JUMEL, Madame. About half a mile southerly from the "Jenks place," now occupied by James H. Goodrich on the east side of the road leading by the " Hair Place," now occupied by Henry M. Green, is an old cellar-hole where a house once stood, in which, in 1794, a young girl lived with her sister, mother, and step-father in extreme poverty. This young girl afterwards became the distinguished personage whose name stands at the head of this paragraph. The following particulars of her most romantic life were given to Hon. Charles Adams, jr., by Thomas Henry Edsall, Esq., a lawyer of New York City, who was appointed with the late distinguished lawyer Charles O'Connor of New York to manage the legal proceedings hereinafter referred to.
About 1778 to 1780 a sailor named Bowen, belonging to Providence, R.I., was lost at sea, leaving in that place a widow, Phebe, with two young daughters, Polly and Betsey, both born probably between 1773 and 1777. On the 16th of Sept. 1790, the widow married Capt. Jonathan Clark, who had served in the Revolution, a native of Weymouth, by trade a shoemaker, poor and somewhat dissipated. They were married in Providence, and resided there with her two daughters (and perhaps a son) till June 4, 1791, when they were " expelled " from Providence, probably lest they . should become a town charge. In Feb. 1793, they were in Rehoboth, an adjoining town across the Seekonk River in Massachusetts; in September of that year in Taunton, and in Feb. 1794, they were residing in Brookfield, at the house indicated above, whence they removed the next summer to Rutland, Mass., where they lived until the autumn of 1797. Their " manner of life " previously may be inferred from what it was in Rutland. There they lived in a small one-story cabin, partly under ground, about fifteen or twenty feet in area, built into the southerly side of a sand hill, called "Goose Hill," in what is known as "New Boston." The site of their house is now included in a town burying-ground, first used as such about sixty years ago, and stood where the gate now stands. It had but one room, which the whole family occupied in common, with 'a single chimney on one side; with two doors leading respectively to the road and to the roof. Just within the front door, opening upon a road now discontinued, Clark used to sit at his bench, and work at his trade. His wife worked out in the families of their neighbors, to whom she not unfrequently complained of the crossness of her husband. He had become quite dissipated, but retained his taste for reading, to which he was much given.
The family did not go to meeting, nor the girls to school, nor did the girls visit the neighboring houses ; and some incidents related by old people who in 1834 rec- ollected the family, indicated that the reputation of the young women was not above suspicion.
Mr. Edsall writes July 8, 1884, " I had fifteen receipts, which were given to Clark in Sept. 1797, the last month probably of his residence in Rutland, all except one given for 'one dollar in full of all demands,' which indicated that he spent that month in settling up with his neighbors, showing that he was not entirely impecuni- ous. It is not impossible that their departure was made in anticipation of a 'warn- ing' from the town authorities. Sometime that autumn (1797) Clark and his family removed to North Carolina, where both parents were carried off by an epidemic in 1798. The two girls managed in some way to get to Washington, and afterwards to New York, where Betsey, who possessed great beauty and an attractive manner,

captivated the very wealthy French merchant Stephen Jumel, and became his wife. The date of their marriage cannot be accurately determined, but was about 1804 to 1808." Thus the lowly-born, uneducated Betsey Bowen rose from her obscurity and poverty, and became the wife of one of the merchant princes of New York, the possessor of wealth, and every thing that wealth could command.
They lived together until 1832, when Jumel died, having settled upon his wife a very large estate, and she was designated as " Madame Jumel."
But she was destined to fill a much higher and more distinguished social position.
Late in the same year, 1832, she was married to Aaron Burr, who had been Vice- President of the United States from 1801 to 1805, the first term of President Jeffer- son's administration.
This was an ill-advised, unhappy, and brief union. He was then seventy-six, and she about fifty-five. They separated in 1833, and she commenced a suit for divorce that year or the next.
The date of the decree of divorce is not found on the records of New York; and it is not impossible that none was obtained ; but by decree or without one, they were separated, and she took the name of her first husband, and was ever afterwards known as " Madame Jumel."
Having unlimited means at her disposal, she spent much of her time in France, residing alternately in the French capital and in our own commercial metropolis.
She was for many years well known at Saratoga Springs and Niagara Falls by most of the fashionable visitors at these fashionable places, and occasionally spent a winter in New Orleans. The estate settled on her by her first husband consisted largely in real estate in New York City, - on Broadway, Seventh Avenue, and other streets, - and a large tract of land on Washington Heights, including the his- toric mansion of the English Col. Morris, overlooking Harlem River, in which she resided at the time of her death.
She owned a large amount of real estate at Saratoga Springs, purchased by her- self; and here she used to make great display of dress and equipage at her annual visits.
Madame Jumel was endowed by nature with wonderful personal beauty of form and feature, united with a most attractive and fascinating manner, and these charac- teristics, together with great mental vivacity, she retained to old age, even to the very verge of life. She died at the "Jumel Mansion " in New York, June 14, 1865, aged over ninety years.
After her death her will was admitted to probate, giving the bulk of her estate to the Episcopal Church and its rector at Washington Heights, and to various charitable societies and institutions. The members of her family, consisting of a nephew and niece, children of a daughter of her sister Polly, whom she had adopted, and their father Nelson Chase, Esq., a lawyer of New York City, all of whom re- sided with her, and had reasonably expected to succeed to her estate, were given but little.
The late celebrated Charles O'Connor was retained on their behalf, and he brought suit to annul the will. It was in the course of his preparation for the trial of this case which engrossed all his great learning, and which he intended to make the crowning effort of his professional career, that the early history of "Madame Jumel " was hunted up, and the clouds of romance which had surrounded it were dissipated.
The will was set aside, and Mr. Chase and his children became possessed of the estate. But their tenure was soon assailed from another quarter. By the laws of New York, an illegitimate child inherits from the mother.

The will being out of the way, George Washington Bowen, a citizen of Provi- dence, R.I., brought suit to recover a part of the property, claiming to be the son of Betsey Bowen born out of marriage at that place in 1794. After a long and severe contest, in which Hon. George F. Hoar of Massachusetts was leading coun- sel for the claimant, Mr. O'Connor scored another victory for his clients. Still another attack was made by the children of Polly Bowen, who had married a brass- founder named Jones, and claimed the estate as heirs-at-law of their aunt. In this case the notorious Count Johannes, once an actor, named George Jones, represented the plaintiffs, who were defeated. Finally, the heirs of Stephen Jumel in France and elsewhere, came forward to assert their claims to the estate, and brought suit which resulted in a compromise; and the property which has so long been the sub- ject of litigation has now been sold, and its proceeds divided.
Mr. Chase became the purchaser of the "Jumel Mansion," which he now occu- pies as his residence. The compromises which ended the litigation were successively made within a year or so (i.e., in 1882 or 1883). The value of the property at that time (parts of it having been theretofore taken for public use -for a reservoir at High Bridge, and for other purposes, besides what was dissipated in the many liti- gations), was probably more than a million of dollars. Lower prices were ob- tamed at the public sale than could have been realized at private sale a few years before, when there was speculation in up-town lots.
Mr. Chase once told Mr. Edsall that he had received a bona fide offer of three million dollars for the up-town tracts, which he had reason to think was made in behalf of the late imperial family of France on the eve of its downfall.
The following was copied from a New York paper : -
" MADAME JUMEL'S PROPERTY TO BE SOLD, New York, June 30, 1881. After protracted litigation Judge Barrett to-day rendered a decision decreeing the sale of old Madame Jumel's property, possession of which has been contested by the heirs since 1865. The property consists of 1,400 lots in different parts of the city."
