Gossip About the Astor Family
Name.

The New York correspondent
of the Philadelphia Record says
the Astors DO not appear to have
kept very correct list of births,
marriages and deaths during the
first half century of their stay in
this country, and some very inn
portant dates are lacking even in
the main line. This is the more
remarkable because the original
John Jacob Astor was a most
methodical man-but he had no
family pride nor care for "vital sta
tistics." Mr.. Astor seems to be
unaware that the family name vas
originally "Ashdoor." An adyeF,
tisement IN the New York GQzett,
of April 11th, 1888, mentions :
"dark brown horse, about ff;ecr
hands high" as stolen from III,
first immigrant Of that name
"Three guineas reward for tho
horse, saddle and bride" $50
the thief, horse, saddle and bride,
ten guineas will be paid by Henr!
Ashdoor." Henry died childles.
and left half million dollars-aC
quired by the art and mystery o
butchering-to his nephew VII
liam 3. Astor. The change O
name appears to have beer mad,
prior to 1870, for in May of tina
year the inhabitants in the neigh
borhood of the Fly market peti
toned that the stall OF Henr'
Astor, butcher, be removed to the
lower market, because it obstructe'
the entrance, and this was done.
