The coat-of-arms of this THACHER noted New England colonial family is described thus : gules, a cross moline argent, on a chief d'or three grasshoppers argent; crest, a grasshop- per proper. Antiquarians incline to class the Thacher surname with other patronymics of remote English origin, and while hardly more than indefinite attempts have been made to trace its origin, the results achieved in that direction have not been entirely satisfactory ; hence we are able to record only two genera- tions of the English family, anterior to that of the immigrant ancestor who came over to New England in the year 1635.


(I) Rev. Peter Thacher, earliest ancestor of the particular family here considered, of whom there appears definite knowledge, was instituted vicar of the parish of Queen Camel, England, in 1554, and continued in that office until the time of his death, 1624. There is ample reason for the belief that this Peter Thacher was father of Rev. Peter Thacher, first of Milton Clevedon and afterward of Salisbury, England.


(II) Rev. Peter (2) Thacher, who is be- lieved to have been a son of Rev. Peter (I) Thacher, of the parish of Queen Camel, was born in Somersetshire, England, entered Queen's College, Oxford, May 6, 1603, took the degree of A. B. at Corpus Christi, 1608, and the degree of A. M. in 1611. He was in-

stalled vicar of Milton Clevedon, Somerset- shire, 1616, became rector of St. Edmund's Church, Salisbury, Wiltshire, 1622, and sus- tained that office until his death, February 19, 1640. He was interred under the altar tomb which still stands on the north side of the churchyard of St. Edmund's, and which bears this inscription: "Here lyeth the bodye of Mr. Peter Thacher. who was a laborious min- ister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ in the Parish of St. Edmunds for ye space of XIX yeares. He departed this lyfe the Lord's Day, at three of the clock, ye XI of February 1640. Let no man move his bones." The baptismal name of Peter Thacher's wife was Anne; chil- dren : Thomas, born May I, 1620; see for- ward; Martha, November, 1623; Elizabeth, January, 1625; John, January, 1627; Samuel, 1638; Barnabas, August, 1640. There is no record to indicate that any of these children other than Thomas ever came to this country. (III) Rev. Thomas Thacher, eldest son of Rev. Peter (2) and Anne Thacher, was born at Milton Clevedon, Somersetshire, England, May 1, 1620, died in Boston, in the colony of Massachusetts bay, October 15, 1687. He early became a convert to the Puritan princi- ples advocated by his father in the ministry, and on account of which the latter himself had determined to come to America, but was com- pelled to change his plans and remain in the mother country, much against his desire. Thomas embarked in the ship "James," in company with the family of his uncle, An- thony Thacher, and arrived in New England, June 4, 1635, at Ipswich. Soon afterward Anthony Thacher had occasion to pass from Ipswich to Marblehead and embarked in a small vessel for the short voyage; but young Thomas Thacher, says . Dr. Cotton Mather's "Magnalia," "had such a strong impression upon his mind about the issue of the voyage that he, with another, would needs go by the land, and so escaped perishing with some of his pious and precious friends by sea." His- tory records the events of this momentous voyage and how the vessel encountered a se- vere storm in the night of August 14, 1635, and was cast upon the rocky shores of an is- land off the eastern extremity of Cape Ann; and how, of the twenty-three passengers on board, only two, Anthony Thacher and his wife, survived the disaster, and even they lost all the goods carried on board the ship. In allusion to this event, Thacher's Island re- ceived its name, and is so called to this day.


Thomas Thacher studied theology under the instruction of Rev. Charles Chauncey, of Sci- tuate, Massachusetts, who afterward became second president of Harvard College. His


first pastorate was at Weymouth, Massachu- setts, where he was ordained and installed January 2, 1645, and he continued there until 1664, when he removed to Boston. In Wev- mouth he was the first practitioner of medi- cine, and in Boston he practiced medicine from 1664 until February 16, 1670, when he was ordained first pastor of the historic old South Church. "In his ministerial labors, he was most faithful and affectionate; among his ex- cellencies was a peculiar spirit of prayer, and he was remarkable for the copious, fluent and fervid manner of performing the sacred exer- cise." President Stiles speaks of him as "the best Arabic scholar known in the country," and always says that he published a Hebrew lexicon. As a physician he wrote a medical treatise called "A brief Guide to the Common People in the Small Pox and Measles," which is said to have been the first work of its kind printed in Massachusetts. Mr. Thacher mar- ried (first), May II, 1643, Eliza, daughter of Rev. Ralph Partridge, of Duxbury, Massachu- setts. She died at Weymouth, June 2, 1664, and he married (second) in 1665, Margaret, widow of Jacob Sheaf and daughter of Henry Webb. Children by first wife: I. Thomas, died April 2, 1686; was a merchant in Boston ; married Mary, daughter of Thomas Savage. 2. Ralph (or Rodulphus), entered the minis- try and preached many years at Childmark, Martha's Vineyard ; married, January 1, 1670, Ruth, daughter of George Partridge, of Dux- bury. 3. Peter; see forward. 4. Patience, married William Kemp, of Duxbury. 5. Eliza, married Captain Nathaniel Davenport, who was killed in the Narragansett fight with King Philip's Indian warriors, December 19, 1675; she married (second), in 1677, Samuel Davis.


(IV) Rev. Peter (3) Thacher, son of Rev. Thomas and Eliza (Partridge) Thacher, was born in Salem, Massachusetts, July 18, 1651, died in Milton December 17, 1727. He was graduated from Harvard College in 1671, went to London in 1676, to complete his the- ological studies, and remained there one year. From the seal which his father used in sealing letters sent to his son during his absence in England was taken the coat-of-arms which is now held by his descendants ; and his will, also sealed with the family arms, now in the Suf- folk registry, Boston, was dated February 12, 1721. In 1681 Peter Thacher was ordained pastor over the church in Milton. He had been living in Barnstable, Massachusetts, and on the day of departure for his new home he was escorted by a cavalcade of fifty-seven horsemen as far as Sandwich. The remain- ing years of his life were spent in Milton,

where he labored faithfully and zealously among his devoted people. The diary which he kept during his life throws a strong light on the habits, duties and people of the parish which he served.


Mr. Thacher married (first) November 21, 1677, Theodora, daughter of Rev. John Ox- enbridge, of Boston. She received from her parents a large estate in lands, which her hus- band managed. She died in November, 1697, and he married (second) Susannah, widow of Rev. John Bailey. His third wife was Eliza- beth, widow of Rev. Jonathan Gee. On the death of Mr. Thacher the larger part of his estate fell to his eldest son, Oxenbridge. One item in his will mentioned "eight brick houses in London, with room for a ninth." His will mentions two negro boys, Sambo and Jemmy, valued at £120, and three negro girls, valued at £55; he gave to his son Peter his negro body servant, "because I think he will be kind to him." His watch, which has been trans- mitted to lineal descendants, is now in the rooms of the Bostonian Society, at the Old State House. Children of first marriage: I. Theodore. 2. Bathsheba. 3. Oxenbridge, born May 17, 1681, died October 22, 1772. 4. Eliza, March 7, 1682, died February 10, 1715; married Rev. Samuel Niles. 5. Mary. 6. Peter, October 16, 1688; see forward. 7. John, died young. 8. Thomas, born 1693, died 1721. 9. John.


(V) Rev. Peter (4) Thacher, son of Rev. Peter (3) and Theodora (Oxenbridge) Tha- cher, was born in Milton, Massachusetts, Oc- tober 16, 1688, died April 22, 1744, "having sustained a ministerial character of great re- spectability, and received a large number of members into his church during the later years of his ministry." He graduated from Harvard College in 1706, and was ordained at Middleboro, November 2, 1709. Mr. Thacher married Mary, daughter of Samuel Prince, of Sandwich, and had ten children: I. Mary, born November 22, 17II. 2. Mercy, April 9, 1713, died December, 1745. 3. Peter, January 14, 1715, died 1785. 4. Samuel, June 10, 1717; see forward. 5. Susanna, January 22, 1719, died December, 1747. 6. Thomas, May 13, 1721, died December 10, 1744. 7. John, April 12, 1723, died January 2, 1748. 8. Ox- enbridge, July 12, 1725, died June, 1776. 9. Moses, October 22, 1727, died November 1747. IO. Theodora, October 12, 1729, died July 27, 1732.


(VI) Samuel, son of the Rev. Peter (4) and Mary (Prince) Thacher, was born in Middleboro, Massachusetts, June 10, 1717. There was a Captain Samuel Thacher, of Middleboro, who commanded a company of


men from that town in 1759. during the French and Indian war. Samuel Thacher mar- ried, 1758, Mrs. Sarah Kent (one account says he married Deborah Bennet ). The names of all of their children do not appear, but among them was a son Nathaniel.


(VII) Nathaniel, son of Samuel and Sarah (Kent) Thacher, was born probably in Mid- dleboro, Massachusetts, 1767, and spent the earlier years of his life in Rhode Island. Soon after 1800 he removed to the southern part of the Phelps and Gorham purchase in New York state, and was one of the pioneers in the town of Troupsburg and its vicinity. He was a shoemaker by trade, but a farmer by principal occupation. One account says that he settled in Troupsburg about 1807, lived there a few years, and about 1810 removed with his family to Hornellsville, and settled in that part of the town where Terry's mills stood. In 1812 he removed to the Henry Hart farm, as afterwards known, lived there about ten years and then took up his resi- dence in the village of Hornellsville. Later on he "conceived the idea" of going west, which he did, and still later went south, and died in Florence, Alabama, August 24, 1824. In 1787 Mr. Thacher married Lydia Place, of Gloucester, Rhode Island, who survived him. They had four sons and two daughters. One of their sons was the late Judge Otis Thacher, one of the founders of the Presby- terian church in Hornellsville, a leader in Ma- sonic affairs in the locality for many years and until the "Morgan excitement," when he withdrew from the order, and associate judge of the county court by appointment in 1840. He also was one of the founders and trustees of Alfred University, and held military com- missions under Governors DeWitt, Clinton and William L. Marcy. Another son was Deacon Mowrey Thacher, whose diary of ear- ly events of Steuben county history ever has been regarded as reliable authority in the re- gion of which it treats.


(VIII) Samuel Olney, son of Nathaniel and Lydia (Place) Thacher, was born in Smithfield, Rhode Island, 1789, and removed with his parents to Troupsburg soon after 1800. He married, 1814, Martha, daughter of Judge George Hornell, in allusion to whom the town of Hornellsville (now the city of Hornell) was named. A century and more ago Judge Hornell was the most conspicuous character in the history of the region named for him, and was a son of Rev. Nicholas Hornell, a native of Sweden, who during a religious rebellion there sought refuge in America. He settled near York, Pennsyl- vania. Judge Hornell's wife was Martha,


592

daughter of Uriah Stephens, a settler in the vicinity of Hornellsville soon after 1790.


(IX) George Hornell, son of Samuel Olney and Martha (Hornell) Thacher, was born in Hornellsville, June 4, 1818, died at St. Augus- tine, Florida, February 15, 1887, and is buried in Albany Rural cemetery. He received a thorough academic education, afterward en- tered Union College, and graduated with the class of 1843. He settled permanently in Albany in 1849, and thereafter was closely identified with the business and political his- tory of the city until about the time of his death. He engaged extensively in manufac- turing pursuits, and for many years was head of the carwheel works which afterward was continued by his sons. A strong Democrat throughout the period of his active life, he first became a factor in Albany politics in 1859, when he was elected member of the board of aldermen. He was elected mayor of the city four times, and served in that office from May 1, 1860, to May 5, 1862; from May 1, 1866, to May 5, 1868; from May 6, 1870, to May 6, 1872; and from May 7, 1872, to January 28, 1874, when he re- signed. Mr. Thacher married, in Schenec- tady, June 15, 1843, Ursula Jane Boyd, who died April 13, 1874. They had two sons, John Boyd and George Hornell Thacher.


(X) John Boyd, elder son of George Hor- nell and Ursula Jane (Boyd) Thacher, was born at Ballston Spa, Saratoga county, New York, September 1I, 1847, died in Albany, February 25, 1909. His earlier literary edu- cation was acquired under the instruction of private tutors, and in 1865 he entered Wil- liams College, graduating A. B. cum laude, 1869. Subsequently he received from alma mater the degree of A. M. After leaving college he took a course in bookkeeping at Folsom's Business College, and he also gained a practical knowledge of his father's business by entering the moulding department of the foundry and there learning the trade of a moulder. Subsequently he became actively interested in business with his father, and upon the death of his parent, he and his younger brother succeeded to the proprietorship of what has long been known as the Thacher Car Wheel Works, one of the leading indus- tries of Albany. But it is as a public man and author that Mr. Thacher was perhaps best known. His active interest in political affairs dated from the year 1883, when he was elected senator from Albany county, and dur- ing his incumbency of that office he was an active and efficient supporter of all measures proposed for the benefit of working men and women. From that time on, he was closely


identified with the political history of his coun- try, was a public speaker of wide repute and one of the most ardent advocates of demo- cratic principles in the entire state. He con- ducted the Albany bicentennial with much success and credit to himself. Twice he was elected mayor of the city of Albany, and served in that capacity from May 4, 1886, to April 20, 1888, and again from January I, 1896, until December 31, 1897. He was ap- pointed a member of the World's Columbian Exposition, 1890, by President Harrison, and was made the chairman of the executive com- mitte of the bureau of awards. Among his more prominent contributions to current lit- erature there may be mentioned here his "Christopher Columbus, His Life, His Works, His Remains," "The Continent of America its Discovery and its Baptism," "Charlecote," "Cabotian Discovery" and "Little Speeches." On September 11, 1872, John Boyd Thacher married Emma, daughter of George Tread- well, of Albany.


(X) George Hornell, younger son of George Hornell and Ursula Jane (Boyd) Thacher, was born in the city of Albany, No- vember 20, 1851, and was educated in Pro- fessor Whitbeck's private school, Williams College, where he entered for the class of 1872, and Bryant and Stratton's Commercial College, in the latter taking a short business course. Later he entered his father's car- wheel works as clerk and apprentice, and still later became foreman of the establishment, continuing in that capacity for several years. In 1880 he went to the mining regions of Col- orado, remained there until the latter part of 1883, then returned to Albany, and in October became business partner with his father under the firm style of George H. Thacher & Com- pany, and as successors of the former firm of Thacher, Lathrop & Company; and after the death of his father, 1887, Mr. Thacher, in company with his brother, John Boyd Tha- cher, continued the business as before, and still retained the old firm name of George H. Thacher & Company, as since known in all business circles, although upon the death of his brother, in 1909, Mr. Thacher became sole proprietor.


In 1887 Mr. Thacher succeeded his father as member of the board of directors of the Old Albany City National Bank, became him- self its vice-president in 1889, and was its third and last president. He is now vice-pres- ident of the Albany City Savings Institution, a director of the Union Trust Company and of the National Commercial Bank of Albany, a member of the Fort Orange, Canoe, Camera and Country clubs, and a thirty-second degree

Mason. He was appointed a member of the city board of water commissioners in May, 1892, and resigned that office December I, 1894. Mr. Thacher is an active, capable busi- ness man, and his interest in promoting the industrial and institutional welfare of the city has been shown in many ways. He married, January 1, 1880, Emma Louise Bennet, of Albany. Children: 1. George H. (2), born April 14, 1881. 2. John Boyd (2), October 26, 1882. 3. Thomas Oxenbridge, March 22, 1884; married, June 2, 1909, Helen Lavie of Brooklyn, N. Y. 4. Emma Louise, October : 23, 1885, died February 27, 1893. 5. Roland Throckmorton, June 7, 1887, died November 26, 1892. 6. Kenelm Roland, February I, 1892. 7. Edwin Thirockmorton, April 29, 1896. George H., John Boyd (2) and Thom- as O. are engaged in business with their fa- ther.


ROSA During the earlier generations of the family in America, this fam- ily retained the original spelling Roosa. The latter day family, or at least some of them, spell it Rosa, which is the orthography used by the family in Schenec- tady herein recorded. It is one of the old Dutch families of the Hudson-Mohawk that settled first in Esopus, then in Albany and Schenectady. The sons of the emigrant all founded families, and many of them still may be found in the same localities settled by their earliest ancestors. Gelderland in Hol- land was the home of the emigrant ancestor. (I) Albert Heymanse ( Albert, son of Hey- man) Roosa was a farmer, of Gelderland, Holland, where he married Wyntje Allard, and had eight children, born in the "fader- land." He came with his entire family to America in the ship "Spotted Cow," arriving at New Amsterdam, April 15, 1660. He made permanent settlement at Esopus, New York, shortly afterward. He was a person of more than usual importance, for on May 16, 1661, he was appointed by Governor Stuyvesant one of the three "schepens" or magistrates, his associates being Evert Pels and Cornelis Barentse Slecht. He brought with him from Holland considerable property and soon "occupied an influential position in the new settlement." In 1661, he was ap- pointed one of the three commissioners to enclose the new village at Esopus called Hurley. At the destruction of the village of Hurley, June 7, 1663, by the Indians, two of his children, with forty-three other women and children, were taken captive. The story of the rescue of these captives by the colonial forces under command of Captain Martin


Kreiger is one of the most interesting epi- sodes in the early history of New York. The records cite many instances of his partici- pation in the early making of Kingston that show him to have been a leader. He rebelled against the tyrannies of Governor Nicholls, and in 1667, a commission appointed by the governor sat at Esopus, investigating the "Mutiny at Esopus." Albert Heymanse Roo- sa, Cornelis Barentsen Schlect and two others "were found guilty of rebellious and mutinous riot and were taken to New York for sentence. Nicholls by advice of his coun- cil on May 3, sentenced Roosa to be banished for life out of the government, and the others for shorter terms out of Esopus, Albany and New York. All these sentences were subse- quently modified and the offenders returned to Esopus." Governor Lovelace restored him to favor, and in 1669 appointed him overseer of the town of Hurley, called New Dirp, or New Village. "In 1673, he was confirmed as one of the officers at Esopus by Governor Antliony Calve,, and described as Captain Albert Heymans Roosa, who had been prominent in the riot of 1667." He served in the military forces of the colony as mustering officer, and in other capacities ; was sergeant of Captain Henry Pawling's company, and in 1673 was captain of a com- pany recruited from Hurley and Marble- town. He died at Hurley, February 27, 1679. In 1685 his widow, Wyntje Allard, secured a grant of three hundred and twenty acres at Hurley.

He was a prom- inent landowner of Schenectady county, their lands lying near the present city and within the limits. The beautiful street and drive, Rosa road. is almost entirely within the limits of the old estate, and descendants yet own a great deal of land of the original farm. The house James Rosa built on his large and un- usually well improved estate is now the home of the present owners, direct descendants, and is a part of an undivided Rosa estate. He was the superintendent for many years of the first railroad that was built between Albany and Schenectady in 1831. He was interested
