BIOGRAPHICAL HISTORY.

COMMODORE DAVID CONNER.

DAVID CONNER, the son of David and Abigail Connor, was born at Harrisburg, Penna., in 1792. He was of Irish de- scent, his family emigrating to this coun- try about 1760, settling at Philadelphia, but previous to the Revolution removing to the Valley of Wyoming. There they, narrowly escaped the massacre in 1778. and the parents took refuge at Harris, burg, where the father died in September 1792. In his fifteenth year young David went to Philadelphia, entered the count- ing house of Major Dennis, and in the intervals of business found time to complete a course of liberal studies. He made considerable progress in French and mathematics, and acquired those habits of industry, precision and attention to minute details, that are perhaps no- where better learned than in the mercan- tile profession. A voyage to the West Indies impressed him with a desire for a nautical life, and he applied for and re- ceived an appointment in the U. S. Navy, January 16, 1809. The war of 1812-14 opening, afforded a fine field for American prowess, and none became more conspicuous than Lieutenant Conner. Especially was he distinguished for his gallantry in the actions fought be . tween the U. S. sloop of war Hornet and the British ship Peacock and the sloop of war Penguin, which terminated in the conquest and capture of the enemy in each case. He was eminently conspicu- ous in both for good conduct and intre- pidity, and in testimony of which his na- tive State subsequently presented him a

sword. After the war he held important commands on all the principal naval sta. tions, and exhibited on several occasions . the diplomatic talent and extensive knowledge of international law which formerly was often required by the Amer- ican naval officer in the exercise of his functions. For a number of years he filled the positions on shore of Naval Commis- sioner and Chief of the Bureau of Con- struction. In 1843 he succeeded Commo- dore Stewart in command of the home squadron. During the war with Mexico Commodore Conner's services were of the utmost importance in the conquest of that country and the preliminary meas- ures taken for the capture of Vera Cruz and its fort were planned by him. However, his constitution natural- ly robust became impaired by the last ef- fects of the wound he received in 1815 in the attack of the Penguin, and the un- healthy climate and close confinement on shipboard was telling its fearful hold, and so relinquishing his command he re- turned to the United States. In Phila- delphia lie passed the remainder of his life for a time in command of the navy yard there. His death occurred on the 20th day of March, 1856, and he was in- terred with military honors in Christ Church burial ground. Commodore Cop- ner married in 1829, a daughter of the celebrated Dr. Physick, of Philadelphia, and left two sons. "In the domestic re- lations of life he was as exemplary as in the performance of his public duty. His disposition was kind and generous, and his means enabled him to indulge in a wide but unostentatious benevolence.

REV. JOHN GRAHAM, D. D.

JOHN GRAHAM, son of Henry Graham, and Elizabeth Ferguson, was born April 17, 1789, in Hanover township, Dauphin county, Pa. He was educated at the Philadelphia academy under Drs. Wylie and Gray, and studied theology at the seminary in New York. In the spring of 1819 he was licensed by the Monon- gahela Presbytery, and ,on the 30th of August 1820, was ordained by the same body. He was pastor of Cross Roads and Washington, Washington county, Pa., from August 30, 1820 to October 8, 1829, during a portion of which period.

Historical and Genealogical.

from 1823 to 1828, he filled the position of professor of languages in Washington college. From 1830 to 1834 he was the stated minister of the congregations of Sycamore and Hopkinsville, Warren . county, Ohio, of Greenfield and Fall Creek, Ohio, from 1834 to 1839. From 1839 to 1840 he was principal of the acad- emy at Chilicothe, Ohio, which position he resigned to accept a call to the churches of West Union and West Fork, Adams county, Ohio, in 1841, in which field he ministered until his death which occurred July 14, 1849. Columbia eollege confer- red upon him the degree of doctor of di- vinity. He was an able teacher and a faithful and conscientious minister of the Gospel. A sermon by him published in the second volume of the Pulpit of the Associate Reformed church, shows his deep theological learning.

MAJOR FREDERICK HUMMEL.

FREDERICK HUMMEL, son of the first settler of that name, was born in Derry township, Lancaster, now Dauphin coun- ty, Penna., on the 4th of October 1758. He followed the occupation of a farmer in his early years. When the struggle for independence came on, although a stripling of eighteen years he entered into the contest, and served as a private in Capt. Jacob Fridley's company of Col. James Burd's Battalion of 1776; was at Trenton and Princeton-and the year following was with the patriots at Brandy- wine and Germantown. At the close of the war he held the position of Major in the associated battalion. It may also be remarked that during the Revolution, . he greatly assisted the cause, by partly superintending the manufacture of arms, which was then a prominent industry at Hummelstown. Major Hummel died on the 7th of December 1802; and his wife Rachel, b. March 14, 1757; d. Nov. 24, 1835, in her 79th year. [In this connec- tion it may be stated that in the recent history of the county, the services of Major Frederick Hummel are credited to Col. Frederick his nephew who was too young for military service-having only entered the infantry branch in 1782. The mistake arose from the stupidity of the ,printers, who joined two sketches into o ne. ]

COL. WILLIAM MOORHEAD

WILLIAM MOORHEAD was born in Lan- caster county, Penn'a., about the year 1772. Little is known of his early his- tory, save that he received a good Eng- lish and classical education. In April, 1806, he became the owner of the noted Lytle's Ferry, above Halifax, which he operated for a number of years. In 180%, he proposed the laying out of a town at that place to be called Williamsville, but the project never amounted to anything, and the contemplated town and future county-seat remained a farm, on whose fertile fields several generations have lived and labored In December, 1813, Mr. Moorhead was commissioned collector of U. S. revenue, when he took up his residence at Harrisburg. In January fol- lowing he was also appointed by the Sec retary of the Treasury, collector of the direct tax for the Tenth district of Penn'a. He died at Harrisburg on Sunday, June 29, 1817. He left a wife Elizabeth, and children, Elizabetlı, Adaline, James Ken- nedy, William G , Joel Barlow, and Henry C. One of his daughters married Mr. Montgomery, who condneted the old Fer- ry for a number of years, which was then known as Montgomery's Ferry. Mrs. Montgomery was a remarkable woman, and frequently during the ilness of her husband, or the want of hands, assisted in the operation of the boats or flats. Of Mr. Moorhead's sons, J. Kennedy Moor- head, of Pittsburgh, and J. B. Moorhead, of Philadelphia, were men of mark in Pennsylvania. Mr. Moorhead, himself, was a gentleman of culture. and much esteemed in private and public life.

CAPT. JEREMIAH REES.

JEREMIAH REES Was born at Oyster's Mill, in East Pennsboro' township, Cum- berland county, Penna., in the year 1776. Of his father's family little is known, save that two of his brothers, Samuel and David Rees, settled in the then Far West. Mr. Rees came to Harrisburg about the commencement of the century. where having married the daughter of Casper Smith, then recently deceased, he con- tinued the "Golden Swan," one of the oldest inns in the town. In this and other occupations, including many years a foll gatherer at the Harrisburg bridge,

Historical and Genealogical.

Mr. Rees passed a long and eventful life. In the second war with England, hc commanded one of the companies which marched to the defense of Baltimore, and was justly considered a good officer and brave soldier. He was one of the promi- nent men of the borough sixty years ago, served in the council, and was held in high esteem by his fellow citizens. He died at Harrisburg on the 4th of January. 1861, at the advanced age of 84 years, Captain Rees was thrice married; first on May 2, 1808, Margaret Smith, daughter of Casper and Martha Smith, who died May 17, 1810, at the age of twenty-two years ; and their children were Cyrus J., who resides at Harrisburg, and Casper, d. s. p. married secondly, June 26, 1810, Lydia Powders, who died April 8, 1821 ; and their children were Maria, m. - Cummings, removed to Davenport, Iowa, Lydia, m.

FAMILY HISTORY .- The venerable Hon. Marshall P. Wilder, at the annual meet- ing of the New England Historic Gene- alogical Society in January last, delivered a most excellent address. From his re- marks on family history, we glean the following, which we commend to all our readers, in the hope that they may be in- duced to give the subject due and proper consideration : "The study of family his. tory elevates and enables the nature of man, and lifts it up to a truer and nobler typc. To know nothing of our ancestry or from whence we came, to have no rev- erence for the precious memories of the past or an interest in those who are to succeed us in the battle of life, to ignore the

is elements and influences that have made us what we are, to repudiate the natural instincts and affections of the human heart, and to suppress the aspirations and hopes of a soul that is to course on through endless circles of cternity. And what more precious testimonial of your love of kindred and home can you leave, than that which provides for the trans- mission of the history of your ancestors, yourself and family, to future genera- tions ? And how consoling the thought, that when you shall have been gathered to your fathers, this history shall live through all coming time, as a precious inheritance to your descendants ! This is a trust that Providence has confided to your care; and who so dcad to sympathy and affection, to kindred and country, that would not preserve the record of his

WINAGLE FAMILY RECORD.

There reeently came into our posses- sion one of Dr. Martin Luther's "Ser- mon Books," printed in the year 1558 at Frankfort-on-the- Main by Weyant Han "in derr Selinurr-gassen zum Krug, " and although now 326 years old is in very good eondition.

It is dedicated to the "Buergermeister and Rath of the city of Nuremburg. It is what may be called the "Wentnagle" family Bible, for therein contains the fam- ily records of births, deaths and marriages, and came into the Wentnagle family, so far as we ean learn, in 1716, for on the out- side of the front lid of the book is this impression, "Mathias Windnagle, A. D. 1716, the 14th May." He was the great great grand father of the writer. On the first leaf of the book is found the follow- ing in well written and preserved pen- manship, which we have literally trans- lated into English :

"Matthias Wentnagle was born of Evangelical Lutheran parents in the year of our Redeemer Jesus Christ, 1716, on the 14th May, and was married with Ma- ria Catharine born Ritter, who fell asleep peacefully and happily in the Lord, the 28th Feb., 1786, aged 68 years, 10 months and three weeks.

Anno, 1749, the 11th of February, the good Lord rejoieed us parents mutually with a son, who received in holy baptism the name of John Matthias, who, how- ever, died in the Lord on the 8th of Jan., 1792.

Anno, 1750, the 24th of December, the good Lord rejoiced us parents mutually with a daughter, who received in holy baptism the name of Eca Catharine.

Anno, 1753, the 14th of December, the good Lord rejoieed us parents mutually with another daughter, who received in holy baptism the name of Maria Elizabeth.

Anno, 1759, the 30th of May, the good Lord rejoiced us parents mutually with a son, who received in holy baptism the name of John Prederick.

"In the year 1775, on the 16th of May, John Mathias Wentnagle entered into holy bond of matrimony with Agnes Ehrlisen, but the Lord of life and death called him out of this troublesome world into a joyous eternity in the year 1792, on the eighth of January. He leaves-
