President Andrew Sloan Draper AM, on my father ' s side, a descendant, eighth generation, of James (son of Thomas) Draper and Miriam Gideon Stansfield, married April 21, 1646, at Heptonstall, Yorkshire, England, some fortv miles from Scrooby, the early home of the Pilgrim fathers. A vear after their marriage the couple settled in Roxbury, Massachusetts, and thev now lie with a double stone above their honored graves within the limits of Boston. Their son, one of my grandfathers, was at the age of twentv- two and in the year 1675 among the Massachusetts troops in King Philip ' s war. Another in the direct line of descent was a member of the committee of correspondence and safety of the town of Spencer, Massachusetts, prior to and through- out the Revolution; and his son, my great-grandfather, was a soldier in the Revolutionary armv and member of a company commanded by my wife ' s great-grandfather. On my mother ' s side I am the grandson of Samuel Sloan and Rachel McMinn, Scotch-Irish people, who married in the north of Ireland in 1814 and very soon thereafter settled in northern New York. I was born in Otsego county, New York, June 21, 1848. From the age of five to seven I attended a- one-room country school, from seven to fourteen a. city grammar school; won a prize scholarship in the Albany academy, one of the best old-line classical institutions, and graduated therefrom at eighteen; taught in the academy and as principal of a village graded school and worked with a lumber firm in the summers for three years; took the course in the school of law of Union University, received the degree of LL.B. therefrom, and was admitted to the bar in 1871; commenced practice with my cousin, Mr. Alden Chester, now a justice of the supreme court of the state of New York, and continued the partnership for fifteen years. In 1 87 1 I became a member of the Congregational church. In 1872 I was united in marriage with Miss Abbie Louise Lvon of New Britain, Connecticut, and the bargain has been so advantageous to me that it seems strange she agreed to it. I was somewhat active in politics from 1876 to 1884, being a member of the New York legislature in I 881; chairman of the count v committee of my party organization for A villain with a smiling cheek. — Adsit. 10
