The records of Germantown show that Rhiner Tyson, or Tisen; was one of the chief Burgesses and a gentleman of note in the early days of that borough. He removed later to Abington, where he was one of the founders of the Ablngton meeting and successively overseer and elder. The name of Rhiner is spelled Bynear in the latter's will and the Tisen is signed Tyson. Mathias Tyson, son of married Mary Potts, March 29, 1707.

Xathan; 5. Jacob; 6. Sarah; 7, Jesse; Eneas; 9, George, and 10, Tacy. Isaac, with his wife and family, left Abington, near Philadelphia, in 1773 and settled at Jericho, Baltimore county, on the Little Falls of the Gunpowder, about seven miles from Belair and about three and a half miles from what is now the railToad station of Bradshaw, on the Philadelphia branch of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. All the places in the vicinity had Biblical names, such as Jerusalem, etc.

and this old place at Jericho was in possession of the Tysn family tip to 1851. It is 16 miles by turnpike from Baltimore. From Isaac Tyson a'V the Maryland Tysons and many of those residing in Philadelphia are said to be descended. Of his 10 children all lived to maturity, and eight have left descendants. Dorothy Tyson married John Webster, who was killed in the War of 1812.

They left no children. Eneas Tyson married Ruth Thomas. He went to Kentucky to live and the Baltimore family have no knowledge of his descendants. George Tyson married Hannah, whose last name is not known. They had three children George Tyson, Daniel and Sarah Ann wly appear to have either died unmarried or to have left no descendants.

Elisha Tyson, eldest son of Isaac and Esther (Shoemaker) Tyson, was born in Montgomery county, Pennsylvania, December IS, 1750, and came with his parents and brothers to Jericho. He it is who is the most brilliant figure in the family history. He was twice married. His first wife was Mary Amos, of Harford county, Maryland, by whom he had 11 children, 5 of whom died yoimg. His second wife was Margaret Cowman, of Anne Arundel county.

Maryland, by whom there were no children.

A member of this branch is the accomplished Dr. Charles 11, Hall, of Macon, Gn. O.

Messrs. Editors: There were two sisters, Mnry and Margaret Jackson, both probably born between 1700 nnil 1710. who lived In Prince George's county. Mnry married Thomas Cromphln, of Prince George's county. Margaret is supposed to have been the wife of Samuel Mac-ruder 3d.

Both Mary and Margaret named their daughters Ruth. Can any of your readers tell who were the parents of these Jackson girls, or anything concerning the' Jacksons who may bavo settled in Prince-George's county prior to 17oo? There was a IMchnrd Jackson who died In Calvert county In Had he r.ny children? Win Elizabeth Howard, wife of Col. Henry Rldgely, a daughter of Mathew Howard? If not, who were her parents?

Editors: i Referring to Mr. Odell's letter In Tub Sun of January 15, be says Elizabeth Brewer in her will speaks of two other children than John, William and Rachel, Acnlas lierpont and his brother, Jobey.

Now Annlas Plerpont and Jobey. his brother, were the sons of her friend, Henry Plerpont. To her three children hIio leaves lands. She also leaves to her negro woman, Jude, a heifer, and "if my two sons, John and William, died before they como to age, then she shall have her freedom." And then again she mi.ih "My desire and earnest re. quest is that my loving friends, Edward Selby (who lived on an adjoining plantation), Xathaniel Heathcoat and Henry Pierpont would please to be overseers this my will.

"The 040 acres on the Wye river, at the Eastern Shore, and tho tobacco to be disposed of towards the bringing tip of my two sons and the payment of my debts." Rachel did not inherit any land. She, no doubt was married, for she further says: "I leave and my will is that two negroes, Peter and Susannah, do serve my daughter four years apiece In lieu of two servants given to her by the will of her father-in-law." Who was the Thomas Odell, who wns tho guardian of tho "Brewer orphans," I do not know, for Elizabeth In her will leaves her two sous to Xalhaulel Henthcoaffl care and tuition and says, "desiring him, If ho pleases, to continue on the plantation I now live on and to keep my children to their learning." The witness to this will was not Nathaniel Ilentheoat, but Michael John I'orter and Thomas Bosson. In Henry ltidjreley's will, of 1705, ho says: "I desire that my grandson. Henry Rkigeley, the son of Henry Rldgeley, bo under the care Thomas odell and Chnrlea Greenbury." I'M an Banwnn. Messrs.

Crest A deml lion or, crowned supporting a shield az. The name of the Tyson family of Baltimore is from its earliest introduction in Maryland associated with the restful annals of the Society of Friends. Rhiner Tisen, or Tyson, of Holland, born 1659, the earliest known ancestor or the family, was led to come to America through his conversion to the religion of the Society of Friends Under the preaching of William Penn. Down the annals of the Tyson family story there is the flutter of gray silken wedding cloaks that clasped the dainty shoulders of brides riding demurely on horseback to their weddings. There is the heroic calm of the Quaker Elisha Tyson, friend of the negro when slave dealers trampled upon laws governing slave trading, who did not flinch from a pistol pressed by a slave trader against hisjbreast, but said quietly: "Shoot me if thee dares." Small wonder that the infuriated slave dealer did not "dare.

There were Tyson men who rode unarmed from their mills in Maryland to those on the Susquehanna river with large sums of money about their persons for the transac-. tion of business, but no harm befell them. There is the record of how, at Gunpowder monthly meeting, held at the Little Falls twenty-eighth of the ninth month, 1776, Elisha Tyson and Mary Amos appeared at this meeting and offered their intention of marriage, and how William Briggs and James Hicks were appointed a committee to inquire as to parents consent and the necessary knowledge of the candidates which phould entitle them to the sanction of the church upon their union. The Tyson men have ever been of the wholesome stock that live to green old age, likened by Shakespeare to lusty winter, frosty, yet kindly," and their family tree branches and blossoms almost all over the United States. It is related that the late Mrs.

John Saurin Norris (nee Tyson), when her own daughter, Mrs. Mary X. Perry, was grown to womanhood, counted one day her living first cousins. They numbered over 50, and an additional count of those first cousins who had died within the memory of Mrs. Xorris brought the number up to 10O.

Simplicity of life and heart has been the dominant characteristic of the race. While blessed with an unusual measure of prosperity prosperity that enabled them to carry into execution the good impulses toward which their natures inclined their simplicity of heart was such that they desired uo honors as a return. giving with generous hand to all philanthropies, they rarely accepted offices that would indicate their active work in behalf of others. Isaac Tyson, oldest son of Elisha and Mary (Amos) Tyson, was among those who first advocated free schools in Baltimore. Anonymous, letters still exist threatening the destruction of his mills if he continued to advocate taxation for such purpose.

The Tysons were also instrumental in founding the library of the Park Avenue Friends' Meeting House, said to be the oldest library in Baltimore, that has existed uninterruptedly since its founding without changes of any sort. The late Mr. Philip Thomas Tyson, son of Isaac and Elizabeth (Thomas) Tyson, has added luster to the name through his scientific research, which was of the most accurate and exact nature. He was State Geologist at the opening of the Civil War, and his investigations and geological statements are now the authority at the Johns Hopkins University, while such of his geological maps as have been preserved are regarded as of great value owing to their unusual degree of exactness. Mr.

Tyson was the first president of the resuscitated Academy of Sciences of Baltimore, and the geologic Tysonian range bears his name. There were women, such as Martha Elli-cott, who married Into the Tyson family, who were among those who spoke uplifting words at meeting, and two of the most efficient philanthropies in the city are due, one directly and the other Indirectly, to the efforts of daughters of the Tyson house. Mrs. John Saurin Norris (nee Tyson), active In hospital work during the Civil War, passed one day in the street a group of 11 disabled negro soldiers. Her sudden thought was for the uncared-for children of such colored men.

Impelled by pity, she set to work to establish, and did establish, on Fayette street, near Front street, aided by the late Miss Isabella Tyson, an orphanage for colored girls. The ladies received liberal contributions from Quakers in the North; also from the Government, and the late Johns Hopkins, who was also one of the connection, subscribed to the work. It is believed that his interest thus excited led to his endowment of the present Home for Orphan Colored Girls. When that institution was founded the girls from the lesser orphan asylum were transferred to it, while the property owned by the original orphan asylum organization was utilized as a Shelter for Aged Colored People, a most unique and beneficent charity, in which the ladies of the Tyson family are etill actively interested. Jane Tyson, daughter of William and Elizabeth (Ellicott) Tyson and a most saintly woman, died kneeling at prayer.

With the Tyson family is also associated the life of their distant kinsman, Moses Sheppard, who endowed the Sheppard Hospital, and the hitherto untold love story of Moses Sheppard's life was related during the past week by the dearest of old Quaker ladies of the Tyson family. On the wall of Moses Sheppard's office there hung, she said, for many years a map of London. Many wondered why it was there, but few knew Its significance. When Moses Sheppard was a lad he became a member of Elisha Tyson's family and later was employed in the commission business of Mr. Tyson's brother-in-law, Mr.

John Mitchell, of Baltimore. His duties in connection with the business took him often to the residence of a lady keeping a large boarding house, and there he saw and fell desperately in love with a young girl. It was a case of adoration on the part of the youth. Whether he ever really became acquainted with the young lady or not, the Tyson family were unaware, but Bhe was to Moses Sheppard the realization of all his dreams, and when she married and went to London to live the old map of London was hung upon his wall, indicating the home of his heart. Years passed the young girl became a widow and pitifully poor, and it was then that the loving surveillance of years found an opportunity to manifest itself in action.

Without ever revealing himself as the donor, Moses Sheppard provided amply for the comfort of the lady during the remainder of her life. Concerning the Tyson family, Rhiner Tisen and Derrick Tisen, the original members of the family who came to America, were brothers. They came to the United States in 1683 with the gifted Daniel Fas-torius, to whom they became known through William Penn. Derrick died unmarried shortly after reaching this country, but the brothers had sailed together from Cre-feld in the ship Concord, and with them also to Germantown, from Crefeld came Cornelius Tyson, whose relationship-to Rhiner, if any exists, does not appear. AH efforts to trace the family to an earlier date than that of Rhiner have proved unsuccessful.

A tradition exists that the TIsens were orgioilly English, and left England early In the seventeenth century on account of religious persecution, and that they went to Germany, where the family lived for two generations before coming to this coun NATHAN who married Helen R.

Messrs. Editors: Touching the exceedingly interesting sketch given in last Sunday's Sun of the Fairfax lineage, let me suggest an error into which the writer of the article Beems to have fallen. The twelfth Baron Fairfax cannot assume his rank and prerogatives unless he takes upon himself the responsibilities of citizenship under the British crown. This he has not yet done. He was born an American citizen and bis title is not recognized by our laws.

We. under our law, know no such title, nor Is there any such title as "Hon. Mrs." or "Hon. Catherine, nor, indeed, any such personage under our law as "baroness." As I understand it, these Indies were all born in thts country citizens thereof by birth and the laws of our land strictly forbid and prohibit the assumption of any such descriptive cognomens. A woman born here, marrying a citizen of our land who never took the onth of citizenship to Great Britain and.

dying, leaves his widow surviving him, cannot by any view of the law thereupon become "baroness." The eleventh. Baron Fairfax, a most estimable gentleman, refused ever and always to forsake his birthright citizenship for naturalization citizenship to Great Britain, and he died an American citizen, hence his widow is and ever has been since his death Mrs. Fairfax. One at all conversant with the laws of our land can but be amused at the attempt to hold the American citizenship and then claim such titles as "baroness." the "Hon. Mrs." and "Hon.

Catherine," etc. I am quite content that full examination will verify what is here said. It is only "Mr." Fairfax under our law. When ho ceases being an American citizen he may become the twelfth Baron Fairfax, and becomes such bv right of his assumption of British citizenship, and this taking on of such citizenship will not In the least alter the American citizenship of his mother, brother or sisters, and they will continue to bo plain Miss and Mr. J.

C. Stewart. S17 Columbia avenue. Baltimore, January 15. 1005.

When Rev. Bryan Fairfax succeeded his kinsman, Robert Fnlrfax. to the title of Bn-ion Fairfax of Cameron he. in 1S00, visited England and bv special act of the House of Lords (a relative of his own being then Lord Chancellor of England) his rights to the title were confirmed to him and his successors, wherever they might choose to reside. Books of English peerage have noted the descent in each generation of tho Fairfax familv.

giving the one to whom title is due just recognition as such, Irrespective of whether the person thus honored assumed the title or not. John Contee Fair-fax. eleventh Baron, received during his life' all ofndul court notifications and invitations, nlthough In America, exactly the same as though lie resided in England, and official documents to his daughters from England are addressed to them with the title accorded by English usage to those whose family rank justifies it. As Americans these ladies assume only tlio titles of Mrs. or Miss accorded them by republican usage, but that England accords them special and peculiar honors cannot 1)8 gainsaid.

When Albert Klrhy Fairfax In IftoO, contemplated making London place of residence a relative of the Fairfaxes called upon the Lord Chancellor of England and asked htm if the Fairfax title could have lapsed from disuse. The Chancellor replied that the term lapse was not applicable to tho subject that the title of the Lords Fairfax could never lapse, and that all the formality Albert Klrhy Fairfax would have to go through In assuming the title and securing In England the recognition that title commanded wns to prove that he was himself. His privileges in the House of Lords do not at tho present time Include the rights of the floor, which are only accorded to Scottish peers elected at Holy-rood Castle from among the peers who have the right of presence In the Ilouso ol Lords. Mr. Stewart Is probably unaware that the case of Lord Fairfax Is peculiarly unioue for tho reason given above, and if England's peerage chooses to thus peculiarly honor a family one of the oldest and bravest names In her annals the subject is certainly one of International Interest.

The title. Lord Fairfax, has, neither lapsed nor apparently from an English standpoint been forfeited. The American Barons Fairfax certainly lost their Virginia estates through being Tories. Hence here's to the health of Albert Klrhy Fairfax, twelfth Baron Fairfax of Cameron and American gentleman Emily Emehson Lantz.J (Continued on Pue 4 I den. They had four children Samuel J.

From this period Alnwick Castle continued In the possession of the Lords de Vesel until the time of Ed-wfird I. when it was granted to the Bishop of Dunham, who sold it to Henry Terry In 1309.

1021 Cathedral street, January Hi, 3 DOS, Messrs. Editors: I saw in Tub Sun an Inquiry concerning Ellhu Hall, and perhaps something of Richard Hall, grandfather of Elihu, might be of Interest to the Halls, of Cecil and Calvert counties. In 1(535 a Dr. Richard Hall and his son, Richard Hall. and Samuel P.

Joseph went to Virginia. He received 705 acres of land in what Is now Warwick. I find no mention of him in the Virgiuia records after 1651, when he received an additional grant of land. In 1G5S, or near that time, a Richard Hall, carpenter and Quaker, appears in Calvert county. Maryland.

In 1003 he secured a warrant for 1,000 acres, for bringing his wife and 10 servants into the province and for three assigned patents. His land was located on the east side of Fatuxent river, at the head of Island creek. He received other grants In Calvert and Worcester counties, and when land was granted in, Cecil county, he received large grants, until he patented over 5.0H acres. He was sent as Burgess from Calvert county In 10(50, and continued a member until 1(578. He died in 10S8.

He was a very Influential member of the Assembly, always In his place and always on important committees. His children were: Elisha. Benjamin, Aaron, Elizabeth, Rachel, Sarah and Susan. Was this Richard Hall the son of Dr. Richard Hall, cf Warwick, and from what part of England did he come? There was a Quaker family of Halls in Henrico countv, Virginia, about this time, who were connected with the Pleasants, Randolphs and Boilings.

The family of Richard U. THE TYSON ARMS Jones falls, near what is now Druid Hill Park. He succeeded after much difficulty In borrowing $12,000, with which he built a mill on this site. He cut a private road from the York road to Jones falls, and after seemingly insurmountable difficulties had been overcome the mill was completed. The first year the profits amounted to $20,000, and in a few years he was a wealthy man.

It was at one of these mills that wheat is said to have first brought a bushel in Maryland. Elisha Tyson, although a man of peace, also offered one of his mills to the Government for the manufacture of bullets. He was a rigid prohibitionist and the first man it is said in Baltimore who refused to allow whisky to pass through his warehouses. The story is that a short cut in shipping goods for sea could be made by rolling the freight through Elisha Tyson's warehouses. The miller-merchant was ready enough to permit other commodities to pass through his premises, but drew the line at whisky.

Tyson owned the property immediately north of Richmond street, and the present Tyson street was a lane running through It. He is said to have procured the passage of an ordinance directing the extension of Howard street by the most direct route toward Jones falls, which is the reason why Howard street is crooked now, though this turn in its direction caused Howard street to pass through his property and greatly enhanced its value. It is told of his residence in Baltimore that he had erected a fine mansion on Hanover street, which, when completed, attracted the eye of another gentleman, who offered a much larger amount to purchase it. The bargain was immediately struck and Elisha Tyson then built the residence on Sharp 6treet, between Lombard and Pratt, in which he afterward resided. It was immediately opposite a colored meeting house, and he bought four houses also opposite his residence for his daughter Mary Clapp and his sons Xathan, Isaac and William.

These houses were torn down in later years and the site occupied by the warehouse of John E. Hurst where the fateful fire of February 7 and 8, 1904. which wiped out the business center of Baltimore, started. On the corner of Sharp and Lombard lived Ellas Elliott, and Moses Sheppard resided near by. Elisha Tyson was a man of great talent and unbounded energy, in no sense a man of one idea, but full of the wl3dom, courage and conduct of everyday life.

He was large and majestic in person, with great physical strength and both resolute and conscientious. He was a prominent and progressive citizen, but as his religion forbade his taking part in either the politics or wars of the day he turned his thoughts to the unhappy and the oppressed. William Birney is quoted as saying in a life of his celebrated father "Elisha Tyson was a philanthropist and emancipator whose deeds of heroism entitled him to rank among the great souls of our Elisha Tyson's whole life shows that he regarded slavery as wrongful, but he never Interfered with those who were legally slaves. If anyone was illegally held in slavery, however, he searched for proofs and appealed to the courts for redress, and he procured the passage of several laws ameliorating the conditions of slaves and facilitating emancipation, lie persuaded many slave-owners to give deeds of manumission and aided in the construction of churches and schools for freedmen. In this he had the sympathy and support of Mose Sheppard, who was earnest in his efforts for the colonization of Africa.

He imported the' first fire engine ever known in Baltimore and presented the lot where the house was placed for its keeping. In the sixtieth year of his age he journeyed on horseback to Fort Wayne, accompanied by another eminent friend, George Gillingham. Their object was to look after the welfare of the Indians, a subject then seriously agitating the Baltimore Meeting. The exposure of the journey brought on a serious attack of illness, but Elisha Tyson was able notwithstanding to address a council of the Indians at Eel river ana was listened to with profound attention. He died in Baltimore February 16, 1824 and a platn slab marks his grave in the burial ground of the First Meeting House of Friends in Baltimore, on Aisquith street, near Baltimore street, Old Town.

Ten thousand colored people are said to have united their numbers with the concourse of people who manifested their respect by attendance at his funeral, and streets extending from the vicinity were thronged with mourners. Beautlfu. old cut glass, BOlid silver, French mirrors and hand-made furniture belonging to Elisha Tyson are still in the his daughter LucTetia Wilson, When Baltimore was threatened by the British in 1812 the treasures to this house and guarded there until danger was past.
