FOREWORD.
The greater part of the matter cont-^lned In this volume
was collecte'i by Tianlel Gould Allen [Mo. 343] from bible and
other records, and by personal Interviews with the older
members of the family. It was published in 1898, three
years after the death of the compiler, under the title
"Genealogy of the Allen T^arally" or "History of Quidnessett".
Had Mr. Allen lived to have properly prepared his manuscript
for the press he would undoubtedly have discovered and. correct-
ed many of the errors fm6. discrepancies which manifested
themselves after it was printed.
As the edition was very smallv it was thought best
to publish a revised edition, adding an Index and as much new
data as po<3sible.
This volume oontq Ins .therefore, all the matter of
any importance contained in the first edition, with as many
corrections and additions as could be gathered. All dates,
80 far as possible, have been verified or corrected by a
close search of the Vital Records of Rhode Island and other
works, as well as by correspondence.
Any one finding errors is requested to send correct
data which will be entered in a copy and deposited in the
NEWBERRY LIBRARY, Chicago, to Insure preservation and, at the
same time, be available to anyone who might desire to consult it.

TO Trace Your Ancestry.
After locating your parents by the Index, you will find
Ills, or her
trfeftj^^inrn^ririiini n-umber just above the narae; then look for
the same number further forward under the v;ord, Ohildren»
This will give the name and family of your grandparent, and
o
so on. Illustration: Christopher Harris Arnold is the
g
head of family #518, on page ; the superior figure
indicates that he is in the eighth generation from Wlllian ,
the emigrant. The names in parenthesis give the line of
descent, vi2. , his father, grand.father, great-grandfather, etc.
Turning forward to page , we find that #518 is one of the
7
children of Phebe Waterman Allen C^^o. ."539] who married Nathan
Allen Arnold. Turn forward again and No. 339 will be found
6
on page , as one of the children of Thomas GOTold Allen
[No. 191], Continue In this way until the first generation
is reached. Reverse this process to find the children,
grandchildren, etc. , of any given person. Those having
the sign + will be found under his or her individual number
in the following generation.
EXPLANATIONS,
In a number of Instances authorities, or persons aencLtng
<?>^
m data have given different dates of birth, death ^«4- marriage/
In such cases preference has been given to the date which
carried the best evidence of being correct, if given in
full m the Vital Records of Rhode Island, such dates have
been given preference. In^cases where there was no way to
determine which was correct, both dates have been given.
f^ome of the Vital Records of Rhode Island, notably those
of NORTH KINGSTOWN, have been badly damaged by fire and other
causes, which accounts for the absence of a number of names
or parts o-^ names, as well as incomplete dates of birth, death
and marriage.

Potowomut river, extencung frora Greene's Porge as far north
as the Maskachu^e brook or Magcachov;af;e river, thence fcllow-
ing the Indian footpath or Pequct road., no^v called the Po-^t
road, to the Cocuragquiesic river, now called Gtony Hook, near
the house on tlie npdike fam, thence east a fevi rods on this
brook and the Cociunfiicusguc Kar'nor, cr ^/Ickford Harbor; on the
east by the Narragansett 'i^hy.
After the line beti^een I'/qghington and Kent co-antleg waa
egtabllahed, its northern line followed up the Potowomut
river to Hunt'jg bridge, thence westerly on the Post road.
The first purchase in the Nar-^agansett country wag made
by Bichard ^r-nith in the year IG.^7. This tract of land
comprises the Updile fat^n in the s out hv/es tern part of
'juidnessett. "He erecte.d a house for trade and gave free
entertainment to travelers, it being on the great road of
the countri'^. " It ivas nade of logs and stood where the
Updike house nov; stands, and sorae of the timbers find bricks
of that house are still in the one nov? standing. By the
marriage of Riaith' s daughter into the Updike f'^r.ily this
estate, given to her by the vdll of her father, took that
name, and so remained until it passed into the hands of
Captain Joseph Congdon. Five or six years later Roger
Williaras and one wucox built houses near ?^nith. As
Wtl-linne d.i'.ted «50i(ie oi* his letteyg at CocujnsqulsBicK. it ie
evident that he spent some of hi?? tine at thi^i place and.
probably preached to the Indians. The Narragansett t.-r'ibe
at this tine nimbered thirty thousand eoulg, including five
thousand fighting nen. It i»^ safe to conclude that they
were more numerous in Quidne!?-*^tt, Cocurascussick and Naraocock
or Namcook (Boston fl^ck), than xn any other place. We hav«
never be-^n able to find the exact location where Canonicus
and Pliant on ojnoh, or even the iwder Sachem Coquinariuand
resided. As the Indians were of a roving disposition they
jiight ha^re resided at one tine in Narragansett and at another
in nhowonut(\Varwick ), or Aiuidnecke (Rhode Island). Some
have fixed the place near ^'-'ioxford. Roger Williams leased
the land that he oc:rapied, and in the vear 1651 sold to
Richard ninith his trading house, his t^vo hig guns and a small
island for goats whi.ch had been lent hin by the Sacheir.s.
The Quirinessett territoi^y was purchased of Racher;
Coquinanuond, Tune 11, 1659, by Major Hunphrey Atherton and
ills partners, twentythree yea^s after Roger 'Villians had
purchased Providence, and twenty two years after Coddington
and others h'-'d purchased of Canonicus and Miantonoraoh,
Aouldnecke ov Rhode Island. Newport \7as organised into
■■• tois?r)ship in the vear 16:^7.
Canonicus and Miantononioh were the grand sachems of all

Miantono?noh inherited the chief tan^hip frcj:; Jii^B father, but
during hi? ab-^ence in v.-ar engai^en.'^nts , hi<3 uncle Canonicup
was lookeii to a?5 procurator. A nore worthy, upright
personage th^ dui^Xy race n«3V'-'r knew. He v/as .nearly eighty
years of age when Roger Willians fir'st nade hie acquaintance
and frionriRhip. Hig judfpient j^nd crafty echeiae^ were felt
and respected far and near. The great r.achej:. of the
Na-^ragan«5ett? dt«^'^ -Tune 4, 1647, a very old raan, nearly'
ninety years of age. He was until ti:e end, a friend to
Poger ^'111"'. ai'->'? nnr! hi'= ric:oor'.i. nt.P>a ,i v fn.'^ '-ettlement of Rhode

Miantono.uoh was a famous young prince. He was a
proud-spirited, turbulent chief, never •'".t yp.p,t, J'aesachu-
setts and Connecticut both planned his capture, b^/- the use
of the Mohicans, through their chief, nncas. The plan was
successful. ]/-iantononioh was captured and taken to Hartford,
rcrce ncnths after^^^ard the two colonies advised hir death.
According to tiie decision, 'Incas carried Ki'-mtononoh to the
spot frora where he had been tahen, and on their arrival one
of Hncas' men split Iv'iantonOuCh' % heod open from behind
killing hin instantlv.

I have heen unable to -f^ind the quantity of virnciy.m
that Kaior Atherton paid ■for Ouidnessett , but there is no

The- purchasers invested their money for the intp.rest

of John Green and "^on, vho owned a large tract in that region)
188 acres of land, paying f?933 1/3 for the sa'ne. The first
block house was built on the east side of Allen's Rocks,
vvhich rise to a nearly perpendicular height of twenty or
thirty feet for a distance of about thirty rode. The
second house w^s built a little wajr from the first, dowi
a declivity, and v.'as enclosed v/ith ;^; stone wall six feet high.
the area being about one and one-half acres. The house was
in froi;: the road sorae eighty rods or nore. The3'' built at
these points because they were sheltered frora the bleak, cold
w?.nds from the vr«qt. north and northeast. The land around
was very stony. 'Proni the qiiantity of shells foiind in that

After a saw nill was erected soinv/ two or three miles
away, a large hip-roof nanslon was built on '.hXs estate.
Rix generations were born in this house, and, after surviving
the storras of 170 years, it v.';ib torn down in 1831, to give
place to a one and one-half glory cottage. The farm v/ae

prohibited a m'-n narr^'^ing his wife's sister. His overture?

dan v.'ss constructed on tlie Potowonut v;e have no means of find-
ing out, but it wae I'.ot until after the Cirst bridge was built
in 1715. Jonathan Hill died in 1731, and it was not built
in his day, for there is no evidence that he ever lived on the
lan-^. he had owned. His son Thoraas Hill had lived on the
land three years when he saw the necessity of -^ saw-mill, a
fulling-mill, and a grist-'aiil. He and Ixis neighbor, Greene
(probably the Quaker preacher), formed a company and carried
on these several industries together fov some tine. After
a while Hill had two or three sons bO'^n to hin an'L Greene five
28
ov six, and it ^vne foimd oonvonient to work, tliese boys in
when approaching nanhood. The plan of work vms thrat Hill
should run the iiill one week and Greene the next. The boys,

All this tine Hill ^vas losing his share of the profits and
Greene was taKin>i: it, Verv s5on " feud between the partiep.
grev; up and the mills being on Greene's side of the river,
Hill was obliged to sell his interest to Greene, and an acre
of land went i^Tith the dan to secure wat'-jr power.
Jonathan Hill gave bv deed to his; son, Thonfis, one-half
of an open sloop boat, naraed the May '"^ lower or fourteen tons
burthen, Tieceyaber .^1, \7 2S. This boat ".-as used in the
trade of tjie conipany '.mtil they di'Bsolved partnership. Scon
after the Gre-enes built a sloop for themselves of sevent-^en
tone burthen and named it the Two i3rothers. She carried
on trade between t'lo mills, and ^^evroovz avi. Providence toitil
18 S7, when Judge Richard 'V. Greene built a sloop of twenty
tons burthen n^njiied the Emil'r Ann, which v;a,s sold a fev; year«g
I'-ner.
The saw-mill and fulling-mill were abandoned after the
company dissolved and the Anchor work? 'superseded them.
Afterward a mill for grinding grain was established.
29
The fi.rst house oullt on Hill's land was located on the
hill about twenty rcodg above the bridge, and. the second vyas
built on the rlsini; ground in the rear of the In'lian noujid
by the sule of the forge mil pond. This jriound (Xnovn as
the "'^ound Hill" ), is nerh^^ps fifteen rods long ^>n'l half as
v,'ide and nearly forty feet high. The top is level and
un'lerlaid with shells. There are sevf-.rnl large oak trees
on the top ■^nr'. sides O'" it. It sets on tlie east bank, of
the river just at the upper '-yi^i^e of tide water, as it T/as in

B^r the side of this place Thopjas Hill selected the
resting place of his f^'rr.ily and n'~^ny of thei'i repose there.
His third wife refused to m^yvi^ hin i-inless he ".ould sel.l

HON. JOHN ALLEW was bom at the homestead of his fatlier
on the west bank of Allen's harbor In ^lorth Klngston-i. KIb
advantages for education were as good as the corxion schools
of his day afforded. There was but one schoolhouse In the
tov3i and that happened to be about a half mile from his home.
It proved to ^-^e the stepplnL" stone to his .l^.iture usefulness.
He shov;r-d nothing remarkable In early life.
On M»5iy S7, 1769, four months after his first raarrlage,
he boujjht the Robert westcott faTTjn of eighty aoree, nov owned
by Joseph Madison. Judge Allen lived on thlg farm when he
was taken prisoner by the British.
Nothing vri.ll develop a man's character earlier In life
and more assuredly than war. John Allen v;as a -y^^w^i^ man
but was never a ml 11 tar;'- m.an. He had made knov/n his mind
and deten.iinatlon early in the Pevolutiori. He v/as determin-
ed to support the cause of Liber'-y and In dependence at the
52
qacrlftce Of life pn^l fortune. He wfjs not n f5Peech-rcaking
man, but hr.ri £:T<eat influence with his neighbors who stood
about two Patriots to one Tory. He hf>(\ opent j„ost of his
life in Quidneseett , but in 1776 v;hen the J3ritish invaded
Newpovt and had control of all the lower na\-'t of Narragansett
Ba3', he was obliged to le-ave I'as farm in the handg of some
other pel-son.
He had been accuftoned to boating f^tones from Hope
I'^land to Kewort, and it nas quite convenient for Ilia to
take supplies froro Quidnegsett to the Araerican arjue ^t Tiver-
ton, with his sloop Seaflower, and hi?? craft being in danger
of seisu^e so near to i=!ir Peter Parker's giin ships, he moved
his family and bo'-.t into Greenwrlch but continued his vocation.
In the spring of 1779 he returned to his farra. The British
were so disquieted that they resolved..to capture hiji, and
'also William Spencer, Christopher Hall, Oliver r^>ink and C,
Tillinghast. ?5pencer had be-^n placed upon the Nicholas
Spink fqrm while the owner w-^.s confined in Scituate, ten or
twelve jailes frora the aeashore \'ihe:<?e his farra was situated,
for coramunicating v/ith the British and running supplies to
th^K It night.
A large nwiber of Tories frora Quirinessett arid other parts
of Wo-th KingstoiTn, had joined the British i^der the guidance
of Col. George Wightrcan (the title v/as c^Lven hii- at the clo<5e
of the Ti'rench rind In^^ian War ). The business of this gang
w^s to plijncler the f«irr.s on tJie seashore. They i)illat;ecl
and TDicrned five houses and. hairnB in one ?rirjit in Hor^th Kings-
town, two houses being in Quiftne'?r-^'-tt .
A breach of confidence occurred here between Jolin Allen
and q Tory cousin, Mansfield Allen. whii^. Jo'rji v/es living
in East Greenwich, Mansfield was tarust into jail fvor being
iniralcal to the United States. Out of si/rapath^r for his
yoijng relative, John sent hir. food froir. hi8 ovm table on
several occasions. /Jansfield, after making suitable con-
cessions to Vr^. council of war, »/hich net at Greenwich, was
released. Very soon thereafter he cf'ir.e in contact with.
the 'Vightni?"in "Gfing" and deterirvined to turn traitor to Iiis
country. He applied to John Allen for the u^-e of hip sloop
to convey provisions to the British, then lying a short
distance off Hope Island. He was told he cowld. not have it
for such a purpose, biit if he v.ould take his t^'ade to his ovm
countr-'^mien he wO'.ild he v/eicone to the use of it. TJiis in-
censed the man and he resolved to '.-e tali ate, ^ccorrlingly
he brou>rht the British froia their ships under cover of the
darkness, to take John Allen and vviiiiRm Spencer, vdth their
cattle and family supplies, to Newport. ^everything Spencer
had was taken and he a^id his cattle forced to the shore, a
quarter of a mile f-'^oii hifj house, v/nere three barges were
a?;aiting their arri^'al. One of the boats wag grounded by
t]i8 ebb of the tide so thPt it could not be rot off. It
fell into the hands of the Patriots and the first nan that
boarded it was William Parks.
Elated wit]\ his success, Mansfield conducted the British
to +he house of John Allen, a q-ioarter of a nile tn -mother
54
rUT-ection. A mulatto boy, heionrlng to Jo'iti /Otlen's I'athe.r,
v/ho h^d b<3en on the eho^e as guq:':'rl, met t>e B-^itlQh nt the
door, qt the saiafj ti lae ■uy^^rninn: the fi^auily of the approach of
the enemy. The loors cf the house were einaehed in with the
butts of the It ijans, John Allen vjas rudely taken out and
hurried to the shore with his olGthes and shoes on his an;:,
f\nr{ was not allovred to conplete his toilet ■ijitil he v,-as snug-
ly on hoard one of their hoats. Four hayonfits were placed
at his hack and he was ordered to run. Ro stubborn v/as he
that he declared he would not run one step and they nirht kill
hir.i as quickly as tlie^y pleased. His ^nfe and four snail
children v/ere rlriven out of the house wit): no other apprael
than their nij^ht clothes. The driest girl, nine 3''ears of
age, begged the soldiers to throv; their clothe?? out of a
window, but they v?ere denied so much comfort and a bed qui.lt
was throvn out instead. The v.-lfrt casting an eye upon some
silver spoons as she made for the door, thrust then into her
bosojn and these */ere tlie only relic left then of a once happy
home. The house was set on fire as soon as the fanily wore
out and burned to the ground with a3.l its contents. ■ The
fa'&ily escape.l to the hou<5e of Christopher Allen nearly a
mile off, the nearest, hospitable retreat, tv /_ __/
Joim Allen's stock vi^2 taken and driven part way to the
shore, but the minute men obUged the raiders to leave t/ieii
and h^^isten to their boats. A few shots were exch^Jiged
but the Patriots were afraid of hitting the captives instead
55
Of the ciptcrs. The Kont.icih Ouarrlj? vyider Col. Joseph ^vy
were just too late to effect anything. A cqjinonade fT?o:!i the
gunehlp o*i£r^n as goon a? the people had gathered suff.loiently
^o warrant a shot, hut no one was injured. oeverntl shots,
explocied bonbshells, and now and then a chain shot have been
plour^hed out . on the f arras in ranf'e o.f John Allen' «? house.
Joseph and Willi an ^loc^jn, tv/elve and foi^rteen years old,
respectively, at t/ie ''.ine, eac3i tugged home a cannon ball
on their ".■•etur'': frora the shore- after the f u'e.
During John /lien's passage to Ne^roort the raarines
annoyed hin very luuch by picking at t]ie silver buckles on
his shoes. He asked an officer if that v/^s the treatraent
a .prisoner v;as to receive from his ^!a jester' s officers.
After that he was better treated. He was incarcerated
nearly five months in a loathsome prison vdth about forty
other prisoners, black as well as white, nostiy in one room,
some of whom v/ere chained to the floor abdve ^^nd below, in
filth and a most sick^ming stench. The capture occu.rred
at about 4:00 a. j;. , June 8, 1779, and they were released
Cctober "5, 1779, when the British evacuated. Newport.
John Allen v;as released about a month earlier at thxo
earnest solicitation of a young lady friend who rv??s attending
a ball at Newport where Hen. Prescott was a guest. KfiT
beauty and ladylike deportment won the eye and attention of
the British general when she sought the first opporti;nity to
broach the subject of w-«. Allen's imprisonment. Rhe made
56
her appeal fsc elonuentlv tlint he was set at liberty the next
no-^nlng.

while the Tories of Quidne-S'^ett quivered ^-n th rnge vrhen
they discovered the bearing it h^id upon their cowardV^ cora-

The principal per'sons connected with hi^s c^ptiire were

Ben^rinin Tanner, Nathfin Allen, M«visfield Allen, Tlicholae

sheriff's posse. With the exception of Benjaialn Tanner
these per-^ons w?ere arrested and held in Rcituate and Coventry
for several months. -Tabes t^eynolds and Nathan Allen were
accompanied by their wives i-uider sentence.
Oliver Spink was captured in Quidnessett, taken t.^

was the father of Oliver Spink of Wickford.

The Q^ii''l'i«?'?'*^t.t shores v7f^T»e closelj'- guarded day and

and to plunder from the patriotic citizens. The Tories
received exorbitant prices for their produce and live stock,
while the Patriots had theirs stolnn. or -^'orced from then.
At one tirie while t'le British had cvontrol of the Bay
four hundred raen ivere encaaped on the hill, a little above

A lengthy and interesting obituary wps published in the
sane paper, written, we suppose, by the !Ion. John Whipple,
of Providence, who was one of j'ds laoftt intinate friends. It
reads as follows:

"TO ijr':i3ervQ the Integrity of cori'luct nnd coneistt-noi''
of principle aiaid public conversions, when force fri'l tyranny-
set'? right nt defiance, to f^dhere to what is just and honor-
able, is the ch^r-icte?-' of a great »j\cl £;ood man; that character
belonged to -Tolnn Allen.
when o''ar £:loriou^ Revolution biuret forth in 1776,
'Ir. .Allen b'^c'^yne it"? patron and supporter. No d'^nrer coi^d
appall hira, no bribe corrupt hira, no allurements could
detach hin fro^n supporting the cause of hig injured and
bleeding country. In the sane strugjle, Av, .^ Lien was
taken av;a3^ by the eneny, and durinr^ hi« rit;oroug captivi.ty
his house and furniture were lai'l in nRhoj;^ p..nci his f-irm
stripped of all his stocK; but his Republican soul scorned
to yeild to threats, o-'^ even to the scorpion cruelties of
ruthless ener-.iy.
His fellow,' citizens appreciating his distinguished
virt'..Jes and his excellent understanding, correct judgment,
appointed hira successively to t}ie various important offices
of Legislature ?ind Judge of the f^upreiae and Judicial Court,
offices which he accepted with node'^'t diffidence, and executed
the trust with distinguished ability.
In eariy life he chose the 'one thing needful' and became
an exemplar^'' rieraber of the J'lethodist church. As he lived,
90 he died-- o. Ch-^istian. His mien inspired reppect and
on his countenance was iruP''^inted the soft smile of benignity,
63
the eraanQtlon of a 'a^jr^an, benevolent fVii-l 'r-^.r>t-txou^ heai't.
In public lire he v)as Ioiotwt for his Incorruptible integrity,
suivnty of rannners, an<l for strict qijierence to social and
benevolent vi^'tueft. As n husband, an affectionate parent,
a sl>i OH i:>H frl'^nd, he had no superior and seldom ^n ecjual.
The coMaunlty by hlis death has lost an nrilable cltisen,

be-'^o^-'e. In the sp'^lng of 1816 he unit'^d vnth the f^ix-
Prlnclple Baptist Church, subsequently v/as ord-'-ined deacon of
that church and was licensed to preach. He continued in it
a faithful servant for aboi.'.t five years, Vifh<^n he T^dthdrew
and on May 30, \Spp, joined the :^irst Baptist Church of I'lorth
Kingstovn. und'^r r?ev. wii\i.xj. North'ap, and was ordained to the
v/ork of ministry at the sajae time.
His field of labor "^.t .fl7st was at school-housen and
private dwellings, afterwards In meeting-rouses at the irtlllagep
remot'^ <^-^otz his home. Though yoijng and with but -^ limited
education, his se-^vlces were ownied !=^ind blessed of Hod in the

tinued its faitlifia .sheperd "lAntii 18'38, vl>ie■'^ he vms ohliced
to reti^-e on accoijnt of ill health.
531der Allen, ns he was early called was emphatically a
self-made nan. He was independent; he gou£rht not to please;
hut to win; his senuons were plain a)id practical, often .(Oint-
ed, and his people v^ere made the hc^tter :*'or th'^jr^.
An educated ninistr/, at the tine he ::iade his debut as
a preacher of the gospel, was looked upon v/ith .lany quapicions
by the country pecile. ^''or the want of education he applied
himself o.ilii.:ently to the stud^'' of the 55criptures and such
theolotcic^l books as v;ould aid hijQ in liis work of b^vIji^: po-uIs.
That vvas his mission. That he was succe??ful, hundreds
wlthi'i his locality i-d 11 testify, and not a few In the Judoaent
will rise up and call h\n blessed.
He was nfiVf^.-j? '■leoendent on his people for his sustenancn,
but like Paul, ministered to his necessities with his own
hands. Thourh the laborer is «=iaid to be worthy of his hire,
his labor of lo^^e and toil was seldom, if ever, requited,
perhaps froir. cboice. He was a public benefactor. He
30Ut7iit to rani.o -.lie people bottor and thoy iistenccl to his

THOMAS GOULD wae probably adnitted a freenf^n in 1645.
He wag corporal, 1644; elected to military offices in Newriort
in 1654. That sane year he was chosen one o:^ the six com-
missioners of that tovm to transact the affairs of the four
towns that then comprised the colony. He held this office
until 1660. Tf'reeraan, 1655, Mar. 2S, 1657 he bou£-ht of
Koshtosh, Indian riachem. the isl'^id called by the ''iJnslish
"Gould T'sland". In 1661 he bought a farn of three h'andi'^ed
aor'^s in 0.uidnes<?ett, in the Narragansett cointr^'' (now J'lorth
Kingstown). He doubtless built a log cabin and placed a
man there to fence in his farm and take care of it generally.
Afte?» a whdle a one-story hou=e was erected ajid additions were
made until it becane one hundred feet long. Daniel Goiad, J:
raised his familv there and so did Jeremiah, ^.i-=. son. An

Soon p.fter his settlejuent in the Narrapi^msett coi^ilry
he v'?)c; much harassed concerning the jurisdiction of hi,s farm.
The Rhode Island Colony clained the territory from Pancatuck
River to the Narragansett Bay pr.d so -did the Connecticut
Colony. For seventy ycirs (Professor Crrftene says) it wag
in dispute. Thonas Oould and Henry Tibbitts possessed famis

The f'-eneral Court ^n*? ad;journed from "Pettaquanoscut"

"Dumb Devil" v/hen he refused to b':^ led Into speech, and they
sayinf he was sir.iple and igno-^^nt, beguiled and led by others
171
laore subtle, he rvnswered: "If you thi.nk I rijr. ^inp.13'' beguiled

After we were whipped we were all led to prison, where our

In the 8th month, 1669, the Qu^irterly neetings of Nevnoort
sent hin to Maryland fo-" t'^e first tijne. He sometines rode

Thoiaas Gould night have been a dif fe:^ent Ma.i had hi i.
father b^^^n spared until he had grovm to iianh^od. The aoral
and religious training so necessary to tiie ojiild, tho boy and
the nan, was aXiiost entirely i(?iored; and the rellgi.ouB
principles so thoroiighly understood and practised, as v;oLl
IS believed in by his ancestors, v*ere never taught hl.-a-. So
^e- plodded thr-ough a long life vdth but little thought or concern
as to the great future. No doubt he saw and fully realised
190
the v/>'on£ lie ^inn aolng (ilj'isalf. n'hllH not a corrupt man,
he neglected the weighty '■lattere that make the Christian.
Nevertheless lie was a •■r^v^f intelligent nan, very in^^enioug
and witty In oDjjja-inieatlng his thou£;hts. It v,fas ve.yrr

lip*5. ^ojae of hlq neighbor? v/ere in the habit of calllnc
on htm to ll'^ten to the long reheareal of what he had seen
and experienced in the tines of the Ti'r»-;nch and Indian war,
and the v/ap of the 'Revoluti.on , laough he did not figrare nuch
in the forraer, and but ver*' little in the latter. He v/ae a
patriot an'l. loved his ccuntr?,'- , but he loved ease and comfort
too i:;uch to engage in the strife of bloody war. He vas in
the arra!/- thr«e nontjis, but a little before the battle of
Portqiiouth, his tern: of enlistiient expired a'ld he escaped that
defe^it. j'.'any of his neighbors accepted pensions for their
services, but he declined a petition as he v^aa too proud to
