(IV) Dr. Richard, son of Johns Hopkins, was born March 2, 1762. He married Han- nah Hammond. He had a daughter Richarda, who married Robert Dawson (see Dawson, VI).


THURSTON Some authorities claim the name Thurston to have originated from the Danish troest, meaning trusty, faithful, while others claim it is from the god Thor, and a word meaning stone, signifying "stone of Thor." The name was early known in several coun- ties of England, and Thurston was one of the archbishops of Fife, Scotland, in the twelfth century.

(VIII) Jonathan Hubbard, oldest son of Joseph (4) and Lucy Buckman (Davis) Thurston, was born October II, 1829, at Pax- ton, Massachusetts, died in 1904. While living in Leicester, Massachusetts, he was engaged as salesman and merchant; subsequently he re- moved to Passaic, New Jersey, where he be- came a city councilman. Later he removed to Lincoln, Delaware, and while living there joined the Presbyterian church of Milford. He married, April 10, 1851, Maria Louisa, daughter of Charles and Mary ( Parker ) Whit- temore, born at Charlestown, Massachusetts.


who since the death of her husband resides with her daughter, Mrs. Mark L. Bennett. They had children as follows: I. Effie Ger- trude, born September 6, 1855, at Leicester, Massachusetts ; married, June 25, 1877, Charles Barker, of Lincoln, Delaware, and has two children: Madeline Amanda, born November 25, 1878, and Sadie Waterhouse, January 25, 1881. 2. Inez May. 3. Mabel Louise, Sep- tember 30, 1869, at Passaic, New Jersey ; mar- ried Mark L. Bennett, of Maryland.


(IX) Inez May, second daughter of Jona- than Hubbard and Maria Louisa (Whitte- more) Thurston, was born February 10, 1864, at New York City. She married, May 23, 1889, Frank Hughes, of Passaic, New Jersey, (see Hughes, III).


Henry Sewell, immigrant an- SEWELL cestor, came from England to Virginia, before 1632, and from him Sewell's Point at the entrance to Elizabeth river, opposite Fortress Monroe, takes its name. At the court holden May 31, 1640, Henry Sewell and Captain Sibley were authorized to build a church at Sewell's Point, and August 2, 1640, they and others were directed to pay Mr. Thomas Harrison, the minister. This was an independent church. He was elected to the house of burgesses from Elizabeth City in 1632 and from Lower Nor- folk county in 1639. We have an account of Henry Sewell of Sewell's Point from his factor in London of tobacco sent over in the ships "America and Alexandria" and for one-half of a cargo in a shallop with sassafras roots, sold in England, and showed cash receipts to have been six hundred and fifty pounds, nine- teen shillings and six pence. He married Alice. daughter of Thomas Willoughby, who came to Virginia in 1610, was justice of Eliz- abeth City in 1628, burgess, 1629-32, and councilor from 1644 to 1650. Henry Sewell died in 1644, and at a court held that year in Lower Norfolk county at the house of Ensign Lambert, February 20, Mathew Philips, his administrator, was ordered to pay Thomas Harrison, clerk, one thousand pounds of tobacco for "burial and preaching of the funeral sermon of Mr. and Mrs. Sewell, deceased, and for breaking ground in the chancel of the church for the burial of Mr. and Mrs. Sew- ell." At a subsequent session of the court, February 25, 1649, it appeared that the admin- istrator died before settling the estate and the son, Henry Sewell, then ten years old, was ordered sent abroad in charge of his kinsman,

Mr. Thomas Lee. Children: I. Anne, born 1634 or earlier ; married, about 1649, Lemuel Mason (she was married before February 25, 1740-50). 2. Henry, 1639, according to a deposition dated 1662, and died without issue, according to a deposition taken in 1672. (But there was probably another son Henry, a not uncommon custom in England being to name two sons with the same baptismal name, to the utter confusion of the genealogist).


(II) Henry (2) Sewell, the pioneer in Maryland, is stated on good authority to be son of Henry (1) Sewell. He certainly was related, possibly a nephew, though more likely son. Sewell came from Sewell's Point, Vir- ginia, with others about 1660 and was prob- ably born about 1630. Peter Porter, of Sew- ell's Point, settled at the head of Severn river, Maryland, in 1650. Came also Edward Lloyd, Cornelius Lloyd, Mathew Howard, Thomas Todd, William Crouch, James Horner, Nich- olas Wyatt, Thomas Howell, Thomas Gott, William Galloway, James Warner, Richard Acton and others. One of these, James Warner, was the father of Johannah Warner, whom Henry Sewell married. By the will of James Warner, Johanna Sewell inherited "Warner's Neck" and an attempt was made in the will to prevent the estate ever being alien- ated from her family. But her son, Henry Sewell, sold it to Samuel Howard. His brother, Henry Sewell Jr., contested this sale on the plea of entail, and seems to have won the point in court. Henry Jr. remained upon the homestead. Children: James and Henry Jr., mentioned below.


(III) Henry (3), son of Henry (2) Sewell, was born in Maryland about 1660. He took up "Sewell's Fancy" and bought a part of "Duvall's Delight" upon the Patuxent, from Charles Carroll. His will, dated 1726, men- tions children, given below, and bequeathed the Howard and Porter's Range bought of Richard and Adam Shipley, and Hereford, the Marriott tract, perhaps coming to him through his wife, Mary, who was a Marriott. John Sewell bought his brothers' shares in this latter tract and became sole owner. The old Sew- ell homestead, as this is called, has been in the possession of the Marriott and Sewell families since 1673; it is near Indian landing at the head of Severn river, Anne Arundel county, Maryland. Children : Samuel, Mary, Henry, Joseph, Philip, John, mentioned below.


(IV) John, son of Henry (3) Sewell, was bornĀ·before 1700 in Anne Arundel county. He married Hannah, daughter of Daniel Carroll,


at St. Anne's, Annapolis, May 30, 1721. She was baptized March 2, 1713, at St. Anne's Church. Children: 1. Henry, born 1723, baptized with his brother at All Hallows Church, July 4, 1726. 2. John, born 1725.


(V) Henry (4), elder son of John and Hannah (Carroll) Sewell, born 1723 and bap- tized 1726, as above noted, was probably the father of the next mentioned.


(VI) Basil, probably a son of Henry (4) Sewell, married Elizabeth, daughter of Ralph Dawson, of Annapolis (see Dawson, IV). He resided in Talbot county, Maryland, and died in 1802. His will, probated September 28 of that year, mentions his sons: James, Basil, William, Clement and Nicholas, and his daughter Mary, wife of Robert Dawson. He also mentions a son Thomas. He must have been very young, for his son James was directed to care for him.


(VII ) James, eldest child of Basiland Elizabeth (Dawson ) Sewell, married Rudolph - --- and lived in Maryland. He was the General James Sewell who figured in the war of 1812 and was in command of Fort McHenry, at the time the song, "The Star Spangled Banner," was writ- ten. He was at one time a candidate for the office of governor of Maryland; his country seat, Holly Hall, is still in a good state of preservation and one of the points of historical interest in Cecil county.


The Smalley family of New SMALLEY Jersey belongs to old Devon- shire stock, and comes from the same neighborhood as did the Drakes, who have made such a name for themselves, not only in New Jersey, but also in New England. Descendants bearing the Smalley name soon found a congenial home with the Baptists of Rhode Island, and from that colony of liberty loving people came the founder of the New Jer- sey branch of the family. His descendants have always held the views believed and practiced by the Baptists, and the family gave to this de- nomination one of the most useful ministers of the gospel that ever labored in New Jersey, the Rev. Henry Smalley, of blessed memory.


(1) John Smalley, the first person of that name to come to the New World, was in Lon- don, in 1631, and in the following year came over to America in the vessel "Francis & James," in company with many of the Massa- chusetts Bay Colony. He settled on Cape Cod, where he married, about 1640, and had four children who lived to mature years. From Massachusetts the parents with the two sons,

both of age, moved first to Rhode Island, and from there to Piscataway, Middlesex county, New Jersey, where they were among the earli- est pioneer freeholders of this New Jersey settlement. His two daughters, Hannah and Mary, were at this time married and settled in New England. After obtaining his first grant, upon his arrival in Piscataway, he had a survey of his farm made in 1677, and in 1685 took up another warrant of land. At the time the province was temporarily recaptured by the Dutch in 1673-74, John Smalley was appointed by them a magistrate. In 1675 he was commissioned a justice of the peace, and at the same time appointed associate justice of the court of sessions, which position he filled for several years. He died in 1692 and his wife died about a year later. His two sons were John, Jr., referred to below, and Isaac, born December 1I, 1647, married twice after moving to New Jersey. He was for several years a member of the colonial assembly, town clerk of Piscataway, and held many other offices of public confidence and trust until his death in 1725.


(II) John (2), son of John (1) Smalley, had a farm surveyed for him in 1675, and about ten years afterward he took up an addi- tional one hundred acres. In 1683 he came into possession of another large lot of one hundred acres, situated on Ambrose brook, near the present New Market, which he gave to his son, John, who in turn left it at his death to his son Andrew. John Smalley, Jr., served in many of the local township appointments, and was a constituent member in the old Pis- cataway Baptist Church, publically organized between 1686 and 1689. His will was made September 13. 1731, and duly recorded in 1733, a short time after his death. John Smalley, Jr., married in Piscataway, October 18. 1676, Lydia, daughter of John Martin, another of the early founders of that settle- ment. Among his children were Jonathan, re- ferred to below ; Elisha, married Mary Dun- ham; Phebe, married Ephraim Dunham.


(III) Jonathan, eldest child of John (2) and Lydia (Martin) Smalley, was born in Piscataway, April 10, 1683, died some time after 1763, his will being dated July 27 of that year. He was the first of this name on the roll of the Seventh Day Baptist Church of Piscataway. So strict and conscientious a Sab- batharian was he that when he leased part of his farm in 1734 to parties who were to quarry for minerals, he stipulated in the contract that no work or labor should be performed upon


the premises on the seventh day of the week, during the term of the twenty-one year lease. He accumulated a large property for colonial times, both real and personal, which he divided by will among his children. About 1707 Jona- than Smalley married Sarah, eldest child of John and Sarah Fitz-Randolph. This was the first marriage on record between these two families, subsequent generations of those bear - ing these surnames seem to have had a special affinity for one another, and within the next three years more than a dozen marriages oc- curred between them. The Fitz-Randolphs and Smalleys had both emigrated from their native land and settled in their Cape Cod Colony within a year or two of each other, and no longer a period had intervened between their final settlements in Piscataway, New Jer sey. The homesteads and outlined plantations of the sons of these pioneers were in close proximity, and around them dwelled the Bon- hams, Dunns, Dunhams, Martins and others. Most of these families were intimately related by marriage, but became greatly estranged by religion. The occasion was the existence in Piscataway of two Baptist churches, one wor- shipping on Sunday, the other observing Sat- urday. The former was organized between 1686 and 1689, and the latter between 1705 and 1707. It is a noticeable coincident also that in the union of these families such a large num- ber became actively identified with the newer of the religious interests. Not only was Jona- than Smalley the first of the name on the roll of the Seventh Day Baptist, but his wife was the earliest recorded in the list of females, having united with the church before her mar- riage. Most of Jonathan Smalley's ten chil- dren became identified with the same church on reaching adult years, and especially active in these relations were his sons, John and Jon- athan, Jr. His youngest son, Andrew, referred to below, however, departed from his father's religious preferences.


(IV) Andrew, youngest son of Jonathan and Sarah (Fitz-Randolph) Smalley, was born in Piscataway, December 20, 1726. In his will his father left him all his "Lands and salt meadows." After his marriage he set up housekeeping at Harris Lane, the district lying near Bound Brook, Somerset county, New Jersey. February 26, 1746, Andrew Smalley was married by the Rev. Jonathan Dunham, the Seventh Day Baptist minister at that time in Piscataway, to Agnes, born May 8, 1728, daughter of David and Elsie Coriell. Among the nine children born to them were Abraham,

born May 2, 1748, remained in the old home- stead in Ambrose Brook, married Catharine Emans and reared a large family. John, re- ferred to below. Henry. David, born April 5, 1766; married Margaret Compton and had four children.


(V) John, son of Andrew and Agnes (Cori- ell) Smalley, was born in Piscataway. He married Mary Langstaff and among their chil- dren was Henry, referred to below.


(VI) Henry, son of John and Mary ( Lang- staff ) Smalley, after graduating from Prince- ton College entered the Baptist ministry, and for fifty years was well known as one of the most efficient and faithful servants of that de- nomination, serving as pastor at Cohansey Bap- tist church. By his wife, Hannah ( Fox) Smal- ley, of Piscataway, he had three children : John, William Fitz-Randolph, Henry Langstaff, re- ferred to below.


(VII) Henry Langstaff, youngest child of the Rev. Henry and Hannah (Fox) Smalley. was born in Bowentown, New Jersey, 1807. His life was spent in farming and also in con- ducting a milling business. He died in 1852. He married Tabitha Bacon, born at Roads- town, New Jersey, 1798, daughter of Isaac and Phebe (Bacon) Mulford. Children: I. James H., died at seventy-nine years of age. 2. Isaac Mulford, referred to below. 3. Will- iam Fox, still living. 4. Mary Budd, deceased. 5. John, still living.


(VIII) Isaac Mulford, second child and son of Henry Langstaff and Tabitha Bacon ( Mul- ford) Smalley, was born at Bowentown, New Jersey, May 8, 1830, and is now living at Bridgeton, New Jersey. He attended the pub- lic schools of his native town, and for a num- ber of years after leaving school was engaged in the nursery business. He then for a time conducted a grist mill, in which occupation he was most successful. In 1883 he was elected a member of the New Jersey state assembly, and was again chosen to the same position in 1888. For a time he was a member of the board of chosen freeholders of Stoe Creek township, Roadstown, in which he lived for thirty-seven years as farmer and nurseryman. In politics Mr. Smalley is and has all his life been a Democrat. For five years he was one of the trustees of Rutgers College. He has for many years given his attention to financial rather than agricultural and industrial pursuits. and is one of the leading and most influential men in that field in Bridgeton. He has for a long time been a director in the Bridgeton Na- tional Bank, and for many years was a director


in the Mutual Life Insurance Company of Bridgeton. In 1901 he was chosen by his fellow directors to be the president of this latter institution, and this office he still holds.


Isaac Mulford Smalley married, December 21, 1864, Cornelia, daughter of Abram Cannon. Children: 1. James Henry, married Alice Ware, born at St. Louis, Missouri; children : Minerva, Jennie and Herbert. 2. Mary Budd, married George Allen, of Chester, Delaware ; children : Charles, Isaac Smalley, Maxwell and Beatrice Allen. 3. Isaac Cannon, married Lydia Davis ; children: Heber B. and Isaac M. 4. Howard Malcolm, married Elizabeth Abbott ; child, Caroline. 5. Fannie, unmarried.


CUNNINGHAM The Cunninghams are a Scotch family, although many of the numerous


immigrants of the surname who came to Amer- ica previous to the beginning of the eighteenth century were descended from ancestors who had lived in Ireland perhaps for many genera- tions; but from whatever country the immi- grant Cunninghams may have sailed in their quest of new homes on this side of the Atlantic ocean, the fact remains that probably very nearly all of them came of the ancient Cunnungham clan which was seated in Ayrshire, Scotland, as early as A. D. 1200. However, let us glance briefly at some of the characters and traditions of the clan and observe from what elements the Cunninghams have grown. First it may be said with exact truth that the Cunninghams of Ayrshire possess the earldom of Carrick and Glencairn as well as the lordship of Cun- ninghame, and that from the Ayrshire clan have descended all of the known branches of the family in Scotland, England and Ireland. According to tradition the first Cunningham settlers in Ireland were two of six brothers who won distinction under James of Scotland, after- ward James I. of England. The records show that among the first grantees of this monarch in Ireland were several of the name of Cun- ningham. In the precinct of Portlough, coun- ty Donegal, John Cunningham, of Crawfield. Ayrshire, Scotland, received a grant of one thousand acres of land in 1610, and at the same time James Cunningham, Laird of Glan- garnoche, Ayrshire, had two grants in the same precinct aggregating three thousand acres, while Cuthbert Cunningham, of Glangarnoche, had a thousand acre grant, and Alexander Cunningham, of Powton, gentleman, of Sorbie, Wigtonshire, Scotland, had a thousand acres granted him in the precinct of Boylagh county

Donegal. It would be very difficult and per- haps well nigh impossible to trace a direct con- nection from the particular Cunningham family here to be treated back to any one of the brothers and other Cunninghams mentioned ; nor is the matter one of great importance.


(I) John Cunningham, the immigrant, came from the north of Ireland, 1818, and settled in north New Jersey. Among his children was John H., see forward.


(II) John H., son of John Cunningham, was born in the north of Ireland, February 28, 1815, died December 2, 1879. He came to the United States with his parents (who were of the Presbyterian faith) when three years old. He married, May 19, 1842, Mar- garet Ackerman, of Paramus, New Jersey, born January 12, 1825, died April 12, 1896. Among his children was Robert Hudson, see forward.


(III) Robert Hudson, son of John H. and Margaret ( Ackerman) Cunningham, was born in Paterson, New Jersey, September 23, 1855, and was prominently identified with the busi- ness life of that city for a period of more than thirty-five years. His life was spent there and he received his education in the public schools of the city. In 1873, when only eighteen years old, he was employed in the selling department of the firm of Pelgram & Meyer, silk manu- facturers of Paterson, with business offices in New York. For the next twenty-five years he was in the employ of that house and during that time came to be recognized as one of the best salesmen in the silk trade in the country. At the end of that period he severed his con- nection with Pelgram & Meyer to become sell- ing agent for Fleitman & Company, of New York, one of the largest commission silk houses in America. He retired from active business about two years before his death, March 9, 1908. He himself was looked upon as one of the successful business men of Pater- son and New York City, with a large acquaint- ance in trade circles and an enviable standing in military and fraternal circles. For many years he was a member of the famous Pater- son Life Guards, and he also held member- ship in the North Jersey Auto Club and the Hamilton Club, of Paterson. He married, June 28, 1883, Camilla Jane, born November 18, 1861, daughter of Augustus and Christi- anna Miller, of New York City. Children : Robert Hudson, see forward. Charles Fred- erick, born June 17, 1889.
