philanthropy and disinterested benevolence. He seems to have liad great purity of character, a sound judgment, and well balenced mind. Entire confidence seems to have been reposed in his talents and patriot- ism. He died a Christian, having been admitted a member of the Re- formed Dutch church at Albany in 1787, when 23 years of age."
NOTE E.
[Referred from page 426.]
We have stated that the town of Pierrepont derives its name from Mr. Hezekiah Beers Pierrepont, of Brooklyn, Long Island. This gentleman was so large a proprietor of lands in these counties, and so many of its inhabitants have derived their titles to land from him, that his name must always be connected with the annals of this district, and a short sketch of his life, therefore, will not be uninteresting.
He was born at New Haven, Connecticut, November 3, 1768, and was descended from the Rev. James Pierrepont, who was the first minister settled in that colony, at its establishment. It is worthy of note, that in 1684, the town plat apportioned to him has been ever since occupied by the family, and is still in their possession. It never has been sold since it was ceded by the Aborigines.
The immediate ancestor of the Rev. James Pierrepont, was John Pierrepont, of England, who belonged to the family of Holme Pierrepont, of Norman descent. John came to America with his younger brother Robert, about the year 1640, as tradition says, merely to visit the country, but married, and settled at Roxbury, near Boston. The name being French, became Anglicised, and has been spelt Pierpont, but the correct spelling is now resumed by this branch of the family.
The subject of this memoir being of a very active and enterprising spirit, was early dissatisfied with the prospect of a professional life, and left college without graduating, and entered into the office of his uncle, Mr. Isaac Beers, to obtain a knowledge of business. His uncle was an importer of books. He remained with him till 1790, when he went to New York, and at first took an engagement in the custom house, with the intention of obtaining a better knowledge of commercial business. The next year he associated himself with Messrs. Watson and Greenleaf, and acted as their agent in Philadelphia, where he realized a small fortune by the purchase of government debt. In 1793, he entered into partnership with Mr. William Leffingwell, and established in New York the firm of Leffingwell & Pierrepont.
France being then in revolution, neglected agriculture, and derived its supplies from abroad, principally from America. Mr. Pierrepont went to France, to attend to the shipment of provisions. The seizures that were made by England so embarrassed the trade, that he abandoned it, and made a voyage to India and China, acting as his own supercargo. On his return with a valuable cargo, his ship, named the Confederacy, was taken by a French privateer, and condemned and sold in France, contrary to our treaty stipulations-and the laws of nations. He remained in France, making reclamations against the government, and had a fair prospect of recovering the value of his ship and cargo, when the United States made a treaty with France, by the terms of which it assumed the

claims of its citizens against France. To the disgrace of this country, this claim, which is classed among many similar ones, under the title of " claims for French spoliations prior to 1800," has never yet been paid, though twenty-one reports in favor have been made in Congress, and many of the most distinguished and best men of the country have ad- mitted their justice and advocated them. It has been admitted by one of the greatest opponents of the claims, that if they could be brought before the supreme court, they would beyond a doubt obtain a decision in their favor.
Mr. Pierrepont was in Paris during the most bloody days of the revo- lution, and saw Robespierre beheaded; he was also detained in England by the legal steps that were necessary to obtain his insurance, part of which he recovered. His neutral character as an American, enabled him to travel without difficulty on the continent, though war prevailed. Our country being represented abroad by able men, as well in, as out of, the diplomatic circles, he enjoyed their society and cemented friendships, some of which lasted during life. That with Robert Fulton was one of these, as a testimony of which Mr. Pierrepont named a son after him, who died an infant. After an absence of seven years, he returned to New York, and in the year 1802, married Anna Maria, daughter of Wil- liam Constable. Wishing after his marriage to engage in some business of less hazard and uncertainty than foreign trade, he established a fac- tory for the manufacture of gin, which was attended with great success, and the article which he manufactured attained a high reputation. He purchased a country seat on Brooklyn Heights in 1802, which he after- wards made his permanent residence. He was at that time one of only twenty-six freeholders, who owned a territory which has since become covered by a city, now the second in this state.
From his connection with Mr. Constable, who was a great land holder in this as well as other states, he had his attention drawn to lands in these northern counties, and purchased in 1806 the town of Pierrepont, and subsequently Louisville and Stockholmn. He afterwards made large additions to his purchases from the estate of Mr. Constable and others, and became the owner of about half a million of acres. This extensive property engaged his whole attention ever afterwards, and his summers were devoted to visiting his lands. At his earlier visits he traveled on horseback, making thns the entire tour from Schenectady to Jefferson, St. Lawrence, and Franklin counties. His first visit having been in 1803, he saw the country, when as yet it was almost an unbroken forest, and had the gratification for a long series of years, of seeing its gradual settlement and improvement, much of which, in various sections, was the result of his own exertions. In his treatment of his settlers, for more than thirty years, he was uniformly kind and lenient, and he extended his indulgence in the collection of their dues for a long period, very much to his own pecuniary inconvenience. During the four years pre- ceding his death, he surrendered the active care of his lands in these counties to his son Henry, who has since continued in charge of them .. He died August 11, 1838, leaving a widow, who still survives him, two sons and eight daughters.

ADDITIONAL NOTES ON MADRID.
The following notes on Madrid were received from Mr. E. A. Dayton, too late for use in their proper place, and are here inserted as interesting addenda to the history of that town.
The Rutherford brothers, mentioned on page 341, were from Roxburgh- shire, Scotland, and emigrated in 1801. They were met in New York by Mr. Ogden, and induced to visit the town where they afterwards settled, in a neighborhood that has since been called Rutherford's Ridge. The land originally settled by them is still mostly occupied by their de- scendants. These families were two months in removing from Pitts- town, N. Y., by the tedious water route of Oswego. Jesse Goss settled at Columbia village in 1801, and in 1823 built the first house east of the river at that place. It stood near the place of A. Goss's present store. He was the first to erect a cloth dressing and carding mill here. The present stone woolen factory was erected in 1835. Most of the east part of the village (known locally, as Brooklyn), has been built since that time.
Joseph Freeman and his brothers Asa, Elisha and Rufus were natives of Dalton, Mass., and removed to Madrid in 1850. The former was born May 7, 1773, and in 1798 removed to Johnstown, in Canada, and thence to Madrid, crossing on the ice, and losing by an accident his stock of provisions. In 1801. Cyrus Abernethy, from Vermont, settled on the place now owned hy Roswell Abernethy. The first marriage in the south part of the town, was Eezkiel Abernethy to - Linsley. The first mill at Columbia village, built by Seth Roberts, was afterwards burned and the land and water privilege were bought by Timothy Reed, who built a new dam, and a saw and grist inill. The first store at this place was built by Buck & Meach, on the present site of the burying ground. In the summer of 1800 an attempt to navigate Grass river was made with a flat bottomed boat, but without much success, as in ascending, the loading had often to be taken out, and the empty boat dragged up with great labor.
In 1808 or 9, Eli and Nathaniel Hamblin, and Win. Castle built a small distillery on the river below the mill, and it was used till about 1830.
Samuel Allen, originally from Vermont, settled in town among the very first. In 1797, having previously made a short sojourn in Chateau- gay, and been engaged with his father, brother and a man by the name of Whelpley, in cutting the first road from that place to the French Mills. He states that on the 11th of March, 1797, there was but one family in town, which were Dutch. They lived in a hut in the present village of Waddington, and every member of it were clad in garments of deerskin. The first death of a white known to have occurred in town, is said to have been that of Daniel Tuttle, who lived a short dis- tance above Point Iroquois on the river. The first birth among the white settlers, was that of Win. L., son of Samuel Allen, Oct. 19, 1797. He was one of the unfortunate party at the windmill, at Prescott, in Nov. 1828, and is supposed to have been killed there, as he was never heard of after that event.
On the 4th of July, 1798, the first celebration of our national inde- pendence was held in town, on the extreme end of Point Iroquois, at which about 12 or 15 were present. The declaration was read by Jacob Reddington, Esq., who delivered a short oration, which was followed by the firing of guns, and cheering. This uproar attracted the notice of the Canadians, who did not know what could be the cause of the disturb-

ance among the Yankees, and they sent over a " flag of truce " to learn what might be the matter. They were told that they would not be hurt, and upon this assurance returned. The exercises of the day were con- cluded by a ball, for which they lacked none of the requisites but music of some kind, and this was supplied by the voice of Mrs. A-, who sang while the others danced. and the sport went on with as much spirit as if there had been a hundred fiddlers.
Tradition relates that the first town meeting in Madrid, was held in the fields, the presiding officer, seated on a pine stump.
The first Associate Reformed Society, of Madrid, erected a church edifice in 1819, at a cost of $800. Wm. Taylor, the first pastor, re- mained from September, 1819, till 1837. In 1840, the Rev. John Mor- rison, the present pastor, succeeded. A parsonage was built soon after the church was burned in 1841, and the society have since built one of stone. A second church was built in 1842, since which meetings have been held alternately in each. In December 1852, thirty-six members residing in north Potsdam, formed a separate organization, and are now - erecting a church. Present number in Madrid 350.
