Descendants of Cyrus West Field
by Diane Druin Gravlee

Generation One

0.  Cyrus West FIELD^1,2,3,4,5,6 was born on 30 November 1819 at Stockbridge, Berkshire, Massachusetts. He was baptized on 28 May 1820 at the Congregational Church, Stockbridge, Berkshire, Massachusetts. He married Mary Bryan STONE, daughter of Frederick Joseph STONE III and Grace FOWLER, on 2 December 1840 at the home of the bride's grandparents, Guilford, New Haven, Connecticut, (not sure at which grandparents' home; other sources say they were married in Haddam, CT.).⁷ He died on 12 July 1892 at Irvington, Westchester, New York, at age 72 of general old age, disease of heart and mal-nutrition.^8,9 He was buried on 15 July 1892 at the Stockbridge Town Cemetery, Stockbridge, Berkshire, Massachusetts, with the funeral having been conducted the previous day at Ardsley Park, his summer home in Dobbs Ferry, New York.^9,8,10 His estate was probated circa November 1892 at Greenburgh Township, Westchester, New York, and read to the family at Ardsley Park by his brother and executor, Rev. Henry M. Field.  He stated, " It was Cyrus Field's desire to share equally what little now remains of his fortune among the families of his six children."  The "Yonker Herald" issue of 2 November 1892 was quoted as saying about Cyrus Field's estate,  "shortly after his brother's return from Europe, about 10 or 12 years ago, he estimated his income at $300,000 a year.  Recent years had seen his money dissipated like a fog bank, and now the bulk of the estate is the remaining monies of the heavy life insurance carried by Mr. Field, which is between $250,000 and $300,000.  Even this, if the suit now pending in the courts to establish Cyrus as a general partner instead of a special partner, in the wrecked firm of Field, Lindley and Company should success, [it] would be swept away."

     Cyrus West FIELD was named for Cyrus Williams, president of the Housatonic Bank in Stockbridge, and for Dr. Stephen West, who had been his father's predecessor for 60 years in the pastorate at Stockbridge, Massachusetts. At about age 2, he was so weak and frail that his little body had to be supported by a frame, in which he could roll around the room until his limbs could get strength enough to bear him.  But as he grew into boyhood and took up sports, the outdoor exercise gave him strength.  Although his frame was always slight, it became tough and wiry, capable of great effort and great endurance.¹¹ He was not interested in attending college and left Stockbridge. Between April 1835 and 1840 at 257 Broadway, New York, New York, New York, Cyrus West FIELD was employed by A.T. Stewart's great dry good store, a job that his brother, David Dudley, found for him and where he learned the business trade, starting as an errand boy and working up to a clerk. He lived between April 1835 and 1840 at Murray Street, New York, New York, New York, paying $2.00 a week for board and lodging. Between March 1840 and May 1840 Cyrus West FIELD was the founder of his own first paper manufacturing business at Westfield, Hampden, Massachusetts. He was employed by E. Root and Company as a junior partner; this firm failed almost immediately in June 1840 at 85 Maiden Lane, New York, New York, New York. He lived between 2 December 1840 and 1842 at Bond Street, New York, New York, New York, boarding at the home of Mr. Mason. He lived between 1842 and 1852 at 87 East 17th Street, New York, New York, New York, where he rented a house. He was the organizer of Cyrus W. Field and Company with his brother-in-law, Joseph F. Stone, as his partner.  This paper making enterprise earned him $250,000 between 1843 and 1853 at New York, New York, New York.¹² He lived between 1852 and 1892 at 123 East 21st Street, New York, New York, New York, in a house he had built in Gramercy Park; there is a historical plaque for his house at One Lexington Avenue.  His nephew, Frederick Joseph Stone, lived in his household at this address from 1861 to 1876.¹³ In 1853 Cyrus West FIELD retired from his business; he and his wife  took a 6 month cruise to South America, returning in October of this year.  They went with Frederic E. Church, the artist. In 1854 Cyrus West FIELD was the founder of the New York, Newfoundland and London Telegraph Company, forming it with Peter Cooper, Moses Taylor, and Marshall Roberts, who each put in $20,000 and with Chandler White, who put in a lesser amount, but died the following year and was replaced by Wilson Hunt.  This money went fast and eventually those who had contributed $20,000 to begin with had put in $200,000 and Cyrus' sum was even larger.¹⁴ He formed the Atlantic Telegraph Company, united himself with three other English gentlemen in 1856 at England. He was instrumental in the successful laying of a submarine cable to connect Cape Ray in Newfoundland and Cape Breton in Nova Scotia on opposite sides of the Gulf of St. Lawrence in July 1856. Between 5 August 1857 and 9 August 1857 Cyrus West FIELD was able to finance the first try of the laying of an Atlantic Telegraph cable.  It failed because after running out 360 miles of cable, it parted from the strain of applying the brakes and a large wave swell.  The United States government had provided the ship, "Niagara," and the English ship was the "Agamemmon."  Both ships had departed from Valentia at from the coast of Valentia, Kerry, Ireland.^12,15 On 10 June 1858 Cyrus West FIELD tried a second attempt to lay the cable; this time the ships spliced their sections of cable together in mid-ocean and sailed in opposite directions, but after only 200 miles, the cable broke again.¹² Between 28 July 1858 and 5 August 1858 Cyrus West FIELD was able to successfully find and splice the previous cable together in mid-ocean and again sail in opposite directions.  This third attempt worked, marking a milestone in world communications.  The "London Times" wrote of the event, "since the discovery of Columbus, nothing has been done in any degree comparable to the vast enlargement which has thus been given to the sphere of human activity."  But the cable went dead with a break 270 miles from Valentia on 1 September of that year, having transmitted only 400 messages, many of them weakly.  But in that brief time, the cable reduced the time for messages from two weeks by land telegraph and fast clipper ship, to a mere minute for every fifteen words of Morse Code.¹² In 1859 Cyrus West FIELD received a honorary master of arts degree from Williams College, Williamstown, Berkshire, Massachusetts.^6,16 He was a merchant with property valued at $50,000 in June 1860 at Yonkers, Westchester, New York. He and Mary Bryan STONE appeared on the census of 27 June 1860 at Yonkers, Westchester, New York.¹⁷ He was able to finance another laying of an Atlantic Telegraph cable.  The owners of the world's largest ship, "The Great Eastern," were happy to accept payment for the ship only if the cable laying was successful in 1864.¹² On 23 July 1865 Cyrus West FIELD again tried to lay 2,900 miles of cable.  This time from Valentia, Ireland to Newfoundland, but 600 miles from Newfoundland, the cable broke once more.  This cable was grappled and later recovered in 1866, giving the world two cables for sending messages across the Atlantic Ocean.^12,18 He witnessed after again coming up with the funds,  the successful laying of an Atlantic Cable on 27 July 1866 at Heart's Content, Newfoundland, Canada to Valentia Island, Ireland. He was the subject of resolutions of the United States Congress, each house passing theirs unanimously; these resolutions requested that a gold medal be struck to be presented to Mr. Field circa 1866.¹⁹ He was awarded the Grand Medal, the highest medal given by the French Exposition of that year in 1867.¹⁹ He lived between June 1869 and 1892 at between Irvington and Dobbs Ferry, Greenburgh Township, Westchester, New York, during summer seasons, where he owned 780 acres between South Broadway on the west to the Sprain Brook on the east. The estate was part of one town, two villages and four school districts.  It was named Ardsley Park after the English birthplace of his ancestor, John Field.  Here Cyrus built houses for each of his children as well as himself.  His home was a beautifully designed three story structure. The value per acre in 1884 was $583.  The modern address can be reached from South Broadway, turning up Osceola and taking a right turn onto Field Terrace.¹³ He was a promoter of a submarine telegraph cable linking the United States with Australia and Asia by way of Hawaii circa 1870.²⁰ He was telegraphing with property worth $50,000 in July 1870 at Greenburgh Township, Westchester, New York.²¹ He and Mary Bryan STONE appeared, at their country residence,  on the census of 12 July 1870 at between Irvington and Dobbs Ferry, Greenburgh Township, Westchester, New York; they also appear on the New York City, New York County, New York census of 1870 in the 18th Ward.^22,23 In 1875 Cyrus West FIELD received a honorary doctor of law degree; this year Cyrus also made broad proposals and gave money for the beautification of Williamstown and the Williams College campus from Williams College, Williamstown, Berkshire, Massachusetts.^24,6 He was in  1877 able to advance funds to his son, Edward Morse Field, an inexperienced stockbroker, to start a commodity firm with his son's brother-in-law, Daniel Lindley, who was an experienced stockbroker.  The firm was called Field & Lindley. Between between 1877 and October 1886 Cyrus West FIELD was the president of the New York Elevated Railroad Lines.  From its beginning, Cyrus fought for a uniform charge of five cents at all hours for passengers.  His efforts were realized with a victory on the morning of October 1, 1886.¹³ He was able to finance New York City's first skyscraper, the Washington Building, into which his son's firm, Field & Lindley, moved circa 1879 at New York, New York, New York. He was the owner of two newspapers, "Evening Express" and "Mail", which were later merged to become the "Mail and Express" at New York, New York, New York. On 6 June 1881 Cyrus Field wrote in his diary, "I have invited President Garfield to come to Irvington for a visit and then to go to Williams College for commencement on July 6th."  But as President Garfield was leaving Washington he was shot by an assassin.  The tragedy called forth from Cyrus Field's telegraph messages to friends in Europe and America: "If President Garfield should die from the wounds received on the 2nd, he would leave for his wife and children about $20,000.  I shall cheerfully subscribe $5,000, toward the sum to be raised.  If you or any of your friends would like to join, please telegraph me tomorrow for what amount I may put your name."  The subscriptions amounted to the sum of over $360,000.¹³ He was referenced in a land record when he purchased a large tract of acreage adjoining his property, which at that time extended into the Saw Mill River Valley.  It was Field's intention to build small, but comfortable houses for working men and their families on this land and rent them at rates of $10 to $20 a month, including a small plot of ground.  The construction of the Croton Aqueduct delayed the project, which was never actually realized because of Field's later financial losses in 1882 at Irvington, Westchester, New York.²⁵ In 1883 Cyrus West FIELD was honored when he visited the Canadian Rockies as a guest of the Canadian Pacific Railroad and a peak was named Mt. Field after him.  This information came from the "Peaks of the Canadian Rockies" website. In 1884 Cyrus and his wife, left New York in the car "Railway Age" for a trip to the Pacific coast, covering in all about 11,500 miles.  At a telegraph station in the west, Cyrus Field handed the clerk a message for transmission.  But the clerk seemed more interested in his customer than in turning to his instrument to send the message. Finally after studying the man for a few minutes he asked, "Are you the original Cyrus?"¹³ He speculated heavily in the commodity market, especially in his son's firm, Field, Lindley, Wiechers & Company, putting much of his personal wealth at risk in 1885. He was heavily invested in the commodity market and met financial disaster when the bottom fell out of this market on 24 June 1887. He lived in 1888 at between Irvington and Dobbs Ferry, Greenburgh Township, Westchester, New York, where he sold all but 21 acres and his house to Charles Henry Butler, who subdivided the property. He was given a loan by Pierpoint Morgan; the loan had been obtained by his son, Edward in January 1888. He wrote a will on 22 January 1892 at Westchester County, New York. He wrote a codicil on 31 May 1892 at Westchester County, New York, which simply appointed Daniel Lord, Jr as co-executor to replace George De Forest Lord, who had died. Cyrus West FIELD and David Dudley FIELD Jr, brothers, were two of the persons portrayed in the painting, "The Projectors of the Atlantic Cable" by Daniel Huntington.  Others in the oil painting are: Peter Cooper, Chandler White, Marshall O. Roberts, Samuel F. B. Morse, Daniel Huntington, Moses Taylor and William G. Hunt.²⁶

Daniel LINDLEY and Lucy Virginia ALLEN, on 4 June 1877 at New York, New York, New York.⁵¹ He died on 17 February 1930 at State Hospital, Central Islip, Suffolk, New York, at age 74.⁹ He was buried on 22 October 1935 at the Stockbridge Town Cemetery, Stockbridge, Berkshire, Massachusetts.^9,10

     He and Submit DICKINSON II are direct 8th cousins, despite the fact that Edward is the grandson of Submit.  Their common ancestor is Edward Sherman and his wife, Anna Clare Pellette. He appeared as a son on the census of 27 June 1860 in the household of Cyrus West FIELD and Mary Bryan STONE at Yonkers, Westchester, New York.¹⁷ He was injured on his head by a horseback riding accident in 1866. He appeared as a son on the census of 12 July 1870 in the household of Cyrus West FIELD and Mary Bryan STONE at between Irvington and Dobbs Ferry, Greenburgh Township, Westchester, New York; they also appear on the New York City, New York County, New York census of 1870 in the 18th Ward.^22,23 He and Daniel Allen LINDLEY were partners in starting a commodity firm together.  The firm was called Field & Lindley.  Daniel was an experienced stock broker, but Edward was not, but Edward had the financial backing of advance funds from his father, Cyrus Field in 1877. He was a merchant in June 1877.⁵¹ He lived at Ardsley Park, Dobbs Ferry, Westchester, New York, in a house built on the slope below his father's home.  Edward's house later burned, leaving only a summer cottage. He and Daniel Allen LINDLEY were still stockbrokers together in the firm Field & Lindley, but they moved the company into the Washington Building, New York's first skyscraper, which was funded by his Edward's father, Cyrus West Field circa 1879 at New York, New York, New York. He and Clara Louise LINDLEY were a communicant (although Clara's middle name was given as "Lee") at Irvington Presbyterian Church, Irvington, Westchester, New York, on 1 July 1883.⁵² He followed his father, Cyrus West Field, by investing in the commodity market deeply and put his firm, now called Field, Lindley, Wiechers & Company at risk in 1885. On 24 June 1887 Edward Morse FIELD Sr. was not very resourceful and did not have the ingenuity to extricate himself if cornered in an indiscretion.  He followed his father, Cyrus, blindly into disaster when the bottom fell out of the commodity market on this date.  Edward borrowed heavily from his own firm and was in trouble.  There were also beginning signs of irrationality at this time. In January 1888 Edward Morse FIELD Sr. was able to get a loan for his father, Cyrus West Field, from Pierpoint Morgan; Edward got this loan despite the fact his mind was beginning to cloud.
