DEWEY Thomas Dewey, the emigrant ancestor of a large and influen- tial family, seems to have be- come a dissenter and emigrated to America from Sandwich, Kent, England, with the early settlers under Governor Winthrop and Rev. John Warham. The records of Massachusetts Bay Colony mention him as early as August, 1633, when he was an inhabitant of Dorches- ter, and where he was enrolled a freeman, May 14, 1634. In 1635 he removed to Wind- sor, Connecticut, where he appears in a list of the settlers in 1640. He held considerable land, served as a juror of the particular court, and seems to have lived an honorable upright life. He married, March 22, 1639, at Wind- sor, Frances, widow of Joseph Clark. She

Living close together they were almost inseparable, going to church, to the village tavern, and taking their mug of flip together, farming together and raising and harvesting their crops at the same time, and living so good and just lives as to win the esteem and re- spect of their fellow townsmen.

For thirteen generations BEVERIDGE the family of Beveridge have been an honored fam- ily of Fifeshire, Scotland. They were an agricultural family and possessed all those sterling attributes of character that distin- guished the Scotch farmer. Many of the sons received college educations and entered the professions, military life claimed others, while the profits of commercial life lured others away from the soil. At Kennison Farms, Fifeshire, lived James Beveridge, an educated farmer. He died there aged seventy- eight. He married Miller, who lived and died in the same locality, full of years. They were the parents of four sons and two daughters. Three of the sons-James, John and Robert-lived and died in Fife ; the fourth son was David I., of whom further. One of

He received a good education in his native land, and was reared a farmer. He decided to seek a home in the United States, and in 1822 took passage in a sailing vessel. He was the only one of the family to emi- grate to this country. It took the vessel nine weeks to make the passage to New York City, his destination. He did not long remain in that city, but proceeded up the river, settling in the town of Florida, Montgomery county ; later he decided to locate in Schenectady, near- er a kinsman. He purchased one hundred and thirty-six acres of land in the town of Duanesburg, on which he resided for twenty years. After the death of his first wife he purchased a farm of one hundred and twen- ty-six acres not far from Minaville, Mont- gomery county, on which he lived until his death.

James, died at age of sixteen. 2. John, (see forward). 3. Annie M., died at the age of three. He married (second) Eleanor Gard- ner, who survived him and died at an extreme old age. She bore him a daughter, Sarah, who died at three years of age.

(III) John, second child of David I. and Margaret (Kachie) Beveridge, was born in Duanesburg, Schenectady county, New York, May 5. 1840. In 1854 the family removed to Florida, where he now resides on the farm purchased hy his father near Minaville. He is an active, energetic farmer of education and alive to up-to-date methods in agriculture. He inherits the virtues of his ancestors and is a worthy descendant. He is a member of

the United Presbyterian church, and a Repub- lican in politics. He married, in 1866, Jeanet- ta Serviss, born in Florida town, January 20, 1844. She was of the well known Serviss family of the Mohawk Valley, daughter of Chalett and Christina (MacMichael) Serviss, married July 3, 1833.

The branch of the Edwards EDWARDS family to which the Albany family belong was founded in America by Alexander Edwards, a native of Wales, who settled in Springfield, Massa- chusetts, in 1640. He removed to Northamp- ton about 1655 and died there September 4, 1690. His wife, whom he married April 28, 1642, in Springfield, was Mrs. Sarah Baldwin

Searle, widow of John Searle. They had chil- dren : Samuel, see forward, Hannalı, Joseph, Mary, Benjamin, Sarah, Nathaniel and Eliza- beth. All the sons married and reared fami- lies ; the descendants are very numerous in the east, west and south.

(II) Samuel, son of Alexander and Sarah (Searle) Edwards, was born in Springfield, Massachusetts, March 7, 1643, died at North- ampton, Massachusetts. He married, May 15, 1675, Sarah, daughter of Jarvis Corlin, and had Samuel, Sarah, Abigail, Hannah, Nathan- iel, see forward, and Ruth.

(IV) Captain Nathaniel (2), son of Na- thaniel (1) and Margit Edwards, was prob- ably born in Waterbury, Connecticut, 1738. died in South Corinth, Saratoga county, New York, March 2, 1825. He was a brave soldier, beginning his military career when a young man in 1757, when he joined the company of Captain Eldad Lewis, and marched to the re- lief of General Johnson at Fort William Henry, during the Indian war of that period. He was in constant service during the revolu- tion until his capture by the British at Fort Washington, November 16, 1766. In 1774 he was ensign in the Tenth Connecticut Regi- ment. In 1775 he was ensign in the First Regiment, and second lieutenant in Fifth Com- pany, First Connecticut Regiment, from May I, to December 20, 1755. On June 20, 1776, he was promoted first lieutenant in Bradley's Connecticut state regiment, and served until his capture, November 16, 1776. How long he was held prisoner, nor whether he saw other service in the next four years, is not related. In 1781 he was captain of a company in the Connecticut Provisional Regiment, or- dered by the general assembly to be raised and put in readiness "to march on the shortest no- tice in case his excellency General Washing- ton shall call for men." They were sent to the front later, and there is no doubt Captain Ed- wards led his company (see Connecticut Men in the Revolution). After the war he re- moved to New York state. Captain Edwards married, March 11, 1762, Abiah, daughter of David Strickland; children : Lois, died in childhood ; Isaac, see forward; Sarah, David, Lucy, Millea, Lois, John, see forward.

(V) Isaac, eldest son of Captain Nathaniel (2) and Abiah (Strickland) Edwards. was born in Waterbury, Connecticut, died at South Corinth, Saratoga county, New York, Febru-

ary 18, 1848. When sixteen years of age he enlisted in the continental army and served until the close of the war. About 1796 Isaac and his father, Captain Nathaniel Edwards, and family, came to Saratoga county, New York, and settled about one mile sontlı of South Corinth village; Nathaniel built a small frame house, the first in the town, and Isaac built a log house. They cleared a farm from the forest, in the spring of 1797 planted their first crop, and also started an orchard from seeds brought from their old Connecticut home. Isaac Edwards married Esther Foote, who died July 23, 1824. They had six sons and a daughter; Hon. Edward Edwards, a member of the state legislature in 1845, and again in 1864-65, was the youngest son and last survivor.

(V) John, son of Captain Nathaniel (2) and Abiah (Strickland) Edwards, was born in Watertown, Connecticut. He came with his father and family to Corinth, Saratoga county, New York. about 1796, where he grew to manhood, and became one of the thrifty farm- ers of that county. He married Sarah Cooper, born July 8, 1792, who bore him four sons who grew to maturity, and a daughter. His ambition for his sons was for them to become farmers and succeed him in the ownership of his family acres. The second son, Isaac, how- ever, became celebrated in the law and the edi- tor of several standard legal works.

(VI) Isaac Edwards, LL.D., second son of John and Sarah (Cooper) Edwards, born in South Corinth, Saratoga county, New York, August 30, 1819, died March 26, 1879, in Al- bany. His early years were spent on the farm, and his education commenced in the public schools of his native town was continued at Waterford Academy, under the late Professor Taylor Lewis, of whom he always spoke in the highest terms. His law studies were pursued in Albany in the office of Edwards & Meads. After being admitted to the Albany bar, he formed a partnership with his uncle, James Edwards, which was of short duration. and he never afterward had a partner. After the dissolution he entered upon an independent practice and began his successful legal and literary career. He built up a successful busi- ness, having for his clients the best class of merchants, whose confidence and patronage he always retained. His duties and labors were of such a nature that he had time for the hearing of referred cases, and it is undoubt- edly true that he heard and decided more cases than any lawyer in the county. His mind was eminently judicial, adapted to the hearing of long intricate cases, well-balanced, and in the weighing of evidence he was without a su-
