(VIII) Burton Smith, son of Abram Brain- erd and Jane (Alexander) Griffith, was born December 19, 1869, in East Homer. In early youth he attended the public schools of his native town, subsequently becoming a student of the State Normal School at Cortland, after which he taught school for several terms. On attaining his majority he became a clerk and gained a varied business experience in the em- ploy of merchants of Cortland, East Homer and Truxton. during a period of three years. In 1894 he engaged in business on his own account as a general merchant at New Haven, Oswego county, New York, but was obliged to abandon this at the end of four years on ac- count of the failing health of his father. Re- turning to his native farm he took charge of its operation and after his father's decease purchased the interest of the other heirs and became its sole owner. In 1905 he sold out and became manager of the flour and feed mill at East River, New York, which was owned by the Cortland Wagon Company. In a short time he leased the property for a period of three years and at the expiration of his lease

became owner of the property by purchase. This is operated by an exceptionally good water power and equipped with modern fit- tings. Since 1909 Mr. Griffith has operated the property with gratifying results, the busi- ness having increased every year until now it is the largest of its kind in this section of the state. Mr. Griffith embraces the religious faith of the Methodist Episcopal church which he attends and supports. In politics he is a Republican, refusing, however, any political offices, preferring to devote his time to his business and home life.
He married, December 14, 1898, Clara Bate- man, of Scriba, Oswego county, New York, born in Lansing. New York, July 6, 1876, daughter of Edward and Elizabeth (Hubbard) Bateman. Children : Blanche Elizabeth, born July 26, 1904; Doris Isabelle, November 8, 1905 ; Francis Burton, April 5, 1908.
EMERSON The Emerson family origin- ated in England, and the first to use the name there was Johannes Emeryson, of Brancepeth parish, county Durham, England, who was born be- fore 1300. From him the various branches of the English family are descended, though the line cannot be traced perfectly.
(I) Thomas Emerson, the English ances- tor, was born before 1540, and was a resi- dent of Great Dunmow, county Essex, where his three children are registered. He was probably son of Ralf of Foxton, who received arms in 1535. Children : Robert, mentioned below ; Joan, baptized 1562; John, baptized 1565.
(II) Robert, son of Thomas Emerson, was born in Great Dunmow and baptized there October 25. 1561. He may be identical with Robert Emerson, of Bishops Stortford, who married there, November 24, 1578, Susan Crabb, who was buried there November 20, 1626, aged seventy years. Robert was buried at Bishops Stortford, January 6, 1620. Chil- dren : Alice, baptized November 22, 1579; Margaret, baptized February 21, 1581-82; Thomas, mentioned below ; Anne; Robert, baptized April 12, 1596; John.
(III) Thomas (2), son of Robert Emerson, was baptized at Bishops Stortford, July 26, 1584. died at Ipswich, Massachusetts, May I, 1666. In the church warden's book of St. Michaels he is recorded as a collector for the poor in 1636. He was the immigrant ances-
tor and according to family tradition came to New England in the ship "Elizabeth Ann," in 1635. He settled in Ipswich and had a grant of land there in 1638. He married, July 1, 1611, at Bishops Stortford, Elizabeth Brew- ster. The genealogist of the English Emer- sons suggests that she was the daughter of the postmaster of Scrooby and the elder of the colony at Plymouth. Children, as recorded at the baptismal registry of St. Michaels, Bish- ops Stortford, England: Robert, baptized May 24, 1612; Benjamin, October 2, 1614; Ralfe, October 19, 1615, killed by the falling of a tree in June, 1626; James, February 16, 1617; Joseph, mentioned below; Elizabeth, June 14, 1623; John, February 26, 1625, set- tled in Gloucester, Massachusetts; Thomas; Nathaniel, July 18, 1630, settled at Ipswich : Susan, March 17, 1633, may have died on the voyage; Sarah, died August 12, 1640.
(IV) Joseph, son of Thomas (2) Emerson. was born in England and baptized at Bishops Stortford, June 25, 1620. He died at Con- cord, Massachusetts, January 3,
1680. Through his son Joseph he was the ancestor of that most illustrious American, Ralph Wal- do Emerson. The line is: Ralph Waldo (8), William (7), Joseph (6), Edward (5), Jo- sephi (4). He married (first), in 1646, Eliza- beth, daughter of Robert and Margaret Wood- mansey, schoolmaster of Boston. They resided at Ipswich, Massachusetts, York, Maine, and Milton, Massachusetts. Joseph Emerson was a Puritan minister said to have been educated in England. He may have studied at Har- vard. He was at Ipswich as early as 1638: was admitted a freeman there December 19. 1648 ; preached at York, Maine, the same year. In 1653 he was a resident of Wells and took the frecman's oath there July 4. 1653. He signed a petition to Cromwell, while of Wells, asking the Protector to confirm the jurisdiction of Massachusetts over the inhabitants of Wells. About 1664 he left Wells, where he seemed to have a turbulent lot of parishioners. and where the church, after he left, had to disband. About 1664 he became minister at Milton, Massachusetts, December 1. 1660, he settled in Mendon, Massachusetts, where he remained until the town was destroyed by the Indians, when he retired to Concord, where he died. He married (second) December 7, 1665, Elizabeth, daughter of Rev. Edward Bulkeley, of Concord, granddaughter of the Rev. Peter Bulkeley, first minister of Con-

He was a school- master in Chelmsford, in 1700, and resided in that town until 1703 when he removed to Charlestown, Massachusetts, and was made surveyor of highways there before the close of that year. From 1705 to 1713 he was in Charlestown and in 1727 he was a merchant in Newbury, Massachusetts. He was dismissed from the church in Charlestown to the Third Church of Newbury, August 3, 1728, and was elected deacon of that church November 4, of the same year. A very devout man he prayed that his posterity might never be cursed with riches and this prayer seems to have been an- swered. He married, January 27, 1697. Re- becca, daughter of Cornelius and Rebecca (Adams) Waldo, of Chelmsford, born Sep- tember 24, 1662, in Ipswich, died April 23, 1752, in Malden, having survived her hus- band almost nineteen years.

(VI) John, the youngest child of Edward and Rebecca (Waldo) Emerson, was born February 27. 1706, in Chelmsford, died July 11, 1774, in Topsfield, Massachusetts. He graduated from Harvard in 1726, was or- dained the same year and was settled as pas- tor of the church in Topsfield. November 27, 1728. For forty-six years he continued in charge of the church there. His salary was often in arrears and at one time he made a for- mal proposal to the church for dismissal. This was unanimously opposed and he was per- suaded to remain but the records show that he was frequently in financial distress because of the failure to pay his salary and the depre- ciation in value of the bills of credit in which he was paid. In 1758 the third church edifice of the parish was built. It was raised July 4, of that year, one hundred men participating in the labor of rearing the frame. The select- men were authorized to provide for this oc- casion one barrel of rum and cleven barrels of cider. The house cost seven hundred and
forty-three pounds, ten shillings and seven and three-quarter pence.

(VII) Elihu, fourth son of John and Eliza- beth (Pratt ) Emerson, was born December 19, 1743, in Topsfield, died June 2, 1781, in Norwich, Vermont. He was a farmer and country merchant residing many years in Westfield, Massachusetts, whence he removed to Norwich. He married, in 1766, Mary, daughter of Ezra and Margaret Clapp, of Westfield, born about 1750.

The surname Cowdrey or COWDREY Cowdery is derived from the French, meaning "Hazel Tree," or "Hazel Grove." The name has been variously spelled Coudrill, Coudrette, Coud- rail, Coudre, Coudraie, Coudrier, etc., in France, and in England it is spelled Cowdery, Cowdrey and Cowdray. In the town of Mid- hurst, county Sussex, England, about fifty miles from London, the old family seat is sit- uated, and it is still known as Cowdrey Cas-

tle, although it is not in possession of the family. The Park is composed of six hundred acres of land, and the castle was very beautiful and imposing before a fire destroyed the in- terior. For many years the Cowdrey family owned this fine estate, and as early as 1304 Thomas de Cowdray held it. The following coat-of-arms is taken from Berry's County Genealogies, Hampshire, Visitation of 1634: "Gules, ten billets, four, three, two and one, or." Crest : "Out of a ducal coronet, or, a dexter arm, in armour, embowed, ppr. gar- nished of the first, holding in the gauntlet an anchor sa. stock gold, the cable entwined round the arm of the third."
( I) William Cowdrey or Cowdery, immi- grant ancestor. was born in 1602 at Wey- mouth, England. died November 10, 1687, at Reading, Massachusetts. He sailed from Southampton, England, in 1630, and settled first at Lynn, Massachusetts, on the land on which stood the late Quannapowett House on the Common. He was a prominent and active citizen there for many years, and held the of- fices of clerk of the writs, town clerk, select- man and representative to the general assem- bly of the colonies. Ile was deacon of the church. In 1644 the town of Reading was in- corporated, and doubtless he was one of the first settlers about that time. Reading, ac- cording to the early records, was settled about 1639, and Lynn in 1629. In 1639 Lynn pe- titioned the court for a place for an inland plantation and they received four miles square at the head of their bounds, on condition that within two years they begin planting so that a village could be settled there. In 1640 the court ordered "That Lynn Village should be exempted from the taxes as soon as seven houses should be built and seven families set- tled," and in 1644, when the families were set- tled, it was ordered "That Lynn village should take the name of 'Redding.'" Just before Reading was settled. William Cowdery was taxed ten shilling in Lynn. In 1647 he was on a committee to divide the land among the settlers. From 1648 to 1650 the names of William and his wife Joanna are on the list of the First Congregational Church of Read- ing. In 1648 he was chosen to collect fines for not attending town meetings. In 1652 he drew twenty acres near the Woburn line. In 1654 he was licensed to sell liquors to the Indians, "as his judgment shall seem most meet and necessary for their relief in just and
urgent occasions and not otherwise, provided he shall not sell or deliver more than one pint upon any pretence whatever." In 1658 he was one of three commissioners to try small causes. In February, 1658 or 1659, he re- ceived 188 acres 57 perches in an allotment on the north side of Ipswich river. In June, 1658, he and John Smith laid out land which Thomas Tower bought of the town. In 1675 he signed a petition from the town "that whereas the Iron Works at Lynn stop fish from coming up to refresh and relieve the peo- ple, something may be done to remedy the matter."
His will was dated February 12, 1684. In it he mentioned his wife Alice, leaving her some stock, house furnishings, and one-third of the provisions which should be in the house left to his son Nathaniel; to his daughter Hannah he left five shillings ; to Hannah Polly's seven children, twenty shillings each when they should be of age; to grandchild Bethiah Carter, twenty shillings, and to grand- child Rebeckah Cowdery a pair of sheets; his son Nathaniel received the land he then lived on, half the homestead and meadow and two- thirds the orchard, and half the household goods not already given away ; his grandchild Nathaniel Cowdery received half the home- stead, meadow and a third of the orchard. with household goods. His son Nathaniel and grandson Nathaniel were executors of the will. There was an addition to the will dated Au- gust 24, 1685. and the inventory of his estate was dated December 14, 1687. Deacon Will- iam was town clerk of Reading from its set- tlement until his death, and he served always as selectman, generally chairman. He served often as representative to the general court from Reading, and wrote many wills for his fellow citizens.
One record says that he married Joanna in 1638 at Lynn and that Nathaniel was born in 1639, but no proof has been found. He married ( first ) Joanna , who died May 6. 1666. Hle married ( second ). December 5. 1666, Alse (Alice ) . Children by first wife: Nathaniel, mentioned below : Matthias. born September 30. 1641 ; Bethia. April 17. 1643; Hannah, married, September 18, 1667.

after him, on a farm which is still owned by the Cowdrey family, in part. He was deacon of the First Congregational Church of Read- ing. His will was dated June 6, 1690. He left all his movable estate to his wife Mary, and his son Mathias received twenty acres in Johns Neck and eight acres near the land of Mrs. Judith Hay: Samuel, his son, received ten acres near John Eaton's house, and the other ten acres in that lot went to his daugh- ters Rebecca, Mary, Joanna and Susan; his sons William and Mathias received the lot in Cedar Swamp. The inventory was dated June 30, 1690. He died June 16, 1690, at Read- ing.

Sam- uel, born November 18, 1701. 3. John, men- tioned below. There were probably other chil- dren. The Rhode Island family appears to be descended from Matthias.
(IV) John, son of Matthias Cowdrey, was born as early as 1710 in Boston or Chelmsford. He settled in that part of Chelmsford now Westford, Massachusetts. His name is some- times spelled Coudre. He married (first) Abigail -, and (second) May 30, 1744, Hannah Davis, of Groton, Massachusetts. She died May 15. 1761, and he died about 1760. In 1746 he was on the tax list of Billerica,
Massachusetts, and in 1749 he sold land to Ebenezer Prescott. On March 5, 1759, the town voted to accept "the transcript of a bridle way laid out from Jonas Prescott, Jrs. ; so by Capt. Prescotts and Timothy Prescotts (land) to John Cowdreys, to Groton bounds." On May 15, 1761, the town voted that the select- men should make every effort to recover the estate which had been wasted by the widow of John Cowdrey, and on June 19, 1761, a guard- ian, J. Prescott, was appointed for Hannah Cowdrey, widow.

He then went into partner- ship with his brother in the manufacture of carriages and blacksmithing. The firm con- tinued until 1843 when it was dissolved and he continued the business alone until 1871. In that year his plant was destroyed by fire, caus- ing him a loss of five thousand dollars. He then retired from active business and devoted the remainder of his life to the care of his

property and various public and private trusts. He took an active part in public affairs and was trustee of the incorporated village of Ith- aca from 1857 to 1871, fourteen years, a longer period than any other man has served in this office. In 1873-74 he was president of the village and his administration was dis- tinguished by the same shrewd and careful management of affairs that always character- ized his management of his own business. In politics he was a Democrat. He was for many years trustee and president of the Ithaca Sav- ings Bank and his knowledge of financial mat- ters made his services of great value to that institution. He was also a member of the Ithaca Mechanics Society and for a number of years its president. This society is one of the oldest and most useful institutions of the city. He was upright, just and honorable in all his business relations. In public life he adhered to the same high principles which guided his private and business affairs. In his home he was kindly, gentle and unselfish, strictly temperate in all things and exemplary in his habits and manner. Throughout his life he was a student and reader and his mind was a wonderful storehouse of learning and general information.
He married, in 1832, Mary Riley, a native of England, who came to America when seven years of age, daughter of Thomas and Fran- ces Riley. They had two children: Charles Edward: Belle, educated in the public schools and at the old Female Academy at Albany, New York : has been for many years a trustee of the Ithaca Hospital ; resides in the old home at Ithaca.
