Henry M. was a man of unusual power in the pulpit; of a genial, sympathetic disposition, and one whom all who knew him loved. He was a native of Glens Falls and entered Williams College, where he remained till some time during his third year, when he was compelled by his health to abandon study and take a sea voyage. On his return he resumed his studies at home. Visit- ing his Uncle Charles in Southampton he was engaged to teach the academy in that place, which the writer was then attending. No man more than he won the love of his scholars. He subsequently studied for the ministry and was licensed to preach, and ordained as pastor of the Presbyterian church at Moriches by the Presbytery of Long Island. His ministry was brief but eminently successful in building up the church of his charge, till failing health com- pelled him to resign.

GENEALOGIES.
PELLETREAU FAMILY.
The ancestors of this family were Hugue- nots, who, upon the revocation of the edict of Nantes, fled from France and sought safety and religious freedom in a foreign clime. . The first of the family in America were Jean Pelletrean and wife Magdalena and their nephews, Jean and Elie, the latter having two sons, Jean and Elie, which names were soon anglicized into John and Elias. These were direct descendants from an ancestor who was physician to Admiral Coligny, and, like his illustrious patron, perished in the mas- Belletreau. April. 17$ 157). sacre of St. Bartholomew, August 23, 1572. King Charles IX. granted him a coat of arms July 17, 1571. The following is a transla- tion of the description or blazon .
Azure : a column shortened, in pale or, encircled with a serpent proper, between two martlets of the second. Mantle and crest : (a helmet) as the shield.
Jean Ist was naturalized in New York Sept. 22, 1687, and died in 1700. His wife Magdalena died in 1702 without children. Jean 2d died in 1703 childless. He and his brother Elie were natural- ized July 10, 1696. The native place of this family was the village of Acres, in what is now the Department of Charente Inferienre.
They were all members of the French church in New York and in their wills left funds toward the support of its poor. Their names are found in connection with the troubles in that church, as in favor of Rev. Lewis Row. (See Doc. Hist. of N. Y., vol. 3.)
Elie Pelletreau died in 1730, leaving sons Elias, Paul, Francis, John and Benjamin and a daughter Magdalena. Elias died before his father and left dau. Mary and Elizabeth. Paul is supposed to have had a son Elias, who had ch. Elias, Samuel, Mary and John. From the first of these are descended the families now living in the city of Brooklyn. Benjamin was the youngest son and is not known to have left descendants.

PIERSON FAMILY.
Henry Pierson, the ancestor of the families of this name, now living in the town, came during the first or second year of the set- tlement. It is believed that he was the brother of Rev. Abraham Pierson, of whom an account has been given in the seventh chapter. His descendants are numerous, though but one family of this name resides in the village of Southampton at the present time. Like all, or nearly all, of the first settlers, Mr. Henry Pier- son was a Christian. In his own handwriting [and he was a fine penman and town clerk for many years] on the town records, penned doubtless in a devout frame of mind, is found the following:
" Jehovah I upon thee call ! ( make thou haste to me, And hearken thou unto my voyce, When I do crye to thee.'
