ABERCROMBIE

Abercrombie or Aber- cromby is a surname . derived from a barony

of that name in Fifeshire, Scotland. Aber means "beyond" and crombie, "the crook", or bend in the stream of fifeness. The parish was known as St. Monanco, but has been known as Abercromby since 1174, and the family were chiefs of the name until the sev- enteenth century, when that line became ex- tinet. Then Abercrombie of Birkenbog, Banff- shire, was created the head of the clan of Abercrombie. In 1637 Alexander Abercrom- bie, of Birkenbog, was made a baronet of Scotland and Nova Scotia, and distinguished himself as a royalist during the civil wars. The baronetcy is still in the family. The coat- of-arms used by all the Abercrombie families is: Argent a chevron gules between three boars' heads erased azure. Crest : An oak tree acorned on a mount proper. Motto, "Tace". The crest and motto vary in different branches of the family. A branch of the family in South Carolina used the following arms be- fore the revolution: Argent a chevron gules between three boars' heads erased azure langued of the field, an antique crown or. Crest : A cross calvary gules. Motto: "In Cruce Salva".

(I) Rev. Robert Abercrombie, immigrant ancestor, was born in 1712, and graduated at the University of Edinburgh, Scotland, where he had a reputation of being a profound scholar, familiar with Latin, Greek, Hebrew and Syriac. He also brought testimonials from the Presbytery of Edinburg and Kirk- caldy, and recommendations from distinguish- ed Scotch divines. He was a descendant in an unbroken line of Abercrombies back to the twelfth century, in Fifeshire, Scotland. * He landed in Boston in the autumn of 1740, and preached among Presbyterians at Boston, Worcester, and other places, going about on horseback among the Scotch-Irish Presby- terians who went from Worcester to Pelham, Massachusetts. On May 11. 1742, he was asked to supply the pulpit at Pelham, and the following year a call was extended to him to become the settled minister. A protest, how- ever, was signed by twenty-two of the par- ishioners, against his settlement there, al- though no reason was given for the act in the document. It was unavailing, and he was or- dained August 30, 1744, Rev. Jonathan Ed- wards preaching the ordination sermon. He was granted Lot No. I on the north side of the middle range road, and a house was built for

him which he occupied probably until his death. The relations between pastor and peo- ple were never very satisfactory, and there was constant trouble, after the first two years, concerning the payment of his salary. There was radical disagreement in regard to the doc- trine of infant baptism, and other difficulties as well, and about 1754 his pastorate was ter- ininated, and the church doors were closed against him. In 1748 he had expressed a de- sire to be dismissed from the Presbytery, but his request was refused. In the correspond- ence which ensued between him and the Pres- bytery, his communications were sound and able. He was a man of strong mind and will, conscientious to a degree, and a strict dis- ciplinarian. The absence of harmonious feel- ing at the first prevented a good understand- ing between pastor and people, and his concep- tion of duty would not allow him to deal gently with the more liberal of his people. The Scotch character was too firm and tenacious to admit of any half-way measures. He died in Pelham, March 7, 1786. In August, 1900, his grave was marked by a huge boulder, weighing five tons. He had five sons in the revolution. He married Margaret Stevenson, who died November 2, 1765, daughter of John Stevenson. Children : I. David. 2. Andrew. 3. Margaret. 4. Samuel. 5. John. 6.

(II) Captain Isaac, son of Rev. Robert Abercrombie, was born in Pelham, September 30, 1759, died December 4, 1847. When a boy he made his home with William Hyslop, of Brookline, a wealthy Englishman and friend of his father. He returned to Pelham, where he settled, and lived on the homestead. He was a man of fine presence, erect and state- ly, and filled many offices of honor and trust. He was deputy to the general court in 1799- 1800-01-02-04-06-09-19. He was a selectman often, justice of the peace for Hampshire and Hampden counties, and captain in the militia. He served in the revolution from Brookline in Captain Thomas Mayo Jr.'s company, Col- onel Eleazer Weld's regiment, in December, 1776, at Bull and Castle Island ; also in Cap- tain Lemuel May's company, Colonel McIn- tosh's regiment at Roxbury in 1778.

He was licensed by the Massachusetts Medical Society in May, 1827, and then located in Ashburnham, Massachusetts, where he was favorably received and soon acquired a high rank in his profession. In 1829 he removed to Fitchburg, Massachusetts, and there was as- sociated with Jonas A. Marshall, M. D., in the practice of medicine and surgery. He was a man of rare intellectual ability, eminently skillful as a surgeon, and his keen powers of observation, knowledge and good judgment made him a trusted practitioner and one of the most successful physicians and surgeons in the vicinity. After a successful practice of nine years in Fitchburg, his health failed and he retired from the active duties of his pro- fession and removed to Lunenburg, Massa- chusetts, where he was interested in public af- fairs, serving several years as selectman-and postmaster.

DRAPER The surname Draper is derived from the trade of some remote ancestor, and belongs to the class of English names represented by Smith, Carpenter Cook, Weaver, Farmer. etc. The family in England is very ancient, and has produced many distinguished men.

(I) Thomas Draper, father of the Ameri- can immigrant, lived and died in the parish of Heptonstall, vicarage of Halifax, York- shire, England. He himself was a clothier by trade. Children: Thomas, John, William. James (mentioned below ), Mary, Martha. All remained in England excepting James.

(II) James, son of Thomas Draper, was the immigrant ancestor. He was born in Hep- tonstall, in 1618, and came to New England about the time he came of age, and from 1640 to 1650 was a pioneer and proprietor of the town of Roxbury, Massachusetts. In 1654 he became a proprietor of Lancaster, Massachusetts, but remained in Roxbury, and died there in July 1694, aged seventy-three years. His grave in the old Roxbury church- yard is marked by a stone. He was admitted a freeman in 1690. From his exceedingly strict piety he was known in his day as "James the Puritan", and thus is still known to genea- logists and historians. He was the owner of several looms, and followed his trade of cloth- ier in this country. He married, April 21, 1646, at Heptonstall, England, Miriam Stans-

field, born there November 27, 1625, daughter of Gideon and Grace ( Eastwood ) Stansfield. She died at Roxbury, December-January, 1697. Her epitaph reads: "Here lyes ye body of Mrs. Marrian Draper, wife of Mr. James Draper, aged about 77 years. Dec .- Jan. 1697." The stone appears to be one of the oldest in the burying ground. Children : I. Miriam, born in England, February 7, 1646- 47 ; died there. 2. Susannah, born 1650, at Roxbury ; married John Bacon, of Charles- town. 3. Sarah, born 1652, at Roxbury. 4.

The gravestones of both husband and wife are to be found in the Roxbury burial ground, now part within the city of Boston. In 1683 leave was granted to James Draper and Na- thaniel Whiting to erect a fulling mill in Ded- ham below the corn mill on Mother Brook. The Draper interests in this mill property were gradually sold out to the Whitings. Draper injured a sinew while wrestling, and was never able to leave his house afterward.

CHEEVER

All the old families of the surname Cheever in New

England appear to come from

the same stock. There were several immi- grant ancestors, but all nearly related. Bar- tholomew Cheever, born in England, settled in Boston, a shoemaker by trade, admitted free- man May 26, 1647, and to the church May 31, 1646, died 1693; his will dated October 21, proved December 28, 1693, bequeathed to wife Lydia, brother Daniel, and seven children by name; to cousin Ezekiel Cheever. mentioned below, and Richard Cheever with his son Bar- tholomew ; to cousins Elizabeth Harwood, William and Samuel Barrett, to William Thwing and Benjamin Marsh; to Stephen Palmer, who married brother Daniel Cheever's daughter Elizabeth; to children of cousin Ballantine and to poor of the old church; his widow Lydia was a sister of William Barrett, and her will was proved March 14, 1701 ; they had no children. Daniel Cheever, brother of the above, born in England, was a husband- man of Cambridge, deposing April 7. 1664. that he was aged about forty-three years; his wife Hester was a member of the church; he (lied March, 1703-4; his will dated April 30. 1698, proved June 21, 1704, refers to Brother Bartholomew Cheever, of Boston, deceased, to sons Israel, James; daughters Lydia Lux-

ford, Elizabeth Palmer and Hannah Barrett, wife of William Barrett, son-in-law of Joseph Champney. Peter Cheever, another immi- grant ancestor, was a nephew of Ezekiel Cheever, mentioned below.

(1) Ezekiel Cheever, immigrant ancestor of this branch of the family, born in London, January 26, 1614-15, came to Boston, Massa- chusetts, in 1637, and became the famous and worthy schoolmaster of the Boston Latin School. He removed in 1638 to New Haven, afterwards to Ipswich, where he resided in 1650; then to Charlestown, in November, 1661, and finally to Boston again in 1671, where he died August 21, 1708. He was an interesting figure in the early history of the colonies. President Eliot, of Harvard Col- lege, has recently written a book about him. He married (first ) in 1638, Mary - -, who died at New Haven, January 20, 1649; (sec- ond) November 18, 1652, Ellen, sister of Cap- tain Thomas Lothrop of Beverly. She died September 10, 1706. His will, dated February 16, 1705-06, proved August 24, 1708, be- queathed to wife Ellen, children Samuel, Mary, Elizabeth, Ezekiel, Thomas and Su- sanna ; to grandson Ezekiel Russell. Children : I. Samuel, born September 22, 1639. 2. Mary, baptized November 29, 1640; married Wil- liam Lewis. 3. Ezekiel, baptized June 12, 1642; died young. 4.

(II) Ezekiel (2), son of Ezekiel (I) Cheever, was born July 1, 1655, and was a tailor by trade. He was one of the signers of the petition of the Salem troop for commis- sioned officers in 1678, and took the oath of fidelity that year. He lived in Salem, and took the freeman's oath May II, 1681. He was a charter member of the church at Salem Village, November 19, 1689, and was soon subjected to its discipline. "Sab. 30 March 1690, Brother Cheevers who having in distress for a horse upon his wives approaching travell about five or six weeks past taken his neigh- bour Joseph Putnams horse out of his stable & without leave or asking of it, was called

forth to give satisfaction to the offended Church as also the last Sabbath he was called forth for the same purpose, but then he failed in giving satisfaction, by reason of his some- what minsing the latter part of his confession, which in the former he had more ingenuously acknowledged, but this day the Church re- ceived satisfaction as was testifyed by their holding up of their hands. And upon the whole a word of caution by the Pastor was dropt upon th offendour in particular, & upon us all in generall." At the hearing before the magistrates, March 1, 1691-2, in Salem Vil- lage, in the cases of the first persons charged with witchcraft, he was deputed to take down the examination of the unfortunates. At the trial of Martha Corey he made the following deposition ; March 19 following : "Mr. Ezekiel Cheevers affirmed to ye jury of inquest : that he saw Martha wife to Giles Cory examined before ye Majestrates at which time he ob- served that ye sd Cory sometimes did bite her lip ; and when she bit her lip mercy Lewis and Elizath Hubbard and others of ye afflicted persons were bitten also when s'd Cory pinch- ed her fingers together: then mercy lewise Elizabeth Hubbard and others were pinched ; and according to ye motions of s'd martha Coryes body ; so was yea fficted persons; af- flicted ; this he affirmed to be true acording to ye best of his observation Mr. Edward Put- nam affirmed ye same to ye jury of inquest that Mr. Cheevers doth Mr. Thomas Putnam affirmed ye same : all upon oaths of all of them."

He owned lands in Dracut, and was one of the committee of proprietors to lay out lands there, and his name appears on the rate list of Salem as late as 1731. His will was dated November 18. 1724, and proved December 30. 1731. He married, in Salem, June 17, 1680, Abigail Lippingwell. Children: 1. Abigail born March 22, 1679-80. 2.
