Simon Reichard, son of George Reichard. and father of William H. Reichard, whose name heads this sketch, was born near Reading, Penn- sylvania, August 13, 1832. He was reared at East Penn, educated in the public schools, and learned the trade of forgeman. When the business of wire drawing was in its infancy he was among the first in this country to learn that trade. Fisher Hazard had begun in a small way the manufacture of wire rope in 1848, and after com- pleting his trade in 1858 Mr. Reichard took a po- sition with Mr. Hazard, and in 1863 became su- perintendent of the business at Mauch Chunk, re- maining there until 1885, when part of the busi- ness was removed to Wilkes-Barre, and the pres- ent plant was built, after which he retired from active pursuits. He was a Republican in poli- tics, and a councilman at Mauch Chunk for four terms, and was a man well known and highly re- spected in that section. He married Rebecca Romig. a native of Montgomery county. Penn- sylvania, and a representative of an early German family who landed in New York in 1625. Her father. Daniel Romig, was a farmer and came from Kutztown to Carbon county, where he spent the remainder of his life, dying at the age of eighty-seven years. Mr. and Mrs. Reichard had eleven children, seven of whom are still living : William Henry, mentioned hereinafter : Mrs. Will Geidner, residing in Wilkes-Barre; Alfred A .. who is employed by his brother, William Henry : Sarah, wife of William H. Rex, and they reside at Mauch Chunk; Mrs. Joseph Walker,

of Wilkes-Barre; Morris A., employed as night foreman of the Hazard Manufacturing Company ; Clemson, also connected with the same concern. The father of these children died in 1890, aged fifty-seven years, and the mother also died at the same age, their deaths being but five weeks apart.
William H. Reichard was born in East Penn, Carbon county, Pennsylvania, July 10, 1851. He attended the public schools adjacent to his home, and from an early age foresaw that an education would be one of the prime factors in his future career, and, therefore, although working hard during the day prepared himself by attending the night school for four years, after which he en- tered the high school at Mauch Chunk and there completed his studies. Under the instruction of his father he carefully mastered all of the various details connected with the manufacture of wire rope, particularly that part known as "wire draw- ing," in which he became an expert. At this time there were only four "wire drawers" em- ployed by his father, and in all only eleven men. He gave careful attention to every detail, won the confidence of his employer, and was promoted to the position of foreman in 1880. The Hazard Manufacturing Company was formed in 1876, and purchased the interest of Fisher Hazard, and in 1880 part of the wire drawing department was removed to Wilkes-Barre, and Mr. Reichard came here to take charge of the same. From that time the business has constantly increased until now (1905) he has under his supervision about one hundred and seventy-five men. All the latest im- proved machinery is used by this company, and the output from his department is today ( 1906) as much in a week as it was in a year when he began the business forty-five years ago. With one exception he is the only man left in the em- ploy of the concern who began with it when he did, and it is hardly presuming too much to say that there are probably not ten men in the United States who have remained with one concern as long as Mr. Reichard has been with this one.
Mr. Reichard has taken an active interest in the various social and fraternal organizations of his adopted city. He is a lover of the rod and gun, and president of the Wilkes-Barre Rod and Gun Club. He is also a member of the Heptas- ophs, and No. I Fire Engine Company of Wilkes- Barre. In addition to these he has taken con- siderable interest in Masonry. In 1882 he joined Landmark Lodge, No. 442, Free and Accepted Masons, passed the chairs, and served as worship- ful master in 1897. In 1892 he joined Shekinalı Chapter. No. 182, Royal Arch Masons, and is now (1906) serving as king. He was made a mem-
ber of Mount Horeb Council, No. 34, Royal and Select Masters, in 1900, and ( 1905) served as thrice illustrious grand master. He was knighted in Dieu Le Vent Commandery, No. 45, Knights Templar, in 1892, and became eminent com- mander in 1901 and 1902. In 1900 he was made a thirty-second degree Mason in Scranton Con- sistory in the valley of Scranton, and served as royal prince master of the fifteenth and sixteenth degrees in 1902. The above will show the active work which he has done in Masonic circles, and the fidelity that has characterized his labor in the past is a matter of pleasure to members of the various bodies, and it is fair to presume that higher honors are in store for him in the near fu- ture. When Irem Temple. A. A. O. N. M. S., was instituted at the Oasis of Wilkes-Barre, he traveled to the hot sands.
While in no sense a politician, Mr. Reichard has felt that his duty requires him to do what he can to advance the interest of the city, and in 1898 he accepted a nomination and was elected to the city council, being the first councilman elected in the eleventh ward under third-class city laws. Two months later he was elected joint chairman of the fire committee, and served as such for two years, at the end of which time he was re-elected to the select council and was elected president of that body, which position hie still holds. By virtue of this office he is also presi- dent and director of the Fire Relief Association of Wilkes-Barre. A Republican in politics, he al- ways endeavors to secure the best government possible for the people, regardless of party, and is ever keenly alive to everything which concerns the well-being of his city, state and nation.
Mr. Reichard was married to Anna E. Will- iams in 1872. She was born in Odessa, Dela- ware, daughter of George E. and Sarah A. (Bar- low) Williams, of Mauch Chunk, Pennsylvania, the former named a native of Philadelphia. Mrs. Reichard comes of an old and highly influential family which has been traced back to the "May- flower," many members having occupied positions of prominence in the affairs of both church and state. Two members of this family served in congress in the early part of the eighteenth cen- tury, one being Hon. Joseph Flanigan, of Phila- delphia, Pennsylvania, and the other Hon. John Miller. Another member of the family was a minister of the Methodist denomination, and sev- eral others have taken a prominent part in the af- fairs of the Moravian denomination. Her great- grandfather, George Conway, was the owner of a large farm on the banks of the Delaware river, near Swedesboro, New Jersey. He was an Epis-

copalian, and in the old Episcopal Church records are to be found the names and dates of baptism of all his children. Her grandfather, Thomas A. Williams, born on the high seas, was a soldier of the war of 1812, and during this time wrote a number of letters to his wife, of a very interesting character, which are now preserved in the archives of the Pennsylvania Historical Society. Her father, George E. Williams, married Sarah A. Barlow, daughter of Thomas A. Barlow and Ann (Briton) Barlow. Mrs. Reichard was one of ten children, five of whom are living: Sally, wife of John W. Lee, of Baltimore, Maryland ; Thomas A., owner of a large ranch in Texas, and father of two sons, one a lawyer and one a physi- cian ; Mrs. Henry Fullnier, of Pittsburg, Penn- sylvania ; Silviana, wife of George Hartley, of Atlantic City, New Jersey ; and Mrs. Robert Nat- tress, of Mauch Chunk. Mr. and Mrs. Williams are deceased, and their remains are interred at Mauch Chunk. Mrs. Reichard is a cousin of the well-known and prominent attorney of Phila- delphia, Thomas A. Barlow.
Mr. and Mrs. Reichard have two chidren : Nettie E., born April 13, 1874, married Frank Craig, and they are the parents of two children : Warren William, born February 21, 1900; and Anna Christine, born March 24, 1905; they re- side at No. 64 Humphreys Avenue, Bayonne, New Jersey. S. Warren, born June 8, 1878, now a practicing physician of Wilkes-Barre, in which city he resides and where he enjoys a large prac- tice. He is serving as poor director of the city of Wilkes-Barre, and examiner of the Wyoming Valley Traction Company. He married Marie Bossert, and they are the parents of one child, William H. Reichard, Jr. (See sketch).

FREDERICK VANDERVEER ROCKA- FELLOW. The name Rockefeller means "rock" and "field," and is derived from the Norman- French Roquefeuille. The ancestral castle is at Lanquedoc, France. The Rockafellow family, of which the late Frederick V. Rockafellow, of Wilkes-Barre, was a member, traces its ancestry to Peter Rockafeller, who was naturalized July, 1730, signed "Articles of Order and Discipline" adopted at the dedication of the Calvinistic High Dutch Church at Ringoes, New Jersey. Decem- ber 1. 1749, and whose will, probated December 6, 1763, exempts the graveyard at Ringoes. Wil- liam Rockefeller, son of Peter, was the father of a son Andrew, and he in turn was the father of Christopher Rockafeller, father of Ferdinand V. Rockafellow. William Rockefeller and Jacob
Vasseler Jacobus Winterstein, great-grandfathers of Ferdinand V. Rockafellow, served in the revo- lutionary war.
Ferdinand Vanderveer Rockafellow, born at Somerville, New Jersey, September 17, 1826, died at Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, August 17, 1905. He came to Wilkes-Barre, September 17, 1855, was clerk in C. B. Fisher's store four years, cashier in the bank of Charles B. Drake two years, and partner with A. H. Emley in the banking business until 1869, when he established a bank of his own, and for years was the oldest living banker in Wilkes-Barre. He served in the city council, was school director, treasurer of the borough of Wilkes-Barre four years, and city treasurer twenty years. July 7, 1850, he married Julia Jane Ayres, of Bound Brook, New Jersey. They have two children: Charles Frederick, and Grace Ferdinand.
Julia Jane ( Ayres) Rockafellow, wife of Fer- dinand V. Rockafellow, traces ancestry on her father's side (Ayres) back to 1066, when the name Eyre (Air) was given by William the Con- queror to one of his followers (Truelove) for a noble deed at the battle of Hastings. After the battle he gave him lands in Derby, and a crest. She is the daughter of Sylvanus Ayres, son of Moses, son of Jonathan, son of Nathaniel, son of John, son of Obadiah, son of John, born in New- berry, England, 1592, who with others came to the Massachusetts colony about 1630, and settled permanently at Haverhill, Massachusetts, where he died in 1657. The homestead facing the Mer- rimac river has since been continuously occupied by his descendants. The late Captain John Ayres . was its last owner. In 1,665 Obadiah, youngest son of the emigrant John, with his father-in-law, John Pike, ancestor of General Zebulon Mont- gomery Pike, and others from Massachusetts, set- tled the six miles square now comprising the town of Woodbridge, New Jersey, which they named in honor of their pastor. John, son of Obadiah, with others settled Basking Ridge, New Jersey, in 1717. In 1721 John Ayres conveyed lands to trustees on which the church was built, and on which the present church stands. Nath- aniel Ayres, son of John, was judge of common pleas, Somerset county, New Jersey, 1779-80-81. Captain Jacob Smalley, Caleb Brokaw, and John Fisher, great-grandfathers of Julia Jane (Ayres) Rockafellow, served in the Revolutionary war.
Julia Jane (Ayres) Rockafellow is a great- great-granddaughter of Hendrick Fisher, born in Holland, 1697, died at Bound Brook, New Jer- sey, 1779. He was the first president of old Queens College (now Rutgers), member of the

colonial assembly of New Jersey from 1745 to 1775. represented New Jersey in the congress called by Massachusetts and Rhode Island which met in New York from 1765 until the Declara- tion of Independence was issued, July 4, 1776, president of the important provincial congress which met at Trenton in May, 1775 ; chairman of the committee of safety; chairman of the com- mittee of grievances which in 1775 sent to his Majesty King George a petition asking for a re- dress of the "Grievances under which the Colon- ies are now laboring." He was chairman of the standing committee of correspondence and in- quiry, whose duty was to obtain the earliest possible intelligence of all acts and resolutions of the parliament of Great Britain that might affect the colonies. The committee on grievances, of which he was elected chairman, January 16, 1774, presented a report to the assembly which the house adopted, rehearsing the following griev- ances, which significantly enough were actually embodied afterward in Jefferson's Declaration of Independence: "A standing army kept in the colonies without their consent; Assemblies in- juriously dissolved; Commerce burdened with restrictions ; heavy duties imposed by Parliament ; trial by jury abolished : enormous forfeitures for slight offences ; vexatious informers exempted from paying damages; trial in England for of- fences committed in America : deprivation of trial "by peers, etc., etc. These were no doubt classi- fied and written by Hendrick Fisher, and it is a compliment to his honored memory that the great Jefferson found them accurately and concisely enough stated to embody them in his Declar- ation.

PETTEBONE. The Pettebone family of the Wyoming Vallev has long been there resident, and its record fully justifies the remarks made by one of its representatives (Jacob S. Pette- bone) at a recent family reunion : "The family took an active part in the struggle for freedom. in which struggle many of them lost their lives. Since that time, I am happy to say. the history of the family has been, on the whole, equally hon- orable." It is to be here noted that the Wyoming Valley branch of the family, about 1850, changed the family name from its original form of Petti- bone to that of Pettebone.
John Pettibone, the founder of the family in America, was a native of France, and among those Huguenots who forsook their active land to escane religious persecution. He took refuge in the British Isles, where he allied himself with the royalists, thus incurring the displeasure of Crom-
well and Parliament, and he emigrated to Amer- ica at some time between 1640 and 1650. His name appears as a freeman at Windsor, Connec- ticut, in 1658. In 1669 he was among the first settlers at Simsbury, Connecticut, where he died, July 15, 1713, his wife having died one week be- fore. He married at Windsor, February 16, 1664, Saralı, daughter of Bigot Eggleston. They were the parents of nine children: John, born June 15, 1665. Sarah, born September 24, 1667. Stephen, born October 3, 1669; see forward. Samuel, born September 2, 1672; died February II. 1747. Rebecca, born March 9, 1675; died October 13. 1731. Henry, born June 20, 1677. Ann, born March II, 1679. Benjamin, born May 28, 1682; died March 12, 1705. Joseph, born March 11, 1688; died September 14, 1762.

Oliver, born May 13, 1762; died March 17, 1832.
Noah Pettebone, Sr., came to Wyoming Val- ley from Simsbury, Connecticut. in 1769, bring- ing with him his three sons, his first wife having previously died. He and his son Oliver were in Forty Fort at the time of the Wyoming massacre, July 3. 1778. His son Noah was killed in that dreadful butchery, leaving a widow (Lucy Scott) but no children. Stephen, the second son, at the time of the massacre was in Sullivan's army and aided to drive the Indians out of the valley. Re- turning late in the fall, he was honorably dis- charged from the army, and remained with his father until he was killed by Indians. With six others he was waylaid at a barn on the west side of the river. between Kingston and Wilkes-Barre.
The daughters all married in Connecticut, and subsequently settled in the Lackawanna Valley, in the neighborhood where is now the city of Scranton. In 1772 Noah Pettebone, Sr., bought meadow lot No. 22 of Aziel Bucks, and was there living at the time of the Wyoming massacre. After the death of his second wife he returned to

his daughters, who were married and living in New England. He subsequently returned to the valley, where he died on March 25, 1791.
Oliver (4) youngest child of Noah, Sr., and Huldah (Williams) Pettebone, was in Forty Fort at the time of the massacre. He counted the men as they went out, and made the number 382. With Isaac Legget he left the valley the second day after the battle, going to Amenia, Dutchess county, New York, where, December 21, 1783, he married Martha, a daughter of Dr. Barnabas Paine; she was born July 14, 1763. Oliver Pettebone settled at Livingston Manor, where three of his children were born. He re- turned to the valley in April, 1788, and bought lands adjoining his father, and there ten more children were born, all of whom (except two who died young, married and reared families whose descendants may now be found in nearly every state in the union.
