(The McCulloch Line).
George Perrott McCulloch, born at Bombay, December 15, 1775, was a descendant of the McCullochs of Galloway, Scotland. His grand- father John was proprietor of Barholm Castle. the estate having belonged to the family since 1340. His father, William, was a younger son, who early in life entered the military service of the East India Company, and at the age of forty attained the rank of major of the Fif- teenth Sepoys. While in command of this battalion and assisted by the "Campbells," he gained the notable victory at Annantapore, over Hyat Saib, during the early part of 1783. Subsequently he and the greater part of his command were treacherously poisoned by Tippo Saib.
The son, having lost both his parents, was sent to Edinburgh through the instrumentality of George Perrott, after whom he was named. and who was one of Warren Hastings's council. There he received a most liberal education at the university, being the master of five lan- guages. At the age of twenty-five we find him a partner of Francis Law, and engaged in large financial and diplomatic affairs with the East India Company. On December 26, 1801, he was sent to Madrid to conduct certain deli- cate and important negotiations. This and previous trips to Paris and Holland required an intricate knowledge of the languages of the countries, and at one time he had to pass through Napoleon's army as a German. Upon one of these tours he became acquainted with Count de Lauriston, the brother of his partner, and thus formed an intimacy with the leading men of these stirring times. The Laws were of Scottish descent, and his father was asso- ciated with Francis Law, Sr., in India.
His health being impaired, he came to Amer .. ica in the spring of 1806, with his wife and two children, and bought, on May 24, 1808, the property belonging to Ebenezer Stiles, on Morris Plains, New Jersey. This he sold in 1811, and it afterwards passed into the hands of the Burnham family. He had previously pur- chased, on April 10, 1810, from Gen. John Doughty, the estate at Morristown known as. McCulloch Hall, still occupied by his descend- ants. A few years after he settled in Morris- town he lost a large part of the property he brought from England, and in 1814 set about to regain his losses by establishing a boys' school, which he conducted with great success for about fifteen years. Among the lists of the scholars are found those of DeKay, Cruger, Renwick, Weeks, and other New York fam- ilies. On December 20, 1820, he organized the Morris County Agricultural Society, and was its first president. About this time, while fish- ing at Lake Hopatcong, he conceived the idea of joining the Delaware and Hudson by a canal. He was thus the projector of the Morris canal and devoted himself to it with an energy and ability that are attested by the whole early history of the enterprise. He enlisted the interest of DeWitt Clinton, Prof. Renwick, of Columbia College, and extorted from John C. Calhoun, secretary of war, the services of such persons as General Barnard and Colonel Tot- ten ; and made the mountain climbing feasible by recommending the use of Robert Fulton's "inclined planes." His persistence through the press as to the necessity of cheap transporta-

tion for the newly found anthracite coal, in- duced the legislature to pass, on November 15, 1822, a bill incorporating the Morris Canal and Banking Company, Mr. McCulloch being ap- pointed senior member of the board. Finding that the canal was being managed more for the benefit of speculators than for the people, he began a fight against the "banking" clique, en- listing the services of a young lawyer, Jacob W. Miller (who married his only daughter on November 7, 1825), and together they fought the cause of the people, gaining a victory over S. J. Southard, president of the Canal Com- pany. Both Miller and Southard were after- wards in the United States senate together, the latter having been the school teacher of the former. At the age of fifty Mr. McCulloch decided to abandon any ideas of public life except as through his pen and example as a private citizen he could influence it for good in both capacities. He rendered great service to his state and country, contributing many philo- sophical, religious and political articles to the press, while his home was the center of social life in a community which numbered at that time some interesting people. A few random abstracts from letters in McCulloch Hall may be of interest as showing side lights on the times. "To-day, July 14, 1824, the town is agog with Lafayette here; Ford making a speech ;" "Miller gaudy in a military uniform.'
"The Thebauds ( 1825) have bought the Meeker farm at Bottle Hill." A year before Boisaubin ( Père ) was to be married to Madame Duberc- can, and in 1829 Amedée Boisaubin became en- gaged to Miss Thebaud, his old grandfather having died in the West Indies and left $700,- 000. Whether this fact occurred at a "rout" at Orange where all the North Jersey swells went, returning by coach in the early morning, is not mentioned, nor what people drank at the ball, although there was plenty of champagne" when Rev. Benjamin Holmes married Jane Ogden, October 31, 1829. Holmes was the first pastor of St. Peters, the corner-stone hav- ing been laid May 14, 1828. Episcopal serv- ices had previously been held in the school- room belonging to the old Scotch Presbyterian, his Church of England wife having got around her doting husband, whose religious views were broad even for these days, broad enough, in fact, to fight in the Palladium of Liberty the silly clamor against the Free Masons which raged through the country in 1828; while the whole land went wild for Greek freedom, Morristown was selling slaves on the Green, on March 10, 1828, the county paper advertising
the fact, together with a notice of the won- derful railroad drawn by horses, and a steam ferry from Pawlus Hook to Cortlandt street every fifteen minutes.
Mr. McCulloch occupied many honorary positions during his lifetime. Among them he was a member of the board of visitors to West Point in 1842. His residence in the various important states of Europe, his acquaintance with their language, and his just perception of their true national characteristic, gave to his judgment of foreign affairs an unusual value ; while his long residence in this country made him perfectly familiar with our general and local politics. Few lives in their earlier years displayed more romantic features than his. He possessed his full faculties to a ripe and mature age, dying at his Morristown home, aged eighty- two, on June 1, 1858. His only son, Francis Law McCulloch, a leading lawyer of Salem, died on June 18, 1859. His wife, Louisa Ed- wina Saunderson, a beautiful woman, and be- loved by all who knew her, lived until Decem- ber 30, 1863, aged seventy-eight.
The earliest Englishmen bear- HALSEY ing the name of Halsey lived in the extreme western end of Cornwall, between Penzance and Lands End, a portion of England so old in story that Phoenician navigators are believed to have visited it in order to obtain their supplies of tin. The solid foundations of the family were laid in the reign of Henry VIII., when, on the rectory of Great Gaddesden, county Hertford, coming to the Crown, it was that granted by that monarch to William Halsey, alias Cham- ber. Since that time the estate has been con- tinued in the family, and was a few years ago in the possession of Thomas Frederick Halsey, Esq., M. P., whose ancestors have lived thereon for over three hundred and fifty years.

(V) Thomas (first in the American line), son of Robert and Dorothy (Downes) Halsey, was born in Great Gaddesden, January 2, 1591- 92, and died in Southampton, Long Island, Au- gust 27, 1678. He became a mercer in Lon- don, and August 10, 1621, was living at Naples, Italy, from which place he wrote to his brother William a letter which has been preserved that gives a graphic account of the conditions of travelling in those days. In 1637 he is found at Lynn, Massachusetts, owning one hundred acres of land, and being a resident of the town during the stirring epoch of the first synod of Massachusetts, the trial and banishment of Ann Hutchinson, and the persecutions of John Wheelright, the Quakers and the witches, and it is possible that it was in consequence of these events that he determined to emigrate to Long Island, which he did with the founders of that town in 1640, becoming, it is said, "the richest man in the place." In 1648, when the site of the village was changed from Old Town street, to the present Main street, Thomas Halsey's residence was south of the old homestead of the late Francis W. Cook. Thomas Halsey became very influential in town affairs, and in 1664 was a delegate to the general court at Hartford, became active in establishing the jurisdiction of Connecticut over Southampton, and in 1669 was again the town's representa- tive. He was a man of independent spirit and strong will, and appears to have been very out- spoken. March 16, 1643, he was reprimanded by the town meeting for the manner of his speech to Daniel Howe, and on several occa- sions was fined for his outspokeness. When the Dutch recaptured New York and laid claim to Southampton, Thomas Halsey was vigorous in opposing them, although at that time one of the oldest citizens in the place. That he had the right to coat armor is proven by the fact that he is styled "gentleman" in the old records. November 1, 1776, he was named in the con- firmatory patent and December 6, 1686, his name is found in Gov. Dongan's patent. He married (first) Phebe - -, who was mur- dered by the Indians, either some from New
England who wished to excite a war in the Southampton settlement, or by some from Long Island at their instigation. He married (second) July 25, 1660, Ann, widow of Ed- ward Johnes. Children, all by first wife : Thomas, died about 1688, married Mary -; Isaac referred to below; Daniel, born about 1636, died 1682, married Jemima *-; Eliz- abeth, married Richard Howell.
(VI) Isaac, son of Thomas and Phebe Hal- sey, was born about 1628, and died January 21, I725. He was a man in middle life, and already a land owner at the time of his father's death, and in 1698, with several other Halseys, he is named in a list of the inhabitants of Southampton. In the Dongan patent, Decem - ber 6, 1686, he is named as one of the trustees of Southampton, and he lived on the west side of Main street near the north end of the town, and was buried in the old graveyard at South- ampton. He married Mary -. Children : I. Isaac, born 1664, died March 23, 1752 ; mar- ried Phebe, supposed to have been daughter of Edward Howell. 2. Joseph, referred to below. 3. Daniel, born about 1670; married, August 1710, Mary 4. Joshua, born 1674, died about 1734; married Martha, daugh- ter of Abraham Willman. 5. Thomas, died January, 1764, married and left issue. 6. Eliz- abeth, married Howell. 7. Samuel. 8.
Mary, married - Post. 9. Jemima, mar- ried John Larison. 10-1I. Possibly also Anna, born 1675, died July 3, 1714, and Ruth, born 1668, died December 9, 1770.
(VII) Joseph, son of Isaac and Mary Hal- sey, was born in Southampton, Long Island, in 1668, and died in Elizabethtown, New Jer- sey, April 17, 1725. He emigrated to New Jersey about 1664, and lived at Wheatsheaf Tavern, about midway between Elizabeth and Rahway. He married, probably, Elizabeth, daughter of Daniel and Jemima Halsey, his first cousin. Children : Daniel, died 1727,
married Abigail --; Joshua; Joseph, re- ferred to below ; Elizabeth; Anna; Timothy ; Isaac; Nathaniel. The last three were under age November 4, 1723, when their father wrote his will, and Elizabeth was married.
(VIII) General Joseph, son of Joseph and Elizabeth (Halsey) Halsey, was born about 1695, and died December 16, 1771, his will being dated June 1, 1765, and proved March 25, 1772, and he and his second wife are buried in the churchyard of the First Presbyterian Church at Elizabeth. He lived near the Wheat- sheaf Tavern, and married (first) Elizabeth, daughter of Stephen Haines, and (second)

(IX) Isaac, son of General Joseph Halsey, was born in 1741, and died November 24, 1788, and is buried at Scotch Plains. He owned much land between Westfield and Scotch Plains, and was a man of considerable means. He was an active patriot, and on the breaking out of the revolution became a member of the committee of safety, and paymaster and quartermaster of the Essex militia, and his de- scendants have many receipts and documents to show the requisitions made upon him for supplies and for furnishings to the patriot army. August 20, 1778, and also at several other times, he is requested by Joseph Lewis to furnish the money to pay the militia. In the New Jersey Journal of December 3, 1788, the following obituary of him was given: "On Monday, 24th of this instant, departed this life, in the forty-eighth year of his age, Mr. Isaac Halsey. On Wednesday following, his funeral was attended by a respectable con- course of people, and a discouse suitable to the occasion delivered from 2 Cor. vii:10 by Rev. Mr. Van Horn. In him the public have lost a respectable citizen and the church a liberal benefactor." He married, March 12, 1761, Re- becca, daughter, of Henry and Anna (Tulon) Garthwaite, whose grandfather, Maximillian Tulon, married a French emigré. She died January 17, 1788, in the forty-fifth year of her age, and in her obituary, published in the Newe Jersey Journal of January 30, 1788, it is said : "She passed through a lingering and tedious illness in which she exhibited an uncommon
degree of patience and fortitude, and at last met death with the humble resignation which Christianity inspires, having left the world without a groan. As to herself, her friends have the consolation to hope that she has ex- changed the trials and vanities of this life for a blessed and glorious immortality." Children: I. Mary, died in infancy. 2. Isaac, died Au- gust 9, 1780, aged nineteen. 3. Infant, died unnamed. 4. Henry, a lawyer, removed to Wilmington, North Carolina; married Sus- anna, daughter of William and Ann Ross. 5. Ichabod Benton, M. D., born about April 26, 1726, died May 3. 1818; married, November 19, 1789, Maria, or Patty, Williams. 6. Will- iam, born 1770, married Julia Hedden. 7. Jemima, died August 28, 1808. 8. Benjamin, said to have gone south. 9. Jacob Benton, referred to below. 10. Mary, or Polly, born 1783, died March 14, 1787.
(X) Jacob Benton, son of Isaac and Re- becca (Garthwaite) Halsey, died at Camptown, near Newark, New Jersey, June 24, 1815. He was the editor of the. Newark Gazette, and a publisher of books. He served as captain in war of 1812, and lived at the southwest corner of Washington Park and Broad street, and at one time in Rector street, and had his printing office in his yard. He married Mary, daughter of Captain Caleb and Elizabeth (Morris) Wheeler, of Newark, who lived in the stone mansion at the corner of Market and Mulberry streets. Many acts of kindness to our soldiers are related of both the Captain and his wife, and deserters from the British army were hid- den and fed by them. All of his nephews were soldiers and officers in the revolutionary war. After Jacob Benton Halsey's death his widow married (second) George, son of Captain Levi Holden, of the revolutionary army, by whom she had two children-George Holden, Jr .. and Otis Holden. Children of Jacob Benton and Mary ( Wheeler) Halsey: Caleb, born about 1800, died December 26, 1816; Sarah Pierson, born October 3, 1803, died Septem- ber 30, 1865, married, October 3, 1822, Ed- ward Lemuel Hedenberg, of Newtown, Long Island : Charles Henry, referred to below.
(XI) Rev. Charles Henry Halsey, D. D., son of Jacob Benton and Mary ( Wheeler ) Halsey, was born February 22, 1810, and died May 2. 1855. He studied law with his uncle William Halsey, with whom he lived after his father's death. After the death of his first wife he entered the General Theological Seminary in New York City, and was ordained to the min- istry of the Protestant Episcopal Church, and

became rector of Christ Church, New York. His death was the result of an accident, the following account of which is taken from the New York Herald of May 3, 1855. "A most sad casualty yesterday deprived us of one of our most exemplary clergymen, the Rev. Charles H. Halsey, rector of Christ Church. It appears that Mr. Halsey was visiting the new building now in progress adjoining the Everett House, on Union Square, for the pur- pose of inspecting parts of the workmanship, to which his attention had been drawn in view of the erection of a parsonage for his church. He was standing at the fourth floor of the edi- fice looking through the opening of the large central window, which are as yet without sashes. In approaching the sill of this window, unusually near the floor, he probably lost his balance and fell through to the ground, a dis- tance of some sixty feet. He never spoke after the fall, and survived the injury but half an hour. A very large circle of attached friends will join with the congregation which Mr. Hal- sey so worthily served, in deploring this disas- trous event which has deprived the community of one of its most faithful, laborious, and con- sistent ministers of the gospel. Mr. Halsey was in his forty-sixth year. He was a son-in- ' law of President King, of Columbia College. The funeral will be on May 5th, at Christ Church, from his late residence, 9 East 18th street, burial at Jamaica, Long Island."
He married (first ) Mary Boerum Smith, of New York, (second) September 18, 1838. Eliza Gracie, daughter of Charles and Eliza (Gracie) King, (see King). Children, one by first wife: I. Mary, died in infancy, January 18, 1842. 2. Eliza Gracie, born April 25, 1840; married Col. Charles Crook Suydam ( see Suy- (am). 3. Emily, born January 25, 1843 ; mar- ried Frederic William Vincent (see Vincent). 4. Esther King, born January 1, 1845; married J. O. Pinneo, M. D., of Elizabeth. 5. Charles Henry King, referred to below. 6. William Frederic, U. S. N., born April 11, 1853, mar- ried Annie Brewster, of Elizabeth; children : William Frederic, junior, born October 30, 1882, and Deborah Grant, born November 21, 1886, married Archibald Douglass Turnbull, who was born October 6, 1887.
(XII) Charles Henry King Halsey, son of Rev. Charles Henry and Eliza Gracie ( King) Halsey, was born in New York City, July 2. 1850, and is now living in Elizabeth, New Jersey. When he was five years old his mother placed him in Chirst Church School, in Elizabeth, after which he was sent to and graduated from
Dr. Pingry's School. In 1867 he entered the office of a broker in Wall street, New York City, where he remained until 1873, when he took a position in the National City Bank of New York. In 1882 he came to Elizabeth, New Jersey, as paying teller of the National State Bank of that city, a position he continued to hold until 1901, when he was chosen secre- tary and treasurer of the Union County Trust Company. Since 1905 he has been president of the same institution. In politics Mr. Halsey is a Republican, and from 1898 to 1891 he was alderman for the Sixth Ward of Elizabeth. He is a member of the New Jersey Historical Society ; of the Sons of the American Revolu- tion, through his great-grandfather, Rufus King: and of the Founders and Patriots of" America. He is also president of the Elizabeth Club, and a member of the Baltusrol Golf Club. For the last twenty years he has been senior warden of Trinity Protestant Episcopal Church in Elizabeth. He married, October 13, 1885, Helen Isabelle, daughter of Robert Gos- man and Lavina (Sausman) Kittle, and grand- daughter of Rev. Andrew Nicholas Kittle, one time Dominie of Red Hook, New York. Chil- dren: Alfred DeWitt, born July 5, 1888; Eliza Gracie, January 20, 1890 ; Helen Isabelle, March 17, 1892.
(The King Line).
(I) Rufus King, revolutionary statesman and patriot, was born in Scarborough, Maine, in 1755, and died in New York City, April 29, 1827. He was the eldest son of Richard King, a successful merchant of Scarborough. He graduated from Harvard University in 1777, and studied law with Chief Justice Theophilus Parsons, at Newburyport. While thus engaged he became aide to Gen. Glover whom he served in the unsuccessful Rhode Island expedition. He was admitted to the bar in 1780, and soon took high rank, taking his seat in 1783 in the general court of Massachusetts, to which he was several times re-elected, becoming also a member of the Continental congress in Decem- ber. 1784, and being re-elected thereto in March, 1785, and 1786, and introducing in 1785 a resolution prohibiting slavery in the North- west Territory, the substance of which was subsequently incorporated by his colleague, Nathan Dane, into the famous Ordinance of 1787. He took a prominent part in the pro- ceedings of the convention of 1787 which framed the Federal Constitution, and in the Massachusetts convention called to decide upon the adoption or rejection of that instru-

ment, he was instrumental in securing ratifi- cation. In 1788 he removed to New York City, where he was elected to the state assem- . bly in 1789, and in the same year elected also to the United States senate, where he at once took a high place as a leader of the Federalists. He was re-elected to the senate in 1795, and in 1796 he accepted from President Washington, who had previously offered him, a place in his cabinet as secretary of state, the responsible post of minister to England, and he distin- guished himself highly in the diplomatic serv- ice, in which he continued until 1803. In the year following his return he was mentioned as candidate for the senate and for governor of New York, and as the Federalist candidate for vice-president he received fourteen votes, and again in 1808, as the Federalist candidate for the same office, he received forty-seven votes. In 1813 and again in 1819 he received the honor of an election to the United States senate by a legislature a majority of which was Re- public. During the war with England he did not side with the extreme Federalists, but sup- ported the administration in such measures as seemed to him to be for the general good; nevertheless, in 1816, the few Federalist elec- troal votes for president were cast for him. In 1825-26 he was again minister to England. He married, in 1786, Mary, daughter of John Alsop, whose father was deputy from New York to the first Continental congress.
