(The Winslow Line).
The English ancestry of Governor Edward Winslow, from whom the Crannell family of Albany descend through maternal lines, is traced in this review to about the middle of the fourteenth century.
(I) William Winslow, or Wyncelow, the first of the lineage as traced in England, had two sons : John, of London, afterward of Wyncelow Hall, married Mary Crouchman, who died in 1409; William (2), see forward.
(II) William (2), son of William (1) Winslow, married and had issue.
(III) Thomas, son of William (2) Wins- low, was of Burton county, Oxford, having lands also in Essex, where he was living in 1452. He married Cecelia Tansley, one of two daughters and an heiress. She was called "Lady Agnes."
(IV) William (3), son of Thomas and Ce- celia (Tansley) Winslow, was living in 1529. Children: Kenelm, see forward, and Rich- ard, who had a grant from Edward VI. of the rectory of Elksley, county of Nottingham.
(V) Kenelm, son of William (3) Wins- low, purchased in 1559 of Sir Richard New- port an estate called "Newport's Place," in Kempsey, Worcestershire. He had another and an older extensive estate in the same parish, called "Clerkenleap." He died in 1607 in the parish of St. Andrew. He married Catherine His will, dated April 14, 1607, is still preserved in Worcester. Child, Edward, see forward.
(VI) Edward, only son of Kenelm and Catherine Winslow, was born in the parish of St. Andrew, county Worcester, England, Oc- tober 17, 1560, died before 1651. He lived in Kempsey and Droitwich, county Worces- ter.

ton. 4. Kenelm, born in Droitwich, 1599, came to America about 1629. He was an im- portant man in the Plymouth Colony, filled various town offices, and was deputy to the general court eight years. He married Eleanor Adams, widow of John Adams of Plymouth, and is the immigrant ancestor of a long line of descendants. 5. Gilbert, born October 26, 1600, in Droitwich, England, came to America in the "Mayflower" with his brother, Governor Edward Winslow, signed the "Compact," returned to England after 1623, where he died. 6. Eleanor, re- mained in England. 7. Josiah, born in Eng- land, was sent to America in 1631 as ac- countant to William Shirley; lived at Marsh- field, Massachusetts; married, 1636, Mar- garet Bourne, died December 1, 1674. 8. Elizabeth, remained in England. 9. Magda- len, remained in England.
(VII) Governor Edward (2), eldest son of Edward (1) and his second wife Magda- lene (Oliver) Winslow, was born October 18, 1595, at Droitwich, England, died and was buried at sea, May 8, 1655, with the honors of war, forty-two guns being fired by the fleet that he was accompanying from Hispaniola to Jamaica, West Indies. After Governor Bradford and Edward Brewster, Plymouth Colony owed no man so much as Edward Winslow. Always intelligent, gener- ous, confident and of untiring energy, he was trusted for any service, at home or abroad, which the necessities of the infant colony happened to require. Were the North East- ern fisherman to be sought for a supply of food in a famine, or the Indian chief needed watching, or the governor's place to be taken temporarily, or Massachusetts dissuaded from an act of too-severe austerity, or finally were the rulers in England to be made propitious, the natural resort was to the agency of Ed- ward Winslow. For foreign employment his gentle birth and breeding gave him an ad- vantage, and among the gentlemen of the Bri- tish parliament he moved as one of them- selves. He was highly esteemed by Gover- nors Winthrop and Bradford, while the great Protector Cromwell saw at once the worth of the honest, religious, capable, strenuous en- voy from North America, and took care never to lose his services while he lived, which was for nine years after he finally left Plymouth. At the time of his death he was superintend- ing the attempt upon Santo Domingo under Cromwell's appointment, and distress at the failure, through military mismanagement, is believed to have brought on his last illness. He met at Leyden, Holland, his first wife, Elizabeth Barker, of English birth and edu-
cation. They were married in Leyden, and together came in the "Mayflower" to Amer- ica. He was the third signer of the immortal "Compact," and probably was one of the authors. His wife died during the first win- ter. William White, one of the chief men of the colony, died, leaving a widow, Su- sanna (Fuller) White, with two little boys to care for, one of them Peregrine White, who was born while the "Mayflower" was lying at Cape Cod, the first English child born in New England. Edward Winslow married the widow, and theirs was the first wedding ceremony performed in the new colony. They were married before the magistrate, Gover- nor Bradford, and with public solemnities en- tered into the covenant of marriage. At the annual election in 1624 he was chosen assist- ant to the governor, holding by successive appointments until 1647, excepting 1633, 1636 and 1644, when he was chosen governor. In these and many other public trusts he ac- quitted himself with distinguished ability and credit. He was also the author of several valuable works relating to the interests of the colony. He made several trips to England in the colony's interest and in 1635 was ar- rested and tried on the charge "that not being in holy orders, he had taught publicly in the church and had officiated at marriages," to which he could only plead that he had spoken in the churches and in the capacity of magis- trate performed the marriage ceremony. For this honest avowal he was pronounced guilty of the crime charged by the archbishop, com- mitted to the Fleet prison, where he was kept in confinement seventeen weeks. He was chosen governor for the last time in 1644, and subsequently was first on the list of magis- trates. He was soon after engaged in the English public service abroad, and never re- turned to New England. By his second wife, Susanna (Fuller) White, to whom he was married May 12, 1621, he had a daughter Elizabeth, who married Gilbert Brooks, of Scituate. His only son was Josialı, see forward.
(VIII) Josiah, son of Governor Edward (2) and his second wife, Susanna ( Fuller- White) Winslow, was born in Plymouth, 1629, died in Marshfield, Massachusetts, De- cember 18, 1680. In 1657, two years after the death of his father, he was chosen assist- ant governor, which post he filled until his election as governor in 1673. This last office he held until his death. He was active and prominent in colony affairs all his mature life. In 1652 he commanded the military company of Marshfield; in 1659 he was appointed mili- tary commander of the colony, and in 1675
1416
HUDSON AND MOHAWK VALLEYS
was elected general-in-chief of the whole mili- tary force of the United Colonies, being the first native-born general, as well as governor in New England. In 1658 he was chosen one of the commissioners of the United Colonies and re-elected for fourteen years. On Sep- tember 5, 1672, he was one of the six signers of the new articles of confederation of the New England colonies, and on September 9. 1675, he signed the declaration of war against King Philip, made by the commissioners. While he was governor in 1674-75. the first public school in the colony was established, and in 1680 the first lieutenant-governor was elected. The general court ordered in 1675 that four halberdiers should attend the gover- nor and magistrates at elections, and two dur- ing the court sessions. Under him the gov- ernment maintained a state hitherto unknown in the colony. He resided at "Careswell," the family seat at Marshfield, and enjoyed the distinction of being the most accomplished gentleman in the colony. When first a com- missioner in 1658, he refused to sanction the "horrible recommendation" of that year against the Quakers. His capture of Alexan- der in 1662, the brother of Philip, and for two years sachem after Massasoit's death, illustrates his courage and personal daring as a soldier. His last public act on September 5, 1680, was to solicit a charter for Plymouth from the crown. He married, in 1658, Pene- lope, daughter of Herbert Pelham, of Eng- land, who came to Boston in 1645. He was the first treasurer of Harvard college, and assistant governor in 1646-1649. There were four children born of this marriage, two sons and two daughters; only one of his sons, Isaac, survived childhood. He married Sarah, daughter of John and Elizabeth Paddy Wens- ley, of Boston. One of the daughters, Molly, married Robert Crannell, and they were the progenitors of the Alhany family of that name (see Crannell I). Another daughter, Eliza- beth, married Stephen Burton. There is no one hearing the name of Winslow who can claim lineal descent from Governor Edward Winslow, third signer of the "Compact" and third governor of New Plymouth, the first by elective voice of the people. "Careswell." the country seat of Governor Josiah Winslow. subsequently became the residence of Daniel Webster. Governor Josiah's portrait and that of his wife hang in Plymouth Hall, Plymouth, Massachusetts. She is said to have been a most beautiful and accomplished lady. The coat-of-arms of the Winslow family is a tree with its branches cut down into a knight's hel- met. Motto: "Floreo decarpius," ("Though plucked, I flourish.")
The Sherman family is of SHERMAN German origin. The name was spelled Sherrman, Schurman, Schearmaun and Scherman. As early as 1635 the family was located in Eng- land, in Dedham, county Essex. The name is derived from the original occupation of the family, when they were cloth dressers, or "shearers" of the cloth, and the family at Dedham continued the family occupation. In New England there are two distinct families of this name. One is descended from William Sherman and the other from Henry Sherman. The arms of the Yaxley family are: Or a lion rampant sable charged on the shoulder with an amulet for difference between three oak leaves vert. Crest: A sea lion sejeant argent guttee de poix fumed or.

Chloe, August 4, 1765. Child of second wife : Ware Darwin, mentioned below.
(X) Ware Darwin, son of John (4) Sher- man, was born at Conway, Massachusetts, Oc- tober 3, 1771, died about 1842. When a young man he removed to Arlington, Vermont, prob- ably as early as 1790, and he married there Anna D. Canfield, of Arlington, daughter of Ezekiel and Mary (Sackett) Canfield. They settled at Kingsbury, New York, about 1806, and subsequently removed to Luzerne. He was a farmer and lumberman. Children : John Sackett, born 1790; Lydia, 1792; Rich- ard. 1795; Augustus, mentioned below ; Abi- gail, 1807; Anson, 1808: Avery, 1810; Anna, 1813.
(XI) Augustus, son of Ware Darwin Sher- man, was born in Arlington, Vermont, Feb- ruary II. 1801, died December 3. 1884. When he was five years old his parents went to Kingsbury, and shortly afterward to Fairfield, now Luzerne, New York. About 1823 the family migrated to Pennsylvania, going in a covered wagon, and covering a distance of forty miles in a day between Schenectady and Buffalo, New York, they claiming to have the fastest team in the State. Augustus Sher- man attended the winter terms of the common school, but the schools were crude and the terms short. Early in life he became familiar with the hard work of the farmer and lum- berman. Before the Glens Falls feeder was constructed he used to draw lumber across from Corinth or Big Falls, raft it on cribs to the bend and thence take it across Deadman's Point above Fort Edward, and after the big dam at that place was built he had to carry the timber still farther down the river to Rogers's landing opposite Schuyler's Island, whence it was rafted to market. With the opening of the Glens Falls feeder he was among the first to place a boat on its waters for the transportation of lumber. When he was but fifteen years old he had to drive a humber wagon alone to Albany and attend to sales and purchases, a task he performed with all the good judgment and faithfulness of a man of experience. In the following year, in consequence of his father's financial troubles, he was obliged to take entire charge of the business, and he worked early and late with untiring perseverance and energy in order to help his father out of debt. His venture in the lumber business on his own account was in operating an old English saw mill with two saws, located on a small stream which empties into the Hudson river, and at the same time he operated a grist mill in the vicin- ity. In addition to this laborious task, he drew and rafted his lumber to the market.
Here he laid the foundation of the large fortune that he subsequently accumulated. After three years he took the Buttolph mill farther down the river. Having disposed of his property in Luzerne, in the winter of 1840-41, he made his home near the feeder- dam and resumed the manufacture of lumber on a large scale with greatly increased facili- ties. Two years later he went to Glens Falls. where he made a permanent home. Year by year, with increased means at his command, his lumber operations became more and more extended until they reached colossal propor- tions. He began to invest heavily in lumber lands by purchasing in the sixteenth township and he secured prompt and substantial profits. He had the thorough knowledge of business and values, and uncommon shrewdness in buying and selling. All his investments turned out well, and his fortune became in the end second to none in the county. His career was a notable example of the Ameri- can self-made business man. He was asso- ciated with nearly all the financial corpora- tions of Glens Falls, either as trustee, direc- tor, manager or president. He was the first president of the Glens Falls Paper Mill Com- pany and also of the Bald Mountain Lime Company. In the early seventies he interested himself in erecting handsome business build- ings in Glens Falls. In politics he was a Re- publican, and in religion a Presbyterian. He married (first), March 4, 1824, Nancy Weed, born March 27, 1802, died June 12, 1848. He married (second), September 1, 1856, Char- lotte H. Conkling, of Martinsburg, Lewis
