(VII) James, son of Visscher and Eliza Ann (Youngs) Ten Eyck, was born in Al- bany, February 16, 1840, died in Albany, July 28, 1910. He received his earliest edu- cation at the Albany Academy; he then at- tended Burlington College, New Jersey. from which he was graduated in 1855.

senior partner of this firm, which enjoyed prosperity which warranted the erection of a large building of its own in 1907, and which is of great utility.

In Masonic circles he was known the breadth of the land, and was most actively identified with the fraternity since his initia- tion into Masters Lodge, November 23, 1863. He was the oldest thirty-third degree Mason in Albany. He was made master in 1873, continuing until 1877, passing all the chairs. He was elected grand master of Masons in the state of New York, June 8, 1892, and on being unanimously reelected declined. In this capacity he had a larger jurisdiction than any other Mason in the world, excepting only the Prince of Wales, and had the honor of presiding over eighty thousand Masons. He officiated at the laying of the corner-stones of the New York State Armory in Albany, of Harmanus Bleecker Hall, the Albany Masonic burial lot and of the Burns monument in Washington park. He presided at the jubilee of the Masonic fraternity when it celebrated the final payment of the debt on the Masonic Temple of New York City, April 24, 1889, and bore a large share in the work of erecting the handsome temple in Albany, one of the ornaments of the city.

For many years Mr. Ten Eyck was an ac- tive participant in the city's affairs, being at one time on the directorate of no less than thirteen boards. He was chosen president of the Home Savings Bank in January. 1896. He was a member of St. Peter's (Episcopal) church, of the Fort Orange and Albany clubs, and was the only honorary member of the Aca- cia club. Ile was a principal shareholder in the Hotel Ten Eyck, the leading hotel of the Capital City. He was a Republican all his life, taking an interest in clean politics and civic government. He served as chairman of the general county committee, and was at the head of the citizens' committee having in charge the reception in 1891 to President Har- rison. In fact. he was named upon almost every public committee of importance having a civic undertaking in charge. and always did his share.

Mr. Ten Eyck was elected president of the Albany Institute and Historical and Art So- ciety, an organization dating back to 1791, and it was under his officiation that the hand- some, new building on Washington avenue was opened. It had an enormous debt en- cumbering it, which he was largely instru- mental in having wiped out, calling meetings weekly until he had accomplished his praise- worthy object. As a collector of coins he was known all over the country as possessing one

of the finest collections in America. It con- tains rarities of great value, and in this chosen field he was regarded as an expert. His col- lection of historic and old china was not only extensive, but of rare merit and wonderful beauty. It had engaged his attention for forty years, and purchases were made in all parts of the country aiming at completeness. In the fall of 1909 he presented this collection to the society of which he was the president, and in- stalled it in cases purposely made, as a memo- rial to his father, the late Visscher Ten Eyck. Mr. Ten Eyck was regarded by his fellow- citizens as a man of absolute integrity and de- termination, and as these qualities were most frequently displayed, either in the form of some public trust or act of charity, the city gained considerable by his living in it. He married, October 18, 1864, Catherine Eliza- beth, daughter of Teunis and Margaret T. (Lush) Van Vechten. She died May 23, 1865, leaving no children.

The will of James Ten Eyck, which was drawn July 3, 1909, contained bequests of nearly $150,000 to public institutions, business associates and employes. The income from the estate, with the exception of the amount of three bequests, was to be given to his sister, Anna Ten Eyck, during her lifetime. The three gifts which were to be made immediately were $2,000 to Hannah Gilligan and Mary Palmer, who for years were servants at the home of Ten Eyck, and his coins, curios, china and past master's Masonic jewels bequeathed to the Albany Historical and Art Society. The society was also given $2,000, the income of which is to be used to purchase proof coins each year from the United States mint. This fund was in memory of his father, Visscher Ten Eyck. Bequests were given to public institutions of the city as follows: Homeo- pathic Hospital, $10,000; Albany Hospital, $10,000 ; Corning Foundation for Christian Work in the Diocese of Albany, $20,000 ; Ma- sonic Hall Association, $10,000; Trustees of the Masonic Hall and Asylum fund, $10,000, and the sum of $12,000 was left to "the inhabi- tants of the city of Albany in communion with the Protestant Episcopal church of the state of New York." At the death of his sister, $1,000 is to be given to each of the employes of Bacon, Stickney & Company, who have at that time been in the employ of the company continuously for thirty years. Mr. Ten Eyck left to the surviving members of the firm, Her- bert W. Stickney, Allen H. Bacon and Samuel W. Brown, $20,000 each. The residue of the estate was bequeathed to Gertrude Ten Eyck Perry, Caroline Ten Eyck and Anna L. Van Vechten.

This name is believed to be of INGALLS Scandinavian origin, and de- rived from Ingialld. During the ninth century the Scandinavians often de- scended on the east coast of England, and in after years many of that nationality made set- tlement there, especially in Lincolnshire. The Domesday Book records a Baron Ingald as tenant of King Williams, A. D., 1080. The meaning of the word Ingialld is: "By the power of Thor." The earliest record found is that of the will of Henry Ingalls (1555), grandfather of Edmund, the emigrant to America. The will of Robert, his father, made 1617, is also of record. The name Ingalls is still common in England, and one well known in the United States, where it is also found ( as it is in England) under the different forms of : Ingall, Engle, Ingolds and Ingles. In Ingles coat-of-arms are these records: "Gules, three bars gemelle or, on a canton argent five bil- lets en salire sable. Crest : A lily springing from a crown. Motto: Humilis ex corona."

(I) Edmund, son of Robert and grandson of Henry Ingalls, was born at Skirbeck, Lin- colnshire, England, about 1598, and came to America in 1628, with Governor Endicott's company, settling at Salem. In 1629, with his brother Francis and four others, he began the settlement of Lynn. He was a man of energy and good character in spite of the court record, which recites that he was fined for bringing home sticks in "both his arms" on the Sabbath day. His name is often found in the public records and show him to have been a man of influence. In March, 1648, while traveling to Boston on horseback, he was drowned in the Saugus river, a defective bridge giving away, plunging both him and his horse into the icy water beneath. His heirs recovered damages from the town. His will was probated September 16, 1648, the appraise- ment being one hundred and thirty-five pounds. The only mention of his wife is in his will, where he makes "my wife Ann In- galls sole executor." Children: 1. Robert, born about 1621; married Sarah Harker. 2.

(VIII) Daniel, second son of Rev. Hosea and Lovina (Lamb) Ingalls, was born at Bel- lows Falls, Vermont, May 9, 1820, died at Castleton, New York, August 31, 1892.

This is believed to have been the first instance in the revolution of a woman rendering such service on the field of battle, and for her humane and patriotic serv- ice she is named on all certificates of member- ship issued by the Daughters of the Revolu- tion to her descendants, as a "Patriot." The old Dake homestead still stands in Daketown, and has been the home of members of the family, both progenitors and descendants of Charles Dake for two hundred years, the present occupant being Stark Dake.

(The Dake Line).

Ancient history records the acts of members of the Dake family. In the second century, Yeruato, son of the emperor of Japan, was a mighty warrior and never met defeat in battle. There are many traces of him still to be found in Japan, showing his greatness and telling mutely of his success. Descendants settled in Europe and intermarried with other na- tionalities. In Austria-Hungary members es- pecially distinguished themselves. Francis Dake, a descendant of the Japanese hero, was

419

mainly instrumental in procuring for Hun- gary a semi-independent form of government, and in 1876, the year of his death, he was given a national funeral. In America the family was planted prior to the year 1630, the first arrival being in 1628. The men were loyal soldiers in the various wars waged by the colonies and states. Charles Dake and his son William were with Washington at York- town. In New York state William Dake was an early settler in Livingston county, in 1817, where a monument has recently been erected to his memory, at Picket Line. Charles, the revolutionary soldier, heretofore mentioned, settled at Daketown prior to the revolution. One. George Deake, is said to have built the first fortification at what is now Portland, Maine. The Dakes have been in Monroe county since its first settlement by white men, while Dr. Luke Dake, of Penfield, was the first physician there, and for a long time the only one within twenty miles. He was the first person to be buried in Oakwood ceme- tery of that place, in 1812. The Dake name is a familiar one in Rochester, New York, in the professions, in business, and in the trades. The late William Dake was supervisor of the fourteenth ward of that city, in 1868-72.

GALE This is an ancient English family possessed of estates and bearing arms. They are early of record in America, in Massachusetts. 1634, and Con- necticut in 1665.

He married, June 6, 1739, Hannah Eliot, born October 15, 1713, died June 27, 1781, descendant of John Eliot, the teacher and apostle to the Indians. Children : i.
