II. May, married Luther Stuart of Berlin, Vermont.  Of her a friend writes:  "Mrs. Stuart was in 
   some respects a remarkable woman, singularly well-read for her opportunities in English 
   literature and especially in the whole range of English poets."  She was "wonderfully 
   sympathetic, affectionate, and magnetic in her influence upon others."  Her children were,
	1. Henry L., read law with the Honorable A.L. Baker of Buffalo, New York; studied 
	   medicine with Dr. Hatch of Fort Ann, New York; from 1837 to 1840 a civil engineer in

           the development of various appliances of inventive mechanics, and associated with  
           various reformatory movements in the city.  "His varied pursuits have brought him into
           contact with most of the leading thinkers and workers of the metropolis.  He has long

	   Horace Greeley writes of him: "Of those I knew and loved in youth the majority have 
	   already crossed the dark river, and I will not impose even their names upon an
	   unsympathizing world.  Among them is . . . . .. A young poet of promise, who was 
	   slowly yielding to consumption, when the tidings of our Bull Run disaster snapped 
	   short his thread of life."  He left a wife and daughter residence Long Island.
