| 603 | Hendrick Riker, son of Abraham,2 removed to New York, where he married Oct 20, 1722, Elizabeth, daughter of John Peek. He was a blacksmtih at Burling Slip, where he owned property. He was connected with the Dutch church, and in 1756 was elected alderman of the Out ward, but soon after resigned. He died July 27, 1761, at about 65 years. His widow died at a country seat on Chatham square, north side of James Street, Aug. 6, 1791, at 92 years. Their children who attained adult years, were Abraham, born 1723, died Sept. 8, 1742; John, born 1725; Henry, born 1740, and James, born 1742. James studied law and was admitted to the bar April 3, a763. On June 5, succeeding, he married Mary, daughter of Capt. Viner Leaycraft, but had no issue. Mr. Riker pursued his legal vocation in New York, having his office at the corner of James and Chatham Streets. He died Feb. 20, 1792, at 50. Henry chose "a life on the ocean wave," and long commanded a New York Merchantman. He married but had no issue that survived infancy. Where he died is uncertain; his will, dated June 8, 1781, was proved Feb. 15, 1790. John married Dec. 10, 1747, Dorothy, daughter of Rem Remsen, and wrought many years at the anvil at Burling slip, and having amassed a fortune retired to the country seat on Chatham Square. His wife died Nov. 2, 1785, and he Jan. 23, 1806, in his 81st year. He was a good man, and was sincerely respected. At family devotion it was his custom to read two chapters from the scriptures, one in Dutch, the other in English. Of his ten children but five reached maturity, namely, Henry, born 1748, John born 1755, Jeromus, born 1760, James, born 1763 and George, born 1768. Henry received the command of a vessel, and it is said died in the West Indies. George removed in 1818 from Chatham Square to Greenwich, on New York Island, where he died unmarried Sept. 8, 1827, at 59. James married in 1793, Margaret, daughter of Lamb Turner, and was for a time a merchant, and then a clerk in the Naval and Surveyor's offices. He died in 1800, or the year preceding, leaving issue, Margaret, and John Turner. Jeromus, though at first engaged in mercantile business with James, spent most of his life in the easy enjoyment of the wealth derived from his father. He resided with his brother George, and died at Greenwich, unmarried April 6, 1824 at 63. His brother John, a sail-maker, married Martha, daughter of Henry Relyea, an amiable woman, who survived him many years. He died of yellow fever, Oct. 11, 1795, in his 41st year. His children were John, Dorothy married James Patton, Elizabeth married Capt. John Hacker, Phebe married John Wade, and Ann who married John I. Decker.

| 612 | Her biography: American writer, noted for her popular histories. Tuchman was praised for her lucid style, narrative power and portrayal of the protagonists in world dramas as believable human beings. Meaning, in Tuchman's view, emerges not from preconceived design but from the aggregation of details and events that fall into a pattern. Tuchman was a two-time winner of the Pulitzer Prize, whose subjects varied from the Trojan War to the Vietnam War, from description of medieval daily life to the portraits of world leaders of the First World War. "A phenomenon noticeable throughout history regardless of place or period is the pursuit of governments of policies to their own interests. Mankind, it seems, makes a poorer performance of government than of almost any human activity. In this sphere, wisdom, which may be defended as the exercise of judgment acting on experience, common sense and available information, is less operative and more frustrated than it should be. Why does holders of high office so often contrary to the way reason points and enlightened self-interest suggest? Why does intelligent mental process seem so often not to function?" (from The March of Folly: From Troy to Vietnam, 1984) Barbara Tuchman was born in New York City. Her grandfather, Henry Morgenthau Sr., was Woodrow Wilson's Ambassador to Turkey and her father, Maurice Wertheim, was a banker, who bought The Nation magazine from the Villards when it was on the verge of bankruptcy. Tuchman was educated at Radcliffe College and Cambridge, Mass. From 1934 to 1935 she worked as a research assistant at the Institute of Pacific Relations in New York and Tokyo, and then started her career as a journalist contributing to several magazines. Tuchman was the editorial assistant of The Nation, a staff writer of War in Spain, and an American correspondent of New Statesman in London (1939), with Far East News Desk and Office of War Information (1934-45). Tuchman's first book, THE LOST BRITISH POLICY, appeared in 1938, after the Loyalist had lost the Spanish Civil war which she saw as the end of the liberal world. In 1939 she married Lester R. Tuchman; they had three children. Tuchman was a trustee at Radcliffe College (1960-72), a lecturer at Harvard University, University of California, U.S. Naval War College, and other institutions. In 1979 she was appointed the chairperson of American Academy of Arts and Letters. She also received a number honorary degrees. Tuchman died on February 6, 1989. "Dead battles, like dead generals, hold the military mind in their dead grip and Germans, no less than other peoples, prepare for the last war." (from August 1914) Tuchman became well known in the 1960s with the publication of THE GUNS OF AUGUST (1962), a study of events leading up to World War I. It is considered by most critics to be her best, although historians generally contest the thesis of the work - that the outcome of the war was decided during the first month. "No more distressing moment can ever face a British government than that which requires it to come to a hard, fast and specific decision." The Guns of August traced the actions of statesmen and patriots alike in Berlin, London, St. Petersburg and Paris. "For one August in its history Paris was French - and silent." (from August 1914, 1962) The story of the first 30 days of the first global war won The Pulitzer Prize. The most famous reader of Tuchman's work was President John F. Kennedy, an amateur historian himself. In Roger Donaldson's film Thirteen Days (2000), a truthful dramatization of the 1962 Cuban missile crisis, Kennedy mentions the book, and compares the situation with the chain of misjudgments that had led to tragedy nearly 50 years earlier. Tuchman's second Pulitzer Prize came from the biography of U.S. General Joseph Stilwell (1971), in which she explored the United States' relationship with 20th-century China as epitomized in the wartime experiences of General Stilwell. With regard to U.S. foreign policy in China it questions "how could America act so confidently when it knew it was wrong?" Among her other works are A DISTANT MIRROR (1978), which presented a vivid picture of the life in 14th-century France, paralleling its natural and man-made disasters to our own century. In THE MARCH OF FOLLY (1984) Tuchman examined four conflicts and turning points in history: The Trojan War, The Protestant Secession, The American Revolution and The American War in Vietnam. "Character is fate," is one of Tuchman central themes - of course the Trojans suspected that the famous horse was full of Greeks or a cunning threat, but they did what their enemies wanted them to do. The Presidents Kennedy, Johnson and Nixon and men who surrounded were competent and did not lose the Vietnam War through ignorance, which is for Tuchman another example how fatally flawed is the psychology of a governing class. "The power to command frequently causes failure to think," concludes the author who sees that folly is a child of power. Later, in her essay 'Learning from History,' she stated that young people opposed to war shouldn't to turn their backs on military service and other Vietnams can be prevented only by the presence of the college-educated in the Army. In THE FIRST SALUTE (1988) Tuchman analyzed the American Revolution. She placed the war in the historical context of centuries-long conflicts between England and both France and Holland, and painted a vivid portrait of General George Washington. The title of the book refers to a salute of gunfire on November 16, 1776, when St. Eustatius, a small island in the West Indies, acknowledged a ship flying the flag the red-and-white flag of the Continental Congress, recognizing American sovereignty. PRACTICING HISTORY (1981) was a collection of essays, in which Tuchman presented the historian as a storyteller who discovers a thesis only after the material is thoroughly studied and understood. Historians must know when to stop research and start writing it. ''It is laborious, slow, often painful, sometimes agony . It means rearrangement, revision, adding, cutting, rewriting. But it brings a sense of excitement, almost of rapture; a moment on Olympus. In short, it is an act of creation.''

|
| 624 | Her gravestone records her name as "Theodosie." Theodosie Carman, Samuel Carman Sr.'s daughter, was likely the same person as the Theodosia Smith recorded in the 1850 and 1860 censuses. She was living near to Samuel, Jr. (who would have been her brother), and she had property. She married a Seth Smith who by 1850 is deceased. (Seth Smith does not appear to have been of the "Tangier" Smith family of the Manor of St. George. Her sister, Hannah, did marry William Smith 'Tangier'.) "Mrs. Theodosie Smith" is buried in the Carman Family Cemetery in South Haven. | Carman, Theodosie ^ (I401)
|
| 625 | Her gravestone records her name as Theodosi. Her daughter is recorded as "Theodosie." [There is some uncertainty on Theodosi's maiden name and therefore her ancestry. In addition to the carman.net source indicating "Latting," Stephanie Bigelow indicates her name to be "Homan" and that it is through the Homan family that Samuel came to be the proprietor of the South Haven mills. I have not been able, however, to yet find a Theodosi among the Homan's that could have been Samuel's wife. Smith and Hoff indicate her name was "Fish." All agree that her given name is "Theodosi(a)." Part of the uncertainty may be due to difficulties in her husband Samuel Carman's lineage. Or Bigelow may have confused the wife of Samuel Carman, Jr., who was a Homan (Catherine), with the wife of Samuel Carman, Sr.] | Latting, Theodosi > (I396)

| 636 | His entry in the Yale College Biographical record reads as follows: William Carman (Fire Place, L. I.), son of Capt. Samuel Carman and Catharine (Homan) Carman, was born at South Haven, Suffolk County, L. I., April 26, 1819,—-his father being a widely known and highly esteemed citizen of that place. After graduation he commenced the study of medicine with Dr. Willard Parker in New York City, attending the usual course of lectures in the college of physicians and surgeons in that city, and passing the customary examinations. He received the degree of M. D. from that institution in March, 1846, and immediately entered upon the practice of his profession at Port Jefferson in his native county, where he remained until March, 1854. During his eight years' residence in Port Jefferson, he acquired the reputation of being an excellent physician, enjoyed a growing and lucrative practice, and was highly esteemed by the citizens of that county, as well as by its Medical Society. But San Francisco, then rapidly springing into notoriety and importance on the Pacific coast, early attracted his attention, and he finally decided to go there, sailing from New York on the steamship George Law, March 20, 1854. On reaching San Francisco he at once entered on the practice of his profession, meeting with most encouraging success. He has remained in that city ever since, actively engaged in practice, and taking a high stand among its local physicians and surgeons. All who have known him in San Francisco speak of him in high terms, and represent him as having a handsome practice. In his social relations he is represented as genial, warm-hearted, and generous to a fault, and as at all times maintaining the reputation of a most worthy and estimable citizen. A gentleman who has known him intimately in California writes: "I have been very intimate with Dr. Carman, for many years, and know his many virtues as well as some of his faults. He cares less for the "Almighty Dollar" than any man I ever knew. He has had a large practice, and ought to have grown rich out of it. But I doubt if he ever dunned a patient in his life. If one paid him, well and good; if not, equally so. And any impecunious member of the profession could borrow his last dollar, on the same easy terms of payment. This you may say is a fault so nearly allied to virtue (a Websterian virtue, for instance) as to be by many mistaken for it; but having lived in California myself, I do not regard it an over-commendable virtue for that section of the country. But this, and his short-comings as a correspondent, are the Doctor's chief faults. He is hospitable, genial, warm-hearted, and, in his friendships, as true as steel. Many Long Islanders have been in California, and this is the uniform testimony they bear of him. He has always maintained the reputation of a first-class physician, and a high-minded and honorable citizen and gentleman. This was his record in Port Jefferson, and I know that his California history will not falsify it." He was married in San Francisco, Cal., in July, 1854, to Miss Margaret Smith, daughter of Col. William Smith, of Whitestone, Queens County, L. I., an intelligent and most estimable lady, who died about two years ago. He has had three children, two boys and one girl. The elder of the boys died at the age of about four years. The two surviving children are Annie Carman, aged about twenty, and William Carman, Jr., aged about seventeen years. | Carman, William H. ^ (I263)
|
| 637 | His father's obituary, as it appeared in the Congregational Quarterly, June 1862, stated: "His first permanent religious impressions seem to have occurred at the death of his first born son, in its infancy; from which event, he ever after dated his conversion to God." No name was given to this son. Abram died at age four years, an age not normally considered infancy, but nevertheless an age at which strong feelings of affection could have developed between father and son. Abram's name was found memorialized on his father's grave monument. | Hawkins, Abram ^ (I7991)
