(The Davenport Line).
Matilda (Davenport) Lockwood, wife of Rev. Peter Lockwood, was a lineal descendant of Rev. John Davenport, who was of the seventeenth generation from Ormers de Daven- port, born 1086, and assumed the local name of Davenport, a township in the county of Chester, England.
(I) Rev. John Davenport, son of John and grandson of Henry Davenport, was born in the ancient city of Coventry, Warwickshire, England, in 1597. His father was a merchant of Coventry, a city of which his grandfather was at one time mayor. He pursued his aca- demical studies at the grammar school in Cov- entry, and, in 1613, was admitted to Merton College, Oxford University. After two years at Merton, he removed to Magdalena Hall, in the same University, where he received the degree of A. B. He was chaplain at Hilton Castle, then assistant in London, and soon after vicar of St. Stephens, in that city. This was at the time of the dreadful plague which carried off thousands, but the young pastor remained at his post. He next returned to Oxford, where he received the degree of Mas- ter of Arts and also that of Bachelor of Divin- ity. For the next few years he lived a stormy life, as the storm of intolerance and persecution was now ready to break against all ministers, showing the faintest signs of freedom of thought, or action contrary to the authorities in control of the Established Church. His friendship for Rev. John Cotton soon result- ed in his becoming a non-conformist, a result that caused him to resign his pulpit and forced him to take refuge in Holland. His next re- solve was to collect a band of colonists and seek asylum in America. They sailed on the ship "Hector," arriving in Boston, June 26, 1637. In the fall of that year, with Mr. Eaton, he journeyed to Connecticut, where they select- ed a spot for his colony to settle, Quinnipiack, the Indian name, at the head of a harbor four miles from Long Island sound. April 14, 1638, Mr. Davenport, with his band of pilgrims, ar- rived at the future New Haven. He was then forty-one years of age. The next day was the Sabbath ; service was held under the spreading branches of an oak tree, and the new settle- ment consecrated to God. In 1639 a civil gov- ernment was formed and a church organized, Mr. Davenport being chosen pastor. Two months later the general court, consisting of the "seven pillars" of the church, elected offi-
cers of the new colony of New Haven. The. ophilus Eaton was chosen governor and solemn- ly charged by Rev. Davenport. He was annual- ly chosen governor for twenty succeeding years, until his death, January, 1658. In 1654 Rev. Davenport brought forward a plan for estab- lishing a college at New Haven, the town mak- ing a donation of land. Governor Hopkins donated five hundred pounds sterling. The general court erected the college school into a college for teaching the three learned lan- guages, Latin, Greek and Hebrew. Rev. Dav- enport took care of the colony school, which after his removal to Boston terminated in a grammar school, which continued to hold the Hopkin's fund. This was not the origin of Yale College ; that occurred in 1700. In 1667 he accepted a call from the Second Church, of Boston, where he was installed pastor, Decem- ber 9, after fifty years in the ministry, twenty in England and thirty years in New Haven. He did not long live to minister to his Boston congregation, but died of apoplexy, March 15, 1670. His tomb is in the burying-ground of the Stone Chapel Church, on Tremont street, Boston. A broad slate stone monument marks the spot on which are the following inscrip- tions : "Here Lye Intombed the Bodyes of the Famous Reverend and Learned Pastors of the First Church of Christ in Boston, viz : Mr. John Cotton aged 67 years, deceased December 23. 1652, Mr. John Davenport aged 72 years, de- ceased May 15, 1670, Mr. John Oxenbudge aged 66 years, deceased December 28, 1674." He was a great man. He married, in England, Elizabethı -, died September 1, 1672, aged seventy-three years. Her monument was dis- covered in 1851, in King's Chapel Burial- Grounds, near the tomb of Governor Winthrop, and not far from the grave of her husband.
(I]) John (2), only child of Rev. John (1) and Elizabeth Davenport, was born in Lon- don, and did not accompany his parents to America. He came over in charge of Mr. Fenwick, in 1639, in one of the only two ships that ever came from England to New Haven. He was one of the judges of New Haven courts in 1661. After removing to Boston with his father he was register of probate, but at the time of his death, March 21, 1677, is call- ed a merchant. He married, November 27, 1663, Abigail, daughter of Rev. Abraham Pier- son, of Branford, Connecticut, sister of Rev. Abraham (2) Pierson, the first rector of Yale College.

(III) Rev. John (3) Davenport, son of John (2) and Abigail ( Pierson) Davenport, was born in Boston, February 22, 1668, and was baptized by his grandfather six days later. Ile was graduated at Harvard College, 1687, and began preaching in 1690. In 1691 he be- came assistant to Rev. Mr. James, of East Hampton, Long Island. In 1692 was called to the Stamford church, Fairfield county, Con- necticut : taught the Hopkin's grammar school in New Haven before going to Stamford, and was a member of the corporation of Yale Col- lege from 1707 until his death in 1731. He married ( first ), April 18. 1695, Martha, widow of John Selleck, formerly a Miss Gould, who bore him seven children; she died December 1, 1712, and is buried at New Haven. He married (second ) Mrs. Elizabeth Maltby. daughter of John Morris, by whom he had two children. Children by first wife: 1. Abigail, married Rev. Stephen Williams, D. D., by whom she had eight children, three of whom became ministers. 2. Jolin, married Sarah Bishop, and was one of the twenty-four orig- inal members of the Congregational church, of New Canaan, Connecticut. 3. Martha, married Rev. Thomas Goodsell. 4. Sarah, married Cap- tain William Maltby, and had a son, Rev. John Maltby, graduate of Yale and for several years pastor of a church in Bermuda, West Indies. 5. Theodora, died young. 6. Deacon Deodate, married Lydia, daughter of Rev. John Wood- ward. 7. Elizabeth, married Rev. William Gaylord. 8. Abraham, of further mention. 9. Rev. James, graduate of Yale, and a most won derful preacher and revivalist.
(IV) Abraham, son of Rev. John (3) and his first wife, Martha (Gould-Selleck ) Daven- port, was born 1715, and was graduated at Yale College, 1732, and became one of the most prominent and best known men in the state. He represented Stamford in the state legislature for twenty-five sessions, and at sev. eral times was clerk of the house. He was state senator from 1766 to 1784, judge of pro- bate several years, and judge of the county court, and was equally active in the Congrega- tional church, holding the office of deaco:1, 1759-89. In 1776 he, his son John and Tha I- deus Burr were sent to the army under Wash- ington, to assist in "arranging it into companies and regiments," and to commission the officers appointed by the assembly for the battalions raised by the state. Ile was also empowered to arrest and bring to trial persons suspected
of irresolution or disloyalty. "In 1777 he was one of the Committee of Safety for the state and was always consulted by Governor Trum bull and General Washington, as one of the wisest counselors in our most trying davs." An instance in his career was pleasingly ren dered into verse by John G. Whittier and alludes to the "Dark Day" in Connecticut. The legislature was in session at Hartford and it was the general opinion that the day of ju.lg- ment was at hand. The house being unable to see to transact business adjourned. A pro- posal to adjourn the council was under con- sideration, when the opinion of Colonel Dav- enport was asked, he said, "1 am against an adjournment. The day of judgment is either approaching, or it is not. If it is not here. there is no cause for adjournment. If it is l choose to be found doing my duty. I wish therefore that candles be brought." He held his last court at Danbury, where he heard a considerable part of a trial; gave the charge to the jury, then retired from the bench and was soon after found dead in his bed, Novem- ber 20, 1789, aged seventy-four years. He held the title of A. B. from Yale ; deacon from the church ; colonel from the state and honor- able from his long public service. He was best known as Colonel Davenport and greatly be- loved, especially by the young. He married (first), at Windham, Connecticut, November 16, 1750, Elizabeth Huntington, whose mother was a daughter of Rev. Timothy Edwards and the sister of President Jonathan Edwards; she died December 17. 1773 ; he married (second ), August 8, 1776, a widow, Mrs. Martha Fitch. Child by first wife: John, of further mention.
(V) John (4), son of Colonel Abraham and Elizabeth (Huntington ) Davenport, was born in Stamford, Connecticut, January 16, 1752 ; graduate of Yale College, 1770, where he was appointed tutor in 1773. He was major of militia during the revolution. In 1799 he was elected to congress, to fill the vacancy caused by the death of his brother, Hon. James Dav- enport. Here he was continued for eighteen years. He served on important committees, but was more known as a worker than as a de- bater. Ile declined reelection in 1817, and spent the remainder of his life at his country home in Stamford, where he had the honor to welcome and entertain General Lafayette. He was a lawyer by profession; deacon of the Congregational church; a benevolent, active and exemplary Christian ; died November 28,

HASBROUCK This is a very old family in southern New York and was founded by Abraham and Jean Hasbrouck, brothers, who were among the original patentees of New Paltz, Ulster county, and were active in both civil and ecclesiastical affairs of that section. Both left a large progeny and their descendants have to some extent intermarried. From Ulster the family spread to Orange. Dutchess and other counties in the vicinity, and is now very numer- ously represented throughout the region. The family was conspicuous in the settlement and development of St. Lawrence county, and of various sections of Central New York. Abra- ham and Jean Hasbrouck were born in Calais, France, of which town their father was also a native. The latter with his two sons, above named, and a daughter, who was the wife of Pierre Hayaar, was driven out of France by the persecutions of the Huguenots, and re- moved to Mannheim, Germany, in the lower palatinate, and there they resided several years, being highly respected and affiliating with the local churches. Numerous other families were similarly situated and a considerable group
migrated to the new world in the latter part of the seventeenth century, settling in Ulster county, New York. Jean, with his wife, Anna Duyon (Deyo) Hasbrouck, removed in 1673 from Germany and settled at Esopus, New York.
(I) Abraham Hasbrouck removed from Mannheim to Holland, whence he sailed in April, 1675, landing at Boston, Massachusetts, thence he proceeded direct to New York, and, in July, arrived at Esopus, where he found his brother and many old former Europeon friends. In 1677 a group of these including the Has- brouck brothers obtained a patent from Gov- ernor Andros to a large tract south of Kings- ton, where they settled and named the place New Paltz. Here they formed what was known as the Walloon Protestant Church after the name and discipline of the church at Geneva, a Calvinistic organization. For about half a century until after the death of the Has- brouck brothers the services of this church were conducted in the French language, after which it was changed to the Dutch language. Abraham Hasbrouck was a member of the provincial assembly, and was major of the Ulster county regiment of militia. He died at New Paltz, March 17, 1717. He married, No- vember 17, 1675, at Hurley, Marie, daughter of Christian Deyo, whom he had known in Europe, and who came to this country on the same vessel with him. She was probably a sister of his brother's wife. Children : Rachel, baptized May 12, 1680, in New York; Anna, baptized October 9. 1682, in Kingston, died young : Joseph, baptized October 23, 1684, in New Paltz : Solomon, October 17. 1686 ; Jonas, October 14, 1691 : Benjamin, mentioned below. Some others died in infancy.
(11) Benjamin, youngest surviving child of Abraham and Marie ( Deyo) Hasbrouck, was baptized May 31, 1696, in New Paltz, and was one of the original grantees of the Rumbout Patent, in what is now Dutchess county. About 1720 he settled near Hopewell, in the present town of Fishkill, where he married, February 13. 1737, Jannetje De Long ( sometimes writ- ten De Lange). Children : Daniel ; Benjamin ; John; Jacob; Mary, married John Halstead ; Heiltje, married Dr. Nathaniel House : Francis.
(III) Daniel, eldest child of Benjamin and Jannetje (De Long) Hasbrouck, was born about 1738, in Fishkill, and there resided on the paternal homestead. He married Diana Van Vlecken and their family included : Tunis,

John, Emeline, Durand, Catherine, Eliza and Charles Whiting. The second daughter be- came the wife of John F. Benjamin, later a representative in congress from Shelbina, Mis- souri. The youngest son was a manufacturer of Syracuse.
(IV) John, second son of Daniel and Diana (Van Vlecken) Hasbrouck, was born Septem- ber 15, 1777, and became a hatter by trade. He located in Onondaga county, New York, where he passed his life, and died December 23. 1865. He married. July 4. 1810, Mary Baekus, of Athens, New York.
(V) Daniel Backus, son of John and Mary ( Backus) Hasbrouck, was born January 30, 1819, at West Hill, Onondaga county. When about fourteen years old Daniel B. Hasbrouck worked his passage from his home in Onon- daga county over the Erie canal to New York by driving on the tow path six hours and alter- nately resting for a like period. This was in 1832, the cholera year, and since that time he has obtained a very conspicuous position among the business men of Greater New York. On account of the cholera quarantine in New York, he did not reach the city until October 5, 1832, though he left Albany in the spring. In the meantime he was employed as a boat- man. On arriving here he took up his resi- dence with a cousin, Charles E. Hasbrouck, and first served two years in a wholesale gro- eery house, which was located at No. 52 Front street. In 1835 he engaged with Wilson & Cobb, with whom he continued until 1840. He was a witness of the great fire in 1835, which destroyed every business building in the lower part of the city, except John Benson's copper plate works on Water street. Returning to Onondaga county, in 1840, Mr. Hasbrouck engaged in the manufacture of salt and other lines of commercial business. In 1851 he re- turned to New York, and both before and after the civil war was a potential factor in the business development of Brooklyn. He was a volunteer in the Old City Fire Depart- ment for a term of seven years, and during the civil war was officially connected with the office of police commissioner of Brooklyn, ren- dering much service to the Union cause. Dur- ing this time, by his personal efforts, he secured the enlistment of many persons who were brought before the courts, and he was largely instrumental in the recruiting of five com- panies of infantry and two of cavalry. From 1870 to 1876 Mr. Hasbrouck had charge of
the bureau of election, serving two terms of three years each on a salary of five thousand dollars a year. During the war he was con- temptuously called a black Republican, but his services at that time and subsequently have been more fully appreciated since, and this epithet is now changed in character to be a title of honor. Very early in his career Mr. Hasbrouck became interested in street rail- roads, and his interest in that connection has been extended until he is identified with nearly every street transportation system in Greater New York. He is vice-president of the New York City Railway Company : president and director of the Broadway and Seventh Avenue Railroad Company, Kingsbridge Railway Com- pany, and Metropolitan Street Railway Com- pany. He is vice-president and director of the Bleecker Street and Fulton Ferry Railway Company : Central Park, North and East River Railroad Company : Dry Dock. East Broadway and Battery Railroad : Forty-second Street and Grand Street Ferry Railroad Company; Ful- ton Street Railroad Company; Third Avenue Railroad Company : Thirty-fourth Street Cross- town Railway: Twenty-eighth Street and Twenty-ninth Street Crosstown Railroad Com- pany: Twenty-third Street Railway Company. He is a director of the Bronx Traction Com- pany; Hudson River and Long Island Sound Railroad Company : Union Railway Company of New York, and West Eighty-sixth Street Railway Company. For some years Mr. Has- brouck has been retired from active business. but his keen preception and broad business ex- perience are still valuable in the management of these various transportation systems. His genial and affable manners have brought to him and retained many strong friends, and he is widely esteemed in the financial world, both as a citizen and a business man.
He married, in 1851, Sarah, daughter of Jacob Bergen, whose farmhouse stood where Hoyt and Sackett streets now meet in Brook- lyn. In the year following his marriage Mr. Hasbrouck erected his present residence on that corner. It is a commodious and elegant struc- ture, one of the largest in that section of the city. The original farm of Jacob Bergen in- cluded one hundred acres of land reaching from the canal to the homestead of Mr. Strana- han and north from Fourth street to Baltie street. The seetion was rapidly built up and this farm was eventually divided into one hundred and eighty lots, eighteen going to each

of the heirs. Mr. Hasbrouck's children were as follows: I. Louise, born 1852, became the wife of Frederick Hall Lane, and is now de- ceased, leaving a son, Frederick Hall Lane. 2. Julia, born 1856, married Frank B. Jackson, and her son Herbert now resides with Mr. Hasbrouck, on the old homestead. 3. Mary, died in childhood. The mother died in 1899.
CHENEY The American ancestor of the Cheneys of Cortland was Will- iam Cheney, of Roxbury, Mas- sachusetts, born in England, date, place and ancestry unknown. John Cheney, of Roxbury, same date, is not known to have been a rela- tive, although the inference would be they were brothers, both being Englishmen. Will- iam Cheney was an early settler of Roxbury, Massachusetts, where he was a landholder be- fore 1640. His name is found in the earliest records of the town that have been preserved. An entry in the book says it was bought in 1639, but the earliest entries are not dated. The page on which William is first entered is preceded by one dated 1640 and followed by one dated 1642. "William Cheiney" is credit- ed there with owning twenty-four and one- half acres. He was one of the subscribers, in 1645, toward the fund for the support of the Roxbury Free School, and one of the few men who specially guaranteed the payments of their yearly subscriptions. In 1648 he was elected assessor ; in 1655 he was appointed constable ; 1657, elected selectman ; in 1666 he was made a freeman of the colony, having a short time previously joined the church. His wife had, however, joined in 1644, which gave the chil- dren the right of baptism in the church. He died, according to the entry made by the town clerk, "William Cheney aged 63 years ; died June the 30th day, 1667." His wife Margaret survived him and married (second) a Mr. Burge, whom she also survived. Children: I.

( 11) Thomas, son of William and Margaret Cheney, died 1695. He lived in Roxbury for a few years after his marriage, then removed to Cambridge, now Brighton, and within the limits of the city of Boston. Here his after life was spent with the exception of a few years in Roxbury with his widowed invalid mother. He served on various committees in Roxbury and Cambridge, united with the Cam- bridge church, was made a freeman, and, in 1675, served in Captain Johnson's Roxbury company of soldiers, who marched from Bos- ton, July 6. 1675. for Mt. Hope, King Philip's stronghold, and rendered gallant service in the December fight, where Captain Johnson was killed. His will is dated November 6, 1693. and, March 4, 1695, an inventory of his estate was filed. He married, in Roxbury, January II, 1655, Jane Atkinson, who died in the latter part of July. 1724.
