He was of the firm of Esaias Warren & Company, Troy, 1798, continuing until March 1, 1827.

purpose of maintaining and condneting a free school." December 7, 1848, Rev. John Ire- land Tucker was ordained to the priesthood and became the first rector of the Church of the Holy Cross, April 5, 1849. The name of the "Warren Free Institute" was changed by act of legislature to "The Mary Warren Free Institute of the City of Troy." In 1889 the church was handsomely improved, Dr. Nathan B., Stephen E. and George Henry Warren contributing the necessary funds. The en- larged chancel was dedicated December 24, 1889. on which occasion the choirman of the church wore for the first time an ecclesiastical habit. This church was one of the earliest of the free churches of the Episcopal com- munion built in the United States. In it was first introduced the choral service, and mainly through the liberality of Dr. Nathan B. War- ren. The girls of the school who composed the choir had been dressed in English fash- ion, in a uniform of long scarlet cloaks and black hats. Proverbs xxxi: 21, reads: "For all her household are clothed with scarlet." and applied to Mrs. Warren's birthday, April 21. The children of Mary ( Bouton) War- ren were the donors of the organ, the chime of bells, and the richly colored windows. Oth- ers of the family contributed the beautiful brass lectern, a fac-simile of the one in Exe- ter Cathedral. England, and the brass corona. A stone tablet set in the west wall of the ante- chapel reads :


"This church, free to all people. was founded by Mary, widow of Nathan Warren, A.D., MDCCCVLIV. The antechapel contemplated by the founder was built by her children as a memo- rial to their venerated mother, who on the VIII day of February A.D. MDCCCLIX in the LXX year of her age entered into that rest which re- mains for the people of God."

Ile was admitted to the firm of Esaias Warren & Company on the withdrawal of the father, and in association with his two brothers Esaias and Nathan con- clueted the business until March 1. 1827, when the firm was dissolved. The good feeling and perfeet confidence that existed between these brothers is rarely equaled. In 1806 Stephen Warren was ensign of the "Trojan Greens." a local military company. In 1832 he was a member of the first board of directors of the Rensselaer & Saratoga Railroad Company, in- corporated by the legislature that year: in 1829 one of the incorporators of the Troy Water Works Company, that later surren- dered its rights to the city of Troy; in 1810- 11. fire warden from the third ward of Troy. In 1829 he was chosen president of the Bank of Troy, holding that position until his death in 1847, succeeding his brother, Esaias War- ren, who had served since the bank was or- ganized in 1811. Stephen Warren was fol- lowed in the office of president by his son, Joseph M. Warren, the intervening president being Nathan Dauchy, 1847 to 1853. Stephen Warren was also president of the Troy Sav- ings Bank from October 7, 1839, until liis death. He was a member of the state legis- lature in 1823, and a presidential elector.

(VI) Honorable Joseph Mabbett, eldest son of Stephen and Martha Cornell ( Mab- bett ) Warren, was born in Troy, New York. January 28, 1813. died in that city. Septem- ber 9. 1896. He graduated from Washing- ton, now Trinity College, and was admitted to the firm of Hart, Lesley & Warren, March 1, 1840, who were the successors ( through many firm changes) of the oldest hardware house in Troy, founded in 1809 by Jacob Hart and Henry Nazro, at No. 6 Lane's Row, for the sale of "hardware, ironmongery, cutlery and saddlery." On the admission of Joseph M. Warren and William Henry Warren to the firm. the name was changed to Warrens, Hart & Lesley. February 1, 1855, Joseph M. Warren and Charles W. Tillinghast succeed- ed to the business as J. M. Warren & Co. In 1864 Walter P. Warren was admitted. Feb-


ruary 10, 1887. the proprietors incorporated the business under the J. M. Warren & Com- pany, with Joseph M. Warren president of the corporation. continuing until his death. This company continues one of the solid sub- stantial business houses of Troy. Mr. War- ren was a capable head of their large business and thorough master of the situation at all times. In 1909 the firm celebrated its one hundredth anniversary. Mr. Warren had oth- er interests, both public and private in their nature. He was one of a committee of nine to arrange for the sale by the city of Troy of the Schenectady & Troy railroad, which had become a heavy burden upon the taxpay- ers. He was director of the Farmers' Bank and of the Bank of Troy, later consolidated in the United National Bank of Troy, of which he was the first president. In 1853 he was chosen president of the Bank of Troy, con- tinuing in that office until 1865. His father, Stephen Warren, was president of the same bank from 1829 to 1847. succeeding his broth- er, Esaias Warren, who served from 1811 to 1829. Save for an interval of six years, 1847 to 1853, a Warren was president of the bank during its entire life of fifty-four years. He was a trustee of the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute ; water commissioner of the city of Troy from 1855-57 ; mayor of Troy 1851-52; one of the organizers and members of the board of managers of the Troy Club. 1867. He was a Democrat in politics, and represent- ed the Troy district in congress, 1871-73. This record of a busy life but hints at the measures of his activity. He was interested in everything that pertained to the business. religious, educational or civic life in Troy. His support for any worthy object could al- ways be relied upon. His charity, was unos- tentatious, but extensive. He was senior war- den of Saint Paul's Episcopal Church, and a devout churchman.' His life was a success- ful one, and he left to his posterity an honor- able record.


He married. September 9. 1835. Elizabeth Adelaide Phelps, born March 3, 1815, died July 20, 1891, daughter of Walter and Julia Steel ( Beach ) Phelps, of Hartford, Connec- ticut.

(VII) Walter Phelps, second son of Joseph Aabbett and Elizabeth Adelaide (Phelps) Warren, was born in Troy, New York, June 13. 1841. He was educated at the Troy Acad- emy and at Walnut Hill School, Geneva, New York. He early entered business and has spent a life of continuous activity. In Feb- ruary, 1864, he was admitted a member of the firm of J. M. Warren & Company, of Troy. He withdrew from that firm in 1871, and at once became associated with Fuller, Warren & Company, of Troy, which firm was incorpor- ated in 1881 under the name of Fuller & War- ren Company. This company enjoys the dis- tinction of perpetuating the business of manu- facturing stoves in Troy begun in 1828 by the firm of L. Stratton & Son, at the Rensselaer furnace, 42 Fifth Avenue. There were many changes in firm personnel prior to Fuller & Warren Company, whose works, covering six acres in Troy, are known as the "Clinton Stove Works." They have an extensive plant in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and salesrooms in the principal cities of the country. Mr. War- ren was trustee and vice-president of the orig- inal corporation, and on the death of Joseph W. Fuller, the president, in 1890, was elected president, which office he still fills ( 1911). Among his many other business activities are the following : Vice-president of the Troy Savings Bank ; director of the Fuller-Warren Company of Milwaukee; Rensselaer & Sara- toga Railroad Company; Albany & Vermont Railroad Company; Saratoga & Schenectady Railroad Company ; Troy & Cohoes Railroad Company, and the National City Bank of Troy. In May, 1905, he was elected president of the Stove Manufacturers' Association of the United States, and is now ( 1910) vice- president of the Troy Chamber of Commerce. In 1889-90-91 he was a member of the Public Improvement Commission of Troy. In 1889


he was president of the Troy Citizens' .Asso- ciation, and was vice-president of the Troy Centennial Association that so splendidly ar- ranged and carried through the one hundredth anniversary celebration of Troy, 1889.


He is a director of the Samaritan Hospital, and of the Church Home, both of Troy. He is also a trustee of the Troy Orphan Asylum, and is a member of the Citizens' Corps, and was elected president of the reorganization in 1878, and lieutenant in Sixth Separate Com- pany, now Company A, Sccond Regiment, New York National Guard. From 1864 to 1868 he served on the staff of Governor Hoff- man, with the rank of colonel. Through his colonial and revolutionary ancestry, he de- rives membership in the patriotic orders. He is regent of William Floyd Chapter, Sons of the Revolution; a member of the Founders and Patriots, Colonial Wars, Colonial Gov- ernors, and Mayflower societies. He is also a member of the New York Genealogical and Biographical Society. His clubs are the Union and Manhattan of New York City; the Phila- delphia, Lenox and Troy, the latter of which he is president, elected first in 1899. He is a member of the Episcopal church, founded in Troy by his ancestors, and was a trustee of Saint Paul's Free Chapel (now Saint Bar- nabas Chapel, an independent organization ), appointed by the vestry of Saint Paul's Church to manage the affairs of the chapel, then a mission of the mother church. In poli- tics Mr. Warren is a Democrat, but has never espoused any of the financial heresies of re- cent years, but has always taken a deep in- terest in all reform movements affecting mu- nicipal, federal or state politics. He is a ready, effective and pleasing public speaker, and an untiring worker for the interests of his native city. His ancestors on both sides date back to those hardy, self-sacrificing colonists who endured the privations and bravely overcame the perils of their period and rendered possi- ble the establishment of civil and religions liberty, that rich inheritance of the present generation.

The ancestor of the De Witt family in America was Tjerck DE WITT Claessen De Witt, of whom the first mention made is to be found in the "Trouw Boeck," or register of marriages of the Reformed or Collegiate Dutch church of New York City. There it is recorded that on April 24. 1656, "Tjerck Claessen De Witt van Grootholdt en Zunderlandt" ( Westphalia ) married "Barbara Andriessen van Amster- (lam." He was the son of Nicholas De Witt, of Holland, one of the members of a most influential family. It is not known whether other of his relatives actually came over from Ilolland at the same time that he did: but it is thought probable, as he had a sister, Em- merentje, who married Martinus Hoffman in 1662, at New Amsterdam, and his brother, Jan


Claessen De Witt, died, unmarried, at Kings- ton, New York, in 1699.


Tjerck C. De Witt resided in New York for a short time following his marriage in 1656, where his first child was born; but removed in the spring of the following year to Albany, where he purchased a house and lot. He ex- changed this in September, 1660, with Ma- dame de Flutter, for land in Wiltwyck ( Kings- ton ), Ulster county, New York, with "posses- sion to be given May 1, 1661." Here he lived until his death, and for two centuries and a half the place remained in the family. He was undoubtedly a man of means, as is shown by the fact that in 1661 he was taxed one hun- dred and twenty-five guilders ( equal to about $50) to help pay for a new church building in Esopus, and in 1662 he owned No. 28 of the "New Lots." His eldest daughter, Taatje, was carried away from him by the Indians, June 7, 1663, during the destruction of Kings- ton and Hurley, but was rescued. Governor Lovelace ceeded to him "a parcel of bush-land, together with a house, lot, orchard, and calves' pasture, lying near Kingston, in Esopus," on June 25, 1672, and Governor Andros. October 8, 1677, deeded to him about fifty acres of woodland west of the town. He was, on February 11, 1679, one of the signers of a re- newal of the Nichols treaty with the Esopus Indians. He joined with others, in 1684, pe- titioning Governor Thomas Dongan that there might be "liberty by charter to this county (U'lster ) to choose our owne officers to every towne court by the major vote of the freehold- ers." The petition greatly offended the au- thorities, so that the signers were arrested and fined for this display of a desire for free or local self-government. The trustees of Kings- ton conveyed to him one hundred and eighty- nine acres of land, February 13. 1685, and June 6, 1685, he claimed two hundred and ninety acres lying upon the north side of Rondout Kill, known as Momboccus, which was granted to him by patent May 14, 1694. He was elected a magistrate of Ulster county, March 4. 1689. He died at Kingston, New York, February 17, 1700. By his will, dated March 4, 1608, he left his property to his wife for life, and directed that after her death it be divided between his oldest and youngest sons, in trust, and by them divided into twelve equal shares, to be given to each of his chil- dren or their heirs; but to Lucas he devised the one-half of a sloop he had built the year before, and his widow was named executrix.


Tjerck Claessen De Witt married, at New Amsterdam, April 24, 1656, Barbara Andries- sen, who died July 6, 1714. Children : 1. An- dries, born in New York City (New Amster-
