MACK The Mack families in this country derived their origin from several different sources, one large branch coming from Scotland, another from England, a third from Ireland, and still a fourth, as in the case of the one at present under considera- tion, from Germany.


(I) Wolfgang Kups, born in Germany, in 1698, and dying there in 1769, is the founder of the present line. Among his children was Moses, referred to below.


(II) Moses, second son of Wolfgang Kups, was born in Germany, in 1728, and died there in 1803. In 1754 he married Getta Sender, in Mitwitz, and at the same time changed his name to Mack. Among their children was Alexander, referred to below.


(III) Alexander, fourth child of Moses and Getta (Sender) Mack, was born in Germany, March 26, 1774, and died there, October 31, 1847. In 1802 he married, in Bayersdorf, Sara Aub, born in 1775 and died in 1845. Among their children was Wolfgang, referred to below.


(IV) Wolfgang, third child of Alexander and Sara (Aub) Mack, was born in Germany, February 14, 1808, and died in 1884. He was a permanent physician, and his practice ex- tended over a period of fifty years. July 24, 1832, he married, in Bamberg, Germany, Louise Geldersheimer, born there July 8, 1808. Among their children was Adolph, referred to below.


(V) Adolph, third child of Wolfgang and Louise (Geldersheimer) Mack, was born in Germany, December 23, 1835, and died De- cember 25, 1909. He was educated in the University of Hamburg, and in 1851 came to America and located at Cincinnati, Ohio, where he engaged in the hardware business. About 1861 he went to New York City, where he became connected with an importing house, and subsequently became interested in the silk business. In 1878 he came to Raritan, Som- erset county, New Jersey, as secretary and treasurer of the Raritan Woolen Mills, also of the Somerset Manufacturing Company, which business had been established by his father-in-


law, Lewis Einstein. In politics Mr. Mack was a Republican and one of the most influ- ential men of his party in Somerset county. He was also one of the most popular, as is testified by the fact that he was twice elected presidential elector. He was a Mason, a mem- ber of the Royal Arch Masons, and an organizer of the Phoenix Club of Cincinnati. December 26, 1866, he married Therese, daughter of Lewis and Judith (Lewis) Einstein, who was born September 24, 1846, and died August 18, 1906. Children : Alexander W., referred to below ; Lewis C., referred to below; Clara L., 1874.


(VI) Alexander W., eldest child of Adolph and Therese ( Einstein) Mack, was born in New York City, in 1868. After receiving his early education in the public schools he was prepared for college in the Stevens high school at Hoboken, and graduated from Cornell Uni- versity in the class of 1889. During his col- lege course he became a member of the Greek letter fraternity, Beta Theta Pi. After leav- ing college he entered the office of the S. L. Moore & Sons Company, at Elizabeth, New Jersey, where he remained for six years, at the end of which time he was appointed secre- tary of the Raritan Woolen Mills and the Somerset Manufacturing Company, which are among the largest plants of their kind in the country, employing over twelve hundred hands and manufacturing every year more than two million yards of finished product. Mr. Mack is the member of various bodies of Masonry, including that of the Mystic Shrine, and for the last two years he has been a member of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks. In politics he is a Republican. He married Made- line, daughter of Alva A. Clark, of Somerville. Children: 1. Adolph C., born 1894. 2. Cath- arine, 1901.

Charles Meeks Mason was born MASON in Natchez, Mississippi, May 7, 1876, son of Samuel A. and Mary P. (Mellen). Mason. On the maternal line he traces his ancestry through some of the most illustrious members of the bench and bar of New England to William Pepperell, who was born in Plymouth, Wales, and came to America in 1668, settled in Kittery, Maine. where in 1690 he was made judge of the court of common pleas and was colonel of the militia

in 1714. He had one son, William Pepperell, born in 1696, who commanded the American forces which captured Louisburg from the French, after which he was made lieutenant- general. He also had the honor of being the first native of New England to be knighted by the king of England. He also was a member of the bar and practiced law, and was governor and chancellor of Massachusetts in 1756. His sister, Mary Pepperell, married Captain John Frost, 1691-1732, who was a captain in the fleet that went to Louisburg under the com- mand of Lieutenant General Pepperell.


Captain Frost was also a lawyer, and in 1724 was a member of the council for the province of New Hampshire. His son was George Frost, born 1720, died 1796. He was chief justice of the court of common pleas of Stafford county, New Hampshire, also a dele- gate to the Continental congress, 1776-79. His daughter, Martha Frost, married Henry Mel- len, who was also a lawyer practicing in New Hampshire. His brother, Prentiss Mellen, was United States senator from Massachusetts. When Maine was formed as a separate state in 1820 he resigned from the senate to become the first chief-justice of Maine. Sergeant S. Prentiss, the American orator, was a first cousin of Henry Mellen.


William Pepperell Mellen, son of Henry Mellen, born in 1806, died in 1864, removed to Mississippi in 1831. He was a lawyer, and a member of the legislature of Mississippi, and established the first daily newspaper, the Natches Courier, in Mississippi, and was grand master of the Masonic order of that state. He married Sarah Lewis, daughter of Archibald Lewis, who was presiding justice of the court of common pleas of Adams county, Mississippi. A brother of Archibald Lewis was Seth Lewis, who studied law in Tennessee under Andrew Jackson, and was a member of the first legis- lature of Tennessee. In 1800 he was appoint- ed the first chief-justice of Mississippi by President John Adams, and later served as United States circuit court judge for Louisiana.


Two sons of William Pepperell Mellen be- came lawyers- William F. (born 1836, died 1890), who had the degree of LL. D. con- ferred on him by the University of Mississippi, and was dean of the law department of Tulane University in New Orleans; and Thomas L., born 1847, died 1909, a member of the legis- lature of Mississippi in 1882, and prosecutor of Adams county. Mary Peyton Mellen, the daughter of William Pepperell Mellen, born 1845, died 1904, married Samuel A. Mason,


born in Frostburg, Maryland, in 1833, and died in Natchez, Mississippi, February 18, 1881. He was a commission merchant in Natchez, and served four years in the Twelfth Mississippi Regiment, States Army. Two children survive this union : Charles M. Mason, the subject of this sketch ; and Sarah E. Mason, who married Frederick L. Cobb, of Newark.


Charles Meeks Mason was graduated from Rutgers College, New Jersey, in 1897, with degree of A. B. In 1901 the degree of A. M. was conferred upon him for special educational work. Having determined to follow the pro- fession in which his ancestors had achieved such successes and were so highly honored, he entered the New York Law School, from which he was graduated with honor in 1901, and had conferred upon him the degree of LL. B. During this time he also read law in the office of Lintott, Johnson & Capen, of Newark. He was admitted to the bar of New York as an attorney and counsellor in 1901 and to the bar of New Jersey in 1902 as an attorney, and as a counsellor in 1905. In poli- tics he has been a consistent adherent of Dem- ocratic principles. He served as under-sheriff of Essex county, under Sheriff William C. Nicoll and under Sheriff Frank H. Sommer. For six months, he was acting-sheriff of the county while Sheriff Sommer was ill and ab- sent from the state.


Mr. Mason is dean of the faculty of the New Jersey Law School, and a member of the Rutgers Club, the Lawyers' Club, the Gott- fried Krueger Association ; Franklin Lodge, No. 10, F. and A. M .; Union Chapter, R. A. M .; Clinton Lodge, No. 18, I. O. O. F., and the Beta Theta Pi college fraternity. He is also interested in the militia of his state, and is a member of the First Regiment, New Jer- sey National Guard. He was married, in 1905, to Eva P. Bloomfield, of Elizabeth, New Jer- sey, a relative of Joseph Bloomfield, governor of New Jersey. They have two children": Charles Bloomfield Mason and William Pep- perell Mason.


(II) William, first of the three HOPPER sons of Andries Hopper (q. v. ). born in New Amsterdam, was born in 1654. He was married to Mynen Paulus in that city and their three children, Christina, Gertrude and Bridget ( Belitza), were born in New Amsterdam in the order named. The fam- ily removed to Hackensack, Bergen county, New Jersey, in 1686, where he joined the Reformed

Dutch church, located "On the Green" in March, 1686. Here his fourth child and only son Andrew was born and baptized in the church in March, 1686, and as there is no further record of the father he probably died soon after the son was born.


(II) Hendrick, second of the three sons of Andries Hopper, born in New Amsterdam, was born in 1656. He removed to Bergen, New Jersey, across Hudson river from New Netherlands in 1680, and he was there mar- ried, March 14, 1680, to Mary Jans Van Blarkum, whose father, John Van Blarkum, came from Holland to New Amsterdam before this daughter was born. Hendrick Hopper probably rented land in Bergen, as his name does not appear as a landowner. He was a farmer and his brother, Mathias Adolphus, who accompanied him to Bergen also worked a farm, and the two brothers removed in 1687 to Hackensack where their elder brother Will- iam had settled in 1686. Here the two brothers purchased from Captain John Berry a large tract of land extending from the west bank of the Hackensack river to the east bank of Sad- dle river and this tract they divided into two farms of about one hundred and fifty acres each, and they built on it two houses and estab- lished homes. Hendrick was a good farmer, a good citizen, and a devout member of the church. Children of Hendrick and Mary Jans ( Van Blarkum) Hopper, were born in Bergen before the removal to Hackensack, as follows: I. Andries Hendrickse, see forward. 2. Jans Hendrickse, see forward. 3. William, 1684. 4. Catherine, 1685; married Peter Garretse Van Allen, of Rotterdam, Holland. 5. Garret Hendrickse, see forward. 6.

He removed with his brother Hendrick to Bergen county, New Jersey, located on the west bank of Hudson's river and opposite the fort at New Amsterdam in 1680, where he carried on a farm. He was married in New York City by the preacher of the Bergen church of which he was a member to Anna Poulusse, a native of New Amsterdam. We also find her name written Antje Jorkse. In 1687 he removed with his brother Hendrick to Hackensack in the northern part of Bergen county, where they


purchased farms and built new homes. Mathias Adolphus was made a deacon of the Hacken- sack church in 1705, and appears to have been a prosperous farmer. Four of his five children were born in Hackensack, according to the rec- ords of the Reformed Dutch church, popularly known as "The Church on the Green."

He also served the town of Paterson as special collector of taxes, the period of his service covering over twenty years. He was regarded as a useful and highly respected citizen.

He was educated in the first public school of Paterson, under the tuition of Mr. Hosford, then a noted teacher. Upon taking up the practical duties of life, he be- came employed in the capacity of a clerk. In 1884 he entered the employ of Charles N.

N. Martin & Company. This arrangement continued successfully until 1898, when Mr. Hopper and Mr. Schutte purchased the remainder of interest of the heirs of Mr. Martin, and since that time have successfully conducted this enterprise.
