Research Note
Subject: Mathias J. Van Tine
Date: Thu, 4 May 2000 13:59:45 -0600
From: dpetty@juno.com
To: cyocom@earthlink.net
I saw this name on your website. The names Mathias J. Van Tym and Caroline Van Tym appear on the court records of my 4th great grandfather Gideon Ellis of Aurelius, Cayuga, New York in 1841. The will was contested by the surviving son and the children of the deceased sons. I don't know which son is Caroline's father but her maiden name is Ellis. The records state that at that time the Van Tyms are "of Orleans."
Mathias Van Tine bought land in Sempronius, Cayuga, New York in 1809.
In 1840 he is on the census for Orleans County.
In 1850 he is in Leicester, Livingston Co. His occupation is carriage
maker.
wife-Caroline age 44
son-Henry K. age 21, carriage maker [One of Gideon's deceased sons was named Kimble. Possibly that is Henry's middle name.]
dau-Jane 15
son- Madison
In 1860 They are still in Leicester and Mathias' occupation is
blacksmith.
I lose their trail there. I have researched Mathias in hopes of finding out who Caroline's parents are. If you ever run across anything about Mathias, I would appreciate any leads.
This is all I have about Caroline and Mathias at this time. Any suggestions?

General Notes (Husband)
Mathias J. Vantine has to be a descendant of Charles Vantine (md. to Elizabeth Smock) and the only son of Charles Vantine who has sons which are not accounted for is Jacob Vantine md to Alida Post.
In the 1810 Census, Jacob has three sons under the age of ten. One may be Charles Vantine who married Charity Lewis, another may be the John Vantine who married Hannah Kipp and moved to Michigan. David B. Vantine of Lenawee County, Michigan was born in 1812 and may be a younger brother. That leaves Mathias as a probability for the third son in 1810.
In 1820, Jacob has disappeared from the census, but it is probable that he was
only missed because in 1830 he reappears in Mentz.

Carol,
If you will go to the following page, at which I include an
incomplete biography of Joseph Eppright, you will note the details as I described:
http://www.geocities.com/tfoenander/josepheppright.htm
However, please understand that I have not placed source notes (which I do have, and have included in my desktop version of the biography), .....
Regards,
Terry.
P.S. If you wish to use the details on Joseph Eppright, who was
obviously never married, you have my permission to do so.
The exhumation was undertaken to meet Maori cultural protocols and I understand that the bodies were taken for re-burial on different Marae."
Thus, it would seem that, since it was impossible to identify the exact remains of Eppright, he was buried together with other executed Maori prisoners, according to certain cultural traditions.
Joseph Eppright.
Joseph Eppright, son of Merritt and Mary Eppright, was born about 1845, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. By 1860 he was no longer residing in the household of his parents, but with carpenter Robert McKensie and his wife Elizabeth, as well as a few other boarders, still at Philadelphia. By the time he reached the age of eighteen, he enlisted as a private, for three years service in company K of the 29th Pennsylvania Infantry, and was mustered into service on December 10, 1863. His service was quite ordinary, and he was mustered out with the rest of the company on July 17, 1865.
After his service in the war, Joseph shipped aboard a whaler and eventually ended up in California, where he was employed on land for a period of some two years before joining another whaler, aboard which he was wrecked in the Arctic, but managed to extricate himself from this situation, and then made his way to Honolulu, where he joined a barque, but left, not long after. It was then, about December, 1872, that he shipped aboard the whaling barque Rainbow, which was to eventually result in the tragic circumstances that caused his death by execution, far away from home and family.
On the evening of May 13th, 1873, while the Rainbow was docked at the port of Russell, Bay of Islands, several of the crew were allowed shore liberty, Eppright being amongst this number. Very unfortunately for him, he decided to imbibe freely, and thus, on his return to the vessel, later that night, together with a fellow crew member named Fisher, Eppright came upon the third mate of the Rainbow, Thomas Henry Garrity. Having previously had confrontations with this officer, Eppright stabbed Garrity, which resulted in his eventual death, and the subsequent trial and execution of Eppright. The following two New Zealand newspaper accounts, dated July 11, 1873 and July 30, 1873, respectively, give a history of the stabbing, trial and execution:
"Joseph Eppright and William Fisher were arraigned on an indictment charging them as follows:- Eppright with wilful murder, and Fisher with being an accessory to murder. Mr. Brookfield prosecuted, and Mr. Bennett defended. \endash The prisoners pleaded not guilty. \endash The first witness called was Louis Lymes, second officer of the whaling barque 'Rainbow,' which was lying in the port of Russell on the 13th May last. The prisoners were seamen on board the vessel, and Thomas Henry Garrity was the fourth mate. On the evening of the 13th May, witness went on shore, being at the time accompanied by the chief officer and the deceased Garrity. They went together to the Duke of Marlborough Hotel. After staying there for a short time they went for a walk, and on returning to the vessel they met Eppright and Fisher. Garrity asked Eppright to go on board. A few minutes afterwards Eppright said to Garrity, 'Don't you know what I can do?' Garrity answered, 'No.' Eppright said, 'Then I will show you,' and gave Garrity a blow in the face. Garrity then knocked Eppright down. Fisher stepped up and put his arm on Garrity's shoulder, and said, 'Let him go, he is only fooling.' Garrity then said, 'This is rather hard fooling to slap a man on the face without provocation, but I take it as a joke, and let it pass.' He then allowed Eppright to get up, and they went aside together and had some conversation. Garrity then went away, and witness heard Eppright say that he did not fear any man on board that ship. He also saw Eppright go up to Fisher, and heard him say, 'Fisher, give me that knife.' There were several men standing about, and Eppright said, 'Gentlemen, I tell you all that there will be some knifing done tonight.' Witness was then in a house, but he heard Eppright, who was standing outside, say 'They are in here, and can't get out any way but this.' Fisher said, 'If he gets you down I will kick his head off.' Witness, Garrity, and the chief officer then went towards the wharf, on the end of which there were several men standing. The prisoners were there. Eppright called Garrity, who went aside with him. Witness heard Eppright ask Garrity what he knocked him down for. He then put his hand to his belt, and gave Garrity a severe blow. The blow was aimed at Garrity's breast; but witness could not swear what weapon was used to give the blow. Garrity called out that he had been struck with a sling shot; but witness saw that it was a knife. When the blow was struck witness was so close to Garrity that the blood spurted over his trousers and boots. Garrity bled profusely from a wound in the arm. Fisher was standing about 8 ft away when the blow was struck. Fisher asked witness if he was going on board, and said that he himself was also ready to go. Eppright said, 'So am I.' Eppright then said to Fisher, 'Take this knife, for I've got through with it.' Witness could not swear whether Fisher took the knife or not. Witness reported the matter to the chief officer. Cross examined by Mr. Bennett: Neither of the prisoners ever had, to witness's knowledge, any quarrel with Garrity. Witness did not know whether Fisher ever gave Eppright a knife.
Jacob Eckbon, steward on board the 'Rainbow,' deposed that, at about 9 o'clock on the night in question, he was standing at the door of the public house, when he heard Fisher say to Eppright, 'Do it, if you get a chance.' A short time afterwards Fisher said to Eppright, 'I will give you the knife.' Witness did not see the blow struck. \endash Cross examined by Mr. Bennett: Witness had known the prisoner for some time, and he had never known him to be anything but a peaceable man, but at the same time the rest of the ship's company were afraid of him. He had heard him say that if he (Eppright) 'had a dollar for every day he had been in prison he would have been a rich man long ago.' Witness knew nothing against Fisher's character. He heard Fisher say to Eppright, 'I will give you the knife;' but he did not know whether a knife was given or not.
George Cook corroborated the evidence of the first witness. He further deposed that after the blow was struck he saw Eppright give something which looked like a knife to Fisher.
William Edward Flowerday deposed that he was present when Garrity was stabbed. Just before the blow was struck he heard one of the men, who he thought was Garrity, say, 'If you think you are a better man than me, come on.' The blow was then struck as described by previous witnesses.
Dr. Ford deposed that he attended Mr. Garrity, who remained at his (witness's) house from the time he was stabbed until he died on May 26. He was suffering from a severe wound in the arm, which might have been inflicted by such a weapon as the sailor's knife produced. Witness dressed the wound, and about a week Garrity seemed to have progressed as well as could reasonably be expected; but the wound broke out again, and the quantity of blood he lost was so great that he had no chance of living for any length of time. Witness called in Dr. Parker, and together they held a consultation, the result of which was that they injected a strong styptic in order to stop the haemorrhage. Garrity died at a few minutes before eight o'clock on the morning of the 26th May. The cause of death was loss of blood caused by the stab. The clothes produced (covered with blood) were the same that Garrity had on when he was stabbed. He was remarkably healthy. Considering the state in which the man was when he was taken to witness's house, it would have been dangerous to adopt any other mode of treatment than that which was adopted.
Constable Donovan deposed that on May 13 he received information that a man had been stabbed near the wharf. He went to the spot, and found a crowd of people. He asked which of them was the man who had stabbed Garrity. Eppright was pointed out as the man. Witness arrested him, but he denied knowing anything about it. On searching him, witness found no knife, and, on asking him where his knife was, he said he had not brought one ashore with him. Witness then locked him up. On the way to the police station, prisoner said Garrity had struck him four times. Fisher was standing beside Eppright when he was taken into custody. Whilst witness was handcuffing Eppright, Fisher wanted to speak to Eppright. Afterwards witness arrested Fisher for the offence with which he was charged. Witness asked Fisher what he had done with the knife he had received from Eppright, but he denied that he had received a knife. Shortly afterwards Fisher said, 'If I tell you where the knife is, will it do Joe any harm?' He also offered, if the constable would take him out, to show him where the knife was hidden. Witness replied that the case was quite clear against them. Fisher then told witness where the knife was, and said he had concealed the knife because he did not wish to see his comrade get into trouble. This closed the case for the prosecution.
Mr. Brookfield, in summing up the evidence, and addressing the jury for the prosecution, alluded to the strong evidence of guilt there was against the prisoner. The learned gentleman then adduced the most telling points of the various witnesses' testimony, calling especial attention to the threats heard made use of by the prisoners, and to the discovery of the knife. All the acts and conversations of both prisoners indicated a settled purpose and intention, and with regard to Fisher, who did not actually strike the blow, it was clearly proved that he aided and abetted the crime, and the law recognised that as murder.
Mr. Bennett replied for the defence in a lengthy speech, in which it was submitted that the offence of which the prisoner Eppright was guilty only amounted to manslaughter, and that there was not sufficient evidence against Fisher to convict him of implication in the crime.
His Honor summed up in an exhaustive review of the evidence. He first laid down the principles of the law on the subject of murder, then recapitulated the evidence, commenting on each salient point, and lastly directed the jury as to the principal questions upon the solution of which they were to base their verdict.
At 5.33 p.m. the jury retired, in charge of the officers of the Court, to deliberate upon their verdict. After an absence of an hour and ten minutes, they returned into Court with a verdict of 'Guilty of wilful murder' against the prisoner Eppright, and 'Guilty of aiding and abetting wilful murder' against Fisher. A recommendation to mercy accompanied the latter verdict.
The Registrar then asked each prisoner severally if he had anything to say why judgment should not be passed upon him. No answer was returned by either prisoner.
The Usher then proclaimed silence on pain of imprisonment, while sentence of death was being pronounced.
His Honor the Chief Justice then assumed the black cap, and addressed the prisoners in a solemn tone, nearly as follows:- You, Joseph Eppright, have been found guilty of the crime of wilful murder, and you, William Fisher, of aiding and abetting the said wilful murder. I must say that, having regard to the class of this crime, I have never known a more heartless case. When I think that you left that poor young man there on the wharf to die perhaps on the spot, it almost prevents one feeling that pity which cannot altogether be extinguished in the human breast towards fellow creatures situated as you now are. I entreat you both to employ the time left you on earth to make your peace with the God before whom you will so soon have to appear, through Jesus Christ our Saviour. The cry of the repentant sinner is heard before God, and He will be merciful to the penitent. It only remains for me to pass upon you the sentence of the law. \endash His Honor then passed sentence of death in the usual form, concluding with the impressive words, 'And may the Lord have mercy on your souls.'
The prisoners, who maintained the appearance of earnest attention throughout, but did not otherwise evince emotion, were then removed from the bar in custody of the gaolers."
The second account, from a later newspaper, after the execution of Eppright, notes:
"At 8 o'clock yesterday morning the stern penalty of the law which murder requires was exacted upon the body of Joseph Eppright, convicted at the last criminal sittings of the Supreme Court of the wilful murder of Thomas Henry Garrity, third mate of the whaling barque 'Rainbow,' at the port of Russell, Bay of Islands, on the 13th May last. The morning was perfectly fine, which could hardly have been anticipated from the weather which prevailed on Monday. Upon entering the penal department of the stockade, by passing through a small wicket, those favoured with permits from Colonel H.C. Balneavis, the Sheriff, found themselves at once facing the scaffold. This structure had been erected in the customary spot \endash the eastern corner of the gaol. It was of a box form, 22 feet high, with covered sides, 7 feet in breadth, and the front opening on to the yard, and only to be seen by the outside public from a prominent portion of Mount Eden, to the right of the scaffold. It was especially melancholy to notice that on every available point of 'vantage on Mount Eden crowds of persons, composed of men, women, and children, were to be seen, desirous of gratifying the morbid taste of witnessing the execution of a fellow creature; some of the women having even babes in their arms. At 25 minutes past 7 o'clock Sergt.-Major Pardy arrived with eight of the Armed Constabulary, whom he immediately posted on the neighbouring hillocks to keep back the crowd and preserve order amongst them.
At half past two o'clock this morning the Rev. Jas. Wallis, Wesleyan minister, visited the wretched criminal in the condemned cell. Eppright had slept soundly for four hours, and expressed the pleasure that he experienced in receiving a visit from the reverend gentleman, who, he was glad to find, had not deserted him in his strait at his last hour. Eppright spoke cheerfully of the prospect of death, and stated that until lately he had never known what it was to love Christ.
At six o'clock the Rev. P.H. Cornford arrived, and the two rev. Gentlemen engaged in prayer and religious conversation with Eppright. From four o'clock in the morning the prisoner never closed his eyes, but expressed repeatedly the wish that Fisher might be exculpated, and that he alone should suffer; that he had no spite against anyone, and never contemplated taking the life of Garrity; that they were all drunk on shore, and that it was his violent temper and his being drunk that led to his striking the fatal blow. He had no complaint against the law, and felt that he had a right to die, although in killing Garrity, he said he had lost his best friend. He had been five and a half months in the same vessel with him, and had never had an angry word before. Before the occurrence related in the evidence, he had been playing single stick with Garrity in good temper. That he was quite resigned to meet his fate and truly happy, and that in the whole course of his life he had never been before a Court except when a little boy three years of age. He had never injured others, and thought that Fisher should not be made to suffer for a crime which he had not committed.
At five minutes to eight o'clock the Sheriff visited the executioner, who was not a prisoner, and requested him to proceed to pinion the condemned man. At the door they were met by the Rev. Mr. Cornford and the Rev. James Wallis. Eppright immediately arose in a respectful manner, and submitted, without a murmur, to the tying. The prison bell tolled the death knell of the unfortunate criminal, who slowly, but with head erect, and firm step, walked from the cell towards the scaffold. At his right hand walked senior warder O'Brien, and on his left the executioner, who was dressed in prison garb, with a piece of black crape which but partially concealed his features. Immediately behind the prisoner walked the sheriff, the governor of the Gaol, and several warders. On arrival at the gate the prisoner raised his eyes and cast an earnest look in the direction of the scaffold \endash a look which was at once fearful and indescribable, and muttered the words, 'God have mercy on me.' At this stage he was joined by the two rev. Gentlemen, and they accompanied him to the drop. Eppright ascended the scaffold without assistance, and was followed by his two spiritual advisers. The Rev. James Wallis read an appropriate lesson, and the Rev. Mr. Cornford engaged in prayer, in the course of which the prisoner fixed his eyes steadfastly towards Heaven and said, 'God have mercy on me.'
Upon ascending the scaffold Eppright turned round and asked Warder O'Brien if he might be allowed to say a few words. The Sheriff expressed his consent and the condemned man said: Well, gentlemen, the knife with which this crime was committed was not Fisher's knife. The man never knew anything about it till after the deed was done. It was not his knife. It was my own knife. I know they brought witnesses against me at the trial. The police officers took Fisher's knife, and, after the deed was done, Fisher took my knife and hid it, and that was all he had to do with the matter. I don't see why he should be so severely punished. I know that I have to appear before God. I give my thanks to all for the kindness I have received here. I kneel to Him and pray forgiveness. I have been well treated since I have been here, having arrived a total stranger. In respect to Garrity, I've been with him five and a half months. I never had a word with him, but been to him like a brother. When we came on shore, the row commenced, and the deed was done. Almighty God knows I never intended to murder him. The row commenced through liquor and passion. I say nothing about those calumniated my character; they made remarks, that if I had as many dollars as I had been days in prison, I should be a rich man. I forgive them, and I can call my God to witness that I never was before a Justice of the Peace in my life. About 15 of us, all told, came on shore and got drunk. I repented of the deed and never attempted to run away, and I never denied it; but the man died, and I now die here trusting in God to forgive my sins. God bless the ministers and all my friends. Constable Donovan, I forgive him; he kept me 19 days in a cell like a dog, without light or sunshine, and kept us handcuffed.
Mr. Cornford here spoke a few words to the unhappy man, and he then continued: I bear no ill will to anyone. Goodbye, Mr. Cornford \endash goodbye all \endash goodbye Mr. Cornford; don't forget to write to my friends. Jesus died for all. May God have mercy on my soul. Jesus, have mercy on me; Jesus, have mercy on me.
The executioner then adjusted the white cap, and the condemned man continued calling out, 'Jesus, have mercy on my soul,' and the hangman endeavoured to let the trap go, but owing to the wood, which was new and green, having swelled or the bar become foul with the rope, the trap did not fall, and the criminal was then requested to step back, and, upon receiving the hand of the executioner, did so. The bar was again fixed and the rope re-adjusted, Eppright still calling out, 'Jesus, save my soul,' when the bolt was drawn and the stern penalty of the law fulfilled. Death was instantaneous, there being but a few spasmodical twitchings. Thus terminated the earthly career of the murderer Eppright. Upon approaching the body, the appearance it presented did not indicate that he had died in pain, as the features were remarkably placid, there being but a slight contraction of the mouth. Throughout his manner was firm and respectful; there was nothing of the brave nor the hardened criminal, but he seemed to know that he had violated the laws of the country, and that he merited death.
There were from 25 to 30 persons present, including the Sheriff, the Governor of the Gaol, the Visiting Justice of the Gaol, Dr. Philson, members of the Press, and several other gentlemen.
After allowing the body to hang for an hour, and the Provincial Surgeon having pronounced life to be extinct, it was cut down and placed in a rough coffin, to abide the result of the inquest.
Eppright was a native of Philadelphia, U.S.A., and was born in the year 1845. He left home in 1860, and joined the Northern army in the great civil war of 1861. He remained there, where he seems to have served with credit till the termination of the war. He then joined a whale ship, and proceeded to California, at which place he remained following different avocations for a period of two years. At the expiration of that period he again joined a whaler, and was wrecked in the Arctic Ocean. He afterwards went to Honolulu, where he joined a barque, and, not considering her thoroughly sea-worthy, he left, and then entered the (to him) ill fated barque 'Rainbow,' with which he had only been connected five and a half months. He leaves two brothers and two sisters in Philadelphia, and it was his last and dying request to Mr. Cornford that his relatives should be communicated with upon the subject.
THE INQUEST. At noon an inquest was held at the Stockade, before Dr. Goldsbro', coroner, and the following jury:- Messrs. Samuel Henson, John Ring, John Neill, George Scarfe, John Moller, Walter Peters, Edwin Wood, James Young, Samuel Clarke, Ebenezer Fitness, George Smith, John Cornish, Thomas Hayes, Anthony B. Morrow, and Joseph Rose. Mr. Cornish was elected foreman. The Coroner read the inquisition announcing that they were there to ascertain the means by which Joseph Eppright came by his death. The jury proceeded to inspect the body, which was in a rough coffin in the yard in which the execution took place, but the scaffold had been removed. The eyes of the deceased were not closed, but were set, and wore a very happy and contented expression. Captain Eyre, the governor of the Gaol, being called, deposed that he knew the deceased, Joseph Eppright, who was recently confined as a prisoner in Mount Eden Gaol, under sentence of death for the murder of Thomas Henry Garrity, at Russell, in the Bay of Islands, in the month of May last. He identified the body then lying in the penal yard as that of the said Joseph Eppright. It was the same body that the jury had viewed. He was present on Tuesday, at the execution of Eppright, who was hanged by the neck, and, after remaining suspended for an hour, was cut down and put in the coffin. T.M. Philson, M.D., deposed that he was Provincial Surgeon, and medical attendant at the Mount Eden Stockade. He was present at the execution of Joseph Eppright on Tuesday morning at 8 o'clock in the Mount Eden Stockade. Death was by hanging. After hanging an hour life was extinct, and the body was cut down. The body in the penal yard, and viewed by the jury, was the body of Joseph Eppright. Henry Cohn Balneavis deposed that he was Sheriff for the district of Auckland. He produced a letter from his Excellency, the Government, stating that they saw no reason to interfere to prevent the law taking its ordinary course in the case of Joseph Eppright. The prisoner, Eppright was executed within seven days from the receipt of the letter from the Governor, such being the time allowed by law. The sentence had been carried out in his presence, at eight o'clock on the morning of the 29th. The sentence was passed by his Honor the Chief Justice at the last criminal sitting of the Supreme Court, Auckland. The body seen by the jury is the body of Joseph Eppright. He had seen him suspended by the neck, and was present when life was pronounced extinct by Dr. Philson. The jury found, 'That Joseph Eppright was, in due course of law, hanged by the neck, in Mount Eden Stockade, until he was dead, in execution of the sentence of death passed upon him by Sir George A. Arney, Kt., Chief Justice, a Judge of the Supreme Court of New Zaland, at a sitting of the Circuit Court of the Supreme Court holden at Auckland, in the said colony, on the 10th day of July inst.'
The body was interred yesterday evening in the precincts of the Gaol, and the grave immediately adjoins that of Heremita Kahupaera, who was executed for being one of the Volkner murderers. Eppright makes the sixth who has found a resting place beside the scaffold in Mount Eden Stockade."
Subsequent enquiries about the exact location of the grave of Eppright, by this author, has elicited the following response from Mr. Bob Calland, General Manager, Systems & Infrastructure: "I have determined that Joseph Eppright was hanged on 29 July 1873. He was then buried within the grounds of the prison and a block of basalt stone (with the marking 'E') used to identify the grave. Some time after 1882 the grave was exhumed (along with another nine) and reburied near the north-east corner of the gaol. These remains were exhumed for a second time on 19 October 1989 and taken away for re-burial. At the time of the second exhumation the identity of the bodies was unknown.

I'm afraid I don't have very much. I have a Joseph Vantine from Philadelphia married to Mary (no maiden name). They had a daughter, Mary Vantine, born June 10, 1821 in Philadelphia... Died June 10, 1861. She married Merit Eppright on July 10, 1837 in Philadelphia. I got this information from my GreatGrandmother's Bible. Her name was Georgeanna Eppright, & she was Merit & Mary's daughter. Please let me know if this connects to any other information you might have. Thank you! Emma

Dear Maizie,
My great-grandfather William Eppright's mother was a Vantine from Phila or NJ. He was born 8-12-1854. Do you know of any connection w/ your family. I have no other information on my great-granfather's ancestors.

I believe the family Bible is wrong. The 1870 census shows Mary and family living in Philadelphia. The US Mortality Schedule for 1880 shows Mary Eppright died between June 1, 1879 and May 31, 1880. The 1880 census shows Merritt as a Widower. Many of children are living with him along with their spouses and children. My original information came the Bible too, but further research disproves it. Hopefully, there will be more death information in the PA records. My Great-grandfather was William H. Eppright, brother of Georgeanna. -- Brugal123, Davis Family Tree, Ancestry.com
