Major Isaac Craig's Letter-books.
A gentleman S days from Marietta informs me that Major Zeiglar had arrived there on his way to Philadelphia to resign : that Capt. Haskel had also arrived there and that Lieut. Howe had quarreled with the inhabitants and was gone to Galliopolis.
I observe that the greater part of the powder now forwarded at this post is cannon powder: as there is no marks on the casks by which the different kinds can be distinguished. I have been under the necessity of opening several of them : they cer- tainly ought to have been marked when filled. On opening a box marked Musket Flints. I find them a large sort of rifle flints, and two small for muskets, therefore I have very few musket flints.
I have just heard that the 50 rifles from Lancaster will reach this place on the 19th, and as Lieut. Jeffers will certainly be here by the return of the Provision boat which must be in eight days from this date, I presume it will be unnecessay to send them to Fort Franklin.
I have paid Capt. Crawford one thousand dollars. and shall transmit his receipt by the next post. He is to call on Capt. Biggs to know whether he accepts or declines his appointment.

VAN REED FAMILY.
BY MORTON L. MONTGOMERY.
Two brothers, Jacob and Henry Van Reed, whilst compara- tively young. emigrated from Holland to this country, having landed at the port of Philadelphia about the year 1740. Jacob Van Reed settled at once permanently in Philadelphia county. Soon after his arrival he hired out with a person named Robe- son, who carried on the milling business along the Wissahickon on the Ridge Road. Under him he learned the trade of miller. After serving out his allotted time, he left and located in the city of Philadelphia, where he engaged in the mercantile busi- ness, and became a leading merchant. He married a daughter of an influential family there, and died some years afterward. leaving one son. Jacob, and several daughters. The son died unmarried ; but the daughters married, and some of their children and grandchildren are still living at Philadelphia and elsewhere in this country. One of the daughters, Elizabeth. married Henry Knouse, Sr., of Exeter township, Berks county. He at one time (from 1788 to 1792) owned the " Boone Mill Property," in that township, which is located on the Lime Kiln creek, a branch of the Monocacy. near the line dividing the town- ship from Oley, within half a mile from the " Old Quaker Meet- ing House," and a short distance from the village of Stonersville. . In 1792, he and his wife sold this mill property and nearly fifty acres of land to Jacob Van Reed, his brother-in-law, who is ' described in the deed as single and residing at the same place. no doubt with them. After owning it seventeen years, he, in - 1809, (described in the deed as residing then in Philadelphia. ~ and still single,) sold it to Henry Knouse, called the younger: - and to this day it is in the Knouse family, and known as the "Knouse Mill." At this mill Knouse carried on the milling business till his decease in 1854, and by his will it passed to his daughter Lydia, (now the widow of Jolm H. Bechtel, deceased, ) who is still living there with her son-in-law, Henry Marquart. .

Van Reed Family.
HENRY VAN REED. the progenitor of all the persons bear- ing the name in this country, was born in Holland, March 10, 1722, (O. S.) Asalready mentioned, he, in company with his brother Jacob, emigrated to this country whilst comparatively young, and landed at Philadelphia about the year 1740. Soon after landing he hired out upon a farm-as was then custom- ary with young men who came into the country poor-in the lower section of what is now Montgomery county, near the Skippack creek. There he continued for some years at farm- ing, and whilst thus engaged exercised great economy and accumulated considerable means. About the year 1745, he married a Miss Agnes Vanderslice, of Philadelphia. Five years afterwards (May 20, 1750) he bought a farm of 150 acres in the extreme north-eastern section of Amity township. Berks county, and there, about the time of this purchase, he and his wife settled permanently. The county of Berks was erected in 1752, and in the first assessment of taxpayers of Amity township for that year his name appears. From various title papers it is apparent that he, in 1760, was possessed of considera- ble real estate. His occupation was farming ; and at this he was engaged continuously till his decease, in 1792, a period of forty years. He evidently managed his business affairs with shrewdness and economy, for at his death he left a considera- ble property, which he directed in his will to be distributed in certain proportions to his widow and children. In a business point of view he manifested the natural and native traits of the Dutch character. The Dutch everywhere are recognized as possessing great thrift; and their general success in the world and accumulation of wealth are not only traditional but his- torical. And these Dutch characteristics have been transmit- ted through the Van Reeds from generation to generation to the present day.
In 1767 his wife died. Her remains lie buried in the Chestnut Hill Cemetery, Philadelphia. In 1769 he married a Miss HEIGHSTAND, (or Hiestand.) from Germantown. They lived together on the same farm till his decease. He died Oc- tober 27, 1790, aged over sixty-eight years. His widow sur- vived him fifteen years, having lived during this time on the

homestead. She died May 25, 1805, aged over eighty-two years. They were buried in the old part of the Amity Church cemetery. The places are marked by appropriate head-stones. There were no children from the second marriage. All the children were from the first marriage. They were:

March 15, 1758; located for a while in Cumru township until after the death of his father, when he settled permanently on the homestead in Amity township, it having been devised to him subject to the pay- ment of certain legacies. John, the elder son, located in Cumru township, that part being now in Spring township, on the eastern side of Cacoosing creek, about half a mile from its con- fluence with the Tulpehock'en creek. From this it will appear that one branch of the family was reared in the district of Berks county east of the river Schuylkill, and the other branch

PENNSYLVANIA BIOGRAPHY.
HON. CALVIN BLYTHE.
CALVIN BLYTHE, son of David Blythe and Elizabeth Finley, was born in 1790 in Hamiltonban township, Adams county, Pa. His father came from Fifeshire, Scotland, was a soldier of the Revolution, and in service at Trenton and Princeton. His mother was a daughter of William Finley, who was a brother of Samuel Finley, President of the College of New Jersey. He was a graduate of Dickinson College, and com- menced the study of the law. While pursuing his studies, in 1813, he marched as a private soldier in Capt. John McMillan's company, of which his brother Samuel was a lieutenant, to the north-western frontier. He was in the battles of Chippewa, Lundy's Lane, and Buffalo, and also at the storming of Fort Erie. He stood by the side of the gallant Adjutant Poe, who fell at Chippewa, and was appointed his successor. After the close of the war he returned home, completed his law studies, and was admitted to the Adams county bar January 15, 1817. He had n office for a short period in Gettysburg, but soon after located at Mifflintown, where he entered upon a successful professional career.
He was elected to the Assembly and afterwards to the Sen- ate, where he served with distinction. Governor Shultz ap- pointed him, November 28, 1827, Secretary of the Common- wealth. He was commissioned president judge of the district comprising the counties of Dauphin, Lebanon, and Schuylkill, February 1, 1830, serving until July 1, 1839. Twice honored by the appointment of collector of the port of Philadelphia, upon the expiration of his term of office under President Tyler, he resumed the practice of law at the Philadelphia bar, to which he devoted the remainder of his life. He died in Hamiltonban township, Adams county, Pa., June 20, 1849. By his kind- ness of heart and professional work he was most highly es- teemed, not only among the people in general but by the mem-

bers of the bar particularly. Judge Blythe married, August 6, 1828. by Rev. John Peebles, Patience Elliott. daughter of Judge Benjamin Elliott, of Huntington, Pa., and left issue.
CAPT. ANDREW FORREST.
ANDREW FORREST, the son of Thomas Forrest, was born about 1754, at Philadelphia. He was educated at the academy of his native city, and was apprenticed to a prominent apothecary there. At the expiration of his term of service, the fires of the Revolution were burning, and being "active, capable, and more than com- monly adroit in the military exercises." was commissioned second lieutenant January 8, 1776, of Col. John Shee's (Third Penn'a) Battalion, and assigned to Capt. Alexander Graydon's company. At the surrender of Fort Washington, November 16, 1776, he was taken prisoner, and sent on parole to Flatbush, Long Island. Graydon, in his "Memoirs," gives us the following account : "It had been a settled opinion among us at Flatbush, that if the place, or we who were stationed there by a military opera- tion, should fall into the hands of our people for ever so short a time, we were, ipso facto, released from the obligation of re- maining with the enemy, notwithstanding our parole; and it was under this idea, combined with a lucky and unexpected adventure, that Forrest found himself a freeman. I know not how far this opinion of ours may be conformable to the jus belli as established among nations, but it was our deduction from principles, which we held to be correct, and of general and equal application. I think it is also recognized in the old play of prison-base, from which, if the idea was not original, it is more probable we derived it, than either from Grotius, Preffen- dorf, or Vattel. One Mariner, a New Yorker, in revenge for some real or supposed ill-treatment from Matthews, the Mayor of that city, made a descent with a small party upon the island, with the view of getting Matthews into his clutches, who had a house at Flatbush, and generally slept there. He had it also in view to obtain the release of a Capt. Flahaven, who had been billited in my (Capt. Graydon) place on Jacob . Suydam. Disappointed in both objects he liberated Forrest by means of his magical power, and made prisoners of Mr.

Pache and Major Moncrief, the latter of whom spent much of his time at Flatbush, where he had a daughter. But I will give the relation in the words of Mr. Forrest, who on my ap- plication for the particulars of the event, has thus communi- cated them in answer to certain queries proposed : 'Mariner was the man who took me from Long Island. He was a shoe- maker, and had been long confined and cruelly used, as I under- stand by Matthews, who it seems knew him personally. The name of the officer who lodged with me was Flahaven, a cap- tain, who had been in the provost with Mariner, and whom he particularly wished to release; but having changed his quarters he could not be got at. Mariner crossed from the Jersey shore, and retreated to, and landed at, the place of his departure, or near it, a distance of two miles across. His party consisted originally of twenty militia men, in two flat- bottomed boats. At his landing on Long Island, he left his two boats under the guard of five men, while he visited the interior; but these five hearing a firing which was kept up upon us by the Flatbush guard, while we were taking our prisoners, concluded Mariner was defeated and taken; so, with- out further ceremony, they took one of the boats, and made their escape. The other boat, as we reached the shore, was just going adrift. We were much crowded in her, but it. fortu- mately, was very calm, otherwise we could not have weathered it. Matthews was on the top of his house at the time of the search for him. We got, from our place of landing, in wagons, to Princeton. Mr. Bache and Moncrief lodged there in the same house with me for two or three days. How they were disposed of afterwards I do not know, as I was sent on with an explanatory letter from Governor Livingston to Gen. Wash- ington ; but Bache, I think, was sent home shortly, and Mon- crief also (who was a good judge) as a prisoner on parol. Mariner's party must have stayed at Flatbush nearly two hours, for they were there some time before the alarm was taken. and there was afterwards time to dispatch an express to Brooklyn for assistance, and the reinforcements which came in conse- quence was pretty close upon us, as we could see them on the shore when we had left it about a quarter of an hour. This

happened on the 15th of June. 1778. the very day two years I had marched from Philadelphia."" Dr. Forrest, however, was not regularly exchanged until the 25th of October, 1780, but retired from the service, not being able to get his rank, although Col. Cadwalader certified that he was entitled to a captaincy from April 10, 1778. After the war, while residing at Read- ing he was appointed collector of excise for the new county of Dauphin, and removed to Harrisburg with his family. In 1792 he was appointed by the War Department one of the medical examiners at Harrisburg for invalid pensioners of the Revolution. He was elected member of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives from Dauphin county to the session of 1793-4, and appointed, October 27, 1794, by Gov. Mifflin register and recorder, which office he held until displaced by Gov. McKean, January 7, 1800. While at Harrisburg, he kept a drug store on Chestnut street, and practiced medicine until 1804, when he removed to Milton, Pennsylvania, where he died on the 26th of January, 1818. Dr. Forrest married at Reading, December 31, 1778, Jane Graydon, daughter of Alexander Graydon and Rachel Marks. Mrs. Forrest died at Harrisburg and was there buried. Of their daughters, Rachel was the first wife of William Wallace, and died at Erie; Fanny m. Robert Patterson. As to their other children, although there are descendants in Pennsylvania, we have been unable to obtain their record. A son, William Graydon Forrest, was admitted to the Berks county bar November 4, 1801.

The Scotch-Irish Family of Brown.
THE SCOTCH-IRISH FAMILY OF BROWN.
BY WILLIAM HENRY EGLE, M. D., M. A.
I. JOHN BROWN, the "pious carrier," of Muirkirk parish, Ayrshire, Scotland, was captured by Graham of Claverhouse and his troop on the first of May, 1685, and ordered to take the oath of conformity, which he refused to do. Claverhouse bid him go to his prayers, because he had but a few minutes to live. He did pray with such power that when Claverhouse ordered his men to fire upon him they refused, and with a pistol and an oath he blew his brains out, and then turned to the widow and said, "What thinkest thou of thy husband now ?" She answered, "I ever thought meikle of him, but never sae meikle as I do this day." He said, "It were but justice to lay thee beside him." , She answered, "If you were permitted I doubt not but your cruelty would go that length ; but how will you answer for this morning's work ?" "To man I can be answerable, and as for God I will take Him into my own hand," he replied, and rode away.
She laid down her child, tied up her husband's head with her apron, stretched out his limbs, covered him with her plaid, and sat down and wept long and bitterly. Without means, without a friend to help, and liable to be persecuted, she was at her wits' end. But God cared for her and removed her to Ireland, where she found friends and married again. From this second marriage sprung the late James W. Weir, cashier of the Harrisburg bank. John Brown left a daughter five years old by a former marriage, and by his second wife, Marion, (one historian calls her Isabel,) an infant and a posthumous child. These latter came to America, and were JOHN and JAMES. It is not known which was the elder of the two.
II. JOHN BROWN, (John,) born about 1684, emigrated to . America with his brother and other friends in 1720. He set- tled in what was afterwards Paxtang township, Lancaster (now

ii. William, b. June 30, 1720, at sea : was a prominent actor in Provincial and Revolutionary times, a representative man on the frontier, and was a zealous Covenanter. At his own expense he visited Ireland and Scotland on behalf of his re- ligious brethren to procure a supply of ministers, and brought over the celebrated Rev. Messrs. Lind and Dobbin. He was a member of the Assembly in 1776, and during its sessions proposed the gradual emancipation of slaves within the Com- monwealth, a measure not very favorably received at the time, but subsequently adopted. He served again in the As- sembly in 1784, and was a member of the Board of Property December 5, 1785. He was afterwards, October 2, 1786, ap- pointed one of the commissioners to superintend the drawing of the Donation Land Lottery. He died on the 10th of Octo- ber, 1787, and is buried in Paxtang Church grave-yard. Mr. Brown was not only an active, earnest, and public-spirited Christian, of unquestioned piety of heart, but as a neighbor and citizen, generous and kind-hearted, which insured respect and won friendship. He left no issue.
