Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life and Public Services of Hon. Horace Greeley, Liberal Republican Candidate for President of the United States and of Hon. B. Gratz Brown, Candidate for Vice President: With a Record of the Proceedings of the Cincinnati Convention, Address to the People Platform of the Party, Etc;, Etc The name of Greeley is an old and not uncommon one in New England. The tradition is, that very early in the) history of New England - probably as early as 1650 - three brothers, named Greeley, emigrated from the neighborhood of Nottingham, England. One of them is supposed to have settled finally in Maine, another in Rhode Island, the third in Massachusetts. All the Greeleys in New England have descended from these three brothers, and the branch of the family with which we have to do, from him who settled in Massachusetts. Respecting the condition and social rank of these brothers, their occupation and character, tradition is silent. But from the fact that no coat-of-arms has been preserved or ever heard of by any member of the family, and from the occupation of the majority of their descendants, it is plausibly conjectured that they were farmers of moderate means and of the middle class. Tradition futher hints that the name of the brother who found a home in Massachusetts was Benjamin, that he was a farmer, that he lived in Haverhill, a township bordering on the south-eastern corner of New Hampshire, that he prospered there, and died respected by all who knew him, at a good old age. So far, tradition. We now draw from the memory of individuals still living. The son of Benjamin Greeley was Ezekiel, "old Captian Ezekiel," who lived and greatly flourished at Hudson, New Hampshire, then known as Nottingham West, and is well remembered there and in all the region round about. The captain was not a military man. He was half lawyer, half farmer. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
