Bay ; and i, a son who lived at Penn Yan, N. Y. There are
reasons for the belief that the Morris at the head of this branch
came from Nova Scotia or one of the other British provinces.
Some members of this branch retain the final e in their sur-
name ; others have dropped it.
3. There is a numerous branch of the general family in
central New York, and especially in Onondaga County, who
spell their surname Earll. Dr. David Earll, of Tioga Centre, i
to whom I applied, in 1859, ^^"^ information in regard to the
genealogy of this branch, replied by referring me to the late
Judge Nehemiah Earll, of Syracuse, stating that he possessed
"more information on the subject than any other person in the
State." I have now before me three letters from Judge Nehe- i
miah, one of them written in 1859, ^"^^ ^^ i860, and one in
1861. In 1859 ^^ says: "My grandfather, Daniel Earll, I
knew from earliest remembrance to the time of his death. Pie
died in April, 181 7, aged 87 years. He had two brothers,
Nehemiah and David : both died in this county. They had
two sisters. One of them married Daniel Wallace, and the
other John Ryan. My great-uncle, Nehemiah, had two
XII INTRODUCTION.
daughters, but no son. David had several sons and daughters,
viz. : Nathaniel, David, Peter and William. My grandfather
(Daniel) lived, at an early day, in Great Barrington, Mass.,
where my father and his brothers were born, except the
youngest, I think. I always understood that my g-real-grand-
father was a captain in the old French war, previous to 1750.
My grandfather (Daniel) had eight sons, to wit : Jonas,
Daniel, Nathaniel, Robert (my father), Benjamin, Watson,
Nehemiah and Abijah ; and two daughters, Lucy, the wife of
Isaac Danks, and Patience, the wife of Timothy Copp. * * *
I saw my grandfather a short time before his death. He told
me that he then had living over one hundred and fifty chil-
dren, grandchildren and great-grandchildren."
In this letter the Judge says : "I am more than 72 years old."
In his letter of July 29, 1861, he says : " From information
I have obtained since I last wrote you, I find that, some time
previous to the year 1700, William Earll came from Wales to
Rhode Island, and afterwards had two sons, Nathaniel and
William ; that those two sons married two sisters whose
maiden names were Adams. They also had another sister,
who married a Scotchman by the name of Wheeler. I am
unable to learn what became of William. Nathaniel, some
time after his marriage, settled in Great Barrington, Mass.,
and had three sons, viz. : Daniel (my grandfather), Nehemiah
and David. About the year 1770 my grandfather emigrated
with his family to Nova Scotia. His oldest son, Jonas, was
probably married there. He married Experience Sprague.
They afterwards settled at White Creek, Washington County,
New York, and Daniel, Jr., returned to White Creek and
married about 1776. About that time, or perhaps a year
later, my grandfather and his sons Nathaniel and Robert
formed a company and returned (my grandfather leaving the
rest of his family in Nova Scotia) to White Creek. In the
mean time my great-grandfather (Nathaniel) with his sons
Nehemiah and David, had moved from Great Barrington to
White Creek.

INTRODUCTION. XIlI
*'I have a cousin now living near me. She was daughter
of my uncle Jonas, and is now more than eighty-five years of
age. She informs me she well recollects her great-grand-
father, Nathaniel Earll, and that his son David was about her
own age ; that her great-grandfather was familiarly called
'Captain Nat' by their friends; that he was a large, fleshy
man ; and that he died about 1790."
The Judge also states that Thomas Wheeler, grandson of
the Wheeler who married an Adams, sister to the wife of
Daniel's father, Nathaniel, made a visit of several months to
his grandmother, about 1793 » in Leicester, Mass., that she
often spoke of her nephew, Daniel Earll, and said that his
family, on their return from Nova Scotia, remained some time
with her in Leicester."
Warner Earll, a lawyer of San Luis Obispo, California,
and a grandson of Judge Nehemiah's brother Robert, in a
letter dated August 18, 1887, writes that he remembers Lucy
Danks, daughter of Daniel, and "when a mere child, heard
her relate many things occurring when she lived in Nova
Scotia." I
It appears to be pretty clearly shown from the above that
the name of the father of Daniel Earll, of Great Barrington,
was Nathaniel. Daniel died in 1817? aged, one authority
says, 87 years, another 88 years. Consequently, he was born
in either 1729 or 1730. '
I will now point out what, at least, is a singular coincidence.
William Earle [9-3, p. 28 of this book], with his sons, dis-
appeared, so far as records are concerned, from Little Comp-
ton, R. L, in the early part of the i8th century. His fifth
son was named Nathaniel [61-5]. He was born January 28,
1705, and therefore, at the birth of Daniel Earll, was 24 or 25
years old, a very suitable age to be the father of Daniel. Was
he his father? There are further coincidences which render
an affirmative answer not improbable. The father of the
Nathaniel of Judge Earll's account was named William, and
the father of the Nathaniel of Little Compton was named
XIV INTRODUCTION.
William. The Judge's William came from Wales to Rhode
Island; Ralph, who had a son William, came, as is believed,
from a point within fifty miles of Wales to Rhode Island.
Any genealogist of much experience would probably say that
the discrepancies between the two histories are not greater
than often occur in traditional accounts. That Daniel Earll,
on his return from Nova Scotia, stopped some time in Leices-
ter, Mass., may be further mentioned as a significant coinci-
dence, for, at that time several families of Earles, the descend-
ants of Ralph, resided in that town.
But, whatever were its American origin, the Onondaga
branch is now numerous, and presents to the genealogist an
interesting field for research which ought to be thoroughly
explored. It has been an influential family in New York,
and many of its members have occupied prominent positions.
Judge Nehemiah was a member of Congress. Among its
living members are Dr. George W. Earll, of Skaneateles, and
Dr. Isaac Balfour Earll, of Syracuse, sons of Hiram, son of
Daniel; Thomas Earll, of Brooklyn ; George David Earll, of
New York city ; Asa Earl, of Lafayette, Indiana, a descend-
ant of Daniel's son Nehemiah ; and William Earll, a dealer
in agricultural implements in Chico, California, who is a son
of Peter, son of David the brother of Daniel. Georp-e D.
Earll, son of Elijah B., son of David, son of David, the brother
of Daniel, was a lawyer in Watertown, N. Y., twenty-five
years ago ; and David Sprague Earll, son of Jonas, son of
Daniel, and brother of Jonas, Jr., who had been a member of
Congress, was living, a few years ago, in Syracuse.
Nehemiah Earll, uncle of Judge Nehemiah, removed to the
Western States and had a family of fifteen children. One of
his grandsons, Guy Chaffee Earl, of Oakland, California, in
writing of him, says: "He spelled his name with two I's,
Earll, but, tiring of this, dropped one 1." All of his descend-
ants probably followed his example.
4. At some time between the years 1720 and 1740 Thomas
Earl came from England and settled in Burlington, New
INTRODUCTION. XV
Jersey, or its vicinity. His son John had a large family,
several of whom died young ; but his son Gibtersharp (or
Gibterthorp) died in 1850, at the age of 78 years ; and another
son, Samuel W., was still living, ten years ago, in Burlington.
Gibtersharp left four sons and four daughters, all of whom,
with the exception of the eldest son, John, were living in 1868.
Thomas, one of the other sons, was a physician at Franklin
Mills, Portage Co., Ohio, and William C, another, resided
in Toledo, Ohio.
5. For the last two hundred years there has been a settle-
ment of Earles on the Eastern shore of Maryland. To this
branch belonged the late Judge Richard Tilghman Earle, of
Neelwood, near Centreville, with whom, so long ago as 1840,
I held some correspondence in regard to the genealogy of our
families. In a letter dated October 8th of that year, he says :
"The family record of my ancestry I have made up chiefly
from a well attested manuscript of my grandfather, James
Earle, who died in the year 1736. The author states that his
grandfather and grandmother, James Earle and Rhody Earle,
came to Maryland in 1683, and brought with them thirteen
children, their eldest son, John Earle, being in the country
before, in the command of a ship ; that the commander was
afterwards captured by pirates on the coast of Africa, and
ended his life in slavery ; that he descended from the second
son, Michael Earle ; and that his uncle Joseph Earle, settled
in the same neicrhborhood with his father. No farther notice
is taken of the thirteen children, neither in ascertaining the
number of males and females, nor in stating what became of
them. The manuscript is equally unfortunate in another
important particular, in omitting to tell from what country the
immigrants, James Earle, his wife Rhody Earle, and their
thirteen children came when they took up their abode in
Maryland."
Dr. John C. Earle, now of Easton, Md., is a son of Judge
Richard Tilghman, and the widow of another son, James
Tilghman, is living near Centreville. Two others, Richard
XVI INTRODUCTION.
Tilghman and Samuel Tilghman, are farmers residing upon
old family homesteads ; and a fifth, George, now deceased,
was a lawyer and held offices both State and national.
6. In 1805 John Baylis Earle was a member of Congress
from South Carolina. A letter from him to Pliny Earle,
senior [355-1]? in reply to a request for genealogical informa-
tion in regard to his family, and dated at Washington on the
13th of January of the year aforesaid, is now before me. In
it he says: "My grandfather, whose name was Samuel
Earle, lived and died in the State of Virginia, in the neighbor-
hood of Lord Fairfax. My father having married and removed
to South Carolina before I was born, I had no opportunity to
know much of my distant relatives. * * * My father had but
one own brother, who was father to the Samuel Earle, late a
member of Congress." He then proceeds to mention a trait
in some of his relatives which has been exhibited in the
descendants of Ralph of Rhode Island: "A number of the
young men are remarkable for their mechanical ingenuity.
None of them ever served an apprenticeship to any business,
but they have learned trades without instruction, and done
several kinds of work to great perfection, one of them having,
without any assistance or many tools, made an elegant horse-
man's sword."
General Elias Earle and his cousin Baylis J. Earle, of
Waldo, near Santa Fe Lake, Florida, are, according to a
letter from the latter, in 1883, descendants of the above-men-
tioned John Baylis and of Elias Earle, his brother, who was
also, as is stated in the letter, "in Congress from the northern
district of South Carolina about 75 years ago." The letter
also states that John Baylis is a family name, and was borne
not only by the member of Congress, but also "by Judge
Baylis John Earle, of South Carolina, and also by Gen. John
Baylis Earle, who was, for twenty years, the Adjutant and
Inspector General of South Carolina. Elias, Baylis and
Samuel are family names in the southern branch."
Colonel William E. Earle, a lawyer, in Washington, D. C,
INTRODUCTION. XVII
is a member of the South Carolina branch. I believe it has
been shown that Samuel Earle, the grandfather of John Baylis
Earle, who was in Congress in 1805, was a son of the James
and Rhody Earle who were the first American progenitors of
the Maryland Earles.
7. According to the Records of Boxford, Mass., William
Eills, of that town, m. Nov. 19, 1719, Sarah Curtis. They
had five children, three of whom were sons. William, the
eldest, and the only one, so far as known, who lived to have

8. Being in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, in 1879, ^ -^"^^^ ■'^^'•
Porter W. Earl, then a resident, with his famil}^, of that city.
I was strongly impressed with his very striking family resem-
blance to the descendants of the fifth and sixth generations of
Ralph Earle who were living in Leicester, Mass., and its
vicinity from fifty to seventy years ago. This resemblance
was so marked as to leave no doubt upon my mind that he is
a descendant of Ralph. He stated that his father, Stephen H.
Earl, whose mother was either a Hopkins or a Williams,
removed from Newport, R. I., or its vicinity to Vermont and
there, at the age of 33 years, married Sarah Porter. Their
children were: i, Sarah, who 7ii. Christian Ingersoll. 2,

ried. 2, William, ;;/. and lives in Colorado. 3, Harriet, m.
and lives in Peoria, 111. 4, Mary, «^. Baxter, and lives
in Cedar Rapids. 5, Ella, living unmarried with her father.
Mr. Earl further stated in regard to his father, Stephen H.,
that he was taken prisoner by the British at Newport in the
Revolutionary war ; and that he died at Hamburg, near
Buffalo, N. Y., in 1838. Perhaps the true position of this
family among the descendants of Ralph and Joan ma}^ here-
after be discovered. Porter [?J W. now resides in Peoria, 111.
9. James S. Earle, the founder of the picture gallery in
Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, Pa., was the son of Henry
Earle, who removed from Winchester to London, Eng., and
INTRODUCTION. XXI
died in 1820. James came to America in 1815. His brother,
John H., came in 1825 and also settled in Philadelphia.
COAT OF ARMS.
Several inquires have been received in relation to the coat
of arms of the Earle family. As will be seen below, a no
inconsiderable number of armorials have been granted to
different members of the family in England. But in all my
intercourse, either personal or by written correspondence,
with the descendants of Ralph and Joan, I have found no one
who wore or bore a coat of arms, and in only one instance
have I heard of one in the possession of any family.
The late Edward W. Lawton, of Newport, R. I., a man of
much general culture, who was born in 1786, and between
whose ancestral relatives and the Earles there had been several
intermarriages, sent to me, in 1858, the dates of birth, mar-
riage, etc., of the children of John [199-5] and Dorcas
(Barney) Earle, accompanied by the following statement:
"The transcript (of dates, etc.) was sent me by my benevo-
lent Aunt Sarah [440-5], who gave away the bible, as she
did every other article in the house that her needy friends
would take, even the coat of arms of the Earles, which was
set in a small black frame, with 10 by 12 glass. I remember
the horses' heads only." He thought it must still be in the
possession of some descendant of John and Dorcas.
The subjoined list of granted armorials in England is copied
from Mr. Burke.
1. Earl. (Swallowfield Place, County of Berks.) Gules,
three escallops, within a bordure engrailed, argent. Crest —
A Lion's head, erased or, pierced with a broken dart proper.
2. Earl, or Erlley. The same arms. C7'est — On the point
of a tilting spear, proper, headed argent, a dolphin naiant of
the first.
3. Earl. Gules on a chevron argent; three trefoils sable
between as many escallops in chief and a dolphin in base,

all within a double tressure engrailed of the second, the outer
bordure or. Crest — A nag's head erased sable maned or.
4. Earle. (Topsfield, County of Essex, and Craglethorpe,
County of Lincoln.) Gules three escallops within a bordure

or.
5. Earle. (Boston, County of Lincoln.) Gules an amulet
or, between three escallops argent within a bordure engrailed
of the third.
6. Earle. (Lincolnshire; granted 1558.) Gules a fesse,
between three sheldrakes argent. Crest — A Lion's head
erased or, pierced through the head with a broken spear
argent the point embrued gules.
7. Earle. Gules, on a fesse or, three magpies proper
membered of the second.
8. Earle. Azure a fesse between two cotises or.
9. Earle. Paly of ten or and gules a mullett in chief

gules five crowns or. Crest — A cross gules between two
wings ermine.
11. Earles (granted i August, 1660). Ermine on a chief
indented sable three eastern crowns or.
The coat of arms borne by the Earles of Maryland differs
from any one of these, but has points of resemblance to several
of them, and is most nearly like the first and the fourth.
The special English branch of the family from which Ralph
originated must, apparently, be discovered, before his descend-
ants can rightfully claim either of the armorials here men-
tioned.
The names of more than four thousand of the descendants
of Ralph and Joan Earle are mentioned in this collection,
although those which are regularly numbered, in the body of
the work, are, as indicated by the last number on page 439,
INTRODUCTION. XXIII
only 3,978. In cases where a person named Earle, whether
man or woman, had but one child, the name of that child is
given in connection with that of its parent, and under the
designating number of that parent ; and the history of the
family is not carried forward to the next generation. Hence
there is no special number for the child. Examples of this
kind may be seen in No. 1688-10, where Martha J. Earle
married Charles E. Osgood, and in No. 1804-4, where Frank
M. Earle married Anna Conlin. These exceptional cases are
alone sufficient to swell the number of named descendants to
a considerable excess over four thousand ; and to these may
be added the later received names printed near the end of the
book, under the head of "Additions."
Ralph and Joan Earle had five children — two sons and
three daughters. The two sons had eleven children ; the
three daughters, twenty-nine. The eleven, by family name,
were Earles ; the twenty-nine had several family names, cor-
responding, respectively, with the surnames of the husbands
of the three daughters. The descendants of the twenty-nine
who had other family names, have undoubtedly been far more
numerous than the descendants of the eleven Earles. As in
most other genealogies, there is, in this book, no attempt to
trace the descendants of females named Earle, farther than
their children. So far as our knowledge extends, the names,
dates of birth, etc., of the children of every married woman
whose maiden name was Earle, are here recorded ; but the
names of her grandchildren, and the descendants of later
generations, are not, unless she married an Earle. Thus, for
example, the names, so far as known, of the children of the
three daughters of Ralph and Joan, are inserted ; but those of
the children of those children are not. There the descending-
lineage of those families stops ; and the same rule is followed
throughout the book. In the endeavor to maintain a rigid
adherence to this rule, I have been obliged, and often with
much regret, to omit more than a thousand names now in my
possession.
XXIV INTRODUCTION.
It will be perceived that the orthography of the family name
has differed, in England, as well as in America. To say
nothing of the apparently original De Erlegh, and the later
De Erie, the spelling has been, in that country, Erie, Earl,
Earls and Earle, in different branches. The name is still
found there under these four several forms ; but it is believed
that Earle is by far the most prevalent.
In the compilation of this book, the diversit}^ of orthography
has been the source of no little labor, not to say annoyance.
It has been the endeavor, as stated in a note on page i8, to
give the names of all living descendants, as they themselves,
in each instance, would write it. But it is undoubtedly true
that, in many instances, there has been a failure to accomplish
that object. As an illustration of the difficulty in its accom-
plishment, as well as to show how the spelling of one's name
is governed by either taste, whim or caprice, the following
curious example may be adduced : In a public registry of
one of the counties in Massachusetts, there is the record of a
document relating to the ov/nership of certain real estate.
The paper was signed by six brothers. If their signatures be
correctly copied, the first three of them spelled their surname
Earll : the next two, Earle ; and the last one, Earl. The
paper was signed more than a hundred years ago.
Perfect accurac}' in the multitude of statistics of a genealogi-
cal work is impossible ; but it is hoped that this contains few
errors other than those which were apparently unavoidable.
Of these, the compiler desires to receive corrections, which
Vv'ill be preserved for future use, should the time come in
which, by other hands than his, the work may be continued,
and its scope enlarged by the tracing of some branches not
here fully developed.

ABBREVIATIONS.
The following abbreviations are used in this work : — b. for born ; d. for
died; dau. for daughter; fff. for grand; ;«. for married; unm. for unmarried.
For the names of children look under the numbers of their parents.
The italicized names in parenthesis, immediately following the name of a
married descendant, where his personal and family record is given, show his
direct pedigree back to the emigrant Ralph; and the small figures, attached
to those names, indicate the generation to which each of those persons,
respectively, belonged. For instance, in the case of [1638-2] George F.
Earle, on page 328, the parenthetical names show that George's father was
Halford, of the seventh generation; his grandfather, Frederick, of the sixth
generation; his great-grandfather, George, of the fifth generation; and so on,
to Ralph, of the first generation. By these italicized names it is very easy for
any descendant to trace his direct ancestry.

RALPH EARLE
AND HIS
DESCENDANTS.
FIRST GENERATION.
[i]. Ralph' Earle; w. Joan ; and <i. at Portsmouth,
R. I., in 1678.
Of the place of birth, the residence previous to emigration
from England, or the ancestry of Ralph, we have no positive
history. There is a tradition among his descendants that he
came from Exeter, in the year 1634, ^^^ ^'^^ tradition is
probably correct. There is little doubt that he was married
in England, and that his wife came with him, but her maiden
surname and the dates of her birth and death are unknown.
Her Christian name is spelled in the old records in three
different ways, viz. : lone, Jone and Joan ; we have adopted
the last orthography as now the most common.
The earliest trace of Ralph hitherto discovered, is in the
records of Newport, R. I. His name is there found under
date of "first of eighth month" (October), 1638, in a list with
fifty-eight others, arranged as "A catalogue of such persons
who, by the Generall consent of the company, were admitted
to the Inhabytants of the Island now called Aqueedneck,
having submitted themselves to the Government that is, or
shall be, established according to the word of God therein."

1 8 THE EARLE FAMILY [First
The following is extracted from the records of Portsmouth,
R. I.:
" April y*" 30"", 1639.
We, whose names are under [written, doe acknowledge*] our-
selves the legell subjects of [his majestic] King Charles, and in his
name [doe hereby binde] ourzelves into a civill body politicke, unto
his lawes according to matters of justice."
This declaration was signed by twenty-nine men, of whom Ralph
Earlef was one. January 7, 1640, it w^as ordered at a town meeting
that he and his co-partner, Mr. Wilbur, " shall serve the town with
good sufhcient stuff', viz : well sawn boards at eight shillings the
hundred, and half inch boards at seven shillings, to be delivered at
the pit by the waterside."
March 31, 1640, Ralph conveyed to William Baulstone " parcells
of upland and meadow."
In the record of a town meeting held August 26, 1647, it is stated
that he was " chosen to keep an Inn to sell beer and wine, and to
entertain strangers " ; and at another held June 2, 1649, he was
" chosen Treasurer for this year next insuing, and also overseer of
the poor."
At a simihar meetiiig on the 29th of April, 1650, Ralph and five
others were chosen " for the committee for the General Assembly at
Newport in May next." On the I3th of November, 1650, it was
" voated & granted that Ralph Erl's house wherein he now dvvelleth
be recorded & Inn, in y'^ room of y' former vote that he was an Inn-
keeper " ; on the 19th of January, 1651, he and three others were
chosen "to proportion every man's farm," &c., for the purpose of
assessing a tax for the support of a poor man ; and on the 3d of June,
165 1, he was again elected town treasurer.
* A part of the record is torn off, and it has been supplied on the town's
book by the words in brackets.
t This name in all the very earliest records is written with the final e, but the
orthography soon begins to vary and runs into the several forms — Earl, Earll,
Erl and Erie.
In minor branches of the family the two forms Earle and Earl have been
continued to the present day; and in central New York there are many
families whose descent from Ralph is indicated by circumstantial evidence,
but has not been positively demonstrated, who now write their names Earll.
In this compilation the orthography of livitig families is that which is used
by them, wherever it is known, and it Avill be seen that it sometimes varies in
individuals of the same family.
Gen.] genealogy. 19
Under date of August 35, 165 1, there is a record of an agreement
of division of fence between Ralph Earle and John Tripp. Avery
old copy of the original document is now in the possession of the
heirs of the late George Earle of Providence, R. I. ; it is dated
August 35, 1639.
On the 3ist of May, 1651, Ralph conveyed a tenement and eight
acres of land to Nicholas and Joan Harte ; on the 34th of June,
1653, he sold to William Arnold of Providence, land formerly owned
by Francis Weston's wife Margaret, near " Pawtuxet Falls " ; on
February 19, 1653, he quitclaimed to Thomas Lawton, and on
December 13, 1653, he conveyed twenty acres to William Cadman.
In 1654, he and another man were chosen as a town's committee
to " oversee the work of the Prison."
On the 5th of April, 1655, he conveyed to his son William eighteen
acres of land on the northern extremity of the island, at Bristol
Ferry. It is traditional that he owned the ferry, but this has not
been confirmed by any discovered records.
May 5, 1655, the "Jurymen chosen for the Generall Court of
Tryals to be held at Providence," were John Sandford, Ralph Earle
and Francis Brayton. Ralph was again upon the grand jury in 1669.
May 35, 1655, he was appointed by the Court of Commissioners to
keep a house of entertainment. A convenient sign was to be set out
at the most "perspicuous" place, to give notice to strangers.
On November 34, 1656, he conveyed land to Daniel Grinnell,
Ralph, Jr., signing the deed as witness ; and on the 5th of January,
1658, he conveyed forty acres to Jeremiah Willis.
At a town meeting March 3, 165S, five men were chosen " to
examine and audit Ralph Eai^ll's accompts of what the tov^'ne is
indebted unto him, and what they shall find the towne to be in his
debt shall be payd to the sayd Earll by the towne Treasurer."
August 10, 1667, he joined a " troope of horse," which had been
ordered to be raised, and signed, with eighteen others, a paper in
which they " approve of the choyce of our Captaine (Peleg N.
Sanford) and Lieftenant (John Almy) to the full." He was after-
ward captain of the troop.
June 7, 1 67 1, in the General Assembly, Ralph "Earll" and eleven
others, of Portsmouth, and a number of residents of Newport, were
appointed as a special court, to sit on the 15th of the same month, to
try " two Indians now imprisoned upon criminall charge."
20 THE EARLE FAMILY [FiRST
Ralph claimed the lands of the Dutch House of Good Hope, now
Hartford, Connecticut, and commenced a lawsuit therefor " against
Richard Lord and James Richards of Hartford, possessors of the
Dutch land, about 1667. Earl affirmed that he purchased the
land of Underhill, in August, 1653, and paid him twenty pounds
sterling for it ; but Underhill protested against Earl's claim." "It
is not improbable," continues the article from which we quote,
" that there was some foundation for this claim. There are many
papers upon the subject in the archives of Connecticut."
Ralph's will was as follows :
"The last will and testiment of Ralph Earle, of Portsmouth, on
Rhoad Island, being in perfect memory, being sencible of man's
mortalitie and for the avoiding of futur controversies amongst my
Relations doe order and dispose of my Estate as followeth : — first I
doe order, substitute and apointe Jone my wife my whole and sole
Executrix to Receive and pay all whatsoever is due Either to or from
mee and that which Remains of my Estate shall bee and Remaine in
the hand and possession of my said wife during her naturall life and
att her deceas to be disposed and divided in maner and forme follow-
ing, namely, my will is that after and upon the decease of my said
wife that all my land and housing, with the apurtinenc thereto
belonging, shall be and Remaine to my Eldest sonn, Ralph Earle,
and to Ralph Earle, the sonn of my sonn William Earle, to be
Equally divided into three parts, my sonn Ralph to have two parts
thereof and my said Grandsonn one, to be to them, there heirs and
Asigns a possesion and Estate forever : and further my will is that all
my moveable Estate shall, at the decease of my said wife, be Equally
divided into five parts, and that my sonn Ralph Earle shall have two
parts thereof, he paying, or causing to be paid, the sum of one
shilling to my son William Earle, as his portion of my Estate, and
the other thi'ee parts thereof I doe give and bequeath to my three
daughters, that is to say, Mary the wife of William Cory, Martha
the wife of William Wood, and Sarah, widow to the late deceased
Thomas Cornell, to Each of them an Equall share : and for the
dividing and disposing wherof, as an overseer, I doe order and apoint
my friend and neighbor John Tripp the Elder to take care to see this
my will performed as abovesaid ; and that this is my will and testa-
ment, to be performed to all true intents, witness my hand and seal,
this nienteenth day of november, in the year one Thousand six hun-
dred Seventy and Three."

4-3. Mary Earle ; in. William Cory.
5-4. Martha Earle ; m. William Wood.
6-5. Sarah Earle ; in. Thomas Cornell.
SECOND GENERATION.
[2-1]. Ralph" Earle (Ralfh^), son of Ralph and Joan
Earle ; w. before Oct. 26, 1659, Dorcas, dau. of Francis
and Lydia Sprague, of Duxbury, Mass. ; and d. proba-
bly in 1 7 16, as letters of administration were granted to
his son John on the 6th of January, 17 17.
The first intimation of this Ralph is in the record of a town meet-
ing in Portsmouth, January 19, 1651, where his father is mentioned
as Ralph Earle, Senior. The next is his signature as witness to one
of his father's deeds of real estate, November 24, 1656. He was re-
'ceived a freeman of the town May 11, 1658 ; and at the same meeting
it was " Ordered that Ralph Earll Jun'' shall be payd Eleven
Shillings after the Rate of Eight white peages (beads) per peny, by
the Treasurer."
October 26, 1659, Francis Sprague, "of Duxborough," conveyed
to his "son-in-Law, Ralph Earl, of Road Island," one-half share of
land at " Coaksett and Acushena, in the Jurisdiction of Plymouth."
Sprague had his title to the land from the Indians Wosamequin and
"Wamsitta."
It is probable that Ralph immediately removed from Portsmouth
and settled upon this land, as at the time of all known subsequent
allusions to him he was in Dartmouth, within which the land was
situated. He was one of the persons who received the confirmatory
deed of the town, and it is known that he was there in 1663.
May 10, 1684, John Eyanoe conveyed to Ralph Earle, a neck or
island, made at high water, in Yarmouth, in consideration of a
"certain parcel of Land sittuate under y'' goverment of new york in
America, upon cutAhonkko, viz. one neck and one island in A fresh
pond upon s*^ cutAhonkko, and Twenty acres of Land in Dartmouth,
payd by Ralph Earl."
June 13, 1688, "Ralph Earl of Dartmouth," " in consideration of
natural love and affection," conveyed to his son Ralph, " one half of
22 THE EARLE FAMILY [SECOND
the westermost island, called Elizabeth Island, to be his after my
decease."
October 20, 1689, "in consideration of natural affection," he con-
veyed to his son William one hundred acres of land in Dartmouth.
June 10, 1692, he says that " of my own moote [and] motion, for
divors good causes and good considerations moveing mee thereunto,
beside my trew Love and naturall Affections that I bare unto this
my youngest son Joseph Earle, and for his advancement for time to
come," and "with the consent of Dorcas, my wife," he conveyed to
the said Joseph two hundred acres of land in Dartmouth. This was
"bounded upon Ponaganset River, So up into the woods."
July 24, 1693, he conveyed to his son William, "in consideration
of natural love and affection, one quarter part of the Island called by
the Indians Pocatahunka, being the westermost Island."
He was a large land holder, and many other of his conveyances
are upon record. Of these grants, the only consideration for the
value of the land appears to have been his "natural love and affec-
tion " in the following instances, namely : 250 acres to his son John ;
after his death 100 acres to his grandson John, 100 acres to his
grandson Daniel, 50 acres to his grandson Benjamin, and "A small
Island, or Tract of Land," to William Ingraham.
The following paragraph is taken from John W. Barber's Histori-
cal Collections of Massachusetts :
" During Philip's War a great part of this town [Dartmouth] was
laid desolate and many of the inhabitants killed. The most of the
Plymouth forces were ordered thither. In coming to Russel's garri-
son, at Ponaganset, or Aponaganset, in this town, they met with a
number of the enemy that had surrendered themselves prisoners, on
terms promised by Capt. Eels, of the garrison, and Ralph Earle,
who persuaded them to come in, by a friendly Indian whom he
employed. It is to be regretted, however, that notwithstanding the
promises made by the above persons to the Indians, they were, by
the superior authorities, carried away to Plymouth, ' then sold and
transported out of the country, being about eight score persons.' "
The children of Ralph and Dorcas (Sprague) Earle were :
7-1. John Earle ; 7n. Mary Wilcox.
8-2. Ralph Earlk ; m. Dorcas Dillingham.
9-3. William Earle ; m. Hephzibah Butts.
10-4. Joseph Earle ; vi. Elizabeth Slocum.
Gen.] genealogy. 23
[3-2]. William^ Earle (Ralpk^), son of Ralph and Joan
Earle ; m. ist, Mary, dau. of John and Katharine
Walker, of Portsmouth, R. I., issue, three children;
2d, Prudence {d. Jan. 18, 1718) ; and d. Jan.
15. 1715-
The first known record of William is under date of April 3, 16;^,
when he and his wife Mary sold to James Sands their interest in
fourteen acres that came by riglit of the late widow Walker ; the land
having come by marriage of Mary Walker (daughter of the widow)
to William Earle.
In 1658, on the nth of May, he was "Received a freeman" of
Portsmouth ; on the i8th of the same month "Att the Generall court
of Commissioners held for the Collony, at Warwicke," he was
admitted as a freeman of the colony ; "and on the 8th of June, he and
two others were " chosen Jurymen to attend the Generel court of
Tryels, at Newport."
At a town meeting held May i, 1665, it was ordered that William
Earle and William Correy (Cory) should have " one acker of land
on the hill cauled Briges hill, or some other conveniant place in this
townes Comons, and a quarter of an acker of land lying aganst y'^
towne pond over against William Earle's new dwelinge house, and
these two pearcells of land they are to have and to enjoy to them and
theres, so long as they maintain a wind mill in this towne for the
towns use, Provided that if they maintain not the said mill then the
said pearcells of land is to be returned and laid downe to the townes
use and dispose." In 1668, the wind mill had been erected, and the
town, at the request of said Earle and Cory, annulled the above
order, and exchanged two acres of ground near the mill for two acres
belonging to the said parties. In 1684, the site of the mill is men-
tioned as "Windmill hill," and in 1685, the grounds were re-ex-
changed, the town and the parties taking their former property
respectively.
" The Eare marke of William Earl's cattell is a hapeny under the
side of y^ further Eare and a Slit on the Nere Eare, of 13 yeares
standing, and Entred upon Record by me, Richard Bulgar, towne
Clarke, December, y'^ 5"% 1667."
William removed to Dartmouth about the year 1670, and stayed
several years, his interest there being large. He owned more than
24 THE EARLE FAMILY [Second
two thousand acres from his claims in the original division of the
land. Copies of many conveyances both to and from him are upon
record. In one of the latter, dated June 26, 1680, in consideration
of " naturall Love and affection," he conveyed to his son Ralph and
his wife Mary, " of Dartmouth," a " parcel of Land Scituate Lying
and being in the Township of Freetown, in the county of -Bristoll
aforesaid, on the Eastward side of Tanton River, containing half a
share, that is to say, half that whole share Adjoyning to the Fall
River, two thirds whereof I do give to my said son Ralph Earll his
heirs and Assigns forever ; and the other Third thereof I do give to
my said Daughter in Law Mary Earll her heirs and Assigns forever."
This deed was executed in Portsmouth, and the land conveyed is
now the site of the central and earliest settled part of the city of Fall
River.
On the 6th of May, 1691, the "General Assembly for their
Majesties Collony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, in
New England, in Portsmouth on said Rhode Island, for the Election
of General Officers for the said Collony," was held "at the house of
William Earle, it being removed from Newport by reason of the
distemper." It was " adjourned until the 23*^ day of June, and then
to meet again at the house of William Earle, in Portsmouth, except
the Governor sees cause to meet sooner, if urgent occasion should
present."
In 1692, he was on the " grand Inquest at Newport" ; and on the
6th of October he conveyed to his " welbeloved son Thomas Earll,
of the Town of Dartmouth, * * * one full quarter of a share of
upland" in Dartmouth.
He was a deputy from Portsmouth to the General Assemblies held
at Providence, October 25, 1704, and at Newport, May i, 1706, and
Julys, 1706.
In his will, executed Nov. 13, 1713, he gave to his son William,
a brass milk pan, and a like gift to liis sons Thomas, Ralph and
John, and his daughters Mary Borden, Mary Hix and Prudence
Durfee, and to the last a negro girl, " Kate," also, to his son John,
all the rest of the estate, real and personal, he paying legacies as
follows : to grandson Caleb Earle, forty -acres, or =£40, at the age of
twenty-one. To granddaughter Joan Earle, daughter of Caleb,
JCio, at twenty years of age. His son John was to allow his mother
comfortable and sufficient maintenance.

January, 1742, in the eightieth year of her age."
Ralph had taken the oath of fidelity, or freeman's oath, before
March 24, 1686.
In 1693 he conveyed to his brother William, then in Dartmouth,
" one half pail of all and Singular my Island, as my father Ralph
Earle hath given it to mee, which said Island is called Elizabeth
Island." He had lived at one period on this island.
Ralph's will, executed April 2, 1718, and entered for probate May
8, 1 718, mentions his wife Dorcas, his brother Joseph, his daughters
Deborah, Hannah and Meribah, and his son Barnabas, to each of

was chosen Moderator. It appears that he had a liberal estate for
the times and place in which he lived. He received, by bequest, his
father's homestead and various other lands. He also had an interest
in the common lands of Dartmouth, and his name, among others, is
signed to requests for calls of meetings of the " Proprietors and Pur-
chasers," in several years from 1743 to i773'

Cotohunko, containing, by estimation, one hundred and twelve
acres." August 29, 1693.
On the same day he conveyed to the said Slocum the use of one-
eighth part of the same island during the life of his father, Ralph.
February 3, 1696, in consideration of thirty pounds sterling, he
conveyed to Robert Havens one hundred acres of land in Dartmouth.
He was chosen constable in 1695, and again March 30, 1696.

His father having given him two hundred acres of land in Dart-
mouth, he lived many years in that town, but removed to Ports-
mouth, R. I., before May i, 1730. In the former town he was
chosen juryman "for trials" in 1696, 1699 and 1700, and was on the
grand jury in i7i9- He was constable in 1702, and fence-viewer in
1724.
" The Ear mark of Joseph Earl, his Cattel, is a croop on the right
Ear and a slit in the left. Recorded [Dartmouth] May the 2* day,
1724." '
On the 1st of May, 1730, he relinquished his claim in the burying-
ground at Portsmouth, and on the same day, in consideration, as he
says, of "paternal love, good will and affection, which I have and
do bear unto my loving son-in-law, James Kirby, of Newport," he
deeded to said Kirby a house and several parcels of land.

m. Elizabeth , and settled in Dartmouth, Mass.,
where he was chosen juryman in 1694, and constable in
1695 and 1696. On the 5th of July, 1695, his father,
who had lived in Dartmouth for some years, but had
returned to Portsmouth, conveyed to him, in considera-
tion of "love and affection," the homestead from which
he had removed in the former town.
It appears that William was engaged in a small way in the shipping
business, owning, in company with another man, a sloop with which
he carried on a coasting trade between the ports of southern New
England, New York and New Jersey.
In December, 1697, he removed to Springfield, N. J. ; bought a
farm there and passed the rest of his life upon it. The exact date of
his death is not known; but his will is dated Sept. 23, 1732? ^md
was proven May 10, 1733. In it after small legacies of money and
furniture to his apparently only surviving daughters, Mary Borden
and Martha Shinn, he gave the whole of the remainder of his estate,
both real and personal, to his son William.
William was a member of the Society of Friends. His descend-
ants followed his example in their religious relations and many of
them still remain in membership with that society.
William's name upon the i-ecords is written without the final e ;
and as all of his descendants, so far as appears, have adopted that
orthography, we here conform to their custom in that respect.

and Mary (Walker) Earle, was b. in 1660 ; m. Mary
(Carr) Hicks, widow of John Hicks, and dau. of Robert
Carr, of Newport, R. I. ; and ^. in 1757, at Leicester,
Mass. His wife d. in the same year. Both were interred
in the Friends' burial-ground, at Leicester, where are the
graves of members of no less than six generations of
their descendants.
The earliest known record of Ralph is, that he had taken the free-
man's oath in Dartmouth prior to March 24, 1686. In 1688, his
father gave to him and his wife the land " adjoyning the Fall River"
at Pocasset, in Freetown. His removal to and occupancy of this
land must have occurred soon afterward. He lived there between
twenty-five and thirty years, the site of his house being on what is
now Bedford street, about ten rods northeast of the northeast corner
of the market which was standing in i860. The house had a gam-
brel roof, and was destroyed about fifty years ago.
" The yaer mark of Ralph Earll's Creatures is a half penie on the
hinder part of the right yaer and a Crop on the Left and his brand-
mark RE. Enterd the 14: of february 169I by Sam'^ Gai'dner
Selectman."
He was surveyor of highways in 1690, '92 and '96, constable in
1699, and grand juryman in 1700 and 1715.
An old letter addressed to him in 1715, gives him the military title
Ensign. In that year he conveyed to his son John eight acres of
land, five of which was at Bristol Ferry, and came by gift from his
grandfather Ralph.
In 1 716, he went through Providence, R. I., into the interior of
Massachusetts as far as Leicester. On the way, at Grafton, Mass.,
he hired an Indian, named Moses Printer, as a guide. Upon a por-
tion of their route there was no path, and they marked trees as guides
32 THE EARLE FAMILY [Third
on their return. In the course of the next following year, 1717, he
removed with a part of his family to Leicester, and purchased two
tracts or lots of land of the original Proprietors of that town. The
two tracts contained about 550 acres. One of them included the
Mulberry Grove (now George and Billings Mann's) and some of the
adjoining farms, and the other was on the west side of Asnebumskit
hill, in what is now Paxton. Its westerly boundary appears to have
been the road leading northerly from the Penniman place, one mile
east of Paxton centre.
" Janowari 3, 1722, Ralf Earll Entred his mark (for cattle) the
Top of the left Ear oftV
His dwelling house was about one and one-half miles north-easterly
from the central village of Leicester, on Mulberry street, and very
near the site of the present residence of Benjamin Wilson. It was a
gambrel-roofed building of but one story, and was taken down in the
year 1846.
At a town meeting March 5, 1721, it was " Voated that Ralph
Earl" should have a certain " pew spot" in the meeting-house, he
paying the town twenty shillings. '
Within the next succeeding twelve years a meeting of the Society
of Friends, commonly called Qtiakers, was organized in the town.
Ralph joined it, and in 1732, he, his sons William and Robert and
four other men, asked to be released from paying " any pail of the
Tax for the Seport of the minister or ministers established by the
Laws of this province," alleging that they were Quakers, with a
conscientious scruple against such payment, and laying claim to
" the Privileges granted" to the people so-called. A meeting-house
was erected upon a lot taken from the farms of Ralph and his neigh-
bor and fellow-Quaker, Nathaniel Potter, both of whose bodies now
repose within a few feet of its site.
Ralph's interest in the Society was such that he went to Philadel-
phia to visit William Penn. Penn was at that time building a house
at Pennsburg, and it is said that he told Ralph that he would put the
initials of his name upon the chimney.
At a town meeting March 22, 1736, " Voted to alow Mr. Ralph
Earl four shillings to meet Worcester men to preambulate y'' line
between Worcester & lester."
It has been said that Ralph once owned Mount Hope, R. I., but
no deed of it can be found upon record.
Gen.] ' GENEALOGY. 33
Ralph's will was executed on the 25th of May, 1750. Among the
bequests to his wife is his " negro boy Sharp " ; and he directs that
if the negro be faithful and well-behaved, he shall have his freedom
at her decease. If he be not faithful, he may be sold. But before
Ralph died he manumitted the slave, and on the 6th of April, 1756,
gave him thirty acres of land on the southern declivity of Asnebum-
skit. In the deed of conveyance he says " In consideration of Love,
good will and faithful service to me performed by my negro servant
Sharp " he makes this gift. It appears that Sharp afterwards
assumed the name Freeborn as a surname. Ralph's deed is recorded
in the Worcester Registry, Book 38, p. 285.*

In 1692, when his father gave him land in Dartmouth, he went
there to live ; in 1696, conveyed his land to John Shaw ; lived a short
time in Portsmouth ; bought the same year of John Shaw 40 acres in
Swanzey,t to which he removed and added more to it; in 1708, sold
off' between one and two acres for a Friends' meeting-house ; in
* On the chart of " Ralph Earle and his Descendants" it is stated that he
held two slaves. This mistake was caused by the differences in the spelling
of Sharp's name in the records, f In the early records the spelling of the
name of this town is Sxvaiisea, but in this work we have adopted the modern
spelling — Stvanzcy.

of twenty-four shillings, twelve acres of the common lands.

of Silas and Mrs. Mary (Stockton) Shinn Crispin; and
d. in 1778.
After his brother William's decease he lived on his father's home-
stead and devised it to his son Thomas. In his will he says " I am
creditably Enformed that I have inherited a large Estate in Rhode
Island, By the Death of my Grand Father William Earl and I advise
my sons Thomas and Tanton to go in pursuit of it." No such
bequest was made in his grandfather's will.
The children of Thomas and Mary (Crispin) Earl were :
139-1. Tanton Earl, b. March 9, 1731 ; m. Mary Haines.
140-3. Thomas Earl; in. ist, Rebecca Newbold ; 2d, Leah
Tucker.
141-3. William Earl ; m. Mercy ; and d. before his father.
142-4. John Earl ; d. before his father.
[81-1]. William^ Earle ( Ralph, ^ William^ Ralfh'), son
of Ralph and Mary (Hicks) Earle, h. Nov. 12, 1690, in
Dartmouth or Freetown, Mass. ; m, Anna Howard, of
Tiverton, R. I. ; and d. in 1769.
He removed to Leicester, Mass., where he bought quite a large
tract of land of the original proprietors of the town. This was on
both sides of what is now Mulberry street, and Marshall street was
its northern boundary. His house was about fifty rods south of the
junction of those streets, a little north of the present dwelling of
John P. Stevens.
"Janowari 3, 1722, William [Earl] Entred his Mark [for cattle]
the Right Ear cut off." — [Leicester Town Records.
As already mentioned he was one of the earliest members of the
Society of Friends in Leicester, and at a town meeting, held March
2, 1730, it was, at his request, " Voted to abate Will'" Earl So much
of his Rate (tax) as proportionally appears To be his part to the

minister Rate." Twenty-eight years later, in 175S, and after the
decease of his father, the adult male members of the Society were
William Earle, Nathaniel Potter, Dudley Wade Swan, Steward
Southgate, Robert and Benjamin Earle, Benjamin Wheaton, William
Earle, Jr., John Potter and Nathaniel Potter, Jr.
January 12, 1737? ^t a town meeting it was "Voted to keep y*^
school at Mr. William Earl's, one month, from this time."
March 33, 1737, he conveyed by deed to his son William, the
southerly half (87 acres) of his farm, that portion which bounds the
Mulberry Grove farm, now George and Billings Mann's, on the,
north. He built a grist-mill near the N. E. corner of his farm, on
what was then called Hasey's brook, and about sixty or eighty rods
south of the point where Marshall street crosses that stream. Some
remains of the dam are still visible. On the 2Sth of December,
1739, he conveyed his farm and buildings — dwelling-house, barn and
grist-mill, — to " Luke Lincoln, of Scituate, Co. of Plymouth," in con-
sideration of £1,800. About two months later, February 14, 1740,
he bought a farm of John Glasford, and lived on it until September
23, 174S, when he conveyed it to Jabez Green, of Stoneham, for
£3,000, old tenor, bills of credit. This place was occupied by Green,
and later by his son, Abel Green. It is now owned by Charles M.
Marsh, and lies a little east of the north end of the Lynde reservoir,
the house being at the junction of Fowler and Reservoir streets.
William soon afterwards removed to Shrewsbury, where he
remained several years. In 1766 he was living in Paxton, where,
on the 8th of April, 176S, he conveyed half of the farm and build-
ings where he dwelt to his son William, and the other half to his
son Ralph. This farm is now the Tyler Penniman place, one mile
east of Paxton centre, and was a part of the large tract originally
owned by William's father, Ralph, and Jonathan Witt.
William appears to have been among the few wealthiest men of
his time in Leicester. He dealt largely in real estate, and many of
his conveyances are upon record. In some of them he calls himself
"yeoman," in others "joyner."
His will was executed March 33, 17*^9? ^^'^^ entered for jorobate
March 39, 1769.
The children of William and Anna (Howard) Earle were:

He lived some years in Portsmouth and the records of that town
mention him as " John Earll, Jr.," his father having a brother John
in the same town.
On the 15th of November, 1715, in consideration, as he says, of one
hundred pounds [£ioo], " paid by my unkle John Earll, of Ports-
mouth," he conveyed to said John [16-6] "all that my land Lying
Eastward of the Eastward Row of cherry trees, which Land was
given to me by my father, Ralph Earll, by Estimation four acres."
The deed is signed, "John Earll, Jr."
He removed to Swanzev before the time of his marriage.

of Maiden, by whom he had ten children ; and 2d, March
23, 1756, Hepsibah Johnson, of Worcester, Mass., by
whom he had two children. He d. in 1796.
At the age of eleven years he removed with his father to Leicester,
Mass. Upon his attainment of tlie age of twenty-one years his father
gave him by deed, dated Marcli 9, 1727-8, O. S., and without con-
sideration other than "love, good will and affection," two tracts of
land. Upon one of them, containing eighty acres, he erected a
dwelling, on the corner of Earle and Mulberry streets, in which he
resided during all his married life. On the nth of April, 1793, he
conveyed the place to his grandsons, Pliny and Jonah Earle, in con-
sideration of £300. In the next following year Pliny removed the
dwelling to the opposite (East) side of the road, and erected upon
the old site the house which, with some additions, is still standing.
Here Robert passed the remainder of his days in the family of his
grandson Pliny.
He had a strong constitution and retained his vigor and activity in
a remarkable degree until very near the close of his life. After the
ninetieth anniversary of his birth, he went alone and on horseback
to visit his sons in Chester, now Vt. On his return, he arrived home
at night, having ridden fifty miles on that day. On the following
morning he said he could ride to Boston on that day, without feeling
fatigue. Once at least, he rode in one day from Leicester to New-
port, R. I., to attend the yearly meeting of the Society of Friends,
of which Society, as heretofore mentioned, he was a member.
Some years before his death, he was returning from Worcester in
company with his brother William [Si-i], both on horseback,
when upon "Potash-plain," they tried the speed of then- horses,
both of them pacers, when Robert's horse fell, threw him, and so
injured him that he never fully recovered from the consequent lame-
ness.

44 THE EARLE FAMILY [Fourth
For these and about three hundred of their descendants see the
" History of the Rice Family," by A. W. Henshaw.
[91-11]. Benjamin^ Earle (Ralfh,^ Wtlliani,- Ralph'),
son ot Ralph and Mary (Hicks) Earle, b. March 14,
171 1, in Freetown, Mass. ; m. ist, Abigail Newhall, dau.
of Thomas Newhall, of Leicester, formerly of Maiden,
who was the mother of all his children ; 2d, widow
Deborah (Buffum) Slade {b. Dec. i, 1716; d. Dec. 26,
1804), dau. of Jonathan Buftum ; and d. Dec. 18, 1760.
Benjamin was the youngest of eleven children and appears to have
lived with his father during the life of the latter. January 18, 1753,
his father " in consideration of £100 lawful money and love and
affection" conveyed to him the homestead, consisting of the build-
ings and 140 acres of land. He afterward built a grist-mill upon the
stream running through the westerly part of the farm. Traces of the
dam are still visible, thirty or forty rods below the remains of another
dam, a short distance south of the Friends' cemeter^^, where his
brother Robert's grandson Timothy erected a saw- and grist-mill in
1815.
He was chairman of the Board of Selectmen in 1757.
According to the town records, he " Declared himself a Qiiaker
and Desired his name to be entered as such." August 13, 1739, he
and Nathaniel Potter deeded to Samuel Thayer of Mendon, the lot
upon w^hich the Friends erected their meeting-house. Much the
larger part of the lot was taken from Benjamin's farm, which was
a part of the original farm of his father Ralph. December 37,
1739, Thayer conveyed it to Benjamin Earle, Nathaniel Potter,
Thomas Smith and John Wells, with the condition that it should
never be divided, but held in common, and each one's share at his
decease should go to the survivors and their heirs or assigns forever.
Benjamin's son John enlisted In the army of the United States.
In 1760, while posted at a southern station he was attacked with the
small-pox. His father went for him, brought him home, took the
disease and both father and son died of It. In his will, executed In
1759, he gave his son Antipas "that farm that I bought of John
Hasey, being fifty acres with the Building and improvements, and
ten acres of my homestead." This farm Is on Fowler street, at the
head of the Lynde reservoir, and the modern house is on the site of
Gen.] genealogy. 45
the original and much larger one. To his son John he gave 120
acres " in the Northeasterly part of Leicester " ; to his son Gardiner,
" all my homestead " except the ten acres to Antipas, " with all my
buildings, mills and improvements thereon, also all my farming tools
and one half of my stock of creatures of all kinds the other half to be
equally divided among all fojjr of my sons." Gardiner was to
pay Antipas twenty-five pounds, thirteen shillings and fourpence.
Antipas was made executor and residuary legatee of real estate.
He afterward married his second wife and, as has been seen, in the
latter part of 1760, was removed by a somewhat sudden and unex-
pected death. He had made no change in his will and consequently
his widow was unprovided for. Under these circumstances the
action of the sons was highly commended and is worthy of commem-
oration. They appended to the will the following declaration :
"We, Newell Earl and Antipas Earl for our Selves & Thomas
Wheeler in Behalf of and with the free Consent of Gardiner Earl to
whom he is Guardian Notwithstanding what is Contained in the
foregoing Will in Consideration that since the foregoing will was
made y*^ Deceased married and hath now left a Widow We Do
therefor hereby give our full and free Consent & agree that our
Honored Mother-in Law Deborah Earl Shall have hold & Enjoy one
third part of the whol of s'^ Deceased's personal Estate given & not
given away in this Will after the just Debts &c. are paid as Witness

" I Newel Earl Eldest Son of S'^ Deceased agree that the Two
Thirds of our Dec'^ Fathers personall Estate shall be Divided
Equally between me & mv Two Brothers — in Case our S*^ mother
Enjoys y^ Other Third. Feby 5"^ 1761.

Newhall Earle had received nearly all his share of the estate before
the will was made.
The children of Benjamin and Abigail (Newhall) Earle

father, as has been seen, conveyed to him, in 1737, eighty-seven
acres of the south part of his farm. Upon this he built a large one-
story gambrel-roofed house, with an L, in which he lived and died.
In his will he gave this homestead to his sons, James and Joel, the
former of whom purchased the interest of the latter and made the
place his home until death. The house was on Mulberry street,
nearly one-fourth of a mile north of its junction with Earle street.
It was burned down about i860, when occupied by James's son,
Nathaniel, but the cellar still remains.
William also bequeathed to his son Oliver "the farm on which he
lives." This farm is in Paxton and adjoins the Penniman place on
the north.
William, for many years, was familiarly known in Leicester as
" Uncle Will." He retained the vigor and energy of manhood until
the close of his life, pursuing, with unabated skill and pleasure, his
favorite pastime of hunting. He was found dead in his bed, having
retired the preceding evening in usual health.

56 THE EARLE FAMILY [Fifth
continued active in promoting the interests of the Revolution.
Capt. Southgate engaged extensively in purchasing w^ild lands in
Maine. After the death of his oldest son he had occasion to visit
these lands from time to time, to dispose of them and to protect them
from trespassers. On the 7th August, 1806, having occasion to be
at Stillwater for this purpose, and wishing to pass a short distance
down the river, he got upon a couple of logs in the stream, and was
soon after thrown into the water in some way, and was drowned.
His body was soon recovered and buried at Kenduskeag Point, on
the banks of the Penobscot.

The following is extracted from "Washburn's History of Leicester :"
"Mr. Earle resided in Cherry Valley, Leicester, in the house
where Mr. Heman Burr now lives. [The house was burned in
1873]. He planted the fine rows of sycamores that stood [some of
the trees are still standing] before it, on the day of the battle of
Lexington. He was distinguished for his mechanical skill and
ingenuity. He manufactured a gun of exquisite workmanship for
Col, William Henshaw, in 1773 ; and when Col. Henshaw marched
to Cambridge, in 1775, he took it into the service. Here it fell
under the observation of Gen. Washington, who admired it so much
that he ordered one of the saine pattern. Mr. Earle having com-
pleted it, loaded and primed it, and placed it under water, all but the
muzzle, during a night ; and, taking it out in the morning, dis-
charged it as if it had just been loaded. He carried it to New York,
where the army then lay, and delivered it personally to Gen. Wash-
ington, having travelled the distance on foot, and carried it upon his
shoulder. It received great commendation for its perfection of
workmanship."
The gun was marked with the maker's name, " Thomas ^ar/."
Upon reading this. Gen. Washington said, "Mr. Earle, your name
is not correctly spelled ; E-a-r-1 is a title of nobility ; you should add
an c to it."

They lived in the house on Mulberry street, next south of its junc-
tion with Earle street. The homestead is now known as " Earle
Ridge," and is occupied as a summer residence by Stephen C. Earle,
architect, of Worcester, who is a great-grandson of Robert and
Sarah. Robert built the old part of the house in 177^' upon the
tract " twenty-five acres, more or less," deeded to him by his father
on the 3d of September of that year.
" He was a inan of great integrity, and much respected ; and the
regard in which he was held was indicated by the friendly title by
which he was generally known, 'Uncle Robert.'" — [Washburn's
History of Leicester.
His wife shared in the same regard, and was called "Aunt Sarah."
They and all of their children were members of the Society of
Friends. Of the five sons, one lived in the house with his parents,
but at the time of his decease, in 1819, had nearly completed a large
dwelling-house about . fifteen rods south of that of his parents ; and
the four others lived within a mile of their father's homestead, and in
sight of it, three of them in large houses built by them.
*At the time of her marriage her father's family lived upon what is now the
Town Farm.

In the language of a letter written nearly thirty years ago, " John
was born a sailor, and cared as little for money, although entirely
free from sailors' vices. During the Revolution he sent his family to
Mendon, Mass. He was taken by a British cruiser, and wrote to
his wife. The letter was opened and read at a public house, and

some one who heard its contents was not slow to carry the bad news
of his capture to his wife. But he took his ill-luck very philosophi-
cally. When the cruiser came alongside, after a long chase, the first
question he put was, ' How many feet keel is your brig ? ' He didn't
mind being taken, but he hated to be beat. He was, for a long time
before he quit business, captain of a Long Island Sound packet, a
rakish-loooking craft now extinct. He was never known to sleep at
night going up or down Sound ; and in a thick fog he could tell
where he was by the lead alone. Sam. Walden, pilot of the Narra-
gansett steamer, was a boy with him, and he said that there are no
such pilots now."
In another letter written about the same time, it is stated that he
" was universally respected within his sphere of action, which was
principally Rhode Island and New York, and loved and admired by
all his friends. His sister Phebe [201-7], who was never married,
was an inmate of his family as long as he lived ; she was much like
her brother John, a kind, quiet, excellent woman, who had a care
for everybody in preference to herself."

years at Union Springs, Cayuga Co., N. Y., and then in Brooklyn ;
but he died at Newport, when on a visit, and was buried in Friends'
burying-ground. He was said to be one of the best sailor-merchants
of the age. He was, when in Brooklyn, agent for all the Boston
insurance offices, and inspector for the Pacific Insurance Co. of
N. Y. He exposed himself, getting oft' stranded vessels, to the lasting
injury of his health. He got a ship off' Block Island, and took her

b. May 11, 1751, in Leicester, Mass. ; in. about 1773,
Sarah Gates; d. Aug. 16, 1801, in Bolton, Conn., the
death being recorded in the church records of that town.
The following notice of him is taken from Washburn's History of
Leicester :
" Ralph Earle deserves to be remembered as a man of fine genius
as a painter. He was the son of Ralph, and a great-grandson*
of the first Ralph Earle who settled in Leicester, the ancestor of
most of the families which have borne that name in the town.
In Dunlap's work upon the ' History of the Arts of Design in the
United States,' is a notice of Mr. Earle as an artist, in which he is
spoken of as having painted portraits in Connecticut in 1775 ; and
among his works were 'two full-lengths' of Dr. Dwight, painted
in 1777" * * * Mr. Earle executed, from sketches taken upon the
spot, four historical paintings, believed to be the first historical
paintings ever executed by an American artist; one, the battle of
Lexington ; one, a view of Concord, with the royal troops destroying
the stores ; one, the battle of the North Bridge, in Concord ; and
one, the south part of Lexington, where the first detachment was
joined by Lord Percy. These paintings were engraved, and pub-
lished by Amos Doolittle, of New Haven, Conn. It is certainly no
slight distinction to have been the first American historical painter.
Soon after the peace, we find him in England, pursuing his art
under the instruction of his countryman. Sir Benjamin West; and
such was his success that he was elected a member of the Royal
Academy in London. He returned to this country in 1786, and
continued to pursue the business of a painter in different parts of
* Washburn sajs " grandson," which is not correct.
88 THE EARLE FAMILY [SiXTH
Massachusetts, New York and Connecticut. He left several works
that gained him much credit ; and among them was a large one,
the 'Falls of Niagara,' which was much admired. He painted for
Col. Thomas Denny a landscape of much merit, and great fidelity of
representation, embracing the beautiful and picturesque view that
spreads out towards the east from the mansion-house on the old
Denny farm,* so called ; which is still preserved and in good condi-
tion. His productions were chiefly in the line of portraits, many of
which might have formerly been found in Northampton and Spring-
field. Among his last works of this kind were portraits of Gov.
Strong and his family."
Dunlap's opinion of him as an artist is as follows :
"He had considerable merit; a breadth of light and shadow;
facility of handling, and truth in likeness."
To this estimate of him it becomes our duty to add the remark of
Gov. Washburn, that " his habits unfortunately stood between him
and that eminence in his profession which genius had originally
placed within his reach."
In an obituary notice of Ralph's son, Capt. John Earle, in the
Worcester Palladium of April 30, 1S56, it is stated that while in
England Ralph " painted the portraits of many of the nobility, and
of some of the royal family " ; and that his picture of Niagara Falls
"was exhibited in all parts of the country, and was then carried to
London, where it was in existence but a few years ago."
The above-mentioned landscape taken from the Denny farm is still
well preserved, and is in the possession of Christopher C. Denny, of
Leicester, who received it from the heirs of Mrs. Lucretia, widow of
Thomas Denny, for whom it was painted.
Dunlap's mistake in giving to Ralph some military experience in
the early part of the Revolutionary war, can be explained only by
the facts that Clark Earle [301-3], the brother of Ralph, " marched
to Cambridge" from Faxton, Mass., in Capt. Phinehas Moore's
company, in April, 1775 ; and that Ralph Earle, father of Ralph the
artist, held a captain's commission and served during the larger part
of the war.
Gov. Washburn's statement (History of Leicester, page 209) that
it was Ralph who married in London, is incorrect, as will be seen
by our history of his brother James [303-4].

the time, was highly commended. He died in New Orleans. His wife lived
but a short time after marriage, and died without issue.

b. May i, 1761, in Leicester, Mass. ; in. in London,
Eng., about 1789, "Caroline Georgiana Pilkington
Smyth,* widow of Joseph B. Palmer Smj^th, of New
Jersey, U. S."
Seven years afterwards he came to America on a visit, and subse-
quently sailed for England, intending to bring his family to the
United States; but the vessel first went to Charleston, S. C, where
he was attacked by yellow fever and died in August, 1796. His will,
of which the following is -a copy, is recorded in the Registry at
Charleston : —
" ^U the name of 0od, amen; I, James Earl, of the city of Lon-
don, Limner, at present in the city of Charleston, do make this my
last will and testament.

Caroline Earl now residing in London (at present at No. 54 New-
man St.) and I do hereby appoint my said dear wife Executrix and
Alexander Jones of Charleston, Merchant, my Executor, of this my

Like his brother Ralph, James was a painter, and attained con-
siderable eminence in the art, in both England and America. Soon
after his decease " there was a most friendly eulogy of him in a
Charleston paper of the time, in which they stated that he was equal
to Copley, Savage, Trumbull, West, and other American geniuses

of the age, instancing his power of giving ' life to the eye, and
expression to every feature.' "
The children of James and Caroline G. P. S. Earle were :
731-1. Clara Earle.
732-2. Phebe Earle; m. ist, D. Dighton, military painter to
George IV., of England; 3d, Patrick Macintyre. In
1S63 they were living at Kilburn, near London.
723-3. Augustus Earle, b. 1793.
Augustus inherited the artistic talent, and, perhaps from a better
early education, exhibited a much greater power in painting than
his father. He was admitted as a student in the Royal Academy, in
London, before October, 1807 ; and some of his pictures were in two
of the public exhibitions previous to that date.
In 1833, the Longmans, of London, published a work with the
following title : "A Narrative of a Nine Months' Residence in New
Zealand, in 1827 ; together with a Journal of a Residence in Tristan
d'Acunha, an Island situated between South America and the Cape
of Good Hope. By Augustus Earle, Draughtsman to his Majesty's
surveying ship, 'The Beagle.'" The following account of the
journeyings of Augustus is extracted from the introduction to the
book above mentioned : —
"Although educated as an artist, a love of roving and adventure
tempted him, at an early age, to sea. Accordingly, in 1815, through
some interest he possessed at the Admiralty, he procured a passage
on board a store ship bound to Sicily and Malta, where he had a
brother stationed who was a Captain in the navy. In one of the
small craft attached to the British flotilla he visited many parts of the
Mediterranean, accompanying Lord Exmouth's fleet, in his brother's
gunboat, on his Lordship's first expedition against the Barbary States.
A peace being concluded with the Bey, he visited the ruins of Car-
thage, and likewise the remains of the ancient city of Ptolomea, or
Lepida, situated in Lybia, — the Bey providing our traveller and his
companions with a tent, camels, and a strong guard of Janissaries to
protect them against the Arabs. After this he returned to Malta,
passed through Sicily and ascended Mount Etna. He next proceeded
to Gibraltar, taking a minute survey of that mighty rock, its batteries,
caves, and Moorish ruins.
In the summer of 181 7 he returned to England, which he quitted
in the March following for the United States of America. After
rambling through them, which occupied nearly two years, he
embarked, February 11, 1830, on board ' The Warrior,' and reached
Rio de Janeiro on the 3d of April. In the June following, he
visited the coast of Chili ; and on the iSth of July he reached Lima,
92 THE EARLE FAMILY [Sixth
where he remained practising his profession as an artist, till the loth
of December, when he left it, on board 'The Hyperion,' bound to
England, in the expectation of meeting a vessel proceeding to Rio.
The Hyperion having spoken the 'Anna,' from Stockholm, he was
put on board of her and returned to Rio, where he pursued his art
with great perseverance and success ; and toward the commencement
of 1S24, having received the most flattering offers of an introduction
to Lord Amherst, who had just left England to take upon himself the
government of India, Mr. Earle resolved on quitting Rio and pro-
ceeding to the Cape of Good Hope, thence intending to take his
passage to Calcutta. Wearied, however, with awaiting the arrival
of a vessel bound to the Cape, he was enterprising enough, contrary
to the advice of all his friends at Rio, to intrust himself on board the
' Duke of Gloucester,' a worn-out Margate hoy, which was proceed-
ing thither with potatoes, laden to the water's edge."
Upon this voyage the vessel was forced to put in at the island of
Tristan d'Acunha. Augustus, with one companion, went a short
journey into the interior, and when they returned the vessel had left.
Augustus was detained in this almost desolate island from the 21st of
March to the 29th of November, 1824, when he was taken ofl'by the
"Admiral Cockburn," Captain Cooling, commander, bound to Van
Dieman's Land. We make one extract from his journal while at
Tristan d'Acunha : —
" Today I complete six months' miserable imprisonment on this
wretched island, and have no more prospect of getting oft" than I had
the first week that I came on shore. Instead of becoming reconciled
to my situation, I think I am lately more and more wretched. Every
species of pastime or occupation I could think of or invent, I have
exhausted. I sit for hours together watching- the horizon, in the
faint hope of catching sight of a vessel, and thinking of my friends in
England. Previous to the return of Spring, my gun was a source of
amusement, though my game, generally speaking, was no better
than gulls and various aquatic birds, but now, even that employment
is denied me. I go almost every day in pursuit of goats, of which I
have taken great numbers, but the intolerable fatigue and risk is
almost too much for me."
From Van Dieman's Land he went to New South Wales, and
thence, in October, 1827, to New Zealand. Here, in conversation
with one of the prominent natives, on the subject of cannibalism, the
latter said to him, "The only difference in our laws is, that, for
crime, you flog and hang, but we shoot and eat."
He returned to Sidney, New South Wales, where, " after making
innumerable sketches, and furnishing Mr. Burford with the original
drawings for his panorama recently exhibited in Leicester Square,
London, he determined to proceed to India, and accordingly left the

coast of New Holland in the ' Rainbow,' commanded by the Hon.
Captain Roos. This vessel touched at the Caroline Islands, pro-
ceeded to Guam, one of the Ladrones, thence to Manilla, and after-
wards to Singapoor, where he was introduced to the ' Resident,'
who paid him every attention. The vessel then sailed through the
Straits of Malacca to Pulo-Penang, he enriching his portfolio at every
resting place."
"At Madras he acquired both fame and money, and during his
short stay there executed the original drawings of that presidency
which have since been copied and exhibited as a panorama by
Messrs. Daniell & Parris. While in the zenith of his celebrity, his
health unfortunately declined, and he was advised to leave India
with as little delay as possible ; and feeling convinced that his life
depended on his speedy departure, he immediately went down to
Pondicherry, taking thence his passage to England, by way of
France, on board ' La Julie,' a trader bound to Bordeaux and laden
with a heavy cargo of sugar ; but being overtaken by adverse gales,
the Captain was compelled to lighten his vessel by throwing over-
board the whole of the cargo, and after considerable difficulty made
the Mauritius (Isle of France) w^here. ' La Julie' being condemned,
our traveller was obliged to remain until the arrival of the first ship
bound for England. This proved to be the free-trader ' Resource,'
commanded by Capt. Stodart. During the stay of this vessel at the
Mauritius, Mr. Earle executed a series of beautiful panoramic views
of that picturesque and interesting island. He arrived safely in this
country, with a spirit not at all depressed by the vicissitudes and
perils he had gone through, but with an increased and more insatiable
desire to visit climes which he had read of, but never seen. An
opportunity soon offered, and he unhesitatingly availed himself of it,
accepting the situation of draughtsman to His Majesty's ship ' Beagle,'
commanded by Capt. Fitzroy, and which has lately (1832) left these
shores on a voyage of discovery not likely to terminate under four
years."
He died not long afterwards, but when and where we have not
learned.

Gen.] genealogy. 105
As has already been seen, Robert Earle, senior [S9-9], conveyed,
in 1792, liis homestead to his grandsons, Pliny and Jonah Earle.
The house was at the junction of what are now Mulberry and Earle
streets.
Pliny immediately made the place his home, and his grandfather
lived in the family until his decease, in 1796. A barn was erected
in 1792, ten or twelve rods southwest of the house. In 1793, the
house was removed directly across the road (Mulberry street),
enlarged, and made the factory in which Pliny Earle & Brothers
carried on the manufacture of hand and machine cards.
A larger dwelling was immediately erected upon the old site, the
family, meanwhile, making the new barn their temporary home.
This house, with some altei'ations and additions, is still standing.
Its framework is a model for strength and durability, and with simi-
lar usage will outlast most of the wooden dwelling-houses erected at
the present day.
As a combination of circumstances led the subject of this notice
into a work of no inconsiderable importance in the introduction of
manufactures into the United States, it is proper that some account
of that work should be inserted here.
From Washburn's History of Leicester, published in 1826, we
make the following extract : —
" Pliny Earle is the great-grandson of Ralph Earle, one of the first
settlers of the town, and possesses much of the mechanical ingenuity,
in addition to a great fund of general knowledge, which has seemed
to characterize those of that name in this town."
"The manufacture of cotton and wool hand-cards * * * was
commenced [in Leicester] about the year 1785, by Mr. Edmund
Snow ; and amongst those most early engaged in its prosecution was
Mr. Pliny Earle. (He began it in 1786.) About the year 1790,
Mr. Samuel Slater, the venerable originator of cotton factories in the
United States, * * having in vain endeavored to procure suitable
cards for his machinery in the principal cities of the Union, applied
to Mr. Earle. Machine cards had, till then, been made in the
manner called by manufacturers ' plain.' A part of the cards used on
a machine is called ' filleting,' and this part it was desirable to have
made what is termed ' twilled.' For this purpose, Mr. Earle was
obliged to prick the whole of the filleting with two needles, inserted
into a handle, in the manner of an awl. This process was extremely
tedious, but Mr. Earle at length completed his undertaking, and
furnished to Mr. Slater the cards by which the first cotton was
wrought that was spun by machinery in America. The difliculty
I06 THE EARLE FAMILY [Sixth
with which he accomplished this engagement, led his attention to the
invention of a machine with which to prick the leather for cards ;
and about the year 1797 he accomplished the desired object by
inventing the machine now in general use for the manufacture
(pricking) of ' twilled ' cards."
The principles involved in that machine, the patent for which was
not issued until December 6, 1803, formed the basis of all machines
for pricking twilled cards for many years, and until those machines
were superseded by that remarkable example of human ingenuity,
the machine for pricking the leather and cutting and setting the
teeth at one process, which is now in general use.
It has hitherto been generally believed, by all persons interested in
the subject, that the first experience of Pliny Earle in the manu-
facture of machine cards was in making those which were ordered
by Samuel Slater. This is a mistake. He had made machine card
clothing of the only style then known in America, that is, with
the teeth set in what is technically called the " plain" form, — and
had covered machines with it, before the arrival of Samuel Slater in
the United States.
Slater landed in New York November 11, 1789. One week prior
to this, on the fourth of the same month, Almy & Brown, of Provi-
dence, R. I., with whom Slater was afterwards associated, wrote to
Pliny Earle desiring that he should cover a carding machine for
them, and mentioning a similar work which he had previously done
for a company in Worcester. For a verbatim copy of this letter see
Appendix.
The business firm, Pliny Earle & Brothers, which consisted of the
eldest three brothers, Pliny, Jonah and Silas Earle, was formed in
1 791, and their business soon became one of the most extensive of
its kind in the United States. In the manufacture of machine card
clothing it was probably unequalled. Prior to the year 1800, they
sent an agent to South Carolina, there to conduct the sale of hand-
cards for cotton, which were largely used upon the plantations of the
southern States. Some of these cards were transported by horse-
teams which took them at the factory and delivered them in Charles-
ton.
In 1803 they extended their business by adding to it the building
of machines for carding both cotton and wool. In 1804 upon some
stream in each of several towns in Worcester County and on one in
Gen.] genealogy. IO7
Rhode Island, they placed wool-carding machines for the accommo-
dation of the farmers in the neighborhood, whose home-raised wool
had previously been mostly cai^ded by hand in the family. The fol-
lowing handbill was issued by them at this time : —
Elegant Machinery for Card-
ing Wool by Water,
By the united efforts of the besi Eiiglish and Arnerican Artisans,
PLINY EARLE, & BROTHERS,
in AVE erected Wool Carding Machines, which are
allowed by the best judges, to exceed any thing of the
kind in America. They have placed one set at David
Wadsworth's Waterworks, a little South of the Meet-
inghouse, in Grafton; one set at the Mills of Eleazar
Ball, in Rutland; one set at Western;* one Machine
at Luke Jillson's Mills in Czimberlattd, state o^ Rhode-
Island. The above Machines are on the most improved,
and best approved construction. They are all in actual
operation, and are performing work in the neatest and
best manner, and are under the inspection and genei^al
direction of an English Manufacturer, who has had more
than thirty years experience ; they therefore flatter them-
selves that they shall give genei"al satisfaction to those
who favor them with wool to card.
Leicester, 8th Mo. 28, 1804.
With Paul Whitin and others they were joint owners of the cotton
factory in Northbridge, Mass., which was the nucleus from which
have sprung Whitinsville and all its accessories.
The business of the firm flourished during the war with England.
The prices of cards were greatly enhanced and yielded a large profit.
But the cost of the raw material was likewise much greater than
*Now (1887) Warren.
I08 THE EARLE FAMILY [Sixth
before. For machine card wire they were obliged at one time to
pay from two to two and a half dollars per pound. The market
price of a much better article is now from twelve to fifteen cents per
pound.
In 1S15, the unexpected declaration of peace found the company
with a very lai'ge stock of raw material on hand. Prices immediately
fell enormously, and the demand for cards almost entirely ceased,
so that this stock, when manufactured, paid but little more than
the interest upon its cost, from the time of purchase to the time of
sale. The company consequently became embarrassed, financially,
and was soon afterwards practically dissolved, although there was
no formal announcement of its dissolution.
Pliny Earle retained the business, and continued in it until his
decease in 1832, his son William B. Earle being his principal agent
and manager from and after 1819. In 1824 his cutting-machines
were run by steam, and in 1827 the machinery was removed to
" New Boston," in the northwest part of Rutland, where it was run
by water-power.
He engaged, largely for the time, in the wool-growing business
which attracted much practical attention during the first quarter of
this century, and was promoted by the first considerable importation
of merino sheep. He once sold a ram lamb, six months old, for a
yoke of oxen and one hundred dollars ; and in 1820 his flock of
sheep numbered over two hundred.
He also attempted the cultivation of silk. About the time of his
marriage he raised mulberry trees, between sixty and seventy of
which were standing upon the farm at the time of his death. From
these, in 1S27, the homestead derived the name "Mulberry Grove";
and hence, also, the name (Mulberry street) of the road which
traverses the farm from north to south. In one or two of the earliest
years of the century he made a quantity of silk, but it did not pay the
cost of culture.
His orchard of fruit was by far the most extensive in the town at
that time. Of grafted apples, both winter and summer, he had a
good variety ; of pears and cherries an abundance, and of several
varieties ; and of peaches, at one time, from 1800 to iSio, a very
prolific orchard ; and these were supplemented by plums, apricots
and nectarines.
In religious belief he lived and died a conscientious and consistent
Gen.] genealogy. IO9
Quaker, free from bigotry, and without unchristian prejudice against
any man because of his association with some other denomination.
He took but little part in the church business of the Society, but his
house was ever open to its members, and he took pleasure in seeing
it filled to the extent of its accommodations at the time of the
" monthly" and " quarterly meetings."
In politics he was a federalist, among the staunchest of the staunch,
but he rarely attended political gatherings ; and in the town-meetings
he used his right of franchise by casting his vote, but always refused
to accept a public office.
In the second edition (i860) of his history, Gov. Washburn says,
in allusion to him : " He was a man of much intelligence. His wife
was a woman of strong and cultivated intellect, and their house was
the seat of a generous hospitality."
The children of Pliny and Patience (Buffum) Earle were :
868-1. John Milton Earle, b. April 13, 1794 ; m. Sarah Hussey.
869-2. Thomas Earle, b. April 21, 1796 ; m. Mary Hussey.

On the 15th of May, 1827, Sarah Earle [871-4], who had much
native energy of character, and who for some years had been a
teacher in the Friends' School at Providence, R. I., opened a board-
ing school for young women at her father's homestead. It met with
unexpected success, and in a very short time the Mulberry Grove
Boarding School had become widely known, and had established a
reputation for its very thorough instruction in the useful branches of
education, and for the excellence of its pupils as scholars in the Eng-
lish language. French was the only language other than English,
and painting by theorems, in water-colors, the only then so-called
"ornamental" branch that found a place in the curriculum of
instruction.
Pupils came from nearly all parts of Massachusetts, as well as from
several of the neighboring States, and before 183 1, when the Princi-
no THE EARLE FAMILY [Sixth
pal married Charles Hadwen, then of Providence, R. I., and left her
sister Eliza as her successor, the number was limited only by the
extent of accommodations. The school was continued with unabated
success until 1839, when it was closed and its Principal removed to
Philadelphia, Pa.
Sarah Earle was an active and prominent member of the "Leices-
ter Female Literary Society," an association which existed during
nearly the whole of tlie first quarter of the present century, and
included several young ladies of superior intellectual powers. A
specimen of her contributions to the literary work of the society may
be seen in the Appendix.
William B. Earle [873-5], as has been mentioned, was the
immediate manager of his father's card business during the last
twelve or thirteen years of the life of the latter. He afterwards con-
tinued the business, in his father's name, until the decease of his
mother, in 1849. Inheriting his father's mechanical ingenuity he
perceived, at an early period, that improvements might be made in
the Whittemore machine for pricking and setting cards ; and soon
after the patent expired, and even before his father's death, he
engaged in the manufacture of them. He completed his first one in
1829 ; his second, with further improvements, in 1832 ; and in 1837
he placed one in the exhibition of the Massachusetts Charitable
Association in Boston, for which a silver medal was awarded to him.
In subsequent years he built a considerable number of them, "with
still later improvements and modifications." This business also was
suspended in 1849. Most of his machines went into the manufactory
of T. K. Earle & Co., who, in i860, gave their maker the following
testimonial : —
"Worcester, 5"' Mo., 18, i860.
William B. Earle : * * * * * The twenty years of your
life that have been devoted to the development of the Card Setting
Machine, have done more to bring it to perfection than the labors of
all others, and you should now be reaping the reward of your works,
that have done so much to advance the manufacturing interests of the
country.
Truly yours,
T. K. EARLE & CO."
In 1 886, according to an article in the Massachusetts Spy^ " a
large number" of the machines were still in use. " They are pro-
nounced," continues that article, " equal to any in the world, an,d by
Gen.] genealogy. Ill
many competent judges from past experience and knowledge are
considered tlie best yet used."
The card pricking and setting machine and the machine for making
lace, have been declared to be the two greatest triumphs of human
ingenuity. A gentleman, seeing, for the first time, one of the card
machines in operation, watched, in silent admiration, its marvellous
movements, and at length exclaimed, " Why ! it thinks ! " And it is
said that when the question of the extension of the Whittemore
patent was before Congress, John Randolph, of Roanoke, advocated
that extension in his own vigorous language. "Yes, I would renew
it to all eternity, for it is the only machine which ever had a soul."
As an " expert" in that machine, William B. Earle, while he may
have had equals, has had no superior. He still lives at the age of 84
years, during the last thirty of which he has been blind as a conse-
quence of a severe ophthalmia.
His history furnishes a somewhat rare example of physical courage
and endurance of pain. At the age of 14 years an abscess — the so-
called "fever-sore" — formed in his left arm, and troubled him about
thirty years. The use of the arm was permanently impaired. The
bone became involved in the disease, was partially destroyed, and at
length replaced by a new one, the remnant of the old one still
remaining as a source of irritation. He consulted a surgeon in
regard to an operation for its removal, but the advice which he
received conflicted with the interests of his business, and was not
followed. One day at his factory, when the arm was unusually
troublesome, he put a keen edge upon his large pocket knife, called
together his workmen to be witnesses of his surgical skill, sat coolly
down, plunged the knife to the bone a little below the shoulder, laid
the bone bare by a cut nearly six inches long, and took out the old
bone, the largest piece of which was nearly four inches in length.
The arm was then dressed, healed favorably and soon, without taking
him even for a day from his business, and has never since troubled
him, except by the limited power of motion which had become
established before the operation.
Pliny Earle, Jr. [S75-8], received his last literary education in
1827, at the Friends' School in Providence, R. I., where he served
as an assistant teacher during the winter of 1828-29. Early in 1S31
he was again appointed to that position, where he passed through
the several grades of assistant, and in 1835 was promoted to the
oflice of Principal.
112 THE EARLE FAMILY [SiXTH
He had already begun the study of medicine, under the direction
of Dr. Usher Parsons, of Providence, wlio was one of the surgeons
of the American fleet at the battle of Lake Erie, and, in pursuance
of his professional object, he resigned his office at the school in
October of the year last mentioned and entered the medical depart-
ment of the University of Pennsylvania. He w^as graduated M. D.
in the spring of 1837, ^^^ immediately went to Europe where he
remained two years — one in the medical school and the hospitals of
Paris, and the other in a tour of both professional and general
observation, in which he visited various institutions for the insane
from England to Turkey.
Upon his return, in 1S39, he opened an ofiice in Philadelphia;
published a pamphlet entitled "A Visit to Thirteen Asylums for the
Insane in Europe," and, in the spring of 1840, was elected resident
physician of the Friends' Asylum for the Insane, near Frankford,
now a part of the aforesaid city. In 1844, he was appointed medical
superintendent of the Bloomingdale Asylum for the Insane, in the
city of New York. In 1849, he again went to Europe, and visited
thirty-four institutions for the insane, in England, Belgium, France
and Germany. From material then collected, he afterwards pub-
lished a book with the title, "Institutions for the Insane in Prussia,
Austria and Germany." In 1853, he was elected as one of the visit-
ing physicians of the New York City Lunatic Asylum, on Black-
well's Island. Two years afterwards, his health having become
unstable, he withdrew from professional practice and passed some
years in his native town at the old homestead of his grandfather. In
the winter of 1S62-63, and again in that of 1863-64, he assisted in
the care of the insane soldiers of the army and the navy at the Gov-
ernment Hospital for the Insane, near Washington, D. C, an institu-
tion then under the superintendence of his friend and former pupil,
Dr. Charles H. Nichols.
On the 3d of July, 1864, the Trustees of the State Lunatic Hospi-
tal at Northampton, Mass., appointed him to the office of Superin-
tendent of that institution, a position which he held until October i,
iSSt^, a period of twenty-two years and three months. Upon his
resignation the Trustees of the Hospital passed a series of resolutions,
the last of which is as follows : —
'•'•Resolved^ That the Trustees indulge the hope that Dr. Earle will
continue to make his home in this institution, that they may continue
Gen.] genealogy. II3
to profit by his counsels ; and they will provide that his rooms shall
always be open and ready for his use."
Hitherto, consequently, the hospital has been his home, but he has
passed the summer months in the neighborhood of his boyhood, in
Leicester.
In 1 87 1 he went a third time to Europe, and visited forty-six
hospitals and asylums for the insane in Ireland, Austria, Italy and
the intervening countries. More than one hundred and forty institu-
tions of that kind, in America and Europe, have come under his
personal observation.
In the winter of 1840-41, while at the Frankford asylum, he
delivered before the patients a course of lectures on natural philoso-
phy, illustrated by experiments in pneumatics and electricity. This
was the first known attempt to address an audience of the insane in
any discourse other than a sermon, and has led to that system of
entertainments for the patients now considered indispensable in a
first class hospital. In the official year 1866-67, ^^ ^^^^ Northampton
Hospital, to assemblies including an average of over two hundred
and fifty of the patients, he gave a series of six lectures on diseases
of the brain accompanied by mental derangement, — the first and
apparently only time that such an audience ever listened to discourses
upon their own malady. In this instance they were favorably
received, and they would have been repeated in subsequent years,
had the want of the necessary leisure from other duties not prevented.
He has published many articles upon insanity and other subjects,
most of them in the "Journal of Insanity," and the "American
Journal of the Medical Sciences," and some of them have been issued
in book or pamphlet form. His paper on "The Inability to Distin-
guish Colors " was printed many years prior to the publication of the
valuable work on that subject by Dr. B. Joy Jeffries. His last book,
jiublished by the Lippincott Company, of Philadelphia, and entitled
" The Curability of Insanity," was mostly taken from his annual
reports of the hosj^ital at Northampton, of which he wrote twenty-
two. A reviewer of it says : " This book may mark an epoch- in the
literature of insanity ; since it has changed the whole front of that
literature, and set in motion investigating forces which will carry out
its main doctrine into many useful details, upon which the veteran
author has not dwelt."

114 "^^^ EARLE FAMILY [SiXTH
He was one of the original members and founders of the American
Medical Association, the Association of Medical Superintendents of
American Institutions for the Insane, the New York Academy of
Medicine, and the New England Psychological Society. He was
the first president of the association last mentioned, and president of
the Association of Superintendents in 1884-85. He is a member of
various other societies.
In 1863 he was appointed Professor of Materia Medica and
Psychology in the Berkshire Medical Institute, at Pittsfield, Mass.,
but, after delivering one course of lectures, resigned the office in
consequence of his appointment to the Northampton hospital.
He was one of the medical experts summoned to the trial of
Charles J. Guiteau, for the murder of President Garfield. After an
attendance of one week his health gave way and he was obliged to
leave ; but he approved, and still approves, the verdict which held
the prisoner responsible for the homicide.

He learned the trade of cabinet-maker, and about 17S9 went to
New York city to find employment. While there he had the small-
pox, having been inoculated for it. When his brother Pliny engaged
to make the card clothing for Samuel Slater, he returned, joined him
in the work, and thenceforward was one of the firm of Pliny Earle
& Brothers during its whole existence. His mechanical ingenuity
and skill were not inferior to those of his brother Pliny, and when,
in i8o3, the manufacture of carding-machines was added to the origi-
nal business, he took charge of that department.
He owned, lived and died upon the farm which had belonged to
Nathaniel Potter, one of the earliest settlers of Leicester. It is now
the site of Mannville, and his dwelling-house, remodelled, is the
boarding-house of that village, and stands in the northeast corner of
Earle and Mannville sti'eets. The factory in which the carding-
machines were made was on the south side of the road, ten or fifteen
rods southeast of his residence. It has been converted into a dwell-
ing-house.

He was a member of the Society of Friends, remarkably quiet and
unobtrusive in his manners ; intelligent and of sound judgment, and,
as Gov. Washburn says, "a man of great integrity and benevolence."
He was a member of the Board of Selectmen from 1815 to 1818,
inclusive.

He was one of the original inembers of the firm of Pliny Earle &
Brothers, but withdrew from it many yeai^s before it was dissolved,
and, establishing himself in the same business, prosecuted it exten-
sively and successfully until his decease. During the last twelve or
fifteen years of his life his card-setting machines were run by horse-
power. Soon after his death, his son Timothy sold all the machinery
of the establishment to his cousin Timothy K. Earle and Reuben
Randall, who pursued the business a very short time, under the firm
name of T. K. Earle & Co., when Timothy Eaide repurchased the
interest of Randall. The firm was changed to Timothy Earle & Co.
and so continued for a brief period, until Timothy Earle sold his
interest to Edward Earle, the half-brother of Timothy K. The
former name, T. K. Earle & Co., was then i^esumed, and was con-
tinued until iSSo, when the establishment became the property of a
joint stock company under the title of " The T. K. Earle Manufac-
turing Company." After Edward Earle bought Timothy Earle's
Il6 THE EARLE FAMILY [Sixth
interest, the business was continued for a short period in the Silas
Earle factory at Leicester, and then removed to Worcester.
Silas Earle's homestead was the farm on Marshall street, in
Leicester, next east of the Town farm. It is now the property of
Thomas Southwick. The dwelling-house was built by Silas Earle,
in 1806.
He was a prominent and active member of the Society of Friends.
He was for many years a director in the Leicester Bank, and for
several years its president. In the year 1835 he represented the
town in the lower house of the State Legislature.
In the language of Washburn's History of Leicester, he "was
highly esteemed and respected in the town."

Robert Earle [887-6] , having completed his school education at
Leicester Academy, at the age of about eighteen years, immediately
began to take an active part in the management of his father's
business. His natural predilections and his taste w^ere in the direc-
tion of mercantile rather than literary pursuits, and his energy of
character and promptness and vigor of action gave early promise of
ultimate success. He soon took charge of the out-of-doors part of
the business, or that vs^hich required travel, while his father, giving
him instructions therein, remained chiefly at home conducting the
practical processes of the factory.
In this way Robert was not long in making the acquaintance of
merchants in the larger cities, particularly New York and Phila-
c^jlphia, and through them, extending his knowledge and enlarging
his ideas of trade, as it was at that time developing in the rapidly
expanding States.
J^ot long after the attainment of his majority, having resolved
not to pursue the manufacture in which his father was successfully
engaged, he went to Worcester and opened a store for the wholesale
and retail trade in flour, at the depot of the Blackstone Canal on
Central street. A good business was soon established, and, expand-
ing from year to year, at length became so extensive that he removed
it t Boston where were greater facilities for its prosecution. He
tra-\ ;lled, from time to time, through the Western States, establishing
an .icquaintance and a trade with the flour manufacturers, in that
com jaratively early period of the business which has since grown to
sue) immense proportions, and become one of the leading interests of
the -ountry. His business, like that of nearly every individual
eng ed in any one of the many departments of manufacture, trade
anil commerce, had its fluctuations, but, upon the whole, was a
successful pecuniary enterprise ; and at an early period in life, he
had acquired what was regarded as a competence. He was not
ambitious for what is now called a very large estate ; and he had the
wisdom to manage his acquisitions with safety, rather than to attempt
any of those extensive and hazardous enterprises which are liable to
terminate in financial ruin to him who has the hardihood to under-
take them.
Il8 THE EARLE FAMILY [SiXTH
After his removal from Boston, he was at one period associated
with his brother-in-law, William A. Brown, in the wholesale flour
trade in New York City ; but then and ever after he regarded the
accumulation of wealth, beyond a reasonable competence, as of
secondary importance to the preservation of health, and to that com-
parative leisure which permits the gratification of one's tastes, and
the enlargement of one's knowledge of men and manners in various
parts of the world. At two different times, accompanied by his
wife, he passed some years in Europe, once extending his journey
as far eastward as St. Petersburg, Cairo and Jerusalem.
He resided, at different periods of his life, in Brooklyn, N. Y. ;
in Philadelphia, Pa. ; in the interior of Northeastern Pennsylvania ;
and at a pleasant country-seat overlooking the Hudson river not far
from West Point, N. Y. ; but during the last twenty or twenty-five
years his home was in the northern suburbs of the city of New Bed-
ford, Mass. Here he died, and here his widow still lives.

4 ch. ; d. Nov. 8, 1837, in Leicester, Mass. His widow
resided for some years before her decease in Worcester,
Mass.
Like all of his brothers, Henry was engaged for some years in the
card making business, but he was not a member of the firm of Pliny
Earle & Brothers, nor did he manufacture any machine card clothing.
He owned a farm on Marshall street, about half a mile east of that
of his brother Silas, and built upon it, about 1808, a dwelling-house
of nearly the same size and internal architecture as that of the said
brother. Being unsuccessful in his business this homestead passed
out of his hands soon after the war of 181 2-15, and not far from 1850,
one-half of the house was taken down and removed to Worcester.
The homestead now belongs to the estate of the late Elizabeth South-
wick. After Henry's marriage with the widow of his younger
brother, Timothy, he lived with her upon the homestead estate left
by her first husband. He belonged to the Friends' religious society,
and sometimes "appeared in the ministry."

Peru, now Au Sable, N. Y. ; d. March 23, 1819, in
Leicester. His widow m. his brother Henry [360-6J.
Timothy Earle, the youngest of the five brothers, assumed the
support, during life, of his father and mother, in consideration of the
homestead — now called Earle Ridge — upon which they lived ; and
this was his residence during his comparatively short but active life.
He died of an acute brain disease, at the age of forty-one vears.
Early in life he established a manufactory of cotton and wool hand-
cards. With less mechanical ingenuity than some of his brothers,
he had great enterprise and business talent. With these elements of
success, and a cautious avoidance of too large purchases of raw
material dui'ing the high prices of the war of 181 2, he amassed a
respectable fortune for the time and place in which he lived. As
mentioned on a foregoing page, he erected in 1815, a grist-mill and
saw-mill, directly south of the Friends' cemetery, and at a distance
from it of forty or fifty rods. The mill was taken down in 1865.
Beside his homestead, he owned, at the time of his decease, the
farm next south, upon which was the residence of his great-grand-
father Ralph, and the one at the head of the Lynde reservoir. He
had nearly completed a large, new residence, which was soon after-
ward occupied by his widow. More than half of this house has been
removed, and the part now remaining is owned and occupied by
Frank C. Bauer.
Timothy retained his membership of the Society of Friends until
his decease.
The children of Timothy and Ruth (Keese) Earle were :

128 THE EARLE FAMILY [SiXTH
He went to Brattleboro in 1787 and was one of the early settlers of
the west part of the town. He bought the farm owned in 1SS6 by
Mellen Goodenough, and lived there in an old log house until i793?
when he built the frame house which is occupied by the present
owner. He was a very hard-working man. In the latter years of
his life he partially lost the use of his limbs so that he walked with a
long staff', but so anxious was he to work that he had leather fastened
to his pantaloons so that he could weed the garden working on his
knees. He lived and died upon the farm where he settled, and
where his son Samuel afterward lived.

John Howard lived for a few years at Pittstown, N. Y., and then
six or more at Addison, Vt., as a farmer ; went to Burlington in
1812, and established the Howard Hotel which he kept for the next
thirty-five years of his life. No man was more prompt, or would go
farther, to do a kindly act to a neighbor or any person in distress
than " Uncle John" as he was familiarly and affectionately called by
the many who knew his good qualities. His wife was a very
estimable lady, and lived to the age of 93 years, retaining to a
remarkable degree her faculties of mind and body. She died in
1865, in Burlington, bearing to her grave the love and esteem of all
who knew her. — \_C/uld's Chittenden Co. Directory.

The following obituary notice of John Purple Howard [1062-5],
is taken from tlie BitrltJigton Free Press of Oct. 13, 18S5 •
" Our community will share tlie sorrow with which we chronicle
the death of Mr. John P. Howard, which took place on Saturday
last in England. It was announced to his relatives in tliis city, yes-
terday, by a despatch cabled from London. * * * He was born
in Burlington and spent his boyhood here. At an early age he
accompanied his brother Daniel to Troy, N. Y., and afterwards to
New York city, where the brothers established first tlie old Exchange
Hotel in Broad street ; tlien the Howard Hotel on the corner of
Broadway and Maiden Lane, which still bears the name of tire How-
ard House, and then the Living House. Retiring from the hotel
business with a handsome fortune, Mr. Howard devoted himself
thenceforward for a number of years to the care of his property and
to seeking health, information and pleasure in travel throughout his
own and many foreign countries. He was a quick and keen observer,
liad a retentive memory, and acquired a fund of information of men
and things, which made liim an exceedingly interesting companion.
Some six or seven years ago, while on liis way from London to Paris,
lie had an apoplectic attack, under whicli he nearly sank at the time.
Under able medical treatment and the attentive care of his niece,
Mrs. Evans of Paris, he slowly rallied ; but never fully recovered.
Returning to this countr}^ he spent a good deal of his time in this
city, in New York, and of late at Englewood, N. J., with frequent
trips to the seaside, to the Pacific coast, and to Europe, as the condi-
tion of his health rec|uired. He returned to this city from the coast
of Maine, about the first of September, a year ago, making his last
visit here during the vState fair of 18S4. Going thence to Englewood
he had an ill turn which alarmed him, and by the advice of his
J<*

Gen.] genealogy. 1 33
physician, who recommended a sea voyage, he suddenly decided to
go to Europe. He sailed from Boston in September, and spent the
winter in Nice. There he had an attack of diphtheria, which
threatened to prove fatal. He recovered, however, sufficiently to go
to England, where he spent the summer at Folkstone, the Isle of
Wight and Bath. He improved somewhat in health, and hoped to
return home during this month ; but remained feeble ; and those best
informed of his condition entertained grave doubts of his being able
to cross the water again.
Some years ago Mr. Howard made evident his determination to
be in part his own executor, by disposing of a portion of his ample
fortune in public beneficences, and to make his native place his chief
beneficiary. Since then he has given in public gifts over $260,000
for educational, charitable and religious purposes in Burlington.
Prominent among these are the gift of $50,000 in money to the
'University, the rebuilding of the main University building and new
Medical college, at a cost of $65,000, and the statue of Lafayette and
fountain in the college park — these gifts to the University aggregating
about $133,000; the Howard Opera house and block costing
$100,000 given to the Home for Destitue Children ; and the new
chapel and rectory of St. Paul's church, costing $20,000. Adding
minor gifts (such as the City park fountain, the gateways to Lake
View cemetery and Howard park) and charities Mr. Howard's bene-
ficences in Burlington in the last ten years must exceed $275,000.
He gave frequently and generously also, in private charities. He
took great pleasure in all these gifts, and he had in contemplation
others, as that of a new gymnasium for the University and a fund for
a diocesan school for girls, for which it is not unlikely that he may
have made provision by will. He probably leaves an estate of not
less than a million dollars. His surviving relations are his elder
sister. Miss Louisa Howard, his younger sister, Mrs. A. C. Spear,
and his nieces, Mrs. Julia Spear and Mrs. Theodore Evans. He
never maiTied. * * * *
As the citizens of Burlington will doubtless take a suitable occa-
sion to do honor to the memory of our city's most generous benefac-
tor, we need not add to this hasty sketch, any words of praise. His
good deeds praise him. His name is on every lip with expressions
of gratitude and honor ; — and he will long be held in grateful mem-
ory by the people- of Burlington and of Vermont."
His remains were interred, with appropriate ceremonies, in the
Lake View cemetery, at Burlington.

Union College, Schenectady, in 1845. He studied law under his

of Appeals, the highest court of the State ; and by appointment and
i-e-election has been retained in that position to the present time,
while his current term of service will not expire until January i,
1 89 1. He has already served a longer period than any other judge

1 66 THE EARLE FAMILY [Seventh
A friend, writing in regard to Mrs. Sargent, says, "My recollec-
tions of her are those of a character full of perseverance, hope and
affection, always looking on the bright side and charitable towards
all."

of John R. and Rebecca (Maxwell) Wheaton, of War-
ren, R. I. ; issue, 4 ch. ; and lives in Chicago, 111.
Homer Earle Sargent [1467-3] passed his minority on the
paternal homestead in Leicester, assisting upon the farm and acquir-
ing his education in the district school and the academy. Upon the
attainment of his majority, guided by a predilection for employment
in the railroad interest, he took in 1843, the position of clerk to the
agent at the State Line station, on the Western — now Boston &
Alban}^ — road. As a point from which to estimate the marvellous
rapidity of development of intercommunication and traffic, between
the Atlantic coast and the Western States, he relates that, during
four months of the winter of 1843-44, ^^ Hudson river being closed,
all the travel and the transportation of merchandise from New York
to the West was by the way of Bridgeport and the State Line station ;
and that it was all pei-formed by one passenger train and one freight
train daily !
In April, 1844, he returned to his father's farm, but in 1845
entered the employ of the Boston & Worcester Railroad, and was
with that company thirteen years ; first as station agent at Millbury,
then in the same capacity at Worcester, and lastly, for six years, as
general freight agent at Boston. While in the position last men-
tioned he formulated and put in practice the first through tariff'
sheet for the transportation of merchandise between Boston and the
Mississippi river. The preparation of this requii'ed of him a Journey
to the West, and a personal conference with the president, the
superintendent or the general manager of each railroad forming a
pu ;

part of the route. The tarift' amounted to two dollars and forty-five
cents for one hundred pounds, from Boston to St. Louis. The
through bill-of-lading system now in general use is but the develop-
ment of this original arrangement.
In 1S58 he was called into the employ of the Michigan Central
Railroad Company where he remained sixteen years, — the first half
of the period as general freight agent and general agent at Chicago,
and the last half as general superintendent and general manager.
During this period he became one of the incorporators, and for
several years a director of the Pullman Palace Car Company ; and
was largely instrumental in securing the first Pullman sleeping-car
service eastward, from Chicago to Rochester, New York.
"The friends of Mr. Sargent," says the History of Chicago,
"count among the many prominent efforts of his life none greater
than the organization of the Union Stock Yards of this city, the suc-
cess of which was mainly due to his initial labor." It appears that
he first indicated the most suitable place for the yards. He was
chairman of the committee which purchased the land — 320 acres for
$100,000 — "it is now worth a score of millions" — a director of The
Union Stock Yards and Transit Company, and a "prime mover in
the management of the Stock Yards until a few years ago, when he
gave way to younger men."
"After leaving the Michigan Central Mr. Sargent was offered the
general management of the Northern Pacific Railroad, in 1877. ^^
at first declined, but, later in the year, was prevailed upon to accept
the position, which he held until 1881, when he tendered his resigna-
tion."
The Fargo and Southern Railroad, between Fargo, Dakota, and
Ortonville, Minnesota, a distance of 120 miles, had been begun, but
only thirty-five miles of it graded, when, in 1883, he became inter-
ested in the company and was elected as its pi'esident. He prose-
cuted the work with such energy that in less than ten months the
entire line was finished and ready for operation. This road has
been of great benefit to Fargo. 7^/ie Arg'ns, a newspaper of that
city, says: "The people of North Dakota know Mr. Sargent well.
The people of Fargo have a right to claim him one of her greatest
benefactors. * * * The Fargo & Southern owes its great success
to his taking hold and engineering its financial operations and secur-
ing its completion."
In February, 1861, he was appointed a trustee of Farwell Hall, in
Chicago ; in April of the same year, a member of the first war
1 68 THE EARLE FAMILY [Seventh
finance committee of that city; in 1S64, a director in the Fourth
National Bank; in 1S65, a director of the Provident Life Insurance
and Investment Company; in 1S71, a trustee of the Cliicago Relief
and Aid Society; in 1S79, a trustee of St. Luke's Free Hospital;
and in 1S85, president of the Board of Trustees of the Young Men's
Christian Association.
He has now v^'ithdravs^n from the presidency of the Fargo &
Southern Railroad, and holds no office limiting his command of his
time. Aside from large interests in Chicago, he has a wheat farm
of 2,400 acres, far west of the Mississippi, upon which the harvesters
are now — September 9, 1SS7 — threshing the wheat at the rate of two
thousand bushels per day. He resides, in winter, in Chicago, and
in summer in Detroit, Minnesota.

The following obituary notice is taken from the Worcester Palla-
dhim of April 30, 1S56 :
"In this paper is announced the death of an old and respectable
citizen of Worcester, Capt. John Earle. He was the first person in
town who manufactured machinery. It was near the commencement
of the present century that he commenced the manufacture of ma-
chines for carding wool, at the village of New Worcester. Fi'om
there he moved to a shop that stood upon Mill Brook, where the
Court Mills now stand, and there formed a copartnership with a Mr.
Williams. In 1815 their works were destroyed by fire and, as insur-
ance was far from common at that day, Mr. Earle found himself sud-
denly deprived of all his property. The relation of debtor and credi-
tor was far different then from what it now is, and Mr. Earle was
unable to resume the business on his own account. But for many
years he was connected with the manufacture of machinery, and
aided largely in the prosecution of what has now become the leading
business of the city. He was an upright man and a good citizen."
The children of John and Lydia (Harrington) Earle were :
1575-1. Henry Earle, b. June 8, iSoi ; jn. Lucinda B. Pearce.

knowledge of the honorable occupation he had chosen as the business
of his life. Unlike too many of his age, who seem to look with con-
tempt on the vocation of their fathers, and seek the follies, if not the
vices, of city life, he loved his rural home and friends, and the world-
blessing occupation in which he had been bred. He was modest,
amiable, upright and unpretending in his every-day deportment,
which endeared him to all his acquaintances. The death of such a
young man is a great loss to the community at large, as well as to

The following extract is from an obituary of him published in a
local newspaper :
"When nine years old he received injuries to his hip by falling
across a log, causing a lameness that lasted him through life. He
was appointed sexton in 1835, and served in that capacity over forty-
three years, during which time he interred 1,134 persons and attended
all funerals requiring the use of the hearse. His business was that
of a stone-layer, and in his workmanship he was excelled by no per-
son about here, and his strength of endurance at times was wonder-
ful. At the marriage of Mr. Earle thirty persons were present and
chairs being scarce rough boards were substituted. After the cere-
mony was performed refreshments were served and the genuine old-
fashioned New England 'toddy' was made in a large white mug and
passed around in a quart tumbler from which all took a generous,
but temperate sip. Rev. Aaron Leland officiated at the wedding,
and as a fee received two dollars, one of which he presented to the
bride. The sixtieth anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Earle's marriage
was commemorated January 33, 1878, and in the following spring
occurred the death of Mrs. Earle.

" He developed in early years a taste for the study of medicine.
Opposed by his parents and friends the desire grew stronger, and by
dint of hard work, perseverance and ' pluck,' he struggled on until,
in 1863, he graduated at the College of Physicians and Surgeons in
New York City. Eclecticism impressed him as being the nearest
right of the several schools of medicine, and he became an ardent
follower in that line of practice. Beginning in his native village, he
has by steady application gained a practice seldom possessed by the
country doctor. Robust, active and keen, he has made his life a
financial success. Aside from his profession he is the owner of a
farm of 300 acres, upon which he displays his love for the soil by
keeping the whole vinder a fine state of cultivation. At fifty years of
age he is in the prime of life, and is looking forward to many years
of activity."

at Hermon :
"The death of Otis Earle, Esq., took place at his residence in this
village at an early hour Monday morning, Feb. 5th. His disease was
pneumonia, brought on, in part, it is believed, by his over-exertion
at the burning of Mr. Van Atter's house, a week before his death.
He passed away calmly and peacefully.
His funeral was attended on Wednesday, by Rev. Dr. J. S. Lee,
of Canton, assisted by Rev. J. H. McCullough, of this village. It is
estimated that nearly a thousand persons were present during the
services, though many could not get into the chvuxh, which was
crowded to its utmost capacity. The Freemasons, accompanied by
the band, whose instruments were draped in mourning, wei^e present
from Canton, Russell, Edwards, Richville, Gouverneur and Hermon,
175 in number, and they conducted the solemn and impressive service
of the Order at the grave, through their representatives, Rev. Mr.
McCullough and Hon. D. S. Lynde.
Mr. Earle was a resident of this village fifteen years, having pre-
viously done business in partnership with J. B. Pickett, Esq., in

Of his wife an obituary notice says : " Aside from her own family
circle, no one has cause to mourn moi'e deeply than the slave, for
whose interests her labors were untiring."
The following sketch is mostly taken from obituary notices pub-
lished soon after his decease :
John Milton Earle was educated in a common school and at
Leicester Academy. He assisted in his father's business, and at one
period was clerk in the store of the Northbridge cotton mill at
Whitinsville, of which Paul Whitin, Pliny Earle & Brothers and
others were proprietors. In i8i6 he went to Worcester, where, with
206 THE EARLE FAMILY [Seventh
his future brother-in-law, Anthony Chase, and under the firm name of
Earle & Chase, he opened a store on the northern corner of Main and
Thomas streets. Their place of business was afterward removed
farther south on Main street, and in 1833 they purchased the Massa-
chusetts Spy., to the columns of which John M. had previously been
a contributor. For thirty-five years afterward, until 1858, he was its
principal manager and editor, and during fifteen years of that time
its sole proprietor. It was in the course of this period that the Daily
Spy was established, the first number having been issued July 22,
1845.
His best years were given to editorial work, and in that work he
doubtless had greater influence than many men whose names were
more widely known. He was a careful and accurate writer, both as
to style and manner, invariably courteous and candid, making no
random statements and never indulging in insinuation or innuendo.
He was especially self-reliant, forming opinions and i-eaching con-
clusions for himself; and when once he had taken a position it needed
a vast shining of the ' inner light ' to alter or change his views. But
men knew where to find him, and always on the right side of every
moral issue before the public. He wrote with the grace and ele-
gance born of native ability and the constant friction of weekly and
daily duty. Seldom did he indulge in humor or playfulness, though
he loved and enjoyed the sharp encounter of harmless wit.
Though not a technical Garrisonian abolitionist, he was one of the
earliest pioneers in the anti-slavery movement, making that sentiment
always prominent in his political faith, even while an ardent whig.
He was second only to the late Judge Charles Allen, at the time of
the Free Soil movement in 184S, in bringing about the great political
revolution which resulted in the election of George S. Boutwell as
Governor of Massachusetts, and Charles Sumner and Henry Wilson
as United States Senators. " This controversy was a most painful
event to him, because it brought him into opposition with men whom
he personally esteemed and who had been his political associates,
but he did not shrink from the strife, and, of course, there could be
no doubt, as he stood upon the palling of the ways, in which direc-
tion his convictions of duty would lead him." His influence through
the newspaper which he conducted did much to put Massachusetts
on the right side in the great struggle between slavery and freedom,
which was fought out within the next fifteen years, and especially to

make Worcester county the stronghold of conscientious and deter-
mined political opposition to slavery. It was called the ' banner
county ' of the State, in that great conflict of opinion which resulted
in the war of the rebellion and the extermination of chattel bondage
in the United States. "Mr. Earle had few superiors in the country
in editorial ability and experience, and there are few who have
devoted so many years to journalism. In this regard, as well as in
some others, he much resembled his distinguished friend, William
Cullen Bryant."
Among various official positions which he held, aside from his
arduous duties as a journalist, he was Representative to the General
Court in the years 1844, 1845, 1846, 1850, 1851 and 1853, and Sen-
ator in 1S58. During his service as member of the Legislature, he
was in the habit of writing the leading editorial articles for the Spy
in the cars on the way to Worcester at night ; frequently pencilling
his criticisms of public men and measures on the blank margin of the
Boston Journal.
He was likewise a member of the Convention for the revision of
the Constitution of the State, which held its meetings in the State
House in Boston, in 1853. In a letter written April 16 of that year,
he says, " The Convention will meet in about two weeks. I shall go
in favor of very radical changes in our system, taking all pati'onage
from the Governor and other executive officers, and bringing all elec-
tions as near to the people in their primary organizations as possible.
I shall therefore go for representation, in both branches, by election
in single districts, the apportionment thereof based not upon popula-
tion but upon voters, so that the representation shall be, what it pro-
fesses to be, one of the actual sovereignty."
While political journalism was his work during so many years,
conchology, botany and horticulture were his recreation and delight.
As a pomologist, botanist, &c., he had few superiors in this country,
being hardly second even to his friend, the Hon. Marshall P. Wilder,
with whom he was always very intimate. He studied botany, both
theoretically and practically, in his early years, generally carried his
box for Jlowers with him when riding in the country in the floral
months, and frequently traversed field, meadow and forest in search
of specimens. Hence few were so well acquainted as he with the
flora of Worcester county. He was one of the founders of the
Worcester County Horticultural Society, one of its officers from the
208 THE EARLE FAMILY [SEVENTH
beginning, its president for several years, and one of the largest con-
tributors to its exhibitions. He was an acknowledged authority on
all matters relating to garden culture, and had no greater pleasure
than in comparing notes with other enthusiasts in that line, discuss-
ing and testing the merits of new varieties of flowers or fruit, or
freely imparting his stores of knowledge to interested listeners.
As he married in Nantucket, he frequently visited that island,
where he became acquainted with the captains of whale-ships who
brought sea-shells of both the Atlantic and the Pacific ocean. This
gave him the opportunity to select the finest specimens for his own
conchological cabinet. He knew not only the dealers in shells, but
most of the owners of large private collections in New England and
the Middle States, and thus had facilities for enlarging his collection
by frequent exchanges. Several years before his decease, he gave
this collection, which had become the most extensive in the county,
and was scarcely equalled by any other private one in the State, to
the Natural History Society in Worcester.
He was an Alderman of the city of Worcester soon after its incor-
poration, one of the Vice-presidents of the Worcester County Institu-
tion for Savings, and a Director of the State Mutual Life Assurance
Company from its organization to the time of his death ; and held
offices of trust in other institutions.
On the 1 2th of May, 1859, he was appointed by Gov. Nathaniel
P. Banks "Commissioner to examine into and report upon the con-
dition of the Indians and descendants of the same in the Common-
wealth." President Lincoln, in 1862, appointed him as Postmaster
of Worcester, an office which he filled with the same conscientious
fidelity which distinguished all his conduct in public and private life.
At the expiration of his term he was reappointed by Andrew John-
son, the commission bearing date of July 7, 1865. Not long after-
wards he received a printed circular endorsing Johnson's policy, with
the request that he should sign it and return it to the Executive
department at Washington. As he could not conscientiously sign
it, he laid it aside and made no reply. The circular was soon fol-
lowed by another, identical in its purport and request with the first.
This, too, was laid aside, unsigned and unacknowledged. As might
have been expected under the then existing administration, and as he
did expect, his removal from office was not long delayed. And thus
was sacrificed, for opinion's sake, one of the most lucrative govern-
mental positions in Massachusetts.

From that time he took no active part in public afiairs, though he
retained to the last his interest in them, and was always willing to
give his counsel, advice, and any information in his power, to those
of his friends who desired them.
" He was a faithful member of the Society of Friends, an upright,
God-fearing man, beloved and respected in every private and public
relation."

of Uriah dnd Phebe (Folger) Hussey, of Nantucket,
Mass. ; resided in Philadelphia, Penn., and d. July 14,
1849.
He was educated at a common school and at Leicester Academy,
assisted his father in business during the last years of his minority,
was a few months in the store of Earle & Chase, in Worcester, and
removed, in 1S17, to Philadelphia, where he became one of the firm
of Earle & Barker, Commission Merchants for the sale of domestic
goods. The firm was afterward changed to Earle & Gaskell, and
the two copartnerships extended over a period of about six years.
But the mercantile business was less agreeable to him than literary,
professional and philanthropic pursuits, and he was not successful in
it. In 1824 he began the study of the Law, and in due time was
27
2IO THE EARLE FAMILY [Seventh
admitted to the Bai* in Philadelphia, where he practised his profession
during the remainder of his life.
Aside from his legal avocations he w^as engaged, for many years,
as editor or assistant editor, of several new^spapers, in succession, and
was interested, as publisher, in two of them. He was at one time
the sole editor of The Pennsylvanian, the leading anti-slavery paper
of the period in Pennsylvania. In the canvass for president, in 1825,
he at first supported General Jackson, but after the publication of
" the Monroe correspondence," he transferred his allegiance to John
Quincy Adams. He was, however, so well satisfied with the first
term of the administration of Jackson, that he advocated his re-
election.
He was the first, and for nearly twenty years the persistent and
laborious advocate of a reform of the Constitution of Pennsylvania.
He began this work soon after his admission to the Bar, by contri-
butions to the columns of such papers as would publish them. Sub-
sequently, he continued it in papers the command of whose columns
he possessed by right of editorship ; and at length he and a Mr.
Johnson were joint owners of the Mechanics' JPree Press and
Reform Advocate^ which was specially devoted to it. The cause
gradually gained adherents, slowly at first but rapidly afterwards,
and the reform was at length consummated, in 1837, ^Y ^ convention
to which he was one of the delegates, and of which he was called the
"father." When the convention assembled, his views had become
so generally acceptable to the dominant party, that it was understood
that any office within the gift of the people of the State was open to
him. But he neither sought nor desired office. His object was, the
greatest good of the people under the organic law. Hence he sacri-
ficed all political preferment to a sense of justice and of duty, in
advocating the right of colored citizens to the elective franchise. He
would let the negro vote, — the majority in the convention, repre-
senting the democratic party, would not. " His," wrote John G.
Whittier, " was a heroic martyrdom of the politician, the self-immo-
lation of ambition at the call of duty. In the history of political men
there are few such instances on record."
"With a great portion of the amended constitution," remarked a
Philadelphia editor, in an obituary notice of him, " he was satisfied,
and united with the majority in its favor. But, in relation to the
extension of the right of suffrage to the colored people, the limiting

of the terms of judicial officers and giving their appointment to the
people, and some other things intended to take patronage from public
officers and bring it as near as. possible to the people in their primary
organizations, which caused some of the warmest debates in the con-
vention, he was in the minority. He was in advance of the people.
He lived to see his principles more fully carried out in the revised
constitution of New York ; and that they will more generally prevail
than they have done, there can be no doubt."
He was " born and bred " an opponent of slavery, and from a com-
paratively early period in the great struggle for the emancipation of
the chattelized American negroes, he took an active and prominent
part. Soon after he went to Philadelphia he joined, and for many
years was one of its counsellors, the old anti-slavery society of which
Benjamin Franklin and Dr. Benjamin Rush had long before been
members. After the accomplishment of the revision of the Pennsyl-
vania Constitution, he took no active part in the politics of the State,
and devoted more of his time and energy to the promotion of the anti-
slavery cause. In consequence of individual peculiarity of opinion
upon " side issues," or points, principles and methods of action minor
to the gi-eat object aimed at, he was not an " abolitionist," in the tech-
nical and limited sense of the word which was prevalent at that time ;
but, by constitution, by heritage, by education and by conviction, he
was always an " abolitionist," in its true and general signification,
as applied to slavery. And during the decade from 1838 to 1848,
few men in the country devoted so much time and labor gratuitously,
as he, to the advancement of the enterprise for the redemption of the
nation from the ignominy of permitting and sustaining the holding of
human beings as chattels. In the business of the anti-slavery meet-
ings he was ever active, and to the columns of the anti-slavery peri-
odicals— particularly The Pennsylvatzian and The Pennsylvania
Freeman — he was an abundant contributor.
In the canvass of 1840, for the presidency of the United States, the
Liberty Party, then just organized, elected him as their candidate for
vice-president, on the ticket with James G. Birney for president.
The correspondence in relation to this appointment is placed in the
Appendix.
As early as 1823, he published a pamphlet on " The Right of
States to alter or annul Charters," a copy of which, with a letter,
was sent to Thomas Jefferson and elicited from him, in reply, the
following vigorously expressed comment :
212 THE EARLE FAMILY [SEVENTH
"MoNTicELLO, Sept. 24th, 1823.
Sir : — Your letter of August 28th, with the pamphlet accompany-
ing it, was not received until the i8th instant.
That our Creator made the earth for the use of the living, and not
of the dead ; that those who exist not can have no use nor right in it,
no authority or power over it ; that one generation of men cannot
foreclose or burthen its use to another, which comes to it in its own
right, and by the same divine beneficence ; that a preceding genera-
tion cannot bind a succeeding one by its laws or contracts, — these
deriving their obligation from the will of the existing majority, and
that majority being removed by death another comes in its place with
a will equally free to make its own laws and contracts ; these are
axioms so self-evident that no explanation can make them plainer, for
he is not to be reasoned with who says that non-existence can control
existence, or that nothing can move something. They are axioms
also pregnant with salutary consequences. The laws of civil society
indeed, for the encouragement of industry, give the property of the
parent to his family, on his death ; and in most civilized countries
permit him even to give it, by testament, to whom he pleases. And
it is also found most convenient to suffer the laws of our predecessors
to stand on our implied assent, as if positively re-enacted, until the
existing majority positively repeals them : but this does not lessen
the right of the majority to repeal, whenever a change of circum-
stances, or of will calls for it. Habit alone confounds civil practice
with natural right.
With my thanks for the pamphlet, be pleased to accept the assur-
ance of my great respect.
Th. Jefferson."
One of his earliest efforts, while a member of the Law Academy,
was an " Essay on Penal Law," which was considered of such merit
that it was published by the Academy. In 1830 he published "A
Treatise on Railroads and Internal Communication." As the first
book upon the subject in the country, it was " held in high esteem ;"
and it is still valuable as a historic illustration of the status of the
railroads of that early day, and as a point from which to measure the
subsequent remarkable progress of improvement in them. Rewrote
a spelling-book upon an original and novel plan. It was approved
by teachers and school-committees, and was introduced in some of
the Philadelphia schools. Had his life been prolonged it would
probably have been brought into more general use. His most elab-
orate published work was the " Life of Benjamin Lundy," one of the
pioneers in the crusade against American slavei'y.
He acquired a good degree of proficiency in the French, German,
Italian and Spanish languages, and in his later years, in which much
I

of his time was devoted to literary pursuits, he began "A Grammati-
cal Dictionary of the French and the English Language," based upon
a plan which he believed would greatly facilitate the acquisition of a
knowledge of the French. The intensity of his labor upon this,
together with his professional practice and the work in other enter-
prises in which he was interested — one of which was the translation
into English of Sismondi's "Italian Republics" — undoubtedly con-
tributed to the undermining of his constitution, and the hastening of
the disease which terminated in death.
We have before us many appreciative obituary notices published
soon after his decease. The extract given below is from one which
appeared on the 26th of July, 1849, ^'^ ^^^ editorial columns of the
Pioneer and Herald of Freedom^ which was published in Lynn,
Massachusetts : —
"We knew Thomas Earle well ; and therefore we feel how diffi-
cult, how impossible it would be to tell others how well we loved,
how greatly we respected, and wherefore we so well loved and so
greatly respected, that remarkable man. We were honored by his
acquaintance and blessed by his friendship. We were instructed by
his wisdom, and encouraged by the nobleness of the life he lived.
We have read, and have found a melancholy pleasure in reading,
numerous obituary notices of him which have been published by our
editorial contemporaries, — as well those belonging to difierent politi-
cal and different religious parties, as those connected with no party
in politics nor with any sect in religion. Those notices abound in
well-deserved eulogium. They speak of the departed as ' a philan-
thropist,' ' a man of powerful intellect,' ' of acute discrimination ; an
intense thinker, a careful observer of men and things, a close and
severe student, a man of enlarged views,' 'of warm and generous
impulses,' 'an ardent advocate of whatever he deemed calculated to
ameliorate the condition or advance the progress of his race,' 'an
able public debater,' who ' carried great enei^gy and zeal into every
cause to which he was devoted,' ' a philanthropist whom oppression
could not swerve ; a politician whom politics could not corrupt ; '
and ' a Christian whom sect could not circumscribe.'
But all this, strong and eulogistic as it is, must needs, as it seems
to us, fail of giving, to any one not acquainted with Thomas Earle,
an adequate conception of the man. Such a conception of our friend
we, of course, as we have already intimated, shall not attempt to
convey. Only they who were favored with an intimate communion
with him could appreciate his worth. Were we to endeavor an indi-
cation of that phasis of his character which ever most forcibly im-
pressed us, we should say it was his intense honesty, which seemed
to control and direct all the activities of his noble and energetic
214 THK EARLE FAMILY [Seventh
nature. Ever since knov\^ing him, the old and oft-repeated line of
Pope's,
'An honest man 's the noblest work of God,'
has had, for us, a profounder significance than we had thitherto per-
ceived in it. We think it was his intense love of justice that made
him so earnest and uninterniitting a worker. Such another worker
we are not sure that we ever knew. And taking the definition of
worship given by Carlyle's famous monk, he was also one of the
devoutest of worshippers, — ' Work is worship.' * * * *
A short time before his death Mr. Earle was asked if he had any
dread of dying, and answered with a smile, ' not the least,' but ex-
pressed some regret that he could not remain to complete his various
unfinished works. * * * »
' I never,' we once heard Dr. Follen say, ' witnessed a virtuous
act but it increased my faith in man's immortality.' By how much
more is one's faith in that doctrine increased when one looks at the
life of an honest and able man ! Thomas Earle yet lives and works.
He lives and works in a higher sphere ; and he lives and works, as
he lived and worked while visibly among us, for humanity. God be
thanked for the gift of such a man."
His widow — herself the possessor of an unusually brilliant intel-
lect— thus wrote of him :
" In generous disregard of self, in the kindest forbearance for the
weaknesses and errors of others, in patient investigation of all sub-
jects, moral, intellectual and ph3'sical, and in steadfast adherence to
truth and honor, I have never seen his equal ; " and of his own prin-
ciples, he said, — "My democracy is that which was advocated by
Jefferson ; my religion, that of the New Testament."
The children of Thomas and Mary (Hussey) Earle were:

and successful lawyers of the Philadelphia Bar. As a pleader he has

In allusion to Lydia Earle Chase, the writer of a memoir of her
son Pliny says, "She was a woman of remarkable strength of mind
and independence of character." To this it may be added that, in
her home life she furnished a notable demonstration of the ability to
conceive, and the energy to put into practice, a prudent, wise and
thrifty household economy ; and that, in conscientious devotion to
her duties in the relations of wife, mother and neighbor, she was an
exemplar worthy of a large following.
The following sketch is abridged from Comley's History of Massa-
chusetts :
Anthony Chase was born of a family honorably distinguished in
New England from the first settlement of Massachusetts. His youth
was spent upon a farm, and his education was acquitted at a district
school and at Leicester Academy. Owing to the untimely death of
his father, he lived some years in Uxbridge and Berlin, but in early
manhood (July, 1816), he removed to Worcester and entered into
mercantile business with his future brother-in-law, John Milton
2l6 THE EARLE FAMILY [SEVENTH
Earle. Endowed with a mind of remarkable vigor, clearness and com-
prehension, from early youth his society was sought by the intelligent
and cultivated, and his influence among his associates was great.
Worcester has never had a more brilliant circle of young men of cul-
ture and promise than that to which young Chase was admitted ;
among whom he enjoyed the particular friendship of William Lin-
coln, the scholarly man of wit ; Christopher C. Baldwin, the genial
librarian of the American Antiquarian Society, and half a score of
lawyers and statesmen whose names have gained a national renown.
In evei'y enterprise for the intellectual and moral improvement of
the town, Mr. Chase took a prominent part. In connection with the
late Hon. Alfred Dwight Foster, he invited George Combe, of Edin-
burgh, to deliver a course of lectures in Worcester upon education
and culture, they assuming the pecuniary i"esponsibility for its suc-
cess. Entertaining at his house Mrs. Combe, the daughter of the
great actress, Mrs. Siddons, she expressed her surprise that " having
come forty miles into the interior of America she had not met any
wild Indians !"
'He was one of the proprietors of the Massachusetts Spy^xova. 1823
to 1835. The Blackstone canal was opened in 1828, and in 1829 the
Worcester and Providence Boating Company was formed, with Mr.
Chase as its agent, and he was soon appointed collector of revenue
for the canal corporation. In March, 183 1, he was elected Treas-
urer of the county of Worcester, an office wliicli he held for thirty-
four years, or until January, 1865, when he was succeeded by his
youngest son, who held it for eleven years longer. In 1832 he was
chosen Secretary of the Worcester Mutual Fire Insurance Company,
and in 1852 was made its President, an office which he held until his
decease. He was one of the founders, and the first secretary of the
Worcester Lyceum, in 1829; he shaped the Worcester County Me-
chanics Association in its infancy, drawing up its constitution and
by-laws with his own hand, in 1841 ; he was one of the corporators
of the Central Bank in 1828; was for many years Treasurer of the
Worcester Agricultural Society ; for a long period a director in the
Citizens (now National) Bank, and a Trustee and Vice-President of
the Worcester County Institution for Savings. He took great interest
in the public schools, often served as a member of the school com-
mittee, and was never wanting where a call was made for intelligent
and disinterested public spirit. He at one time served as alderman ;

but frequently declined public offices, the duties of which interfered
with his regular avocation.
Mr. Chase was a member of the Society of Friends, and held the
position of elder in that body. His whole life was marked by the
most scrupulous integrity, and a moral sense of rare delicacy and
refinement.
The children of Anthony and Lydia (Earle) Chase were :

Pliny Earle Chase [1902-1], after studying in the public schools
of Worcester and the Friends' school at Providence, R. I., entered
Harvard College without a condition in 1835, graduated with high
rank in 1S39, and soon afterward engaged in the occupation of a
teacher. He had charge of public schools in Leicester and Worces-
ter, Mass., successively, was an assistant in the Friends' school at
Providence, R. I., and subsequently taught in Philadelphia, Pa.,
with the exception of two years, until 184S, when he relinquished
the occupation on account of severe haemorrhages from the lungs.
He entered a partnership for carrying on the stove and foundry
business in Philadelphia, Pa., and in Wilmington, Del., and remained
in it many years, not retiring from it until some time after he resumed
the occupation of teaching, in 1861. He succeeded Prof. Cleveland
28
2l8 THE EARLE FAMILY [Seventh
as the principal of a school for young ladies, in Clinton street. In
1870 he visited Europe, and in 1S71 vs^as appointed Professor of
Natural Science in Haverford College, Pa. He also served several
months as acting-professor in the University of Pennsylvania, in the
place of Professor Frazer, who had died in office. In 1875, a new
chair, that of Philosophy and Logic, was established in Haverford,
and he was transferred to it. The subjects now coming under his
charge were particularly congenial and agreeable to a man of his
mental constitution. On the organization of Bryn Mawr College,
Pa., he ^vas appointed Lecturer on Psychology and Logic in that
institution. In 1886 he presided at the commencement exercises of
Haverford College, as Acting-President. This was essentially the
closing act of the labor of his life. In the foregoing year he had a
severe attack of pneumonia, from which he never fully recovered.
This was followed by a complication of diseases, in which the action
of the heart was seriously affected. He now failed rapidly until his
decease, which took place at his residence on the College grounds.
He was the embodiment of the student and the teacher. His leis-
ure time throughout his mercantile life was religiously devoted to the
laborious investigation of subjects, both physical and mental, many
of which are among the most abstract, occult and profound. The
great scope and thoroughness of this research are attested by the one
hundred and thirty-five papers by him which, through a series of
years, were published by the American Philosophical Society, of
which he was a member, for several years one of the secretaries, and
latterly one of the vice-presidents. Their titles, with those of his
other writings, indicate a wide range in philology, meteorology,
physics and mental philosophy. For the last twenty years or more,
his investigations were chiefly directed "to the confirmation of the
general postulate that ' all physical phenomena are due to an Omni-
present Power, acting in ways which may be represented by har-
monic or cyclical undulations in an elastic medium.'" He was a
contributor to Silliman's American Journal of Arts and Sciences^
Sh& Journal of the Franklin Iiistitute^ The London^ Dublin and
Edinbiirgh Philosophical Magazine, and the Comptes Rendus, of
Paris. He published, in 1844, The Elements of Arithmetic, Part
First, which was followed by Part Second; in 1848, the Common
School Arithmetic; in 1S50, another arithmetic, prepared in con-
junction with Horace Mann ; and in 1884, Elemejzts of Meteorology

for Schools and Households ; Parts First and Second. He also
delivered many lectures and addresses and made many contributions
to periodical literature.
He was a member of many scientific and literary societies in the
United States and foreign countries. He took the degree of Master
of Arts at Cambridge, in 1844 ; the Magellanic medal of the Ameri-
can Philosophical Society was awarded to him in 1864, for his paper
on the "Numerical relations of Gravity and Magnetism"; and the
degree of LL.D. was conferred upon him by Haverford College
in 1876.
Allen C. Thomas, a fellow professor at Haverford College, writes
of him as follows :
"He could speak, with comparative ease, six or seven languages,
while with the aid of a dictionary he could read one hundred and
twenty, including dialects. He was one of the two or three men in
the country who could read Eliot's Indian Bible. * * * He belonged
to that class of philosophers who are ahead of their times, men who
see, though it may be imperfectly and dimly, very deeply into the
I'elation of things, and whose speculations, like those of the Marquis
of Worcester, though misunderstood and perhaps even unintelligible
to contemporaries, contain truths grasped and accepted by future
generations. * * * Rarely does it fall to the lot of any one to meet a
purer life, a kindlier heart, a greater simplicity, a more perfect
humility. Never putting himself forward, he was always ready to
listen to others, and always treated them with kindness and consid-
eration. His own extensive attainments were kept in the background,
so much so, indeed, that many of his friends w^ere not by any means
aware of the extent and variety of his knowledge."
Thomas Chase [1904-3] pursued his preliminary studies in the
public schools of Worcester, entered Harvard University in 1S45,
was graduated with much distinction in 1848, and received the degree
of Master of Arts in 185 1, Soon after he left Harvard he became
connected, as sub-master, with the Cambridge High School, where
he remained about two years. From 1850 to 1S53 he held the posi-
tion of Tutor of Latin and Acting Professor in the University from
which he was graduated. He then went abroad and remained in
Europe about two and a half years, until July, 1855. ^^ visited the
chief seats of ancient and modern culture ; studied at the University
of Berlin, and attended lectures in Paris.
In the autumn of 1855 he was appointed to, and accepted, a Pro-
fessorship of Greek and Latin in Haverford College, Pennsylvania,
which he subsequently exchanged for the position of Professor of
220 THE EARLE FAMILY [Seventh
Philology and Literature. In March, 1875, he was promoted to the
Presidency of the College. In 1878, Harvard University conferred
upon him the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws, and in 1880,
Haverford College gave him the degree of Doctor of Literature.
He spent the summer vacation of 1883 in travel, with his daughter,
in Europe ; and made an extensive European tour with his family,
in 1886 and 1887, having resigned his collegiate office. He is now
devoting himself to literary pursuits.
In consequence of his proficiency in the Greek language, he was
appointed a member of the New Testament company of the Ameri-
can Committee for the revision of the translation of the Bible.
Besides various review articles, essays, orations on Goethe and
Schiller, Lincoln, and Whittier, and educational addresses, he has
published an account of his travels in Greece, under the title,
"Hellas, her Monuments and Scenery"; also editions of Cicero's
Tusculan Disputations, Virgil, Horace, Livy and Juvenal, and a
Latin Grammar, all of which are widely used as text-books.
Charles Augustus Chase [1906-5], after preparation in the
public schools of Worcester, entered Harvard University in 1S51,
was graduated in course, in 1855, and received the degree of Master
of Arts in 1858.
He was a member of the editorial staff" of the Boston Daily Adver-
tiser from September, 1855, to April, 1862, when he made a tour of
five months in Europe and returned to settle in Worcester. He was
elected Treasurer of the County of Worcester to succeed his father,
and held the office eleven years, from January, 1865, to January,
1876. He was also Register of Deeds for the same county, for the
year 1876. In November, 1879, he was chosen Treasurer of the
Worcester County Institution for Savings, one of the oldest institu-
tions of the kind in the State, and now holds that office. For several
years prior to this appointment he had been one of the trustees of
the institution. He is a member of the Council, as well as of the
Committee of Publication, of the American Antiquarian Society, and
a member of the Worcester Society of Antiquity.

Mulberry Grove Boarding School, in Leicester, and conducted it

Philadelphia. She had much literary taste, which was rendered
more acute and discriminating by extensive reading ; and held a
facile pen, through which, and over the signature Ada, she con-
tributed many articles to the publications of the day. A large pro-
portion of these were poetical pieces written in promotion of the
anti-slavery cause, in which she took a lively interest. Many of

Oct. I, 1881.
His education was obtained at a common school and the Academy
in Leicester, and at the Friends' school in Providence, R. I. He
lived with his parents and, when not at school, assisted upon the farm
until after the decease of his uncle Silas Earle [357~3J when, as
already stated in our notice of that uncle., he purchased, in company
with Reuben Randall, the card-setting machines which had contrib-
uted very largely to the growth of the estate left by Silas. The sev-
eral changes of ownership of Randall's interest which followed that
purchase, until the final formation of the firm " T. K. Earle & Co.,"
with Timothy K. and his elder half-brother Edward Earle [927-3] as
the sole copartners, together with the removal of the business to
cy^>^^ ^^^^^^^ ^^u^, Q:? c<j7 --&2-^

Worcester, have also been mentioned. When this company was
formed Timothy K. was still in his minority, and neither of its mem-
bers had any practical experience in the business.* But Timothy K.
was endowed with a large share of that mechanical ingenuity which
had previously appeared in several members of the family. He was
quick of perception, apt to learn, industrious, energetic, and perse-
vering, and not devoid, withal, of a Justifiable ambition ; while
Edward was a careful and prudent financier, who had acquired a
knowledge of mercantile principles and methods from his experience
in another line of business, and who possessed a constitutional calm-
ness and soundness of judgment, matured by years and improved by
practice.
Thus equipped at the beginning, Timothy K. devoted himself to
the work with a degree of assiduity and activity indicative not only
of a mind which " acknowledges no criterion but success," but pro-
phetic of the assurance of that success. It is not our intention, as
not necessarily our province, to give a detailed account of the busi-
ness of T. K. Earle & Co., or of the steps by which their establish-
ment was enlarged until it became, as it still continues to be, the
most extensive of its kind in the United States. Edward Earle retired
from it in 1S69, and his interest was purchased by his half-brother,
Thomas, who died in 1871. In 1872, Edwin Brown, of Worcester,
son-in-law of T. K. Earle, became a partner ; and in 1880 a com-
pany, under the name " The T. K. Earle Manufacturing Company,"
was organized, with T. K. Earle as president and Edwin Brown as
agent and treasurer. Of Timothy K. it has been justly said :
" Quick to recognize ability in others, and to appreciate what was
needed in his business, he always associated with himself employes
and mechanics of only the highest ability."
* In the " History of the American Card-Clothing Industry," by H. G. Kit-
tredge and A. C. Gould, it is stated (p. 16) in regard to Timothy K. Earle,
that " at sixteen years of age he commenced the business of card-making with
his uncle, Silas Earle, and in a few years purchased his business." The asser-
tion in the first clause of the quotation is wholly a mistake, of which there is
abundant proof. Timothy K. was never in business with his uncle Silas, not
even as an employ^ ; nor was he ever employed, during his uncle's life, in any
other card manufactory. After the death of Silas, his son Timothy, as stated
on page 115, sold his father's machinery to his cousin, Timothy K. Earle, and
Reuben Randall, and Randall's interest, after some transfers, went into the
hands of Edward Earle.

2 26 THE EARLE FAMILY [Seventh
His attention and his time were largely engrossed by his business.
He was at one time a member of the school committee of Worcester,
but, other than that, he neither held nor sought public office ; and
among the various subjects of general importance agitated by the
people, there was but one in which he actively participated. In
regard to the use of intoxicating drinks, he was a " temperance man "
to the extreme, and a tireless advocate of the cause in his daily inter-
course with men. He gave to it liberal pecuniary assistance, and in
1880 and 1881, he was the candidate of the prohibition party for the
office of lieutenant-governor of the Commonwealth.
In religious relations he was a member of the Society of Friends,
taking part in the business meetings of their organization, and, in the
later years of his life, frequently " speaking in the ministry."

Thomas Earle, like his twin brother, Timothy K., was educated
at a public school, at Leicester Academy and the Friends' School in
Providence, R. I. About the time that he reached his majority, he
opened a retail shoe-store in Providence ; and some time afterward
engaged in the same business in Worcester, Mass.
In 1849, he and his brother, Oliver K. Earle, formed a copartner-
ship under the firm name of T. & O. K. Earle, and purchased from
Oliver Keese Eakle.

Benjamin Buffum his lumber business, the yard and office of which
were on the north side of Washington Square, nearly opposite the
Union Depot. He continued in this business until 1865, and soon
afterward, accompanied by his son Edward, he spent about eighteen
months in Europe. After his return he purchased the interest of his
hall brother, Edward, in the T. K. Earle & Co.'s card manufactory,
and retained it until his decease.
In the late civil war he held the commission of Lieutenant in Capt.
Pickett's Company of the 25th Regiment of Mass. Volunteers, and
was at the taking of Newbern, N. C. He was a member of the
School Committee of Worcester, for several years ; and in 1870 a
member of the House of Representatives of the State Legislature.
The children of Thomas and Alice (Chase) Earle were :
1955-1. Edward Earle, b. Oct. 39, 1S51 ; d. unm., Oct. 16,

Oliver K. studied at the same institutions as his elder brothers,
completing his education at the Friends' School in Providence, and,
like them, lived with his parents upon the farm which his grand-
father, Robert Earle, Jr. [174-8], gave to his youngest son, Timothy
228 THE EARLE FAMILY [SEVENTH
[362-8], and in the homestead which the latter had nearly completed
at the time of his death.
After his removal to Worcester, as already related, he and his
brother Thomas became associated as T. & O. K. Earle, in the lum-
ber trade. This business connection continued several years ; but, in
1857, he united vs^ith Mr. Willard Jones, under the firm name of Earle
& Jones, in the establishment of an iron foundry. This proved a
successful enterprise and he v^as engaged in it until the time of his
decease.
He was for several years a member of the School Committee of
Worcester, and was on the Board of Aldermen at the time of the
establishment of the public water-works, by which water from the
Lynde reservoir, in Leicester, was brought into the city. He was
much interested in this sanitary provision, and devoted much time to
its promotion and completion.

Edward Earle attended a district school and the Academy in
Leicester, and completed his education at the Friends' school in
Providence, R. I. He subsequently taught the school of the district
in which he lived. Soon after the attainment of the age of twenty-
one years, he went, in 1832, to Worcester, and became engaged in
mercantile business, temporarily as clerk in the flour store of his
cousin, Robert Earle, and afterward in copartnership with General
Nathan Heard. Before his marriage, in 1835, he had left this busi-
ness and he and Joseph Pratt had become connected under the firm
name of Pratt & Earle. This house was for many years more exten-

sively engaged in the iron and steel trade than any other in Worces-
ter County, and he remained in it long after the establishment and
the secured success of his additional business mentioned below.
As related in our sketcli of Timothy K. Earle, he was one of the
two original partners of the firm of T. K. Earle & Company, when that
house was first permanently formed. He retired from it a few years
before his decease, and afterward took no active part in business,
although his time was fully occupied in the management of public
and private trusts.
The following account is chiefly taken from the elaborate obituaries
of him which were published in the newspapers :
His public life began in 1843, as a member of the Board of Select-
men of the town of Worcester. In 1851 , he was elected a representa-
tive in the State Legislatui^e ; in 1853, a member of the board of
Aldermen of the city of Worcester ; and in 1871, Mayor of the city
of Worcester, to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Hon. James
B. Blake. He " always bore the burden and honors of public ofiSce
with quiet and unostentatious dignity, and labored with his full
ability to faithfully discharge all public duties and trusts. At the
time when the (U. S.) Government was seeking new methods of
dealing with its wards on the frontier, he was selected, by the Society
of Friends, as one of the Indian Commissioners, to act in connection
with a commission appointed by the President. He personally
visited the fields of their abode, studied their condition and needs,
and pressed his opinions with the vigor of one who knew whereof
he spoke."
"As a member of the State Board of Charities, and, in his later
years, its chairman, he found a place where the innate tendency of
his character, his earnest conviction, clear insight and philanthropic
heart, made him of more value than men of shining talents and rest-
less ambition could have been. He had no theories to defend, no
cumbrous equipment of book-learning or class-prejudice in which to
encase himself against the impressions of the heart — the call of duty
and of reason. He gave himself wholly to the inward voice, follow-
ing as that dii'ected, no matter what might be the outward commo-
tion. This is a high quality, sure to give dignity to the conduct and
opinions of men in whom it appears ; and in Edward Earle it was
tainted neither by self-conceit, nor by any morose, or suspicious, or
230 THE EARLE FAMILY [Seventh
grudging sentiments. He was a plain, good man, with a serious
kindliness of mien and of spirit, — one of those
' Religious men who give to God and man their dues.'
In his religious sympathies he was with the Society of Friends, of
whose church he was an active and prominent member. He was a
Friend indeed, worthy of the name which the followers of George
Fox, with modest discrimination, have chosen for themselves.
His youth and middle life were laborious and successful. No
dollar of his wealth was unjustly earned, or left harm or wrong
behind in the earning. He did not crave excessive riches, but retired
in due season from the accumulation of wealth to what was more
consistent with his plan of life, the moderate and benevolent use of
it. If, in his later years, his thoughts were again turned to the anxie-
ties of business, it was no doubt for the sake of others and not for his
own. He was a diligent steward of what was entrusted to his care,
and no small part of his means, as of his time, was given to public
uses or in acts of charity. The catalogue of his good deeds is too
long to be written on earth, and no man took less pains to publish
them. Of his public employments none were very conspicuous.
Such he never sought, being more anxious to put his slaoulder to the
wheel than to ride in the cushioned seat. It is worth mentioning
that he was one of the founders of the American Social Science
Association, having signed the call for the first meeting, in 1S65, and
having been a constant member since, though seldom taking part in
any but its business meetings. In this, as in many of his other
affairs, his wife was one with himself, and they were earnest from
the first that women should have a place in the government of the
association, which has always been the case."

The following notice is condensed from the Fall River Daily
Evening News of April 5, 1884 :
Benjamin Earl, so long known in this community as one of its
most upright and honored citizens, has passed on to the other world.
252 THE EARLE FAMILY [Seventh
For 58 years he has been a resident of Fall River, for nearly half a
century a professor of religion, and for the last 40 years a deacon in
the Central Congregational Church. He has held many offices of
ti'ust and responsibility in town and city, discharging their duties
with conscientious fidelity, and receiving therefor the oft-repeated
approval of his fellow-citizens.
In 1826 he entered the office of the Fall River Monitor as an
apprentice, w^as employed there nearly three years when he bought
the establishment, and on the ist of July, 1829, began the publica-
tion of that paper as proprietor. He continued its publication until
March, 1838, when he sold to other parties. In 1836 he purchased
a book and stationery stoi-e, and was the principal trader in that line
for many years. His entire stock was destroyed in the " great fire"
of 1843, and he lost the insurance upon it in consequence of the
failure of the insuring company. Of late years a circulating library
and other assimilating branches have been added to his business.
He held the office of Town Clerk from 1836 to 1846, a period of
ten years. In the winter of 1846-47, he was a representative in the
State legislature, and for the next three years a member of the
Board of Selectmen and Overseers of the Poor. In 1S49, under the
administration of President Taylor, he was appointed Deputy Collec-
tor, Inspector, Weigher, Treasurer and Ganger of the Collecting
District of Fall River, and — by courtesy of Mr. S. L. Thaxter —
Collector, which position he held four years. He assisted in fram-
ing the City Charter, was President of the Common Council in 185S,
an Alderman in 1859, Auditor and Collector of Taxes from 1862 to
1867, inclusive, and a member of the School Committee for the three
next following years. He was on the Board of Trustees of the Fall
River Savings Bank forty years, a member of its Board of Investment
thirty years, and its Treasurer four years.
Simple in his habits, modest, methodical in business, upright and
downright, prudent, a man of integrity and trust, he has done his work
well as an excellent neighbor, a true friend, a judicious counsellor, a
worthy citizen, a beloved husband, a kind father, and a consistent
Christian. Gentle in manner, he had the flavor of the old Pilgrim
stock, which gave him that vital strength of his undertakings, which
was so eminently characteristic of the man. While his vigor
remained he was as punctual as the clock. He was a useful citizen
and most trustworthy. He not only believed in doing things well,

but he did them to the best of his ability. The life of such a consist-
ent Christian citizen is an honor to our community, and his memory
one of its foirest jewels.

son Co., N. Y. She removed in Dec, 1845, to Madison,
Wis., and d. July 8, i860.
Their children w^ere :
2205-1. Nancy Manchester, b. Sept. i, 1807; m. May 3, 1827,
at Lorraine, Chester Bushnell ; d. Aug. 31, 1877, at
Le Sueur, Minn.
"Nancy Bushnell has led a pioneer life ; and we venture to say
that there is not a woman in Ainerica now living, who has braved
more of peril and hardships than she. Since 1832, she and her hus-
band, Bushnell, have lived in the outposts of civilization. Ohio first
became their new home. But so soon as clearings were made, and
roads opened up, they pushed farther west, and camped upon the
banks of Rock River, in Wisconsin. From there they advanced
westerly to Fountain Prairie, near Columbus, Wisconsin, where they
opened up a beautiful farm. Disposing of the farm, they settled in
Madison, in 1845, where they remained until 1852 or 53, when they
removed to Minneapolis, then just founded, where they remained a
few years, and then pushed back into the wilderness, south-west
from that thriving city. Here, on the 28th of January, 1874, Mr.
Bushnell died, in the 72d year of his age.
In reviewing the lives of these relatives, it is fair to assume that
they have enjoyed a reasonable degree of happiness. But their lot, to
our mind, has been a hard one. If a log cabin, a score of miles from
any other habitation ; away from schools ; out of the range of minis-
ters, doctors and lawyers ; where the sound of the anvil has never
Gen.] genealogy. 255
been heard, and no tavern sign has ever creaked in the wind ; too far
inland for the old stage-coach, and where the weekly mail is carried
on horse-back by a small, but courageous boy, .with the other insep-
arable surroundings of such a place, yields the comforts of life, then,
truly, it has been their own fault if they have not supped their full
share of life's bounties. They reared a large family of sons and
daughters during these pioneer years, and between parents and
children the strongest affection has ever existed. Here, at least, has
been unbroken sunshine and abiding consolation. The brave heart
and the strong arm of the father, with the trusting faith and the
maternal instincts of the mother, triumphed over the cold of winter,
the heat of summer, the want, at times, of bread, and the danger of
the tomahawk of the savage. Through all their perils, they had an
abiding faith in Israel's God. If this faith was in fact a superstition,
to them it was a reality, and bore them fearlessly onward. Their
earthly pilgrimage is over, and together, across a lovely lake from
the house in which Chester died, and beneath the shadow of a plain
and unpretentious chapel, away from strife, and wrapped in the
mantle of solitude, they lie buried. Their spirits have fled from
their hiding place, and look out no longer upon the silent wilderness
or the unvexed flow of the great lakes and rivers of the North. Fol-
lowing in their course. States have sprung into being from unorgan-
ized territories ; great ships ride upon the troubled surface of the
majestic waters of the giant Northwest ; powerful cities, linked
together with clasps of steel, dot the surface of a land teeming with
life, and triumphant in the conquests of civilization. If their share
in producing these achievements is small ; if but little of the wealth
of which they were the heralds fell to their lot, let their surviving
relatives remember that they each died in the faith that a crown of
glory -yvas laid away for them, richer than the mines of Nevada, and
imperishable as eternity itself."

•' The Potter family ranked among the well-to-do people of Ellis-
burgh. They were farmers, and were independent. In-doors, every
nook and corner were kept in order. Regularity pervaded every-
thing. In the morning at the appointed hour the hush of silence
settled upon animated life. Every member of the family and the
stranger within its gates were awed to stillness ; then the worthy son
of the brave old revolutionaiy sire would read a chapter from the
Bible, after which all would kneel in prayer. In the evening before
retiring to rest, the same observance of the divine and common law
was held."

" His impulses were always in the right direction, and in his even
and uneventful journey he advanced on the pathway of common life
and filled the measure of a good citizen. His political ambition was
gratified in being Deputy Sherifli'of his count}' ; his religious zeal in
adhering to the Golden Rule ; and he recognized a good Providence
in all that was vouchsafed him. Upon a clear, frosty morning the
crack of a minie rifle could be heard from the place of his birth to
the place where he always lived and where he now lies. He never
had a neighbor whom he could not look squarely in the face ; and
his last gaze upon the friends who surrounded his deathbed was as
calm and guileless as was his first when his vision opened upon the
world."

The substance of the following sketch is taken from a published
notice of the subject of it.
Samuel Earl is a prominent lawyer of Herkimer, and elder
brother of Hon. Robert Earl, of the New York Court of Appeals.
His father, who was a mechanic, settled in Herkimer about the year
181 7, and died when Samuel was only seven years of age. His
mother, who was the youngest daughter of Dr. William Petry, of
Revolutionary memory, was thus left with three children to provide
for. The sons worked on the farm until they had completed their
education at the common schools and in Fairfield academy.
In June, 1842, Samuel entered the law office of Hon. Michael
Hofiman, where he remained until the following winter, when he
272 THE EARLE FAMILY [Seventh
taught a select school at Salisbury Centre. In the following spring
he entered the law office of the late Judge Charles Gray, of Herki-
mer, where he continued until the spring of 1846, with the exception
of teaching school in the winter months, and served as assistant
teacher in the Herkimer Academy, of which his brother Robert was
Principal. He then entered the law office of Peckham and Colt, the
late Rufus W. Peckham, of the Court of Appeals, being the senior
partner of the firm. In January, 1S47, ^^^ ^^'^^ admitted to practice,
and immediately opened an office in Herkimer.
His brother Robert studied law in his office, was admitted to the
Bar a year later, and then taken into copartnership with him under
the firm name of S. & R. Earl, which was so continued until Robert
was elected Judge of the Court of Appeals. For six years afterward
G. W. Smith, formerly Judge of Oneida County, was associated
with him, under the firm name of Earl & Smith, and he then took
William C. Prescott as his junior partner, reserving to himself the
general direction of the business, and this copartnership still con-
tinues.
His first wife was the youngest daughter of Alfred Putnam, for
many years a prominent citizen of Herkimer. His second wife is a
granddaughter of the late Judge Saunders Lansing, who was a
brother of the late Chancellor Lansing, of the State of New York.
In politics Mr. Earl has always been a democrat, active and efficient
in all political campaigns, and increasing his influence by forcible,
pungent and able contributions to the colvunns of the democratic
press. He has been a member of the Democratic County Committee
for ten years, and has repeatedly represented the party in State con-
ventions. He has also twice received the nomination for County
Judge, but the republican majority in the county has been too large
to overcome, even with his conceded ability and personal popularity.
For many years he has taken a deep interest in the local and tra-
ditional history of the Mohawk Valley, and his researches in that
direction have been so thorough that perhaps no other living man is
a better authority upon that subject. In 1S76 he delivered the Cen-
tennial address at the celebration at Hei-kimer, which was extensively
published and favorably received. Since that time he has delivered
other historical addresses relating to the Valley of the upper Mohawk,
and also to the Palatines who were the first settlers in that region.
At several times he has been called upon to address the Oneida
Gen.] genealogy. 273
Historical Society. His most interesting contribution to the archives
of that association is his address on Dr. Andrew A. Bartow, and the
discovery by him in this country of the article known as water Hme.
Before the construction of the Erie canal water lime was not known
to exist on this continent, and it was supposed that the Roman
cement necessary for hydraulic masonry must consequently be
imported. Just at the time when this cement was most needed in
its construction the lime was discovered on the line of the canal in
Onondaga County, and Mr, Earl demonstrated, by ample docu-
mentary proof, that Dr. Bartow was entitled to the credit of the very
important and valuable discovery.
In all matters pertaining to the history of Herkimer County, or the
families descended from the Palatine settlers of that part of the
Mohawk Valley, Mr. Earl is thoroughly informed. The careful,
patient study of this subject has been on his part a labor of love and
the woi"k of many years.
Mr. Eai-1 resides in the old ancestral home occupied by his grand-
father. Dr. Petry, before the Revolutionary War. He is director
and legal adviser for the Herkimer Bank and the Herkimer, New-
port and Poland Railroad, besides being largely interested, with his
brother, Judge Earl, in the leading agricultural industry of the
county. They have several large dairy farms, and to the manage-
ment and improvement of them Mr. Earl devotes much of his time.
Some of his direct ancestors were Quakers, but at an early day he
became interested in organizing an Episcopal Church in Herkimer,
engaged in the enterprise of building a house of worship, and did
much toward its erection. He has ever since been connected with
the Church organization, either as Warden or Vestryman, and has
always contributed liberally to its support.

The following is an abridgment of a notice of him in the Rural
New Yorker, of January 10, 1885 :
His early youth was passed on one of the mountain farms of his
native State, where he was trained to the ordinary methods of agri-
culture. Proposing to himself a classical education and a professional
life, he entered the Troy Conference Academy, a noted institution of
that day, at Poultney, Vermont, supporting himself, in rigid economy,
by teaching during part of the year. The death of his father brought
upon him new responsibilities which obliged him to relinquish his
plan.
In 1 85 1 he went westward, and after some years spent in teaching
and lecturing, he married and settled on a prairie farm in Northern
Illinois. Not finding grain raising very profitable, and being much
interested in the cultivation of orchard fruits, he removed, in 1S61,
308 THE EARLE FAMILY [EIGHTH
to his present home. The industry which has since made that town
famous, had then made a very small beginning. With the rapid and
immense development of it Mr. Earle has been intimately connected.
He and his sons are now, probably, the largest pear and small-fruit
growers in the West, having some two hundred and fifty acres
planted to these crops.
Mr. Earle has been particularly successful as a commercial horti-
culturist, supplementing his efforts at fruit raising with much study
of the best methods of marketing his products. His leisure has not
been sufficient to enable him to write profusely upon horticulture ;
but at different times he has contributed somewhat regularly to the
Rural New Torker^ the New York Tribiine^ the Coiaitry Gentle-
man and the Prairie Fanner.
Although his practical work has been mostly confined to the grow-
ing of fruits for market, he has always been deeply interested in all
other branches of horticulture, whether ornamental or economic. It
is no doubt due to a recognition of this genuine interest that he has
so often been called upon to preside over the deliberations of horti-
cultural societies. He was president, during its existence, of the
Southern Illinois Fruit Growers' Association, was twice president of
the State Horticultural Society, and was elected to the same office by
the Mississippi Valley Society at its organization, a position which
he still holds, having been annually re-elected.
The Mississippi Valley Society is now the largest horticultural
society in the country, and we may say in the world, embracing, as
it does, twenty-five States and Territories in its field ; and it was
probably on account of his prominent connection with this society,
that the Board of Management of the World's Exposition at New
Orleans, last Autumn, sent to him to confer concerning the organiza-
tion of a horticultural department. He proposed plans for a very
comprehensive exhibition, which should, as completely as possible,
represent the horticultural wealth of all nations. His plans were
substantially adopted, and he was requested to organize the exhibi-
tion on a liberal scale. On the behalf, and with the assistance of the
Mississippi Valley Horticultural Society, he undertook the task, and
having received the appointment of Chief of the Horticultural
Department, he has since given unremitting attention to this work.

He graduated at the University of Vermont, and soon after his
marriage removed to Pike, Wyoming Co., N. Y., w^here he w^as for
some time engaged in teaching. In 1844, he removed to Centreville,
Allegany Co., where he taught until 1846, when he was elected
Principal of the Academy at Springville, Erie Co. He remained at
that institution until 1850, when he became so troubled with bron-
chitis that he resigned his position and removed to Pardeeville,
Columbia Co., Wis., where he engaged in farming for a time.
Having in the meantime studied law, he was admitted to the Bar
and opened an office in Portage City, where he was cotemporary
with L. S. Dixon, who afterward became Chief Justice of the State.
His bronchial trouble returned and he again retired to his farm ; but,
during his residence there he held important local offices, and in
1858, was a member of the State Legislature. In 1862, he sold his
farm and removed to Renville Co., Minn., where, in August of that
year, occurred the memorable Sioux massacre.
Gen.] genealogy. 315
Extract of a letter from Jonathan W. Earle.
"My son Radnor was killed within foui- rods of me, by the Indians
in the Minnesota massaci'e in 1862, while he stopped behind me with
his gun, to keep the Indians from killing me, as they were close upon
me, and had fired more than 30 shots at me, at short ranges, from 10
rods down to three or four. My wife and both daughters were cap-
tured by the Indians, and kept in captivity six weeks, together with
about 90 other white women and children. That is the occasion of
my resuming teaching again, after having practised law 12 years in
Wisconsin. I had just removed to Minnesota, and had been ap-
pointed District Attorney for the county, before the outbreak."
He lost all of his property in this raid of the Indians, but was
enabled, by the aid of friends, to return to Wisconsin, where he
taught school during the winter of 1862-63 ; and having received the
offer of the Principalship of the Academy at Arcade, N. Y., he
removed to that place in 1863. After four years of teaching in the
State of New York, he went, in 1867, to Sioux City, Iowa, where he
was elected Principal of the public schools, which position he
resigned at the close of the year. In 1868 he was Principal of the
Academy at Olean, N. Y. ; but not long afterward he again went to
Iowa, and resumed the practice of his profession at Lemars. Here
he remained until the time of his death, which was the result of a
gun-shot wound received while hunting.

Falls, Ohio ; m. March 4, 1876, Ella Z. Pratt, of Otsego,
Mich. ; lives in Minneapolis, Minn.
Having completed the Union School coui'se in his native place he
removed with his father's family to Plainwell, Mich., in the spring
of 1870. It was his early desire to obtain a collegiate education ;
but, feeling that his father, while establishing himself in practice in a
new place, could not afford to give him that advantage, and having
some independence of spirit, he obtained the position of bookkeeper
and clerk in a clothing store in Plainwell. In 1871, he learned
telegraphy in the office in that town ; in 1872, became telegraph
operator and clerk in the office of the Lake Shore and Michigan
Southern Railway Company at Allegan, Mich. ; and in 1873 was
promoted to the agency for the same road at Otsego, Mich., where
he remained until the spring of 1880, when he accepted a position as
press report operator for the Western Union Telegraph Company at
Kalamazoo, Mich. Eighteen months afterwards he was promoted
to the management of the Western Union office at East Saginaw,
Mich., a place which, after holding it a year, he resigned, in conse-
quence of impairment of health by close confinement.
Advised by medical counsel to seek a home farther west, and
having, by night and morning study, acquired some proficiency in
stenography, he accepted in March, 1883, a situation as bookkeeper
and stenographer of the Fargo, Dakota, branch office of D. M.
Osborne & Co., manufacturers of harvesting machines. In the fol-
lowing November he was made manager of the business and remained
in charge of it until the spring of 1S86, when he received and accepted
the offer of the position of manager of the Minneapolis branch office
of the Pitts Agricultural Works, of Buffalo, N. Y., a position he now
occupies. In the prosecution of his duties in the last two positions,
he has travelled extensively in Wisconsin, Minnesota, Dakota and
Montana.
336 THE EARLE FAMILY [Eighth
His success in the management of machine business, which is done
entirely upon a credit basis, is largely due to the fact of his having
employed most of his spare moments, since starting for himself, in
reading law.
In the course of the past year, 1886-87, he has invented, and
secured letters patent therefor from the United States, an automatic
grain weigher and self-register, and an automatic band-cutter and
self-feeder for threshing machines. These two devices make a saving
of the labor of from four to six men, in operating each machine to
which they are attached.

George H. Earle.
Gen.] genealogy. 349
With the exception of one year at a private institution in Massa-
chusetts, he was educated in the schools of Philadel^^hia. In accord-
ance with the desire of his father that he should learn some handicraft,
he selected that of a mechanic, and, at the age of fifteen years, entered
the large locomotive works of M. W. Baldwin & Co., in Philadel-
phia. He worked at machine making several years, and then began
the study of law. Prior to entrance upon its practice, he passed a
year in Europe, following the then recent example of Bayard Taylor
by making the tour upon the continent mostly on foot and with
knapsack and staff. This Bohemian life is full of the charm of
an unchecked freedom. To him it proved to be unwontedly fraught
with adventure, as his tour covered the period of the political upheav-
ings and revolutions in the continental States, in the memorable year
1848.
At Munich he witnessed the struggles and riots which culminated
in the expulsion from the Bavarian capital of the notorious Spanish
adventuress, Lola Montez, whose beauty and diplomacy had capti-
vated the King and won from him not only the title of Countess, but
an estate commensurate to the support of the dignity of that title. He
entered Vienna on foot, late in the afternoon of the day upon which
Prince Metternich, the great diplomat and the head and front of
Austrian absolutism, fled from it in a carriage. He reached Venice
on the day the Austrians were driven from the city of the Lagoons,
and all was still confusion and uproar. He was at Rome when Pius
the Ninth attempted to flee from that city ; at Naples he was a wit-
ness to the conflicts between the insurgents and the royal troops, in
the unsuccessful attempt to depose the tyrannical Bourbon King ;
and finally, some months later, he was a spectator of the street fights
and the terrible carnage in Paris, consequent upon the closing, by
the National Assembly, of the National workshops which were the
pet device of Louis Blanc for the relief of the laboring classes, but
which were rapidly pushing France to the verge of bankruptcy. In
these bloody encounters it was estimated that no less than fifteen
thousand persons were killed or wounded.
In Venice, in the piazza di San Marco, and near the Ducal Pal-
ace, he asked a man unpacking muskets where they were made,
and was thereupon seized and thrown into prison, with a dirty tin
cup two-thirds full of water wherewith to quench his thirst, and some
boards placed at an angle of about twenty-five degrees, whereupon,
350 THE EARLE FAMILY [EIGHTH
as he was informed, in the soft, Italian language, he might " repose."
An improvised military counsel heard his case and released him
before night-fall ; not, however, until he had had time to recall the
history of his surroundings, and to remember that he was within a
stone's throw of the Palace of the Doges, the Lion's Mouth, the Bridge
of Sighs, and the prison in which Silvio Pellico had wasted so many
of his years. As he travelled on foot he was generally taken to be a
German, a people then hated by the Italians ; and hence, at Padua
and several other places he was arrested on the suspicion that he was
a German spy. He was, however, always speedily liberated. At
Naples, in the open square near the royal palace, he was among the
crowd between the opposing forces, when the battle, unexpectedly
hastened, began. The non-combatants forced an entrance into the
neighboring stores, where for hours the cries of the combatants, the
incessant discharge of musketry and of cannon, and the groans of the
wounded and dying were horribly audible. Bomba triumphed, but
only to await his Nemesis in Garibaldi. But it was in Paris, during
the week of terrific slaughter already mentioned, that he encountered
the greatest personal dangers. A narrative of the occurrences would
require more space than can here be granted ; but twice in the course
of that eventful week he was placed in positions where life or death
appeared to depend upon the mere hazard of a die, with, if possible,
the probabilities of the result against him.
Soon after his return from Europe, and about the beginning of the
year 1849, he began the practice of law in Philadelphia, and has con-
tinued it to the present time, with a degree of success of which he
has no reason to complain. The decease of his father, in the sum-
mer of 1849, undoubtedly hastened that success, by bringing to him
patronage otherwise unobtainable ; and his knowledge of the German
language, acquired chiefly during his tour in Europe, soon gave him
many clients from the large Germanic population of his native city.
In 1862, he took into business partnership his brother-in-law, Richard
P. White ; and recently the number of partners has been increased
by the addition of George H. Earle, Jr., and Thomas White, sons,
respectively, of the original members of the firm.
From boyhood he was an abolitionist, and for ten years before his
reception at the Bar he had taken an active part in the cause of anti-
slavery in Philadelphia and the surrounding country. Like some
others engaged in that cause, he had had his meetings broken up,
Gen.] genealogy. 35 1
and had been mobbed, and driven out of many places. When oppos-
ing the mob at the burning of Pennsylvania Hall, he was struck upon
the head by one of them. After he began the practice of law he was
employed as counsel in many fugitive slave cases, and always for the
alleged slave. In the well-known case of Dangerfield, he was asso-
ciated with Edward Hopper and William S. Pierce, as counsel for
the defence. The trial lasted through the night, in a continuous
session of fifteen hours, and resulted in the liberation of Dangerfield,
who was then carried in triumph through the streets of the city. In
1856, Mr. Earle was a delegate to the national convention which
nominated John C. Fremont for the presidency of the United States.
He has supported every anti-slavery candidate for that office and he
" took the stump" for Van Buren and Adams, Fremont, Abraham
Lincoln and General Grant.
Among the many adverse consequences, either direct or indirect,
of the late civil war, was the gradual demoralization of some of the
larger municipal govei'nments in the country, whereby taxation was
fearfully increased, and indebtedness incurred to an extent which
seriously threatened the bankruptcy of those municipalities. Phila-
delphia, as is well known, is one of the cities which suffered most
severely in this respect. The maladministration of its government
led to an increase of indebtedness at an annual average rate of three
millions of dollars, until, at the expiration of a few years after the
war, its total debt was about seventy millions. This alarming condi-
tion led to the appointment of a Reform Committee, composed, in
about equal numbers, of members of the two leading political parties,
and with the Hon. Henry C. Lea as its chairman, the object of which
was, to secure a better government of the city, and, by this means,
check expenditure and diminish the municipal debt. This commit-
tee was prompt, vigorous and effective in its action ; but not long
afterward, it was followed by a more powerful organization, com-
posed wholly of republicans, and subsequently very widely known as
the " Committee of One Hundred."
Mr. Earle was a member of each of these committees, and in the
latter he was chairman of the Committee on Public Meetings. His
duties in that position were constant and arduous. The Reform
Committee had organized, as far as it could, a reform association in
each of the numerous wards of the city, and a series of public meet-
ings were held by each of those associations. Sometimes as many
352 THE EARLE FAMILY [EiGHTH
as six or seven took place on a single evening ; and frequently from
twenty to thirty per week were held for several successive wrecks.
It was incumbent upon Mr. Earle to see that proper places for these
meetings w^ere secured ; that, by advertisements, hand-bills and
posters, due notice of them was given ; and that a sufficient number
of speakers were always engaged. So far as known, there w^as no
failure, in these respects, of any meeting called by the Committee of
One Hundred. The activity, the labor, and the extent of operations
of that committee may be inferred from the fact that its disbursements
amounted to about one hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
The results of the action of the two committees — and each of them
contributed largely toward the attainment of those results — were,
that not only the growth of the debt of Philadelphia was stopped,
but effective measures were taken for its gradual diminution, and the
government of the city, in all it branches, was greatly improved.

354 THE EARLE FAMILY [Eighth
was educated in the public schools of Leicester and Worcester, and
at the Friends' School in Providence, R. I. He also attended some
lectures at the Institute of Technology, in Boston.
He studied architecture under Calvert Vaux, the well-know^n
architect of New York City, and, in 1865, supplemented that special
education by a seven months' tour of observation of the finest speci-
mens of the several orders of architecture in Europe. After his
return he became associated in business with James E. Fuller, under
the firm name of Earle & Fuller, and they opened offices in both
Boston and Worcester. This partnership was dissolved in 1874, and
since that time he has pursued the business alone, — his only office
for the last few years being in Worcester. Aside from the many
private dwellings designed by him, he has apparently had his share,
as architect, of the edifices for public purposes which have been
erected in Massachusetts and its vicinity. Among these are the
Technical School and no less than ten churches, — including the
Central Church and All Saints Church — in Worcester; the Park
Church and the Slater Memorial, in Norwich, Conn. ; the Slater
Library, at Jewett City, Conn. ; the Rogers Libi'ary, at Bristol, R. I. ;
the Iowa College Library, at Grinnell ; the library and the chapel
of the Agricultural College at Amherst, Mass. ; the Goodnow Memo-
rial Library, at Princeton, Mass. ; the Lyon Memorial Library, at
Monson, Mass. ; the Damon Memorial Libraiy, at Holden, Mass. ;
and the Town Library, at Norton, Mass. He also furnished the
designs for Goodnow Hall, at Wellington, Cape Colony, South
Africa.
He has recently been appointed architect of the Clark University,
at Worcester, Mass., the institution founded and munificently
endowed by Mr. Jonas G. Clark.
In August, 1862, he enlisted in Company C, of the 51st Regiment
of Massachusetts Volunteer Militia, and served eleven months under
General Foster, in North Carolina. He was Surgeon's Clerk and
Ward Master most of the time. He was in the Goldsboro expedition
and the battle of Whitehall.

(3. Oct. 30, 1852, in Fremont, 111.), dau. of Addison B.
and Anna M. (Stebbings) Partridge, of Englewood, 111. ;
d. Sept. 17, 1883, in Boston, Mass.
He was reared on the home farm and trained to toil, but attended
the district school in winter. Ambitious and aspiring, he added
much to this rudimentary education by careful study and reading at
home, without a tutor. If this had its disadvantages it was not with-
out corresponding benefits, for it taught him self-reliance and that
confidence in himself which served him so well in after years. This
trait of his character was always noticeable ; yet, if he was confident
of his own abilities in every field which he entered, it was equally
true that he entered no field which his abilities did not pecuHarly
qualify him to fill. Pliysically he was very strong and had great
endurance ; and this, added to a rare ability to apply his efforts to
the best advantage, made his achievements on the farm something
quite beyond the ordinary. In the school-room, as a pupil, he won
a leading place ; and later, as a teacher, he made a high reputation.
The bright and quick-witted pupils felt that their teacher shared with
them the honors of success, and the dull and plodding learned from
412 THE EARLE FAMILY [NiNTH
him methods of study and application which helped them to help
themselves. In church and Sunday-school work he never tired, but
labored with unswei"ving fidelity, not alone while at home, but dur-
ing the years of his school and business life. In business, too, he
was diligent and vigorous ; and he carried the same force and energy
into the recreations of life, entering the field of sports with all the
zest of youth, even in mature manhood. He approached men with
confidence and readily won their confidence. Not trained in the
commercial world, he seemed intuitively to know the necessity of
promptness and system in all his affairs ; and these cardinal princi-
ples, together with strict integrity and persevering industry, were
the four pillars upon which he reared a successful career.
He attended the academic department of Beloit College during a
part of 1865 and 1866, and in 1869 was for a short time in the sopho-
more class of Lawrence University, at Appleton, Wisconsin. He
began to teach in i866, at Union Grove, Wisconsin. He remained
there during three school years, in the course of which he was chosen
President of the Racine County Teachers' Association, a position
which he held until he left the county ; and, in the latter part of
1869, was elected Superintendent of Schools for the same county.
He was engaged in educational work, as superintendent or teacher,
until the spring of 1874, when he became interested in the publica-
tion of local illustrated works. One with whom he was engaged in
business writes of him: "Genealogy had a fascination for him that
caused him to work with an enthusiasm which enabled him to
achieve success where others had failed or would fail. His labors in
this department of literature extended over a large section of country,
embracing portions of Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan, New York,
Tennessee, Connecticut, New Hampshire and Massachusetts. He
took a deep interest in the early history of localities ; and wherever
he went in his researches, he made himself familiar with the charac-
ter and circumstances of the earliest settlers. He rescued from
oblivion the history of hundreds of families ; and caused to spring up,
in the hearts of their descendants, a reverence for the hardy pioneers
that might otherwise have lain dormant forever. He always had a
helping hand and an encoui-aging word for his less fortunate associates
in business, and was one of those who do not think it necessary to pull
others down that they may rise."
After his marriage Mrs. Earle immediately became his almost

constant companion, travelling with him and personally assisting in
his literary and business labors. The death of their only child was
deeply felt by the parents ; but they went again to their work, and
continued together in the field until the last illness of Mr. Earle.
He had seemed the very embodiment of health, and had always
looked forward to a long life almost as an assured gift. But it was
not so to be. While engaged in historical work in Boston, Massa-
chusetts, he was taken ill with a fever which terminated fatally at
the end of but a single week. His remains were interred in the
cemetery at Honey Creek, Wisconsin.
His life was one of usefulness and benevolence. It is a pleasant
memoi'y that comes with the mention of his name, — pleasant because
it brings before us not alone a inan of wisdom and thoughtfulness,
but because he had added to those traits the rarer one of sterling
goodness. The tribute has often been paid to him — " He was one of
the best men I ever knew"; and the scarcely less complimentary
opinion that " he was constantly developing and growing in ability
as well as character," has frequently been expressed.

Fanny L. Bundy {b. May 24, 1847), and lives in Chicago.
His father went from Vermont in 1854 and settled in Lake County,
111., where he engaged in farming, — the subject of this sketch assist-
ing him during the summer months, and attending school in winter.
In 1861 he enlisted in the 15th Illinois Volunteer Infantry, and
served under General Fremont, in the Missouri campaign, until the
fall of that year, when he was discharged from the service, on
account of disabilities incurred while unloading a transport on the
Missouri river. In the fall of 1862 he enlisted in the 96th Illinois
Volunteer Infantry, and his military record is given as follows in the
history of that regiment, published in 1886 : " He was appointed first
sergeant upon the oi-ganization of the company ; promoted second
lieutenant February 16, 1863, before he was eighteen; and first
lieutenant August 12, 1864. Was a prisoner of war from September
22, 1863, to February 9, 1864, and escaped from Libby Prison, Rich-
mond, Va., by tunneling. Was twice slightly wounded at Chicka-
mauga, while in command of his company, and was especially com-
Gen.] genealogy. 417
mended for bravery in the report of that battle. Commanded Com-
pany D for two months in the advance on Atlanta, and at the close
of the campaign was given special mention for personal bravery by
the commander of the regiment, and chosen as aide and inspector on
the staff of the brigade commander, which position he held until the
close of the war. Was brevetted captain of the United States Volun-
teers for gallantry and meritorious services in the battles of Chicka-
mauga, Resaca, and Atlanta, Ga., Nashville and Franklin, Tenn.,
and mustered out with his regiment in 1865."
After the war he attended Beloit College three years, entered the
Chicago Medical College in 1868, and took his degree of M.D. in
1870. He is a member of the local, State and national medical
societies. In 1886 he was a delegate to the British Medical Associa-
tion, and at that time became a member of it. He is now President of
the Chicago Gynecological Society, and Vice-President of the Illinois
State Medical Society. He became a member of the faculty of the
Woman's Medical College, Chicago, at its organization in 1870,- and
now holds the position of professor of diseases of children and clinical
medicine in that institution. He was one of the founders of the
College of Physicians and Surgeons at Chicago, and occupies the
chair of Obstetrics in it. Since 1871 he has been Physician to the
Washingtonian Home of Chicago. Among his contributions to
medical literature are "Electricity in Post-partum Hemorrhage";
"Scarlatina in Chicago"; "Inebriety as a Vice " ; various papers
on alcoholism and the opium habit; " Cephalaematoma of the New-
born " ; " Roechlu (or German measles) in Chicago"; "Summer
diseases of children"; "Cirrhosis of the Pancreas"; and others of
minor importance. At this time (1887) he is engaged in a series of
articles, the results of his observation in foreign hospitals, and is
pai'ticularly interested in promulgating the present theories on anti-
septic obstetrics.

The following obituary notice of her appeared in the Nexv York
Eventing Post of March 30th, 1885 :
"Mrs. Grose, who died suddenly on Saturday last after a very brief
illness, was the daughter of John Earle, a well-known, now retired,
merchant of Boston, and wife of Joseph Grose, of the firm of Megroz,
Portier, Grose & Co., of this city. She was a woman of rare
accomplishments and of unusual and marked character. She com-
pleted her school education at Mme. Mears's in Madison Avenue,
and afterward took the Hai^vard course for women, being among the
very first to take advantage of the privilege thus extended to her sex.
She was a finished musician and linguist, being thoroughly trained
in German, French, Spanish, and Italian, and possessing a wide
knowledge of Greek and Latin classic literature. Her scholarship
was not, however, of that kind which distracted her attention from
the great problems of modern life, and she was active in many move-
ments for the amelioration of the condition of those about her.
Every great social question made demands on her attention which
were invariably followed up by some practical suggestion or act.
She was during the latter years of her life a devoted Swedenbor-
gian and the most prominent figure of the Swedenborgian community
in this city. Her knowledge of the literature and theory of her
church was exhaustive, and she was justly regarded as an authority
in all matters relating to them, her strongly speculative mind having
found an answer for its most imperious questions in the writings of
Swedenborg, and she devoted herself to the dissemination of his
teachings. She was a woman of rare sweetness as well as unusual
strength and breadth of character."

ADDITIONS.
The following selections, mostly from information received too late
for insertion in its pro2:)er place, will contribute to the completeness
of the history of several families.
Upon the farm owned, in 1882, by Captain B. F. Wing, near the
head of the Apponaganset River, in Dartmouth, Mass., there is a
small cemetery containing from twelve to fifteen graves, two of
which, as appears from the inscriptions on the head-stones, are those
of Ralph Earle, Jr. [8-2], and Joseph Earle, Jr. [66-3]. There
are no inscriptions at any of the other graves. It is probable that
this was the private burial place of the Earles in that vicinity. All
the public burying-grounds in Dartmouth, at that time, are recorded
in the Town records.
[145-3]. Mary Earle. James Lawton, Jr., her husband, was a
saddler in Leicester, Mass. In 1739 he bought of Rev.
David Parsons, of that town, a grist-mill and forty acres
of land at the outlet of the Town meadow, one-half mile
west of the Academy, and near the eastern foot of Mt.
Pleasant, where the brick card-factory belonging to
Sargent Brothers now stands.

The following account of Joseph Earl, of Nantucket, and his
descendants, is inserted here because, although his descent from Ralph
and Joan has not been absolutely proved^ yet the amount of circum-
stantial evidence that such was his lineage, is so great as to render it
very nearly a certainty. Mrs. Maiy Ann (Earl) Snow, his grand-
daughter, now 79 years of age, stated, in P^bruary, 1887, that she
was "sure" that the name of her great-grandfather, this Joseph's
father, was Joseph ; and the date of marriage of Joseph Earl [153-4]
and Eunice Hathaway is such as to render it extremely probable that
they were the parents of Joseph who removed to Nantucket. If they
GENEALOGY. 445
were, this Joseph belongs to the sixth generation of the descendants
of Ralph and Joan.

Respected Friend
Pliny Earl We having pretty much concluded to alter
and to cover our Carding Machine, and Joseph Congdon informing
us that he expected to go to Leicester soon, we thought we would
inclose & send thee the Number & diameters of our Cylinders and
propose thy covering them with Cards. We have confered with our
Card makers in Town about doing the jobb who appear desirous to
do it, and are willing to take their pay all excepting the cost of the
wire in our way, but it being our object to have it well done and
thinking we could rely upon thy performance have prefer'd thy doing
it. We have also had it in contemplation to write to Boston but
being desii"ous of having it done soon, and that being likely to pro-
tract the time of having it done, have waved that also.
We are not desirous of beating thee down in thy price, or that
thou should do it below what thou could reasonably afford, but we
have thought considering thou has thy machinery now prepared
which was not when thou did that for the Company at Worcester,
that if we gave thee the same for covering ours as thou had for theirs,
tho a little larger, it would be equivalent to what thou charged them
considering the preparations aforesaid, which the first employers or
rather those on whose account it is especially made in all such cases
must expect to pay, as we have had abundant experience. If that
price will answer we should be glad thou would take the pains to go
& view the machine at Worcester and if their can be any improve-
ment made upon the manner of covering that, should like thou would
make it either in the Length of the Teeth, or in any other particular.

450 THE EARLE FAMILY
Stowel who superintends the business there, will chearfully give thee
any information respecting the working of theirs, no doubt upon thy
own account, and upon ours also, as we are upon friendly terms with
him, having divers times been mutually helpful to each other.
We are in much want of ours being done, and should be glad to
have it soon, propose therefore if thou undertakes the business that
thou would set a time when thou thinks thou could bring the Cards
down to put on, and we will endeavour to have the machine in readi-
ness to receive them. Inclos'd is the dimensions of the Cyllenders
that is their diameters, the second Cyllender in circumferrence thou
knows has the Cards placed at some distance from each other in
order that the rake may take the rolls of distinctly, ours are about 2J
Inches apart. We are of the opinion that the bend of the teeth ought
to be in proportion to the circumferrence of the Cyllender on which
they are placed. We propose having the Cards the same size as
those on the Worcester machine, viz 16 Inches, and all Cotton Cards
of equal quality excepting the feeder, and the Cyllender that takes it
off of it, and we need not add of the best quality, of the number
suitable for the machine, of which we suppose the machine at Wor-
cester must be considered as a sample.
We should be glad to supply thee with any kind of live Stock, if
thou should want, at Cash price or any kind of produce, cloths
included, for the whole or part, of the amount, if not we will pay the,
cash. We think that in four weeks from this time we shall be glad
of the Cards. A Line from thee by Jos'^ respecting what we may
depend on will be agreeable as we mean to prosecute the accomplish-
ment of the business as fast as may be.

Under date of Dec. 14, 17S9, Pliny Earle's brother Silas wrote to
his brother Jonah, who was then in New York city, as follows :
" Pliny is going to set oft' for Providence, day after to-morrow
morning, to put on long cards on to Almy & Brown's machine."
From a memoir of Moses Brown in The New England Magazine
for July, 1SS7, p. 39 :
"Slater arrived in New York, November 11, 1789; entered the
employment of a New York company, and in two weeks was dis-
satisfied. He had thought of going to Philadelphia. A captain of a
Providence packet informed him of Moses Brown, and advised him
to write to him, which he did, as follows : —
" New York, December 2, 1789.
Sir : — A few days ago I was informed that you wanted a manager
of cotton spinning, etc., etc. I have had opportunity, and an over-
sight, of Sir Richard Arkwright's works, and in Mr. Strutt's mill
upwards of eight years. * * * Jf you please to drop a line
respecting the amount of encouragement you wish to give, by favor
of Captain Brown, you will much oblige Sir, your most obedient
humble servant,
SAMUEL SLATER.
N. B. Please to direct me at No. 37 Golden Hill, New York.
Mr. Brown, Providence."
The answer is as follows : —
"Providence, 10*, 12''' month, 1789.
Friend, — I received thine of 2*^ inst., and observe its contents. I
or rather Almy & Brown, who has the business in the cotton line
which I begun, one being my son-in-law, and the other a Kinsman,

advantages of the mills so as to induce thee to come and work ours

Correspondence in relation to the candidacy of Thomas

"Albany, April 2d, 1840.
Thomas Earle, Esq.
Sir : The National Convention of friends of Immediate Emancipa-
tion, now in session at the City Hall, in this city, having resolved
that it is their duty to concentrate their votes at the coming presi-
dential election, have, with cordial unanimity, selected you as their
candidate for the office of Vice-President of the United States, and
James G. Birney, Esq., of New York, as their candidate for the
office of President of the same. And they have earnestly recom-
mended these candidates to the support and the suffrages of the
friends of human rights, as men abundantly qualified and worthy to
fill the high offices to which they would elect them.
With sentiments of the highest esteem, we are your friends and
fellow-citizens.

APPENDIX. 453
New York, April 4th, 1840.
Thomas Earle, Esq., Philadelphia.
My Dear Sir : Mr. Leavitt returned last evening from attendance
on the Convention at Albany. From his account it was a dignified,
judicious assembly, of from one hundred to one hundred and twenty.
A nomination was made. My name is to be held up for the
Presidency ; yours for the Vice-Presidency.
The Convention was not informed whether you would accept the
nomination or not. The expectation is that you will. I entreat, my
dear sir, if you have doubts about accepting, that you will dismiss
them. This is surely not the time for men, selected by a wise and
discreet Convention of their fellow-citizens to stand forth as the rep-
resentatives oi ^&'\.x principles, to draw back. You and I both have
borne and suffered enough, in the struggle that our friends are
making for the establishment of equal liberty, not to be afraid of
assuming the new position to which they invite us.
If the independent movement is to be wholly unsuccessful, the
anti-slavery enterprise is in my opinion at an end. The Whig
Abolitionists who constitute, perhaps, five-sixths of the whole num-
ber, will become merged in their party. The Van Buren Aboli-
tionists will follow their example. Abolitionism will be acknowl-
edged to be but secoitdary to any and everything that the parties
may think essential or convenient for them. Its distinctive character
will be forgotten, and the whole movement will sink into contempt.
There will then be no ground of hope left for the slave, or indeed, as
I view it, for the coujitry^i except in the exterior influence of other
nations on us. It may be, that when France and Spain shall emanci-
pate in their colonies, the collisions to which their condition will
then give rise may, sometime or other, make it necessary for us to
emancipate. It is possible.
I have decided on going to London. Sail about May ist. Were
it not that I am more than usually engaged in making preparations
for so long an absence from my children and affairs, I would go at
once to see you, but this forbids.
I cannot close this letter without renewing my entreaty, that you
will accept the nomination. I pray you, though I suppose that is
unnecessary. * * * Should you not accept, I fear it will throw the
whole movement out of joint. Much as I dislike the attitude in
which accepting the nomination will place me, I shall for the noble
454 THE EARLE FAMILY
cause sake, stand by our friends, who have ventured on so bold a
step. The Convention, as I understand, have no reference whatever
that the nominees have been put up for any other purpose than
that of being elected. It strikes me that our answers ought to be
consistent with that dignified position. I should be pleased to hear
from you, at once.
Very truly yours,
James G. Birney.
Philadelphia, May 30th, 1840.
Gentlemen : I duly received your letter of April 2d, communicat-
ing the unexpected information of my nomination by a convention ot
citizens of the United States, assembled at Albany, as a candidate for
the office of Vice-President, in connection with the name of my
esteemed friend, James G. Birney, as a candidate for the Presidency.
Before receiving your letter, I had deliberately weighed the ques-
tion of slavery in this country as connected with political action. It
appeared to me that a very large majority of the people of the United
States had, for more than fifty years past, been opposed to slavery in
sentiment, and favorable to its extinction by one mode or other ; yet,
while such was the sentiment of the people, and while, probably,
not one citizen in twenty was directly interested as a slave-owner,
we still saw the community of the whole Union, and of each particu-
lar State, go on, year after year, passing new laws, or continuing in
force those already existing, by which the public arm was lent to the
infliction, upon millions of innocent persons, of one of the greatest
and most demoralizing wrongs ever sanctioned by law in any region
of the globe.
It appeared to me that a change of the laws, whether found in the
Constitution or in acts of legislation by which this wrong was com-
mitted, was the great final end of anti-slavery efforts ; for individual
outrage, of the kind in question, could not long exist unaided by the
laws ; and even admitting the possibility of converting all men to a
voluntary performance of their duty, it was not to be supposed that
the laws by which the public assisted in making slaves of human
beings would be continued in force until every individual in the country
should have voluntarily abandoned his share of the wrong. Hence, I
believed that the conversion required of the people of this countiy,
in relation to this matter, was not so much a conversion to a correct
APPENDIX. 455
opinion concerning the wrongfulness of slavery, as to a practice con-
formable to the opinion which they already entertained ; and that this
conversion was as much needed at the North as at the South, for the
representatives of both sections were found alike upholding the legal-
ized injustice, and the citizens of both sections were found alike con-
tinuing to sustain such representatives.
A connected political action being, therefore, the chief end of our
exhortations to the people at large, it appeared essential that we
should ourselves practice that which we urged upon others; and
that so long as abolitionists in general voted for slavery by voting for
those who would officially sustain it, so long there was little pi'os-
jDect of the repeal of those unjust and cruel laws.
Hence, though I entertain a high respect for the general character of
President Van Buren, and a strong attachment to the primary politi-
cal principles avowed by the mass of his supporters, yet I came to
the resolution to support no candidate who should not be friendly to
the abrogation, in a just manner, of the constitutional and legal aid
given by the Union at large to the continuance of slavery ; and I
determined to unite with others, whether few or many, in acting as
we advised the whole people to act.
Yet I was not -favorable to the organization of an independent
political party, embracing but the single avowed object of the repeal
of slave-making laws. I believed it to be impracticable to prevent
a party so organized from soon taking the complexion of one or the
other of two great political parties, which, perhaps, always exist,
and which seem to rise spontaneously from the infirmities of human
nature ; and I thought that the probable result would be an incorpora-
tion of the new party with the weaker of the pre-existing ones, and a
consequent injury to our cause from its association in the minds of
the majority of the people with principles to which they were adverse.
And though the Albany Convention did not declare a design to
extend a separate organization beyond the period of the pending
presidential election, yet I thought such an extension might be the
consequence of its action. And though its members avowed that
they did not intend to confine their efforts to a single question of
public policy, but they would favor the enjoyment by all of the
greatest degree of liberty which could exist in connection with just
laws ; yet I thought this declaration not sufficiently definite to avert
the apprehended danger. I therefore delayed replying to your com-
456 THE EARLE FAMILY
munication, in order first to ascertain the course which should be
taken by the political Convention of friends of the Albany nomina-
tions which was to be held in New York on the nth inst.
The proceedings of that Convention are now known. It was
composed of a representation from a wider section of our country
than was represented at Albany. It unanimously resolved in sub-
tance that it would sustain the equal, civil and jDolitical rights of all
men, without distinction of wealth, birth, learning or complexion,
and would oppose the granting by law of partial or exclusive privi-
leges. Thus it has pi"oclaimed a creed alike conformable to the
religious precepts of the New Testament and to the political doctrines
of the Declaration of American Independence.
With a party taking such principles as its guide, I am ready to act,
without waiting to ascertain its present strength, or to calculate the
rapidity of its success. I feel satisfied that it ought to triumph, and
confident that it will do so, soon or late, unless it shall swerve from
those principles, of which, I confess, I am not without fears. If its
success were remote in prospect, the greater would be the necessity
and the duty of accelerating it by speedy and vigorous action. I
therefore respectfully accept the nomination.
The principal political evils which afflict our nation are, in my
opinion — i. Slavery. 2. Inequality of political and civil rights,
including the practice of granting corporate and business facilities to
portions of the community, and denying them, on the same terms, to
other portions. 3. Excessive salaries to a portion of our public
servants, which are founded on a like principle with slavery, and
which greatly tend to the corruption of administrations and of parties.
Our friends have resolved to oppose the further existence of the
two first-named evils. I hope they may yet include hostility to the
last within the sphere of their action. Embracing three such objects,
we shall be morally certain of success, and through that success of
great blessings to our country.
All past experience justifies the anticipation that persuasion, argu-
ment and appeals to interest will be continually employed to make
us swerve from those ends. It will require good sense, firmness and
integrity to resist their blandishments. Let us, then, stand constantly
on our guard. When, if ever, our organization shall be seduced
from the principle of equal rights and equal justice, then will its
downfall have commenced, and then will it have become the duty of
I
APPENDIX. 457
the wise and the good to abandon it. No pride of opinion or of
reputation should then induce them longer to lend it countenance.
If any one doubts that that portion of our enterprise which relates
to slavery is of sufficient magnitude to call for action at the polls, in
one form or other, from all who love justice above self-aggrandize-
ment, let him compare the wrongs set forth in the Declaration of
American Independence as a sufficient motive to a seven years' war,
with those which we propose to redress through a peaceful resort to
the ballot-box. Were the victims of our injustice to state the griev-
ances which they suffer at our hands, the following might enter into
the array :
"They have deprived us of the enjoyment of our inalienable rights
to choose for ourselves our places of abode.
"They have wrested from us our right to select the mode of our
employment.
"They have denied us freedom of speech and of the press.
"They have forbidden us the exercise of our natural faculties, and
of the means of mental and moral culture which the Creator has
prepared for us.
"They have rendered us prisoners for life, without even a charge
of crime, while they deem a few months or years of imprisonment a
sufficient penalty for confessed and hardened criminals.
"They have prohibited to us the free exercise of religion, and
have excluded from our intercourse those ministers of Christianity
who would preach conformity to the primary precepts of their own
professed faith, viz., that they should do unto others as they would
that others should do unto them.
"They have driven us to unreasonable and excessive toil.
"They have rendered us liable, at the arbitrary caprice of individ-
uals, to be deprived of convenient food, clothing, shelter and medical
aid.
"They have subjected our persons, without distinction of sex or
age, to assault, outrage and even death, at the will of each member
of the privileged class, by depriving the injured and their friends of
the right of giving testimony in courts of justice against the aggressors.
"They have forbidden us to become instructed and qualified for
reading those laws which they have imposed upon us without our
consent or participation, and have doomed us to more grievous
penalties for violating such laws through ignorance, than they inflict
58
458 THE EARLE FAMILY
upon the enlightened of their own class, who may infract them know-
ingly and wilfully.
"They have systematically and by legal enactments, assisted the
callous-hearted and the avaricious to sunder, at their pleasure, the
ties of parental affection and of wedded love ; thus rendering void, in
relation to us, the commands of that revelation which they profess to
believe and to obey.
"They have alleged as a pretext for their injustice, that we are
characterized by a natural inferiority, providentially designed to fit
us for slaves ; while they have manifested their want of confidence in
this dogma, by prohibiting the exercise and perfecting of our natural
powers, under the avowed apprehension that such exercise and per-
fection would inevitably relieve us from our thraldom."
Such are the charges which might, with too much truth, be
brought against us. Such are the wrongs, correctly described by
Thomas Jefferson as more grievous in a single hour than those which
produced the American Revolution, when continued for whole ages.
Let it be borne constantly in mind that the people of all the States
of the Union are the authors or abettors of these outrages ; and that
the action of that portion of our friends who reside in the North, is
not one of interference with the internal concerns of other States, so
much as it is an effort to cease from such interference — an effort to
rid themselves of an immoral obligation, vnijustly to intermeddle for
the purpose of aiding the aggressor and oppressing the innocent and
the afflicted, to which unholy purpose we have rendered our execu-
tives and our judiciaries, our treasuries and our prisons, all subservient.
In conclusion, permit me to express a hope, that while we remain
steadfast and immovable in the support of our principles, and never
abate in our abhorrence of the enormous wrongs which we have
undertaken to abolish, still we of the North shall, at the same time,
cultivate a spirit of charity and forbearance toward our Southern
brethren, in consideration of the circumstances of education, habit
and interest which may palliate the guilt of the actor, without lessen-
ing the enormity of the deed. Let us remember that if our brethren
of the South have erred and sinned, we have erred and sinned with
them, that we have partaken of all the wrong which we charge
against them, and that we have, certainly, as little as they, to alleg
in extenuation of our offence. Let us hope, that when the North ^g
prepared to conform in action to its professions of principle — when
Appendix. 459
it shall manifest a readiness and an urgency to cease from its share
of this criminality, then will the South not be found backward in the
good work,
I remain, very respectfully, your friend,
Thomas Earle.

THE EARLE FAMILY
EXPERIENCE.
By Sarah Earle [871-4], afterward Hadwen.
"We run and leap by the side of a babbling brook, as if we
would run a race with it : but beside waters deep, slow and
lonely, our race is sullen and silent as their course."
— Sir Walter Scott, in Redgamitlet.
Marked ye that light and youthful form,
That eye so bright, that cheek so warm
With generous fe»iing's purest glow .''
And marked ye, too, that tranquil brow?
Marked ye that light, elastic bound,
As if it spurned the unconscious ground.?
That form enshrined a heart at rest.
No stormy passions shook that breast.
His soul was pure, his spirits light.
And therefore was that eye so bright.
And calm that brow, for grief and care
Had never ti-aced a furrow there.
Of vice he had not learned the form,
And therefore was that cheek so warm :
So pure himself, his spotless mind
Glowed with the love of all his kind.
Exulted in the good around,
And hence that light, elastic bound —
That leap, as if it would keep pace
With the swift streamlet's rapid race.
******
That form is changed : though few his years,
That lustrous eye is dimmed with tears.
And mark his brow, see, graven there,
The lines of anxious thought and care;
That cheek has lost its healthful glow.
And lo ! his step is altered now.
APPENDIX. 461
He has been in the world and seen
The dealings of the sons of men.
He has been in the world : awhile
He basked in Fortune's specious smile ;
Had many friends ; and happy Love
A chaplet for his brow had wove.
His guileless breast, with candor fraught,
Ne'er harbored a suspicious thought
Of woman's faith or man's regard ;
And all who sought his friendship, shared.
But changing Fortune's adverse gale
Foundered his bark of gallant sail,
And he awoke ! — " And did I dream ?
Are love and friendship but a theme
Existing in the poefs braiti f
O ! let 7ne sleep and dream again ! "
Such are the thoughts that now possess
His inmost bosom's deep recess,
And o'er his face that gloom have spread —
Thoughts that impel that measured tread —
That step so sullen, timing only
With "waters deep and slow and lonely."
