HISTORY OF PUTNAM COUNTY.
TOWN OF SOUTHEAST.
THE THEALL FAMILY.
— The ancestor of this family was Ebenezer Theall, who is said to have come from England.
During the Revolution he was a Loyalist, and was killed at the battle of White Plains, and one of his eldest sons is said to have been killed in the same engagement.
His children were:
Samuel, who went to Nova Scotia,
Isaac
and
Thomas (both of whom went to Newburg),
Anne (who died unmarried),
Ebenezer,
and
Hackaliah.
Hackaliah Theall was born November 18th, 1778, and died December 29th, 1824.
He married Huldah, daughter of Thatcher Hopkins.
Their children were:
Lydia L., born May 29th, 1804, married Levi Jennings;
Nancy G., born September 3d, 1806, married Israel Underhill;
Nellie A., born February 22d, 1808, married Bottsford Noble;
Judge Thatcher H., born August 11th, 1810, died January 16th, 1886;
Arvah, born November 26th, 1812;
Orwin, born November 26th, 1815;
and Susan, born December 31st, 1819, married Aaron Jennings.
The homestead where the family were born was the farm at Croton Falls, now owned by Joel Purdy.
The only members of the family now living are Mrs. Noble, Arvah and Orwin.
The last resides at Peekskill.
Judge Thatcher H. Theall, the fourth child and eldest son, was born on the old homestead at Croton Falls.
When he was seven years old his father purchased a small place on the Croton River, in the town of Southeast, where he lived till the time of his death, and where his son Arvah now resides.
When their father died the amount of property left was small, and the share of each of the boys was estimated at $100, and this was all the capital they had with which to begin life; but upon this small foundation they eventually built a fortune.
For year after year Judge Theall, with his brother, worked steadily, laboriously, and persistently until the home farm was free from all incumbrance.
Their father bought his place of about twenty-five acres from Benjamin Lent in 1821.
As their means increased the sons began to enlarge it.
The first large tract which they bought was the farm of Stephen Travis, formerly owned by his father, Gilbert Travis.
This farm contained 135 acres, and upon it the Theall Iron Mine is located.
This mine, with 110 acres of land, was sold by Judge Theall, and his brother, Arvah, to John H. Cheever about 1810, and the company organized by him carried on extensive mining operations here.
The brothers next purchased a farm of 125 acres of the estate of David Adams, and by various additions their homestead was increased to the extent of 454 acres.
Judge Theall and his brother were practical agriculturists and conducted the business in the most skillful mnner, and were considered men of rare judgment and calculation.
In 1843 Judge Theall was appointed associate judge of the Court of Common Pleas, and at the time of his death he was the last survivor of the of that court.
The was justice of the peace for 16 years.
Judge Theall was elected county treasurer in 1867, and served one term.
For several years he was president of the Putnam County Agricultural Society.
He was one of the commissioners appointed by the Supreme Court to appraise the value of lands taken for the Southeast Reservoir, and was also one of the commissioners to estimate the damages to riparian landholders at Lake Mahopac by the Croton Aqueduct Department, and also at the Muscoot River.
He was a benevolent and generous citizen.
He contributed liberally to the erection and maintenance of the Baptist church at the Croton Falls.
He lived and died a bachelor.
The funeral services were held in the Croton Falls Baptist Church January 21st, 1886, after which his remains were brought to Carmel and interred beside his kindred in the Kelley Cemetery.
One of the last acts of Judge Thean was to contribute $1,000 for extinguishing the debt on the Baptist church at Croton Falls.
Mr. Arvah Theall, the younger brother of the judge, was also born on the old homestead at Croton Falls.
During the life of his brother he was his able assistant and associate: both working in unison in the accomplishing of their designs.
The house in which their father lived was a small one-story building, a relic of former days.
The present elegant residence was built in 1856 upon the former site, and located on the east side of the old Croton Turnpike, and on the banks of the Croton River, about a mile north of the county line.
Upon this place Mr. Theall passed the evening of his life in the enjoyment of a fortune accumulated by constant labor, active energy and careful calculation.
