Mrs. Emily T. (Hodge) GRUMMOND Grummond. of Bingham- ton, descends from the Hol- land family of Race, and the English family of Hodge. The first Race to appear in Central New York was Derrick, son of Nicholas Race. born June 24, 1770, died June 17, 1857. He is said to have come to the town of Greene. Chenango county. from Egremont, Massachu- setts, in 1794. The name Race is given in

NEW YORK.


Chamber's "Early Germans of New Jersey," as having been originally spelled Rees, but pro- nounced Race. Jacob Race is mentioned as early as 1656, and the presumption is strong that the family is from Holland and a part of the earliest Dutch emigration. All biographers of the Rees family claim they were of Welsh ancestry. Many of the name served in the revolution from New York, both as Rees and Race, and other varied forms of spelling.


(1) Derrick Race was a surveyor, and, on coming to New York state, settled in Greene, Chenango county, on a farm two miles from the village of Greene, later owned and occu- pied by his son, Derrick (2), known as the Race farm, where he died. He was a very religious man and one of the active, influential members of the Episcopal church. He mar- ried Hannah Smith, born July 2. 1770, died January 7, 1861. Children: 1. Nicholas, died April 24, 1873. aged seventy-nine years. 2. William B., married a Miss Tillotson, and at the age of eighty-four years was living in the town of Oxford, Chenango county. 3. Lucretia, married Erastus Tremaine. 4. Abigail, mar- ried William Race. 5. George T., married Hannah Bates, and died June 2. 1850, aged forty-nine years. 6. Derrick (2), married Catherine Sholes, and had the homestead farm. 7. Samuel S., of further mention. 8. Christina, married Erastus Brown. 9. Charles T., mar- ried Melissa Wheeler. 10. Stephen A., mar- ried Lucy Ann Gray.


(II) Samuel Smith, fifth son of Derrick and Hannah (Smith) Race, was born on the Race homestead, in Greene, Chenango county, New York, in 1804, died July 31, 1877. He followed the occupation of a farmer all his active years, and was a member of the Baptist church. He married, about 1828, Urana Vose. born 1806, daughter of Henry and Urana (Barlow) Vose. Henry Vose was a sea cap- tain, and, during the revolution, his vessel carried arms and supplies for the continental troops. Children: 1. Emily T., born October 22, 1830, died 1856; married Hial Hodge. 2. Henry Derrick, born November 24, 1832 ; mar- ried Ann Maria Moore. 3. Ann Eliza, of fur- ther mention. 4. Charlotte Lucretia, born June 19, 1840. 5. Ethan Clark, born November 17. 1842; married Martha Sholes ; child, Ernest. 6. Harriet Elizabeth, born May 17, 1845 ; mar- ried Peter Wheeler ; child, Emily.


(III) Ann Eliza, daughter of Samuel Smith and Urana (Vose) Race, was born October 8.


1835. died April 16, 1911. She married Hial Hodge (second wife ). Children : 1. Emily T., of further mention. 2. Hial Cecelia, married William Colan Willis ; she died April 13, 1908.


(IV) Emily T., daughter of Hial and Ann Eliza ( Race) Hodge, was born in Greene. Chenango county, New York. She married Fred W., son of Nathaniel and llarriet ( Bar- rows) Grummond. He was born September 14, 1854, at Kattleville, town of Chenango. Broome county, New York ; died at Bingham- ton. New York. April 27, 1902. When but five years of age, upon the death of his mother. he was sent to live with his grandparents, at McDonough, Chenango county, where he re- mained until 1863, when he removed to Bing- hamton and secured his education in the public schools. Of industrious and exemplary habits he carly laid the foundation, broad and deep. upon which he built a model and successful career in business, social and masonic life. He began his business life as traveling salesman for Charles Butler, cigar and tobacco manu- facturer, covering the territory known as south- ern New York and northern Pennsylvania, at a time when the horse and wagon was the method of travel. So successful was he in this enterprise that the then large firm of Westcott & Kent eagerly received his services. and he enjoyed the distinction of being the first trading salesman to leave Binghamton with cigars for the wholesale trade. Upon the dis- solution of that firm he remained with the junior partner until he was taken in as a mem- ber of the firm of Westcott, Son & Company. He remained with them until 1886, when, in company with John Hull Jr. and Charles A. Hull, he formed the copartnership of Hull. Grummond & Company, with whom he con- tinned until his death.


He received the degree of Master Mason in Otseningo Lodge, No. 435, November 21, 1889. at the city of Binghamton, New York, and, September 9, 1890, was made a Royal Arch Mason in Binghamton, Chapter No. 139. At Ithaca, New York, he was made a Royal and Select Master, April 29, 1892, in Ithaca Coun- cil, No. 21. On September 30. 1890, Malte Commandery, No. 21, of the city of Bingham- ton, New York, made him a Knight Templar. He received the degrees in the Scottish Rite, February 20, 1891, in Otseningo Bodies Valley. of Binghamton, New York, and later had con- ferred upon him the thirty-third degree, the highest in the gift of the order. At Buffalo.

NEW YORK.


New York, September 18, 1895, he was cre- ated a sovereign grand inspector general, this office being held only by thirty-third degree men. He held the office of venerable junior grand warder of Otseningo Lodge of Perfec- tion, Valley of Binghamton, during the years of 1893 and 1894, and, January 4, 1895, was elected thrice potent grand master, by dispen- sation from Illustrious John Hodge, thirty- third degree, deputy for the state of New York, and was continuously reelected to that office until his illness compelled him to give up his active work. He also held the office of illustrious minister of state and grand orator of Otseningo Consistory, Valley of Bingham- ton, during the years 1893 to 1897. But it was as thrice potent grand master that the Scottish Rite, in the Valley of Binghamton, profited most by his valuable services, bringing to that office the same abundant enthusiasm and true energy that characterized his rapid and snc- cessful rise in business. He entered upon the discharge of the duties of that office with such resolute determination, yet courteous and aff- able consideration for all, that the impetus then given has grown and fostered, extending to all branches of the Rite, until the Otseningo bodies stand second to none.


(The Hodge Line).


Hial Hodge was a direct descendant, in male line, from John Hodge, of Windsor, and Suf- field. Connecticut. He was of English birth and ancestry, coming to America prior to 1666, as in that year he married : died in Lyme, Con- necticut, between the years 1692 and 1694. In 1663 he was a resident of Middlesex county, Connecticut, where he held several parcels of land. In 1666 he visited Windsor, where he married and returned, with his young wife, to his home in the then called "Hammanasset Wilderness" ( Killingworth), where they re- mained until 1670, then moved to Windsor, where his wife's parents were living and own- ed a large tract of land, a good portion of which is now the town of Windsor Locks, eighty acres of which they gave their dangh- ter and son-in-law. John Hodge is named as one of the first grantors of the town of Suf- field, which adjoined Windsor, on the north. He was living in Suffield as late as 1685, and, in 1688 and in 1691, paid personal taxes in Lyme, where he was no doubt living at the time. He married, August 12, 1666, Susanna, born September 3. 1646, daughter of Henry


Denslow, who was killed by the Indians in Windsor, Connecticut, April 4, 1676. Henry Denslow was born in England, 1615, came to America in 1630, son of Nicholas Denslow. John and Susanna Hodge were the parents of eleven children.


(II) Thomas, son of John and Susanna ( Denslow) Hodge, was born February 13. 1673, died May 2, 1712. He settled in New Haven or vicinity earlier than June 25, 1694. as he made a purchase of land on that date. Ile married Judith , and reared a fam- ily of nine children.


(HHI) Thomas (2), son of Thomas ( I ) and Judith Hodge, was born March 28, 1701, died in or near New Haven, Connecticut, 1754. He married Mary - -- , who, October 12, 1735, is named as a communicant of the First Epis- copal Church, in West Haven. They were the parents of six children.


(IV) David, son of Thomas (2) and Mary Hodge, was a minor in July, 1768, when he had the court appoint him a guardian. He served in the revolutionary war, and. March 22, 1819, was placed on the pension roll. He was then a resident of Litchfield county, Con- necticut, and from the roll of that county was transferred to the pension roll of Chenango county, New York, where he died. He mar- ricd Amy Webster, who had land deeded her in 1793.


(V) David (2), son of David (1) and Amy (Webster) Hodge, was born in Connecticut. He removed to New York state, with his par- ents, and settled in Chenango county. He married Lydia Brown. Children: 1. Marvin, (lied young. 2. Roxanny, born 1819: married David Niven. 3. Emma, born 1822; married Samuel Gifford. 4. Hial, of whom further. 5. Richard, married Cornelia Smith. 6.

Race, who died 1856; married (second) Ann Eliza Race, born October 8, 1835. Children : 1. Emily T .. married Fred W. Grummond. 2. Hial Cecelia. married William Colan Willis.


Valentine has been a per- VALENTINE sonal name from time im- memorial, and its original meaning was strong, robust, powerful. Valen- tinus was a learned and eloquent Alexandrian, born A. D. 140. St. Valentine was a presbyter or bishop, who flourished about the middle of the third century and suffered martyrdom in the year 270. Three Roman emperors were named Valentinian. The name, with slight variations, is found in France, Spain, Ger- many and Holland, as well as England. The name has been used as a surname from the very beginning also, and some of the French and Dutch branches may have taken their name from the town of Valentine, in the de- partment of Haute Garonne, France. Benja- min Valentine, the progenitor of the New York and Westchester county families, was doubtless born in Holland, but is said to have served in the French army. John Valentine, of Boston, was admitted a freeman in 1675, and from him a numerous family, in New England, is descended. It is not unlikely that both Boston and Long Island Valentines are descended from the Valentines of Lancashire. England. Richard Valentine, of Lancashire. made his will in 1520, married Anne Hop- wood, and bequeathed his estate to his son Thomas, who in turn bequeathed it to his son Richard in 1550. Richard Valentine. of Ben- cliffe, sixth in descent from the first Richard, baptized June 16, 1675, was high sheriff of Lancashire, bequeathed to his kinsman, Thomas Valentine Clark, of Franckford, county Sligo, and the latter, in 1773, devised to Samuel Valentine, of Boston, Massachusetts.


(I) Richard Valentine, immigrant ancestor, was of English birth and ancestry. He was born about 1620, and, it is believed, that he is a descendant of Richard Valentine, of the par- ish of Eccles, Lancashire, England, from whom the New England Valentines are also descend- ed. Other English settlers at Hempstead, Long Island, where he located. came from Lanca-


shire. Richard Valentine had a share in the first division of land at Hempstead, in 1646, and later owned land at Merrick, in company with Richard Cornell. He was one of the five townsmen in 1659, an overseer in 1676, and constable in 1679. He married soon after coming to this country, probably Sarah


There is a tradition in the family that his orig- inal farm comprised six hundred acres. He died in 1684. intestate, apparently having divid- ed his land by deed, for, in the tax list of 1685. we find the widow of Richard Valentine as- sessed for forty acres ; his sons, Ephraim for forty acres, Obadiah for forty-four, William forty, and Richard, seventy-one acres. It was the custom to give the eldest son a double por- tion. In February, 1679, Jonah Valentine, of Hempstead, petitioned the governor for a grant of one hundred acres of land. The records show fairly positive proof of the English origin of the Valentines. He was complained of, be- fore the Dutch governor-general and council of New Netherlands, July 7, 1674. for refus- ing to put in execution a judgment against one. Jeremy Wood, and for uttering these seditious words: "Is it in the name of the King of Eng- land? For I will do nothing in the name of the Prince or of the States of Holland." No record of punishment follows, however. Rich- ard Valentine bought five acres of meadow of Thomas Ellison. March 14, 1658. Children : I. Richard Jr., mentioned below. 2. Obadiah, (lied 1743. leaving a will ; has many descend- ants. 3. William. 4. Ephraim, died 1729, leaving a will and bequeathing to wife Rachel and children Richard, William, Ichabod, Eph- raim and Phebe. 5. Jonah, mentioned above. 6. Deborah, married, 1674. William Foster. In a valuation of Hempstead, October II, 1683, just before his death, Richard Sr. is given as the owner of thirty-four acres of land. six oxen, eight cows, three colts, etc.


(II) Richard (2), son of Richard ( 1) Val- entine, was born in Hempstead, Long Island. about 1646, and was doubtless the eldest son. In 1702 he was one of a grand jury raised espe- cially to indict Samuel Bownes, an itinerant Quaker preacher, who came into that region. but instead of doing so the jury indorsed the paper "Ignoramus," and returned it to the judge, utterly refusing to have anything to do with such dirty work. Many of Richard's descendants were Quakers. Richard is called a yeoman in a deed, dated 1706, at Hemp-

stead. His will, dated 1725. bequeaths to chil- dren : Richard, David, Jonathan, Sarah Smith, Phebe Downing. Anne Carle, Hannah Pine.


(111) Richard (3), son of Richard (2) Val- entine, was born at Hempstead, about 1675- 80, and lived at Hempstead Harbor, Long Island. He lived to a great age, surviving his son Richard. We find mention of a "sister Ann Pearsall," but not of his wife's name. His will was dated in 1768. He bequeathed to the following : Son Richard, mentioned below : Phebe, widow of his son Richard, and her children ; grandchildren George and Richard Weeks ( children of his daughter Deborah, who married, 1736, Samuel Weeks, and whose daughter. Abigail Weeks, married, 1770, Rich- ard Titus) : grandchildren Richard Kirk, Je- mima Baker and Abigail Weeks.


(IV) Richard (4). son of Richard ( 3) Val- entine, was born about 1720, and died in 1763. He married Phebe ------ , and as he mentions his brother-in-law, Benjamin Robbins, it is assumed that her maiden name was Robbins. His will, dated at Hempstead, in 1763. men- tions his son Richard and "small" children, evidently not named; also daughters Abigail. Sarah, Mary, Phebe and Martha.


(V) Joseph, son of Richard (4) Valentine. was born at North Hempstead, January 6. 1750. Richard Valentine (his brother ) was living at North Hempstead, and made a deed in 1806; was a taxpayer there in 1786; died October 20. 1812, aged seventy-seven, at New- town. Joseph Valentine left home when a young man, and, in 1775, was located at Pough- keepsie, New York, where he enlisted in Cap- tain Swartwout's company, in the revolution- ary war. He appears either to have served about a year, or to have obtained a furlough. for he was married July 11, 1776. Afterward he lived for a short time in Chatham. Columbia county, New York, but finally settled perma- nently in the town of Jackson, Washington county, New York. From him practically all the Washington county Valentines are descend- ed. Many spell the name "Volentine," and, it is said, that as so many of the family were Tories during the revolution, Joseph himself changed the spelling in protest against the course of his relatives. Children, born at Jackson: Daniel, June 2, 1777: Elias, Janu- ary 10. 1779: Phebe, April 20, 1782; John A .. mentioned below; Betsey, May 27. 1786: Ste- phen, July 11, 1788; Joel.

Prudence, October 26, 1798; Lydia, Novem- ber 16, 1800; Harvey. June 28, 1803.


(VI) John A., son of Joseph Valentine, was born at Jackson, Washington county, New York, March 16, 1784. He settled in the town of Berlin, Chenango county, New York, and followed farming. He died there in the prime of life in 1815. He married Temperance Bron- son, whose ancestors were from Connecticut. Children : Esther. Rhoda, Phebe, Hiram, John A., mentioned below : William, and Minerva.


(\'Il) John A. (2), son of John A. (1) Valentine, was born in New Berlin, Chenango county, New York, August 14. 1813, and died in Harford. Cortland county, New York. Janu- ary 14, 1889. He received a common school education in the district schools of his native town, and he lived there until 1835. when he came to Marathon. Cortland county. Six years before his death he left Marathon and made his home in Harford, where he spent the re- mainder of his life. He was actively engaged in farming up to the time of his death. He married (first) Rhoda Salisbury, born in Cin- cinnatus, now Marathon, New York, February 23, 1815, died January 14. 1867, daughter of Silas and Lydia (Dodge) Salisbury. Her father was born June 26, 1784. probably in Connecticut, married, February 19, 1807, Lydia Dodge, born in Connecticut, February 3. 1786. Her parents came to Cincinnatus, New York, in 1807. and afterward removed to White- water, Wisconsin, where her father died about 1854, and her mother in 1877. Children of Silas and Lydia ( Dodge) Salisbury : Amanda. Ansil, Oliver, Nelson, Rhoda, Elisha, George. Mary Jane, Christopher. Silas, Samuel and Lydia.

He attended the public schools of his native town and the Marathon Academy, and, during his youth, worked on his father's farm. lle was a merchant at Marathon for seven years, and afterward engaged in busi- ness as a builder and electrical engineer.

(The Kennedy Line).


(1) Daniel Kennedy, immigrant ancestor, came to Salem, Massachusetts, before 1679, for, in that year, he appears to have had an allotment of land at Suffield. Connecticut. He died at Salem, June 11, 1695. lle married, November 10, 1681, at Salem, Hannah, born September, 1658, daughter of Henry and Judith ( Birdsall ) Cooke, of Salem. The Salem rec- ords are defective and nothing further has been learned of him. His widow may have gone to Connecticut, where his sons settled ( see "Essex Hist.
