"As for my son David, I left him his portion when I

came from him." Makes daughter Sarah Curtis sole executrix. Dated August 30, 1665. Witnesses, John Conckling, sr., Simon Grover, Jacob Conckling. Proved Nov., 1665. Sarah Curtis of Hashamomack, near Southhold, L. I., is confirmed as executrix and Quietus granted Oct. 5, 1666, by Gov. Nicoll. Note: This name after many changes is now Corwith, and the family are numerous on Long Island. (N. Y. Historical Collections, 1892, Abstracts of Wills, vol. 1, page 344.) David Carwithy was at Salem 1644. Wife's name Grace. (Savage's Gen. Dict. vol. 1, page 344.) David Carwith is chosen Constable of Marblehead for the year ensuing, Jan. 25, 1644, at Salem. (Essex Institute, vol. 9, page 127). At a general town meeting, April 20, 1658, he was chosen on a jury at Salem. (Essex Institute, vol. 9, page 216.) Mary, his daughter, married Wm. Chichester. (Essex Institute, vol. 14, page 252.) She was received into church at Salem, Dec. 23, 1657. (Essex Institute, vol. 15, page 81.) David Carwithy and daughter Sarah Curtis then removed to Southhold 1665. (Essex Institute, vol. 15, page 77.)

*Note. In the Crammer line given in New Jersey Genealogies, Elizabeth daughter of David Carwithy is said to have married John Crammer who lived in Long Island about 1660, but removed to New Jersey soon after and whose descendants now live near Trenton, N. J. (vol. 1, page 133). In Pope's History of Taunton it is said that David Carwithy was proposed as freeman there in 1639, but "as nothing more is heard of him, he probably died soon after" (page 36).

MRS. GERTRUDE IRENE GEAR STUBBS

The passing away on March 22, 1924, of Mrs. Gertrude Irene Gear Stubbs was a sorrow to a wide circle of friends in church and patriotic work.

She was a devoted church communicant being the daughter of Ezekiel G. Gear, known as "Father Gear", the once famous pioneer chaplain of Ft. Snelling. He was the first Episcopal minister to hold service in Minnesota, about 1830.

Mrs. Stubbs was born at Ft. Snelling, Minnesota, where her natural love of patriotism inherited from her father, and cultivated by her environment, became the prominent characteristic of her life. She loved the work of genealogical research, helping people all over the country to make out their papers for the Colonial Dames, Daughters of Founders and Patriots of America, Daughters of the America Revolution and Daughters of 1812, in which organizations she held many national, state and local offices. She had been National Registrar of the Colonial Dames resident in Nebraska since the beginning of the organization in 1908, and was Honorary State Registrar of the Daughters of the American Revolution.

Those closely associated with her for the thirty years which she lived in Nebraska will greatly miss her gentle, faithful, earnest work and spirit.
