PREFACE.
-♦•♦-
About four years since, Mr. Joseph E. Bulkeley, of New York,
who has a country seat in Rocky Hill, engaged the publisher to
prepare a full and complete genealogy of the Bulkeley family in
America, descended from the Rev. Peter Bulkeley, of Concord,
Mass., who arrived in New England in 1634 or 1635. Most of
the four intervening years have been faithfully devoted to this
work. No pains have been spared to make out a correct list of
all the descendants. The usual difficulties attending such an enter-
prise have been fully experienced. More than one thousand letters
have been written to different members of the family. Two differ-
ent circulars have also been sent to all whose residence has been
known. The writer has also visited the offices of town clerks and
clerks of probate, and examined church and parish records, searched
burial-grounds, visited numerous families, and made as thorough
investigation as practicable to include all of the race in the country.
In order to. gain all of historical interest that could be gathered,
many days have been spent in the largest libraries of New York,
Boston, New Haven, Hartford, and Worcester, the superintendents
of which have afforded every facility in their power. The task of
collecting materials for this memorial has of course been laborious
beyond what any one can realize who has not been engaged in
similar labors.
In multitudes of instances, no response has been given to letters
repeatedly sent to individuals requesting dates and other important
facts, which could be gathered from no other source. In some
cases we have been obliged to address letters to professional men
in the vicinity of the delinquents and offer them a compensation
for gathering the needed information for us. The chirography of
IV PREFACE.
those who have returned answers, in cases not infrequent, has been
such as was impossible to decipher, obliging us to write a second
time, requesting an explanation. Many families have kept no
record, but have forwarded lists from memory, and different mem-
bers of the same family have often disagreed in the dates fur-
nished. The history of the earlier generations has been made as
complete as could be by a diligent search of public records, which
are the principal sources of information respecting the earlier
families; but all the facts sought were not recorded. Records in
some instances have been lost; in others the desired items of infor-
mation are omitted, and such records often disagree. In all such
cases the writer has selected such names and dates as seemed
sanctioned by the highest authority. The later generations have
been collected mainly by examining family records and by cor-
respondence with members of the various families now living.
Great perplexity has been experienced from the fact that, until
quite recently, there has been during the last hundred years un-
warrantable neglect to register on public records the births, mar-
riages, and deaths which have occurred in the various towns and
parishes. These explanations are given, that those persons who do
not find the account of their families as perfect as they expected,
may understand that all reasonable effort has been expended to
secure completeness and accuracy. The compiler has carefully
examined all the records within his reach and the various manu-
scripts furnished him, and has diligently sought information from
all available sources. It has been his constant aim to furnish a
reliable record and history of the family in its numerous branches.
For the errors of recorders and correspondents he cannot be held
responsible. Manifest errors in the spelling of names have been
corrected according to his best judgment, while some peculiarities
in the earlier generations have been purposely retained. It is
hardly possible in a work of this kind to avoid mistakes in deci-
phering and transcribing so many thousand names and dates, many
of which are found in records and manuscripts scarcely legible.
It is exceedingly difficult to avoid all errors in printing a volume
containing so many dates and figures, even where the copy is com-
plete. Although the sheets, as they have come from the press,
have been carefully read before the last impression by some half
dozen different individuals, some errors have escaped the notice of
the compiler and his assistant proof-readers.
It is to be regretted that a few families have been so separated

from their relatives that no trace of them and their descendants
have been found. Still, with few exceptions, we think a full and
accurate record has been given.
The thanks of the compiler are due to those members of the
family who have aided him in his researches. He is under especial
obligations to Mr. Joseph E. Bulkeley for records and historical
matter relating to the family, collected by him in this country and
in England, previous to his engagement with the author; to Mr.
James H. Bulkeley, of Philadelphia, for the family records of de-
scendants in Pennsylvania; to Miss Anna L. North, Cheektowaga,
N. Y., for assistance in tracing the descendants of Prescott and
Lois Williams Bulkeley; to Mrs. M. S. Converse of Elmira, N. Y.,
for records of Benjamin, Brownell, and Francis Bulkeley; to Dr.
Edward Bulkeley, of New Haven, for valuable statistics relating
to the descendants of Edward and Diana Bunce Bulkeley; and es-
pecially to Miss Eliza Ann Bulkeley, of Southport, for aid in col-
lecting the descendants of Thomas and Peter Bulkeley, sons of
Eev. Peter Bulkeley, of Concord, and without whose assistance
their records would unavoidably have been very incomplete; and
to numerous other persons not connected with the family for the
assistance they have rendered him in his investigations.
As the work will probably fall into the hands of some not ex-
tensively versed in genealogies, the author has endeavored to
make it as free from intricacies as possible. The descendants of
each child of the first settler who married and had offspring are
distinctly traced by themselves, according to their generations, and
are all numbered from the beginning. The marginal numbers give
each descendant his place in the order of descent, while the head
numbers in the middle of the page, corresponding to those in the
margin, give the marriages of such as have entered the family rela-
tion, and as far as possible the names of their partners, with the
dates of their marriage and decease.
A full index of the baptismal names of those whose surname is
Bulkeley is furnished, the number of the individual being opposite
to the Christian name on the left and the date of birth on the right ;
also an index of the descendants of other names than those of
Bulkeley, with numbers and dates to correspond ; and a list of those
who have married into the Bulkeley family, with the number of
their respective partners on the left and date of marriage on the
right.
In conclusion, the volume is sent forth in the hope that it will

be acceptable to the numerous living members of the family, and
that it may stimulate the present and future generations to emulate
the piety, the love of civil and religious liberty, and that devotion
to the common welfare which characterized the early settlers of
New England.

THE BUJLKELEY FAMILY.
-•-♦-•
This family descended from remote antiquity. Its surname is
derived from a ridge of mountains in the County Palatine of
Chester. The name was spelled in the reign of John — 1199 to
1216 and generations succeeding — Buclough, or larger mountain.
In the 20th of Henry IV., and on the visitations of Edward IV.,
its designation was Bucclogh — Lord of Bulclogh in Cheshire; and
of the manor of Eaton, Presland and Almon, Nbrbury and Steu-
ben, and in the inquisitions of Post Mortem, of later dates, of
Stoke and Mayfield.
Robert Bulclogh, Lord of Bulclogh.
Win. Bulkeley, first son, 1302, married Miss Maud, daughter of
Sir John Davenport and wife, Alice, and their descendants bore
the manor of Norbury.
The following sketch of the Buckeleys is taken from Lyson's
Magnalia of Great Britain:
The township of Bulkeley, or Buckley, lies about nine miles
N. N. West from Nantwich ; the manor was the inheritance of an
ancient family of that name, the elder branch of which became
extinct in the 4 th century. After this period, we find two estates
in this township, each called the manor of Bulkeley; one of these
passed, by marriage, to Thomas Holford, Esq., of the body to
King Richard II., and is now the property of George James, Earl
of Cholmondeley, whose ancestor, Sir Hugh Cholmondeley, mar-
ried the daughter and heir of Christopher Holford, Esq. The
other passed, by marriage, from the family of Bulkeley to that of
Calveley, and was purchased by Lord Cholmondeley in 1659, of
Lord and Lady Byron, having been conveyed by Sir Hugh Calve-
ley to Lady Byron — then Mrs. Elisabeth Booth — in 1646.
Robert Lord Cholmondeley, Thomas Bulkeley, and Edward

10 BULKELEY FAMILY.
Bressey (or Brassay), are described as joint Lords of Bulkeley in
a manuscript of 1G62; the Brassays possessed their estates in
Bulkeley by marriage with the heiress of Hadleigh, about the
beginning of the 15th century. Webb, in his Itinerancy, written
in the year 1662, speaks of a fair new house in this township, then
belonging to Thomas Brassey, Gent. The mansion and its de-
mesne still belong to the Brassey family. Thomas Bulkeley, the
last male heir of that ancient family, resided in the township of
Bulkeley, in an house now called Bulkeley Hall, which had been
built by his father, till his death, which happened in 1802, at the
advanced age of ninety-eight (98). This mansion passed, by
bequest, to Mr. Thomas Orton, the present proprietor. Old Bulke-
ley Hall, the property of the Earl of Cholmondeley, is occupied
by a farmer (Vide Lyson's Magnalia, Vol. 3, p. 681).
In Cheshire noblemen's seats is a seat of Lord Viscount Bulke-
ley, in right of his lady, the heiress of the "Warrens. (Page 353.)
The Baskerayles, a younger branch of this family, settled at
Bulkeley, by marriage with the heiress of Hadley, descended from
a branch of the Bulkeleys. (Page 362.)
Richard Bulkeley was Sheriff of Chester in 1457. (Vide King's
History of Chester, page 73.)
The Bulkeleys were Lords of Bulkeley in the reign of King
John. Robert De Bulkeley, who was Sheriff of Cheshire in 1309,
had three sons, William, common ancestor of most of the Cheshire
branches; Thomas, whose posterity soon failed in the male line;
and Peter, ancestor of the Bulkeleys of Ware in Shropshire, and
the Bulkeleys of Boxton, who became extinct after three descents.
William, above mentioned, had several sons, viz., William, who
left an only daughter, married to Thomas Holford, in consequence
of which match the Cholmondeleys of Vale Royal, by marriage
with the heiress of Holford, are representatives of the elder
branch of the Bulkeleys. Robert, the second son of William, set-
tled at Eaton, in Devenham, and had two sons, Robert, ancestor of
the Bulkeleys of Eaton, which family became extinct after six
generations; and Richard, who married the heiress of Chedle and
of Whatcroft in Devenham. The elder branch of these Bulkeleys
removed to Beaumaris, in the Isle of Anglesea, and were ancestors
of Lord Viscount Bulkeley, who has a seat in Cheshire, in right
of his lady, as heiress of the Warrens. A younger branch of
this house continued for some descents at Chedle. Roger Bulkeley,
third son of William Bulkeley, above mentioned, settling at Nor-

an early period in moities, between the families of Praers, suc-
ceeded by the Manwarings and that of Bulkeley in the reign of
Henry VIII.
Thomas Bulkeley sold his estate in Ayton to the Breretons, who
seem eventually to have been possessed of the whole Manor which
before the year 1672 had passed, by successive sales, to the fami-
lies of Lendsay and Cholmondeley. It is now the property of
Thomas Cholmondeley, Esq., of Vale Royal, M. P. The Bulkeley s
had a seat at Ayton. Bishop Gartrell mentions a monument, for-
merly in Davenham Church, for William Bulkeley, Esq., of Ayton,
who died in the reign of Edward IV. Leland says that the two
Bulkeleys, i. e. the Bulkeleys of Whatcroft and Ayton, contended
either to be the Elder house of that name ; he adds Bulkeley of
Eaton Stakam to a daughter and Leftwich had her but Sir. Gul'.
Breton of brought Eyton. (Vol. 3, p. 647. 1810.)
The township of Whatcroft lies three miles south-east of Nor-
wich ; the manor was for many generations in that branch of the
Bulkeley family from which the present Lord Viscount Bulkeley is
descended. This branch of the family had removed into North
Wales before Leland's time but continued to possess Whatcroft
till after the year 1756. (Page 650.)
In the sixth year of the reign of Edward II., David Bulkeley,
Sergeant of the Peace, to Richard Sutton, presented the heads
of two f olons executed for burglary. (Page 686.)
A branch of the Bulkeleys resided at Hollyhurst in the seven-
teenth century. (Page 687.)
Roger, a younger son of William Bulkeley, having settled at
Norbury, upon an estate given him by his father about the latter
end of the thirteenth century, took the name of Norbury. (Page
687.)
In the parish church of Middlewich are two chapels which
belonged to the Barons of Kinderton, one fitted up in 1615, the
other in 1632, ornamented with the Arms and quarterings of that
family. In the north-east chapel which was purchased of Sir
Richard Bulkeley in 1858 are several memorials of Venables and
Levera. (Page 688.)
In the parish church of Mothan are memorials of the Bulkeleys.

bury, his posterity assumed the name of Norbury, and became ex-
tinct in the elder branch, after four generations. The posterity of
Richard, fourth son of William Bulkeley, settled at Prestland,
near Bunbury, took the name of Presland, were for several descents
of Wardle Hall in the same parish, and continued in the male line
till the middle of the 17th century, if not later. Thomas Bulkeley,
the fifth son, who was of Alpraham, left an only daughter, mar-
ried to Thomas Arderne, whose heiress married Thomas Stanley
of Elford.
David was the youngest son of William Bulkeley, Esq., by
whose death this branch of the family became extinct in 1812.
(Lyson, page 363.)
Lawrence Wright, Esq., who became thus possessed of Offerton
about the year 1600, was grandson of Thomas Wright, of Nant
wich, whose pedigree is traced a few descents higher to Thomas
Wright, alias Bulkeley. (Page 369.)
The Prestlands, descended from a younger branch of the Bulke-
ley family, were for many generations of Wordle in Bunbury.
They became extinct in the early part of the 17th century.
(Page 472.)
The manor of Austersan, or Alstanton, was at an early period
the property of the Alstantons, from whom it passed by successive
female heirs to the families of Bulkeleys, Weterhall, Praers, and
Bromley. (Page 477.)
A free school was founded at Wrenbury by Mr. Ralph Bulke-
ley in 1605. It is endowed with the interest of £230, the interest
of which is appropriated to bind their apprentices. (Page 515.)
The other moiety of the manor of Timperly was held, at a very
early period, under the Barony of Durham Massay, by the Chea-
dles and their representatives, the Bulkeleys of Cheadle. This
estate belonged to Lord Bulkeley in 1702. (Page 552.)
The Township of Wardhull, or Wardle, lies about five miles
north-west from Nantwich. The Manor is the property of the
Earl of Dysart, by inheritance from the Wilbraham family. Sir
Thomas Wilbraham, who was possessed of this Manor in the mid-
dle of the seventeenth century, purchased the Hall which is now
a farm-house, from the Prestlands, who had been settled there for
several descents from a younger branch of the Bulkeley Family.
(Page 552.)
The township of Eaton, or as it was anciently written, Ayton, lies
near three miles south by west of Norwich ; the Manor was at

Sir Robert Bulkeley of Beaumaris and Chedd, the eldest son,
was knighted in 1576; represented the county of Anglesey in sev-
eral Parliaments, in the reigns of Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth,
to the latter of whom he proved an excellent soldier and faithful
subject on many occasions. He was also chamberlain of North
Wales. He was married to his first wife, Margaret, daughter of
Sir John Savage of Rock Savage and Clifton, in Cheshire, Knight,
and to his second, Agnes, daughter of Thomas Needham, of Shav-
ington, in Shropshire, Esq., and had, by her, eight sons and two
daughters.
Dr. Launcelot Bulkeley, the sixth son of Sir Richard, was ad-
mitted a commoner of Brazen Nose College, Oxford, in 1587,
the eighteenth year of his age, and taking his degree of A. M. in
1593, was, on the 13th of November in that year, ordained deacon,
and the same day inducted to the rectory of Llandyffran, to which
was added, on the 4th of March following, the rectory of Llandeg-
vaine, otherwise Beaumaris, of which Lord Bulkeley is patron. On
the 25th of March, 1594, he was admitted into priest's orders;
after which, being Archbishop of Dublin, he took the degree of
D.D. in that University, and by letters patent, August 11th,
1619, was promoted to the Archepiscopal See, soon after which,
he was sworn of the privy council, and on the 15th of April, 1624,
appointed one of the commissioners for the preservation of the
peace in the provinces of Leinster and Ulster, during the deputy
Lord Falkland's absence to visit the new plantations in the north.
He died at his palace of Tallayht, September 8th, 1650, in the 82d
year of his age. He married Alice, daughter of Rowland Bulke-
ley, of Beaumaris, and had issue by her of two sons and two
daughters.
William Bulkeley, D.D., Archbishop of Dublin, at Miltown,
which, with many other houses and castles belonging to the
Protestant nobility and gentry in the counties of Dublin and
Wicklow, were burnt in 1641. to prevent the English from plant-
ing any garrisons in those parts. He was a person of great virtue
and piety, one who made it his chief occupation to serve the church,
and his amusement to improve and adorn his estate with planta-
tions, whereby from a rude, desolate, and wild land he brought
it to be a most delightful patrimony. He married Elisabeth,
daughter of Henry Manwaring of Kilkenny, Esq., one of the
masters in the high court of chancery in Ireland, by whom he had
three sons and three daughters. Sir Edward, the eldest son, who

This ancient and noble family appears, by a curious illuminated
pedigree in his Lordship's possession, to be descended from Kobert
Bulkeley, Esq., Lord of the manor of Bulkeley in the County Pala-
tine of Chester, in the reign of King John, who was succeeded in
his estates by his son William, who had five sons.
Robert Bulkeley of Bulkeley, Esq., the eldest son, married a
daughter of Thomas Butler, Baron of Warrington in Cheshire,
by whom he had two sons and four daughters. William, the
oldest son and heir, was living at Bulkeley in the year 1302, and
twice married, 1. To Maud, daughter of Sir John Davenport
Knight. 2. To Alice, daughter of Vigan St. Piere. By the lat-
ter wife he had one son, Richard, to whom he gave the manor of
Prentland, in Cheshire, whereupon he assumed that name which
his descendants continued to use. The issue of the former (mar-
riage) was five sons.
Robert Bulkeley, 2d son of William, became seated at Eaton in
Cheshire, which he had of his father's gift. He was sheriff of
the County in 1341, and married Isabel, daughter of Philip Edger-
ton of Malpas in Cheshire, and had by her a daughter, Cecily,
who married Thomas Weaver, of Cheshire, and had two sons.
Robert, from whom the Bulkeleys of Calemand Burgate in Cheshire
are descended, and Richard, ancestor to Lord Bulkeley. Richard
married Agnes, daughter and co-heiress to Roger Chid el, of Chid-
el, in Cheshire, and had with her that estate in which he was suc-
ceeded by his only son William Bulkeley, Esq., of Chidel, who, in
the reign of Henry VI., being Constable of Beaumaris in the
Isle of Anglesy, prevented the Duke of York from landing there
on his return from Ireland to join the Earl of Warwick against
the King. He married Ellen, daughter of Gwilliam ap Griffith of
Pentrie Esq., by whom he had six sons and four daughters. Row-
land Bulkeley, of Beaumaris, Esq., the eldest son, married Alice,
daughter and heiress to William Beconsal, of Beconsal in Lanca-
shire, Esq., and had issue five sons and two daughters.
Sir Richard Bulkeley, the eldest son, succeeded his father Row-
land at Beaumaris; was honored with knighthood and made
chamberlain of North Wales in 1534. He married Catharine,
daughter of Sir William Griffith, Jun., of Penrhyn, in the county
of Carnarvon, chamberlain of North Wales, and had, by her,
four sons and two daughters.

daughter of William Lord Borough of Gainsborough, in Lincoln-
shire. By the former he had one son and one daughter; by the
second, two sons and four daughters.
Thomas, first Viscount, the younger son, was seated at Barnhill,
near Beaumaris ; and being a person of great merit and strict
loyalty to King Charles I., was advanced, by patent under the
privy seal, dated at Oxford, June the 6th, 1643, to the dignity of
Viscount Bulkeley of Cashel, in the Kingdom of Ireland. He
married Blanche, daughter of Robert Coytmore of Coytmore, in
Carnarvonshire, Esq., and, secondly, the daughter of Robert
Cheadle, who was some time his Lordship's steward. By the lat-
ter he had five sons and four daughters.
Robert, 2d Viscount Bulkeley, the eldest surviving son and heir,
was sheriff of the county of Anglesey, in 1658, and served for that
county, in the Parliament which restored King Charles IT., contin-
uing to be its representative, till his death, which happened Oct.
the 16th, 1688. He married Sarah, daughter of Daniel Harvey, of
Coombe, in Surrey, Esq., and had issue three sons and six daugh-
ters.
Richard, the 3d Viscount, was born in 1658. He represented
the county of Anglesey in Parliament, from 1680 until his death,

succeeded to Old Bawne, was also seated at Dunlaven, in the county
of Wicklow. He was created a Baronet of Ireland by patent,
December 9th, 1(382. In 1650 he married, first, Catharine, daughter
and co-heiress of John Byhe, Esq., chief baron of the exchequer in
Ireland, and by her, who died in 1624, had two sons, and his
second wife was Dorothy, daughter of Whitfield, Esq., by
whom he had no issue. He died in 1635, and was succeeded by
Sir Robert Bulkeley, Bart., and their oldest son and heir, who had
his education in the Universities of Oxford and Dublin, and took
the degree of A.B., May 21st, 1680. He was a person of good
understanding and reason, which in many respects were set off by the
imperfect symmetry, or rather deformity, of his body. In the
course of his childhood his faculties were so extraordinary that in
a few years he acquired a very great share of learning, and, being
blessed with a great memory, his knowledge and learning were
therein most securely treasured up. At sixteen years of age he
had a large stock of human learning, with talents that have rarely
been equalled, wit, fancy, and ready apprehension, with a memory
almost miraculous. Yet with all this fund of reason and literature,
he was strangely deluded and led away by the absurd ravings of a
set of enthusiastic pretenders to prophecy, who first appeared
among the French Camisards and Huguenots. With these he en-
gaged so deeply that not only his estate partly supplied their ex-
travagance, but he prostituted his excellent pen in defense of their
phrenzy and misapplied his great capacity and good sense by
endeavors to support their groundless delusions, and was only pre-
vented by death, from selling his estate to distribute amongst them.
He married Lucy, daughter of Sir George Downing of Hatley, in
Cambridgeshire, Baronet, and leaving no issue, the title became
extinct, for his brother John Bulkeley, who died July 18th,
1699, left by Elisabeth, his wife, daughter of Henry Whitfield,
Esq.. an only daughter, Besther, who became heiress to the estate
and was married April L5th, 1702, to James Worth Tynte, Esq.,
younger son <>i' Mr. Baron Worth, and died August 9th, 1723.
Sir Robert Bulkeley, eldest son of Sir Richard Bulkeley, of
Beaumaris, by his first wife, Margaret Savage, received the bono
of Knighthood, and by King James I. instructions to Wm. Lore
Compton, President of Wales, dated November 12, 1617, was aj

March the 15th, 1738, the title descended to his brother, James, 6th
Viscount, who on the 19th of April was elected representative
in Parliament for Beaumaris ; was also constable of the castle
there and chamberlain for North Wales. In August, 1747, he mar-
ried Emma Isle, daughter and heiress of Thomas Rowland, of Csern,
in the Isle of Anglesey, Esq., by whom he had two daughters, and
also a posthumous son.
Thomas James, 7th Viscount Bulkeley of Ireland, and 1st Lord
Bulkeley, Baron of Beaumaris, in the Isle of Anglesey, was born
on the 12th of Dec, 1752. At the general elections in the years
1774 and 1780 his Lordship was chosen representative, for the
county of Anglesey ; was created a peer of Great Britain by the
title of Lord Bulkeley, Baron of Beaumaris in the Isle of Anglesey,
by patent dated May the 14th, 1784, and was likewise Lord Lieut,
and Custos Rutulorum of the city of Carnarvon. His Lordship on
the 27th of April, 1777, was married to Elizabeth Harriet, only
daughter and heiress of Sir George Warner, Knight of the Bath,
but has no issue. He made the grand tour in conjunction with the
Marquis of Buckingham.
Note. — Thomas James Warner Bulkeley, Baron Bulkeley of Beau-
maris, in the county of Anglesey, also Viscount Bulkeley of the
kingdom of Ireland, Lord Lieut, of Carnarvon, third chamberlain
of North Wales and hereditary constable of Beaumaris' castle, May
14, 1784.
18 BULKELEY FAMILY.
THE BULKELEY PEDIGEEE.
Prepared for the Genealogical Register by Miss H. A. Brainbkidge, of London.
The Bulkeley, or Bulkley, or, as it is sometimes spelt, Buckley,
family, is of very ancient origin, and thrived in Cheshire for many
years. They were afterwards scattered far and wide ; several
branches taking other names.
William Bulkeley, one of the early lords of Bulkeley, who mar-
ried the daughter of Sir John Davenport, had six sons : the eldest
William, took a share of Bulkeley ; Robert took Eaton and Al-
stanton ; Roger assumed the name of Norbury and took that es-
tate ; Richard took Prestland, and assumed that name ; Thomas
married a daughter of Matthew de Alpraham, and seems to have
taken Alpraham ; and David took a share of Bulkeley.
From these sprang the lords Bulkeley ; the Bulkeleys of Ireland,
Beaumaris, Davinham, Haughton, Cheadle, Burgate, Porthamel,
Wore (or Woore), Broxton, Stanlow, Odell, and America.
A paragraph in Neal's History of the Puritans relative to Peter
Buckeley of Odell, afterwards of America, reads thus : —
" But notwithstanding this prohibition, numbers went to New
England this summer [1635] ; and amongst others the Reverend
Mr. Peter Bulkley, B. D., fellow of St. John's College, Cambridge.
He was son of Dr. Edivard Bulkley of Bedfordshire, and succeeded
him at Woodhill or Odell in that county. There he continued
above twenty years, the Bishop of Lincoln conniving at his non-
conformity ; but when Dr. Laud was at the helm of the church
and the Bishop of Lincoln in disgrace, Bulkley was silenced by the
vicar-general, Sir Nathaniel Brent ; upon which he sold a very
plentiful estate and transported himself and his effects to New
England, where he died in the year 1658-9, and in the seventy-
seventh of his age. He was a thundering preacher and a judicious
divine, as appears by his treatise of the Covenant, which passed
through several editions and was one of the first books published in
that country."1
As regards Edward, the father, the registers at Woore, where
lie was born, are not perfect. He was the son of Thomas, and was
curate of St. Mary's, Shrewsbury, in 1550 ; afterwards prebend of
Chester, then of Lichfield, and minister at Odell, where he died.
1 The Gosjxt Covenant by Rev. Peter Bulkley, though preached as a sermon
at Concord, N. E., was not printed in this country. The first edition appeared
in London in 1646, and the second in 1651. — Ed.

INTRODUCTORY HISTORY OF THE BULKELEY FAMILY
m AMERICA.
-♦♦♦-
As the Rev. Peter Bulkeley was one of the organizers and the
first pastor of the church of Concord, Mass., and was identified
with the town in all its interests, we have deemed it fitting to ex-
tract from Shattuck's History the following : —
This church was organized at Cambridge, July 5th, 1636, and
was the thirteenth established in the colony. The meeting was
called by the Rev. Peter Bulkeley* and the Rev. John Jones
who, with others, had previously begun the settlement of
Concord. The Governor and Deputy Governor were invited to be
present on the occasion, but because they supposed there was an
informality in the invitation, at variance with their over -precise
notions of etiquette, they did not attend. They sent word three
days before, to the Governor and Deputy, to desire their presence,
but they took it in ill-part, and thought not fit to go, because they
had not come to them before, as they ought to have done, and as
others had done before, to acquaint them with their purpose.
On the 6th of April, 1637, the church kept a day of humiliation
at Cambridge, preparatory to the ordination or installation of Mr.
Bulkeley, whom they chose teacher, and of Mr. Jones, whom they
chose pastor. Delegates were present from most of the churches
in the colony to assist in the ordination, but, says Winthrop, " the
Governor and Mr. Cotton and Mr. Wheelright, and the two ruling
elders of Boston, and the rest of that church which were of any
note, did none of them come to this meeting. The reason was
conceived to be because they counted there as legal preachers, and
therefore would not give approbation to their ordination."
* The name is also spelt Bulkley, Bulkly, and Buckly. The Rev. Peter and his
family wrote it Bulkeley, and the leading families among his descendants write it
Bulkeley.
BULKELEY FAMILY. 25
The ordination, however, proceeded. Shattuck continues his
narrative. " I liave a long letter before me, written by Mr. Bulke-
ley, before his ordination, to the Rev. Mr. Cotton of Boston, in
which this subject is discussed in his usual style. I ts great length
prevents its insertion here. In a Postscript he says, ' I should have
acquainted you yesterday that the ordination of the elders of the
church of Concord is to be on Wednesday, come seven, night. It
is to be here at Newtown. 1 pray take notice of it. If it be
necessary to give any other notice to other persons, or in any other
way, we would not be wanting therein for avoiding of offense, and
I have spoken also to Mr. Wilson.' The distinguished reputation of
Mr. Bulkeley, of noble family — a man of wealth, a scholar and
divine — might have excited the envy of his fellow clergymen. He,
however, received their approbation and, on the 30th of the fol-
lowing August, was chosen one of the moderators of the first great
ecclesiastical council or synod of the colony, which was then held
in Cambridge. Winthrop mentioned the Rev. Mr. Hooker as also a
moderator. This assembly was attended by nearly all the clergy
and magistrates, and many other distinguished laymen of the
colony. It continued in session twenty-four days, and examined
and condemned eighty-two opinions which had crept into the
churches, " some blasphemous, others erroneous, and all unsafe."
•' Litchford's Plain Dealing" mentions the church in Concord as
the first one in the colony which had adopted the practice of cate-
chising children. Mather says this was one of the constant exer-
cises of the Sabbath. All the unmarried people were required to
answer questions, after which expositions and applications were
made by Mr. Bulkeley to the whole congregation. This exercise
was, however, soon adopted in the other churches. The church
was unanimous soon after its organization, and continued some
time in harmony. But the unexpected pecuniary difficulties of the
town, occasioned by its peculiar local sitution, and its condition at
that time, induced many to remove, which rendered it difficult for
the remainder to support two ministers, Mr. Bulkeley's salary as
teacher being .£70 per annum. Some difficulties arose in the
church on this account. The subject of a separation was often
discussed, and on the 28th of July, 1642, some of the elders went
to Concord, being sent, for by the church there, to advise with them
about the maintenance of their elders, and they found them waver-
ing about removal, not finding their plantation answerable to their
expectation, and the maintenance of two elders too heavy a burden
4
26 BULKELIY V A M 1 i . 1
for them The ciders' advice was, that- they should continue, and
wait upon God, and be helpful to their elders in labor, and what they
could, and all to be ordered by the deacons (whose office had not
been formerly improved this way amongst them), and that the
elders should be content with what means the church was able, at
present, to afford them, and if either of them should be called to
some other place, then to advise with other churches about their
removal.
" The advice of this council was followed a short time; but aboul
October, 1644, a separation took place, and Mr. Jones removed to
Fairfield, Conn." Thomas Bulkeley, the second sou of the Rev.
Peter by his first wife, having married a daughter of Mr. Jones,
and Peter, Jun., youngest child by his second wife, removed to Pair
held, and are the ancestors of the numerous families of the name
in Fairfield County. Cotton Mather, who has written an outline of
the life of Mr. Bulkeley in his Magnalia, gives the following ac-
count of this affair in his own peculiar style :
" Upon Mr. Bulkeley's pressing apiece of charity, disagreeable to
the will of the ruling elder, there was occasioned an unhappy dis-
cord in the church of Concord, which was at last healed by their
calling in the help of a council, and the ruling elder's (Mr. Jones)
abdication. Of the temptations which occurred on these occasions,
Mr. Bulkeley would say, he thereby came: 1. To know more of
(iod. 2. To know more of himself, o. To know more of men.
Peace being thus restored, tin.' small things in the church there
increased in the hands of their faithful Bulkeley, until lie was
translated into the regions which afford nothing but concord and
glory, leaving his well-fed flock in the wilderness under the pastoral
care of his son, Mr. Edward Bulkeley. The Rev. John Jones was
born, educated and regularly ordained as a preacher of the gospel
in England, but at what place is not known, lie arrived in New
England, October 2d, 1635, with the Rev. Mr. Shepard, afterwards
of Cambridge, and the Rev. John Wilson of Boston. Afterremain
ing as t he colleague pastor of the church in Concord about eight
years, Ik; removed with a. part of his society to Fairfield and there
undertook the charge of a- newly organized church, where he spent
the remainder of his life. I te attained an age exceeding "threescore
years and ten,' and died about L664. Pew records are preserved
concerning this early devoted Mend to the cause of Christian lib-
erty, or concerning his family Tradition gives him a highly
respectable character. Eeleft six children. John was graduated
T. V L KKLEY FAMI L Y . '11
at Harvard College in 1643, and Eliphalet, born January 9th, 1640,
who studied divinity and was the first minister of Huntington, L.
I., where lie died aged about 100 years. One daughter, Sarah, mar-
ried Thomas «Bulkeley, second son of Rev. Peter, as already stated.
After Mr. Jones' removal the whole care of the church of Con-
cord devolved on Mr. Bulkeley for the remaining 1-1 years of his
life. At this time according to Johnson it contained about seventy
communicants. The following letters of Mr. Bulkeley are deemed
worthy of publication :
"To his dear and loving friend Mr. Shepard, pastor, of the
Church at ( lambridge."
Dear Sir — 1 hoar the Lord hath so far strengthened you as that
you were the last Lord's day at the assembly. The Lord go on
with the work of his goodness towards you. Being that now the
Lord hath enabled you, thus far, I desire a word or two from you
what you judge concerning the teacher in a congregation, whether
the administration of discipline and sacraments do equally belong
unto him with the Pastor, and whether he ought therein equally
to interest, himself. 1 would also desire you to add a word more
concerning this, viz : What you mean by the execution of disci-
pline, when you distinguish it from the power. We have had
speech sometimes concerning the church's power, in matters of dis-
cipline, wherein you seemed to put the power itself into the hands
of the church, but to reserve the execution to the eldership. Here
also I would see what you comprehend under the word execution,
I would gladly hear how the common affairs of the churches stand
with you. lam here shut up and do neither see nor hear.* Write
me what you know. Let me alsoe understand which way Mr.
Phillips doth incline, whether towards you or otherwise, and which
way Mr. Rogers is like to turn, whether to stay in these parts orgoe
into Conticote (Connecticut). I wrote to you not long agoe advis
ing you to consider quid valent humeri. 1 know not whether yon
received that letter. The Lord, in mercy, bless all our labors, to
his churches' good. Remember my love to Mrs. Shepard with Mrs.
Harlakenden. Grace be with you all.
Yours in Christ Jesus,
P. Bulkeley.
Feb. 12, 1G39.
* Mr. Bulkeley often laments his situation. In :i letter to the Rev. Mr. Cot-
ton, dated Dee. 17, 1640, he. says : I lose much in this retired wilderness in which
I live, but the Lord will, at last, lighten my candle. In the meanwhile, help
us with some of that which God hath imparted unto you.

"To his reverend and loving friend, Mr. Cotton, teacher of the
church at Boston :
Reverend in the Lord. These are to desire you to convey this
letter in one of your own to Boston. I do the rather send it to
you, because, I suppose those you commit your letters to, will be
careful of the delivery, and this letter concerns matters of some
moment, in regard whereof 1 desire you to take the more notice of
it, and- convey it by a safe hand. If the business concerning Vir-
ginia be finished, T desire to know how it stands ; or if not finished
what is intended or thought upon. My wife hath been ill ever
since our coming home, but now I thank the Lord, begins to re-
cover. This day she began to go down into the house. Remem-
ber her in your prayers and us all. And so with both our loves to
yourself and Mrs. Cotton, I leave you with all yours to the Lord's
rich goodness and grace, resting yours ever on him.
Pet. Bulkeley.

To the Reverend, his honored friend, Mr. Cotton, Teacher of the
church at Boston, give these.
Reverend in the Lord.
* * * * Some other things I am full of, but will not write
with paper and ink; only in a word, I bless God for what 1 hear,
— how the Lord doth till your ministry with abundance of grace,
life, and power, to the exceeding joy of those that are true hearted
towards the Lord. But with all, 1 stand amazed and wonder at
God's forbearance, considering what I hear in another kind; which
I do also believe to be true in some parts: true, I mean, as done
and spoken by some, though untrue in respect of any cause given
on your part. Truly, sir, it is to me a wonder that the earth swal-
lows not up such wretches, or that fire comes not down from
heaven to consume them ! The Lord hath a number of holy and
humble ones here amongst us (in the country generally) for whose
sake He doth spare and will spare long; but were it not for such
a remnant, we should see tin1 Lord would make quick work
amongst us. Shall I tell you what I think to be the ground of
all this insolency which discovers itself in the speech of men ?
Truly I cannot ascribe it so much to any outward thing as to the put-
ting of too much liberty and power into the hands of the multitude,
which they are too weak to manage, many growing conceited, proud,
arrogant, self-sufficient as wanting nothing. And 1 am persuaded
BULKELEY FAMILY. '29
that except there be some moans used to change the course of
things on this point, our churcnes will grow more corrupt day by
day and tumult will arise1, hardly to be stillod. Remember the
former days which yon had in Old Boston, where though (through
the Lord's blessing upon your labors,) there was an increase daily
added to your Church, yet the number of professors is far more
here than it was there. But answer me, which place was better
governed ? Whei'e matters were swayed there by your wisdom
and counsel matters went on with strength and power for good.
But here, where the heady or headless multitude have gotten the
power into their hands there is insolency and confusion. And 1
know not how it can be avoided, in this way, unless we should
make the doors of the church narrower. This we have warrant
for from the Word, which course if it, should be taken, would
bring its inconveniency also in another kind. But of these things
no more. Only I pray the Lord to heal the evil of the places and
times we live in and remove that wol'ul contempt, of His gospel
which doth abound. Oh, what mischief doth one proud, lofty
spirit that is in reputation for understanding among a number of
others that are weak ! and some of both such there are in every
place. But our comfort is God's end and work shall go forward.
Some shall be converted, some hardened. The God of mercy
carry on His work in our- hearts and hand to the glory of His rich
grace in Christ Jesus. 1 pray remember my hearty love to good
Mrs. Cotton, thanking her for her kind remembrance of my little
ones. I pray God give us both to see His grace increasing in
those that He hath continued toward us. Farewell, dearly beloved
and honored in the Lord, comfort yourself in Him who is most
ready to be found in time of need. In Him I rest.
Fours ever,
Pet. Bulkeley.

" I could wish you would write to Mr. Goodwin to deal with

The following is a copy of his will.
WILL OF PETER BULKLEY.
L Peter Bulkley, Minister of the Word, being now in the seventy-
sixth year of my age, and ready to go the way of all flesh, do
make this my last will and testament, as followeth: first I do here-
by testifie unto all that 1 do dy in the fayth of that doctrine which I
have here preached in Concord, among my hearers, testifying and
sealing the same with this my last confession, that it is the saveing
truth of (rod, and therefore do humbly desire of Clod that those
who have opposed and gain-sayed may in time bethink themselves
and repent, that they may find mercy with the Lord in that behalf e,
even the same mercy as T desire unto myne own soul, desireing
also that though 1 have manifested much weakness in my dispen-
sacion yet the hearers would labor to express the power of what
they have received so that both I and they may rejoice together in
the day of Christ. Now as touching my worldly estate, which is
now very little in comparison of what it was when T first came to
this pla.ce, I do dispose thereof as followeth: first, I do give unto
my sonne Edward Bulkley, (to whom I did at the time of his mar-
riage give such a portion as I was then able to give,) if he continue
and stay in this land, these books following hereafter to be set
down in a schedule annexed to this my will, or if he should remove
from this country to England then (instead of ye books) before ex-
pressed, in gen'aU and to be particularly named in the schedule, \
give unto him five pounds of English money, to be paid him there
in England, by my sonne John. Item, I do give unto my daughter-
in-law, the widow of my son Thomas, deceased, the valine of one
kow, to be payd unto her by my executor hereafter named, only
with this exception, that if her necessity do require the same1 to be
payd unto her while I am liveing, then that so given in my life
time shall be instead of the other here before named, to be payed
by my executor, and my executor to be discharged of that legasy.
Item. 1 do give to my sonne Eliezer, either the farme which is
now used by Widow Goble and her sonne Thomas Goble, adjoin
ing to Mrs. Plent's farme, or my mill here in the town, or the
bunded acres of land be the same more or less, which lies at the
neerer end of the great meadow, liing towards the further end of
the great meadow, beyond the poynt of upland, which shooles down
into the meadow towards the River, one of these three, namely,
either the farm or the mill, or the hundred acres of land, with the
twenty acres of meadow. 1 do here give unto my said sonne
BCLKELEY FAMILY. 3 J
Eliezur, but which of the three to settle upon him I do not at
present resolve, but, I leave the consi< lerecion thereof to my execu-
tor and the overseers of this my will hereafter named, desiring
them to let him have that which will be most usef nil and profitable
to him when he is fit to make use thereof. Item, 1 do give and
bequeath to my sonne Peter, the next in vallew of these three
things before named so that when Eliezur's portion is set out, then
the next in worth to be for Peter, and the third of the three to re
inayne to those that shall inheritt mine house in whicli 1 do now
live. Item, 1 do give to my Sonne John, Mr. Cartwright upon
the Rhemish Testament and Willett Synopsis. Item, to my son
Joseph, Mi'. Wildersham upon the one and fiftieth psalme and ye
history of the Council of Trent in English, and Cornelius Tacitus
in English and Mr. Bolton on Gen. 6: concerning a Christian walk-
ing with Cod. Item, I do bequeath to my Lord Oliver St. John,
Lord Chief Justice of the Common Please, my great English Bible,
in folios which hath the letters of his name (0. C.) upon the cover
of it; in treating him to accept this small token of my due love
which 1 owe unto him and as a. testimony of my thankful acknowl-
edgement of his kindness and bounty towards me, his liberality
having been a great help and support unto me in these my later
times and many straytes. Item, 1 do give unto my cousin, Mr.
Samuel Haugh, Dr. Twiss, in folio, against the Arminians. Item,
I do give to my daughter Dorothy, the hundred and fifty pounds
of English money, which I have in England, in the hands of my
sonne John, the most part thereof came to me and my wife by the
death of one of my wife's sisters. I mencion here £150 be the
same more or less, — and though I suppose it is somewhat more,
but what it is in just and exact amount I do not know but what-
soever it is, to my daughter Dorothy I give it whicli being lesser
than to suffice for her suteable disposall in marriage I do therefore
desire my wife, when God shall take her to himself, to add some-
thing more to the £150, as God shall enable her, and in the mean
time I will that if my sonne do make any protit thereof, that then
not only the said £150, be it more or less, but the profit of it also
shall be reserved to the increase of my daughter's portion. The
rest of my estate unbequeathed before, whether moveables or im-
moveables, as, namely, my house, land, whether granted me lirst
by the town or bought by money from others, cattle or money, or
household stuff, or plate or whatsoever, I do give unto my dear
wife, and her heirs by me begotten, giving her power hereby to
32 lil'LKKLEY FAMILY.
dispose by sale, or otherwise, lo her benefit of any part of the lands
1 have in the town (except before bequeathed and given) to her
own benefit as her need shall require. And in case any of my
children before named by me in this my will to whom 1 have be-
queathed the legacies named, should prove disobedient to their
mother, or otherwise vicious and wicked (which God of his mercy
prevent), then 1 will that the legacy before bequeathed to any of
them, so proving disobedient and wicked, shall be wholly in the
power of my said wife, their mother, to deal with them therein as
shee herself in Christian wisdom shall think meet, either to i;ive
them their Legacy, or to keep it to herselfe, and my will further is,
that if any the three children before named, Eliezer, Peter or
Dorothy, should dy before their legacy es be paid them, that then
the legacy of the deceased shall go to the other two surviveing, if
my wife do not stand in need of it, hut if she do stand in need
thereof, for her necessary maintenance, I hen she shall have power
to take it, to herself. It may perhaps be expected that I should
bequeath something to the publique use of the country, which prac-
tice 1 wish were observed more than it is by those that are of
ability. But were my estate better than now it is, 1 suppose I may
he therein excused, in regard to what I have done formerly, in
the beginning of these plantations, wherein what, I have done,
some few do know, but 1 will here be sparing therein. This only
I know and may say, that, which 1 did then was an help to the
weake beginning, which then were, more than what was then done,
1 do not thinke God requires of me now, considering my wasted
estate, which 1 have here consumed, haveing little to leave to the
children what God hath -^iven me and to pretious wife whose un-
feigned piety, and singular grace of God shining in her, doth de-
serve more than I can do for her. Her and her children by me, I
do now leave to the goodness, and mercifull providence and can
of God, my merciful] father in Christ Jesus beseeching him that
as he hath given them to me so hi; wont fake them again as a gift
from my hands, owneing them as his owne, being a father to the
fatherlesse and a Judge unto the widow: to defend her case, in
cast; any should go about to do her wrong. And of this my will
and testament 1 do make my loveing wife mine only Executrix,
desireing my loving BrethereD Robert Merriam and Luke Potter,
the faythfull Deacons oJ our church, and William Hunt, and Timo

The Rev. Peter Bulkeley, B. I)., was ol honorable and noble
descent,. He was of the tenth generation from Robert Bulkeley,
Esq., one of the English barons, who in the reign of King John,
(who died in 1216) was Lord of the Manor of Bulkeley in the
County Palatine of Chester.* He was horn at Woodhilhj- in
Bedford si lire, Jan. 31, 1583. His father, the Rev. Edward Bulk-
eley, D. T)., was a faithful minister of the Gospel, under whose
direction his son received a learned and religious education suited
to his distinguished rank. About the age of sixteen, he was admit
ted a member of St. .John's College at Cambridge, of which he was
afterwards chosen fellow, and from which he received the degree oi
Bachelor of Divinity. He succeeded his father in the ministry, in
his native town, and enjoyed his rich benefice and estate; where he
was a zealous preacher of evangelical truth about twenty years,
and, for the most part of the time, lived an unmolested non-eon
formist. At length, his preaching meeting with distinguished sue
cess, and his church being very much increased, complaints were
entered against him by Arch-bishop Laud, and he was silenced for
* The names of the lineal descendants from Robert, furnished by Charles
Bulkeley, Esq., of New London, a. grandson of Gershom, gathered from the pre-
vious sketch on the names and titles of nobility, were 1. Willi:im; 2. Robert ; •'!
Peter, who married Nicholaus Bird of Hampton. 4. John, who married Andryne,
daughter and heir to John Colley of Want and died 14!>0. 5. Hugh, who mar-
ried Hellen Wilbriham, of Woodley; f>. Humphrey, who married Cyle, daugh-
ter and heir of John Matten ; 7. William, who married Beatryce, daughter and
heir to William of Bulansdale; 8. Thomas, who married Elizabeth, daughter of
Randelle Grovenor; 9. Edward, D. T)., of Woodhill, who married Olive Islby of
Lincolnshire; 10. Peter of Concord. He had two brothers, Nalhanael and Paul.
The latter died fellow of Queen's College, Cambridge. From William a brother
of Peter of the third generation, were also many ennobled descendants among
whom are recorded in the Irish Peerage seven Viscounts in succession. Other
branches have been much distinguished. The motto adopted in the Family Coat
of Arms was "Nectemere nee timide" — Neither rashly nor timidly, and contains a
beautiful sentiment, characteristic of the eminent father of the American family

his non-conformity to the requirements of the English Church.
This circumstance induced him to emigrate to New England, where
he might enjoy liberty of conscience.*
He arrived in Gambridge in 1634 or 1635f and was the leader of
those resolute men and self-denying Christians who soon after
"went further up into the woods and settled on the plantation at
Musketaquid Concord." Here he expended most of his estate for the
benefit of his people; and after a laborious and useful life died
March 9th, 1659, in his 77th year.
Mr. Bulkeley was remarkable for his benevolence. He had
many servants, on whom, after they had lived with him several
years, he bestowed farms, and then received others to be treated
in a like benevolent manner. By great familiarity of manners he
drew around him persons of all ages; and his easy address, great
learning, and eminent piety, rendered his society pleasing and prof-
itable to all. Persons seldom separated from his company, without
having heard some remark calculated to impress the mind with the
importance of religion. Though sometimes suffering under bodily
infirmities, he was distinguished for the holiness of his life, and a
most scrupulous observance of the duties of the Christian ministry.
He avoided all novelties in dress and wore his hair short. Being
strict in his own virtues, he was occasionally severe in censuring
the follies of others. He was considered as the father of his peo-
ple, and addressed as father, prophet, or counsellor by them, and
all the ministers of the country. Had the scene of Mr. Bulkeley's
labors been in Boston, or its immediate vicinity, and not, as he
expresses it, "shut up" in this remote spot, then difficult of access,
his name would have appeared more conspicuously in the published
annals of the country. He was a thorough scholar; an elevated
devotional Christian; laborious in his profession; and, as a preacher,
evangelical, faithful, and of remarkably energetic and persuasive1
elocpience. He often wrote a series of sermons on a particular

another ship and son John 15, some weeks earlier, besides Benjamin 11, and Dan-
iel 9, (which two though not names of his sons vet may stand for them,) all these
in the same ship with himself, but set down at intervals in the record, both of
time mid space, and of course his clerical character does not appear or he would
have been stopped."

through several editions. The latest edition bears the following
title, "The Gospel Covenant, or The Covenant of Grace Opened."

Grace and Covenant of Works. 2. The different administration
of the Covenant before and since Christ. 3. The benefits and
blessings of it. 4. The conditions. 5. The properties of it.
Preached at Concord in New England by Peter Bulkeley, some-
time fellow of St. John's College in Cambridge. (Here follow
quotations; Gen. 17: 1-7, and Isaiah 55: 3-7). The second edition
was much enlarged and corrected by the author. And the chief
heads of things which were omitted in the former distinguished
into chapters. London, printed by Matthew Simmins, dwelling
in Aldersgate Street, next door to the Golden Lion, 1651, pp. xvi,
and 442 Quarto. It was dedicated " to the Church and Congrega-
tion at Concord;" and to his nephew "The Rt. Honorable Oliver St.
John, Lord Embassador extraordinary from the Parliament of the
Commonwealth of England, to the High and Mighty Lords, the
States General of the United Provinces of the Netherlands; and
Lord Chief Justice of the Common Pleas."
It is a work of great merit for that age, and considering it was
preached in the remote ends of the earth, "the Church of God,"
says the Rev. Mr. Shepard of Cambridge, "is bound to bless God
for the holy, judicious, and learned labors of this aged, experi-
enced, and precious servant of Christ." After reading this book.
President Stiles observes: " He was a masterly reasoner in the-
ology, and equal to the first characters in all Christendom and in
all ages.
Two of Mr. Bulkeley's manuscripts are preserved in the Library
of the American Antiquarian Society. One contains answers to
several theological questions, and is addressed to the Rev. Mr.
Phillips of Watertown. The other is on the character and govern-
ment of the Church. The following analysis is given at the close
of this work: "Part I. The visible Church is: 1. — -For the
efficient cause, called of God. 2. — For the material cause, a num-
ber of visible saints and believers in the judgment of men. 3. —
For the formal cause, union by an explicate and implicate cove-
nant together. 4. — For the final cause, to set out God's praises.
Part II. The Church's government: 1.— Is originally in the
people's hands. 2. — Which people are to elect their own offi-
38
BULKELEY F A M I I, Y .
cers, teachers, elders, and deacons. 3. — By which officers they
.are to rule and govern, — by admitting fit members, and by watch-
ing over, admonishing, and casting out those that be bad." This
is a most able defence of Congregationalism in opposition to Epis-
copacy, and touches with the author's peculiar power and clearness
the ecclesiastical questions in discussion at that period.
Mr. Bulkeley was twice married. 1. To Jane Alien, daughter
of Thomas Allen of Goldington, whose nephew was Lord Mayor
of London. By her he had twelve children, ten sons and two
daughters. He lived eight years a widower, and then married
2d, (I rare Chetwood (or Chitwood). By her he had four chil-
dren. ,She survived him and removed to New London, where
she bought a house in 1663, and died April 21, 1 r.r>()

Rev. Edward BtjlkeleTj son of Rev. Peter and Jane Bulkeley,
horn at Odell, England, June 17 Mil !. where he was chiefly edu-
cated; emigrated to this country: was admitted a member of the
BULK E L E Y F A M [ L Y. 39
First Church in Boston, in 1034. Having acquired a professional
education, under the instruction oi' his lather, he was licensed to
preach the Gospel, and ordained at Marshfield, Mass., in 164*2 or
1643. On the death of his father, in 1659 ; he was dismissed and
installed over the Church in Concprd, as his successor, with an an-
nual salary of £80. He died in the 53d year of his ministry, at
Chelmsford, Jan. 2, H>96, probably on a visit to his grandson, and
was buried in Concord, aged 82.
Few records are preserved concernim:; his ministry or himself.
He is represented, by tradition, to have been lame and of a feeble
constitution. He was however greatly reputed for his talents, ac-
quirements, irreproachable character, and piety. He preached an
election sermon in 1680, from 1 Sam. 2: 30, and one before the An-
cient and Honorable Artillery Company in 1679 from 1 Pet. 2: 11.
He also pleached one in 1676 in commemoration of the safe return
of Capt. Thomas Wheeler and his associates, after the Battle of
Brook Held. The duties of his ollice increasing- with the growth of
the town, assistance was judged necessary and the lie v. Joseph
Estabrook was ordained as his colleague in 1667. His salary was
also £.80, of which £40 was to be paid in money, and £4 0 in grain,
wheat to be estimated at 5s.. rye at Is., and corn at 3s., per
1 mshel.
March 12, 1681, the town voted " That every householder that hath
a teame, greater or lesser, shall carry yearly one load of wood to the
minister, and every other householder or votable person shall cut
wood one day for the minister, and that the wood be equally
divided to the ministers, as the selectmen shall appoint." The ar-
rangement which the following vote specifies was made March 5,
1694. " Whereas the Kev. Pastor, Mr. Edward Bulkeley, is under
such infirmities of body by reason of great age, that he is not capa-
ble of attending the work of the ministry as in times past, being
also sensible of the obligations the town is under to afford him a
comfortable maintenance during the term of his natural life, that
thereby the people may testifie their gratitude for his former ser-
vices in the Gospel, they do hereby oblige the town to pay Mr.
Bulkeley, yearly, during his natural life, the sum of £30 in lieu of
his former salary." This proposition was assented to by Mr. Bulk-
eley, on condition that he should have liberty to preach or not as
he please.
Mr. Bulkeley married and had a family, but the date of his mar-
riage and the name of his wife has not been ascertained

Jonathan, son of Peter and Abigail Bulkeley, born Sept. 21,
1731, married Hannah Hoyt, daughter of James Hoyt, of Norwalk,
Ct., June 21, 1762. He died April 13, 1789.
On the 7th of July, 1776, Gov. Tryon, with his army, sailed
52 BULKELEY FAMILY.
from New Haven to Fairfield, and the next morning disembarked
upon the beach. The Hessians who accompanied Tryon were his
incendiaries. To them he entrusted the wielding of the torch, and
faithfully they obeyed their master. When the people fled from
the town, not suspecting that their homes would be burned, they
left most of their furniture behind. The distress was, conse-
quently, great, for many lost every earthly possession. Among
the buildings saved was that of Mr. Bulkeley. Tryon made it his
headquarters. The naval officer who had charge of the British
ships, piloted them to Fairfield, was Mrs. Bulkeley's brother, and he
had requested Tryon to spare the house of his sister. Tryon
acquiesced and, feeling his indebtedness to her brother, the general
informed Mrs. Bulkeley that if there was any other house she
wished to save she should be gratified. After the enemy left, the
enraged militia under Captain Sturges placed a field piece in front
of the dwelling, and then sent Mrs. Bulkeley word that she might
have two hours to clear the house and leave it, or they would blow
her to atoms. She found means to communicate a notice of her
situation to General Silliman, who was about two miles distant.
He immediately went to the town and found one hundred and fifty
men at the Common. By threats and persuasions, he induced them
to withdraw. The next day Col. Benjamin Talmadge, with his
regiment, arrived from White Plains and, encamping on the smok-
ing ruins, made Tryon's quarters his own. Mrs. Bulkeley was not
a friend of the enemy.
According to her testimony under oath, she was badly treated
by the soldiery, notwithstanding she had a protection from General
Garth, the second in command. They plundered her house, stripped
the buckles from her shoes, tore a ring from her finger, and fired
the house five times before leaving it."

turned to England and had a living at Fordham, whence, being
ejected in 1662, he removed to Wapping, near London, and prac-
ticed physic with good success, and died Jan. 28, 1689, old style,
or according to the present computation, Jan. 28, 1690. His will,
which was probated in the Prerogative Court at Canterbury, bears
date Oct. 11, 1689. In said will he names his wife A vis, and three
children, as follows: —
291. Elisabeth, born m. Edward Falkner.
292. Edward, ) " There is no evidence that these

They were, when young men,

England.

Recorded in the Records of the Prerogative Court, of Canterbury, Eng-
land. Copy procured by Horatio G. tiomerby, Esq.
The last Will and Testament of John Bulkeley, of the Precincts
of St. Katharines, near the tower of London, Gent., made and
BULKELEY FAMILY. 65
ordained this 11th day of October, 1689, Witnesseth and declareth
as followeth : Imprimis that I, the said John Bulkeley, having first
resigned my Imortal soul into the gracious hands of him that gave
it, with good hope and humble confidence, founded on the Scrip-
ture of faith, through the sole merits of Jesus Christ, that blessed
and only mediator between God and man, who is himself both
true God and true man, in one person, received and ajDplied, by the
renewing work of the Holy Spirit, that he will receive it into his
everlasting glory.
As for my mortal body after its decease, I leave it to the care of
my executor and joint executresses, hereafter named, to be decently
buried, in such place and manner as by special direction, in a small
schedule, under my hand given, shall be by me hereafter ordered,
only having long observed the general dislike of and complaint
against late burials. As to the time of my bodie's interment, my
express will is that, if it shall happen in the winter, or when the
daies are shorter than the nights, that then the said interment be
actually made, at the furthest by half an hour before sunset. If
in the summer, when the daies are longer than the nights, that
it be at the furthest by six o'clock in the afternoon. As to the
portion of worldly goods, which God, of his free .bounty, hath
bestowed upon me, my just debts and funeral charges being first
paid and, that as soon as may be, I give and bequeath the same, in
manner and form following.
Imprimis, I give and bequeath unto my loving wife Avis over
and above what is and was settled upon her by speciall covenant
and agreement, by me, to and with her, had and made before our
inter-marriage, the sume of thirty pounds of good and lawful
money of England, to be to her paid by, five pounds a quarter,

over, I hereby give and grant unto her my said wife the possession
and use during her natural life of all of those rings, necklaces,
jewels, pieces of plate, and other household stuffs, which she had
before, and brought with her at our said inter -marriage, or hath
been by me since given, willing with all, and desiring that her best
diamond ring be, immediately after her decease, given, taken by
or delivered to my loving daughter Elizabeth, the now wife of
Edward Falkner, Grocer, for her sole proper use and dispose, if she
shall happen to be then living, otherwise to be and come to her sole

diamond ring-, with the rest of the said rings, necklaces, Jewells,
&c, be sold and equally divided between my two sons, Edward and
Thomas Bulheley, and their brother-in-law, my son-in-law before
named.
Item. I give and bequeathe unto my loving sister, Mrs. Eleanor
Prye, the sum of five pounds, and unto my brother and sister

brothers, in New England, Vizt., Edward, Gershom and Peter

deceased brother Thomas, if to be heerd of and then living, to my
nephew, Edward Bulkeley, here in England, and to my nephew,
Thomas Trye, the son of my late brother-in-law, Mr. Win. Trye,
the sum of ten shillings apiece, if then living, to be to them and
every of them respectively, paid as soone as may be after my de-
cease, and as for the remainder of my personal estate, my mind
and will is that it be forthwith sold and turned into money, and to
equally divide between my sonnes and son-in-law, Edward, Thomas
and Everard, afore mentioned, and in case of any of their personal
decease before me, my mind and will then is that the part of the said
dividend which should have come to such said child, son or son-in-
law, shall be and come to his or their oldest child, respectively, if
any such shall be then living. If any of them shall decease before
me, then the said dividend to be proportionally to the then sur-
vivors.
As to the land in Kings Hall, Suffolk, settled upon me and my
heirs, after my wife's decease, my mind and will is that that
also be forthwith sold, and that of the product thereof, within two
months of the said sale, two hundred pounds of good and lawful
money of England be paid to my son Falkner as the full remainder
of his present wive's portion by me before marriage, promised,
and as for the remainder of said product, my mind and will is that
it be equally divided between my two sons Edward and Thomas
aforesaid, only in case either of them happen to decease before the
said last dividend made, and shall leave lawful issue behind them,
my will is that their respective parts thereof do and shall come and
be to the use and behoof of such issue, and accordingly to them or

money thence arising received, or else to be otherwise put out
upon good security for the benefit of the said issue as my executor
shall think safest and best. All other of my estate, whether reall
or personal, together with my seal ring (which I hereby particu-
larly exempt and reserve from all foregoing bequests), I give and
bequeath fully and wholly to my son Edward, whome, together
with my said wife, Avis, and my daughter Elisabeth Falkner, I

DESCENDANTS OF REV. GERSHOM BULKELEY.
THIRD G E NERATION.
Rev. Gershom Bulkeley, son of Rev. Peter Bulkely, the Puri-
tan settler of Concord, Mass., and his second wife, Grace diet wood
Bulkeley, born Dec. 6, 1636, graduated at Harvard College in
1655, before completing his nineteenth year. He married Sarah
Chauncey, daughter of President Chauncey of Harvard, the emi-
grant ancestor of the name, Oct. 26, 1659. She was born in Ware,
England, June 13, 1631, and was admitted to the church in Cam-
bridge Dec. 10, 1656. She died June 9, 1669. In the year 1661,
Mr. Bulkeley located at New London as the second minister of
the church in that place. The following entry in regard to him is
in Miss Caulkin's History of New London (page 131): " The year
1661 presents us with a new minister, Mr. Gershom Bulkeley of
Concord, in the Bay Colony, who, having preached several months
in the place, entered into a contract to become the minister of the
town. This was merely an engagement for a term of years, and
contained no reference to a settlement or ordination. The town
pledged a salary of £80 yearly, for three years; and afterwards
more, if the people found themselves able to give more, or as much
more as God shall move their hearts to give, and they do find it
needful to be paid." It was to be reckoned in provisions or Eng-
lish goods, and for the first three years he was to have all such sil-
ver as weekly contributed by strangers, to help towards the buying
of books. The town was to pay for the transportation of himself,
family, and effects from Concord, provide him with a dwelling
house, orchard, garden, and pasture, and with upland and meadow
for a small farm ; and supply him with firewood for the use of his
family, and do their endeavors to suit him with a servant or youth
and a maid, he paying for the time. Finally, if Mr. Bulkeley
should die during the continuance of his ministry, his wife and
children should receive from the town the full and just sura of
£60 sterling." The contract was afterward modified, to obviate

some difficulty which occurred in building the parsonage. Mr.
Bulkeley proposed to provide himself witli a house and free the
town from an engagement to pay £60 to his family in case of his
decease for the sum of £80 in hand. To this the town consented,
on condition that he remained with them seven years; but they
added this clause: " In case he remove before the seven yeer, he
is to return the S0£ agen, but if he stay the V yeere out, the 80 C
is wholly given him, or if God take him away before this time of 1
yeeres, the whole is given his wife and children."
Mr. Bulkeley, after having freed the town from their engage-
ment to build a parsonage, purchased the homestead of Samuel
Lothrop, who was about to remove to the new settlement of Nor-
wich. The house is said to have stood beyond the bridge over the
mill brook, on the east side of the way toward Mohegan. Here
Mr. Bulkeley dwelt during his residence in New London, probably
where the Hallam house now stands.
The following entries are found on the records of the town:
"15th Jan. 03-4. James Rogers, Levt. Smith, Gary Latham,
John Smith, and William Hough are appoynted to go to Mr.
Bulkeley for the settling him amongst us."
* " 25 Feb. Old Mrs. Bulkeley's request be read."
" Mr. Buckley, for enlarging maintenance yt he may keep a
man, and also take the geting wood into his own hand — if not,
let 10/. more be added to our town rate for wood cutting; and cart-
ing, and 4/. for raising the pulpit."
"At a town meeting, Feb. 25, 16G4-5:
" The town having desired to declare their myndes concerning
Mr. Bulkeley, it was propounded whether they were willing to
leave Mr. Bulkeley to the libertye of his conscience, without com-
pelling or enforcing him to anything in the execution of his place
and office contrarye to his light, according to the laws of the Com-
monwealth. Voted to be their myndes."
This is the first intimation of any uneasiness between Mr. Bulke-
ley and the people. There are no church records reaching back to
this period, and his reasons for leaving are but obscurely inti-
mated. He had not been settled, and no great formality was neces-
sary to his departure.
"At a town meeting, June 10, 1665:
* Mrs. Bulkeley, the mother of Rev. Gershom Bulkeley, removed to New Lon-
don, and resided there after the decease of her husband, Rev. Peter Bulkeley, of
Concord, Mass.
80 BULKELEY FAMILY.
"The town understanding Mr. Buckley's intention to go into
the Bay, have sent James Morgan and Mr. Douglas to desire him
to stay untill seacond day come seven night, which day the town
have agreed to ask againe Mr. Fitch to speak with him, in order to
know Mr. Buckley's mynde fullye whether ha will continue with
us to preach the gospell."
The overtures made to him seem to have proved unsuccessful.
A vote, however, was passed, showing that no embittered feeling
had grown up between Mr. Bulkley and the 'people. Though he
had ceased to be considered as their minister, he remained in town
and occupied the pulpit with acceptance until a successor was ob-
tained. The following vote appears on the town records:
" It is voted and agreed that Mr. Bulkeley, for his time and
paines taken in preaching the Word of God to us since the time
of his yere was expired, have thirty pounds to be gathered by a
rate."
Mr. Bulkeley is supposed to have removed from New London to
Wethersfield in the early part of the year 1667. He was installed
pastor of the church in Wethersfield the same year of his removal,
as successor to Rev. John Russel, who had removed to Hadley,
Mass. He continued the pastor there about ten years, when he
was dismissed in the year 1677. He then devoted himself to the
practice of medicine and surgery. He was appointed by the Gen-
eral Court, in 1675, surgeon to the army that had been raised
against the Indians, and Mr. Stone was directed to supply his place
in his absence. In 1676, while the party to which he was attached
was in pursuit of the enemy, he was attacked by a number of In-
dians near Wachuset Hill, in Massachusetts, and received a wound
in his thigh. As a clergyman, he stood at the head of his profes-
sion, and ranked among the first in medical science. He devoted
much time to chemistry, with its useful researches, and to philoso-
phy as a cardinal branch of medical knowledge. He was master
of several languages, among which were the Latin, Greek, and
Dutch. He was famous as a surveyor, pre-eminent, in his time, as
a chemist, and highly respected as a magistrate. His sympathies
were not always on the popular side. He was a man of peace;
but was, at the same time, one who expected unqualified obedience
to authority. At least, as a politician, he was opposed to the as-
sumption of the government by the Colonial authorities in 1689,
after the time of Sir Edmund Andross. His political sagacity and
foresight enabled him to foresee that the course the colonists were
BULKELEY FAMILY. 81
pursuing would finally lead to the triumph of those democratic
principles which they all disavowed, and consequently he set his
face against them. In 1689, he published at Philadelphia, a
pamphlet on the Affairs of Connecticut ; but no copy is known to
exist of it in this country. The same year he wrote an elaborate
work, with the curious title: " Will and Doom, or the Miseries of
Connecticut, by and under an usurped and arbitrary power, being a
narrative of the first erection and administration of Government in
their Majesties Colony of New England, in America. 1689."
The work was never printed, but was sent to England by the
Governor of New York, some dozen years after, as the most reli-
able account of New England to be found.* At a subsequent
period, a copy elegantly transcribed was procured, and may be
seen in the State Library at Hartford, Conn. He died at Wethers-
field Dec. 2. 1713, aged 77 years and 11 months old. On his mon-
ument is the following testimonial: "He was honorable in his
descent; of rare abilities, extraordinary industry, excellent learn-
ing, master of many languages; exquisite in his skill in divinity,
physic and law, and of a most exemplary and Christian life. '-In
certam spem beate resurrectiones repositas."
Soon after Mr. Bulkeley's devoting himself to the practice of
medicine, he located on the east side of the river, in what is now
Glastonbury, and became quite a landowner.
During the year previous to his decease, he made his will, of
which the following is a copy:
The last will and testament of Gershom Bulkeley, of Wethers-
field (alias G. Bulkely of Glastenbury), in the county of Hartford,
in her Majesties Colony of Ct., in New England, Practitioner of
Physick, made on the 26th day of May, in the year of our Lord
1712, and in the eleventh year of the reign of our Sovereign Lady
Anne, by the grace of God Queen of Great Britain, France, and
Ireland, and of the Dominions thereto, Defender of the Faith, &c,
is as follows: The said Gershom Bulkely having much more than
twenty years walked upon the very mouth of the grave, under so
great infirmity that I cannot but wonder how I have all this while
escaped falling into it, have not been wholly unmindfull of that
which nature and common prudence calls for in such cases. But
in the mean time, sorrowful changes from the Most High have

passed over me, and some that I had hoped would have survived
me, have prevented me and left me behind them, whereby together
with some incident considerations, I am moved to alter some things
which otherwise I should not have done. And therefore remain-
ing, tho' very weak in body, yet (through divine mercy) of sound
mind and memory, I do now make this (I hope) my Last Will and
testament, hereby unmaking and annulling all former wills What-
soever made by me. In the first place, casting myself upon the
riches of Sovereign Grace (if God hath wrought any truth in my
most deceitful heart), I commit my sinful soul into the merciful
hands of my most gracious Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, whom
God hath exalted by and at his own right hand to be a Prince and
a Savior, to give repentance and remission of sins unto Israel. To
him, therefore, I fly for both, with that humble and comprehensive
petition of the Publican: ' God be merciful to me a sinner;' and
my body I commit to the dust as it was, to be (as near to my late
dear wife as, conveniently, may be) decently but obscurely buried,
without much cost or ceremony. I neither deserve nor desire
those things, yet desire a part in the first and better resurrection of
the just.
In the next place I will that all my just debts, due from me
(which I thank God are now and I hope shall be very few and
small, if any) be well and duly paid, by my executor hereafter
named, and as for those poor children which I shall leave behind me
in a most sinful calamitous world to grapple with difficult times,
the best bequest I have for them is Luther's short, but significant
and pertinent prayer, " To domine nutri servatore": To him, there-
fore. I commend and give them all, humbly beseeching him that
he will graciously accept them and theirs; and make them all his
own and faithful to the death, and be their portion a God and
father to them, in Christ his son, from generation to generation.
Amen. As for that little real estate which I had, I have already,
by acts executed in my own life time, disposed of it, some to others
and the rest of it among my sons or, to their use and behoof, re-
spectively, as occasion hath required, and some also part of my per-
sonal estate I have bestowed upon my children already; the remnant
thereof of my personal estate I dispose of as follows: Imprimis to
my son Charles his daughter, Hannah Goodrich, (not to say what I
have already done for her since her marriage which she knows, yet
to her) or to the next Representative or Representatives I give and
bequeath eight pounds in current money of Connecticut or equiva-

lent thereto, to be paid by my executor hereafter named, as soon as
conveniently he may after my decease, except only, that in case her
occasion should require, and I live to pay the same or any part
thereof myself ; that then my executor shall be discharged of so
much as I shall pay or cause to be payed.
Item, to my good daughters in law. Hannah Avery and Rachel
Wolcott, I give each of them a golden Ducat (or ten shilling piece)
if I happen to have a couple.
Item, to my son Edward's present wife, Dorothee, I give a golden
guinea (or twenty shilling piece) if I happen to have one.
Item, to my brother Peter's children (Gershom, Peter, Grace,
Margaret and Dorothee) I give each of them ten shillings in cur-
rent money of Connecticut or equivalent thereto, and if any of them
happen to owe me anything at my decease not exceeding ten shil-
lings, I will that it be remitted to the debtor, and in particular to
the said Grace, I give my great red rugg which was once her
mother's, provided that she the said Grace do siirvive me.
Item, to my son Edward. I give and bequeath the clock, now
standing in its case in his house as also my Seal Ring, the great
gilt spoon, the least of my two silver porringers and all the books
and manuscripts that I have touching matters of law, except the
notes which I had at some time written out of Coke's 1st, 2d, 3d
and 4th Institutes, which notes I formerly gave to my son, and
which tho now in my hand; my will is that he shall have them
again, if they may be of use to him. I give my son Edward also,
my whip saw, tension saw and timber chain, being of use for his
mill.
Item, to my son John, aforesaid, besides what I have otherwise
done for him, to the utmost of my ability (and I wish I could have
done as well for the rest of his brethren) I have already given the
greatest part of my books and my silver pocket watch (which last
I mention that my executor may not be at a loss what is become of
it) but besides, there are some other parcels needless to be men-
tioned and besides what I may and shall yet do for him, if God
give me life and further ability 1 give and bequeath to him all the
rest of my books which I now have and also my manuscripts, writ-
ten by my grandfather, my father, or others, I say all such my
books and manuscripts, as concern only divinity and other learning,
except the law (which books and manuscripts I have given to Ed-
ward as aforesaid), and except also medicine and chymistry and
some few other books, which with those that concern medicine and
chymestry I shall otherwise dispose of by and by.
84 BULKELEY FAMILY.
Item, to my grandson Richard Treat, (the son of Thomas and
Dorothy, I give and bequeath all my books and manuscripts, which
any way concern medicine and chymestry, among which I include
all Glaubus and Boyle's Books* which I have, whether in Latin or
English as also Georgics, Agricola, De Re Metallica and Lazarus,
each retranslated by St. John Pettus, called Fleeta Minor, or the art
&c. of Metalls ; and the same St. John Pettus, his Fodine Regales,
and such like books, and also Littleton's Dictionary, for the Latin
tongue, and my Dutch Grammar for the Dutch language, together
with my manuscript Dutch Dictionary, which may help him to read
and understand Hehwart's Degerend, &c, i. e., the Day Spring, a
new resurrection of the art of Medicine, which book is in the Dutch
language, and together with all my vessels and instruments usefull
thereabout, of glass, brass, or copper, iron, stone or earth. All
these I give to him provided he hold and pursue his inclination to
that study, but if by death or otherwise he be diverted or depart
from it, then I give them all to the next of his brethren, that
will apply himself to the study, but if none of them then I give
them all to his mother (my daughter Dorothy) to dispose of at her
discretion or to his father, in like manner, if he survive her.
Item to my daughter Catharine Treat (now deceased), I have al-
ready given a competent portion in proportion to my tenuity, yet
her only child and daughter Catharine Treat, I give and bequeath
my lesser silver tankard, my lighter silver cucurbite to be distin-
guished by its weight from that which I have already given to my
daughter Dorothe, (tis not that which belongs to the silver retort
but is much better and bigger than that), I give her also the silver
salt sellers and the small silver dram cup, all whichl had intended
for her mother, had she survived me, and which are (I doubt not)
worth at least twenty pounds in money. Yet I reserve and give
liberty to my daughter Dorothy, to redeem any of the silver vessels
aforesaid for the full value thereof if she desire so to do. This
Legacy I will to be paid to the said Catharine Treat, at her age of
eighteen years, or day of marriage which of them shall first hap-
pen, but if neither of them happen, then, at her decease, to her
father, (my grandson in Law, Richard Treat) if he be then living,
but if not then this legacy to be divided equally, in value, between
my son Charles, his daughter Hannah Goodrich aforesaid and my
daughter Dorothy Treat aforesaid or their next legal representa-
tives, by nature and blood respectively.
* Bulkleley's copy of Georgics Agricola and of Glaubus and other medical
books are now in the library of Trinity college.
BULKELEY FAMILY. 85
Lastly to my daughter. Dorothy Treat, aforesaid, who as yet hath
had but little and what she hath had is not now to be accounted
for (to her), I give and bequeath all the rest of my personal estate,
whatsoever it be, without mentioning or apprizeing of particulars,
whether it be in my own hands or in the hands of others, or due
and owing from others to me; except only that if there shall be
any poor widow or widows or other truly poor persons not able to
pay their debts to me, my will is that my executor shall remit it
and not trouble them for it, — which I must leave to his discretion,
yet with this advertisement, that by poor I mean such as are
indeed poor, at least by divine Providence, not by idleness, nor
such as may say they are poor and yet can find wherewith to
drink, swell, and swagger, and make themselves poor and others,
too.
And in particular, To her, my said Dorothy Treat, I give and
bequeath my negro maid Hannah, willing and solemnly requiring
that into whose hands soever she may happen to come they use
her well, and consider that she hath a soul to save as well as wee,
and is a Christian; and therefore that they make conscience to
promote her in her reading, catechism, and all Christianity, that
she may profit and grow in religion and godliness, and attain the
end of baptism to the glory of God; and this I earnestly require
on her behalf, as they will answer the neglect thereof before God.
To conclude, there is a manuscript of my own concerning the
Divinity of the Scriptures, which I did not intend to be included
among the theological manuscripts above given to my son John,
tho' I forgot particularly to except it there, and therefore I do
except it here; and this manuscript I give and bequeath to all my
children, Edward, John, and Dorothy, for the good of themselves
and their's for whose sakes I principally wrote it (not excluding
but including Hannah Goodrich, aforesaid, and Catharine Treat,
aforesaid also), that they may know whom and what they believe,
and especially such of them as have not these other (and possibly
better) helps, which my said son John hath or may have. But
the trust and custody of it for the use of them all I commit to my
said daughter, Dorothy Treat, to whom all the rest may resort for
that end as their behoof and desire shall move and direct them.
Finally, for the execution of this my Last Will and Testament, I
nominate, constitute, and appoint my loving and trusty son-in-law,
Thomas Treat, to be my sole and only executor, and in testimony
and confirmation of all the premises, I have to these presents put

Dr. Charles Bulkeley, born about 1663. Studied medicine,

court records of New London county: — "1687. This court grants
HI lerty unto Mr. Charles Bulkeley to practice physick in this county,
and grants him license according to what power is in them so to
do." He married and had one child, but died young. The family
name of his wife is not known, nor the date of marriage. He
died before his father, Rev. Gershom Bulkeley, as appears from
the following instrument, contained in the sixth volume of the
New London Records, page 203:
To all people to whom this present writing shall come, greeting:
Whereas I, Gershom Bulkley, Late of New London, in the county
of New London, in her Majesties Colony of Connecticut, in New
England, in America, and now resident in Glassenbury, in the
county of Hartford, in the Colony aforesaid, practitioner in physic,
have formally, by my deed of gift under my hand and seal, en-
feoffed my son, Charles Bulkley, late of New London, aforesaid,
of all my land and tenements in the same New London, to have
and to hold the same, with all privileges and appurtenances to the
same belonging, to him, the said Charles, and to his heirs and
assigns forever; which deed of gift is also acknowledged good
before the Honorable John Allyn, esq., late of Hartford, afoi-esaid,
in or about as I remember, the year 1688, to the end that the said
deed might be recorded according to law, but am now informed
the said deed of Gift is since the decease of my said son Charles,
casually burnt in the burning of the house wherein it was and is
not to be ffound on record. Now know ye that in considerate >n
of the premises, and to the end that no inconveniences may grow by
means of the loss of the said deed of gift, I, the said Gershom Bulk-
ley, do by these presents acknowledge and allow the said deed of gift
made by me to my said son Charles, and that I allowed his entry
into and possession of the said lands and tenements in New London,
afforesaid ; and that he was lawfully seized thereof in fees, and for
the more full assurance thei'eof, I, the said Gershom Bulkley, have
ratified, approved, and confirmed, and do by these presents ratify,
approve, and confirm, my sd son Charles in his entry into and
possession of the said land and tenements, together with the rights
lawfully accruing thereupon, as particularly the right of dower to
his rellict, and the right of inheritance descended upon his heir;
BULKEL'ET V A MILY, 89
accordingly have ratified, approved, and confirmed, and do by
these presents ratify, approve, and confirm, to my said son Charles,
his only child, daughter, and heir, Hannah, now Hannah Goodrich,
of Glassenbury, aforesaid, the estate of inheritance in fee which
the said Hannah by law and right hath in the said lands and tene-
ments, with the privileges and the appurtenances of the same.
That is to one messuage which I bought of Samuell Lathrop, late
of New London, aforesaid, as by his deed of sale on record may
appear, with the house and orchard thereupon. Item: one other
piece of land which I purchased of Jacob Waterhouse, late of
the same New London, as by his deed of sale on record may ap-
pear. Item: one other small strip of land which was granted me
by the town of New London, aforesaid, lying betwixt the Mill
Brooke and the streete upon which streete the messuage aforesaid
abutts south-westward, which grant may appear by the Eegister of
the said town, to have and to hold the said lands and tenements
and every part and parcel thereof, of the same and of every of them,
with all priveledges and appurtenances to the same and to every of
them belonging, or any wise appertaining to her, the said Hannah
Goodrich, and to heirs, that is to say true and right heirs, accord-
ing to the due course of the common law of England, and to her
assigns and to her and their and every of their owne only and
proper use and behoofs forever, as fully and absolutely to all intents
and purposes: as if the said deed of gifts to her father, now
extant and on Eecord, or as if the same deed had been made
immediately to herself only, reserving to her mother her right of
dower during her natural life, accordingly to the law; and also adver-
tising that whereas I observe that the Register that then was hath
omitted the abatements of ye south-eastward end butts upon the
neck and uppermost mill-dam, and not upon the lower dam, and so it
abuts upon the streete also which in that place passeth over the said
dam. And advertising also that this said strip of land must be no
detriment or incumbrance to the proprietors or occupiers of the
mill, but they may at all times raise the water to what height
they can and will, without denyall or disturbance from the said
Hannah or her heirs or assigns. And in testimony of the prem-
ises, I have to these presents put my hand and seale, in Glassenbury

Queen of Great Britain, France, and Ireland, and of the dominions

Rev. John Bulkeley, son of Rev. Gershom and Sarah Chauncey
Bulkeley, born ; married Patience Prentice, daughter of
John and Sarah Prentice, in 1701, and was the father of twelve
children. He graduated at Harvard College in 1699. Studied
divinity, and was ordained as pastor of the church in Colchester, Ct.,
Dec. 20, 1703, and took a high rank among the clergymen of his
time. He wrote " A preface to B. Wolcott' s Meditations ; an election
sermon in 1713, entitled " The Necessity of Religion in Societies."
In 1724, he published an "Inquiry into the Right of the Aborigi-
nal Natives to the Land in America." In 1729, he published
another tract, " An impartial accoitnt of a late Debate at Lyme,
upon the following points: Whether it be the will of God that the
Infants of Visible Believers should be baptized ; Whether sprinkling be
lawful and sufficient; and whether the present way of maintaining
ministers, by a public rate or tax, be lawful.''''
Dr. Chauncey thus writes concerning him: " Mr. John Bulkeley
I have seen and conversed with, though so long ago that I formed
no judgement of him from my own knowledge. Mr. Whittlesey,
of Wallingford, Mr. Chauncey, of Durham, and others I could men-
tion, ever spoke of him as a first rate genius; and I have often
heard that Dummer and he, who were classmates in college, were
accounted the greatest geniuses of that day. The preference was
given to Dummer in regard of quickness, brilliancy, and wit; to
Bulkeley, in regard of solidity of judgement and strength of argu-
ment. Mr. Gershom Bulkeley, father of John, I have heard men-
tioned as a truly great man and eminent for his skill in chemistry;
and the father of Gershom, and grandfather of John, Mr. Peter
Bulkeley, of Concord, was esteemed in his day as one of the great-
est men in this part of the world. But by all that I have been
able to collect, the Colchester Bulkeley surpassed his predecessors
in the strength of his intellectual powers. Mr. Bulkeley was
classed by the Rev. Dr. Chauncey, in 1768, among the three most
eminent for strength of genius and powers of mind, which New

England had produced. The other two were Mr. Jeremiah
Dummer and Mr. Thomas "Walter." He was regarded, by the
men of his time, as a famous casuist and a sage counsellor. The
following anecdote in regard to him is well authenticated:
"A church in the neighborhood had fallen into unhappy divis-
ion and contentions which they were unable to adjust among
themselves. They deputed one of their number to the venerable
Bulkeley, for his advice, with the request that he would send it to
them in writing. It so happened that Mr. Bulkeley had a farm in
the extreme part of the town, upon which he had located a tenant.
In superscribing the two letters, the one for the church was, by
mistake, directed to the tenant, and the one for the tenant, to the
church. The church was convened in order to hear the advice
which was to settle all their disputes. The moderator read as
follows: ' You will see to the repair of the fences that they he built
high and strong, and you will take special care of the old black bidV
This mystical advice 'puzzled the church very much at first, but an
interpreter among the more discerning ones, was soon found who
said, ' Brethren, this is the very advice we most need; the direc-
tion to repair the fences is to admonish us to take good heed in the
admission and government of our members; we must guard the
church by our Master's laws, and keep out strange cattle from the
fold. And we must in a particular manner set a watchful guard
over the devil, the old black bull, who has done so much harm of
late.' All perceived the wisdom and fitness of Mr. Bulkeley 's
advice, and resolved to be governed by it. The conseqnence was
that all the animosities subsided, and harmony was restored to the
afflicted church. What the subject of the letter received by the
tenant was, we are not informed, and what good effect it had upon
him the story does not tell."
Among the land deeds of the town of Colchester, are several to
Mr. Bulkeley, which show him to be one of the largest owners of
that kind of real estate in town.
He died without having made a will, and the following joint
agreement was entered into by his children, as appears on the
Probate Records:
"Articles of agreement made this 17th day of July, Anno
Domini 1733, by and between John Bulkeley, Gershom Bulkeley,
Charles Bulkeley, and Peter Bulkeley, on ye one part, and Sarah
Trumble, Dorothy Bulkeley, and Patience Bulkeley, on the other
part, witness that all the above named persons, being children and

appears sometimes to be an inheritance. His mother died in 1811,
at the age of 90 years.
"His father, Major Charles Bulkley, was son of Rev. John Bulk-
ley, of Colchester, a divine of great eminence in his day, and
grandson of Rev. Gersham Bulkley, the second minister of New
London, and afterwards minister of Wethersfield. The mother of
Major Charles Bulkley was Patience, daughter of Captain John
Prentis, of New London. Major Bulkley himself married Ann,
daughter of Jonathan and Borradil Latimer, of New London, and
removed to this place from Colchester when his son, Charles, was
about two years of age. Here he purchased of Deacon Thomas
Fosdick the property on Bank Street, both sides of the way, which,
with some addition, has ever since continued in the family. He
went into business in this town, and was honored with several
offices of public trust, but was suddenly removed by death in the
year 1762, when he was about 52 years of age. He is interred in
our old burial ground, where a moss-covered stone shows the place
of his rest.
"His son, Charles, went early to sea, and was an expert and thor-
ough seaman when the war of the revolution broke out. Many
pages might be written, full of romantic interest, and yet literally
true, relating to the adventures of our townsmen at that period.
They were a community of mariners — all the young men went to
sea — and were early inured to bear and defy every kind of peril
that could beset them upon the broad ocean. Along this coast and
in the sound during the eight years of warfare many hard conflicts
took place, and many brilliant exploits were performed, which,
though only of local and minor importance in the result, are worthy
of being rescued from oblivion. They show, at least, the hardihood
of our people at that time, the fortitude with which they endured
suffering and exposure, and the patriotic devotion to the cause of
liberty, which often led them into combat against fearful cdds and
brought them off victorious.

"Perhaps none of our townsmen at that period met with more
wild and perilous adventures than Charles Bulkley. In the spring
of 1775 a sloop from New London, which had been on a peaceful
trading voyage to the West Indies, was rounding Montauk Point,
and had almost arrived in sight of home, when an armed vessel
bore down upon her, fired a shot athwart her course, and demanded
her surrender. The sloop being unarmed, and totally unprepared
for defence or escape, was, of course, given up. The armed vessel
was a tender from the British frigate Rose, commanded by Captain
Wallace, who was then stationed on this coast, and who afterwards
became notorious for his bombardment of Stonington, and for
plundering and annoying the inhabitants on the sea-coast to the
eastward. The nephew of Captain Wallace came on board the
sloop with four men, took possession, and informed the Americans
that a battle had been fought at Lexington, and, of course, war
had commenced. He transferred the crew of the sloop to the ten-
der, with the exception of the captain, mate, and Charles Bulkley,
who was a seaman on board. These he retained to navigate the
vessel, and ordered them to shape their course for Boston, where
he should take his prize.
"Not long after this change was accomplished a boat from the
neighboring shore with two men in it approached the vessel.
Wallace armed his men with such weapons as he could find, (har-
poons and hand spikes,) and ordered the men in the boat to keep
off, which they did. He could not fire upon them, for it happened
that there was but one gun on board, and in the first moments of
capture Bulkley, with quick foresight, had secreted the powder and
ball. As the boat pushed off a bold expedient rushed into Bulk-
ley's mind, which was executed as soon as conceived. He ran along
on the boom, plunged into the ocean, got into the boat, and impart-
ing his spirit and activity to the other two men, they pulled for
Block Island, and were soon safe on shore. Here he found a small
body of militia engaged in taking off some cattle to secure them
from the plunder of the British. He made known to the com-
mander a plan he had formed to wrest from the enemy their prize,
and was readily furnished by him with two row-boats and a num-
ber of men and arms, with which he set out in chase of the sloop.
He was so fortunate as to get possession of her without bloodshed.
The next day she was towed into New London and delivered up to
the owners, and young Wallace and his men were consigned as
prisoners to the civil authority.
BULKELEY FAMILY. 113
" Soon after this we find Charles Bulkley a midshipman in the
newly-formed American navy, and sailing in the fleet fitted out at
New London under Commodore Hopkins. This little fleet had
been a source of much solicitude and expense to Congress. It was
intended to annoy the British armed vessels that infested the coasts
of the Southern States, and much was expected from its gallantry.
It left New London harbor in fine style, the stars and stripes on its
flag — thirteen stars and thirteen stripes — streaming out on the wind.
Yet this fleet accomplished nothing but the plunder of the island
of Providence, and the chief officers were afterwards censured by
Congress for their inactivity. On the homeward voyage, however,
just eastward of Montauk Point, they had a sharp engagement with
the British frigate Glasgow, which was considerably injured, and
only escaped by the skill and tact of its commander. In this action,
fought very near the spot where less than a year before he had dis-
played such signal energy and adroitness, young Bulkley was dis-
tinguished for the cool intrepidity with which he stood at his gun.
" He remained several years in the navy, was soon made a sailing
master, and then advanced to a lieutenancy. He made one cruise
with the valiant Paul Jones, and was afterwards transferred to the
Alfred, commanded by Captain Elisha Hinman. This vessel being
overtaken by a superior force, and basely deserted by her consort,
was taken, and the crew carried prisoners to England. Lieutenant
Bulkley, with others, was confined in Falkland Prison, where he
suffered a weary confinement, and was subjected to great privations
and indignities. He at length made his escape, by secretly dig-
ging, with great labor and perseverance, a trench under ground,
leading beyond the outward wall, and succeeded in getting to
France, from whence, after some delay, he returned to America.
"On reaching home, without waiting to repose or recruit, he took
command of a privateer, and hurried again to sea. In this capacity
he made several voyages, and brought a number of valuable prizes
into port. After the conclusion of the war he gladly returned to
the peaceful merchant service, in which he continued for a long
term of years. It would be interesting to know the number of
voyages which a man of so much activity in the course of so long
a life had made. We may safely say that they must be estimated
by hundreds.
" This is but an imperfect tribute to the memory of a brave man,
a skillful navigator, an estimable and venerable citizen, one who
for almost a century has walked these streets, and sailed on these

waters. It is one of the penalties of longevity to outlive old
friends and time-endeared acquaintances, and often too the cher-
ished companion of the household and hearthstone. Captain Bulk-
ley had great afflictions of this kind for his portion. Not only
neighbors and friends, and a generation of townsmen, and the
companions of his youth went before him, but he lived to see most
of his children laid in the grave. He leaves behind no descend-
ants but one only son.' — F. M. C."

"Walter Williams Bulkeley, son of Joseph and Mary Williams
Bulkeley, born Sept. 15, 1797; married Lucy Rollins, daughter of
Levi Robbins, June 17, 1830. Was a merchant in Rocky Hill,
Conn. Being in feeble health, he went South, and spent the win-
ter of 1834, and lost his life on his return passage, March 2, 1834,
by the burning of the steamboat on the Delaware river, near Phila-
delphia. An account of his unfortunate death is thus given by
an aged member of the Bulkeley family:
In the winter of 1834, the steamboat Pennsylvania, of the Phila-
delphia and Baltimore passenger line, took fire on the passage up
the Delaware river, was run on to the flats below the Navy Yard,
Philadelphia, and burned to the water's edge. Among the passen-
gers was a gentleman, in delicate health, returning to his home from
a sojourn in the South, who threw overboard sundry settees, and
committed himself to their buoyancy as a means of safety. This
gentleman was rescued by some boats at hand completely wet
through and chilled, and unfortunately taken into a low grogery,
known as the Khouli Khan tavern, in Chestnut, above Front street.
124 BULKELEY FAMILY.
Here in the course of the evening this gentleman died from the ef-
fects of this severe exposure upon his debilitated frame. A gentle-
man present had heard him say his name was Bulkeley, and speaking
of his black silk neckerchief, also said, that it contained something
valuable. These facts this gentleman communicated to Charles,
J. H., and Chauncey Bulkeley, who immediately sought the aid of
the then mayor, Hon. John Swift, in the matter. The party pro-
ceeded at once to the tavern spoken of; found deceased there, and
the cravat missing. The mayor, addressing himself to a female
present, (whom he denominated a "Meg Merrilies " in aspect,)
asked her for the missing article. She was then told (after deny-
ing knowledge of it) to produce the cravat forthwith, or the whole
household would be marched to the lockup in short order. The
missing neckerchief was found stowed away under the counter,
unfolded, and found to contain several hundred dollars in bank
notes. These the mayor took charge of, and the deceased was
found to be the above Walter W. Bulkeley, of Bocky Hill, (Step-
ney, Conn.) Chauncey Bulkeley took charge of the remains,
placed them in the care of an undertaker, notified the family, and
Mr. Balph Bulkeley, of New York, went to Philadelphia, identified
and removed them to Rocky Hill, with the funds found.

Bulkeley, born June 1, 1787. He was twice married — 1, to Mary

2, To Nancy Bradford, of Rocky Hill, May 1, 1825. He died in
1857. The following obituary notice of him was prepared by Dr.
Rufus W. Griswold:
DR. SYLVESTER BULKLEY.
"Sylvester Bulkley was the second son of Hosea Bulkley, of
Rocky Hill, formerly a part of Wethers field, in which place he
was born in 1787. He was prepared for college by Rev. Calvin
Chapin, D. D., of Rocky Hill, entered Yale in 1806, and graduated
in 1810. The following winter he taught school in Wethersfield,
meantime pursuing the study of medicine under the instruction of
Dr. Daniel Fuller, of Rocky Hill. He then attended lectures in
the medical department of Dartmouth College, Hanover, N. H,
and received the degree of M. D. at that institution in 1812. Dr.
Bulkley first commenced the practice of his profession in Haddam,
where he remained about eight years, when he disposed of his
business to a Dr. Munger, and went to Chester. There he remained
but a short time, when he returned to that part of Haddam known
as Higganum, in professional connection with Dr. Munger. A
more favorable offer presenting itself, Dr. Buckley located in Upper
Middletown, (now Cromwell,) where he remained in successful
practice for about twelve years. He then relinquished his business
in that place, and after spending a few months in New York and
its neighborhood, availing himself of the facilities for acquiring
128 BULKELEY FAMILY.
medical knowledge there afforded, he returned and settled in Ber-
lin. In that town he continued until 1848, when Rocky Hill being
left without a resident physician, by the removal of Dr. A. W.
Barrows to Hartford, Dr. Bulkley returned to his native place.
Here he continued in the practice of his profession until within a
few days of his death, though age and its consequent infirmities
restricted the amount of his business for the latter part of the
time.
"Dr. Bulkley was of a robust habit of body, and of vigorous con-
stitution, and had good health, with the exception of attacks of
rheumatism, which is hereditary in his family. In consequence,
probably, of exposure and overexertion in visiting a patient in
the severe weather of the season, he was taken sick the twenty-
seventh of January last, and died the first of February, in the
seventieth year of his age. His disease was an acute inflammation
of that portion of the peritoneum covering the liver, which prob-
ably extended to the liver itself. For the first three days of his
illness Dr. Bulkley expected to recover, and his physician thought
him improving, but after this he passed into a state of total insen-
sibility, and sank rapidly. He was attended by Dr. A. S. Warner,
of Wethersfield, and once seen by Dr. E. K. Hunt, of Hartford,
and myself. Dr. Bulkley was a member of the Hartford County
Medical Society at the time of his decease, and had always felt a
lively interest in all efforts for the promotion of the profession.
"Dr. Bulkley was an honest man, upright and straight forward
in his dealings, an active and excellent member of society, of high
moral character and correct habits of life, enjoying the esteem of
his neighbors and acquaintances, and a sincere professing Christian.
He became a member of the Congregational Church in Berlin
during his residence in that town, and continued his connection
there till his death, though an attendant on divine worship at
Rocky Hill after his removal thither.
"As a physician Dr. Bulkley enjoyed a liberal patronage in the
several localities where he resided. He stood well in the estima-
tion of his brethren of the medical profession, and was on partic-
ularly confidential terms and often in consultation over the sick-bed
with the late Drs. Richard "Warner, of Cromwell, and Archibald
"Welch, of Wethersfield. Naturally of a strong mind and inde-
pendent character, he had little disposition to yield to the foolish
whims of his patients, when he saw that yielding would be preju-
dicial to their recovery; and his refusal to gratify them in this
BULKELEY FAMILY. 129
respect some times made enemies of those who should have had
the greater regard for him for his firmness of purpose in their
behalf. Considerations of policy, which often stand men instead
of sound medical knowledge ; subterfuge in conversation, which is
a cover for professional ignorance ; suavity of manner, which hides
defects in the practice of medicine — upon these Dr. Bulkley did
not altogether rely to gain the esteem of the families in which he
practiced. He expected to benefit his patients rather by the po-
tency of his remedies than by the grace of his bow; by the efficacy
of his prescriptions, rather than by the ease of his conversation.
Consequently, those who call a physician more for the purpose of
having their diagnosis confirmed, and their views of the proper
treatment supported by him, than for the sake of his medical
advice and care, and who dislike him in proportion as he disagrees
with their notions, often complained of Dr. Bulkley, when they
would have done better to listen willingly to his counsel, and
adhere trustingly to his orders. With quacks and quackery he
had no patience, and quite as little with those who followed them.
Of 'steam doctors,' 'consumption doctors,' and other like empyrics,
he entertained a great abhorrence and contempt; and with the
various isms in medicine that from time to time spring up to have
a mushroom existence, he would have nothing to do. Correctly
considering a proper medical education as indispensably necessary
to the proper practice of the profession, and that the science must
have a stable theory, based upon known facts for its foundation,
in order to be deserving confidence, Dr. Bulkley had no part with
those who ' take up ' the trade without a thorough training in the
various fundamental branches of the profession, and would have
no counsel with interlopers, who had no other title to be called
doctors than that bestowed by themselves alone.
"Dr. Bulkley lived to a ripe old age, in the enjoyment of respect
and esteem, performing his duties, as a man and a physician, capa-
bly, faithfully, and honestly, and was gathered to his fathers in
peace, like a shock of wheat fully ripe for the harvest.

1820. She died July 7, 1859. Mr. Bulkeley died June 13, 1845;
the last survivor of eight brothers. His early life was passed at a
time of great spiritual declension and worldliness in that vicinity,
where no special efforts were made for the conversion of children,
and yet he was, from a child, the subject of many serious impres-
sions, and when in early manhood, he, with the wife of his youth,
united with the Congregational church of Colchester, they were
regarded as very young members.
In 1806 he removed to Williamstown, Mass., where, during a res-
idence of nearly forty years, he exemplified the virtues of a sincere
BULKE LEY FAMILY. 137
and active piety, by a zealous cooperation with his pastor, in pri-
vate counsel, in social religious converse and prayer, going from
house to house, and in the varied forms of usefulness presented
by that series of revivals which signally blessed that region. The
Rev. Ralph Welles Gridley, who was for some eighteen years
his pastor, used to remark that Mr. B. was his right-hand man.
Though a layman of moderate acquirements, he treasured up a large
fund of practical religious knowledge, which, united with a happy
faculty of winning the unconverted, often rendered his persuasions
effectual upon more cultivated minds. They sought and improved
occasions of private interview with the students of Williams Col-
lege, and other young persons, when with great earnestness and
force he urged the necessity of personal piety. He thought much
of the conversion of children, and passed whole nights in prayer
for the conversion of his own, whom he taught and governed with
the faithfulness of a Christian father. To great firmness and
energy of character he united a habit of great personal industry,
literally doing with his might what he found to do. During his
last illness from dropsy, he was for seven months an example of
Christian patience, the happy result of his settled confidence that
the anchor of his hope was cast within the vale. He so familiar-
ized himself with the bright scenes in prospect, that his conversa-
tion and prayers evinced an ardent desire to depart and be with
Christ. Without a struggle he fell asleep, -'calmly as to a night
of repose."

166 BULKELEY FAMILY.
biographical sketch of Judge Bulkeley appeared in the columns of
the Hartford Courant at the time of his decease:
"On Tuesday, the 6th instant, Judge Bulkeley, while seated in
the office of the iEtna Life Insurance Company, of which he was
president, was stricken with paralysis. During that day and the
day following he was, at intervals, able to converse, but afterwards
was wholly unconscious up to the time of his death, which occurred
at his residence in Washington Street, at a quarter before seven
o'clock last evening. For the past few years he has been almost
wholly deprived of sight, and that affliction, which made it difficult
for him to get about, gave him the appearance of being much more
feeble in body than he really was.
"Judge Bulkeley was born in Colchester on the 20th of June,
1803, and was therefore sixty-nine years of age. He graduated at
Yale College in the class of 1824, and after his graduation studied
law in the office of William P. Williams, in Lebanon. In 1830 he
was married to Lydia S. Morgan, of Colchester, who survives him,
and at about that time he removed to East Had dam. He practiced
law in that place, and was also president of the East Haddam Bank.
He represented the town in the General Assembly, and was twice
a member of the Senate from the nineteenth district. In 1847 he
removed to Hartford, and filled the office of School Fund Commis-
sioner. For several years he held official positions, and was a lead-
ing man in politics. In 1857 he was elected with Nathaniel Ship-
man to the legislature, from Hartford, and was chosen Speaker of
the House of Bepresentatives by the Union Republicans. He was
originally a Whig, and joined the republican party at its formation.
In the practice of law here he formed a partnership with the late
Judge Henry Perkins, the firm being Bulkeley and Perkins. His
later years have been devoted to the business of life insurance.
He was the first president of the Connecticut Mutual Company,
which he assisted in organizing, and subsequently, in 1850, organ-
ized the JEtna Life Company, taking its presidency at the start,
and holding it to the time of his death. He was largely interested
in all the ^Etna moneyed corporations, banking and insurance, fire
and life, and was also a director in the Willimantic Linen Com-
pany, and other concerns, besides being a leading stockholder in
very many profitable business enterprises. Out of them he accu-
mulated a handsome fortune, approximating a million of dollars.
"Judge Bulkeley 's habits of life were very regular. He was
especially prompt in all his engagements, making it a duty to be
BULKELEY FAMILY. 167
present at meetings where his presence was expected. It is said
of him that for eighteen years he has never failed, until during his
last sickness, to attend and preside over the meetings of the Pearl
Street Ecclesiastical Society, to which he belonged. When he lived
in Church Street his regularity of attendance at school meetings in
the first district was a matter of remark, and since he removed to
"Washington Street he has been equally punctual at all the meetings
of the south district. At all gatherings, whether religious, politi-
cal, or otherwise, in which he took an interest he was never tardy.
His regularity and promptness were not exceeded by any other
citizen, probably. And he was especially faithful to all his political
obligations. It was not enough that he should vote on election
day, but he urged others to do so. He never neglected his duty as
a citizen. One marked characteristic of the man was his wonder-
fully retentive memory as to individuals and dates. His knowledge
in this respect enabled him to give, with surprising accuracy, many
genealogical facts relating to families, whose own members were
in ignorance. Few men have lived in the state who have possessed
such general information with regard to individual associations.
In other respects his knowledge was quite extensive, accurate, and
valuable."

SECOND GENERATION
ir.
Peter Bulkeley, youngest son of Rev. Peter and Grace Chet-
wood Bulkeley, was born June 12, 1643. He came to Fairfield.
Conn., with his mother; married and settled there, and was by pro-
fession a physician. The name of his wife has not been ascertained.
She probably died before him. He made his will March 25, 1691.'
in the 49th year of his age. In said will he names his two oldest
daughters, Grace and Margaret, and son Peter, 1± years old.
From the will of his brother Gershom, of Wethersfield, we find
that he had other children, as Gershom and Dorothv, to whom his
190 BULKELEY FA MILY-
brother Gershom makes legacies. Gershom's will is some twenty-
years later than that of Peter. Peter's will commits three chil-
dren, Margaret, Grace, and Peter, to the care of his brother Ger-
shom, of Wethersfield, which would lead to the inference that they
were the youngest.
The following is a copy of his will, taken from the Fairfield
Probate Record.
" I Peter Bulkeley, in the 49th year of my age, now ready to go
the way of all flesh, do die in the faith of that doctrine which has
been preached among us. T give my soul to God that gave it. As
to my small estate, my two feather beds with the bedding and
linen. I would have them divided between my two oldest daugh-
ters. (Jrace and Margaret. As to that flock bed that is at Hannah
Sherman's, there let it remain; or if young James Bennett have it,
it shall be only upon courtesy, doing my executor's pleasure, as he
may see cause, in the room of other clothing; and when Peter shall
come to be bound let two indentures be written interchangeably,
wherein the said James shall be engaged to teach him the art of
weaving both lining and wooling to the best of his capacity, being
bound to him 'till he become one and twenty, being now this day
seven years and a quarter old. The mare that is now at Daniel
Silliman's, the man that I had her of is to have her again, being
so agreed upon between me and his agent Bradley, to be delivered
at New Haven, together with a Bill of Nathaniel Chittenden for
New Haven; the other horse must go into the estate. All the
other estate I leave it wholly to my executor, whether physick or
other household stuff, and as above so the house and land. T shall
leave it wholly to my executor, he knowing all the concerns about
it, and the writing being tyed safe in the trunk. I do here make my
beloved brother, Gershom Bulkeley, my sole executor, to do and
act in all things as occasion shall require. That this is my last
will and testament is hereby declared by setting to my hand and
seal this 25th of March, 1691.

An Inventory follows this will, and was exhibited to the court

It seems he left Margaret and Peter, minors, to be clothed out
of the estate, unless they shall be provided for by Mr. Gershom

Eleazer Bulkeley, son of James and Elisabeth Whitehead
Bulkeley, born February 2, 1763; married Mary Ogden, daughter
of Jonathan Ogden, December 22, 1785, of Mill Plain, Conn. The
following historical sketch has been furnished by one of his
descendants:
Eleazer Bulkeley was born February 2, 1763. His father, James,
was a weaver, "and intended," he says in his narrative, "that 1
should learn the same trade, for which I had a great dislike. From
eight to ten, at intervals. 1 was at school, and attending to my
father's calls. From ten until twelve I was of some assistance to
him, earning in the summer months twenty shillings a month. At
twelve I inclined to follow a seafaring life, and at the close of the
year 1774 left my home in Mill River, for New York, on a market
boat. At the close of the month of April, 1775, the inhabitants
were panic-struck at the news, by a messenger on horseback, of
the battle of Lexington. The battle of Bunker Hill occurred soon
after, and the people were now making every effort to put them-
selves into a common defense, both by sea and land.
"At the commencement of the year 1776 the Defense, an armed
vessel, was fitted out at New Haven by the state of Connecticut.
A goodly number of men, and boys too, enlisted in her from Fair-
field, I among the latter, after receiving (reluctantly) my father's
permission. We were taken from Black Rock, to the vessel then
lying in New Haven Harbor, on the 13th of March, 1776, and
returned in the Defense to Black Rock, when we learned of the
evacuation of Boston by the British. We proceeded to Boston.
Our first encounter was with a sloop and brig, and after a close
contest both surrendered. The loss on their side was thirty-nine
killed and wounded; on ours none killed, and a few only wounded.
Colonel Campbell (captain) was taken prisoner. He was afterwards
exchanged for Colonel Ethan Allen, then in England a prisoner.
After this action we sailed for New London, where we were put on
another vessel, to which the name of our old one was given, and in
June started on a cruise. When ten or twelve days out I espyed
a sail. On coming up to it we found it a British ship from Jamaica
26
202 BULKELEY FAMILY.
We Took oit' her crew, put a prize master on board, and ordered
her back to New London. Early one morning in the last of Sep-
tember we lef t Holmes Hole for New London. For two months
we remained in New London. While here I was severely bitten
by a squirrel, and nearly lost my life by a fall. My skull was frac-
tured, and it was some time before 1 recovered. In December our
captain resigned for a more important charge, and. under command
of another, we sailed for the West Indies. Through the winter we
cruised about the islands, captured four prizes, which safely arrived
at the several ports to which they were sent. In the following
spring we returned to New Bedford, when I and a number of others
applied for a discharge. Some time alter this the Defense was
ordered to Boston, to be cut in two and lengthened. We were
discharged, and in the early summer I returned to my parents, after
an absence of thirteen months, and for the services rendered in the
Defense at this early age I am now receiving a pension.
•After remaining at home three or four months 1 found a num-
ber of my associates were joining a company in Fail-Held, to go to
New London to a privateer that was being fitted out, and I resolved
at once to go. I knew my parents would not willingly give their
consent to my going, so in the evening I bundled up a few clothes
and threw them to the ground from the chamber window, mingled
again with the family, and as opportunity offered walked out, took
up my clothes and went to Fairfield, where I joined the company
and repaired to Black Rock, thence to New London. We soon
went to sea, and, as we fell in with no vessels, concluded to repair
to the Western Islands and intercept vessels bound for Quebec.
Shortly after we captured a British vessel bound for this port, and
ordered her back to New Bedford. I was one of the crew put on
board. It was thirty-nine days before we made land, and for thir-
teen days were in want of provisions, subsisting mostly on English
damaged biscuit boiled in beer. (The arrival of the brig safely
seemed almost a miracle, after passing by all the British ports, and
not meeting with a single British sail.) Shortly after this I took
passage in a privateer sloop for New London. Having arrived
here, and ashamed to go home, having earned nothing', I enlisted in
the Brig Nancy, and sailed, on the first of November, for the West
Indies. After cruising for some time without success we sailed
for Cayenne, on the Surinam coast. Much time was spent hei'e.
We, however, resumed the cruise1 on the first of January. Off
Antigua we were run down by what we supposed was a British
BULKELEY FAMILY. 203
vessel, but which, proved to be the American privateer, Bunker Hill,
from Boston. This unlucky mistake broke up our cruise, and we
bore up for home, arriving at New London in about fifteen days,
after a cruise of five months. Here we found the Defense, bound
for Fairfield, and I with a number of our crew took passage in her
for Black Rock, not, however, to reach the latter place in this ves-
sel, for we went back to New London. The ship brought up on a
reef and was lost, and again I started for home in a galley. Ar-
riving at Black Rock I gathered up my clothes and started for
home, with a full determination to follow some other business
beside privateering for the future. I was joyfully welcomed, not-
withstanding my two last years had given my parents so much
trouble and anxiety. My time now was mostly employed in going
to school, and taking vacancies to keep guard.
" At the beginning of the year 1779, I enlisted with a company
of forty men under command of Capt. E. Thorp. The guard was
stationed close to the beach on the east side of Kinsey's Point;
night only required close watch. But on the 7th of July, stand-
ing alone on the place now occupied by Oliver Perry, Esq., I saw
two hundred British land on the hill opposite. They at once com-
menced the burning of Fairfield.
"At the opening of the year 1780 my time expired, and for this
land service I am receiving a pension (1841) which, with my year's
sea service, is termed a full pension. In April, 1780, I sailed
for Nantucket with Capt. Stephen Thorp, where I with his consent,
enlisted for a cruise to the "West Indies. At Providence we found
our vessel ready for sea. We sailed the 20th of April for the
island of Cuba. About the middle of May, when approaching our
destination, the ship brought suddenly oh a sunken reef, but by
the Captain's stratagem was saved, and we again made sail for
Hispaniola, entering in two or three days the harbor of St. Francis.
Here we repaired damages. This incessant labor caused much
sickness. I was brought very low with intermittent fever. Capt.
Gardiner was very kind to me, showing a father's solicitude for
me. I still grew weaker, and all hopes of recovery were given up.
I thought if I could be at home, I should die content, but the idea
of breathing my last in a foreign land, was most painful. A phy-
sician brought on board by the Captain, left a vial with my attend-
ant, telling him to give me a few drops in water every half hour.
Upon taking the first spoonful, it seemed to me like fire through
my whole system, giving new life and animation, and I recovered

slowly from that very hour, and in two or three weeks could walk
about deck with assistance. On the first of July we sailed for Phil-
adelphia, and on the morning of the fifteenth arrived off Cape Hen-
lopen. All were in high spirits, expecting to be in Philadelphia
that night. While waiting for a pilot we were boarded and taken
possession of by two schooners of New York. The captors of-
fered our crew their liberty if they would assist in getting the
" Sally " afloat, (for she had been aground on a place called the
Sheer,) they gladly accepted the proposal. Being still feeble, I
lay in my berth. One of the Refugees ordered me on deck ; as
I was ascending the companion way slowly the ruffian aimed a
blow at me with a lynch staff which just grazed my side. About
sun-down, I, with the rest of the sick, were put in a boat and shoved
off from the " Sally," and landed on Cape Henlopen beach; drag-
ging our boat across the beach into Lewiston Creek, we rowed up
to Lewiston, where we arrived at 10 o'clock at night. In the
morning a sailor kindly gave me a straw hat, which was very
acceptable, as I had nothing to screen my head from the scorching
sun. I went across the street on to an eminence, to see if I could
discover any signs of the "Sally" and her captors; not one of
them was to be seen. I learned afterwards, that after getting the
" Sally " afloat, the refugees violated their promise to liberate the
crew, confined them in a prison ship in New York, where nearly
all of them died.
" As I stood upon the hill looking for my lost comrades, my feel-
ings can be better imagined than described. It was a beautiful
morning, about wheat harvest, the level fields covered with grain
as far as the eye could reach, the birds singing, the quails whist-
ling, and all nature seemed joyous; I alone was miserable, enfeebled
by my long sickness, without friends or money, far from home,
my shipmates all gone, despair overcame me, and I burst into
tears. Recovering my spirits after a while, I returned to the
village; the landlady gave me a bowl of bread and milk, the first
food I had tasted since leaving the ship. The pilot who brought
us ashore took me with him to Cape May, where was his home,
and brought me to the Pilots' hotel, kept by Mr. Buck, making
known to him my circumstances. Mr. Buck welcomed me with
much kindness, telling me to stay with him till I was fully recov-
ered. I remained with him nearly three weeks, and being now
quite well again, I determined to return to Philadelphia. On
taking leave of Mr. Buck and his family, I expressed my fears
BULKELEY FAMILY. 205
that I might never be able to make him any return for his kind-
ness and attention to me. He replied, " You may yet become a
useful member of society, if you do, and you meet a person in dis-
tress, relieve him, and in that way you will recompense me."
Some months afterwards I bought in St. Thomas, a set of China,
as a present for Mrs. Buck. I sent it by one of our crew, who
proved to be a thief, and never delivered it. While in Philadel-
phia I agreed to go with Gapt. Mathews in his market boat, and
made three trips with him. When being fully recovered in health,
I shipped in Brig Joanna for St. Thomas, for $40 the run. After
a short passage, we arrived at St. Thomas. Our return cargo was
salt; each of the crew had the privilege of 4 bags (8 bushels) to
be sold for their benefit in Philadelphia. After a passage of six
or seven weeks we reached Philadelphia, and on discharging the
cargo my bags of salt were missing. This was a serious loss to me,
as it cost little, and then sold for four dollars a bushel. I after-
wards learned that the same rascal to whom I entrusted the set of
China for Mrs. Buck, had stolen my bags of salt, and sold them in
the night. I received the wages for my last voyage, deducting
the physician's bill at St. Thomas, and after a few days shipped on
a brig; for Havana. With what I had saved and a month's ad-
vance, I laid out $40 for flour, cheese, and apples, on my own
account. In 15 days we anchored in Havana. Our cargo was in
great demand ; flour $20 per barrel, cheese 75 cents a pound, and
other articles in proportion. I bought from a boat having such
articles for sale, a powder-horn made in the "Moro Castle," on
which was a representation of the Spanish Crown, the Castle, and
vessels going in and out of the harbor of Havana, which I gave to
my grand-daughter, Mary Josephine Bulkeley, in 1841, having
owned it myself sixty years. We sailed from Havana, and on the
20 th of February, after an absence of three months, arrived in
Philadelphia. On settling up my voyage I found myself in pos-
session of over $100. After providing myself with necessary
clothing, still having $80 in silver, I turned my thoughts home-
wards. At Kings Ferry, fifty miles above New York, on my
way home, I met an old acquaintance, Gershom Bulkeley, whom
I accompanied to Mill River, arriving at home on the first
of April, after an absence of a year. Remaining two weeks at
home, I went to Boston with Capt. Peters, discharged cargo, and
returned to Middletown, when I took my discharge, and walked
to Black Rock in one day. Through the summer of 1781, I was
206 BULKELEY FAMILY.
engaged on a small Brig owned by the inhabitants of "Mill
River."
"Early in 1782, I went with Capt. Stephen Thorp to Rhode Isl-
and, and continued in the same vessel through the summer. In
the autumn I visited my uncle Moses Bulkeley, who lived back in
the country, and bought of him the land on which I now live,
(1841,) for fifty dollars. In December I joined one of the boats
from Fairfield, in a projected expedition to take some British forts
on Long Island. From this time until peace was declared in the
following spring, I was engaged in no affair of particular moment.
"In April, 1783, news of peace arrived, which caused great re-
joicing. Everybody was anxious to visit New York, which had
been in possession of the enemy seven years. I went in April.
While there, I engaged to go to New Providence in a small sloop
owned by George Brown. We arrived safely in New Providence,
disposed of our cargo, took in a return cargo, and started again
for New York. I was now put in charge of the sloop, and sailed
for Nova Scotia, taking with me Gapt. Brown and wife, and a
number of his friends. A part of my passengers, and himself and
wife landed at Granville, and put up temporary houses. After-
ward Capt. Brown laid out a town at Beaver's Harbor, and urged
me to take a lot. I declined at first, but he insisting, I accepted
one, and gave James Tucker a power of attorney with ten dollars
to take care of it for me, but I never went there again to claim it.
In September we sailed for Boston, remained there a few days, and
in October sailed again for Nova Scotia. Here the sloop was laid
up for the winter, but thinking it would not do to be idle long, I
made a voyage to Boston, returning to Nova Scotia in 1784, the
beginning of the year. I remained three months, visiting the
families I had brought here. May following made a voyage to
Boston, and in July one to New York. In August, after a monthly
visit in the Bay, I sailed again for New York, taking with me
Capt. Brown and his family, who had sold out in Nova Scotia.
We arrived in October. We sailed the same month for Jamaica ;
a few days out experienced severe weather. Coming up with
Turks Island, as I was asleep in the cabin, I dreamed that I saw
land and reefs of rocks ahead. Waking suddenly, visibly im-
pressed with my dream, I hurried on deck, and found the vessel
running directly for the land and reefs just as they had appeared
in my dream. She would undoubtedly have run ashore in a few
minutes had I not in this singular manner been warned of our
BTLKELEY FAMILY. 207
danger. Arriving safely at Kingston, we discharged our cargo in
three weeks, and in November cleared for New York, arriving
there the 5th of January, 1785. On settling with the owners for
my services there was due me for the last nineteen months $200,
which Capt. Brown paid me in gold, one of which pieces 1 have
always I'etained. I now returned home, where I remained six
weeks, hut not contented to remain longer idle, I engaged as mate
with Capt. Joseph Bartram, and made a voyage in a sloop to North
Carolina; returned home in April. 1 was now solicited by Miah
Perry to take part of a vessel with him, which I concluded to do.
< )n one occasion, when Mr. Perry and I were in Marblehead with
a cargo of flax, we were swindled out of about $100 worth of it
by one whom we thought would help us sell it. We felt quite sore
at our loss, as it, was the commencement of our coasting business.
1 continued in the same business during the summer of 17S">.
between Mill River, New York, and New Haven. In the autumn
of this year I was married to Mary Ogden, daughter of Jonathan
Ogden, who died in 1775, when she was only live years old. He
would often call her to him and say. • My poor Polly, what will
become of you'.'''
"In the spring of 1786 I built a house, which is still standing
near where I now live. In the autumn Mr. Perry and I dissolved
all further connection in the way of business. Unaccustomed to
idle habits, I went as mate in a brig to Point Peter, about sixty
miles from Cape Francis. We lay here three months, returning to
Black Rock in April, 1787. In the spring of this year I bought
out Miah Perry's part of the sloop, and continued in the coasting
trade the next year: sold out soon after, and bought part of an-
other vessel. Continuing this business for a time I increased my
vessel property as means would allow, and as my sons grew up
placed them in business with myself, and so have continued, father
and sons being equally united."
Thus originated the shipping firm of E. Bulkeley & Sons, of
New York, which has continued from that date (1788) until the
present time — nearly a century. He died February 5, 1843, and
for his benevolence and goodness of heart those can testify who
knew him best. His mind was ever active. As a patriot and
republican of the -'old school" he took a lively interest in the per-
petuity and welfare of his country, the independence of which he
had in some small measure contributed to establish. After the
close of the war he was actively engaged in commercial business
with his sons until his death.

APPENDIX
THE LIFE OF REV. PETER BULKLY.
BY THE REV. COTTON MATHER, D. D., F. R. S.
Ipse Aspectus Boni viri delectat. — Sen.*
81. It has been a matter of some reflection that among the
pretended successors of Saint Peter there never was any Pope that
would pretend unto the name of Peter; but if any of them had
been christened by that name at the font, they afterwards changed
it when they came unto the chair. No doubt, as Raphael Urbine,
the famous painter, being taxed for making the face in the picture
of Peter too red, replied, He did it on purpose, that he might rep-
resent the apostle blushing in heaven to see what successors he had
on earth : so these infamous apostates might blush to hear them-
selves called Peter, while they are conscious unto themselves of
their being strangers to- all the vertues of that great apostle. But
the denomination of Peter might be with an everlasting agreeable-
ness claimed by our eminent Bulkly, who, according to the spirit
and counsel of Peter, "fed the flock of God among us, taking the
oversight thereof not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy
lucre, but of a willing mind."
§ 2. He was descended of an honourable family in Bedford-
shire, where for many successive generations the names of Edward
and Peter were alternatively worn by the heirs of the family. His
father was Edward Bulkly, D. D., a faithful minister of the gospel;
the same whom we find making a supplement unto the last volume
of our books of martyrs. He was born at Woodhil, (or Odel,) in
Bedfordshire, January 31st, 1582.
* The very looks of a good man are a source of pleasure.
248 APPENDIX.
His education was answerable unto his original; it was learned,
it was genteel, and, which was the top of all, it was very pious : at
length it made him a Batchellor of Divinity, and Fellow of Saint
John's Colledge in Cambridge, the colledge whereinto he had been
admitted about the sixteenth year of his age; and it was while he
was but a, junior batchellor that he was chosen a fellow.
§ 3. When he came abroad in the world a good benefice befel
him, added unto the estate of a gentleman, left him by his father,
whom he succeeded in his ministry at the place of his nativity,
which one would imagine temptations enough to keep him out of a
wilderness.
Nevertheless, the concern which his renewed soul had for the pure
worship of our Lord Jesus Christ, and for the planting of evangeli-
cal churches to exercise that worship, caused him to leave and sell
all, in hopes of gaining the "pearl of great price" among those
that first peopled New-England upon those glorious ends. It was
not long that he continued in conformity to the ceremonies of the
church of England; but the good Bishop of Lincoln connived at
his non-conformity, (as he did at his father's,) and he lived an un-
molested non-conformist until he had been three prentice-ships of
years in his ministry. Towards the latter end of this time his min-
istry had a notable success in the conversion of many unto God ;
and this was one occasion of a latter end for this time. "When Sir
Nathanael Brent was Arch-Bishop Laud's General, as Arch-Bishop
Laud was another's, complaints were made against Mr. Bulkly for
his non-conformity, and he was therefore silenced.
§ 4. To New-England he therefore came, in the year 1635 ; and
there having been for a while at Cambridge, he* carried a good
number of planters with him, up further into the woods, where they
gathered the twelfth church then formed in the colony, and called
the town by the name of Concord.
Here he buried a great estate, while he raised one still for almost
every person whom he employed in the affairs of his husbandry.
He had many and godly servants, whom, after they had lived with
him a fit number of years, he still dismissed with bestowing farms
upon them, and so took others after the like manner, to succeed
them in their service and his kindness. Thus he cast his bread both
upon the waters and into the earth, not expecting the return of
this his charity to a religious plantation until "after many days."
§ 5. He was a most excellent scholar, a very well-read person,
and one who, in his advice to young students, gave demonstrations
APPENDIX. 249
that he knew what would go to make a scholar. But it being
essential unto a scholar to love a scholar, so did he; and in token
thereof endowed the library of Harvard -Colledge with no small
part of his own.
And he was therewithal a most exalted Christian, full of those
devotions which accompany a "conversation in heaven;" especially,
so exact a Sabbath-keeper, that if at any time he had been asked
" whether he had strictly kept the Sabbath?" he would have replied,
" Christianus sum, intermittere non possum."* And conscientious, even
to a degree of scrupulosity. That scrupulosity appeared particularly
in his avoiding all novelties of apparel, and the cutting of hair so
close, that of all the famous namesakes he had in the world, he
could have least born the sir-name of that well known author, Pe-
•trus Crinitus.f
§ 6. It was observed that his neighbours hardly ever came into
his company, but whatever business he had been talking of, he
would let fall some holy, serious, divine, and useful sentences upon
them, ere they parted: an example many ways worthy to be imi-
tated by every one that is called a minister of the gospel.
In his ministry he was another Farel, Quo Nemo tonuit fortius.^
He was very laborious, and because he was, through some infirmities
of body, not so able to visit his flock, and instruct them from house
to house, he added unto his other publick labours on the Lord's
days, that of constant catechising; wherein, after all the unmarried
people had answered, all the people of the whole assembly were
edified by his expositions and applications.
His first sermon was on Rom. i. 16: "I am not ashamed of the
gospel of Christ." At Odel he preached on part of the prophecy
of Isaiah, and part of Jonah, and a great part of the gospel of
Matthew, and of Luke, the Epistles to the Philippians, and of
Peter, and of Jude, besides many other scriptures. At Concord
he preached over the illustrious truths about the person, the natures,
the offices of Christ; [what would he have said if he had lived unto
this evil day, when 'tis counted good advice for a minister of the
gospel "not to preach much on the person of Christ?"] the greatest
part of the book of Psalms; the conversion of Zacheus; Paul's
commission, in Acts xxvi. 18. His death found him handling the

% Than whom no one thundered louder.

commandments, and John xvi. 7, 8, 9. He expounded Mr. Perkins
his six principles, whereto he added a seventh, and examined the
young people, what they understood and remembered of his
exposition.
Moreover, by a sort of winning, and yet prudent familiarity, he
drew persons of all ages in his congregation to come and sit with
him when he could not go and sit with them; whereby he had
opportunity to do the part of a faithful pastor in considering the
state of his flock.
Such was his pious conduct that he was had much in reverence
by his people; and when at any time he was either hasty in speaking
to such as were about him, whereto he was disposed by his bodily
pains, or severe in preaching against some things that others thought
were no way momentous, whereto the great exactness of his piety
inclined him ; yet those little stinginesses took not away the interests
which he had in their hearts; they "knowing him to be a just man,
and an holy, observed him."
And the observance which his own people had for him was also
paid him from all sorts of people throughout the land ; but espe-
cially from the ministers of the country, who would still address
him as a father, a prophet, a counsellor, on all occasions.
§ 8. Upon his importunate pressing a piece of charity, disagree-
able to the will of the ruling elder, there was occasioned an unhappy
discord in the church of Concord ; which yet was at last healed by
their calling in the help of a council, and the ruling elder's abdica-
tion. Of the temptations which occurred on these occasions, Mr.
Bulkly would say, "He thereby came — 1, To know more of God;
2, To know more of himself; 3, To know more of men." Peace
being thus restored, the small things in the beginning of the church
there increased in the hands of their faithful Bulkly, until he was
translated into the regions which afford nothing but concord and
glory, leaving his well-fed "flock in the wilderness" unto the pas-
toral care of his worthy son, Mr. Edward Bulkly.
§ 9. It is remarked that a man's whole religion is according to
his acquaintance with the new covenant. If, then, any person would
know what Mr. Peter Bulkly was, let him read his judicious and
savoury treatise of the gospel covenant, which has passed through
several editions with much acceptance among the people of God.
Quickly after his first coming into this country he preached many
sermons on Zech. ix. 11: "The blood of thy covenant." The im-
portunity of his congregation prevailed with him to preach this
APPENDIX. 251
doctrine of the covenant over again in his lectures, and fit it for
the press. He did accordingly ; and of that book the well known
Mr. Shepard, of Cambridge, has given this testimony: "The church
of God is bound to bless God for the holy, judicious and learned
labours of this aged, experienced, and precious servant of Jesus
Christ, who hath taken much pains to discover, and that not in
words and allegories, but in the demonstration and evidence of the
spirit, the great mystery of godliness wrapt up in the covenant; and
hath now fully opened many knotty questions concerning the same,
which happily have not been brought so full to light until now,
which cannot but be of singular and seasonable use to prevent
apostasies from the simplicity of the covenant and gospel of Christ."
§ 10. Having offered this particular account of a book which is
to be reckoned among the first-born of New-England, I may not
forbear doing my country the service of extracting from it one
paragraph, which we may reckon the dying charge of a Moses to
an Israel in a wilderness:
"And thou, New-England, which art exalted in priviledges of the gospel above
many other people, know thou the ' time of thy visitation,' and consider the great
things the Lord hath done for thee. The gospel hath free passage in all places
where thou dwellest; Oh ! that it might be glorified also by thee! Thou enjoyest
many faithful witnesses, which have testified unto thee the gospel of the grace of
God. Thou hast many bright stars shining in thy firmament, to give thee the
' knowledge of salvation from on high, to guide thy feet in the way of peace.'
Be not high-minded because of thy priviledges, but fear because of thy danger.
The more thou hast committed unto thee, the more thou must account for. No
people's account will be heavier than thine, if thou do not walk worthy of the
means of thy salvation. The Lord looks for more from thee than from other
people — more zeal for God, more love to his truth, more justice and equity in thy
ways. Thou shouldest be a special people, an only people, none like thee in all
the earth. Oh ! be so, in loving the gospel, and the ministers of it, having them
in ' singular love for their work's sake. '
"Glorifie thou the word of the Lord, which has glorified thee. Take heed, least
for neglect of either, God 'remove thy candlestick' out of the midst of thee;
lest being now 'as a city upon an hill, which many seek unto, thou be left 'like
a beacon upon the top of a mountain, ' desolate and forsaken. If we walk un-
worthy of the gospel brought unto us, the greater our mercy hath been in the
enjoying of it, the greater will our judgment be for the contempt."
§ 11. His first wife was the daughter of Mr. Thomas Allen, of
Goldington, a most vertuous gentlewoman, whose nephew was the
Lord Mayor of London, Sir Thomas Allen. By her he had nine
sons and two daughters. After her death he lived eight years a
widdower, and then married a vertuous daughter of Sir Richard
Chitwood, by whom he had three sons and one daughter.
252 APPENDIX.
Age at length creeping on him, he grew much afraid of out-living
his work ; and his fear he thus expressed in a short epigram, com-
posed March 25, 1657:
Pigra senectutis jam venit inutilis setas,
Nil aliud nunc sum quam fere pondus iners.
Da tamen, Alme Deus, dum vivam, vivere laudi
iEternum sancti Nominis usque Tui.
Ne vivam (moriar potius!) nil utile Agendo:
Finiat opto magis, mors properata Dies.
Vel doceam in Sancto Csetu tua verba salutis,
Caalestive canam Cantica sacra Choro ;
Seu vivam, moriarve, tuus sim, Christe, quod uni
Debit mea est, debita morsque tibi.*
He was ill as well as old when he writ these verses, but God
granted him his desire. He recovered, and preached near two
years after this, and then expired, March 9, 1658-9, in the seventy-
seventh year of his age.
§ 12. The epigram newly mentioned invites me to remember
that he had a competently good stroke at Latin poetry, and even
in his old age affected sometimes to improve it. Many of his com-
posures are yet in our hands. One was written on his Birth-day,
June 31st, 1654:
Ultimus iste Dies Mensis, mihi primus habetur;
Quo csepi lucem cernere primus erat.
Septuaginta duos Annos exinde peregi.
Atque tot Annorum est Ultimus iste Dies.
Praeterito Veteri jum nunc novus incipit Annus
0 utinam mihi sit mens nova, vita nova.t
* I've reached the evening of my mortal day ;
A sluggish mass of clay is this my frame ;
Yet grant, O God, that while I live, I may
Live to the glory of Thy holy name.
And if in life I may not honour Thee,
From such dishonour may Death set me free.
Whether within Thy holy courts below
I preach salvation unto dying men —
Or in Thine Upper Temple, with the flow
Of angel-quirings blend my raptured strain —
Living or dying, Thine I still would be:
My life and death alike are due to Thee.
t This last day of the month is first to me,
For with it dawning life began to be.
Nor have its mild returns been slow or few :
Of seventy -two long years this is the last ;
A new year now begins, the old year passed ;
Oh may my heart and life be also new !
APPENDIX. 253
Another of them was written on an earthquake, October 29,
1653:
Ecce Dei nutu tellus pavefacta tremescit,
Terra Tremens mota est sedibus ipsa suis,
Nutant Fulcra Orbis, mundi compago saluta est;
Ex vultu irati contremit ille Dei.
Contremuit tellus, imis concussa Cavernis,
Ponderibus quanquam sit gravis ilia suis.
Evomit ore putres niagno cum murmure ventos,
Quos in visceribus clauserat ante suis.
Ipsa tremit Tellus scelerum gravitate vivorum,
Sub sceleris nostri pondere Terra tremit.
O nos quam duri ! Sunt ferrea pectora nobis ;
Non etenim gemimus cum gemit omne solum.
Quis te non metuit, metuit quem Fabrica munda
Quemque timent cseli, terraque tota tremit.
Motibus a Tantis nunc tandem terra quiescat,
Sed cessent potius crimina nostra precor.*
The rest we will bury with him, under this
EPITAPH.
Obiit jam qui jamdudum abierat Bulklmus ;
Nee Patriam ille mutavit, nee paene vitam ;
Ed ivit, quo ire consueverat, et ubi jam erat.t
* Tbe solid earth, before an angry God,
Shakes at the terrors of His awful nod.
The balance of the mighty world is lost —
Its vast foundations, in confusion toss'd,
Through all the hollows of its deepest caves
Rock like a vessel foundering in the waves.
Volumes of sulphurous air, with booming sound,
Burst through the gorges of the parted ground.
The earth doth heave with groanings of distress,
Beneath the weight of human sinfulness.
Shall not our eyes drop penitential rain,
When all creation travaileth in pain ?
Great God ! who shall not fear Thee in the hour
When heaven and earth are trembling at thy power!
Father, to nature's tumult whisper peace,
And bid the wickedness of man to cease !
t Bulklt hath left us for a happier shore —
Nay, rather lingers where he was before.
He ne'er hath slept beneath this humble sod,
For both in life and death he was with God.
