ERRATA AND ADDENDA

PAGE 54. Thomas (37). Statement as to his ancestry, which was repeated on pages 94-97, is corrected on pages 252, 253.

PAGE 55. Stephen (133) Sayre was a soldier in the Revolutionary War, from Essex County, N. J.

PAGE 67. Nathaniel (190) Sayre may have been the one referred to in the minutes of the Council of Safety, New Jersey, September 24, 1778; "Agreed that Joseph Holmes be paid for use of Patience Sayre, widow of Nathaniel Sayre, who died (February 18, 1777) in the service of the United States in Third New Jersey Battalion."

PAGE 68. John Sayre married Sept. 16, 1761, Esther McPelt, at Scotch Plains. PAGE 72. Jennie (23) should be Asenath, usually called Seena; married July, 1781, William Gelston.

PAGE 73. Ephraim (71). His will, dated October 12, 1761, was probated at Cape May, February 19, 1773, and therefore the date of death given, 1775, is erroneous. The children named therein were :

David, to whom were given 273 acres.

Lemuel, 100 acres.

Ephraim, 112 acres.

Judith.

Patience.

Lemuel (222) was a surveyor. He was appointed Justice of the Peace for Gloucester County September 11, 1776, and again September 28, 1781. PAGE 75. Daniel (88). His son John was appointed administrator January 7, 1760, and not his son Daniel.

PAGE 78. William Sayre is said to have married as first wife Esther High. The church record at Westfield states the groom's name as John Sayre, which is probably an error.

PAGE 97. Rachel, daughter of James (374) Sayre, was by the first marriage and not by the second. See page 584.

PAGE 106. Caleb (134) married Sarah Johnson. She was buried in St. Ann's churchyard, Richmond, Staten Island, the inscription on her gravestone reading: "Sarah, wife of Caleb Sayrs, died March 7, 1783, aged 33 years, 1 month, 16 days."

PAGE 106.

Uzal (135) married Mary Baldwin, daughter of Stephen Baldwin.

PAGE 115. William Sayre (472) removed to Ohio and settled in Deerfield Township, Warren County, where he died in September, 1816. His will, dated August 20, 1816, was probated September 25, 1816. He was probably unmarried, as his property was left to his brothers.

PAGE 119. Phebe Moore (513) born July 7, 1767.

PAGE 140.

Cyrus Richards (689) should be Thomas Richards.

PAGE 145. James Sayre was born June 19, 1745. He married Sarah, daughter of James Dennie, of Fairfield, Conn., instead of Sarah Forgue as stated. Following is an account of the families of two of his daughters, which was received just as these pages were going to press.

PAGE 292. Albert Howell Horton was born near Brookfield, N. Y., March 12, 1837, youngest son of Dr. Harvey A. and Mary (Bennett) Horton. After a preparatory course in the public school and in the academy at Goshen, N. Y., he entered the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor in 1856, but was compelled to leave in his second year by reason of an affection of his eyes. He studied law and was admitted to practice in 1860 in Brooklyn, N. Y. The same year he removed from Goshen, N. Y., to Atchison, Kan. In April, 1861, he was elected city attorney of Atchison upon the Republican ticket, and in the following September was appointed District Judge of the second judicial district of the State by Gov. Charles Robinson, a position to which he was twice elected without opposition, and which he resigned to resume the practice of his profession. From 1861 to 1864 he was one of the editors of the "Weekly Champion," a newspaper published at Atchison. In 1868 he was a Republican presidential elector. In May of the following year President Grant appointed him United States Attorney for Kansas. In November, 1872, he was elected a member of the House of Representatives of Kansas from Atchison, and in November, 1876, State senator from Atchison County, which position he resigned January 1, 1877, to accept an appointment by Gov. Osborn to the position of chief justice of the Supreme Court of Kansas. The same year he was elected chief justice to serve an unexpired term; in 1878 he was reëlected for the full term of six years, and was renominated and reëlected in 1884 and 1890. He was long president

of the Alumni Association of Michigan University for the Southwest. On April 30, 1895, he resigned his position as chief justice to resume the practice of his profession at Topeka, Kan., as a member of the law firm of Waggener, Horton & Orr.
