From Scientific American, 28 August 1845
“Some of the most elegant cars ... run with a steadiness hardly equaled by a steamboat in still water, are manufactured by Davenport & Bridges, at their establishment in Cambridgeport, Mass. The manufacturers have recently introduced a variety of excellent improvements in the construction of trucks, springs, and connections, which are calculated to avoid atmospheric resistance, secure safety and convenience, and contribute ease and comfort to passengers, while flying at the rate of 30 or 40 miles per hour.”

A Reversal of Fortune made Coachman a Millionaire

When the magnate financier James Hobart Moore son of Nathaniel Ford Moore and Rachel Arvilla Beckwith departed this earth July 17, 1916 the public learned that the wealthy tycoon had a very tender affection for those who were in his service. Although Moore’s generosity was well known by a multitude of charitable donations, it was the deep pockets of gratitude to one coachman that make this millionaire magnet stand out.
William Beattie, coachman for James H Moore was more than happy to clean out his bank account when Moore’s credit was over strained. Moore took a hit when his Diamond Match Company crashed and drained all his funds–he became a pauper over night.
Beattie came to his rescue Moore tells the Christen Journal.  “I was in an awful fix,” said Moore  and “I was worth less than nothing when Beattie came to me. He went to the bank and withdrew all his savings, $2,000.”
Beattie said “Take it…I got it from you and you’re welcome to keep it as long as you want it.” Moore accepted the sum and never forgot this kind gesture which served him through the crisis.
When Moore made his next round of millions he paid Beattie–so richly that the coachman was worth over $100,000.
The Sabath Recorder Volume 82 noted: “In these days of cold commercialism it is refreshing to see this instance of a servant’s fidelity and an employer’s gratitude. We find it hard to tell which is worthier of praise, but taken together these two give us the ideal relation of employer and employee sealed by mutual respect and loyalty. If this spirit might be universal our industrial world we should be nearer the millennium”
St. Paul wrote of sanctifying this common but high relationship: “Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters . . . with good will doing service. . . . And ye, ‘masters, do the same things unto them” (Eph6: 5-8).—Christian Herald
In his will Moore had left this bequest: “To William Beattie $10,000.” Despite his windfall Beattie remained coachman for widow Moore. According to the newspaper articles published after Moore’s funeral Beattie invested in a Tennessee plantation.

James H Moore left many more who where in his service $500 Let to Late Marshall Field. Will of James Hobart Moore Makes Numerous Interesting Bequests. He owned United States Steel, and also had a hand in the founding of the Nabisco corporation. Moore's brother and business partner was William Henry (Judge) Moore who married sister to James' wife Ada Small Moore. James H Moore married Lora Josephine Small, daughter of Edward Alanzo Small and Mary Caroline Roberts--d. of Benjamin Roberts & Clarissa Mitchell; George Roberts & Hannah Davis; Joseph Roberts & Ruth White; William White & Christian Simonton; John White & Lucy Wise; John Wise & Abigail Gardner; Joseph Wise & Mary Thompson; John Thompson & Alice Freeman.

There is also Mayflower Ties: 

A business profile from 1921 noted that if the Moore brothers “had been the owners of Aladdin’s lamp, they could not have transformed defeat into victory more magically.” Hebert Casson in “Harvest of Gold,” The Romance of Steel and Iron in America,” noted the during fallow times the Moore boys never sweat the small stuff: “With cheerful indifference they had made and lost millions. Having promoted the Diamond Match Company, they went down with it when it foundered, losing four millions or more. In a single year, by floating the National Biscuit Company and the American Tin Plate Company, they paid their debts and had millions left.” In “Prominent and Progressive Americans,” a synopsis of their reputation and notoriety. “Do you know Moore Brothers?” a Chicago business man was asked. “Who does not” was his reply. “Their vast and successful operations are the wonder of the business world.” The tribute was none too high for a firm that, after being caught in one of the most overwhelming panics of modern times, within a year paid off, in full, debts of more than $4,000,000, and continued in business with a clean record, a big bank-account, and the unhesitating confidence of the community. However, the Judge had more than the Midas touch. He possessed a formidable, independent spirit, known as “Yankee Iniquity.” His instinct to succeed was bred in him from the sturdy stock of his Mayflower ancestors.

After James Moore's death Lora married Harry French Knight, a stockbroker. The Knight’s were prime financial backers of Lindbergh’s flight across the Atlantic.

DAR: Two Real Daughters Annie Knight Gregory & Caroline Hassam Randall Christmas 1940

Caroline Phoebe Hassam Randall

From Springfield Republican December 22. 1940

Daughters of the American Revolution Magazine, Volume 15

From When the cry "To Arms!" was heard in the days of the American Revolution, Richard Knight, a lad of but eleven summers, bravely stepped into ranks, as drummer boy, in the Sixth Pennsylvania Regiment, commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Josiah Harmer. (Photo below)

He appears as drummer and fifer in Captain Thomas Bull's company and as a private in the company of Captain Walter Finney of the above-named regiment; having been transferred to Captain Bull's company in October, 1778.

When Richard Knight entered the army he enlisted for the entire period of conflict, and was one of the youngest and bravest soldiers in the annals of the war. Having safely passed through the first great struggle of our country, he stands again in the forefront of the second conflict in 1812. His name now appears as captain in the First (Kennedy's) Regiment of Pennsylvania militia, and continues on the roll until December 5, 1814.

To-day this hero stands before the world as a man who always met the enemy bravely, and who helped to solve some of the most momentous problems of our Government.

Richard Knight was married three times, and at his death, January, 1850, in his eighty-third year, left a family of five— three sons and two daughters. Annie Knight, whose picture appears in this number, was born in Liverpool, Pennsylvania, March 23, 1843, and is therefore the youngest "original" Daughter in the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution. On November 25, 1863, at Selins Grove, Pennsylvania, she was married to Mr. B. F. Gregory, of the First National Bank, of that place. Two sons have blest this union. The older, Harry Knight Gregory, born December 4, 1865, is now one of the most prominent lawyers in the New Castle, Pennsylvania, bar, and Forrest Ever Gregory, born April 27, 1868, now in business in Williamsport, Penn
