We think we have demonstrated that the French, though historically pronounced poor colonists as compared with the English, have seemed to disprove that theory upon the limited theatre of Northern New York. Whenever we find pure French blood inter- mingled with the New England strain, it has developed a noticeable refinement in manners, a frugal business capacity, a love of letters, and in the second generation an entire assimi- lation into the true American fiber, both in patriotic sentiment and in moral growth. While the French are proverbially light of heart and not unmindful of a good dinner,

they are yet distinctly a religious people, and that was the reason why they so readily as- similated with the New England settlers of Jefferson county.

JAMES D. LERAY DE CHAUMONT.

IT is to be regretted that we are unable to present a more perfect portrait of this distin- guished man, whose relations with the early settlement of Jefferson county were more in- timate and important than those of any per- son who preceded or came after him. He was a nobleman of France, at the height of his early manhood, in 1793, when the Revolu- tion in that country threw everything into confusion. His own previous intimate friend- ship, as well as that of his father, with Ben- jamin Franklin, our minister to France, join- ed with his earnest sympathy, and his father's

important aid to the American colonies during their long struggle to throw off the yoke of England, had made him more or less familiar with American affairs. When the Bonapartists were driven out by the returning Bourbons, James D. LeRay, with many other European adherents of the deposed Napoleon, came to the United States. Mr. LeRay in- herited a heavy claim against this county for advances made in France by his father to aid the cause of the colonies, as well as for goods of various kinds, which he had sent over by the shipload. The United States had not money with which to pay the just claims which her creditors held, but the government had plenty of land, and many of her creditors were thus paid off. But the greater part of LeRay's purchase was dircet from the Chass-

nais Company-sometimes called the New York Company-whose title came from Macomb, who held his title by letters patent from the State of New York. The chain of title ran thus: State of New York to Wil- liam Constable; April 12, 1793, Constable con- veyed 210,000 acres to Chassnais. March 6, 1800, Constable also conveyed 30,000 acres to Chassnais, and these lands were subsequently conveyed by Chassnais to Mr. LeRay. [See references to these conveyances under heads of "Chassnais," the " New York Company," and " LeRay," in the index.

In 1815 Mr. LeRay became quite active in selling small tracts of land to the French ex- iles, who had adhered to the fortunes of Napoleon, and obliged to flee from the dis- asters that overtook the empire. Among the most distinguished of these French noblemen, were Peter Francis Real, the chief prefect of police of the empire, and known in French history as Count Real. Also Marshal Grouchy, the distinguished military leader, whose tardiness at Waterloo dissipated the glory of Napoleon, and changed the destiny of France. They, with the Duc de Vincenes and others, formed a colony of French exiles at Cape Vincent. F. R. Hasler, the eminent French philosopher, came there to reside with his family.

Louis Peugnet, an officer of Napoleon, was also one of the exiles who joined them. These French refugees were deluded with visions that Napoleon would, some day, be abducted from his prison home on St. Helena to take up his residence in their colony. They built a house for his occupation at Cape Vin- cent, which for many years was called the "Cup and Saucer House." After the restora- tion of the Bourbons and the death of Napol- eon, Louis XVIII. granted an amnesty to all political exiles, and many of these refugees returned to France.

LeRay built a land office on Broadway, in New York city, which is still standing. He also made frequent visits to Cape Vincent, which he named after his son. While at his estate in France, in 1815, he heard of the arri- val of Joseph Bonaparte, the ex-King of Spain, at Blois. He had known this prince before his great elevation, and was his guest at Montefontaine when the treaty of Septem- ber 30, 1800, between the United States and France was signed, but he had not met him afterwards. Seeing, however, that misfor- tune had assailed the prince, he remembered him and hastened to Blois for an interview. He made a bargain with the deposed king to sell him a tract of 120.000 acres of land in ex- change for diamonds, which were some of the crown jewels of the throne of Spain. The price of these jewels having depreciated nearly one-half, a compromise was effected by which the ex-king accepted a deed, dated December 21, 1818, for 60,000 acres of land, located mostly in the towns of Diana, Wilna, Antwerp and Philadelphia. When the prince came to the United States, he assumed the title of Count de Survilliers. In 1816, LeRay with his daughter and his distinguished son-

in-law, the Marquis de Gouvillo, sailed for America. He then put new vigor into the work of settling up his lands. He built a saw mill and grist mill on the Indian river at Theresa Higlı Falls. He surveyed a lot of 1,000 acres as a reservation, and laid out streets and building lots for the village of Theresa, which he named after his daughter. He erected a forge and blast furnace at Car- thage, then called Long Falls, under the supervision of Claudius S. Quilliard. From this furnace large quantities of iron were manufactured from the ore. In 1819 he re- moved his land office to Carthage, and con- structed the old Alexandria road from Car- thage through Philadelphia and Theresa to the St. Lawrence River at Alexandria Bay. He freely gave lots for churches, school- houses and graveyards.

Mr. LeRay was a firm believer in the Roman Catholic faith, and observed its rites and sacred traditions, but when application was made for a church lot, he never inquired about the creed or denomination. The Mar- quis de Gouvillo and wife remained here a year before returning to France. LeRay im- ported, at great expense, fine blooded horses, cattle and sheep, to improve the stock in Jefferson county. He bestowed great care upon his villa at LeRaysville. His circular carriage drives, his beautiful lawns. his fine selection of plants and fruits, which flourish- ed in his garden, the grand shaded avenues in front of his grounds, the elegant deer park and the whole surrounded by the forest of maples, are preserved until this day. This all betokened a French gentleman of culture and refinement. He adopted that princely style of living which characterized him through the remainder of his sojourn in America, em- ploying a large retinue of servants, land agents and surveyors, forming, in themselves, a small community. He rode in a post- coach, drawn by four horses, and two post riders on horseback followed behind, over newly-cut roads, around stumps and over corduroy turnpikes. His bountiful hospital- ity and sumptuous entertainments attracted to his luxurious home many of the first men of the nation. President Monroe, in 1817, made a tour of inspection of the northern frontier. He arrived in Ogdensburg, August 1, 1817, where he was joined by Gen. Jacob Brown and others. The President and his escort passed through Rossie and Antwerp to enjoy the princely hospitality at the magnifi- cent home of LeRay, and renew a friendship contracted 30 years before. Mr. Monroe then visited Sackets Harbor, and there met Col. Woolsey and other distinguished officers of the navy. After inspecting the public works he embarked on board the United States brig Jones, and sailed for Niagara.

Through the encouragement of LeRay, who offered to furnish money to pay the pre- miums, a meeting of the most prominent men of the county was held at the house of Isaac Lee, in Watertown, October 25, 1817, for the purpose of organizing the Jefferson County Agricultural Society. James D. LeRay de

Chaumont was elected president. and con- tinued to hold that office until 1829, when Gen. Jacob Brown was made vice-president. Egbert TenEyck was made secretary, and Orrin Stone, treasurer. The first cattle show and fair of the society was held in Watertown on the 28th and 29th of September, 1818, in a field on the north side of the river, on LeRay street. This was the first cattle show held in the State, with the exception of one held in Otsego county, through the patronage of Mr. LeRay, in 1817.

In 1819 Mr. LeRay employed a young chemist of the Polytechnic School, who had invented a new mode of manufacturing powder. A powder mill was erected at Slo- cum's Mills, on Pleasant Creek, and was run a few years, making a coarse quality of pow- der, which had the reputation of being lazy, but it was strong and well adapted for blast- ing. The charcoal used was made of alder wood, carefully peeled and charred in close, iron retorts. The mill was afterwards chang- ed to a mill for making starch from potatoes.

In 1822, the beautiful villa in which Mr. LeRay resided, was burned to the ground. and the present grand mansion was erected upon the ruins. It is constructed of lime- stonc, plastered with cement, and is modeled somewhat after the style of his father's chat- eau at Passey, in France, but not so elabor- ate or expensive in its construction. It is 100 feet long, and the main structure is 40 feet wide. and two stories high with a basement. The mansion has two fronts. The grand front has a broad veranda with high doric columns extending to the crest of the roof. It is ap- proached through a beautiful lawn, surround- ed by a circular carriage drive, and a grand shaded avenue in front. When built, it was the finest country residence in the State of New York.

This old historic French mansion passed into the possession of Jules Rene Payen in 1840, a distinguished French engineer and chemist, and is now occupied by William Phelps, E-q., and family. Mr. Joseph Fayel says that nearly 60 years ago he went with his father on a visit, and was most royally en- tertained by Mr. LeRay. The grounds and surroundings at that time displayed the culti- vated taste and refinement of a French gentle- man. On a recent visit with his wife, through the kindness of Mrs. Phelps, Mr. Fayel was conducted through the interior of the mansion. From the front they entered a triangular vestibule, from the side of which doors open into two large stately drawing rooms, separated by massive sliding doors. These rooms, when connected, are 60 feet long and 20 feet wide. In the centre, back of these front rooms, is a spacious hall with an outside entrance from the back front. From this hall a winding stairway leads to the upper floor, which is divided into sleeping apartments. To the right of this hall is a large, neatly-furnished family room. Con- nected with this room is a suite of rooms formerly allotted to Young James, the son of Vincent LeRay and his instructor. On the

336

THE GROWTH OF A CENTURY.

left of the hall is a large room used by Mr. LeRay as a reception room, adjoining which were his sleeping apartments and private library and counting room. In all these rooms are beautiful fire places and mantels of Italian marble; also velvet carpets and modern furniture. Mr. LeRay left several relics, among which are two large mantel mirrors extending to the ceiling, two mantel clocks of ancient design, two candelabras and a finely-finished mahogany secretary, which was used by Mr. LeRay himself.

The old French mansion has received good care, is well preserved and still retains all of its original style of architecture, but the sur- roundings are sadly neglected, and the virgin forest with its wealth of old maples, that still surrounds the grounds, contains but few traces of the cultivated taste of Mr. LeRay.

In 1825 at the completion of the Erie canal, opening to emigration the States on the Ohio river with a less vigorous climate, and oper- ating disastrously upon the large landed proprietors of the east, Mr. LeRay found himself unable to meet the sea of trouble on which he had embarked, for his liberality and expenses were enormous. He was at last compelled to apply for the benefit of the in- solvent act, and surrendered his estate to his son Vincent for the benefit of his creditors. His landed property in the State of New York, which he transferred to Vincent at the time of making his assignment, consisted of 30,759 acres of land in Franklin county valued at $22,500; 73,947 in St. Lawrence county, $106,000; 143,500 in Jefferson county, $574,000; 100,000; in Lewis county, $133,- 000. Total number of acres, 348,206. Total amount, $835,500. The winding up of Mr. LeRay's affairs was so well managed as to satisfy all the claims of his crediitors in full in America, and Vincent, with his systematic and close business methods, realized a large fortune from the estate.

This change in the condition of affairs of Mr. LeRay very much subdued his noble spirit. He was compelled to reduce his per- sonal expenses, which were limited by Vin- cent to $10,000 per year. If this distinguished man had a fault as a land holder, it was in being over indulgent in allowing payments to pass by, and too willingly listening to the complaints of settlers, by which both himself and his purchasers unfortunately were the losers. He was an exemplary family man. He always kissed his children when he de- parted from his home and when he returned. He was firm in his faith of the Roman Catho- lic religion, believed in its traditions and strictly adhered to its consecrated rites; and vet he was very tolerent towards all other denominations. He was a man of large views; nothing small or contracted ever entered his brain. He soon retired from active life and spent his time alternating between his beloved France and America, the country of his adoption. He never took an active part in politics, seldom voting. He did vote, however, for Thomas Jefferson, James Mon- roe and John Quincy Adams, because they

were his personal friends and because he had faith in their patriotism.

Mr. LeRay, like Lafayette, loved and cherished the principles of Republicanism, yet he never fraternized with that frenzied rabble controlled by the Parisian mob, insti- gated by that blood-thirsty trio, Robespierre, Danton and Murat, who incited the Revolu- tion, which for savage atrocity has no paral- lel in history, and the three years' reign of terror which deluged the royal palaces in blood, and clouded with a lurid gloom the future of France, must ever remain one of the most brutal instances of popular excess that has ever darkened the page of history.

Mr. LeRay, with his family, departed for France, June 15, 1836, making his last voy- age-never returning to America, the land he loved so well. He had now made sixteen voyages in sailing ships and packets, for At- lantic steamers were unknown in those days. At the age of 80 years, when full of health and vigor, and his mind unimpaired, he was attacked with inflammation of the chest, which in five days resulted in his death, on the 31st of December, 1840. He will long be gratefully remembered by the citizens of Jef- ferson county for his public-spirited improve- ments and his dignified and courteous man- ners.

His three children and two sisters survived him. Alexander LeRay went to Texas, and was killed in 1844 in a duel. His daughter, Theresa, the Countess de Gouvillo, died in 1853 and left one son, a lieutenant in the army. He came to this country with the Boulanger party in 1881, as an invited guest, to represent the LeRay family at the centen- nial celebration of the surrender of Cornwallis at Yorktown, 100 years before. The Count de Gouvillo visited Jefferson county, and the mansion of his grandfather and other historic places.

Vincent succeeded to his father's estate in 1825, and was a close, methodical business man. Although he loved to make money, he was proverbially honest, and paid to the last cent all the liabilities of his father. He married Cornelia, a daughter of Madame Juehel, and had a son named James, the Count de St. Paul, who has made several visits to the United States. Vincent died with cancer of the mouth, in 1866, and left another son named Charles, the Marquis de St. Paul. He is now 42 years old, and has been married about 20 years, with no children, and the probabilities are that at his death the grand old historic name of LeRay will be en- closed in the same tomb forever,

For many of the facts in this article we are under obligation to Joseph Fayel, of Theresa, whose father was for 40 years an inmate of the LeRay family.

It is true that there were other rural coun- ties which also felt the influence of French immigration-notably Otsego and Oneida, but Jefferson county had contained more of these people, and they were of a better class than fell usually to the lot of other localities.

THE SUPERVISORS OF JEFFERSON COUNTY.

SUPERVISORS FROM 1854 TO 1894.

THROUGH the courtesy of Mr. Pierce, the accommodating County Clerk, we are able to present in a condensed form, the list of super- visors from 1854 (to which date Hough's his- tory brings up the list) to 1894, the final year of the century since the Black River country began to be settled; and thus our readers have a reasonably definite mass of data upon that subject. Preceding this list of the supervisors, we give a list of members of Assembly from the earliest settlements up to 1894, and for this list, also, we are under obligation to Mr. Pierce, who has taken an active interest in our enterprise, showing his full comprehension of the duty a public officer owes to his constituency. He is evi- dently the right man in the right place.
