HISTORY OF WESTCHESTER COUNTY.

faithfully at his post until the army was disbanded in 1783. When he received his discharge in Virginia, as a testimonial of regard for a faithful and courageous soldier, he was presented with the sword he had earried through the various re- verses and successes of the "Lafayette Brigade of Light Infantry." With his sword as a staff, Mr. Keeler marehed home to Ridgefield. In the winter of 1784-85 he returned to Virginia and taught school. In 1787 he commenced the construction of the Keeler mansion, which he completed the follow- ing year. On the 23d of April, 1788, he married Huldah Hull, of Limestone District, Ridgefield, first cousin of Aaron Burr, and moved into his new house. Mr. Keeler was a prominent member of the Presby- terian Church, South Salem, and for many years a justiee of the peace. He died February 9, 1853, at the age of ninety-three. Mr. Keeler's children numbered eleven. Huldah G. married John Bouton ; Timothy HI. settled in South Carolina, where he died; Sallie M. married Newman Mead ; Anna Maria married Alfred Avery ; Jeremiah W. died in South Carolina ; Thad- deus H. married Laura A. Avery and lived and died on the old homestead; John Ely is now living in Brooklyn. The rest of the children died young. At the old mansion may still be seen the sword which was presented to Sergeant Keeler, and the family Bible, containing the family records of Jeremiah Keeler and his father, at the head of which is this memorandum in the handwriting of Mr. Keeler: " Jeremiah Keeler had this Holy Book from the Es- tate of his deceased father on ye 16th April, 1799." In a little cemetery near the old mansion, around a fine monument, sleep the remains of a number of the Keeler family.

The Keeler family has a somewhat remarkable record for longevity, as the following will show :

Aaron Keeler died December 31, 1811, at the age of fifty-one, leaving a widow and eleven ehildren. One child died before the father and one was born after his death, so that the family numbered thirteen children, as follows : Nancy, born December 4. 1791, lied December 21, 1884; John, born January 14, 1793, died February 20, 1868; Jeremiah, born June 22, 1794, died January 21, 1860; Lois, born May 22, 1796, still living; Esther, born February 26, 1798, still living ; Anna, born January 25, 1800, died May 23, 1820; Abbie, born August 5, 1801, died April 5, 1864; Mary, born February 15, 1803, still living: Harriet, born April 8, 1804, died June 21, 1808; Lewis, born May 5, 1806, still living ; Sallie, born November 5, 1807, still living ; Eli, born September 18, 1810, still living ; Aaron, born Angust 17, 1812, still living.

Sylvanns Ferris, another Revolutionary worthy, was born in the town of Greenwich, Connecticut, August 10, 1737. He married Mary Mead, who was also born in Greenwich, September 10, 1743. They lived in their native town prosperous and happy till the ontbreaking of the Revolutionary War, when Mr.

Ferris, espousing the eanse of freedom, became ob- noxious to his Tory neighbors. He served in the campaign against Ticonderoga and Crown Point.

Mr. Ferris was persecuted in Greenwich to such an extent that he sold out what the Torics and Cowboys had left him, and on the 28th of May, 1782, purchased from Eli Rundle th farm now owned by Mr. Lawson. The house stands nearly opposite the Lewisboro post-office. He moved his family there immediately, and commenced the business of farin - ing and keeping a country hotel. The house was known to travelers as an inn until 1815. Mrs. Ferris, with saddle-bags filled with stockings of her own and neighbors' knitting, made annual visits to the city of New York on horseback, disposed of the goods, purchased such artieles as herself and neighbors need- cd, and brought what she could home with her. On one of these visits Mrs. Ferris pulled a sprout from one of the large black walnut trees north of Harlem Bridge for a whip. When she reached her home she planted it, and the immense tree that grew from it can now be seen at the old homestead. Mr. Ferris' family consisted of four sons and five daughters. Seven of them were born in Greenwich and two in Salem. Henry, the eldest, settled in Cato Four Cor- ners, Cayuga County, New York. His two sons, Justiee and Thatcher, became prominent men in pol- ities and in the affairs of the town, and served in the Legislature. Sylvanus married Sarah Olmstead, of Ridgefield, Connecticut. Soon after his marriage he moved to Norway, New York, where he became highly respected for his integrity and sound judgment. In 1837 he removed to Galesburg, Illinois, where he died at the age of eighty-three. Gideon lived and died on the old homestead. He was the father of the present Mr. C. M. Ferris, now of Norwalk, the first postmas- ter at Lewisboro. James moved to Neweomerstown, Ohio. Molly married a Hayes and Hannah a Ray- mond, and moved to Charlton, New York. Sarah married a Morgan and lived in Wilton, Connecticut. Betsy married a Mr. Darling and lived a number of years in Reading, Connecticut ; then moved to Mary- land. Mr. Cyrus M. Ferris, of Norwalk, has in his possession a wateh which belonged to his grand- father, Sylvanus, who carried it through the Indian Wars and the campaign of Ticonderoga and Crown Point. When the Tories made a raid on him he saved his watch by burying it in the ashes behind the back-log. The watch, which he purchased in 1754, is still in a good state of preservation.

The Meade' family came originally from Somer- setshire, or Devonshire, inta County Essex, England, during the reign of King Henry VI. (A. D. 1422 , and first settled at " Elmdon." There seems to have been eight distinct families of the name in England, known by their respective coats-of-arms, four having the Pelican, and four the Trefoil as their heraldlie design.

LEWISBORO.

A number of distinguished individuals were nun- bered among these English families ; among others, Rev. Matthew Mead, a celebrated non-conformist di- vine in the reign of Charles I., and his son, Dr. Richard, who was appointed physician in ordinary to King George II., and who first practiced inoculation in England. The name is spelled both with and without the final "e." The Earl of Clan-William line always used the "e." That family is of Irish extraction, and is the one from which the Meades of Virginia are derived. In England the spelling was variable.

The family in this country, at least that portion which settled in Fairfield County, Conneetient, pre- served the tradition that two brothers came over from England and that one stopped at the eastward while the other came to " Horse-neek " (Greenwich), Conn. The tradition is possibly correct, as a Gabriel Mead and David Mead settled in Lexington, Mass. Gabriel was born iu 1587 and died in 1666, aged seventy-nine. A son, Israel, was born in 1639 and there were several daughters. David was possibly also a son of Gabriel, though he does not seem to be mentioned in the will.1

The first record of any Mead in Fairfield County, Connecticut, is the following in Stamford town records :

"December 7, 1641, William Mayd received from the Town of Stani- ford a house lot and five acres of land."

The date 1641 agrees with the Lexington dates and seems to bear out the tradition of the family as men- tioned. This William is the ancestor of the Fairfield County Meads. We have record of three children, though there were probably four. A son who died in 1657-58 is noted in Huntington's "History of Stam- ford."

The three children of William, of whom we have record, are Joseph, born 1630, died 1690 ; Martha, mar- ried Jolin Richardson, of Stamford; and John, the an- eestor of the Greenwich Meads. Both Joseph and Jolin were settled for a time at Hempstead, Long Island, but they afterwards removed to Fairfield County, and located there. John purchased land of Richard Crab and the deed is dated October 26, 1660. The de- scendants of William are practically innumerable.

The Westchester County braneh was established in the town of Lewisboro, (then South Salein), abont the year 1776 by Col. Enoch Mead, a brother of Major- General Ebenezer Mead, of Greenwich, Conn. Col. Mead married, at the age of twenty, Miss Jemima Mead, daughter of Caleb Mead, of Greenwich, who was in her twentieth year. He and his young bride made a journey of exploration np into Massachusetts, on horseback, but returned and settled on a ridge traversed by the New York and Albany Post road, about half a mile south of Lake Waccabuc. Here he

built a log house in which he was still living when the war of Independence broke out, and in which was born his oldest son, Col. Solomon Mead, but from which he soon removed to the house, still standing, which is owned and occupied by his descendants. Col. Enoch Mead was a man of great energy and ability, and his wife, who long survived him, was a woman of heroic resolution and indomitable courage. Many traditions are preserved in the family of their patriotic and self-sacrificing devotion to the national cause and of the risks they ran-of the swift horse which had to be kept in the cellar ; of the repulse of a band of marauding cowboys by the youthful matron. alone, except for an infant child and a negro slave boy ; of the flight of the little household into the woods at the rumored approach of the enemy. Col. Enoch Mead served at one time on the staff of his brother, the general, but managed, while the war was still in progress, to get his new house built for his young wife. Here their family of nine children were born, six of them living to a good old age, and the other three dying iu childhood and early youth. Here the oldest son, Colonel Solomon, died in 1870, at the great age of ninety-two years. The place is now known as "Elmdon."

Colonel Solomon was, like his father, a man of un- common ability, and through his long life his services were in constant demand as a friendly adviser and arbitrator. He also married very young, wedding, at the age of twenty, Miss Eunice Gilbert, aged nine- teen. The oldest son of this youthful couple, Jacob Gilbert Mead, died at his place, a few hundred yards to the northward, in 1884, at the advanced age of eighty-four. Colonel Solomon, as were his parents and a number of his children, was buri 1 in the fam- ily burying-ground, about one-quarter of a mile south of his former residence.

The eastern boundary of the farm was formerly that of Cortlandt Manor,-the so-called twenty-mile line, which divided it from Connecticut; and the rnde monument erected by the commissioners in 1734, to mark au angle of the line, is still standing in the stone wall of which it forms a part.

The second son, Alfred (or, as he always, for some unaccountable reason, spelled it, Alphred), was estab- lished a little way down the road and before many years eight comfortable houses in succession, on as many flourishing farms, were occupied by members of the family, all bearing the family name, so that the road became kuown as Mead Street. The first minister of the Presbyterian Church in South Salem was Parson Solomon Mead, who was an unele of Colonel Enoch Mead. He was settled May 19, 1752, and remained in charge nntil shortly before his death, in 1812, at the age of eighty-six. He was very eccentric and grew more so as age increased upon him. Many amusing stories have been told of his peculiarities. He lies buried in the cemetery at South Salen, and a neat tombstone marks his resting-place.

1 The historian of the Lexington family does not beheve there is any connection between the two families, though the dates of settlement agree very nearly.

HISTORY OF WESTCHESTER COUNTY.

There is another and apparently a distinct family of Meads in the neighborhood of Lake Waccabue and Waccabuc Mountain. The first one of this family was Charles Mead, who was born in Greenwich and for many years worked on the farm of Deacon Abra- ham Mead, also an uncle of Colonel Enoch. As this Charles was born in 1743, and appears to have been over forty years of age when he married, he could not have gone to South Salem carlier than 1788. His parentage is involved in obscurity, but his descend- ants are many.

The following genealogy is that of the family of William, who settled in Stamford in 1641.
