PREFACE

T HIS record of our maternal and paternal ancestors, in direct line, has been compiled after several years of diligent inquiry into all reliable channels. The material ,used has been found chiefly in manuscripts,

wills, petitions, and other papers on file in public offices. Town, county, church, and probate records, and cemeteries have been searched, and have yielded up their knowledge, while much information has been given by the living.

The traditions, long associated with this family, are confirmed by documentary evidence, while some few have been long established, by being within the knowledge of the three present generations, as given directly from father to mother, to mother again, then to these same living members.

The compilers trust that the many descendants will take as much pleasure in reading the record, as they have ex- perienced in doing the work Truly it has been a labor of love.

Errors, possibly, have occurred; and some valuable facts be still hidden, to be found, perhaps, by those who continue the inquiry.

To the persons and sources that have yielded information, the compilers take this means of acknowledging the aid rendered to their self-imposed -task. From the libraries of New York, Lenox and Astor, the Historical, and the "New York Society," and from the library of White Plains, they have received courtesy, and to them all, they extend grateful thanks.

M ANY a glowing tribute has been paid to the "exiles for conscience's sake" to a foreign shore and the value of

- their contribution to the American character and spirit has been thoughtfully estimated. The revival of interest in Colonial and Revolutionary times has become a marked feature of the life of today.

Every man, every family, every neighborhood has a history. Sufficient time in our country's history has elapsed for, with just pride, notice to be taken of the descendants of the first settlers of our country, many of them bearing in their veins the noble blood of France, England, Ireland, and Holland. The soil is consecrated with the blood of these martyrs to civilization, and is sacred with the imprint of their footsteps. A preservation of their memory is all that can be done by posterity, to honor these pioneers, who stood in the forefront of the nation's honor.

When gathering records of families, whose ancestors came to this country in Colonial days, the searcher is often confronted with vexatious evidences of past indifference to the preservation of family documents and memorials.

Some church records of those strenuous days have been lost, or are imperfect, .with names misspelled. In many in- stances, notably Trinity Church, New York, and Rye Epis- 'copal Church, fire has consumed all records; or we find that homes, in many instances, have been ransacked by the British army, during the Revolutionary War, and, thereby, records and memorials were forever lost to the knowledge of those to whom they would have been dear. Even the resting places

Page 10: Purdy Fauconnier Archer Perrin s

of the honored dead have been abandoned, or are appropriated to other uses. It suggests how much valuable genealogical information has perished by the destruction of so large a portion of records of the 17th century, by fire, war and neg- ligence, and how slender is the material which records the family connection of our forefathers.

The ancestors are the yesterdays ; their descendants, who may read these pages, are the todays; may the yet-to-come tomorrows do honor to the quiet lives, who strove during and graced the Colonial Days.

PURDY FAMILY OF RYE, NEW YORK - FIRST GENERATION

The Purdy family were seated in York, England, early in the 15th century. The first of the name to come to Amer- ica was Francis Purdy, born in York, England, 1595. He left England in 1632, going to Concord, Massachusetts, and from there, after a few years' residence, to Fairfield, Comec- ticut. His will was proved 14 October, 1658. His wife, whom he married in England, was Mary Elizabeth --. Their first son was John; second son, Joseph; third son, Francis.

John Purdy came from Fairfield to Rye, with his wife Elizabeth , in 1670; they had two children, one dying young, and Daniel, attaining to dd.

SECOND GENERATION

Joseph Purdy came from Fairfield to Rye in 1677, when he was appointed Surveyor by the Crown. He married Eliz- abeth Ogden, daughter of Richard Ogden, of Rye, who was son of John Ogden and wife, Judith Budd. He purchased, from his father-in-law, his house and eight acres of land, "on the highway that goeth t u the Mill." The house stood on a knoll, just south of the road to Milton. This home was one of comfort and hospitality. Joseph (I) was Justice of the Peace, and Supervisor of the town, he was member of the Colonial Legislature, in 1693, and again, from 1702 to 1709. He owned a large farm in Rye, and, in 1701, he, with Heath-

Page 17: Purdy Fauconnier Archer Perrin s

ALLIED FAMILIES

coate, bought lands in North Castle, where some of his de- scendants settled.

In 1697, he, with four others, was appointed "to see to building a house of worship, and to finding of a minister." He was ever devoted to the interests of the Episcopal Church till his death. His will was probated October 5, 1709.

He had seven sons and four daughters: Joseph I; Dan- iel I; Samuel I; David I; Jonathan I; John II; Francis 11; Elizabeth; Judith; Mary; Phoebe.

THIRD GENERATION

Daniel Purdy was the second son of Joseph and Elizabeth (Ogden) Purdy. He followed thoroughly in the footsteps of his father, Joseph; he was Vestryman and Warden of Rye Church and was also member of the Colonial Legislature as late as 1743.

He was one of the Patentees of Budd's Neck, and he owned 1,000 acres in Cortlandt Manor. He Aarried Mary Rapelyea, great-grand-daughter of George de Rapelie* and wife, Catalina Trico, of Wallabout, Long Island.

,

By this marriage he had three sons: Daniel of North Salem; Hackaliah, who married Sarah Budd; and Joshua. He had continued to live on the farm which he partly inher- ited and partly bought of his father, and which lay on both sides of the road, just south of Mr. Sylvanus Purdy's residence (1870). His son Daniel took up the North Salem property.- Daniel's will was proved, 1769, February 14.

*The names of George de Rapelie and Catalina Trico are the only names of the Walloon or French Colonists brought over by The New Netherland, 1623, that have been known. In 1637, George de Rapelie bought the farm that long remained in the possession of his descendants, on a bay opposite Corlear's Hook, which became known as Waal-bacht or Wallabout.

FOURTH GENERATION

Joshua Purdy, son of Daniel, married Mary Park, daugh- ter of Roger Park and Charlotte Streing. Captain Joshua, as he was called, bought a farm on the old road to White Plains, where he built his house when he married Mary Park. This was owned, in 1870, by William Purdy. Joshua was Warden, for many years, in the Episcopal Church, was an influential man, and highly esteemed. He adhered to the side of the Mother Country in the great struggle, and, in 1776, - was a prisoner at White Plains. The Committee of Safety wrote August 20, "recommending his release, as a man of in- fluence towards whom lenity would be advisable." At his funeral, he was pronounced, "a kind husband and father, a faithful master, a father to the poor, and a pillar to the church."

Captain Joshua Purdy bought, for his son Joshua, the farm, known as the Bradford Farm (1870). His own farm he left to his son Roger. Capt. Joshua was the last Senior Warden in the Rye Episcopal Church before the Revolution, when it was burned, and for nine years there was no service.

. He was buried in Bliid Brook cemetery, which was given by , the Purdys of Rye as the glebe burying lot.

FIFTH GENERATION

Roger, son of Capt. Joshua Purdy, was married to Anne Elizabeth Fowler, May 15, 1 - 7 6 by Rev. James Wetmore, in Rye Episcopal Church. She was, supposedly, daughter of Moses Fowler of East Chester, whose will was dated, Sept. 27, 1744. All of the name of Fowler, in East Chester and Westchester, emanated from William Fowler, of New Haven, who was there, Magistrate, in 1637.

By this marriage, he had eight daughters and one son, Roger: (I) Gertrude, married Jonathan Horton; (2) Mary,

married William Brown; (3) Susan, married Lyon Miller; (4) Elizabeth, married John Falconer; (5) Ann, married Joshua. Secor ; (6) Phoebe, married Daniel Haight ;. (7) Hannah, mar- ried John Haviland; (8) Susanne, died unmarried; (9) Roger, married Tamar --.

"The late David Purdy (1870) was great-great-grmdson of Joseph, and gave to Dr. Baird a11 of the matter that is con- tained in his volume concerning this branch of the Purdy family."

SECOND GENERATION (Continued)

Francis Purdy 11, son of Francis I, who came to Fair- field from Concord (See Second Generation, Joseph st), had large proprietary rights in Rye, before 1700, having come there in 1679, two years after his brother Joseph. He re- moved to North Castle, where he died. He was another Purdy who, through his descendants, established a distin- guished line in Rye. He left three sons: Samuel, Daniel, and Joseph-

THIRD GENERATION (Continued)

Samuel Purdy, son of &kcis 11, born in Rye, A, married Penelope Streing (See Streing family) a t an earIy age. He was closely associated with the church work, and ever gave assistance to the improvement of his native town, where he continued to live. His children, five sons and three daugh- ters, were:* (I) Samuel, married Winneford Griffin; (2)

Henry, married Mary Foster; (3) Gabriel, married Eliibeth Miller; (4) Josiah, born 1 6 , married Charity Wetmore; (5) Caleb, married Hannah Brown; (6) Charlotte, married Sam- uel Fowler; (7) €bra, married George Merritt; (8) Elizabeth, married Josiah Fowler. I 3 - 1 -L

FOURTH GENERATION (Continued)

*Josiah Purdy, son of Samuel and Penelope Streing, was born 1690, died 1775, at the age of 85 years. He married Charity Wetmore, daughter of Rev. James Wetmore. He was a large proprietor, owning all the land on both sides of the Post Road, from The Cedars to Blind Brook, above the village. His house stood clean to the road, and north of the Park Institute, and was known as "The Cedars." He also owned all the land between the Post Road and The Purchase (Harrison) road. He was one of the prominent men of the county, and figured in affairs at home and abroad. He had one son and three daughters: Seth, Alethea, Hester, Hannah.

FIFTH GENERATION (Continued)

Seth Purdy, son of Josiah and wife, Charity Wetmore, was born 1710, succeeded to all his father's estate and was living on his father's lands at the time of the Revolution. He married Phoebe Ketchum, of Long Island, by whom he had four sons and five daughters. Phoebe, the eldest, mar- ried.Peter Fauconnier, eldest son of Pierre Fauconnier. From this marriage of Peter Fauconnier and Phoebe Purdy, emanate the families of Falconer of white Plains and New York, John Falconer (Fauconier) being the issue of this marriage. Falconer .

ALLIED FAMILIES

L'ESTREING FAMILY OF ORLEANS, FRANCE - Daniel Streing was born in 1650, in the city of Orleans,

France. Charlotte Lemestre, his wife, was born in 1666, in Orleans. Naturalized in England, March 2 I, 1688.

"The comparison of the signature of Daniel Streing, the refugee, establishes his identity with that of Daniel Streing Genebensis, occurring in the matriculation book of the Acad- emy of Geneva, as a student of Philosopby, entered July 29, 1672. He habitually wrote his name Streing. He and his wife were in Paris, a t the time of the Revocation. Leaving his wife there, in possession of his property, he went to Eng- land, where he obtained a lieutenancy io the Guards of James 11. Meanwhile, the property of the refugee was confiscated, and the young wife found herself destitute and alone. Baf- fled in repeated attempts to escape, she, at length, gave her child, two years old, into the care of the sentry, who detained her a t the city gate, in pledge of her speedy return from the suburbs, whither she was going in search of food. She did not return, but succeeded in reaching England, made her way to London, and, while wandering through the streets of that city, was noticed and recognized by friends of her husband, who conducted her to him."

"In 1688, Daniel, hi wife, aad one child, with other French Protestant families, embarked for America. They settled in New Rochelle, where he was Justice of the Peace, and elder in the French Church. Thence he removed to -Rye, purchasing a lot in the Town Plot, on the east side of Blind Brook. He bought a farm, and was also proprietor, in the White Plains Purchase, of land situated south of the Court House, since owned by Mr. Gedney."

& & He was &gaged in the pursuit of farming, then as a merchant, and an inn keeper, till his death in 1707. His wife died in 1722; both were buried in the churchyard of the

Episcopal Church at Rye, where they had attended worship since 1697. Previous to this, they had walked to New Roch- elle for divine worship. Streing's tavern (guest house) was well known, on the Post Road from Boston to New York. Madame Knight gives most interesting memories of her stops in it."

PARK FAMILY OF RYE, NEW YORK

The Park (originally spelled Parque) family is first known, in this country, through Roger Park, who married Horton, daughter of Joseph Horton, of Rye and White Plains. Roger Park 11, their son, married Charlotte Streing in 1720, eldest daughter of Daniel Streing and wife Charlotte. Mary Park, daughter of Roger 11, married Joshua Purdy, fourth generation.

Roger Park 111, son of Roger 11, married Sarah Disbrow, daughter of John Disbrow. Roger, through his father-in- law, became a man of wealth. His land lay in "Old Town Field." Disbrow, in 1697, erected and lived in a house on land situated on the corner of The Post Road and the road to Orienta Point. Eight generations lived there. This prop erty is now (1910) owned by the Howell sisters, of Mamaro- neck. Sarah i is brow) Park was the owner of one of the only two chaises seen in the town in 1753.

"Now, in our well filled homes, by genial fires, We read the ;tale---tell o'er the honored names, Those grand and simple names that cannot die, And proudly trace our ancient lineage."-Tarbox.

FAUCONNIER FAMILY - ARMS: . FAUCONNIER, ISLE DE FRANCE

From careful research we deduce the following: The family of Fauconnier, Isle de France, is to be traced through the line of the ancient and noble one of that name, of Tour- raine, whose earliest ancestry follows that of the department de la Vienne, 1264; rirnont6 in Baudoine de Faucon, chev- alier de Saint Louis, following the king into Italy; represented by Faucon de la Gondalie, au chateau de Beaudreau, L'en- cloitre, department de la Vienne.

FIRST GENERATION

Pierre Fauconnier, 1569, Isle de France. In the middle and latter part of the 16th century, the hottest persecution of the Huguenots was raging in Paris and its vicinity. Time and foresight had enabled many families of distinction and possessed of large estates to convert the latter into portable wealth, to leave their native country, and to accept the hos- pitality freely 'extended by England, "the city of refuge." Pierre Fauconnier was among these and went to London. Later on, March 23, 1600, he and his wife Judith were natur- alized in The Temple, Church of the Refugees, Threadneedle Street, London.

SECOND GENERATION

Jean Fauconnier, son of Pieqe Faucomier and Judith, his wife, was baptized in The Temple, Threadneedle Street, London, March 23, 16oo. He doubtless received his educa- tion in London, and attained his majority in the city of his

Page 30: Purdy Fauconnier Archer Perrin s

ALLIED FAMILIES

people's refuge. It has not been found that Jean, a t any time, took out letters of denization in England. No doubt the subject of emigration to America somewhat occupied his mind, for often and lively were the discussions among those who frequented the Coffee houses in the French quarters, Soho Square and St. Giles, London, over the relative advan- tages of reaching the northern or southern colonies. Then, again, he must have cherished the hope that the persecutions in France would, sooner or later, abate. His own wise coun- sel eventually directed him to return to "la belle France," where he established a flourishing commercial business, be- coming "one of those leading merchants who had extensive transactions between the isiands of Martinique, St. Christ- opher and St. Domingo, and their own towns of Poitiers, Limoges, Angouleme and other places."* He, like many of the rest, acquired some fortune, and lived not only in comfort, but luxury. As a Huguenot capitalist, in the Island of Martinique, he had married Mlle. Madeleine de la Tou- che, whose family of The Grand Pre de la Touche," had large landed properties there. She was daughter of Pierre de La Touche and wife Jeanne, de Villeneuve de Puichgru en Angenois de Guienne, refug6e en Martinique, 1600. She was connected with the family of the Beauharnais of Mar- tinique. Pierre was one of the sons of this marriage.

THIRD GENERATION

Pierre, son of Jean Fauconnier and Madeleine de la Touche, was associated with his father in commercial pursuits in Angouleme, where he lived and where his children were

*An historian of the Romish faith wrote, 1630-1667, "Whoever knows the merchants of the Pretended Reformed Religion, knows that commerce has no better nor more faithful agents than those of Martinique and St. Christopher."

born. He married Anne de la Forcade, who also belonged to a Huguenot family of distinction. In some parts of France, from about 1630-1665, there had existed a better feeling be- tween the adherents of the Catholic and Protestant religions, when those of the two faiths lived, side by side, in a perfect understanding; ate together, drank together, enjoying each other's society, and parted company without the slightest offence, the one to go to mass, the other to attend preaching. But the smouldering ashes of Huguenot persecution which had lain dormant for a half century, again rose to hottest flames, about 1681. Sismondi computes the number of best citizens, lost to France at this time, from the religious perse- cutions, nearly 500,000. The descendants of the Ancienne Noblesse of France, among the Refugees, were the silken threads in the woof of society in the "New World."

"Doors of escape speedily opened to the sufferers; Eng- land was foremost in the offers of hospitality, promising let- ters of denization under the Great Seal of England t o all dis- tressed Protestants."

FOURTH GENERATION

Pierre Fau'ionnier, younger son of Pierre Fauconnier and Anne de la Forcade, his wife, was born in Tours, France, 1658, and died in Hackensack, New Jersey, about 1749, a t the great age of gr years or more, for if we believe the Census of New York, 1704, when he was put down as iifty years of .age, he was at least that age.

He was educated in London, and became a scholar, writing and speaking perfectly Latin, French, and English, and was a writer of French poetry. Early in life, he obtained a commission in the Commissariat, and served as Lieutenant on the Continent, under the Duke of Marlborough. After the Peace, he was engaged in forwarding supplies to the troops

Page 32: Purdy Fauconnier Archer Perrin s

in Boston, New York, and Charleston. On this duty, he came often and long to America. Visiting his relatives in Martinique, he wrote a pamphlet on the resources of that island, and the advantages of trade between it and the Amer- ican Colonies. These writings brought him into notice of the Ministry, to his later advantage.

Long before Queen Anne came to the throne, and in the time of William and Mary, he was so frequently in America that he became intimate with all the leading men of the Prov- ince of New York. He married, in Tours, April 16, 1684, Madeleine Pasquereau, born 1666, daughter of "Pierre Pas- quereau and Madeleine Housaye, his wife. Pierre and Mad- eleine were naturalized April 4, 1685, in The Temple, Church of the Refugees, Threadneedle Street, London. Madeleine, their first child, was baptized, May 13, 1685, in the same church. Pierre, the first son, was baptized in the same church, June 24, 1686.

On the 3rd of May, 1702, Pierre Fauconnier, with wife, four children, and four servants, landed in New York, from the frigate Jersey, and being Chief of Staff and Secretary of Lord Cornbury, entered into residence in the Governor's quarters, Fort George, the Battery. Pierre Fauconnier soon played a very large part in affairs, being, successively, Naval

*Pierre Pasquereau's son, Louis, married Madeleine Chardon, daughter of Pierre Chardon, a banker, who was residing in Paris at the time of the Revocation. He fled to England, and, soon after, emigrated to Massachusetts, where he took a prominent place as a merchant of Bos- ton, and an Elder in the French Church of that city. He is believed to have been a native of Tours. Louis Pasquereau and Madeleine, his wife, had three sons: Louis, Peter, Isaac, born in Tours, and one son Charles, born in London, where they. were all naturalized, April 4, 1685. Louis died, and Madeleine manied a second husband, Phiiippe Gendron, and came with him and three sons to South Carolina, leaving the eldest son, Louis, in England.

Officer of the Port of New York, Receiver General of New York and New Jersey, and Commissioner of Revenue.*

Observation of Land Granting in New York, Mr. Cock- erill writes: "Grants of Land have been made of all the lands that could be discovered, some of them very large tracts, and in all that are good and valuable, Mr. Fauconnier is a pat- entee."

Fauconnier bought from Ebenezer Wilson and wife Mar- gery, Oct. 10, 1710, their right in the West Patent of North Castle. He, having other rights, became the managing man of the enterprise, and it was known as "Fauconnier's West Patent." He retained this interest till ApriI 10, 1745, when he gave it to Magdalen Valleau, his oldest child.

The West Patent was bounded on the north by the Manor Cortlandt, on the east by the Bedford line and Byram River, on the south by the Harrison and Rye Line, and on the west by the Bronx River and Manor Phillipsburg. It consisted of 130,000 acres of rough land. The original owners were Clarkson, Depeyster, Syrns, Fauconnier and Delancy, five shares to each.

A b u t 1720, the interest of the patentees not being that of settlers seeking homes for themselves and famiIies, but merely that of speculators, they succeeded in getting several farmers of Long Island, to the number of thirty, to come over and settle; among them were Fowler, Smith, Sands, Sutton,

*"I beg your Lordship's -favour for the recommending Mr. Fau- cannier for the place of Collector and Receiver Gen. of this Province. He is one of the best accountants, I ever knew; he is a man of very great a p plication to and diligence in business. And I have by experience found him a very honest man. He has been Naval Officer ever since I came into this Province, which office he has executed with the utmost diligence, and has taken pains to acquaint himself well with the Laws of Trade. He will give any security the Right Honorable, My Lord High Treasurer, shall be pleased to require.

"I have appointed Mr. Fauconnier one of three gentlemen to look into the state of the accounts of My Lady Bellemont."

Haviland and Ogden. These people lived on the lands for forty years without having any real title.

The rights of the patentees encumbered the grounds, through their children and grandchildren, as their successors. The titles were clouded by these 50 or 60 families, living in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Canada and Europe. Smith, Sutton and Fowler were made acommittee to acquire r@t and title to the lands, Iong disputed, of the West Patent of North Castle. These they secured November ro, 1763.

"In 1765, there were less than twenty-five f d e s re- maining of those who had secured their titles by purchase from the patentees' heirs. The lots had been procured (14) on a basis of 9 shillings an acre, (about $1.60) ; (I) &e Delancy, (2) the Clarkson, (3) the hcaster Syms, (4) john Bard, a New York Surgeon, who married Susanne VSkau, (5) the Depeyster interest. Peter Fauconnier had conveyed dl his right to his daughter, Magdalena Valleau, April 10, 1745 and Dr. John Bard was her Executor and represented the interests of her children and heirs."

Deeds bearing date June 7, I 763, Register's Office, Albany, Liber H, 276-305, trace the family record of each patentee; show who died childless, intestate, and what heirs were then surviving. It shows how the far-seeing and active Faucon- nier got into the enterprises which have ever borne his name.

"As late as March, I 734, Delancey, Fauconnier, Depeys- ter and Syms were in a suit, together with others, about the boundary of North Castle."

The original West Patent is in the possession of David W. Smith, Kensico. The Middle Patent lay between the Connecticut line and the West Patent. The East Patent was four miles square. North Salem is part of it. Stephen J. Delancey conveyed the remainder of his estate in the East Patent to John Peter Delancey, of Mamaroneck, in 1795.

ALLIED FAMILIES

Peter Fauconnier lived in the West Ward, New York. Under heads of families living in that Ward, are found with him Peter Bayard, Peter Loew, Richard Green, Baltheus Bay- ard, Gabrielle Minneville and others. They lived on "The Broad Way." Peter Fauconnier's house stood on the east side of Broadway, just below Trinity Church. It was built of red brick, three stories, four rooms to a story. Several of the rooms were handsomely tiled and had much carved wain- scotting. The house stood gable-end to the street. Much of Peter Fauconnier's furniture, as well as all of his papers, is in the possession of some of his descendants at this present time. His old clock is in the possession of one now living in Lexington, Massachusetts. This clock was made by Alexander Hog& in London, 1728. A very beautiful miniature, painted in London, set with diamonds, is in the possession of a lady in New York. The accompanying portrait is a reproduction of this miniature. Pierre Fauconnier suppos- edly died at his estate in Hackensack, to which he was greatly attached, and was buried there.*

*Extract from a Monograph on Pierre Fauconnier, Colonial Secre- tary and Receiver General under the a-tion of Lord Cornbury, by Arthur Sandys.

"Peter Fauco~ier was intimately associated with every man of note' in the colonies of New York and the Jerseys, his particular freinds being: Captain Lancaster Syms, CoIoneI Heathcote, Roger Monpesson, the Chief Justice of the Province, Thomas Hunloke, Jeremiah Bass, Secretary to to the Council, and Rip Van Dam, Esquire. He applied an excellent education and a vast experience to unremitting industry, and whether it was writing poetry or pamphlets on Colonial Trade, or on pubfic &airs, his zeal, enthusiasm and exactitude never Bagged or failed. That with every other man of note in the Colonies he speculated in land patents is true, but land was to be had for the asking, and he onIy took advantage of his opportunities, as did all other influential men of that day.

Peter Fauconnier was an example of a type of man most fit to advance Colonial expansion and to forward civilization in a new country. He saw, early in life, that his field of action was beyond the sea. With splendid courage, he seized every opportunity to better his own condition, while, at the same time, he aided in bettering the condition of a colony, in which he had cast his fortunes. He filled almost every great office with ability,

without inviting the charge of corruption, and retired, a t a great age, honoured and respected. His constitutional strength was enormous, and his mental grasp as powerful as his capacity for continuous labor. In pkson he was commanding, in features very handsome, and, his portrait tells us, a gentleman to his fmger tips."

Judge Bard came here in 1706, had two sons, Peter and John. John was the father of Samuel. Dr. John Bard married Susanne Valleau, who was grand-daughter of Peter Fauconnier. By this marriage Dr. John Bard came into possession of a great estate on the Hudson, a t Hyde Park, consisting of 13,000 acres with nine miles of frontage on the River. Their son Samuel graduated a t Columbia College in 1760, and then stud- ied in Euro*. He became a very eminent physician in this country and died in 1821. He had married his cousin Mary Bard, 1768. He was intimately associated with Col. Livingston.

FIFTH GENERATION (Continued)

(2) Pierre (Peter), born in London, baptized 24 June, 1686, at the Temple, Threadneedlestreet, came to New York, 1702, with Pierre Fauconnier and Madeleine, his father and mother. Among the French Huguenot merchants of New York City, the custom long prevailed of sending their sons, upon the completion of their business education there, to spend some time in the Antilles Islands, whither business, social, and family ties continued to draw them. Pierre Fau- cannier's grandmother, Mlle. de la Touche, having been a native of Martinique, naturally would call his sons and grand- sons to that island. Young Peter went there and returned - to New York, where he continued to live, and was active in business affairs with his father. Late in life, he married Phoebe Purdy of Rye, Dec. 1746, Trinity Church, New York.

Pierre Fauconnier (the father) had had, with others, a lengthy friendly suit in equity before the Council to settle the boundaries of their grants of lands in mTestchester County, which, by the records of the Surveyor-General, overlapped each other. This friendlysuit, begun in 1734 and extending over several years, threw the families of Purdy and Faucon- nier in close social relations, resulting, at its close, in the inter- marriage of these two families. Pierre and Peter passed many days and nights in the fine old home of Josiah Purdy, where Seth and his f a d y resided. Peter receivd large prop

- erties from his father, who followed the law of France, "the eldest son receiving his portion at the age of 21 years, and the eldest daughter, when she mamed." Peter Fauconnier Ieft two sons--William, by a first wife, and John, by Phoebe Purdy, daughter of Seth Purdy and Phoebe Ketchum and granddaughter of Josiah Purdy and Charity Wetmore, d of Rye, New York.

(4) Theodore Fauconnier, born in London supposedly and baptized there; was active in mercantile and other affairs, went to Martinique and probably died there.

SIXTH GENERATION

John Fauconnier, son of Peter Fauconnier and Phoebe Purdy, was born Dec. 18, 1747. He was educated at the Church School of Rye, which was under The Propagation Society of the Church of England. He and Elizabeth Purdy, daughter of Roger Purdy and wife, Elizabeth Fowler, of Rye and Eastchester, were married November g, 1771, by Rev. Ephraim Avery, Rye, N. Y.

John Fauconier brought his young wife to White Plains, where they started life together in the oldest house in the village. To man, heaven gives its best gift in a good wife, and so was John Fauconier blessed in Elizabeth Purdy. She was the daughter of a good mother, and of such are good wives made. Many years did the walls of the old house echo to the cries and laughter of the numerous babies, into whose eyes the fond mother looked the sweetest, happiest, tenderest look that can shine from a woman. She was a woman of strong character and many virtues, and she held, throughout her life, a position in the community of more than usual influence, and enjoyed the respect and affection of all for many miles around.

In the early years of her married life, she was compelled to leave the home, and flee, with her two young children, for protection in the home of her father a t Rye, for White Plains had answered the call of her country. The conflict with the British seemed rapidly approaching, and soon entered into, and often divided the family. Where a father was a deter- mined loyalist, the sons were equally zealous whigs.

A company of fififty-four able bodied men was formed in White Plains. Among the officers were James Varian, Isaac Hatfield, John Fauconier and Anthony Miller. This enlist- ment was September 13, 1775. The Declaration was read in front of the Court House on the 9th of July, 1776, by John Thomas. White Plains at once became the seat of debatable

ground, and nowhere were there more fearful deeds perpe- trated, by the rebels as well as by the British.

The British headquarters were in the Fauconier house, and Washington's headquarters in the Miller house, on the outskirts of the village. During the summer of 1781 the French h y encamped in the district between Greenburg and White Plains, and Gen. Lauzan made his headquarters in the John Fauconier house, "which stood on Broadway, near Lake St.," the centre of the village.

No section of the country had been more harassed and trampled upon than White Plains, but, immediately after the war, the village took on new business interests, and a new Court House was built. John Fauconier had served through- out the war, and was confined six months on the Prison Ship, Jersey. After his release, he re-enlisted in Gen. Thomas' division as captain, and continued actively in service. In this, as in Various other characteristics, he greatiy resembled his grandfather, Pierre Fauconnier. He returned, with his young family and slaves, to White Plains, and at once repaired and enlarged his home on Broadway, which had so long been at the mercy of the contending forces, as headquarters. In 1644, a certain William Odell or Odd, of Concord, Massachu- setts, removed to Fairfield, Connecticut. His son William was among the first proprietors of Rye. Sam Odell,* son of the latter, settled on a stretch of land in White Plains, on which he found standing a small log house. This was in 1684,

, The little house showed marks of having been built by some early refugees, and on one beam was the date, 1648. This house was rebuilt by Dan Brundig, son of John Brundig of

*William Odell acquired title and interest in the White Plains Pur- chase and, as early as 1684, gave this to his son, Samuel. To this was added the following land.

Rye,* in 172 I, as it, with its accompanying acres, was appor- tioned by the Councii to him, a t the time of the application made by various men for apportionments in White Plains. It stood, as Broadway was then laid out, on Broadway, near Lake St.

Following close after. Dan Brundage's ownership of the oldest house of White Plains, was the purchase of it by John Fauconnier, of Rye and White Plains. The old relic part had all the marks of extreme age, with large chimney and low sloping lean-to roof, large central beam in the low studded, lower rooms, and small windows. This was the east end of the Fauconier house, as it was known for over a hundred years. This very oldest part must have had a thatched roof A d wooden chimney, well covered with clay to prevent its burning.

The living room or farm kitchen was the kingdom of the Fauconier house, as i t was in most of the colonial houses of the country. It served many purposes, and there much of the home life centred. With the exception of what was baked in the big Dutch Oven in the outer kitchen, the cooking was done before or in its cavernous fireplace, around which were hung the warming pans, flat-irons, skillets and teapots, with other -

culinary necessities, while from the chimney's spacious throat, hung the cranes, pots, hooks and trammels.

On the g r a t dresser were rows of polished pewter plat- ters and vessels, while, laid away on the shelves of the great oak press, were piles of linen. On a table, near by, were the . '

*Upon the 13th of March, 1721, his excellency, Wm. Burnett, granted letters patent to Daniel Brundage, "all that tract of land in White Plains, beginning at a small white ash stake standing on the East Side of the long meadow brook and runs thence, south fifty three degrees, west forty three chains, and a heap of stones near the Street, and containing one hundred aad ninety five acres or more. The Patentee yielding therefore, on the Festival of The Annunciation the annual rent of twenty shiIlings and six pence for every one hundred acres."

inevitable brass candlesticks, with flint and tinder box, for these were the days before even matches, to say nothing of electric lights. The family silver was kept in an inner room in the main house, where there was always to be found a huge log fire, in its spacious chimney place. The jolly good times of this room were frequent, for this house was noted for its social gatherings of friends and relatives, the county over. There were four rooms on each floor in the main house. The outer kitchen. had a large room over it, in which were the loom and the spinning wheel. In 1888, the old homestead was taken down, and is now encased in what makes the house known as No. 50, Kensico Avenue. The compilers' mother has often told of her visits from New York, "to her grand- father's, a t White Plains, and of watching her grand-mother, (step-grand-mother) moving gracefully up and down at the loom, and carding the wool and the linen, which were grown on grandfather Fauconier's farm." This same lady, in' New York, had for her servants the grandchildren of her grand- father's slaves, when New York was a slave state. He freed his slaves, and then some of them went to New York to be in the families of the grandchildren, and lived and died among them.

John Fauconier became a leader in his town, and held various offices as clerk and supervisor, which latter office he continued to sustain till within a year of his death. He was a man of wealth and high social standing, living on his patrimony. Joshua Purdy, Peter Jay, John Fauconier, Daniel Park, John Thomas, James Wetmore, Alex Hunt, were the Wardens and Trustees of Grace Episcopal Church, Rye, and made the call to Rev. Richard Moore, Sept. 5, 1787. There had been no church building for several years, as the church had been burned in the first year of the war. The records had all been burned, and except for a few family records, kept in secret among some of the Tory families, the Purdys among them, there are none of the early records left.

ALLIED FAMILIES

John Fauconier remained in the Episcopal Church till Methodism ms firmly established, when he became one of its followers and so continued, giving largely of his purse, as well as his time and strength. In the old Methodist church, on Broadway, on its wall back of the pulpit, is to be found the following : "John Faucwef , liberal, eccentric, devout. Sound in the Scriptures, a man whom threats could not intimidate nor, ., flatterers cajole."

"Old residents and members of his family remember him as a tall man of majestic appearance and agreeable manners, and that he was a graceful and fearless rider. Altogether, we can readily persuade ourselves, that he was a man of ability and an important personage in the community where he lived nearly all his long life. He was noted for his ppen-handed as well as open-hearted hospitality. He, withal', enjoyed a fire- side chat with his neighbor and a roadside joke. Numerous were the witty remarks of his, remembered among the villages for years. Many times, he would start from his home early in the morning, and reach New York, as far down as Bond Street, East Broadway, or the.Battery, in time for breakfast with some one of his children or grandchildren. When he was fifty-three years of age, his wife, Elizabeth Purdy (and the mother of his eight children), died. T o ears later, he married Peninah Sands, daught6r of -ds, of Sands Point, Long Island. There were no children by this marriage which was a most happy one.

Minot Mitchell, who settled in White Plains in I 806, and . - was active in every project to benefit the town and county,. was his most intimate friend, whom he named as executor in hi will. John Fauconier was an exemplary man, for it can well be said of him that he was a devoted husband and father, a pillar of the church, a good citizen, and faithful to his coun- try's call.

"Washington, January 17, 1910.

" It is shown by the records of this office that John Falconer served as an ensign in Colonel Thomas Thomas's Regiment, Westchester County, New York, Militia, Revolutionary War. His name appears on sundry pay rolls in an order dated Aug- ust I, 1785, which directs Colonel Thomas to pay Mr. John Falconer the wages due to certain subscribers for militia service performed in the year 1777 under thc command of the said John Falconer.

The records show that John Falco served in Lieutenant Colonel Thaddeus New York Militia, Revolutionary War. His name appears on receipt rolls dated August 17, 1785, and September 29, 1785, which shows that he received in full for s e ~ c e s for the years 1779, 1780 and 1781."

Much confirming information regarding the Fauconnier (*Falconer) family is given.. through papers of Peter Faucon- nier in the possession of Mr. Arthur Sandys (Sands), Bethle- hem, Pennsylvania, in.letters from him to the compilers, as well as in personal interviews. Mr. Sands is descended from Peter Fauconnier, five removes, through the Valleau-Bard line.

It is hardly possible that a full genealogy of this family can be prepared at this time, but much data bearing on its history has been collated, which it is hoped will prove of as- sistance to any one of the family who may, in the future, choose to continue the pedigree.

ARCHER FAMILY OF FORDHATvf, NEW YORK - ARMS : ARCHER O F UMBERSLADE,

WARWICK, ENGLAND

John Archer, of Fordham, New York, was descended from Fulbert L'Archer, who came into England with William the Conqueror in 1066. The family was of Norman origin.* In the Ancient Catalogue or Roll of Battle Abbey, Sussex, Eng., occurs the name of Fulbert L'Archer, of Umberslade, Warwick; and the family for 400 years was seated in Corn- wall. The eldest son of Fulbert L'Archer was Robert, tutor to young Henry I, son of William the Conqueror, from whom he received a grant of seven manors, in Berks. Henry I styled him "Magister Meus." From Robert, follow twelve direct generztions.* Andrew Archer was Armiger of Tan-

-

wark. John Archer represented Helston in Parliament, in the reign of Henry VI, rqzz-1461. The eldest son of Richard, twelfth in descent from Fulbert, was Humphrey, of Warwick, born in 1527 and died October 24, 1562. Richard's wife was Elizabeth Townsend. Their third son was John, born in 1553, whose wife was Eleanor Frewin, and their eldest son

*Inthe Roll ofthe Church of Dives are mentioned Archard, Archere d'Ivri and Hubert, de Mont Canise. Dives was one of the chief ports of the duchy of Normandy, and now in the department of Calvados; noted in the 11th century, in French and English histories, as the place where W&m the Conqueror met hi companions in arms for the furthering of the expedition to subjugate England.

*In 1272, reign of Edward I, Henry L'Archer (assize Roll of Lau- miston) was seated at L i d s Liners, Cornwall. Ensigns occur in old carved work among quarterings of allied fadies.

was John; second son, Samuel; third son Gabriel, and a young- er son Henry.

Gabriel Archer, gentleman, and attorney of Warwick, accompanied the expedition which sailed from Falmouth, England, March 26,1602, in command of Bartholomew Gos- nold, for America. This expedition explored the coast of New England and returned to England. On April 26, 1607, Capt. Gabriel Archer was fiercely attacked and wounded by the Indians, at a certain point of land on the Virginia coast where he landed in company with Capt. John Smith, George Percy, George Kendall and others. There were three ships in this expedition. On April 29th they set up the cross, and the next day sailed away. The 12th of May they dis- covered a point of land on a river (James), which they named Archer's Hope, in honor of Capt. Gabriel Archer, "and if it had not been disliked because the ships could not sail near, we had settled there, to all the colonies contentment." On April 29, 1896, the Association for the Preservation of Vir- ginia Antiquities put upon the old lighthouse at Cape Henry, a bronze tablet with these words: "Near this spot landed, on April 26, 1607, Capt. Gabriel Archer, Gent., Hon. George S. Percy, Edward Wingfield and 27 others, who calling the place Cape Henry, planted a cross, Apr. 29, 1607."

Samuel Archer, elder brother of Gabriel, came to and settled a t Salem, Massachusetts, in 1630. His wife was Alice Allan, of the Allans of Clairemont, England. They had two sons, Henry and John. John Archer with a party of others, left Salem, and reached Fairfield, Connecticut, in 1654. In 1656, John Archer established himself, in New York, as a prominent shipping merchant, owning ships that plied be- tween that city and England.

Sept. 18, 1667, he bought of Elias Doughty of Flushing, Long Island, I253 acres of land in Westchester County.

Page 78: Purdy Fauconnier Archer Perrin s

ARCHER

This was confirmed by the Indians, March 4, 1669. He purchased other lands adjoining on the north making 2000

acres. Governor Lovelace issued letters patent erecting the whole into an enfranchised township or manor, giving leave that he should settle sixteen families on the land, ordaining that whatever agreement Archer should make with the inhab- itants, he would confirm. This land he assigned to Archer and his heirs and assigns forever in as large and ample a man- ner as if he held directly from the king, rendering and paying yearly unto his Royal Highness, the Duke of York or his gov- ernors,as quit rent, 20 bushels of good peas on the first day of March. The patent was dated November 13, 1673. This Manor John Archer named Fordham, and here he built his residence. This Fordham was not the one of that name of the present time, extending as it did from the fording-place from about Kingsbridge to Highbridge towards Yonkers, where he had purchased other land; thus being seized in fee of 2000 acres and more.

John Archer married Mary Fowler of westchgter. He died suddenly in his coach while journeying from New York to his manorial residence, 0ct.-, 1685. He was interred on Tetard Hill. .-

His eldest son, John 11, succeeded his father as lord of the manor. He married Sarah Odell, daughter of Wrn. Odell of East Chester. The license for this marriage was issued by Governor Dongan. "Given u ~ d e r my hand and seal, at Fort James, New York, seventh day of October, 1686, in the second year of his Majestic's reign."

Under John Archer 111, son of the above, the entire estate of the Manor of Fordham passed out of the Archer family. "On account of financial complications, this John Archer mortgaged the property to one Steenwick, a member of the New Dutch Church of New York City. Steenwick dying,

the mortgage passed td his wife. She, afterwards, married the minister of this church, and was induced to give the mortgage to The Dutch Church with the proviso that 300 acres of the land surrounding the old Manorial Residence should be retained by its present occupant, Benjamin Archer, during his lifetime." "It then passed to the Church, which has ever since refused an examination of the papers."

Margaret Archer, whose daughter Cathrine Corby mar- ried John Perrin, was great granddaughter of John Archer I1 and Sarah Odell, and daughter of Anthony Archer and Mar- garet Mapes. See chart. Margaret Archer was born May 4, 1776. Her first marriage, in 1796, was to John Carriere Corby of New York City, by whom she had one child, Cath- rine. In 1814, she married a second time, this time to her cousin, Benjamin Archer, a merchant of New York City, and a son of Gabriel Archer and Sarah Hunt. Margaret Archer was as staunch an Episcopalian, as had been her grandfather and great-grandfather, who were long associated as vestry- men with St. John's church, Yonkers.

PERRIN FAMILY *

rC

ARMS: PERRIM DE PARIS

This ancient family, issuing from a noble race, was es- tablished in Castre, Languedoc, and thence divided into four substantial branches. I t had its origin in the family of de la Baulme from Saint Amour, Seigneur de la Baulme of Cedron, in Bresse, who was living in 1086. The line following this family arose to prominence in Deodat de Perrin, living in 1116. From this eldest branch to the 17th degree, there arose the line of LaBessierre in the person of Michel de Perrin, chevalier, under the name of Chevalier de la Bessierre. He served 53 years as lieutenant and colonel, dying at Villefranche de Constant, in the service of the king. This branch furnished many distinguished officers and Chevaliers of the Order of St. Louis, and had numerous representatives in the Cnwdes to the Holy Land. -- "Transplanted and seated in various proviices of France," "the Perrin de Paris Coat Armorial is in conformity with those borne at the early period; the decor- ations are of The Order of Saint Louis, and those of the Cru- sades and Pilgrimages. This ancient nobility, which, at all times was in the service of the State and King, made alliances among the best houses of nobility." "Deeply rooted in the hearts of most of us, there lives an interest in the past and a desire to place oneself in some relation to the generations that have preceded us."

"As early as 15 12 an eager demand for the Scriptures had sprung up in France. Society became electric and was stirred

to a new awakening; nobleman, scholar, artisan. The first signs of the movement showed themselves in .the town of Meuse, about fifty miles northeast of Paris, where fourteen persons were burned at the stake for their avowal to the cause. Persecution raged hottest in and around Paris for years, and on June 27,1551, the Edict of Chateaubriand was declared. Hosts of the nobility came out from the old religion; Lords, Captains of the Horse, Admiral du Quesne, Marquis Du Ruvigny, Marshal Schomberg, Count Pemn, the Fauconnier and others. Edward VI ordered churches to be set apart for the use of refugees, and IOO,OOO persons left France in the 16th century, and passed over into England and Holland."

The family of Pemn were seated in Paris as early as 1450. John Pemn, gentleman, with his wife, Anne Bruneau,* were connected with St. Dunstan's Parish, London, in 1580. Later he is found in Chelmsford, Essex; and i t is from this place that is traced the first of the name that came to America.* John Perrin, aged 21, his son, according to Massachusetts records, took passage from Gravesend, England, in the ship Safety, John Grant, Master, which landed a t Boston Aug. 10,

I 635. This vessel brought passengers f rorn London. This John Perrin (I, as we shall call him) soon went to Braintree, where he married Anna (or Hannah) Hubert, daughter of Richard Hubert of Monte Canise, Normandy, one of the ship's passengers. He remained here eight years, when he,

T h e classic English language of Shakespeare prevailed throughout middle eastern England, Essex, Sussex, Kent, Suffolk, Oxford and Cam- bridge. The great Puritan emigration from 1628 to 1642 to New Eng- land brought many Englishmen of this stamp. After 1642 this emigration ceased. Naturally, some of the grace and literary taste of these emigrant ancestors would be lost in the numerous succeeding generations from alien madages or other causes.

with the Rev. Samuel Newman and others, founded or settled the town of Rehoboth, Massachusetts. In the records of this town, the name of Perrin is spelled variously; Pemn, Perin, Parin, Perham, which led Savage to suppose, "There were two families, John and Abraham Perrin and John and Abraham Perham." "A careful examination of the town records shows that there was only one family there, and that the descendants of John Perrin I, or Sen., of Rehoboth now all write the name Perrin or Perin. The ancestor of the New England family of Perham never lived in Rehoboth." (From the Clerk of Rehoboth, March, 1872, in a letter to W. B. Lap- ham, Augusta, Maine. N. E. Hist. & Gen. Reg., Vol. 26).

FIRST GENERATION

John Perrin I, Sen., was born in Chelmsford, Essex, England, in 1614, and died in Rehoboth, September IS, 1674. His will is dated June 16, 1674, proved November 23, 1674. He bequeathed all his property equally to his wife &a, sons John and Abraham, and daughters Anna and Mary. John Pemn I and wife Anna had first child Mary who was born in Braintree, Dec. 22, 1640, and died there. John, the first son, was born in Braintree, April 10, 1642, before the removal to Rehoboth. Anna was born July 12, 1645, at Re- hoboth, where the other children were born: Abraham, March I, 1647, and Mary, February 7, 1649. Mary married Jacob Ormsbee, December 12,- 1670. Anna married Thomas -- _CC

Read June 16,1675. Springing as he did from a distinguished family in Eng-

land and France, it is evident that John Perrin, Sen., soon after his arrival in America, became a leader, and by the dig- nity of his bearing, and knowledge of the refinements of the society of his day, made a lasting impression on the life of the colony. Many families, conspicuous in the Plymouth and

Page 87: Purdy Fauconnier Archer Perrin s

ALLIED FAMILIES

Massachusetts Bay colonies in this early period, were a t the same time represented in the Virginia Colony; the Smalleys, Perrins, Deweys, Washburns, and others among them.

The properties accumulated by these men were the result of extraordinary foresight and prudence. I t was more than the mere determination to win success as a start.

"It is the privilege of history to impart the experience of age without its infirmities; to bring back things long ob- scured by time, or sinking into oblivion, and enable us to form some reasonable conjecture of what may happen to posterity."

In the records of the first meeting of the Original Planters of Rehoboth, Plymouth Colony, October 24, 1643, appears the name of John Perrin, taxed for his lands, which had been granted himby@e Court of Plymouth, there being "65 lottes." Among the other names are those of Walter Palmer, Wm. Cheesebrough, Nicholas Ide and Peter Hunt. Again, at a town meeting to draw for a division of woodland, June 31, 1644, were mentioned John Sutton, John Pemn, Thomas Bliss, and twenty-five others. Again, July 5,1644, a t a meet- ing for selecting nine men for the protection of the town, and for fencing off plots or lots, were named John Pemn, Walter Palmer, John Allen, Thomas Cooper and others. On the same day lots were drawn for the Great Plain; John Pemn and Joseph Torrey being among them. Feb. 12, 1646, John Perrin and three others were given the right to set up a "Weier or Cove." On the same day, John Perrin and others were to draw lots for the new Meadow. June 22, 1658, John Perrin, Thomas Willets and others drew for lots on the north side of the town. John Perrin seems to have have been promi- nent among the men of his town, being frequently elected to office. He, with Nicholas Ide, shared the position of surveyor for some years, and he was clerk and also constable many

Page 88: Purdy Fauconnier Archer Perrin s

years. The town was built in a semi-circular form, with the church and parsonage in the centre. In 1663, their beloved pastor, Samuel Newman, died. He was a hard student, and wrote the first Concordance in the English language. His posterity is very numerous to the present day, 1910.

SECOND GENERATION

In 1668, Rev. Noah Newman was called to the pastorate, when John Perrin I1 was appointed, "to see to the enlarging of the beloved Pastor's house, planting an orchard, and to see that wood shail be carried in for his winter's fire." John Perrin I1 appears to have succeeded his father in the manage- ment of public affairs as surveyor, constable and other offices. He was among the men who, headed by Rev. Newman and accompanied by a small party of Mohegan Indiis, gave chase to King Philip. In 1676, Rehoboth was the scene of the bloodiest bade of King Philip's War in Plymouth Colony. John Perrin I1 was one among others to advance money to the town for its defence. The widow of Abraham Perrin, his brother, gave "~qlbs., 2 shills.," toward the pay of those engaged in the conflict. In 1665, John Perrin I1 appears with others, in the records, drawing for lands in the North Pur- chase. He was a man of means, and died at Roxbury May 6, 1694, while there on a visit to his son Noah. He was buried at Rehoboth. John I1 married Mary Hunt in 1667 and had ten children ; John, Samuel, -MW, Nathaniel, Mehitable, Noah, Daniel, Nehemiah, David and Susanna. Some of the sons went to Pomfret and Woodstock, Connecticut. Susanna married June 22, 1708, Capt. Joseph Chandler of Pomfret, who was born at Roxbury in 1683.- They were ancestors of the numerous Chandler families.'

Daniel Perrin, the fifth son, married Abigail Carpenter, whose daughter Abigail married John Newman. Daniel went to Connecticut and bought part of the original homestead of P. Aspinwall of Putnam County, New York.

THIRD GENERATION

Noah Pemn I, 6th son of John 11, went to Roxbury, Massachusetts, at a very early age, and became a manufac- turer there. He was a respected man of affairs, and a staunch and patriotic citizen. Since the days when the town created the office of "Clerck, who should keep the records, except such things as are ridiculous and inconvenient" eminent citi- zens had filled the post, among whom were Sam'l. Gridley, Dr. Prentiss, Noah Penin and Joseph Tucker. Noah Perrin raised wool on his own lands and converted it into texture in his own factories. He married Patience Walker June 14, 1705, who with him reared a large family of children to fear God, to love their country, and to respect the rights of others. A record in Roxbury Church states: "Noah Perrin and Patience, his wife, admitted to full communion Mar. 29,1724." He died in Roxbury in 1750, aged 71.

His children were: (i) Martha, born June I I, 1706; (ii) Noah 11, born June 18, 1708; (iii) Mary, born in 1712, and died in 1714; (iv) Mary, born May, 1715, married a Smith; (v) Elizabeth, born in 1719, married a Reid; (vi) Samuel, born in 1721; (vii) Susanne, born in 1723, married a Rich- ardson; (viii) Patience and (ix) Thankfd (twins), born May 16, 1726; (x) John, born December 22,1729.

FOURTH GENERATION

Noah Perrin 11, son of Noah I, was born June 18, 1708. In the history of Roxbury is stated, "The order of gentility was closely marked ; Mr. John Pierpont, Mr. Edward Ruggles,

Page 90: Purdy Fauconnier Archer Perrin s

fIO1I'SE OF SO--1H PERRIS

Page 91: Purdy Fauconnier Archer Perrin s

Mr. Noah Perrin, by their titles were of grave importance; a few of those of the best conditions had Mr. and Mrs.pr&ed to their names; persons in office, and those who had connection with persons of distinction, in France or England, were the gentry of Roxbury, Boston, and towns adjacent. Wealthy families bad colored &ants; plainer households hired Amer- ican help." The signatures of the principal slave holders were attached to a petition relating to "the unhappy practice of their negro servants being abroad at unseasonable hours of the night, and we pray the town that it may be punished."

"In 1760, Bartlett Street was given to the Town by Isaac Wmslow, Thomas Dudley and Noah Pemh. This Street had long been known as Perrin's Lane, and led past Perrin's house, and formed the southwest boundary of the Dudley Estate." It now (1881) connects Dudley and Washington

. Streets. Noah Perrin lived in a house (1740-1788), which, only a

few years since (1881), was torn down. It was one of the old- est houses then standing, and was probably the house of Chandler, in the earIy days. It bore honorable scars of Revolutionary service, being pierced with shot from British cannon. There was the majestic elm tree, under whose spreading branches the tired men from Lexington were fed by the hand of the good wife of Noah Perrin. She, w h v an ancient dame, enjoyed to recall many reminiscences of the war. Back of the Perrin house were those of Mr. Osgood and Mr. Blanchard. Just beyond this old landmark is a three-story house, built for Noah Perrin Williams, and which faces the Dudley School for Girls, this is the residence of Dr. Bartlett. Noah Perrin's house was one of the best in the town, i t contained two parlors and a parlor chamber.

"The first house of worship was built in Roxbury, in 1632, rebuilt in 1674, and again in 1744. All persons, in

ALLIED FAMILIES

anticipation of Indian attacks were ordered to live within a half mile of the church, and the men to attend worship completely armed. In this church, for a century, all the marriages, baptisms and funerals were solemnized; here the missionary Elliot gave forth his beneficent work for 60 years. From the building being destroyed by fire, in 1741, there was a law made that no foot-stoves should be taken into the churches." For the pleasure of the numerous descendants of Noah Perrin, it may be here stated that he occupied Pew 23, the "first pew to the charge of those who can pay." "From this church belfry rang out, by its signals, the joyful intelli- gence that the British had evacuated Boston."

"Roxbury is the Mother of Towns; no less than 'fifteen flourishing cities and towns of the State were founded or set- tled from her citizens. She can fairly claim to be the banner town of the Revolutionary War, furnishing to it three com- panies of Minute Men at Lexington, one of which was the first that was raised for the defence of American liberty, and having given birth to three of the generals of the army." On firm demand of Samuel Adams "that nothing short of total evacuation of the town by his Majesty's troops will satisfy the public mind and preserve the peace of the Province," this being three days after the Massacre a letter was sent to Rox- bury, requesting "a free communication of sentiments on our Common Danger." "A committee, November 16, 1772, to consider and report, consisted of Isaac Winslow, Joseph Mayo, Noah Perrin, William Bowdoin, Aaron Davis, and William Heath."

Noah I1 married Mary Dennison of Roxbury, Decem- ber, 1735, and had seven children. He and his wife were ad- mitted to full communion, Sept. 19, 1737. Issue: (i) Mary; born 1737; (ii) Martha, born 1739, died 1760; (iii) Theda, born 1744, married Stephen Williams of Boston: (iv) Noah,

"President George Washington was present, October 25, 1789, at the baptism of George Washington Perrin, son of Abrham and Rachel Penin, in Brattle St. Church, Boston. On this same day, Gov. Hancock waived official etiquette and called on the President, a< Ingersolls, corner of Tremont and Court Streets."

FIFTH GENERATION

John Perrin 111, youngest child of Noah I1 and Mary Dennison, was born in Roxbury, March 7, 1755. He went as a very young man to Boston. When the Revolutionary War broke out, he enlisted in the company of Capt. Abijah Rowles, July 6,1775. Twenty-three Perrins of Roxbury and Boston served in t5is war: surely, a record of patriotism for the family. A family record of the early lives of John and William is that, "Noah Perrin's two boys were among the young men who lent a hand in the Boston Tea Party, Decem- ber 16, 1773.'' After the close of the war, John, accompanied by his brother William, went to New York City. The two brothers at once began active business, and soon married. William married Miranda Smith, I 785, in the Second Presby- terian Church, New York. John married Cornelia Varian, july 24, 1784, in the Second Presbyterian Church, New York This lady was possessed of an i ~ a t e gracious dignity of char- acter, allied to a devout and generous nature, and to the poor or unfortunate she was ever a sympathetic friend.

John Perrin 111, was a courtly gentleman of the old school, of a fine nature, and exemplified many of the traditions of his antecedants. He was tall and erect, of iron nerve, and strict integrity, silent and deliberate in manner. He had been &u-

Page 94: Purdy Fauconnier Archer Perrin s

ALLIED FAMILIES

cated in Roxbury, where he developed quick perceptive ability, and a judgment which, combined with industry, en- abled him to pass through life successfully. Cornelia, his wife, was the daughter of Richard Varian and Susanne Gar- diner. Richard Varian was son of Isaac Varian and Eliza- beth de Voew, daughter of Daniel de Voew of Morrisania, New York. De Voew (de Vouw, de Voe, de Voor) was a Dutch family of good repute in New York, 1660.

The various branches of the Varian family all claim de- scent from those resident in or near Rouen, and of Norman ancestry. Those, from Ireland, claim that their people were driven thence from Normandy, a t the time of the religious persecutions. Varin or Varian is an old Norse appellation, denoting "strength." Several of the race of Varian were in- terred in the Rouen Cathedral. The Isaac Varian estate in New York City was contained in the land that is now bounded by Broadway, Fifth Avenue and Madison Avenue, 26th and 31st Streets, which he bought of Henry Gage for S600. He also bought, from the estate of John DeWitt, west from Broadway (Old Bloomingdale Road) to Seventh Avenue, from about 26th to ~ 1 s t Streets, for 3 1,280, The character of the ground was swampy, and broken with rocks and briery growth. Mr, Varian pursued the avocation of a farmer; he built his home here and this was the homestead for several generations- The old part of the house gave evidence of having once been part of a ship's cabin, but no account of whence the relic was derived has been found. The house stood in the same spot, years after Fifth Avenue became the fashionable thoroughfare; i t was a noticeable object amidst the fine houses in later years, as its occupant, the wealthy Mr. Varian, continued to live in the home of his forbears, till re- leased by death. The Abingdon Road was a pleasant cress road that branched off eastward, above the Varian property to the Post Road, at 40th St.

PERRIN

SIXTH GENERATION

John Perrin IV, second son of John Perrin 111, and wife Cornelia Varian, was born February 28, 1789, in New York City, where he lived during the 83 years of his life and died January 15, 1872. He followed closely in his father's foot- steps, in business career as in patriotic character which latter he evinced by service, in various positions, in the War of 1812. In 1804, he was 2nd Lieutenant of "The Troop;" then Lieu- tenant, and later Captain; so it was as Captain that he brought "The Troop" into service a t Wallabout, where they did duty during the remainder of the War.

The dress of this Troop was a great contrast to ;hat of the present day, consisting as i t did of a blue short-tailed coat, trimmed with silver lace, cost, $60; buckskin breeches, $15; long boots, $15; and a leather cone cap, with falling red horse-hair, $20. This Troop was under command of Gen. Jacob Odell, of Westchester County. Mr. Perrin was very erect and tall ; at 80 years of age he was as alert in movement as at forty. He was a fine horseman. At 72 years of age, he rode a favorite mare of his twenty miles in one hour, to take up a wager of his intimate friends that he muld not ride a certain distance in a given time. He lived for many years (1828-1848) in a large brick and white marble house, comer of Bond Street and the Bowery, the location a t that time being one of the select e d e n c e sections of the city. His wife was Catherine Corby, who was the daughter of Mar- garet Archer and John M e r e Corby, both of New York. Mrs. Perrin was a beautiful woman, highly cultured, with a winning personaiity, and gifted with a rich, sweet voice. She won admiration, as well as many friends, a t all times for her beauty and accomplishments, and died a t the age of thirty- four, deeply mourned. John Perrin and his wife Catherine

SEVENTH GENERATION

(I) John Corby Perrin, eldest son of John IV and Cath- rine Corby, was born February 10, 1814. He received the best education of the day in New York City, and entered into commercial pursuits and financial speculations a t a very early age, in that city. Later he was of the firm of Dominick and Perrin, New York and Cincinnati, Packers and Shippers. They lost heavily during the great Panic of 1856 and again during the Civil War, from which they never recovered. John C. Perrin died in Boston January 6,1885, a t the age of 72, buried in Marble Cemetery, New York City. His wife was Jane FaIconer Vogel, daughter of Matthew and AM (Falconer) Vogel, and granddaughter of John Falconer of White Plains. They were married in St. Stephen's Church November- IS, 1833, by Rev. Wm. Jackson, Rector. Mrs. John C. Peqrin was a cultured, brilliant

*Tri%ute by Rev. Wm. Jackson, D. D., of St. Stephen's Church., New York, copied from the Perrin family Bible:

"There passed away on the 21st July 1832, in the 34th year of her age, Catherine, wife of John Perrin. Mrs. Perrin possessed in an eminent degree the virtues that most adorn a woman's character. She didarged with exemplary fidelity the duties of a wife and mother. She was a warm- hearted friend and an agreeable acquaintance, and her deportment in her

era1 relations to society was worthy of universal imitation. To her F",band and children her loss is irreparable The circle in which she moved will seek in. vain for another, as cheerful wi$hout levity, and as d o u s without moroseness. The many objects of her bounty will deeply deplore the loss of ber who dispensed such ample means with so d i i - nating a benevolence. For those who were not with her during her long illness it may be satisfactory to know that she bore her acute and pro- tracted suffering with undisturbed resignation, uttering no complaint, and seeking by constant cheerfulness to encourage those around her. This angelic patience continued to the last moment of her life when heq words tiwe those of kindness and her look a smile d peace.'"

woman, and possessed of a keen memory; her reminis- cences of men and women and affairs of New York in the nineteenth century have not been without value, prov- ing a source of information and interest to her friends and relatives, till almost the close of her life. She had dways lived in New York, and was essentially allied to its interest, in events and persons. Withal, she was a home woman and attended well to her own affairs. She was a fascinating con- versationalist and a handsome woman, tall and graceful, and had a circle of friends that deIighted to be with her. She greatly interested herself and friends in work for the benefit of the Army during the Civil War, thereby evidencing some of the patriotic spirit of her Revolutionary ancestor and her Huguenot forbears. She witnessed seven fires from the win- dows of her home, 13 East Forty-ninth St., which had been caused by the mob during the Draft Riot, and, going out to her front steps, she addressed the throng of men in so appeal- ing a manner that they moved on, leaving the street in quiet. Mrs. Perrin died a t the age of 83, a t her home, 37 East Sixty- fourth Street, January 20, 1893. John C and Jane Penin were early identified with St. Bartholomew's Church.
