good powers of application, and a remarkable gift of persuasive sprech, and he never resmned them. The revival of business and rapid devel- opment of the Western and Southwestern States a few years later, brought him into connection with various railroad and other enterprises in that region, and for convenience in attending to these interests he established his residence in the city of Sandusky, Ohio. He was chosen mayor of the city in Apl., 1861, and in that capacity, ns also by his personal influence, contributed largely to the support of the Government in its struggle with the Civil Rebellion. When Johnson's Is- land in Sandusky Bay was selected as a post for Confederate officers, prisoners of war, a special corps, known as the Hoffman Battalion, was or- ganized of citizens of Sandusky, to guard the

He was made Lient .- Col. in 1863, and at the close of the war was breveted Brig .- Gen. in recognition of hisservices. Shortly after his ros ignation of bis command he returned to the fam. homestead in W., which had come into his poss. on the death of his mother in the preceding year, and the rest of his life was passed here in very active attention to a wide range of business, both personal and in positions of trust as pres't, di rector, or advisor in various banking, mfg., ins .. and similar corporations.

Gen. Pierson was pres. of the Cann. River t'a. (water-power of W.), director of the Nat. Fire Ins. Co., the Nat. Exch. Bank, and the Htfd. Trust ('o., and was noted for strict integrity and sound judgment in business affairs : and was freq. called upon to act as adm. or trustee of largerstates; his pastor said of him at hi- funeral: "He had a quick perception to sre opportunities; he was a man of

clear mind, and because of this was called nem to manage and administer Inrge trusts; a courteous, gentlemanly man, free from evil speech or habits; a man of reading and intelligence upon religious subjects - a man that honored the house of find. He was very kind to all classes of people. The Lord bad not given him any children, but there are many who will bless him as a father, many leaned un him as a child does on its father. Though not a formal professor of religion. yet his life seemed mondded by Christ's spirit. He has been a pillar tu this ecclesiastical society, and his mean- flowedt out in various ways."

PINNEY (Pynney, Pinne). [Compiled for the first edition by the late HENRY BRIGHT, Esq., of Northampton, Mass. Additions to present edition from various sources. The extracts from the ancient Pinney will are furnished by Mrs. C. II. PINNEY of Derby, Conn., who expresses an earnest desire that the many American descend. ants of Humphrey Pinney shall place some memorial (window, altar, or tablet) in the little church at Broadway, where their forefathers sleep, and where yet an- unal payment is duly made on the Pinney tomb in the graveyard of the annuities devised in 1631 for the poor of the name of Pinney or of Standerwicke.]

Humphrey (s. John) came to America in the Mary and John with Rev. Mr. Warham's company: 1630, sett. at Dorchester, where le m. Mary Hult, who had been a fellow passenger.

His immediate ancestors appear to have res. in Broadway, Somersetshire, Eng. Broadway is in Chard Union, in the deanery of Crewkerne, archdeaconry of Taun- ton, diocese of Bath and Wells. Hundred of Abdick and Bulstone, West Somerset. From the will of Edmund (uncle to Humphrey) Pynney of Broadway, dated 1631, recorded 2 Feb., 1632 (Vol. Audelsy, fol. 16) Humphrey P. being administrator, we learn that said Edmund was buried in the south aisle of Broadway Church, in a tomb called The Pinney Tomb. From his will (on file at Doctor's Commons, Lon- don, where a copy was procured by Dr. CHARLES II. PINNEY. in 1886), we give the following extracts :

" Imprimix, I give to the maintenance of the Church at Broadwaie, aforesaid, three shillings and fourpence.

" Item : 1 give unto the poor people of the same parish of Broadwaie, being none of the almspeople of the Alms house there, twenty shillings to be distributed amongst them areording to the direction of mine executor and good friends here- after in this mine will named to be mine overseer.

Item. I give to the poor people being als people dwelling in the said Alms. house there twenty shillings to be divided unto them presently after my death.

Item : I do give the same grounds called East Mullyns - Butchers' Close, and Long Kite Meade, and every part and parcel thereof to the said John Pynney after the determis of the said Richard Py oney upon the condition that he from thence- forth pay twenty-six shillings and eight pence yearly to two poor people, men or women, and wanting relief during the residence of my said term of four thousand

years, by quarterly payments, viz. of three shillings and fourpence quarterly to either of the said poor people, and if the said Richard Pynney shall refuse and do not pay the same according to this my will and desire aforesaid then and so often as the same shall not be paid it shall and may be lawful to and for any or every person or persons called or known by the name of Pynney or Standerwick inhabiting or dwelling in Broadwaie aforesaid into the said grounds, so as aforesaid charged with the yearly payment of the said twenty-six shillings and eight pence to enter and distresse [this last word not clearly decipherable] and the distress or distresses there from time to time taken to lead, drive, chase, carry away, or impound and the same impounded to detain and keep until the said yearly payments as aforesaid limited and bequeathed to the said two poor people shall be fully satisfied and paid." (A copy of this will was in keeping of R. Drake Palmer, Vicar of St. Ald- heim's Church, Broadway, in 1886.)

In 1859, this annuity of Edmund Pinney's from land situated in Abbots Ile (or Ile Abbots) was still paid regularly by the present owner of the property, and its recipients were two poor people of the name of Stunderwick-a family which seems to have been intimately related to the testator, appearing in his will as legatees and executors of certain legacies. The will also contains certain legacies ordered to be paid by Humphrey Pinney, viz .: $4 yearly to Nicholas Pinney, and 20s. yearly to William Watts, during their lives, payably quarterly (at the four principal feasts of the year, the birth of our Lord Jesus, the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary, St. John the Baptist, and St. Michael the Archangel) in the churchyard of Broadway, upon the tomb, or monument called Pinney's Tomb, and with certain penalties imposed for default or delinquencies of regular payments.

Broadway Church is a small, ancient, but beautiful structure, situated in a pieturesque churchyard, adorned with yews, located upon a little knoll in an ex- tensive valley, about two miles from the rise of the hill which terminates in the Blackdon Range, - this hill itself being in the adjoining parish of Buckland and St. Mary's, and commanding one of the finest views in Somerset County. Broad- way, a long, straggling village of some 400 agricultural inhabitants, an almshouse, etc., is said to have taken its name from a Roman road which lead to Nevocke Forest, and whose breadth made an impression upon the Saxons. The forest long sinee disappeared, but there are traces of a Roman encampment on Blackdorn Hill. The church is quite by itself at the end of the village. Pinney's Ground, from which the aforesaid annuities are payable, is in Ile Abbots, an adjoining village, boasting of a still more beautiful little church.

Edmund Pynney's will informs us that he had a bro. Joux the elder, and a bro. JOHN the younger ; a sister ALICE, who m. a Way; a sister JOHANNA, who m. Giles Godwin.

Jons the elder m. Johanna -- , and had children (1) ELIZABETHI, (2) EDMOND, (3) RICHARD, (4) ROGER, (5) NICHOLAS, (6) WILLIAM, (7) HUMPHREY (the emigrant to Dorchester and Windsor), (8) JOHN of Exeter, (9) AGNES (prob. m. John House), (10) MARY (prob. m. Thos. Pearce), (11) SARAH (poss. m. John Turberfield), (12) ALICE (poss. m. Wm. Standerwicke.

In the possession of the late Lucretia Stiles of Windsor were several ancient papers, mostly letters addressed to Humphrey Pinney of Windsor (by his nephew, John House of Montague, Eng., and from Geo. Betty of Combe, St. Nicholas Co., Somerset, Eng., relative to certain business which he had entrusted to Mr. Pinney; also concerning Mr. P.'s property in England) and Mr. P.'s will, dated 3 June, 1682. In one of these letters Mr. House (date of 1 Meh., 1668), says: " My Unele William l'inney, hath buried his wife; she d. about a quarter of a yr since." Among these papers was a lease, executed 20 Feb., 1658, " betw. Humphrey Pinney, now dwell- ing in Montague, of the one part, and Roger Dunster of Broadway, in the Co. of VOL ._ II .- 77

Nelson and Andrew Pinney, and it has never been in other hands than the Pinneys. It is the only tract of land in this town which has never been conveyed by deed from the family descendants.
