(The Card Line).
The surname Card is identical with Caird in England. The word means a traveling tinker and sometimes a Gypsy, and the sur- name may be classed with trade names, such as tailor, carpenter, etc. There were two early settlers of this surname in New Eng- land-Richard, mentioned below, and Captain William Card, who was born in England in 1662 and settled at Gloucester, Massachusetts. A Francis Card was a soldier in King Philip's war, but nothing further is known about him. Captain William Card was very likely related to the Newport family, as the names of de- scendants are similar and the name itself is so tintistial as almost to prove relationship.
(I) Richard Card, doubtless born in Eng- land, settled in Newport, Rhode Island, and died after 1664. He was a freeman of New-

John Card. of Montgomery, Ulster county, New York, had three males over sixteen, one under that age. and one female, and was probably born before 1760.

Rhode Island family, had one son under six- teen, and three females in his family. Ste- phen and Hugh Card were soldiers in the rev- olution in New York regiments, but their an- cestry has not been traced.

(VII) John, son or nephew of William C'ard, married, and his daughter Calista mar- ried William Skeele (see Skeele VII). Many of the settlers at Truxton, Cortland county, New York, where he lived, came from Ame- nia, and it is believed that he or his father came from that place.
