FORD.

          Presumably this name came from the location.  When surnames were adopted in England not many centuries ago, someone who lived at a ford, and perhaps had a nickname indicating this fact, took Ford as a surname.  Several persons bearing it came to New England very early in its settlement, one settling in New Haven, Connecticut, and others in Massachusetts. Among those who came over in 1621 on the ship "Fortune: and located in Plymouth was a widow, Martha Ford, who brought her children:  Martha, John, and William.  Later she returned to England.  She had a son born the day after her arrival at Plymouth, and this was probably Andrew Ford, who settled in Plymouth colony, and left a large progeny. 

          (I) William Ford was born about 1604, in England (one authority says 1594).  It is probable that he returned to England with his mother, as he was not present when the cattle of the colony were divided.  He, however, returned and was at Marshfield, Massachusetts, as early as 1639, and removed to Duxbury, in 1643.  He was a miller and resided near Gravelly Beach, Marshfield, and operated the mill in Duxbury now known as Dunham's mill.  He was among the original proprietors of Bridgewater, Massachusetts, and probably did not remove there, although he sold land in Duxbury, in 1661. He died in Marshfield, September 23, 1676, aged seventy-two years.  His wife, Ann, died September 1, 1684, in Marshfield.  They had children:  1. William, born 1633.  2. Michael, mentioned below.  . 3.. Margaret.  4. Millicent.  The last became the wife of John Carver.

          (II) Michael, second son of William and Ann Ford, was born about 1635, in Marshfield, and died there March 29, 1729.  He married (first), December 12, 1667, Abigail Snow, daughter of Anthony and Abigail (Warren) Snow, the latter a daughter of Richard and Elizabeth Warren of the "Mayflower" pilgrims.  She was buried June 26, 1682, in Marshfield, and he married (second), in 1683, Bethiah, daughter of Walter and Elizabeth (Holbrook) Hatch, of Marshfield, born 1661.  Children of the first wife:  1. Lydia.  2. Hannah.  3. William.  4. Elizabeth.  5. James.  6. Abigail, and 7. Patience, last born 1681.  Of the second wife there were twins ( 8 & 9),  died

          (III) James, second son of Michael and Abigail (Snow) Ford, was born April 4, 1675, in Marshfield, and was baptized and admitted to the church there April 20, 1718.  He died between February 1, 1`734, and July 15, 1735, the respective dates of making and proving his will.  He married February 28, 1698, Hannah, daughter of Jacob and Elizabeth (Newton) Dingley.  She was admitted to the church April 20, 1718, and died at Marshfield, January 14, 1746.  Among their children were:  1. James.  2. Abigail.  3. Hannah.  4. Michael.  The eldest daughter, born 1701, married John Joyce, and the younger, born 1705, became the wife of Samuel Baker.

          (IV) James (2), eldest son of James (1) and Hannah (Dingley) Ford, was born February, 1699, in Marshfield, and died at Norwich, Connecticut, May 5, 1757.  He probably removed to Norwich about 1731, in which year his wife was admitted to the church there.  His will was made just two weeks before his death.  He married Elizabeth, born 1708, daughter of Ichabod and Elizabeth (Waterman) Bartlett, of Marshfield.  She joined the church at Norwich, June 27, 1731, and died there May 4, 1755.

          James (3), son of James (2) and Elizabeth (Bartlett) Ford, was born September 16, 1734, in Norwich, and died April 25, 1821, in Richmond, Berkshire County, Massachusetts.  He probably settled in Richmond immediately after the Revolution, and Ford's Brook in that town was named for him.  He married, November 12, 1755, Rachael Backus, born 1737, died February 17, 1821, in Richmond. 

          (IV) Simeon, son of James (3) and Rachael (Backus) Ford, was born March 26, 1776, in Richmond, died October 12, 1839, in Cleveland, Ohio.  He was educated at Williams College, and was admitted to the New York bar in 1805; removed to Little Falls, and became district attorney of Herkimer County, New York, in 1818; moved to Cleveland, Ohio, where he became a judge.  He married (first), October 29, 1803, at Hartford, Connecticut, Sarah Lloyd, died January 3, 1812, at Herkimer, New York.  She had a daughter, Sarah Amanda, born October 1, 1804, who marred Hobart Ford.  Simeon Ford married (second) Sophia Kingman, eldest child of David and Elizabeth (Smith) Kingman, of Bridgewater, Massachusetts.  She survived her husband more than eighteen years, dying March 16, 1858, at Little Falls, New York. 

          (VII) Backus, son of Simeon and Sophia (Kingman) Ford, was born October 12, 1817, in Herkimer County, and died at Canandaigua, New York, about 1884.  He graduated at Williams College, and was a civil engineer and pioneer railroad builder in the south.  He married Sarah, born in Lafayette, Indiana, 1819, died in New York City, February 19, 1885, daughter of David and Sarah Webb.  Child:  Simeon Ford.

          (VIII) Simeon (2), son of Backus and Sarah (Webb) Ford, was born August 31, 1855, in Lafayette, Indiana.  He was brought from Indiana when an infant to Brooklyn, new York, and was educated in the public schools of Brooklyn, New York, and Windham, Connecticut.  He was admitted to the bar in New York, 1876, and practiced for a short time in New York City, but becoming interested in other lines, he abandoned practice of law.  Mr. Ford is well known as one of the proprietors of the Grand Union Hotel in New York City, and is president of the Hotel Red book and Directory Company; director of the Columbia Bank; of the Manhattan Life Insurance Company; Rye Land and Improvement Company; Fireproof Elevator Hatchway Company and General Electric Inspection Company.  He is a trustee of the American Safe Deposit Company and treasurer of the Untied Agency Company.  During the major part of the year he resides in New York, and has a beautiful home at Rye, New York, where he spends the heated term.  He married, May 29, 1883, Julia (Ellsworth) Shaw, daughter of James E. and Julia A.

          Daniel Miller, father of Joseph Miller, City Comptroller of Yonkers, New York, was

Page 530

a prominent manufacturer and a burgomaster of Walkheissel, Germany, and active in the public affairs of his country.  He was a patriot and a member of the Sons of Liberty in the Revolution of 1848, as were also his two oldest sons.  He came to this country in 1851 with his entire family and settled in Newark, New Jersey, entering into business there as a wagonmaker.  He continued in this business until his death in 1867; and from that time his sons and grandsons have continued the same business until the present day.  Daniel Miller, though always a public spirited man and taking great interest in the affairs of Newark, held no office there.  By his wife, Victoria, whose maiden name is not given, he had the following children:  1. John, who married Margaret Spade, both now deceased leaving no children; he served in the Ninth New Jersey volunteers during the entire Civil War.  2. Elizabeth, married Christopher Flagg, and died leaving no children.  3.

          (II) Joseph Miller, son of Daniel Miller, was born in Baden, Karlsruhe, Germany, on the third of March, 1845, and came to this country with his parents, as aforesaid, in the year 1857.  He was educated in the public schools of Newark, and at the age of twelve years, in 1857, entered business life in the hatmaking industry.  He connoted in this employment until 1874, when he established himself independently in the same line, continuing until 1881, when he removed to Yonkers, where he became a superintendent of the Waring Hat Manufactory.  He remained in this important position for twenty-seven years, until in 1908 he retired from business life altogether.  Like most of his brothers, he was also in the Civil War, serving in the Thirty-seventh New Jersey Volunteers.  While in Newark he became prominent in public life, being an alderman of that city from 1876 until his removal to Yonkers in 1881.  His first public service in the latter city was during the panic of 1893.  The mayor appointed a citizens' committee for the relief of the poor,  Mr. Miller being a member of the executive committee, and this committee did much to ameliorate the sufferings of the poor at that time.  In connection with this it should be stated that through the influence of Mr. Miller and the kindness of John T. Waring, every employee of the great hat works was spared the humiliation of seeking relief, as Mr. Miller advanced money to them, and when times improved and the factories opened again, everyone of these obligations was discharged in due time.  In his political convictions Mr. Miller is a Republican.  He was the last president of the old excise board of Yonkers, the Raines Law legislating him out of office, and during his incumbency he was noted for a strict enforcement of the law.  In 1897 he was appointed water commissioner, which office he held throughout the different administrations until the enactment of the second-class cities law, January 1, 1908.  In this office he also rendered very competent service in the cause of the people.  In 1909 he was elected city comptroller of Yonkers for the years 1910 and 1911, and his kindness and courtesy coupled with his remarkable energy and

efficiency, resulted in his re-nomination and re-election at the expiration of his first term.

AUSTIN.

          This is an old English name, and was early represented by immigrants in New England.  The family mentioned below is of later arrival, but partakes of the same characteristics which have distinguished the New England family, and is worthy of regard among the leading families of the country. 

          (I) the first known record of this family relates that three brothers were residing in England, one of whom was an officer in the army.  One of these brothers, Henry Austin, married an Irish woman named Kelley, and removed to Ireland, where he became a minister and reared several children.

          (II) Robert, youngest child of Henry Austin, was born in 1813, in county Queens, Ireland, died in Albany, New York, in 1890, at the age of seventy-seven yeas.  When forty years old, he came to America in the year 1853, bringing his wife, Margaret (Borden) Austin, and four children, namely:  1. Mary, now deceased.  2. Elizabeth, married Cornelius Nolan, resides in Albany, New York.  3. Catherine, unmarried.  4. Henry, of whom further.  Another child, born in this country, died in infancy.  On his arrival in America Robert Austin settled in Albany, where he engaged in the coal business, and became one of the most successful merchants of his day.  For twelve years before his death he was retired from active business.  He was an earnest supporter of the Democratic Party, and a Catholic in religion.  He married, in Ireland, Margaret Borden, a native of county Queens.  She survived him, and died in Albany.

          (III) Henry (2), fourth child of Robert and Margaret (Borden) Austin, was born February 26, 1846, in county Queens, Ireland, and was named in honor of his grandfather.  He was seven years of age when he came with his parents to America, grew up in Albany, where he attended the public schools, and the old St. Mary's parochial school.  Early in life he had charge of the news stand at Hotel Delavan, Albany, New York, and there met many distinguished men of the state, most of whom became his friends.  Among these were John A. McCall and Hon. John Bowe.  He became interested in railroading, and entered the employ of the New York Central Railroad.  He was subsequently employed by the Delaware and Hudson Railroad, and became supervisor of track.  When the line between Albany and Carbondale, Pennsylvania, was put into operation, he ran the first locomotive engine over the tracks.  After some years he resigned his position, and engaged in the hotel business at Sharon Springs, Schoharie County, New York, where he was successful for some years.  He then sold out and opened the Austin House at Central Springs, New York, which he still conducts.  He has always taken an active interest in political matters, and is a leader in the councils of the Democratic Party in Schoharie County.  Though never seeking an office for himself, he has exercised great influence in placing others in positions of trust and responsibility during the last thirty years.  He married, in 1876, Laura Ellen Sprong, born at Sharon Springs, 

page 532

daughter of Judge William E. Sprong, who has been for thirty years district judge of that county.  Children of Mr. and Mrs. Austin:  1. Ethel Margaret, married Addison L. Brand: children: Henry Austin, born 1903; Ellen Elizabeth, 1908; both born at Central Bridge, New York.  2. Harry Sprong, of whom further.  3. Robert William, now a member of the senior class of Cornell University.

          (IV) Harry Sprong, elder son of Henry (2) and Laura E. (Sprong) Austin, was born September 16, 1881, at Sharon Springs.  He received his education in the public schools of Central Springs; prepared for college at the Holy Cross School of Worcester, Massachusetts, and subsequently attend Holy Cross College of that place, from which he graduated with the degrees of Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts.  He entered Columbia University Law School of New York City, then studied at the University of the City of New York, from which he was graduated in 1904, with the degree of Bachelor of Laws.  In the same year he was admitted to the bar, and subsequently became trail counsel for the Travelers' Insurance Company of Hartford, which position he held five years.  He is now attorney for this company at its headquarters in New York City.  He is a member of several college and social societies, being the secretary of the Holy Cross College Club of New York.  He is a member of the New York Athletic Club and of the Albany Society of New York City.  Like his ancestors he is an active adherent of the Democratic Party. 

LUTHER.

          The surname Luther is derived from the baptismal and biblical name in common use in all Christian countries.  The American family is of the same German stock, according to family tradition, as the immortal Martin Luther, tracing direct from his brother Johannes (John) Luther, sons of Henry Luther, both of whom were born in Eisleben, Saxony.  Martin Luther was born in 1483, graduated from a university at twenty years of age, and two years later in 1505, accepted a position as teacher.  At the age of twenty-four he took orders in the Roman Catholic Church, later becoming the head and front of the Reformation and the founder of Protestantism.  John Luther was born between 1475 and 1490, and is descendants of the third and fourth generation emigrated to Holland, from which country, after many years, perhaps a century, some of them removed to Sussex County, England, among them being a Wilhelm Luther, who attained the great age of one hundred and eight years.  After the settlement in England, they, or some branches of the family, became wealthy and owned an extensive manor.  The family were known in local parlance as Luton, but in all legal papers the name was spelled Luther.

          (I) Captain John Luther was born in Shrewsbury, England.  He set sail from Dorset County, England, for the new world, landing in Boston, Massachusetts, in 1635, and in 1637 was one of the first purchasers and settles of Swansea; his ninety acres of land were said to have been purchased from the Indians for a peck of white beans.  It is quite probable that the land was assigned by the government, and the peck of beans merely quieted any claim made by the Indians.  He sold his interest there, and in 1642 became one of the first settlers of Gloucester; in the same year he was made governor of Rhode Island,  He was employed by the Merchants of Boston as captain of a vessel to go to Delaware Bay on a trading voyage, and while there was killed by the Indians, in 1644.  Evidently his son was captured at the same time, for on May 2, 1646, the general court of Massachusetts decreed that the widow of Luther should have a balance of her husband's wages according to the custom, after allowing the merchants what they had paid for the redemption of her son.  Children:  1. Samuel, of whom further.  2. Hezekiah, born 1640, in Taunton, and 3. James. 

          (II) Rev. Samuel Luther, son of Captain John Luther, was born in 1636, in Taunton, and died December 20, 1716, at Kickemuit, Rhode Island.  He was among the first settlers of Swansea, Massachusetts, in 1667, and made a demand upon the town of Taunton, October 19, 672, for his father's purchase rights, but it was shown that his brother had been for many years in peaceful possession of the property and his

Page 533

appeal was denied. He served as selectman of Swansea before 1675.  His wife bore the baptismal name of Mary, and they had children:  1. Samuel, born October 25, 1663.  2.
