serving until near the close of the war, when he returned to Jamestown, which was his home until his death. He was an active member of the Republican party, and in religious faith he and his family attended the Episcopal church ; he was very liberal in his views.

After his marriage Mr. Sprague lived in Rochester and Westfield, New York, coming to Jamestown about 1844, where he became a member of the firm of Sprague & Steel, own- ing and operating a foundry and machine shop for many years, one of the first in the city. He was a devoted member of the Universalist church, when there were few members of that faith in the village.

ELY The earliest mention of Ely, as a family surname in England, is found after the Norman Conquest. The English "Book of Dignities" records William De Ely as lord treasurer for King John and Richard I .; Richard De Ely, lord treasurer for Richard I. and Henry II .; Ralph De Ely, baron of the exchequer for Henry III. ( 1240) ; Nich- olas De Ely, lord chancellor in 1260, lord treas- urer in 1263 and bishop of Worcester from 1266 to 1289. One branch of the family is known to have lived at Utterby, Lincolnshire, from this early period down to the present day. L. C. R. Norris Ely being the present lord of the Manor of Utterby and patron of the old thirteenth century Church of St. Andrew, at that place. Wharton Dickinson, the genealo- gist, traces the family back to nine connections with Ralph De Ely, baron of the exchequer. The Manor House has the Ely arms (a fesse engrailed between six fleur-de-lis), cut in stone, over the entrance, dated 1639. The same arms are also found in the church. Another branch of the family is said to have settled in York- shire, and Burke gives arms the same, but red instead of black. In Bailey's History of Not- tinghamshire "John De Ely" is stated to have been appointed the first vicar of St. Mary's Collegiate Church, at Nottingham, in 1790, and the author adds that the name has "come down to the present day." Another John De Ely was lord of the Manor of Thornhaugh and Wigglesey, in Nottinghamshire, in 1316. In America there are several branches of the family. One settled in Massachusetts, in 1634, another in West Jersey, in 1683. From the latter comes the Pennsylvania branch.
(I) The American founder of the Elys of Falconer, New York, is Nathaniel Ely, who came from England to America, about 1634, in the bark "Elizabeth." He was of Cam- bridge, Massachusetts, 1632; made freeman, May 6, 1635; removed the next year to Hart- ford, Connecticut, where he was an original proprietor, and, in 1639, constable. He later was one of the first settlers at Norwalk, Con- necticut, 1651 ; representative, 1657, but re- moved, three years later, to Springfield, Massa- chusetts, where he died, December 25, 1675. He was a very important man in Springfield ; was selectman many years; served on numer-
ous town committees ; had "ye second seat" in the meeting house. His widow, Martha Ely, died October 23, 1688. There is no record of his family, he left no will, and the only chil- dren known of are Samuel, and Ruth, who married Jeremy Horton.

He bought, from the other members of the family, one hundred and nine acres of the ·original tract, which he cleared and cultivated. In the fall of 1840 he removed to Chautauqua county, New York, settling in the town of Ell- ington, where he purchased a farm and resided until his death. He was a man of good edu- cation, supplemented by a wide range of read- ing. He followed farming all his life, but, in his reading, kept himself well informed on vital questions of the day. He was a member of the Christian church, and a highly-respected, well-beloved neighbor. He married (first) Re- becca Duell, who bore him six children.

He was an infant when his parents came to Chautauqua county, where his life has since been spent. He was educated in the public schools of Ellington, where his boyhood days were spent. He grew up on the farm and has always followed that occupation. In 1861 he enlisted, as corporal, in the Forty-ninth Regiment, New York Volunteer Infantry, Com- pany K. He joined his regiment in Buffalo, September 16, 1861, went from there to New York City, to Philadelphia, to Washington, District of Columbia, and, in less than a week, was doing picket duty at "Camp Advance," Virginia, where the regiment remained until the spring of 1862, when they joined the Army of the Potomac, at Fortress Monroe, then under the command of Major-General George B. McClellan. Mr. Ely was with his regiment through all the hard campaigns and battles of
the Army of the Potomac; was engaged at Centerville, siege of Yorktown, Hanover Court House, Mechanicsville, Gaines Hill, Turkey Bend, Malvern Hill, second battle of Bull Run, Antietam, Shepherdstown Ford, Chancellors- ville, Aldie, Gettysburg, Jones Cross Roads, Will- iamsport, Rappahannock Station, Mine Run, the Wilderness, Laurel Hill, Spottsylvania, North Anna, Bethesda Church and Appomat- tox. He served under two enlistments, the second time as sergeant. He was honorably discharged, December 13, 1863, and at once reenlisted, and was finally mustered out, June 27, 1865. Through these fierce battles he escaped with but a slight scratch on the right shoulder, although, at Fisher's Hill fight, he was overcome by heat and sunstroke. After his return from the army he married and culti- vated the home farm for a time, later purchas- ing a farm of ninety acres in the town of Po- land, Chautauqua county. Here he remained four years, then sold and purchased a farm of two hundred and five acres, on which he lived until 1886. In the latter year he sold his farm and purchased a smaller one of sixty-four acres, which he operated until 1895. In that year he retired from active life, settling in the village of Falconer, where he built a fine resi- dence, which he now occupies, and another for his daughter, Mrs. Kate L. Davis. In 1896 he was appointed street commissioner of the vil- lage, which position he held twelve years. In 1909 he was elected highway superintendent of the town of Ellicott, and held it two years, and is holding that position at the present time (1911).

EDDY The Eddys of Jamestown, New York, descend from an ancient English family, mentioned in "Burke's Royal Families" (London, 1851), and in "Burke's Colonial Gentry." The earliest progenitor of the family, in America, was Samuel, son of William Eddye, A. M., vicar of the Church of St. Dunstan, of the town of Cranbrook, county of Kent, England, a native of Bristol. He was educated at Trinity College, Cambridge Uni- versity, and he was vicar of Cranbrook, 1589- 1616. He died November 23, 1616, and was buried in Cranbrook churchyard, but where therein is not known. He was a gentleman of great merit, and a faithful minister to his church. He possessed rare executive ability, and placed the financial affairs on a sound, substantial basis, hitherto unknown. His care- ful, methodical mind so deplored the careless, ill-kept books of the church that he personally collected all the loose registers of the parish, dating back from 1588, arranged and properly entered them in a new parchment book. He beautifully engrossed about eighty of its pages and illuminated three title pages, births, mar- riages and deaths. This book is yet to be seen at the vicarage. The church over which he presided was a substantial, uniform building, in the style of the period, most spacious within, with nave, side aisles, chancel and a square embattled tower, at the west end, containing a ring of eight bells and a set of musical chimes, arranged to play every third hour. The town of Cranbrook was once the center of the cloth- ing trade of England, which existed there for several centuries, prior to 1774.
Rev. Eddye married (first), November 20, 1 577, Mary, died July, 1611, daughter of John Fosten, died September, 1573. In 1614 he married (second) Elizabeth Taylor, a widow, who bore him a daughter, Priscilla. Children of first marriage : Mary, born September, 1591 ; Phineas, September, 1593; John, March, 1597;
Ellen, August, 1599; Abigail, October, 1601, died May 20, 1687, at Charlestown, Massachu- setts; Anna, born May, 1603; Elizabeth, born December, 1606; Samuel, of further mention ; Zachareas, 1610; Nathaniel, 1611; Priscilla, child of the second wife, 1614. Of the sons, John and Samuel came to America, landed at Plymouth, where John remained for a year. He dwelt in Plymouth and resided later in Newton, Massachusetts, where he was made freeman, in 1633. He spelled his name, at one time, Edie, at another, Eddye, but his numerous descendants always wrote it Eddy. Samuel seems to have always spelled his name "Eddy," but others spell it in a great variety of ways, Ede, Edy, Eady, Eadey, Edie, but more often Eddy. Probably Eedy, as some spelled it, was in accordance with the pro- nunciation of the name at that time.
(II) Samuel Eddy, second son and seventh child of Rev. William and his first wife, Mary (Fosten) Eddye, was born at Cranbrook, coun- ty of Kent, England, in May, 1608, died in Massachusetts (probably at Plymouth), 1685. In company with his elder brother John he left London, England, August 10, 1630, in the ship "Handmaid," Captain John Grant, arrived at Plymouth, November 8, 1630 (n. s.), Octo- ber 29, 1630 (o. s.), having been twelve weeks at sea. Governor Winthrop says: "They had sixty passengers and lost but one," and one of the Eddys told him that "he had many letters to the ship for me." Samuel settled at Plym- outh with the Pilgrims, the last company of which arrived the same year ( 1630). He pur- chased a house and land of Experience Mitchell, May 9, 1631 ; his name is on the list of free- man, 1633, the whole list containing but ninety names. In 1638 "four shares in the black heifer" were assigned him. He had land grant- ed him in 1636-41-59, and was a taxpayer of Plymouth from 1632 until his death. In 1662 he was one of the "twenty-six men" who pur- chased, of the Sachem Wampatuck, the great- est part of the land constituting the greater part of the town of Middleboro, the title being confirmed to them, in 1669, by the governor and assistants. In 1669 he sent his son John to dwell with Francis Gould, "until he shall reach the age of twenty-one years." In 1647 his son Zachariah, and, in 1652, his son Caleb were apprenticed to John Brown, of Rehoboth, a shipbuilder, an assistant and one of the com- missioners of the colony. The indentures of apprenticeship of these three sons are on rec-

ord. In 1633 his servant, Thomas Brian, "was brought back before the Governor and Assist- ants, for running away (brought back by an Indian), and whipped before the Governor." In 1643 he is enrolled "among those who bore arms." He died in 1688, aged eighty years, having resided with several of his sons the lat- ter part of his life, at Middleboro, Swanzey, etc., but in a deed, made a short time before his death, he speaks of his residence "of Plym- outh." The name of his wife was Elizabeth. The records state that in 1651 "Elizabeth, wife of Samuel Eddy, arraigned for wringing and hanging out her clothes on Lord's Day, fine twenty shillings, but remitted." May 1, 1660, "Elizabeth Eddy summoned for travelling from Plymouth to Boston on Lord's Day : She an- swered that Mistress Saffin was very weak and sent for her with an earnest desire to see her in her weakness. The court thought they saw not a sufficient excuse and saw cause to admonish her, and so she was discharged." She died in 1682 (or 1689), aged eighty-one years. Children : 1.
