WdlWOrth is SuDuru VI hOnoon
and the family is supposed to take its
name from the town. The Derivation
of this word is possibly French, from
"wawl." a crier, announcer, or herald.
Wawlworth and Walsworth are about
the only variations, of the name, with
"Allsworth" found occasionally IN
colonial records.
William Walworth, a settler OF New
London, 1889, and who came from
MiddIesex, is called the father OF all
Walworths of this country. He came
over at the request of the Wfnthrops.
to teach the colonists all about the
methods Of English agriculture, and
was first given land on Fishers Is
land, Long Island.
William claimed" descent from Sir
William Walworth, lord mayor OF Lon
don, in the reign of Richard II. Sir
William had his seat at Walworth.
The pilgrims sons numbered three,
William, John and Thomas.
Like Robinson Crusoe. William the
first was, for a long time, monarch OF
all he surveyed, and Fisher Islands
sole citizen.
The Walworths have always been
brave men, true patriots and hrm
friends of liberty. They served In
every war. They were of those In
New England who saw quite enough
Indian fighting to make the text
"There remaineth rest for the peo-
pie of God" great favorite. On the
Groton monument, in the list of he
roes martyred at the storming of Fort
Griswold is the name Of Sylvester
Walworth, grandson Of William the
first. He married Sarah Holmes, and
the poor widow was consoled CD at
his death by a neighbor, an old wom-
an. in this way: why, the poor man!
It's too bad, and see he has his best
clothes all torn and spoiled. But new
er mind, dear, you can make them
over and they will do for your two lit
tie boys" Sylvester was the son of
John, who was cornet of troop Of
dragons, 1744, and became captain.
OF the Walworths, pioneers of New
York state, one of her most distin-
guished sons was Reumen Hyde Wal
worth, the last chancellor Of the state.
He was born near the close Of the
eighteenth century, in Connecticut. At
t6, che taught and gained little Lat
in" Without much schooling, he be-
came the greatest jurist of his day.
He was also vitality interested in all
the important questions making for
the good of his fellow men. and was
the first president of the New York
State Temperance society. 1929: presi-
dent of the American Temperance
union; vice-president of the Bible and
Tract society, and member OF the
Foreign Mission society. AS an au-
thor, besides the works On law, he
published an elaborate genealogy Of

John married twice and had IL
children. His six sons were John, Will
liam, Stephen, Thomas, Clement and
James. William, who became a Bap-
fist minister, is supposed to be the
first minister of that denomination to
be ordained in the colonies. In I'LL
he was ordained pastor of the First
Baptist church Of Newport. All the
sons married, and all but James left
also married, and, like the sons, all
but one left families. They were Sa-
rah, who married William Weldon;
Rebecca, who married a man named
Spooner; Debora, who married Robert
Taylor; Phebe, who married Thomas
Gray; Elizabeth, who married Peter
Taylor and Sussannah, who married
Peter Barker, and later Peter Wells.
With such substantial beginning
the family spread and prospered. By
100 they were known as large land
holders. They owned great deal of
property where New Bedford, Mass,
now stands, and they were mentioned
in many of the early lists of property
sales. Members of the fourth genera
ton, or the great-grandchildre of the
first John Peckham, went to Connec-
ticut, Rhode Island and Massachu-
etts; and members of the fifth genera
ton or the great-great-grandchi
went to New York state and settled in
Duchess county.
The Peckhams were well repre-
sented among the soldiers of the revo-
luton. Hoffman, in his list of the Off
GERS of the continental army in the
war of the revolution, gives the names
of two members of the family-Barker
Peckham, ensign in Tallman's Rhode
Island state regiment, and Benjamin
Peckham, who began as regimental
| quartermaster in 1777 and was made
| captain Of the Second Rhode Island
regiment in 1882, serving in that posi-
ton to the close of the war.
Good, substantial names seem to
have been favorite with this family.
Carew, John, Uriah, Susanna and Pc.
leg appear with great frequency.
There are several coats of arms
borne by the Peckham family, varying
! only slightly, however. The arms il.
Illustrated are those of the Peckhams
of county Kent, from which the Amer.
lean family probably came. The EN-.
blazoning is: Ermine q chief, quar-.
terly, or and gules.
Crest: An Ostrich proper.
Motto: Tentanda via est.
Ermine in heraldry always was a
| mark of dignity. In ancient times the
wearing of fur was confined to those
of good birth and wealth.

ACorner in Ancestors
Peckhaf71 Family
By ELEANOR LEXINGTON

The Peckhams get their name from
the parish of Peckham, in Kent county,
England. In Saxon ham" signifies
home or town, SO Peckham would be
the town of Peck, or the home of
Peck. 1t is supposed that the family
came originally from Scandinavia,
when the Normans came to England
In the eleventh century. Variations of
the name are Pecan. Packham and
Pecham.
John Peckham, who was Archbishop
of Canterbury from 1879 to 1892, is
generally considered the founder Of
the family. In 1927, however. there
was one Robert Peckham, chaplain to
King Henry l.. and he may have been
an ancestor of the Archbishop. Sir
Edmund Peckham, one Of the Arch
bishops descendants. was master Of
the mint to Queen Elizabeth, and
was knighted in 1912. He lived in
Buckinghamshire, county Kent His
son, Sir George Peckham, was mer-
chant adventurer, and with Sir Henry
Greenville and Christopher Carleile

E-.ttie Smith and John Colson were

their case was no exception to the
rule.
Kittie lived with a married sister,

"ShoW Me Another"

Soon after twins had arrived at the
home of prominent dry goods mer-

his son Richard, aged four, into the
room to see the little strangers. The
father first pulled down the covers
and showed one of the babies to his
son. He then walked to the other
side of the bed and exhibited the
other twin. Richard gazed at the two
for a moment with noncommittal
look on his face, and then demanded:

Yes, Miss Olson" was the reply, at
the same time indicating her box.
Kittie smiled consciously. "Colson!
Well, now, or an hour from now will

thought.

noon as she had closed the door.

murmured as she wrapped her veil
about her head, completely conceal

John, at the appointed place, lifted
her to the seat without speaking. AS
he backed, preparatory to turning,
another auto came swiftly down the
street, and ON the corner swerved
toward them.
