He has long been an active member of the Merchants' Association of New York, and was its president from 1908 to 1913. While the weight of years is upon him, they have not diminished the vigor of his mind, nor the value of his executive serv- ice to the great business with which he has been connected from its foundation and of which he is the cornerstone and chief pillar. His clubs are the Century, University, Engineers and Hardware of New York, and the St. Anthony of Phila- delphia, and he is an interested member of the Pennsylvania Society.
Mr. Towne married, in 1868, Cora E., daughter of John P. White, of Philadel- phia, and has had two sons, John Henry, who is living, and Frederick Tallmadge, who died in 1906. Since 1892 his resi- dence has been in New York City, his present home being No. 121 Madison avenue.
CRARY, Nathan B., Coal Operator, Man of Affairs.
At the age of eighty-one years, Nathan Beach Crary passed from earthly scenes, after a life of exceptional usefulness and honor. Beach Grove, his birthplace, was named, owned and occupied by his fam- ily prior to the American Revolution, and a portion of the original estate he owned until a short time before his death. At a very early age he assumed the manage- ment of the family farm lands, and also the adjoining lands at Beach Grove, leased from the Beach heirs (of whom he was one) and managed all, though very young to assume such responsibil- ity. This love of the soil never left him, but he ever retained a lively interest in matters agricultural and during his later years, although immersed in important business affairs, his farms, whether it was the one in Illinois or the two in Penn- sylvania, were pet hobbies.
Of Puritan stock and a descendant of illustrious ancestors, like them, he was always fearless in his convictions of right. He was of a most benevolent nature, ready to aid the suffering and needy and trying always to help others to help themselves. He was staunch in his friendships -in his business relations ; what is so rare, they nearly always de- veloped into fast friendships, frequently friendships of generations. One of these, a much younger man than Mr. Crary, in speaking of that quality and of others pos- sessed by him, said, "He was a prince among men-so good and so noble." He was most unostentatious and unassum- ing and it was said of him on another occasion, that he would have succeeded in anything he undertook, so sound was his judgment, so wonderful his powers of discernment. His aim in life was to live according to Micah 6:8, "He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good, and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with thy God."
He was a lineal descendant of Peter Crary, a Scotchman who first settled in Boston, going thence in 1663 to New London, Connecticut, of which town he was one of the patentees. There is a family tradition, that the name Crary during the time of Robert Bruce, of Scot- land, was MacQuarrie, of the Clan Mac- Quarrie, descended from the first King of Scotland, King Alpin. Peter and John, brothers, came to this country together from their home, Argylshire, Scotland, John settling in Boston, Peter going to Connecticut. One dropped the Mac from his name and the other brother retained it. Peter Crary settled in the town of Groton, New London county, and on December 31, 1677, married Christobel, daughter of Captain John and Hannah (Lake) Gal- lup. (See Gallup forward). Peter Crary, the founder, died at Groton in 1708. Chil-

(The Gallup Line).
John Gallup, the ancestor of most of the name in this country, came to Amer- ica from the parish of Mosterne, County Dorset, England, in the year 1630. He was the son of John Gallup, who married Crabbe, and the grandson of Thomas and Agnes (Watkins) Gallup, of North Bowood and Strode, whose de- scendants yet own and occupy the Man- ors of Strode. John Gallup married Christobel, whose last name does not ap-
pear; he sailed March 20, 1630, in the ship "Mary and John," arriving at Nan- tucket, May 30, following. He was a skillful mariner, and for some time re- sided in Boston, an island in the harbor yet bearing his name. He was always known as Captain John Gallup. He won colonial and later national fame through his successful fight with the Indians off Block Island, called the first naval battle fought on the Atlantic coast. Captain John and his wife Christobel both died in Boston, he in 1649, she on July 27, 1655. Their wills are among the earliest recorded.
Captain John (2) Gallup, son of Cap- tain John and Christobel Gallup, was born in England, about 1615, and came to America with his mother, two broth- ers and sister, in the ship "Griffith," ar- riving in Boston, September 4, 1633. He moved from Boston to Taunton, Massa- chusetts, in 1640, there remaining until 1651, when he moved to Connecticut. He first settled at New London, but in 1654 at what is now Stonington, on a grant of land given him by that town in 1653 in recognition of the distinguished services rendered by himself and his father in the Pequot war. When King Philip's war broke out, although he was sixty years of age, he volunteered his services and fell at the Great Swamp fight with the Narra- gansetts, December 19, 1676, one of the six captains who that memorable day gave up their lives, winning a complete victory, but at a fearful sacrifice of life on both sides. He represented the town at the General Court in 1665 and 1667, and was also an Indian interpreter. He married, in 1643, Hannah Lake, born in England, who came to America with her mother, Mrs. Margaret Lake, in the ship "Abigail," October 6, 1635 Mrs. Mar- garet Lake was a sister of the wife of Governor Winthrop.

Joseph Stanton, born January, 1668, mar- ried, July 18, 1696, Margaret Chese- brough, a daughter of Nathaniel Chese- brough and his wife, Hannah Denison, the latter a daughter of Captain George Denison. We learn from the records of Massachusetts and Connecticut that Cap- tain George Denison, of Cromwell's army, was not only distinguished as a civilian, but became the most distinguished soldier of Connecticut in her early settlement, except Major John Mason. Zerviah Stan- ton Mason was a granddaughter of Cap- tain John Stanton and his wife, Hannah Thompson, a sister of Reverend William Thompson. Captain John was a son of Thomas Stanton, born in England, whose mother, Katherine Washington, was a lineal descendant of Sir Lawrence Wash- ington, of Sulgrave Manor, England, the ancestor of George Washington. Thomas Stanton first located in Virginia, later settling in Connecticut, where he founded the town of Stonington. He married, in 1637, Anna, daughter of Dr. Thomas and Dorothy Lord. Dr. Thomas Lord, born in England, in 1585, came to America with his wife, Dorothy (whom he mar- ried in 1610), in the ship "Elizabeth and Ann," arriving April 28, 1635. Dr. Lord was given the first medical license issued in New England colonies at Hartford, Connecticut, June 30, 1652. His wife died in 1676, aged eighty-seven years. She sealed her will with the arms of the Lord family "Ar. on a fess gu. between three cinque foils az. a hind pass. between two pheons or."
From such illustrious ancestors came Nathan Beach Crary, born at Beach Grove, Pennsylvania, August 15, 1830, died at Shickshinny, Pennsylvania, February 24, 19II. Beach Grove was a part of the estate of Nathan Beach, grandfather of Mr. Crary, who was one of the pioneers of the Wyoming Valley and a soldier of
the Revolution, enlisting when but fifteen years of age. A full account of his career is given in Charles Miner's "History of the Wyoming Valley", wherein Mr. Miner states that Mr. Beach's account of the surrender of Cornwallis is more graphic than any historian. Mr. Beach and Mr. Miner were colleagues in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives which met at Lancaster in the year 1807. It was during the Revolution that General Washington advised the youthful Nathan Beach to acquire all the lands possible in the Wyoming Valley, that some day they would be valuable. This advice was fol- lowed by Nathan Beach, who later be- came one of the largest land owners of Luzerne county. He was one of the number who witnessed the burning of the first anthracite coal in the Jesse Fell hickory grate at the tavern on Northamp- ton street, Wilkes-Barre, 1808, which burning meant so much to the early owners of the Wyoming Valley, and on which event the Wyoming Historical So- ciety was organized to commemorate. Nathan Beach was for many years with Tench Coxe, they owning and opening coal lands in the Hazelton and Beaver Meadow district. At this period of coal development, the coal was loaded in wagons and hauled by oxen to arks and shipped by canal to the cities. A number of years prior to Mr. Beach's death he sold his interests in the partnership to Mr. Coxe. Mr. Ario Pardee was employed by Mr. Beach as engineer to survey and locate his lands in that region. In 1838- 41, Mr. Beach sold to Mr. Newbold, of Philadelphia, the tract of coal land formed into the Sugar Loaf Coal Company, which afterward became known as Diamond Coal Company. Mr. Beach owned and opened the Mocanaqua and Shickshinny coal lands, selling the former to Carey and Hart, of Philadelphia, and retaining

ENCYCLOPEDIA OF BIOGRAPHY
the Shickshinny mines, which his grand- son, Nathan Beach Crary, after complet- ing his years of school work, etc., leased from the other heirs and successfully mined, becoming a prominent merchant and coal operator of his section. A point of interest in connection with the Shick- shinny mines, operated by Mr. Crary, is, that Mr. Crary's brother, Dr. Darwin Crary, in 1844, is said to have invented the first inclined plane for the purpose of shooting coal from the mountain to the valley, making shipment much easier than the plan in use. These mines Mr. Crary finally sold to the Salem Coal Com- pany.
Mr. Crary was very charitable and public-spirited. A short time prior to his death, he presented to the borough of Shickshinny a park, to be known as Crary Park, to be used as a recreation ground by all, but to be governed by the strictest rules regarding temperance and sobriety. He was not a member of any church, but was a "Friend" in his religious convic- tions. In 1858, Mr. and Mrs. Crary founded the first Sunday school in Shick- shinny, Mr. Crary being superintendent, and Mrs. Crary the first and only teacher for a time. The circumstances attending the founding of this school are well re- membered by many now living. In poli- tics he was a Republican. He was a life member of the Wyoming Valley Histori- cal and Genealogical Society of Wilkes- Barre. He promoted the building of the Union turnpike in 1875, and was presi- dent of the company owning it ; was vice- president of the Shickshinny Tube Works ; filled the different offces of burgess, school director, etc., etc., and engaged in everything that promoted the interests of the town, or its welfare, giving freely of his substance, his wisdom and of his sound business ability. In 1857, he with three others, plotted and laid out the
town of Shickshinny. The site of the town was originally the Cist farm, owned by the Cist family of Wilkes-Barre. In 1861 the town was incorporated a borough, and at that time Mr. Crary established a mercantile business there, which he continued until 1906, when he sold to the Shickshinny Store Company. He was a man of strict integrity, upright and honorable in all things.
Mr. Crary, married in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, January 23, 1860, Miranda Lee Overton, born in Kingston township, Luzerne county, Pennsylvania, March 29, 1841, died August 6, 1907. She was a woman of rare intellect and character, and interested in every good work. It was said of her, "her life was one of per- petual uplift." The mantle of life which enveloped her is a coveted garment for any and everyone. She was a daughter of Henry Overton, born in Southold, Long Island, and his wife, Sarah Jane (Wood) Overton, born in Goshen, New York. Mrs. Crary was educated at Wyo- ming Seminary, Kingston, Pennsylvania, and at the Presbyterian Institute at Wilkes-Barre, the latter now being known as the Wilkes-Barre Institute.
Children of Nathan Beach and Miranda Lee (Overton) Crary: I. John Willard Crary, died in 1884. 2. Anne Overton Crary, married H. W. Glover, of Detroit, Michigan, June 28, 1894, and they have children as follows: Nathan Beach Crary Glover, Henry Willis Glover, Paul Over- ton Glover, Natalie Beach Glover. 3. Martha Lenna Crary. 4. Minnie Crary, died aged nine. 5. Sara Wood Crary. 6. Natalie Beach Crary.
Mrs. Crary had also a most illustrious ancestry of whom the following are a few.
