AMERICAN ANCESTRY. "^

THE purpose of this work is, principally, to register in a convenient and simple form
the pedigree of any one person, and thus record for all time many important facts in
the history of families which would otherwise be lost. Another primary object is to publish
here the ancestry of a person as complete as it is known, as a means of obtaining additional
information regarding it. It is also designed to be a convenient work of reference, to show
the origin of the various American families. However indifferent some may affect to be
regarding this question of ancestry, those who have a good pedigree will usually have a
natural pride in it Many lineages must of necessity contain nothing but simple records
of uneventful generations, but they will preserve facts of great interest to descendants which
would otherwise in many cases be lost in the history of a family. The plan of the work is
somewhat similar in idea to the well-known English works, but altered to suit the conditions
of American society, and in detail is as follows:

The surname or family name is given first, with the given name, residence, birth place
and date of birth. This is followed by remarks of a brief biographical character, giving the
principal events in the individual's life, such as occupation, college degrees if any, author-
ship, public service, experiences, and if married, date, wife's name and parentage, with
remarks relating to her ancestry. If the individual whose lineage is given had brothers the
same facts may be stated respecting each of them, in order of their birth, commencing with
the eldest. This completes the first generation in tracing back the lineage. Next is given
the father's name, followed by same class of facts, and so continued back in male line as far
as can be traced. The name of son, father, grandfather, etc., in direct male line are printed
in black type. As the abbreviations are all of the most ordinary kind, it is unnecessary to
mention them here.

Miller Hayes, b. on a farm near Mont-
pelier Vt. 1782, d. in Marion O. 1849, was
the youngest of 5 ch., having sturdy
Christian parents who wisely used means
for the physical, moral and mental devel-
opment of their children, he came up to
manhood with better qualifications for
business than most men of his time, at
about the age of 21 he engaged in buying,
shipping and selling timber and lumber at
points along the St Lawrence river, both
on American and Canadian sides. This
business he continued with good success
until the outbreak of the war with Great
Britain in 1812, when, being compelled on
account of the war to abandon his lumber
business, he located at Plattsburg N. Y.
and engaged in dry goods and general
merchandise trade, in which he was quite
successful. About two years before locat-
ing in Plattsburg he married Sarah, widow
of John D. Fisk and daughter of Elijah
Herrick. He must have continued in busi-
ness in Plattsburg N Y. until about 1818,
when misfortune came to him as a result
of having signed cash obligations to a
large amount for some of his friends who
failed in business, leaving a large portion
of their debts for him to pay, and he was
left, after paying these obligations, without
sufficient means to continue his mercantile
business, so he closed it out and moved

to Tioga CO. N. Y., where he engaged in
farming and dealing in lumber.. In 1829
he left New York State and located on a
farm in Susquehanna co. Pa. near Mon-
tone. After about six years spent among
the stony hills of Pa. he found that farm-
ing could not be made profitable and be-
gan looking for a more favorable location.
Having friends in Ohio who gave him
very favorable accounts of the fertility of
the soil and of the prospect of its rapid set-
tlement and development of a State, he de-
cided to dispose of his property in Pa.
and to make the new State of Ohio his
permanent home. Having sold his prop-
erty and completed his arrangements for
his journey he started with his family.
They traveled first by team and then by
canal to Buflfalo N. Y., where they took a
steamboat for Sandusky City Ohio, where
they arrived in safety after a pleasant lake
voyage of about three (3) days. From
Sandusky they were transported by ox
team some 40 miles southwest and located
on a farm about two miles south of Mel-
more. This was in Sep. 1835. They found
the situation in Ohio very much as they
expected from the representations of their
friends. The whole State was, however,
at that time new, and the greater portion
of it unbroken wilderness, heavily tim-
bered, a large tract of land being still held
and occupied by the Wyandot Indians.
The roads, such as they were, being almost
impassable the most of the year. There
had been very little public improvement;
mills and factories were few and far be-
tween, school and church privileges very
meagre, even in the best of neighborhoods.
Many difficulties and dangers had to be
met and overcome by the pioneers, but
fortunately they, like a large portion of the
early settlers of Ohio, were men and
women of remarkable courage and enter-
prise, good morals and religious principles.
In 1837 the government obtained posses-
sion of what had been known as the
Wyandot Reservation. These lands came
into market in 1839. Chas. Miller bought
100 acres of this land, being the northeast
corner of the Reservation. In the winter

peace and a colonel in the militia, took an
active part in King Philip's war and was
in a severe action at Lancaster on July 31,
1704, " During the whole of this war,"
says Mr. Hudson, " Capt Thomas Howe
acted a conspicuous part, he not only
commanded the garrison and scouts
through the town, but led the troops to
every place of danger which presented it-
self," he was buried at Marlborough and

Mass. The Howes, who for nearly 160
years kept the *' Red Horse " or Howe
Tavern in Sudbury, made famous in Long-
fellow's poem, "The Wayside Inn," were
descendants of John through his son Col.
Samuel Howe. There used to hang there
a painting representing the coat of arms,
described in the poem. The arms were
those of the family of Charles Howe, Earl
of Lancaster. The original painting is now
in the possession of George Hubbard
Howe, a descendant of John, of Evans
Colorado. A fac-simile of this coat of
arms is printed as the frontispiece of
Nason's Howe Family Gathering. The
family tradition is that John was son of
John Howe of Warwickshire; that the lat-
ter was a son of John Howe of Hodinhull
and related to the family of Charles, Earl
of Lancaster. There are no records, how-
ever, giving positive confirmation of this
tradition. It is not known when John first
came to America, nor where he first set-
tled, but it is known that he was in Sud-
bury Mass. as early as 1638 or 1639 and
that he was one of the 47 who shared in
the division of the Sudbury lands at that
time. He was admitted freeman May 13.
1640, and in 1642 was one of the selectmen j
there. He was the first white settler of
Marlborough Mass., probably about 1657
or 1658. He was one of the first of the
selectmen there, and during his life there
he bore a prominent part in all the civil
and religious affairs of the town. " John
and his wife Mary both died in Marlbor-

ough, but the accounts vary as to the
dates of their deaths. As nearly as can
now be ascertained John died May 28,
1689, and his wife probably in 1698 or 1699

IDE FAMILY. Notes on the origin and
early history of the Ide family in
America by J. B. Nichols M. D. In this
sketch are presented the results of an in-
vestigation of the origin and early history
of an Ide family in America. All the in-
formation obtained concerning three
generations (males), and all covering the
seventeenth century, is given, together
with some further data relative to the
fourth generation. Attention will also be
directed to sources of additional informa-
tion, and a basis will, it is hoped, be af-
forded for investigations into the genealogy
of this family. The last old-country
(doubtless English) ancestor of the Amer-
ican Ide family under consideration was

I I. Nicholas Ide (or Hyde). He died
early in the seventeenth century, leaving a
son (II i) Nicholas. His widow afterward
married Thomas Bliss, of Belstone, near
Okehampton, Devonshire, England. The
latter belonged to a family of substantial
farmers and landowners of Belstone, who
by their adherence to Puritan views and
their opposition to the court and clergy
suffered persecution under the government
of Charles I and were reluctantly impelled
to emigrate to the new American colonies
and exchange the comforts of their native
land for the hardships of a new country.
Thomas Bliss emigrated to America in
1636, taking with him his stepson Nicholas
Ide, his wife (formerly Mrs. Ide), and two
or three children of their own. He joined
an uncle at Braintree (then so called), near
Boston, Massachusetts; he moved to Hart-
ford, Connecticut, in a year or so, and
back again to Weymouth, near Braintree,
about 1640. Religious dissensions arising
in the Weymouth church, a section of the
congregation, including Thomas Bliss and
his family, left the place and settled Reho-
both, Massachusetts, about 1643. Here
Thomas Bliss, who is said to have been a
blacksmith, lived until his death in June,
1649. In his will, besides two sons and

67

two daughters, he mentions Nicholas Ide
as his son-in-law, probably meaning, as is
thought by writers on the subject, his step-
son rather than the husband of a daughter;
Thomas Bliss's daughters were Nicholas
Ide's half-sisters, whom ot course he could
not marry. These details are mentioned
to show the circumstances surrounding
the early life of Nicholas Ide.

II I. Nicholas Ide, son of Nicholas, is
believed to have been born in England
early in the seventeenth century, to have
come to America with his stepfather
Thomas Bliss in 1636, to have lived with
him as shown above, in Braintree to about
1637, then in Hartford to about 1640, and
in Weymouth about i640-*43, and to have
gone with him about the autumn of 1643
as an early settler of Rehoboth, where he
lived the remainder of his life. His name
first appears in the Rehoboth records as
drawing for land April 9, 1645; he prob-
ably attained his majority about this time,
which would make the date of his birth
perhaps about 1624. He also participated
in subsequent divisions and transfers of
land in Rehoboth and Attleboro (which
lies immediately north of Rehoboth and
was settled about 1668). He was admitted
a freeman in 1648. In 1652 he was fined
twenty-five pounds by the General Court
of the colony of New Plymouth for selling
a gun to an Indian; he pleaded inability to
pay and the Court in 1657 ordered that on
payment of " the sume of five pounds in
good wampam " being provided for, the
balance of the fine should be remitted. He
was surveyor of the " highwaies " of Re-
hoboth in 1662, 1669, and 1674. He is the
only Ide that appears in lists of the free-
men of New Plymouth colony in 1658 and
1670. In the records the name is variously
spelled Hyde or Hide (in the earlier
years), lyde, Ide, lyd, and Jyde; he ap-
pears to have signed his name lyde. He
had the following children, born at Reho-
both:

III I. Nathaniel, born November 11,

was town surveyor of Attleboro in 1697,

BXnBtBOWS FAMILY. Robert Bur-
rows was the first of the name found
in Connecticut. He went from Boston or
that vicinity to settle in Wethersfield, in
the colony of Connecticut, where he
owned land in the year 1641. He with a
few others made the first settlement at
New London, Conn., after the final subju-
gation of the Pequot Indians in the year
165 1. He was rated for his ministers' tax

at New London on 246 pounds sterling
1652. He, in company with John Packer
and Robert Park, settled in Groton near
Mystic river. Burrows had a grant of " a
parcel of land between the west side of the
River and a high mountain of rocks "
dated Apr. 3, 165 1. Robert Burrows was
by appointment the first ferryman on the
Mystic River. There is the following
record: '* Goodman Burrose chosen ferry-
man for Mistic river, to ferry a horse and
a man for a groat." Robert Burrows mar-
ried, in Wethersfield about 1645, Mary,
relict of Samuel Ireland. She had two
daughters by her first husband, Mary and
Martha, whose portion of £30 each was
delivered to their stepfather Burrows by
John Latimer of Wethersfield Oct. 20,
1651. For the faithful performance of his
trust Burrows pledged his house, land and
stock at Pequonuck. Mary, the wife of
Robert Burrows, together with her first
husband, Ireland, took the oath of allegi-
ance to the Church of England at London
and came to this country on the " In-
crease " in 1635. Only two children of
Burrows have been traced, Samuel and
John. They were made freemen in the j
colony in Oct. 1669. The subsequent his- |
tory of Samuel is not known. John mar-

1 716, aged 74, it is stated in some records.

as 1699.

Married a Rockwell.

Of John Bush of Wells, Me., Dr.
Stephen Bush, D. D., of Waterford, N. Y.,
says his grandfather Abijah Bush gave
him the line back to Samuel, as it had
come down by tradition, which makes
Samuel Bush, the son of John Bush, and
Grace his wife, living in Wells, Me., then
Mass., in 1640. The records of the town
were partially destroyed by some means,
and there is no record of the children of
John and Grace. They sold and moved away
before 1650, and have not been able to trace
them. While there is little doubt that he
was the father of Samuel Bush, cannot
verify it. His age would correspond, now
supposing him to have been bom about
1650-2. His first son was born 1677. In

Gene;^ .^dward

the book of deeds of York Co., in which
"Wells" lies, it says: "George Cleeve as
agent for Rigly conveyed 400 acres of land
to John Bush, 1650." Then in 1660 there
is a deed in which John Bush and his wife
Grace conveyed his one-third interest in
land 4 miles square to Harlakenden Sy-
monds. The land had been purchased by
John Saunders, John Bush and Peter
Turbutt of Sosowen, the Sagamore of the
place. In the History of Wells, Me., by
E. Bourne, page 81, it says: " John
^ush-^ame from England May 1635, and
to Wells, Me., about 1640-2. In 1647 he
was appointed commissioner to try small
causes, and again to the same ofHce in
1655." In Vol. xiv, N. E. Historical-Gen.
Register, it says Jo (John) Bush with
many others sailed from England May 2,
1635, etc." There were other families of
Bushs, John and Elizabeth of Cambridge
about the same time beginning 1654, but
none whose age would correspond with
Samuel.

** Deserving of special notice was William
C. Todd of Atkinson. He won the first
victory in the constitutional convention,
almost single handed, on the method of
drawing seats and followed it by drawing
the best seat in the house. This gave him
a prestige which his ready wit and strong
common sense tended to increase, and it
was unusual for the convention to vote
down anything which he supported in ear-
nest. One of the amendments to be
submitted was his, and like the seat draw-
ing was carried almost without assistance,"
he established a free reading room in con-
nection with the library at Newburyport

thousand dollars with the condition that it

secutive years thereafter, and serving in
1643 as a member of a committee "to pro-
vide plans and defence against the attacks
of the Indians," and in 1645 of a committee
"to propose laws to redress present abuses
and to prevent future," and the following
year on a committee, consisting of one
for each township in the colony, appointed
to devise means for defraying the expenses,

HAflELTINE, DR. GEORGE, son of
Col. Richard and Rebecca [Gage]
Haseltine, was b. Aug. 17, 1829 at Brad-
ford Mass. His gr.-father, Amos Hasel-
tine, was the son of Amos, son of Richard,
son of Abraham, son of Robert, who was
a son of Peter, a noted puritan of York-
shire, Eng., and ancestor of Ann Hasel-
tine Judson and the wife of Sir Anthony
Trollops. The son, Robert, came to Row-
ley Mass., where he was m. Oct. 23, 1639,
and ten years later, with his brother John,
became a first settler of Bradford. These
brothers are ancestors of all Americans
who have inherited the name of Haseltine.
The mother of Dr. Haseltine, a gr.-dau.
of an officer of the revolution, was a
relative of the London banker, George
Peabody, and Minots of Mass. Dr. Hasel-
tine graduated at Dartmouth coll. in
1854, with fifty-seven classmates by whom
he was elected orator and first president>
as stated in the class history, serving
twenty-five years. He received the degree
of LL.B. in 1856 from the univ. of Al-
bany and commenced the practice of law
in St. Louis. In 1857 he received the de-
gree of M.A. from his college and visited
Eng. to conduct a law suit, involving
large interests, which was won two years
later. He was engaged, 1860-62, as editor
of the London American and his editorials
which were extensively quoted by the
British press, were pronounced by the
American Minister, Hon. Chas. Francis
Adams, unsurpassed by those of the London
Times. In 1862 he commenced the practice
of patent-law and in 1865 established a
patent firm, that secured a patronage un-
rivalled in Europe and gained a world-wide
reputation. He was summoned in 1870 by
the " parliamentary select committee "
to give evidence on patent laws that ap-
peared in various publications, and '' was
made," says an eminent German attorney,
" the basis of discussions by our technical
societies that led to the reform of the Ger-
man patent system." In 1872 he was elec-
ted a member of the British Society of
Arts and received the degree of LL.D from
the Chicago univ. He was a promoter

and active member of the Vienna patent
congress. Gen'l John Eaton, a classmate,
who visited London in 1873, states that
" Dr. Haseltine had won the position of
leader in the patent reform movement, and
among his friends were the most eminent
of English Barristers." The reforms he
favored were embodied in a patent bill
that was introduced in the house of com-
mons by Attorney-General Sir John Hol-
ker. He conducted with unusual success,
as shown by the reports, many patent cases
before the law officers of the crown. Dr.
Haseltine retired from the London firm, of
which he was the head, in 1876 and came to
New York where he established a firm that
acquired a foreign patent practice un*
equalled in America. He is a member of
Psi Upsilon Club, and a life member of
the New England Society.
