Scotland and was translated in Germany and is universally held in highest esteem as the best exposition of the system of Calvinistic doctrine known as Princeton Theology. His last book "What is Darwinism?" appeared in 1874. His articles in the Review have been gathered into volumes as "Princeton Essays" (1857), and "Hodge's Discussions on Church Polity" (1878), and have taken permanent place in theological literature.
As a preacher Dr. Hodge was hardly popu- lar save with a specialized academic audience, his manner being unemotional in the extreme and his sermons being always closely read. But as a teacher and a man he was as endeared to his pupils and friends by his simplicity and modest personality as he was revered for his learning. At his jubilee in 1872, when an en- tire afternoon was taken up with laudatory addresses from representative men and institu- tions from the world over, his only comment was "I heard it all as of some other man."
In his home he was an affectionate father, sympathetic guide and charming host. A fine conversationalist, he abounded in humor and anecdote and was a master in the art of listen- ing. Although his academic relations largely compelled him to appear a controversialist in public, yet his personal sympathies went be- yond the narrow confines of sect. It has been well said that he gave his sympathy to all good agencies. Historically in the Presbyterian church he is ranked rather as a defender of the traditional Calvinistic theology than as a constructive or progressive force. He received the degree of D. D. from Rutgers College in 1834 and that of LL. D. from Washington and Jefferson College in 1864. He was a trustee of Princeton University from 1850 until his death.
He married (first), June 17, 1822, Sarah Bache, daughter of William and Catherine (Wistar) Bache. Catherine Bache was sister of Dr. Caspar Wistar, Professor of Anatomy in the University of Pennsylvania. William Bache was a grandson of Benjamin Franklin. Mrs. Sarah (Bache) Hodge died December 25, 1849, aged fifty-one. On July 8, 1852, Dr. Hodge married ( second), Mary Hunter Stock- ton, died February 28, 1880, widow of Lieu- tenant Samuel Witham Stockton, United States navy. She was a daughter of the Rev. Andrew Hunter ( Princeton, 1772), professor at Prince- ton and chaplain of the navy yard at Washing- ton, D. C.

Archibald Alexander Hodge, D. D., LL. D., son of Dr. Charles and Sarah ( Bache) Hodge, was born in Princeton, July 18, 1823. . He was graduated from Princeton University in 1841. He then spent a year studying with Professor Joseph Henry and a year teaching at Lawrence- ville, New Jersey. In 1843 he entered Prince- ton Seminary, spending four years there, dur- ing two of which he was tutor in the university. He was licensed in 1846 and ordained as a foreign missionary in 1847; in August of that year he sailed for India, and at Allahabad re- mained until the spring of 1850, when im- paired health obliged his return. He was pas- tor of a church at West Nottingham, Mary- land, 1851-55, Fredericksburg, Virginia, 1855- 61, and of Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, 1861- 64. He was then elected professor of Didactic and Polemic Theology in Western Theological Seminary, Allegheny, Pennsylvania, where he remained until 1877, when he was called to Princeton Seminary to be associated with his father. On the death of his father, the next year, he was elected professor of Didactic and Polemic Theology and occupied the chair until his sudden death on November 1I, 1886. He received the degree of D. D. from Princeton University in 1862 and that of LL. D. from Wooster in 1876. He was a trustee of Prince- ton University from 1881 until his death. He married (first) at Winchester, Virginia, June 17, 1847, Elizabeth Bent Holliday, who died at Allegheny, Pennsylvania, September 28, 1868. He married (second), at Detroit, Michi- gan, Mrs. Margaret (McLaren) Woods, who survives him. Children by his first wife are Sarah Bache, now living in Princeton, and Elizabeth Halliday, who died in 1893. Dr. Hodge was considered one of the greatest pulpit orators of the country. He resembled
Dr. Archibald Alexander in his genius for oral expression. He had a remarkable faculty for definition, analysis and original illustration, and his brilliant imagination clothed his lan- guage with charm. While overshadowed by his father as a writer of review articles, he nevertheless published works which have given him high rank as a theological writer. His "Outlines of Theology," published first in 1860, has been translated into several languages. His "Atonement," published in 1868, was republish- ed in London in 1886. His "Exposition of the Confession of Faith" appeared in 1869 and in 1880 he published his "Life of Charles Hodge," a volume entitled Popular Lectures on Theo- logical Themes was posthumously published in 1887.
Casper Wistar Hodge, D. D., LL. D., son of Dr. Charles Hodge, was born in Princeton, February 21, 1830, and was named after Pro -. fessor Casper Wistar, of the University of Pennsylvania. He grew up and was educated in Princeton, and with the exception of two short pastorates spent his entire life in Prince- ton. He was fitted for college by his lifelong friend and preceptor, the brilliant Dr. Joseph Addison Alexander. He was graduated at the head of his class in Princeton University in 1848, and while acting as secretary to Pro- fessor Joseph Henry taught for a year at Edge- hill School, Princeton, entering Princeton Seminary in 1849. While in the seminary he was tutor in Greek in the university from 1850 to 1852. In 1853 he was licensed and in 1854 ordained. His first charge was at Brooklyn, one year as stated supply and two years as pastor. In 1856 he became pastor at Oxford, Pennsylvania, remaining until 1860, when he was called to Princeton Seminary to succeed Dr. J. Addison Alexander, who had just died leaving vacant the chair of Hellenistic and New Testament Literature. On Dr. Casper Hodge's assumption of the chair it was called the Professorship of New Testament History and Biblical Greek. In 1879 the title was changed again to New Testament Literature and Exegesis, he having assumed the work in New Testament Exegesis done by his father, Charles Hodge. For thirty-one years he per- formed the duties of this chair. Of a retiring disposition and averse to publicity, he was pre- vented from taking a prominence in the church at large commensurate with his attainments. He published only a few sermons and reviews. His special power was in the classroom, and his preaching was particularly enjoyed by the intellectual and theological audiences of the

DEPUE Some of the noblest families of France have been those whose names have been in the Hugue-
not history. For centuries prior to the refor- mation their names had become famed for dis- tinguished services. One of these old famous French names is DuPuy. It is mentioned in the history of the country in the eleventh cen- tury, and was found in the southeastern sec- tion where Le Puy, two hundred and seventy miles a little southeast of Paris is the capital town of the department of Haute-Loire prov- ince of Languedoc. In the tenth century its name was Podium Sanctae Mariae and it sent the flower of its chivalry to the crusades in 1096. Joining Haute-Loire on the northwest is the department of Puy de Dome, province of Auvergne.
Louis Moreri (1643-1680), a French his- torian, says "Du Puy is an old house, prolific of illustrious men." It is almost certain it had its origin in France. In 1033, when Conrad II united to the German empire two burgundies, he appointed Raphael DuPuy, who held the offices of commander of the Roman cavalry and grand chamberlain of the Roman republic, as governor of the conquered province of Languedoc and Dauphiny, whose descendants became possessors of many fine estates. His
son, Hugo, joined the crusaders in 1096 under Godfrey de Bouillon and was accompanied therebv by three or his four sons, Alleman, Rodolphe, Romaine and Raymond. Rodolphe died in Palestine in battle. Romaine died in the Palestinian principalities given him by Godfrey. A Raymond succeeded Gerard De Martigues as rector of the hospital of St. John of Jerusalem and was the first to assume the title of grand master of the Knights Hospital- lers.
From one or another of the four sons of Hugo the Crusader have descended all of that name in this country, whose ancestors were identified with the reformed religion of France. No less than five Huguenot Du Puys immigrated to this country and there was probably more. One of these was Dr. John Du Puy, who settled in New York City, hav- ing come from England by way of Port Royal, Jamaica, British West Indies. Another Fran- cois appears among the early settlers of the parish of King William at Manakintown, Vir- ginia. A third, Bartholomew, born in Langue- doc, immigrated to Virginia. The brothers Nicholas and Francis are referred to below.
(I) Nicholas Depuy, founder of the branch of the family at present under consideration, fled from France to Holland during the perse- cution which succeeded the revocation of the Edict of Nantes, and came from there to America with his brother Francois. He arrived in New York in October, 1662, on the "Pumberland Church." In March, 1663, he applied to the city authorities for land, seed and provisions for six months. In June, 1665, he was sworn in as beer and weigh-house poster, and in 1674 was named in the list of the wealthiest citizens and was taxed on six hun- dred florins. He lived in what was known as De Markedelt, in the rear of the present Pro- duce Exchange. Sometime before his death he was granted a large tract of land west of the Hudson river, in Ulster county, New York, and on this land his son Moses settled, most probably before his father's death. All of the authorities speak of his having three children on his arrival in New Amsterdam, and if so one must have died before he did. His will was proved in July, 1691, and he left his property to his wife and his surviving chil- dren "share and share alike."
Nicholas Depuy married Caterina Renard, of New Amsterdam, whose relatives it is said changed their name to DeVos, or DeVosch, and became the ancestors of one branch of the De Veaux family. Children: 1. John, born

September 1, 1689, he took the oath of allegiance in that county, and among "a list of Commanding Officers, Mille- tery, and Sidel ; Old exofesers and old men," is mentioned Mr. Moses Depuy. In 1703 he was one of the charter members under the grant from Queen Anne, of the town of Rochester, New York. He became the most prominent man in Ulster county. He married (first) Maria, born Albany, 1660, daughter of Cor- nelis and Maria Janse (Langendyck) Wyn- koop, of Kingston, whose parents were in Albany as early as 1665, and came to Kings- ton before 1671 and (second) October 16, 1724, Peter Neltje DePree, widow of Marti- nus Van Aken, of Rochester.

(III) Benjamin, eighth child and fourth son of Moses and Maria (Wynkoop) DePuy, was baptized October 13, 1695, died in 1765. He moved to the Minnesink, where his brother Nicolaes already lived. In an old manuscript written by Dr. Cornilius Depuy, he is said to have been "A farmer of very strong mind, pius and of a mild disposition. His house was burned by the Indians. He died at the age of seventy year." September 3, 1719, he mar- ried (first) Elizabeth, baptized February 18, 1700, daughter of Jochen and Antje (Hussey) Schoonmacher. Her father was supervisor of Rochester, 1709 to 1712, and captain of a com- pany for defense against the Indians. He was the eldest son of Hendrick Jochemse Schoon-
macher and Eliza Janse, daughter of Jan Janse Brestede, and widow of Adriaen Peter- sen Van Alcmaer.

He removed at first to Wallpack, New Jersey, where in 1745 he was surveyor of highways and reappointed to the same position in 1751. In 1758 he became assessor, and in 1767 is recorded as freeholder. Two years before this last date, in 1765, he removed to Lower Mount Bethel township, where he became one of the most prominent men in that region. He was a member of the First Batallion of Associaters, of Northampton county, Pennsylvania, and was a member of Captain John Arndt's com- pany, which was engaged in the battle of Long Island. August 27, 1776, and at Fort Wash- ington, November 16, 1776. He was also one of the thirty-three members of that company who rallied the next day at Elizabethtown. After this he served in the revolutionary war as commissary. He was elected a delegate from Northampton county to attend the con- vention at Philadelphia to apportion the dele- gates to be elected throughout the province of Pennsylvania, who were to meet at Philadel- phia to frame a constitution for that state. He was also elected from Mount Bethel township on the Northampton county committee of safety, and attended two meetings at Easton, Pennsylvania.

(VI) Benjamin (3), son of Abraham and Susanna (Hoffman) Depue, was born in Lower Mount Bethel township, Northampton county, Pennsylvania, September 1, 1796, died June 19, 1884. He married Elizabeth Ayres and among his children was David Ayres, re- ferred to below.
(VII) David Ayres, son of Benjamin (3) and Elizabeth (Ayres) Depue, was born at Mt. Bethel, Northampton township, Pennsylvania, October 27, 1826. After a thoroughly pre- pared course at the school of the Rev. John Vander Veer at Easton, Pennsylvania, he entered Princeton College in 1843, and gradu- ated therefrom in 1846. Immediately after- wards he became a student of law in the office
of John M. Sherrerd, Esquire, at Belvidere, Warren county, New Jersey, was admitted to the New Jersey bar as attorney in 1849, and began the practice of law at Belvidere. Here, by his familiarity with his subjects, his perse- verance and his ability he soon won a place in the front rank of his profession. By legislative appointment he was associated with Chief Justice Beasley and Cortland Parker, Esquires, in the revision of the New Jersey laws. In 1866 he was appointed a justice of the supreme court of New Jersey by Governor Marcus L. Ward, and when his term expired in 1873 he was re- appointed for a second term by Governor Joel Parker, and again for a third term in 1880 by Governor George B. McClellan. At first his circuit embraced the counties of Essex and Union, but the great increase of popula- tion and of judicial labor in the circuit occa- sioned a division, and Judge Depue removed from Belvidere to Newark in 1866, where he resided for the remainder of his life. He was reappointed in 1887-94. He continued to serve as associate judge of the supreme court until May 1, 1900, when he succeeded Mr. Magee as chief justice, and served until November 16, 1901, when having completed his thirty-fifth year of judicial service he retired to private life. In 1874 Rutgers College, New Jersey, gave him the title of LL. D., and in 1880 Princeton University gave him the degree of LL. D.
Judge Depue was not only a student of practice, but also of the science of law, and was distinguished as a judge in a state prolific of able jurists, possessing in an eminent degree a judicial mind, with distinctness of opinion, rare knowledge and understanding, united with the greatest care and clearness of statement. As a dispenser of justice he stands equally high and is accounted "the soul of justice, honor and purity." The fact that his second and third appointments to his judicial post were made by his political opponents, he being Republican and they Democratic, tests the ex- cellence of his record as judge. In private life Judge Depue was distinguished for the same modesty and uprightness which characterized him in the performance of his official duties. Blended in his character was a keen apprecia- tion of humor and over it he wore a graceful and fitting garment of a courteous affability.
He married (first) 1859, Mary Van Allen. daughter of John Stuart, a native of Scotland, who came to America and settled in Warren county in 1811, and was the first cashier of the Belvidere Bank, which post he retained from

the organization of the bank until 1854 when he resigned. Child: Elizabeth Stuart. He married (second) 1862, Delia Ann, daughter of Oliver E. Slocum, Esquire, of West Gran- ville, Massachusetts. Children: I. Sherrerd, referred to below. 2. Mary Stuart, married, October 26, 1887, Sydney Norris, second son of Morgan Lewis and Eliza Glendy (Mc- Laughlin) Ogden ; five children : Lucy Depue, August 19, 1888; Miriam Wolcott, January 28, 1890 ; Mary Norris, January 3, 1892 ; Syd- ney Norris, Junior, July 7, 1893, died Septem- ber II, 1894; and David Ayres Depue, Octo- ber 16, 1897. 3. Frances Adelia.
(VIII) Sherrerd, eldest child of David Ayres and Delia Ann (Slocum) Depue, was born in Belvidere, Warren county, New Jer- sey, August 1, 1864. For his early education he was sent to private schools and afterwards was prepared for college in the Newark Acad- emy, from which he graduated in 1881. En- tering Princeton University he received his academic degree in 1885, and then going to the Columbia Law School he graduated in 1887. After this he read law in the office of Vice- Chancellor Frederick William Stevens, and was admitted to the New Jersey bar in June, 1888, as attorney and as counsellor in 1891. and began the practice of his profession in Newark, New Jersey, where he has been engaged ever since. Until 1898 he was in partnership with Chauncey G. Parker under the firm name of Depue & Parker. When the firm was dissolved in the last mentioned year, the present firm of Lindabury, Depue & Faulks was formed. In 1895-96 Mr. Depue was the city attorney for Newark, and he has also held the office of assistant United States dis- trict attorney. In politics he is a Republican, and he is regarded as one of the shining lights of his profession in the state. His pleasing personality, together with his genial manner, his unfailing courtesv and his disposition to go out of his way to assist others, coupled with ability of the very highest order and brilliancy, have placed him at the head of his profession in a city and state, both of which are remark- able for the great acuteness and learning of their legal representatives. He is a member of the North Reformed Church.
October 10, 1892, he married in Newark, Mabel Terry, born there January 2, 1866, only daughter of Thomas B. and Mary May (Rux- ton) Norris, whose son, Robert Van Arsdale Norris, married Esther Schumacher, and has three children, Robert, Jane and Esther.

STRYCKER The Strycker family is of most remote antiquity. Proof has been brought from Hol- land of the family having remained on the same estates near the Hague and near Rotter- dam for full eight hundred years prior to the coming of the first member to this country in 1652. The following facts, viz .: the ducal coronet on the crest and the family being traced far back to the latter part of the eighth century, prove that the progenitors were among the great military chieftains of the Nether- lands who were created dukes, counts and barons by Charles the Bald, in order to bring some form of government out of the chaos of those times long before the advent of the Dutch Republic. Many legends are told of this powerful family in those warlike days- one particularly accounting for the three boars' heads upon the shield.
