In person he was tall and portly, and in manners courtly and dignified. His portrait, painted by Frothingham in 1820, is engraved in his published life. The honorary degree of Doctor of Laws was conferred on him by Yale College in 1791. After twenty-four years of suffering from asthma, which finally terminated in consumption, he died in Hamilton, on July 28, 1823, in his eighty-second year. The dis- course delivered at his funeral by the Rev. Dr. Benjamin Wadsworth, of Danvers, was pub- lished . His wife died suddenly in Hamilton on November 2, 1815, in her seventy-fifth year. They had five sons (one of whom died in infancy) and three daughters. The third son was graduated at Harvard College in 1793. The Rev. Rufus P. Cutler was a grandson.

One has said of him that his mind was alto- gether of the practical cast, and that in matters of mere theory and speculation he took but little interest. He himself published a number of works and his life, journals, and correspond- ence have been published in two volumes by his grandchildren, William Parker Cutler and Julia Perkins Cutler, at Cincinnati, 1888 .*

GEORGE DOWNING.

Sir George Downing was the son of Eman- uel Downing, of Salem, Massachusetts, who married, April 10, 1622, Lucy, sister of Gov- ernor John Winthrop. He was probably born in London, England, in 1625. In 1636 he was at school "at Maidstone in Kent." He arrived in New England with his parents in 1638, prob- ably early in October. He pursued his studies under the Rev. John Fiske, for many years an instructor in Salem. He was also under the influence of Hugh Peters, who married his aunt, and to whose church in Salem his parents belonged. Upham says he "spent his later youth and opening manhood on Salem Farms." He was the first graduate from Salem, after which he engaged in teaching, and pursued the study of divinity. In the summer of 1645, at the age of twenty, he "went in a ship to the West Indies to instruct the seamen." Probably he took this method to pay the expense of his voyage. He proceeded by way of "Newfound- land, and to Christophers, and Barbadoes, and Nevis," and was requested to preach in all these places, but continued to England, where lie was called to be a preacher in Colonel Jolin Okey's regiment, in the army of Sir Thomas

Fairfax. When not more than twenty-five years of age, Downing had risen so fast as to have become a confidential member of Crom- well's staff. and one of the most important correspondents and advisers of Parliament. September 3, 1651, he was at the battle of Wor- cester. As early as April 13, 1652, he held the important position of scoutmaster-general to the army in Scotland. In 1655, being secretary to Thurloe, who was Cromwell's secretary of state, he was sent to the Duke of Savoy to remonstrate against the persecution of the Wal- denses in Piedmont. He was chosen member of Parliament in 1656 for the Protector's pur- poses. Besides engaging in all other important business of the House, he took the lead in ques- tions of revenue and trade.

"A Narrative of the Late Parliament," pub- lished in 1657, records him as receiving £365 per annum as scoutmaster-general, £500 as one of the tellers in the exchequer ; in all £865 per annum. It is said he had the pay of a troop of horse captain. In 1657 he was appointed by Cromwell minister to Holland, with a salary of f1.100. He was elected burgess for Mor- peth, in Northumberland, to serve in the parlia- ment which convened at Westminster, May 8, 1661. In the intervals of parliament he re- turned to his employments at the Hague. In March, 1662, he procured the arrest of John Okey, Miles Corbet, and John Barkstead, three of the judges who had condemned Charles the First. There are reasons for supposing him to have been the author of the policy developed in the British Navigation Act, which was initi- ated October 9, 1651, and advanced by another act in 1660. This act made England the great naval power of the world.

July 1, 1663, Downing was created a baronet by the title of Sir George Downing of East Hatley, Cambridgeshire, knight, where his estate was called the largest in the county. In 1667, he was chosen secretary of the new commis- sioners of the treasury. He labored indus- triously to increase the revenue and enlarge the resources of the country. In 1671 he went to Holland, to take the place of Sir William Temple. He returned from Holland, where he was sent as ambassador, before his time, and accordingly was sent to the Tower; but was soon released and restored to royal favor. He was one of the three commissioners of the cus- toms in London, who, under date of July 9. 1678, prepared the rigid instructions for "Edward Randolph, Collector, Surveyor, and Searcher, of his Majestie's Customs in New England." He died in 1684.

Downing married in 1654, Frances Howard, who was descended from the fourth Duke of Norfolk, who was beheaded by Queen Eliza- beth for tenderness to Mary Queen of Scots. She died July 10, 1683. Their eldest son, George, was teller in the Exchequer in 1680.

Downing Street, Whitehall, was named after Sir George Downing, secretary of the treasury, when the office of lord treasurer was put in commission (May, 1667), on the death of Lord Southampton.

Sir George Downing was a member of the class of 1642, the first class which was grad- uated from Harvard College. His grandson, who died in 1749, a little more than a hundred years after this time, bequeathed a large estate, first to relatives, and afterwards, if they died without law ful issue, for the building of a col- lege at Cambridge. After a half century's opposition and litigation, it was chartered Sep- tember 22, 1800, and the magnificent Downing College was erected with funds which were said to amount to one hundred and fifty thous- and pounds .*

ELBRIDGE GERRY.

Elbridge Gerry, who was governor of Mass- achusetts from May 1810, to May, 1812, and vice-president of the United States from March 4, 1813, until November 23, 1814, when he suddenly expired, as he was about to enter the senate chamber at Washington for the perform- ance of his official duties, was a native of Marblehead, where his birth is recorded as occurring on the 17th of July, 1744, son of Thomas and Elizabeth. The son, Elbridge Gerry, was graduated at Harvard College in 1762, and later was a signer of the Declaration of Inde- pendence.

For many years he was a resident of the town of Cambridge, Massachusetts, where he was respected as one of the most eminent citi- zens, in spite of differences of political opinion between himself and the majority of his fellow citizens. The embargo of 1809, followed by an open declaration of war against Great Britian in June 1812, caused Cambridge to suffer dur- ing the next two or three years its full propor- tion in the general stagnation of business : as a new port it did not recover from the blight which had fallen upon it-the name of Cam- bridgeport (now anything but a port) coming as a relic of this period. Hence grass grew in the streets of the seaports, and ships rotted at the wharves. A very decided majority of the

voters of Cambridge ( if not elsewhere in New England ) were politically opposed to the war and smarted under the losses and inconven- iences resulting from it, but notwithstanding the lack of enthusiasm for its support, com- panies when called into service for the defence of the state responded punctually to the call. Thus. in the case of Mr. Gerry, it is said, that neither their affection for the man, nor their regard for his high political position, could overcome their detastation of the war, of which he was an advocate and defender, nor induce them to volunteer their persons or their prop- erty in its behalf. (See Paige's "History of Cambri ge," pp. 192-193).

His earliest revolutionary experience with Cambridge appears to have been on the night of the eighteenth of April, 1775, when as a member of the different committees of safety and supplies in session at Wetherby's tavern, in what was later West Cambridge or now is Arlington, he. with two others of the members, Orne and Lee, remained to pass the night. As the British in perfect stillness, passed the tavern where he was lodging, on their midnight march to Concord. Gerry, Orne and Lee rose from their beds to gaze on the unwonted spectacle ; the three were discovered by the British, and when a party of the latter was detached to sur- round the tavern, and make prisoners of the distinguished inmates, the three members of the committee of safety hastily escaped to an adjoining field.

As early as 1775 Gerry was actively interest- ed in fitting out a provincial naval armament and by November 13 a law was passed by the assembly of Massachusetts-and draughted by Gerry-which authorized the employment of privateers and established a court for the trial and condemnation of prizes. He was then a resident of Marblehead, and was emphatically at the bottom of this movement.

He was a great political organizer. It was he who after the New England colonies had borne the contest for several months, almost alone, sought to reconcile the conflicting jeal- onsies of the north and the south, and to aid Washington to supplant local jealousy by a union of spirit. His letters show this. In one of them he says ( under date of October o. 1775), "Let it be remembered that the first attack was made on this colony ; that we had to keep a regular force without the advantage of a regular government ; that we had to support in the field from 12,000 to 14,000 men, when the whole forces voted by the other New Eng- land governments amounted to 8,500 only."

In political ability Gerry was classed with such men as Washington, Hamilton, Franklin, Morris, and others, and he was a delegate from Massachusetts, with others, in 1787, to the convention at Philadelphia on the adoption of the Federal constitution. By the adoption of the constitution of the United States, the citizens of Massachusetts, as well as of the rest of the Union were divided into two parties, known at that time as federalists and anti- federalist. The former were the friends of the new constitution, and Gerry's sympathies were with the latter. The federalists were inclined to the establishment of a privileged order, while the anti-federalists were more republican in their tendencies ; or in other words, more dem- ocratic, or nearer to the lower class of the people.

He was a commissioner to the court of France in 1797. He was appointed by Presi- dent Adams, a federalist, contrary to the opin- ion of a portion of his cabinet, because Gerry was a gentleman distinguished throughout the country for his intellectual ability, even though he was attached to the opposition, or, as it was then called, the republican party. His associates on this mission were Charles Cotesworth Pinck- ney, the head of the federal party, and John Marshall, of Virginia, the later biographer of Washington.

In May, 1800, he was the candidate of the republican party for governor of Massachu- setts, and the people had confidence in his in- tegrity, and gave him a large vote, but not enough to elect him. In May, 1810, he was elected, and the democratic party was tri- umphant in the state. It was considered a critical period. In public Government Gerry approved the course of the national adminis- tration, which was republican or democratic, and confined his favors to such as were its sup- porters. For this he received several threats of assassination from anonymous correspond- ents. He was reflected upon severely in the federal press, and he made an attempt to de- clare them libellous. In the midst of this ex- citement a new election occurred and Caleb Strong was elected governor. Both parties were active, but his friends could not overcome the prejudices against Gerry. It is said that his conduct in districting the State for the elec- tion of senators had some influence in defeat- ing him. From the peculiar manner in which he did this, was acquired the term "Gerry- mandering ;" a term now familiar to all who have dealings with that particular way of engineering elections to the advantage of the

party in power. A defence of his policy in this respect was published at the time, to the effect that the constitution did not restrict to county lines in forming districts. His last districting was conformable to the rule of taxes. Previous legislatures had districted the State regardless of counties, as Gerry had done, etc. A convention was called at this time which approved of the governor's course. Fin- ally, he was elected to the vice-presidency, as the candidate of his party.

As an example of his style of writing, the following extract is given from one of Mr. Gerry's letters. The subject is the British evacuation of Boston in March, 1776. He writes on March 26. "What an occurrence is this to be known in Europe! How are parlia- mentary pretensions to be reconciled? Eight or ten thousand British troops, it has been said, are sufficient to overun America ; and yet that number of their veterans, posted in Boston (a penisula fortified by nature, defended by works the product of two years' industry, surrounded by navigable waters, supported by ships of war, and commanded by their best generals ), are driven off by about one-thirtieth of the power of America. Surely the invincible vet- erans labored under some great disadvantage from want of provisions or military stores, which the Americans were amply provided with. Directly the reverse. They had provisions enough ; ammunition, muskets and accoutre- ments, for every man, and a piece of ordnance for every fifteen; while the Americans were almost destitute of all these, and after twelve months' collection had only a sufficiency of powder to tune their cannon for six or eight days. I am at a loss to know how Great Brit- ian will reconcile all this to her military glory."

As thus ably predicted by this keen observer, the news did excite great astonishment in Eng- land, and the reigning ministry were deeply mortified.

ANCESTRY .- Captain Thomas Gerry ( I), of Newton Bushel, Great Britian, born at New- ton Abbot, Devonshire, England, March 15, 1702. died at Marblehead, Massachusetts, July 13. 1774, aged seventy-two years four months ; married first, December 16, 1734, Elizabeth Greenleaf, born at Marblehead, June 1. 1716, died there, September 2, 1771, aged fifty-five years, daughter of Enoch and Rebecca ( Rus- sell) Greenleaf ; married second, May 6, 1773, Mrs. Elizabeth Lemmon, presumably widow of Dr. Joseph Lemmon, of Marblehead, who died in 1772.

WHITNEY COAT-OF-ARMS.

MASSACHUSETTS.

The surname Whitney was WHITNEY originally a place name. The parish from which the family takes its name is located in county Hereford, England, upon the extreme western border, adjoining Wales and is traversed by the lovely Wye river. The name of the place doubtless comes from the appearance of the river, mean- ing in Saxon, white water, from hwit, white, and ey, water. The coat-of-arms of the Whit- ney family of Whitney is: Azure, a cross chequy or and gules. Crest : A bull's head couped sable, armed argent, the points gules. The English ancestry of John Whitney, the immigrant who settled at Watertown, Massa- chusetts, has been established by Henry Mel- ville and presented in an exquisitely printed and illustrated volume. Very few American families have their English genealogy in such well authenticated and satisfactory form. An abstract of the English ancestry is given below. (I) Turstin, "the Fleming," otherwise known as Turstin de Wigmore, probably also as Turstin, son of Rolf, and Turstin "the White," was a follower of William the Con- queror. He was mentioned in the Domesday book as an extensive land holder in Hereford- shire and the Marches of Wales. He married Agnes, daughter of Alured de Merleberge, a Norman baron of Ewias Castle, in the Marches of Wales.
