(II) James H., son of Joseph B. and Mar- ian (Whitman) Conrad, was born at Bern- ville, Pennsylvania, February 13, 1849, and spent many years of his active business life in the far west, where he was a pioneer. When a young man he learned the trade of cigar making and followed that occupation for a number of years then spent five years in
Chicago, where he kept a grocery store. In 1882 he left Chicago, went to South Dakota and took up a tract of land at what now is Watertown. He was one of the earliest set- tlers in that region, and continued to live there until 1896, when he returned east and took up his residence near Hackensack, New Jersey, starting a fruit farm there. Later on he re- moved to Hackensack and now lives in that city, a carpenter by occupation.

STAGG It is said that the first Stagg in this country was Thomas Stagg, whose wife's baptismal name was Margaret. He is mentioned in a deed as early as 1682 and again in 1684. In 1695 ad- ministration was granted on his estate, he hav- ing died intestate. He left two sons whose names are known, John and William, although there may have been other children besides them.
(I) Jaccb I. Stagg, the earliest known an- cestor of the family here under consideration, was born near the present city of Paterson, April 5, 1789, died November 18. 1840. He was an industrious farmer and his efforts in life were rewarded with a fair degree of suc -. cess. His wife was Catherine Van Riper, and their children were: Mary Catherine, John, Adrian, Francis, Catharine, Jane, Garret, Rich- ard, Henry and Tunis.
(II) John, second child of Jacob I. and Catherine (Van Riper) Stagg, was born near Paterson, New Jersey, October 18, 1856, died in that city in 1872. When a young man he was apprenticed to a blacksmith, but soon abandoned that trade and became a carpenter, following the latter occupation during the greater part of his business life. He was a consistent member of the Cross street and Market street Methodist Episcopal churches, of Paterson, an industrious man and an up- right citizen. He married Maria, daughter of Peter Tise, and of the seven children born of this marriage only two are now living. One son Peter, was a soldier of the civil war, hav- ing enlisted as private in the First Michigan Cavalry ; he rose from the ranks to the rank and commission of colonel of the regiment, and brevet brigadier general, and commanded Custer's brigade when that gallant officer was promoted major general. The children of John and Maria (Tise) Stagg who are now living are : Maria, widow of Hugh Fulton, late of Paterson, and John, see forward.
(III) Chief John Stagg, of the Paterson fire department, was born in that city, Decem- ber 16, 1843. He received a good education in the Paterson public school, and after leav-
ing school learned the trade of a printer. In August, 1862, the second year of the civil war, he enlisted as private in Company A, Eleventh New Jersey Volunteer Infantry; was pro- moted corporal, March, 1863; quartermaster sergeant, September 1, 1864; second lieuten- ant First Michigan Cavalry, December 4, 1864; and first lieutenant March 1, 1865. After the close of the war he continued in service and was on duty at Salt Lake City, Utah, and was finally discharged and mustered out at Fort Bridger, Wyoming, November 10, 1866. His service during the period of the war was chiefly with the Army of the Po- tomac and in the Shenandoah valley.
After returning from the service Chief Stagg resumed his former occupation as a practical printer and compositor, first at "the case" in the office of the Paterson Guardian, of which paper he afterward became foreman of the composing room and still later business manager in the office. Later on he was with the Paterson Morning Call in the capacity of business manager. As early as 1868 he be- came a member of the old Paterson volunteer fire department and was its chief engineer from 1887 until 1889, being the last chief dur- ing the life of the department as a volunteer organization. In 1891 he was made chief of the re-organized and paid department, and has filled that responsible position to the present time. He is a member of Farragut Post, No. 28, Grand Army of the Republic; New York Commandery of the Loyal Legion ; Encamp- ment No. 152, Union Veteran Legion; and Benevolent Lodge, No. 45, Free and Accepted Masons. He was one of the founders and organizers of the New Jersey State Associa- tion of Fire Chiefs, and has served as presi- dent of the National Association of Fire Chiefs.
He married Catherine, daughter of John Fulton, November 5, 1868: she died suddenly while attending a convention of the Fire Chiefs at Dallas, Texas, October II, 1906. Of the seven children born of this marriage six are now living: Sarah, Katherine, Robert, Emma ( wife of John Sand ford), John and Ed- ward Stagg.
It is not always the de- GOOTENBERG scendant of the pioneer who achieves the great- est success in business life in a new country and among strangers, nor always the man of means and superior educatonal attainments who first takes rank with the leading men of

any municipality. In this brief narrative we have to record the events of family life of an ancestor who came to America from a distant European country, and less than two score years ago established himself in mercantile pursuits in the greatest American metropolis. Our record here is not lengthy, yet it is one of honest endeavor and well-earned success.
(I) Yona Gootenberg, immigrant ancestor of the family here considered, was born in St. Petersburg, Russia, in the year 1827. He came to the United States in 1878, locating in the city of New York, where he carried on business as a dealer in furnishing goods. He died October 13, 1906. The given name of his wife was Toyba, who bore him children as follows: I. Gerson, see forward. 2. Leah, married Abraham Rabinowitz, and has seven children. 3. Moe, married Sella -, and has three children. 4. Simon, married Rosa Podlasky, and has five children. 5. Annie, married Harry Zwisohn, and has seven chil- dren. 6. Kate, married Abe Starin, and has five children. 7. Charles, married , and has two children.
(II) Gerson, son of Yona and Toyba Gooten- berg, was born in St. Petersburg, Russia, No- vember 22, 1858, and came to this country in 1881. He lived ten years in New York City, and became an accomplished practical jeweler, watchsmith and silversmith. Not only a com- petent workman, but having acquired an ex- cellent understanding of business methods, he located in Paterson, New Jersey, and set up in business on his own account. His endeav- ors in mercantile life have been rewarded with gratifying success, and he now ranks among the substantial business men of that city. He is a member of Shakespeare Lodge, No. 750, Free and Accepted Masons, of New York, and of the following bodies in Paterson, New Jer- sey : Aerie No. 43, Order of Eagles; Wirth Lodge, No. 146, Independent Order of Odd Fellows; and Barnett Memorial Temple.
Mr. Gootenberg married, May 10, 1883, Eva L., born September 16, 1864, daughter of Louis and Sarah (Weissman) Delerson, both natives of the city of Kovna, Russia. Chil- dren of Mr. and Mrs. Gootenberg: 1. Samuel, died at the age of ten months. 2. David, born March 17, 1885; married, April 14, 1909, Adeline M. Muller, of Paterson, New Jersey, born October 27, 1888, daughter of John P. and Mary ( Powley) Muller. 3. Mabel M., March 18, 1887. 4. Philip, October 28, 1888. 5. Emma, July 3, 1890. 6.

1892, died July 30, 1901. 7. Henry, August 30, 1896.
The various families of Spier, SPEER Spear and Speer, which are found in New Jersey have a common origin in one of the earliest of the old Dutch pioneer families, which first of all settled in New Amsterdam and then went across the Hudson into what is now Bergen county, from whence they have spread through different parts of the state although their name is es- pecially associated with the old inhabitants of Essex and Hudson counties.
(I) Hendrick Jansen Spier or Spieringh emigrated to this country in the ship "Faith" which landed her passengers from Holland in New Amsterdam in December, 1659. He brought with him his wife and two children. Although he acquired a home in New Amster- dam, he seems to have lived there but a little while for May 9, 1662, his wife in his name sells to Christoffel Van Laer their house on the Heere Graft, "next the house of Oloff Stevens Van Cortlandt and Gerrit Janse Roos, extending in front eastward to the Burghwal! and in the rear to the lot of Abraham de la Noye." In this deed Hendrick is styled as "of Gemoenepa," that is as living in what is now Communipaw. In 1679 he is one of the purchasers of a large tract of land in New Jersey on the east of the Hackensack, and he is dead before December 16, 1681, when his widow marries (second) as the third wife of Jan Aertsen, the emigrant ancestor of the Vanderbilt family. By his wife, Magdalena Hansen, Hendrick Jansen Spier had at least two children : I. Barent, who married, July 31, 1698, Kathalyntje Hendrickx. 2. Jan Hen- drickx, referred to below.
(II) Jan Hendrickx, son of Hendrick Jan- sen and Magdalena (Hansen) Spier, was born in Holland and came to this country with his parents. He was one of the earliest of the settlers around Second River, what is now Belleville, and his name is found on a deed referring to that part of the province as early as March 16, 1684. . The family tradition of the Spers is that they are descended from this son of Hendrick J., through his son John or Hans or John, referred to below.
(III) Hans or John, the conjectured son of Jan Hendrickx Spier, appears in Second River in 1720, where on July 13, he conveys to Arent Schuyler, John Stoutenburgh and others the church lot now occupied by the Dutch Re-

(VI) John (2) son of John (I) and Mag- dalena (Van Dyck) Speer, was born and lived in Second River, although he also spent a part of his life at Poversham on what was later known as the cotton-mill property, and then moved back again to Belleville, occupying a stone house still in the hands of his descend- ants, and later occupying the house, built by himself, which has descended to his grand- son, bearing his name. John Speer married Margaret Joralemon ; children : I. John Peter. 2. James Tunis, referred to below. 3. Abra- ham Varic, at one time a member of the New Jersey legislature. 4. Maria, who married Abraham Van Riper, resided on a farm im- mediately south of the Passaic county line, and had five children: Sarah, John, Abraham, Eliaz and Margaret. Of these children Mar- garet married Theodore Sandford. 5. Mag- dalena, married John N. Joralemon, and lived and died within one hundred yards of her father's residence. 6. Margaret, married Abraham Van' Houten, of Belleville village, where they lived and had four children : Will- iam, Cornelius,. Abraham and Anne Maria. 7. Elizabeth, married Peter, son of Michael and Gitty (Cadmus) Sandford. 8. Anna, who died young.
(VII) James Tunis, son of John (2) and Margaret (Joralemon) Speer, was born in Belleville, October 1, 1795, died there July 12. 1867. He married Eliza L. Wade, born De- cember 1798, died July 16, 1878; children : I.

The Germans who so largely HEISLER made up the growth and aided in the development of New . Jersey and Pennsylvania were generally fol- lowers of Luther, but being broad men, many accepted other creeds and faiths and added to the congregations of the Society of Friends and to the Methodism, but the greater part remained within the fold of the Lutheran church. Among the Germans of Pennsylva- nia the name of Heisler is quite common, and both the pulpit and the profession of medicine have had notable men bearing that name. The Rev. Washington L. Heisler was a well known minister of the Lutheran church in Jersey Shore, Lycoming county, Pennsylvania, and his distinguished son, John Clement Heisler, was a graduate of the medical department of the University of Pennsylvania in 1887, and filled the chair of anatomy in that institution,

1889-97, curator of the Horner Museum Uni- versity of Pennsylvania since 1897. Among the Quakers of Burlington county, New Jer- sey, we find another branch of the family.
(I) Jacob Heisler was born in 1782. He married and had a son Jacob, see forward.
(II) Jacob (2), son of Jacob (1) Heisler, was born in Pemberton township, Burlington county, New Jersey, in 1812. He was married in 1840 by the ceremony observed by the So- ciety of Friends to Sarah, daughter of Caleb Malmsbury, of the Society of Friends, and they had children born to them including William Henry, see forward.
(III) William Henry, son of Jacob (2) and Sarah ( Malmsbury) Heisler, was born in Pemberton township, Burlington county, New Jersey, November 19, 1842. He was brought up and educated in his native township, and held office in the township government soon after reaching his majority. Mr. Heisler was a member of the Methodist Episcopal church of Pemberton, and of its board of trustees, also serving the church as superintendent of its Sunday school. Early in life he affiliated with the Masonic fraternity, being initiated into the mysteries of Masonry when made a member of Mount Holly Lodge, No 14. His interest in the welfare of Methodism in America caused him to become an active mem- ber of the Ocean Grove Association of Jer- sey; vice-president of the Board of Home Missions and Church Extension Society of the Methodist Church in America; and treasurer of the Penn Seaman's Friend Society of Phila- delphia. He was elected to membership in the Union League Club of Philadelphia, and of the Penn Historical Society of Philadelphia. He is president of the Manufacturers' Na- tional Bank of Philadelphia, located at No. 27 Third street, and treasurer of the Schlich- ter Jute and Cordage Company of that city.
He was married "out of meeting," about 1874, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to Eliza Jane, born September 25, 1849, daughter of Edmund and Emeline F. (Corrigan) Yard, and granddaughter of Jacob Corrigan, of Philadelphia. Their children were born in Pemberton, Burlington county, New Jersey, as follows: I. Grace Ashton, August 29, 1875, graduated at the Woman's College, Baltimore, Maryland, in 1893; she married, 1894, Harold B. Wells, an attorney and counsellor at law in Pemberton.

vember 30, 1908. 2. Charles Mortimer, 1877, died in infancy. 3. William Henry (2), Janu- ary 6, 1883, was prepared for college in Burl- ington county, matriculated at the Princeton University, and was graduated A. B. 1903. He is studying law with his brother-in-law, Harold B. Wells, Esq.
The name of Elvins so far as is now ELVINS known belongs but to two fami- lies in this country, namely, the family of Congressman Elvins, of Missouri, who is said to be the youngest member of the house of representatives, and the descendants of Andrew Elvins, of Philadelphia, and Ham -. monton, New Jersey, which are set forth below.
(I) Andrew Elvins was a native of Corn- wall, England, born in 1803. He came to America in 1836, arriving at and staying at first for a short time in New York. Having, however, obtained work as a carpenter in Philadelphia, he removed thither and sent for his family to come over to this country and join him, which they did in the year 1848. The mother and son George then set up and kept a dry goods store, which they ran suc- cessfully, while the father worked at his trade until 1858, when the entire family removed to Hammonton, Atlantic county, New Jersey, being one of the first families to settle in that region. Here, living in the home of their son George, Andrew Elvins and his wife passed the remainder of their days in well earned rest and prosperity. Andrew Elvins married, in England, Elizabeth Williams, born in 1810, died in 1884. Their children were : I. John, married Katharine E. Walton and had two children, Mamie and Georgiana. 2. Will- iam Andrew. 3. Mary Elizabeth, married W. D. Walton, of Philadelphia, but had no chil- dren.
(II) George, youngest child of Andrew and Elizabeth (Williams) Elvins, was born in Cornwall, England, June 29, 1838, and is now living in Hammonton, New Jersey. Coming to this country with his mother in 1848, he helped her to run the dry goods store in Phila- delphia, and then buying a three acre lot in Hammonton built his house and store. He at- tended the public schools of Philadelphia, while helping his mother, and from the lessons which he learned in both places he attributes all of his successful subsequent career as a merchant. Mr. Elvins is a member of M. B. Taylor Lodge, Free and Accepted Masons, of Hammonton, and a director in the Working-

mans' Building Association. He has been treasurer of the town of Hammonton for a number of years; also collector, and was for five years one of the freeholders of the town. He was appointed postmaster of the town by President Abraham Lincoln and he held that office for twelve years. While he was serving in this capacity he was also chosen to be one of the state representatives in the New Jersey assembly in 1880-81. For three years he was also chosen to serve on the town council. He is a member of the First Methodist Episcopal Church of Hammonton and is one of the stew- ards and trustees. For the last forty years he has been one of the district stewards of the Methodist Episcopal church.
In 1858, just before his removal to Ham- monton, George Elvins married Annie, daugh- ter of Thomas Clohosey, of Philadelphia, who bore him seven children: I. Mary Elizabeth, married Charles H. Wilson, of Williamstown, Gloucester county, New Jersey, and has three children: Maude, Charles and George. She was born in 1859. 2. Lillian, born in 1861 ; married Godfrey M. Crowell, M. D., an Aus -- tralian of old New England ancestry who re- sides in Hammonton, New Jersey, and has three children : Annie, Edwin and Marian. 3. Annie, born in 1863; married Harry L. Pee- ples, of Hammonton, and has one child, Mar- jorie. 4. Carrie, born 1865; married John E. Wood, of Maine, now living in Philadelphia. and has one child, Oliver. 5. George A., born 1867; unmarried; now living and conducting a real estate business in Atlantic City. 6. Thomas Clohansey, born in 1869; a Republi- can ; member of the New Jersey state assembly for five years up to 1907, and now in business with his father, besides being the present post- master of Hammonton. He married Lillian Ruby, and has five children : Miriam, Hubbard, Thomas, George and Robert. 7. Mabel, born in 1877; married George W. McDougal, of Philadelphia, but has no children.
DE BAUN This name is supposed to have been de Baen and to have orig- inated in Baen, a village in a province of France, in order to designate a family in Baen. At all events there is no doubt of the nationality to which the name belongs as being French. This leads to the material in- ference of the political and religious leaning of the family as being Huguenot and opposed to the oppression of the Roman church in France. Then following this trend, we are not surprised to find the name in the Netherlands ii-20
and especially on the north of the River Rhine, in the Lower Palatinate, and thence following the flood of immigration that built up New Netherlands and New Amsterdam, which pass- ed into the possession of England in 1664. This change of proprietorship did not, how- ever, stop the flow of immigration from France to Holland, Belgium and England, of those driven out of Catholic France by persecution and threatened martyrdom. It was among these later refugees that the de Baens came to New York. about the year 1683. Living for many years and perhaps for two generations in the land of the Dutchmen, they had acquired their habits and language and the de Baen of their fatherland had became De Baun in Hol- land and in the Dutch city of New Amsterdam, which city had taken the English name New York in 1664. It was at this time that the Dutch flag was lowered and the English flag hoisted over the fort, whose frowning walls and threatening cannons protruding from in- numerable portholes in these walls, threatened annihilation to any vessel sailing up the harbor except under the royal standard of Great Brit- ain. It is in the little town of Bushwick across the East river from New York and between the Wallabout and Hell Gate on the Long Island shore front that we find Joost De Baune. (I) Joost (Yost) De Baune was the clerk of the town of Bushwick, Long Island, in 1684, and in 1685 we find him the schoolmaster and clerk of the town of New Utrecht, south of the Wallabout, on Long Island. His position in the community is plainly denoted by his occupa- tion as clerk of the towns in which he lived and as schoolmaster in New Utrecht, which vocation was second only to that of the min- istry. He was evidently a supporter of the policy of the aristocratic lieutenant-governor, Nicholson, for when the democratic colonists under the lead of Captain Jacob Leisler took possession of the state house in the name of William of Orange and was appointed lieu- tenant-governor by the committee of safety, De Baun was deposed from his offices as clerk and schoolmaster. He took the oath of allegiance to the aristocratic rule at New Utrecht in 1687 and continued to reside in the town, was reinstated as clerk and schoolmaster, and his name appears on the assessment rolls of New Utrecht in 1693 and on the census in 1698. We next find him living near Hackensack, in Bergen county, New Jersey, as early as 1709, which locality became the home of his descend- ants.
