CHAPTER XXI.
FAMILY OF LUCRETIA MOTT.
Lucretia Mott was born at Nantucket, January 3d, 1793, and died at her residence on Old York Road, near Philadelphia, November 11th, 1880.
She seems to have possessed many of the characteris- tics of Mary Starbuck. She was truly womanly, but firm and fearless in her convictions; living during a great crisis, she gave her strength, mentally and physi- cally, to the philanthropie work of righting every wrong which she believed lay in her path of duty.
She was much beloved in the Religious Society of Friends, of which she was a member, and among whom she labored in the ministry for many years.
Her association with Nantucket was not abandoned because at an early age it ceased to be her residence. She visited it frequently, and continued in correspond- ence through many years with the earnest men and women who, like herself, battled in the cause of free- dom for the African race.
A number of her letters to Nathaniel and Eliza Bar- ney, of Nantucket, are published by Mrs. Anna Davis Hallowell in the "Life and Letters of James and Lu- cretia Mott." Throughout these letters much interest is shown in every cause she loved, much energy dis- played in her desire for action, and much charity ex- pressed for those whose early influences had dwarfed or rendered extinet the spirit of philanthropy.

In 1841 he moved to Philadelphia, where he prac- ticed medicine until 1853, when he was appointed a teacher at Haverford School (soon after made a col- lege); he remained there until 1865, when he resigned on account of ill health. He died in Philadelphia in 1866.
Daughters of Dr. Paul Swift and Dorcas (Gardner) Swift were:
Mary, married, 1846, Mr. Edwin Lamson, of Boston.
Katharine, married, first, Dr. Marcus A. Moore, of Boston; second, Mr. Robert Wharton.
Susan, married Mr. Albert H. Franciscus, of Philadelphia.
Elizabeth, married Mr. John E. Phillips, of Balti- more.
As an explanation of the theory entertained by many descendants that Elizabeth Tilley was daughter of John Tilley and Bridget Van der Velde, we quote the following from the exceedingly interesting " Reg- ister," recently published by "order of The General Congress " of The Society of Mayflower Descendants.
" John Tilley, the sixteenth signer of the Compact, came with his wife, whose name is unknown, and ' Elizabeth, their daughter.' He was one of the '10 of their principall men' who, with the boat's crew, made up the third and final party of exploration sent out from the Mayflower while at Provincetown Harbor. It is probable that he was a brother of Edward Tilley. Both he and his wife 'dyed a little after they came ashore.' Dr. Henry M. Dexter in a note to his edition of Mourts Relation 1865, quotes from the Leyden MS Records, '13-23 February 1615 John Telley, silk worker of Leyden married Bridget Van der Velde.' She could not have been the mother of Elizabeth Til- ley who was born in 1607 and who married John How-

land, and the explicitness of Bradford's record of this daughter would indicate that the silk worker 'John Telley' of Leyden was not identical with the May- flower Pilgrim.
"Dr. Dexter wrote in 1888 that he was convinced that the Leyden record referred to another person. Until 1855 it was supposed through family tradition, that John Howland's wife was a daughter of Governor Carver, which gives some foundation for the belief that a relationship existed, and that Elizabeth Tilley may have been a granddaughter of the first Governor."
CHAPTER XXIV.
FAMILY OF WILLIAM ROTCH.
Joseph Rotch was born in Salisbury, England, May 6th, 1704, and went to Nantucket, subsequently to New Bedford, where he died, November 24th, 1784.
He was interested in whale fishery so successfully carried on by his son, William Rotch.
When the Revolutionary War broke out and the whaling business was practically ruined, William Rotch went to England, hoping to pursue the business there, but, meeting with little encouragement, finally went to Dunkirk, France, where special privileges from the French government were granted him.
He carried on the business there until 1794, when he returned to Nantucket, and after a year's residence on the island, went to New Bedford and resided there un- til his death in 1828. His great-grandson, now living in New Bedford, says: "He was a consistent Friend and had the courage of his convictions. I have heard my great-aunt, Mary Rotch, tell the following story:
" He was at Dunkirk at the time of the Napoleonic Wars; one day there came news of the great victory of Austerlitz.
" Municipal orders were issued commanding every one to illuminate in honor of the event. My great- grandfather was true to his principles and refused to obey the order, though every house in the street was a blaze of light.
" The good mayor of the city was very friendly with my grandfather and called to expostulate and if possible persuade him-fearing danger from the mob in those excited times, but Mr. Rotch refused.
"' Well,' said the mayor, finally, 'the street belongs

to the city, and I will do what I can,' so he sent and pro- cured two large lanterns and had them placed directly in front of the house and detailed some gendarmes to walk up and down in front and explain to the people that those who lived there were not enemies, but good friendly people, who did not believe in war.
" His daughter, Elizabeth Rotch, was a remarkable woman, living to the advanced age of ninety-nine, and when over ninety had never used the back of a chair, V
but sat erect without support."
William Rotch is thus described by this grandson, who saw him when he himself was only four years of age: " He was a tall, venerable man with white hair and beard, and came into the room leaning on the back of a large arm chair on castors, attended by his black servant."
