The foregoing in relation to the derivation, significance, and orthography of the Allison name, together with the copi- ous extracts from the adiiiirable work o^ H^xiry Brougham Guppy, and quotations from otlier able writers, taken in con- nection with the following chapter — " The Scotch-Irish : Who Were They?" — shows conclusively the blood to which the Scotch Allisons belonged who lived in Scotland, then in Ire- land and England, and later in America. They were Scotch always, and of the Anglo-Saxon-Norman race. So many of these Allisons originated in Scotland, then emigrated to the province of Ulster in Ireland, and removed later to the United States and Canada, that it is appropriate that a fuller account of their origin, blood, and race should be given in order to correct misaj^prehension in relation to the term Scotch-Irish. It is applied to a people wholly of Scotch blood. Important facts are included in the following chapter, "The Scotch-Irish: Who Were They?" CHAPTER n. THE SCOTCH-IKISH — WHO WERE THEY?^ Many centuries had passed in the building of the Scottish as in the building of the English nation ; in each, different peoples helped to make the completed nation, and in blood they were substfintially the same. Tlie blending of these races in Scotland, and the sharp stamping of religious and politic^;! ideas, had developed and made the Scotch race a ulGtiijctive and sharply defined people ; in their intellectual, mental, and moral characteristics different from all others a century before, and as we find them at the time of their set- tlement in the Emerald Isle. Thus they have still remained since their settlement in Ireland. They were Scotch in all their characteristics, though dwelling upon Irish soil. This fact has sriven rise to the supposition by some and the asser- tion by others — to whom the wish was father to the state- ment — that in the veins of the Scotch-Irish flowed com- mingled the blood of the stalwart Scotch and the blood of the Celtic-Irish. Never was mistake greater. Hon. Charles H. Bell, ex-governor of New Hampshire, in his eloquent address at the celebration of the one hundred and fiftieth anniverbarv of the settlement of the Londonderry (N. H.) Colony, in 1869, said of the term " Scotch-Irish " : " It is not inappropriate, as descriptive of their origin and prior abode, though it has given rise to not a little misappre- hension. It has been supposed by some writers that the name denotes a mixed nationality of Scotch and Irish descent; and in order to adapt the facts to their theory, they have fancied that they could detect in the Londonderry settlers the traits derived from each ancestry. But history fails to bear out the ingenious hypothesis ; for it is certain that there was no mixture of blood in the little band who cast thpv- fortunes here ; they were of Scottish lineage, pure and sim- ple." •From AmonR the Scotch-Irish; and A Tour In .Seven Countries, with History of Dinsmoor Family, by Leonard Allison Morrison, A. M. Pub- lisl rd 1891: Dainrell, Upham & Co., Boston, Mass. 10 THE SCOTCH-miSH — WHO WERE THEY? The Scotch-Irish were people of Scottish lineage who dwelt upon Irish soil. The locality about Coleraine, Aghadowey, and Crocken- dolge, and in fact in many places in the province of Ulster, Ireland, is inhabited by people almost wholly of Scotch origin. They are the " Scotch-Irish," i. «., Scotch people living upon or born upon Irish soil, but not mixed with the native people. Their ancestors, some of them, came to Ireland nearly two hundred and fifty years ago. They came in a body, they kept in a body, and they remain in a body, or class by them- selves, largely to-day. The Scotch are called clannish, and were clannish; and the Scotch who settled in Ireland, and their descendants, were clannish. They stuck together, and kept aloof from the native Celtic-Irish. They were sundered by the sharp dividing lines of religious faith and by keen differences of race. Macaulay says : " They sprang from different stocks. They spoke different languages. They had different national char- acters, as strongly opposed as any two national characters in Europe. They were in widely different stages of civiliza- tion. Between two such populations there could be little sympathy, and centuries of calamities and wrongs had gen- erated a strong antipathy. The relation in which the minor- ity stood to the majority resembled the relation in which the followers of William the Conqueror stood to the Saxon churls, or the relation in which the followers of Cortez stood to the Indians of Mexico. The appellation of Irish was then given exclusively to the Celts, and to those families which, though not of Celtic origin, had in the course cf ages degen- erated into Celtic manners. These people, probably about a million in number, had, with few exceptions, adhered to the Church of Rome. Among them resided about two hundred thousand colonists, proud of their Saxon blood and of their Protestant faith."! And again, in speaking of the early Scotch and English settlers, he says : " One half of the settlers belonged to the Established Church and the other half were Dissenters. But in Ireland Scot and Southron were strongly bound together by their common Saxon origin ; Churchman and Presbyterian were strongly bound together by their common Protestantism. All the colonists had a common language and a common pecuniary interest. They were surrounded by common ene- mies, and coulf' be safe only by means of common precau- tious and exertions." ^ > Macanlay's History of England. STATEMENT OP MACAXJLAY. 11 In speaking of the differences between the races, he says : "Much, however, must still have been left to the healing influence of time. The native race would still have had to learn from the colonists industry and forethought, the arts of civilized life, and the language of England. There could not be equality between men who lived in houses and men who lived in sties ; between men who were fed on bread and men who were fed on potatoes ; between men who spoke the noble tongue of great philosophers and poets and men who, with perverted pride, boasted that they could not writhe their mouths into chattering such a jargon as that in which the 'Advancement of Learning' and the 'Paradise Lost' were written." ^ And again, speaking of Scotland, from which the Scotch of Ireland came, he says : " The population of Scotland, with the exception of the Celtic tribes, which were thinly scattered over the Hebrides and over the mountainous shjj-es, was of the same blood with the population of England, and spoke a tongue which did not differ from the pnrest English more than the dialects of Somersetshire and Lancastershire differ from each other." ^ Such being the relative condition of the two classes, as elo- quently described by the great English historian, it is the height of absurdity to claim that the blood of the distinct races was commingled except in isolated cases. They did not commingle. The Scotch, planted upon Irish soil, were Scotch still, and the Irish were Irisli still. The Scotch took their language with them, and the dialect of the Lowlands fell upon the startled air and disturbed the mists arising from the peat-fields of the Emerald Isle. Their dialect lived in Ireland, was transplanted to American shores, and in all the New Hampshire and American settlements was understood and spoken for more than a hundred years after their settle- ment upon American soil. Letters were written in it; and many poems by Robert Dinsmoor, " The Rustic Bard," in a printed volume, are written in the Lowland-Scotch dialect. Though it has now almost entirely disappeared, being sup- planted by the purer English tongue, yet I have heard the rich brogue in the Scotch settlement in New Hampshire, and in the older Scotch settlements in Ireland, and know numer- ous families in New Hampshire, of Scotch blood, who since their coming to tliese shores one hundred and seventy-five years ago have not intermarried save with j)eonle of the same race, and they are of as pi-re Scotch blood and descent as 'Macaulay'8 Ilistuiy of England. 12 THEIR GLORIOUS ACHIEVEMENTS. can be fonnd in the Fatherland. The sterling traits of char- acter of the Scotch in Ireland, their frugality, tenacity of purpose, indomitable will, must ever be an honor to their character. Their glorious achievements upon American soil vv^ill ever add lustre to their name, and the mighty men produced of this race in all parts of the American Union will give enduring fame to that Scotch race, pure and unmixed, which, through great tribulation, passed in mighty phalanxes from Scotland to Ireland, there recruited its strength, and then swept across the stormy Atlantic into the American wilderness, subdued forests, founded mighty states, and has been foremost in the onward march of civilization. They are proud to stand alone. Scotch in blood, living or born upon Ireland's soil, the honor is theirs, and theirs alone, and none can deprive them of their glorious fame ! Rev. John S. Macintosh, D. D., in an eloquent historical address at the Scotch-Ii-ish Congress, at Columbia, Tenn.,^ in 1889, says of the Scotch and the Scotch-Irish : " Peculiar and roj'al race ; yes, that indeed is our race ! I shrink not from magnifying ray house and blood with a deep thanksgiving to that Almighty God who himself made us to differ, and sent His great messenger to fit us for our earth- task, — task as peculiar and royal as is the race itself. I shame me not because of the Lov/land thistle and the Ulster gorse, of the Covenanter's banner or the Ulsterman's pike. If we be not the very peculiar people, we Scotch-Irish are a most peculiar people, who have ever left our own broad, dis- ' Lovers of the Scotch race, whether living in Scotland, Australia, Ire- land, the Uniti'd States, or ('aiinda, will find much of interest on "The Scotch-Irish in America," and in Europe, in tlie published "Proceedings of tlie Scotch-Irish Congresses," — + vols.

They are both of the very Scotch, "WE 'be no eebish, but scoatch." u Scotch. To this very hour, in the remoter and more un- changed parts of Antrim and Down, the country-folk will tell you: 'We're no Eerish, but Scoatch.' All their folk- lore, all their tales, their traditions, their songs, their poetry, their heroes and heroines, and their home-speech, is of the oldest Lowland types and times." In continuation of this subject, I will say, that in the Scotch settlements of New Hampshire, after a residence of one hundred and seventy-five years, there are families of as pure Scotch lineage as can be found in the Scotch settle- ments of Ireland or in the interior of the Scottish Lowlands. In no instance since their coming to America have they inter- married with any save those of Scottish blood. They retain in a marked degree the mental characteristics of the race ; there are the same lofty adherence to principle, the same pride of race, the same tenacity of purpose, the same manifestations of unbending and inflexible will-power and devotion to duty, as were shown by their forefathers at the "Siege of Derry," or by their Covenanting ancestors, who, among the moors, the glens, and the cold mountains of Scotland, amid sufferings numberless, upheld loftily the ban- ner of the Cross, while some sealed their deathless devotion to the faith of their souls by sacrificing the bright red blood of their hearts. In my veins flows, equally commingled, the blood of Scot and Puritan; but I speak what I do know, and declare, with all the force and emphasis which language is capable of expressing, that after many years of careful his- torical and genealogical research, relating to Scotch-American families; after tracing them from America to the Emerald Isle, thence across the narrow belt of sea to the Fatherland, Scotland ; that only in exceptional cases has there been an intermixture by marriage of the Scot with the Irish Celt. I am somewhat familiar with the Scotch settlements in Ulster, have met and talked and am acquainted with many of her people of Scotch descent, and thei/ declare with par- ticular emphasis that the mixture of Scot and Irish Celt has been of the slightest kind. The love of Scotchmen, and the descendants of Scotch- men, in Ulster and elsewhere for the Fatherland and its his- tory is phenomenal, and in America has existed for genera- tions. It is as sweet, as strong, and enduring as that of Burns for the object of his affections as expressed in the fol- lowing lines, and which all of our race can apply to Scot- land: i m iH 16 LINES FROM BURNS.

The family of Alison is of very old date (583 years') in the parish of Avondale, county of Lanark, Scotland, where they live in 1893. " Macalister, the name of a clan that inhabited the South of Knapdale and the North of Kintyre in Argyleshire. They are traced to Alister or Alexander, a son of Angus Mor, of the clan Donald. Exposed to the encroachments of the Camp- bells, their principal possessions became, ere long, absorbed by different branches of that powerful clan ; clan badge, the five-leafed heather. The chief of this sept of the Macdonalds is Somerville Macalester of Loupe in Kintyre and Kennox in Ayrshire. In 1805, Charles Somerville Macalester, Esq., of Loupe, assumed the name and arms of Somerville in addition to his own, in right of his wife, Janet Somerville, inheritrix of the entailed estate of Kennox, whom he had married in 1792."! The Highland name of the Alisons was Alester, or McAles- ter, and was changed into the Lowland name Alison when this branch of the family was driven from Loupe, near Oban, in Argyleshire by the followers of King Robert the Bruce. '• From their descent from Alexander (Macalester), eldest son of Angus Mor, Lord of the Isles and Kintyre in 1284, the grandson of Somerled, the thane of Argyle, the Macalesters claim to be the representatives, after MacDonell, of Glengarry, of the ancient lords of the Isles, as heirs male of Donald, grandson of Somerled." ^ Alexander MacAlister, of Loupe, last mentioned, took the side of Baliol, the competitor for the Scottish throne, and was attacked by King Robert the Bruce in his chief Castle Sweyn in Knapdale. This was not a great distance from Oban. He was overcome, compelled to Hee, was taken pris- oner on his way to Ayrshire, was confined in the Dundonald Castle, where he died in 1309. This castle is in parish of Dundonald, Ayrshire, four miles from Prestwick, four miles 1 Anderson's Scottish Nation, Vol. 2, p. 708. ii 18 OltlGINAL HOME OF THE ALISONS. from Kilmarnock, and seven from Ayr. His two sons and a few of tlieir followers escaped to Sir Winter de Hamelton, the ancestor of the dukes of this name, who also at first took the side of Baliol. To preserve them from the wrath of the followers of Bruce, Sir Winter de Hamelton placed them in a moorish district in the i)arish of Avondale, in Lanarkshire, with Cairnduff as their central home, and changed their name from the Highland Alister to the Lowland Alison. This was in 1310, or uie Allisons were in Cairnduff in that year. The estate of Cairnduff was then the property of John Hamilton, a relative of the Hamilton family ; so that the MacAlesters, or Alisons, were placed on that portion of the estate that required to be reclaimed from the moors and waste lands around. There they have continued for 583 years, and at the present day a great many of the farms or small estates in that neighborhood are owned by Alisons, and the wildernesf' has now become to a great extent a fruitful field. The original estate of Loupe, near Oban, was confiscated and given to the crown, but was later conferred upon Alexan- der MacAlister's younger brother, Angus Oig, who remained faithful to Bruce. There the clan has retained the ancient name of McAlester to the present day, and the chief of the clan is now Lieutenant-colonel Charles Somerville McAlister, of Kennox, in Ayrshire. Some of the descendants of Alex- ander McAlister, of Loupe, who died in Dundonald Castle in 1309, are still to be found in Ayrshire. When King Robert the Bruce landed in Ayrshire he drank of a well in Prestvvick, which is called "Prince's Well" at the present day, and was greatly recovered of a cutaneous disease like to leprosy, of which, however, he ultimately died. The very ruins of the PrestWick hospital for lepers are still to be seen. In consequence of his betterness, he conferred freedoms on all the families that were in Prestwick. Free- doms which originally consisted of sixteen acres of land. Hence, in the old charter conferred by King Robert the Bruce, various of the thirty-six freemen were of the name of Alison, doubtless followers of their master, who died in Dun- donald Castle, which is nigh at hand. It is even maintained that a large portion of the lands in the south of Aj'r was given to this clan ; but in consequence of the commotions of those eventful times, those lands have long since passed into the possession of the well-known fam- ily of Kennedy, of whom the Marquis of Ailsa is chief. It was John MacAlister, the second son of Alexander MacAlister, of Loupe, that was placed with a few of his fol- THE PAKI8H OF AVONDALE. 19 lowers in the estate of Cairnduff in Avondale. For a con- siderable time there we have no authentic history on which to depend to continue our account of the Alisons of Cairn- d\iff ; but, according to the traditions of the family, the estate was owned by a John Alison and an Alexander Alison almost alternately ; the Johns being named after the Johns of the Isles, their ancestors, and the Alexanders after their great progenitor, Alexander MacAlister of Loupe. But, although history is silent for a little, yet again during the eventful times of Charles the First, the Alisons of Cairnduff gradu- ally came into historical notice. THE PAUISH OF AVONDALE OK STRATHAVEN — THE ORIGI- NAL HOME OF THE ALISONS IN 1310. c[uence s have n fam- xander lis fol- My informant says, — "The parish of Avondale is situ- ated in the Middle Ward of Lanarkshire. Its greatest length is fourteen miles and its greatest breadth is eight miles. It is nearly sixty-four square miles in extent, and contains about 32,000 acres. It is bounded by the following parishes, viz. : Kilbride, Glassford, Stonehouse, Lesmaha- gow, Muirkirk, London, Galston, and Sorn." In the days of Bruce and Baliol the Bairds were the most powerful family in Avondale, but, taking the side of Baliol, they were rooted out by the followers of Bruce. After the Bairds, several ancient families succeeded in holding important positions in the parish, such as the Craw- fords, the Sinclairs, the Stewarts, the Murrays, and the Douglasses ; but gradually these have disappeared, and now the Hamilton family are the largest proprietors in the parish. There is perhaps, however, no district in Scotland where the land is divided more abundantly among its farmers, and these are called Lairds in Scotland. During these early times of commotion, Avondale could boast of three lords called by this name. The first Lord Avondale was an Andrew Stewart, who married into the Hamelton family and became the Lord Chancellor of Scot- land. The second Lord Avondale was his nephew. Sir Andrew Stewart, and the third Lord Avondale was his son Andrew. With him the title ceased, till it was revived in the name of the late heir to the British throne who was called the " Duke of Clarence and Avondale." m 20 m !' i ' DESCENT OF THE ALISONH. THE ALISONS IN NEWTON OF AYR. Near to Prestwick, is Newton, although it is now a part of Ayr Town, yet, in the day of Bruce and of Baliol it was a village containing forty-eight families. The well still known as Bruces well was at that time very much in the centre hetween Prestwick and Newton, so that Newton shared of the same privileges which Bruce conferred upon Prestwick. At the present day there are still forty-eight freedoms that were conferred upon the forty-eight familie? then resident in Newton. At that time there were several Alisons in this place, as well as in Prestwick, who had freedoms conferred upon them, evidently the followers also of Alexander of Loupe, who died in Dundonald Castle in 1309, a castle which is nigh at hand. But such are the changes that are con- stantly occurring in hrnnan society, that none are now left remaining; the only remembrance of the fact is the same name given to a street, a quarry, and a park in the village. The present inhabitants still remember Alison's Park and Alison's Quarry, although the park and the quarry have been gradually absorbed by that street which is still called by the name of Alison. A recapitulation in tabular form is as follows : Somerled (which is the same as the Gallic name Sovnhairle and the Hebrew name Samuel), Thane of Argyle and Lord of the Isles, married in 1135 a daughter of the King of Man, and had three sons ; namely : Dugahl, who obtained possession of tlie islands of Mull, Coll, and Jura. From him are the McDugalds of Lorn or Argyle. lie had a son Ewen, or John, but he died, and his isles went to his brother Ronald, or Reginald, the second son of Somerled.

From him are tlie McCroyes of Scottish history. AngusMore, son of Donald, son of Ronald or Reginald, son of Somer- led, had two sons, — Alexander or Alister, (see below.) Angus. The latter in those troublous times rcm.ained faithful to Robert the Bruce, and on him were conferred the lands of his brotlier which were confiscated. He became the head of the MacAlisters, and his descendants are often mentioned in Scottish history. ' Allison and Alison are often employed by families nearly related a* synonomous. In the Martyr's roll, Edinburgh, the name is spelled Alisoui.-. THE ESTATE OF CAIRNDUFF. 21 And to elaborate this subject more fully I will say, — Alister, or Alexander of Loupe, the elder of the two sons of AngusMore (Donald, lionald or Reginald, Somerled), mar- ried a daughter of John or Ewen of Lorn, but joined the Lord of Lorn against Robert the Bruce. He surrendered to the king, and died a prisoner in Dundonald Castle, Ayrshire, in 1809. He had several sons. His second son, John Mac- Alister, with a few followers, fled to Sir Winter de Hamilton of Hamilton. He and they were placed in Cairnduff, Avon- dale, where his name was changed from the Highland Alister to the Lowland name Alison. He was settled in Cairnduff, Avondale, in 1310. Upon this estate one could have walked for five miles. From 1310 to 1630, or thereabouts, there is but little reliable information. But in the Covenanting timea we find from published documents that there were Alisons on the farms previously mentioned, and the Alisons of Cairn- duff gradually came into historical prominence. About 1630 these Alisons became greatly dispersed, caused by the perse- cutions of Charles the First, the intolerance of Archbishop Laud, the introduction of the English Liturgy into the Scot- tish Church, and the formation of the Solemn League and Covenant, with the attending consequences. After James VI of Scotland fell heir to the English throne and was accepted as king under the title of James I, the Presbyterian Church became unpopular with the Royal Court. During his reign and that of the Charleses that succeeded him. the great design of Parliament was to abolish Presby- terianism in Scotland and establish Prelacy in its stead. By making the religions of England and Scotland the same they imagined that they would unite the two countries more closely together. So oppressively did they push this meas- ure that a revolution took place and Cr()mwell seized the reins of government, and so conquered the Royalists that he was crowned as Protector of Great Britain. During the reign of the Charleses the whole Scottish nation was greatly moved, and was often on the brink of revolution. This was more especially the case in Avondale and many of the sur- rounding parishes. It was about 1630 that the Alisons of Cairnduff in Avondale \'ere disturbed in their homes. It was then that the threatenings of Archbishop Laud and his coadjutors began to be realized. It was then that William and Michael Alison escaped to England and found their way to America, the land of the Pilgrim Fathers It was then that Thomas Alison, when a mere youth, went to the sea as a sailor, and in 1645 sailed to America in the ship called • \ 22 PERSECUTIONS OF THE ALISONS. '!T::'i i M! ! Adventure.^ It was then that Cairnduff, the original seat of the Alisons, passed from them to the Cochranes, Mungo Cochrane having married an Alison, the owner of the estate. After the death of Cromwell, his son Richard succeeded, but soon after he was compelled to abdicate, and Charles II, who had fled to the continent, returned again in 1660. Then, if persecution existed before, i* was increased ten fold now. The acts he soon after passed testify to the severity of his reign. By the Corporation act every individual who did not conform to the religion of the state was dismissed from his olfice, whether civil o" sacred. By the Uniformity act 2,000 ministers in England and 400 in Scotland were ejected from their churches and condemned as rebels to the state. By the Conventicle act the Puritans of England and the Covenant- ers of Scotland were forbidden to assemble in the house or in the field under the penalty of death. Then it was that Claverhouse scoured the moors and mountains of Scotland, slaying with his sword or shooting with his gun all who refused to abjure the Covenant and take the oath of alle- giance. These acts awakened a painful commotion in Avon- dale and surrounding parishes, where the adherents of the Solemn League and Covenant were numerous and powerful. It was in 1664 that a considerable number in Avondale, Kil- bride, and Carmunock were banished from their parishes. Among these were James Alison and Archibald Alison, pre- viously of Cairnduff. They refused to attend the Prelatic Church and otherwise aroused the indignation of the curates, hence they were expelled from the parish of Avondale. James Alison escaped to Renfrewshire, and became proprietor of a farm called Kerrs, in the parish of Lochwinnoch. This James Alison remained faithful to the Covenant in his new home. In reading Crookshank's " History of the Church of Scot- land," we find this James Alison, along with forty others, compelled to walk through wind and snow to Stirling, where they were in i^risoned. We find the very same parties sent to the Canoii. ate prison, in Edinburgh, and after a mock > Michael Alison and William Alison went to England to escape to America, that was tiien described as the "Land of Freedom." The otiier brother that followed in 1645 was Thomas Alison. He was born about the time the others left Scotland; but ho left America, went to Archangel, and tliere under the government of Russia commenced a voyag(! to explore the North Pole. His journal of every day was pub- lished in lOiK). He describes his visit to the Northern seas, but ulti- mately lie reached the 71st degree of north latitude. He had numerous Scotchmen for companions, and his voy.ige was finished In 1(5!)7. He was then an old man, and for thirty-eight years had followed the seas. THE ALISON MARTYRS. 23 trial condemned and consigned to the prison in Dunottar Castle. After remaining there for a time, this James Alison returned to his home and farm in Kerrs of Lochwinnoch. He is supposed to be the ancestor of a considerable number of Alisons that still reside in Paisle}', Langbank, and Mearns, in the county of Renfrew. "The other Alison alluded to, and brother of James, was Archibald Alison. He, along with a few others, was banished to Elgin, whilst others were sent to Inverness and other northern counties. This Archibald Alison and his exiled companions did not cease to adhere to their adopted princi- ples, for we find in Crookshank's ' History of the Church of Scotland' that Bishop Ross, in whose diocese they lived, wrote Archbishop Sharpe of St. Andrews to the effect " that these Covenanting exiles expelled from the south were doing more harm in the north than they could possibly do in their own homes, and begged of him to recall them that they might spread the contagion no further." It was a daughter of the same Archibald Alison, one Isabel Alison, that was seized at Perth, when residing at St. Johnston's there, and was condemned and executed in the Grass Market of Edinburgh merely for conversing with rebels such as Don- ald Cargil and Hackston of Rathillet, and for adhering to the Solemn League and Covenant. Hence Archibald Alison of Windyedge, who was taken prisoner at Airsmoss and suffered martyrdom the same year, was a cousin of Isabel Alison. And it is not a little remarkable to notice that in the Roll of Martyrs still kept in Edinburgh there are only four or five names between them. They were separated from each other in life because of their faithtul adherence to Christ's crown and covenant, but in death they were not separate, for they died at the same place, for the same cause, and in the same year; and now through union to the same Redeemer they are together before the throne, where there are neither curses nor crosses, sins nor sorrows, griefs nor graves, but where they have met to part no more." From Elgin, Archibald Alison is supposed to have come southward to Perth and afterward settled in Forfairshire. But although there was a scattering of the Alisons of Cairnduff during these persecuting times, yet there was a gradual extension of them in the neighborhood around. For in the days of the Covenanters that soon followed, we find in historical reminiscences one in Goslington in the Parish of Lesmahagow, another in Muirhead, a farm in Avon- dale, County Lanark; a third in Cvewburn, in Avondale; a n 24 FAMILIAR NAMES. ! 11 i :i I 1' ' f I II I fourth in Bent in Avondale; a fifth in Allarstocks, in Avon- dale ; and some as far west as Cessnock, Cumnock, and Ochiltree, in Ayrshire ; all of whom are mentioned as suffer- ers for their faithfulness to the Covenanting cause. Even Cairnduff itself passed from Alison to Cochrane, because the female proprietor of the estate from 1620 to 1630 married M ungo Cochrane, a son of Cochrane of the Craig.^ Cairnduff was then and is now divided into a great many farms, and in 1893 a Cochrane lives on one of them. The Cochrans of Cray and Brownside claim to be the oldest family in Avondale, and the name is still very common. The Cochranes and the Alisons of Avondale are well known to each other still, and have been for three hundred years.^ The history of the Alisons now becomes transferred from Cairnduff to Windyedge, which was one of the farms belong- ing to the original estate of Cairnduff. Windyedge, in Avondale. County Lanark included then the farms of Windy- edge, Couplaw, Heuk, and Heuklaw, all of which in 1893 belong to Alisons, together with the farms of Muirhead, Latham, and Blackmoss. It was there that Sir Robert Ham- ilton, Balfour of Burleigh, Hackstone of Rathellet, Brown- lee of Torfoot, and several others met after the victory of Drumcloy, to consult as to their future procedure. It was then that they resolved to continue the fortunes of war which ended in their sad discomfiture at the battle of Both- » That same Miingo Cochrane is frequently mentioned in these perse- cuting times as a zealous Covenanter. * In tracing tlie history of the Alisons of Cairnduff, it is an interesting fact to notice tlieir allied families. The Alisons came from the McAllis- ters, and are united by marriage with the Cochranes, the Morrisons, the Steelcs, the Jiamiesons : most of these families are reproduced in the Scotch settlement of Aghadowey, county of Iiondonderry, Ireland, and all are duplicated in the Scotch settlements of Londonderry, and Wind- ham, New Hampshire, United States. We have seen that Michael Alison rted to Londonderry, Ireland, after the fight at Airsmoss, Scot- land, where ho remained many years, and left several children. The fam- ily of McKeen, tlie Morrisons, and tlie Alisons, and otliers of Agadowey and adjacent parishes, settled there about the same time, and for the same cause, and later came to Londonderry, and Windham, N. H. In the latter settlements are the McAlisters with their kinsmen, the Alisons, with the Morrisons, the Cochranes, tlie Steeles, the •Jamesons, and tlie Wilsons, with many of the .Scotch families with the same christian names wliicli are found in the Scotcli settlements of Pennsylvania and in the states farther soutli, found also in the Scotch settlements in Ireland, and tracing them again across the narrow belt of sea to the fatherland, Scotland, wc lind them there in the old homes. All are of the same blood, with the same characteristics, and all are Scotch still. They are not yet weaned from " the land of brown heath and shaggy wood," although more than two centuries have passed since their ancestors Hcd from persecution there. RETREAT OF CLAVERHOUSE. 26 well Bridge. Annie Swan in one of her novels called " Adam Hepburn's Vow," alludes to Windyedge as their place of meeting, and in " Old Mortality," by Sir Walter Scott, we find that it was there that Graham of Claverhouse obtained refreshments as he fled from his defeat at Drumcloy, and received them, too, from a widow who had three sons engaged in the battle. In the account given of the engage- ment at Drumcloy, Archibald Alison is mentioned by name, the same that was seized as a prisoner at Airsmoss, and suf- fered martyrdom at the Grass Market in Edinburgh, and whose dying testimonj' is recorded at great length in the volume called " The Cloud of Witnesses. In a letter, dated Oct. 8, 1892, my informant says, — " I think almost all the Alisons of Scotland and Ireland are de- scendants of Cainiduff Alisons planted there in 1310." In Scott, it is Lord Evandale who is mentioned as the per- son who received refreshments, yet the traditions of the Alisons say it was Claverhouse, and although two of her sons are only said to have been at Drumcloy, yet three were with the Covenanters at the time, namely, John Alison banished to Virginia, Michael Alison of Londonderry, Ire., and Archi- bald Alison, the martyr. On the farm of Kilwakening, owned by Matthew Alison, 1893, occurred some incidents connected with the Covenant- ing times, which are worthy of notice. On this farm was killed the horse of the notorious Claverhor.se, and where he narrowly escaped. At the head of Capernaum Park there is a bush planted on the spot where a small cottage once stood called by this name. It is about a mile from the battlefield of Drumcloy, where Claverhouse retreated with his men. He was passing this little cottage where sf^veral of the Cove- nanters were standing, who, seeing Claverhouse, wounded his horse with a scythe, hoping thereby to capture the defeated persecutor, but the horse continued to run for two hundred yards, and fell at the garden of Kilwakening. Claverhouse instantly dismounted his trumpeter, and mounted his horse and continued his flight. By Sir Walter Scott, the trumpeter is described as fleeing away on foot through the Gill and Beemosa, marshy places where cavalry could not go, but localities now drained and made fertile, though still known by these names. In en- deavoring to join the retreating army of Claverhouse he came upon the Covenanting victors returning from the pursuit, and there near the house of Joseph Alison of Hillhead, in Avondale, Lanarkshire, he was killed and buried, while over !i;|! .i:;! 26 ARCHIBALD ALISON. his remains a heap of stones is still to be seen, and nigh to the grave there is a rich spring of water which is well known at tlie present day as " the Trumpeter's well." ^ AutiiiHALD Alison. It is believed by many tlxat this Archibald Alison was the grandfather of another Alison who became a successful mer- chant in Edinburgh, and was elected Lord Provost of the city. From him an illustrious race of Alisons are descended, viz., the Rev. Dr. Ali- son, of Edinburgh, author of the well known treatise on "Taste;" and from the reverend author of "Taste" have sprung Dr. Alison, of Edin- burgh, of medical fame, and Sheriff Alison, of Olasgow, the historian, whose son is the present General Sir Archibald Alison of Crimean renown. Although we cannot vouch for the correctness of this connection, yot here we add the following extract of that branch of the Alisons from the volume called the "Scottish Nation." Alison is the name of a family possessing a baronetcy of the United Kingdom, conferred in 1852 on Sir Archibald Alison, LL. D., D. C. L., F. R. S. He was born at Kinley, Salop, on the 29th of December, 1792. His father, the Rev. Archibald Alison, author of "Essays on Taste," waa a scion of tlie family of Alison of Newhall, in the parish of Kettens, in Forfarshire. By the mother's side, he is descended lineally from Edward I and Robert the Bruce. Sir Archibald Alison was educated at the University of Edinburgh, and admitted an advocate in 1814. He was advocate depute from 1828 to 1830. He was appointed Sheriff of Lanarkshire in 1835. The following works issued from his pen: Principles of the Criminal Law of Scotland, 1832.

Tlie estate of Loupe was confiscated by the crown, but was afterward restored to the younger brother. His descendants long continued to be chiefs of the McAllister clan, and some of them instead of espousinfj the Covenanting cause, fought on the side of Claverhouse at Killiecrankie and finally fell at the battle of the Boyne." THE ANCIENT ALISON HOME. 2T The following is also an extract from the " Scottish Nation," upon the Rev. A rchibalcl Alison, D. D. : The reverend author of "Essays on the Nature and Principles of Taste" was the second son of a magistrate of Edinburgh, and sometime lord provost of tlio city, where he was born in 1757. In 1772 he went to the University of Glasgow, and afterwards became an exhibitioner at Baliol college, Oxford, where he took the degrees of A. M. and LL. B. Entering into Holy Orders, he obtained the curacy of Brancepeth, coimty of Durham, and was subsequently made prebendarv of Sarum. Having acquired the friendship of the late Sir William Pul- teney, he was indeoted to him for preferment in the church. In 1784 he married, at Edinburgh, the eldest daughter of the celebrated Dr. John Gregory, by whom he hacl six children. In 1800, on the Invitation of Sir William Forbes, baronet, and the ves- try of the Episcopal chapel, Cowgate, Edinburgh, he became senior min- ister of that place of worship. The congregation having removed to St. Paul's churcli, York place, in the same city, he continued to officiate there until a severe illness in 18;^! compelled fiim to relinquish all public duties. He was one of the early Fellows of the Royal Society of Edin- burgh, and the intimate friend of many of its most distinguished mem- bers. He was also a Fellow of the Royal Society of London. His prin- cipal work, the " Essays on the Nature and Principles of Taste," pub- lished in 1790, has passed through several editions, and was translated into French. He died on the 17th of May, 1839. His works are, — Essay on the Nature and Principles of Taste, 1790. A Discourse on the Fast Day, 1809. A Thanksgiving Sermon, 1814. Sermons, chiefly on particular occasions, 1814. Life and Writings of the Hon. Alexander Eraser Tytler, Lord Wood- houselee, 1818. Rev.

Dr. Alison, of Edinburgh, Scotland, and his brother, Arthur Ali- son, the advocate, are from Eagles Law, next parish to Avondale, and probable descendants of an early Alison who went to Paisley. ALISONS OF AVONDALE, SCOTLAND. 1. James Alison^ is the first ancestor of this immediate branch of the Alisons at Cairnduff, Avondale, county of Lanark, Scotland, whose Christian name is definitely known, after the family again emerged into- historic prominence. The name of liis father is not known, but it was probably John or Alexander Alison, as those Christian names seemed to alternately prevail during the long historical obscurity in which the Alisons rested. James Alison was born at Cairnduff in 1621. and resided on the farm at Windyedge, wiiere he died about 1670. He married Jean, daughter of Samuel VV^ilson, of Rigfoot, East Kilbride. She survived her husband, and it was from his cottage at Windyedge that the notorious Claverhouse, the persecutor of the Covenanters, received refreshments while on his flight, after his defeat at the battle of Drumcloy, in 1679. The date of his death is unknown. 28 JOHN ALISON — THE EXILED COVENANTER. «. CHILDREN BOKN AT WINDYEDOE, SCOTLAND. Jean Alison*, m. James Torrance.

Lesmahagow, county of Lanark, Scotland. ilMi 7. John Alison- [3 -., ">n^). He was born, in 1652, at Windyedge, which wa" . ui the farms belonging to the original estate of Cairnduff, in Avondale, county of Lanark, Scotland. With his ' >vt brothers, Michael and Archibald Alison, he was a stiff ar«d 'ou Cc v^enanter, and fought at Bothwell Bridge, where the CoveiiUntovs were sorely defeated. He was one of the 1,200 prisoners taken ; was tried at Edin- burgh, and banished to Virginia in America. His name is recorded in the well known Porteous Roll, a roll which con- tained the names of the criminals who were imprisoned in those days, most of whom were pious Covenanters. After his term of exile came to an end, he joined the settlement of the Pilgrim Fathers in Massachusetts, and there was consid- erable communication between him and his friends in Avon- dale, for they were accustomed to hear that the heat in Vir- ginia was so great that people could boil an egg upon the sand, and how, in New England, they had to climb trees to escape from the wild beasts ; how they were caught in gin set for deer; how the Indians formed their houses by bend- ing branches and matting them over like an arbor; how their graves were filled with bows and arrows and other instru- ments of warfare ; and how they caused the forests to reecho by the discharge of their muskets. These and many such reminiscences have been handed down from father to son among the relatives who remained in Scotland, to the present time. His sword is still in the possession of his relative, William Allison, of Hawbank, East Kilbride, near Strathavon, county of Lanark, Scotland. H Mr. Alison left any descendants in America, they are unknown to the relatives in Scotland. 8. Michael Alison'^ [4] (Jumes^). He was born at Win- AUCHAEL ALISON, THE COVENANTER. 29 dyedge, Scotland, in 1654. This was a part of the original estate of Cairnduff, in Avondale, Lanarkshire, Scotland. Like his brothers and family, he was a zealous and enthu- siastic Covenanter, and battled bravely for his religious faith. With his brothers, Archibald and John Alison, he was in the battles at Drumcloy, Bothwell Bridge, and at the skir- n'ish at Airsmoss, and participated in the siege of London- derry, Ireland, in 1688-'89. At the skirmish at Airsmoss, where his brother, Archibald Alison, was taken prisoner, he fled so quickly that he reached Port Patrick and crossed over to Ireland before the news of the disaster to the Cov- enanters reached the Irish shore. Although he was ques- tioned severely by their enemies, yet he escaped suspicion, and resided many years in the neighborhood of Londonderry, and was present at the famous siege in 1688-89. He either leased or bought a farm near Londonderry, for there he married and had a large family. From 1681 to the Restoration in 1690, the lands of Windyedge, his old home, and many others, were forfeited in consequence of their pro- prietors joining in so-called treasonable rising of Bothwell Bridge. So long as this decree of the Lords of Justiciary remained, Michael Alison could not return to Windyedge, where his widowed mother was still living. At the Restora- tion, after the battle of the Boyne, he returned to Windy- edge with four members of his family, and the other mem- bers of his large family of children remained in or near Lon- donderry. He seems to have gone back and forth consid- erably between his two homes, living a part of the time at Windyedge and sometimes in Londonderry. He died at Windyedge and was buried in the burying-place of the fam- ily in Strathavon church-yard, leaving his eldest son, James Alison, the laird of the farm. Michael Alison's wife was Elizabeth Cooper, and the initials of her name, E. C, were engraved into the lintel of the old house at Windyedge. Mr. Alison married his own cousin for his second wife, and had a large family. The sword of Michael Alison, with which he fought at Drumcloy. Bothwell Bridge, Airsmoss, and the siege of Lon- donderry, is still in existence, a precious memento, and is in the possession of Rev. George Alison, of Kilbarchan.

Thomas Alison, on June 14, 1679, had tickets granted to him from Barbadoes, for Jamaica, in the ship John% Adventure^ Edward Winslow, commander. Thomas Allison came from Windsor, Conn., and settled in Deerfield, Mass. ; was constable in 1692; called shoemaker that year, and trader in 1711 ; sold his home lot there in 1711 to Rev. John Williams. Thomas Allison was an inhab- itant of Colchester, Mass., in 1713, — perhaps the Thomas of Deerfield. Joseph Allison was a resident of Southold, Long Island, N. Y., in 1721, and was in Goshen, N. Y., in 1726. Thomas Allison, of Deerfield, Mass., lived at Wapping in 1710, and in his old age was cared for by the town. John Allison, of Deerfield, Mass., 1698 ; married, Aug. 4, 1698, Alice, daughter of George Jeffries, who died Dec. 31, 1730, aged 61 years. No children in 1704. He was em- ployed in 1712 to sweep the meeting-house. — Sheldon^s His- tory of Deerfield^ Mass. William Allison was of Windsor previous to 1700. Samuel Allison came from the county of Londonderry, Ireland, to America in 1718, and to Londonderry, N. H., in 1719.

ALLISONS AND ELLISONS. 41 ELLISON. Under the name of Ellison appears the following, and it may have a material bearing upon the history of the Allison family : From John C. Hotten's lists of emigrants to America, 1600-1700 : John Ellison, living at Anchor's Hope, Jame: City, Vir- ginia, came in the Prosperous in 1623. Ellen, his wife, came in the Charitie. George Ellison, a child, died at Anchor's Hope, Virginia, in 1623. William Ellison, servant, aged 44 ; at Elizabeth City, 1624; came in the Swan. The first settlers of Virginia were largely of English descent. From the Suffolk county, Mass., unpublished records : On Sept. 4, 1664, John Ellisoww gave a receipt to Robert Willis. On March 25, 1698, Mary Ellison and others sold property. Those who spell this name Ellison appear to have come entirely from England. The larger part of those who spell their name Allison are from Scotland or the Scotch settle- ments in Ireland. The names Ellison and Allison in America have been con- fused sometimes through the carelessness or ignorance of early transcribers, or by the choice of persons who bore them in later days. Some of those who spelled theirs JS/llison have changed it to -4llison. Never, to ray knowledge, has a single Allison or his descendants changed the orthography of his name to Allison. iiUI CHAPTER Y. Samuel Allison, of Londoxdeury, N. H., and His Descendants FKOM 1690 TO 185)3, INCLUDING THOSE IN THE FAMILIES OF At- wooD, Holmes, McAfee, Moore, Morrison, Shepard, Stinson, AND OTHER NAMES. ALLISONS OF NEW HAMPSHIKE. The ancient residents liatl heroic souls. They "conquered wood and savage, frost and flame, and made us wliat we are." 1. Samuel Allison,^ of sturdy form and Presbyterian faith, was the progenitor of the Allisons of New Hampshire, the honored founder of their house. He was of Scotch blood, a descendant, and probably a son of one of those men and one of those women of heroic mould who fled from reli- gious persecution in Covenanting times in Scotland, from the military and barbarous executions of Claverhouse, from other fierce and persecuting adherents of Catholicism and of the English Established Church, to the Plantation of Ulster in Ireland. These persecutions and the scattering of the Scot- tish Allisons are given in chapter 3, pp. 21-25. The speech of Mr. Allison, like that of "all his tribe," was the rich brogue of the Lowland Scotch dialect. His people took that with them from Scotland to Ireland, and he brought it to the new settlement in Londonderry, New Hampshire. He brought his Scotch traits of character with him, — frugality, industry, persistence, integrity, and elevation of sentiment and purpose. He was in the splendid strength of his young manhood when he settled in the Granite State. He was a member of a peerless company of emigrants who, with their descendants, helped to develop, mould, and fashion the laws and institutions of this state. All honor to that noble bandl Mr. Allison was born in 1690, probably in the parish of Aghadowey, county of Londonderry, Ireland, and in 1718 he with others accompanied Rev. James McGregor (who was pastor of that parish from 1701 to 1718) to America, and landed iii Boston in August of 1718. In the succeeding April he with others went to Nutfield, now Londonderry, N. H., where he was one of the first sixteen settlers, and one SAMUEL ALLISON, OF LONDONDERRY, N. H. 43 of the original grantjees of land, or those to whom the char- ter of the town was given June 22, 1722, so he is called Charter Samuel Allison, and many of the name in Vermont and Massachusetts, as well as nearly all in New Hampshire, are descended from him. Fourteen of the settlers of Londonderry, of which he was one, received a grant of five hundred and ninety -four acres of land, bounding on Corbett's Pond, in the Range, in that por- tion of Londonderry which is now Windham, on May 22, 1728. This Amendment land, which fell to Mr. Allison, he sold to Alexander Park, the emigrant ancestor of the Park family of Windham, Oct. 8, 1734, and it is, in 1893, the homestead farm of George Franklin Armstrong. In 1758 he and his only son signed a memorial asking the number of taverns to be restricted. His home farm was sit- uated about one half mile south-east of the church on the hill in East Derry, N. H., and between the farms of two other emigrants, John Morison and Thomas Steele. It is, in 1893, included iu the large and spacious farm of Col. George W. Lane. It was situated upon that elevated ridge and swell of land which can be seen from distant points. He married, in Ireland, Katherine Steele, presumably a sister of his neighbor, Thomas Steele, who had married Martha Mor- ison, a sister of John and James Morison, his neighbors. Upon that high elevation, commanding a magnificent view of the country for miles around, for many years Mr. Allison and these allied families lived in the closest intimacy and neighborly communion. There he and his wife died. His will was made Aug. 15, 1760, he being then very sick, and proven Sept. 10, 1760. Fac-simile of his autograph as shown in his will : The ancient cemetery on the hill in East Derry, near where the first church stood, is holy ground to descendants of the first settlers of Londonderry. Its memorial stones are very rich in historic and family lore. A few rods from the main entrance, on the north side of the principal walk and near thereto, Samuel Allison, and his wife, Katherine Steele, lie sleeping. Near them rest James and John Morison, Jus- tice James McKean, David Steele, Rev.

His home lot was in the English Range, near the west end of Beaver pond, and between the lots of Joseph Kidder and Benjamin Kid- der. Some of his descendants are supposed to be in Worcester county, Mass. There is a tradition in the Xew Hampshire family that there were three brothers of tlie name of Allison who landed in 1718. According to this authority, Samuel Allison located in Londonderry, N. H., while, later, his brotliers went to Jamestown, Va. One of them went to Savan- nah, Ga., and there died childless. The other remained in Jamestown, Va., and is th(% ancestor of many of the Allison name in Virginia, Ten- nessee, Kentucky, and Ohio. 1.

(now Derry), March 31, 1720, and was the first female child of European extrac- tion born in that town. She married Lieut. Samuel Mor- ison^ (son of James,'^ and grandson of John Morison^). He was born (in Aghadowey, Ireland, probably) in 1704 ; came to Londonderry, N. H., in 1719, and his early home was under the hill, on the farm owned by W. O. Noyes in 1893, and which was near the house of Martha Allison. They lived in Windham, on the Morison homestead now occupied by their great-grandson, where Mrs. Morison died in her comparative youth, Dec. 3, 1761. She was a person of good 46 MARTHA ALLISON, OF WINDHAM, N. H. i I mind and many lovable qualities. Mr. Morison was a lieu- tenant in actual service at Fort Cumberland, Nova Scotia, in 1760 ; an elder in the church, the first moderator, and on the first board of selectmen of Windham in 1743. He died Feb. 11, 1776, aged 72 years. In the ancient burial-place, at the head of Windham Range, near where the first church stood, and overlooking the clear, bright, sparkling waters of Corbett's pond, he and his dearly-loved wife, Martha Alli- son, rest together. The old headstones were nearly covered with moss, and time had nearly obliterated the record upon them. Albert A. Morrison, Esq., his great-grandson, who occupies the Morrison homestead in Windham, origiii„:c;d the plan of having a new monument erected to their memory, and was one of the efficient managers in carrying it into execution. So, on Dec. 19, 1892, the ancient headstones, which for more than a century had withstood the buffeting storms of winter and the blasting heat of summer, were taken out, and four stone posts, so as to be below the frost, were sunk into the ground four feet. Between them, and flat upon the ground, were placed the ancient stones, and covered with earth. On these firmly-planted posts was placed by their descendants a heavy, substantial monument of Concord granite. It was finished in the early part of 1893. On the base, in raised letters, is the name Morison. Above is this inscription : \ LIEUT. SAMUEL MORISON, Born in 1704; Died in Windham, Feb. 11, 1776. An inhabitant of two hemispheres, he became one of the Pioneers and Founders of Windham. A citizen of two governments; — a lieutenant in tlie French and Indian War, he was faitliful to his king; on the abolition of Royal authority, lie became an adherent of Popular Government. An elder in the Presbyterian church, he was a loyal subject of the King of kings. MARTHA ALLISON, His beloved wife, is here buried by his side. She was born March 31, 1720, being the first female child of European extraction born in London- derry, N. H. She died Dec. 3, 1761. They rest together till the day of the great awakening.

The name Allison occurs quite frequently among the Scotch-Irish who settled in the south-western part of Chester county, Pennsylvania, from 1718 to 1740, at about the same dates as the emigrations from the same localities in the north of Ireland occurred to New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and to Maine. (See Futhey & Cope's Hist, of Chester Co., Penn.) The surnames, with the same Christian names of the early Scotch-blooded settlers in New Hampshire, were often duplicated at the same dates in the Scotch settlements in Pennsylvania, and among them are Allison, Park, Morri- son, Cochran, Boyd, Dickey, McAllister, Stewart, Wilson, Mitchell, Steele, Campbell, and others. Nor is this strange wken we remember " that as early as 1718 no less than five vessels of immigrants from the north of Ireland arrived on the coast of New England, but, forbidden to land at Boston by the intolerant Puritans, the immigrants moved up the Kennebec and there settled. The winter of 1718-19 being one of unusual severity, the great majority of these settlers left the Kennebec and came overland into Pennsylvania, set- tling in Northampton county." — Letter of Wm. H. Egle, M. D., of Harrisburg, Penn., dated April 13, 1878. He is the author of the '' Illustrated History of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania," published in 1876. lit i 'if! .'o i ■ ' iV. 1 |!J ALLISONS OF ALLEN TOWNSHIP, PENN. 406. James Allison, Sr., in 1780, lived in the Scotch-Irish settlement of Allen towtiship, Northampton county, Penn., and was there taxed. He lived on the property owned a few years ago by Daniel Saegar. This settlement included Weaversville and the adjacent localities. In relation to this settlement. Rev. J. C. Clyde, D. D., in his "History of the Allen Township Presbyterian Church, Northampton County, Penn.," says, that "as early as 1717 [it was 1718] no less I 100 FRANCIS ALISON, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENN. than five vessels of immigrants from the north of Ireland arrived on the coast of New England, but forbidden to land at Boston by the intolerant Puritans, the emigrants moved up the Kennebec and there settled. The winter of 1717-18, being one of unusual severity, the great majority of these settlers left the Kennebec, and came overland into Pennsyl- vania, settling in Northampton county." (See p. 44, note to Samuel Allison, No. 1, of Londonderry, N. H.) It was at this very time that one portion of those emigrants went from the Kennebec, and founded the Scotch settlement of London- derry, N. H.

He removed to Ardmore, Montgomery county, Penn., Nov. 4, 1884; unmarried r resides at Ard- more, Penn. .•'V -'v 126 JAMES ALISON, OP PITTSBURGH, PENN. OTHER ALLISONS OP PENNSYLVANIA. Rev. James Allison, of Pittsburgh, Penn., in a personal let- ter, Dec. 17, 1890, says: "Part of the Allison family, to which I belong, went to Mecklenburg county. North Carolina, nearly one hundred and fifty years ago. Many of the descendants are still there (see sketch of Allisons of North Carolina, No. 579). Another part went to Virginia, and thence passed on into Indiana (see Allisons of Indiana, No. 463). One family of the part that went to North Carolina returned to Cecil county, Maryland, and afterwards removed to Washington county, Pennsylvania. One of its number (Hon. James Allison, No. 486), afterward going to Beaver county, Pennsylvania, served in the Eighteenth congress and was reelected to the Nineteenth, but declined on account of ill-health. The late Hon. John Allison, register of the United States Treasury, was his son (see sketches of Hon. James Allison, and of his son, Hon. John Allison, No. 486). The father of Hon. William B. Allison, United States senator from Iowa, removed from the Cumberland valley, Pennsyl- vania, to Bellafonta, Pennsylvania, and then to the Western Reserve, Ohio, where William B. Allison was born (see sketch of Hon. William B. Allison, No. 489). One of my grandfather's brothers went from the Cumberland valley to Erie, Pennsylvania, where his descendants still live (James Allison and his descendants of Lake Pleasant, Erie county, Pennsylvania, may be of this family. See notice of them, No. 490). Another went to Butler ; and my grandfather himself removed to the south side of the Monongahela river, near this city, in 1810, and afterward to a place ten miles north of this city, where he resided until his death." 460. James Allison * ( James,^ George,'^ Allison ^).^ Rev. James Allison was born in Pittsburgh, Penn., Sep- tember 27, 1823 ; married, August 6, 1851, Mary Jane, daughter of Robert Anderson, who was born in Lancaster county, Penn., and who lived in Washington, Washington county, and in Sewickley, Alleghany couniy, Penn. Mrs. Allison was born and died in the latter place. He married, second, November 6, 1855, Caroline, daughter of Hon. John M. Snowden. She was born in Pittsburgh, Penn. Mr. Alli- son graduated at Jefferson College, Penn., in the class of 1845, taking the first honor. He studied theology in the > He is the son of James and Elizabeth (Briukett) A llison, grandson of George and Susan (McRoberts) Allison, son of Allison, an emigrant from the north of Ireland, ALLISONS OF INDIANA. 127 Western Theological Seminary, Alleghany, Penn. In 1848 he took charge of the Presbyterian church at Sewickley, Penn., fourteen miles from Pittsburgh, where he continued to be pastor until 1864. During his pastorate the church had grown to be the strongest in the county outside of Pitts- burgh. In 1864 he resigned, and became editor and pro- prietor, in connection with the late Robert Patterson, of The ]Preshyterian Banner,, at Pittsburgh, of which from 1856 to 1861 he had been one of the editors and proprietors. This paper was started in Chillicothe, Ohio, July 6, 1814, — one of the very first religious newspapsrs of its kind, — and is very widely circulated. Mr. Allison is its editor in 1891. He was one of the original signers of the memorial on the sub- ject of the reunion between the old and new school Presby- terian churches in 1864, and was the author in 1868 of the platform by which the union was effected in 1869. Much of the time during the War of the Rebellion he was in the field with the Pennsylvania troops, though not a soldier. From 1865 to 1890 he served on the General Assembly's Board for Freedmen, acting as treasurer, without salary, from 1870 to 1889. CHILDUEN BORS IN SEWICKLEY, PENN. 461.

(From Charles Lanman's "Biographical Annals of the United States Government." The sketch of W. B. Allison is from Harper's Weekly, March 17, 1888). 489. Hon. William B. Allison,^ United States senator from Iowa. He was born in Perry, Wayne county, Ohio, March 2, 1829, and is the son of John Allison,^ who was born in. Belle- fonte (or its neighborhood), Peun., in 1798, and who re- moved to Ohio about 1824, and resided on a farm in Perry. John Allison^ was the son of Archibald Allison^, who migra- ted from the county of Monaghan, Ireland, in 1783, and settled in Centre county, Peun. Senator Allison spent his early years upon a farm and was educated at Allegheny college, Penn., and at Western Reserve college, Ohio. He studied liiw, and practiced in Ohio till 1857, Avhen he located in Dubuque, la., which has been his home since April, 1857. He began his public career when the war broke out as a member of the staff of the gov- ernor, and his first task was to aid in the organization of the volunteer regiments that were destined to serve in the War of the Rebellion. He was sent to congress while the war was going on, and has been representative and senator from that time to the present, except between 1871 and 1873, when he declined an election, so that he has participated in all the legislation that has been enacted during and since tlie great conflict. He has done his full shai-e in it all, and his impress is on the statutes which have framed and modified our fiscal and banking systems, our methods of taxation, as it was on the laws which gave to Mr. Lincoln the power to put down the rebellion, and which readjusted their relations to the Union of the once insurrectionary states. His biography is 9 ■1 ', ill; [it !l!i I II, I! Ill'' !lli 130 WILLIAM B. ALLISON, OF DUBUQUE, IOWA. part of the history of the times in which he has lived. Through them Mr. Allison has accurately represented the sentiments and opinions of his section and of his party. He has performed the duties imposed upon him with calmness and caution. He was one of the congressmen depended upon by the president and secretary of the treasury to devise ways and means needed for the support of the government. After the war he continued to be a radical Republican, always act- ing with his party, opposed to Johnson, and a believer in the reconstruction measures which were intended to revolutionize the political complexion of the conquered South, and to make the freedman a citizen and a voter. Senator Allison is one of the safe men of the Republican party. He is without passion, prejudice, or very strong friendships. He has not made the mistake, so common of recent years, of allying himself to a faction. He is not weak, nor a trimmer, nor a man of undecided views. It is not for any one of these qualities that he fails to make enemies ; it is because he is never carried away by the passions of the moment, but is so moved and dominated by his judgment that the public men who know him and have been associated with him realize that his action is always the result of his matured opinion. There are very few men who have been so long in public life as he who are so scrupulously devoted to their work. Men like him are oftener found in the British parliament, where tenure of place is more secure. Practically, Mr. Allison's tenure has been as strong as theirs, and his familiar- ity with the business of legislation is as accurate and thorough as that of the under-secretaries of the British cabinet. This is especially true of his acquaintance with fiscal matters. On his first entrance into congressional life he came to the front in the consideration of all questions affecting the treasury, the banks, and taxation. He was a member of the ways and means committee of the house of representatives very early, if we take into consideration the very large majority which his party had in congress at the time, and the number of able men in both houses. The reputation that he then made for himself for accurate information and sound judgment has not been lost. He has not been tempted to endeavor to shine in the discussion of other questions. He has been content to be easily the first authority on all bills relating to expen- ditures. Some of his short speeches have indicated that he might have been a leading debater on questions of constitu- tional law and on taxation and bank policy. So far as the '' WILLIAM B. ALLISON, OF DUBUQUE, IOWA. 131 J last two subjects are concerned, he has been prominent, and there are very few public men of his party whose opinions on all fiscal matters are more respected than Mr. Allison's ; but of recent years he has been chairman of the appropriations committee, and none but the most reckless undertake to question his statements of fact concerning the expenditures of the government. As chairman of the appropriations committee he has been of very important service to the cause of sound administra- tion. He is a wise economist. This means judicious lib- erality as opposed to an extravagant saving. The modern deficiency bill, and the urgency bill, which has only recently become one of the appropriation bills to be reckoned with at every session of congress, would not exist, or would involve inconsiderable amounts of money, if Mr. Allison's views about the regular and stated bills always prevailed. The chairman of the senate appropriations committee knows what each branch of the public service needs for its proper maintenance, and is willing to take the responsibility of advocating its appropriation. The spirit in which he performs this vital public function is directly opposed to that which moves very many members of congress, who do not appreciate their responsibilities to refuse appropriations, and thus lower the aggregate, when the refusal will not attract public attention and arouse popular protest. Not many years ago the mem- ber of the house committee who had charge of the diplomatic appropriation bill refused to allow the secretary of state any money for postage or cable charges, and thus threatened to cut off the state department from all correspondence with our representatives in foreign countries. This incident illus- trates the tendency and attitude of certain persons who seek to figure before the country as savers of the people's money, and who have wider reputations as economists than Mr. Allison ; but Mr. Allison is neither sordid nor extravagant. He does not advocate loose and unguarded expenditure, and he is always desirous that every department and division of the government shall have all that it needs. It is not exag- gerating to say that when he is ready to sign a report of his committee on an appropriation bill he knows as much of the requirements of the objects for which the proposed expendi- tures are to be made as the executive officer who is at the head of the department. And in all the years during which he has acted in his present capacity there has not been a whisper injuriously affecting his reputation. Mr. Allison's influence on general legislation has been felt n l;| I 182 WILLIAM B. ALLISON, OF DUBUQUE, IOWA. because he insists on having a reason for his votes. He is largely influenced by the feeling and opinions of his section of the country. This has made him an advocate of lower rates of tariff duties, an, 1870. 11^ 545.

Charles William Brandon Allison * [544] (William,^ Samuel,^ Robert^). He was son of Major William Allison and was born, Dec. 12, 1820, in Middletown, Dauphin county, Penn.; removed to Ohio in 1831. He was raised upon a farm ; was placed at hard work there, and later was a mechanic. During this time he attended the district school, and studied at night, preparing himself for his lifework. In 1839 he commenced the study of law, and was admitted to the bar in Columbus, O., in Dec, 1841. He formed a partner- ship with Hon. Augustus Hall, late member of congress from Iowa and chief justice of Nebraska, and later with Otway Curry. In 1851 he removed to Belief on taine, O., and formed a partnership with Congressman Benjamin Stanton. Was a Whig, and then a Republican, in politics. In May, 1862, he enlisted for three months in the army, and was made captain of Company E, Eighty-sixth regiment, Ohio volunteers, and a few days afterwards, was commissioned as colonel of the Eighty-fifth regiment Ohio volunteers, and his company was transferred to that regiment. In October, 1862, he was ap- pointed colonel of the rendezvous for drafted men at Camp Dennison, where he remained in command until that service was closed, Jan. 1, 1863. He was a member of the Ohio house of representatives convened January, 1864, and was chairman of the committee on military affairs, and a member of the judi- ciary committee. He was elected a member of the Ohio state senate, and was chosen its president. In 1866 he with Mr. Stanton opened an office in Wheeling, West Va., and removed there with their families April 1, 1867, where they carried on a most extensive and lucrative practice. Mr. Stanton died June 2, 1872. Mr. Allison continued in practice till his death, Dee. 5, 1876. He was a self-made man. He preferred to follow the convictions of his judgment rather than to act from considerations of policy. He had a discriminating and investigating mind, and ranked high as a lawyer. He mar- ried, Nov. 5, 1844, Sophronia, daughter of Dr. Elislia S. and Elizabeth Lee, of Marysville, O., who died Aug. 26, 1848. She was born in Knox county, O., Oct. 24, 1825. He mar- ried, second.

Allisons of North Carolina— Five Branches— Allisons of Glas- gow, Scotland, North Carolina, and Virginia.' Five brothers by name of Allison, born in Pennsylvania^ (one account says in Ireland), lived on the Yellowstone river in that state, and between 1760 and 1770, and before the War of the Revolution, they moved to North Carolina, while their brother, James Allison, remained in Pennsylvania. They were of that strong Scotch stock which went from Scot- land to Ireland, and later to Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, and the southern states, and who have been such magnificent builders of states and commonwealths. They settled in Iredell and Mecklenburgh counties, where the name to-day is very common. The names of these emigrants to North Carolina were: 579. William Allison^ (68G), who resides at Bethany Church, N. C. 580. John Allison,! married, first, a sister of Colonel Rich- ard Allison, of Iredell county, N. C. The relationship between them is not known. There was no issue by this marriage. He married a second time. 581. Polly Anderson,^ his daughter, married her cousin, 582. James Allison,^ son of Robert Allison.^ Mr. Allison lived at Poplar Tent, Mecklenburgh county, N. C. 583. George Allison,^ settled in Mecklenburgh or Iredell county, N. C. 584. Thomas Allison,^ born 1743, was never married. He was a school teacher of renown, and was widely known as "Master Allison." He died in Nov., 1811, aged 68 years. A sister of these five Allisons married a Mr. Todd, settled in Mecklenburgh, N. C, and their descendants live in that county today. 585.

He was born in Pennsylvania, and his people from Ireland, like all of the residents in Ulster, were weavers. He resided in Pennsylvania, removed to North Carolina with his brothers, and was one of the earliest settlers in Iredell county, and one of its first purchasers of land. He owned a plantation which has been in possession of his descendants for more than one hundred years. Residence at Bethany Church, N. C, where he died. "V 'i ''■'ii CllII-D. 587.

Graham, once gov- ernor of North Carolina, and candidate for vice-president of the United States on the ticket with General Winfield Scott, in 1852. Mrs. Allison was the aunt of Miss Graham, sister of Hon. William A.Graham, who married Rev. Hall Morrison, D. D., and one of their daughters married General D. H. Hill, and another married General Thomas J. Jackson, known as "Stonewall" Jackson.

He always declared that he would gladly have fought three years longer rather than to have let Great Brit- ain have one foot of ground in America. He was a fiery patriot and was ever ready to serve his country. He was a believer in a sound national currency that was worth one hundred cents on a dollar anywhere on earth. In 1840, by appointment, he met and spent a short time with Gen. W. H. Harrison, the Whig candidate for president, at Vincennes, In- diana. On July 4, 1840, he was present at the grand Whig rally at Rochefort, Mo., it being one of the largest political gatherings ever held in the state. There are said to have been 17 steamboats loaded with people who came to attend. Mr. Allison was a great friend and admirer of President Har- rison, and was greatly overcome when the news reached him in 1841 of the death of his old commander. He was a farmer, and a dealer in fat cattle and hogs. Was a Baptist. Was an uncompromising Whig. He took an active part in the election of General Harrison to the presidency in 1840.

Andrew Allison,^ of Scotch blood, lived at Church- minster, near Ballandreat, in the parish of Lifford, county of Donegal, Ireland. This parish is a few miles southwest of the city of Londonderry, on the border of the county of Tyrone, and in the province of Ulster, so noted for its settle- ment by Scotch and English colonists more than two centu- ries ago. Lord Lifford owns much landed • roperty at this place, and is its chief inhabitant. From the small railway station we can see on a high, ledgy adjacent hill a flagstaff, which is flagless when his lordship is absent, but from which a flag flutters in the breeze when his lordship is at home. In this locality lived Mr. Allison and his family.^ •Alexander Port'?r, of Churchminster, near Ballandreat, parish of Lif- ford, county of Donegal, Ireland, was of the Scotch Presbyterians, that strong, sturdy race, which leaves its imprint and influence on men and in- stitutions wherever planted.

He married, about 1798, Matilda, daughter of Alexan- der Porter, of Chnrchminster, near Ballandreat, parish of Lifford, Ireland ; who was some six years his junior. It is to be presumed that Mr. Allison was not fully satisfied with his home locality, nor with the prospect of reaping great harvests from the rocky and sterile soil of Lifford, for in his young manhood, somewhere about 1802, he settled in Hartsville, Tenn. He died at Carthage, Tenn., Sept. 29, 1818. He was a merchant. He organized the first lodge of Masons in that section, and was master of the lodge at his death. CHILDBGN. 851.

His son. Rev. James Porter, a Presbyterian clergyman, distinguished for his learning, ability, and zeal, was a patriot in the troubles of 1798, and was condemned to an ignominious death, and executed before his church door by the unjust ciecision of a court-martial. His two sons were cared for by his uncle in Tennessee. One became an able jurist in Louisiana. The other sons of Mr. Porter, of Lifford, were Alexander Porter, Robert Porter, and William Porter, who came to the United States in August, 1798, ^itn their sister, Mrs. Andrew Allison. Alexander first settled in Wilmington, Del., and finally in Nashville, Tenn., and was a successful merchant. He d. of Asiatic cholera, at Dresden, Tenn., in April, 1833.

From the latter evidently emigrated, in 1718, Samuel Allison, the progenitor of the New Hampshire Allisons, together with the first settlers of Londonderry, N.H. Limavady is a place of great antiquity, is well built, and has a population of several thousand. At Drumnaha, Magil- legan, Mr. John Allison was a prominent citizen, and died in 1736. He is buried in Magillegan, in the family burying- ground. This place is in county of Londonderry, about eight miles from Limavady, and situated in the angle made by the junction of Lough Foyle and the Atlantic ocean. There sev- eral generations of this family of Allisons are buried, and there their living connections, as well as being the connections of the numerous Allisons of this branch in Nova Scotia, are liv- ing in 1893.

He was born in Druinnaha, near Limavady, Ireland, about 1720, and when he reached manhood's estate, he rented a farm belonging to a London corporation, paying yearly rates, which were col- lected by an agent in Ireland. On one of these visits of the agent he was invited by Mr. Allison to dine with him. The best the house afforded was given to him as an honored guest. On that day silver spoons were used. Turning to Mr. Allison the agent said, — " I see that you can afford to have silver on your table. If you can afford this, you can afford to pay more rent. Your next year's rent will be increased.*' "I will pay no more rent," said Allison. "I will go to America first." The agent increased the rent, which Mr. Allison would not pay. He sold all his property, and, with his family and six children, in 1769 left the home of his fathers and the graves of his kindred, and embarked from Londonderry for the New AVorld, intending to land at Philadelphia. He had relatives in Pennsylvania with whom he had corresponded, who had urged him to come to them in that state and bring his family. Their names were Pollock, the children of Mrs. Allison by her first marriage; they settled in Pennsylvania about 1760. Their passage was rough, and the vessel was wrecked on Sable Island, and he and his family were taken to Halifax, Nova Scotia. It was then difhcult and expensive to journey from one section of the country to another. A few years previous to the arrival of Mr. Allison in Halifax, the French people had been most cruelly expelled from their Acadian homes, and their lands thrown open to settlement. Through the persuasion of Admiral Cochrane, then admiral on that 182 WILLIAM ALLISON, OF DRUMNAHA, IRELAND. coast and station, and by the liberal offers made to them by the autiiorities, these sturdy people of Scotch blood were in- duced to go in and occupy.

Nova Scotia, on the border of the historic Grand Prd, where he lived till his death in 1794. He was a Presbyterian, though many of his descendants have departed from the ancient faith, and belong to other denominations. He married in Limav- ady, county of Londonderry, Ireland, Mrs. Alice Polk (or Pollock) Caldwell, who survived him for several years. She gave the historic silver spoons to her youngest child, a daughter who lived to be ninety years old. They are now in the possession of her great-grandson. Hon. Leonard Shannon, of Halifax, N. S.

From 1769 to 1804 he lived in Horton, N. S., where he successfully conten- ded with all the privations and difficulties incident to a new settlement, and while there, and later in life, by great perse- verance, industry, frugality, and integrity, secured for him- self and family a respectable competency. In 1804, he re- moved to Newport, Hants county, N. S., which was his home the remainder of his life. He was a trader, and later on be- came one of the most successful farmers in Nova Scotia. He was a man of solid virtues, of good sense, excellent judg- ment, and a pleasant conversationalist. Being a magistrate, he exerted his powers oftentimes successfully for the settle- ment of differences. Brought up a Presbyterian, in his later years he was an active member of the Methodist church. He was a friend of God, and delighted in the duties of religion. For many years he represented Newport in the provincial parliament. By his efforts the Hants Branch Bible society was reorganized, and new life infused into the organization. This was his last public work. He told his family that the fear of death was past, and died in peace March 1, 1821, and went over the river to be reunited with many beloved friends, and to join "that great multitude which no man can num- ber." Mr. Allison married in 1779, Nancy, daughter of John Whidden, a leading magistrate in Cornwallis, Nova Scotia.^ 'John Whidden emigrated to Truro, N. S., with the New Hampsliire settlers in 1761.

In September, 1849, he was ordained to the ministry in Fredericton, New Brunswick. He afterward graduated as A. B. and A. M. at Syracuse University, N. Y., was pastor of the Methodist Episcopal church at Cornwallis, N. S., Wood- stock, N. B., St. John, N. B., and was principal of the Mount Allison Ladies' academy at Sackville, N.

B. .■J r 1219. David Allisons [1120] (James Whiflden,^ John*, Joseph,^ William,^ John^). Prof. Allison was born at New- port, Hants county. Nova Scotia, July 3, 1836. He was edu- cated at Halifax academy, and by a four years course at the academy at Sackville, N. B., where he took the highest stand as a student, at the Wesleyan university at Middletown, Conn., where he pursued his collegiate course and graduated in 1859 at the head of a large and brilliant class. For a short time he taught at Stanstead, Quebec, then he returned to Sackville, N. B., and was a teacher of the classics in the acad- emy, and was made pr>fessor of the classics on the establish- ment of the college. In 1869 he succeeded Dr. Pickard in the presidency, which he resigned in 1878 to take the super- intendency of education for the province of Nova Scotia. That position he held until Oot. 31, 1891. He was reap- pointed president of the university at Sackville in June, 1891, and entered upon the duties of the position in November, 1 891. The eminent ability with which he filled these various posi- tions furnishes an ample guaranty that there lies before him, as president of Mount Allison university for the second time, an administration of a most satisfactory nature. Among the accepted and cherished traditions of that college are his excep- tional capacity as an instructor, and his power to impress him- self for good on the heads and hearts of those under his charge and influen •^, As a classical scholar he has rare acquirements, and is noted for broad and tolerant views on matters of ecclesiastical and political dispute. His power as a preacher must not be omitted in enumerating the elements which go to make up his educational and life record. Stu- dents are unanimous in speaking with admiration of the manly, thoughtful, and weighty discourses which strongly impressed the hearts of his hearers, and often turned in the right direction forever some young career that might, but for those pregnant words, have ended in a lamentable failure. Many there are that for these sermons alone, can say to him, " It is better with me, it shall be better with me, because I have known you." In the history of this branch of the Alli- son family he has taken a deep and decided interest and fur- nished much information to the author which is gratefully acknowledged. He received the degree of A. B. and A. M. from Wesleyan university, Middletown, Conn., and of LL. D. from Victoria university, Coburg, Ontario, in 1871. He married, June 18, 1862, Elizabeth Powell of New Brunswick, a lady well qualified to grace the various circles in which her husband's various positions have called her to move.

THE ALLISONS OF ORANGE COUNTY, NEW YORK. The name appears in the records both as Allison and Elli- son. Three Allisons, Joseph Allison, John Allison, and Richard Allison, settled in Orange county, N. Y. The first mentioned appeared early at Southold, Long Island, N. Y. He and the others may have come directly from the old world, as Southold was a port of entry, and diligent search might fail to reveal his place of origin ; or they may have landed in New England, and emigrated later to New York ; or, possibly, they may have been offshoots of some Allison or Ellison family given in this book, but where the connecting lines have not been discovered. The similarity of Christian names would argue in favor of the latter proposition. On the other hand, there is a tradition in the family that Joseph Allison came from or near Edinburgh, Scotland. Dil- igent search has been made, in many offices, books, records, and places, for some clue to their earlier history and for their ancestry, but nothing has been found, and probably nothing more will ever be ascertained than what is given in this book. These Allisons were probably brothers. 1281. Joseph Allison,^ about 1720, was at Southold, Long Island, N. Y., and was a resident there in 1721. He is called "yeoman" in various deeds. In 1725 or 1726 he went to the town of Goshen, Orange county, as one of the first settlers, having previously purchased a large tract of land. In the patent this purchase was called " the Allison tract," and has since been known by that name, is so desig- nated in the Wawayanda patent, and is among the richest lands in the county. The home of Mr. Allison was in Goshen, where he lived till his death in 1755. He made his will in 1752, which is recorded in the surrogate's office in His daughters, Christian names not follows: one daughter married Mr. son, William Allison McNeal f another left a son, William Allison Ed- married Mr. Jones, and left a New York, N. Y. given, married as McNeal, and left a married Mr. Edsall, and sail f the third daughter son, Micah Allison Jones.^ Mr. Allison left a money RICHARD ALLISON, OF WARWICK, N. Y. 209 legacy to his granddaughter, Mary Horton,^ with her moth- er's wearing apparel. Another legacy was to his grandson, Nathan Moore,^ who was not of age. He left legacies to Ann Thompson and Margaret Bradner. The following are the known Christian names of his children : CHILDREN. 1282. Elizabeth Allison,' not of age Oct. 17, 1752. 1283.

He was, for that period, a very wealthy farmer and land-owner, and resided on the Drowned Lands, Goshen, Orange county, N. Y. On April 20, 1777, he was a delegate from Orange county, to a convention which met at Kingston to frame the constitution of New York. He was patriotic, and during the Revolutionary War did valiant service as an officer. He was then colonel of the militia, and commanded an Orange County regiment. Forts Clinton and Montgomery were important strongholds on the Hudson river, and garrisoned by the American troops. The British desired free passage over the Hudson's waters. From early spring till late in the fall the militia had been often summoned to the defence of the forts. In September, 1777, Col. William Allison (with other regimental commanders) was ordered to summon his regiment to the defence of Fort Montgomery. The minute men assembled, but not in sufficient numbers. Only a por- tion of his regiment was present. Thus matters stood on Sunday, Oct. 5, 1777. Then the Sabbath's stillness was dis- turbed by excited people, who heralded the approach of the enemy's ships on the Hudson for the attack upon the strong- holds. On the day following (Oct. 6, 1777) the attack was made by overpowering numbers, and after a stubborn resist- ance the Americans were defeated with loss. Colonel Alli- son was taken prisoner, and his son, Micah Allison, was 1^ .?1v m :tii RICHAIIDSOX ALLISON, OF GOSHEN, N. Y. 211 killed.^ For several months he was a prisoner on board a prison ship, and was exchanged during the following winter. On his return to his home he brought to Governor Clinton two thousand dollars in gold, in aid of the American cause, loaned by a ])atviotic citizen of Long Island. He com- manded a division of the troops in the IJattle of Long Island. In the early history of Orange county he was the most dis- tinguished citizen and a prominent military leader. He was a member of the first provincial convention of New York from 177o to 1777. On April 4, 178-2, William Alli- son was brigadier general in the brigade formed by Allison's, Woodhull's, and Hathorne's regiments; state senator from 1783 to 178G; member of the assembly in 1795, and was judge of the court of common pleas. He married Mary Jackson, and died in 1804. He and his wife are buried opposite his old home on Drowned Lands, in Goshen, N. Y. CHILDREN. 1308. Micah Allison.'

There are many of the name in Switzeiiand, who ''hum to be able to trace their descent back to the twelfth century, and theorize that before that date the Elmers came from Italy or Greece. In lOOO Elmer, a person of great sanctity, was chosen abbot of the monastery of St. Augustine, at Canterbury, England, and in 1022 was made bishop of Sherburn.e. After tlie Norman conquest, in 1016, Elmer, one of the chiefs of William the Conqueror, was holder of several pieces of land, one of which was at Braintice Hundred, county of Essex, England, from thirty to forty miles east of London. .John Elmer was a bishop of London in the time of Queen Elizabeth. Representatives of the family are in different countries. Alfred Elmero, a distinguished artist, was a member of the Royal Academy, and died a few years since. MARY ALLISON, OF GOSHEN, N. Y. 213 N.

Y., where he and his wife lived and where they are buried. Dr. Elmer was the son of Dr. Nathaniel Elmer, Sr., and his wife, Ann Thompson. Dr. Nathaniel is said to have been "remarkably humorous." Dr. William Elmer was always a companionable man ; was cheerful, and pleas- ant in his manners, and had a large vein of natural humor. Of Mrs. Elmer, his wife, her daughter, Sarah Maria, said, — " She was a kind, affectionate, selMenying mother, a woman of most coiTect principles and habits, a decided Christian as was also my father." He and his family were Presbyterians. CKii'.DBEX BOBN IN GOSHEN, N. Y. 1-1 111 1327. 1328. 1329. 1330. Micah Allison Elmer* (139S)), b.

Edward Elmer, the emigrant ancestor of this American family, was a oung man, probably not married, when he left England. He was a 'u.itan, and left England to escape the persecution to which that sect W.1S subjected, as did those who came with him. It is probable that he came from tl)e county of Essex, as did many of his fellow-passengers, and likely from Braintree, where Kev. Thomas Hooker preached before he came to New England. He with 123 passengers came in the ship Lion, which arrived in Boston, Mass., Sept. 16, 1032, having been twelve weeks on the ship and eight weeks from " Land's End.'' He settled first at Newton, now Cambridge, Mass., with Kev. Thomas Hooker and the others, and in June, 16;J5, he, with Mr. Hooker and his congregation, removed to Hartford, Corn., where he settled. Later he removed to Northampton, Mass., and returned to Hartford. He owned a farm at South Windsor, Conn., where he was killed by the Indians during King Philip's War, in 1676. A part of his farm is still owned by his descen- dant, Samuel E. Elmore, of Hartford, Conn. The emigrant, Edward Elmer, married Mary .

While there a messmate gave him his powder horn, still most carefully preserved, and (in 1893) in the possession of his great-granddaughter, Mrs. Sarah (Vail) Divers, of Middletown, N. Y. It is an interesting and hand- some relic of that war. Upon it is beautifully engraved a picture of the fort with the surrounding houses and the church steeple of a village. It bears this inscription (fac-simile): PETEUMNORBER MABE 'AT f OUT STAN- WIX ■NOVEMBER HE While Mr. Allison was in the army, his wife and family were at home, in charge of the farm during his absence. Often during that trying period the Indians came to the home of Mrs. Allison. She treated them with kindness, gave them food, won their good will, and their assurance, that to her and hers, no harm should come from them. He married Mary Davis, whose brother, Benjamin Davis, lived near the Allison homestead, near Amity, Orange county, N. Y. Mount Adam and Mount Eve rear their summits near this old home. Mr. Allison lived on the homestead. He was of medium stature, of light complexion with blue eyes and dark hair. Following rigidly the style of those early years, he did not change with the changing fashion, but ISAAC ALLISON, OF WARWICK, N. Y. 217 wore his hair, which was at least two feet in length, hraided, and tied up with a ribbon, into a cue. This style he fol- lowed till his death. The land he owned was extensive. He sold portions to Nathan Furman, Timothy Roe, Jed Sears, and John Gardner. He then gave his son Isaac a farm, and had enough land remaining for himself. In his time there was no church edifice in Amity, and he attended public worship in a school-house. He died in 1825, and is buried in the family burying ground, near the old farm-house. This cemetery, which forms part of a knoll, contains about three fourths of an acre, which, with the road leading to it, is still the property of the Allisons. Mrs. Allison was a very energetic woman. After the death of her husband, she removed to Ohio with her children, died there, and is buried in Newark, or Norwalk, Ohio. CHILDREN. 1384.

Y., where he graduated in May, 1874, and was licensed to preach by the Hudson, N. Y., Pres- bytery, April 21, 1876. During his senior year in the sem- inary he preached in Yonkers, N. Y., and also after his graduation. On April 21, 1879, he assisted in the organiza- tion of the Dayspring Presbyterian church in Yonkers, and was ordained and installed over that church by the West- chester presbytery April 30, 1879. n f i '■ i '!i I. i. I CHARLES ELMER ALLISON, OF YONKEBS, N. Y. 289 Mr. Allison is a member of the Greek letter college frater- nity, Delta Kappa Epsilon, of the presbytery of West Chester, N. Y., of which he was moderator in 1886, the Pastor's asso- ciation of New York, N. Y., the Soldiers' and Sailors' Men- ument association of Yonkers, the Historical society of Yonkers, the Westchester county Historical society, and president of the Yonkers Clerical association in 1892. Hia favorite studies have been belles-lettres, theology, and the principles of persuasive public speech. The Yonkers Dailff Herald^ Dec. 9th, 1891, has the following : Rev. Dr. Cole said on Tuesday evening, in accepting the gift of a oostlj oil portrait from the citizens of Yonkers, that they could not have se- lected a more acceptable presenter than the Rev. Charles E. Allison; and we fully endorse the doctor's remarks. Unboundedlv popular with Tonkers audiences, both young and old, and wonderfully adapted to the demands of public speech, ue could not have been surpassed e^ the orator of the occasion. His long companionship with the doctor iu that ministry of which both are such wortiiy examplars, gave him opportu- nities that a stranger could not have embraced, and the emblematic eloquence of his oration was rendered doubly impressive by the tender sentiment that characterized the speaker. It was a beautiful address, and will be long remembered by those who were privileged to hear it. For the press he is a frequent contributor, and is the author of the " History of Hamilton College." In politics Mr. Allison is a Prohibitionist, and is *'a zealous ancl active laborer in the temperance cause, and has given to it his time and talents. He takes the high ground that the Bible and the ballot are the two best weapons for the overthrow of intemperance, and his published utterances indicate that he is fixed in purpose and strong in faith in the prayers and final triumph of temperance through moral and legal means." (From the recent work, "Church and Sunday-School Work in Yonkers, N. Y.," by Agnes E. Kirkwood.) Rev. David Cole, D. D., of Yonkers, N. Y., said, in a his- torical sketch of that city, — " During his ministry in Yon- kers Mr. Allison has been a most active, zealous, and popular minister, and a most effective and successful worker. In the pulpit he is clear, direct, and impressive. All his sermons are warm and magnetic. He is a close student apd a good thinker. And above all, he is noted for a kind heart and for a profound interest in all that belongs to the higher needs of the people. Too much cannot be said for his devotion to his work and its useful results to his own church and the city. He is always ready to respond to the calls for service, and is especially acceptable as a reader and speaker in every social gathering that may be held." The flashes of wit and 240 JAMES ALLISON, OF GOSHEN, N. Y. glow of humor which brighten his addresses increase his pop- ularity as a speaker. A specimen of his oratory is an ora- tion, entitled, "The Monument's Message," which he deliv- ered to a great audience in Music Hall, Yonkers-on-the-Hud- son, on Memorial Day. It was published in full in the daily papers of that city. May 31, 1893. In this " History of the Allison Family," Rev. Mr. Allison has taken a deep and active interest, from the moment that he knew the work was in progress to its consummation, and I am greatly indebted for facts of interest and for aid, espe- cially in the preparation of the history of his own branch of the family. He is unmarried. Resides at Yonkers, N. Y. GOSHEN, N. Y., KECORDS. This information is taken from the oldest personal records of the First Presbyterian church of Goshen, Orange county, N. Y. The first entry is dated Dec, 1773. These records are in the possession of Charles G. Elliott, Esq., of Goshen, who is a descendant in the seventh generation from Elliott, the early missionary to the Indians. The Goshen church was organized evidently as early as 1721, but the early records were probably burned, as well as the town records, as they are not to be found.

REFERENCES FROM THE COLONIAL HISTORY OF NEW YORK. From that interesting work published by the state of New York, entitled " Documents Relative to Colonial History of the State of New York," procured in Holland, England, and France by John Roraeyer Broadhead, Esq., agent of the legis- lature to procure and transcribe documents in Europe rela- tive to the colonial history of the state, and edited by E. B. O'Callaghan, M. D., LL. D., the following references are taken : On Sept. 3, 1664, Sir Robert Carr, at Fort James in New York, was ordered to subdue tlie Dutch at Fort Delaware. The fort was stormed and captured Oct. 13, 1664. He reported to Colonel Nichols, and re- questecf him to send liim two men, whoso services he needed, in these words, — " Lett mee begg ye favor of you to send Mr. Allison and Mr. Thompson, the one to ye reedifvingof the fort, ye other to fix our arms." —Vol. Ill, p. 74. The Christian name of Mr. Allison is not given. A number of loyal citizens of New York city, adherents of King Will- iam (Prince of Orange) and his wife. Queen Mary (New York was then an English province), drew up a document declarmg their abhorrence to illegal proceedings of certain men in the province.

From the latter work a great deal of my information has, with the permission of the author, been obtained and transcribed. * From the fact tliat some of the Hempstead colonists came from York- shire, £ng., and from the custom of spelling the name Ellison and Alli- son interchangeably, and from knowledge that some of the Allisons in this book originated from Halifax, Yorksliire, Eng. (see No, 920). where Jtev, Richard Denton officiated before coming to America, and ids set- tlement at Hempstead, N.

The record of the births of his children appears upon the Braintree records, showing that he was a resident there from 1645 to as late a date as 1660, and that he appears upon the Hempstead records in 1663. The name of his wife, " Thamasin," appears on the records of Braintree, and the same is mentioned in his will. In 1663 he was of Mad Nan's Neck, L. I., a strip of land which was granted that same year to his brothers, John and Thomas Ellison, and Thomas Hicks. In 1673 he was taxed in Hempstead on sixty acres of land. Land was allotted to him in 1677, and the same year more was allotted to him on Hempstead Plains ; he was living there in 1682. He made his will Feb. 14, 1680, which is recorded in the surrogate's office in New York city. This was proven June 13, 1688, showing that he died between those dates. In that instrument he gave " unto my loving and well-beloved wife, Tamisen Elison, ten pounds," also the "bed with its furni- ture she now Lyeth on ; " to his son John he gave one hun- dred and fifty acres of land and "one hors; to his son Thomas he gave twenty-two acres ; and he remembered his sons-in-law, Jonathan Smith and Joshua Jannock.

In 1676 he was chosen overseer. He was granted four acres of land, for whicli he was required to furnish the town with two gallons of rum to drink. At a public meeting in Hempstead, in 1677, land was given to him, and also land on Hempstead Plains. In 1678 he was chosen constable and real estate valuator.

On March 17, 1715, as appears from the records of Queen's county, Long Island, New York, he con- veyed land in Hempstead, and signed his name Richard Elli- son, but his name was written Richard Allison in the body of the deed, He was called JUison by the witnesses and was indexed Allison. He probably emigrated to Monmouth county, N. J., shortly afterward, as it appears from the records of that county previous to 1804, which are in the sec- retary of state's office in Trenton, N. J.

The subject of this sketch was the immediate founder of the family of Allisons, which for a number of generations, and a numerous race, have lived, acted life's part, and slept within the soil of Haverstraw, Rockland county. New York. Mr. Allist;n was born in Hempstead, Long Island, N. Y., and was one of the company that purchased the north part of the Kakiat patent of land in Orange county, the portion which is now in Rockland county, in the year 1719, on which they founded the settlement of New Hempstead, now Ramapo. He became owner of the greater part of De Hart's patent, which included the present townships of Haverstraw and Grassy Point in Orange county, now in Rockland county. In the strength of his manhood and in the hey-day of life, he, with his family, removed to New Hempstead and later to Haverstraw, and founded his home, which remained such till his death. His house stood on the bank of the sparkling Hudson river " on the west side of what is called Allison street and about eight rods north of Main street " in Haver- straw. (History of Rockland county.) From the knowledge we have of his business enterprises, he appears to have been a man of push and executive ability. In the history of Rock- land county he is called of the English settlers, i. e., of English descent. He died in 1754, between June 6, when his will was made, and Oct. 21, when it was proven in court. He was Srobably buried in the old cemetery on the " Neck " near the linisceongo creek, or in the old Allison burying-ground, some sixty rods east of the former home of Benjamin Allison. * 1^ i i. v'V i i 262 BENJAMIN ALLISON, OF HAVERSTRAW, N.

He divided his estate between his brothers and sis- ters, who were then all living, and left legacies to his friend, Phebe Hubs, and to her children, Richard Hubs and Hannah Hubs. These Hubses seem to have been inmates of his father's household, relationship, if any, not known. His father remem- » bered her by his will in 1754, and mentions her daughter, Pris- cilla Hubs.

The date of his birth is unknown. He resided in Haverstraw, N. Y., in a house built in 1754, of brown stone blocks, located at the meeting of two roads, the Grassy Point road and the old Ben- son road, and north of the First Presbyterian church about half a mile. It was standing in 1890 in fail* preservation, and was an interesting old-time relic. He received this land from his father, which originally belonged to Dick Crom and which included all the land lying between the Minisceongo creek and the Benson farm. His father left him besides, the south part of lot No. 7 in Haverstraw, which he in turn left to Hannah and Rebecca Allison, daughters of his son, Thomas Allison. He was patriotic, and exemplified his love for American free- dom, and hatred of British oppression, by furnishing, during the Revolutionary struggle, a large amount of supplies to Col- onel Hay and his men of the Continental forces, stationed at Haverstraw. The Continental bills with which he was paid proved, eventually, to be a total loss. He was twice married ; name of first wife is unknown.

Y., Dec. 13, 1760 or 1761, in the old Benjamin Allison brown stone house, situated at the junction of the Grassy Point and old Benson farm roads, and one half mile northeast of the First Presbyterian church. Here he lived, working at farm work for his father till the age of manhood. When fifteen years of age his father sent him on a perilous journey to General Washington's encampment, back of Newburg, with a bill for supplies furnished the Continental troops encamped at Haverstraw. On reaching Washington's tent he was overawed by the majestic bearing of the commander-in-chief. The general invited him in, received his message, and, put- ting his hand on the young man's head, commended his bravery and fidelity. When seventeen years of age he was enrolled as a "minute man," one liable to be called out for military duty at a minute's notice. While acting as team- ster, carrying supplies to the troops, he became well known at head-quarters. He was a volunteer at the taking of Stony Point. His portion of the trophies were a British cartridge- JOSEPH B. ELLISON, OF HAVERSTRAW, N. Y. 267 box and a bayonet. These relics are now in the possession of the Deiuarest branch of his descendants. He was of medium size, wiry, and active. From his father he received a large farm, and he married, and settled down to the duties of a farmer and the quarrying of brown stone. His home* stead, a large frame dwelling, with a kitchen extension on the end, was situated on the west side of Miniscongo creek, opposite to the spot where Peck's rolling mill now stands. This building was standing recently. Some years after the death of his wife he sold eight thou- sand dollars' worth of land, and divided the proceeds among his children. His son, Abraham, and his daughters, Catherine and Margaret, received land from him and aid in erecting their builoings, and all were situated adjoining each other on the mountain side of the road to Ramapo, beginning about one eighth of a mile beyond the Mount Repose cem- etery and running west. He gave to his son, Jonas Allison a place on the opposite side of this road and half a mile farther west, on the east side of the hill. The subject of this sketch spent the last years of his life in the homes of his children. He died Dec. 20, 1848, and the remains of himself and wife now repose in Mount Repose cemetery in Haver- straw, N. Y., and the place is marked by old brown head- stones in good preservation. Mr. Allison married, in 1781 or 1782, Mary Storms, who was born at Haverstraw, June 20, 1760, and who died there March 24, 1824. She was stout, had black hair and eyes and an amiable disposition, and was full of courage and patriotism. They resided at Haverstraw, N. Y. CHILDBKN BOim AT HAVEH8TRAW, N. Y. 1716.

He married, Oct. 28, 1818, Hannah, daugh- ter of Jonas and Mary (Burns) Brewster, of Haverstraw, Rockland Co., N. Y. She was born July 13, 1794, and died in Haverstraw, Sept. 2, 1867. He died there Aug. 27, 1884. Mr. Allison passed his early life in the city of New York. In the last war with Great Britain he took an active part, and in 1812 was an oflScer in Colonel Washburn's regiment, and was stationed at Sandy Hook. When hostilities had ceased he removed to Haverstraw upon the invitation of his grandmother, who was occupying the old Allison homestead, which had been left to her by her husband. Soon afterward she purchased land in North Haverstraw, now Stony Point, where his residence stood, occupied by his, son Brewster J. Allison, ir 1892. This land was owned by Wandell Mace, who was anxious to sell and move to what was then the " West," now the central part of the state of New York, " where 100 acres of good land could be bought for fifty dol- lars." The first business of Mr. Allison was to keep a small store and furnishing goods needed in a country neighborhood. By marriage ana by purchase he became the owner of a large tract of timber land, and he connected with his mercantile business that of wood and lumber. He afterward purchased a tract of farm land adjoining his homestead, and carried on quite an extensive farm in connection with his other enter- prises. The brick-making business soon gave him a wider field for the exercise of his powers, and this, with the rapid advance in the value of real estate, increased his wealth to such an extent that he became one of the wealthiest men of the county. In 1829 he was elected a member of the assem- I 270 AMANDA ALLISON, OF STON^ POINT, N. Y. bly of New York, and reelected in 1830. He took a deep and active interest in the military profession, and was a colonel and afterward a brigadier-general of the militia of Rockland county, N. J.

Before he was I i;j: i It i" MICHAEL S. ALLISON, OF JEB8EY CITY, N. J. 273 five years of age his parents removed to Haverstraw, Rock- land county, N. Y., where he received a good academic edu- cation, and learned the trade of ship carpentry with his father. He worked at his trade as a journeyman in Brooklyn, N. Y., for several years. Then he leased a ship-yard in Hoboken, N. J., and removed his family to that city. Here he did a very large business, repairing vessels and building new ones, chiefly three-masted schooners, for the Virginia trade, stanch sea-going vessels with very fast sailing qualities, and steam- boate, all of which were remarkable for their speed, notably the steamboats J. W. Baldwin and Mary Powell. From Hoboken he moved with his family to 178 Pacific avenue, Lafayette, now a part of Jersey City, N. J. This dwelling and grounds he purchased, and it became his permanent home. He also became the owner of an extensive ship-yard at Jersey City, where he continued the business during the remainder of his life. Love and veneration for his mother and her memory were distinguishing traits in his character. He inherited from his father a sound, vigorous constitution. He was about five feet and nine inches in height, thick set, mth a powerful frame, very muscular ; he had double teeth all around in both jaws ; brown hair, becoming partly bald on the top of his head, and blue eyes. From his mother he derived deep rev- erence for God and his revealed truth. Early in life he became identified with religious work as a member of the Methodist Episcopal church, of which he continued a useful and honored member, holding the office of steward or trustee during life. He contributed largely of his means to church and benevolent causes. His hospitable home was always open to the ministers of the Methodist Episcopal church, and was the headquarters of its bishops when their duties called them in that vicinity. He was a member of the order of Odd Fellows and of the Masonic fraternity, and a director in sev- eral banking and other institutions. He died at his home in Jersey City on May 22, 1881. On May 24 impressive funeral services were held at the residence, thirty clergymen being present, besides the relatives and friends in that vicinity. Rev. Mr. Lowrie, a former pastor, referred to him as a model man in every phase of life. Other clergymen followed in the same strain, some of whom, having been very near to him in religious and social life, spoke with great tenderness, even with tears. The following day his remains were conveyed to Haver- straw on the steamboat John Sylvester, which he had built and always owned in part. Accompanying the remains were del- 18 ;i; ^1 274 MICHAEL 8. ALLISON, OF JERSEY CITY, N. J. egations from the Amity lodge, No. 103, F. and A. M., Amity chapter, No. 31, R. A. M., Columbia lodge. No. 63, I. O. O. F., all of Jersey City, six clergymen, and the workmen in his employ, members of his family, and a large number of friends. They were met by the Stony Point lodge of F. and A. M., and the procession, including over fifty carriages, slowly proceeded to the Methodist Episcopal church. The day was serene and lovely. Five clergymen participated in the ser- vices, four of whom, Messrs. Lowrie, Coit, Ellison, and Mon- roe, had been pastors of the deceased. His remains were interred in the family plot in Mount Repose cemetery. He had accumulated a large property and left his family in good circumstances, with a wise provision for the continuance of the business by his sons. He married, at the home of her parents in Haverstraw, Catherine, daughter of Christopher and Rebecca (Allison) Cosgrove. She was born in Haverstraw, N. Y., Jan. 16, 1819 ; died in Brooklyn, N. Y., Feb. 12, 1845, and her remains are interred in Mount Repose cemetery. She was reared to a life of useful industry, and in the love and fear of God. Possessing an amiable disposition, with a bright, cheerful expression of countenance, she became the sunshine of her home, and greatly endeared to her husband and family. Her early death was partly due Lo her rather delicate physical organization. She possessed a fine mind, with deep religious convictions. She died as she had lived, in the full conscious- ness of her Saviour's love. She was a member of the Meth- odist Episcopal church. Mr. Allison married, second, Sept. 17, 1845, at the home of her parents in Haverstraw, Jane Eliza Cosgrove, a sister of his first wife. She was born in that place Feb. 9, 1817. Brought up on the old homestead, under the guidance of her remarkable mother, she acquired habits of useful industry in doing her full share in the varied duties of farm life, which included assisting in garden work, gathering fruits in season, husking corn, milking, churning, baking, cooking, spinning, and sewing, thus fitting her to become a model housewife. She was converted early in life and joined the Methodist Episcopal church. Since then she has found the comforts and consolations of religion her highest joy and support in the many afflictions she has been called to endure. She is about five feet, seven inches in height, and large framed. She has dark hair (now gray), regular features, and black expressive eyes, a mild and forbearing disposition ; is domes- tic in her tastes and habits, and cherishes a loving devo- id 186 186] I i '^ 1 1857. tion to all her friends Si u , continued to reside with' te?fL''""'^'"''» decease she ha. tte.r home on Pacific avenue JeJ^ ^J™^""! daughte,. ."

The yards were then leased to other parties, and he engaged in land surveying. He held the office of town superintendent of schools from 1848 to 1863, when the office was abolished. He was a member of the assembly in 1850, and served on the commit- tee on roads and bridges and towns and cities. The rival candidate for the position was Edward Pye. Mr. Allison was elected on a " free soil " ticket and naturally drifted into the Republican party, at its formation, to which he is still attached. In 1853 he again entered into the manufacture of brick, in which he is still engaged. Mr. Allison was connected with the First Presbyterian church of Haverstraw, with which he united in 1854, and was one of its elders until August, 1892, when he united with the Presbyterian church of Stouy Point, and was elected to the same position. He is a pronounced temperance man, and has been a zealous worker in that cause. He lives at the village of Stony Point, N. Y., in the house where lived his father, Hon. George S. Allison. He married, Nov. 19, 1856, Anna Elizabeth, daughter of William C; Housman, of Haverstraw. She died in Haverstraw, April 27, 1862. He married, second. May 2, 1868, Anna Given, daughter of Nel- son and Mary C. (Denniston) Andrus, of Haverstraw.

Her father was a native of Salisbury, England, and s* of Thomas Love. Her mother was of Edinburgh, Scotland. Mr. Allison was educated in the public schools of ti^e city of New York. He enlisted in 1861 in the 7th Reg't of New York Vols., and served in the defence of Washington. In 282 THOMAS ALLISON, OP NEW YORK, N. Y. May, 1862, he was promoted to be first sergeant.

He entered the Free academy, now college, of the city of New York, from Ward School No. 35, in West 13th St., and was graduated in 1860. He was admitted to the bar in November, 1861, having studied law in the office of Hon. John W. Edmonds, and has ever since been in the active practice of his profession, and ranks high as a lawyer. He was nominated for judge of the court of common pleas for the city and county of New York, in 1889 ; endorsed by the Republicans, and polled some 92,000 votes, but was defeated by the Tammany Hall Democratic candidate. He was offered by Mayor Edson, in 1884, the appointment as corpora- tion counsel of New York city, which was declined. The degrees of Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts have been conferred upon him.

William Outis Allison « [18951 (William Henry ,7 Hendrick,^ Matthew,^ Joseph,* Jonn,^ John,^ Lawrence 0« The following sketch of Mr. Allison was written by his friend, J. M. Peters, Esq. : Lawrence, the first Allison of this branch of the family known in America, who was one of the eariy settlers in the New Haven colony, left the place to join his son John whom the records show was one of the founders of the town of Hempstead on Long Island about 1644. Whether John was born in this country is unknown to us, but he appears to have engaged in this enterprise before attaining his majority. In 1719 his grandson John, who was evidently a man of some wealth for the time, went with a number of others from the Hempstead settlement to the west uf the Hudson, and bought a large tract of land known as the Kakiat Pat- ent, in Orange, now Rockland county. He subsequently became the owner of a large part of the land lying between what- is now known as Rockland Lake and Stony Point on the Hudson river. He had a numerous family, among them a son Joseph, who added largely by purchase to his inher- ited possessions in land, and was one of the most extensive landholders in that section. Joseph's oldest son, Matthew Allison, died before his father, and left a number of children, among them Hendrick. who married Sarah Marks, a Haver- straw maiden, with whom, about 1810, he settled on the bank of the Hudson at a point considerably south of his native place. Here William H. Allison was born in 1820, and after marriage settled in old Hackensack, now Palisades township, in Bergen county, N. J., where William O. Alli- son, the subject of this sketch, was born on March 30, 1849. The maternal ancestry of William O. Allison had resided for more than two hundred years within a few miles of this spot. His maternal great-grandfather [Jordan] was French, ha.ing come to this country with Lafayette and become a Revolutionary soldier. He subsequently married a Jersey Dutch wife and settled upon the Palisades, a few miles north of the present home of his great-grandson, whose other ancestors on his mother's side were among the original Dutch settlers at old Tappan, one of the earliest settlements in New Jersey. m 284 WILUAM O. ALLISON, OF ENOLEWOOD, N. J. The student of heredity and the defender of the law of entail will each fibu something of interest in tracing the his- tory of the ancestry of the subject of this sketch. From the earliest records of Lawrence Allison, or, more directly, from those of his son John, we find the evidences of foresight and thrift which, developing in the third in descent from *he resident of the New Haven colony, led to the foundation of a great fortune in land on the west banks of the Hudson. With succeeding generations ownership of this vast estate became divided and subdivided, but no generation of the family down to the present has been wholly without an inheritance from the estate acquired more than a century and a half ago. This possession proved enough to afford the means of a livelihood, growing more meagre, however, with successive generations, but yet enough to dispel want, and so, perhaps, to curb ambitions ; for circumstances more affluent or less comfortable might have developed in a larger number of the descendants of John Allison the traits which the rec- ords of his operations as a pioneer showed him to possess. But the assurance of enough land from which to earn a livelihood by working, or to acquire a living by sale, is not a favorable culture-medium for those qualities which make pioneers, or develop conspicuous successes in any walk of life ; and for several generations muiy of the strongest qual- ities of the Allison family lay dormant in this branch of its descent, for the need of the actual necessities for their devel- opment, or for some other incitement to their employment. From his early boyhood the subject of this sketch lived much of the time in the family of William B. Dana, a prom- inent resident of the Palisades, a man of forceful and exem- plary character, and a journalist of culture. The intelligent observer of his own life cannot deny the important part which the accident of his environment has had in his suc- cesses quite as much as in his failures, and it has been alike creditable to his intelligence and his loyalty to so good a friend as she was, that William O. Allison has never failed to give full measure of acknowledgment, no less by deed than by word, of the benign influence which Mrs. (Katharine Floyd) Dana exerted upon his life. This good woman, h self childless, took a deep interest in the boy, and his in lectual development was guided by her in a manner born the superior intelligence and the inbred refinement, and wielded by the great strength of character which she pos- sessed. That she found in him the inherent traits for devel- opment, was as satisfactory to her as was her training grate- WILLIAM O. ALLISON, OF ENGLEWOOD, N. J. 285 ful to him, and I doubt if such a befriending was ever more liberally rewarded, than was hers by the character which she saw develop into manhood, no less than by the devotion which he accorded to her. His middle name, Outis, was adopted by him to gratify a fancy of Mrs. Dana's that his initials should correspond to those of her nom de plume.y " Olive A. Wadsworth." In 1868 young Allison entered the office of the Financial Chronicle and the Daily Bulletin, which was owned by Mr. Dana, and the brother of Mrs. Dana, Mr. John G. Floyd, and he thore gained a general and thorough knowledge of the publish.ing business. With this knowledge, and possess- ing keen business instincts, he developed in a few years into the best reporter of commercial markets that has ever been on the New York press, and instituted a system of thorough- ness in reports which had previously been unknown and which few reporters have been able to successfully copy. From a salary of $7 per week, which he received when he entered Mr. Dana's eniplo}^ he reached inside of three years a salary of |40 per week as a reporter ; but this rapid prog- ress did not satisfy his ambition even for the time, and on October 21, 1871, as a result of the confidence which he felt in his system of making a specialty of a few markets and doing them thoroughly, he issued the first number of the Oil, Paint and Drug Reporter. The early issues of the Reporter were in the form of a small four-page paper of extremely modest appearance as compared with other papers already prominent in the industries to which it was devoted, but contained more of real value to the subscribers than the conductors of any other sheets had possessed sufficient com- prehension of the possibilities of market reporting to fur- r.ish. The growth of the paper in circulation was remarkable, and its advertising patronage, in connection with added departments of valuable reading matter, was sufficient to force numerous successive enlargements. But it was only after a hard struggle of several years that the plucky young publisher saw the fulfilment of the hope he entertained at the beginning of his career, that he should some day make five thousand dollars per year. From this point, however, the successful growth of the paper is, I believe, without any par- allel in commercial journalism, and the Reporter soon became one of the most profitable class publications in the country, and exerted an influence in the trades to which it was allied such as no other commercial publication has ever wielded. This influence was the direct result of the policy of obtain- fi! 286 WILLIAM O. ALLISON, OF ENGLEWOOD, N. J. 1^ VJ. 'h ing and furnishing accurate, comprehensive, and, therefore, valuable information concerning all the markets which the paper reported ; and upon all these markets the proprietor of the Reporter, so long as he was actually engaged in the conduct of the paper, was admitted to be the best informed man in New York. This fact brought Mr. Allison closely into personal contact with a large clientage, and made his judgment and opinions much sought after. It also led him into enterprises outside of the publishing business, and proved a source of profit to him in many ways. In addition to these interests, a perhaps inherited tendency to operate in real estate has led him to acquire from time to time tracts of land, chiefly on or in the vicinity of the Palisades, until he has become one of the largest land-owners in that section. As a publisher, financier, and real estate operator, William 0. Allison has achieved successes which have won for him the admiration and respect that legitimate successes, born of industry and good judgment and gained by no sacrifice of integrity, gain for any man. He had enjoyed the confidence of merchants and financiers, for the most part many years his senior, to the extent that is rarely accorded a young man, long before he attained to that mile-post in life which the lexicographers define as the beginning A middle age. And even before that period had been reached, he had gained a prominent place as a factor in very extensive commercial and financial enterprises. But his most attractive qualities are best known to those who have come into the closer social contact with him, and are not measured by financial suc- cesses, nor influenced by them except as they have afforded him the opportunities for extending unostentatious and oft- times unappreciated benefactions. When a man has made a good use of every opportunity that has presented itself to him, and has lived a thoroughly exemplary life amid sur- roundings shorn of none of the temptations which beset every man, it affords me much satisfaction to be permitted to record the facts to his praise, and I take it that in a sketch intended for the purpose to which this is to be piit, I may be permitted to mdulge this inclination without being guilty of that ostentation which is as far from my wishes, as it would be unjust and distasteful to him of whom I write. He married, Oct. 22, 1884, Caroline Longstreet Hovey, daughter of Alfred Howard Hovty and Frances (Noxon) Hovey, of Syracuse, N. Y. Her parents died when she was very young. She was adopted by Hon. George F. Comstock and his wife, and took the name of Comstock.
