He was considered a very efficient man in town affairs. and exercised a good deal of influence among the people of his times. It may be truly said that he was one of the fathers of the town. He was the moderator of the annual town meetings of 1773 and 1774 : and con- stituted one of the board of selectmen in 1770. and again in 1775. He was associated with Allen, Warner and others, in defending the rights of the people, during the struggle between New York and New Hampshire, being for several years a member of the com- mittee of safety. He represented Danby in the convention which met at the house of Captain Kent. in Dorset in 1776, and which "declared the New Hampshire grants, a free and seperate dis- trict." He was an intimate friend of Ethan Allen and whose house Allen frequently visited. The letter which Allen address- ed to Capt. Vail, in reference to forming the inhabitants of the town into military order is found upon page 30. The "haughty land jobbers at New York." found in Capt. Vail a strong opponent to their unjust measures, and the settlers a firm friend. But few of the carly settlers were more prominent and useful in organizing the town and society. He and his whe both died with the measles in 1777. the same day, and were buried in the same grave. Tradition says that they died from the effects of poison, administered to them by a tory Doctor, after they had nearly recovered from the measles. They raised a family of ten children : Deborah m. Thomas Allen ; Hannah m. Isaac Gage ;

(From a History and Genealogy of the Vail family, commenc- ed by Alfred Vail, of Morristown, New Jersey, we learn that Moses Vail, the head of the Huntington class, was the son of George Vail, who came from England abont 1650 and settled ou Long Island. Moses his son settled, lived and died at Hunting- ton, L. 1. He made his will Ang. 24th, 1749, and it was proved and approved April 20, 1750 in the city of New York. In this will are the names of his children in the following order viz : Joseph, Platt, Isaac, Moses, John, Israel, Micah, Mary and Phe- be.
From an examination of wills, deeds, journals, accounts, cor- respondence, commissions &c., as well as court and church re- corde made by Alfred Vail it was found that the history and go- nealogy of the Vails in this country, is linked with those of theh fatherland. England and Wales, from whence their forefathers came! There are several large classes of Vails, in different parts of the United States, all doubtless belonging to a common ances- try. There are in Orange Co. N. Y., a very large class of Vails, whose progenitors settled there about 1742, and it is traditional among them that three brothers came from England, and that one settled on Long Island, one in New Jersey, and one in New Eng- land, and that the three sons who settled in Orange Co., came from L. I.
Moses Vail of Huntington, L. 1., married Phebe- Ps and raised the following children : Joseph, Platt, Faac, Moses, John, Israel, Micah. Mary and Phobe.
Joseph Vail, first seu of Moses. b. 1719, m. Rachel,- and is said to have settled at Courtland Manor, Weschester Co., N. Y. His children were : Isaac m. Hester Buckheart : Jesse m. Eliza Backheart : Joseph died unmarried : Mary, Deborah. Dan- iel m. Mary Annan ; Nancy, Phobe. Haanh, Susanpak and Na- thaniel.
Platt Vail, second soa of Moses, b. 1732, m. Susannah Thurs- ton. and settled on L. I. His children are : Samuel io. Mary Rodgers ; Platt jr. m. Keziah Weeks : Sarah m. Platt Conklin : Susanna m. John Brush ; Mary m. Asahel Raymond ; Philetus, Ebenezer, Lotta m. Jeffery Hart ; Moses m. Temperance Bruch ; Elizabeth m. Ezra Valentine ; and Phebe m. James Nostrand.
Isaac Vail, third son of Moses. m. Lavina Ketcham, and set- tled at Beekman, now Union Vale, Dutchess Co. N. Y. He rais- ed a family of eight children : Israel in. Eleanor Delong : Phobe m. Gilbert Vincent ; Thomas m. Sarah Losee ; Rebecca m. Thon- as White ; Moses m. Phobe Losce : Mary m. Samuel Germond ; Elias in. Hannah Bankin ; and Hepsabeth m. Samuel Laser.
Moses Vail, fourth son of Moses, is said to have settled on Loug Island. Beyond this we have no information, in relation to the history of his life and names of his children, if he ever was mar-

ried. John the fifth son of Moses, settled at Courtland Manor.
Israel Vail, the sixth son of Moses, b. 1704, m. Rebecca Hub . bard, and settled in Dutchess Co. N. Y. Their children are : Mary m. William Hall ; Isaac m. Eleanor Ferguson : Pheba m. Jacob Fowler : Lavina m. David Palmer ; Sarah m. Richard Burtrice ; Susannah m. David Williams ; Esther m. first Ben- jamin Fowler, and second William Turner ; Platt m. Catherine Reynolds ; Joseph m. Mary Dunkin, and Israel jr. m. Charity Hall.
It will be noticed that all of the children of Moses Vail. raised large families, whose children also in their turn raised large families. the names of all whom we have uot room to give. Alfred Vail, of New Jersey, who commenced a history of the family, died about twelve years since, and before he had com- pleted the record. In a letter to his friends written May 12th, 1857. he says. "Affor an convailable delay, Lagam venture to offer you a statement of the progress made in the work of collec- ting the History and Genealogy of the Vails, and the dereendants of the Huntington class Of the nine children of your great 1 :- cestor, Moses, I have ouly as yet, been able to procure in part. the family records of Joseph, Platt. Isaac. Israel and Micah. Those of Moses. John, Mary and Phebe have not been received ; nor have I the address of any of their descendants to whoin to write for information. I have, of Joseph's descendands, collected 127 names and 18 complete records : of Platts. 194 names and 24 complete records : of Isaac's 100 names and 20 complete re- cords : of Micah's, 243 names and 26 complete records. To pro- cure this information, I have prior to Oct. 1st 1857, written to the descendants of Joseph, 13; Platt, 15; Isaac, 12 : Israel. 14 ; Micah, 45 letters, in all 155. which have been answered. Ofthe letters which have been written, there remains unanswered by the descendants of Joseph. 13 ; Platt, 14 : Isaac. 12 ; Israel. 14 : and Micah. S. I have recently again examined the records of this class, and the result of it is, the statement herein made, and the writing to the descendants of Joseph. 9 : Platt. 4 ; Isaac. 19 : Is- rael. 20 : and Micah 25, letters, requesting their attention to and aid in collecting the records that are still wanting.
Another result of our collections, is the certain number obtained of the descendants of cach branch, and the estimated number of the whole. Of Joseph's descendants we have received the nemes of 65 males and 66 females. 131 in al! ; Platt. 70 males and 98 females, making 168 : Isse 116 males and 115 Smales, making 231 ; Israel, 162 males and 15: females making 316 : 3Hvah, 165 males and 159 females making 221 ; and the whole number re- ceived 1170. Moses. John's. Mary's, and Phobe's records are not yet received. Joseph's and Platt's are oge barth revive! : Isaac's and Israel's more than one half: Mient's about three- fourths.

scendants of each of Moses Vail's children, would make the whole to 4050.
Edward Vail. P. M., of Springvale, Sampson Co .. N. C., whose name I discovered in the Post Office Directory, was the first knowledge I had of the existence of any Vails in North Car- olina, since which many have been added to the list. My cor- respondence has been thus far with the Chowan county Vail de- ascendants, limited with two or three exceptions. I cherish the belief that all the Chowan county Vails and their descendants sprang from one class. Edward Vail has given me, in the fre- queut correspondence we have had, his father's name as Thomas Vail, and thinks his grandfather's name was Edward. Thomas Vail was a lawyer of Edenton, Chowan coumy, in which county all his children were born. Edward says that his grandfather. his father, and uncle Edward, who was an officer in the Revo- Intion, removed from New Jersey about 1750. His father mar- ried about 1780, Patty Whidbee, of Perquiman's county, and lad eleven children, viz : Abner b. 1789, lawyer. m. 1815, Mary Mackey, of Curretack county ; Mary b. 1784. m. 1808, James Carney, merchant, of Newburne : Thomas b. 1786. farmer, m. Betsy Haskins ; Frederick b. 1788. m. 1813, Anu Satchel ; Edward b. 1792, m. Mahala Manhis : Lettington b. 1799, m. Amanda -, removed to Louisiana ; John b. 1800, in. 1821, Harriet Marley, and removed to Tennessee : Ben- ners b. 1802, m. Susan Alvord. Edward Vail informed me that the North Carolina Vails came originally from the North and that his mother has told him that they came from New Jersey. He also informs me that many years ago, a Jeremiah Vail, came to the province of North Carolina, a lawyer of some distinction, and died somewhere about Edenton or Wilmington."
VAIL MOSES, m. Lucy Seley, a sister of Jonathan Seley, and settled upon the homestead of his father, Micah.

Al- though quite young, during the struggle with New York, he par- ticipated in the deliberations of the settlers, and was prominent in maintaining the rights of the people in those trying times. He also participated in the struggle for Independence, and was captain of a company of militia. He was a man in whom great confidence was placed. and exerted a controling influence.
