he was a member of the township committee, and as such rendered most efficient service, and he was one of the organizers of the East Orange Republican Club. He was president of the Summit Gas Company, a director in the Merchants' Insurance Company of Newark, and a prominent member of the New Jersey branch of the Society of Sons of the American Revolution. It has been well said of him: "He was a man among men, of a retiring dis- position, rather reserved, never seeking a con- troversy or intruding his views on others, but firm in his convictions of right. He never turned a deaf ear to an appeal for help from the truly deserving, but exercised wisdom and tact in the distribution of his charities. He was broad in his religious views, and the foundation of his faith was what has been term- ed the 'Fatherhood of God and the Brother- hood of Man,' and he exemplified the teachings of the Master in his daily walk and conversa- tion.'


He married Anna Elizabeth, daughter of Matthias Munn and Harriet (Rowe) Dodd (see Dodd). Children: Winthrop Dodd, re- ferred to below; Matthias Munn Dodd, of 26 South Maple avenue, East Orange, married Mary E. Dukes, and has two children, Aaron Peck and Janet ; Anna; Arthur Herbert, re- ferred to below.

After attending the Orange public schools he went to Phillips Andover Academy, Massa- chusetts, and in 1884 he began the study of medicine with Professor Frederick S. Dennis, and graduating from Bellevue Hospital Medi- cal College, he served two years as interne in St. Vincent's Hospital, New York. He then spent eighteen months studying at Vienna, Munich, London and Dublin, and on his return to this country served for about a year and a half more as assistant to Professor Dennis. In 1892 he began practicing in Newark, and in 1895 he removed permanently to his father's old home on Grove street, where he now has a successful practice, especially in surgical cases. He is visiting surgeon for St. Michael's Hos- pital, and a member of the Essex County Medi- cal Society, American Medical Association, and Hospital Graduates' Club of New York.


He married, in 1889, Harriet, daughter of Charles H. Morgan, of Worcester, Massachu- setts, a well-known mechanical engineer, and a descendant of Miles Morgan. Child of Win-


throp Dodd and Harriet ( Morgan) Mitchell : Beatrice, born June 6, 1891.

He prepared for college at the Newark Academy, from which he grad- uated in 1896, and then taking the scientific course in Princeton University, he received his B. S. degree in 1900. Shortly after graduat- ing from college he began reading law with Hon. Philemon Woodruff, and taking a course in the New York Law School was admitted to the New Jersey bar as attorney in June, 1903, and as counsellor in February, 1907. He then entered upon the general practice of his pro- fession in Newark, where he has offices at 763 Broad street, and where he is building up for himself a successful and lucrative practice. In politics he is a Republican, and in 1905 and 1906 he was one of the councilmen of East Orange. He is a member of Hope Lodge, No. 124, F. and A. M., of the Lawyers' Club, the Essex Club, and the New Jersey Automobile Club. He is counsel for the East Orange Bank, and a member of the First Congrega- tional Church of East Orange, with which his father was so closely identified.

The families which settled in New NOTT Haven and Hartford colonies were not of that rugged, honest, fear- less and simply born class which were among the first settlers of New England; for, while they possessed all these qualities, they had in addition a degree of affluence and cultivation which the majority of the earlier New Eng- land settlers did not possess. They were of a superior social class, and were more generously endowed with this world's goods.


(1) John Nott, the founder of the family. emigrated from Nottingham, England, about 1640. He is supposed to have been a grandson of Lord John Nott, of Nottingham. Stiles says he was in Wethersfield. He was a juror in 1646, townsman in 1658, surveyor in 1659. deputy in 1662-63, representative to the gen- eral court for nineteen years from 1665, and on the committee in 1670 to settle the west line of Wethersfield. In the same year he drew an allotment of land. By trade he was a joiner. He died January 25, 1682, leaving a widow Ann, and children : Hannah; John, referred to below ; Elizabeth.


(II) John (2), son of John (I) and Ann Nott, was born in Wethersfield, Connecticut, about 1650, and died May 21, 1710. For some time he was sergeant of the Wethersfield train- ed band, and in 1702 he was hayward. March 28, 1683, he married Patience, daughter of William Miller, who is said to have died in Saybrook after 1745. Children: John; Jon- athan ; William ; Thomas ; Nathaniel ; Gershon ; Thankful; Abraham, referred to below ; Ann.


(III) Abraham, son of John (2) and Pa- tience (Miller) Nott, was born in Wethers- field, Connecticut, January 29, 1696, and died in Saybrook, Connecticut, January 24, 1756. He graduated from Yale in 1720, and became the first pastor of the Second Congregational Church, now the Essex Society of Saybrook. He was a noted athlete, especially as to feats of strength and endurance, and tradition says that he could raise a barrel of cider by the chines and hold it at arms length above his head. He was notable both as a man and as a minister, and with one exception all of his chil- dren were remarkably prosperous. He mar- ried Phebe, daughter of John Topping, of Southampton, Long Island, whose father, Cap-


tain Thomas Topping, was one of the earliest settlers of Wethersfield. After Rev. Abraham Nott's death his widow married ( second) June, 1758, Lieutenant John Pratt, of Saybrook. Children: Abraham; Keturah; Stephen, re- ferred to below ; Temperance; Josiah ; Ephrus.


(IV) Stephen, son of Rev. Abraham and Phebe (Topping) Nott, was born in Saybrook, Connecticut, July 24, 1728, and died in Frank- lin, Connecticut, January 29, 1790. He was an unusually intelligent and well read man, but was the only one of his father's children who did not prosper. At first he kept store in Say- brook and was for ten years successful. In 1759 his home and contents were destroyed by fire and the family barely escaped with their lives, his son Samuel, then five years old, being rescued by his mother. In a new home he met with a second disaster, and be began moving from place to place, first to East Had- dan, then to Ashford, and finally to Franklin. December 15, 1749, he married (first) Deb- erah, daughter of Samuel Selden, of Lyme. Connecticut, who died October 24, 1788. In 1789 he married Abigail Bradford. Children, all by first marriage: Temperance; Samuel, Yale graduate, 1780, pastor at Franklin, Con- hecticut, for nearly fifty years ; Phebe; Tem- perance (2d) ; Charlotte ; Lovice ; Rhoda ; Deb- orah ; Eliphalet, referred to below.


(V) Eliphalet, youngest child of Stephen and Deborah (Selden) Nott, was born in Ashford, Connecticut, June 25, 1773, and died in Schenectady, New York, in 1866. He was a joyous jolly Yankee boy, notable for his de- votion to his mother, his retentive memory, and his unceasing desire for knowledge. At sixteen years of age he joined the church of his brother Samuel, studied with his brother and in the Franklin school, and before he was twenty years old became principal of the Plain- field Academy, where he conceived his "Moral Motive" system of government. Continuing his studies he took the senior examination at Brown University in 1795 and received the honorary degree of Master. June 26, 1796, he was licensed to preach, and refusing to re- main in Connecticut because missionaries were so much needed in the lesser settled portions of the country, he went to New York with a roving commission from the Domestic Mis- sionary Society of Connecticut. Before set- ting out Dr. Nott married, and leaving his bride behind him, set out alone on horseback for Cherry Valley, New York, where he was to be missionary and school teacher, and where he later brought his wife.

he received and accepted a call to the pastorate of the First Presbyterian Church of Albany, where he remained until 1804. September 14 of that year he was elected president of Union Trolley, Schenectady, of which he had been chosen a trustee soon after his coming to Al- bany. This position he held for sixty-twc years, until his death. He found the college without funds. building or library, and in debt. He soon provided for its needs, and under his administration the college prospered and pro- duced many of the most prominent men in the east, for example, Dr. Wayland, president of Brown University, and later the Hon. Ches- ter A. Arthur, president of the United States. During the whole time of his presidency, the college graduated more than four thousand students. Dr. Nott was quite a mechanical genius and took out over thirty patents for various inventions. He spent considerable time experimenting with anthracite coal for heat- ing purposes. He had been considered the most finished pulpit orator of his time; his most notable public address, however, was that which he delivered in Albany on the death of Alexander Hamilton. He had left few pub- lished manuscripts. In 1810 he published "Councils to Young Men," in 1847 "Lectures on Temperance." His life was published by Van Santvoord in 1876. July 4, 1796, Dr. Nott married Maria, eldest daughter of Rev. Dr. Joel Benedict, of Plainfield. Children : I. Joel Benedict, born November 17, 1797, died about 1879 ; married Margaret Tayler. 2. John, died 1879. 3. Benjamin, referred to below. 4. Howard, died about 1881. 5. Maria, married Right Rev. Alonzo Potter, D. D., Protestant Episcopal Bishop of Pennsylvania, and became the mother of a large family of sons, distin- guished in every walk of life.


(VI) Benjamin, third son of Rev. Eliphalet and Maria (Benedict) Nott, was born in Al- bany, New York, in 1803, and died in 1881. After graduating from Union College he read law in the office of President Van Buren, and then began practice in Northern New York with much success. At the time of his mar- riage he was a rapidly rising man, and removed to Bethlehem, New York, where he spent his life and lived to be one of the oldest and most distinguished citizens of the town, and of Albany. During the latter years of his life he lived at his place, Rock Hill, a few miles south of the city. For several years he was county judge, and always a respected, thought- ful, and influential citizen. He was a man of large acquirements, strong reasoning faculty,


and great facility of expression. In conversa- tion he was a genial and agreeable man, with a curious streak of humor. Just before his death he had completed for the press a work on "Constitutional Ethics," to which he had been devoting his attention for many years. At the time he died, it was said of him, "Judge Nott was extensively connected with and known by all our people. He lived a long, blameless, and useful life, universally respect- ed, a credit to the distinguished family of which he was a member, and his loss would be greatly deplored." Judge Nott married Eliza- beth, sister to John Taylor Cooper, of Albany. Children : I. Charles D. K., clergyman, in New Jersey. 2. Francis Asbury, referred to below. 3. Robert, a merchant in Iowa. 4.

He afterward removed to 27 South Arlington ave- nue, Orange, New Jersey, where he is now residing. In 1888 he was elected a member of the city council of East Orange, and occupied that position to the utmost satisfaction of everyone for the ensuing four years. He mar- ried Julia, daughter of Francis W. and Doro- thy (Lord) Edmonds. Her brothers and sis- ters are: Mary, wife of Charles R. Tyng, Grace, Alice, Joseph Lord, and John W. Chil- dren of Francis Asbury and Julia (Edmonds) Nott: Francis Asbury Jr., referred to below ; Cooper E., born May 6, 1875.


(VII) Francis Asbury Jr., son of Francis As- bury (I) and Julia (Edmunds) Nott, was born in East Orange, New Jersey, October 19, 1873. For his early education he was sent to the pub- lic schools of East Orange, after which he was prepared for college by a private tutor. He then read law with Philemon Woodruff, Esq., and was admitted to the New Jersey bar in June, 1901. October 12, 1908, he was ap- pointed to fill the unexpired term of Hon. Franklin W. Ford, as judge of the recorder's court of the city of East Orange, and when this term expired he was appointed for a full term. In politics he is a Republican.

PERRINE The Perrine family of New Jersey is of old French Hugue- not extraction, and belongs among the earliest of the old French colonists who came to this country. They traced their lineage back to the group of refugees who were brought over to East Jersey by Sir Philip Car- teret in 1665, when he came over to take charge of the government of that province.


(1) Daniel Perrine, the emigrant ancestor of the family in this country, reached New York Harbor on the ship "Philip," July 29, 1665.
