(III) William (3), son of William (2) and Elizabeth (Deane) Twining, born January 25, 1654; died January 23, 1734. Very little is known about him. He seems to have remained behind when his father and one brother re- moved to Pennsylvania, and to have devoted the eighty years of his life to the tilling of his land, in which he was eminently successful. He was also a mechanic. His descendants. while not so numerous as those of his brother Stephen, are characterized as a people of note, refinement, and success in life. Many of them have filled the higher avenues of life. He married, March 21, 1689, Ruth, born 1668, died after 1735, daughter of John and Rutlı (Snow) Cole, a Mayflower descendant through a line of prominent Cape Cod families. Chil- dren: I. Elizabeth, born August 25, 1690; married Joseph Merrick, Jr. 2. Thankful, January II, 1697 ; died August 28, 1779; mar- ried, April, 1719, Jonathan Mayo; twelve chil- Iren. 3. Ruth, August 27, 1699 ; married, Oc- tober, 1719, Joshua Higgins, Jr. ; eleven chil- dren. 4. Hannah, April 2, 1702; married.

Mercy, Feb- ruary 20, 1708; married David Higgins; six children.
(IV) William (4), son of William (3) and Ruth (Cole) Twining, born September 2, 1704, died November 17, 1769, becoming, according to tradition, a practitioner of law in Orleans. His will was made and probated the year of his death. He married Apphia Lewis, Febru- ary 21, 1728, and she was living in 1776. Chil- dren: I. Abigail, born December 28, 1730; died before 1769; married Joseph Rogers ; one daughter. 2. Thomas, referred to below. 3. Ruth, December 30, 1736; died before 1769.

(V) Thomas, son of William (4) and Ap- phia (Lewis) Twining, was born July 5, 1733, and died April 23, 1816. That he was a man of more than ordinary prominence and ability is fully borne out by the Orleans church and town records. Fifty years of his life were spent in the callings of farmer and carpenter. In 1758 he served as corporal in the French and Indian wars. In 1783 he sold his home- stead located just south of the present Uni- versity Church to Simeon Higgins, and with his brother Elijah removed to Tolland, later called Grandille, Massachusetts, where they purchased an extensive tract of land upon which their remaining days were spent. In 1797 the Tolland Congregational Church was organized, and Thomas Twining was chosen its first deacon. The house which he built at Tolland is still standing in good condition and shows that Deacon Twining was a good car- penter and selected the most durable material out of his forests. As late as 1793 he sold his remaining salt water and meadow lands on Pleasant Bay. The gravestones of himself and his brother Elijah are still standing in the Twining cemetery. He married (first) Alice Mayo, January 17, 1766, (second) Anna, daughter of Isaac Cole, October 24, 1765, who was born December 3, 1740, died October 12, 1828. It is traditionally claimed that she was a Doane. Children, all by second wife: I. Stephen, referred to below. 2. William, born December 14, 1769; died November 22, 1842; lived in his father's house at Tolland ; married Rebecca Brown; ten children. 3.

Anna, 1777, December 23, 1861, married Colonel Joseph Wolcott.
(VI) Stephen, son of Thomas and Anna (Cole) Twining, was born September 28, 1767, and died December 18, 1832. He graduated from Yale University in 1795, and for many years was steward and treasurer of the col- lege. His profession was that of a lawyer. From 1809 to 1832 he was a deacon of the First Congregational Church of New Haven. The following anecdote is related of him: "After Stephen, who was much more disposed to work with his head then with his hands, went to Yale College, the old man and his son
William were ploughing with a yoke of oxen, one of which was rather inclined to reflection than to action. The old man, quite out of pa- tience, finally exclaimed, 'What can we do with that lazy off ox?' 'Send him to college,' was the prompt reply." His tombstone in the New Haven cemetery bears the inscription, "He feared God." His descendants, though not a numerous body, have excelled in the higher avocations and the leading professions. Octo- ber 2, 1800, Stephen Twining married Almira, daughter of Alexander and Margaret Catlin, who was born in Litchfield, Connecticut, Au- gust 24, 1777, and died in New Haven, May 30, 1846. Children: I. Alexander Catlin, re- ferred to below. 2. William, born December 9, 1805; died June 5, 1844; of him and his brother Alexander Catlin it is said they were men of "strong and cultured minds, and of perfectly balanced characters. They were always physically vigorous." William Twin- ing married Margaret Eliza, daughter of Horace and Catharine (Thorn) Johnson ; eight children. 3. Mary Pierce, July 26, 1809, to March 16, 1879; "a man of great energy, op- portunity, and executive ability, an active leader in New Haven charitable societies. 4. Helen Almira, April 4, 1812; married Sea- grove W. Magill ; one child. 5. Julia Webster, February II, 1814, July 8, 1893. 6. Ann Lor- ing, November 19, 1816, to February 21, 1897 ; married James Hadler; she was mother of Arthur Twining Hadler, president of Yale University. 7. Almira, died young.
(VII) Alexander Catlin, son of Stephen and Almira (Catlin) Twining, was born in New Haven, Connecticut, July 5, 1801, and died November 22, 1884. He graduated from Yale University in 1820. He was a civil engineer, and a classmate of President Woolsey and Rev. Leonard Bacon, D. D., and an asso- ciate of Professors Silliman and Olmsted in scientific observation. Yale University con- ferred on him the degree of LL. D .; from 1856 to 1882 he was a deacon in the first Con- gregational Church. When he died the New York Independent said of him: "The death of Professor A. C. Twining ends a long life of varied and brilliant achievements, and which was even richer and more brilliant in richness and fruitfulness of christian character. Professor Twining is known among astron- omers as the author of the 'Cosmic Theory of the Meteors.' As a civil engineer he was en- gaged as chief or controlling engineer of every line running out of New Haven ; on the north- east roads through Vermont; on the Lake

Shore, the Cleveland, Columbus, Pittsburgh, and various roads out of Chicago, including the Rock Island and old Milwaukee line. As an inventor he pioneered to a successful result the industrial manufacture of artificial ice. For nine years he served as professor of mathe- matics and astronoiny in Middlebury school, and while then residing in Vermont was active in the temperance reform, into which he enter- ed with energy as chairman of the State Tem- perence Committee. In political matters he took deep interest as one of the promoters of the original movement which issued in the foundation of the Republican party. He was one of the projectors of the famous 'Connecti- cut' letter to President Buchanan. He was deeply interested in constitutional questions, and reached the highest point in his lectures on the Constitution of the United States in Yale Law School. In questions of theology and philosophy he was at home, and discussed them with bold figure and subtle ingenuity to his friends. The beauty of his face and head and striking and winning courtesy of his man- ner, the simplicity of his christian character, made a lasting impression, and while few that met him even casually have failed to notice that to him it was given to invite and receive the spiritual confidence of others and to give them solid and permanent assistance, and where there are few to attempt it, and still fewer to succeed."
March 2, 1829, Alexander Caplin Twining married Harriet Kinsley, of West Point, New York, who died in 1871. Children: I. Kins- ley, referred to below. 2. Harriet Anna, born December 27, 1833, died February 23, 1896. 3. Theodore Woolsey, September 4, 1835, to August 14, 1864; graduate of Yale, academic 1859, law 1862; paymaster U. S.

(VIII) Kinsley, eldest child of Alexander Catlin and Harrict (Kinsley) Twining, was born at West Point, New York, July 18, 1832. He graduated from Yale University in the
class of 1853, and was prepared for the min- istry at Andover Theological Seminary, from which he graduated in 1856. He then became licensed as a Congregational minister, and from 1859 to 1876 was a clergyman of that denomi- nation. For two years after this he traveled abroad, and on his return to this country in 1878 he became the literary editor of the New York Independent, which position he retained until 1898, when he undertook the editorship of the Evangelist. Yale University gave him the degree of D. D., and Hamilton College that of L. H. D. He died in the fall of 1901. Dr. Twining was a man of remarkable gifts, both intellectual and spiritual, and the range of his learning was exceedingly wide. On all ques- tions of an educational, philosophical, theolog- ical and sociological character, he had positive convictions and well developed ideas for prac- tical reform. He was a man who won and re- tained strong friendship among a wide circle of acquaintances, and his social gifts were proverbial. June 3, 1861, he married (first) Mary K. Plunkett, who died in 1864, without issuc ; (second), August 25, 1870, Mary Ellen, born at Clinton, New York, March 30, 1844, (laughter of Amos Delos Gridley. Children : I.

(IX) Kinsley (2), only son of Kinsley ( 1) and Mary Ellen (Gridley) Twining, was born in Providence, Rhode Island, September 9, 1879, and is now living in Morristown, New Jersey. He was prepared for college at the Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts, and entering Yale University, graduated there- from in the class of 1901. He studied law in Cornell University Law School and the Yale University Law School, after which he enter- ed the law office of Messrs. Lindabury, Depue & Faulks, in Newark, where he studied for eighteen months longer, and was admitted to the New Jersey bar in November, 1905. Soon after this he formed a legal co-partnership which continued for two and one-half years, and was succeeded by his present alliance as a member of the firm of Lindabury, Depue & Faulks. In politics Mr. Twining is a Repub- lican. For some time he has been one of the alderman of Morristown, and is now serving his second term in that office. He is a member

of the Alpha Delta Phi fraternity, the Wolf's Head, and the Phi Delta Phi fraternity; the Morristown Field Club; the Yale Club; the Morristown Club, and the Morris County Golf Club. He is a member of the First Presby- terian Church of Morristown.
WARD The family here made the subject of consideration is that which is descended from one of five immi- grant brothers-Ichabod, Pelatiah, Ebenezer, John and Nathan Ward-who in an early day sailed to America and were among the early but not the earliest planters in New England. It is with the family and descendants of Pelatiah Ward that we have particularly to deal in this narrative.
(I) Pelatiah Ward. immigrant, was born December 16, 1689, and on coming to this country with his four brothers settled in the colony of Massachusetts Bay, where his subse . quent life was spent and where he died. He married at Killingworth, Connecticut, Decem- ber 20, 1725, Jerusha Kelsey, and had children.
(II) Captain Ichabod, son of Pelatiah and Jerusha (Kelsey) Ward, was born in Killing- worth, Connecticut, 1743, died in Dover, Dutchess county, New York, December 20, 1822. He is understood to have lived at one time in Massachusetts and subsequently re- moved to Rhode Island. Still later he removed to New York state and took up his residence in Dutchess county, where he was a substantial farmer. During the revolution he was captain of a company in the Third Regiment of Dutch- ess county militia, of which regiment Colonel John Field and Colonel Andrew Morehouse were commanding officers. His wife was Me- hitable Marcy, daughter of Ebenezer and Mar- tha (Nicholson) Marcy, of Dover, Dutchess county. (See Marcy, II). Children : I. Griffin, married and had four children: John, married a daughter of Jacob Carhart ; Spencer, married Patty Soule; Annie, married a Tra- vers ; and Mehitable, married William Lee. 2. Pelatiah, born 1770, died November 2, 1830; lived in Dover, New York, and was a farmer and drover ; married, February 27, 1791, Annie Soule, born September 24, 1774, died July 20, 1840, daughter of Ichabod Soule, and by her had five children: Henry, married Almeda Beardsley; Ira; Edward P .; Griffin; Sarah, married Myron Preston. 3. Ichabod, a farmer ; married Rachel Hurd, and had one son, Myron. 4. Joseph, a farmer ; married Eliza Martin, and had children : Phebe Marilla, married Reuben Chapman; Newton and Alfred, twins; Eliza,
married a Flower; Sallie, married a Sweet ; and Hetty, married a Pool. 5. Ebenezer. a farmer ; married Abba Sheldon, daughter of Agrippa Sheldon, and by her had children : Waldo, Amanda, Lodesca, Ebenezer, Polly, Henry and Oneida. 6. John, a farmer ; mar- ried Cynthia Cyher, and had one son, Griffin. 7. Jerusha, married Reuben Worcester and had children : Peter, Ichabod, William, Oliver and Hannah Worcester. 8. Mehitable, married Edmund Varney, a farmer, and had children: Alfred, John, Milton, Ann, Almeda, Clarinda and Frances Varney. 9. Polly, married Daniel Cutler, a farmer, and had children: John, Fanny, Elma, Jane, George, Ward and Amor Cutler.
(III) One of the sons of Captain Ichabod and Mehitable (Marcy) Ward constitutes the third generation of the family in the line here considered, but the somewhat meagre records give us no clear light as to which of them was father of the John M. Ward mentioned in the next paragraph.
(IV) John M., grandson of Captain Icha- bod and Mehitable (Marcy) Ward, was born in Dover, Dutchess county, New York, and was one of the several Wards who were among the early settlers in the Wyoming valley in Pennsylvania, in what then was Luzerne coun- ty but now is Wyoming county. He lived at Tunkhannock and was one of the most enter- prising men of that region, having engaged in canal construction and other extensive opera- tions, all of which brought him large wealth for his time. The period of his life is not known, and one account has it that he married a daughter of Governor William Larned Marcy, of New York, and by her had sons John, Charles, Walsingham Griffin (born Dover Plain, Dutchess county, New York), and Zebulon Marcy, and daughters Cynthia. Mary and Cleopatra.
(V) Captain and Judge Zebulon Marcy Ward, son of John M. and (Marcy) Ward, was born in Tunkhannock, Wyoming county, Pennsylvania, February 17, 1837, died at Paterson, New Jersey, April 17, 1904. After receiving his early education in public schools he went to Scranton, Pennsylvania, and studied law under the instruction of his elder brother, Judge Walsingham Griffin Ward. He was ad- mitted to the bar in Luzerne county, August 17, 1863, and afterward for some time prac- ticed in partnership with his brother. During the civil war he took a loyal and active part in raising Company E, Eleventh Pennsylvania Infantry, was chosen and commissioned its

captain and remained in service for three years, during the period of his enlistment. After the war he returned to Scranton and resumed law practice, but in the course of the next few years his health became so greatly impaired that on the advice of his physician he was induced to change his place of residence from Scranton to Paterson, in this state. In the latter city he occupied a position of enviable prominence in professional and social circles, and while he never courted public office he served several years as counsel to the board of chosen freeholders of Passaic county and also for several years held the office of county surrogate. Captain Ward married Kate E., daughter of John Taylor Smith, a descendant of the old Smith family who once owned the historic mansion house near Haverstraw, New York, in which Andre and Arnold held their secret treasonable conferences. Captain and Mrs. Ward had two children, Lou E., born March 22, 1878, wife of Edmund G. Stalter, of Paterson, and John M. B. Ward, also of Paterson.
(VI) John Marcy Burnoise, son of Captain Zebulon Marcy and Kate E. (Smith) Ward, was born in Paterson, New Jersey, December 16, 1880. He acquired his earlier literary education in private schools in that city, and afterward took a college preparatory course in New York and then entered Columbia Col- lege, where he was a student for some time, but because of a physical injury he was com- pelled to abandon the idea of completing his collegiate education. He then matriculated at the New York Law School, completed the course of that institution, and in 1901 was ad- mitted to practice in the courts of this state ; in 1906 he was admitted member of the su- preme court of the United States. Having come to the bar, Mr. Ward began his pro- fessional career in Paterson in partnership with his father, which relation was maintained until Captain Ward's death. Soon afterward he became law partner with Peter J. Mc- Ginnis, and since that time he has been en- gaged in active and general practice and has attained an enviable standing at the bar of the courts and also in all professional circles in Passaic county. His practice includes both civil and criminal cases, and on the criminal side of the courts he has been retained as coun- sel in some of the most important cases pre- sented to the attention of the courts in recent years. He was one of the active counsel for the prisoner in the famous Mustol murder trial and also at the trial of Luigi Galleani, the
noted anarchist. This last case (the Mustol) was more remarkable from the fact that it marked the second occasion in the history of Passaic county criminal trials in which the attorney general of the state was called to assist in the prosecution of the accused crimi- nal. Mr. Ward is a Mason, member of Benev- olent Lodge, No. 45, Free and Accepted Masons ; Court Blackstone Order of Foresters of America, Council Lafayette, Royal Ar- canum, of Paterson; the Oritani Field Club. the North Jersey Country Club, and of the Hackensack Golf Club. On May 14, 1902, he married Clara V. Vander Burgh, of Hacken- sack, born March 30, 1881, daughter of Harry Sargeant and Cora (Vander Bick) Vander Burgh, and has one child, John Zebulon Marcy Ward, born September 22, 1903
(The Marcy Line).
De Marcy, or simply Marcy, is a surname now quite common in France and in its col- onies. It appears to have come into Normandy with Rollo, A. D., 912; thence it went into England with William the Conqueror, A. D., 1068, and became very common in Cheshire, where it is now quite generally written as Massey or Massie. As Massey the name is frequently found in the English and Irish peer- age. As evidence that the name in its present form was known early in England it may be said that in "The Patents of King John," A. D. 1208, there is found the name of Radus de Marcy.
There are two families of the Marcy sur- name in this country. One of these families is descended from John Marcy, of whom the first notice appears in Elliot's church record in Roxbury, Massachusetts, as follows: "John Marcy took the Covenant March 7, 1685." Among his descendants are the late secretary of state and governor of New York, William Larned Marcy, of whom mention is made in a later part of this narrative; also General Randolph B. Marcy and Dr. Erastus E. Marcy so well known to our history and literature. The other family is represented by Hon. Daniel Marcy, of Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and of Peter Marcy, of New Orleans, and his de- scendants. The father of the late Daniel and Peter Marcy came to this country a few years previous to 1800, from the island of Marie Galante, West Indies; their grandfather went to that island from France.
(1) John Marcy was son of the high sheriff of Limerick, Ireland. He was born about the year 1662, joined Elliot's church in Roxbury

in 1685, and in April, 1686, with several others, took possession of Quatosell ( Woodstock, Connecticut ), granted in 1663 by the colony of Massachusetts to the town of Roxbury. He married Sarah Hadlock, daughter of James and Sarah (Draper ) Hadlock, of Rox- bury. She was born December 16, 1670, and died May 9, 1743. John Marcy died Decem- ber 23, 1724, aged sixty-two years. Children : I. Anna, born Roxbury, October 11, 1687. 2. John, November 17, 1689. 3. James, February 26, 1691. 4. Edward, June 28, 1695. 5. Jo- seph, September 18, 1697. 6. Benjamin, March II, 1699. 7.

(II) Colonel Moses, son of John and Sarah (Hadlock) Marcy, was born April 18, 1702, died October 9, 1779, "leaving an honorable name, a large estate, and a numerous family." In 1732 he removed to Sturbridge, Massachu- setts, where he became "the principal man in the colony." He was the first incumbent of the office of justice of the peace, the first representative from that town to the general court, and was moderator of seventy town meetings. During the French and Indian wars he fitted out soldiers for the army at his own expense, but afterward was remunerated by the town. In 1752, at a meeting of the church to compromise with the "separatists," Moses Marcy was moderator, and the historian speaks of the "excellent spirit displayed by the ex- cellent and venerable moderator." In 1723 he married Prudence Morris, and according to the best information obtainable, although the records are quite imperfect, they are believed to have had eight children: 1. Mary, married Westbrook Remington. 2. Martha, married Gershom Plympton. 3. Miriam, married Tim- othy Newell. 4. Daniel, married Hannah Morris. 5. Mehitable, married Jonathan Newell. 6. Martha, married Jared Freeman. 7. Jedediah, see forward. 8. Elijah, married Stacy.
(II) Ebenezer, son of John and Sarah ( Hadlock) Marcy, was born in Woodstock, Connecticut, June 6, 1709, died in Dover, Dutchess county, New York, December 10, 1808.
