were Heinrich Maag, a brother and Barbara Maag a sister of Conrad. Hein- rich Maag, Jacob Maag and a Hans Hendrick Maag, arrived in the "Royal Judith," September 2, 1743, and Jacob Maag was one of the signers of a letter from members of the German Reformed congregation at Market square, Ger- mantown, to the Holland Synod in 1744. It is possible and even probable that the Heinrich Maag, above mentioned as a passenger on the "Royal Judith" was the Henry Maag with whom this sketch is concerned. His brother Conrad, born 1731, would have been then under 16, and would not have been mentioned on the passenger list. Neither does this list give the name of women passengers, which would account for the absence of the name of his sister and mother.
Henry, or according to the German form of the name, Heinrich Maag pur- chased 55 acres of land in Passyunk township, Philadelphia, May 6, 1761, it being part of on original grant by Governor Richard Nicholls of New York, January I, 1667, to Dunkin Williams. Here he lived as a farmer until his death, Janu- ary 10, 1787. His first wife Verena (Frances) died July II, 1783, and he mar- ried (second), January 20, 1784, Elizabeth Brown, a widow, who survived him. By his first wife he had five children, Jacob, John, Solomon, Ann, and Verena (or Frances). His will directed that his plantation and tract of land in Passyunk and his house and lot at Third and Gaskell streets, where his son Jacob lived, be sold within one year. His estate amounted to £2,444; to his widow he devised his riding chair, horse and harness, and £400.
His son, Jacob Maag, married, April 16, 1773, Marial, daughter of John and Catharine Peltz, and they were the parents of Catharine Maag, (b. 1774, d. 1855) wife of Samuel Jarden, and grandmother of Cynthia Ann (Jarden) Magee, whose maternal ancestry follows :
Nathaniel Whiting, born in England, in 1609, was a land owner in Lynn, Mas- sachusetts, in 1638. He is next mentioned in the records of the First church of Dedham, as admitted to that church, July 30, 1641. He was by occupation a miller and was the first to operate a corn mill in Dedham, the site of which is now marked by a stone monument, bearing the inscription, "Near this spot the first dam and mill were built in 1640." On the assessment list for the sup- port of Harvard College, December 5, 1667, appears the name of Nathaniel Whiting to the amount of 6 sh. 5 d .; that of Elder John Hunting, for 14 sh. IO d .; and that of Robert Ware for 9 sh. 6d., all payable in Indian corn. Ware and Hunting were also ancestors of Cynthia Eunice Whiting as hereafter shown. July 14, 1673, on the rate list to defray the expenses of King Philip's War, "Sar- gent Nath. Whiting" is rated for 6 sh. 3 d., and, March 14, 1680, a bill is given Nathaniel Whiting for corn lent to pay the Indian Nehodin. The Whiting fam- ily were millers on the same site for over one hundred and fifty years, and at least twelve of Nathaniel Whiting's descendants were owners of mills in Ded- ham, Wrentham, Medway, and Whitingville, Massachusetts, and Chester, Ver- mont. The first Nathaniel Whiting died in Dedham, November 15, 1682. He married, at Dedham, November 4, 1643, Hannah Dwight, who survived him and died November 4, 1714, aged 89 years. She had 14 children.
John Dwight, father of Hannah (Dwight) Whiting, came from Dedham, England, to New England, prior to 1635, and settled first in Watertown, Massachusetts, soon after removing to Dedham. Winthrop's Journal states that John Dwight and others conveyed the first water mill to Dedham, in September, 1635. He brought
586
MAGEE
considerable estate from England and was a well-to-do farmer. He is repre- sented as "having been publicly useful and a great peace-maker." He was one of the promoters of the First Church of Christ, which was gathered at Ded- ham in 1638, and was selectman, 1639-1655. He was the common ancestor of nearly all who bear the name of Dwight in America, including two presi- dents of Yale College. He died February 3, 1660. Over one-fifth of his estate was devised to his daughter Hannah Whiting, who was named for her mother.
John, son of Nathaniel and Hannah (Dwight) Whiting, was born in Dedham, Massachusetts, in 1665, and died in Wrentham in 1732. He married in 1688, Mary Billings, and they were the parents of-
Captain Nathaniel Whiting, born in Wrentham, Massachusetts, February 2, 1691. He married there, April 18, 1711, Margaret Mann, and moved to Med- field, Massachusetts, and in 1717, when the new town of Medway was founded he was one of the founders and for eight years, betwen 1723 and 1749, served as selectman. He was captain of a company formed in Medway to serve in the Indian war in 1745, and an ancient record of the company is headed, "An Account of the persons impressed by Captain Whiting and done service for his Majesty, June 17, 1745". When Captain Whiting was 80 years old, his name appears on a list of men returned by a committee of the town of Medway, as having rendered military service at various times subsequent to April 19, 1775, with the rank of captain. Captain Nathaniel Whiting owned 618 acres of land, about one-fourth of what is now Medway. He was chosen moderator of the Second Church of Christ in Medway, October 8, 1750, and was for many years an elder thereof. He died in West Medway, September 4, 1779, leaving a will dated April 4, 1770. A full account of him is given in the Dedham Historical' Register, for October, 1901, and January, 1902. His wife Margaret (Mann); Whiting was born 1691, and died in 1775. She was a daughter of
The Rev. Samuel Mann, born in Cambridge, Massachusetts, July 6, 1647, son of William Mann, born in England in 1697, by his wife Mary Jarrard, whom he married in 1643. The Rev. Samuel Mann graduated from Harvard College in 1665, at the age of eighteen years. May 3, 1667, he was appointed by the selectmen of Dedham, Massachusetts, as schoolmaster, the entry on the town records for that date reading, "Agreed with Mr. Samuel Mann to teach the male children that shall be sent to him in English, writing, grammar, and arithmetick, for the space of one whole year, for which he is to receive 20 pounds." He continued there for five years, the first two years accepting part of his salary in Indian corn at the valuation of three shillings per bushel. In 1672 he became pastor of the church at Wrentham, and preached there to the sixteen families of the town until March 30, 1676, when the town was entirely abandoned because of King Philip's war, and after the flight of the inhabitants, all the houses but two were burnt by the Indians returning from the outrages at Medfield. Mr. Mann went back to Dedham, and again taught school there; but he came once more to Wrentham with the other inhabitants, in August, 1680, and again ministered to them, though he was not ordained until April 13, 1692, when he preached his own ordination sermon from I Cor. 4:2, and, May 1, 1692, seventeen persons were baptised by him. Judge Sewell's diary for September 16, 1697, says, "Mr. Danforth and I and our men set out to come home, go by Wrentham to visit Mr. Mann, who hath II children." Sept. 12, 1703, "Col. Hathborn and I hear
587
MAGEE
Mr. Mann preach and dine with him." October 16, 1699, in the dead of night, Mr. Mann's house with all the records of the church were burned. His last .ser- mon was preached March 1, 1719, and he died May 22, 1719, "beloved by all his people; not only a very good man but a very learned man." He married, at Dedham, Massachusetts, May 15, 1673, Esther Ware, who survived him and died September 3, 1734, aged 79. She was a daughter of Captain Robert Ware, who came from England prior to 1642. He was a member of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company in 1644, and married in Dedham, March 24, of that year, Margaret, daughter of Elder John Hunting, before referred to, by his wife Esther Seaborn, who had accompanied her parents from England in 1638. Robert Ware joined the Church of Dedham, October 1I, 1646, the date of bap- tism of his eldest child. Before the burning of Wrentham, during King Philip's war, Captain Robert Ware mustered a company of a dozen resolute men and attacked a party of 42 Indians, killing all but two of them. His name was sec- ond on the town list of Dedham in point of wealth. "Robert Ware, the aged" died April 19, 1699. His wife had died at Dedham, August 26, 1670.
Lieutenant Nathan, son of Captain Nathaniel and Margaret (Mann) Whiting, and his twin brother, Nathaniel, were born in Medway, Massachusetts, Sept. 22, 1725. He was a miller, farmer and large property owner. He was a lieutenant of militia and served in both the French and Indian war and the Revolution. His name appears at the head of a list of 21 names of "The men who have done service against the French, in the expedition under Lord Loudon," along the Canadian border, signed by Jonathan Adams, Captain, May 29, 1759. Nathan Whiting's name appears again on a list of officers nominated by Colonel Pond for commissions in Captain Job Plimpton's Second Medway Company, dated at Dedham, September 16, 1771, commissions to be dated September 19.
Lieutenant Nathan Whiting was one of the men detached, June 22, 1778, from Captain Moses Adam's Company from Medway, to go to Providence, Rhode Island, to serve until January 1, 1779. He died in Medway, May 9, 1709. His will devises to his son Nathaniel, his silver hilted rapier which had been presented to him by the citizens of Medway, in recognition of his bravery on the field of battle. He married, May 23, 1749, Mary, (b. 1728, d. 1798), granddaughter of John and Mehitabel (Sevels) Metcalf, and great-granddaughter of Jonathan Metcalf, (b. 1650, d. May 27, 1724), who was a son of Michael Metcalf (2), by his wife Mary, daughter of Jonathan Fairbanks; and grandson of Michael Met- calf (I), the first schoolmaster in Dedham, Massachusetts. Jonathan Metcalf served in King Philip's war, and received pay for military services between January 24 and December 24, 1676. He was a deacon of the Dedham Church, October 10, 1671, when he was assessed with others to help defray the expenses of the funeral of their late pastor, the Rev. John Allin. He married, April 10, 1674, Hannah Kenric, born 1652, died 1731.
John, son of Jonathan and Hannah (Kenric) Metcalf, and grandfather of Mary (Metcalf) Whiting, was born in Dedham, March 20, 1678, and died there October 16, 1749. He was a tanner and farmer and one of the best known and prominent men of the town. He served as representative in the General Court for six years; was town clerk for sixteen years; selectman for sixteen years and held a number of other positions of trust. The inventory of his estate shows that he had a library of 99 volumes, and 228 pamphlets, something very unusual
588
MAGEE
for any individual of that time and especially so for a farmer. Other items on the inventory were "32 cattle, 3 horses, valued at 679 pounds; silver plate and jewelry at 331 pounds; and four punch bowls. The sermon preached at his funeral by the Rev. Samuel Denker, was published at the time. He was three times married and had eighteen children. His first wife, Mehitabel Sevels, daughter of John and Mehitabel, was the grandmother of Mary Metcalf Whit- ing.
John (2), son of John (1) and Mehitabel (Sevels) Metcalf, was born in Dedham, Massachusetts, in 1704, and died in 1799. He married, July 31, 1728, a daughter (b. Dedham, 1702), of Vigilance Fisher (b. 1654, d. 1713), and Hanna (Hewins) Lyons, daughter of Jacob and Mary Hewins. Lieutenant Joshua Fisher, the father of Vigilance Fisher was baptised at Syleham, Eng- land, the Parish record reading as follows, "1621, Joshua Fysher, the sonne of Joshua Fysher, was baptised on the 2nd daye of Aprille." On the town rec- ords of Dedham, Massachusetts, in 1637, is the following entry, "First of ye IIth Mo. 1637, upon motion made by Anthony Fisher it is considered that Joshua Fisher may enter upon the Smith's Lott and there fitt himselfe ye build- ing to doe some work of the trade for ye town in the behalfe of his Father who is expected this next Somer." In August 1639, he joined the Dedham Church, the following year became a member of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company and was its second sergeant, in 1648. He was known throughout the Colony as Lieutenant Joshua Fisher; at a town meeting Janu- ary 16, 1649, he was chosen selectman and continued in that office for twenty- two years. He was town surveyor and did considerable surveying outside of Dedham, one of his largest surveys, 8,000 acres at Deerfield, being completed in May, 1665. He went to the General Court as deputy from Dedham from 1653 to 1672. In 1664, the General Court granted him 300 acres of land for sur- veying the south line of the Patent of Massachusetts Bay Colony, next to Plymouth. In 1666 he settled the controversy between Mr. Gold and Governor Endicott as to land bounds and laid out the Governor's farm on Ipswich River. November 14, 1660, he and Sergt, Ellice were deputed "to treat and to conclude with the Indians that claim at Wrentham, to buy them all out, and clear the place from all Indian title." Another curious order from the General Court is as follows, "In answer to the request of the selectmen of Dedham in regard of their remoteness from Boston, Lieut. Joshua Fisher might have liberty to sell some strong watters to supply ye necessity of such as shall stand in need thereof in that town, the Court grantes theire request." Joshua Fisher died in Dedham August 10, 1672. He married February 16, 1654, Lydia, widow of S. Oliver.
Nathaniel Whiting, father of Cynthia Eunice (Whiting) Jarden, above men- tioned, was a son of Lieutenant Nathan and Mary (Metcalf) Whiting, and was born in West Medway, Massachusetts, February 1, 1770. Soon after coming of age, he removed to Providence, Rhode Island. June 2, 1799, he married Cynthia, daughter of David Richardson of Attleboro, Massachusetts, of whom presently, and, his father having died a month previously, sold his share of the estate to his brother Timothy Whiting, and soon after removed to Philadelphia, where he took up his residence at No. 77 Water street. Here his daughter, Cynthia Eunice Whiting, later the wife of Samuel Jarden, was born in 1803. Nathaniel Whiting engaged in several lines of business in Philadelphia, during
589
MAGEE
the period of nearly twenty years that he resided there, in all of which he was more or less unsuccessful. In September, 1820, he left the city for Lubeck, Maine, and after a short stay there engaged in business in New York city. He died in 1823, and his widow returned to Philadelphia where she continued to reside, after 1827, with her married daughter, Mrs. Jarden, their only child. She died in Philadelphia, in January, 1856.
David Richardson, father of Mrs. Cynthia (Richardson) Whiting, was born in Attleboro, Massachusetts, in 1746, and was a son of William and Mary (Coy) Richardson; grandson of William and Rebecca (Vinton) Richardson, great- grandson of Stephen and Abigail (Wyman) Richardson; and great-great- grandson of Samuel and Joanna Richardson. During the Revolution, David Richardson was a member of the Committee of Safety of Attleboro, Massachu- setts. He was a farmer in what is now known as Attleboro Falls. He married, about 1770, Abigail Peck, who survived him and died May 15, 1838, aged 88 years. He died December 25, 1823, aged 77 years. Their daughter Cynthia was born in 1771.
James Francis and Cynthia Ann (Jarden) Magee, had four children, viz, Cynthia Whiting Magee, who married January 13, 1887, Edwin John Stevens, of Baltimore, grandson of Governor Samuel Stevens, of Maryland, and of dis- tinguished Maryland and Pennsylvania ancestry, an account of which is here- after given; Michael Jarden Magee, James Francis Magee (2), George W. Magee, of whom presently.
MICHAEL JARDEN MAGEE, eldest son of James Francis and Cynthia Ann (Jar- den) Magee, married January 22, 1890, Mary E. Miskey, and they have two children, Elizabeth and Cynthia. He graduated from the Polytechnic College of Philadelphia, in June, 1881, and engaged in mining near Leadville, Colorado. For many years he has been a resident of Sault Ste Marie, Michigan, where he is engaged in real estate and editing the Soo Daily. He is also Vice-President of the Soo Trust Co.
JAMES FRANCIS MAGEE (2), born in Philadelphia, January 7, 1876, was edu- cated at the Friends Central School of Philadelphia, and the University of Pennsylvania, graduating from the scientific department of the University with the degree of B. S. in 1887. He is a merchandise broker in Philadelphia. He is a member of the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity, of the University Club, the Spring Haven Country Club, the Racquet Club, the Rose Tree Hunt, and the Franklin Chess Club. He is also a member of the Pennsylvania Society of the Sons of the Revolution, and of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania. He and his family are members of the Second Presbyterian church of Philadelphia. Mr. Magee married, February 4, 1891, Mary, daughter of Thomas Mayland and Myra Barclay (Kennedy) Adams, and great-granddaughter of Captain Thomas Adams, the owner and editor of the Boston Independent Chronicle, the most influential Anti-Federalist paper in New England, from 1783 to his death in 1799. He was a first cousin to Samuel Adams, the patriot of the Rev- olution and second cousin to President John Adams.

Philadelphia. He is a member of the firm of McIntyre, Magee & Brown, whole- sale opticians, Philadelphia, a trustee of the Presbyterian Hospital, a member of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, of the Presbyterian Church of Over- brook, and the Presbyterian Social Union and has served as a delegate to the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church. He married, May 21, 1896, Sarah Streeper, daughter of John and Catharine Vandorn (Leigh) Andrews of Princeton, New Jersey, and a descendant of the Vandorn family which came from Holland in the seventeenth century. They have two children, Leigh Jar- den Magee, and Frances Whiting Magee. Their eldest child, Francis Andrews Magee, died in infancy.
CYNTHIA WHITING MAGEE, daughter of James Francis and Cynthia Ann (Jarden) Magee, married, January 13, 1887, Edwin John Stevens a wholesale druggist, of Baltimore, where they reside with their two daughters, Cynthia Jar- den, and Sarah Eccleston Stevens; their eldest child, James Magee Stevens, died in infancy.
Edwin John Stevens (2), was born in Talbot County, Maryland, December 31, 1853, and is a son of Edwin John Stevens (I), who was born in Talbot county in 1818, and died, June 5, 1854, and his wife, Sarah Hooper Eccleston, born October 26, 1822, died December 31, 1894, whom he married, November 14, 1843. She was a daughter of the Hon. Thomas John Hugh Eccleston, (1785- 1868) of Dorcester county, Maryland, a graduate of Princeton University and several years a member of the Maryland State Senate, by his wife Sarah Ennalls, daughter of Major John Hooper, of Cambridge, Maryland, an officer in the Revolutionary War, and granddaughter of General Henry Hooper and his wife Ann Ennalls. Thomas Firmin Eccleston, the maternal great-grandfather of Mr. Edwin John Stevens, who died June 10, 1785, married April 18, 1782, Milcah (Airey) Pitt, daughter of Rev. Thomas Airey, (1701-1760) first rector of the Episcopal church of Cambridge, Maryland, by his wife Milcah Gale. In the possession of the present Edwin John Stevens, is a ring engraved with the coat of arms of the Eccleston family, which was brought from Lancashire, Eng- land, by his great-great-grandfather Hugh Eccleston, the founder of the prom- inent family of Eccleston in Cambridge, Maryland. Edwin John Stevens, (1) was a son of Governor Samuel Stevens, born July 13, 1778, died February 7, 1860, of Compton, Talbot County, Maryland.
Samuel Stevens was elected governor of Maryland in 1822 and re-elected in 1823 and 1824, serving the three years permitted by the constitution of the state. He was a son of John and Elizabeth (Connelly) Stevens, and grandson of Thomas Stevens, (1678-1752), and was educated at the school of the Rev. John Bowie. On attaining his majority, the care of his father's plantations gave him sufficient occupation and he turned his attention to agriculture. It was through his influence that the Maryland Agricultural Society was founded and he was its first president, serving in that capacity for a long series of years. He married, June 2, 1804, Eliza May, daughter of Robert May, of Chester county, Pennsyl- vania, and within a few years thereafter made his initial appearance in state affairs as a member of the state legislature, being first elected a delegate from Talbot county in 1807. He was repeatedly re-elected and took an active part in the deliberations of the house during the sessions of 1808, 1809, 1811, 1813, 1817, 1819, and 1820. He was a colonel of militia and had command of the
591
MAGEE
militia of the county during the war of 1812-14. His residence, Compton, near Trappe, where Governor Stevens died in 1860, was finely situated near the Choptank, upon a cove, where Dividing creek falls into that river. During the war of 1812, Admiral Blackburn, with part of the British fleet passed up to this point, and, from the number of buildings supposing the plantation to be a small town, he opened his port-holes to bombard it, but being informed by some runaway slaves on board that it was a private residence, he dropped down the river. Colonel Stevens being apprehensive of an attack, had sent his wife and her young family to a place of safety before the arrival of the fleet. Eliza May, the wife of Governor Samuel Stevens, was born in Chester county, Penn- sylvania, March 2, 1787, and died at Compton, December 8, 1834. She was a daughter and granddaughter of Robert May, the elder Robert, born 1696, died 1749, married in 1724, Elizabeth Brooke, of a prominent Chester county and Maryland family, and Robert May (2), the father of Mrs. Stevens, born Feb- ruary 4, 1750, died February 16, 1786, married Rebecca Grace Potts, born July 5, 1760, died July 30, 1789, of the famous family of iron-masters of Pottstown and vicinity. She was a daughter of Thomas Potts, born May 29, 1735, died March 22, 1785, and his wife, Anna Nutt, whose father and grandfather were also prominently identified with the Pennsylvania iron industry; son of John Potts, (1710-1768), the founder of Pottstown, and his wife, Ruth, daughter of Samuel and Anna (Rutter) Savage, and granddaughter of Thomas Rutter, the first iron-master of Pennsylvania. Thomas Potts, Junior, the father of John Potts, last mentioned came with his uncle Thomas Potts, Senior, from Wales, and lived for a time in Germantown. He married, August 20, 1699, Martha, daughter of Peter Keurlis one of the founders of Germantown, and prominent- ly associated with its early history.
EDGAR ARTHUR SINGER
EDGAR ARTHUR SINGER, one of the prominent educators of Philadelphia, is of German and English ancestry and numbers among his progenitors some of the earliest German immigrants to Pennsylvania.
CASPAR SINGER, the earliest paternal ancestor of whom we have any definite record, came from Alsace to Pennsylvania, prior to September, 1727, since his name does not appear on the lists of foreigners naturalized, or qualified as sub- jects of the English crown, under the Act of Assembly of Pennsylvania of that date, by which all foreigners were required by the masters of the several ships to qualify before leaving their custody. As a further evidence of his earlier immigration, we find that Caspar Singer was naturalized by Act of Assembly May 19, 1739, showing that he had not been previously qualified. He was, however, a landholder prior to this date, as we find that he paid quit rent on 50 acres of land in Hanover township, Philadelphia (now Montgomery) county, where he died in March, 1759. By his wife, Anna Margaretha, a native of Swit- zerland, he had a son of the same name.
CASPAR SINGER (2), son of Caspar (I) and Anna Margaretha, born in Han- over township, Philadelphia county, Pennsylvania, October 6, 1738, removed when a young man to Lancaster county, and owned and operated a tannery in Lancaster. He was a private in Captain Jasper Yeates company, Lancaster militia, attached to Colonel Matthias Slough's battalion of Associators, "destined for the camp in the Jerseys, September 5, 1776." After the close of the Rev- olutionary war he removed to Philadelphia and carried on business as a gro- cer at 137, (old number) High, (now Market) street. He died in Philadelphia, February 24, 1797, and was buried in the Lutheran burying-ground on Eighth street, between Race and Vine streets. Jacob Krug, step-son of Caspar Singer was captain of a company in the same battalion; and Valentine Krug, another step-son, was ensign of Captain Samuel Boyd's company in Colonel John Fer- ree's battalion, which accompanied Slough's battalion in the campaign in the Jerseys. Caspar Singer married, at St. James Episcopal church, Lancaster, Pennsylvania, August 10, 1759, Eve Maria (Spangler) Krug, (b. Nov. 10, 1726) widow of Valentine Krug, of Lancaster, and daughter of Adam Spangler, of New Hanover township, Philadelphia (now Montgomery) county, who died in 1737, leaving a widow Anna Maria, and four daughters.
