The family name of Gray is said GRAY to be an adaptation of the title of a town in Burgundy, France, on the banks of the Saone river. Rollo, cham- berlain to Robert, Duke of Normandy, re- ceived from him the castle and honor of Croy, in Picardy, whence his family assumed the name of De Croy (afterward changed into De Gray) and migrated into Scotland, descendants of whom later came to this country. The Gray arms: Shield : gules, a lion rampant, argent, holding between two paws an anchor azure, environed with an adder proper. Motto: Secura quae pru- dentes.

Rowland Timpson, of New York City. He was born in New York, in 1823, and died at Ausable Chasm, New York, July 24, 1898. Children: i.

(IV) James Archibald, eldest son of Niel and Janet (Mellis) Gray, was born in New York City, in 1815; died in Albany, New York, December II, 1889. He served a regu- lar apprenticeship with the firm of Firth & Hall, New York City, and became thoroughly familiar with the construction of pianos. In 1835 he came to Albany and for two years was employed as superintendent by William G. Boardman, who through the non-payment of notes on which he was indorser, had taken over the stock of a small piano-making firm of Albany. William G. Boardman was a wholesale grocer of that city and incapable of conducting a business with which he was unfamiliar, and having found that the manu- facture and sale of pianos under Mr. Gray's able management was more lucrative than the grocery business, he persuaded his clever superintendent to form a partnership, and the firm of Boardman & Gray was established in 1837. This partnership was continued un- til 1866, when James Archibald Gray became sole owner of the business by purchase from Mr. Boardman of all his right, title and in- terest therein. In 1877 he admitted his eld- est son, William James Gray, to the firm as partner. He continued his successful career as a manufacturer until his death, December 11, 1889. He was known all over the United States as one of the oldest piano manufac- turers in the country, and the business he founded in 1837 and personally conducted for nearly half a century is still in successful op- eration and controlled by his sons. As one of the oldest business houses of Albany, its various locations may be noted with interest. Originally located at the corner of Broadway and Dewitt streets in 1837, removed to the "old elm tree corner" (northwest corner of State and Pearl), then to the corner of Broadway and North Ferry. In 1866 re- moved. to the brick building, No. 239 North Pearl street, where a disastrous fire drove them finally to their present location at the corner of Broadway and Steuben streets. The
product of Boardman & Gray is well known throughout the musical world and continues in favor.
Mr. Gray was a Unitarian in his religious belief, courteous and dignified in his de- meanor, kind-hearted and generous in his na- ture, and of the strictest integrity and highest principle in his business life. His mechanical skill, inventive genius and executive ability, were all employed in making "Boardman & Gray," a synonym for piano perfection. The employees of his factory and offices attended his funeral in a body, and at a meeting called for the purpose, passed resolutions of appre- ciation and sympathy. "A man ennobled by the highest instincts and practices of true manhood, beloved by those with whom he associated, respected wherever he was known for his integrity, kindness and charity, we who knew him so well, desire to express the poignant sorrow we feel at his death."
He married (first) in Albany, in 1851, Elizabeth McCammon, daughter of Enoch and Lydia (Sturtevant) McCammon ; (sec- ond) December 4, 1856, Matilda Annesley. Children of first marriage : I. Alice Elizabeth, born in Albany, New York, May 2, 1852, died in Syracuse, New York, April 3, 1875; married William Thurston Searles, in Al- bany, October 30, 1873, and had a son Archi- bald James Gray Searles, born March 16, 1875, died July 22, 1875. 2. William James, see forward. Children by second marriage : 3. James Stuart, see forward. 4. Frank Lovet, born in Albany, July 20, 1859, died November 10, 1860.
(V) William James, son of James Archi- bald and Elizabeth (McCammon) Gray, was born at Dobb's Ferry, New York, at the home of his paternal grandmother, June 13, 1853. He was educated at Albany at the "Boy's Academy." When a young man he entered the piano factory of Boardman & Gray, con- tinuing six years. Here he became thorough- ly familiar with practical construction and factory requirements. In 1877 he was admit- ted a partner of Boardman & Gray, continu- ing until the death of his father in 1899. This, while involving a reorganization, in no way interfered with the business, William J. Gray becoming the senior member of the firm, which continues as "Boardman & Gray." His years of practical factory experience, coupled with his long years of official man- agement and office experience, render him eminently capable of assuming this trust. The high standing which Boardman & Gray at- tained in their first half century is being fully maintained and improved under present man- agement. Mr. Gray is a supporter of Re-

The family name of Bo- BOGARDUS gardus is derived from the Dutch, "boomgard," an or- chard ; signifying, therefore, one who kept an orchard or possessed one of particular account, being the same as "boomgaerd," of which "bogaerd" is its concentrated form, "boom," tree, and "gaerd," yard. From this original "Boomgaerd" all the family names, such as Bogaert, Bogardus, Bogaart, Bogart, Bogard and Bogaerd have been formed.
(I) Everart Bogaert was born in Woerden, in the province of Utrecht, south of the Zuy- der Zee, in the year 1607. At the age of twenty, on the twenty-seventh day of July, 1627, he entered the Leyden University for the study of theology. About the time of his graduation, he Latinized his name, as seemed to be the custom among the young Dutch theologians of that period, and from 1631 un- til the present day he is known in history and appears in all records as Everardus Bo- gardus. He was ordained a regular minister of the Dutch Reformed church, January II, 1632, just five years after he had entered Leyden University. In the minutes of the synod of North Holland, at Alckmar, August 17, 1632, his name appears on the list of ministerial charges of the Classis of Amster- dam, as being sent to New Netherland, and further research reveals the fact that he was commissioned by the "Lords Directors of the Honorable West India Company of the United Provinces of the Netherlands," to minister to
