And under her banner the lowly find rest.
Let the wanderer then to her standard repair, We have room, ample room, to extend our dominion,
And be free as the songsters that tenant the air,
The masters of action, of word and opinion, Let us ever rejoice In the land of our choice,
And our rulers elect by the popular voice.
That the servants who serve ns may act in the fear
Of the Judge before whom they will shortly appear.
Ye sons of Columbia, come hail the glad day, The festival day of our land's Independence,
-
Our fathers determined to spurn lawless sway, And purchase fair freedom for us their descendants, By the favor of heaven The blessing was given
To endure till the globe shall in sunder be riven , For freedom is man's indisputable right,
Of man in his weakness or man in his might.
Then ye sons of America forever revere The names of your Country's most gallant defendants, Their blood was the price of a purchase most dear, For millions this day of their happy descendants, Who swear to maintain Their noble domain,
Unpolluted by tyrants while time shall remain ;
Nor will tarnish the glory their ancestors won.
While the worlds in their orbits revolve round the sun.
Though the despots of Europe still rivet the chains, On the necks of their vassals and crush them to dust, Shall not heaven forbid that America's plains With the foot of a tyrant should e'er be accursed ? Be her freedom the same Till the angel proclaim,
Time ends, and the world is enveloped in flames, And the empires of earth in one ruin are hurled
At the great and the last winding up of the world.

EARLY CUSTOMS.
Here is a fragment which, in its easy flowing style, reminds one of Pope :
Hear when the widow and the orphan cry, And with a liberal hand the poor supply ; Nor with an envious eye the rich behold, None are the better for their sums of gold. A virtuous mind should be our only test,
He is the worthiest man who is the best. Wealth can no real happiness bestow,
How few in higher life contentment know ;
Then to the will of heaven be thou resigned, Enjoy thy fortune and contentment find.
When once requested to write an appropriate device for his sign, by a tavern-keeper, Mr. Halsey sent him the following grim effusion :
Rum, whisky, brandy, cordial, porter, beer, Ale, applejack and gin are dealt out here, Diluted, raw or mixt in any measure, To all consumers : come and act your pleasure, The above specifics will, in time, God knows,
Put to a period all your earthly woes,
Or would you bring life to a splendid close
Take double swigs, repeating dose on dose ; A panacea this for every ail,
"Iwill use you np, 'twas never known to fail, -
Use up your property, ere scarce you know it, Use up your character or sadly blow it,
Use up your health, and strength and mind's repose,
And leave mayhap your carcass to the crows.

GENEALOGIES.
CHAPTER XIII.
GENEALOGIES.
(The same abbreviations used in this as in the preceding chapter. The figures prefixed to the names serve only to identify them wherever found. In very many instances it has been found impossible to obtain the names of all the children of a man who, in a deed of gift [per- haps the only information on record concerning his family], merely mentions the name of the grantee.)
AT this distance of time it cannot be hoped to construct com- plete family records from the fragmentary and indirect facts pre- served in the records of the town ; and yet much has been accom- plished from this source. In some instances the author has received valuable assistance in his labor from members of families now living. Nearly all such persons consulted could contribute their family record for two or three generations back, but earlier than that but few could give any reliable information.
The old family records, if any were kept, have mostly perished in the lapse of ages, and it became necessary to collate and com- pare individual facts and statements without number, spread over hundreds of pages of manuscript, before what has been given could be ascertained with certainty.
It has frequently happened that while the relationship of father and son is clearly established from records, yet the date of birth can nowhere be found. In some cases the date of birth can only be determined proximately from tombstone inscriptions. The genealogies would have been fuller if letters of inquiry had been answered.
Abbreviations used in the following genealogies :
abt. == about. Used in dates ascertained from census. 1
ae .= aetatis=aged.
b .= born. bap .= baptized.
ch .= child or children.
d .= daughter or died, according to context.
d. s. p. = died without issue.
m .= married. 26

COAT ARMOR.
The names of nearly all the old families of Southampton are found in Burke's General Armory as entitled to coats of arms. None are given in this work, however, unless there is evidence that these particular families are by descent entitled to use them. This evidence is from seals, old pictures of arms on parchment, gravestones, or from establishing connection with an English family using the arms at the time of the settlement. Doubtless if the families here could be identified and located in England many more would be found entitled to coat armor. When it is said that Burke mentions in his General Armory coats of arms of different families, it is to be understood that all these are there described in detail.
BARNES FAMILY.
The name of William Barnes, planter, first occurs in 1644. In 1652 he sells his homestead at the " north end " to James Hamp- ton of Salem, and apparently removes from the town. The same year also a Richard B., living next to Joshua, and probably his brother, also sells his homestead and disappears. Joshua is first mentioned in 1649 when the town pays him money for his boat hire. 1 William1 then probably had children 2 Joshua2 and 3 Richard ?. € 1. 8.2925
2 Joshua2 had w. Prudence and ch. 4 Samuel3 and 5 William3.
4 Samuel3 m. Patience Williams Nov. 9, 1676, and had ch. 6 Patience4 b. Aug. 31, 1677, 7 Temperance4 b. Jan. 16, 1679, and 8 Joshua4 b. Apr. 8, 1683.
5 William3 lived in Sagg. In 1683 he bought land of his father, and in 1684 or 5 he removed to the town and county of West- chester, New York.
The homestead of 1 William Barnes was the lot now belonging to Albert J. Post north of his house and south of the homestead of William S. Pelletreau.
The homestead of Joshua Barnes was that now owned by William S. Pelletreau.
203
GENEALOGIES.
The family of this name in E. H. do not appear to be con- nected with the Barnes's of Southampton.
BISHOP FAMILY.
The first of this name in Southampton was John Bishop who is first mentioned on record Nov. 2, 1652, where he had a house lot of three acres granted him by the town, next north of the home lot of Joshua Barnes. The homestead of John Bishop was the late residence of Jonathan Fithian, Esq. This grant of a house lot only signifies that he was not a farmer.
1 Richard Bishop1 of Salem, Massachusetts, freeman May 18, 1642, residing there as early as 1635, d. Dec. 30, 1674, had w. Dulsabell who d. Aug. 23, 1658 ; he mar. again, Mary wid. of Wil- liam Gott, July 22, 1660. He had ch. 2 Thomas2, 3 John? and 4 Nathaniel2, the latter of whom may have come to E. H. where where was one early of this name.
3 John2 came to Southampton and had ch. 5 Richard3 b. Oct. 17, 1669, 6 John3, 7 Samuel3 and 8 Josiah3, and if any more I know not, nor the order of their birth of those named.

7 Samuel3 d. 1734, an old man, had w. Elizabeth and ch. 15 Samuel4, 16 John4, 17 Daniel4, 18 James4, 19 Susanna, 20 Mehet- abel4, 21 Phebe4, 22 Abigail4, 23 Hannah4, 24 Deborah4 and 25 Elizabeth4.
A Samuel, probably 15 Samuel4, had ch. 26 John5, 27 James5 and 28 Samuel5.
26 John5 had ch. 29 Pamela6, 30 John®, 31 Jerusha6 and 32 Mercy6.

HISTORY OF SOUTHAMPTON.
BURNETT FAMILY.
Thomas Burnett, the first of this name in Southampton, had a lot granted him October 13, 1643. He probably came here not long before this time. Savage mentions him as a resident of Lynn, Massa- chusetts, though Lewis and Newhall make no mention of him. No record of his emigration has been found to show from what county in England he came. The record of the branch in New Jersey has been furnished by Mr. John R. Burnett of South Orange, New Jersey.
1 Thomas1 d. about 1684 had first w. Mary and second w. Mary Pierson prob. d. of John Pierson of Lynn, m. in Lynn Dec. 3, 1663, he had ch. oldest 2 John2, 3 Aaron2 b. 1655, 4 Lot2, 5 Joel2, 6Dan2, 7 Mordecai2, and 8 Matthias2 b. 1674. (I do not know the order of the births of the ch. excepting John's, who is called the oldest son.)
2 John d. before 1684 and probably left no ch.
3 Aaron2 b. 1655 d. 1755 had w. Elizabeth and ch. 9 Aaron3, 10 Elizabeth3, 11 Hannah3 and 12 Moses3.
9 Aaron3 had w. Sarah and ch. 13 James4, 14 Matthias4, 15 William4 and 16 Aaron4.
13 James+ had s. 17 Matthias b. 1747.
17 Matthias was b. (according to Thompson's History of Long Island) at Bottle Hill, New Jersey, in 1747, graduated at Princeton, in 1769, and was settled in Jamaica as pastor of the Presbyterian church, where (says Thompson) he continued highly respected and useful till 1785, when he removed to Norwalk, Connecticut, and took charge of the Congregational church there and died in 1800. He had 1st w. Aun who d. July 7, 1789 ; married 2d wife Fanny d. of Rev. Azel Roe of Woodbridge, New Jersey, June 30, 1792. Had ch. James b. on Long Island Jan. 1, 1779, John Dee. 10, 1781, and Ann b. in Norwalk April 11, 1786. Whether he had any more ch. I know not.
15 William4 had son 18 Eliezur5 who was b. ", gradu- ated at Princeton college 1799 and was ordained minister in the Presbyterian church at Newburgh, New York, Nov. 20, 1805, and died in New Brunswick, New Jersey, of consumption Nov. 22 of the following year.
12 Moses3 d. 1741 had ch. 19 Justus4, 20 William4, 21 John' and 22 Samuel4. Most or all of these four ch. of Moses probably removed if they attained maturity.

4 Lot?, cordwainer, m. Phebe Mills Oct. 20, 1675, and he d. June 16, 1702.
