NOTES FAMILY.

Reverend William Noves was born in Engrland duringr the
year 1568. He matriculated at University College, Oxford,
15 November, 1588, at the age of twenty years, and was
graduated B. A., 31 May, 1592. He was Rector of the Parish
of Choulderton in Wiltshire, situated between Amesbury in
Wiltshire and Andover in Hampshire, and eleven miles from
Salisbury, which contains the great Salisbury Cathedral, built
in the year 1220 A. D., whose lofty tower overlooks the dead
Roman city of Sarum and " Stonehenge," the ruins of the won-
derful prehistoric temple of the ancient Celtic Druids, in the
midst of Salisbury Plain. The register of the Diocese shows
that he officiated in the Parish from 1602 to 1620, at which time
he resigned. He was then appointed Attorney General to the
King. He was succeeded as rector by his son. Rev. Nathan
Noyes.

Rev. William Noyes married Ann Parker, who was a sister
of Rev. Robert Parker, a learned Puritan divine, and a graduate
of Oxford, who was driven to Holland for " non-conformity " to
Queen Elizabeth's forms.

He died intestate before 30 April, 1622, when an inventory
was made, and his widow was appointed administratrix 28
May, 1622 (Court of Archdeacon of Sarum). His widow was
buried at Choulderton 1 March, 1657, aged eighty-two years

8 THE NOYES FAMILY.

(Parish Register), Her will is at Somerset House, London
(Wooten, 130), and mentions sons James and Nicholas in New-
England. Will was dated March, 1655, and proved 21 April,
1658, at London. James, his brother Nicholas and their cousin,
Thomas Parker, came to New England in 1634, and from James
and Nicholas Noyes have sprung the Noyes family in America.

^ James ^ Noyes was born about the year 1608 at Choulderton
in Wiltshire, England. He matriculated at Brasenose College,
Oxford, 22 August, 1627, but was not graduated. The Rev.
Thomas Parker took him for his assistant at his school in New-
bury in Berkshire.

He married, early in 1634, Sarah, eldest daughter of Mr.
Joseph Brown of Southampton, England. In March of that
year they embarked for New England on the "Mary and John"
of London. They settled in Medford, where the county records
show him to have been a resident in 1634, where he was made
Freeman, September 3, 1634, and where "he preached" (Brook's
History of Medford). It is said that " for a time he officiated
in the Watertown Church" (probably as an assistant to Rev.
George Phillips).

His cousin. Rev. Thomas Parker, was at first called to
Ipswich to join M'ith Mr. Ward, but he, choosing rather to
accompany some of his countrymen (who came out of Wiltshire
in England) to that new place, than to be engaged with such as
he had not been acquainted withal before, removed with them
and settled at Newbury (Coffins' Newbury, pp. 11, 12). Newbury,
Mass., was incorporated as a town in the spring of 1635.

Uniform tradition asserts that the few original settlers came
by water from Ipswich through Plum Island Sound and up the
river Quascacunquen (now river Parker) to the place they had

THE NOYES FAMILY. 9

selected as their future habitation. Tradition also asserts that
they landed on the north bank of the river about one hundred
rods below the spot where the bridge now stands, and that
Nicholas Noyes was the first who leaped ashore. Among these
original settlers was Mr. Thomas Parker, Mr. James Noyes and
wife, and brother Nicholas Noyes (Newbury, p. 15).

Rev. Mr. Parker and Rev. Mr. Noyes began, almost imme-
diately, to form a church. The first meeting was on the Sabbath
and held in the open air, under a tree. Rev. Mr. Parker was
chosen pastor " in that waye of church discipline which he then
preached for, the congregational waye" (Newbury, p. 17).

Mr. James Noyes was at the same time chosen teacher. He
was the son of a minister, who married a sister of Mr. Robert
Parker, and was, of course, a cousin of Mr. Thomas Parker.

Rev. Cotton Mather in his "Magnolia" says: "They
taught in one school (in England), came over in one ship, were
pastor and teacher in one church and, Mr. Parker continuing
always in celibacy, they lived in 07te house till death separated
them for a time."

For a few years after the settlement of the town their resi-
dence was on the west side of the " lower green," but on the
removal of the meeting-house Mr. Noyes built a house in what
is now Parker street. It is still standing and is owned by one
of his descendants, Mr. Silas Noyes, and is one of the oldest
houses in Newbury. Of Mr. James Noyes his cousin Parker
writes: " Mr. James Noyes, my worthy colleague in the ministry
of the gospel, was a man of singular qualifications, in piety
excelling, an implacable enemy to all heresie and schism, and a
most able warriour against the same. He was of a reaching
and ready apprehension, a large invention, a most profound

10 THE NOYES FAMILY.

judgment, a rare and tenacious and comprehensive memory,
fixed and un movable in his grounded conceptions, sure in words
and speach, without rashness ; gentle and mild in all his expres-
sions, without all passion or provoking language. And as he
was a notable disputant, so he never would provoke his adver-
sary, saving by the short knocks and heavy weight of argument.
He was of so loving, and compassionate, and humble carriage,
that I believe never were any acquainted with him but did desire
the continuance of his society and acquaintance. He was reso-
lute for truth and in defense thereof, had no respect to any
persons. He was a most excellent counsellor in doubts, and
could strike at a hair's breadth, like the Benjamites, and expedite
the entangled out of the briars. He was courageous in danger,
and still was apt to believe the best, and made fair weather in a
storm. He was much honored and esteemed in the country, and
his death was much bewailed. I think he may be reckoned
among the greatest worthies of the age." He died 22 October,
1656. His will was dated IV October, 1656, five days before
his death, and was proved 26 November. In it he mentions
wife Sara and children, brother Deacon Nicholas Noyes and
cousin Rev. Thomas Parker. Inventory of estate amounted to
£657 lis. 4d. His widow's will was dated 11 November,
1681, she died in Newbury 13 September, 1691, and her will
was proved 29 September, 1691. Inventory of estate amounted
to £1108.

10, 1674, he was regularly ordained as the first minister of
Stonington, and continued to preach there as the pastor of the
First Congregational Church until his death, which occurred
December 30, 1719. His ministry covered a period of fifty-five
years. The day following his ordination, (September 11, 1674,)
he married ''Dorothy^ Stanton, who was born in 1651, and was
a daughter of Thomas Stanton, of Hartford. Her mother was
3 Ann 2, daughter of Thomas Lord, of Hartford.

Dorothy died in Stonington, Conn., January 19, 1743-4.

12 THE NOYES FAMILY.

Rev. James 2 was very highly respected by the people and filled
many positions of trust and honor.

He served as a soldier and volunteer against the Indians in
the Narraganset war, and received land for services rendered in
what is now Voluntown, Conn. (Bodge' s Soldiers of King
Philip's war, page 443, Narraganset Register, Vol. 1, p. 144).

"In April, 1697, upon the motion of the Honorable Lieut. -
Governour Stoughton, and information that the enemy, Indians,
intended to scatter into small companies, to do mischief upon
his Majestie's subjects, the Governour and Councill also being
moved by the worshipful Captain Samuel Mason and the
Reverent Mr. James Noise, ordered a letter sent to Captain
Samuel Mason and Mr. James Noise, desiring them to promote
of raising twentie or thirtie men, English and Indians, furnished
with arms, ammunition and provision, to range the woods
between Nashua (now in N. H.) and Deerfield, Mass., and near
Mamerrimack River, and between Hadley and Marlburrough as
they shall judge best. And the Governour and Councill being
informed that the enemy, Indians, intended to scatter and to sett
upon the small towns upon the river that were secure. Warrants
were sent to the several constables of the towns in danger to see
that due watch and ward be kept." (Conn. Col. Record, Vol, 4,
p. 196.) In 1700 he petitioned that Wequatook be allowed to
succeed his father in the government of the Indians he lives
with, (Conn. Col. Record, Vol. 4, p. 32.) Appointed by
Assembly one of a committee to settle differences regarding
division of land in Quinnebaug. In 1708 he was granted 200
acres of land ; was also one of the founders of Yale College.

The remains of Rev. James^ Notes are buried in the

Rev. James 1).

Born, 17V3, in Stonington, Conn. Died at
Scott Corners, New York, June 5, 1854, in his eighty-second
year.

Married ^ Sarah* Berry, born at Westerly, R. I., June 20,
17*76, and who died at Scott Corners, New York, October 7,
1857, in her eighty-second year. The facts connected with the
history of this family were left in manuscript by his son, Samuel
B. Noyes, and were written between the years 1877, (when com-
menced), and 1883, (when last record was made).

The marriage date of John B. Noyes and Sarah Berry is not
found, but she is positively identified from the fact that in his
manuscript he speaks of going to Westerly, R. I., to visit his
uncle, Saxton Berry. (See Berry family). He also speaks at
the same time of visiting his uncle, ^Nathan^ Noyes.

John B. Noyes and Sarah, his wife, are buried side by side
in the grave-yard at Scott Corners, near the head of Skeneatles
Lake. He removed from Rhode Island about December, 1802,
and, with their children, Lydia, Samuel B. and Asenath, settled
in the town of Brookfield, Madison County, New York, and
lived in a log house during the winter of 1805. During 1806 he
lived in a house that was built for a corn-house, narrower at the
bottom than at the top. It was very small for a family to live

in, but had to answer the purpose of a house. Clarinda was
born in this house.

His next move was " over the swamp " in what is now Sandis-
field, Oneida County. He had taken a small grist-mill to attend,
on shares, in order to enable him to provide for his growing
family, in that, then, new country. The mill was propelled
by an " overshot wheel," twelve or fourteen feet in diameter.
The water came from a small stream, near which the mill
stood, and ran through a trough, elevated on a trestle, made of
logs, laid up in a square at the bottom and gradually tapering
toward the top.

Church was held in a barn, and the "district school" was
two miles away.

He moved back to Brookfield, about three miles from the
mill, and to a point a little south of what is now called North
Brookfield, formerly called "Negro City." He lived, as tenant,
in a house owned by Mr. Keth, for whom he worked. Lovina
was born in this house. He lived there about one year, and then
moved to another house one mile distant, where he lived one
year, and then moved to Pharsalia, Chenango County, twenty
miles distant, and lived there two years. In the winter of
1811-12 he moved to Smyrna Hill, two and a half miles from
Smyrna Village. This was about the time of the commence-
ment of the War of 1812. Times were extremely hard, provisions
were both scarce and dear, and the amount of perseverance and
self-sacrifice required in order to provide for a large family can
hardly be realized.

In March, 1813, he put his household effects aboard a large
sleigh, placed his family, as comfortably as was possible, among
his furniture and left Smyrna Hill for Cayuga County, New

York. Two days from that time he arrived at the town of
Sempronius, (now Niles).

In the fall of 1813 he moved into a house about a half mile
north of Perry ville. In the summer of 1815 he obtained the
privilege of building a house on a small piece of land, owned by
Daniel Raymond, and which land was cut off from his farm by
a deep gully, containing three or four acres. As payment for
putting up the house he was to have its use for four years. He
lived in this house five years, and Leonard R. was born here.
It was rather a romantic spot, surrounded by woods and not far
from neighbors. He moved to Venice, New York, about 1820,
and later to Scott Corners, where he died as above stated.

York he engaged in literary pursuits, and
became proprietor and chief editor of the
"Knickerbocker Magazine" in 1858. He went
to Fort Monroe, Virginia, as a newspaper cor-
respondent, at the beginning of the Civil War;
engaged in various army contracts and subse-
quently in planting. He settled in New

Genoa, New York, June 25, 1837, Jane Jessup, (born, December
20, 1820), daughter of Samuel and Rachel (Rundle) Jessu].. He
resided in Genoa, New York, until the fall of 1854, when he, his
wife and his four children removed to Springville, Linn County,
Iowa, where they arrived on the 20th of October in a covered

wagon, in which they had made the journey, and which served
for their shelter for some weeks, for the reason that they could
find no home to live in. Leonard succeeded in buying an empty
log school-house in Springville, one of the four houses which the
town contained at that time, and sold it the next day, with the
privilege of living in it until his house should be completed.
With his home thus established, he began building an 18x24,
story-and-a-half, log house on his farm. This was completed so
that the family moved into it on the 11th day of January, 1855,
he having got out all the logs with little or no help, loading
them onto the wagon, three at a time, assisted only by the horses.
The house was the best of its kind and generous in appearance.
It sheltered the family well for nearly twenty-two years, when it
gave place to the present residence. Mr. Noyes lived on his
farm nearly thirty-seven years, during which time the face of
the country changed from a wild, houseless, treeless prairie to
one of the richest and best farming sections in this or any other
State, and became covered with artificial groves not equalled
anywhere in number, beauty or size. In this great work of
tree planting he was the first and most active, and his influence
contributed very largely to what has been done by others.

At the time of Mr. Noyes' death there were an elm and a
maple among the eight hundred forest trees standing on his farm,
which he planted, that were over thirty-three inches in diameter,
thus showing that, in middle life, one may plant the forest tree
and see it attain great size. When he first moved to his prairie
home, he could stand in his front door and see Marion, seven
and one-half miles to the west, or the little village of Fairview,
six miles to the east, with but one or two other houses in sight.
The village of Fairview has since ceased to be even a post-office.

28 THE NOYES FAMILY.

During the War of the Rebellion Mr. Noyes was a staunch
Union man, and when the Southern sympathizers got too noisy
in his neighborhood, he and a neighbor, went to Marion and
enrolled themselves in the Union League, which organization, as
is well known, had a very quieting effect. Mr. Noyes' courage,
energy and ability were never questioned. During his most
active years he wrote frequently for the agricultural papers, and
his articles were widely copied. His farm was noted, far and
near, as a model of good husbandry, and on this account he was
at one time, without his knowledge, strongly urged for the
position of Superintendent of the Iowa Agricultural College
farm, but he would not accept the position. Though always a
strong and active Abolitionist, Republican and Prohibitionist,
he neither sought nor hold any political office. To the good
judgment, serene life and perfect helpfulness of his wife he
owed much of the success of his long life. She survived him
nearly four and one-half years, and died on Tuesday morning,
April V, 1896, at the age of seventy-five years, three months and
seventeen days, after a residence of forty- two years in Linn
County. Directly after the death of her husband she moved to
Central City to make her home with her daughter, Mrs. William
M. Giffen. These latter years were entirely free from care,
serene and enjoyable to an unusual degree for a person of her
age. She made many visits to her former home and friends in
Cayuga County, New York, and often visited her son, La Verne
W. Noyes, in Chicago. Those who knew her best say that she
dealt gently with all, and was never heard to speak an unkind
word of anyone, while her influence over children was such that
they would not quarrel in her presence. One might call her an
apostle of peace; yet, to her country, she bravely gave up her

STANTON FAMILY.

1 THOMAS' STANTON, born in England about 1615, took
passage for Virginia in the merchantman
"Bonaventura" on January 2, 1635, and
recorded himself as being twenty years old. The ship record
shows no other passenger named Stanton. It is certain, there-
fore, that he came unattended by any relative bearing the same
name. There is no proof that Thomas was related in any way
to any person in America, or that any relatives ever followed
him to this country. There is a family tradition that, before his
death, he received a legacy from his former home across the
sea, but no record has been found to prove it. Undoubtedly
there were on record in New London, Conn., many records and
documents that would have been invaluable witnesses as to Mr.
Stanton's origin, ancestry and early life. Ilis will was probably
recorded there, and no other copy of it has, as yet, been found.
But the New London County records were destroyed in 1781 by
the traitor, Benedict Arnold, when he sacked and burnt New
Loudon town.

Evidently Mr. Stanton's stay in Virginia was very short. In
1636 he appears on record in Boston, Mass., serving as a magis-
trate. He may have traded and mingled a little with the Indians
in Virginia, acquired some knowledge of their language, and
then sailed for New England. The next known of Mr, Stanton

THE STANTON FAMILY. 31

is in connection with the Pequot War. Just before the war he
had been serving Winthrop, as Indian interpreter, while the
latter was in command at Saybrook. July 4, 1636, Mr. Fenwick,
Mr. Hugh Peters and Mr. Thomas Stanton bore instructions
from Boston, to Winthrop, at Fort Saybrook, Conn., (going over-
land) as to the Pequots. The war followed immediately.

Caulkins' History of New London, Conn., (page 296), says:
" The services of Mr. Stanton, as interpreter, during the Pequot
War, were invaluable. He was, moreover, a man of trust and
intelligence, and his knowledge of the country and of the natives
made him a useful pioneer and counselor in all land questions,
as well as difficulties witli the Indians." In De Forest's
"History of the Indians of Conn." (p. iii), is another record of
a second visit to Saybrook, near the end of the war, when his
commander was the historic soldier. Captain Lion Gardiner.
De Forest says: Sometime in April (1637) a small vessel
arrived at the fort having on board Thomas Stanton, a man well
acquainted with the Indian language, and long useful to the
Colonial Authorities as interpreter.

Mr. Stanton served through the war. Special mention is
made of his bravery in the battle of Fairfield Swamp, where he
well nigh lost his life.

Bodge, in his History of Indian Wars, page 18, says (speak-
ing of the Battle of Fairfield Swamp): "The brief skirmish at
the beginning admonished the English that they were now
facing a brave and desperate foe, no longer entirely at their
mercy. There was a rumor also, brought back by the two
captive girls to Wethersfield, that the Pequots had some sixteen
muskets, which they might craftily discharge upon their assail-
ants unexpectedly. So they decided to hold a parley with the

32 THE STANTON FAMILY.

foe. Thomas Stanton was sent to speak with them, readily
understanding their language, and offering to go upon this
service. He soon returned with about two hundred old men,
women and children, including the local tribe. Then the
warriors sent the challenge from the Swamp that they would
fight it out with the English to the end, and Stanton, going once
more to them, to urge terras of their surrender, was met with a
fierce volley of arrows, so as to scarcely escape with his life.
Then the guards were set and close watch kept all night, with
frequent shooting on both sides. In the deepest darkness, about
an hour before the dawn, the savages massed their numbers,
and, after some desperate fighting, broke through Captain
Patrick's lines and escaped." He must have returned very soon
after peace was secured, for Drake in his " History of Boston"
names him as one of the Magistrates in the trial of John Wheel-
wright, which took place October 3, 1637.

The next seventeen months of Mr. Stanton's life were event-
ful ones, for during them occurred his marriage and settlement
in Hartford, Conn. In February, 1639, there were one hundred
and twenty seven property holders in Hartford, and among them
were Dr. Thomas Lord and his son-in-law, Thomas Stanton.

The time of Mr. Stanton's arrival and marriage is not known.
His wife was ^Ann^, daughter of Dr. Thomas and Dorothy
Lord.

In 1649 the General Court granted him liberty to erect a
trading house at Pawcatuck, with six acres of planting ground,
and liberty to ti-ade for three years. He soon went to Pawca-
tuck, but his family remained in Hartford. He and his family
afterward went to Pequot. He filled many important posts in
connection with the Indians and colony.

In 1665 he was Commissioner of Stonington, to hold semi-
annual Court. Representative to General Court, 1666, 1667.
He died December 2, 1677, and his will was proved June, 1678.
His widow died in 1688.

LORD FAMILY.

iTHOMASi LORD, wife and family, were registered 29th
April, 1635, for transportation from the port
of London to New England, in the ship
"Elizabeth and Ann," of which Captain Robert Cooper was
Master. Thomas was fifty years old, (born 1585); his wife,
Dorothy, forty-six, (born 1589); and their children, Thomas,
sixteen; Ann, fourteen; William, twelve; John, ten; Robert,
nine; Aymie, six; Dorothy, four. (Hotten's Original Lists.)

Thomas Lord first settled at Newtown, afterward called
Cambridge, Massachusetts, where his eldest son, Richard, born
in 1611, had already established himself in 1632. Savage (in his
Genealogical Dictionary) says that his father "perhaps had sent
him to look out the most desirable place for his friends, Gov-
ernor Haynes and Reverend Thomas Hooker," who came over
in 1633 with "two hundred other passengers of importance to
the colony." Here he remained " a year or more." But in
1636-37 this family were of that large company which was led,
by Rev. Thomas Hooker, from Massachusetts, to form a new set-
tlement on the Connecticut River. Thomas Lord thus became
an original proprietor, and one of the first settlers of Hartford.
He lived on the " north side," fronting Mill River, a near neigh-
bor of Gov. Haynes, Rev. Mr. Hooker, Mr. Goodwin, Gov.
Wyllys, Mr. Matthew AUyn, and others of the prominent inhab-

itants. His sons, Richard and Thomas, had lots next to his.
That part of Hartford called Lord's Hill took its name from this
family. Mr. Henry Dutch Lord, of Boston, a recognized autho-
ity, says : Thomas Lord, the first, of Hartford, was a merchant
and mill owner, and that in the descriptions of the Burnham
estate, Burnham mentions his half-interest in the mill with
Thomas Lord. In these transactions Thomas Lord bears the
prefix of "Mr." The date of his death is not known. Porter
(in " Historical Notices of Hartford,") says: "he died early."
The place of his burial is not known, but there is quite a number
of Lord tombstones of descendants of his, in the early genera-
tions, in the rear of the First Church, of Hartford. The names
of Thomas Lord and his son Richard are inscribed on the granite
monument in the old grave-yard of Hartford as prominent among
the first settlers. His widow, Dorothy, died in 1675 at the age
of eighty-six years, and her will, dated February 8, 1669, is now
on file among the Probate Records, in the office of the Secretary
of State at Hartford.

As no will of ^Thomas' Lord is on record it maybe inferred
that he died intestate, so that his widow had only her legal por-
tion, dividing with her seven children. Her will speaks of
" that litle estate the Lord liath lent me." Yet, besides dispos-
ing of a " dwelling house and Barn " and a " Home lott," it
devises a " lower lott in the North meadow," several acres
constituting an " upper lott in the long meadow," together with
" wood land that is allready layd out or to be layd unto me
within the Bounds of Hartford," beside "Moveable estate and
Cattell," in five portions, and various household-stuff distinctive
of a gentlewoman to a considerable amount, including a "silver
drinking bowl." The seal which Dorothy Lord afiixed to it,

It is said that the first "Medical License"
granted in the New England colonies was
issued to Doctor Lord, and read as follows:

"Courte in Hartford, 30 June, 1652,

SANFORD FAMILY.

iJOHN' SANFORD, son of Samuel and Elleanor Sanford, of
Alford, Lincolnshire, England, sailed for New
England in the ship "Lyon," Capt. Pierce,
about the middle of August, 1631. On the same ship were John
Eliot, the missionary to the Indians, John Winthrop, Jr., (after-
ward the Governor of the colony), and others.

They arrived out of Boston Harbor on November ?>, and,
after two days, landed in the new world. Before the close of
the year he was recorded as a member of the church.

August 6, 1633, he was chosen to oversee the building of
cai-t bridges over Stony and Muddy Rivers.

On May 14, 1634, he was appointed to examine the condition
of the ordnance. On September 3, 1634, he was chosen can-
noneer for the Port of Boston, and for two years' service already
rendered at said port and for one year to come he was allowed
£20. On September 8, 1636, he was allowed £10 for service the
year past, and on October 28, 1636, he was again appointed
cannoneer, and also surveyor of the arms and ammunition.
Salary £30 for himself and man.

On November 2, 1637, he was discharged and allowed £13
6s 8d for the year past. On November 20, 1637, he and others
were ordered to deliver up all guns, pistols, swords, powder,
shot, etc., because " The opinions and revelations of Mr. Wheel-

wright and Mrs. Hutchinson have seduced, and led into dangerous
errors, many of the people here in New England.

Being allowed to leave the colony they went to Portsmouth,
Rhode Island, where on March 7, 1638, he and eighteen others
signed the following compact:

"We, whose names are underwritten, do hereby solemnly, in
the presence of Jehovah, incorporate ourselves into a Bodie
Politick, and, as he shall help, will submit our persons, lives and
estates unto our Lord Jesus Christ, the King of Kings and Lord
of Lords, and to all those perfect and most absolute laws of his,
given us in his holy word of truth, to be guided and judged
thereby."

At a general meeting of the inhabitants, held May 13, 1638,
it was ordered that the meeting-house should be set on the neck
of land that goes over to the main island, where he and John
Coggeshall shall lay it out. On May 20, 1638, he had six acres
allotted him north of the great cove. On June 27, 1638, he and
four others were appointed to repair highways. Was made
Constable, 1640; Freeman, March 16, 1641; Lieutenant of Militia,
1644 (R. L Colony Records, Vol. 1, p. 127); Assistant Governor,
1647, 1648, 1649 (R. I. Colony Record, Vol. 1, pp. 148,216,336);
President of Portsmouth and Newport, 1653 (R. I. Colony
Record, Vol. 1, p. 264).

His will was dated June 22, 1653, and proved in the same
vear. His Avife Bridget was executrix, and the overseers

THOMPSON FAMILY.

1 WILLIAM! THOMPSON, Rev. There are few names more
common among the early settlers of New
England (says Thompson's History of Long
Island, Vol. 2, pp. 425, 426) than that of Thompson. Reverend
William Thompson was born in the year 1597; graduated at
Brasenose College, Oxford, January 28, 1619; and came to New
England in 1634.

He first settled at what is now York Maine. In 1636 he
removed to Dorchester, and on September 24, 1639, was ordained
first pastor of Braintree, than called Mount W^allaston, during
October, 1642, he was sent on a mission to Virginia, in company
with Rev. Thomas Jones, of New Haven, Conn., and the Rev.
John Knowles, of Watertown, Mass.

It appears that soon after they arrived, the Grand Assembly
of Virginia passed an act prohibiting the preaching of the
doctrine of the Pilgrims, and ordering all those who would not
conform to the Church of England, to leave the country by a
certain day.

In consequence of this act they could only address their
people in private houses. The latter clause of the order was
not carried into effect, on account of the trouble produced by
the Indian massacre of April, 1643. Soon after this time these

ministers, with many other persons, returned to New England.
During Rev. Mr. Thompson's absence, his wife died, in January,
1643, leaving a family of young children, who, says Governor
Winthrop: — "were scattered, but well disposed of, among his
godly friends."

John, probably the eldest son, was placed in the Brewster
family. Jonathan, supposed to be the second son, resided with
his uncle James, of Woburn. James, born in Braintree, May 1,
1640, settled in Billerica, Mass., where he died in 1732; and
Benjamin, the youngest child, born, July 14, 1642, graduated at
Harvard College, in 1662.

The Rev. William Thompson is spoken of by Governor
Winthrop as a very gracious and sincere man. He died, at
Braintree, Mass., December 10, 1666.

fifty-five proprietors of Setawket (Brookhaven). He became, by
repeated allottments of land, and by purchase, the owner of
a large amount of real estate, which, on his death, was divided
among his children.

He resided near the Public Green, and was an upright and
intelligent man, and held in high estimation by his fellow
townsmen, who frequently elected him to responsible town offices.
He died, October 14, 1688, leaving three sons. William, Anthony,
Samuel, and several daughters, one of whom, Elizabeth, married
Job Smith, son of Richard Smith, a patentee of Smithtown. His
wife Hannah, died at Setawket, Long Island, October 4, 168*7.

52 THE THOMPSON FAMILY.
*Elizabeth3, born ; m. Job Smith, son of Richard.

Note — Thompson's History of Long Island, Vol. 2, p. 426,
names the wife of i John 2 as Hannah, daughter of Jonathan
Brewster, and grand-daughter of Elder William Brewster, of the
Mayflower. The New York Genealogical and Biographical Record,
Vol. 22, p. 35, and the Genealogy of the Strong Family, (by B. W.
D wight), pp. 606-7, repeats the statement. This has been found to
be an error.

Miss Caulkins, in her history of New London, claims that Hannah
Brewster, was the wife of Samuel Starr, of New London, and the
statement is also made in the Genealogy of the Starr Family.

In "The Mayflower Descendant," Vol. i, p. 226, (published by
Mass. Society), is the following: on page 39, ist volume of New
London Town Records, is this entry: " Samuel Starr married
Hannah ye daughter of Jon'an Brewster, 23rd of December, 1664."
This entry was made by Obadiah Bruen, who was town "recorder"
at the time. Some years later Hannah Brewster's brother-in-law,
Daniel Wetherell, was elected recorder, which office he held for
many years. If this entry in the town records had been wrong, he
would have noticed it. We are not dependent on this record alone
for proof that Jonathan Brewster's daughter Hannah did not
marry John Thompson.

On page 7, volume 5, New I-ondon deeds, is recorded a conveyance
from John Picket and Benjamin Brewster, to their sisters Grace
Wetherell and Hannah Brewster, dated February 14, 1661-2. In
this deed she is called Brewster by her brother and brother-in-law,
six years after John Thompson is said to have married her. As she
was living in New London in February, 1687-8, as Starr's widow, and
was in full communion with the first church there at the time of Mr.
Saltonstall's ordination, November 25, i6gi, it is certain that she was
not even a second wife of John Thompson, who died October 14,
1688, and whose wife Hannah, died at Brookhaven, October 4, 1687.

BERRY FAMILY.

^ELISHAi BERRY, born probably about 1060, was living in
East Greenwich, R. I., in 1690. The R. I.
Vital Record, Vol. 5, p. 76, gives him three
wives — first, Elizabeth; second, Sarah; third, Ellen. Where he
came from is not known, but it is jjrobable that he was one of
the children of Mr. Richard Berry, who was in Barnstable,
Mass., about 1640; in Yarmouth, 1643; removed to Boston, where
he lived with Mr, Thomas Hawkins in 1647, but went back to
Yarmouth, married a wife by the name of Alice, and had eleven
children born in Yarmouth. Richard died in Yarmouth in 1681.

Freeman's History of Cape Cod, Vol. 2, p. 198, says: The
record is worn and torn, and but partially reveals their names or
dates. All that can be gathered is: John, born, March 29,
1652; Elizabeth, March 5, 1650. It is known, however, that he
had also sons, Richard, Samuel, Nathaniel, Joseph and also a
daughter, Elizabeth, who married Josiah Jones, November 28,
1677. Savage's Genealogical Dictionary, Vol. 1, p. 170, says:

"John, born, March 29, 1652; one, July 11, 1654; Elizabeth,
born, March 5, 1656; one, May 12, 1659; one, August 23, 1662;
one, October 16, 1663; one, October 5, 1668; one, June, 1670;
one, October, 1673; one, December 16, 1677. Of the eight names
not mentioned, Joseph, who died September 7, 1681; Nathaniel,

who died February 1, 1694, were two, but the dates of their
birth are not ascertained by the record."

Elisha Berry was a Quaker, and probably removed from
Massachusetts to Rhode Island, and was one of the unmentioned
children of Richard Berry.

Childre7i — Noyes Family.

Note. — Dinah Spencer, wife of Elisha Berry, is undoubtedly a
descendant of John Spencer, of Newport, and East Greenwich, but
a careful examination of the Rhode Island Vital Records, and also
Austin's Rhode Island Genealogical Dictionary, fails to reveal it.
Through the worn condition of the original records, several Spencer
births are given, where it has been found impossible to trace the
name. One of these is probably that of the Dinah is question.

SAUNDERS FAMILY.

iTOBIASi SAUNDERS was in Taunton, Mass., in 1643, and

before 1655 had removed to Newport, R. I.,

where he was made freeman, in that year. He

had a quarter of a share in the division of Misquamicut

(Westerly) land, September 9, 1661.

On May 20, 1666, at Westerly, he now living at Pawcutuck;
sold to Benedict Arnold for £48 his right in Conanicut; his name
was on the list of inhabitants, May 18, 1669; was Deputy to
General Court, 1669,'7l,'72, '80, '81, '83, '90; Conservator of the
Peace 1669, "78, '95. Tobias Saunders and John Crandall, on
behalf of the town of Westerly, answered a letter from the
Governor and Assembly of Connecticut, wherein complaint was
made of encroachment by Westerly men upon Stonington lands.
This fact they denied, closing as follows: "As for your advice
to agree with these, our neighbors of Stonington, and the other
gentlemen, we hope that your colony and ours will in the first
place lovingly agree, and than we question not but there will be
an agreement between us and our neighbors of Stonington and
the rest of the gentlemen."

Tobias married ''Mary^, daughter of Joseph Clarke, and
died in 1695. Will proved September 2, 1695. His wife, Mary,
was executrix; overseer, John Maxon, Sr., and cousin {t. <»., wife's

JESSUP FAMILY.

1 EDWARD' JESSUP. Came to New England prior to 1(349,
at which time he was a citizen of Stamford,
Connecticut, and owned land in that town, then
included in the New Haven Colony. He may have been in
Fairfield, twenty-five miles nearer New Haven, having landed
estate then on " Sascoe Neck," which he sold in 1653 to Thomas
Barlowe, of Fairfield. The town of Fairfield (Un-quo-wa) was
settled in 1639 by Lieutenant Governor Roger Ludlow, who
went from Windsor with eight or ten families, and they were
joined by others from Watertown and Concord, Massachusetts.
Stamford (Rippowan) was settled in 1641 by a colony from
Wethersfield. One of these settlers was John Jessup, who was
a brother of Edward Jessup.

Edward did not stay long in Stamford, but in 1652, when
permission was obtained of Governor Peter Stuyvesant of the
Dutch Colony of New Amsterdam, to establish an English settle-
ment at the west end of Long Island, joined the party, and
was one of the pioneers of Middleborough (Newtown). Land
was purchased of the Indian proprietors in 1656, at one shilling
an acre. The original price paid by each of the fifty-five, varied
from two shillings to four pounds. Edward Jessup, with one
other, paid the larger amount.

The settlers of Middleborough were allowed the privilege of

THE JESSUP FAMILY. 73

nominating to the Dutch Governor and Council, six citizens for
magistrates, three of whom were to be appointed. Jessup's
name was on the first list given in 1652, but he was not appointed
that year. He served in 1659, '60, '61, '62, and many entries
are recorded in the records of the town court in his handwriting.

Enmity and jealousy began between the Dutch and English
settlers, and lasted for several years, and occasioned much
trouble. A long and detailed account of this trouble is given
in the Genealogy of the Jessup Family, by Mr. H. G. Jesup,
but it is not thought wise to give them all in this volume (which
is only intended to give certain lines of direct ancestry).

Soon after the restoration of Charles II. to the English
throne they were given a charter, and the English settlement
was claimed as a part of the Colony of Connecticut ; and, after
much vexation and trouble, it so became. Edward Jessup had
obtained large tracts of land, and had received grants for the
same from the King.

In 1663 and 1664 he was magistrate of Westchester, and was
a man of much influence and prominence through life.

He died in the Autumn of 1666, between August 6, when his
will was dated, and November 14, when it was proved. He was
buried, doubtless, in the ancient cemetery at Hunt's Point, but
no gravestone marks his resting place, nor that of his married
daughter, Elizabeth Hunt. His will is now on record in the
Surrogate's office in New York City (Vol. 1, pp. 31, 33), and
is one of the earliest recorded in the English language. It was
"proven out of session," by the Governor's special order, at
Flushing, Long Island, November 14, 1666.

His wife's name was Elizabeth . He put all of his

estate into her hand, counselling her to bring up his two minor

children in the fear of God, and giving her as "overseers" four
of his most trustworthy friends. His widow, Elizabeth, married,
second, in 1669, Robert Beacham, of "Barkside," in Fairfield
County, Connecticut (now Green's Farms, in town of Westport).
She removed, with her two youngest children, and disposed of
her property in West Farms and Newtown.

He was three years of age when his father died. He grew
up, became a freeman in Fairfield, Connecticut, acquired property,
built him a house, and married in 1692, when twenty-nine vears
of age, Elizabeth Hyde, who was born August 23, 1669, and
daughter of John Hyde (born, 1642), and Elizabeth, daughter of
Richard Harvey, of Stratford. About 1V20 Edward^ removed
from Green's Farms to Stamford, and lived there the remainder
of his life. April 28, 1720, he purchased 125 acres in Stamford,
and January 8, 1*724, bought a right in what were called the
"sequestered lands," paying £69 3s 9d for the same.

He died in 1732, and, by his tombstone, was in the 70th
year of his age.

His will is recorded in Stamford, August 17, 1721, proved in
Norwalk, January 5, 1732-3, and probated February 5, 1732-3.
His son Joseph was named as sole executor. The inventory was

died in Stamford, October 2, 1749, in her 79th year. Her will
was dated September 15, 1747. The personal inventory was

early as 1739. He was a farmer, and also a carpenter.

His wife Sarah was said to have been much younger

than he. Letters of administration were granted her August 2,
1759, and estate distributed March 14, 1759-60. The inventory
was £403 12s 9d. She married, second, Timothy Kuapp, of
Greenwich, and died, aged ninety-three years. All her children
were by her first marriage.

THE JESSUP FAMILY. 77

Note. — At the time of their father's death, Nathaniel, Samuel,
Silvanus and Phebe were minors. At the Stamford Probate Office
there is now on file the bond of Jonathan Dibble (their uncle) as
guardian of the last three.

At a later date, the mother gives bond as guardian of her two
children; Jonathan as guardian of Nathaniel; Amos as guardian
of Samuel. There has been found trouble in tracing the complete
record of the family, and, later, the families of the children.

They all seem to have belonged to St. John's Episcopal Church
at Stamford, which was nine miles from where they lived at Green-
wich. Reverend Ebenezer Dibble was Rector, and was indirectly
related to the family.

The majority of the births and baptisms were only recorded on
the Church Record, which is defective, especially so, during the
time of the Revolutionary War, when all Episcopal Churches were
"under the ban," and not popular, for they were obliged to pray
(by their ritual) for "Our good King George the Third." The
membership became divided, the large majority being loyal to the
Colony, while some were also loyal to the King.

It is no wonder that during these years of the War, and those
immediately preceding and following, when the town was so busy
with public and military affairs, and, as in this case, the Church
" under a cloud," the record should be defective.

Some facts, therefore, relating to these families have had to be
drawn from " family history," but enough is known to make the
connection between them both authentic and reliable.

78 THE JESSUP FAMILY.

2AMOS*,(Jonathan3,Edward2, Edward^).

Born, May 1, 1736, in Greenwich, Connecticut.
Married, ^ Elizabeth s, daughter of Thomas
Studwell, of Greenwich.

Records refer to him first in 1761, when, on February 14, he
bought land in Greenwich of Joseph Husted for £47, "current
money of tlie Province of New York."

His name appears in "town list" from 1769 to 1774, showing
that he was a town resident. On December 12, 1771, he pur-
chased a homestead in the town, for which he paid £108 to
Charles Mead, of the Manor of Courtland, in Westchester
County, New York. In 1770 and 177 1, he bought land of Moses
Smith. In October, 1784, he gave deed to Horton Reynolds.

He suffered loss during the Revolutionary War, as there is
mention in the town books of the sale of " the right of Amos
Jessup, deceased, of £20 6s, lawful money, for losses sustained
in time of war, and land granted for said losses, by General
Assembly of State." The occasion of his loss was, probably,
connected with his service in the war (see record of same at end
of volume). He died about the middle of March, 1785, and
administration was granted March 26, 1785, to Oliver Ferris
"on the estate of Amos Jessup, late of Greenwich, deceased."

On the 13th of March, 1790, Elizabeth Jessup, the widow, and
Anthony Studwell, her brother, both of Greenwich, and heirs of
their father, Thomas Studwell, of the same town, convey to
Ebenezer Hubby all claim they have in their mother's dower in
the father's estate, Mai'ch 30, 1790, for £75. Hubby conveys to
Thomas Jessup, the son, certain lands with buildings, and in
October, 1793, for £20, two acres additional.

He lived and died in Greenwich, and raised a family of

THE JESSUP FAMILY. 79

children, but an examination of the town records in 1900 show
that their births are not recorded.

He, like the other members of his father's family, was a
member of St. John's Episcopal Church of Stamford, and three
of his children are recorded as being baptized there by Rev.
Ebenezer Dibble, (Thomas, Amos, and Dimma). There were
also two sons born later, one of whom was Samuel, born
November 18, 1785, (posthumous), the birth date being recorded
in the family bible.

iRosALiNE^ (Jessup) HoLDEN, (^Samuel^), now living, says:
"Father (5 Sajviuel^) had but one sister, Diodema; she married
Anthony Studwell. My father had three brothers, Thomas,
David, and Amos. David and Amos went into the army, (war
of 1812), David died with yellow fever, and Amos was killed in
the army."

Family history also shows that ^Samuel's^ mother was a
Studwell.

Samuel removed from Greenwich, Connecticut, into West-
chester County, New York, and thence to Genoa, New York.
He was a thrifty, progressive farmer, and built up two farms
that were models in their way, and which showed the result of
good husbandry. He had six children, all of whom were born
in Greenwich, Connecticut.

STUDWELL FAMILY.

1 THOMAS 1 STUDWELL, (Steedwell, Stedwell).

Was an early settler in Greenwich, Conn.
This town commenced to be settled shortly
after it had been purchased from the Indians by Robert Feaks
and Daniel Patrick.

These purchasers violated their obligation to the Colony and
placed themselves under the Dutch Governor of New York, then
New Amsterdam. As a result, several of the settlers purchased
tracts of land in other towns, and either temporarily or per-
manently removed to their new purchases. Many names appear
upon the records of several towns who really resided in Green-
wich, but who were taxed in other places, and the records of
whose families have been scattered, and many of them lost.

Richard Crab had purchased large tracts of land from the
Indians, and sold this land again, in smaller parcels. He had
sold portions of his estate to Thomas Studwell, Peter Disbrow,
John Coe, and others, October 6, 1656, they "freely yealded
themselves" to the government of New Haven Colony, and came
again under its rule (Record of New Haven Colony, Vol. 2, p.
16). With Peter Disbrow and John Coe, Thomas Studwell
bought the Island of Manussing on June 29, 1660, and resided
there for some time. Thomas "Stedwell" signed the declara-
tion of the inhabitants of Hastings, July 26, 1662, and also the

THE STUDWELL FAMILY. 83

letter to the Hartford Government, January 26, 1663. In 1667,
he sold his house and home lot which he was possessed of in
Rye, Westchester County, New York, near the Mill Brook, and
went, with his son Joseph, to Stamford, Connecticut (Hist.
Stamford, Conn., Huntington, p, 193), but appears to have settled
himself at length in the town of Greenwich, where, in 1694-5,
his real estate was rated at thirty pounds. (History of Green-
wich, Mead, p. 79.)

Children.

* Joseph 2, born, .

2John2, born, . Signed as a witness (son of Thomas)

in 1713.

Probably other children, but these two are
all there seems to be any mention of.

1 JOSEPHS (Thomas^).

The date of his birth and the name of his
wife his birth have not been learned. Joseph
was with his father in Stamford in 1667, and in Greenwich in
1694-5, when his real estate was rated at eighteen pounds.
He soon after acquired lands in Rye on " Barton's Neck," in
"Will's "purchase, and on " Byram's Ridge," in 1705, I7l7, 1722.

of Greenwich, by Mr. C. P. Child, in Town Clerk's Office (1900).
That he had the other two children is shown by the following, taken
from Jessup Genealogy : " Amos Jessup, born, 1765, in Greenwich :
m. Elizabeth, daughter ot Thomas Studwell, of Greenwich." * * *
"On March 13, 1790, Elizabeth Jessup, widow, and Anthony Stud-
well, her brother, both of Greenwich, and heirs of the late Thomas
Studwell, convey to Ebenezer Hubby all claim they had in their
mother's right of dower in their father's estate," etc.

RUNDLE FAMILY.

1 WILLIAM 1 RUNDLE came from England, but from what
locality, or when, is not known.

The actual settlement of Greenwich, Con-
necticut was made about 1640, and east of the Myanos river, but
about 1672, a number of persons, some of them living in town,
and some from other colonies than Connecticut, piirchased
Miosehasseky, from the few Indians yet living about the west
part of the town. These purchasers were twenty-seven in num-
ber, and styled the "twenty-seven proprietors of 16*72." Among
these appears the name of William Rundle. They kept separate
records of their own, and West Greenwich, (called by them
"Horse Neck,") was entirely under their control.

In 1688 the number of inhabitants was about three hundred,
and the number of legal voters about fifty, and William Rundle
was the only one recorded by the name of Rundle. It is probable
that he had brothers, and that some of them followed him, and
settled in Greenwich, for Rev. Henry Griswold Jesup says, in
his Jessup genealogy, page 285, "Jeremiah Randall, with his
brothers, came from England, and settled first at Greenwich,
(name often there spelled Rundle)." In the "town list" in
1694-5, are found several by the name of Rundle.

In 1666 a school was first talked of, but not till 1695 was a
schoolmaster spoken of, and a committee of four was appointed
to hire one. On that committee was William Rundle. He

seems to have been called to occupy, from time to time
numerous public positions in the town. He had two sons,
and probably other children. The name of his wife is not
spoken of in the records.

Richard Hardy had a daughter Mary, born, April 30, 1659. In
1683 he gave son Samuel a house and lot, and shortly after gave
legacies to his daughters Elizabeth Parsons, Susanna Sherman,
Sarah Close, Ruth Mead, and Mary Hardy.

FERRIS FAMILY.

1 JEFFREY! FERRIS was made freeman in Boston, Mass., in
1635, freeman in Watertown, Mass., in 1635.
He removed from Watertown, and was one of
the first settlers of Wethersfield, Conn. He sold his lot of
forty-five acres in Wethersfield to John Deming. He went to
Stamford, Conn., with the first company from Wetliersfield,
and is on the list of those who paid for the survey of Stamford,
and on the first assignment of land was given ten acres. He
had lived in Greenwich in 1656, for he was one of the eleven
Greenwich men who petitioned to be accepted under the New
Haven jurisdiction. His will is found in the probate records of
Fairfield, Conn., dated January 6, 1664. He wills to the four
boys he brought up, ten pounds sterlin-f apiece, if they lived with
any of his children until they are eighteen, the money then to be
put out for them until they are twenty-one. His will names
wife Judy, son James, son Jonathan Lockwood, and daughter
Mary Lockwood, son Peter, and three children, Joseph, and his
two children.

He had three wives. The name of the first in not known,
but she died, July 31, 1658. He married, second, Susanna, widow
of Robert Lockwood, and thus became step-father to his son-in-
law, Lieut. Jonathan Lockwood. Susanna died, December 23,

1660. He married, third, Judy Bowers, wlio survived him. His
will was dated January 6, 1664, he died in 1666.

The name Ferris is from Leicestershire, House of Feriers,
from Henry's son Gualchelme de Feriers, Master of the horse of
the Duke of Normandy, to whom William the Conqueror gave
large tracts of land in the three shires of Stafford, Derby and
Leicester.

LOCKWOOD FAMILY.

1 ROBERT' LOCKWOOD came from Euorland, and settled at

Watertown, Mass., where six of his ten

children were born, and where their births are

recorded. Was made freeman, March 9, 1636-7 (Mass. Rec,

V. 1, p. 372).

He was executor of the estate of Edmund Lockwood, supposed
to have been his brother. About 1648 he removed to Fairfield,
Conn., where he died in 1658 (Bolton's History of Westchseter
Co., N. Y., p. 108). Was made freeman of Conn., May 20, 1652
(Trumbull's Col. Rec, Vol. 1, p. 231).

"This Court, Govn'r John Winthrop (Conn.), presiding doth
confirm Mr. Gold, to be Leiften't, Nehe Olmstead and Robert
Lockwood, to be Sergeants, at Fairfield, (Conn. Col. Rec, V. 1,
p. 299). The date of appointment as Sergeant of Fairfield, was
May, 1657.

He was recorded as settler of Fairfield, as early as 1641
(N. E. H. & G. Reg., V. 7, p. 157).

He left no will, but an inventory of his estate was made by
Anthony Wilson and John Banks. They included quite a large
number of items, and amounted to £464 13s. His wife's name
was Susanna.

his sons were taxed £153 15s, in 1694-5. He made his will,
November 22, 1692, and was called Senior. The plain blue-slate
head-stone, which marks his grave, is well preserved, and bears
the following inscription:

He married Lady Ann
Millington, from England,
daughter of Lord Milling-
ton. This lady came to this
country in persuit of her
lover, a British Army Officer.
Failing to find him, she
taught school, and subse-

Lockwood, of Greenwich.
In 1660 her parents sent
her a large oak chest ingen-
iously carved on the outside,
and strongly built. Tradition says: ^^ It contamed /la/f a dus/ie/
of Guineas, and many fine silk dresses, etc." This identical chest
was in 1888, at Mr. Samuel Ferris' home, in Greenwich, Conn.
Lady Millington's grand-daughter, Ann Lockwood, married,
Samuel Ferris, and his descendants have the chest.

Ann Millington, died before 1690; for he married, second, at
