DEACON DAVID HEDGES.
Deacon David Hedges was born June 15th, 1744, and died November 8th, 1817. He was a remarkable man. Pelletreau, in Munsell's History of Suffolk County, records the fact, that he was, for twenty years, Su- pervisor of the town of Southampton, "a longer time than any other man," and he says of him he was "a man of upright life and free from guile." The New-York Civil List reports him a member of the Provin- cial Congress in 1776, and a member of Assembly in 1786, 1787, 1788, 1789, 1804, 1806, 1807; also a member of the convention which met at Poughkeepsie and ratified the Constitution of the United States, July 26th, 1788, and voting therefor. In 1807 he was active in procuring the passage of an act incorporating the Proprietors of Montauk. This act authorized every proprietor to cast one vote, and if he owned more than one-eighth of a share to cast one vote for each additional eighth, and prohibited any proprietor from casting over eight votes. His agency, in the passage of this law, was criticized, on the ground that the vote of every proprietor should be equal. Upon this ground which may lead to the absurdity of a minority rule, the law was vehemently opposed. The incorporation proceedings were attended with disorder and tumult, which prevented organization and the meeting was broken up without effecting its purpose. In our day, in all corporations, com.
298
mon justice enacts that all share holders vote according to the number of shares owned. In that day Deacon Hedges claimed but a limited observance of that rule, now universally accepted. His sin was the sin of thinking in advance of his age. He was a large farmer and compell- ed by the British to furnish hay for the garrison in Sag-Harbor, in the Revolutionary war. My father told me he carted some of the hay. fol- lowing the ox cart of the Deacon, his father. Subsequently, by Meigs' expedition, the hay was burned. Its destruction so enraged the British that they refused to pay for the hay, as they had promised, and never did pay for it. Out of this transaction, and with this only as a founda- tion, a silly story was told that Deacon Hedges fed the British.
He was a man of positive convictions and intensely religious. In the war of the Revolution the Bridge-Hampton church had no minister. Deacon Hedges ther, and through all his after life, in the minister's absence, conducted public worship, and often read a sermon. In reso- lution, in fidelity to his convictions of duty, in sound sense, in good judgment, in executive force, in business capacity, he was conspicuous. The wife of the Rev. Dr. Woolworth wrote of his death : "Help, Lord, for the godly man ceaseth." It is doubtful whether Bridge-Hampton ever held in its bounds, on his own statement, a greater scoundrel than Stephen Burroughs. The antagonism of the two men was inevi- table and to thoughtful minds the sneering censures in "Burrough's Life" are a certificate to the credit of Deacon Hedges. His commend- ation would have been the stamp of dishonor.
He was physically powerful, and with executive force capable of great endurance. It is reported that he took a drove a cattle to New- York, and sold them for a thousand pounds. In those days robberies were frequent and the danger therefrom alarming. To avoid it Deacon Hedges took this large sum in his saddle bags, started on horseback before daybreak from Brooklyn ferry, and stopping for refreshments only once on the road, arrived at his home in Sagg safely, by 9 o'clock in the evening, a distance of one hundred miles. Tradition tells that the Deacon was none the worse for it, but the young horse he rode was a long time disabled. There is a tradition that at one time the State government offered a bounty or premium to the man who should raise the most flax. In the hope of procuring the premium he sowed forty acres in one field. He led the company in pulling it, and when they got around it, Levi Sandford, one of them nearest to him said, "Deacon we have been 'round the world."

COL. JONATHAN HEDGES 4 b. 1725, d. 1804, was in many respects a remarkable man. His stern will, positive character and independent thought, resident in a massive frame, made his presence imposing and fitted him for leadership. At the time of the battle of Long Island he was over fifty years of age, residing on the west side of Sagg street, next south of the Job Pierson place. He was Lieutenant-Colonel of a regiment composed of the militia, resident in East-Hampton, Bridge- Hampton and Sag-Harbor, whereof David Mulford was Colonel. ".Col. Abm. Gardiner administered the oath of allegiance to the people of East and Southampion. He surrounded the house of Col. Hedges at Sagg and of Col. Mulford at East Hampton, and forced them to take the oath." See Onderdonk's Revolutionary incidents of Suffolk and King's Counties, p. 46. This record of itself attests his unwavering patriot- ism, his firm principle, his abiding courage.

THE HICKS FAMILY. CONTRIBUTED BY TEUNIS D. HUNTTING, ESQ.
Among the families which at one time had many representatives in East-Hampton, but now none bearing its name, is the Hicks family, Polly, who d. in 1881, being the last survivor of that name. Dean in his history of Scituate, Mass., says, "Thomas Hicks was probably brother of Robert, who came from England on the Ann in 1623." I have not been able to prove the relationship. We have no record of who Thomas married, or the date. We find he had a son Zachariah 2 b. 1628

James Madison Huntting 7, son of Abraham 6 and Mary Mulford Huntting, was born at East-Hampton, N. Y. March 15, 1812, and died there March 14, 1868. He was first married Sept. 2, 1834, to Mary Van, daughter of Sherrill and Polly Sherrill Conklin, by whom he had two children : Adelaide T. and Cecelia R. She died April 30, 1845. His second wife was Mary E. daughter of John Dimon, of Brooklyn, N. Y. who he married Aug. 12, 1846, and by her he had one child, Teunis D. who is now living in Brooklyn, N. Y. In 1834 Mr. Huntting began his mercantile career, continuing it until 1874, when he retired. For many years he had charge of the monies of the townspeople, investing them in various institutions, such as banks, railroads and manufactur -. ing companies. In this he was successful, meeting with but few losses, considering the amount he had invested for the people. He was the moving spirit in organizing the Sag-Harbor Savings Bank, in 1862, and was its first President, which office he held until his death. For many years he was President of Board of Trustees of the Presbyterian Church at East-Hampton. It was through his efforts the new church edifice was erected in 1860 ; he giying the site on which it stands, and solicit- ing funds with which to build it. He was chairman of the local com- mittee, of the Sanitary Commission, organized for the purpose of col- lecting hospital supplies and other necessities for the "Boys in Blue" at the front in the civil war of 1861-5. He was not an active politician, the only political office he ever held, or would accept the nomination for, was that of Justice of the Peace, serving one term in 1851-3.
