I  believe  every  person  in  the  world  named  Candee  is 
descended  from  Zaccheus  Cande,  found  in  xS^ew  Haven, 
Connecticut,  in  1670.  If  any  person  who  sees  this  book 
will  send  me  such  information  as  they  may  have  of 
male  or  female  descendants,  in  addition  to  that  herein, 
I  will  see  that  it  is  preserved  for  the  use  of  every  inter- 
ested person.  My  sketches  of  the  individual  Candees 
are  brief,  partly  because  they  have  been  a  quiet,  though 
a  very  reputable  race,  and  partly  because,  at  my  distance 
from  Connecticut,  minute  study  of  them  is  not  easy. 

My  thanks  are  due  to  the  following  persons,  not  con- 
nected with  the  family :  Rev.  Samuel  Orcutt,  of  l^ew 
Milford,  Connecticut;  Alvan  Talcott,  M.  D.,  of  Guil- 
ford, Connecticut;  Hon.  L.  M.  Boltwood,  of  !N'ew  Haven, 
Connecticut;  and  Dr.  Joseph  C.  Pynchon,  of  Spring- 
field, Massachusetts.     Other  acknowledgments  will  be 


found  in  the  text.

All  have  a  number  by  which  they  can  be  traced,  backward  and  for- 
ward. The  name  of  each  one  whose  history  is  continued  appears  in 
heavy  type,  and  is  followed  by  a  plus  mark.  Thus,  on  page  seven 
we  find: 

5.    ^amwtl,  born  July  24,   1678  + 

His  family  and  further  history  is  on  page  11.

1.  3acrljJJU0  ffaitb^,  settled  in  Kew  Haven,  Con- 
necticut. His  name  is  spelled  in  the  early  records 
Kembee,  Kambee,  Canbee,  Candee,  but  generally  Cande. 
When  married,  he  is  called  Cambee ;  his  wife,  Bristow. 
His  daughter  Rebecca  is  daughter  of  Kembee ;  Zaccheus 
is  son  of  Candee ;  Abigail,  daughter  of  Cande.  His 
children  are  generally  called  Cande.  His  grandson  Sam- 
uel appears  in  New  Haven  Probate  Eecords  as  Candy — 
so  far  as  I  know,  a  solitary  instance.  In  the  Town  Eec- 
ords of  Stratford,  Vol.  1,  page  69,  is  a  deed  from  Thomas 
Sherwood  to  John  Burritt,  witnessed  by  Zaccheus  Canby 
or  Conby.  It  is  perhaps  impossible,  at  this  date,  to  tell 
whether  a  or  o  was  intended.  The  other  witness  is 
Daniel  Gun.  The  deed  is  dated  May  17,  1675,  and 
marked:  "Exactly  recorded  from  y^  originall." 

On  his  tombstone,  still  extant  in  West  Haven,  he  is 
called  Zachariah:  "Here  lies  y"-'  body  of  Mr.  Zachariah 
Cande,  died  1720,  aged  80  years."  By  his  side  lies  his 
wife :  "  Here  lies  y'^  body  of  Mrs.  Rebekali  Canbe,  wife 
of  Mr.  Zachariah  Cande,  died  Sepf'y*^  22^»'1739,  aged  91 
years."  This  would  make  him  born  about  1640.  He 
tirst  appears  iu  New  Haven,  as  marrying,  December  5, 
1670,  Rebecca  Bristow,  daughter  of  Henry  Bristow,  or 
rather  Bristol,  of  New  Haven.     She  was  born  February

4,  1650,  and  age  overdated  on  her  tombstone — a  circum- 
stance not  unusual. 

Mr.  Orcutt  (from  her  tombstone  no  doubt)  says  she 
died  September  22,  1739,  aged  91.  Zaccheus  lived  and 
died  in  West  Haven,  probably  at  the  southeast  corner 
of  the  Green,  where,  down  to  a  late  day,  remained  the 
dwelling  of  his  son  Samuel.     They  had  children: 

3.  Rebecca,  born  December  22,  1671. 

3.  Hannah,  bom  November  14,  1673. 

4.  3arcl)rU0,  born  January  5,  1674.  + 

5.  Samurl,  born  July  24,  1678. + 

6.  Mary,  born  February  18,  1680. 

7.  Desyer,  born  October  20,  1686.  ^ 

8.  Abigail,  born  April,  1689. 

William  L.  Candee,  Esq.,  of  Milwaukee,  says  in  refer- 
ence to  the  name  (March,  1879  :)  "  I  early  wrote  my  name 
with  one  e.  In  1814,  I  was  a  Surgeon  in  the  army  sta- 
tioned at  Kew  York,  where  many  pronounced  my  name 
Kand ;  and  to  oblige  them  to  make  two  syllables  of  it. 
I  added  an  extra  e.  I  think  my  cousin,  Sheldon  Candee, 
did  the  same.  He  met,  some  years  since,  a  gentleman 
of  Dutch  descent,  whose  ancestors  went  from  France 
and  to  the  Huguenots.  He  considered  the  name  Cande 
the  same  as  that  of  his  ancestors. 

William  L.  states,  in  a  subsequent  letter,  that  the 
tradition  he  got  from  his  father  and  uncles — all  of 
whom  he  knew,  except  Gideon — was,  that  two  brothers 
came  from  England  (not  Scotland),  and  stopped  at 
Hartford.  One  went  South;  the  other  remained,  which 
may  be  the  Zaccheus  Cande    at   New   Haven,   or   his

father :  and  that  there  were  persons  named  Cande 
liviug  in  Charleston  in  1820,  not  known  as  of  this 
family.  The  name  is  variously  written,  and  he  has 
seen  letters  from  his  uncle  spelled  dy.  He  hases  the 
French  descent,  not  on  tradition,  but  on  '^historical 
facts.'*  He  thinks,  though  they  came  from  England, 
thev  Avere  not  Euo^lishmen.  He  remembers  hearins: 
nothing  of  the  tradition  as  to  nationality  from  his 
father  or  his  uncles.  He  thinks  there  is  also  a  na- 
tional resemblance.  There  seems  little  direct  evidence 
as  to  the  national  orio^in  of  the  familv.  From  the  s^en- 
eral  impression  in  the  family,  that  the  ancestor,  though 
likely  from  Eugland.  was  there  from  France,  either 
himself  or  his  ancestors,  as  Huguenot  refugees :  from  the 
unusual  form  of  the  uame,  the  ib^I^'  wa3'S  in  which  it 
is  spelled,  as  if  it  were  a  foreign  name,  I  am  inclined  to 
think  the  general  view  of  the  o^ngin  of  the  family  cor- 
rect— excluding,  of  course,  all  belief  in  the  descent  from 
Prince  de  Conde,  etc.,  etc."^ 

In  possession  of  Mrs.  Adeline  Weir,  of  Xew  Haven, 
(daughter  Levi."  Caleb,"*)  is  a  coat  of  arms,  with  the 
following  inscription,  quoted  verbatim: 

* '  The  family  of  Candy  is  of  French  extraction.     Jean  ile  Candee,  a 
* ' '  friend  and.  follower  of  the  celebrated  Admiral  of  France,  Coligny,  was 

*I  learn  from  Dr.  J.  C.  Smith,  that  in  Hanson's  "Old  Kent,"  in  Maryland,  is  the  follow- 
ing: "Alexander  Contee,  who  with  his  uncle  John  Contee  emijrrated  to  Maryland,  and 
settled  in  Prince  Georg^e's  County.  Alexander  Contee,  bapt.  'ye  22  day  of  April,  1G08, 
was  the  son  of  Peter  and  Catharine  Contee,  who  lived  in  Barnstable,  Devonshire,  England. 
The  family  came  originally  from  Rochelle,  France,  and  being  Protestants,  emigrated  to 
England  during  the  reign  of  Louis  XIV.  Adolph  de  Contee  w^as  High  Sheriff  of  London 
and  Middlesex,  in  1643."

' '  with  him  at  the  period  of  the  massacre  of  St.  Bartholomew  (1573),  and 
' '  was  among  the  very  few  Protestants  who  escaped  that  butchery.  He 
' '  went  to  England,  and  was  provided  for  by  Queen  Elizabeth  (1558- 
'  ■  1603).  His  grandson,  John  Candee,  came  to  the  New  England  Colony 
"  in  1639,  and  settled  at  Boston,  whence  he  removed  to  Windsor  in  1650. 
"  The  arms  are  argent  (white);  a  lion  rampant  azure  (blue),  holding  an 
"escallop  shell  or  (gold),  in  chief  three  golphs  (red  balls);  crest,  a  stag's 
' '  head,  erased  (tore  off),  ermined  horned,  on  gold.  The  lion  rampant 
' '  shows  that  an  ancestor  had  been  commander  during  a  victory ;  the 
"  escallop  shell  shows  it  to  have  been  during  the  Crusades  in  Palestine." 
piade  for  Adeline  Candee  Weir,  of  Xew  Haven,  by  a  guest  of  the 
house,  from  records  she  furnished.  ] 

In  Burke's  "General  Armory,"  I  liud  arms  Coiidie, 
ar.  3  cinque  foils  in  pale  gu,  between  two  palets  azure, 
on  a  chief  vert  a  lion  pass,  of  the  field.  Crest:  on  a 
ducal  coronet  or,  a  lion  pass,  azure. 

These  arms  are  enough  like  Mrs.  Weir's  to  suggest 
the  source  whence  her's  came.* 

The  name  Candy  is  not  unknown  in  England.  It  is 
common  in  Philadelphia;  and  I  have  met  another  family 
one  from  near  Manchester,  in  England.  Mr.  Lower,  in 
his  book  on  "Surnames,"  derives  Candy  from  an  island 
in  Essex.     It  is  doubtful  whether  one  will  ever  be  able 

*  In  an  old  volume  of  the  "New  England  Genealo^dcal  Reg^ister"  is  a  note  from  the  late 
A.  J.  Skilton,  M.D.,  Troy,  New  York,  as  follows: 

"It  is  traditionally  stated  that  the  Candee  family  of  New  England  is  of  French  extrac- 
tion. It  has  been  said  that  the  family  is  descended  from  John  Condy,  who  resided  in  or 
near  Boston  from  1639  to  1650,  and  then  left  for  Connnecticut ;  that  he  was  a  grandson  of 
Jean  de  Conde,  a  soldier  under  Admiral  Coligny.  I  am  de.sirous  to  know  if  there  is  any 
record  showing  an  older  member  of  the  family  than  Samuel  Condy  (or  Candy),  of  Marble- 
head,  1664." 

I  have  failed  to  find  any  evidence  of  this  tratlitioii,  unless  that  part  which  makes  the 
family  originally  of  French  extraction.

to  trace  the  Candees  to  their  origin ;  but  the  many 
varieties  to  the  name,  and  the  non-English  form  of  it, 
give  color  to  tlie  tradition  that  they  were  French,  prob- 
ably tlirono^h  Eno:land.  Traditions  tend  to  fasten  on  to 
great  names. 

In  Saratoga  county,  Xew  York,  is  a  family  of  Conde, 
not  related  to  the  Candees  that  I  find.  Albert  Conde, 
of  Charlton,  died  October  1,  1850,  leaving  a  widow,  and 
children  Jesse,  Daniel  T.,  Henry  S.;  a  daughter,  formerly 
wife  of  Ichabod  L.  Judson ;  Eliza  Jones;  Catharine 
McKnight ;  Hester,  wife  of  Melancthon  Belding ;  and 
Alida  Ann  Wakeman,  and  a  grandchild,  daughter  of 
Susan  Spencer. 

The  New  York  Tribune,  of  June  8,  1877,  says: 

"The  venerable  Mr.  de  Coude,  who  died  on  Tuesday,  at  Ballston,  at 
"the  age  of  84,  was  a  lineal  descendant  of  the  Bourbon  Prince  de  Coude. 
"He  was  born  in  the  town  of  Charlton,  and  has  always  lived  in  the  county 
' '  of  Saratoga,  where  he  was  known  and  appreciated  as  an  intelligent  and 
"  useful  citizen." 

4.  3itrcljrU0,"  Zaccheus,^  born  in  West  Haven,  Con- 
necticut, January  5,  IQlj.  It  appears,  by  New  Haven 
Records,  that  he  married,  iS'ovember  19,  1702,  Sarah 
Lane.*  He  settled  in  Middletown,  Connecticut,  where 
he  died,  December  29,  1743,  aged  67.  His  wife  Sarah 
died  there,  September  30,  1737.  Her  epitaph  is:  "Here

These  children  appear  in  Middletown,  although  it 
would  seem  that  he  must  have  been  the  Zaecheus  in 
West  Haven  in  1729.  The  name  of  Zaccheus  appears 
frequently,  although  not  so  often  as  Samuel. 

5.  5<llUUrl,"  Zaccheus,^  born  in  West  Haven,  Con- 
necticut, July  24,  1678.  He  lived  and  died  in  West 
Haven,  at  the  southwest  corner  of  the  Green,  a  beautiful 
location,  as  Rev.  Mr.  Orcutt  very  rightly  says.  His  dwell- 
ing was  taken  down  in  1877.  The  first  entry  in  West 
Haven  about  him  is  in  1729,  when  Captain  Samuel  and 
Zaccheus  Candee,  with  several  others,  each  gave  six  shil- 
lings to  have  the  church  bell  rung  at  nine  o'clock  every 
night.  His  name  appears  on  almost  every  page  after  this. 
Many  times  it  was  stated,  that  on  account  of  the  severe 
cold,  it  was  voted  to  adjourn  the  Society  meetings  from 
the  church  to  Captain  Candee's  home.  He  it  was  (says 
Miss  Alice  Candee)  w^ho  also  gave  half  the  beautiful 
green,  where  our  church  now  stands,  to  the  Congre- 
gational Societv,  for  the  sake  of  having  the  "meeting 
house"  built  there,  instead  of  another  part  of  the  town 
where  many  wanted  it.

"A  family  which  has  been  represent€<l  in  the  Army  and  Navy  of  the  United  States  from 
the  verj-  earliest  periotl  in  the  history  of  this  coinitry,  furnishes  one  of  the  curiosities  of 
longevity  which  is  worthy  of  mention.  Early  in  the  sixteenth  century,  a  Ilufpaenot  family 
of  the  same  name  as  the  ^eat  Conde,  fled  from  France  and  took  up  their  residence  in  Scot- 
land. One  of  the  family  afterwards  emijrrated  to  America  and  .^ettlecl  in  Connecticut.  He 
had  a  son  Zacheus  Conde,  born  in  New  Haven  in  1640,  from  whom  all  those  bearing  the 
name  of  Candee  in  this  countrj-  are  descended.  It  was  a  hardy  race  of  a  mixture  of 
Huguenot  and  Puritan,  and  they  live<l  principall}-  in  the  township  of  Oxford,  in  New  Haven 
county.  One  of  them,  Caleb  by  name,  marrietl,  in  1742,  Lf>is  Mallory,  and  of  this  marriage 
were  Iwm  nine  sons,  one  of  whom  reached  the  age  of  94,  three  of  them  87,  one  ^,  one  83, 
one  76,  one  70,  and  one  69;  an  average  of  a  little  more  than  82  years.  The  youngest  of 
these  sons  was  the  grandfather  of  the  late  Daniel  Clark  and  of  Cyrus  H.  Clark,  of  New 
York,  and  of  Mrs.  Mary  Hazen,  of  Brooklyn.  The  seventh  son,  Neheniiah,  was  the  grand- 
father of  General  Innis  Palmer  and  Major  George  W.  Candee,  Paymaster  U.  S.  Army,  and 
the  great-grandfather  of  Mr<.  Dr.  Walter  K.  Schofield,  of  the  Na^y,  and  many  citizens 
of  New  York  and  vicinity.  He  ha*l  ten  children  who  lived  to  mature  age.  Three  of  them, 
viz:  Mr.  W.  L.  Candee,  of  Milwaukee,  now  i?i  his  89th  year;  Mrs.  Susan  Palmer,  mother  of 
General  Palmer,  in  her  sWth  year;  and  Mr.  G.  W.  Candee,  of  New  York,  in  his  87th  year. 
Those  of  this  family  who  have  <lied  attained  the  ages  respei-tively  of  92.  90,  82,  76,  74,  .t6 
and  53  years.  The  average  age  of  those  who  ha\  e  diefl  was  about  75  \  ears,  and  the  average 
age  of  those  still  liWng  is  a  little  more  than  88  years.  The  average  age  of  the  two  genera- 
tions, viz;^the  families  of  Caleb  and  Nehcmiah  (nineteen  children)  would  be  now  about  80 
years  and  3  months.    All  of  the  children  of  Caleb  were  boru  subjects  of  Great  Britain,

Jr.,  married  May  28,  1761,  Rebecca  Churchill,  or  as  the 

and  all  of  them,  we  believe,  served  in  the  Revolutionary  Annj'.  Neheniiah,  the  ancestor  of 
those  of  his  family  who  are  now  in  the  service,  served  at  Ticonderoga  when  blufif  old  Ethan 
Allen  was  in  command  of  the  forces  in  that  vicinity,  and  some  of  his  sons  served  in  the 
army  durinj,'  the  war  of  1812.  It  is  remarkable  that  the  s:reat  a?e  which  was  attained  by 
nearl.v  all  of  the  nineteen  children  and  the  parents  of  the  two  jrenerations  was,  with  one 
or  two  exceptions,  unaccompanied  by  the  loss  of  bo<lily  or  mental  faculties.  Those  of  them 
who  attained  the  frreatest  ajre  were  in  full  possession  of  their  bodily  health  and  their  power 
of  enjoyment  of  the  world  up  to  a  few  days  before  their  passing  away;  and  all  this  in  spite 
of  the  hard  toil  incident  to  the  clearing  up  of  farms  in  a  new  country.  Soon  after  the  close 
of  the  Revolutionary  War,  several  of  the  sons  of  Caleb  Candee  emigrated  from  Oxford  and 
settled  in  what  was  then  the  wilderness  of  New  York.  In  1793,  Mrs.  Palmer's  father  settled 
in  the  town  of  Gahvay,  Saratoga  county,  a  few  miles  from  Saratoga  Springs.  It  was  a 
heavily-timbered  country,  the  home  of  the  bear  and  the  deer.  The  sons  were  too  young 
^o  assist  the  father  in  ilearing  away  sufHcient  ground  on  which  to  place  a  log  house,  but 
the  men  of  the  little  colony  helped  each  other  at  their  "house  raisings,"  and  soon  comfort- 
able cottages,  or  rather  log  cabins  were  in  reailiness  for  the  pioneers  from  Connecticut. 
Here  were  passed  some  of  the  happiest  day c)  of  the  lives  of  this  singularly  long  lived  family: 
and  when,  about  thirty-five  jears  after  the  erection  of  the  old  log  house,  it  was  known  that 
"Squire  Candee"  had  sold  the  old  farm,  there  were  bitter  tears  shed  b}' strong  men  and 
women,  who,  while  scattered  in  e\  er\  direction,  had  the  wannest  place  in  their  hearts  for 
the  dear  old  home  in  Saratoga.  Wc  have  noticed,  in  this  sketch,  only  the  descendants  of 
one  of  the  nine  sons  of  Caleb  Candee.  The  families  of  the  other  brothers,  while  not  so 
remarkable,  were  wonderful  for  iinnibers,  viiror  ami  longcvitv.

80  CANDEE. 

Connecticut,  February  1,  1802.  His  great-grandfather 
was  the  first  physician  in  the  vicinity,  and  he  kept  the 
mortar  and  pestle  used  by  the  physician  of  so  many 
years  before. 

He  had  an  early  aptitude  for  study.  He  was  always 
in  advance  of  his  class.  Having  a  disrelish  for  farm 
labor,  he  was  ptrmitted  to  pursue  his  studies.  He 
studied  Latin,  Greek,  and  in  1821,  German.  He  had 
a  great  aptitude  for  languages.  In  1834,  he  learned 
Polish,  and  became  afterwards  familiar  with  the  Saxon. 
He  familiarized  himself,  in  whole  or  part,  with  fifty 
or  sixty  languages,  says  the  limes.  He  was  also  an 
excellent  scholar  in  Natural  History.  In  the  studies  to 
which  he  devoted  the  leisure  hours  he  could  steal  from 
an  extensive  practice,  he  was  a  thorough  enthusiast. 
He  first  studied  medicine  in  the  books  of  his  great- 
grandfather. He  graduated  at  Yale  Medical  School, 
and  commenced  practice  in  Troy  in  1827.  In  the  chol- 
era season  of  1849,  he  passed  several  days  at  a  time 
without  removino^  his  clothins:.  He  feared  no  danofer. 
He  first  became  noted  in  the  cholera  season  of  1832, 
and  ever  after  had  a  large  practice,  more  than  one  man 
should.  He  had  over  three  thousand  five  hundred  cases 
in  obstetrics. 

He  was  for  a  time  President  of  the  Rensselaer  County 
Medical  Society;  was  a  member  of  the  American  Medi- 
cal Society,  the  American  Association  for  the  Advance- 
ment of  Science,  and  Corresponding  Member  of  the

The  following  is  from  the  Memphis  Appeal: 

"George  K  Candee,  who  died  June  28,  1874,  at  his  old  home  in 
"Connecticut,  came  to  Memphis  in  1838.  He  was  associated  as  a 
"merchant,  at  different  periods,  with  H.  G.  Buckingham,  Emmett 
"Mix,  A,  M.  Latham,  and  others.  In  1862,  Mr.  Candee  retired  from 
"  business,  and  from  that  time  has  resided  here,  at  different  watering 
"places,  and  of  late  at  his  old  home  in  New  England.  He  was  eminently 
"successful  as  a  tradesman,  and  was  ever  esteemed  thoroughh^  trust- 
"  worthy.  Few  citizens  of  Memphis,  at  the  time  he  withdrew  from  active 
"  business  pursuits,  could  boast  of  a  greater  number  of  friends  than  G. 
"N.  Candee.  His  commercial  credit  and  character  were  stainless;  and 
"there  are  many  old  citizens  of  Memphis  who  will  read  this  announce- 
"ment  of  his  death  with  sincere  regret.  Mr.  Candee  was  lavish  in 
"expenditures  in  behalf  of  the  poor  and  unfortunate;  and  the  war 
"between  the  States  cost  him  heavily.  He  was,  we  believe,  an  original 
"member  of  the  Old  Folks'  Association  of  Memphis."

as  a  merchant  with  his  brother,  under  the  name  of  J.  & 
S.  Baldwin.  In  May,  1835,  he  and  his  family  removed 
to  Elyria,  Lorain  county,  Ohio,  where  he  continued  as  a 
merchant  until  1847,  when  he  returned  to  Meriden  for 
nine  vears.  In  Meriden,  he  was  President  of  the  Home 
Bank,  now  Home  National  Bank.  In  1856,  he  returned 
to  Elyria,  and  again  became  a  merchant  there  and  in 
Wellington,  in  the  same  county.  His  success  as  a  mer- 
chant has  been  marked,  and  in  earlier  days  made  his 
town  quite  a  center  for  trade.  He  now  lives  quietly  in 
Elyria.  He  and  his  two  sons  are  each  year,  on  the  same 
day,  elected  Directors  in  different  Xational  Banks.  His 
wife  Mary  E.  died  September  28,  1836.  She  was  a 
bright  woman,  of  clear,  good  mind,  a  good  education

Baldwin  married  2'^^^'  Fidelia  Hall,  of  Meriden,  by  whom

The  cemetery  is  out  of  a  corner  of  the  farm  owned  by 
John  Candee,  which  Mr.  Candee  says  is,  in  the  main,  the 
original  farm  of  Caleb  Candee.  It  is  a  good  farm,  on 
land  nearly  the  highest  in  Oxford.  From  the  cemetery  a 
fine  view  can  be  had  for  miles;  and  with  the  fine  loca- 
tion, the  tall  evergreens,  and  the  beautiful  drive,  it 
seems  indeed  a  lovely  spot  for  the  long  rest. 

The  age  of  Lois  Mallory  (or  Mallery),  the  wife  of 
Caleb,  would  identify  her  with  Lois  Mallery,  whose 
birth  is  entered  in  Xew  Haven,  November  30,  1721,

I  have  ended  my  list  of  the  Candees.  I  believe  there 
is  no  person  named  Candee  in  the  world  who  is  not 
descended  from  onr  common  ancestor,  Zaccheus.  I 
have  found  no  person  named  Candee  whom  I  failed  to 
connect ;  though  it  will  be  apparent  to  one  who  care- 
fully examines  the  foregoing  list,  that  there  may  be 
descendants  whose  history  is  lost. 

It  is  common  for  persons  of  the  same  family  name  to 
think  there  is  a  likeness  to  be  traced  among  the  persons 
bearino^  it.  The  writer  is  of  the  sixth  s^eneration  from 
Zaccheus,  and  had  of  that  generation  sixty-four  an- 
cestors. It  is  fair  to  conclude  that  it  is  not  likelv  a 
peculiarit}'  can  be  traced  between  individuals  having 
only  one-sixty-fourth  in  common. 

I  am  personally  acquainted  with  few  Candees.  These 
are  quiet,  reticent,  unostentatious,  gentlemanly  people, 
of  good  understanding  and  intelligence.  One  peculiarity 
is  marked  throughout  all  the  Candees :   nearly  all  are 


CANDEE.  119 

good  penmen,  writing  a  plain  hand;  ornamental,  but 
not  ornate. 

Very  few  indeed  are  in  the  old  homes,  nearly  all 
living  in  large  villages  or  cities,  and  mostly  in  positions 
of  responsibility.  They  appear  to  be  generally  good 
business  men. 

I  am  sorry  that  I  could  not  have  given  fuller  sketches 
of  the  dead  and  the  living.  At  such  a  distance  as  I  am 
from  the  old  homes,  it  is  impossible. 

In  times  past,  too,  the  Candees  seemed  somewhat 
marked  with  the  quiet  traits  of  the  present  day.  Nearly 
all  are  descended  from  Samuel,-  and  a  large  proportion 
from  Caleb,^'  so  that  the  relationship  is  still  nearer  than 
Zaccheus.  The  extra  e  was  added  in  the  early  part  of 
the  present  century,  and  apparently,  by  general  consent, 
by  all  the  Candees;  even  those  of  Western  Massachu- 
setts following  this  fashion. 

It  may  be  of  some  interest  to  say  that  the  late  Mr. 
David  McEwen,  of  Oxford,  an  aged  man,  told  me  that 
when  he  was  young,  the  old  people  pronounced  the 
name  Cambee,  the  younger  people  Candee.

a  Representative 

at  the  March  General  Court,  in  Massachusetts,  and  re- 
moved, perhaps  next  year,  to  Hartford.  In  May  22, 
1638,  then  of  Hartford,  he  lodged  with  Roger  Williams.* 
He  had  in  Wetherstield  a  brother  Thomas,  as  appears 
by  a  lawsuit  between  the  two  in  1650. f  Thomas  was 
therein  1636;  freeman  in  1652;  Representative  in  1652. 
If  son  of  Samuel,  of  Chelmsford,  Matthew  was  baptized  in 
April,  1604.  The  spelling  is  there  Allen,  though  in  the 
names  of  Matthew  and  Thomas  it  was  generally  here 
Allyn.  Matthew  generally  signed  his  name  with  a  y ; 
but,  it  is  said  on  high  authority  (see  Savage),  not  always 
so,  and  the  c  is  common  in  records  and  in  print.  He  was 
married  in  England,  and  his  children  are  supposed  to 
have  been  born  there.  He  was  a  large  proprietor  in  Hart- 
ford in  1639,  a  proprietor  in  Windsor  as  early  as  1640, 
a  large  owner  in  Killingsworth,  and  also  in  Simsbury.

He  was  a  member  of  Mr.  Hooker's  churcli,  and,  says 
Mr.  Hiuman,  "a  man  of  superior  talents,  energetic, 
wilful,  and  obstinate  in  all  bis  projects."  Perbaps  peo- 
ple of  bis  time  called  it  firmness,  for  be  was  mucb 
bonored.  "  Few  men  in  tlie  Colony,"  says  Mr.  Hinman 
again,  ''  bad  more  influence,  or  received  more  bonors 
from  tbe  people,  tban  Mr.  Allyn.  He  bad  been  a  mem- 
ber of  botb  braucbes  of  tbe  General  Court,  a  Magistrate 
and  Judge,  a  member  of  tbe  United  Congress  for  New 
England,  one  of  tbe  signers  of  tbe  petition  to  Cbarles 
II.  for  a  cbarter,  and  beld  many  town  oltices." 

He  owned  tbe  first  mill  at  Hartford,  at  tbe  foot 
of  present  West  Pearl  street.*  After  a  few  years  at 
Hartford,  be  difiered  witb  tbe  cburcb,  and  in  1644  be 
presented  to  tbe  General  Court  a  petition  against  tbe 
cburcb  in  Hartford  for  relief  in  bis  censure  of  excom- 
munication, in  wbicb  be  claimed  to  bave  been  wronged. 
As  was  to  be  expected,  in  October,  1644,  tbe  Court  de- 
cided be  bad  not  proved  bis  cbarges,  and  sbould  answer 
furtber.  November  27,  tbe  matter  seems  to  bave  been 
dropped,  and  perbaps  at  tbat  time  Mr.  Allyn  removed 
to  Windsor. 

Honorable  Isaac  W.  Stewart  (Scacva)t  tbus  pleas- 
antly alludes  to  it:  ''Tbis  distinguisbed  settler  was 
ordered  to  bring  into  Court  tbe  particulars  of  bis  accu- 
sation, but  be  did  not;  yet  we  sball  never  believe  bim 
guilty  of  anytbing  sinful  or  beinous,  for  be  was  a  good 
man,  a  just  man,  a  bigb-minded  man,  and  one  of  tbe

props  of  the  Colony.  Perhaps  he  entertained  senti- 
ments on  baptism,  church  membership  or  church  dis- 
cipline variant  from  a  majority  of  the  Church,  and  so 
fell  under  the  ban,  as  did  others,  not  many  years 
after,  for  the  same  cause.  The  South  Church  is  the 
ottspring,  in  1670,  of  difficulties  of  this  character.''  * 
We  think  it  not  unlikely  that  this  may  partly  have 
led  Mr.  Allyn  to  Windsor,  although  there  are  many 
evidences  that  he  was  in  high  esteem  still  at  Hartford; 
and  Mr.  Hinman  seems  to  think  that  the  Church  encour- 
aged him  to  remove,  being  afraid  of  his  "  iniiuence  with 
the  settlers." 

In  1658,  there  was  again  trouble  in  the  Hartford 
Church,  and  Mr.  Allyn  was  Chairman  of  the  Committee 
of  the  General  Court  to  write  letters  on  the  subject. f 

Mr.  Allvn  had  some  time  before  been  interested  in 
the  Windsor  Plantation.  Plymouth  Colony  originally 
asserted  a  rio^ht  to  lands  there  as  in  the  limits  of  that 
Colony ;  and  in  1633,  Plymouth  people  had  a  trading- 
house  there,  and  these  people  were  really  the  first  set- 
tlers.]: May  3,  1638,  Lieutenant  William  Holmes,  by 
authority  of  a  power  of  attorney  from  the  Company  of 
New  Plymouth,  sold  to  Mr.  Allyn  all  the  lands,  houses, 
^'servants,  goods  and  chattels"  of  that  Company  in  the 
town  of  Windsor.  '^'Thus,"  says  our  author,  "was  ex- 
tinguished the  last  vestige  of  Plymouth  right  and  title 
upon  the  Connecticut  river." 


*  For  an  example  of  the  force  of  such  influences,  see  the  account  herein  of  Mr.  Pynchon, 
driven  to  England  by  them, 
t  Connecticut  Colonial  Records,  Volume  1,  page  321.         X  Stiles'  Windsor,  pages  13,  19,  43. 


124  ALLYN. 

Mr.  Allyn  was  a  quick  man  to  see  his  rights,  and  seeing 
to  maintain  them :  and  he  afterwards  claimed  he  was  not 
amenable  to  Connecticut  taxes,  nor  yet  his  property,  he 
having  purchased  from  Plymouth.  By  mutual  consent, 
the  matter  was  referred  to  the  distinguished  gentlemen, 
Messrs.  Haynes,  Ludlow,  Hopkins  and  Phillips,  who 
decided  he  should  pay  Connecticut  rates  and  no  other, 
and  that  he  "should  have  notice  given  liim,  in  con- 
venient time,  of  all  such  orders  as  do  or  may  concern 
him,  and  that  the  orders  be  such  as  lie  within  his 
compass  and  power  to  accomplish  and  perform  in  a 
reasonable  way."*  Had  Windsor  anticipated  the  mod- 
ern Western  way  of  taxing  severely  non-residents? 

Sergeant  Fyler,  in  behalf  of  the  town,  brought  suit 
against  All3'n  after  this  reference,  in  which,  October, 
1G42,  Fyler  was  ordered  to  pay  the  costs,  "  haveing  made 
a  referance  before  the  sute."     Mr.  Allvn's  homestead 

ft/ 

there  was  a  little  below  the  rivulet,  close  by  the  site  of 
the  old  Plymouth  trading-house. 

Mr.  Alh^n  was  Representative  from  Windsor  every 
year  from  1648  to  1658  inclusive,  except  1653;  Magis- 
trate of  the  Colon V  from  1657  to  166"  inclusive;  Com- 
raissioner  for  the  United  Colonies  of  New  England  from 
1660  to  1664. 

In  1649,  the  General  Court  having  ''judged  it  lawful, 
and  according  to  God,"  to  make  war  upon  the  Indians, 
Mr.  Allyn  was  tlie  first  of  the  three  Deputies  on  the 
Committee  "  for  the  ordering  of  the  setting  forth  of

tbeire  souldgers."  In  1G57,  he  and  Jo  Gilbert  were  to 
go  to  Pacomtnck  to  declare  to  the  Indians  the  rnind  of 
the  Commissioners.  In  1G59,  he  and  his  son  John  were 
both  of  the  Committee  with  power  to  divide  Podunk 
lands,  formerly  possessed  by  tliose  Indians,  and  also  to 
treat  with  the  Indians.  At  the  same  Court,  he  was  on 
the  Committee  with  power  to  treat  in  behalf  of  Hart- 
ford, Windsor  and  Wetherstield.  with  Mr.  Fenwick.  In 
1G60,  the  Worshipfal  Governor  and  Deputy  Governor 
were  chosen  Commissioners  for  the  next  year,  and  Mr. 
Matthew  Allvn  chosen  as  a  reserve,  and  also  to  act  as

the  Committee  with  power  about  Thirty-Mile  Inland. 
In  IGGl,  he  was  Moderator,  and  of  the  Committee  to 
petition  for  the  Patent  [Charter.]

one  of  the  ''persons  principally  interested  in  our  Col-

hatoes  (Xew  York.)  The  same  year,  Mr.  Willis  and  he 
were  to  go  over  to  Long  Island  to  settle  the  government 
on  the  west  end  ot  the  island.  In  1GG4,  the  Committee 
was  renewed  witli  the  addition  of  the  Governor  and 
Captain  Young,  with  authority  to  establish  Courts  and

other  full  powers.  In  October  of  the  same  year,  he  was 
of  the  committee  to  settle  the  'Mjounds"  with  "the 
Bay,"  and  between  "Road  Island  and  us,"  and  "our 
South  Bounds."  At  the  same  Court,  "  Mr.  Allyn,  Senior 
or  Junior,"  was  desired,  with  three  others,  to  accompany 
the  Governor  to  New  York  to  congratulate  His  Majes- 
ty's Commissioners,  and  if  opportunity  offered,  to  "issue 
the  bounds  between  the  Duke's  pattent  &  o's." 

In  1665,  the  union  of  Connecticut  and  New  Haven 
being  complete,  both  Matthew  Allyn,  Esq.,  and  his  son 
Lieutenant  John  Allyn,  were  chosen  assistants  as  well  as 
in  1666  and  1667,  and  in  1666  Matthew  was  Moderator. 
In  1666,  both  were  of  the  Committee,  in  case  of  apparent 
danger  of  invasion,  to  order  the  militia  as  they  shall  deem 
meet,  to  appoint  and  commission  officers,  etc.,  etc. 

In  1663,  under  order  of  the  General  Court,  William 
Wadsworth,  J^mes  Avery  and  Lieutenant  Smith  were  a 
Committee  to  divide  lands  at  "  Hamonoscitt,"  (Killings- 
worth.)  The  owners  were  Matthew  and  John  Allyn, 
Captain  Talcott  and  Mr.  Wyllys.  He  is  entered  on  the 
Killingsworth  records  as  a  large  landholder  and  first 
settler,  but  there  is  no  probability  that  he  lived  there. 
His  will  was  dated  January  30,  167y,  and  he  died  Feb- 
ruary 1,  167^.  His  wife  Margaret  was  made  sole  ex- 
ecutrix. He  gave  his  wife  the  use  of  his  estate  and 
desired  his  sons  and  son-in-law  Newberry  to  improve  it 
for  her.  He  gave  his  son  John  his  lands  in"Kennil- 
worth,"  and  confirmed  to  him  his  Hartford  lands,  which 
he  had  given  him  as  a  marriage  portion.     He  gave  also

a  large  estate  to  Thomas,  and  provided  liberally  for  his 
daughter,  Mary  ITewberry,  and  grand-daughter,  Mary 
Maudsley.  His  house  in  Windsor  he  had  previously 
deeded  to  Thomas,  subject  to  life  use  by  himself  and 
wife.

a  son  Fitz  John,  who  lived  in  New  Haven.  I  do  not  know  whether 
she  had  any  children  by  Mr.  Gardner. 

Secretary  John  Allyn,  by  his  S'^'*  wife  Hannah,  daugh- 
ter of  George  Lamberton,  widow  of  Samuel  Welles,  of 
Wetherslield,  is  supposed  to  have  had  no  children. 

Colonel  Allvn  died  at  Hartford,  November  6,  1696. 
His  wife  survived  him,  and  received  as  dower  £479,  25. 
7d.,  and  a  silver  tankard.  Each  daughter  had  about 
£315  sterling,  besides  the  mother's  dowry.

1664,  once  in  1665,  and  in  various  other  services.  The 
Colonial  Records  attest  his  exceeding  industry,  ability 
and  intelligence." 

In  1657,  he  became  a  meml)er  of  the  first  body  of 
troopers  in  the  Colony;   was   elected  by  them  cornet,

and  confirmed  by  the  Court.  In  1659,  with  Jacob 
Migat,  he  asked  in  belialf  of  the  artillery  a  grant  of 
Thirty-Mile  Lslaud.  In  lt>(>l,  he  is  elected  Deputy  as 
Lieutenant. 

In  March,  1662,  he  and  John  Talcot  had  granted  them 
six  hundred  acres  ot  upland  and  one  hundred  of  meadow. 
October  9,  1662,  "  the  Pattent,  or  Charter,  was  pub- 
li(|uely  read  in  audience  of  y^  freemen,  and  declared  to 
belong  to  them  and  their  successors.'^  They  made 
choice  of  Mr.  Willvs,  John  Talcot  and  Lieutenant 
John  Allyn  to  take  it  into  their  custody  upon  oath  for 
''y^  due  discharge  of  the  trust." 

In  1663,  he  was  with  his  father  on  the  committee 
for  union  with  IN^ew  Haven,  and  tlie  same  vear  was 
chosen  Secretary.  "  Colonel  Allyn,"  says  Mr.  C.  J. 
Hoadley,''^  ''was  chosen  Secretary  in  1663,  and  every 
subsequent  year  until  1696,  inclusive;  was  often  a 
Commissioner  of  the  United  Colonies  in  the  time  of 
Sir  Edmund  Andros ;  was  a  Member  of^the  Council, 
and  the  principal  Judge  of  the  Court  of  Common  Pleas, 
in  Hartford  county. f  He  held  also  several  minor  offices 
as  Clerk  of  the  Courts,  Town  Clerk  and  Clerk  of  the 
first  Ecclesiastical  Society  in  Hartford.  Durintr  the 
latter  portion  ut  his  life,  |»robably  no  individual  in 
Connecticut  possessed  greater  influence  in  the  public 
affairs  of  the  Colony  than  he."

130  ALLYN. 

The  temper  of  the  Couuecticut  Colony  was  tried  in 
1675.  Andros  was  made  Governor  of  New  York,  and 
his  territory  included  all  the  country  west  of  the  Con- 
necticut river.*  May  1,  1(375,  he  writes  to  the  Colony, 
desiring  submission.  On  the  17th,  they  answer  by  Mr. 
Allyn,  setting  up  their  Charter  and  their  ''obliged  duty" 
.  .  .  .  "to  continue  in  the  management  of  what  we  are 
intrusted  with,*'  calling  themselves  "3'our  affectionate 
friends  and  neighbors.''  Further  correspondence  ap- 
pears. 

In  July,  the  Colony  was  threatened  by  the  Indians,  and 
Andros  proposed  to  assist  them.  It  was  suspected  he 
meant  to  surprise  Saybrook;  and  Governor  Dongan,  his 
successor  in  1687,  writes:  ''On  perusal  of  some  papers 
in  the  Secretary's  office,"  says  Andros  "himself  went 
with  some  soldiers  to  surprise  them,  intending,  when 
he  had  done  it,  to  keep  possession  by  a  fort  he  designed 
to  make  at  a  place  called  Seabrook,  but  was  prevented 
by  the  opposition  of  two  companies  of  men,"  &c. 

Secretary  Allyn,  July  8,  1675,  sent  to  Captain  Bull 
instructions  that  he  should  forbid  the  forces  of  Andros 
from  landing.  Captain  Bull,  with  one  hundred  men, 
reached  the  fort  on  the  8th,  only  a  few  hours  before 
Andros  came.  He  was  directed  minutely  how  to  resist; 
was,  in  Ilis  Majesty's  name,  to  avoid  striking  the  first 
blow;  "  but  if  they  begin,  you  are  to  defend  yourselves, 
and  do  your  best  to  secure  the  peace  of  the  whole 
Colony  of  Connecticott  in  o'  possession,"  and  to  keep 
the  instructions  to  himself,  and  give  no  copy. 


♦Connecticut Colonial  Records,  Volume  2,  pages  263,  333,  569-574,  578-586. 


ALLYN.  131 

The  Court,  however,  unanimously  ordered,  under  seal, 
and  signed  by  the  Secretary,  a  protest,  to  be  sent  to 
the  several  plantations,  resolving  to  use  their  utmost 
power  and  endeavor  (expecting  the  assistance  of  Al- 
mighty God)  to  defend  against  Major  Andros. 

We  have  seen  that  the  Charter  of  Connecticut  was 
committed  to  the  custody  of  Allyn  and  others.  We 
relate  elsewhere  in  this  volume,  how,  with  the  help 
of  Captain  Wadsworth,  the  duplicate  Charter  was  pre- 
served. I  have  no  doubt  that  the  seizure  and  hiding 
of  the  Charter  was  premeditated.  The  whole  history 
shows  a  settled  purpose,  skillfully  and  adroitly  carried 
out,  and  so  persistently  and  harmoniously  as  perhaps 
would  only  have  been  possible  at  a  great  distance 
from  the  King,  and  where  the  hearts  of  all  the  public 
beat  as  one. 

Governor  Andros,  by  letter  dated  December  22, 1686, 
from  Boston,  makes  known  to  Governor  Treat  the 
command  of  His  Majesty  to  receive  the  surrender  of 
the  Charter.  January  26,  1687,  by  Secretar}^  Allyn, 
Connecticut  makes  known  its  preference,  if  they  must 
be  joined  with  other  Colonies,  to  join  Massachusetts, 
but  not  a  word  about  the  Charter.  Andros  writes, 
February  25  and  28,  1687,  expostulating  at  the  delay 
in  surrendering  the  Charter.  March  30,  1687,  Con- 
necticut replies  that  they  had  addressed  the  King,  and 
requests  therefore  an  amicable  correspondence  with 
Andros.  A  letter  from  Andros,  June  13, 1687,  informs 
them  of  the  judgment  upon  the  quo   warranto   about 


132  ALLYN. 

the  Charter,  and  hopes  for  an  immediate  surrender. 
John  Saffin,  June  14,  advises  John  Allyn,  Esq.,  Secre- 
tary, that  those  who  stand  out  the  longest  will  fare  the 
worst. 

It  will  be  remembered  that,  by  the  record,  there 
were  now  certain  persons  who  had  the  custody  of  the 
Charter,  and  who  would  be  called  upon  for  it.  But  at 
the  Court  commencing  June  15,  1687,  there  is  a  record 
that  ''  Sundry  of  the  Court  desiring  that  the  Patent  or 
Charter  might  be  brought  into  Court,  the  Secretary 
sent  for  it  and  informed  the  Governor  and  Court  that 
he  had  the  Charter,  and  showed  it  to  the  Court,  and 
the  Governor  had  him  j^ut  it  into  the  box  againe  and 
lay  it  on  the  table,  and  leave  the  key  in  the  box,  which 
he  did  forthwith."  * 

Mr.  Hoadle}^  makes  several  sui^gestions  as  to  why 
this  entry  was  made,  and  adds:  "  Tbe  entry  is  so  framed 
that  if  the  box  with  its  precious  contents  had  disap- 
peared, its  former  authorized  guardians  might  have 
been  discharged  of  all  responsilulity  for  its  loss."  I 
think  that  must  have  been  the  purpose  of  the  record. 

On  the  18th,  Mr.  Allyn  writes,  regretting  that  the 
Court  had  adjourned  before  messengers  arrived,  and 
declaring  it  "  not  in  our  power"  to  alter  the  resolution 
of  the  Court  "to  continue  in  the  station  in  wliich  the}' 
were."  (irovernor  Dongan,  of  New  York,  displeased  at 
Connecticut  for  preferring  to  unite  with  Massachusetts, 
represents  that  Allyn   and   the   Governor   are  for  the

surrender  of  tlie  Charter.    Whiting  writes  to  Allyn  that 
he  hears  that,  but  won't  believe  it  until  Allyn  says  so. 

October  22,  1687,  Andros  writes  to  Connecticut  that 
he  has  received  "  effectual  orders  and  commands  from 
His  Majesty  for  Connecticut,"  and  resolves  to  send,  or 
be  at  Hartford  himself,  the  next  week.  October  31 
1687,  he  came  to  Hartford,  escorted  by  the  troopers  on 
horseback,  and  commanded  b}^  the  same  Captain  Wads- 
worth,  who  seized  the  Charter. 

I  But  the  armed  resistance  of  America  had  not  yet 
come,  and  Andros  became  Governor.  His  commission 
was  read,  and  he  made  known  His  Majesty's  pleasure, 
to  make  Governor  Treat  and  Captain  John  Allyn  mem- 
bers of  his  Council.  The}^  were  sworn  in,  one  man 
making  the  ver}^  significant  exclamation,  that  ''they 
first  desired  that  they  might  continue  as  they  were." 
Mr.  Allyn  was  then  made  the  Judge  of  the  Court  of 
Common  Pleas  for  the  Court  of  Hartford.  Mr.  Whit- 
ing, son-in-law  of  Mr.  Allyn,  was  Clerk  at  Hartford^ 
Mr.  All3'n  recommended  the  same  Joseph  Wadsworth 
to  be  Lieutenant,  saying  it  will  be  most  accommodating 
to  the  people.  He  also  recommended  Captain  Benjamin 
Newberry  (his  brother-in-law)  to  be  Major.  He  himself 
was  Lieutenant-Colonel,  the  highest  office,  ?o  that  the 
militia  was  completely  under  his  control. 

Mr.  All3'n    seems   to  have    had   even  more  business 
under  Andros  than  before,  and    much    infiuence.     Mr. 

Hoadlev  says  :  "  Nh*.  Allyn,  with  the  same  tact  he  had

with  Dongaii,  succeeded  in  establishing  amicable  rela- 
tions with  West  (Andros'  Secretar}'),  as  well  as  with 
Andros;  and  to  the  good  offices  of  the  Deputy  Secre- 
tary, Connecticut  doubtless  owed  much  of  her  compara- 
tive exemption  from  the  evils  of  arbitrary  government 
during  the  usurpation/'-'^ 

In  1688,  Andros  was  made  Governor  of  Xew  England, 
New  York,  and  East  and  West  Jersey :  and  at  a  meeting, 
August  20,  1688,  at  iS'ew  York,  Mr.  AUyn  is  present  as 
one  of  the  Council. 

The  history  of  the  surrender  appears  under  the  signa- 
ture of  Mr.  Allyn,  in  the  address  to  King  William, 
June  13,  1689, t  petitioning  a  continuance  of  the  Char- 
ter. Seeing  other  Charters  condemned,  they  knew 
what  to  expect,  but  judged  it  not  good  or  lawful  to  be 
active  in  surrendering  what  cost  so  dear:  that,  if  to 
be  annexed  to  some  other  government,  they  preferred 
Massachusetts,  as  old  correspondents  and  a  people  with 
whose  principles  and  manners  they  were  acquainted, 
"which  choice  of  ours  was  taken  for  a  resio^nation  of 
our  government,  tho'  that  was  never  intended  by  us 
as  such,  nor  the  formalities  in  law  to  make  it  so." 

The  draft  or  copy  of  this  address  to  the  King  is  in  the 
handwriting  of  Mr.  Allyn.  It  excites  the  wrath  of  Mr. 
Bulkley,  of  "  Will  and  Down,"  a  pamphlet  written  very 
strongly  against  the  resumption  of  the  Charter  Govern- 
ment.    Mr.  Bulkley,  with  l)itterness,  says  it  was  drawn 


*  Connecticut  Colonial  Records,  Volume  4,  page  393. 
t  Connecticut  Colonial  Records,  Volume  3,  page  463. 


ALLYN.  135 

by  one  who  "jwas  an  Antesignanus  *  in  the  Revolution," 
and  in  its  "sly  insinuations/'  he  detects  the  '•Uuiguis  in 
herha,^' — snake  in  the  grass.  The  letter  was  several 
times  read  and  approved  by  the  General  Court,!  and 
Mr.  Bulkley  evidently  thought  it  well  drawn — alluding 
to  Secretary  Allyn  as  the  "dictator,"  who  "could  easily 
induence  the  Court  with  his  gloss,  and  move  them  to 
speak  in  his  dialect."  The  Journal  of  the  General  Court 
ended  October  31,  1687;  by  order  of  the  Governor. 
Finis,  (in  the  handwriting  of  Mr.  Allyn.) 

May  9,  1680,  the  Government  was  resumed,  to  pro- 
ceed as  it  did  before  according  to  the  Charter.  Colonel 
Allyn  was  an  "active  promoter"  of  this  revolution; 
and,  as  before,  Treat  was  Governor  and  he  Secretary. 
This  resumption  was  not  without  danger  to  him.  In 
October,  1690,  a  defendant  having  challenged  the  juris- 
diction. Governor  Treat  said:  "The  people  had  put  him 
in,  and  he  had  ventured  all  he  had  above  his  shoulders 
on  this  account,  and  therefore  he  would  maintain  it." 

In  October,  1688,  Mr.  Allyn  is  Lieutenant  Colonel  by 
Andros,  and  in  September,  1689,  is  chosen  to  the  same 
office  by  the  General  Court — then  the  highest  military 
office. 

To  give  any  full  account  of  the  many  civil  services 
performed  by  Colonel  Allyn,  as  he  was  called  the  latter 
part  of  his  life,  would  take  altogether  too  much  space. 
He  was  so  constantly  honored  that  it  is  very  plain  that 
those  who  knew  him  best  had  the  highest  opinion,  not

onlj  of  his  ability,  but  of  his  faithfulness  to  the  Colony 
under  all  circumstances. 

After  1690,  he  had  many  commissions,  such  as  pre- 
paring the  fort  at  Saybrook :  agreeing  with  Massachu- 
setts about  the  houndarv:  to  revise  laws  regulatins;  the 
value  of  the  currency,  "fiat  money;*'  correspondence 
with  Fletcher :  Commissioner  to  treat  with  the  Five 
Xations,  etc.,  etc. 

The  contest  with  Fletc-her  was  no  doubt  a  lively  one, 
requiring  all  the  courageous  ability  formerly  shown  by 
Colonel  and  Secretarv  Allvn.  Fletcher  wanted  to  s^et 
command  of  the  militia,  which  was  the  right  way  for 
the  King  to  command,  as  Andros  had  been  escorted 
by  troopers  commanded  by  the  man  who  seized  the 
Charter  under  a  Governor  who  ventured  all  above  his 
shoulders. 

Fletcher's  account* of  his  visit  to  Ilaitford  is  amusing. 
He  desired  and  was  permitted  to  read  to  the  Court  his 
commission,  whereupon  they  desired  him  to  hear  their 
Charter  read,  and  desired  him  to  suspend  his  commission 
until  thev  could  hear  from  Eno:land.  Fletcher  was  not 
willing;  whereupon,  next  day,  they  gave  him  an  answer 
in  writing,  (by  Colonel  Allyn  undoubtedly.)  They  could 
not  find  that  the  commission  superseded  the  commis- 
sion for  the  militia  in  their  Charter.  It  seems  Fletcher 
thought  it  not  safe  to  stay.  His  letter  says  lie  spent 
twenty  days  laboring  to  persuade  a  stubborn  people  to 
their  duty.  "I  never  saw  the  like  people.  They  have 
raised  a  considerable  tax  to   send  one  Mr.  Winthrop

theire  agent  for  England,  yet  pay  no  obedience  to  the 
Crown — neither  their  agent,  nor  any  in  office,  having 
taken  the  oaths  or  subscribed  the  test.  I  coukl  not  force 
obedience,  liaving  no  company  but  a  few  servants  and 
two  friends,  nor  did  I  think  it  tlie  King's  service  to  carry 
on  the  contest  to  blonde,  though  ihey  threaten  to  draw 
mine  for  urging  my  master's  rights." 

The  last  sentence  very  likely  refers  to  Captain  Wads- 
worth  and  his  "Drum!  drum  I  I  say,"  though  it  appears 
he  had  other  threats  of  violence,  and  did  not  dare  to  go 
out  "  thinly  attended,'"  and  left  because  the  people  w^ere 
ready  to  be  in  a  commotion.  He  seems,  according  to 
his  own  account,*  not  to  have  been  able  to  make  his 
proclamation,  and  he  then  gave  it  to  the  Secretary, 
desiring  him  to  make  it,  who  said  he  would  give  it  to  the 
Governor.  Little  good  would  it  do,  we  may  be  sure,  to 
give  it  to  Governor  Treat. 

A  pamphlet  of  forty-eight  pages,  entitled  ''A  Vindica- 
tion of  Connecticut,"!  was  ordered  [mblished  by  the  Gov- 
ernor and  Assistant  Governor,  April  23,  1694.  Some  of 
it  sounds  like  sarcasm;  witness  on  page  100:  "  Several 
things  are  said  of  a  proclamation  left  with  Colonel 
Allyn,  imparted  to  the  Governor,  and  fault  is  found  that 
it  was  not  published,  an<l  so  of  a  second  proclamation 
sent  from  York.  Ans.  1.  Let  our  General  Court's  an-

2.  Was  it  not  enough  that  no  hindrance  was  given  His 
Excellency  when  here,  and  jet  that  he  did  not  do  iff 

The  AVnrshipfiil  Captain  Allyn,  as  he  was  s unetimes 
styled  in  those  days  of  careful  and  quaint  titles,  con- 
tinued in  like  active  service  until  169<3,  when  he  died, 
and  November  6,  the  Governor  and  Council  assembled 
to  attend  his  funeral. 

Secretary  Kiniberlv  writes  to  Fitz  John  Wiuthron, 
that  "this  genileman  of  principal  trust  and  dependence" 
died  Friday,  ^N^ovember  6,  1686,  "about  elevm  o'clock 
at  night,  without  any  long  precedent  sickntss;  his  death 
being,  as  it  is  thought,  occasioned  by  a  cold  seizing  upon 
his  breast." 

He  left  a  hamlsome  estate  and  no  will.  His  monu- 
ment still  stands  in  Hanford,  and  has  the  following 
inscription  :  "  Here  lyes  interred  the  body  of  the  Hon- 
orable Lt.  ColoiK'l  John  Allyn,  who  served  his  Genera- 
tion in  the  capacity  of  a  Magistrate,  Secretary  of  the 
Colony  of  Connecticut  34  years,  who  dyed  Xov.  6,  in 
the  year  1696." 

Mr.  Edes,  to  show  the  respect  and  esteem  enter- 
tained for  Secietary  Allyn,  quotes  the  proceedings  of 
the  General  Councill,  held  in  December,  1696:  "Voted 
and  ordered  in  Council,  that  a  letter  be  sent  to  our  agent, 
giving  iiim  an  account  of  what  we  have  sent  for  his 
supply;"  and  "also  what  low  condition  the  providence 
of  God  hath  brought  us  into  by  the  death  of  the  Hon''''' 
Colon"  Allen."* 

One  of  the  scenes  of  Colonel  AUyn's  life,  which  set-nis 
most  strange  to  us,  was  in  a  trial  for  witchcraft  at  Fair-

field,  Connecticut,  in  September,  1G92.  The  Court  con- 
sisted of  the  Governor,  Deputy  Governor,  Secretary 
Allyn  and  four  eminent  gentlemen.  Four  women  were 
indicted  by  the  Grand  Jury  for  a  familiarity  with  Satan. 
There  was  a  great  amount  of  evidence.  The  water 
ordeal  was  resorted  to,  as  in  Hartford  in  1662,  and  four 
witnesses  swore  that  Mercy  Disborough,  being  bonnd 
hand  and  foot,  swam  like  a  cork,  though  one  labored  to 
press  her  down.  She  was  found  guilty  by  the  jury,  the 
other  three  acr|uitted.  The  jury  being  sent  out  again, 
found  her  guilty,  and  the  Court  approved  their  verdict, 
and  the  Governor  sentenced  her  to  death.  It  is  thought, 
however,  that  she  was  not  executed.* 

Mr.  Savage  says:  ''Increase  Mather  includes  in  his 
relation  of  the  Indian  wars,  the  account  of  the  troubles, 
preceding  and  during  that  with  the  Pequots,  written  by 
Allyn  (Secretary),  filling  nineteen  of  his  pages." 

Prince  says:  "It  was  furnished  Mather  I)}'  Allyn, 
and  attributed  to  Allvn  by  mistake,  the  oris^inal  havino^ 
been  written  by  Major  (Captain)  Mason. "f  The  narra- 
tive follows.  We  do  not  know  whether  Savage  or 
Prince  is  right. 

Mr.  Palfrey,  who  is  found  to  speak  in  measured 
commendation  of  Governor  Winthrop,  of  Connecticut, 
says:  "  But  the  power  had  gone  from  him.  The  signed 
and  sealed  Charter  that  doomed  Xew  Haven,  had  passed 
from  his  hands  into  hands  stronger  and  less  daint3^  His 
ocontle  o^enius  bent  before  the  coarser  and  more  resolute 
spirit  of  the    Secretary,  John   Allyn."     ''Allyn,   more

than  he,  was  the  ruler  of  Connecticut.  It  was  not  in 
the  wa}^  of  Winthrop,  Governor  of  Massachusetts,  to 
admit  any  such  control  as  in  the  sister  Colony  was 
exercised  by  the  able  and  determined  Secretary."* 

This  makes  a  very  pretty  antithesis,  and  Mr.  Palfrey 
IS  right  as  to  the  abilit}^  and  resolute  spirit  of  Mr.  Allyn, 
whom  he  calls  '^  a  man  of  ability  and  resolution,  and 
the  leading  spirit  of  the  Colony. "t  But,  unluckil}^  for 
tlie  force  of  the  antithesis,  Allyn  seems  for  many  years, 
and  under  several  Governors,  to  have  been  a  leading 
spirit.  There  is  no  ground  for  the  use  of  the  word 
coarse;  but  probably,  as  resolution  was  opposed,  in  the 
figure  of  speech,  to  irresolution,  so  the  "gentle"  called 
for  the  word  coarser. 

Allyn's  many  years  of  very  public  life  show  nothing 
but  high  intelligence,  refinement  and  manners — reso- 
lute, but  the  opposite  of  coarse  ;  gentle,  but  firm.  Such 
action  only  could  have  saved  the  Charter. 

Mr.  Edes,  in  his  sketch  of  Colonel  Allyn,  says  :  "  He 
was  an  excellent  diplomat,  and  to  his  influence  and  tact 
may  l)e  ascribed  the  amicable  relations  which,  generally 
speaking,  prevailed  between  the  Connecticut  Colony 
and  the  Andros  government." 

"  Few  men  enjoyed  to  a  greater  degree  the  confidence 
and  esteem  of  their  contemporaries  than  he."  "  He  was 
possessed  of  fine  abilities,  of  great  energy  and  untiring 
industry."  "  His  official  letters  and  records  bear  ample 
testimony  to  his  intelligence — the  influence  he  possessed 
over  the  political  aftairs  of  Connecticut  was  vast."

John*  and  his  father  had  land  from  the  town  of  Hart- 
ford on  January  15,  1684,  formerly  granted  John  AVeir. 


*  Mr.  Chipman,  in  the  History  of  Harwinton,  pa^e  149,  says  this  John  can  hardly  be 
doubted  to  be  the  one  signing  at  Branford,  in  1665,  an  agreement  to  found  a  town  in  New 
Jersey  (Newark);  and  also  the  John  Catlin  who,  with  his  son  Jonathan,  was  slain  at  Deer- 
field;  but  the  account  of  the  Branford  John,  in  "Hinman's  Puritan  Settlers,"  leaves  no 
doubt,  it  seems  to  me,  that  he  was  not  this  John.  The  Branford  John  married  at  Wethers- 
field  in  1662,  where  there  was  a  previous  John,  probably  his  father,  and  had  a  son  John 
there  in  1663.  He  disappears  at  Wethersfield,  and  in  1665  is  at  Branford,  and  next  in 
Newark,  where  he  continued  until  1683:  thence  to  Hadley  and  Deerfield. 

One  of  these  Johns  was  likely  the  one  who  signed  to  remove  to  Hadley  in  16.^0,  instead 
of  our  John,  as  Hinman  says.  I  have  sent  the  proof  of  this  account  of  Catlin  to  Hon. 
George  Sheldon,  the  genealogist  of  Deerfield,  who  says  the  John  of  Wethersfield,  Braiifonl, 
Newark  and  Deerfield  was  clearly  not  the  John  above  described.  John  of  Deerfield  was 
sometimes  called  Cattell  and  Catling.

RETURNING    TO    AARON    COOKE. 

At  the  General  Court  of  Connecticut,  May  21,  1653, 
the  Commissioners  oFthe  United  Colonies,  in  service  at 
Boston,  having  considered  "  what  number  of  souldgers 
might  be  requisite,  if  God  call  the  CoUonyes  to  make 
warr  against  the  Dutch,"  concluded  on  live  hundred, 
and  calling  on  Connecticut  for  sixty-five,  the  Court 
made  promise  to  raise  the  men,  and  appointed  "Lieu- 
tenant Cooke  to  be  Commander-in-Cheitfe." 

At  Windsor,  May  28,  1655,  on  training  day,  "in  the 
afternoon,  and  a  pretty  full  meeting,  and  also  most  of 
the  ancient  men,  there  was  a  vote  put  for  choice  of  a 
Captain."  Lieutenant  Cooke  was  chosen  by  a  vote  of 
eighty-seven  to  nineteen  for  all  others.  In  September, 
1656,  it  was  provided  that  Captain  Cooke  "  shall  cause 
that  seasoniable  warning  shall  be  given  to  come  to  the 
meeting,  by  drum  or  trumpet,  on  the  top  of  the  meeting 
house,  and  should  have  20.s.  for  the  year  ensuing."

September  8, 1653,  he  is  allowed  fifty  acres  of  land  at 
Massacoe  (Simsbury),  which  he  owned,  to  be  in  his 
father  Ford's  improvement. 

In  March,  165J,  he  is  one  of  the  listed  persons  for 
troopers,  presented  by  Major  John  Mason,  as  Captain 
Aaron  Cooke,  of  Windsor.  Captain  Cooke  was  the 
owner  of  "The  Complete  Body  of  the  Art  Military,"* 
by  Lieutenant  Colonel  Richard  Elton,  published  in 
England  in  1649;  and  he  left  it  by  will  to  his  son,  the 
second  Captain  Aaron. 

He  was,  according  to  Savage,  discouraged  from  set- 
tling at  Simsbury  by  a  controversy ;  remov^ed  to  North- 
ampton in  1661 ;  was  a  proprietor  at  Westfield  in  1667 ; 
Representative  in  1668.  lie  had  a  house  and  lot  in 
Windsor,  which  he  gave  to  his  son  Aaron  as  a  marriage

Joan  died  April,  1676,  and  he  married  S""*^'  December 
2,  1676,  Elizabeth,  daughter  of  John  Xash,  of  New 
Haven  ;  and  4^'''  in  1688,  Rebecca,  widow  of  Philip  Smith, 
and  daufi^hter  of  Nathaniel  Foote,  but  he  had  no  more 
children.     He  died  September  5,  1690,  aged  80. 

The  "History  of  Dorchester'"^  says  he  was  a  man  cf 
great  energy,  and  a  devoted  friend  to  the  Regicide 
Judges,  GofFe  and  Whalley.  While  they  were  in  this 
country,  they  resided  in  his  neighborhood. 

It  may  be  worth  while  to  notice,  that  May  18,  1680, 
Sir  Edward  Andros  wrote  from  New  York  to  the  Gov- 
ernor of  Connecticut,  that  he  had  been  informed  that 
Colonel  Goffe  was  kept  concealed  by  Captain  Joseph 
Bull  and  his  sons  at  Hartford,  under  the  name  of  Mr. 
Cooke.  Warrants  were  issued  to  the  Constable,  but  of 
course  he  would  not  find  Golfe. 

June  11,  1680,  Secretary  Allyn  wrote  to  Andros,  de- 
siring the  names  of  the  informers. 

Andros,  in  1687,  made  Captain  Cooke  a  Major  (then 
the  highest  regimental  office  in  Massachusetts.)  After 
the  fall  of  Andros,  he  was  Captain  again. 

March  27,  1683,  Captain  Cooke,  with  John  Pynchon, 
of  Springfield,  and  three  others,  composing  the  County 
Court,  sat  upon  the  case  of  Mary  Webster,  "  under  strong 
suspicion  of  having  familiarity  with  the  devil,  or  using 
witchcraft."  There  was  considerable  testimony,  but  the 
Court  "  look  upon  her  case  as  a  matter  belonging  to 
the  Court  of  Assistants."     She  was  sent  to  Boston,  and 

'  See  Stiles'  Historj'  of  Windeor,  page  572. 


COOKE.  153 

tried  before  Governor  Bradstreet,  the  Deputy  Governor 
and  nine  Assistants  and  a  jury,  the  Grand  Jury  there 
having  indicted  her.     She  was  acquitted. 

3.  JtatOtt,"  Aaron/  born  in  Windsor,  Connecticut, 
February  21,  1641 ;  settled  in  Hadley,  Massachusetts. 
He  married,  May  30, 1661,  Sarah,  only  child  of  William 
Westwood.     She  died  March  24, 1730,  aged  86  years. 

William  Westwood  was  of  Cambridge,  Massachusetts. 
Mr.  Savage  says  he  may  have  been  there  as  early  as 
1632,  though  he  says  he  came  in  the  "Frances,"  from 
Ipswich  the  last  of  April,  1634,  and  had  lived  in  the 
adjoining  county  of  Essex.  He  was  aged  28,  his  wife 
Bridget  32,  and  he  brought  two  servants,  John  Lea  and 
Grace  Newell.  He  was  a  man  of  good  estate,  and  came 
to  examine  the  country  before  bringing  his  family.  He 
was  freeman  March  4,  1635 ;  removed  with  the  earliest 
company  of  Hooker  to  Connecticut,  as  an  original  pro- 
prietor of  Hartford,  and  was  Representative  at  the  first 
General  Court,  held  at  Xewton  (afterwards  Hartford), 
April  26,  1636;  others  at  Dorchester  (Windsor),  and 
Watertown  (Wethersfield).  He  attended  every  subse- 
quent Court  during  the  continuance  of  the  commission, 
but  his  name  does  not  appear  among  the  magistrates 
after.  He  was,  however,  deputy  for  Hartford  in  the 
year  1642  to  1656  inclusive,  except  1645. 

In  1639,  he  was  one  of  the  selectmen  of  Hartford  and 
once  or  twice  after,  and  a  frequent  juror.  His  home 
lot  in  Hartford  was  three  acres  on  the  west  side  of  the 


154  COOKE. 

''highway  leading  from  the  little  river  to  the  north 
meadow,"  now  Front  street,  with  a  cartway  throuo:h  it 
to  Sentinel  Hill,  being  nearly  or  quite  where  Morgan 
street  now  is.       . 

About  1658,  he  removed  to  Iladlev.  Massachusetts. 
In  1*359,  he  was  of  the  committee  to  lav  out  home  lots 
there,  and  was  often  on  other  committees  in  the  public 
service.  In  1H62,  he  was  Selectman.  He  died  at  Ilad- 
ley,  April  9,  1669.  His  wife  Bridget  died  there.  May 
12,  1676. 

He  had  but  one  child,  his  daughter  Sarah,  to  whom 
he  gave  by  will  all  his  lands  in  Hartford.  Her  son 
Aaron,  inheriting  from  her  the  same  lands,  removed 
to  Hartford  and  settled  thereon."^ 

Mr.  Stuart  names  Mr.  ^VestwoodT  as  a  "man  of  note 
and  prominent  inlluence,  both  in  ecclesiastical  and  civil 
affairs,  with  more  than  ordinary  possessions  for  the  day, 
and  honored  often  with  offices  of  trust."' 

Mav  21,  1653,  he  was  one  of  the  three  Committeemen 
for  Hartford,  appointed  by  the  General  Court  to  advise 
about  the  pressing  of  men  ''for  the  present  expedition," 
in  all  for  the  Colony,  sixty-live  men,  to  be  ready  at  a 
day's  warning,  with  provisions,  etc. 

At  Hadley,  settled  in  1659,  he  was  that  year  one  of  a 
Committee  to  divide  Xorthampton  ;  and  he  was  also 
chosen  one  of  seven  "to  order  all  public  occasions  that 
concern  the  good  of  that  plantation  for  the  year  ensu- 
ing."    In  1661,  he  was  one  of  three  Commissioners  who 

'  Hartford  in  the  Olden  Time,  page  50.  t  Hartford  in  the  Olden  Time,  page  12. 


COOKE.  155 

had  extensive  civil  and  criminal  powers,  and  Westwood 
had  power  to  marrj,  or  in  his  absence  one  of  the  other 
Commissioners.  By  a  petition,"^  signed  by  him  as  one 
of  a  committee,  they  besought  the  General  Court  to 
^'  lend  a  listening  ( ar  to  our  cry."  They  already  had 
too  little  land,  and  the  place  was  far  worse  for  wintering 
cattle  than  was  expected,  and  they  bought  of  the  In- 
dians at  such  rates  as  they  believed  no  other  plantation 
had. 

Mr.  TVestwood  was,  says  Mr.  Boltwood,t  one  of  the 
wealthiest  and  most  prominent  of  the  lirst  settlers  of 
Hartford,  and  took  the  same  position  at  Iladley.  His 
daughter  Sarah  was  born  about  1644.  In  1663,  Mr. 
Cooke  lived  with  him,  and  had  no  house  lot.  His  large 
property  went  to  his  widow  and  daughter.

was  a  "Justice  near  thirty  years,  and  a  Captain  thirty- 
five."  He  was  quite  prominent  in  Hadley.  He  was 
quite  interested  in  schools;  and  September  28,  1686, 
with  Mr.  John  Russell,  Joseph  Kellogg  and  Samuel 
Porter,  presented  to  the  County  Court  at  Springfield 
the  declining  state  of  the  Grammar  School,  for  which 
funds  had  been  bequeathed,  which  the  town  undertook 
to  manage.  The  Court  sustained  the  petitioners.  After 
quite  a  struggle  to  divert  the  fund  to  an  English  school, 
Ca[>tain  Cooke  (then  a  member  of  the  Court  of  Ses-

1.  yetcr  lUall^Vlj  was  at  Xew  Haven,  Connecticut, 
in  1644,  and  siii;ned  the  planter's  covenant.  The  name 
appears  on  the  early  records  of  Xew  Haven,  generally 
Mallery,  also  as  Malery,  Mallary  and  Malary.  In  later 
times  it  appears  as  Mallory.  Dodd,  in  his  "  East  Haven 
Register,"  calls  it  Mallory,  and  that  seems  the  spelling 
now  generally  adopted.  This  is  the  form  on  page  16, 
where  the  last  name  was  given  from  tradition,  since 
proved.  AVith  the  characteristic  treedom  of  the  early 
Puritan  settlers,  the  name  is  often  spelled  differently  in 
the  same  instrument. 

Peter's  wife  was  no  doubt  named  Mary,  who  signed 
with  him  a  deed  dated  January  IT,  1687,  and  whose 
death  appears  in  New  Haven  records,  December,  1690. 
Both  signed  the  deed  by  mark.  It  conveys  to  his 
"loving  son  Thomas  ''  twelve  acres,  about  half  of  Peter's 
lands  in  the  place  wherein  his  dwelling  then  stood,  at 
West  farms — bounded  east  by  Joseph  Smith,  south  by 
Herbet,"^  north  by  lands  of  John  Mallery  (given  him 
by  Peter)  and  lands  of  Thomas,  on  the  west  by  other 
land  of  "  mv  owne  on  a  path  for  to  bee  a  continued 
"  passage   to    our  dwellings    running   between    y*"  said

How,  where  and  when  Peter  Mallery  got  his  first 
lands  I  do  not  know.  He  made  repeated  conveyances 
to  his  children. 

Some  of  his  lands  joined  Milford,  and  were  on  Oyster 
river  which,  in  its  lower  course,  now  divides  Orange 
(West  Haven  Post  Ofiice)  and  Milford. 

January  2,  1684,  he  conveys  to  his  son  Peter  twenty 
acres  at  Homesses'  [Holmes?']  —  bounded  west  by  Mil- 
ford, east  by  town  common,  north  by  his  land,  and

acres  called  West  Side  farms — bounded  north  by  his 
land,  east  by  Eleazer  Beecher,  west  by  Goodman  Canbee,

The  same  year  he  conveys  to  his  son  John,  "  on  y*^

Peter,  from  the  simple  mark  "P,"  was  then  likely 
more  feeble  than  in  1687. 

Peter  Mallerv  had  children  : 

2.  Rebecca,  born  March  18,  1649. 

3.  Peter,  born  Jul}'  27,   1653;   married,   May  28,  1678,  Elizabeth 
Trowbridge,  and  had  twelve  children.     He  lived  in  New  Haven. 

4.  Mar}^  born  October  28,  1655.

7.  Daniel,  born  November  25,  1661. 

8.  John,  born  May  10,  1664;  married  and  had  six  children  in  New 
Haven. 

9.  Joseph  (1666),  married  Mercy  Pineon,  and  had  six  children;  has 
descendants  in  East  Haven. 

10.  Benjamin,  born  January  4,  1668;  married  l^t-  Dorothy  Ludiug- 
ton,  and  had  five  children;  married,  2"*^'  Mary  O.  Neal,  and  had  seven 
children,  all  of  whom  appear  in  '*  Dodd's  East  Haven  Register." 

11.  Samuel,  boru  March  10,  167|-. 

12.  WilUam,  born,  September  2,  1675. 

6.  ff  Ijomao/' Peter,^  born  April  15,  1659.  Mr.  Sav- 
age, following  Dodd,  says  September,  but  is  wrong. 

He  had  lands  from  his  father,  and  built  his  house  near 
his  father,  as  appears  under  the  account  of  Peter. ^  He 
was  married  March  26,  1684,  to  Mary  Umberlield,  bj^ 
Samuel  Eells,  of  Milford.  She  is  supposed  by  Mr. 
Sava2:e  to  be  a  sister  of  John  Umberlield  who  was  in 


MALLERY.  163 

^ew  Haven  in  1674,  and  a  proprietor  there  in  1685. 
Umberfield  had  lands  in  West  Haven  ;  he  is  supposed 
to  have  had  children,  at  least  Samuel  who  had  descend- 
ants commencing  with  Sarah  in  1695  ;  I  presume  also 
a  daughter,  Mary,  who  married,  Xovember  28,  1694, 
Ebenezer  Downs.  The  name  Umberfield  remains  in 
West  Haven  and  in  New  Haven  to  this  day.  The 
name  is  also  spelled,  in  the  early  Xew  Haven  records, 
Umphrevile,  Humphrevile,  Umfreeville,  Umfrevile, 
Humfrevile,  Humpherevile,  Humphervile,  Humpervile, 
Humphervel  and  Humphurvil. 

Thomas  Mallery,  January  10,  1687,  receives  a  con- 
veyance from  his  brother  John,  at  West  Farms,  bounded 
north  by  highway,  east  by  John  Clark,  south  by 
Thomas  Mallery,  and  west  by  highway  running  to 
John's  own  "housing." 

Thomas  died  before  his  father,  February  15,  169^. 
The  inventory  of  his  estate  was  presented  at  New  Ha- 
ven April  8,  1692,  amounting  to  £220  19.?.  No  admin- 
istrator appears,  but  February  2,  170J,  his  oldest  son 
Thomas  conveyed  to  his  second  son  Daniel  all  his 
interest  in  "all  y*"  lands,  orchard,  house,  barne,  seques- 
tered lands  and  other  wood  land,  and  all  v^  ever  should 
appear  to  belong  to  the  same  in  New  Haven  of  my 
father's  estate." 

He  had  children,  appearing  in  New  Haven  Records: 

13.  Thomas,  born  January  11,  (not  l^t,  as  Cothren  says,  following 
Dodd)  1685;  married  Elizabeth  Bartlett,  daughter  of  John,  of  Stratford, 
and  the  descendants  appear  in  ' '  Cothren's  Ancient  Woodbury. "

14.    panitl,'^    Thomas,-   Peter.^      The    New   Haven 

land  records  attest  that  Daniel  was  an  enterprising, 
active  man,  and  left  a  considerable  estate.  In  1714,  he 
received  a  deed,  as  husbandman,  from  Henry  Bristoll, 
husbandman,  for  "  current  money." 

In  1717,  he  buys  lands  at  the  village  of  West  Haven  ; 
and  in  1718,  he  has  lands  at  "  Old  Field,"  at  "  Honey 
Hill,"  "Shingle  Hill,"  and  at  "Long  Hill,"  then  con- 
veyed. 

He  receives  many  other  conveyances  down  to  1733, 
in  one  of  which  he  and  Isaac  Beecher  are  joint  grantees 
of  Daniel  Clark,  of  lands  in  West  Haven  ;  considera- 
tion, £50. 

In  1710,  he  joins  with  Eleazer  Prindle,  of  Milford, 
and  with  Xathaniel  Beecher  and  James  Browne,  of 
New  Haven,  in  buying,  in  equal  shares,  from  Isaac 
Jones,  two  hundred  and  fiftv  acres  of  land.  The  land 
was  in  Wallingford  on  the  "  old  road  from  New  Haven  to 
Hartford,"  and  must  have  been  in  Northeast  Meriden. 
The  writer  lived,  when  young,  on  the  same  road,  still 
known  as  "  the  old  road."  The  consideration  for  the 
above  mentioned  two  hundred  and  fifty  acres  was  £79, 
3s.,  4d.,  "  pine  money  of  New  England,"  (silver).  The 
land  was  originally  granted  to  William  Jones,  Esq., 
father  of  grantor,  by  the  General  Assembly,  January 
1,  1685. 

Daniel's  will  was  proved  in  New  Haven,  February  12, 
1760.  His  wife  Abigail  and  sons  Daniel  and  Thomas 
were  his  executors.     He  left  his  wife  Abigail  the  use  of 


MALLERY.  165 

one-half  his  dwelling;  one-third  his  barn,  lands  and 
meadow;  one  horse,  one  cow,  and  half  his  household 
goods.  To  his  son  Daniel,  of  Woodbury,  his  lands 
there.  To  his  son  Thomas,  of  Waterburj,  his  lands 
there.  All  the  rest  of  his  property,  except  £5  to  Daniel, 
was  to  be  divided  into  eight  parts  and  divided  one  each 
to  his  children  :  Daniel,  Thomas,  Abigail  Smith,  Esther, 
Lois  Caudee,  Eunice  Clark,  Hannah  Smith,  and  the 
eighth  part  to  the  children  of  his  daughter,  Sarah 
Bunnel,  subject  to  her  life  use.  Each  had  a  right  in 
the  homestead  of  £4,  2^.,  10^.,  and  in  all  £28,  I85,  Id., — 
the  balance  to  Lois  being  lands  at  the  Cove  near  Kim- 
berleys  and  west  of  Esther,  near  the  widows,  and  £5,  55., 
in  movables. 

The  following  children  appear  in  New  Haven  town 
records,  to  Daniel : 

16.  Abigail,  born  May  29,  1716;  married  Smith. 

17.  Esther,  born  June  18,  1718. 

18.  Daniel,  born  February  4,  171-^;  of  Woodbury. 

19.  ToiO,  born  November  30,  1721;   married   Caleb  Candee,  and

one  of  eiglity-four  proprietors.  In  1073,  he  was  one  of 
a  committee  to  view  Mattatuck  (now  Waterbury.  Con- 
necticut.) He  signed  the  planting  articles,  but  did  not 
settle  there:  two  of  his  children  did.  He  died  Septem- 
ber 13,  1089  ;  his  widow,  February  24,  1098.  His  house 
was  just  at  the  north  part  of  the  village,  fronting  Main 
street.  The  selection  showed  taste.  Tradition  says  there 
was  an  Indian  fort  back  of  it.     The  inventory  of  the

says  he  was  perhaps  brother  of  Edmund,  of  Dorchester 
and  Weymouth,  who  came  probably  in  the  "  Mary  and 
John,"  in  1630;  or  of  John,  who  came  in  the  "AVilliam 
and  Francis,"'  embarked  in  London,  March,  1632  ;  or  of 
Vjoth.  He  was  freeman  in  Cambridge  Ma}^  14,  1631  ; 
removed  to  Hartford;  thence  to  Farmington,  where  he 
was  Representative  in  1617,  and  generally  after  to  1660. 
He  was  one  of  the  founders  of  the  Church  in  1652,  and 
its  Deacon.  He  had  no  children  by  his  2""^  wife  Marga- 
ret, widow  of  Arthur  Smith  ;  died  in  1683.  His  widow 
lons^  outlived  him.  He  had  John,  probablv  of  New 
Haven  ;  Stephen,  of  Farmington  ;  and  Thomas  ;  besides

daughters   Sarah,   who    married   Thomas   Porter,    and 
Mary,  who  married  John  Lee. 

Thomas  Hart,-  Stephen,^  died  August  27,  1726,  in  his 
83rd  year,  makins^  him  born  about  1644.  He  married 
1-^'  Ruth  Hawkins,  born  October  24,  1649,  daughter  of 
Anthony  Hawkins,  of  Windsor,  by  a  wife  who  died  in 
1655.  Anthony  Hawkins  removed,  in  1656,  to  Farming- 
ton,  where  he  married  Ann,  widow  of  Thomas  Thomp- 
son, and  daughter  of  Governor  Wells.  He  had  by  his 
1**  wife,  Mary,  who  married  John  Judd,  Ruth  ;  and 
John,  who  died  unmarried  ;  by  his  2"^  wife,  Sarah,  who 
died  young,  Elizabeth,  who  married  Brinsmead;  and 
Hannah,  who  married  Richard  Seymour.  Anthony 
Hawkins  was  Representative  seventeen  sessions;  he  is 
named  in  the  Charter  of  Connecticut,  April  29,  1662 ; 
and  was  Assistant  in  1668-70.     He  died  in  1674. 

Thomas  Hart  filled  many  civil  and  military  offices, 
including  being  Representative  several  years.  He  ap- 
parently married  the  2'"^  time,  and  had  several  children 
by  the  2"'^  marriage.  Mr.  Savage's  account  of  him  is 
quite  unsatisfactory,  and  the  1*^  marriage  appears  in  the 
corrections  in  the  third  volume. 

Samuel  iTewell  joined  the  Church  in  Farmiugton 
December  11, 1687,  and  his  wife  June  9, 1687.  He  died

the  date  of  the  first  page  of  the  town  records,  July  7, 
1640,  in  a  list  among  whom  lands  were  to  be  divided. 
His  name  appears  repeatedly  to  1648,  in  similar  lists. 
When  he  sold  his  lands  does  not  appear. 

The  name  of  Francis  Xorton  appears  later  than  1646, 
and  o^enerallv  with  that  of  John.  Francis  is  also  called 
Senior,  and  Goodman.  Francis  sold  his  last  division 
May  16,  1657,  by  a  very  short  conveyance: 

"May  16,  '57.  This  certifies,  that  I,  Francis  Norton,  hath  sold  to 
"Lawrence  Ward  and  Francis  Linsley  all  my  last  division  of  upland 
"and  meadow  to  them  and  have  their  hcires  forever." 

Doratha  Xorton,the  wife  of  John,  died  or  was  buried 
in  Branford,  January  24,  1652  (165t).  His  2"^^  wife, 
Elizabeth,  died  there  Kovember  6,  1657.  John  Xorton 
married  3''^'  it  is  said,  Elizabeth  Clark,  said  to  have  been 
sister  of  John  Clark,  of  Saybrook,  Connecticut.  She 
died  in  Farmington,  Connecticut,  November  8,  1702. 

John  bought  property,  September  29,  1659,  in  Hart- 
ford, Connecticut,  of  Jasper  Gunn,  which  he  sold  Feb- 
ruary 22,  1664,  to  John  Spencer.  It  is  not  known  that 
he  resided  there.  He  is  said  to  have  been  a  proprietor 
In  Farmington  prior  to  1659.  Joined  the  Church  there 
October,  1661.    He  died  there  November  5, 1709.

174  NORTON. 

Francis  Xortoii,  of  Branford,  removed  thence,  and 
was  drowned  in  Milford,  February  3,  1667.  I  think  he 
tlien  lived  there.  He  appointed  his  cousin  John  Nor- 
ton, of  Farmington,  and  Joseph  Nash,  of  Hartford, 
his  executors,  and  left  to  John  Norton  £15.  The  will 
was  dated  January  28,  1666.  The  word  cousin  then 
generally  meant  nephew. 

Francis  is  said,  in  a  pamphlet  published  by  Albert 
B.  Norton  in  1856,  to  be  the  son  of  Francis,  and  John  to 
be  the  son  of  Richard,  of  London,  brother  of  the  lirst 
Francis,  and  that  both  were  sons  of  William,  of  Bed- 
fordshire. This  is  not  improbable,  but  I  know  no  proof. 
(See  post  page  181.) 

John,  of  Farmington,  had  children: 

2.  Elizabeth,  married,  November  24,  1668,  John  Plum,  of  ^Milford, 
Connecticut,  baptized  in  1646,  son  of  Robert  and  ^lary  (Baldwin) 
Plum,  of  INIilford.  Mary  was  daughter  of  Irylvester,-*  (died  on  passage 
in  1638,)  Sylvester,-  Henry,-  Richard,i  of  County  Bucks,  England. 
(See,  for  ancestors  and  descendants,  "Baldwin  Genealogy,")  John 
Plum  was  a  man  of  distinction. 

3.  Hannah,  married,  January  3,  1666,  (probably  1666,)  Samuel 
North,  of  Farmington,  Connecticut. 

4.  Dorothy,  born  in  Branford,  :\[arch  6,  1649;  married  Dickinson. 

5.  3»0l)lt,  born  in  Branford,  May  24, 1650. + 

6.  Son,  born  October  14,  1657,  and  died  January  18,  165^.  The 
name  is  plainly  written  in  Branford  Records,  but  I  cannot  tell  what  it 
is.  I  once  read  it  John,  as  did  several  others,  and  the  Washington 
pamphlet  has  it  so.  The  Guilford  manuscripts  have  it  John,  corrected 
in  pencil  to  Felix.  The  name  occurs  five  times,  twice  to  this  son,  born 
and  died.  The  same  name  occurs  as  born  August  3,  1662,  to  Samuel 
Plum,  and  Savage  gives  that  Josiah.  It  occurs  as  born  April  20,  1652, 
to  Robert  Abut  (Abbot),  and  :Mr.  Savage  calls  it  Joseph.  .  It  occurs 


NORTON.  175 

iu  the  distribution  of  Abbot's  estate  in  Brauford  records,  next  fol- 
lowing John,  while  Savage  says  Joseph  is  omitted.  I  cannot  tell  what 
the  name  is,  but  feL'l  certain  it  is  neither  John  nor  Felix. 

7.  Samuel,  baptized  May  30,  1659;  died  August  21,  1659,  iu  Farm- 
ington. 

8.  Thomas,   born  about  September,    1660;  married,  June  7,   1700, 
Hannah  Rose,  and  died  May  2,  1729. 

The  church  records  of  Farmington  show  that  John 
Norton's  children  were  baptized  October,  16(31,  said  to 
be  Hannah,  aged  about  12  years;  Dorothy,  about  10; 
John,  about  8;  and  Thomas,  about  13  months.  These 
ages  were  no  doubt  a  careless  guess  of  the  clergyman. 

5.  ^oijU,"  John,Mjorn  in  Branford,  May  24,  1G50; 
lived  in  Farmington,  Connecticut,  where  he  died,  April 
25,  1725.  lie  married  Ruth  Moore,  born  January  5, 
1()57,  daughter  of  Deacon  Isaac  and  Kuth  (Stanley) 
Moore. 

Deacon  Isaac  Moore,  first  of  Farmington,  was  one 
of  the  first  settlers  of  Xorwalk.  He  married  at  Hart- 
ford, December  5,  1045,  liuth,  daughter  of  John  Stan- 
ley. John  Stanley  died  on  his  passage  to  Xew  England 
in  1034,  leaving  three  children,  one  of  whom  died 
before  March  3,  1035.  Tlie  other  two,  John  and  Ruth, 
were  committed  to  their  uncles,  Thomas  and  Timothy. 
The  son  John  was  a  Captain  in  King  Philip's  War. 
The  uncles,  Thomas  and  Timothy  Stanley,  both  after- 
wards settled  in  Hartford.  Timothy  came  in  May,  1034 ; 
Thomas  sailed  from  London  in  1035. 

Deacon  Moore  was  Representative  for  Norwalk  in 
1057.     About  1000,  he  went  back  to  Farmington,  where

danghter  of  Rev.  Henry  Smith,  of  Charlestown,  who  had 
heeo  widow  of  three  husbands.  He  was  living  in  1705. 
He  had  daughters  Ruth,  Sarah,  Mary  and  Phebe,  but 
no  sons.  He  was  Sergeant  in  1619,  and  may  be  the 
Isaac  Moore  wbo  came  in  the  ship  "Increase,"  in  1635, 
from  London  to  Boston. 

9.    Ruth,  married,  February,  1700,  or  ITOA,  Thomas  Seymour,  of

There  is  an  early  Genealogical  Chart  of  the  ^S'ortons, 
of  which  a  description  appears  in  the  "  Xew  England 
Historical  and  Genealogical  Register,"  Yolnme  18,  pages 
225-230.  That  able  genealogist,  W.  II.  AVhitmore,  fur- 
nished it  for  publication,  and  says  it  is  almost  the  only

ceeded Rev.  John  Cotton  as  minister  of  the  First  Church 
in  Boston,  where  he  died  April  5,  1663.  He  left  no 
children.  His  will  mentions  his  brother  William,  of 
Ipswich,  and  child  ;  brother  Thomas,  of  London  ;  mother, 
sister  Elizabeth,  and  wife  Mary.  His  widow's  will, 
August  20,  1677,  mentions  cousin  John  X.;  sister,  Mrs. 
Lucy  N.;  cousin  Edmund  Fernely,  of  Westoreling  Hall, 
in  County  Suffolk;  his  brother  Thomas  and  sisters 
Elizabeth  and  Mary;  and  brother  William  Xorton. 

Rev.  William."  of  Ipswich,  brother  of  Rev.  John,  had 
a  son  Rev.  John,  of  Hingham,  Massachusetts,  through

whom  the  pedigree  descended  to  Professor  Andrews 
Norton,  of  Harvard  College,  and  in  1859  was  in  pos- 
session of  his  son,  Charles  Eliot  Norton,  Esq.,  the  well 
known  author,  of  Cambridge,  Massachusetts. 

The  pamphlet  of  Mr.  Albert  B.  Norton  makes  Thomas 
son  of  13  William  and  uncle  of  Rev.  John,  to  be  Thomas 
Norton  the  first  settler  of  the  name  in  Guilford;  Francis 
Norton,  brother  of  Thomas,  to  be  the  Francis  Norton, 
one  of  Mason's  stewards  to  New  Hampshire  about  1630, 
and  father  of  Francis,  of  Branford;  and  John  Norton, 
cousin  of  the  first  Eev.  John,  and  son  of  Richard,  who 
married  Ellen  Rowley,  to  be  John,  of  Branford,  literal 
cousin  to  Francis,  of  the  same  place. 

So  far  as  I  know,  there  is  nothing  improbable  in  any 
of  this;  in  fact,  the  not  common  name  Francis,  of  such 
relation  to  John,  lends  a  probability  to  their  being  of 
this  line;  and  Rev.  John  may  have  been  most  likely  to 
enter  up  all  the  settlers  of  that  line  in  New  England. 
Still  I  know  of  no  proof  whatever. 

I  give  the  pedigree  for  what  it  is  worth,  leaving  the 
connection,  if  any,  for  further  evidence. 

I  am  considerably  indebted  to  that  learned  gentleman, 
Alvan  Talcott,  M.D.,  of  Guilford,  for  information,  and 
for  a  copy  of  the  very  scarce  Norton  pamphlet.

assistant  of  the  Colony.  After  some  years,  he  mar- 
ried Widow  Frances  Sanford,  "  a  grave  matron  of  the 
Church  in  Dorchester."  After  his  2""^  marriage,  and 
about  1636,  he  removed  to  found  the  town  of  Spring- 
field, so  named  probably  from  the  place  of  his  residence, 
Springfield,  near  Chelmsford  in  County  Essex,  England. 
He  was  a  man  of  great  enterprise,  says  Mr.  Savage,  and 
highly  honored  as  treasurer  before  leaving  the  sea 
coast,  and  as  councillor  after  until  his  publication  of 
the  dangerous  judgments  as  to  religion  which  he  had 
formed  thirty  years  before.  For  this  he  suffered  indig- 
nity in  1651,  when  his  book  was,  by  our  government, 
ordered  to  be  burned;  and  lest  the  same  form  of  purifi- 
cation might  reach  to  the  author,  he   went  home,  as

Bucks.     His  wife  died  tliere,  October  10,  1657. 

The  Massachusetts  Historical  Collection,  Volume  6, 
page  369,  4th  series,  has  a  sketch  of  him,  as  well  as 
eighteen  pages  of  letters  (369  to  386),  written  by  him 
to  John  Winthrop,  and  dated  from  Roxbury,  April  22, 
1636,  to  Springfield,  October  19,  1648.  He  settled  first 
in  Roxbury:  but  about  1636  removed  to  Springfield,  of 
which  town  he  was  the  founder.  He  there  lived  until 
1652,  when  he,  with  Captain  Smith,  his  son-in-law,  and 
Rev.  Mr.  Moxon,  the  first  minister  of  the  town,  w^ent  to 
England,  never  to  return. 

On  page  279,  of  the  same  volume,  is  a  letter  from 
Roger  AVilliams,  wherein  he  purposes  to  write  to  his 
old  friend  Pynchon  (about  1649).  Pai^e  284  is  a  letter 
from  Williams  to  AVinthrop,  received  October  23,  1650, 
wherein  Mr.  AVilliams  savs  Mr.  Caukin  tells  him  "of

Register  a  sketch  of  Mr.  Pynchon,  by  the  late  Charles  Stearns,  of  Springfield.  I  was  not 
aware  of  it  until  my  own  sketch  was  written.  The  matter  in  the  notes  herewith  is  gener- 
ally from  that  article.  Mr.  Savage  calls  the  place  of  his  death  Wraisbury.  It  is  Wyrards-

Charles  II.,  in  1G51. 

The  Massachusetts  Colonial  Records  have  frequent 
and  prominent  mention  of  him.  At  the  beginning  of 
the  first  volume,  he  appears,  with  twenty-five  others,  as 
grantees  of  the  fee  of  the  lands  of  the  Massachusetts 
Colony.  He  was  present  at  the  meeting,  May  11,  1629, 
and  the  next  day  (in  England)  chosen  Assistant,  and 
thereafter  to  1636  inclusive.  He  was  present  at  the 
meeting  of  the  Assistants  at  Southampton,  England, 
March  18,  16|^;  not  at  that  on  board  the  '-Arabella," 
on  the  23rd  of  the  same  month,  but  was  present  at  the,

all  ricrlit.  He  was  the  first  treasurer  of  the  Colonv. 
There  seems  to  have  been  confidence  in  his  fairness,  for 
in  1629  he  was  chosen  arbiter  bv  the  Brownes  in  a 
matter  of  theirs  against  the  Company,  of  which  Pyn- 
chon  wa->  a  member.^ 

At  the  General  Court  for  March,  163i,  he  was  fined 
£5  for  not  paying  his  rate  without  distraining,  because, 
as  he  alleged,  Roxbury  was  not  taxed  equally  with 
other  towns.  This  may  have  been  merely  for  example, 
as  the  same  Court  remitted  him  £5  oft*  of  £25  of  his 
ao:reement  for  the  beaver  trade.  In  1635.  he  had  bouo^ht 
land  of  Chicktanbut. 

In  March,  163f,T  William  Pynchon,  Esq.,  Henry 
Smyth  (his  son-in-law),  William  Westwood  and  five 
others  were  appointed  to  "governe  the  people  att  Con- 
necticott"'  for  the  next  year.

t  "  Early  in  1636,  they  shipped  their  goods  on  board  Governor  Winthrop's  vessel,  the 
"  'Blessing  of  the  Bay,'  for  the  Connecticut  river.  The  hardy  emigrants  threaded  their 
"  waj'  across  the  countrj-,  and  arrived  at  their  place  of  destination  during  the  first  days  of 
"May."  On  the  14th  of  May,  eight  signed  an  agreement,  a  copy  of  which  appears  in  the 
Register,  Vol.  13,  pages  295-297.  1st.  They  propose  to  get  a  minister,  with  whom  to  "joyne 
"in  Church  Covenant  to  walke  in  all  the  waj's  of  Christ."  2nd.  They  intended  forty 
families,  "yet  not  to  exceede  the  number  of  fifty  familys,  rich  and  poore,"  on  territory 
which  in  1S59  had  thirty  thousand  persons.  There  were  other  items,  to  the  number  of 
fifteen,  one  of  which  was  that  no  one  but  Mr.  Pynchon  should  have  over  ten  acres  in  his 
home  lot.  "It  is  remarkable,"  says  Mr.  Stearns,  "that  not  one  of  the  twelve  to  whom 
"were  made  the  original  allotments  of  land  (eight  of  whom  signed  the  original  agree- 
"ment),  died  there." 

In  1638,  Mr.  PjTichon  paid  more  than  half  the  taxes.  Febmar>-  14,  1638,  the  settlers, 
finding  they  were  not,  as  they  supposed,  in  Connecticut,  but  >p\ithinthe  limits  of  Massa- 
chusetts, chose  Mr.  Pynchon  their  Magistrate,  by  an  lagreement  in  his  handwriting  in 
Springfield  Records.

In  November,  1636,  he  is  member  of  the  Court  of 
Connecticut.*  In  1637, t  he  is  questioned  about  impris- 
oning an  Indian  at  Agawam,  whipping  an  Indian  and 
forcing  of  him  ;  probably  done  by  Mr.  Plum,  also  a  mem- 
ber, as  the  Court  adds:  "The  Court  is  willing  to  pass 
over  Mr.  Plum's  failinccs  a2:ainst  an  Indian."  This  was 
the  date  of  the  Pequot  war. 

Among  the  Pynchon  [)apersj  is  an  account  of  ammu- 
nition received  and  delivered  by  him,  which,  in  its 
strange  names,  ma}^  be  of  interest.  There  were  80  demi-

savs  Palfrey,  is  the  lirst  time  the  word  Springfield 
is  used,  and  he  quotes  Hutchinson  as  saying  Pyn- 
chon's  English  home  had  been  at  Springfield,  near 
Chelmsford,  in  Essex. ^  In  1G43,  the  commission  was 
received.  In  1645,  the  authoritv  to  hold  Court  ran  to 
the  Commifsioners  for  the  United  Colonies  and  Mr. 
Pynchon. 

In  1647,  he  is  authorized  to  make  freemen,  sucli  as 
'^are  in  covenant,  and  live  according  to  their  pro- 
fession." So  important  was  he  in  the  [)]antation  of

in  a  "pillowb}^""  (no  doubt  pillow-bier,  a  pillow  case,) 
sealed  up  to  the  Secretary. 

September  27,  1642,  it  was  voted  that  he  pay  acconl- 
ing  to  the  order  for  the  beaver  trade.  Septend.)er,  1648, 
he  was  to  pay  for  it  from  the  time  of  running  the  line.

meaninge,"  they  condemn  it  to  be  burned  in  the  market 
place  at  Boston,  by  the  public  executioner.  They  fur-

"  to  his  demerits,  unless  he  retract,  both  here  and  by 
"some  second  writings,  to  l)e  printed  and  dispersed  in 
''  England. "  They  also  entreated  Mr.  Korton,  of  Ips- 
wich (ante-i)age  180),  to  answer  the  book  with  all  con- 
venient speed.  In  May,  1651,  Mr.  Pynchon's  mild  re- 
traction appears : 

"According  to  the  Court's  advice,  I  have  conferred  wth  the  Reverend 
' '  Mr.  Cotton.  M>-  Norricc  and  M' •  Norton  about  some  projects  of  the

"meaninge  to  them  as  to  take  off  the  worst  construction,  and  it  hath 
"pleased  God  to  let  me  see  that  I  have  not  spoken  in  my  booke  so  fully 
"  of  the  price  and  merritt  of  Christ's  sufferings  as  I  should  have  done  for

"in  my  booke  I  call  them  but  trials  of  his  obedience,  yet  intendinge 
"thereby  to  amplyfy  and  exalt  the  mediatoriall  obedyence  of  Christ  a^ 
"the  only  meritorious  price  of  man's  redemption;  but  now  at  present  I 
"am  much  inclined  to  think  that  his  sufferings  were  appoynted  by  God 
"for  a  further  end,  namely,  as  the  due  punishment  of  o^"  sins  by  way  of 
"  satisfaction  to  divine  justice  for  man's  redemption.

The  Court  therefore,  at  his  request,  grauted  him  lib- 
erty "respectino;  the  present  trouble  of  his  famylv,"  to 
return  home,  and  have  Mr.  Norton's  answer  to  his 
book,  and  appear  again  at  the  Oetober  session.  It  was 
then  that  his  son-in-law,  Henry  Smith,  was  appointed 
to  govern  Springfield.  They  granted  Mr.  Norton  £20 
''for  his  worthy  paynes  in  his  full  answer  to  ^Ir.  Pyn- 
"  chon's  booke  ;  "  and  taking  into  consideration  ''  how

"there,  appoint  the  18th  of  the  4th  month  as  a  day  ot

In  October,  1651,  thev  order  Mr.  Norton's  book  to  be 
sent  to  England  to  be  printed,  and  continue  Mr.  Pyn- 
chon's  case  to  the  May  term,  1652,  to  allow  him  to 
consider  his  errors  and  heresies,  and  well  to  weigh  the 
judicious  answer  of  Mr.  John  Norton  thereto,  and  sus-

pended  judgment   iiutil  that  time.     Mr.  Pynehou  re- 
turned to  England  that  year.* 

The  Court  proceeded  no  further,  he  being  beyond 
their  reach,  and  very  likely  were  influenced  by  Sir 
Harry  Vane  and  others  to  commit  no  further  religious 
excesses.  In  the  31st  Volume  Massachusetts  Historical 
Collections,  page  35,  is  the  following  "copy  of  a  letter 
to  Sir  Harry  Vane  : '' 

"Honored  Sir — We  received  your  letter,  bearing  date  the  IS'h  of  April, 
"  1652,  written  in  the  behalf  of  Mr.  William  Pincheon,  who  is  one  that 
"  we  did  all  love  and  respect.  But  his  book,  and  the  doctrine  therein 
"  contained,  we  cannot  but  abhor  as  pernicious  and  dangerous;  and  are 
"much  grieved  that  such  an  erroneous  pamphlet  was  penned  by  any 
"  New  England  man,  especially  a  Magistrate  amongst  us,  wherein  he 
"  taketli  upon  him  to  condemn  the  judgment  of  most,  if  not  all,  both 
"ancient  and  modern  divines,  who  were  learned,  orthodox  and  godly, 
"  in  a  point  of  so  great  weight  and  concernment  as  tends  to  the  salvation 
"of  God's  elect,  and  the  contrary  which  he  maintains  to  the  destruction 
"  of  such  as  follow  it.  Neither  have  we  ever  heard  of  any  one  godly, 
"  orthodox  divine  that  ever  held  what  he  hath  written;  nor  do  we  know 
"  any  one  of  our  ministers,  in  all  the  four  jurisdictions,  that  doth  approve 
"of  the  same,  but  do  all  judge  it  as  erroneous  and  heretical.  And  to 
"  to  the  end  that  we  might  give  satisfaction  to  all  the  world  of  our  just 
"proceedings  against  him,  and  for  the  avoiding  of  any  just  offense  to 
"  be  taken  against  us,  we  causiil  Mr.  John  Norton,  teacher  of  the  church 
"at  Ipswich,  to  answer  his  l)ook  fully,  which,  if  it  be  printed,  we  hope 
"  it  will  give  your  honoreil  self  and  all  indifferent  men  full  satisfaction. 

"  ^Ir.  Pincheon  might  have  kept  his  judgment  to  himself,  as  it  seems 
"  he  did  above  thirty  years,  most  of  which  time  he  haih  lived  amongst  us 

*  Mr.  Stearns  says  that,  on  his  return,  he  was  accompanied  by  Rev.  Mr.  Moxon,  the 
cler^'yman  of  Sprinj^'Rekl,  and  his  family.  Mr.  Pynchon's  family  remained,  and  Henry 
Smith  returned  next  year.  It  may  be  noticed,  that  I  hare  said  Mr.  Moxon  returned  with 
Mr.  Smith,  but  Mr.  Stearns  is  probably  correct.

"  with  honor,  much  respect  aud  love.  But  when  God  left  him  to  him- 
"self.  in  the  publishing  and  spreading  of  his  erroneous  books  here 
"  amongst  us,  to  the  endangering  of  the  faith  of  such  as  might  come  to 
"  read  them  (as  the  like  effects  have  followed  the  reading  of  other  erro" 
"neous  books  brought  over  into  these  parts),  we  held  it  our  duty,  and 
"  believe  we  were  called  of  God,  to  proceed  against  him  accordingly; 
"and  this  we  can  further  say.  and  that  truly,  that  we  used  all  hnvful 
"  Christian  means,  with  as  much  tenderness,  respect  and  love  as  he  could 
"expect,  which  we  think  he  himself  will  acknowledge.  For  we  desired 
"divers  of  our  elders,  such  as  he  himself  liked,  to  confer  with  him 
•'privately,  lovingly  and  meekly,  to  see  if  they  could  prevail  with  him 
"by  arguments  from  the  Scriptures,  which  accordingly  was  done;  and 
"he  was  then  thereby  so  far  convinced  that  he  seemed  to  yield,  for  sub- 
"  stance,  the  case  in  controversy,  signed  with  his  own  hand.  And  for  the 
"better  contirming  of  him  in  the  truth  of  God,  Mr.  Norton  left  with  him 
"  a  copy  of  the  book  he  writ  in  answer  to  him;  and  the  Court  gave  him 
"  divers  months  to  consider,  both  of  the  book  and  what  had  been  spoken 
"  unto  him  by  the  elders.  But  in  the  interim  (as  it  is  reported),  he 
"  received  letters  from  England  which  encouraged  him  in  his  errours, 
"  to  the  great  grief  of  us  all,  and  of  divers  others  of  the  people  of  God 
"  amongst  us.  AVe  therefore  leave  the  author,  together  with  the  fautors 
"and  maiutainers  of  such  opinions,  to  the  great  Judge  of  all  the  earth. 
"  who  judgeth  righteously,  and  is  no  respecter  of  persons. 

"Touching  that  which  vour  honoured  self  doth  advise  us  unto,  viz: 
"  not  to  censure  any  persons  for  matters  of  a  religious  nature  or  concern- 
"  ment,  we  desire  to  follow  any  good  advice  or  counsel  from  you,  or  any

"  in  Mr.  Pincheon's  case,  either  for  substance  or  circumstance,  as  far  as 
"  we  can  discern,  otherwise  than  according  unto  rule,  and  as  we  believe

Roger  Williams,  in  a  letter  to  John  Wintlirop,  Jr., 
October  23,  1G50,'''  refers  to  the  matter  of  the  book, 
wherein  is  some  derogation  of  the  blood  of  Christ.  He 
says:  "If  it  come  to  yonr  hand,  I  hope  to  see  it;  how-

Norton's  answer  was  published  in  London  in  lGo3, 
entitled :  "-'A  Discussion  of  that  Great  Point  in  Divinity, 
"  The  Sutterings  of  Christ,  kc''     270  pages. 

Pynchon  published  a  rejoinder  in  1055,  440  pages, 
quarto,  dedicated  to  Oliver  St.  John,  esteeming  him  an 
able  judge,  not  only  in  controversies  which  concern  the 
common  law  of  the  land,  ''but  also  in  divine  controver- 
sies," and  followed  up  the  discussion  in  a  book  printed 
in  1602,  called  ''The  Covenant  of  Nature  made  with 
Adam  Described,  &c."  The  address  to  the  reader  is 
dated :  "  From  my  study,  AVray>bur3%  February  10, 1661." 
He  fled  from  Xew  England  to  Old  England  to  enjoy 
religious  freedom.*     Palfrey  would  seem  to  think  that 


*Mr.  Stearns,  in  his  article,  says:  "  It  is  not  easy,  at  tliis  time,  to  look  back  upon  such 
"  proceeding  with  complacency;  they  cannot  but  be  regarded  as  the  veriest  ebullitions  of 
"  bigotry.  Here  was  a  man  who  hatl  left  home  and  friends  and  the  comforts  of  ci\ilized 
"  life  for  the  sake  of  enjoyinfj  religious  freedouj ;  had  been  among  the  foremost  in  the 
"  councils  of  the  colony;  had  jdanted  two  settlements,  the  last  one  in  the  midst  of  the 
"  wilderness ;  had  borne  more  than  his  share  in  the  toils  and  dangers  of  the  Massachubetts 
"  Colony;  and  had  through  all  maintained  a  Christian  character,  secure  beyond  the  charj;e 
"  of  inconsistency  or  taint;  cutoff  from  influence  and  power,  publicly  condemned  and  pub- 
••licly  insulted,  for  giving  utterance  to  a  doctrine  in  religion  at  variance,  in  nice  points, 
"  with  the  Churches  and  the  General  Court.  Though  Mr.  Pynchon  recanted,  it  is  not  to 
"  be  doubted  that  these  facts  and  considerations  weighed  upon  his  mind  in  all  their 
"  injustice,  and  influenced  him  in  his  decision  to  return  to  England,  and  there  spend  the 
"  remainder  of  his  days.  .  .  .  That  he  was  convinced  of  his  alleged  errors  against  his  will, 
"  and  that  one  of  his  motives  for  returning  to  England  was  that  he  might  enjoy  the 
*'  freedom  denied  him  here,  is  evident  from  his  subsequent  action." 

"  In  1655,  his  book  was  issued  in  a  new  edition  in  London,  by  Thomas  Newbury,  with 
"additions,  in  which  Mr.  Norton's  book  was  disput&l  by  AVilliam  Pynchon,  Esq.,  late  of 
"  New  England."  The  venerable  controversialist  endeavoreil,  in  his  new  edition,  to  "clear 
"  several  scriptures  of  the  greatest  note  in  these  controversies  from  Mr.  Nortons  corrupt 
"  exposition,"  and  fully  reiterated  all  his  former  opinions.  This  book  covers  440  v>ages 
"quarto,  and  its  leading  doctrine,  as  stated  on  the  title  page,  and  as  given  by  Cotton 
"  Mather,  is  one  which  has  been  universally  adopted  by  the  orthodox  Christianity  of  later 
"  days.  The  writer  was  only  a  century  or  two  in  advance  of  his  age,  and  in  that  consisted 
"his  criiue."

the  Courts  were  bound  to  their  course,  as  the  violation 
of  the  law  against  heresy  was  matter  of  public  scandal, 
and  the  law  could  not  retain  its  authority  and  bow 
before  "an  ancient  and  venerated  authority."  The  whole 
proceeding,  however,  seems  to  have  been  inspired  by 
theological  zeal,  rather  than  care  to  preserve  crerlit  for 
law  with  the  people  of  Massachusetts — a  view  sustained 
by  the  statement,  in  tlie  appendix  of  Norton's  book,  that 
when  Pynchon's  book  reached  Massachusetts,  a  vesse 
was  iust  o:oino'  to  sail  to  Eno^land,  and  the  Court  there- 
fore  hastened  its  action.* 

Mr.  Pjaichon  made  a  good  selection  for  the  town,  of 
Agawam,  of  which  he  was,  says  "  Barber's  Historical  Col- 
lections," the  father.  The  settlers  went  there  in  1635, 
and  began  to  build  a  house  on  the  west  side;  but  as  the 
Indians  informed  them  the  river  overflowed  there,  thev 
built  on  the  east  side,  "  probably  the  lot  afterwards 
owned  by  Mr.  Pynchon,  and  still  owned  by  his  descend- 
ants." It  is  supposed  they  returned  to  Roxbury  in  the 
fall,  and  came  agnin  in  the  spring  of  1636  to  Agawam, 
called  in  1640,  b}"  town  vote,  Springfield.  The  first 
settlers  made  an  agreement,  the  second  item  of  which 
limited  the  number  of  families  from  forty  to  fifty.  The 
land  was  fertile,  and  the  location  a  happ}^  one  for  trade. 
Articles  could  be  sent  down  the  river  by  boat,  but  the 
head  of  navigation  was  just  above,  so  that  we  do  not 
wonder  that  Mr.  Pynchon  dealt  in  beaver,  and  his 
letters  related  to  trade  and  wampum  as  well  as  to  spir- 
itual and  civil  affairs.

In  May,  1051,  as  there  was  a  present  necessity  that 
some  care  be  taken  of  Springfield,  they  being  destitute 
of  a  Magistrate,  or  other,  to  put  issue  to  difference, 
our  Mr.  Henry  Smith  was  appointed  by  the  General 
Court  for  tht  year  ensuing,  or  until  further  order,  to 
have  full  power  and  authority  to  govern  the  inhabit- 
ants of  Springfield,  and  to  hear  and  determine  all 
"  cases  and  offenses,  both  civil  and  criminal,  that  reach 
"  not  life,  limb  or  banishment."  The  next  entry  is  a 
dismissal  to  him,  he  having  "  urgent  occasions  to  return 
home."  He  was  quite  prominent  as  long  as  he  re- 
mained in  Springfield;  and  says  Mr.  Morris,  in  his 
'•  Early  History  of  Springfield,"  a  gentleman  of  capacity 
and  culture. 

In  Volume  51,  Massachusetts  Historical  Collections, 
page  310,  is  a  very  business-like  letter  from  him,  ]^o- 
vember  2,  1640,  to  John  Winthrop,  relating  to  a  power 
of  attorney  from  the  two  sisters  of  John  Alline,  (per- 
haps Allen,  of  Springfield,  1639,)  to  John  Porter,  of 
Hingham,  to  receive  their  brother's  estate.  He  says: 
''  Kow  I  was  made  executor  by  his  will  in  my  father's 
absence."  As  the  debts  had  to  be  paid  to  this  estate 
in  corn,  he  proposes  to  pay  what  money  is  paid,  and 
send  the  corn  to  Boston.  His  "father"  means  his 
father-in-law. 

In  the  proceedings  of  the  Massachusetts  Historical 
Society  for  1869-70,  page  309-311,  is  a  letter  from  Henry 
Smith  to  his  brother-in-law,  John  Pynchon,  announcing 
the  death  of  the  father:

Burke,  in  his  '^  General  Armory,"  gives  arms: 

"PiNCHYON.  (Writtle,  County  Essex.)  Per  bend  argent  and  sable; 
"three  roiindles  within  a  bordure  eni:;railed;  counterchaniied.  Crest:  A 
*  tiger's  head,  erased  argent. " 

These  arms  are  like  those  given  Piuchon  in  the 
Herald's  visitations  of  Essex  in  1612  and  1634  (see  post- 
pages  203  and  204),  but  the  crest  is  there  a  tiger's  head 
erased  azure  crined  or. 

The  cut  herewith  is  taken 
from  "  Sucklino:'s  Memorials  of 
County  Essex,''  London,  1845, 
where  it  accompanies  the  fol- 
lowing inscription  : 

"Herelyethy?  body  of  John  Pynchou, 
"of  Writtle,  Esqi*-.  son  of  Sir  Edward 
"Pynchon,  of  Writtle.  Knt.,  who  de-

"who  departed  this  life  y^'  10  day  of  May,  1675."

1.  PJtUiam  lUatlOtUOlilj,  was  of  Cambrido^e,  Mas- 
sachusetts, in  1632.  He  came  probably,  with  his  family 
of  four  children,  in  the  "Lion,"  from  London,  arriving 
September  16,  of  that  year.*  He  was  freeman,  Novem- 
ber 6,  1632.  He  removed  to  Hartford,  Connecticut, 
June,  1636,  "in  the  great  exodus."  Mr.  Savage  says 
he  lived  there  "  in  the  highest  esteem,  no  man  ever 
"more  often  chosen  representative;  for,  between  Octo- 
"  ber,  1656,  and  May,  1675,  hardly  a  single  year  missed 
"  his  service.     He  brought  with  him: 

2.  Sarah,  married,  September  17,  1646,  John  Wilcox,  son  of  .John, 
of  Hartford.  She  had  a  daughter  Sarah,  born  October  3,  1648,  who 
married  Lowe,  and  died  soon  after.  Wilcox  married  again,  and  lived 
in  Middletown. 

3.  "William,  who  died  young. 

4.  Mary,  married,  about  1656,  Thomas  Stoughton,  of  Windsor,  son 
of  Thomas.  Thomas,  Jr.,  was  an  original  proprietor  in  Hartford,  and 
died  September,  1684.  Children-  (l)John,  born  June  20,  1657;  grad- 
uate of  Yale.  (2)  Mary,  born  January  1,  1659;  married,  June  3,  1677, 
Samuel  Farnsworth.  (3)  Elizabeth,  born  November  18,  1660;  married 
l«t'  in  1680,  James  Mackman,  a  rich  merchant;  and  2»'i.  in  1699,  John 
Elliot,  Esq.  (4)  Thomas,  born  November  21,  1663;  married  1st,  De- 
cember 31,  1691,  Dorothy,  daughter  of  Secretary  John  Talcott;  and 
2nd.  in  1696,    Abigail  Lothrop;  had  eleven  children;  was  a  Captain;

and  died  January  14,  1749.  (5)  Samuel,  born  September  8,  1665,  who 
had  a  son  of  the  same  name  in  1702,  and  perhaps  others.  (6)  Israel. 
born  August  21,  1667,  who  had  descendants,  (7)  Rebecca,  born  June 
19,  1673,  who  married,  in  1694,  Allerton  Mather. 

5.  John,  settled  in  Farmingtou:  had  nine  children,  and  died  in 
1689.  He  was  Representative  in  1672-7;  Assistant  in  1679;  had  dis- 
tinction in  the  militia,  and  was  of  the  standing  Council  for  affairs  in 
King  Philip's  War.  Of  his  seven  sons,  five  were  Representatives.  Of 
the  other  two  I  know  nothing. 

William  married  2"*^'  July  2,  1644,  Elizabeth  Stone. 
(What  relation  was  she,  if  any,  to  Rev.  Samuel  Stone, 
of  Hartford?) 

6.  Elizabeth,  born  May  17,  1645:  married,  November  22,  1662,  John 
Terry,  of  Windsor,  and  had  several  children. 

7.  Samuel,  born  October  20,  1646;  died  at  middle  age. 

8.  30 Oppll,  born  about  1648.4- 

9.  Sarah,  again,  born  March  17,  1650;  married,  November  10,  1669, 
Jonathan  Ashle}',  of  Springtield,  who  removed  to  Hartford ;  they  had 
several  children. 

10.  Thomas,  born  about  1651;  lived  in  Hartford;  had  seven  chil- 
dren, and  died  in  1725. 

11.  Rebecca,  born  about  1656. 

His  will,  dated  May  16,  1675,  was  proved  the  18th 
of  the  next  October.  His  widow  died  in  1682,  when 
Rebecca  was  unmarried.  Mr.  Wadsworth  was  select- 
man repeatedly  in  Hartford.  In  1662,  lie  was  one  of 
a  committee  of  three  to  pi'ocure  "  corn  or  provisions, 
"  as  they  can  agree  w"'  p''sons  indebted  to  y''  Countrey." 

In  1665,  he  was  member  of  the  important  military 
committee  mentioned  under  Matthew  Allyn.     In  1670, 


WADSWORTH.  207 

he  was  chairman  of  the  committee  to  equalize  the  value 
of  the  "  several  plantations."  (towns.)  August  7, 1673, 
when  there  was  "a  great  appearance  of  danger  by  the 
"  approach  of  the  Dutch  for  our  own  safety  and  defence, 
''  till  the  general  court  in  October  next,"  the  Governor, 
Deputy  Governor,  Assistants,  and  Captain  Benjamin 
Newbury,  Mr.  Giles  Hamlin,  Mr.  William  Wadswortb, 
Captain  William  Curtice,  Lieutenant  William  Fowler 
and  Lieutenant  Thomas  Munson  were  empowered  to 
act  as  the  "Grand  Committee  of  this  Colony  in  estab- 
"  lishing  and  commissionating  of  military  officers,  in 
"  pressing  of  men,  horses,  ships,  barques  or  other  vessels, 
"  arms,  ammunition,  provisions,  carriages,  or  whatever 
"they  judge  needful  for  our  defence,  and  to  manage, 
"  order  and  dispose  of  the  militiae  of  the  Colony  in  the 
"  best  way  and  manner  they  can  for  o'  defense  and 
"safety." 

He  was  representative  in  1652,  and  in  1653,  when 
they  sent  Captain  Mason  one  barrel  of  powder.  In 
1672,  he  vvas  one  of  a  committee  of  three  to  "hear  the 
"  Indian  com[>laint8,  and  to  draw  the  same  to  an  issue 
"  as  near  as  they  can,  and  to  present  the  same  for  con- 
"  firmation." 

8.  ^oorplj  iUatlOltiartlj,-  son  of  Willam/  born 
about  1648,  in  Hartford,  Connecticut,  became  a  noted, 
courageous  and  leading  man.  He  was  a  lieutenant, 
and  served  in  King  Philip's  war.  "  But  he  is  most 
"  remembered  with  gratitude  in  our  times  as  the  pre- 
"  server  of  the  Charter,  in  opposition  to  the  demand  of 


208  WADSWORTH. 

"  the  Royal  Governor,  by  the  perilous  expedient  of 
"extinction  of  the  lights  in  the  Council  Chamber,  Oc- 
"  tober  31,  1687,  and  hiding  the  parchment  in  the  great 
"  oak/'  * 

He  married  Elizabeth,  daughter  of  Bartholomew  Bar- 
nard, of  Hartford.  Her  father  was  perhaps,  but  not 
known  to  be,  son  of  Bartholomew  Bernard,  of  Boston 
in  1651,  carpenter,  who  had  perhaps  been,  a  dozen  years 
before,  at  York,  and  brought  from  England  a  family — 
Matthew,  and  perhaps  others,  of  whom  no  record  is 
found. 

Bartholomew  Barnard,  of  Hartford,  married,  October, 
1647,  Sarah,  daughter  of  Thomas  Birchard,  and  died 
in  1698,  leaving  John,  Joseph,  and  four  daughters,  Eliz- 
abeth Wadsworth,  Sarah  Steele,  born  December  3,  1648, 
Mary  Bemis,  and  Hannah,  unmarried  at  the  date  of  his 
will,  in  1692. 

Mr.  Bartholomew  Barnard  had  the  bad  luck  to  be 
lined  twice  by  the  Council,  October  11,  1675,  once  2^;.  6d. 
for  "  neglect  of  his  standing  upon  guard,"  and  55.  for 
''his  son's  shooting  of  his  gun;"  but  that  he  was  still 
held  in  respect,  is  shown  by  the  then  honorable  title 
of  Mr. 

Of  Thomas  Birchard,  it  may  be  said,  he  was  of  Rox- 
bury;  came  in  the  "  Truelove,"  from  London,  in  1635, 
aged  40;  with  wife  Mary,  aged  38  ;  and  probably  chil- 
dreJi  :  P^lizabeth,  aged  13;  Mary,  12  ;  Sarah,  9  ;  Susan, 
8  ;  John,  7;  and  Ann,  18  months.     He  was  freeman  May

17,  1637,  when  the  spelling  is  Bircher.  In  the  custom 
house  record,  at  London,  it  is  Burchard,  and  he  wrote 
it  Birch  wood.  He  removed  to  Hartford,  where  he  was 
an  original  proprietor,  though  not  a  tirst  settler.  He 
removed  again  to  Say  brook,  whence  he  was  represent- 
ative in  1650  and  '51,  and  died  in  1684.  He  may  have 
gone  back  to  Roxbury,  where  it  appears  by  the  Church 
records  tbat  '^Goodwife  Birchard  was  buried  24  March, 
1655;"  but  perhaps  she  was  the  wife  of  a  Thomas  who 
died  October  3,  1657,  in  the  adjoining  town  of  Dor- 
chester. 

Joseph  Wadswortb  had  by  Elizabeth,  his  V^  wife: 

12.  .Joseph,  born  in  1682. 

13.  Elizabeth, 

14.  .Jonathan,  baptized  February  20,  1687;  died  young, 
lo.  Ichabod. 

16.  ^attttatl,  married  Aaron  Cooke, ^  who  was  born  in  1689,  son 
of  Aaron,  ^  Aaron,-  Aaron,  i    (See  antt-page  157.) 

17.  Jonathan. 

His  V^  wife  died  October  26,  1710,  and  he,  perhaps, 
married  2"'^'  Elizabeth,  V)orn  February  21,  1656,  daughter 
of  John  Talcott,  the  second.  lie  married,  late  in  life, 
Marv,  dauirhter  of  John  Blackleach,  the  vouni^er,  who 
had  been  1^'  wife  of  Thomas  Wells,  the  third:  next  of 
John  Olcutt,  and  she  survived  Wadswortli.  His  father- 
in-law,  Talcott,  was  representative,  captain,  treasurer, 
and  assistant  of  the  colony;  commissioner,  much  in 
service  in  King  Philip's  war;  sometimes  having  com- 
mand of  all  the  colonv's  forces.     He  died  in  1688. 


210  WADSWORTH. 

John  Talcott,  the  first,  was  as  eminent  in  Hartford, 
and  died  soon  after  May,  1659.  Wells  was  a  grandson 
of  Governor  Thomas. 

Captain  Wadsworth  lived  in  lively  times.  He  was 
propounded  for  freeman  May  18, 1676,  and  next  follows 
in  the  record  a  direction  that  soldiers  wounded  in  the 
country's  service  "  shall  have  cure  and  dyet  on  the 
"country  acc't,  and  half  pay,  till  they  are  cured.*' 
Wadsworth  himself  is  then  called  ''  L"^  Jos.  Wads- 
worth." 

At  a  meeting  of  the  Council,  September  6,  1675,  as 
Sergeant,  he  was  ordered  to  take  twenty  dragoons  and 
pass  up  to  Westfield,  to  assist  them  against  the  common 
enemy,  "  in  the  defending  of  the  say'^  Westfield."  In 
case  he  heard  any  of  the  Connecticut  plantations  were 
assaulted,  he  was  ''  forthwith  to  post  away  to  relieve 
"  the  place  or  plantations  assaulted."  Should  he  be 
assaulted  on  the  wav,  he  was  to  use  his  utmost  endeavor 
''  to  defend  yourselves,  and  to  destroy  the  enemie." 
The  9th  of  September,  the  dragoons  with  Sergeant 
Wadsworth  were  ordered  to  return  forthwith.  January 
14,  1675,  he  was  appointed  Lieutenant  of  the  forces 
belonging  to  Hartford  county. 

In  the  Connecticut  Colonial  Records,  Volume  3,  pages 
392-4,  are  the  rules  for  governing  the  soldiers. 

The  first  provides  for  blasphemy:  having  the  tongue 
bored  through  with  a  hot  iron. 

The  second,  oaths  and  acts  in  derogation  of  God's 
honor:  loss  of  pay,  and  other  punishments  at  discretion. 


WADSWORTH.  211 

The  third,  absence  from  worship  and  prayer :  pun- 
ished at  discretion. 

Wadsworth's  soldiers  were  dragoons,  so  that  they 
must  have  been  efficient  for  quick  relief. 

In  1G89,  he  is  chosen  lieutenant  for  the  train  band 
of  the  north  side  of  Hartford.  In  October,  1697,  he  was 
confirmed  captain  of  the  same  band. 

In  1686,  the  attempt  was  made  by  the  King  to  de- 
prive Connecticut  of  its  charter.  Sir  Edmund  Andros 
wrote  from  Boston  to  the  Governor  and  company,  ask- 
ing them,  in  obedience  to  the  King,  to  resign  it  to  his 
pleasure.  In  October,  1687,  "  Sir  Edmund,  with  his  suit 
"  and  more  than  sixty  reguh^r  troops,  came  to  Hartford 
"  when  the  Assembly  were  sitting,  demanded  the  Char- 
"  ter,  and  declared  the  government  under  it  to  be  dis- 
"  solved."  The  well-established  tradition  is  given  l>y 
Trumbull  in  his  liistory."^  The  Assembly  strongly  ob- 
jected, and  Governor  Treat  seems  to  have  argued  the 
matter  at  length.  "  The  important  matter  was  debated 
^' and  kept  in  suspense  until  the  evening,  when  the 
"  Charter  was  brought  and  laid  upon  tlie  table  where 
"  the  Assembly  were  sitting.  By  this  time,  great  num- 
'^  hers  of  people  were  assembled,  and  men  sufficiently 
"bold  to  enterprise  whatever  might  be  necessarj'  or  ex- 
"  pedient.  The  lights  were  instantly  extinguished,  and 
"  Captain  Wads  worth,  in  the  most  silent  and  secret 
''  manner,  carried  off  the  Charter  and  secreted  it  in  a 
"  large  hollow  tree   fronting  the   house  of  Honorable

"  Samuel  Wyllys,  theu  one  of  the  magistrates  of  the 
"  colony.  The  candles  were  officiously  relighted,  but 
"  the  patent  was  gone,  and  no  discovery  could  he  made 
''  of  it,  or  of  the  person  who  had  conveyed  it  away."  * 

Sir  Edmund  assumed  the  government,  and  caused  the 
word  "  Finis"  to  he  put  to  the  records.  Secretary  Allyn 
was  made  hy  Andros  a  member  of  his  Council,  and  we 
find  him  t  writing  to  Andros,  October  15,  1688,  making 
"bold  to  inform  your  Excellency,  that  if  3^ou  please  to 
"  make  L"^  Joseph  Wadsworth  Lieutenant  of  the  com- 
"  pany  of  the  north  side  of  o'  towne,  and  Mr.  Xichols 
"  of  the  South  side,  it  will  be  most  accommodating  to 
"  the  people,  as  their  habitations  are  settled.*'  ^^hen 
deputy,  in  October,  1694,  Wadsworth  is  styled  Captain. 

In  1693,  tbe  royal  governor,  Fletcher,  having  tried 
in  vain  to  get  control  of  the  militia,  resolved  to  try 
force.  October  26,  he  came  to  Hartford  and  demanded 
of  the  assembly  the  surrender,  and  commanded  that 
the  militia  be  summoned  under  arms  that  he  might  beat 
up  for  volunteers.  But  when  the  train  bands  had  gath- 
ered with  their  guns,  the  Assembly  declined.  Governor 
Treat  was  ofl:ered  a  commission,  but  he  refused  it.  As 
the  train  bands  were  ranged,  Trumbull  says :  "  The 
'•tradition   is.   Captain    Wadsworth,  the  senior  officer. 


"*  Mr.  J.  H.  Trumbull  thinks  Mr.  Trumbull,  the  historian,  got  his  account  from  George 

Wjilys,  Secretary  from  1735  to  1796,  with  whom  he  was  in  constant  communication  during 

his  writing.     George  was  grandson  of  Sanmel,  on  whose  estate  the  oak  stands,  and  who 

was  Magistrate  when  the  Charter  was  hidden.     The  office  of  Secretary  was  in  the  Wyllys

"  was  walking  in  front  of  the  companies  and  exercising 
"  the  soldiers.  Col.  Fletcher  ordered  his  commission  and 
''instructions  to  be  read.  Captain  Wadsworth  instantly 
"commanded,  'Beat  the  drums,'  and  there  was  such  a 
"  roaring  of  them  that  nothing  else  could  be  heard. 
"  Col.  Fletcher  commanded  silence ;  but  no  sooner  had 
"Bayard  made  an  attempt  to  read  again  than  Wads- 
"  worth  commands:  'Drum  I  drum  I  I  say.'  The  drum- 
"  mers  understood  their  business,  and  instantly  beat  up 
"  with  all  the  art  and  life  of  which  they  were  masters. 
'"Silence!  Silence!' says  the  Colonel,  l^o  sooner  was 
"  there  a  pause  than  Wadsworth  speaks  with  great 
"  earnestness :  '  Drum !  drum !  I  say; '  and  turning  to  his 
"excellency,  said:  'If  I  am  interrupted  again,  I  will 
"  make  the  sun  shine  through  you  in  a  moment!'  'No 
"  further  attempts  were  made  to  read  or  to  enlist  men." 
So  many  people  collected,  and  their  feelings  seemed  so 
strong,  that  the  Governor  returned  to  New  York.* 

Mr.  Hollistery  says:  "This  lively  episode,  like  the 
"  hiding  of  the  Charter,  rests  upon  tradition,  but  it  has 
"  been  transmitted  through  such  hands,  and  with  so 
"  little  variation,  that  its  accuracy  was  never  for  a  mo- 
"  ment  questioned.  Such  a  tradition  is  as  worthy  of 
"  trust  as  a  record.  The  story  is  in  perfect  keeping 
"  with  the  traits  of  our  people.  As  usual,  the  authori- 
"  ties  were  only  passive,  while  the  active  resistance  came

''  from  a  less  responsible    source."     (See  also  Holmes' 
Aunals,  Volume  1,  page  449.)  "^ 

There  is  some  record  coniirmatiou  of  the  Charter 
story.  Wadsworth  produced  it  to  the  Governor  and 
Council,  May  25,  1698  ;  and  "  he  affirming  that  he  had 
"  order  from  the  Assembly  to  be  the  keeper  of  it,"  it 
was  concluded  it  should  remain  in  his  custody. y 

It  is  also  very  strongly  confirmed  by  a  grant  of  the 
General  Court  in  May,  1715,  ''  upon  consideration  of 
"  of  the  faithful  and  good  service  of  Captain  Joseph 
"  Wadsworth,  of  Hartford,  especially  in  securing  the 
"  duplicate  charter  of  this  Colony  in  a  ver}'  troublesome 
"  season  when  our  constitution  was  struck  at,  and  in 
"  safely  keeping  and  preserving  the  same  ever  since 
^' unto  this  day,"  as  a  "token  of  their  grateful  resent- 
"  ment  of  such  his  faithful  and  good  service."  % 

Mr.  Wadsworth  was  Deputy  at  General  Court  in  1685, 
1694,  1695, 1699, 1703, 1705, 1706  and  1715.  He  received 
other  honors;  and  although  so  out-spoken  that  he  twice 
oifended  the  Assembly  by  too  strong  a  censure  of  their 

*  The  course  taken  here  by  Captain  Wadsworth  is  the  same  as  that  suggested  by  the 
Deputy  Governor  and  Councii,  per  John  Allyn,  Secretary,  Julj- 14,  1675,  to  Captain  Bull, 
in  the  very  similar  attempt  of  Governor  Andros,  at  Saybrook :  '*  We  wish  he  had  been
