Introduction 

To  the  First  Edition. 


Eight  years  have  elapsed  since  I  began  tracing  the  rec- 
ords of  mv  Harwood  ancestors  and  relatives,  and  I  have 
now  the  pleasure  of  presenting  to  the  descendants  of  my 
ancestor,  James  Harwood,  this  brief  sketch  of  our  branch 
of  the  New  England  Harwoods. 

When  I  first  began  tracing  the  records  I  had  no  thought 
of  writing  the  family  history.  I  was  led  to  engage  in  the 
work  simplv  from  a  desire  to  know  more  of  my  ancestry 
in  the  Harwood  line.  P!ut  as  my  interest  in  the  work  in- 
creased, I  decided  to  publish  the  records  in  some  form,  so 
that  the  memory  of  our  ancestors  might  be  perpetuated, 
and  we,  their  descendants,  might  come  to  know  more  of 
one  another. 

Being  the  first  to  write  the  history  of  our  branch  of 
Harwoods,  I  have  had  to  collect  most  of  the  records  from 
original  sources,  thus  adding  greatly  to  the  labor  of  the 
undertaking  I  here  wish  to  acknowledge  the  kindness  of 
those  who  have  aided  me  with  their  letters  or  orally  in 
tracing  out  these  records.  A  list  of  those  who  have  thus 
aided  me  will  be  found  at  the  end  of  the  book. 

In  arranging  these  records,  I  have  aimed  to  give  the 
facts  which  I  have  collected  in  as  plain  and  concise  a  man- 
ner as  possible,  and  so  arranged  that  the  connection  may 
be  easilv  seen.     With  regard  to  this  arrangement  it  will

be  noticed  that  all  who  have  borne  the  name  of  Harwood 
are  numbered,  beginning  with  our  common  ancestor, 
James,  and  carrying  the  order  down  through  all  the  gen- 
erations. An  index  will  be  found  in  the  back  part  of  the 
book  giving  the  name  and  number  of  each  Harwood 
whose  name  is  enrolled  in  this  work. 

I  have  taken  particular  care  to  get  the  names  and  dates 
correct  and  I  think  that  all  parts  of  the  record  may  be  re- 
lied upon  as  accurate. 

In  conclusion  I  would  say  that  this  has  been  a  work  re- 
quiring much  labor  and  expense ;  and  I  hope  it  may  meet 
the  ends  for  which  it  is  designed  in  giving  us  a  better 
knowledge  of  our  ancestors,  and  enabling  us,  their  descen- 
dants, to  become  better  acquainted  with  one  another. 
Should  this  hope  be  realized,  my  labor  will  not  have  been 
in  vain.

Preface 

To  the  Second  Edition. 


Seventeen  years  ago  I  published  in  pamphlet  form  the 
results  of  my  work  up  to  that  time  in  tracing  the  history 
and  records  of  our  branch  of  the  New  England  Harwoods. 
I  was  then  but  a  young  man  trying  to  make  my  wav 
through  school  and  college,  with  little  time  and  means  at 
my  disposal  for  engaging  in  genealogical  researches.  But 
I  loved  the  latter  work,  to  me  it  was  rest  and  recreation, 
and  in  such  a  spirit  I  followed  it  'till  the  little  book  al- 
luded to  above  was  compiled  and  published. 

Since  then  many  experiences  such  as  are  common  to  this 
life  have  come  to  me,  but  none  which  has  brought  such 
pain  as  the  loss  in  1890,  of  my  then  only  child,  a  bright, 
beautiful  boy,  who  in  the  ten  months  God  permitted  him 
to  stay  with  us,  completely  wove  himself  into  my  life  and 
affections.  In  my  loneliness  after  his  death  the  thought 
came  to  me  that  I  would  take  up  the  work  I  had  all  along 
intended  sometime  to  do — complete  and  publish  a  second 
edition  of  the  history  of  our  family. 

Ever  since  the  first  edition  was  published  I  have  contin- 
ued to  collect  materials  for  a  second,  and  I  think  the  rec- 
ords herein  contained  will  be  found  as  accurate  and  com- 
plete as  it  is  now  possible  to  make  them.  Nevertheless,  it 
can  hardly  be  expected  that  no  errors  will  be  made  in  such 
a  work  ;  it  is  even  possible  that  there  may  be  errors  in  the

very  arrangement  of  the  early  generations  of  the  family. 
When  we  remember  that  there  are  several  distinct 
branches  of  Harwoods  in  New  England,  as  well  as  several 
in  the  Southern  States,  and  that  the  ancestors  of  these 
different  families  immigrated  from  England  to  America  at 
about  the  same  time;  when  we  further  take  into  account 
that  in  almost  every  town  where  our  forefathers  dwelt, 
there  were  also  living  families  of  the  other  branches  of  our 
name;  and  when  with  all  this  we  take  into  consideration 
that  the  early  town  records,  which  were  often  but  imper- 
fectly kept,  are  now  in  many  places  lost,  we  cannot  think 
it  strange  that  such  a  work  should  be  incomplete  in  spite 
of  the  most  careful  painstaking.  All  that  the  most  faith- 
ful genealogist  can  do  is  to  take  the  materials  now  ob- 
tainable, study  carefully  each  doubtful  record,  and  give  it 
the  place  to  which  it  seems  most  probably  to  belong. 
This  I  have  done,  and  in  cases  of  uncertainty,  I  have  used 
the  word  "probably,"  or  some  word  of  similar  import,  to 
mark  the  uncertainty. 

With  these  explanations  and  introductory  remarks,  I 
now  place  in  the  hands  of  my  kinsmen  who  share  with  me 
the  honor  of  bearing  the  good  old  English  name  of  Har- 
wood,  this  volume,  confident  that  it  will  prove  not  only 
interesting,  but  will  also  serve  to  draw  and  bind  the  mem- 
bers of  our  family  still  closer  together,  scattered  as  they 
are  from  Maine  to  California.

Preface 

To  the  Third  Edition. 


After  forty  years  of  laborious  effort,  I  have  now  the  his- 
torvof  theHarwood  families  descended  from  my  ancestor, 
Andrew  Harwood,  of  Dartmouth,  England,  aud  Boston, 
Massachusetts,  as  complete  as  such  a  work  can  well  be 
made. 

One  marked  difference  in  this  edition  from  the  former 
two  editions  lies  in  the  fact  that  I  am  now  enabled  to  give 
certified  records  in  many  places  in  the  earlier  history  of 
the  Familv,  where  formerly  I  had  to  offer  only  what 
seemed  the  most  probable  but  not  certainly  proven  rec- 
ords. I  am  pleased,  however,  to  find  that  my  former 
guesses  and  deductions  were  in  most  cases  very  near  the 
well  established  facts  now  given  in  this  book.  For  the 
happv  solution  of  these  difficulties  and  for  many  impor- 
tant additions  to  the  history  of  the  earlier  generations  of 
our  branch  of  the  New  England  Harwoods.I  am  indebted 
chief! v  to  Rev.  Anson  Titus,  of  Boston,  Mass.,  James 
Allen  Kibbe,  Esq  ,  of  Warehouse  Point,  Conn.,  and  Hon. 
Ezra  S.  Stearns,  of  Fitehburg,  Mass.,  all  able  genealogists 
and  writers  on  local  town  history.  For  the  very  satisfac- 
tory records  ot  two  or  three  generations  of  our  Family  in 
England,  I  am  wholly  indebted  to  H.  W.  Forsyth  Har- 
wood, Esq.,  of  London,  England.  Without  his  most  gen- 
erous aid  I  could  never  have  located  with  certainty  the

English  home  of  the  ancestors  of  our  line  of  Harwoods. 

In  presenting  this  edition  of  the  History  of  our  Familv 
to  my  kinsmen  and  friends,  I  can  but  again  express  the 
hope  that  it  will  prove  useful  and  interesting  to  them  all. 
We  have  in  this  life  many  duties  to  fulfil  both  to  God  and 
to  man,  and  surely  one  of  them  is  to  keep  alive  a  knowl- 
edge ol  the  men  and  women  to  whom  we  owe  our  verv 
existence,  and  who  wrought  well  to  make  it  possible  for 
us  to  enjoy  far  greater  comfort  and  privilege  than  they 
themselves  had.  To  forget  them,  to  let  all  knowledge  of 
them  perish  from  among  men  would  be  little  short  of 
"base  ingratitude,"  and  would  reflect  anything  but  credit 
upon  us,  their  descendants  and  beneficiaries.  Here,  then, 
is  our  monument  to  their  memory,  as  well  as  a  bond  that 
shall  hold  us  together  as  long  as  present  conditions  shall 
exist.

Note. — In  many  cases  in  the  following  records,  I  have 
mentioned  church  membership,  lodge  associations,  etc. 
Doubtless  very  many  others  were  and  are  members  of 
churches  and  of  other  associations,  but  mv  informants  in 
writing  of  them  failed  to  mention  these  important  items.

Origin  of  our  Family  and  Name. 


THE  name  of  Harwood  is  a  very  old  name  in  Eng- 
land, and  its  origin  has  been  variously  explained 
by  writers  on  genealogy  and  heraldry.  Burke,  in 
his  "Commoners  of  Great  Britain,"  adopts  the  claim 
which  has  long  been  made  that  the  Harwoods  derive  their 
name  and  descent  from  Hereward  the  Saxon,  and  I  my- 
self copied  Burke  quite  fully  in  my  second  edition  of  "Har- 
wood Families,"  published  in  1896.  Several  other  fami- 
lies in  England  with  names  somewhat  like  Harwood  have 
also  attempted  to  trace  their  lineage  to  Hereward.  Lieu- 
tenant-General  Harward,  in  his  work  entitled,  "Here- 
ward, the  Saxon  Patriot,"  published  in  London,  1896, 
while  claiming  descent  from  Hereward  for  his  line,  denies 
it  to  others  whose  names  vary  slightly.  He  says  of  the 
Harwoods:  "They  derive  their  name  from  offices  held  un- 
der the  Norman  Forest  Laws.  In  the  registered  armorial 
bearings  of  Harwood  of  Hagbourne  and  Streatley,  one  of 
the  most  ancient  and  respectable  of  these  families,  their 
arms  are:  Argent,  a  chevron  between  three  stags'  heads 
caboshed  gules.  These  are  clearly  the  bearings  of  an  offi 
cer  posessing  power  and  privilege  under  the  Forest  Laws 
Still  further  indication  is  afforded  of  the  right  meaning 
of  the  name  Harwood  by  the  crest  of  the  same  family 
which  is:  On  a  wreath,  a  stag's  head  caboshed,  gules 
having  in   its   mouth  an  oak  bough  proper  acorned,  or 


10  GENEALOGICAL  HISTORY. 

Here  is  literally  the  'wood'  typified  by  the  oak  bough  and 
acorn,  in  addition  to  the  forestwarder's  emblem  of  the 
stag's  head.  The  forest  officers  were  nearly  all  of  Norman 
extraction.  They  were  of  several  grades — wardens,  ver- 
durers,  foresters,  etc."  Thus  far  I  have  quoted  Lieut. - 
Gen.  Harward. 

If,  however,  there  is  a  man  in  England,  or  in  the  world, 
for  that  matter,  who  should  be  regarded  as  an  authority 
on  the  origin  of  the  name  of  Harwood,  that  man  is  H.  W. 
Forsyth  Harwood,  Esq.,  a  distinguished  Barrister-at- 
Law,  and  Editor  of  "The  Genealogist,"  published  in  Lon- 
don. In  reply  to  my  request  for  his  opinion  on  the  origin 
of  our  name,  he  sent  me  the  following  excellent  letter: 

"15  Rugby  Mansions,  Kensington  W., 
Aug.  20,  1907. 
Dr.  W.  H.  Harwood, 

Chasm  Falls,  New  York,  U.  S.  A. 
Dear  Sir:— 

I  must  apologize  for  having  left  your  letter  so  long  un- 
answered, but  I  have  been  much  occupied  since  I  received 
it. 

You  ask  for  my  opinion  on  the  origin  of  the  name  of 
•Harwood.  I  have  made  a  considerable  study  of  the  sub- 
ject, and  have  come  to  the  conclusion  that  the  different 
families  bearing  the  name  of  Harwood,  Harward,  Her- 
ward,  Horwood,  etc.,  are  not  all  of  common  origin,  and 
that  the  name  has  been  derived  in  various  ways. 

In  the  case  of  my  own  family,  whose  pedigree  in  Burke's 
"Commoners"  and  "Landed  Gentry"  was  compiled  in  a 
very  unscientific  period  for  genealogical  research,  the  Sub- 
sidy Rolls  for  Berkshire  show  that  persons  named  Here- 
ward  were  living  at  East  Hagbourne  in  the  reign  of  Ed- 
ward III.,  and  our  ancestors  were  undoubtedly  settled  in 
the  same  parish  in  the  reign  of  Elizabeth.     But  I  do  not 


ORIGIN  OF  OUR  FAMILY  AND  NAME.  11 

believe  in  the  alleged  descent  from  Hereward  the  Wake, 
who  left  only  a  daughter  and  heir.  Hereward  was  a 
rather  usual  Saxon  Christian  name,  and  it  would  be  no 
more  absurd  to  suppose  that  all  persons  named  Edwards 
are  sprung  from  one  single  Edward,  than  that  all  Har- 
woods  come  from  one  individual  named  Hereward. 

But  by  far  the  greater  number  of  Harwoods  derive  the 
name  from  a  place,  as  Great  Harwood  in  Lancashire, 
and  Horwood  in  Buckinghamshire.  The  Staffordshire 
"Whorwoods  come  from  a  manor  of  Horewood  in 
Compton,  and  the  numerous  Yorkshire  Harwoods  from 
Harewood  in  that  Countv.  Again,  the  name  is  occasion- 
ally, though  rarely,  synonymous  with  Howard.  In  Gra- 
zebrook's  "Heraldry  of  Worcestershire,"  a  family  of  Har- 
wood is  recorded  as  bearing  the  Howard  arms.  I  do 
not  at  all  agree  with  General  Harward's  conclusions, 
nor  regard  him  as  an  authority. 

Yours  faithfully, 

H.  W.  Forsyth  Harwood. 

(In  justice  to  Lieut. -Gen.  Harward,  we  will  state  that 
his  claim  to  descent  from  Hereward  is  based  upon  an  al- 
leged second  marriage  of  the  Saxon  hero ;  however,  we 
do  not  believe  General  Harward's  claim  to  such  descent 
is  any  stronger  than  that  of  any  Harwood  or  person 
bearing  similar  name.  In  fact,  no  one  living  can  trace  his 
descent  from  Hereward  the  Saxon.  But  we  know  that 
families  of  our  name  have  dwelt  in  various  parts  of  Eng- 
land from  a  very  remote  period  ;  and  our  own  South  Dev- 
onshire Harwoods  are  as  likely  to  be  a  branch  of  the  Sax- 
on hero's  descendants  as  any.  But  whether  Saxon  or 
Norman  in  their  origin,  we  know  they  were  of  good  Eng- 
lish blood,  and  we  believe  that  the  various  families  of  the 
name  in  America  are  not  proving  themselves  unworthy  of 
the  ancestry  from  which  they  sprung.— W.  H.  H.  | 


Crests  and  Coats  of  Arms. 


These  family  emblems  have  been  worn  with  various  mod- 
ifications from  time  immemorial  in  countries  civilized  and 
savage.  They  are  not,  as  some  might  suppose,  employed 
for  mere  "idle  show,"  but  are  useful  and  necessary  in 
many  ways  which  I  have  not  here  space  to  explain. 
Through  the  generous  gift  of  Hon.  Charles  E.  Harwood 
and  son,  Charles  W.  Harwood,  Esq.,  of  Lynn,  Mass.,  and 
the  great  kindness  of  Daniel  Donovan,  Esq.,  of  the  same 
city,  who  is  an  acknowledged  authority  in  such  matters, 
we  are  enabled  to  present  the  members  of  our  family  with 
a  very  accurate  reproduction  in  colors  of  the  most  ancient 
Coat  of  Arms  worn  by  families  of  our  name  in  the  Mother 
Country.  This  will  appear  as  the  frontispieee  to  this 
work.  Also,  Mr.  Donovan  has  copied  for  us  the  descrip- 
tions of  nearly  twenty  modifications  of  this  ancient  family 
device,  as  worn  by  the  various  branches  of  the  name  in 
England.     Following  are  the  descriptions  :—

The  Harwood   Families 

Of  New  England. 


There  are  three  great  Families  or  Branches  of  the  New 
England  Harwoods.  I  am  well  aware  that  several  per- 
sons of  the  name  besides  the  ancestors  of  the  three  Fami- 
lies came  early  to  New  England,  but  they  either  left  no 
posterity  that  has  come  down  to  our  time,  or  they  were 
unmarried,  or  probably  in  the  case  of  some,  they  finally 
removed  to  some  colony  outside  of  New  England,  or 
returned  to  Old  England.  Certain  it  is,  that  after  4-0 
years  spent  in  genealogical  research  and  studies,  and  cor- 
respondence with  persons  of  our  name  in  all  parts  of  the 
United  States,  I  have  never  come  across  a  Harwood,  who 
was  of  New  England  origin  who  did  not  trace  his  lineage 
to  one  or  another  of  these  three  great  Families  of  the 
New  England  Harwoods. 
We  will  now  briefly  consider  each  of  these  Families: 
I.  THE  SALEM,"  MASSACHUSETTS,  FAMILY.  De- 
scended from  Henry  Harwood  and  Elizabeth,  his  wife,  who 
came  from  England  with  Governor  Winthrop,  in  1630. 
Thev  lived  for  a  little  time  in  Boston,  and  were  members 
of  the  church  there,  but  were  dismissed  in  1631,  to  help 
found  the  church  in  Charlestown.  Henry  Harwood  de- 
sired to  he  admitted  freeman,  Oct.  10,  1630,  and  took  the 
oath  of  freeman,  in  1633.  It  is  claimed  that  Henry  died 
about  1635,  his  Hie  having  been  shortened  by  extraordi- 


18  GENEALOGICAL   HISTORY. 

nary  suffering  in  a  storm,  mentioned  by  Winthropin  some 
of  his  writings.  There  was  a  Henry  Harwood  living  in 
Salem,  Mass.,  in  1638,  made  freeman,  Feb.  28,  1643,  died 
about  1664.  George  Harwood  and  Jane,  his  wife,  were 
living  in  Salem  in  1639.  He  was  a  carpenter,  and  had 
previously  lived  in  Boston.  He  had  a  son  John,  born  July 
4,  1639,  and  two  daughters.  This  George  Harwood  with 
his  family  and  41  others  from  Salem  and  Gloucester, 
Mass.,  removed  to  New  London,  Conn.,  in  1651,  being 
earl v  settlers  in  that  town.  In  1726,  a  John  Harwood 
died  in  New  London,  aged  23  years,  leaving  no  family, 
and  he  is  said  to  have  been  the  last  of  this  family  in  that 
place. 

Coming  back  now  to  Henry  and  Elizabeth  Harwood,  of 
Charlestown,  they  had  a  son,  John,  baptized  in  Boston, 

June  3,  1632.     He  married  Emma  ,  July  11,  1659. 

She  was  born  in  1628.  They  settled  in  that  part  of  Salem 
now  called  Peabody.  Their  children  were:  John,  born 
January  10,  1660,  died  young;  Jonathan,  born  .April  16, 
1662,  died  young;  John,  born  April  28,  1664;  Jonathan, 
born  June  18,  1666;  David,  born  June  23,  1668;  Alice, 
born  Nov.  28,  1672. 

From  this  family  have  descended  the  numerous  and  very 
respectable  families  of  our  name  who  early  lived  in  Salem, 
Danvers,  Charlton,  Barre,  Sutton  and  Oxford,  Mass. 

We  know  from  the  will  of  Henry  Harwood,  of  Salem, 
who  died  in  1664,  that  he  left  no  children.  There  was  a 
Henry  Harwood,  of  Boston  and  Salem,  who  was  by  occu- 
pation a  shoemaker,  who  by  his  wife,  Elizabeth,  had  five 
children,  born  at  Salem  between  the  years  1665  and  1674, 
but  the  record  says  this  family  "went  back  to  Boston. "  Still 
there  may  be  Harwood's  at  the  present  time  who  are  de- 
scendants of  this  last  mentioned  Henry.  If  so,  they  should 
be  numbered  with  the  Salem  Branch,  as  there  is  hardly 
roomfor  doubt  that  the  three  HenrvHarwoods  whoearlv 


THE    HARWOOD   FAMILIES   OF   NEW    ENGLAND.  19 

lived  in  Salem  were  near  of  kin — in  short,  the  last  men- 
tioned Henry  was  probably  a  son  of  the  Henry  who  came 
over  with  Governor  Winthrop,  although  we  have  no 
record  of  his  birth. 

Many  of  the  Salem  Branch  have  taken  a  lively  interest 
in  the  history  of  their  familv.  The}'  have  held  several 
Harwood  meetings,  to  which  they  have  invited  all  Har- 
woods,  whether  of  their  line  or  not.  Clayton  E.  Har- 
wood, of  Rockville,  Conn.,  has  done  much  work  in  com- 
piling the  records  of  his  ancestrv  and  kindred. 

Miss  Mary  Robinson  Harwood,  of  Salem,  has  also  done 
excellent  work  in  the  same  line. 

II.  THE  NATHANIEL  BRANCH.  Four  brothers, 
Thomas,  Robert,  John  and  Nathaniel  Harwood,  came 
early  to  Boston,  from  England.  A  sister,  Hannah,  came 
with  them. 

These  four  brothers  were  the  sons  of  John  Harwood,  of 
London.  It  is  thought  that  the  father  never  came  to 
America,  or,  if  he  came,  returned  later  to  England. 

1.  Thomas  Harwood,  was  born  in  England,  in  1623, 
died  in  Boston,  January  5,  1707,  aged  84  years.  He  mar- 
ried Rachel  widow  of  Robert  Woodward,  Julv  7,  1654. 
There  were  born  unto  them  six  children,  but  nearlv  all 
died  young,  and  Benjamin,  who  married,  left  only  a 
daughter. 

2.  Robert  Harwood,  born   in    England.     He   married, 

about  1671,  Joanna .     They  had  one  son,  Thomas, 

born  Jaunary  31,  1673.  He  died  in  early  manhood.  Rob- 
ert Harwood  was  a  "biscake  baker"  by  occupation.  He 
died  about  1676. 

3.  John  Harwood,  born  in  England.  He  married  Eliz- 
abeth   •.  Their  children  born  in  Boston,  were:  Eliz- 
abeth, born  March  13,  1650;  Hezekiah,  born  April  27, 
1653,  died  young;  Hannah,  born  March  6,  1655,  and 
Anna,  born  Aug.  26,  1657.     They  had  alsoason,  John,  as 


20  GENEALOGICAL   HISTORY. 

we  learn  from  existing  records  that  the  father  of  the 
family,  who  was  a  merchant  in  Boston,  sold  his  estate  in 
1657,  and  went  back  to  England,  but  his  son  John  re- 
mained in  Boston,  carrying  on  business  under  the  direction 
of  his  father  who  was  of  London,  England 
4.     Nathaniel  Harwood,  born  in  England,  in  1626.     He 

married  Elizabeth .     They  resided  in  Boston,  until 

after  1665,  when  they  removed  to  Concord,  Mass.  Na- 
thaniel was  by  trade  a  cordwainer.  The  children  of  Na- 
thaniel and  Elizabeth  Harwood  were: 

1.  William,  born  in  Boston,  March  28, 1665.  He  mar- 
ried Esther,  daughter  of  Obadiah  Perry,  of  Dunstable, 
May  11,  1692.  They  lived  in  Dunstable,  where  he  was 
quite  a  prominent  man.  Their  children  were:  John,  born 
May  28,  16£9,  who  served  under  Capt.  Lovewell  and  was 
killed  in  the  Pigwacket  Fight,  May  8,  1725;  Thomas, 
born  1702  and  was  quite  a  man  of  affairs  in  Dunstable ; 
and  six  daughters. 

2.  Nathaniel,  born  in  Concord,  Mass.,  Oct.  1,  1669, 
married  and  has  descendants. 

3.  Pexer,  born  in  Concord,  January  12, 1671.  He  mar- 
ried Mary  Fox,  Nov.  7,  1700.  He  became  the  ancestor  of 
numerous  families  of  Harwoods  in  Massachusetts.  One 
of  these  families  were  among  the  first  settlers  of  Benning- 
ton, Vt.  The  children  of  Peter  and  Mary  Harwood  were: 
Nathaniel,  born  1701;  John,  born  1703;  Mary,  born 
1705;  Joseph,  born  1707;  Hannah,  born  1709  ;  Benjamin, 
born  1713,  and  Ebenezer,  born  1714. 

4.  John,  born  in  Concord,  Feb.  8,  1674. 

5.  Mary,  born  in  Concord,  Feb.  5,  1676. 
Nathaniel  Harwood  died  in  Concord,  Feb.  1716,  aged 

90  years.     His  wife,  Elizabeth,  died  April  25,  1715. 

There  have  not  been  found  wanting  among  the  descend- 
ants of  Nathaniel  and  Elizabeth  Harwood,  able  and  en- 
thusiastic genealogists.     As  early   as   1837,    Mrs.   Sarah 


THE    HARWOOD   FAMILIES   OF   NEW    ENGLAND.  21 

Harwood  Robinson,  of  the  Bennington,  Vt.,  line,  compiled 
and  published  the  records  of  the  descendants  of  Peter  Har- 
wood, of  Concord,  Mass.,  son  of  the  first  Nathaniel.  The 
late  Myron  W.  Harwood,  of  Springfield,  Mass.,  probably 
did  more  than  anvone  of  our  name  has  ever  done  in  col- 
lecting records  of  all  the  Harwoods  in  America.  The  late 
Dr.  E.  V.  N.  Harwood,  of  Rutland,  Vt.,  Herbert  J.  Har- 
wood, of  Littleton,  Mass.,  and  Fred  H.  Harwood,  of 
Chicago,  111.,  have  each  accomplished  much  in  gathering 
records  of  their  ancestry  and  kindred.  It  would  be  a 
grand  work  for  some  one  in  each  of  these  great  families  of 
New  England  Harwoods,  as  well  as  in  the  great  Southern 
Families  of  our  name,  to  arrange  these  materials,  gath- 
ered at  such  great  cost  of  time,  effort  and  money,  and 
issue  them  in  permanent  book  form.  But  let  all  remember 
that  one  man  or  one  woman  cannot  well  do  this  work 
alone.  It  is  something  each  member  of  the  Branch  having 
its  history  published,  should  freely  and  cheerfully  forward 
both  by  furnishing  promptly  all  information  and  records 
the  compiler  may  lack,  and  by  contributing  money  liber- 
ally to  meet  the  expense  of  publication.  If  some  one  in 
your  Branch  undertakes  this  work,  do  all  in  your  power 
to  assist  and  encourage  him.  You  have  just  as  much  in- 
terest in  the  Family  to  which  you  belong  as  he  has — at 
least  you  ought  to  have  as  much.  Let  us  hope  to  see  ere 
long  a  volume  published  of  each  of  the  three  great  New- 
England  Branches,  and  also  of  the  great  Virginia  and 
Maryland  Harwood  Families  in  the  South. 

We  now  come  to  the  third  of  the  great  Branches  of  the 
New  England  Harwoods. 

III.  THE  DESCENDANTS  OF  ANDREW  HARWOOD, 
of  Dartmouth,  England,  and  Boston,  Mass. 

The  records  of  his  descendants  will  be  found  in  the  bodv 
of  this  work. 


The  Harwood  Families 

Of  Virginia  and  Maryland 


Families  of  our  name  were  settled  in  Virginia  at  an 
early  period  in  the  history  of  the  Colony.  One  of  the  first 
was  Thomas  Harwood,  who  came  in  1622,  in  the  Marga- 
ret and  John.  He  was  a  member  of  the  House  of  Bur- 
gesses, and  a  prominent  man  in  the  Colony.  Then  there 
was  Augustine,  and  William,  and  Paule,  and  Ralph,  and 
Richard,  and  Robert,  and  Arthur,  and  George,  and  prob- 
ably still  others  of  the  name,  all  early  in  Virginia. 

The  Harwoods,  too,  were  early  settled  in  Maryland. 
One  of  the  most  prominent  families  of  the  name  in  Mary- 
land is  that  descended  from  Richard  Harwood,  who  came 
of  an  excellent  family  in  England.  He  settled  in  Anne 
Arundel  County,  Maryland,  prior  to  the  year  1698.  But 
there  were  families  of  the  name  in  Maryland  long  before 
the  coming  of  Richard.  The  descendants  of  the  early  Vir- 
ginia and  Maryland  Harwoods  are  numerous,  and  we 
hope  that  the  records  of  these  important  branches  may 
soon  be  compiled  and  published. 


iTSON     H.     HARWOOD.     M.    D  and  son  WESLEY     B.     HARWOOD 


First  Generation. 


Andrew  Harwood  was  born  in  England,  and  belonged 
to  a  family  that  had  long  been  settled  in  the  southern  part 
of  Devonshire.  The  earliest  record  we  have  of  him  is  con- 
tained in  the  will  of  his  cousin,  or  kinsman,  Stephen  Har- 
wood, of  St.  Saviours,  Dartmouth,  Devon,  cooper,  who 
was  dying  ot  the  plague  at  the  time  his  will  was  made. 
This  will  was  dated  Sept.  5,  1627,  and  "proved  Nov.  16, 
1627,  in  the  Court  of  the  Archdeacon  of  Totnes,  bv  Grace 
Mann,  sister,  and  one  of  the  executrices  and  residuary 
legatees,  power  being  reserved  to  Ester,  the  daughter  of 
Kinsman  Andrew  Harwood,  the  other  executrix  and  re- 
siduary legatee." 

"  The  Testator  desired  to  be  buried  in  the  churchyard  of 
St.  Savers.     And  he  gave  to  :— 

Poor  of  St.  Savers,  12d.

24  GENEALOGICAL   HISTORY. 

No  signature,  mark,  or  seal— "  Witnesses :  Anthony 
Stavely  and  James  Coke." 

Bond  by  Andrew  Horwood,  of  Dartmouth,  cooper,  and 
John  Beere,  of  the  same,  Tayler,  in  £50,  dated  16  Nov., 
1627,  both  made  marks.  The  bond  states  that  the  execu- 
trix Grace  Mann,  was  the  wife  of  William  Mann. 

March  14,  1628:  "Exhibited  Inventory  of  the  Goods 
of  Stephen  Harwood,  of  Dartmouth,  cooper,  taken  by  John 
Beere  and  William  Pethibridge,  and  dated  10  Feb.,  1628, 
£30:  6:  2  (which  included  musket,  bandaleere,  and  a 
sword  12s.,  musket  rest  6d.,  and  a  Bible  6s|".  Then  fol- 
lows: "  Things  yet  in  ye  custodie  of  her  which  served  him 
in  ye  pest  house,"  which  brought  the  bal.  to  £37:  3:  2,  or 
really  £37:  3:  8. 

In  the  above  will  Harwood  is  in  everv  instance  spelled 
Horwood,  but  in  the  Inventory  it  is  Harwood.  In  those 
days  the  name  was  written  Harwood,  Horwood,  and 
Harward,  these  variations  being  often  found  in  the  same 
register  or  document. 

The  next  mention  we  have  of  our  ancestor,  Andrew 
Harwood,  is  in  the  record  of  the  baptisms  of  his  two 
younger  children,  Hannah  and  Samuel,  in  the  Parish  Reg- 
isters of  St.  Saviours,  Dartmouth. 

Sometime,  not  far  from  1640,  our  ancestor  immigrated 
to  America.  It  is  certain  that  not  all  of  his  children  came 
with  him,  but  one,  Mrs.  Thomas  Finson,  (who  may  have 
been  the  "Ester"  mentioned  in  Stephen  Harwood's  will} 
must  have  accompanied  him,  as  they  were  living  together 
in  Boston,  Mass.,  in  1644;  and  possibly  one  or  two  others 
naay  also  have  come  with  him. 

The  earliest  record  we  have  of  our  ancestor  in  New 
England  is  that  he  was  made  freeman  in  Boston,  Feb.  28, 
1643.  In  Nov.  1644,  we  find  his  name  mentioned  in  the 
will  of  his  son-in-law,  Thomas  Finson,  which  reads  as  fol- 
lows:    "  Whereas  Thomas  ffinson,  mariner,  late  of  dart- 


FIRST  GENERATION.  25 

mouth,  dyed  abord  the  shipp  Gilbert,  in  September  last, 
Oades  Bayle  being  present,  the  said  ffinson  by  word  of 
mouth  declared  this  to  be  his  last  will  and  testament,  as 
followeth:  Imprimis,  to  his  sonne  Samuel  fyve  pounds  of 
English  money;  Item,  tohischild  that  his  wife  went  with- 
all  fifty  shillings;  Item,  to  his  wife  one  Hogshead  of  To- 
bacco; Item,  to  his  ffather-in-lawe,  Andrew  Harwood,  all 
his  wages.  And,  farther  his  will  was  that  the  fifty  shil- 
lings for  the  young  child  and  the  hogshead  of  Tobacco 
for  his  wife  should  be  delivered  to  Andrew  Harwood  for 
the  use  aforesaid." 

"Deposed  the  first  of  the  9th  month,  1644,  by  Oades 
Bayle  before  the  Court,  and  made  a  matter  of  record  in 
Boston,  April  23,  164-5." 

The  last  mention  we  have  of  our  ancestor  is  in  connec- 
tion with  a  legal  controversy  going  on  between  two  of 
his  neighbors,  Christopher  Lawson  and  Thomas  Beard. 
A  record  was  made  of  this  by  William  Aspenwall,  a  no- 
tary public  of  Boston.     This  was  in  September,  1645. 

There  is  little  doubt  that  Andrew  Harwood  remained 
with  his  daughter,  Mrs.  Finson,  till  his  death.  The  Fin- 
sons  became  a  fairly  numerous  family  in  Massachusetts, 
the  earlier  generations  living  in  Gloucester. 


Second  Generation. 


Children  of  Andrew  Haewood,  No.  1.  All  born  in 
Dartmouth,  England. 

2.  Esther,  one  ot"  the  executrices  of  Stephen  Har- 
wood's  will.  She  may  have  been  the  one  who  afterward 
married  Thomas  Finson. 

3.  Andrew,  died  and  his  burial  is  recorded  Oct.  16, 
1626. 

4.  Nicholas,  married  Maria  Ameredith,  Feb.  16, 
1639.     They  resided  in  Dartmouth. 

5.  William,  mentioned  in  Stephen  Harwood's  will. 

6.  John,  died  and  his  burial  is  recorded  Aug.  28,  1627. 

7.  Andrew,  probably  born  in  1627.  He  married  Eliz- 
abeth Bowdon,  at  Dartmouth,  July  4,  1648.  They  re- 
moved to  Stepney,  a  suburb  of  London.  It  would  appear 
that  after  a  few  years  he  went  to  America,  where  he  died 
in  the  early  part  of  the  year  3?659.  It  is  probable  that 
his  wife  and  children  remained  at  Stepney.  In  the  Lon- 
don records  we  find  that  Edmond  Pike  was  appointed 
curator,  Aug.  1,  1659,  "to  Sarah,  Margaret  and  James 
Harwood,  minors,  children  of  Andrew  Harwood,  late  in 
ye  Virginia,  [New  England  was  a  part  of  Virginia,  in 
early  colonial  times]  in  parts  beyond  ye  seas,  deceased," 
and  Dec.  12,  1659,  administration  was  granted  to  Eliza- 
beth Harwood,  "relict  of  Andrew  Harwood,  of  Stepney, 
but  in  parts  bevond  ye  seas,  deceased."  From  the  infor- 
mation we  possess  it  would   look   as  if  Andrew  visited 


SECOND  GENERATION.  27 

America    with  a  view  of  later  bringing  his  familv  there, 
but  died  before  carrying  out  his  plan. 

8.  Hannah,  baptized  Jan.  17,  1629. 

9.  Samuel,  baptized  Oct,  7,  1632,  died  Sept.  1633. 
(In  the  above  list  of  Andrew  Harwood's  children,  it  is 

not  at  all  certain  that  I  have  them  arranged  in  the   exact 
order  of  their  ages.  ) 


Third  Generation. 


Children  of  Nicholas  Harwood,  No.  4-.  All  born  in 
Dartmouth,  England.

15.  Margaret,  a  minor  in  1659. 

16.  James,  born  probably  about  1655.  He  came  early 
to  Boston,  Mass.  He  entered  the  Colonial  army  in  King 
Philip's  war,  and  served  in  Capt.  William  Turner's  com- 
pany. On  the  19th  of  May,  1676,  occurred  what  has 
since  been  known  as  Falls  Fight  on  the  Connecticut  River. 
Capt.  Turner  with  his  men  surprised  the  Indians  in  the 
early  morning  at  a  place  of  swift  water,  where  they  were 
camped  for  the  purpose  of  fishing,  and  in  the  fight  which 
followed  between  two  and  three  hundred  Indians  were 
slain.  James  Harwood 's  residence  is  given  at  this  time 
as  at  Chelmsford,  Mass.  He  married  Lydia  Barrett, 
daughter  of  John  and  Sarah  Barrett,  at  Chelmsford,  Apr. 
11,  1678.  She  was  born  in  Chelmsford,  Sept.  22,  1659. 
John  Barrett  was  the  eldest  son  of  Thomas  Barrett,  who 
came  from  England  to  America,  about  1635,  and  settled 
at  Braintree,  Mass.,  and  later  lived  in  Chelmsford.    John 


THIRD   GENERATION.  29 

was  born  in  England,  died  at  Chelmsford,  1706.     He  was 
a  soldier  in  King  Philip's  war. 

Mr.  and  Mrs.  James  Harwood  continued  to  reside  in 
Chelmsford  until  about  1717,  when  they  removed  to  Lit- 
tleton, Mass.  We  learn  from  an  old  record  that  "James 
Harwood,  of  Littleton,  tray-maker,  gave  Apr.  3,  1719,  a 
quit-claim  deed  to  Jonathan  Prescott,  Jr.,  of  Concord,  to 
land  said  Harwood  had  in  Littleton  by  virtue  of  a  grant 
from  the  General  Court."  This  grant  of  land  was  doubt- 
less what  had  led  the  family  to  settle  in  Littleton.  Mr. 
Harwood  died  Aug.  1,  1719. 


Fourth  Generation. 


Children  of  James  Harwood,  No.  16.  All  born  in 
Chelmsford,   Mass. 

17.  Andrew,  born  Sept.  2,  1692.  He  probably  died 
young. 

18.  Abigail,  twin  sister  to  Andrew,  died  Sept.  1,  1695. 

19.  James,  born  Sept.  30,  1695.  He  removed  with  his 
father  to  Littleton,  Mass.,  in  1717.  We  find  in  the  records 
at  East  Cambridge,  Mass.,  that  the  "  Littleton  Commit- 
tee," consisting  of  Eleazur  Lawrence,  of  Groton,  Isaac 
Powers,  of  Littleton,  and  Jonathan  Prescott,  of  Concord, 
deeded  to  James  Harwood  in  1717,  "upland  which 
bounded  on  Groton  line."  He  also  bought  land  in 
"Sandv  Meadow."  In  1722,  James  Harwood,  of  Little- 
ton, sold  to  Isaac  Powers,  of  the  same  town,  "all  my 
labor  done  by  me  on  a  certain  place  lying  and  being  near 
the  meeting  house  and  adjoining  the  Pound,  and  all  right 
to  the  same,  by  virtue  of  Court's  Grant  to  those  who 
were  settled  at  the  time  of  the  Court's  Grant."  In  1727, 
James  Harwood  and  wife  Lydia,  and  brother  John,  sold 
their  land  in  Littleton  to  Samuel  Barrett,  Jr.,  of  Little- 
ton: "  Fifty  acres  of  land,  upland  and  lowland,  beginning 
at  the  tree  standing  in  Groton  bounds;  also,  land  in 
Sandy  Meadow."  "Consideration  £160."  On  the  part 
of  Mrs.  Harwood,  the  deed  reads:  "And  Lydia  Har- 
wood, the  wife  of  me  the  said  James  Harwood,  doth  by 
these  presents,  freely,  Willing  give,  yield  up,  and  Surren- 


FOURTH  GENERATION.  31 

der  all  her  Rights  of  Dowry  and  power  of  thirds  in  and 
unto  the  above  said  Samuel  Barrett,  his  Heirs  and  As- 
signs." In  1731,  James  Harwood  was  living  and  owned 
a  farm  in  that  part  of  Groton,  Mass.,  that  is  now  in  the 
town  of  Harvard.  In  1735,  the  General  Court  of  Massa- 
chusetts acknowledged  the  perilous  service  rendered  bv 
the  men  engaged  in  Falls  Fight,  by  granting  a  township 
of  land  to  the  survivors  of  the  fight  and  to  the  descendants 
of  those  who  had  died.  This  township  located  at  the 
place  of  the  fight  was  first  called  Fallstown,  but  is  now 
Bernardston,  Mass.  In  the  case  of  those  who  had  died, 
the  eldest  son  living  was  entitled  to  a  portion  of  land. 
The  lot  in  our  family  falling  to  James,  he  in  May,  1737, 
drew  lot  No.  44-,  First  Division.  (  His  residence  at  this 
time  is  given  as  Concord,  Mass.)  He  did  not  however, 
settle  upon  the  land  he  had  drawn,  but  was  soon  after 
living  in  Groton— if  indeed  he  had  not  all  along  been  a  res- 
ident of  Groton  after  selling  his  land  in  Litleton,  in  1727. 
The  conditions  of  the  grant  above  mentioned  required 
that  at  least  sixty  families  should  settle  in  the  new  town- 
ship within  tour  years  after  the  grant  was  made.  Accord- 
ingly, in  1739,  an  effort  was  made  to  fill  up  the  number. 
Some  of  the  absent  proprietors  responded  to  the  call; 
others,  rather  than  go,  chose  to  pay  22  pounds  each, 
which  went  towards  making  improvements  in  the  new 
town.  Our  ancestor  was  of  the  latter  number.  March 
18,  1739,  he  sold  his  right  to  the  land  he  had  drawn  in 
Fallstown.  Abstract  of  deed:  "James  Harwood,  Gro- 
ton, Husbandman,  to  Thomas  Reed,  Westford,  Gentleman: 
One  Right  granted  recently  to  officers  and  soldiers  in  the 
fight  with  the  Indians  at  the  Falls.  This  Right  to  my 
honored  father,  James  Harwood,  who  was  one  of  the  sol- 
diers, and  I  being  the  son  and  heir  of  said  James  Har- 
wood, deceased."  "Deed  passed  Mar.  IS,  1739.  Ac- 
knowledged  July    17,    1740.      Recorded   Dec.    16,    1740. 


32  GENEALOGICAL   HISTORY. 

Witnessed  by  Eunice  Harwood  and  Moses  Whitney." 
Soon  after  this,  James  Harwood  settled  in  that  part  of 
the  old  township  of  Dunstable  which  is  now  Nashua, 
N.  H.  In  174-7,  we  find  his  name  in  a  list  of  those,  against 
settling  the  Rev.  Samuel  Bird  as  pastor  in  Dunstable. 
Again,  in  1754,  we  find  his  name  attached  to  a  petition 
for  dividing  the  Province  of  New  Hampshire  into  coun- 
ties. 

20.  John,  twin  brother  to  James,  died  in  infancy. 

21.  Abigail,  born  May  18,  1699. 

22.  John,  born  May  27,  1703.  As  we  have  already 
noted,  he  signed  the  deed  with  his  brother  James  when 
thev  sold  their  land  in  Littleton,  in  1727.  A  year  or  two 
later,  he  married  Mary  Powers,  who  belonged  to  one  of 
the  early  families  of  Littleton,  and  some  members  of  which 
became  large  landowners  in  Lambstown  (Hardwick), 
Mass.,  and  were  among  the  early  settlers  there.  (The  fa- 
mous sculptor,  Hiram  Powers,  was  descended  from  the 
same  line).  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Harwood  were  livingin Lambs- 
town  as  early  as  1735,  or  earlier.  That  part  of  Massa- 
chusetts was  then  a  new  country,  just  beginning  to  be 
settled,  and  in  the  running  of  the  line  between  Massa- 
chusetts and  Connecticut  it  had  received  the  name  of  the 
"Manor  of  Peace."  We  have  records  of  many  business 
transactions  in  which  Mr.  Harwood  was  concerned.  Dec. 
9,  1736,  he  sold  to  Joseph  Allen,  of  Lambstown,  one  hun- 
dred acres  of  land.  Nov.  3,  1737,  he  sold  to  Timothy  Rug- 
gles,  of  Plymouth  County,  Mass.,  "one-half  of  10th  lott, 
in  9th  range  from  ye  River,  being  originally  TweicheH's 
draught,  and  was  a  settler's  lott."  Jan.  3,  1737,  he  sold 
35  acres  to  David  White,  of  Lambstown,  "being  a  part  of 
Lot  17,  2nd  range,  west  of  Ware  River."  Apr.  11,  1739, 
Mr.  Harwood  purchased  of  Eben  Holden,  of  Lambstown, 
land  in  Ouabbin  (Greenwich),  Mass.  "Consideration 
£21."     In  1739,  he  purchased  one  hundred  acres   of  Na- 


FOURTH  GENERATION.  33 

thaniel  Kellogg,  of  Hadley,  Mass.  In  1742,  "John  Har- 
wood, of  Quabbin,  conveyed  to  Samuel  Owen,  sixty 
acres,"  "where  I,  John  Harwood,  now  dwell."  Consid- 
eration £450.  From  this  latter  record,  it  seems  that  Mr. 
Harwood  had  now  with  his  family  moved  into  present 
Greenwich.  Jan.  17,  1751,  Nathan  Fiske,  of  Quabbin, 
conveyed  to  John  Harwood,  of  the  Manor  of  Peace, 
Hampshire  County,  50  acres  in  Quabbin,  consideration 
£40.  July  23,  1752,  John  Harwood,  of  "  Ware  River  Pre- 
cinct, Husbandman,"  mortgaged  152  acres  of  "land  in 
Ware,  where  I  now  live,"  to  John  Merritt,  merchant  of 
Providence,  R.  I.  "  This  property  adjoins  the  Greenwich 
town  line."  About  1740,  John  Harwood,  of  Quabbin, 
was  having  financial  troubles.  There  were  land  sharks  in 
those  days,  as  in  later  times,  and  many  records  are  extant 
of  the  trials  John  and  some  of  his  neighbors  suffered  from 
them.  It  was  a  constant  struggle  with  law  suits  and 
debts  from  1740  to  1757,  then  the  writ  of  ejectment  came. 
Not  until  about  1759,  were  these  troubles  finallv  settled. 


Fifth  Generation. 


Children  of  James  Harwood,  No.  19. 

23.  Andrew,  born  in  Littleton,  Mass.,  July  5,  1722. 

24.  Eunice,  born  in  Littleton,  March  21,  1724.  She 
was  one  of  the  witnesses  to  the  deed  her  father  gave  Mr. 
Reed,  in  1739.  She  married,  probably,  Benjamin  Dayis, 
and  after  1750,  they  lived  in  Amherst,  N.  H. 

25.  Mary,  born  in  Littleton,  June  6,  1726. 

26.  John,  born  probably  in  Groton,  Mass.,  between 
the  years  1728  and  1734.  His  early  manhood  was  spent 
in  Dunstable,  N.  H.  He  was  one  of  the  signers  of  the  peti- 
tion, in  1754,  for  dividing  the  Province  of  New  Hampshire 
into  counties.  He  enlisted  from  Dunstable  to  serve  in  the 
old  French  and  Indian  war.  His  name  is  on  a  "Muster 
Roll  of  the  troops  employed  in  his  Majesty's  service  on 
the  Merrymac  River,  in  1754,  under  command  of  Col. 
Joseph  Blanchard,  and  by  him  posted  under  proper  offi- 
cers agreeable  to  his  Excellency's  orders."  He  served  in 
the  same  regiment  in  1755.  Later  on  he  served  in  one  of 
the  famous  companies  of  Rangers  under  Major  Robert 
Rogers,  which  were  made  up  largely  of  New  Hampshire 
men  and  rendered  most  effective  service  on  the  English 
side  in  that  long  struggle  with  the  French  for  supremacy 
in  North  America.  As  early  as  1760,  John  Harwood  was 
living  in  Amherst,  N.  H.  I  have  no  record  of  his  first  wife, 
only  that  she  died  leaving  one  child— a  daughter.  About 
1766,  he  married  Abigail  Hastings,  daughter  of  William

FIFTH   GENERATION-  35 

and  Ruth  ( Grimes  I  Hastings,  of  Amherst,  and  they  set- 
tled on  a  farm  in  that  part  of  Amherst,  which  many  years 
after  (in  1804),  was  formed  into  the  town  of  Mont  Ver- 
non.    Air.  Harwood  died  about  1812. 

27.  James,  born  about  1736,  probably  at  Groton, 
Mass.  When  a  mere  child  his  parents  removed  to  Dun- 
stable, N.  H.,  and  he  grew  up  inured  to  all  the  hardships 
and  privations  of  early  pioneer  life  in  New  England.     In 

1754,  he  signed  the  petition  for  dividing  the  Province  of 
New  Hampshire  into  counties.  (  His  name  appears  on  this 
paper  as  "James  Harwood,  Jr.")  He  early  entered  the 
service  of  his  country  as  a  soldier— a  life  that  he  followed 
ever  afterwards  as  opportunity  offered.  His  first  service 
was  in  Capt.  James  Todd's  company,  Col.  Peter  Oilman's 
regiment,  which  was  raised  to  reinforce  the  expedition  of 

1755,  against  Crown  Point,  then  the  place  from  which  for 
many  years  the  Indians  in  the  French  interest  had  been 
fitted  out  to  raid  the  English  settlements  on  the  frontiers. 
His  enlistment  in  this  service  bears  date  Sept.  22,  1755, 
and  his  discharge  Dec.  1st,  of  the  same  year.  His  next 
service  was  in  one  of  the  famous  companies  of  Rogers' 
Rangers  with  his  brother,  John  Harwood.  Mr.  Fox,  in 
his  History  of  Dunstable,  says  of  John  and  James  Har- 
wood and  other  Dunstable  men:  "  They  were  out  during 
the  war."  The  next  record  we  have  of  James  Harwood 
is  his  enlistment  March  18,  1760,  in  Capt.  Nehemiah 
Lovewell's  company,  Col.  John  Goffe's  regiment.  This 
regiment  of  800  men  rendezvoused  at  Litchfield  (on  the 
opposite  side  of  the  Merrimac  River  from  Dunstable),  and 
marched  to  Charleston;  then  cutting  a  road  through  the 
wilderness  26  miles  to  the  Green  Mountains,  thence  to 
Crown  Point,  and  from  there  they  followed  the  road  cut 
by  the  Rangers  the  previous  year  into  Canada.  Air. 
Fox  says  of  this  company  and  regiment:  "Col.  Goffe's 
destination  was  Crown  Point  and  Canada.    A  select  com- 


36  GENEALOGICAL    HISTORY. 

pany  of  Rangers  was  formed  from  the  regiment  and  the 
command  given  to  Capt.  Nehemiah  Lovewell  of  this  town." 
Mr.  Fox  further  says  of  Col.  Goil'e's  regiment:  "They  were 
present  at  the  capture  of  St.  John's,  Chamblee,  .Montreal 
and  Quebec,  which  wrested  all  Canada  from  France,  and 
put  an  end  to  the  war."  Our  ancestor's  service,  then  in 
the  old  French  and  Indian  war  covered  a  period  of  five 
vears.  The  beginning  of  the  Revolutionary  contest  found 
him  as  ready  to  risk  his  life  in  the  cause  of  the  American 
Colonies  as  he  had  been  to  fight  the  battles  of  the  Mother 
Country.  He  was  already  enrolled  in  Capt.  William 
Walker's  company,  Col.  James  Reed's  regiment,  having 
enlisted  as  a  "Minute  Man,"  May  2,  1775,  when  the 
news  flew  from  town  to  town  throughout  all  New  Eng- 
land that  blood  had  been  shed  at  Lexington.  The  New 
Hampshire  men  needed  no  second  invitation.  Capt.  Wal- 
ker's company,  made  up  of  oue-half  the  able  bodied  men 
of  Dunstable,  hastened  to  the  scene  of  conflict,  and  at 
Bunker  Hill  "  they  lought  with  great  bravery."  After  the 
battle  the  New  Hampshire  troops  under  Cols.  Stark  and 
Reed  remained  stationed  during  the  summer  and  autumn 
of  1775,  at  Winter  Hill  near  Boston.  The  next  year, 
1776,  James  Harwood  with  other  Dunstable  men  served 
in  Capt.  Daniel  Wilkins'  company,  Col.  Timothy  Bedell's 
regiment,  which  was  formed  to  defend  the  frontier,  and 
was  stationed  for  a  time  in  a  fort  called  "The  Cedars,"  at 
Isle  Aux  Noix,  in  Canada.  April  7,  1777,  James  Har- 
wood, enlisted  for  three  years  in  the  First  New  Hampshire 
Regiment,  under  the  command  of  Col.  Joseph  Cilley,  in  the 
company  of  Capt.  Amos  Emerson.  The  description  of 
James  Harwood  at  this  time  was:  "Residence,  Dun- 
stable; age,  +0  years;  height,  6  feet;  complexion,  hair  and 
eyes,  dark."  During  the  months  of  May  and  June  Col. 
Cilley's  regiment  was  at  and  in  the  vicinity  of  Ticonde- 
roga.     Burgoyne  with  his  large  and  well  equipped  army 


FIFTH   GENERATION.  37 

had  marched  down  from  Quebec  with  the  avowed  purpose 
of  opening  a  communication  between  New  York  City  and 
Canada,  and  thus  cut  off  New  England  from  the  other 
colonies,  and  crush  the  efforts  of  the  Americans  to  obtain 
their  independence.  For  a  time  the  British  pursued  the 
Americans  hither  and  thither— they  were  driven  out  of 
Ticonderoga,  made  a  stand  at  Hubbardton,  Vt.,but  were 
defeated  with  terrible  loss  and  the  survivors  of  their  lit- 
tle army  scattered  and  disheartened.  It  was  on  this  re- 
treat that  our  ancestor,  James  Harwood,  became  separa- 
ted from  his  company,  and  was  reported  "missing"— some 
records  give  it  that  he  was  killed.  He  had  yet,  however, 
to  take  brave  part  in  several  battles  for  his  country  be- 
fore his  lifework  should  be  completed.  Bennington  is 
ahead,  and  the  defeated  and  scattered  Americans  are 
rallying  again  to  their  standards;  Gen.  Burgoyne  is  to  be 
taught  a  bitter  lesson— one  which  will  prepare  him  for  his 
complete  overthrow  at  Saratoga.  Old  soldiers  like  our 
ancestor,  who  had  seen  nearly  eight  years  (in  both  wars) 
of  terrible  warfare,  were  there;  their  sons,  boys  of  16  to  18 
years,  were  standing  shoulder  to  shoulder  with  their  sires; 
but  an  even  more  inspiring  sight  were  the  Vermont  far- 
mers, ununitbrmed,  some  of  them  scarcely  armed  except 
with  pitchforks  and  other  rude  weapons,  come  out  to 
fight  a  powerful  and  disciplined  foe.  But  these  invaders 
were  hirelings  with  no  great  cause  to  defend;  the  men 
who  opposed  them  had  everything  at  stake,  their  homes, 
their  wives  and  children,  their  lives.  No  one  need  ask, 
who  won  at  Bennington?  Then  came  good  news  from 
Fort  Schuyler,  followed  by  the  still  greater  victory  for  the 
Americans  at  Stillwater.  This  last  fight  was  on  the  19th 
of  September,  and  Oct.  7th  was  fought  the  battle  of  Sara- 
toga, in  which  the  Americans  were  completelv  victorious, 
and  pressing  from  all  sides  on  their  enemy,  Burgovne  with 
his  atmv  was  compelled  to  surrender  ten  davs  later.    Col. 


38  GENEALOGICAL  HISTORY. 

Cillev's  regiment  took  a  valiant  part  in  the  battles  of  Still- 
water and  Saratoga — no  regiment  did  more  effective  fight- 
ing. An  Englishman,  Sir  Edw'd  Creasy,  in  his  book  publish- 
ed in  London,  1851,  entitled  the  "Fifteen  Decisive  Battles 
of  the  World,  from  Marathon  to  Waterloo,"  singles  out 
the  battle  of  Saratoga  as  one  of  the  fifteen.  Surely  those 
whose  ancestors  took  brave  part  in  this  battle  must  feel 
a  just  pride  in  the  fact.  The  battle  over,  the  American 
soldiers  hastened  southward  to  aid  their  sorely  pressed 
compatriots  who  were  under  the  immediate  command  of 
Washington.  They  reached  White  Marsh,  thirteen  miles 
from  Philadelphia,  Nov.  21, 1777.  And  here  our  ancestor 
reached  the  end  of  his  earthly  career,  dying  in  the  army, 
tradition  says  of  small  pox,  Dec.  1,  1777.  He  was  a 
good  soldier,  a  loyal  patriot,  and  every  inch  a  man. 

James  Harwood  married  about  1757,  Mary  Clogston, 
a  daughter  of  John  and  Miranda  (Glasford)  Clogston, 
whose  marriage  July  10,  1740,  by  the  Rector  of  King's 
Chapel,  Boston  is  recorded  in  the  records  of  that  church. 
Miranda  Glasford  was  a  daughter  of  John  Glasford,  who 
seems  first  to  have  settled  in  Boston,  and  afterwards 
lived  in  Leicester  and  Palmer,  Mass.  John  and  Miranda 
Clogston  resided  in  Dunstable,  N.  H  ,  where  he  died  about 
1787.  The  Clogstons  were  a  well-to-do  family  in  Dun- 
stable, and  while  they  owned  at  one  time  colored  slaves, 
they  became  early  "abolitionists,"  as  witness  the  follow- 
ing curious  and  interesting  document,  which  is  still  pre- 
served in  the  Hillsborough  County  Registry  of  Deeds, 
Nashua,  N.  EL,  Vol.  3,  page  630:  "Know  all  men  by 
these  presents  that  I,  John  Clogston,  of  Dunstable,  in  the

case  I  am  free  from  the  charge  of  bringing  them  up.  In 
witness,  my  hand  and  seal  this  20th  day  of  June,  1774. 
Signed,  sealed  and  delivered  in  presence  of  Esther  Clog- 
ston  and  Jonathan  Lovewell,  By  John  Clogston  and  wife. 
Acknowledged  before  Robert  Fletcher,  J.  P.,  July  7,  1774, 
and  recorded  Apr.  4,  1775."  In  another  paper  executed 
later,  John  Clogston  makes  further  provision  for  Fan 
Dickerson  and  her  children,  which  shows  him  to  have 
been  a  very  generous  and  humane  man.  The  Clogston 
and  Glasford  families  were  both  of  Scotch  origin,  some  of 
their  descendants  claiming  that  they  came,  one  or  both, 
direct  from  Scotland  to  New  England;  others,  that  they 
came  here  from  the  North  of  Ireland.  Certain  it  is  that  in 
the  Probate  and  Surrogate  offices  of  Edinburg,  Glascow 
and  St.  Andrew,  Scotland,  the  names  Clogston  and  Glas- 
ford appear  frequently  and  in  very  old  records,  thus  prov- 
ing their  Scottish  origin. 

It  is  evident  that  Mrs.  James  Harwood  was  a  very 
capable  woman.  The  care  and  burden  of  rearing  her  chil- 
dren must  have  fallen  largely  upon  her,  her  husband  being 
so  much  of  the  time  absent  from  home  in  the  army,  and 
she  was  still  a  young  woman  at  the  time  of  his  death. 

We  find  her  name  with  her  husband's  attached  to  a 
deed  of  48  acres  of  land,  sold  to  his  brother,  John  Har- 
wood, and  his  brother-in-law,  Benjamin  Davis,  of  Am- 
herst, N.  H.,  May  16,  1774.  This  land  was  part  of  a 
tract  that  had  once  been  owned   bv   "The   Ancient   and

Mrs.  Harwood:  "  March  5,  1781,  Voted  that  Mary  Har- 
wood. be  allowed  7.  8.  for  what  the  town  was  benefitted 
by  her  late  husband  in  the  war,"  Nov.  9,  1785,  Mrs. 
Mary  Harwood  married  Isaac  Foote  of  Wearetown,  N. 
H.  He  was  a  widower,  a  little  older  than  herself,  and 
like  her  first  husband  had  seen  much  service  in  both  the 
French  and  Indian  and  the  Revolutionary  wars.  She  lived 
to  the  great  age  of  99  years.  A  brother  of  Mrs  Har- 
wood, Paul  Clogston,  of  Dunstable,  served  at  the  begin- 
ning of  the  Revolution  in  the  same  company  and  regiment 
with  James  Harwood.  He  was  wounded  at  Bunker  Hill, 
and  died  from  his  wounds  about  a  month  later,  July  15, 
1775.  Another  brother,  John  Clogston,  Jr.,  born  1741, 
married  at  Londonderry,  N.  H.,  a  young  widow,  Mrs. 
Anna  Glasford,  and  was  one  of  the  first  settlers  in  Goffs- 
town,  N.  H.,  where  they  reared  six  children.  He  also 
served  for  a  time  in  Capt.  William  Walker's  company  in 
the  Revolution.  The  Esther  Clogston  who  witnessed  the 
deed  of  freedom  given  by  Mr.  and  Mrs.  John  Clogston  to 
their  slaves,  was  very  probably  their  daughter  and  sister 
to  Mrs.  Harwood.  The  Clogstons  have  been  a  very  re- 
spectable family  in  New  England,  and  some  of  the  family

He  was  alive  in  Canada,  Sept.  20,  1758,  but  died  before 
April  15,  1759,  probably  in  captivity.  His  widow  mar-

was  in  the  main  army  in  1776,  at  Ticonderoga.  It  is  cer- 
tain that  this  brave  soldier  of  two  wars  saw  much  hard 
service  during  the  eleven  months  in  the  Revolution 
which  ended  with  his  life. 

33.  Andrew,  baptized  Sept.  20,  174-3.  He  was  born

sion.  He  married  Sarah  Martin,  of  Hooksett,  at  Goffs- 
town,  N.  H.,  Jan  9,  1787.  They  resided  in  Goffstown 
until  1820,  when  he  sold  his  farm  and  lived  the  rest  of  his 
life  in  Manchester.  He  died  about  1832.  His  wile  was 
born  in  1761,  died  1830. 

43.  James,  born  in  1760.  It  is  said  that  when  a  lad  of 
15  years  he  followed  the  regiment  in  which  his  father 
served,  to  Bunker  Hill,  and  there  watched  the  progress  of 
the  battle.  Two  years  later,  he  enlisted  in  Capt.  James 
Ford's  company,  Col.  Moses  Nichols'  regiment,  and  with 
his  father  and  his  older  brother  were  of  that  glorious 
band  under  General  Stark  who  met  the  British  and  Hes- 
sians at  Bennington  and  completely  routed  them.  At  the 
time  of  his  enlistment,  Mr.  Harwood's  residence  was 
Litchfield,  N.  H.  This  town  was  originally  a  part  of  the 
old  township  of  Dunstable.  June  12, 1779,  Mr.  Harwood 
enlisted  from  Francistown,  N.  H.,  in  Col.  Moses  Kelley's 
regiment,  for  one  year  and  was  mustered  in  July  20, 1779. 
He  received  a  bountv  of  £60.  Dec.  4,  1783,  James  Har- 
wood, then  of  Bedford,  N.  H.,  married  at  Billerica,  Mass., 
Patty  Sanders,  daughter  of  David  and  Abigail  (SnowJ, 
Sanders.  She  was  born  in  Billerica,  Oct.  28, 1759.  In  1784, 
Mr.  Harwood  appears  as  a  resident  and  remonstrant  to  a 
petition  concerning  a  ferry  across  the  Merrimac  River,  and 
he  is  recorded  then  as  part  owner  of  "  Brinton's  farm,"  in 
Litchfield.  His  age  is  given  at  this  time  as  24  years. 
Under  "  Heads  of  families"  in  the  New  Hampshire  census 
of  1790,  James  Harwood's  residence  is  given  as  Wear- 
town.  Soon  after  this  he  settled  in  Unity,  N.  H.  His 
name  appears  in  1794,  as  a  resident  and  petitioner  of 
Unity.  In  the  spring  of  1800,  while  at  work  cutting  ice 
out  of  the  flume  of  a  saw  mill,  the  ice  gave  way  and  he 
was  carried  over  the  dam  and  killed  almost  instantly. 
His  wife  died  in  1S39.  She  was  a  member  of  the  Congre- 
gational Church. 


46  GENEALOGICAL   HISTORY. 

44.  Archibald,  born  in  1762.  There  is  a  tradition 
that  he  served  in  the  Revolution  at  the  age  of  sixteen 
years  as  a  substitute,  but  I  have  found  no  records  of  such 
service.  He  enlisted  July  6,  1780,  in  Col.  William  Bar- 
ron's company,  Col.  Moses  Nichols'  regiment,  for  the  de- 
fense of  West  Point,  and  was  one  of  those  who  were  sold 
(but  not  delivered)  to  the  British  by  the  traitor  Arnold. 
He  used  often  to  relate  to  his  children  how  Washington 
addressed  the  soldiers  after  Arnold's  treachery  became 
known.  Sept.  17,  1781,  he  enlisted  for  three  months  in 
the  Fifth  Regiment  of  Militia  from  Dunstable.  We  find 
this  document:— 

"Dunstable,  Sept.  17,  1781. 

We,  the  subscribers,  do  Inlist  ourselves  as  Soldiers  to 
serve  three  months  from  the  Day  of  Rondezvous,  and  Do 
Promise  obedience  to  the  officers  set  over  us,  and  be  sub- 
ject to  the  Rules  and  Regulations  of  the  Army. 

Ephriam  Bowers, 
Archibald  Harwood." 

This  service  was  in  Capt.  John  Mills'  company,  Col. 
Daniel  Reynolds'  regiment.  Although  Mr.  Harwood  ren- 
dered his  country  such  faithful  service,  he  never  in  his  old 
age  applied  for  a  pension,  being  naturally  of  a  very  inde- 
pendent disposition. 

At  the  close  of  the  war,  he  went  to  Springfield,  Vt.,  where 
he  married  Susannah  House,  May  8,  1786.  She  was 
born  in  1762,  and  was  a  daughter  of  Combes  and  Pru- 
dence House.  Combes  House  was  descended  in  a  direct 
line  from  Samuel  House,  who  came  from  England  and  set- 
tled in  Scituate,  Mass.,  in  1634.  The  mother  of  Combes 
House  was  a  daughter  of  Anthony  Combes,  a  French 
Protestant,  born  in  France  in  1656,  and  came  to  America 
in  1675.  He  settled  in  Massachusetts.  Combes  House 
purchased  land  in  Springfield,  Vt.,  Aug.  18,  1773,  and 
continued  to  reside  in  that  town  until  his  death   some 


SIXTH   GENERATION.  47 

twenty  years  later.  In  Feb.,  1794,  Archibald  and  Susan- 
nah Harwood,  then  of  Weathersfield,  Vt.,  conveyed  to 
others  their  interest  in  the  Combes  House  estate.  In 
March,  1794,  David  House  conveyed  his  share  of  his 
father's  estate  to  his  sister,  Susannah  Harwood.  In  May, 
1805,  Archibald  and  Susannah  Harwood  "  quit-claimed 
their  interest  in  the  real  estate  ot  Combes  House,  late  of 
Springfield,  deceased,  now  belonging  to  Prudence  House, 
widow  of  Combes,"  to  Eleazer  Sartwell.  Archibald  Har- 
wood purchased  ten  acres  of  land  in  Weathersfield  in 
1792;  thirty  acres  in  179G;  twenty -five  acres  in  1799; 
and  sold  all  three  pieces  to  Luke  Nichols,  of  Weathersfield, 
Oct.  4,  1S00.  Mr.  Harwood  was  by  trade  a  carpenter 
and  mill  wright.  He  removed  to  Eden,  Vt.,  in  1802,  and 
built  the  first  mills  ever  erected  in  that  town.  In  March, 
1802,  he  was  elected  treasurer  and  constable  in  the  town 
of  Eden.  In  1804,  he  was  elected  lister.  In  1806,  he  was 
again  elected  constable.  The  records  of  deeds  show  sev- 
eral transfers  of  real  estate  by  and  to  Mr.  Harwood  in 
Eden,  from  Oct.  10,  1S02,  until  April  6,  1814.  He  re- 
moved from  Eden  to  Constable,  Franklin  Countv,  X.  Y., 
and  there  built  and  owned  mills.  He  died  in  Eden,  in 
1837.  His  wife  in  1848.  Her  last  years  were  spent  with 
her  daughter,  Mrs.  Phila  Adams,  in  Eden.  She  was  a 
professing  Christian  and  a  very  excellent  woman. 

45.  Rosannah,  married  John  Burlixgame,  son  of 
Capt.  Israel  and  Eunice  Burhngame,  at  Weathersfield, 
Vt.,  where  they  made  their  home.  In  1807,  Mr.  Burhn- 
game purchased  property  in  Eden,  Vt.,  from  his  brother- 
in-law,  Archibald  Harwood,  but  there  is  nothing  to  show 
that  he  ever  resided  in  Eden.  He  died  in  Weathersfield, 
Feb.  18,  1813,  aged  about  49  years.  He  left  property  in- 
ventoried at  $2,801.94,  which  was  distributed  as  follows: 
"To  Rosanna,  widow;  sons,  Russell,  Barton  and  Ira; 
and  daughters,  Roxy  and  Sophia."     Some  of  the  descend-

46.  Lydia,  married  Jonathan  Ordway,  in  New  Hamp- 
shire. They  had  three  children:  Jonathan,  Asa  and 
Rachel.  Mrs.  Lydia  Ordway  married  for  her  second  hus- 
band Jedediah  Hutchins,  and  they  had  four  children: 
Caleb,  Cynthia,  Jedediah  and  Persis.  Mrs.  Lydia  Hutch-

Medical  College.  Was  assistant  to  Prof.  Lewis  A.  Sayre, 
the  celebrated  surgeon.  Was  surgeon  to  the  New  York 
Central  Railroad,  and  notwithstanding  his  large  practice, 
he  devoted  several  hours  each  day  to  charitable  work. 
Dr.  Wakeman  married  May  15,  1872,  Sophie  Murphy. 
He  was  drowned  while  bathing  in  Blue  Mountain  Lake, 
in  the  Adirondack's,  August  15,  1878;  Abram  Jr.,  born 
April  23,  1850,  married  Louise  Vail,  April  10,  1873.  Four 
children,  George  V.,  born  March  21,  1877;  Annette,  born 
August  21, 1880;  Elizabeth,  born  Aug.  12,  1882,  andHar- 
wood  Lee,  born  October  12, 18SL.  Abram  Wakeman,  Jr., 
is  amerchant  in  New  York  City;  Mary  C, married  Robert 
Moore,  two  children,  Archibald  and  Mary.  Mrs.  Moore, 
died  at  Moore,  Wash.,  November  3, 1910;  and  Rosamond, 
bom  October  25,  1861,  died  March  8,  1883.  Her  death 
was  most  sad.  The  Cambridge  Apartment,  New  York 
City,  was  destroyed  by  fire  March  8,  1883,  the  Wakeman 
family  being  occupants.  Mr.  Wakeman  was  in  Albany  at 
the  time.  Rosamond  after  saving  the  life  of  the  old  family 
nurse,  learned  that  her  mother  had  not  escaped.  She  at 
once  returned  into  the  flames  to  assist  her  and  both  were 
burned  to  death.  Speaking  of  this  awful  tragedy,  the 
New  York  Evening  Telegram  said:  "In  all  the  tales  of 
romance  and  history  in  which  woman  is  a  prominent  fig- 
ure, there  can  scarcely  be  found  a  more  sublime  instance 
of  heroism  than  that  which  occurred  at  the  fire  in  the  up- 
town apartment  house  yesterday.  The  young  heroine, 
Miss  Rosa  Wakeman  after  assisting  her  aged  nurse  to  es- 
cape, returned  to  save  her  invalid  mother.  Finding  it  a 
task  beyond  her  powers,  she  chose  to  perish  with  her 
mother  rather  than  abandon  her  in  her  extremity.  Her 
name  should  be  enrolled  on  the  list  of  heroines  far  above 
many  of  those  of  whom  the  poets  have  sung  and  painters 
have  left  the  choicest  specimens  of  their  art."

She  died  in  Boston,  April  21,  1865.  She  was  a  Meth- 
odist. 

215.  Hiram,  born  Jan.  10,  1823,  in  Eden.  It  early  fell 
to  his  lot,  as  the  eldest  son,  to  assist  his  widowed  mother 
in  caring  for  the  younger  children,  and  this  duty  he  per- 
formed far  more  faithfully  than  many  older  persons  would 
have  done.  He  married  January  8,  1851,  Marianne  Big- 
elow,  daughter  of  James  and  Lucretia  (  Frank)  Bigelow, 
of  West  Bangor,  N.  Y.  She  was  born  in  Plattsburgh,  N.

Salisbury,  Vt.,  and  belonged  to  the  well-known  New  Eng- 
land family  of  that  name  whose  genealogy  has  been  pub- 
lished in  a  large  volume.  In  early  life,  Mr.  Harwood  be- 
came a  member  of  the  Methodist  Episcopal  Church.  For 
forty  years  he  served  the  Church  as  classleader.  He  was  a 
loval churchman,  ever  ready  to  give  of  his  time  and  means 
to  the  work  of  the  Church,  and  constant  in  his  attendance 
on  her  services.  Mr.  Harwood  in  the  management  of  his 
farm    and   other  business  was  energetic  and  methodical. 


r.s  GENEALOGICAL   HISTORY. 

Of  him  it  could  truthfully  be  said:  "He  had  a  place  for 
everything,  and  everything  in  its  place."  His  wife,  who 
was  a  teacher  before  her  mairiage,  was  a  most  excellent 
Christian  woman,  always  ready  to  do  all  she  could  in 
every  good  cause.  Mr.  Harwood  died  December  23,  1890, 
and  his  wife  September  11,  1906. 

216.  Oliver,  bom  July  21,  1824,  in  Bangor,  N.  Y., 
where  also  the  rest  of  the  family  were  born.  He  died  July 
8,  1825. 

217.  OLrvER,  born  Feb.  6,  1826.  He  married  Eliza- 
beth Steenberg,  daughter  of  John  Steenberg,  Septem- 
ber 24-,  1850.  They  removed  to  Wisconsin,  in  1855.  He 
served  in  the  Union  army,  enlisting  February  10,  1862,  in 
Co.  I,  Fifth  Regiment  Wisconsin  Infantry.  He  joined  the 
command  while  it  was  a  part  of  King's  Brigade,  and  was 
soon  after  transferred  to  that  of  Gen.  Hancock,  which  in 
March  started  for  Manassas,  but  the  action  there  being 
at  an  end,  returned  to  Alexandria,  and  made  connection 
with  the  forces  of  McClellanfor  the  Peninsular  Campaign. 
He  was  in  the  attack  at  Lee's  Mills,  on  the  Warwick 
River,  and  next  in  the  battle  of  Williamsburg,  and  then 
with  his  regiment  was  in  the  following  named  battles: 
Fredericksburg,  Yorktown,  Rappahannock  Station,  Mine 
Run,  Antietam  and  Gettysburg.  On  the  first  day's  fight 
in  \.he  battle  of  the  Wilderness,  he  was  taken  prisoner 
May  5,  186-i.  He  had  previously  veteranized  and  taken 
a  furlough,  but  on  the  day  mentioned  was  one  of  a  detail 
to  guard  a  train.  He  was  stationed  on  the  extreme  left 
of  the  skirmish  line,  when  they  were  attacked  by  a  rebel 
brigade.  He  was  several  rods  from  his  comrades,  and 
being  captured  he  informed  the  rebels  that  a  strong  force 
of  troops  were  lying  a  little  back  from  the  stream.  Be- 
lieving him,  they  did  not  advance,  and  by  this  ruse  he 
saved  the  wagon  train,  which  would  otherwise  have 
fallen   into  their  hands.     He  was  then  taken  to    Oranee

EIGHTH  GENERATION.  79 

Court  House,  where  he  was  relieved  of  the  most  of  his  per- 
sonal possessions,  and  then  he  was  removed  successively 
to  Gordonsville,  Lynchburg  and  Danville.  From  the  lat- 
ter place  he  was  taken  to  Andersonville,  May  23,  1864-. 
Here  he  remained  four  months,  when  he  was  removed  to 
the  prison  at  Florence,  S.  C.  Late  in  the  following  Feb- 
ruary, Mr.  Harwood  was  one  of  a  vast  throng  of  ragged, 
starving,  shivering,  hatless,  bare-footed,  emaciated,  filthy, 
vermin-covered,  and  altogether  forlorn  wretches,  which 
were  marched  to  Wilmington  to  be  exchanged.  It  is  safe 
to  conjecture  that  such  another  procession  will  never 
again  traverse  the  soil  ot  this  united  country.  Every  rod 
of  their  progress  was  marked  with  unparalleled  suffering; 
gaunt,  grim,  haggard,  every  line  of  every  face  marked 
with  the  ravages  of  a  privation  too  miserable  to  be  de- 
picted with  pen  or  brush;  every  form  crippled  and  stoop- 
ing under  a  burden  of  endurance  too  bitter  even  to  re-call 
with  patience.  Think  of  this  picture,  sons  and  beneficia- 
ries of  those  who  made  this  weary  journey,  and  try  to 
realize  their  emotions  as  they  passed  into  redemption,  un- 
der the  Stars  and  Stripes,  in  March  1865.  Mr.  Har- 
wood's  health  was  shattered  in  a  terrible  manner.  He 
had  the  scurvy  so  badly  that  all  his  teeth  fell  out  and  he 
never  afterwards  saw  a  well  day.  The  hardships  to 
which  he  was  exposed  at  Florence  were  much  less  than 
those  at  Andersonville,  but  the  prisoners  suffered  greatly 
from  cold  at  Florence.  During  the  winter  season,  Mr.  H. 
stated  that  many  men  died  from  lack  of  ambition  and 
energv  sufficient  to  move  about  and  take  care  of  them- 
selves. Mr.  Harwood  wa=  the  first  man  who  did  shoe- 
making  in  Andersonville  prison  For  a  hammer  he  had 
an  iron  nut  or  burr  on  which  he  put  a  stick  tor  a  handle, 
and  he  made  lasts  from  pieces  of  board.  He  had  previ- 
ouslv  done  some  cobbling,  but  had  never  learned  the 
trade.     He   picked   up   old   shoes   which  he  repaired    and 


sn  GENEALOGICAL   HISTORY. 

made  new  ones.  For  thread  he  had  the  ravelings  of  a 
piece  of  English  tent  cloth,  and  he  obtained  needles  which 
he  made  flexible  by  heating.  For  pegs  he  took  the  heart 
of  a  pine  stump  and  made  them  one  at  a  time  with  a  case 
knife.  He  had  come  to  the  conclusion  that  he  could  never 
get  out  of  prison  and  determined  to  make  the  best  of  it; 
and  he  went  to  work  in  order  to  be  employed  and  to  earn 
something  to  keep  from  starving.  He  was  for  sometime 
the  only  shoemaker  in  the  stockade,  rising  earlv  in  the 
morning  and  working  late  at  night  by  the  light  of  pine 
knots.  The  money  he  earned  he  used  for  relieving  the  ne- 
cessities of  himself  and  his  companions.  After  awhile 
others  began  to  make  shoes  and  it  became  quite  a  busi- 
ness. His  pegging  awl  and  case  knife  which  he  brought 
from  Wisconsin,  he  had  managed  to  secrete  when  taken 
prisoner,  and  he  carried  them  from  Andersonville  to  Flor- 
ence, where  he  also  carried  on  the  same  business.  He  had 
a  razor  which  he  carried  all  the  way  through  and  with 
which  he  shaved  his  fellow  prisoners.  At  Andersonville 
he  gave  from  ten  to  twelve  cents  a  teaspoonful  for  salt 
and  one  dollar  for  a  quart  of  flour,  and  he  managed  by  his 
work  to  get  enough  to  keep  himself  and  two  companions 
alive.  Had  he  obtained  nothing  but  the  regular  prison 
allowance  to  eat,  he  would  doubtless  have  died  there.  He 
once  gave  a  dollar  for  a  pound  of  salt  that  had  just  been 
taken  from  a  pork  barrel.  Sometimes  the  men  who  went 
out  to  gather  wood  would  be  allowed  to  bring  in  an  extra 
stick  for  their  own  use,  and  they  sometimes  bought  beans 
and  other  food  from  the  citizens  and  smuggled  them  into 
the  prison.  A  common  method  was  to  split  a  log,  make 
it  hollow,  place  the  provisions  inside  and  fasten  it  to- 
gether with  wedges.  This  was  after  awhile  discovered  by 
the  prison  keepers.  At  Wilmington,  Mr.  Harwood  was 
paroled  but  came  down  with  tvphoid  fever  and  was  sick 
several  weeks,  during  which  time  he  was  taken   to   An-

which  took  fire.  He  received  a  furlough  and  returned  to 
Wisconsin.  The  war  closed  before  his  leave  of  absence  ex- 
pired, and  he  did  not  rejoin  his  command.  After  the  war 
he  lived  in  Waushara  County,  Wisconsin,  for  many  years 
in  Plainfield,  in  that  county.  He  married  for  his  second 
wife,  August  25,  1867,  Mrs.  Lucy  E.  Cummings.  He  was 
formerly  a  member  ot  the  Methodist  Church,  but  later 
with  his  wife  united  with  the  Baptist  Church  of  Plainfield. 
He  was  a  member  of  the  G.  A.  R.  organization.  Was  for

Disciple  Church.  On  the  23d  of  September,  1880,  the  chil- 
dren and  grand-children  of  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Isaac  Harwood 
had  a  family  re-union  at  the  old  home  in  Ionia,  Michigan. 
There  were  32  persons  present,  just  one-half  of  whom 
were  grand-children.  A  photographer  was  called,  who 
made  a  picture  of  all,  taken  on  the  lawn  in  front  of  the 
house.  Then  the  father  called  all  the  company  into  the 
parlor  and  presented  each  of  the  seven  children  with  $100 
each.  The  mother  made  each  of  the  grand-children  a 
present.  Lyman,  the  eldest  son,  then  arose  and  made 
these  remarks:  "  Dear  parents,  on  my  own  behalf,  and  by 
the  request  of  these  my  brothers  and  sisters,  we  desire  to 
tender  to  you  our  sincere  thanks  for  this  another  manifes- 
tation of  your  love  for  us  your  children.  We  congratulate 
you  on  your  success  in  the  past,  and  thank  you  for  the 
manv  lessons  of  advice  and  instruction  you  have  given  us. 
We  know  that  by  following  vour  examples  we  mav  be 
true  men  and  women.  We  hope  you  mav  both  vet  be 
spared  manv  vears,  that  your  advice  maybe  a  blessing  to 
us  in  the  future,  as  it  has  been  in  the  past.  We  hope  to 
live  to  have  many  more  of  these  familv  re-unions — which 
we  all  so  much  enjoy."  The  father  then  arose  and  replied 
as  follows:  "  Dear  children,  this  has  been,  a  very  pleasant 
meeting  to  us,  and  we  unite  our  wishes  with  vours  for 
many  more  such  re-unions.  To  see  our  children  gathered 
together  at  their  home  is  the  greatest  pleasure  your 
mother  and  I  ever  expect  to  enjoy  here  on  earth.  It  has 
been  the  aim  of  our  lives  to  set  such  examples  before  our 
children  that  they  might  grow  up  respected  and  useful. 
We  feel  to  thank  you  each  and  every  one  for  the  cheerful- 
ness with  which  you  have  received  our  instructions,  and 
wherever  we  mav  have  erred,  we  hope  vou  mav  see  the 
errors  and  avoid  them  and  set  examples  before  your  chil- 
dren worthy  of  imitation.  Children,  your  parents  have

years  on  the  staff  of  the  Inter-Ocean.  He  then  went  to  St. 
Paul,  where  he  was  engaged  about  three  years  in  daily 
newspaper  work.  After  that  he  was  for  several  years  on 
the  staff  of  the  Minneapolis  Evening  Journal,  engaged 
largely  in  special  work.  In  1S93,  he  gave  up  news- 
paper work  to  a  large  extent  in  order  to  give  the  most  of 
his  time  to  actual  literary  work.  For  this  he  had  a  strong 
liking  and  became  a  contributer  to  all  the  leading  Ameri- 
can magazines,  and  to  some  of  the  best  English  ones.  He 
finally  became  an  independent  magazine  writer.  He  also 
wrote  much  editorial  matter  for  leading  religious  periodi- 
cals. Spiritual  perception,  breadth  and  tolerance  were 
his,  and  in  these  editorials  he  spoke  many  a  needed,  many 
a  staunch  word  for  the  truth's  sake,  as  well  as  words  of 
uplift  and  inspiration  to  right  living.  He  also  wrote 
manv  poems.  He  was  the  author  of  several  fine  books  :— 
"New  Creations  of  Plant  Life,"  an  authoratative  account

"The  New  Earth,  a  Recital  of  the  Triumphs  of  Modern

in  which  he  lived  In  Los  Gatos,  he  established  a  Boys' 
Club.  All  the  members  were  devoted  to  their  leader,  and 
not  one  of  them  hut  will  permanently  feel  the  uplift  of  as- 
sociation with  this  strong,  sunny,  serene,  clean-minded 
man— for  he  was  first  of  all  a  max,  then  a  writer  of  ex- 
quisite prose  and  verse.     Mr.  Harwood  married  June  17,
