TO PRESERVE, I N CONVENIENT AND DURABLE
SHAPE, INFORMATION OF VALUE OF SEVERAL
OLD AND ALLIED FAMILIES OF AMERICA
PREFACE

HIS record of our maternal and paternal ancestors, in


T 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.

LAFXHMONT, New York


May 10, 1910
ANY a glowing tribute has been paid to the "exiles for
M 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
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
-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 d d .

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-
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.
PURDY

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,
ALLIED FAMILIES

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,

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 .
was the spelling by local records at the time of John Fauconier,
and was so adopted by the succeeding generations.

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
PURDY

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 t o New York.
Madame Knight gives most interesting memories of her stops
in it."

PARK FAMILY O F 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.

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
-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
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."
FAUCONNIER

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
ALLIED FAMILIES

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, M a y 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 t o South Carolina, leaving the eldest son,
Louis, in England.
FAUCONNIER

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."
Lord Cornbury to The Lords of Trade.
ALLIED FAMILIES

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 h c a s t e r 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.*

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,

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 mTestchesterCounty,
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.

arily ceased to exist soon after this date, when Peter Faucon-

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. T o 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
FAUCONNIER

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, a s early as 1684, gave this to his son, Samuel. To this was
added the following land.

Rye,* in 172I, 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 it 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 .'

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,

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 ofhis, 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.

JOHN FALCONER'S WAR SERVICES DURING


REVOLUTIONARY PERIOD

"War Department,
"The Adjutant General's Office.
"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 fors 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.
*Fauconnier, written by Record clerks Falconer, locally called Fau-
coneer. Variations in form of name, not materially affectin the sound,

were considered inconsequent. Many examples of such di erences are
found at this time in the records, and of these recorded variations having
been adopted by the families.

The Sands family in this country date back to Mr. James

humor, and his r e d y way of telling an a n d o t e , made him an
agreeable companion in the social circle. But it is as a Christ-

high tone of spiritual life took possesion of his affections, and
he seemed to consecrate his entire being to his God, when, in
the -prime of manhood, he allied himself to the Methodist
Episcopal Church. The ministers of Christ and all Christian
people were ever welcome guests a t his bountiful and spacious
home. His attendance upon the public and social means of

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 FORDHAM, NEW YORK -
-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.
ALLIED FAMILIES

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.
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 my r 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,
ALLIED FAMILIES

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 OF LANGUEDOC
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 1512 an eager demand for the Scriptures had
sprung up in France. Society became electric and was stirred
ALLIED FAMILIES

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 a t 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,
I635. 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,

*Daughter of Jean Bruneau, counselor. He was an eminent citizen,


whose family had obtained patents of nobility. Their chateau of La Cha-
boissiere is near la Viiedieu, ten miles south of Poitiers in Poitou.
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.
PERRIN

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

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
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
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 b a d e 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.'
*See Dr. George Chandler'sFamily Book. Mrs.Hedges,of Taunton,
Massachusetts, is a second great granddaughter of Capt. Joseph Chandler
and Susanna P e h .
ALLIED 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,
fIO1I'SE OF SO--1H P E R R I 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,

City, of which city he had been a resident since 1783;
"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 gracious
e 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-
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 sStreets,
t 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.

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%uteby 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 t o 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.
