The Christeys are of English CHRISTEY descent, the family having long been seated in that country. They were people of standing and wealth, among their holdings being St. Cath- erine's Docks, Liverpool, an entailed property that was held in the family three hundred years. The Christeys of Buffalo, herein traced, descend from Joseph Christey, born in Eng- land, died in Buffalo, where a monument in Forest Lawn marks his resting place. He was a banker and broker in England, and an officer in the Home Guard. He came to America in 1832, settling in Toronto, Canada. He did not long remain there, but with his family came to the United States, living in New York City and at Albany, New York, where his youngest child, Arthur, was born. He intended to return to Toronto with his family, but changed his plans and came to Buffalo, where he lived a retired life, dying in 1856 at the age of seventy-five years. He was reared in the Church of England, and in Buffalo was connected with St. Paul's Protestant Episcopal Church. He married, in England, Ann Chiper- field, daughter of Everard John and Ann Ol- landsby, who bore him eleven children, born in England, one in the United States, and she died in Toronto in 1834, aged thirty-seven.


(II) Arthur, youngest son of Joseph and Ann (Chiperfield) Christey, was born in Al- bany, New York, July 12, 1833. He attended the public school, and at an early age was ap- prenticed to the printer's trade. From that time until his retirement from business he was identified with the printing and publishing business. Until he was twenty-two years of age he was connected with Thomas & Lathrop's printing house, but the failure of the concern threw him out of employment. While with this company he became acquaint- ed, through business dealings, with the L. L. Brown Paper Company, of Adams, Massachu- setts, who, after the failure referred to, brought him in contact with E. D. Jenks, of Adams. They formed a partnership and es- tablished in Buffalo a wholesale paper house. The firm of Christey & Jenks became well known in Western New York as the largest concern of its kind in the state. They con- tinned in successful business until about 1861, when Mr. Christey bought his partner's in- terest and continued business under the firm name of Arthur Christey. Mr. Christey was also heavily interested in the printing and


.


publishing business of Buffalo. He published the Live Stock Journal, and was connected with the firm of Hans, Kelly & Company, later Haus, Kelly & Christey, later Haus, Nauert & Klein, who founded the paper that has since developed into the Buffalo Times. He was a principal owner in the Christey Stationery Company, and invented many de- vices in the way of clasps, filing devices, and a perpetual calendar. He printed and copy- righted a great many pamphlets on various subjects. He retired from business in 1891, and still (1911) continues his residence in Buffalo. He led an active business life and accomplished an immense amount of work. Tle was highly regarded in business circles, and is known as one of Buffalo's pioneer busi- ness men in the paper, printing and publish- ing business. He was a Democrat until 1860, when he voted for Abraham Lincoln, and has ever since acted with the Republican party. He was for many years a member of St. Paul's Church, and was married there by the Rev. Dr. Shelton, but in later years connected with the Church of the Ascension, of which he was a vestryman.


He married, December 19, 1854, Fanny Lance Bryant, who, like himself, was the youngest of a family of twelve. She was born in Toronto, Canada, July 28, 1835, youngest child of Joseph and Elizabeth Lance Bryant, and died in Buffalo, June 22, 1904. Joseph Bryant and his family came from England in 1832. Mr. Bryant was a banker and broker in England, but did not engage in any busi- ness after coming to the United States. He is buried in Forest Lawn, as is his daughter, Mrs. Christey. Children of Arthur and Fanny L. Christey : I. Elizabeth Anstey, married Wil- lard Way Hodge; children: Elizabeth and Shurly Christey Hodge. 2. Fanny Augusta, died in infancy. 3. Ella Gertrude. 4. Arthur Bryant.


(IV) Captain Arthur Bryant Christey, only son of Arthur and Fanny Lance (Bryant) Christey, was born in Buffalo, August 6, 1868. He was educated in the public schools, and the Buffalo Classical School, kept by Professor Horace Briggs. He was for a time in his fa- ther's employ, and in 1891 was cashier and bookkeeper for the R. W. Bell Manufacturing Company, of Buffalo. In 1892 he entered the employ of the Empire State Savings Bank, as general bookkeeper. In 1898 he served in the Spanish-American war, returning to the em-

ploy of the Empire Bank. From 1899-1901 he was in the Philippines (see forward). In 1903 he was appointed deputy comptroller of the city of Buffalo, holding the same until the close of 1905. Owing to a change in the city administration he was not reappointed, but served as chief bookkeeper in the comptroller's office continuously, 1906-09 inclusive. In 1910 he was again appointed deputy comptroller, which office he now holds ( 1911).


Mr. Christey enlisted in the New York Na- tional Guard in Company F, Sixty-fifth Regi- ment, December 1, 1885. On March 19, 1888, he was commissioned first lieutenant : May 24. 1893, adjutant of the regiment.

Captain Christey is a Republi- can in politics, and a member of the Episcopal church.


PRENDERGAST Members of the Pren- dergast family were prominent in the early history of Chautauqua county. The American ancestor, William Prendergast, was born in Ireland, and after coming to the United States he with others explored many sections of northern New York and states lying south and west, finally settling along the shores of Lake Chautauqua. The story of their wan- derings in search of a favorable location, their adventures with the wild things of the forest. their hardships and privations would make a wonderful story of adventure. One of the family. James Prendergast, became the founder of Jamestown. New York, where numerous memorials to his memory are found.


(II) William, son of Thomas and Mary Prendergast, was born in Waterford, Ire- land, February 2, 1727, died in the town of Chautauqua, Chautauqua county, New York, February 14, 1811. He had uncles, James, Robert and Jeffrey Prendergast, all of whom lived in Ireland. On coming to America he settled in Pawling, Dutchess county, New York, where he followed farming and lived for many years. Late in life he moved to Rensselaer county, New York, some of his sons living there and in Washington county. When he was seventy-eight years of age he be- came a settler of Chautauqua county. This was in 1806, the family holdings in the town of Chautauqua aggregating about thirty-five hundred acres, lying along the shores of Lake Chautauqua, near the present grounds of the world famous Chautauqua Assembly. Chau- tauqua county was not the intended destination of the old pioneer when he left Rensselaer county in 1805, but the state of Tennessee was his objective point. The party included four sons of William Prendergast, five daughters, sons-in-law, grandchildren, and a slave, Tom, led by this wonderful man of seventy-eight years. They numbered twenty-nine persons and traveled in canvas wagons, some requiring four horses to draw. They took a course across New York and Pennsylvania to Wheel- ing, West Virginia, where they took flat boats and descended the Ohio to Louisville, from there went overland to a point near Nashville, Tennessee, their intended destination. After their long journey it was a great disappoint- ment to find conditions so unfavorable that the thought of remaining was not for a mo- ment considered. They took their course through Kentucky, Ohio and Pennsylvania to Erie, which they reached in the late fall of 1805. In 1806 they settled in the town of Chautauqua, although William Prendergast and several of the family had passed the pre- vious winter in Canada. The sons each took separate tracts of land, much of it heavily- timbered, but all adjoining.
