Another immigrant came with the Scotch- Irish to Pennsylvania. The New Hampshire and Pennsylvania Scotch-Irish were from the


same section, and as the Woodburn family had not lived long in Ireland and there were very few of them, judging from the records, it is fair to suppose that the New Hampshire and Pennsylvania settlers were closely related and perhaps brothers. We have no means of tracing the first two generations in Pennsyl- vania. The family scattered throughout the state. In 1790, according to the first federal census, there were seven heads of families named Woodburn. Two were name: Alex- ander, one James, two John, one Robert and one William. The family mentioned below located in Cumberland county. The census of Hopewell, Newton, Tyborn and Westpensboro was taken together, a section of Cumberland county. Here the Skiles and Woodburn fam- ilies are found in the same neighborhood. John Woodburn had only himself and wife; William had four females in his family. Alex- ander Woodburn lived in this section also. Isaac Skiles of this neighborhood lived near John Woodburn, having in his family two males over sixteen, two under that age and four females. John Skiles of the same neigh- borhood had no family, apparently living alone. The list of Skiles families numbers nine, John (2), Harmon (2), Henry, Isaac, James ( 2), and Thomas. Between John Woodburn and Isaac Skiles there lived in 1790 William Gilmore, George Martin and Mathew Wilson, if, as is obviously the fact, the names in the census were written down as taken.


(I) Skiles Woodburn, probably son of John Woodburn mentioned above, and related to all the heads of families of Cumberland in 1790, was born near Carlisle, Pennsylvania, in 1794. He married Margaret, daughter of Benjamin and Mary ( Wilson) McKeehan. Four McKeehan brothers are said to have come from the north of Ireland with the Scotch-Irish pioneers to Pennsylvania.


(II) John, son of Skiles Woodburn, was born in the section of Cumberland county, Pennsylvania, in which Hopewell, Newton and Tyborn are located. He removed to Urbana, Ohio. He married Isabella, daughter of Will- iam and Elizabeth (Sproat) Dunlap (see Dunlap IV). They had one son, Skiles Mc- Keehan, mentioned below.


(III) Dr. Skiles McKeehan Woodburn, son of John Woodburn, was born in Penn town- ship, Cumberland county, Pennsylvania. June 20, 1850. He was named for his grandfather,

who took his name for the Skiles family, and in all probability from the maiden name of his grandmother. He went to Ohio with his parents. lle attended the public schools and the Pennsylvania State College, and in 1869 began the study of medicine under the instruc- tion of Dr. J. I. Rothrock, afterward Profes- sor of Botany in the University of Pennsyl- vania. In 1872, after two years of study in the medical school of the University of Penn- sylvania, Dr. Woodburn was graduated with the degree of Doctor of Medicine, and imme- diately afterward located at Towanda, where he continued to practice medicine the re- mainder of his life. He was a member of the state and county medical societies, and for many years represented the state board of health in the vicinity of Towanda. For nine years he was pension examiner for Bradford county. lle also served on the Towanda board of health, in the town council and on the board of education, fulfilling the duties of these offices to his own credit and to the satisfaction of the people of the community. He gave freely of his time and means to aid every movement for the welfare of the com- munity. He was an active and prominent member of the Presbyterian church. At the time of his death a local newspaper said of him :


The death of Dr. Woodburn will come as a great shock to this community, for while it was known that he was seriously ill, there was not apprehension of the fatal termination of his illness until the day preceding his death. For forty years Doctor Wood- burn has been a resident of Towanda, and in active practice of his profession all that time here and far beyond its confines. He had a wide acquaintance and today there will be many grief-stricken hearts among those to whom he has gone through all the past years carrying comfort and healing in his visits.


Although reticent and reserved among those whom intimate acquaintance had not given freedom of speech, there was no more genial or entertaining companion than Dr. Woodburn among his friends. He was the ideal physician, and never talked about his patients. His lips were sealed as to the secrets of the sick chamber and consultation room. Those whom he attended in a professional capacity had the comforting assurance that in him they had a confidant whom they could implicitly trust.


Dr. Woodburn was devoted to his profession which he followed and gave to it a loyalty and sin- cerity that was exceptional. No doubt it was the high sense of professional duty that led to his last illness. Devotion to patients and deep appreciation of the responsibility for their welfare led him to go beyond his strength in their behalf. This he did in spite of the protests of his family and his own judgment.


A skilled physician whose greatest ambition was to meet his profession's greatest demands, a good citizen who was ever zealous in every way within his power to advance the welfare of the community, an active, zealous Christian gentleman, devoted to church and the great cause it represents, his life was fruitful in good works and the community is im- measurably poorer because of his death.


He married, in the fall of 1871, Margaret E. Dilts, of Ringoes, New Jersey, daughter of George and Elizabeth ( Robbin ) Dilts. Chil- dren: 1. Dr. Charles M., born January II. 1874; a physician of Towanda ; married Bes- sie Cleveland Moore and had children : John M. and Charles R. 2. John Leonard, born January 3, 1876, died January 10, 1883. 3. Isabella Elizabeth, mentioned below.


(IV) Isabella Elizabeth, daughter of Dr. Skiles McKeehan Woodburn, was born at Towanda, Pennsylvania, January 3, 1876. She married. July 17, 1907, Charles H. Peters (see Peters III).


(The Dunlap Line).


The Dunlap or Dunlop family is of Scotch descent. The surname is found in Ayrshire, Scotland, as early as the year 1260. A branch of the family went to Ulster province in the north of Ireland and has been quite numerous there to the present time. Alexander Dun- lap or Delap was an influential Scot in Route Quarters, county Antrim, in 1653, and in 1661 Rev. Alexander Dunlap submitted to royal or- ders and conformed to the Episcopal require- ments. He was of Kilmore, county Down. We find the name of Dunlap and also Wood- burn among the county Down and Antrim de- scendants of the Orr family (p. 496 "Hanna's Scotch Irish"). Monaghan was one of the Scotch counties of Ulster, near Down and Antrim. The Dunlaps are said to have come with the Scotch-Irish pioneers from Monag- han to Pennsylvania.


The Virginia Dunlaps claim descent from Robert Dunlap, who is said to have been one of four brothers, younger sons of a Scotch nobleman. They came to Pennsylvania and Robert and one brother served in the revolu- tion. Robert was killed or captured at the battle of Guilford Court House, refusing to retreat with his command. Robert located in Augusta county, Virginia, and his son Robert succeeded to his homestead, but his other sons went west. His brother, Captain Dunlap, went west; William, another brother, to Kentucky.


It is not known how closely Robert was re- lated to the other Dunlaps who settled in

Pennsylvania. All were doubtless of the same family in Ireland. In 1790 the federal census shows that five named James Dunlap had fam- ilies in Pennsylvania. Of these two lived in Cumberland county near the Woodburns. William Dunlap lived in the same neighbor- hood. As there were fifty families of Dunlaps in Pennsylvania in 1790, there must have been several pioneers, or the pioneer had prolific descendants. The records do not allow us to trace the relationship of these families, how- ever.


(I) James Dunlap was probably the original settler and progenitor of this family, born as early as 1710. In 1790 he appears to be liv- ing in Cumberland county having four fe- males in his family.


(II) James (2) Dunlap, living near the James (I) Dunlap mentioned above, and doubtless son or nephew, had in his family in 1790 two males over sixteen, three sons under sixteen and seven females, three other free persons and five slaves. He was evidently a man of years, born as early as 1740. The census appears to show his sons John and William. Children: John, mentioned below ; William, married Sarah Smith; Isabella, mar- ried John Cunningham; Polly, married James Adair ; Esther, married Flemming : Nancy, married David Glenn ; Sarah, married Kirkpatrick.


(III) John, son of James (2) Dunlap, was born about 1760. He lived in Cumberland county, Pennsylvania. He married Sarah Armstrong. Children: James, married (first) Margaret Cuthbertson, (second ) Margaret Ma- teer ; John, married (first) Tafferty, a widow, (second) Kate McKee, widow; Elizabeth, married Crawford White; William, mentioned below ; Martin, married Jane Bell ; Ann; Polly ; Sarah, married David Lamb.


(IV) William, son of John Dunlap, married Elizabeth Sproat. Children : John, married Mary Piper ; William, married (first) Eliza- beth Skiles, ( second) Isabel (Dallas) Caskey ; Sarah, married William Gracey; James, mar- ried Lucetta Hays; Isabella, married John Woodburn (see Woodburn II).


The Larrabee family is of LARRABEE French origin and the sur- name has from ancient times been distinguished in that country. The name, as is the case with most French surnames in England and America, is variously spelled,


the most common being Larabee, Larrabee, Larraby and Laraby.


(I) Stephen Larrabee, immigrant ancestor, born about 1630, probably in France, came to this country with his brother William and both settled in Malden, Massachusetts, where William died, leaving no children surviving and bequeathing his estate at Malden to his brother's children. This will was dated Oc- tober 24, 1692, and the inventory is dated November 28, 1692. Stephen Larrabee was a soldier in the Narragansett war. He settled in North Yarmouth, Maine, but his family had to leave that town during King Philip's war. A petition dated March 6. 1732-33, is the only known record of his sons. Children : Stephen, mentioned below; William, settled in Wells, Maine: Captain John, lost at sea or died in England ; Thomas, removed to North Yarmouth, killed by the Indians, April 19, 1723 ; Samuel, lived at North Yarmouth, Lynn and Lunenburg, Massachusetts; Isaac, born 1663, settled at Lynn ; Captain Benjamin, born 1666, resided at North Yarmouth and Fal- mouth ; Ephraim, killed by Indians in 1691; Jane. Each child had a grant of ten acres of land on account of the father's service in Narragansett.


(II) Stephen (2), son of Stephen (I) Lar- rabee, was born in 1652. He was mentioned in the will of his uncle, William Larrabee, of Malden. He married Isabel Chil- dren: Stephen; Deacon William, mentioned below ; Captain John ; Samuel, born 1690 ; Abi- gail, 1694; Ephraim ; Margaret.


(III) Deacon William Larrabee, son of Stephen (2) Larrabee, was born about 1685. He settled in Boston and was a tailor by trade. He married, August 12, 1708, Lydia Adams. Children: William, born March 21, 1711-12; Jonathan and Lydia, twins. October 7, 1713; Samuel, December 18, 1715; Lydia, Decem- ber 9, 1717; Stephen, December 8, 1719; Lydia, January 5, 1722; James, May 1, 1725; Benjamin, August 4, 1726; Abigail, March 25, 1728.


(\') Jonathan Larrabee, believed to be son or nephew of Jonathan, and grandson of Dea- con William Larrabee (III), was born about 1760. He lived in Brookfield and Pelham, Massachusetts, and settled finally at Lansing- burg, New York. He married, at Brookfield, January 13, 1785, Persis, born March 19, 1764, daughter of James Nichols, born March 15, 1726. The wife Persis was baptized, an

adult, in the Brookfield church, April 27, 1800, and her children, Frances, and James mentioned below, were baptized July 6, 1800. Iler name appears in several deeds with the other heirs of James Nichols, of Brookfield, her father. Ruth, his widow, Isaac Nichols, Elias and Abigail Staples, Asa Nichols, Per- sis Larrabee, Joshua Nichols. Abiah Nichols, John and Ann Abbott deeded their rights to Jabez Upham, of Brookfield, March, 1795. In a similar deed in 1806 Persis Larrabee made her acknowledgment at Pelham. The records of Pelham furnish nothing about the family except to give the marriage of the widow of a Phineas Larrabee ( intention dated December 5. 1807) to Amos Taylor.


(Vi) James, son of Jonathan Larrabee, was born in Lansingburg, New York, according to family records, June 19, 1789, but was bap- tized at Brookfield with his sister, July 6, 1800, a few weeks after his mother was baptized there. It is likely that the mother was then a widow. James Larrabee married, at Salis- bury, New York, May 13, 1811, Huldah Bart- lett. of Montague, Massachusetts. Children (see Saco Families, p. 870, also family rec- ords) : 1. William, born June 24. 1812, died November 25, 18So. 2. Caroline H., October 29, 1813, died April 11, 1864, at Cazenovia, New York. 3. Ann Eliza, January 26, 1816. 4. Mary M., October 14, 1817, married Danforth, of Rome, New York. 5. James Dwight, May 5, 1819, died March 21, 1847, in New York City. 6. George A., June 11, 1821. 7. Lyman J., mentioned below. 8. Bela S., December 23 or 25, 1824, lost at sea. 9. John H., July 12, 1826, died November 29, 1869; passenger agent of the Ohio & Mississippi railroad.


(VII ) Lyman J., son of James Larrabee, was born at Tabery, New York, May 18, 1823. He married Catherine Stevens, born December 9, 1824. He removed to Cincinnatus, Cortland county, New York, and resided there until he died. He built up a large business as a manufacturer of sleighs at Woodstock, New York, where he continued in business for many years. He was a member of the Con- gregational church. Children: H. Chester, mentioned below ; Catherine, born July 24, 1857, at Cazenovia, New York ; Agnes, Sep- tember 22, 1861, .died March, 1901; Nettie Josephine, June 14, 1863.


(VIII) H. Chester, son of Lyman J. Larra- bee, was born at Cazenovia, New York, May


I, 1854. 1Je received his early education in the public schools of Cincinnatis, New York, and succeeded his father as a manufacturer of sleighs. In 1883 he removed to Bingham- ton, New York, where he entered partnership with Jefferson Kingman and James W. Sturte- vant under the firm name of Kingman, Sturte- vant & Larrabee for the manufacture of sleighs and carriages. In 1891 the business was incorporated under the name of the Sturtevant-Larrabee Company, with Mr. Lar- rabee as president, and he has remained at the head of the corporation to the present time. In addition to his business activities, he has taken active part in politics and other public affairs. For a number of years he has been a member of the board of managers of the Binghamton City Hospital. In politics he is a Republican.


He married, April 12, 1892, Emily, daugli- ter of Charles W. and Jane (McClure ) Un- derwood ( see Underwood VIII). Children : II. Chester Jr., born December 31, 1893 ; Ly- man J., June 6, 1895; Edwin S., November 13, 1896; James F., December 1, 1899; Dor- othy, April 13, 1902; William L., July 16, 1907 : Helen, April 27, 1909.


(The Underwood Line).


(I) Joseph Underwood, the ancestor of this family in America, was born in England, of ancient and honored family. He came to this country with his brother, Thomas Under- wood, and both settled in Hingham, Massa- chusetts. Thomas Underwood was a proprie- tor of Hingham in 1636, freeman, March 9, 1636-37, deputy to the general court, removed to Dorchester and later to Watertown where he bought houses and land, March 3, 1651-52. His will was dated July 19, 1679, proved Octo- ber 2, 1680, bequeathing to wife Magdalene and son Thomas, then in England ; his widow's will bequeathed to Thomas Underwood, who was the son of Joseph, and to other kinsmen, indicating that her son Thomas did not come over. Martin Underwood, another early set- tler of Watertown, was probably also of this family. Joseph Underwood removed from Hingham to Watertown ; was admitted a free- man, May 16, 1645. He married (first ) Mary -, who died February 13, 1658, and ( second ) Mary How, of Dorchester, April 29, 1665. The names of children are found in the record of settlement of the estate. IIe died February 16, 1676-77. aged about sixty-

(11) Joseph (2), son of Joseph ( 1 ) Under- wood, was born in Watertown, died in 1691. His will, dated February 16, 1691, was proved April 7 following, bequeathing to Elizabeth. John, Joseph, Jonathan, Joshua, Mary, Han- nah and Elizabeth. He married Elizabeth Children, born at Watertown: John, March 6, 1677: Elizabeth, May 8, 1679: Jo- seph, May 28, 1681 : Joshua, January 31, 1633: Jonathan, 1685; Mary, May 9, 1687 ; llannah, April 13. 1690.


( ]]] ) Joshua, son of Joseph (2) Under- wood, was born January 3. 1683. at Water- town. He married, January 13, 1707, Mercy Fairbanks, of Sherborn, daughter of Eliezer Fairbanks. Children: Mercy, born April 3. 1700: Jonathan, mentioned below: Joshua. September 22, 1714: Joseph, November 21, 1716: Thankful, February 8, 1719: David. May, 1721 : Mary, February 2. 1723.


(1\) Jonathan, son of Joshua Underwood, was born at Watertown or Sherborn, Novem- ber 4. 1711. He married. January 22. 1740. Priscilla Bailla or Bailey. They settled at Sud- bury and had four daughters and one son. Children : John, mentioned below ; Hannah, born at Sudbury, May 30, 1755 : Lydia, March 5. 1758. Two other daughters.


(\') John, son of Jonathan Underwood, was born in 1742. He marrie 1. December 9. 1763. Bathsheba Rice, who married ( second ) No- vember 26, 1778, James Demandar. Children, born at Sudbury: Isaac, October 25, 1764: Jonas, mentioned below : Anna, January 29, 1769: Asahel, August 10, 1770.


Another Jonathan Underwood, of the same family, lived at East Sudbury and died there January 29, 1804 : his son Jonathan died there June 9. 1811. aged sixty-two. Jonathan mar- ried (first ) June 4. 1744. Lydia Muzzey, of Sudbury. lle came from Weston, formerly Watertown.


(\'1) Jonas, son of John Underwood, was born in Sudbury, June 10, 1767. The Massa- chusetts Revolutionary Rolls prove beyond question that Jonas Underwood was in the revolution. He and his brother Isaac enlisted before April 1. 1783, when each signed a re- ceipt for thirty pounds bounty given by the town with an obligation of sixty pounds, half of which was to be paid in one year and the other in two years after enlistment. It was


common for the towns to offer bounties of this sort, and toward the close of the war many very young soldiers were taken to fill the quotas of the towns. In 1083 Jonas was described as sixteen years old, five feet, one- half inch in height, of light complexion, light hair and blue eyes, a farmer by occupation. In another record his date of enlistment is given as April 15, 1781, for three years to fill the quota of the town of Sudbury in the continental army, and presumably on account of his age was reported unfit for duty, but the record above shows that he was retained in the service and paid for it. His age at enlistment is given as fourteen years, nine months, his stature four feet, eleven and three- quarters inches. "Reported under size." Isaac was five feet four inches in April, 1781, and aged sixteen years.


Jonas Underwood applied for a pension from Windsor, New York, May 8, 1818. The family records give the date of his birth as June 8, 1763. The date given above is from the town records. After the revolution Jonas removed to New York state and became one of the pioneers of the town of Sanfor.I. Broome county. He married, about 1792, Sally Pine, of Fishkill, New York, daughter of P. Pine and sister of Judge Pine, of De- posit. New York. She was born April 2, 1774. Children : Betsey, born August 3, 1793 : John. mentioned below: Phebe. March 14. 1798: Peter, August 2, 1800 : Philip, March 9. 1803 : Jonas, September 17, 1805 : Sally, January 7. 1808: Isaac, July 14, 1810: Almira, March II. 1813: Mary Ann, October 13. 1817.


(\']]) John ( 2), son of Jonas Underwood, was born August 23. 1795. died November 8. 1864, at Deposit, New York. He married Harriet, born June 3. 1801. died August 16. 1858, daughter of Jacob and Margaret ( York ) Edick. Children: Maretta. George, Ruth, Butler, Betsey, Nelson, Annette, Margaret, died young : Ellen, Charles W., mentioned be- low.


(\'III) Charles W., son of John (2) Under- wood, was born March 31. 1840, at Deposit. New York. He resides in Syracuse, New York. For many years he was a locomotive engineer in the West Shore division of the New York Central & Hudson River railroad. In religion he is a Methodist, and in politics a Republican.

born February 4. 1863, married De. Ette Scudder and had Herbert E. and Emily M. : Emily, born March 24, 1870, married H. Ches- ter Larrabee ( see Larrabee VI[] ).


The name of Short is a very ol 1 one in America and was planted SHORT in New England by Henry Short, who arrived at Ipswich, Massachusetts, in 1634, and settled in the next year in the neigh- boring town of Newbury. He left a large number of descendants and they were num- erously found in the town of Newbury down to 1800. Ile was accompanie l by his brother Anthony, who left no descendants.


( I) The first of this family of whom any record can be obtained was Glover Short, who removed from Connecticut to Eaton. Madison county. New York, where he set- tled on a farm of one hundred acres, half a mile east of the village of Eaton, where he was succeeded by his son Bela. He married Lucy Richardson and had children: 1. Ham- mon, mentioned below. 2. Bela, a farmer and dairyman of Eaton. New York : married ( first ) Wilson and ( second) Elizabeth Burd- win, and had children: Manlintha, Mary, Frances, Louis, Hiram, Duane. 3. Zadock, married - Brown and was a farmer at Cincinnatus, Cortland county, New York ; children : Elmira, Henry, Cornelia. 4. Pame- lia, married Rev. Daniel Eldridge, and re- sided at Salem, New York. 5. Olive, wife of Elijah Eldridge, lived at Marion, Wayne county. New York. 6. Glover, lived in Cin- cinnatus. 7. Lucy, married Allen, of Marion, New York.


( II) Hammon, son of Glover Short, was born about 1790 in Fairfield, Connecticut, died at Homer, Cortland county, New York, at the age of seventy-three years. As a boy he re- moved with his parents to Eaton, Madison county, New York, where he was educated in public schools, and learned the trade of harnessmaker with Zebulon Weaver, of Ham- ilton, New York. Soon after his marriage he removed to De Ruyter, Madison county. where he set up in. business as harnessmaker and continued for several years. He sold out and removed his family to llomer, where his children could have the educational ad- vantages of Cortland Academy. Here he es- tablished a harness business and purchased two acres of land on Main street, on which he built a residence, at that time one of the


handsomest in the village. For some time his son-in-law, Charles H. Wheadon, was his partner and later purchased the business when Mr. Short retired. He continued to reside in Homer until his death, and for seventeen years engaged in the business of buying horses and cattle, which he marketed in Philadelphia. He often maintained large herds of cattle and marketed this stock in Lansingburg, New York. lle had a farm of one hundred and fifteen acres about one mile east of Homer which he managed. With his wife he was a member of the Baptist church at Homer in which he long served as deacon, and was many years a trustee of Cortland Academy. Politically he was known as an old line Whig.


Ile married, at Hamilton, New York, Dor- cas Weaver, of Butternuts, Otsego county, New York, born August 7. 1792, died March 30, 1887, daughter of Zebulon and Dorcas ( Hoxsie ) Weaver, of an old Rhode Island family which was founded by Clement Weav- er. who settled at Newport, Rhode Island, where he died in 1683. His wife was Mary Freeborn, and his descendants resided for many generations in Newport, Greenwich and other Rhode Island towns. No record of Zebulon Weaver appears in the vital records of that state but he was undoubtedly a de- scendant of Clement Weaver. The family tra- dition states that Zebulon Weaver lived and died at Newport. Children of Hammon Short : 1. Jane Madison, married Erasmus Bowen : resided in Homer : they had a daughter Har- riet who moved to Elgin, Illinois. 2. Mary Ann, married Chauncey Darby, of llomer ; settled in Greene, Chenango county, New York : their son.
