PREFACE.

The object proposed in the present work, is to fumisli a full and accurate history of the Lcland family in America. It has been the aim of the author to make the history so complete that all the descendants of Henry Leland, the common family ancestor in this country, may learn from it at once, their rela- tionship to him and to each other.

The better to accomplish this object the tabular form has been adopted, thus greatly facilitating the case and readiness witli whicli any line of descent in the family can be traced. This, together vnth the full index inserted in the book, will make it eminently convenient for reference. It is hoped that the convenience thus resulting will more than compensate for the much greater expense of this mode of publication. The plates which appear in the Magazine, have been procured and inserted, with the kind consent of such as are livhig, and of the near relatives of such as have deceased, of those whom the plates represent. These, it is believed, will both contribute to the appropriate embclhshment of the work, and prove a source of pleasure and interest to the numerous family connexions, whose friends may, in tliis way, be specially called to remembrance.

Tlic sketches of the lives of indi\dduals and families, introduced in the work, may be relied upon as accurate ; having, in all instances, been prepared by those who know that whereof they affirm ; and the accounts are as full as the materials and circumstances would allow. There are, undoubtedly, many others equally worthy of notice with those of whom special mention has been made. It will be suffi- cient apology, that such are passed in silence, to let it be known, that the reciuisite information could not be obtained to give even a sketch of their history. The author gratefully acknowledges Ids obligations to tlie numerous friends, who in great kindness and accommodation, have furnished him witii the information indispensable to the accomplishment of his work. While correctness has been ainied at, it is not presumed that all en-ors have been avoided. It is hoped, however, tliey will be found to be few and unimportant, and such as will be readily pardoned by all who can, in any measure, appreciate the magnitude and difficulty of the labor to be performed.

It is unnecessary to say much in exjilanation of the unavoidably long delay in the appearance of tlic book. Those who know any thing of the nature of the task of collecting the materials for such a work from all parts of the land, and preparing them for the press, will demand no explanation. Those who do not, would be unprepared to appreciate it, should it be given. The author has only to say, that he has endeavored to furnish the book at the earliest practicable date.

The sketch of the English branch of the Leland family, which follows these brief introductory remarks, has been prepared and furnished by the Hon. P. W. Leland, of Fall River.

A SKETCH

OF THE

ENGLISH BRANCH OF THE LELAND FAMILY.

BY P. W. LELAND

Family names among the early Saxons, and subsequently among the Anglo-Saxons, it is well known, were derived or adopted from trades, callings, professions, names of places, moral and physical excellencies or deformities, acts performed, places resident, or from terminal affixes to parental desig- nations. English literature abounds in this species of etymology, a copious list of which may be found in " Harrison's Rise and Progress of the English Language."

The name Leland, variously written previously to the reign of George II., may owe its origin to the locality occupied by the family in England, or to the original Saxon or Norman district whence the family took its rise. It is stated by one eminent biographical writer, that a district of country in England gave name to the family. This may be true, or the reverse may be the true hypothesis, viz : that the family gave name to the district. The strip of territory, denominated Leyland, on most full maps of the Island of Great Britain, one of which is inserted in "McCuUoch's Commercial Dictionary," gives color to either supposition. Leyland, as applied to a portion of countiy, is a description of the uses to which it is devoted, taking the etymology of the word in the sense used by the early Anglo- Saxons. The words, Lee, Leigh, Lea, Ley, Lye, though orthographically different, have all the same signification, and denote a pasture; and united with the last syllable of the name may properly mean pasture ground or land. Hence, in early times, the family may have been generally shepherds and tillers of the soil. In accordance with ancient orthography the last syllable of the name is often found written, lond or londe, this being the mode of spelling the word land, during the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, as may be seen by consulting the speech of William Thirnyng to Richard II„ at the Tower of London, as given by Lord Campbell, in his Lives of the Chief Justices.

The same name is somewhat common in France, slightly varied in its orthography to suit the genus of that beautiful language. It is there written Lalande, the article La being substituted for Le or Ley, the noun following being feminine, and the e final added in accordance with the grammatical structure of that tongue.

The orthography of the English language was in an unsettled state so late even as the time of Dr. Johnson, and the names of persons, as well as of things were, in the absence of any recognised standard of authority, written according to the ear of the writer, and the unestablished value attached to the

aymlwls used. Words were laden down with dii)hthonKs, douhlc consonanLs, and silent Icttcn*, witJi- out rule and without reason. During tliis slate of learning; tlie name, now universally written Ijland is found in book.s and ancient docunientd written J^yland, lA^aland, Iceland, iMi/lund, and Ijcylonde nor is thi.'<, by any means, a sinf;iilar instance of diversity : Campbell pives numerous insUirKe-t in wiiicii tlie names of well known persons in England, during the fifleenth and si.xtcenth centuricti, exhibit from five to twenty variations in their orthography.

The earliest of our name, historically known to the writer, is John Leland, bom at London alxjut the year l.')12. He nourished in the reign of Henry VIII., and was one of the most aceom{)lishcd scholais, and voluminous writers of the sixteenth century. In looking over a catalogue of his works, their vast variety and extent, one is astonished that a man dying at the age of about forty, could have accomplished so much. His education commenced under the famous William Lily, at St. Paul's, and was subsequently continued at Christ's College, Cambridge, where he became a fellow. His academic course was finally completed at All Souls' College, Oxford. Cotcmporary and subsequent history pronounce, him one of the most accomplished linguists of his age. He spoke and wrote the Latin, Greek, Saxon and Welsh, with the facility and correctness of natives of those countries.

On leaving Oxford, he went to I'aris, at which city, and on the continent, he spent several years, the literary associate and companion of Budaeu, Faber, Paulus iEmilius, Ruellius and Francis Sylvius. While there he added to his knowledge of European languages, those of French, Italian and Spanish, and returned to England about the year 1537. Shortly after, Henry VIII. made him his chaplain, and conferred on him the rectory of Pepling, and about the same time created for him a new office, that of the " King's Antiquary," which has this honorable distinction, that the office was created for John Leland, and expired with him, he .being the first and last Royal Antiquar\' of England. With this commission he was authorized to survey and examine all the antiquities of the realm, monasteries, monastic and college libraries, natural curiosities, and whatever might contrib- ute to the history of the country and the glory of the nation. In tlie execution of this trust he spent six years, visited every part of the island, " surveyed to^vns and cities and rivers ; castles, cathedrals and monasteries ; tumuli, coins and inscriptions ; collected authors and transcribed manuscripts." Over his vast collection of materials he wrought si.x additional years, writing out, mostly, in elegant Latin, an account of his great discoveries. Henry was a munificent patron, confening on his Antiquary valuable livings, and cheering him on in the accomplishment of his magnificent undertakings. "Henry," says D'Israeli, "was worthy of Leland, and the genius of the author was magnificant as that of the monarch who created it." Among other elegant fruits of the Antiquary Royal, was the production of his " Strena, or a New Year's Gift," which he presented to the king in 1545. " It coiisists," says the author just quoted, "of an account of his studies; and sketches with a fervid and vast imagination, his magnificent labor, which he had already inscribed with the title " De Antiquitatc Britannica," and which was to be divided into as many books as there were shires. AJl parts of this Address of the King's Antiquary to the King, bear the stamp of his imagination and his taste." His principal great works are the following: " Commentarii de Scriptoribus," " The 'Itinerary','' " De Rebus Britanicus Collectana-," and a work entitled "Assertio Inclytissimi Arturii Regis Britannia;," — relating to the illustrious Arthur, king of England.

In the midst of these great labors, the Antiquary frequently gave wings to his brilliant and chaste imagination, throwing off elegant effusions, sometimes in prose, but oftencr in Latin and English verse; one of which, entitled the " Cygnea Cantio," or "the Song of the Swans," is still beautiful for its plan, and the subjects introduced. The Swan of Leland melodiously floats down the Thames from Oxford to Greenwich, and chants, as she passes along, the ancient names and honors of the towns and castles. The genius of Leland was lofty and brilliant. Whatever he touched received the mark of his owa greatness. Whether pouring over the drj- details of antiquarian research, or striking the harp strings of the muses, he left the impress of a mind always profound, always brilliant, always alive to the honor and glory of his country. The man appears on every page ; even his humbler efforts are worthy of himself The king died soon after receiving the " New Year's Gift," and from this moment the Royal Antiquary was another being. His wonted energy gave way ; the man of labor became melan- choly, and began to look upon his vast labors with something of indifference Once he had dreams of enduring and world-wide fame ; in his hours of melancholy his ambition shrunk ^vithin the narrower

limits of his own country and his o%vn age. He gave vent to this feeling in the follomng beautiful Latin verse, taken from DTsraeli's Miscellanies of Literatm-e : —

POSTERITATIS AMOR BUBIUS.

" Posteritatis amor mihi perblaiiditur, et ultro

Promittit libris secula multa meis. At non lam facile est oculato imponere, nEisco,

Quam non sim tali dignus hoiiore frui. Grfficia magniloquos vales desiderat ipsa,

Roma suos eliam disperiise dolet. Examplis quum sim claris edoctus ab istls,

Qui sperem Musas vivere posse meas? Cerle mi sat aril prsesenti scribere seculo;

Auribus et patriae complacuisse meae." *

Tliis melancholy state of mind increased with time, and at length, involved the whole mental struc- ture of the man. Various causes are assigned for this, and among them, the death of Hemy, to whom the Antiquary seems to have been devotedly attached, has been regarded most prominent. It is also suggested by some -s^Titers, that his stipend or allowance was not regularly paid him under the new dynasty, but for this there does not seem to be any reliable evidence. The suggestion probably has its origin in some melancholy but touching Latin verses of the Antiquary, addressed to Archbishop Cran- mer, which though abounding in allusions to the state of his mind, do not show that any thing relating to his worldly prospects was the cause of his mental depression. The Catholics attributed it to remorse for having withdrawn from the church of Rome. True, John Leland did withdraw from the Catholic communion, and adopt the more simple tenets and less gorgeous ceremonials of the church of England, but it does not appear that he was not to the last perfectly satisfied with the step he had taken. The more probable solution is, that he had over taxed his mental powers, and sank under the magnitude of his self imposed labors. Be the cause of his disorder what it may, the disease terminated in a permanent state of mental aberration. Edward VI., the successor of Henry VIII., by letters patent, dated March 5th, 1550, granted the custody of the Antiquary to his brother, and for his main- tenance he was to receive the profits of the rectories of Hasely and Pepling, with his Salisbury prebend, which had been confen'ed on him by Henry VIII. He died April 18, 1552. His numerous manuscripts, and vast collection of papers, were committed by the king to the care of Sir John Cheke, who shortly after left the country, leaving the manuscripts in the custody of Humphrey Punefoy, Esq. Burton, the historian, subsequently obtained possession of them, and also of eight other volumes of manuscripts in quarto, comprising the "Itenerary," all of which are now in the Bodlian Library, London. Another collection of John Leland's manuscripts is in the Cottonian Collection in the British Museum, among which are the Latin and English verses, -iratton by the Antiquary, and spoken in the Pageant, as Ann Bolyn, one of the wives of Henry VIII., and mother of Queen Elizabeth, went to her coronation

Leland has been the common fountain from which many subsequent writers on English antiquities have dra-rni. To him, Holinshed, Drayton, Camden, Dugdale, Stowe, Sambord and Battelay are indebted for the best portions of their valuable works — a noble fountain, which even those voluminous authors have not exhausted of its riches. He was buried in London, at the west end of Cheapside. The monument erected over his remains was destroyed by the great fire of 1666, and a street now

Wliethcr the family, in the time of the Anti'iuary, was numerous in England, or othcnvisc, is unknown to the wrilcr.

Nearly a eentnry and a half after, ajipeared the eminently illustrious thoolopian, John Lcland.D. D., horn at Wigan, in Lancashire in 1 GUI. The family moved to Duhiiu during iiis eliildliood, where, at the proper age, John entered upon his collegiate course of education. This completed, he prejiarcd himself for the ministry, and was early settled over a congregation of Dissenters, in New Row, Duhlin, about the year ITIG. The father was cotemporary with Henry Leland, the ancestor of the American branch of the family, and in early life both were residents of nearly the same (piarter of the i'^land of Great Britain. Precisely what their relationship was, the wTiter has not been able to ascertain. As Dr. John Leland occupied an important place in the religious world, for the .«pacc of nearly half a century, a short account of his cast of mind and great labors may not be out of place.

Dr. Leland had the good sense to confine himself to the duties of his profession, and the results corresponded to the singleness of his life's pui-pose. To a mind eminently logical and analytical by nature, was added great historical and theological learning, resting on a memory vast and tenacious as his reading and obsenation were extensive. As a controversialist Dr. Leland had few equals, and fewer superiors. On all occasions ho was ready to avow and to defend the faith that was in him. Leained, yet not ostentatious, fearless, yet far removed from recklessness or temerity, he met the opponents of Christianity, whether their approaches were openly or insidiously made, with a logical acuteness as admirable as it was irresistible. His first appearance, as an author, was in 1733, in answer to Tindal's book entitled " Christianity as Old as the Creation." This reply is a masterly refutation of tJie positions and assumptions of his able as well as ingenious antagonist, and brought its author prominently before the public. In l"."?, he encountered Thomas Morgan, a man of celebrity, who had just MTitteu a bold work, of doubtful morality, entitled " The Moral riiilosopher."' Dr. Leland's answer is entitled " The Divine Authority of the Old and New Testament Asserted." In 1742, he wrote and published an answer to a pamphlet entitled " Cliristianity not founded on Argu- ment;" and in 1753, appeared his "Reflections on the Late Lord Bolingbroke's Letters on tlic Study and Use of History, as they relate to Cliristianity and the Holy Scriptures." This is an admirable production, and added greatly to the fame of the author.

In 1754, Dr. Leland published his cliicf work, entitled "A View of the Principal Deistical "Writers that have appeared in England in the Last and Present Centuiy," in letters to a friend. To this gi-eat work he subsequently appended a supplement, relating to the works of Ilume and Lord Bolingbrokc. This is a masterly eflfort of learned and logical acumen, from which subsequent writers have liberally drawn, when treating on the same subject. It is still a standard work, and of high authority amongst theologians. Dr. Leland gave to the world but one other work, and this after he was seventy years old. It is entitled " The Advantages and Necessity of the Christian Revelation."' In reading it one hardly knows which most to admire, its admirable logic or its beautiful display of fervid piety. Though now superseded by other works on the same subject, more elaborately wTitten, it is still resorted to,

by thorough students, as well for its facts, as for its arguments. Dr. Leland died in 1766, being then in his seventy-fifth year. His Sermons, in four volumes, were subsequently published by the Rev. Isaac Weld, his associate and colleague at the New Row Church, in Dublin.

Nearly cotemporary with Dr. John Leland, but younger, and a resident of the same city, was Thomas Leland, D. D., bom in 1722. The writer is not informed as to the relationship existing between them. Thomas was educated at Trinity College, Dublin, at which institution, in 1763, he became professor of oratory ; and shortly afterwards was appointed chaplain to the lord lieutenant of Ireland He was not only a ripe, but an elegant scholar, and contributed largely to the literature of his time. His religious opinions were those of the church of England, of which he is said to have been a brilliant ornament. As an author he is well known to scholars and general readers of the present day ; his principal works being still found in nearly all public, and in many private libraries. While occupying the professorship of oratory he translated from the Greek into Latin, the orations of Demosthenes, and subsequently put them in an English dress. His translation of these celebrated orations is still the very best extant, a beautiful model of correct rendering, and elegant English. He also translated the orations of ^schines with equal fidelity, and no less credit to himself. About the same time, or perhaps a little before, an ingenious historical romance appeared, entitled " Longsword," the autliorship of which, though never avowed by Dr. Leland, is, and was believed, during his life time, to have emanated from his pen. Of this book the writer knows nothing, never having seen a copy. It is said to possess some points of real excellence and great beauty.

Dr. Thomas Leland's most elaborate work, is a history of Ireland, in three volumes, quarto, com- mencing with the invasion of Henry II., and bringing the narration down to the time of the flight of James II., and the accession of Wiliam and Mary to the throne of England. The work is written in a plain, matter of fact style, according to the custom of that day, without much ornament, and with less of disquisition. It is, nevertheless, regai'ded as a faithful chronicle of events as they transpired ■within the period embraced, and altogether, a valuable standard work.

Another considerable work from the pen of Dr. Leland, is his " Life of Philip of Macedon," a well wiitten and very instructive book. This was followed by an elaborate "Dissertation on the Principles of Oratory," an able and valuable work for the time, but now superseded by books of higher finish, and more in consonance with modem practice.

Dr. Leland was, duiing a long literary life, on terms of intimacy with many of the distin- guished scholars of his age. It was at his suggestion, in 1765, in concurrence with Dr. Andrews, that Trinity College, conferred on Samuel Johnson, the great lexicographer, its highest academic honor, that of L. L. D. Dr. Leland obtained the prebend of Nothmichael in the cathedral church of St. Patrick, Dublin, where he occasionally officiated, with great satisfaction to the people, and with credit to the church of England. He is represented as a man of peculiar suavity of manners, and kindness of heart. He died in 1785, at the age of sixty-three. He left a family, but how numerous, is unknown to the writer. The name of his eldest son, was, or is, if living, John, who, it is believed, is father of the present eminent physician and surgeon, Dr Leland, of Dublin. The present " North Leland Street," Dublin, derives its name from this family.

The transatlantic branch of the family is still numerous in England, there being both at London and Livei-pool, several houses of extensive business and sound reputation, all descendants, like the American branch, from a common ancestry. Of these, it is not in place here, to speak in detail.

\Q HENRY LELAND'S CHILDEEN AND GRANDCHILDREN.

From the most accurate information available, Henry Leland, the Progenitor of all who bear the name in this comitry, (with two exceptions, one who adopted the name, the origin of the other not known,) was born in England about the year 1625.

It is supposed that he emigrated to America, in 1652, as the Ecclesiastical Records of Dorchester, show that he united with the church in that Town, in 1653. After a short residence in Dorchester, Mr Leland settled on a tract of land, included in v/hat was afterwards the Town of SherburnCj Avhere he re- sided until the time of his death, in 1680.

It is believed on evidence derived from some ancient records, confirmed by tradition, that Mr L. married previous to his removal to this country. It is much to be regretted that there are no sources of information, for determining the circumstances connected with his leaving the land of his nativity, to venture upon a life of hardship in the wilds of America.

All, however, vv^ho are conversant with the history of that period will readily understand the cause of this deficiency. In those " troublous times," in the midst of their labors and trials, our Fathers did not provide for transmitting their history to unborn generations.

There is good reason, however, for believing that Henry Leland was a man in character like his comrades in those days, distinguished for firmness, cour- age, patient endurance and invincible moral and religious integrity.

The whole number of lineal descendants from Henry Leland, the first fam- ily ancestor of the name in America, cannot be definitely ascertained, but from the statistics collected, it cannot be less than fifteen thousand. May they and their posterity through all coming ages emulate his virtues, and prove themselves worthy descendants of their justly honored ancestor.

It is thought that the will of Henry Leland, a copy of which has been obtained from the Probate Records, may be of suflicient interest to justify its insertion in connexion with this brief sketch;

HENRY LELAND'S WILL.

In the Name of God, Amen —

The twenty-seventh day March, in the year of our Lord, 1680.

I, HENRY LAYLAND, of Sherburne, being sick aud weake in body, but of sound and perfect memorie, praised be God for the same ; and knowing the uncertainty of this life, on earth, and being desirous to settle things in order, do make this, my last will and testament, in manner and form following : that is to say.

First and principally, I commend my soul to Almighty God, my Creator, assuredly believing that I shall receive full pardon, and remission of all my sins, and be saved, by the precious death and merits of my blessed Saviour and Redeemer, Jesus Christ, and my body to the earth, from whence it was taken, to be buryed in such decent and christian manner as, to my executors, hereafter named, shall be thought meete and convenient.

And as toa(-liiii|^ such worldly cstati; as the Lord, in mercy, hath h.'nl inoe, my will and meaning is, the sumo shall be imploycd and hcsiowcd as hcreaf- UiY, by this my will, is expressed.

And first I doc revok(>, renounce, iVusirate. and ma!ce void all wills by me Ibrmerly made, and declare and appoint tins my last wdl aiicJ testament.

1 will that all those del)ts 1 owe to any maimer ol' person, be well and tridy contented and paid.

I/t:fn — I'Uto my deare wife, Marc2:aret Layland, dinint: the term of her nat- urall lil'c", she remayniut? my widdow, 1 give and ht'cjueath the use ol" that jiart or halle of my dwelluig liouse which we now dwell in, with tiie use of that part of the barne which is now in my improvement ; two acres of tillage land, ix^hindc the barne,* or where else she shall make choice of it, witlnn the two hundred acres : six acres of meadow, to be taken at the npper corner of IJrown's meadow, the friiitc of one half of the orchard in the upper side of the highway and about the dwelling house and barno. My mind and will is that my said deare wife, shall (iiiilil she shall see well to dispose t!j(^ same to my sou ljl(^azur,) enjoy toner ownc usi^ and bchalle. one half of the land, botli upland and meadow, lying on the lower side of the way; and my will i.s, that immediately after my decease my son Eleazur, do enjoy the other lialf of the said tract of land lying on the lower side of the way; and that after my wife's decease, the whole said tract ot lauds, with all the riirhts, privileges and appur- tenances thereto belouiiing. benefits, profits, and comoditics therefrom arisin?, shall be and remayne wholly and solely to the said Eleazur and his, forever.

I/(.'jn — I give to my deare wife, as her owne, to dis))0se what remains there- of, at her decease, among my children and grandchildren, as she shall sec mcete, all the household stuffs and necessary utensils, in that part of the house we now live in or pertaining to it, as also my mare; two cows, at her choice; all my swine, and all the fowls.

And it is my miude and will, that my wife, from time to time, and at all times, as she shall liave occasion, shall liave liberty of free and uninterrupted recourse to and from house, barne, meadow, tillage-land, orchard, not only for herself, but also all such other as she seeth meete to employ, as also of keeping such creatures as she shall see meete and are needful for her use.

Fiiiihcr — iVIy minde and will is, that my dear wife and my son, Eleazur Layland, do and shall pay imto Bethia Twitchcll, when she, the said Bcthia shall come of age, forty shillings.

lloiti — To my eldest son, Hopestill Layland, I do give and bequeath the Avhole two hundred acres of land which I purchased of Mr. Lane, with my new dwelling house and barne, and all other buildings upon the said land, and all the ris-hts privilcGfCs and appurtenances unto the said land and housing ; es- pecially a I! land and ]iieadow, which, in any after divisions or allottments, may or shall bo allowed or laid out, upon the right of flie said living (excepting the above mentioned particulars willed to my deare wife, lor her use diu'ing the tearmeof her nattiu'al Hife,as aboves^; all which, notwithstanding this gilt to my son, Hopesiill, she shall enjoy as abovesaid, and the reversion to be to him,) he paying out of the same in convenient time, that is so soon as may be. without extraordinary straitning himself, twenty pounds, in country pay. at this house, to my daughter l-ixperience Colburne, and to my five grandchildren, now in being, forty shillings apiece, when they and as they shall attain to six- teen years of age ; and excepting also, out of this gift, foure acres of meadow, liereafter otherwise disposed.

I also give to my son, Hopestill, one colt, and all tlie above mentioned par- ticulars, to him bequeathed, to be to him and his forever.

To my son, Ebenezur, according to my agreement with my brother. Brazier, I give and bequeath the land I purchased of Goodman Holbrook, being sixty-

seven acres of upland and five acres of meadov/, as also four acres of meadow; to be taken in Brown's meadow, next the ditch throughout, provided he help his brother, Hopestill, to set up the remainder of fence about the said Brownes meadow. I also give unto my said son Ebenezur, that paire of my oxen which are now in his keeping, and the spaid mares colt, if he can finde it, to have the several p'lculars to him bequeathed, to him and his forever.

To my son Eleazur, above and besides the above bequeathed land, I give one cow, to be chosen by him out of my cows, after his mother hath chosen hers : and I sive to him also, the colt which came of the mare that Goodman Breek had.

Item — I do constitute andap pointe my eldest son Hopestill, and my deare wife Margaret, joint executors of this, my last will and testament, hereby in- vesting them with full power to call for and receive all debts and dues, to the said estate appertaining, either in or out of this jurisdiction. Nevertheless, my minde and will is, that my Vv'-ife shall not be burdened w^ith the payment of debts, but that matter to be wholly performed by my son Hopestill.

And I constitute my loving brother, Roljert_^adcock, overseer of this, my last willand testament, intreating his utmost care aiid endeavor that all things be ordered as is herein expressed. And I do sollemnly charge and commantl my cliildren, each one, as they expect God's blessing with and upon what they receive, to avoid strife and discontentment, and to live in peace and unity one with another.

Memorandum. Before signing and sealing, it was willed, by Henry Lay] and, that if his wife should change her condition she shall have liberty to take her thirds of the estate, according to law, instead of that which is given in this will, upon that condition (during her remaining his widow.)

HENRY LAYLAND. [l.s.]

This will was read to Henry Layland, and by him declared to be his last will and testament, in presence of

^ James Holbrook, ( Thomas Mighell.

Thomas Holbrook, and Thomas Mighell, witnesses, made oath before Wm. Stoughton, Esq., and Joseph Dudley, Esq., assistants, 8 June, 16S0, that they were present and did see and heare Henry Layland signe and scale and pub- lish this instrument to be his last will; and that then he was of disposing minde, to their best understanding.

As Attest,

IsA. Addington, Clei\

Henry Leland's first child, was either born while on his passage from Eng- land, or very soon after his arrival m America, for it appears from the church records of Dorchester, that Hopestill, son of Henry and Margaret Layland was baptized in May 16.53. The births of his other four children, are entered upon the town records of Medfield. They were born before the existence of Sherburne as a town, not in Medfield, but upon the land, Avhicli, upon the incorporation of tlie town of Sherburne, became a part of its territory. His daughter Experience Avas married in 1.672, settled in Dedham, and continued to reside there until the time of her death. — His three sons settled, lived and died in Sherburne, near the place of their births. There is nothing known of

Eleazer Leland left no issue; seven of the eight sons of Hopestill attained the age of manhood, established themselves in Sherburne, or Holliston, a town taken from Sherburne in 1724, and spent their lives there. All the sons of Fibenezer commenced their career in hfe, in Sherburne, and Holliston. Ebene- zer remained through life in Sherburne. Timothy and Isaac settled, lived and (lied in Holliston. James married in Sherburne, and with his young family in 1723 removed to the county of Worcester, and settled upon a township of land, called Hassanamisco, which afterwards took the corporate name of Cirafton. Amariah remained in Sherburne until about the year 17C(), when he removed to Providence. R. I. and from Providence to the Island of Mount Desert, in Maine.

The family name appears to have been spelt by Henry and his son Eleazer, Layland. By his sons Hopestill and Ebenezer, Lealand. And their descendants, Avho remainod in Sherburne and Holliston^ continued to use the same mode of spelling, until about thirty years ago. But since the yeaY 1S20, the name, •in all the dilferent branches of the family, has been almost invariably spelt Leland.

When James Leland left Sherburne, in 1723, for the county of Worcester, the place where he settled was a new and uncultivated country. He acquired a large tract of land upon the Blackstone river, in the Southwest corner of the township of Hassanamisco, which was afterwards, in 173-5, mcorporated as a town, by the name of Grafton, and in the adjoining part of the town of Sutton. Six of his children were born in Sherburne, and five in the new township. He established his place of residence on the Eastern bank of the river, in Grafton. All his children, who attained the age of twenty-one, married and settled near him; Jerusha, Benjamin, James, Hannah, Deliver- ance and Phineas in Grafton; Moses and Thomas in Sutton; and Thankful, in Northbridge. From his large tract of land, he furnished his sons with farms.

JAMES LELAND'S POSTEKITY 35

All his sons, but James, remained at or near the places where they first settled, tlirough lil'e. James, at an advanced period ol'his lile, removed from Grafton to Ashheld, Mass., and after a few years, he left his new jjlacr; of residence, and went into the Western jmrt of the state of New York, and settled in a place now called Hopewell, in llu; county of Ontario. Jeru.sha and Hannah remained in (jrafton until their deaths. Thankful cftutinued to reside in .North- bridge, for many years; hut after the death of her husband, she went to Croy- don, N. H., to live with her children. Deliverance joined the society of Shak- ing Quakers, and went to live with them in the Psorlherly part of the county of Worcester.

All the children of Jerusha Leland were born in Grafton. Her son James, soon after his marriage, went to Hardwick, Mass., and remained there through Hfe. Jerusha, on her marriage, settled in Framingham. Moses was one of the first settlors in Croyden, New Hampshire, and experienced, in full measure, those hardships and privations, which are allotted to tho.se who tirst settle new countries. In the latter part of his life he removed to Charlestown, X . H. Hannah, after her marriage, lived in Shrewsbury. Prudence lived in Grafton, Mass., Croyden, Newport, N. H. Elizabeth, lived in noplace but Grafton; and Susannah and Jemima, on their marriage, went to Upton, and remained there as long as they lived.

All the children of Benjamin Leland were born in Grafton ; and all, except Deborah, Lucy and Benjamin, remained there through life. Deborah left Graf- ton at an advanced period of life, for Cato, Cayuga county. New- York, to live with her only daughter. Lucy, who was twice married, lived in Sutton, dur- ing the life of her first husband, and until after her second marriage. She then lived in Grafton until the death of her second husband. And after his death she went to Worcester, to live with her son. Benjamin sold his paternal estate m Grafton in 1795, and in the year 1804 removed to Weathersfield, Vermont and after residing there seven or eight years, returned to Mass., and settled in Barre. He remained in Barre a few years, and then went back to Grafton.

The children of Moses Leland were all born in Sutton, Mass., and Solomon Moses, Timothy, Abigail, and Prudence remained there during their lives. Elizabeth remained there for many years, but she finally went to Charlton Mass. Jacob went among the first settlers to Croyden, New Hampshire, and after remaining there several years, removed to Sempronins, in the county of Cayuga, in the state of New York. Mary went to Douglass, soon after her marriage. After several years residence there, she returned to Sutton with her family. • She then went to New Salem, Mass., and remained there until the death of her husband. She finally removed to Northbridge, where she died. Sarah lived in Sutton, till 1785, and then removed to Barre, Mass.

James Leland"s children were all born m Grafton, Mass. His oldest son, James, lived in Sherburne, Mass., from 1709 to 1775. He went to Ashfield, Mass. in 1775 or 1776. He remained in Ashfield, for twenty, or twenty-five years. He then removed to the Western part of New York, and settled in

36 JAMES LELAJJD'S POSTERITY.

Hopewell, in the comity of Ontario. Lydia married in Grafton, but went to Conway, Mass. Lucy married in Conway, and removed to Phelps, Ontario county, New York. Abigail married in Grafton, and remained there during the life of her first husband. On her second marriage, she went to Sutton, and continued there as long as she lived. Martha married in Conway, and settled there. Anna married and settled in Ashfield. Beulah married in Conway, and removed to Phelps, New York.

The Rev. John Leland, better known in the sections of the country where he resided, as Elder Leland, Avas born in Grafton, Mass., May 14th, 1754. He was connected with Henry Leland, the progenitor of all of the name in America, by a line of descent through Ebenezer Leland of )Sherburne, James Leland of Grafton, Mass., and James Leland of Phelps, N. Y. He possessed a strong native vigor of intellect, and a genius purely original.

He spent his early years with his father, who could afford his son no other edu- cational advantages, than those at that time furnished by the common schools of his native town. As John had a natural thirst for knowledge, he made the most of such facilities as were within his reach, and in its attainment and in mental discipline, he far excelled most of those of equal opportunities with himself.

At the age of eighteen years, his mind became deeply impressed upon the subject of religion ; and after passing through various exercises — at one time being greatly depressed, and at another taking courage to persevere, during a period of about two years ; he at length became settled, in the hope that he had " passed from death unto life," and made a public profession of his faith, by being baptized in June, 1774.

In connection with the other religious exercises of this period, Mr. Leland had the conviction, that it was his duty to preach the gospel ; and his public ministry may be said to have commenced simultaneously with his Christian experience. As opportunities presented, in his own and adjoining towns, he immediately commenced " preaching the word," in which favorite employment he continued with great success, during sixty-seven years.

At the age of twenty-two, Mr. L. married, and with his wife, moved to Vir- ginia, where he resided fourteen years. While a resident of Virginia, he trav- elled extensively in that and the adjoining states, and fulfilled the duties of his calling with great fidelity and success. During his sojourn there, he baptized precisely seven hundred persons, and left behind him. two churches, gathered under his ministry; one containing two hundred, and the other three hundred members.

On his return to New England, he took up his abode in Cheshire, Mass., where he spent the most of the remainder of his life, " laboring to promote pi- ety, and vindicate the civil and religious rights of all men;" and kw, if any, have ever labored more sincerely, and it may not be too much to say, more suc- cessfully, for the promotion of these objects, than did John Leland. He ful- filled, with uncommon fidelity, a pledge he had publicly made; that " as long as he could move his tongue^ wield a pen, or heave a cry to heaven; when-

ever the rights of men, the hborty of consftencc. or the good of his country were invaded, by fraud or force, his feeble efforts should not lie dormant."

A truer or a more ajipropriate portrait of the hfe of Mr. L., earuiot be given, than has been drawn by the fuithful and disrriuiinating pen of the rornj)iler of his writings, " with additional sketches of his hfe," from Avhieh the following is an extract :

"To understand and api)reciate iIk; character of KIder Leiand, it is only necessary to read his writings, and to trace the operation of the principles and sentiments they contain, in the actions of his life. That his writings were a transcript of his mind and heart, none will deny, who knew him. The candor and openness, with which he ever avowed his sentiments, even when they sub- jected him to reproach and censure, are well known.

Conversing with a friend, on one occasion, he remarked, ' though I have se- crets which I would not reveal to you, or any one else, I have not a religious secret in the world.' The same frankness marked the expression of his polit- ical opinions. That his independence of mind, aided materially in supporting this character, will be evident, when we consider how many individuals there are, who dare not be honest ; who have not the moral courage to sustain them in a course which they feel to be right, and in the expression of sentiments which they inwardly approve. A remark of Elder Leiand on this subject, is suggested by these reflections : Though in a religious point of view, said he, self-dependence, (by which he meant the opposite of a Christian's trust in God,) is most pernicious and fatal in its tendency — yet, in worldly matters, it is one of the best qualities a man can possess.

Through a long life. Elder Leiand sustained with uniform consistency, the twofold character of the patriot and the Christian. For his religious creed, he acknowledged no directory but the Bible. He loved the pure, unadulterated word of truth, and as a minister of that word, zealous and faithful, he preached it as far as he was able, unmixed with the doctrines and commandments of men, 'not for fdtliy lucre, but of a ready mind.'

He was clear in exposition, happy in illustration, often powerful and elo- quent in appeals to the conscience and heart. He insisted, in absolute and un- (jualified terms, on the great fundamental truths of the gospel, the necessity of regeneration, faith and repentance. But on points not essential to salvation, though his opinions were no less firmly established, and he never shrunk from advocating them on proper occasions, yet he did not censure or denounce those who differed from him, nor exclude from fellowship as Christians any who gave evidence of a gracious change, whatever might be their peculiar doctrinal views. He never engaged in controversy; and whenever any of his published views were disputed, or commented upon, as was sometimes the case, with severity, he preferred to let the matter rest a little, and then give another thrust, as he expressed it, to the waste of time, repetitions; and tediousness of reviews and replies.

His political creed was based upon those sufficient truths of equality and of

38 JAIVIES LELAND'S POSTEEITY.

inherent and inalienable rights, recognised by the master spirits of the revolu- tion, as the principles for the support of which ' they pledged their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor.' As a politician, he was above the influence of any but sincere and patriotic motives. He was a statesman rather than a politician. He studied the fundamental principles of government, and drew his conclusions directly from them, without any intervening medium of self or party interests. He judged men by their measures, and measures by their adaptedness to secure that resultwhich he deemed the legitimate object of gov- ernment, the greatest good of the greatest number.

In his attachment to the administration of Jefferson, Madison, Jackson and Van Buren, he felt that he was contending for the same principles of democ- racy that nerved the arms, and strengthened the hands of the whigs of '76.

His feelings upon the subject of slavery, may be gathered from the fact that during his fourteen years residence in Virginia, he never owned a slave, as well as from his remarks in the ' Virginia Chronicle,' and from the resolution offiered by him, when a member of the Baptist General Committee, and passed by them in 1789, in the following words: Resolved, that Slavery is a violent deprivation of the rights of nature, and inconsistent with a republican gov- ernment, and we therefore recommend to our brethen to make use of every legal measure to extirpate this horrid evil from the land, and pray Almighty God that our honorable legislature may have it in their power to proclaim the great jubilee, consistent with the principles of good policy. The great ob- ject (next in importance to his mission as a preacher of Christ, for which he seemed to have been raised up by a special Providence,) was to promote the establishment of religious liberty in the United States. His efforts, perhaps, contributed as much as those of any other man to the overthrow of ecclesias- tical tyranny in Virginia, the State of his adoption, and exerted a beneficial influence, though less successful, towards the promotion of the same end, in the State of his nativity. In the former, in the years 1786-7-8, we find his name in the doings of the Baptist general committee, with which he stood connected as messenger to the general assembly appointed to draft and present memorials respecting the ' incorporating act, the application of the glebe lands to public use,' &c.

Though the cause of religious freedom was the common cause of all dissent- ers, yet the Baptist, as a sect, took the lead in those active, energetic and per- severing measures, which at length prevailed in the establishment.

Speaking of his removal to New England, it is stated, 'as soon as he landed again on its shores, he commenced anew the warfare against religious intoler- ance, and m defence of the cause that had so signally triumphed in Virginia.' During his stay in New London, he published his ' rights of conscience ina- lienable,' and afterwards, from time to time, other works of the same character.

In Massachusetts religious liberty had struggled for existence, and found some advocates from the first settlement of the State, but was kept constantly shackled by certificate laws, and other expedients of ecclesiastical tyranny.

At length, intlio hoginninE^ of 1811, a decision by Judge Parsons, that no society not incorporated by law could claim even the pitiful privilege of drawiiifj baelc money, awakened the fears of the dissenters; :iiid a circular address, accom- panied by a petition to the li-gisiature, praying for a revision of the laws res- pecting puhlic worslii]>, Avas cirenlated through the State.

At the solicitation of the people of Cheshire, Mr. JiCland accepted a seat in the Legislature, lor the special purpose of aiding the measures petitioned for. The following extract from tlic speech of x\lr. L. in the Legislature of Mass., ill 1811, may serve to exhibit both his views and his manner of expressing them.

'According to a late decision of the beiirh iu the County of Cumberland, which it is presumed is to be a precedent for future decision, these non-incor- porated societies are nobody, can do nothing, and are never to be known, ex- cept in shearing time, when money is wanted to support teachers they never hear. And nil this must be done for the good of the State. One hundred and seventeen years ago, wearing long hair was considered the cryins: sin of the land. A convention was called, March ISth, 1091, in Boston, to prevent it. After a long expostulation, the committee close thus : —

"If any man will now presume to wear long hair, -let him know that Cod and man witnesseth against him." Our pious ancestors were for bobbing the hair, for the good of the colony, but now. Sir, not the hair, but the purses must be bobbed for the good of the State. The petitioners pray for the right of go- ing to heaven in that way which they believe is most direct ; and shall this be denied them ? Must they be obliged to pay legal toll, for walking the King's highway, which he has made free for all? Is not this a greater subor- dination, than to sail under British licenses, or to pay three pence on every pound of tea ?

In Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Delaware, of the old colonies; and in Kentucky, Tennessee and Ohio, the new States; there has never been any legal establishment of religion, nor any assessment to sup- port Protestant Christianity for the good of the States ; and yet. Sir, these States have stood and flourished as well as Massachusetts.

Since the Revolution, all the old States, except two or three in New England, have established religious liberty upon its true foundation, and yet they are not sunk with earthquakes, or destroyed with fire and brimstone. Should the commonwealth, Mr. Speaker, proceed so far as to distribute all settlements and meeting-houses, which were procured by public taxes, among all the inhabit- ants, without regard to denomination, it is probable that the outcry of sacrilege, profanity, and infidelity would be echoed around ; and yet, Sir, all this has been done, in a State which has given birth to a Henry, a Washington, a Jef- ferson and a Madison ; each of whom contributed his aid to ellect the grand event, for which event the Presbyterians prayed and joined.

It is there believed,Sir, that God hates robbery for burnt offerings ; and ought not Massachusetts to pay a decent respect to the voice of fifteen of her sister

40 JAMES LELAIvD'S POSTERITY.

States ! We should imagine that a laudable pride would prevent any one re- ligious society, from forcing another to pay her laborers, and that the same principle would not admit a public teacher to take money collected by dis- traint, from those who did not hear him; but in this particular, we find that religion is made a covert, to do that at which common honesty blushes ! Sir, it is not to disrobe towns of their corporate powers; no, let them go to heaven in such turnpike roads, and pay legal toll at every ministerial gate, which they choose. And what can they wish for more ?

Accordmg to our best judgment, we cannot pay legal taxes for religious services descending even to the grade of chaplain for the Legislature. It is disrobing Christianity of her virgin beauty, turning the churches of Christ into creatures of State, and metamorphosing Gospel Ambassadors into State pen- sioners.

If my information be correct, the town of Boston has enjoyed the liberty which we plead for, more than one hundred years, yet the inhabitants increase and are virtuous. Fifteen States, now in the Union, have all that we ask for; and is religion demolished in these Slates 7

Mr. Speaker, let gentlemen turn their eyes to the religious magazines pub- lished in this State, by those who plead for la w-regulated religion, and they will find that while editors in one page plead for the old firm of Moses and Aaron — Ruler and Priest, — where the language is, you comb my hair and I'll scratch your elbows — you make laws to support me, and I'll persuade the people to obey you, — in the next page they will narrate the ' wonderful works of God,' in those States wherein there are no religious laws, and indeed, wherein the inliabitants know that religious establishments and assessments serve only to make one part of the community fools, and the other hypocrites, to support fraud, superstition, and violence on the earth. Let Christianit}^ stand upon its own basis, it is the greatest blessing that ever was among men ; but incorporate it into the. civil compact, and it becomes the mother of all cru- elties."

We have already spoken of 5ir. Leland's narrow educational advantages in early life; but, limited as they were, through untiring and diligent industry, and close observation of men and things, he attained a mental culture, and an amount of knowledge that would have done credit to one favored v/ith the ad- vantages of the University. This is evident from his writings, as a whole, while some portions of them exhibit a logical acuteness, a literary discrimina- tion, and an elegance of diction, which fully sustain the estimate we have put upon his character as a scholar. Indeed, as a man of learning, although self- taught, he had few equals, and fewer superiors in the age in which he lived. It must, we think, be admitted by those at all conversant with his writings, that he was not deficient in poetical genius. Some pieces from his pen, have been classed, by competent judges, among the choicest specimens of devotional poetry. As an example, might be mentioned the evening hymn, commencing — " The day is past and gone." Also the lines on death, beginning — '' How

solemn the sight we l>chol(l !'' and others of ciiual merit, which cannot ho no- ticed in this liasty sketcli.

The Rev. Joiin lichmd died Jan. 1 1th, 1811. In the language of the wri- ter before quoted, "llo was a man eminent above many, for piety and use- fulness, whose name is coimected with all that is pure in patricjtism, lovely in social and domestic virtues; philanthropic in feeling and action, arduous, dis- interested, and self-denying in the labors of the ministerial calling: one wh(»se place in society, in the church, in the rakiisofthe ministry, will not soon be filled in the hearts of those who knew him — never.

He died as he li;id lived, a witness for the truth, testifying witli his last l)n>alh the value of that religion, and that only, which has its seat in the heart. His life had born unostentatious; his aspirations after worldly honors ever low and feeble; his humility and sense of dependence on God, deep felt and abiding, — thus he died.

" Being asked, very near his end, what were his views of the future, be ex- claimed, with both hands extended upwards, and a smile on his countenance never to be forgotten, ' My prospects of heaven are clear.' He seemed al- ready to feel the everlasting rest laying its sweet influences over his soid, and bearing it up, taking away the sting of death.'"

His remains lie beside those of his wife in Cheshire, and a '■ simple obelisk of blue marble, commemorative of both., mark their common resting place On its west side is inscribed the epitaph prepared by himself, some years be- fore his death. "Here lies the body of the Rev. John Leland, of Cheshire, who labored 07 years to promote piety, and vindicate the civil and religious rights of all men. He died January 1 Ith, 1841, aged SO years and 8 months."

On the north side is the following: " Sarah, consort of Rev. John Leland. She died October 5th, 1837, aged 84 years." On the south: "This monu- ment was erected by the children of the deceased, to point out the resting place of their revered parents."

We shall close this sketch, M'ith the following extract from his funeral ser- mon, by the Rev. John Alden :

'• Great and good man, he is gone ! The tender and affectionate father, the* kind husband, the wise counsellor, emphatically the peace-maker, the social warm-hearted friend, the sage, patriot, the lover of sound doctrine, the elo- quent and unusually successful minister of Christ, is no more ! Is no more / He still lives, we doubt not. where his intellect has found congenial spirits, and a wider range in the upper empire of Jehovah. He lives below in the affections of thousands, and his works do follow him. To live like him is, to mourn over the sins of earth, and hold up God's everlasting truth to a dying world. To die like him, is to stand on the confines of earth, looking off into eternity, and depart with the prospect of heaven clear. To rest at last like him, is, we doubt not. to rest forever in the paradise of God."

The children of Hamiah Lei and, who married Joseph Rice, were all iDorn in Grafton. Those of them, that were married, settled in Grafton, Sutton and Conway, Mass. Sarah in Grafton, Hannah, Mary and Daniel in Sutton. Elizabeth, Israel, Timothy and Caleb, in Conway; and they all remained through life where they first settled, except Caleb, who removed from Con- way to Phelps, New York.

The ten children of Thankful Leland, who married Lemuel Powers, were horn in Northbridge or Grafton. Deliverance remained in Northbridge. Eze- kiel, Lydia, Prudence, David, Sarah, Thankful, Mary and Samuel, went to Croydon, N. H., and all except Thankful, remained there as long as they lived. Thankful married and settled in Charlestown, N. H., and Lemuel in Stillwa- ter, New York.

The three children of Thomas, were bom in Sutton. Silence went to Athol, Mass.. and remained there through life. Margaret did not leave Sutton. Thomas was a soldier, in the war of the Revolution ; and after the peace, he went from Sutton to Schroon, in the northern part of the State of New York, where he resided several years. He afterwards lived in other places in the western part of New York. For some ^^ears before his death, he lived with his children in the northern part of the State of Ohio.

The eleven children of Phineas, v/ere born upon the homestead estate, which he received from his father, situated upon the Blackstone River, in Grafton. Lydia married and died young, in Grafton. Phineas took the paternal estate, and remained upon it, for life. Eleazer first settled in Croydon, N. H., but soon returned to Grafton, where he spent the rest of his days. He was for many years one of the selectmen of Grafton, and in 1807, represented the town in the General Court. Joseph was in the army during a great part of the Rev- olutionary war. He commenced his service a private, or non-commissioned officer, and left the army a Lieutenant. After peace was established, he set- tled in Saco, Mame. During the whole active period of his life, he was con- nected in business there as a merchant. He was a judicious and discreet man; highly respected and much esteemed among the people of his acquain- tance. He was once a Senator in the Legislature of Massachusetts. He was on one or more occasions, an unsuccessful candidate for a seat in Congress ; but as, ui the political divisions of his day, he belonged to the minor party in his town and county, he could not expect often to be a successful candidate for po- litical honors. He v/as a man of quiet, domestic habits, and sustained an ir- reproachable moral character.

David W., never left Grafton. Thomas married young. He remained in Grafton three or four years after his marriage. He then went to Conway, Mass.; but after a residence of one or two years, he returned to Grafton. < He continued in Grafton till 1795, when he removed to Chester, Vermont, and settled in a wil- derness part of the town. The hardships and privations of new country life were his lot for several years; but by great effort and constant labor, in the course '• of a few years, he reclaimed from its native wildness a well cultivated farm.

Jmries continued to live in Hardwick or Dana, till 1817, when he rejnoved to (Jlsej^o, county of Otsego, New York ; and alter a lew years residence there, went to Sprinu^ficld in the same county, where he continued niiiii tlic finii- of" his death. Moses never left the place of his nativity. Their decendants, as appears hy tlu; foregoing table, are scattered into man}' different parts of the country.

S([nire Whipple is descended from Henry Leland, the conmion ancestor of iheLeland lannly iu America, throuj^h llbenezcr Leland of Shnrhurnc. James Leland and Jerusha Leland. who married Jacob Whipple of (irafton ; James AVhipple of Hardwick, Mass.. anil James Whipi)le of f^])ringlield, New York. He was born in Hardwick, Masr., Septend^er I6th, 1S04. His father was a farmer, and he labored upon the farm during the early period of his life. From the age of eight to thirteen, lie attended the common district school, in Hardwick, about six months each year, and labored the other six, part of the time in a cotton factory, and part upon the farm. In 1817, his father removed to Otsego county. New York, and his son Squire continued to reside with him n])on the farm, for the five succeeding years; attending school about three months each year, and laboring nine. At the age of eighteen or nineteen, he taught school a short time. From 1822 to 1829, he attended Academical schools three or four months each year, and was employed either in private study or agricultural and mechanical labor the other eight or nine. "With the aid of these slender advantages for preparation, he was enabled in the year 1829, to enter the senior class in Union College, and at the expiration of the year to receive the degree of A. B. After he left college, he Avas employed be- tween one and two years, as an assistant engineer, upon the Baltimore and Ohio rail-road. He then commenced manufacturing mathematical instruments, to which business he has devoted a part of his time ever since, and has construc- ted a considerable number of valuable instruments. In 1839 or 1840, he de- signed the plan of a boat scale, for the Erie Canal Enlargement, and subse- cpiently built a scale by contract at Utica, calculated to weigh drauglits of three or lour hundred tons; a work which has attracted a good deal of notice, and excited considerable admiration, as a machine possessing the essential requisites of strength, durability, convenience, simplicity and cheapness, to a degree scarcely to be exceeded. This work has served as a model for several others of the kind.

About the same time, he designed tlu^ plan of an iron fnissed bridge, for which letters patent were obtained, and on which plan some six or eight bridges of from 70 to 100 feet have been built over the Erie Canal enlargement. Be- tween 1840 and 1847, he conducted several preliminary surveys for canals and rail-roads, in New York and other States.

In 184G and 1S47, he prepared and published a small elementary and practical work, on the subject of bridge building. His work has received Mattering no-

tices from distinguished engineers, and it is unquestionably a production of much merit. It is thus noticed in an article published in the American Rail- R-oad Journal, printed in Philadelphia, under date of May 8th, 1847.

"A treatise upon the construction of bridges, has lately been published, from the pen of S. Whipple, Esquire, C. E., of Utica, New York.

Mr. Whipple has given much time and attention to this important subject; and as he is a gentleman of high attainments, both scientific and practical,and warmly devoted to mechanical pursuits, his treatise is prepared in a very able manner, and will, no doubt, be productive of much good.

There is no branch of engineering so little understood by men of the pro- fession, as that of the proper construction of bridges. This is evident from the diversity of plans adopted upon public works, which are as various almost as the works themselves^a state of things somewhat remarkable, as there cannot well be more than one best plan for bridges of the same dimensions and character, and which can only be accounted for by a want of that com- plete knowledge of the subject requisite for forming a correct judgement. This want, Mr Whipple aims to supply, and he begins at the right place, viz : at the foundation, by stating clearly the principles which should govern, and thence proceeding to the application of those principles in the arrangement of plans suited to various circumstances.

The treatise of Mr Whipple is drawn up in that plain and concise manner which indicates a clear and accurate mind, imbued with a very thorough knowledge of the subject. It is a work highly creditable to the profession, and will do honor to it at home and abroad. His illustrations and application of mechanical principles are brought as much as possible within the compre- hension of all. He promises, if his present treatise meets with sufficient encouragement, to follow it by another of far more strictly practical character, giving full details of plans suited to different circumstances and localities. We trust he will be so far encouraged in his present effort, as to induce him to persevere until he has accomplished all that he proposes upon the subject on which he is engaged.

He is at present, (1849,) almost exclusively engaged in the construction of bridges of different dimensions, both of wood and iron, (principally of iron.) for rail-roads and common roads, in various parts of New York.

For more than thirty years past, he has discarded the use of animal food of all kinds, except the products of the dairy ; mainly from a long cherished aversion to violence and cruelty to dumb creatures. And about the year 1847, he prepared and published a small work entitled, ' The way to happiness, be- ing an essay on the motives to human actions, and the fundamental principles of morality :' in which he defends, and recommends with great ability, his pe- culiar system of diet, as being favorable to good health, rational economy and sound morality.

Jonathan Morse was among the first settlers upon the Androscoggin river, in the county of Oxford, Maine. His sister Mary and Silence, soon after set- tled near him.

Moses Leland Morse, son of Moody Morse and Abigail Leland, was born in Sutton, Mass., May 19th, 1781. His father and mother both died before he was twelve years of age. He resided upon a farm until the age of fourteen, attending school two or three months each year and laboring nine or ten. He served an apprenticeship as a watchmaker and goldsmith, from fourteen to twenty-one. After he became free, he carried on business as a watchmaker and goldsmith for several years, part of the time in Keene, N. H., and part of the time in Cambridge, Mass. He was married in 1804. His wife was a sis- ter of the late Judge Sibley of Detroit, Mich. He at an early age became dis- tinguished as a machinist. In 1813 or 1814, he invented a beautiful and useful instrument for weighing gold, silver and electuaries, which he called a pendu- lum scale. It was an ornamental and convenient article for counting rooms, so long as gold was circulated by weight. He received for this invention a patent i from the government of the United States. He also in the year 1814, invented a machine for making pins, for which he likewise received a patent. This machine would draw the wire, cut, point, head and drop sixty pins in a minute. It was the first of the kind put in operation in the United States. He sold his machine with the patent right. The persons who purchased them, after making some improvements upon the machine, put it in operation in England. And it is said to be the basis on which most of the pin manufactories now in operation in England, are founded. Mr. Morse was employed for several years, as an agent in an extensive manufacturing establishment, owned by Asa Waters, Esq., in Milbury. He finally became connected in a large cutlery estab- lishment in Worcester, Avhere he died, on the second day of September 1831. He was a truly pious and good man. And in an article in the Massachusetts Spy, a newspaper printed in Worcester, under date of September 7th, 1831, the following just tribute was paid to his worth : — " Deacon Morse was a man of

JAMES LKLAND'S POS'TOIUTY. 'j'9

great mcchaiiioul ini^cnuity, to whom the country is indobtod for several useful inventions, ilo was the projector, and to tlir time of his death, the principal manager of the extensive cutlery estahhshnient in this town. I If was an af- fectionate iuisl)and, a kind father, a faithful friend, an exemj>lary and valuable citizen and rneelc and pious christiim. Few men in his situation in life, would be more mis.sed, and the void which he has left in the circle in which he moved, will not he readily nor easily supplied."

Prudence Morse married in K(>ene, N. II., and resided there with her hus- )and several years. They then removed to Wilton, Maine^ and from AVilton to Bloom field, where she died.

Charles Morse, son of Moody Morse and Abigail licland, has his descent "rom Henry Leland, the common ancestor of the Leland family in America, through Mbenezer Leland of KSherlnune, James Leland of G'rafton, Moses Leland and Abigail Leland of Sutton, Mass. lie was born in Sutton, Mass., October 27, 1785, where he lived till he was fifteen years old. At an early age he was deprived ol kindly parental intluences — always so powerful in the developc- ment of character — by the decease of both father and mother. His father, Moody Morse, had by his own industry, acquired a moderate competence, which was not sullicient to procure for his children more than the ordinary means of common school education. It is well known that these means wereexceedinsly imited at that early day. The death of JMoody Morse and wife, was followed 3y the separation of their family. Charles went to live with Esquire King of Sutton, a wealthy farmer and estimable citizen. Having received from nature excellent parts and a good temper, he grew into favor with his aged patron, who was glad to impart to him those lessons Avhich he had gathered from a long experience. This was an interesting period of his life. He now came to realize the fact that he must depend upon himself, that he had no arm to lean upon for assistance, and that the only inheritance he could claim was a char- acter of undoubted honor and integrity. The circumstances of his situation induced those habits of thought and action, which in after life ripened into traits of character, giving him the power to plan wisely and to execute successfully. It was also during this period, ere the etfervescence of boyish passions had sub- sided, that youthful vigor prompted him to a rash act which entailed its etlects upon his subsequent life. It was attempting to do at mowing, the work of a man of twenty-five, while he had yet attained to only half that age. He was unable to do the least labor for two years and a half, and he probably never recovered entirely from the shock given to his constitution. A change of cli- mate was recommended. A new country would probably aflect him favorably. He accordingly accompanied his brother Jonathan on his return to the new home he had formed for himself among the forests of Maine, in what is now called Dixfield. The journey by water, and the fresh invigorating influences of -forest life, soon imparted that strength which he sought. He sulfered the vicissitudes and deprivations not unusual in a ncAvly settled country; but by his perseverance and integrity, he succeeded in gaining the confidence and esteem of

80

JAJMES LELAM)'S POSTEEITY.

the community in which he hved. In 1809, he took up his residence in Wilton, where he resided until his death. His cast of mind fitted him for directing in the affairs of men, and he became a highly esteemed and influential citizen, enjoying that popularity which is not sought after, but which follows from a just appreciation of moral and intellectual worth, directed by a sound and dis- criminating judgment and that practical wisdom called common sense. Hence, his counsel was sought after by his neighbors in their individual concerns, by the town in the management of its municipal affairs, by the militia as its com- mander, and b)^ his fellow citizens as county commissioner, and as repre- sentative and senator in the state legislature. In these several situations he acquitted himself with honor. His deportment was modest. His benevolence and sympathy embraced all the sons of affliction without distinction of sect, clime or color. But it was reserved for religion to chasten and polish a char- acter already estimable in the sight of man. In 1823 he made a public pro- fession of the Saviour, and soon after united with a branch of his visible church, and ever after maintained the character of an active and consistent Christian. Moses Leland Morse^ son of Charles Morse, was educated at Bowdoin College, Brunswick, Maine, and received his degree of A. B. in 1846.

Eight of the nine children of the Rev. John Leland — Betsy, Hannah B., Polly, John D., Sally, Lucy, Fanny, and Nancy— were born in the State of Virginia, and Lemuel, the other child, was born in Cheshire, Massachusetts.- They re- sided for several years in Cheshire, and were all married there. His descend- ants are numerous, and the above tabular account shows that they are widely scattered through the country.

John D. Leland, the eldest son, remained in Cheshire for several years after his marriage. He was a representative in the General Court of Massachusetts, from that town, in the year 1813. He afterwards removed to Deeriield, Oneida county, JXew York, and was for a considerable number of years clerk of the courts for that county; and he is now (1849) an opulent farmer and trader in the town of Deerfield.

Elijah Ford, the grandson of John Leland, born in 1805, is a lawyer of highly respectable standing at the bar, in the city of Buffalo, in the western part of the State of New York. He is descended from Henry Leland, the common ancestor of the Leland family in America, through Ebenezer Leland of Sherburne, James Leland of Grafton, Mass., James Leland of Phelps, N.Y., John Leland of Cheshire, Mass., and Polly Leland, who married Isaac Ford, and died in Hubberton, N. Y., in 1840.

lege the degree of A. I>. in I)<c. l'-^'2.'). After this, for more tlian a year, he edited a religious newspujx'r in Wiisliington City, i-ntitled the (Johnnhiaii Star. Oct. 34, 1827, lie was ordained and settled as pastor of the .Middle Street Baptist Ghnrcli, in Portsmouth, N. H. In 1S3I), he received from \Vat«;rville College, in Maine, the degree of A. M. in Nov. 1S32, he removed to Boston, and took the pastoral charge of the Baldwin Place Baptist Church. In 1835, he was elected one of tjic^ Corresponding Secretaries of the Baptist (Joiicral Convention of the Cuited Stales, but declined the appointment ; and in 1811, he was again elected to the same office, which he also declined. In 1810, he received from Brown University the honorary degree of Doctor of Divinity. July 1, 18 IS, lie resigned the ciiarge of the Baldwin Place Church, and Nov. 1, of the same year, was settled as pastor of the Howe Street Baptist Church, in Boston.

His time and strength for twenty-two years, have been mainly devoted to his duties as preacher and pastor: but he has sustained official relations to numerous benevolent societies, and performed a large amount of service on various Boards and Committees. He has also written considerably for the periodical press, edited several valuable works, and published some produc- tions of his own pen. With a constitution naturally feeble, he has ever labored under special disadvantages; but, by the blessing of Providence, he has been able to execute far more than, in the earlier part of his public life, his friends anticipated.

He has his descent from Henry Lelaiid, the common ancestor of the Leland race in America, through Ebenezer Leland, of Sherburne, James Leland, of Grafton, Thankful Leland, who married Lemuel Powers, of IVorthbridge, all in Massachusetts, Lydia Powers, who married Jonah Stow, of Croydon, and Peter Stow, of Newport, New Hampshire.

The descendants of DAVID POWERS, son of Lemuel Powers and Thank- ful Leland, and grandson of James Leland, born in Northbridge in the year 1750; married Miriam Ward and Naomi GJoldthwait, and died" in Croydon, N. H., in 1813.

114 JAMES LELAND'S POSTERITY.

Cyrus Poivers, son of the Rev. Lemuel Powers, was born in Croydon, New- Hampshire, and removed with his parents while a child to Stillwater, New York. He was married to his first wife, Lydia Stow, in 1802, and settled in Sempronius, Cayuga county, New York. In 1804, he was appointed a jus- tice of the peace, for that county, and in 1806, he received the appointment of judge of the county courts, which office he filled with ability for the period of about twenty-five years. For a part of that time he held the office of judge for the county of Cayuga and a part for the county of Tompkins. He married his second wife in 1826, and removed to Ijansing, in the county of Tompkins; and in 1839 he left Lansing for Kelloggsville. Cayuga county, where he died in 1841. He Vv'as a professor of religion and a member of the Episcopal Church.

Mrs. Abigail Fillmore was born in Stillwater, Saratoga county, N. Y., in 1798. She is descended from Henry Leland, the progenitor of all of the name in Amer- ica, through Ebenezer Leland of Sherburne, Mass., James Leland of Grafton, Mass.. Thankful Leland, who married Lemuel Powers of Northbridge, Mass., and Lemuel Powers of Stillwater, N. Y. Her father, the Rev. Lemuel Powers, died when she was about two y^ars of age. At an early period of her life, she removed, with her mother, from the place of her nativity, to Sempronius, in the county of Ca3?-uga and state of New York, where she continued to reside until the time of her marriage, in February, 1826. She then went with her husband to Aurora in the county of Erie. She continued to reside there until the spring of 1830, when she removed v/ith her husband to Buffalo. This has been her place of residence ever since. She was, however, with her husband in Albany during the year 1848 and part of 1849, while he was in the service of the state. She is a lady highly esteemed, for her intelligence, dignified manners, genteel deportment, and moral and christian virtues. She is a truly pious Christian and constant worshipper at the Unitarian Congre- gational Church in Buffalo. Her husband, the Hon. Millard Fillmore, is a distinguished lawyer and statesman. His case is among the remarkable instances in this hap^y country, of wonderful success in life, by means of unaided exertion and well directed personal effort. He was born, in what is now called Summer Hill, in the county of Cayuga and state of New York, on the 7th day of January, 1800. His father Nathaniel Fillmore, about two years after, removed to Sempronius, now Niles, in the same county, where he continued to reside until 1819, when he removed to the county of Erie, where he still lives. Millard remained in his father's family until he was fifteen years of age. His father was a moderate farmer and could afford his son no advantages of education beyond what the imperfect and ill-taught common schools of the county afforded. He served as an apprentice to the trade of a clothier and wool carder from the age of fifteen to nineteen, four or five months in Livingston county and the other portion of the time in Niles, During this

"NVilliiuu Freeman Cooper was born in Croydon, New Hampshire, on the twentietli day of September, 1802. He has his descent from Henry Leland, the common ancestor of the Leland race in America, throngh Ebenezer Leland of Sherbnrno, James l<cland of Crafton, Thankful Leland who married Lem- uel Powers of Northbridge, all in Massachusetts, and Mary Powers who mar- ried Sherman Cooper, of Croydon, New Hampshire. He is a physician and surgeon. He remained with his parents upon a small farm in Croydon until he was eighteen years of age. His parents had a large family and a small share of this world's goods. While he resided with them he attended the common district school two or three months each year, and labored upon the farm the other portion of the time. From the age of eighteen to twenty-two he was employed part of the time in study at the academy in Newport, New Hamp.shire, and tiie otlier part in teaching school to obtain money to defray the expense of his education. In 1824, at the age of twenty-two, he commenced his professional studies with Dr. Elijah Cooper, a surgeon and physician of con- siderable eminence in Newport. He pursued his studies with Dr. Cooper, and at the medical school in Bowdoin College, Brunswick, ]\Iaine, until 1S2G, when he received from that college a degree of M. D. He went into practice as a physician and surgeon in 182(3, in Newport, and continued thereabout one year. In 1827 he removed to Kelloggsville, in the county of Cayuga and state of New York, and commenced business therein his profession among entire stran- gers. His practice was small at first, but in the course of a few years it became extensive and lucrative, and he is now, in 1S50, cue of the most celebrated sur- geons in the western part of New York.

Prudence Leiand, of this branch of the family, was born in Croydon, N. H. When she was about one year old, her parrnts removed from Croy- don to Grafton, Mass. She resided with her parents in Grafton until her marriage, in 1799. She lived with her husband, Gregory Stone, in Weath- ersfield, Vt., from 1799 to 1810, the time of his death. She then returned to Grafton, Mass. She has since resided a part of the time in Grafton, a part in Milbury, and part in Westborough. where she now resides. Her hus- band was a highly respectable man. He had a good common education, and was employed in teaching school during the winter season, for several years. Soon after he settled in Weathersfield, Vt., he was elected a captain in the militia, and in a short time a major. He was for a series of years a represen-

tative from the town of Weathersfield, in the Vermont legislature. He was a truly pious man and an exemplary member of the Methodist Episcopal church. His death caused deep lamentation in his family and among his neighbors, and the manner of his death was such as greatly to augment their grief While he was standing upon a bridge, over a small stream near his dwelling-house, at the time of an unusual flood of water, in that part of the country, a mill-dam, just above the bridge, was swept down by the force of thecurrent, by which the bridge on which he stood was carried away, and he fell amidst the foaming waters and crashing timbers, and perished. He was of the Leland family, and had his descent from Henry Leland, the common ancestor, through Ebenezer Leland of Sherburne, James Leland of Grafton, Jerusha Leland who married Jacob Whipple of Grafton, Jerusha Whipple who married David Haven of Framingham, and Hannah Haven who married Nahum Stone of Grafton.

Gregory D. Stone, son of Gregory Stone and Prudence Leland, was born in Weathersfield, Vt., in the year 1800. He was educated at Union College in Schenectady, N. Y., and received his degree of A. B. in the year 1823. He studied law, and was admitted to the bar in the state of Alabama. He commenced practice in Resselville, in the county of Franklin, in the northern part of that state, about the year 1825, and continued in practice there until the time of his death in 1838. He also held the office of judge of the orphan's court, for the county of Franklin, for about ten years.

John Leland, son of Eleazer, was born in Grafton, Mass., and remained there until the year 1804. During that year he was married, and settled upon a small farm in Springfield, in the state of Vermont. He remained there till 1813, when he returned to his native town, and he continued to re- side in Grafton and the neighboring towns of Shrewsbury and Westborough, until his death in 1834,

Sherman Leland, who is connected with Henry Leland, the progenitor of the Leland race in America, by a line of descent through Ebenezer Leland of Sherburne, James Leland, Phineas Leland, and Eleazer Leland of Grafton, Mass., was born in Grafton, on the twenty-ninth day of March, 1783. He remained in his father's family, upon a farm in Grafton, until he was over twenty years of age. He attended the common district schools from two to four months each year, and was employed the other portion of the time in agricultural or mechanical labor.

He conmienced practice in his profession, at Eastport, Me., about the first of January, ISIO. lb" was an entire stranger in that part of the country, but he soon obtained a good share of business. He was admitted in due course attorney and counsellor of the supreme court. In July, ISIO, he was elected an ensign in the militia, and m February, ISll, a lieutenant. On the second day of the same month he was appointed a justice of the peace for the county of Washington, then a part of Massachusetts, and on the eleventh of October, of that year, he was appointed prosecuting attorney for the commonwealth in the county of Washington. He was married October thirteenth, 1811. He was representative from the town of Eastport in the Massachusetts' legislature for the year 1812. In December, 1812, he was appointed first lieutenant in a corps of volunteer troops, raised under the authority of the United States, and served in the army of the United States, under that appomtment, upon the eastern frontier until April, 1813. On the second of AprU, 1813, he received the appointment of captain in the 31th regiment of intantry, in the army of the United States, and continued in the United States' service, under that appointment, until the fifth of June, 1814. From December, 1813, to May, 1814, he had command of the military posts at Eastport and Robbuston, Mass. In June, 1814, he resigned his oflice in the army, and resumed the practice in his profession. Soon after the capture of Eastport by the British forces, in July, 1814, he removed from that part of the country, and settled in Roxbury, Mass. In the beginning of the year 1815, he opened an ofiice in Boston, and again entered upon the duties of his profession in the counties of Suffolk and Norfolk. He has ever since been in practice in those two counties, but for the last five or six years, he has declined all business which required his attendance in court. He was a representative from the town of Roxbury in the legislature of Massachusetts, for the years 1818, 1819, 1820, and 1821. He was also a delegate from Roxbury in the convention for a revision of the constitution in 1820, on the separation of Maine from Massachusetts; and while he was a member of the house of representatives in 1820, he was one of the committee raised to consider the subject of the separation of Maine from Massachusetts. He was also, during the same year, one of the managers chosen by the house to

conduct the prosecution for the impeachment of the Hon. James Prescott, judge of probate for the county of Middlesex. For the year 1821 he was chairman of the committee on elections. He was a member of the senate of Massachusetts from the county of Norfolk for the years 1823 and 1824, and during the tem- porarjr absence of the Hon. Nathaniel Silsbee, the president, he was elected president, pro-tem. During both years of his service in the senate, he was chairman of the committee on new trials. This committee had charge of all the matters which are now committed in Massachusetts to the committee on the judiciary, and the committee on matters of probate and chancery. He was again a member of the house of representatives from Roxbury for the year 1825, and was chairman of the committee on the judiciary. He was also appointed a member of a joint committee raised to sit during the recess of the legislature, to investigate the concerns of the state prison, and report such re- form in the government of that institution as might be found necessary. In 1824 he was a candidate for representative in congress for the Norfolk con- gressional district in Massachusetts. The Hon. John Bailey was his competi- tor, and after five or six animated contests at the polls, Mr. Bailey was elected by a small majority. In 1826, the government of Harvard University con- fered upon him the honorary degree of Master of Arts. On the 29th of June, 1827, he was appointed a master in chancery for the county of Norfolk, which office he held for eight successive years. On the twelfth of May, 1828, he was appointed an inspector of the state prison, and continued to hold the ofiice under three successive appointments for twelve years. He was again a member of the senate for the county of Norfolk for the years 1828 and 1829, and was president of the senate for the year 1828, and chairman of the com- mittee on the judiciary for the year 1829. On the 26th day of January, 1830, he was appointed judge of the court of probate for the county of Norfolk. He accepted the appointment and immediately commenced discharging the duties of the ofiice. He has continued to hold the office ever since, being a period of more than twenty years. In April, 1837. he was appointed a justice of the peace for all the counties in the commonwealth. He made the most of the small advantages which he had for education preparatory to his professional studies, but his chief reliance for knowledge in science, literature and law, has been upon his own unaided exertions, made both before and since his admis- sion to the bar. He has on no occasion within the last nineteen years, used any thing as a beverage but cold water, and for the last fifteen years he has abstained from the use of all kinds of animal food, except milk, butter and cheese, and he has now, in his sixty-seventh year, as vigorous health as he had at forty-five: for the last eighteen years he has been exempt from all the common diseases of life.

Edwin S. Leland, son of Sherman Leland. was born at Dennysville, a place near Eastport. Me., the 28th day of August, 1812. He was with his parents in Eastport until he was two years of age, when they left that place, and soon

The children of Joseph Leland were all born in Scarborough, or Saco, Maine. Sarah, after her first marriage in 1812, resided with her husband Abel Boynton a short time in Bath, Me. He was a graduate of Harvard University of the class of 1804, and a lawyer by profession. In 1814 or 1815 he began to be afflicted with an incurable disease, which caused his death in 1817, He spent most of the last two or three years of his life in the West Indies, and in jour- neying in the southern and south-western states, in the vain hope of recovering his health. During his absence she resided in her father's family in Saco, And after the death of her first husband she remained with her parents until her second marriage in 1826 or 1827. She resided with her second husband, Hon. Edmund Parker, in Amherst, N. H., for about ten years after their marriage. They then removed to Nashua, N. H., where they have continued to reside until the present time, January, 1850. Her second husband was educated at Dartmouth College, and graduated with the class of 1803. He is of the legal profession, and for many years he was in practice at the bar in the county of Hillsborough, N. H., and for several years held the office of judge of probate for that county. When he removed from Amherst to Nashua, he gave up his practice at the bar and his office of judge of probate, and took upon himself the agency of a large manufacturing estab- lishment. He continued in charge of this establishment until within a short time past, when he resigned the agency and retired from business. Mrs. Parker has no issue, she had two children by her first husband, and one by her second, but they all died in early infancy.

JAMES LELAKD'S POSTERITY.

Mahalea Leland was bom and married in Grafton, but soon after her mar- riage removed with her husband to Union, Conn., where she now resides.

Joseph Leland early in life left Grafton, Mass., his native place, for Charles- ton, S. C, in which city he has since continued, a period of about forty years, at the head of the extensive and well known house of Leland Brothers & Co. He is a successful merchant, and the firm of which he is head, is still amongst the largest commission houses in South Carolina. He is characterized by boldness of conception and energy in execution. His residence is at Grafton, Worcester county, Mass. He has his descent from Henry Leland, the com- mon ancestor of the Leland family in America, through Ebenezer Leland of Sherburne, Mass., James Leland, Phineas Leland and David W. Leland, of Grafton, Mass.

David W. Leland, before attaining his majority, also went to Charleston, S. C, and early became a partner in the house of Leland, Brothers & Co., and he is still a member of the company. He has been an extensive traveller, as well in Europe as America, and he is distinguished for acts of liberal private benevolence.

Gardner S. Leland, another member of this commercial house, died of consump- tion, at Nice, Italy, in 1822, whither he had gone for the benefit of his health.

Phineas W. Leland entered Brown University, Providence, R. L, in 1821, but left college before the expiration of the usual term of four years, and studied medicine with Dr. George C. Shattuck, of Boston. He received the degree of M. D., at Bowdoin College, Brunswick, Me., in 1826, and practised in his profession for some time at Medfield, Mass., but abandoned it in 1834, on receiv- ing the appointment of collector of the customs, for the district of Fall River ; which ofiice he held for twelve years. Dr. Leland was one of the senators for Bristol county, in the year 1843, and was elected president of the senate. His residence is at Fall River, Mass. He is connected with Henry Leland, the com- mon ancestor, by a line of descent through Ebenezer Leland of Sherburne, Mass., James Leland, Phineas Leland, and David W. Leland, of Grafton, Mass.

The descendants of THOMAS LELAND, son of Phineas Leland, and grandson of James Leland, of Grafton, Mass. ; born in Grafton, 176U ; mar- ried Lydia Sherman; and died at Chester, Vt, in 1830.

Ephraim S. Leland since the above table was prepared has removed from Sherburne, Yt., to the state of Wisconsin, where he now (1850) resides.

Thomas Leland, who had his descent from Henry Leland the common ancestor, through Ebenezer Leland of Sherburne, James Leland and Phineas Leland, of Grafton, Mass., and Thomas Leland of Chester, Yt., was born in Conway, Mass., in the year 1784. Before he was two years of age his parents left Conway and took him with them to Grafton, Mass., where they continued to "reside eight or ten years. In 1795 the whole family removed from Grafton to Chester, Yt. He remained with his parents in Che.ster, until he was about twenty years of age. In 1 804 he began his preparatory studies for college, and entered the freshman class of Middlebury college in 1805. After the usual term of four years he received his degree of A. B., from that institution in 1809. Immediately after he left college, he entered the office of the Hon. J. H. Hubbard, of Windsor, Yt. , as a student of law. He continued under the instruction of Mr. Hubbard for three years, and until he was admitted to the bar, in 1812. He commenced his professional life in Windsor, and continued in practice there for about twenty-two years. During this period, his time and attention were especially devoted to the duties of his profession, but he took some part in the municipal concerns of the town, and for one or two years was a representative in the state legislature. In the year 1834 he removed

Caleb W. Leland, son of Joshua Leland, was bprn in Chester, Vt. He remained in his father's family, upon a farm in his native town, until he was twenty-one years of age. After he left home, in 1810 or 1811, he was employed six or seven years by Abijah White, of W'atertown, Mass., a large provision dealer. After he left Mr. White, he was concerned as a dealer in provisions in Boston, Mass., seventeen or eighteen years. In 1836 or 1837 he removed from Boston to Charlestown, now Somcrvillc, Mass.. where he has ever since resided. Since he left Boston he has been engaged in farming. He has been, for several years one of the selectmen of Somerville, and for two or three years he represented the town in the general court. In all his business concerns he has been remarkably successful; and he is regarded as a man of wealth.

Ziba A. Leland is a lawyer of high standing at the bar, and extensive prac- tice in his profession, at Auburn, in the county of Cayuga, and state of New York. He is connected with Henry Leland, the common ancestor of the Le- land family in America, by a line of descent through Ebenezer Leland of Sherburne, James Leland and Phincas Leland of Grafton, JMass., and Joshua Leland of Chester, Vt. He was born in Chester, in the year 1791. and remained with his parents upon a farm in that town during his minority. From 1812 to 1815 he was employed in preparatory studies for college. In the summer of the latter year he entered the junior class of Vermont Univer- sity, Burlington, Vt., and continued a student in that institution for one year.

148

JAMES LELAND'S POSTEEITY.

At the expiration of the year he entered the senior class in Middlebury College, Vermont, and remained there for one term. He then left college, and com- menced the study of law in Schenectady, N. Y. He continued a student there until the fall of 1817, when he removed to Utica, N. Y., and continued his legal studies there until January, 1820, when he was admitted to practice as an attorney of the supreme court. In the spring of 1820, he commenced practice in his profession at Owego, in the county of Tioga, and state of New York. He continued in practice there until November, 1822, when he removed to Bath, in the county of Steuben, N. Y., where he continued to attend to the duties of his profession, until May, 1845, when he removed to Auburn, N. Y., where he now resides. He held the office of first judge of the county of Steu- ben, being the presiding judge of the court of common pleas, from 1838 to 1843. He was a representative in the legislature of New York, from the county of Steuben, under two annual elections, for the years 1842 and 1843. During the first year he was at the head of the standing committee on rail- roads; and during the second, at the head of the committee on banks and insurance. His talents and information gave him a commanding influence in the house.

Thomas J.Leland, son of Joshua Leland, was bom in Chester, Yt, and resided with his parents in that town, during his minority. Soon after he attained the age of twenty-one he commenced business as a provision dealer in Boston, Mass. He resides in Somerville, Mass., and for about fifteen years past he has been a member of a mercantile house in Boston, extensively concerned in the provision business.

Benjamin F. Leland, son of Joshua Leland, was born and brought up in Chester, Vt. After he was of age he resided several years in Boston, Mass., He then went to the state of Ilhnois, and after remaining there a few years, settled in Lowell, in the county of Dodge, state of Wisconsin, where he now resides. He is a farmer and trader.

Isaac Leland. son of Isaac, and grandson of Ebenezer, was born in Holliston Mass., married, and resided there, till about the year 1772, when he removed with his family to Jaffrey, N. H. He served as a soldier in the Revolutionary army, in 177G and 1777, and was killed in battle near New York city, in 1777. His children, John, Hannah, Isaac, IMary, Anna and Betsy, were born in Hol- liston, or Sherbune, Mass., and Lucy was born in Jaffrey. John was engaged as a mariner in the early part of his life. He married in 1790, and settled in Ipswich, Mass., where he carried on business as a tarfiner and currier, until 1800, when he removed to Londonderry. N. H., where he resided about fifteen years. He afterwards lived in Nashua and some other places in New Hamp- shire, for about twelve years. He removed to Charlestown, (now Somerville,) Mass.. about the year 1827, where he has resided for about twent)--two years.

Isaac, brother of John, when he was a young man M^ent from Jaffrey, N. H., to Dedham, Mass., and was employed for several years as a laborer among

152

ISAAC LELAM)'S POSTERITY.

the farmers in that town. He at length married and settled there. Deborah Fairbanks, whom he married, had before her marriage to him a son, by the name of Richard Williams. On his marriage he adopted her child and allowed him to take his name, and he has ever since been called Richard Leland. Isaac Leland continued to live in Dedham for twenty-five or thirty years. He then removed to Holdeii, Mass., where he has continued to reside till the present time, 1850. He has no issue.

Richard Leland, the adopted son of Isaac Leland, is about sixty years of age. He, with his v/ife and family of several children, is living in Dedham, Mass. His family, and that of the late Judge John D. Leland, of Missouri, are the only persons of the name of Leland, found in America, who are not connected by a regular line of descent with Henry Leland, the common ancestor of the Leland family in America.

Hannah Leland, Mary Leland, Anna Leland, and Lucy Leland, sisters of John and Isaac, are supposed to have been married in Jaffrey, N. H., and to have families of children living in that part of the country ; but to whom they were married, and the names and number of their children are unknown.

The descendants of JOHN LELAND, son of Isaac Leland and grandson of Isaac Leland; born in Holliston, Mass., in 1761; married Anna Annibal; and is now (18.511) living in Somerville, Mass.

It appears from the town records of Sherburne, Mass., that eight of the nine cliildreii of Aniariah Lehind were born in that town, and it is liighly probable that the other, Khoda, was also born there. Tiie children, with their parents, left Sherburne, between 1755 and 17G0, and settled in Providence, R. I., about the year 17G0. They all remained in Providence for seven or eight years. Abner, the oldest son, left Providence ahout the year 1770, and settled in Sut- ton, Mass., where he remained until his death in 17S3. His daughters, Susan- nah, Joanna, and Philena, married and settled in Sutton. His two sons, James and William, on the death of their lather, went to live with their grandfather, upon that part of the island of Mount Desert, in Maine, Mdiich afterwards received the corporate name of Eden. They married in Eden and continued to reside there, or in the neighboring town of Trenton, for many years; but at a late period of their lives they both removed to the county of Washington, Me., and remained there until their deaths. His other two daughters, Chloe and Nancy, married and settled in Providence, R. I., or its vicinity. Jesse, the second son of Amariah, established himself in Johnston, R. I., and continued there through life. His son Joseph, married in Johnston, and resided there for several years, and then removed to Barton, Yt., where he remained till his death. Daniel, his other son, settled in Killingly, Conn. His daughter, Luthana, lived and died in Attleborougii, Mass., and his two other daughters, Margery and Meriba, both married and died in Providence. Sibella, oldest daughter of Amariah Leland, lived, married and died in Smithfield, R. I. Betty resided with her husband in Sutton, Mass., and died there. Her two chil- dren were born in Sutton. Her son Ebenezer was never married. Her daughter Betsy was married in Sutton, March 29th, 179S, and she continued to reside there with her husband, Timothy Lamson, for eight years. They then lived together in Oxford, Mass., for four years, in Dudley, JMass., one year, and in Pomfret, Conn., three years. And she continued to reside in Pomfret, after the death of her husband in 1S14, for several years. In 1S27 she removed to Providence, R. I., where she has ever since remained. Chloe, the third

156

AMARIAH LELAND'S POSTERITY.

daughter of Amariah, was never married. She hved many years in Sutton, but died in Sherburne, Mass. Abigail hved with her husband in Sutton, Mass., and died there. Rhoda married in Rhode Island or Massachusetts, removed with her husband to Troy, N. Y., and died there.

Ezra Leland, third son of Amariah, settled with his father upon the island of Mount Desert, in Maine, about the year 1769. He continued to reside upon that part of the island, which constituted the town of Eden, until his death, Ebenezer Leland, youngest son of Amariah, remained in Providence until after the commencement of the American Revolution. He was in the military service of the United States during a very considerable part of the war. Soon after the peace in 1783, he established himself, with his father and brother Ezra, upon Mount Desert, in Maine, where he continued to reside until his death, in 1808. He was a sergeant in the army during the war, and a captain in the militia after the peace. His children were all born in Eden. His eldest daughter, Ursula, was married in Eden, and she has continued to reside there ever since. Her husband was a master mariner, and died several years ago. With few advantages for education, she has acquired a considerable fund of information. She is a woman of energy, prudence and discretion, and has an uncommon share of practical common sense. And she is a truly pious chris- tian, and a worthy member of the Baptist church.

Adfia, Ellen,

Mrs. Mary M. EUiott, the daughter of Timothy liamson and Betsy Boice, was born in Sutton, Mass., Jan. 3d, 1799. And she removed with her parents Avhile young, from Sutton to Oxford, from Oxford to Dudley, Mass.. and from Dudley to Pomfret, Conn., where she was married to Lemuel H. Elliott, April 28, 1817. She has her descent from Henry liclaud, the common ancestor of the Leland family in America, through Ebenczer Leland of Sherburne, Mass., Amariah Leland of Eden, Me., Betsy Leland, who married Benjamin Boice of Sutton, Mass., and Betsy Boice, who married Timothy I,amsoii of Pomfret, Conn. Soon after her marriage, she settled with her husband in Providence. R. I., where they have continued to reside to the present time, 1850. She has strong hopes that she experienced a saving conversion to

164

AJ»IARIAH LELAXD'S POSTERITY.

Christianity, in the spring of 1834. And during that year she made a public profession of religion, and became a member of the First Baptist Church, in Providence, R. I. : and her connection with that church has remained unbro- ken to the present time.

Her husband has holden the office of steward of Brown University, since May, 1826, and that of register of the same institution, since September, 1828; the lormer for nearly twenty-four years, and the latter for more than twenty- one. He has also been a pious and exemplary member of the First Baptist Church in Providence, R. I., for nearly seventeen years, and clerk of the same church for about fourteen years. And he has been elected, from year to year, a member of the board of directors of the Globe Bank, in Providence, since May, 1834, about sixteen years.

Their son, Albert Timothy Elliott, was educated at Brown L^niversity, and graduated with the class of 1839. Since he completed his collegiate course, he has been concerned in business as a member of a large commercial and man- ufacturing establishment, in Providence. R. I.

Ebenezer B. Lamson, brother of Mrs. Elliott, was born in Sutton, Mass. He was a printer, and worked at his trade in Worcester, Boston, and Ando- ver, Mass., and at the time of his death, was concerned as editor and pub- lisher of the newspaper called the Concord Gazette, printed at Concord, Mass. Her sister, Caroline M., was born in Sutton, Mass., and married in Providence, R. I. Her husband was a master mariner, and died in 1836. She has liA'^ed in Providence continually since her marriage. Her other sister, Elizabeth M., was born in Oxford, Mass., and married in Providence, R. I. Her husband, at the time of her marriage, was concerned in a manufacturing establishment, in Gloucester, R. I. He soon after changed his place of business to Thompson, Conn., where she resided with her husband for several years. They at length removed to Providence, R. I., but he continued his manufacturing business in Tnompson, Conn., in connection with a mercantile establishment in Provi- dence, R. I. He was extensively concerned as a manufacturer and commission merchant* at the time of his death, in 1847. She is now, 1850, a widow, residing in Providence, R. I.

The descendants of RHODA PRENTICE, daughter of Samuel Prentice and Abigail Leland, and granddaughter of Amariah Leland, of Eden, Me. ; born in Sulton, Mass., in 1797; married Erasmus Clark; and was living in Sturbridge, Mass., in 1847.

Tiie eight ehildrcn of Daniel Lcland were horn in Slicrhinnc Ma.s.s.. nj)ori the farm which belonged to their father and grandfather. Kaehel was mar- ried in Sherburne in 17;")7, and lived in .Medway, Mass., with her husband, Moses Adams; and as a widow, sixty-eight years.

Miriam was married in Sherburne, Mass., and remained there through life. Her husband, the J ion. Daniel \Vhitney, was a man of great inlluence and respectability. For years he was nnn h emj)Ioyed in the municipal concerns of the town. Me held many of the most important town ollices, and for many years rej)resented the town in the general court. He was also for several years a senator from the county of Middlesex, in the Massachusetts legislature, and for a number of years a member of the executive council.

Mary married her second cousin, and lived with her husband, Jonathan Leland, in Sherburne, Mass., about seventy years.

Aaron was an enterprising and successful farmer. He was particularly distinguished for the attention which he paid to the cultivation of fruit trees, at a period when this branch of agriculture was esteemed of little consequence. Many of the choice varieties of the apple and pear were brought into general notice by him. He was a pious Christian, and for more than lifty years, held the office of deacon of the Congregational church in Sherburne. And during the active part of his long life, he was frequently called upon to discharge the duties of the more important municipal oflices of the town. His first wile was his second cousin, and he lived upon a part of the estate in Sherburne, which belonged to his father and grandfather, the whole period of his life, being ninety-six years.

Moses was a respectable and industrious citizen of Sherburne, and passed the entire period of his life upon that part of the estate derived from his ancestors. This branch of the family is remarkable for the great age to which most of its members attained.

The seven children of Rachel Leland, were horn in Medway, Mass. Hepsi- bah, from about the time of her marriage in 1776, until the time of her death in 1842, had her place of residence in Orange, Mass. Rhoda lived a few years after her marriage, in the vicinity of Medway, Mass. She then went with her husband and children into that part of the state of New York which was then called the Genesee country, and she continued to reside in that region until her death, in 1S35. As will appear by the foregoing tabular account, her children are settled in that part of the country. Mary, from her marriage to her death, lived in Franklin, Mass. Rachel, on her marriage settled in Frank- lin, and remained there until the death of her husband. She has, within a few years past, lived in Medway, Mass. Ruth, since her first marriage, has resided in Franklin. Aaron married, lived and died in Medway, Mass.

About the year 1818, stwun navigation was by his agency first introduced into lioston harbor. A comi)any, <»(" wliich ho was the active member, about that time built the steamboat Massachusetts, and used her as a pleasure boat in the harbor of Boston. lie had a talent and taste for music, and for many years was a leading member of the Handel and Haydn Society in Boston. In religion he was of the Baptist faith, and the J3ible in his liands was not a sealed book. He was an estimable man, kind father and iiusband, and a good citizen. Augustus Leiand, eldest son of Lewis who has been for a few years past in California, was many years a merchant in South America.

Lewis, his second son, settled in Apalachicola, Flor., and was in business there as a merciiant for some considerable time before his death. Francis, at an early period of his life, went to South America, and continued to reside there until about eight years ago. Since he left South America, he has lived in the city of New York. Most of the other descendants of Lewis have continued to dwell in New York, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts.

Lydia Leiand, daughter of Aaron, married her cousin, John Leiand. After her marriage she lived with her husband in Part ridge field, now Peru, Roxbury, and Amherst, Mass., until her death in 1838.

Deborah Leiand, the other daughter of Aaron, from her marriage, in 1S08, till her death in 1817, lived with her husband in Worthington, Mass. Her two daughters soon after they were married settled in the western country, one in Michigan, the other in Indiana, where they now reside.

Joseph T. Leiand, the other son of Aaron, has never left the place of hisbirth.

Aaron L. Leiand, son of Joseph T. Leiand, and grandson of Aaron Leiand, was educated at Harvard University, and received his graduating degree of A. B. in 1835. He is of the medical profession. He was in practice in Boston, Mass., a short time, about the year 1838. Since that time he has been in prac- tice in the state of Michigan, part of the time in Pontiac, and part of the time in the city of Detroit, where he now resides.

Francis Leiand, brother of Aaron L. Avho has his descent from Henry Leiand, the common ancestor of the Leiand family, through Hopestill Leiand, Hopestill Leiand, Jr., Daniel Leiand, Aaron Lcland, and Joseph T. Leiand, of Sherburne, Mass., was born in Sherburne, December 2Gth, 1817. He remained with his parents in Sherburne until he was seventeen years of age. During this

Dexter Leland^ son of Eli and grandson of Moses, was educated at Brown University, and graduated with the class of 1822. He settled in Charleston, S. C. and died there in \8iT. Sally Leland, his sister, married for her second husband, Henry Leland, her fifth cousin, of the posterity of Timothy Leland.

Mrs. Mercy A. M. Walker, was born in Med way, Mass., February 18th, 1823. She is of the Leland family, and has her descent from Henry Leland, the common ancestor, through Hopestill Leland, Hopestill Leland, Jr., Daniel Leland, and Moses Leland, of Sherburne, Mass. Betsy Leland, who married Simon H. Mason and Horatio Mason, of Medway, Mass., and her mother was sister of the late Rev. Dr. Jasper Adams, who was president of Geneva College, N.Y., president of Charleston College, in Charleston, S. C, and pro- fessor of moral philosophy in the U. S. Military Academy, at West Point, N. Y. Her childhood and youth were spent almost entirely in her father's family in Medway. She was educated at the public and private schools in Medway, and in the neighboring town of Sherburne, and at the female seminary in Charles- town, Mass. In 1S42 she made a public profession of religion, and became a member of the first church in Medway, under the pastorate of the Rev. Sewall Harding. She was married in January, 1844. Her husband, Horace D. Walker, is of the clerical profession. He is a graduate of Yale College, of the class of 1841. He received his theological education under the instruction of the Rev. Dr. Ide, of Medway, and at the seminary in Bangor, Me., He was ordained pastor of the Evangelical church in East Abington, Mass., in February, 1844. His pastoral relation to that church has ever since contin- ued. And Mrs. Walker, since her marriage, has been a worthy member of the church under the charge of her husband.

Lois Leland, daughter of Moses Leland, married her third cousin, Micah Leland, of the posterity of Henry Leland.

Daniel Leland, son of Moses, lives upon the farm in Sherburne, Mass., which was owned and occupied by his father. He is a man of intelligence and business activity. At an early period of his life he took considerable interest in the military department of the state, and for several years held the office

Perry Daniels, son of John Daniels and Miriam Perry, married his fourth cousin Mary Leland, daughter of Jeremiah Leland, of the posterity of Timothy Leland.

John Miller, son of Obadiah Miller and Miriam Daniels, married his second cousin, Caroline Perry, daughter of Elijah Perry.

Mrs. Sarah P. Sanford, was born in Hopkinton, Mass., October 22d, 1802. She is of the Leland family, and has her descent from Henry Leland, the common ancestor, through Hopestill Leland and Hopestill Leland, Jr., of Sher- burne, Mass.; Ruth Leland, who married Samuel Perry, of Natick, Mass.; Miriam Perry, who married John Daniels, of Holliston, Mass.; and Obed Daniels, of Hopkinton, Mass. Her parents both died before she was four years of ao-e. She at an early period of her life made a profession of Christianity, and for many years she has been a pious member of the Trinitarian Congrega- tional church. She was married the 22d day of July, 1828, and since her marriage she has resided with her husband in Dorchester and Medway, Mass. Her husband, Rev. David Sanford, is a graduate of Brown University, of the class of 182-5. He studied theology with the Rev. Dr. Ide, of Medway, Mass., and at the theological institution in xlndover, Mass. He labored a short time in his profession in Lowell, Mass., Somerworth and Newmarket, N. H. He was then, from 1830 to 1838, pastor of the Trinitarian Congrega- tional church and society in the southerly part of Dorchester, Mass., and since October third, 1838, he has been the settled minister of the Congregational church and society, at Factory Village, in Medway, Mass. He is a native of Medway, and is now living in the house occupied by his graiidfather, who was also a clergyman, and pastor of the Congregational church and society in the West Parish in Medway, for the period of thirty-seven years.

JOHN LELAND'S POSTEKITY.

Dinah, second daughter of Samuel, from the time of her marriage to the time of her death, lived in Tyringham, Mass.

Ebenezer Leland, son of John, was married in Holliston, Mass., in 1762, and continued to reside there for ahout ten years. He then removed to Peru, Mass., and continued to dv/ell in that place and the adjoining town of Hins- dale, as long as he lived.

Deborah Leland, daughter of John, remained in Holliston until her death in 1791.

John Leland, son of John, and grandson of John, was a remarkable man, the events of whose life and ministry, if they could be recorded, would afford a very interesting and useful specimen of biography. All that can now be done is to give the following imperfect and meagre sketch. He was born in Hollis- ton, Mass., January liith, A. D. 1744. enjoyed only a plain English education, and commenced life as a farmer and a schoolmaster. At an early age he married Hephzibah Leland, daughter of Daniel Leland, and granddaughter of Hopestill Leland, who was brother of his own grandfather, and to his providential union with this noble woman he was doubtless principally indebted for his success, character, and usefulness. For the defects which belonged tohis constitutional temperament, were well supplied by the uncommon wisdom and energy of his most excellent wife. At the commencement of the Revolution, John was found among the defenders of his country, and at the battle of Banker Hill, he held a captain's commission, and led his company into the bloody conflict. Soon after, however, he became entirely convinced that he was ill suited to military life, resigned his commission, and returned to his farm. Within a year, or two, he became deeply impressed with a conviction that it was his duty to seek admis- sion to the gospel ministry, which after some difficulties and delays, arising from his want of a classical education, he obtained. He then settled in the ministry in a large township on the mountains of Berkshire, then bearing the name of Partridgefield, but is now divided into the towns of Peru and Hinsdale. At that time there were perhaps 150 families, but most of them new settlers, and in low circumstances. A church consisting of a few members had been organized, and Mr. L. was their first pastor. In this unpromising field he commenced his min- istry, and soon became one of the most successful popular preachers in that region. For about forty years he labored there with a remarkable degree of usefulness and efficiency. The church soon became one of the largest, most united, and flourishing in the vicinity. Successive seasons of revival at once increased and strengthened the church, and blessed the entire community. In his preaching, Mr. L. was sim.ple and unpretending, but faithful, pungent and affectionate. His sermons had little of the learning of the schools, but were replete with strong sense, powerful appeals to the heart, and much of the pathos of native genius. Such was his remarkable influence in the conmiu- nity that for many years the whole population of the town Averc of one heart under his ministry; not only in the pulpit, but in his ordinary intercourse, he

exerted a most blessed iiilluciifo. Pre-cmiiuiitly lif was a poaco-makor. Aiul so excellent was his sj)irit, so wdiuirahlc his tact in concilialint; the aiifrry feel- ings of men, and so wise and jndicions his ojjinions. that hardly once in ten years, did any dispute arise amonc: his peoplo, which was not instantly and amicably settled by Iiis iVicndly arbiti.ition. Details, which wonid fill a vol- nme, mnst be compressed into the Iniel' statement, that as the gnide of innnor- tal sonls, as th(^ vigilant watcbuian and concientions rnli-r over the clnircb of (Jod, — as an exam|)le ot' kindness and fidelity, — as a most usefnl member of civil society, and as the chuscn iiisirinncnt of conveying the richest Ijlessings npon tlie people of his charge^ Ins piaise was in all the chnrches. Few, who kn(Mv bini well wonld hesitate to apply to John Leland, the inspired cnloginm : '• lie was a good man, and full of the Holy (ihost, and of laith, and much ]i(^o]il(^ were added to the Lord." 'I'luis tor nearly forty years, this devoted man labored in the same held, and all the snj)port lie ever received Avas an annual .salary ot two Inmdred dollars, and this not pnnctually, nor fidly iKiid, especially in the earlier years of his pastorate. And yet, he lived comfortably and respectably, and exercised a hospitality which gave his house the title of the '-minister's tavern." He owed no man anything. He trained up seven children respectably, giving them such an education as enabled most of tlieni to commence life as teachers. To his youngest son he gave a liberal education. And bow was all this done on such a salary. True, be bad a small farm, but be bad neither taste nor skill for its management. I le was wholly given to bis ministerial work. How then, it may well be asked, did he manage to get along comfortably with such slender resources ? The reply is easily given, and it is worthy of being inscribed on tablets of marble. The secret of all this comfort and use- fulness, the bidden spring whence flowed all these streams of blessing, was the simple fact that John Leland had a good wife, pre-eminently good — a model for all ministers' wives — she excelled in piety, good sense and energy. Not only as a mother in Israel, ready and prompt for every good word and work, but wise and prudent in increasing and imsbanding their slender resources. In a word, she was all in all to the comfort and support, and moral training of her family, and to the usefulness and encouragement .of her husband. Her children and grandchddren may well rise up and call her blessed. Many daughters have done nobly and virtuously, but thou, Hephzibah Leland, excellest them all. In 1805 this holy woman entered into her rest, and ever after, her bereaved husband was a living witness liow essen- tial slic had been to him in every department of life. He labored years after in tlie ministry, acceptably and usefully; but his eflbrts were always like the attempts of an eagle to fly which has lost one of its wings. At iengih. he resolved to resign his charge, and unhappily did so; by which at least ten years of his last and best years were lost to the chinch. I'inally. al the age of eighty 3'ears, he closed in })eacc a life of uncommon vicissitudes and usefulness, at the house of his elder son, lion. John Leland, of Amherst, Mass.

The eight children of Asa Lolaiul were born in Ilolli.stoii, Mass.

liinit. Gov. Aaron Leland, who had his descent from Henry Leland, the l^iliirini father of the Leland family in America, throngli Ilopestill Leland, of JSherbnrne, .Tohn Leland and >:^ainnel Leland of llolliston, Mass., and Asa Leland, who died in Chester, Vt., was born in HoUiston, Mass., May 2Sth, 17G1, he possessed no greater advantages of cdncation than were afforded by the common schools in Massachusetts before the Revolution; but a naturally vigorous mind, devotedly applied to the means of self-culture within his reach, compensated, in a measure, for a regular course of theological studies, now considered so indispensable to a minister of the gospel. He became a member of the IJaptist church in 1785, and took the pastoral charge of the Bapti.st church, in Chester, Vt., in 1787. His heart M'as in the cause he espoused, and it was the chief object of hi.s long lilc t<i administer the consolations of the Christian religion to all who came within his influence. At the time of his set- tlement ill Chester, the country was new, the church ncwlj^ organized, and Mr. Leland was its first pastor; very few of the members were in better worldly circumstances than their preacher, and a salary was not easily raised, but liis fellow citizens made him town cleric, and for many years elected him to rep- resent them in the legislative assembly, as some pecuniary reward for his labors in the pulpit. Mr. Leland early became a leading member in the state legislature, and in 1S(J4, was made speaker of that body, and was chosen to that place during four successive sessions. He was appointed, and continued to be for many years, judge of the county court of Windsor county. In 1S22 he

226 JOHN LELAND'S POSTERITY.

was elected lieut. governor, which honor his fellow citizens conferred upon him during six terms of office. Up to this time his civil offices had not interrupted his services in the pulpit, and his duties as a minister of Jesus Christ; but when, in 1828, he was proposed as a candidate for governor, he found that the long relationship with his pastoral charge must cease, or that he must relin- quish civil service, he yielded to the impulses of his heart, and, as he believed, to the paramount requirements of his master, whose minister he was, and caused his name to be withdrawn from the canvass. Mr. Leland possessed, in an eminent degree, the qualities that constitute a successful extemporaneous speaker, a powerful cast of mind, quick perceptive and large comparing fac- ulties; and during a period of forty-six years' ministerial labors, never, it is believed, made use of written discourses. He was an agreeable companion, a liberal christian, and an honest man. He was one of the fellows of Middle- bury College, Vermont, from 1800 to 1832. And that institution conferred upon him the honorary degree of Master of Arts in 1814. And he received a similar degree from Brown University, Providence, R. I., in 1815. He died, August 25th, 1832. and left no issue.

Abigail, from the time of her marriage, in 1791, to the time of her death in 1843, lived in Wrentham, Mass.

Miriam was married in Holliston, Mass., in 1791, and remained there until 1800, when she, with her husband and three young children, removed to Ches- ter, Vt., where she resided until a few years before her death, which occurred at Londonderry, Vt., in August, 1846. Many years previous to her death she became a professor of religion, in connection with the Baptist denomination. During her life, she was enabled to adorn the doctrine of her God and Saviour, and in her death, as in her life, she enjoyed the consolations and the hope of the gospel. Her husband. Dr. Nathan V^hiting, still survives, (1850), aged eighty-five years, and resides in Londonderry, Vt. Four of her children were born in Holliston, Mass., and three in Chester, Vt. Her son, Nathan N., passed his youth and early manhood in Chester, Vt. He is a clergyman of the Baptist denomination, and also a professor of languages. He is a graduate of Union College, of the class of 1815, and he has for several years been settled in W^il- liamsburg, Long Island, N. Y.

Her daughter, Miriam, has continued to reside in Chester, Vt., from 1800 to the present time (1850). She was married in the year 1826. Her husband, Abram Lowell is of the medical profession, and in good practice as a physician and surgeon, in Chester, Vt. In 1825, he received from Middlebury College, Vt., the degree of M. D.

of Jamiary, A. D. ISOO. During the same year his father removed from IIol- lisloii t(i ( 'hester, Vt., at which place ami in the iicighhoriii^' town of London- derry he has since resided. The snhjeel o|' this sketch jnisse<l liis childho<xl and youth in ('hestcp. Dnriin^ this jmmmocI he received from his j)arents, and more especially (Voni his uircctionatc^ mother, those instrnclions in m«)rrdity an<l rc^iigion, which he sid)se(inently fonnd of inestiniahle v;dne in the conchiel of life, lie litted for college at Chester Ae;idemy. nnder the instruction of several })receplors, the most (list iminished ol' wliotn, was tlic jaic James Dean, for many years professor of niatheiiialics and natiu'a! philosophy, in the nniversity of Ver- mont, ilavim: (pialilied hiiiiscji" lor college, in the sj>ring of ISIB, lie entered at Hanover, N.

Nathan N. Whiting, who had recently finished his collegiate conrse at Union College, Schenectady, with a view of en- tering the last named institution, he asked and receiv^^d, from professor Kbene- zer Adams, of Dartmeuth College, an honorable dismission, in the autumn of the same year, 1819, he entered the junior class of Union College in Avhich institution, with a large class, he graduated in 1821. At a subscqnent period, the degree of A. M. Avas conferred upon him. Shortly after leaving college Mr. W. went to Long Island, where he commenced, as a stated emj)loyment, the business of teaching, which, with the exception of the last year of his collegiate conrse, he had regularly followed, for a few months every year, since the close of 181.3. IJy teaching he had obtained means to delVay the chief part of the expense of his education. On arriving on Long Island in 1821, he took charge of a public school in the village of iS'ew Lots and town of Flatbush, Kings connty, which he taught lor nearly two years, and then in 1823, opened a select English and classical school for boys, in Newtown, Queens county, L. I., and subsequently changed it to a boarding school lor boys. In the antumn of 182.5 he left Newtown, and in connection witii another teacher, opened a Seminary for boys in Brooklyn, Kings county, with a classi- cal and English department, him-^elf taking charge of the former and his partner of the latter. In this seminary a number of students were fitted for college, and afterwards graduated at diU'erent literary instituiions. IMr. \\ . not having origi- nally intended teaching as a profession for life, in the latter part of the 3-ear 1830, entered his name in an ollice in the city of New York, as a student at law, intending, as soon as convenient, to relinquish teaching, and to devote his

228 JOHN LELAND'S POSTERITY.

Avhole time to the study he had commenced. He, however, contmued his labors in the seminary as usual, and appropriated only his leisure time to the study of law. While pursuing this course, he was taught by an event, to him the most important and interesting of any in the progress of life, " that the way of man is not in himself, that it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps." Eeference is here made to his conversion, or to the change in his spiritual state and char- acter. God, by his providence and grace, had for some time previous to this event, been teaching Mr. W. his need of a more enduring and satisfying portion for the soul, than this world can furnish, and in the month of February, 1831, had led him to form the solemn and unalterable purpose of seeking, and if possible, of securing that better portion which the gospel reveals. He had caused him to feel willing to make any sacrifice, which the gospel demands, in order to seek and secure an interest in the "great salvation." Acting under the impulse of this feeling, while attending on the ministry of the Rev. Mr. Mcllvaine.now the Protestant Episcopal Bishop of Ohio, Mr. W. as a helpless and perishing sinner, devoted himself, soul and body, for time and eternity, to the Lord Jesus Christ, at the same time invoking the Holy Spirit to seal or confirm the act unto the day of judgment. As a necessary result of thus coming to Christ, who hath said, " him thatcometh to me I will in no wise cast out," he was enabled to lay hold of the promise and hope of eternal life. The hope then embraced he has hitherto found "as an anchor of the soul both sure and steadfast." Shortly after the event referred to above, Mr. Whiting left the Academy at Brooklyn and directed his attention, unremit- tingly to the law. After having pursued this study for a time, he felt con- strained to relinquish it and to enter upon the study of divinity, in order to qualify himself for preaching the gospel. Accordingly, in the autumn of 1831, he entered the general theological seminary of the Protestant Epis- copal church, in the United States, located in the city of New York, and commenced with the class then entering, the prescribed course of studies. In September, 1832, during the annual vacation in the theological seminary, Mr. Whiting was united in marriage to Elizabeth Richardson, eldest daughter of Mr. Grant Thorburn, of the city of New York. In June, 1834, having completed the prescribed course of studies in the general theological semi- nary, he with the other members of the class received the usual testimo- nial. In the same month, in the city of New York, with a number of other candidates, he was ordained a deacon by the Right Rev. Benjamin T. Onder- donk, D. D., bishop of the Protestant Episcopal Church, in the State of New York. After his ordination, Mr. Whiting took the pastoral charge for a few weeks, during the absence of the rector, the late Dr. Milnor, of St. George's Church, N.Y.,and then officiated for a short time in St. Luke's church, N. Y., which was at that time without a settled pastor. In November of the same year, he removed, with his family, to Jamosville, Onondago county, N. Y., where.

The eight children of Ahiier Leland were horn in Holliston, .Mas.s.

His son, Elijah, was married in Hoston, Mass., soon after he was twenty-one years of age, and in a short time after his marriage, settled in Chester, Vt., where he continned to reside for five or six years. He then removed to Bloorn- lield, now Mendon, in the western part of the state of New York, and remained there until his death in 1S28. Two of his children were born in Cliester, and eleven in Bloomlield and Mendon.

Amos Leland son of Elijah, has lived a considerable number of years in Norwich, Chenango county. New York.

His daughter. Hannah, was married in Mendon, N. Y,, Sept. 15th, 1S24. She afterwards hved with her husband, in Mendon. Rochester and Bethany, N. Y.; Oil Creek in the comity of Crawford, Penn. : New Albany, Indiana and Sunbnry, Delaware county, Ohio. Her husband, Rev. William Gildersleeve, was a clergyman of the Baptist denomination, and also a physician. He was a graduate of "Williams College, Williamstown, Mass., and received a degree of M. D., from Yale College, New Haven, Conn. He was in practice as a physi- cian for about four years in the western part of the state of New York. About the year 1828, he commenced preaching under a license from the Baptist churcli in Rochester, N. Y., and was soon after ordained in Bethany, New York, as a minister of the gospel of that denomination. And he continued to labor in the ministry from that time until his death in 1845. The other children of Elijah are settled in different places in western New York, Ohio, Michigan and Wis- consin, as appears by the foregoing tabular account.

Amasa Leland, second son of Abner, remained with his father in Holliston, Mass., until he was over thirty years of age. He afterwards lived in South- borough, jMass., a few years, and then settled in Milford, Mass., where he con- tinued to reside until his death in 1838. He was a successful farmer. His three surviving children, Charles, Abner A., and Harriet T., have always lived in Milford.

Jotham Leland, third son of Abner, was married in Holliston, Mass.. in 1805, and remained there for several years. He then lived in Hopkinton, Mass., until 1819. He then returned to Holliston, and continued to reside tliere until 1846, and since that time he has had his place of residence in Ashland, Mass. He is an industrious farmer.

Luther Leland, fourth son of Abner, was a clergyman. He fitted for college, with the Rev. Timothy Dickinson, of Holliston. Mnss., was educated at Middle-

•^36 JOHN LELAND'S POSTERITY.

bury college, Yt., and graduated with the class of 1807. He studied divinity, and was the settled minister of the Congregational church and society in Der- by, Vt., for the last twelve or thirteen years of his life. He died in 1822.

Eliab Leland, fift!i son of Abner, was married in Holliston, Mass., in 1808, and since his marriage he has lived in Southborough, Hopkinton and Upton, Mass. He is a farmer, and now (1850) resides in Upton.

Deacon Samuel Leland was born in Holliston, Mass., May 21, 1784. He is descended from Henry Leland, the common ancestor of the Leland family in America, through Hopestill Leland of Sherburne, Mass., John Leland, Sam- uel Leland, and Abner Leland, of Holliston, Mass. He passed his infancy, youth and early manhood with his parents in Holliston. His father was a farmer, and he was brought up to labor upon the farm, except a few months in the winter season, Avhen he was allowed to attend the common district school. He, however, for a few years during the latter part of his minority, taught a school in the winter season. He was married in 1806, at the age of twenty-two. After he left Holliston in 1811, he lived in Leverett, Mass., 16 years, in Montague Mass., 8 years, in Sunderland, Mass., 1 year, again in Holliston 10 years, and in Ashland, Mass., where he nov/ (1850) resides, five years. He is a man of great moral purity and christian piety. He has ever been an ardent defender of the Christian religion, and his means, as far as prudence would permit, have been freely given for its support. He was early impressed with religious feel- ings, and as he humbly hopes, experienced religion at the age of twenty-one years, but did not connect himself with any church until 1813. He then became a member of the Leverett and Montague Baptist church. In 1821 he was chosen deacon of this church, and was set apart to the office a few years after by ordination. He continued in the office of deacon of that church until he removed to Holliston. He then united with the Baptist church in Medway, Mass., and in 1840, was chosen a deacon of this church, and continued to serve in this capacity until he left Holliston. for Ashland, in 1845. He immediately became a member of the Baptist church in Ashland, and was soon after chosen deacon, Avhich office he now holds. He has ever been a firm and zealous advocate of all religious, moral, benevolent and philanthropic objects. He was early engaged in the temperance reform and has ever continued to labor in its be- half He has been a member of the board of assessors or selectmen in every town in which he has resided long enough to be eligible, except Ashland, showing the great confidence his fellow citizens have reposed in his honesty and ability. In the early part of his life he held the offices of ensign and lieutenant in the militia, and was offered that of captain, which he declined. And now, he having nearly served his own generation, feels himself a sinnner in the sight of God, and trusts entirely in tlie atoning blood of Christ for pardon and sal- vation, and his constant desire and prayer is that, he, himself, and all of his, may be prepared for that rest that remaineth for the children of God. His surviving children are all living in AshJand and the neighboring town of Holliston. His

He was a senator from the county of Hampshire in the legis- lature of Massachusetts for the years 1833 and 1834, and a representative from the town of Amherst, Mass., for the year 1847. His son John H. M. Leland, was educated at Amherst College and received his degree of A. B. in 1840. He is a clergyman of the Trinitarian Congregational denomination. He married his cousin, Eliza T. Leland, daughter of his mother's brother, Joseph P. Leland, of Sherburne, Mass.

The government of that college in 1549, conferred upon him the degree of Doctor of Divinity. In IS26 he was mar- ried to Sarah Ann Folsom. a lady of fine accomplishments and true christian piety. She was granddaughter of Gen. Nathaniel Folsom, a member of the first congress from the state of New Hampshire. She died Feb. 27th, 18.50. George E. has no children. Her daughter, Eliza L.

He i early rmited with a Christian church. Affectionate in dispositioD, full of charity, ] ever correct in all his conduct, patient and gentle under protracted sufferings, | he was universally loved, and the memory both of his life and his death is ' exceedingly precious to his numerous friends.

month afterwards, hiiidcd in (Charleston. S. ('. lii Iniir wi. k.-, jificr reaching Charleston, he was eleeled classical teacher in the .Mount IMeasant Academy, within sight of the city, a very advantageous situation, allordin;^ not only useful and protitahle employment, hut leisure and facilities for pursuitjg the study of his future profession. hi Jiuic of the succeeding year (IbD'.l) he was married lo ilie eldest daui^hter of the lion. j;imcs Ilihhen, a lady who still survives to hless her hushand and family, as one of the best of wives and iiHillurs. Ill ihc year ISIl. ihc sidjji'ct of this brief int'in(jir was licensed to preach the gospel by tiie Presbytery of Harmony, at their sessions in Charles- ton; and in the year (ollowing he wasordaincd by the same ecclesiastical body, t(^ the work of the Christian ministry. In I'^l!?, he was elected and instnlled pastor of the First Presbyterian church of the city of CMiarlcston. In IsM, Brown University, Providence, 11. I., conferred upon him the honoray degree of Master of Arts, and in 1815, he received the degree of Doctor of Divinity, Ironi the South Carolina College. After his permanent settlement in the min- istry, he continued in the regular disciiarge of its laborious duties nearly twenty years, part of the time as pastor of the church above mentioned, and subsei^uently of the Presbyterian church, of St. Andrews parish. In 1833, he received from the united synods of South Carolina and G'eorgia, the appointment of Professor of Christian Theology in the Southern Theo- logical Seminary, located in Columbia, S. C, and in the following year, was inaugurated into that oifice, luvev since, he has been exclusively devoted to the labors of that important professorship, in an institution s<» vitally important to the churches and the ministry of the south, that already a majority of the pastors of the Presbyterian churches in several states consists of those who have enjoyed its advantages. In his family, A. AV. L. has been liighly favored. He has five sons, of liberal education and of respectable standing. Of four daughters, lie was called, in 1845, to mourn the death of the second, the wife of tlie Rev. A. A. Porter, pastor of the Glebe street church, in Charleston. The eldest daughter is the wife of the Rev. Edwin Cater, princi- pal of the Young Ladies Institute, at Bradford Springs, S. C. The two younger daughters have not reached maturity. There is something remarkable in the uniform and vigorous health enjoyed by Dr. L., with scarcely an inter- ruption, for forty years. When he first migrated to the south, it was predicted, and with every probability of correctness, that his sanguine and plethoric habit would ensure an early death. And yet, by the mysterious arrangement of Providence, he has not only outlived more than a whole generation, but has enjoyed a degree of uniform vigorous licalth, which is very rare, even in Xew England. So remarkable, indeed, has been his degree of health, that in tbrty years, he has not been prevented by siclcness from attending the services of the sanctuary, more than seven or eight Sabbaths. It may be useful to add, that such a continuance of good health in so sickly a climate, whde it should be ascribed to the good pleasure of Him to whom all things are po.>sible, — the Sov-

ereign Disposer of life and death, — ^niay also be traced, instrumentally, to the practice of rigid temperance. On landing in Carolina, forty years ago, A. W. L. entered into a solemn covenant with himself, to drink nothing but water, and that covenant has been kept inviolate. He, therefore, practised Mai abstinence nearly a score of years before the name was invented, and practically adopted the principles of the temperance reform, long before the trumpet-tongued alarm of Beecher had disturbed the deathful slumbers of the world. However the fact may be, as to the efficacy of this peculiar habit in preserving the health and life of the subject of this memoir, it is his own settled conviction, that if he had continued to be v/hat is called a moderate dr'vnker of intoxicating liquors, he would have been in his grave thirty years ago. At the present time, (1850), Dr. Leland enjoys good health, with all his powers unimpaired, and is as well able to discharge the duties of his sacred office, as at any former period of life.

cation. But as he then had no desire to engage in any of the learned pro- fessions, he did not so second the wishes of his father as to induce him to send his son to school preparatory to college. After the decease of his father in 1330, the subject of this notice experienced a change in his religious views and . feelings, and desired to enter the Christian ministry. His wishes were warmly seconded by most of his friends, and especially by his elder sister, and he decided to obtain an education for this purpose. About the commencement of the year 1831, he entered upon a course of preparatory study at Wrentham Academy, and entered Amherst College in 1832, and graduated in 1836. He ■ soon repaired to the Andover Theological Seminary, and graduated at that institution in 1839. In April, of the same year, he commenced preaching to the South Church, in North Bridgwater, Mass. At the expiration of his engage- ment there, he was engaged to preach in Hanson, Plymouth county, M§. He arrived in that place on the 16th of Nov., the anniversary of his birth. In the course of some weeks he received a call to settle over the Congregational church and society, in that place, and was ordained pastor, March Uth, 1840, He was married on the 9th of the same month, to Miss Christina Gilbert, of Taunton, Mass, He remains in Hanson at the present time, with a united and affectionate people.

The house occupied by Jedediah P. Leland, and which was also owned and occupied by his father, Joshua Leland, stands upon land Avhich belonged to Henry Leland, our primitive ancestor, and near the place where he first dwelt in Sherburne, Mass., and where he died. And an apple-tree is now (1850) standing near by, which, according to a tradition, universally credited, among his descendants in Sherburne, was produced from a seed brought from Eng- land, by his wife Margaret, and planted on his first settlement in Sherburne, near his dwelling house. And there is an ancient burying ground, a short dis- tance from the house of Jedediah, in which Henry and his three sons, Hopestiil, Ebenezer and Eleazer, were buried, and where their ashes, mingled with the dust, now repose. Henry Leland, between the time of his arrival in this coun- try in 1653, and his death in 1680, acquired four or five hundred acres of land in Sherburne, which by his will, he distributed among his three sons; the parts which he gave to his sons Hopestiil and Ebenezer, have ever since been owned and occupied by his descendants ; but on the death of Eleazer his share passed out of the family. Eleazer died without issue and by will, gave all his estate to his wife Sarah.

The number of the descendants of Henry Leland, contained in this volume, is 9624. And there are, in 1850, among the living and the dead, ten generations of the Leland family in America. Three of them, embracing Henry Leland, his children and grandchildren, are recorded in the first chapter of this volume; two, embracing the children and grandchildren of the twelve grand- sons of Henry, in the first division of the other twelve chapters; five, embracing the descendants of the grandchildren of the twelve grandsons of Henry, in the second division of the last twelve chapters. The persons whose names are at the head of the tables in this last division of the twelve chapters, are in all cases, in the fifth generation, and their descendants, in the column of parents, marked with one figure, are in the sixth generation; those marked with two figures, in the seventh; those with three, in the eighth ; and those with four, in the ninth ; and those persons in the column of children, opposite to the parents marked with four figures, are in the tenth generation.
