Rathbone/Lincoln Connection

Below is the interesting story of Henry Rathbone and Clara Harris. Below that is the genealogy of Henry's family, showing how they are connected to the Stephentown/Berlin Rathbone/Rathbun family.

There was a Rathbone involved in one of the most tragic events in American history. His name was Henry Reed Rathbone and he was born in Albany on July 1, 1837. He was the son of Jared Lewis Rathbone, who was the last mayor of Albany, chosen by the Albany Common Council on January 21, 1839, as well as the first mayor of Albany elected by popular vote on December 30, 1839. Jared was born on August 2, 1791 in Colchester, New London County, Conneticut. He was a member of the Whig political party. He married Henry's mother, Pauline Penney on June 26, 1834. Jared died on May 13, 1845 in Albany, NY and is buried in Albany Rural Cemetery. Henry was just 8 years old when his father died.

Henry's mother remarried, joining her family with that of Ira Harris, who was a prominent judge in Albany. He was born on May 31, 1802 in Charleston, NY. He joined the Whig party in 1845, a member of the NY State Assembly in 1844 and 1845, a New York State senator in 1846 and judge to the New York Supreme Court in 1848. In 1861 he was appointed Senator from New York to take the place of William Seward's place.
Ira Harris
According to the book "Henry and Clara" by Thomas Mellon, Ira was a loving father, who doted on his daughter Clara, who was a couple of years older than Henry. Henry and Clara became step brother and sister, but they also became best friends. As they grew up, Clara noticed the handsome Henry in ways other than sisterly and the attraction was lifelong.

While Major Henry Rathbone and Clara Harris were newly engaged, they lived off Lafayette Square in Washington, DC, in the Harris home. Clara, through her father, who was a senator, was invited to various gatherings hosted by Mary Todd Lincoln, at the White House. According to Mellon's book, Mrs. Lincoln and Clara because quite close, to the exclusion of her social climbing step-mother/mother in law, Pauline Penney Rathbone Harris. It was due to this friendship, that Mrs. Lincoln invited Clara and her handsome fiance to join her and President Lincoln at Ford's Theatre on the night of April 14, 1867.

Henry Reed Rathbone
    
Per a relative Susan Harris, the picture on the right is of Clara Harris Rathbone and the other two pictures, previously thought to be of Clara, are of someone else.

Henry and Clara were in the box at Ford's Theatre when John Wilkes Boothe entered and shot President Lincoln in the head. Clara was perched prettily on a chair next to Mrs. Lincoln and Major Rathbone was seated on a sofa just behind Miss Harris. (That sofa is the only piece of furniture from that night still on display at Ford's Theatre). Booth was nearly silent as he entered the box and there was a great deal of laughter from the play on the stage. When the shot rang out, though it was heard by those in the box, they didn't react as they thought that it was part of the play. However, when Mrs. Lincoln looked over at her husband, she realized that something was very wrong. Major Rathbone looked toward the Lincoln's and saw Booth, holding his gun and a knife. Rathbone tried to subdue Booth, and in the process was stabbed quite severely in the arm. As everyone was beginning to realize that the President had been shot, Booth jumped from the box to the stage and ran into the night. The destruction he left behind was largely unknown to him, as the legacy from that night lived on for many, many years, in both the Lincoln and Rathbone families.

Henry and Clara were married in 1867, but their union was not the storybook love story that Clara had imagined for so many years. Henry suffered from severe mood swings and depression, stemming from his guilt that he couldn't somehow stop Booth from carrying out his evil plot. Until the day he died, Henry couldn't hear the name Lincoln, without suffering flashbacks.

He was fairly successful in life, and supported his growing family of two sons and a daughter. He was appointed U.S. Consul to Germany, taking his family to Hanover, Germany to live.

On Chrismas morning, 1883, Clara awoke to find Henry in the children's room, with a gun. She was able to talk him out of the room, and when she asked him what he was doing, he told her that he had to kill the children. She pleaded with him, and while doing so, he turned on her and he shot her, killing her. He then tried to kill himself by stabbing himself 6 times. He wasn't successful in his suicide attempt, but his children were spared.

He was tried for the murder of his wife, found guilty and sent to an asylum in Hildesheim, Germany, where he lived until his death on August 14, 1911. He never recovered his sanity and much of the time, didn't remember what he had done or his children. The children were raised by Clara's brother William and his wife, in Illinois.

The photo on the left is an artist's interpretation of the shooting of President Lincoln. The one on the right is what the box looks like today. The picture which is between the two buntings is of George Washington and was hanging there the night of the shooting.


Henry Riggs Rathbone
One of their sons was Henry Riggs Rathbone, who was born February 12, 1870, coincidentally, President Abraham Lincoln's birthdate. He became a successful lawyer and eventually became a member of the House of Representatives in 1922 and remained so until his death on July 15, 1928.
RATHBONE, Henry Riggs, (grandson of Ira Harris), a Representative from Illinois; born in Washington, D.C., February 12, 1870; was graduated from Phillips Academy, Andover, Mass., in 1887, from Yale University in 1892, and from the law department of the University of Wisconsin at Madison in 1894; was admitted to the bar in 1895 and commenced practice in Chicago, Ill.; delegate to the Republican National Convention in 1916; elected as a Republican to the Sixty-eighth, Sixty-ninth, and Seventieth Congresses and served from March 4, 1923, until his death; chairman, Committee on Expenditures in the Department of Commerce (Sixty-ninth Congress); nominated for reelection in 1928; died at Chicago, Ill., on July 15, 1928; interment in Rosehill Cemetery. NOTE: On May 25th, 2007, my husband and I went to Rosehill Cemetery, looking for the Rathbone graves. After some research by cemetery staff, they found that his grave had been moved in 1929 to Acacia Cemetery in Chicago. It is speculated, by Acacia Cemetery staff that the transfer might have taken place because Acacia started as a cemetery for Masons and he might have been a Mason. I haven't been able to find any reference to this, but it could be. I have searched for an explanation for the symbol on his gravestone, but so far haven't found anything. (Tina)

These Rathbones have a common ancestry with the Rathbone/Rathbun family in the Berlin/Stephentown area. Below you can find the common ancestory. You will also see that they married into many other families common to the Stephentown area.







Speaker at Lincoln Banquet Here Dies in Illinois Hospital


Well Remembered in Fairfield County For His Talk on Lincoln


Chicago, July 16, 1928 Henry Riggs Rathbone of Kenilworth, Illinois, representative-at-large since 1922, died in Presbyterian Hospital today following an operation.
Rathbone, who was a candidate for re-election, had been ill two years and an operation finally was deemed necessary. Apparently he was recovering satisfactorily and was able to talk to hospital attaches.
While he was talking to an interne, he complained of difficulty in breathing and died a moment later.
Although a successful trial lawyer, Rathbone was perhaps best known as a student of Lincolnia. He was speaker in 1925 at the annual Lincoln banquet held in Lancaster by the Fairfield County Republican Club. His father and mother, Mr. And Mrs. Henry Rathbone, were in the box in the Fort Theatre with Abraham Lincoln when the latter was assassinated. Rathbones researches into the life of Lincoln were manifold and his home is filled with relics of the martyr President.














Descendants of John Rathbone


Generation No. 1

1. JOHN4 RATHBONE (THOMAS (JR.)3, THOMAS2, WILLIAM1)1,2 was born 08 Mar 1629 in Ditton, Prescott Parrish, Lancashire, England3, and died 06 Oct 1702 in New Shoreham, Newport, Rhode Island, USA3. He married MARGARET ACRES3,4, daughter of THOMAS ACRES and MARGERY HOUGHTON. She was born 15 Sep 1633 in Prescott Parrish, Lancashire, England5, and died 15 Sep 1716 in New Shoreham, Newport, Rhode Island, USA5.

Notes for JOHN RATHBONE:
IMMIGRANT - immigrated 1654. Was one of first settlers of Block Island, RI 1661

This information is from Vol. I, pp. 183-187 of Hudson-Mohawk Genealogical and Family Memoirs, edited by Cuyler Reynolds (New York: Lewis Historical Publishing Company, 1911). It is in SCPL's Reference collection at R 929.1 R45. Some of the formatting of the original, especially in lists of descendants, may have been altered slightly for ease of reading.]

The family name of Rathbone is derived from the Saxon language, and signifies an early gift.

There have been various spellings of the name in this country, but some of them are by mistake, and it is best to speak only of those who, belonging to the same family by various lines of descent, have adhered to definite forms. It is declared, with good authority, that the similar name of Rabone (Raburt) was of the same origin, as was also Rawsbone and Rathbun. In "James Savage's Genrealogical Dictionary," prominent mention is made of George Rabun, and in "Belknap's History of New Hampshire" it is stated that this was probably a mistake for Rathbone, who was in Exeter in 1639. The year previous he had sympathized with the Rev. Mr. Wheelwright, a man of considerable learning, piety and position, and the brother of Mrs. Anne Hutchinson. With him, Rabun, or Rathbone, was banished from Boston for defending his religious opinions. Having been deprived of his privileges, he combined with some others suffering the same fate, about thirty-five in all, and set up an independent government at Squamscot Falls, New Hampshire, naming the place Exeter. The Rathbone arms consist of a shield argent, three doves azure. Crest: A dove proper, holding an olive branch. Motto: Suaviter et fortiter.

Regarding the origin of the family in America, there were several accounts formerly current. It was asserted that this family descended from Thomas Rathbone, who came from England in 1621. A second statement is to the effect that those of the name came from John Rathbone, a member of a Liverpool family who came to America in 1625. Another explanation is that they are descended from an elder brother of Colonel John Rathbone, who was an officer of the parliamentary army of 1658, noted for his devotion to Republican principles.

The earliest authentic records point to the Rev. William Rathbone as the first of the name appearing in America, and allusion is made to him in a work published in 1637, which item was reprinted in the "Historical Collections of Massachusetts." This man was an author. It is shown that his doctrinal views were not in accord with the members of the Massachusetts colony, and it is believed that he and likewise his descendants were not admitted into the New England church, with the consequence that they were not permitted to participate in the general public affairs.

The Rhode Island colonial records mention John Rawsbone, of New Shoreham, as one who was admitted to full political rights as freeman, on May 4, 1664, being the same person whom the Block Island records name John Rathbone. The latter was one of those who met at the house of Dr. Alcock on August 17, 1660, to confer regarding the purchase of Block Island, and was one of the original sixteen purchasers of that island from Governor Endicott and three others, to whom it had been granted for public services, hence he will long continue to figure in the country's history.

John Rathbone was chosen in 1676 one of the surveyors of highways. He occupied a place in the Rhode Island general assembly, in 1682-83-84, as representative from Block Island. He was one of the petitioners to the King of Great Britain in 1686 in reference to the "Quo Warranto," and was one of the Rhode Island grand jury in 1688. He had an interesting experience during the French and Indian wars which has been handed down with authenticity as family history. In the year 1689, in the month of July, Mr. Rathbone had a narrow escape from the French, who had come in three vessels and were then pillaging the island. They inquired of some one or more of the people "who were the likeliest among them to have money." They told them of John Rathbone as the most likely. The French proceeded to capture him, as they supposed, and demanded of him his money. The captive denied having any but a trifling sum. They endeavored to make him confess that he had more and to deliver it to them by tying him up and whipping him barbarously. While they were doing all this to an innocent man whom they mistook for the monied John Rathbone, the latter made his escape with his treasure. They had mistaken the son for the father, who by submitting to this cruelty in the room of his father saved him from being robbed.

That the lives of the early Rathbones who settled on Block Island were fraught with severe hardship and almost continuous danger may well be believed from all accounts. In his history of Rhode Island, Arnold makes this reference: "The local history of Block Island, truthfully written, would present an interesting study. The traditional history of the aborigines is full of the romance of war. Their authentic history in connection with the whites abounds in stirring incidents, the pecularities of the English settlers and their posterity, their customs, laws and domestic institutions are among the most singular and interesting developments of civilized life, while the martial defense of a people, within and around whose island there has been more hard fighting than on any territory of equal extent in America, and where the horrors of savage and of civilized warfare have alternately prevailed, almost without cessation from the earliest traditionary period down to a recent date, would altogether furnish material for a thrilling history that might rival the pages of a romance. The dangers of the sea and the sterner perils of war united to produce a race of men whose courage and hardihood cannot be surpassed. It was out of such material that naval heroes were made." Of this character were the men and women also of the earlier generations of the Rathbone family.



John Rathbone, of Block Island, was born about 1634, died there between February 12, 1702, the day on which he signed his will, and October 6, 1702, the date on which Simon Ray, warden, took oath that William Hancock, Jr., James Welch and Roger Dickens appeared before him to testify "that they were testimony to the signing and sealing." It is an interesting family document, and a portion of it is worth citing. "I give and bequeath to my son Samuel Rathbone the table and cubbard which stand now in his house as for are lomes (heirlooms?) to the house, and I leave my wife Margaret Rathbone my executrix of all my movable and household goods, houses and chattles, cattle, sheep and horse kind; and I leave (her?) the income of my house at Newport for her lifetime, and at her decease the westward (end?) of my house at Newport, and the leanto of that end so far as the post that the door hangs on, and the shop to be left for my son John Rathbone's son John, and his heirs forever, and the eastward end of said house and the rest of the leanto to be left for my son William Rathbone's son John and his heirs forever, and the yard to be equally for their use. And I leave to my wife for her life-time the twenty acres of land which I bought of Henry Hall, and the running of two cows and a horse and the end of the house which I now live in; and I leave that my four sons shall pay to my wife during her life-time forty shillings a piece a year. * * * And I leave to my wife during her life-time my nigger man and at her disposing, and at her decease to my son Thomas Rathbone for three years, and at the end of the three years, to give him as good clothes as his mistress leaves him, and then to set him free." It may be said in this connection that the family lands at Newport greatly increased in value, as did the estate situate in Block Island, and while he gave evidence of abolition tendencies by his provision for his negro, he did not care to put his ideas into effect while he yet lived.

Notes for JOHN (JR.) RATHBONE:
THIS IS THE COMMON ANCESTOR FOR THE STEPHENTOWN RATHBUNS AND HENRY REED RATHBONE, WHO WAS PRESENT AT PRESIDENT ABRAHAM LINCOLN'S ASSASSINATION.
**************************************************************************************************************************

John (2), son of John (1) and Margaret (Dodge) Rathbone, was born in Roxbury, Massachusetts, in 1658. He was admitted a freeman by the assembly of Rhode Island, May 5, 1696. He received from his father, just previous to his marriage, a deed for sixty acres of land on Block Island, the nominal consideration for which was "one barrel of pork on demand." It may be concluded that this farm was therefore a wedding present or settlement. It is known that the father, some years before his death, settled his sons on farms on the island where he lived, and entertained great hopes that his descendants would forever dwell there. Their grandchildren, however, scattered, leaving Samuel Rathbone's descendants the only one of the name on that island. The original settler's grandson, Jonathan, son of John Rathbone, Jr., removed to Colchester, Connecticut, and is the ancestor of the Rathbones of Albany, New York, as well as those of Otsego county, New York. Joshua, another son of John, Jr., settled at Stonington, Connecticut, and is the ancestor of the Rathbones of New York City. Other sons of the same, John, Benjamin, Nathaniel and Thomas, settled in Exeter, Rhode Island. Elijah, son of Samuel, settled in Groton, Connecticut, and in this way the family spread to various sections of the country, while very few represented the old stock at the place of original settlement. On December 13, 1698, "Great James" and Jane, his wife, two Indians, bound their daughter, Betsey, to John Rathbone, Jr., and his wife, as an indented servant for eighteen years, the consideration being only one gallon of rum and one blanket in hand, and five years after one gallon of rum, and yearly thereafter, and if she remained five years, then the said Rathbone was to pay four blankets and one every third year thereafter. John Rathbone, married, January 10, 1688, Ann Dodge. Children:

Notes for JOEL RATHBONE:
Joel, son of Samuel and Lydia (Sparhawk) Rathbone, was born in Salem, Connecticut, August 3, 1806, died in Paris, France, Sunday, September 13, 1863. He came to Albany, New York, to reside in the fall of 1822, as a clerk to his brother, Valentine W. Rathbone, who then kept a wholesale grocery store on the corner of Hudson avenue and Quay street, then the busiest section of the city. Two years later he became associated with him in business. In 1827, as one of the firm of Hermans, Rathbone & Company, he commenced the wholesale stovebusiness. By reason of certain modifications and improvements in the patterns of stoves made under his direction, he secured a very large and lucrative business, which became known all over the country, and doubtless was the most important concern of the kind then in America, and destined to make the name of Rathbone known for the century or more. Following the death of Mr. Hermans, in 1829, Mr. Rathbone succeeded to the entire business, which he continued in his own name until 1841, when at the early age of thirty-five years, with a well-earned fortune, he retired from active mercantile pursuits to the enjoyment of country life. He purchased a large estate bordering the southern end of Albany, which he laid out and made beautiful, and "Kenwood" became his residence for a number of years. Although he had retired from business cares so early, he was still connected with many of the public enterprises of Albany, being vice-president of the New York State Bank, the oldest institution in the city, president of the Exchange Company, doing business where the Federal Building was located in 1910, and an active co-operator in and a generous contributor to most of the benevolent enterprises of Albany. He was known as a conscientious and consistent Christian, a gentleman of unusual taste and refinement. He married, May 5, 1829, when twenty-two years of age, Emeline Weld, daughter of Lewis and Louisa (Weld) Munn, and she died in Newport, Rhode Island, August 25, 1874. Her father, Lewis Munn, was born December 14, 1784, died July 8, 1810. Her mother, Louisa Weld, was born April 1, 1791, died December 6, 1808. Children:

He married CLARA HARRIS 11 Jul 1867 in Albany, Albany, New York26, daughter of IRA HARRIS and PAULINE NOYES. She was born 1834 in Albany, Albany, NY, and died 23 Dec 1883 in Hildesheim, Germany.

More About HENRY REED RATHBONE:
Date born 2: 01 Jul 1837, Albany, Albany, New York, USA27
Died 2: 1911, Hildesheim, Germany27
Burial: Hanover, Germany. Cemetery was demolished in 1952 and Clara and Henry's remains were destroyed, when it was determined that there had been little interest or activity from family members.

Notes for CLARA HARRIS:
Clara's brother William Harris gave this press interview 1883 after his sister's

murder:

"In 1857, when I was working hard as a lawyer in this city [Albany] and had a good practice, Henry Rathbone, who had just graduated at Union College, came to me adn asked if I would take him as a law student. He was rich, worth about $200,000, but he desired to work and wanted a profession. I gave him a seat by my side and he worked hard at law books for a year, and then in 1859 he went to Europe and traveled about the Continent until the War of the Rebellion began. That brought him back to this country. I obtianed hima commission in the Regular Army.

"My belief is that Colonel Rathbone was...insane when he killed his wife. He was one of the kindest men toward his wife and family that I ever knew. His whole life seemed to be concentrated in his family...His wife loved him devotedly and was a gentle, kind-hearted Christian woman...he was in easy circumstances. He had a large fortune. He must have been made insane by dyspepsia...[just before leaving for Germany with his family in November 1882]he came into my law office...looking very ill. I asked him what was the matter and he then said he was suffering from dyspepsia. He described to me in a vivid way all the horrors of that disease...I have no doubt that he killed his beloved wife when his mind was clouded by the disease."

Friends and relatives theorize that he had brooded too much about his failure

to protect President Lincoln that his mind finally snapped.
