FOREWORD.
For many years the author has devoted much time
and study to everything which our Genealogical librar-
ies contain in reference to our common ancestors; in
addition, has also spent much time and effort in corres-
pondence with various branches of our family to ob-
tain unpublished data and family records, that all
might be properly arranged for reference by this and
future generations.
Reward has come in the finding of data sufficient to
make an authentic history of our forebears, and to give
to each descendant, his or her proper place on the fam-
ily tree.
It is a great pleasure to be able to present to you
who find your names upon its branches, a glimpse of
the lives of our forefathers, and to trace your descent
and mine, from these valiant men and women. It is
my hope that each one who reads what has been col-
lected together in these pages, will be imbued with a
desire to visit the ancient homes of his ancestors, and
to so familiarize himself or herself with the full history
of the colonial and revolutionary epochs with which
they were connected, that they may fully appreciate
the part played by their forebears in the founding and
perpetuation of America.
Wherever possible, authority for records is given, so
that this book may be found reliable in the prepara-
tion of application papers for ancestral societies.
The author wishes to acknowledge her appreciation
of the assistance rendered by those who spared no ef-
fort to procure the family records so kindly contrib-
uted.

James
Across the sea, the name of James is associated with
history and events of more than passing interest. From
an article upon the James family recently published by
the Frank AUaben Genealogical Co., we make the fol-
lowing extract: ''One branch of the family traces its
pedigree back to the Lady Godiva of Tennyson's poem."
A line of baronets of the name of James, originally bore
the name of Haestricht, the designation of an ancient
lordship near Utrecht, Holland.
Roger, son of Jacob von Haestricht, went to Kent,
England, in the time of Henry VIH, and was known by
the name of Roger Jacob, or Roger, son of Jacob, which
was finally changed to its English equivalent of James.
In Pembrokeshire, there is a tradition that an estate
there was owned by thirteen successive proprietors, all
bearing the name of William James. Langley Hall, in
Berkshire, is one James home ; while branches of the
family have been well represented in Dorset, Somerset,
Lancaster, Essex, Kent and Worcester, In our own
country, the family has been prominent in Virginia,
Pennsylvania, New Jersey and the New England
states."
A few years ago a chart of the James family was
purchased, hoping that it would afford some clue to
the ancestry of Captain John James. While appar-
ently without special interest for us, the several divis-
ions of the James family were outlined, a brief sketch
of which may not be out of place. One John James
founded a family in Montgomery county, Pa, Abel
James, who may have been his descendant, was a mer-
chant of Philadelphia, and married Rebecca Chalkley.
Their son, Chalkley James, was the founder of the
Pennsylvania Historical Society. •
Philip Jamos, of Hingham, Mass, through his son
Francis, left a large posterity.
William B. James, of Vermillion county, Ind., mar-
ried Elizabeth Duling and was the grand father of
Edmund J. James, of Philadelphia, president of the
American Academy of Political and Social Service.
John James of Deerfield, N. II., also left numerous
descendants.
Since we know that our ancestor, Capt. John James,
came from Exeter, R. I., it seems only fair to suppose
that he was connected with some of the many James
families who were early settlers of that state. The
name was a common one at Newport, where we find
record of one AVilliam James who married Susanna
Martin, December 10, 1677. Record is also found of
one John James of Newport, "son of William and Sus-
annah James," who married Lydia Peckham, of Little
Compton, February 12, 1729.
Among the birth records is found one of John
James, "son of John and Lydia James, of Newport,"
who was born August 2, 1731. These records are prob-
ably taken from the South-Kingston meeting house.
Another "John James, son of John" married first,
Margaret , and by her had several child-
ren. He was of Richmond, R. I., where there were
many James'. There is a family tradition to the effect
that our Captain John James was twice married, and
it is possible that he is identical with our ancestor;
and that he may have removed from Richmond to Exe-
ter, only a few miles away.
It is said that in Wales, there were two families of
James, one of which was known as the "Little James"
6
and the other was designated as the "Big James"
tribe. It is impossible to say from which one of the
various James families referred to, our ancestor, Cap-
tain John James, is descended.
From his stature and that of his sons, we might sur-
mise that he was of the "Big James" tribe. However
all that we really know of his history previous to his
marriage at Preston, Connecticut, to Esther Denison, is
the statement contained in the marriage record, that
he was "formerly of Exeter, Ehode Island." A visit
to Exeter, and an examination of the early records of
that township, showed the residence there of various
families of the name of James ; and mention is made of
a John James, "the son of John and Susannah James,"
who may have been the one for whom we sought.
However, no more definite information was ob-
tained, and it is very doubtful if we shall ever know
anything further of his antecedents.
After his marriage to Esther Denison, he con-
tinued to live in New London county, Connecticut, and
the births of his children aie all found upon the town
records of Preston.
He was living there at the beginning of the Revo-
lutionary war, and we find from the records of Con-
necticut, that he was one of the men who "marched
from Connecticut to\vns at the Lexington alarm."
• The author recently prepared an historical article
which was published in both the Connecticut Magazine
and the Journal of American History.
The next few years of the life of Captain James
and his family were portrayed therein and this article
is therefore included in its original form.

"CONNECTICUT AND THE BUILDING OF THE EM-
PIRE OF THE OLD NORTHWEST.
Story of the First Connecticut Pioneers who Sacrificed
Their Lives in Darkest America — Driving Back
the Barbarians and Laying the Foun-
dation of a Great Dominion.
By Mrs. Clara Paine Ohler,
Great granddaughter of Captain John James and his
wife, Esther Denison, who were in the first Indian
Massacres in the Old Northwest."
"Some time ago there appeared in the pages of
The Connecticut jMagazine an article by Mabel Cassine
Holman upon the 'Hive of the Averys' and its builder,
Captain James Avery, one of the pioneers of Connect-
icut.
"Many descendants of Captain Avery, no doubt,
enjoyed the well written sketch, and were grateful
to Miss Holman for the painstaking research which
resulted in so satisfactory a portrayal of the life and
deeds of their ancestors.
"Of these, none, I am sure, were more appre-
ciative readers than one in the distant state of Ohio;
distant not only in sense of miles, but of years as well ;
for more than a century has elapsed since my forebears
left the fine old state of Connecticut and turned their
steps westward toward an unknown land.
"Perhaps we, of the present generation, have
gained thereby in some respects, but in others, at
least, we have been losers; for the family traditions,
which are the natural heritage of those who live in their
ancestral state, are necessarily lost to us whose ances-
tors have, for several generations, been far removed,
and we are only beginning, as a people, to renew our
8
acquaintance with old New England through the me-
dium of historical and genealogical writings, such as
the sketch contributed by Miss Holman.
It is through the pleasure and benefit received from
such writings that I am tempted to hope an exchange
of narratives may result in mutual pleasure, and that
the story of a Connecticut woman, a descendant of Cap-
tain Avery, who became a pioneer of the Old North-
west Territory may be read with interest.
"Side by side with Captain James Avery fought
another warrior who is prominently identified with the
early history of Connecticut, — Captain George Denison.
"Coming from England when a young man, he
lived for a time at Roxbury, ^Massachusetts, but re-
turned to his native country and took service under
Cromwell. He fought at the battle of Marston Moor
and was afterwards taken prisoner, but got free and
married an English girl. Miss Ann Borodell, and with
her returned to New England, in the year 1645, locat-
ing for a time at Roxbury, Massachusetts, but finally
removing with his family to Stonington, Connecticut,
where he remained until his death, in 1694.
"We learn from the records of ilassachusetts and
Connecticut that "Captain George Denison was not
only distinguished as a civilian, but became the most
distinguished soldier of Connecticut in her early settle-
ment, except perhaps Captain John Mason. '"*
"In addition to their distinguished military serv-
ices, both Captain Avery and Captain Denison served
many terms as deputies to the General Court, and it is
safe to assume that the association of the two men
led to a lasting friendship between them.
"Captain Avery lived to see a closer tie than that
of friendship unite two of their descendants, for we
find, that, in the year 1698, William Denison, grandson
9
of Capt. George Denison, and Mary Avery, granddaugh-
ter of Capt. James Avery, were united in the holy bonds
of matrimony. To this couple were born twelve children,
one of whom, a son named William, was born in 1705.
He married January 1, 1737, Hannah Tyler, daughter
of Captain James Tyler. Eight children were born to
"William and Hannah (Tyler) Denison, one of whom
was a daughter named Esther, whose future was
destined to be closely identified with the trials of
New England during the revolution, and later, with
those of the Northwest Teritory during years of Indian
warfare.
•'Esther Denison was born on April 23, 1746, prob-
ably in the town of North Stonington. Of her early
life we know little except that in 1763, at the age of
seventeen, she was married to John James, and that
they afterward lived both in North Stonington and
Preston, Connecticut. Of this period of her life, little
more is known, at least to the writer, except that she
became a member of the Preston Congregational church
in 1767.
"Soon after her marriage came the stirring times
preceding the Revolutionary War, and when the call
to arms was sounded, we find the name of John James
among the "Minute Men" from Connecticut who re-
. sponded to the "Lexington Alarm."
"We find him again enrolled as "sergeant" at the
siege of New London, and feel sure that his life was
devoted to the cause of liberty all through the strug-
gle for independence, and that he was aided and en-
couraged in every way possible by his wife, whose
patriotism in those trying times we know was worthy
of her lineage.
"The close of the Revolutionary War was followed
by a period of reconstruction and was a natural time
10
for the soldiers of the army to make radical changes;
hence the movement to organize what was known as
the 'Ohio Company' found ample support in the New
England states.
"It is nearly a century and a quarter since Gen-
eral Rufus Putnam and his brother officers met at the
'Bunch of Grapes' tavern in Boston on April 25, 1786,
and organized the 'Ohio Company of Associates,' and
it is a matter of history that ]\Ianasseh Cutler, of Con-
necticut, 'representing soldiers of the Revolutionary
Army organized as the Ohio Company of Associates,
purchased from the board of treasury of the United
States, on authority granted by the Continental Con-
gress, July 27, 1787, a million and a half acres of
those waste and vacant lands.'
"The first body of settlers, forty-eight in number,
headed by General Rufus Putnam, landed at the mouth
of the Muskingum River, on April 7, 1788, and chris-
tened their new home in honor of the French queen.
Marietta.
"This has come to be known as the landing of
the 'Mayflower II,' and has been made the subject of
song and story almost as often as its famous pred-
ecessor.
"General St. Clair, first governor of the North-
west Territory, arrived at Fort Ilarmar on July 9, 1788,
and upon his official entry into Marietta, on July 10th,
civil government was established.
"For a detailed account of these early settlers,
I am indebted to Dr. Hildreth, ,their first historian.
From his ancient records I learn that, during the
first winter of their occupation of the Northwest Ter-
ritory, the directors of the Ohio Company sent out ex-
ploiting partes to examine their purchase,
"They reported a fine tract of land on the right
11
bank of the Ohio river commencing near the mouth of
the Kanawha River and extending down the Ohio
four or five miles. It included a rich strip of bottom
land about three miles in length by one-third of a mile
in width. This was divided into farms about forty
rods wide and extending back to the hills which rose
to an elevation of a hundred feet in the background.
"This beautiful spot was named 'Belle-prairie' or
'Beautiful meadow,' but the name has been shortened
by usage into Belpre.
"The second settlement was composed of about
forty associates, the largest portion of whom had
served as officers in the Revolutionary "War, and when
the army disbanded, retired with a brevet promotion.
"To a stranger, it seemed curious that every house
he passed should be occupied by a commissioned offi-
cer. It is said that 'No settlement ever formed west
of the mountains contained so many men of real merit,
sound practical sense, and refined manner.
" 'They had been in the school of Washington
and were nearly or quite all of them, acquainted with
that great and good man. All of the families in
the Belpre settlement had received the advantage of
the common schools in New England and some had
been more liberally educated. They were habituated
to industry and economy and brought up under the in-
fluence of morality and religion. They had been se-
lected to lead their countrymen to battle and to defend
their rights, not for their physical strength, but for
their moral standing and superior intellect.
" *In addition to these advantages they had also
received a second education in the Army of the Revo-
lution, where they heard the precepts of wisdom and
witnessed the examples of bravery and fortitude,
learning at the same time, the necessity of subordina-
12
tion to law and good order in promoting the happi-
ness and prosperity of mankind.' (From manuscript
notes of Judge Barker.)
"Most of the Belpre associates passed the first
winter in Marietta, moving onto their farms in the
spring of 1789 ; several families, however, did not
occupy their lands imtil the following year. The Ohio
Associates came from New England in four compan-
ies, several months apart, and covering in all about
two years.
"In the last company I find my great grandfather,
Captain John James, and family. The latter consisted
of his wife, Esther Denison James, and ten children,
"The settlement of Belpre consisted at this time
of the forty families before mentioned, who lived in
log houses near the river bank; into one of these
Captain James and his family moved and began the life
of pioneers. The immense forest trees were cut down
and a rail fence was built in the rear of the fields
to protect the crops from the cattle. The houses were
connected by paths which ran through the fields, and
a number of springs of pure water afforded comfort
to the settlers.
"Scarcely were they thus comfortably housed
than they were brought face to face with a famine
caused by the rotting of the crops, and the history of
the 'starving time' of the Pilgrims in Old Plymouth
was repeated on the banks of the Ohio. No sooner had
this calamity been overcome than the settlers were
asasiled by one yet more dire.
"From the records of Washington county we learn
that a new association had been formed in the fall of
1790, locating upon a tract of land known as 'Big
Bottom,' which had attracted attention from its great
beauty and richness.
13
"This association numbered thirty-six members,
only eigliteen, however, going originally to the new
settlement. All of these were young men with the ex-
ception of a hunter who accompanied them, taking
with him his wife and children. Among the number
was William James, a son of Captain James,
"The older members of the settlement tried in
vain to dissuade them from making the venture, be-
lieving that the Indians were inclined to be hostile.
Unheeded, however, were the warnings, and a block-
house of good dimensions was erected upon the banks
of the Muskingum River, several miles distant from the
other settlements. Two cabins were also built about
twenty rods from the block-house, one occupied by
Francis and Isaac Choate, and the other by Eleazer
Bullard and his brother Asa.
""With all the rashness of youth and inexperience,
the young men, believing that they were safe from any
possible attack by the Indians in the ^vinte^ season,
failed to enclose their block-house with palisades, or
make any system of defense, such as the setting of sen-
tinels to watch for danger. By their carelessness, they
thus brought upon themselves the attack which is
known as the 'Massacre of Big Bottom,' and which
was followed by years of Indian warfare. The fol-
lo^\^ng account of the massacre is taken from the his-
tory of "Washington county:
"One evening, in the winter of 1790-1791, the in-
mates of the block-house were gathered around the
large fire place. Some were engaged in preparing the
evening meal, while others warmed themselves by the
genial blaze, when the door was thrown suddenly open,
and a volley of musketry poured death into their midst.
Several fell lifeless to the floor, while one, Zebulon
Throop, who was bending over a frying pan in which
14
he was cooking venison for supper, sank down upon
the blazing logs. The shots were fired from without,
while one of the Indians, who had burst the door, held
it open.
"No sooner had the guns been emptied than,
with a fiendish yell, the savages leaped through the
smoke to finish with their tomahawks the butchery
begun with powder and ball. So sudden and so fierce
was the onslaught that little resistance could be made,
and one after another the inmates of the block-house
were dispatched. Only one Indian was wounded and
he by the wife of the hunter. She had witnessed the
brutal slaying of her children ; had seen them scalped
and thrown into the blazing fire, and, with the courage
of a madman, she seized an axe and struck wildly at
one of the murderers.
"The blow came near proving fatal at the instant,
but was quickly avenged by the companion of the
assaulted one, who, coming up behind her, as the
woman was again raising the heavy axe to strike, cleft
her skull with his tomahawk. The air was filled with
the wild yells of the Indians, the moans of the dying,
the agonizing shrieks and the supplications of those
on whom the cruel death-blow had not yet descended.
"All were quickly dispatched except Philip, a
son of Colonel William Stacey, who, during the excite-
ment of the massacre, had cowered down in a corner
of the room and pulled some bedclothes over himself.
He was discovered by an Indian who was searching
for articles of plunder. As soon as his hiding place
was revealed, a tomahawk was raised to kill him and
the terrified boy, who then threw himself at the feet
of the murderer, would have been dispatched in spite
of his piteous en+reaties if another Indian had not inter-
posed and saved him.
15
"Besides the boy, only two men who occupied
one of the cabins near by, escaped. The names of the
killed were as follows. Ezra Putnam, Zebulon Throop,
John Stacey, John Camp, Jonathan Farewell, James
Couch, John Clark, "William James, Isaac Meeks, his
wife and children.
"Two days after the massacre Captain Rogers led
a company of men to, Big Bottom. They met a com-
pany from ]Marietta headed by Anselm Tupper, and
together they found that the Indians, after taking the
lives of the twelve pioneers, had pulled up the floor-
ing, piled it over the bodies of their victims, and set
fire to the whole.
"The block-house had not long been built, was
constructed of birch logs and had been only partially
consumed. ]\Iost of the bodies, however, were so dis-
figured by the tomahawks and the fire as to be unrec-
ognisable. William James' remains were identified by
his great size. He had measured six feet, four inches
in stature and was of massive build.
"The ground being frozen very hard, a grave was
dug within the walls of the block-house, where it had
been prevented from freezing by the fire, and there
the victims of the savages were buried side by side
as they had fallen, and the charred charnel house re-
mained in the now solitary and soundless forest as a
grim shelter from the rain and snow — a desolate mon-
ument to the memory of the brave, unfortunate pion-
eers who slept beneath it, and a landmark to the hunter
or scout, who passing it afar off, had a horrible sug-
gestion of the fate which might be his.
"No attempt was again made to form a settlement
here, until after the Greenville Treaty of 1795, for the
ma.ssaere was the 'bloodiest in the annals of the first
settlement of Ohio and it not only terrified the inhab-
16
itants of Marietta and P>elpre. but sent a thrill of
horror into all oi' the l)order settlements of Virginia
and Pennsylvania, wliii-h left thoin. accustomed as they
were to Indians atrocities, tilled with foreboding for
many a^ day.'
"Meanwhile word of the massacre had been carried
to Marietta, and I now quote at length from the long-
neglected records of Dr. llildreth :
'The county seat of quarter sessions met at ]\Iar-
ietta on the first ]^[onday in January. A considerable
amount of the most active men were called there to
attend as jurors, witupsses. etc. As it was a laborious
task to get there by wnter. in canoes, many of them
went up on Saturday and Sunday preceding. The
court l^ad barely opened Monday, when word was
brought of the sacking and slaughter of Big Bottom.
It was immediately adjourned and the men returned
to their homes full of anxiety for the fate of their
own families. Notices had been sent to the sr "^lers at
Belpre from "Wolf Creek 3Iills at the same ^e it was
sent to ^Marietta. The woman and ch:" en suffered
much from fear, expecting eery hour that the Indians
would attack them.
"The inhabitants were scattered along the river
bank, living in their log cabins, without any prepara-
tion f<3r defense, not expecting an Indian war, as a
treaty had been made Avitb them only two years be-
fore. Captain Jonathan Stone, at the upper settlement
had built a small block-house for his dwelling, and
into this all tlie wompn and children were gathered
on Monday night. On Tuesday there was a general
muster of all the heads of families, to consult on what
was best to be done. They decided on collecting them
all together, about thirty in number, at the middle
settlement, where Colonel Cushing and Colonel Bat-
I 17
telle had already built two large log houses, and erected
a spacious, strong, and well arranged garrison, suffi-
cient for tJie accommodation of all the inhabitants.
The spot selected was on the bank of the river, about
half a mile below the 'Bluff,' and nearly against the
center of Backus' Island. A swamp about six rods
back from the Ohio, protected its rear, while the
river defended the front. The upper and lower ends
opened into a smooth, level bottom, suitable for a road
by which to enter or depart from the garrison. The
work was commenced the first week in January, and
was prosecuted with the utmost energy, as their lives,
apparently, depended on its completion.
"As fast as the block-houses were built, the fam-
ilies moved into them. They were thirteen in number,
arranged in two rows, with a wide street between.
The basement story was in general twenty feet square,
and the upper twenty-two fe.et, thus projecting over
the lower one, and forming a defense from which to
protect the doors and windows below, in an attack
They were built of round logs a foot in diameter, and
the interstices nicely chinked and pointed with mortar
The doors and window shutters were made of thick
oak planks or puncheons, and secured with stout bars
of wood on the inside. The large timbers were hauled
with ox-teams, of which they had several yokes, while
the li-hter for the roofs, gates, etc., were dragged
along on hand sleds by men. The drawing was much
facilitated by a few inches of snow which covered the
ground. The pickets were made of quartered oak
timber growing on the plain back of the garrison,
formed from trees about a foot in diameter, fourteen
feet in length, and set four feet deep in the ground
leaving them ten feet high, over which no enemy could
mount without a ladder. The smooth side was set

outward, and the palisades strengthened and kept in
their places by stout ribbons, or wall pieces, pinned to
them with three-inch nails on the inside. The spaces
between the houses were filled up with pickets, and
occupied three or four times the width of th houses,
forming a continuous wall or inclosure, about eighty
rods in length and six rods wide. The palisades on
the river side, filled the whole space and projected
over the edge of the bank leaning on rails and posts
set to support them. They were sloped in this manner
for the admission of air during the heat of summer.
Gates of stout timber were placed in the east and west
ends of the garrison, opening in the middle, for the
egress and ingress of teams and to take in the cattle
in an attack. A still wider gate opened near the center
of the back wall, for the hauling in of wood, and all
were secured with strong, heavy bars. Two or three
smaller ones, called water gates, were placed on the
river side, as all their water was procured from the
Ohio. "When there were signs of Indians discovered by
the spies, the domestic animals were driven within the
gates at night. At sunset all the avenues were closed.
"Every house was filled with families; and as
new settlers arrived occasionally during the war, some
houses contained three or four. The corner block-
houses, on the back side of the garrison, were pro%'ided
with watch towers, running up eight feet above the
roof, where a sentry was constantly kept. AYhen the
whole was completed, the inmates of the station called
it "Farmer's Castle," a name very appropriate, as it
w^as built and occupied by farmers. The directors
of the Ohio Company,, with their characteristic bene-
ficence, paid the expense of erecting three of the block-
houses, and the money was distributed among the
laborers. The view of the castle from the Ohio Kiver
19
was very picturesque and imposing ; looking like a small
fortified city amidst the surrounding wilderness. Dur-
ing the war, there were about seventy able bodied
men mustered on the roll i'or military duty, and the
place assumed that of a regular besieged fort, as in
fact it was a great portion of the time, the Indians
watcliiug in sjnall parties, more or less constantly, for
a chance to kill or capture inhabitants when they least
expected it. At sunrise the roll was called by the or-
derly sergeant, and if any man had overslept in the
morning, or neglected to answer to his name, the
penalty was fixed at the cutting out of a stump of a
tree to the level with the ground, they being scattered
thickly over the surface inclosed with the castle. This
penalty was rigidly exacted, so that few stumps re-
mained at the close of tlie war. A regidar commander
was appointed, with suitable subalterns.
"Major Nathan Goodale was the first captain, and
held that post until he moved into his own garrison
in 1793, when Colonel Gushing took the command. The
flag staff stood a few yards west of the back gate,
near the house of Colonel Cushing, on which floated the
stars and stripes of the Union. Near the flag staff was
a large iron howitz, or swivel gun, mounted on a
plaform incased in wood, hooped with iron bands and
painted to resemble a six pounder. It was so adjusted
as to revolve on a socket, and thus point to any part
of the works. During the spring and .summer months,
when there was any probability of Indians being in the
vicinity, it was fired regularly, morning and evening.
It could be heard distinctly for several miles around,
especially up and down the Ohio ; the banks and hills
adjacent, re-echoing the report in a wonderful manner.
This practice no doubt kept the Indians in awe, and
warned them not to approach a post whose inmates
20
were habitually watchful, and so well prepared to de-
feud theuiselves. Around this spot it was customary
for the loungers and newcomers to assemble, to discuss
the concerns of the castle and tell the news of the day,
while passing away the many idle hours that must
necessarily fall to the lot of a community confined to
such narrow limits. It was also the rallying point in
case of an assault, and the spot where the muster roll
was called morning and evening. The spies and ran-
gers here made report of the discoveries to the com-
mandant; in short it was the 'place d'armes' of Farm-
ers' Castle.
"In the upper room of every house was kept a large
cask, or hogs-head, constantly filled with water, to be
used only in case of a fire, either from accident, or
from an attack by the Indians. It was a part of the
duty of the officer of the day to inspect every house,
and see that the cask was well filled. Another duty
was to prevent any stack of grain or fodder being
placed so near the castle as to endanger the safety of
the buildings, should the Indians set them on fire, or
ailord a shelter in time of assault. They also inspected
the gates, pickets, and houses, to see that all were in
repair and well secured at night. Theyreceived de-
spatches from abroad, and sent out expresses to other
stations. Their authority was absolute, and the gov-
ernment strictly military.
''No people ever paid more attention to the edu-
cation of their children, than the descendants of the
Puritans. One of the first things done by the settlers
of Belpre, after tliey had erected their own log dwell-
ings, was to make provision for teaching their chil-
dren the rudiments of learning, reading, writing and
arithmetic. Pathsheba Rouse, the daughter of John
Rouse, one of the emigrants from near New Bedford,
21
Mass., was employed in the summer of 1789, to teach
the small children, and for several subsequent sum-
mers, she taught a school in Farmers' Castle. She is
believed to the first female who ever kept a school
within the present bounds of Ohio. During the win-
ter months, a male teacher was employed for the larger
boys and young women. Daniel Mayo was the first
teacher in Farmers' Castle. He came from Boston, a
young man, in the family of Colonel Battelle, in the
fall of the year 1788, and was a graduate of Cam-
bridge University. The school was kept in a large
room of Colonel Battelle 's block-house. He was a
teacher for several winters, and during the summer
worked at clearing and cultivating his lot of land.
He married a daughter of Colonel Israel Putnam, and
after the war, settled at Newport, Kentucky, where
his descendants now live. Jonathan Baldwin, another
educated man, also kept school a part of the time dur-
ing their confinement in garrison. These schools had
no public funds as at this day to aid them, but were
supported from the hard earnings of the honest
pioneers.
"The larger portion of the time during the war,
religious services were kept up on the Sabbath, in
Farmers' Castle, by Colonel E. Battelle. The people
asesmbled at the large lower room in his block-house,
which was provided with seats. Notice was given of
the time when the exercises began by his son, Ebenezer,
then a lad of fifteen or sixteen years old, and a drum-
mer to the garrison, marching the length of the castle,
up and down, beating the drum. The inmates under-
stood the call as readily from the 'Tattoo,' as from the
sound of a bell; and generally attended regularly. The
meeting was opened with prayer, sometimes read from
the church service, and sometimes delivered extempore,
22
followed by singing, at which all the New Englanders
were more or less proficient. A sermon was then read
from the writings of some standard divine, and the
meeting closed with singing and prayer. There was
usually but one service a day. Occasionally, during
the war, the Rev. Daniel Story visited them and
preached on the Sabbath; but these calls were rare,
owing to the danger of intercourse between the set-
tlements from the Indians. After the war his attend-
ance was more regular, about once a month ; on the
three other Sabbaths, religious services were still kept
up by Colonel Battelle, at a house erected on the
'Bluff,' which accommodated both the upper and mid-
dle settlements, until the time of their being able to
build other and more convenient places of worship.
This holy day was generally observed and honored by
the inhabitants ; but not with that strictness common in
New England. Very few of the leading men at that
day were members of any church ; yet all supported re-
ligion, morality and good order.

"In No. 12 lived Benjamin Patterson, wife and
six children, three of the rangers, or spies, who were
27
single men, viz : Jolm Shepard, George Kerr and ]\Iath-
e\v Kerr. This man, Patterson, served as a spy three
years for the settlement at Belpre, and then moved
doAvn the river, lie came j:rom Wyoming, in Penn-
sylvania.
"At the period of the controvers}"" between the
state of Pennsylvania and Connecticut, relative to their
contiicting claims to land on the Susquehanna river,
congress appointed Timothy Pickering, of Salem,
Massachusetts, a man of Spartan integrity, to go upon
the ground and with others try to adjust the difficulty.
"While there, this same B. Patterson, with two other
men took Mr. Pickering from his bed at night, and
conveyed him three or four miles into the woods, and
bound him fast to a white oak sapling, and left him
there to die of starvation. After two or three days,
Patterson's conscience so worried him that he relented,
and unknown to his companions, he went and unboiuid
him, setting him at liberty. For this outrage he left
"Wyoming, and fled to the state of New York, and
from thence, after a time, to Marietta. It was not
uncommon for such persons to visit the new settle-
ments ; but finding their characters after a time fol-
lowing on after them they proceeded further do-v\Ti the
river. (MS. Notes of Judge Barker.)
"Benoni Hurlburt, wife and four children lived
in the same house at the time of his death. His family
settled in Amestown, Athens county, where his de-
scendants now live.
"No. 13. Colonel Alexander Oliver, wife and
eleven chldren, from the west part of Massachusetts,
viz: Launcelot, a young man, Alexander, John and

28
western part of Ohio. The daughters were named,
and married as follows, viz: Liicretia, to Levi Munsel,
and lived several years in i\Iarietta ; his son Leander,
was the first man born in Ohio who had a seat in the
legislature. Betsy, to Honorable Daniel Symraes, of
Cincinnati ; he was the first register in the United
States land office at that place. Sally, married to Major
Austin, of the United States army, and settled in Cin-
cinnati. Lucretia, to George Putnam, son of Colonel
Israel Putnam. ^Mehala, to Calvin Shepard, son of
Colonel Shepard, of Marietta. He was cashier of the
Miami Exporting Company Bank, and his son, R. 0.
is said to be the first preacher in the ^Methodist church
who was boru in Ohio. He is now an elder. Mary, to
Oliver Wing, of Adams, in this county. The descend-
ants of Colonel Oliver rank with the most active, use-
ful and wealthy citizens of Ohio.
"In No. 13 also lived Daniel Bent, wife and four
children, from Rutland, Massachusetts, viz : Nahum,
Daniel, Dorcas, and one other daughter married to Joel
Oaks, of Xewbury. Dorcas married AVilliam Dana, of
Newport. Some of their descendants are living in
this county, and some in Missouri. Silas Bent, Esq.,
the oldest son of the colonel, and wife, also lived there
with two or three children. He was one of the judges
of the common pleas, appointed by Governor St. Clair.
After the purchase of Louisiana he removed to St. Louis,
and was employpd ir c^-;r-'-.;-5-cr th^^ Ignited States
lands. One of his sons became the head of a fur
trader's company, and established a fort high up on
the Arkansas river. Elijah Pixley, wife and two chil-
dren from "Wyoming. He served a part of the time
as drummer for the garrison, and was a celebrated
maker of drums, using for this purpose a block of
sassafras wood/ which made a ver>' light and neat
article.
29
"Several other families lived in Farmers' Castle
for a short time and then proceeded down the river;
but the above list contains nearly all the permanent
and substantial head of families who settled in Belpre
in 1789 and 1790.
"Joshua Fleehart, wife, and four children, lived in
a small cabin east of block-house No. 3. He was a noted
hunter, and supplied the g:arrison with fresh meat.
Soon after the war closed, he moved nearer to the
frontiers, where he could follow huntingr and trapping
to better advantage. One of his hunting adventures is
related in the transactions of the year 1794.
'During the long and tedious confinement of the
inhabitants of the garrison, various were the modes
sought out to make the time pass as happily as their
circumstances would allow. The sports of the young
men and boys consisted of games at ball, foot races,
wrestling, and leaping, at all of which the larger num-
ber were adepts. Foot races were especially en-
couraged, that it might give them an advantage in
their contests with the Indians. Those of a more re-
fined character, in which both sexes could participate,
consisted chiefly in dancing. Parties of young people
from Campus ]\Iartius and Fort Harmar used to come
down as often as four or five times a year, and join
in their festivities. These visits were made by water,
in a barge or large row boat, attended by a guard of
soldiers from the fort. They brought musicians with
them, who were attached to the military service. A
player on the violin, from Gallipolis, named Vansan,
one of the French emigrants, was celebrated for his
musical talents, and always accompanied the young
men from that place in their visits to Farmers' Castle,
where they were very welcome \asitors. It is true, they
did not always abound in nice cakes and rich wines;
30
but they treated their guests with the best they had,
while the hilarity and cheerful looks of the company
made amends for all besides.
"The garrison at Belpre contained about twenty
young females in the prime of life, with fine persons,
agreeable manners, and cultivated minds. A danger-
ous recreation of the younger girls was to steal out
of the castle in the pleasant moonlight evenings of
summer, and taking possession of a canoe, push it
silently up the Ohio, for a mile or more ; then paddle
out into the middle of the river and float gently down
with the current. Some favorite singer then struck up
a lively song, in which all joined their voices, making
sweet melody on the calm waters of the "Belle
Riviere," greatly to the delight of the young men and
guards on the watch towers, but much to the alarm of
their mothers, who were always in fear of the Indians.
But their young and cheerful hearts thought little of
the danger, but much of the amusement on the water,
and a brief escape from the confinement within the
walls of the garrison,
"Promenading up and down the smooth broad
avenue between the rows of block-houses, about eighty
rods in extent, was also another favorite summer even-
ing recreation for the young people, while the elder
ones gathered in cheerful groups at each other's dwel-
lings, to chat on their o^^^l affairs, or the news of the
day, collected as it might be from the passing boats, or
the rangers in their visits to the other garrisons.
Newspapers, they had few or none of, until some years
after the war, the first printed in Marietta being in
1802, with the exception of a chance one sent out from
a friend east of the mountains, by some moving family.
After a mail route was established in 1794, they were
more common. Early in autumn, partes of the young
31
folks visited the islaml, on which several families
resided, for the pui'pose of gathering grapes, papaws,
nuts, etc. On the heads of the island, at that day,
there grew a very fine. rich, red grape, said to liave
been scattered tlu're from seeds left there by the early
French voyagers; it is however probable they were a
native variety, fitted to grow in a sandy soil. The
ground beneath the lofty trees was but little encum-
bered with bushes, and afforded beautiful walks, when
there was no danger from the lurking savages, whose
swarthy visages were mingled more or less with the
thoughts of their most cheerful hours.
"The -Ith of July was regularly celebrated in a
bowery within the walls of the garrison, where the
old officers and soldiers of the revolution again re-
counted the trials and hardships of that eventful period
over a flowing bowl of whisky punch, while the report
of their little noisy howitz awoke the echoes among
the neighboring hills, at the announcement of each
patriotic toast. A celebration of this glorious day with-
out gunpowder or punch, would at that time have been
called a burlesque.
"The last of February, 1795, about ten months
after the massacre of Armstrong's family, Jonas Davis.
a young man from ^lassachusetts, and an inmate of
Stone's garrison, at the upper settlement, had been to
Marietta, by land, and on his return, at the mouth of
Crooked Creek, three miles from the Garrison, dis-
covered an old skiff, or a small boat, that had been
thrown on shore among some driftwood by the high
water. Nails being scarce and dear at that time, he
concluded to go up the next morning with some tools,
pull it to pieces and get out the nails. While busily
occupied with the old skiff, a war party, consisting of
two Indians and a negro who had been adopted by their
32
tribe, happened to be in that \acinity looking for an
opportunity to kill or plunder the whites, heard him at
work, and creeping: up carefully to the edge of the
bank, shot him, without his being aware of their ap-
proach ; as was afterwards ascertained from one of
the party, at the treaty of Greenville, in August fol-
lowing, where many things were disclosed in relation
to the depredations on the settlements, that could only
be learned from the Indians themselves. He was
scalped, stripped of his clothing, his tools taken away,
and his dead bodj- left by the side of the skiff. As
he did not return that night, fears were entertained
of his fate, and the next morning a party of armed
men went up, under the guidance of one of the rangers,
where they found Davis as above related. He was
brought down to the garrison and buried.
"His death was the most distressing as he was
shortly to have been married to a daughter of Isaac
Barker, one of the inhabitants of the garrison, and
his wedding suit already prepared. Had he followed
the rules of the station, which strictly forbade anyone
going out alone beyond gunshot of the block-house, he
would have escaped his untimely fate. The victory
over the Indians by Wayne, and their quiet demeanor,
since, no doubt induced him to think there was little
or no danger. But as no treaty was yet concluded with
the Indians, strict discipline was kept up in all the
garrisons after that period, and no trust placed in
their forbearance ; for, although greatly humbled, their
hatred of the whites was not lessened by their defeat.
"The day of the death of Davis, a party of four
young men, headed by John James, Jr., one of the
most active and resolute of the borderers, proceeded
down the Ohio, in a canoe, in pursuit of the murders
of Davis. The rangers at Gallipolis had ascertained
3 33
that a party of Indians were hunting on the head of
Symmes' creek, and from the direction pursued by
the "war party in their retreat, they were led to think
they belonged to that band. "V^'ith all diligence they
hastened on to the mouth of the Big Kanawha, in ex-
pectation of being joined there by volunteers from the
garrison ; but none turned out, declining to do so on
account of the armistice made with the Indians after
their defeat by General "Wayne. Proceeding on to
Gallipolis, and making known the object of their pur-
suit,, four men volunteered their aid and joined them.
From this place they hastened onward to Kaccoon
Creek, and ranged up that stream one day without mak-
ing any discovery of the Indians. Here one of their
men fell sick and turned back, while another had to
accompany him, leaving only six to continue, the
pursuit.
"The following day they reached the head of
Symmes' creek, where is a large pond, about a mile
and a quarter of a mile wide, a famous place for trap-
ping beaver. They soon fell upon signs of the Indians,
and on a bush by the edge of the pond found an In-
dian's cap made of beaver skin, which he had left to
mark the spot where his trap was set. Mr. James
took this into his own keeping. As it was near sunset,
the party secreted themselves behind a large fallen
tree, waiting for night, when they intended to attack
the Indians in their camp, make one fire and rush on
with their tomahawks, not thinking the hunting party
could number more than eight or ten men, but they
subsequently found they amounted to near forty, di-
vided into two camps, one on each side of the pond.
They had lain concealed but a short time, when an
Indian, who had been out hunting came in sight, and
was closely examining the trail made by the whites,
34
1570268
knowing it was that of strangers. When he came
within forty or fifty yards, one of the party, Joseph ,
]\[iller, fired and the Indian fell. As Mr. James
rushed up with his tomahawk he raised the war cry,
And was instantly answered by his comrades in camp,
distant not more than two or three hundred yards, for
they came directly rushing up in force, before James
could accomplish his purpose, and his party was obliged
to retreat, as the Indians far outnumbered them. See-
ing the whites likely to escape, they set their dogs
on the trail, who came yelping and barking at their
heels, like hounds in pursuit of a fox.
"Fortunately it soon came on so dark that their
enemies could not see their trail, and followed only
by the barking of the dogs. For a day or two previous
it had rained heavily, and when they reached the east
fork of the creek, *it was too high for fording. They
hastily made a raft of dry logs, but it became en-
tangled in the bushes, in the creek bottom, which was
all overflowed, so that they had to abandon it. Their
escape this way being cut off, they were forced to re-
turn to the ridge, between the two branches, and travel
up until they could cross by fording. A little before
morning they halted and rested until daylight, the dogs
for some time having ceased to pursue them, or by
barking give notice of their position. Soon after this
they found a fordable place in the creek and crossed
over. Here they lay, an hour or two, waiting for the
Indians, expecting them to pursue the trail with day-
light and intending to fire upon them when in the
water; but they did not come, having probably
crossed higher up in the stream. When they reached
Raccoon Creek, that was also full, and had to be
crossed on a raft. The party reached Gallipolis the
next day at evening, much wearied with their toil-
some and exciting journey.
35
TP. t
"Colonel Robert Safford of Gallipolis, then acting
as a ranger, went out the next morning and found
the trail of the Indians pursuing the whites to within
a short distance of the town. The pond on Symmes'
creek is distant about one hundred miles from Belpre,
and shows this to have been one of the most hazard-
ous, daring, and long-continued pursuits, after a dep-
redating band of Indians, which occurred during the
war; reflecting great credit on the spirited men who
conducted it. It was the last warfare with the sav-
ages from this part of the territory.
"When at last the Indian war was ended, the fam-
ilies who had been so long and intimately associated
together in Farmers' Castle, left their historic garri-
son to make once more homes for themselves in the
land now forever reclaimed from the savages.
"Near the site of Farmers' Castle is the thriving
village of Belpre, and just across the river lies the
prosperous city of Parkersburg,' tributes to the thrift
and energy of this band of New England Pilgrims.
Between the two towns lies the beautiful and historic
island made famous by the names of Aaron Burr and
Harman Blennerhassett.
"Pre\'ious to its occupancy by the latter, it was
di\T[ded into farms which were occupied by early set-
tlers. One of these was Captain James, who, with his
family, from which, alas ! one member was missing, re-
moved to Blennerhasset Island, where they lived for
several years.
"About 1798, he purchased a tract of land in West
Virginia, seven hundred acres in extent, at the junc-
tion of Stillwell Creek, and the little Kanawha river,
six miles from Parkersburg.
"Captain James, however, lived only a short time
after removing his family to their new home, his death
36
occurring at the close of the eighteenth century, the
latter part of which had proved so eventful for him
and for his family, both in New England and in the
'Old Northwest.'
"The -UTiter recently visited the site of the old
home in "West Virginia, which was afterward burned,
and has in her possession an old English t,easpoon
upon which are inscribed the initials W. H., and which
was thrown up by the plough a few years since, where
once stood the home of Captain James.
**0f the seven hundred acres of land only a portion
remains in the possession of his descendants ; and upon
this stands a substantial frame house, erected seventy-
five years ago by his grandson, and still in a good state
of preservation.
"Here in this peaceful spot, quiet, save for the oc-
casional passing of a railway train, where the waters
of Stillwell creek flow unceasingly into the Little Kan-
awha, and the hills encircle them with their protecting
care, lie all that is mortal of Captain John James, and
his wife, Esther Denison, who journeyed so long ago,
from a comfortable home in New England, to endure
the hardships of pioneer life in Ohio, and assist in
founding the 'Empire of the West.' "
In 1906 a bronze tablet presented by the "Ohio
Company of Associates oi -\e\v lurK comniemoraiing
the first permanent settlement of the Ohio company,
was unveiled on the Marietta college campus.
In July, 1908, the James "Wood chapter, D. A. R.,
of Parkersburg, "W, Va., dedicated a boulder to the
memory of the revolutionary soldiers who are buried
in AYood county, "West Virginia. Among the names
upon the bronze tablet is that of John James.
37
The year 1910 saw the erection and dedication
by the Belpre Historical Society, of a monument which
marks the site of Farmers' Castle.
A movement is in progress to organize in Jack-
son county, Ohio, a chapter of Daughters of the Amer-
ican Revolution which will bear the name of Captain
John James, and still further preserve and honor the
memory of a man, who. by his service to his country,
and by a long and useful life, is entitled to the respect
and veneration of his descendants.
One James Coat of Arms is as follows :
Arms — Azure, on a chevron between three lions
passant gardant, or, as many escallops sable. Crest —
A demi-lion rampant or holding an escallop sable.
The escallop sliell was an emblem of the Pilgrim
which he wore attached to his hat on his journeys to
the Holy Land.
The motto of one James family of Wales is "Duw
a Digon — God and enough."
As we do not know to what coat of arms our John
James is entitled, none is given.

OBITUARY.
Died : At the residence of Daniel Hoffman, in
the town of Jackson, on "Wednesday, May 31, 1854,
the Hon. John James.
The deceased was born in New London county,
Connecticut, June 14, 1771, and emigrated to this state
and landed at Fort Harmar in 1788. His father and
family came the following year and settled on James*
Island, about two miles above Parkersburg, W. Va. .
During his residence at Harmar and at Parkers-.
burg, "W. Va., his name is intimately associated with
42
the pioneers of that day in the trials, difficulties, suffer-
ings and danger of a pioneer life, and at all times when
necessary, he was an active and vigilant spy against
the Indians, and in tliat capacity he traversed most of
the counties of southern Ohio and western Virginia.
In 1790 he visited the Spanish settlements on the
Mississippi as a trader; his goods were seized and con-
fiscated by the authorities, and he and his companions
were compelled to travel on foot from Kaskaskia to
Parkersburg, through a wilderness country inhabited
only by tribes of Indians, then at war with our people.
On his return, he organized a second expedition
for the same purpose, and in crossing the falls of the
Ohio, one of his boats was sunk and those on board
perished.
On the 16th of February, 1798, he married Nancy
Cooke, a daughter of Joseph Cooke, of Parkersburg,
W. Va. She died May 31, 1849.
In 1807, he came to this county, where he resided
until his death, during which time he was elected to
the senate and the house of representatives in the state
of Ohio, and associate judge of Jackson county.
The deceased was a member of the Methodist
church over forty years, and was a zealous and enthu-
siastic supporter of the religion of our Lord Jesus
Christ, and in his last sickness, during which he suf-
fered much and long (being confined several months)
his confidence in the Savior appeared to grow stronger
as he came near his time of departure, and but a few
hours before his death, he sang with all his usual
warmth his favorite hymn:
"A charge to keep I have,
A God to glorify;
A never dying soul to save.
And fit it for the sky."
43
He had a large stalwart frame; kind and benevo-
lent face ; was an affectionate husband and father ; a
sincere christian, benevolent to the poor, and a true
hearted friend.
He lies buried in the Jamestown cemetery which
derives its name from Major John James, on whose
land it was laid out ; his grave being on the Indian
mound in the cemetery.
In the death of Mr. James, one of the old land-
marks disappears. The name of James has been asso-
ciated prominently with the entire history of Jackson ;
and "Jamestown" of itself, has come to be quite an
important part of the place. The James are of good
stock, and the family record holds an important place
in the pioneer history of Ohio and the west."

"Polly (James) Bailey was a woman of great force
of character and at one time was the only professing
christian in the township. She was one of the con-
stituent members of the Warren Presbyterian church.
During the sickly season of 1822-23, when almost
every family for miles around, lost one or more mem-
bers, they carried their large family of eleven chil-
dren through without the loss of one, and without the
aid of a physician. Beside their own large family
they brought up five nieces and nephews, and another
little girl who was left an orphan.
Seth Bailey, a native of Massachusetts, emigrated
to Virginia in 1798. While there he married Polly, the
daughter of Captain John James, who at that time
owned Vienna Island, Neals Island and a large tract
of land in Virginia.
Polly received as a marriage portion Vienna
Island. Mr. Bailey built a cabin on the island and
began the work of clearing in 1802,
46
He at this time owned one horse, two oxen and
one cow. The island was densely covered with im-
mense trees, and clearing progressed slowly and in-
volved the hardest kind of labor.
"Winter set in before a shelter could be provided
for the stock, but nature had supplied that. A syca-
more tree, seventeen feet in its greatest diameter, and
fifteen in its shortest, was discovered to be hollow.
A door was cut in one side and the interior found
large enough to afford a comfortable shelter for all
the stock. In after years the tree caught fire and
burned to the ground.
Mr. Bailey one year later planted corn inside the
remaining snags and harvested from it one bushel.
Early in 1805, a frame house was built opposite
the head of the island. This house became the Bailey
homestead. (From history of Washington comity,
Ohio, page 635.)
Seth Bailey was one of the pioneer settlers of Ohio.
At the time of his death, he was one of the most vener-
able, as he was one of the most respected and esteemed
of the citizens of Washington county.
Ha\dng secured for himself a sufficient estate, he
spent his last years in freedom from care, and ex-
hibited a rare instance of a genial and hearty old age.
He was a lover of education and good morals; and
was for many years a member of the Presbyterian
church." (Bailey Genealogy.)

OBITUARY OF JOHN DENISON JAMES.
At his residence in Jamestown, near Jackson, 0.,

52
He was fiftli of the family of Hon. John James,

in part instrumental in bringing about.
In 1832 he married Sarah, daughter of Hon David

joined the M. E. church in his twenty-first year and
remained a faithful and acceptable member until the
separation of the 21. P. from the M. E. church.
For many years his home was known as the
•'Preachers' Home" where servants of God were wel-
comed and refreshed. During his entire life he main-
taind a character of the most unblemished and prac-
tical Christianity and unbending integrity. Ever cheer-
ful and kind was his greeting to the aged and young
and many there are who will miss the cheery smiling
face of "Uncle Denison."

Like her sisters, Eliza (James) Long, familiarly
known as "Aunt Eliza" Long, was a devout christian
and one of the earliest members of the M. E. church
in Jackson.
54
Blest with the ''good things of life" she found
many opportunities for christian work, and how well
she employed these with her hands, her prayers and
her means, has become a matter of history. Naturally
timid and reserved yet she possessed keen penetration.
The air of triumph with which she met death after
months of intense suffering will never be forgotten
by those who knew her. Her favorite expression was
"Peace, peace, all peace, not a doubt, not a cloud, per-
fect peace."

Julia Ann Hurst was a woman noted for her good
works and useful life, which was a sermon in itself.
Her children, all carefully educated, repaid her
for her sacrifices and lo\'ing care which she gave
them, and her good influence will be felt through gen-
erations to co)ne. She united with the M. E. church at
the age of nine years, of which she was a devoted
member during her life.
Nobly and faithfully she did her part as a minis-
ter's wife. In the inner court of her home, in the outer
court of the world, in the holy places of the church,
and in the holy of holies on high, it will be said of
this faithful woman of God that "she hath done what
she could."

WAR RECORD OF JOHN GRIGSBY M'CLUER.
J. G. McCluer Is a native of Rockbridge county, Virginia.
Was a student in 1861, at Washington college, now Wash-
ington and Lee university. He joined the Rockbridge artillery,

a company raised at Lexington, Virginia. This company was
made up of a number of members of the Episcopal church, at
Lexington, Virginia, of which Rev. Dr. Pendleton was pastor.
He after .vards became brigadier general and was the chief of
artillery under Gen. Robert E. Lee.
The company was ordered to Harpers Ferry, Virginia,
and reached there about April 15th, and was connected with
the Stonewall brigade, which was formed about the 1st or 2nd
of July; and was known then as the first brigade commanded
by Gen. Thomas J. Jackson (Stonewall Jackson), who had
been promoted from major to brigadier general.
The first engagement was with General Patterson's ad-
vance guard, about five miles below Martinsburg in the Shen-
andoah valley, and which engagement was on the 3rd of June.
The Confederates fell back to Winchester; and on the
16th started to join General Beauregard at Manasas or Bull
Run, which point was reached by our command on the night
of the 20th of July; and on the 21st the Rockbridge battery
supported by Jackson's brigade was placed on Henry's hill;
and was opposed by the batteries of Rickets and Griffin. It
was within but a few yards of the location of this battery
that General Bee fell mortally wounded, and gave to the
first brigade the name of "Stonewall," by which name it was
known during the entire war.
Was with Gen. Stonewall Jackson and his command in
the Romney campaign. Was at the battle of McDowell. In
the reorganization of the army, after the twelve months en-
listment had expired, he changed his service from the artil-
lery to cavalry, and joined Company B, of the twelfth Vir-
ginia cavalry. Was with Jackson in his Valley campaign
against Banks. Was in the battle near Winchester. Was in
the battle at Barton's Mills.

DENISON
There is much uncertainty as to the origin of the
family name. It is variously spelt Denison, Dennison,
Denyson, Donnistone. It is unquestionably of ancient,
and probably, of Norman origin.
In the Patronymia Britannica, is the following
notice: "The Dennistowns of that ilk have an extra-
ordinary way of accounting for their surname. One
Danziel, or Daniel (say they) probably of Norman ex-
traction, settled in Renfrewshire ; and calling the estate
Danzieltown. assumed therefrom the surname."
The family are unquestionably ancient; the name
appearing in the Charter of King Malcom I. who died
in 1165; but the Norman Danziel is probably a fiction.
The "colonial period" is to us a most interesting
one, and \he descendants of Captain John James and
Esther Denison, are fortunate in their colonial ances-
try. The name of Denison is a most distinguished one
in our colonial annals, and its history begins with
the anti-emigration period, for which we are in-
debted to the records of St. Michael's church, of Bish-
ops Stortford, England. The writer has had the pleas-
ure of visiting this quaint old English town, which is
on the eastern border of Herts county and is thirty-
two miles from London. It is also called Bishops
Stratford.
The parish church of St. Michaels, a fine build-
ing with a spire, dates from the reign of Henry VI.
Bishops Stortford was in existence before the Nor-
man conquest, and its castle, known as Waytemore Cas-
146
J5enisoa.
DOMUS GR.ATA
Hospitable House
tie, was presented by "William the Conquerer to Maur-
ice, Bishop of London.
Sir TI. Cliaunoey. the historian of Hertfordshire;
IJoole, the translator of Tasso, and Cecil Rhodes, were
natives of Bishop's Stortford.
In our ancestor. Captain George Denison and his
wife, Anne Borodell, we are much interested. He is
described as "a valiant younj:: captain lately come out
of the wars in Enirland" and his conduct, both military
and civil, in the early years of our country's history,
thrills us with a feeling of reverence and gratitude
that we are his descendants.
Of his wife, Anne Borodell, we have a charming
picture — and to none of our colonial grandmothers, do
we turn with a more loyal or loving pride. Of such
dignity of person and manner was she, that she was
always designated as "Lady Ann." We are mo-st for-
tunate in having a piece of her handiwork handed
down to us. Family tradition says it was executed
while she was a pupil in a convent in Cork, Ireland,
in the year 1625.
It is now preserved in a museum at Groton, Con-
necticut, where the writer had the pleasure of view-
ing it. A drawing of this wonderful old piece has been
made for our book, that it may delight the eyes of
many of her descendants and give them a sense of
personal kinship with the ancestress whom we are so
proud to acknowledge.
In the book called ''The Town of Roxbury" by
Francis 8. Drake, he says that the family of Denison
was one of distinction in our colonial annals, though
long since extinct in Roxbury.
In the records of the First Church of Roxbury,
page 2, we find the following:
147
"William Denison, he brought three children to
N. E. — all sons — Daniel, Edward and George ; Daniel
married at Newtowne and was joined to the church
there; he afterward removed to the church at Ipswich."
The pastor of "The First Church" was the Kev.
John Eliot, afterward a famous Missionary to the In-
dians, lie came to America with "William Denison in the
good ship ''Lion" as tutor to his sons. The name of
William Denison stands third on the records of the
"First Church." He was made a constable and a dep-
uty to the general court in 1634:; was a man of mark,
possessed considerable property and was one of the
founders of the "Free School."
With his son Edward and another Roxbury man,
he was disarmed in 1637, for "subscribing to the sedi-
tious libel," or in other words, for being a follower
of Ann Hutchinson — a woman who had opinions of
her own upon religious subjects, and, worse than all,
in the eyes of the Puritan leaders of the colony, drew
the more liberal and intelligent over to her way
of thinking. William Denison died in Roxbury, Jan-
uary 25, 1653.
His wife died there February 23, 1645.
The church record of Rev. John Eliot, says of the
wife of William Denison :
"It pleased God to work upon her heart and
change it in her ancient years after she came to this
capital, and joined to the church in the year 1632."
The eldest son of William and Margaret Denison
was Daniel, who attained the rank of major general,
and was highly distinguished both in civil and military
affairs. He was speaker of the house of representa-
tives, and for twenty-nine years one of the "assist-
ants." He was born in England in 1612, and after
148
coming to America was married to Patience Dudley,
daughter of Governor Thomas Dudley, and lived at
Ips-wieh, Mass. He had two children, John, who
married a daughter of Deputy Governor John Symonds,
and Elizabeth, who married John Rogers, president of
Harvard college.
Daniel Denison died in 1682.
Edward Denison, the second son, born in England
in 1G14, married Elizabeth Welde of Roxbury, and had
twelve eliildren. He lived in Roxbury where he was
a man of mark. He was representative to the general
court in 1652 and 1655, and was the first town clerk
of Roxbury. Edward Denison died in Roxbury, April
26, 1668. His son, AVilliam, a graduate of Harvard
college in 16S1, died in 1718, when the name became ex-
tinct in Roxbury.
The following is an extract from a document, writ-
ten by Major General Daniel Denison, December 26,
1672, to his grandchildren, John, Daniel and Martha
Denison : (N. E. Hist, and Gen. Reg., 46 :127.)
"Your grandfather Denison was born in England
at Bishop's Stratford in Hertfordshier, in which town
he married and lived till the year of our Lord 1631,
with two brothers, Edward and George, who all of
them had children. George' the youngest brother had
a son named also George, my cousin German, who was
living in Stratford in the year 1672, as your uncle,
Harlackenden Symounds, told me, who was that year in
England, and spoke with him. My uncle, Edward, had
also children, and in the year 1631, removed himself and
family into Ireland, where he died and left a son
called John Denison who was a soldier and major of
a regiment in the time of the wars, and deputy gov-
ernor of Corke, where Mr. "Wainwright saw him. I
149
have received divers letters from him; he was living in
Dublin in the year 1670. Your great-grandfather, my
dear father, whose name was William, had by my dear
mother, whose name was Chandler, six sous, and one
daughter, two of which, viz : One son and the daugh-
ter died in their childhood ; one son, who was the
second named AVilliam, about 18 years of age, would
needs go a soldier into Holland in the year 1624, at
the famous siege of Breda when it was taken by Spin-
ola, and Count ^Mansfield had an army out of England,
to have raised the siege but the army miscarried, and
my brother, AYilliam, was never heard of since.
"We were now but four brothers left, viz: John,
Daniel, Edward and George. John and myself were
bred scholars at Cambridge, where I continued till
after I had taken my first degree. Your grandfather,
my father, though very well seated in Stratford, hear-
ing of the then famous transplantation to New Eng-
land, unsettled himself and recalling me from Cam-
bridge removed himself and family in the year 1631
to New England, and brought over with him myself
being about 19 years of age, and my two brothers,
Edward and George, leaving my eldest brother, John,
behind him in England, married with a good portion,
who was a minister, and lived about Pelham or in
Ilartfordshier, not far from Stratford, where he was
born.
"My father brought with him into New England
a very good estate and settled himself at Roxbury, and
there lived (though somewhat weakening his estate),
till the year 1653, in January, when he died, having
buried my mother about eight years before."

op's Stratford, edited by J. L. Glasscock, Jr., were pub-
lished iu 1SS2. By this book we find that William Den-
nyson was church warden in 1606 (Page 113) and
George Dennyson in 1632, 1635, 1648 and 1649 (page
114.)
Mrs. Margaret Denison, the mother of Major Gen-
eral Denison, died at Roxbury February 3, 1645-6. Her
son states that her maiden name was Chandler. Mr.
Waters, finds on the Bishop's Stratford register (see
above) the marriage in 1603, of William Denison to
Margaret Monck. This William Denison is probably
the New England emigrant. The variation in the
surname of his wife may be accounted for in two
ways: Mr. Denison may have been married twice,
or Margaret Monck may have been a widow in 1603.
William Denison, father of the general, died at Rox-
bury, January 25, 1653-4,
From Mr. Waters' extracts from the register of
Bishop's Stratford, it would seem that the father of
William Denison and grandfather of Daniel was named
John. His widow seems to have married John Gace.
The history of Captain George Denison, the
youngest son of William and Margaret Denison, is
quite fully given in the "History of Stonington and
Genealogies" by R. A. Wheeler, under the title of
the "Denison Family," which with some additional
151
notes taken from other sources, we take the liberty of
reproducing, in full:
(From "History of Stonington and Genealogies," by
R. A. Wheeler— 1900— pp. 334-335.)
The Denison family of New England was origin-
ally from Bishop's Stratford, Ilertfordshier, England.
From the old Parish register there, Stratford is spelled
Stortford, and Denison is spelled in various ways:
Denyson, Dennyson, Denizen, Denizon.

Generation II.
William Denison (No. 3) m. Margaret (Chandler)
Monck at Stortford, England, Nov. 7, 1603. He was
very well seated in Stortford or Stratford, but hear-
ing one of the famous transplantation to New England,
unsettled himself and recalling his son, Daniel from
Cambridge, removed himself and family in the year
1631 to New England, and brought over with him his
152
son, Daniel, then aged about 19 years, and two younger
brothers, Edward and George, leaving his oldest son,
John, who had also been bred at Cambridge and was
a minister, married, with a good portion, and who
lived about Pelham or in Ilartfordsheir, not far from
Stratford, where they were all born. He was Vicar
of Standon, County Herts, 1660 to 1670. William
Denison brought with him into New England a very
good estate and settled himself at Roxbury, Mass., and
there lived till Jan. 2-3, 1653, when he died, having
buried his wife about eight years before, viz. : 1645,
Children of AVilliam and Margaret Denison.

153
Generation III.
George Denison (No. 1-i) ra. about 1640 Bridget
Thompson, b. Sept. 11, 1622. She was a daughter of
John Thompson and wife Alice, genllcmau of Preston,
of Northamptonshire, England. She d. 1643. They
had two children. One of whom was ancestress of
Admiral George Dewey, U. S. navy.
15. Sarah, b. March 20, 1641, m. Thomas Stan-
ton.
16. Hannah, b. May 20, 1643, m. Nathaniel Chese-
brough, 1659. She m. (2nd) Joseph Saxton July 15,
1680.
This Capt. George Denison having buried his wife
in the year 1643, went back to England the same year,
where, as we learn from a letter of his brother, Maj-
Gen. Daniel Denison. published in the April number of
the New England Historical and Genealogical Register,
of 1892, in which he says. "My brother, George, was
a soldier there above a year; was at the battle of York,
or Marston Moor, where he did good service, and
was afterward taken prisoner, but got free and mar-
ried a second wife, Miss Ann Borodell, who was born
in England in 1615. and with her returned to New
England in the year 1645, and took up his abode again
in Roxbury, Mass., where he continued to live until
1651, when he came with his family to Connecticut and
located himself at New London, Cuuu., where he re-
sided until 1654, when he came to Stonington with his
family to live, and remained there until his death,
which took place at Hartford, Conn., Oct. 24, 1694.
His illness and death occurred while attending
the general court. Owing to the bad condition of the
roads at that time it was impossible to convey the re-
mains to his home for burial, a distance of forty-four
154
miles, and he was buried in the cemetery back of the
old Center church at Hartford, where his grave may be
seen to-day. This ancient cemetery has been recently
restored by the local chapter of Daughters uf the
American Revolution.
His wife, Ann Borodell, is buried in Elm Grove
cemetery, Mystic, Conn.
Capt. George Denison was a member of the Con-
gregational church of Stoningtou, Conn.
We learn from the records of ^Massachusetts and
Connecticut that Capt. George Denison was not only
distinguished as a civilian, but became the most distin-
guished soldier of Connecticut in her early settlement
except ^laj. John Mason. His military ser^^ces are on
record in our colonial archives where his eminence is
recognized and portrayed. Also, you will find his
name in the history of New London and Stonington,
where his services are acknowledged and described in
full. There is no date of the marriage of Capt. George
Denison and Ann Borodell, but he was doubtless mar-
ried in England. Pending their, courtship an agree-
ment was made between them, which was afterwards
ratified and confirmed at Hartford, Conn., May 3, 1662,
as follows: "This witnesseth that I, George Denison,
of Southertown, in Connecticut, jurisdiction in New
England, for and in consideration of a jointure due
unto my now wife. Ann Borodell Denison, upon mar-
riage and upon my former engagement, in consider-
ation of the sum of three hundred pounds by me re-
ceived of Mr. John Borodell, which he freely gave to
my wife, his sister, Ann Borodell Denison, and I have
had the use and improvement of and for, and in
consideration of conjugal and dearer affection moving
me, thereunto." This jointure agreement may be seen
on the first Book of Connecticut state records, Hart-
155
ford, Conn., page 274. This recorded instrument is
proof positive of the marriage of Capt. George Deni-
son and wife, Ann Borodell, to say nothing of the
births of their eliildren and his will in his own hand-
writing bequeathing to tliem his entire property.
Another authority says that after the death of his
first wife, George Denison returned to England,
served under Cromwell in the Army of Parliament, won
distinction, was wounded at Naseby, was nursed at the
home of John Borodell by his daughter, Ann, whom
he married in 1645 : He returned to Roxbury, and fin-
ally settled at Stonington, where he and his wife occu-
pied a foremost place. They were both remarkable for
magnificent personal appearance and for force of mind
and character. She was always called "Lady Ann."
A beautiful piece of embroidery made by her in a con-
vent at Cork, Ireland, in the year 1625, has been since
her death, in the possession of her descendants; but
is now placed in the museum at Groton, Conn.
Tradition says, that in those days, polishing irons
were a luxury, and that, when not in use, they were
considered as articles worthy of display, for which
beautiful hand embroidered covers were made, and that
for this purpose, was designed the exquisite piece of
embroidery which is of so much interest to the de-
scendants of "Lady Ann." While somewhat softened
and faded by time, the design, showing a figure of a
"young woman dressed in a flowing robe," and seated
under a tree, is plainly seen. The lining of the robe
is of a brilliant blue, which seems as bright as when
the stitches were placed there nearly three hundred
years ago by our fair ancestress. Surrounding the
figure, are birds and flowers, while in the distance,
rises a towered castle. "Lady Ann" died Sep-
tember 26, 1712, aged 97 years.

George Denison was "chosen captain" while at
Koxbury, and was called "a young soldier lately came
out of the wars in England." He often cammanded
expeditions against the Indians, and was always most
successful when commander in chief ; and at one time
he was provost marshal for eastern Connecticut and
Rhode Island. He participated in the Narragansett
swamp fight, and performed prodigies of valor.
He was captain of New London County forces in
King Philip's war, with Capt. John :\Iason, Jr., under
Maj. Robert Treat, in the great swamp fight Dec.
19, 1675. Also served the next year in command of
the forces raised by him as provo-marshal, who pur-
sued the remnant of the Narragansett and Wampanaug
Indians, and succeeded in defeating them and captur-
ing the Indian chief, Canonchet, who was brought to
Stonington, and on his refusal to make peace with the
English was shot. He assisted as magistrate to enable
the Pequot chiefs designated by the English to control
the remnants of the Pequots, He was assistant and
deputy from Stonington to the general court for fifteen
sessions.
Captain George Denison went inland a little to
build his house, but yet where he could overlook the
water, and built his home in 1654, a little west of the
present old Denison house, occupied now by Mr, and
Mrs. Reuben Ford. This first house was built of logs.
Afterward he built a larger one, called the '' Mansion
House," and gave it to his son, William, whose son,
George, built the present one. Captain George built a
palisade fort west of this house (parts of which can
still be seen), where he mustered in the volunteers
who met under his command in the famous swamp fight
in 1676,

Robert Lay of Saybrook, Nov. 26, 1667. He served in
the Colonial Indian war. She d. 1699, aged 49 years.
He d. 1698, aged 52 years.
One writer says: "It seems strange that so little
should be known among his descendants, of a man so
conspicuous in his time as Captain John Denison. He
was the first born of Captain George Denison and his
wife, Ann Borodell, and was married to Phebe Lay,
Nov. 26. 1667, at the age of 21 years, after each party
had been duly apportioned by their fathers in a legal
contract which is recorded at Saybrook. By this deed
of settlement, executed before the marriage, the re-
spective parents conveyed 'to John Denison and Pheobe
Lay, the farm granted to Captain George Denison near
the mouth of Mystic river in Stonington and the house
and land in Saybrook which Mr. Lay had formerly
bought of John Post.' He was known as Captain John
158
Denison; held a proniiuent position in Stonington, and
in many ways was a man of mark."
Another writer says that "John Denison lived in
the old Denison house situated at the foot of Mystic
Hill, It was the first house built in the village about
1669, and became a well known landmark. It always
remained in the Denison family till it was taken down
in 1883, and so is remembered by many yet living.
Captain John Denison had nine children; six sons, one
of whom died in infancy, and thr^e daughters. All
lived to be married and with a single exception had
large families. Large tracts of land were given to
each of the sons, who were all men of influence."

LAY
Robert Lay, the emigrant, was the first in a line
of eight Robert Lays in America, the name descend-
ing from father to son. He was born in 1617, and died
July 9, 1689. He is reported at Lyme, Conn., in
1638, but settled permanently in Saybrook, 1647.
Lyme is situated in New London county, Connecticut,
and Saybrook in Middlesex county, the two towns
separated by the Connecticut river.
The residence of Robert Lay was in that part of
Saybrook, Avhich is now the town of Essex, on the
north side of what is now the street on Essex Point
leading to the steamboat dock.
That street and lane was for a long time, perhaps
a hundred years, called "Lays Cartpath "— and the
river landing "Lays Wharf." The family homestead
of that part of the family which remained in Essex,
was on that spot until many years within the present
century.
This Robert Lay, the first, was a large land owner,
including a large tract north of Essex Point, as well
as a division in the Oyster river quarter, that is, the
present Westbrook. In 1666 and 1678, he was a deputy
to the ETPHfral court. In December, 1647. he married
Sarah Fenner, the widow of John Tully. She came to
America in 1646 or 47, with her brothers, William
and Arthur Fenner, bringing with her, her son John
Tully (bapt. in 1638), and a younger daughter,
Sarah (Fenner) Tully, wife of Robert Lay, died
May 25, 1676, aged 59 years.
They had two children, Phebe, born Jan, 5, 1651,
162
d. 1699, and Robert, born March 6, 1654, d. July
1, 1738.
Phebe Lay was married Nov. 26, 1667, to John Den-
ison (No. 17, Denison family). It is interesting to
know that Saybrook was the first seat of Yale college.
The following description of this typical New England
village which the writer had the pleasure of visiting
recentlj', is taken from the book entitled "In Olde
Connecticut" by James Burr Todd.
"Old Saybrook is almost the only Connecticut town
that boasts nobility for its founders, and a real lord and
lady for its governors. Almost two hundred and fifty
years ago, we learn from old chroniclers, Lord Say and
Seal, Lord Brook, Colonel Fenwick, and "other gentle-
men of distinction in England," procurred a patent
of the territory "lying west from Narragansett river,
a hundred and twenty miles on the seacoast, and from
thence in latitude and breadth aforesaid to the South
Sea." (A quaint old document, it is said, was this
patent, which, after defining in obsolete legal terms,
the metes and bounds of the grant, its "privileges and
appurtenances" of woods, uplands, arable lands, wat-
ers, meadows, pastures, ponds, havens, ports, waters,
rivers, adjoining islands, fishings, huntings, fowlings,
mines, minerals, quarries and precious stones, closed as
follows :
"According to the tenour of his maje-stie's manor
of East Greenwich, in the county of Kent in ye kingdom
of England, in free and common soccage, and not in
cappitu nor by Knight service ; they yielding and pay-
ing therefor to our sovereign Lord and King, his heirs
and successors, only the fifth part of all the Oar of Gold
and Silver which from time to time, and at all times
hereafter shall be gotten, had or otherwise obtained.")
163
The first step of the patentees was to plant a set-
tlement in their new possessions, and early in 1635 they
deputed John "Winthrop, son of the famous Governor
Winthrop, to build a fort on Saybrook Point, which
should serve as a nucleus for the proposed settlement,
and the site of which is still pointed out to the tourist,
on a little eminence commanding the mouth of the
Connecticut River. This fort is a central form in the
history of the State. The waves of Pequot and Narra-
gansett warfare rolled about it for almost half a cen-
tury; several times it was besieged, and a hundred mov-
ing tales of ambush and rally, or capture, torture and
individual murder are related by the antiquarians of
the village concerning it. Only a few days after the
fort was begun a Dutch vessel from New Netherlands
came hither with the view of taking possession of the
river, but was driven off by the guns of the fort. From
its walls Captain Mason and his men on a May day in
1637 set out for the destructiton of Pequot fort and
nation at Groton, and here Governor Andros in 1675
made his first attempt against the chartered rights of
the colony by sailing up from New York with an armed
force and demanding the surrender of the fort.
In 1639 Colonel George Fenwick arrived and con-
tinued to act as governor of the Plantation until it was
sold to the colony of Connecticut in 1644, the noble
owners of the patent having relinquished their former
plan of improving their grant in person. Colonel Fen-
wick was accompanied by his wife. Lady Ann Butler,
daughter of an English nobleman, the first lady of rank
who appears in the colonies, and whose story forms one
of the most romanic and interesting episodes in the
history of Saybrook. With true wifely devotion she
refused to allow her husband to depart for the New
"World alone, and leaving behind the comforts and re-
164
finements of life in the English upper class she followed
him hither, and shared with him the perils of Indian
warfare and privations of the wilderness. The brave
lady's love and devotion cost her dear; she died in
1648, nine years after her arrival, and was buried a few
yards south of the fort, on a slight eminence known to
this day as Tomb Hill. The bereaved husband erected
a monument to mark her grave, and soon after sailed
away to England, where he figured in history as one of
the judges of the unfortunate King Charles the First.
For more than two hundred years the brave lady's
tomb remained amid the bleakness and barrenness of
the Point. At length the line of the Connecticut Valley
Railroad was laid out directly through it and, yielding
to the exigencies of modern progress, the interesting
relic was removed. In opening the grave a floss of her
bright golden hair was found perfectly preserved ; it
is now owned by a conductor on the Valley Railroad
whose antiquarian tastes led him to appropriate that
which no one else valued. The tourist now looks in
■s
the village cemetery for the poor lady's cenotaph, a
shapeless monument, rudely carved from the red sand-
stone of the valley, and from some unexplained cause
bearing no inscription whatever, probably because
the hard, stern, Puritan spirit forbade to a woman the
glowing panegyric necessaary in order to do justice to
her virtues. This part of Saybrook is now called Fen-
wick, I suppose in her honor, and the large summer ho-
tel built here in 1871 received its name, Fenwick Hall,
probably for the same reason.
But Saybrook once barely missed an honor greater
than those which have been narrated. Over on the south
end of the Point — a region of shifting sands and
bunches of beach grass, that at the touch of the sea
breeze vibrates with the tune of a hundred Aeolian
16S
harps, and which is now ocoupieJ only by the hotels
and the great lighthouse — a city was once laid out,
with streets and squares, a park, a public mart, and
wharfs for the shipping; then the colonists began to
whisper of the arrival of distinguished strangers, and
to scan the distant sea line for an expected sail. The
strangers thus looked for, the old chronicles go on to
say, were Cromwell, Pym, Hasselrig and Hampden, the
four most illustrous commoners in English annals, who
at one time had made all preparations to emigrate to
the New World, once actually embarking for the voy-
age, but were driven back by adverse winds, and from
some unknown cause were led to abandon their project;
and so the colonists were disappointed and the city
lot« left to return to their original barj^enness.
It was at Saybrook that Yale College had its birth,
and the first fifteen Commmencements of the institu-
tion were held there ; and in this village, in the autumn
of 1708, assembled the convention of Puritan ministers
which adopted the famous Saybrook Platform. It may
be readily imagined that the latter was one of the great
events of the village.
The state of the church at that time was such as
to awaken the gravest apprehensions. The liberal
doctrines of Roger Williams — the most trenchant foe
that Calvinism ever encountered — were advancing
from the East. Antinomianism, the Anabaptist and
Pedobaptist heresies were prevalent. Quakers had been
harbored in the colony, and to add to the pressure of
foes without there were strifes and wranglings among
the churches themselves; and so the Puritan leaders
called a convention of the entire church to meet at
Saybrook. The delegates came on horseback from
every part of the colony — from Hartford, Simsbury
and the East, from Litchfield, Fairfield and the towns
166
and villages between. It was the season of Commence-
ment in the college. The morning after their arival
the convention met. How readily the imagination
recalls the scene! The throng of strangers, the pleasant
air of bustle and excitement in the village, and then,
at the stroke of the bell in the ancient church, grave,
sober-suited figures came forth from the doors of the
villagers. As in a pageant they pass down the village
street. On some of the faces under the broad-brimmed
hats rests an almost divine benevolence, on others a
grim austerity lowers ; there is an earnestness and
glow about them that attracts, and a severe dignity
repels. How rebukingly they gaze upon the idle
dreamer and scribbler under the elms! How \vith a
look they would have crushed the petted and perfumed
striplings of the modern pulpit !

AVERY
The first trace of the Groton Averys prior to the
emigration to America, is found in the church at Ip-
pleden, County Devon, England, where Christopher
Avery and ^largery Stevens -were married.
The marriage license is dated Aug. 16, 1616.
(From History of Stonington and Genealogies.)
Generation I.
"Christopher Avery, the emigrant ancestor and
progenitor of the Avery family, was born in England
about 1590. He was a weaver by trade, and came to
this country and located at Gloucester, Mass., where
he was selectman in 16-16, 1652 and 1654. At a court
in Salem, he took the freeman's oath, June 29, 1692,
and was chosen clerk of the band, constable and clerk
of the market. His wife did not come to this country.
In 1658, he sold lands at Gloucester and removed to
Boston, where on the 16th of March, 1658-9 he pur-
chased land, a small lot, about twenty-six by forty-
six feet. It was located in what is now the center of
the postoffice building, facing on Devonshire street.
The famous old spring, which gave the name to Spring
Lane, and which is now preserved under the post-
office, was near. This Avery plot was a part of, or at
least adjoined, the site of two notable resorts of later
days — the well known restaurant whence first came
the famous "Julien soup," and the "Stackpole House,"
not much less famous. The Winthrop estate was not
far away, and nearby, in after years, Benjamin
Franklin was born. Christopher Avery did not long
retain his property, for March 22, 1663, he sold the
land to Ambrose Dew, for forty pounds. There had
168
evidently been no increase of value in the five years
that he had held possession. After being owned by
two or three different persons, it was bought by Mr.
Staekpole about 1790. Christopher Avery now fol-
lowed his son, James to Connecticut, and August 8,
1GG5, purchased a house, orchard and lot of Robert
Burrows in New London. Here he claimed exemption
from watching and training, on account of age, in
June, 1667, and was made freeman of the colony, Octo-
ber, 1669. He died March 12, 1670, by Minor diary."
Generation II.
Many names are found in these pages, which ap-
peal to our justifiable pride in our New England an-
cestry, but none more forcibly than that of the warrior-
statesman Captain James Avery. His long and event-
ful life has been well portrayed for -us. The state of
Connecticut places him beside Captain Denison, and
counts them both among her favorite sons. Upon the
site of his homestead at Groton, Connecticut, known as
the "Hive of the Avery's," and for nearly three cen-
turies a landmark of Connecticut, rises a noble monu-
ment which is visited by many beside his descendants,
and to all who view it, is brought a clearer realization
of the colonial history of our country, and of the part
borne in it, by the man to whom this monument is
dedicated. In journeying over the ancient estate of
Captain Avery, mile after mile of which is rock-
.ribbed and stern to look upon, the writer was re-
minded of the character of our Puritan ancestors of
New England. One portion at least of this vast estate,
remains to this day in the possesion of his descendants.
Tradition says that it originally extended from river
to river.
In strong contrast to the greater portion, this com-
prises many fertile acres, which seems a very "oasis
169
in the desert." In the hospitable homestead we found
"Colonial cousins" who welcomed us and gave us of
the traditions which linger still about the land which
yet remains in the hands ot' lineal descendants of
Captain James Avery. A loyal and vigorous clan they
are — these Averys who have swarmed from the old
"Hive." To feel this you have only to visit Fort Gris-
wold nearby, and hear the tales of those of Avery name
and blood, who gave of their lives and services to the
revolution in the defense of New London. Close be-
side it, is the ''Monument House" where relics of
these valiant heroes are to be found, sacredly guarded
by the Ann Warner Bailey Chapter, Daughters of
the American Ke volution. In the vault where harm
cannot reach it, is kept the beautiful old piece of
embroidery made by the fair hands of "Lady Ann"
Borodell,
Turning again to the "History of Stonington and
Genealogies," we find the following:
"Captain James Avery, the only child of Christo-
pher, was born in 1620. Came to America with his
father, and lived at Gloucester for several years. The
Rev. Mr, Blinraan, who had been the minister of Glouces-
ter for eight years, was engaged to become the min-
ister of the Pequot plantation, A party of his friends
proposed to move with him, and came on to make prep-
aratory arrangements, Oct. 19, 1650. It appears that
James Avery went back to Gloucester, sold his posses-
sion there to his father, and in 1651, returned to New
London. In March of that year, the principal body
of these eastern families arrived. Captain James
acquired large tracts of land at what is now Poquonoc
Bridge, Groton, east of New London. About 1636, he
built the "Hive of the Avery's" at the head of Poquo-
170
Bronze Bust of Captain James Avery,
at Avery MemoriaJ Park, Groton, Connecticut
noc Plain, a mile and a half from the river Thames.
He was a member of the first Congregational church at
New London. In 1684 the old Blinman edifice, first
church of New London, the ''unadorned church and
water tower of the wilderness," which had stood for
thirty years, was sold to Captain Avery for six pounds,
with the condition that he should remove it in one
moutli's time. According to tradition, the church was
taken down, its materials carried across the river, and
added to the house he had already built at Poquonoc.
In spite of this analytic and synthetic process, the
ancient dwelling seemed to have retained some of its
sacred character for two centuries later. It was oc-
cupied until July 21, 1894, when a spark from a
passing locomotive ignited its well-seasoned frame, and
in a short time only the ancient chimney remained to
mark the spot of this historic house of eastern Con-
necticut. A few years later the chimney was taken
down, the grounds graded, and a tasteful monument
was erected by the descendants of James Avery. He
was ensign, lieutenant and captain of the New London
companies and served through King Philip's war in
command of forty Indians from Stonington, New Lon-
don and Lyme. In 1676, he was captain of one of the
four companies which protected the frontier and for
twenty-three years an officer of the town and twelve
times deputy to the general court, 1656-80 ; also assist-
ing judge in the prerogative court, and was most
. prominent in matters relating to the church, as refer-
ences to him in such connections are numerous. He
married 1st Nov, 10, 1643, Joanna Greenslade, bom
about 1622. She died after 1693. He married 2nd,
ilrs. Abigail (Ingraham) Chesebrough, widow of
Joshua Holmes, July 4, 1698. He died April 18, 1700.
His widow was li\'ing at late as 1714."

The following extract is taken from an article en-
titled "The Hive of the Averys," which was written
by Mabel Cassine Ilolman, a descendant of Captain
James Aveiy, and published in No. 2, Vol. IX, of the
"Connecticut ^lagazine:"
"At the head of Poquonoek Plain in what is now the
town of Groton, Connecticut, stood for many years the
house known as "The Hive of the Averys." It was
built by Captain James Avery in the year 1656. This
historic house never passed into strange hands, being
continuously inherited from father to son, until it was
destroj^ed by fire on the night of July 20, 1S94.
Soon after the burning of this old house, "The Av-
ery Memorial Association" was incorporated by special
act of the Connecticut Legislature, received the old
homestead site by deed of gift from its owner, James
Denison Avery, and there erected a granite memorial
in what is now known as the "Avery Memorial Park."
The inscriptions on the monument briefly tell the story
of "The Hive" and the names of its successive owners.
The front of the die bears a bronze tablet, that gives
a good representation of the old house. This tablet
was the gift of John D. Rockefeller, one of the descend-
ants. The shaft is surmounted by a bronze bust of the
builder of the "Old Hive." It is of heroic size, the face
shaded by the Puritan hat, showing resolution, sterness
and a mighty will, while in the mouth is a suspicion of
tenderness and deep feeling, mingled with strict regard
for the right that made Captain James Avery, with
Captain George Denison, "entreat the general court to
be more merciful to the captured Pequots."
Captain James Avery, born in the year 1620, was
the only child of Christopher Avery, a weaver, who was
born in England about 1590. Tradition tells us he
came from Salisbury, Wilts County, in the ship "Ar-

belle," with John AYinthrop in 1630. His little son,
James, ten years old, came with him and they settled
in Gloucester, Massachusetts. On November 10, 1643,
James Avery married, iu Boston, Joanna Greenslade.
AVe read that in the year 1650, on the 19th of October,
among the grants made by the townsmen of New Lon-
don, James Avery received one, said to be the land
where the "Pequot House" now stands. Six years
later, James Avery, with his wife and three children,
crossed the Thames Kiver and settled permanently at
the head of Poquonock Plain, in the town of Groton,
and there built the "Hive of the Averys" in 1656. He
soon became active in military affairs. In 1665 the gen-
eral court confirmed Ensign James Avery as "lieuten-
ant to ye train-land at New London." In June. 1672.
the general court ordered that Captain John "Winthrop
should be " chief e" military officer for the County of
New London and Lieutenant James Avery his second."
In 1673 New London County was to add a hundred
dragoons to her "train-bands," and for such forces
as shall be called out of that county, "James Avery
appoynted Captain." In 1675 knowing w^hat Massa-
chusetts had suffered, the name of King Philip became a
terror to the Conecticut settlers, and in October the
general court at Hartford put Connecticut under mar-
tial law. At the meeting of the eoimcil of the colony
in the following February, "There was order to Cap-
tain George Denison and Lieutenant Minor, to rayse
some forces to surprize or destroy the enemy." From
the same letter we read, "The Council considering the
difficulty of collecting any considerable body of the en-
listed soldiers from the several townes, for an im-
mediate march against the enemy, order that Captains
Avery, Denison and Lieut. Minor, should forthwith
gather as many men as possible from the three nearest
173
towns, New London, Norwich and Stonington and tak-
ing with them the Mohegan and Pequot Indians march
against the enemy." In the following August, "The
Council agreed and ordered that the right and division
of captives be left to the decision and determination of
Captain John Mason and Captain James Avery and
Daniel AVitlierell." In 167G a series of forays was com-
menced against the Indians and were led by Captain
Denison and Captain Avery. There were ten of the
expeditions which contributed in no small degree to
the favorable results.
Captain Avery was equally prominent in the civil
matters of the town. He was chosen townsman in 1660
and held that office twenty years, and one of his earliest
acts in this capacity shows a desire to preserve the pub-
lic documents. He was twelve times deputy to the gen-
eral court between 1658 and 1680. Captain James Av-
ery was prominent in matters relating to the church.
"In February 1677-78 when it was resolved in town
meeting to build a new meeting house, to take the place
of the old Blinman house in New London, the building
committee consisted of Captain Avery and two others."
In June, 1684, the old Blinman edifice, called "the un-
adorned church and watch-tower of the -vvilderness, "
was sold to Captain Avery for six pounds, with the
condition that he remove it in one month's time. The
church was taken do^vvn and carried across the river
and added to the house Captain Avery had already
built at Poquonock. The church record kept by Eev.
Mr. Broadstreet, begins October 5. 1670, the day of his
ordination with the following list : Lieutenant James
Avery and wife. Thomas ^Minor and "Wife, James Mor-
gan, Senior, and Wife, and eighteen others."
Christopher Avery spent his last years with his son
in the old house. Captain James Avery died April
174
18th, 1700. Such was the life of James Avery, living
as he did during the early history of the country. He
was a man among men and deserves the respect and
confidence he received.
Not far from the site ^vhere the "Hive of the Av-
erys" stood, lies a quiet field, far back from the village
street — the old Avery burying ground. It was here
Christopher Avery and his sou, Captain Avery, were
said to have been buried."
From a chapter on "Groton and Mystic" in a book
entitled "In Olde Conneticut," by Charles Burr Todd,
we have a glimpse of the old house that has earned
the quaint title of "The Hive of the Averys."
GROTON AND TylYSTIC.
"Groton Bank, Groton Centre, Popuonnock, Noank,
"West Mystic, :\Iystic, Head of IMystic, Fort Hill, Pequot
Hill, Porter's Rocks — all are localities more or less
notable in the town of Groton, which lies across the
Thames from New London, and covers a territory
nearly eight square miles. Tt is a land of breezy ridges
and sunny valleys, with stern precipitous granite
•ledges facing the sound and walling in the valleys, a
region almost undiscovered by the tourist, but well
worthy of his attention, as much for its natural beauty
as for its historical interest. Originally it was a part
of New London, known locally as the "east side," but
its inhabitants in 1705 succeeded in inducing the gen-
eral court to incorporate them as a separate town,
which they named Groton in honor of Governor Win-
throp's English home in Suffolk County.
Our first expedition into Groton was in search of
the town records ; to our surprise and pleasure we
found them lodged in one of the oldest houses in
175
America, and one Avhich is perhaps the best specimen
of colonial architecture extant. It is known as the
old Avery mansion, and "was built in 1656 by Judge
James Avery, one of the original settlers of Groton.
It is a house of character. Even the casual passer-by
notices it, and wishes to stop and inquire as to its his-
tory. It is ballasted by two heavy stone chimneys,
its frame is of white oak, heavy enough to furnish forth
two modern houses, its roofs are high and steep, the
upper story projecting over the lower as in the block-
houses of colonial Indian warfare. In two large safes
in the front parlor the town records are kept. This
parlor is a study. Its ceiling is low, and in the center
is a huge beam, whitcAvashed, and still bearing the
marks of the hewer's broad ax. The sills — 8x8
beams — are placed above the flooring, and are as sound
in appearance as when laid more than two hundred and
thirty years ago. The present owner is the ninth
Avery to whom the old house has descended from eld-
est son to eldest son, with the broad green fields ad-
joining. We found the aged Town Clerk, Mr. James
Avery, busy transcribing the generations that had
swarmed from the old hive for a genealogy of the
Averys now being compiled in Rochester, New York.
If these old white-oak timbers could speak, we
should hear about the funeral of the first James Avery
in 1681. who, having been a magistrate on the bench
and representative to the General Court, was buried
suitably to his rank. We should have details of the
grand funeral — the name of the person "appointed
to look to the burning of the wine and beating of the
cider for the occasion" — of the gallons of wine, the
barrels of cider, the hundredweights of sugar, the
gloves and gold rings furnished the pallbearers, and
the white kid gloves for the attending ministers. For
176
a funeral eo^t somolhing iu those days — often as much
as £200.
In 1718 the old house saw the first innovation of
nionient. Tea was hroutrlit over from the settlement
at New London, and passed from hand to hand as the
family and a few neighbors sat around the capacious
fireplace. ^ladame Avery Avas skilled in all manner
of cooking:, but she admited that she knew not how to
prepare this bitter herb for the table. At last the
council decided that it should be cooked and served
with boiled pork, as greens ; but there were many wry
faces when tlie dish came to be eaten. At last they
learned to steep it, as they did their boneset and other
medicine herbs, and to disguise it with milk and sugar,
but it Avas months ])efore the family came to enjoy the
strange beverage. Two years later they had their first
sight of wheat flour; vye and Indian corn having been
before that the staple breadstuffs. Then, in 1730,
they were thrown into spasms of curiosity at seeing a
horse and wagon driven up the lawn. Hitherto the
only means of locomotion had been on horseback, the
lady sitting behind her cavalier on a pillion, with her
arms around his waist. A little later, in 1733, the
family gathered at the breakfast table, and inspected
tasted and passed judgment upon two or three Irish
potatoes which had been raised in the garden in beds,
much as we now raise carrots and beets. In 1734 the
old timbers might have lost their identity by being
smothered in paint, which that year was used for the
first time in this country ; as a matter of fact, however,
the old house Avaited a century longer before receiv-
ing its first coat of paint. In 1740 the first sleigh
drove up to the door, and the Avery boys and girls,
of whom always tliere was a houseful, tumbled in for
their first sleigh ride. By and by war came, and the
12 177
Averys that had gone out from the old hive made a
good showing in the ranks. The thunder of the guns
on the day Fort Griswold was defended was plainly
heard here, and in the afternoon a breathless horseman
came riding up with news — nine Averys had been
killed in defense of the fort and many more wounded,
among the latter Col. Parke Avery, then living in the
old house ; and very soon a long line of wagons came
over the hill, bearing the wounded to be tenderly
nursed back to health and vigor by the patriotic
women of the homestead. It was in 1783 that the first
wall paper made its appearance, and years after that
before its white and sanded floors were made acquaint-
ed with carpets. The old house has recently had a very
narrow escape from destruction, for the new line of
the New York, Providence and Boston Railroad, now
building to connect with the new bridge across the
Thames, passes within a few feet of its western gable,
and had not the engineers deflected their line a trifle,
would have passed through it. It is a pity that none
of the old family furniture has been preserved. "My
mother had fourteen children," said Mr. Avery,
speaking of this matter, "and every time they came to
visit me they would take away some article of furni-
ture, saying that if they gave me the old house, they
must have the furniture — so it is all gone." — (By per-
mission of the Joseph McDonough Co.. of Albany, N . Y.

THE AVERY MEMORIAL.
BY MARY L. BOLLES BRANCH.
Here once an ancient homestead stood
Gray with long years of fashion old,
From stately oak, from hallowed wood,
Were hewn its beams, and strong and good
Uprose its walls, a race to hold.
Here round the hearth sat sires and sons.
Mothers and babes, a charming throng;
Eight times renewed the long line runs,
The youths became the aged ones.
The children grew to manhood strong.
Honor and virtue here held sway.
And courage high in word and deed.
Forth went the statesman on his way.
Forth marched the soldier to his fray,
A sturdy race from sturdy seed.
Gone are the walls that stood so long.
Mossed roof and chimney, all are gone,
Where sheltered happy lives were passed,
Now blow-^ at will the winter blast.
There is no home, the spot is lone.
179
Yet stay, what wonders love hath wrought!
Here is the hearthstone of a race.
The threshold that their feet have sought,
Here to our view the bounds are brought.
And ivies the old chimneys grace.
Oh! rooms unseen by mortal eyes,
"WTierein may move the friendly guest,
Oh! walls invisible that rise
With household gods in unknown guise,
What is there to meet our quest?
Behold, the vanished home uprears
This granite shaft whereon to-day
Wrought in enduring bronze appears
One who shall greet the coming years,
Chief of his race, who seems to say:
Here once an ancient homestead stood.
Gray with long years, of fashion old.
From stately oak, from hallowed wood
Were hewn its beams, and strong and good
Uprose its walls, a race to hold.

CHESEBROUGH
The first record we have of the Chesebrough
family is as follows:
William Chesebrough, b. in Boston, England, 1594,
married Dee. 6. 1620, to Anna Stevenson, daughter of
Peter Stevenson, by the "Blessed John Cotton," in
St. Botolph's church, Boston, Lincolnshire, England.
William and Anna (Stevenson) Chesebrough had
thirteen children, the sixth of whom was Samuel, bap-
tized in Boston, England, April 1, 1627.
The death of AVilliam Chesebrough occurred on
June 9, 1667, at Stonington, Conn,
The names of William and Anna Chesebrough ap-
pear as Nos. 44 and 45 on the roll of original members
of the First Church of Boston, Mass.
The ancient Congregational Church, the first in
the metropolis, was regularly imbodied at Charlestown
the 27th day of August, 1630, and Rev. John Wilson in-
stalled as teacher. Some time in the month of August,
1632, the Congregation of Boston and Charlestown be-
gan to build the first meeting-house. The site was on
the south side of State St. in Boston. The church in
Charlestown became a distinct body on the 2nd of No-
vember, 1632, withdrawing from the parent church
about one-fourth of the congregation. The second
meeting house was erected in 1639, on Washington St.,
and was destroyed in the great fire of 1711.
The Unitarian movement in the United States was
developed chiefly in New England about the beginning
of the nineteenth century under the lead of Dr. Chan-
ning. Many of the oldest Congregational Churches
183
in New England i)assed under Unitarian control and
the "American Unitarian Association" was formed in
1825. This was the fortune of the First Church of Bos-
ton which is today of the Unitarian denomination. The
fifth house of worsliip, a fine structure, was built in
ISGS, corner of Berkeley and Marlborough Sts.
(From R. A. "Wheeler's History of Stonington and
Genealogies.)
William Chesebrough (No. 1), the first white man
who made what is now Stonington, in Conneticut, his
permanent place of abode, was born in Boston, Lin-
colnshire, England, in the year 159Jr, where he married
Anna Stevenson, Dec. 6, 1620. He was a gunsmith,
and worked at his trade in England, and in this coun-
try, until he came to Stonington in 1649, when he
changed his occupation to that of farming and stock
raising, occupying and improving the large grants of
land given him by the town of Pequot, now New Lon-
don.
In the early part of the year 1630, he joined a
large party of imigrants who came with John Win-
throp, Esq., to this country. Mr. Chesebrough located
himself in Boston, ]\Iass., and soon after became a mem-
ber of the First Church. He was admitted a freeman
of the Massachusetts colony in 'May, 1631, and after-
wards took an active part in public affairs. In 1632,
]Mr. Chesebrough was f^loeted as "one of two" from
Boston to unite with two from every plantation to
confer with the court about raising a public stock,
and "Prince" in his "Annals" says that this seems
to pave the way for a house of representatives in
the general court.
In 1634, ^Ir. Chesebrough was elected constable
of Boston, where he continued to reside for several
184
years. Previous to 1640, he removed to Braintree, and
that year was elected deputy to the Massachusetts
general court. Soon after which, he removed his res-
idence to Kehobotli, Plymouth colony, where in 1643,
his list was returned at £430. The nest year lots were
drawn for a division of the woodland near the town,
and Mr. Chesebrough received lot No. 4. During this
year the planters of Rehoboth drew up and signed a
compact by which they agreed to be governed by nine
persons, ''according to law and equity until we shall
subject ourselves jointly to some other government."
Mr. Chesebrough was a party to that transaction,
which was participated in by thirty of the planters
of the new settlement. He had taken an active and
prominent part in organizing the town of Rehoboth,
and at a public meeting held July 12, 1644, his serv-
ices were seeognized by the town in ordering that he
"should have division in all lands of Seakunk, for one
hundred and fifty-three poimds, besides what he is to
have for his own proportion, and that in way of con-
sideration for the pains and charges he hath been at
for setting off this plantation." He was propounded
for freeman at the general court in Plymouth in 1645,
but was not admitted till 1648. Notwithstanding the
prominent part he acted in establishing the plantation
of Rehoboth, and the recognition of his services by
the new town, lie was not treated with much favor by
the general court of that colony, which ordered him
to be arrested for an affray with an Indian by the
name of Vassamequine, and harshly treated him in
other respects. This led him to look further for a
permanent place of abode. About this time Mr. John
Winthrop, Jr., acting under a commission from the
Massachu-setts general court, commenced a settlement
at Nameaug, afterward called Pequot, and then New
185
London. :Mr. Chesebrough visited the place in 1645,
for the purpose of making it his future home. He
was kindly treated by Mr. Winthrop, and urged to
settle there; but finding the place in several respects
unsuitable to his expectations, he concluded not to
stay. Subsequently he examined the Pawcatuck re-
gion, and finally concluded to settle at the head of
Wequetequock Cove. He shared the friendship of
Roger "Williams, and was encouraged and assisted by
him in removing his habitation to Pawcatuck. He did
not, however, immediately remove his family there,
and not until he had provided for them a comfortable
place of abode. It was during the summer of 1649
that his family came to Wequetequock and occupied
their new house in the wilderness. The marsh land
bordering on Wequetequock Cove furnished hay for
his stock in abundance.
(Page 291.)
Mr. Chesebrough was a man of more than ordin-
ary ability and held positions of trust not only in the
Massachusetts colony, but was prominent in the settle-
ment of the town of Rehoboth, in Plymouth colony.
After his place at Wequetequock was intluded in the
township of Pequot, he was elected deputy thereof to
the general court at Hartford in 1653-4-5-6, and on
one occasion rate maker or assessor.
When in 1658, the Massachusetts general court
asserted jurisdiction over this town, Mr. Chesebrough
with others were appointed to manage the prudential
affairs thereof, and one of the commissioners to end
small causes and deal in criminal matters. He held the
office of townsman (selectman) until Southertown was
annexed to Conneticut, and was the first man elected
deputy after the reunion, 1653-55-57-64, and suc-
ceeded in restoring amicable relations with the court.

which had been seriously disturbed by the jurisdic-
tional controversy. After his return he was elected
first selectman of the town, and re-elected every year
up to the time of his death, which took place June 9,
1667. His dwelling house stood on the west side of
"Wequetequock Cove, near the head of tide water.
Generation II, s
Samuel Chesebrough (No. 2). the sixth child of
William and Anna (Stevenson) Chesebrough, was bap-
tized April, 1627, in Boston, England. lie was mar-
ried Nov. 30, 1655, to Abigail Ingraham and was buried
July 31, 1673, at Stonington, Conn. Samuel and Abi-
gail (Ingraham) Chesebrough had seven children.
Samuel Chesebrough lived in Boston, Braintree and
Rehoboth, ]\Iass. He was made a freeman of Conneti-
cut in 1657 ; signed the Pawcatuck Articles of Associa-
tion in 1658.

TYLER
(From official report of the first American Tyler fam-
ily reunion, at Andover, Mass, 1896, by W.
I. Tyler Brigliam.)
From time immemorial there have been in various
parts of Great Britain, families bearing the name of
Tyler, spelled in a dozen different ways.
In Burkes Armony are recorded no less than eight
Tyler coats of arms. Of those lines having descendants
known to have figured conspicuously in the history of
our country, are the following:
Job Tyler. Andover, IMass.
Captain John Tyler, Boston.
Tyler families of Branford and ^Vallingford, Conn.
The Virginia and Maryland Tyler families.
1, Job Tyler was born in England about 1621, and
died at Andover, Mass., about 1700.
nis descendants are seemingly most numerous of
all, with corresponding number upon the roll of honor.
His vitality descended to his sons, of whom he had
four — Moses, Ilopestill. John and Samuel.
2, Ilopestill Tyler, h. 1645, lived to be eighty-eight.
He removed to Preston, Conn., where some of his de-
scendants made distinguished history. He married
Mary Lovett, Jan. 20, 1667, and had ten children, the
seventh of whom was James.
3, James Tyler, son of Hopestill and Mary
(Lovett) Tyler, was born Dec. 28, 1683, and married
Hannah Saffurd, Oct. 8, 1705. They had six children-
Moses, James, Hannah, Samuel, Joseph and John. John
189
was later known as General Tyler of Revolutionary
fame.
4. Hannah Tyler, daughter of James and Hannah
(Safford) Tyler, born Oct. 9, 1711, married ^Villiam
Denison, of Stonington, Jan. 30, 1738. ( See Denisou
family No. 38.)
From History of New London county :
"Hopestill Tyler, an aged man, died in 1733. He
left a wife, Mary, and four children, viz: Hannah
Buswell, Daniel, James and Ilopestill. Estate, 813
pounds, sterling.
In the inventory of his wardrobe is a "close bodied
coat, valued at 4 pounds, 5 shillings; a beaver hat, an
orange colored cloak and a muff."
Preston, Conn., an old Tyler town, has recently
published the proceedings of the bicentennial (169S-
1898), of its First Congregational church. Among the
statistics are found numerous Tyler entries including
brief sketches of Hopestill Tyler and Rev. Samuel
Tyler.
A complete genealogy of the descendants of Job
Tj'ler is now in process of preparation.
