Besides my recognized nasiatant in the compilation of this
Genealogy, and those to whotn I acknowledged my obligationa in
the »• New England Hiatorical and Genealogical Regiater" for Octo-
ber, 1887, I am indebted to Dr. William Savery, of Sharon Hill,
Penn.. for biographical matter pertaining to the Philadelphia Family,
to Hon. James B. Severy, Judge of the County Court of El Paso
County, Col., for information by which I was enabled to trace the
branches of the Severy family aettled in Maine, and to Dr. Samuel
Smiles for the permisaion accorded me to publish in America the
chapter in his *' Lives of Boulton and Watt," which givos an accoant
of Savery's invention of the steam engine.
And in this place I would repeat with emphasis the expression of
my great indebtedness to Miss Lydia A. Savary for her invaluable
and continued assistance, without which I would never have been
able to bring the work to a satisfactory conclusion. She gathered
and furnished me by far the greater part of the materials woven into
the genealogy of what I have called "Subdivision A" of the Old
Colony Family, and a considerable quantity of other important mat-
ter utilized in appropriate places in the genealogical portions of the
book.
I have consulted, for my sketch of the eminent minister, the
"Journal of the Life and Labours of William Savery," edited by
Jonathan Evans, Philadelphia; the "Life of Elizabeth Fry," by her
daughter, Mrs. Cresswell; "Anecdotes of Friends" (issued by the
"Tract Association of Friends," Philadelphia), and some letters of
the minister to bis wife from England.
Those who have been surprised and disappointed at the long delay
in issuing the book have no conception of the immense amount of
time and labor which the compilation of such a work demands, and
which was, in this case, aggravated by the distance of my residence
from the records in which information was to be sought, and my
want of sufficient leisure to spare from the duties of an engrossinir
office. The correspondence involved was enormous, and the ex-

peiiHcs ineurred ho extinordinnry tbnt tlie flnaneinl Iohh will be great
relatively to that resulting from the preparation and publication of
moHt works of the same nature. Such l)Ooks are expected to repay
the cost of publication, and sometimes partially or wholly the expense
of researcbcR, but the \.ork of compiling and writing is a " lalwr of
love." My own QX|)en8es are much beyond the i)088ibility of recon|>-
ment from sales of the book. It may appear i; ngracious to mention
this, and yet it seems but right to disabuse the minds of those who
may suppose that I have entered upon and carrieti on this work
with u prospect of pecuniary gain. What was at tirst the indulgence
of a taste for antiquarian research, family history, and speculations
in heredity, gradually grew into a herculean task, which I more than
once seriously contemplated abandoning in despair.
In beginning my investigations in 1881, I was actuated simnly by
a desire to clearly trace up my own ancestry to its source on the
odier side of the Atlantic, and to that end apnlied for information to
several kinspeople in Massachusetts whose addresses I chanced to
obtain, but whom I had never met. These, in the order of time,
were Hon. William Savery. of Carver ; Adolphus Savary, Esq., and
Miss Lydia A. Savary, of East Wareham; Theodore P. Adams,
Esq., of Boston ; and Rev. W. H. Savary, of Canton, now of South
Boston ; all of whom most cordially responded, with a large amount
of Interesting matter, which, while not reaching back far enough to
elucidate the transatlantic origin of the family, inspired me with
more zeal to discover it, i»ud prompted tlie more ambitious task of a
full family history and genpalogy. The pleasure I have derived
from my correspondence and subsequent acquaintance with these
and otuera of my American kinsfolk, and others not kinsfolk, who
have in various degrees contributed to my success, has relieved and
lightened my labors.
A complication that rendered my work more difficult was the exist-
ence in Plymouth County of a quite numerous family of the same
name, who, it was taken for granted by myself and most of my early
coiTespondents, were a part of the " Old Colony " family of Saverys,
but whom a careful investigation proved to have been descended
from an entirely diflferent source, the name being a development
from one originally quite diflferent, and an example of the curious
way in which in English-speaking communii -s a name originally
PUEFACE.
purely Freiiob, will, in the ociiree of (renerntioim, Ijccome ^rnduully
changed into one of Kngli^li sound, or locally common a.'« nn Knglish
name. The b<K>k will therefore be divided into two parts, the seeond
of which will contain the genealogy of the Scvcry family, and of the
Snverys who are descended from the immigrant ancestor of the
Severys, whose name, it will l)e seen, was Sivret, changed toSeverit
on this side of the water. I at one time thought of publishing this
in a separate vjlume, but decided Anally that it would be more inter-
cstingand useful to both families to place the two genealogies in iuxta-
[Mjsition in the same book, in order that difference, as well us '-.lentity,
of origin and pedigree, and non-relationship, as well as relationshi,)
of people bearing the LMwts nani}8, might be elucidated together. I
am sorry that the genealogy of the Severy family is not fuller.
Many of the descendants of the first Joseph Severy, of Sutton, I
have been unable to trace, and there were evidently two of the name,
probably his uncles, who remained at Marblehead, and were progen-
itors of a numerous posterity, who now all write their names
" Savory." All the Marblehead church and town records relating to
the name I have inserted in an appendix, so that any one who may
wish to trace tliese lines more closely moy be aided in doing so. I
was disappointed at discovering that so many esteemed correspond-
ents, worthy of all regard, and much interested in this Genealogy,
were in no wise related to the family of which I was a member, or
to any of the consanguineous families of the same name, wliose his-
tory alone I for some time thought I was compiling.
In tlie female lines I did not at first expect to give more than the
marriage? of daughters, and the first generations of their children.
Where I have done more, the infonnation was volunteered to me, or
was easily obtainable. A genealogy of the descendants of an early
immigrant to America on a plan embracing the descendants in female
as well as in male lines is rarely accomplished, and would lave Ijeen
much beyond my time and resources.

|u;)MM-i'Httoii in V hlcli tlm ixm'roii named is n-moved in <lfgo<>nt from the im-
migrant aueeslor of liis family. The names l>et ween hracltets and in Italics
are those of the direct lineal ancestors of the person treated of back to his
immigrant ancestor, who Is in such case numbered w*th a small ' over the
(Jhristlan name In the same manner, the son of the Immigrant numbered ',
«;rand8on ', and so on down to the present eeixeratlon. The lloman uu-
inurals in a column on the left of the names where births are recorded are
intended to ithow the numli;'r of the children born of the same parents and
t lie order of tlietr births. The familiar Arabic numerals in the margin
farther to the left show the order In which an exfnded and fuller record
will be given of the person so numbere<l, and the births of his or her chil-
dren, and so on. In case of a person not having an}' children, or onl,v un-
married children, and in female lines, it did not seem necessary always to
carry the name forward in that way, unless there was something special to
record in the person's own career, such as important military or civil pub-
lic service, professional endnence, etc. lu some cases the necessary infor-
mation came too lat«! to give it In a further extended record. In tracing
down a line of descent, the reader will look in the middle of the page for
the same number as that on the left side and directly against the name of
the person traced from : and so, conversely, in tracing back, look in the
left-hand margin of the previous pages for the same number as appears in
the midilie of the page above the name of the person whose ancestors you
desire to trace.
In Kngland and the colonies the Jtillan ('ulemtar wua retained until 1752,
when the Uti'i/nrlan laleiuhn; or new style, was adopted. In order, there-
fore, to make the dates liefore 1752 correspond in the solar j'ear to the new
style, it Is necessary to ad<l ten to dates of days between inOO and 1700, and
eleven to dates l>etween 1700 and 1762. Thus the " Marv and John" arrived
on May 1, 1034 rold style), to which, adding ti-n, would be May 11, 1634
(new style). Tlie year in old style was computed to begin on March 25,
so that most of her passengers took the oaths of supremacy and allegiance
before sailing, 3Iarch 24, 1033, although we would say it was in the sann'
year as that in which they arrived. Some of her passengers took the oaths
on the 2nth of March, which was the second day of the year 1034.
Where I have used the prefixes "Deacon," "Captain," etc., it is in
most cases for the purjiose of distinguishing the person designated from
others of the same Christian name, or ijecause the prefix was a common or
well-known designation of the person. I coiiciud?d it a safe rule to apply
to clergymen and physicians, senators and members of a State executive,
the iltles nnifimiUii accorded to them by the usages of the country in w hich
they lived. In cases of pernons who hejid offlceu, in respect to wlileh there
i» a diversity of uoage, or the prefix "lionorable *' is merely given by
courtesy, I have omitted that prefix.

In tlu' title I ^ive prectleiice to the form of .spelling the
iiiime used hy tlie nmjoiity ol" lh()se who will Ik- nieiitioned in
the work, and nearly univemal in the "Old Colony" hrauch,
from which I am myself descended, and which is the oldest family
of the name in America;* and there is Itetter authority for
" Savery," or " Savory," .s an Knglish or American name, than
there is for " Savary." The latter is distinctively the F'rench
form, the other two are English fonns of the same ancient
name. In old Norman French the a and the e were almost
convertible lettei-s.f In the French language there is no
accent, or, what is the same thing, the accent is eijualized over
all the syllables of a word, with a slight stress on the last,
while, in the i)roglessive growth and develo[)ment of the
Knglish language, a marked accent on a j)articular sj-llable,
genemlly the antepenult, became in process of time a recog-
nized rule, bringing with it a tendency to abbreviation. lleiu;e,
the second or unaccented vowel in this name, not affecting the
sound, Ixjcame a matter of no importance, with an ever-recur-
ring j)reference for the c, because it practically reduced it to
two syllables. It is interesting to note, howevei-, that in its
lii-st appearance in those old Fnglish records, the IIundre«l
HoUs, it is \uider the form "Savary," John Savarv in the
*My futlicr wa8 tl]e firrit In \\\* line to ailopt tliu fonii, which, ikm'ui'iIIiii; to niuilcrii

ever afterwards in these reciords. as in the early records of X»-\v
F^uj,dand, it is spelt indifferently "Savery" a»i/l "Savory,"
'v.th every variety of tcrniination that woidd give the same
sound as the //. Settled rules for the spelling ni surnames
were unknown or despised until ak/ut the l)eginuing of this
century. In early colonial days learned men on IhhIi sides of
the ocein not only wrote their names phonetically and accord-
ing to each one's ear or taste, hut entirely at random, and often
in several different ways in the same document. So great was
the diversity in orthography general! v. that an eminent author-
ity on names * suggests that the display of variety in this
respect may have l)een consideied ornam«,'ntal. just as a Avriter
aiming at elegance t(wlay would strive to avoid repeating
the same word or pinase in a sentence. Among the French
similar differences, hut not to so striking an extent, existed in
respect to this name. In Agnew's " List of French Protestant
Exiles in England." we iind not only Matthew and Stephe:i
Savary and sons J^uke and John, and Danielf Savary, but in
1701, Elias Savoret, John Savouret, and Zachary Savory.
The most rational etymology of the name is tliat given hy
Ferguson in his excellent work on English surnames. He
makes it a compound of a word in the ancient Teutonic lan-
guages, "Saha" or "Sahas," a sword (whence our uiodern
•'sabre "), and the familiar old German terminati()n /•//* or rich,
implying rule or dominion, and generally rendered "• Prince,"

IJut the Normans were not only the most martial of the
northern nations; they earlier attained a comi)aratively relined
an<l complex civilization, and a more complete and polished
language. Descended from the vanguard of the pristine
(iermanic trilies, themselves the flower of the Swedes,
Danes, and Norwegians, they had .settled themselves in that
part of ancient Gaul to which they gave the name indicative
of their northern origin, learned and improved on the native

surnames in modern times. But except in honor of a family
alliance, of which there have l)een many instances in Mivssa-
chusettM, it has not 1)cen so fortunate in retaining its hold oh a
Christian name, as many (jtheiw of cojynate derivation (notably
the two I have cited), which are still favorites in the homes of
Western Europe and Americia. Perhaps it dropped out of use
when, in the "aj?es of faith," it became the rule to give the
new-lxmi child the name of a tutelar saint, no Savary having
attained the (Ustinction of canonization.
The Normans were probably the tii-st to plant the name in
Holland and Flandei-s, countries which i)roduced the distin-
guished paintei-s and engravei-s, John, Roland, and Solomon

recorded that Dukf Ciman 111., in the early part of the twelfth

tells us that when William invadeil Knglandf "several llretou
nohles. whom the civil troubles of their province had allied to
the interests of this foreign princc.J accompanied him." We
know that the Contpieror rewarded his followci-s with large
estates, and (transhiting again from Darn, pp. ;50»} .■{(►8), "The
immense fortunes so suddenly acquir.'d excited the cupidity of
these transmarine peoi)le so that they ruslie<l to the newly con-
([uered island as it were to a new world which In-longed to
every new-comer." The Northmen had obtained a foothold in
Hrittany as early as A. D. 1»1'2, and al)out the year !>1>0 the
Norman (JeotYroi, Count of liennes, a.ssumed the title of Duke
of llretagne. At the time of the conquest many of the nobh-s
of IJrittany were of Norman origin ; to which fact the name of
"Savary" in that province wiw un(|uestionably due. Doubt-
less Iiretf>ns of all classes mixed their blood in some degree
with the Norman element which infused itself into the South
and Southwest of Kngland, as itritain herself had contributed
t«» IJrittany in the fifth and sixth centuries.
Hrittany was not then politically a part of Fmnce. Their
national fortunes, blended f«u' a while, had parted, and the val-
iant dukes of Normandy and their dauntless foUowei-s had
practically wrested their own country from the control (if the
Carlovingian kings ; and even if the goodly Devonshire tree,
instead of the still older Norman-Knglish trunk, had sent out
oui' New Kngland offshoots, it would la' erroneous to say that
we are of Kiench extraction. The Normans of that day were

was sou of William Ht'iiiv Savorv of tin* city of Lontlon,
probably tlu' one who a|)peai-s in tlie Directory of 1S20 as a
" lish factoi" at Love Lane.
All oriirjiial docunient. ti'tnp. Henry VHT.. shows that one
Henry Savory, a j)arty to it, then of Southampton, was horn
a subject of France. William Savery, age 'Irt. was among the
passengeix of the siiip •• (Jlolte " of Lon<h)n, IJlackwell. master,
to V^irginia, in 1»>8"). July 2, IdfiO, Bridget liushy, widow
of Nicholas, of lioston, mentions in a deed her daughter
Catherine, wife of William Savery of Norwich, Knglanil. In
Barhadoes the name ajjoeared soon after its advent to New
England, couj)led with several Christian names ccmimon in iMith
migrations. The name Anthony, rare among the I'ilgrims and
Puritans of that day, hut conunon to the Wiltshire and l*lym-
outli Comity Saverys, appears to me veiy suggestive, of a
kinship; hut as 1 suspect that the Philadelphia family de-
scended from this source, it will he exi)edient to treat of the
name in liarhadoes elsewhere and more in detail.

The Hftieth name on the first list of freemen of IMymouth
Colony, 1(!:{8, is Anthony Saver}-, repeated in a longer list of
1(336-7, and again in a list of 1(180.* Opixisite the name on
this list is the word "dead,"' but he is mentioned in the records
until as late as 1(!42.
The second occiirrence of the name is that of Thohias Savory
in April, l(i84, as one of that ill-advised expedition organized
by Howland, then one of the governor's assistants, to dislodge
the alleged intruder Hocking from his trading position on the
KennelH'c iiiver, which he held, it was said, in detiance of the
chartered rights of Plyniouth Colony. Hocking refusing to

Kngland disclosed that Hocking was really a trespasser: and
therefore the assault on him was technically justilicd. though
none the less injudicious and reprehensible, iiut it came near
making this geiu-alogy impossible.

(lisclosiiijj no triici' in tliiit ccmiity of any Anthony Savery
whatever, and none of any Tlioinas who touhl Im identitied
with the early ininii^rantH. It is, however, an historical fact
that the passenjrers by the •• Mary and .I(»hn "" were from Wilt-
shire or places on its iMirdeix, and were infhu'Mced in their
niigmtion l»y their devotion to the jtei'son and ministry of the
celelmited Kev. KolHMt I'arker, of Newlniry. Berkshire, whose
early home was near Ilaninj^ton, Wilts; and a search in the
records of that paiish, while it does jiot f;ive nie any Thomas
and William whom I can clearly indentify a,s the ThomaM and
William of the •• Mary and .lohn, t^ives" me a Thmuiw and an
Anthony answerinji; to those of that name who ajtpeared at
I'lymouth the year l^fore. The names of Thomas and Anthony
are frequently mentioned tojj^ether in the Ohl Colony records,
and in such a way in the later records as if they li'ed together,
occurring jointl}- in 1(14:2 in an allotment of cattle, Thomas
always having precedence, as if the elder ; so we infer they were
brothel's.
On May I, 1")9H, l{ol)ert Savery was buried at Hanington,
and on the loth his will, in which he is styled 1 usbandman,
was proved by his widow Joan. He left his "free lands" to
his son Thomas, and 4(>x. each to his "three brothers, Richard,
Th' an<l Anth(inii;" but does not say where these brothers
lived. I infer that Thomas was his oidy son, and he must have
remained at Ifanington. on the paternal acres devised to him.
The records of all the neighboring parishes in Wiltshire, and
over the border, in l$erks. contain abundant mention of the
name, but some reiords do not extend back (piite so far as
these of Hanington. while the latter do not, luitil a considerably
later date, give the parentages in case of bajitism, or the ages
at death in case of Inuials. Hut on Jan. :2(>. 1 iV.Mj, Thomas
Savory, who it seems certain was this only son of Robert, married
Mary Woodrorke, and I tind. in due course, a Holn-rt Savory chris-
tened May 14. la'.tS. That this child should have Iteen given
the name of his fathei's father was in accordance with a cus-

Jan. 20, 1»)()') (1»10(), new style). There is the stronjrest
prohahility that one of these infant Thomiuses and this Anthony
were the lirf)tliei's (second and third .sons of Thomas Savory
and Mary Woodrorke, and grandsons of the testator IJoU'rt),
who came to Plymouth in the wake of the Piljfrim fathers.
If I could find the descendants of their great-uncle Anthony,
mentioned in Roliert's will, I .should expect to find in one of
his sfrandchildren the Anthony who died in liarhadoes in 1«)82,
while among the later descendants of this younger Rol)ert, or
of his great-uncle Richard, might perhaps he found the KolaM't
who appeai-s in Portsmouth, N. 11., in 1746. Richard and
Rol»ert, sons of Richard, were lK)rn at Ilanington in KloO aiul
l(to4, respectively, a circumstance that repeated itself in or
near Portsmouth or Seahrook, N. II., about 1781 and 1783.
There were several William Saverys at Hanington, and one
at least at Lambourne, Berkshire, almut thirteen miles distant,
about this period : the names Thomas and William, Tho!nas and
Anthony. William and Robert, Robert and Richard, run alter-
nately as of father an<l son. or in couples lus of brothers, all
through these Hanington and adjacent records, while the
name Humphrey also was connnon, one of that naim^ who wius

marriage to one of Mai's!), at one time of considerahle note in
the parish, one of whom. Rev. Triptolemus Mai-sh, I). I).,
iH'came Areldnshop of Duhlin. From this family, therefore, as
so many offshoots or scions from a jjarent tree, still well rep-
resented «)U the old soil, I deduce all of the name who are
treated in the ensuinjf pages, exee[)t those shown to Iw descended
from the Severits or Severys, of Marhlehead, including the
Philadelphia family, provided I am correct in my uiatured
opinion that the undoubted ancestor of the latter was lK)rn in
Harbadoes.
Anthony Savery evidently died in or soon after the year
1(!42, and I find no trace of his leaving any children. The
births of none apjiear in the records, and I think he was un-
married, unless the Mary Savery, who in 1<)»>1 mariied Josei»li

in the township of I'lymouth, also a piece of upland lying and

On the 21st of Fehruary, 1»}()8, ten acres of land were granted
to Thomas Savory "at the foure mile hr(»ok lying next luito his

In May, same year, lie iH-caine surety f<»r the t,'<MMl iH'Iiavior
of John Harhtw, who In-inpf eliar^'etl witli an ott'ence ajfainst
good morals, protested his iiinoeenee. July 1**, 1<>*>7, he sold
to Zaehariah Kihly thirty acres ad ji lining land on whieh the
latter then lived at Middlehoro.
On the seventh day of June, lf)70, with the usual strong and
expressive adjectives unfortunately used hy our stern old fore-
fathei-s to emphasize vwivy advei-se record, we Hnd that 'I'homas
Savory was dismissed from his ofHce of under-maishal for lack
of vigilance in his care (»f prisoiuMs, "especially hy letting of
one Josej)!! Turner,* conunitted to him as his prisonei' make his
escape frf>m him to the great offence of the Court and countiy;
the Staid Turner l)eing found guilty of many ahoniinahle crimes,
and had received his demerits had he not made his escape as
aforesaid." liut on a jietition of tl;e inhahitants for his lein
statement, the ccmrt, as early as the ath of the following
month, was " persuaded ... to admit him to his place
again," and he evidently held the ollice until his death.
Finally, on the 7th of March, l<i7<l, his widow Ann proves his
will, dated April 1, 1<!74.

Ills own slender means, anijily prove. No temptation to turn
this to his own prolit ever overcame him. The records do not

It is to Ik.' regretted that we have no reliable ree(»rds illustrat-
ing the character of our " I'ilgrini mother," except the affec-
tionate and devoted terms in which she is thrictt mentioned in
the short will of her husband, evidently his own composition, f(*r
its phraseology is not that of an otlicial or professional scrilH^.
Tiiere is nothing whatever to show her parentage, any clew to
which evades research. In a deed dated .Nhirch 22, 1077-8,
recorded Vol. IV., p. iUl, of I'lyniouth records, she conveys
to Anthony an<l Aaron, her sons, tlu! land at Four-mih* Hrook
which " fell to my lat(! husband Thomas Sav(»ry by »;xchange
with (mr brother-in-law Samuel Kddy." In which of several
ways the atlinity thus spoken of consist(!d, \\i> can (»nly c(»njec-
ture. Sanniel Kddy, tlit; progenitor of a distinguished American
family, was a son of the l{ev. William ICddy, A. .M.. a native
of Hristol and viear of Cranbrtxtk, Kent, Kngianrl. (See Kddy
Family, with (lenealogy, by \l. II. Kddy, Hoston, \HH2.) lie
had a sister Anna, born May, ItiOiJ, hut the language, '*our
brother-in-law," was not exactly what would have l»een used by
her, and we cannot suppose her to have been the mother of the
Mary Imu'U liifi-i, and we have reason to In-licvt! there were still
younger children of Thomas and Anne Savory. She and
Sanuicl Kd<ly's wife may havi; been sisters ; but the language,
although it would suit this, is still better adapted to the con-
dition that Sanuiel Kddy married Thomas Savory's sister.*
In this deed, also, we lind the only reference to a son

Anthony. We may coiijecturo that hv and Aaron were younger
.sons wild had n-nmiiu-d under the parental roof after the others
liad left, or U'en otherwise provided for; and no douht the
deed was intended, as far as Aaron was eoneerned, as a fultil-
nient of the testamentary l)ehest. The loss of some old hook
or hooks of town and elmreli reeords de|)rives us of eomplete
data of the hirths of Thomas Savory's ehildren, — a matter in
respect to whieli the Savery family u. this, and, as will lie seen
in the next generation, is exeej)tionally unfortunate. Five
oidy are found reeorded. In Vol. 1\'., p. T)*), on Mareh 1,
ltl(i:5-4, we lindthis: »• Kichard Willis and Joseph Savery fined
y 4'' for hreakiuff the jjeaee towards each other." 1 suspeet that
this Joseph was still another son of Thomas. I therefore con-
struct the following list of his children : —
I. tJoMt'ph- ( y ) . N'o fui-thor trace of tiiiii appears.
II. Benjamin, ti. March, 164-1-5; no trace of liim appears except
the two apprenticesliip-i ah'cady inentioiieii.
III. Tlioinas, h. Mardi l.">, l(>47-8; we have seen that he was at the
age of tlve apprentii'ed to Thomas Lettice. It appears
that later he was ai>preiitice(l to, or hi some way employed
hy the worthy anil (listin<;uishe(l Timoihy Ilatherly, the
founder of Scituate, who was so active and influential in
tlie history of the infant colony : for he is remembered l>y
him in liis will, dated Dec. 20, 1(1(54, hy the l)ef|uest of .50s.,
'•to I)e payed when his service is expinMl." lie was killed
in a liattle with the Indians, 'iTlh March, l(>7(i, wiiile serv-
Mig under L'aj)t. Pierce, who was sent with a comiiany of
fifty white men and twenty friendly Indians from Cape
Cod, to pursue the Indians to IShode Island. They crossed
the river at I'awtucket, ami were surrounded and defeated.
(See Deane's " History of Scituate," pp. 121 and 122 ; where
w ill l>e found |a lett<'r from the l{ev. Noah Newman of

says that fifteen out of the cij^hteen men from Scituate in
tliis expedition were slain; the major \y.irt of whom
(.tmon;j them "Thomas :'.iivary") he say.'* were heads of

tliose who had taken the freeman's oath as citizens of
Dartmouth in and ])revious to the year 1(>80. I tind no
further trace of him, unless he is the one who, aceordiuf? to
my more mature opinion, was a son of Samuel, and who
married Marjraret I'rice in 170;{, when this Anthony would
be forty-eight years old.
IX. Aaron, b. probably before March 22, UJ.Vi-7; for I presume he
was of age when he and Anthony received their deed from
their mother. From the records of the laying out of lands
in the registry ottice at New IJedford, I find him living
at Dartmouth (head of .\euslinet Hiver), in 1711. His
will was proved .Vugust, 1717, nuMitioning only his wife
Hannah. He probably left no children. At Dartmouth,
Oct. 1!», 1728, the intentious of marriage between .Joliii
' Perry of Sandwich, and Hannah Savery of Dartmouth,
wen? entered by the town clerk, but no record of the
marriage can be found. .John I'erry died 1732, leaving no
widow.
What I)et'iiiiie of the sons not ;'.t'(;oimted for al)ove I cannot
say, although I liave inmle diligent and persevering efforts to
ascertain. Samuel alone remained and settled in I'lyinoiith
Coinity or left any issue that I can discover. Considerable
migration from the Old Colony to New .Jersey took place in
that generation and the next, es[)ecially of tliose who favored
the doctrines of the " Friends," and from Xew .Jersey many
moved over to Pennsylvania ; and for some time I hoped thus
to prove the ancestry of the eminent minister. The pedigree of
President Lincoln illustrates this migration, going hack through
Pennsylvania to New .Jersey, where his (Quaker ancestors were
an offshoot from the Old Colony.

name. In 1(>81. Jan. •?<», lie was granted twenty acres of
land "lietween John's I'ond and the Ceiar Swaiiip," Swan-

grant of thirty acres of land, slntuld forthwith receive that

l»y the town of I'lymouth on Feb. 0, 1701 to Abiel Shnrt-
liff'e for 40*1. As to his children the records again fail us.
About the middle of page fifty-two of the town records of
Rochester, we iind "Samuel Savory, Jr.. Imhu y" Itj"' day of
\oveml)er in the year Itlit")." Then after the entry of John
Bumpas's children (from l<!9o to 170'.l) there follows this:
"The births of Samuel Savery Senr's children are as follows";
proceeding to mention "Judee" in lt!7il-H0. and Susanna,
1600 (ten year; later), with the note, " his son's age may lie
seen above. " These entries were evidently all made at one
time, and not earlier than 171o, and no doubt copied from
fragmentary remains of an older book. In Vol. I. of I'lymouth
town records, ]>. 112, the entry of the Iiirths of the cl'ihlrcu
of Thomas'' Savery is headed thus: "Children of Thomas
Savery. IJorn Oct. '6, lo81." Whoever prompted this lucky
a(hlition to the name of the parent may have lieen conscious of
the fact that his birth was not elsewhere recorded. Thomas in
1000 (18 years old) was a member of the South Military Com-
pany of Plymouth, which embraced Hochester, where Samuel
was settled, 'i'here was nf) other Savery than Samuel then in
I'lymouth Comity who could have been this Thomas's father.

she is styled " Mrs," ; Imt it does not follow that she was a
widow, for " Mi.ss " was in those days applied only to young
jfirls. Women of mature years and resjiectahle social rank
were styled " Mi's." Those in hunihle life usually had no prefix
given them in such records. Similarly, in case of married
people, *' Goodman " and " Goodwife," as contrasted with the
more dignified " Mr." and " Mi-s.," denoted an inferior social
position. The father of Isaac was John Bumpas, a large landed
proprietor, son of Edward licmipasse, the first of his name in
America, who came over in the " Fortune," the fii-st vessel that
followed the '•'■ Mayflower," arriving Nov. 6, 1(521, with Robert
Cushman. noted in Pilgrim annals, and thirt\ -five more pas-
sengei-s, to re-enforce the infant colony. This name, in defiance
of euphony, has Ijeen shortened to Bump, in which form it has

writes of him : ** In his youth he was engaged in farming,
teatthing siihool in winter, but I think not in navi(,'ation until

had few equals in his part of the State. I never saw him
angry, which few can say of a father. He always looked at
the silver lining, however dark the cloud." His widow died

gator, but for a time was a school teacher in New Jersey, where
he married Miss Lydia Whitlock, supposed to be from the
family of Bulstrode Whitlock, of Cromwell's day. In 1829 he
removed to New York City, and was in the employ of Peter
Cooper, the world-renowned millionnaire philanthropist. They
were intimate friends, and the families still cherish the mutual
traditionary regard. Abandoning commercial pursuits, he
bought a farm near the home of his ancestors in Wareham.
after which he became a member of the Legislature of hi^
native State. " He was celebrated for his generous, open-
hearted hospitality. No one sought his help in vain or left his
door hungry. It may be said that he was too generous, almost
impoverishing himself in the exuberance of his kindly, unselfish
nature. His kindred revered him, and a large circle of friends
lament his loss to this day." He died Aug. 13, 1861 ; and
his widow May 11, 188.5.

bringing all their goods and chattels in a covered wagon. Col. Richard O.
Sjivery, their only child, was in his fifth year. They went resolutely to
work to make for themselves a home, Mr. Savery clearing the forest and
burning charcoal. Mr. and Mrs. Savery lived on the homestead until 1872,
and reared a large family. Tliey were among the early members of the
Tiiberg Baptist Church.

olden time that Is Iteyond the memory of most people now living. Hhe re-
tained her natural buoyancy to the last. Her si<;ht and hearing were
almost unimpaired up to the time of her death. She could read without
the aid of spectacles, and could hear conversation carried on in an ordinary

died in this town a man more widely Known, resjiected, ni

honored member of the Massachusetts Medical Society, St:iti'
medical "xaminer for his district, and aurjteou (d' the liili

lowing lines, " written by a friend " :
"TO X. S. C.
" O friend of many, cold and still in death,
While others all thy praises tell, and twine
With loving hands a wreath for that i)ale brow.
This siin])le tribute to thy name I bring:
Upon thy bii'r this flower in mem'ry cast.
Lover of iiatin-e, when thou layest low.
The skies were sad, and in tlie d.arksome night
That saw thee die, all nature, weeping sore.
Wove of her tears a mantle pure and white.
And spread it o'er her breast to mourn thee, dead.

Alfrei* William' Sa vaky (Safnne^,Nathan\ Uriah*, ThomaxK
SmmieP, Tkoman^), born Oct. 10, 1831 ; graduated M. A..
at King's College, Windsor, N. S., the oldest univeraity in
Canada. Studied law and practised fouryeara in St. John, N. H.
Uetunied to Nova Scotia, and practised in Digby ; was inspec-
tor of schools for Digby County three yeai-s ; nieniVjer for the
same county in the Hi-st and second Parliaments of the Dominion
of Canada (18H7 to 1874); created queen's counsel 1870, and
was appointed judge of the newly established county courts
for the counties of Aiuiapolis, Digby, and Yarmouth, Aug. 21.
187»). Married Feb. 20, 1877. Bessie Crooksliank, daughter of
Henry P. Otty, of St. John, N. B., whose father, Allen
Otty, a retired commander in the Royal Navy, was born in
the old Danish town of Whitby, in Yorkshire, Nov. 18, 1784.
The name Otty is Scandinavian, and with the birthplace,* fixes
the descent of the family from the Danish invaders of England.
" Saxon, and Norman, and Dane are we." It is akin to the
German Otto, Otho, etc., still used as a Christian name on the
Continent, but rarely among English-speaking people not of
German origin. Under the older forms, Ote, Otte, Otere.
Alum Otere, the name is found in English records from the
thirteenth to the fifteenth centuries, and Otere in i!ic Domesday
book. Lower says that " Walter Fitz Other [which would now
be ex[)ressed " Walter, the son of Otty"], the celebrated castel
Ian of Windsor, temp. William I., the ancestor of the Fitzger-
alds. Gerards, Windsor, and other great families, was the son
of Otherus, a great landowner under Edward the Confessor."
Here we have the name I^atinized, whence we have a retranslii-
tion with the favorite English termination e ov y (old English c
modern y). Isigram, in his translation of the Saxon Chronicle,
says the name was Oht-here, or Ocht-here, i. <?., "Terror '>f
an army " (j)ht or ocht, a host, or armj-, and Iwre, fear). " Fe:ir
• Wliltl)y, meaning " wliltc town," was founded by the Danes, The termination hii,
In Danish towns. Is equivalent to the riUe In Norman, and ton In Snxon.

THE .SAVi"KY FAMILIES.
THE OLD COLONY FAMILY.
St isDivisioN n.
FOURTH GENERATION.
1.
Thomas* Saveky {Thomax^, SamueP, Thomas^), was born
April 20, 1710; and married PrisciHa, daughter of Ichabod Pad-
dock, the ancestor of the North and South Carver branches.
But few reliable traditions concerning him have come down to
us. It is said that he was carried away iis a prisoner of war
to one of the French West Indies, and kept there two years.
There is sufficient to indicate that he was fairly prosperous, and
re-pect«d in the community where he lived.

Tlie Tlioinas Saveiv who came in the " Maiy and John," I have,
as already noticed, traced from I})swicli to Newport, R. I., and
there lost him. Tiie ship arrived May 1, 1034, over a year after
the lii-st mention of the first Thomas at Plymouth. She hail
also among her passengers one William Savery.* In the sprinp
of 1635 a band of twenty-three iiei-sons moved over from Ipswich
and laid the venerable foundations of old Newbury, now New-
bury, West Newbury, and Newburyport. The Rev. Thomas
Parker removed from Ipswich in order to retain his connection
with some of his attached friends from Wiltshire, and again
many Wiltshire i)eople who had come with him to Ipswich fol-
lowed him to Newbury. I find many William Saverys on tiic
records of Ilanington, Wiltshire, near the early home of this
celebrated Puritan divine, but none whom I can positively
identify as tlie disciple who followed him to America. Whethci'
William, with a young son Roljert, was among these early
removals to Newlnny, or whether Rol)ert's was a distinit
migration from England, there is nothing on the records tn
show, but there is reason to believe that in either case Rol)eit
was born in England, for on Dec. 8, 1(550, he mariied Mary, wlui
had been the widow of William Mitchell since July 10, 1054 ; and
if he was then as old as twenty-two years and eight months, his

nmiitime adventure. In 1830, in comjjany with four other
white men and a party of natives, he fitted out at Oahu, one of
the Sandwich Island.s, sailed to and made a settlement on Peel
Island, one of the Bonin Ishinds, in the North Pacific. These
isliiiids liad been discovered and taken possession of by tlie

Japan has lj«eii of late years perniitted to resume her ancient
sovereignty over tlieni. The followinj^ account of the coloiiiz;i-
tion of the ishvnds by Savory and his associates is from '•('h;iiii-

group, was settled, in connection with the whaling business, liv
a motley colony, — an Englishman, an Italian, a Dane, two
Americans, and fifteen Sandwich-Islanders (five men and t<'n
women), under the auspices of a ' union jack.' "
The following was written by a memlier of Commou n-
Perry's eventful expedition to Japan in 1853, in Harper's Mai/a-
zine for March, 185H :* »'In 1830 a colony of Americans and

and the proverbial ingenuity of his countrymen in making the
best of the accidental circumstances of life, seems to be in a
highly prosperous condition. Savory contrives to raise such
abundant harvests of sweet potatoes, maize, onions, pine-
apples, bananas, and watermelons that he not only has enough
for himself and family, but a surplus to spare for the whalers
who frequent the Bonins for supplies. Whatever may be the
theoretical views of Savory upon the all-absorbing question of
the Maine law, he evidently practically disapproves of it, for he
has constructed a still and is famous for making the best rum

ter of Benjamin Halnh. He was in tlie Hixtli generation from
John Balch, who it is supposed came to Anu'rica with (iorges
in 1623, through Renjamin', FreelM)rn'', WilliamS William''.
(See "Boston Historical and Genealogical Register," Vol. IX.,
p. 233.) Like the Saverys, the Balches were eleaily an English
family of ancient Norman extraction, but dating in England
further back, for the name is in the illustrious »• lioll of Battle
Al)l)ey," the list of the principal chiefs and knights who
fought for William at Hastings, deposited by him in the Ablxjy
wliich he built on the Held of his immortal victory. In business
Mr. Savary was engaged in the manufacture of l»oot« and shoes,
on a very extended scale. After tilling many minor positions,
he was a meml)er of the Ma.ssacliusetts House of Representa-
tives four terms, from Bradford East Parish, and thence wai*
elected to the State Senate in 1H43, and was the candidate of
his party for the office of lieutenant-governor. The following
obituary is from a contemporary paper : —
" The death of Mr. Savary will lie felt as a public loss.
Though not a great talker, he was a man of marked ability,
possessed an influence of very considcM-able extent, and had
mingled quite largely in [jublic affaii's. He had Iwen several
times State senator, and was supported by the Democratic
party, to which he had always adhered, as its candidate for
Presidential elector, for lieutenant-governor, etc. At home,
in the midst of his family and his neighbors, the life of Mr.
Savary was veiy l)eautiful. He was never known to exhibit

Also the following: "In the sudden death of this active and
enterprising citizen, not only his family, hut (uir town and tlic
whole community have suffered an irreparable loss. A fe^liiifr
of sadness, not confined to any sect or party, has pervaded tlic
town from the moment it was known that he was seriously
ill. Kvery pei-son in active life in this ccmmiunity for ncailv
forty years has known and appreciated the business talents, ilic
open-hearted lilK-rality, and the social qualities of (iKulMii;
Savakv. and his demise has left a void in society which it will
take lonfif yeai-s t(» till. In all the relations of life and Imsiiicss
he was always the able an<l eHicieiit friend, or the fair and Imn-

wiis a Hrm and consistent Democrat, freely allowing to all an
honest difference of opinion." The church of which he was a

his loyal supporters. Her heart was large, her hospitality
abounding. The doors of her home were not more wi<lely (i|iiii

Kkh.mid- Savohv ( /^(/<('/V' ?), (hite of hirth unknown. At
Portsmouth, March, MW, hy Uev. Samuel Haven, D. D., he
married Ahigail llodrfden, in the record described as of Roches-
ter, N. II., but her descendants say of Farmington, whither he
soon removed with most of his children, for this was a second
marriage. One tradition gives his fii-st wife's name as Barker,
but another, apparently more reliable, names her Emily Mil-
ler, and says further that she was born at Gravely Ridffe,
Portsmouth, and that her father once owned a " handsoiue
estate " in England, which, descending to the eldest son,
passed out of the family. The dates of his birth, fii-st mar-
riage, and death have eluded all mj' researches.

Wii^MAM Savkky was 1)1)111 ill tlie city of IMiiladelphia in
tlie year 17'>0 ; received an e<liu;atioii in the principles of tiie
C'liiistian relijrion as professed hy the Society of Friends, and
was placeil with a Friend in the country to learn the husiiicss
of a tanner. Keturning to the city at the expiration of his
upprentic^eship, he for a time mingletl with gay and thonghtliss
companions, and led a life of ease, comfort, and pleasure, whir'i
he afterwards pathetically descrihed as a revolt fr-in the patiis
of purity and i)eace. Activity of spirits, loose discoui-se, and
noisy mirth were often resorted to as a means of drowning tiic
serious reflections that sometim»;s intruded themselves upon
liim. Social in his disposition and genial in his habits, lie was
no stranger to the tavern and other places of public diversion:
and, having a sense of humor and fondness' for the huli-
crous, he indulged a habit which in his after years he mui ii
deploied. of relating mirth-provoking tales, strained beyond tiic
strict triuh for the sake of embellishment and zest. He was
evidfiiitly by Jiature reverential, and extremely conscientious:
penitence followed more and more on the unsaiictihed enjoy-
ments of such a life as he was lei'ding, and nights of sorrow
often succeeded days of careless pleasure, and he was sometinus
favored to see in i)art the beauty of holiness, but fearful, if lif
should turn his ba(dv upon tiie world, of incurring the scorn nt
its votaries. .Vftcr many spiritual biiptisnis. in response to lii>

of all uneivilized and unchristian races, were dreadfully erml,
they were alive to sentiments of honor and gratitude, while
their white enemies, our common forefathers, rivalled them in
the ferocity of their reprisals, and were too ready to break
faith with them in peace or war.
Again in 1794, at the re(]uest of the Indians, and with tlie
cordial acquiescence of the government, the Society concluded to
send a delegation to assist ("ol. Pickering, as American com-
missioner, in negotiating a treaty with the Six Nation Indians

smifrht and obtained an interview with Jemima herself, lind-

which he exclaims, "Oh, wretched infatuation I that can

At
one
ivlifjfious meeting there were present a gftod many Indians who
had received some instructions in Christianity from missionaries,
and desired to open the worship by singing some psalms and
hymns, a wish that he deemed it advisable under the eircum-
>tances to accede to, on which he remarked that the melody and
softness of their voices in the Indian language, and the swt^et-
Mtss and harmony that attended it, exceeded by far anything of
the kind he had ever heard among white people, and that there
ill the woods the satisfaction of hearing these poor luitiitored

almost everything to gratify the eyes of the curious, the desires

tion of the gay and fashionable world : hut has little to satisfy
the soul longing after celestial riches." After travelling

At an age when a graver form of rebuke might have rept'ljid

later in the person of Marianne (ialton, afterwards Mrs.

whom all the isistei's derived n»ore or less benefit. In January.

I now (piote from her biographer her own accoiuit of the meet-

above: »* It was on the 4th of Ke1)ruary. 1798. that Wiilimn
Savery, an American Friend, who had come to Kugland on a
religious visit (as it is termed in the language of Friends',
in the course of his travels arrived at Xorwieh. He appeal-

iiiiiiuMliate ^ni(liiif,'s of tlie spirit of (rod. yet caiefnl lest from
;ui\ want iif watihfiilness and humility the youthful mind
slmuld be led into erior." Elizalteth's sister I{iehenda thus
ilcso'hes this eventfiU day: "On that day we seven sisters sat
a- usual in a row, under the gallery, at meeting. I sat hy
jlitsey: William Savery was there; we liked to have yearly
iiu'eting Friends to preaeh — it was a little change. Betsey
wiis generally rather restless at meeting, and on this day I
rinieml)er her very .smart boots were a great amusement to me ;
tlicy were purple, laeed with scarlet. At last William Savery
litgan to preach. His voice and manner were arresting, and
\vc all liked the sound: her attention became fixed, at last I saw
litr l^-gin to weep, and she lieeame a good deal agitated. As
soon as meeting was over, I liave a remendnance of her making
iicr way to the men's side of the . leeting, and having found my
father she begged him if she might dine w'ith William Savery
at the Cirovfc (the residence of her uncle. Joseph (Jurney), to
wiiich he soon consented, though rather stiiprised by the re-
(|iicst: we went home as usual, and. for a wonder, we wished
to gii again in the afternoon. I have imt the same clear remem-
Kiance of this meeting, but the next scene that has fastened
itself on my memory is our return home in the carriage.
I'xtsey sat in the middle, and astonished us all by the feeling
slic shoved. She wept most of the way home. The next
Illuming, William Savery came to breakfast, and ])reached to
oiir dear sister after l)reakfast, prophesying of the high and im-
jinrtant calling she would be led into. What she went through
ill her dwn iniml. I cannot sav, but the results were most pow-
• iful and must evident. Fidui that day her love of pleasure
iiiiil of the wiirld was gone." The impression on Klizabeth's

gotten while memory lasts). . . . To-day I have felt all my old irreliginiw
fetdings. My object shall be to search, try to do right, and If I am iiii-;-
taken, it is not my faidt. but the state I am now in makes it difficult in
act. What little religion 1 have felt has been owing to my giving awav
(juietly an(i 1)unibly to my feelings: but the more I reason uj)on it. the
more 1 get into a labyrinth of uncertainty, and my mind is so much inclini'd
to both scepticism and enthusiasm, that if I argue and doubt, I shall be w
total si-eptic: if, on the contrary, I give way to it. ami. as It were, wait for
religion, 1 maj' be led away. Hut I ho[ie that will not be the case : at ;ill
eviMits, religion, true and inicorrnpted. is of all comforts the greatest : it is
the rtrst stimulus to virtue; it is a support under every attViction. I am sure
it is better to be so iu an enthusiastic way th:in not to be so at all. for it is
a delighful enthusiasm."
Iiniiiediiitely after tlii.s, with the con.sent of her father, she

full and complete enjoyment of it. There are many formal professors ut

even rigid austerity in outward observances, and outside formalities, as

dark and gloomy side of religion, not having, in my humi le opinioti, their
minds siillicieiitly expanded by Just conceptions of the adorable love and
mercy of tiod: and both of these spread a discouraging report of the
good land, or of the way which our Heavenly Father has appointed for us
to obtiiin jmssession of it. I speak only my own experience, dear Klizabetli.
when I say, that whenever 1 have found my way more than usually strewn
with thorns, I have generally discovered, on a deep scrutiny of mylieart.
it has been the fruit of some open or secret departure from the paths of

APPENDIX B.
THOMAS SA VERY. — HIS FHIE ENGINE.
FROM THE "LIVES OF BOLTON AND WATl'." BY SASTUEL
SMILES, AUTHOR OF "SELF-HELl',' "INDUSTRIAL
BIOGRAPHY," ETC., REPUBLISHED IN THIS
VOLUME BY SPECIAL PERMISSION
OF THE AUTHOR.
The attempts hitherto made to invent a workinp steam
engine had not been attended with much success. The most
that could be said of them was, that, by demonstrating the
impracticable, they were gradually leading other experimenters
in the direction of the practicable. AUhougli the progress
seemed but slow, the amount of '>t result was by no means
inconsiderable. Men were becoming letter acquainted with
the elastic force of steam. The vacuum produced by its con-
densation in a closed vess« 1, and the consequent atmospheric
pressure, had been illustrat d by repeated experiments ; and
many separate and minor inventions, which afterwards jjroved
of great value, had been made, such as the four-way cock, the
safety valve, and the piston movin^ in a cylinder. The prin-
ciple of a true steam engine had not only been demonstrated,
but most of the separate parts of stich an engine had been con-
trived by various inventors. It seemed as if all that was now
wanting was a genius of more than ordinary power to combine
them in a complete and effective whole.
To Thomas Savery is usually accorded the merit of having
constructed the first actual working steam engine. Little is
known of his early history ; and various surmises have been

formed an to bin origin and calling. Some writers Imvc
described him tis the captain of a tin mine; others as a na\;il
captain ; while a third says he was an immigrant Fi-enchmaii.*
We are, however, enabled to state, from infonnation connniiii-
cated t)y his descendants, that he was the scion of a well-knnwn
Oevonsliire family. John Savery, of Hall)erton, or Harberion.
afterwards of Great Totness, was a gentleman of considemlilc
property in the reign of Henrj^ VIII. In the sixteenth ceii-
tury the Saverys became connected by maniage with tlie
Servingtons of Tavistock, another old county family, one of
whom served iw sheriff in the reign of Edward III. In loHs.
Christopher Savery, the head of the family, resided in Totness
Castle, of which he was the owner ; and for a period of neail y
forty years the town was represented in Parliament by raembe.-s
of the Savery family. Sir Charles f served as sheriff of Devon
in 1619. Though the Saverys took the side of Parliament in
resisting the despotic [mwer i).ssumed by Charles I., they never-
theless held a moderate coui-se, for we find Col. Savery, in
1643, attaching his name to the famous "round robin," pre-
sented to Parliament. Richard Savery, the youngest son of the
colonel, was father of Thomas Savery, the inventor of the " fire
engine." Other memliers of the Savery family, liesides Thomas,
were distinguished for their prosecution of physical science.
Thus we find from the family MSS., Servington Savery cor-
responding with Dr. Jurin, secretary to the Royal Society,
respectijig an improvement which he had made in the barome-
ter, and communicating the results of some magnetic experi-
ments of a novel kind, which he had recently performed.^

ither. The late Soi-
Iz., a brother of iiiv
Thomas Savery was bom at Shilston, near Modlmry, in
Devon, about the year 1650. Nothing is known of his early
life beyond that he was educated to the i)rofe8sion of a military
engineer, and in course of time duly reached the rank of
Trench-master. The corps of engineers was not, however,
regarded as an essential part of the militaiy force until the year
1787, when the officers ranked with those of the Royal Artil-
lery. The puiwuit of his profession, as well as his natural dis-
position, led Savery to the study of mechanics, and he liecame
well accomplished in the physical knowledge of his time. He
occupied much of his spare time in mechanical experiments and
in projecting and executing contrivances of various sorts.
One of his early works was a cloc"., still pi-e-served in the
family,* which until lately kept very good time; and when
last repaired by a watchmaker of Modbury was pronounced to
be a piece of very good work, of a peculiar construction, dis-
playing much ingenuity.
Another of Savery's early contrivances was a machine for
polishing plate glass, for which he obtained a patent. He was
occupied about the same time with an invention for rowing
ships in calms by the mechanical apparatus subsequently de-
scribed in his treatise entitled " Navigation Improved." He
there relates how it troubled his thoughts and racked his
brains to find out this invention, which he accomplished after
many experiments conducted " with gi-eat charge." He nat-
urally set much value on the product of so much study and
labor; and he was proportionately vexed on finding that others
regarded it with indifference. He professed to have had
" promises of a great reward from the court if the thing would
answer the end for which he proposed it " ; but instead of a
reward, Savery received only contumely and .scorn. He attril>-
uted his want of success to the ill -humor of the then surveyor
of the navy, who reported against his engine, because, said he,
* It la now in the possession of Capt. Lowe, of the Twenty-Hlxth Regiment, whose
grand-aunt was a .Miss Savery, of ShiUton.

" it's the nature of some men to deciy all inventions that are
not the product of their own brains." He only asked for a fair
trial of his paddle-boat^ believing in its efficiency and utility ;
declaring that it was not his " fondness for his own bratt that
made him think so," but the favorable opinions of several very
judicious person^ in town, that encouraged him to urge his
invention for public adoption.
The invention in question consisted of a boat mounted with
two paddle-wheels, one on each side, worked by a capstim
placed in the centre of the vessel. Savery says he was led to
make the invention through the difficulty which had been
experienced in getting ships in motion so as to place them
alongside of the enemy in sea-fights, especially during calm
weather. He thought that if our fighting ships could be math
to move independent of the winds, we should thereby possess
an advantage of essential consequence to the public service.
"The gentlemen," said he, "that were on the Brest expedition
with my Lord Caermarthen. must know how useful this engine
would have been ; ior had the}' had them there on board each
ship, they might have moved themselves where they had
pleased." He also urged the usefulness of the engine for
packdt-bosits, bomb-vessels, and sloops, and especially for use in
sea-fights, in bringing off disabled ships. When he had com-
pleted his invention, he took steps to bring it under the notice
Mr. Secretaiy Trenchard. The plan was shown to the king,
who thought highly of it, and referred Savery to the Admiralty.
When he went there he was told that he should have gone to
the Navy Board. At the Navy Board he was told that certain
objections to the adoption of his scheme had already been sent
to the Admiralty.
Savery, having ascertained that the surveyor was himself the
author of the objections, proceeded to discuss the matter with
him. But the surveyor was not a man to be argued out of his
views by an inventor ; and he shut up Savery with the remark,
" What have interloping people, that have n concern with us.

to do to pretend to contrive or i.ivent thingM for us?" Savery
was highly indignant at the official snub, and publinhed the
conversation in his treatise. '.' Though one has found out,"
said he, " an improvement as great to shipping as turning to
windward or the Compass, unless you can sit round the Green
Table in crutched Friars, your invention is danmed, of course " ;
and the testy inventor concluded : " All I have now to add
is, that whoever is angry with the Truth for appearing in mean
language may as well be angiy with an honest man for his
plain habit ; for, indeed, it is as common for Lyes and Nonsense
to be disguised by a jingle of words as for a Blockhead to be
hid by abundance of Peruke." *
Notwithstanding his rebuff by the na\y surveyor, Savery
proceeded to fit up a small yacht with his engine, and tried an
experiment with it on the Thames, in sight of many thousands
of spectators. The experiment was, in his opinion, entirely
successful. " All people," said Savery, " seemed to like the
demonstration of the use of my engine, the public newspapers
speaking very largely of it, yet all to no imrpose." Savery had
already expended jC200 in his exjjeriments on the paddle boat,
and was not disposed to go any further, now that government
had decided not to take up the invention. Indeed, its practical
utility was doubtful. The power of the wind was, after all»
better than hai.d labor for working large ships ; and it con-
tinued to m jntain its superiority until the steam engine was
brought to perfection.
It is curious that it should not have occurred to Savery, who
invented both a paddle-wheel boat and a steam engine, to com-
bine the two in one machine ; but he was probably sick of the
former invention which had given him so much vexation and
annoyance, and gave it up in disgust, leaving it to Papin, who
saw both his inventions at work, to hit upon the grand idea of
* " NaTlKStlon Improved; or the art of rowing 8hl;ij of all ratus In calniB, with ■• more

or against wind and tide.
It i(t probable that Savery was led to enter upon his next iuid
most important invention by the circumstance of his havintr
been brought up in the neighborhood of the mining diHtrids.
and being well aware of the great difficulty exi)erienced by tin-
miners in keeping their pits clear of water, to enable them to
proceed with their underground operations. The early tin min-
ing of Cornwall was for the most part what was called "strfam
work," being confined mainly to washing and collecting tlie
diluvial deposits of the ore. Mines usually grew out of thcst*
stream works ; the ground was laid opeit at the back of thu
lodes, and the ore was dug out as from a quarry. Some if
these old openings, called " coffins," are still to be met with in
different parts of Cornwall. The miners did not venture much
l)elow the surface, for fear of the water, by which they were
constantly liable to 1m; drowned out. But as the upper strata
became exhausted, they were tempted to go deeper in search of
the richer ores. Shafts were sunk to the lodes, and they were
followed underground. Then it was that the difficulty of water
had to be encountered and overcome ; for unless it could be
got riJ of, the deeper ores of Cornwall were as so much buried
treasure. When the mines were of no great depth it Was pos-
sible to bale out the water l)y hand buckets; but this expedient
was soon exhausted, and the jiower of hoi-ses was then em-
ployed to dmw the buckets. Where the lodes ran along ii
hillside, it was possible, by driving an adit from a lower point,
to let off the water by natural drainage. Hut this was not often
found practicable, and in most eases it had to Ije raised directly
from the shafts by artificnal methods. As the quantity in-
creased, a whim or gin moving on a perpendicular axis was
employed to draw the water. An improvement on this was the
rack and chain pump, consisting of an endless iron chain
mounted with kiioKs of doth, stiffened with leather, inclosed in

of which rested in the well of the mine. The rhiiin wiw turned
round by a wheel two or three feet in diameter, UHunlly worked
by men, and the IcuoIm with whiuh it wok mounted brought up
a (itream of water according to the dimeniiionM of the pump.
Another method, considereil the most effectual of all, wiw
known as »» the water wheel and IkjIh," coiiMiHting of a powerful
pump, or series of pumjM, worked by a water wheel. But al-
though there is no want of water underground in Cornwall,
and no want of rain al)ove ground, there are few or no great
water-courses capable of driving machinery* ; Ijcsides, as the
mines are for the most part situated on high ground, it will l)e
obvious that water power was available to onl; a very limited
extent for this purpose.
It is also worthy of notice that the early mining of Cornwall
was carried on by men of small capital, principally by working-
men, who were unable to expend any large amount of money
in forming artificial reservoirs, or in erecting the jMiwei-ful
])umping machinery necessary for keei>ing the deeper mines
clear of water. The Cornish miners, like the Whitstable oyster
dredgers, woi-ked upon the principle of co-operation. This doc-
trine, now tivught iVH a modern one, was practised by them
almost time out of mind. The owner of the land gave the use
of his land, the adventurers gave their money, and the minei-s
their lal)or ; all sharing in the jjroceeds according to ancient
custom. For the use of his land, and for the oiv taken from
the mine, the lord usually took a sixth part; but in considera-
tion of draining the mine, and in oitler to encourage the adven-
ture he was often content with an eighth, or it might Ihj only a
tenth part of the produce. The miiiei-s, on their part, agreed to
divide in the proportions in which thej' took part in the work.
Their shares of the ore raised were meiusured by kirrows, and
parcelled into heaps ; "and it is surprising," says Borlase, "to
see how rejvdy and exact the reckonei-s are in dividing, though
oftentimes they can neither write nor read. The parcels l)eing

hit of Htick or turf stuck up in the middle or side of the pili' :
and when these marks are laid on, t)ie parcels may continue
there half a year or more unmoleste*!." •
These were, however, the early and primitive days of mining',
when the o{M>rations wei-e carried on comjMiratively near tlu-
surface, and the capital invested in pumping machinery wius
comparatively small in amount. As the miners went deeptT
and deeper into the ground, and the richer lodes were stiiiik
and followed, the chai-acter of mining became considerahly
changed. Larger capitals were required to sink the shaftn and
keep them clear of water until the ore was reached ; and a new
class of men, outside the mining districts, was induced to ven-
ture their money in the mines as a speculation. Yet the sys-
tem al)ove described, thougli greatly modified by altered cir-
cumstances, continues to this day ; and the mining of Cornwall
continues to be carried on mainly upon the co-opemtive or joint-
i|tock system.
When the surface lodes l)ecame exhausted, the necessity of
employing some more efficient method of pumping the water
became more and more urgent. In one pit after another the
miners were lieing drowned out, and the operations of an impor-
tant branch of national industry were in danger of Iteing
brought to a complete standstill. It was under these circum-
stances that Capt. Savery turned his attention to the contriv-
ance of a more powerful engine for the raising of water ; and
after various experiments, he became persuaded that the most
effective agency for the purpose was the power of steam.
It is very probable that he wai? aware of the attempts that had
been previously made in the same direction, and he may have
gathered many useful and suggestive hints from the Marquis of
Worcester's " Centuiy " ; but as that book contiiined no plans
or precise definitions of the methods by which the Marquis had

How Saverv wiw led to the study of the |M»wer of Htenm has
Iteen difTert>ntly stated. DeHa^ulient nayH hix own account waM
tliiH: that having drunk a fliiMk of Florence at a tavern, and
thrown tlie empty tliiHk on the Hru, he called for t UiMin of
water to waxh \\in handH, and |M;r(>eiving that the little wine
left in the Hattk had changed to Hteam, he took the vchhcI hy
the neck and plunged itM mouth into the water in the iNUtin,
when, the Hteam l)eii)g condeuHed, the water \yaM inunediately
driven up into the fla*«k hy the presstire of tlie atmoHpiiere.
DeMaguliers <liHlielieved this account, hut admits that Savery
made many exjierimentH upon the powers of steam, an<l eveiit-
nally succeeded in making sevend engines " which raiseil water
very well." Switzer, who was on intimate terms with Savery,
gives another account. He says the first hint from which he
took the engine was from a tobacco pipe, Avhich he immei'sed in
water to Avash or cool it, when he discovered hy the rarefaittion
of the air in the tube, by the heat or steam, and the gnivitatiou
•or pressure of the exterior air on the condensation of the latter,
that the water was made to spring through the tulie of the pij>e
in a most surprising manner;-)' and that this phenomenon in-
duced him to search for the rationale, and to prosecute a series
of experiments which issued in the invention of his tire engine.
However Savery may have obtained his fiiwt idea of the
«xpansion and condensation of steam, and of atmospheric pres-
sure, it is certain that the subject occupied his attention for
many years. He had the usual difficulties to encounter in
dealing with a wholly new and untried power, in contriving the
*The abiurd story l« told by Dr. Desagullert (" Experimental Plillottophr," II., va)
that Savery, having read the Marquis's book, " was the flrat to put In practice the rnlKlng

Marquis's engine, "the better to conr«al the matter, bought up all the Maniulsof Won^es-
ter's books that Ue could purchase In Pater Noster Row and elsewhere and buriieil 'em In
the presence of the gentleman, his friend, who told me this." It need scarcely lie Aald
that It was very unlikely that Savery should have attempted thus m conceal an Invention

ht'. says, " to en<!ounter the oddest and almost inMUi)erab)e ditli-
culties, I spared neither time, pains, nor money till I had alj^n-
lutely coiKjuered them."
Having Huthciently matured his design, he had a model of
his new " tire engine," as he termed it, made for exhibition
Ixjfore the king at Hampton Court in 1698. William HI., who
was hiniseli of a mechanical turn, was highly pleased with the
iiigenuity displayeci in Savery's engine, as well as with it.s
eH^cient action, and he permitted the inventor to dedicate to
hint "'Ihe Miner's Friend," containing the first published
description of his inventioi:. The king also promoted Savery's
a]>plication for a pattMit, which was secured in July, 1698,* and
an Act confirming it was passed in the following year.
Savery's next step was to bring h's invention under the notice
of the Koyal Society, whose oi)inion on all matters of science
was listi-'ned to with profound respect. He accordingly ex-
hibited his model at a meeting held on the 14th of June, 1699,
and it is recorded in the minutes of that date that '^ Mr. Savery
entertained the Society with showing his engine to raise water
by the force of fire. He was thanked for she 'ng the experi-
ment, which succeeded according to expectation, and was
approved of." The inventor presented the Society with a dmw-
itig of his engine, accompanied by a description which was
printed in the " Transactions." f
Savery next endeavored to bring his invention into practical
use, Imt this was a matter of much greater difiiculty. So many
8(!henies with a like objft had been brought out and failed,

that the mining intei-est came to i-ejjard new piojei'ts with
iiuTeasing suspicion. To pei'suade them that he wjim no mere
projector, but the inventor of a pmoiicable working engine,
Savery wrote and published his " Miner's Friend." " I am not
verj' fond," he there said, " of lying under the scandal of a Iwre
projector, and therefoi-e present you here with a draught of my
machine, and lay Iwfore you the uses of it, and leave it to your
consideration whether it be worth your while to make use of it
or no."
Inventoi-s l)efore Savery "s time were wont to make a great
mystery of their inventions ; but he proclaimed that there was
no mystery whatever about his machine, and he Iwlieved that
the more clearl}' it was luulei'stood, the l)etter it would l)e
appreciated. He acknowledged that there had lieen many pre-
tendei-s to new inventions of the same sort, who had excited
hopes which had never been fulfilled : but this invention which
he had made was a thing the uses of which were capable of
actual demonstration. He urged that the old methods c»f rais-
ing water could not be earned further ; and that an entirely
new power was needed to enable the miner to prosecute his
underground lalx)i-s. " I fear," said he, " that whoever by the
old causes of motion pretends to improvements within the last
century does betray his knowledge and judgment. For more
than a hundred yeare since, men and hoi-ses would raise by
engines then made as much water as they have ever done since,
or I believe ever will, or, accordin£, to the law of nature, ever
can do; jvnd, though my thoughts have l)een long employed
about water works, I should never have pictended to any in-
vention of that kind, had I not happily found out this new,
but yet a much stronger and cheaper force or cause of motion
than any before made use of." He proceeded to show how eivsy
it was to work his engine, boys of thirteen or fourteen yeare
being able to attend and work it to perfection after a few days'
teaching, and how he had at length, after great dilticulty,
instructed handicraft artificers to ccmstruct the engine according

to his design, so that after much experience, said he, " they aie
become such master of the thing that they oblige themselves
to deliver what engines they make exactly tight and fit for ser-
vice, and as such I dare warrant them to anybody that has occa-
sion for them."* Saveiy's engine, as described by himself, ci/n-
sisted of a series of Iwilei-s, condensing vessels, and tubes. ItA
principal features were two large cylindrical vessels, which
were alternately filled with steam from an adjoining boiler, and
with cold water from thj well or mine out of which the water
had to be raised. When either of the hollow vessels was filled
with steam, and then suddenly cooled by a dash of cold water, a
vacuum was thereby created, and, the vessel being closed at tlie
top and open at the lx)ttom, the water was at once forced up
into it from the well by the pressure of the atmosphere. The
st«am being then let into the vessel from the top, pressed upon
the surface of the water, and foroed it out at the bottom by
another pipe (its return into the well being prevented by a
clack), and so up the perpendicular pii)e which opened into the
outer air. The second vessel l)eing treated in the same manner,
the same result followed ; and thus, by alternate filling and
forcing, a continuous stream of water was poured out from the
upper opening. The whole of the labor required to work the
engine was capable of being performed by a single man, or
even by a boy, after very little teaching.
Although Savery's plans and description of the arrangement
and working of his engines are clear and explicit, he does not
give any information a.s to their proportions, beyond stating
that an engine employed in raising a column of water three and
a half inches in diameter, sixty feet high, requires a fireplace
twenty inches deep. Si)eaking of their performances he says :
" I have known in Cornwall a work with three lifts of about
eighteen feet each, lift an'l carry a Scinch bore, that cost 42«.

of his invention, whidi on many mines wouhl amount to

p(»wer of Ins engine. Savery* was accustomed to compare it with
the (juantity of work that liorses could perform, and hence he
introduced the term •' hoi-sc-i»ower,"' wliich is still in use.
Although, in the treatise referred to, Savery descrilnis an
engine with two furnaces, the drawing which he presented to
the Koyal Society showed only one ; and it ajjpeai-s that in
another of his designs he sliowed only one cylindrical vessel
instead of two. In order to exhibit the working of his engine
on a larger scale tlian in the model, he i)roceeded to erect one
in a potter's house at Lamln'th, where, Switzer says, though it
was a small engine, the water struck up the tiles and forced its
way through the roof in a manner that surprised all the specta-
toi's. Switzer mentions other engines erected aftci Savery's
designs for the raising of water at Camden House and Sion
House, which proved quite successful. The former', he says,
was the j)lainest and best i)roportioned engine he had seen ; it
had only a single condensing vessel ; and " though but a small
one in comparison with many otheix of the kind that are made
for coal works, it is sufficient for any reasonable family, and
other uses required for it in watering middling gardens."*
Four receivei-s full of water, or ecpial to tifty-two gallons, were
raised every minute, or 3,110 gallons in the hour; whilst, in
the case of the larger engines with double receivei-s, 6,240 gal-
lons an hour might easily Ik" raised. The cost of the smaller
engine was about tifty pounds, and the consumption of coal
about a bjishel in the twenty-four houi-s, supposing it was kept
constantly at work during that tinu'.

The uses to which Savery proposed to apply his engine wi r-
various. One was to pump water into a reservoir, from whi( 1,.
by falling on a water wheel, it might produce a contiuunin
rotary motion ; anotVier was to raise water irto cisterns for tlir
supply of gentlemen's houses, and for use in fount^iins, and as
an extinguish*, in civse of fii-e ; a third was to raise water tor
the supply of towns ; and a fourth to drain fens and marsh lands.
But the most important, in the inventor's estimation, was its
employment in clearing drowned mines and coal-pits of water.
He showed how water might l)e raised from deep mines hy
using several engines, placed at different depths, one over tin-
other. Thus by tiiree lifts, each of 80 feet, water might In-
raised from a mine about 240 feet, then considered a very
great depth. From Saverj-'s own accounts, it is evident that
several of his engines were erected in Cornwall ; and it is said
that the firat was tried at Huel Vor, or " The Great Work in
Breage," a few miles from Helstone, then considered the richest
tin mine in the county. The engine was found to be an im-
provement on the methods fonnerly employed for draining ilw
mine, and sent the miners to considerably greater depths. But
the great pressure of steam required to force up a high column
of water was such as to strain to the utmostrthe imperfect Iwil-
ers and receivei-s of those early days ; and the frequent
explosions which attended its use eventually led to its discon-
tinuance in favor of the superior engine of Newcoraen, whicii
was shortly after invented.
Savery also endeavored to introduce his engine in the coal-
mining districts, but without success, and for the same reason.
The demand for coal in connection with the iron manufacture
having greatly increased in the count}' of Stafford, and the coal
which lay nearest the surfivce having been for the most part
" won," the mining interest l)ecame very desirous of obtaining
some more efficient means of clearing the pits of water, in order
to send the minei-s deeper into tlie ground. Windlass and

and all sorts of contrivances had lieen tried, and the limit of
their imwem hi»d l)een reached. Tlu' pits were fast l>econiing
drowned out, and the iron nuwtei-s liegan to fear lest their manu-
facture .should l)econu' lost through want of fuel. Under these
circumstances they were ready to hail the invention of Capt.
Savery, which promised to relieve them of tlieir ditticulty. He
was .icconlingly invited to erect one of his engines over a coal
mine at the Hroadwatei-s, near Wednesbury. The influx of
water, however, proved too nnu-li for the engine ; the springs
were so many and so strong, that all the means which Savery
could employ failed to clear the mine of water. To increase
the forcing power he increased the pressure of steam ; but
neither boiler nor receiver could endure it, and the steam " tore
the engine to pieces ; so that, after much time, labor, and ex-
pense, Mr. Savery gave up the undertaking, and the engine was
laid aside as useless." *
He was no more successful with the engine which he erected
at York buildings t<i pumji water from the 'J'hames for the supply
of the western parts of London. Bradley^ says that to incresise its
power he doubled every part, but "it was liable to so many dis-
orders, if a single mistake happened in the working of it, that at
length it wiis looked upon as a useless piece of work, and re-
jected."f Ssvvery's later engines thus lost him much of the credit
which he had gained by those of an earlier and simpler construction.
It Ijecame clear that their application wa.s very limited, 'i'liey
involved much waste of fuel, through the condensation of the
hot steam pressing upon the surface of the cold water, previous
to the expulsion of the latter from the vessel ; and eventually
tlieir use was confined to the pumping of water for fountains
and the supply of gentlemen's houses, and in some cases to the
raising of water for the purpose of working an ovei'shot water
wheel. Various attempts were made to improve the engine by
liradley, by Papin, by Desaguliei-s, and otheis ; but no great

otlice of treasurer of the Hospital for Sick and Wounded Seamen.
Various lettei-s and documents are still to be found in tin-
Transport Office, Somei-set House, addressed to him in that
capacity.! In 1714 he was further indebted to Prince Geo 'gc
for the appcintment of surveyor to the waterworks at Hampton
Coiirt ; but he did not live to enjoy it, as he died in the coui'se
of the following year. He is said to have accumulated consid-
erable property, which he bequeathed to his wife, together with
•all interest in his inventions. His will was executed on the
day of his death, the loth of ^lay, 1715, and was proved four
da^iH after in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury. He there
described himself as " of the parish of Saint Margaret, at West-
minster, Esquire." His widow hei"self died before all his effects
were administered. There was a considerable amount of un-
claimed stock which the Savery family were prevented from
claiming, as it had passed to the >vidow ; and it has since been
transferred to the credit of the national debt.

Page 9. It is, however, likely that the nevonsliire family
had a good standing in that county long before the time of
John Savery, of Halberton; for as early as A. I). 1400, John
Savery received the tonsure {tomoiratux ext), i. e., was admitted
to holy orders at !>n ordination held Ity Stafford, Bishop of
Kxeter, at Totnes. In 153i)aiid 168«) a son of John of Halber-
ton was mayor of Totnes, and the family possessed Totnes
Castle until 1691. Notwithstanding the statement of Risdon
in his "Survey of Devon," that this family "came originally
out of Brittany." it is possible that they are descended frcmi a
Savery of Wiltshire, through a Inaiich extending first into Son*-
ersetshire, winch lies between Wilts and Devon, and which
gave a scholar of the name to Winchester School in 1483, as
mentioned on page 7.
Pages 11 and 137. Charles Lamb was born Feb. 10, 1775,
and Hester Savory, May 31, 1777. She married July 1, 1802,
Charles Dudley, merchant, of Chester Place, Lambeth, at
Peter's Court, St. Martin's Lane, and died as Hester Dudley,
Feb. 9. 1803, and was interre I at Biinhill Field, the {3th of
the same month. In March, 1803, Lamb wrote to his friend
Manning, then in Paris:

In the notes to Cation Ainger's edition of " Lamb's Letters,"
Canon Ainger says :
" Miss Kmina Savory, of Blacklioath, a niece of Hester Savory, has
supplied me with a few >)tographli-al (iftails; ; 'She. (Hester) was tiie eldest
sister of my father, A. B. Savory, and lived with him and his sisters, Anna
and Martha, .it I'entonville. She married Charles Stoke Dudley, and died
eight months after her marriage, of fever. I possess a miniature portrait
of her which I greatly value. My mother used to say that her beaut}' con-
sisted more in expression than in regularity of features."
Canon Ainger adds that he had seen tlie i)ortrait, and after
the lyric it was anything but disappointing, showing a bright-
eyed gypsy face, such as we know so well frcjni the cativius of
Reynolds.
A. B. (full natne Adey Bellamy) Savory was long the head
of the great firtn of goldsmiths at Cornhill. It is said that Lamb
had a fellow-clerk with him in the India oihce named Savory.
Pages 11 and 57. The Walloons, like the Welsh, are relics
of the original Celtic race. But the war waged by the Saxon
itivaders in South Britaiti was tnore one of extermitiatioii than
that which resulted from the Teittonic invasions of Gaul.
Hence the Celtic blood prevails much more in France than in
England.
Pages 16, 17, and 19. A difficttlty in identifying this
Thoniiia and Anthony with these two (supposed) grandsons of
Robert atid Joan Savery reqitires notice, The first recorded
birth of a child to Thotuas of Plymouth was in Match, 1644-5,
when the two Thomases, born at Ilaiinington, would be forty-
two and forty years old respectively. Early marriages were
the rule it) those days. I have Iwen utiable to get anything
from most of the Wiltshire and tieighboring records. Thomas
and Atithony, mentiotied in Robert's will in 1598, were probably
younger brothers, there being one older tiian they, Richard:
and it may l)e that a Thotuas and an Anthony descetided from
one of these brothers, and, inheriting their tiatnes, catue to Plytn-
oiith, while the Anthony who was l)aptized .Ian. 20, 1605-6, was

appointed to see to the proper observance of the laws, especially
those relating to the Sablmth, public worship, etc., and to warn
and report <lelin(iueiits; and was so called from one who in

Piige o8. While the work was going through the press I
was deeply grieved to hear of the death of l{ichard Guriiey
Savery, the younger, which occurred early in Decembei', 18!i2.
A contemporary paper says of him:
'• Me was born in 'I'abergand (Mlucattul at Whitestowii Seminary. In 1S83
lie entered the ofliee of W. E. Scripture, of Home, and began the study of
law. In 1885 he went with (ieoi'ge I{. Cornish, now of Home, to Heatriee,
Xeb., and opened a law ofliee. Mr. Savery was admitted to the bar while
there. Aftir nimaining there al)oat two year.*, ht! returned to Oneida
(Jounty and opened an otllee in Taberg. Some two years ago he was ap-
pointed a Tnited States gov<'rnnient land agent. His lieadquarters have
been at Portland, Ore., but he has travelled extensively through ('ali-
fornla, New Mexico, I'tah, and other parts of the West and Southwest.
Xot long ago he was promoted to chief inspector of land agents for tlie
section of which Portland is the headquarters. H(> was a very genial man.
and had many friends who will be surprisecl and pained at the news of his
death."

no dotiht tiiat John, the attmney, and his wife Elizabeth, after-
wards the testatrix, whose will is in the ai)2>t'ndix, were the
memliers of the Society of Friends, John and Elizalieth Sa-
very, who were fined, the foinier in 1074 and lt)78. He may
have embraced the doctrines of the Friends after he became an
attorney, for the practice of the law was not a favorite pursuit
with tlie early Friends, although in recent times the secular
avocation and religions profession have l)een jointly honored in
the person of Sir Edward F'ry, late Lord Justice of the Court
of Appeal in England. John, grantor in tiie deed of lt}44,
was very likely the fatlier of the attorney.
