It is hoped that this book will be of decided interest and value, not only to the family described upon its pages, but to the general public, and especially to those students of his- tory who lay bare the past, catch clear glimpses of its exist- ence, and acquire a just appreciation of its spirit by following the lines of particular families. By this study they know the motives which iufluenced the actions and moulded lives of its individual members. It is not to be denied that such studies have a i-emarkable value in disclosing the evolution of states, and the building of governments. A clear insight into the formation of some of the earlier colonies, now embraced in the United States, the organiza- tion and development of many of their towns, their slow growths, the sufferings of the settlers, the distressing Indian wars, the contest for national independence, the struggle with Great Britain from 1812 to '15, and the mighty battle for national supremacy and existence from 1861 to '65, with many glimpses of the politics of the states and nation, may be bad by following and noting the lives of individuals of different generations of the family whose existence is here delineated. This work has the charm of novelty, and the merit of origi- nality — for never before has any History of the Sinclairs of America appeared. The family, also, has about it the glamour of romance and antiquity in being the offshoot of one of the most illustrious ones on the other side of the sea. For a thousand years its course can be traced — for a thousand years its mem- bers have belonged to the advanced guard of civilization. From the misty Noi-se-land to the sunny plains of Normandy, France, from thence to England, to Scotland, to Wales, and II m,,^-- p*)^ INTBODUCnON. 18 ed interest and its pages, but students of his- ses of its exist- irit by following they know the ded lives of its bat such studies Intion of states, i of the earlier s, the organiza* >wns, their slow istressing Indian the struggle with lighty battle for > '65, with many ion, may be had iuals of different lere delineated, e merit of origi- the Sinclairs of of romance and most illustrious thousand years years its mem- of civilization. ts of Normandy, , to Wales, and centuries later to Ireland, Australia, and America, it has helped to conquer, then reoi-ganize, develop and protect new com- munities. In the United States its members have been active paiiiicipantB in every war. In that respect it has been a decidedly marked and peculiar family. In America its patriotism has been unquestioned, of the most unobtrusive kind and most valiant order. It has shrank from no dangers, and has not been appalled at the fearful risks of the most hazardous chances of war. In scouting expeditions against lurking Indians in ambush, in the long and dreary march through wilderness forests, in the rigor of «ur northern winters in half-sheltered camps, in bivouac, and on scores of battlefields, its members have suffered and endured as only the brave and heroic can, and some of them have rendered the supreme sacrifice of life itself for their country. In relation to them I can say that which might not be appropriate for one of the Sinclairs to utter. This work has , been a laborious and diflScult one, as few accurate records have been kept by the family. This deficiency had to be supplied by facts obtained from wills, and i;pcords of administrations of estates, gathered in many probate offices in different sections, and from the offices where transfers of land were recorded, by town and church records in various states, by military records published by different states, from manuscript records of the states, and pension papers in the Pension Office at Washington, D. C, and from tombstones in every known locality where the family has lived. All known floui-ces of knowledge on this subject in America and in Europe have been consulted by correspondence or by my personal inspection. This work is one of infinite detail. Errors will appear, criti- cisms will be made. But let him) who has prepared a work of a similar nature, thereby knowing its difficulties, and whose work is faultless, be the one to ''cast the first stone." Silence will become all others as a jewelled crown does the brow of the fairest princess. For a long time I had desirad to know more of the ancient Norman families who settled in England at the time of the Conquest. A special fascination always clung to the Sanoto- Claro family, a branch of which lived at Roslin Castle. Inves- »^shi.^mim^'- . 14 INTRODUCTION. tlgatioDB in that direction have led to this volume, which is now given to the public. The orthography of the name has greatly perplexed me, as the kaliedoscopic changes from Sinclair to St. Clair, or St. Clair to Sinclair, were brought to my view, and even before the name settled down to the common form of Sinclair or St. Clair, which is within a century. I have faithfully attempted to follow in the spelling of each individual's name the form adopted by that individual. Some inaccuracies will probably be found in this book, in the printing of proper names and dates. The responsibility rests lai^ely on the parties who sent me the records, for often- times they were written hastily and illegibly. I made great efforts to have the names correct, and the dates full and accurate. ARRANOEKENT. The arrangement is simple, and similar to that adopted in many genealogical works. The pedigree of each head of a family goes back to the emi- grating, or first known ancestor. The latter is indicated by the numerical figure *, meaning the first known generation; and so following down the line, with the ancestor's name marked by a numerical figure denoting the generation in which the person stands. On the left mai^ns of the pages consecutive numbers are used. Heads of families, as a rule, appear with two numbers, first as a child, with number on the left; while on the right in parentheses () is the number where the person will be found as the head of a family.

My thanks are due, and are hereby rendered to all who have interested themselves in this undertaking and who have rendered valuable assistance; some must be mentioned by name as their aid was invaluable. Hon. Charles A. Sinclair, of Portsmouth, N. H., wished to know the history of his ancestors and kindred. He has borne the expense of the preparation of this work, the cost of print- ing it, and of illustrating it with more than sixty full pages of engravings. Thus has the history of those of Sinclair lineage been placed in enduring fonu. I am indebted to Hon. Obed Edson of Sindaurville, Chau- tauqua Co., N. Y, ; Miss Emma H. Sinclair, Brentwood, N. H. ; Hon. Charles H. St. Clair, Morgan City, La.; Miss AngeUne St. Clair, Albion, Orleans Co., N. Y. ; the late Charles P. St. Clair, Esq., New Hampton, N. H. ; Hon. John G.

This work chronicleB and preserveB much history of another American family from its advent to these shores until the present. It gives information and knowledge to many Sinclairs of a relationship with other Sinclairs of diverged lines of which they never dreamed hetore. It brings them into closer intimacy and connection, and eptablishes betweem them a common and fraternal bond of sympathy and regard. It may lead to regular reunions of the numerous widely scattered, and far separated members. This work recalls much from the mist of vanished years which existed only in loving memories. Forms laid away in the long-ago it brings back clothed in former loveliness and beauty. This book is now sent forth upon its mission in the world. Go forth, product of hand and brain, I bid you "Good, speed and far going." LEONARD ALLISON MORRISON.

V In sunny France there is an ancient and beautiful province which strikingly resembles some of the fairer districts of England. It is closely connected with the latter by sympathy and by memories of an illustrious past. There are old towns and newer ones of beauty which will interest the traveler. Every spot seems stamped with the impress of one mighty man — William the Conqueror. Among the lesser of the lovely rivers of Normandy is the Epte, which flows quietly along through pleasant and luxuriant intcr\ales on its couree to the Seine. There is a spot upon its shore where a grove of tall trees not too thickly stand, and whose high' and leafy tops furnish a protection to the creepers and small undergrowth among them, and a refreshing shade to the ^'isitor upon a day of warmth and sun. A few i-ods from the flowing river is the "Holy Well" of a martyred saint, whose pure waters, it is said, have for centuries given and still impart a healing power to the eyes, and which the pious and simple people still use, annointing themselves with the sign of the cross. Near at hand is the fonner place of abode of the pious recluse, where exists a shrine in his honor, and a chapel adjacent thereto where wor- shipers often gather to listen to then: religious teachers and to utter their songs of praise. At an early period a member of one of the noted families of England left his native land and at this place in Normandy made his abode. He was a religious man; lived in a Hermitage. In that remote century, in primitive style, and in great simplicity, he lived. The beautiful lines of the poet are nearly ai^licable to this saintly man. 8 '*i%.ii ^:- 18 -OBIOIN OF THE ST.

In a recess, with a roof rising from the top of the wall, is the Hermitage. Its floor is of stone rising six inches from the ground. Within is a stone altar two feet or more in height, on which is a representation of the cniciflxion and Christ's descent from the cross, while near at hand are his devoted female followers. This is surrounded upon the wall by flying angels bearing a scroll or rolie. On the right of this scene is a' statue of St. Clair, with his neck protruding from his clothes, while within his hands is his ghastly head with its upturned face facing the heavens. In this shrine of the Hermit there is another altar. Some three feet high were often many candles kept buraing.

The roof of the chapel is of tile. The entrance is surmounted by a ball of stone and a stone cross. Each comer is capped by a ball of' stone at least eight inches in diameter. The two Norman windows and door are of equal height, and the colored glass is protected by iron bars. Inside the chapel there is room for some thirty people. Facing the entrance w a stained glass window, and also one win- dow on each side. At the end of the chapel, facing the entrance, is an upraised altat, upon which are the crucifix, the holy candles, and vases of flowers.

The St. C'laii'H, or SinelairH, ho fainoiiH in liiHtory. were of a ditfer- ent I>Io(mI, aiul foUowing a coniinon ciiHtoin of the a^e, tmik tlieir name from the castle and l«K'ality in which they lived. The castle of St. Clair apiK'arB to liavc l»een the hive of this family. History does not inform iis of the manner in which it fell into their possession. It was taking on its name of St. Clair in N!)4, one thousand years ago, or tt^n years after the martyrdom. This family, living at the castle and on lands of that name, were early called St. Clair. Though the St. CInirs can in their descent lie traced to the Norsemen, and to their home in the cloud land of the north, yet they are only members of the Saiictesieged and taken by Rollo in HiM), and afterward became a home of the Sinclairs. The castle of St. Clair had its aame thoroughly established in it 12; and it was there in that year that Charles the Simple, King of France, met the Norse chief Rollo, who was then and there installed into the dukedom of Normandy. The castle stmNl near the church in the present village of St. Clere, but no remains can he seen there to-day. The village is not an interesting one in itself, l^iit, like most places or cities in Normandy, is unclean, and like them, too, is destitute of a really cleanly and comfoilable hotel. From tlie high table-laud back of the church, and near where the castle is said to have stood, is an excellent view of the country al)out for many miles. The landscape looks rich and beautiful, with sloping hills, woods, great fields comparatively free of walls or hedges, with grazing herds, while the light colored roadways thread the country in various directions. The Sinclaira were among the earliest families to assume a surname, and in that they were fortunate. From their historic stronghold they went to St. Lo and became lords of the fortress there. This citadel gathered alM)ut it the important town of that name in the district of the Cotentin, and which from its picturesque situation on steep rocks and frowning hills overlooks to-day the river Vire. The Sinclairs of Rye, Normandy, were a branch of the St. Lo family. Another offshoot of the blood from the castle of St. Clair iPSl^i lIK. *. All tiilH !h ill ho Ih'CIIIIH' II Mllillt, . Chiii-. ItK.

It is claimed that he desirad a Norman to succeed him. It was in 1065 that Hultert Sin- clair*, Karl of Rye, Normandy, went on his perilous mission as a secret agent between William, the Duke of Noi*mandy, and Edward the Con- fessor, by whom it was arranged that William, who was his relative, should succeed to the English tliroue. (History of the Siuclairs of England, p. '.).) On Jan. 5, 1066, Edward, the king, died childless. Then commenced in earnest the struggle for the kingdom. It was " an irrepressible conflict" between Saxon and Norman. Harold, a brave son of the great Earl Godwin of England, in whose veins flowed no princely blood, represented the Saxon element and was crowned king of England. William of Normandy was aroused, and in the spring and summer of 1066 his country rang with acts of preparation for invasion of England. His splendid army was safely landed on Phiglisb soil; the time of conflict for supremacy was at hand. Events would now transpire changing forever the character of the English nation. '* Of those lithe, athletic figures in ai-morr on horseback around Wil- liam, Duke of Noi-mandy, on that famoas October day of 1066 near Hastings, nine at least were Sinclair^. With Greek-like ease, familiar from fine expression in tapestry, they moved in the inmost circle of his gallant sun-ounding." (History of the Sinclairs of England, p. 3.) It is not improbable, though not susceptible of i)OBitive proof, that the Earl of Senlis, with his sons, three subjects of the king of France, and not of the Duke of Normandy, helped to swell the i-oll of the Sinclaira on that decisive battle day. On that field so fatal to Hai-old fifteen thousand Angles, and as many Normans, fell. On the night succeeding the day of the battle, over the identical spot where had waved during the fierce battlestorm the standard of the English king, the successful warriors spread their feast on tables of stone among the dead. At that board the Sinclairs were gathered. The circular depression in the soil of some three feet in depth, and st6ne8, said to be identical, are still pointed out to the visitor to that historic place. Over that place the famous and magnificent Battle Abbey, at Battle, England, was erected to keep green the memoiies of the victors, and as a memorial of the great triumph of William the Conqueror. Though the latter dedicated it chiefly to the saying of masses for the soul's repose of King Harold, whom he had de- spoiled of life and his kingly crown, yet it became -the abode of his most zealous friends, who had assisted him, among the Norman monks. At that altar were offered his triumphant sword and his kingly robes worn at his coronation. In that same place was depos- ited one of the most famous historical documents of many centuries, — ^the " Roll of Battle Abbey" — consisting of a record of the Nor- man gentry who came to England with the Conqueror and helped to swell his victorious armies. On that memorable list, as the repre- sentative of all the Sinclairs, was inscribed the name of Walderae, Earl of St. Clare, as the head of this illustrious family. m ■Of: -'*-rtV' ■Av;4>t^ii^-.L«v. - i. », ' -' — T^- inTiii^iii 26 THE 8INCLAIRS IN NORMANDY ANU BRITAIX.

In addition, notice will be taken of other branches of this same family, who l)ecame conspicuous on Knglish soil. Over the name of the "nine Sinclairs" and their descendants, and where possible of otliers, will l>e placed figures denoting the number of the generation the person is in descent from Rogenwald*, the Noreemau, and considering him as the first generation of ancestors.

The history of Hamo Sinclair' will now be given. 1. Hamo Sinclair' (Hamo«, Malger*, Richard*, WilUam Long- sword*, Rollo«, Rogenwald*), Karl of Corbueil, who fixed his residence in Knglaud after the conquest, was brother of Waldeme Sinclair, Karl of St. Clair. He is said to have been at Hastings with the Con- queror, and dapifer afterward, and perhaps founded the castle H)f Rye in Sussex, Kngland. He was proprietor of lands and estates in counties of Kent, Essex, Surrey, and held claims on many in other counties. His home was at Rye, County Sussex, England (History of the Sinclairs of Kngland, p. 165). He was renowned and power- ful. These are among his children : II ;5«**eBSi5«5eaifflB!»«;- ilTAIX.

On that bold eminence in Rye his ruinous castle still stands. A dashing, brilliant figure was he among the SInclatrs of England. He was a gallant and successful soldier and galne, Rogenwald*), called Earl of St. Clair. He was born in Nor- mandy, France, about 1006. His home was not at the famous castle from which he derived his title and his name, but at the castle of St. Lo, which for several generations must have been the abode of his branch of the family. From this place he and his thi-ee sons rallied around William the Conqueror during the conquest of England, and were with him at the battle of Hastings. Afterward he received land on the Medway river and was called Walter de Mednana. His name was on the Battle Abbey roll and he was living in 1075. The site of the castle of St. Lo is not now visible.

He received more than a hundred estates in England from William the Conqueror; was first constable of the Tower of London, and was viscount, or sheriff, of Essex, Middlesex, and Hertfordshire. She had a son Osborne Mandeville«, who had a descendant by name of VValyein.

He was the hei-o of Hastings ; at a critical period in that bat- tle "he overthrew many of the Angles." He accompanied his cousin Hubert Sinclair, and helped to wrest tlie tower of Norwich from an insurgent commander, and he had gifts of lands and a house when he had done the duties of a soldier. He was one of the foremost officers of war and court, and after the conquest the most or all of his life was spent on English soil. He held lands in Wortham, England.

This would go far to prove that he was one of the promi- neut persons of his day. His HuiTolk estates were not far distant, and both were situated in a very strongly disafTeeted district. He was chaml)erlain of the king, and the most of his time was spent at Nor- folk. He had wealth and |H>sition and was among the successful Sinclairs of England. It is supposed that he died later than 1119. He had a son Walter of Medway, and among his descendants were other Richard Sindairs of position, prominence, and probity. 17.

William Sinclair' [7] (Walderne*, Malgei*, Richard*, William Longsword*, Rollo*, Rogenwald^), born in Normandy, France, about 1028. His career is the most interesting of all members of the Sin- clair family. For some unexplained cause he was one of the nobles who did not love the Norman chief and he forsook England, and about 1068 he with other noted barons took refuge with King Malcolm III., of Scotland, where he became the steward or dapifer of Queen Mai^aret. Honors of all kinds were confeiTed upon him and bis personal popularity was great. The regularity of his features, hie elegance and regular proportions, and his yellow hair won for him the name of ''The Seemly St. Claur." On the roll in the church of Dives, Noi-mandy, he is alluded to as "The William 'le blond.'" He became a determined and bitter enemy of his relative, King Will- iam of England. More than once "the Conqueror "^et him on the field of battle on the Scoteh border, and in one at least "the Con- queror" was defeated. William Sinclair was warden of the marches, and lost his life bravely fighting against King William and his com- mander, the Earl of Gloucester. He was the founder of the house of St. Clairs or Sindairs of Roslin. He married Doratha Dunbar, daughter of the P^arl of Mai-ch, and obtained a grant of the barony of Roslin^ Midlothian.

Sir William Sinclair" (See \o. .19) of Roslln, was sheriff of the county of Edinburgh.t 19. Rudulph Sinclair' [10] (Iluliert*, Malger*, Richard*, William Longsword', Rollo*, RogenwaUl"). He was born al>out 102B, in Normandy, probably at tlie castle of Rye, and was his father's eld- est son. He had reached proud manhood's prime on that early morning in 1()4«, when his father stood at Rye's castle gate and be- held his relative and prince in his rapid flight, and afforded him aid and comfort. He was one of Hul)ert'8 sons who Iwre the future conqueror company III his extremity. Twenty years later he was at the Hast- ings battle, and was near the king. Afterwartl he commanded the forces to secure the heart of Knglaml. In 1066 he and his father and two brothere returned to Noi-mandy to aid in quelling the Cleiio- mannic troubles there, after which he returned to Kngland. He was made Karl of Nottingham, and the magnillcent castle was given into his charge and keeping. It was one of the finest castles in the king- dom, and is still imposing in its elevated and commanding imsition ; exceedingly interesting are its subterranean and winding flights of stairs cut in the soft rock, and its chambers without windows. In Domesday Hook he held great irassessions in Leicester, Nottingham, Stafford, Lincolnshire, Derby. In Nottingham he had eleven houses, and in Nottingham County he had ten manors ; in Derby he possessed thirty-seven lordships, Criche being one of them ; he had DallJy in Leicester and Gunnebi in the County of Lincoln. The amount of pi-operty in his possession and in that of other Norman lead- ers, followers of Williniii the Conqueror, was enormous. This had been wreiicheout 1028, probably at the castle of Rye. He was in hia young manliootl when William, hi» prince, in headlong haste, halted at the castle gate of Rye, in 1046, and received hospitality from Hultert's father. He was one of the stalwart sons who went forth hastily and accompanied William, the duke, to his own forti-ess. The conquest of England opened up a new anu brilliant field for the exhibition of his talents and prowess. He was in the innnediate surrounding of the Con- queror at the battle of Hastings in 1066, and that night encamped upQU the battle field. He accompanied his cousin Richard Sinclair, and' Wrested the tower of Norwich from the insui-gents ; he secured things with a strong hand, death and destruction desolated his way; he became the governor and ruled Norwich Castle with an iron hand. He became the dapifer of the half-brother of William. During sixty years this family were rulers of Norwich and its famous castle, but were of the County of Norfolk. The castle still stauds, and from its top is a beautiful view of the city of Norwich and the country about it. He :.eld great landed possessions in Sussex, Berkshire, Dorsetshire, Dev» u, Wai-wickshire, Kssex, Staffordshire, Norfolk, and Suffolk, which the robber king had taken from the Saxons and given to him. At one time, 1066, he was sent by his king to quell the Cenomannic rel)ellion, and after its accomplishment returned to his possessions in his adopted country. It is said that he manned Agnes Todenei, a daughter of Robert Todenei of Belvoir Ca8tle,,and either he or one of his sons married the' daughter of Rodulph de Bello Sago, who brought West Lexham as a dowry. He had few descendants to keep bis a living name or to perpetuate his deeds. 2.3. Adam Sinclair' [12] (Hubert', Malger», Richard*, William Longsword*, Rollo«, Rogenwald'). He was known as Adam of Campes, and Adam, son of Hubert ; he was the third son of the Earl of Rye and was born about 1032, in Normandy, probably at the cas- tle of Rye. While in youth, in 1046, with his brothers he shared in the romantic and historic ride for the protection of his illustrious rel- ative and prince, William of Normandy. At the coixqiiest his for- tunes were linked closely with William the Conqueror ; he went with him on his hajsardous enterprise, and was one of the nine Sinclairs who were about the king in the decisiye battle of Hastings, in Ooto- mmimismiiwfsmh': —31 [20 oivl) war between iter he is untied "a th.

In the single county of Kssex the record of his estates tills three large pages' in the Domesday Book, and he owned land in at least nine other counties. Hut his lai-gest estates and greatest interest were in Essex. He was its most illustrious person, and his fame lives there till the present. He from his ottlces was the chief subject in Kngland, and at that period was at least one of the wealthiest persons in that country. Having received great honors from King William, at his death, it was by largely executing the plans which his vigorous intellect had ' originated, that William-Rufus, the second son of the Conqueror, succeeded to kingly nde in Kngland. Under him he became Lord of Colchester, then the second town of the country in importance, and which is fifty miles from the queen city of Kngland, London. At Colchester he lived much of the time. The palace of King Coel, a former ruler, was in Colchester. Un the site of this palace, by orders of King William, Kudo Sinclair in 1076 builded the massive and famous castle of Colchester, whose ruins at the present time are among the most celebrated and grand in Kngland, and in which is a celebrated museum, containing among other relics, urns and ashes of the Roman dead. He lived in this princely home with his wife and family, and here were centered all ties of home and political interests. His mind turned to religious things. In 1096, in September, he commenced, and finally built from his^own i-esources, "the famous abbey of St. John the Baptist," the gate of which alone remained in 1889. In 1097 he himself laid the first foundation stone, and bis beloved and loving wife, Rose Sinclair, laid the second, and in 1104 the structure was finished, and to it he gave lands and' revenues. It received donations from other Sinclair relatives. The abbey has now disappeared by the ravages of time. He established a hospital for lepers, of which there were many in England at that time. It was outside of Colchester, and was dedicated to St. Mary Magdelene. Under King Henry he was full minister for the United Kingdom. He was approaching life's sunset. He had been great under three kings of Kngland, who were his relatives. His life had been made supremely happy by his wife, Rose Clair, one of the greatest and ^^SiSS^iSji^&iii [24 roU; nine Kiiiclnira [■toiler, lOtW;.

Before 1080 he had built the castle at Northampton, and lived there and was its governor. At this time he erected the extensive priory of St. Audrews, near his cast:le, in the uorth part of the town, and near the north gate. He was on intimate and friendly terms with the Conqueror, and later was one of the great nobles of Henry I., and was Earl of Northumberland. His life was active ; he gave much to the church.

The same year he was one of the commissioners tu Franco to obtain a wife for the king, who was then a widower, which resulted in making queen of Joletta, daughter of the Count de Dreux.

The «arl was sent to the Tower of London, and in Septem- l)er of 1405 was permitted to return to Scotland. He died before 1418. His son, 47. William St. Clair|% 3d Earl of Orkney and 1st Earl of Caith- ness. He was the first of his family to enjoy the latter distinction. Many were the high oflSces held by him, and he had great landed estates and great influence. In 1446 he founded Roslin Chapel and endowed it with various lands and revenues. He was High Chancellor' of Scotland from 1454 to 1458. He resided at Roslin Castle. The baronial magnificence and wide hospitality for which the early knights^of Roslin were renowned are said to have been exceeded by Sir William St. Clair, 3d Earl of Oi-kney, in the reigns of James I. and II. Father Hay, a member of his household, speaks of him '^ as a prince" who maintained his state " at his palace of the castle of Roslin," where *' he kept a great court, and was royally served at his own table, in vessels of gold and silver ; Lord Dirleton being his master of the household, Lord Borthwick his cup bearer, and Lord Fleming his car\'er ; in whose absence they had deputies to attend, viz: Stewart, laird of Drumlaurig; Tweedie, laird of Dumferline; and Sandilands, laird of Calder. He had his halls and other apart- ments richly adorned with embroidered hangings. His princess, Elizabeth Douglass, was sei-ved by 75 gentlewomen, whereof 53 were daughters of noblemen, all clothed in velvet and silks, with their •m^^ ! I 88 WILLIAM ST. CLAIB, OF R08UN CASTLE. [47 chains of gold and other ornaments, and was attended by 200 riding gentlemen in all jonmies ; and if it happened to be dark when she went to Edinburgh, where her lodgings were at the foot of Black Fryars wynd, 80 lighted torches were carried before her." But to-day how changed the scene, where the *' lordly line of St. Clairs " fared so sumptuously. The castle is situated on a projecting rock overlooking the beautiful valley of the river Eske, and is reached by a bridge over a deep chasm in the rock. It is now in ruins, but all parts are visible, and some apartments are in fair preservation. Through narrow apertures in the wall one can look forth u<)on the charming scenery in the valley beneath. There can still be seen the kitchen of the castle, but the menu, and the accom- modations for its preparation, were rude compared with those of mod- em establishments. Roslin Chapel, situated upon a higher elevation, is only a short distance from the castle. It was founded, as stated, in 1446, and is one of the most remarkable specimens of Gothic architecture in Scot- land. The carvings on roof and pillar are simply wonderful. The barons of Roslin, clad in armor, lie buried beneath the pavement of the chapel. It was a superstition that the chapel appeared in flames on the night before the death of any of the family of its lordly owners. As Sir Walter Scott has beautifully written in '^The Lay of the Last Minstrel" : " O'er Roslin all that dreary niirht A wondroaB blaze was seen to cieam : 'T was broader than the watoh-nre light. And redder than the brtsht moonbeam. It glared on Roslin^ castled rook. It ruddled all the corpse-wood glen; 'TwaS seen from Dryden's groves of oak. And seen from oaverned Hawthomden.

ARTHUR ST. CLAIR, A GENERAL IN THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION. The statements concerning his pedigree and the date of his birth have long been indefinite and uncertain, and lie apparently left no papers or statements which woul^ throw light upon tliis subject. A long correspondence with bis descendants has failed to solve the problem. The general statement in history that he was bom in 1734, mentioning no month or day, is indefinite and unsatisfactory. An examination of public records in Thurso, Scotland, the place of his birth, fails to reveal any reference to the birth of any Arthur St. Clair, but by a personal corresponden'^ and a consultation of the most valuable work, ''Notes on Caithness Family History," by John Henderson, W. S., published by David Douglas in Kdinburgh, Scotland, in 1884, I have found what appears to be, and which is accepted as, the correct date, and which establishes his line of descent. Sinclair and St. Clair are different forms of the same name, and both were often used in connection with the same person. In searching the Kirk session books of Thurso was found this entry: ''On the 24th of March, 1736, William Sinclair, merchant in town, bad his son Arthur (who was bom about five o'clock of the preceding day) baptized by the Rev. William Innes, minister here."- That would make the date of his birth to be March 23, 1736. In a personal letter from Rev. J. Stewart Miller of Thurso, dated July 2, 1891, he gives the date, and says "he had a brother James bora in 1738." " His mother's name was probably Murray." His great-granddaughter, Mrs. Rachel St. Clair Jacoby of Sumney- town, Pa., in a personal letter, dated Nov. 11, 1891, says: "Gen. Arthur St. Clair was very nearly related to the Balfours. Margaret Balfour has always| been a family name with us." By the pedigree which is now accepted. General St. Clair's great-grandfather, James Sinclair, second of Assery, married Elizabeth Balfour for his first wife. General St. Clair was not a grandson of the then Earl of Roslin as is stated in Appleton's Cydoptedia of American Biography, Vol. 5, p. 368, and in other works, as none then existed, but he was a relative, descended from a common ancestor. The earldom of Roslin was not created till 1801, when it was confeiTed on Alexander Wedder- bum, who was bora in 1733, a little before the birth of St. Clair. (See William Anderson's Scottish Nation, Vol. 3, p. 373, for Earls of Roslin.) He was not a son of any of the Lords Sinclair, as that title remained dormant from 1723 to 1782. (Anderson's Scottish Nation, Vol. 3, p. 459.) Upon this subject Rev. William Sinclair, of the Ulbster branch of the family. Chaplain to Her Majesty the Queen, says in a letter dated The Chapter House, St. Paul's Cathedral, London, Eng., March b, 1890 : "The statement that General St. Clair was a grandson of the Earl of Roslin is absurd, because there was at that time no Earl of Roslin ; the ancient Lords of Roslin were then on the point of dying out in the person of a bachelor.

II., a number of Sinclaira appeared in recorded Si'otch history; their names were mentioned merely, and they tlien disappeared. It is probable that John of Kxeter was one of them ; that he left the country of his nativity where the accident of birth and the law of the land gave to the eldest son all the estates of their father, and where the "unfortunate younger sons" usually became wadsetters, i. e., small tenant farmers on leased lands under their elder broUier, to seek a home which would lie his own in free America, where the law of primogeniture did not prevail.

II.,) visited the (ieneral in Pennsylvania, and the relationship Itetween them was discussed, and decided l)y them, that they were lelatives — "cousins" of a ivmote degree: of what degree they did not state to their relatives. James St. Clair, of Albion, N. Y., was a deHcendant of the fifth generation rem<»ved from John Sinklei- (James St. Clair*, Thomas* Joseph*, James*, John Sinkler' of Kxe- ter, N. II.), who was in Kxeter, N. II., as early as IBftH, and who wab lK)rn probably alnmt 1B12. It is at alKHit this (loint that we must look for the connection k*- tween the branches. The relationship probably existed not in the direct line, or through the elder son, Init through some one of the younger sons of the house of Murkle, or the allied branches.! It would be with the father of John Sinkler of Kxeter that the connection would be made with the present stock In Scotland, nix (ffiierationf from .lames St. Clair of Albion, N. Y. By running (ien- eral St. Clair's line back six or seven generations, on his line of de- scent, one must come near the pbint of union of the lines. Hy this we reach his ancestor, .lames Siiicrlair, Hrst of Mnrkle, a son of John Sinclair, Master of Caithness. By running James St. Clair, on his ancestral line, we reach the father of John Sinkler of Kxeter, whose name we seek. In consulting "Notes on Caithness Family History" we find that John Sinclair, Master of Caithness, had a son, Henry Sinclair, who was brother of .lames Sinclair, first of Murkle, ancestor of Gen. Arthur, six generations removed. (See Nos. 74. 76, 75), p. 41.) * The SInclaIrs of County Caithness, Scotland, were one of the most im- portant branches, as well as one of the largest, of tbe family. They lived in many difliBrent towns and parishes. In Scotland branches of the Sin- clairs lived at Koslin, Ilerinandston, Assery, Murkle, Atihingate, Newton, Barrock, Borlum, Shum, Brabstordoran, Dun, Dunbeath, Latheron, Dur- ran, Forss, Fusurolc, Ginse.

They mar- ried and intermarried In every direction, making it perplexing to the gen- ealogist. fSembers of the Sinclair family will find the following works of great and special value on the history of tbe Sinclair or St. Clair family : ^' Notes on Caithness Family History " ; By John Henderson, W.

Henry Sinclair "got a conveyance from his brother, Earl George, of part'of the lands of Borrowstone and Lybster with the ' miln and fishings,' and he made a reversion of them to the Earl, Sept. 23, 1606. He died of paralysis while besieging the castle of Kirkwall in 1614. By his wife, Janet Sutherland, he had a son John, and he is probably the ancestor of a family of Sinclars of Lybster, who occur as wad- setters of these lands down to 1670." On page 144 of this same book is the statement, " Before the rise of the Sinclairs of Lybster in Latheron, there were Sinclairs of Lybster in Reay, dating from at least 1636. Their origin is uncertain, but it is conjectured that they may have been the descendants of Henry Sinclair, who died about 1614. A natural son of John, Master of Caithness, and who got from his brother, the Earl of Caithness, a wadset of Down Reay and part of Lybster. Oi- possibly this family may have been of the Sinclairs of Dunbeath, who held Down Reay and other lands in Reay." This second statement throws some doubt on the first, and I have been unable to find any farther record of him than the preceding — and he disappears from Scottish history. What could be more natural than that this John Sinclair should leave Scotland and, seeking a new land, should appear in Exeter, N. H. Some almost assert it to be a fact, and that this John Sinclair and John of Exeter are one and the same. If correct, this would verify the statement of General St. Clair and James St. Clan- that they were distant cousins (which would make them fifth cousins), and place the bond of union at the place where we would naturally look for it and where it must probably exist. It would make them both.

And what does this signify ? It proclaims the curious genealogical fact which every dis- cerning family historian has not failed to see, that the mental and physical characteristics of a family are often transmitted for many generations, and for centuries. The similarity of christian names existing among the Sinclairs of Caithness and the Sinclairs of the New World will not fail to be noticed. There were the Johns, the Jameses, the Richards, the Davids, the Janets, and many others in Caithness which were transplanted to the shores of New Hampshire, and have been honorably borne even to the present by the descendants of John Sinkler of Exeter. Upon this subject the Hon. Charles Henry St. Clair of Morgan City, La., a great great-grandson of the James St. Clair of Albion, N. v., BO often referred to, and one who has given this matter a great deal of time and vast research, says : "I feel certain that John of Exeter, N. H., was that John who was son of Henry, who died of paralysis before Kirkwall and Janet Sutherland, his wife. I am convinced and shall search no longer." Then he alludes to the busi- ness of the family of Henry in Sbotland — farming and fishing — and the business of John, his son in Exeter — which was the same. Henry had leased from his brother. Earl George, lands of Borrows- town and Lybster, with '' miln and fishings," and throws up a part of it in 1606, and a part of the Sinclair family hold this down to 1670, and are supposed to belong to the stock of Henry. Our John probably quits Lybster Reay, goes to Edinburgh, marries Mary — and turns up in Exeter, N. H., in 1658, and has there a/re« fishing besides his farm. He alludes to the personal looks and appearance, and mental characteristics of the Scotch and American Sinclairs, which are remarkably alike. The Hon. Charles Hem-y St. Clair.again says: ''In the year 1816 James St. Clair was living with his son James, Jr., in Albion, Orleans Co., New York." In recommitting to his relatives the history of bis family he said : "Our first ancestor in America was named John, he came to America from near Edinburgh, Scotland. His father's name was Henry, he was a farmer. We are related to'Gren. Arthur St. Clair, and I am going to pay him a visit." The visit was made in 1816 ; the General was then living at Chestnut Ridge, Pa. He was gone four months, three of which were spent with the General, whom he helped to save his crops, and with whom he had long talks as to their relationship and family geneal(^y. On his return he reported these things to his family, and from that time wrote his name St. Claii' instead of Sinclair, this being the first knowledge he had that the real and true name was St. Clair. In personal appearance (as described by those who knew him) this James St. Clair would have 48 PEDIGSEE OF JOHK SUTHERLAND SINCLAIR.

Mr. St. Clair and others searched by correspondence and other ways for five years in the United States, Canada, Scotland, England, Ireland, and France to find the point of nnion of the Exeter immi- grant with the parent stock, without success. At length, in answer to a letter of inquiry, Hon. John S. Sinclair, the present Earl of Caithness, of Lakota, North Dakota, loaned to the author of this work and to Mr. St. Clair his book, "Notes on the Caithness Family History." The information gleaned from that is now liefore the family and the general reader.* This closes the history of the pedigree of John Sinkler of Exeter, N. H.

Count Ml <■< 'in Sinclair of Sweden was an ambassador to the Porte during the reign of Empress Catherine, and died by violence. Sinclairs have been in high positions in Russia, Germany, and Noi-way, and representatives of the family are living there to-day. Rev. JohnSinclair was a prominent figure at the siege of London- derry, Ireland, 1688-'8y, and there is a family, resident in the Emer- ald Isle, for more than 200 years of position and influence. In Australia, Africa, and America are offshoots of the same stock. In Scotland the name has long been famous, before and since the founding of Roslin Castle, and members of the family have been lords of Roslin, dukea of Oldenburg in Denmark, nobles of Noi-way, princes of Orkney and Shetland, and earls of Caithness. A chevalier Von Sinclair was distinguished as a dramatist in Ger- many. Cardinal Hugo Sancto Claro, who in the 13th century flourished greatly, first put the Bible into verses and was the author of one of the ablest and longest commentaries upon it, was of this blood, though his name is slightly changed by its Italian form. From 1600 to 1622 in the University of Paris David Sinclaur was one of its most noted professors in mathematics. In the old hive of the family, Normandy, in recent times, have been noted persons of the lineage, but in all characteristics entirely French. Charles Ferdinand, Baron de St. Clair in 1820, was a colo- nel of cavalry, and loyal to the Bourbon prince. His military career was remarkable, having been wounded eighteen times during twenty- three years' service, and had gained many decorations. His papers are published in book form.^ Thus this family, never so numerous or prolific as some others, yet its members widely scattered, have occupied elevated positions and exerted commanding influence. The history of the Sinclairs now passes from the Old World to the New. In the preceding pages the names St. T'lair, or Sinclair, have been largely used interehang^ably, as they were »o found in the authorities consulted. Often both forms of the name were employed in relation to the same individual. m ^9 1 64 SINCLAIRS m THE NKW WORLD. CHAPTKR V.

Enough has already been giVen to show the origin of this knightly family ; the part its valiant members took when they with William the Conqueror invaded England and helped to siibtUie it. The sub- seqnent career of these Norman Sinclair warriors has been briefly told, and passing glimpses have been hurriedly caught upon other soil than that of Normandy of their descendants. The princely domains of the Sinclairs in various countries, their homes in feudal castles in England and Scotland, and other lands of vastness, and wonderful strength have been noted and described; and many of the illustrious ones of this race in these countries, with their notable deeds, have been alluded to during the eight hundred years succeeding the Conquest. It will now be well to turn from the parent families in Europe, whose members have been so familiar with rulera, and mingled so freely in royal courts and in the din of anns, to offshoots of this same race, planted upon American soil, brought up under American skies, developetl and broadened under the enlightening and broaden- ing influence of American institutions, and who have become Amer- icans. Their career in a different sphere under different circumstances has been as honorable as that of members of the parent stock, and more beneficial to their brethen, — who are all mankind. For two hundred and thirty years the American Sinclairs have in various ways, as citizens, as gallant soldiers in all wars, as brave, hardy pioneers planting civilization in the waste places of the land, and laying deep and broad the foundation for prosperous communities, have aided in building and developing the great Republic, and as true and loyal citizens they live to-day in all parts of this Western Hemisphere. m D. lERICA. — SINCLAIRS TRs Keoular Army ikPHT OF THK Name.

FIRST SINCLAIRS IN AMERICA. 56 Since America was first settled by Europeans many persons by the name of Sinclair or St. Clair have come to these shores. Pievious to the year A. I). 1700, however, their coming was as rare as angel's visits. Very few of the family were in the country at the time of the American Revolution, and they were largely the descendants of a few individuals who had settled here a long time previously. From that date up to 1840 individuals of the family occasionally sought a home on this side of the blue sea. Since 1«40, or within fifty years, there have been repeated immigrations of individuals bear- ing this patronymic, and they and their descendants are now found in all our large cities, and also scattered into all sections of the country. Yet, considering the density and numbers of the popula- tion, it never has been, and is not now, very numerous in America. From authentic sources the following list has been prepared of Sin- clairs who were early in America, with the time of their departure from the Old World, or the year of their appearance in tlie New : Salamon Sinclare* was among the passengers in the ship John and Sara, which sailed from London for America. John Slnkler was In Exeter, N. H., where his son, James SInkler, was born July 27, 1060, and his son John and other children soon after that date.

ORTHOGRAPHY OF THE NAME. The authoritative manner of writing or spelling the name is Saint Clair, or its contraction St. Clair. The name of the earliest known immigrant to America of the family was spelled Sinclare, the second Sinkler, the tliird Sinklaire. The name of the New Hampshire fam- ily was called and spelled Sinkler, and so was a Virginia family which appeared nearly a century after. At the present time the Sinkler form of writing it has almost entirely disappeared, although in does still prevail among representatives of one branch of the fam- ily in Virginia. Within half a century many of the descendants of the first Sinklers, living in various portions of the country, have changed their name to St. Clair or Sinclair, and in some instances have written it Sinclear and Sincleare. At the present time these various forms are generally understood to be the same patronymic, and the maniler of writing and pronouncing it have become largely a matter of individual taste. Indeed, in public documents, the same individual's name frequently appears in each form. In the Directory of London, England, both names are inserted under the heading "Sinclair, St. Clair." Saint Clare, Saint Clair, or its contraction St. Clair, was the origi- nal orthography as it came from the martyr Saint Clare, the hermit on the shore of the Kpte. He was the first St. Clair.

SINKLER. JOHN SINKLER OF BXETBR, N. H., 1658, AND HIS DEMCENUANT8.— ORTHOO- RAI'HY OP THEIR NAME, ANI> ITS CHANGES BY DirrERENT BRANCHES OF HIS DESCENDANTS. The name was spelled phonetically. In New Hampshire John Sinkler, the early settler in Kxeter, in I6.1H, spelled his name Sinkler, and this was the usual method for a long period. The same is true of the Sinklers of Virginia, and of Robert Sinkler (perhaps a son of John of Kxeter), who was in Wells, Me., in 1714, and among his early descendants. John Sinkler' of Kxeter wrote his name Sinkler, or it was written for him in many instances. James Sinkler^ on a t)etition Jan. 14, 1715-16, signed his name James Sinkler. .lohn Sinkler* of Stratham, N. H., son of James*, on same petition signed his name Sinkler. Kbenezer Sinkler*, another son, on July 18, 1744, signed his name to a petition in the same manner. Richard Sinklei**, another son, of Stratham, signed a remonstrance July 26, 1744, in the usual way. Samuel Sinkler* of Newmarket, N. H., Nov. 21, 1746, affixed his name to a petition in like manner. Joseph Sinkler*, son of James*, then of Newmarket, aftei-ward Pembroke, N. H., June 5, 1745, appends his name to a document as Sinclare. He signs a petition with Samuel Sinkler and others Nov. 21, 1746, as Joseph Sinkler. In a petition from Buckstreet, after- ward Pembroke, in 175H, when he signed a petition with his sons, John, later of Essex, Vt., and Thomas, later of Sanbomtou (the father of James Sinclair of Barre, N. Y.), he and John append their names as Sinkler, while Thomas signs as Sinckler. He signs another petition Sept. 3, 1767, from Pembroke, as Joseph Sinkler. FIRST APPEARANCE OP CORRECT ORTHOGRAPHY.

The descendants of his brothers Thomas and Zebulon of Meredith, the most of those of Benjamin in Hardwick, Vt., and of his uncle John Sinclair of Essex, Vt., spell their name Sinclair ; while the descendants of his cousins, Jacob Sinclair of New Hampton and Noah Sinclair of Canterbury, usually style themselves St. Clair.

Ttiis vrai probably to the same person, — John Sinkler' had passed away pre- vious to Sept. 14, 1700, when hit) will was proven. His son John Sinkler^ then was living in Exeter. The latter had a son John Sink- ler*, also of Exeter. In 1725 a committee appointed by the town of Exeter prepared a list of the residents of the town with the amount of public land allotted to each individual. The following is what relates to thid family : 100 acres to John Sinkler, Sr., in 1725. This w^as to John Sinkler', son of John'. 30 acres to John Sinkler, Jr., in 1725. This was John Sinkler*, son of John Sinkler^', Sr., the only John Sinkler living in Exeter. Stratham had been set off from Exeter in 1716, and Capt. John Sinkler*, son of James Sinkler', was then a resident of that town. 100 acres to James Sinkler in 1723. This was James', son of John', the only James Sinkler of the family at that date. 40 acres to Joseph Sinkler in 172.5. This was Joseph Sinkler*, son of James, as shown in the latter's will. He was of Exeter. The parish of New- market was set off from Exetek .^nd incorporated Dee. 15, 1727 He was a resident of what is now South Newmarket about 1731, when he, and his sons Thomas and John, and others removed to Pembroke, N. H. 40 acres to Richard Sinkler in 1725. This was Richard Sinkler*, son of James', as shown by the wiU'of the latter. He was then of Exeter, but was married soon after, on June 21, 1728, and settled in Stratham, where he died July 9, 1751. 40 acres to Samuel Sinkler in 1725. It is uncertain which Samuel Sinkler this was. There were two Samuels then in Exeter : Samuel*, son of John', and his cousin Saumel*, son of James Sinkler'., Thus far six hundred and thii-ty-five acres of land bad been be- stowed by the town upon members of the Sinkler family. Ceilainly not an amount to be complained of. It will be noticed that many grants of land to this family occurred in 1725, when a committee of the town reported this amount as belonging to these parties, as their proportion in the final distribution of the public lands of Exeter. But this distribution did not actually occur till several years later. i. fj. i CHARACTERISTICS OP THE SINCLAIRS OF NEW HAMPSHIRE AND THEIR DESCENDANTS.

They were familiar with the lore of the hills and the woods, and never shunned hardship or fatigue. They had strong physiques, stalwart frames, great powers of endurance, feared not danger, were ardently fond of athletic sports and feats of strength or skill. They had much mechanical know^ledgc which was always employed in the development of new communitias, and towns, and states. They also had the faculty of being practical, and could, and would, turn their minds and hands to any necessary employment. In truth, it has during its nearly 250 years residence in this country been an eminently practical family. They have loved the actinties and rush of private life, and the exper- iences of a frontiersman much better than books, much more than the studies of the scholar, or than the achievements of professional life. Always have they been intensely patriotic. They loved the military profession. In every war since they came to America, they have been among the first in the fray, and the last to quit. Their sacrifices have been great, and members of the race have sometimes given life itself for their king and country; and later to establish the Republic, and then to preserve it.

H., AND HIS DESCENDANTS.* In the early spring of 1638 a small company of in-voluutary emigrants from Massachusetts appeared in the wilderness about the Falls of Squamscott in New Hampshire, and erected their humble habitations and made their homes. Unlike many in the two previ- ously formed settlements in the state, they did not come from motives of worldly greed, but for the precious privilege of entertaining their own religious tenets, and worshipping Got! in confov . 'ty with them, and not in accordance with the opinions and practici. > permitted by the powers, civil and religious — mainly one — which existed in Massa- chusetts Bay. This made the third organized community in the state ; the place was Exeter, and the settlers were Rev. John Wheelwright, who had been disfranchised and expelled from Massachusetts, and his loving followers. This community was continually increasing in numbers and importance by the addition of people from older places, and from the old world. THE COMING OF JOHN SINKLER. 1. John SinklerS the founder of the Exeter, N. H., family of this name, appeared in that place, seeking liberty, fortune, and a home, in a score of yeai*s after its establishment. He is the second known person of this patronymic to land upon American soil. He was an offshoot of one of the oldest, strongest, and most renowned families of Great Britain, whose lineage goes back through centuries of history to the sunny land of France, to the castles of St. Clere and St. Lo, and the historic bank of the river Epte, and still faither to the misty North-land. Members of his stock had been famous iu lands filled with illustrious men. The settlement was weak, to which had come this scion of an illus- trious family. Mr. Sinkler appeared in Exeter as early as 1658, for on Jan. 6, 1659, he purchased ten acres of land, and is mentioned in the deed as of Exeter. The following is a copy of the instrument, and is the first deed of land to John Sinkler. It is found upon the Old Norfolk County Records, at Salem, Mass. : • See his pedigree, preceding No. 70a, t>age 42, and aucceeding No. 90, page 44. p=«i«t«:- I. ) 66 Ent : ft Record in y* 23d: 8th m", 1661 JOHN SIMKLER, OF EXETER, N.

Even in the new settlement the subject of this sketch did not escape the common trials of humanity. Emigrants from other lands brought their selfish desires with them to the new abode. Their hope for the betterment of self was often at the neglect, and sometimes at the sacrifice, of the rights of others. All were not good neighbors then any more than now, which this eai'ly resident found to his sorrow. As there was trouble about boundaries, two of his neighbors agreed to the following : Know all mei; by these prsents that Leiftenant Hall A John Warrin have agreed that the line that is between Leiftenant Hall and John Sincler, which land John Warren sold to John Sincler, is and shall run from a tree that is fallen a little way of John Sinclers fence, showed this day to Mr. Dudley, John Gierke and William More, and so to run on a strait lyne to a white oake marked, and so to the extent of the bounds, between Leif- -, ,il£^4itefc'ft»*'' H.

The following Is found, on June «, 1G82 : It is ordered and enacted by the Selectment of Exeter that Leiftenant Hall and Kingsley Hall have granted to them liberty to erect a gate or a a paire of barrs anywhere between John Sinclers and Robert Rowells, upon condition that the gate or barrs be made wide enough that a cart and teame to passe currouitly, and make a stile for foot men cross the highway .

Like all good citizens, he was interested in the wclfai-e, the success, safety, and prosperity of the institutions of government under which he lived, and which afforded protection to all. So, on Nov. 30, 1677, "John Sinkler took oath of allegiance to his Majestic and fidelity to y* country." Land was abundant, and easily obtained as grants from the commons belonging to the town. The first residents of Exeter fre- quently made application for this, and these grants were frequently voted if) them by the freeholders in town meeting assembled. On April 6, 1678, John Sinkler's name appears among the list of applicants. He was a sturdy man, with fi-ugality, pluck, and persistence. He strove to add to his worldly possessions. He purchased Dec. 6, 1678, twenty acres of upland in Exeter of David and Elizabeth Robinson. They agi-eed that "s* John Sinckler shall have y* liberty of free ingress, egress, and regress, to y* twenty acres of land through any part of s** Robinson's vacant land." On Jan. 23, 1680, Exeter granted him twenty acres. The pioneer was prosperous. His acreage was enlarged from year to year ; his resouroes multiplied. But he owed duties to the state and town, whose laws like a protecting canopy were over him, and as a mantle covered him, and gave protection. These duties he did not and could not evade, and was obliged to contribute of his substance for the support of the government. 68 JOHN 8IMKLER, OF EXETER, N. H.

The separation of New Hampshii-e from Massachusetts and its erection into a separate province, when its government went into operation January, 1680, was due mainly to the solicitation, and was largely for the benefit of Robert Mason, the heir of John Mason, the patentee of New Hampshire, who claimed New Hampshire soil as his inherited property. Accordingly, at the request of Robert Mason, Eldward Cranfield, a stranger to the inhabitants, and a despotic, arbitrary man, was appointed governor and hia administration com- menced in October, 1683. His acts were oppressive, and he was held in utter detestation by the people. A small rebellion broke forth in Exeter. Some of the participants were tried for treason, but were afterward pardoned by the king. Public feeling ran high at this period, and a strong petition was gotten up against him which was signed by John Sinkler. His name appears on a petition Feb. 20, 1689-90, to the government. The petitioners prayed for protec- tion against the common enemy (the Indians) and that the military officera of the train soldiers should be chosen by the soldiers of the respective towns. A fac-simile is given of the signature to this petition, although there is doubt of its being a genuine autograph : U^M^ \m\ It is not likely that John Sinkler held any public office, as the records make no such disclosure. This closes the public history, as fully as it can be gleaned from scanty records, of this pioneer of Exeter. He was one of the earliest settlers in the state, and his history has never before been written. He was the first generation of his family in a new country, and the progenitor of a family of pioneers, in many generations. He was the founder of the Sinkler family in New Hampshire, the membera of whose divetging lines, as apparent by this book, are numerous ^a * Msssaohusetts Archives, Vol. 3S, p. 228, to be found in the State House, State Department, Boston, Mass.

He was jshire, the members }k, are numerous ^a id in the State House, the sands on the shore of the sea, and are scattered widely over the earth. Tlie knowledge of his traits of character, the varying quali- ities of his mind have passed into oblivion. That lie took an interest in municipal and state affairs is plainly evident. That he was not untrue to tlie sturdy blood which flowed in his veins, and to the love of liberty which he had inherited from a brave ancestry, is evidenced by his signing the vigorous protest against the tyrannical acts of Governor Cranfleld. That he was frugal, industrious, and energetic, is shown by his successful accumulation of this ^irorld's goods, with which to cheer and bless himself and his family, not only in the tried maturity of their powers, but "in the sers and yellow leaf" of life. His abode was on Wheelwright's creek*. Of his home life and domestic relations little is known. He was bom in Scotland, probably about 1630, as be was in Exeter and owned land in 16.59, and was married about that time, as is apparent by the record of bis children. He m. Mary , who was living on the 27th of April, 1667, and hor death did not probably occur for many years afterward. He m. 2d, Deborah . She was a good business manager, as she made a business contract with Mr. Sinkler before their marriage. She was a Christian and a member of the church in Hampton, N. H. After the withdrawal of Rev. Mr. Wheelwright and his followers to Wells, Me., about 1642, and the assumption of Jurisdiction over New Hampshire by Massachusetts, there was no church organized in Exeter for several years, and for six years they were without preach- ing. Though regular services were held after 1660, yet many of the residents connected themselves with the church in Hampton and other towns. This may explain the fact of Mrs. Sinkler's membership of the church of that town. In 1698 (Sept. 11), upon the formation of the First Congregational churoh, thirteen persons were "dismissed in order to their being incorporated into a church state in Exeter." (Hampton Records.) Among them was Mrs. Deborah Sinkler. She was living Jan. 7, 1699-1700, and the time of her death is unknown. John Sinkler, on Jan. 7, 1699-1700, "being sick of body but of sound & perfect minde and memory," for which he expressed devout thankfulness, did make his last will and testament, which is here given. It was admitted to the Probate Court Sept. 14, 1700, showing that he died between the above dates. He was probably buried, with many others of the earliest siettlers in the earliest cemetery, on the "north western slope of meeting bouse hill," in Exeter, near the site of the first meeting-house. There are no memorial stones to mark the resting places of the quiet sleepers. For one hundred and ninety- four years he has rested in " The lone oouota of his everlasting sleep." Thus closes the history of this early settler of New Hampshire. * This is a small creek in the eastern part of Exeter, upon whose banks many of the early residents lived. Its head is above the water works. The overflow of the reservoir flows into it, then into the Sqoamsoott river, and later into the Atlantic ocean. !i .; ' :li ITT /^ 70' WILL OF JOHN 81NKLKR, 8BNR.

He wbh born in Kxeter, N. 11., July 27, IfifiO, and there wan always hiB home. It wbb near "Wheal Right's creek," and he coiled himself husbandman. With the inter- ests of his native town lie was closely identified and was a loyal citizen of the stote. At the early age of 16 years he rendered mili- tary service in King Philip's war, in Capt. John Holbrook's company. He took the oath of allegiance to the state Nov. HO, 1677. In 16H2, April 13, his province rate In Kxeter was Is 6d. He signed tt i)aper protesting against the course of the despotic Governor Cran- field, whose tyrannical acts raised a storm of Indignation In the state. Like his father and brother, he signed a petition Feb. 20, 1689-90, to the " Bay Government," asking protection against the common enemy, and asking that the privilege of electing their own otHcers might be accorded to the trained soldleiu of the respective towns. This Is a fac-slmlle of his autograph as it appears upon the peti- tion. (Mass. Archives, Vol. 35, p. 228.) He was constable of Exeter In 1694 and In 1697, and was juryman at the Superior Court In Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 10, 1703; was selectman of Exeter In 1695, 1700, 1706, and 1721. He was a sol- dier, and his account of allowance for personal services at Newbury blockhouses In 1704 was £2 18s 6d. From 1702 to April 11, 1713, "Queen Anne's War" kept New England in a continual ferment, and the New Hampshire colony was in constant unrest and fear, and suffered severely. The French and Indians bung like fearful clouds about her Infant settlements. They pillaged, destroyed the crops, committed vast numbers of dwellings to the flames, massacred the Inhabitants, or carried those away who escaped the scalping knife and tomahawk into a captivity so wretched and dark as to be almost worse than death. Men took their weapoas to the fields for protection when they went about their daily toll. Exeter, the home of the Sinklers, had been marked by the enemy for destruction. Only the accidental discovery of the Indians as they lay In- ambush prevented a general destruction of lives and property. ■ i 72 WrXL or JAMK8 SINKLER.

Being prosperous and increased in goods, he puiphased house and lands in Exeter of Alexander Magoon, Feb. 9, 1726.

John Sinkler was born in £xeter, N. H., about 1690, and presumably the eldest child of his parents. In his father's will he is the first child mentioned, and as he received by its provisions only a slight legacy, it indicates that he had previously received his inheritance. On the "Squamscott Patent " he was early a settler. This tract was incorporated into a town called Stratham March 14, 1715-16. He and his wife deeded land there the following year. Stratham, by its act of incorporation, was to see ' ' that a meeting house be built on the King's great road leading from Greenland to Exeter," and was "obliged to have a learned Authordox Minist' to preach in said meeting house within one year from y* date hereof." Mr. Sinkler was chosen one of a committee to secure the minister, and also to " set off" the pews. He served as selectman in 1720, '21, '22, '23, '24. He was elected constable in 1726, but as this position did not satisfy his longings for place and power, or for some other reason, he declined. Ol June 17, 1727, he bought land in Bow, near what is now Pembroke. Was again selectman in 1728, '29, '31, '32, and in 1729 was on the com- mittee "•to seat the meeting house," and on July 13, 1730, he helped to give his brother, Richard Sinkler, his place "in the great congrega- tion." He was a large dealer in real estate. The people of Stratham were called to the place of worship by a bell in the belfry of the meeting-house. Its sonorous tones had for years summoned them at the hours for prayer and praise. It be- came damaged and no longer sent forth peals to delight the ears of the worshippers as they wended their way to the sanctuary. So at a town meeting Jan. 18, 1733, Mr. Sinkler was chosen one of a com- mittee to take down the broken bell and to send it to " Lundon to ue New Cast Again." From 1733 to '36 he was in the retirement of private life and in the enjoyments of the fireside and the domestic circle. In 1736, '37, '39, '40, and '42 he ser\'ed as assessor. In 1739 'n 's called Lefu John Sinkler. At this periwl he was a vigorous protestai t against tlie religious legislation of Stratham, which broke in upon the ostabiisbed order o' religious worship; whi- h weakened and divided the church, and lessened the good which might arise from the labors of the regular minister, Rev. Henry Rust. He is called John Sinkler, GentU'.maii , April 13, 1743. We know nothii^; of " is military career, but he is at length called Capt. John Sinkler. liat the active life of Mr. Sinkler drew to a close, and he died in Stratham Sept. 16, 1745. N. H. [24 in her father's will legacy by her father .

H. 77 His home was on the " King's Road," and it was sold in 1741) to Josepli Jewett and Mr. Piumonl. The place was occupied by Mr. Jewett, and iu IHHlt remains in the possession of his family. The Sinkler barn is still standing, but the other buildings have disap-* peared'. In regard to Mr. Sinkler tradition has died out. As a living per- sonality he has jiunc forever from the minds of men. But of his mental traits, of the underlying principles which were the basis oi his character, we can estimate by looking at his actions, the causes he espoused, the side of great moral questions upon which he arrayed himself, and the public positions which he filled. In all of these he was ever upon the right side, and acted the part of a trae man. Such was this early settler of Stratham. He married Mrs. Anne (Chase) Wiggin, widow of Bradstreet Wiggin. She surs-ived him and was living Feb. 24, 1753. It is probable that in their early married life they attended church at Hampton, N. H., as the only record of the births of their children is upon the records of that town. CHILDREN BORN IN WHAT 18 NOW STRATHAM, ». H. 27. Anna Sinkler*, b. April 15, 1711. 28. Kachel Sinkler*, b.

He was born in Exe- ter, N. H., al)out 1692, as he was of j^e and doing business on March 23, 1714. He was an original in-oprietor of (lilmanton, N. H. By the will of his father he received forty acres of land in Kpping, which he sold to Israel Gilman Jan. 10, 1743-4. (James Sinkler was a witness.) His name is upon a petition relating to au election in Newmarket, dated June u, 1746. I ! 1'! II '■ 41 t U\ ^ 78 JOSEPH 8INKLES, OF PEMBROKE, N. H. [82 Fac-simile of his autograph. The original can be seen on the pe- tition, in the State department, Concord, N. H. He was called "Yeoman," and his home was in what is now South Newmarket, N. H. He and his wife Elizabeth sold their home of forty-two acres in South Newmarket, N. H., on Sept. 12, 1761. This included "Ye house and barn and orchard standing and being on sd land." It bounded and touched "on the west side of Smart's creek." This is the last mention of him in Exeter or Newmarket. The tide of emigration was westward. New lands were being thrown open to settlers, and new settlements were formed. Again, many of the people in this locality became pioneers in the wilderness. Ou April 11, 1750, sixteen months before Joseph Sinkler sold his home in Newmarket, the proprietors of the lands purchased of John Tufton M?«!on, Esq., at a meeting in Portsmouth, N. 11., authorized Thomas Packer "to grant 1000 acres to such persons and on such terms" as he should determine upon. He granted this to various persons on the condition of their settling upon and improving said lands. These settlera laid out the land into lots, which were num- l)ei'ed, and a plan was returned to the proprietors. They divided the laud among themselves. Joseph Sinkler was one of those who took advantage of the offer of the proprietors, and located on Buckstreet, in the town of Pem- broke, soon after the sale of his home in Newmarket, on Sept. 12, 1751. He received a deed of this land, 59 acreb in Lot No. 1, "in the division of land called Buekstreet Lotts," Jan. 14, 1755, and ac- knowledged Oct. 29, 1765. He lived there, near what is now Sun- cook, until April 15, 1761, when he sold this property to his sou John Sinkler. On Sept. 3, 1767, with sixty-three otliers he signed a petition for the appointment of John Bryant as a Justice of the Peace. This is the last time his name appears upon any ascertained record, and as he had reached old age, it is probable that he died about this time. He married Elizabeth, daughter of Thomas Lyford of Exeter, N. H. Her father by his will, admitted to Probate Court Jinie 7, 1727, left a legacy to his "beloved daughter Elizabeth Sinkler." The date of her death is not known. CHILDREN BORN SOUTH NrWHARKET, N. H. 32. ThomaB Sinkler* [58], b. 1721 ; d.

H' probably sei-ved as a scout for three weeks in 1712, as a member of Capt. John Oilman's company. He was a resident of Exeter, N. H., and is called "laborer." On Aug. 28, 1734, for £150 he sold to Lt. Israel Oilman of Exeter all his right "in a 50 acre Orant of land. Oranted to my Honored father James Sinkler, dec'd, by ye town of Exeter on ye Slst day of Jan. 1680, and given to me by my father's will." On Nov. 21, 1746, he signed a petition, with his brother Joseph and his nephew, Thomas Sinkler, for a bridge at Newflelds, now South Newmarket. His name seldom appears upon any record, and he died probably in the latter part of 1747, His wife was Anna , who, on Feb. 7, 1748-9, relinquished her right of administration upon her husband's estate. There is no record nor any eAadence that he left children. 37. Jonathan Sinklei-* [11] (JamesS John*). He was born in Exeter, N. H., about 1700. By his father's will, made July 3, 1731, he only received twenty, shillings, which would show that he had previously received his inheritance. He was a resident of Wells, Me., and was granted by that town fifty acres of upland and ten acres of meadow. He conferred full authority on his father, James Sinkler of Exeter, who sold this land Nov. 6, 1729, to Josiah Winnof Wells. His name drops from view, and upon no document has it been seen after that date, 38. Richard Sinkler* [12] (James', John»), He was born in Exeter, N, H., about 1705, and on May 20, 1727, was one of 215 original proprietors of Oilmanton, N. H. He was a resident of Exeter as late as Sept, 14, 1727, and was evidently in Stratham, N, H,, on June 27, 1728, at the time of his marriage, having cleared up his land and made ready to establish his home. Forty acres of the town commons was laid out to him in 1725. He received land in Stratham from his parents. On Sept. 14, 1727, James Sinkler and his wife Mary, " for love and affection to their beloved son Richard Sinkler of Exeter," deeded him land in Stratham. This was three miles from Exeter, near the Squamscott riA'er, in the westerly part of Stratham. He hewed his farm from the wilderness and made the desert to blossom like the rose. Their home was on the westerly end of Quoboag road, on what is to this day km.wn as the " Sinclair place." It remained in posses- sion of tha family for several generations. "The Sinkler Path," whose tort,uous winding can still be traced, dates back to about 1725, and takes its name from this family. It was long used before the Quoboag road was opened, which gave the Sinklers connection with the main thoroughfare, and was no longer needed. Its crooked track is still seen in the wocxls. It led across the present farm of Col. Richard M. Soammon, and connected the early homes of the Sinklers and S^'amnHMis, who were related. i-A t 1 i 1 li ■ ) il 1 III. 80 RICHARD SINKLER, OF STRATHAM, N. H. [88 Sinkler'B Reach is a straight place in the Squamscott river, and in 1 793 is noted on the map of Strathani. The name of Mr. Sinkler often appears on the records of Stratliani, and he was mnch interested in the religious affairs of the community. His seat in the meeting-house was assigned to him July 13, 1730, and was " in the honid Long front Seat below on y* men's side." He was a firm friend of the settled town minister, Rev. Henry Rust, who had been " settled for life " and was supported by the town, and was bitterly opposed to any movement which disturbed the established order of things, and with others vigorously protested upon several occasions. Church and state were then united, and legislation on the subject divided the people and caused great dis- turbance in the town. He was tything man in 1741, sun'eyor in 1748. On April 5, 1748, he and his wife Catreen sold to David Stevens of Stratham for £100 " all right to the estate of our Honored Father Nathaniel Stevens, deceased, within ye township of Stratham and in ye township of Bow in ye Province abovesaid, and the four acres of land that lies upon Railtimber hill." The marriage of Mr. Sinkler took place June 27, 1728. The partner of his life was Catherine, daughter of Nathaniel and Sarah (Folsom) Stevens*. Mrs. Sinkler sunived her husband many years. The administra- tion of her estate was granted to her son Richard. Mr. Sinkler was in the prime of life when sickness laid its wasting band upon him. He saw the end approaching and he put his house in order. He died July 9, 1751. At his funeral the church bell was tolled. His will was made June 25, 1751 ; admitted to the Probate Court Aug. 27 of the same year. His executors had an allowance from the estate for two sheep killed by wolves ; total value of estate, £2889-10s. * Nathaniel Stevens was of Salisbury, Mass., Exeter, and long a resident of Stratham, N.

He was born in Exeter, N. H., about 1712, and was not of age at the date of his father's will, July 23, 1731. By that document he inherited land in Gilmanton, N. H., which he sold May 18, 1736, to Jonathan Norris of Stratham, N. H. He lived with his brother Ebenezer on Wheel- wright's creek until he was 21 years of age. His home was always in his native town. He was last taxed in 1757. Adversity came upon him and he received public aid. His death occm-red previous to March 26, 1759. Nathan Taylor of Exe- ter dug his grave and tolled the bell of the meeting-house at his fun- eral. His wife was Elizabeth. , who died in 1766 or 1767. There is no allusion to any children upon any document. 53. John Sinkler* [21] (John*, John'), He was born in Exeter, N. H., before June 20, 1708, as he must of been of age June 20, 1729, when he received a deed of one-half of his real estate in Exe- ter, which included '■'■ Siukler's Point." By various sales he had dis- posed of the most, if not all, of this tract by the 11th of December, 1733. He retained his residence in Exeter, and in public documents was called yeoman and husbandman. He was also a seafaring man and is called coaster. His death occurred previous to Sept. 28, 1747, and Nicholas Ferryman was appointed administrator of his estate. The appraisal was taken Dec. 28, 1747, and his real estate consisted of 30 acres. . There is no mention of wife or children. 54. Samuel Sinkler* [22] (Joha*, John'). - He was born previous to 1709, and by his father's will, made Dec. 28, 1730, he was to in- herit, after the decease of his mother, one-half of the homestead on Wheelwright's creek in Exeter, N. H. This was sold by his n^other as executrix of his father's will, and himself as a legatee, to Capt. John Gilman of Exeter Dec. 4, 1734. Mr. Sinkler was one of 215 original proprietora of Gilmanton May 20, 1727. On Dec. 3, 1731, then "of Newmarket in Exeter," sold this land to Matthew Little, which was signed by his wife Sarah (Mattoon) Sinkler. On June 6, 1733, they relinquished to Richard Mattoon of Exeter, for £30, all right to the estate of their honored father, Richard Mattoon of Exeter, deceased. On March 3, 1747- 48, he deeded ten acres to Edward Sinkler, " being in ye Parish of Newmarket in the Town of Exeter," and acknowledged by him Feb. 27, 1758. This is the last reference found to him upon tlie records. The portion of Newmarket in which they lived is now South New- ^ imw^»'*T»p» ^wpjvJM"^ 84 THOMAS 8INKLER, OF HARDWICK, VT. [65 market.

H., in 1721, and was the first of his family in New Hampshire to receive the christian name Thomas, which after him was borne so frequently. His mother's father was Thomas Lyford, so the name is probably accounted for. In Newmarket he made his home for many years, and with his father and Samuel Siukler he signed a petition on the 21st of November, 1746. He located in (Buckstreet) Pembroke, N. H., being there in 1758, as his name appears on a petition with those of his father aad brother John Sinkler. Henceforth his interests were those of a new locality. At this period the people in all the suiTounding country dertved a large part of their living from fishing at Amoskeag Falls, now Man- chester, N. H. In order to protect the fishing interest a lengthy petition was sent to the state government to restrain fishing certain days in the week. This was signed by Mr. Sinkler and was dated July 13, 1764. The Indians had camped at these falls centuries before the advent of the palefaces, and knew their value. The lam- prey eel, so abundant in these waters, has been eulogized by the late poet, William Stark, who speaks of tlieir value to the people of l^erryfield : '* From the eels they formed their food in chief, And eels were called the Derryfleld beef ; It was often said that their only care. And their only wish, and their only prayer, For the present world, and the world to come, Was a string of eels, and a jug of rum." Though his interests were connected with this new abode he retained a business connection with citizens near his early home. On Sept. 21, 1764, he purchased of George Jaflfrey of Portsmouth a farm in " EUonstown," to which he moved. This was sold Dec. 25, same year, to Abner Clough and James Kelsoe of Nottingham, N. H. * Edward and Ebenezer Sinkler appear to be the sons of Samuel Sinkler, and the probabilities are so strong that they have been so arranged.

On May 27, 1757, he l)ought sixty acras of land in Allenstown, N. H., and be was by the conti'act to build a house lit for a family to live in, clear ten acres fit for tillage or mowing, or l)oth, and either he, or some one in his place, was to become an iiiliabitant of Aliens- town. He is probably the Joseph Sinkler of the French and Indian war, in the same company with Richard Sinkler, aftenvards "Col." Richard of Barnstead, N. H., who enlisted in Capt. Jeremiah Mar- ston's company April 20, 1760, and was in the semce as late as July 6, 1760, and probably later. Soon after he w^as a resident in Holderness, N. H., and was made fence-viewer, before its incorporation, at a meeting of the proprie- tors at the house of Mr. John Layn in New Durham, N. H., June 10, 1769. He lived on " South Hill," on a hundi-ed acre lot " numbered 62 in the plan of said townships." This he and his wife Maitha sold to Samuel Livennore, Esq., of Portsmouth, July 23, 1771. He then drops out of the history of Holderness and appears in Sanbornton, N. H., whei-e Thomas Sinkler, his brother, had located three or four years before, and as early as 1768. When the flames of the Revolution broke forth, it found him i-eady for the conflict. On Dec. 16, 1776, then of Sanbornton, he enlisted for the war, and was paid Dec. 31, 1779, for "36 months and 27 days service." He was in Maj. Benjamin Whitcomb's Rangers side by side with his nephew, James Sinkler, who died in Bari'e, N. Y. In 1780, on the Depreciation Rolls, his name appears in Col. Alex- ander Scanunell's Regiment, the 3d N. H. On March 1, 1784, he was still in Whitcomb's Rangers. He resided in SanlK>rnton after the war, and there he died. The administration of bis estate was granted to James Sinkler July 4, 1 792. His wife was Martha .

H., in 173H. He went to "Buck- street" in Pembroke, N. H., as he was but thirteen years of age when his father sold his home in South Newmarket, Sept 12, 1751. On the 1st day of Noveml)er, 1^59, he signed a petition with his father and his brother Thomas, and objected to paying any of the old claims against Pembroke, contracted before Buckstreet became incoiporated with it. /p^ S'4**^.^lg^ A fac-simile of his autograph as appended to a petition in 1758. He purchased his father's home farm April 15, 1761, on which he lived until Nov. 9, 1768, when he sold "one certain messuage or tract of land," "it being the whole of that lot I purchased of my honored father Joseph Sinclair." He then disappeared from Pembroke, and went forth to help found new settlements. That was his mission, and nobly did he fulflU the puipose to which he was appointed. On the indented shores of Lake Winnepisaukee, now known as Wolf borough, N. H., whose bright waters add to New Hampshire's wealth and make her famous, and whose beauties rival those of Loch Lomond or Lake Leman, our settler next makes his home. On the 30th of August, 1769, he pur- chased 86 acres of land there of David Sewall of York, Me. He made repeated purchases and sales of real estate. In this settlement he was a prominent, active, and influential citizen, and often held positions of public trust. The annual town meetings were frequently held at his house, namely in 1771, '73, '74, '75, and '76. He was Selectman in 1771, Clerk in 1773, Moderator in 1778, '80, and '82, Constable in 1779, Surveyor in 1776, '79, and '82, and frequently the Collector of Taxes. He was Auditor in 1774, and Deer Keeper in 1781, and '82. But this did not comprise all his positions of a public nature. He was an inn-holder, and on the 20th of February, 1776, all the training soldiers of Wolf borough met at his house, and he was re-elected Captain. This was one of the "Train Bands." He was mustered into sei-vice as a soldier in Capt. Joseph Chandler's company, Col. Daniel Wyman's regiment, Aug. 10, 1776. On Jan. 29, 1778, he sold to Peter Hodgdon of Kensington, N. Ht, the land 88 JAMES SINKLER, OF EPPINO, N. H. [70 ho boiigiit Aug. HO, 1765, and Dec. i), 176!). Mis last public ap- pcai'RiK'e in Wolflwrougli was on June 3, 17H2, when lie prcHidecl at a special town meeting. He was called "Captain," and "(ientle- nian"on the public records. This closes his career in Wolf borough ; henceforth his history is connected with other settlements. He was swept in with the west-going tide of emigration. He was in Fairlee, Vt., Dec. 1, 17«3, and was in Moretown, Vt., Sept. 24, 1784, when he and his wife Mary sold land in Sanbornton, N. H., to Benjamin Colby of Sanbornton. He was a resident of Essex, Vt., probably in 1788, and certainly by July 1, 1791. There he resided until his death July 19. 1803, aged 65 years, and there his descendants reside unto this day. He married Mary , who died in Kssex, Vt., April 13, 1799, aged 59 years. She was born in 1740. In the burial ground at Essex Center, by the side of Mary his wife, and surrounded by his numerous kindred, and neighbors, and friends of his day and generation, as well as those of later days and gener- ations, to keep him company, with a marble slab above him, with an appropriate inscription, he sleeps well till the day of the great awak- ening. On his tombstone he is called John Sinclair. CHILDREN. 70. Jeremiah SInkler* [173], b. Pembroke, N. H., in 1705 ; res. Essex, Vt., and d. there Nov. 10, 1822. 71. , Samuel Sinkler<» [183], b.

H. 89 carried, with this inscription upon it, "James Sincler his Horn mad at fort cdward Nov. 17, n.^H." It is unique in form and appear- ance, — beautifully cnibclliMhed with artistic^ designs. A battle scene, — the meeting of iu)Htile bands of soldiers with arms in position, and tlie words " Present, Fire." There are sliown incidents of the hun- ter's life in the province forest, — the fleeing deer, and the swiftly pursuing liounds, and the wild turkey flying from the sly, cunning foe. This horn came into the ix>ssession of his son Noah Sinkler of Canterbury, N. H., and has been presei-ved in the family. The Sinkler farm was a small one, of about forty acres, it is said. On Aug. 31, 1754, a highway was laid out by the town of Kpping throiigh his land. His house was the scene of a thrilling adventure. His neighbors, •loscph Smith and wife, one day were walking and carrying their twin children, and when near the Sinkler home they espied a bear, when Mr. Smith dropped his child and ran for his gun. His wife seized the child, and with one under each arm hastened rapidly for the Sin- kler house, with Bruin in hot pursuit^. No sooner had she reached it and closed the lower half of the door, than the bear was there and springing up placed his paws upon it and looked eagerly in. Mrs. Smith seized the long-handled iron shovel and dealt him a fearful blow on the side of the head, w:hich made him retreat to the road, where he sat for a time blinking his eyes, lapping his jaws, and rub- bing his head. After taking time for reflection, he evidently became disgusted at such inhospitable treatment and retreated to the adjoin- ing forests. The site of the old Sinkler home can still be identifled. It is near the Hedding camp-meeting ground, and depot of the Portsmouth & Concord Railroad in Rpping, on or near the place known on the map of Rockingham County as J. «& J. A. Thyng's farm. A short distance from the meeting of two roads, in a small cultivated field of less than one-half of an acre in extent, some two rods from the high- way, there is a depression in the soil. This is the place of the Sin- kler cellar. It was filled up, and yearly, above the ancient home, the crops are grown. The name of Mrs. Sinkler and the dates of their death are not known.

He was a signer of a petition for a bridge at the "Newfticlds" in 1755, and rendered military duty in the French war of the time, being a soldier in the company of Lieut. Hart in the Crown Point expedition, which was previous to March IH, 1757. On April 11), 1758, then of Stratham, he ami his wife Deborah, with Kpbraim (ireen and his wife Abigail, who was probably Abigail Sinkler before marriage, deeded real estate in Kpping, N. H. They were residents of Hampton Falls as early as Feb. 5, 1762, where they lived for several years. He was a signer of a petition there Nov. 21, 1765, of which this is a fac-simile of his autograph : He had fixed convictions upon religious matters, and was a firm adherent of the Presbyterian faith, an attendant and member of the Presbyterian church. The curtain soon after falls upon his history for about twelve years, until it is lifted and reveals him to us again amid the glowing fires of the Revolution. After petitioning the gov- ernment, permission was granted him March 19, 1777, ''to export three hundred bushels of corn from Poitsmouth to Machias." He married Deborah .

Of his brother, Richard Sinkler of Sandwich, he purchased his right in land at " Wall's Cove" in Exeter. in the Revolutionary war he rendered acceptable service. When the Connecticut troops refused to tarry beyond tbeir term of enlist- ment, Dec. 6, 1775, and thus in the face of a strong enemy greatly imperiled the American cause, New Hampshire was called upon for aid, and nobly did she respond. The men of New Hampshire threw themselves into the breach, having enlisted for six weeks, and were called the "six weeks' men." The 30th company of these, on Winter Hill, was from Exeter or vicinity, and " James Sinkler" was 2d lie'itenant of the company. It was commanded by Capt. Peter Coffin, sent to re-enforce Gen. John Sullivan, and was mustered into service at Medford, Mass. He was a captain in Col. .John Waldron's regiment on March 6, 1776, which was stationed at Temple's farm.

Richard Sinklei-^ [50] (Ebenezer*, James',' John»). He was born in Exeter, N. H., about 1740. He was left a minor by the death of his father in 1754, and Gen. Nathaniel Folsom was his guardian. He was a hatter by trade, and a farmer. He was a res- ident of Exeter until after Oct. 15, 1765. The town of Sandwich, N. H., had been granted by Gov. Benuing Wentworth Oct. 25, 1763, in seventy-two shares, and Richard and James Sinkler each secured a share. Very soon after Oct. 15, 1766, Richard Sinkler, the hatter, removed to Sandwich for settlement, and first lived in a log cabin, some twenty rods distant from the large two-story house which he afterwards erected and which is still standing. His wife was an excellent woman, very quiet, calm under all circumstances, took life as it came, and was not much troubled by the vexations of life. Mr. Sinkler was exactly the reverse: nervous, sharp, prompt, and energetic. On one unlucky night the roof of their cabin took fire ; he sprang from his couch, quickly emerged from the domicile, climbed upon the roof and labored mightily to subdue the fiames. Not so his good and worthy spouse ; she did not arise to assist her husband, but occasionally raised her head from the pillow and drowsily inquired, "Father, are you like to put it out?" He suc- ceeded: It was a new settlement. He reclaimed his farm from its natural state. One year his crops had been largely cut off, and they were shortened for the necessaries of life. He went to Exeter, and re- turned afoot, and brought a bushel of meal upon his back. When the Revolutionary war broke forth it found him a patriot, and like 94 RICHARD SINKLER, OF SANDWICH, N. H. [110 Ilia relatives and namesalceB, Col. Richard Sinkler and hia aou, Lt. Richard Sinkler of Baruatead, he too became a aoldier, and ren- dered honorable aervice in behalf of liberty. He signed the Aaaoci- ation Teat in 1776. He waa a private in Capt. Chaae Taylor's com- pany, Col. Thomaa Stickney'a regiment, Gen. John Stark'a brigade, which marched from Sanbornton, N. H., and joined the North- ern Continental Army in 1777. Engaged July 22, and discharged Sept. 29, 1777, he aerved two montha and eight days. The day following hia return he enlisted in Capt. Nathaniel Am- brose's company. Col. Welch's regiment, which marched from Moul- tonborough (two miles from his home) and the adjacent towns, and joined the Continental Army under Gren. Gates at Saratoga, and after the surrender of Gen. Burgoyue marchod with the guard as far as Northampton, Maaa., and waa there diacharged. He waa collector of taxea for the town of Sandwich in 1781 and '90. On the 19th of October, 1784, he bought fifty acrea of land in Moultonborough, N. H. .His home (lately occupied by Ebenezer Tilton) waa on the old Toppan road which leads from the Little Pond to Moultonboraugh, and not far from the line between the two towns. Over forty years he owned and lived upon this farm. On Oct. 5, 1807, he sold it with other lands to his son Jonathan Sin- kler, and soon after removed to Haverhill, N. H. He and his wife were now old, and the remainder of their lives were spent with their son in Haverhill, although they occasionally returned to Sandwich to see their old friends, and to N-iait the familiar haunts where so many of the active years of their lives had been paosed. He married . They died in Haverhill, N. H., and are buried there. Before relinquishing Mr. Sinkler to history a pen picture should be given of his home in Sahdwich. On one of the most magnificent locations in New Hampshire was his abode. Like the city of Jeru- salem as described by the Paalmiat, it was beautiful for situation. It was on a high, level tract of land which projects into that valley, remarkable for its beauty, in which much of Sandwich is situated. High hilla and grand mountains surround it, whoae contour is nearly perfect. The mountain gorges are symmetrical, the hill tops are rounded, and the aidea are covered with fielda or wooded growtha. In the aouth, in plain view of hia home, waa Berry Pond, or Little Winnipiaaukee, whose waters glimmered in the brightness of the summer sun. Then there were the Red Hilla in a aoutherly and westerly direction ; in a northerly direction were the Sandwich mioun- taius, with the bald, bold peak "White Face" plainly in sight. In the north-east ''Cool Chocorua," ragged and rugged peak, pierced the skies, while in the aoutbeaat the mountains of Osaipee, with ''Black Snout," bound one'a viaion. Thua living almoat' within their ahadows, the mountains and the hilla kept "ward and watch" about him. CHILDREN PROBABLT BOBN SANDWICH, N. H. Richaid Sinclair, Jr.* [338], b. January, 1766; m.

He was born as early, probably, as March 3, 1726, as on March 3, 1747-8, he received a deed of ten acres of land from Samuel Sinkler, and nmst have been of age at that time, and was of the parish of New- market. He was still there in 1755, when he signed a petition for a bridge at the NeWfields. On Nov. 14, 1770, then of Holdemess, N. H., he bought land of John Shaw of that town. In 1775 he was a resident of Gilmanton, and was one of the twelve men who voluntered to fight against the enemies of his country. He enlisted May 8, 1775, in Capt. Aaron Kinsman's company. Col. John Stark's regiment, and served until Aug. 1, 1775, three mouths and one day. He was in the battle of Bunker Hill. He drops out of view, but he may have settled in Maine. Circumi stances point in that direction. He may have been the ancestor of the Sinklers of Blue Hill, Me., mentioned in the latter part of this book. 119. Col. Richard Sinkler* [56] (Samuel*, John*, John>). He was often called Col. Richard Sinclair. The statement that Samuel Sinkler was the father of Col. Richard came from a record inscribed in his family Bible — nearly half a century aince — by Joshua Sink- ler, son of Joshua and grandson of Col. Richard Sinkler. This statement is confirmed by my own investigations. His father, Samuel Sinkler, was a husbandman and a resident *' of Newmarket in Exeter," now South Newmarket, previous to Dec. 3, 1731, as he' deeded land at that date. His mother was a daughter of Richard Mattoon. The exact date of Col. Richard Sinkler's birth is not known, but it was about 1730. He was born in New- market, was a carpenter and wheelwright by trade, and was a resi- dent of Nottingham, N. H., in 1752. On Nov. 15, 1752, the first mention of his name is found upon the records, — when he sold forty acres of land in Epping, N. H. As he must have been twenty-one yeara of age at the time, it would make his date of birth previous to Nov. 15, 1781. He was a resident of Newmarket on Jan. 15, 1757, as on that date he purchased one-fourth part of lot No. 4 in Summer street in Nottingham. At this period be dealt considerably in real 96 COL. RICHARD SINKLER, OF BARNSTEAD, N. H. [119 5ii estate and owned mills, and cut and sawed the lumber upon the same. That was the main business of his life. The French and Indian war was then in prepress, and lasted from the declaration of hostilities by England against France, May 17, 1756, until the conquest of Canada and the treaty of peace in 17(ia. New Hampshire was called upon for sacrifices, and her sons were continually in the field braving the dangers of the battle and the sufferings of camp and bivouac. In 1760 a regiment was raised for the invasion of Canada, commanded by Col. John (ioffe. In this regiment Richard Sinkler enlisted March 28, 1760, in Capt. Jeremiaii Marstou's company. This force cut its way through the wilderness for a great distance and endured many privations. After the expira- tion of his service in the ai-my he purchased, on April 27, 1764, land in Canterbury. In November of the same year he became a pioneer settler in Gilmanton, and lived for two years witii his family on lot No. 1 in the 1st range of the lower one hundred acre lots. This was in the southeast part of the town, near the Barnstable line. (See map of Barnstead, N. H. ) He was a signer of the call for the first town meeting in Gilmanton, which was held July 31, 1766. In the latter part of that year his life in Gilmanton closed, and he became a resident of Barnstead. On the second day of June, 1767, he purchased of Edward Emerson of Portsmouth, N. H., one hundred acres, it being the " Lot said Rich- ard Sinkler now lives on, and is No. 64, in 2d Division in Barn- stead." On the same date he sold one-fourth part of a sawmill standing on Bear Pond stream. Thus was this early resident engaged in his mill, in buying and selling real estate, and the other duties of life, while the political affairs between the colonies and Great Britain were approaching a crisis, and the great questions at issue were finally to be solved by the dread abitrament of the sword. The French and Indian war had developed the military spirit of the people to a high degree, and had prepared them for the greater and grander struggle in which they were to victoriously engage. The Revolution was at hand, and Mr. Sinkler was to engage in it and bear a meritorious part. The great struggle found in him an early participant in its stirring scenes. In various ways he was earnest and active in the cause till the independ- ence of the colonies was achieved and the founding of the great Republic was assured. He held a captain's commission in the 10th regiment, commanded by Col. Joseph Badger. He was a captain in active service in Col. John Waldron's regiment, stationed at Temple's farm, in Gen. John Sullivan's brigade in the Continental Army, March 6, 1776. In 1780 he commanded a company in Col. Thomas Bartlett's regiment, which was raised in June of that year for the defence of the very valuable fortress of West Point. On the 27th of October the regiment was dischai^ed and he returned to his home in Barnstead. It was during this term of service that Arnold attempted to betray West Point into the hands of the enemy and TEAD, N, H.

Sinkler was made 2d Major of the 10th N. H. regi- ment Nov. 3, 17H0. This expedition closed his military career, but he was earnest in the performance of civil duties and trust. He served as moderator in his town at special meetings and at the annual meetings of 1775, 76, '79, and '«2; as selecmau 1777, '78, and '80; and as chairman of the board in 1775, '82, '83, nnd '84; was a surveyor of highways and auditor in 1792. With others he had rallied in defence of American liberty at the very commencement of the Revolutionary war. On the 26th of April, 1776, the town voted to "Capt. Richard Sinkler, £1-11-6, Lawful money for his and the mens expence for going Down below For the Defence of our Country." He served on the committee to hire money and soldiers for Barnstead, and on the committee of regulation in 1778. * A copy of his autc^aph as appended to a document June 18, 1777. At length the war was over, the colonies were triumphant, the rbpublic was established, peace reigned, and the affairs which pertain to peace engrossed the attention of men. All were engaged in developing those things which add to the mental or physical comfort of the people, increasing the resources of the town and state, and thereby enhancing the happiness of the body politic. It was so in the town in which lived the subject of this sketch, and he was still prominent, still a servant of the public. In one of those great freshets which almost yearly swell the rivers to raging floods, causing them to overflow their banks and bear oppos- ing obstacles away, the bridge had been swept off which spanned the Suncook river, and on the 14th of December, 1784, the town voted to rebuild the same, and Richard Sinkler, Esq., W(i8 made "overseer of the uol bridge." On the 25th of October, 1785, he was made overseer of the work, and he received 5 shillings per day for his ser- vices as masterworkman, while the others received only 2 shillings and 6 pence. A meeting-house was to be erected, and Capt. Richard Sinkler, now called Colonel for the first time in the records, was on the 25th of March, 1788, appointed one of a committee to locate the same. On March 11, 1788, he deeded a one hundred acre lot with sawmill, it being No. 98 in 2d division, to his son John Sinkler, " in consid- eration of love and good will that I bear" to him. On March 23, 1790, he sold 65 acres to his son Richard, Jr., a part of lot No. 64 in the 2d division in Barnstead. He sold the remainder, "about 100 acres," " with all the buildings standing on said premises, it being the same land and buildings where I the said Richard Sinkler now live," to Joseph Cilley April 15, 1791. Thus the homestead of this If 98 COL. RICHARD SINKLER, OF BARNSTEA: . K. H. [119 fH early settler, which he had bought June 2, 1767, and on which he had lived for almost a quarter of a century, passed out of his possession. (See map of Barnstead, N. H.) The home of Col. Richard Sinkler, as previously stated, was on Lot No. 1, in the southeasterly corner of Gilmanton, occupied in 1888 by Harrison Carr. He left there in the latter part of 17G(;, went across lots, through the then wilderness, about a mile dis- tant, and located on the farm lately owned by Rev. Nathaniel Wilson. It was in its natural state and the location was agreeable and pleasant. As time wore away the forests gave way to smiling fields, and instead of the music of the swaying branches of storm- swept forest trees, was only heard the breezes as they bore across the fields of grass, or with rapid undulations bowed the heads of acres of heavily beai-ded grain. The barn which was his was destroyed by fire ; his house is gone, and an elm tree more than a foot in diameter grows in the cellar, finding abundant nourishment for itself, while in summer's sun and in winter's storm its stately branches overspread the site of this early home. This place is situated on the ''old Province Road," which was laid out and built by kingly authority, '* In good old Colony times When we lived under a king." An interesting part of the history of Barnstead is centered in this locality, and on the line of this highway. In a southerly direction, and some three-fourths of a mile from the home of Col. Sinkler, stood the old schoolhouse, where attended school some of the brightest lads ever raised in Barnstead, and among them was his descendant in the third generation, Hon. John G. Sinclair, who then lived with his mother's father, Joseph Norris. Still following the ancient road in a southerly direction, is the farm first settled upon by Moses Dennett, the grandfather of its present occupant, Oliver Augustus Dennett. Then there is the for- mer home of Dr. Joseph Adams (a relative of President John Adams), now occupied by Mrs. Clarissa Roberts. In tlie little iiistic cemetery close at hand, surrounded and fenced in by a rough wall of unhewn stone, the eccentric physician has long been sleep- ing. Some twelve rods south of the Adams property, on the op- posite side of the highway and in the well cultivated field owned by Hiram Rand, is a depression in the soil which -marks an old cel- lar, now filled up, and over which, yearly, crops are grown. A few pear trees grow near it. This is all there is left to mark the former habitation and home of Lt. Richard Sinkler, son of the pioneer. Then the elegant farm of Hiram Rand is seen. It was once the property and home of Charles Hodgdon, Jr., a brother to the wife of Lt. Richard Sinkler. Still going south about an eighth of a mile there is a diverging highway. In the comer of the field, made by the junction of these roads, are the marks of another cellar. This was the home of Charles Hodgdon, Sr.. the father of the wife o W: K. H.

Ch'er these broad acres for a great distance, in her youth she could look and wander, for her father was a large land owner and held the title deeds. The Journey being continued, another homestead is seen connected with the history of another generation of the Sinclairs of Barnstead, and the home of one of its early settlers. It was originally owned and settled upon by Joseph Norris, Sr., and in 18«8 occupied by Fred P. Fletcher. This was the birthplace and early home of Mar- tha Nonis, wife of Charles G. Sinclair and mother of Hon. John G. Sinclair. After leaving the province road soon is met the highway leading from Pittsfield to Barnstead Centre. In the center of the Parade, nearly opposite the church, is a dwelling house occupied by Mrs. El- len Colbath. This was the home of Charles G. Sinclair and his wife Martha Noi-ris, and the birthplace of Hon. John G. Sinclair, and where his earlier years were passed. Col. Richard Sinkler rests in an unmarked grave on his home- stead. He died July 27, 1813, in Barnstead.* He married in 1752-3 Polly, daughter of Capt. Joseph and Alice (Rawlins) Cilley of Hampton, N. H. (See appendix for Cilley family.) She possessed great courage and strength of character, and endured the hardships incident to the lives of pioneers with a marked degree of fortitude, ever looking foi-ward to brighter and more prosperous days. During the repeated absences of her husband iu the military service and in business, the cares of the family fell heavily upon her, but they were borne with womanly heroism. She died in Barnstead; date un- known. Formerly in a little orchai-d near the dwelling there were two graves in which reposed the dust of the heroic Polly Sinkler and her husband, the veteran soldier of two wars, Richanl Sinkler. 120. 121. 122. 128. 124. 125. 126.

He waH a Holdier in the French and Indian war before 1764. He married Mary, daughter of Capt. Jonathan Blunt of Cheater, N. H., and was a resident of that town before July 6, 1771, when he and his wife sold to John Wilson of Chester the land which was set off to Mrs. Slnkler from her father's estate. On Dec. 81, 1772, he was a resident of Weare, N. H. (then or earlier called Halls Town), where they had inherited land from the estate of her father. They . deeded to Semuel Blunt of Chester certain rights in land and build- ing "out of the estate of our honored father Capt. Jonathan Blunt of Chester, deceased." He is next heard of oa a patriotic soldier of the Revolution, hav- ing enlisted early in the struggle and serving almost continuously until at the battle of Saratoga he gave up his life. He was a private In Capt. Samuel Richard's company, Col. John Stark's regiment, from April 28, to Aug. 1, 1775. At Bunker Hill his station was with the other men from Weare, N. H., " behind the rail fence " that extended from the redoubt part of the way east to the Mystic river. On March 22, 1777, he enlisted In the Continental army for three yeaito and received a bounty of £22 5s 6d, for which he gave a receipt. He was with his Slnkler relatives from Barnstead, in Capt. Amos Merrill's company. Col. Joseph Cilley's regiment, and General Poor's brigade. Later on the battle of Bennington had been fought, and the American forces were closing In upon Greneral Burgoyne. At the battle of Saratoga, N. Y., Oct. 7, 1777, a detachment of the British marched out of their position upon the left of tlie American furces. The English force consisted of the grenadiers and light infantrr, and six field pieces. They placed themselves upon an elevated point In a cleared field a fourth of a mile distant from the American forces. The three N. H. regiments were ordered to attack them, which they did in brilliant style. The fight lasted for half an hour, when the enemy were driven from their position with the loss of their cannon and some prisoners. Our men pressed forward, attained the Grerman troops, drove them back, capturing military stores and provisions. It was during these famous exploits that Ebenezer Sinkler, the brave sol- dier, was killed. He made the supreme sacrifice, that of life itself, for the American cause. His family were left in destitute circumstances, and his widow applied to the state for assistance, which was not granted, though she received help from the town. His property consisted of 150 acres of wild land in Wentworth, N. H. He bad three children, the oldest under 14 years of age ; names not known. Jrainri'iMa ■wriBfciitMlMW'IIWI WWi*)l Mmmmm^'^^^ M. H.

He was frequently at law with his neighbors, and his name often appears in the court racords at Chelsea, Vt. It is not known that he bad a family.

He was an early settler of Meredith, being there Nov. 2, 177i2, and purchased of his brother Thomas Sinclair on Nov. 28, 1772, a portion of Lot No. 19, 2d division. He bought of his brother Thomas, Dr. Henry Dearbom, and others, Oct. 19, 1774, one hundred acres in Meredith, the original right of Joseph Goodwin, which he sold to Ebenezer Pitman of that town Feb. 20, 1775. He was a Revolutionary soldier and was a member of Capt. John Moody's company. Col. Naham Baldwin's regiment, which was raised in New Hampshire in September, 1776, to re-inforce the Continental army at New York. The regiment participated in the battle of White Plains Oct. 28, 1776, and was discharged early in December of that year. Mr. Sinclair was allowed for 320 miles travel, and the amount paid him was £8 ISs 4d. He lived in Meredith in 1780, and on Aug. 18 sold a portion of his homestead to Joseph Robinson of that town. Abont the year 1790 he removed to Greensborough, Vt., and set- tled upon the farm owned in 1890 by James B. Calderwood. It comprised then some fifty acres. He cleared the land from its nat- ural state and there he and his family, the most of the time, lived till his death, which occurred about 1810, at the age of some sixty years. No dates securable. He and his wife and family were much re- spected people, and were regular attendants of the Methodist meet- ings, which in those days were bolden in bams. In his old age he moved into Hardwick, and died there. He mar- ried Hannah Sanbom, who probably died in Haidwick, Vt.

The land of Constantino Sinclair was adjoining theirs. The home of Mr. Sinclair was in the Pease school district, near the ''Oak Hill Church," and the farm was owned in 1888 by a son of I)ea. Thomas Veasey. He was a tall, slender man, with not an overstock of vitality, and (Msease for several years was upon him. Upon that farm he lived, reared bis large family, and died of con- sumption. His educational advantages had been few, yet he fully appreciated tlie value of learning. He attended the Free Baptist church, and though not a member, was deeply interested in religious things, and the reading of the Scripture in his family was his daily practice. The homes of the people irere lighted by tallow candles. Once when reading the Bible aloud, — ''The Lord said unto Moses," — he exclaimed, " Snuff that candle," which made so ludicrous a composi- tion in connection with the wordb of "Holy Writ" that laughter was with difficulty suppressed among the youthful members of the family. He was emphatically a home man, quiet in manner, gentle by nature, and his attention was more engrossed with his private affairs than with those of a public nature. He married at Meredith Aug. 9, 1774, Mary Meed, b. at Stratham, N. H., Oct. 26, 1755; d. at Meredith Oct. 21, 1790, aged 34 yrs. 11 mos. 26 days.

James St. Claii-* [63] (Thomas*, Joseph*, James*, John*). He was boru iu Newmarket, N. H., in 1757. As His fatlier was in "Bnckstreet," in Pembroke, the following year, it must have been in that town that the earlier years of his youth were passed. His brothers, Benjamin and Thomas Sinclair, bad already located in Meredith, N. H., and there he was a i-esident iu 1776. He early went into the military service of his country by enlisting Dec. 5, 1776, in Capt. Benjamin Whitcomb's Independent Company of Rangers, and sensed until Dec. 31, 1779. He went as a soldier for Sanbornton, thougli a resident of Meredith, and received a bounty. During the lull of arms he attended to his individual in- terests. On Jan. 7, 1770, being then "a Continental soldier," he purchased sixty-five acres of land in Sandwich, N. H., a part of the original right of Benjamin Non'is of Stratham, N. H., the brother-in-law of his great uncle, Richard Sinkler*, of that town. When his three years of honorable service were about expiring, his patriotic ardor was not chilled, but with his courage undaunted, and his love of country sti'engthened by the sacrifices he had en- dured, he re-enlisted for the war. Was in Major Whitcomb's com- pany of rangers; for a time in Capt. William Rowell's company. He was made a corporal Nov. 1, 1780. Cornwallis surrendered to Washington at Yorktown, Va., Oct. 19, 1781. On the 30th of De- cember of that year was a National Thanksgiving. Peace was at hand. St. Clair was made sergeant and continued with the army until "the cruel war was o'er." On the 19th of April, 1783, there was a formal proclamation of the cessation of hostilities. On June 6, 1783, his long and heroic service as a soldier of the Revolution closed, and he was honorably discharged at West Point, N. Y., the discharge being signed by General Washington, and he received a "Badge of Merit." It was nobly won. In a family noted for its numerous soldiers, and they attesting their devotion to country by valiant and repeated services, Mr. St. Clair had, by continuity and length of time, surpassed them all, and subsequently was pensioned by the government. mak0imiimikttm !I.

Y. 106 Laying aside ttie aims and liabits of ttie soldier he immediately located in Sandwich, N. H., and earnestly devoted himself to the pursuits of peace. His stay in that town was short. His father, Thomas Sinkler, had become old ; the infirmities of age were upon him and he wished for the help and companionship of his son. So James St. Clair, the soldier, on the 28th of January, 1785, bought the homestead of his father near the foot of Steele's hill in Sanborn- ton, N. H., and moved upon it. There they lived until March 17, 1792, he sold his ninety acres, and with his aged father, in Feb- ruary, 1793, settled in Hardwick, Vt., near his brother Benjamin, who was in Greensborough, Vt., and his uncle, John Sinclair, who was in Essex, Vt. He made his influence felt in his new home, for he was active and enterprising. In 1796 he was one of a committee to arrange for the settlement of Rev. Mr. Tuttle in that place. On Dec. 7 his father died in a ripe old age. He dealt in real estate and, in 1801, removed to Wolcott, Vt., where he was selectman in 1802-3 and '4, and as moderator of the annual meeting it) 1804. About 1808 he, with the Northrops and other friends, removed to Russell- town, Canada, where he lived till the breaking out of the 1812-'15 war with Great Britain. It was a great calamity to him. He was loyal to his country and would not fight against her. So he and his family fled by night from an approaching rigorous conscription, the men afoot, the women and children on horseback, and crossed the line into the United States. Save what tliey cai-ried with them everything was abandoned, farms, farming utensils, stock, house- hold furniture, all of which was confiscated by the enemy. It was a hai-d necessity which drove him from ais home and property, and as old age was approaching, left him almost penniless in the world. They lived in Peru, Union Springs, and Palmyra, N. Y., and in 1816 he removed bis family to Vermont, where his friends and rel- atives, Mrs. James Sinclair, Mrs. Simeon Walton, and Mrs. Isaac Colby, were residing. He joined his son in Barre, N. Y., and about 1817 visited relatives in Ohio, and called upon and visited Gren. Ar- thur St. Clair of Revolutionary fame^ and who was born in Thurso, Scotland. The General was then living on Chestnut Ridge in the Ligonier Valley, Penn. It was about eighteen months l^fore the General's death. His dwelling was a double log house of the west- em style, which a neighborhood would put up in an afternoon. It was in tb» vicinity of the large estate which he owned at the com- mencement of the Revolution. At that time Greneral St. Clair was farming ; help being short his visitor, James St. Clair, lent an as- sisting hand and helped him sebure his crop of com. He staid with the General some three months. The incidents of this visit and the assistance he rendered the General were often related to his family, and afforded him pleasure and delight. The subject of their rel- ationship was discussed by theni, and he stated on his return that they were relatives, "cousins"; the degree of cousinship was not stated. (See pedigree of John Sinkler of Exeter, N. H., page 44.) 106 JAMES ST. CLAIR, OF ALBION, N. Y. [161 He returned to BaiTe, N. Y., where he resided with hia family un- til his death, Jan. 27, 1836. In personal appearance he was tall and commanding, nearly six feet in height, straight as an arrow, with blue eyes, brown hair, fair and light complexion. His mental powers were more than ordinary, and he was very intelligent. In his old age his mind went back to the scenes of his youth, the asso- ciations of his boyhood. He often spoke of his brother, Thomas Sinclair of Meredith, and frequently mentioned Zebulon and Constan- tine Sinclair, and his grandchildren always supposed they were his brothers. When telling of their boyish pranks he would rub his hands with glee •and laugh heartily. Thus did he re-live the life of his youth. A notice published at the time of his death thus sums up his life:- ''He was at the battles of Monmouth, and Brandy- wine : was at Valley Forge, and at the taking of Burgoyne. He was at West Point at the time of Arnold's treason, and in the unsuccess- ful attack on Quebec, and in several other actions of less impor- tance." He married Sarah, daughter of Philip Hunt of Haverhill, N. H;, and later of Sanbornton, N. H., where many of his descendants still live. She was bom June 5, 1759, married in 1783, and died in Barre, in the part now Albion, N. Y., March 10, 1834. He spelled his name Sinclair or Sinclear until late in life when he changed the orthography to St. Clair. These are f ae-similes of his autographs, appended to pension papers in the Pension Office at Washington, D. C. In his discharge papers his name is spelled James Sinclear. In his application for pension, June 12, 1818, h€ signed his name James Sinclear. /"'■^-^^f^X In his aCBdavit asking for the transfer of the payment of his pen- sion from one agency to another, Sept. 4, 1820, he signed his name James St. Clair. The latter orthography he followed in the later years of his life, and it is the form adopted by his family and descendants. CHILDBEN. 151. Polly St. Glair**, b. Sandwich, N.

He was horn in Newmarket, N. H., May 22, 1758. (See latter part of James St. Clair's sketch. No. 150.) In personal appearance he was tall and commanding, was fully six feet in height, well proportioned, and weighed more than two hundred pounds, was intelligent, social, and fond of society. He was a soldier of the Revolution, and many were the tales he told of his experiences on scouting expieditions against the Indians, and his dangers in camp and field. While traveling through the forests they went in Indian file, kept continually in motion, and with their dippers, without for a moment stopping, scooped up the water to drink from the flowing streams they passed. Thus were they continually on the lookout for the wily foe, who might lie in ambush. At the commencement of the Revolutionary struggle he enlisted in Capt. Jeremiah Clough's company, in Col. Enoch Poor's regiment, Gren. John Sullivan's brigade, and served one year, from the last of December, 1775, to the last of December, 1776. At this time he was of Sanbomton, N. H., and enlisted there. He entered the Continental service for the war, and served till April 1, 1778, — one year and three months, — when he procured a substitute and returned home. During this period he was a member of a company commanded by Lieut.-Col. Ebenezer Smith, which on the alarm of July 7, 1777, marched for the relief of the garrison at Ticonden^a, a nine days' service. The expedition was fraitless of beneficial results, as Greneral St. Clair, who was in command, deemed himself unable to check the advance of General Burgoyne, and so abandoned the fort. Young Sinclair saw honorable service soon after. General Bur- goyne having sent a detachment of his army to seize a large amount of stores at Bennington, Vt., was met by troops under General Stark of New Hampshire, and defeated Aug. 16, 1777. Sinclair was in I W l WBV - 108 ZEBULON SINCLAIR, OF HOLDERNE88, N. H.

He was for « time in Captain Addridge's company of rangers, under Major Whitcomb, which was stationed on the frontier of Canada, and was besides in severnl skirmishes with the Indians. After the war he lived in Sandwich, and sold bis land of 27 acres Feb. 2, 1790, to Hezekiah Webster. Was then a resident of Mere- dith, where he sold his land of 165 acres and buildings to William Mead Sept. 1,. 1801. He sold land in Holdemess to Jonathan Towle April 16, 1810. He then lived in Holdemess, in that section of the town and on the faim owned in 1888 by Edward Merrill, and occu- pied by Samuel D. Merrill. The original buildings are now demol- ished. They stood on a little plot of ground he had reserved on a gently sloping hillside. Late in life, when the inflmiities of age bad bowed his once stalwart form and greatly reduced his strength, be re- moved a half-mile distant and spent the last years with his son Zebulon. It is the farm owned and lived upon in 1888 by his grand- son, John Taylor Gilnian Sinclair, in East Holdemess, two miles distant from Squog bridge. He received a pension from the govern- ment for his valiant military services. He was married by Rev. Joseph Woodman of Saubomton, N. H., to Annie Conant March 1, 1779. She was probably of Newmarket, and was born Dec. 10, 1754. Her last years were ones of much suffering, caused by a severe fall, which made her a cripple and obliged her to walk with crutches. He died June 11, 1840. She survived her husband till the 22d day of September, 1840, when she passed away. The veteran jsoldier and his life companion rest side by side in the cemetery at Squog bridge, Holdemess, N. H. 164. 165. 166. 167. 168. CHILDREN.* Anna Sinclair^, b. Nov. 4, 1781 ; d Nov. 4, 1781.

Folly-Mead Sinclair*, b. Feb. 12, 1801, at Merodith ; d. June 10, 1801. 172. Constantino Sinclair* [65] (Thomas*, Joseph*, James*, John>) . Probably born in Newmarket, N. H. (See latter part of sketch of James St. Clair, No. 150. ) He was a farmer, and was early a resident of Meredith, N. H. In official documents he is called of New Hampton, 'ind also of Meredith. His home was evidently near the boundary lino of the two towns, and it is hard to determine in which it was situated, but probably in Meredith. As early as Nov. 2, 1772, he owned and probably lived upon lot No. 19, in the 2d -division of lands in Mere- dith. A portion of this lot was owned at this date by Benjamin Sinclair and his brother Thomas Sinclair, both of that town at that date. A little later James St. Clair, brother of the foregoing, was a resident of Meredith, and on March 5, 1790, Jacob Sinclair of Epping, N. H., a cousin of the foregoing, was a near neighbor to them, but within the limits of New Hampton, thus adding one more to the clan Sinclair, who had been, or were then, residents of Mere- dith and New Hampton, and who lived in close proximity to each other. Constantine Sinclair bought land in New Hampton March 1, 1781. He married Huldah , who survived him. But the time approached when this pioneer could no longer fell the forest and convert into smiling fields with abundant harvest the land where only gloomy woods had stood before. Sickness came to him, and in spite of the ser\'ices of his attending physician. Dr. Beniah Sanborn, he died previous to Sept. 3, 1783. On that date the administration of his estate was granted to Ben- jamin Pease of Meredith. Inventory of estate was taken Nov. 27, 1783 ; the widow's third set off Dec. 8, 1788 ; and license granted to sell the real estate July 23, 1784. There is no record or mention of children. 173. Jeremiah Sinclair* [70] (John*, Joseph*, James*, John^). He was bom in Pembroke, N. H., in 1765, and his youth was spent in Wolf borough, N. H., as his father was a resident there during those years. He went as a soldier in the Revolution from that town when young, enlisting Sept. 21, 1781, and was dischai^ed Nov. 6 of the same year. He was in Capt. Jacob Smith's company of ran- gers, raised fo^ the defense of the northern frontiers of New Hamp- shire, and was under Col. Joseph Whipple and Col. David Page. He was living in Wolfborough on Dec. 23, 1783, and signed a ^^^Wiiiii 110 JEHEMIAH SINCLAIR, OF ESSEX, VT.

H., and bought Oct. 19, 1799, of Eli Glines one hundred and fifty acres, "the land he now lives on," for three hundred dollars. This was one mile from Eaton Centre and near Glines' Hill. Later he removed to Essex, Vt., where lived his father, bought a farm, erected buildings, and there spent the remainder of his life. He was a soldier of two wars, the Revolution and the last war with Great Britain, 1812-16. He was with the company from Essex, Vt., and with them participated in the fight at Plattsburg, N. Y. He was large, with florid complex- ion, dark hair, stood more than six feet in height, weighed two hun- dred and twenty-five pounds, was strong and powerful, and in his youth was fond of athletic sports, and was noted for his great strength and successful feats in lifting, jumping, and wrestling, the games then in vogue at all public fairs and many public gatherings.

Of his earliest ycai-s notliing is known, but when the time approached for the nmiiluKKl of America to assert itself, he came to the front. He was one of tliose ready, when the houi came, to resist Britisli aggressions. When the Kiiglish commander in Hoston sent forth a detachment of his forces to destroy the stores of the patriots at I^xiiigton, and which resulted in the battle of that name April Il>, 1 775, the whole land was aroused. The troops of New Hampshire immediately prepared for war, and young Sinclair was one of them. He was then of Kpsoin, lieing there in 177.'). On May 2, HTft, he enlisted as, a drummer for H months in Capt. Henry Dearitorn's company. Col. John Stark's regiment, in tlie N. H. line. His regiment and company marched to the vicinity of Boston, and was in the battle of Bunker Hill on June 17th. He served his 8 mouths, and in the last of December enlisted for 1 year in Capt.

There on the 14th of June, 1776; he was severely wounded, by being shot through the wrist of his left arm with two musket balls, which fractured both bones, " by which he lost the use of his hand." For this ho was pensioned by the state and nation. Autograph July 3, 1786 : ^^'^icX -f^uptxJ^^^^f^ While this wound unfitted him for much manual labor, and for the ordinary duties of the soldier, it did not quench his patriotic ardor nor dampen his military enthusiasm. He was still zealous to share the dangers of camp and field in the cause of liberty and the defence of his counti'y. * Many of the facts relating to his military service and experiences were gathered f^om his pension papers In the Pension office at Washington, D. C, by the author. 116 NOAH SINCLAIR, OF CANTERBURY, N. H. [209 After the expiration of liig year's service, he re-enlisted Feb. 17, 1777, for three years, under Capt. Michael McCleary, 3d N. H. regi- ment, commanded by Col. Alexander Scammell. He enlisted for Loudon, and at the time was a i-esident of Epsom, N. H. He was also a part of the time in Capt. James Gray's company of 3d regi- ment ; was a drummer, and promoted to a drum-major May 28, 1771). During this tei-m of sen-ice he participated in the battle of Benning- ton, Aug. 16, 1777, where the British troops were routed; was at the battle of Saratoga, where his commanding officer, Capt. McCleary, was killed, and at the final surrender of Gen. Burgoyne, Oct. 17, 1777, he was present. In the following year, 1778, he was with that portion of the anny which hung upon the rear of the British army in their march into New Jersey, and participated in that fearfully contested but successful battle of Monmouth on June 28. The following season, 1779, he was with his i-egiment, the 3d N. H., under Gen. John Sullivan, in the campaign against the Indians between Wyoming, Pa., and Niagara, N. Y. They marched througli the wilderness, ' over rocky glens and mountain ridges, through gloomy and hardly penetrable swamps, and forded rushitig rivers, ever going "through the unsoiled remnant of a world" seldom or never trod save by the lurking foe. He participated in the successful battle with the Indians at Newtown (now Elmira, N. Y.) Aug. 29, 1779. Indian towns were niined, and their mar\'elous fields of corn and grain were everywhere destroyed. Devastation and ruin marked the pathway of our army. The expedition started from Easton, Pa., June 18, 1779, and returned to that place on the 15th of the follow- ing October. Sinclair served his entire term of enlistment and was honorably discharged at Camp Danbury, Conn., Jan. 25, 1780, by Maj. James Norris, of his regiment and a resident of Epping, N. H. He was at one time a resident of Pembroke, N. H. After his long and arduous ser^^ce in the army he located in Canterbury, N. H., settling there previous to May 25, 1781; at that date he bought 80 acres of land there of James Glines of Concord, N. H.

Was a deacon of ihe church, and looked upon with much respect by his townsmen. Was large in size, and 5 feet 10 inches high, weighed 200 lbs., of light and florid com- plexion, was commanding in his appearance, possessed great strength, and was noted for his athletic exploits. His \news were always posi- tive, and he was rigid in their practical execution. His long and use- ful life was closed in the town of his adoption May 15, 1821, — aged 66 yrs. 2 mos. 25 days.

RICHARD SINCLAIR, OF BARN8TEAD, N. 11. 185 When his term of semce had cxpii-ed, in 1780, his zeal was un- abated, and lu! was still a valiant soldier and patriot despite the fatgiies and iierils of his campaigns. It was a time of great depres- sion and gloom for the struggling patriots. The campaign of 1 77i) had been almost entirely baiTcii of beneficial results to the Americans. The currency was depreciated. The winter of 1780 had been in- tensely cold, and the ill-clad, ill-fed, and unpaid American soldiers had endured untold sufferings. Yet the fires of patriotism glowed more brightly, and new sacrifices were promptly made. Moi-e men were needed and m()re men flocked to the standard. The fortress of West Point, on the Hudson, was of vast import- ance to the National cause, and more troops were needed for its defence. New Hamrnhire raised and sent at least two regiments for its protection — 1>- mi Col. Moses Nichols, and that of Col. Thomas Hartlett of Nottii.^ am. Richard Sinclair, .Tr., enlisted as an ensign in this latter regiment June 29, 1780. He was in the company com- manded by his father, Capt. Richard Sinkler, and went to West Point. This was at an important pei-iod in the great stniggle. Benedict Arnold became commander-in-chief of the fortress and plotted its l)etrayal into the hands of the English. Maj. John Andre, a Urit- tish spy, visited him on the night of Sept. 21, 1780. He was arrest- ed, tried as a spy, and executed Oct 2d, of that year. The traitor, Arnold, escaped to the English lines. Twenty-five days aft«r the execution of Andre this company, in which was young Sinclair and his father, was discharged, and they retunied to Barustead. This closed his highly honorable career as a soldier. No sooner was he relieved of his military duties than he resumed those of a pro- gressive and public-spirited citizen. He sei"ved his town many years as a public officer. He was Selectman in 1781-82, Surveyor of Highways in 1785, '86, '87, '88, and '91, Collector of Taxes 1783, '84, '85. He signed a petition for the appointment of Capt. Charles Hodg- don as a Justice of the Peace Dec. 23, 1788. Was moderator of special town meetings Feb. 2, 1789, and Jan. 13, 1801. He was chosen one of the town's committee Nov. 3, 1789, to settle the boundary lines between Barnstead and Ban-ington. Soon after he and others successfully petitioned for a higher tax upon the people, so that they might be enabled to build a bridge across the Suncook river. Was a juror May 3, 1794, and a member of a town's important committee Mareh 31, 1795. On June 10, 1802, his cousin, Hon. Bradbury Cilley, bought land in Barnstead of him. For $1000, on July 1, 1802, he sold to Charles Hodgdon of Barn- stead, " all his land and real estate in the town of Barnstead, together with two pews in the Northerly Meeting House in Barnstead, adjoin- ing the Minister's pew so called, and the other write over it in the Gallory, also all my buildings and out-bouses to me belonging."

Y. It is probable that he did not meet with the success that he anticipated, as his family did not join him. He lived with his brother, and in 1820 left his house and started on a visit to Cincinnati. Was taken sick on the way and died in Ohio. His wife was Elizabeth (called Betsey), daughter of Charles Hodgdon of BaiTistead. They were married by Rev. William Par- sons Oct. 27, 1784. She was born in Barnstead in 1762, and was a near neighbor to the Sinklers. Their home was on the Old Province Road and near her father's house. (See map of Barnstead, N. H.) She was pensioned by the government for her husband's Revolution- ary services. "She was a Puritan," was much beloved, and died lamented. Her death occun-ed in Barnstead, N.

H., in 1767, which was his home till several years after the close of the Revolutionai-y war. Having inherited a large amount of militaiy spirit, it was early developed, and found abundant room for its exercise in the stirring times in which he lived. He gave the best of his. life to arduous military service in the cause of his country. He enlisted early from Barnstead, as a soldier in the Revolutionary war, and served a por- tion of the time in the same company and regiment with his brothers. He was a member of the company of Capt.

The terms «)f enlist- ment at the l)egiuning of the war were often of short duration. In his pension papers, now on tile in the Pension Office in Wash- ington, D. C, he says that he was a nephew of Col.- Joseph Cilley, and was attached to his person. Ilis bounty as a Continental soldier from Barnstead, was £27 13s 6d. He enlisted into tlio Continental army in Capt. Amos Morrill's com- pany, Col. Joseph Cilley's regiment, and served from June 20, 1777, to June 20, 1780, and was honorably discharged at West Point, N. Y. This was the 1st N. H. regiment, and with the 2d and 3d N. H. regiments fonned a brigade, was stationed at Fort Ticonderoga, on Lake Champlain, under Gen. Sullivan, where it remained till July 6, when it withdrew on the approach of the British army under (Jen. John Bnrgoyne. He was continuously with the regiment and shared its fatiguing marches, privations, and dangers. He was, as he says in his appli- cation for a pension, in both battles at the taking of Burgoyne in Oct. 1777. He suffered while living in the rude log huts, in which tlie American army passed the yrinter from I)ec. 23, 1777, till the fol- lowing spring at Valley Forge. He was with the army the following season, and was in the battle of Monmouth, on June 28, 1 778. It was at this engagement that (4en. Lee, who commanded the American forces, ordered a retreat and for its nearly disastrous consequences received a shaip and stunning rebuke from Washington. Under the eye and direction of the commander-in-chief, the battle recommenced and neither the day nor honor were lost. Sinclair shared in the campaign of General Sullivan against the Indians of the Five Nations, and was in the engagement at New- town, now Elmira, N. Y., Aug. 29, 1779. • After his long and arduous military service in the cause of his country, he engaged actively in the pursuits of peace. He helped to develop business enterprises which had necessarily been neglected and prostrated by the nearly eight years of war.

It was lust coniinunded by Col. Henry Dearborn, Bubse(|uently secretary-of- war for eight years, and a general in the last war with (ireat Britain. Mr. Sinclair enlisted for three years into this n^giineiit, in Capt. iVinoH Morrill's company, June 20, 1777, and was mustered into ser- vice July 1 of that year, and was then fifteen years of age.* He was with the regiment at Kort Ticonderoga when the approa(^li of (Seneral Biirgoyne compelled the Americans to eviu'iiate. The 1st N. II. regiment struck its tents on July 6, 1777 and marched thirty miles to Castleton, Vt. During five rainy days, the regiment con- tinued its inarch to the Hudson river, being without shelter and suf- fering greatly for provisions. On Sept. 19, 1777, the regiment led by Colonel Cilley rendered most distinguished sei-vice in the first battle of Stillwater or Benius's Heights. Bancroft in his account of the battle speaks highly of this i-egiment. In the second battle, called the Battle of Saratoga, Oct. 7, 1777, Colonel Cilley and his regiment rendered still more valiant service, and it was upon this ensanguined Held that Kbenezer Sinclair fell for bis country. t Samuel Sinclair often described the awful silence that prevailed as the New Hampshire troops moved steadily up the slope toward the British grenadiers, who stood in bold relief with their bayonets glistening in the sun. His position was in the center of the company and in the front rank.

Un Dec. lIHh of that year the regiment marched to Valley Forge and took up its winter quarters. They lived in log luitM covered with earth and straw. The sufferings of the regiment wliile at this place were intense for want of proper clothing and food, and by reason of great exposure, between forty and fifty men of this regi- ment died during the winter and spring and early summer follow- ing its encampment at Valley Forge. Among them was Mr. Sinclair's brother, Hradbury Sinclair, who died March 5, 177H. In June, 177H, the army moved out of its winter quarters and occu- pied Philadelphia, which tlu' British had evacuated. It pursued the enemy across New Jersey iiiid fell in with British at Monmouth, and on the 28th of June, Mr. Sinclair with the regiment participated in the battle. The day was fearfully hot. The Ist N. H. regiment left their coats and packs at Knglishtowu before the tight, which gave them a great advantage over the enemy, who fought in their warm coats. Mr. Sinclair said that on tliat day he had seen many soldiers lying beside of a stream of water dead, from drinking too much while heated, and with not a wound upon them. After this battle the regiment marched northward with Washing- ton's army, crossed the Hudson and camped at White Plains, where they remained until September. On the 11th of September the Ist N. H. and other regiments moved eastward. On Dec. 2d they took up winter quarters at Reading, Conn., where they remained until April 10, 1779. Then they marched to ttie Highlands of the Hudson, where they remained until May 9th, when they moved on to Easton, Penn., where they arrived May 18th.

Poor's bri- gade, including Colonel Cilley's regiment, marched back of the hills in onler to cross them and thus gain the rear of the enemy. As tlioy ascended the hill they were fired upon by the Indians, who at the same moment gave a most hideous yell, which resounded through tlio forest and made the whole hillside seem to l)e covered with Indians. 'I'lie brigade reached the top of the hill under a constant fire. The Indianu tied from the hilltop and breastwork and the Americans were victorious. Mr. Sinclair was in this battle as a member of Cilley's regiment.

'I'he Indian country was loid waste ami the army leturned cast, arriving at Kaston, Penn., Oct. lb. i779. In this expedition Mr. Sinclair went as far west as Painted Post, Steuben co., New York, then regarded as a waste country. Little did he dream that in a little more than thirty years, he would push one hundred miles farther into th« wilderness, mid found a beautiful and thriving village. Yet such was the case.

He had seen three years of ardu- ous service in a gallant and active regiment, under one of the most courageo' 8 'fiicers in the army. Four of the Sinclairs were in the same company at the commencement of his three years' service. jmmmm,-!' \> I 142 MAJ. SAMUEL SINCLAIR, OF SINCLAIRVILLE, N. Y. [388 Two had died in the service and two, himself and his brotlier Joshua, who had shared all his campaigns with him, were discharged the sanu' day, and these two returned to Barnstead, N. H. It is a remarkable fact that ho many of a family or connec- tion should be in the service. Mr. Sinclair's uncle. Col. Joseph Cilley, commanded the regiment. Perhaps a little later than his dis- charge his father, Capt. Richard Sinkler, and his bmther, Lt. Ricii- ard Sinclair, were in Col. Thomas Bartlett's regiment and were at West Point. Tiie three yeare of service closed his active military career. He had rendered effective aid to his country, bad endured hardship as a good soldier, and toward the close of his life was pensioned by the government. After his return to New Hampshire he spent some time in Barnstead and in Gilmanton, being in the latter town in 17H8. He was a resident of Vassalborough, Me., in 17H4, and on April 10. 1788, he purchased land there. This was on the Kennebec river, where he erected sawmills and got out masts and ship timber for market. Before 179f» he had again i-emoved to the l)oiilers of settle- ment in New York and settled at Utica, intending to purchase real estate there. But real estate was rapidly enhancing in value so that he made no purchases. While at Utica he worked upon the long bridge over the Mohawk river. About 1795 he resided for a year at Cherry Valley, N. Y., wliich had been settled previ6u8ly by people of Scotch blood from the Scotch settlements of Windham and Londonderry, N. H. He made no purehases of land there as land was too high in price, and he again ^^ moved on." Much of Mr. Sin- clair's life had been spent upon the f roatier and he was accustomed to its hardships. Being an unusually strong and resolute man, fam- iliar with the expedients of border life and skilled in all its methods, he was inclined by the habits of his life to move with the line of settlement as it extended westwai-d. Madison county, N. Y., lying west of Utica and Cherry Valley, prior to 1790 was an unbroken wilderness. Soon after, settlements began and Mr. Sinclair became a settler in Eaton, that county, before April 11, 1796, as he received a commission as Captain in the militia bearing that date. Subsequently, while a resident of Eaton, he was by Governor Jay commissioned as First Major of Militia and was ever after known by that title. He w^as a farmer while there, and owned landed estate on the Chenango river. He was a contractor for building a portion of the turnpike from Cherry Valley, N. Y., through Madison and Morrisville to Syracuse. He was owner of stock in this turnpike, and it was while fulfilling his contract tliat he ceased to be a citizen of Eaton. On Sept. 12, 1805, for one thou- sand dollars, he bought fifty-five acres of land in the village of Madi- son, Madison co., N. Y., and became a resident about 1806. For fourteen hundred dollars he bought, on April 30, 1807, fifty-seven more acres. He cleared this land and erected the first tavern in that village, in which he resided as long as he remained in Madison. But '"^m'^f RVILLE, N. Y. [388 and Ilia brother Josliua.

SAMUEL SINCLAIR, OF SINCLAIRVILLE, N. Y. 148 now the rich and fertile region of western New York, known as the Holland Piu'cha8e,came into market. Where now are several lai-ge cities, fifty villages, and half a million inhabitants, was then a dense wilderness of magnificent forest trees, unbroken except by the rivers and lakes, and here and there, at wide interA'als, by the clearings that had been commenced by the early settlers. The land of the Holland Purchase was offered for sale at twenty HJiillings per acre, while its price in Madison and the eastern coun- ties of the state was much higher. Mr. Sinclair saw that his large family of boys in a few years would demand a wider field for their employment than his narrow possessions at Madisonville affoi-ded. For these reasons, and a natural partiality for pioneer life, he was led to seek a home still farther in the West. Accordingly, about 1808, Mr. Sinclair journeyed through the new and unsettled region of the West to French Creek; in noi-th-westem Pennsylvania, to where his brother, John Sinclair, resided, and there purchased lands, after which he returned to Madison county. In 1809 he again travelled through the wilderness to French Creek, intending to prepare for a residence there. Finding his title to the land at French Creek to be doubtful he sold his interest in it, and in the fall of 1809 com- menced his journey back to Madison. On his way he stopped at the land oflQce at Batavia, N. Y., with a view of obtaining land at Home isolated part for a mill site, somewhere within the limits of the Holland Purchase. He looked over the minutes of surveys and maps of the Holland Land Company with Joseph Ellicott, and without hav- ing personally visited the locality he determined from the height of the adjiacent hills and the narrowness of the chasms through which a mill stream flowed, where it was intersected bj' one of the lot lines, that lot 41 (now Sinclairville) , in the 4th township and lltli range of the Holland Land Company's land (now Charlotte), was the location desired, and accordingly he took an aiiiicle of the whole of lot 41, consisting of 360 acres and which includes the principal part of the village of Sinclairville, and also all of lot 63, in the town of Gerry, and either then or a little later a portion of lots 64 and 65 in Gerry, and all of lot 28 in Charlotte, in all 1530 acres. He agreed to pay for these lands at the rate of twenty shillings per acre. He then returned to Madison county. Upon Mr. Sinclair's return to Madison county he formed a partner- ship with William Berry of that county in the enterprise of settling and building mills upon the lands he had selected. At the beginning of the year 1809 the whole population of Cha- tauqua county was scarcely two thousand sduls. A wilderness covered its entire extent, broken only by the improvements that the few settlers luid made, which consisted of isolated clearings, each generally of a few acres in extent, scattered at long intervals from the Cattaraugus creek to the Pennsylvania line, and nearly all of them within four or five miles of the shore of Lake Erie. Settlement had been made at Mayville, and a few settlers had established themselves upon the shores H Hi ii li 144 MAJ. SAMUEL SINCLAIR, OF SIMCLAIRVILLB, N. T. [888 ^ of Chatauqua Lake, and along Chatauqua Outlet and Conewaugo creek. The streams through the county were unbridged ; the roads were but wilderness paths, little better than Indian trails. As yet no one had ventured to break away from the settlements thii were slowly gathering in the northern and more acceptable parts o.'' tjie county, to penetrate into the woods that then coveKd its interior. In April, 1809, was commenced a small settlement south of the ridge in the northwestern part of the town of Charlotte ; and one a little later in the same season at Charlotte Centre. Mr. Berry, in pursuance of the arrangement he had made with Major Sinclair, came to Chatauqua county in November of that year and pushed four miles further into the woods south of the Pick- ett settlement, three miles beyond Charlotte Centre, to the land selected by Mr. Sinclair, and in three days erected the body of a log house ; and then Berry, the same fall, returned to Madisun county. Late in the day in the month of March, 1810, Mr. Sinclair, and his son John, and his hired men, and William Berry and his wife, and two children, arrived at the Iq; house built the fall before. They shoveled away the snow from a large birch log and built a rousing Are against it. They then constructed a wigwam, and placed in it and over it plenty of hemlock brush, and, notwithstanding the snow was quite deep, passed a comfortable, yet novel, night. This wig- wam they occupied for two days and nights until the log houses were sufficiently prepared to be occupied. The house was the first built in Sinclairville. In it the first schools and first religious meeting of the town were held. During the summer Major Sinclair erected a saw- mill. He then returned to Madison county. Sept. 19, 1810, Major Sinclair, his wife, and family, consisting in all of ten persons, left Madison for Chatauqua county. The family and their goods were car- ried in five covered wagons, with water pails and tar buckets dang- ling from their axletrees. They passed over the Cherry Valley 'turnpike, a leading highway of travel in those days. They crossed the Cayuga lake in a feiTy-boat, and traveled over bad roads to Buffalo, then a small settlement of thirty or foity houses and less than two hundred inhabitants. This was before it was burned by the British. From Buffalo they followed the shore of the lake to Cattaraugus creek, passing around the '* points" or capes that extend into it. They arrived at Richard William's 1(^ tavern in Canada- way, now Fredonia, Oct. 10, 1810. They stopped on their way to measure, the great walnut tree at Silver creek, and to view the burn- ing springs at Fredonia. At Fredonia the family remained a wi^k, until a woods road could be cut, by men employed by Mr. Sinclair, fifteen miles through an almost unbroken forest to Sinclairville. This was the first wagon road constructed into the central part of the county. When the road was completed the family resumed its journey and arrived at Sinclairville Oct. 22, 1810. The members of his family, that so came with him from Madison, consisted of his children, Samuel, David, Joseph, Sally, and Nancy Sinclair; his mmm BVILLE, N. T.

They moved into the log house. Three or four weeks later Mr. Sinclair moved his family into a frame house, afterwards the village tavern, that he caused to be constructed and which was then just completed. These two bouses and the sawmill, which Mr. Sinclair built, formed the nucleus for the village, and were all the buildings erected that year. Major Sinclair and his family, and hired help, consisting of twenty persons, remained there during the winter and spring of 1810 and 1811. The cows and oxen that Mr. Sinclair brought with him lived during that winter upon the twigs and the herbage that grew in the adjacent woods, and the deer broused with them along the borders of the little clearing that had been made. Mr. BeiTy had dissolved his partnership with Mr. Sinclaii-, and returned with his family, in the fall of 1810, to Madison county. In 1811 Mr. Sinclair built a frame gristmill. That year the 4th of July was duly obser^'ed, and Mr. Sinclair entertained all the people that could be gathered at a dinner prepared by him. So many actual settlera had taken up land by the close of 1811, in the central part of the county, that a new town was organized on the Ist of June, 1812. It was twelve miles square, and composed of four of the present towns of the county, including the town of Charlotte. At a meeting held at the house of Othellow Churoh for the purpose of giWrg it a name many f avoi-ed calling it Sinclair, after Major Sin- clair, bu*, it was finally decided to name it Grerry, after Elbridge Gerry, who was that fall elected Vice-President of the United States. At the first town-meeting of his town, held in April, 1813, Mr. Sin- clair was elected its first supervisor. He was subsequently repeat- edly elected, and served in all six terms as supervisor of the old town of Grerry. After its first settlement, and until the last war with England, Sin- dairville and the adjacent country rapidly increased in population. During the war it steadily decreased. A few settlers came but more went away ; some on account of apprehended danger from the Indi- ans, and others to go onto the lines as soldiere and camp-followers. The return of peace did not bring prosperity or increase of the popu- lation. The progress of the settlement was slow until the completion of the Erie canal, in 1825, when business revived, and the popu- lation again rapidly increased. During all these years, until his death in 1827, Major Sinclair was the leading and most influential citizen of the cential part of the county. He brought with him $6000 or 17000, a very large sum for that early day, which he expended in erecting mills and dwellings, and laying the foundation of the village whiph he had commenced. He was active in furthering the settlement of this part of the county. He drew hither many strangers and assisted them in selecting locations, erecting log houses, and starting them in their new homes. He possessed great physical strength and resolution, and was a natural leader among his fellow men. His integrity and sense of justice, bis good judgment 10 s , 146 MAJ. SAMUEL SINCLAIR, OF 8INCLAIBVILLE, M. Y. [888 and experience in frontier life, made tiim a much respected and inflU' ential citizen in his part of the county. Judge James Prendergast was in those days the leading citizen in the soutJi part of the county. Major Sinclair became the founder of Sinclairnile about the same time that Judge Prendergast founded Jamestown. They often served upon the board of supervisors together, and were personal as well as political friends. The settlement of Sinclairville was commenced a little before that of Jamestown. The former in the early spring, and the latter in the fall of 1810. Sinclairville continued thereafter to be the principal settlement between Jamestown and Fredonia and in the central part of the county, and Mr. Sinclair until bis death was its principal ci|;izen. It was designated in the life time of Mr. Sinclair as the *' Major's" or '' Major Sinclair's." At his decease in 1827, by common consent, it began to be called Sinclairville. Lapse of years did not efface the memories of the war of Independ- ence and of his experience as a youthful soldier, yet Major Sinclair had few words for his own achievement. He had great contempt for one that would boast of his own exploits.' He took pleasure, however, to have his comrades, the soldiers of the Revolution, of whom there remained quite a number, visit him at his tavern, where they often gathered to relate their experience and recount their adventures. LaFayette, in his tour through the United States, passed through Chautauqua county, and arrived at Fredonia June 4th, 1825, where the people had gathered in great numbers to welcome and honor him. His aiTival was at night, and the village was brilliantly illuminated. He sat down to an entertainment prepared with much taste for a frontier village. He first received the ladies and citizens, and finally the soldiers of the Revolution. After remaining several hours at Fredonia he was escorted by the military, and followed by a large concourse of ladies and citizens in carriages and on horseback, to Dunkirk, where he embarked amid firing of cannon and other dem- onstrations upon the steam barge Superior, for Buffalo. The Revo- lutionary soldiers in considerable numbers came to greet him. Among their number was Major Sinclair, who filled an important part on that occasion. Mr. Sinclair was made a Master Mason in Madison county about the year 1805 or 1806, and subsequently a Royal Arch Mason. The lodge of which he was a member was held at his inn in Madison, county village. It is related that in April, 1807, Hitchcock who was a Master Mason, and a member of that Icidge, murdered his wife by poison. That she was buried before the fact was known. That at the urgent request of Major Sinclair a committee was appointed by the lodge for the purpose of thoroughly investigating the grounds for the suspicion that began to exist against him. The vigilance of the lodge resulted in the arrest of Hitchcock, his trial, conviction, and execution. VILLE, N. Y. [888 ih respected and influ- s the leadiug citizen ir became the founder !

Y. 147 In 1823 Sylvan lodge of Sinclairvilie was organized with Major Sinclair as \t» Master. He was succeded by James Scbotfleld, the grandfather of Lt.-Gen. John McAllister SchofHeld, whose birthplace was within a few rods of the corporation boundary of the village. By reason of the Anti-Masonic feeling existing in western New York, the lodge in a few years was compelled to surrender its chatter. Major Sinclair died Feb. 8, 1827, and was buried with Masonic honors. All the members of the order there, and many leading members from abroad, were present at his burial, notwithstanding this occurred whan the excitement against Masonry was at its height, the esteem for Major Sinclair was such, and the ceremonies were so conducted, as to cause them to be well received, and to leave a favorable impres- sion upon those present. Respect for Major Sinclair drew many to the funeral. He was buried upon ground which he had himself donat- ed to the public for burial purposes, and which afterwai-ds grew into a most beautiful cemetery. His grave there occupies a conspicuous place, and is marked by a headstone cut from the native stone of the county, appropriately and gracefully carved and lettered. v Major Sinclair was described by a citizen of an adjoin ig town, who knew him well, as having a commanding presence, being six. feet high, with a well balanced head, black hair and eyes, a well formed nose, a round chin, full lips, and a mouth of medium size, weight about 225 pounds. His voice was full and loud and when he spoke always commanded attention. His utterance was rapid, but always to the purpose. His face was fair and full, and in the prime of life he was a perfect man in form and feature. He possessed graat strength and resolution, and was a natural leader among his fellows. He was one of nature's noblemen and his children, both by his fii^t wife and the' second, inherited largely of his physical, moral, and mental qualities. In politics Major Sinclair was a Federalist. He was a Revolutionary pensioner. His long familiarity and rough experience in frontier life, his integrity and sound ju(^ment, made him a respected and influential citizen, and enabled him to contribute much to the settlement of ; ^-Hismmmnff ■ •' M' 148 MA.T.

Hit) funeral was attended by almost the entire population, for the town had lost its most respected citizen. The exercises were conducted accoi-ding to the Masonic ritual. Sixty years have passed away since the dei.th of Major Sinclair, yet his memory is held in much respect and the incidents of his life and the circumstances of the settlement he founded arc fresh in the memories of the people. In the charming village of Sinclairville, on an elevated plateau, is the Kvergreen cemetery. The protecting hills surround it, adbwn a sharp, steep wooded decli'.ity of more than a hundred feet, at one of its sides, a river rushes madly along, and its turbulent waters chant continually the requiem of the dead. In that cemetery, in a well marked and conspicuous place, is the grave of Maj. Samuel Sinclair. There the patriotic soldier, hardy pioneer, faithful and public spirited citizen rests till the great awakening. Kngraved upon the top of his tombstone is the open Bible, with the square and compass and other Masonic emblems, and beneath is this inscription ; " How ]ov*d, how vala'd once avails thee not, To whom related, or by whom begot ; A heap of Dust alone remains of thee, 'T la all thou art, and all the proud shall be." lution.

HemovedtoI.«roy, (ienesee co., N. Y., in 1816, resided there a year and a half and located in Perry, Lake co., Ohio, in 1818, where he ^uded his days. He once started to visit his brother, MaJ. Samuel Sinclair, at SinclairviUe, N. Y., aud went as far as Westfield, when the wildnesB of the country impressed him so unfavorably that he turned about in disgust and went in another direction saying that '' Samuel would starve to death in such a detestable country." It was theu a dense wilderness, heavily wooded, with no openings save Indian trails, an occasional road, and the rushing rivers which flowed through the primeval forests. After locating in Perry, Ohio, he kept a hotel, and owned a large fann. He was a fine marksman, a great hunter, kept hounds, and many were the deer that he successfully hunted. When above eighty years of age he would follow a fox all day, aud usually with success. In persoual appearance he was a tall, large, bony, and muscular man, and of great strength, resolution, and fortitude. He was prompt in busiuess and honorable in his dealings with his fellows, and blunt and brusque in his manners. His death occurred in Perry, Ohio., May 20, 18.58, aged 83 yrs., and he is buried in the attractive ceme- tery in thYit town. His wife was Sally Batchelder of Barnstea(^ N.

It was a Presbyterian commnnity and the catechism was early committed to memory, and the Sabbath was observed with great rigidity. If a person was absent from church, the sharp nosed dea- con usually called upon the delinquent on Monday morning, and if aught but sickness occasioned his absence a severe reprimand was given, and a promise required that the offence would not be repeated. His twenty-tirst birthday came at length, and donning his " free- dom suit", and taking the usual one hundred dollars, he and his brother Asa started for the then West. Stopping only a short time at Sackett's Harbor, he then went to Concord, Erie co., N. Y., pur- chased a farm, upon which he worked in the summer seasons, and taught school in the winters. He then became a blacksmith. Mean- while, on the 9th of December, 1816, he married Huldah Townsend, wiio was born in New Salem, Mass., Dec. 15, 1797*. With her he set sail upon the sometime uncertain sea of matrimo- nial life, but a prosperous voyage awaited them. There their children were born and all were educated for teachers. After a thirty-three years' residence in New York he was struck with the western fever and again emigrated, this time to Hartland, McHenry co.. 111., and employed himself as a farmer a?id mechanic, where he lived eighteen years, also in itevere, Iowa. In 1863, being no longer able to per- form any kind of labor, and wishing to be with his only son, he joined him at Hampton, Franklin co., Iowa, where he died ten years later, April 3, 1873, and is resting in the pleasant cemetery in that town. He was always deeply interested in national affairs, was a Whig, and then a Republican in politics. Mrt. Sinclair lived in New Salem, Mass., till she was fifteen years of age, when she accom- panied her parents to Erie co., N. Y. After her marriage her inter- ests were always in her home, and she was ever faithful to her duty. In every cloud which darkened her pathway she looked for the "sil- ver lining." She has outlived the most of her kindred, and at the age of ninety-on6 is in good health, well preserved, and, in full pos- session of her mental powere, she bids fair to be a centenarian. For the most of her life she has been a member of the Baptist church, and religion has brightened all the way. 406. CHILDREN BORN CONCORD, ERIE CO., NEW YORK. at Concord, N.

He was by trade a joiner, and was engaged in the erection of buildings A^ 158 JAMES ST, CLAIR, OF UNION, ME. [496 in Thomastou, Warren, and Union, Me. His brother Imd settled in Freedom, and Mr. St. Clair bought 96 acres of wild land in Union, Me., some twenty miles east of his brother's home. He built a loj? house some forty rods distant from the framed honse which stood, in 1889, upon the old homestead, and which is occupied by Mrs. ErastUH St. Clair. His tenement stood on the sloping side of a hill near its .^uu.....!,, aui. uw Duuu iiau M ncn uiieu itti'ui. iue lunu was good and brought forth abundant hancsts, and prosperity attended the early settler. The scenery from his abode was fine indeed. On the east were the sharp jutting outlines of Ragget mountain ; in the southeast was Pleasant mountain ; Meadow mountain in the south ; Crawford's Pond, in the southwest, lay shimmering in the sunlight ; while in the west, sections of Montville and Appletou were plainly visible. He cleared his land from the wilderness and wild beasts were numerous. Mrs. St. Clair often frightened the bears from the field as they were breaking down the corn. They often prowled about the house and made raids upon the pens which protected their hogs. He and )\i» wife wera devoted christians, members of the Baptist church, imd attended church at East Union. "The St. Clair path," which nicaadere over the hill, still marks the way they trod in going to ihe house of ^t'orship. He married Kally Wiggin of Stratham, N. H., a sister of George Wiggin of that town. She was bom there Sept. 18, 1778, and died Jan. 5, 1868, aged 90 years. He died in South Thomaston, Me., June 25, 1858.

With hia brother he early went to Heaver Hill Plantation, aftenrard Freedom, Me. Was there in 1806, and his name is attired to the town records in 1813, and there his family names are recorded. He resided in that towii until the spring of 1824, when he removed to Dover, Me., going there upon horseback. Dover was at that time a wilderness. Mr. Sinclair at first lived in a log hut, and cleared his farm from its primeval state. He was a man of high character, a consistent and influential member of the Calvinist Baptist church. In politics he was a Whig. He married his own cousin, Polly Robinson, whose mother was a Miss Mead, a sister to his own mother. He died in Dover, Me., July 3, 1844. Mrs. Sinclair was in many respects a remarkable person. In stature she was small, with black eyes ; was very active, and had large executive ability, and was a good business manager. She was left with » lai-ge farm, and a large family depend- ent upon her. Four of her children became cripples as they arrived at maturity, and some of them became entirely helpless and con- tinued BO for more than twenty-flve years. They never complained, and, though entirely dependent, yet the light from a brighter shore illuminated the darkness of their way. They were devoted chris- tians and looked forward to an entrance to that land '' Where the inhabitants never of sickness complain, And never know death any more." They were well educated ; were teachers ; and one was a preacher. Mrs. Sinclair, with true heroism, bore her heavy burdens till at length her slender frame gave way and they bore her to her rest. She died April 22, 1853. She was born in Meredith, N. H., Dec. 27,1 786. After this event, so sad to her family, their house took tire and, with its contents, was entirely consumed, the members of tiie family barely escaping with their lives. The eldest daughter, Hannah, who was helpless, saw the fire kindling over her head but was unable to arouse the family. When discovered the clothes of her bed were afire and she was barely saved from a horrible death. CHILDREN. A08.

He was bom In Meredith, N. H., Sept. 17, 17.H.'}. In |x;r- Honal appearance he was tall and commanding, and his countenance had a decidedly intellectual cast. His heiglit was six feet and an inch ; his weight mo lbs. By nature generous, he was ){ind in his treatment of all. Was a careful and successful busiuess manager and increased steadily in property. Was a farmer, but had good mechanical abilities and with his own liands manufactured all the carts, wagons, and sucit wooden machin- ery as was used upon his farm. He was a great reader, tteing well informed upon general topics, and quite decidtd in his convictions. In politics he was a Jacksoniau Democrat, but in the latter part of his life was inclined to Abolition- ism. This was when slavery was casting its baleful influence over the Republic, and the slave-power had become dominant and domin- eering. He was a religious man and contributed generously to sustain the institutions of religion. His family were weK cared for; his chil- dren taught the proper way in which to walk life's pathway. In his family the Scriptures were daily read, and prayers were daily of- fereii. There was a sparkle of genuine wit about him, and he was mii'th- ful and loved a joke. This anecdote is related of him : He was accustomed to take his farm products to the city to sell. Once, while returning in mid-winter, when the fierce winds of this New England season had blown the snow into great drifts, making the roads almost impassible, as he was ascending a steep hill in plain view of a house, the owner thereof started into the road with two pairs of cattle, met him in the dinfts, and desired him to ''get out." " I can't," said Sinclair. " Why did you come when you saw me iu the drifts?" Then straightening his tall and massive form up to its full height, and assuming a threatening aspect, and in a tone of voice which fortified his personal appearance, said, ''Now, Sir, if you don't ' get out ' I will sei-ve you as I did the other man back here ! " The man saw that Sinclair was not to be trifled with and made great haste to get his team into the deep snow, and passed him, but shouted back, "How did you treat the other man?" "I 'got out' for him," said Sinclair. He man-ied March 27, 1805, Isabel, daughter «f John Dockraan of Mei*edith Neck. She was born at the Parade, in Mereditl\, Sept. 21, 1780. She was one eminently fitted to adorn his home, brighten his life, and bear her part in all its Wcissitndes and her portion of its burdens. Was very practical. She was a great weaver and wove the nicest table linen, carpets, and fulled cloth. She spun and 11 it'lrplfi !i^ Ife 162 lOSEFH 8T.

He Hed with tliem at tiie outbreak of the 1812-'!;) war, to the state of New York, as lie would not tight against his native country. While in Canada lie married Marcii 17, 1811, Patience Matilda, daughter of Caielt and Syivina (Knowies) Northi-op, of NewMilford, Conn. She was born at that place Uec. 28, 1794. By the law of Canada all marriages were illegal unless solemnized by a clergyman of the Established Church of England. When Mr. St. Clair and his flauc^ were ready to marry they nmde up a party of sixteen peraons, and all on horseback rode gaily over the dividing line into New York state, where in Chateaugay, Franklin eo., they were married by the Episcopal service and clergyman. For a while they lived in Peru, N. Y. Before tiiey permanently located they visited friends in Vermont, crassing Lake Champlaiu on the ice. On their return the ice was breaking up, great fissures were there, through which, as they traveled^ the water would bui-st with a noise like the discharge of a cannon. Across these places their strong horses would leap drawing the sleigh after them, till at length they reached the shore. Mrs. St. Clair never forgot that i*Sr"' TffiBtt., i' 164 MALLY 8T.

Like many of his race since his fli-st American ancestor located in Exeter, he could not be happy unless he could hear the buzz and rattle of saws and machinery, and see the stalwart trees couverted into marketable lumber. Milling business seems to have become a second nature of the Sinclairs, it seems to have run in the blood of the different branches of the family.

H. He was a restless youth and one Sabbath while Mr. Bunker and his family were }jone to chui-ch he and another boy went to the shop, made the shoes, took a pair of calves, not a year old, threw them upon their backs and shod them. When the proprietor returned he was surprised to Hnd his calves walking upon the glare ice. He immediately investi- gated the strange phenomenon and found that it was due to the pi-o- gressive spirit of his enteiprising, ingenious, and Sabbath desecrating apprentice*. Mr. Sinclair was thrice married and his wives were daughters of Moses Page, named respectively, Nancy, Betsey, and Polly Page. He was published to Nancy Page June 27, 1814. When he married the last named her father said, "John Sinclair, you have married a wife now who will see your head cold." This eccen- tric remark proved to be a true one, as Mi-s.

He practiced his profession at Ashville, Fredonia, .lamestown, Forestville, and Panama, in Chautauqua co., N. Y. Me conducted for several years a sanitarium at Forestville. His failure of health led him to abandon his profession and devote all his time and strength to liis farm in Haimony (P. O. address Pan- ama), N. Y'. His wife, Mrs. Orlinda (Sinclair) Parker, was more than medium in stature, of graceful and agile step, and when young took great delight in the amusement of dancing. She was intensely sanguine in temperament; her complexion was florid, and the tint of the rose oft was upon her cheeks. Her eyes were dark, and hair was jet black and '^ ... to shame might bring The plumage of the raven's wing." Having a cheerful, hopeful disposition she shielded with the mantle of her charity, her erring fellow mortals, and her heart " was soft with sympathy for all her sorrowing, struggling, sinful race." She was reared in a pioneer settlement and her advantages for education were quite limited, yet her large share of good common sense (which is the best kind of sense), and a shrewd, keen knowledge of human nature made her always welcome in the best of society. After her father's death, which took place when she was hardly fourteen years of age, she soon relied upon herself for success and a livelihood. She learned the trade of a milliner, which she successfully followed till her marriage. Early in life her mind was called to religious subjects, and she sought and found Christ, who was the foundation of uor hope of immortality and eternal life. This hope she fondly cherished, and clung to with unwavering grasp for several years before she made a public profession of religion. She united with the Baptist church, which she aided by her personal effort, and by pecuniary assistance. Her residence after marriage was for a number of years in May- ville, then at Ashville, till her death. But few are blest with the vigor, unbroken health, and strong constitution which Mrs. F».rker possessed until the winter of 1849, March 17. Then her home was '. ,>8troyed by fire, and her system received a shock from which she never recovered. Her youngest son was born soon after. The strong, vigorous, athletic form gradually wasted away in the space of eighteen months. Her decline was attended with gi-eat bodily suffering and her spirit undci-went painful experiences, as she felt the relentless hand of the destroyer upon her and she realized that she was fading away from her dear friends and family, for whom she so ardently cared. Shortly previous to her death, she summoned her brother, Hon. J. M. Edson of Sinclairville, and spoke to him sub- stantially as follows : " You see what is left of my once strong and vigorous frame. In the prospect of what is so near at hand, 1 have endeavored to set my house in order, and be in readiness to make a journey to an unseen realm. I have sent for you to offer you one of the brightest and most precious gems of my heart, my youngest LE, N. Y.

The subject of this sketch showed unusual mental gifts at an early age. When three years old she could read and write, and in her ninth year wrote her first poem, " The Outcast," published in the Orleans Republican of Albion, N. Y. It attracted the attention of the editor, Mr. Calvin G. Beach, a writer of rare merit, who with his wife became greatly interested in the young aspirant, and much of her immediate success was due to the kindness of her friends, who loaned books otherwise Inaccessi- ble to her. In her tenth year she wrote " Thistledown, An Auto- biography," a novel of marked dramatic power and artistic unity in construction and technique incredibly Iteyond a child of her age. The publication of the book was delayed by lack of money and she meanwhile began to publish in the popular newspapers and magazines, poems, stories, sermons, essays, and humorous sketches which would have been considered marvels had the age of the author been known. All were signed '' Egypt," a nom de plume chosen t)ecause of the child's extreme admiration for all things Oriental or Egyptian. Tiie New York Independent. The Chicago Advance, The Northern Chrietian Advocate, The ChriBtian Leader, The Home Journal, The Bural New Yorker, The Waverly Magazine, The New York Mercury, The Ladies' Repository, of Boston, were all publishing contributionf< from her versatile jen l>efor«> her fourteenth year ended. During this period the artistic gift be^'an to furnish evidence, and she was soon ardent- ly drawing and painting, at first with common house paint, as more refined pigments were beyond her reach, and the walls of her old home and birthplace are still adorned with the work of those first years of promise. LandRcapes, old castles, fiower pieces, portraits, and an imaginative religious work, embodying the sentiment of the hymn ^'Nearer My God to Thee," are among the productions shown as the work of her hands between the ages of ten and sixteen. To increase her funds and facilities for study, she taught a private school in her own village, in her thirteenth summer, ana at the summer's close received a Ist grade certificate from the school commissioner, who did not know her age. The following winter she taught a country school and "boarded round" near the shore of Lake Ontario, wading through snow drifts knee high, sometimes a distance of- a mile and a naif to her post. So great was her success as a disciplinarian iu this school that tnree neighl)oring districts tmtr 248 MAY WHITNEY KMERSON, OF WASHINGTON, D. C. [1860 offered their whooU to lier before the winter term ended. 'I'lif big fellowrt whom «he hud conquered (an only ii woman ean), never dreaming that their " Mttle achool-ma-am" wan only four- teen years old. A nunnner of teacliing followed, after which, fearing that a teacher's life was too arduous for so sensitive and delicate an organization, her friends Induced her to remain at home with books, and brush, and pen. At this time through the Influence of friends, Miss Wlllard offered the gifted girl a half free tuition In the college at Evanstowu, 111., but paternal oppo- sition prevented her acceptance. In the same year the Lo Roy Female seminary made a most generous offer of entire tuition free to the brilliant voung author and artist who was already becoming known to the literary world as possessing rare gifts If not actual genius. Again parental opposition prevented accept- ance. Toward the end of this year a gentleman of nmch cul- ture and an agent of D. Appleton & Co., became Interested In her work and offered to educate her, but the offer was refused, as was a similar one made the same year by a well-known physi- cian of much literary ability, who Included In his offer a four years' course In art study In Europe. But this proud, ambitious, self-reliant descendant of semi-royal Scandinavian and Norman ancestors, nothing daunted by poverty and obstacles, full of impassioned ardor and faith In the work she wished to do, could not brook the galling sense of obligation which such gifts entail. In her sixteenth year, with the assistance of her pen and brush, she went to Ithaca, N. Y., and Ijecame a special student there, with the best Instructors and libraries at hand. The same vear saw a completion of her second novel, "The Battle of Life," concerning which a well-known Washington divine said : '' It has geniuB and power enough for twelve healthy huvuin h"Ok»." When not yet eighteen she entered the Academy of Design In New York, where she won every prize then In the hands of the socie- ty to give to a woman. With four or five companion students she helped to originate and organize the school known as the Art Students' League of New York, the most advanced art school In America, or perhaps In the world, where women may enjoy absolutely equal opportunities for study with men. She was one of this school's Incorporators, and for three years one of Its managers. Her health suddenly falling, she was compelled to abandon all mental pursuits and s|)ent a year In the West, resting and regaining health. She then returned to New York to renew her art and literary work, and continued there until October, 1882, when she contracted a marriage with Nathaniel Waldo Emerson, M. D., of Boston, Mass., to which city she removed. 1887 and '88 were spent with her husband and Infant son In Germany, where she again took up her literary and artist- ic work wholly laid aside since marriage. Some of her most valuable work was done during this period, but the limits of this sketch will not permit an extended notice of it. Returning to America in 1889, she found that her matrimonial venture had met with shipwreck, and she was compelled to secure legal freedom from an unfaithful huf band. She immediately plunged into historical and genealogical research ; organized and brought into working order the "Society ue Sancto Claro" numbering many hundred members, of which she is secretary ; entered the lecture field with two papers which have proved eminently suc- cessful on " Our Norse Discoverers," and " The Origin and His- tory of the Norse Arvel Cup, or Holy Grail." At her.

Finally he settled upon the farm, and entered zealously upon the task of l)eautifying his home for the coming years. The observing stranger who passes along the state road one mile west of Albion, N. Y., will see a six gabled (iothic building whose sharp roof and dormer windows .show most attractively aliovo the dark green of the fir trees and the Norway pines in which it is embowered and surrounded. This is the homo he built, and which he occupied. It is where his children grew to manhood, and to which they turn with loving eyes, for every tree, bush, flower, and whatever else adds a charm, was planted and tended by their parents or tltemsolves. Within the house in later days one would hardly have recognized in the gray haired old man the once dashing athlete and captain of the Orleans Grays, nor in the smiling matron the early belle of Pleasant Valley, yet they were the same. Their faith changed not and their hearts did not grow old. The home life of Mr. 8t. Clair and his family was particularly pleasant and inspiiing. Being passionately fond of music, he played the clarionette, each of his sons played upon some instrument, and as they played together the influence of home grew stronger. All were fond of books and the habit of reading aloud by turns each evening gave pleasure to all and made home very attractive. All of their sons were baptized in the Episcopal church and their religions training was strict, but softened and endeared by precept and example. Mr. St. Clair and his wife were members and attendants of the Episcopal churah. They celebrated their golden wedding in 1883. Mr. St. Clair died in Albion of paralysis Oct. 29, and was buried in Mcunt Albion cemetery Nov. 1, 1893. She resides at Albion, N. Y. CHILDREN. 1352. Alphonzo Turrell St. Clair* (1892), b.

She was born in Barre (in the portion now Albion), N. Y., Dec. 21, 1823. She was educated at the Phipps Union seminary, at Albion, N. Y. She loved her books, and was a sqccessful scholar. When her school days closed she devoted her life to the care of her invalid mother, to her music her books, and doing good whenever an opportunity offered. For fifteen years she was the constant, gentle, lo^^ng nurse and comforter of lier mother. She was an interesting writer, and her articles appeared in the papers and magazines of that time. One of her books, "Senora Ines, or the American Volunteers," is replete with interest. Since the death of her parents, her home has been with her brother, Capt. Charles Noi-throp St. Clair, with whom she still lives in Albion, N. Y. His children, and others of the St, Clair family, remember her with deepest affection and gratitude for her loving kindness and tender care. She was an accomplished scholar, and in early life had excellent offers of positions as teacher, one being that of princi- pal of a seminary in Milwaukee, Wis., which were from necessity declined. In personal appearance she is tall, with fair complex- ion, blue eyes, and brown hair. Through her thoughtfulness, love of kindred, great care, and painstaking much of the valuable infor- mation and many of the records of this branch of the St. Clair family have Ijeen preserved. To her they, as well as the author of this history, are greatly indebted. • She is calmly gliding down life's stream, happy in her home, with her books, and secure in the love of her kindred. 1364. Hannibal Cicero St. Clair^ [594] (Le^'i Hunt', James", Thomas*, Joseph*, James', John*). He was born in Essex, Essex CO., N. Y., July 18, 1825. Went to East Cleveland, Ohio, with his parents, and in 1832, to Rochester, 111. Was educated in the com- mon schools : was brought up upon a fann, but became acquainted with mill or factory work. In 1846 he went to Mt. Pulaski, Logan CO., 111., as an apprentice to a merchant. In 1849 he crossed the plains to California with an ox team. While there he was a mer- chant in Saciamento; was engaged in boating on the Sacramento river, mining, and a contract builder in Nevada city, where he made 254 HANNIBAL C. ST. CLAIR, OF KING FISHER, OKLOHAMA. [1864 I I , and lost a fortune. In 1851 he returned to Illinois via Mexico, Centra! America, Cuba, and New Orleans. He located in Mt. Pulaski, and became a merchant. He there married Nov. 6, 1851, Eliza Ellen, daughter of James H. and Mary Ann (Casady) Neal of Rochester, III. She was born in Bourbon county, Va., in 1830, and died at Rochester, 111., Sept. 27, 1854, leaving one child. He married in Lancaster, Ohio, Oct. 7, 1858, Catherine Ring. She was born in Lancaster, Sept. 7, 1833, is the granddaughter of Joseph and daughter of Greorge and Susanna (Ludwig) Ring. Her father was born in Essex, Mass., Jan. 2, 1787; died in Lancaster, Ohio, April 6, 1862. Mr. St. Clair rendered valuable services in the cause of the Union during the war. He enlisted in company G, 35th regi- ment, Illinois infantry, March 1, 1862; was promoted to a 1st lieu- tenant and detailed as brigade quartermaster; subsequently was appointed "A. A. Division Quartermaster, 3d Division, 4th Army Corps, Army of the Cumberland" and held that position till the close of his term of service. He participated in several battles, at Cor- inth, May 28 and 29, 1862. He was highly complimented by his superior officers for his efH- ciency in building breastworks and fortifications, for his discipline, and commendable care for the health and comfort of his men. While acting as division quartermaster, he was continually in the field transporting supplies, and had many thrilling adventures and narrow escapes from being captured by the enemy, but he never lost a train, often assisted in laying pontoon bridges and crossing his trains under the fire of the enemy's guns. Was at one period in command of Greorgetown, Ky. He was skirmishing continually during that memorable march to Atlanta, 6a. ; was frequently detailed by Gen- eral Thomas and by General Sherman to execute hazardous marches for forage and supplies, sometimes into and through the enemy's lines. His train was held as near the front as possible, with rations, ammunition, and sanitary stores, and he was one of the first to enter Atlanta. On thb evacuation of that place, he returned to Nashville, in Greneral Thomas' command. During the last battle at Nashville, Tenn., he was on Gen. T. J. Wood's staff, and was one of the first to scale the intrenchments, and during this battle the explosion of a caisson caused him the loss of the use of one ear. He participated in the battle of Franklin, and was soon after discharged. After it the cruel war was o'er" he resided at Mt. Pulaski, 111., then at Decatur, and in 1871 removed to Belle Plaine, Sumner co., Kansas, and pre-empted 160 acres of land, and fenced it with hedge fences, had valuable orchards, and a fine park. His farm was a model and his time was devoted to raising fine stock, fruit, and vegetables. His public record has been one of honor, and of which any man might be proud. He was once coroner of Logan co.. 111., and in 1875 was elected to the state senate of Kansas, from the 25th district, com- prising 13 counties, by a majority of over 6000. For eleven years be was a member of the State Board of Agriculture, and vice- president of tlie board in 1880, '82, and '83. For several years was 4, mv^< !R, OKLOHAHA.

In the spring of 1855 he came to Mantorville, Minn., and his family came in the autumn of the same year. He leaves a wife, two sons and four daughters to feel the stroke of Divine Providence. We say to feel the stroke ! Who would not feel the loss of such a fond husband, and such a tender and affectionate father us he? Whatever Divine Grace may do for us, it was never designed, we liclievc, to supplant the natural affections of the human heart, ft may comfort and support, but the cleav- ing stroke must be felt, and felt much in proportion as we are able to prize the object sundered from us. In this event not only a private fuiniiy but a church is bereaved. Mr. Bunker was one of the seven original members of the Congregational church in this place.

Sinclair^ [936] (Charles Grandison*, Lieut. Rich- ard*, Col. Richard*, Samuel*, John*, John*). Hon. John G. Sinclair was born in Barnstead, X. H., March 25, 1826. He married Oct. 29, 1847, Tamar Merrill Clark, who was born in Landaff, N. H., Sept. 2, 1828, and was daughter of Col. Daniel and Mary (Merrill) Clark of that town. She was a person of a retiring nature, of modest demeanor, and of rare intelligence and good judgment. She was ever true to her ideas of right, was a faithful wife and mother, a helpful and sympathizing friend; was a member of the Metho- dist church, and died in Littleton, N. H., Feb. 10, 1872. Mr. Sinclair married 2d, July 10, 1874, Mre. Mary Elizabeth (Pierce) Blandin, widow of Willard A. Blandin, and daughter of John and Rebecca (Cnshman) Pierce of Bethlehem, N. H. She was born there April 9, 1837. She was a member of the Orthodox Congregu- tional churoh in Bethlehem, and upon her removal to Orlando, Fla. , her church relations were transferred to the church in that place. She is an earnest worker in the church, and for charitable objects. As a youth Mr. Sinclair was an industrious student, a bright and successful scholar. Nature gave him a strong, muscular frame ; his health was robust, he possessed much animal spirits, was full of wit, and a great lover of athletic sports. But life's duties pressed early upon him, and at the age of thirteen years he entered the emplo}' of some merchants in Landaff, N. H., with whom he remained six yeara. He prepared for college at the institution at Newbury, Vt., and reluctantly gave up a collegiate course, which he greatly desired, and engaged in business. He was first in business in Manchester, N. H., then in Lawrance, Mass., and having accummulated some means, he located in Bethlehem, N. H., as proprietor of a country store, and a manufacturer of starch. Quickly he won the confidence and favor of the conmiunity. He was called into political life, and represented Bethlehem in the legislature in 1852-53, '54, '55, '62, '63, '76, '77, '78, and was a member of the convention chosen to revise the Constitution of the stat«. In 1873, while a resident of the adjoining towh of Littleton, he was elected to represent that town in the legislatm-e. In 1858 and '59 he was a member of the New Hampshire Senate. There were some brilliant episodes in his career during bis long and active legislative history. He was acknowledged to be one of the most daring, most aggressive, and •'•''WlllMliilfc,, 280 HOK. JOHN O. SINCLAIR, OF ORLANDO, FLA. [1684 iirmi i 1' clear-headed leaders of the Democratic party in New Hampshire; one of its V .'enest, most pungent, and brilliant speakers. In 186C he A as the Etemocratic candidate for Governor, but failed of an election. In 1867 he was again the standard bearer of his party, and in obedience to the instructions of the convention which nominated him, and which knew his powers, he issued a challenge to a joint public discussion of the question at issue to his dashing oratorical competitor, Gren. Walter Harriman, the Republican nomi- nee. It was accepted, and then ensued one of the most interesting, exciting, and brilliant campaigns in the history of the state. They were wann personal friends. They traveled together, and were each other's guests in their respective towns. Both were fine orators, and great throngs of people attended their discussions as they jour- neyed through the state. Their speeches attracted great attention in and beyond the state, and editorials in the leading journals criticised the ailments of the intellectual athletes. The contest was sharp ; a heavy vote was polled, and the Democratic banner again trailed in defeat. But Mr. Sinclair still retained his leading position in the councils of hi*; party, and was again renominated in 1868. In 1868 he was the chaiimbn of the NeW Hampshire delegation in the National Democratic convention. During the administration of Governor Baker he was appointed bank commissioner, and retained the ofllne until the Know-Nothing party rode into power in the full flood of the tide of popular favor.

Charles Henry St. Clair* [1353] (Charles Northrop% James, Jr.*, James', Thomas*, Joseph*, James', John'). He was born Aug. 8, 1886, at Albion, Orleans co., N. Y. From the fourth to the twelfth year of his age, he lived with his grandparents, Joel and Elizabeth Tureell at Pleasant Valley, Dutchess oo., N. Y. Then he returned to his home and completed his education at the Albion academy when 18 years of age. After spending two years in Union Springs, N. Y., Bloomington and Rochester, 111., he went to New Orleans,- La. , in 1858, and he entered the medical college, and sub- sequently he engaged in the business of steam boating on the Missis- sippi river. He secured his license as a pilot of the flrst-iclass when the war broke out in 1861. He made a daring escape from the Confederates and became pilot of and aboard of the U. S. ship Har- riet Lane, under Commander Waiuwright of Admiral Farragut's fleet. Was before Vicksburg, Grand Gulf, and Port Hudson. When Farragut's fleet left the Mississippi river he piloted the entire mortar fleet over the S. W. Pass bar and out to sea. The fleet consisted of 13 schooners each carrying an 11 -inch mortar. With high testimonials from his commander he was ordered to join the Mississippi squadron under Admiral D. D. Porter, at Cairo, 111., and was assigned to duty on the steamship Oeiveral Price, and sen-ed on the lower river till the close of the war. He had many vivid experiences, and hair breadth escapes. He was selected as pilot for exposed w^ooden steamers, transports and despatch boats. With an open transport steamer, he as pilot towed the great ironclad Essex and others into position before Vicksburg, Port Hudson, and other places, and in the exposed pilot house of the ram Oeneral Prke he rammed an opening through the obstructions in the Red river, cleared away the torpedoes, and towed many of the ironclads through the channel. During these times often the leaden hail fell thick and fast about him and the sail- ors used to say, ''it rained lamp posts," for the long 18-inch conical rifle shells as they came near them seemed to scream out the words, ' ' Where is he ? Where is he ?" •In Admiral D. D. Porter's book, "Incidents of the Civil War," pages 244-45, he says : " I mention this simply to show the kind of experiences to which the navy in the West was subject, and the courage which the offi- cers and Men exhibited. Think of being pursued day after day by a party of bushwhackers, watching from behind trees a chance to pick you off. One can hardly realize the danger to which pilots of the squadron were exposed. I have seen a pilot receive a bullet in his brain the instant his hand touched the wheel, llie pilots were targets for the enemy to shoot at, and he who could boast he had killed one was a popular man. The pilots were worthy western men by birth, but passing their lives on the Mississippi river brought them into intimate relations With the southern people, wno looked upon all who were loyal to the Union as traitors to the 804 DR. ARTHUR KNOWLES ST. CLAIR OF MARQUETTE, MICH. [1895 After the war Mr. St. Clair resumed the biisinesB of steamboat- mg on tlie Mississippi and other rivers. On (Jet. 80, 1866, he was married in Trinity, La., to Mary Alice, only daughter of Capt. Isaac and Sarah J. (Buctianan) Johnson of New Albany, lud., and grand- daughter of Abraham Johnson of Barre, N. Y. She was born in New Albany, Ind., Oct. 26, 1847. During their wedding tour, while he was in New Orleans, the steamer was blown up and all save two of her officers were killed. At the earnest solicitation of Mrs. St. Clair, he gave up that avocation and went into business in New Orleans, La., where he remained till 1872, when he removed to Mor- gan City, that state. He was elected city treasurer in 1873, elected mayor in 1874, and served for eight years. Was elected a member of the General Assembly in 1879, for the parish of St. Mary, and served on many important committees till 1884. Then he was re-elect- ed, but being a Republican was denied his seat. He is in business in Morgan City, La., where he resides, and has for many years held places of trust and honor in different orders and societies. A writer, Nathan W. Gootlale, says of him: "Always honored, respected, and l)eloved, his courage and tireless labor during the awful yellow fever epidemic of 1878-79, for his people has endeared him to them more than words can express, and will for a generation to come cause hiH name to be spoken of with heartfelt blessings by those who knew him personally and by reputation." 1805.

His education was received in the common hc1i(h>!s of Ik>thlchein, at tiie semihary at what is now Tilton, N. II., at the academy at Newbury, Vt., and at Phillip's Academy at Kxeter, N. H. He entered iJartmonth College, but did not graduate. His tastes led him into a more active Held. He withdrew from college and entered into business. For one and a half years he was in Lexington, Mich. He returned to New Hampshire and soon established a wholesale and retail Hour and feed store in Littleton, N. II. While a resident of that town he was ♦elected a representative to the legislature. Gov. James A. Weston made him a colonel on his staff. Subsequently he moved to Ports- mouth, N. H., and became a partner with Hon. Frank Jones in his large and extensive business ; this partnership has continued to the present. His business office is 17 State street, Boston, Mass. In business and railroad circles he is one of the most active and prominent men in New Hampshire. He is a large owner in the Boston & Maine railroad, and was a director in that great corpora- tion for several years. Much stock of the Worcester, Nashua, and Rochester railroad is his, and he was president of that road for several years. He, with others, built the Hereford railroad, the Upper Coos railroad, and the Upper Coos Extension railroad, making in all about one hundred and ten miles of road. Of the Manchester & Lawrence railroad he is a large owner, and for several years suc- cessively has been annually chosen its president. He is the founder of the Morley Button Manufacturing Co., the largest industry of its kind in the United States. The Portsmouth * Mr. Sinclair is the 10th generation in descent front Richard KimbalU.

[1929 Shoe Co. was founded by him, of which he is the larRest owner. It is the largest shoe manufactory of its kind in the world, and employB about twelve liimdred liands, witli an aimual pay roll of over five lumdred thousand dollars. He is a director in several banks and trust companies. A newspaper has also engaged his attention. Of the PortHmouth Daily Times, published in Portsmouth, N. H., he is the owner and publisher. But while so actively and so extensively engaged in these various busipess enterprises, he has not forgotten nor neglected those public interests which should engage the thought and attention of every true citizen. An active and leading part has been taken by him in the politics of his native state. No other young man of his party has been so prominent. He was a member of the Senate of New Hamp- shire from 1888-1892, and was one of its readiest speakers and most influential members. During one of these sessions he was, as his father had been before him, the standard bearer of his party for the United States Senator against the successful Republican nominee, H6n. Jacob H. (lallinger. He was elected a member of the New Hampshire House of Representatives from 1892-94, and in 1893 was for the third time elected State Senator for the term from 1894- 96, an office he still holds. During the last session of the legisla- ture he was for the second time the candidate for the Democratic party for United States Senator against the winning Republican incumbent, Hon. William E. Chandler. In all these contests he has received the strength of his party. He married in November, 1873, Emma Isabel Jones, the niece and adopted daughter of Hon. Frank Jones, and resides in Portsmouth, N. H. In that quiet city, on the shore of the blue Atlantic, is his beautiful home. Surrounded by his interesting family, amid works of art and those embellishments which wealth can bring, he finds pleasure and delight. In that charming retreat his friends are always welcome, and there he dispenses a generous hospitality. He is now in the prime of life, in perfect health, with a robust and stalwart frame, full of activity and ambition. His mental powers are of the best quality. His mind is strong and clear, his opinions positive and pronounced, and he possesses great courage. His past has been a success, and the coming years can hardly fail to bring greater honors and promotions at the hands of his fellow citizens. CHII/DRGN BORN PORTSMOUTH, N. H. ' 1929.

He then studied law, but failing health obliged him to seek another and milder climate. He purchased a frait farm, mostly oranges, in Lugonia, southern California, where he located in 1887, and where he now lives in excellent health.

A union of the branches after a separation of a thousand years. Mrs. May Whitney Emerson (No. 1350) writes as follows: "The Viking of a thousand years ago, "Terror of the world," as Charlemagne called them, give us by direct descent from Odin and through Charlemagne's granddaughter, all members of the Sinclair clans in ^America. Among their myriad descendants, not Sinclair by name, were several of the brave Vikings of 1893 who crossed the North Atlantic to attend the World's Fair. Captain Magnus Anderson, commander of the Viking ship, was a descendant of Berdon Seilstad, who shot Col. George Sinclair at Kringelen Pass (see latter part of page 49) with a silver button bitten from his uniform ; ' for,' said Seilstad, ' ye can not kill a Sinclair with lead.' Johan Ericson was lineal descendant of Red Erise's son. Alfred A. Holm, secretary of the Viking ship of 1893, was descended by the Einar from Rogenwald. At a banquet given in Chicago, July 19, 1893, by Mrs. May Whitney Emerson to the Vikings, a health was drunk in one cup to the mt^moi'y of Berdon Seilstad and Col. George Sinclair by descendants of the slayer and the slain. A romantic love-marriage was the result of this banquet. Miss Gladys Maud Seymour of La Cross, Wis., was one of the twelve young ladies to lead the twelve Vikings to dinner. To her lot fell Mr. Alfred A. Holm of Christiania, Noi-way. From that hour they "were inseparable. On the Ist of March, 1894, they were married, and tlie happy pair are now at home in Christiania, on the very land owned a thousand years ago by their ancestor Rogenwald." CHILD. 1951g.

In that memorable contest which attracted so widespread interest at the time, and which hfts become historic in the political annals of New Hampshire, Mr. Sinclair delivered the following speech in the joint discussion with Gen. Walter Haniman at Littleton, N. U., Feb. 12, 1867. Reported for the Boatm Post by William B. Smart. Mr. PraidetU, Ladies, and Gentlemen: — It was well understood by my friends that at the time of my nomination bv the late Democratic convention, on account of multiplied and pressing enKajrements of my own, my inclination was to decline the nomination then tendered me. I desired also to take that step because 1 believed then as I now believe, that there was in that convention a distinguished soldier, and eminent citizen, who having been long withdrawn from active partici- pation in political struggles would command a larger vote than any other gentleman within the state. I need hardly say that I refer to Gen. John Bedell, a man of courage never questioned, of probity beyond suspicion, of capacity beyond cavil, and of character beyond reproach. 1 wish to say here and now, that my own convictions as to what is best for our state, and what may be a necessity arising out of my private affairs, may lead me to fulfil before the second Tuesday of March, this desire and pur- pose. I have, however, felt it to be my duty, as it certainly is my pleasure, to yield to the command of the convention which nominated me, and meet Mr. Harriman before the people at the times and places agreed upon and already published in the papers of the state. Now, Gentlemen, I ought in addition to these remarks to state to you what other action I have t^en with reference to meeting the Conservative men of this state in an etton to subserve its best interests. To merge narrow attachments merely to party in a broad, true, and earnest devotion to the permanent and njgne« interests of the state, to defend and uphold the constitution, to guard with viirilance the finances of the state, to return to the severe economy of for- mer years, and thus gradually to pay our debts, instead of mcreasmg them. To see to it that places of high public trust and responsibility be filled by men of probity, beyond suspicion, and of capacity and character witn- out taint, to utter our indignant protest against the tncks of scheming parti- sans being allowed to thwart the determined will of the people. To guarantee that party organizations be maintained for the public good, and never for the mere gratification of place men, who are always ready tp serve their country when and where they can best serve themselves. I hoped that these and other obiecte calculated to promote the honor, dignity, and pros- perity of the state would be bravely, earnestly, and pereistantly promul- gated by the recent convention caUed ostensibly to put Onslow Steams in LIB.

I hoped that nor, dignity, and pros- d persistantly promul- put Onslow Steams in nomination for Governor, and I further hoped to encourage and actively join in action, looking to these results. It was communicated to Mr. steams and many of his friends, that in my judgment if we would save anything worth saving, if we would restore hannony to the land, if we would relieve ourselves and our children from pecuniary embarrassment, if we would check extravagance and peculation, if we would revive the old tone and patriotic fervor, past issues might well be held iti abeyance for the time, and that I was willing to grapple manfully in conjunction ' with them, with the momentous issues which are upon us, which are in fact at this moment upon our very threshold. You know what was the unanticipated result of the last of the three conventions held at Concord on the 29th ult, composed of men who, independent of higher ground, had publicly proclaimed that the Gubernatorial nomination of the man who is now on tnis platform was for various reasons not fit to be made. Now, Gentlemen, we are left to enter upon this struggle with all our energies and I believe with as elevated motives as ever nave, or can animate us. In order that the momentous issues which are now upon us might be fairly met and discussed, I prepared some interrogatories, comprehending those issues which I read and submitted to the candidate of the Republican party at our first meeting at Colebrook, that he might have ample time for their consideration, pledging myself to consider and answer any and all guestions involving the issues of the present campaign which he might see t to put, or promptlv acknowledge my inability to do so.

I will now proceed to present to you such considerations as I think are entitled to weight, and should bring us to victory. Allow me to say that I am here to compare considerations with the candidate of the Republi- can party with re^d to what is best for the interests of the citizens of New Hampshire, and what is best for the entire country. 1 shall not attempt to entertain you with tropes and figures, or with anything other than tacts and reason. It is vain to recur to the past, except so far as the lessons of the past may guide us for the present or the future. If I were disposed I could quote from the candidate himself as to the causes which inevitably produced the terrible Civil War through which we have passed, and the means which, when it was upon us, should have been resorted to for its avoidance. I lay down as a fundamental principle, recognized and endorsed by Mr^ Lincoln in his messages and proclamations, what has l)een denominated as the Crittendon resolution, in these words: " Resolved, That the present deplorable Civil War has been forced upon the country by the disunionists of the Southern states, now in arms against the Constitutional government, that in this National emergency, banishing all feelings of mere passion and resentment, we will recollect only our duty to the whole country, that this war is not waged on our part in any spirit of oppression, or for any purpose of conquest or subjugation or purpose of overthrowing or interfering with the rights or established institutions of these 818 BPERCH OF HON. JOHN 0. SINCLAIR. $tat«$, but to defend and maintain the eupretnaey of the Conetitution and to pre- eerve the Union mith all the dignity, equally, ana rights of the Mveral atates unimpftirad, and that as aoon as these objects are aooomplished, the war ought to oease." Now it is not neoessarv to repeat what evervbody knows, that the doc- trines and opinions of that resolution were adfopted by the United States Senate ana House of Kopresentativea with almost entire unanimity. Will the candidate pretend that with vitality ffiven to that resolution, we should not today be a happy, prosperous, and united people? With every state performing its Constitutional functions, and enjoying its Constitutional rights. Now, with these declarations of Congress what had the South, what had men North or South who possessed the least regard to either honor, consistency, or truth, the right to expect'/ That ten states of thin Union were to be reduced to the condition of territories? That in violation of the most obvious principles of the Constitution they were to be subjected to taxation without representation, and to the control of a government in which thev had no participation? If that be not des- potism will the candidate tell us what constitutes despotism? Not the republic of 1789, under the constitution, but the very identical despotism against which our fathers, who framed that Constitution, fought at Lexing- ton and Bunker Hill. Are you willing to either advocate, endorse or excuse this line of conduct? H you are, which I cannot believe, let me ask your attention to another view of this subject. How such action must inevitably affect your intereste here at home. The debt of the United States government is today reckoned bv thciiands of millions of dollars, every state groans under ito burden of eiisUt indebtedness, every county, everv town has ite credit strained to the i .ttermost. The interest, at least, of tnis immense indebtedness must be an^iually paid. To what source and from what means must the American people look for the payment of the taxation inevitable from this condition of things? You answer at once that our sole reliance must be upon energetic and speedy development of the gigantic resources of our land, that (Mveloprnent can only follow the con- dition of the country contemplated by the Crittendon resolution upon the cessation of hostilities, and yet how different is our condition from that contemplated in that resolution. For nearly two vears our armies have been "disbanded," war has caased, the laws of tne United States have their legitimate force from t .o end to the other of our extended domain, slavery nas been abolished Uy the adoption of the Constitutional Amend- ment oy the South itself. The Rebel debt has been repudiated, the authority of the United States everywhere acknowledged and nowhere resisted, and yet we have the very recent authority of Mr. Stanton, Secre- tary-of-War, that at no time within the past five years has the country been in a condition either so critical or so dangerous as at the present moment. Now, what causes and what constitutes this impending danger? Why in the second year of absolute peace are ten states of this Union kept in a condition almost of disorganization, with theu productive resources par- alyzed, and their people held in a state of absolute want? Why is it that the cotton and' wheat crop of the South are reduced in this second vear of peace to about one twentieth of their former amount? Why is it that the mar- keto of the South are practically shut to the New England manufacturer? Why it it that the old annual contribution of $500,000,000 from the cot- ton crop is cut off in this our time of need from the National resources? Is it because we have " banished all feeling of mere passion and resent- ment, nnd recollect only our whole duty to the whole country?" Is it becau'ic there is no " spirit of oppression or subjugation, or purpose of overthrowing or interfering with the righto or established institationa of DLAIR. SPEECH OP HON. JOHN 0. SINCLAIR.

Is it because of a Ht«rn determination to " maintain the supremacy of the Constitution and pretterve the Union with all the dignity, equality, and rights of the several states unimpaired," or is it because all these pledges and principles, and rights have oeen violated, and spit upon, and trammed under foot for the low purposes of personal ambition, partisan malignity, and political aggran- dizement? Does the candidate deny the soundness of the Crittendon reso- lution? Does he deny the soundness of the theory of Mr. Lincoln's mes- sages and proclamations based upon the principles of that resolution? Now, instead of the clear patriotic, aye Christian sentiments and pledges of that resolution, what are the propositions today before the country, and what the surrounding facts? 1st. It is claimed that ten states, under various pretexts, are out of the Union and therefore requiie to be reconstructed, or in other words, are mere territories and require readmission. 2d. That being in the Union they have by their participation in the Rebellion placed in abeyance the right guaranteed to the states of repre- sentation in Congress. As to the first propoHition, they have been recog- nized as states in the Union by every department of the government, the Executive, the Legislative, and the Judicial. By the Executive depart- ment in the messages and proclamations of President Lincoln and the sub- sequent corresponding action of President Johnson. Bv the Legislative department, in the concurrent action of both houses of Congress at the commencement of the war, and always by their reference of the amend- ment abolishing slavery to their state Legislatures, by the admission of the members of Tennessee, and by various other acts. By the Judicial branch, in the consideration of suits by the Supreme Court between citizens of those and other states. Now, let us see, if these various recognitions are well founded, what are the palpable facts of history within the clear knowl- edge and personal recollections of every ono within the sound of my voice. In 1800 the Southern states claimed that they had the right to secede and attempted to put that right into practical execution. The North, in posses- sion 01 the government, denied the riffht and war followed upon this exact issue. The South fighting for the right, and the North fighting to prevent its exercise as avowed by every department of our own and the so called Confederate government, and the question was decided by arms that no matter what the theory, secession was a practical impossibility. What then was the condition of things? They had said that they had the right to secede or eo out of the Union, and would exercise it The North said that they haa no such right, and should not exercise it. The South having failed, where were the states left? The South had not taken them out, for they were unsuccessful in their attempt, where were thev then, except in the Union? The North fought to keep them in, and if they are out Uien was the issue of war decided against, and not in favor of t£e North. If then, the cessation of hostilities left these states in the Union, they are entitled to all the rights of sovereign states, and under the plainest provisions of the Constitution, entitled to the right and subject to the duty of representation in Congress, for no one will be so bold as to assert that each state is not the political equal of every other state, and entitled to equal rights. If a state has no individual right of secession, is there any power to turn a state out of the Union? The right of state secession has been claimed by extreme states rights men from the first adoption of the Constitution, but when and where has the claim ever been made, up to the last year, of the right of Congress to turn a state out of the Union, or depnve it of any of its rights? Where is the clause of the Constitution which justifies it or even recognizes the continKency either expressly or by implication. But the candidate may say it woiud be dangerous to aUow the ( I sto 8PRRCH OK HON. JOHN O. SINCLAIR. I ' South ita oonititutional rtKhU. I reply, finit, thai there is and can b« no danger ho great bn a phiin, nulpable violation of the great fundamental law. If it ue dangerou* to oliey the ConHtitution, then our whole theory of government Ih a fraud, and worne than a farce. HuppoM that a laaior- ity of CongreiH Hhoiild fancy that it would be dangerous to allow New Hammhire renreoentation in CongreitH, what would be the obvious anawer? Would it not tie, (ientlenien, our right of reproHeiitation, thank God, doen not rest upon the real aHHUined opinion of Congress as to whether it would be Iwtter for us to have representation, but is an absolute right, Suaranteed bv the Constitution, of which no power on earth can rightfully eprive us, which cannot be determined by any real or fancied danger, for it IB a risrht the exiHtiMicH and exercise of which does not admit of discus- sion, without insult to the fathers who guaranteed that right without pos- sible exception. But, suppose for the sake of argument, that it is admissable. under cer- tain cirounistances or exigencies to palpably violate the Constitution, and every principle of popular government, to have taxation without repre- sentation, government without constituencv or consent of the governed. What are tnose exigencies? Why, the candidate says it would be danger- ous to allow the .South to participate in the affairs of the government. Dangerous to what, and to whom')* Does he seriously assert that the six millions of the South would out-vote and control the twenty-two millions of the North.- The former impoverished by the terrible realities of a four years devastating war waged upon its soil, its people suffering almost for tiie common necessities of life, and the latter rolling in boasted wealth. It is impossible to heighten the absurdity which the mere statement of the case, as it exists, carries with it. But the gentleman says, would you allow Rebels to participate in the affairs of the governraentV I answer, dis- franchisement of political communities is neither a legitimate, proper, or legal punishment, for crime is only to be punished by the means and in the manner provided in the Constitution by indictment, trial by jury, with all the safeguardfi for the decision of questions, both of law and fact, which that sacred instrument provides. Individuals, not communities, com- mit crime under all free governmeuta, and specified punishments provided in advance, follow trials ^nd convictions under our Constitution. Not ex-poit facto punishments, expressly forbidden, not only by common sense and justice, the world over, but by the clearest provisions of our funda- mental law. Dangerous to abide by the Constitution and the plainest prin- ciples of the common law is it, dangerous to permit the population of the ten states of the Union to participate in the affairs of the government? If this be dangerous, viho can estimate the danger which would be the natural and inevitable result of their exclusion, by teaching by the most impressive and fatal lesson possible to be taught to six millions of people, that they are under and not of the government, that they are a proscribed race, that the doors of political position, aye, of decent livelihood, are for- ever closed to them, that they are the Irish of England,. the Poles of Russia, the Hungarians of Austria, and the Chriatians of Turkey, compelled to learn the lesson of undying hatred themselves, and teach and transmit it with increasing virulence to their children and their children's children. Was the object of the late terrible strife not to restore the Union, and sustain the Constitution, but to show with how much of malignity and how little of conciliation both may be destroyed? England has her Ire- land groaning under oppression and misgovernment, yet English malignity has never yet been found strong enough to suggest the deprivation of com- mon political rights to communities who have engaged in unavailing Rebellion.

JOHK O. SINCLAIR. 821 where are the instances of English governmental shafts levelled at whole communities? Hungary unsuccessfully rebelled, Kossuth fled, and a very few of the leaders were punished and the conciliation and the confirming of new political privileges followed. Russia ground Poland to the dust but the sparks flashing under the iron heel of the oppressor generated revolution after revolution, till conciliation became the ruling policy of the Russian Empire. Does the gentleman believe that six millions of people, descendants of those men who stood shoulder to shoulder with our fathers through the war of the Revolution, bone of our bone, and flesh of our flesh, can be made political outcasts with safety, or that either Christianity, humanity, honor, or statesmanship does not spurn the idea as shocking to the moral sense of mankind? Are the American people prepared to drown all sense of honor, of principle, of humanity, or statesmanship to engraft upon six millions of their own race the desperation of Ireland, the discontent of Hungary, and the despair of Poland? Have the teachings of Christianity given place to the low, groveling sentiments of partisan mali^ity, and to accomplish this, must the plainest provisions of the Constitution, and the most palpable principles of free government be trampled upon, and disre- garded? Are we to go back to the fatal errors of the past? Are we to endeavor to go on without any constitutional restrictions or guaranties? Are we to be deluded with the idea that we can establish in the first place a consolidated Republic to end as all history assures us in a consolidated des- potism,the whole theory of the government changed, and a great central des- potism, erected upon the last hope of mankind? God forbid, men of New Hampshire, whatever others may do, that your hands should be stained with this terrible iniauity. Can unprincipled insolence go farther than to suggest that the descendants of Langdon, and Stark, and Pierce, and Poor, and Scammel take part in this contem- plated outrage, that the sons of those in whose midst the great expounder of the Constitution was born and reared, shall trample in the dust both his teachings and their subject? In God's name and for decency and con- sistency's sake, let the record of New Hampshire's early history and the teachings of the fathers, as embodied in our glorious Bill of Rights, be blotted from existence and all memory thereof annihilated beyond all hope ^ of posbible resurrection, before any degenerate son of New Hampshire shall dare breathe the suggestion of such unparalleled outrage. But the suggest- ed outrage stops not here. Not only is it proposed to disfranchise substan- tially the whole white population and deprive them of all part or lot in the government, but by usurping the right of ever^ sovereign state to place the political power and the destiny of the South in the hands of an inferior and ignorant race, only one step advanced, and that through the institu- tion of Slavery, from the lowest ^^^^ °^ barbarism to repeat here the history of Jamaica and Hayti. What is that history? I quote from a work recently published in London, entitled, "The West Indies, Their Moral and Social Condition," the author of which, E. B. Underbill, was sent out under the auspices of the Baptist Missionary Society of London, and though a thorough-going Abolitionist at the start was obliged to give the following: " We passed by many or through many abandoned plantations, the buUd- inga in ruin, the sugar mills decayed, and the iron pans strewing the road- side, cracked and broken. But for the law which forbids, on pain of con- fiscation, the export of all metals, they would long ago have been sold to foreign merchants. Only once in this long ride did we come upon a mill in use, it was grinding canes in order to manufacture the s;^rup from which Tqfia is made, a kind of inferior rum, the intoxicating drink of the coun- try. In the time of the French occupation, before the Revolution of 1798, 21 822 SPEECH OF HON. JOHN 6. SINCLAIR. 'thousands of hogsheads of sugar were produced, now, not one. All it decay and desolation. The pastures are deserted, and the prickly pear covers the land once laughing with the bright hues of the sugar cane. The plow is an unknown implement of culture, although so eminently adapted to the great plains and deep soil of Hayti. A country so capable of producing for export, and therefore for the enrichment of its people, besides sugar, and conee, cotton, tobacco, the castor-bean, spices, every tropical fruit and many of the fruits of Europe, lies uncultivated, unoccupied, and desolate. Its rich mines are neither explored nor worked, and its beautiful woods rot in the soil where th"}y grow. A little logwood is exported, but ebony, mahog- ony, and the finest building timber, rarely fall oefore the woodman's ax, and then only for local uses. The present inhabitants despise €Ul servile labor, and are, for the most part content with the spontaneous productions of the soil and forests." The degraded barbarous condition of the negroes of Hayti is well illus- trated in a description given by Mr. Underbill of what is known as "The religion of Vandoux, or Serpent Worship." The object worshipped is a small green snake, and the custom is a purely African heathenism. The negro has always a predisposition to it. "The Vandoux", says Mr. Underbill, "meet in a retired spot, designated at a previous meeting. On entering they take olf their shoes, and bind about their bodies handkerchiefs in which a red color predominates. The King is known by the scarlet baud around his head, worn like a crown, and a scarf of the same color distinguishes the Queen. The object of the adoration, the serpent, is placed on a stand. It is then worshipped ; after which the box is placed on the ground, the Queen mounts upon it, is seized with violent tremblings, and gives utterance to oracles in response to the Erayers of the worshippers; a dance closes the ceremony. The Kin^ puts is head on the serpents box; a tremor seizes him which is communicated to the circle. A delirious whirl or dance ensues, heightened by the free use of Tafia. The weakest fall, as if dead, upon the spot. The bacchana- lian revelers, always dancing and turning aoout, are borue away into a place near at hand, where sometimes under the triple excitement of pro- miscuous intercourse, drunkeness and darkness, scenes are enacted, enough to make the impassible Gods of Africa itself gnash their teeth with horror." Such is the revolting picture presented by that race under the influence of emancipation from slavery ; go now to Africa, from whence came, a few generations back, the negroes of the South. Witness the native population sitting upon the sands of the sea shore, basking their naked forms in the rays of the sun, living upon the spontaneous productions of the soil, bowing down to the worship of idols, and tell me if you men of New Hampshire will make the negro the political equal, no, not the political equal, but the political master of the white race; and the negress the equal, aye» the superior of the unfortunate, unoffending white woman of the South and the very men who to-day prate to you of negro equality and negro franchise • are they whose party in New Hampshire was founded upon the idea of depriving Irishmen and foreigners of the' right of suffrage, because, as they claimed, their education and appreciation of republican institutions would not warrant their being trusted with the ballot. But how is it proposed to accomplish this enormity, this absolute destruction of the reserved and sacred rights of the states, this overthrow of the fundamental theory of the Government? Why, the means proposed to be employed and now in process of development are well worthy tne object to be attained: What are those means? Simply the impeachment of the President, the destruction of the Supreme Court, and the absolute usurpa- tion by one of the co-ordinate branches of the government of the constitu- tional powers of the other two co-ordinate departments.

CLAIRS OF NEW HAMPSHIRE, MAINE, AND VERMONT. 1952. Charles Sinkler's name appears among the soldiers of New Hampshire. In the roll of Col. Shadrach Walton's men the name is spelled Sinkler, " The account is for sixty men from .luly 21 to Nov. 8, and for ten men from that time to Nov. 14. The year was not mentioned but it was probably 1710, on the expedition f^ainst Port Royal, which resulted in the capture of that place." SINKI.ERS OF NEW HAMPSHIRE. 1953. George Sinkler*. The indications are that he was a near connection of the Exeter family, and was probably a son of James Sinkler*, No. 7, or John Sinkler", No. 20. Kom as early as 1707, as he was doing bnsiness in 1728, and was presumably 21 years of age. He first appears upon the records as of Exeter, N. H., Sept. 17, 1728, when he contracted to settle upon and carry on land in Not- tingham, N. H., belonging to Aaron Morrill of Salisbury, Mass., for which he received a deed of said Morrill of ten acres of land in Nottingham. He was a resident in that town on Jan. 8, 1733-34, when he sold 40 acres of land there to Nathaniel Oilman. He had lots Nos. 38 and 40, in King street. On May 8, 1734, " now of Exeter," be bought land in Exeter of John McCrelis. He was a resident of Haverhill, Mass., on July 21, 1743, when he purchased one-third of two hundred acres in Nottingham of Aaron Morrill of Salisbury, Mass., the original right of James Calfe. He was of Kingston, N. H., Nov. 28, 1761, when he purchased land in Hamp- stead, N. H., of David and Mehitabel Hale. By trade he was called "Tayler."

John St. Clair* of Strafford, Vt., was without question an offshoot of the New Hampshire family of that name. There is strong reason for supposing that he was a son of Ettenezer Sinclair, the martyr soldier of the Revolution (see No. 129), though there is no positive evidence. He had land deeded to him in Strafford by Ashael Chamberlain. In personal appearance he was tall, straight, and finely proportioned. His date of birth was Jan. 18, 1778, and he died in Burlington, Vt., July 4, 1817, and is buried there. Mrs. St. Clair was Rboda Merrill^ a sister of John Merrill of Claremont, N. H.

He made his home with that family until he attained his majority. Late in life he was second agent of the Copperas Hill Mining Works, and tilled the place acceptably for many years. In 1836 he went to the city of New York, and was connected with the establishment of the Croton water works.

During this period he attended the common school, and two terms in the academy at Thetford, Vt. He taught country schools for three winters. In 1835 he went to Jewells Island, in Casco Bay, Me., and had charge of the copperas and alum works, where he remained six years.

Robert Sinklcr, in the old records, was an early resident of Wells, Me. The relationship which existed l)ctwcen )iim and John Sinkler the first of Exeter, N. H., is not known. It is probable that he was a son of the aforesaid John of Exeter, although there has been found no evidence of this in any will or other record. Many wills and deeds in former times were never recorded at the county ottlces, and were ultimately lost, it was not an uncommon thing for one to deed to his sou in land what he considered would be that son's poi-tion of his estate, and then make no mention of said son in his will. This may have been the case with John Sinkler of Exeter, in relation to Robert Sinkler of Wells, Me. The distance between the places was not great, many citizens of Exeter had set- tled in Wells, and the latter place was an outlet for the older settle- ment, and furnished a home for its surplus inhabitants and sons of its older residents. There it was that Rev. John Wheelwright and his colony found a refuge when they fled from Exeter. The com- munication between tiie citizens of the two towns, as evidenced upon the records, was very close and intimate, and transfers of land from tlie citizens of one town to the citizens of the other were continu- ally luking place. It is not unlikely, indeed it is extremely proba- ble, that Robert Sinkler of Wells had received land there as his part of his inheritance, although such deed of conveyance may not be on record. Inhere are several evidences of close relationship between John Sinkler of Exeter and his supposed son, Robert Sin- kler of Wells. The age of the latter was right for him to be a son of the former. The same christian names have for generations been perpetuated in either branch ; the habits, customs, and occupations of persons of the two lines have been lacgely the same, and at this day there is a strong family resemblance between representatives of the diverged and diverging lines. From the earliest record John Sinkler of Exeter was a pioneer, and struck out upon the frontier of civilization, and through all gen- erations to the present, his descendants have been pioneers, and liave loved frontier life. Many of them have been mechanics, the owners of sawmills, and other kinds of manufactories. It seemed JSmBiit ■n S80 JOHN SINKLER, OF ARUNDELL, ME.

Ko»K!rt Sinkler, his supposed un<'lo, was there much earlier, altiiough the records do not state the exact time. Ho was there early in its history, for that town in a pul)lic town meeting on March IH, 1812-14, voted him a grant of 100 aci-es, and 10 acres of meatlow. The latter remained in the possession of his family until May 20, 17;U, when it was sold by his son. Whom he married is not known. Ho died previous to April 28, 1718, and on Dec. 10, 1734, his sou in a deed alludes to him as " late of Wells, deceased." His wife was Elizabeth , who on April 28, 1718, married 2d Peter Rich of Wells, and several times in deeds she aud her husband relinquished power of thirds and right of dower in Robert Sinkler's land.

He was born as early as 1713, probably in Wells, Me., as he deeded land May 20, 1734, and must have been of age. He was a resident of Wells, Me., in what is now Kennebunk, near the old Larrabee (iarrison on the bank of the Mousam river. In an old deed he is called cordwainer. On May 20, 1734, aud Dec. 23, the same year, he deeded away land which had belonged to his father. He bought land and two-thirds of a uawmill Feb. 1, 1738. Ou March 17, 1841, he sold his dwelling •Rye, Normandy, France, hi 1046 and curlier, was the place where Hubert Sinclair and his gtalwurt sons lived in a strong castle. Rye, Sussex co., England, twenty years later, and after the Conquest in 106«, had received its name by the Sinclairs for the old Norman home, and was the abode of a brother ot Hubert's, Hamo Sinclair, who built its castle, and of his famous sun Robert Sinclair, who fortified and strengthened it. Rye, Rockingham co., New Hampshire, U. S., sir centuries later, took its name from the Knglish town. Two and one-fourth centuries later and 843 years after the first union, still the name of Rye and Sinclair were again associated as Hon. Charles A. Sinclair represented Rye, N. H , in the Senate of New Hampshire. The situation of these towns is similar in some respects. Rye, Nor- mandy, France, is near the sounding sea, but the castle has vanished away. Rve, England, was one of the Cinque ports, the nearest sailing point to France While in the quaint old city, on the side of a hill, the old castle the home of the Sinclairs still stonds. Rye, New Hampshire, U. S., is on the sea coast, and the entire length of the town is washed by the briny waves of the Atlantic ocean. " ' #^ ' W!i'L"?'WKi ' ' '' ,L, HE.

He was living in Arundell, Me., Sept. 5, 1744, and smm after removed to Koston, Mass., where on Aug. 19, I74N, ho sold land in Arundell, Mo. He had military experience like most of the Sinclairs, and volunteered as a soldier from Wells, Me., under Capt. John Storer, and was in the expedition which captured Louisburg on June 28th, 174.5. This was the strongest fortress on the conti- nent. The troops sailed from Hoston, Mass., March 24, 174.'i, and forty-nine days were spent in the reduction of the place. Was again a resident of Arundell, when ''for not fre(|uonting the public worship of God on the Lord's day for six months, from Jau. 1, 1749," ho was brought before the court and fined. He lived in Arundell, Me., until about 1770, when he removed fr«mi the town, or died, probably the latter. He married April 19, 1739, Mary Wakefield. From information furnished me the following were his CHILDREN. ino2. 1003. Adoniraro Hinklcr* (1994) ; m. Elizabeth Joy; res. Lisbon, Me. Mary Sinkler*; was published Oct. 4, 1766, to Mark FUk, and m. Noy. 12, 1766. 1994. Adoniram Sinkler* [1992] (John', Robert*). He located in Lisbon, Me., about 1760, and was among the earliest settlers of that town. At that period it was a wilderness, thickly wooded, with no roads, and none of the appurtenances of civilized life. His nearest neighbor lived several miles away. That neighbor was old Master Bibber, and his wife and Mrs. Sinkler often exchanged visits, going back and forth through the forests, finding their way by marked or blazed trees. The nearest gristmill was fifteen miles away, at Bath, Me., and to that mill Mr. Sinkler frequently went caiTying a bushel of corn upon his back to be ground, and bringing it back to his home in the same manner. He took his land in its wild state and made a highly productive and beautiful farm. It was situated iu the north pait of the town, six miles from Lisbon Falls, and is still known as the Sinclair homestead. Mr. Sinkler, his descendants say, was a son of John Sinkler of Wells and Arun- dell, Me. , which appears to be a correct statement. He was not a religious man till a few years before his death, when he was convert- ed and became an earnest and devoted follower of the Master. Thrice each day did prayer ascend to the Heavenly Father. He married Elizabeth Joy, and she and her husband were members of the Baptist church. He died when about 90 years of age.

She was daughter of John and Helen (Stavart) Hill of Langholm, Scotland, of which place her father was a native. She was bom July 5, 1848, in Sel- kirk, Scotland. Langholm, the home of her parents, is a most romantic town of 3,000 people. Its streets are narrow, the murmur- ing Esk flows through it, and high and wooded hills and mountains almost shut it in from the outside world. It is near the English bor- der, in a section of country picturesque and beautiful, and made for- ever famous as the scene of border exploits. Only a short distance away were the Hollows Tower and the place where stood the castle of " Gilnockie " Armstrong, the famous chief of his clan, the Robin Hood of the border, whose fame still flourishes in the Scotian song. In a valuable museum, filled with many relics of bygone centuries, is the long, ungainly sword, " Gilnockie ". In this town and charming locality, where every foot of territory is historic, the first five years of Mrs. Sinclair's life were spent. Then her parents came to America; were for a time in New York City, then in Ontario, Richland co., Ohio, where her mother died Feb. 15, 1861, when her father removed to Dexter, Me.

John Sinclair', the founder of this branch of the Sinclair family, was a Scotchman and came to the American colonies in 1747 with the families of Douglass, McDonald, Shepherd, and others. They were political exiles. They had united their destinies with the house of Stuart, and when the fortunes of that family went down in darkness and in blood on the terrible field of Culloden Moor, April 16, 1746, their native country was no longer a place of safety, and they tted to America, for the victorious King George II. showed no mercy to his adversaries. Mr. Sinclair located near Leesburg, Va., on the Potomac river. He was a planter and led a life of quietness, sobriety, and honesty. The name of his wife is not known. His family was large, and he died upon his estate about the year 1800.

John Sinclair had in the 1812-15 war with Great Britain been an under officer or seaman of Capt. Thomas Shaw, who commanded the privateer Portsmouth, " The Dandy of the Seas." This craft had sailed from Portsmouth, N. H., and had made great havoc on the British merchant ships on the high seas. Mr. Sinclair had been with Captain Shaw throughout all the cruises of the ship, aided in capturing its prizes, and shared in glories of those conflicts and successes. He succeeded Captain Shaw m the command on November, 1814, and on that day put out to sea from Portsmouth harbor. On Nov. 13, when near Cape Sable, he recap- tured the schooner Nanq/ of Newburyport, Mass. On the 28th he captured the British Ocean with timl>er for Glasgow ; they took out provisions and burned her. On same day he captui-ed the brig Laiig- ton from Richebucto, N. S., with timlier for Scotland. He paroUed the crews of the two vessels and gave up the latter one, after obtain- ing £700 steriing as ransom. He had a variety of adventures till Dec. 14, which is the last we hear of him. The author is not informed as to the family to which Capt. John Sinclair belonged. WAR OF 1812-15. 2180.

CLAIR OF CHESTNUT KIDUK, PENN. 861 CHAPTKR XII. HISTORY OP GEN. ARTHUR ST. CLAIR AND HIS DESCENDANTS. 2229. Gen. Arthur St. Clair'* was born hi ThurBO, county of CaithnesH, Scotland, March 23, 17i)H. In tlmt mout nortliorn town of the mainland of Scotland, swept by some of the fiercest and cliillicst of ocean winds, he spent the years of his childhwxl and youth. " His father, being a younger son, possessed neither lands nor title, and died at an early age from tiie effects of a life of idleness and plcjiHure." In his other parent (whose maiden name is believed to h.ivo been Murray) Arthur -St. Clair was more fortunate, as she supplied not only the affection and tender care of a devoted mother, but also the aid and counsel which had been due from the father. He was educated at the university of Kdinburgh, Scotland ; was indentured to the famous physician. Dr. William (or John) Hunter of London, but inheriting the martial spirit of his race, he abandoned medicine. His mother died in the winter of 1856-57, and immedi- ately after he purchased a commission as Ensign in the Royal regiment of Foot, bearing date of May 13, 1757. He was then twenty-one years of age. He came to America with Admiral Edward lioscawen's fleet. He served under Gen. Jeffrey Amherst at the capture of Louisburg, July 26, 1728, and under Gen. James Wolfe at Quebec, Sept. 30, 1758, and under the latter commander iu tlie victorious battle on the Plains of Abraham, Sept. 13, 1759. He was made a lieutenant April 17, 1759, which position he resigned April 16, 1762. After the siege of Quebec he obtained a furlough and repaired to Boston, Mass. He had formed an attachment to Miss Phebe, daugh- ter of Balthazar and Mary (Bowdoin) Bayard. Her mother was a half-sister of Gov. James Bowdoin, and granddaughter of James Bowdoin, a wealthy citizen. •His father was William Sinclair of Thurso, Scotland, son of James of Thurso, son of James Second of Assery. son of John First of Assery, son of Jnnies First of Murkle, son of John Master of Cakhness, son of George Sinclair, Fourth Earl of Caithness See pedigree, No. 89, pp. 43-44, by which his ancestors are traced for more than a thousand years to Rogen- wald. .if ill 852 QRN.

On April 5, 1770, he was appointed surveyor for district of Cuml)er- land, and a member of the (iovernor's council the same year. After 177!> he lived at Plattatown, Penn., for several years. At the opening of the Itevolution he was appointed Colonel in December, 177;"*, in the American army. On Jan. 3, 1776, he became Colonel of the 2d Penu. regiment, and being ordered to Canada, joined (ien. tlohn Sullivan after the disastrous affair ut Three Rivers, and aided in saving the American army from capture. On March i), 177G, he was made Krigadier-geueral, and joined General Washington in Noveml)er, and was appointed to organize the New .Jersey militia, and participated in the battles of Trenton and Princeton; On the lS)th of February, 1777, he was appointed Major-general. He succeeded Gen. Horatio Gates in command at Fort Ticonderoga. This place he subsequently evacuated. As General IJurgoyne bore down upon him with a sujierior force, a part of his force was attacked and defeated at Hubbardston July 7, 1777. His reverses were a serious loss to our cause and deep *Gen. St. Clair was by marriage a nephew of Gov. James Bowdoin of MuBsachusetts, as his wife's mother, Mary (Bowdoin) Bayard, was a half- sister of the Governor. The latter had an only son, Hon. James Bowdoin, the diplomatist, and an only daughter, Elizabeth Bowdoin, who married Sir John Temple, bart, and had two sons and two daughters. Her eldest daughter, Elizabeth Bowdoin Temple, married in 1786, Hon. Lindall Win- throp of Boston, Mass., and had a very numerous family, of whom the late Hon. Kobert C. VVinthrop of Boston was the youngest, and was long the only surviving son. Thus the wife of General St. Clair was an own cousin of Mrs. Sir John Temple, the grandmother of Hon. Kobert C. Winthrop of Boston. The latter, many years ago, found among the papers of Gov. Bow- doin, a letter of General St. Clair, written to the Governor in 1777. It is one of interest, and published in the Proceedings of the Massachusetts Historical Society in 1803. (From a personal letter of Hon. Robert C. Winthrop.) 3?S;syss»-JX-r\iU,ii^,vcv>.^-:.

In 17H!) he was made (Governor of the Xorthwestern Territory and serv-'d till 1802. The liist words of Washington on his departure were: "Beware of a surprise." He uuvde a treaty with the Indians at Fort Hainar iu 17H(», and in 17y() he fixed the seat of justice of the territory at Cincinnati, Ohio, which he named after the Society of the Cincin- nati, of which he was president of the Pennsylvania branch from 17M;itol7«y. He was appointed commander-in-chief of the army that was oper- ating against the Indians on jVIarch 4, 1701, anil moved against the enemy on the Miami and Wabash rivers, sutTering so severely with that aristocratic disease, the gout, that he had to be carrieil on a litter. He was surprised near the Miami villages on November 4th and his force was defeated by the savages under Blue Jacket, Little Turtle, and Simon Girty, the renegade. Washington refused a court of inquiry, and on the 5th of March (ieneral St. Clair resigned his <>onunission, but a committee of Congress exonerated him from all blame for his disaster. President Thomas Jefferson removed him from the governorship Nov. 22, 1802. He retired to a small log house on the sunmiit of Chestnut Ridge, Penn., where the rest of his life was spent in poverty. He endeavored in vain to effect a settlement of his claims against the government. In 1813 the Legislature of Pennsylvania gave him an annuity of $400, and a short time previous to his death he received 82,000 from Congress, in discharge of his claims, and a pension of $60 per month. He published "A Narrative of the Manner in which the Campaign against the Indians in the Year 1791 was Conducted under the Com- mand of Maj.-Gen. St. Clair, with his Observations on the State- ments of the Secretary of War." (Philadelphia, 1812.) He was now an old man. His once valuable properly had largely melted away; " It was forced to a sale, and the old soldier and his family were reduced to want. In a log house on a bleak ridge by the side of the old state road from Bedford to Pittsburg, and almost in sight of the broad acres which once were his, Lewis Cass found him at the age of four score supporting his family by selling supplies M ;!!| I "ill II t -■;• 854 GEN.

One day in August, 1818, when 82 years old, he was discovered lying insensible by the side of a rough and lonely road where he had fallen fron) his wagon while on the way to a neighboring town to procure some flour and other neces- saries. He never rallied from the shock and died Aug. 31, 1818." In personal appearance General St. Clair was tall, dignifled, with chestnut hair, handsome, with blue-grey eyes, and blonde complexion. He was accomplished, and an interesting conversationalist, and pos- sessed honorable principles. During his long life in America he kept up a correspondence with relatives in Scotland. Among his correspondents was Sir John Sinclair of Ulbster castle in Thurso, and in Edinburgh. The home of Sir John at the castle was less than a mile from the early home of General St. Clair. It is related by his descendants that in his poverty stricken old age some wealthy relatives in Scotland graciously invited him to return to his native land and tbey would care for him. He gently decMned the offer, saying, he had made his choice, had fought against his native country, had cast in his lot with America, and must abide the result, and could not return to Scotland. He is buried at Greensburgh, Penn. The inscription on his monument with an inaccurate date* of age is as follows : "The earthly remains of Gen. Arthur St. Clair are deposited beneath this humble monument, which is erected to supply the'place of a nobler one due from his country. " Died Aug. 31, 1818, in the 84th year of his age."

Daniel St. Clair was born 1764; married Rachel Shannon in 1789. She was born Feb. 25, 1771*. He resided at Penn Square, Montgomery CO., Penn., where he died Jan., 1833, aged 68 years, and is buried at Evansburg, Penn. He was a Justice of the peace, a lawyer, and a captain in the war of the American Revolution. Mrs. St. Clair was born near Penn Square, Penn., Feb. 25, 1771 ; died at Penn Square, Penn., Oct. 15, 18:^1. She was daughter of Dr. Robert and Sarah (Dewers) Shannon. Her father was born near Norristown, Mont- gomery CO., Penn. ; resided near Penn Square, and died at White Marsh, Penn., about 1820. Mr. St. Clair was a generous man and liberally aided his less fortunate relatives. He re«ided in June, 1828, in Norristown, Montgomery co., Penn. He was a lieutenant and then a captain in the 2d regiment Penn. Line, commanded by Col. Thomas Craig. He sensed from 1777 to the end of the war. In the fall of 1807 he lost his commission as captain with other valuable papers, which were in a chest or truuk, by sudden freshet of the Ohio river. He was pensioned by the gov- ernment, and on the 17th day of April, 1818, he was allowed twenty dollars per month, the pension certificate being signed by John C. Calhoun, Secretary of War. In his declaration, claiming a pension, dated June, 1828, he signed his name D. S. Clair (not St. Clair). (From original papers as seen by the author in possession of Rachel St. Clair Jacoby.) He and his sister, Mrs. Louif*a (St. Clair) Robb, were administra- tors of his father's (Gen. Arthur St. Clair's) estate. On the 30th of August, 1818, he received of the Treasurer of Pennsylvania three hundred and fifty dollars of pension money due his father at the time of lis death from the state of Pennsylvania, and four hundred dollars more on Nov. 24, 1818, from Richard M. Grain, Treasurer. The following is the notice for the sale of General St. Clair's goods and personal property : "For Sale.

Professor Hildreth ia his Pioneer History (p. 262, which is quoted in Vol. I., pp. 160-161, of the St. Ciair papers) describes her as " a healthy, vigorous girl, full of life and activity, every way calculated for a soldier's daughter ; fond of frolic, and ready to draw !i,r Mi! i ■Ml m "1 ^ 868 LOUISA ST. CLAIH, OF LIGONIER, PENN. [2265 ^■y \\ \ "■• wam.%&caw[A from all and everything around her. She was a fine equestrienne, and would mount the most wild and spirited horse without fear, managing him with ease and gracefulness; dashing through the open woodlands around Campius Maitius at full gallop, leaping over logs or any obstruction that fell in her way. " She was one of the most rapid skaters in the garrison; few, if any, of the young men equalling her in speed and activity, or^ in graceful movements in this enchanting exercise. Her elegant person and neat dress showing to much advantage called forth lOud plaudits from both young and old. The broad sheet of ice on the Muskingum, near the garrison, for a few days in the winter afforded a fine f 3ld for this healthy sport. She was also an expert huntress ; and would have afforded a good figure for Diana in her rambles through the woods had she been aimed with the bow instead of the rifie. Of this instrument she was a perfect mistress ; loading and firing with the accuracy of a backwoodsman, killing a squin-el from the highest tree, or cutting off the head of a partridge with wonderful precision. She was fond of roaming in the woods, and often went out alone into the forest near Marietta, fearless of the savages that occasionally lurked in the vicinity. She was as active on foot as on horseback, and co'ild walk for several miles with the rapidity of a ranger. Her manners were refined ; her person beautiful, with highly cultivated intellectual powers, having been educated with much care in Phila- delphia. Born with a healthy, vigorous frame, she had strengthened both her body and mind by these athletic exercises when a child ; probably first encouraged bj her father, who had spent the larger portion of his life in camps. She was one of those rare spirits so admirably fitted to the times and the manners of the day in which she lived." In her eighteenth year she exhibited a disposition of bravery rarely equaled in the history of brave women, and her reported ride into the camp of the famous Indian chief Brant in 1788, pud among his warriors, was one of the most romantic and daring episodes of the Indian war. Young Brant, son of the famous chief of that name, came down the Tuscarawas and Muskingum trail in 178M with two hundred warriors and camped at Duncan's Falls, nine miles below Zanesville, Ohio, and by a runner informed (General St. Clair that they desired the treaty preliminaries to be negotiated at that place. The General suspected this to be a plot to make him a prisoner, and so sent word back to Brant that he would soon reply to him by a ranger. Hamil- ton Kerr was dispatched to reconnoiter and to deliver St. Clair's letter. A short distance above Waterford Kerr discerned tracks, and creeping cautiously to a bluff, he heard the merry laugh of a woman. With speechless amazement be saw Louisa St. Clair dressed in Indian style, with a short rifle slung +o her body, and mounted upon a pony. She assured him of hei fix^d purpose to visit Brant at Duncan's Falls. Expostulations failed \( change her purpose. That night dhe ate her supper of dried deer's meat, and slept seated PBNN.

His boyhood and youth were spent upon his father's farm. At the age of 1 7 years he entered the employ of an elder brother, who was a hardware merchant in Poitsmouth, N. H. He was in his employ for four years, when he purchased an interest in the business, and soon after became the sole proprietor, which he successfully managed till 1861, when he sold it to a younger brother. For many years he individually, or in company with others, was engaged in business enterprises of magnitude. But larger activities were opening up l)efore him, wider fields of a public nature, which demanded the exercise of his great l)usiness capacity. In the political affairs of his adopted city and of his native state he took a deep and abiding interest. lie was chosen nmyor of Poitsmouth in 1868, and was re-elected in 1860. His administra- tion was marked by many progressive improvements. His salary for the first year he gave to the city to hold in trust, the interest annually to be devoted to the purchase of books for the High school library. He placed in the hands of trustees his second year's salary, on the condition that five thousand dollars more could be raised in five yeara, when he would add another thousand dollars for the pur- pose of establishing a public library to be presented to the ci|y of Portsmouth. In 1875 Mr. Jones received the Democratic nomination for Con- gress and was elected, although the Republicans had carried the district at the previous election. In 1877 he was renominated for Congress. The Republicans made n determined effort to carry the district, and selected as their candidate the gallant Gen. Oilman Marston, who had won fame in his three terms in Congress and mili- tary renown in the war. The contest was shai*ply contested by each side, but the popularity of Mr. Jones was so great that his opponents were unable to accomplish his defeat, and he was elected over the formidable candidate who had been pitted against him. In Congress lie was one of the most efficient committeemen in the House. Mr. Randall said of him: "He was a faithful Representative, an honor to himself and the country, bringing to the discharge of his duties a business knowledge that made him very valuable as a committee ■ s, ^. 400 HON.
