NOTES AXD QTJKRIES. Historical, Biograptalcal and Genealogical. CIX. Thk Society of Sons of thk Revolution In reply to tt." of Pittsburgh, me would state that the Society of Sons of the Revolution is the legitimate association the Society of Sons of the American Revolution being a bogus organization gotten up by McDowell, the labor agitator, for the benefit of those who had no Revolutionary ancestry and he succeeded. Thk "Historical Journal." edited by John F.

Meginness, has appeared in a quarterly of great value and interest. Although devoted principally to the local history, biography, and genealogy of Northwestern Pennsylvania, it certainly will be of great interest to the lover of Pennsylvania history wheresoever dispersed. Mr. Meginness ia to bo congratulated upon the initial number of his quarterly. The most entertaining and valuable article3 are those relating to "The Great Island" in the West Branch of the Susquehanna, which for a century and a half has been a historic land mark, Marriage Record of the Rev.

James Linn," with the initial chapter of the "History of the Hepburn Family." His notes are all exceedinely interesting, and we bespeak for the "Historical Journal" a future of success, which it so well deserves. Mr. Meginness has proved one of the most hiatrtrinnn nf rmr preat Common wealth, and his History of the West Branch alley is a monument or ms in ilnatrff and rpararcVl while fl Umber of nthcr vnlnmM from his nen have made his name known, not only to interior Pennsylvania, but to every section of the Union. He has done much to preserve local and family history, and we commend the "Historical Journal to every irenn sylvania lover thereof. "When There's a Will," etc.

An interior Pennsylvania newspaper, in com menting very favorably on the value and interest ot JXoles ana queries, wnicn nas been published in the Telegraph for a period of about fifteen years, makes the statement that the editor being State Librarian has had advantages which no one else could possess. Oar editorial friend is very much mistaken, for the articles which have appeared in the Telegraph from time to time have not Deen aug out irom the musty documents of the State Library, but have been secured through research among the various county records of the State, from the wills, deeds, administration accounts and assessment lists. In addition, old graveyards have been visited, church records have been unearthed, and these have been a research of much time and labor. For forty years the editor of Notes and Queries has gathered up a library relating to the history, genealogy and biography of the State, which is not excelled by any private library or, even possibly, by any public one, for wealth of material relating to the State's history Our editorial frieni should give Notes and Queries proper credit for hard and laborious work. The editor hope9 that in time the valuable data which appears weekly will be properly appreciated by the people of his native State.

Historic material does not come to any one without persevering research, although we claim no extraordinary credit for the work that has been done; others have had the same chance we have hid, and it is not necessary for any one to be a State Librarian to be able to gather up material tor history, biography and genealogy. THE GKIIIt ESTATE CONTE3 V. In 1882 Baltzer Gehr, of Crawford county, was 100 years old on ihe 3d of April. His neighbors determined to give him a reception. At the request of Col.

Frank Mantor, the editor of Notes and Queries, who was then making researches among the court records at Lancaster, wrote a paper which was read at the picnic on Conneaut Lake, in June of that year, which surprised every one, and was favorably commented upon by the Crawford county papers, from the fact that the historic data was obtained solely from the wills, the deeds and administration accounts at Lancaster. To the surprise of the Gehr family themselves they first learned that they were connected with old Baltzer Gehr, of Berks county.in the days of the Revolution. Abut this time Kitty Gehr.a welt known old woman of Berks county, did, leaving a large estate. Her Berks county heirs were about claiming the property when Baltzer Guhr and his descendants, who were next of kin, claimed the estate, and, after a protracted litigation, won their suit. Many of these persons have died, but at last the contest has been ended, Jude Ecmcn trout last week decreeing that the awards be properly made to the heirs.among them being the heirs of Baltzer Gehr, of Craw fotd county.

The whole case is an interesting one from beginning to end, and, although it was through Notes and Queries that the Crawford county branch of the family obtained the necessary knowledge to substantiate their claim, not one of them has had the generosity to send a fee to the editor. MARY WYKOFr PACKER, Wife of William FI slier Tacber, Governor or Pennsylvania 1858 18(11. Mary Wykoff Vanderbelt, daughter of Peter W. Vanderbelt, was born March 1C, 1812, in the city of Williamsport. Hei ancestors were among the early settlers of the West Branch Valley, she being a granddaughter of Michael Ross, founder of that city.

On the 24th of December, 1829, she married William F. Packer. I a the early days of Mrs. Pucker she was a woman admired in social circles, her gentle nature and bright conversation winning her friends; her early cultivation fitting her for the high position she was destined to fill as the presiding spirit of the Executive Mansion at Harrisburg. Bound in marital bonds to one so distinguished in public life, and possessing the qualities to ably perform the duties devolving upon the wife of one so noted as was Governor Packer, it is no wonder that she should have achieved a State reputation as a hostess and a lady of splendid acquirements.

She outlived nearly all the friends of her early womanhood, to whom her mind often reverted in late years, recalling some happy incidents of the long She was the mother of ten children five sons and five daughters four of whom survive her: Boyd C. Packer, of Lock Haven; Airs. Elisha AH is, Easton; Mrs. John A. Wood ward, of Howard, and Mrs.

JSIlie is. Eeles, of Binghampton, JNew York. Her daughter, Mrs. Mary Packer Clark, died on the 3d of April last, and this shock, it seems, was too much for the advanced years of the mother, and nature succumbed. It will not be amiss in connection with these comments, to refer to the husband of this venerated lady.

William F. Packer was born in Centre county, April 2, 1807, and at the age of 13 began learning the printer's trade in the office of the Public Inquirer, Sunbury, subsequently completing his apprenticeshiD in the Patriot office, Bellefonte, afterwards serving as journeyman in the Pennsylvania Intelligencer, Harrisburg, of which Hon. Simon Cameron was one of the proprietors. He studied law in Williamsport, under Joseph B. Anthony, but was never admitted to the bar.

In 1827 he is found the owner of an interest in the Lycominq Gazette. In 1832 he was appointed superintendent of the West Branch canal, and was subsequently one of the three canal commissioners of the State. In 1812 Governor Porter appointed him Auditor General and in 1846 he was elected member of the House of Representatives, and the following year re elected and chosen Speaker of the House. He was also a delegate to the Baltimore convention in 1835, which nominated Martin Van Buren for President, and to the Cincinnati convention in 185C which nominated James Buchanan. 'He was elected Governor of Pennsylvania, and his administration was pronounced conservative, able, and marked by commendable foresight.

He died at his home in Williamsport, September 27, 1870. GENEALOGICAL NOTES. Stink. Abraham Stine, of Bjthel township. Dauphin, now Lebanon county, 1.

of Delaware. Mr. a clergyman, and others, who all pronounce it to be the real canvasback. These birds have been killed at and above Columbia before." William Barton, of Lancaster, in a let ter to the same of September 2. 1800, writes: The learned Dr.

Muhlenberg (of that borough) was the first person who brought the plant called St. John's Wort. perforatum) into general use a a remedy for diarrhoea, in this part ot the country. More than twenty years ago he used it as a specific for dysenteries and other diseases to which children are liable in summer time." "Died in.Philadt lphia. January 11.

Mr. Barton, the father, died in New York, in 1780. He was one of the'principal founders of the 'Juliana Library Company, at Lancaster, and cultivated, with considerable success, some of the branches of natural history, at a time when these studies were almost entirely neglected in Pennsylvania. He formed a considerable collection of the mineral productions of, Pennsylvania. Matthias Barton was for eleven years a member of the Legislature eight years in the House and three in the Senate." Philadelphia Medical Journal, May 1806.

During the years from 1785 to 1796 Andre Michaux, the famous botanist, traveled over the United States and Canada, and kept a "Journal," from which these extracts are taken "1789. Le 18 Julliet, passe par Little York, assez jolie ville sit, a 59 miles de Fredericktown." He states that the inhabitants were laborious and industrious. He then records that after journeying on foot he arrived on "19 Julliet at Lancaster, a petite ville de Pennsylvania, Lenplee d' Allemands" and left on the 20th for Philadelphia, where he arrived August 4. In 1793, on July 17, he passed through Lancaster on his way to Pittsburgh. Lancaster was thus favored with visits on July 19, 1789, and July 17, 1793, by a botanist whose name will be remembered as long as North American plants are studied or cultivated.
