In commenting on this mass of material, I will pass over the fam- ily histories and all of the church records, except the Kingston First Reformed. This recond is extremely valuable for charting early families in New York State and is really the earliest authentic record. The New York Dutch Reformed records dat- ing back to 1649 were gathered together about 1800 and the compila- tion may be incomplete and has come down to us second hand. The Albany records have only been found back to 1683, although the church was form- ed in 1642. The Kingston registers are still intact and I examined the . originals only a few years ago. There are some 22,000 names in these-re-« gisters and their value cannot be ov % erestimated.


Under county and town histories, many of these contain blographical sketches which usually contain data only on one branch of a family and seldom goes back many generatlens. They are helpful for furnishing use- ful clues. The books on Marlborough. New York, the Salem, New York hawk Valleys are among the best. (To becontinued)


Village of Little Falls in 1838


Foreword


The following description of the vilage of Little Falls as it looked more than 100 years ago was written by that "Grand Old Man" of Fair- field Seminary who was connected with that institution for more than 50 years as student, teacher and vice principal. He obtained his first schooling in the then border settle- ment of the village of Little Falls. He saw the erection of the Stone Building Academy of Little Falls : and was one of its first pupils. He studied medicine in the Fairfield Medical College, but later entered the career of teaching. A versatile man. he taught at different times, all of the natural sciences, besides Latin and Greek. Professor Hall saw stu- dents leave Old Fairfield to adorn every calling in the United States: Hadley, professor of Greek in Yała and author of Hadley's Greek gram- mar; General Halleck of Civil War fame; Asa Gray, the world's fam- ous botanist; Concellor, Lord of the- New York Regents and long time ed !- tor of the New York Sun; Pat Mc- Evoy, Mohawk Valley's famous au- thor of the McEvoy Grain Elevato Bill, resident of Little Falls, were a few of Professor Hall's associates. Prof. James M. Hall and the Village of Little Falls 1838


I was born in Middleville, Novem- ber 21, 1832 and lived these until I was six years old. At that time my parents removed to Little Falls and although events of that time are somewhat vague in memory I can recall some of them quite distinctly. We moved late in the fall and oc- cupied a building on the corner of West Main and Third street opposite the post office. The building had formerly been a store and was paint- ed a dull green color so that it was called "The Old Green Store." My knowledge of Christmas and Santa Claus begins here. I then had a brother two years younger and we were told that we could hang up our stockings in a room where there was no fire and the stove pipe hole was open, and that Santa Claus would come down and fill them and I re- member that in the morning when we ran to look I wondered how Santa Claus could have gotten through that stove pipe hole.


I can remember too, of looking down upon the trains as they went hy on the railroad. The short coach- es not much larger than a Concord coach and the engine, with its comi- cal smoke pipe and what appeared to be a cup on the top with its visor toward the backside. We removed I think in the spring to a stone house on East Main street nearly opposite where Casler's store is now. Next us on the east lived David Loban, a Scotman who kept a small gro- cery and sometimes gave me little things.


A man by the name of Teft had a store opposite and sometimes when I would go in he would give me raisins. A little further east on that side was a hotel kept by Chas. Hinchman and next to that a stone dwelling house occupied by George H. Feeter. I think he was a lawyer, at any rate he was called "Squire" Feeter" and seemed to be a sort of

Indeed New York' trade conmittee asked for Newgate prisoners. To complete this picture it is to be said that English law was a rigid code. In 1600 the death penalty could be inflicted for 400 offenses, many a trivial nature. One could become a. convict or felon on some insignifi- cant charge.

At port in Am- Westport (1907) erica passage must be paid before leaving vessel. Parents had to in- denture their children whom they never saw again, even parents were often separated.


There were laws in the colonies regulating white servitude. Unlike the black man suit could be brought for justice and the master could be compelled to provide sufficient food and clothing. This was a common complaint made against Livingston by the Palatines of the Hudson riv- er settlement. The situation in New England and the middle colonies was far better than in the Southland, but cruelty was generally the rule in all the colonies both in white and black servitude. Miscegenation was preva- lent everywhere though laws were. passed to prevent it.


On the profit side of the ledger- of semi-slavery it is to be said that making a landed aristocracy of the south did not pay. In course of time the indentured had a small estate of his own. But the limits of progress had been set for them. There were a few exceptions as George Taylor and Matthew Thornton, signers of the Declaration , Charles Thomson, secretary of the Continental Congress: and General Sullivan, all are pro -. ducts of this white servitude.


In the end it may be argued that the institution was for the better -. ment of the colonies. After the Res volution radical changes ensued tho' in Pennsylvania it existed until 1831. In the southland the negro took its place, while in the north inven- tion of lahor machinery eased out this white servitude .

On our side the buildings were mostly of wood, and his clerk, Mr. Oliver. Dr. Wheel- low and were used for shoemaker's and tailor's shops, I think. On the corner of Second street was a drug store conducted by Dr . James Wheeler and I can still recall him an dhisc lerk, Mr. Oliver. Dr. Wheel- er had a son, James, about my own age and we were constantly together while we lived there. There were milliners and dressmakers east of us and Andrew A. Barstow and his daughters lived up there. They came from Fairfield but had become blind and in fancy I still see him walking up and down with his cane thumping on the flagstones. I cannot remem- ber much about East Main street. There were no boys there to play with and I seldom went in that di- rectlon. In the fall of 1839 we mov- ed to a house on the north side of Main street somewhat near the junc- tion of Fourth street and I çemem- ber that right there a man by the name of Gould Wilson had a cabinet shop and he had a lathe and saws which were operated by a horse- power in the basement. The horse hitched to a long lever walked around and turned a large cog wheel and he would stop or start at the ringing of a little bell. This Wilson had a -son Charles who was a playmate of mine. About halfway between Ann Land Second streets on the south side was a hotel with a passageway to the stables In the rear. This was conducted by a man by the name of Couch and afterwards by Wilson the cabinet maker. On the other side nearly opposite the James Feeter's grocery in a little low wood building standing with the gable end to the street. I used to go there frequently to see a clerk named Varnum Dear whom I had formerly known in Mld. dlevllle and who would sometimes give me candy.

(Continued from December 26) A diarist, Narcissus Luttrell notes November 17, 1692 that some eighty women profligates were exported to Virginia. London's prisons sent a host of prisoners to America. Old Baily, 'tis said sent 10,000 between 1717 and 1775. Maryland's historian, Scharf, says 20,000 felons were sent by Eng-


land to mingle with the colony's population. In the May 1747 issue of "Gentleman's Magazine" the names of 887 exported felons are publish- ed. Would the list of those prisoner ..
