Y. > ,il tmm IS- f i I'KEFACE. ,|..| Auoi T livo y<'Hrs liavo now olapsod since! vvd (ivHt coTiceived the project of tj'tu'ing the genealogy of the Jarvis Family in this country. Letters were writtt^n to prominent men of the name in different parts of the United States and Mritisii America, from many of wiiom favorable responses were received. Stn'eral in Ciiniida, Nova Scotia, and Ncnv IJruiiswick wen! highly intere.sted, olfering their valuable collections to aid tin; ent«'rprise. Many, also, in the United States were equally interested, and oflFered their collections .irid any aid within their power. Tlie addresses of different ni<>mbers of families w(M'e sought out and solicited, and hundreds of letter; written for any records, sk(>tclu!s, steel and lithograph engravings, or any items of history connected with the name, worthy of being transmitted to posterity. Many responded promptly; some, ))y indifference, delayed the work; while others neglected altogether to notice our applications. From these causes then! will be found some* fragmentary and skeleton records, which nuLst cause n'gret to those whust; remissness has made it impossible for tlie C'ompilers to give more perfect accoiuit of their families. We have adopted a tabular form of exhibiting the records, believing that it will l)e more (>asily understood than the plan usually followed in works of the kind. We have, also, aimed to present, not only the dates of births, but also, wlum they could be procured, the marriages and deaths, something which is often neglected in gtniealogies. Many of our friends who have favored us with sketches, have granted us the privilege of revising them. We have assumed this prerogatives in regard to all, but hav(> endeavored not to change the nu>aning, or leav<> out any import- ant item. For this act we ask the indulgence of our friends. In a work like this, receiving records from various sources, many of them written in an obscure hand, th(> chirography not [)lain, and sometimes almost illegible, and figures and dates being very numerous, it would not be strange if, with all our vigilance, 1? .

In tlie Appcndi.x will Ik- found many intndants of each branch for the oi'igin of their forefathers, and leave it to some more successful aspirant to (inish what we have been unable to accomplish. Our book commences with a chart entitled the "Genealogy of Gothic Nations," taken from a work called "The Norman Peo- ple ; " not that we claim that the Jarvis Family dates back to the period from which this (ihart traces the origin of tlies(> luitions, but insert it as a document which may be of interest and informa- tion to onr readers. At the end of our volume will be found a Family Register for the records of births, nuirriages, deaths, or any facts or incidents that may be worthy of note. This, if made wav. of, will bo a convenience to every family, and a great desideratum in case another genealogy should be determined on hereafter. In collecting the materials for this genealogy 'rom so wide a field of inquiry, much labor and expense has been incurred, and, as we have already said, some errors will undoubtedly be found, for which the indulgent (tonsi deration of those for whom it has been prepared is respectfully solicited. In conclusion, the hearty thanks of the Authors are most grate- fully given to the many friends and relatives who have tendered their valuable contributions and services in aid of this enterprise, without which its progress would have been greatly retarded, if not wholly abandoned.

Until witliiii II bi'ief poiiod, the people of this country have manifested but little interest in their genealogies. This has, in a great nieasui'e, resulted from tlu^ character of our institutions, under which every citizen is mainly the architect of his own for- tune, and is too much occupied with his own pursuits to devote much time to the character and history of his ancestors. Having no law of primogeniture or hereditary titles of honor, the children in this country, of the same family, all start iii the race of life upon the same plane, and are severally intent upon the acquisition of wealth and influence, social and political, for themselves and their families. Of late, however, more attention has been paid to this subject, and as the country increases in population, wealth, and refinement, a still deeper interest will be manifested in genealogical reseai'ches, as there are few families amoHg us who do not number within their circles some members, who, by their unaided efforts, have attained honorable distinction in private or public life. Such examples have a silent but potent influence in the forma- tion of character. Even the delineation of th'^ foibles, as well as of the virtues of our immediate ancestors, may be turned to good account, by exciting an emulation of their good qualities and a desire to avoid the dangers which proved disastrous to them. Besides the gratification wiiich every intelligent man has in a knowledge of his ancestry, this subject assumes a growing import- ance to those who are to come after us, as furnishing reliable materials for the future historian. Though our country is still in its infancy, the descendants of tlie founders of our government, who were mainly of English origin, 1 INTKOnUCTION. I li and who have but just passed from the first stage of their iioble achievements, find it extremely difficult, in many cases, to trace with certainty their doscent from those; who first emigrated from Great liritain to the Colonies. Those difficulties are due, in a great measure, to the upheaval of society, to llie disruption of families, whose members took different sides in the fierce struggles of the Revolution, and to the destruction of public records which occurred during that eventful period. Within the last half century, the general spirit of enterprise of the people of the Eastern and Middle States, and their disjjosition to better their condition by emigi'ating to the great West, have had the effect, for the time being, to sunder family ties, and, by forming new relationships, to weaken and, in a measure, obliterate their early associations of home. These causes, while they increase the difficulties of obtaining proper materials necessary for the conipilatiou of full and correct genealogies, make it more important to collect and preserve such as remain from further obliteration, and, perhaps, entire loss. These general remarks apply with peculiar force to the widely extended and influential Jarvis families and their descendants, who are found in almost every State of the Union, and, by the unfortunate division of the family during the Revolution, in the British Provinces of North America. In every branch of these families are found men of talent and exalted worth. That a full and comprehensive genealogy has not already been prepared is much to be regretted, and it is hoped the present attempt, if it have no other effect, will induce others to carry for- ward this object to a successful completion. It is generally conceded that the Jarvis families of the United States and of British America are of English extraction, though originally from Normandy, whence they emigrated into England. The name of Jakvis, according to the " Dictionaire de la Noblesse de France," par De la Cherraye, Desbois et Badier, Troisieme Edition, is French, the original name being GERVAIS. Their seat was at Bretagne, and the first name found is Jean Gervais, who lived about the year 1400. In a work entitled "The Norman People, and their existing Descendants in the British Dominions and the United States of America," appears the name Richard Gervasius of Normandy, who lived as early as the year 1180. The arms of the Gervais family of Bretagne was a shield "D' or, a une pomme de pin, placee au canton dextre du chef; et un chouette ^ H m ? ■ ^3^ and w! 1 ' hoir tiobl" ^ trace nil VMV9 I I ■he destrncfcioii ; duiiug Uittl <;vuutful pQriod.

Wo have had an engraving made of this old coat of arms, the most ancient we have found to have been used by the Jarvis family, and present it tt) our renders as of interest on that account. We have, also, had an engraving made of one of the coats of arms used by the Jai'vises in this country, and publish it as the frontis- piece to this work. The motto, "Adveksih Major, Par Secunpis" (Strong in I'rosperity, Stronger in Adversity), has been nobly liv(!d up to by many of those whose records are contained in the follov/ing pages. The clianges of the name from Gekvasius to Gervais, Jervis, Jarvio, and so on to Jarvis, have by no means clouded or in any way obscured the original patronymic. The name is strikingly the same through all its variations, as well as the features and the peculiar characteristics of the people. Through the long lapse of years, indeed centuries, amid confusion and strife, political wran- gling, oppressive wars, and unholy crusades, their escutcheon has never been tarnished. By the kindness of a member of the family who has taken an active interest in this woi'k, we are enabled to publish the follow- ing summary of Parliamentary Writs, and some extracts from '• Burke's Ijanded Gentry," in which the name of Jarvis, in some of its various spellings, occurs. This will serve to show the hon- orable records that some of the Jarvises have made, and, also, the antiquity of the family in England, since most of these writs are dated in the early part of the 14th century.

And here wc may be permitted to speak briefly of some of those wlio, in the various walks of life, have made the name illustrious. Eakl St. Vincknt, Sir John Jervis, the renowned British admiral, was a noble type of the hero and English sailor. In judgment pro- found, with a stem will and inflexible integrity, he was the favorite of his government. His battles were models of naval tactics, and when won were complete. His good name, fame, and unspotted character gave him a place in Westminster Abbey. The following anecdote in regard to the United States and Commodore Bainbridge is quite interesting. It is from "Allison's History of Europe." "A New York gentleman being in London at the time when the INTKOItlK'TlON. 7 news of till! rupluri! i)f the Jiiva arriv«'(l, liappcnod on tlm next day to be ill company with Admiral iIorviH.

I ,! i I ! :li meiits of the Jarvia family in this country, was first settled by Englishmen in 1053 — 226 years ago. The pioneers, who formed the settlement, consisted originally of eleven families, who either may have found their way thither from Massachusetts through the Connecticut Valley, or may have come directly from the Connecticut Colony, which was founded in Hartford in 1639. Some of these settlers made purchases of land of the Indians, and the following is an account of two of these transactions, showing the unique currency which they used in bartering with them, and which, in those primitive times, was found to be the most serviceable in dealing with the " untutored " wild man. The first purchase of land within the territory of Huntington was made of the Matinnecock tribe of Indians, in 1653, compris- ing nearly six miles sauare. " The consideration paid to the Indians was six coats, six bottles, six hatchets, six shovels, ten knives, six fathoms of wampum, thirty muxes (brad awls), and thirty needles." The first purchase of East Hampton embraced 30,720 acres, and the articles giv^n in payment consisted of "twenty coats, twenty-four looking-glasses, twenty-four hoes, twenty-four hatch- ets, twenty-four knives, and one hundred muxes," These and other purchases were made of the Indians and held by trustees for the public benefit, and were afterward, from time to time, granted, for a valuable consideration, by the authorities of the town to individual purchasers. The "Old Purchase" of "six miles square " is often mentioned in the real estate transactions of Huntington, and the most prominent and enterprising citizens are on record as grantees of portions of it, among whom the names of Stephen Jarvis, and his son Stephen, William Jarvis, Thomas Jarvis, Jonathan Jarvis, and others, frequent! v occur. (See Ap- pendix D.) The following extract from an Historical Address delivered at the Centennial Celebration at Huntington, by Hon. Henry C. Piatt, is inserted here, as it gi.ves, in a few words, a graphic de- scription of the pioneers of the town, "The first settlers of Huntington were a body of men equally distinguished for the soundness of their morals and the purity of their lives. They w^re characterized by peculiar sternness of principle, and singular exactness in the discharge of every duty. They regarded every species of vice with a kind of instinctive X INTRODUCTION. II abhorrence. Prodigality and licentiousness they branded with infamy, and often punished with severity." The spirit with which the people of Huntington entered the great conflict for American liberty, is shown by a series of reso- lutions passed at a general town meeting, held June 21, 1774. These resolutions breathe the spirit of independence, and do' honor to the intelligence and patriotism of the people of Huntington, and rank that ancient town among the first assertors of American liberty. (See Appendix N.) We now proceed to give, in tabular form, the records of Stephen Jarvis and his sons, and, after these, the records of the descend- ants of William, Thomas, and Jonathan, who, we liave seen, were among the earliest settlers of the name in Huntington. Following these, are inserted the records of the descendants of Nathaniel and Moses Jarvis, both of whom were Huntington men, but whose connection with the other fainilies of that town we have not been able to ascertain. Then we take up the Massachusetts branch of the family, giving the records of the descendants of Nathaniel and John Jarvis. At the close of the Genealogy, will be found a few fragmentary records which wo have not been al)le to connect with any of the other families. Il I' I .^ I y GENEALOGY.

B^rom Stamford he passed to Yale College, where he was graduated in 1761. TTTj^l April. A committee of four, appointed under an Act of General Assembly, and the Seh.tn.en of Norwalk, found twenty-four men inimical to the country; amon- them, Thomas llauford, Nathan Jarvis, ^^U./'—IIairx Ifixfori/ of Norwalk. _ » Ann. b.nierld, Mr. Jarvis acted as Secretary; and to him was entrusted the charge of preparing the 'various documents which the occasion required. Many of those still remain to attest the ability of their writer; and they, with others of a like character, confirm the testimony of the venerable pres- byter who lived to be the last link tliat connected the clergy of Connecticut with its first Bislioj) — the Rev. Dr. Hurh.ans — that "he had an uncrmmon tact at pulilic business, and in a talent at drafting petitions, memorials, etc., had few, it' any, superiors." With Mr. Jarvis, also, Bishop Seabury put himself in communica- tion as soon as he had reached this counti'v in 1785; and the admirable addn'ss with which the clergy of the diocese welcouKnl their Bishop at Middlctown, in August of that year, was mainly, if not entirely, the work of their secretary. In 1787 it seemed so doubtful to the clergy of Connecticut whether a separation between the Clnurh in New England and in the other States could be averted, that steps were taken to secure for New England a "canonical number of Bishops of the Scottish line " At a Convention held in WalUngford on the 27th of Feb- 22 nKSCENDANTR OF WILLIAM THIRD fiKNKRATION. ruary in that yoar, Mr. , I arvis wa.s appointed to procoecl to Scotliind for consecration. Ilap[>ily, the necessity was averted, and the proposed measure never passed beyond its incipient stajro. In 1796 Bishop Seabury died, and at the Convention of the Diocese in May, Mr. Jarvis was elected his successor. This elec- tion he declined. When, liowever, at the adjourned .Annual Convention in 17J>7, the election was renewed, with a unanimous vote of both clergy and laity, it was accepted, and Dr. Jarvis (the Doctorate having been conferred on him by Yale College, at the previous Commencement) was consecrated in Trinity Church, New Haven, October 18, 17!»7, by Bi.^liop White, assisted ])y Bishops Provost and Bass. A special convention ha,d been summoned foi the occasion, at which, immeiliately after the act of consecration was completed, the new Bishop received and replied to an address of recognition, and afterwards delivered his first charge. The Bishop remained in Middletown till the autumn of 1 71)0, when he removed to (,'heshire (where he had already placed his son in the academy), and built himself a hou -e. Here the shadow of death fell upon his home in the loss of his excellent and amial)lo wife, who died November 4, 1801. So that when his son was ready to begin his collegiate course in 1803, he removed to New Hav( n, where his home continued to be for the remainder of liis life. "On the 4th of July, 1800, he was married in Trinity Chuix'h, New York, to Mi's. Lucy Lewis, widow of Nathaniel Lewis of Bhiladelphia, a lady of great excellence, who contributed much to the comfort of his declining years." Bishop Jarvis's Episcopate covered a period of a little less than sixt(^en years, and extende public cemetery, then lecently opened; but upon the erection of the present Trinity Church in that city, his remains were disinteri'ed. and deposited beneath the chancel of this edifice which he had hoped t(» see erected.

In (^very relation of life, he was the sincere and devoted (Christian gentle- man. He liad a fine and discriminating mind and an excellent memory; a man of much reading, he was a ready reasoner, a pleasant and cheerful companion. He lived to a patriarchal age, seeing the children of the third, and even the fourth, generation. One of his great-grandchildren thus describes her first visit to him. She was in her fourteenth year, and she expected to see the old gentleman feeble and decrepit, sitting in the corner in a comfortable easy chair, when, on passing into the house, she saw. instead, an elderly man descending a ladder from a peach tre(} in the front yard, with basket in hand, coming to greet her, which he did with the greatest coriliality. Her next visit to him was when she was a mother, taking her own child with her. This was his great-great-grandson, and she 1 Hezekiah Jarvis bought from John Betts, Samuel Gibbs, and Wm.

She is petHe in stature, gracefully formed, with an expressive and beauti- ful face, and is, in short, a sort of diamond edition of a volume containing all the virtues of the better class of her sex. Unfortu- nately, she has been blind for the last nine or ten years, but not- withstanding all that, she has never been idle. Busily employed with her needle, she has, during those years of optical eclipse, pieced, fashioned, and finished over 150 bedquilts for the poor and needy, and still, at this advanced age, her hands are constantly employed in well doing. She is pleasant, cheeerful, and interesting m con- versation, and her heart ever turns to the sunny side of human nature, and she is never so happy as when she feels that she has done something to alleviate human suffering.

Both fatlipr and Hon were horn under the Hritisli flag, iind retained thcdr love and allogif-nce for the mother country while they lived. The son held the position of ('onnnissary-General in the British army during tlie Revolution, and was, for a long period, stationed on OoverrK r's Island, in the Bay of New York. In stat- ure he was largt! and portlv, his manners courteous, and his nature kindly and genial. He was a fine scholar, his language fluent and easy, and his compositions in proseand verse interesting. His pen- manship was the round old English hand, and almost equal to cop- per-plate engi'aviiig. In the year 1777, when the Royalists were sorely pressed by the Insurgents, being insulted daily, and reviled by both neighbors and friends, Mr. Jarvis resorted to verse to calm his disturbed heart and feelings. An original hymn of his composition, which has been set to music by his grandson. Dr. William Jarvis Wet- more, will be found on the following page. After the Revolution, he was sent to Nova Scotia, where he remained three years, and was then, by an edict from the first President, returned to the United Cl^ates, and to his home in Nor- walk, Conn., where he died. He was twice married, his second wife being Klizabeth Boulte. She wiis a shrewd woman, full of energy and mother wit, as the following anecdote will show. Mr. Jarvis was granted a short fur- lough to visit his wife at Norwalk, and he liad carefully and cau- tiously made his way from his boat to the door of his dwelling, when he was seen by some straggling soldiers, and made prisoner. He was so near his house, he begged to be permitted to see his wife, and get a changes of linen before being taken into the Amer- ican lines. It was granted, and the wife, apparently overcome with grief, requested them to let her see him privately for a few mo- ments before his departure. Tluiy entered a room, and she no sooner closed the door, than she fell to berating him with all sorts of abuse for his allegiance to the King, which was music to the ears of his captors. After a time, and feeling that the husband had been lashed long enough by the wife, they rapped at the door, asking for their prisoner. They only found a quiet woman and an open window, through which the bird had flown, and. by that time, was well out of harm's way.

He was a grave, solemn-looking man, but with an iron will and constitution. He looked like an old Roman in his stern dignity. Th(! hours flew by as the olil soldiers told over their battles and hairbreadth escapes, when Coe suddenly asked Jarvis if he had ever been engaged with the Indians — if he had ever seen tluun in war-paint and feathers, or had ever heard the terrible- war whoo[) on the (l(^ld of battle. Jarvis, knowing of the cruelty of the Indian, and having been an eye-witness of his barbarism, endeav- ored to avoid talking of the red devils, as he called them, until C'oe, feelmg somewhat annoyed at his silence, rallied him by tell- ing him " he didn't believe he had overseen a,n Indian." Jarvis seemed to take it good-naturedly, when, after a time, he rose iiiiobservedly, and walking quietly around behind Coe, sounded, 5 I f •31 PESCEXD.WTS ()!<' W'l.MAM FOl'UTII OKNKKATIOX. with iill his force, the terrible war-whoop in his ear, when Coe sprang from his cliair, and, but for Jarvis catcliing him in his arms, would have fainted and fallen to the floor. Coe soon recov- ered, gave Jarvis his hand, and said: "Ah, Jarvis, you /mve been among the Indians!" Lieut. Jarvis subsequently went to the South, and on the visit of La Fayette to this country, was leader of a military band. He composed a Quick Step in honor of the general, and it was exten- sively and universally popular throughout the Southern St:;tes. He wa.-i a splendid figure of a man, tall, largi, and portly, wiih a militarv bearing and manner; one of the most genial of men, and prince of good fellows. No. Name. Born. Diftl- Married or Rcmnrks.

He was arrested and thrown into jail in Foughkeepsie, Dutchess County, where he suffered all sorts of indignities and privations.

His father, Stei^hen Jarvis, was a faiTaer whose fam- ily was among the first in town. Young .'^tejjhen, in his early youth, was ambitious to obtain a classical education, but was opposed in this by his father, who limited him to tlu; rudinumts of an English education, acquired in a common school. At twelve years of age, he was taken from school and put to work on the farm. He continued thus employed until the Revolution. His fatlier and family were loyalists, and subject to great annoyance from the patriots. About this time, young Stephen became much attached to a young lady whose name was Glover, and whom he afterwards married. This engagement was violently opposed by his father, and led to an open rupture between the father and son. Immedi- ately after the battle of Bunker Hill, 1775, a draft of militia was 1 d .s i- as DKWCKNDANTS OF WILLIAM FOVHTTl OKXKHATIOX. 37 made to garrison New York. Young Jarvis was drafted, and though a true h)yalist, he determined to join the company to avoid the harsh treatment of liis father. The resolve caused liis father to relent somewhat, and he tried in vain to induce his son to allow a substitute, but finding him indexible, he gave hini some money and a hoi-se upon his leaving for New York. The company was detained in New York but a short time, and Stephen returned home, when a partial reconciliation ^wk place between him and his father involving a breaking oIT his engagement with Miss Olover. The condition was soon violated, and the attachment between hira and the object of his affections was only strengthened by parental oppression. Soon after the capture of New York, another draft was made, and young Jai'vis, though drafted, refused to join the company, and to avoid the ill treatment of his fatluu-, iind tlie persecutions which resulted from his loyalty, he made his esca{)e from Dan bury, and fled across the Sound in a canoe, to Long Island, and went on board a British sloop lying at Huntington. Before heaving home on this occasion, he had signalized his loyalty in company with another tory, by conveying a band of tr(K)ps under command of Gov. Tryon, to destroy a large quantity of the supplies in Danbury, valued at $80,000.' He soon found his way to New York, and joined the British army as a Sergeant, with the promise of a com- mission. In this subordinate position he distinguished himself, and took an active part in many skirmishes, perilous e.Ki'ursions and battles in and around New York, New Ji>rsey, and Pennsylva- nia. He was and)itiou8 to deserve by his gallant conduct, the prom- ised commission, which was delayed, for a long time, to his great vexation. His company was quartered at Richmond, S. I., during the winter of 1780. and he was one of the expedition fitted out to capture CJeneral Washington at his head(|uarters on the Hudson. Failing in this, the party returned to Bull's Head, and thence to Stateu Island. Soon afterwards the regiment embarked for Charleston, S. C, and, after the surnmiliM- of Charleston, in May, 1780, the regiment returmnl to New York, and again took up quar- ters at Richmond, Staten Island. Soon afterwards, an expedition was fitted ou*^ for Virginia, under the command of General Leslie, and Jarvis was detailed as Quarter- master in a troop of the 1 7th Light Dragoons, Th(>y put in at Nor- 1 See Sketch 355. 38 DESCENDANTS OF Wll.I.lAAI FdlHTII OKNKRATKiN. folk, but soon sailed to Charleston. While at Charleston, he was made a Lieutenant of a company of Dragoons, und(M- the cojnmand of Colonel Campbell. During this campaign, ho was in many perilous adventures and battles, and always deported himself with signal gallantry and bravery. Towards the (uul of 1782, t\w r(>gi- ment was ordered to St. Augustine, Florida, to gaiTison that place, and remained there till peace was declared in 178;^. In April, of that year, he obtained leave of absence to visit New York, where he anived in May. Obtaining permission from Lord Howe, he went to Danbury, where he arrived on 20th May, and was heartily received by his friends and I'elatives. His father now became rec- onciled to his marriage with the lady of his clioice, and arrange- ments were soon made for the wedding, but the prejudice against him as a loyalist ran so high that he was again subjected to great annoyance, and threatened with personal violence, in ct)nsequence of which, his marriage was cele])rated in private, in the presence of a few friends. He was compelled to leave for New York, where his wife shortly after joined him. His pre-eminence sis a loyalist ren- dered his stay in New York uncomfortable, and he soon resolved to join his regiment. His father came to N(nv York and returned home with his wife, and he soon set sail for St. Augustine, wh((re his stay was short, for the British troops, under the treaty of peace, soon evacuated that place, and in October. 1783, sailecl foi- Halifax. His regiment was soon disbanded, and he returned to New Y'ork, where he arrived on the day the Britisli army left that city. Tjicu- tenant Jarvis made up his mind to return to Halifax to reside, and immediately applied to General Washington for a permit to go into the coimtry to visit his friends. General Washington received him kindly, but could not give him the permit, as he had n^signed his commission; he however gave the young officer directions how to accomplish his object. After a few days delay in New Yoi'k, ht; supplied himself with a stock of tea and sugar for the winter, and left for Reading, Conn., where he met his wife in the family of his brother, and with her proceeded to Danbury, whei*e they spent the winter in quiet. Early in the spring of 1 7 84, he was again sub- jected to personal annoyance, and threatened with violence. He remained in Danhuiy, however, till liis wife recoverc^l from her confnifment. Leaving his wife and infant daughter with his father, he sailed for St. John, and thence to Fredericton, when^ he pur- chased some land, and made arrangements for building a house for his future residence in the coming spring. He soon returned I DKSCENDANT8 OP WILLIAM FOURTH GKNERATION. 39 1 to St. John, and spent some time with his uncle (Munson Jarvis), who was engajyed in business as a hardware merchant. He not long afterwards .«^ailed for Connecticut in a vessel belonging to his uncle, and liuuling at Stamfoi'd, immediately hired ahorse, and the same day set olf to join his wife; and child, whom he found at Newtown. iVfter a short visit with his relatives and friends at Danbury, he went with his family to Reading and took up his win- ter quarters witli his brother. Early in the spring of 178."), he loft Reading, and on 1.5th June, with liis family, landed at Fredericton with only one-half guinea in liis pui-se, and one year's half pay to draw for his current expenses. At St. John, he purchased a sir.all stock of goods from his uncle, which lu; took to Fi-edericton. His house was not yet built, and himself, wife, and child suffered great privations till October, when he got into his new house. He resided in this place from 178") to 1800, and during this long residence he held successively the com- mission of Captain, Major of Brigade, Deputy Adjutant-Genei-al, and Lieutenant Colonel, besides the office of Post-master. He was prosperous in his business, and acquired considerable real estate, Init met with some heavy losses. In 1807 an engagement took place betw(H'n a British vessel and theXInit(Hl States ship "Chesapeake." which threatened a rupture between the two governments. Colo- nel Jarvis immediately tendered his services in case of necessity, which were thankfully received and accepted, but when the militia was (tailed out, another officer was placed in com nand. This slight so exasp(>rated (\jl()nel Jarvis, that he determined to leave the Province and move to [ -pper Canada. For this purpose he visited that Province, and decided to .settle at York. He at once returned to New Brunswick, and commenced arranging his business prepar- atory to removal. His friends at first were opposed to this step, but, finally, consinitiul, and, leaving Fredericton on .TOth June, 1809. after a long and weary journey, stopping at Quebec and Montreal, arrived at York on the 28th August. On his way, he left his youngest daughter at Quebec, where she married Major Maule, of the 104th regiment. At Montreal he purchased supplies for house- keeping. A t York he engaged in a public office at £ 1 00 per annum, utitil he could got a location of 1,200 acres of Government lands for himself, and four hundred acres for his oldest son. The pur- chase of his house and furniture, and fees for locating his lands exhausted all his ready money, and his half pay and small salary of £100 were all the means of support until the war of 1812, when 40 DK8CENDANT8 OF WII-UAM FOUHTIl OKNKIUTION. the AiiuM'icans invaded Canada. During the war he supported his family upon these sources of income, and some commissioi's which he rec(nved for the management of estates of non-residents. He was again appointed Adjutant-General of the militia, and served until York was captured by the United States troops and he V. as tak(Mi prisoner. After the capture of York, he retired from his military duty, and engaged in business as a commission broker, and was successful in his new avocaticm. Having acquired a capital of iiaOO, he purchased goods in Montreal and commenced business in Toronto as a merchant; but the peace of 1815 found him in possession of a large stock, upon which the depreciation was so great that he was bligc^d to sell all his real estate to pay off his debts, and he wa.s again reduced to his half-pay for the support of his family.- Upon the I'etirement of Governor Gore, Colonel Smith succeeded him as Administrator of the Government, who gave his old friend, Colonel Jarvis, the Registry Office of the Home District, with C150 per annum; which, with the salary of his youngest son (£150) made his annual incimie £300, and enabled him to ])rovide a (comfortable house and lot, and he and his son lived together till 181!5, when, at the age of 69, his health failed him, and it became necessary that he should change his mode of life. He thei'efore offered to resign his office in favor of his son. This was objected to, but with the consent of the govern- ment, his son (effected an exchange of offices with the High Sheriff, to whom Colonel Jarvis resigned his office as Registrar, and his son, William Botsford Jarvis, became High Sheriff. At the advanced age of 70, Colonel Jarvis retired from active life, and, in the enjoynuMit of good health, lived among his children till his death at Toronto in 1840, aged 84 years. Colonel Jarvis was possessed of a noble nature, genial disposi- tion, and elegant manners. True to his convictions, he was firm and decided in his intercourse among men. As a soldier he was generous and brave, and in all the thi'illing incidents of his long and eventful life, h(> never stooped to evasive or dishonoi'able con- duct. Thougli sometimes impulsive, his religious convictions were firmly settled, and exerted a controlling influence over all his actions.— [See Sketch 90.] TO. No. Name. Born. Died. Married or RemarlvS.

Dr. Ssimuel Parmer Jarvis, was written for his work '>y tiic Ut. itov. .Tolni Williams, D.I)., IJishopof (/'onncclicut, who was the pn])il in lhook"/v of Dr. Jarvis, afterwards iiis assistant in the church at Midd'etown, anil his most intimate, loved, and trusted friend.] Samuel Farmar Jarvis was horn at Middlctown, Connecticut, Jan. 20, 1786. He was the second and only surviving son — the youngest child — of the Rt. Rev. AVjraharn Jsirvis, the second Bishop of Connecticut. At .he time of his birth his father was rector of Christ Church, Miildlctowr a position which he held from 1764 to 179<). The early studies of Mr. Jarvis wen^ under his fatlujc's roof and instruction. But in 1798 he was put under tlu; care of that distin- guished scholar and instructor, Dr. John Bowden, at Cheshire Acad- emy. He entered Yale College in 1802, becoming a member of the sophomore class, and was graduated with honors in 1805. The late Professor nilliman says of him: "I was alisent in Kng- land during most of the year (hat he graduat(!d, but I have a dis- tinct recollection of him as .\ superior scholar, especial!}' in classical literature." And a classmate, Dr. J. M. Whiton, bears similar testi- mony. " In all tin departments of learning he was highly respect- able, but excelled most in belles-lettres. Tn strength of intellect he was p<)8sibly cx-'eeded by sonu; in the c'''ss; in deliciacyof taste, in incessant diligence, and patience, of investigation, i»y none." Most truly and entirely was " the boy the father of the man." He was oi'dained to 'he diaconate l)y his father, in Trinity Church, New Haven, Mtv'ch «, 1810, and advanced to the priest- hood in the same chu.ch, April f), 181 1. His earliest pai'ochial charge was St. Michael's, Bloomingdale, in tlu; diocese of New York; this chai'ge was assumed by iiin in the same year in which he was ordained to the priesthood, s^nd he held if in conjunction with the rectorshii) of St. James's Church — which ho took in 1813 till May 1810. He resigned this double cure in ordtM- to accept a professorship in theCeneral TlHM)logical Seminary, then established in the city of New V'ork. Of his occupancy (.1 this professorship one has well said, " This jvost he occupied but a short time, but those who sat under his instructions at that day, still bear lively witness to his ripe scholarship, his entire devotion to the duties of his profession, ^ ' • warm sympathies with his ptipils. the dignity nn»l gracefulius. of manners which marked his intercourse with I A't-i' * 46 DESCENDANTS OF WILLIAM FOURTH GENERATION. !|ii{ all, and which, we may add, he never laid aside, but carried with him to the close of his life." In 1820 he was called to be the first rector of St. Paul's Church, Boston, and here he remained till 1826. Up to the time of his going to Boston, the most important of his pvi})li('ations were, a sermon on the unity of the church, 1816; a letter to the chiefs of the Onondaga Indians, 1817; and a di'^course on the religion of the Indian tril)es of North America, 1819. During his residence in Boston, he was one of the editors of the Gospel Advocate, established in 1821. Among liis many valuable contributions to this periodi- cal, liis review of Mi". Wel)ster's oration at I'lymouth deserves especial notice. It was one of the earliest attempts to confront tlie ruritan romance with the facts of i -.ory. He also published, in 1822, a sermon on regeneration, which is worthy to rank with Waterland's Treatise on that subject. In 1826 he resigned his rectorship, and went, witli his fimily, to Europe, where he remaincMl nine years, till 1835. It was during these years that he collected that noble library which so markedly exhibited his exter.sive learning, and thorough knowledge of books, 'i'lie writer of this sketch well remembers the eager delight with which the late (chancellor Kent, (m one occasion, lookel over its stores, and the pleasure he oxiiressed on taking into his hands the copy of the Theodosian (?ode, used by (iibbou in writing his great history. Dr. Jarvis — f(jr that title had been deservedly ct)nl'erred on him bv the University of Pennsylvania in 1819 — gave most of his time in Europe to' study "with a view of qualifying himself more per- fectly for works which he had projected for the beiu'dt of the C^hurch." This did noc, however, withdraw him from ministerial duty when the opportunity for it came. He officiated in public services an- 1 pastoral work in dilTenmt [)laces. And from one congregation, esiK>cially, he receivcni as a testimony to his faithful care, a beauti- fully wrought paten and chalice, which are now in the possession of his son. Six years of his stay abroad were sjjent in Italy; and from his habits of careful and systematic observation, and the opportunities of acquaintance and intercourse with scholars and ecclesiastics, they led to a thoiougli and intelligent comprehension of the social and religious condition of the continent of Europe. No man of his own time was, few men of any time have been, better informed than DESCENDANTS OF WlLl.IAM — FOUKTH GENERATION. 47 he was in all matters relating to the practical working of the Eiomon Church. Returning to his native country in 1 835, he at once assunried the position of professor of Oriental Ijiterature in Trinity College; padd- ing to tlie duties of his professorship the care of two or three stu- dents in theology. A sermon on Christian Unity, preached before the Board of Missions in 183('), and an address to tlie citizens of Hartford on Birthday of Linnieus, in the same year, were liis prin- cipal pul)lications during his tenure of office in 'I'rinity t'oUege. He was, however, especially in the r(«earchos connected with the elaborate and valuable notes Vi the sermon abovc^ numtioned, con- tinuing his careful and thorough preparation for his pi'oposcd his- torical work. In 1837, he resigned his professorshij/, and beiiaine rector of Christ Church in his nativ(j town, and in tlie same year received from Trinity College the degree of LTi.!). In 1838, iie was appointed by the GeniMjd ( 'onvention, liistther the conclusions of this work are or are not accepted, no one can fail to rtn-ognisce the amount of laborious research and the extenr review, besides sermons printed in this country and in l^higland, . he published Discoui'ses on Prophecy, with an Appendix, being a refutation of Millerism, 1843; No Union with Rome, 1843; an edition of Dr. Hartwell Home's Mariolatry, 1844; A Synoptical Table of Egyptian and Sacred History^ 1846; The Colonies of Heaven, a Convention Sermon, 1846; A Reply to Miluer's End of Contro- versy, 1847; and A Voice from Connecticut, occasioned by the late Pastoral Letter of the Bishop of North Carolina, 1849. And all this while his great work was going on, so that Vol. 1 of Ids proposed History — The Church of the Redeemed — was published in 1850. Nor was this all. Scarcely " had he resigned his charge m Middletown when he began to do missionary duty at a small sta- tion which he himself established in the neighborhood. This he continued to serve, with only interruptions occasioned by his neces- sary absences, till withiu a few months of his death. For some DESCENDANTS OF WILLIAM — FOURTH GENERATION. 49 I US Ista- he l)ine years, he usually walked the distance between his liome and this station — several miles — undeterred by weather or any other cause." This life of untiring industry and conscientious labor went on, with no continuous interruption but that of a visit to England in 1844, until 1850. In the autumn of that year, symptoms of dis- ease began to manifest themselves. No treatment succeeded in removing them, and he died at Middletown, March 26, 18.^)1. One who was his pupil, and who was honored with his friend- ship, has written words whi(;h shall close this brief sketcli of a useful, faitliful, and lionored life. "As a preacher, Dr. Jarvis was remarkable for tlie clear and elegant style in which he set forth weighty truths. Few men ever wrote purer English. None ever put more matter into their ser- mons. Ilis manner in the pulpit was grave and dignificHl. He used but little gesture, though tlie tones of his voice were earnest and solemn. "Any one meeting Di-. Jarvis, in any comj)any, would mark him at once as an ecclesiastic and a scholar, and would be attractiKl l)y his courteous and even courtly bearing. Intercourse and famil- iarity 2>resen((!d hiiu as one of tlu* most transparent and guileless of men. And notwithstanding the bitter trials through wluch he passed, and the harsh lessons which he learned of the danger of relying on anything human, he retained these characteristics to the last. ' I would rather,' he once said in a letter to me, 'be deceived cv(!ry hou)- of every day, than to live in such a state of suspicion and distrust of everybody as does.' It was honest sincerity of I'eart and purpose, anticipating that in othei's of which it was con- scious in itself, and this was accompanied with a most complete submission to and faith in tlio will and wisdom of God. T had once written to him to the effect that he seemed to have attained entire trust in God's overruHng care. ' Not entire,' was his reply, ' for then I should not only be submissive, but should not even feel anxious: this I have ni')t reached.' "It wa? I'ly privilege to l)e with him almost constantly during the clovsing scenes of his life, and they have left with me a memory wh.ich can never [lass an'ay. Sucli details are too sacred to be lightly touched for tver)' e}e, or s))oken in every (^ar. The last Communion, when his children and his pupils knelt around liis bed, and when every word uf prayer and praise came full from his wasted lips, was a service froin which it seemed hard to come back to the ordinary things of life. And it. was easy here, as at 50 DESCENDANTS OP WILLIAM — FOURTH GENERATION. all other times, to see his hopes and comforts were found only in the Merits and the Blood of Him whose servan. and minister he was. Dr. Jarvis was married, July 3, 1810, to Sarah McCurdy, daughter of Elisha Hart, Esq., of Saybrook. Six children were the issue of this marriage. OO. No. Name. Born. Died.

His noble qualities of mind and heart, conspicuous in his domes- tic relations, could only be realized by an inmate of his family. In that charmed circle ho was ever the kind and tlevoted husband, the alfectionate father, the guide and protector of his children, beloved and venerated by them all. Of a cheerful and genial dis- position, the youngest child could approach him, as.sured of his parental kindness and sympathy, wliile his pure example and unaffcjcted dignity of dt^portment su{)i)ressed all undue familiarity. Gifted with line; conversational powers, he had a keen accuse of wit and humor, and was the very soul of that inno(!ent conviviality that sheds such a cheerful influence and lustre over the endear- ments of home. Although dignilied in his manner, affable and courteous to an eminent degree, he enjoyed a joke immensely. He was a true-hearted American, and loved the land of his birtli, the glorious land of Washington. His cousin. Colonel Stephc^i Jarvis, was a staunch Royalist, and after seven years' service in the King's army, had taken up his x'esidence in Canada.

Thoir criminationH and recriininatioim wore aH good-natured as they wore oarneat, and the laug]i around the doinostic circle was loud and hearty at the rattling roniarks and jokes made at the oxponso of oacli other. About tli(i year 1H2(), the Colonel visited his "rebel" cousin, Noali, iind Miey had a very inten;ating time; but notwithstanding all this happiness at again meeting i^ach other, the old 8u])ject was revived and the wordy feud went on with the same earnestness and good nature as ever. It was in the ( the breakfast-bell, askcMl the Cohjiiel if he ever took a morning bitter. Tim (-olonel replied that he did occasionally, but not as a regular thing, lie would, however, on this particular occasi(jii be gratified to join his cousin in a friendly lilmtion. Noah led him into his parlor, where he had, hanging between the. windows, (ilcgantly framed and in large, bold type, "The Dkci.ahation ok Indki-kndkncik,." lie pcnnti.'d it out to the Colonel, saying as he ilid so, "Then*, my royal (tousiii, I think, is a dram bitter enough for you.'" The Coloiiel looked at it, retorting good-naturedly, ''llii! ha! that's it, is it, you rebel?" The dram was, indeed, hi/In- enough for the palate of his royal cousin. Again, in the summer of IS24. the ("olonel, still alive to his old and darling subject, wrote to his " n^bel " cousin a letter, in which he said in a bold hand, "'i'his is the birthday of my royal master. King (reoi'ge the Third," giving tin* date, also, of the reign of his rcigal majesty, and adding some very laudatory remarks of the ruling monarch. Noah waitcid to reply until the following 25th of November, when he wrote to his rovalist cousin as follows: "This is the return of that glorious day when the infernal lobster-backs left this city and country, thank (iod, never to return!" And thus went on this pleasant warfan* until 1840, when the good old Colonel "was gathered to his fathers." It is indeed pleasant to review the character of ^uv\\ a man as the subject of our present memoir, a man so universally beloved and respected, one who, through the changing scenes of a busy life, and fluctuations of trade and commercial interests, never varied from the strictest ruU^s of honesty and integrity. He was a man of fine literary attainments and cultivated taste, and enjoyed the society of men of culture and refinement. He was a sincere and faithful friend, over ready to help the deserving.

Early in life he removed to Cheshire, where he worked at his trade, which was that of a carpenter and cabinet-maker. On the 20th October, 1803, he married Mary Ann Atwater, with whom he lived most liappily daring the remainder of his life and who bore him a numerous family of children. He was a worthy and prominent man in the town, and was often chosen to places of trust, which he filled successfully, and with unwavering fidelity. In 1813, he purchased of the Rev. Samuel Fannar Jarvis, D D LL.D., the dwelling of the late Bishop Jarvis. In this house were passed many pleasant years a.nong his children, cheerful relatives and friends, and in this venerable dwelling the good man sank to rest, believing and trusting in a higher and a better life. To those who survive, there is not only a sad, but pleasing satisfaction in recalhng the memories that cluster around this cherished old 1 ome- .3tead. Mr. Jarvis was devoted to the doctrines and services of the Epis- copal Church, in which he was educated. He was often a delegate to the Diocesan Convention, and was ^ ■ 64 DESCENDANTS OF WILLIAM FOURTH GENERATION. for many years, Warden and Treasurer of St. Peter's Church,. Cheshire.

And so it often {)roved, for slie would hardly get started before some neighbor or friendly traveler would a-ssist her to the place in which her soul delighted. Bishop Jarvis and Mr. Hezekiah Jarvis were brothers, and tlie Bishop's son, the Rev. Dr. Samuel Farinar Jarvis, offered to fit his young cousin, "William, for college, who was, for some time, an inmate of the Doctor's family, and who had decided to devote him- self, as soon as his studies were completed, to the ministry of the Church. The friendship between these two cousins was deep, true, and lasting, and when sorrow and embarrassment overtook the Doctor in tiie latter part of his liffi, the love of his cousin William proved a precious boon to his wounded spirit. Mr. Jarvis was graduated at Union Collcsge, and afterwards pur- sued his theological studies at New Haven, Conn. In August, 1822, he was ordained deacon at Norwalk, by the late Bishop Brownell, and, (m the .')th of November of the following year, was ordained priest, also by him, at East Haddam, at which place, and Hebron, he ministered for some time. While at Hebnm'he won the affection and friendship of Dr. Peters, who was also Governor of the State, and this friendship continued uiuibated until death sei)arated them. During Mr. Jarvis's ministry at Hebron, a church was erected, which was then considered one of the handsomest rural churches in the diocese. This church was altered and repaired only a few months before his death, and it was a great pleasure to him to prove to his old parishioners that he still remembered them with affection, by presenting to the i^arish a font of Ohio stone, com- memorative of his rectorship from 1821 to 1826. Mr. Jarvis was married by the Rt. Rev. Bishop Brownell, in December, J 825, to Miss Elizabeth Miller Hart, eldest daughter of Major Richard William and Mrs. Elizabeth Hart of Saybrook, Connecticut, a marriage which resulted in great and lifelong happi- ness. From Hebron, Mr. Jarvis removed to Chatham, now Portland, Conn., where he continued rector of Trinity Church until disabled by a severe bronchitis, induced by undue exercise of his voice wliile suffering from whooping cough. For months he couhl only speak in a whisper, and for years suffered great pain and discomfort. He DKHCKNDANTS OK WILMAM — FOUUTII (»KNEKATION. i7 was at last reluctantly coinpolUid to give up all hope of doing ofTicial work again, and resigned lii.s parish. IIo was succeeded by the Elev. Samuel Emory, who was, for some time, a memljor of his family. Mr. Jarvis retin^d from tlio ministry, soro as was the trial, and devot(Hl hiniHclf to his home and family. Ho was surrounded l)y fritiuds, and tliose, with an iuUiresting domestic circle, made his life cheerful and hajjjiy. 'I'hcro were (ivo daughters and four sons, and as in every picture there uuist bo shadows, so in this beautiful and sunny group the dark shadow of death entered, and cast a gloom around tlio happv fin'side. Four of these cliildren were swept away almost siinulttiiieously by that terrible scourge, scarhit fever. Mr. Jarvis continued to reside in Portland until ISfj'i, when he removed to Middhitown, where he remained until after the marriage of his eldest daughter to ('ol. Samuel Colt of Hartford, Connecti- cut, when he made; that city his homo. " As a preacher, Mr. .larvis was ftu-vent and impn^ssive, both liis voice and dc^livery being good; as a pastor, he was distinguished for (idelity ami devotion; as a friend, ho was faithful and generous, and as a husband, kind, wise, and affectionate." In July, 18G(5, the family of Mr. Jarvis were again alTlictcid by the death of his youngest son, John Sanuml, named after his tried friend, (Jov. Peters. He had just completed his '2!)th year, leaving a widow and two young daugliters. But Mr. Jarvis's life was drawing to a chise. Afflicted with a painful disease, he often suffered intensely, but, with a trusting faith, lie resigned himself to the will of his Heavenly B'ather, await- ing the hour when he should be with his loved ones who had gone before. Conscious that his (md was approaching, he bade farewell to his beloved wife, his children and grandchildren, aiid to his cherished friends, whom he had loved so long and well, And tlum his spirit passed away to a bright and glorious immortality.

Dr. Jarvis was a thorough English scholar, and an educator of youth during his earlier manliood and scholastic life. He studied his profession vyith Ids hrother-in-law, Dr. Truman Spencer Wet- more of Winchester, Connecticut, and was a painstaking and persevering student. lie was licensed to practice medicine and surgery in 1817, and first settled in Torrington. After the expira- tion of two years, he removed to Colebrook, where lie remained until 1840, when he left for Portland, ♦a beautiful village on the Connecticut river opposite Middletown. There he practiced his profession with increasing jjatronago and success until he died at tlie age of eighty, a victim to erysipelas and diphtheria. He received the degree of M.D. from Yale College in 1816. Dr. Jarvis was of an inventive turn of mind, and his genius and skill were largely exercised in that direction. His "Ad.iustek," an instrument for the more ready and easy manner of reducing and replacing fractures and dislocations, pi-oved a success, and gave him an enviable notoriety. At one time, he visited Europe, where he remained several months. In London they recognized DKBCENDANTS OF WILIJAM — FIFTH GKNKrJATION. 67 of and his genius and ability, and, by special invitation, he delivered a course of lectures on " Fractures and Dislocations," l)pfore the learned magnates of that ancient and intellectual city. These were published at the time in the " London Lancet." As a mark of respec^t for the man, and as an acknowledgment of his genius, learning, and skill, the "Society for the Promotion of Arts and Commerce " presented him the largest gold medal ever received by an American. Prince Albert was president of th(^ society, and the doctor had th(^ distinguished honor of receiving it at tlie hand of the prince himself. During the last days of the doctor's life, he prepareil a work on Electricity and Ozone. It was carefully written, and showed that the author was not only an accom])lished scholar, but a profound thinker and scientist. Dr. Jarvis was a model husband and father, and a genial friend and companion. He was the soul of hospitality and honor, and was never more happy than when surrounded by a rhvAe of his neighboi's and friends. Like all of the name, he had a love for th(! humorous, and was ever ready at Itdn mot and repartee. With a keen and ai)preciative musical ear, his whole life seemed rounded as with pleasant harmonies. Dr. Jarvis married a very estimable lady, a Miss Mar«hall, in the town where he hrst settled. They had an interesting family of childiHui, who were devoted to their parents, and who loved to meet with them around the domestic hearth. Firm in the doctrines of the Episcopal Church, their Christmas and other holidays were the occasions of the most happy and interesting annual re-unions, and of the renewal of delightful associations. These two, who lived such a consistent Christian life, and were so much endeared to each other and their children, have passed away, and now sleep side by side in the little church yard across the way from their once happy home, awaiting the glorious morn- ing of the Re8urre(!tion Day.

[The followinc: sketch is al)bn:viated from an arficle wliich appeared in the Montrml Qazette of 16th April, 1878.] "Probably the old(>.st Judge in the Douiinion, and perhaps the widest Icnowu, died yesterduy at C«^rn\vall, Ontario, (leo. Stepiien Benjamin Jarvis, Judge of tiie united counties of Storniont, Dundas, and < jlengarry, for many y( ars a familiar figure at Diocesan and Pro- vincial Synods of the .\nglican Church, one of the oldest remain- ing of the York Pioneers, and conspicuous throughout Ontario for the interest taken by him during over half a centuiy in the devel- opment of a Canadian military spirit, was born at Fredericton, New Brunswick, on the 21st April, \1S)1 . His father, Stephen Jarvis, served as a Lieutenant of Cavalry in the South Carolina Royalists during the Revolutionary War." For an extended account of his eventful life we refer our read- ers to our sketch of Tiim which appears in its proper place in anotlK'r part of this work. " The late Judge's military education commenced at a very early age. When the war of 1812 broke out and his father's regiment was ordered to the Upper Province, we find he had passed through all the non-commissioned grades and had become a volunteer attached to the 49th King's Regiment. With this corps he first smelt powder at Queenstown Heights, and in his later days never tired of recounting his experiences on that occasion. "At Queenstown yoting Jarvis, then 15 years old, was taken prisoner, and for some days he was retained in the camp of Gen- eral Van Rensselaer. He soon, however, gained his release and rejoined the 49th, in wldch ha henceforth seems to have occupied the position of a gentleman cadet, passing all his time with the officers, and admitted to the privileges of their mess. Soon after, the regiment retired into Fort George for the winter. Early in the spring of 181.3, young Jarvis was sent to Hamilton with a brigade of boats, and thence to York, with orders to bring back a DKSCKNDANTS OF WIl.MAM — FIFTH OKNEKATION. 75 party of grenadiers belonging to the 8th regiment. He failed in his mission for the excellent reason that he found York invested by the Americans, and, on the 27th April, he took pfut in the battle which, as all know, ended by the ictreat of fhe British and Canadian forces to Kingston. En route, he was appointed an Assistant ("Commissary, and on arrival at Kingston was selected to fill an appointment on the sialT of Sir K. Sheaffe. In this position he remained imtil, York being evacuated by the enemy, he was ordered to rejoin his regiment on the Niagara frontier, when, to his utter disgust, he found Fort George in the hai'ds of the enemy, and the British in full retreat upon Hamilton. Thouce young Jarvis was speedily dispatched oh a rcconnoitcring expedition in the direction of Stony Creek. Four da} s afterwards, he fell in with the enemy's advanced guard, and after a coanci] of war, the 49th, seven hundred strong, marched out to encounter the Americans — the Light Company, to which Mr. Jarvis was attached, leading the advance. The Americans were defeated by a force less than one- fifth of their iiumber, and, through the intervention of the fleet, were shut up until the winter in Fort (Jeorge. On the 28th June, Jarvis was engaged at the. capture of the Beaver dam, and subse- quently in the affairs of Fort Schlosser and Black Rock. "On the 30th, he was present at the capture of Fort Niagara, which was retained during the remainder of the war. "While , stationed here, he was notified of his appointment to aTi ensigncy in the Hth (King's) Regiment, which he immediately joined, and with it he was present at the capture of Fort Erie, and the subse- quent disa.strous battle of ('hippewa, where tJie 8th covered the retreat of tlu; British forces. Next came Lundy's Lane, the most terrible action of the war, when Jarvis, who had then attained the age of 17 years and 3 months, commanded a company of his battalion, and acted throughout with singular intrepidity. The storming of Fort Erie, perhaps the bloodiest strife of the war, again found Jarvis at the front, and here, again, on the 17th of September, he was taken jirisoiier, escaping after a .'series of singu- lar adventurers. Tlur evacuation of the fort by the Anu^ricans shortly afterwards brought to a close the war on the Niagara frontier, and the 8th received orders to march to Montreal, from which they embarked for England. The deceased's military career was thus cut short. In tht' spring of 1815 Mr. Jarvis was stationed at Windsor Castle, but shortly afterwards he was i)laced on half- pay or reduction. Through the intercession of Sir R. Sheaffe he T' 76 DKSCKNnANTS OP WILMAM — PrFTH ORNKRATION. ! |:l 1 I was, however, reappointed — this time to the 1 04th regiment, sta- tioned in Canada, but hardly had he arrived ont, when the 1 04th was disbanded, and he was again placed on the retired list." "In 1817, Mr. Jarvis commenced the study of the law, and in the succeeding year he was attached to the firu) of the late Hon. Jonas Jones of Brockville, in which he became a partner in 1820. In January, 1823, he was called to the Bar, being then sixty-ninth on the roll. Of all his contemporaries, Mr. Norton Buell of Toronto, is now the only survivor, in 1834, Mr. Jarvis was named a Bencher of the Law Socdety of Upper Canada; in I8,'i5, County Judge of Prescott and Russell; iji 1837. of Leeds and (xrenville; ana iv 1842, of Stormont, Duudas, and Glengarry. The latter appointment he held to the day of his death, though for the past year his duties have been performed by the Junior Judg<\ The Judge's career on the Bench, extending over 51 years, has through- out been marked by tlie same zeal and unswerving devotion to duty which signalized his brief but active service as a soldiei'. During his judicial career, notwithstanding the immense amount of work he performed, it is on record that only four cases of those decided by him were appealed, and two of these were upheld by the Supreme Courts." "In 1836, the deceased Judge was elected to represent the town of Cornwall in the Provincial Parlianujut, and, in 1850, was appointed Lieut. -Colonel of the 1st Stormont Militia. 'I'lie last time he displaced an active interest in inilitaiy matters was during tlu Trent affair, when ho, was instrunuuital in raising a company /or Captain ( )liver. a service r(!cognized by the presenta- tion to him of an address and a sword of honor by the officers and men he had called into activity. "Throughout his long life Judge Jarvis was an uncompromising churchnum. As he was a contempoi-ary, so he was a steadfast friend and adniirer of the late Bishop Strachan, long the header of the ('hurch militant in Upper (Canada, and the moving spirit of that much-abused family compact which at one time ruled the politics of the Province. Of late years the Judge has taken a very active inter- est in the building of the Strachan Memorial Church at Cornwall, and on several occasions has lectured on the War of 1812 in order to help in providing funds for that ol)ject. As illustrative of the late Judge's devotion to the church, it nmy be sfid that he invariably set apart one-tcuith of his income for church puii)Oses, and at Synod and Vestry he lost no opportunity of proclaiming this to be the first duty of every churchman."

Her sentences are clear, and her knowledge and state- ment of facts and incidents in relation to her family, show that her mind is still unimpaired and reliable. She lives with one of her sons, and her life is evidently one of tranquillity and peace, as her mind seems so cheerful under her weight of yeai's. She says the world still looks beautif\il to her, and that she enjoys the varying seasons in their endless variety of sunshine and shade, out that with the unalteral)lp truth before her that her life is nearing its end, she looks forward with unfaltering trust to a glorious future, awaiting with Christian resignation that great and certain change that must sooner or later conie to all.

He was r<^lated by birth, and also by marriage, to the .larvis family, (.apt. Samuel Jarvis l)eing his great grandfather. In early life, about the year 1807, he went to New York, in which city, a few years later, he established himself as a watch- maker and jeweler, on the corner of Broadway and V^esey street, and continued in this business until 1820. From that year until 1841, he devoted his attention to the care and management of real e.state, enjoying the confidence of, and l>eing employed by, such men as Gen. S. V^an Rensselaer, Gen. Morgan Lewis, John J. Astor. and other well-known, eminent citizens of New York. Mr. Osborn was twice married. At the age of 23 years he married Miss Huldah Jarvis, daughter of Noah Jarvis; they had six children. After her decease, in 18^7, ho married Miss Mary A. White of New York. By this second marriage they had six children. In the year 1841, he retired from active business and removed to Norwalk, his native town, where he resided until his death, in 1869. He lived to a good old age, and died in his 77th year, respected and lamented by all who knew him. Mr. Osborn was an affectionate husband and father, and a kind and steadfast friend. 3S1.

Feb. 0, 1870, Was born on Friday ,tAiig. 15, 1800, in tho old homestt^ad of his grandfather, Doctor Joseph Chapman, at Poplar riains, late Nor- walk, now Westport, C;onn. His father and mother died of yellow fever during the preva- lence of that disease in New York in 1801. He and his sister ?]lizal)(!t]i were, consequently, for several years, in the care of their grandfatlier Chapman's family. When Nelson was a))out five years old, he was placed in cliarge of his grandfather, Hezekiah Jar- vis, who resided in the old homestead of the Jarvis family in Nor- walk, Coryi., and this he was accustomed to call his home. He attended school at the academy in Norwalk, afterwards at the acad- emy in Greenfield, and at (Cheshire, ("!onn. Like David, he loved to throw stones. The weathercock of St. Paul's church, Norwalk, fell by his hands. The boarding-house at (Ireenfield Academy was incidentally supplied from their own barnyard by his unerring aim, when the scholars sought a/oiol diet. Mr. Jarvis was apprenticed to a Mr. Bull of Danbury, Conn., to be taught the trade of draper and tailor, and remained with him until he was nearly twenty-one years of age. Not being in vigor- ous health, he went South to recu{)erate, and, on his return, renewed his early attachment for Elosia, only daughter of Capt. John Gray of Poplar Plains. The young man, flush with the style, dress, and gentility of city life, was forbidden the privilege by the stern old farmer. Nevertheless, he inarried Elosia on Sunday, September » Married Oct. 29, 1840, toE. 8. Landers; April. 1865, Geo. B. Bates. DKHCKNOANTS (>K WIM.IAM — FIFTH aKNKKATlt)N. 85 8, 1822.

In the following autumn, Mr. .Tarvis visited the South again in the interests of his brother-in-law, Mr. Jonathan Waterbury, with whont he continued in business connection for several years. On the 2r)th November, 1825, h(wnarried Mary, (>ld(^st dauglitor of Lewis Raymond, a prominent citizen of Saugatu<;k, now West- port, Conn. Of this marriages tluM'e were born one .son, who died when about ton years of agc^ and three daughters, still living. About 1829, he entered into partnership with his uncle, Samuel Jarvis, under the style of S. & N. Jarvis, and so continued until 1837, when Samuel retired, and Nelson assumed the debts of the firm, and, by untiring industry, paid them in full. The burden ho assiuned, and so nol)ly carried, prevented the ac'quirement of the wealth that otherwise would have resulted from his industry and perseverance. About 1817, Mr. Jarvis, having a large aciiuaiiitanco a.iiong the clergy of the Episcopal ('hurch in the United States and Canada — at the request of his friends among the clergy, prominent among them the late Rev. J)r. Muhlenb(n-g — was induced to special efi'orts to obtain uniformity in the " cut of the cloth" for the clei'gy, more in character with the habit and di*ess of the ministers of the English ('hurch, and with regard to clerietal comfort and convenience. Soon the notoriety of a lai-g(!ly increased business in this special branch led him to adopt the title (first of the name) of " Clerical Tailor," whi(;h has now become common to those who serve the clergy in that business. A Christian and Churchman of firm though uiodest character, early led by a working faith to loving duties in the church, he was prominent in the parish, where he worshiped, not only as a con- stant observer, but as a doer of church work. For many years he was Superintendent of St. Paul's Sunday-school in Trinity Parish, New York. His children, hand in hand with him, wiMided their way thither, ami were known and observed of all. In the front pew of old St. Paul's, in his latter days, his gray head was seen as he stood, and kneeled, and prayed in the parish where he wor- shiped in his youth. 86 nEHf'KNDANTS OF WII.IJAM — FIFTH nENFRATtON.

An address was given in the coui-se of the services, y)y the Rev.

His father held civil and ecclesiastical offices of trast and influence for many years, while his mother watched tenderly for the welfare of the children, and impressed upon them the necessity of honesty and industry, a high respect for religion, and a regular attendance upon the services of the church. The subject of this sketch received a fair education at the Episcopal Academy in Cheshire, then under the care of the Rev. Dr. Tillotson Bronson; but, at the age of eighteen, preferring a mercantile to a professional life, he went to New York, and by the aid of his uncle, Noah Jarvis, obtained a clerkship for one year, without salary. His home, during this time, was with his uncle, and his clerkship, though an agreeable one, was useful only, as it proved, in the way of education, for his employers failed at the end of the second year, and he was left without a situation. The general depression in all circles of business after 1826, made it exceedingly difficult to obtain another place suited to his ntind. His uncle, therefore, having confidence in his ability and persever- ance, kindly assisted him to open a grocery store, and, after ten years' hard labor and assiduous attention to the business, he had accumulated enough to enter upon the wholesale trade. In 1854, he withdrew from the firm of Stanton & Jarvis with a ci'edit and character untarnished by failure or compromise, and that, too, after an active business life of 26 years — many of tliem y»mrs of disaster and ruin to old and establislunl houses. This stop was in accord- ance with a resolution early formed that he would retire when it should be convenient after he had accumulated a moderate com- petency. In 1860, he was unanimously elected President of the Jjcnox Fire Insurance Company, New York, an offici' which he still holds (1879), and under whose oversight it has attained a good .standuig among the reliable institutions of the city. In 1840, he moved to Brooklyn, and, in 1844, built the house which he now occupies, having identified himself in many ways ' Married in Buffalo, by Rev. Ed. Ingersoll, D.D. 88 DESCENDANTS OP WILLIAM FIFTJI GENERATION. witli the city of his adoption. He was among the Corporators of the Brooklyn Atlieneum, tlie South Brooklyn Savings Bank (of which for twenty-iive years he has been Vice-President), the Atlan- tic Fire Insurance (>)., the Home Life Insui'ance Co., a Director of the Atlantic Dock Co., and he is connected with several educational and benevolent institutions. He served his time in the New York Seventh Regiment, and is now a member of the Veteran Corps. While working actively in New York and Brooklyn, he has never lost his interest in his native village. He visits it annually, and thus shows that his heart fondly turns to the home and scenes of his youth. In 1865, he suggesteti a soldiers' inunument in Cheshire, and was the chief contributor towards its erection — a monument Ijelieved to have been the first of the kind in the country, and commemorat- ing, among otluu-s, the name of his friend and .schoolmate, Admiral Andrew H. Foote. He gave libei-ally towards the enlargement of the church in that place, and towards the erection of Bronson Hall, one road. He could not ask the gentleman within to relieve him, as his attention was given to " the comfort of wife and baby." They reached Columbus in tim<; for the train, a?id upon arriving in Galveston, Jarvis went directly to the steanun*, which sailed at midnight; but his companions, by seeking rest at a hotel, missed their passage, and as the l)lockade was declareil immediately after this, they were forced to return to San Antonio. The weary invalid travelled without rest until he reached Buffalo. The fatigue and excitement of the long journey quite overbalanced any benefit which his sojourn in Texas might have gained for lujn, and he died after lingering on through another year and shedding brightness upon all who came within his influence. George, the other son, was a young man of promise, with a mind active and well-developed by study and general reading, but his strength and health failed him, and two years after the decease of his brother he was laid beside him in the beautiful cemetery of Greenwood. Both became communii^auts of the 'Episcopal Church in their boyhood, and to the end were consistent in their char- acters and faithful in their religious duties. The inscription on the chancel window which parental affection has erected in the Parish Church at Cheshire, fitly expresses the well-groimded hope of their eternal life, " Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God," • 12 ■-i- v 90 DEHCKNUANT8 OF WILMAM KIFTII OKNKKATION. 3SO.

From his mother and maternal grandfather he inherited some of his most marked chaiacteristics, and if we may judge from the miniatui'e of his mother, he inherited, in a great measure, her beautiful features. His mother, around whom circled so many gentle and tender memories, and whom he loved so fondly, died before he had completed his seventh year.

His father was Dr. Tnuiian Spencer Wt^tmore, whose anci stor left Kngland in ltV25 ard settled in Middletc.wn, piirclmsing a ver^ large tract of land along the pleasant banks of die Connecticut river, \vher<^ many of the name are now located. William Jarvis commenced the study of the classics under the tuition of the la,e Rev. Frederick Marsh, m his native; town, and after ilie conclusion of his acadcinic course, i)ros(!cuted the study of medicine and sui'gery under the instruction of his father, and also his uncle, the late Dr. (leorge U. Jarvis. He was afterward graduated as a Doctor of Medicine aud Surgery at Yele College, liis Alma Mater. During his studies he was a poetical contributor to the New I'hnjIdiKl Weekly Reviev), which was for some time; under the editorial charge of the late Geo. D I'rentice, On his return from college to hi.: ^/aternal home, he passed the first three or four years in teaching music, after which he removed to New York city, and engaged in the sale of drugs and chemicals in connection with h's profession, at the same time teaching the I DESCENDANTS OF WILLIAM SIXTH (iENKUATION. piano-forto and conipoi^ing and pul)li8hing songs aiul liallads. He wrote and puMished many songs of which ho was the author of both the words and music. In addition to his knowledge of the Latin and Greek poets, he was acquainted with tlio French, (jornian, Spanish, and Itahan lan- guages, and being a smooth versifier, he was frefpiently employed to translate into English text the songs of foreign authors, lie was, in the first instance, engaged by the celebrated hnffu canfante, Signer De Hegnis, to translate the early songs of Donizetti, which were written by him for the accomplished vocalist, Ronzi, the wife of De Begnis, and introduced by her in the operas of "Agiiese," " 11 Uarbiei'e di Siviglia," and " 11 Turco in Italia." lie also wrote several lyrics for De Hegnis, who coniposeil the music, all of which were subsequently published with English and Italian text. In the same year (1842), he was associated with the late John Graham, the blind Scottish bard, in arranging and publishing in book form, with music, the songs which tlu^ poet had written for the St. .Vntlrew's Society, which, in connection with his fugitive pieces, made a vt'iime of 1 10 pages royal octavo. In 1840, the Doctor issued a musical annual (entitled " L'isola Incantata,' or '-The Fairy Isle." It was founded on an Eastern superstition, and for this pleasant snuvimir he wrote both the poetry and music. He was, dufing the same y(>ar, the author of various sketches entitled "Sketches of the Past," or " I'ictures from Life," which were published in the various magazines through- out the country. He has also translated into English verse the songs of the various operas as they appeared successively! fi-om Gounod, Donizetti, Mc^yerheer, Offeidmch, Lecocq, and others, until his original songs and ballad translations are very numerous. For Antliony Philip Ileinrich, more familiarly known as " Father Heinrich," he wrote the libretto for an oratorio, which Ileinrich dedicated to the Emperor of Austria. This was translated into (Jerman V(M'se, ar'"ang \ with nuisic for the oichestia and piano- forte, and perfornuHl in I'l-ague before the Emj)eror and royal family, the orchestra being conducted by Ileinrich himself. He also furnished him with several original songs, for which Heinrich wrote the music. They were also translated into German verse, atid very beautifully gotten up with pictun; titles in Vienna. In 1800, he published a satire in verse entitled "(lotliam .\m- brotypes." In 1865 he translated from the French, Pauseron's A, R, C of Music, and the following year edited Hamilton's Musical Dictionary. 110 DESCENDANTS OF WIIXIAM SIXTH (JKNKKATION In 18(5!), lie was tlu^ Editor of a Musical Magazino, in which he furnished raany of tlie stories and miscellaneous articles that filled its pages, as well as the music in that department of the paper. In 1871, he wrote a hundred original lyrics for the Poly technic and ,\thona3uin, two musical publications, and, in the same year, he dt'livcrod a ])oem at the celebration of tlu? cenw/.nial of his native villages which has been since published in the "Annals" of the town ))y the Hon. John Hoyd. He also fur nished an original ode, words and music, for the same occasion, entitled " Beautiful Pays of the Past." In LS'?-*, he [)ublished a volume of music entiiled "The Ori- ental," a collection of traditional and ancient Jewish melodies, adapting them to ('hristian service, the dates of many of them running back to the days of Moses and the Proi)hets. Many of the hynms are original. He is now engiiged on a S(!cond series of these ancient mi'lodies, most of which, if not secured within the next few yc^irs, nnist be lost to the musical world for.evi*r. Dr. Wetmore's love for his mother, and his many eulogistic lines to her memory, tlie hajjpy fireside, and the pleasant scenes of his childhood and youth, make pleasing episodes of his early life. The following original poem, written but a few years ago, shows how fondly he recalls those golden days: A DREAM. I dreamed last night of my early days, When life had not a care; The friends now sleeiiiui;- in the tomb, I fancied all were there. We talked of scenes long past and gone, Scenes liial were once so dear; It seemed there had bi'i'u lio decay, 'Twas chililhood's happy j^ear. The merry laugliler of the young, Each joyous sport and game, The lively joke, the sweet old song, And each familiar name; The grand old tree before the door, With broad and ample shade, Waved its strong branches to the breeze, The same, still uudecayed.

The souii; birds whistled in the trees, I heard the cooing dove; The breezes kissed my boyish brow, — 'Twas YOUTU, and home, and love. M}' father's voice was still as kind. As earnest as of yore ; My mother sang the same sweet songs I'd heard so oft before; And sister, brothers, all were there; Our hearts beat high with mirth; And there we sat and talked, as when 'Round boyhood's happy hearth. Dr. Wetmore married, in tlie year 1844, a Miss Elizabeth Jane Campbell. Her parents wore from Scotlaml, her mother being born in the city of Edinburgli. The daugliter was intellectual, refined, and cultivated. In addition to a sound English education, she was an excellent Erench scholai-; and she not only play(;d tlie piano very acceptably, but sang tlu^ songs of liurns and Moore with fine taste and feeling. As friend, companion, wife, and mother, she was unexceptional )le. We give below a little poem wliich her husband wrote and sent to her on her birthday, while he was making a brief visit to his daughtei', who resides, with her husband, on the banks of the Delaware, 'i'hc lines are as follows: % m.

In 1869, he was appointed examining surgeon for pensions, and on the organization of the Board in Hartford, was appointed its President, which position he still holds. F\)r six years Jie was a member of the examining committee lor conferring degrees at the Medical Institution of Yale College, and relinquished the position through ill healtii. In 1871, he was appointed attending surgeon to the Hartford Hospital, a position which he still occupies. 403. Married or Remarks. June 14, 1834. No. Name. Born. Died. Thos.

In the spring of 1820, his father sold the old homestead, and after a temporary rjssidence in the village, removed, with his family, in 1821, to Canastoke, town of Lenox, in Madison county. The farm on which he located was part of the tract known as the Indian Reservation, and is situated on tlie Erie Canal, about mid- way between the city of Utica and Syracuse. Until the year 1825, Dr. Jarvis worked on the farm during the pleasant months of summer, and in the winter attended the district school. He then went to an adjoining town, engaging with a Mr. James Beebe to learn the trade of a tanner and currier. In the year 1828, from the depression of business, hi? left Mr. Beebe and his tannery, to seek a more profitable calling. In the winter of 1S30, he visited his uncle, Dr. Hammond of Dover, Dutchess Co., who proposed that he should study medicine. The proposition was accepted, and, in the spring of 1832, he entered his uncle's office, whei'c^ he applied ]iims(>lf closely to his books. .After the necessary lapse of time, and after lie had gained the prescribtid amount of knowledge, he was graduated, with all due honors, in the winter of 1834 and 1835, from the old Univer- sity in Barclay street, New York, under Professors Mott, lihine- lander, and others of like celebrity. He then returned to Dover, and entered into partnership with his uncle. The following winter, 1^'ebrnary 20, 1836, he married Miss Jean- nette J. Butler, daughter of Mr. William Butler of New Hartford, Connecticut. Miss Butler was j)rinoipal of a young ladies' seni'- ot-^tH.^^ jf n --^MMMUMMha Ml 118 DKHOKNDANTK nW urn t » . M In i^li '■i. t^t-^L-tA-C^ , DKHCKNDANTH OF WII,I,1AM SIXTH (IKNKKATION. lit) I IP , iiary. a talented and very lovely woman. The fniit of this happy union was the birth of a daugliter, Louise Jeannette, now Mrs. L. P. Kay, who was born January 10, 18;{7. In the autumn of the same year, Mrs. Jarvis took a 8;^vore cold, whicii settled on her lungs, finally developing into phthisis, wliieti resulted in her d(>ath, April 24, \H',]H. From a broken and now desolate household, the daughter was sent to the hoint> and ean; of the doctor's mother, where, after a brief period, \w followed her. In the year 1840, ho began, as it were, anew the business of life. Among the Tiiompsoiuaus, Eclectics, and the innumerable medical pretenders that swarm over the country like noisy and hungry locusts, he set up his practice, and notwithstanding his surroundings, jirosecuted his profession with succes.s and pfolit. It was only after ten years anil much deliberation, that hv again concluars of age, and still his eye is as l)right, his step as firm and elastic, as when at forty. Like his nonagenarian grandfather, he may live on, growing in grace, and reserving his strength, until, in the fulness of time, he may be numbered with his centenarian progenitors. No. Name. Born.

It is a pleasing task to he able to record the virtues and e.Ki-el- len(!es of the brave men ajid loyal women who have borne the name of Jarvis, and to find the .same strong and striking charao teristics in the present as in past generations, therel)y giving to the family the same distinctive qualities through all its history, of integrity, honor, and love of country. In no member of it have these featnres shoni^ brighter than in the subject who heads our brief sket(di. We make the t'oUowing extract from a letter recently received from Mr. Jarvi.s, which explains itself: "On the breaking out of the Hebeliion, I was on a visit to my parents, whom I never failed to visit once a year. I told them it was a critical time for our country (this was in 1862), when both of them became much excited; they hoped T c(mld give them some good news, but 1 could not. My motlusr exclaimed, 'David, you have three good boys, Abram, Charles, and Howard. Go yourself, with them, to the war, and T will go, as 1 can take care of the sick, or make lint for the wounded; this Government must be preserved. Your forefather was of Revolutionary stock, and the country must live.' My father also added that he hoped to live long enough to see tlie Rebellion crushed, when he would be DKSCKNDANTH OF WII,I,IAM — SIXTH OKNKHATION. 121 willinj? to die. Ho wanted to feol that h« had loft a country imtorii by civil war, and as it was designed by the fouiulers of the republic. A brain went into the war as private secretary to Gen. Gilmore, and died in Cliarleston, of yellow fever. Charley wa ■ in both battles of Tiull Run, and Howard sent a substitute." This is a wortliy record of a patriotic, family, and shows the true spirit that animated the herotw of Seventy-six. 1^ r» Jan. 24, 1849 1057 Florence, Mch. 11. 1851 1058 Ann Eliza, Jan. 26, 1853 Mch.

Woodbury Was the son-in-law of Benjamin A. Jarvis of Cheshire, Conn. His wife's name was Ann Augusta Jarvis; and tlie following is an abbreviated statement of the services of this diistinguished soldier in the Union army during the Rebellion. On the 14th of Decemlier, 1863, while principal of the academy at Derby, Vermont, he enlisted for three years, as a })rivate, in Company E, First Vermont Cavalry. On January 21, 1SG4, lie joined his regiment in camp at Stevens- burg, Virginia, where he found, among tlio officers, scn'cral of his old college friends and classmates, but as lie had a disabled liaud, from a felon, he was prevented from joining (Jeneral Kilpatrick in his famous raid around Richmond.

On the niglit of the 3d of May, at 12 midnight, the regiment broke camp and started upon what proved to be the longest and most obstinately contested campaign of the war. General Grant had recently joined the armv of the Potomac, though General Meade remained in immediate command. At sunrise, on the 4th of May, 18G4, the army forded tlie Bapidan, and at 2 p.m. were fired upon by the scouts and pickets of the enemy, who were soon driven back to " Mine Run." 'Jliis ended the first day of this campaign. On the following day, at 3 a.m., the terrible "Battle of the Wilderness " began, and during the carnages of that fierce conflict, he was in the hottest of the fight, while his comrades were falling around him. The cavalry were often dismounted, and obliged to fight on foot, like the infantry. Near " Mine Run " the enemy cliarged suddenly and in foi'ce upon the Union army, which some- what disordered and scattered the Union troops, but quickly rally- ing, the cavalry were dismounted, and went into the fight on foot. During this engagement, and as Private Woodbury was kneeling behind a fence, a riflivball struck the rail, piercing it so far as to be partly seen, and throwing dust and small splinters into his face. He partially moved to oiu; side to give a comrade i)la(!e, who, in a moment, was shot in the left temple, and fell dead at liis side. On another occasion, standing behind a small tree about six inches in diameter, a rifle-ball struck it breast high, when he hastily sought a safer shelter. About 2 p.m. th(! cavalry nMuounted, charging upon the enemy, when th(!y fell back. Woodbury's horse was shot under him, and in falling, plimged ht^adlong, throwing his rider over his neck into the bushes. He immediately (extricated himself from his perilous condition, and made his way to one of the Union batteries. On his way, he stooped t(j drink from a small ]»r()()k, when a shell, falling within eight feet of him, quickened his flight, without quencliing his thirst. On reaching the battery, which was just moving oif, he fortunately mounted another hoi'se, whose rider had been killed, and, as he expressed it, " Richard was himself again." In this day's fight, the division to which he belonged was worsted. At 9 p.m. he lay down upon the ground, behind his horse, thankful that he was spai-ed from the perils of the battle. In the morning of the 9th of May, 1864, his regiment cut loose from the main army, and went on a raid, under the lead of Gen- eral Sheridan. They passed Fredericksburg about 10 a.m., and DESCENDANta OF WILLIAM — SIXTH GENEUATION. 130 '7.
