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tain unpublished  data  and  family  records,  that  all 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.

"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. 

'Here  is  a  list  of  the  families  who  lived  in  Farmers' 
Castle,  at  Belpre,  in  the  year  1792.

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

David.  They  settled  in  Ohio.  Two  of  Alexander's 
sons  are  now  preachers  of  the  gospel  in  the  ^Methodist 
church.     David  studied  medicine   and  settled   in  the 

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,

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.

"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.

"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.

a  visit  to  England  and  while  there  purchased  three 
silk  dresses.  One  was  a  sky  blue  brocade,  which  he 
presented  to  his  fiancee,  Anna  James.  A  green  brocade 
was  given  to  her  sister,  Hannah  (James)  Cook,  and 
the  third  one,  of  black,  to  Polly,  wife  of  Seth  Bailey. 

Anna  wore  hers  as  a  wedding  gown,  and  sixty 
years  later,  it  was  again  used  for  the  same  purpose 
by  her  granddaughter,  Emma  Humphrey.

At  the  age  of  sixteen,  John  James  lived  for  a  time 
at  Reading,  Pa.,  but  came  to  Ohio  -^vith  his  family 
a  year  or  two  later.  He  served  in  the  Indian  wars, 
gaining  considerable  prominence.  From  1795  to  1800 
he  lived  at  Blenuerhassett  Island,  W.  Va. ;  afterward  on 
James  Island,  now  known  as  Neales  Island,. 

He  removed  from  there  in  1806  to  A^hat  is  now

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."

Bennett  Cook  was  the  third  child  of  Capt.  Joseph 
Cook,  Jr.,  and  -went  to  sea  while  yet  a  boy,  and  was 
absent  in  Europe  when  his  parents  removed  to  the 
west.  Upon  his  return  he  joined  them  accompanied 
by  his  uncle,  Pardon  Cook.  He  purchased  a  farm  of 
one  hundred  acres  and  built  the  large  brick  dwelling 
house  still  standing  (January  1,  1907.) 

He  was  appointed  justice  of  the  peace  for  Wood

Authority:  Family  record  compiled  by  Ellen 
Frances  Bailey  (No.  188.)  Residence,  Warren,  0.; 
(now  Constitution,  0.) 

"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., 
on  Sabbath,  12  o'clock,  September  4,  ,  John  Den- 
ison James,  aged  81  years,  5  months  and  12  days. 

He  was  born  on  James  Island  in  the  Ohio  river, 
about  two  miles  above  Parkersburg,  "W.  Va.,  March 
23,  1806,  but  since  1807  has  lived  in  Jackson,  0. 

52 


He  was  fiftli  of  the  family  of  Hon.  John  James, 
one  of  the  first  settlers  of  Jackson  county.  He  lived 
to  see  the  country  grow  from  a  dense  forest  to  a 
populated  and  well  improved  country  which  he  was 
in  part  instrumental  in  bringing  about. 

In  1832  he  married  Sarah,  daughter  of  Hon  David 
^Mitchell,  by  whom  he  had  thirteen  children.  He 
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."

but  a  busy  woman  withal,  and  her  acts  of  kindness,  her 
happy  disposition,  and  inborn  characteristic  James  wit, 
with  her  kind  motherly  heart,  endeared  her  to  all 
who  knew  her.  She  spent  the  last  years  of  her  life 
in  the  home  of  her  .son  Alonzo  and  is  buried  in  the 
Jamestown  cemetery,  just  south  of  the  Indian  mound.

known  as  "Aunt  Eliza"  Long,  was  a  devout  christian 
and  one  of  the  earliest  members  of  the  M.  E.  church 
in  Jackson.

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."

16,  1887. 

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, 

87 


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. 

Was  in  the  fight  at  Chancellorsville,  the  Wilderness  and 
Fredericksburg,  and  the  cavalry  fight  at  Brandy  Station,  in 
which  comparatively  all  of  the  cavalry  of  both  armies  were 
engaged.  Was  in  the  second  battle  of  Manassas.  Was  also  in 
the  fight  at  Jack's  Shop;  also,  at  Cedar  Mountain.  After- 
wards, detailed  on  special  duty  at  the  instance  of  General 
Butler,  of  South  Carolina,  and  sent  with  the  scouts  of  General 
Hampton  in  rear  of  the  Federal  forces  about  Petersburg; 
operated  in  the  rear  of  these  lines  for  about  four  months 
between    James    river    and    the    Nansmond    river,    when    an 

88 


order  came  for  relief  from  that  service,  and  was  ordered  to 
report  to  General   Hosser.   in    the  valley  of   Virginia. 

lu  coming  through  the  enemy's  lines,  near  what  is  known 
pit.  H  T"'  """'"•  °"  J^^"^^alem  Plant  road,  below 
Petersburg,  he  was  captured  at  2  o'clock  in  the  morning  of 
September  13.  :SG4.  The  Confederate  pickets  at  that  point 
having  been  captured  by  the  Union  forces,  and  a  company 
of  Pennsylvania  cavalry  placed  there  in  its  stead.  Was  sent 
to  City  Point,  v.here  he  remained  for  about  one  month,  in 
what  was  known  as  the  Bull  Pen.  and  from  there  was  sent 
as  a  prisoner  to  Point  Lookout,  where  he  remained  until  he 
was  exchanged  on  account  of  sickness  and  sent  up  James

Was  parolea  aad  returned  to  his  home  in  Rockbridge  county" 
and  when  his  parole  expired  left  on  the  same  evening  to  join 
his  command  which  was  then,  as  he  was  informed,  in  the 
neighborhood  of  Richmond.  But,  upon  reaching  Lynchburg 
\irginia,  he  learned  of  General  Lee's  surrender  at  Appomatox' 
He  then  returned  to  his  home  at  Lexington,  Virginia.

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."

"William  Denizen  and  Margaret  Monck,  married  7

The  records  of  St.  Michael's  Parish  church,  Bish- 
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

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.

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.

9.  William,  bapt.  at  Stratford,  Oct.  5,  1606, 
and  at  about  the  age  of  18  years  must  needs  go  a 
soldier  into  Plolland  in  the  year  1624,  at  the  famous 
siege  of  Breda,  when  it  was  taken  by  Spinola  and 
Count  Mansfield,  who  had  an  army  out  of  England 
to  raise  the  siege,  but  the  army  miscarried  and  this

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,

Generation  IV. 

John  B.  Denison  (No.  17),  m.  Phebe,  daughter  of 
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 ! 

The  church  doors  close  upon  the  retreating  forms, 
and  there  is  framed  the  platform  that  is  to  be  the  sheet- 
anchor  of  the  Congregational  churches  for  almost 
twice  ahundred  years."  —  (By  permission  of  the  Joseph 
McDonough  Co.,  of  Albany,  N.  Y.) 


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-

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-

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

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. 

186 


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.

William  and  Anna  (Stevenson)  Chesebrough,  was  bap-

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.
