INTRODUCTORY 


This  second  volume  of  Atwater  Iliston  and  Genealogy,  com- 
ing, as  it  docs,  only  a  few  wars  after  the  first,  seemed  to  the 
author  to  be  a  necessary  supplement,  as  so  much  additional  mat- 
ter had  been  accumulated,  so  main-  omissions  filled  in.  and  s, , 
many  corrections  brought  to  light,  that  to  him  it  became  a  duty 
he  could  not  let  go  unfulfilled,  knowing  that  if  not  put  into  I 
permanent  form  of  record  while  in  his  power  to  do  so.  much  of 
it  would  he  lost  to  the  family  forever. 

Jt  has  been  found  advisable  to  reproduce  in  full  the  lineage  of 
the  Atwaters  from  David,  the  emigrant,  who  with  his  brother, 
Joshua,  came  to  America  in  [637,  including  the  last  child  horn, 
or  so  many  of  the  descendants  as  could  he  ascertained.  If  this 
volume  shall  he  incomplete  the  censure  must  rest  upon  the  heads 
of  those  who  are  perfectly  indifferent  to  kindred,  or  devoid  of  the 
courtesy  that  would  take  a  few  minutes  to  reply  to  a  polite  in- 
quiry, with  return  envelope  and  postage  provided.  Scattered 
over  this  country  and  in  Canada  are  hundreds  of  letters  which, 
if  answered,  would  have,  made  this  work  leu  limes  as  rich  in 
family  lore,  to  say  nothing  of  making  its  pedigree  perfect. 

In  this  connection,  to  the  writer,  it  seems  so  Strange  that  this 
should  he  so.  especially  in  a  people  uniformly  kind,  generous, 
obliging  and  good-hearted  as  I  have  found  each  and  every  one  it 
has  been  my  good  fortune  to  become  acquainted  with.  Even 
those  who  under  no  circumstances  would  permit  themselves  t" 
write  the  desired  information,  when  called  upon  personall)  were 
profuse  in  apologies,  and,  in  turn,  so  hospitable  and  furnished 
so  much  material,  that  it  is  hard  to  reconcile  in  one's  mind  the) 
could  he  the  same  persons  possessing  such  opposite  characteristics. 

Character  sketches,  which  appeared  in  the  first  volume,  are 
omitted  in  the  second,  also  the  pedigrees  <<\  allied  families.     V. 


ATWATER    HISTORY. 

attempt  has  been  made  to  add  anything  to  the  exhaustive  work 
of  the  late  Robert  II.  Atwater  on  the  English  ancestry,  though 
l>\  the  kindness  of  William  C.  Atwater,  of  New  York,  more  re- 
cent pictures  of  the  old  ancestral  Atwater  homestead  are  printed, 
including  photographs  of  the  rich  carvings  of  pulpit  and  doors 
extant  in  the  sixteenth  century,  with  a  short  description  of  the 
town  of  Lenham  as  he  found  it  on  two  visits  made  to  this  quaint 
old  place  in    [90]    and    ig02. 


In  company  with  Mr.  F.  F.  Street,  of  Hartford,  a  relative  of 
the  family  of  Mr.  Elias  B.  Bishop,  the  writer  on  a  bright  May 
day  visited  the  territory  covered  by  Cedar  Hill  and  East  Rock- 
in  New  Haven,  which  was  formerly  owned  by  the  first  David  At- 
water and  later  by  his  descendants,  although  in  recent  years  most 
of  it  ha^  passed  outside  of  the  family.  Mrs.  Bishop  was  Grace 
Clarissa,  daughter  of  Major  Lyman  Atwater,  who  in  his  da) 
was  one  of  the  most  enterprising  citizens  Xew  Haven  could  lay 
claim  to,  perhaps  one  of  his  greatest  undertakings  being  the 
building  of  a  section  of  the  old  Farmington  canal,  which  ran 
from  New  Haven  through  Mt.  Carmel.  Cheshire,  Southington 
and  Farmington  into  Western  Massachusetts.  Mrs.  Bishop  suc- 
ceeded in  possession  of  her  father's  home,  and  it  was  here  that 
Mr.  Street  passed  mosl  of  his  youthful  days. 

It  was  to  live  over  for  a  few  brief  moments  the  scenes  of  those 
-  he  desired  to  visit  the  old  house,  and  to  familiarize  himself 
with  family  reminiscences  the  writer  was  pleased  to  accept  the 
kind  invitation  to  go  along.  Cedar  Hill  obtains  its  name  from 
having  been  covered  with  cedar  trees,  which  no  longer  ago  than 
Mr.  Street's  youth  was  reallx  a  forest  of  this  variety.  The  hill. 
composed  mostl)  of  sand,  has  nearly  disappeared;  in  the  first 
place  being  graded  for  the  street  and  the  second  cut  into  for 
the  ten-track  wide  railroad  which  occupies  the  ground.  This  was 
taken  front  the  farm  of  Medad  Atwater.  a  brother  of  Lyman,  the 
house  atid  barn  still  remaining.  If  the  barn  could  talk  it  could 
tell  that  it  was  a  DUS}  mart  when  in  its  prime  and  played  an  im- 
portant part  in  the  great  West  India  trade  which  was  plied  with 
New    Haven,  to  the  enrichment  of  mauv  of  its  old  families.     This 


ATWATER    HISTORY.  ^ 

farm  was  the  depot  where  droves  of  horses,  mules  and  cattle  were 
placed  until  taken  aboard  ship.  They  came  from  the  west  on 
foot,  and  finished  their  destination  in  sailing  ships,  main  of 
which  were  wholly  or  partly  owned  by  members  ol  the  Atwater 

family. 

Starting  from  Cedar  Hill  along  Fleet  street,  now  called  State 
street,  for  a  distance  of  nearly  two  miles,  all  the  houses  and  land 
belonged  to  the  family  one  hundred  years  ago.  The  old  brick 
house,  supposed  to  have  been  built  by  the  second  David  Atwater, 
illustrated  in  the  first  volume,  stood  perhaps  half  way  in  this 
long  stretch.  From  its  outward  appearance  it  may  well  be  imag- 
ined that  it  was  very  pretentious  and  aristocratic  in  its  day  and 
no  doubt  the  envy  of  the  neighborhood.  The  wind  and  storms 
of  200  years  did  not  affect  its  original  strength,  but  in  April. 
[905,  it  took  fire  and  was  totally  destroyed  in  an  hour's  time. 

The  house  visited  by  Mr.  Street  and  the  writer,  it  is  conject- 
ured, was  built  by  David  Atwater  of  the  fourth  generation,  proba- 
bly taking  there  in  1746  his  young  bride,  Elizabeth,  daughfc 
John  Fiassett.  who  was  the  mother  of  his  twelve  children.  It 
then  came  to  Medad,  then  to  "Major"  Lyman,  who  transferred 
it  to  his  daughter,  Grace  Clarissa,  who  married  Flias  B.  Bishop. 
We  traversed  it  from  room  to  room,  stopping  in  each  one.  while 
Mr.  Street  told  interesting  tales  of  his  young  life,  dwelling  par- 
ticularly upon  the  sweet  and  motherly  tenderness  of  Mrs.  Bishop 
as  she  smoothed  out  his  pillow  at  night  and  left  him  to  peaceful 
dreams.  Those  memories  he  cherishes  still,  but  only  in  sadness 
and  tears,  for  the  good  woman  has  gone  to  her  Maker,  and  the 
house,  while  still  standing,  is  only  an  apology  of  its  former  days. 
It  is  occupied  but  the  hand  of  the  goodwife  is  missing.  It  is  in 
good  preservation  so  far  as  the  wood  work  is  concerned,  and  its 
hardware,  such  as  latches  and  hinges,  forged  by  hand,  is  a  mar- 
vel of  the  blacksmith's  art.  The  children  horn  in  this  house  liv- 
ing to  he  adults,  both  men  and  women,  became  distinguished  as 
leaders  in  society,  were  highly  educated,  refined  in  taste,  ol  un- 
excelled manners,  extremely  hospitable,  and  of  unblemished 
characters.  One  of  the  sons.  Lyman  Hotchkiss,  son  ol  Maj 
Lyman  Atwater.  was  a  gentleman  of  most  scholarly  attainments.

and  was  connected  with  Princeton  college  as  professor  and  vice- 
president  for  nearh  thirt)  years. 

Elias  Bishop,  who  married  into  the  famil)  and  through  his 
wife  became  the  owner  of  the  large  farm,  besides  cultivating  it. 
was  an  enterprising  and  successful  drain-  in  live  stock,  especially 
in  supply  ing  both  mules  and  horses  for  the  \\  esl  Indian  traders  "f 
Mew  Haven  in  great  numbers.  Mr.  Street  tells  the  stor)  but 
dors  nut  vouch  for  its  truth  that  the  business*  began  rather  queer- 
ly.  It  seems  in  the  early  days  of  clock  making  that  Yankee  ped- 
dlers went  South  and  West  to  sell  their  time-pieces.  Money  be- 
ing scarce  the)  bartered  mules  tor  clocks,  and.  it  is  said,  in  one 
deal  fift)  mules  were  taken  for  fifty  clocks.  Whether  true  or  not 
the  business  became  extensive  and  Mr.  Bishop  proved  himself  a 
man  of  uncommon  executive  ability  in  its  management,  lie  was 
a  public  spirited  man.  and  the  world  was  better  for  having  him 
a  part  of  it. 

Mr.  Street  relate-  the  story  told  by  "Major"  Lyman  of  an  earl) 
recollection  of  his  home.  On  a  very  dark,  stormy  night  there 
was  pounding  at  the  front  door.  Father,  followed  by  us  hoys. 
opened  it  when  lie  was  confronted  by  the  sheriff,  who  asked  in 
a  loud  voice,  "Have  you  seen  anything  of  that  d — d  David  Aus- 
tin'' lie  was  answered  "No.''  The  sheriff  continued,  "the 
cuss  broke  jail  when  the  keeper  took  in  his  supper  to-night  and 
he  came  this  way."  The  person  referred  to  was  the  Rev.  David 
Vustin,  who  had  rim  in  debt  to  improve  the  New  Haven  green. 
Mis  creditors,  not  willing  to  wait  fof  their  money,  had  him  put 
in  jail.  The  minister,  anticipating  the  "line"  storm  had  told  his 
servant  to  bring  his  saddle  horse  to  the  jail  at  supper  time  the 
first  stormj  night.  At  the  opportune  time  he  got  behind  his 
jailer,  rushed  out  of  the  door,  locking  it  hehind  him.  He  rode 
through  rain,  mud  and  darkness  to  Wcthcrsticld.  where  he  spent 
a  week  with  his  sister.  There  he  learned  a  reward  was  offered 
for  his  capture.  Me  immediately  returned  to  the  sheriff,  claimed 
the  amount,  was  paid  it.  and  in  turn  paid  his  dchts  and  was  free. 

A  few  yards  southeast  of  the  Lyman  At  water  place  stands  the 
brick  house  buill  by  his  brother,  Eldad,  to  all  outward  appear- 
ances in  a  good  state  of  preservation.     Some  rods  to  the  north

atwaj  i:k  history 


is  the  home  of  Horace  Atwater,  an  old  gentleman  in  his  eighty- 
third  year,  when  we  visited  him  in  the  spring  of  [905.  He  was 
quite  feeble,  but  conversed  entertainingly  about  himself  and  other 

members  of  the  family  he  had  known.  He  had  alwaj  s  lived  with- 
in a  few  rods  of  where  he  was  born,  and  in  his  younger  years  in 
common  with  his  father,  uncles  and  cousins,  had  drawn  stone 
from  East  Rock  to  New  Haven  to  furnish  hundreds  of  house 
foundations  and  miles  of  the  supporting  walls  for  the  railroad 
cut.  The  whole  of  East  Rock,  except  the  roadway  and  some 
common  land  near  the  top.  reserved  for  people  to  get  stone  free, 
belonged  to  his  family,  and  was  sold  to  the  city  for  park  pur- 
poses. His  three  sons  live  nearby,  two  being  market  gardeners. 
One  son,  James  M.,  lives  on  his  great-uncle  George's  place,  which 
has  a  venerable  large  old  elm  its  owner  is  justly  proud  of.  Uncle 
George,  when  he  died,  left  nearly  all  of  his  property,  amounting 
to  some  $22,000.  to  the  insane  poor  of  the  town  of  Hamden. 


In  tracing  the  lineage  of  the  North  Carolina  Atwaters  there 
was  one  amusing  feature  that  should  be  told.  To  secure  the 
names  of  the  family  to  write  to,  the  different  city  and  town  di- 
rectories were  consulted.  There  were  quite  a  number  of  Atwa- 
ters who  were  slave  owners,  the  slaves  when  freed  taking  the 
name  of  the  master  to  whom  they  formerly  belonged.  Not  know- 
ing this  fact,  the  names  of  several  were  ascertained  and  written 
to  for  their  ancestry.  Several  replied,  but  in  no  instance  did 
they  state  their  condition,  nor  was  it  ascertained  until  others  had 
been  corresponded  with.  In  this  connection  is  printed  an  answer 
to  one  einquiry : 

"la  your  letter  you  wrote  that  von  found  children  of  Stephen  Atwa- 
ter in  Norfolk,  Va.  Stephen  Atwater  was  a  negro  who  belonged  to  my 
father  and  was  my  nurse  when  I  was  a  child.  Ee  was  a  faithful  Blave 
and  with  my  father's  help  and  counsel  he  made  a  good  living  after 
freed  and  now  lives  on  his  own  farm  and  is  respected  by  bis  neigh- 
bors  because  of  his  good  character.  He  is  the  last  of  my  father's  old 
slaves  now  living  and  if  he  dies  before  I  do  I  will  attend  his  burial  as 
I  have  done  all  the  old  ones  who  have  died.  When  the  older  aeg 
die  out  and  their  influence  ceases  to  be  a  force,  the  negro  will  not  be  re- 
spected as  his  fathers  were,  because  of   his  unworthiness.      Freedom    to

the  average  negro  has  hccn  a  curs*-.  The  morale  of  the  race  is  bad — 
bad  indeed  because  of  the  lack  of  restraint,  and  it  really  seems  the 
tendency  is  toward  barbarism.  I  am  sorry  to  say  it,  but  the  philan- 
thropists in  the  north  who  didn't  understand  the  conditions  estranged 
the  negro  from  the  only  Influence  which  could  have  saved  him — e.  g. 
the  former  slave  owner.  It  may  be,  however,  thai  under  the  guidance 
of  a    Wise   Providence   it    will   work  out   right  in  the  end. 

•'You  will  please  pardon  this  digression.  I  wish  you  could  know  the 
facts   obtained    by   actual   observation." 

E.  W.  A. 

The  author  is  satisfied  that  he  has  now  traced  out  the  pedigree 
of  the  North  Carolina  family,  which  will  he  found  nearly  com- 
plete. It  is  a  pleasure  to  introduce  them,  for  though  divided  for 
sonic  one  hundred  and  twenty-five  years,  we  find  them  contin- 
uing in  the  same  honest,  sturdy  way,  that  all  Atwaters  have  ever 
lived. 


The  following  letter,  accompanied  by  recent  pictures  of  the 
ancestral  home  in  England,  is  self-explanatory: 

Mr.  Francis  Atwater,  Mcridcn,  Conn. 

My  dear  Mr.  Atwater:  I  visited  England  iii  1901  and  again  in  1902 
and  on  each  occasion  spenl  a  mosl  delightful  day  at  Lenham.  Lenham 
as  you  know,  is  in  Ken;,  mi  the  line  of  the  railway  between  London 
and  Dover,  being  perhaps  fifty  miles  southeast  of  London.  Kent  is  said 
to  be  the  gardes  spot  of  England  and  the  drive  from  the  railway  sta- 
tion t.i  Etoyton  Chapel  is  certainly  a  most  beautiful  one.  The  roads  are 
macadamized  so  that  they  are  as  hard  and  smooth  and  clean  as  a  floor 
and  the  vegetation  seems  most  luxuriant,  the  lands  being  most  carefully 
cultivated.  The  Chapel  is  now  a  part  of  the  estate  of  the  Hon.  Akers- 
Douglas,  who  is  the  Home  Secretary  of  Croat  Britain,  being  a  member 
of  t  he  English  Cabinet. 

The  illustration  in  the  liMM  edition  of  the  genealogy  fails  to  give  any 
conception  of  the  beauty  of  the  old  Atwater  homestead.  It  is  one  of 
the  most  charming  spots  and  ideally  beautiful  old  buildings  I  have  ever 
•een  and  I  succeeded  in  getting  one  or  two  fairly  good  photographs. 
The  house  is  one  of  greal  interest  not  only  in  the  neighborhood  but 
through  tin  entire  set  ion.  being  well  known  to  English  archaeologists 
and  being  famed  particularly  for  its  oak.  The  carving  in  the  oak  pan- 
eling, pilasters  and  mantel  about  the  old  fireplace  being  extremely  beau- 
tiful. 


AT  WATER    HISTORY.  7 

Back  of  the  house  the  land  slopes  to  a  small  lake,  being  the  only 
piece  of  water  in  the  neighborhood,  and  from  this  lake  very  possibly  the 
family  received  their  name.  The  whole  situation  is  so  ideal  and  rest- 
ful, fields  so  smooth  and  green,  the  old  house  so  comfortable  that  it 
makes  one  marvel  that  Joshua  and  David  Atwater  could  have  ever  left 
such  surroundings  to  go  to  London  and  then  cross  the  ocean  in  a  sail 
boat  to  finally  make  their  homes  in  such  an  inhospitable  land  as  New 
England  was  almost  300  years  ago. 

The  house  is  at  least  one  mile  from  the  village  and  one  can  well  feel 
that  the  village  of  Lenham  possibly  has  no  greater  population  to-day 
than  it  had  300  years  ago.  The  streets,  the  houses,  the  very  people,  all 
seem  to  breathe  an  atmosphere  of  two  or  three  centuries  ago.  The  origi- 
nal church  at  Lenham  was  destroyed  by  fire  in  1399.  The  present  church 
with  its  Norman  towr  was  built  immediately  afterward.  The  carved 
oak  pulpit  in  this  church,  presented  in  1622,  as  a  carved  date  on  the 
sounding  board  overhead  testifies,  was  given  in  that  year  by  the  At- 
waters  and  Honeywoods,  and  from  this  pulpit  the  Vicar  each  Sunday 
still  represents  the  Church  of  England  and  preaches  to  a  diminishing 
.flock.  The  whole  neighborhood  is  so  quaint,  beautiful  and  interesting 
and  the  Vicar  of  the  church  so  hospitable  that  no  descendant  of  David 
Atwater  should  ever  think  of  making  a  trip  to  England  without  going 
down  to  Lenham  and  spend  at  least  one  day  in  the  country  from  which 
his   first   American   ancestor   came. 

1  am  much  interested  in  the  fact  that  you  are  getting  out  a  second 
volume  of  the  genealogy  and  am  pleased  to  send  you  some  photographs 
with  films  that  I  took  three  years  ago  at  the  old  house  in  Lenham.  I  re- 
gret that  as  it  was  quite  cloudy  I  was  unable  to  get  as  clear  pictures 
as  would  otherwise  have  been  the  case.  For  reference,  I  have  numbered 
each  print.  Nos.  1,  2  and  3  give  views  of  the  house  itself  and  you  can 
readily  see  it.  is  a  beautiful  relic  of  old  English  architecture.  The  house 
is  about  ninety-five  feet  across  the  front  and  the  brick  wall  shown  in 
No.  3  runs  at  right  angles  to  the  house,  enclosing  a  rectangle  that  is 
almost  square.  These  pictures  were  taken  late  in  the  year.  Earlier  in 
the  summer  the  top  of  the  wall  is  a  continuous  box  of  flowers  flowing 
down  about  it  on  either  side.  Picture  4  shows  in  detail  the  front  door 
with  its  modern  electric  bell.  This  door  is  solid  oak,  hand-carved,  be- 
ing one  of  the  best  examples  in  England  of  what  is  known  as  the  Folded 
Linen  pattern.  No  5  shows  the  mantel  and  carved  oak  work  about  the 
fireplace  in  the  main  room,  which  you  enter  from  the  front  door.  The 
artistic  appearance  of  this  fireplace  has  been  ruined  by  being  lined  with 
moden  glazed  tiles  and  having  set  up  in  it,  as  you  see,  a  wood  stove,  with 
its  piece  of  pipe  going  up  into  the  chimney. 

No.  6  is  a  door  on  the  light  and  No.  7  a  door  on  the  left  of  this  fire- 
place opening  out  of  the  main  room  to  the  laundry  in  the  rear.     I  also

Bend  you  two  photographs  of  the  pulpil  in  the  old  Lenham  church  which, 
ys  you  notice  by  tli"  inscription  on  the  bach  of  one  of  the  pictures,  was 
presented   to   Lenham  church   by  the  Atwatera  and    Honeywooda  In    L622.

I  Ik-  writer  spent  a  pleasant  hour  with  Leonard  Atwater,  of 
Westfield,  Mass.,  one  Sunda)  evening  in  October,  [905.  Me  was 
then  in  his  eighty-eighth  year.  I  lis  mind  had  somewhat  failed. 
but  he  narrated  his  early  experiences  in  a  very  interesting  man- 
ner. When  a  young  man  he  peddled  powder  for  a  nearby  mill. 
Me  was  ver\  successful  tui-  tlin.se  times  and  made  enough  in  a 
short  while  tn  buy  a  two-horse  team.  Me  then  turned  his  at- 
tention in  selling  whips,  the  manufacture  of  which  the  town  of 
Westfield,  Mass.,  has  long  been  noted.  At  first  he  bought  his 
own  stock  and  added  a  profit  to  suit  himself.  Mater  a  manufac- 
turer asked  him  to  work  tor  him  011  a  salary.  Mr.  Atwater  was 
agreeable,  provided  the  man  would  buy  his  team,  which  he  did 
at  a  price  of  $500.  This  Mr.  Atwater  put  in  a  building  lot  and 
contracted  for  a  house  to  he  built  thereon  so  that  he  would  have 
a  "cage"  when  he  should  marry.  Mis  salary  was  $600.  Me 
started  with  a  two  horse  team  load  of  whips  for  Ohio  where  two 
of  his  sisk-rs  lived.  This  was  in  the  days  of  wildcat  money  when 
out  of  some  eight)  hanks  in  Ohio,  all  hut  thirteen  failed  within 
a  short  lime.  Me  spent  several  months  in  that  state  hut  met  with 
no  loss  from  this  cause.  In  one  instance  he  exchanged  his  '"wild- 
cat" money  into  gold  hut  a  few  days  before  the  hank  failed. 
There  was  $1,500  in  amount  which  he  carried  in  a  sack  in  his 
Wagon.  It  was  in  his  possession  onl)  a  lew  days  when  at  a  tav- 
ern lie  met  a  man  from  the  east  who  had  bought  a  farm  hut  the 
owner  would  miK  accept  gold  for  his  pay.  The  easterner  of- 
fered Mr.  A.  two  and  one-half  per  cent,  if  he  would  take  his 
Philadelphia  paper  money  in  exchange  tor  gold.  The  exchange 
was  made.  Mr.  A.  put  the  hills  in  his  pocket  and  that  night  his 
wagon  was  broken  into,  it  being  supposed  the  bag  i<i  gold  was 
still  there.  Mr.  Atwater  returned  to  Westfield  to  become  a  man- 
ufacturer and  when  he  retired  from  active  life  had  been  for  sev- 
eral years  the  president  of  a  large  whip  company.

ATWATER    II  ISTOR^  . 


While  on  ;i  visit  to  the  St.  Louis  exhibition  the  writer  learned 
of  the  tragic  death  of  Bertram  A.  Atwater,  son  of  fohn  Bow- 
man (  No.  1442).  who  was  an  artist  of  more  than  ordinary  talent. 
It  seems  lie  was  engaged  to  a  young  lady  who  lived  in  East  St. 
Louis.  In  preparation  of  his  forthcoming  marriage  In-  had  fur- 
nished a  house  in  Chicago,  harmonizing  the  furniture,  carpets, 
walls  and  decorations  as  only  an  educated  taste  for  the  beautiful 
could,  when  he  visited  East  St.  Louis  for  the  purpose  of  settling 
with  his  fiancee  upon  the  happy  daw  Before  reaching  the  house 
he  was  accosted  by  a  small  boy  who  desired  to  earn  his  grip. 
Mr.  Atwater,  espying  a  barber  shop  close  at  hand,  told  the  ur- 
chin if  he  would  wait  until  he  was  shaved  he  could  have  the  job. 
In  the  meantime  the  boy  informed  his  brother  and  a  negro  in  re- 
gard to  the  stranger.  Then  he  returned  and  when  Mr.  Atwater 
started  buoyantly  down  the  street  with  his  helper  he  was  con- 
fronted with  an  order  to  throw  up  his  hands  just  as  he  reached 
a  dark  alley,  the  time  being  early  evening.  However  instead  of 
complying  he  immediately  reached  into  his  pocket,  seized  his  re- 
volver and  fired  point  blank  at  the  brother  who  was  onee  of  his 
assailants,  the  bullet  entering  his  head.  In  turn  the  other  hold- 
up shot  Mr.  Atwater.  The  shooting  aroused  the  neighborhood, 
and  among  those  who  hastened  to  the  scene  was  the  betrothed 
young  lady  and  her  father,  who  immediately  recognized  the  vic- 
tim, but  the  assassin  had  accomplished  his  purpose  and  death 
soon  resulted.  A  search  was  made  for  the  footpads,  but  withoul 
success  until  groans  were  heard  comin  from  an  obscure  quarter, 
when  the  wounded  brother  was  discoverel.  Later,  the  box  and 
the  negro  were  arrested.  They  were  tried  and  as  a  result  the  1 
was  imprisoned,  the  negro  hung,  and  the  wounded  assailant  sen 
to  state's  prison  for  life.  A  few  years  later  he  was  pardoned  a 
it  was  claimed  he  could  not  live  long,  which  proved  to  be  true  ; 
he  died  on  the  journey  before  he  reached  home.

THE  ATWATER  ELM 


The  Atwater  Elm  can  still  be  seen  at  the  original  "plantation" 
of  David  Atwater,  who  came  to  America  in  1636  in  "the  good 
ship  Hector."  and  in  the  "goodly  company"  of  the  Rev.  John 
Davenport,  Theophilus  Eaton  and  others. 

The  tree  was  planted  in  1746  by  David  Atwater,  a  descendant 
of  the  original  settler;  and  on  the  old  plantation  at  East  Farms, 
now  Cedar  I  [ill,   New   1  laven. 

The  diameter  of  the  tree  is  fifteen  feet.  It  is  estimated  the 
circle  of  branches  near  the  top  is  300  feet.  The  height  is  ninety 
feet.  The  elm  was  thirty  years  of  age  when  the  Revolutionary 
war  was  declared  and  must  have  been  a  silent  witness  to  many 
remarkable  events.  If  it  could  give  us  tales  of  the  period,  it 
would  speak  of  the  ardent  patriot  David  and  of  his  equally  pa- 
triotic wife,  Elizabeth. 

Doubtlos  the  tree  felt  the  vibration  of  the  three  guns  fired  at 
midnight  of  Sunday,  July  4th.  1779,  followed  by  the  tramp  of 
men  and  hoys,  rushing  to  the  city  to  resist  the  •'British  Invasion." 

With  them  went  David,  who  left  his  farm,  taking  with  him 
his  "dutch  horse  and  whiffietree,  and  with  several  friends  went 
to  an  armed  vessel  at  the  wharf,  dismounted  one  of  its  six  pound 
guns,  and  hitching  his  horse  to  it,  drew  it  to  West  Bridge  and 
tired  shots  at  the  enemy." 

The  old  tree  would  tell  of  the  passing  of  soldiers,  weary  and 
discouraged  by  the  hardships  of  war.  It  would  not  fail  to  re- 
call the  fact  that  "within  the  space  of  three  weeks,  1,500  soldiers 
and  prisoners-  rested  in  the  shade  of  the  elm  to  partake  of  the 
bounty  of  the  worthy  and  loyal  lady,  Elizabeth,  and  her  patriotic 
husband,  David   Atwater." 

This  statement  was  taken  from  an  extract  from  the  sermon  by 
Rev.  Chauncey  Whittlesey  and  Rev.  Mr.  Baird  at  the  funeral  of 
Elizabeth  Atwater  in  1785.

PERSONAL  REMINISCENCES 


BY  GEN.  H.  B.  CARRINGTON,  OF  HYDE  PARK,  MASS.,  AN  ATWATER  DE- 
SCENDANT, DELIVERED  AT  THE  MERIDEN  (CONN.)  CENTENNIAL, 
1906.      THEY    NOT    ONLY    RELATE   TO    HIS    ATWATER    ANCESTORS, 

BUT  OF  OLD  CUSTOMS.  THEY   WILL  BE  FOUND  UNUSUALLY   IN  II.K- 
ESTING. 

My  Countrymen — I  stand  before  you  to-day  as  a  son  of  our 
common  mother,  Wallingford.  Not  unlike  ancient  Zion,  she  sit- 
teth  upon  a  hill  of  beauty  just  over  yonder  between  two  summits, 
east  and  west,  the  one  "Whirlwind  Hill"  and  the  other  "Mount 
Tom."  From  each  summit,  at  the  bright  sunrise  hour,  the  open- 
ing eye  can  catch  the  waters  of  Long  Island  Sound,  flashing  as 
beautifully  before  the  sight,  as  when  the  waters  of  the  great  west- 
ern sea  of  Hebrew  history  delighted  the  outlook  from  Lebanon  or 
Carmel.  Indeed,  south  of  Mount  Tom,  on  the  New  England 
range,  that  separates  Wallingford  from  her  other  foster-town. 
Cheshire,  known  further  north  as  the  Green  and  White  Moun- 
tains, and  with  a  bold  front  seaward,  which  you  call  Hanging 
Rock,  (with  its  perpetual  "ice  house,")  and  closing  with  an 
equally  proud  frontage  to  the  sea  at  New  Haven,  called  I'.a 
Rock,  there  was  a  real  Mount  Carmel,  in  the  town  of  Uanulen. 
itself  deriving  its  name  from  that  of  the  "Patriot  Hampden"  oi 
English  history. 

I  am  not  here  to  trace  the  colonial,  revolutionary  or  progres 
lives  of  our  common  ancestors  up  to  my  own  childhood,  more  t 
eighty  years  ago,  but  to  talk  familiarly  with  the  grandchildren 
and  great-grandchildren  of  those  who  one  hundred  years 
left  the  old  eagles'  nest  to  migrate  hither  and  go  to  h 
ing  for  themselves  directly  on  the  Boston  and  New  York  si 
route  just  midway  between  the  twin  capitols  of  God  worshipn 
and  liberty-loving  old  Connecticut. 


I  -  \  I  w  Al  ER    HISTORY. 

Thai  was  a  transition  period  of  historic  significance.  The  peo- 
ple had  lived  under  and  enjoyed  the  franchises  and  inherited  the 
same  rights  and  prerogatives  inspired  by  "Magna  Charta,  that 
both  tilled  their  souls  and  swelled  the  sails  when  the\  t.  »<  »k  ref- 
uge on  this  rock-bound  coast  t<>  escape  the  exactions  of  the  un- 
christian and  unsympathetic  rule  <>f  their  mother  country. 

I  heir  lives  were,  indeed,  shapen  h\  the  memories  of  the  pasl 
rather  than  by  those  of  the  immediate  present  or  it-,  opening  fu- 
ture :  and  yet,  the  "mother  nest"  must  he  vacated  that  In  >th  mi  >ther 
and  offspring  might  have  a  larger  and  more  independent  life. 
Even  in  my  own  childhood  there  were  still  living  many  grand  old 
men  and  women,  who  cherished  and  loved  to  tell  stories  of  the 
past,  which  they  in  childhood  oft  heard  whilst  seated  on  the  knees 
of  tin-  fir>t  >ettler>  of  New  Haven  and  Plymouth. 

The  general  occupation  of  the  people  was  that  of  farming,  as 
was  that  of  the  ancient  Hebrew  :  hut  their  lands  gradually  became 
too  restricted  for  profitable  culture,  as  generations  multiplied 
through  their  prolific  example. 

I  must  he  pardoned  a  personal  reminiscence,  much  needed  to 
illustrate  my  thought,  as  personal  reminiscences  are  what  largely 
prompted  your  call  for  my  presence  to-day.  It  is  one  of  my  ear- 
liest memories,  and  possibly  more  distinct  because  being  the  first 
death  I  ever  witnesssed. 

On  the  i<)th  day  of  December,  [831,  I  stood  with  my  mother 
h\  the  bedside  of  one  of  these  grand  old  men.  her  grandfather, 
Captain  Caleb  Atwater.  IK-  was  living  with  his  daughter,  Mary 
(widow  of  Rev.  David  1..  Beebee)  while  his  only  son,  Joshua,  a 
deacon  in  the  Congregational  church  and  devoted  to  its  support, 
occupied  the  old  homestead,  on  the  diagonal  opposite  corner,  and 
conducted  its  large  farming  concerns. 

(  )n  the  dav  referred  to.  ever  active  in  all  home  interest,  he  rode 
horseback  to  the  North  Farms  for  the  family  "grist,"  took  cold 
and  peacefully  crossed  the  Silent  River,  at  the  age  of  91.  He  was 
one  of  these  already  noticed,  full  of  reminiscences  of  the  past. 
Main  of  these,  preserved  by  my  mother,  were  cherished  by  my- 
self, as  among  the  most  valuable  lessons  of  my  childhood. 

I  especiallv  rememher  finding-  his  old  cockeddiat  and  sword  in 


ATWA1  EB    II  [STORY.  I  > 

what  was  called  the  "Tow  Chamber"  and  it  was  said,  that,  "when 
Dick"  (Richard)  Smith,  the  hired  man  of  Dr.  Andrews,  used 
the  old  sword  to  cut  cornstalks,  I  expressed  the  "wish  that  his 
own  head  might  be  cut  off  by  it."  which  wicked  hope,  however, 

was  never  realized. 

Like  so  many  descendants  from  earl)  New  England  stock  and 
their  immediate  progenitors,  his  name  had  been  borrowed  from 
the  family  Bible.  This  was  indeed  a  biographical  encyclopaedia 
from  which  the  old  stock  associated  children  on  their  birth  with 
the  names  and  places  of  most  ancient  Bible  history,  at  a  time  when 
many  children  were  esteemed  worthy  of  a  divinely  promised  bless 
ing  in  the  home  as  of  "olive  plants  around  the  table." 

Indeed,  the  old  family  Bible  had  a  special  "family  record"  in- 
terpolated between  the  <  Hd  Testament  history  and  its  genealogical 
grouping  which  introduced  the  historic  era  of  human  life  that 
began  1906  years  ago.  I  emphasize  this  point  to  note  the  fact 
that  this  single  Atwater  surname  of  old  Wallingford  experience 
is  prefixed  by  more  than  eighty  names  taken  from  the  <  >ld  and 
New  Temtament,  ranging  from  Adam  down  to  Titus  and  Zeanas, 
which  are  as  follows: 

Adam.  Aaron.  Abel,  Abiah,  Abigail.  Abraham.  Ahaz,  Amzl. 
Anna.  Asa.  Asaph,  Bela,  Benjamin,  Caleb,  Cornelia,  Damaris, 
Daniel.  Davis.  Dorcas,  Ebenezer,  Eldad,  Elias,  Elihu,  Elisha,  Eliz 
abeth,  Elnathan,  Enos,  Ephraim,  Esther,  Erasmus,  Eunice,  Ezra, 
Hiram,  Hulda,  Ichabod,  Ira,  Isaac.  Jacob,  Janus.  Jared,  Jehiel, 
Jeremiah,  Jesse,  Joanna,  John.  Jonah,  Jonathan.  Joseph,  [btham. 
Levi,  Lydia,  Martha,  Mary,  Medad,  Merab,  Mehitabel,  Miriam. 
Mosses,  Naomi,  Nathan,  Noah,  Rachel.  Rebecca.  Reuben.  Rhoda, 
Ruth.  Samuel.  Sarah,  Seth,  Silas.  Simeon.  Stephen,  Thomas, 
Timothy,  Titus  and  Zeanas.  Perhaps  without  precedent  in  Amer- 
ica's history. 

LARGE  AND   PROMINENT   FAMILIES. 

More  significant  is  the  fact  that  during  six  generations  "t  the 
same  stock  from  the  first  landing  at   New    Haven. 
One  family  was  blessed  with  fifteen  children 
One  family  was  blessed   with   fourteen  children. 
Four  families  were  blessed  with  thirteen  children.

Four  families  were  blessed  with  twelve  children. 

Seven    families    were    blessed    with   eleven    children. 

Seventeen  families  were  blessed  with  ten  children. 

Seventeen  families  were  blessed  with  nine  children. 

Twenty-three  families  were  blessed  with  eight  children. 

Twenty-three  families  were  blessed  with  seven  children.

This  instance  is  not  an  exceptionnal  illustration  of  the  faith  of 
our  fathers  in  the  injunctions  and  covenants  of  the  Almighty 
Father  with  Israel  and  his  seed  forever. 

In  addition  to  farming  as  an  occupation,  with  easy  access  to

gan to  develop  new  branches  of  mechanical  and  manufacturing 
industry.  With  the  addition  of  railroad  facilities  at  the  foot  of 
the  hill,  corresponding  to  the  Wallingford  hill,  from  its  church 
centers  to  the  plains  below,  the  water-power  of  the  Quinnipiac 
river  and  its  tributaries  began  to  be  utilized  and  the  foundations 
were  laid  for  its  present  unrivaled  precedence  in  many  honored 
branches  of  mechanical  product. 

Although  .Meriden  itself  was  almost  wholly  a  fanning  town, 
mulberry  trees  were  cultivated  on  the  western  plains  below  the 
town  to  feed  silk  worms  from  which  silk  was  procured  for  the 
manufacture  of  lustring,  a  name  then  given  to  material  from 
which  dresses  were  made  and  of  which  Washington  procured 
enough  to  make  a  suit  for  himself. 

Enterprising  citizens,  however,  had  stretched  out  their  arms  to 
grapple  for  both  trade  and  new  homes  elsewheree  for  its  multi- 
plying offspring:  dealing  with  the  West  Indies,  and  even  the 
Mediterranean  sea.  through  \'cw  Haven's  sea-going  craft,  and 
planting  prosperous  and  productive  colonies  both  in  central  and 
northern  (  )hio.  The  latter  was  called  a  "Western  Reserve"  be-

families  of  Atwater,  Andrews,  Cook,  Hall,   Kelle)    and   Wilcox 

more  than  any  other  New  England  town. 

Although  of  personal  relation,  the  emigration  to  (  >hio  belongs 
to  personal  reminiscence,  which  you  have  evoked  from  me,  as  I 
also  followed  Mr.  Andrews  and  Mr.  Wilcox,  to  Columbus,  <  Ihio 
in  1848. 

Captain  Atwater,  who  initiated  the  (  >hio  emigration,  was  p 
ident  and  manager  of  the  Connecticut  Land  Company,  which  In- 
conducted  on  strict  business  methods,  paying  for  all  individual 
purchases  upon  receipt  of  the  deeds  therefor,  and  began  at  once, 
to  utilize  the  land  for  immediate  settlement.  His  son  |bshua,  and 
his  son-in-law  Dr.  John  Andrews,  made  personal  journeys  to 
Ohio,  to  locate  their  lands  designating  by  the  name  ■"Atwater." 
one  township,  for  immediate  occupation. 

Three  of  his  daughters  married  in  Catskill,  respectively,  Ira 
B.  Day,  Thomas  B.  Cook,  and  Apollos  Cook.  (  die  son  of  Mr. 
Day  (William)  organized  the  first  Seamen's  Bethel  chapel  at 
Cleveland,  Ohio,  and  a  daughter  became  the  wife  of  Rev.  Dr. 
Aiken,  for  many  years  minister  in  the  First  Church  at  Cleveland, 
Ohio.  One  daughter  married  Captain  Merrick,  of  Branford, 
Conn.,  and  another,  Dr.  John  Andrews,  already  noticed.  Several 
of  the  Merrick  children  subsequently  made  their  homes  in  <  >hio, 
as  well  as  Dr.  Andrews'  four  children.  Sherlock  J.  Andrews  set 
tied  at  Cleveland,  where  he  served  as  a  member  of  Congress  and 
Superior  Court  judge  with  John  A.  Foote,  from  our  foster-town 
Cheshire,  as  his  law  partner.  The  second  son,  John  Whiting,  was 
distinguished  as  a  lawyer  at  Columbus,  Ohio.  The  third  son. 
William,  a  farmer,  married  a  daughter  of  Rev.  James  Nbyes,  "i 
Wallingford,  and  settled  at  Penfield,  (  ).  Dr.  Andrews'  onh. 
daughter,  Jane,  married  John  M.  Woolsey,  who  also  settled  at 
Cleveland,  ( ).,  and  Dr.  Andrews  himself,  subsequently  married 
another  daughter  of  Rev.  Mr.  Nbyes,  and  lived  in  <  >hio,  and  died 
at  an  advanced  age. 

Several  sons  and  daughters  of  Captain  Atwater-  only  son, 
Joshua,  also  found  homes  in  "New  Connecticut."  both  Thomas 
and  Caleb  having  first  lived  where  the   Merricks  settled.

sons  and  one  daughter  of  John  Barker,  of  Pond  Hill,  and  later, 
I  )r.  William  Atwater,  Found  their  wa\  westward,  where  another 
daughter  married  Dr.  Jared  Potter  Kirtland,  who  made  <  >hio  the 
chiel  center  of  his  large  scientific  experience  and  attainment.  I  >ne 
daughter  married  Lieutenant  Garret  Barry  of  the  Army,  who 
after  the  Mexican  War,  made  his  home  still  further  west  at  Mil- 
waukee, Wis.  Two  daughters  survive  him,  and  live  in  Wal- 
lingford.  One  daughter  married  Dr.  Friend  Cook,  the  prede- 
cessor oi  Dr.  I  larrisi  m,  a  physician  of  VVallingford,  and  1  )r.  Cook 
also  moved  to  Ohio.  John,  who  for  main-  years  cultivated  the 
home  farm,  also  succeeded  him  as  deacon  of  the  Congregational 
church.  Upon  retiring  from  the  farm  work-,  he  interested  him- 
self in  the  public  schools,  dying  at  an  advanced  age,  leaving  one 
daughter  surviving  him.  lie  successively  married  two  daughters 
■  i  Deacon  Uracil  Mall,  neither  of  whom  survived  him. 

(  Inly  one  son  remained  permanently  in  (  >ld  Wallingford  <  Ed- 
gar) who  a>  a  lawyer  exhibited  a  versatility  of  strength,  elo- 
quence and  refined  wit.  that  promised  eminence  in  his  profession, 
had  not  death  prematurely  intervened.  Three  daughters  survive 
him, 

Several  of  the  Cooks  and  Halls  moved  westward;  President 
Hayes  having  married  at  Columbus,  Ohio,  Miss  Piatt,  a  de- 
scendant of  one  of  the  Cooks,  who  lived  somewhere  not  far  east 
from  Long  Hill.  President  Haves  in  vain  endeavored  to  lo- 
cate its  site. 

He  visited  the  old  Burying  Ground,  and  when  he  read  "In 
menu  iry  of  Billious  Cook"  (the  Christian  name  "  I  hi  lions"  not  he- 
rn- rare)  quaintlj  expressed  the  query,  "whether  the  migration 
of  some  of  the  Cook  stock,  westward,  could  in  any  measure  af- 
fect  the  <  )hio  climate." 

Certain  it  is.  that  fudge  Choate  thinks  it  would  he  "worth  a 
prize"  if  some  Wallingford  antiquarian  would  discover  the  origin

died  at  a  very  advanced   age. 

Alfred  Kelly,  from  Middletown,  also  moved  to  Columbus,  be-

TOPOGRAPHY    OF    WALLINGFORD. 

Vnii  are  so  familiar  with  the  topography  of  our  Mother  town 
that  I  refer  to  it  as  a  guidt  in  reminiscences  of  the  past. 

(  )ne  Main  street  extends  along  a  grassy  ridge  east  of  the  Quin- 
nipiac  river  and  the  intervening  sea-bed.  called  the  Plains,  a  mile 
in  length.  At  each  end  a  long  but  easy  slope  drops  off,  the  one 
from  the  old  Todd  house  near  the  big  elm  northward  toward  your 
own  Meriden,  and  the  other  southward  from  the  old  Rice  Hall 
house  toward  Xorth  Haven,  where  it  blends  with  the  Plains. 
This  street  is  crossed  at  its  center  by  another  street  (now  known 
as  Center  street)  and  extends  westward  across  the  Ouinnipiac 
river  at  Humiston's  old  mill,  joins  the  old  Boston  and  Xew  York 
stage  route,  and  connects  with  what  was  called  the  "West  Farms" 
and  then  reaches  Cheshire.  Its  course  eastward,  crossing  Mun- 
son's  brook  below  Elm  street,  leads  through  the  "East  Farms." 
(of  which  further  notice  will  be  taken)  to  Xorthford  as  well  as 
over  'Whirl-wind  Hill"  past  Pistepaug  Lake  (Paug  pond)  and 
thence  to  Middlefield  and  Durham. 

From  the  main  street  eastward  there  was  one  gradual  slope  ol 
a  few  hundred  yards  to  a  long  meadow  valley  east  of  which  the 
whole  country  gradually  rises  toward  "Whirl-wind  Hill"  with 
here  and  there  small  streams  and  narrow  valleys  intervening. 

Along  the  foot  of  the  first  slope  from  the  main  street  is  a  par- 
allel street,  now  known  as  Elm  street,  but  formerly  called  Lower 
street,  the  present  Main  street  then  being  distinguished  as  Upper 
street.  I  shall  use  the  old  names.  At  the  very  center  of  Upper 
streeet  was  the  historic  "Town  Green"  common  to  all  Xew  Eng- 
land towns  for  public  gatherings,  especially  for  the  annual  "Train- 


l8  ATWATEK    EISTORY. 

ing  Day,"  "Independence  Day,"  and  other  rallies  of  the  people  in 
mass;  "Menagerie  Day"  being  especially  honored. 

Midway  between  the  center  and  the  Rice  Hall  house,  (Doctor 
Rice  Hall,  his  Christian  name,  as  a  seventh  son  being  Doctor),  a 
street  known  as  Gravel  hill  (from  its  red  gravel)  ran  eastward 
to  Lower  street  and  there  blended  with  that  street  in  its  course 
by  the  old  Edward  Hall  house  (known  as  the  "Dublin  District" 
with  its  splendid  maples)  thence  to  the  John  Barker  place  (  known 
a-  Pond  Hill,  a  little  pond  of  water  near  by)  and  thence  to  Xorth- 
ford  ond  North  Haven.  This  John  Barker,  the  son-in-law  of 
Captain  Atwater,  was  prominent  in  Masonic  orders,  and  at  his 
decease  was  buried  with  full  Masonic  honors.  I  remember  the 
event  as  of  yesterday.  His  family  servant  was  Cato,  the  last  slave 
owned  in  the  state  of  Connecticut;  and  Cato  in  his  two-wheeled 
donkey  cart  and  "fiddle."  always  anxiously  waited  for.  was  an 
indispensable  factor  when  at  Thanksgivings  or  at  other  times  the 
ball  room  of  the  Washington  Tavern  was  suitably  decorated  for 
an  old-fashioned  dance. 

My  sister,  Mrs.  Gilbert,  still  remembers  that  on  one  Training 
Daw  old  Cato  rescued  her  from  the  onset  of  the  Wallingford  Dra- 
goons, when  the)  suddenly  turned  the  Lewis  Corner  and  scattered 
the  children,  who  were  not  suspicious  of  the  movement. 

Castward  from  the  foot  of  ( '.ravel  hill  crossing  Munson's  brook, 
a  lane  extended  to  the  summit  of  Long  hill  from  which  the  en- 
tire village  appeared  as  if  upon  one  common  level.  This  hill  was 
topped  with  slender  poplar  trees,  a  land  mark  for  miles  around. 
and  chiefly  known   for  its  huckleberries,  blackberries  and  snakes. 

Midway  between  the  center  and  the  Todd  place  at  the  head 
of  I  Ipper  street,  a  street  known  as  Christian  street  extended  east- 
wardly  from  the  present  High  school  corner  across  Elm  street 
and  ^water's  brook,  which  finally  unites  with  Munson's  brook 
on  Center  street,  and  then  crosses  a  little  valley,  running  up  the 
slope  past  the  old  John  Weber  and  Hubbard  Jones'  places,  and 
forming  a  most  direct  route  to  Old  Durham.  Middlefield  and 
Middletown. 

Elm  street  continuing  northward  from  its  junction  with  Chris- 
tian street,  extended  north  eastwardly  through  the  "North  Farms'

and  thus  formed  another  avenue  of  approach  to  both  Middletown 
and  its  cross  communications  with  your  Meriden. 

The  house  at  the  head  of  the  Alain  street,  known  as  the  Todd 
house,  from  the  family  occupying  it  during  my  boyhood,  should 
be  known  properly,  as  the  Royce,  or  Rice  house,  having  been 
originally  built,  perhaps  two  hundred  years  ago  or  more,  by 
James  Royce  (or  Rice)  the  great  great  grandfather  of  Miss  Mary 
L.  Rice,  the  last  of  the  family  born  in  the  old  mansion,  and  now 
a  teacher  of  higher  mathermatics  and  history,  in  the  Brooklyn, 
New  York,  school  system. 

From  the  Todd  house  to  Lower  street  there  was  also  an  open 
roadway  without  a  house,  but  on  a  short  lane  parallel  with  it  was 
the  house  of  one,  John  Beaumont,  a  world-wide  voyager,  eccen- 
tric in  his  ways,  but  especially  famous  for  relics  brought  from  the 
East  Indies,  and  choice  nautical  instruments  which  he  had  pre- 
served upon  return  from  his  last  voyage. 

From  the  foot  of  the  road  sloping  northward  from  the  Todd 
house  toward  Meriden  there  branched  another  road  to  Yalesville, 
named  after  Charles  Yale,  where  a  mill-dam  and  factory  on  the 
Ouinnipiac  river  had  long  been  in  use  (formerly  known  as  Ty- 
ler's). The  manufactory  products  of  Mr.  Yale  had  a  large  mar- 
ket, especially  at  Richmond,  Va.,  as  his  son  advised  me  only  yes- 
terday. There  was  also  a  road  on  the  "Plains"  north  of  the  Par- 
ker house  (hereafter  to  be  mentioned),  crossing  the  Ouinnipiac 
river  at  Horsford's  bridge,  and  also  the  Boston  and  New  York- 
turnpike,  thence  running  direct  to  Cheshire. 

The  so-called  Plains  road,  running  north  and  south  parallel 
with  the  Upper  street  (now  your  own  beautiful  "Old  Colony 
street),  had  but  one  substantial  residence  in  its  entire  length, 
namely  the  Parker  house,  and  was  rarely  used. 

Midway  between  Center  and  Christian  streets,  connecting  up- 
per and  lower  streets,  was  another  street  named  Academy  Lane 
(from  the  collegiate  academy  located  there). 

All  the  streets  mentioned  were  lined  with  choice  trees,  either 
elm  or  maple.  The  trees  indicated  by  its  name  on  Elm  street 
were  brought  by  ox-teams,  belonging  to  Captain  Caleb  Atwater. 
from  Cheshire,  twelve  to  the  cart  load. 


_'<)  ATWATER    HISTORY. 

The  maples  and  elms  upon  the  Main  street  had  been  indiscrim- 
inately planted  as  the  old  settlers  established  their  homes;  but 
about  sixty  years  ago  an  "Ornamental  Tree  Society"  was  organ- 
ized by  sons  of  Jared  Whittlesey,  Edgar  Atwater,  tves  Martin. 
John  Butler  and  Horace  Austin,  of  Whirl-wind  hill,  for  the  sys- 
tematic planting  of  standard  trees  throughout  the  village,  which 
ha>  so  greatly  enhanced  its  present  beauty.  It  was  my  privilege 
to  be  an  active  member  of  said  society,  and  assist,  during  school 
and  a  dlege  vacati<  »ns. 

BUILDINGS  AND  ACCESSORIES.

Between  the  Todd  house  and  Christian  street  were  those  of 
Todd.  Parker,  Hubbard,  Jones.  Parmelee,  Hough  aand  Culver. 

Between  Christian  and  Center  streets  were  thosee  of  Peck,  Eli-

Dr.  Harrison,  the  Episcopal  church.  L.  Carrington's  widow  and 
store  and  house  of  Deacon  Aimer   Hall. 

Southward  from  Center  street  were  the  Congregational  church. 
the  old  tavern  opposite,  and  the  houses  of  Whittelsey,  Congrega- 
tional parsonage',  previously  owned  by  Merrick  Cook,  Rev.  James 
Xoves.  Mrs.  Beadles,  Widow  Thompson,  Roxanna  Hall,  Eli

nolds,  replaced  by  one  of  the  "Choate  school  buildings,"  and  op- 
posite, the  double  "gable-roof  once  that  of  Squire  Stanley,"  but 

occupied  by  Rev.  William  Curtis,  rector  of  the  Episcopal  church, 
a  brother  of  Roderick  Curtis,  Esq.,  and  at  present  by  the  At- 
water  sisters  and  Mrs.  .Manning,  all  sisters  and  daughters  of  Ed- 
gar Atwater,  deceased. 

The  old  family  mansion  of  Captain  Atwater  on  the  northeast 
corner,  now  occupied  by  Judge  William  Choate,  who  married  a 
great-granddaughter  of  the  originad  owner,  retains  its  chief 
ancient  features,  the  immense  fireplacee  included,  but  otherwise 
modified  for  modern  convenience,  and  the  old  Atwater  store, 
dismantled  within  my  memory,  but  adapted  for  dwelling  purposes, 
has  been  occupied  by  Dr.  Huntington  Atwater,  who  is  associated 
in  the  management  of  the  Choate  school.  On  the  diagonal  cor- 
ner the  residence  of  Captain  Atwater  at  the  time  of  his  death, 
and  then  occupied  by  his  daughter  Mary,  widow  of  the  Rev.  Da- 
vid Lewis  Beebee,  is  still  occupied  by  her  granddaughter,  the 
widow  of  Rev.  E.  R.  Gilbert. 

In  view  across  the  Atwater  brook  were  the  houses  of  Hubbard 
Jones  and  John  Weber,  the  latter  long  since  destroyed.  Ad- 
joining Mrs.  Gilbert's  on  Elm  street  is  the  house  once  occupied 
by  Dr.  John  Andrews  (who  married  a  daughter  of  Captain  At- 
water), but  sold  the  same  to  Roderick  Curtis,  of  Xew  York,  who 
became  a  prominent  man  in  church  and  all  other  town  interests, 
and  whose  surviving-  daughter,  Miss  F.  J.  Curtis,  occupies  it. 

To  the  northward  on  Elm  street,  the  house  of  John  Ives  has 
been  purchased  and  removed  by  Judge  Choate,  but  the  Mix  house 
and  one  other  still  remain  substantially  as  of  old.  The  remain- 
ing houses  on  Elm  street  southward,  of  old  time  recollection  as 
far  as  the  foot  of  Gravel  hill,  were  Marcus  Iscariot  (torn  down 
when  purchased  by  Mr.  Curtis)  and  those  of  Randall  Cook,  Jer- 
emiah Hall,  Medad  Munson,  Sarah  Hall  and  Constant  Kirtland. 

CHURCHES. 

The  churches  were  three  in  number,  Congregational.  Episco- 
pal and  Baptist,  each  of  which  occupied  the  site  of  those  now 
in  use. 


22  ATWATEB    HISTORY. 

The  (  ongregational  edifice  preceding  the  one  now  in  use  was 
built  by  James  Carrington  as  architect,  and  its  successive  minis- 
ters were  the  Rev.  James  \o\es,  who  occupied  the  pulpit  during 
my  boyhood,  and  for  more  than  forty  years;  followed  by  the 
Rev.  Edward  K.  Gilbert,  a  trustee  of  Yale  college,  who  also  oc- 
cupied the  pulpit  for  more  than  fort_\'  years. 

The  earlier  church  edifice  of  this  society,  so-called  a  "Three 
Decker" — after  the  "Man-of-war"  fashion,  hecause  of  its  two 
galleries — had  the  old-fashioned  square  pews  of  early  times. 
When  the  second  church  was  torn  down  for  the  erection  of  the 
present  edifice,  and  the  great  "rooster"  weather  vane  was  re- 
moved, it  was  found  to  have  been  swiveled  up  in  a  rifle-barrel, 
which  the  architect,  my  grandfather,  James  Carrington,  brought 
from  the  Whitneyville  Rifle  Works,  where  he  was  superinten- 
dent, and  associeted  with  Eli  Whitney,  in  the  manufacture  of 
rifles  for  the  government.  It  was  only  yesterday,  Marcus  Coook, 
surviving  son  of  Hiram  Cook,  asked  me,  "what  has  become  of 
that  old  rifle  barrel"  and  reminded  me  that  he  was  the  boy  who 
climbed  the  old  steeple,  fastened  a  rope  around  the  spire,  sawed 
the  vertical  timbers  as  he  descended  to  boss  the  big  pull  that 
brought  the  spire  to  the  ground. 

The  Episcopal  church  preceding  the  handsome  stone  edifice 
was  a  frame  structure  and  burned  in  1867.  The  previous  edifice 
was  a  square  building  without  a  steeple,  with  entrances  from 
three  sides,  and  old-fashioned  square  pews.  A  pulpit  was  as- 
cended on  each  side  by  a  spiral  stair-case,  and  hooded  over  with 
an  umbrella-like  canopy  called  the  "sounding  board."  During 
Christmas  week  it  was  elaborately  decorated  with  evergreens. 

Close  by  the  old  Congregational  and  Episcopal  churches  were 
horse-sheds  and  small  houses,  called  "Sabaday"  or  Sabbath 
houses  to  shelter  teams  that  came  in  from  the  various  farms, 
and  to  furnish  fire  conveniences  to  the  church  attendants  for  fill- 
ing their  foot-stoves  with  live  coals,  and  brewing  tea  which  they 
brought  for  their  luncheon  at  the  noon  recess,  between  morning 
and  afternoon  service. 

The  Baptist  church  preceding  the  present  edifice,  was  a  plain 
structure  without  a  steeple.     Its  minister,  at  my  earliest  recol-

lection,  was  Rev.  Mr.  Havvley,  the  father  of  Gen.  Hawley,  then 
a  student  at  the  academy,  as  previously  noted.  A  previous 
church,  the  ruins  of  which  I  remember,  was  located  on  the  corner 
of  the  lot  at  present  occupied  by  the  Wallingford  High  school, 
and  was  known  historically  as  the  Wells  church  with  rather  in- 
definite authority. 

SCHOOLS. 

The  schools  of  Wallingford  were  specified  by  districts.  Those 
of  the  village  were  called  the  North  and  South  districts,  the  oth- 
ers, the  "North  Farm,"  "East  Farm"  and  "West  Farm"  dis- 
tricts. 

The  North  district  school  was  just  above  the  old  Aaron  An- 
drews homested,  afterwards  occupied  by  Sheriff  Leander  Parme- 
lee,  whose  house  was  destroyed  bv  the  Wallingford  tornado  in 
1878. 

The  South  district  school  was  just  south  of  the  Van  Cleve 
house  on  the  west  side  of  South  Main  street,  in  which  house  I 
was  born  in  1824.  This  was  occupied  for  many  years  by  Ran- 
dall Cook,  a  leading  Democrat,  who  then  lived  at  the  old  house 
recently  occupied  by  Beverly  Hall,  deceased. 

At  one  time  in  the  "Lower"  school  house  a  writing  school  was 
conducted ;  otherwise  only  the  common  English  branches  were 
taught  in  these  schools. 

The  Wallingford  Academy,  so-called,  occupied  the  only  build- 
ing upon  a  short  street  (called  Academy  lane)  connecting  Main 
and  Elm  streets  (then  called  Upper  and  Lower  streets).  This 
academy  taught  the  higher  branches,  preparatory  for  entrance  to 
college,  but  its  support  failed  and  its  site  was  occupied  afterwards 
by  the  Dutton  family.  The  last  surviving  pupil  of  this  academy 
was  General  and  United  States  Senator  Joseph  R.  Hawley,  lately 
deceased.  At  the  foot  of  the  slope  toward  Elm  street  was  a 
large  barn  owned  by  Jeremiah  Hall.  This  barn  was  one  of  the 
wonders  of  Wallingford.  Conversation,  shouts,  song  and  whist- 
ling echoed  with  intense  distinctness  by  night  or  day,  to  the  in- 
tense amusement  and  enjoyment  of  the  happy  performers.  The 
unsightly  barn  has  disappeared,  but  some  of  the  echoes  still  live 
in  fancy's  ear. 


24  ATWATER    HISTORY. 

Iii  contrast  with  the  failure  of  the  academy  as  a  school  for 
young  men,  a  young  ladies'  school  was  maintained  for  years  with 
rare  success  and  excellence  by  Miss  Sarah  P.  Carrington  (re- 
cently deceased,  past  ninety  years  of  age),  the  granddaughter  of 
Captain  Jeremiah  Carrington. 

Her  grace,  refinement  and  culture  were  honored  by  the  public 
as  much  as  she  was  endeared  to  all  under  her  charge;  and  her 
efficiency  in  church  work  was  as  effective  and  deserving  of  trib- 
ute as  were  other  excellencies  of  her  noble  character. 

She  was  the  daughter  of  my  great  uncle.  Dr.  Liverius  Carring- 
ton,  and  had  preserved  with  great  care  and  pride,  for  more  than 
two  generations,  an  old  yellow  paper,  upon  which  fas  the  fol- 
lowing memorandum:  "When  General  Washington  left  the  town 
lor  Middletown,  and  grandmother  expressed  her  regret  that  she 
had  not  longer  time  to  prepare  for  his  visit,  he  kindly  answered, 
'my  entertainment  has  been  more  than  I  could  expect,  hut  madam. 
your  gracious  manner  would  make  any  entertainment  most  de- 
lightful." " 

Of  my  own  early  school  days,  I  remember  little  more  than 
benches  without  backs,  playing  soldier,  nutting,  fishing,  a  passion 
for  drawing,  some  knack  in  kniving  wood  into  odd  shapes,  and 
keeping  a  crude  diary.  Its  chief  event  took  record  in  1835,  when 
a  pupil  at  the  Manual  Labor  Boarding  school  of  Rev.  Goodman 
and  Dr.  Hudson,  of  Torringford,  Conn,  (noted  Abolitionists), 
where  Rev.  Horace  Day,  late  of  New  Haven,  deceased,  was  my 
first  teacher  of  Latin  and  Greek. 

I  still  have  the  names  of  all  the  pupils,  long  since  deceased,  but 
a  single  event,  as  recorded  by  Mr.  Day  gave  tone  to  my  political 
convictions,  that  never  abates.  This  school  was  visited  one  day 
by  an  Abolitionist  from  the  adjoining  town  of  New  Hartford 
by  the  name  of  John  Brown,  who  talked  upon  the  African  slave 
trade  and  its  horrors  with  such  force  as  to  exact  from  some  of 
the  boys  a  pledge  ever  after  to  hate  slavery.  I  lis  "soul  is  march- 
ing on  !" 

Later  study  at  the  Hart  and  Porter  Boarding  school  at  Farm- 
ington,  Conn.,  introduced  my  college  course,  with  intermediate 
vacations,  at  my  old  home,  but  all  the  adult  or  companion  con-

temporaries,  many  of  them  but  vaguely  remembered,  have  passed 
away. 

HOUSES   AND    FURNISHINGS. 

With  the  exception  of  two  large  gamble-roofed  houses,  such  as 
are  still  numerous  in  Old  Salem.  Massachusetts,  of  which  the  old 
Noyes  house  is  an  example,  though  modified  in  front,  and  four 
single  story  houses  of  the  same  general  type  still  standing ;  all 
the  large  family  houses  in  town  and  on  the  farms  were  of  the 
same  general  pattern.  They  were  of  two  stories,  with  a  high 
roof  falling  back  at  the  rear  to  a  single  story  and  the  connecting- 
kitchen,  each  one  able  to  accommodate  a  large  family  with  trun- 
dle bed  accessories  for  the  little  folks. 

From  a  central  hall,  just  large  enough  for  a  small  table  and  a 
winding  stairway  to  the  upper  story,  there  were  left  a  parlor  on 
the  right  of  the  hall,  a  family  bed  room  on  the  left,  and  in  their 
rear  a  large  "keeping  room"  for  the  family,  with  a  small  bed 
room  at  each  end  for  old  folks,  or  young  children.  All  the  larger 
rooms  were  wainscotted  and  paneled  in  wood,  often  quite  elabo- 
rately. Corresponding  rooms  were  above  ;  while  the  attic  had 
its  depository  for  tow  and  flax  for  domestic  manufacturing,  a 
spinning  wheel,  reel,  quilting  frames,  and  a  loom,,  if  it  were  not 
in  a  piazza  or  shed  connected  with  the  wood-house  at  the  rear 
or  side  of  the  kitchen. 

A  great  oven  that  would  bake  pies,  cake  or  bread  by  dozens 
at  a  time,  and  a  fireplace  that  would  take  in  a  back-log  of  four 
feet  and  other  wood  to  match,  were  essentials  to  every  house. 
The  andirons,  shovel  and  tongs,  the  bellows  and  a  hinged  box 
for  kindlings  and  wood  were  always  in  place,  and  on  the  high 
mantel  over  each  smaller  fireplace,  there  rested  the  dipped  tallow 
candle,  with  snuffers,  flint  and  tinder,  ready  for  use. 

A  spare  chamber  for  guests  had  its  high  post  mahogany  bed- 
stead, with  valences  or  curtains  of  domestic  make  to  cover  the 
trundle  bed  when  it  was  hid  from  sight.  For  winter's  protection 
against  extreme  cold  a  "down  comfort"  was  supplemented  by  a 
long  handled  warming  pan,  to  be  filled  with  coals  and  put  to  a 
half  scorching  use  between  the  sheets  before  rest  was  sought  at 
night. 


26  ATWATER    HISTORY. 

The  invariable  well  with  its  old-fashioned  sweep,  was  every- 
where conspicuous  and  a  three-forked  hook  was  near  at  hand 
with  which  to  fish  for  the  bucket  when  it  broke  loose  and  -went  to 
the  bottom.  The  well,  itself,  was  the  family  refrigerator,  and, 
when  no  spring  house  was  near,  the  butter,  cream  and  fresh  meat, 
suspended  by  a  piece  of  bed-cord  or  clothese  line,  let  the  precious 
objects  of  care  down  to  the  water's  surface  for  their  preservation 
and  safety. 

"Quilting  bees"  were  common,  and  the  domestic  manufacture 
of  carpets  and  of  lace,  as  well  as  embroidery,  were  trophies  of 
di  imestic  skill  that  rivaled  in  beauty  and  durability  the  more  costly 
products  of  foreign  loom  or  manufacture. 

Of  these  domestic  manufactures  too  much  cannot  be  said. 

Indeed,  both  gentlemen  and  ladies  were  adepts  in  the  preserva- 
tion and  renewal  of  the  best  styles  of  colonial  personal  adorn- 
ment, and  on  gala  days  or  night  assemblies,  the  lace  caps,  collars 
and  cuffs  which  adorned  the  fair  sex,  were  rivalled  in  conspicuous 
smartness  and  good  taste  by  the  silver  knee  and  shoe  buckles  of 
their  gallants,  of  all  ages,  who  were  as  courtly  on  such  occasions 
as  they  were  systematically  industrious,  frugal  and  yet  prosper- 
ous, in  farming  and  manufacture.  The  high  heels  of  the  white 
satin  shoes  of  the  ladies  were  as  striking  as  the  top  boots  of  the 
gentlemen,  and  even  the  night  caps  imitated  in  a  small  measure 
the  bountiful  lace  adornment  of  such  dress-caps  as  were  worn 
at  all  high  social  entertainments. 

Two  specialties  of  head-covering  are  not  to  be  ignored,  because 
simple  and  useful,  and  as  cunning  as  they  were  simple  and  useful. 
The  girls,  spinsters  included,  had  their  peek-a-boo  "sunbonnets" 
with  long  neck-protecting  capes,  and  an  extension  frontward,  m 
a  little  stovepipe  gallery,  where  they  could  whisper,  regardless 
of  sex,  and  not  disclose  to  the  outsider  whether  their  lips  actually 
touched  during  the  confidential  interview.  Another  apology  for 
a  "bonnet"  folded  backwards  like  a  carriage-top,  at  a  quick  toss 
of  the  fingers  backward,  appropriately  called  the  "Calach"  and 
by  a  handy  tape  in  front  could  be  quickly  brought  forward  to 
screen  the  observer,  or  the  observed,  as  its  owner  (perhaps  I 
should  say,  its  occupant)  wished  to  be  recognized  or  not. 


ATWATER    HISTORY.  2J 

None  of  these  adornments,  however,  were  more  becoming  or 
enjoyable,  than  the  Linsey-Woolsey  skirts,  linen  aprons  and 
pretty  kerchiefs  when  worn  in  the  kitchen's  sphere  of  duty. 

The  churn  and  cheese  press  were  the  con-comitants  of  every 
well  furnished  kitchen  or  pantry,  and  about  the  back  door  as  well 
as  in  the  spacious  barnyard  near  by,  turkeys,  geese,  chickens, 
ducks,  pea-hens  and  rabbits  enjoyed  life  at  the  will  of  their  mis- 
tress. 

FARMING   AND   ITS   ACCESSORIES. 

Wallingford  farmers  generally  were  of  a  high  order  of  intel- 
lectual and  social  merit,  as  well  as  loyal  to  church  opportunity 
and  influence. 

Their  barns  were  spacious  buildings  of  two  stories,  with  a  large 
entrance  that  would  admit  hay-loads  of  more  than  a  ton ;  with 
storage  mows  reaching  to  the  roof ;  with  the  lower  story  on  one 
or  both  sides  arranged  for  stock,  bins  for  grain,  and  cupboards 
for  harness,  yokes  and  all  manner  of  farming  utensils.  Water 
was  always  at  hand ;  stock  was  cared  for  with  patient  and  unre- 
mitting labor,  largely  raising  their  own,  though  quick  to  improve 
its  brood  from  better. 

Their  labor  was  so  well  systematized  that  it  was  no  loss  of 
time  but  stimulus  to  a  fresh  week  of  industry,  to  take  their  fam- 
ilies in  their  comfortable  wagons  or  carriages  and  attend  church 
regularly  on  the  Sabbath.  This  brought  them  to  the  post-office, 
and  many  social  reunions  with  friends  in  the  village. 

Horses  were  not  used  for  heavy  draught,  but  oxen  only,  which 
were  kept  in  prime  condition,  and  competitive  tests  for  proffered 
prizes  were  anticipated  with  great  pride  and  ambition  as  to  the 
result. 

Their  relations  with  each  other  were  fraternal  and  cordial. 
If  a  new  barn  or  house  were  to  be  raised  or  moved,  it  was  not 
unusual  to  find  enough  volunteers  to  put  up  a  large  frame  in  one, 
or  at  most  three  days,  ready  for  the  roof,  and,  in  moving  days, 
it  was  not  rare  to  find  two  'strings"  of  teams  of  twenty  and  even 
forty  yoke  at  hand  for  the  purpose.  The  boss  was  master  of  his 
business,  and  the  men  were  so  distributed  that  not  a  roller  lost 
its  place.     The  first  start  was  attended  by  shouts  to  teams,  and 


_>S  ATWATER   HISTORY. 

the  swing  of  the  long  whips  was  effected  with  as  much  precision 
as  that  of  a  light  battery  in  motion. 

Thanks  to  their  superior  women  and  bright  girls  of  their  own 
blood,  all  the  details  of  kitchen  and  pantry  and  the  machinery  of 
churn  and  cheese-press,  as  well  as  of  wash-board,  were  admirably 
adjusted  tor  the  best  results;  and  while  the  men  were  mar- 
keting their  farm  produce,  the  butter,  eggs,  cheese  and  poultry 
of  the  mother's  care  always  commanded  the  highest  market 
price. 

It  was  reallv  a  day  of  recreation  as  well  as  of  fatigue  when 
the  weekly  or  monthly  ride  to  the  Xew  Haven  market  gave  the 
opportunity  not  only  to  trade,  but  to  visit  the  capitol  of  the  state. 
The  turkeys,  eggs,  chickens,  guinea-pigs  and  ducks  were  their 
special  charge,  and  not  unseldom  the  pea-cock  proudly  strutted 
about  the  poultry  yard,  as  highly  prized  as  a  choice  new  rose 
would  he  by  the  girls  who  cared  for  the  garden.  The  cider  mill 
and  the;cider  cheese  press  were  indispensable  adjuncts  to  every 
farm  house. 

WALLINGFORD  AS   IT    W  \>. 

The  farm  products  were  generally  hay,  rye.  oats,  buckwheat, 
turnips,  potatoes,  carrots,  squash,  artichokes,  corn  and  pumpkinss. 

Soon  after  the  corn  was  dry  in  the  shacks  there  followed  night 
entertainments  when  the  young  men  and  maidens  had  their  "husk- 
in--  bees."  By  the  slim  blazing  of  dipped  candles,  safely  placed  in 
a  large  apple  or  turnip,  and  to  he  snuffed  with  the  ringers,  there 
began  the  jolly  sport  of  eager  watching  for  the  red  ears.  Then 
mid  laughter  and  no  little  blushing,  the  standard  prize  or  penalty 
that  fell  to  the  possessor  evolved  shouts  of  applause  or  derision 
and  suspicious  guesses  as  to  the  future  lot  of  both  young  man 
and  maiden  who  took  a  prize  or  suffered  the  penalty. 

(  )f  course  every  farm  whether  attached  to  the  village  or  else- 
where had  its  apple,  pear,  and  peach  orchards,  as  well  as  its 
quince  and  apricot,  hop  vines  and  asparagus  beds.  Smaller  fruits 
as  well  as  vegetable  and  flowers,  belonged  to  the  "family  gar- 
den" and  were  especially  under  the  mother's  care.

POWER,    FACTORIES,    INVENTION. 

Wallingford  center  was  so  remote  from  the  river  where  Hum- 
inston  had  built  his  successful  mill,  that  nearer  avenues  of  wa- 
terpower  became  a  matter  of  necessity  as  well  as  of  economy. 
Just  over  the  hill,  eastward  on  Christian  street,  there  was  a  valley 
and  quite  a  powerful  stream  (known  as  George  Cook's  brook). 
At  its  crossing  the  road  to  Durham,  a  dam  was  built  by  Leander 
Parmelee,  where  he  erected  a  small  factory.  This  stream  con- 
tinued through  the  same  valley,  southward,  and  made  a  turn 
westward  just  as  it  reached  the  extension  of  Center  street  to  the 
east.  At  this  point  James  Carrington  erected  a  heavy  dam  and 
built  a  factory.  The  "escape  water"  from  this  dam  formed  the 
Munson  brook,  which  at  Center  street  was  joined  by  the  Atwater 
brook,  before  noticed. 

To  substitute  mechanical  means  in  the  place  of  the  old  mortar 
and  pestle  for  family  use  in  grinding  coffee  and  spices,  Mr.  Car- 
rington invented  and  for  a  long  time  manufactured  under  his  pat- 
ent the  first  hand  coffee  and  spice  mill  ever  fabricated. 

From  the  waste  water  from  this  dam,  the  Pomeroy  brothers 
manufactured  buttons,  razor-straps,  gimblets  and  other  useful  ar- 
ticles, and  Elihu  Hall  erected  a  factory  for  Japanned  ware,  wood- 
en bowls  and  wagon-fittings. 

Mr.  Carrington  also  rented  the  Parmelee  factory,  before  no- 
ticed, where  he  manufactured  from  mahogany  the  first  parallel 
"rulers"  ever  invented. 

On  the  North  Farms  at  the  original  source  of  the  water  sup- 
ply, that  successively  filled  the  Parmelee  and  Carrington  ponds, 
Mr.  William  Hill  also  erected  a  dam  and  factory  for  manufactur- 
ing purposes.  Among  his  specialties  were  boxwood  combs,  both 
single  and  folding  combs.  Harvey  S.  Hall  made  wagon-poles, 
whiffietrees,  etc.  The  Wallaces,  since  becoming  famous  in  their 
silver  manufacture,  on  the  Quinnipiac  river,  made  beginnings 
with  metallic  spoons  of  German  silver,  in  1835. 

Friction  matches  were  also  made  on  the  North  Farms,  variously 
known  among  us  either  as  "brimstone  matches"  or  "Lucifer 
matches."  Nathan  Fenn,  a  specialist,  commended  his  original 
packages  by  this  brilliant  effusion.     "Nathan  Fenn's  matches  are 


3° 


ATWATER    HISTORY 


all  verv  good.  They  are  made  of  brimstone,  phosporous  and 
wood."  It  cannot  be  questioned  that  more  light  has  been  struck 
through  this  Wallingford  invention  than  from  any  other  sources, 
except  those  that  are  either  solar  or  through  electricity. 

At  the  head  of  the  Atwater  brook,  just  beyond  the  old  Ives 
house,  north  of  Christian  street,  the  same  Parmelee  built  a  dam 
and  a  factory  to  be  rented  for  various  uses.  Not  long  after  this, 
Edgar  Atwater  erected  a  dam  and  factory  two  miles  below  the 
rlummiston  mill  on  the  Quinnipiac  river.  This  mill  was  at  the 
head  of  tidewater,  and  a  long  time  ago  small  sloops  and  schoon- 
ers were  built  there  and  floated  to  Fair  Haven  for  complete  equip- 
ment. Such,  at  least,  is  matter  of  tradition,  not  of  individual 
recollection. 

These  business  ventures  gave  employment  to  many  young  men 
and  afforded  to  Wallingford  a  valuable  export  trade  and  laid  the 
foundation  for  other  developments,  which  in  the  case  of  the  Car- 
rington  pond,  finally  resulted  in  the  immense  establishment  of  sil- 
verware of  Simpson  &  Company,  with  a  market  world-wide  of 
its  enduring  success.  The  Wallaces  also  after  the  introduction 
of  steam,  engaged  in  the  silverware  business  near  the  river,  and 
the  present  extensive  establishments  erected  on  the  old  "Plains" 
testify  to  the  wisdom  and  sagacity  of  those  who  substituted  man- 
ufacture  for  worn-out  farming  in  good  old  Wallingford. 

WALLINGFORD    INDEPENDENT. 

A  crowning  element  of  the  stability  and  growth  of  Walling- 
ford was  its  practical  indepnedence  of  the  outside  world  for  its 
own  mechanical  necessities.  The  stores  of  Carrington  &  Rut- 
land, Jared  Lewis,  Aimer  Hall,  and  Captain  Atwater.  were  first- 
class  for  the  period,  and  dry  goods,  hardware  groceries,  farm 
and  garden  implements  as  well  as  cheap  candies,  cocoanuts  and 
peanuts  were  always  kept  in  good  supply.  Drugs  of  all  kinds, 
fluid,  solid  or  dried  herbs  and  pills  together  with  ball  liquorice 
and  stick  liquorice  and  a  few  candles  were  kept  by  Dr.  Barker, 
Dr.  Friend  Cook  and  Dr.  Harrison,  his  successor,  at  their  home 
ofhe

tion  and  converted  into  a  residence  for  his  son  John  who  suc- 
ceeded to  the  practical  management  of  his  large  farm,  was  pecu- 
liar in  its  supplies.  It  was  close  by  the  homestead  at  the  corner 
of  Christian  and  Elm  streets.  A  husiness  with  the  West  Indies 
and  with  Mediterranean  ports  demanded  the  erection  of  a  large 
barn  near  by,  called  the  "Potash"  and  potash,  saltpeter,  charcoal, 
lime  and  similar  products  were  its  sole  deposits. 

From  these  the  materials  for  powder  were  procured  for  Wash- 
ington's army  while  at  Newport,  and  the  store  itself  had  a  large 
trade  with  Durham  and  other  towns  east  and  northeast  of  Wal- 
lingford. 

Three  large  wagon,  cart  and  carriage  shops,  that  were  really 
factories,  viz..  those  of  Munson,  Beadles  and  Thompson,  so  thor- 
ouoghly  made,  painted  and  finished  their  products,  that  their  own- 
ers commanded  markets  beyond  the  town  limits.  For  leather- 
belting,  or  shoe  fittings  required  by  its  shoemakers  or  ordinary 
cobblers,  there  was  little  need  to  go  even  to  New  Haven,  except 
for  Morocco  and  some  fancy  leather.  The  tannery  of  Medad 
Munson  was  on  a  large  scale,  and  also  commanded  other  than 
home  patronage.  The  Ward  Brothers  at  the  northwest  corner 
of  Main  street  and  Gravel  Hill,  were  not  only  hatters  and  carpet 
weavers,  but  manufacturers  of  pewter  coffee  and  teapots,  and  for 
want  of  water  power,  used  what  was  called  sweep-power.  The 
track  upon  which  the  horse  in  his  circuit  developed  this  power 
soon  went  to  grass,  spoiling  the  fun  of  rude  boys,  who  used 
birch  stimulants  when  the  old  horse  became  too  lazy. 

The  autumn  hog  and  beef  killing  not  only  supplied  the  farm- 
ers' cellars  with  its  beef  and  hams  fresh  from  the  smoke  house. 
but  a  surplus  for  others  who  did  not  kill  stock  of  their  own.  so 
that  it  was  a  long  time  before  Jeremiah  Hall  set  in  motion  his 
butchering  and  meat  deliveries  that  finally  made  a  meat  market 
a  necessity  in  the  town. 

Most  families  kept  pigs,  which  fed  from  troughs  of  their  own. 
and  the  dipping  of  tallow  candles  was  as  common  in  the  homes  as 
the  preparation  of  the  sausage  for  the  winter's  use. 

At  the  spring  "shad  haul"  on  the  Connecticut,  a  supply  was 
procured  to  be  salted  for  winter's  use.  and  great  bins  of  potatoes

in  everybody's  cellar  together  with  other  garden  vegetables,  care- 
fully cultivated  in  garden  patches,  were  adequate  for  almost  town 
necessities. 

For  everything  raised  beyond  the  town  needs.  New  Haven 
was  a  ready  market,  and  for  a  series  of  years  the  poor  house 
of  Wallingford,  was  peopled  by  few  who  needed  its  assistance  or 
self-support. 

BOOKS   AND  EDUCATIONAL  CULTURE. 

[would,  indeed,  be  wanting  in  appreciation  of  "Wallingford 

a^  it  was'  and  has  been,  if  I  failed  to  make  mention  of  the  fact 
that  her  close  relation  to  New  Haven,  as  well  as  to  Hartford  and 
Middletown,  made  for  the  families  of  the  Congregational,  Episco- 
pal and  Baptist  churches  welcome  resorts  for  the  education  of  her 
youth,  which  abundantly  supplied  the  place,  and  made  unneces- 
sary the  academy  once  started  in  their  midst.  The  preparatory 
schools  for  higher  education  at  the  colleges  of  the  respective  de- 
nominations at  those  places,  and  the  Episcopal  school  at  Cheshire, 
were  of  easy  and  frequent  access,  and  Yale  college  not  only  was 
represented  at  Wallingford  for  more  than  a  century  by  a  mem- 
ber of  her  board  of  trustees  (called  fellows),  but  Wallingford 
young  men,  even  within  my  memory,  took  the  valedictory  at  Vale. 
as  well  as  one  at  Princeton,  and  several  of  her  sons  became  most 
distinguished  lawyers,  judges,  bankers  and  educators  west  of 
the   Alleghanies. 

By  the  side  of  the  fireplace  in  nearly  every  homestead  was  a 
book  cupboard.  Standard  commentaries  upon  the  Bible,  suited 
to  each  church  connection  were  there.  The  "Pilgrims'  Prog- 
ress" and  standard  works  of  all  kinds  with  a  good  English  dic- 
tionary were  there.  Of  clean  fiction  the  "Scottish  Chiefs"  and 
"Thaddeus  of  Warsaw"  were  favorites,  as  well  as  Scott's  work 
when  they  appeared.  Robinson  Crusoe  and  the  Arabian  Nights 
and  "Mother  <  loose"  and  other  literature  were  there,  all  of  which 
was  in  good  English  vernaculary,  fitted  to  teach  the  language 
and  stimulate  thought.  And  not  least  of  all.  as  an  auxiliary  was 
the  fact  that  "hired  man"  or  "family  help"  when  needed  in  the 
kitchen,  could  read  the  English  language  and  speak  it  correctly. 


ATWATER    HISTORY.  33 


GENEALOGY  AND  HISTORY. 


FIRST  GENERATION. 


1.  David  Atwater,  son  of  Thomas  and  Susan  Narsen,  baptized  in  Len- 
ham  church  October  8,  1615.  He  was  born  in  Royton  in  Lenham,  Eng- 
land, and  in  the  month  in  which  he  became  twenty-one  years  of  age, 
October,  1636,  his  father  died,  and  his  mother  died  scarcely  more  than 
two  months  later, — in  January,  1637.  In  less  than  six  months  from  the 
latter  event,  June  26,  1637,  the  brothers,  Joshua  and  David,  with  their 
sister  Ann,  arrived  in  Boston.  It  cannot  be  doubted  that  their  ar- 
rangements for  removal,  so  hastily  made  at  that  time  of  general  dis- 
content and  apprehension  in  church  and  state  affairs,  involved  large  pe- 
cuniary sacrifices. 

It  is  seen  that  David  was  in  his  twenty-second  year  when  he  came  to 
New  England  in  1637.  If  he  was  one  of  those  who  accompanied  Mr. 
Eaton  to  Quinnipiack  in  the  autumn  of  that  year,  he  returned  to  Boston, 
for  only  seven  of  the  company,  of  whom  Joshua  was  one,  remained  at 
Quinnipiack.  It  may  be  believed  that  David  and  his  sister  Ann,  re- 
maining in  Boston  that  winter,  sailed  with  the  company  for  their  new 
home  in  the  spring  of  1638.  He  signed  the  plantation  covenant  June  4, 
1639,  the  day  of  the  meeting  of  the  constituent  assembly  in  Mr.  New- 
man 's  barn,  which  was  the  commencement  or  foundation  of  the  Colony 
of  New  Haven. 

He  was  unmarried  previous  to  1643,  when  he  appears  alone  on  the 
list  of  planters,  with  a  valuation  upon  his  estate  of  £500,  "according  t) 
which  he  will  pay  his  proportion  in  all  Rates  and  Public  charges  from 
time  to  time  to  be  assessed  for  civil  uses,  and  expect  Lands  in  all  divi- 
sions which  shall  generally  be  made  to  the  planters."  He  was  one  of 
twenty-nine  whose  estates  were  on  the  list  at  £500  or  more. 

He  married  Damaris  Sayre,  daughter  of  Thomas  Sayre,  of  Southamp- 
ton, L.  I.,  before  March  10,  1646-7,  the  date  of  the  General  Court,  whi  1 
the  name  of  "David  Atwater's  wife"  was  read  among  those  seated  i  1 
the  meeting-house.  She  died  April  7,  1691.  Upon  the  union  of  the  New 
Haven  and  Connecticut  Colonies,  consummated  nt  :i  General  Courl  held 
at  Hartford,  May  11,  1665,  David  Atwater  was  the  first  of  the  New  li- 
ven Colony  who  was  sworn  a  freeman  of  the  united  colony,  lie  died  Oc- 
tober 5,  1692.

Francis  At  water,  Esq.: 

Meriden,  Conn. 

Dear  Sir: — Jacob  Atwater  and  family  have  a  well-filled  place  in  you] 
Atwater  History.  I  would  have  used  some  of  its  records  (with  your 
consent)  in  my  Colonial  History,  if  access  to  it  was  known,  while  looking 
for  such  material.  I  have  a  photo  of  the  old  Bradley  House  there.  The 
Bradley  boys  (4)  and  two  girls  were  schoolmates  with  me.  They  all  left 
the  old  home  which  has  become  sadly  demoralized  in  looks  and  thrift. 
Quite  a  romance  now  hangs  over  the  place.  Fenn  became  owner  of  the 
farm  and  built  a  new  house.  He  had  some  money  acquired  in  manufac- 
ture. For  many  years  Fenn  has  lived  there  alone — his  wife  died  and 
children  left  him.  He  died  last  August  or  about  that  time,  having  beea 
injured  by  a  passing  train  of  cars.  His  estate  is  valued  at  more  than 
$10,000,  much  invested  funds.  The  farm  is  a  wreck.  $800  or  more  in 
cash  has  been  found  secreted  in  small  sums  about  the  house  and  barn. 
Forty  pocketbooks,  most  of  them  containing  money,  were  scattered 
about.  Some  of  the  money  was  tucked  away  behind  barrels  in  the  cellar. 
The  place  has  become  one  of  Connecticut's  abandoned  farms  with  even 
$10,000  in  possession.  When  in  possession  of  Jacob  Atwater  prosperity 
must  have  smiled  there,  and  a  son  graduated  from  Yale,  Rev.  Jason  At- 
water. Very  briefly  yours, 

J.  H.  DICKERMAX.

and  after  our  love  and  respects  to  you,  I  would  inform  you  that  we  are 
all  in  a  considerable  state  of  health  as  I  hope  these  lines  will  find  you 
and  yours,  and  whereas  we  are  informed  that  you  are  about  to  enter 
into  the  marig  covenant  again,  and  as  you  have  sent  to  us  to  know  our 
minds,  we  take  it  well,  and  as  to  the  man  we  hear  you  are  agoing  to 
have,  we  have  been  formerly  well  acquainted  with  him  and  we  have 
reason  to  respect  him  well.  So  that  no  objection  ariseth  there,  and  as 
for  your  circumstances  in  the  world  you  know  them  much  better  than 
we  doe,  and  herefore  we  are  willing  to  leave  the  mater  with  you,  hop- 
ing you  may  be  directed  to  that  which  may  be  more  for  your  comfort,  and 
notwithstanding  what  I  have  written  above,  you  may  understand  your 
mother  and  I  both  to  be  under  the  infirmities  of  old  age,  and  I  have 
nothing  further  to  add  at  present,  but  we  remain  your  friends  and  father

Of  Timothy  it  is  related  during  the  invasion  of  New  Haven  by  the 
British  July  5,  1779,  was  a  member  of  a  military  company  in  New 
Haven.  He  had  gone  out  early  in  the  morning  to  work  in  a  field  some- 
where in  the  region  of  Hillhouse  avenue.  Hearing  the  alarm  guns  he 
started  to  return  to  town.  On  the  road  he  met  a  woman  whom  he  knew 
hurrying  out  of  town  with  a  cat  in  her  arms.  Calling  her  by  name  he 
said,  "What  is  the  matter?"  She  cried  out  that  the  enemy  were  com- 
ing. "But  where  are  your  children?"  "Why  at  home,  I  suppose," 
was  her  reply.  "Well,"  said  Mr.  Atwater,  "hadn't  you  better  go 
back  and  get  them  and  leave  the  cat?"  "Perhaps  I  had,"  she  an- 
swered and  went  back.  After  the  enemy  got  possession  of  the  town 
Mr.  Atwater's  house  was  entered  among  others  by  them.  A  soldier 
who  went  in,  finding  some  of  the  females  of  the  family,  attempted  to 
kiss  one  of  them,  but  being  resisted  withdrew  from  his  undertaking. 
Another,  who  had  a  long,  straight  sword,  probably  that  of  a  sergeant, 
went  down  into  the  cellar  and  thrust  it  several  times  into  the  pork 
barrel  till  he  succeeded  in  transfixing  some  pieces  of  pork,  when  he 
went   off  with  his  prize.

Mr.   Francis  Atwater, 


Detroit,   Mich.,   Dec.   21,    1904. 


Dear  Sir:  I  have  your  letter  of  the  18th,  regarding  Mr.  Reuben  A 1 1 - 
water.  I  had  read  the  printed  article  you  sent  before,  and  there  must 
be  either  a  mistake  in  that  or  in  your  letter.  According  to  the  book,  he 
died  after  1858;  according  to  your  letter  he  died  in  1831.  You  ask 
whether  our  probate  records  go  as  far  back  as  1831.  The  official  rec- 
ords of  this  county  go  back  to  1796,  but  I  have  copies  of  records  per- 
taining to  the  county  that  go  back  to  1701.  The  British  records,  of 
which  I  also  have  copies,  commence  at  1760. 

Mr.  Attwater  did  not  die  in  Detroit.  He  came  here  either  in  1805 
or  shortly  after,  as  secretary  to  Gov.  Wm.  Hull — that  is,  secretary  of 
the  territory.  He  remained  here  unil  1812,  and  apparently  left  before 
Detroit  was  taken  by  the  British. 

I  do  not  think  he  was  a  prisoner,  and  my  reason  for  so  thinking  is, 
that  in  1814,  William  Woodbridge  was  appointed  secretary  in  his  place, 
and  Attwater  called  upon  Pres.  Madison,  and  told  him  that  he  was  will- 
ing to  return  to  Detroit,  and  wanted  to  know  why  he  had  been  super- 
ceded. Mr.  Madison  told  him  that  there  should  have  been  no  necessity 
for  him  returning  to  Detroit,  as  he  had  never  been  ordered  to  leave  that 
place.  This  piece  of  information  is  contained  in  a  letter  in  my  posses- 
sion, written  at  that  time  by  a  member  of  Congress  from  Ohio,  who  had 


JO  ATWATER    HISTORY. 

been  instrumental  iu  getting  Woodbridge  appointed,  and  I  have  no 
doubt  that  the  story  came  from  Madison  himself.  I  have  a  good  many 
papers,  official  and  unofficial,  in  my  collecions,  signed  by  Mr.  Attwater. 
I  presume  I  could  write  a  fairly  good  sketch  of  his  life  from  such  in- 
formation as  I  possess.  I  think  I  have  seen  a  sketch  somewhere,  but  I 
do  not  now  recall  where.  It  is  a  matter  of  no  great  importance  to  me 
just  at  this  time,  but  I  was  looking  over  his  old  correspondence  regard- 
ing Woodbridge  and  Cass,  and  Meigs  and  McArthur  and  I  found  it  very 
interesting  and  took  a  few  items  out  of  it  for  an  address,  which  I  ex- 
pect to  deliver  in  a  few  days  in  this  city. 

If  you  should  run  across  any  details  regarding  his  life,  I  will  be  glad 
to  have  them.        ■  Eespectfully  yours, 

C.  M.  BUETON.

74  ATWATER    EISTORY. 

He  was  the  earliest  historian  of  Ohio;  had  a  national  reputation.  His 
life  was  long  and  included  many  vocations — minister,  lawyer,  educator, 
business  man,  legislator,  Indian  commissioner,  author  and  antiquarian. 
Mr  was  a  direct  descendant  of  David  Atwater,  one  of  the  wealthiest  of 
tin'  original  settlers  who  founded  New  Haven,  in  103s,  and  tins.'  were 
among  the  most  reputable  and  affluent  of  all  the  body  of  colonists  in 
America.  All  of  that  old  New  England  stock  is  nearly  related.  Al- 
most the  entire  emigration  was  in  fourteen  years,  from  1638  to  1652, 
when  20,000  people  in  all  came  over.  After  that  they  came  simply  as 
snow  flurries  after  a  storm.  These  20,000  married  young  and  had  large 
families,  often  a  dozen  children  each,  so  that  at  the  beginning  of  this 
century  they  had  increased  to  over  a  million.  The  result  is,  as  eenealo- 
gists  ascertain,  all  are  about  in  some  degree  of  cousinship  to  the  rest. 

Caleb  Atwater  was  born  on  Christmas  day,  1778,  at  North  Adams, 
Massachusetts,  was  educated  at  Williams  College  where  he  took  the 
highest  honors  ever  awarded,  receiving  both  degrees  of  A.  B.  and  A.  M., 
upon  commencement  day.  He  had  charge  of  a  young  ladies'  seminary 
in  New  York  City  and  at  the  same  time  studied  theology,  was  ordained 
a  Presbyterian  minister,  married  Miss  Diana  Lawrence  of  the  celebrated 
Lawrence  stock,  by  whom  he  had  a  daughter,  who  died  in  infancy.  His 
wife  quickly  followed  her  offspring  and  was  deeply  lamented.  Later, 
Rev.  Mr.  Atwater  studied  law,  having  left  the  ministry  on  account  of 
ill  health,  was  admitted  to  the  bar  and  married  again — a  Miss  Belinda 
Butler,  of  Pompey,  New  York,  daughter  of  Judge  Butler.  He  then  went 
into  business  and  not  succeeding  to  his  satisfaction  went  west  and  es- 
tablished himself  in  Circleville  in  1815.  He  resumed  the  practice  of  law, 
was  sent  to  the  Ohio  legislature  where  he  championed  the  cause  of  the 
common  school  and  framed  the  first  statute  upon  the  subject  passeW  by 
the  commonwealth.  He  was  also  one  of  the  original  minority  to  advo- 
cate the  introduction  of  canals  and  when  finally  the  first  one  was  opened 
he  accompanied  Gov.  DeWitt  Clinton,  of  New  York,  upon  a  triumphal 
tour  throughout  the  state,  as  a  tribute  to  the  interest  of  the  former  in  such 
projects  elsewhere.  At  the  close  of  his  legislative  duties  he  was  sent  by 
President  Jackson  as  commissioner  to  the  Winnebago  Indians  and  other 
tribes,  at  Galena,  Illinois  and  Prairie  du  Chien. 

He  early  turned  his  attention  to  authorship,  and  his  first  book  grew 
out  of  his  coming  to  a  town  which  was  built  around  a  circle,  laid  out 
by  the  mound  builders.  They  had  arranged  their  dwellings  around  it 
as  a  nucleus,  put  their  Temple  of  Justice  i.  e.  the  Pickaway  County  Court 
House  in  the  center,  and  radiated  their  streets  from  the  circumference. 
Thus  becoming  interested  in  Archaeology  he  issued  his  "Archaelogia 
Americana  upon  Western  Antiquities. ' '  This  work  attracted  great  at- 
tention from  foreign  savants  and  he  was  elected  to  membership  in  the 
principal  scientific  societies  of  Europe.     His    fame    also    as    an  original

investigator  upon  such  lines  was  widely  conceded  in  this  land.  Later  he 
published  "A  Tour  to  Prairie  du  Chien, "  " Washngton, ' '  "An  Essay- 
on  Education,"  "Writings  of  Caleb  Atwater, "  and  in  1838,  his  cele- 
brated "History  of  Ohio." 

.He  was  a  man  of  marked  physique — heavily  moulded,  with  dark 
and  complexion  and  a  Roman  nose — characteristics  of  the  Atwater  per- 
sonality. He  was  a  wonderful  talker  and  had  an  encyclopaedic  mind. 
He  was  said  to  be  informed  to  the  least  detail  upon  every  known  subject. 
He  was  the  associate  of  the  first  men  of  Ohio  and  the  country.  His 
friendship  was  greatly  valued  and  his  power  in  epigrammatic  speech 
made  his  comments  notable.  A  theme  upon  which  he  often  dilated  was 
his  visits  to  President  Jackson,  both  at  the  Hermitage,  and  also  at  the 
White  House.  He  exercised  a  remarkable  influence  upon  the  thought  of 
his  time.  He  died  in  Circleville  March  16,  1867,  aged  89  years,  uni- 
versally lamented  and  was  buried  in  Forest  cemetery,  which  overlooks 
the  city  of  his  regard.  He  had  a  large  family  who  have  represented  his 
traits  of  versatility  and  accurate  scholarship  in  many  walks   of   life.

The  following  letter  is  from  John  to  his  sister  Abigail  in  1831,  show- 
ing how  great  the  distances  seemed  and  the  chance  methods  of  sending 
mail,   it   being  sent  from  Genoa,  N.  Y.,  to  Hamden,  Conn. 

Dear  Sister:  Although  I  have  long  been  absent  from  you,  I  have  not 
forgotten  you.  I  should  be  glad  to  see  you,  but  it  is  not  probable  that  we 
shall  ever  meet  again  in  this  world,  for  the  combined  infirmities  of  age 
will  compel  both  you  and  me  to  remain  near  our  dwellings,  and  to  re- 
tire from  the  business  of  life. 

My  health  is  as  good  as  I  could  expect,  and  I  fondly  hope  that  you 
are  enjoying  the  same  blessing,  and  may  you  continue  to  enjoy  blessings, 
both  temporal  and  spiritual,  the  few  remaining  days  you  have  to  spend 
here  on  earth. 

My  family  are  in  usual  health.  Our  sisters  Sally  and  Susan  are  well. 
Susan's  son  Jason  is  sick;  it  is  not  probable  that  he  will  survive  but  a 
few  days.  It  would  be  pleasing  to  me  to  see  you,  but  I  suppose  that 
your  advanced  age  will  prevent  you  from  undertaking  so  great  a  jour- 
ney; and  it  is  not  probable  that  I  shall  ever  be  able  to  visit  you.  Brother 
Caleb's  son  Jesse  is  dead.  He  died  about  three  weeks  ago  from  a  fit  of 
apoplexy.  He  had  been  from  home  on  business,  and  had  returned  with 
one  of  his  neighbors,  with  whom  he  proposed  to  tarry  during  the  night. 


86  ATWATER    HISTORY. 

He  accordingly  seated  himself  before  the  fire,  and  soon  after  fell  from 
his  chair  dead. 

I  expect  to  send  this  by  Mr.  Timothy  Goodyear.  He  will  tell  you  more 
about  our  friends  than  1  have  time  to  write.  Mrs.  Atwater  wishes  to  be 
remembered  to  you.  Give  my  best  respects  to  Mr.  Foot  and  wife.  My 
Susan  sends  her  complimens  to  you  all.  I  should  be  glad  to  hear  from 
you  often.     Write  by  bearer  of  this  if  you  can. 

I  still  remain  your  affectionate  brother, 

John  Atwater.

Haven  county,  aboul  eighteen  miles  from  the  city,  on  a  farm,  going  in- 
to the  city  a  few  years  before  her  marriage.  They  remained  there  until 
the  spring  of  1832,  when  Mr.  Atwater  removed  to  Massillon,  Ohio,  then 
considered  way  out  West.  Two  months  later  Mrs.  Atwater  started,  go 
ing  all  the  way  by  water  from  Albany  to  Buffalo.  She  wenl  on  Hie  last 
boat  that  ran  until  after  the  cholera  3Care,  the  boat  being  "tied  up*' 
at  Buffalo.  Her  husband  met  her  there  ami  as  the  boat  was  several 
hours  late.  Lis  anxiety  about  his  wife  and  infant  son  can  well  be  imag- 
ined. They  crossed  the  lake  to  Cleveland,  and  thence  in  a  canal  boat 
to  Massillon,  then  in  its  infancy,  with  but  few  scattered  houses.  h, 
1840  Mr.  Atwater  died,  leaving  her  with  four  little  children,  an  infant 
daughter  having  died  one  week  before.  When  her  son-in-law,  Jacob  L. 
Baehtel,  died  in  1879,  she  went  to  live  with  her  daughter,  where  she 
remained  until  her  death  March  1,  1903.  Mis.  Atwater  became  a  mem- 
ber of  the  Methodist  church  in  1842  ami  for  many  years  was  an  active 
working  member,  and  later  on  a  living  example  of  patiently  waiting  for 
the  Master's  call,  she  had  a  sweet,  amiable  temper,  cheerful  disposi- 
tion, industrious  to  an  unsuual  degree  and  will  always  be  remembered  as 
sitting  plying  her  needle,  with  which  she  was  very  expert;  had  an  ex- 
cellent   constitution,   rarely   ever  sick,  has  said   she   was  not   sick   a   day 

for   over   thirty  years.      Up   to   her   ninety-second   year  she   was   in   full    pos-

Mr.  Francis  Atwater : 

Dear  Sir:  On  page  190  of  the  first  volume  Atwater  History,  you  re- 
fer to  Enos  Atwater  as  marrying  Elizabeth  Bentley,  of  Kingston,  Ontario. 
Canada.  Enos  Atwater  and  Elizabeth  Bentley,  his  wife,  were  my  grand- 
father and  grandmother.  They  had  three  boys  and  seven  girls,  the 
names  of  which  I  give  you  herewith:  Lucinda,  eldest,  was  born  at  Kings- 
ton, Ontario,  Canada,  1811.  She  married  James  McCarroll,  a  farmer 
near  Kingston.  I  know  nothing  of  her  family.  1  understand  thai  she  did 
not  live  to  be  old.  The  next  child  was  Susan,  born  1812,  married  Solomon 
B.  Williams,  afterwards  moved  near  Ashtabula,  Ohio;  the  third  daugh- 
ter was  Barbara,  born  1814,  married  Henry  Dudley,  of  near  Ashtabula, 
Ohio;  then  there  wras  a  son,  Ulysses,  born  1816.  He  was  raised  near  Ash- 
tabula, Ohio,  and  resided  there  all  his  life.  He  had  four  wives,  one  of 
them  now  surviving  him.  He  was  accidentally  killed  by  an  express  train 
while  crossing  the  track  near  his  home,  about  1900  or  1901.  Myron  was 
born  1818  near  Ashtabula,  Ohio,  moved  to  Michigan  City,  Indiana,  where 
he  married  Delia  Dyer.  He  had  quite  a  family  of  children.  Phoebe 
Emeline,  my  mother,  was  born  June  11,  1820,  married  Norman  Cross  when 
she  wras  but  eighteen  years  of  age,  removed  to  Yalpariso,  Ind.,  where 
their  family  was  raised.  Emily,  born,  1821,  married  Archibald  Harper. 
a  farmer  at  Door  Village,  Layport  Co.,  Indiana;  Harriet,  born  ls22.  mar- 
ried a  Mr.  Beebe,  a  farmer,  near  Valpariso,  Ind.;  Samuel  and  Elizabeth, 
twins,  were  born  in  1823.  Samuel  married  Jane  McKinley,  at  Janes- 
ville,  Wis.  (a  relative  of  Wm.  McKinley,  late  president  of  U.  S.)j  Eliz- 
abeth  married  Benjamin  Schooly,  of  Penn.,  for  her  first  husband.  They 
had  no  children.  After  his  death  she  married  the  second  time,  a  Mr. 
Pierce,  of  Wisconsin.  I  think  there  were  children  by  this  marriage.  In 
the  Dudley  family  there  were  but  three  children — boys.  All  grew  to 
manhood,  were  married,  and  I  think  had  families.  Only  one  now  living, 
Andrew  Dudley.  Smith  Dudley  was  a  sergeant  in  an  Illinois  cavalry  reg- 
iment during  the  rebellion,  but  I  do  not  remember  the  number  of  the 
regiment.     Andrew    Dudley   is   a    merchant    in    one   of   the    large   towns   of

2,  1905.     From  an  editorial  in  a  New  Haven  paper  the  following 

is  copied: 

"What  shadows  we  are,  and  what  shadows  we  pursue!"  Only  a  few 
days  ago  Wilbur  F.  Day  returned  to  New  Haven  from  a  European  trip  in 
good  health  and  good  spirits,  and  took  up  his  weighty  business  burdens 
with  renewed  vigor  and  interest.  Now,  after  a  sudden  and  short  illness, 
he  has  ceased  from  his  labors,  and  will  be  seen  of  men  no  more.  What 
a  mystery  and  what  a  reminder  to  those  of  us  who  still  go  to  and  fro. 

Mr.  Day  was  one  of  New  Haven's  very  best  citizens.  Thoroughly  iden- 
tified with  her  past  and  present,  he  so  lived  and  worked  as  to  do  her 
honor  and  win  honor  from  her.  He  made  the  bank  of  which  he  was  for 
so  long  the  animating  and  controlling  spirit  distinguished  for  soundness 
and  safety.  The  acuteness  and  accuracy  of  his  judgment  in  financial 
matters  were  firmly  established  ami  widely  respected.  TTis  upright- 
ness was  a  tower  of  strength  to  all  whose  affairs  were  in  his  hands.  And 
his  quietly  persistent  attention  to  duty  gave  him  constantly  increasing 
skill  and  efficiency.  But  Mr.  Day  was  not  alone  a  business  man.  He  had 
a  keen  and  comprehending  mind  which  concerned  itself  with  that  which 
is  best  in  literature  and  art,  and  he  paid  careful  attention  to  matters  of 


ATWATER  HISTORY.  119 

public  interest.  He  could  talk  well,  and  had  a  fine  perception  and  use 
of  wit  and  humor.  He  was  a  very  friendly  man,  though  not  in  the  de- 
monstrative way  of  some.  He  was  benevolent  and  quietly  beneficent. 
The  dearest  spot  on  earth  to  him  was  his  home,  and  he  was  a  most  de- 
voted husband  and  father.  His  whole  life  was  one  of  consistent  integ- 
rity, quiet  industry,  and  strict  fidelity  to  duty.  His  pleasant  speech  and 
pleasing  figure  will  be  much  missed  by  all  who  have  been  accustomed 
to  them,  and  there  are  many  hearts  whose  mourning  for  him  will  be 
deep  and  long.

AM  I'.S  ATWATER. 


A  I  WATER   HISTORY.  I35 

838.  James,  son  of  Titus;  m.  July  17,  1851,  Jane  L.,  dau.  of  Cheney 
Taft  and  Lydia  Kennedy,  b.  Dec.  26,  1827.     He  d.  Dec.  19,  1903. 

He  was  born  in  Conesville,  Schoharie  county,  N.  Y.,  and  obtained  his 
earliest  education  in  the  common  schools  of  his  native  village  and  later 
attended  the  Livingston  academy.  He  graduated  from  the  State  Nor- 
mal school  in  Albany  in  1844  and  at  once  took  up  teaching  as  his 
profession. 

He  went  to  Lockport,  N.  Y.,  soon  after  and  was  for  seventeen  years 
employed  as  a  teacher  in  the  old  Lockport  Union  school.  During  a  period 
of  eleven  years,  during  this  time  he  was  also  the  superintendent  of  pub- 
lic schools  in  that  city.  He  was  the  teacher  of  mathematics  in  the  Union 
school  during  his  connection  with  it. 

He  finally  left  teaching  to  engage  in  the  insurance  business  and  for 
many  years,  he  was  prominent  among  the  business  men,  building  up  a 
prosperous  business  in  his  chosen  line.  Mr.  Atwater  was  a  member  of 
the  board  of  education  for  many  years  after  he  became  interested  in 
business  and  was  for  three  years  or  more  the  president  of  the  board. 
He  was  prominent  in  local  politics  and  was  one  of  the  staunch  support- 
ers in  his  community  of  Eepublican  principles.  He  was  honored  with 
an  election  to  the  board  of  supervisors  in  1872,  serving  for  two  years, 
and  again  he  was  re-elected  in  1882  and  served  until  1894.  He  was  elect- 
ed mayor  of  Lockport  in  1894. 

Of  him  I.  M.  Atwood,  a  former  pupil,  writes:  "James  Atwater  was 
by  nature  and  grace — which  with  him  were  not  twain  but  one — a  prince 
among  pedagogues.  He  was  master  of  all  the  subjects  he  attempted  to 
teach,  master  of  himself,  master  of  his  pupils.  He  knew  boys,  he  was 
not  distant  from  them;  every  crook  and  turn  in  the  multifarious  nature 
of  a  boy  had  interest  for  him,  and  he  was  on  to  the  most  plausible  ur- 
chin 's  trick  before  it  was  quite  hatched.  Girls  were  somewhat  a  mys- 
tery to  him,  as  they  are  to  all  of  us;  but  his  apparently  wandering  eye 
read  their  minds  as  well  as  their  faces,  and  if  he  did  not  cut  into  the 
quick  with  his  sly  remarks,  as  he  did  with  us  boys,  it  was  because  he 
was  the  soul   of  chivalry. 

"Since  I  sat  on  those  benches,  which  the  board  of  education  of  that  day 
thought  were  the  last  achievement  of  educational  art,  I  have  known 
many  teachers  in  many  states,  and  have  served  my  own  long  appren- 
ticeship as  a  teacher.  It  is  not,  therefore,  without  ample  means  of  cor- 
recting the  visual  error  of  a  too  near  view,  that  I  have  adhered  to  an 
opinion  formed  long  ago.  That  opinion  is,  that  James  Atwater  should 
never  have  gone  out  of  the  school  room.  He  should  have  been  advanced 
from  degree  to  degree  until  he  held  a  large  life  position  as  a  teacher  and 
educator.  His  intuitive  insight  into  mind  and  character,  his  wide  sym- 
pathies, his  genial  nature,  his  sound   judgment,  his  capacity   for  taking 


I36  ATWATER  HISTORY. 

on  new  views,  and  above  all  his  aptness  to  teach,  marked  him  out  for 
one  profession.  Jt  is,  in  my  view,  a  distinct  loss  to  the  noble  science 
of  education,  when  a  man  so  endowed  and  uniquely  adjusted  to  his 
place  as  an  educator,  is  turned  aside  into  some  other  pursuit.  Almost 
any  other  occupation  is  for  such  ;i  man  an  inferior  calling."

who  lived  with  her,  and  two  grandsons,  Frank  and  Thomas  Elmes,  both 
students  at  Vale  university.  Her  death  was  mourned  by  a  very  large 
Dumber  of  friends  for  during  her  long  residence  in  Derby  she  had  made 
hosts  of  friends  both  among  the  old  and  young,  and  her  kindly  dispo- 
sition and  entertaining  manner  gave  her  a  charm  which  always  made 
her  company  desirable.  She  was  a  member  of  St.  James'  church  and  in

1879. 

He  was  born  at  Cedar  Hill,  then  a  part  of  the  town  of  Hamden,  since 
incorporated  into  the  city  of  New  Haven,  Conn.  His  father.  Major  Ly- 
man Atwater,  was  a  leading  citizen  of  the  town,  and  is  described  as  "  a 
man  of  restless  enterprise  and  of  great  endurance,  who  added  to  the 
management  of  a  large  farm  the  conduct  of  a  great  variety  of  under- 
takings both  at  home  and  in  distant  places. ' '  His  mother  was  the 
daughter  of  Punderson  Hotchkiss,  Esq.,  a  respected  citizen  and  manu- 
facturer of  the  town  of  Hamden. 

Dr.  Atwater  entered  Yale  College  in  1827,  and  was  graduated  in  1831, 
at  the  age  of  eighteen,  with  the  second  honor  in  a  class  of  eighty-one 
members,  including  President  Porter,  the  late  Senator  Polk,  of  Missouri, 
Bishops  Kip  of  California,  and  Clark  of  Rhode  Island,  and  other  emi- 
nent men.  He  spent  the  year  following  his  graduation  as  head  of  the 
classical  department  of  Mount  Hope  Institute,  Baltimore,  and  then  en- 
tered Yale  Theological  Seminary.  At  the  end  of  his  first  year  in  the 
seminary  he  became  tutor  of  mathematics  in  Yale  College,  in  which  of- 
fice he  continued  for  nearly  two  years,  pursuing  his  studies  in  theology 
at  the  same  time.  He  was  licensed  to  preach  by  the  Congregational  As- 
sociation of  New  Haven  West  in  May,  1834,  and  in  the  summer  of  1835 
accepted  a  call  to  the  pastorate  of  the  First  Congregational  church  in 
Fairfield,  Conn.,  where  he  remained  nearly  twenty  years. 

He  began  in  1840  to  contribute  to  the  Princeton  Review,  and  the  men- 
tal power  shown  in  his  articles,  with  the  stand  which  he  took  in  Con- 
necticut in  opposition  to  the  theological  views  of  Dr.  Taylor,  Dr.  Bush- 
nell  and  others,  brought  him  to  the  notice  of  Princeton  College,  which,  in 
1851,  conferred  on  him  the  degree  of  Doctor  of  Divinity. 

In  June,  1854,  he  was  elected  to  the  newly-established  chair  of  Mental 
and  Moral  Philosophy,  in  Princeton  College,  entering  upon  his  duties  in 
October.  In  1861  he  was  appointed  to  the  Lecturership  Extraordinary  in 
the  Theological  Seminary  at  Princeton  on  the  Connection  between  Re- 
vealed Religion  and  Metaphysical  Science  for  the  five  years  for  which 
it    was  established.     In  1863  he  was  unanimously  elected  by  the  General

ATWATER    HISTORY.  I4I 

Assembly  of  the  Presbyterian  church  (Old  School)  Professor  of  Theol- 
ogy in  the  Western  Theological  Seminary,  at  Allegheny,  Pa.,  which  chair 
he  declined.  The  General  Assembly  (O.  S.),  in  1869,  made  him  a  mem- 
ber of  the  joint  committee  which  perfected  the  basis  of  union  upon 
which  the  old  and  new  school  branches  of  the  Presbyterian  church  were 
united.  Prom  the  year  1S76  until  the  time  of  his  death  he  was  vice 
president  of  the  board  of  trustees  of  Princeton  Theological  Seminary. 

He  was  acting  president  of  Princeton  College  between  the  retirement 
of  Dr.  John  Maclean  and  the  inauguration  of  Dr.  James  McCosh  in  1868. 
After  the  year  1869  he  was  professor  and  teacher  of  Logic,  Metaphysics^ 
Ethics,  Economics  and  Political  Science.  He  was  a  voluminous  writer, 
especially  for  the  Reviews.  In  1869,  at  the  request  of  Dr.  Charles  Hodge, 
he  became  the  responsible  editor  of  the  Princeton  Review.  In  1872  the 
Review  was  united  with  the  American  Presbyterian  Review  with  the  title 
of  Presbyterian  Quarterly  and  Princeton  Review,  under  the  joint  edi- 
torship of  Dr.  Atwater  and  the  late  Dr.  Henry  B.  Smith.  Since  1854  his 
contributions  to  it  have  greatly  exceeded  those  of  any  other  man.  Be- 
ginning with  his  well  known  essay  on  the  "Power  of  Contrary  Choice, " 
in  the  October  number  of  1840,  republished  in  the  first  volume  of  the 
Princeton  Essays.  His  contributions  to  this  Review  alone  had,  in  1876, 
exceeded  one  hundred  articles  and  2,500  pages.  They  are  largely  philo- 
sophical, theological,  ecclesiological,  but  they  also  extended  to  economi- 
cal, social,  political,  literary  and  miscellaneous  subjects  evincing  what  a 
writer  in  the  "British  Quarterly  Review"  styles  his  "prodigious  ver- 
satility of  mind."  Many  of  them  were  republished  in  this  country  and 
Europe.  Dr.  Atwater  was  so  occupied  with  these  and  other  kinds  of 
authorship  and  in  periodicals  that  he  found  time  for  little  else  but  the 
duties  of  his  professorship,  his  other  publications  being  only  an  occasional 
discourse  and  a  Manual  of  Elementary  Logic  for  the  Class  Room,  which 
came  into  large  use.  His  articles  on  various  subjects  commanded  wide 
attention  and  exercised  large  influence. 

In  the  year  1871  Yale  University  conferred  on  him  the  degree  of  LLD. 

Dr.  Atwater  died  at  Princeton  February  17,  1SS3.  At  the  funeral 
addresses  were  made  by  Dr.  Noah  Porter,  president  of  Yale  College,  the 
classmate  and  life-long  friend  of  Dr.  Atwater,  Dr.  McCosh,  president  of 
Princeton  University,  and  by  Dr.  A.  A.  Hodge,  of  Princeton  Theological 
Seminary.  Subsequently  the  Rev.  Dr.  William  M.  Taylor,  of  New  York, 
was  requested  by  the  faculty  to  prepare  a  discourse  commemorating  the 
life  and  services  of  Dr.  Atwater  to  be  given  at  the  ensuing  commence- 
ment. This  discourse  with  the  addresses  above  mentioned  were  pub- 
lished in  a  Memorial  Volume  by  the  request  of  the  trustees  of  Prince- 
ton University. 

Rev.  Amzi  Atwater  thus  describes  a  visit  to  Dr.  Atwater  at  Princeton: 
"In   the  year   1880,  as   our    Indiana    University   summer    vacation    came 


14-  ATWATER    HISTORY. 

earlier  than  tliose  of  eastern  colleges,  I  thought  to  improve  the  oppor- 
tunity thus  presented  of  visiting  Princeton,  New  Jersey,  <>n  my  way  to 
Y.i I.-  commencement.  Arriving  in  town,  1  was  disappointed  to  find  that 
the  college  work  had  been  suddenly  closed  for  the  year  some  days  earlier 
than  usual  on  account  of  epidemic  fever. 

"But  I  was  amply  repaid  for  stopping  by  a  most  agreeable  visit  with 
our  kinsman,  Doctor  Lyman  II.  At  water,  vice  presidenl  of  the  univers- 
ity. I  may  have  previously  written  him  of  my  coming,  bul  whether  I 
had  or  not  he  received  me  in  a  most  friendly  manner,  took  me  in  a  car- 
riage over  the  town  and  through  the  most  Interesting  college  buildings, 
and  introduced  me  to  President  McCosh,  who  had  been  called  some  time 
before  that  from  a  high  position  in  Scotland,  to  the  presidency  of  this 
institution. 

'•Though  somewhat  advanced  in  years  and  though  his  hair  was  gray 
and  his  form  stooping,  the  fire  of  his  eyes  was  not  dimmed  and  his  con- 
versation gave  evidence  of  the  bright  and  vigorous  intellect  for  which 
he  was  noted.  The  management  seemed  to  have  made  no  mistake  in 
calling  him  to'  this  place  of  honor.  Princeton  had  just  previously  been 
strengthened  and  the  scope  of  her  work  greatly  enlarged  by  the  gift 
of  nearly  two  million  of  dollars  from  the  estate  of  John  C.  Green.  Dr. 
Atwater  pointed  out  the  new  buildings  just  erected  by  means  of  the 
great  legacy. 

"These,  no  doubt,  aided  Dr.  McCosh  in  making  the  success  which  he 
attained  at  Princeton.  Our  kinsman  also  took  me  to  call  on  the  mathe- 
matician, Professor  Charles  A.  Young,  who  eagerly  inquired  about  the 
astronomer,  Professor  Daniel  Kirkwood,  of  Indiana  University,  and 
sent  a  message  to  him:  'Tell  him  our  new  telescope  is  twenty-three  inches 
aperture,  thirty  feet  focus.' 

"Doctor  Atwater  was  a  man  of  learning,  high  character  and  noble 
presence,  whose  worth  was  universally  acknowledged.  The  ill  health  of 
his  later  years  no  doubt  slackened  his  literary  activity  and  may  have 
prevented  somewhat,  toward  the  end,  the  full  enjoyment  of  life." 

Dr.  McCash,  former  president  of  Princeton  University,  spoke  of  Dr. 
At  water  as  follows: 

"For  nearly  a  third  of  a  century  he  has  been  identified  with  all  that 
is  good  in  this  institution.  lie  lived  and  labored  for  the  good  of  the 
college.  He  has  had  as  much  influence  as  any  one  man.  perhaps  more 
than  any  other,  in  forming  the  character  of  its  numerous  alumni,  seal 
tered  all  over  the  country,  and  fitting  them  for  usefulness  in  various 
walks  of  lite. 

"We  value  him  as  a  teacher,  but  we  also  revered  and  loved  him  as  a 
man.  Every  one  who  knew  him  will  be  prepared  to  testify  that  lie  was 
actuated  throughout  by  high  principle,  moral  and  religious.  This  gave  a 
consistency    to    his    character    which    made    every    one    respect    him.     He 


ATWATER    HISTORY.  143 

labored  to  keep  up  a  high  standard  of  morality  and  piety  among  us. 
But  he  was  far  from  being  a  man  of  mere  head  withoul  heart.  Under- 
neath his  sedate  demeanor  there  was  a  deep  well  of  feeling  ever  ready  to 
burst  out.  He  was  firm  in  rebuking  the  erring,  but  was  ever  melted 
when  he  discovered  signs  of  repentence.  He  was  charged  with  the  be- 
nevolent funds  of  this  institution  and  administered  the  trust  with  great 
faithfulness  and  kindness.  Many  student  will  remember  forever  the 
wise  counsels  which  he  gave  them. 

"His  work  and  mine  have  been  constantly  and  closely  intermingled. 
Of  all  the  instructors  here  I  shall  feel  his  removal  most  keenly.  1  do  not 
know  where  we  can  get  a  man  to  take  up  the  profound  and  varied  sub- 
jects which  he  taught.  It  is  clue  to  the  memory  of  one  who  upheld  phil- 
osophy in  Princeton  College,  not  to  let  it  down  from  the  high  place,  which 
it  has  all  along  occupied  here.  The  fittest  tribute  which  we  can  pay  to 
his  memory  is  to  secure  that  the  work  which  he  carried  on  so  effectively 
will  be  continued  in  the  ages  to  follow." 

Rev.  William  M.  Taylor,  D.  D.7  speaks  of  Dr.  Atwater's  work  as  an 
educator  as  follows: 

"Few  men  have  been  more  successful  than  he  was  in  training  thinkers. 
He  impressed  all  his  pupils  with  his  perfect  mastery  of  the  subjects  with 
which  he  had  to  deal.  They  admired  the  clearness  of  his  expositions;  the 
fairness  with  which  he  stated  the  opinions  of  those  from  whom  he  dif- 
fered; the  absolute  impartiality  with  which  he  criticised  the  views  of 
others;  and  the  candid  spirit  in  which  he  advanced  his  own.  He  would 
not  do  their  thinking  for  his  students;  but  he  furnished  them  with  the 
needful  data,  and  then  encouraged  them  to  form  their  own  opinions  while 
he  stood  by  ready  to  guide  them  in  the  effort.  They  felt,  moreover,  that 
he  understood  not  only  his  subjects,  but  his  students.  He  never  forgot 
that  he  had  once  been  a  young  man  himself,  and  he  could  put  himself 
back  into  the  place  of  an  undergraduate  and  look  at  things  from  his 
point  of  view,  with  greater  ease  ami  accuracy  than  most  men  of  his 
age  and  acquirements." 

Rev.  John  DeWitt,  D.  D.,  professor  in  Princeton  Theological  Seminary, 
thus  writes: 

"Dr.  Atwater's  exceptional  success  as  a  teacher,  now  - is  to  1 

have   1 n    due   very  largely  to   two   things;    first,   the    force   or   weight    of 

his  personal  character  which  compelled  both  respectful  behavior  and  sus- 
tained attention  from  tin1  class;  and  second,  a  power  of  absolute  clear- 
ness in  statement  and  explication.  .  .  .  Besides  those,  his  teaching 
was  marked  by  a  trait  which  I  take  to  be  a  great  merit,  namely,  that 
he   threw   himself   most    heartily   into   great    subjects." 

Professor  W.  B.  Scott,  of  Princeton,  says: 

"In  all  the  branches  which  he  taughl  he  showed  himself  a  master,  al- 
ways   interesting,    instructive,    and    especially    .dear.      His    custom    was    to

give  us  an  analysis  of  the  lecture  written  out  on  the  blackboard,  and  the 
value  of  his  teaching  largely  lay  in  the  perfect  system  to  which  he  re- 
duced  everything,  so  that  those  who  ran  might   read."

He  was  a  direct  descendant  of  John  Bishop,  born  in  England,  came  to 
Guilford,  Conn.,  in  1639,  and  one  of  the  founders  of  the  colony,  died  1661. 
Iehabod  (father  of  Elias),  born  at  East  Haven,  Conn.,  1750,  died  1811. 
Elias,  born  at  East  Haven  1795,  d.  1866,  married  his  'first  wife,  Amanda 
Street,  granddaughter  of  Rev.  Nicholas  Street,  associate  pastor  with  Rev. 
John  Davenport,  founder  of  New  Haven.  His  first  wife  died  about  1835. 
He  married  his  second  wife,  Grace  Clarissa  Atwater,  a  descendant  of  Da- 
vid Atwater,  the  youngest  of  the  emigrants  who  came  from  England  in 
1638  with  Eaton  and  Davenport,  Nov.  26,  1838.  Mrs.  Bishop  was  born  in 
the  house  still  standing  January,  1906,  at  Cedar  Hill,  where  her  father, 
Major  Lyman  Atwater,  was  born  and  on  the  original  land  deeded  to  Da- 
vid Atwater  in  1639.  Major  Lyman  Atwater  was  the  fifth  generation  of 
eldest  sons  who  owned  this  land.  After  her  marriage  to  Mr.  Bishop  she 
lived  at  Hast  Haven  at  Mr.  Bishop's  home  which  originally  belonged  to 
the  Rev.  Nicholas  Street,  and  during  Lafayette's  visit  to  this  country 
lie  spent  a  night  at  this  house.  Their  first  child,  Henry  White,  was  born 
here  about  1840.  A  few  years  later  Major  Lyman  Atwater  sold  to  Elias 
Bishop  the  old  homestead  at   Cedar  Hill  as  Mr.  Atwater's  business  inter- 

\>-re  iii  Bennington,  Vt.,  where  he  removed  and  remained  during 
the  rest  of  his  life.  He  was  buried  there.  Mr.  Bishop  was  a  business 
man  in  every  sense  of  the  word  and  transformed  the  Atwater  home  into  a 

busy  place.  He  was  a  large  buyer  and  seller  of  stock,  mostly  horses 
and  mules,  shipping  large  numbers  of  them  to  the  West  "Indies.  Every 
portion  of  the  large  farm  was  put  into  use  and  presented  a  very  busy 
place  during  his  life.  Five  children  were  Lorn  at  the  Atwater  house — 
Ellen    Amanda,   Frederick    Foot,  Grace   Clara,   David   Atwater  and   Char- 

Merina.     Mr.   Bishop  died  June   18,   L866.     He  was  an  EpiscopaXan 

and     his     wife     attended      that      church     after     her     marriage,     but     at-

of  the  land  is  now  known  in  1906  as  the  beautiful  East  Rock  park.  In

"Mrs.  L.  Aurelia,  widow  of  Seymour  Z.  Miner,  who  died  last  March, 
passed  away  at  the  home  of  her  daughter  in-law,  Mrs.  H.  F.  Miner,  in 
Skaneateles  Monday  at  about  4  p.  m.,  after  an  illness  of  about  three 
weeks  of  typhoid  fever.  Mrs.  Miner  went  to  Skaneateles  about  a  month 
ago  to  visit  her  daughter-in-law.  She  was  in  an  enfeebled  condition,  as 
a  result  of  the  very  severe  afflictions  suffered,  first  in  the  death  of  her 
only  son,  Prof.  H.  F.  Miner,  in  New  York  on  February  18,  followed 
by  the  loss  of  her  only  brother,  J.  C.  Atwater,  on  March  19,  1905. 

"Mrs.  Miner  was  the  daughter  of  Joseph  and  Lucy  (Brown)  Atwater, 
and  was  born  February  2,  1835,  and  most  of  her  life  had  been  spent  in 
Homer,  though  a  few  years  of  her  girlhood  were  spent  in  Scott,  and  a 
few  years  also  in  Skaneateles,  while  her  son  was  principal  of  the  academy 
there.     She   was   married   February   13,    1853,   to    Seymour    Z.    Miner,   of

"Mrs.  Miner  was  a  member  of  the  Congregational  church  and  took 
much  interest  in  church  and  .Sunday  school  and  was  a  successful  teacher 
-of  a  large  Bible  class  in  the  Sunday  school  for  some  years.  She  was  a 
woman  of  much  intelligence  and  many  attractive  traits  of  character  and 
had  many  friends  who  were  much  grieved  and  shocked  by  the  unex- 
pected  news  of  her  death  which  was  doubtless  indirectly  caused  by  the 
severe  afflictions  which  had  so  rapidly  followed  each  other  within  a  brief 
month. "

In  1849  he  resigned  that  pastorate  and,  after  spending  a  year  in  foreign 
travel,  was  installed  in  1852  pastor  of  the  Congregational  church  in  Sal- 
mon Falls  (Eollinsford),  New  Hampshire.  In  November,  1857,  he  re- 
moved to  his  native  city  and  spent  several  years  in  missionary  work, 
gathering  a  congregation  in  the  eastern  part  of  the  city.  In  1863,  a 
church  having  been  organized  in  this  congregation,  he  was  installed  its 
pastor,  and  so  remained  to  the  end  of  his  active  ministry,  in  1870. 

He  has  written  a  volume  on  "The  Sacred  Tabernacle  of  the  Hebrews" 
(pub.  1875),  and  another  entitled  "The  History  of  the  Colony  of  New 
Haven  to  Its  Absorption  into  Connecticut"  (pub.  1880).  He  edited  a 
"History  of  the  City  of  New  Haven,"  published  in  1887  by  W.  W.  Muu- 
sell  &  Co.,  and  contributed  many  valuable  articles.  On  account  of  his 
painstaking  research  and  accurate  knowledge  he  was  considered  an  au- 
thority on  matters  pertaining  to  the  early  history  of  the  Colonies  of 
New  England.  He  published  a  geneology  of  the  Atwater  family  in  1851; 
revised  it  in  1873,  and  was  engaged  in  this  work,  revising  and  correcting, 
up  to  the  time  of  his  death.

dler. He  died  when  about  56  years  of  age,  leaving  a  number  of  slaves 
and  several  hundred  acres  of  land  for  each  of  his  children.  This  fact 
shows  him  to  have  been  a  good  business  man.  His  children  always  spoke 
of  him  as  being  strictly  honest  in  his  dealings  with  others  and  as  a  man 
who  was  quick  to  see  a  good  investment  and  as  one  who  kept  himself  in 
readiness  for  such  whenever  presented.  It  was  the  custom  in  his  day  for 
almost  every  one  whose  circumstances  would  allow  it  to  own  a  distillery. 
He  owned  one  and  taught  each  of  his  sons  to  operate  it.  While  he  drank 
to  excess  sometimes,  and  at  such  times  was  violent  and  rough,  through 
the  influence  of  their  mother,  not  one  of  the  children  drank  to  excess — 
instead,  were  leaders  of  the  temperance  movement  while  they  lived. 
Moses  was  a  born  leader — indeed,  he  commanded  where  he  had  author- 
ity, but  he  was  strictly  just  to  command  obedience,  as  he  was  to  pun- 
ish disobedience.  He  was  devoted  to  the  welfare  of  his  home  and  fam- 
ily and  when  not  maddened  by  drink  was  kind  ami  affectionate.  His 
wife  was  a  model  woman,  sweet  spirited,  kind,  gentle,  Loving  and  lov- 
able. She  suffered  without  murmur  and  was  ever  ready  to  forgive  and 
forget.  Her  influence  still  lives  in  her  descendants  and  will  continue. 
Moses  Atwater  died  in  his  56th  year,  honored  and  respected  for  his  ster- 
ling character  and  forgiven  of  his  faults.     His  will  reads  as  follows: 

"I,  Moses  Atwater,  of  the  county  of  Orange  and  Btate  of  North 
Carolina,  do  make  this  to  be  my  last  will  and  testament  in  manner  ami 
form  following.  I  lend  to  my  wife  Amy  three  negro  boys,  named  Joe, 
.Tack  and  Aaron;  likewise  two  negro  women,  Milly  and  Ann,  and  Ann's 
two  children,  John  and  Stephen;  likewise  the  land  and  plantation  where

The  death  of  his  father  when  he  was  eleven  years  old,  led  him  to  seek 
employment,  and  after  a  year  or  two  of  private  schooling  in  North  Guil- 
ford and  Branford,  he  became  a  clerk  in  Mr.  Murdock  's  dry  goods  store 
in  New  Haven,  Conn.  An  opportunity  was  offered  him  to  become  a  clerk 
for  Baldwin,  Kent  &  Co.,  a  wholesale  dry  goods  house  in  Richmond,  Va., 
and  he  accepted,  going  by  way  of  a  schooner  from  New  York.  In  a  few 
years  he  returned  to  New  York  as  a  resident  partner,  doing  the  buying 
and  other  responsible  duties.  He  was  a  conservative  and  yet  a  progressive 
man  with  large  business  interests,  unostentatious  and  untiring  in  his  pro- 
motion of  great  enterprises,  but  commercial  and  religious.  Removing  to 
Springfield,  Mass.,  he  was  the  originator  of  the  Glasgow  Mills,  at  South 
I  lad  ley  Falls,  for  the  manufacture  of  ginghams;  also  the  Springfield 
street  railroad  which  he  founded  and  supported  during  the  trying  years 
of  its  beginning  and  was  also  closely  identified  with  the  Memorial  church 
of  that  city,  in  fact,  he  and  Dr.  J.  G.  Holland  may  be  said  to  be  its  found- 
ers. His  friendships  were  strong  and  tender  and  he  was  broad  in  his  re 
ligious  views  and  much  given  to  hospitality  and  especially  fond  of  en- 
tertaining clergymen.

five  years  one  of  those  unassuming  but  faithful  Christians  whose  ster- 
ling worth  was  felt  and  acknowledged  by  all.  Men  may  boast  of  mighty 
achievements,  of  great  deeds  done  in  the  name  of  the  Lord  for  suffering 
humanity,  but  the  unostentatious  and  oft  times  unseen  works  of  love 
from  the  hand  of  Christian  mothers  eclipse  them  all,  and  will  follow 
them  to  constitute  bright  gems  in  their  crowns  of  glory."

The  son  of  a  physician  of  repute  he  was  surrounded  from  his  youth  with 
the  influences  of  intellectual  culture.  Mr.  Spalding  was  for  many  years 
connected  with  journalism  in  New  York  city.  During  a  protracted  tour 
in  Europe  he  corresponded  with  various  New  York  papers  and  so  finished 
was  the  style  of  his  letters  and  so  broad  his  views  of  European  politics 
that  the  series  attracted  unusual  attention.  Upon  his  return  to  this 
country  he  became  attached  to  the  editorial  staff  of  the  New  York  Times.

abstain  from  labor.

sought  to  be  conversant  with  the  signs  of  the  times  and  desired  to  use' 
their  tendencies  for  the  general  good.  Her  sympathis  were  enlisted  in 
all  public  questions  through  the  journalistic  career  of  her  husband,  James 
R.  Spalding.  The  traditions  of  journalism  remained  in  Mr.  Spalding 's 
family  after  his  death,  Mrs.  Spalding  ever  showing  a  public  spirited  in- 
terest in  affairs  of  general  moment.  She  was  always  a  friend  of  literary 
culture,  of  the  spread  of  intelligence  and  of  the  elevation  of  the  stand- 
ards of  education.  She  had  read  and  traveled  extensively  both  in  this 
country  and  Europe  and  was  able  to  delight  with  the  charm  of  her  con- 
versational powers  and  social  grace  all  those  who  were  fortunate  enough 
to  have  known  her.

chemistry  at  the  I'liiversity  of  Tennessee,  Knoxville,  hut  was  called  to 
the  Maine  State  College  in  1873.  Later  in  the  same  year  he  was  ap- 
pointed professor  of  chemistry  at  Wesleyan  University,  Middletown, 
Conn.,  which  position  he  still  holds.  He  was  the  first  director  (1875-77) 
of  the  Connecticut  Agricultural  Experiment  Station,  the  first  of  these 
institutions  in  this  counry,  and  is  still  a  member  of  its  board  of  control. 
Since  1888  he  has  been  director  of  the  Storrs  Agricultural  Experiment 
Station.  When  the  Experiment  Station  enterprise  was  made  national  by 
the  establishment  of  stations  throughout  the  United  States  under  an  Act 
of  Congress,  and  the  office  of  Experiment  Stations  was  organized  in 
1888,  as  a  central  bureau  in  connection  with  the  United  States  Depart- 
ment of  Agriculture,  he  was  made  the  first  director  of  the  office,  and  is 
still  associated  with  it.  Since  1894  he  has  been  in  charge  of  nutrition 
investigations  provided  for  by  Congress  in  connection  with  that  depart- 
ment. His  published  Papers  are  very  numerous,  including  over  one  hun- 
dred titles.  Some  treat  of  the  chemical  and  other  scientific  investiga- 
tions carried  out  by  himself  and  under  his  direction,  and  have  been  pub- 
lished in  chemical  journals  and  transactions  of  learned  societies  and 
government  publications  both  in  this  country  and  Europe;  others  of  a 
more   popular  character   have   appeared   in   magazines   and   books.

is  a  clipping  from  a  newspaper:  In  the  death  of  Mrs.  Bostwick 
New  Haven  loses  a  woman  of  sterling  character,  of  delightful  per- 
sonality and  an  edifying  Christian.  For  forty-two  years  this  fam- 
ily had  resided  at  the  old  homestead  on  Olive  street.  Mrs.  Bost- 
wick was  born  in  this  city  in  1824,  and  was  the  second  daughter 
of  George  Bowland  and  Ruth  Caroline  Atwater,  dau.  of  Capt.  El- 
nathan Atwater,  the  latter  a  prominent  shipmaster  of  his  day,  who 
was  extensively  engaged  in  the  West  India  trade.  Mrs.  Bostwick 
had  been  thoroughly  educated  and  was  a  graduate  of  Miss  Corn- 
stock's  well  known  academy,  where  she  especially  excelled  in  math- 
ematics. A  former  member  of  St.  Paul's  church  for  the  past  forty 
years,  Mrs.  Bostwick  had  been  a  devout  and  edifying  member  of 
St.  John 's  church.  In  1851  Miss  Rowland  was  married  to  Fred- 
erick L.  Bostwick,  and  is  survived  by  two  sons,  Frederick  and 
Thomas  A.,  and  widowed  daughter,  Mrs.  Caroline  R.  Jones.  Mrs. 
Maltby,  her  other  daughter,  died  three  years  ago.  Her  brothers, 
Thomas  Fitch  Rowland  of  New  York,  and  Frederick  C.  Rowland, 
and  her  sisters,  Mrs.  Ruth  A.  Tibbals,  Miss  Sarah  M.  Bowland  and 
Miss  Jennie  Rowland,  and  also  five  grandchildren,  will  receive  the 
sympathy  of  all  who  knew  this  venerable  lady.  The  impressive 
funeral  service  at  St.  John's  church  was  followed  by  that  of  Mrs. 
Rowland,  a  sister-in-law  of  Mrs.  Bostwick.  who  died  about  eight- 
een hours  after  the  death  of  Mrs.  Bostwick.

Westfield,  April  14,  1906.— "How  hath  the  mighty  fallen!"  The  hal- 
lowed room  in  the  old  Atwater  tavern,  also  known  as  the  "Washing- 
ton tavern,"  in  which  the  immortal  Father  of  His  Country  twice  passed 
the  night  when  marching  through  Westfield,  is  now  used  by  an  Hungarian 
family  as  a  resting  place  for  everything  and  anything  that  has  passed 
usefulness. 

Built  about  200  years  ago,  this  famous  old  tavern  stands  as  firmly  upon 
its  foundations  to-day  as  it  did  after  it  was  first  built.  It  is  a  large 
building,  directly  at  the  foot  of  the  eight  mile  road  over  the  South-quarter 
Russell  hills  to  Blandford,  and  but  a  stone's  throw  from  the  Westfield- 
Russell  line.  The  road  to  West  Parish  and  the  road  to  Russell  are  near 
it,  and  in  the  olden  days  when  the  stage  coaches  rumbled  regularly  over 
the  hills  the  old  tavern  did  a  good  business. 

For  many  years  this  historic  old  tavern  remained  in  the  possession  of 
the  Atwater  family.  About  thirty  years  ago  the  last  of  the  family,  the 
"Franklin  Atwaters, "  moved  from  it,  and  all  of  the  antique  furnishings 
were  sold  or  removed.  The  mail  box  at  the  door  now  bears  this  "new 
Ameican"  name:  "Mathius  Pitonak."  The  ancient  spinning  wheels  are 
gone,  the  high-backed  chairs  have  found  their  way  into  the  homes  of  lov- 
ers of  the  antique,  and  the  old  chests  and  tableware  have  also  found 
resting  places  in  the  homes  of  wealthy  Westfield  people. 

Washington  slept  in  the  Atwater  tavern  when  he  was  passing  through 
this  part  of  the  country  on  his  way  to  Canada,  to  join  the  army  fighting 
the  French.  Homer  Noble,  one  of  the  best  informed  men  of  the  section, 
says  that  his  grandmother,  Hannah  Noble,  who  died  some  thirty  years 
ago,  used  to  tell  how  she  was  sitting  at  the  window  in  the  second  story, 


I«v-'  ATWATER    HISTORY. 

overlooking  the  road,  when  she  saw  the  army  .dining  up  what  is  now 
known  as  Western  avenue.  8he  was  spinning  at  the  time,  she  used  to 
say,  and  she  recount.',!  vividly  how  she  assisted  the  tavernkeeper  in 
making  comfortable  the  stay  of  Washington  and  his  staff.  Washington 
also  slept  in  the  tavern  on  his  return  from  the  Canadian  expedition. 

The  loom  in  which  the  Father  of  His  Country  slept  has  been  known 
for  years  as  the  "Washington  bedroom."  It  is  a  large  room  on  the  sec- 
ond  floor,  and   the   windows   face   the   northeast.     The   remainder   of   the 

second   II :  was  given  up  to  a  large  dance  hall,  finely   furnished.     Then 

there  is  what  was  known  as  the  "big  west  room."  In  revolutionary 
days   these   rooms   were   the  scenes  of  many  jollifications. 

Sev.  rnl  years  must  have  been  passed  before  this  tavern  was  completed. 
The  lumber  used  in  its  construction,  every  stick  of  it,  was  cut  and  hewed 
from  trees  that  stood  on  the  hillsides  within  a  few  feet  of  the  founda- 
tion. The  cellar  walls  are  made  from  stones  picked  from  the  fields.  The 
beams  are  extra  large  in  size,  made  from  whole  oak  logs,  and  they  are  as 
solid  to-day  as  they  were  when  they   were  put    in    position. 

The  house  was  clapboarded  and  shingled.  The  clapboards  were  split 
from  logs,  one  at  a  time,  and  then  shaved  down  by  hand.  The  work  must 
have  been  very  tiresome  and  difficult.  The  shingles  were  split  from 
blocks  of  pine  wood.  The  big  beams  were  fastened  with  heavy  wooden 
"nails,"  such  as  are  used  to-day  in  shipbuilding.  The  clapboards  were 
held  in  place  by  iron  nails  pounded  out  of  soft  iron  by  hand.  The  heads 
of  some   of   the   nails   are   half   an    inch    in    diameter. 

Some  years  ago  the  wind  blew  the  clapboards  from  the  front  of  the 
house,  and  the  Hungarian  who  now  occupies  it  put  modern  clapboards 
upon  it.  The  roof  has  been  covered  over  with  a  kind  of  tar  and  sand 
paper,  and  the  old  shingles  are  not  visible.  The  sheds  used  in  the  old 
days  by  travelers  are  still  standing,  but  are  in  dilapidated  condition,  and 
are   used   mostly  as  chicken  coops. 

The  tavern  is  not  on  the  beaten  path  of  travel.  Not  many  wagons  go 
over  the  mountain  to  Blandford  now,  although  the  view  along  the  road 
i-  superb.  The  Little  river,  which  before  long  will  furnish  Springfield 
with  its  water  supply,  flow's  between  Glasgow  mountain  and  a  hill  to 
the  northward,  in  a  valley  several  hundred  feet  below  the  roadway.  Hills 
lower  on  all  sides,  and  brooks  tumble  in  a  picturesque  manner  down  the 
rocky    slo]ies    along    the    roadside. 

The  degeneration  of  the  old  Washington  tavern  is  but  another  indi- 
cation of  the  disregard  that  the  public  is  showing  for  relics  of  by-gone 
days.  Before  long  the  fireplaces  where  Washington  warmed  his  feet  will 
have  passed  out  of  existence,  and  the  old  tavern  itself  will  have  no  sem- 
blance  to  the   place   it    was   in    "ye   olden    days."

Horace,  b.  Aug.  30,  1845;  moved  to  Michigan,  1865;  settled  on  land 
near  Saginaw  that  was  almost  a  virgin  forest,  where  he  has  since 
remained;  m.  Martha  E.  Benson  May  30,  1866.  Of  his  life  he 
writes.  I  arrived  on  the  land  that  has  since  been  my  home,  July 
2,  1862.  It  was  a  fine  windfall,  where  the  best  pine  only  had  been 
cut;  sometimes  taking  but  one  or  two  logs  from  a  large  tree,  and 
leaving  the  rest  to  waste  on  the  ground.  We  cut  down  the  pop- 
lar brush,  from  two  to  thirty  feet  high,  and  burned  it,  and  then 
logged  up  the  large  timber  and  burnt  what  we  could  of  that,  leav- 
ing ninety  log  heaps  unburned  on  eighteen  acres,  ploughed,  sowed 
it  to  wheat,  and  the  next  year  got  but  sixty  bushels  of  wheat 
from  it.  My  father  worked  with  me  two  months,  when  he  went 
back  to  Trumansburg,  leaving  me  to  finish  and  follow  him  in  ihe 
the  fall.  My  father  employed  a  man  named  Smith  Denson  to  help 
us  a  few  weeks.  He  is  now  the  pioneer  R.  F.  D.  man  in  Saginaw. 
His  sister,  Martha  Benson,  I  married  in  1866,  and  she  has  been  my 
helpmeet  in  all  these  years  in  bringing  that  farm  from  its  chaos 
of  wilderness  up  to  its  present  condition  of  comfort  and  fertility. 
One  hundred  acres  of  land  are  under  cultivation,  with  eighty  acres 
of  scattered  woodland,  used  as  a  pasture,  fenced  with  about;  three 
miles  of  pine  stump  fence;  with  the  four  thousand  pine  stumps 
that  I,  and  later,  my  sons,  have  extracted  from  its  surface.  There 
is  a  cottage  on  the  northeas  corner  of  the  farm  that  T  have  occu- 
pied with  my  wife  since  1894,  when  I  gave  active  charge  to  my 
two  youngest  sons,  and  tended  garden  and  did  what  jobs  of  sur- 
veying that  came  along.  I  learned  surveying  in  Trumansburg 
Academy,  under  the  tutelage  of  Prof.  E.  M.  Maynard,  in  com- 
pany with  T.  H.  King  and  Seymour  Bates,  both  of  whom  T  visiter?

Here  is  a  little  history  written  by  him  two  years  previous  to  his 
death,  being  then  eighty-three  years  of  age  and  able  to  read  without 
glasses,  a  man  who  was  well  preserved,  his  memory  being  good  as  the 
following  article  will  show,  able  to  walk  one,  two  or  three  miles  a  day, 
straight  and  erect  in  his  walk;  fond  of  society  and  a  good  talker  and  a 
great  reader:  Samuel  T.  Atwater  was  thrown  on  his  own  resource  at 
the  age  of  nine  years,  his  mother  having  died  and  left  four  children 
(boys)  younger  than  he.  The  father  put  all  of  the  children  out,  as  was 
practiced  in  those  days.  I  have  often  heard  my  father  tell  of  the  suf- 
ferings from  cold  and  hunger — children  were  not  cared  for  and  petted 
in  those  days. 

About  the  year  1835  the  writer  came  to  Genoa,  Cayuga  Co.,  N.  Y., 
then  a  quiet  little  hamlet  with  a  few  straggling  houses  and  a  woolen 
mill  owned  by  John  King.  The  mill  was  below  where  is  now  Howe's 
grist  mill  and  the  Bemington  foundry  was  just  below  that.  I  had  worked 
seven  years  to  learn  the  trade  of  carding,  condensing  and  dyeing  flan- 
nels, and  was  the  first  to  introduce  the  scarlet  dyeing  in  that  vicinity. 
I  remained  there  two  years  and  did  some  fine  work  for  the  people  in 
the  surrounding  country.  This  summer — 1896 — a  gentleman  while  in 
Sempronious,  saw  a  piece  of  very  heavy  flannel,  scarlet  in  color,  as 
bright  and  beautiful  as  when  finished.  It  was  serving  as  a  chair  cushion 
in  the  home  of  Mr.  Slade.  It  was  dyed  at  the  old  woolen  mill.  Genoa, 
ami  by  myself  some  sixty  years  ago.  It  had  been  use,]  in  those  days  us 
a    long  cloak,  now   would  be  called   an   opera    cloak. 

A  few  years  previous  to  my  coming  to  Genoa,  Abraham  Stevens,  now. 
living  in  Auburn,  worked  in  the  Bemington  foundry  and  made  a  Teazle 
machine  for  Dapping  cloth  which  I  used.  Mr.  Stevens  came  to  Genoa 
with  a  saw,  hammer  and  jack  plane,  built  a  foundry,  got  up  several 
patents,  which  brought  him  a  nice  little  sum  of  money,  was  very  suc- 
d   in  business,  running  the  foundry,  until   he  moved   to   Auburn

best   mechanics  of  Cayuga  county. 

The  Bayham  murder  was  a  very  exciting  tragedy  of  those  years  and 
was  written  up  for  all  papers.  The  Veness  murder  was  another  shock- 
ing affair  that  was  exhibited  through  the  -  canvas  by  Harvey 
Piersons,   George    Martin    and    Phineas    Young    of    Genoa. 

In  the  'lays  of  "Auld  Lang  Syne,"  singing  schools,  skimmeltons,  husk- 
ing bees  and  apple  paring  parties  were  the  only  pleasures  and  recreations 
we  had.  In  the  little  schoolhouse  on  Grove  street,  two  miles  from  Eas! 
Genoa,  1  taught  the  first  singing  school.  That  was  about  the  year  1st". 
bul  few  of  my  scholars  arc  dow  living  who  came  to  that  little  old  school 
But  the  building  was  usually  crowded  ami  the  very  walls  rang 
with  the  songs  of  Coronation.  Uxbridge  and  From  Greenland's  Icy  Moun-

would  lie  handed  down  for  many  generations.

devoted  his  whole  thought  and  energies  and  life  to  the  good  of  his 
pie.      The    Presbyerian    church    at    Genoa    was    not    in    the   village,   but    one 
mile  east,   where   the  cemetery    is   now  1    have    listened    I 

-    by  Lyman  T.  Beecher,  father  of  Henry  Ward.  Thomas  K.  Beecher 
and   Harriet    Beecher  Stowe. 

A  very  interesting  occasion  for  those  days  was  a  debate  between 
Holmes  and  Austin,  held  in  the  Universalis!  church  of  Genoa.  1! 
was  a  Methodist  and  a  presiding  elder;  Austin  a  I'niversalist.  The 
hoard  were  Elder  White  of  Lansingville,  Garry  Chambers  of  McLean, 
Stephen  Woodin  of  Genoa.  This  debate  lasted  eight  days;  each  Bidfl 
spoke  four  times  daily,  the  subject  being  * ' Universalism  vs.  Metho- 
dism." At  the  (dose  there  was  no  decision.  A  book  was  published  of 
the  debate  aiol  no  doubt  many  copies  are  now  in  existence.  The  old 
church  was  packed,  the  writer  being  present  all  through. 

Las!  week  we  heard  a  person  remark  that  Roswell  Beardsley  (now 
tla'  oldes!  post  master  living)  was  the  only  one  living  who  gave  funds 
for  the  building  of  the  old  I'niversalist  church.  Mr.  Beardsley  says  he 
cannot    remember   the   year    it    was    built    but    gave    $50. 

I   will  close  lest    I   weary  your  patience,  and  am  getting  tired  myself.

brated  Nov.   24,  1904. 


ATWATKR    HISTORY.  211 

"Fifty  years  ago  to-day  Charles  Law  was  united  in  marriage  to  Ellen 
Atwater,  who  was  a  daughter  of  Charles  Atwater,  a  merchant  at  Prov- 
idence, now  Scranton.  Mr.  Law  was  at  that  time  in  business  in  this 
city.  He  brought  his  bride  here,  and  this  has  ever  since  been  their 
home.  The  married  life  of  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Law  has  been  a  most  happy 
one,  and  it  was  with  much  propriety  that  they  invited  their  friends  to 
join  with  them  yesterday  in  a  celebration  of  their  golden  wedding.  The 
celebration  was  held  at  the  family  home,  on  Luzerne  avenue,  and  was  a 
most  happy  event.  The  various  rooms  of  the  residence  were  exquisitely 
decorated  with  growing  plants  and  cut  flowers.  Florist  Harris  fairly 
outdid  himself  in  the  floral  display  which  received  praise  from  all  who 
witnessed  it.  Besides  great  banks  of  palms  and  other  greenery,  there 
was  a  profusion  of  cut  flowers — erysanthemums,  roses  and  orchids — the 
whole  forming  a  most  beautiful  picture.  During  the  afternoon  and 
evening  some  200  friends  called  to  extend  their  compliments  to  Mr. 
and  Mrs.  Law,  who  were  assisted  in  receiving  by  their  sons  and  daugh- 
ters as  follows:  A.  F.  Law,  of  Scranton,  treasurer  of  the  Temple  Iron 
Co.;  John  H.  Law,  of  Scranton,  with  the  Title  Guarantee  &  Trust  Co.; 
Charles  P.  Law,  of  West  Pittston,  manager  of  the  Pittsburg  branch  of 
the  Atlantic  Kenning  Co.;  Robert  M.  Law,  of  Philadelphia,  treasurer  of 
the  Pennsylvania  Coal  &  Coke  Co.;  Mrs.  Thomas  H.  Watkins,  of  Scran- 
ton; Mrs.  George  W.  Cross,  of  Carbondale;  Mrs.  Herman  A.  Warner, 
of  Deeorah,  Iowa.  Two  of  the  children,  James  C.  Law,  treasurer  Chi- 
cago Tunnel  Co.,  and  Miss  Anna  Law,  of  Las  Vegas,  N.  M.,  were  unable 
to  be  present,  but  the  parents  were  much  gratified  to  receive  congratu- 
lations from  them,  the  former  giving  his  message  over  the  'phone  and 
the  latter  sending  a  telegram.  Among  those  present  were  the  following 
three  persons  who  were  present  at  the  marriage  of  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Law 
fifty  years  ago:  Mrs.  Solon  Woodward,  of  Carbondale;  Mrs.  Floyd,  of 
Nanticoke,  and  Mrs.  Mary  Hicks,  of  Green  Ridge.  Many  other  friends, 
including  those  of  olden  times  were  present,  and  the  host  and  hostess 
were  especially  pleased  at  the  presence  of  their  old-time  friends,  Alex 
Craig  and  C.  I.  A.  Chapman.  As  tokens  of  their  esteem,  the  guests  sent 
many  beautiful  gifts  that  will  long  be  cherished  by  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Law. 
Among  them  were  sums  of  money  in  gold,  choice  pieces  of  cut  glass  and 
china-ware,  some  exquisite  needlework  and  costly  silver  pieces.  These 
tokens  of  regard,  displayed  in  one  of  the  rooms,  were  the  object  of  much 
admiration."

ATWATER    HISTORY.  221 

"In  writing  an  obituary  of  this  remarkable  man  I  find  myself  em- 
barrassed by  a  fear  thai  I  may  seem  extravagant  to  strangers.  Those  not 
acquainted  with  such  a  character  may  find  it  hard  to  believe  that  mor- 
tal man  in  these  latter  days  can  reach  such  a  state  of  Christian  per- 
fection as  distinguished  this  eminent  servant  of  God.  On  the  other 
hand  I  may  find  it  equally  difficult  to  employ  such  words  as  will  faith- 
fully portray  his  matchless  worth  in  the  estimation  of  those  who  knew 
him  well.  Loyalty  to  Christ  and  truth  demands  for  him  an  illustrious 
place  on  the  roll  of  saints  and  happy  shall  I  be  if  I  shall  trace  in  living 
lines  the  virtues  that  in  him  shone.  Of  his  parentage  I  need  not  speak 
except  to  say  that  his  mother  was  a  godly  woman,  which  may  in  some 
measure  account  for  his  sound  conversion  and  excellent  piety.  When  a 
youth,  he  was  deeply  interested  upon  the  subject  of  religion,  and  hun- 
gered and  thirsted  after  righteousness.  After  much  trouble  and  sor- 
row, and  praying  and  seeking,  he  was  powerfully  and  happily  converted 
in  earl}'  manhood,  and  forthwith  sought  fellow  with  the  people  of  God 
in  the  M.  E.  church  South,  in  which  he  lived  and  died,  such  a  burning 
and  shining  light  as  this  world  has  rarely  seen.  For  several  years  his 
experience  was  not  more  marked  probably  than  that  of  his  brethren 
about  him.  He  was  sometimes  in  great  ecstasy  and  then  again  in  heav- 
iness through  temptations  and  fears.  With  this  sort  of  experience  he 
heard  a  lucid  sermon  on  perfect  love  which  he  at  once  began  to  seek  and 
found.  From  that  glad  hour  to  the  day  of  his  death,  his  peace  flowed 
as  a  river,  and  his  righteousness  abounded  as  the  waves  of  the  sea. 
Doubts  and  fears  and  clouds  were  gone  never  to  return.  He  read  his 
titles  clear,  and  walked  with  God  the  rest  of  his  days.  His  life  was  a 
daily  illustration  of  the  power  of  the  gospel  to  save  to  the  uttermost. 
Having  known  him  well  for  more  than  twenty  years,  I  have  no  hesi- 
tancy in  saying  that  I  do  not  believe  that  a  better  man  ever  lived  in  this 
evil  world.  I  do  not  believe  it  possible  for  a  man  to  be  better  on  the 
earth  than  he  was  and  this  is  the  verdict,  so  far  as  I  know,  of  every- 
body that  ever  knew  him.  No  wonder  he  was  a  powerful  preacher.  Holy 
in  heart  and  life,  and  full  of  faith  and  the  Holy  Ghost,  his  ministry  was 
a  benediction  every  where,  and  he  added  much  people  to  the  Lord.  All 
classes  of  people  heard  him  gladly  and  profitably  and  the  savor  of  his 
name  is  as  ointment  poured  forth  in  all  the  region  blessed  by  his  life 
and  ministry.  He  honored  and  adored  every  relation  he  sustained  and 
every  station  he  occupied.  If  ever  there  was  a  spotless  character  in  this 
world,  it  was  Wilson  Atwater.  Taking  him,  all  in  all,  I  never  expect  to 
see  his  like  again.  Having  walked  with  God  for  more  than  three  score 
years  he  went  down  to  death  without  fear.  He  was  not  sick  like  other 
people.  Through  age  and  feebleness,  he  was  confined  to  home  and  house 
and  till  the  weary  wheels   of  life   stood   still   and   his  triumphant    spirit

Respess.  He  lives  at  Thomaston,  Ga.  The  writer  called  upon  him  while 
on  a  trip  south  in  March,  1906,  ami  was  hospitably  received.  The  old 
gentleman  told  of  his  life  before  and  during  the  Civil  War,  and  how,  as 
captain  of  a  Georgia  Confederate  Company,  during  an  engage  a  enl  one 
day,  found  three  boys  of  about  sixteen  years  and  himself  the  whole  line 
of  battle,  the  remainder  of  his  company  being  dead  or  injured  while 
the  regiment  had  retreated  without  notice.  Of  these  four,  two  were 
killed  while  tryiing  to  escape  crossing  a  field  and  Mr-  Atwater  and  his 
boy  companion  only  escaped  by  dropping  in  their  tracks  as  if  dead.  Dur- 
ing the  last  of  the  war  it  was  necessary  to  recruit  these  boys  in  order 
to  fill  up  the  quota  needed.  The  raid  of  General  Wilson's  army  through 
Georgia  swTept  away  all  of  Mr.  Atwater 's  farm  stock,  so  that  when  lie 
returned  to  his  home  it  was  a  scene  of  desolation  and  despair.  The  men 
slaves  had  left  for  parts  unknown  but  the  negro  women  and  children  re- 
mained. The  women  offered  to  produce  cotton  and  vegetables  if  given 
mules  and  plows  to  work  with.  Mr.  Atwater  started  out  to  see  what 
he  could  do,  and  finding  he  was  privileged  to  take  any  loose  stock  he 
could  find,  he  stayed  around  the  Federal  camp  until  he  had  seemed  a 
drove  of  mules,  even  having  more  than  before  the  raiders  drove  his  own 
off.  Under  discouraging  circumstances  his  great  energy  predominated, 
and  the  writer  found  him  at  the  age  of  nearly  eighty  situated  in  a  large, 
beautiful  country  home,  surrounded  with  luxury  and  comfort,  and  a  de- 
voted family,  completing  the  fireside  picture  of  domestic  happiness  and 
contentment.

over  half  a  century.  The  writer  called  upon  him  in  March.  1906,  and 
found  him  in  bed,  a  victim  of  the  old  fashioned  shouting  and  ranting 
preaching,  which   has  about    passed   away.      It    was  only   natural   he  should

ask  whal  church  I  attended,  1  nit  when  informed  1  did  not  attend  any, 
that  the  Golden  Rule  was  my  guide,  though  I  confessed  I  did  nol  always 
live  up  to  it,  he  said  he  was  sorry,  and  ind I  his  face  was  truly  pa- 
thetic. He  had  lived  a  narrow,  earnest  life,  spent  in  a  small  sphere, 
which  was  as  painful  for  me  to  comprehend  as  my  liberal  ideas  were 
for  1 1 i in  to  tolerate.  He  had  worn  out  in  shouting  his  religion  which 
must  have  brought  more  fear  than  comfort.  That  was  the  kind  I  found 
in  my  childhood,  and  I  had  hoped  that  it  had  long  since  died  out.  To 
live  a  Christian  life  it  is  not  necessary  to  lie  so  severe  and  earnest  as  to 
shut  out.  all  pleasure  or  intrude  its  harshness  upon  those  who  believe  it 
is  unnecessary-  Mr.  Atwater,  no  doubt,  is  a  truly  good  man,  but  there 
are  those  of  us  going  through  life  who  do  good,  live  correctly,  but  do 
not  do  it  from  having  a  creed  bred  of  fear  with  damnation  always  in 
sight.  How  much  hotter  it  is  to  lie  cheerful  and  hearty,  than  to  carry 
sanctimony  to  the  verge  of  distress.

Mr.  Atwater  belonged  to  one  of  the  oldest  and  most   highly  respected 

families    of    New     Haven,    to    ;i     family     long    to    lie    remembered    both    for 

intellectual  power  and  poise  ami  for  spiritual  greatness  manifested  in 
countless  deeds  of  kindness  ami  loving  service.  As  the  great-grandson 
of  Elihu  Sanford,  he  enjoyed  all  the  sweet   and   inspiring  influence  of  a 


2(5(3  ATWATER    HISTORY, 

cultured  and  Christian  home.  When  a  boy,  be  was  greatyl  interested  in 
;ill  t imt  pertained  i.»  the  early  history  of  New  England,  and  especially 
to  the  military  achievements  of  the  revolutionary  heroes.  His  enthu- 
siasm in  this  direction  increased  with  liis  increasing  years.  Improving 
every  opportunity  for  gaining  knowledge  of  the  colonial  affairs,  both  by 
personal  research  at  the  library  of  Sale  university  and  of  the  Eistorical 
society   of  which   he  was  a    life   member. 

To  explore  an  old  house,  dating  back  to  the  Old  Colony  times,  aroused 
his  delight,  and  he  was  constantly  alert  to  acquire  information  of  a  local 
character,  which  had  been  preserved  either  by  family  tradition  or  in  old 
and  unpublished  documents. 

Spending  all  his  life  in  New  Haven  he  naturally  began  his  observa- 
tions in  this  vicinity,  so  rich  in  memories  and  reminders  of  the  past. 
Among  the  first  of  the  numerous  articles  which  he  published  in  the 
Courier  was  that  entitled  "A  House  With  a  History."  This  describes 
the   old    Morris    house    in    East     Haven.    Shortly    after    there    appealed    from 

his  pen  an  interesting  sketch  of  the  Saltonstall  family,  and  a  detailed 
description  of  Governor  Saltonstall 's  house.  This  was  written  from 
notes  which  he  made  when  at  the  house  and  shows  with  what  searching 
and   careful  attention    he   conducted   his   inquiries. 

An  idea  of  his  wide  interest  in  historical  matters  may  be  obtained  not 
only  by  a  perusal  of  his  published  articles,  but  also  from  the  fact  that  he 
had  personally  studied  the  relicts,  famous  localities  and  documents  at 
Salem,  Plymouth  and  Boston,  ami  also  at  Philadelphia.  Pilgrim  hall  at 
Plymouth,  the  old  State  House  at  Boston,  Independence  Hall  in  Phila- 
delphia, all  were  familiar  to  him.  and  were  themes  on  which  he  could 
converse  in  a  most  charming  way.  As  time  passed  on  his  horizon 
broadened,  and  he  extended  his  researches  into  English  and  breach  his- 
tory.  In  the  latter,  beginning  with  that  portion  which  related  to  the 
Revolutionary  war,  he  continued  his  study  to  contemporary  affairs.  In 
this  connection  he  first  published  an  article  called  "The  French  Army's 
Services"  and  also  one  on  "New  Baven's  Famous  Guests." 

While  a  passion  for  history  caused  him  to  make  this  study  his  chief 
employment,  he  did  not  comfine  his  attention  to  it  excusively.     He  was  a 

member  id'  the  Young  Men's  Institute  and  the  Young  Men's  Christian 
Association  as  well  as  a  life  member  of  the  Historical  Society,  and  id' 
the  Connecticut  Society  of  the  Sons  of  the  American  devolution-  He 
had  an  intelligent  appreciation  of  nature  and  art.  He  loved  to  behold 
ami  describe  a  Charming  bit  of  scenery  and  was  as  enthusiastic  over  it  as 
over  a  picturesque  old  church  or  a  colonial  mansion.  This  power  is  seen 
both  in  his  account  of  Nova  Scotia's  Queen  City  and  in  the  article  en- 
title,] "A  New  Havener  in  Canada-"  By  a  few  words,  he  suggests  to 
the  mind  a  picture  of  the  Palls  -of  Montmorency,  the  Capes  of  Trinity 
and    Eternity,    the    Quiachonan    Palls,    ami    the    A  usable    chasm.      During 


ATWATER    HISTORY 


26l 


the  recent  war  with  Spain  he  followed  with  especial  attention  the  op- 
erations of  the  navy  and  when  al  Ealifax  he  observed  closely  the  docks 
and  fortifications  of  thai  eity  and  relates  many  details  concerning  their 
capacity  and  structure  and  also  the  fact  that  the  United  States  battle- 
ship   [ndiana   was   repaired  there. 

Mi-.  At waii  1  devoted  much  of  Ids  time  during  the  last  year  of  his  life 
to  the  study  of  the  French  Language.  He  was  rapidly  acquiring  an 
ability  to  read  and  speak  it,  and  he  intended  to  visit  Paris,  there  to  con- 
tinue his  researches  in   French  history. 

The  public  lectures  delivered  at  Vale  were  attended  with  great  pleas- 
ure by  him.  Those  of  .Professor  Wheeler  ou  "Napoleon  and  Waterloo" 
and  those  of  Professor  Burns  were  often  mentioned  with  great  praise 
and  admiration.  At  the  time  of  his  death  Mr.  Atwater  had  just  fin- 
ished an  article  on  "The  Connecticut  Society  of  Sons  of  the  American 
Revolution." 

Mr.  Atwater  was  not  only  characterized  by  his  remarkable  energy  in 
historical  study,  but  he  showed  in  his  life  those  qualities  which  make  a 
true  man  and  a  faithful  friend.  Love  of  truth,  devotion  to  duty,  a 
courage  undaunted  by  obstacles  which  render  many  despondent,  and  a 
firm  trust  in  God.  all  were  his.  By  his  cheerfulness  and  hope,  by  his 
labor  and  his  patience,  his  earthly  life  will  continually  be  an  inspiration 
to  those  who  have  loved  him  long  since  and  lost  awhile,  again  to  be- 
hold him  where  there  is  no  more  pain,  neither  sighing,  but  joy  and 
peace  that  passeth  understanding. — New  Haven  Journal  and  Courier.

"Your  undertaking  has  my  hearty  co-operation,  I  assure  you;  more- 
over,  it  occurs  to  me  that  when  a  Connecticut  Yankee  and  the  son  of  a 
Confederate  soldier  Ret  to  "claiming  kin"  there  is  great  danger  of  our 
coming  to  the  conclusion  that  after  all  a  Yankee  and  a  Rebel  are  pretty 
much  one  and  the  same  thing.  Any  way  I  am  ready  here  and  now  to

U  >'>  VI  WATER    II  [STORY 


DOUBT  AS  TO  ANCESTRY 


The  author  is  in  some  doubl  as  to  whether  he  is  correct  in  giving  "No. 
284,  Abigail,"  as  the  wife  of  Jedediah  Hull.  In  compiling  the  first  vol- 
ume he  was  informed  that  "No.  284"  had  married  June  '■'>.  177s.  Thomas 
Walker.  It  was  so  printed,  and  was  again  printed  the  same  on  Page  49 
of    this    I k. 

A  careful  study  of  the  records  of  Wallingford  and  Cheshire  make  it 
now  seem  that  this  Abigail  married  Jedediah  Hull,  who  died  in  the  fall 
of  1784,  when  his  will  was  probated,  leaving  an  "drily  child''  named  Lois 
Elizabeth,  a  Lois  being  sister  of  the  mother  and  a  family  name.  Then. 
too,  Samuel  Hull,  father  of  Jedediah,  deeded  several  acres  of  land  and 
a  dwelling  house  to  his  son,  the  land  being  Located  on  Honey  Po1  brook, 
I  he  only  consideration  being  "love  and  affection."  This  was  in  the 
spring  of  1780.  Abigail's  home  was  in  the  vicinity  of  Honey  Hot  brook. 
The  Atwaters  and  Hulls  had  lived  there  neighbors  for  years,  and  what 
should  be  more  natural  than  that  Jedediah  and  Abigail  should  have 
commenced  housekeeping  near  the  paternal  roofs  of  both  families.  The 
only  record  of  Thomas  Walker  is  that  he  married  an  Abigail  At  water 
June  :'>.  177s,  which  is  found  in  the  book  of  marriages  now  in  the  hands 
of  E.  If.  Brown  of  Cheshire.  Then,  loo.  as  we  have  not  the  date  of 
Abigail's  age  in  the  family  pedigree  we  may  readily  assume  she  was 
Abraham's  daughter  from  the  fact  that  her  brother,  Samuel,  was  born 
in  17o7  and  she.  according  to  the  tombstone  record,  was  born  in  1758, 
a  year  later,  the  last  of  the  family,  and  in  no  wise  interfering  with  the

268  ATWATER  HISTORY. 


NEW  HAVEN'S  GREATEST  CANE  CUTTER 


[New  Haven   (Conn.)   Register,  Nov.   14,  1906.] 

In  the  passing  of  old  ''Dave"  Atwater  New  Haven  loses  a  quaint  and 
odd  character  who,  by  his  eccentric  foibles  made  himself  well  known 
aboul  town. 

Old  Dave  hadn't  been  a  year  in  the  poor  house  when  he  died.  He 
wciii  there  last  March  in  the  seventy-second  year  of  his  age  and  he  failed 
rapidly  as  the  weeks  went  on.  Dave  loved  his  freedom.  Ife  loved  the 
open  air  and  the  privilege  of  roaming  aboul  as  he  pleased. 

And  Dave  loved  his  canes,  too.  Of  course  he  couldn'1  have  them 
with  him  in  the  poor  house  and  it  was  indeed  a  blow  to  him  when  he 
was  deprived  of  those  canes.  47,000  of  them.  Dave  said  he  had.  Per- 
haps he  did  and  perhaps  he  didn't,  but  he  had  so  many  that  it  was 
a  big  undertaking  to  count  them.  They  were  Dave's  pets.  Carving 
canes  was  his  life-time  hobby.  He  stored  them  away  in  his  attic,  his 
•'  museum  "  he  called  it,  one  by  one  as  fast  as  he  cut  them  and  let  them 
lii'  there.  Dave  would  never  sell  a  cane.  He  would  have  made  money 
if  he  did.  He  just  carved  them  because  it  was  his  hobby,  that's  all. 
He  carried  a  different  one  each  day  and  occasionally  gave  one  away  to 
a  friend,  but  he  never  sold  one. 

Some  of  them  were  unique,  too.  Dave  used  to  go  out  on  a  roam  about 
t lie  Woodbridge  hills  several  times  a  week  with  a  little  old  hatchet 
stuck  in  his  belt  to  cut  cane  material. 

Hickory  saplings  he  liked  best,  and  he  would  cut  them  up  by  the  roots 
until  he  had  gathered  all  he  could  carry.  Then  he  would  trudge  home 
with  them.  The  roots  of  the  boughs  served  as  the  head  of  the  cane.  Dave 
would  carve  root  and  all  with  strange  designs  and  then  pile  it  away 
with  the  others  in  his  "museum."  If  he  ever  had  a  visitor  he  always 
insisted  upon  showing  him  the  canes  in  the  "museum." 

Whenever  Dave  moved  from  one  house  to  another  he  had  his  troubles 
moving  his  "47,000"  canes.  He  wouldn't  leave  the  house  until  he  saw 
every  cane  aboard  and  off  for  the  new  home.  A  few  years  ago  when  the 
old  man  moved  from  Greenwich  avenue  to  Nash  street,  the  truckmen 
found  an  attic  room  just  heaped  to  the  ceiling  with  canes.  Every  one 
of  them  had  to  be  moved,  said  Dave,  and  so  they  were,  in  two  truck 
loads. 

Then  last  March  when  Fate  sent  Dave  to  the  poor  house,  he  put  up  a 
hard   fight  against  being  taken  away   from   his  canes  and  his  museum. 


ATWATER    HISTORY.  269 

Since  his  confinemenl  the  eanes  have  been  scattered  about  and  destroyed. 
Atwater  was  eccentric  in  many  other  ways.  He  had  quite  a  history. 
His  old  home  was  in  the  Atwater  homestead  which  for  years  was  a  land- 
mark standing  on  the  site  of  the  Hutchinson,  corner  of  College  and 
Crown  streets.  When  Dave's  folks  died  some  years  ago  he  was  left  the 
old  home  and  quite  an  estate. 

On  account  of  his  eccentricities  he  was  declared  an  unlit  person  to  have 
care  of  the  property  and  a   conservator  was  appointed.       He   was   well 

taken  rare  of  while  the  estate  money  lasted.  When  the  old  homestead 
was   sold    a    place    was    bought    for    him    somewhere    else.       When    the    .'state 

began  to  dwindle  he  was  move,!  to  Greenwich  avenue.  Then  he  was 
moved  to  Nash  street  where  he  lived  with  his  wife,  his  canes  and  two 
pet  dogs  until  all  the  proceeds  of  the  estate  had  been  used  up  and  he 
was  left    destitute   last   winter. 

When  it  was  thought  best  to  send  him  to  the  almshouse  last  March 
Dave  put  up  a  great  kick.     He  was  ejected  from  his  house.     When  the 

trucking  men  came  to  put  him  out  he  bolted  the  doors  and  "'sicked'' 
his  dogs  on  them.  Then  a  sheriff  was  sent  out,  but  Dave  threatened 
to  do  him  tip  and  it  was  Qecessary  to  send  the  police  up.  Dave  and  his 
wife  with  all  their  belongings  were  put  out  in  the  street  in  tin-  rain- 
storm. Dave  was  then  taken  in  charge  by  the  city  and  sent  to  Spring- 
side.       His   wife  went   to  some    friends. 

Dave  was  once  on  the  police  force  as  a  supernumerary.  Some  say  lie 
used  to  use  one  of  his  canes  as  a  club.  He  was  in  the  army  for  a  short 
time.  too.  He  was  sent  to  an  insane  asylum  years  ago,  but  didn't  stay 
long.  Dave  used  to  say  that  he  had  been  a  guard  in  a  prison  and  lie 
often  showed  a  cane  which  he  claimed  was  given  him  by  a  prisoner — 
an  odd  shaped  black  stick  engraved  with  curious  figures  and   inscriptions. 

Captain  Brewer  of  the  Grand  avenue  station,  who  has  known  Dave 
for  the  past  forty  years,  says  that  another  hobby  of  the  old  man  was  to 
collect  relics  and  curiosities.  "A  piece  of  bark  from  an  old  (dm.  a  piece 
of  wood  from  an  old  house,  an  old  coin,  an  old  piece  of  china  or  anything 
that  happened  to  strike  him  as  interesting  would  be  put  away  in  his 
'museum.'  "   says   the   captain.

CRITICISMS  OF  FIRST  VOLUME 


[Hartford  Times.] 
Atwater   History   and   Genealogy.     Compiled    by    Francis    Atwater,  Jour- 
nal  Publishing  Company,  Meriden. 

This  record  is  based  on  tli«'  genealogical  tables  prepared  by  the  Rev. 
E.  E.  Atwater  and  the  English  record  prepared  with  much  '-arc  and  la- 
bor by  Robert  II.  Atwater,  the  record  made  up  by  the  latter  forming 
Pari  I.  in  the  book.  The  second  and  larger  pari  is  that  for  which  Mr. 
Francis  Atwater  is  directly  responsible,  although  he  acknowledges  im- 
portant contributions  from  many  sources.  One  of  his  eliief  objects  has 
been  to  obtain  records  of  family  history  and  persona]  traits  in  addition 
to  the  mere  record  of  births  and  deaths  and  relationships,  and  in  doing 
this  he  has  shown  assiduity  and  a  disposition  to  preserve  whatever  seems 
interesting  even  if  it  docs  not  always  make  for  the  dignity  of  the  family 
name.  Many  of  the  stories  are  amusing  and  some  have  value  aside  from 
any    merely    family    interest. 

It  is  evident  that  a  wide  field  of  inquiry  has  been  covered  ami  that 
much  labor  lias  Ik  en  expended  on  the  work,  ami  it  is  partly  because  of 
this,  and  a  si^n  of  the  search  for  accuracy  and  certainty,  that  the  com- 
piler speaks  so  freely  and  earnestly  of  what  remains  to  be  done.  At 
the  very  beginning  of  his  preface  he  says:  "It  (the  history)  is  before 
yon.  It  would  be  a  pleasure  to  state  that  it  is  complete,  but  it  is  not, 
and  the  publisher  is  too  painfully  aware  of  its  imperfections  and  short- 
comings.'' And  in  tlie  book  is  a  loose  printed  slip  in  which  the  pub- 
lisher asks  the  help  of  all  readers  towards  filling  gaps  or  correcting  anv 
statement.  This  says  thai  notice  of  "wrong  dates,  misspelled  names. 
improper  classification,  and  any  information  to  make  the  work  more  cor- 
rect"  is  desired,  also  additional   historical   or  genealogical   data. 

This    is    the    true    spirit     for    such    an    undertaking,    and    it    affords    the 

strongest  presumptive  evidence  of  the  care  tha  thas  been  employed.  The 

book    makes   a    neat    volume    of   about    500   pages,   and    is    a    valuable    con- 
tribution  to  the  family   records  of  the  count rv. 


[Hartford  Courant.] 

We    have    received    from    Francis    Atwater,    president    of    The    Journal 
Publishing   company,   of   Meriden,   a    copy   of   the   "Atwater    History   and 


\I\Y.\TKK    HISTORY.  2J  I 

Genealogy."  This  elaboratte  and  interesting  I k,  compiled  by  Fran- 
cis At  water,  as  the  aiodesl  statement  of  the  title  page  runs,  consists  of 
nearly  500  pages.  It  is  a  family  history,  but  aol  of  the  purely  statis- 
tical kind.  It  goes  just  as  far  as  possible  into  the  lives  and  perform- 
ances of  the  men  and  w a  concerned,  and  thus  reinvests  them  with  a 

bit  of  their  original  life.  Family  history,  written  in  this  large  and  vivid 
fashion,   has  more  or   less  of  a   value  for  every   reader. 

The  Atwateis  have  a  history  that  is  worth  preserving.  The  earliest 
mention  of  the  name  occurs  in  the  parish  of  st •.  .(unity  of  Kent,  Eng- 
land. The  date  is  L257.  That  was  just  after  Magna  I  harta  had  been 
obtained  from  King  John,  and  a  while  before  the  publiction  of  Wyck- 
lilV's  Bible.  The  discovery  of  America  was  at  that  date  nearly  250  years 
in  the  future.  The  Atwateis  first  appeared  in  this  country  in  1637. 
Joshua,  David  and  Anne  Atwater  arrived  here  in  that  year,  and  were 
among  the  founders  of  the  New  Haven  colony.  They  were  from  Len- 
ham,  in  Kent  county.  Kentishmen  have  always  maintained  a  reputa- 
tion  for  g I  sense  and  courage.      They  are   known   in   history  and   poetry 

as  men  of  excellent  stuff.  Mr.  Atwater  says  of  the  county  itself:  "It 
is  claimed  that  of  all  the  counties  of  England  it  was  first  inhabited, 
first  civilized,  first  Christianized,  and  never  conquered."  Among  this 
sensible,  sturdy,  and  self-reliant  people  the  Atwateis  of  those  early  days 
were  persons  of  consideration.  They  were  equally  so  after  their  mi- 
gration to  this  country.  All  along  in  their  history  they  have  been  of 
the  Magna  (harta  Bible  stock.  Cool-headed,  intelligent,  enterprising, 
with  a  tolerably  good  degree  of  confidence  in  their  own  opinions,  they 
were  bound  to  emerge,  in  the  case  of  individual  representatives,  from 
the  general  level.  We  know  that  this  is  a  rather  personal  manner  of 
dealing  with  the  matter  but  a  family  history;  made  up  on  the  biographi- 
cal lines  of  the  ''Atwater  History"  invites  to  this  form  of  consideration. 

Those  old  traits  have  been  reproduced  again  and  again,  clown  to  our 
own  day.  This  volume  is  dedicated  to  the  memory  of  a  youthful  Atwa- 
ter. who  was  drowned  August  2.'!,  1900,  at  the  age  of  twenty  years  and 
three  months.  He  was  the  son  of  the  author  of  this  volume:  and  his 
father  says  of  him  that  he  was  "  not  only  an  Atwater  in  name,  but  by 
character,  habit,  build,  and  in  general  make-up."  Tall.,  well  propor- 
tioned, with  high  cheek  bones,  kindly  eyes,  and  the  tenderness  of  a 
manly  nature,  "he  never  lied,  nor  was  he  given  to  deceit  of  any  kind." 
Family  pride  of  this  fine  quality,  valuing  what   a  man   is  just  as  much 

as    what    a    man    does,    is    a    very    good    thing   to    possess   and    to    perpetuate. 

Francis  Atwater  must  have  given  many,  many  hours  of  hard  work  to 
the  preparation  of  this  volume.  But  this  labor  has  not  been  per- 
formed wholly  for  himself  and  his  own  generation.  This  interesting 
record  will  also  serve  as  a  code  of  conduct  and  a  standard  of  perform- 
ance   for    this    American    family    for    many    years    to    come.

[nteresl    in  genealogical  research  is  very  apt  to  grow  into  a  hobby  if 

the    person    Interested    has   ti to  follow   it    up.     Even  the  person  who 

lias  not  time  for  exhaustive  research  often  enjoys  picking  up  some  book 
detailing  the  history  of  a  family  comparatively  unknown  to  him,  trac- 
ing the  various  branches  and  here  and  there  lighting  unexpectedly  on 
some  familiar  name  of  whose  connection  with  his  particular  familly  he 
was  previously  unaware.  And  if  the  volume  contains  the  records 
some  family  with  whom  the  reader  is  more  or  less  familiar  it  is  doubly 
enjoyable 

The  "At  water  History  and  Genealogy"  compiled  by  Francis  At  wa- 
ter of  Tlie  Meviden  .journal  and  the  Waterbury  Republican  is  a  well 
printed  and  bound  volume  of  nearly  500  pages  containing  a  vast  amount 
of  useful  and  interesting  information  The  title  page  bears  in  its  proper 
heraldic  colors  the  "Anns  and  <'rest  confirmed  to  Robert  Atwater  of 
Royton  Manor  in  Lenham  by  William  Harvey  Olarenceux  Herald  at 
Arms  in  1564"  The  additional  information  is  given  that  the  same  arms 
wire  worn  by  John  Water,  York  Herald,  Times  of  Edward  IV — Henry 
VII.  who  "assisted  at  the  solemnity  of  Edward's  funeral,"  1483.  Also 
by  Thomas  Waters,  Carlisle  Herald,  Edward  IV — Henry  VIII.  They 
are  described  as  "sable  on  a  fesse  wavy  argent,  between  three  swans 
on  the  second,  two  bars,  wavy  azure,  crest  a  demi-talbot  argent,  in  the 
mouth   and   arrow   guls." 

The  origin  of  the  Atwater  family  in  the  United  States  is  traced  with 
certainty  to  and  in  the  county  of  Kent,  England;  the  surname  appear- 
ing very  early  in  English  records.  Loth  in  various  forms  of  the  Eng- 
lish language,  and  in  the  Latin  as  ad  Aquam  and  de  Aqua.  It  appears 
in  but  twelve  of  the  forty  counties  of  England,  the  most  northern  of 
these  counties  being  scarcely  more  than  100  miles  from  the  south  coast. 
In  some  of  these  it  appears  as  early  as  1325.  The  earliest  mention  of 
the  name  known  is  in  the  county  of  Kent,  parish  of  Stone,  "where  the 
name  Godefried  ate  Water  occurs  in  connection  with  th  manor  of  Eyl- 
varton  before  the  year  1257."  All  the  ancestors  of  the  American  At- 
waters,  however,  seem  to  have  belonged  in  the  parish  of  Lenham,  in 
Eoytin,  about  ten  miles  from  Ospringe.  John  Atwater,  of  Royton,  was 
the  father  of  Joshua,  David  and  Anne  Atwater,  who  came  to  America 
dune  26.  1637,  in  the  company  of  "Messrs.  Eaton,  Davenport  and  others, 
founders  of  the  New  Haven  colony.  Joshua  Atwater  was  one  of  the 
seven  men  who,  accompanying  "Mr.  Eaton  from  Boston  to  New  Haven, 
remained  in  a  hut  on  what  is  now  the  corner  of  Church  and  Meadow 
streets.  New  Haven,  during  the  winter  of  1637-S  to  make  observations. 
It  is  believed  that  the  descendants  of  Joshua  Atwater  in  the  male  line 
are  extinct,  as  none   who  ibear  the  name  in   America   can   be  found  who

do  not  trace  their  lineage  to  his  brother,  David.  Joshua  died  May 
16,  1676. 

It  is  supposed  that  David  Atwater,  who  remained  in  Boston  while  his 
brother  went  to  Quinnipiac  with  Mr.  Eaton's  company,  did  not  go  to 
New  Haven  till  the  spring  of  1638.  Besides  the  town  lot  assigned  to 
him,  as  to  the  rest  of  the  original  settlers,  the  plantation  assigned  to 
David  Atwater  in  the  original  division  of  lands  among  the  planters  was 
in  the  Neck,  between  Mill  and  Quinnipiac  rivers,  at  the  north  of  the 
present  city  of  New  Haven,  the  general  name  of  Cedar  Hill  applying  to 
this  region.  The  eldest  male  representative  in  each  succeeding  genera- 
tion was  born  there,  and  for  a  time,  at  least,  resided  there, 
and  there  are  still  descendants  of  the  original  David  residing  at  Cedar 
Hill. 

A  great  deal  more  of  interest  and  value  regarding  the  history  of  the 
Atwater  family  both  in  England  and  in  America,  is  given  in  the  first 
pages  of  the  volume,  with  pictures,  genealogical  charts,  etc.,  showing  an 
infinite  amount  of  patient  study  and  research  on  the  part  of  the  com- 
pilers. There  are  family  letters,  lists  of  propeties,  copies  of  wills  and 
others  documents,  all  of  which  throw  much  light  on  the  family  history. 

After  the  first  ninety-four  pages,  the  rest  of  the  book  is  mainly  taken 
up  with  genealogical  records,  which  even  a  casual  glance  shows  to  have 
been  compiled  with  rare  skill  and  patience,  so  full  and  complete  are 
they  in  all  details,  and  so  many  bits  of  interesting  biographical  and 
historical  matter  are  sandwiched  in  among  them.  Among  the  pictures 
is  one  of  the  old  brick  house  on  State  street,  in  the  Cedar  Hill  district 
of  New  Haven,  which,  according  to  tradition,  was  built  by  the  second 
David  Atwater,  and  is  still  in  possession  of  one  of  his  descendants.  He 
died  January  10,  1736.  A  silver  baptismal  bowl  which  has  a  curious 
interesting  history,  the  gift  of  Jeremiah  Atwater  to  the  "First  (Center) 
church  of  New  Haven,"  is  still  in  the  possession  of  that  church.  There 
are  plenty  of  interesting  people,  prominent  in  Connecticut  history,  all 
the  way  down  the  line,  including  the  poetical  Judge  Amzi  Atwater,  of 
Ohio;  the  founder  of  the  wholesale  commission  firm  of  Atwater,  Mulford 
&  Co.,  of  New  York  city;  and  many  others  whom  lack  of  space  and  time 
forbid  us  to  mention  in  detail. 

The  dedication  of  the  volume  to  the  son  of  the  compiler,  Dorence 
Keith  Atwater,  is  peculiarly  touching.     It  reads: 

This   volume   is   affectionately   dedicated   to   the   memory   of 
DORENCE   KEITH   ATWATER, 
son  of  the  compiler  and  publisher,  who  was  drowned   August  23,   1900, 
aged  20  years  and  3  months.     It  is  fitting  and  appropriate  that  he  should 
be  the  recipient  of  this  dedication,  as  he  was  not  only  an  Atwater  in 
name,  but  by  character,  habit,  build  and  in  general  make-up.     He  was

tall,  well-proportioned,  had  the  high  cheek  bones  of  the  Atwaters,  kindly 
eyes,  was  of  tender  and  affectionate  disposition,  was  manly,  upright  and 
honest;  of  high  principles,  and  was  a  conscientious  student.  He  had  no 
low  traits.  He  never  lied,  nor  was  he  given  to  deceit  of  any  kind.  He 
was  cut  off  at  the  beginning  of  manhood,  when  all  that  he  had  done 
was  in  the  nature  of  a  preparation  of  what  he  expected  to  do.  His  efforts 
were  all  tending  toward  a  successful  career,  and  none  doubted  that  vic- 
tory would  crown  his  work.  He  is  gone,  his  parents'  hearts  are  grieved 
and  broken,  and  the  only  consolation  afforded  them  is  the  memory  of  the 
eminent  qualities  which  he 


SUPPLIES  A  LONG  FELT  WANT. 

New   Boston,   Bercer   Co.,   Illinois. 
August   30th,   1901. 
Francis  Atwater: 

Dear  Sir; — Last  winter  I  wrote  you  that  I  was  very  ignorant  of  the 
history  of  my  ancestors.  I  never  knew  any  persons  by  the  name  of 
Atwater  except  my  father  and  his  family,  my  Uncle  John  and  his  two 
boys,  my  Uncle  Thomas's  son  who  died  in  his  youthful  days,  one  son  of 
my  cousin  Henry  and  my  own  family.  I  had  heard  of  people  by  that 
name  and  could  have  made  their  acquaintance  but  I  had  no  means  of 
proving  my  relationship. 

Your  book  supplies  a  long  felt  want.  I  am  now  prepared  to  claim  re- 
lationship with  any  of  them!  I  now  have  authority  to  prove  my  claim. 

I  wrote  you  last  winter  that  my  grandfather  died  while  my  father  was 
very  young.  My  father  never  remembered  seeing  him.  After  my 
grandfather's  death,  my  father  went  to  live  with  his  grandfather 
Forgason. 

He  seldom  heard  his  father  mentioned.     He  had  some  traditions. 

One  of  these  was  that  he  was  a  son  of  John  who  was  a  son  of  John 
and  this  condition  extended  back  for  generations.  There  was  always  a 
John  in  the  family. 

T  find  this  is  true  in  your  book.     The  numbers  are  750,  293,  82,  20,  6. 

My  father  had  a  notion,  he  thought  it  was  a  tradition,  but  it  could  only 
have  been  a  dream,  that  his  father  had  no  relatives  in  America;  that  his 
father  was  a  native  of  Wales. 

You  can  imagine  my  surprise  in  learning  that  I  am  a  descendant  of 
a  long  line  of  the  blue  bellied  Connecticut  Yankees  instead  of  being  a 
Welshman.  Later  I  will  send  you  some  corrections.  I  hope  you  will 
conclude  to  publish  a  new  edition  of  your  book.  In  case  you  do,  before 
I  am  too  old  to  attend  to  it,  I  will  try  to  send  you  some  farther  history 
Fraternally  yours, 

No.  4,893.  S.  B.  Atwater. 


ATWATER    HISTORY.  275 

WORK   OF   GREAT   MERIT. 

The  new  Atwater  family  history  is  a  work  of  great  merit.  In  com- 
piling mid  publishing  it  the  editor  has  done  our  family  a  great  favor. 

It  differs  from  many  of  the  works  of  similar  name  in  that  it  does  not 
attempt  to  reduce  all  information  to  set  form  as  the  census-taker  would. 
It  has  no  stereotyped  se\  of  questions,  the  answers  to  which  are  put 
down  in  a  table.  This  is  a  great  advantage.  The  management  has  not 
assumed  to  dictate  to  each  family  as  to  what  shall  go  into  its  history. 
The  fullest  liberty,  the  widest  scope  has  been  granted  to  each  con- 
tributor to  write  up  his  own  history  and  that  of  his  ancestors  in  his  own 
way.  Hence  the  charm  of  individuality  runs  through  the  whole  volume 
and  you  can  read  it  from  beginning  to  end  with  deep  interest.  Almost 
the  only  regret  is  that,  in  the  case  of  some  of  the  kindred,  notably  two 
or  three  prominent  and  honored  members  of  the  family  now  deceased, 
the  living  representatives  have  made  so  brief  and  inadequate  a  report. 
But  where  many  were  contributing  to  the  work,  some  little  weakness  of 
this  sort  was  inevitable.  The  book  speaks  for  itself.  It  is  a  great  boon 
to  our  family — a  monument  to  the  enterprise  and  public  spirit  of  the 
editor.
