Humphrey, [Fam. 146, S.=] She resided (1882) in Rochester, N. Y. When Harvey Humphrey was two years of age, his father, having bought a farm in East Bloomfield, Ontario Co., N. Y., then on the extreme Western borders of civilization, removed there with his family. Here, for some years, in his log-cabin, built with his own hands, he passed a life of hardship, with his strong right arm subduing the forest, letting in the sunlight where for centuries it had not shone, and making the wilderness to bud and blossom as the rose.

He bore bravely the yoke in his youth and found its blessing after many days in fearlessness of hardship and brave bearing of burdens, which seemed light in contrast with those of his early life. In 1816, he entered Hamilton College, and for four years held the first place in all his studies. His classmates were Bishop Ives, Rev. Albert Barnes, and Harvey Johnston, the famous western missionary, and ten others hardly less well-known. He graduated in 1820, pronouncing the Salutatory, and would have been Valedictorian but for the fact that he had neglected too

His later years were mellowed and lightened by pleasant and intimate converse with Demosthenes and Plato, with Horace and Virgil, and other Their works he studied critically in their own language. master-minds of Greece and Rome. They were his daily delight, recreation and solace, affording pleasant occupation to all his leisure hours, even to the last day of his life. The poetic temperament was in him most decided. In his earlier life, he was a most cherished and prominent contributor to the best literary publications of the day; and this work had such fascination for him, as to necessitate his entire declination of it, upon his entering upon the more arduous labors of his profession.* In 1851, his son, Oeorge Harvey, was admitted to practice, and the firm from this time continued to be H. & G. H. Humphrey until his death, which occurred in Rochester, N. Y., May 1st, 1877, at the age of 80 years. To the last he kept up his interest in current events and in the duties of his profession. Although his physical force abated, his mind remained clear and his memory perfect. His cheerfulness was never dimmed; every year he thought happier than the preceding. The day of life, with advancing years, grew more and more serene and unclouded until its growing light faded into the dawning of the other and sunnier shore, f

Here he married, 28 Aug., 1862, Sarah Frances Dennis, youngest daughter of Richard and Lucy Ann (Hooper) Dennis, of that city. She was born 8 Feb., 1840, in Lowell, Mass. Richard Dennis, now deceased, was son of Jonathan and Hannah (Sherman) Dennis, of Portsmouth, R. I., members of the Society of Friends. Shortly after his marriage. Dr. Humphrey proceeded to Washington with the Regiment, which was thence ordered to Suffolk, Va., and there and thereabout remained on duty till the expiration of its term of enlistment in 1863. Here he was joined by his wife, who shared his camp life (as she also did his subsequent life in the service in Louisiana) till, by General Orders, after the approach and threatened attack of the Rebels, the presence of ladies was prohibited in the command. At the expiration of this term of service.

Having been, long prior to the war, engaged on a collection of Humphrey genealogy, this work was now resumed, and Dr. Frederick Humphreys, of New York City, was soon heard of as interested in the same subject, and a conference between the two was had, leading to a fresh interest and impulse in the work. In 1870, through failing health, it was found necessary for the subject of this sketch to abstain from writing, and a change of residence was thought best. The then collected manuscripts of this work were accordingly turned over to Dr. Frederick Humphreys for completion and publication, and Dr. 0. M. Humphrey removed with his family, in the autumn of 1870, to Minneapolis, Minn., where, with recovered health, he still resides (1884), and has since been usefully practicing his profession, and in some measure continuing to assist in this collection and compilation. He is a member of the various medical societies of his school of practice, and one of the founders and Directors of the Homeopathic Hospital of Minneapolis.

" During Major Fagan's Indian Agency, and while he was absent from the nation, we were present at the paying of the government annuity to the Seminole Nation, of which Micconopy (Pond King) was then the head chief. The entire nation men, women and children had assembled, and were encamped romid the fort, waiting to receive their money, presents, etc. The important event had also attracted to the cantonment many white persons, officials, ex-officials, and others, among whom was Col. Gad Humphreys, who came to pay a visit to the tribe among whom he had so long dwelt as the representative and agent of the government. The chiefs greeted him with unusual cordiality, and seemed to esteem it an especial honor to be permitted to shake hands with the ex-agent and to drink his good health at the officers' mess table. One old chief, by the name of John Hicks, who had formerly been the head chief of the nation, but who, for some cause, like Col. Humphreys, had been removed, or
call it, was very extravagant in his demonstrations of friendship and respect for his fillen Col. There seemed to exist between them a peculiar relationship springing fiom some old reminiscence to both, and to which frequent allusions were made on the part of Hicks, by certain pantomimic gesticulations and grimaces, which always ended in a hearty grunt and a ]>roposition to shake hands. "Much curiosity having been expressed by the white visitors to know the meaning of all these mysterious demonstrations, which seemed to be perfectly understood and heartily enjoyed by the Indian chiefs, Capt. Graham promised to give us an account of what he called 'Col. Humphreys' and John Hicks' compromise.' Accordingly one night after supper, when Hicks had gone through his pantomime, accompanied as usual with an amount of incoherent gibberish and awkward oaths, much grunting and vehement protestations of friendship for Col. Humphreys, and had taken his seat on the floor in the corner, where he vainly endeavored to keep the mosquitoes from biting his bare legs, occasionally brandishing his fists and shaking his head at the Colonel, om- host, the commandant,

"Hicks was too crafty and too prudent to publicly manifest his daily increasing hostility to the whites, but it was plainly to be seen that he was exerting his influence to make his people discontented antl to incite them to insubordination.

Leaving the store in a turbulent manner, they mounted their ponies and rode towards the agent's house which stood by itself about half a mile distant, surrounded by a few cultivated acres. The Indians, who had their rifles with them, halted at a short distance from the house, while their chief. Hicks, who was considerably under the influence of liquor, rode boldly up to the gate, dismounted and staggered up the steps to the high piazza of the house, calling in a loud voice- for 'Humphreys!'

"For one who had occupied so prominent a position in mercantile and social life, Mr. Humphreys was singularly modest and retiring, and it was only with old familiar friends that he would occasionally revert to some of the enormous mercantile transactions in which he had been engaged; and so far as those in cotton were concerned, it is morally impossible that any one man can sell again, or have the control of such a mass of that material.

Humphreys' early youth was passed much after the fashion of the most favored of those working on the farm during the busy season and attending school during the winters. He enjoyed, also, the training and benefit of the library of his uncle Rev. (popularly called "Priest") Hallock; and, at the age of eighteen, was teaching school during the w^inters and pur-
studies during the summer, ending in his medical studentship with one of the most distinguished practitioners of his day, and from whose l)upilage several of the ablest physicians of Connecticut were graduated, and received his diploma from the State Medical Society of Connecticut, at Hartford, in 1808. He rode with Dr. Everest two years thereafter, and removed to Marcellus, Onondaga County, X. V., in 1810, where he at once assumed a prominent position in that county.

West Simsbury (now Canton), Ct. His father, Solomon Humphrey, was a farmer, and is described as "a man of good common school education, of more than ordinary taste for reading, of good common sense and unblemished reputation; temperate, industrious and frugal." He was married twice, and Heman was the oldest child of his second wife, Hannah Brown, the daughter of Captain John Brown, of West Simsbury, Ct., who died in the service of his country during the war of the Revolution. He was the grandfather of the renowned John Brown, of Osawatomie.-f Heman Humphrey's mother is represented as a woman of uncommon mental capacity, who did what she could for the education of her children, in those days when the books upon the shelf at home would hardly number a half-dozen besides the Bible, Assembly's Catechism, and Dihvorth's Spelling-Book; and those furnished by the district schools added but very few to the list. When Heman was about si.x years old his father removed to Burlington, Ct., where three years later the lad attended his first school, which was taught by a farmer in the neighborhood. At this time we also often find him bending with eager interest, by the light of pine torches or of the kitchen fire, over such books as Robinson Crusoe or the Pilgrim's Progress, furnished him from the small library collected by the pastor of the parish; or we see him watching impatiently for the post-rider who brought the weekly Hart/ord Courant. This was a very small sheet in those days, but the only newspaper that found its way into that retired region, apd no word it contained escaped the eye of the boy, hungry for wider knowledge than his restricted life aflxirded. From this time, during several years, his summers were occupied either on his father's farm

It was his habit during these seasons of labor to improve in study all the time that was his own, while the cattle were "baiting at the noon-spell."

I then fully embraced the Yet though " the strong decrees doctrines of the Shorter Catechism, from which I never swerved." ever remained to him a bulwark and defense, it is equally true that faith in God's dear Son as the Saviour of the world was the vital element which inspired his faith, his preaching ,and his life.

Theolog}' seems to have been almost literally the meat and the drink of the young divines, for in referring to this time he says: "Some theological question was proposed for discussion at almost every meal. Of the course pursued he says: "In these private schools there was no critical study of the original languages of the Scriptures. The period of study, which rarely extended over eighteen months, was almost wholly occupied in reading standard English theological authors, such as Hopkins, Bellamy, and, above all. President Edwards; also in writing disputations upon a long list of questions embracing the whole system of Christian doctrine, drawn from the Word of God, and embodied in the Westmimtter Assemhlys Catechism." If the truth thus sown though sound and vital was somewhat compact, it must in his case have fallen into productive soil, for we have, among many evidences of his theological ability as "When inafterwards developed, this testimony from a distinguished New England clergyman: stalled (in 1826) over the church at Amherst College, Dr. Humphrey gave the Council his system of theology, w-hich for clearness, for conciseness, comprehensiveness and beauty, they declared they had never heard equalled."

The burning of the town of Fairfield during the Revolutionary war (commemorated elsewhere in this work in the poem by General David Humphreys,*) had swept away the old church and parsonage. Owing to the poverty of the people they were obliged, in rebuilding these, as
as their own houses, to adopt the plainest style consistent with comfort. At the time of Humphrey's settlement among them, enterprise and progress were at a low ebb, and the Throughout the ten years of his ministry his zeal and labors for the temporal and spiritual welfare of the people were untiring. About a year after his settlement Roger Minot Sherman came to live in Fairfield, and was ever after a warm friend and an important helper to him in his work. On the 20th of April, 1808, Mr. Humphrey was married, in Farmington, Ct., by Rev. Noah Porter, the brother of the bride, to Sophia Porter, only daughter and youngest child of Deacon Noah and Rachel (Merrill) Porter, of Farmington. The family to which she belonged has had its abode through successive generations, since 1652, in Farmington Valley. There were three sons in the immediate family of Sophia Porter. The oldest was Robert, who was a missionary, teacher and preacher in Central New York, as early as 1801, when that part of the State was mostly a wilderness. He was also principal of the Oneida Academy at Clinton, N. Y., out of which Hamilton College grew. The second son was Edward, who was a teacher and preacher in Connecticut; and the third son was Noah, who was the honored and influential pastor of the Farmington church for more than sixty years. It was at his house that the first meeting of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions was held, September loth, 1810. There were five members of the committee for organization, previously appointed at Bradford, present Governor Treadwell (the chairman), Samuel Spring, Jonathan Lyman, Samuel Worcester, and Calvin Chapin. ISIr. Porter received the committee at his house, by special request of Governor Treadwell, and was present at their deliberations. In alluding to it he saj'S that the Board had his hardly gone from house when his aged father, who was living with him at the time, pledged himself to give five hundred dollars to the new enterprise, though this was probably a fourth or fifth of all that he possessed. One of Noah Porter's sons, Noah, is well known as a distinguished metaphysician, and as President, fur many years, of Yale College, while others of the family fill honored and responsible positions. Sophia Porter, who became the wife of Heman Humphrey, was born in Farmington, Ct. December 27th, 1785. She is described as attractive in person, with a gentle dignity and grace

During the period of Mr. Humphrey's ministry in Fairfield special attention was awakened in New England to the danger arising from the tide of intemperance which was sweeping over the land. It was at this time that he assisted in the organization of what was called the "Connecticut Moral Society." Its object was to secure a better observance of the Sabbath, to check intemperance and to encourage whatever would promote good morals. Mr. Humphrey's biographer* " says of him He was one of the earliest and most vigorous pioneers of the temperance movement. He assailed the evil with his wonted fearlessness, and, in the winter of 1811-12, preached several sermons to his congregation on the subject, filled with strong arguments and glowing appeals. His fervid words were not without effect. They were repeated in other places. The subject was brought before the Fairfield West Association, with which I\Ir. H"umphrey's church was connected. Resolutions were adopted by which the use of spirituous liquors was prohibited at meetings of the ministerial association, and pledges were made to discourage, by word and by example, both the use and the sale of ardent spirits." In referring to this movement, Mr. Humphrey says: "The reports of ministers and delegates at the next annual meeting were exceedingly encouraging. It appeared that a great change had been produced in the views and habits of all the more enlightened classes throughout the district. In some churches and congregations the consumption of ardent spirits had been reduced one third, in others, one half, and in others, more than half. In nearly all the respectable families within our limits, the decanters and glasses had been swept from the sideboards; a great many of our church members and others had adopted the principle

At the end of ten years of happy and successful labor in Fairfield, the health of Mr. yielded under the pressure of his work. His salary, also, of six hundred dollars, which was at first sufficient, became inadequate for the support of a growing family, as the war of 1 8 2 occasioned a rapid advance in the prices of the necessaries of life.

After his return his official duties were less burdensome, and the College was furnished with a full corps of eminent professors. "He was at this time a systematic student, devoting much of his leisure to literary composition. He was a regular contributor to the religious journals of the day.

most vigorous discourses was an address to the students of Amherst College, July 4th, 1828, the subject being "A Parallel betxyeen Intemperance and the Slave Trade." This address was printed, and gained a wide circulation. He delivered a discourse on "Indian Rights and our Duties," in 1829, which was occasioned by the forcible expulsion of the Indians from Georgia by a direct act of nullification, by the State, of treaties formed by the Federal Government. This address contained words of warning which in the light of to-day seem remarkably prophetic "Do you tell me that there is no possible danger that no man nor number of men will ever dare to assail our free and glorious institutions.' Let the history of past republics, or rather, let their tombstones decide between us. So it would have been said, when Washington and Jefferson were at the head of affairs, that no one would ever dare to disinherit or enslave the Indians, protected as they are by more than a hundred and fifty governmental treaties. And how much better are our parchment defenses than theirs.' If such encroachments, acquiesced in, do not preof his

and in gaining their confidence and reverent and by his frequent fatherly counsels to all, he manifested his deep interest in whatever concerned their true welfare. None who watched his daily life, whether it flowed on in even course or led through peculiar en^ergencies and trials, could doubt that the Christian truth he so earnestly proclaimed was his vital inspiration and strength. A touching illustration of the spirit with which he met sore personal bereavement is given by one of his former students: "In July, 1S40, President Humphrey's son Henry, then a member of the Sophomore Class, a young man of fascinating beauty and brilliant promise, was seized suddenly, in the midst of robust health, with an acute inflammatory disease, and died in a few hours. The next morning we were all surprised to see the President in his accustomed place at morning prayers in the chapel. His face was pale, and he had a worn and exhausted appearance, but he arose as the college bell ceased its ringing, and calmly, sweetly read, not any wail of lamentation and anguish, but the cheering words of the 103d Psalm: 'Bless the Lord, O viy soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name,' and so on to the impressive words, 'He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities,' closing with the words, 'Praise ye the Lord.' Then he offered such a prayer as would be likely to follow such a Scripture read under such circumstances a prayer that was full of tenderness but transparently trustful. There was nothing of stoicism or assumed absence of emotion in the service, but there was a quiet mastery of faith over feeling by a strength that was borrowed from the unseen and eternal."

Says one: "The children of his former parishioners seemed to have brought such memories out of their forming years that they regarded him with a reverence as nearly saintly as is consistent with Puritan character, and all felt that it was like a benediction simply to see him passing through our streets." As the years went on, the position accorded him in the town was almost phenomenal. In connection with very many families his relationship was truly patriarchal.

All the way through life he carried this trait. It sought the the good of his country, and considered the need of the little child as he walked without shade to school." His kindly feeling always extended in a marked degree to the animals under his care.

Dr. and Mrs. Humphrey had ten children: Edward, James, Sophia, and John, were born in Fairfield, Ct. Lucy, the first Mar}', and Henry, in Pittsfield, Mass. Zephaniah, the second Mary, and Sarah, in Amherst, Mass. In 1858, the surviving children and grandchildren of the family had the happiness of celebrating the Golden Wedding of their revered parents. It was an occasion for home gathering of all the scattered branches of the household, and of grateful and tender rejoicings. The citizens of Pittsfield shared heartily in the festivities, and manifested their interest by gifts which are treasured as heir-looms in the family. The children of those friends in Fairfield who had welcomed the young bride to her new home, in 1808, came to share the sunset glow of the fiftieth anniversary. In the spring of 1861, Dr. Humphrey, after a short illness, during which rapturous gleams and anticipations of the Heavenly state broke at intervals through the clouds of delirium, "fell on sleep," April 3d. His burial was attended from the Congregational church, and a most appreciative sermon was preached by Rev. John Todd, pastor of the church at that time. It was no formal tribute, it was but the natural sequel of all that had gone before, that when he was borne to the grave, the stores along the line of the procession were closed, all the bells of the village were tolled, and those who had abandoned all other duty went in solemn order to the place where the revered form was laid.

The parents on their return, learning how the little ones had broken the Sabbath, were righteously indignant. The jdant had not only been pulled up, but set out before sundown The children were severely reprimanded, and to make the admonition effectual, according to the custom of the good old times, they were also punished, and with the instrument of transgression.

"Gen. Ansel Humphreys, one of our oldest and most respected citizens, died at his resiIowa,) on the evening of the 21st April, 1873, after a brief illness, his age. He removed to this city (then Bloomington) in the spring of 1840. His life has been one of great activity and energy. Possessed of a vigorous physical constitution, large intellectual faculties, high moral attributes, and indomitable resolution, he pre-eminently became a leader in the communities in which he lived. His ability and singleness of purpose soon won the largest measure of respect, and his warm, generous disposition and open-handed charity, never closed to the wants of the needy when in his power to aff'ord relief, secured for him attachment, love and esteem. "About the year 181 2,, Gen. Humphreys was enrolled in the Hartford County Militia; became Brigadier-General of the First Brigade of Connecticut Militia. He was discharged in 1840, with the rank of 'Major-General commanding, having held every grade of office in the service. When about leaving Connecticut he was offered, but declined, the position of Adjutant-General of the State. For some fifteen years he severally filled the offices of Deputy-Sheriff", Sheriff", Justice of the Peace, and other positions of honor and trust. In 1838, he was elected to and served one term in the State Senate. In 1S51, he was appointed United Slates Commissioner for the State of Iowa, which position he held until the day of his death. "It was as a Mason that Gen. Humphreys was most widely known, and his admirable qualities shone most conspicuously. He had been a member of the order for fifty-five years, and devoted the larger portion of his life to continued and active labor in its service. He has filled

At the close of the exercises the procession, under conduct of Major Van Vliet, wended its w^ay to the silent city of the dead, where all that is mortal of our old neighbor and friend lies wrapped in the quiet of dreamless repose. "From Connecticut, Mr. Humphrey removed with his parents, in 1818, to Sheldon, Wyoming Co., N.

and in the religious and secular education of its youth. He was a strong advocate of temperance reform and took his seat as one of the city fathers upon the no-license issue; was for several years a live member of the city Board of Education, and rendered valuable service to his fellow-citizens in that capacity. For thirty-five years before coming to Lake City, he had been a consistent and earnest member of the Congregational church, and for thirty-six years prior to his death, had held the office of deacon in connection therewith. He remained in the enjoyment of robust health until August, 1 88 1, when he was attacked with severe hemorrhage of the lungs. From this he speedily recovered, and seemed to have fully regained his health; but, in November, 1882, other symptoms of disease manifested themselves, and from that time until his death he remained an invalid."

While at the head of a scouting approached the residence of the well-known rebel, Scott, who had just been men, and by personating a confederate and shouting "Friend Scott, the Yanks are upon us,'' decoyed him from the house. He came forward with his gun, saying, "We are all right; Morgan's men are not two miles away. They have just been here, and I will go with you at once to their camp." Col. Humphrey immediately responded, "You are my prisoner, lay down that gun," at the same time leveling his old Belgian rifle at him. Scott exclaimed "Don't shoot," and at once surrendered. At a signal from Col. Humphrey his men, who were lying on the ground some twenty rods away, came forward at a double-quick and marched Scott into the Union camp. From thence he was forwarded to Camp Chase, Ohio, as

* In the course of the trial it became known that several of the Governors had been imposed upon and had issued pardons to by mistake or fraud. An instance occurring under Gov. Seward's administration is worth repeating. In one of the counties on of emigrants, Swedish or Dutch, had moved in simple, ignorant peopleand a gang of burglars in their neighborhood had broken open a store and robbed it, among other things, of a bolt of cloth. This cloth they brought to the house of these people, by whom it was secreted and kept from its owners. In due lime they were detected, tried and sent to prison lor receiving stolen goods. No great time had elapsed after their incarceration before the prison authorities learned that they might soon e.vpect an addition to their number quite out of the regular way of the Courts. In this dilemma they appealed to the Governor, as they had no focilities lor a lying-in asylum. The Governor at once saw the necessity of providing for the woman, and directed the clerk to make out a pardon. The clerk, cither failing to comprehend the situation, or through inability to distinguish the sex of the foreign names, filled in the name of the husband instead of that of the wile, and the pardon was duly signed by the Governor and forwarded to the

Alvah Jefferson [8] (Capt. Enoch, Aaron) was born at AUord, Berkshire Co., Mass. He married 4 Sept., 1816, Maria Polly (dau. of Capt. Isaac) Tuttle, of Alford, b. 6 Muh., 1799; died at Ludlowville, N. Y., 17 May, 1876, s. 83 years. He died 6 Mch., 1884. After living some six years at Alford, they removed to the town of Brutus, near .iuburn, Cayuga Co., N. Y., from whence, after
removed to the homestead on the hill north of Ludlowville, Tompkins Co., N. Y., where they purchased the farm until then owned and occupied by Jonah Tooker, Esq., at which place they lived in family state for a period of fifty years, and where three of their six children were born to them. Bringing with them, from Massachusetts, a fair start in life, and those sterling, puritanic habits of economy and integrity, and a
four years' residence, they
hearty faith in the covenant of works, they were prospered. Wealth and abundance flowed m upon them, but only to increase their and patient industry. Their house became the resting place and temporary home of nearly two generations of Methodist and other Clergymen, who always found a generous welcome, a bounteous table, and a hearty furtherance in every earnest evangelical

or religious work. Mother Sperry's life was an exemplification of her faith. From early dawn until long after all other lights in the neighborhood were out, and all households asleep, she was cheerful and busy in her round of household duties. Never unemployed, never triflingly employed, was her practice if not her life-long motto. In her early days she was a remarkably fine singer, possessing not only a good but well-trained voice, and all through life, up to a late period, an exceptionably good one. Sacred music, usually led by the father, and united in by every member of the family, was
the refrain of daily
life, as it was the joy of every recreation. At the Church, Prayer and Social Meetings, for more than sixty years Father Sperry was the chorister or leader, and Mother Sperry his always able and efficient assistant. In the days of anti-slavery, when the slave and his cause had few friends, and when it cost something to be known as such, the "House on the Hill" and the "Home of the Sperrys' " were known far and wide as the abode of staunch friends and firm supporters of

Every branch of Church work felt the influence of her contributions and zeal. Her hand was ever ready, her purse was ever open, and whoever else might fail or falter, she could always be counted upon as a liberal contributor and an earnest helper. Asa mother and manager of her household ^he had few equals, and she brought to her aid a well-stored mmd and rare practical sense. Although not given to warm or frequent manifestations of afliection, yet her children were her idols, and for them no toil good was too long, no sacrifice too great. Her economy and neatness were remarkable. Nothing was wasted nothing mislaid or lost; and often, long years after an article or garment had been used and forgotten by others, if wanted, it was produced front some secure resting place as fresh and as useful as ever. Her memory of names, dates and circumstances was wonderful. As from intuition and without effort, the names, dates, births, marriages and deaths of her relations, ancestors, connections, friends, or even casual acquaintances, could be given on the instant and in the course of ordinary conversation a gift which she had inherited from her mother, and which has descended to some of her d.-iughters and grand-daughters. She had always and almost stoical contempt for physical pain or suffering, and all through lite, and even during the terribly severe agony of her last illness, from one of the most painlul diseases known, she was never heard to murmur or complain.

In the presence of judge and jury he was calm, unimpassioned, clear and convincing; his manner urbane and considerate towards others, and his style as a speaker, graceful and attractive. "He dreiw his principles of law, and of the ethics that were to be applied to causes before the courts, not only from tekt-books and adjudged cases, but from that Higher Law to which he acknowledged his obligations, and to which he was never ashamed to appeal." He was a model of gentlemanly manner, and of a Christian spirit in the pursuit of his profession, and it was justly said of him by a client that "he never sought to press, beyond what was right and just, the interest of his client, to the injury of his opponent's client." As a politician he was remarkable for fidelity to principle, devotion to his party, and for the great strength of his personal attachments; and he was a rare instance of a lawyer and polihis

Sheldon Pease was born in Derby, New Haven County, Conn., 26 Aug., 1809. In 1S17 he left Derby and went to Black Rock, Erie County, N. Y., to reside with his uncle, Sheldon Thompson. While residing in Black Rock, in the year 1818, he witnessed the building of the steamboat Walk-in-the- Water, and was on her deck when she was launched into the Niagara River at Black Rock. The Walk-in-theVVater made an excursion from Black Rock to Point Abino, on the 14 September, 1818, and Sheldon Pease witnessed it as an attachee of the " Horn Breeze Brigade." After navigating Lake Erie until 1821, she encountered a severe gale and was driven ashore in Buffalo Bay, a complete wreck; he assisted in taking care of a portion of the cargo shipped by S. Thompson & Co., as it came ashore. He al.^o witnessed the launching of the steamboat Superior, the immediate successor of the Walkm-liie-

For a number of years subsequent to 1817, Robert Hunter and associates at Albany, managed a transline from Albany to Black Rock, composed of freight wagons drawn by five or six horses, transand valuable goods to the latter point, and returning loaded principally with furs belonging to the American Fur Company, which were collected at Green Bay and Mackinac and vicinity, and brought to Black Rock by water. Sheldon Thompson contracted to excavate a portion of the channel for the Erie Canal, between Black Rock and Buffalo; this was the first movement of earth in the construction of the canal between those points, and the first day's work thereon was performed by Cui-tis Thompson and Sheldon Pease. In 1822 Mr. Pease left Black Rock and went to Oswego to reside, where he entered the employment of Alvin Bronson, who was engaged in the transportation business. While in Mr. Bronson's employ he discharged the canal boat Carnarvon, Captain P. F. Parsons, at Oswego, she being the first canal boat that went from Troy to Oswego with merchandise. WTiile in the same employ he assisted in loading the schooner Winnebago, Captain V. R. Bill, of Oswego, being the first vessel that passed through the Welland Canal with a cargo of merchandise, Her cargo each way did not exceed fifty tons. In the year 1832, while a member of destined to Cleveland, Ohio. the firm of Gidings, Baldwin, Pease & Co., he loaded the canal boat Cleveland, Captain W. T. Mather, at Cleveland, with merchandise tor Portsmouth, Ohio, being. the first canal boat that reached the Ohio River from the lakes. In the year 1837, while a member of the firm of Griffith, Pease & Co., they toadod the schooner 0/tio, owned by Sheldon Pease, with a cargo of flour, provisions, etc., and disposed of the same at the ports of Chicago, Michigan City, St. Joseph and Racine, for the wants of emigrants. The firm of Gidings, Baldwin, Pease & Co. was dissolved at the end of the year- 1836, and was succeeded by the firm of Griffith, Pease & Co., who built the steamboat Cleveland, at Huron, in 1835 or :836, intended for carrying passengers exclusively between Cleveland and Buffalo, and one of the finest passenger steamers then afloat. The firm of Griffith, Pease and Co. was dissolved in 1838, and was succeeded by the firm of Pease & Allen This firm did a large and successful business for many years, building propellers, sailing vessels in the same year. and canal boats, and fiom-ing mills at Buffalo and Oswego. The firm built the propeller Emigrant at Cleveland, it being the third built on this continent. The firm also built the Fhcenix propeller, which burned at .Sheboygan Pier.

The second was built at Buffalo and named the Hercules. The Emigrant was The fourth was built at Buffalo, and was named the Samson. the third, and was built at Cleveland. In 1853 Mr. Pease was appointed General Western Freight Agent of the Erie Railroad, located at Cleveland, and occupied that position until 1857. During the period of his agency of the railroad he contracted and built the following propellers at Cleveland: Olean, Elmira; and the Nl'm York at Buffalo. These propellers operated and ran between Cleveland and Dunkirk. In 1857, in connection with Dean Richmond, the New York Central Railroad and the Cleveland and Pittsbiu-gh Railroad, a line of propellers was established between Buffalo, Cleveland and Chicago, under the management of Mr. Pease, who was part owner of tbe propellers Galena, MenJota, Winona and Dakota. The propeller Idaho was built at Cleveland in 1861, by Dean Richmond, Sheldon Pease, Henry A. Richmond and J. M. Richmond. In 1860-61 Dean Richmond and Sheldon Pease purchased the following propellers: Fountain City, Evergreen City, Chicago and Cuyahoga. The propeller Fountain City was rebuilt at Buffalo in 1865, and made the finest passenger propeller running between Buffalo and Chicago. About 1842 the schooner Acorn and another schooner collided about two and a half miles from the piers at Cleveland, and sank in eighty-two feet of water; she was believed to be an entire loss. At that time Pease & Allen owned the steamboat United States, and with her and the aid of a vessel on each side of the wreck, the Acorn was raised and taken into harbor; the vessel was saved and the cargo in a damaged condition. In the month of February, 1870, John Allen, President of the Western Transportation Company, purchased of the Buffalo, Cleveland and Chicago line, the propellers Idaho, Fountain City and Chicago, of Sheldon Pease, then
from the late transportation business. Nothing need be added to the above to indicate that Sheldon Pease has been one of the most prominent men connection with the lake marine. Duiing his long life his character has been fully established as one reflecting honor upon himself and his associates.

A suflerer from the same insidious and deadly disease by which his father was stricken down, Mr. Humphrey had borne for years a heavy burden of infirmity and pain. But such was the elasticity of his spirit, that, in the intervals of comparative comfort and precarious health, he seemed as bright and blithe of temper as if suffering and debility had been to him unknown experiences. Compelled, long since, to forego the literary and editorial labors which he greatly enjoyed, and finally to retire from all forms of regular occupation, he retained, to the end, the sprightliness of mind, the wit and mirthfulness, the relish for society, the constant hopefulness and the cheerful amiability, which, from early life, had attracted the interest Richer and ol all who knew him, and had engaged to him. closely the affections of his friends. nobler elements than these came out, too, in his character, especially in the later months of his

the registers of Lvme Regis of the (Anw\-1) Harmon, who has made
subsequent extensive researches in regard to the matter, sends us the following excerpt from the Parish Church Registers of that town: "5 July, 1655, Thomas Wise and Susanna Humphry, of Lime, were published three several Lord's days, and were married by Mr. John Davy, P., in J. presence of Thomas Wise, William Courtney and Francis Wells. Reg." If this Susanna was the wife of Samuel Humphrey, it proves that she was still at Lyme Regis in 1655, and that Samuel must have died betw^een 1648 and the date of her second marriage; and, therefore, that they could not have gone to live at St. Malo, as conjectured by Col. Chester. "It is, however, somewhat remarkable," remarks Mrs. Harmon, "that the marriage of Susanna Humphrey should be the only entry of the name found from earliest date i:p to 1700."

into the present century. J It was located in that part of Dorchester now known as Harrison Square. Tradition states that Jonas was a glove-maker by trade, in England, but that, after settling

The traditional account mentions only two sons and two daughters^ Elizabeth and Susanna, while Mr Clapp names the same and adds Sarah, who was buried in 1638, and also says there was another daughter, who married a Mr. Foye. He is probably correct, js in the transmitting of family records and traditions it was common to omit the names of such children as died young, and sometimes all who died without issue: and also because there is no evidence that there was in the Colony at the time any person or lamily ol the name, excepting that of Patentee and Deputy-Governor John Humphrey, of Lynn- He had a daughter Sai:ah. for whom the above could Of this family there is no account of the marriage not well be mistaken, as she had not died so early, as see Winthiop, Vol II, p 45 So it is probable that their omission from the recorded and of more than one daughter Ann, his eldest, to William Palmer (p 90).

While the momentous struggle that brought about this important measure was in progress,
became necessary to provide a' new form of government for the administration of the infant when the old condition of things had been cast off, a convention was called for the purpose, to meet at Cambridge, and in July, 1779, Major Humphrey, then 68 years of age, was the man selected by the town to be its representative upon that occasion, and to assist in the deliberations of that convention which was to form a new constitution for the State in its changed relations; and in the following year he was appointed upon a committee by the town to consider and report upon the constitution thus provided.

In the various plans and measures that were proposed to resist the tyranny of the ministers of the Crown, and to provide for any emergency that might suddenly arise, no town was more forward and energetic, nor any that entered more heartily and cordially into any measures that promised the most speedy success. For the committees of safety of the group of towns lying southerly from Boston, towards Plymouth, Weymouth was a local centre, and her citizens were among the leading spirits at their meetings.

When the wisest heads were needed upon important emergencies, he, oftener, perhaps, than any other individual, was selected to express the wishes of the town, particularly when the neighboring towns, or the State, were concerned, as when, 21 September, 1768, he was appointed upon a committee by the town to meet in Boston to counsel with like committees <if other towns

As illustrative of the feeling of the town, and the care taken that the public business should be wisely and judiciously performed, it may be mentioned that it had become a custom of the town, upon important questions, to give positive and detailed instructions to its representatives, and some of these are entered upon the records in full, and are very able papers.

DESCENDANTS OF
EBENEZER HUMPHREY,
OF
a Son of Arthur
Humphrey,
of
Woodstock,
Ct.
I- Ebenezer' Humphrey is said to have been one of thirty who came from England and settled in Oxford, Ma-ss., in 1713. He is supposed to be the son of Arthur Humphrey, of Woodstock, Conn.* In the copy of a deed conveying the lands in that place to the "Second Company of Settlers, "f at that date, his name occurs as one of those to whom the grant was made. In the "draft of y first Division of Land voted to be drawn on January y^ iS"', 17". To each man of the 30 to his house lot his choice according to the lot he draws each man's lot to be 60 acres," Ebenezer Humphrey was number 7.Oxford Records. His lot of land was the same that had been previously assigned to one Boudinot or Bouderie, a French Huguenot, who had afterward settled in Boston. The French church and burying-ground were on the same Humphrey. The remains of the church, a log lot, and near, the dwelling-house of Ebenezer'
resided in Woodstock, Conn. He married Rachel and the dates of birth of their eight children are Woodstock. Arthur is entered as "son of Arthur," and the others as children "of Arthur and Rachel." Woodstock was "New Roxbury," and the name "Arthur Humphrey" is found in the list of those who settled there in i6S6. "These colonists were all men of good position and character, connected with the best famihes of Roxbury" (Mass.). In distribution of house. lots on the westward hill, Arthur Humphrey has twelve acres, " west of Peacock's, and bounded west by highway." Mr. Humphrey removed to Ashford, Conn., about 1719-20. It is recorded that he "and other sons of Woodstock helped to lay the foundations of Ashford." (See History of Windham County, Conn., by Miss E. D. Larned, vol. i., pp. 22, 26, 45, 233, 549.

It is about a mile southerly of the inn, kept many years by the Campbell family, at the union two great roads from Boston and Worcester, about fifty miles from Boston. * * * In May, 1S25, I visited Capt. Ebenezer Humphrey, and obtained from him satisfactory information concerning the place of this second fort (to which allusion has previously been made in the article from which this is taken), and the meeting-house, and the burying-ground. Captain Humphrey was in his eightyfourth year. He told me that his grand-father was from England, and that his father was from Woodstock, and came to Oxford to keep garrison. He himself now lives where his father lived, about half a mile west from Oxford village. His house is near a mill standing upon a small stream that runs on the left, near the great road leading to Norwich." Capt. Ebenezer Humphrey was 20 years of age when his father, Ebenezer, aged 70, told him about the fort, Zi.c.Mass. historienl

Mr. Humphrey was of a roving disposition; followed a sea-faring life for forty years, and was a successful navigator. He commanded a number of ships at different times, both at sea and on the lakes; was commander of three different steamers, at different times, in the passenger trade between Milwaukee and Grand Haven. He has not sailed since 1869. He now lives in Milwaukee, and is in his seventy-fifth year. He has held many civil offices since taking up his abode on the land; has held the office of County Supervisor, Alderman three years, and member of the State Legislature; was Vice-President of a Marine and Fire Insurance Company; was, for about three years. Inspector of the Marine Board of Underwriters, for the inspection of vessels, captains, and mates. The last office held was that of Harbor Master, at Milwaukee, for five years. He has also been ISIaster of a Masonic lodge. To his interest we are especially indebted for much of the history of this branch of the family. Res. at 292 Hanover St., ^lilwaukee, Wis.

Capt. Jamks J. Humphrey, of Yarmouthville, Me., in his Genealogy of the Humphrey Family of North Yarmouth (8vo, pp. 23, published at Yarmouth, Me., 1882) credits this Thomas, b. It is possible (as far as dates and ages go) that 1687-8, as the eldest son of George Humphrey. this George Humphrey, the grantl-son of the above-mentioned George Lane, by his daughter Hannah, was married by 1687; though we have, in Hingham Records, no record of the fact, or of any children credited to him. If so, the connection of the North Yarmouth Family of Humphrey with the Lieut. -Gov. John Humfrey Family would be pretty fairly proven.

Major William went with Arnold on the Quebec expedition; was captured, and was a prisoner nine months at Quebec. During that time he kept a journal, in which he made daily entries.

at Zanesville, Ohio, in Feb., 1813. He settled in Coshocton Co., near the present town of Walhonding, and on 18 Sept., 1814, he was married to Sallie (dau. of Joshua) Sweet, who was born in Cherry Valley, N. Y., 12 Aug., 1796. In this place he resided until 1S38, conducting the business of a farmer and stock-raiser. Annually, for many years, he shipped large numbers of cattle and hogs by flat-boat down the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers to New Orleans. These were perilous undertakings, as the return trip must needs be made by land, either on foot or on horseback, and subject to the depredations of adventurers and hostile tribes of Indians. On more than one occasion he was attacked by disease, and weeks and months elapsed before he could proceed. During such absences, affairs at the farm were carried on by the wife and children,

"they needn't be called a neiv regiment any longer," and were "old enough for the service," and he afterward practically confirmed it by invariably using and trusting them as veterans. Before reaching the front, Col. Church resigned, and the full command devolved on Col. Humphrey. He was not commissioned as Colonel till 21 May, 1863, to rank from 24 Jan., 1863. After a good deal of marching and skirmishing in northern Mississippi, Col. Humphrey landed his regiment at Milliken's Bend, above Vicksburg, 26 Jan., 1863, and having performed a prominent part in the digging and maneuvering of that army to approach that stronghold, found himself camped,

killed during the charge, as nothing had been seen or heard of him since he crossed the ridge. "Gen. Ransom had ordered a coffin for the reception of the corpse, so certain was he of Humphrey's death. The latter, however, turned out to be safe, and during the same evening appeared, to the great delight and astonishment of all, at Gen. Ransom's headquarters, where the coflin was there in readiness After passing the ridge, Col. Humphrey lay down closely upon the ground, as it was impossible for a human being then to be visible above it and live. In this condition, with the mad cannon balls screaming over him and plowing around his body, covering him with dirt and benumbing his limbs, he remained until evening, when he noiselessly crept from his precarious position and appeared so suddenly and unexpectedly in camp, as before related."* Thus failed utterly two desperate and heroic attempts at assault of the rebel works; regular seige followed, with the historic result of capture. Col. Humphrey, at the head of his men, was one of the first to enter the city. Thence sent against Natchez; thence, in October following, returned to Vicksburg. He passed the winter in garrison and picket duty, in fortifying, and in receiving recruits from the north for his depleted ranks. Sent on the Red River Expedition the next spring, he was conspicuous in the destruction of Fort De Rossay, and in the retreat on steamer, by fortifying his decks with hard bread and bales of hay, and fighting, with his sharp shooters, both the infantry and artillery of the enemy; and on the retreat by land from Grand Ecenes, as rear guard, by constantly fighting and always whipping the flushed and victorious enemy.

His promotion had been applied for, and after his death the Adjutant-General of the army wrote that some of the strongest recommendations for his promotion were in his office that had ever come into it. Promotion by brevet was confirmed after his death "for gallant and distinguished conduct."

in the year
Of his parents and more remote ancestors nothing 1745, and landed at Philadelphia. is now known. They probably died in Ireland. He had one uncle in this country, who was among the early settlers of Londonderry. His name was William Humphrey, and he settled, lived
and died on a farm situated on what is still called Humphrey's Hill, in the south part of the town of Londonderry, N. H. James Humphrey, soon after his arrival in America, left Pennsylvania and came to Londonderry, and about the year 1751 married Hannah Thompson. Of her ancestors nothing is known, but it is supposed that her parents came from Ireland and lived and died in Londonderry. After this marriage, they rented land in Londonderry, in which town all
their children
were born.
About the year 1756 they removed to Derryfield, now the city of Manchester, where he purchased a farm on what is called Humphrey's Brook. It was situated one mile west of ]McGregor's Bridge, and three-fourths of a mile east of the City Hall. He lived on that farm six or seven years and then sold it to his wife's brother, Hugh Thompson, and moved to Londonderry. The sum received for the farm was probably not more than $200. He next went to the State of New York, to a town called Cherry Valley. Being much pleased with the country, he returned with the intention of removing his family to Cherry Valley, but as his wife was unwilling to remove to such a distance from Londonderry, he gave up the plan and purchased a lot of unimproved land, containing 100 acres, of Deacon Taggart, situated in the south part of Londonderry, in what is called Colray. The price paid for the land was probably not more than $150. He there built a small frame house, 25x20 feet, divided into three apartments one kitchen and two bedrooms. He there lived, and by close application to labor and the assistance of his sons, they cleared a portion of his farm and obtained a comfortable living and enjoyed as much happiness as falls to the lot of families in general. While he lived in Derryfield, he enlisted in the army, in a company commanded by Capt. John Stark, and served in two campaigns in the French war. James Humphrey died in 1794, aged 81 years. Hannah, his wife, survived her husband seven years, and died in 1801, aged 88 years. She died from drowning in a well, into which she had fallen while laboring under abaration of mind. They were both buried in the cemetery in Derry, but there is no monument over their graves.

His name and that of John Humphrey are mentioned in said deed, and the residue of this patent was then not sold, but must soon after been located by Charles Clinton, John Welling, Alex. Denniston, John Reed, Patrick McClaugry and a family named Carskaden, whose lots embraced the whole residue of the patent. As to the country from whence he emigrated I have no record, but suppose as Mulliner came to this country in Governor Burnet's family and was his gardner, he must have emigrated from England; and as John Humphrey located his farm adjoining his, and about the same time, he must have emigrated from the same place. None of the family are living here at present except a son of Robert Humphrey, who was a son of the branch Yours &c., of the family who removed to some part of Connecticut before my remembrance.

from the Navy Department directing that she should be broken up.

All such ships have a history, and the history of this one is e.xceptionally
were a matter of writing her obituary, there would be no default of detail. She was one of the 1794 by Congress to be completed, launched and put into commission. It is a curious fact his Naval History, three of these ships, viz., the United .States, the Constellation and the Constitution, were still afloat and in the service, neither having been long out of commission. The Constitution carried forty-four guns. She with the other ships had been got afloat the year previous. She was a large vessel, with batteries of thirty twenty-four-pounders on her gun deck such a ship as the EngUsh'were then in the habit of rating as a thirty-eight. She went into the West India Squadron under the command of Captain Samuel Nicholson, and under the flag of Commodore Barry, then senior ofliicer of the service, with a general rendezvous at Prince Rupert's Bay. Her consorts made several important captures from the French, but there is no special mention of her own. Her crew were engaged in the cutting out of a French letter of marque at Port au Platte, under the command of Mr. Hull, an ofiicer afterward to be distinguished. The Constitution did not emerge into her private and personal glory until some time after. Congress, in iSoi, saved her from the ignominy of being disposed of. In 1804 she was in the squadron operating against Tripoli under Preble, and distinguished herself by her fierce attack upon the town, batteries and castle. It was remarked at the time that though she was long within the reach of the enemy's grape, many of which hit her, she had not a man hurt. In fact, she was always a lucky ship. In this action she had several of her shrouds, back-stays, trusses, spring stays, chains, lifts and a great deal of her running

When there was a talk Her service during the war may of running Commodore Stewart for the Presidency, they gave the name to him. be summed up as follows: In the course of two years and nine months she had been in three actions, had been twice dangerously pursued, and had taken five vessels of war. Sailors boasted of her, as they told how she had never been ashore and never dismasted. She had been fighting all her life, with constant success and with a minimum of loss. Naval historians explain her good fortinie by the fact that she had always been well commanded. Most of her crews, during her last two cruises, were hardy New Kngland men almost as well qualified to fight the ship as
her
officers.
" The Constitution* was designed by Jo.shua Humphreys, of Philadelphia, and was constructed at Boston, under New Bedford, Mass. The point at which she was built is now Wharf. She had very distinguished men to look after her construction Captains Barry, Dale, Nicholson and Truxton. Old Paul Revere furnished the copper bolts and spikes. Originally she was built of live

There is hardly an inch of her original wood in her now. Singularly, she had bad luck in launching. Two attempts were made to get her into the water; only the third was successful. Before she sailed for Tripoli she was recoppered with copper made in the United States. The Constitution was at Charlestown, Mass., in 1834, when Commodore Elliott was in command of the station. He was a warm admirer of General Jackson and had placed a figure of that personage on the bow of the ship, greatly to the disgust of the Whig majority This figurehead an enthusiastic young man named Samuel P. Dewey sawed off and carried away in the of Boston. night. He had the impudence to carry the head to Washington with the intention of presenting it to General Jackson, but after he arrived there he was dissuaded from doing so. This figurehead is still preserv'ed at Annapolis. During the War of the Rebellion, the Constitution was laid up for a time; but afterward, during the same trouble, she was employed as a practice ship at Annapolis. She was in the training squadron for about three years. "Such are the main facts in the history of this famous ship. She has been sedulously cared for, until now, it appears, she is worth caring for no longer. No poet will now come to her rescue, and ask, as a better fate for her, that she be given 'to the God of storms, the lightning and the gale.' Naval warfare has entirely changed since she won her great battles against wonderful odds; but she will always be honorably mentioned in the naval history of the country, as a noble exemplar of the tactics which gained great victories, man to man and gun to gun."

I left the note at his residence on Front street, a few squares above the Navy Yard. The next day found me at my seat in the office, from which, to do myself justice, I must say I was never absent during business hours. "At the hour of ten o'clock Mr. Humphreys entered, and after the morning salutation, blandly and courteously rendered, opened the ball by saying, 'I am here at your request, Mr. 'Sit down,' said Peters, 'I sent for you to meet Mr. Izakoff, the Russian Ambassador; Peters.' he has something to say to you.' To 'Sam,' as Mr. Peters with friendly familiarity called him, Mr. Izakoff was a stranger, but no surprise or curiosity was manifested, and he quietly subsided At the same time Mr. Izakoff entered, and after a courtly and graceful bow to Mr. into a chair. Peters, as graceful as ever Chesterfield practiced, he turned to Mr. Peters an enquiring look. Peters responded by introducing Humphreys, with the remark: 'This is the gentleman you desire to meet; he is the Constructor at this port, and to his skill are due the swiftness, staunchness and durability of most of the naval and mercantile ships built at this port.' Izakoff then informed Humphreys that he had solicited the interview with the view of engaging him in the service of his master, the Emperor of Russia, to organize and found a Navy for Russian defense. He said his instructions were to procure the best talent, regardless of cost. He had thought on the matter and was prepared to offer a compensation proportionate to the services expected.

"Some days after the interview between Izakoff, Peters and Humphreys, Joseph" Hopkinson, afterward Judge of the United States District Court, entered the office and enquired what was meant by a story of an interview between Izakoff and Humphreys. Peters was an excellent raconteur, and while the story was being told, Hopkinson stood with his hands clasped before him, the very embodiment of silence and attention. When the climax had been reached, he waved his right hand around his head and said in a voice thick with suppressed emotion: 'Had he done otherwise he would not have been his father's child.'

A few weeks subsequent to this march, Humphreys made a reconnoissance October 16-19, >S62 into Virginia, which was an operation perfect in its kind. This report bears the following indorsement of his superior: 'General Humphreys accomplished in a most satisfactory manner the object of the expedition, and carried out most judiciously the instructions of the commanding general.'

" Although Fortune had hitherto frowned upon his advancement, she afforded him opportunity, about three months afterward, at the first battle of Fredericksburg, December 13, 1862. There Humphreys displayed himself in the full magnificence of his imexceeded and unsurpassable intrepidity and commandership. * * In this battle excellent troops were coldly and cruelly ordered to dash themselves to pieces to no purpose. They were ordered into a shambles to be slaughtered, and they were so. The Confederates' charge, on the third day at (Gettysburg, courageous as it was, will nevertheless, upon examination, scarcely enter into a close comparison with the Union assaults upon Marye's Heights. The Confederates in July, 1863, had clear ground before them, and there were no works to carry in their front; whereas the Union troops had not only to cross a bridgeless canal, but to assail a wall which was equal to a fortification, under every species of deadly and concentrated fire of sheltered musketry, including Barksdale's unerring riflemen, with heavy reserves in the rear, and of tiers of batteries. * * When Bumside ordered Sumner to storm Marye's Heights, the sturdy veteran, while clearly estimating the perils in

These poor fellows, disheartened by several checks, and thinking perhaps as well of their liberation so near at hand, had lain down and continued deaf to the threats as well as to the enUeaties of their conunander.

"The third occasion was intermediate, when the elements of triumph were prepared by Humphreys the Mine Run campaign. How he felt, in consequence of the failure through the criminal negligence of subordinates, can never be known, because he has seen fit to be silent in his little work, Gettysburg to the Rapidan, published by Charles Scribner's Sons, in which the truth might have been triumphantly manifested. If his plan had been carried out in spirit and to the letter, a far different and victorious result might have been chronicled and credited to the Army of the Potomac. His plans were masterly; the result was an exemplification of the fable, the mountain in labor eventuated in the issue of a mouse. Yes, indeed, the Mine Run fiasco would have resulted in a triumph, if the advice and plan of Humphreys had been executed with anything like exactness and an energy akin to his own, whereas a bloody catastrophe nearly rewarded a sagacious inspiration. No wonder that a military genius was perfectly willing to relinquish a thankless task of endeavoring to bring the conclusions of science to liear upon the conceptions of expediency, and take the command of troops where the personal force of the individual could electrify the mass and How often have these opinions been repeated, now with convert inertia and incompetency into alacrity and precision.

The value of Humphreys' services in crossing the Appomattox and detaining Lee all day at the Heights of Farmville or Cumberland Church will be appreciated, when it is remembered that Ord's two infantry corps did not reach Appomattox Court House until 10 o'clock in the morning of the 9th of April, and that it was the sight of Ord's infantry supporting Sheridan, that convinced Gordon that further fighting was useless and escape impossible. "About half-past eight o'clock on the evening of the 7th, when still in close contact with Lee, as has been described, Adjutant-General Seth Williams brought to General Humphreys Grant's first letter to Lee asking the surrender of Lee's army. This letter Humphreys was requested to have delivered to General Lee. He sent it at once through his picket line, at the same time At this time authorizing a truce for an hour, to enable the enemy to gather up their wounded. the opposing troops were but a few hundred yards apart. Lee's answer was brought back within an hour, and General Williams started at once to return to General Grant at Farmville by the circuitous route of High Bridge. The next morning Humphreys resumed the pursuit. While on the march, Grant's second letter to Lee was brought to Humphreys, who sent it to Lee through FitE-Lee's cavalry rear guard, which was then close in Humphreys' front. Lee's answer was received by Humphreys about dusk, as he halted for a three hours' rest, two miles beyond New Store, after a march of twenty miles. He again pushed forward, but after a march of twenty-six miles, was compelled to halt his column at midnight, on finding his men dropping out of the ranks from want of food and fatigue. On the morning of the 9th Humphreys received Grant's third letter to Lee's answer Lee, which was delivered to him in person by Colonel Whittier, of Humphreys' staff. was delivered by the hands of Colonel Whittier to General Meade, who forwarded it to General Grant, who had then left the route followed by the Second and Sixth Corps, and taken a cross-road Had which led to Appomattox Court House, and along or near the routes of Sheridan and Ord. Grant remained on the route of the Second and Sixth Corps, the surrender would have taken place before midday. As it was, Grant having ridden forward, the meeting between himself and Lee did not take place until i o'clock p. m., and the surrender of the Army of Northern Virginia was not announced to the Army of the Potomac until 4 o'clock.

As Humphreys had been notified that the correspondence was in no way to interfere with his operations, he twice sent word to Lee's staff officer that the request could not be complied with, and that he must withdraw from the ground at once. At this time, he was in full sight on the road, not a hundred yards distant from the head of the Second Corps. Humphreys at once formed his corps for attack, the Sixth Corps formed on the right, which, at the moment it was about to begin, was suspended by the arrival of General Meade, who granted The Great Civil War was at an end.

of the Union League. From his boyhood, he had been almost a stranger to his native city, and was personally unknown to many of her leading citizens, but his distinguished scientific and military services had become a part of the imperishable history of the nation, and entitled him to this tribute of respect, affection and gratitude. The lofty conception which he entertained of his noble profession, inspired the words with which he received the gift: 'The sword is regarded as the emblem of manly virtue, of a just mind, a courageous heart, and a gentle spirit. No token of your regard for me as a soldier and as a man could be more acceptable, and, perhaps, I most fittingly acknowledge your gift in saying that I shall try so to wear this beautiful embodiment of all the qualities a sword should possess, that its spotless blade may never be stained, nor its brilliant lustre dimmed.' "This Mas his ideal of the model soldier. It is not too much to say that in thought, word and deed he fulfilled and illustrated it. " At the Meade memorial meeting of the citizens of Philadelphia, held on the i8th November,
1872, Gen. Humphreys delivered an address upon the military services of General Meade. It is an able and luminous review of complicated operations, and without the aid of turgid adjectives or pretentious nouns, embodies the highest tribute ever paid by a military critic to a great commander.

member of the Presbyterian Church; married at the age and was a member of the Bethel Church from the time of its organization. She lived at the age of ninety-five was able to walk a distance of half a mile; resided in the same place, near Greenville, Augusta County, Va. for seventy-seven years. She lived to the age of ninety-six, letting her light shine to the last with a distinct, though mild and charming brilliancy, that made her society agreeable to all classes and ages, and eagerly sought by many. When young she must have been very pretty, sprightly and attractive. As a housekeeper, it could not be said that she was a Martha, but a Mary who chose the "better part." In fact, it is doubtful whether one so intelligent, and with such a taste for literature, could avoid looking upon the routine duties of housekeeping, in any other light than secondary. In many respects her mind was much above mediocrity, and had it been highly cultivated she might have been eminent. While her children were young and the cares of her family great, she always kept a book at hand to read whenever she had a leisure moment. In this way she read and re-read many books, and having a wonderfully retentive memory, her intelligence, especially on religious subjects, was surprising to all who knew her. To her the bible was the book of books. It was her constant companion, and as a consequence her familiarity w-ith it was great. She could at once tell where to find any passage that might be quoted often the chapter and verse and could repeat whole chapters from memory. She was remarkably fond of poetry, and could repeat it by the hour. Among her favorite authors were Watts, Young, Steele, Newton, Milton, Hannah, Moore, and Allen Ramsey. She had committed much fugitive poetry of her younger days, both "grave and gay, lively and severe," and often entertained her young friends by repeating it. She enjoyed herself much, even to the last, in the company of young ladies, with whom she was very popular. Though she often amused and always interested, she never failed to instruct and edify. She recollected a great many amusing, interesting and instructive anecdotes, for her memory was a perfect storehouse. She remembered te.xts and subjects from which she heard sermons when she was eight years old, the first sermon which impressed her being at that time. For years her memory was impaired by age, excepting on religious subjects, which had long

Yes, yes, I shall sec them all." and prayed much that the Saviour would take her, and finally threw herself back in bed from a semi-recumbent position, and raising her eyes and hands towards heaven, said, "Take me, take me," and died. She died in Sept., 1848.

He thought for himself, and examined thoroughly every subject upon which he was called to make up an opinion, and when he had formed a conclusion it was next to impossible to drive him from it, no matter who or how many differed from him. I frequently had occasion to mark this fact in our discussions upon theological and scientific subjects. Yet with all this independence, there was nothing arbitrary. I never saw him attempt to defend a position for which he could not give strong reasons, and when he was convinced by force of argument that he was in error, he was as prompt to yield when he saw he was wrong, as he was independent to contend when he saw he was right. " While his intellectual capacities were decidedly above mediocrity in every department (for he always stood among the first in his classes, both in college and in the seminary), he perhaps excelled in composition more than any other. He was a beautiful, forcible writer, and composed with great ease and rapidity. His essays, speeches and sermons have always been admired for their clearness, ease, and beauty of style, and a long list of correspondents, if consulted, would testify to his remarkable talent for letter-writing; few men of his age have written more letters, and still fewer have excelled him in the gift. He was sometimes witty and sometimes amusing, but always edifying and instructive; adapting himself to every case, he never failed to comfort the desponding and warn the careless. With all these superior traits of mind and heart, the chief excellencies of his character were fully known only by those who could claim him as a warm, unwavering, confidential friend, with a heart capable of the warmest attachment and ready to sympathize, even to tears. With a mind capable of giving the most judicial counsel; with a benevolence that prompted him to sacrifice his own interest and comfort, and even to take pleasure
he was a friend indeed to all who enjoyed his friendship. had an uncommon faculty of entering into the feelings and difficulties of others, and and encouragement; but the great principle that gave tone and energy and beauty to all these natural gifts, was the power of religion.

and grew in grace by keeping his heart with all diligence. He allowed no ordinary circumstances to deprive him of his daily religious reading and devotion. When I last saw his bible, he had written on a blank leaf a precept of his grand-mother, in these words, 'David, take care of your soul.' Religion with him was the principle thing, and he not only gave it his daily attention, but carried it with him in his daily business, and so apparent was this to all who took knowledge of him, that I have often heard such remarks as these concerning
him:

" But nowhere, perhaps, did he manifest so clearly his power and wisdom as when called to the Governorship of his State. It was a perilous time; the sound of arms had scarcely ceased its echo; all the disorganizing and demoralizing influences of war had to be met; a revolution had been effected. Pre-e.xisting institutions having been swept away, every fortune gone, and every home in mourning, a new beginning must be made. From every ijuarter there came the inquiry, Who shall assume the leadership as we attempt to gather together the shattered pieces and rebuild? Where is there a man who can awaken hopefulness in the heart of the despairing, and at the same time check the heedless impetuosity of those maddened by defeat and restore their wrecked government to active and efficient service ? "The problem was solved by one of your own boys when he' suggested the name of General Benjamin G. Humphreys. At once all parties acknowledged his peculiar fitness, and as by acclamation he was made the custodian of the highest interests of the Commonwealth. "And the success of his administration attests the wisdom of their choice. " His wise counsels, and his conservative measures, had brought again the reign of peace and prosperity until he was called to meet a form of reconstruction, superinduced by the United States Government, which was at once unconstitutional in form, and destructive in tendency, and by which he was required to abandon his office, and give up the government.

My mother occasionally visited the family of him. She used to call father old Capt. George Humphreys. I generally accompanied her on those visits. I was born in Port Gibson, Claiborne county, in the year 1810. The last time I saw Governor Humphreys was in the winter of 1881, on his plantation, in Roe Buck Lake a business trip from Greenwood on horse-back took me immediately by his house; I was in sight of his house before I knew tiiat I was in fifty miles of him. was delighteil at the ])rospect of once more meeting my old friend and friend of my mother. 1 rode up to his gate, alighted, hitched my horse and went in, rapped at the door a few times 'twas early in the morning after a few moments of delay the door was thrown open and there stood before me, face to face, the silver-haired old veteran.

He said he was some four years my senior; therefore, he must have been born in the year 1806. He was very feeble, and when I shook hands with him, for the last time, his noble, generous heart overflowed with emotion, and the magnetism that binds friend to friend caused the sympathetic tear to moisten our eyes. "In conclusion, I can say, without the fear of successful contradiction, that the whole Humphreys family, from old Capt. George down to the youngest, were distinguished for their social qualities and their noble and generous hospitalities. Governor Humphreys' first wife was a Miss McLaughlin, of Marion county, Miss. His second wife was a daughter of the Hon. James H. Maury, of Port Gibson.

Mr.
Humphreys was

to
Miss
Amanda M.

of Gen. Gideon J.) Pillow. This put an end to all connection with politics. At the organization of the State government under the revised constitution, the legislature
enacted a law establishing the office of attorney-general for the State, and reporter of decisions of

Supreme Court.

This statute also required the clerks of the Supreme Court to furnish

required to prepare his reports of cases and furnish the State printer with the manuscripts.

With regard to the manner in wliich he discharged the duties of tiic (jfiice of attorney-general, remark that he passed through the ordeal of twelve years' service without a suspicion having attached to his integrity and conscientious discharge of duty. He did not blindly insist on convictions in all cases, but exercised a discriminating judgment which showed that justice and the interests of the State, rather than the ambition of success, governed his conduct. A distinguished member of the Tennessee Bar (late Thomas H. Fletcher) said of Mr. Humphreys, that "his courteous deportment and his uniform respect for the rights of defendants deserved to be emulated. " In the prosecution of cases of deep interest, when his judgment satisfied him of the guilt of the defendant, his researches were commensurate with the magnitude of the case, and his efforts vigorous and eflective. The eleven volumes of reports which Mr. Humphreys has prepared for the press are before the country, and will speak for themselves. Taken as a whole, they have satisfied the professioa of the State where they were issued, and may be regarded as well prepared and valuable additions

He died July 9, 1856. ]\Iary Umphrey, his wife, was born May 15, 1787, and died Aug. 27, 1872. Thomas Umphrey 's mother's name was Araminta Umphrey.

Merrell Humphrey [the head of Family 82, page 223] died 15 Jan., 1886. He came to Canaan, Ct., in and erected the building known as Humphrey's drug store, and commenced a small drug business, together with general merchandise. Alter one year he sold out to his brother, the late G. Humphrey, and returned to West Norfolk, where he opened a small store, which he kept for some time, and afterwards taught school for a number of years, also doing considerable land surveying, for which he was somewhat noted. He returned to Canaan in 1876, and in 1880 built the house in which he died. He did land surveying and other work here as long as he was able was always a great worker and had an iron constitution. He contiibuted much valuable information for the Humphrey's Family Genealogy. He was a modest, unassuming person; a man of sterling integrity, who believed in doing what he thought was right though the heavens fell, and who shall say the world is not better for his having
1841,

it ?
former local editor of the Connecticut Western Nttvs voluntarily offers the following tribute: "With the death Humphrey a remarkable character is withdrawn from mortal view; a remarkable career is closed and a master mind is conquered. On the altar of principles and honest conviction he laid sacrifices that would make men of less courage and greater worldly ambition hesitate, or retreat. In early life he espoused, with heart and soul, the cause of Abolition, before that cause was ripe and when the term 'Abolitionist' was a term of reproach, and a crime for which the penalty was social ostracism. The great principles of human liberty, and equality, he maintained, should apply with equal force to body, mind and soul; and in his relations, man to man, he proved his sincerity in
of Merrell
that conviction. He measured men by the scale of character, and as shoddy had no place in his own makeup, so it had in others no claim on his consideration. He was a profound thinker and scholar and a masterly writer, a number of his productions having been given publicity in the News some five or six years ago over 'Dr. Longfellow,' 'Peter Pixley,' and other signatiu-es, every sentence of which contained a deep-set jewel of thought. was a fascinating conversationalist and in his presence one always felt the magnetism of a giant intellect. With his unswerving fidelity to his pronounced convictions, his wonderful fund of acquired information, his natural endowments of mind no less wonderful, and his unmistakable and convincing power of expression, it would seem that either a lack of physical energy, or of ambition for fame deterred him from taking such an active part in the warfare for human protjress and eipial rights as would have sent his name down in history as the peer of his co-patriots.

"Well," said the woman, "you may have that one," pointing to a little stubbed, shoeless and hatless boy, some two years old. "Well, my boy," said the dealer, "would you like to go with me and ride on the wagon and help take care of the horse?" The boy was not at all averse; so, after some further bantering, the clock was put up in its place on the wall, and the dealer then said to the mother, "I suppose you will let his clothes go with him it is usual to give the halter when you sell the horse."
