Atid  what  more  jjrecious  festimofiial  of  your  love  of  kindred  and 
home  ('an  you  leave  than  that  which  provides  for  the  transmission 
of  the  history  of  your  ancestors,  yourself  and  family  to  future 
generations  !  And  hoio  consoling  the  thought,  that  when  you  shall 
have  been  gathered  to  your  fathers,  this  history  shall  live  through 
all  coming  time  as  a  lyrecious  inheritance  to  your  descendants! 
This  is  a  trust  which  Providence  has  confided  to  your  care  ;  and 
who  so  dead  to  sym.pathy  and  affection,  to  kindred  and  country, 
that  would  not  preserve  the  record  of  his  ancestors,  the  place  of  his 
birth,  the  home  of  his  childhood,  and  the  sacred  spot  where  repose 
the  loved  and  lost  ones  of  earth ! — Host.  Marshall  P.  Wilder.

As  a  mark  of  love  to  a  child  who  was  to  him  ever  a  solace  and 
a  blessing,  to  one  whose  life  was  to  her  parents  a  perpetual  source 
of  joy  such  as  a  father  and  mother  can  only  feel  in  the  love  of  a 
devoted.,  pure,  and  only  child,  the  Author  dedicates  this  work  to 
the  memory  of 

FONETA  A.  NEWCOMB, 


who  died  of  chronic  pneumonia,  April  30, 1874,  aged  twenty-two 
years,  six  mouths  and  nine  days,  leaving  desolation  where  happi- 
ness had  been,  and  hearts  bound  in  anguish  that  had  ever  sprung 
to  her  with  a  love  that  pen  cannot  describe  nor  tongue  speak. 
This  great  affliction  came  upon  the  Author  while  the  work  was 
in  press  and  after  that  portion  in  which  she  is  mentioned  (page 
/  432)  had  been  printed ;  her  cultivated  taste  and  perspicuity 
through  the  labor  of  compilation  was  of  inestimable  value.  In 
her  professional  duties  as  a  teacher  she  attained  a  recognized 
eminence  that  was  no  less  gratifying  than  was  the  affectionate 
regard  of  her  pupils,  whose  hearts  sorrowed  around  her  grave. 
The  esteem  in  which  she  was  held  by  the  Board  of  Education  of 
the  City  of  Elgin  is  recorded  in  their  own  official  words,  and  the 
;  journals  of  the  same  city  paid  to  the  dear  departed  the  most  affec- 
j  tionate  tributes  of  regard  for  her  worth  and  of  sorrow  at  her  early 
death.  The  Author  trusts  that  the  reader  will  grant  to  a  bereaved 
father  the  consolation  of  associating  with  his  work  the  name  that 
was  in  life  his  dearest  and  in  death  his  most  cherished.  In  this 
spirit  the  dedication  is  made,  and  surely  a  father's  hand  may  be 
pardoned  in  this  last  testimonial  to  a  child  so  useful,  amiable, 
affectionate,  and  unselfish  as  the  young  sleeper  whose  spirit  so 
early  fled  to  the  realms  of  the  blessed.

i:N^TIlODUCTIO]Sr. 


In  the  early  part  of  1861  —  nearly  14  years  ago  —  the  Author 
commenced  the  collection  of  records  relating  to  his  near  kindred, 
but  not  with  a  view  to  their  publication;  not  until  some  months 
after  did  it  occur  to  him  that  the  result  of  his  researches  might 
one  day  reach  the  printer.  The  work  was  begun  and  has  been  car- 
ried forward  as  a  "labor  of  love; ''  an  incredible  amount  of  time- 
has  been  bestowed  npon  it;  the  last  four  years  have  been  almost 
wholly  devoted  to  it.  Several  thousand  letters  have  been  written 
—  as  high,  in  one  instance,  as  600  in  a  single  mouth — and  many 
more  circulars  have  been  sent  out  soliciting  facts  respecting  the 
family ;  persons  of  the  largest  experience  have  been  employed  in 
searching  old  as  well  as  modern  records.  Thousands  of  letters 
have  been  received  conveying  facts  respecting  the  family;  these 
letters  have  varied  in  length  from  a  single  page,  note  size,  to  over 
60  pages  of  foolscap  closely  written  and  much  abbreviated. 
While  it  would  require  several  volumes  of  this  size  to  print  all 
these  communications  verbatim,  yet  the  substance,  what  were 
deemed  the  more  important  facts,  are  here  presented ;  if  any  do 
not  find  as  full  an  account  of  themselves  and  families  as  was 
anticipated,  it  is  because,  with  exceptional  instances,  no  more  was 
furnished. 

A  most  thorough  and  exhaustive  search  has  been  made  of  the 
records  of  a  large  number  of  towns  and  counties  in  New  Eng- 
land, at  their  capitols,  at  the  capitols  of  many  other  states  and 
towns  and  counties  therein.  These  researches  extend  back  to 
the  landing  of  the  Pilgrims,  1620.  The  town  records  thus  ex- 
amined have  been  those  of  births,  marriages,  deaths,  business 
meetings,  etc.;  the  church,  of  baptisms,  admissions,  dismissals, 
etc.;  the  land  and  proprietors;  the  proljate,  of  wills,  inventories, 
distributions  ;  other  court  records;  state  records  of  militarv  ser- 
vice  in  early  colonial  Avars,  the  Eevolution,  War  of  1812,  Mexican 
War,  the  Great  Rebellion,  etc.;  military  records  at  Washington, 
including  those  of  the  Pension  Office  ;  the  "  Roll  of  Honor '' ;  a 
large  number  of  tombstones ;  family  Bibles ;  many  books,  news- 
papers, magazines,  old  documents,  letters,  etc.  Researches  in  tlie 
Old  World  are  referred  to  on  pages  7  and  8,  and  538-9. 

In  a  work  of  this  kind,  containing  so  many  thousands  of  fiicts, 
including  the  names  of  almost  seven  thousand  persons  born 
Newcombs  beside  collateral  relatives,  and  witli  reliance  for  the 
facts  relating  thereto  and  to  some  extent  based  upon  information 
received  from  such  a  great  number  of  sources,  it  must  of  neces- 
sity be  impossible  not  to  fall  into  some  errors ;  yet  neither  pains 


2  niE   NEWCOMB    FAMILY. 

nor  expense  have  been  spared  to  secure  thoroughness  and  accuracy 
where  possible.  Many  hundreds  of  letters  and  circulars  have 
been  sent  out  to  which  no  replies  have  been  received,  or,  if 
received,  not  until  many  appeals  had  been  forwarded  ;  the  facts 
lierein  contained  respecting  persons  thus  referred  to,  and  of  their 
families,  have  been  gleaned  and  made  up  from  other  and  many 
sources.  Where  the  compiler  has  found  upon  record,  or  been 
furnished  with  various  or  conflicting  statements  respecting  per- 
sons, dates,  names,  events,  etc.,  he  has  adopted  such  as  seemed 
supported  by  the  greatest  weight  of  evidence. 

Not  one  in  ten  thousand  —  only  such  as  have  had  experience 
in  genealogical  inquiries  —  understands  or  appreciates  the  im- 
mense labor,  the  personal  research,  extensive  correspondence  and 
amount  of  means  required  to  collate  a  family  memorial,  materials 
relating  to  the  early  settlers,  and  their  widely  scattered  and 
numerous  descendants  through  a  period  of  250  years.  The  labor 
in  many  instances  of  obtaining  indubitable  record  proof  of  the 
exact  relationship  of  persons  who  lived  so  long  ago  that  their 
names  have  not  been  preserved  even  in  tradition,  is,  in  many 
instances,  simply  incredible;  a  great  amount  of  time  is  required 
also  for  the  arrangement  of  materials  in  manner  easily  and  quickly 
understood.  Were  the  Author  paid  for  time  employed  upon  this 
Memorial  the  low  wages  of  a  common  day  laborer,  and  for  the 
means  expended  in  its  completion,  ten  dollars  per  copy  would 
hardly  reimburse  him  for  the  effort  and  outlay.  It  is  yet  to  be 
determined  to  what  extent  the  loss  to  him  shall  be  met  by  the 
generosity  of  those  most  interested.  As  this  volume  is  not  elec- 
trotyped,  it  will  be  impossible,  with  the  exhaustion  of  the  small 
edition,  to  secure  a  copy  at  any  price. 

The  Name. — The  name  Newcomb  is  said  to  be  of  Saxon  origin,. 
Comhe  signifying  a  low  situation,  a  fale,  a  place  between  two 
hills.  Newcome,  Newcomos  is  defined  by  Halliwell  as  "  '  strangers 
newly  arrived';  but  the  family  of  this  name,  who  trace  back  to 
Hugh  Newcome,  of  Saltfleetby,  Co.  Lincoln,  temp.  Coeur  de  Lion 
(1189-1199),  are  not  parvemis  in  this  or  any  other  sense.  The 
name  is  doubtless  the  same  as  Newcombe,  though  the  locality 
from  which  that  is  derived  is  not  known." 

In  early  records  in  this  country  the  name  is  found  written 
Newcom,  Neiocome,  Neu'comh.  Newcombe,  Neuwum,  Newhum, 
Newkom,  Newchum,  Nuconi,  Xucome,  Xucoinb,  Nucomhe,  Nucum,. 
etc. ;  in  some  instances  in  two  or  more  ways  in  same  document ; 
now  it  is  almost  invariably  written  Newconih. 

The  records  of  baptism,  marriages,  etc.,  at  Saltfleetby,  where 
the  family  has  been  seated  700  years,  begin  in  1558,  and  are 
written  in  Latin  ;  in  these  records  the  name  is  written  Newcomen 
the  known  descendants  write  the  Name  Newcomen,  Newcome, 
and  perhaps  Newcomb.  It  is  a  question  with  the  Author  as  to 
whether  Newcomen  and  Newcomb  are  only  different  ways  of 
writing  the  same  name.

THE    NEWCOMB    FAMILY.  3' 

Key  to  the  Abbreviations,  System  of  Notation,  Etc. — 
b.  stands  for  born ;  bap.  for  baptized ;  m.  for  married ;  pub.  for 
published  in  marriage  ;  unm.  for  unmarried  ;  d.  for  died ;  ch.  for 
child  or  children ;  chh.  for  church ;  dau.  for  daughter ;  grand- 
dau.  for  granddaughter;  grandf.  for  grandfather;  grands,  for 
grandson  ;  g.  for  great ;  coll.  for  college ;  res.  for  residence,  reside 
or  resides;  ae.  for  aged.  There  are  other  abbreviations,  of  such 
common  use,  that  the  meaning  will  be  obvious. 

The  small  superior  figures,  following  the  names  of  NewcombSy 
indicate  the  number  of  the  generation  from  the  first  American 
ancestor;  thus:  John,*  or  John  Newcomb,*  denotes  that  he  is  of 
the  8th  generation. 

Immediately  after  each  head  of  a  family,  in  the  largest  type, 
will  be  seen,  included  in  a  parenthesis,  the  pedigree  in  the  New- 
comb  line ;  the  first  name  in  the  parenthesis  being  the  father, 
the  second  the  grandfather,  and  so  back  to  the  emigrant  ancestor. 
Thus,  on  page  431,  for  example : 

326  John  Bearse  Newcomb"  {Ohadiali;  William; 

Peter;  Hezehiah;  Simon;  Andrew;  Andrew'^. 

According  to  the  explanation  above  given,  Joliil  Bearse- 
Newcoiiib,*  of  the  8th  generation,  was  son  of  OhadiaW'  of  the 
7th,  grandson  of  WiUianf  of  the  6th,  great-grandson  of  Peter"  of 
the  5th,  great-great-grandson  qI  Hezekiali"  of  the  4th,  great-great- 
great-grandson  of  Simoif  of  the  third,  great-great-great-great- 
grandson  of  Andre/v^  of  the  2d,  and  great-great-great-great-great- 
grandson  of  Andreiu  Newcomh'  of  the  1st  generation,  the  emi- 
grant ancestor. 

Nearly  every  name  in  the  book  may  be  referred  to  by  number; 
for' instance,  Obadiah  Newcomb,'  on  page  328,  is  numbered  230, 
his  2d  child,  Esther,'  may  be  referred  to  as  230-2 ;  her  2d  child, 
Ann  Eliza,  as  230-2-2,  and  Ann  Eliza's  1st  child,  Mary  Esther 
Catharine,  as  230-2-2-1. 

The  large  figures  in  right  hand  side  or  margin  of  the  page  de- 
note that  persons  so  numbered  became  parents.  To  find  an 
account  of  these  parents  and  their  descendants  the  reader  should 
refer  forward  to  the  same  numbers  in  the  largest  type  in  left  hand 
margin.  Only  such  names  are  numbered  as  are  carried  forward. 
The  numbers  in  largest  type,  placed  at  head  of  families,  refer  back 
to  same  numbers  found  in  right  hand  margin,  where  the  same 
names  are  placed  among  the  issue  of  their  parents,  etc.  Any 
particular  lineage  may  be  readily  traced,  either  upward  or  do\yn- 
ward,  and  facts  learned  respecting  each  person,  by  referring 
alternately  to  the  large  figures  in  right-hand  margin,  and  the 
same  numbers  in  largest  type  preceding  the  names.  Take  for 
example  the  Authors  line,"  page  431,  where  the  name  of  John 
Bearse  Newcomb'  is  preceded  by  the  number  326.  This  number 
refers  back  to  marginal  number  326,  near  middle  of  page  329,. 


4  THE    NEWCOMB    FAMILY. 

where  lie  is  found  to  be  the  only  son  of  OlJadiah/  who  is  No.  230. 
This  in  same  manner  refers  back  to  marginal  number  230,  on 
page  165,  where  Obadiah'  is  found  as  the  9th  child  of  William,' 
No.  103 ;  this  refers  to  marginal  number  103  on  page  77,  Avhere 
William'  appears  as  the  -Ith  child  of  Peter,^  No.  38 ;  and  from 
his  marginal  number.  No.  38  on  page  4G,  it  appears  he  was  2d 
son  of  Hezekiah,'  No.  12.  In  like  manner  this  refers  to  marginal 
number,  No.  12,  on  page  29,  where  he  is  found  as  3d  son  of  No.  4, 
Simon,'  and  4  Simon'  is  found  on  page  19  as  son  of  Lieut. 
Andrew''  No.  2  on  page  14,  and  his  marginal  number,  No.  2  on 
page  13,  is  found  among  the  issue  of  Capt.  Andrew  Newcomb,' 
page  9. 

The  degree  of  kinship  between  any  two  persons  descended  from 
the  same  Newcomb  is  easily  determined  by  tracing  both  lines 
upward  until  they  unite  in  a  common  ancestor  and  then  noting 
the  degrees  of  kinship.  For  instance  :  if  it  is  desired  to  learn  the 
degree  of  kinship  between  Col.  Elisha  Newcomb**  of  Cumberland 
Mills,  Me.,  No.  2S0,  page  387,  and  the  author.  No.  326,  page  431, 
both  of  the  8th  generation,  the  names  and  statement  of  kinship 
may  be  arranged  as  follows : 
Andrew,'  Andrew,'  Simeon;*  Andrew,'*  Joshua,"    John,*  Benjamin,"  Elisha.* 

Same.  Same.  Brothers.  1st  Cousins.         2d  Cousins.       3d  Cousins.       4th  Cousins.       5th  Cousins. 

Andrew,'  Andrew,"  Simon,-'  Hezekiah,'*  Peter,^  William,''  Obadiah,''  John  B.* 

The  solution  of  similar  problems  in  kinship  between  difiereut 
branches  and  descendants  may  be  thus  easily  determined. 

Down  to  1752  the  historical  year  commenced  on  January  1, 
while  the  civil,  ecclesiastical,  and  legal  year  began  on  the  25th 
of  March  ;  the  last  figure  always  indicates  the  year  according  to 
the  present  calculation ;  thus,  Jan.  14, 1724-5,  means  Jan.  14, 1725. 

A  name  in  parenthesis,  thus,  Arethusa  Gould,  daughter  of 
Samuel  and  Patience  (Wilbur)  indicates  the  maiden  surname  of 
Patience,  wife  of  Samuel  Gould.     (See  page  431.) 

The  last  50  pages  of  the  work  are  covered  by  four  indexes,  and 
any  person  named  in  the  book  (commencing  with  page  nine) 
may  be  found  by  consulting  one  or  more  of  these  indexes.  If 
known  to  have  been  a  soldier  in  any  of  the  wars  in  which  this 
country  has  been  engaged,  the  name,  if  a  Newcomb,  will  appear 
in  the  list,  pages  551  and  552.  If  the  Christian  or  given  name 
of  a  Newcomb  is  known,  the  name  will  be  found  in  index  pages 
553-571.  Names  of  persons  other  than  Newcomb  may  be  found 
by  consulting  index  of  surnames,  pages  571-583.  If  the  residence 
at  any  time  is  known,  any  name  may  be  found  by  consulting 
index  of  places,  pages  583-600. 

Family  Coat  of  Aems. —  Several  Coats  of  Arms  have  been 

granted  to  the  family  in  England,  but  the  Author  has  not  been 

able  to  demonstrate  positively  that  any  member  of  the  family  in 

this  country  is  a  descendant"  of  those  who  were  entitled  to  coat 

,armor  in  England.     A  number  of  correspondents  have  referred

Portraits  axd  Autographs. — The  portraits,  all  of  which 
were  engraved  upon  steel  expressly  for  this  Memorial,  were  kindly 
furnished  by  persons  most  interested  ;  the  cost  for  engraving  and 
prints  was  over  sixteen  hundred  dollars.  Much  pleasure  is  taken 
in  acknowledging  tlie  kindness  of  the  donors. 

The  Author  gratefully  accepts  this  opportunity  to  return  to 
the  following  named  persons  his  inadequate  yet  sincere  thanks 
for  their  kindness  so  generously  manifested  by  the  presentation, 
unsolicited,  of  the  steel-plate  engraving  facing  the  title  page,  as 
a  mark  of  their  appreciation  of  his  labors  in  compiling  this 
historical  and  genealogical  tribute  to  this  ancient  family.  Esteem 
and  affection  prompt  this  recognition  of  their  kindness  and 
sympathy  so  munificently  expressed  by  a  gift,  prized  all  the  more 
that  it  is  to  be  found  in  the  book  by  the  expressed  desire  of  the 
Donors:

'6  THE    NEWCOMH    FAMILY. 

typed  at  a  cost  of  one  hundred  and  twenty-eight  dolhirs;  a  portion 
of  this  expense  has  been  met  l)y  persons  direchly  interested,  to 
whom  the  Author  returns  his  sincere  thanks. 

The  compiler,  in  closing  his  work  of  love,  would  feel  a  deep 
regret  did  he  send  it  forth  without  expressing  his  unbounded 
gratitude  to  the  many  correspondents  —  to  the  thouglitful  assist- 
ance of  hundreds  of  friends  —  who  have  aided  liim  with  valuable 
facts.  This  inadequate  expression  of  thanks  it  is  hoped  will  l)e 
accepted  l)y  all ;  yet  in  taking  leave,  as  it  were,  of  those  Avho  by 
common  and  generous  impulses  aided  in  the  conservation  of  the 
family  lineage,  a  feeling  of  especial  ol)ligation  compels,  for  their 
preeminent  aid,  a  mention  of  the  following  persons  :  Dr.  8imon 
Newcomb,"  late  of  Lansingburgh,  N.  Y.,  p.  133  ;  Miss  Harriot  A. 
Newconib,'  of  Norton,  Mass.,  p.  496 ;  Eev.  George  Newcomb,*^  late 
of  Beaufort,  S.  C,  p.  517:  Hon.  Elymas  S.  Newcomb,'  late  of 
Waterbury  Centre,  Vt.,  p.  500 ;  Hon.  George  G.  Newcomb,''  of 
Koxbury,  N.  H.,  p.  497 ;  D.  Barnaby  Newcomb,^  of  Cornwallis, 
N.  S.,  p.  247 ;  John  T.  Newcomb,'  of  Cornwallis,  N.  S.,  p.  115 ; 
Capt.  Andrew  Newcomb,'  of  Hopewell,  N.  B.,  p.  392  ;  Mrs.  Fran- 
ces (Newcomb')  King,  of  Halifax,  N.  S.,  p.  83  ;  Aaron  Phipps,  of 
Greenwich,  Mass.,  and  Thomas  B.  Wyman,  of  Charlestown,  Mass. 

An  expression  of  thanks  is  also  due  to  the  following  persons 
for  material  aid :  George  W.  Newcomb,^  of  Chicago,  111.,  p.  429 ; 
Horatio  A.  Nevvcomb,''  of  Geneva,  Wis.,  p.  441 ;  William  0.  New- 
comb,"  of  Perry  Center,  N.  Y.,  p.  430 ;  Mrs.  P.  (Viele)  Newcomb/ 
of  Davenport,  Iowa,  p.  207  ;  Mrs.  Theoda  (Newcomb')  Knapp,  late 
of  Cato,  N.  Y..  p.  154 ;  George  F.  Newcomb,"  of  New  Haven,  Ct, 
p.  40(3 ;  Washington  L.  Newcomb,"  of  Taunton,  Mass.,  p.  410 ; 
William  R.  Newcomb,'  of  Andover,  N.  B.,  p.  115 ;  William  A. 
Flack,  of  Lansingburgh,  N.  Y.,  p.  138. 

That  the  records  now  rescued  from  oblivion  and  herein  con- 
tained will  be  more  and  more  prized  by  generations  to  come 
there  can  be  no  doubt.  There  is  a  pleasurable  consciousness  in 
having  done  something  in  grateful  reverence  to  enshrine  in  a 
permanent  memorial  the  lives  and  virtues  of  ancestors  and  kin- 
dred. A  pardonable  gratification  is  engendered  by  the  knowl- 
edge that  the  family,  through  generation  after  generation,  appears 
in  the  attitude  of  a  highly  moral,  patriotic,  enterprising,  intel- 
ligent and  inventive  race,  whose  deeds  and  achievements  must 
•ever  be  a  source  of  justifiable  pride  to  their  descendants. 

Elgin,  III.,  Sei^t  15,  1874.

8  THE    NKWCO.MB    KA.MIJ.Y. 

For  a  number  of  years  the  Author  employed  at  London  a  thoroughly 
competent  anti(iuiirian  of  large  experience,  who  devoted  much  time  to  an 
examination  of  the  early  records  of  England  ;  and  though  the  facts  obtained 
will  prove  interesting  to  the  family  in  this  country,  yet  a  lack  of  means 
prevented  what  would  probably  have  proven  the  successful  consummation 
of  the  end  sought,  namely,  the  learning  with  certainty  from  what  part  of 
England  the  progenitors  of  the  family  in  this  country  emigrated,  and  the 
names  etc.  of  their  ancestors.  The  Harrleian  and  other  Manuscripts  in  the 
British  Museum  were  examined,  as  also  the  Records  of  the  Herald's  College, 
the  Wills  at  Doctor's  Commons,  etc.,  and  full  abstracts  made  and  forwarded. 
In  addition  to  the  foregoing,  records  were  examined  at  various  places  in

1  Capt.  ANDREW  NEWCOMB. 

Of  the  earl)  history  of  Capt.  Andrew  Xewcomb,' 
Avliose  name  is  given  al)Ove,  comparatively  little  is 
known ;  1  nit  from  the  records  information  has  been  ob- 
tained by  ^vhich  some  idea  may  be  formed  of  the  man 
who  apj)ears  to  have  been  the  progenitor  of  the  largest 
branch  of  the  XeMcomb  taniily  in  America.  That  he 
was  1  )orn  in  England  is  (piite  certain ;  that  he  emigrated 
from  the  "Avest  of  England,''^  perha])s  Devonshire  or 
Wales,  nearly  all  traditions  declare.  Beside  tradition, 
however,  there  are  other  reasons  that  make  it  probable 
that  snch  was  the  case.  The  date  of  his  arrival  in  this 
conntry  is  not  definitely  known,  but  it  is  quite  probal;)le 
that  he  ^\'as  among  the  earliest  settlers  of  New  England. 
First  mention  of  him  is  made  in  1G03,  in  Boston,  Mass., 
when  and  ^vhere  he  married  his  2d  wife  Grace,  ^\T.dow 
of  William  Eix  or  Ricks  ;  he  was  at  that  time  a  mariner 
or  sea  cai)tain,  and  it  is  quite  probalde  that  this  had 
l)een  his  occupation  from  youth,  although  there  is  no 
record  to  show  it.

The  foregoing  Will  of  Ca])t.  N.  is  also  u])oii  Sutiblk 
Pro])ate,  vol.  11,  page  48.  No  inventory  or  settlement 
of  his  estate  appears  upon  recor<l  or  on  tile  at  Boston. 
That  he  d.  in  Nov.,  1G8G,  is  inferred  fi'om  the  date  of 
admission  of  liis  Will  to  prol)ate,  the  8th  of  the  folio w- 
ino-  month.  He  may  have  d.  a  year  earlier  at  sea.  If 
he  ^vas  born  about  1()18 — prol)al)ly  a  near  ap})roxuna- 
tiou  to  that  event — his  age  at  death  must  have  Ijeen 
not  far  from  08.  From  the  omission  of  either  bequest 
or  mention  in  the  foregoing  Will  of  a  son,  [Lieut.] 
Andrew  Ne\vcomb,'  a  doul)t  may  exist  as  to  his  having 
a  son  of  that  name.  This  nuu-h  is  kno^vn,  that  both 
Ca])t.  Andrew  Newcomb'  and  Lieut.  x\ndrew  Newcomb'^ 
^vere  living  in  America  at  or  near  Boston  at  the  same  time, 
and  in  eonnnaud  of  sailing  craft;  and  that  at  the  time 
Cai)t.  N.'s  will  ^vas  made  Lieut.  N.  was  living  at  Mar- 
thas Vineyard  in  circumstances  of  ^vorldly*  prosperity, 
and  in  no  need  of  pecuniary  aid.  The  fact  that  Capt. 
N.  also,  at  the  time  of  making  his  Avill,  held  })eculiar 
relations  to  his  grandchild  Ne^vcomb  Blague,  who 
demanded  trom  his  Aoutli  and  condition  as  an  orphan 
(then  12  years  old,  and  the  only  living  child  of  his 
parents )  his  most  conscientious  consideration,  and  that 
his  child  Grace  Newcoml),'  by  his  2(1  wife,  had  in  her 
mother  a  watchful  guardian  or  friend  in  presenting  her 
claims  to  the  consideration  of  Capt.  N. ;  all  of  which 
easil)'  and  })lainly  may  account  for  the  diversion  of  his 
property  from  his  son  Lieut.  N.  It  needs  but  to  be 
added  that  in  colonial  times,  where  l)equests  were  not 
made  to  children  of  the  testator,  their  names  were  fre- 
(juently  omitted.  Other  facts  are  given  in  the  follo^v- 
ing  pages,  all  of  which  go  to  shoAV  that  Lieut.  Andrew 
Newcomb"  was  son  of  Cai)t.  Andre^v  N.'  by  his  first 
wife,  and  an  own  brother  to  Susannah.'' 

In  completing  this  sketch  of  Capt.  N.  so  that  some 
definite  idea  may  be  formed  of  him,  it  ^vill  1)e  safe  to 
assume  that  he  was  a  vio-orous  man  or  lie  ^vould  not 
have  chosen  the  calling  of  seaman,  or  have  follow^ed  it 
so  lonii'.     That  he  was  a  man  of  education  is  shown

tVoiii  tlie  Specimens  of  liis  ^\'l•itin^■,  still  extant,  that 
■exhibit  facility  with  the  pen  in  times  when  it  Avas  a 
common  occnrrence  for  men  of  ])rosperity  and  respect- 
ability to  sign  their  wills  and  deeds  with  a  cross. 
And  since  it  a])j)ears  he  was  shi])-master  foi'  so  many 
years  on  the  Atlantic  c/)a8t,  it  is  clear  he  must  have 
T)*^en  possessed  of  nautical  skill.  Nor  would  he  have 
become  a  mai'iner  if  he  had  not  been  a  person  of  cour- 
age, for  in  those  days  even  more  than  at  present,  was  it 
necessary  for  one  to  be  braA'e  to  "go  down  to  the  sea 
in  ships."  That  he  Avas  a  man  of  enterprise  like  all 
the  New  England  pioneers  needs  no  ])roof,  and  that  he 
was  characterized  by  something  of  the  same  U])right- 
ness  that  the  author  trusts  still  belong  to  those  Avho 
beai*  the  name  of  Newcomb  seems  absolutely  certain, 
Finall\',  that  he  was  a  peaceable  citizen,  a  good  husband 
and  father,  occui)ied  with  the  common  interests  of 
mankind,  as  his  descendants  of  to-day,  is  no  mere  con- 
jecture, but  a  reasonable  certaint}-.

residing  in  this  country  as  early  as  July,  1606,  as  at 

this  date  he  attended  a  meeting  at  the  Isles  of  Shoals, 

near  Portsmouth,  N,  H.,  of  several  merchants  and  men 

engaged  in  the  fisheries,  for  the  pui'pose  of  fixing  the 

price  offish.     Tn  a  case  brought  by  Richard  Endell,  ot 

the  Isles  of  Shoals,  against  Jonathan  Wade,  of  Ipswich, 

in  Marcli,  1672,  for  fish   and  oil  delivered  to  Wade  foi 

several  years,   the  case  tui'iied  on  the  })rice  of  fish  in 

166C);  and  to  this  Mr,  Newcoinl)  made  affidavit,  which 

is  now  on  file  among  the  court  papers  at  Salem,  Mass. 

This    affidavit,    written    l)y    Mr.    Hathoi'iie,    reads    as 

follows :

is  ])ossil)le  that  at  the  time  of  his  l)irth  his  parents  were 
residing  ui)on  one  of  the  ishuids  of  the  group  called  "Isles 
of  Shoals,''  situated  in  the  (!)cean,a  few  miles  trom  Kittery 
and  Poi'tsmouth.  It  appears  that  the  first  four  years  of 
his  life  Mere  spent  at  Kittei'y ;  the  next  four  on  what 
was  then,  and  is  now,  called  Hog  Island  or  Appledore, 
the  most  picturesque  of  the  "  Shoals."  Soon  after  he 
was  8  years  old,  he,  with  his  father,  removed  to  Edgar- 
town,  on  the  Island  of  Marthas  Vineyard,  Dukes  Co., 
Mass.,  wdiere  he  lived  till  the  autunm  of  1713,  when  he 
removed,  with  his  family,  to  Lel^anon,  New  London  Co.,

was  then  named  in  the  ^\■ill  of  William  A'inson,  of 
Edo-artoA^n,  as  one  to  see  that  its  jn-ovisions  were 
faithfully  executed.  His  first  ])urchase  of  land,  as  per 
record,  was  made,  Mai".  l;i,  1(598-4,  of  Thomas  Wallen, 
for  £'10.  It  consisted  of  Meadow  at  Manado,  l)y  the 
beach,  one  share  called  the  Purchase,  10  acres  upland  a 
half  mile  from  the  harbor,  adjoining  Mill  Path,  and  half 
of  Connnon.  He  o^vned  several  shares  of  land  u|)on  the 
Island  of  C'happaquiddick,  across  the  channel,  and  a 
short  distance  S.Ev.  from  the  villao-e  of  E.,  where 
he  kei)t  large  numbers  of  cattle  and  shee]);  his  mark,  a 
"slit  on  y''  Right  Ear."  As  one  of  the  j)roj)rietors  of 
lands  in  Edgartown  he  received  several  shares,  the  first 
in  1(595.  He  made  several  purchases  of  lands  at  Poliog- 
gannut,  near  Jobs  Neck.  Jan.  22,  1701-2,  he  l>ought 
of  his  father,  Andrew  Xewcomb,  for  £50,  a  tract  of  land 
called  Jol)S  Neck,  <:/Z/^/.s-  Sopotaming,  situated  four  miles 
S.W.  from  the  Aillage  of  E.,  and  bounded  on  the  E. 
S.  and  W.  by  the  what  is  now  kno^vn  as  Jobs 
Neck  Pond;  and  in  Feb.  1703-4,  he  bought  two  shares 
land  adioinino-.  Li  1707  there  was  o-ranted  to  him  l)y 
the  freeholders,  a  certain  tract  of  land,  to  extend  from 
his  corner  bounds  of  Jobs  Neck,  next  to  Pohoggannut, 
and  so  to  come  six  rods  al)Ove  his  house,  and  thence 
upon  a  straight  line  to  the  head  of  his  corner  next  to 
Pokitipasses  Neck.  Upon  this  large  farm — the  result 
of  i)ui'chases  and  o-rants  as  above — he  lived  for  man>' 
years.  His  house  must  have  1  >een  in  full  view  of  the 
blue  Atlantic.  In  1710-11  he  bought  of  Susannah, 
widow  of  William  Vinson,  for  £40,  shares  in  meadow 
in  Sanchakantachet  Neck  and  Commonage — now  a  part 
of  the  present  celebrated  camp-meeting  ground  near 
Holmes  Hole,  in  the  town  of  Tislniry.  In  171(5  he 
bought  of  his  stepmother,  Anna  Ne^vcoml),  for  £20,

Edgartown — doul)tless,  as  heir  to  his  father  Andrew. "" 
His  name  appears  several  times  in  land  titles  of  Tisl)ury ; 
and  a  cart  path — still  known  as  "Simon  Newcomb's 
Path'' — leads  to  that  place. 

Mr.  N.'s  earliest  purchase  of  lands  in  Lel)anon,  Ct., 
was  made  of  Israel  and  Mary  Phelps,  Sept.  26,  1711, 
for  £290,  about  160  acres  on  east^vard  side  of  the  town, 
with  the  buildings,  orchards,  gardens,  fences,  fencing 
stuff  and  fruit  trees  thereon ;  also,  50  acres  common

situated  on  south  side  of  Windham  road,  near  Phelps 
hill,  a])out  one  and  a  half  nnles  N.Ey.  from  Lel)anon 
village,  and  al:)Out  three-fourths  of  a  mile  beyond

land  of  Mr.  Sanuiel  Bliss  southeast wardly  and  lying

lived  upon  this  farm,  one  of  the  very  best  in  the  town, 
nearly  a  third  of  a  century,  or  until  his  death,  when  it 
went  by  will  to  his  son  Simon,  who  sold  it,  in  1761,  for 
£750,  to  Silas  Sprague,  by  Avhom  it  was  conveyed  the

land  in  L.  He  also  gave  farms  to  each  of  his  sons 
(except  Simon,  who  received  the  homestead  ),  the  con- 
sideration being  "love,  good  \vill  and  aflection.''"'  Mr.

Dec.  25,  1742. 

Mr.  X.  never  settled  in  Falltown,  but  his  sons  Silas^ 
andPeter'  removed  there  from  Lebanon  al)Out  1740-1, 
and  remained  four  or  five  years.  In  1744  was  com- 
menced the  French  and  Indian  War,  the  etlect  of  Avhich 
was  most  disastrous  to  the  settlers.  So  frequent  were 
the  incursions  of  the  roving  bands  of  Indians,  and  so 
great  was  the  danger  and  alarm  of  the  people,  that  about 
that  time  the  settlements  of  Falltown  were  mostly  al)an- 
doued,  a  few  ]>ersons  only  remaining,  and  they  lived  in 
stockade  or  fortilied  houses  called  forts.  Silas'  and 
Peter'  therefore  were  com})elled  to  leave,  and  returned 
to  L.  Subsequently,  Hezekiah^  and  William,'  sons  of 
Peter,'  settled  on  adjoining  farms  on  the  "Xewcoml)

a  farmer;  d.  Apr.  17,  1832,  and  was  interred  upon  his

now  owned  Ijy  his  grands.,  David  Harris  Newcomb.' 
One  well  acquainted  with  Mr.  N.  wrote :  "  He  was  of 
kindly  disposition,  affectionate  in  his  nature,  religiously 
disposed,  moral  in  his  habits,  rigidly  honest  in  his  deal-

curred in  the  latter  years  of  his  life  which  marks  the 
estimation  in  which  his  integrity  was  held.  His  sons 
John  and  Daniel  W.  had  built  2  schooners,  and  Mr.  N. 
and  his  son  Ma^diew  were  bound  for  the  rigging  and 
supplies  to  a  firm  in  Halifax.  Both  vessels  were  cast 
away,  and  as  a  conse(pience  they  were  called  upon  for 
the  money,  sued,  and  writs  of  execution  issued.  The 
time  allowed  l)y  law  having  expired,  they  presented 
themselves  to  the  sheriff  at  the  jail,  taking  with  them

that  when  he  wanted  them  he  would  call  for  them. 
They  were  left  alone  for  6  or  7  years,  at  which  time 
they  paid  off  the  debt  of  £300  or  £400— principal  and

92  Dr.  Simon  Jfewcomb"  (Simon"  Thomas"  Si- 

mon^  Andreio^  Andrei &)^  was  b.  in  Nine  Partners,  now 
Pleasant  Valley,  Dutchess  Co.,  N.  Y.,  June  5, 1779.  He 
commenced  life's  career  in  tlie  stormy  days  of  the  Revo- 
lution, and  the  firm  decision,  stern  integrity,  and  unos- 
tentatious dignity  of  those  times  seem  to  have  been 
inherited  by  him,  and  were  the  prominent  traits  of  his 
character  through  life.  To  attempt  anything  like  a 
sketch  of  Dr.  Newcomb's  history  would  l)e  to  write  a 
volume,  for  he  was  prominently  identified  mtli  j^rofes- 
sional,  financial,  political  and  religious  life  for  more  than 
70  years.  During  his  infancy  his  father  removed  to 
Pittstown,  Rensselaer  Co.,  in  the  vicinity  of  which  he 
spent  most  of  his  days.     Apr.  11,  1796,  he  counted  the

longest  day  of  liis  life,  ^vllicll  is  scarcely  surprising  when 
the  fact  is  known  that  he  had  commenced  to  teach  a 
district  school  and  was  not  quite  seventeen  !  The  school 
was  in  Millertowu  District,  now  North  Pittstown.  The 
proceeds  of  his  summer's  labor  he  expended  the  foll()^v- 
inof  winter  in  hoard  and  clotliini2f  while  attendintf-  school. 
In  the  spring  he  returned  to  the  same  ])lace  and  taught 
2  3^ears.  In  Feb.  1798  he  listened  to  powerful  discourses 
by  the  eccentric  Lorenzo  Dow,  and  Timothy  Dewey,  and 
was  so  affected  l)y  them  that  he  always  attributed  his 
attachment  to  the  Christian  faith  to  their  evangelical 
lal)ors.  He  joined  the  M.  E.  chh.  the  following  month, 
and  remained  an  honored  memljer  of  the  same  until 
called  to  his  reward. 

In  the  spring  of  1799  he  set  out  on  foot  for  Alford, 
Mass. ;  but,  being  disapjiointed  in  his  business  anticipa- 
tions, he  changed  his  plans,  and  began  studying  medi- 
cine with  Dr.  John  Hurll)ert,  remaining  one  year. 
Stiulied  suljsecpiently  mth  Drs.  Nehemiah  King,  Ezekiel 
Baker  and  David  Doolittle,  4  years  in  all.  Commenced 
])ractice  in  May,  1802,  and  through  professional  skill, 
])romptness,  and  an  honest  endeavor  spiinging  fi'om 
conscientious  convictions  to  do  all  the  good  possible, 
he  arose  to  eminence  in  his  profession  and  secured  a 
competence  for  himself  and  family.  He  m.  June  5,  1802,

little  village  one  mile  N.  E.  of  Tomhannock,  in  the  town 
of  Pittstown.  Through  the  influence  of  Mr.  N,  a  min- 
ister was  secured,  a  chli.  organized,  and  a  house  of  wor- 
ship built.  He  was  the  first  ])ostmaster  at  Tomhannock 
and  at  Prospect  Hill,  now  Johnsonville,  and  held  the 
office  27  years  consecutively.  He  was  a  justice  of  the 
peace  12  years,  supervisor  3  years,  and  U.  S.  assessor  2 
years.  Dr.  N.  was  for  many  years  school  commissioner, 
trustee,  overseer  of  poor,  town  clerk,  commissioner  of 
deeds,  master  in  chancery,  class  leader,  chh.  trustee,  mer- 
chant and  farmer;  though  occupying  numerous  situa-

tions  of  trust  in  political  life,  he  was  never  charged,  even 
by  his  opponents,  with  a  dereliction  of  his  official  duties.

ten in  1820,  at  the  age  of  41 ;  the  autograph  accompany-

In  1814,  at  invasion  of  Plattsi  )urgh,  he  volunteered

suddenly  in  an  omnil^us  while  returning  from  Alljany 
to  Lansingburgh,  May  15,  1859.  In  1822  Dr.  N.  sold 
his  farm  at  Tomhannock  and  removed  to  Prospect  Hill, 
where  he  purchased  a  farm  and  resided  10  years ;  he 
afterward  removed  to  the  uppei'  end  of  Schaghticoke, 
where  he  remained  1 1  years ;  thence  again  to  Tomhan- 
nock, where  he  lived  until  1853,  when  he  removed  to

in  London,  Eng.,  in  1712,  by  the  assignees  of  Thomas 
Newcome  and  Henry  Hill,  deceased.  He  also  had  his 
grandf 's  old  account  book,  to  which  reference  has  been 
made  on  j^age  38  of  this  work.  His  g.  grandf,  Simon 
Newcomb,'  had  139  g.  grandch.  Ijearing  the  name'  of 
Newcomb ;  Mr.  N.  ^vas  the  last  survivor  of  this  large 
number.  Dr.  N.'s  social  qualities,  even  in  advanced 
years,  endeared  him  to  the  young  as  well  as  to  the  aged ; 
and  all  who  came  in  contact  mth  him  Avere  made  wiser 
and  better  by  his  genial  and  intelligent  conversation. 


13()  THE    NEWCOMB    FAMILY. 

Ever  true  to  his  country,  his  T)ouuty  flowed  to  the 
deserving  but  destitute  defenders  of  its  lil)erties,  and 
many  cases  might  l)e  given  of  his  patriotic  devotion 
and  practical  benevolence  extended  to  the  wounded  and 
suffering  soldiers  of  the  War  of  1812. 

The  foUoAving  extract  is  taken  from  an  obituary 
notice  which  appeared  in  the  N.  Y.  Christian  Advocate : 

In  many  respects  Dr.  Xewcomb  was  a  remarkable  man.  First, 
as  to  his  great  age.  He  lived  to  within  eight  years  of  a  centnry 
—  twenty-two  years  beyond  the  time  alloted  to  man  in  his  earthly 
pilgrimage.  He  was  older  than  the  nation,  knew  Washington, 
Franklin,  and  the  elder  Adams,  and  was  familiar  with  the  passing 
events  of  our  national  history,  from  the  signing  of  the  Declaration 
of  Independence  down  to  the  issuing  of  the  Emancipation  Pro- 
clamation. He  retained  in  a  wonderful  degree  his  mental  faculties 
to  the  last,  discussing  the  live  issues  of  the  day  in  Church  and 
State  with  the  fluency  and  sagacity  of  his  earlier  manhood. 

His  Christian  career  was  remarkable  in  its  consistency  as  well 
as  in  its  duration.  For  seventy-two  years  he  sought  to  magnify 
that  grace  which  called  him  into  the  service  of  his  Divine  Master. 
Seventy-two  years  of  watching  and  waiting,  of  trials  and  triumphs, 
of  temptations  and  tears:  three  and  a  half  score  of  years  in  the 
front  of  the  fight,  contending  for  the  faith,  and  marching  on  to 
victory!  Seventy-two  years  in  the  Christian  ranks,  uncon- 
ditionally loyal,  unflinchingly  true,  and  unhesitatingly  devotional, 
is  a  higher  eulogy  for  a  man  than  though  he  had  worn  a  crown, 
having  won  an  empire.  But  the  sunset  of  his  life  was  more 
beautiful  than  when  in  its  meridian  splendor.  Death  to  him  was 
the  occasion  of  no  surprise  or  alarm.  As  he  drew  near  the  closing 
scene,  and  his  physical  energies  failed  him,  his  faith  became 
intensified  and  clearer,  and  farther  reaching  his  spiritual  vision. 
The  monster  of  the  grave  never  had  fewer  terrors  than  when  the 
white-haired  old  patriarch  looked  him  in  the  face.  The  river  of 
storms  was  never  calmer  than  when  he  stepped  into  its  dark 
waters.  Death  was  never  more  like  sleep  than  when  Dr.  New- 
comb  breathed  his  last.  He  seemed  "  to  wrap  the  drapery  of  his 
couch  about  him "'  and  then  "  lie  down  to  pleasant  dreams."  His 
death  had  not  been  looked  for  during  the  previous  week,  but  was 
sudden  when  it  came.  The  rotten  frame-work  could  not  bear  the 
strain  of  the  powerful  engine  that  worked  so  incessantly  within 
it,  and  when  that  gave  way  the  machinery  stood  still.  He  died, 
as  he  lived,  a  Christian.  Saturday  night,  November  19,  he  was 
still  the  veteran  priest  of  his  family.  Sabbath  morning,  as  the 
sun  flung  his  first  beams  upon  the  roof  of  his  dwelling,  his 
pilgrimage  on  earth  closed,  and  he  was  a  traveler  in  another 
country.

^vas  iiuirehed  witli  his  hands  tied  l)ehind  him,  in  com- 
pany with  60  other  white  men,  under  Lieut.  Phelps,  to 
St.  Lawrence  River,  and  from  thence  conveyed  l)y  boat 
to  Montreal,  and  sold  to  the  British  for  T)lankets,  guns, 
ammunition,  tomahawks,  scalping-knives,  whiskey,  etc. 
He  was  kept  in  prison  at  M.  for  some  time,  during  which 
a  British  officer  came  to  the  prison  and  called  for  the 
two  strongest  men  among  the  600  prisoners ;  Mr.  New- 
<3onib  and  an  L'ishman  named  Halstead  were  selected 
and  set  at  work  on  the  fortifications,  carrying  stone  on 
a  hand-barrow ;  after  working  a  few  days  they  broke 
guard  and  escaped  south  into  the  wilderness,  and  suc- 
ceeded in  eluding  ])ursnit  by  the  British  and  Lidians. 
They  traveled  29  days  as  nearly  south  as  they  could, 
subsisting  in  the  meantime  on  1  loaf  of  bread,  1  i'al)bit, 
2  frogs,  and  what  bark  and  roots  they  could  find. 
During  the  time  they  often  became  so  famished  and 
exhausted  that  they  would  lie  down,  believing  that 
they  must  die,  until  on  the  29th  day  of  their  wander- 
ings they  were  found  by  3  hunters,  in  so  famished  a 
condition  they  could  hardly  crawl  on  their  hands  and 
knees.  The  first  salutation  of  the  hunters  was:  "Are 
you  for  George  Washington  or  King  George  ? "  They 
answered  :  "  George  Washington ! "  upon  which  the 
hunters  approached  them  and,  on  viewing  their  bruised, 
emaciated  and  naked  condition,  wept  like  childi-en. 
Their  shoes  w^ere  gone,  and  they  had  toi'n  their  clothes 
piecemeal  to  wraj:)  up  and  save  their  1  )leeding  feet.  The 
hunters  carried  them  about  3  miles,  reaching  a  colonial 
settlement  at  the  Upper  Cowas  or  Ox1)Oav,  near  the 
head  of  the  Connecticut  river ;  they  reached  home  about

a  strict  Presbyterian ;  with  him  the  Sabbath  ^vas  held 
sacred.  He  once  mistook  Sunday  for  Saturday,  and  set 
his  son  Obadiall  hauling  wood ;  his  wife  churned  the 
butter  and  pounded  the  salt.  On  being  apprised  of  their 
mistake  bv  a  neio'hl;)or,  he  at  once  made  his  sou  haul  back 
all  the  wood  and  place  it  where  he  found  it.  It  has  been 
stated,  on  good  authority,  that  he  once  had  j)a])ers  in  his 
possession  which  contained  a  genealogy  of  the  Xewcoml) 
family,  l^rought  to  Cornwallis  in  1760  by  the  first  New- 
comb  settlers:  the  2:enealooT  extended  back  many  o-en- 
erations,  was  written  in  Scripture  phraseology — "which 
was  the  son  of,"  etc.  According  to  this  genealogy  the 
family  came  from  "  the  West  of  England."  These  papers 
had  been  preserved  at  the  old  homestead  of  his  father, 
but  when  search  was  made  foi-  them  a  few  years  since, 
it  was  found  they  had  l)een  destroyed  l)y  children  as

visor.  He  m.  July  13,  1825,  Patience  Viele,  eldest  dan. 
of  Abraham  L.  and  Hannah  (Douglass)  Viele  of  Pitts- 
town,  where  she  was  h.  Feb.  5,  1804.  Immediately  after 
their  marriage,  Mr.  and  Mrs.  N.  removed  to  Essex  Co., 
then  a  wild  region  of  the  Adirondacks,  where  they  resided 
4  or  5  years,  when  they  returned  to  Pittstown.  Mr. 
Newcoml)'s  ambition  was  to  become  a  large  agricidtur- 
ist ;  he  decided  therefore  to  explore  the  "  Great  West." 
Early  in  Jan.  1837,  lie  left  his  home  and  traveled  alone 
on  horseback  (the  snow  l)eing  in  man}"  places  2  feet  deep) 
through  N.  Y.,  Upper  Canada,  Mich.,  Ind.  and  111.  to  the 
Mississippi  river,  crossed  the -river  into  what  is  now  la. 
(then  Wisconsin  Territory),  and  after  his  explorations, 
decided  to  settle  on  the  west  side  of  the  "  Father  of  Wa- 
ters." In  Sept.  Mr.  and  Mrs.  N.  emigrated  with  Mi's. 
Newcoml)'s  parents  and  family,  arriving  in  la.  Nov.  10, 
1837.  They  located  in  a  l)eautiful  part  of  the  country, 
on  the  Mississippi  river,  about  15  miles  l)elow  Rock 
Island,  and  took  possession  of  a  log  cal:)in.  At  this  time 
there  were  l)ut  2  counties  in  all  that  is  noAv  la.,  Dubuque 
and  Des  Moines.  Here  they  resided  several  years,  and 
endured  the  labor,  fatigue  and  privations  incident  to 
settling  and  opening  a  farm  in  a  new  country.  Here 
Mr.  N.  found  ample  scope  for  gratifying  his  aml)ition — 
here  he  became  a  "large  agriculturist."  The  })roceeds 
and  profits  of  his  estate,  under  his  wise  management  and 
untirino^  industry,  accumulated  into  a  laro-e  fortune. 

At  an  early  day,  seeino;  that  the  location  of  the  site 
of  the  present  town  of  Davenport  was  surpassingly 
beautiful,  even  in  a  state  of  nature,  he  decided  to  make 
it  his  future  home.  Accordingly,  in  1853,  he  I'emoved 
to  that  city,  and  erected  a  fine  residence  on  spacious 
grounds,  known  as  the  "Newcomb  Mansion."  In  this 
lovely  home,  which  commands  a  charming  view  of  the 
Mississippi  river  and  Rock  Island,  he  spent  the  remain- 
der of  his  days,  dispensing  the  same  generous  hospitality 
that  he  had  done  in  his  cabin  in  the  country.  He  d. 
Dec.  22, 1870,  of  apoplexy,  beloved  and  respected  by  all 
who  knew  him. 


268  THE    NEWCOJIB    FAMILY. 

Mr.  N.  was  a  man  of  little  or  no  personal  j^retensions, 
unusuall}'  retiring,  remarkable  for  sonnd  jndgment  and 
close  observation,  liis  ni)riglituess  unquestionable,  cor- 
rect in  all  his  dealings  —  so  generous  to  the  needy  and 
kind  to  the  poor  he  was  often  called  "the  poor  man's 
friend."  The  golden  rule,  "Do  to  others  as  you  w^ould 
have  others  do  to  you,''  was  the  law  of  his  life.  No  man 
could  with  truth  charge  him  with  injustice  or  oppression 
in  a  l)usiness  transaction,  and  all  trusts  committed  to  him 
were  scrupulously  performed.  The  sternness  of  his  char- 
acter was  equaled  only  by  his  goodness,  temjjerance  and 
integrity.  Though  never  a  member  of  any  Christian 
denomination  (his  sympathies  were  with  the  old  school 
Presbyterians),  }^et  he  always  entertained  a  profound 
respect  for  religion  and  its  ordinances,  and  manifested 
his  sense  of  duty  Ijy  an  habitual  attendance  at  the  house 
of  worship.  He  lived  and  died  in  the  assurance  of  a 
blessed  immortality.  He  often  said  his  hoj^e  of  heaven 
was  unclouded,  that  death  to  him  had  no  terrors,  the 
silent  grave  no  gloom.  Ts  o  words  more  fully  represented 
his  feelings  than  the  following :  "  I  know  that  m}^  Re- 
deemer liveth;"  he  expressed  this  sentiment  in  these 
words  a  short  time  previous  to  his  death.  His  character 
may  be  thus  brietly  summed  up:  to  a  sound  judgment 
and  uprightness  of  heart  and  life  he  united  great  energy 
and  untirino;  industry  in  all  afiairs  of  business.  His 
remains  rest  in  the  family  grounds  in  Oak  Dale  Ceme- 
tery, Davenport. 

Mrs.  ISTewcomiys  father,  Abraham  L.  Viele,  was  b.  at 
"The  Valley,"  now  A' alley  Falls,  in  the  town  of  Pitts- 
town,  Rensselaer  Co.,  N.  Y.,  Oct.  8,  1772,  and  d.  at  his 
residence  in  Muscatine  Co.,  Iowa,  May  17,  1840;  his 
father,  Lodewecus  Yiele,  settled  at  "  The  Valley"  a  little 
more  than  100  years  ago.  Mrs.  Newcomb's  mother, 
Hannah  (only  dau.  of  Major  Samuel  Douglass),  was 
b.  in  the  town  of  Pittstown,  N.  Y.,  Oct.  21,  1781 ;  d.  in 
the  city  of  Muscatine,  Iowa,  Mar.  10,  1846;  she  rests 
by  side  of  her  husband  in  Oak  Dale  Cemetery  at  Daven- 
port, in  same  lot  with  their  son-in-law,  Mr.  Newcomb.

THE    NEWCOMB    FAMILY.  269 

Mrs.  Newcomb's  long  devotion  to  her  husband,  to  his 
memory,  is  not  more  marked  than  her  benevolence  in 
every  good  work  about  her  by  which  the  happiness  or 
well-being  of  others  may  be  promoted ;  she  unites  in 
her  character  those  qualities  which  have  ever  rendered 
woman  a  blessing  to  the  world.  She  has  erected  to  her 
husband's  memory,  in  Davenport,  the  Newcomb  Memo- 
rial Chapel.     Mr.  and  Mrs.  N.  had  no  issue.

N.  resided  upon  his  father's  farm  in  Pittstown,  and  in- 
herited it  after  his  decease.  Active,  untiring  and  well 
informed,  he  engaged  at  an  early  day  in  mercantile  pur- 
suits; sold  his  farm  and  settled  in  the  citv  of  Trov  in 
1840,  where  he  established  an  extensive  and  lucrative 
trade  in  the  drug  business.  Removed,  1842,  to  Lansing- 
burgh,  and  in  1848  to  Albany,  N.  Y.,  when  he  retired 
from  l)usiness  with  a  competence.  Here  he  continued  to 
reside  until  his  decease;  he  d.  at  his  residence  in  Madi- 
son Avenue,  June  4, 1870.  In  business  he  was  prompt, 
accurate  and  of  scrupulous  and  unswerving  integrity; 
up  to  the  time  of  his  death  he  enjoyed  the  respect  and 
esteem  of  all  who  knew  him.  A  kind,  aifectionate  hus- 
band and  father,  retined  and  delicate  in  his  feelings, 
thorouo;hlv  domestic  in  his  tastes,  unassumino;,  kind- 
hearted,  delighting  in  the  retiracy  of  a  happy  home,  a 
patriarch  among  his  unusually  large  family,  he  bore  the 
weio'ht  of  years  ^A^ith  such  vivacity'  and  such  a  spirit  of 
youth  that  he  seemed  scarcely  advanced  beyond  the 
prime  of  life.  Of  firm  religious  convictions  and  equally 
settled  in  his  political  opinions,  he  respected  the  views 
and  sentiments  of  others,  and  while  listening;  with 
patience,  could  refute  with  judgment.     Since  Mr.  New-

93d  Regt.  N.  Y.  Vols. ;  was  disch.  at  camp  before  Petersburgh, 
Va.,  Jan.  15,  1865.  While  at  North  Anna  River,  Va.,  May 
24,  1864,  acting  as  personal  aid  on  staff  of  Brig.-Gen.  Peirce, 
he  was  wounded  by  the  explosion  of  a  shell,  fracturing  and 
dislocating  right  foot  and  unkle,  and  contusing  whole  frame. 
At  this  time  he  was  lieut.  of  Co.  C.  He  was  promoted  capt. 
from  Oct.  6,  1864;  detached  for  a  time  from  his  Co..  and 
served  on  staff  of  Gen.  Mott  as  assistant  mustering-in  officer, 
3d  Div.,  2d  Corps.  Brig.-Gren.  John  S.  Crocker  wrote  Gov. 
Fenton  of  N.  Y.  requesting  that  Mr.  Newcomb  be  commis- 
sioned brevet  lieut.-col.  and  brevet  col.,  for  brave  and  valuable 
services  at  battles  of  the  Wilderness,  Spottsylvania  and  Xorth 
Anna.  He  served  3  years  in  his  command,  always  efficient, 
and  one  of  the  bravest  men  he  ever  saw.  Served  on  his  brigade 
staff  through  above-mentioned  battles  and  until  dangerously 
wounded.  At  Spottsylvania  all  his  staff  but  Mr.  N.  had  been 
wounded,  and  thus  extraordinary  services  were  required  of 
him.  May  12,  1864,  the  lirigade  charged  and  captured  the 
enemy's  works  and  many  heavy  guns.  To  secure  these  it 
was  necessary  to  push  forward  a  few  hundred  men,  and  vol- 
unteers were  called  for.  The  men  were  obtained,  but  Mr.  N. 
was  the  only  officer  that  would  volunteer  for  the  occasion. 
Gen.  Crocker,  with  Mr.  N.  and  the  men,  moved  forward, 
accomplishing  the  desired  object.  The  danger  of  the  move- 
ment may  be  estimated  from  the  fact  that  more  than  two- 
thirds  of  the  men  engaged  in  it  were  either  killed  or  wounded. 
He  considered  Mr.  N.  one  of  the  bravest  and  most  efficient 
officers  in  his  brigade  of  9  regiments.  At  Spottsylvania  he 
won  the  special  commendation  of  Gen.  Birney  commanding- 
the  division.  Mr.  N.  is  engaged  in  the  practice  of  medicine 
at  Georgetown,  D.  C.  He  m.  at  Johnsonville,  X.  Y.,  Nov.  3,.

Westchester  Co. ;  from  John  A.  Gillett,  his  private  tutor, 
in  mathematics,  and  Prof.  Amos  Eaton,  in  science;  gradu- 
ated in  medicine  at  Vermont  Medical  Academy  at  Cas- 
tleton,  l)eing  one  of  the  3  valedictorians,  having  during 
his  term  of  8  years'  study  taken  courses  of  lectures  in 
New  York  and  Philadelphia,  and  s})ent  some  time  in 
France.  He  then  l)ecame  house  surgeon  of  the  hospital 
de])artment  of  the  Albany  almshouse;  I'emained  one 
year,  when  he  opened  an  office  in  the  city  of  Alljauy, 
and  hecame  connected  in  practice  with  Dr.  Henry  Van 
Antwerp.  Suljsequently  he  formed  a  partnership  with 
his  Ijrother-in-law,  Thomas  W.  Newcomb,'  in  wholesale 
drug  business  at  Troy. 

Dr.  N.  has  always  l)een  a  close  student^  with  a  7:>^7?- 
cl/a/it  for  scientific  I'esearch ;  and,  believing  that  to 
understand  geology  in  the  later  formations  required  a 
knowledge  of  the  fossil  contents  of  the  rocks,  he  early 
directed  his  attention  to  the  study  of  conchology  as  the 
alphabet  of  paleontology,  a  branch  of  science  which  has 
changed  the  whole  character  of  geology,  and  reduced  it 
to  a  more  peifect  science.  He  is  at  present  the  most  dis- 
tinguished conchologist  in  America.  Upon  his  second 
visit  to  Europe  he  was  cordially  received,  and  even  feted, 
by  some  of  the  most  celebrated  .miuf/it.s  of  London  and 
Paris.  During  a  i-esidence  of  5  years  at  Honolulu,  Sand- 
wich Islands,  he  enjoyed  facilities  for  collecting  the  land 
shells  of  the  entii'e  group ;  and  as  one  result  of  his  labors 
may  be  mentioned  his  description  of  over  100  new  species 
of  the  genus  achafhiella,  the  larger  part  ])ul)lished  in 
the  Zooloo-ical  Proceedino-s  of  London,  the  l)alance  h\

Ti-yon's  Conch.  Jour.,  and  in  Proceedings  of  Cal.  Acad, 
of  Nat.  Sciences.  Li  his  various  explorations  in  Euroj)e,

THE   NEWCOMB    FAMILY.  275 

j)artiiieiits  of  natural  history;  his  vast  acquisitions  ol)- 
tained  hj  dredging,  employing  divers,  and  by  personal 
search  on  the  shores  of  different  countries,  have  found  a 
litting  resting-place  in  the  museum  of  Cornell  University 
at  Ithaca,  N.  Y.  For  the  last  4  years  Dr.  N.  has  been 
connected  with  that  noljle  institution,  and  has  filled 
more  than  20,000  tal)lets  with  the  shells  of  moluscous 
animals  cai'efully  named  and  classified.  He  has  also 
added  many  thousand  specimens  from  the  i-adlata^  ar- 
ticiihita  and  veiiehrata.  The  collection  occupies  over 
2,000  sfpiare  feet  of  surface,  and  was  })urchased  for  about 
$20,000.  The  mineral  and  geological  collection  has  also 
l)een. greatly  enriched  by  additions  from  South  America, 
and  es])ecially  from  the  State  of  Nevada.  In  1857  Dr. 
N.  established  himself  in  the  practice  of  his  profession 
in  Oakland,  Cal.  During  the  12  years  spent  there  he 
descri])ed  many  of  the  helices  of  that  State,  also  fresh 
water  and  marine  species;  delivered  a  course  of  lectures 
on  natural  history  in  the  Cal.  College  at  that  place.     In 

1870  he  accompanied  the  Santo  Domingo  commissioners 
as  sanitary  expert.  During  the  expedition  he  discovered 
the  hitherto  unknown  locality  of  La  March's  helicina 
viridis.  His  collection  of  new  species  are  now  being 
described   in    the   Jojwnal  de   Concliologie^  Paris.      In 

1871  Dr.  N.  was  appointed  by  the  President  of  the 
U.  S.  as  one  of  3  commissioners  to  investigate  the  Sutro 
Tunnel,  a  mining  project  of  great  importance,  leading 
from  Carson  Valley  to  Virginia  City;  the  report  met 
with  the  approval  of  the  Grovernment.  The  winter  of 
1872-3  was  passed  in  south  Florida,  making  exj^lora- 
tions  and  adding  to  his  collection  in  zoology  and  botany, 
now  to  be  seen  in  many  collections,  l)oth  puljlic  and 
private,  in  Euroj^e  and  America.  In  his  numerous  ex- 
peditions he  has  been  accompanied,  except  in  two  or 
three  instances,  by  his  wife,  whose  skill  in  delineating 
delicate  and  perishable  specimens  with  her  pencil  has 
been  of  great  service,  and  whose  aid  in  preserving  them 
has  been  of  great  value.

We  eniiijrated  to  Iowa  in  1851.  and  "made  a  claim"  about  midway  between 
Elkadorand  West  Union,  two  little  hamlets  thea,  but  now  tlirivins  towns,  as  well  as 
county  seats.  No  house  being  near  our  claim,  we  had  no  alternative  but  to  live  in 
a  tent  wliile  our  men  —  my  liusband  and  Ai  —  could  erect  our  future  dwelling.  In 
a  grove  not  very  far  off,  tliey  found  the  finest  and  strai^htest  poplar  logs;  and  as 
fast  as  they  drew  them  up  we  women  folks,  with  the  aid  of  draw-shave  and  hatchet, 
peeled  ofl'the  bark,  leaving  them  white  and  smooth.  When  the  weather  was  fair, 
tent-life  was  very  agreeable:  but  sometimes  we  would  have  liked  to  be  excused. 
One  day,  I  recollect,  when  they  had  gone  with  the  ox-team  some  four  or  five  miles 
for  shingle-timber,  we  spent  the  time  in  putting  our  tent  in  order  and  beautifying 
things  generally.  Late  in  the  afternoon,  the  frequent  reiterations  of  the  teamster's 
"whoa  haw  "  gave  us  assurances  that  the  men  would  soon  be  wanting  their  supper. 
So  placing  a  hu!ie  "  johnny-cake  "  in  the  oven  (for  we  were  nine  in  number,  one 
being  sone),  and  the  meat  on  the  stove,  we  commenced  setting  the  table  just  out- 
side the  door,  still  expecting  the  men  every  instant,  we  could  hear  them  so  plainly. 
But  the  supper  was  cooked,  and  the  sky  grew  cloudy,  but  still  no  men.  Rain-drops 
fell  occasionally,  and  a  black  wnd-cloucl  spread  itself  out  threateningly,  and  as  we 
were  guessing  what  it  would  amount  to,  the  tent  began  to  writhe  and  wriggle;  the

stakes  £;ave  way,  and  a  sudden  gust  of  wind  lifted  the  whole  affair  up  high  in  the 
air,  and  then  laid  it  tlapping  on  the  ground  some  way  oft'.  Just  then  the  rain  came 
down  in  a  torrent,  tlie  lire  in  the  stove  was  quenched  in  a  moment,  and  we  stood 
gaping  lil<e  so  many  mermtiids  or  drowned  rats, —  if  they  ever  do  sjape.  Not  a  house 
within  three  miles,' nothing  like  a  shelter  except  the  covered  wagon  box  which  sat 
on  the  ground  near.  So  to  this  we  retreated,  each  one  loaded  with  valuables  — 
babies,  supper  and  lamp.  As  it  grew  dusk  the  voice  of  the  teamster  ceased,  and 
intense  anxiety  was  added  to  our  physical  annoyances.  We  had  stayed  there  on 
that  strange,  lone  prairie,  in  pitchy  darkness,  two  or  tliree  hours,  when  the  absentees 
made  their  appearance,  guided  only  by  the  faint  light  of  our  lamp.  After  taking 
otfa  part  of  their  wet  clothing  and  wrapping  themselves  in  quilts,  they  crept  under 
our  scanty  shelter.  The  first  part  of  the  night  my  husband  was  shaking  with  an 
ague  chill,  and  the  latter  part  burning  with  a  fever.  All  night  long  we  sat,  wedged 
in  together,  my  son's  wife  and  I  with  each  a  babe  in  her  lap.  How  we  did  bless 
the  morning  light,  which  came  as  sunny  and  cheerful  as  if  Nature  had  behaved  her- 
self the  night  before!  In  the  course' of  the  day  the  mystery  of  the  last  night's 
voices  wasdisclosed.  A  mocking-bird  had  been  taking  lessons  for  the  past  two  or 
three  weeks  till  he  could  shout  "  whoa  haw"  to  utter  perfection.

now  Columbia,  Ct.,  Aug.  28, 1779  ;  tlie  place  was  known 
as  the  2d  Society,  also  Lebanon  Crank.  The  years  1788^ 
1789  and  1790  he  resided  with  his  father's  cousin,  Joseph 
Newcomb,"  2  miles  E.  of  the  chh.  When  he  was  14  years

about  one  mile  in  an  Ey.  direction  from  the  village,  and 
on  right-hand  side  of  road  leading  to  Portage.  Cai)t. 
X.  filled  many  public  trusts;  held  the  ofiiee  of  justice

was  afterward  commissioned  as  capt.  He  received  ap- 
})ointment,  from  Gov.  Clinton,  as  Judge  of  Allegany  Co., 
which  honor  he  declined.  Capt.  N.  had  the  reputation 
of  being  a  practical  joker :  an  instance  is  related  which 
illustrates  his  habit.  Upon  one  occasion,  when  away 
from  liome  and  in  attendance  at  court,  he  took  dinner 
with  others  at  a  pul)lic-liouse.  The  meat  having  been 
})laced  upon  the  table,  one  of  the  men  arose  and,  taking^ 
the  pe])per-box,  plentifully  sprinkled  it,  saying:  "Gen- 
tlemen, I  su])pose  you  are  all  fond  of  pepper."  Capt. 
N.,  who  disliked  even  the  odor  of  pepper,  immediately 
arose,  and,  taking  his  ^vell-filled  toljacco-box  from  his 
])0cket,  scattered  its  contents  over  both  pepper  and  meat, 
remarking,  naively:  "I  suppose,  gentlemen,  you  all  like 
tol^acco."  Mrs.  N.  d.  Apr.  23, 1835,  ae.  55  yrs.  4  mos.  18

father,  in  charge  of  the  lighthouse;  at  the  usual  hour  of  trimming 
the  lamps,  the  storm  was  at  its  lieight — the  foam  tiying  over  the 
tops  of  the  trees,  lighthouse  and  dwellinghouse  ;  by  its  fury,  barns 
full  of  hay  drifted  like  seaweed  before  it ;  in  the  midst  of  the 
storm  she  went  through  the  foam  and  spray,  a  distance  of  20  yai'ds, 
entered  the  lighthouse,  went  up  several  flights  of  stairs,  trimmed 
and  lighted  the  lamps.

*  A  portrait  of  Mr.  Xewcomb  accompanies  this  sketch. 


402  THE    NEWCOMB    FAMILY, 


ALUMNI  POEM. 

As  some  great  bay  tree,  scarred  and  bent  by  years 
And  oft-recurring  tempests,  lends  Ins  aid 

To  some  young  pine  wliich  all  ambitious  rears 

His  head  towards  heaven  through  the  guardian  shade 

So  stood  the  Elder  by  his  galley's  ])row — 

His  hand  upon  the  youth's  unfurrowed  brow. 

He  spoke:  "  O  latest  born!  this  wide  expanse 
Of  boundless  sea,  o'er  which  I  came,  is  mine ; 

This  shore,  whereon  thine  eyes  delighted  glance — 
Greets  buds  of  fairest  promise — this  is  thine. 

But  mark  !  the  bold  waves  gnaw  the  helpless  strand; 

My  sea  shall  one  day  swallow  up  thy  land. 

"  Heroes  and  poets  lie  beneath  that  wave 

In  numbers  greater  than  its  grains  of  sand ; 

The  names  of  some  I  spare ;  Ulysses  brave — 

Sappho  the  fair — the  Argo's  daring  band — 

The  demigods — l)lind  Homer — these  their  names, 

Are  all  my  ancient  reign  which  now  remains. 

"  The  countless  myriads,  great  as  these,  are  lost 
In  dark  oblivion,  which  the  world  I  bring: 
These,  in  their  turn,  will  one  day  join  the  host 

Of  those  whose  deeds  forgotten  none  can  sing. 
For  immortality  is  but  a  word — 
My  centuries  blot  out  both  song  and  sword. 

"  Think  not,  0  Present !  that  within  thy  reign 

Shall  men  be  born  whose  names  shall  ever  live. 
Look  !  read  this  verse  of  one  who  dared  complain 

Because  the  hastening  world  refused  to  give 
The  meed  of  fame  he  asked  for.     Look  !  "  he  said, 
And  gave  a  parchment  to  the  youth,  who  read  : 

"  Where  glutton  crabs  crawl  out  from  spongy  clay 
And  seek  the  stranded,  gasping  fish  among 
The  slimy  reeds,  which  tides  drown  twice  a  day. 
Where  they  are  fiung; 

"  When  mournful  voices  of  the  ebbing  tide 
Intone  the  requiem  of  the  dying  day, 
Upon  the  cold  bay's  time-worn,  hollowed  side, 
A  white  corpse  lay. 

"  Its  staring  eyes  were  scarred  by  cruel  sand ; 
A  seaweed  to  the  pallid  lips  clung  fast; 
One  arm  lay  on  the  breast;  within  the  hand 
A  book  was  clasped. 

"  The  book  held  rhymes  of  him  who  now  lay  dead. 
The  orphaned  children  of  his  brain's  (juick  wit: 
Upon  the  fly-leaf  —  and  in  blood,  'twas  said  — 
These  words  were  writ : 


THE    NEWCOMB    FA^VITLY.  4i>8 


"*0  Life! 
Thou  harlot,  robed  in  white, 
Which  promised  joy  and  gave  but  strife: 
Thou  noonday  changed  to  night ; 

Farewell,  O  Lite ! 

" '  O  Fame  1 
Opals  lav  on  the  strand, 
At  which  i  clutched.     When  morning  came 
My  hand  held  only  sand  ; 
Farewell,  O  Fame! 

" '  O  Hope ! 
Which  urged  my  weary  brain 
To  tasks  beyond  its  feeble  scope. 
And  left  it  racked  by  pain  ;  — 
Farewell,  0  Hope! 

" '  0  Muse : 
Whom  I  so  truly  loved, 
I  kiss  the  latchlets  of  thy  shoes ; 

Through  thee  to  death  I'm  moved  — 

Farewell,  O  Muse! 

" '  O  Death  ! 
Thou  lengthened,  peaceful  sleep  ; 
Thou  sure  relief  from  tiresome  breath ; 
Thou  rest  for  them  that  weep  — 
I  come,  0  death ! ' 


"The  sun  sank  slow  behind  a  blood-red  cloud, 

And  gloomy  fogs  rolled  down  the  darkened  bay 
The  ebb-tide  turned  and  came  with  murmurs  loud 
To  claim  its  prey. 

"  Two  fishers,  hastening  on  their  homeward  way 
With  lusty  strokes,  to  'scape  the  coming  storm. 
Sought  refuge  in  the  crescent  cove,  where  lay 
The  lifeless  form. 

"  The  sea-bruised  poet  in  their  arms  they  took, 
And  through  the  tempest  bore  him  to  the  town 
And  in  the  Dead  House  drear,  where  all  might  look. 
They  laid  him  down. 

"  Then  woke  the  busy  world  with  frightened  start. 
To  read  the  words  the  poet  wrote  in  blood, 
And  cried  —  Alas !  how  sad !     Poor  wounded  heart 
To  die  by  flood. 

"  And,  roused  by  tragic  deed,  they  sought  the  book 
Passed  by  or  scotFed  at  in  the  peaceful  days. 
To  find  its  pages  rich  with  noble  thought. 
Immortal  lays. 

"  Thev  buried  with  great  pomp  the  poet  dead, 
Wiiom  living  they  had  never  deigned  to  know 
Heaped  flowers  above  the  poor  remains  which  fed 
The  worms  below. 


404  THE    NEWOOMB    EA.MILY. 

"  In  gold  and  pearl  tliey  bound  his  poems  rare ; 
They  raised  a  statue  to  his  honored  name  ; 
And  twined  the  laurel  in  its  marble  hair  — 
They  gave  him  —  Fame! 

"  O  cruel  jest !  to  crown  the  soulless  clay 

With  honors  you  denied  in  life!     O  shame! 
To  take  the  sacrifice  of  death  as  pay 
For  empty  Fame  I  " 

Thus  read  the  youth,  and  threw  the  parchment  far 

From  off  the  shore,  and  in  the  restless  wave ; 
His  cheek  Hushed  red,  his  eye  gleamed  like  a  star, 
His  scornful  lips  these  words  of  censure  gave : 
"  Your  heroes,  father,  were  as  vain  as  blind ; 
Mine  strive  not  for  themselves,  but  for  mankind. 

"  My  reigii  will  reap  the  straggling  ears  of  grain, 
Which  ancient  peoples  for  themselves  did  sow  ; 
But  I  will  plant  the  yellow  corn  again, 

That  those  who  come  may  bounteous  harvests  know  : 
For  nobler  '  tis  to  toil  for  unborn  men 
Than  strive  for  selfish  fame  with  sword  or  pen." 

Thus  said  the  youth ;  but  while  he  spoke,  the  wave 
Had  gnawed  the  base  from  out  the  grass-topped  shore, 

Which,  trembling,  sank  into  an  ocean  grave. 
And  youth  and  verdant  land  were  seen  no  more. 

Over  the  place  the  old  man's  galley  crossed; 

The  boasting  Present  in  the  Pant  was  lost.

old;  settled  at  Victoria.  Before  he  was  12  years  old 
(1  )oth  his  parents  then  deceased)  he  had  already  acquired 
a  fair  English  education,  and  had  some  acquaintance 
with  the  classics.  After  his  father's  death  he  served  4 
years  in  a  printing-oflice.  In  1854,  when  17  years  old, 
he  started  a  newspaper  at  San  Antonio,  Texas,  and  made

436  .  THE    NEWCOMB    FAMILY. 

He  again  began  the  newspaper  business,  and  published, 
at  San  Antonio,  the  Alamo  Expres^^  which  rapidly  rose 
to  ])e  one  of  the  j^rincipal  papers  in  the  city,  where  it 
coml)ated  secession  with  undying  vigor  in  the  midst  of 
eiiennes.  May  13,  1861,  4  days  after  the  surrender  of 
Col.  Reeve's  command  of  U.  S.  troops  to  Van  Dorn's 
force,  Mr.  JST.  issued  an  "extra,"  a-ivins;  account  of  the 
surrender  and  some  strictures  on  the  j)erfidy  of  the  trans- 
action ;  at  midnight  of  same  day  a  mob  of  "  Knights  of 
the  Golden  Circle"  and  Rangers  broke  oj)en  his  office, 
destroyed  his  press  and  material,  and  set  fire  to  the 
building;  the  alarm  of  tire  was  given,  the  city  engines 
and  people  turned  out,  but  to  no  purpose ;  the  morning 
light  displayed  the  charred  ruins  of  tlie  Alamo  Express^ 
the  last  Union  paper  in  Texas.  This  caused  great  ex- 
citement, and  for  fear  of  retaliation  the  secession  offices 
were  guarded;  immediately  after,  a  plot  for  the  hanging 
and  banishment  of  150  of  the  most  j^rominent  Union 
men  was  discovered.  The  next  day  after  the  destruction 
of  his  office  Mr.  N.  became  a  refugee;  left  the  city  for 
the  Rio  Grande  and  j^assed  into  Mexico;  organized  a 
party  at  Monterey  to  cross  the  country  to  the  Pacific, 
thence  to  Cal, ;  the  journey  was  successfully  2:>erformed 
amidst  many  dangers  and  hardships,  the  party  arriving 
at  San  Francisco  Feb.  1862.  He  volunteered  to  accom- 
pany the  Union  forces  then  organizing  for  a  campaign 
across  Arizona  to  Texas ;  served  as  a  scout  for  the  army 
in  its  march  from  San  Pedro,  Cal.,  to  the  Rio  Grande ; 
disch.  at  his  request  after  the  army  went  into  perma- 
nent quarters;  returned  to  San  Francisco,  where  he 
jmnted,  in  1862,  a  "  History  of  Secession  Times  in  Texas, 
and  Journal  of  Travel  from  Texas  through  Mexico  to 
California,"  an  octavo  pamphlet  of  33  pp. ;  was  also  editor 
of  the  San  Jose  Tribune.  He  was  minino;  in  Arizona 
during  1864,  making  and  losing  a  fortune.  In  sprnig  ot 
1867  he  returned  to  San  Antonio,  ag;ain  eno-ao-ino;  in  the 
editorial  profession.  He  served  with  honor  as  a  meml:»er 
of  the  Constitutional  Convention  in  1868-69,  which  gave

varied  accomplishments,  ardent  and  warm  hearted,  whose 
will  and  pen  are  always  enlisted  in  the  cause  of  truth 
and  right,  he  has  hosts  of  warm  personal  and  political 
friends,  and  many  political  enemies;  his  engagement  in 
politics  does  not  arise  from  a  love  of  political  life,  l:)ut 
from  a  desire  to  see  good  government  hrmly  planted  in 
his  State ;  his  prominence  has  come  to  him  without  his 
seeking;  though  a  young  man,  he  has  passed  through 
many  trials  and  emergencies,  is  thoroughly  acquainted 
mth  the  history  and  men  of  his  time,  and  whether  in

Mo.,  and  became  passenger  conductor  on  the  Hannibal 
<fe  St.  Joseph  Railroad  the  follo^ving  year.  In  sum- 
mer of  1861  his  train  was  fired  into  repeatedly  by  the 
Rebels,  who  were  well  acquainted  with  his  Union  senti- 
ments; he  several  times  narrowl}^  escaped  being  shot. 
On  the  4th  of  Sept.,  while  stopping  a  few  moments  at 
a  station,  he  was  made  captive  by  a  party  of  moimted 
soldiers  and  taken  away  by  them.  At  night  they  en- 
camped in  a  barn,  and  to  prevent  their  2:)risoner's  escape 
placed  him  between  two  of  his  captors.  Sleep,  while  it 
refused  to  visit  him,  proved  a  valualjle  ally,  for  during 
the  heavy  slumber  of  his  guard  he  contrived  to  free  him- 
self unobserved,  and  taking  one  of  their  horses  was  soon 
out  of  their  reach.  The  night  was  only  starlight ;  after 
riding  some  time  he  could  not  tell  if  he  were  on  the  road 
to  safety  or  not,  when  suddenly  he  was  commanded  to 
halt.  Conjecturing,  what  was  true,  that  he  had  come 
upon  a  Rebel  camp,  he  concluded  not  to  heed  the  order, 
])ut  dashed  ahead.  A  shot  followed  him;  his  horse

daylight  secreted  himself  in  a  cornfield,  where  he  re- 
mained until  evening,  when  he  again  took  up  the  line  of

covered  with  straw  to  a  railroad  station,  from  whence  he 
returned  to  Hannibal.  He  removed  to  Elgin,  111,,  in

able  he  came  from  St.  iVlljans,  in  Hertfordshire,  as  many 
of  the  passengers  were  from  that  place,  Avhich  is  but  a 
few  miles  north  of  London.  There  are  3  parishes  in  St. 
Albans;  in  one  the  records  extend  Ijack  only  to  1643 ;  in 
another  they  have  l;)een  examined  between  dates  1590 
and  1640  without  finding  an  entry  in  the  name  of  New- 
comb  ;  in  the  3d,  where  Mr.  N.  was  probably  baptized 
(if  born  in  that  vicinity),  the  records,  with  the  chh.  were 
destroyed  by  fire  in  1743.  There  is  a  tradition  that  he 
came  from  Oxfordshire,  and  was  of  pure  Saxon  blood. 

*  Braintree,  Quincy  and  Randolph  were  once  included  in  one  town  called  Braintree; 
Qniucy  was  set  off  1792,  Randolph  1793;  a  few  years  a<i;o  "Newcomb's  Landing"  was  set 
off  to  Quincy.  The  chh.  records  of  Q,.  are  the  oldest  of  any  in  the  ancient  town  of  Brain- 
tree.   There  are  now  more  Newcombs  on  the  voting  list  of  Quincy  than  of  any  other  name. 


446  THE    ISTEWCOMB    FAMILY. 

Mr.  N.  owned  several  tracts  of  land  in  Braintree,  as 
ap])ears  1  )y  recoi'd,  a  part  hemg  near  the  iron  works,  and 
another  tract  on  S.  side  of  Monatiqnot  River ;  it  is  highly 
probable  he  lived  at  Quincy  Point  or  the  "  Neck ; "  no  will 
or  settlement  of  his  estate  upon  record.  In  the  records 
of  First  chh.  Boston,  under  Admissions,  is  the  following : 
"The  28'^^  of  y'  12'^  or  last  month  1635  Rachaell  New- 
combe  y''  wife  of  one  Francis  Newcombe."  Again: 
"  the  16*''  of  y*^  12^^  month  1639  "  a  committee  was  chosen 
to  enquire  after  the  spiritual  state  of  11  |)ersons  in  Brain- 
tree,  and  among  the  number  was  "Rachell  y®  wife  of 
Francis  Newcomb."  Mrs.  N.  was  received  in  chh.  at 
Braintree  from  Boston,  5  (1)  1684-5;  no  record  of  her 
death.  The  foUowins;  is  a  facsimile  of  Mr.  N.'s  auto- 
graph  as  witness  to  a  deed  given  by  Peter  Nash  to  John 
Manstield,  July  26,  1662;  it  will  be  noticed  he  wrote 
his  name  Jfrmisis  nucom.

THE    NEWCO:\IB    FAMILY.  479 

Boston — was  very  successful.  He  gave  away  a  great 
deal  of  money,  and  it  seemed  that  "  tlie  more  he  gave 
away  the  more  he  had."  Fi'om  his  piivate  diary  it  ap- 
pears that  l)efoi'e  1832  he  did  not  record  the  amount  of 
his  donations,  which  were  knoAvn  to  have  been  lil)eral ; 
but  in  that  year  he  made,  as  he  termed  it,  "  a  solemn 
covenant,''  that  fi-om  that  time  he  would  appropriate  to 
charital)le  and  religious  objects  all  his  net  income;  ac- 
cordingly, as  long  as  he  was  able  to  transact  business, 
he  fulhlled  his  promise,  giving,  within  the  period  of  16 
years,  to  needy  individuals  and  various  objects  of  reli- 
gious interest,  $12,467.  As  an  example  of  the  devout 
habits  of  his  mind:  as  he  often  consulted  his  pastor 
respecting  the  ap])i'0])riation  of  his  funds,  on  one  occasion 
he  committed  to  him  a  sum  of  money  to  be  transmitted 
to  a  certain  society,  and  soon  met  with  a  serious  loss  by 
the  sinking  of  a  vessel  with  a  valuable  tVeight.  His 
pastor,  thinking  that  the  event  might  modify  his  inten- 
tion to  o;ive  so  much,  called  on  him  and  suo-o'ested  that 
it  might  be  so.  "No,"  replied  Dea.  N.,  "I  have  not 
changed  my  purpose  resjtecting  the  amount  to  give,  ex- 
cept that  I  have  concluded  to  double  it ;  for  I  had  a  son 
in  that  vessel  whose  deliverance  from  death  ^vas  almost 
miraculous,  and  I  feel  bound  to  express  in  this  manner 
my  gratitude  to  God."  He  d.  at  his  home  in  Quincy, 
Sept.  28,  1865,  ae.  nearly  91.  "Venerable  in  his  per- 
son, devout  in  his  life,  ready  for  every  good  word  and 
work,  he  was  for  many  years  a  pillar  to  the  chui'ch  and 
a  lio'ht  to  the  communitv  around  hmi."

ing notice  of  it  is  from  the  Medford  Journal  of  Apr.  1 : 

The  fiftieth  anniversary  of  the  wedded  life  of  Mr.  and  Mrs. 
Norton  Newcomb  Avas  celebrated  by  their  children  and  grand- 
children in  a  manner  both  novel  and  entertaining.  Assembling 
early  on  the  morning  of  March  25th,  they  made  a  forcible  entrance 
into  their  house,  taking  them  by  surprise,  and  overwhelming  them 
with  congratulations  and  earnest  wishes  for  their  future  welfare.  It 
was  a  simple,  unaffected  occasion,  and  like  all  such  it  was  good  and 
pleasant  to  be  there.  There  was  much  of  joy,  and  something  of 
tearful  sorrow ;  there  was  a  golden  tribute  from  every  one,  from 
the  youngest  to  the  oldest;  there  were  messages  of  love  from 
absent  sons ;  there  were  kindly  words  spoken,  recalling  incidents 
of  the  past ;  the  many,  many  mile-stones  in  life's  journey  were 
vividly  brought  before  them,  some  fragrant  with  beauty  and  joy, 
some  sad  with  tender  memories ;  all  these  came  and  went  like  a 
swift  recurring  dream,  until  the  realities  of  their  wedded  life  re- 
vealed themselves  like  unto  "apples  of  gold  in  pictures  of  silver." 
They  could  but  recognize  at  such  a  time  the  kindness  and  mercy

of  that  good  All-Father  who  had  led  them  thus  far  on  their  jour- 
ney; and  the  wish  so  well  expressed  by  one,  was  shared  by  all 
present,  "that  they  might  be  spared  in  health  to  celebrate  their 
diamond  wedding;  and  in  that  higher  and  better  life  there  might 
be  for  them  a  thousand  years,  and  a  golden  immortality."

Quincy  12  years  with  success ;  was  princij)al  of  grammar 
school  in  North  Chelsea  4  years.  A  "  louder  call "  took

tics.  In  spring  of  18(34,  the  citizens  of  Dedhani  pro- 
posed to  send,  at  tlieir  own  expense,  a  teacher  to  the 
freedmen  ;  by  a  remarkable  unanimity — not  one  dissent- 
ing voice — Mr.  N.  was  elected  to  go ;  a  salary  of  $900 
was  raised,  and  he  went  under  auspices  of  New  York 
Relief  Association ;  arrived  at  Beaufort  May  1,  1864. 
Upon  recommendation  of  Gen.  Saxton,  commander  of 
military  post,  he  was  promoted  sup't  of  freedmen's 
schools  in  department  of  the  South,  with  additional 
salary  of  $50  per  month.  This  position  he  held  1^ 
years  with  entire  satisfaction  ;  had  under  llis  charge  up- 
wards of  50  teachers,  who  laljored  zealously  and  accom- 
])lished  a  good  work ;  he  was  present  at  Charlestown  8 
days  after  surrender,  assisted  James  Redpath  in  organ- 
izing all  the  freedmen's  schools.  They  were  first  opened 
Mar.  4,  1865 ;  Mr.  N.  examined  and  admitted  into  the 
schools  60  native  Charlestonians  as  teachers — white  and 
colored.  In  1866  he  was  located  at  Elizabeth  City,  N.  C. 
where  he  experienced  much  opposition ;  his  life  was  in 
jeopardy,  although  no  fault  could  be  found,  only  that 
"  Newcoml)  is  teaching  the  nigger  too  much ;"  was  given 
to  understand  by  anonymous  letters  that  he  must  leave 
the  town  in  3  days,  or  "the  Lord  may  have  mercy  on 
your  l;)lack  soul.'"  He  paid  no  attention  to  threats,  but 
quietly  ^^ursued  his  work  in  full  confidence  and  trust ; 
before  expiration  of  the  3  days  a  Co.  of  U.  S.  troops 
arrived  which  made  all  right ;  was  no  further  molested. 
In  fall  of  1866  he  was  in  Va.,  where  he  contracted  chills 
and  fever,  which  confined  him  at  home  6  months.  In 
fall  of  1867,  left  for  Beaufort,  S.  C,  under  auspices  of 
Missionary  Society  of  M.  E.  chh. ;  joined  South  Carolina 
Mission  Conference,  was  ordained  both  dea.  and  elder, 
had  charge  of  Beaufort  circuit,  which  increased  in  num- 
bers from  159  to  739 — from  one  preaching  place  to  six 
— from  one  chh.  edifice  to  four.  In  Dec.  1870,  was  ap- 
pointed presiding  elder  of  St.  John's  dist.,  Fla. ;  and 
soon  after,  and  greatly  to  his  surprise,  was  appointed  by 
the  President  collector  of  customs  for  port  of  Beaufort, 
S.  C. ;  by  aid  of  a  deputy,  fulfilled  the  duties  of  both

600  TH03IAS  NEWCOMEN. 

Thomas  Newcomen,'  '^'  inventor  of  the  steam  engine, 
a  native  of  Dartmouth,  Devonshire,  England,  was  ap- 
prenticed to  an  ironmonger  in  Exeter,  and  became  so 
practically  accpiainted  with  the  business  as  to  l)e  able 
to  complete,  with  his  own  hands,  unaided,  after  trials 

*  The  author  is  indebted  to  Capt.  Thomas  Lidstone,  of  Dartmouth,  Devonshire,  Eng- 
land, for  facts  respecting  Mr.  N.  and  his  descendants  in  England.  Capt.  L.  has  published 
three  pamphlets  relating  to  the  inventor,  his  family  and  steam  engine;  the  last  is  entitled 
"A  few  Notes  and  Queries  about  Newcomen,  who  made  the  first  Steam  Engine,"  &c. 
Mr.  N.'s  house  in  Dartmouth  was  taken  down  a  few  years  since  and  rebuilt  by  Capt.  L. 
in  memm-iatn.

wonderful  macliine,  tlie  steam  engine.  He  afterward 
exerted  himself  to  introduce  it  into  practical  working 
in  all  parts  of  tlie  kingdom.  In  1729  lie  sought  to 
obtain  a  patent  (his  model  is  still  preserved),  y)ut  while 
in  London  for  that  purpose  was  taken  down  with  fever, 
d.  at  the  house  of  a  friend,  and  was  interred  in  Bunhill 
Fields.  Mr.  N.  was  an  educated  man,  a  Baptist;  he 
preached  occasionally,  and  held  meetings  in  his  house 
in  Dartmouth,  which  caused  him  to  be  prosecuted  ])y 
the  authorities.  His  earnestness  of  purpose  served  him 
in  good  turn  when  he  had  to  overcome  the  immense 
difficulties  which  l)eset  him  in  connection  with  inventing 
and  makina:  "the  first  self-actino;  steam  eno-ine."  The 
importance  of  Mr.  N.'s  invention  has  never  been  fully 
recognized  in  connection  with  his  memory,  yet  he  left 
it  so  complete  that  it  continued  unchanged  and  unim- 
proved for  nearly  100  years.  From  that  time  to  this 
the  whole  civilized  world  has  been  indebted,  for  that 
greater  enjoyment  of  life  which  has  been  increasingly 
possessed  by  succeeding  generations,  to  the  application 
of  steam  power  which  Mr.  N.  originated  in  working 
form,  and  to  which  must  be  further  ascribed  the  rapid 
advance  in  civilization  which  characterizes  the  present 

age.     Mr.  jST.  m.  a  dau.  of Waymouth,  of  Marl-
