PREFACE,

" They throw a flood of light on the genealogies of the diocese of London, and especially of London itself. I regard them as one of my greatest genealogical treasures." — J. L. Chester, 16 Feh., 1880.

" We doubt if a single work treating on pedigrees, or on matters of family reseai'ch, has been published in the English language during the last twenty years which has not benefited by the stores of knowledge accumulated by his unwearied labours." — Academy.

THE fame of Colonel Chester's genealogical collections is, like that of their compiler, world-wide. There are few genealogists or antiquaries of repute, whether in the Old or in the New World, who have not, at one time or another, been indebted to their large-hearted possessor for welcome and highly-prized extracts from these unrivalled treasures.

The Marriage Licences consist of five folio volumes, of about 400 pages each, the entries written out in chronological order, and carefully indexed, from the following offices, viz. : —

The Bisbop of London's Office, 1521 to 1828. Also the Dean and

Chapter of Westminster's Office (all taken), 1599 to 1699 3 vols.

Faculty Office of the Archbishop of Canterbury, 1543 to 1869 1 vol,

Vicar-General's Office of the Archbishop of Canterbury, 1660 to

1679 1 vol.

This magnificent series of extracts, together with his other MSS., were transcribed (in duplicate), it may be explained, (at the sole cost of George E. Cokayne, Esq., Norroy King of Arms) by the late Col. Chester to enable him to annotate, from the information they afford, his celebrated magnum opus on the Registers of Westminster Abbey. There is probabably no page in that siiperb work, unrivalled in modern genealogy, that has not a reference to this wonderful collection.

The following introduction to the Marriage Licences from the Office of the Bishop of London is from the jien of Col. Chester himself : —

"The marriage allegations now in the Bishop of London's Registry do not begin until 7th December, 1597. I extracted the most important of them from that date down to about 1700, while engaged in my work on the Registers of Westminster Abbey. Subsequently I discovered a series of books at the principal registry of probate called ' Vicar General's Books,' which had been trans- ferred from the Bishop's registry, in which are entries of licences issued, beginning 5th January, 1520-1. The whole of these I have copied, and they will be found in the following pages. After 7th December, 1597, the two series are incorporated, and the entries from the ' Vicar General's Books' will be readily recognized by their brevity. The series from 5th January, 1520-1, to 7th December, 1597, is invaluable, as no other record of them exists. It will be seen that the entries of the first eighteen years are anterior to the date of the earliest parish registers, and they, therefore, possess a special value.

yi Preface.

The following extract from a letter by Col. Chester affords a fair example of the practical value of these marriage licences : —

" I suppose that entry of the marriage licence is the only record that exists of Sir William Harper's second wife, and no one would ever find it if he searched for it or think of looking for it where it exists. These entries ai-e scattered through some forty folio volumes among a mass of other records, all in crabbed Latin and entirely unindexed. Seeing the value of them, I commenced going through them some years ago, page by page, and extracted every licence there is — they fill more than two of my folio volumes of four hundred pages each. ... I shall expect you to give me due credit for the discovery of what, I am sure, you would have sought in vain."

Mr. Quaritch, the eminent bookseller, having commissioned me to edit his copy of this valuable MS., I decided to carry out the work on the plan laid down in my " Collectanea Genealogica," viz., the alphabetical plan, so as to keep all possible rivals out of the field. By this arrangement anyone can see at a glance the male entries under a particular name, and as the columns are also numbered instead of the pages, the female names will be less difficult to find from the references in the index. By this plan the annoyance of having to consult four indices will be avoided, an annoyance entailing on students for all time to come a needless waste of time and labour. Such is the unfortunate plan adopted in the Harlein Society's edition, forced by the Council on its its members at a loss of several hundred pounds, reducing the utility of their publication to a minimum,

I should here state that I have adopted a novel style of arrangement by placing the different forms of the same surname under the form ordinarily used, and by inserting the original form in parenthesis, thus as far as jiossible aiding the genealogist in his researches, and at the same time retaining the ancient orthography so highly prized by the student and scholar.

I need scarcely point out to genealogists, lawyers, and students, both historical and biographical, the extreme value of such records as these, yielding, as they do, a fund of absolutely original information. But I may perhaps remind them that Marriage Licences have an interest peculiar to themselves, not only from their mention, most important though it is, of the social status of the contracting parties, but also from the fact that while baptisms and burials can be traced from Parish Registers with com- parative ease, Marriages, on the contrary, from the nature of the case, have often to be sought for far afield. Thus it is that such a collection as this is simply indispensable to working Genealogists and to all real students, supplying them, as it does, readily and promptly, with the evidences of many a missing marriage, and the names of many a wife unknown ; — information which, even with much time and labour, they could other- wise, as they know too well, scarcely, if ever, have obtained.

I am unwilling to allow this opportunity to pass, without attempting to do justice, inadequate though it may be, to the memory of the late Col. Chester, by including, by permission of Mr. J, Ward Dean, of Boston, a reprint, with additions, of his biographical notice of Col. Chester, also to acknowledge, with thanks, the courtesy of Mr. J. J. Latting, of New York, who has supplied copies of Col. Chester's portrait for this edition at prime cost.

MEMOIR

OF

COL, JOSEPH LEMUEL CHESTER, D.C.L. LL.D.

BY

JOHN WARD DEAN, A.M.

Editor of the New England Historical and Genealogical Register. Reprinted by Special Permission.

THE life of the late Col. Chester, whose career has added lustre to the names of genealogist and antiquary, has a peculiar interest for the readers of the Register, in whose pages his writings have often appeared. He was the third son and fifth child of Joseph and Prudee (Tracv) Chester, of Norwich, Connecticut, and was born in that town April 30, 1821. "

His earliest known ancestor in this country was Capt. SamueP Chester, of New London, who removed to that town about the year 1663 from Boston. Samuel Chester was in the West India trade, and in connection with William Condy, who is styled his nephew, received in 1664 a grant of land for a warehouse. " He was," says Miss Caulkins, "much employed in land surveys, and in 1693 was one of the agents appointed by the general court " of Connecticut " to meet with a committee from Massachusetts to renew and settle the boundaries between the colonies."*

Joseph Lemuel Chester was the sixth in descent from Capt. Samuel,^ through John,^ Deacon Joseph'^ and his second wife, Elizabeth Otis, Joseph^ and wife, Elizabeth Lee, and his father Joseph^ above named. His mother, Prudee Tracy, was a daughter of Major Eleazar Tracy, of Norwich, by his wife, Prudee, daughter of Captain Uriah Rogers, of that town. She was descended from Lieut. Thomas Tracy, an early settler of Norwich ; and she inherited also the blood of the Rev. John Rogers, the famous Puritan preacher of Dedham, England, his son the Rev. Nathaniel Rogers, of Ipswich, Mass., the Rev. William Hubbard, author of the History of New England, and other distinguished personages.

Joseph Chester, the father of Col. Chester, was a grocer in moderate circumstances, an honest and upright man. He died at Norwich, January 30, 1832, aged 44 ; but having had a large family of nine children to support, left little property to his widow and children. His eldest son, now the Rev. Albert Tracy Chester, D.D., of Buffalo, was then a student at Union College, Schenectady, N.Y. The next son, Charles Huntington Chester, a youth of sixteen, carried on the grocery store for his mother for two or three years. In 1835 the family removed to Rome, Ohio, where Erastus Chester, a brother of Mr. Chester, resided, and where they took a small farm. Albert was graduated from Union College in 1833, studied for the ministry, and when settled as a clergyman took his younger brothers and sisters successively into his family. Mrs. Chester, the widow, on 6th September, 1837, married the Rev. John Hall, rector of the Episcopalian church at Ashtabula, Ohio.

Joseph obtained his education at the common schools, though possibly he may have attended for a short time the academy at Ashtabula, where his mother resided after her second marriage. One of his teachers, Othniel Gager, who kept the district school at Norwich when Joseph was eight or ten years old, is the present town clerk of Norwich, Ct. Mr. Latting, the author of the excellent Memoir of Col. Chester in the New York

* See Caulkins's History of New London, pp. 145 and 353 ; Hinman's Early Puritan Settlers of Connecticut, pp. 557-9 ; Memoir of Joseph Lemuel Chester, by John J. Latting, in N. Y. Genealogical and Biographical Recoi-d, vol. siii. pp. 149-56.

viii Me7)ioir of Colonel Chester'.

Genealogical and Biographical Record, has seen Mr. Gager, who described his pupil to him as a handsome, bright boy, but he had no remembrance of any peculiar mental traits. That Joseph made himself proficient in his studies at the various schools, is shown by the fact that before he had reached his majority, he himself taught a school. This was at Ballston, N.Y., which is near Ballston Spa, where his brother Albert was first settled as a clergyman. In 1837 he was for a short time a clerk at Warren, Ohio, in the land agency office of Gen. Simon Perkins and the Hon. Frederick Kinsman, the latter of Avhom remembers him as a young man, " tall and commanding in appearance, and very ready as a clerk to comprehend and do what was required of him."

ln'^1838, "being then seventeen years old, he went to New York city, and commenced the study of law. He soon abandoned it for the mercantile profession. He was at one time employed as a clerk by Messrs. Arthur Tappan & Co. in that city, silk merchants, the members of the firm being noted for their enterprise and also for their philanthropic labours. " They were," Mr. Latting writes me, " very strict in the enforcement of a printed set of rules for the moral conduct of their clerks and other employes. They made them all workers in the causes of Temperance and Anti-Slavery." One of the partners, Lewis Tappan, established in 1841 a mercantile agency in New York, and employed Mr. Chester as a clerk.

His literary taste was early developed. While in New York he contributed articles to the newspapers and magazines of the day, " chiefly of a poetic character." The Knickerbocker for January, 1843, contains a poem by him entitled " Greenwood Cemetery," and signed " Julian Cramer." This pseudonym is that by which he became best known ; though he wrote under several other signatures. The Knickerbocker, in which his poem appeared, was then the leading literary magazine in the United States. The same year his first volume, " Greenwood Cemetery and Other Poems," was pub- lished at New York and Boston. The Knickerbocker for March, 1843, has a favourable notice of the book, Avritten, I presume, by the editor, Lewis Gaylord Clark, a competent critic. It states that though the poems had " some faults," which were to be expected in so young a writer, there were in them " marks of a veritable taste and a pleasing imagination, and evidence of an eye that sees and a heart that feels the beautiful in nature, and the bright, tender, or sorrowful in humanity." Mr. Latting states that this volume comprises " fifty -four separate pieces, mostly written prior to attaining his majority. The lines ' On the Death of President Harrison,' ' On the Loss of the Steam- ship President,' and ' The Captives of L'Amistad,' were all composed in his twentieth year." His other early publications are, " A Preliminary Treatise on the Law of Repulsion as a Universal Law of Nature," Philadelphia, 1853; and "Narrative of Margaret Douglas," Boston and Cleveland, 1854.

He also entered the lecture field. In the winter of 1839-40, he lectured before the Mechanics' Institute, as I am informed by Benson J. Lossing, LL.D., the historian, who was chairman of the board of directors of that institution, and who then made Mr. Chester's acquaintance. One of Mr. Latting's correspondents writes to him that he met Mr. Chester while the latter was lecturing on Temperance in western Massachusetts, and Judge Kinsman remembers him as visiting Ohio on a similar lecturing tour.

About the year 1845 he removed to Philadelphia, where he obtained a situation as merchant's clerk. In 1847, and for some years subsequent, his occupation is given in the Philadelphia Directory as a commissioner of deeds. In the years 1848, 1849, and 1850, he was also the musical editor of Godei/s Lady's Book. "In 1852," says Mr. Latting in his Memoir, " he became one of the editors of the Philadelpkia Inquirer and of the Daily Sun, in conjunction with Colonel James S. Wallace. These positions brought him into notice politically, and on the consolidation of the city of Philadelphia, in 1854, he was elected a member of the City Council from the sixth ward, serving in that capacity for one term, commencing May 7, 1855. During several sessions of Congress at Washington, he visited that city as corresponding editor, and a portion of the time of his residence there, he was, through the favour of his friend. Colonel John W. Forney, then Chief Clerk of the House of Representatives, employed as one of the assistant clerks." In one of Col. Chester's letters to me, he mentions having held the last named office in the spring of 1856. He was appointed by the Hon. James Pollock, Avho was governor of Pennsylvania from 1855 to 1858, one of his aids with the military rank of colonel.

While residing at Washington, he was employed to make sale in England of some patents, and in 1858 left his native country. He landed in England on the 6th of September. Various causes prevented him from succeeding in his undertaking ; but he settled in London and made it his residence thereafter till his death. For a time he kept up his connection with the lujwspaper ])ress, and for about three years furnished a

weekly letter from London to the Philadelphia Inquirer. After taking up his residence in England, he made, at least, one visit to the continent, for in one of his letters to me he gives an account of an interview with the Hon. Charles Sumner in March, 1859, in the Museo Borbonico in Naples, and of dining the same evening at the American Minister's. He seldom left England, however, for on the 14th of September, 1872, he wrote me — " I have spent some weeks in Ireland this summer, my first visit there. It was the first real holiday I have taken during the last fourteen years."

It was a tradition in the Rogers family, though the tradition had been rejected by the best New England antiquaries, that his ancestor, the Rev. Nathaniel Rogers, of Ipswich, Mass., son of the Rev. John Rogers, of Dedham, England, was a descendant of the famous John Rogers, the Marian Proto-martyr, whose fate has been made familiar to the children of our land by one of the pictures in the New England Primer. Being in England and having heard the tradition from his youth, he determined to investigate the matter. His researches, however, did not result favourably. On the contrary, he found proof that the Dedham minister, through whom he hoped to trace his lineage, could not have been a descendant of the martyr. This, no doubt, was a sore disappoint- ment to him, as few who pride themselves on their New England blood would not prefer to be descended from John Rogers than from any of the sovereigns of England. But these researches led him to undertake the life of Rogers, as he tells us, in the following words, in the preface to that work —

Personally unsatisfactory as were his labours in tbat direction, they led him into another, and it was not long before he was thoroughly imbued with the conviction that historical justice had never been done to the person whose eventful career forms the subject of these pages. He soon discovered that the only original account concerning him, which had been received as authentic for nearly three centuries, was full of the wildest discrepancies and grossest errors. Modest and humble, unambitious of a record on the common roll of fame, actuated by higher and holier motives than the attainment of a name among men, while he lived, he carefully avoided all appearance of ostentation, and never claimed the honours to which he Avas justly entitled ; while after his death his very memory was rudely thrust aside in order to make room for that of those of his associates who had been, indeed, his official superiors, but who, generally, were infinitely his inferiors, as well in regard to their character and attainments, as to the services which they rendered the church and the world.

This work, under the title of " John Rogers : the Compiler of the First Authorized English Bible ; the Pioneer of the English Reformation ; and its First Martyr," was published in the autumn of 1861. The claims which he made for his hero in the title of the work were abundantly proved in its pages. The book attracted immediate attention, and English and American antiquaries awarded him high honour for his first antiquarian work. It was also the foundation of an acquaintance with Sir Frederic Rogers, Bart., now Lord Blachford. The book was dedicated to him, and the friendship between them became intimate and lasting.

The war of the Rebellion had then broken out. While he was thinking of returning home, he " received a commission from the United States Grovernment for a service which he could render in England,"* and decided to remain in that country.

[" It was during this period that, under the auspices of the then Dean of West- minster, he commenced his researches in the Abbey Registers. He soon became more thoroughly interested — infatuated Avith the work of genealogical investigations. The privilege of access to other public as well as private records had begun to be accorded him. Not without great difficulties, and through prejudices which he patiently over- came, had he obtained the advantages this privilege gave him. A friend, who visited him in the summer of 1881, communicates to me the following facts, substantially as related to him by his host at that time — ' When Colonel Chester commenced his labours, more than twenty years ago, he had to encounter a marked indifference on the part of those who had the custody of the records and papers referring to the emigration to this country. In other words, while they gave much time to the careful preparation of their own pedigrees, they did but little to try and preserve the connecting links with the Puritan descendants emigrating to New England in the early part of the seventeenth century. Again, the professional pedigree searchers, as a class, were not such as commended themselves to the authorities, and it was only after several years hard and faithful service, during which time Colonel Chester had furnished England herself with some of the results of his system, that his merits began to be recognised, and he was then consulted by eminent antiquarians and . genealogists, and his briefs and proofs were put to the test, and became authority in many controverted questions.'

"As early as the year 1866, Colonel Chester had made considerable progress in the

* jMr. Latting's Memoir.

Memoir of Colonel Chester.

Work of investigating, transcribing, and annotating the registers of Westminster Abbey, and it was in connection with this work that the ' Marriage-allegations in the Bishop of London's Registri/,'' a sealed book to all prior investigators, were opened to him. This and other like favours and privileges were accorded him partly through the influence of his personal friend, the late Dean Stanley, but undoubtedly, in great measure, fhrongh the apjjreciation which now l)egan to l)e publicly felt of the benefits to accrue to English liistory and biography from his investigations. As Colonel Chester stated to our informant at the interview above alluded to, he was now given ' access, without being su])ject to the surveillance of attendants or the customary fees, to the British Museum, Westmister Abbey, and Somerset House.' " — Memoir by J. J. Latting, Esq.']

It was natural that one who had met with such decided success in antiquarian and genealogical researches should continue to prosecute them. On the 24th of October, 1862, he thus wrote to the Rev. Caleb Davis Bradlee, of Boston —

I have been fortunate enough to obtain free access to Doctors' Commous, and am preparing to make thorough investigations among the wills of that famous repository. My admission as a "Literary Inquirer" enables me to examine all wills recorded previous to 1700, and to make any extracts I choose, or even to copy the vrhole vyills. Hitherto, as you are doubtless aware, we could only looli at a single will by paying a fee of 25 cents, and then were not suffered to make so much as a note on our finger nails. The regulation is a new one, and the number to whom permission is granted will be very limited.

I am now devoting all my leisure to examining the wills from 1600 to 1650, and shall go back to the earliest date and down to 1700, designing to use such information as I may acquire for my own literary purposes. There is no doubt but that much which has been indistinct in the genealogy of the early settlers of New England will be cleared up by a careful examination of these wills.

He continued for twenty years to collect materials illustrating the ancestry of American families in the mother country. In the meantime he made special searches for clients, and investigated the English ancestry of noted Americans. The result of each research he arranged and wrote out carefully. Some of these monographs have been printed by himself or others ; but probably the greater number remain in manuscript in the hands of his clients. They are characterised by fullness and minute- ness of detail, the I'esult of the most persistent and thorough research. Among them may be named the Wentworth, Hutchinson, Marbury, Tildeu, Pelham, Dummer, Baldwin, Wheelwright and Ferneley families. The Wentworth research, for the Hon. John Wentworth, LL.D., of Chicago, was a marvel of completeness. His early investigations are embodied in an article in the Register in April, 1868 ; but the full results of his labours did not appear till the two editions of the Wentworth Genealogy were published in 1871 and 1878. It would be difficult to name any Wentworth of prominence in English history or literature whose ancestry is not given in that book. The Tildeu pedigree, for the Hon. Samuel J. Tilden, ex-governor of New York and Democratic candidate of the Presidency of the United States in 1876, is, Col. Chester wrote me October 17, 1873, "the most complete in its minuteness that I have ever done." The Wheelwright, Hutchinson, Marbury, Pelham and Dummer genealogies have appeared in the Register, and the Baldwin will be printed in it this year. The Ferneley research, made for the late Joseph Ballard, of Boston, filling ten closely written foolscap pages with precise information, is in the possession of the New England Historic Genealogical Society.

He delighted to grapple with difficulties which had foiled other antiquaries. When a genealogical mystery was cleared up by him, he did not often rest satisfied till he had traced the connections of the person w4iose history he was tracing through all their ramifications. In a letter of January 6, 1872, he writes that one of the most eminent English genealogists, whom he names, had recently appealed to him in a genealogical matter, after he had exhausted all his own resources, and Col. Chester adds with pride that he was a])le to "help him out of his difficulties." Many instances of similar success could be named, l)ut I will refer to only three — one whose interest is co-extensive with English literature, and two in which it is confined to Americans.

1. For a long time the surname of the mother of the poet Milton had been a puzzle for his biographers. In the words of one of them. Prof. Masson, the problem had " been waiting unsolved by native ingenuity for two hundred years." Even Edward Phillips, Milton's own nephew, gave a wrong surname ; Caston, and John Aubrev, the antiquary, called her a Bradshaw. Col. Chester proved that her maiden name was Jelferys. The evidence by which he arrived at this result he communicated to the London Athenaum,

Memoir of Colonel Chester. xi

Nov. 7, 1868, and Mr, Latting gives a good abstract in his Memoir.* Prof. Masson accepted the result, and, in announcing it, styled Col. Chester "a Hercules of genealogy."

2. The parentage of Mrs. Anne Hutchinson, the friend of Sir Henry Vane, whose religious zeal and skill in controversy had set the infant colony of Massachusetts ablaze, had been hopelessly sought by our genealogists (see Register, xvii. 65). Col. Chester proved that she was the daughter of the Rev. Francis Marbury, of London, and that her mother, Bridget Dryden, was a sister of Sir Erasmus Dryden, Bart., the grandfather of the poet Dryden.

3. The maiden name of Mrs. Mary Norton, the wife of the Rev. John Norton, of Boston, and the liberal benefactor of the Old South Church (her bequest of landed property having made that church one of the richest in this city), had foiled all the efforts of our genealogists, not even a clue having been obtained. Col. Chester proved that she was Mary, the third daughter of John Ferneley of West Creting, by his wife Temperance, daughter of Sir Miles Corbet, and that Miles Corbet, famous in English history, was her own cousin, while two of her great aunts were wives of two of the most eminent statesmen of their day, Sir Nicholas Bacon and Sir Thomas Gresham.

Col. Chester, in his letter to" the Rev. Mr. Bradlee, refers to the extracts he was then making from the wills at Doctors' Commons, now at vSomerset House, London. He availed himself also of many other sources of genealogical information. Prominent among them are the Parish Registers, of which at his death he left eighty-seven folio volumes of extracts, of more than 400 pages each. Seventy of these volumes are carefully indexed. f The Manuscripts of the Rev. Matthias Candler, the Puritan vicar

* " In the early part of the month of November, 1868, in the course of his investigations. Colonel Chester accidentally discovered, in the Bishop of London's Registry of Marriage Allegations, the first link in the chain of evidence which disclosed the parentage of the mother of the poet Milton, ' a problem,' says Professor Masson, in his recently published second edition of the ' Life of MiltoD,' ' that had been waiting imsolved by native ingenuity, for two hundred years.' The most that had been previously known with certainty was that her Christian name was Sarah. John Aubrey, ' antiquarian and gossip,' who had been personally acquainted with Milton, and who furnished Anthony Wood, also Milton's contemporary, with the materials for the first published memoir of the poet, included in the ' Athense et Fasti Oxonienses,' says she was a ' Bradshair,' giving, in connection with this statement, a pedigree of the Bradshaw family, with their coat-of- arms. Then followed Edward Phillips, Milton's own nephew and pupil, and naturally presumed to have known who his own grandmother was, and who, writing in 1694, calls her Sai-ah, of the family' of the Castons, derived originally from Wales, a woman of incomparable virtue and goodness.' But, from the year 1610, there had existed in the Parish Register of Allhallows, Bread Street, London, where Milton's father and bis family resided, the following entry, not unknown to later pedigree huntei's: 'The 22nd day of February, A° 1610, was buried in this Parish, Mrs. Ellen Jefferys, the mother of Mr. John Mylton's wife, of this parish.' Upon this apparently more official authority, later biographers asserted that the poet's mother must have been a Jcffery, but of an unknown and unidentified family.

" These accounts continued to puzzle the numberless biographers of the great poet until our own time, when, as Professor Masson forcibly expresses it, ' Into this most unsatisfactory Bradshaw- Caston-Jefferys imbroglio there has descended a Hercules of Genealogy. It was in 1868 that Colonel J. L. Chester, the Editor and Annotator of the Registers of Westminster Abbey, whose researches into the histories of English families are probably more miscellaneous and thorough than those of any other living man, came accidentally upon a record definitely connecting Milton's mother with a Jefiiry stock; and, of late, devoting a good deal of his time and skill to the investigation, expressly on its own account, he has succeeded in clearing up the whole subject to a degree beyond former hope.'

"Want of space in the present paper will not allow fuller particulars of Colonel Chester's discovery. They will be found detailed at length in a communication published by him in the London Athenanan of November 7, 1868, and also in a subsequent issue of the same paper of May 29, 1880, and embodied in Professor Masson's last edition of the first volume of the ' Life of Milton.' It may be sufficient to say that these discoveries clearly disclose the fact that she was Sarah, the eldest daughter of Paul Jeffrey, citizen and merchant tailor of London, and of a family of that name in East Hanningfield, Essex.

" We may well conceive that of this discovery Colonel Chester was reasonably proud. The full honour and distinction of its accomplishment are wholly his, and we doubt not will continue to be cheerfully accorded him so long as the great English poet's life and works shall be known and read." — From Memoir by J. J. Latting, Esq.

f These eighty-seven volumes of Parish Register extracts form the first of the nine series of Col. Chester's manuscripts in the lists prepared by Mr. Cokayne, his executor, the substance of which b'st will be appended to this memoir. Of the nine series, the second, third, and fourth have been sold, while the sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth are not for sale. Col. Chester's library was sold at auction in London, April 17-20, 1883, by Sotheby, Wilkinson & Hodge.

The Parish Registers, mentioned in the text, are said to be the most valuable series of the above manuscripts. A more particular description will be found in the list just referred to. They had not been sold when I last heard from Mr. Cokayne. It would be a fitting tribute to the memory of one

In 1862 he sent to the Register, of which 1 was tiic editor, an article on the " Ko<rers Genealogy and the Candler Manuscript," meaning the volume in the Ilarleian MSS., British Museum, which had heen made known to New England readers hy the Kev. Joseph Hunter and Mr. Horatio G. Somerhy. In 18GG Col. Ciiester learni'd that there were two other volumes by Candler in the Tanner M88., Bodleian Library, and in July visited Oxford, "where he spent a week. He wrote me the result of his discoveries in a letter dated the 30th of that month. An extract from this letter is printed in my " Memoir of Nathaniel Ward," page 122. In the summer and fall of 1869 he spent several weeks at Oxford, and on the 19th of October wrote that the two Candler volumes, which he had been having copied, were finished ; adding, " I have found two more volumes in his handwriting, relating to Suffolk people exclusively, not pedigrees, but personal sketches, copies of monuments, etc., which I am copying. They will all be very valuable."

The Matriculation Register of the University of Oxford is another source from which he gathered information. On the 2nd of March, 1866, he wrote me from Oxford—

I have been very hard at work here day and night. I am making a complete copy of the Matri- culation Registers of the University, from 1564 to 1750, permission having been kindly afforded me. There will bo more than one hundred thousand entries, name, parentage, residence, age, &c. It will be invaluable, as such a list never will be jirinted. I have already identified members of our early New England families, and among other things settled the ancestry of the famous Anne Hutchinson, as well as completed my chain of evidence disproving the Washington pedigree.

On the 16th of October, 1869, he wrote from Oxford that he Avas there, and would remain till Christmas, and would complete his cojiy of the Matriculation Register to that year ; " so that," he adds, " I shall have it perfect for over three hundred years."

The Old Marriage Allegations in the Bishop of London's Register, extending from 1598 to 1710, furnished him another source from which he drew his information. He wrote me August 29, 1868, that he had completed his examination, and had secured " no less than thirty-five hundred choice extracts."

I shall not attempt to specify the variety of materials illustrating the family history of England, chiefly in the seventeenth century, which he collected, methodically arranged and indexed. A genei'al idea may be obtained from the list of manuscripts appended to this Memoir.

The work to which he devoted a large portion of his time during his residence iu England, was an annotated transcript of the Registers of Westminster Abbey. It was no doubt owing to this undertaking that free access to many parish and other records which we have referred to, was accorded to him. At first he contemplated only a partial transcript, but at the suggestion of Dean vStanley he was induced to enlarge his plan. On the 9th of November, 1867, he Avrote me, "I think I told you that I am engaged in preparing for the press and annotating the entire Register of Marriages, Baptisms and Burials in Westminster Abbey. I am quite proud of this work." On the 13th of the next month he wrote —

My labour on the Abbey Registers is excessive, and likely to be protracted, though I confine my notes simply to the identification of the parties. Still, it is a labour of love, and it is surely some- thing for an American to be proud of, thus to have his name perpetually connected with the glorious old Minster.

His letters abound in references to this work, the progress he had made, and the new materials which had been opened to him. June 17, 1871, he wrote me —

A paper of mine was read before the Historical Society last Monday, a copy of which I will send you as soon as printed. That paper will show you one of the causes of my slow progress with my Abbey Book. 1 had paid no attention to the Royal Family, supposing that if the history of any

of the most uueelfish antiquaries that ever lived, if these manuscripts could be purchased for some public institution in this country, where they would be kept together. Mr. Cokayne says of them : " Judging from the price which MSS. of this nature have fetched during recent years, it is more than probable that, if sold (by auction or otherwise) separately, they would command, at the lowest calculation, au average price of £50 a volume (£1,35U) ; but as it is wished, for the sake of doing honour to their great and indefatigable collector, to keep them together, the whole series is now offered as one collection at a very considerably less rate, viz., £3,000 net (which is the minimum Bum that Mill be taken), being less than £35 a volume." [The College of Arms acquii-ed these manuscripts in 18SG. — J. F.]

family was thoroughly knowTi it was that. And yet the second burial in the Abbey Register, when I reached it, I found to be entirely wrong, and it cost me a month's labour to set it right. These interruptions delay me very much, but I still hope to go to press this year.

On the 4tli of May, 1872, he wrote —

Yes, every day's delay tends to make my Abbey Book more perfect, and as it is i^robably the great work of my life — my legacy to the nation — and as I mean it to be a standard book for ever, I am not sorry for the delay. I am constantly at work on it, and as constantly im- proving it.

lu the spring of 1874 his work was sufficiently advanced to make arrangements for its publication. On the 11th of April he wrote that he had presented it to the Harleian Society, and that it would appear as one of its serials. About two weeks later, on the 24th, he informed me with gratification that the Queen had that week accepted the dedication of his book, an honour " not often accorded." On the 30th of May he writes more fully on this subject —

It seemed proper, as my book is a national work, that it should be dedicated to the head of the nation. I left the matter to Dean Stanley whether I should dedicate it to him or whether he thought the Queen should be asked, and I knew nothing more of it until I received her formal per- mission through her private secretary.

On the 16th of May, before the last letter, but after the Queen had accepted the dedication of his book, to which patronage he attributed the favour granted to him, he wrote —

The Lords of the Treasury have jnst given me free access to the wills at Doctors' Commons of the last century, my present privilege only extending to the year 1700 — the only thing I yet wanted to perfect my book. This is a concession never before granted to anybody. Dean Stanley and I have been trying for it for the last five years, and have only just succeeded.

The next year he commenced printing his book, and sent me a proof of the first pages, August 28, 1875. Progress in the printing is frequently noted. On the 10th of March, 1876, he writes —

My Abbey volume has been some time all printed, making 526 pages of text. Its issue is only delayed by the index, a most important feature, on which I have now been at work four weeks, twelve hours a day, and it will occupy me at least a fortnight longer. I hope to forward the volume some time next month.

In 1876 the work was issued as the tenth volume of the publications of the Harleian Society. A small edition was printed separately for presents to the author's friends. The work more than met the high expectations that had been raised. The English and American press spoke highly of its merits. The London Times of Sept. 1, 1876, devoted three and a half columns, and the Morning Post of Nov. 2, more than a column to a review of the work. The Times said —

Throughout the whole of this huge volume, with its profusion of names, illustrious or obscure, it is only at rare intervals that a case is to be found of which the industry of its annotator has failed to obtain some particulars. Such a happy result has been secured by protracted investiga- tions possible only to an antiquary industrious beyond his fellows. The wills at Somerset House, the marriage records preserved in the various offices belonging to the Sees of London and Canterbury, the matriculation registers at Oxford — all these have yielded up their dead ; and from such original research Col. Chester has amassed a wealth of biographical illustration almost without parallel for novelty and accuracy.

The London Morning Post said —

There is scarcely a family of rank and position which may not learn something — some out-of- the-way fact or incident of interest — from the prodigious amount of accurate information here provided by Colonel Chester, who is thoroughly and completely master of his subject. When it is borne in mind how inexact many persons have been and are as regards dates, how one mis- statement (made often not intentionally, but through carelessness and to save trouble) is handed on, repeated and enlarged, writers of general or personal history cannot but be gx-ateful for this admirable work. Colonel Chester brings to light facts which have been forgotten ; tracks out errors and inaccuracies, which have had a long life, with, unceasing care ; and provides in this book a monument of his painstaking industry and patient self-sacrifice. As long as Westminster Abbey lasts his name will be remembered because of this magnificent work.

The warm encomiums given it on its publication have been repeated by the press and individuals since his death. B. Beedham, Esq., of Ashfield House, Kimbolton, an English antiquary of note, in a recent letter to me writes — " These Registers were worthy of the most ample illustration, and at his hands they received it to an extent which has never been accorded to any similar records. He has thus added a page to the

xiv Memoir of Colonel Chester.

history of the church, so splendid and so rich in associations, to which every intelligent countryman of his directs his earliest steps on visiting the land of his forefathers."

Col. Chester was justly gratified hy the manner in which his book was received. On the 22nd of Deceml)er, 1H76, he wrote me —

I have something like two hundred letters of tho most complimentary and appreciative character, from the best men in the country, and am amply repaid for all my labour. The Queen sent mo a kind message some daj-a ago, through the Dean of Westminster, with her " sincere thanks " for my " valuable and interesting volume." On my return home yesterday I found from her a copy of the Life of the Prince Consort (written by Mr. Theodore Martin under her direction) with her autograph inscription, " To Colonel Chester, from Victoria R."

On the 26th of January, 1877, he wrote —

You will be pleased to hear that the Queen has just sent me the second volume of the Life of the Prince Consort, with, as before, her autograph presentation inscription (only this time she signs her name '' Victoria R. & I."') and this kind message, " that she has not been forgetful of your labours, and wishes you to understand how much she appreciates them."

On the 9th of March, 1878, he writes with equal pleasure that he had received from the Queen the third volume of that work. Mr. Lattiug has sent me a copy of the letter of Dean Stanley accompanying the book, which is as follows —

Deanery, Westminster.

My dear Col. Chester :

I have been graciously commanded by the Queen to send you the .3rd volume of the Prince

Consort's Life. It may please you the more because it is entirely the Queen's own thought — the more

remarkable at this moment when her mind must be so much occupied by the overwhelming anxieties

of public affairs.

I have not myself seen the Queen, having been kept at my house by a troublesome cold, which is, I

trust, at last giving way.

You will remember that yesterday was the 2nd Anniversary of the eclipse of my life.* March 2, '78. Yours sincerely, A. P. Stanley.

A few years later, December 31, 1881, he informed me with pride that a handsome card-tray, made from old oak taken from Westminster Abbey, had been sent him as a Christmas present by the Dean and Chapter.

In the preface to his Abbey book he made the following announcement —

It may be as well to add that the Editor has a large collection from which he may eventually decide to print a list of such persons as were probably buried in the Abbey, but whose names do not appear in the Registers, with the evidences ; and also that, if his life is spared a few years longer, he intends to embody in a supplement such important information as he may acquire respecting the persons named in the present volume, and especially concerning the few still unidentified.

Such a volume would have been a valuable supplement to his great work, but unfortunately he did not live to compile it. Nor did he finish the other work on which he bent all his energies after the publication of his Westminster book, and which he refers to in the following extract from a letter dated Dec. 2, 1876 — "I am devoting all my leisure time to working up the immense amount of Washington material I have collected, and clearing away the rubbish. I have now the means to explode utterly the South Cave theory, which has always been a giant in the way. I believe I have the clue to the President's real ancestry, but I some time ago made up my mind not to say or print anything more on the subject until I can lay the subject complete before the world." Though he was not able to finish these works, he found time, however, to edit several volumes for the Harleian Society, the titles of which will be found in the list of his writings appended.

His labours were soon recognized by the learned societies. The earliest to bestow its honours upon him was, I think, the New England Historic Genealogical Society, which elected him a corresponding member in 1862. He was elected to the same membership in the New York Genealogical and Biographical Society in 1871. From the title-page of his Westminster volume we learn that he was also an honorary or a corresponding member of " the Historical Societies of the States of Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Maryland, Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Connecticut, and Minnesota," in this country. In England he was one of the founders of the Harleian Society, and a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society. He was a

member of the councils of both societies at their organisation, and held that office in the former society till his death. In October, 1880, he was elected an honorary memVjer of the Historic Society of Lancashire and Cheshire. He was doubtless a member of other learned societies in England and America.

He was also the recipient of academic honours. In the spring of 1877, the late Evert A. Duyckinck, A.M., the senior author of the " Cyclopa;dia of American Literature " and one of the trustees of Columbia College, New York, wrote to me that it was contemplated by this college to honour Col. Chester with a degree. In writing to my friend I hinted this to him, but without naming the college. He replied on the 11th of May that he should value highly such a recognition by an American college, as it would show that his work was appreciated by his countrymen. He then adds, " There has been an intimation to the same effect here." After the degree of LL.D. was con- ferred on him by Columbia College, he wrote July 10, 1877, to me —

I appreciate this honour for three reasons : First, because it proves that the px'ophet is not always without honour even in his own country. Secondly, because it was in New York, and almost under the shadow of this college, that I began my manhood career nearly forty years ago. Thirdly, because I know, as you say in your kindly note in the Transcript, that Columbia College has always been very sparing and discriminating in conferring its highest honours.

The intimation to which he refers in his letter in May, was doubtless a degree from Oxford. This, four years later, he received, for on the 22d of June, 1881, that ancient University conferred its highest degree, D.C.L., upon him, " in acknowledg- ment," says Mr. Latting, "of his services as a genealogist ; the first and only instance, it is understood, in which that degree was given for such a cause." For this honour Col. Chester was profovuidly grateful.

In March, 1850, a portrait of him, with his autograph, "Julian Cramer," appeared in Godey^s Lady's Booh. In 1874 I met with this portrait, and wrote him to that effect, adding that I could see little resemblance in it to the photograph taken in 1869, which he had sent me. He replied Feb. 7, 187i —

The portrait you mention was considered a good one when it was engraved, now some twenty-four or five years ago, when I was of course so many years younger. I now wear my hair and beard differently, whicb naturally alter one's appearance. I suspect that portraits taken at an interval of a quarter of a century would seldom exhibit much similarity, unless one had some strongly marked features.

Of this portrait Dr. Lossing, the well-known author referred to in the beginning of this Memoir, wrote me, December 28, 1883 —

Col. Chester presented me with his engraved portrait when it was first published. He was then about twenty-nine years of age. His almost black hair and whiskers were close cut. The latter ex- tended under his chin. He had no moustache, and his chin was shaven. He wore a "turn-down" collar, and was enveloped in a cloak.

The portrait which embellishes this Memoir is from a photograph taken at Oxford in 1881, when he received his degree. It was engraved for the New York Genealogical and Biogi-aphical Record, to accompany Mr. Latting's Memoir in that periodical, October, 1882.

Time works great changes in the features of an individual, but seldom so great as is shown by these three portraits. A friend, after comparing them together, remarked that he could not see a single feature that was the same in all ; and yet the portraits have all been pronounced good likenesses. The mind, however, looks out from each of them. At twenty -nine we see a fair brow and an eye full of hope and confidence ; at forty-eight we notice that time has stamped a deeper impression on the features ; and at sixty the full character is written on the face and brow. I, myself, never saw Col. Chester, but from all descriptions which I have heard or read, it is evident that he was a fine looking man and had a commanding presence. Dr. Lossing writes —

I first met Col. Chester as a lecturer in New York. He was then a very handsome, finely propor- tioned young man in the nineteenth year of his age. From that time we met occasionally and kept up an occasional correspondence until he went to Europe. Our acquaintance was kept bright chiefly through letters ever afterwards. Our personal intercourse was very slight. We were wide apart, geographically, most of the time. The last time I saw him was in Harper's Building, New York, the year before he went to England. For years after that I lost trace of him. Two or three years before the appearance of his Westminster Abbey book, I received letters from him, and from that time until the year before his death we corresponded briefly at rather wide intervals. When his Westminster book was published he sent me a copy. His letters were warm and sympathetic, and

Menioii' of Colonel Chester.

I folt it a privilege to be remembered iu his list of friends. One of the earliest tokens of his regard for me was a copy of his " Greenwood Cometory and Other Poems," presented to me soon after its appearance in 1813. My brief personal acquaintance with him and our exchange of epistles taught nie to esteem him very highly as a most genial, generous, scholarly and every way attractive man.

The Rev. Alcxaiulor B. Grosart, in dedicating to him, iu 1869, his edition of the Poems of Sir John Beaumont, thus addresses him —

I like you for your English Puritan name and for your English face — that of " a brave gentleman" all of the oldon time ; I like you for your right good service in writing for the first time adequately, the Life, a supremely noble and beautiful one, of " John Rogers," Proto-martyr of England under Mary ; I like you as an American proud of your lineage and unmixed English descent ; and I like you for your catholic literary sympathies and brotherhood.

George W. Marshall, LL.D., F.S.A., the founder and for seven years the editor of The Genealogist, pul)lished in the number of that quarterly for July 1882, an appre- ciative Memoir of his friend Col. Chester. He thus describes him —

Hie personal appearance was in every way characteristic. Tall, of stout build, well proportioned, with long flowing gray beard, and a peculiarly kindly expression of countenance, he naturally pre- possessed those with whom he came in contact at first sight, and his quiet, unobtrusive manner at once commanded respect. Generous and genial in disposition far beyond most men, he was at the same time highly sensitive, and felt keenly any want of gratitude on the part of those who obtained his assistance in their researches, while, on the other hand, the most trivial attention shown him waa accepted and valued with childlike simplicity and delight. Ever ready to afford to anyone who asked him all the aid which his large collection could supply, he spent half his time in replying to the in- quiries of his numerous correspondents, and it was rarely, however much trouble it involved or time it took, that the desired information was not supplied by return of post. The only return he expected, though for that he never asked, was thanks.

He was always ready, as Dr. Marshall says, to help his brother antiquaries. The author of a biographical sketch in the Neio Monthly Magazine, published during his lifetime, also says : " The accumulations of more than twenty years .... are generally known to be at the service of anyone requiring them for legitimate historical purposes ; and it will be found that scarcely a modern book appears relating to biography, genealogy, county or parish history, that is not more or less indebted to him." This many of us know to be true in our own cases, and the numerous acknowledgments to him which we meet with in books, are additional confirmations of the fact.

He had a keen intellect, great versatility of talent and a ready command of language. He expressed himself forcibly, and did not hesitate to say what he thought. His readi- ness of expression is shown by his letters and other manuscripts, which are written in a free, legible and uniform hand, with hardly an erasure or interlineation.

His truthfulness was conspicuous. He would not encourage the pretensions of those who sought to connect themselves with the gentry of England when no evidence could be found to favour it ; and he had no patience with those who pandered to the vanity of such persons. At the request of an acquaintance I wrote to Col. Chester asking him to prepare a chapter on " The Armorial Insignia of American Families," for a Avork which that gentleman had undertaken. I stated that it was desired that the whole truth should be told. He replied March 25, 1881 —

I have been in doubt whether it would be politic in me to write an article that would place me in such open antagonism with so large a portion of my countrymen whom I know to be claiming and using armorial bearings to which they have no shadow of right. The truth is that they do not wish to be undeceived, and will not only not thank mc for undeceiving them, but will be angry with me for having done so. I have had experience of this already, in a number of cases in wliich I have dealt with the matter in detail.

No statements I can make, however fortified, will convince the descendants of a score of families which I could name, that they have no more right to the arms they claim and use than they have to the royal coat of England, and yet I know that it is true.

He finally consented to write the chapter ; but the projected work was abandoned before he had begun to write the article.

He was proud of the land of his birth, and loved to have his countrymen call on him, and delighted in showing them his M'onderful collections. No one visited him without carrying away an exalted opinion of the man and his work. He wished to be known as an American, and rejoiced that he was able to do honour to his country by his pen ; and yet, perhaps, a residence of twenty years and upwards in England had assimilated him more than he was aAvare to the people with whom he lived. The late S. VVhitney riiaMiix, in giving an account, iu a letter to his friend Henry T. Drowne, of New York, September 21, 1880, of a pleasant visit to Col. Chester, pronounces him "• a thorough Englishman iu speech and manner," Such assimilation is not luifrequent.

Memoir of Colonel Chester. xvii

As to his residence in London, his earliest letters to me do not give it, his address being to the care of Mr. Moran, of the American Legation. 1\\ 1865 it was "14, George's Terrace, Bhio Anchor Road, Bermondsey." He removed to " 16, Linden Villas," in the same street, in April, 1870, on the 16th of which month he writes me —

I have been in sad confasion for the last fortnight, moving, and have but just got settled in my new quarters, where I hope to remain permanently. I have fitted up my library to my own taste, and write this from it. If you ever come to see me, as I hope you may, I think you will say I am very cosy and comfortable.

This lionse he made liis liome till his death, twelve years later, though in December, 1878, the name of the street was changed to Southwark Park Road, his number being 124. On the 30th of that month he writes —

I change my address, happily, thanks to the authorities, without changing my residence, and the new name of my street is so distinctive that I am able to drop the " Linden Villas " and " Bermondsey " altogether, much to my own satisfaction, and greatly to the relief of my correspondents.

The close of his life and his funeral rites are thus described l>y Dr. Marshall in his Memoir —

Incessant work, and the sedentary life which it enforced, naturally told on what was to all appearances a robust constitution, but till within a few weeks of his demise, the gout, from which he frequently suffered, was his only serious complaint. He spent a fortnight last Christmas, as he had been in the habit of doing during the most of his residence in England, at the house of his friend, Mr. Cokayue, and seemed, though perhaps a little less active, much in his usual health and spirits.* In February he was attacked by his old enemy the gout, and though he did not rally as soon as usual, nothing serious was anticipated till the end of April, when his medical attendant, Mr. Cooper, suspected that he was suffering from disease of the nature of internal tumour. On the 5th of May, Sir James Paget, and Dr. Moson, of Guy's, examined him, and pronounced the case to be that of a cancerous tumour in the stomach of considerable size and long standing, but not of necessity imme- diately fatal. Those, or some such words, were told him by Sir James, and since tliat time he seemed to lose all heart, and I believe never wrote a lino more. He continued, howevei", to sit up in his library on an invalid couch, and though his voice became feeble, was able to converse with his friends till the 23rd of May, when, though weak, he appeared much as usual ; but on that night came an attack of bronchitis, then an abscess in the throat, and though he appeared to recover from both of these, soon after midnight his strength gave way ; and on the 25th he gradually sank, and at 10 a.m., on the 26th, expired.

On the last day of the month his funeral, which was of a private character, took place at Nunhead Cemetery ; a large number, however, of his poorer neighbours (among whom he had so long resided, and to whom he had ever been a liberal and most kind benefactor) were present. The American Embassy was represented by Mr. E. S. Xadal, one of the Secretaries of Legation. The service was read by Dr. Bradley, Dean of Westminster, who thus, on behalf of himself and his Chapter, testified the respect due to one who had done so much towards illustrating the history of their glorious Abbey.

Nothing more remains to be told, unless it be to add that of the many good qualities exemplified in his life, his genial disposition was the most striking. Having acquired knowledge himself, by im- parting it to others he made the best possible use of it, and thus derived the ti-uest and noblest enjoy- ment from its possession. In this respect he has left behind him a bright example and taught a use- ful lesson. Hia too early death has caused a general and heartfelt feeling of sorrow amongst all whose good fortune it was to come in contact with him. We shall see his kindly face no moi-e, no longer learn our work imder his able guidance, and though we cannot wish to recall him from the reward of a life well spent and of work well done, our heart is still human, and

" It mourns that dust should part."

In 1876, he wrote to his early employer, Judge Kinsman, of Warren, Ohio, in a letter accompanying a presentation copy of "his Westminster book, that he had been pro- mised by Dean Stanley that, if the dean outlived him, he should have a place in the Abbey. This would have been pleasing to his friends. Next to this a tablet to his memory in the " glorious old minster " as he called it, has been placed there by the Dean and Chapter, see next page.

The life of Col. Chester adds another proof to the many with which literature abounds, that great things may be accomplished when the energies are concentrated on a single object and the powers of mind are equal to the undertaking. He had not the advantage of an early antiquarian training. Till he arrived in England in his thirty- eighth year, we do not learn that he had attempted anytliing in the line in wliich he

afterwards distinguished himself.* The capacity and taste for what was to hecome here- after his life-work no doubt Avere in him, though undeveloped, and he soon placed hinself in tlie front rank of antiquaries. Wlien he died it is acknowledged that he had no superior as a genealogist among English-speaking people ; and his reputation had been steadily increasing. He had gained the position which he had long laboured for ; but he was not permitted to enjoy it many years. In the midst of his activity and usefulness his work Avas arrested, as his friend Dr. Marshall has told us. Another friend, Joseph Jac^kson Howard, LL.D., F.S.A. the editor of Miscellanea Genealogica et Henildica and his co-worker in the Harleian Society, in a letter dated July 10, 1882, thus describes his condition in the last days of his life —

I saw poor Chester three days before he went to rest. He was quite prepared for the change, and seemed, and I fully believe was, at peace with all. He then told me that although he could not read his books, yet he liked to be carried into his study. He knew the position of every volume, and called them his "familiar faces," bringing, as he glanced from one to the other, to his reooUection many happy hours spent in collecting the memoranda stored in each volume.

J. Ward Dean*.

* Mr. Hassam, of this city, has shown in an article which will appear in the April number of the Register, the disadvantages under which Col. Chester laboured, and under which genealogists in London now labour, in comparison with the facilities afforded for genealogical research in Boston. Dean Stanley and Col. Chester were only able, after years of solicitation, to obtain free access to the wills of the last century for a work of national interest. In this city access to all the probate records is given without fee to any person. In London the literary inquirer, even for the period for which he has the use of the records, has not access to the files. Here records and files are equally at his service without charge.

A tablet to his memory has been erected

By the Dean and Chapter of Westminster in that Abbey.

These great and rare qualities were not more admirable

Than the Generous and disinterested Sympathy,

Which made him always willing to give

Gratuitous Assistance to his Fellow Workers

On both sides of the Atlantic

(Many of whom he had never seen) ;

An Assistance which will long be missed,

And long had in thankful remembrance.

Beloved by all who knew him.

And deeply regretted by many more,

lie departed this life

(In which he had played so active a part)

On 26 May, 1882,

In the 62nd year of his age.

" Best, happy Dead, Sleep all thy Weariness away. Thou shalt be waked, on God's great day,

From thy cold bed."

Col. Chester's Manuscripts.

Abstract of a Lid preixired hy hia Erecutor, George E. CoTcayiie, M.A., F.S.A., at vhose erpeuse these Collections were originally made and ivho possesses duplicate Copies of these Manuscripts.

They may be divided into nine series, each series being quite separate and nncoimected with the other, viz. : —

I. The splendid collectiou of Extracts from Pakish Eegisters from nearly all the counties in England, consisting of 87 folio volumes, each containing about 400 pages, closely -written. Of these volumes 70 are full and are carefully indexed, the " index nominum" to each being a work of immense labour. The other 17 arc partially filled.

They contain the entries of all the families of note in the parishes thus dealt with, but -were, it is believed, made with the special view of illustrating such families as emigrated to America. They are therefore particularly valuable to the American nation, and it was in America that Colonel Chester fully believed they Avould eventually find their home (although now the property of the College of Arms, England). They are as follows, viz.: Beds 1 vol., Berks 1 vol., Bucks 1 vol.. Cambridgeshire 1 vol., Cheshire 1 vol., Cornwall 1 vol., Derbyshire 2 vols.. Devon 3 vols., Dorset 1 vol., Essex 3 vols., Glouccstershii-e 1 vol., Hants 1 vol., Herts 2 vols., Huntingdonshire 1 vol., Kent 2 vols., Lancashire 1 vol., Lincolnshire 5 vols., Middlesex 4 vols., Middlesex Westminster 10 vols., Middlesex London 12 vols., Middlesex Private Chapels 1 vol., Norfolk 2 vols, Northants 2 vuls., Northumberland 1 vol., Notts 2 vols., Oxfordshire 3 vols., Oxfordshire Oxford City 5 vols., Shropshire 1 vol., Somerset 3 vols., Staffordshire 1 vol., Suffolk 1 vol., Surrey 4 vols., Sussex 2 vols., Warwickshire 1 vol., Wilts 1 vol., Worcestershire 1 vol., Yorkshire 2 vols.

Vols. 5 to 7. — A.D. 1715 to 1869. Tlie names arranged in strict alphabetical order. These entries (about 95,000 in number) show for the most part, not only the College, the age and birthplace of the person who matriculated, but also the name and description of his father. (Now the property of Mr. Joseph Foster).

III. Complete list of Entrances at Gray's Inn, 1581 to 1781, arranged chronologically, shov,-ing in most instances the name and description of the father of the student. Barristers, 1657 to 1865, &c.
