for John Gaylord in the shoe business until 1840, and in 1841 went to Chicopee and en- tered the employ of the N. P. Ames Company, manufacturers of cannon, swords, and military accoutrements, including artillery harness and saddles. His first work here was making har- ness for the Texas trade, and soon afterwards it was extended to sword-scabbards and other military accoutrements. He received as wages at first, seven shillings a day, increased after a month to one dollar and a quarter. In 1843, when the health of the foreman failed, Mr. Ames asked young Gaylord to take charge of the shop; but he saw another opportunity, and contracted with the Ames Company to furnish the leather goods. He continued in this business until January 1, 1856, when he purchased that part of the business and added the manufacture of leather fire hose and machine belting. In 1856 he re- ceived orders from the War Department for military accoutrements, and continued to fill orders for that department every three months up to 1861. During his time he furnished accoutrements for several southern states, in- cluding Maryland, Virginia, Georgia, Ala- bama and Mississippi. On the day that Fort Sumter fell, Mr. Gaylord had a large stock of accoutrements for the south on hand, and on the afternoon of the same day received a dispatch from Colonel Thornton, command- ing at Governor's Island, New York, to ship to the government all goods on hand and in process of construction. Soon after a mes- senger arrived from Governor Andrew with the same request for Massachusetts. He re- solved to divide them equally between the government and the state, and did so. Be- fore night of the same day a noted speculator from New York arrived and offered Mr. Gay- lord ten thousand dollars more than he would otherwise receive. Mr. Gaylord saw if this man controlled the goods he would sell to the southern states, and he promptly refused the offer. preferring to aid the government in this crisis, no matter how great the cost to him- self. The demand from the government for this line of goods now became large, and to fill his orders he erected large buildings and increased his working force to four hundred and fifty men, shipping from eighteen to twenty thousand dollars worth of goods each week. In 1861 he also contracted with the government to furnish the leather mail-bags for a term of four years, and the contract was continued until he had held it twelve years. In April, 1863, Mr. Gaylord organized a stock

company, of which he was elected president, and in which he owned a majority of the stock. After the civil war his business was confined chiefly to cabinet-locks, and regu- lation and society swords of the finest work- manship. In politics Mr. Gaylord was a Re- publican, and active in the work of his party. He was a member of the legislature in 1866. From 1875 until his death he was president of the First National Bank of Chicopee. He was a member of the Third Congregational So- ciety of Chicopee. He died September 24, 1899. He married, September 19, 1844, Jane Burnett, born in South Hadley, died October 23, 1881, daughter of David Burnett. They had one son, Arthur F. Gaylord, of whom fur- ther below. Mr. Gaylord married (second) Victoria, daughter of Lester and Cordelia (Palmer ) Van Horn (see Van Horn).

(VIII) Arthur Frank, son of Emerson Gaylord, was born in Chicopee, June 27, 1846, and died there September 29, 1888. He at- tended the public schools of Chicopee, gradu- ating from the high school and the Williston Seminary at Easthampton, Massachusetts. He was associated with his father in the busi- ness of the Gaylord Manufacturing Company, and continued in the management of that con- cern until it was sold to the Eagle Lock Com- pany of Terryville, Connecticut. He contin- ted in business, however, at the head of the Gaylord Manufacturing Company of Chic- opee, and manufactured swords, scabbards, belts and other military accoutrements. He was president and general manager of this corporation until he died, and notably success- ful in business. He divided his time almost exclusively between his home and his business, to both of which he was devoted. He was be- loved by employees as well as friends and was especially devoted to his home and family. He belonged to no clubs or secret orders. He was a member of the Third Congregational Church of Chicopee. In politics he was a Re- publican of influence for many years, and served as postmaster of Chicopee from 1884 to 1886. He married Isabella Murphy, born June 21, 1876, daughter of Timothy and Pris- cilla (De Forrest) Murphy.

(IX) Emerson George, son of Arthur Franklin Gaylord, was born at Chicopee, May 23, 1881. He attended the public schools of his native town, and graduated from the Chicopee high school in the class of 1900. After taking a year's post-graduate course in the Springfield high school he entered Am- herst College, where he was graduated with

the degree of A. B. in the class of 1905. He was a member of the Beta Theta Pi fraternity. Immediately after graduation he went into the banking business in partnership with Frank C. Kendall, formerly cashier of the First Na- tional Bank of Chicopee, which was liquidated at the expiration of its charter and to the business of which the new firm of Gaylord- Kendall Company succeeded. Mr. Gaylord was a director in the old bank, and his firm has been successful in conducting business under a state corporation. It is one of the two banks of this kind recognized by the Boston Clearing House. In politics Mr. Gay- lord is a Republican, and has been alderman- at-large of the city of Chicopee, nominated by both parties, and unanimously elected. He is a member of the Nayasset Club of Spring- field, and of the Springfield Automobile Club. He married, December 12, 1906, Helen Cos- sett Malone, born February 3, 1884, at Beloit, Wisconsin, daughter of Booth Malone, of Denver, Colorado. They have one child, Em- erson George Jr., born at Chicopee, Decem- ber 30, 1908.

VAN HORN

This is old Dutch stock, that has been active and prominent in the local af-

fairs of the Connecticut valley for years. Its scions have been identified with the material, political and intellectual development of the country at large. In the first instance it be- longed to New York, coming there from the Low Countries. In New York the family owned a part of what now constitutes the city. Sir William H. Van Horn, the great railway mag- nate of Canada, is native to the United States, and of this line.

( 1) Born Van Horn, or as it was formerly written Bourn Van Hooven, was in Spring- field, Massachusetts, before 1713, hailing from New York. The proprietors of Ye inwards commons, granted him March 22, 1713, a piece of land in exchange for some taken from him for a highway. In 1739 he settled at what is now Chicopee Falls, and was there given land. He was a fence viewer and field driver. He married Sarah Smith, of Suffield, February 6, 1713. She died December 30, 1775, having reached eighty years. He died February 20, 1755. Children: Azariah, born June 21, 1714; John, March 20, 1717; Sarah, February 22, 1720; Elizabeth, June 30, 1722; Mary, January 22, 1726, and Abraham, re- ferred to in the next paragraph.

( II ) Abraham, youngest son of Born and

MASSACHUSETTS.

Sarah (Smith) Van Horn, was born in Springfield. He married Eunice Sikes.

(III) Ruel, son of Abraham and Eunice (Sikes) Van Horn, married, in 1796, Helen Bagg, of Windsor, and their children were: Lester, Sophia, Loicia, Delina, Eliza, Lyman and Edmund. He married (second) Delia Stiles, and their children were: Delia, Ells- worth. Benjamin, who was a Californian forty-niner, and George.

(IV) Lester, eldest son of Ruel and Helen ( Bagg) Van Horn, was a farmer, a Demo- crat, and held the office of selectman ; attended the Congregational church. He married Maria Hitchcock; children: Helen, died young ; Almira, married Zolvah Smith; Ma- hala, married Dr. Ellis, and (second) her cousin, Sylvester Van Horn; Maria married George Martin, and after his decease, his brother Samuel. Lester Van Horn married (second) Cordelia Palmer, of Feeding Hills. Children : Juliette, died young; Elizabeth, married Judge Severance; Victoria, married Emerson Gaylord ( see Gaylord sketch) ; An- toinette, died young.

(IV) The Honorable George, youngest son of Ruel and Delia (Stiles) Van Horn, was born in Springfield, died at Musca- tine, Iowa. He was a lawyer and politician of note, and was one of the state builders of Iowa. He was one of the organizers of the Republican party in 1856, and stumped for Fremont and Dayton. He early came out for Lincoln in 1860 as the Republican candidate, and he did effective work on the hustings in the west for his favorite and the successful candidate. He was appointed consul to Marseilles by Lincoln in 1861.

EWING This family is of ancient Scotch origin. It is identical with Ewen and McEwen. The family seat was in Aberdeenshire and Edinburghshire from early times. The Ewing family of the north of Ireland, from which most of the older Ewing families of this country are de- scended, trace their ancestry to Major Finlay Ewing, who received a grant of land for mil- itary service, three hundred acres, laid out August 20, 1696, at Ballymena, county An- trim, Ireland. Major Ewing came from Dum- bartonshire with his sons John and Alexander. (Calendar of State Papers of Ireland, vol. xxxvi, p. 127.) The present representative of the ancient family in Dumbartonshire is Sir Frederic Orr Ewing, residing at Dumbar- tonshire and White Court, Edinburgh, Scotland.

One of the first of the name in America was Richard Ewen, who settled in Maryland before 1659. Thomas, son of Findlay and Jane Ewing, was born in Londonderry, Ire- land, in 1695, and emigrated to America in 1718. He first settled on Long Island, but soon removed to Greenwich, New Jersey, where he married Mary, daughter of Thomas Maskell; Ewing died February 28, 1748; his wife December 17, 1784. General Sherman, Hon. Thomas Ewing, and other prominent men of the middle west, are descended from this immigrant. There is a tradition that four brothers-John, Alexander, Henry and Samuel Ewing, brothers of Thomas Ewing- settled in Maryland, but the Maryland immi- grant must have been of an earlier generation. Descendants of the Maryland immigrant or immigrants are numerous in Pennsylvania, Tennessee and the middle west.

(I) Alexander Ewing, doubtless of this Scotch-Irish family, came to Massachusetts after 1718, but before 1740, with the Scotch- Irish. In 1741 he bought fifty acres of John Henderson, in the Elbow tract, now Palmer, Massachusetts. Later he drew one hundred acres in the first division of the common lands of Bernard McNight (McNitt or McNutt). The following were sons or nephews: I. Joshua, was sergeant in the revolution, in Captain John Carpenter's company, Colonel Ezra Wood's regiment, 1778-79 ; also drummer in Captain Daniel Winchester's company, Colonel Ruggles Woodbridge's regiment, re- inforcing the northern army, 1777. 2. James, lived in South Hadley and Sunderland; sol- dier in Captain Noadiah Leonard's company, Colonel Ruggles Woodbridge's regiment, 1775- In 1790 Alexander Ewing, was living at Portsmouth, and had two males over six- teen, two under sixteen, and seven females in his family. It is not known whether this is the same Alexander Ewing, but the evi- dence indicates that he was. In 1790 the family had left central Massachusetts, and none of the name appear in the census of that year in that section. A branch of the family settled at North Yarmouth and Harpswell, Maine, before or during the revolution. John Ewing was a revolutionary soldier from Harpswell, Joseph from North Yarmouth.

In 1790 we find John Ewing in Watervliet, Albany county, New York, with a family, and William Ewing in Ontario county, having three males over sixteen and no others in his family.

(II) William, doubtless grandson of Alex-

894

MASSACHUSETTS.

ander Ewing, was born in central Massachu- setts, 1763. He was a soldier in the revo- lution, from Shutesbury, Massachusetts, at the age of sixteen. The records give his height as five feet, hair black. He was in Captain Seth Pierce's company, Colonel Seth Murray's regiment ; in 1780 he was in the Sixth Hampshire county Regiment, and his height was given as five feet two. In 1781 he was again in the service, in Colonel Benja- min Tupper's regiment, age seventeen, height five feet seven inches.

(III) Noble, brother or cousin of William Ewing, and grandson undoubtedly of Alex- ander Ewing (I), was born at Southampton, Massachusetts, or vicinity. The Noble family was prominent in this section of the state, and doubtless his name was given for some rela- tive. He married Miriam Wolcott, of South- ampton. He removed to Hudson, New York. Children: 1. George Clinton, born 1810. 2. Mary Ann. 3. Harriet. 4. Eliza. 5. Char- lotte. 6. Julia. The only one of these chil- dren leaving posterity was George Clinton, the eldest.

(IV) George Clinton, son of Noble Ewing, was born in Hudson, New York, in March, 1810. He was a carriage maker by trade, also a scale builder and agent for Fairbanks' scales. He was a Congregationalist in re- ligion. In politics he was first a Whig, later a Republican. He was at one time a repre- sentative to the general court of Massachu- setts. He was a member of the school board in Holyoke. He was living in Taunton, Massachusetts, at the time of his marriage. He engaged in manufacturing carriages at Walpole, New Hampshire, and later at West- minster, Vermont, and Littleton, New Hamp- shire. He came to Littleton in 1842, and had his shop on the present site of the Richard- son stable. About 1843 he went to Jersey City, New Jersey, and a few years later to Holyoke, Massachusetts. He married, at Taunton, May 6, 1834, Lydia Ann, born 1808, daughter of Daniel and Sarah (Richmond) Stillwell. Children: 1.

Gillett, under the firm name of Minot Manufacturing Company, suc- ceeded to the business of Leonard and Jo- siah B. Woods, of Enfield. In 1852 the part- nership was dissolved and Rufus D. Woods erected a mill at Holyoke, Massachusetts, and carried on the making of cards until 1857 when he returned to Enfield and continued in the same line of business for the next two

(VI) Josiah B., son of Aaron (2) Woods, was born in Enfield, November 18, 1796, died there May 15, 1872. He was educated there in the public schools, and early in life en- gaged in manufacturing in his native town. The first mill for making cloth at the lower dam was built in 1825 and was used in manu- facturing satinets by a firm of which Moses Woods was a partner. The enterprise was not successful, and was succeeded by the Swift River Manufacturing Company, organ- ized by Marshall and Thomas Jones, Leonard and Josiah B. Woods, Ephraim Richards, George Howe and a few others. This com- pany not only manufactured satinets but car- ried on the carding business established by Leonard Woods in 1820. Their factory was burned in 1830. A stone mill was then erected, but the interior was destroyed with all the plant in 1848. It was reconstructed soon afterward and is still standing. The Swift River Manufacturing Company lasted but a short time. The business was then di- vided among the owners. M. S. & T. Jones continued the manufacture of satinet and Leonard and Josiah B. Woods with Marshall Jones took the carding business which was continued under the firm name of Jones, Woods & Company. In 1837 M. S. & T. Jones failed and the Minot Manufacturing Company was incorporated April 7, 1837, by Marshall Jones, Leonard Woods and Alvin Smith with a capital stock of $75,000. This company with an occasional change in the managing owners has continued ever since, manufacturing satinets at first, then Shaker flannels and light weight cassimeres. Through- out his life Josiah B. Woods continued one of the leading manufacturers of the town, a man of exceptional ability, energy and enterprise, resourceful in overcoming difficulties, strong in the face of adversity and of great influ- ence in the town. He was' the inventor of a card-setting machine. In politics he was a Republican, and was senator and delegate to the state constitutional convention of 1841. In religion he was a Congregationalist. He was much interested in education and gave his time and money freely for this purpose,
