J. George Quirin, father of Emil QUIRIN J. F. Quirin, was born in West- hoffen, Alsace, then France, now in Germany, and died at Olean, New York. April 1, 1907. He came to the United States in 1852, and became an apprentice in the calf- skin shop of Mercer, in Cambridge, Massachu- setts. He then removed to Iowa, where he was engaged in the business of tanning until 1867. He returned to the east with his brothers, Philip and Jacob, and, in June, 1869, together with them, purchased the tannery of the late Colonel William Ransom, at Tioga Centre, New York, and converted it into an upper leather tannery, under the firm name of J. G.
Quirin & Company. They gave employment to from one hundred to one hundred and fifty men in the tanning of wax calf, and were con- nected with William C. Quirin & Company, of Boston. William C. Quirin remained at the head of this firm until his death in 1901. The latter firm had a currying shop on Longwood avenue, Roxbury, Massachusetts, where two hundred men were employed in finishing the product of the tannery. At that time they were the largest manufacturers of wax calf- skins in the country, and produced skins of a superior quality to the French calfskins then in such demand. Philip Quirin died in 1871. and Jacob in 1880, and. in 1887, J. George Quirin retired from active business life, and spent the remainder of his life on his farm in summer, and with his sons, at Olean, in winter. He was later for a time engaged in operating a stuffing mill for a Mr. Hoffman, in Somer- ville, Massachusetts. After his return from the west he wrote a number of articles on this subject, which appeared in The Shoe and Leather Reporter, in 1867-68-69, and which attracted considerable attention at that time, he having been one of the first men to operate machinery for this purpose.
He married Madeleine Bernhardt. Chil- dren : William C. A., married Libbie Deane ; Emil J. F., mentioned below : George L. A., married Celia F. Sewell, of Boston : Frederick, died young; Edward N .. married Edna L. Earle : Charles N., unmarried ; Lydia E., mar- ried Edward Muller : Albert, deceased ; Frank J .. married Elma Bromdage, of California; Carrie L., deceased; Angelica F., unmarried.
(II) Emil J. F., son of John George Quirin, was born in Buffalo, New York, February 21, 1855, and was educated in the schools of Owego and at Boston Business College. He entered the employ of his father, and later became a partner in the firm. He is at present general manager of the Quirin Leather Press Company, of Olean. He married, September 2. 1880, Cecilia Eleanor, daughter of Stephen Durkee and Mary Robbins ( Magray) Archer ( see Archer III), and they have one child, Violet Madeleine. born June 21, 1884.
Mrs. Cecilia Eleanor Quirin had for her revolutionary ancestor Joseph Robbins, who left the following autobiography :
I was born at Kingston, Plymouth county, in the State of Massachusetts, in the year of our Lord 1757. When I was between seventeen and eighteen years of age I enlisted the first day of May, 1775, in Middle-

burg, where I then resided, as a private soldier to the American Army in the Revolutionary war, for the first eight months' service in Captain Isaac Wood's company, under Colonel Cotton Jr., General Thomas' brigade. I marched from Middleburg to Roxbury, where I served my time out at the siege of Boston. Soon after this I enlisted in the same company, but under Colonel Bailey's command, in General Heath's brigade, for the time of one year, in 1776, and marched with the army to New York. While I was in New York I worked considerably at my trade as an artificer. On the 25th of December, 1776, I took part in the capture of the Hessians at Trenton. My time of service expired Jan. Ist, 1777. Then I volun- teered anew for six weeks longer, and followed General Washington into the field of battle at Prince- ton. I remained with the army until my six weeks was expired, and then was discharged and came home and remained until June, 1779, then I enlisted in the army and went one campaign with General Sullivan, up in the wilderness in the back country, to fight the Indians. I think my captain's name was Churchill.
Services : 8 months at Roxbury, Mass. ; 12 months at New York, and there about 11/2 month volunteers ; 6 months in General Sullivan's army ; 27 months and twelve days, which I claim a pension for.
The following will show that his claim for pension was successful :

(The Archer Line).
For more than five hundred years the fam- ily of Archer has been of some note in Eng- land. Like the origin of most patronymics of the carlier Anglo-Saxon period, that of Archer appears to be involved in some obscurity, and it is doubtful whether the armorial bearings of the family were derived from the name and that still earlier from the occupation or pro- fession of archery, or were assumed, either in fanciful reference to the name or in allusion to the tenure by which John Archer, champion to Thomas, carl of Warwick, held his estates of that noble, namely, annual payment of twelve broad arrows. The Archer family of Umberslade has been the principal family of
the name in England. The line of descent down to the time that the American ancestor of the Archer family left England is given below :
Fulbert Archer came to England with Will- iam, the Conqueror, and his name is on the roll of Battle Abbey.
Robertus, son of Fulbert Archer, was of Tamworth, Warwick county, England, mar- ried Selida, daughter and heir of Roger de Hulehall; had children: Richard, John and William.
William, son of Robert Archer, married Margeria, daughter and heir of John Saway de Oxton Saway, Leicestershire. Children : Thomas, John, William and Henry.
John, son of William Archer, married Mar- gery, daughter of William Barneville, and had : William, Ela and John.
John (2), son of John (1) Archer, was of Tamworth; married Margery, daughter of William Tracy de Tuddington, and they had : Thomas and John.
John (3), son of John (2) Archer, married Isabell, daughter of Radi de Erasat, and they had : William and Thomas.
Thomas, son of John (3) Archer, was of Umberg, of Tamworth or Tanworth ; married Margaretta, daughter and heir of Walter Cle- bury, of Clebury. He died in the forty-sixth ycar of Edward III.
Thomas (2), son of Thomas (1) Archer. married Agnes, daughter of John Hanbury, of Hanbury, Staffordshire, and they had : Henry and Richard. He died in the fourth year of Henry VI., aged eighty-four years,
Richard, son of Thomas (2) Archer, mar- ried Alice, daughter of William Hugford, widow of Thomas Lucy. He died in the elev- enth year of Edward IV., aged eighty-five.
John (4), son of Richard Archer, married Christina, daughter and heir of Rodi Balklow, widow of Henry Sewell.
John (5), son of John (4) Archer, was of Tanworth ; married Alice, daughter of Bald- win Montfort.
Johannes, son of John (5) Archer, was of Tanworth ; married Mary, daughter of Humph- rey Stafford.
Richard (2), son of Johannes Archer, mar- ried Matilda, daughter and heir of Edward Delamore.
Humfrey Archer de Tanworth, son of Rich- ard (2) Archer, married Anna Townsend, daughter of Robert Townsend.

Andreas Archer, son of Humfrey Archer de Tanworth, was of Tanworth; he died there, April 6, 1629; married Mary, daughter of Simon Raleigh de Farnborow. She died Au- gust 10, 1614. Children : Simon, Thomas and Richard.
Richard (3), son of Andreas Archer, mar- ried Maria Bull, daughter of Roland Bull. Richard died in 1646-47, at Nethope, in Ox- fordshire.
Simon, son of Richard (3) Archer, married Anne, daughter of John Ferres de Tanworth.
The connection with the American ancestor has not been definitely established, but he was doubtless from a branch of the family outlined above, founded by John Archer, rector of Car- hayes, instituted there about 1614. The rector had a son Nicholas who inherited from his uncle, Richard Archer, of St. Kew, all his property, but, dying without issue, bequeathed his estate to the eldest son of his brother Ed- ward, who married, in 1683, Judith Swete. The son of Edward Archer married Sarah, co-heir of John Addis, of Whiteford. John, the American immigrant, came from Cornwall, and was perhaps a grandson of Edward Archer, mentioned above.
(I) John Archer, the American immigrant, was the progenitor of the Archer family of Nova Scotia, as well as of many in New Eng- land and other sections of the country. He came to America during the French and In- dian wars, 1757-62, having been impressed in the British navy. He left the navy, perhaps deserting, like many seamen who were forced to enter the navy against their wills, and he settled at Cherryfield, Maine. He was well educated and found employment in his new home as a teacher and land surveyor. He took up a lot, afterward occupied by his son John, situated on the Beddington road. He had a family of twenty-three children, most of whom were sons and nearly all of whom grew to maturity. The youngest of the family, David Cobb Archer, who lived near Cherryfield, was well known to travelers in his day, going from Columbia Falls to Jonesboro, Maine. John Archer was a soldier in the revolution in the American army, a private in the artillery com- pany of Colonel John Allen's regiment in 1778- 79, under Captain Thomas Robbins. He was also in Captain Jeremiah O'Brien's company of rangers, Colonel Allen's regiment, serving at Machias, Maine, late in the year 1779. John Archer married Elizabeth Gates Tupper, niece
of General Gates, of the American army at Saratoga, etc., and granddaughter of Governor Mayhew. She was daughter of Peleg (born 1731) and Deborah (Fish) Tupper, born at Sandwich, Massachusetts. Children : William Gates, married - -Mullhall, of Liverpool, Nova Scotia, and had two children, Henry and Elizabeth: Henry; Robert; John; Thomas; Joseph Tupper, mentioned below : George; Allan ; Mary; Eliakim and David Cobb.
(Il) Joseph Tupper, son of John Archer, was born at Cherryfield, Maine, in 1782. He received his education in the public schools, and at home under his father's instruction. He learned the trade of mason and stone-cutter. He went to Yarmouth and Liverpool, Nova Scotia, when a young man, and soon engaged in contracting for mason work in that vicinity. He worked on many public buildings, and, in later life, did much cemetery work, at which he was especially skillful. In 1854 he removed to Sudbury, Massachusetts, where he bought a farm. He died there, October 11, 1863, at the advanced age of eighty-one years. In re- ligion he was an active and consistent Baptist. In politics a Republican. He married (first) Dorcas Nickerson, of Harrington, Nova Scotia. He married (second) Eleanor Durkee, daugh- ter of Stephen and Lydia (Lovette) Durkee, of Yarmouth, Nova Scotia. Children of Jo- seph Tupper and Dorcas (Nickerson) Archer : Freeman, born May 8, 1812, died 1885; Jo- seph Allen, born May 17, 1814, died November 27, 1889. Children of Joseph Tupper and Eleanor (Durkee) Archer : Dorcas Eliza, mar- ried Benjamin Crosby; Mary Eleanor, born 1820, died August 12, 1890, married, October 14, 1841, Charles W. Wyman, of Yarmouth, Nova Scotia; George Edward, lost at sea in 1837 : Caroline, married, November 28, 1844, Joseph Churchill, of Yarmouth, Nova Scotia : Stephen Durkee, see below; Lydia, married Caston Harris, of Boston, Massachusetts.
(III) Stephen Durkee, son of Joseph Tup- per Archer, was born at Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, September 22, 1826. He received his education in the town of Yarmouth. Although his schooling was ended when he was sixteen, he was a lifelong student. He learned the mason's trade of his father and made it his life business. He built the Yarmouth Bank, also the Clements and Rierson buildings. Short- ly after his marriage, in 1850, he removed to New York City, where he worked at his trade for three years on the Bible House building.

He then came to Sudbury, Massachusetts. where he and his father bought a farm, which they carried on for four years. He continued also to work at his trade in the vicinity. He then removed to Danvers, Massachusetts, where he followed his trade for about six years, thence going to Amesbury, where he worked for three years. In 1864 he removed to Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, for the purpose of building the courthouse and jail there. After three years he located at Boston, where he was a con- tractor. He removed to Hyde Park and was employed by the Francis Estate, which was located on the present site of Boston College. and remained until 1891, when he bought an estate at Malden and settled there, where he lived retired for the remainder of his days, and died December 8, 1902. He was a member of the South Baptist Church, of Boston, and was active and prominent in his denomination. He had previously belonged to the Baptist church, of Yarmouth. In politics he was a Republican. He was also a member of the Ancient Order of American Mechanics. His portrait, found in this work, has been placed here by his daughter, Mrs. Emil J. F. Quirin, in loving remembrance of his many fine qual- ities of mind and heart.

DEYO Of the twelve patentees of the town of New Paltz, New York, two bore the name Deyo and were father and son. They were among the last of the twelve to come to come to the new world, the others having been in America several years. New Paltz was one of the few Hugue- not settlements in this country and perhaps the only one in which the stock of the original settlers was not speedily overwhelmed by a flood of newcomers from other European nationalities. With the exception of Kingston, no other place in that part of the country was settled at so early a period. The New Paltz church was organized exactly forty years be- fore the first church at Poughkeepsie was erected. The old Deyo house in the village came down in the same family nearly two hun- dred years. In 1675 Pierre Deyo was still in the Palatinate, as shown by the following cer- tificate of good standing and church member- ship still preserved in the family :
This is to certify that Peter Doio and Agatha Nickel, both in honor living in C- Pfaltz, Mutter- stadt, circuit of New Stadt, have been united in mar- riage, the intent of such marriage, having been an- nounced three times from the pulpit, that they are members of the Reformed Church and as far as we know, the same are well behaved people.
JACOB AMYOT. Pastor.
Mutterstadt, Curr Pfaltz, 21 January 1675.
Christian Deyo was quite an old man at the time of settlement of New Paltz and lived only ten years afterward. His will is recorded in book A. county clerk's office in Kingston. He was called "Grandpere" or grandfather in the
old documents, and, in fact, was the grand- father of most of the children in the new settlement. His son Pierre (Peter) was a patentee, as were his four sons-in-law, Abra- ham Hasbrouck, John Hasbrouck, Simon Le- Fevre and Abraham Du Bois.
(Il) Pierre, only son of Christian Deyo, was of Huguenot extraction ; was married in the German Palatinate, to Agatha Nickel, and with his father came to America in 1675. He was one of the twelve patentees of the town of New Paltz, Ulster county, New York, and tradition says that he lost his life while on an expedition to find a route from New Paltz to the river, and that long afterwards a buckle of a truss that he wore was found. It is probable that this was Pierre, son of Pierre, the pat- entee, who grew to manhood, but left no chil- dren. Pierre, the patentee, left four sons: 1. Abraham, born at Hurly, October 16, 1676; married Elsie Clearwater, and left Abraham (2), Marytje and Wyntje. 2. Christian, of whom further. 3. Pierre, baptized at New Paltz, 1683, probably the one lost in the forest. 4. Hendricus, baptized at Kingston, October 12, 1690 ; married Margaret Von Bummel, and left a large family.
( III ) Christian, son of Pierre, the patentee, and Agatha (Nickel) Deyo, was baptized at Brooklyn, New York, 1681. He settled in the Springtown district, where descendants yet re- side. His name appears in a list of taxpayers in 1712 ; in a list of soldiers of Captain Hoff- man's company in 1716; in the list of those who built the first stone church in 1720; in a list of freeholders in 1728, and in a list of slave holders in 1755. His name appears as deacon in the church at New Paltz, in 1733, and as elder in 1765. He married, at New Paltz. in 1702, Marytje De Graff. This mar- riage is recorded on both the church books of New Paltz and Kingston. He left children : 1. Moses, born 1706: married, 1728, Clarissa Stokhard, and lived about a mile north of Springtown. His name appears in the list of New Paltz soldiers in 1738. He and his wife joined the New Paltz church in 1752. 2. Jacobus, of whom further. 3. Mary, married, in 1731. J- Ackmoidi, a Scotchman, and ancestor of the Auchmoody family.
(IV) Jacobus, son of Christian and Marytje (De Graff) Deyo, was born about 1708. He left the Springtown home and settled in Kings- ton, where he married in 1724. In 1738 he is found in a list of foot soldiers of Kingston,

which proves his residence there, although the ยท marriage record names them both as of New Paltz. Afterward he or his widow removed to Dutchess county, and in the records of the Poughkeepsie church is found a record of his widow's second marriage, April 22, 1754. He married Janitje Freer. Children, several dangh- ters, and sons, Jacobus (2) and Peter.
(V) Jacobus (2), son of Jacobus (I) and Janitje ( Freer) Deyo, was born in 1732. He was twenty-two years old when his mother, in 1754, married (second) Richard Gryn, and it is supposed that he then left home and settled at Nine Partners, Dutchess county, New York. He married and had issue.
(VI) William, son of Jacobus (2) Deyo, was born about 1775, and settled in the town of Ghent, Columbia county, New York, where he married and reared a family. Among his sons were David, Jonathan, Israel T. and Rich- ard.
(VII) Richard, son of William Deyo, was born in the town of Ghent, Columbia county, New York, in 1819; died 1888. He removed to Broome county, where he engaged in farm- ing. He married Caroline B., daughter of Jonas and Gertrude Eckert. Children: Mar- tin L .: Christina; Joseph H .; Israel Tripp, of whom further ; Gertrude; R. Herbert.
(VIII) Israel Tripp, son of Richard and Caroline B. (Eckert) Deyo, was born in the town of Union, Broome county, New York, January 28, 1854. His education was obtain- ed in district schools and at the high school in Binghamton, where he was graduated in 1875, valedictorian. He entered Amherst College, whence he was graduated A. B., class of 1879, and was a member of the Delta Kappa Epsilon and Phi Beta Kappa Greek letter fraternities. For several years, after leaving college, he was engaged in teaching, being principal of the school at Whitney's Point, New York, and later an instructor at the State Normal, at Cortland, New York. Deciding to embrace the profession of law, he entered the law office of David H. Carver, under whose per- ceptorship he continued until 1883, when he was admitted to the bar. A partnership was at once formed with David H. Carver, and under the firm name of Carver & Deyo a successful legal business was transacted. In 1901 Charles 11. Hitchcock was admitted, constituting the firm of Carver, Deyo & Hitchcock, as it re- mained until the death of Mr. Carver, in 1908. Mr. William B. Carver, a son of Mr. D. H.
