(5.1.1.5) SYLVANUS FERRIS (AFN: 8RK9-PG) (stone has Sylvenus) a Revolutionary worthy, born August 10, 1737 Greenwich CT and died January 12, 1824 Salem (Lewisboro), Westchester, NY; headstone says he died January 12, 1821 age 86y 5m 2d – 1821 does not track with 86y so think the 1821 on the stone’s photo is 1824; he was about two years old when his father died and his mother was appointed guardian of the children. The mother died 1744 and Silvanus's Uncle Samuel (5.1.3), was appointed guardian of the children and executor of the estate of James (5.1.1). Silvanus served as a Private in Captain Stephen White’s Company of Stanwich, 9th Regiment during the French and Indian War and was called to service during the month of August 1757, when the company marched to the relief of Fort William Henry. Silvanus married September 10, 1761 at Greenwich, Mary Mead (3.5.5.8). Silvanus and Mary lived in their native town prosperous and happy until the outbreak of the Revolutionary War (1775-1783) when Mr. Ferris espousing the cause of the patriots, became so persecuted by the Tory contingent in and about Greenwich that he decided to move with his family across the state line into Westchester Co NY; he purchased May 28, 1782 of Eli Rundle (Randall?) a farm property on each side of the road leading from Canaan Parish to Ridgefield, located about four miles south of South Salem; moved his family there immediately. The homestead stood nearly opposite a country store and post office which was operated by Silvanus, who made a business of farming, store keeping and entertaining travelers with the homestead being maintained as an Inn until about 1815. It became known as the Silvanus Ferris Homestead and was still standing in 1934 and was beautifully maintained by the owner. The store and post office remained until 1905 when destroyed by fire. Mrs. Ferris, with saddlebags filled with stockings of her own and neighbors' knitting, made annual visits to the city of New York on horseback, disposed of the goods, purchased such articles as herself and neighbors needed, and brought what she could home with her. On one of these visits, Mrs. Ferris pulled a sprout from one of the large black walnut trees north of Harlem Bridge for a whip. When she reached her home she planted it, and an immense tree grew on the old homestead. Mr. and Mrs. Ferris' family consisted of four sons and five daughters. Seven of them were born in Greenwich and two in Salem. Silvanus was frequently elected to public office and in 1783, one year after moving to Lewisboro, was chosen Highway Commissioner. Whether inadvertently or not, Silvanus set fire to a tract of woodland belonging to Thacher Hayes, but at the town meeting in 1811, it was voted that the fine, which had been imposed upon him on that occasion "be given off". Silvanus was a Presbyterian and always faithful to family prayers at night and morning, always standing when he prayed or asked blessing at the table, his family and guests also standing. Silvanus and Mary are buried in the old Presbyterian Churchyard at South Salem NY (Photos).

Silvanus’ Will:

The will of Sylvanus left to his four daughters the sum of $40.00 each and "the whole of my beds and beding and clothing except what is before reserved for my wife during her natural life, then to be equally divided between them." The will was made in 1819, but Sylvanus outlived his wife by about 18 months. His son, Gideon was Executor and his daughter Molly, wife of Henry Hayes, designated her brother Sylvanus of Herkimer Co, as her attorney to collect:

Know all men by these presents, that Whereas Sylvanus Ferris, late of the town of South Salem, County of Westchester & State of New York, by his last will and testament in writing did give & bequeath unto his daughter, Molly Hayes, of the town of Galway, County of Saratoga and State aforesaid, a legacy of forty dollars and a share of bedding and wearing apparel to be paid unto the said Molly Hayes and of the said will made & constituted his son, Gideon Ferris of the said town of Salem one of his Executors as in and by the said will may appear, now know ye that I, the said Molly Hayes & all of my Heirs whose names & seals are hereunto affixed have made, ordained, constituted and appointed Sylvanus Ferris of the town of Norway, County of Herkimer & State aforesaid our true & lawful attorney for us and in our names & for our own use & benefit to ask, demand and receive of and from the said Gideon Ferris the legacy of Forty dollars and the share of clothing or the amount in money according to the appraisal given and bequeathed to the said Molly Hayes by the will of the said Sylvanus Ferris aforesaid & upon receipt thereof by or payment thereof to our said attorney a full release or discharge from the same to make, execute and deliver hereby, ratifying and confirming whatsoever our said attorney shall lawfully do in the premises.

Personal traits of Silvanus Ferris as stated in letter written by Cyrus Mead Ferris on June 28, 1889 to Charles Ferris Gettemy: "It may be interesting to know something of the general traits and character of our grandfather, Silvanus Ferris the gist from my own observation and recollection although I was but a boy. I thought a great deal of him for I never remember of his giving me an unpleasant word, although I lived in the same house until his death over 12 years. Much of my leisure time was spent with him in his room, or in his out of door walks attending to business, etc. I remember how well he looked. He was a tall, straight man with a full head of long white hair, always wearing a smooth shaven face, and dark eyes, weighing, I should think, 200 or more, spry and active until a few days before his death, and was always much respected by his neighbors and friends, dignified in appearance, though social and friendly with all. By profession he was a Presbyterian, a Christian man, most always attending church though four miles away, faithful to his prayers morning and night under all circumstances, always standing up when he prayed or when asking a blessing at the table and his family and guest at the same time standing likewise. He was a man of even disposition never petulant and uneasy, but happy and liked to see others so, never using a word of bad or profane language and for those excellent traits of character I have heard his neighbors say he was Reverenced and respected.

I have been told he never did much hard work after his boys were large enough to do it. My father used to tell a story about his hoeing corn. He usually sent his boys out to work first, he followed later. When the horn blew for dinner, he would set up his hoe in the row at the place where he stopped. One day, while he was taking a nap after dinner the boys played until near time to come out; then, to make him think they had worked, they sat his hoe back a few rows. He came, took his hoe and hoed the same rows over again to the great amusement of the boys, as they used to tell him of it in later years.

To show how easy he took things, he had a tenement house about 1/2 mile from his home. One day it caught fire and when word came to him he arose from his chair and reaching for his pipe began to fill it. His wife urged him to hurry, to which he replied, he should light up his pipe before he went.

I speak of this to show his disposition, while grandmother was quite the opposite and called a good thorough businesswoman.

I well remember what pleased him much and he liked to tell of it. In the time of the Revolutionary War before he left Greenwich CT, the Torries (or cowboys, so called) stole everything they could that was useful, his crops, his horse and a pair of oxen. The oxen were stolen by a neighbor named Bishop living in Darien, the next town, who years later after became a Quaker quite wealthy and respected, but it so troubled him that when he made his will he made provision that Silvanus Ferris should be paid for one ox of the oxen with interest which he received. It pleased him to think that the old Quaker dare not die without paying for the ox he had and exposing himself after he was dead."

(Jim - there is conflicting info on how many children they had.)

The personal records of his life are meager and not illuminative. Certain it is that he born neither to poverty nor wealth, and it may be that his finest inheritance was a body and disposition that enabled him to achieve an exceptionally long life in a day when this was not easy to attain, and that he was a father of a numerous progeny. Longevity and large families were characteristics of many of his descendants. In the evening of his life he was described by a contemporary as a “tall and straight man with a full head of long white hair, always wearing a smooth shaven face, dark eyes and weighing about two hundred pounds, or more, spry and active until a few years prior to his death, and was always much respected by his neighbors and friends, dignified in appearance though social and friendly with all. By profession he was a Presbyterian, a Christian gentleman… for these excellent traits of character I have heard his neighbors say he was Reverenced and respected.” This contemporary also pointed out that, “I have been told that he never did much work after his boys were large enough to do it.” Born to Silvanus and Mary were:

FERRIS born January 7, 1810 and died May 4, 1855 Hillsdale MI; married October 20, 1832 Catherine Hopeman [Note: A Luther Ferris and his wife, Rowena, had a son, Chester who died November 19, 1870 at age 19 years of typhoid fever at Ransom, Hillsdale County MI. It is possible that Rowena was Luther’s seond wife.]

(5.1.1.5.1.1.5) CHAUNCEY WASHINGTON FERRIS born September 22, 1811 Cato, Cayuga, NY and died February 11, 1889 Hillsdale MI [Jim - Chaplain Ferris spelled his name ‘Chauncey’, but the 1860 census has it without the ‘e’, so I will go with the census, especially since Chaplain Ferris spelled Chauncy, Jr., without the ‘e’; apparently the census was wrong – a document shows his name with the ‘e’]; married 1^st September 27, 1838 Julia Maria Smith born January 7, 1817 and died April 28, 1841; married 2d October, 10, 1844 at Hillsdale, Catherine Ann Wolford born June 10, 1816 and died August 22, 1850; and 3d November 12, 1851 Phebe Elizabeth Hedges born April 1, 1822 and died May 30, 1911. Chauncy was one of the earlier pioneers of Hillsdale MI. He built a large brick house there in 1845, at Number 9 North Street. In partnership with a Mr. Cook, Chauncy open the settlement’s first store. There apparently was no offspring from the first marriage. Listed in the 1860 census of Hillsdale County, Hillsdale Village; in this same census, there was a Corneluis, age 22 and Luthren, age 7 residing in the household. Speculate that Cornelius was (5.1.5.1.8.5), Chauncy’s nephew. Further speculation is that the Luthren, age 7, might have been a son of Luther, Chauncy’s brother, although there is no offspring shown.]

John Potter Cook and Chauncey Ferris, his friend, were the third and fourth men to come to Hillsdale. They proved to be the "movers and shakers" for the community during their entire lifetime. These two men, at the age of 20, left their home in Cato, New York to journey to the west with a wagonload of mercantile goods. They stopped first in the small settlement of Jonesville and established the first store. However, by 1834 they decided that Hillsdale offered them more opportunities. In 1838 they set up the first grist mill using the mill pond race as it merged with the St. Joseph River. It was a simple mill using only a millstone and a water wheel to furnish power but from 1838, a mill on this same site has continued to operate to the present time. (The mill was purchased from Ferris and Cook by F.W. stock in 1869 and was operated by that same family for more than 80 years.) One humorous note concerning Cook was, that as the settlement evolved into a village, he was designated as the wrestler to test any newcomer to the area. Together, Ferris and Cook platted much of the settlement which became Hillsdale. These two men, with foresight knew development would be enhanced with a railroad connection. Cook, becoming a contractor for Michigan Southern Railroad, and working with Henry Waldron and Charles T. Mitchell (two more of the early settlers), was able to extend the railroad from Adrian in Lenewee County, where it had ended, to Hillsdale. Recognizing the benefit, the men then erected warehouses along the terminus in Hillsdale in order that products might be shipped from the area. By being instrumental in organizing Hillsdale as a county in 1835, Cook was appointed Treasurer and Ferris became the County Clerk. Ferris also was elected supervisor and served as a school commissioner and as mayor of Hillsdale. Appointed by President Martin Van Buren, Cook became Hillsdale's first Postmaster. The two men were also given the task of building the first frame Court House. Additionally, Cook served in 1845 in the State Legislature and then in the State Senate. He also was elected to two state Constitutional Conventions in 1850 and 1870 when Michigan framed its State Constitution. With his friends, Waldron, Mitchell and Ferris, Cook organized the first bank in the village and then in 1874 established the Hillsdale Savings Bank. Cook labored for his community tirelessly as a member of the Hillsdale Board of Education and the Board of Trustees of Hillsdale College when it was moved from Spring Arbor in 1844. Through Cook's efforts the Hillsdale County Fair was organized and Cook served as its first Treasurer. Hillsdale was well served by the work and the promotion throughout their lives by John Potter Cook and Chauncey Ferris.

(5.1.1.5.1.3.2.1) NEWTON D. FERRIS - the following is speculation based on his parent’s marriage date and the fact that Ira in Cayuga County is an adjacent county to Oswego County, and Newton is identified as being from Ira. The Oswego County NY webpage on www.rootsweb.com has a series of letters from Chauncy A. Smith to his wife during the Civil War. In those letters he mentions Newton Ferris who was his tent-mate. They were in Company F, 111^th Infantry Regiment, New York Volunteers. The letters are interesting reading as they depict soldier life during the Civil War. The letter depicts how Newton was captured and it is learned, later died a Confederate POW Camp.”October 18, 1864, Camp before Petersburg: Monday night Mr. Ferris and Mr. Mainard of Lysander came into camp. I was glad to see their familiar faces. . . . Newton Ferris is tenting with me and I find his company agreeable. . . I have just come to my tent from a drill. John, my friend was out on fatigue duty in the night in company with Newton Ferris, for those who are on fatigue duty in the night are exempt from drill the next day. Newton had just come in from the post office with the Tribune. I asked him if the news of Sheridan’s last victory was in the paper. He said, ‘Yes,’, so we all sat down in the tent to hear the good news read. While Mr. Ferris has been reading, seven have passed over our camp from the Rebel Battery, and not a great way over eight, but I am thankful that as yet today no one has been hurt.” “October 30, 1864, Newton Ferris said that he had been in the army almost three years and remarked to me that it was about as hard a time as he had seen in his whole service.” He was talking about a march they were on. “On the 2d day of November, Mr. Ferris of Ira, John Howard of the town of Rose, and John O’Brian of Syracuse with myself were detailed to go on picket about three miles to the left, for the first time and it proved to be the last time for Ferris and Howard. We arrived at the picket line at 6 o’clock in the evening, we were posted and told that we would be relieved in 24 hours and so we were, but not by Union soldiers. This picket that we were on had just been formed without any reserve picket to protect it. The Johnnies had been informed of the situation and they made a raid on our line the next night about 5 p.m. and gobbled up, I should think about 150 of our pickets in good style, of whom I was one. I should judge that there were about four or five hundred of the raiders and when they got into the rear of our picket line they formed themselves into a hollow square, having guards 4 deep all around the square. We pickets were looking to the front of the enemy and not the rear, consequently we were taken by surprise and were not prepared to defend ourselves. The front ranks of this square were in blue clothes that they had gotten from deserters and this too threw us off our guard as they approached us. When they came up to our post they had some five or six big lusty fellows outside of their ranks to disarm us and shove us into the trap with a rush. …. When they had their square filled with out pickets they started for their lines acting as though they felt jolly over their game they had played.” Chauncy later escaped but Newton and Howard did not.

(5.1.1.5.2.1.2.1) ELIZABETH HAYES born Saratoga Co NY and married Charles Knox Fletcher

(5.1.1.5.2.2) WILLIAM JAMES HAYES born November 9, 1795 Galway NY and died November 1, 1849 Sparta, Randolph, IL; July 1833 William and his family left their home in Galway and traveled to Cleveland OH to look over land and visit with Anna’s half-sister, Ursula Cownover Talor. In July, William left Cleveland and went to Illinois to see if he liked it better than Ohio. Apparently, he liked what he saw because in September 1833, he and his family moved to Fort Clark (now Peoria) IL. After his arrival in Illinois, William bought and sold a great deal of land in the area. In 1834, they moved to Randolph County. In 1837 William made a trip back to New York and on his way back to Illinois, he contacted small pox. Three of his children subsequently caught the disease, but all recovered. In 1841, William had a public sale, selling his farm and personal property consisting of: 4 horses, 40 head of cattle, 50 hogs, one 2-horse wagon, harnesses, ploughs, cradles, hay, grain, etc. In 1842, William was involved in the underground railroad. He helped five "indentured servants" (Susan Richardson "Sukey", Hannah Morrison, and Susan's children, Jarrot, Harrison, and Anderson) escape from Randolph County IL. The five had belonged to Andrew Borders, a very wealthy and influential man who lived west of Sparta IL. The route the escapees traveled is not known, but it is known that by September 5, 1842, they had arrived in Farmington IL. An account of what happened to them after that date is found in Fighters for Freedom by Herman Muelder published in 1959. In December, 1842 Andrew Borders was notified by Peter Frans, Sheriff of Knox County that his five servants were jailed in Galesburg IL. Borders and his son, James traveled to Galesburg to claim them. Because Hannah Morrison's term of indenture had expired the year before, Borders made no claim for her, but he did claim Sukey and the boys. However, Sukey was gone when he arrived ("either ran away or was taken away") and he got only her young sons. In February 1843, he sued William Hayes for trespass in aiding his servants in escaping and asked for $2,500.00 in damages. This was a civil case tried in the Circuit Court of Perry County at Pickneyville IL and judgment was rendered in favor of the plaintiff, Borders for $300.00 in damages plus cost. The case was appealed to the Illinois Supreme Court where the judgment of the trial court was affirmed with costs. This did not stop William from his underground railroad activities. In 1845, he hired a lawyer for his services in the case of "The People vs. William Hayes and Daniel Morrison" for harboring a slave. This case was tried in the Clinton County Court in 1848. William married, November 25, 1819, Anna Johnston (1800‑1861); and born to them were:

There is loads of information on the Internet on Billy Fiske. Born into a wealthy family, Fiske was at school in Europe in 1928 when he and a few other Americans formed a bobsled team to enter the Winter Olympics at St. Mortiz, Switzerland. The fearless seventeen-year-old Fiske was chosent to drive the 5-man bobsled and he drove it to a gold medal. Four years later, he won another gold medal as driver of the winning 4-man sled in the Lake Placid Olympics. Fiske also won the Grand National championship on the famed Cresta Run in Switzerland in 1936 and 1938. Fiske married the Countess of Warwick in 1938 and he joined the British Royal Air Force in 1939 shortly after WWII began. He was seriously wounded on a mission over Europe in June of 1940. He landed his plan in England but died a short time later. The Billy Fiske Memorial Trophy is awared to the national champion 4-man bobsled team. From the London Daily Mail, July 6, 2001: Someone had walked mysteriously down to that shadowy old corner of the cemetery again and put more flowers on Billy Fiske’s grave. The grave was squeezed in under drooping trees. And the sun hardly ever got through to light it up. ‘Pilot Officer W.M.L. Fiske III’ was on the headstone. Then, ‘Born 4 June 1911 in Chicago. Killed in Action 17 August 1940. He died for England.’ What that tells you about Billy Fiske is nothing, because he was the all-time golden boy, and now there is something in the cinemas and his name is starting to be heard. The film is Pearl Harbor and it has a handsome American pilot leaving for England to join the RAF’s famous all-American Eagle Squadron. Then he fought in the Battle of Britain, which is about where the real Fiske comes in. In the 21 Club in New York, after a hard day making another fortune in banking, a friend said the news from London was grim. War seemed certain. Britain was going to need fighter pilots. Billy’s eyes shone like the silver dollars he tossed to the shoeshine boys on Wall Street. A war was a different kind of thrill. His life had been full of thrills, such as waiting at the top of Cresta Run in St Moritz ready to be called for his two minutes of terror rocketing down the ice. He was the best there was for a while. Won an Olympic bobsled gold medal for the United States in 1928 when he was only 16. Another in ’32. There wasn’t a society place in Europe where Billy wouldn’t stop the traffic in the lobby when he checked into the hotel and you should have seen the crowd around him in Monte Carlo, watching his hand hover over the roulette table, clicking a tube of $100 chips. First time anyone heard of him here was when stories came down from Cambridge, where he studied the late Twenties. The stories were of him getting up to 110mph between Trinity Hall and Mlldenhall golf club in his 4 litre green Bentley. Money meant nothing. Billy Fiske did it all. The beauties of Europe’s high society clung to him like ivy. Now the richest cigar smoke in the world held like low cloud in the 21 Club the night that Billy heard about the big fight coming in the sky over Britain. It was something he had to be part of; the biggest thrill of all. No American came with more blue-blood. His father was head of Dillon, Reade, and Co., close to being America’s biggest investment banker. But being American was no good for joining the RAF. You had to be British, though Commonwealth or Empire would do. Anyway Billy got a suite on the Arcadia and sailed for England. That was August 1939. The woman he had met at St. Moritz ball, Rose Bingham, former Countess of Warwick, was his wife now and could open some doors. Billy’s fame took care of the rest. Just how he persuaded Air Chief Marshall Sir William Elliott to take him, no one knows, but when he left the Savoy soon after their meeting in September 1939, Billy was going to be in the war. In his diary he put: ‘I had a quiet Saturday night before the selection board appointment because I didn’t want to have eyes looking like blood stained oysters.’ ‘A natural pilot,’ his instructor said. He qualified and was posted to Tangmere in Sussex. The base was to be burned into the history of the Battle of Britain. The 601 Squadron was there. The Millionaire’s Squadron, it was called. Most of the pilots had parachuted out of the pages of Debrett’s. Max Aitken, son of Daily Express owner Lord Beaverbrook was in 601, and Sir Philip Sassoon, Loel Guinness, William Rhodes-Moorhouse, one of the Montagu bank family. Now Billy Fiske was around, looking for excitement. Just so petrol rationing wouldn’t spoil running their wonderful cars, Willie Rhodes-Moorhouse was told to fix it. He did: he bought the local garage. Only the tanks were nearly empty. Loel Guinness as a director of Shell and got the company to send a tanker to top them up. This is how these guys lived between bravery in combat. Billy was right in there with them. Billy flew his Hurricane to glory. Ed Murrow, the American radio reported, credited him with six kills. He was a sensation. The day he ran out of bullets, he manoeuvred a JU88 bomber into a barrage balloon. American pilots, civilians, were arriving in Britain and the Eagle Squadron was forming. Billy got word he would be sent to lead it when they were ready. The morning started full of sun over Tangmere on August 16, 1940. There was a scramble at 12.25. Billy flew into a dark sheet of Stuka dive-bombers moving on the base. He engaged them. A good shot form a German tail gunner hit his engine. The Hurricane caught fire. It came smoking over a hedge and belly-flopped back on the Tangmere runway. His lower body and hands were burned. That night he was sitting up joking in bed at the Royal West Sussex Hospital in Chichester. Next day he was dead. Died of shock,’ his commander, Sir Archibald Hope, said in his grief. A Union Jack and the Stars and Stripes were over his coffin when they carried him through the trees of Boxgrove Priory. He was 29 and the first American in uniform to die in Europe in WWII, which seems like a really big movie waiting to be made. On July 4, 1941, a plaque was unveiled to his memory in St. Paul’s Cathedral. Under his name are the words: “An American citizen who died that England might live.”

After looking over it last weekend, I realized where my late brother Steve got his engineering genius. When we were growing up he was always taking things apart and trying to build something new. After high school, he went into the Army where he worked on helicopters, and then, while on weekend leave, he was in a horrible accident and suffered a serious brain injury. After getting a medical discharge, he went on to seven different universities and colleges, but he could never pass the calculus tests, and he finally gave up trying to get an engineering degree. But I think you can see where I’m going with this – it took a catastrophic injury to stop him. I think he got a fair share of those Ferris genes!”

(5.1.2.6.4.2.1) MARYETTE FERRIS born c1825; married c1853, Hezekiah Stow (Stowe); one source believes they divorced or he deserted her and the children;

Jim, I do have reason to believe that Hezekiah Stow/e and Maryette Ferris divorced. Here is my information and research so far on the subject. It is long, I apologize, but it is circumstantial, so I know no other way to present it to you. I have an ancestor, Hezekiah Stow/e who married on March 3, 1859 in McGregor, Clayton County, Iowa, Mary Sparks. Mary Spark's parents and most of her 12 brothers and sisters lived in Clayton Co., Iowa at the time. There is only one other Stow/e family in Clayton Co., Iowa at the time and I can prove that they are not Hezekiah's parents. My Hezekiah Stow/e is on the 1860 Clayton Co., IA. census with his wife Mary and infant son, James Niles Stow/e, living right next door to Mary's mother, Elizabeth Sparks and some of Mary's sibs. My Hezekiah Stow/e and family are on the 1870 Pleasant Grove, Olmsted County, MN census living in the same tiny hamlet as Mary's mother and several of Mary's married sibs. On the 1875 MN state census, Hezekiah is missing and Mary is listed as a widow. When I first starting researching Hezekiah Stowe, all I knew about him was what I got from the 1860 and 1870 census records. He was born in New York between 1828-1835. First, I looked for him on the 1850 Federal census. This was before the computer. I used census records at the MN Historical Society, National Archives, and WI Historical Society. For the 1850 census, only the Heads of Households were indexed. I soon found Hezekiah Stowe in Prattville. He was married, so I thought not mine. He was the only Hezekiah Stow/e listed as Head of Household in any State on the 1850 census. So, I figured my Hezekiah Stowe was living with his parents. I was determined to find him and Minnesota did not have the census records for every State. (I live in MN.) However, the Wisconsin Historical Society Library did have every Federal census for every year for every State. I spent two weeks in Madison, Wis looking at EVERY SINGLE Stow, Stowe, Stone, Stone, Stoe, etc household in every State on the 1850 census. Believe me, Hezekiah Stowe in Prattville, NY is the ONLY Hezekiah Stow/e on the 1850 census in ANY STATE. My ancestor's name is Hezekiah Niles Stowe, so I also checked for any Niles Stow/e, H. Stow/e, N. Stowe, H.N. Stow/e that could be him---NOTHING. So, I went back to the Hezekiah Stowe in Prattsville. He wasn't on the 1860 census, but it appears that his wife was, interesting. He wasn't on the 1870 or 1880 New York census either. On the 1850 census, the Roswell Ferris listed in the household above Hezekiah Stowe caught my eye. Hezekiah named his son, Roswell! Sure enough Maryetta Stowe was living with Roswell Ferris on the 1860 census. I followed Roswell Stowe thru census records and he appeared to disappear by 1900, so I ordered the death certificate for Roswell Stowe, guessing his death date. Sure enough, he died May 23, 1889 in Ashland. On his death certificate it said that his name was Roswell Denis Stowe, he was born in Prattsville, his father's name was Hezekiah Stowe born in Cohoes, N.Y. and his mother was Maryetta Stowe born in Ashland, N.Y. I guessed that his grandfather Stowe might be Dennis Stowe and he was named for his two grandfathers. So, I checked the Cohoes, Albany Co. census and was excited to find a Dennis Stowe there who was old enough to be his grandfather. Next, I wrote to Greene County to look for a divorce decree for Hezekiah Niles Stow/e and Maryetta Ferris Stowe. They immediately sent me an automated reply that said it might take them a year to answer my request. Sure enough, exactly one a year later I received a standard reply that they found nothing. I don't really trust that is accurate, (for the obvious reasons) and also because I have since learned that the old Greene county divorce records are not indexed. Then, more recently on the internet, I found a probate record for Giles Sutton. His will was written May 29, 1855 and he listed, "to granddaughter Maryetta Stowe, child of my daughter Eleanor, now deceased, $90.00." Also, given was information taken from the newspaper when the will was probated, Feb. 1857, named as Heirs In Law -- in Newspaper Legal Notice: "Maryetta Stowe, granddaughter, wife of Hezekiah Stowe, of Prattsville." So, all this was interesting, but it really didn't help me. I was stuck. Several years went by and one day on the Stowe Rootsweb Surname List a woman from Washington State posted a query. (She got the following information about her ancestor from a partly filled out DAR application --filled out in the 1920's) Her ancestor, Henrietta Stowe Ostrum was born in 1832 in Cohoes, N.Y. Her father was Dennis Stowe and she had siblings named Schuyler/Frank Stowe, Hezekiah Stowe, and Elizabeth Stowe. Henrietta married David Ostrum in Cohoes? and moved to N.J. They had several children (she listed them by name) and then David Ostrum died about 1863 in N.J. or N.Y. Henrietta Stowe Ostrum and her five small children then moved between 1864-1869 to Pleasant Grove, Olmsted Co Minnesota. The woman in the query stated that she didn't know why Henrietta moved West with her five children but she speculated that maybe Henrietta had family there. Well, I almost died! I have been to Pleasant Grove, Olmsted Co., MN because that is where my Hezekiah Stowe lived from about 1861 to his death about 1874 and it is TINY. I checked the census records and sure enough, there was Henrietta Ostrum in Pleasant Grove in 1870 and every year thru 1900. She died in 1906. So, what about Hezekiah Stow/e in Prattsville? Did he get a divorce or just leave, because I believe that he is the same man who married in 1859 in Iowa and moved to Pleasant Grove, MN where he died about 1874. Statistically the chances that it is just a coincidence that Henrietta Stowe Ostrum (who also coincidentally HAD a brother named Hezekiah Stowe) moved alone across the country with five small children and JUST HAPPENED to land in a tiny little town where ANOTHER UNRELATED Hezekiah Stowe (also born in N.Y.) lived, is highly unlikely, especially given how hard a time I had finding ANY Hezekiah Stow/e on the 1850 census in any State. So, this is my research information, circumstantial evidence, so far. I have not been able to find anything additional on Maryette Ferris Stow/e and I was hoping that you maybe had something. Thanks, Nancy

From Laurel Ferris: Here is the only references` I found in Lincoln A. Ferris's sermons to his father and mother. I thought you might be interested in them (embellished as they appear) since the same parents raised GWG Ferris.

"In the gray of an October day, long years ago, there came to my hand a telegram, from the publishers for whom I had worked saying: 'Perkins, of Chicago, is sick. Would you like to take the branch office. Will contract for four years at $6,000.00 a year, and give you the bonus of the office. Worth last year $7,800.00 to Perkins. Ought to be worth $10,000.00 to you. Wire us when you will go.' In the same thirty minutes there came a letter from the Presiding Elder, Alfred Coons, of Kingston District, New York Conference, saying: 'I understand you have some months, before entering the Theological Seminary. Would like you to supply the Livingstonville charge until the close of the Conference year. You will have lots of hard work, a good deal of experience, and only God in heaven knows if you will ever get any pay. Write me if it is possible for you to go.' I gave the messages into my father's hands, he being a 'preacher man' and asked him what to do. His eyes filled with mist as he gave them back, saying: 'My son, you will need to speak to your Heavenly Father about so important a matter as this.' And a lad climbed the stairs and after two hours came again and sent a telegram, saying: 'Impossible to go to Chicago.' And another saying: 'Will leave for Livingstonville two weeks from today." "I am the plainest sort of man and far removed from the poet's hear, yet I journeyed four hundred and fifty miles to walk down a path not longer than the aisle of a church, where, as a boy of seven, I walked on even-tide with my poet mother; and I remember saying: 'Mama, why does the mountain ash flower in the drops of blood?' And my mother said, 'The mountain ash is far from home. Its friends are far away on the mountains and maybe God lets it blossom in red so it can say to them, 'I love you and i remember, and my heart is always with you in the hills.' The grasses are long since green above the grave of my mother. The mountain ash no longer flames in red and the roses have died beside the walk, but they still cast their shadows in my heart."

Mosher born 1853 Greene Co and died April 1, 1950 Alden IL. Henry and Millie lived on the Ferris homestead at Alden IL, where they built a butter and cheese factory. [Jim - I assume Henry is the son, in S. Ferris & Son.] About 1881, Henry conceived an idea for a hay carrier, which he perfected and patented. Hunt, Helm & Ferris were the manufacturers of the celebrated New Star one-way carrier, and the Swivel Reversible Hay Elevator and Carrier (see photos). These carriers were cast at Rockford and put together in Harvey. In addition to their carriers, Hunt, Helm & Ferris carried a full and complete line of the latest and most improved hay forks, hooks, etc. They had four traveling salesmen and their carriers were sold in all parts of the U. S. and Canada. Prior to the hay carrier, he had patented a farm gate and a flytrap. He became affiliated with local men in the manufacture of farm and dairy appliances. The firm started work in a blacksmith shop, then the basement of a hardware store and later moved to a plant that covered many acres. The firm's name was changed to Starline, Inc., which now is known all over the country for its many labor saving devices for the farmer. (1963). Born to Henry and Millie were:

Howard entered the Starline factory as a timekeeper but soon realized that to obtain an executive position in the plant it would be necessary to obtain more education in the mechanical line; 1900 enrolled at the Chicago Manual Training School, a part of the U. of Chicago. Upon graduating he returned to the plant where he did drafting and pattern making, also filling in as assistant foreman; made superintendent 1904 and continued in that capacity until 1921 when he became assistant to his father as a designing engineer. At the death of his father, Howard became chief engineer, until he resigned in 1948; 1963 was still president of the board and consulting engineer; served as director and president of the Harvard State Bank and in 1963 was chairman of the board of directors; served for 25 years as President of the school board of Harvard Central School and held many other responsible positions in other civic groups.

(5.1.2.6.4.7.2) ELLEN AUGUSTA FERRIS (Photo) born 1847 (as per tombstone) Ashland NY and died 1913 Walton, Delaware, NY; married 1866 in Ashland, Tallman Charles Bookout (Bookhout) [son of William & Lucy Caroline (Hull) Bookhout] (Bookhout as per tombstone) born November 24, 1841 in Roxbury, Delaware, NY and died 1909 Delaware Co NY; buried Walton Cemetery (Photos). Tallman was a Civil War Vet – discharged July 8, 1864 – member of GAR Post 209. He for many years was identified with the agricultural element of Walton NY and in the pursuit of his chosen occupation amassed a competence. He was a man of great energy, enterprise and financial ability and occupied an important position among the successful and influential businessmen of Walton. He had a liberal education. At the first call for troops he enlisted in defense of his country in Company I, 72nd NY Volunteer Infantry, being the first volunteer from his town. With his regiment he served in Sicles's Brigade, and was active and courageous participant in many of the most important and decisive engagements of the Rebellion among the earlier ones being the siege of Yorktown, Battles of Williamsburg, Fair Oaks, Seven Pines, and the Peninsular Campaign. He was stricken with fever and sent to the David Island Hospital NY where he remained 5 months. Here joined his regiment at Brandy Station VA and was attached to General Hancock's corps at the battle of the Wilderness, but during the 2nd days fight was wounded and left for dead on the field of battle, which, says Draper, "was throbbing with the wound". He was wounded in the left shoulder and left eye, the ball striking his gun and being shattered, 3 pieces entering his body. He was a courageous soldier and expert marksman and in relating the history of army life often says that, if every Union man had killed as many of his adversaries as he did there would not have been a rebel left to tell his side of the conflict. Among his victims was the rebel who killed the major of his regiment, he shot him 6 times before killing him and being shot at the same number of times by his opponent. He was subsequently sent to the hospital at Fredericksburg, narrowly escaping capture on the way thither. This was within 15 days of the time for the expiration of his term of enlistment, and he was offered a furlough, he proceeded as far as Washington on his way home, but his patriotic impulses were in the ascendant, and he returned to Fredericksburg, starting on foot with hope in striking a train. Arriving at Fredericksburg, he found himself in the rear of Grants Army and followed with his own regiment, which he joined in Cold Harbor. He went into the midst of the fray at that place with his arm in a sling and without fire-arms, but soon procured the latter from the body of a dead comrade. He did heroic duty with his uninjured arm, probably firing as many effective shots as others with the use of both. He next went with his company to Ream's Station at Bermuda Hundred and was subsequently at the siege of Petersburg, this being after his term of service had expired. He was also in the engagement at Weldon Railroad, afterward retiring from active duty, and returned home July 8th 1864. His wound was very painful and gave him much trouble, not healing for more than a year and costing him about $150.00. In 1893, he retired his farm labors and removed into the Village of Walton, where he enjoyed the pleasant leisure to which his previous years of toil entitled him. In politics he was a firm adherent of the Republican party and although not a politician was deeply interested in local and national matters. He belonged to Ben Marvin Post #209, Grand Army of the Republic and was prominent in the Masonic Circles. Born to them were:

HENRY CLAY FERRIS IS RIGHT METTLE FOR SHERIFF JOB

Record As Under-Sheriff Shows His Fitness For Promotion

At the time when gangsters of lesser fame have a way of casually taking leave of prisons of far greater strength and man-power than the Greene County Jail, the man who was second in command of the jail which safely incarcerated eight of the vicious metropolitan Coll gang and three of the slicker Diamond racket men at the same time, may be expected to rate certain recognition at the polls when the ballots are counted in the election of a new Sheriff next month. Since the law forbids the re-election of Sheriff it is the opinion of responsible observers throughout the county that Henry Clay Ferris, undersheriff, upon whom a large share of the responsibility fell in the hectic days of Greene County's own war on crime, is a man keyed to his job and trained in his apprenticeship to the emergencies of the post. It is revealing to note that two of the Vincent Coll hoodlums, transferred to Eastview penitentiary in Westchester county, after entering pleas of guilty here, escaped from there. One, after capture, departed the second time and the other is still at liberty since his first walkout. But artists though they were in the disappearing act, as events proved, neither they nor any other prisoner committed to the sheriff's office during the present administration has departed informally, in spite of the fact that the jail structure itself has been known to be unconfining to prisoners under circumstances of less vigilence. Mr. Ferris aided in the arrest of Jack Diamond in the opening round of the Governor Parks kidnapping case and a few months later was called "to clean up the muss at Aratoga Inn," as Mr. Ferris puts it, after the second shooting of the dapper gangster. These references barely reflect the highlights in a two-year career crowded with duties more perilous and trying than the officers of any previous administration in the history of law and order preservation in Greene County have faced. It is for this that a Sheriff is selected. And when satisfactory execution of such duties is coupled with the most economical conduct of the office in the experience of the county, little more can be hoped in a man's qualifications for promotion. Worthy of note, too, is the business-like air which has pervaded the sheriff's office, which in times previous has been known as something of a rendeavous for hangers-on. In the execution of the civil duties of this office Mr. Ferris points with pride to his satisfactory relations with all with whom he has dealt during the last two years. "If I win in this election I will do no different," Mr. Ferris pledged himself in undertaking the campaign. "I have no other business engagements and am free to devote my whole time to the business of the people of the county. I promise my very best in service." Periodical reports of the State Commission of Correction have been increasingly commendatory in relation to the conduct and maintenance of the jail, the repeated criticism of the housing of village prisoners in the county institution merely redounding to the credit of the administration which is charged with that much more responsibility, Mr. Ferris, like Sheriff Harold R. Every, declares that in the interests of economy, he will assume day and night responsibility for prisoners except for the three months in the summer when it has been found advisable to maintain a night jailer because of the increased calls upon the Sheriff's staff. Born in Ashland, Mr. Ferris was the first supervisor of the town to serve three consecutive terms, and during that period, 1912-18, accomplished construction of the state road from Prattsville to Ashland. His father Clinton Ferris, had served two terms in the Board of Supervisors and was for many years a Republican county committeeman. The man who aspires to be the next Sheriff of Greene county has had a varied career as farmer, a foreman for seven years of the

Breakstone & Levine Creamery in Prattsville and a year on a Nebraska ranch. He proudly claims membership in Mountain Lodge No. 259, F. & A. M., and Athabasca Tribe of Red Men at Catskill. NOTE: Henry Clay Ferris born 31 Aug 1885 and married Mina F. Martin. He was a son of Clinton D. and Maggie C. Stewart Ferris, the son of Dennis Alden & Sarah Frisbie Ferris who was a son of Nathaniel & Nancy Goodyear Ferris who was a son of Gilbert and Phoebe Austin Ferris of Sutton Hollow, Ashland, NY of whom the typist of this article also descends.

Thomas arrived in this country when he was about 6 months old with his parents and siblings. He stayed with his family until he was past his majority, when he joined his brother Samuel, who had engaged in tanning, in Herkimer County, where he remained for 3 years, when he returned to Ashland, married Angeline, and purchased his father’s farm and engaged in farming. There he remained until about 1855, when he moved to North Settlement, on the farm near the church, where he continued to reside until about 1869, when he purchased the 700-acre farm of Col. George Robertson above Union Society. He resided there until about 1890, when he moved to Windham into the home of his father. About two years later the Robertson farm was traded for Brooklyn residential property, which the deceased successfully managed, and it remains as part of the large estate owned by the deceased. Mr. Branaugh was a man of large frame, with an iron constitution. He was accommodating, kind to his neighbors, and willing always to lend a helping hand. In 1893 he represented the town of Windham in the Board of Supervisors, with the same good judgment and care he always used in his own business. “The death of the wife of Supervisor Thomas Branaugh removes a very estimable wife and mother. She had been a very great sufferer for some months, but bore all with quiet patience”. Born to them were:

MISS JOSEPHINE BRANAUGH DIES AT HER WINDHAM RESIDENCE

The death, last Wednesday, April 7, of Miss Josephine Branaugh, the daughter of the late Thomas and Angeline (Ferris) Branaugh, marks the closing of the earthly existence of another of Windham's lifelong residents. For several months she had been in declining health, suffering with a heart ailment. Miss Branaugh born when her parents resided on their North Settlement farm, now owned by Mrs. Julia Johnson. While yet she was a young girl, the family moved to what for many years was known as the Branaugh Farm east of Brooksburg. During her young womanhood her parents purchased and took up their residence on the property, lower Main St. Windham, where they spent their remaining years. The subject of this sketch will be kindly remembered by her neighbors and friends throughout her native town and by those who each summer were sojourners at Cedar Lawn Farm. They admired her for her various traits of character which she displayed in a modest yet thoroughly sincere manner. Her charitable ministrations, which were many and enhanced by her spirit of willingness and courtesy, will be missed. Her natural gifts were moulded by those attributes which are given by the full development of a wholesome natural life. Hers was an unassuming manner, her influence was for good. She possessed a feeling of tenderness for others in their trials and misfortunes. Her self-oblivion, her happiness with her home and the love for those who shared it with her, were prominent in her life. The funeral of Miss Branaugh was conducted from the house on Monday afternoon at two o'clock, interment was in Pleasant Valley cemetery. The Rev. C. F. Robson of the Windham Presbyterian church conducted the services, speaking very fittingly from John, 11:25. "I am the resurrection and the life." A quartette from the choir of that church rendered two appropriate hymns. The floral tributes were beautiful and in profusion. Henry Branaugh, a brother of the deceased, his son, Birdsall, and his daughter, Miss Dora, are the immediate survivors. Besides these there are many other relatives and friends.
