there as did their children, with the exception of William Tompkins, who in 1896 came east to visit and while here married Ophelia G. Tompkins Sherman, his cousin, of Clinton Corners, New York."

REGARDING FAMILY BELONGINGS: We have been handed down the above book, 'The Richard Washburn Family Genealogy' from Frank W. Tompkins (Uriah's son) and in the margins of page 134 there is pencil writing referring to Thomas Tompkins Jr as "great uncle" and "grandfather's brother". The same is true for the next page, 135, where Ophelia Gertrude Tompkins Sherman is named "Aunt Sheil". William Tompkins (son of Thomas Tompkins Jr.) is referred to as "Grandfather's brother's son and 2nd cousin." Ophelia is Uriah's sister.

Also, we have have been handed down some photos from Marion Tompkins ( Uriah's grandaughter through his son William) and there are 2 photos made in a studio in Rock Rapids, Iowa. One is an older man with a long beard holding blonde twin babies. The other is a woman of about the same age. It is possible they may have something to do with this branch of the Tompkins family since Thomas lived in Iowa. Although DuBuque is on the east and Rock Rapids is in the upper far left corner of the state.

NAME: May Ruamy be a nickname for Ruhama, Rheuhama, Ruhannah, Rhiannah, Roxanna, Rosannah? In the 1850 Census in Ancram, Columbia Co., NY, there is a child named Ruamy Smith, 2 years old, d. of Abraham Smith and Anna Jane Kenney, living next to Ruamy Coons' daughter Barbara Ann and husband James McArthur. I wonder if the 2 year old Ruamy was a namesake or if there was any family connection, etc. to the Smiths.

NAMESAKE: There was a Ruhamah Washburn born: 15 JUL 1757 in Bridgewater, Plymouth county, Massachusetts. Daughter of Henry Washburn and Sarah Battles, who was born in Hingham. They were married: 11 JUN 1740.

******************************************************************************************** SEARCHING FOR PARENTS OF RUAMY WASHBURN COONS: Ruama Washburn, born abt. 1793, married Philip A. Coons, they lived in Ancram and Gallatin. She states in census that she was born in NY. Her husband's Coons ancestors were from Livingston Manor area, NY, Ancram, Gallatin. Washburns who came to Livingston Manor, NY from Bridgewater, MA include Robert Washburn (born May 23, 1715 Bridgwater) who married Mary Fobes (born May 1, 1717), married on March 6, 1740. They had 7 children in Bridgewater until 1752.

Notes for Hon. Marshall Pinckney WILDER: BIO: Excerpts from The Richardson Memorial, pgs 776-779. "Mr. Wilder's father gave him, at sixteen, the choice, either to qualify himself to be a farmer or merchant, or to be fitted for college. He chose the former. His father took him into his store, where he bore himself so well that at the age of twenty-one he was taken into partnership. The next year he was married. He was also made postmaster of Rindge. "Possessing a taste for military affairs, at sixteen her was enrolled in the militia. He organized the Rindge Light Infantry; was chosen captain; at twenty-five was made lieutenant colonel, and at twenty-six was commissioned colonel of the twelfth regiment. "Seeking a wider field of action, he removed, 1825, to Boston. He began in Union Street, in the wholesale West India goods line, under the firm of Wilder & Payson; pursued the same business, under the firm of Wilder & Smith, in North Market Street, and later in his own name at No. 3 Central Wharf, till 1837. He then became a partner in the dry goods commission house of Parker, Blanchard & Wilder, Water Street; then Parker, Wilder & Parker, Pearl Street; afterwards in the firm of Parker, Wilder & Co., Winthrop Square. The firm was burned out, with many others, in the great fire of Boston, Nov. 9, 1872; but they resumed their business afterwards. Mr. Wilder is still a member of that firm, and so is his son William Henry. "Mr. Wilder has occupied many posts of honor, trust, and responsibility. He was a director in the Hamilton Bank and the National Insurance Company about forty years. He has passed through commercial embarrassments, but has been successful in business, and has always maintained an honorable reputation. He has made liberal contributions to worthy objects. "Devoting a suitable time, in the middle of the day, to his mercantile affairs, he has given nearly all his leisure hours to agriculture, horticulture, and pomology, for which, from boyhood, he has had a peculiar taste. And no man has been happier than he in the enjoyments of domestic life. "In 1831, after the death of his first wife, he sought retirement, and finding a house to his mind in Dorchester, built by Gov. Increase Sumner, he purchased it the next year. Here, in his garden, and with his green-houses and fruit trees, he has pursued his favorite employments, year after year, to the present day. "Nor has he acted alone. Of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society, he has been one of the most efficient and active supporters, and for eight years it's president. Of the American Pomological Society, formed in 1848, he has been president considerably over twenty years. Of the Norfolk Agricultural Society, organized in February, 1849, he was president twenty years. The United States Agricultural Society owes it's origin to him, in 1852; he was its first president, which office he held six years. Many of the improvements in agriculture and its kindred pursuits have been suggested and promoted by him. "He has had little desire for public life; but was representative from Dorchester one season, 1839; a member of the executive council, 1849; senator of Massachusetts from the County of Norfolk, 1850, and through a new member was chosen president of the body. "Of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company, chartered in 1638, he became a member soon after his removal to Boston, and for twenty-five years was not absent from its anniversaries. Having been nominated to office four times and declined, he accepted the honor in 1857. "He was unanimously elected president of the New England Historic Genealogical Society in January, 1868, and has been elected president every year till the present time, 1875. Through his efforts in the way of soliciting funds, using for the purpose his whole leisure time for three months in 1870, during which time more than forty thousand dollars were contributed for the purpose, the handsome edifice No. 18 Somerset Street was procured, and dedicated March 18, 1871, to the use of said society. "Few gentlemen have acquitted themselves so handsomely as Mr. Wilder in the numerous positions he has been called to fill, as few have equalled him in dignity of presence, amenity of address, and capacity and despatch in business."

224. RICHARD TOMPKINS, born March 27, 1745; died January 12, 1813. He was the son of 448. NATHANIEL TOMPKINS III and 449. MARY FORSHAY. He married 225. PHILENA WASHBURN. 225. PHILENA WASHBURN, born August 16, 1749; died May 17, 1828. She was the daughter of 450. RICHARD WASHBURN and 451. AMY BIRDSALL.

Notes for RICHARD TOMPKINS: THE TOMPKINS FAMILY: (source: excerpt from : Ada C. Haight, The Richard Washburn Family Genealogy, Ossining, New York. 1937, pages 14-15.) The Tompkins family originally emigrated from the north of England during the time of the religious persecution in that country, and landed at Plymouth in the Colony of Massachusetts; from Plymouth they removed to Concord, Massachusetts. Then the family subsequently emigrated to Fairfield, Connecticut. In 1649, John Tompkins was proprietor of lands in Fairfield, from here the family removed to Eastchester, Westchester County, New York. The name Nathaniel Tompkins occurs among a list of the first proprietors of Eastchester in 1665. Nathaniel, who was born in 1703 and died in 1790, owned a large farm in the town of New Castle, Westchester County, New York, on the highway now known as Pines Bridge Road. Here, he and his wife, Mary F. Tompkins lived and reared a family of eight children, five boys and three girls. Richard Tompkins, one of the sons of Nathaniel, born in 1745, married Philena Washburn, dau. of Amy Birdsall and Richard Washburn. This couple lived in the old Tompkins Homestead where three sons and two daus. were born. They are buried in the Brundage Tompkins Burying Ground in the town of New Castle, located a short distance north of where they lived and died.

ABOUT THE TOMPKINS BURYING GROUND. (Source: File called 'Descendants of John Tompkins' by Scott Tompkins.) Verbatim Copy: "The Tompkins Burying Ground

"Less than a mile northeast of the Ryder burying ground (in Ossining, NY) set back from Pines Bridge Road and enclosed by a stone wall, is the much larger Tompkins burying ground. It contains some 75 recorded graves, dated 1797 to 1899.

"The most imposing monument in the burying ground is also one of the oldest: a red sandstone for Amos Tompkins (1742-1802). His family came to this country in 1635, settling mainly in Fairfield County, Connecticut. His father, Nathaniel (1703-1790), was born in Yorktown and owned extensive properties in New Castle. Nathaniel and his wife, Mary Forshee Tompkins, had ten children, of whom Amos was the fifth.

"Amos Tompkins' farm extended from Pines Bridge Road to Old Croton Dam Road (Route 134) [in Westchester County, New York]. He may have been the one who established the family burying ground - the oldest stone is for an infant granddaughter, who died in 1797.

"Other family members in the burying ground include not only Amos's children and grandchildren, but also his brother Richard (1745 -1813), plus a wide assortment of nephews, nieces, cousins, spouses, and in-laws. Some of those buried here appear not to have been relatives at all, but simply neighbors and friends. In 1850, Amos's grandson Brundage Tompkins (Jr.) deeded the burying ground (separate from the rest of his property) to several of his direct and collateral relatives.

"In the early 20th century, the property containing the burying ground was acquired by the Hudson Hills Golf Club. The burying ground was in effect abandoned, and long neglected. The property now belongs to IBM, as the site for a new research center. The site plan commits IBM to restoring and preserving the burying ground.

" He lived in Rutland, Massachusetts, where on March 6, 1761, he bought lot No. 13, in Princeton, Massachusetts, containing two hundred and ninety-two acres. He then settled in Princeton, and sold various portions of his lot, saving only about one hundred acres on which he lived the remainder of his life. He held various important offices in Princeton, and was prominent in its affairs for the ten critical years before the revolution. He was on the special committee which drew up the declaration of independence for the town in 1774. He was of studious mind, fond of literary study and philosophical researches, being known as 'Philosopher Woods.' He taught the first public school in the town, at his home, and continued that practice from the time of his removal to Princeton until his death. He was a member of the Congregational church."

" Secondly, as to his military service: " At the Lexington alarm he marched as a private in Captain Joseph Fairbank's Company in Colonel Asa Whitcomb's Regiment of Militia."

BIO EXCERPT from "Reminiscences and Records of Rev. Leonard Woods, D.D." Author: Harriette Newell Woods Baker. ( chapter 4: Settlement in West Newbury]: " In October, 1799, my father was married to Abby Wheeler, daughter of Rev. Joseph Wheeler, a graduate of Harvard College in 1757. He was ordained in the town of Harvard in 1759, but his settlement and usefulness there were suddenly cut short by the loss of his voice. Soon after the commencement of the Revolutionary War, Mr. Wheeler zealously engaged in the cause of his country, and was chosen a member of the Provincial Congress, representative to the General Court, and a member of the Committee of Correspondence. The night before Bunker Hill battle he volunteered, with five others, to go to the hill, and they staked out the ground for the intrenchment which was thrown up during the night. After the arrival of General Washington at Cambridge, Mr. Wheeler was chaplain of his staff. After the war he was appointed Justice of the Quorum for Worcestor County, and Register of Probate, which offices he held till his death. "

HANDWRITTEN LETTER transcribed by and in the possession of Hank Carter, descendant of Rev. Joseph Wheeler thru his son Daniel Greenleaf Wheeler. It appears on "A CARTER FAMILY GENEALOGY HOME PAGE" at http://www.worldwidecommerce.com/carter/ . He has transcribed it as follows: "An Incident of Bunker Hill As any incident connected in anyway with the battle of Bunker Hill is now eagerly sought for, and as the incident which I am about to relate has never been published & is known only to a few of the descendants. I offer the following truthful account for publication. Rev. Joseph Wheeler graduated at Harvard College in 1757; was ordained pastor of the church in Harvard, Mass. Dec. 12, 1759. After a few years he had the misfortune to lose his voice as entirely as to require him to leave the pulpit. Soon after the commencement of the Rev. Udange (?) he graciously engaged in the cause of his country and was chosen a member of the Providential Congress, refuser totine to the General Court, and a member of the Committee of Correspondence. The night before Bunker Hill battle he volunteered with five others to go on to the hill and they staked out the ground for the entrenchment which was thrown up during the night. After the arrival of General Washington at Cambridge, Mr. Wheeler was chaplain of his staff. After the war he was appointed a justice of the quorum for Worcester County register of probate, which office he held until he died. Among his descendants are and have been, some of our most prominent men. Moses Wheeler, formerly a merchant of State Street, Theophilus Wheeler of Worcester, register of probate and justice of the quorum, Daniel Wheeler of Worcester, and Dr. John Wheeler of Dover, NH were his sons. Mrs. Woods, wife of Rev. Dr. Woods of Andover and Mrs. Walker, wife of Rev. Daniel Walker of Danover were his daughters. Rev. Leonard Woods, D. D., ex. President of Providence College, Nathaniel Walker of Louisburg square, Theophilus Walker of Walltaus, Mrs. William Rea of Chestnut St., Mrs. Hannah Walker, sister of Nathaniel and Theophilus and Mr. Joseph Wheeler Woods of West Cedar Street are among his descendants. S. Woods Boston, MA May 25, 1895 "

RESIDENCE: His estate in Worcester was contiguous to Joseph Lynde and Judge Edward Bangs. A relative describes it as follows: (source: from Henry M. Wheeler's "Genealogy of some of the Descendant's of Obadiah Wheeler of Concord, and Thomas Thaxter of Hingham.", pg 15, 16): 'In the rear of these mansions were extensive gardens of equal size; across the lower part flowed a purling stream, and rare fruits and choice flowers, fountains and the more common embellishments were results of the industry, taste and skill of the younger branches of the families. Near the centre of each garden was an arbor covered with vines and furnished with seats and also a closet, a deposit for such books and luxuries as might by chance find their way there. Twighlight and moonlight often drew together in these pleasant retreats the parents and children of the families, and in the enjoyment of music and sociability the summer evenings sped away.'

REVEREND JOSEPH WHEELER BIO: (From "Historical Homes and Institutions and Genealogical and Personal Memoirs of Worcester County Massachusetts With a History of Worcester Society of Antiquity". Prepared under the supervision of Ellery Bicknell Crane. New York. Chicago. The Lewis Publishing Company.1907.)

page 301 ... Joseph Wheeler was under the care of his grandmother after he was three years of age. He went to school at the age of fifteen to prepare for college and entered Harvard at the age of eighteen. He graduated in the class of 1757 and studied divinity with Rev. Mr. Woodward, of Weston. He taught school in the town of Weston. In 1759 he was approbated to preach and "ordained to the pastoral care of the Church of Christ in Harvard" December 12, 1759. Two years later he married Mary Greenleaf. Her father Dr. Daniel and her grandfather Dr. Daniel were both physicians. The latter became a minister of the Gospel. Dr. Daniel Greenleaf, Jr., was at first at Hingham, where he married and afterward removed to Bolton, Massachusetts, in which town he practiced, living to the age of ninety-three years. His second wife was Dolly, widow of Josiah Richardson. His children numbered ten, of whom Mary was the ninth. She was eighteen and a half years old when she married and had ten children when she died at the age of forty-one. Page 151 Dr. Greenleaf's grandfather was Captain Stephen, distinguished in the Indian wars, deputy to general court, a prominent citizen. Rev. Joseph Wheeler erected a house in Harvard soon after his settlement there. This house is well preserved and is now (or was recently) occupied by William H. Savage. He left the ministry July 28, 1768, but continued to reside in Harvard and was prominent in all the affairs of the town. He was an ardent patriot and was elected to various positions of trust and honor. He was a member of the local committee of safety and correspondence and attended the convention of committees at Worcester, August 9, 1774. He was a member of the provincial congress held at Salem, October 7, 1774, and at Watertown, July 19, 1775. In these assemblies he served at the head of important committees. He represented Harvard in the session of the general court held at Watertown, July 19, 1775. At the Lexington alarm he marched as a private in Captain Joseph Fairbanks' company, Colonel Asa Whitcomb's regiment. He spent several weeks at Washington's headquarters and tradition says that he was chaplain to Washington. Another tradition is that he assisted in laying out the fortifications at Bunker Hill. There is no proof of this except a cane and cannon ball treasured in the family as mementoes. The cannon ball was fired at a group of men on the slope of the hill from a British man of war in the harbor. It cut a sucker from the appletree under which the group was standing and it lodged in the earth near by. Mr. Wheeler secured both ball and stick from which he made a cane. Mr. Wheeler was appointed register of probate for Worcester county in 1775, but continued to reside at Harvard until 1781, when he purchased an acres and a half of land on Main street, Worcester, nearly opposite the present site of the court house, and erected there a house which report says that he brought from Harvard. Not long afterward he built the house long known as the Wheeler mansion. This estate remained in the family a hundred years. He held various offices in Worcester and continued in the office of register until his death in 1793. His wife died in 1783 and the following year he married Mrs. Margaret Jennison, widow of Captain Israel Jennison, of Worcester. She was the thirteenth child of Antoine and Mary Sigourn, French Huguenots, and her maiden name was Marguerita Olivier. She was born at Annapolis, Nova Scotia, and was married in 1746 to Joseph Coolidge,

page 302 a distinguished merchant of Boston, by whom she had seven children, one of whom, Margaret, became the wife of Jacob Sweetser, of Lancaster. Mr. Coolidge died in 1771, and she married in 1775 Captain Israel Jennison. She survived her third husband, died at the age of ninety and was buried in the tomb of her son, Joseph Coolidge, in King's Chapel burying ground, Boston. The estate of Rev. Joseph Wheeler in Worcester, on which he resided, contiguous to those of Joseph Lynde and Judge Edward Bangs, extended eastward several hundred feet equally with the others. These grounds were well cultivated and stocked with choice fruits and flowering shrubs. This unique garden is described by a relative as follows: "In the rear of these mansions were extensive gardens of equal size; across the lower part flowed a purling stream and rare fruits and choice flowers, fountains and the more common embellishments were the result of the industry, taste and skill of the younger branches of the families. Near the centre of each garden was an arbor covered with vines and furnished with seats and also a closet, a deposit for such books and luxuries as might by chance find their way there.

(VIII) Edward William Wheeler, son of Edwin Wallace Wheeler (7), was born May 1, 1873. He was educated in the Worcester public schools and at Highland Military Academy at Worcester. His father expected him to assist on the farm but he thoroughly disliked farming and left home. He went to work for Fuller & Delano, architects, in Worcester, and found the business to his tastes. He studied architecture and remained with Fuller & Delano for five years. He was with the Webb Granite and Construction Company for six months. He went into business with Albert E. Scoville in the contracting and building business. The firm name is Scoville & Wheeler. They have offices in the Knowles building, 518 Main street. They have had a large variety of contracts and have been successful. It is one of the most promising firm of builders in Worcester. Some of the work of the firm is as follows: The Howe Memorial Library in Shrewsbury; the women's and men's wards and the administration building in the State Colony for the Insane at Gardner, Massachusetts; two modern school houses at Gardner; the postoffice building at Gardner, owned by the Heywood estate; buildings and additions to the plant of Heywood Bros. & Wakefield Co. at Gardner, Massachusetts; residence of John S. Gould, Germain street, Worcester; residences in Worcester for Fred A. Mann, Lenox street, for Samuel D. Spurr, Dean street, Mrs. W. J. Wheeler, nee Stratton, Forest street, for her daughter, Mrs. Lotta Tracey; residences of L. E. Carlton, president of the Heywood Bros. & Wakefield Co., at Gardner, costing twenty thousand dollars; residence for E. L. Thompson, the chair manufacturer of Baldwinville; and a number of handsome residences and stables in Westboro and Gardner. Captain Wheeler is best known perhaps for his excellent record in the militia. But for his energy and persistent work to maintain the standard of efficiency at a critical time, this organization in which the citizens of Worcester take great pride and which has maintained a long and honorable record, would have been disbanded. He enlisted January 21, 1891, and has been in the militia ever since. He was made a corporal September 9, 1892, and was promoted to sergeant January 18, 1894, having charge of one of the gatling guns then in the possession of Battery B, to which he belonged. When the guns were transferred to another branch of the service he became a guidon corporal. He was again appointed sergeant June 1, 1895, and first sergeant June 4, 1902. His promotion to second lieutenant came March 18, 1903. Just a year later, May 19, 1904, he received his commission as captain of the battery in which he had been for thirteen years of continuous service. The title of his command in full is Battery B, First Battalion, Light Artillery, Massachusetts Volunteer Militia. The celebration of the thirtyfifth anniversary of the battery was observed October 18, 1904. There was a parade, a banquet in the drill shed and a drill at the Fair Grounds. The speeches of Congressman Thayer, Mayor Blodgett, Representative Mark N. Skerrett, General Robert H. Chamberlain, Captain E. G. Barrett, Rev. Dr. Willard Scott, President W. H. Brody and General

page 305 F. W. Wellington showed the esteem in which the organization is held and the credit due the commanding officer while lieutenant in maintaining the efficiency of the battery. The inspection of the battery April 12, 1905, was a source of satisfaction to the officers and men, who were complimented on their work. Captain Wheeler is a prominent Free Mason, being a member of Athelstan Lodge, Eureka Royal Arch Chapter and the Worcester County Commandery, Knights Templar. He is equally active in the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, being a member of Quinsigamond Lodge, and Mt. Vernon Encampment, also of the Patriarchs Militant, Grand Canton, of Worcester. He is assistant adjutant general with the rank of major on the staff of Brigade Commander Daniel Harrington. He is a member of the Page 153 Commonwealth Club, the Tatassit Canoe Club, Worcester County Mechanics' Association, Worcester County Agricultural Society, Worcester Grange, Patrons of Husbandry.

After a time he ran away, and gave as a reason for doing so that he was tired of mosquitoes and black stumps."

It's near Pines Bridge in Westchester County not far from Ossining. His body and tombstone were removed and he was reinterred at Dale Cemetery. The tombstone is in very good condition. Tompkins farm not at IBM Thomas J Watson Center. It was where present day Hudson Hills Golf Course and Maryknoll are located . Joseph H. Tompkins, my great grandfather was last Tompkins on this farm. He sold it prior to 1900, as on that census he is living in a two storied dwelling in Ossining. Maryknoll is off the old Rte 34 as it leaves Ossining to the north east heading towards Millwood. The cemetery has an access road leading to it across the golf course. My brother Don has the original deed and I have copy of same. Cemetery in fairly good order, as memory serves me there is something like 87 graves there. Many stone walls which correspond to early 19th century maps of the area.

Notes for AMY BIRDSALL: THE BIRDSALL FAMILY AND NAME Just when Henry Birdsall left England and came to America is not known, but records show that he was admitted to the Church in Salem, Massachusetts, in 1638, and on March 2, 1638, he was made a freeman, and at the Quarter Court, held January 25, 1639, he officiated as a juryman. The name of Nathan Birdsall, son of Henry, appears on the Long Island records at East Hampton, July 5, 1653. He married about the year 1650 Temperance Baldwin, the dau. of Elizabeth Alsop and Richard Baldwin and he died about 1698, having assigned property to his sons, Stephen and Henry. Nathan Birdsall, also had four other sons, Stephen, Benjamin, William and Nathan Jr. Benjamin, the oldest son of Nathan, is recorded first in the Oyster Bay records, February 20, 1684-85, showing that he and his brother Stephen were of the Syndicate formed for the purpose of purchasing 100 acres of land from the Indians. Nathan, son of Benjamin, was born 1705, and married April 12, 1726, Jane Langdon, dau. of John Langdon, both residents of Hempstead, Long Island. Soon after the family removed to Westchester County, New York, but Nathan in 1728 settled in Quaker Hill, Dutchess County, New York, arriving there with one child by way of Purchase, New York, and his name appears on the Quaker records there. Some of the family settled at Chappaqua, New York, and in the near vicinity where many of the descendants still reside. Amy Birdsall married into the Washburn family, she being the wife of Richard Washburn. The name Birdsall is decidedly English, Bel, to Birdsall - in the Doomesday Book - Btiteshala, Brit's or Brid's, meaning "Slope Land." (source: excerpt from : Ada C. Haight, The Richard Washburn Family Genealogy, Ossining, New York. 1937, pages 13-14.)

Later the family domicile was established on Lincoln Street, as it now is extended, about a mile north of the town centre. Abijah's descendants still own and live there."

RUTH WRIGHT.

Notes for JOSEPH WHEELER: PARENTAGE: This Joseph Wheeler who married Abigail Butterfield is usually shown to be the son of parents Obadiah Wheeler and Elizabeth White ( Mayflower descendant and daughter of Resolved White and Judith Vassall). However, the Mayflower Society has now stopped accepting the line of Joseph Wheeler who married Abigail Butterfield because there was more than one Joseph Wheeler in Concord at the same time and it is not proved sufficiently that this one is the son of Obadiah. For this reason I leave his birthdate as 'unknown', rather than the previously accepted date of his previously accepted parentage as cited in Concord, Massachusetts VR page 34 " Joseph Wheeler ye son of Obadiah Wheeler and Elizabeth his wife was Born 7th march 1690.1". ( source: A letter from the NJ Chapter of the Mayflower Society, dated August 2001: "...Unfortunately the Mayflower Society no longer accepts the line of Joseph Wheeler who married Abigail Butterfield. The reason is that there was more than one Joseph Wheeler in the Concord area in that same time period and there is no PROOF that the Joseph Wheeler who married Abigail Butterfield is the Joseph Wheeler who was the son of Obediah and Elizabeth (White) Wheeler.") )

RESIDENCE: Excerpt from Henry M. Wheeler's "Genealogy of some of the Descendant's of Obadiah Wheeler of Concord, and Thomas Thaxter of Hingham.", pg 7. (note: This source assumes he is son of Obadiah Wheeler.) "Joseph lived on the old homestead at Concord until he followed several of his brothers to Lancaster, and in 1742 purchased a farm of sixty acres on Chestnut Hill, about two miles south of the present town of Leominster. This farm was sold in 1753, and the next year another was bought at a place now called Pratt's Crossing in the same town. A mill pond and grist mill were included in this purchase, and the mill dam and the farm house are still standing. Other farms were owned by Mr. Wheeler. His last home was on George Hill in Lancaster, where he died in 1780. His wife, Abigail died in 1764, and two years later he married Sarah, the daughter of Ebenezer Allen of Lancaster. He had five children born in Concord, all by his first wife....."
