Cromwell, who was the daughter Of Benjamin and Harriet (Jones) Brooks, of Bridgeport, and who was, through her mother, descended from Deputy Gov. William Jones of New Haven, was a lineal descendant of Col. John Jones, the regicide. The assertion was made upon the authority of the Rev. Isaac Jones, and of a common belief in the family, that the above-named Deputy Governor William Jones, of New Haven, was a son of the Regicide. The statement being challenged in a subsequent number of the Record (Vol. III., p. 101), I made such reply (Vol. III., p. 147) as I was able to do from data then at hand. The result of further investigations has convinced me that the Rev. Isaac Jones was wholly in error as to the parentage of his ancestor. In President Stiles' "History of the Regicides," Whalley Goff and Dixwell, page 155, is printed a deposition of Governor William Jones, made October 3, 1705, in which his age was stated to be eighty-one years. He died at New Haven, on 17th October, in the following year; and the inscription on his monument states his age to have been eighty-two. This would fix the year 1624 as that of his birth. In the town records of New Haven is recorded the ante-nuptial contract between Hannah Eaton and her then intended husband, William Jones, dated July 4, 1659, in which she is described as of the Parish of St. Andrew, Holborne, London, Spinster, and he as of the Parish of Martens in the Fields in the County of Middlesex, gent. Having these authentic data, I sent to a friend in London, who, on inspecting the Parish Register at the Church of St. Martins in the Field, discovered the following entry under the head of baptisms: " William Jones, son of David and Jane, bapt. 20 March 1624. I think this sets at rest the question as to the parentage of Governor Jones. Who were the ancestors of this David Jones, it may be interesting to ascertain. Possibly he was related to the regicide. J. P. Pruyn. — A genealogy of the Pruyn family has been begun. All persons who are interested therein, or who can give any information, will please communicate with JOHN V. L. PRUYN, JR., 13 Elk Street, Albany, N. Y. De Meyer.— Henry De Meyer, bapt. Nov., 1692 (see N. V. Gen. and Biog. Record, vol. ix., p. 16), had one daughter Agnes, said by her descendants to have been his only child; to whom by deed executed at about the time of her marriage, in consideration of natural love and affection, he gave one-third of all his land. The deed is recorded in the office of the Secretary of State at Albany. His wife's name was Marian. Agnes De Meyer married Edward Nicoll of New York, merchant. J. O. B.

He mentions in his will all his above-named children except Agnes and Henry (who were probably deceased), and makes provision for his daughter-in-law Bersheba, widow of his son Charles, a child whose name does not appear on the list in the family bible. Saiah, widow of Edward Nicoll, was one of the heirs-at-law of Peter Creighton, formerly of N.Y., unmarried, deceased. j. o. b. Van Tienhoven (Van Tienhoven). — Lucas Van Tienhoven, son of Cornelius Van Tienhoven and Rachel (Vigne) his wife, was a surgeon of repute in the city of New York. He left a will dated April 15, 1706. Proved April 30, 1714, and Recorded in N. Y. Surrogate's office in Liber 8 of Wills, page 337. He names in his will his children, Nicholas, Susannah, Cornelia, Sara, Elizabeth, Cornelius, and the two children of my daughter Rachel dec by her husband John Dumartner. Appoints his wife Katharine, his brother-in-law Adrian Man and his kinsman William Huddleston, executors. Nicholas Thinehoven made his will in 1695, leaving all his property to his wife Mary, he being about to start for Barbados. Mary, his wife, made her will at the same time in his favor. Both wills proved 15th June, 1715, and recorded in N. Y. Surrogate's office, in Liber 8 of Wills, page 348, 349. Letters on both wills granted to Cornelia Delyn. Cornelius Tienhoven, by will dated March 30, 1724, proved July 27, 1737, and recorded in N. Y. Surrogate's office in Liber 13 of Wills, page 88, gives to his son Lucas, or such other one as on his decease may be the eldest, £ in full of his claim as heir-at-law. To his wife Gertry, the remaining part of his estate for life or widowhood, but if she marries, then he gives her one-third of his personal estate, and one-third of the income of his real estate which was to revert with the rest to his children Lucas, Sarah, Barent, and those which by God's grace, I may in future get by my said wife Gertry, etc. Appoints his wife Gertry, his cousin Samuel Pell, and friend Simon Creggier, executors.

The Jarvis Family; or the Descendants of the First Settlers of Massachusetts and Long Island, and those who have more recently settled in other parts of the United States and British America. Collected and Compiled. By George A. Jarvis, George M. Jarvis, William Jarvis Wetmore, and Assisted by Alfred Harding, Hartford, 1879, 8vo, pp. 350+19. With Illustrations (2 1). This is an important and very satisfactory contribution to American Family History. The volume opens with an introduction which treats of the origin, derivation, and orthographical varieties of this surname. This is followed by the genealogical portion of the work which opens with Stephen Jarvis, whose name is first found upon the records of Huntington, Long Island, as early as 1661. This portion of the work has been well prepared, and is illustrated and made entertaining by biographical sketches of distinguished persons bearing the name of Jarvis, and also of many emanating from the maternal line. Most of the well-executed portraits, on steel, which adorn the work are from the graver of the eminent artist, J. C. Butre, of this city. A supplement of nineteen pages, which appears only in a part of the edition, closes the volume before us. We regret that limited time and space both prevent a more extended notice of this excellent work — one which is a monument to the family — and deserves ample patronage. P. Genealogy of the Family of Solomon Drowne, M.D., of Rhode Island; With Notices of his Ancestors, 1646-1879. By Henry T. Drowne, Providence, 1879. 8vo, pp. 16. With two portraits. Genealogy of the Family of Arnold in Europe and America, with brief Notices. By John Ward Dean, Henry T. Drowne, and Edwin Hubbard. Boston, 1879. 8vo, pp. 16, with a portrait. The first named of the above pamphlets is a reprint from the Genealogy of the Russell Family, noticed in The Record for April, 1880. The preparation of this history of the Drowne branch of that family, commencing with Solomon, b. 1753, was from the pen of the worthy ist Vice President of our Society. It has been carefully prepared and will serve as an excellent example for others to follow, and we commend it to their attention. The last-named pamphlet is a reprint from the October, 1879, number, of the New England Historical and Genealogical Register. It is in part documentary in character, and contains a transcript of a manuscript record of the Arnold Family, commencing in 1553, and extending to 1776. Next follows a genealogy of the English Arnold Family, prepared by Mr. H. G. Somerby, for B. G. Arnold, Esq., in 1870. The pamphlet closes with an Account of the descendants of Gov. Benedict Arnold, of Rhode Island, 1662, through his great-grandson Gen. Benedict Arnold. We are indebted to Henry T. Drowne, Esq., for a copy of each of these pamphlets. Act and Bull, is the title of a pamphlet, which might mislead the unwary. A paper was read before the Antiquarian Society of Philadelphia, discussing the method of correctly computing the true anniversaries of old occurrences; to which is annexed a copy of the Bull or Decree of Pope Gregory XIII., dated 24th February, 1582, which directed ten days to be dropped from October 5 to October 15, 1582, and which changed the Fast and Feast days and the Saints' days, to correct the calendar. It may be curious and interesting reading to many of the present day. But John Bull had something to do with this. There is also annexed a copy of the English Act of Parliament in 1751, 24th George II., "for regulating the commencement of the year" (from 25th March, back to 1st January), "and for correcting the calendar." There have been some amendments of this in England, and our Rev. Statutes have fixed the law and rule for the State of New York. We are indebted to Mr. Lewis A. Scott for a copy of the "Act and Bull" thus described, and deem it of value for reference and preservation. A Crosby Family; the descendants of Josiah Crosby and Sarah Fitch—is an interesting sketch of an active branch of a large family, by Nathan Crosby, of Lowell, and published at Lowell, Mass. It embraces more of biography than of genealogy. The portraits are curiously different, and yet all familiar. The work is a fair sample for a sketch of the known branch of any family. M. Genealogies, Necrology, and Reminiscences of the Irish Settlement on the Forks of the Delaware. By Rev. John C. Clyde, A.M. Published by the author, 1879. This is a valuable addition to the early history of our country. The numbers who came from this settlement, now Northampton Co., Penn., into the State of New York exceed our expectation. M. Notes and Queries, a Medium of Intercommunication for Literary Men, General Readers, etc. Published every Saturday in London. Office, 20 Wellington Street, Strand, W.C. The number of September 4, 1880, now before us, is No. 36 of 6th series; each series embracing ten volumes, and covering five years; so that over twenty-five years have elapsed since the commencement of the journal. Its character has improved, both by the skill and experience of its editorial corps, in rejecting frivolous or ill-considered articles, and abbreviating others, and by the improvement of its contributors in the aim, scope, learning, and character of Their condensed, accurate, and often pithy communications. The work has improved also in its wider view, and in the notice it often takes of our American off-shoot. It has become quite an aid to the genealogist, as well as the historian. The General Index for each series increases the usefulness and value of the whole for purposes of reference. They become very convenient for the elucidation of many troublesome questions in literature and history. The advertisement of a General Index for the fifth series expresses correctly the idea: "a store of varied, useful, and amusing information, sorted and labeled, ready for use;" of which (as Brougham said), the "value and utility" were increased tenfold by its capital indexes. Miscellanea Genealogica et Heraldica. New Series. Edited by Joseph Jackson Howard, London. This work, in September, 1880, had arrived at its 32nd No. for Volume III. It continued the publication of curious and interesting genealogies, and of church records, wills, and deeds, with, occasionally, excellent plates. Many of the contributions explain, or relate to the ancestors of Americans. The Centennial Celebrations of the State of New York, prepared pursuant to a joint resolution of the legislature, by Allen C. Beach, Secretary of State, will be deemed valuable by many for the extensive historical gatherings. In its various addresses and details it presents to us a large share of biographical and genealogical records, without which its mere history would sink rapidly out of sight. The Roster of the Battle of Oriskany, p. 144, attempts to preserve the names of men who took part in that important action, and of many of their descendants. The Genealogist, edited by George W. Marshall, LL.D., also published in London, had arrived in July, 1880, to No. 35 of Volume IV. This work contains a large number of historical documents, including a history of the battle of Oriskany, p. 144, and a history of the battle of Oriskany, p. 144. Number of English pedigrees. It is now publishing also one of the Herald's visitations of Lincolnshire, which visitations throw light on American ancestry. Its notices of books are valuable. M. The Historical Collections of the Essex Institute, published at Salem, Mass., reach, during the past year, the seventeenth volume. They embrace a great variety of original matter deserving of publication. The gleanings from English records about New England families, published during the year, open a new and extended field for publication here, and one of much interest. M. The Keyes Family Genealogy is an interesting though imperfect work. We desire to recur to it again, and to notice other works received, which deserve fuller explanation. M. The New England Historic Genealogical Register continues to be published by the Society in Boston, and maintains its highly useful and interesting character. The year 1880 completes its thirty-fourth volume. M. The Magazine of American History, edited by John Anston Stevens, and published by A. S. Barnes & Co., of New York, is known by nearly all our subscribers, and is apparently pursuing a very successful career. M. The Pennsylvania Magazine has nearly completed its fourth volume, sustained by the publication fund of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania. It is well printed on good paper, with embellishments, and embraces in its pages biography and genealogy, as well as history and general science. M. Early Settlers IN KINGS COUNTY, L. I. This undersigned has ready for the press, and will soon publish, in a small edition, a REGISTER Early Settlers and re-holders From its first settlement by Europeans, to 1700; with biographical notices and Families of the Ancients. It will form an octavo volume of about 500 pages, well printed and bound, and the price will be Three Dollars. All who wish copies should send their names, without delay, to George Hannah, Librarian, L.I. Historical Society, Brooklyn, N.Y., or to TEUNIS G. HARRIGAN, BAY RIDGE, N.Y.

WASNING TO THE PUBLIC, The New York Genealogical and Biographical Society hereby cautions the Public in general, and all Literary and Historical Societies throughout the Country, against any and all persons professing to print or publish biographies or genealogies for money, under the name of "The Genealogical Society," "The New York Genealogical Society," "Society of Genealogical and Historical Societies," or any other similar name liable to be understood as that of this Corporation, or soliciting information for such purposes, as certain unprincipled persons have been and are now doing in different States, Cities, and Towns, personally and by letter. This Society does nothing of the kind. Its Magazine, the "New York Genealogical and Biographical Record," is its only publication, and articles are furnished freely by its contributors. THE NEW YORK Vol. XII. NEW YORK, APRIL, 1881. No. 2. RACE IN GENEALOGY AND THE CHINESE EMIGRATION. An Address on the Twelfth Anniversary of the New York Genealogical AND Biographical Society, held February 24, 1881. By Thomas J. Rush, Esq. The problems connected with the early development of the strength and independence of the people of this country we are all familiar with; and in our own day, eloquence and philosophy have united in making their recital of more than ordinary attractiveness. Your own Society has had no small or insignificant share in unfolding, by the careful research and compilation exhibited in its published "Record," the minute and biographic facts relating to earlier times and other men. Through the labor bestowed upon your publications, there has been preserved in authentic form the details of genealogy and biography which not only aid us in understanding many questions concerning the early history of our people, and in tracing the growth of the peculiar phases of its first society, but of extreme importance to the historian who shall seek to elaborate the annals of our public life. Amid the pomp and display attending such anniversaries as have lately occurred, we are apt to lose sight of, or neglect, serious phases of social life, until some startling turn of events withdraws our attention to the more commonplace, yet superior, claims of the day and generation. Of all the questions demanding the examination of the thoughtful citizen, none presents higher claim to his attention than that pertaining to the characteristics of race, as affecting the increasing and diverse population of our favored land. Actual participation in a common danger, and a general similarity of taste and influence, of moral and social, if not of religious life, gave comparative solidity to the mass of the people, in the days of our early trials; and the vitality of the issue at stake, in the struggle of later times, overcame for the moment all diversity of interests among the classes into which our people were divided. Birth and race were lost sight of in the paramount question of the life of the nation. But now, some who lay no claim to the title of "Alannists," see, in the condition of our citizenship, as affected by the adoption thereinto of a distinct race, and by the already large addition of The Mongolian element, a danger at least worthy of careful and dispassionate thought. In a representative form of government, all questions of public economy, at home and abroad, are ultimately referred to and determined by public opinion — the general expression of the determination of thoughtful men.
