(XXXIX ) William Frederick, son of John Edward Russell, was born in Monticello, New York, October 25, 1817, and is now living in Greene, New York. He received his educa- tion in the public schools of Monticello, and for a short time went to business college. In 1851 he moved to Greene. where he has since lived. In 1859 Colonel Joseph Juliand estab- lished the Juliand Bank, and was aided by his son-in-law. Mr. Russell, in carrying on the business until the death of Colonel Juliand, February 13. 1870. At this time Joseph E. Juliand succeeded to his father's interest, and a co-partnership was formed under the firm name of Russell & Juliand, which was con- tinued until 1893, when it was made a state bank, with Mr. Russell as vice-president. The original business was carried on in a build- ing fitted up from a store standing on the northeast corner of Genesee and Chenango streets. This building was completely de- stroyed by fire. December 25, 1892, and the present three-story brick block was erected on the site. Mr. Russell has seen continuous service in the interests of the Juliand Bank for the past fifty years. The corporation has resources of over $250,000, and celebrated its fiftieth anniversary in 1909, with a brief his- torical report, also showing its present pros- perous condition. In politics Mr. Russell is a Democrat. He has had several offices, among which we might mention: President of the corporation of the village of Greene; trustee of schools, and treasurer of the town and the school district. He is senior warden in the Episcopal church.
Mr. Russell married, October 17. 1849, Cornelia Juhel Juliand, daughter of Jo- seph and Anna Maria ( Perkins ) Juli- and. She was born in Greene, Novem- ber 24. 1826, and died May 18. 1909.

Edward Munyan, or Munyon, MUNYAN the first of the name in New England and progenitor of all the colonial families of this surname, settled in Salem, Massachusetts, about 1700, accord- ing to the "History of Windham County, Con- necticut." He was a weaver by trade. In 1721 he came to Windham county and bought a liundred acres of land east of John Has- kell's, in Quinnatisset, now Thompson, Con- necticut. With him came a son and two daughters. He appears to have left one or more sons in Salem, for during the revolu- tion Gabriel and Edmund Munyan, doubtless his descendants, served in Essex county regi- ments from Massachusetts. The journey through the wilderness in 1721 was beset with danger and difficulties. The roads were poor and the travel laborious and long. He had six cows, ten sheep and four hogs, besides
his household goods, to transport. As he went from town to town he hired oxen to draw his goods. The wolves pestered his cattle. He built a log house and planted corn in the spring.
(II) Joseph, son of Edward Munyan, born before 1700, came to Killingly, now Thomp- son, Connecticut, with his parents in 1721. He settled there, and as early as 1739 built him- self a frame house. His home was in Kill- ingly, near the Rhode Island line. He appears to have had sons Israel and Jonathan, who stayed in Killingly, and doubtless other chil- dren.
(III) Jonathan, son of Joseph Munyan, was born in Thompson, then Killingly, about 1740. He was one of the petitioners for the establish- ment of a Sixth Principle Baptist Church at Thompson in June, 1772, and two years later was appointed on the building committee.
(IV) John, son or nephew of Jonathan Munyan, was born in Thompson, in 1773, and died December 4, 1803. He removed from Thompson before 1790 to Northampton, Mas- sachusetts.

Ohio, of which he was one of the early settlers. He was a builder and contractor, and was in business at Ravenna and Charles- town, Ohio. He held the office of justice of the peace.

(II) Daniel D., son of Major Snell, was born at Ballston, Saratoga county, New York, in September, 1832, and died at Albany, New York, August 23, 1873. He was a blacksmith by trade, and discovered the process for weld- ing steel flues. During the civil war he en- listed in the Union army, but on account of his skill as an ironworker and his expert- ness in welding steel flues he was dis-
snaded from serving in the army in order to follow his trade, at the urgent request of the New York Central Railroad Company. He resided in Albany during most of his active life. He married. in 1855, Mary Ann Doo- lan. who was born in Limerick, Ireland, in 1838, and died July 3, 1870, daughter of Mi- chael and Elizabeth (AlcNamara) Doolan.

(III ) Charles Edward, son of Daniel D. Snell, was born in Albany, New York, Au- gust 19, 1868. He attended the public schools of his native city, and learned the trade of printer in the office of the Mechanicsville Mer- cury. After three years of apprenticeship there he worked for a year at book printing in Glens Falls, New York. For three years he was secretary of the Young Men's Christian Asso- ciation at Mount Kisco, New York, and for two years editor and manager of the Upper Hudson Mail, Mechanicsville. In 1893 he en- tered the employ of the Remington Typewriter Company at Ilion, New York. After four years with this concern and five years as special agent of the Mutual Life Insurance Company of New York, with offices at Al- bany, he returned in 1902 to the Remington Typewriter Company for two years. In 1904 he came to Oxford, New York, as foreman of the Oxford Times, published by T. B. Gal- pin. Two years later he had an offer of edi- tor and manager of the East Syracuse News, but instead he bought the Orford Press, which was immediately merged with the Orford Times, under the ownership of the firm of Galpin & Snell. In 1909 the firm was dis- solved and the business incorporated under the name of the Times Publishing Company, of Oxford, of which Mr. Snell is president. He is also editor and manager of the newspaper. The Oxford Times is a strong and progressive newspaper, independent in politics, vigorous in

editorial expression, and of wide influence and usefulness. Mr. Snell personally is a Re- publican. In religion he is a Methodist, and he holds the office of steward in the Oxford Methodist Episcopal Church.

PUMPELLY This name is of Italian ori- gin, and first appears in Italy as Pompili. To these spellings have been added Pompilie, Pompilly, Pumpely, Pumpilly, Pumppilly. From Italy, the family passed into France, where one of its members left the Romish church and be- came a Huguenot and his son removed to America and was the founder of the family in this country. The traditions of the Ameri- can branch say that the family came from Avignon, France, and it is a well-known fact that while Pope Clement V. was in that city, one of the cardinals who had come from Spo- letto had brought with him many retainers, among whom it is said was one of the name of Pompili, an officer of the Pope's court, whose descendant fled to Canada, as above noted. The first known of the name was one who defended the gates of Spoletto when Duke Barbarossa laid siege to that city and gained distinction in that defense. It seems that the first one who went to Canada was named Jean and that his son, bearing the same name, had a son John, who came from Canada to Massachusetts in the early part of 1700. His descendants have been con- spicuous in the settlement and development of Central New York and are still widely known in that state for their culture and re- finement and patronage of the arts and all that goes to build up the best that there is in the country.
(I) Nothing is known of Jean, other than his name, which he spelled Pompilie.
( II) John Pompily, son of the above, set- tled in Plymouth, Massachusetts, over two hundred years ago. It is said that he ran away with and married a Miss Monroe, a young girl with some fortune and much
beauty, who after his death married a clergy- man named Glover.
(III) John (2) Pumpely (as he wrote the nanie), only son of John (1) Pompily, was born in 1727, one month after the death of his father, and was brought up in the house- hold of his step-father, Mr. Glover. Septem- ber 15, 1755, he ran away and enlisted as a drummer in Captain John Loring's company of the British service. He served throughout the French and Indian war as a member of Captain Rogers' Rangers and was promoted to sergeant for distinguished bravery while bearer of dispatches for the relief of Fort William Henry, carrying the dispatches safely through a country infested with hostile In- dians. The last few miles of this dangerous course were made in a rapid run while he was pursued by three Indian warriors. There is a tradition that he stood near General Wolf when the latter was mortally wounded at Quebec and was himself wounded at the same time. He served as a revolutionary soldier and was commissary to General Israel Put- nam at the time of Burgoyne's surrender. It is said that Putnam fell into a lake during a skirmish and was rescued by Sergeant Pum- pely. He resided some years at Pembroke. Massachusetts, hence he removed to Salisbury. Connecticut. In May, 1802, he removed with his family, which then included five children, to the state of New York. They crossed the Hudson river at Catskill and then traversed the wild country, where they found only rarely any clearing, to the present town of Owego, Tioga county. The settlement at that time was composed of a few unpainted frame houses, with an occasional one of logs, scat- tered along the then crooked highway, which is the present front street. What is now the village of Owego was then covered with heavy timber. They continued on northward to what was known as Beers' Settlement, in the town of Danby, Tompkins county. (The only house then, where Ithaca now stands, was a log hut, hardly suitable for a pig-pen.) There Mr. Pumpely died. July 11, 1819. at the age of ninety-two years. After his death his widow removed to Owego, where she died December 31, 1832. Upon the interment of her body, that of her husband was brought to Owego and they were buried side by side in the Presbyterian burying ground on Temple street.
He married (first ), in 1759, at Halifax,

NEW YORK.
Nova Scotia, Eppen Hillebrantz Meijer (called in this country, Appy Meyers), a young woman of Dutch descent, who died aged sixty-three years. He married (second ) Hannah Bushnel, born 1756-57, died Decem- ber 31, 1832, aged seventy-six years, daughter of Captain Samuel Bushnel, of Salisbury, Con- necticut. formerly of Saybrook. Children of first wife: Appy, John, Rnel, Bernard and Captain Samuel. Children of second wife: James, Jerusha, Charles Maria, Mary, Will- iam, Harriet and Harmon.
(I\') James Pumpelly (as he wrote the name). son of John (2) Pumpely, eldest child of his second wife, Hannah (Bushnel) Pumpely, was born December 20, 1775, at Salisbury, Connecticut, and died at Owego, October 4, 1845, in his seventieth year. He was one of the most progressive men that ever lived in Owego. When the family removed to Tompkins county, he was twenty-eight years old and rode the entire distance on horseback. Like his father, he was a sur- veyor, and he found ready occupation in the wilderness where they then settled. The fam- ily was not in prosperous circumstances and when James Pumpelly secured a contract for surveying, he had but five shillings in his pocket and this he divided with a less fortu- nate companion as soon as he began work upon his contract. He began his work with a surveying party as an ax-man, and later became agent for the owners of large tracts of land in the southern tier, and with the aid of his brothers, William and Harmon Pum- pelly, he surveyed an immense territory. As agent for lands on both sides of the Owego creek throughout its entire length, he estab- lished a land office in Owego and purchased large tracts on his own account, which he sold out from time to time at a generous profit. In association with Joshua Ferris, he surveyed several sections known as the Wat- kins and Flint Purchase, which comprised about three hundred and sixty-three thousand acres, including the present towns of Candor and Spencer. In a comparatively short time Mr. Pumpelly became the largest owner of real estate in his section of New York. In 1820 he built the large brick house which is still standing at the northwest corner of Front and Academy streets. At the time this was the largest and most expensive house in that part of the country, being much like the celebrated Patroon Van Rensaleer mansion
in Albany, and it was predicted that the in- vestment of so much money in a house would cause the financial ruin of its owner. Here he continued to reside until his death. By reason of his activity and large means, Mr. Pumpelly was at the head of nearly every pub- lic enterprise. He was the president of the old Bank of Owego, treasurer of the Owego & Ithaca Turnpike Company, president of the Owego Turnpike Company, of the old Ithaca & Owego Railroad Company, of the Susque- hanna Steam Navigation Company, which in 1835 built the first steamboat on the Susque- hanna for commercial purposes. From the construction of its building in 1827 until his death, Mr. Pumpelly was president of the Owego Academy. He was the first president of the village of Owego upon its incorpora- tion in 1827 and filled the office five consecu- tive years by reelection. In 1810 he repre- sented his county (then Broome) in the state assembly. He was a self-made inan and his enterprise and public spirit, when the village of Owego was in its formative period, con- tributed very largely to its rapid advancement. He was one of the vice-presidents of the con- vention held at Owego, December 20-21, 1831, to advocate the construction of what is now the Erie railroad, and was active in securing the charter and construction of the road. He offered a donation of twenty-five acres of land for railroad use, but this was not accepted be- cause of a change in location of the line.
He married, April 7, 1805, at Owego, Mary ( Pixley) Tinkham, widow of Dr. Sam- uel Tinkham and daughter of Colonel David and Lydia ( Patterson ) Pixley, a wealthy pio- neer of Owego. She was born May 11, 1777, at Stockbridge, Massachusetts, died June 4, 1848, at Owego. Children: I. George James (mentioned below). 2. Lydia Abby, wife of Dr. Ezekiel Lovejoy, died at Owego. 3. Frederick Henry, resided at Owego. 4. Mary Eliza, married (first) Robert Charles John- son, (second) William H. Platt, and died at Metuchen, New Jersey.
(V) George James, eldest child of James and Mary (Pixley) (Tinkham ) Pumpelly, was born December 11, 1805, at Owego, where he died May 9. 1873. He graduated from Yale College and was educated as a lawyer, but so much of his time was taken up by the care of his father's estate that he did not at- tempt to practice his profession. He was a warm advocate of railroads and other public
