Joseph, son of Nehemiah (senior), was born in Norton, June 25, 1749; he married, May 7, 1773, Joanna Morse, daughter of Elisha Morse; she was born September 17, 175I, and died December 6, 1837. Joseph Eliot was a minute man of the Revolution, and marched at the Lexington alarm, April 20, 1775, for Boston; he served through the siege of Boston and, re-enlisting, through the cam- paign of New York and New Jersey under General Washington and as corporal in the Saratoga campaign under General Gates; he died of disease, while in the service, Decem- ber 15, 1777. Mr. C. D. Elliot has his powder horn, canteen and bayonet, and his letters to his wife while he was in the army. The chil- dren of Joseph and Joanna (Morse) Eliot were: Joel and Hannah. Joel was born Au- gust 30, 1775, and died at Foxboro, Massa- husetts, July 23, 1864 ; his wife, Mary Murray (Flagg) Elliot, was born in Cambridge, July 14, 1782, and died in Foxboro, January 23, 1865; she was daughter of Timothy and Sarah (Hicks) Flagg, and granddaughter of John Hicks, a member of the Boston Tea Party, and one of the Cambridge minute men
"who fell in defence of the liberty of the peo- ple, April 19, 1775," in whose memory the city of Cambridge has erected a monument in the old historic burying ground near Harvard Square, where they are buried. A tablet on Massachusetts avenue marks the spot where John Hicks and three other patriots were killed by the flank guard of the British. Joel Elliot lived for many years in Cambridge, having a store near Harvard Square; he was at one time a member of the Cambridge fire depart- ment; in 1816 he moved to Foxboro, Massa- chusetts, where he became a prosperous farmer ; it was he who changed the spelling of the family name from Eliot to its present form. The children of Joel and Mary M. were: Mary Joanna, Joseph, Sarah Elizabeth, Caroline, Charles Edwin, Hannah, Timothy, Joel Augustus and Nancy Maria.
Joseph, son of Joel and Mary M. (Flagg) Elliot, and father of Charles D. Elliot, was born in Cambridge, near Harvard Square, Jan- uary 1, 1807, and died in Somerville, Massa- chusetts, July 7, 1874. He married, at Mt. Holly, Vermont, December 24, 1835, Zenora, daughter of Stephen, Jr. and Sibil (Lawrence) Tucker. He built and settled in Foxboro Cen- tre ; he moved thence to Wrentham, from there to Malden, and in 1846 to Somerville, where for fifteen years he was station agent of the Prospect Street, now Union Square station of the Fitchburg Railroad ; he was at one time a member of the Somerville fire department, and in early life of the state militia; in his early days Joseph Elliot was much interested in politics, and was offered the postmastership of Foxboro, which he declined. He was iden- tified with the old Demoratic party in its con- tests with the Whigs, but became a Republican upon the organization of that party, and voted its ticket the remainder of his life. When quite a young man he became a Universalist ; he was a zealous believer, and was one of the first members of the First Universalist Society in Somerville ; he had a wide acquaint- ance with the leaders of the faith, among them the Rev. Thomas Whittemore, editor of the Trumpet, who was a frequent visitor to his home.
Zenora (Tucker) Elliot, mother of Charles D. Elliot, was born in Mt. Holly, Vermont, February 10, 1809, and died while on a visit to that place, October 25, 1885, in the same room in which she was married. She was educated at Randolph Academy, Massachu- setts, one of the leading seminaries in the early part of the last century. In early life she was a Methodist, but later a Universalist ;

she was much interested in religious, literary, temperance and soldiers' relief work. She was a respected member of several organizations. Her father, Stephen Tucker, Jr., was son of Captain Stephen and Abigail (Newell) Tucker. He was born in Charlestown, Mass- achusetts, February 14, 1764, and died in Mt. Holly, Vermont, December 26, 1828. During the burning of Charlestown, June 17, 1775, his mother fled with her children across "the neck" to Medford, constantly threatened with destruction from the British shot and shell which howled past their carriage. Stephen, Jr.'s father was a sea captain and was absent on a voyage at the time of the battle of Bunker Hill. Stephen, Jr. married Sibil Law- rence, December 20, 1790, at Littleton, Mass- achusetts. About the year 1795 or 1796 he removed to Mt. Holly, Vermont, where he was for many years town clerk, selectman and trial Justice. Sibil Lawrence, daughter of Simon and Sibil (Robbins) Lawrence, was born June IO, 1770, and died April 16, 1813; in the Law- rence genealogy her ancestry is traced to John Lawrence, of Watertown, Massachusetts, and thence back to Sir Robert Lawrence, of Ash- ton Hall, England, one of the crusaders, knighted in 1191 for bravery at the siege of Acre by Richard Coeur de Lion. Her grand- father, Lieutenant Eleazer Lawrence, was prominent in the Indian wars, and Simon, her father, was a soldier in the Revolution. The children of Joseph and Zenora Elliot are : Charles Darwin, Alfred Lawrence and Mary Elvira, all living.
On September 3, 1863, Mr. Charles D. El- liot, subject of this sketch, was married to Emily Jane Hyer, a teacher in one of the grammar schools of New Orleans, and secre- tary of the "Union Ladies' Soldier's Aid Soci- ety," of that city, of which her mother (Mrs. Hyer) was president, and which was the first or one of the first organizations of the kind in the southern states. Mrs. Elliot was the adopted daughter of Hon. N. F. Hyer, a native of Vermont, and an officer in the Union army. In 1836 Mr. Hyer emigrated to the wilds of Wisconsin, and was one of the pioneers of that state. He was judge of probate, and a member of the convention that framed its con- stitution. While making explorations in that state he discovered the ruins of an ancient Aztec settlement, which in 1837 he surveyed and mapped, and which became the subject of an interesting correspondence between him and the Hon. Edward Everett; an account of Mr. Hyer's discoveries is printed in the elaborate work of the Smithsonian Institution upon Wis- consin antiquities. Mr. Hyer founded on this
site a new town which he called Aztelan, which name it still bears. In 1848 Mr. Hyer with his family removed to St. Louis, Missouri, and in 1856 emigrated to San Antonio, Texas; in 1857 they recrossed the prairies in Mexican ox carts, and sailed for Pensacola, Florida, whence they went to Louisiana, where at the opening of the civil war, being a pronounced Union man, a plot was laid to kill him, but was foiled by friends among the rebels; he bribed the rebel guard and escaped with his family in the hold of a little schooner across Lake Pontchartrain to New Orleans, where he was appointed by General Butler upon the engineering staff of the army. Mr. Hyer after the war was collector of United States land tax, United States register of voters in Louis- iana, and later parish treasurer; in 1877 he moved back to Wisconsin where he died Sep- tember 12, 1885.
Mrs. Hyer was a descendant of the Clapp, Dorr and Ruggles families of Boston and Roxbury ; she was a woman of liberal educa- tion, and brilliant intellect. She died Decem- ber, 1888; she was especially interested in hos- pital work among the sick and wounded Union soldiers. In 1864, while she was on the steamer "Empress" which was returning north with convalescent Union soldiers, up the Miss- issippi river, the boat was fired into by Con- federate masked batteries and riddled with shot and its captain and several soldiers killed.
Mrs. Elliot had many thrilling experiences while living in the south, both before and dur- ing the Civil war, among them the raiding by Indians of an emigrant camp on the plantation where she was visiting in Texas, and the stampeding of all their horses and cattle.
Mrs. Elliot's own father was David Ring, Jr., who it is surmised may have been a de- scendant of Widow Mary Ring, one of the early settlers of Plymouth, Massachusetts, and whose great-grandson, Andrew, married a descendant of Miles Standish, and settled in Maine. David Ring, Jr., was born in Sumner, Maine, April 7, 1801, and died in Wisconsin, in June, 1874. He was son of David Ring. Sr., born March 3, 1769, and Mehitable (Crockett) Ring; she was born August 26, 1769; Mehitable's father was John Crockett, born August 14, 1738, and her mother, Mary (Starbird) Crockett, born January 19, 1745. David Ring, Jr., married, June 24, 1824, Mary, daughter of John, Jr. and Mary (Urann) Spencer. Mary (Spencer) Ring was born in Bangor, Maine, in 1806, and died in Wiscon- sin, October 13, 1846. Mrs. Elliot's own par- ents moved from Maxfield, Maine, to Illinois and thence to Wisconsin, about the year 1839.

or 1840, where she was born in Union, Rock county, November 23, 1843; on the death of her mother, in 1846, she became by act of legislature the adopted child of Mr. and Mrs. Hyer, as before stated. Mary (Urann) Spencer was baptized in Boston, December 14, 1777, and was married on February 16, 1795, to John Spencer, Jr., by the Rev. Peter That- cher, of the Brattle Street Church in Boston. Mr. Spencer died October 6, 1816, and in 1818 his widow became the second wife of David Ring, Sr., and stepmother of David, Jr., who, as already stated, married her daughter Mary. Mary ( Urann) Spencer was daughter of Joseph and Hannah (Emmes) Urann, both of Boston; Joseph and Hannah were married July 28, 1776; Joseph was son of Captain Thomas and Mary (Sloper) Urann, and was born June II, 1753, in Boston.
Thomas Urann was a member of the "Tea Party;" he was captain of Artificers in Colo- nel Richard Gridley's regiment at Bunker Hill, and later under General William Heath. Mrs. Elliot has one of his original company pay rolls, signed by General Heath, and counter- signed "Capt. Thomas Urann;" he was one of the "Sons of Liberty," and a member of the "North End Caucus," a patriotic associa- tion whose membership included Paul Revere, John and Samuel Adams and General Joseph Warren ; he was a member, and for some time master of the celebrated St. Andrews Lodge of Free Masons, and one of the organizers and first officers of the Grand Lodge of Mass- achusetts. Captain Urann was son of Joseph and Sarah (Jamison) Urann, born in Boston, February 3, 1723, and married April 3, 1751, Mary Sloper, also of Boston. Among Mrs. Elliot's other ancestors were Chief Justice Bartholomew Gedney, of Salem, Captain Joshua Hobart, of Hingham, and Jonas Clark, "the famous ruling elder," of Cambridge.
Mr. Elliot's sister, Mary Elvira Elliot, was born in Somerville, February 2, 1851. She was educated in the schools of Somerville and Cambridge, and at a private school at Fox- boro. She has been a contributor to the press for nearly forty years. In 1878 she assisted in organizing a soldiers' relief corps in Som- erville, and was its president for five years. In 1885 she became state secretary of the Mass- achusetts Woman's Relief Corps, having a membership in this state of about fifteen thousand, which office she still holds; in attendance upon national conventions she has travelled in nearly all of the states and terri- tories of the Union, and has also delivered many memorial day addresses before Grand Army of the Republic posts; she is an officer
of the Ladies' Aid Association of the Soldiers' Home; a charter member of the Bunker Hill Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolu- tion, a member of the New England Historic Genealogical Society, the Somerville Histori- cal Society and other organizations.
After the war Mr. and Mrs. Elliot lived in Foxboro, Cambridge, Brookline, Newton and Somerville, Massachusetts. Meanwhile Mr. Elliot was engaged in various engineering works, including Charlestown, Somerville and Arlington water works; Charlestown, Back Bay, Cambridge and Somerville sewerage; Cape Cod canal surveys and estimates; city engineership of Somerville, 1872-74-75 ; insur- ance surveys of Boston, Lynn and other cities ; laying out the Mystic Valley and other park- ways ; the development, management and mar- keting of real property ; for three years he was in a manufacturing business; and for the last twenty years has been professional expert for corporations and estates.

Hugh McEvoy was born in
MCEVOY Ireland, in 1808, and died in Lowell, Massachusetts, May 19, 1889, aged eighty years five months. He spent his youth in his native land and learned the trade of sailor there. He came to this country and settled in Lowell, Massachusetts, in 1823, and followed his trade there.

The name of Whitney be- WHITNEY longs to a knightly family of remote English antiquity founded by Eustace, living 1086, and styled De Whitney from the lordship of Whitney which he possessed. The present form of the name has been established for about four cen- turies. The American Whitneys of to-day justly claim the blood of many families whose names are most familiar in English history. The early owners of the land before the days when surnames were used were persons whose Christian names, might be, for example, Eus- tace, or Baldwin, or Robert, and these were as is known in this case, Eustace of Whitney, Baldwin of Whitney, and Robert of Whitney,
from the name of the place of their abode, which in this instance, was that locality known at present as the parish of Whitney, situated in the county of Hereford, upon the extreme western border of England adjoining Wales. The earliest mention of the place is a record in Domesday Book, A. D. 1086. The parish of Whitney is traversed by the river Wye, which gives it its name, Whitney-on-the-Wye. It is one of the most beautiful spots in old Eng- land, its Rhydspence Inn reminding one of the description of the old May-Pole. The Anglo- Saxon derivation of the name Whitney is evidently from "hewit," white, and "ey" water, the name meaning white water. In the west of England to-day, Whit-bourn means White brook; Whit-church, White church; and Whit-on, the White town. De Whitney (de, meaning "of") came to be regarded as the family name, and in the course of time this prefix was dropped and the name became Whitney, as it is to-day.
The line had been established for more than five hundred years at Whitney and John, the first settler of this name at Watertown, Mas- sachusetts, could trace his descent directly to Sir Robert of Whitney, who was living in I242, whose father Eustace, already mention- ed, took the surname De Whitney on the Wye in the Marches of Wales, who through a line of three or four generations which has been ably traced by Henry (Whitney) Millville, Esq., of New York, in his history of the Whit- ney family, was a descendant of one "Turstin de Fleming," a follower of William the Con- queror who was mentioned in the Domesday Book, A. D. 1086. The line from Sir Robert (I) of Whitney, living in 1242, passed to an- other Robert (2) of Whitney, and then by Sir Eustace (3) of Whitney, to Sir Robert (4), Sir Robert (5), Sir Eustace (6) de Whitney, knight, Robert (7) of Whitney, James (8) of Whitney, Robert (9) of Icond, Sir Robert (10) of Whitney, knight, Robert (11) of Whitney, esquire, Thomas (12) of Westminster, gentleman, to John Whitney, who with his wife Elinor, and several sons emigrated from London, England, in 1635, and settled in Watertown, Massachusetts, the first of the name in America, and the ancestor of a great majority of the Whitneys now liv- ing in this country.
We unfortunately have no space to speak here of the distinguished members of the early Whitney race in England or to enlarge upon the distinguished careers of many of its mod- ern American members. This has been very fully done in several n.eritorious genealogies

published on this side of the water. Sir Robert Whitney, knight, was sheriff of Herefordshire in the first year of Richard II (1337) and is mentioned by Thomas Fuller in his famous "History of the Worthies of England." It is no doubt true that the family were entitled to a coat armor as long ago as the early crusades and the armorial ensign remained unchanged certainly until the time of the emigration of John Whitney to New England. As the motto on the shield of the Whitney race translated from the Latin into English, is "Gallantly up- hold the Cross," the crusade origin of that object of honor would appear to be substan- tiated by the facts. The Whitney coat-of-arms is a shield with a blue ground on which is a large cross formed of checker-board squares of gold and red, above which, as a crest, was a bull's head, cut off at the neck, black, with silver horns tipped with red. A cross on an ancient coat-of-arms indicated that it belonged to a crusader. A family coat-of-arms could not be devised where the cross would be more prominent than in the Whitney design. In fact, the cross is the only symbol. The coat- of-arms as described, appears on the walls of Hereford Cathedral, England, where a Mrs. Lucy Booth, daughter of Sir Robert Whitney, was buried in 1763. The bull's head is said to have been adopted as a family crest from the fact that Sir Randolph de Whitney, who ac- companied Richard, the lion hearted king of England, to the crusades, was once attacked by three Saracens, one of them the brother of Saladin. Sir Randolph Whitney, single hand- ed, defended himself with the greatest vigor, but his assailants were gaining upon him when a Spanish bull, feeding near by, becom- ing angry at the red dresses of the Saracens flitting before him, joined in the attack against them so furiously that the Saracens were put to flight and left the field victorious to Sir Randolph and the bull. In acknowledgment of the services of the bull in time of need, the bull's head was adopted as a crest to the fam- ily coat of arms. Whether this account be true or not, it is certain that the American de- scendants of the ancient English Whitney family have many times indicated a "bull headed" strength of mind and tenacity of pur- pose in many laudable undertakings.
(I) John Whitney of Watertown, Massa- chusetts, born in England, died at Watertown, June 7, 1673, aged eighty-four years ; his first wife Elinor died at Watertown, May II, 1659, aged fifty-four years ; he married second, Sep- tember 29, 1659, Judith Clement, who died before her husband. Although the Whitney
family is quite numerous in this country, a very large share of them are descendants of John and Elinor Whitney of Watertown, Massachusetts. John Whitney was third son of Thomas Whitney, "gentleman," and dwelt for several years in the parish of Isleworth, near London, England. He was baptized in the parish church of Saint Margaret, July 20, 1592. At Watertown he was a highly respect- ed citizen and shared with the schoolmaster and the minister the then highly esteemed title of "Mr." He served the town as town clerk, selectman and constable for many years, being the first town clerk to be elected by the town.
