And  of  course,  throughout  this  500  years  there  were  "wars  and  rumors 
of  wars";  crises  and  tidings  of  impending  doom,  contrived  by  numerous 
power-mad  Little  Men.  reigning  or  ruling  with  or  without  the  consent  of 
their  fellowmen,  as  King,  Lord  Protector.  Prime  Minister,  Chancellor,  Reichs- 
fuehrer.  Dictator,  Generalissimo.  President  and   Indispensable  Man. 

All  soon  to  be  forgotten  in  the  shining  light  of  those  everlasting  per- 
sonalities, such  as  Moses,  the  great  law  giver;  Jesus  Christ,  the  humble 
Christian;  Washington,  the  modest  saviour  of  the  New  World,  and  Mahatma 
Gandhi,  who  proved  that  freedom  can  be  won  without  war. 

While  the  power-mad  Little  Men  have  all  gone — we  hope — to  their  just 
deserts,  they  have  left  behind  a  new  secret  army  of  our  most  insidious 
enemies — the  tax  collectors. 

The  biblical  extortioner  of  the  "poore  wyddowe's  myte"  was  magnani- 
mous compared  to  the  suave,  artful  Machiavellian  of  this  age,  who  bores  like 
a  termite,  many  times,  into  every  segiment  of  industrial  and  social  life. 

0  for  a  "David"  to  slay  this  arch-enemy  before  he  and  his  tribe  suckle 
the  life-breath  of  our  Industrial  Freedom.

only  about  one-quarter  of  the  English  Boroughs.  Villages  and  Hundreds. 

In  hi-  General  History  of  Connecticut.  William  H.  Cutter  sa\s:  "The 
surname  Attwater  belongs  to  a  large  class  of  English  famib  names  where 
the  personal  name  of  a  man  (|ualified  for  identification  b\  a  description  of

without  success."  (This  could  have  been  land  attached  to  a  manor  house  for 
his  forebears'  personal  use.  It  was  during  the  reign  of  the  House  of 
Plantagenet.  I 

"The  same  person,  however,  on  trial  at  Guildford  against  a  writ  of 
quo  warranto,  established  the  right  for  himself  and  his  men  of  Clandon  to 
buy  and  sell  in  Guilford  market  without  paying  tolls. 

"At  the  same  time  John  Atte  water  was  summoned  to  answer  the  charge 
of  having  seized  and  imprisoned  Robert  Le  Ken  at  Clandon  Regis:  in  answer 
to  which  he  pleaded  the  complainant  was  his  villain,  and  the  question  was 
decided  in  his  favor." 

It  is  also  stated  that  on  the  Rolls  of  Parliament,  during  A.D.  1290,  in 
Vol.  I.  Fol.  62.  can  be  found  the  following: 

'Robert  Attwater,  with  his  wife  Isabella,  brings  an  Assize  of  Novel 
Dissiezin,  .  .  .  touching  tenements  in  Rotherhethe."  The  above  mentioned 
property  was  located  on  the  south  bank  of  the  Thames,  two  and  one-quarter 
miles  south-east  from  St.  Paul's  Church.  London. 

Another  interesting  notation  associated  with  our  family  name  and  also 
establishing  the  family  relationship  with  "Ickford,"  is  found  in  a  folio  pub- 
lished in  the  16th  Century  and  called  Nomina  Villariim.  This  volume  con- 
tained the  names  of  Cities,  Boroughs,  Villages,  and  Hundreds,  including 
therewith  the  lords  of  all  the  manors  throughout  all  the  counties  of  England 
from  the  year  1316  to  1559.  including: 

"Johannes  Atte  Water  certified  pursuant  to  writ  tested  at  Clipston. 
5  March,  1316.  as  one  of  the  Lords  of  the  Township  of  Ickford.  in  the  county 
of  Bucks." 

We  also  find  in  the  History  of  Buckinghamshire.  Vol.  I.  the  following 
interesting  Attwater  references: 

"Ickford,  Hickford.  Iksford  (in  Saxon,  Teemzaford.  from  a  watery  way 
or  passage  through  the  Thames. ) 

"Robert  Earl,  of  Morton,  half-brother  of  William.  The  Conqueror  (1066- 
1087  A.D.I  granted  this  manor,  with  Marsh,  to  the  Abbey  of  Grestein. 
founded  by  Harlewin  de  Conteville.  his  father,  and  Ickford  was  by  the  Abbot 
and  Convent  granted  to  a  family  deriving  its  name  from  this  place.  .  .  .  How 
long  Grestein  Abbey  continued  to  enjoy  the  estate  in  Ickford  is  unknown, 
but  having  been  seized  by  the  Crown  during  the  Wars  of  Edward  II. 
(deposed  by  Parliament  January  7,  1327)  and  again  restored,  it  was  a  second 
time  forfeited  and  family  of  Ickford  is  no  longer  mentioned,  unless  their

42.  page  22.  Christopher  had  four  sons  and  a  daughter,  Joanna,  who  married 
Stephen  Cooke.  Their  children  brought  in  the  Atwood  and  Best  families.  But 
we  are  only  concerned  with  John  Attwater,  who  married  Susan  Narsin. 

Of  this  union,  there  were  three  children — Joshua,  Ann  and  David,  who 
were  to  be  the  first  Attwaters  to  land  in  and  assist  in  a  very  important  part 
of  colonizing  a  portion  of  the  New  World.  Father  John  neglected  to  leave  a 
will — dying  in  October  1636.  Susan,  mother  of  Joshua,  had  him  appointed 
to  administer  the  estate. 

Three  months  later,  Susan  died  during  January  of  1637.  She  was  buried 
next  to  John  in  the  Lenhani  Church  yard. 

Burrialls 
"Nov.  1   (1636)   John  Attewatter.  pater  familias. 
"Jan.  9   (1637)    Susan  Attewatter.  Wid." 

The  register  also  shows  Marriages  and  Christenings.  Under  the  latter 
heading  during  the  period  from  'Michaelmas,  1610,  unto  Michaelmas,  1611' 
there  is  the  following  entry: 

"June  2.    Josuae,  the  sonne  of  John  Attwater. 
"George  Hudson,  Vicar 
"Thomas  Heriman 

Churchwardens." 
"William  At-Water 

The  administration  papers  indicate  that  Josuae,  at  the  age  of  twenty-six 
was  a  'Mercer'  in  Ashford.  a  market  town  near  Lenham. 

Now,  these,  our  direct  ancestors,  Joshua,  David  and  Ann  Attwater, 
embarked  on  'The  Great  Adventure.'  Beginning  with  that  unpredictable,  long 
and  treacherous  ocean  voyage,  of  many  weeks,  to  eventually  found  a  different 
habit  in  the  'New  World.'  which  would  be  temporarily  referred  to  as  the 
'Republic  of  Newhauen.' 

There  is  much  speculation  but  no  authentic  data  as  to  why  and  how 
our  Attwater  ancestors  joined  up  with  the  Davenport-Eaton  Expedition. 

While  their  parents  had  passed  away  during  the  year,  Joshua  and  David 
must  have  been  part  of  this  cabal  for  a  considerable  time.  Apparently  Joshua 
was  a  man  of  capital  in  his  own  right,  while  David  had  recently  inherited 
several  properties  from  an  Attwater  relative.  So  it  was  natural  for  John 
Davenport  to  seek  out  these  young  men  of  capital  to  help  finance  his 
expedition.  He  had  recently  returned  from  the  Continent — it  is  said — disguised 
with  a  long  beard.  Be  that  as  it  may,  he  was  a  non-conformist  at  odds  with 
the  authorities,  in  which  our  Attwaters  must  have  joined.  Ashford  was  the 
seat  of  this  group  of  non-conformists.  So  it  is  reasonable  to  suppose  that 
Joshua  induced  his  brother  and  many  from  the  market  town  to  join  the 
expedition.  It  is  reported  that  the  Expedition  included  over  two  hundred 
men,  women  and  children.  When  we  realize  that  man  flys  over  that  same

In  the  spring.  April  1638,  the  entire  original  London  group  with 
additions  under  the  leadership  of  Peter  Prudden — a  non-conforming  minister 
of  the  Church  of  England — arrived  at  Quinnipiac  from  Boston. 

On  their  first  Sabbath.  John  Davenport  conducted  the  religious  service 
in  the  morning.  Peter  Prudden  preached  in  the  afternoon.  This  dual  leader- 
ship could  not  last  long.  Prudden  and  Davenport  could  only  agree  to  disagree. 
The  former's  followers  soon  purchased  the  territory  now  known  as  Milford

class  far  worse  in  its  dogmatic  control — if  not  in  its  purpose — than  the  non- 
conformists had  complained  of  at  home. 

The  first  act  of  the  'Seven'  was  to  decide  that  the  'right  of  suffrage 
shall  be  conferred  on  church  members  only.'  On  the  22nd  of  August  1639, 
the  'Seven'  had  'instituted  the  Church  by  a  solemn  and  formal  covenant  one 
with  another.'  On  the  25th  of  October,  they  granted  the  right  of  suffrage  to 
'all  those  that  have  been  received  into  the  fellowship  of  this  Church,  since 
the  gathering  of  it,  or  who  being  members  of  approved  churches,  offer 
themselves.' 

In  this  manner,  the  'Republic  of  Newhauen'  was  organized,  with  the 
election  of  Theophilus  Eaton,  Magistrate  for  the  term  of  one  year.  Robert 
Newman.  Matthew  Gilbert,  Nathaniel  Turner  and  Thomas  Fugill  were 
closen  Deputies  'to  assist  the  Magistrate  in  all  Courts  called  by  him  for  the 
occasions  of  the  plantation,  for  the  term  of  one  year.'  Thomas  Fugill  was 
appointed  Secretary  and  Robert  Seeley  as  Marshal  for  the  Colony. 

After  the  'Townsite'  had  been  laid  out  by  John  Brockett,  house  lots 
had  been  given  to  each  of  'The  Planters,'  according  to  his  or  her  family 
size  and  the  amount  of  taxes  each  one  was  willing  to  pay.  In  General 
Assembly  during  January  of  1640,  it  was  ordered  that  the  land  outside  the 
'two-mile-square.'  be  divided  and  taxed  as  follows:  '.  .  .  all  the  upland  in 
the  first  division,  with  all  the  meadows  in  the  plantation,  yielding  to  the 
public  treasury  four  pence  an  acre  yearly,  and  all  the  land  in  the  second 
division  two  pence  an  acre  yearly.' 

On  the  first  day  of  September  1640.  by  order  of  the  'Court.'  the  name 
of  the  settlement  was  changed  from  Quinnipiac  to  New  Haven.  It  must  be 
remembered  that  this  'Church  State'  had  been  organized  by  a  superior, 
Puritan  culture  group,  with  a  background  of  literary  London.  It  was  the 
hey-day  of  Shakespeare,  Spencer,  Thomas  Dekker  and  Ben  Johnson.  A  few 
of  the  'Separatists'  had  fled  to  Holland.  The  great  majority  stood  their  ground 
and  the  'New  World'  gave  many  their  chance  for  freedom.

MESSUTUNCK.  alias  NEPAUPUCK. 

26:28: 
A  Generall  Court  29:  of  Octob:  1639: 

This  Indian,  at  a  hearing  before  'Mr.  Eaton,'  had  been  accused  of 
murderously  shedding  the  blood  of  some  of  the  English.  'And  by  his  order 
safely  kept  in  the  stocks  till  he  might  be  brought  to  a  due  tryall.  'And  the 
Indian  who  had  attempted  his  escape  was  whipped  by  the  marshall  his 
deputy.' 

'The  Quillipieck  Indian  Sagamour"  on  the  following  day.  'wth  diurs 
of  his  Indians  wth  him  were  examined  before  the  magistrate  and  the 
deputyes  for  this  plantatio  concerning  Nepaupuck.  They  generally  accused 
him  to  haue  murdered  one  or  more  of  the  English,  and  that  he  had  cutt  of 
some  of  their  hands  &  had  presented  them  to  Sassacuse  the  Pequott  sachem, 
boasting  thatt  he  had  killed  them  wth  his  owne  hands. 

Mewhebato  a  Quillipieck  Indian,  kinsman  to  the  aforesaid  Nepaupuck, 
comeing  att  the  same  time  to  interceed  for  him  was  examined:  .  .  .  att  first 
he  pretended  ignorance,  butt  wth  a  distracted  countenance,  and  in  a  trembling 
manner:  being  admonished  to  speake  the  truth  he  did  acknowledge  him 
guilty  according  to  the  charge  the  other  Indians  had  before  made. 

'AH  the  other  Indians  withdrawing,  Nepaupuck  was  brought  in  and 
examined,  he  confessed  that  Nepaupuck  was  guilty,  .  .  .  but  denyed  thatt  he 
was  Nepaupuck.  Mewhebato  .  .  .  charged  him  to  his  face  after  some  signes 
of  sorrow,  thatt  he  had  assisted  the  Pequotts  in  murdering  the  English,  this 
somewhatt  abated  his  speritt  and  boldenesse;  butt  Wattoone  the  sonne  of 
Carrahoode  a  councellor  to  the  Quillipieck  Indian  sagamour  comeing  in, 
charged  him  more  perticularly  thatt  he  had  killed  Abraham  Finch  an  English 
man  att  Weathersfield  and  thatt  he  himselfe.  the  said  Wattoone.  stood  vpon 
the  island  att  Weathersfield  and  beheld  him  the  said  Nepaupauk  now  present 
acting  the  murder.' 

'Nepaupuck  being  by  the  concurrence  of  testimony  convinced,  he  con- 
fessed he  was  the  man  namelt  Nepaupuck.  and  boasted  he  was  a  great 
captaine,  had  murdered  Abraham  Finch,  and  had  his  hands  in  other  English 
blood,  he  said  he  knew  he  must  dye,  and  was  nott  afraid  of  itt.  butt  layd 
his  neck  to  the  matletree  of  the  chimmey,  desireing  thatt  his  head  might  be 
cutt  of.  or  thatt  he  might  dye  in  any  other  manner  the  English  should 
appoynt,  onely  he  said  fire  was  God,  and  God  was  angry  wth,  therefore  he 
would  not  fall  into  his  hands.  After  this  he  was  retourned  to  the  stocks  and 
as  before  a  watch  appoynted  for  his  safe  custody.' 

At  'Generall  Courte'  on  the  third  day.  .  .  .  Finally.  Nepaupuck. 
'confedded  thatt  he  had  his  hand  in  the  murder  of  Abraham  Finch,  butt 
yett  he  said  there  was  a  Mohauke  of  thatt  name  thatt  had  killed  more  then 
bee.  Wattoone  affirmed  to  his  face  thatt  he,  the  said  Nepaupuck.  did  nott 
onely  kill  Abraham  Finch,  butt  was  one  of  them  thatt  killed  the  3  men  in 
the  boate  or  shallop  on  Connectecutt  riuer  and  thatt  there  was  but  one 
Nepaupuck  and  this  was  he,  and  that  same  thatt  tooke  a  childe  of  Mr. 
Swaines  att  Wethersfield.  Then  the  said  Nepaupuck  being  asked  if  he  would 
not  confess  yt  he  deserved  to  dye.  he  answered,  it  is  weregin. 

The  Court  haue  had  such  pregnant  proofe.  proceeded  to  pass  sentence 
vpon  him  according  to  the  nature  of  the  fact  and  the  rule  in  thatt  case,  he 
thatt  sheds  mans  blood,  by  man  shall  his  blood  be  shed,  accordingly  his 
head  was  cutt  off  the  next  day  and  pittched  vpon  a  pole  in  the  markett  place.'

the  full  growth  as  the  other  piggs  for  ought  could  be  discerned  butt  brought 
forth  dead.  Itt  had  no  haire  on  the  whole  body,  the  skin  was  very  tender, 
and  of  a  reddish  white  coUour  like  a  childs;  the  head  most  straing.  itt  had 
but  one  eye  in  the  middle  of  the  face,  and  that  large  and  open,  like  some 
blemished  eye  of  a  man ;  over  the  eye,  in  the  bottome  of  the  foreheade  wch 
was  like  a  childes,  a  thing  of  flesh  grew  forth  and  hung  downe.  itt  was 
hollow  and  like  a  mans  instrumt  of  genration.  A  nose,  mouth  and  chinne 
deformed,  butt  not  much  vnlike  a  childs,  the  neck  and  eares  had  allso  such 
resemblance.  This  monster  being  after  opened  and  compared  wth  a  pig  of

(therein  guided  by  the  neare  resemblance  of  the  eye,)  that  one  George

The  record  covers  ten  pages.  After  hearings  covering  a  period  of  three 
days,  in  the  Meeting  House  and  prison,  with  numerous  members  taking  part

14  ATWATER  GENEALOGY 

In  the  1649-1662  New  Haven  Town  Records,  published  by  New  Haven 
Colony  Historical  Society,  there  are  many  references  to  Joshua  and  David. 
'Mr  Atwatters  ye  Treasurer,'  acted  as  administrator  of  a  number  of  estates. 
He  was  also  chosen  'Deputy'  of  the  Court  for  a  number  of  years.  He  appears 
as  plaintiff,  in  a  number  of  actions  before  the  Court,  to  recover  for  goods 
and  cattle  sold.  In  more  than  a  dozen  cases,  he  requests  permission  to  sell 
land. 

At  one  hearing,  it  was  ordered:  Ttt  is  ordered  thatt  brother  Attwater 
(note  spelling)  and  Robt  Hill  shall  be  exempted  fro  watch  in  their  own 
persons,  by  reason  of  their  bodyly  infirmityes,  yett  so  as  to  finde  each  of 
them  a  man  to  watch  their  roome.' 

In  1646.  Thomas  Fugill,  first  secretary  of  the  Colony,  was  dismissed 
from  his  office  and  excommunicated  from  the  New  Haven  Church,  for 
'falsyfying  of  orders  and  records'  and  thereby  securing  52  acres  of  land  to 
which  he  was  not  entitled. 

In  the  list  of  estate   (p.  93)    with  the  names  of  'Planters,'  we  find  the 

following  listings: 

"'  'persons  -  acres  -  Ist.div.  -  neck  -  meadow  -  2nd-yearely  rate. 

'Josuah  Attwater'  2         300         20         4         16  64         01-11-06 

'David  Attwater'  1  500  2414       141  1-11-14' 

During  one  of  these  sessions,  the  Courte  sentenced  'Richard  fido.  hath 
bine  a  false  vnfaithful  servant  to  his  Master'  and  also  'Thomas  Meekes  for 
stealing,  receiving  stollen  goods,  and  intertaining  &  inviting  mens  servants 
...  to  drink  strong  watter'  and  'conceale  it.'  etc. 

'Therfore  the  sentenc  of  ye  Court  is  that  Thomas  Meekes  paye  twenty 
pounds  as  a  fine  for  these  misdemenours  and  miscariages,  and  when  fido 
and  Sloper  is  whipped,  he  and  his  wife  are  to  come  to  ye  whipping  post,  and 
stand  ther.  putting  each  of  them  one  hand  into  ye  hole  of  the  post  whill  ye 
other  are  whipped:  that  they  may  haue  part  of  ye  shame  wch  their  sinn 
deserveth:  and  to  give  security  for  the  fine,  or  paye  it  presently,  and  to  pay 
the  due  charges  of  the  prison.' 

On  the  '30th  of  the  6'  Mon:  1641'  at  a  Genrll  Court  hearing:  "Mr. 
Goodyeare  propounded  his  purchase  of  Mr.  Farrets  Lland"  to  the  towne,  butt 
itt  was  nott  accepted." 

■""Now  called  Shelter  Island.  Mr.  Goodyeare  .  .  .  purchased  May  18. 
1641,  and  sold  it  June  9.  1651,  to  Thomas  Middleton.  Thomas  Rouse.  Con-

16  ATWATER  GENEALOGY 

It  was  during  this  period  that  New  Haven  Plantation  united  with 
Connecticut  (Hartford)  Plantation,  with  the  definite  agreement  that  each 
town  should  remain  a  capital. 

Training  in  the  Market-Place  and  keeping  watch  were  two  duties  of  all 
Church-Court  members,  unless  exempt.  ""John  Benham  informed  the  courte 
that  he  was  fined  by  the  courte  for  neglecting  to  warn  Dauid  Attwater  to 
watch.  It  was  by  the  secretarie  that  then  was,  entred  5s,  but  it  was  but  2s:6d, 
and  seing  diners  doe  remember  it  was  but  2s:6d.  the  courte  agreed  that  he 
should  paye  no  more." 

"Dauid  Attwater  entred  an  action  against  Mathias  Hitchcocke,  for  10 
pounds  wch  the  said  Mathias  Hitchcocke  receaved  of  Dauid  Atwatter,  for 
the  service  of  Thomas  Whitehead  for  four  years  and  eighte  moneths,  wch 
Mathias  Hitchcocke  could  not  performe.  he  not  haueing  a  full  right  to  dispose 
of  the  saide  Thomas  .  .  .  but  now  the  said  Thomas  declareth  himeselfe  willing 
to  abide  w'h  his  master  David  Atwatter,  till  he  maye  heare  from  his  vnkell, 
so  he  maye  haue  just  satisfaction  for  the  time  to  come,  so  longe  as  he  stayeth 
wth  hime.  They  bothe  agreed  before  the  courte.  that  he  should  haue  3  pounds 
a  yeare,  meate,  drinke  and  clothes." 

"David  Atwater,  Richard  Mansfield,  is  to  finde  each  of  them  a  man  to 
watch  at  the  towne  in  regarde  of  ther  house  lots  heare." 

Why  the  'Courte'  required  owners  of  vacant  house  lots,  to  supply  a  man 
for  watch  is  beyond  our  comprehension.  This  original  precaution  was  insti- 
gated to  be  ready  for  any  emergency.  However,  our  Colonists  were  more 
fearful  of  the  Dutch  than  the  Indians  or  other  catastrophy. 

There  was  a  fight  with  the  Dutch  over  Stamford.  "The  Dutch  authorities 
at  New  Amsterdam  reported  to  their  superiors  in  Holland  that  'Rodenberg' 
or  New  Haven,  contained,  eleven  years  after  it  was  founded,  about  1,340 
families.  But,  though  affirmed  of  New  Haven  town,  it  must  have  been  .  .  . 
their  informant's  estimate  of  the  population  of  the  Colony." 

He  died  in   1692.  He  had  out-lived  most  of  the  original  planters  who 

arrived  on  the  Hector  in  1637.  David's  farm — known  as  Attwater  East  Farms 

— was  on  the  west  side  of  Quinnipiac  or  New  Haven. 


The  Colleg-iate  School 

Later  to  be  known 


as 

Yale  College 

On  Christmas  Day,  in  1641,  at  Town  Meeting,  a  proposal  was  made  to 
establish  'schools  for  all,  where  the  rudiments  of  knowledge  might  be  gained, 
schools  where  learned  languages  might  be  taught:  a  public  library:  and  to 
crown  all,  a  college  in  which  young  might  be  fitted  for  public  service  in 
Church  and  State.' 

Livermore  states  in  his  'Republic  of  New  Haven':  'Schools,  public  and 
private,  which  were  always  maintained  in  New  Haven,  probably  found  their 
prototypes  and  models  in  the  collegia  which  existed  or  had  existed,  in  the 
mother  towns  of  Ashford,  Coventry   and  London.'

The  others  were:  'Rev.  Samuel  Andrew  of  Milford,  who  for  several 
years  was  a  resident  Fellow  and  Tutor  at  Harvard,  where  he  gained  great 
reputation  as  a  scholar  and  as  an  instructor,  and  later  became  the  second 
Rector  of  Yale. 

Rev.  Thomas  Buckingham,  of  Saybrook.  a  native  of  Milford,  educated  at 
Hopkins  School  in  New  Haven  and  long  recognized  as  one  of  the  most  able 
men  in  the  Colony. 

Rev.  Irrail  Chauncey.  of  Stratford,  son  of  the  second  president  of  Harvard 
and  at  one  time  teacher  in  the  Hopkins  School  of  New  Haven.  A  man  of 
varied  gifts,  who  beside  his  standing  as  a  clergyman,  had  a  high  reputation 
for  medical  skill  as  well  as  general  scholarship. 

Rev.    Samuel    Mather,    of    Windsor,    closely    connected    with    the    celebrated 

Mather  family  of  Boston  and  exceptionally  successful  as  a  pastor. 

Rev.  James  Noyes,  of  Stonington.  the  leading  minister  of  the  Colony,  and 

the  one  usually  invited  to  preside  as  Moderator  at  councils  and  other  meetings 

of  the  clergy. 

Rev.    Abraham    Pierson,    of   Kenilworth,    son    of   the    principal    founder    of 

Newark,  N.  J.,  who  on  coming  to  Connecticut,  took  a  prominent  place  at 

once  among  the  ministers  of  the  Colony  and  was  known  as  an  able  scholar 

and  later  became  the  first  Rector  of  Yale. 

Rev.   Noadiah  Russell,   of  Middletown.   a   native  of  New   Haven,   where   his 

parents  had  been   among  the  original  settlers. 

Rev.  Joseph  Webb,  of  Fairfield,  where  he  had  settled  but  a  few  years  prior 

to  1700. 

Rev.    Timothy   Woodbridge.    of    Hartford,    than    whom    no    minister    in    the 

Colony  had  a  higher  reputation   for   learning,   for  wisdom   in   counsel,   and 

for  public  spirit,  and  had  gained  more  completely  the  public  confidence.' 

At  this  time.  New  Haven  was  part  of  Connecticut.  Seven  of  the  ministers 
came  from  sections  that  had  formed  the  original  'New  Haven  Republic'  It 
was  natural,  therefore,  with  the  Rev.  James  Pierpont  as  leader,  that  New 
Haven  was  choosen.  as  the  site  for  the  college,  by  the  majority.  As  remarked 
by  one  member  of  the  Assembly:  'We  on  purpose  gave  your  academy  as 
low  a  name  as  we  could,  that  it  might  better  stand  in  wind  and  weather.' 

The  Trustees  met  at  Saybrook  and  organized  on  November  11.  1701. 
Jacob  Heminway  was  the  first  student.  The  first  graduate  was  Nathaniel 
Chauncey  of  Stratford.  Eight  students  registered  under  one  tutor  in  Septem- 
ber of  1702. 

During  the  next  fourteen  years  much  discord  arose  thru  the  lack  of 
proper  meeting  arrangements.  In  the  beginning,  students  were  forced  to 
travel  to  Milford  to  Pierson's  home.  And  in  the  second  rector's  period,  the 
home  of  Samuel  Andrew  had  to  be  visited  for  lectures.  At  the  last  commence- 
ment held  in  Saybrook  (1716)  the  only  tutor  resigned.  Students  were 
distributed  throughout  the  entire  Colony.

20  ATWATER  GENEALOGY 

In  my  Yale  Genealogy,  published  in  1908,  under  a  picture  of  Elihu 
Yale,  is  the  caption— < FOUNDER  OF  YALE  UNIVERSITY).  Now  let  us 
review  the  facts  to  ascertain  the  truth  or  absurdity  of  this  claim. 

The  Collegiate  School  had  been  in  existence  for  many  years  before  Elihu 
Yale  made  any  response  to  the  numerous  requests  that  had  been  made  for 
his  assistance.  As  an  Atwater  descendant,  you  shciLl  know  that  Elihu  was 
the  third  child  of  David  \ale,  one  of  the  original  planters  of  the  New 
Haven  Colony. 

Apparently,  David  Yale  must  have  considered  the  'Church-State  hierarchy' 
in  New  Haven  not  to  his  liking,  as  we  find  him  established  in  Boston  as 
early  1641.  And  there  is  no  doubt  about  his  civil  and  religious  difficulties 
in  the  home  of  the  'bean  and  the  cod.'  Not  being  in  sympathy  with  local 
laws,  nor  religious  dogma  of  the  colonists,  David  took  personal  action,  as 
a  member  of  the  established  Church  of  England.  Inducing  six  others  to  join 
him,  a  revolutionary  petition  was  presented  to  the  General  Court  of  Massa- 
chusetts Bay.  The  appellants  objected  to  the  'non-admission  to  the  churches, 
of  those  who  acknowledged  the  established  religion  of  England,  and  at  the 
non-participation  of  the  inhabitants,  who  were  not  members  of  the  colony 
church,  in  the  management  of  civil  affairs,  as  voters  and  office  holders.' 

'The  authorities  of  Massachusetts'  were  not  ready  for  such  a  revolu- 
tionary change.  The  petition's  most  offensive  clause  was  a  threat  of  appeal 
to  the  parliamentary  government  in  England.  And  they  were  not  satisfied 
with  a  carefully  drawn  argument  but  included  a  fine  of  $600.  which  David 
Yale  had  to  pay.  He  returned  to  England  in  1651.  His  second  son.  Elihu, 
born  in  Boston  on  April  5.  1649,  returned  with  his  mother  and  brother 
David,  to  England  in  1652. 

As  a  young  gentleman,  Elihu  lived  thru  one  of  the  most  turbulent  periods 
of  England's  checkered  history.  There  was  the  rise  and  fall  of  Oliver, 
Croniwell's  regime;  the  Restoration;  the  plague  and  the  Great  Fire.  It  was 
also  the  heyday  of  Milton.  Dryden,  Jeremy  Taylor,  Richard  Baxter,  George 
Fox  and  Wm  Penn. 

The   East   Indian   Company   racket,   which   had   been    established    by    a 

grant  from  that  notorious  Elizabeth,  the  First,  now  attracted  the  interest  of 

Elihu  Yale.  The  interesting  story  of  his  reign,  as  Governor,  for  five  years, 

at  Madras,  accumulating  a  fortune  of  '500,000  pagodas';   his  removal  from 

office  by  the  Company;    and  numerous  trials,   including  one   for  murder"; 

does  not  picture  'the  founder  of  Yale'  as  a  very  worthy  hero  for  such  an  honor. 

(  ■"   Had  one  of  his  grooms  hung  for  riding  a  favorite  horse  of  his  without 
permission. ) 

It   was   thru   the   efforts   of   Jeremiah   Dummer,    agent    in    London,    for 

Province  of  Massachusetts  Bay  and  the  Colony  of  Connecticut,  that  Gov.  Yale 

became  interested  in  the  Collegiate  School.  During  1711,  Mr.  Dummer  wrote 

the  Rev.  James  Pierpont,  the  actual  founder  of  Yale  College,  suggesting  the 

possibility  of  securing  funds  from  the  'former  Governor  of  Fort  St.  George.'

Dummer.  despite  his  justifiable  pleas,  failed  to  induce  the  heirs  to  recognize 
it  as  a  valid  legacy. 

The  Yale  Genealogy  refers,  here  and  there,  to  the  Governor's  marital 
status.  While  Elihu  married  Catharine  Elford  Hynmers  at  Madras,  in  1680, 
the  Genealogy  'admits — that  he  also  was  living'  there,  "in  immoral  relations 
with  a  Mrs.  Nicks  and  a  Mrs.  Pavia.  the  latter  a  Portuguese  Jewess.'  Mrs. 
Hynmers  is  described  as  'a  copper-colored  native  of  India.'  But  recent  his- 
torians have  placed  Mrs.  Hynmers  as  English,  even  though  they  admit  she 
might  have  been  Portuguese  and  a  Jewess! 

There  were  many  men,  during  those  early  years  of  the  Collegiate  School, 
who  gave  much  time  and  substance  to  the  success  of  the  College  project: 
Joshua  Attwater.  John  Davenport.  Governor  Hopkins  and  many  others.  And 
finally,  there  was  the  Rev.  James  Pierpont.  who  influenced  the  Assembly. 
managed  the  Trustees,  with  perseverance  and  diplomacy,  and  finally  brought 
about  the  action  that  culminated  in  the  building  in  New  Haven. 

Rev.  James  Pierpont  should  have  been  recognized  as  the  founder  of  Yale. 

The  name  'Yale  College'  was  changed  to  'Yale  University'  in  1887,  by 
authority  of  the  General  Assembly  of  the  State  of  Connecticut. 


The  Charter  Oak  Incident 

Until  about  1658  New  Haven  had  apparently  not  given  much  thought  to 
obtaining  a  charter  from  England,  but  about  that  time  some  thought  was 
given  this  matter.  It  did  not  seem  too  urgent  and  as  the  situation  in  England 
at  that  time  was  not  favorable  the  matter  was  dropped. 

About  1660  the  Connecticut  colony,  which  comprised  of  Hartford, 
Windsor,  and  Wethersfield,  felt  that  it  was  highly  desirable  that  a  charter  be 
obtained,  giving  them  title  to  the  land  they  had  settled.  Consequently  in  July. 
1661  their  Governor.  John  Winthrop.  Jr.  was  sent  to  England  to  attempt  to 
obtain  a  charter  for  Connecticut.  On  his  way  he  stopped  at  New  Haven  to 
discuss  the  matter  with  its  leaders.  There  appears  to  be  no  record  of  any 
understanding  having  been  reached,  but  there  seems  reason  to  believe  that 
New  Haven's  Governor.  William  Leete,  was  in  favor  of  having  the  Charter 
include  both  colonies, 

Winthrop  was  successful  in  obtaining  a  favorable  charter  from  King 
Charles  II  in  1662.  However,  when  the  New  Haven  Colony  learned  that  it 
embraced  both  the  Connecticut  and  New  Haven  colonies,  much  opposition 
was  voiced  and  an  appeal  was  made  to  the  King.  By  late  1664  much  of  the 
opposition  had  been  quieted  and  certain  compromises  made  by  both  colonies 
so  that  on  December  13,  1664  New  Haven  held  its  last  Court,  for  the  purpose 
of  terminating  the  colony.  On  January  5,  1665  New  Haven  wrote  the 
Connecticut  Assembly  declaring  submission  thereto  and  in  the  spring  of  that 
year  four  magistrates  were  sent  to  the  Connecticut  Assembly.

It  is  fitting  that  all  those  who  bear  the  Atwater  family  name  should 
make  the  acquaintance  of  Edward  E.  (1816-1877).  for  each  owes  him  a 
debt  whether  he  knows  it  or  not. 


Edward  Elias  Atwater  was  a  native  of  New  Haven.  Conn.,  where  he  was 
born  May  28,  1816,  the  son  of  Elihu  and  Julia  E.  Thompson  Atwater.  He 
attended  Yale,  graduating  in   1836,   and   in  the  following   year  entered  the

26  ATWATER  GENEALOGY 

"Tradition  says  that  the  family  of  Joshua,  in  the  male  line,  soon  became 
extinct;  and  all  researches  yet  made  serve  to  confirm  it.  He  was  probably  a 
married  man  at  the  time  of  his  emigration,  as  his  family  is  numbered  as 
two  persons  in  the  list  of  planters.  If  this  be  so,  he  soon  lost  his  wife,  for  he 
married  Mary  Blackman,  the  daughter  of  a  clergyman  in  Stratford,  May 
6,  1651,  by  whom  he  had  two  sons  and  one  or  more  daughters  .  .  .  Previous 
to  1665,  or  early  in  that  year,  he  removed  to  Boston,  as  in  a  deed  dated 
in  that  year,  by  which  he  conveyed  to  his  brother  David  his  house  and 
lands  in  New  Haven,  he  describes  himself  as  'Joshua  Atwater  of  Boston, 
New  England.' 

"If  it  be  true  that  the  family  of  Joshua  in  the  male  line  became  extinct, 
all  in  America  who  bear  the  name  of  Atwater  are  descendants  of  David.  None 
have  yet  been  found  who  could  not  trace  their  lineage,  by  means  of  this 
register,  to  him." 

This  1851  volume  lists  six  males  in  the  second  generation,  seventeen 
in  the  third,  thirty-four  in  the  fourth,  and  fifty-four  in  the  fifth  generations. 
In  the  1871  revision  of  this  document  the  compiler  adds  a  few  items  of  family 
history,  but  in  a  very  modest  way. 

The  Rev.  Mr.  Atwater  visited  England  twice  during  the  later  years  of 
his  life,  once  in  1875  and  again  in  1887,  with  a  purpose  "to  ascertain  with 
as  much  exactness  as  possible  what  relation  of  consanguininity  there  was 
between  Robert  Atwater  of  Royton  Chapel  and  the  other  Atwaters  in  his 
neighborhood.  My  first  study  was  of  the  diocesan  register  at  Canterbury. 
As  my  eyes  ran  over  the  list  of  baptisms  in  Lenham,  my  attention  was  arrested 
by  the  name  of  Anthony  Thompson  ...  I  recognized  the  name  as  belonging 
to  one  of  my  ancestors  .  .  .  But  what  was  my  surprise  to  find  .  .  .  that  the 
blood  of  the  Atwaters  and  the  Thompsons,  which  had  become  commingled 
in  my  own  veins  .  .  .  had  been  commingled  two  centuries  before  in  the  veins 
of  Anthony  Thompson,  whose  mother  was,  I  believe,  the  granddaughter  of 
Robert  Atwater  of  Royton  Chapel." 

Edward  E.  began  the  compilation  of  the  record  of  descent  of  the  Atwaters 
in  England  in  the  expectation  that  he  might  publish  his  findings,  but  he  died 
before  the  task  was  well  under  way.  It  was  advanced  by  Robert  Henry 
Atwater  of  Washington,  D.  C.  and  published  by  Francis  Atwater  of  New 
Haven. 

Reverend  Edward,  however,  wrote  several  volumes,  one  at  least  on  a 
theological  subject,  and  two  valued  volumes,  one  on  the  history  of  the  New 
Haven  Colony  ( 1880)  and  the  other  on  the  History  of  the  City  of  New  Haven 
(1887).  He  must  have  had  a  prodigious  memory  and  he  proved  a  delightful 
companion  as  he  made  contacts  with  members  of  the  family  in  his  travels. 
(See  Atwater  History.  Vol.  1,  Pg.  432-436,  for  Rev.  Amzi  Atwater's  account 
of  a  trip  in  and  near  New  Haven  in  1880  with  Edward  E.)

28  ATWATER  GENEALOGY 

This  opportunity  afforded  to  the  writer  to  review  the  record  of  Rev. 
Edward  E.  Atwater  has  made  him  appreciate  more  than  ever  the  debt  which 
those  who  bear  this  name  owe  him  as  the  first  systematic  compiler  of  the 
family  records.  It  took  much  time  and  faithful  research  to  produce  the  volume 
of  1851.  Today  that  volume  seems  primitive  in  contrast  with  the  latest  volumes 
about  the  family  like  this  one  and  those  published  by  Francis  Atwater.  But 
such  a  genealogical  record  was  not  born  in  a  day.  Only  patient  and  per- 
severing work  produced  the  very  adequate  record  which  we  and  our  children 
now  enjoy.  Edward  E.  chose  to  begin  his  studies  at  a  time  when  priceless 
records  and  memories  were  failing.  Let  us  hope  that  in  our  generation  there 
may  be  others  with  similar  industry  to  carry  on  the  task. 

— Reginald  M.  Atwater,  M.D. 

Clara  Barton 
A  Friend  of  the  Family 

The  present  generation  of  Atwaters  will  have  little  acquaintance  with 
the  esteem  in  which  phrenologists  were  once  held.  In  the  period  of  say 
1830  to  1860  they  were  popularly  believed  to  possess  scientific  powers  and 
to  be  able  to  prescribe  the  best  line  of  endeavor  for  one  to  pursue.  In  an 
impressive  manner  the  phrenologist  would  "examine"  the  person  before 
him,  announce  his  characteristics,  and  advise  which  had  best  be  developed 
and  which  corrected. 

Such  a  one  was  L.  W.  Fowler  who.  when  on  a  visit  to  the  home  of 
Stephen  and  Sarah  Barton  at  Oxford.  Massachusetts,  was  asked  what  their 
daughter  Clara,  ought  to  do  in  life,  answered., 

"The  sensitive  mature  will  always  remain. 
She  will  never  assert  herself  for  herself; 
she  will  suffer  wrong  first.  But  for  others 
she  will  be  perfectly  fearless.  Throw  respon- 
sibility upon  her." 
Fowler's  advice  was  that  she  should  become  a  school  teacher. 

Perhaps  other  children  of  fifteen  have  had  expressed  the  manner  in 
which  their  character  could  develop  in  future  years  but  this  prophesy  was 
to  be  fulfilled  through  a  lifetime  of  service  to  others  that  is  outstanding. 

Here  was  a  woman  who  was  destined  to  'stand  before  Kings'  and  receive 
the  honors  of  many  countries.  No  American  born  in  the  1920's  can  live 
to  know  as  many  presidents  as  knew  her  and  gave  her  praise. 

Born  on  Christmas  Day  in  1821  she  was  in  her  60th  year  when  the 
American  Red  Cross  was  formed  and  was  83  when  she  retired.  A  small,  erect 
person,  only  five  feet  tall,  she  preserved  a  remarkably  youthful  manner 
until  well  beyond  the  years  when  many  would  have  been  saving  their  energy. 

In  Miss  Barton's  efforts  to  assist  families  in  tracing  soldiers  who  had 
been  reported  missing  after  battles  in  the  South,  she  was  assisted  by  Dorence

of  the  Red  Cross  during  the  Spanish-American  War  and  had  accompanied

ATWATER  GENEALOGY 


13th  centuries  arms  appeared  increasingly  on  shields.  Within  a  short  time 
most  of  the  great  houses  in  England  and  upon  the  Continent  were  displaying 
them.  '     ^     ^ 

Writers  attribute  the  sudden  emergency  of  heraldry  at  this  time  to  the 
need  of  knights  and  lords  for  some  mark  of  identification.  When  they  were 
in  full  armor,  they  were  unrecognizable.  Few  could  read  so  instead  of  usmg 
a  nanieplate  each  man  adopted  a  distinctive  insignia,  known  as  a  "coat  of 
arms."  He  displayed  this  on  his  shield,  banner  and  horsecloth,  as  well  as  on 
his  coat,  and  wore  it  in  civil  life  as  well.  The  hereditary  character  of  heraldry 
owed  its  existence  to  the  feudal  social  system  in  which  society  on  its  secular 
side  was  held  together  by  personal  allegiance  of  each  man  to  his  lord.  The 
coat  of  arms  became  not  only  a  symbol  of  the  owner's  identity  but  also  his 
status  as  well. 

The   great   increase   in   the   number   of  coats   of   arms  eventually   made 
some  kind  of  control  necessary.  By  the  end  of  the  13th  century,  about  1.500 
arms  had  been  adopted  in   England.   Evidence  points  out  that   in   the   14th 
century   ownership   of   arms   had    acquired    legal    recognition.    By    the    15th 
century,  it  became  the  duty  of  the  "King  of  Heralds,"  later  known   as  the 
Kmg  of  Arms  and  also  the  Garter,  to  register  the  arms  of  noble  gentlemen 
and  still  later  to  give  patents  of  arms  to  applicants.  The  King  of  Arms  or 
Garter  was  assisted  by  a  number  of  heralds.  The  output  of  patents  steadily 
mcreased  from  the  reign  of  Henry  VI  to  that  of  Elizabeth,  after  which  there 
began  some  decline.  Those  to  whom  patents  to   coats  of  arms  were   issued 
were  corporate  bodies,  higher  ecclesiastics  and  all  classes  of  new  men.  How- 
ever, with  the  discontinuance  of  tournaments  and  the  change  in  the  character 
of  war.  emphasis  in  the  use  of  heraldry  shifted  from  military  to  civilian  use. 
During  the  Tudor  period,  the  symbolic  use  of  arms  at  funeral  increased  while 
Its  use   in   war   diminished.   With   the   passing   of   the   Tudors,    heraldic    art 
generally  declined. 

The  English  and  Continentals  drew  upon  the  entire  animal  kingdom  and 
garden  for  heraldic  devices.  Some  of  the  more  common  were  the  lion,  leopard, 
stag,  wolf,  eagle,  falcon,  the  rose,  fish,  fleur-de-lys,  swan  and  the  ass  head! 
Other  well-known  devices  from  other  sources  frequently  used  were  the  sun, 
crescent,  mullet,  escallup,  shells  and  sheaths  of  grass.  In  certain  instances' 
the  wearers  selected  symbols  suggesting  their  names.  Examples  of  these  are 
as  follows: 

The  House  of  Griffon  bore  the  griffin 
The  House  of  Drake  bore  the  fire-drake  or  dragon 
The  Cockfields  bore  silver  three  cocks  gules 
The  Pelhams  bore  azure  three  pelicans  silver 
The  Lucys  bore  gules  three  luces  (or  pikes)   silver 
The  Herons  bore  azure  three  herons  silver 

The  three  swans,  likewise,  in  the  Atwater  coat  of  arms,  together  with  the 
wavy  bars,  suggest  'Svater,"

other,  that  family  is  entitled  to  a  differenced  version  of  the  arms.  Unrelated 
families,  therefore,  who  have  the  same  surname  are  given  a  dissimilar  plain 
coat  of  arms. 

The  Atwater  coat  of  arms  was  worn  on  several  important  State  occasions 
in  the  history  of  England.  It  is  first  recorded  as  being  borne  by  John  Water, 
York  Herald  at  Arms,  at  the  funeral  of  King  Edward  IV  in  1483.  His  arms 
were  described  as  "sable,  on  a  fesse  wavy  argent,  between  three  swans  of  the 
second,  two  bars,  wavy  azure,  crest  a  demi-talbot  argent,  in  the  mouth  an 
arrow  gules."  These  arms  belonged  to  the  "Atwaters  of  Kent."  with  variations 
of  the  fesse  for  difference.  The  arms  with  the  same  crest  were  confirmed  to 
Robert  Atwater  of  Kent  by  Clarencieux  Harvey  in  1564.  with  ''the  colors  of 
the  crest  being  transposed  for  difference."  Robert  Atwater  being  without 
male  heirs,  it  is  found  that  his  daughter  Mary,  who  married  Robert  Hony- 
wood,  inherited  several  of  her  father's  manors  and  bore  his  coat  of  arms. 
At  the  entrance  of  one  of  the  Honywood  manor  houses,  a  contemporary 
writer  in  the  late  16th  century  described  the  carved  quarterings  of  the 
family's  arms.  One  of  these  was  the  "Sable,  wavy,  bendy,  of  four,  in  fesse 
argent,  between  three  swans  proper,  for  Waters."

"Build  me  straight.   0  worthy  Master. 

Stanch  and  strong,  a  goodly  vessel, 
That  shall  laugh  at  all  disaster. 

And  with  wave  and  whirlwind  wrestle." 

— Longfellow 

Among  the  more  progressive  of  those  early  New  Haven  settlers — and  the 
Attwaters  should  be  included  in  this  category — were  many  traders.  In  order 
to  satisfy  the  demands  of  the  growing  population  and  incidentallv  meet  the 
superior  requirements  of  some  of  the  more  'Opulent'  members  of  the  Colony, 
it  was  found  necessary  to  go  far  afield  to  meet  these  demands. 

Ships  that  were  built  in  the  Colony  were  soon  sailing  the  seven  seas. 
In  order  to  appreciate  the  extent  of  these  enterprising  traders,  one  should 
read  the  account  of  my  direct  ancestor.  Jonathan,  seventh  son  of  David  the 
First.  Known  as  'The  Merchant  Prince  of  New  England,'  Jonathan  traded 
throughout  the  world.  His  will,  as  outlined  on  pages  99  to  110.  of  Atwater 
History  of  1901,  proves  his  diversified  and  far-reaching  contacts.

which  Atwater  had  been  a  part  owner.  The  NEUTRALITY  sailed  from  New 
Haven  on  or  about  February  19,  1799,  bound  for  Martinique.  On  April  1. 
1799,  the  ship  was  captured  by  a  French  privateer  and  was  afterwards  recap- 
tured by  the  United  States  ship  Constitution  and  carried  into  Martinque  and 
proceeded  against  for  salvage  by  the  re-captors.  On  April  16,  1914,  the  court 
dismissed  the  claim  for  want  of  sufficient  evidence." 

There  was  considerable  interesting  material,  to  us  'Attwaters,'  in  the 
original  'Petitions,'  'Briefs,'  and  'Statements  of  Alleged  Facts.'  We  wish  that 
space  allowed  us  to  reprint  them  all  in  Volume  5.  However,  our  briefs  may 
be  of  interest  to  show  how  successfully  hijacking  on  the  seas  was  carried 
on  in  1800. 

These  covered  cases  and  claims  involving  the  Schooner  NEUTRALITY — 
value  $3,600.  Owners — Thomas  Attwater,  Ebenezer  Peck,  Elias  Shipman. 
Austin  Denison  and  Elnathan  Attwater.  Built  at  Kingston,  Mass.,  1793.  but 
registered  at  New  Haven.  Oct.  1st,  1798,  89  11/95  tons.  With  cargo  valued 
at  $7,272. 

'The  brig  HULKER,'  a  duly  registered  vessel  of  the  United  States,  Peter 
Clark,  Master,  of  114;  Brig,  rigged;  valued  at  $5,700;  with  cargo  $8,980. 
Owners,  Thomas  Attwater,  Frederick,  John  and  Jess  Hunt,  and  Richard 
Cutter. 

The  'CERES.'  a  registered  vessel  of  the  United  States  of  52  tons,  valued 
with  cargo  at  $8,800.  Owners— Thomas  Attwater,  Elnathan  Attwater  and 
Amos  White.  Master. 

Possibly  the  most  interesting  items  disclosed  in  all  these  claims,  which 
necessitated  over  one  hundred  years  of  legal  effort,  are  in  the  manifests  of 
cargo;  to  wit:

And  at  last  their  prayers  were  answered: 

It  was  in  the  month  of  June, 
An  hour  before  sunset 

Of  a  windy  afternoon. 

When,  steadily  steering  landward. 

A  ship  was  seen  below. 
And  they  knew  it  was  Lamberton.  Master, 

Who  sailed  so  long  ago. 

On  she  came,  with  a  cloud  of  canvas. 

Right  against  the  wind  that  blew. 
Until  the  eye  could  distinguish 

The  faces  of  the  crew. 

Then  fell  her  straining  topmasts. 

Hanging  tangled  in  the  shrouds, 
And  her  sails  were  loosened  and  lifted, 

And  blown  away  like  clouds. 

And  the  masts,  with  all  their  rigging, 

Fell  slowly,  one  by  one. 
And  the  hulk  dilated  and  vanished, 

As  a  sea-mist  in  the  sun! 

And  the  people  who  saw  this  marvel 

Each  said  unto  his  friend, 
That  this  was  the  mould  of  their  vessel. 

And  thus  her  tragic  end. 

And  the  pastor  of  the  village 

Gave  thanks  to  God  in  prayer. 
That,  to  quiet  their  troubled  spirits. 

He  had  sent  this  Ship  of  Air. 

In  the  'Preface'  of  Cotton  Mather's  'Magnalia  Christi  Americana— or 
the  Ecclesiastical  History  of  New  England,'  first  published  in  London  in 
1702,  it  states: 

'The  great  object  of  the  first  Planters  of  New  England  was  to  form 
A  CHRISTIAN  COMMONWEALTH.'  This  littera^  humaniores  was  quill- 
driven  so  near  to  the  period  of  New  Haven  settlement  days,  that  the  following 
citations  should  be  of  interest  to  all  our  family  members: 

's.5.  But  there  was  one  thing  that  made  this  colony  (New  Haven  I  very 
considerable:  which  thing  remains  now  to  be  considered.  The  well-known 
Mr  Davenport  and  Mr.  Eaton,  and  several  eminent  persons  that  came  over 
to  the  Massachuset-bay  among  some  of  the  first  planters,  were  strongh  urged, 
that  they  would  have  settled  in  this  Bay:  but  hearing  of  another  Bay  to  the 
southwest  of  Connecticut,  which  might  be  more  capable  to  entertain  those 
that  were  to  follow  them,  they  desired  their  friends  at  Connecticut  would 
purchase  of  the  native  proprietors  for  them,  all  the  land  that  lay  between 
themselves  and  Hudson's  River,  which  was  in  part  effected. 

Accordingly  removing  thither  in  the  year  1637,  they  seated  themselves 
in  a  pleasant   Bay.   where  they  spread   themselves   along' the   sea-coast,   and

^^  ATWATER  GENEALOGY 


our  harbour  s  mouth,  which  hes  southward  from  the  town,  seemingly  with 
her  sails  filled  under  a  fresh  gale,  holding  her  course  north,  and  continuing 
under  observation,  sailing  against  the  wind  for  the  space  of  an  hour 

Many  were  drawn  to  behold  this  great  work   of  God:    yea.   the  very 
children  cryed  out,  'There's  a  brave  ship!'  '  ^ 

At  length,  crowding  up  as  far  as  there  is  usually  water  sufficient  for 
such  a  vessel,  and  so  near  some  of  the  spectators,  as  they  imagined  a  man 
might  hurl  a  stone  on  board  her,  her  main-top  seemed  to 'be  blown  off.  bu 
eft  hanging  m  the  shrouds;  then  her  mizzen-top;  then  all  her  masting 
seemed  blown  away  by  the  board:  quickly  after  the  hulk  brought  into  a 
careen  she  overset,  and  so  vanished  into  a  smoaky  cloud,  which  in  some 
time  dissipated,  leaving,  as  everywhere  else,  a  clear  air 

The  admiring  spectators  could  distinguish  the  several  colours  of  each 
part,  the  principal  rigging,  and  such  proportions,  as  caused  not  only  the 
generality  of  persons  to  say:  This  was  the  mould  of  their  ship  and  thus 
was  her  tragick  end.  ' 

But  Mr.  Davenport,  also  in  public,  declared  to  this  effect:  That  God 
had  condescended,  for  the  quieting  of  their  afflicted  spirits,  this  extraordinary 
account  of  his  sovereign  disposal  of  those  whom  so  many  fervent  prayers 
were  made  continually.'  ^  prayers 

Thus,  I  am.  Sir, 
Your  humble  servant, 

James  Pierpont.' 
•Reader,  there  being  yet  living  so  many  credible  gentlemen,  that  were 
eye  witnesses  of  this  wonderful  thing.  I  venture  to  publish  it  for  a  thing  as 
undoubted  as  'tis  wonderful.  ^ 

But  let  us  now  proceed  with  our  story.   Our  christians  of  New-Haven 
apprehended  themselves  disadvantageously  seated  for  the  affairs  of  husbandry 
and   therefore   upon   these   disasters   they   made   attempts   of   removing   into 
some  other  parts  of  the  world.'  ^ 

I  Editor's  note:  There  is  no  basis  in  our  family  or  other  records  to 
confirm  this  statement.  While  it  is  taken  for  granted  that  some  dissatisfied 
or  venturous  persons  would  leave  for  other  parts  of  the  new  World— the 
main  body,  including  David,  continued,  during  numerous  generations,  with 
the  upbuilding  of  New  Haven.  Jonathan's  will  also  denies  the  disaster  clause 
showing  that  successful  trading  in  and  fro.n  the  Colony,  could  be  accom- 
plished even  in  the  second  generation.) 

'One  while  they  were  invited  into  Delaware-bay,  another  while  they  were 
invited  to  Jamaica:  offers  made  them  from  Ireland  also,  after  the  wars  there 
were  over;  and  they  entered  into  some  treaties  about  the  City  of  Galloway 
which  they  were  to  have  had  as  a  small  province  to  themselve"s. 

'But  God  of  Heaven  still  strangely  disappointed  all  these  attempts-  and 
vvhereas  they  were  concerned  how  their  posterity  should  be  able  to  live  if 
they  must  make  husbandry  their  main  shift  for' their  living:  that  posterity 
of  theirs  by  the  good  province  of  God.  instead  of  coming  to  begirv  and 
misery,  having  thriven  wonderfully:  the  colony  is  improved  \wth  many 
wealthy  husbandmen,  and  is  to  become  no  small  part  of  the  best  granary 
tor  all  i\ew-Lngland.  ^ 

'And  same  good  Providence  has  all  along  so  preserved  them  from 
annoyance  by  the  Indians,  that  although  at  their  first  setting  down  there  were 
lew  towns  I  this  also  appears  to  be  in  error,  as  there  were  no  other  towns  in

of  Upson  county;  he  has  given  liberally  to  equip  the  new  James  R.  Atwater 
school.  He  gave  money  for  erecting  the  Vocational  Agriculture  Building,  and 
he  makes  regular  grants  to  the  FFA  chapter  to  assist  members  in  their 
training  program. 


The  Future  Farmers  of  America  is  a  national  organization  of  farm  boys 
who  are  studving  vocational  agriculture  in  the  public  schools.  Started  in 
1928.  it  has  grown  to  a  membership  of  385.000  prospective  young  farmers. 
The  primary  objective  of  FFA  is  to  help  and  encourage  its  members 
to  prepare  for  careers  in  farming.  It  also  trains  for  leadership,  citizenship, 
scholarship,  cooperation,  thrift  and  patriotism.  The  Future  Farmers  motto  is: 

"Learning  to  do. 

Doing  to  learn; 

Earning  to  live. 

Living  to  serve." 


In  the  make-up  of  Volume  Five,  only  one  long  article  was  taken  from 
the  fourth  Atwater  History.  This  concerned  Captain  Atwater.  However,  it 
did  not  include  his  many  gifts  for  the  advancement  of  educational  facilities 
and  objectives. 

During  his  entire  life  he  has  had  a  keen  interest  in  education  of  the 
youth  of  his  community.  For  many  years  he  served  as  member  and  chairman 
of  the  Board  of  Trustees  of  R.  E.  Lee  Institute,  as  did  his  father  before  him.

On  February  14,  1917,  he  married  Anne  Elizabeth  Walton,  daughter  of 
Peter  W.  and  Susan  Reid  Walton,  of  Madison,  Georgia.  His  wife  comes  from 
a  family  distinguished  for  generations,  and  is  a  direct  descendant  of  George 
Walton,  a  signer  cf  the  Declaration  of  Independence.  They  have  cne  daugh- 
ter. Richmond  Wakon.  born  August  24,  1921.  Recently,  he  and  his  wife, 
in  memory  cf  her  parents,  have  given  to  the  North  Georgia  Methodist 
Conference  a  new  home  in  Madison,  Georgia,  for  the  use  cf  retired  Methodist 
ministers. 

Captain  Atwater  is  past  master  of  the  local  ledge  of  the  Woodmen  of 
the  World.  He  served  as  mayor  of  Thomaston  for  12  years  and  is  a  former 
state  senator.  He  has  lived  the  tradition  of  his  father  and  grandfather  and  is 
fortunate  in  now  being  able  to  iiistill  their  tradition  of  life  in  his  grandsons. 

When  Captain  Atwater  first  heard  of  our  project  for  a  new  Atwater 
History,  his  willingness  to  co-cperate  was  immediately  forthcoming.  He  not 
only  brought  his  own  branch  data  up-to-date  quickly,  but  sent  representatives, 
at  his  own  expense,  far  and  afield,  to  secure  collaboration  from  other  members 
of  the  Clan.  It  is  evident  that  when  Captain  Atwater  gives  himself  to  a 
project,  he  does  not  falter  by  the  wayside  because  the  path  is  long  and  filled 
with  unexpected   obstacles. 

The  following  clipping  from  'The  Free  Press'  July  26,  1955,  also  shows 
his  desire  to  continually  support  those  objectives  worthv  of  expansion. 

"A  recent  $8400  gift  of  land  to  the  James  R.  Atwater  School  has  been 
made  public  by  the  principal.  E.  W.  Foy. 

Captain  James  R.  Atwater,  who  has  made  several  other  contributions  to 
the  school  in  the  Atwater  ccmmunity.  recently  presented  the  school  with  28 
acres  of  land  adjoining  the  present  property.  The  gift  was  valued  at  S8400. 

"In  completing  the  seventh  vear  of  operation  the  James  R.  Atwater 
School  is  happy  to  announce  expansion  in  many  lines,"  Mr.  Foy  said.  '"A 
recent  gift  of  land  suggests  the  progress  for  which  the  schocl's  friends  are 
constantly  planning. 

"Foreseeing  larger  enrollment,  more  buildings  and  widening  activities. 
Captain  James  R.  Atwater  some  weeks  ago  presented  the  school  28  acres  of 
land.  This  includes  some  welcome  shade  trees.  Our  students  have  already 
been  fortunate  in  having  large  space  as  compared  with  those  in  many  places." 
Mr.  Foy  pointed  out  continuing,  "the  addition  represents  an  expenditure  of 
around  $8400  and  is  greatly  appreciated." 

Mr.  Foy  also  discussed  that  "as  evidence  of  Captain  Atwater's  interest 
in  the  students  as  individuals  was  his  gift  of  a  five  dollar  bill  attached  to 
the  diplomas  of  all  fortv-three  ninth  grade  graduates." 


The  Clan  salutes  a  Southern  gentleman  who  is  a  worthv  descendant  of 
our  hardy  ancestors.

famous  Chicago  Athletic  Association.  He  often  reminisced  of  the  friendships 
formed  there  with  other  young  men  who  were  on  their  way  to  fame  in  various 
fields  of  endeavor.  Among  the  best  known  were  the  distinguished  Hoosier 
writer,  George  Ade,  and  John  T.  McCutcheon,  the  renowned  political 
cartoonist. 

Mr.  Atwater  and  Miss  Cox  were  married  on  April  25,  1900,  and  made 
their  first  home  in  Chicago. 

An  important  step  in  Mr.  Atwater's  business  career  came  when  he 
entered  the  chewing  gum  manufacturing  business,  embarking  upon  an  asso- 
ciation that  was  to  continue  for  nearly  half  a  century.  The  Wm.  Wrigley  Jr. 
Company  of  Chicago  was  on  the  threshold  of  expansion  from  a  small,  strug- 
gling business  into  a  world-famous  organization,  and  in  1907,  Mr.  Atwater 
was  appointed  by  the  late  William  Wrigley  Jr.  to  head  the  sales  activities  of 
the  company  in  the  Eastern  territory  as  manager  of  the  New  York  office. 
Working  closely  with  Mr.  Wrigley,  he  was  prominently  identified  with  the 
sales  program  that  led  to  the  successful  introduction  of  Wrigley's  Spearmint 
chewing  gum  in  the  East. 

For  the  next  twenty-five  years,  Mr.  Atwater's  business  and  social  life 
centered  in  the  East,  and  he  and  Mrs.  Atwater  established  a  home  for  their 
growing  family  in  Garden  City,  on  Long  Island.  Garden  City  was  then  in 
its  infancy  as  a  residential  suburb  of  New  York  City,  and  Mr.  Atwater  took 
an  active  interest  in  civic  affairs  and  in  encouraging  the  growth  and  develop- 
ment of  the  newer  section  of  the  community.  He  was  prominent  in  the 
activities  of  the  Episcopal  Church,  and  was  a  Mason  for  many  years,  affiliated 
with  Nassau  Commandery  No.  73,  of  Garden  City. 

A  noteworthy  event  in  Mr.  Atwater's  business  career  occurred  in  1916, 
when  he  was  elected  second  vice-president  of  the  Wrigley  Company.  A  year 
later,  he  was  elected  to  the  board  of  directors  of  the  corporation.  In  1920 
he  was  elected  to  the  position  of  vice-president.  During  these  years  he 
continued  to  head  the  company's  sales  activities  in  the  Eastern  part  of  the 
United  States,  developing  distribution  outlets  for  the  fast-growing  Wrigley 
business.  In  addition  to  his  activities  in  the  sales  end  of  the  business  he  was 
instrumental  in  establishing  an  Eastern  factory  for  the  company  in  Brooklyn. 
He  traveled  extensively  in  Central  and  South  America,  establishing  sales 
agencies  for  the  handling  of  Wrigley  products  in  those  countries.  He  also 
traveled  to  Europe  on  inspection  trips  for  the  Wrigley  Company.  He  was  an 
early  enthusiast  for  air  transportation  in  his  wide-ranging  travels,  and  made 
one  of  the  first  trips  on  a  commercial  air  line  in  South  America  in   1927. 

During  his  years  in  the  East,  Mr.  Atwater  served  on  the  directorates 
of  two  banking  institutions.  Dime  Savings  Bank,  of  Brooklyn,  and  Hudson 
Trust  Company  (now  Empire  Trust  Company)  of  New  York  City.  He  was 
a  member  of  the  Metropolitan  and  Lotos  clubs  of  New  York. 

In  1932,  following  the  death  of  William  Wrigley  Jr.,  at  that  time 
chairman  of  the  board  of  the  company,  Mr.  Atwater  transferred  from  New

East  Hampton,  Torrington,  and  Kent,  all  in  Connecticut,  in  Red  Bluff, 
California  and  Havana,  Cuba.  He  was  a  printer  and  publisher  primarily, 
but  he  was  involved  in  at  least  two  street  railway  companies  and  was  connected 
officially  with  at  least  seven  banks,  all  in  Connecticut.  He  was  a  member  in 
1906  of  the  Connecticut  State  Senate  and  was  a  member  of  the  Executive 
Committee  of  the  American  National  Red  Cross.  In  1912  he  was  a  founder 
and  president  of  the  Clara  Barton  Memorial  Association. 

His  publications  included  the  histories  of  Plymouth  and  Kent.  Conn., 
1896;  four  volumes  of  Atwater  History  and  Genealogy.  (1901,  1906,  1919, 
and  1927).  He  published  the  Meriden  Centennial  Proceedings  in  1907,  his 
Personal  Memoirs  in  1924  and  the  History  of  Southington  in  1925. 

Members  of  the  Atwater  clan  can  be  grateful  for  Francis'  vocation  as 
well  as  for  his  avocation.  He  had  a  persistent  interest  in  the  records  of  the 
family  and  his  contributions  extending  over  at  least  twenty-five  years  took 
full  advantage  of  the  earlier  researches  and  publications  of  Rev.  Edward  E. 
Atwater  (1816-1887)  and  Robert  Henry  Atwater  (1834-1889)  who  had 
made  excellent  studies  of  the  family  in  the  United  States  and  of  the  origins 
in  England.  It  required  time  and  effort  and  money  to  do  what  Francis  did

K.  Polk,  president  of  the  United  States.  This  land  has  been  in  the 
name  ever  since,  being  the  old  homestead  where  ( Buz  I  Sheldon 
now  lives. 

There  were  twelve  children  born  to  this  pioneer  couple.  My 
Mrs.  Emma  Louisa  Atwater  Rountree  is  the  only  one  living  of  the 
family. 

Grandfather  Atwater  was  one  of  the  few  men  among  the  early 
who  had  an  education  and  many  came  to  him  for  business  advice.

the  old  papers  mother  has,  are  several  contracts  he  wrote  out.  then  they  would 
make  their  X  mark  and  grandpa  signed  their  name  in  the  presence  of  two 
other  men  who  could  write  which  would  make  it  legal.  There  was  no  court 
house  here  at  Havana,  no  Mason  county.  This  part  of  the  country  was  in 
Fulton  county.  There  was  no  bridge  across  the  Illinois  River,  therefore 
it  was  a  hazardous  trip  through  the  bottoms  to  Lewistown  to  transact  legal 
business. 

I  have  heard  grandma  tell,  they  raised  the  sheep,  she  helped  shear  the 
wool,  take  it  to  the  woolen  mills  in  Fulton  county  herself  and  have  it 
carded.  Then  she  spun  the  yarn,  knit  all  the  socks  and  stockings  for  the 
family.  She  spun  the  thread  for  weaving  the  cloth,  dyed  the  cloth  for  the 
outer  garments,  using  walnut  hulls  for  dye.  and  set  the  color,  using  chamber 
lye  so  it  would  not  fade.

54  ATWATER  GENEALOGY 

An  Unusual  Occupation 

My  son,  Montgomery  Meigs  Atwater,  is  an  "avalanche-buster"  for  the 
U.S.  Forest  Service.  He  makes  his  headquarters  at  Alta,  Utah,  the  famous 
ski-resort  near  Salt  Lake  City,  Utah.  At  first  he  was  not  only  on  avanche- 
buster  but  the  avalanche-buster.  Now  there  are  others — most  of  them  snow- 
rangers  who  have  attended  the  avalanche  school  held  everv  vear  at  Alta. 


Avalanches  have  always  been  one  of  the  major  hazards  of  the  world's 
high  places,  and  for  many  years  snow-studies  have  been  carried  on  in  Switz- 
erland and  in  Austria  in  the  hope  of  learning  to  predict  these  violences  of 
Nature,  and  to  find  some  method  of  controlling  them.  But  in  the  United 
States,  'til  1948  when  the  Alta  project  was  set  up,  nothing  of  the  kind  was 
attempted.  Avalanches  appear  to  have  been  regarded  as  "acts  of  God,"  like

56  ATWATER  GENEALOGY 

the  site  of  an  abandoned  silver  mine  of  the  old  days  and  during  the  time 
of  the  mining  activity  many  men  were  caught  and  killed  by  the  avalanches. 
That  the  modern  methods  of  snow  control  are  effective  is  proved  by  the  fact 
that  since  1948  when  the  snow  station  was  set  up  at  Alta  there  has  not  been 
a  single  fatality  there,  though  thousands  of  skiiers  are  on  the  slopes  every 
fine  week-end  during  the  winter. 

My  son's  activities  are  not  confined  to  Alta.  He  inspects  ski  projects  all 
through  the  western  mountains  and  plans  safety  measures  and  recommends 
safety  procedure.  He  is  called  on  in  snow  emergencies — as  when  last  winter 
an  army  plane  crashed  near  the  top  of  one  of  the  highest  and  most  rugged 
peaks  of  the  Wasatch  Range.  The  accident  happened  at  the  height  of  the 
avalanche  season  and  the  region  is  one  of  the  most  inaccessible  in  Utah. 
Monty  Atwater  was  detailed  to  lead  the  rescue  party  and  to  find  as  safe  a 
route  as  possible  up  the  mountain.  It  was  an  affair  of  four  very  anxious 
days.  When  the  rescuers  reached  the  wreck  they  found  all  the  men  aboard 
the  plane  dead,  but  they  were  able  to  retrieve  some  important  government 
papers,  and  all  the  party  got  down  again  alive  and  uninjured. 

When  the  first  coast-to-coast  television  set-up  was  being  made — under 
pressure,  so  that  the  country  might  view  the  Peace  Congress  in  San  Francisco 
— the  construction  of  a  vital  relay  station  on  top  of  a  mountain  in  Nevada 
was  halted  when  avalanches  swept  the  only  road  over  which  supplies  had  to 
be  taken  to  the  site.  My  son  was  called  upon  lor  help  in  the  emergency.  There 
proved  to  be  no  possible  way  to  make  the  road  practicable.  In  fact  the  only 
safe  route  lay  straight  up  the  mountain  along  a  narrow  ridge — too  narrow 
and  too  steep  for  a  road — with  the  avalanches  running  harmlessly  down  either 
side.  A  crane  was  set  up  and  the  supplies  were  hauled  up  over  this  narrow 
trail  on  sledges  and  the  day  was  saved.  As  a  result  a  great  many  people 
enjoyed  a  memorable  experience  that  they  owed — though  they  did  not  know 
it — to  the  knowledge  and  ingenuity  of  the  avalanche-buster. 

Avalanche-busting  is  an  exciting  and  strenuous  job — and  not  without  its 
hazards — but  those  who  travel  the  mountain  highways  in  winter,  and  those 
who  take  their  sport  on  the  snow-slopes,  owe  their  safety  and  perhaps  their 
lives,  to  the  man  with  the  unusual  occupation.

HOLLYWOOD.  Calif..  March  4.  1949  — A.  Atwater  Kent,  inventor, 
industrialist  and  philanthropist,  died  this  morning.  He  was  75  years  old. 

Mr.  Kent's  marriage  to  Mabel  Lucas,  which  took  place  in  1906,  ended 
in  divorce. 

Byword  to  Early  Motorists 

After  pioneering  in  the  automobile  and  radio  fields.  Arthur  Atwater 
Kent  retired  a  wealthy  man.  His  name  was  a  byword  with  early  motorists, 
particularly  in  connection  with  his  ignition,  starting  and  lighting  system.  In 
the  Twenties  and  Thirties.  Atwater  Kent  and  radio  were  closely  linked. 

The  first  Atwater  Kent  radio  set.  a  five-tube  affair,  was  put  out  in  1923. 
Three  years  later  the  millionth  set  was  turned  out. 

He  introduced  many  musical  celebrities  to  radio  broadcasting,  engaging 
for  the  Sunday  night  Atwater  Kent  hour  over  a  network  of  stations  the 
highest  priced  grand  opera  and  concert  performers.  He  created  the  Atwater 
Kent  Foundation  to  conduct  nation-wide  auditions  to  discover  unknown 
talent.  The  winners  received  liberal  money  prizes  and  courses  of  study  in  the 
leading  musical  schools. 

Born  in  Burlington,  Vt.,  he  was  the  son  of  the  late  Dr.  and  Mrs.  Prentiss 
J.  Kent.  (Editor's  Note:  Elizabeth  M.  daughter  of  Ambrose  Atwater.  I 

He  entered  the  automotive  industry  by  designing  a  pocket-size  electric 
meter  to  test  dry-cell  batteries  then  used  in  automobile  ignitions.  In  1902  he 
established  the  Atwater  Kent  Manufacturing  Works  in  Philadelphia  in  make 
telephones  and  small  voltmeters. 

Designed  Ignition  System 

Three  years  later  he  began  making  his  revolutionary  ignition  system 
which  made  a  single  quick  hot  spark  instead  of  the  ordinary  stream  of  sparks. 
It  was  used  in  a  dozen  makes  of  automobiles. 

Mr.  Kent  converted  his  plant  to  war  manufacture  during  the  first  World 
War.  After  the  war  he  continued  manufacturing  ignitions  and  starting  and

The  Calorimeter 

Today  there  are  several  million  people  who  know  the  Calory  by  its  first 
name.  In  thousands  of  homes  the  housekeeper  has  been  trained  through  her 
favorite  magazine — whether  Ladies'  Home  Journal.  Good  Housekeeping, 
Modern  Priscilla.  or  The  Farmers  Wife — to  measure  food  value  by  calories 
rather  than  price. 

In  the  early  70  s  a  man  only  a  few  years  out  of  Wesleyan  returned 
from  studying  two  years  in  German  universities  to  become  professor  of 
chemistry  at  the  college  where  less  than  a  decade  before  he  had  been 
graduated.  Abroad  lie  had  become  actively  interested  in  the  then  new  science 
of  agricultural  chemistry.  This  subject  he  began  to  follow  by  researches  in 
the  chemical  laboratorv  at  Wesleyan. 

To  those  not  familiar  with  Wesleyan  it  may  seem  somewhat  unusual 
that  a  "college  for  culture"  should  lend  its  facilities  for  experimental  work 
in  agricultural  chemistry,  but  a  knowledge  of  the  history  of  Wesleyan  shows 
innumerable  instances  of  equal  liberal-mindedness  on  the  part  of  its  trustees. 
One  of  Prefessor  Atwater's  chief  associates,  later  on  Professor  F.  G. 
Benedict,  for  some  years  now  director  of  the  nutrition  laboratory  of  the 
Carnegie  Institution,  commenting  on  the  atmosphere  of  Wesleyan,  has  said, 
"Whatever  measure  of  success  has  accompanied  my  efforts,  I  feel  certain 
that  a  large  share  of  this  was  due  to  the  active  spirit  of  scientific  research 
and  encouragement  to  young  men  which  is  prevalent  at  Wesleyan." 


A'nVATER  GEINEIALOGY  61 

Professor    Atwaters   early    w<  :•  agricultural    cheniistnk"    developed 

from  the  cheniistrv  of  the  growing  piant  to  the  chemistry  of  the  soil  and 
fertilizers,  to  the  feeding  of  domestic  animals,  and  ultimately  to  the  feeding 
of  man.  which  was  his  last  and  all-absorbing  interest. 

W  here\er  there  has  been  research  of  as  high  an  order  as  Professsor 
Atwater  and  his  associates  undertook,  adequate  conditions  almost  invariably 
surrounded  the  work.  It  js  hardly  possible  to  conceive  work  of  such  magnitude 
as  developed  through  Professor  Atwater's  work  at  W-e^leyan  being  conducted 
with  the  facilities  at  his  disposal,  but  with  what  he  had  Professor  Atwater 
laid  the  foundation  upon  which  has  been  built  two  super-structures  which 
will  last  for  many  decades,  if  not  forever. 

Single-handed,  he  worked  out  a  svstem  of  investigation  in  asricultural 
chemistrv  and  subsequentlv  in  the  nutrition  of  man  that,  taken  up  by  the 
government,  formed  the  basis  of  the  establishment  of  the  broad  series  of 
agricultural  experiment  stations  that  now  exist.  In  1873.  with  a  grant  of 
sl.(^(KI  from  one  Weslevan's  Alumni,  and  permission  from  the  Trustees  to  use 
the  laboratorv.  the  first  agricultural  experiment  station  in  the  I  nited  States 
was  established,  and  Professor  Atwater  was  made  the  director. 

As  the  movement  spread  rapidlv  there  was  soon  needed  a  central  clearing 
house  for  the  scientific  work  of  the  stations.  This  work  coming  logically  under 
the  head  of  the  Department  of  Agriculture.  Professor  Atwater  was  chosen 
b\  this  department  as  the  first  Director  of  its  experiment  stations. 

Soon  after  this,  from  the  study  of  animal   feeding.   Professor    Atwater 

was  directing  his  energies  to  chemical  and  statistical  researches  on  the  fo«>d 

and  nutrition  of  man.  He  had  early  realized  the  importance  of  a  sixial  and 

economic  study  of  the  relations  of  food  and  diet  to  the  labor.  jH>wer.  health 

and  moral  tone  of  communities,  and  it  was  from  this  scientific  studies  »>f 

dietaries,  begun  in  a  small  wav.  that  the  investigation  develoi>ed  into  a  large 

investigation  of  the  dietetic  conditi<in  obtaining  in  \arious  parts  of  the  country. 

Through   the   work   of   this  college   professor,   working   with    in«Teasine 

ei|uipinent.  special  appropriations  were  secured  frt>m  Congress  to  stud\    the 

nutrition    of    man.    and    the    whole    enterprise    soon    InHauje    an    extensi\e 

co-operative  slud\   of  food  and  diet  extending  lileralK    from  coast  to  roast. 

\^  hile  Professor  Atwater's  work  in  these  directions  had  atlracltnl  much 

attention  from  phvsit>U»gists  and  economists,  the  \enture  that  phu^il  him  in 

the    foreino<;t    rank    of    the    abstract    scientists    as    such    was    his    effort    to 

denionstrate    the    fundamental    law-^    in    nutrition,    and    thus    platv    U|>on    a 

scientific    basis    what    lia.l    liillirrto    lu-cn    Knpiricisn)    in    liietetics.    For    thi> 

purpose  he  succeeded  in  interesting  the  government  and  indiNiduals.  as  well 

as  other  institutions,  in   raising  a  large  sum  of  nione\    for  the  c«>nstruction 

of  a    respiration   calorimeter,    without    the    remotest    e\|HMtalion    ..f   Mvuring 

results  of  inunediate  practical  \alue.  The  whole  enterprix-  was  IkwhI  uim.u  the 

higher  plane  of  abstract  st  ieiilific  research-  a  !*earch  for  truth. 


62  ATWATER  GENEALOGY 

The  work  done  with  the  respiration  calorimeter  attracted  early  attention 
from  many  scientific  authorities.  A  number  of  grants  at  various  times  were 
made  by  the  Carnegie  Institution  at  Washington.  All  this  money  was  devoted 
to  abstract  scientific  research  with  the  respiration  calorimeter  devised  and 
constructed  in  the  basement  of  Judd  Hall,  the  chemical  laboratory  at  Wesleyan 
University.  The  work  done  here  was  so  important  that  the  Carnegie  Institution 
carried  it  on  from  here  to  a  building  specially  designed  for  the  purpose, 
located  in  a  larger  city  near  medical  schools  and  hospitals. 

The  present  laboratory  is  the  admiration  of  all  foreign  physiologists  as 
well  as  American,  but  as  the  director  has  said,  this  building  would  not  exist 
had  it  not  been  for  the  encouragement  of  the  Board  of  Trustees  of  Wesleyan 
University  and  the  energy  of  Professor  Atwater  in  founding  this  fundamental 
research  with  the  respiration  calorimeter. 

At  this  point  it  might  be  interesting  to  quote  from  a  Wesleyan  University 
Bulletin,  No.  18,  dated  May,  1896,  a  paragraph  about  a  Respiration  Calori- 
meter's work,  with  its  particularly  modest  and  significant  last  sentence: 

"Research  upon  nutrition  has  reached  the  point  where  the  study  of  the 
application  of  the  laws  of  the  conservation  of  matter  and  of  energy  in  the 
living  organism  are  essential.  This  is  to  say,  we  must  be  able  to  determine 
the  balance  of  income  and  outgo  of  the  body,  and  this  balance  must  be 
expressed  in  terms,  both  of  matter  and  of  energy.  For  this  purpose  a 
respiration  calorimeter  is  being  elaborated  here.  This  is  an  apparatus  in 
which  an  animal  or  a  man  may  be  placed  for  a  number  of  hours  or  days, 
and  the  amounts  and  composition  of  the  excreta,  solid,  liquid  and  gaseous; 
the  ])otential  energy  of  the  materials  taken  into  the  body  and  given  off  from 
it;  the  quantity  of  heat  radiated  from  the  body:  and  the  heat  equivalent  of  the 
muscular  work  done,  are  all  to   be  measured. 

"During  the  past  two  years  the  enterprise  has  had  the  support  of  the 
U.S.  Department  of  Agriculture  which  had  made  this  inquiry  a  part  of  its 
food  investigations.  As  is  often  the  case  in  such  inquiries  it  has  been  thought 
wise  to  say  very  little  until  definite  results  should  be  ready  for  publication.^' 

Comment  or  philosophizing  on  the  work  of  the  man  who  did  so  much 
for  human  welfare  is  unnecessary.  Quoting  from  another  Wesleyan  University 
Bulletin  of  December.  1907,  here  is  an  account  of  his  life  in  one  paragraph: 

"Wilbur  Olin  Atwater  was  born  in  Johnsburg.  Warren  county,  New 
York,  on  May  3,  1844,  but  much  of  his  early  life  was  spent  in  Vermont.  After 
three  years  at  the  University  of  Vermont,  he  entered  Wesleyan  University 
as  a  senior  and  was  graduated  with  the  degree  of  bachelor  of  arts  in  1865. 
He  served  in  successive  years  as  principal  of  schools  in  Colchester.  Vermont; 
Spencer,  Massachusetts;  and  Westport,  New  York.  After  a  year  as  a  student 
in  the  Sheffield  Scientific  School,  Yale  University,  he  received  the  degree 
of  doctor  of  philosophy  in  1869.  and  then  spent  two  years  in  foreign  travel 
and  study,  paying  special  attention  to  agricultural  chemistry.  In  1873  he

Luther  E.  Atwater,  Sr. 

(No.  2977) 

Final  rites  for  Luther  E.  Atwater,  Sr.,  (No.  2977)  November  3,  1954 
held  at  11  o'clock  at  Front  Street  Methodist  Church  here,  with  burial  in  Pine 
Hill  Cemetery. 

Mr.  Atwater.  76  years  of  age.  was  a  resident  of  903  West  Davis  Street. 

Looked  to  as  one  of  the  pioneer  automobile  dealers  in  North  Carolina, 
he  founded  Burlington  Auto  Company  here  in  1912.  Sometime  ago  he  was 
recognized  not  only  as  one  of  the  first  automobile  dealers  in  Burlington  but 
the  sixth  oldest  Ford  dealers  in  the  two  Carolinas  and  the  146th  oldest 
dealer  in  the  LInited  States. 

He  was  a  native  of  Orange  County,  son  of  John  Fletcher  and  Mrs.  Julia 
Bynuni  Atwater.  He  was  a  resident  of  Burlington  for  more  than  55  years 
of  his  life. 

When  the  automobile  industry  started  moving  nation-wide,  however.  Mr. 
Atwater  began  studying  the  field  and,  in  turn,  founded  his  own  organization, 
the  Burlington  Auto  Company,  that  has  remained  in  the  family  since  that  time. 

Mr.  Atwater  was  a  member  of  the  Front  Street  Church  and  was  one  of 
the  first  teachers  of  its  Baraca  Class.  Dr.  W.  L.  Clegg,  pastor  of  the  church, 
officiated. 

Survivors  include  his  wife.  Mrs.  Manie  Garrison  Atwater.  of  the  home: 
two  daughters,  Mrs.  C.  H.  Keels  of  McColl.  S.  C,  and  Mrs.  Joe  Pell.  Jr..  of 
Pilot  Mountain;  four  sons.  J.  Wilson  and  Robert  N.  Atwater,  both  of  Burling- 
ton; Luther  E.,  Jr.,  of  Columbia.  S.  C.  and  Dr.  Frank  G.  Atwater  of  Greens- 
boro; one  sister.  Mrs.  W.  A.  Maynard.  Sr.,  of  Burlington;  11  grandchildren 
and  one  great  grandchild. 

Robert  N.  Atwater  founds  new  authorized  Ford  dealer  for  Burlington, 
N.  C.  Atwater  Motor  Company. 

The  new  automobile  dealership  has  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Luther  E.  Atwater.  Jr., 
of  Columbia,  S.  C,  as  president  and  vice-president,  and  Mrs.  Robert  N. 
Atwater  as  vice-president.  Robert  N.  Atwater,  the  only  officer  who  will  be 
active  in  the  operation  of  the  company,  will  serve  as  secretary-treasurer  and 
general  manager. 

Son  of  Luther  E.,  Sr.,  the  city's  first  Ford  dealer,  and  Mrs.  Atwater,  he 
was  with  Burlington  Auto  Company  from  1936  until  he  resigned  December  18. 

A  graduate  of  Burlington  High  School  and  of  Davidson  College  with 
the  class  of  1936.  he  spent  four  years  with  the  Army  during  World  War  H, 
serving  both  in  the  European  and  Pacific  Theatres  of  operations.  He  was 
released  as  a  captain. 

He  is  a  steward  in  the  Front  Street  Methodist  Church,  is  a  member  and 
former  president  of  the  Alamance  County  New  Car  Dealers  Association,  and 
a  member  of  the  Rotary  and  America  Business  Clubs;  chairman  N.  A.  Dealers

66  ATWATER  GENEALOGY 

My  grandfather.  John  Wesley  Atwater,  was  a  local  preacher  in  the 
Methodist  Church.  He  had  a  large  farm  so  served  several  poor  churches 
around  him  for  twenty-five  years  but  charged  them  no  salary  for  his  services. 
He  told  me  just  before  he  died  that  he  had  never  failed  to  have  a  sermon 
ready  when  called  upon.  He  and  his  wife  went  one  Sunday  morning  to  visit 
a  married  daughter  in  an  adjoining  county.  On  the  way  he  was  impressed 
with  the  need  to  prepare  a  sermon.  He  asked  his  wife  to  drive  the  horse  while 
he  got  out  his  Bible  and  prepared  his  text,  not  knowing  when  nor  where  he 
would  preach  from  it.  When  he  reached  his  daughter's  home  they  were  ready 
to  go  to  church.  He  said  he  had  always  wanted  to  hear  the  pastor  of  their 
church,  so  while  grandmother  and  Aunt  Delia  stayed  at  home  to  prepare 
dinner,  he  went  to  church  with  Uncle  Will. 

He  was  a  tall,  slender  man  and  he  sat  down  in  the  back  of  the  church 
hoping  the  preacher  would  not  see  him.  But  the  preacher  saw  him  anyway 
and  soon  after  the  service  began,  asked  him  to  come  up  into  the  pulpit  and 
preach.  Grandfather  knew  then  that  was  why  God  had  told  him  to  prepare 
his  sermon. 

Of  his  nine  children,  only  the  youngest  son.  John  Patterson  Atwater 
(No.  2992).  Thomaston.  Ga..  is  living.  He  is  an  old  bachelor  80  years  old. 
I  am  the  oldest  living  grandchild  of  John  Wesley  Atwater.  I  am  71  years 
of  age. 

I  remember  my  great-grandfather.  Edmund  Browder  Atwater.  quite 
well.  Georgia  was  just  being  settled  when  he  moved  there  from  North  Carolina 
and  settled  in  I  pson  Co..  Ga.  He  built  a  log  cabin  with  one  room.  For  furni- 
ture he  bored  an  auger  hole  in  a  log  at  one  end  another  on  the  side  of  the 
house  and  inserted  the  end  of  a  pole  in  each.  He  cut  a  post  leaving  two 
crotches  where  limbs  were  cut  off  and  drove  it  into  the  dirt  floor  of  the  cabin 
and  laid  the  other  ends  of  his  poles  in  the  crotches  to  make  the  frame  of 
his  bed.  The  slats  were  poles  nicely  skinned  of  bark  with  one  end  stuck 
between  logs  in  the  wall  and  the  other  laid  on  the  pole  making  the  side  railing 
of  the  bed.  On  these  he  laid  his  straw-filled  mattress.  His  table  and  chairs 
were  blocks  sawed  from  trees  with  legs  fitted  into  auger  holes.  Of  course, 
they  cooked  on  the  fireplace. 

He  acquired  a  good  bit  of  land  and  after  many  years,  was  a  man  of 
wealth.  There  were  no  banks  except  in  large  towns  so  he  loaned  his  money 
and  was  called  a  banker. 

He  was  a  grand  old  man.  loved  by  everybody,  and  was  a  good  christian. 
One  day  at  his  church  the  members  had  been  telling  of  God's  goodness  and 
all  were  feeling  good  and  happy.  As  they  got  up  from  their  knees  after  a 
prayer  one  of  the  men  started  singing  "not  a  foot  of  land  do  I  posses,  no 
cottage  in  the  wilderness."  Grandfather  began  fishing  in  his  pockets  and 
hurried  across  the  church  and  thrust  a  paper  into  the  man's  hand.  "Here, 
brother,  here  take  this.  You  have  got  some  land." 

It  seems  that  the  man  had  mortgaged  his  home  to  grandfather  for  some 
money  and  was  failing  to  make  payment.  Grandfather  felt  so  happy  over 
God's  goodness  to  him  that  he  gave  the  man  his  mortgage. 

With  best  wishes, 

— Mrs.  Addie  May  Fox  Malone

ATWATER  GENEALOGY 


Lenham,  Kent,  1953 

By  Richard  Atwater  Wolcott  ( 2059 1 

While  stationed  in  England  with  the  U.S.  Air  Force  in  1953,  1  had  the 
opportunity  of  visiting  Lenham  and  seeing  for  myself  the  vicinity  described 
in  Vol.  5  of  the  Atwater  Genealogy. 

With  due  credit  given  to  the  Air  Force  for  providing  my  trip  to  England. 
the  inspiration  for  my  visit  to  Lenham  came  from  my  Aunt,  Mrs.  Edgar  F. 
Atwater.  ( 1 1  It  was  she  who  familiarized  me  u  ith  the  Atwater  Genealogy, 
displaying  her  keen  interesl  and  background  on  the  subject. 

Lpon  receiving  passes  on  the  first  of  May.  Corporal  Duane  Curry,  an 
Air  Force  friend,  and  I  set  out  for  Lenham.  After  leaving  our  base  at  Lahen- 
heath  near  Newmarket,  a  prominent  racing  center,  we  went  first  to  London, 
and  changed  trains  for  the  several  hour  ride  to  Lenham.  It  was  a  pleasant 
day  and  we  enjoyed  the  sights  of  the  green  rolling  country — its  many  farms, 
orchards   and   connnunities.

ATWATER  GENEALOGY 


Upon  leaving  the  church,  we  hired  a  taxi  and  drove  over  the  rolling 
fields  to  Royton  Manor,  now  known  as  Chapel  Farm  because  a  chapel  is 
situated  on  the  premises. 

The  owner  invited  us  to  look  around  the  place,  but  failed  to  offer  his 
entire  house  for  our  observations.  The  house  is  situated  on  a  hill  and  at  the 
foot  of  the  hill  is  a  little  stream  which  is  the  source  of  the  River  Stour.  The 
farm  was  actively  cultivated  with  several  large  fields  of  wheat.  The  house  is 
large,  two  storied  stone,  solidly  built  and  in  good  condition.  While  inside 
we  marvelled  at  its  sturdy  construction  with  its  large  wooden  beams  forming 
the  superstructure.  One  of  the  rooms  that  the  owner  showed  us,  presumably 
the  game  room,  was  decorated  with  elaborate  woodcarvings.  We  learned 
that  at  one  time  there  was  more  carved  woodwork,  but  previous  owners 
had  removed  some. 

Since  we  didn't  want  to  impose  on  the  owner's  hospitality,  we  were 
satisfied  to  look  around  the  outside  and  to  take  pictures. 

After  thanking  him  for  the  visit,  we  returned  to  the  Rector's  house  and 
brought  our  visit  to  a  close  since  it  was  almost  time  for  the  train.  Thanking 
Miss  Strickland  for  her  time  and  effort,  we  said  goodbye  and  bade  farewell 
to  Lenham  and  a  very  pleasant  afternoon.

(Editor's  Note:  For  another  visit  to  Lenham,  Kent,  see  Vol.  4,  p.  25.  The 
most  interesting  item  of  Margaret  Ativater  Jones'  story  refers  to  the  old 
records  which  he  (the  vicar)  kept  at  the  vicarage  and  showed  me  the  inscrip- 
tions of  births,  baptisjns,  marriages,  and  deaths  (of  Attwaters) .  On  the  first

poured  from  me."

The 
Human  Tree 


A  man  ...  a  woman, 
hewn  from  the  selfsame  Tree; 


The  taller — his  head  always  straining  higher, 
he  places  his  trust  in  reasoned  Thought; 

Broader  of  reach — her  heart  ever  beating  faster, 
she  pins  her  faith  to  intuitive  Understanding; 


His  feet  are  rooted  in  soil;   the  earth  must  support  him; 
She  joins  him  at  their  core;  his  strength  must  sustain  her — 
He.  trunk  of  the  human  tree;  she,  branch,  bearing  flower  and  fruit; 
His.  the  vertical  expression — part  of  earth  itself,  upward-striving; 
Hers,  a  horizontal  influence — at  one  with  creation,  all  embracing; 


Cross-beams  of  an  ancient  crux-symbol  of  sex,  of  love  and  of  sacrifice, 
both  merge  toward  a  center  of  being — in  union,  neither  male  nor  female; 
yet  diverge  into  separate  entities — in  division,  a  man  and  a  woman; 
Without  her,  only  a  sterile  stump,  man  is  stripped  of  all  actual  significance; 
Without  him.  merely  a  barren  log.  woman  is  divested  of  any  real  meaning; 


Eons  back  in  eternity,  the  Tree  was  hewn   .  .  . 

Eons  forward  in  eternity.  Science  may  heal  the  wound 

and  these  "twain"  reunite  within  the  Original  Tree.  .  . 


Meanwhile,  a  man  and  a  woman — 
halves  of  an  integral  Whole, 
demand  completion — each,  in  its  counterpart; 
Biunial  spirit  seeks  Unity 
in  humanhood!

Vistas 

You  feel  it,  when 
your  train  roars  through  some  city  and  a  drab  review  of  shanties,  shacks  and 
shops  rush  by  .  .  .  then,  its  forefinger  pointing  high,  a  spire  dominates  the 
sky  with  magnet-power  which  instantly  transports  your  spirit  from  the  dull 
and  ugly,  to  the  beautiful  .  .  . 

and  feel  it.  then; 

You  sense  it.  when 
the  eye  perceives  beneath  fret-lace  of  locust  leaves,  supple,  sun-lit  interstices, 
wherein   beguiling  traceries  carve   on  the   copper   of  the   sky,   mazes   whose 
lovely  filigree  ensnares  your  spirit  in  a  spell  of  what  seems  certain  miracle  .  .  . 

and  sense  it,  then ; 

You  know  it.  when 
pausing  before  some  old  cathedral,  to  adore  those  martyrs,  prophets.  Saints- 
in-God,  whose  pious  faiths  patiently  plod   a   frieze   across   its  stone   facade, 
you  meet  an  all-compelling  prod  of  spirit  into  empathy  with  their   austere 
concepts  of  duty  .  .  . 

and  know  it,  then; 

This  surging  reach  toward  some  far  goal,  this  sudden  sally  of  the  soul, 
this  blending  of  identity  with  these  rare  aspects  of  beauty,  revealed  at  times 
exquisitely  in  Art,  Nature  and  Humanity  .  .  .  insights,  none  may  buy  or 
sell  .  .  .  vistas  of  Truth,  invaluable! 


Sappho 

In  deep  reflection,  freed  from  sex-coercion. 

By  preference,  chaste — a  sentient.  Grecian 

One  wooed  silence,  where  mind  and  Muse  might  heart  it; 

Priestess  of  Beauty 

Whose  genius  was  Spirit; 

The  other,  a  wanton,  whose  unleashed  desires 
Goaded  her  flesh  until  sensual  shoddy 
Flaring  in  lusts  of  elementary  fires 

Blazed  to  Lesbian 

Beguilements  of  body; 

Sharing  one  temple — a  vestal,  a  harlot; 
As  pagan,  as  poet,  playing  the  same  lyre; 
Robed  now,  in  tortured  restlessness  of  scarlet, 

Then,  clad  in  quiet 

Whiteness  of  calmed  attire,

COMMENTARY  AND  ACKNOWLEDGMENTS 

How  is  your  I.Q.  on  the  history  of  your  ancestors?  Would  you  receive 
a  plus  or  a  minus,  in  an  examination  covering  this  most  interesting  subject — 
especially  to  a  descendant  of  David  Attwater? 

Since  I  undertook  this  "labor  of  love" — despite  adverse  predictions  by 
family  members — many  erroneous  stories  have  been  called  to  my  attention. 
Naturally,  the  ones  concerning  the  "strange"  spelling  of  my  own  name  in- 
trigued me  more  than  all  others.  With  over  one  hundred  inquiries,  about 
the  double  "t."  answers  were  necessary.  But  the  explanatory  Christmas  cards 
of  1954  did  not  stop  the  inquiries. 

One  reasonable  story — even  if  inaccurate  as  to  most  of  us  double  t's — 
claimed  the  change  in  spelling  was  incited  thru  Revolutionary  feuds  in  '76. 
The  Patriot  took  one  spelling — the  Tory  the  other.  A  similar  tale  had  the 
King  giving  a  grant  of  land  in  New  Haven  to  one  of  our  family  members, 
during  the  war,  who.  of  course,  was  a  Tory  and  with  the  same  ending. 
Undoubtedly,  there  were  members  of  our  family  on  the  wrong  side — accord- 
ing to  how  one  viewed  the  conflict. 

If  many  of  the  curious  who  wrote  me  had  ever  read  an  Atwater 
Genealogy,  they  could  have  answered  their  own  queries.  Members  who 
doubted  my  New  Haven  ancestry  because  of  spelling  and  present  California 
residence,  should  realize  that  David's  descendants  now  reside  in  every  state 
in  the  Union.  Of  course,  my  father.  Samuel  Hobart.  and  my  grandfather, 
Elisha,  were  both  born  in  New  Haven,  Conn.  I  was  less  fortunate — being 
born  in  New  York  City. 

All  members  and  especially  those  bearing  the  name  Atwater,  will  be 
interested  in  knowing  that  during  our  long  and  tedious  search  for  family 
members,  in  the  United  States  and  Canada,  we  found  only  two  families 
bearing  the  name  of  Atwater,  who  disclaimed  David  as  their  ancestor.  The 
following  letter  explains  one  case: 

"My  Dear  Mr.  Attwater:  My  husband  was  not  of  the  'David  Atwater 
Family  in  America.'  He  was  born  in  Tairstock.  Devon.  England,  on  13  May 
1888  and  died  in  'Chicago'  on  14  January  1949.  He  came  to  America,  with 
'Sir  Johnson  Forbes  Robertson'  in  1913,  as  company  manager.  On  our  fre- 
quent tours,  we  often  met  people  by  the  name  of  'Atwater.'  but  you  are  the 
first, — that  used  the  'Attwater.'  The  latter  is  used  in  England  and  the  extra 
T,  must  have  been  dropped  along  the  way  in  America. 

Sincerely,  Florence  Baird  Attwater."

80  ATWATER  GENEALOGY 

When  Lowell  Thomas  sent  me  a  note  about  "Monty."  I  immediately 
wrote  Mary  Meigs  Atwater.  his  mother.  The  picture  and  her  interesting  article 
will  be  found  in  the  Historical  Section. 

Jane  Atwater  Pratt  is  justly  proud  of  the  unusual  long  career  of  her 
renowned  grandfather. 

Richard  Atwater  Wolcott,  our  youngest  contributor,  did  his  stint  in  the 
U.S.  Air  Force. 

Hubert  F.  Atwater  was  not  only  close  to  Francis  but  also  had  the 
distinction  of  personal  contact  with  Clara  Barton. 

In  addition  to  those  mentioned  above,  the  author  wishes  to  thank  all 
members  sending  in  extra  genealogical  material.  Special  mention  should 
include  Capt.  James  R.  Atwater.  Cleo  Atwater  Crowl.  James  Bassett  Atwater, 
Ruth  Atwater  Sonderegger.  June  Franklin.  De  Witt  H.  Fessenden,  Henry  L. 
Atwater.  Nancy  Atwater  English,  Mrs.  Harry  Atwater  and  Mrs.  Helen  Wind, 
who  has  since  passed  away. 


In  the  volume  Francis  incorrectly  called  Volume  1.  Edward  Elias  also 
contributed  a  great  portion  of  the  new  history  and  genealogical  material.  And 
a  tribute  should  be  accorded  Robert  Henry  Atwater.  who.  after  painstaking 
research,  wrote  the  first  eighty-three  pages  of  so-called  Volume  1. 

In  this  vein,  we  feel  it  is  not  only  a  pleasure  but  a  duty  on  our  part,  to 
record  other  Atwater  Family  members  of  distinction.

(Editor's  Note:  As  a  young  man,  Elisha.  my  grandfather,  established  a 
large  business  as  a  ship-chandler.  His  quarters  occupied  an  entire  ware- 
house of  three  and  one-half  stories  and  basement  on  the  corner  of  Buriing 
Slip.  New  York  City.  Elisha  also  controlled  a  "Packet  Line"  between  New 
York  and  North  Florida.  His  interests  were  far-flung  throut  the  world — 
as  he  outfitted  ships  for  many  distant  lands.  Financing  many  of  these 
ventures  made  him  a  very  wealthy  man.  Before  he  was  forty  years  old. 
he  sold  out  and  retired. 

Later,  Elisha  acquired  large  properties  in  the  Bronx  and  finally  a 
very  beautiful  estate  at  Huntington,  L.  I.  I  hnvv  been  told  by  one  of  the 
chief  executives  of  the  Telephone  Company,  that  when  the  first  dial 
system  was  being  tested,  his  name  with  the  names  of  other  prominent 
old  families  of  New  York  was  picked  for  the  experimental  try-out  of 
the  new  system.  When  I  doubted  this  because  my  grandfather  always 
u.sed  three  "'fs'  the  executive  exclaimed:  "Well,  we  just  liroppod  one 
of  them." 

My  grandfather  was  not  a  teetotaler  neither  am  I.  However,  I  am 
convinced  his  record  would  be  as  clean  as  my  own  for  never  having 
imbibed  to  the  state  of  intoxication.  He  did  have  an  elaborate  wine  cellar 
at  Huntington.  This,  in  the  eyes  of  my  good  mother  bless  her  soul  was 
the  work  of  the  Devil. 

My  father.  Samuel  Hobart,  di«>d  five  months  before  I  was  born.  With- 
out havmg  had  the  opportunity  of  jilacing  my  innocent  childish  clutches 
in  tile  old  gentleiuan's  heart,  he  pas.scd  away  when  I  was  five,  leaving  me 
the  munificent   sum  of  one  dollar. 

A  high-hatted,  slick  lawyer,  by  the  name  of  Itork.  settled  with  the 
estate  for  sizable  sums,  over  a  foui"  year  peiiod.  without  my  innocent 
mothtr  being  aware  of  the  situation.  While  eventually.  I  had  newspaper 
notoriety,  when  a  judgment  was  .secured  against  the  lawyer  and  he  was 
sent  to  jail     not  even  the  dollar  ever  reached  me  or  my  mother. 

There  were  others  involved.  Besides,  I  don't  know  the  old  gentleman's 
side  of  the  triangle.  He  should  not  be  condemned  without  a  hearing. 
Despite  the  odious  memories  attached  to  my  paternal  side,  at  eight  years

2939.  Matthew,  son  of  Wilson;  m.  about  1846,  Emily  Snipes;  d.  July  14, 
1862;  (2)  July  9,  1865,  Martha  Snipes;  d.  June  19,  1887;  (3)  Mary  Smith,  d. 
Dec.  20,  1908.  He  d.  May  17,  1904.  He  lived  in  Orange  county,  N.  C..  near  the 
first  Atwater  settlement.  He  descended  from  an  ancestry  representing  the 
best  yeomanry  of  the  Old  North  State.  He  had  a  large  vigorous  body,  strong 
mind,  clear  thought  and  sound  judgment,  positive  conviction  and  unswerving 
determination.  His  even  balanced  temperament  avoided  extremes  in  thought, 
word  and  deed.  His  program  of  conduct  could  have  been  expressed  in  the 
motto,  "A  day's  work  in  a  day's  time."  His  well  balanced  gift  of  heart  and 
mind  made  him  a  leader  in  his  community.  As  county  commissioner,  as  state 
legislator,  and  teniperance  advocate,  school  official  and  church  worker,  he 
occupied  a  position  standing  unequivocally  for  what  he  thought  to  be  right 
and  for  the  public  welfare.  He  was  a  public  spirited  citizen.  Throughout  his 
long  life  he  exemplified  the  sterling  traits  of  character  represented  by  the 
worthy  reputation  of  the  Atwater  name.

April  11,  1916.  Thomaston,  Ga.  James  W.  d.  Dec.  24,  1913.  The  Thomaston 
Times  in  its  obituary  notice  said: 

The  deceased  was  eighty-seven  years  of  age,  and  is  survived  by  his  wife, 
Mrs.  Antoinette  Respess  Atwater;  one  son,  Capt.  James  R.  Atwater,  and  six 
daughters,  Mrs.  J.  Henry  Smith,  of  Griffin;  Mrs.  Fred  Farris,  of  Atlanta; 
Mrs.  George  R.  Turyin,  of  Macon;  Mrs.  William  P.  Leonard,  of  Talbotton; 
Mrs.  Roland  W.  Spain,  of  New  York  city,  and  Mrs.  A.  J.  King  of  Macon. 

Besides  being  one  of  the  oldest  and  wealthiest  of  Thomaston  citizens,  he 
was  one  of  the  most  prominent,  influential  and  highly  esteemed.  Not  only  did 
he  stand  high  in  the  affection  of  his  home  people  but  wherever  he  was  known 
men  respected  and  loved  him.  A  citizen  of  another  city  who  is  one  of  the  most 
prominent  men  in  the  state  and  who  was  a  business  associate  of  Captain 
Atwater's  said  of  him:  "Few  men  have  lived  to  better  purpose,  or  have  had 
higher  regard  of  their  friends  and  acquaintances  than  Mr.  Atwater." 

Captain  Atwater  was  a  man  of  strong  convictions  and  once  he  took  a 
stand  in  a  matter  he  was  almost  unshakable.  It  is  said  of  him  that  above  all 
things  he  despised  a  hypocrite  and  hated  all  manner  of  shams.  He  was  also  a 
man  who  loved  his  friends  and  would  stop  at  nothing  to  aid  them.  There  are 
many  who  owe  their  business  success  to  his  assistance  and  counsel. 

Captain  Atwater  served  through  the  Civil  War  with  distinction.  He  was 
noted  for  his  bravery  in  battle  and  his  efficiency  in  military  tactics,  being- 
made  captain  of  five  different  companies  to  perfect  their  organization.  Many 
of  his  comrades  who  are  still  living  gratefully  bear  testimony  to  his  valorous 
record. 

After  the  conflict  ended  he  was  active  in  the  politics  of  Upson  county 
serving  as  county  commissioner  for  twelve  years,  during  which  terms  of 
service  he  was  one  of  the  first  men  in  the  state  to  refuse  a  permit  for  a  cross 
road  saloon. 

Captain  Atwater  was  also  one  of  the  founders  of  the  R.  E.  Lee  Institute 
of  Thomaston,  and  for  twenty-three  years  acted  as  chairman  for  the  board  of 
trustees  for  that  well  known  institution. 

For  years  Captain  Atwater  was  a  leader  in  every  movement  looking  to 
the  upbuilding  and  betterment  of  his  town  and  county.

called  himself  his  pastor's  assistant  and  it  was  true.  He  was  far-seeing,  clear 
cut  in  his  processes  of  thought  and  of  a  philosophic  turn  of  mind.  One  writer 
said  of  him:  "I  have  always  regarded  Mr.  Atwater  as  one  of  the  most  genuine 
Christians  that  I  have  ever  known.  He  was  ripe  and  ready  for  the  garner. 
Doubtless  he  had  his  defects,  but  all  in  all,  I  have  known  very  few  men  who 
stood  out  and  above  the  multitude  as  distinctly  for  Christ  as  he  did.  The 
spiiitual  stream  of  his  life  ran  smooth  and  deep,  and  he  never  allowed  the 
straws  that  floated  upon  the  surface  to  disturb  the  serenity  of  its  depths."

the  North  Carolina  conference,  M.  E.  church  south.  He  d.  July  4,  1906.  She 
was  educated  in  Greensboro  Woman's  College,  Greensboro,  N.  C.  Throughout 
her  whole  life  there  was  an  earnest  desire  to  do  some  kind  of  mission  work. 
Discouraged  by  her  friends  on  account  of  her  delicate  health  the  idea  and 
ambition  still  clung  to  her.  She  felt  that  she  must  do  something  in  a  worth- 
while way,  as  she  walked  along  life's  road.  When,  without  any  effort  on  her 
part,  she  was  elected  as  first  matron  of  the  Methodist  OriJhanage  at  Raleigh,

gave  her  hand  in  marriage  to  Rev.  J.  W.  Jenkins,  founder  and  superintendent 
of  the  orphanage,  she  knew  that  this  was  her  life  work,  and  together  they 
worked  with  unceasing  labor  until,  from  a  feeble  beginning,  the  orphanage  had 
grown  into  proportions  that  promised  perpetuity.  Then  Mr.  Jenkins  la'd  down 
his  beautiful  life,  and  bound  more  closely  than  ever  to  the  product  of  their 
united  efforts,  she  has  molheied  the  little  orphan  children  who  have  been 
denied  the  love  and  care  of  fathers  and  mothers,  and  brought  to  them  the 
light  and  joy  of  real  home  life. 

Slight,  small,  frail  in  body,  but  great  in  soul,  Mattie  Atwater  Jenkins  has 
given  her  whole  life  for  the  happiness  of  othcis.  With  a  .sympathetic  minil,  a 
hand  skilled  in  helpfulness,  a  heart  that  loves  wisely,  an  unusual  measure  of 
ability  in  managing  and  controlling  she  has  shared  the  hopes  and  heartaches 
of  hundreds  of  boys  and  girls  who  delight  to  call  her  mother,  and  in  who.se
