In religion he was a Universalist and a prominent member of that church in New York City until his death. Theology was for many years the principal theme of his thought and pen, especially in his later years, and he was always ready and able to give clearly defined reasons for the faith that was in him.
He was a splendidly-equipped and well-informed conversationalist, and in all of his relationships, had the ease, dignity and reserve of an old school gentleman, to which title he had every rightful claim.
He died suddenly June 1, 1884, at his residence, No. 351 West Ninety-second street, New York City, after a short illness from pneumonia. Funeral services were held at the Fifty-seventh Street Universalist Church by Dr. Pullman. In con- formance with an earlier request he was buried in the Southwick vault at New Baltimore, near Albany.
His will is dated New York City, August 25, 1882, proven October 29, 1885, and is recorded Liber 345 of Wills, page 24, New York City. It makes equal division of his estate between his surviving widow, Charlotte A. Waddell, and his daughter, S. Alice (Waddell) Smith.
The following are brief abstracts from the more extended notices of his death appearing in the New York Press at the time :
"Yesterday morning after a severe attack of pneumonia of three days duration, Mr. Wm. Coventry H. Waddell, one of New Yorks best known citizens, passed away in the 83rd year of his age * * * for many years he was one of the largest real estate owners on Manhattan Island * * * the Panic of 57 almost ruined Mr. Waddell. 'But for that panic,' said a promi- nent business man yesterday, 'I do not question that Wm. Coventry H. Waddell, would have been worth his hundreds of millions'." (N. Y. Truth, June 3, 1884).
"We have just learned the sad news of the death of one of New Yorks oldest and most esteemed citizen, Mr. Wm. Coventry H. Waddell. Although past 80 years of age he was so vigorous that his death will surprise those who have seen him most of late years. He caught cold a few days ago and it ran into pneumonia. At I o'clock this morning he passed away. He was born in Wall Street in 1802 and was directly descended from the Earls of Coventry. He was an intimate friend of General Jackson, who when President made him Marshal for this district. He was remarkable for the dignity and courtesy of his manner, for the fresh- ness of his interests in scientific and religious questions and for his fidelity to duty." (Un- identified N. Y. paper, June 2 or 3, 1884).
"The death of Wm. Coventry H. Waddell which occured recently recalls many facts of the somewhat remarkable career of that gentleman. Mr. Waddell was a descendant of one of the oldest noble families of England and was a cousin of the Earl of Coventry who is the head of the ancestral house. He was born in this City and inherited great wealth, yet he passed through many vicissitudes, and experienced more of the ups and downs of life than usually have to be encountered by one man. From being a large land owner who at one time headed the list of owners of real estate in this City and occupying a residence on 5th Avenue which was known as 'Waddell's Castle,' Mr. Waddell suddenly became a compara- tively poor man * * * The most notable fact, however, perhaps after all, in his life, is his holding one office over 40 years; that of Register of Bankruptcy * * * , his appointment

dating back to 1841, at the time of his death. Mr. Waddell was gentleman of the old school, tall, stately and of commanding presence; he was a man of very temperate habits and of most genial and equable temper and to this is doubtless owing his longevity." (N. Y. Herald, June 9, 1884).
William Coventry H. Waddell married (first), January, 1829, Julia Anna Cobb, daughter of Lieut. Col. Lemuel Bowers and Susan (Farrand) Cobb, of Parsip- pany, New Jersey.
Lemuel Bowers Cobb was the son of Edward Cobb, of Parsippany, New Jersey, (and Elizabeth Bowers, daughter of Judge Lemuel Bowers, of Morris county, a Judge in Morris county from December 2, 1756) son of Ebenezer Cobb, of Par- sippany, New Jersey (and Mehitable Robinson, third generation from William Robinson, of Dorchester, Massachusetts, in 1635, and fourth generation from Benet Eliot, of Wasing, England, in America, 1631-see Boston Transcript, April 18, 1889), who came from Taunton, Massachusetts, son of Edward Cobb, of Taun- ton, son of Edward Cobb, of Taunton, son of Henry Cobb, born 1596, county Kent, England, and was in Plymouth, New England, 1629, Scituate, 1633, and afterwards of Barnstable, Massachusetts-see Davis' "Ancient Landmarks of Plymouth," Boston, 1899, also "Genealogical Notes Barnstable Families," Barn- stable, 1888, also Crayon's "Rockaway (N. J.) Records," Rockaway, New Jersey.
Susan Farrand was daughter of Ebenezer Farrand (and Rebecca Parritt), of Hanover township, Morris county, New Jersey, son of Ebenezer Farrand (and Rebecca Ward), of Hanover township, son of Samuel Farrand, of Newark, New Jersey, 1711, son of Nathaniel Farrand, of Milford, Connecticut, son of Nathaniel Farrand, of Milford, Connecticut, in 1645-see Farrand genealogy in "Robert Kitchell and his Descendants," New York, 1879.

J., the first private breeding kennel in America, and his entries of many prize winners (particularly pointers and setters), will be found of record among kennel notes from 1870 to 1890, including "Black Phil," "Champion Fan," and "Champion Seaford," pointers; also "Queen Alice," "Laverack Chief," "American Dan," and "Brigand Chief," setters; his kennels were later removed to Edinah, Mo., and Topeka, Kan .; he now lives at Parsippany, N. J., unm .;

Aug. 22, 1882, at Flushing, and was bur. at Woodlawn Cemetery ; his only child, Constance, was born after her father's death.
S. ALICE WADDELL, born Parsippany, New Jersey, September 26, 1834, was named for her maternal grandmother, Susan Farrand, although she early dropped the first name, except in its abbreviated form, and in legal documents. When about ten years of age, she removed with her father to Murray Hill, New York City, and except for a few years spent at Newburgh on the Hudson during the war, she lived in New York until her marriage in 1868. During this period she frequently spent long intervals at "The Corner," Parsippany, New Jersey, at the home of her ma- ternal uncle, Judge Cobb. She was married from her father's residence on the present Boulevard, then One Hundred and Forty-third street and Eleventh avenue, New York City, April 8, 1868, to George Washington Smith. She is mentioned in her father's will, as "my faithful daughter Susan Alice Smith, wife of George W. Smith, now residing at Parsippany, Morris County, N. J., in the precinct of Troy," and was made joint and equal inheritor with his surviving widow.
She was from girlhood a member of the Presbyterian Church. Of medium stature, with dark eyes and black hair, the latter of which she retained in large measure until within a few years before her death, she is said to have resembled, in appearance, her mother, of whom no portrait has been preserved. Chief among the traits of character which endear her memory to her family and friends were the strength and tenacity of her friendships and affections, and faithfulness in the discharge of duty. Her death occurred at Parsippany, New Jersey, December 26, 1898, after a long illness, and she was buried in the George W. Smith lot of the cemetery of that place.

S. Alice Waddell and George Washington Smith had children of whom the eldest is,
PHILIP H. WADDELL SMITH, born Hanover township, Morris county, New Jersey, January 5, 1869, now of Pittsburgh and Sewickley, Pennsylvania. He married Isabella Williamson MacLaren, May 28, 1903; they have the following children :
Alice Waddell;

(THE COVENTRY LINE).
WILLIAM COVENTRY, of the Island of St. Christopher (or St. Kitts), West Indies, and New York City (1715-1774), was the first of his line in America. Be- tween himself and the succession which would have made him the Earl of Coven- try and Viscount Deerhurst, there stood for many years but one man, namely, his father's next older brother, who on the failure of male heirs of Thomas Lord Coventry, Lord Keeper of the Great Seal in 1625, became on October 17, 1719, the Fifth Earl of Coventry.
The line originates with :
JOHN COVENTRY ( founder of the family), Sheriff and Lord Mayor of London in 1416 and 1425 respectively, and from whom lineally descended (see any Peer- age) :
THOMAS COVENTRY, born 1547, of Baliol College, Oxford, and Inner Temple, London, who married Margaret Jeffreys, and died December 12, 1606; they had three sons-Thomas (see below), William of Ridmarly, and Walter, ancestor to the present Earl as well as to the line of William of New York. The eldest son :
Thomas Lord Coventry, Lord Keeper of the Great Seal, b. 1578, was also of Baliol College, Oxford and Inner Temple, London. In the reign of Charles the First he attained and by common consent deserved in an exceptional degree, the highest dig- nities under the law in the gift of the King, when he was successively made Solicitor General, Attorney General, and later, in 1625, Lord Keeper of the Great Seal. On April 10, 1628, he was created a Baron by the title of Lord Coventry of Aylesborough (see Campbell's "Lives of the Chancellors of England").
The family later produced some notably able men, on whom their dignities and honors were bestowed for their services to the State, a somewhat exceptional basis of advancement under the Stuart Kings. Many, in such service ran athwart the plans and pleasures of their monarchs, and at times experienced the latter's displeasure, as when :
Sir John Coventry, K. B., the eldest son of the Lord Keeper by his second mar- riage, and a member of the Long Parliament, sneered in Parliament over the solicitude of King Charles for the welfare of his female players, and brought upon himself the King's displeasure in the shape of a slit nose, at the hands of Buckingham's bullies, Dec. 21, 1670. But he also identified his name with the "Coventry Act," which banished the offenders, and specifically took from the King the right to pardon them (Macauley's Hist. Eng. I, 152), and which made it a felony without benefit of clergy to maim or disfigure the person. (Keight- ley's Hist. Eng.) ;
Sir Henry Coventry, second son of the Lord Keeper by his second marriage, was Envoy Extraordinary to Sweden in 1664, Ambassador Extraordinary to Breda in 1667, for concluding peace with France, Denmark and the States General, and in 1672 was one of His Majesties principal Secretaries of State;
Sir William Coventry, youngest brother to the above, one of the Lords of the Admiralty under Charles II., and the shining hero of Samuel Pepys in the latter's diary, choose rather to return to private life "because he was too honest to engage in the designs of that reign" (Collin's Peerage IV., 165). H. B. Wheatly, in speaking of Sir William Coventry in his volume of Pepysiana, says : "He may be considered as the hero of its pages, for Pepys evidently held him in the most profound esteem, so that in a book where the characters of the actors are subjected to the most searching criticism, Coventry alone receives

only praise, * * * (He) must have been far removed from the ordinary poli- tician of his time * * *. It was Sir William Coventry who was the original "trimmer," the man who said that he "would sit upright and not overturn the boat by swaying on either side." * * * He and his brother for a time led the House of Commons, and Bishop Burnet describes him as the best speaker there. * * * It is said that he might have had any office he aspired to, but he turned a deaf ear to all overtures. * * * There is a singular fascination in Coventry's character, and he must ever be to the reader of the diary, after the writer him- self, the most interesting personality in the wonderful gallery of men and women there portrayed."
Thomas, fifth Lord Coventry, and first Earl Coventry, was advanced by King William April 26, 1697, "to the title and dignity Earl of Coventry and Viscount Deerhurst with limitation of those titles to William (afterwards Fifth Earl), Thomas and Henry his brothers (and their issue male), grandsons of Walter Coventry before mentioned, younger brother to the First Lord" (Collin's Peer- age IV., 167).
On male issue in the line of the Lord Keeper becoming extinct, the dignities eventually descended through the line of the third son of Thomas, born 1547 (male issue of William, second son of the latter being extinct ) namely :
WALTER COVENTRY, younger brother to Thomas Lord Coventry, Lord Keeper of the Great Seal in 1625, who had a son,
WALTER COVENTRY, married Anne Holcombe, of County Devon, and had four sons: Walter, died April 5, 1677; William, eventually fifth Earl of Coventry; Thomas, father of William of New York; and Henry, issue extinct 1753.
William, fifth Earl of Coventry and Viscount Deerhurst, inherited the title Oct. 27, 1719, on the failure of heirs male of the Lord Keeper's line. He was succeeded by George William, sixth Earl, March 18, 1750-1, who m. March 5, 1752, Maria, eldest dau. John Gunning, Esq., and sister to Elizabeth Duchess, of Hamilton and Argyle, both celebrated as the beautiful Gunning sisters. The honors are now enjoyed by :
George William, tenth Earl, who succeeded on the death of his father. Their chief seat is at Croome-d'Abitot in Worcestershire.
THOMAS COVENTRY, of Greenwich, county Kent, Esq. (brother to William Co- ventry, fifth Earl Coventry), and son of Walter, the son of Walter, the youngest brother of Thomas Lord Coventry, Lord Keeper of the Great Seal, 1625, died 1751, will dated July 14, 1750, proved July 1, 1752; recorded P. C. C. 149 Bettes- worth mentions "lands held of the Manor of Chalgrove, Roke and Berwick, county Oxon," bequeaths to daughter, Elizabeth, contents of his house at Greenwich "and whatsoever belongs to me"; he was buried at Greenwich. He married (first ) Mary, daughter and heir of John Green, of Millend, parish of Hambleton, county of Bucks, Esq., by whom he had :
WILLIAM COVENTRY, eldest son, b. April 10, 1715 (O. S.); of whom later ;
Thomas Coventry, second son, counsellor at law; director South Sea Company; M. P for Bridport, Dorset. He m. Margaret, dau. Thomas Savage, Elmly Castle, Wor- cestershire, Esq .;
Mary, m. (first) Henry Barker, of Chiswick, in Middlesex, Esq., and (second) Philip Bearcroft, D. D., master of the Charter-house;
Elizabeth, d. unm .; sole executrix of her father's will;
Judith m. James Hawkins (W. C.'s will) ; Mary.
Thomas Coventry married (second) Gratia Maria, who died December 17, 1726, aged 32, daughter of Rev. Thomas Brown, of Polston, County Wilts, by whom he had :
Rev. Francis Coventry, d. unm .;
821
WADDELL-SMITH
George, m. - dau. William Kynafton. He was an officer in First Regiment Foot- guards, serving in America in 1761, when with others he petitioned the government of the province of New York for a grant of land in what was later Herkimer co. (Cal. Land Papers Prov. of N. Y.) ; mentioned in his father's will as his youngest son;
Anne;
Arabella, m. - Torrent, and d. 1762;
Thomas Coventry married (third) Jane, daughter of John Gratwick, county Sussex, Esq., by whom he had an only child:
Jane.
WILLIAM COVENTRY, born April 10, 1715 (O. S.) was at St. Kitts (St. Christo- pher ), West Indies (Cal. Hist. MSS. LXXXIX, 38), as early as August 28, 1739, when he married there Elizabeth Hart (born January 29, 1722 (O. S.), and died New York City, August 22, 1803. He later removed his family to New York and entered into the activities of the place as one of the principal merchants of the city (N. Y. Gazette, No. 569, December 24, 1753).
He is mentioned in his father's will as "Gullielmus Franciscus Walterus Co- ventry," to whom he bequeaths "my silver cup cover and large salver which I promised him in my life time." He had apparently been a resident of New York for sometime prior to 1752, for in that year he sold his residence, fronting on Dock and Duke streets, to John Waddell, for £2500 (N. Y. Gazette, No. 428, also J. W.'s Inventory), still continuing his residence, however, at New York and pur- chasing May 1, 1753, from estate of John Pintard, for £1400, a house and lot lying between the same streets (Liber 33, p. 523, of Deeds, New York City).
He was foreman of the grand jury which met in 1754 to consider the disorders arising from a reduction in the value of copper currency (N. Y. Gazette, No. 573), adopted by the principal merchants of the city in the preceding year (N. Y. Gazette, No. 569). In addition to his interests as a merchant in New York he retained his interest at St. Christopher, for in 1755, after a prohibition on such commerce had been laid by the authorities as a means of preventing supplies from reaching the French, he petitions Gov. Hardy for special permission to clear for St. Christopher, a vessel already partly ladened before the restriction became effec- tive (Cal. Hist. MSS. N. Y. LXXXI, 146). He was apparently concerned in the measures taken to defend New York from the attacks of the French, for on August 6, 1755, a warrant was issued by Lieutenant-Governor DeLancey, author- izing John Cruger, mayor of the city of New York, William Coventry, Henry Cuylor, Jr., and Anthony Ten Eyck, merchants, to impress horses, men, sloops, pilots, provisions, etc., for the use of the troops (Cal. Hist. MSS. N. Y. LXXXIV, 140). On August 22, 1757, he advertises :
"A Parcell of muskets to be sold by wholesale or retail. Inquire of Wm. Coventry, Esq., in Dock Street." (Gaine's N. Y. Mercury, No. 262)
He so acceptably filled the offices of "Alderman from the Dock Ward," in 1756- 57 and 1758, as to be presented with an eulogistic and appreciative address by the Freeman and Freeholders of his ward, on the occasion of his resignation prepara- tory to sailing for St. Christopher, which he did October 21, 1758 (Gaine's N. Y. Mercury, No. 324). Following the trip to St. Christopher, William Coventry apparently returned to New York, for on December 10, 1760, he is referred to as "William Coventry of New York, merchant, formerly of the Island of St. Chris-
822
WADDELL-SMITH
topher," in a deposition he then made regarding the character of Allen Popham, also a former resident of St. Christopher. He was in St. Christopher at the time of his death, which occurred April 25, 1774.
William Coventry and Elizabeth (Hart) Coventry had issue (the following record, except as noted, being taken from a MSS. record of Coventry Genealogy in the hand of William Coventry H. Waddell, now among Waddell MSS. of P. H. W. S.) :
Sarah, m. Capt. Christopher Miller, and left descendants living, New York City; MARY, b. July 15, 1743; of whom later;

He served with ability in the general hospital in Penna., during the Revolution, as certified to by Malachi Treat, Physician Gen- eral of Northern Dept. of Continental Army on the occasion when in 1794 he memorial- ized the government for land in recognition of his services. (Cal. Land Papers, N. Y., LVII., p. 78). Purchased, July 25, 1794, from Trinity Church, New York, lot 23, on Greenwich St., for £1200 (Liber 50, p. 257, of Deeds, New York City). He d. unm. and was bur. at Trinity Church, New York, June 17, 1812 (Trinity Church Records) ; Susannah, following the death of her sister, Ann, above, she also m. Richard Grant; they resided in London, and had several daughters and a son named George.
