 INTRODUCTION 
 
 It was not the original intention to compile this genealogy, but so much 
 of the early history was obtained for the inscription on the Tifft monument 
 erected in May, 1895, ^ n Nassau, N. Y., that it was determined to arrange 
 in as compact a form as possible, all the facts learned about the various 
 descendants, in order to preserve the same for future reference. 
 
 The record, though incomplete, represents a great deal of labor and 
 study, and is the result of extended examinations of town histories, various 
 family records and genealogies, and also extensive correspondence with the 
 numerous descendants of John Tifft. 
 
 An effort has been made to ascertain when the Tiffts came from Eng- 
 land and from what part, but so far without success. Two brothers are 
 found in this country; William, in Boston, in 1638, who died leaving only 
 one daughter, and John, of Portsmouth, R. I., in 1655, who is the ancestor 
 of the Rhode Island Tiffts. 
 
 The name " Tefft" or " Teft " is Saxon, and means "a piece of ground 
 where there has been a house." (Etymological Dictionary of family and 
 Christian names by William Arthur, A. M.) 
 
 The name at different times in Colonial Records is variously spelled, 
 Teffe, Teft, Tefft, Tieft, Tift and Tifft, all pertaining to the same general 
 family. 
 
 The following is an abstract from a letter written by Rev. Benjamin F. 
 Tefft, D. D., LL. D., to Parker W. Tefft of Chicago. 
 
 "While in London on a mission for the United States Government, I 
 employed some one to hunt up the family name in England. The result 
 was the following : The family originally belonged to the French Hugue- 
 nots, when the spelling of the name was " Thevet," and pronounced as if 
 spelled " Tevay." The family with many others were driven out of France
 
 by the St. Bartholomew massacre, and came to England. The Teffts of this 
 country undoubtedly came from England. Now, when you take the name 
 Thevet with its French pronunciation, and put it beside the name of William 
 Teffe, how natural the transition and then how easy to change the final e to 
 t, and produce a name of one syllable and easily pronounced Tifft." 
 
 The above mentioned Benjamin F. Tefft was born in Floyd, N. Y., 
 August 20, 1813, and died a few years ago in Bangor, Maine. He was a 
 prominent Methodist Episcopal clergyman, author and teacher. In 1843 
 he was Professor of Greek and Hebrew Languages in the Indiana Asbury 
 University; in 1846, he was editor of the Ladies' Repository, and of the 
 publications of the Western Book Concern. In 1859 he re-entered the 
 itinerant work of the church, and received appointments in Maine. In 1861 
 he was appointed Chaplain to the First Regiment of Maine Cavalry, Army 
 of the Potomac. In 1862, Consul of the United States to Stockholm, and 
 acting Minister to Sweden. In 1864, Commissioner of Immigration from 
 the north of Europe to the State of Maine. In 1874, representative from 
 Penobscot County to the State Legislature. Dr. Tefft was a member of the 
 Geographical and Statistical Society of New York, and of the Society of 
 Arts of England. 
 
 The system of numbering is as follows: 
 
 Beginning with John, the names are all numbered consecutively; his 
 oldest child being number 2, and so on. This consecutive numbering 
 precedes the name, and the Roman characters denote the order of births in 
 each family. The small figure following the name denotes the generation. 
 
 For example taking 186 (II) John 6 (who is the descendant that came 
 to Nassau, N. Y., in 1793); going back until we come to this number 186 
 (II) 6 in the consecutive numbering, we find him to be the second child of 
 105 (V) 5 , Robert; following backward still further, we find 105 (V) 5 to be 
 the fifth child of 60 (I) John Jr. 4 ; who is found to be the first child of 32 
 (I) John 3 , and he in turn is found to be the first child of 2 (II) 2 Samuel; 
 who is the second child of John 1 , the original settler in Rhode Island.

 "was admitted to inhabit 24, December, 1638," and to buy the 
 house of Jacob Wilson Sawyer, which was sold him the same day. 
 
 William Teffe and wife joined the church August 2, 1640.

 Pacts concerning (I) John 1 Teffb. 
 
 The first account of him is a freeman in 1655. The freeman 
 (in Anglo-Saxon times) was strictly the freeholder and as a free 
 member of the community to which he belonged, became insep- 
 arable from the possession of his " holding " in it. It was this 
 sharing in common land which marked off the freeman from the 
 unfree man, the tiller of land which another owned. 
 
 Rhode Island required a freehold estate of $134, for suffrage, 
 and permitted the eldest son of said estate to vote. 
 
 1662, Nov. 22. He and wife Mary sold seven acres to Rob- 
 ert Shink of Newport. 
 
 1671, May. Kingstown. His name was recorded as an 
 inhabitant of Pettaquamscolt.

 quamscott. To wife Mary, all cattle, viz : two oxen, two cows, 
 two yearling steers, eight swine kind, a ewe and a lamb, and all 
 other movables. To son Samuel Tifft, 2s. To son Joshua, is, 
 To daughter Tabitha Tefft, is. and an iron pot after wife's 
 decease. Debts to the sum of^i, 35. to be paid equally by 
 son-in-law Samuel Wilson and son Joshua Tift. 
 
 1676, Jan. 26. The death of John 1 is alluded to in a letter 
 from Captain James Oliver, (written at the house of Richard 
 Smith in Narragansett). He first mentions that Joshua Tefft 
 son of John 1 had married a Wampanoag. That he shot twenty 
 times at the English in the Narragansett fight ; was captured 
 and executed at Providence, and then declared that he was a 
 "sad wretch, who had never heard a sermon but once these 
 fourteen years," and that "his father going to recall him, lost 
 his head and lies unburied. (See 4 (III) Joshua, 2 son of John. 1 
 
 1679, Nov. 19. His widow signed in satisfaction of her 
 thirds, her signature being witnessed by Tabitha Gardner.

 Facts concerning Joshua Tefft. 
 
 1676, January 14. He was brought in captive to Providence 
 as related in a letter of same date written by Roger Williams to 
 Governor Leveret of Massachusetts: "This night I was requested 
 by Captain Fenner and other officers of our town, to take the 
 examination and confession of an Englishman who hath been 
 with the Indians before and since the fight. His name is 
 Joshua Tift, and he was taken by Captain Fenner this day at an 
 Indian house, half a mile from where Captain Fenner's house 
 (now burned) did stand." He was asked how long he had 
 been with the Narragansetts, and answered twenty-seven days, 
 more or less. In answer to the question how he came amongst 
 them, he said he was at his farm a mile and a half from Puttuck- 
 
 16
 
 quamscot where he hired an Indian to keep his cattle, himself 
 proposing to go to Rhode Island, but the day he prepared to go 
 a party of Indians came and told him he must die. He begged 
 for his life and promised he would be servant to the Sachem for 
 life, and his life was given him as such slave. He was carried 
 to the fort where were eight hundred fighting men. His eight 
 cattle were killed. He said he was in the fort and waited on his 
 master, the Sachem, till he was wounded, of which wound the 
 Sachem died nine days afterward. 
 
 1676, January 18. He was executed, his answers obviously, 
 not being satisfactory to the examiners, but it may still be 
 doubted whether much that is related of him by the old chroni- 
 clers is more than fable. It was asserted by these that he was of 
 Providence, which was not the fact, though he was captured 
 there, and that he turned Indian and married a squaw, 
 renounced his religion and nation, and fought against the 
 whites. Probably the closing sentence of one of those narrators 
 was considered excellent religion by some of the readers. "As 
 to his religion, he was found as ignorant as a heathen, which no 
 doubt caused the fewer tears to be shed at his funeral."

 Facts concerning Thomas Mumford. 
 
 Thomas Mumford's first wife, Abigail, was murdered about 
 two weeks previous to May 28, 1707, by a negro slave belonging 
 to him, and the body of the negro having since been found 
 upon the shore of Little Compton, (he having drowned himself 
 as was believed to prevent being taken alive) it was ordered by 
 the Assembly that his head, legs and arms be cut from the body 
 and hung up in some public place near Newport, R. I., and his 
 body to be burned to ashes, that it may be "something of a 
 terror to others from perpetrating of the like barbarity for the 
 future."

 In August, 1882, and July, i89i,W. S. Tifft of Buffalo, N.Y., 
 visited the old Tifft homestead in Exeter, R. I. He went by 
 way of Wickford, which used to be called Updike New Town, 
 and passed the ten-rod road his father used to talk so much 
 about. It is mostly walled on either side. The country is 
 rough and grown up to second and third growth timber. 
 The farm is stony and unproductive, and is occupied by a 
 Baptist minister 75 years old, who rides four miles on horseback 
 each Sunday, and preaches at two appointments; receiving $2 
 for his day's services. He had a housekeeper by the name of 
 Tifft. The farm has never been sold for more than John Tifft 
 received for it in 1793. 
 
 The family cemetery was found on the farm, but most of the 
 names were defaced by time, there being only a few marble 
 stones. But the names of Jonathan and Sprague Tefft could be 
 read. 
 
 The Removal of 
 
 186 (E) John Tifft 6 from Exeter, R. I., to 
 Rensselaer Co., N. Y. 
 
 Note: This branch of the family always spelled their name 
 Tifft, after their removal from Rhode Island. 
 
 John Tifft, visited Rensselaer County, N.Y., in 1792, pur- 
 chased a farm, in the town of Nassau, and contracted for the 
 building of a barn thereon. In February, 1793, tne family, 
 consisting of John, his wife Anna, and eight children the 
 oldest fifteen years of age, and the youngest a babe started 
 for their new home, a distance of 150 miles. The father drove 
 a team of horses, conveying in a large canvas covered sled, his 
 wife and the five youngest children ; the household goods were 
 packed in a sled and drawn by two yoke of oxen, and driven 
 by the eldest son, a lad of fifteen : the stock of cows, sheep and 
 swine were driven by the second and third son. 
 
 Their route lay through woods much of the way ; at one time 
 they were guided by marked trees in a piece of timber called 
 
 41
 
 Beckett's woods. The journey was made in twenty-two days and 
 was accompanied by many inconveniences and discomforts ; for, 
 storms overtook them in one instance a fall of rain and snow, 
 freezing, obliged them to get the oxen and cows shod before they 
 could proceed on their way. If Anna Vallett Tifft, the wife and 
 mother, shrank from these hardships, John, her husband, came to 
 the rescue and inspired her with a portion of his resolute determin- 
 ation ; and she, in turn, as the days came and went, reassured her 
 children that they should reach their destination, and there pos- 
 sess in time a home with pleasanter surroundings than the old 
 one. We are sure that, in all ways, during that trying time, she 
 strove to exercise that fortitude which became the wife of a pio- 
 neer. The older boys, while driving the cows, young cattle and 
 sheep, made the march more a pastime than a hardship. They 
 crossed the Connecticut River, moving northwest,till they reached 
 Pittsfield, near the line between Massachusetts and New York. 
 While crossing the bank of the Connecticut, one of the sleds 
 tipped over. The older boys, Robert, Jeremiah and Simon, had 
 been intrusted with the secret of the place where the money 
 (silver) was stored in a basket and packed in a certain barrel. 
 Anxious for their treasure, they soon assured themselves of its 
 safety, and carefully returned it to its former place. We can 
 imagine the momentary annoyance caused by this mishap; and 
 also the hearty good will exercised in restoring all to rights ; 
 and how they again journeyed onward with renewed good cheer 
 and courage. When finally settled in their new home, that 
 eventful journey doubtless furnished the subject of many 
 interesting talks with their neighbors. Even the grandchildren 
 remember the story, heard from their parents, also enjoying its 
 rehearsal.

 N. Y., by Rev. Asahel Bronson, to Chloe Hand, who was

 served his town as Justice of Peace twenty consecutive years, 
 and later as Supervisor for four years. 
 
 Amasa E. Tifft spent his early years on his father's farm. 
 Shortly after he was twenty-one, he went to Illinois, where he 
 remained about two years. Upon his return he engaged in 
 business with the Tildens of New Lebanon, N.Y., and soon after 
 settled on a farm near Genoa, Cayuga Co., N. Y., where he 
 lived until his death. As a result of strict attention to farming, 
 united with skillful management, he was abundantly prospered. 
 A few years before his death he built large barns and other out- 
 buildings, with a modern house, furnished with all the improve- 
 ments found in the dwellings of those living in large towns and 
 cities. The buildings as a whole, are said to be the finest and 
 most convenient in Cayuga County. He was generously helpful 
 in church enterprises, and ready to assist the unfortunate at all 
 
 65
 
 times. He possessed a large share of that indomitable will, so 
 characteristic of the Tiffts, bringing it to bear in all his under- 
 takings. It was said " In his demise the town loses a good 
 citizen, an accommodating neighbor and friend, and the family 
 a devoted husband and father." He died Nov. 24, 1894, in 
 Genoa, N. Y.

 ing the idea, however, he taught school for a time, and finally 
 went to Buffalo, where he engaged in the iron foundry with the 
 firm of George W. Tifft, Sons & Company, of which he was an 
 active member at the time of his death. He was a man of 
 unusual business capacity, and was universally esteemed for his 
 integrity of character. Possessing a large and liberal nature, he 
 was frank and generous in his dealings. He read much and 
 thoughtfully, few men being better informed on the leading 
 topics of science, literature, invention and art. He was a 
 
 66
 
 Trustee in the Central Presbyterian Church, and a liberal con- 
 tributor to every Christian and philanthropic enterprise. 
 
 He died April 22, 1873, ' n Buffalo, N. Y., and was buried in

 she maintains the traditions of her family. She is a member of 
 the Board of Directors, and has been since 1881 Secretary of 
 the Buffalo Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals ; 
 besides being, for many years, one of the Executive Committee 
 of the American Humane Association, in which capacity she 
 has rendered efficient aid. Mrs. Tifft has also served as a mem- 
 ber of the Board of Managers of the Buffalo Orphan Asylum, 
 and acted as Secretary, holding the office for some years. She 
 responded to the call for the organization of the Women's Ed- 
 ucational and Industrial Union, becoming a charter member, 
 and is still serving on the Board of Directors, as well as working 
 on the Committee for Protective work. She is also a charter 
 member of the Board of Managers of the Newsboy's and Boot- 
 black's Home, and is interested in the Children's Aid Society. 
 In 1892 Mrs. Tifft was appointed by the Mayor of Buffalo, N.Y. 
 (the first woman to hold the place) on the Board of School 
 Examiners, and was re-appointed for five years, in February, 
 1895. She was also appointed by Governor Flower in 1894, 
 the only woman on the Board of Managers of the Thomas 
 Indian Orphan Asylum, situated on the Cattaraugus Reservation, 
 N. Y., the only Red Indian Orphan Asylum in the world, and 
 re-appointed for five years in 1895, by Governor Morton. She 
 is Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of 
 Women, and a vice-President of the Educational Congress held 
 in Chicago in 1893. In November, 1895, Mrs. Tifft was elected 
 Secretary of the N. Y. State Federation of Women's Clubs and 
 Societies. She is also President of the Civic Club of Buffalo,

 Emily S. Waterbury died July 16, 1888, in Petersburg, N. Y. 
 
 Rev. Adoniram Waterbury was converted, and became a 
 member of the East Nassau Baptist Church in 1849. He was 
 licensed to preach by the Second Baptist Church of North 
 Nassau, in 1853. A part of 1854-55 was spent in Michigan 
 doing pioneer work. Returning to his native state, he was 
 ordained by the Petersburg, N. Y. Church in October, 1859, in 
 the service of which church he labored thirteen years and six 
 months. He was then called to the pastorate of the Baptist 
 Church in Lebanon Springs, N.Y., where he labored four years. 
 He afterward served the Greenbush, N. Y. church nearly six 
 years and six months, the Rensselaerville, N. Y. church seven 
 and one-half years, and the Franklin, N. Y. church two years. 
 The next two years was spent in Colorado, where he assisted 
 pastors in extra service, and is now (August, 1895) serving his 
 third year with the church in Tawas City, Mich. He has 
 endeared himself to many who were his co-workers in the 
 churches, and the memory of that work is still cherished ;

 their hearts growing tender as they recall his faithful, forcible 
 manner of presenting the Word of Life to his listeners.

 Simon Tifft and Ann Webster (who was born June 3,i788),were 
 married at the Webster Homestead in Stephentown, N. Y.,

 Outline of Ann Webster's descent. 
 
 Ann Webster was a lineal descendant of Governor John 
 Webster, 1 who came from Warwickshire, Eng., about 1630-33, 
 and settled at Newton, (now Cambridge) Mass. He removed 
 with Rev. Thomas Hooker's party or soon after, across country to 
 Hartford, Conn., and became one of the original settlers of that 
 city, and one of the founders of the Republic of Connecticut. 
 He was Magistrate (or Judge) from 1639 to 1655, when he 
 became Deputy Governor, and in 1656 Governor of the State 
 (or Colony) of Connecticut. He removed from Hartford, 
 Conn., to Hadley, Mass., in 1659; bought a large tract of 
 land on the Connecticut River, and was again made Magistrate 
 (or Judge) in 1660. Gov. John Webster died April 5, 1661, at 
 Hadley, Mass., where he was buried. His grave was not marked 
 until his descendant, Noah Webster, of Dictionary fame, had a 
 tombstone erected over it. His wife's first name was Agnes. 
 
 69
 
 Nothing more is known of her, and it is not known whether he 
 married her in England or in this country. Agnes died in 1667. 
 
 One of his four sons was Thomas. 2 It is not known when he 
 was born, or whether he was born in this country. He married 
 at Northampton, Mass., June 16, 1663, Abigail Alexander of 
 Northampton. Thomas and one other son went to Hadley with 
 Governor John, the other son remained in Connecticut. 
 
 Thomas Webster died at Northfield, Mass., in 1686, and his 
 wife died there before 1690. 
 
 One of the two sons of Thomas Webster 2 was George, 8 who 
 was born at Northampton, Nov. 7,1670, and was married therein 
 1696 to Sarah Bliss of Springfield, Mass. He was one of the 
 original settlers and founders of the town of Lebanon, Conn. 
 Land was "set off" to him in that town in 1699. He died 
 there April 12, 1721, and his wife died in 1759 or 1760. 
 
 One of the sons of George Webster 3 was Pelatiah, 4 who was 
 born at Lebanon, Nov. 17, 1702, and who married at Lebanon, 
 Dec. 14, 1725, Joanna Smith. 
 
 Pelatiah Webster died at Lebanon, Feb. 15, 1756, and his 
 widow died there prior to 1771. 
 
 One of Pelatiah's 4 sons was Constant, 5 who was born at Leba- 
 non, Dec. 7, 1741, and married between 1755 and 1760 Miss Kinnie 
 (or Miss Wordsworth, his descendants do not agree on the 
 name, and no record can be found), for his first wife. He was 
 bound out at the age of about fourteen years, to a neighbor, to 
 learn the blacksmith trade, but ran away soon and enlisted 
 in the French and Indian Wars of 1755-63. There is 
 record of service rendered by him in Capt. A. Fitch's Co., 
 2nd Conn. Regiment, from April 13 to Dec. 4, 1761, 33 weeks 
 and 5 days, for which he was paid ,16, 173., id. His company 
 was mustered out in June, 1761, at Albany, N. Y. 
 
 Constant Webster 5 settled at Worthington, Mass., where he 
 owned a farm and carried on his trade as a blacksmith. He was 
 captain of a militia Company there and a member of the Con- 
 gregational church. He died in Worthington, Mass., about 
 1826. The date of death of his first wife is not known. 
 
 70
 
 Constant 5 had a brother, Pelatiah Webster, who was a noted 
 political writer at the time of the Revolutionary War. A brief 
 account of him will be found in "Drake's Dictionary of American 
 Biography, "also in"Hinman's Connecticut in the Revolution." 
 
 One of Constant's 5 children by his first wife was Constant, 
 Jr., 6 who was born about 1760, and who married at Worthing- 
 ton, Mass., about 1787, Chloe Daniel (born Jan. 19, 1766, daugh- 
 ter of Walter Daniel). He was a blacksmith and farmer. He 
 died at Stephentown,Rensselaer Co., N.Y., Feb. 1830. It is not 
 known when his wife died. He was the father of Mrs. Ann 
 (Webster) Tifft. 7

 business, which was soon changed to a wholesale trade and he 
 supplied grocers, hotels, and the large passenger propellers, which 
 ran in the lakes at that time. In 1872 he retired from any active 
 engagement in the milk business and since then, has devoted his 
 time to his real estate interests. 
 
 Mr. Tifft is one of the many self-made men in Buffalo, who, 
 by indomitable perseverance and business energy, have attained 
 success. Helpful to those less fortunate than himself, where he 
 saw the need ; giving generously where least expected. He was 
 a member of and served Grace M. E. Church as trustee for 
 about fifteen years. 
 
 Maria E. Tifft has been a member of the Women's 
 Educational and Industrial Union of Buffalo since its organiza-

 degree, of helping the church there to an independent standing 
 in the denomination. 
 
 He cheerfully contributed of his means to the furtherance of 
 the gospel, and always manifested a self-sacrificing spirit for the 
 cause he loved. During his ministry he officiated in the Tifft

 Ann V. Dunham, married May i, 1834, to Isaiah B. Coleman, 
 
 who was born in Stephentown, N. Y., May 7, 1809. 
 
 Rev. Isaiah Bangs Coleman was the fifth child of Calvin Cole- 
 man and the grandson of John Coleman, one of the pioneers of 
 Stephentown. Such advantages as the common schools gave 
 seem to have been the limit of his early education ; adding to 
 that, habits of industry and application, he soon qualified himself 
 for teaching, following it for ten years. He experienced religion 
 when eighteen years old. Seven years later he was licensed to 
 preach, and in little less than a year was ordained to the minis- 
 try as Free Will Baptist. For nine years he had no 
 settled pastorate. In 1844 he accepted a call to the West 
 Stephentown church, dispensing the Word of Life for forty years 
 among the people there. Not one among those who officiated 
 as clergyman at the marriages of the Rensselaer County TifTts 
 was so beloved as he. 
 
 Not only did he rejoice with them at their wedding feasts, but 
 in times of sorrow and affliction, he mingled his tears with 
 theirs, and gave freely of his loving sympathy. He performed 
 during his pastorate there, three hundred and fifty-three mar- 
 riage ceremonies, preached four hundred funeral sermons, and 
 in addition, probably preached about five thousand sermons. 
 His tender sympathy was intensified as the years passed, for he 
 went often to the homes in the valleys and on the hillsides to 
 speak words of hope and consolation. He was abundantly 
 blessed with means to further his benevolent intentions (though 
 it is said that he never accepted a stated salary for his services). 
 Nor did he forget the work of Missions, leaving in his will a 
 large sum for its use. He said: "This will help preach the 
 gospel when I am dead." 
 
 He entered into rest March 14, 1883.

 George Washington Tifft, married March 14, 1827, to Lucy Enos, 
 the daughter of Joseph and Thankful Enos, who was born 
 Dec. 2, 1805, in New Lebanon, N. Y., and died Aug. 21, 
 1870, in Buffalo, N. Y. 
 
 George Washington Tifft' s first business enterprise was the 
 clearing of timber land in the vicinity of his early home. This, 
 with other similar ventures, combined with his natural business 
 sagacity, resulted in his having, when 21 years of age, quite a 
 sum of money for that locality. He remained in Nassau, N. Y., 
 after his marriage until he was 25 years of age, at which time he 
 removed to his farm, previously purchased, in Orleans County. 
 In 1841 he went to Michigan City, Ind., and engaged in buy- 
 ing and shipping grain. In 1842 he came to Buffalo and formed 
 a co-partnership with the late Dean Richmond in the milling 
 business, and in 1843 ne opened a branch of the transporta- 
 tion line, known as the Troy and Michigan Six-day Line, (did 
 not run on Sundays), under the name of George W. Tifft & Co. 
 Selling his interest in the boats the next year, he formed a part- 
 nership with Henry H. Sizer in the produce and commission busi- 
 ness. For the nine years following this he gave his attention to 
 the milling business. He was prominent among the founders of 
 the International Bank of Buffalo, of which he was the first presi- 
 dent, occupying the position until 1857, the year of the great 
 financial crash, which carried down so many banks and business 
 houses. He among others was compelled to suspend. 
 
 In 1857 he took hold of the steam engine company, built 
 blast furnaces and conceived the idea of smelting Lake Superior 
 ore with mineral coal. In 1858 Mr. Tifft became the president 
 of the New York & Lake Erie Railroad. About this time he 
 turned his attention to the improvement of real estate and be- 
 came an extensive builder, putting up the Tifft House, Buffalo, 
 then the principal hotel of the city ; also the Tifft elevator, be- 
 sides about 74 dwelling houses. Soon after he came to Buffalo 
 he purchased about 600 acres of land in the southern portion of 
 the city, known as the Tifft Farm. This tract he sold, with the 
 
 132
 
 exception of a few parcels which he disposed of to his children. 
 He also owned an extensive tract of land in Shelby County, Iowa. 
 
 The last twenty years of his life was given chiefly to the man- 
 agement of the Buffalo Engine Works, which was owned by the 
 firm of George W. Tifft, Sons & Co. 
 
 Amid all the changes of his eventful life Mr. Tifft always 
 maintained an unimpaired credit ; always holding his obliga- 
 tions sacred. He took a deep interest in public affairs, although 
 never accepting office. He was a great admirer of Lincoln and 
 gave largely toward the support of the war. 
 
 During the whole of his residence in Buffalo, a period of 40 
 years, he was identified with the Central Presbyterian Church. 
 George W. Tifft died June 24, 1882, in Buffalo, N. Y.

 MRS. MARIA E. TIFFT, Buffalo, N. Y. 
 
 Madam: In reply to yours of October 2nd would say, I think 
 John and Robert Tefft came from the town of Richmond in this 
 state, as I learn from the records of that town, that 
 John Tefft was born in Richmond, March 9, 1729. 
 Robert Tefft was born in Richmond, May 25, 1732. 
 The name is spelled Tefft all through said town records. The 
 spelling in our Revolutionary records is very bad, and is 
 undoubtedly due to the scribe's inability to spell correctly.

 John Tift (one authority calls him George) must have been an 
 early settler of Stephentown, N. Y., as his daughter Rhoda mar- 
 ried Griswald Denison, the son of Daniel Denison, Jr., the set- 
 tler of 1771. Rhoda's second marriage was to James Jones. It 
 occurred when she and her husband were between 70 and 75 years 
 of age. James Jones died in Stephentown, N. Y., 1885, aged 93 
 
 144
 
 years, and she died some years previous. Rhoda had a brother, 
 John Tifft, who married, had four sons and one daughter, and 
 settled on a farm in Scipio, Cayuga Co., N. Y. 
 
 Parker W. Tefft, of Chicago, 111. , gives the following con- 
 cerning his family : 
 
 Edmund Tefft (great-grandfather of Parker W.,) was born 
 in South Kingstown, Kings Co., R. I., Aug. n, 1750. He was a 
 Baptist preacher and was a volunteer in the Revolutionary War. 
 His father's name is not known. Edmund settled in New York, 
 probably in Rensselaer County, prior to the Revolution, as his 
 son, John Tefft, was born in Stephentown, N. Y., June 28, 1775. 
 Edmund married Mary Sweet, who was born in Exeter, R. I. 
 
 From William Oarleton Tifft, of Marion, N.Y., the following 
 concerning his family is given. He says : 
 
 "We know that our family at first had only one 'f in the 
 name." 
 
 Caleb Tifft (great-grandfather of William Carleton) was born 
 in Rhode Island. He lived for a long time in Lorraine, Jeffer- 
 son Co., N. Y., and is buried at Pierrepont Manor, Jefferson 
 Co., N. Y. 
 Caleb's brothers settled in Saratoga Co., N. Y., where there are 
 
 now many Teffts or Tiffts.
