(506.) SARAH MCALLASTER and JAMES MCLAUGHLIN.
Married and settled in Bedford, N. H. Parental opposition early troubled the course of
true love in this case, resulting in estrangement and the betrothal of the fair lady (she
was very fair) to another. While a merry quilting party was in progress in furtherance of
the preparations for a speedy marriage, the mystical "last stitch" being
contended for, the discarded lover arrived after long absence, and, smiting the work with
his riding-whip, exclaimed, "John Goffe shall never sleep under that quilt!" The
prospective bride was easily brought to the same determination, and hence the name of
James McLaughlin appears above. They removed to Niagara, Upper Canada, now Province of
Ontario, where she died 1794. Her husband served in the War of 1812, and died at
the house of his son William, in Bloomfield, N. Y., Feb. 20, 1821.

(526.) PAUL SPOFFORD and SARAH SPOFFORD (1059).
Married March 26, 1852; resided in New York City.
“Paul Spofford remained on his father's farm,
assisting in its cultivation until the age of eighteen, when he entered the store of A. M.
Hatch in Haverhill, Mass., where, with the exception of a short stay in Salem, N. H., he
was clerk and junior partner until 1818. He then formed a partnership with his friend,
Thomas Tileston, at that time editor of the Haverhill Gazette, and went to New York to
establish a commission business. It was a partnership that continued without change until
Mr. Tileston's death, forty-six years afterwards. Mr. Tileston was a highminded man, of
great intelligence and ability, blessed with a family in all respects worthy of him. The
very great intimacy between the two partners and their families, who during this whole
period occupied adjoining houses, was much commented on. These harmonious relations
contributed much to the success of the firm.
“In a year or two their agency of the Boston packets,
and their Spanish trade with the West Indies and South America, led them into a shipping
business, which soon became very large. Their flag, yellow, a blue cross, the letters S T
white, was in time well known in the four quarters of the globe. They did a large banking
business, were large importers of West India and South American produce, and were heavily
engaged in trade with Europe and all parts of the United States.
“Spofford & Tileston were the first to inaugurate
in this country successful ocean steam navigation. Others had made sporadic attempts on
our coast, but disastrous, because with light boats not fit for heavy weather. It was
supposed that we could not build marine engines in the United States. They showed, when
they built the steamship 'Southerner,' and put her on the Charleston route, under Capt.
Michael Berry, that American skill could build steamships equal to any in the world.
Collins, Vanderbilt, Law, Aspinwall, and others soon followed with their splendid
steamships, and for a time it seemed as if the supremacy would pass from England.
“During the Civil War Spofford & Tileston were
firm adherents of the North, and aided largely with their means and counsel. Some of their
steamers entered government service. They armed the others and obtained commissions in the
navy for the captains. As for their sailing ships, they trusted to the prudence of their
commanders. One of their steamers, the 'Nashville,' was seized by the Confederates, and as
a privateer did much mischief. All their other vessels escaped harm, though they had
refused to yield to the temptation to put them under a foreign flag. It was a great
gratification that during their long career as steamship owners, none met with disaster,
nor was there ever any loss of life by accident.
"In 1864, Mr. Spofford lost by death this friend and
partner of half a century, but he bore up manfully under the blow, and continued in active
business until his own death, five years later -- Oct. 28, 1869.
"Mr. Spofford was director in numerous banks,
railroads, and insurance and other companies, and was for many years treasurer and member
of the council of the New York University.
"He was a very active man, full of life and energy,
of lithe, spare form, of dark complexion, very bright black eyes, beautiful silky hair
clustering in natural curls, black as jet, until age began to tinge it gray. He always
enjoyed excellent health, the result of a good constitution and a prudent life, free from
excess of any kind; it stood him in good stead in 1858, when, suffering from a fearful
blow on the head, caused by accident, it seemed for many weeks almost impossible to save
him. He was a man of very deep feelings, a devoted husband and father, and very kind and
considerate to those under him. There never was the slightest appearance of that
haughtiness and assumption which great success begets in some men. On the contrary, he was
modest and retiring in demeanor. Though somewhat slow of speech, he was very witty and
quick at repartee. When a lad he excelled in riding, shooting, skating, and wrestling; but
in manhood, business so completely occupied his attention that he gave them up entirely,
except that he and Mr. Tileston always having good horses, would generally ride out
together on pleasant afternoons.
"In the early part of this period he had a splendid
sorrel, a most beautiful horse, full of fire and life, with arching neck, expressive eyes,
a long tail sweeping the ground and most gracefully carried. No one but Mr. Spofford could
ride him. He understood all his ways. It needed great care and quickness to mount him.
Then the horse, after cuvetting, prancing sideways, and rearing so he would almost fall
backwards, and by these actions having greatly delighted all the urchins in the street,
would suddenly break into a gallop, and yielding to the kind but firm treatment of his
master, comport himself in a proper manner during the ride. He was perfectly fearless, and
portrayed most vividly the war-horse so powerfully described in the Book of Job. The poor
horse came to a bad end. In struggling with his groom, while he managed to throw him, he
broke his own leg. Mr. Spofford mourned greatly for him, and was never afterwards in
saddle, but contented himself with good driving horses.
"In those days (1825-50) New York was far below its
present colossal size. The Bloomingdale road and Third Avenue afforded many miles of
pleasant drives, where now there are only stone-paved streets and solid blocks of
buildings.
"When he landed in New York, green fields began at
Canal Street, less than a mile from the Battery, and it was a most picturesque commingling
of hills, and woods, and rocks, and glens, and grassy dells -- a scenery far surpassing in
natural beauty the far-famed Central Park. Almost every turn of the roads gave enchanting
views of the Hudson and East Rivers, their banks enlivened with charming country
residences. At that time there was no gas; the streets were dimly lighted with oil.
There were no stoves nor ranges; all cooking was with wood. There was no Croton. For
household purposes water was brought by the servants from pumps in the streets or from
cisterns in the yards. Many families bought 'spring water' by the pail, brought to them in
carts that made a daily round. There were no railroads, no steamships, and but very few
and very slow steamboats. It was long before the telegraph, photography, and other
wonderful inventions of this nineteenth century, now so common that we can hardly realize
how we would get on without them. Chicago, Kansas City, San Francisco, were not even
dreamed of. But why enlarge on what is patent to every one who gives the subject a
moment's thought?
"In the life of so prominent a citizen, amid such changes, there are many
incidents which would be of interest, but this outline must suffice."

where he died from fracture of the skull, by being thrown from his horse.
"He was a good rider, and no one knows how it happened, only that an hour after he
had left the house in the full flush of health, he was picked up on the Boulevard
and brought home.
As the groom lifted him from the wagon
he partially revived, and murmured, "I don't know how
it happened"; then he became unconscious until his death a week
afterwards. He was universally beloved and respected, as near faultless as man can be.
He was a fine-looking young man, a great favorite in society, of quiet, refined
tastes, fond of music, painting, and scientific pursuits. His mind seemed to dwell
on improvements, and had he lived, doubtless he would have distinguished
himself as an inventor."
