(II) John (2), son of John ( I ) Rathbone. was born at New Shoreham, Rhode Island, and died in 1723. He married, January 10, 1688, Ann Dodge. On May 5. 1696, he was admitted freeman of Rhode Island. He re- ceived from his father, just before his mar- riage, a deed for sixty acres of land on Block Island-probably a wedding present. On De- cember 13, 1698, "Great James" and Jane, his wife. (Indians) bound their daughter Betsey to John Rathbone, as an indented servant for eighteen years, and the consideration was one gallon of rum and one blanket in hand, and

On April 28, 1717, he testified in relation to the seizure of three men from a boat that he was in, by a pirate sloop of which Paulsgrave Williams was commander, then in the harbor's bay. The men taken were George Mitchell, William Tosh and Dr. James Sweet. Gover- nor Cranston wrote to Colonel Shute in re- gard to the matter, "that in case the pirate Williams should fall into your excellency's hands that the poor men therein mentioned may receive such favor as justice will allow." March 8, 1720, he made his will. proved March 9, 1723. his wife Ann was executrix, and to her were bequeathed all profits of hous- ing and lands on Block Island for life and all personal forever. As his oldest son Jonathan had already received froo, he left him noth- ing, and his daughter Mary received her por- tion at marriage. To his son John he left all housing and lands on Block Island, he paying legacies. He left $50 to son Joshua, and to sons Benjamin, Nathaniel and Thomas £50 when they became of age. To daughter Anne he left £30 at death of wife.

(III) Jonathan, son of John (2) Rathbone, was born May 22, 1691. He married Eliza- beth -----. He died April 1. 1766, aged sev- enty-five years. He removed while a young man, before 1715, to that part of New Lon- don county, Connecticut, formerly called Col- chester, now Salem, and purchased from the Mohegan Indians a tract of land on which he settled. This land has remained in the family to this day. He was a member of the Baptist

(VII) Henry Wellington, son of General Ransom Rathbone, was born at Oxford, Che- mango county, New York, August 14, 1813, and died in Elmira, New York, September 29, 1891. He received his early education in the public schools and Oxford Academy. He be- came interested early in his career in manu- facturing, and for several years conducted pa- per mills near Oxford. In 1859 he came to Steuben county, New York, and engaged in lumbering, mercantile and milling enterprises, and the village in which he located was named Rathboneville (now Rathbone ) in honor of him and his family. He was in business there some twenty years and his extensive business interests gave him a wide acquaintance with other representative men, with whom his un- usual executive ability and personal integrity gave him an enviable standing and reputa- tion. He came to Elmira, New York, in 1858, and until his death was conspicuous in the growth of the city and its industries. Soon after he came he organized, with others. the Elmira Rolling Mill Company, to the success of which he devoted his best energies and efforts for many years, and in large measure was responsible for the high place it held among the most important and prosperous industries of the state. He was director and president of various banks, railroads, coal and manufacturing companies. While he was always a Democrat, he differed at times with his party on the tariff and various financial questions, and sometimes voted against his party. He declined to accept public office.

(The Arnot Line).


(I) John Arnot, the immigrant ancestor. was born in Perthshire, Scotland, September 25. 1793, and died in Elmira, New York, No- vember 17, 1873. He came from Scotland in 1801, and settled in the vicinity of Albany, New York. He remained around there until 1817, being engaged in various occupations, being a poor boy and forced to earn a living. During that year he came to Elmira, then called Newtown, and with the assistance of Mr. Egbert Egberts, a merchant of Albany, who reposed full confidence in his integrity, commenced his mercantile career in 1819 in a building just below Fox street, on East Water. With patience, economy and perseverence, af- ter a few years he was enabled to buy out Mr. Egbert's interest, and own the establish- ment himself. He became assciated with Stephen Tuttle in the mercantile business in 1831, which continued for several years. when in 1841 he sold out to Partridge & Hill. In the time from 1831 to 1841 he built a foun- dry on Lake street, the first brick building erected in Elmira, and in 1834 he brought to Elmira the first steam-engine in operation there. He invested quite largely in real es- tate, and became interested in the Chemung Canal Bank. He was one of the directors, and gave much of his time and attention to the management of its affairs. His connec- tion with the bank as cashier, in 1841, secured the desired confidence of the public, which it has since retained. During these years also he built his residence on Lake street, where he resided until his death, and now known as

the Arnot Art Gallery, recently left to the city of Elmira.


In 1848 he and others relieved the Erie railroad from its straightened condition, and undertook its construction from Binghamton to Elmira, furnishing the money and taking the pay from the bonds of the company. Their control was subsequently extended to Corn- ing. Soon after this Mr. Arnot was elected a director in the company, and for many years lent to the interests of the road his wisdom and judicious business ability. In 1852, hav- ing obtained control of the Chemung Canal Bank, he was elected its president, with his son, John Arnot Jr., as cashier. Being largely interested in the Junction canal, in 1854, he was elected president of the company con- structing it. Soon after, the gas-works came into his hands, and the manner in which the city was furnished with gas has shown the ability and good judgment that he used in everything. For the ten years before his death he was principally engaged in mining, owning entirely or being interested in some of the most productive coal mines of the coun- try. He was never a partisan in any politi- cal sense. Previous to the formation of the Republican party he acted with the Whigs, and since with the Democrats. He was never an aspirant for any office, and never held any except for the honorary position of the board of education from 1859 to 1866. In 1858 he was the Democratic nominee for member of congress, and failed of election because of a Republican majority, but only by a small ma- jority. He was a just and generous man. Many will remember being carried safely over a crisis in their affairs when no other hand than his would help. He was filled with sym- pathy for all mankind, a fact which, in many ways unknown to the world, he constantly demonstrated. In a life of severe and never- ending labor, although he acquired large wealth, he never outgrew his natural man- hood.


He married, in 1824, Harriet Tuttle, daugh- ter of Stephen Tuttle. Children: Marianna T., mentioned below ; Aurelia C., deceased ; Stephen Tuttle, mentioned below : John Jr., mentioned below : Matthias Hallenback, died in February, 1910; Fanny, mentioned below.


(II) Hon. Stephen Tuttle Arnot, son of John Arnot, was born at Elmira, New York, August 20, 1829, and died there November 18. 1884. He was for many years promin-


ent in public life and influential in politics in city and county, and in fact throughout the state was well known and highly respected. He served continuously a long term in the common council, and was mayor of the city in 1883, serving the unexpired term of Mayor David B. Hill, who resigned upon his elec- tion as lieutenant-governor of New York state. He took a keen interest in the fire department of the city, and while he was on the fire department committee of the council, he was influential in bringing the department to its greatest efficiency. He was on the com- mittee of construction of the Elmira Reform- atory, and was a trustee of the institution at the time of his death, when his brother Mat- thias was appointed to succeed him. He was a Democrat in politics. He married, Septem- ber 17, 1856, Charlotte Hewitt, of Owego, New York, now deceased. She was born De- cember 19, 1828, daughter of Gurdon and Charlotte ( Platt) Hewitt. Her mother was born January 25, 1800 ; married in 1821, and died January 16, 1876; her father was born May 5, 1790, died December 24, 1871; the only surviving child of Mr. and Mrs. Arnot was Fannie, born at Elmira, July 4, 1864, mar- ried, April 16, 1885, Warham Whitney, of Rochester, New York ; child, Charlotte, born January 27, 1889.


(II) Hon. John Arnot Jr., son of John Arnot, was born at Elmira, March 11, 1831, and died in November, 1886. He was one of the most prominent and highly esteemed citizens of Elmira during his lifetime. His life was full of generous acts and kindly char- ity, and he was naturally a popular citizen. For many years he was a member of the board of education of the city of Elmira, and dur- ing the last three years before Elmira had a city charter he was president of the incor- porated village. Ile was the first mayor of the city, and was again its mayor in 1870 and 1874 and in 1882 was elected congressman from the district. He was re-elected virtually without opposition in 1884. In October, 1884, he met with a peculiar accident that ultimately caused his death. In opening the doors of the vault in the Chemung Canal Bank, of which he was cashier, an explosion of gas which had accumulated during three days in the bank vault, threw him across the room against a desk and severely bruised and burned him. He lived about three years. He married. June 2, 1858, Ann Elizabeth Hulett, born near

FALCK Colonel William Falck, son of William and Matilda Falck, was born in Berlin, Germany, No- vember 25, 1837. He received his education in the schools of his native city, and at the age of eighteen went to England, where he spent two years. He came to this country in 1858, and enlisted in the American army as a private in Company F, second United States Infantry. He was appointed sergeant-major in the civil war. for gallantry at the battle of Antietam, he was commissioned second lieutenant, soon afterward was promoted to the rank of first lieutenant, and in 1866 to a captain's commission. He was in the service for eight years, and took a brave man's part in a war that taxed the courage of the brav- est. At Spottsylvania Court House, May 10, 1864, he was severely wounded in the left lung, and for a time was unable to be with his regiment. As a recognition of his brav- ery at Spottsylvania Court House he was brevetted captain, and March 13, 1865, major, in recognition of his part in the battle of Chancellorsville. Soon afterward he was made lieutenant-colonel by brevet. While re- covering his health in 1865, Colonel Falck was sent to Elmira, New York, and stationed at the prison camp. During the next ten years


he was stationed in various southern states and took part in the great work of reconstruc- tion, and was active in suppressing the murderous Ku-Klux-Klan. In 1877 Colonel Falck was stationed in Idaho, where he took part in the campaign against the Nez Perces Indians. In 1879 he had charge of establish- ing an army post at a distant site on the Co- lumbia river, near the Canadian border. The climate was severe, and the exposure resulted in an attack of rheumatism. In 1880 his suf- fering was so intense that he was given a three-year leave of absence from the army. At the end of this period he resigned his com- mission, after spending a quarter of a cen- tury in the military service. the best part of his life. He made his home in Elmira, New York.


In 1885 he became financially interested in the La France Fire Engine Company, and was elected treasurer and general manager. He had been with the Elmira Water Works Company for two years previous. The fire engine produced by this company became one of the most efficient and popular on the mar- ket, largely owing to the sagacity and fore- sight of Colonel Falck, and probably had no superior in the world. He continued as man- ager and treasurer until 1900, when this con- cern became a part of the International Fire Engine Company. He was with the new com- pany from 1902 to March, 1904, as a general officer of the corporation at the New York office. When the American-La France Com- pany was organized in 1904, he was instru- mental in having the general offices moved to Elmira. He returned to Elmira himself, but resigned from active duty and from that time lived a life of retirement. His health began to fail, and for two years he kept to his home and devoted himself to books and nature. He died February 10, 1909, at his home in Elmira.


Colonel Falck was a member of the Mili- tary Order of the Loyal Legion : of Baldwin Post, Grand Army of the Republic: honor- ary member of the Thirtieth Separate Com- pany, National Guard, State of New York ; member of the Army and Navy Club of New York; charter member of the Elmira City Club : director of the Chemung Canal Trust Company, and one of its founders. Colonel Falck was a brave, loyal, capable military officer with a long and brilliant service to his credit in the civil war and afterward. He

(The Carpenter Line).


This family is of ancient English origin, and is of great antiquity in the county of Hereford and other parts of England. The American branch of the family is descended from the family of which the Earl of Tyr- connel was a member. In 1761 the Earldom of Tyrconnel in Ireland was given to a third George Carpenter, and this branch became extinct in 1853. The coat-of-arms was con- firmed to William Carpenter in 1663, in Lon- don, and was subsequently found on the tombstone of Daniel Carpenter, of Rehoboth, Massachusetts, who was born in 1669. The arms: Argent, a greyhound passant, and chief sable. Crest: A greyhound's head, erased per fesse sable and argent. Motto: Celeri- tas, virtus, fidelitas.

was a resident of London.


(X) William Carpenter, son of William Carpenter, was born in 1605, in England. He came to America with his father in the ship "Bevis," in 1638, and was admitted a freeman of Weymouth, Massachusetts, May 13, 1640. He was deputy to the general court from Weymouth in 1641-43, and from Rehoboth in 1645; constable in 1641. He was admitted an inhabitant of Rehoboth, March 28, 1645, and in June of same year admitted as a free- man there. He was a close friend of Gov- ernor William Bradford, who married his cousin Alice Carpenter. With others he re- ceived permission from the general court to buy a tract of land eight miles square of the Indians, which became the settlement of Reho- both. He was chosen proprietors' clerk in 1643, and served until 1649. He contributed towards the expenses of King Philip's war, and was one of the committee to lay out a road from Rehoboth to Dedham. In 1647 he was selectman. He owned real estate also at Pawtucket, Rhode Island. Ile was a captain of militia. He died February 7, 1659 in Re- hoboth.

He came from England when a young boy, with his father, and went to Connecticut, where he was living before 1646, when he must have been about seventeen years old. It seems that he was in different places in Connecticut several years, working at the trade of carpenter. He had some difficulty with one Gibbons, and was assisted by Thomas Osborn. His brother Joseph appeared as plaintiff at Hartford. June. 1648. In 1660 John bought land in Hemp- stead, Long Island, and in the deed he is called "John Carpenter of Huntington, Conn." In his father's will, April 21, 1658,


he is bequeathed one mare, "being the old white mare," etc., and his son is bequeathed twenty shillings to buy him a calf. John Carpenter was in Stratford, Connecticut, in 1646. Hinman says that John Carpenter, with some twenty others, of Hempstead, Long Island, was accepted as a freeman by the gen- eral court of Connecticut, May, 1664, if he chose to be a freeman of that state. He was chosen townsman of Hempstead in 1663, and bought land in Jamaica, Long Island, in 1665. Captain John Sr. and Captain John Jr. re- ceived their titles because of being captains of the Jamaica Fusileers, a military company of that time. McDonald says that Captain John Carpenter Sr. was captain in 1673. He is mentioned in the "Documentary History of New York" as being ordered in 1673, with his company, to defend Fort James, New York, against the fleet of the Prince of Or- ange, at the time of the recapture of New York by the Dutch. Captain John Carpen- ter was a resident of Jamaica before 1664, and was one of the patentees of the town un- der the Dongan Patent of 1680. He and Ne- hemiah Smith were a committee to settle the Rev. John Pruden over the church at Jamai- ca, June 19, 1676. Among the papers of Judge Morgan Carpenter, of Poughkeepsie, New York ( deceased ), is the sale of the dower, 1704, of Hannah Carpenter, of Ja- maica, to her son, William Carpenter. She sold all her rights in houses and lands left her by her late husband, Captain John Carpen- ter. John Carpenter bought a tract of land in Jamaica on which he settled, and this was occupied for three generations by John Car- penters. The last one died young, unmar- ried. Captain John Carpenter's tax in 1683 was on £186, sterling. His will, dated No- vember 10, 1694. begins: "Now ancient, crazy in body, but sound in mind," etc. He mentioned in the will Hannah, his wife, sons John. Hope, Samuel and William, daughter Ruth, grandson Solomon, and granddaughters Abigail and Hannah. He left his carpenter tools to his sons.
