PREFACE.
In this genealogy and biography perfection is not claimed, for the means at hand did not warrant a thorough work, such as we should have been glad to issue. Nevertheless, we be- lieve it sufficient to show the direct lineage of any descendant of the first Waldo of America, if the name should have been overlooked. So far as possible each branch has been completed, some reaching to the last, the tenth generation, others only to the sixth and seventh generations. A work of this kind, though incomplete, forms a sure basis for a more perfect one some time in the future, when the interest of the whole family is more awakened on the subject. Biographical sketches have been sought for, and as many as could be procured have been inserted, that we might acquaint ourselves with the acquisi- tions of our ancestors, for such knowledge generally establishes a foundation upon which posterity builds, and improves if pos- sible. Though the past generations have shown a record that kindles pride in the hearts of their descendants, and we have perfect faith in those yet to come, keeping in mind the facts concerning the family that animate and merit pride will do no harm, but rather tend to a still stronger growth, for man is but man no matter whatever blood courses his veins. Gold- smith says, " Man seems the only growth that dwindles here," and then reiterates the fact that there must be either advance- ment or retrogression :
" For, as refinement stops from sire to son, Unalter'd, unimprov'd the manners run."
The late Judge Loren P. Waldo, who, previous to the war, had thought of publishing a work similar to this one, had col- lected papers giving the descendants of Edward Waldo, Jr., for several generations, besides other information. Charles E. Waldo gave the descendants of Jesse Waldo, and Mrs. S. G. Waters the descendants of Abner Waldo.
PREFACE.
To prevent confusion, if the reader will note each chapter, excepting the first, begins with one of the children of Corne- lius Waldo, the first generation in America, and that the de- scendants of each follow in a direct line, beginning with the first born of each family and continuing to his or her last de- scedant, then returning to the next younger and repeat the same, there will be no misunderstanding. In the case where several bear the same name, their wives maiden names will help to distinguish them, outside of the generation, which will generally be found sufficient.
CHAPTER 1.
The Waldo Family.
The name Waldo, which has figured in history for six hun- dred years, originated with a family of France, one member of which was the noted Pierre de Vaax, or Peter Waldo, of Lyons. Hence the established belief that he was the first recorded ancestor of this great family that has come down to the present day, retaining many of the striking qualities that characterized him and his people. He received his sur-name from the place of his nativity, the town of Waldum or Vaux, near the city of Lyons. He was the leader of the sect of Wal- denses which had existed, for some time previous to his uniting with them, in quiet opposition to the Roman church, but after he joined them gained the reputation as the first founder of that body, and it may be truly said that he spread new life among them, for they came out openly and renounced papal power, he being their strong advocate and protector. He lost no op- portunity to oppose the pope openly, and though warned to cease his preaching continued the same. In preaching he took pains to prove his doctrines, always avoiding all unnatural form, and asserted boldly that the i" church of Rome was in a state of apostasy from the true faith of the gospel ; that she

was the harlot of Babylon, and the barren fig-tree which our Lord cursed ; that we are not bound to obey the pope, who is not the true head of the church ; that monasticism is like cor- rupt carrion, and has the mark of the beast; and that masses and purgatory, the dedication of temples, and the worship of the saints are inventions of the devil." He was a rich mer- chant, and distributed his goods freely to the poor. William Hodgson's "History of Martys, etc.," contains an extended account of the Waldenses and their leader.
The following is evidence that Thomas and not Peter, was the first known ancestor of the Waldos. He was probably a brother of Peter, and was also identified with the Waldenses :
According to Hasted, in his history of Kent, " this family is said to be descended from Thomas Waldo, of Lyons, in the Kingdom of France, one of the first who publicly renounced the doctrines of the Court of Rome. One of his descendants, in the reign of Queen Elizabeth, to escape the persecutions of the Duke D'Alva, came over from the Netherlands to England, where his descendants afterwards settled." In a house belong- ing to one of the representatives of the Waldo family, situated at Mitchans, in Surrey, England, there still exists a handsome carved oak wainscotting, with a curious oak chimney-piece, the cornice of the wainscot being a broad border of oak, richly carved with acorns, oak leaves and grapes, with the name "Peter Waldo" cut thereon, with the date 1575 or 1573, the last figure being dim, making it uncertain. The mistake about Peter Waldo being the first known ancestor may have originated from this second Peter, who was evidently a descendant of Thomas Waldo. It appears the celebrated Peter Waldo was never married, but he left at least two brothers, one of whom died a galley slave, and the other on his way to Bohemia, where, also, Peter died in 1179. (Letter dated March 3, 1863^ from Rev. J. C. Goussier, British Chaplin at Lyons.) From 1575 to 1654 no records have been found relative to the family. 1
THE WALDO GENEALOGY.
DEA. CORNELIUS WALDO.
Cornelius Waldo, the first by that name permanently located in this country, came from England and settled in Ipswich, Mass., according to " Savage's Genealogy of Early Settlers", in 1654. Married Hannah, daughter of John and Eliza Coggs- well. Children : John, Cornelius, Daniel, Rebecca, Jona- than.
Dea. Waldo removed, in 1655 or 1657, to Chelmsford, Mass. The records refer to him constantly as deacon. He was deacon of a church there during his life, of which Rev. Mr. Fiske was pastor. He owned considerable real estate in Chelmsford, and was at one time an inn-keeper there ; and the spacious, comfortable old tavern, with its hospitable land- lard, was a favorite among the traveling public of that remote day, when, instead of the steam coach, the "four-in-hand" came rolling up to the door at regular intervals, when the gen- eral overturning of baggage and turning out of passengers indicated a short respite and a few hours or night's rest for the weary traveler. Many prominent personages stopped at the inn. It is quite probable the Rev. Edward Bulkley died there. He also owned a farm in North Chelmsford, Mass., where he settled his son Daniel, who built a grist mill on it in 1695, at the mouth of Stony Brook, below the way that leads to Dun- stable, Mass. A grist mill and saw mill were standing upon this spot as late as 1820. The deacon was a leading man in Chelmsford. He died in 1701, June or Jan. 3. His property was divided among his children.
CHAPTER 11.
JOHN WALDO
AND DESCENDANTS.
John Waldo, son of Dea. Cornelius, was born, probably, in Chelmsford ; married Rebecca, the daughter of Samuel Adams, about 1676, who was of the same line as that of John Adams, the President of the United States. Mr. Adams was a man of wealth, owning 600 acres of land in Chelmsford, Mass. Children, 3rd generation: John, Edward, Rebecca, Catherine, Ruth, Sarah, Abigail.
John was representative from Dunstable, Mass., in 1689 — short session. He removed at the u time of the Indian war" to Windham, Conn., and there died in 1700. His will of the 14th of April, 1700, names Rebecca, his wife, son John, and refers to other children not named. His inventory was £290, 07s., besides the estate at Chelmsford. A deed, signed by one Larabee, Jan. 2, 1699, to John Waldo, of Windham, is evidence that he was living there at that time. Another deed to him from Richard Edgarton, dated Jan. 4, 1698, gives his residence as Boston. Probably settled in Windham during that year. His residence in town of Windham was between Windham

village and Willimantic, on the east side of the river, on the place afterwards owned by Roger Bingham and descendants. Joh.ll Waldo, Jr., son of John Waldo and Rebecca Adams, was born in Chelmsford, Mass., May 19, 1678. We have been unable to secure anything of value concerning John, Jr. Probably had no descendants. Removed to Boston after the death of his father.
Dea. Edward ^Waldo? son of John Waldo and Rebecca Adams, born 16S3, died 1767; married Thankful, daughter of Shubael Dimock, of Mansfield, Conn., June 28. 1706. She was born 16S5, died 1 757- Children, 4th genera- tion : Shubael, Edward, Jr., Cornelius, Ann, John, Bethuel, Thankful, Joanna, Zacheus, John. Edward was deacon of the Congregational church in Scotland. The towns of Wind- ham and Scotland were one for many years. After the town was divided the part containing Windham village and Willi- mantic retained the original name of Windham.
There is a document in Hartford, Conn., the original appli- cation of sundry citizens of the town of Windham, Conn., for a new county, under date of May, 1 723, signed by the above- named Edward Waldo. He was an extensive farmer of that town. Edward and his wife, Thankful Dimock, wTere buried in Scotland, Conn., in what is known as the "Pahnertown Burying-ground." He built a house in the town of Scotland, near the county line, about the year 1J14- The house is still standing, and owned by a descendant.
Shubael Waldo* son of Edward Waldo and Thank- ful Dimock, married Abigail Allen, of Mansfield, Conn., Oct. 14, 1730. Children, 5th generation : Samuel, Shubael, Abia- thar, Jesse, Jonathan, Thankful, Edward, Daniel, Mary, Abigail, Beulah, Ruth, Rebecca, Calvin.
Shubael removed, from Windham to Alstead, N. H., in 1768, where many of his descendants now live.

This Jesse was a farmer, and lived on a farm about a mile from the old homestead, and three miles from the village of Prattsburg, in Pulteney township, Steuben county, N. Y. His brothers, with the exception of Edmund, all lived on farms in the immediate vicinity, and at one time there were nearly seventy of their children all living at home, near Prattsburg.
Rev. Levi F- YV^aldo, son of Jesse Waldo and Mary Fay, married Aug. 22, 1844, at Keene, N. H., to Lucy Eliza- beth, daughter of Calvin and Sophia (Dickey) Fay, who was

born Nov. 17, 1816, at Prattsburg, N. Y., died March 3, 1877, Frankfort, Mich. Children, 9th generation : Charles Edward, born Feb. 28, 1846, at Ponghkeepsie, N. Y. ; William How- ard, born same town, Sept. 17, 1849, died Aug. 7? l&55-> North Brookfield, Mass. ; Edmund Hovey, born Sept. 12, 1855, at North Brookfield, Mass.
Levi married for his second wife, July 23, 1878, Silence Paddock (Hard) Cady, daughter of Rev. J. H. and Matilda H. (Barker) Hard, widow of James F. Cady, who was born Aug. 20, 1829, Sardinia, N. Y. She had ten children by her first husband.
Levi is a graduate of Union College, N. Y., and went through a course of study for the ministry in a theological sem- inary in New York city. He was first settled over a Congre- gational church in Poughkeepsie, N. Y. He is now preach- ing for the Congregational church of Shelby, Mich.
Charles Edward, son of Levi, is a lawyer in Canon City, Col., and County Judge of Fremont county. He is interested in the genealogy of his people, and collected a good deal of material for this part of the work, which was kindly furnished us by his brother Edmund, who had the papers.
Edmund Hovey ^Waldo, son of Rev. Levi Wal- do and Lucy Fay, telegraph operator, of Boston, married Nov. 17, 1880, at Keene, N. H., to Mary Ida, daughter of George Howard and Mary Jane (Fay) Gilbert, who was born Dec. 5, 1859, Walpole, N. H. Children, 10th generation : Charles Elmon, born Sept. 7, 1881, at Keene, N. H. ; George How- ard, born May 6, '83, Charlestown, Mass., died June 22, same year.
This branch of the family, the descendants of Jesse and Mary, have lost one very distinguishing^ characteristic of the Waldos — the dark features, hair and eyes. This is due to the infusion of the Fay blood, the last three generations having each married Fays, or descendants of them.

" Otis graduated at Union College, Schenectady, N. Y., in 1843. In 1844 took the stump for Henry Clay and whig party. After election went South and studied law with Gen. John A. Quitman of Natchez, Miss. In 1849 moved to Milwaukee, Wis., and began to practice law. He was a candidate for mayor later on, but was defeated as the city was of adverse politics. Several years after he was a candidate for the U. S. Senate, but was beaten by Matt Carpenter. He was for many years President of the Wisconsin Central Railroad, and much of its prosperity is due to his efforts. When he received the news of his mother's death, the telegram announcing the sad fact to him was placed in his hands as he was about to begin a two hour's plea before a jury in Madison, Wis., Friday after- noon. He finished his plea and took the first train east, reach- ing Buffalo too late Saturday night to get a train for Corning, the nearest railroad station. He jumped aboard a starting train on the N. Y.

" Abner Waldo at the age of fourteen years, as was cus- tomary in those days, was bound out to a man in Walpole, N. H., to learn the tailor's trade. He was to serve an apprentice- ship of seven years, or until he should become twenty-one years of age, but he bought one year of his time of his master, (an appelation that was given the man of whom he learned his trade). He then started on foot to seek his fortune in Ver- mont, taking with him all the treasures that he possessed, which consisted of a change of linen tied up in a pocket hand-

kerchief, and a pair of shears in his pocket. On his way to Vermont he stopped at a farm house where he found an op- portunity to make a suit of clothes, for which he received as a compensation twenty shillings. To express it in his own words, he said ' no nabob ever felt richer than he did at that time with the first money he had ever earned for himself.' Subsequently, he came to East Randolph, Vt., where he made a permanent settlement. The town was then in its infancy, and the state nearly a wilderness. Here he worked at his trade a few years with success, and as the town grew, he grew with it. He then relinquished his trade, bought him a farm on which he lived until nearly the close of his earthly life. He had many hardships to encounter and battle with in the new country, but he conquered them all and worked his way up step by step, until he rose to eminence, and was one of the staunch and prominent men of the town. For nearly forty years he held many public offices of trust in the town of Ran- dolph. He owed his success to his own exertions, good judg- ment and ability. At the age of twenty-one he married Sally Goss, of East Randolph, and fifteen children were born to them, all of whom lived to be men and women."

Daniel was a blacksmith and farmer. His grandson, Rev. J. C. Waldo, states, " He was low in stature, thick-set, broad in chest and shoulders, very muscular, quick in understanding, scrupulously honest, and very orthodox. He would mount his horse by the stirrup from the ground as nimbly as a boy a month before his death, which was caused by an epidemic
THE WALDO GENEALOGY. 43
fever. His wife was unusually large, weighing 240 pounds, and not over-burdened with flesh. I have seen her take a bar- rel of cider from the rear of the cart and place it, quietly, upon the ground. She had the advantage of her husband in height, and had they ever come to blows (which I trust was never true of them) my grandfather, though a giant in strength, would certainly have had the worst of it. There is an anec- dote about mv grandmother Hannah, which I recollect, when a mere child, to have heard the old folks (Edward and his wife, when on a visit to my grandparents) make themselves merry over. There was an unlucky Wight living near to grandfather, who occasionally indulged too freely with the bottle. In a state of partial intoxication he called at the house. Grandfather being away, he expressed himself in a rather rude manner to my grandmother, whereupon she seized the offender (a man of average size) by the back of his neck and panta- loons, and extending him at arms length, ran with him over the road and plunged him into a goose-pond." Daniel and his wife both lived and died in Chesterfield, N. H.

'• He was a farmer of steady habits, strong common sense, and naturally of a very cheerful and happy disposition. ' Un- cle Snub.,' as he was familiarly called was a favorite with young and old, for his humor and inexhaustable fund of stories and anecdotes. His death was occasioned by being thrown from his carriage, as was supposed. He never had a physi- cian until that time."

u Daniel was a man of his own mind. In mere boyhood he repudiated his family's politics and religion, and became a warm Democrat and Universalist. He was appointed Post- master by Jackson, and held the place until he removed to Illi- nois. His ambition was to become the largest farmer in his county. He owned 5,000 acres, chiefly of bottom land on the Illinois river, and mostly improved. Rev. J. C. Waldo states the year he visited his brother Daniel he had under his own care 1000 acres of corn, 200 of wheat, and 75 of rye. The year before he raised 45,000 bushels of corn."
Rev. Josiah. Crosby Waldo, son of Shubael Waldo and Rebecca Crosby, born Dec. 5, 1803, or '04; mar- ried Elmira Ruth Ballou, 4th daughter of Rev. Hosea Ballon of Boston, Oct., 1830. Children, 8th generation : Ella Fidu- cia, Oliver, George Curtis, C. Grace, Frances Rebecca, Matu- rin Ballou.
Rev. J. C. Waldo, to whom we are indebted for nearly all the quotations concerning Shubael Waldo's descendants, was educated in the Presbyterian faith. He had been contemplat- ing a change in religious matters for some time, but had not quite decided everything in his own mind, when the sudden
THE WALDO GENEALOGY. 45
death of his mother ended the controversy. He says: " My mother, though one of the best of that hallowed name, and universally beloved, had never made a profession of religion, and for that cause, the Presbyterian minister, Rev. John Wal- ker, who attended her funeral, very charitably consigned her
to — ! This day's work settled the fate of orthodoxy for
me. It was standing by her grave that day, while the wound the priest had inflicted was fresh and bleeding, that I made a vow to be revenged by devoting my life to blowing the obnox- ious creed sky-high. I have kept the vow to this hour." He studied under Rev. Hosea Ballon. He preached in Boston and vicinity for two years, then went to Cincinnati, O. He found the leading men of that city ready to aid in establishing a liberal church. A meeting-house was built for him the first year. The same year he commenced the publication of a weekly paper, " The Sentinel and Star in the West," which is published to this day. His work was extensive there. "During his five years' stay in Cincinnati, he preached in all the large cities and principal towns in Ohio, Indiana, Ken- tucky, and to some extent in Virginia and Tennessee. He published over one hundred controversial sermons, held a number of public debates, and planted the seeds of the new faith, first, and generally in the West." It was not unusual for him to preach four times in a day. While in Lynn, Mass., where he established two flourishing societies, he was attacked, from excessive speaking, with a disease of the throat and lungs, which threatened, for three years, as he says, " to end my war of words at least against orthodoxy, and for Univer- salism." He afterward recovered, and accepted a call for the third society in Cambridge, Mass.,- where he remained eight years. Then went to Troy, N. Y., and there remained and labored six years. On account of his wife's health he then removed to New London. His wife was accustomed to write poetical articles for the periodicals of the day. The last

she ever attempted was a few weeks before her death, which happened on the 29th of June, 1850. The following is her last poem :
The Ideal of the Spiritual.
The lofty walls are tapestried superbly
With scenes of glory, changing evermore; And light, not of the sun or moon, is streaming
O'er golden dome and tesselated floor.
Far-reaching aisles, with everlasting pillars, And jewelled pavement mortal foot ne'er prest;
Such is the inner temple, at whose altar My weary spirit folds her wings to rest.
It is a haunted spot — a spell is o'er it.
And all around, on terrace, lake and tree, Enchanting bird-notes mingle with the perfume
Of flowers, that bloom to live eternally!
I said 'twas haunted — not in the old fashion, By restless spirits, whose coming I shall fear —
But by angel forms of the true-hearted, Who seek my earthly pilgrimage to cheer.
I see their radiant smiles, and hear their voices,
In dear familiar tones, repeat my name; Fond arms encircle me, and joy ecstatic
Pervades my soul, and thrills my trembling frame!
Some smile, when I describe this habitation,
And say I am deceived — but well I know, That He who gave me powers for such creation,
Would never mock my yearning spirit so!
Not half so real is my outward being,
Wearing itself away in earthly strife ; While stronger, brighter, grows this blest ideal —
The sacred earnest of eternal life.

HELEN.
Bud of promise, precious flower, Thou art withered in an hour; Early call'd to yield thy breath, Thou art lovely e'en in death.

In his glorious, happy home, Evermore in freshness bloom ; Bud of promise, precious gem, Deck thy Saviour's diadem.

She was soon dashed in pieces, and many lives were lost. Edwin clung to a piece of the wreck, and struggled seven long hours to reach the shore, and when with- in onlv a few feet of it his strength was so far gone he could hold out no longer and slipping from the broken timber met his death. His brother, Simon Waldo, went on and found the body and brought it home to Canterbury, Conn., where it was buried under the rites of the Free Masons. He was a de- vout man, loved and honored by all who knew him.

Dea. Waldo followed farming the greater part of his life on the old homestead farm in Waldo district, at the Waldo four- corners in town of Canterbury, Conn. He taught school there a number of years ; held many town offices, and was represen- tative from Canterbury in 1856. He was deacon of the Con- gregational church of Westminster, and was a leading man in the town. While a member of the State militia, he nearly lost his life at a general training by the premature discharge of a field piece. He was a strong Republican, and a staunch patriot. He delighted in Revolutionary history, which he read with the deepest feeling. At the warmest period of the civil war, when the subject was freely discussed by enthusiastic Northerners in both town and country, its necessities, success, prospects, etc., he by chance was forced into a conversation with a neighbor who had been advancing rather unpatriotic sentiments, and in course of the talk, declared the "Northern- ers had no right to proceed South and destroy their neighbors and brothers, but should allow them to do as they pleased, so far as they had agreed by legislation, and their public senti- ment," and in that strain he continued until the debate waxed strong and warm, when the deacon, who seldom allowed his temper to rise, could stand it no larger, declared " if he, though a friend and neighbor, should take arms to destroy this glorious union, bought by the sacred blood of the fathers, and established in the name of Jehovah as a free and independent country that their posterity might enjoy union and liberty

thenceforth, he would shoot him as he would a dog." Senti- ments like this were only characteristic of his nature. He died in Canterbury, March 2, 1877. Hewas a man of massive form but of average height, of even temper, strong personal charac- ter, and just in all his dealings. He had a wonderful retentive memory, and could quote Scripture, in which he was well read, to apply to most any subject to more successfully enforce a point. Both young and old delighted in listening to his ever ready anecdote or story. Frequently, in the absence of the pastor at Westminster, he would take the lead of the service, and preach a goodly sermon after his own sound ideas.
DEA. ENOCH WALDO AT HOME.
In imagination we see him now, With his massive form and manly brow, As, at the breaking of the dawn, He plods along from house to barn.
He has crossed the highway that intervenes, And passed the knoll with its dress of green; Now the murmur of the stock we hear, Expressing impatience as feast-time draws near.
As we watch him steadily on his return, Laden with the product for the churn, Is it a break in his walk that we discern? Yes, but his step is strong and firm.
Later, we see him at the sacred board, Asking a blessing on the bounties of God ; Reading the Bible, offering prayer, All in the circle receiving their share.
Again we behold him a man among men, Ready always to rise but never descend — Now, bidding farewell to this domain, He leaves with us all a golden name.

68 THE WALDO GENEALOGY.
THE OLD HOUSE.
The Stearns house, now owned and occupied by Joseph Hall, in which his children all lived during their young days, was built during the early part of the u hundred years Indian war," or about 1696, according to Isaac T. Hutch ins, an old resident of Danielsonville, who claims to know its history. It was built in that place by a Dea. Stearns, of Mansfield, Ct. He sold it to Dr. Walton, a wealthy, hot-headed Tory, who was obliged to abscond to Canada during the Revolutionary war, to escape the wrath of the " sons of liberty." He sold all his possessions, and the house then became the property of Dr. Fuller, who became wealthy by being a surgeon on board of a privateer during the war. He sold the house to Dr. Penuel Hutchins, and finally died a pauper in Attleboro', Mass., losing his property by extravagant living. After the death of Dr. Hutchins, the house was owned by his son Isaac, who sold it to Joseph Bates, he disposing of it to Dea. Leonard Burgess, who moved it from the original site on Main street, to its present location on Hutchins street, when Mr. Hall bought it, and beautified it by enclosing it with trees. The house is the same in shape as when first built, with the excep- tion of an addition of a few feet on the west end, and jets which were not built in those days. The frame is of enor- mous oak timbers, seemingly as sound to-day as ever. A view within shows its antiquity more than without, from the beams projecting into the rooms.

She evinced a love for books very early in life, and consequently became an efficient scholar. After her public profession of religion in her nineteenth year, when she united with the Congregational church, her earnest- ness Tbecame more intense to obtain a higher education, in or- der "that site might be able to be more useful to the world. She 'left home and attended an academy in eastern New York, then taught by Prof. Salem Town. After a few months in this school she received, with two others, a certificate of extraor- dinary merit in scholarship and proper demeanor. She then went to Amherst, Mass., where she studied the classics under her brother's instruction, he being a student in the college there, and attended two courses of lectures delivered by Prof. Hitchcock. From this time^ on for several years she taught and studied. She was called to take charge of the ladies de- partment in the Fort Coyington Academy, N. Y., Prof. Dan-: iel Branch acting as principal.

Hon. Loren Waldo's life was an eventful one. k' His edu- cation, so far as it was obtained from schools and instructors, (except while studying law) was completed when he was fourteen years of age. From that time until he was twenty- one he taught school every winter, devoting the rest of the time to labor on his father's farm. His zeal for knowledge could not be quenched, and all this while he applied himself in every leisure hour, to study, and in this way mastered the higher branches of mathematics, and acquired a good knowl- edge of Latin. He carried Hodge's Logic with him into the fields, and in the brief intervals of labor mastered its contents.
JUDGE LOREN P. WALDO.
(10)
THE WALDO GENEALOGY. 8 1
He left home when twenty-one and entered upon the study of law with his uncle in the town of Tolland, at the same time earning his living. At the age of 23 he was admitted to the bar by the county court of Tolland county at the September term in 1825. Beginning life under most discouraging aus- pices, with his courage and persistence he surmounted all ob- stacles, and rose to fill places of trust and honor. He was postmaster in Somers two years, and held town offices. He was Representative from the town of Tolland for 6 years, 1832, '33, '34, 39, 47, 48. In 1 849 he was elected to represent his district in the 31st Congress of the United States. He was chairman on the committee on revolutionary pensions. Dur- ing President Pierce's administration he was appointed Com- missioner of Pensions at Washington, in which service he continued until elected Judge of the Superior Court of Con- necticut for a term of eight years. About the year 1863 Judge Waldo removed from Tolland to Hartford, where he pursued the practice of his profession, at first in partnership with his son-in-law, A. P. Hyde, Esq., and more recently in the well- known firm of Waldo, Hubbard & Hyde." In politics he was a Democrat, and gave its candidates and measures his cor- dial and generous support. He wrote, in 1861, a history of Tolland. After his death the Hartford County Bar introduced resolutions highly applauding his life-work and lamenting the loss of so great a friend and public benefactor. He gathered a great deal of material some time before his death for the gene- alogy of this great family, and promised to prepare all he had for the press, but soon after died. His daughter kindly fur- nished all his papers for our perusal relative to this subject.

Gen. GofF has led an almost continuous public life. At the time of the war he, with his whole family, took sides with the Union, and in May, 1861, enlisted as a private in company G, Third Virginia Union Infantry. His regiment participated in many severe engagements. He soon became Second Lieuten- ant, and in 1864 he was made Major of his regiment, having been advanced through all the intermediate grades. In an en- gagement at Moorefield, Goffs horse was shot from under him, and he was taken prisoner and sent to Libby. While in prison a confederate Major Armsey, who lived in the adjoining coun- ty to GofF, was captured by the Federals and condemned to death as a spy, with others. Then the Confederates choose Goff as the person to put to death as an act of reprisal with others, as soon as the spies were executed. In his letter to President Lincoln in relation to his confinement he says: " If Major Armsey is guilty he should be executed, regardless of its consequences to me. The life of a single soldier, no matter who he may be, should not stand in the way of adherence to a great principle." Armsey was finally exchanged for Goff,
THE WALDO GENEALOGY. 99

He was the means afterwards of saving Armsey's life ; he having been captured and placed in the jail at Clarksburg, where the people threat- ened his life, and but for GofFs interposition would probably have carried their threats into execution. He left the army as a Brevet Brigadier General of Volunteers. He was admitted to the bar in 1 865 . He has been practicing law since that time with good success. He represented his town in the Leg- islature in 1S67. and '68, when he was appointed U. S. Dis- trict Attorney. In 1 88 1 he was appointed Secretary of the Navy by President Hayes.

Here lies the mortal remains of
An American Merchant, born in the town of Boston,
In America, in the year of our Lord, 1723,
From whence he came to England.
After residing at Bristol a number of years, traveling through various parts of the kingdom, he retired to this town, where, after a patient endurance of the infirmaties of old age, he departed this life
Like autumn fruit mellowed long, Even wondered at that he fell not sooner; Fate seemed to wind him up for fourscore Years, yet freely ran he on ten winters more; 'Till, like a clock worn out with eating time, The wearied wheels of life at last stood still.
Upon inquiry I found that he was alive in / lat town ; that it was indited and erected under his inspectioy to be fitted up with dates, after his decease, by his son, wLo was living in Bristol. I visited him ; found him in a very inferior state of health ; faculties impaired ; related to me his leaving America : expressed great sorrow for having so done, mentioning his

tion : Elisha Hurlbut, Ralph, Harriet, Thos. Fanning, Nancy, Albigence, Jr. ; by bis second wife Lucy Cargill, bad Lucy, and Laura.
We are indebted to Mr. John M. Cargill, of Providence, R. I., a nephew of Dr. Waldo's second wife, for papers fur- nished from which we gathered the following, the papers being found by him in an old house at the foot of Mount Tom, near the Connecticut river, where they were placed by the Doctor's wife, she having taken up her residence there soon after his death : i; On the breaking out of the Revolution, Dr. Waldo proceeded with the neighbors around about Pomfret, to Boston, immediately after receiving news of the battle of Lexington, their leader probably l}eing Gen. Putnam. He re- mained at Cambridge and Roxbury until honorably discharged, his health having failed him. On Dec. 14th, 1JJ6, he was ap- pointed by Gov. Trumbull, surgeon of the ship Cromwell. The ship not sailing, he, by the Governor's permission, attached himself to Gol. Huntington's newly raised regiment as sur- geon. This happened April 3d, 1777, in New Jersey, and he continued to do his duty with fidelity, and to the satisfac- tion of the officers and soldiers, and was discharged in Oct., 1779. He was in the winter quarters at Valley Forge, and the following spring was with the jubilant Yankees as they gave chase to the Red Coats, then riving for safety over the plains of Monmouth. The war made him a poor man. The continental money amounting to but little for the support of his family, and consequently, after the war petitioned the Con- necticut Legislature to be ' exonorated from his past debts, have an equal share in the bounty of his country for real losses and services, and that he may have the privileges of a free citizen during the little remainder of life,' etc. He was a great ad- mirer of Washington, as is shown by the many letters he sent home from the front containing glowing sentiments about him.
14
THE WALDO GENEALOGY. 113
That Washington respected him highly is shown by his hav- ing employed him to copy many of his military orders, and presented him with a sword, which is still in the possession of Mr. Cargill, who also has the Doctor's iron-bound chest which he carried with him through the war, which now only con- tains the old sword, brass scales, by which he weighed his medicines, old papers, books, records, etc., his surgical outfit having been removed." Mr. Waldo received his early train- ing in the schools of his native town. He acquired his great skill and eminence as a physician and surgeon by study and practice at home, by extensive observations in the army, and by intercourse with the best of physicians. He had an extend- ed practice, was well known in Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and Connecticut. Three of his day-books, bound in hog-skin, contain the names of some 6000 patients treated by him, cov- ering a period of seventeen years, which included only those who had their accounts charged. Gen. Putnam's name ap- pears several times as one of his patients. He was a neighbor and intimate friend of the General. His brother Samuel was the General's son-in-law.
He gave the eulogium at Putnam's grave, also at the grave of Capt. Asa Lyon, 1785. Being an able man he was often called upon on such occasions, He was so highly esteemed in Pomfret that many children were given his name. He died in 1794- Gen. McClellan delivered the funeral address in be- half of the Masonic fraternity. Moriah Lodge erected a mon- ument to his memory in the principal cemetery of Pomfret. The following is the inscription upon the monument : —
" The Master Wardens and Brethren
of Moriah Lodge

For the virtues, talents and usefulness
Of their late worthy Brother,

Who, attentively studying the works of God
In the admirable frame of man,
Rose to eminent distinction
In the noble art of healing.
His name is Charity ;
His actions, Humanity ;
His intercourse with men, benevolence and love.

Dr. Waldo's book-mark, which he was accustomed to place in books loaned, was
PROPERTY. " The wicked borroweth and returneth not."
The righteous borrow, read with care, and speedily return to the owner.
Dr. Waldo kept a diary while he was at Valley Forge, which is full of interest from beginning to end. We give a few extracts only. The contents of the diary was published in the Historical Magazine in 1861, and in 1S63 it contained the poem that the Doctor wrote while in camp, a part of which will be found below, which was addressed to his wife, whom he called Celia. He began his diary Dec. 10, 1777.

SECOND LINE IN CAMP.
Valley Forge, Apiil 26, 1778.
INTRODUCTION.
1 sing in Hudebrastic strains,
Of huts, encampments, and campaigns.
O Celia! listen to my lays, For my ambition is thy praise: Inspired by Him who formed thee, I catched friendship's first idea. The happy knot, I fondly own, Confirmed my love for you alone — Be then my muse, and smooth along This rugged medley of a song.
MY HUT AND THE PROSPECT FROM IT.
My humble hut demands a right
To have its matter, birth, and site
Described first! Of pond'rous logs
Whose bulk disdains the winds or fogs.
The sides and ends are fitly raised,
And by dove-tail each corner's brae'd;
Athwart the roof young saplings lie.
Which fire and smoke has now made dry —
Next, straw wraps o'er the tender pole.
Next earth, then splints o'erlay the whole;
Although it leaks when show'rs are o'er
It didn't leak two hours before.
Two chimneys plac'd at op'site angles
Keep smoke from causing oaths and wrangles,
(Which some philosophers have swore
Will turn us as quick out of th' door,
And is the second plague in life
To what is called the scolding wife;

But I know nothing of this matter, Being never plagu'd with female clatter; Peace to all such who know that, too. While happy I am blessed with you :) Our floors of sturdy timber made, Cleav'd from the oak and level laid ; Those cracks where zephyrs oft would play Are tightly closed with plastic clay ; Three windows, placed all in Right, Through oiled paper give us light ; One door, on wooden hinges hung, Lets in the friend, or sickly throng ; By wedge and beetle's splitting force The oaken planks are made, though coarse, By which is formed a strong partition That keeps us in a snug condition ; Divides the kitchen from the hall, Though both are equal, and both email, Yet there the cook prepares the board, There serves it up as to a lord, There knives and spoons and kettles rattle While here we talk of war and battle ; There is the chat and fun of boys Here pensive thoughts or friendship's J03S, Thore flights of fancy ycuth puisne While here I set and think of you.
HRAISE OF THE CAMP AND ITS FOUNDER, WASHINGTON.
'Tis not each high aspiring dome That graced the streets of ancient Rome, — Not Troy's high walls, that rais'd the eyes With tow'ring spires toward the skies, — Not London's pride-that painted Doll, Though once our happy Capitol- Can equal, as the world must own, This ppaeious Camp of Washington !
But here to sing the General's praise, With Washington to grace my lays, Would strain my muse beyond its pow'r And ev'n true praise itself devour, Yet still I must and will impart A verse or two to show my heart.
Oh Washington ! what soul like thine, If aught below can be divine, — 'Tis thou !— " in every instance try'd Above all passsion, pain, or pride, Or power or rage of public breath, Vile Lucre," or the dread of Death, Not one that knows thee but must love — Those that but see thee will approve ! The World and Angels do command The heav'n born Universal Friend. Oh, could I reach the true sublime ! Transmit his worth to latest time !
THE WALDO GENEALOGY. I 19
In son'rous verse sublimely raise His virtues and deserved praise, Quartos and folios I'd write upon And shew the world a Washington !
But let ine shrink into myself.
Least from Parnassus some vile Elf
From tall Pegassus tumble me
And make me but too plainly see
I ne'er was born nor made a Poet
Make all that know me, and Celia know it,
Therefore I'll softly walk along
And humbly sing my narrative song.

In 1794 David Ripley Waldo removed to Hudson, N. Y., and died there Oct. 16, 1815. David R. Waldo was hard- working, conscientious and scrupulously honest ; and by these means at the age of 37, when he died, he had succeeded in amassing a large fortune. His business was that of general merchandise and freighting.
George Clark Waldo, son of David Ripley Waldo and Deborah Clark, was born in Hudson, N. Y., Sept. 1, 1798, and died in Boston, Mass., April 20, 1826. We have been unable to secure anything of value concerning George Clark Waldo. It is known that he followed the sea.
Charles Waldo, son of David Ripley Waldo and Deborah Clark, was born in Hudson, N. Y., Sept. 20, 1800, and died at Hudson, N. Y., Oct. 17, 1838. He graduated at Union College. He was by profession a lawyer of considerable prom- inence ; held various positions of trust and responsibility ; a
THE WALDO GENEALOGY. 131
brilliant conversationalist and ready debater. Among his inti- mate friends were numbered many of the learned and influen- tial men of his time. His preferences were the society of re- fined and literary gentlemen. He never married.
Henry Waldo was born in Hudson, N. Y., Feb. 18, 1805. He was the son of David R. Waldo aid Deborah Clark. On Feb. 10, 1845, he married Sarah Heath, of Hudson, a daugh- ter of John Heath and Maria Webb. They had four children, 8th generation : Jane Eliza. George Clark, Deborah, Hattie.
Henry Waldo was of a roving disposition, fond of adventure, brave and hearty, and at the age of fifteen he ran away from his home and embarked on a sailing vessel as a sailor. His elder brother Charles, not caring to have Henry follow the sea, pursued him and endeavored to induce him to remain at home, but he had his labor for his pains. Henry was determined to see the world, and despite all the persuasions of his friends re- mained a sailor. Among the many reminiscences of his rov- ing life are the following :
One day during a fearful gale of wind an English brig was sighted ; signals of distress were flying from her mast-head, and to all appearances her situation was a desperate one. The vessel upon which young Waldo was sailing ran down toward the unfortunate vessel, only to find that she was water-logged and sinking. The waves ran so high that to reach the sinking ship seemed almost impossible. Young Waldo, who was then mate of his vessel, was not daunted by the outlook ; he went forward among his men and asked if any of them would go with him to the wreck. Four volunteered to go at the risk of their lives. After great difficulties they reached the brig, but the wind was so high that they found it impossible to make fast to her. Two or three times their light boat became near being swamped. Taking advantage of moments when the boat would approach the brig, a man and his wife and three children were
132 THE WALDO GENEALOGY.
rescued. Not satisfied with this, young Waldo made two more trips to the sinking vessel and succeeded in saving the rest of the crew. About four hours previous to the rescue an English vessel had "spoken the brig," but instead of laying by had left her to her fate. For this service the British Board of Admi- ralty presented Henry Waldo and the crew of his vessel with £100 sterling.
On another occasion Henry Waldo was wrecked in the At- lantic ocean ; for two days and three nights he and seven com- panions sat on the taffrail of his ship, with difficulty keeping their heads out of water, the sea washing over them all the time. On the third morning they were rescued from their perilous position by a Charleston packet.
Henry Waldo followed the sea until he was forty years of age. About this time he was made captain of the ship "Or- bit." A short time afterwards he retired, married, and settled down in Hudson, N. Y. He engaged in mercantile pursuits, but the quiet life of Hudson did not agree with his roving tem- perament. In 1 849, when the California gold fever was raging, a company of volunteers was organized in Hudson for the purpose of buying a vessel in which to sail to the coveted gold fields. Fifty-four men composed the party, and $27,000 was invested in the enterprise. The bark tk Mousam" was purchased, and Henry Waldo was unanimously elected captain of the vessel and treasurer of the company. After a successful voyage the party reached San Francisco, where the vessel was sold and the balance of cash and provisions distributed pro rata among them. To enumerate the different pursuits of this gallant army of explorers is not our purpose. Their lives are a part of the history of California. Henry Waldo remained about eighteen months ; during his short stay he was elected associate judge of Eldorado county, and opened the first court there. He was prominently connected and identified with this now thriving

county. At this time his health not being good he determined to return to the east. Every effort was made to persuade him to remain, but to no purpose. On his way home on. board •ship he was stricken with shagrus fever and came near dying. His determination not to die then, to use his own words, saved his life. He succeeded in reaching safely his old home in Hud- son, N. Y., where, under careful nursing, he soon recovered his health. About this time political party contests were running high. Captain Waldo was offered and accepted the nomina- tion for Sheriff of Columbia county, New York state, and he was the only republican elected on the ticket, his majority being eighty-three votes. The contest was the closest ever known in Columbia county. In 1865 Captain Waldo was given an ap- pointment in the customs service in New York City. He is now in the eightieth year of his age, is well and hearty, and able to attend to his business.

He was also in New Orleans for a short time. William Waldo was never satisfied away from home ; he was devotedly attached to his mother, and lived but one year after her death.
