"Dr. White was systematic in his habits, and strictly temperate. His manners were mild and ur- bane in every class of society. He was a sincere friend of the poor."
"At the age of seventy-eight he commenced a daily journal, noting the incidents of each day and

the state of the weather. This habit-remarkable for one to begin in advanced life-he continued for eight years, and until a few days previous to his death. The evening of Dr. White's life was passed in a beautiful serenity, surrounded by every comfort, and every want anticipated by loving friends, while his exemplary christian life was crowned by the christian's hope of a glorious immortality. He was seized with paralysis on the 5th of December, 1862, and died on the 10th inst., at the advanced age of 86 years. Dr. (Bartow) White was the father of twelve children, nine daughters and three sons. All the daughters and one son survive him."
"Born amidst the stirring events of 1776, he grew up a twin child of Liberty. Love of country was a principle with him as strong as life, and patriotism a feeling which only death could extin- guish." "
The names of the children surviving Dr. Bartow White and his wife, are : Helena, Catherine, Matil- da, Evelina, Louis B., Anna, Harriet, Mary, Octa- via and Novenia.
Ebenezer, the second son of Dr. Ebenezer, of Yorktown, also made choice of the arduous profes- sion of his father as the pursuit of his life. He was the pupil of his father, and finished his studies by attending medical lectures in the city of New York. - After completing his professional education, he married Amy, daughter of the late Samuel Green of the town of Somers, Westchester County.

FAMILY RECORDS.
He purchased a farm near the village of Somers, and commenced the practice of his profession soon after he had attained his majority. Abstemious, en- ergetic, a lover of the right and an earnest laborer for the good of the community, here he passed a long, active and useful life, uniformly opposing every im- mortality, and carefully protecting his large family of children from the vicious and irreligious influ- ences by which they were surrounded.
To the sick poor he was ever assidious in his at- tentions, and during the last few years of his life they were almost his only patients. .
Of this venerable doctor and devout christian, we find an editorial obituary, in the " Highland Demo- crat," which we transcribe for these pages.
" Dr. Ebenezer White-on Saturday night, March 18th, (1865)-the subject of this brief notice, was struck with paralysis, and on Monday night follow- ing, died, having attained the advanced age of eighty-five years."
"He had practised as a physician in the town of Somers, where he always lived and where he died, more than sixty years, and only during the last two or three years did he claim exemption from the heavy cares and duties of his profession. His mind was clear and vigorous until the last fatal attack."
"As a physician, Dr. W. enjoyed the respect of the profession, and the confidence of the people among whom, for more than sixty years, he labored to alleviate suffering and arrest death."
" As a man, he was conscientious and honest, as a neighbor kind and obliging, as a christian, consistent 46

and faithful to all the duties of that high profession, so far as man can judge.
" Twice only, we believe, he held public office. About thirty-six years ago he filled, with credit to himself, and satisfaction to the people, the office of Surrogate of Westchester County, and, at least, once represented this country in the State Legisla- ture."
"Three sons survive and adorn the profession which their father so long followed, besides two others who pursue different callings. Two daughters only survive."
"In politics Dr. White was republican, in re- ligion a presbyterian, in theory and practice an ar- dent temperance man. His death will create a void in the church of which he was the chief supporter, and for fifty five years an honored member, and in the social circle where he was universally beloved. Many will mourn the loss of a friend-few if any, have any enmities to bury with him." "
Dr. Ebenezer of Somers, survived his wife a little over four years. They had children Bartow F., a physician, who married Ann Augusta, youngest daughter of the late Dr. Elisha Belcher of Round Hill, Greenwich, Conn., where he now resides, hav- ing succeeded Dr. Belcher in his practice. He has three children, viz : Stephen, Alethea and Elisha.
Dr. Bartow F. was for many years greatly occu- pied with an extensive practice, and has three times represented his district in the Legislature of his State.

He married for his first wife, Sarah, daughter of the late Rev'd Silas Constant, of Yorktown. She lived but a few months, and was buried in her bridal costume. Dr. H. then married for his second wife, Mary, widow of Dr. Stephen Fowler of New Castle, and daughter of Dr. Elisha Belcher of Greenwich, Conn. Dr. Henry was for several years Surrogate of his county (an office his brother Ebenezer also held,) and in 1823 became one of the Judges of the County Court. He devoted much of his time to the different religious and philanthropic societies of his day, and died November, 1857, aged 76 years.

Having finished the record-as far as possible- of the Descendants of Ebenezer, seventh son of the Rev'd Sylvanus White, of Southampton, we con- clude with Doctor Henry White, of Southampton, the eighth son and youngest child of his father, Rev'd Sylvanus White. He lived until he attained the advanced age of ninety-one years, when he died December 20th, 1840. Although so aged, his sight was perfectly clear, and unimpaired till his death, never requiring the use of spectacles. He was a surgeon in the army of the Revolution, and at one time a pris- oner on board the Jersey prison ship at Brooklyn.
He married for his first wife a daughter of the Rev'd Nathaniel Eells, of Middletown, Conn. After her death he married Miss Ann Stephens, by whom he had three children, that lived to adult years, viz : Hannah E., Sylvanus and Phebe. The two daughters were the wives of Capt. J. Parker.

WICK FAMILY.
John Wick, the first of this name, is first men- tioned in 1693. He lived first in Southampton, then moved to Bridge Hampton, where he died. 1 John b 1661 d 1719, had s 2 Job, who had ch. 3 William, 4 Zebulon, b 1748 d 1809, 5 Henry and 6 Lemuel. 4 Zebulon had w Mary and ch. 7 Lu- cretia, 8 William b 1793, 9 Lemuel, 10 Susana and 11 Elizabeth. 8 William had w Milicent Pierson, and ch. Philetus, Lemuel and William.
It is possible that 2 Job was son of Job, who was s of John, though the records make it probable that the first record given is correct.
The epitaph of John Wick reads as follows :
Here | was layed | the Body of Mr | John Wick Esq | Who Dyed Janvary | the 16th anno 1719 | In the 59th year | of his age.
The stone is in the centre of a six or eight acre lot, in Bridge Hampton. The tradition is that he gave direction to have his body laid here, but his friends disregarded it and attempted to dig a grave in the grave yard, but the ants came out in such swarms, and filled the grave as they dug, that they were compelled to abandon their purpose. Another tradition says that the heirs not liking the disposi- tion of the property made in the will, read a sum- mons over his grave, calling him to appear in court, and show cause why the will should not be broken. He was a magistrate and a man of note, in his day and generation.

WOODRUFF FAMILY.
John Woodruff is first mentioned in the list of 1657. His son John was the adopted son of John Gosmer, and lived on the late residence of Mr. Charles Pelletreau. It does not appear that he had more than one son. Of his grand children, Benjamin lived in Southampton, and his three sons removed to Bridge Hampton,-of the other three ch. of John, viz., Samuel, Nathaniel and Isaac, I know nothing, except they are mentioned as young men residing in Southampton. They either removed, or died with- out issue.

WOOLLEY FAMILY.
Robert Woolley, the first of this name, is first mentioned in the list of 1657. Savage, in Gen. Dict. says, Robert Woolley, of Fairfield, Mass., 1649 and 1653, removed soon afterwards to parts unknown. His whereabouts are now presumed to be settled.
1 Robert had ch. 2 John and 3 Joseph. 2 John had ch. 4 William, 5 Charles, 6 Benjamin and 7 John of Southold. 4 William had s 8 Silas b 1746, d 1806, who had ch. 9 William, 10 Deac.

ANNIVERSARY OF THE SETTLEMENT.
CELEBRATION OF THE
225TH ANNIVERSARY
OF THE SETTLEMENT OF SOUTHAMPTON, DECEMBER 13, 1866.
This day was chosen as the anniversary of the day on which legal possession of their homes was ob- tained from the Indians, as may be seen from the date of the Indian deed given in the Appendix. The historical discourse was delivered by Rev. Geo. Rogers Howell, and the following ode written for the occasion, by Mrs. Maria J. R. Howell, was finely rendered by a large choir :
At a meeting in the evening, appropriate addresses were made by H. R. Stiles, M. D., and Mr. Alden J. Spooner of Brooklyn, and the Rev. Messrs. W. B. Reeves of Westhampton, and Epher Whitaker of Southold.
Rise up ye people with anthems of praise, And loud to Jehovah your thanksgivings raise ; Praise ye the might which hath built here an altar, And gathered a people from over the sea ; Sing to the mercy whose love cannot falter, And praise ye Jehovah the God of the free. Rise up ye people with anthems of praise, And loud to Jehovah your thanksgivings raise.
Ages have rolled down the dark stream of time, Since leaving the shores of their own native clime, Seeking a home on this ocean girt Isle,
Where free from the weight of oppression's hard rod, Untrammeled by rank and unfettered by guile, Our fathers might dwell, and in peace worship God. Rise up ye people with anthems of praise, And loud to Jehovah your thanksgivings raise.
Here in their Island homes they have been blest, An oasis fair upon ocean's broad breast ;
The loved forms that builded the first cottage fires Long since have slumbered beneath the green sod ; But the children impressed with the same fond desires Still bring to this altar their tribute to God.
Rise up ye people with anthems of praise, And loud to Jehovah your thanksgivings raise.
