PREFACE.

In this genealogy and biography perfection is not claimed,
for the means at hand did not warrant a thorough work, such
as we should have been glad to issue. Nevertheless, we be-
lieve it sufficient to show the direct lineage of any descendant
of the first Waldo of America, if the name should have been
overlooked. So far as possible each branch has been completed,
some reaching to the last, the tenth generation, others only to
the sixth and seventh generations. A work of this kind,
though incomplete, forms a sure basis for a more perfect one
some time in the future, when the interest of the whole family
is more awakened on the subject. Biographical sketches have
been sought for, and as many as could be procured have been
inserted, that we might acquaint ourselves with the acquisi-
tions of our ancestors, for such knowledge generally establishes
a foundation upon which posterity builds, and improves if pos-
sible. Though the past generations have shown a record that
kindles pride in the hearts of their descendants, and we have
perfect faith in those yet to come, keeping in mind the facts
concerning the family that animate and merit pride will do no
harm, but rather tend to a still stronger growth, for man is
but man no matter whatever blood courses his veins. Gold-
smith says, " Man seems the only growth that dwindles here,"
and then reiterates the fact that there must be either advance-
ment or retrogression :

" For, as refinement stops from sire to son,
Unalter'd, unimprov'd the manners run."

The late Judge Loren P. Waldo, who, previous to the war,
had thought of publishing a work similar to this one, had col-
lected papers giving the descendants of Edward Waldo, Jr.,
for several generations, besides other information. Charles E.
Waldo gave the descendants of Jesse Waldo, and Mrs. S. G.
Waters the descendants of Abner Waldo.

PREFACE.

To prevent confusion, if the reader will note each chapter,
excepting the first, begins with one of the children of Corne-
lius Waldo, the first generation in America, and that the de-
scendants of each follow in a direct line, beginning with the
first born of each family and continuing to his or her last de-
scedant, then returning to the next younger and repeat the
same, there will be no misunderstanding. In the case where
several bear the same name, their wives maiden names will
help to distinguish them, outside of the generation, which will
generally be found sufficient.

CHAPTER 1.

The Waldo Family.

The name Waldo, which has figured in history for six hun-
dred years, originated with a family of France, one member of
which was the noted Pierre de Vaax, or Peter Waldo, of
Lyons. Hence the established belief that he was the first
recorded ancestor of this great family that has come down to
the present day, retaining many of the striking qualities that
characterized him and his people. He received his sur-name
from the place of his nativity, the town of Waldum or Vaux,
near the city of Lyons. He was the leader of the sect of Wal-
denses which had existed, for some time previous to his uniting
with them, in quiet opposition to the Roman church, but after
he joined them gained the reputation as the first founder of that
body, and it may be truly said that he spread new life among
them, for they came out openly and renounced papal power,
he being their strong advocate and protector. He lost no op-
portunity to oppose the pope openly, and though warned to
cease his preaching continued the same. In preaching he took
pains to prove his doctrines, always avoiding all unnatural
form, and asserted boldly that the i" church of Rome was in a
state of apostasy from the true faith of the gospel ; that she

was the harlot of Babylon, and the barren fig-tree which our
Lord cursed ; that we are not bound to obey the pope, who is
not the true head of the church ; that monasticism is like cor-
rupt carrion, and has the mark of the beast; and that masses
and purgatory, the dedication of temples, and the worship of
the saints are inventions of the devil." He was a rich mer-
chant, and distributed his goods freely to the poor. William
Hodgson's "History of Martys, etc.," contains an extended
account of the Waldenses and their leader.

The following is evidence that Thomas and not Peter, was
the first known ancestor of the Waldos. He was probably a
brother of Peter, and was also identified with the Waldenses :

According to Hasted, in his history of Kent, " this family
is said to be descended from Thomas Waldo, of Lyons, in
the Kingdom of France, one of the first who publicly renounced
the doctrines of the Court of Rome. One of his descendants,
in the reign of Queen Elizabeth, to escape the persecutions of
the Duke D'Alva, came over from the Netherlands to England,
where his descendants afterwards settled." In a house belong-
ing to one of the representatives of the Waldo family, situated
at Mitchans, in Surrey, England, there still exists a handsome
carved oak wainscotting, with a curious oak chimney-piece,
the cornice of the wainscot being a broad border of oak, richly
carved with acorns, oak leaves and grapes, with the name
"Peter Waldo" cut thereon, with the date 1575 or 1573, the
last figure being dim, making it uncertain. The mistake about
Peter Waldo being the first known ancestor may have originated
from this second Peter, who was evidently a descendant of
Thomas Waldo. It appears the celebrated Peter Waldo was
never married, but he left at least two brothers, one of whom
died a galley slave, and the other on his way to Bohemia,
where, also, Peter died in 1179. (Letter dated March 3, 1863^
from Rev. J. C. Goussier, British Chaplin at Lyons.) From
1575 to 1654 no records have been found relative to the family.

THE WALDO GENEALOGY.

DEA. CORNELIUS WALDO.

Cornelius Waldo, the first by that name permanently located
in this country, came from England and settled in Ipswich,
Mass., according to " Savage's Genealogy of Early Settlers",
in 1654. Married Hannah, daughter of John and Eliza Coggs-
well. Children : John, Cornelius, Daniel, Rebecca, Jona-
than.

Dea. Waldo removed, in 1655 or 1657, to Chelmsford,
Mass. The records refer to him constantly as deacon. He
was deacon of a church there during his life, of which Rev.
Mr. Fiske was pastor. He owned considerable real estate in
Chelmsford, and was at one time an inn-keeper there ; and
the spacious, comfortable old tavern, with its hospitable land-
lard, was a favorite among the traveling public of that remote
day, when, instead of the steam coach, the "four-in-hand"
came rolling up to the door at regular intervals, when the gen-
eral overturning of baggage and turning out of passengers
indicated a short respite and a few hours or night's rest for the
weary traveler. Many prominent personages stopped at the
inn. It is quite probable the Rev. Edward Bulkley died there.
He also owned a farm in North Chelmsford, Mass., where he
settled his son Daniel, who built a grist mill on it in 1695, at
the mouth of Stony Brook, below the way that leads to Dun-
stable, Mass. A grist mill and saw mill were standing upon
this spot as late as 1820. The deacon was a leading man in
Chelmsford. He died in 1701, June or Jan. 3. His property
was divided among his children.

CHAPTER 11.

JOHN WALDO

AND DESCENDANTS.

John Waldo, son of Dea. Cornelius, was born, probably,
in Chelmsford ; married Rebecca, the daughter of Samuel
Adams, about 1676, who was of the same line as that of John
Adams, the President of the United States. Mr. Adams was
a man of wealth, owning 600 acres of land in Chelmsford,
Mass. Children, 3rd generation: John, Edward, Rebecca,
Catherine, Ruth, Sarah, Abigail.

John was representative from Dunstable, Mass., in 1689 —
short session. He removed at the u time of the Indian war"
to Windham, Conn., and there died in 1700. His will of the
14th of April, 1700, names Rebecca, his wife, son John, and
refers to other children not named. His inventory was £290,
07s., besides the estate at Chelmsford. A deed, signed by one
Larabee, Jan. 2, 1699, to John Waldo, of Windham, is evidence
that he was living there at that time. Another deed to him
from Richard Edgarton, dated Jan. 4, 1698, gives his residence
as Boston. Probably settled in Windham during that year.
His residence in town of Windham was between Windham

village and Willimantic, on the east side of the river, on the
place afterwards owned by Roger Bingham and descendants.
Joh.ll Waldo, Jr., son of John Waldo and Rebecca
Adams, was born in Chelmsford, Mass., May 19, 1678. We
have been unable to secure anything of value concerning John,
Jr. Probably had no descendants. Removed to Boston after
the death of his father.

Dea. Edward ^Waldo? son of John Waldo and
Rebecca Adams, born 16S3, died 1767; married Thankful,
daughter of Shubael Dimock, of Mansfield, Conn., June 28.
1706. She was born 16S5, died 1 757- Children, 4th genera-
tion : Shubael, Edward, Jr., Cornelius, Ann, John, Bethuel,
Thankful, Joanna, Zacheus, John. Edward was deacon of
the Congregational church in Scotland. The towns of Wind-
ham and Scotland were one for many years. After the town
was divided the part containing Windham village and Willi-
mantic retained the original name of Windham.

There is a document in Hartford, Conn., the original appli-
cation of sundry citizens of the town of Windham, Conn., for
a new county, under date of May, 1 723, signed by the above-
named Edward Waldo. He was an extensive farmer of that
town. Edward and his wife, Thankful Dimock, wTere buried
in Scotland, Conn., in what is known as the "Pahnertown
Burying-ground." He built a house in the town of Scotland,
near the county line, about the year 1J14- The house is
still standing, and owned by a descendant.

Shubael Waldo* son of Edward Waldo and Thank-
ful Dimock, married Abigail Allen, of Mansfield, Conn., Oct.
14, 1730. Children, 5th generation : Samuel, Shubael, Abia-
thar, Jesse, Jonathan, Thankful, Edward, Daniel, Mary,
Abigail, Beulah, Ruth, Rebecca, Calvin.

Shubael removed, from Windham to Alstead, N. H., in
1768, where many of his descendants now live.

Prattsburg, in Pulteney township, Steuben county, N. Y.
His brothers, with the exception of Edmund, all lived on farms
in the immediate vicinity, and at one time there were nearly
seventy of their children all living at home, near Prattsburg.

Rev. Levi F- YV^aldo, son of Jesse Waldo and Mary
Fay, married Aug. 22, 1844, at Keene, N. H., to Lucy Eliza-
beth, daughter of Calvin and Sophia (Dickey) Fay, who was

born Nov. 17, 1816, at Prattsburg, N. Y., died March 3, 1877,
Frankfort, Mich. Children, 9th generation : Charles Edward,
born Feb. 28, 1846, at Ponghkeepsie, N. Y. ; William How-
ard, born same town, Sept. 17, 1849, died Aug. 7? l&55->
North Brookfield, Mass. ; Edmund Hovey, born Sept. 12,
1855, at North Brookfield, Mass.

Levi married for his second wife, July 23, 1878, Silence
Paddock (Hard) Cady, daughter of Rev. J. H. and Matilda
H. (Barker) Hard, widow of James F. Cady, who was born
Aug. 20, 1829, Sardinia, N. Y. She had ten children by her
first husband.

Levi is a graduate of Union College, N. Y., and went
through a course of study for the ministry in a theological sem-
inary in New York city. He was first settled over a Congre-
gational church in Poughkeepsie, N. Y. He is now preach-
ing for the Congregational church of Shelby, Mich.

Charles Edward, son of Levi, is a lawyer in Canon City,
Col., and County Judge of Fremont county. He is interested
in the genealogy of his people, and collected a good deal of
material for this part of the work, which was kindly furnished
us by his brother Edmund, who had the papers.

Edmund Hovey ^Waldo, son of Rev. Levi Wal-
do and Lucy Fay, telegraph operator, of Boston, married Nov.
17, 1880, at Keene, N. H., to Mary Ida, daughter of George
Howard and Mary Jane (Fay) Gilbert, who was born Dec. 5,
1859, Walpole, N. H. Children, 10th generation : Charles
Elmon, born Sept. 7, 1881, at Keene, N. H. ; George How-
ard, born May 6, '83, Charlestown, Mass., died June 22, same
year.

This branch of the family, the descendants of Jesse and
Mary, have lost one very distinguishing^ characteristic of the
Waldos — the dark features, hair and eyes. This is due to
the infusion of the Fay blood, the last three generations having
each married Fays, or descendants of them.

" Otis graduated at Union College, Schenectady, N. Y., in
1843. In 1844 took the stump for Henry Clay and whig party.
After election went South and studied law with Gen. John A.
Quitman of Natchez, Miss. In 1849 moved to Milwaukee,
Wis., and began to practice law. He was a candidate for
mayor later on, but was defeated as the city was of adverse
politics. Several years after he was a candidate for the U. S.
Senate, but was beaten by Matt Carpenter. He was for many
years President of the Wisconsin Central Railroad, and much
of its prosperity is due to his efforts. When he received the
news of his mother's death, the telegram announcing the sad
fact to him was placed in his hands as he was about to begin a
two hour's plea before a jury in Madison, Wis., Friday after-
noon. He finished his plea and took the first train east, reach-
ing Buffalo too late Saturday night to get a train for Corning, the
nearest railroad station. He jumped aboard a starting train on
the N. Y. Central, alighting at Palmyra, Wayne Co., about 35
miles from Prattsburg. A driving snow storm was raging but
he chartered a livery team and undertook to reach home in
time for the funeral. It was a terrible drive, and so formida-
ble were the obstacles, so frequent the capsizes that they only
reached the village as the people were returning from the cem-

" Abner Waldo at the age of fourteen years, as was cus-
tomary in those days, was bound out to a man in Walpole, N.
H., to learn the tailor's trade. He was to serve an apprentice-
ship of seven years, or until he should become twenty-one
years of age, but he bought one year of his time of his master,
(an appelation that was given the man of whom he learned his
trade). He then started on foot to seek his fortune in Ver-
mont, taking with him all the treasures that he possessed,
which consisted of a change of linen tied up in a pocket hand-

kerchief, and a pair of shears in his pocket. On his way to
Vermont he stopped at a farm house where he found an op-
portunity to make a suit of clothes, for which he received as a
compensation twenty shillings. To express it in his own
words, he said ' no nabob ever felt richer than he did at that
time with the first money he had ever earned for himself.'
Subsequently, he came to East Randolph, Vt., where he made
a permanent settlement. The town was then in its infancy,
and the state nearly a wilderness. Here he worked at his
trade a few years with success, and as the town grew, he grew
with it. He then relinquished his trade, bought him a farm
on which he lived until nearly the close of his earthly life. He
had many hardships to encounter and battle with in the new
country, but he conquered them all and worked his way up
step by step, until he rose to eminence, and was one of the
staunch and prominent men of the town. For nearly forty
years he held many public offices of trust in the town of Ran-
dolph. He owed his success to his own exertions, good judg-
ment and ability. At the age of twenty-one he married Sally
Goss, of East Randolph, and fifteen children were born to
them, all of whom lived to be men and women."

Daniel was a blacksmith and farmer. His grandson, Rev.
J. C. Waldo, states, " He was low in stature, thick-set, broad
in chest and shoulders, very muscular, quick in understanding,
scrupulously honest, and very orthodox. He would mount
his horse by the stirrup from the ground as nimbly as a boy a
month before his death, which was caused by an epidemic

THE WALDO GENEALOGY. 43

fever. His wife was unusually large, weighing 240 pounds,
and not over-burdened with flesh. I have seen her take a bar-
rel of cider from the rear of the cart and place it, quietly, upon
the ground. She had the advantage of her husband in height,
and had they ever come to blows (which I trust was never
true of them) my grandfather, though a giant in strength,
would certainly have had the worst of it. There is an anec-
dote about mv grandmother Hannah, which I recollect, when
a mere child, to have heard the old folks (Edward and his
wife, when on a visit to my grandparents) make themselves
merry over. There was an unlucky Wight living near to
grandfather, who occasionally indulged too freely with the
bottle. In a state of partial intoxication he called at the house.
Grandfather being away, he expressed himself in a rather rude
manner to my grandmother, whereupon she seized the offender
(a man of average size) by the back of his neck and panta-
loons, and extending him at arms length, ran with him over
the road and plunged him into a goose-pond." Daniel and
his wife both lived and died in Chesterfield, N. H.

'• He was a farmer of steady habits, strong common sense,
and naturally of a very cheerful and happy disposition. ' Un-
cle Snub.,' as he was familiarly called was a favorite with
young and old, for his humor and inexhaustable fund of stories
and anecdotes. His death was occasioned by being thrown
from his carriage, as was supposed. He never had a physi-
cian until that time."

u Daniel was a man of his own mind. In mere boyhood
he repudiated his family's politics and religion, and became a
warm Democrat and Universalist. He was appointed Post-
master by Jackson, and held the place until he removed to Illi-
nois. His ambition was to become the largest farmer in his
county. He owned 5,000 acres, chiefly of bottom land on the
Illinois river, and mostly improved. Rev. J. C. Waldo states
the year he visited his brother Daniel he had under his own
care 1000 acres of corn, 200 of wheat, and 75 of rye. The
year before he raised 45,000 bushels of corn."

cia, Oliver, George Curtis, C. Grace, Frances Rebecca, Matu-
rin Ballou.

Rev. J. C. Waldo, to whom we are indebted for nearly all
the quotations concerning Shubael Waldo's descendants, was
educated in the Presbyterian faith. He had been contemplat-
ing a change in religious matters for some time, but had not
quite decided everything in his own mind, when the sudden

THE WALDO GENEALOGY. 45

death of his mother ended the controversy. He says: " My
mother, though one of the best of that hallowed name, and
universally beloved, had never made a profession of religion,
and for that cause, the Presbyterian minister, Rev. John Wal-
ker, who attended her funeral, very charitably consigned her

to — ! This day's work settled the fate of orthodoxy for

me. It was standing by her grave that day, while the wound
the priest had inflicted was fresh and bleeding, that I made a
vow to be revenged by devoting my life to blowing the obnox-
ious creed sky-high. I have kept the vow to this hour." He
studied under Rev. Hosea Ballon. He preached in Boston
and vicinity for two years, then went to Cincinnati, O. He
found the leading men of that city ready to aid in establishing
a liberal church. A meeting-house was built for him the first
year. The same year he commenced the publication of a
weekly paper, " The Sentinel and Star in the West," which
is published to this day. His work was extensive there.
"During his five years' stay in Cincinnati, he preached in all
the large cities and principal towns in Ohio, Indiana, Ken-
tucky, and to some extent in Virginia and Tennessee. He
published over one hundred controversial sermons, held a
number of public debates, and planted the seeds of the new
faith, first, and generally in the West." It was not unusual
for him to preach four times in a day. While in Lynn, Mass.,
where he established two flourishing societies, he was attacked,
from excessive speaking, with a disease of the throat and
lungs, which threatened, for three years, as he says, " to end
my war of words at least against orthodoxy, and for Univer-
salism." He afterward recovered, and accepted a call for the
third society in Cambridge, Mass.,- where he remained eight
years. Then went to Troy, N. Y., and there remained and
labored six years. On account of his wife's health he then
removed to New London. His wife was accustomed to
write poetical articles for the periodicals of the day. The last

she ever attempted was a few weeks before her death, which
happened on the 29th of June, 1850. The following is her
last poem :

The Ideal of the Spiritual.

The lofty walls are tapestried superbly

With scenes of glory, changing evermore;
And light, not of the sun or moon, is streaming

O'er golden dome and tesselated floor.

Far-reaching aisles, with everlasting pillars,
And jewelled pavement mortal foot ne'er prest;

Such is the inner temple, at whose altar
My weary spirit folds her wings to rest.

It is a haunted spot — a spell is o'er it.

And all around, on terrace, lake and tree,
Enchanting bird-notes mingle with the perfume

Of flowers, that bloom to live eternally!

I said 'twas haunted — not in the old fashion,
By restless spirits, whose coming I shall fear —

But by angel forms of the true-hearted,
Who seek my earthly pilgrimage to cheer.

I see their radiant smiles, and hear their voices,

In dear familiar tones, repeat my name;
Fond arms encircle me, and joy ecstatic

Pervades my soul, and thrills my trembling frame!

Some smile, when I describe this habitation,

And say I am deceived — but well I know,
That He who gave me powers for such creation,

Would never mock my yearning spirit so!

Not half so real is my outward being,

Wearing itself away in earthly strife ;
While stronger, brighter, grows this blest ideal —

The sacred earnest of eternal life.

was well acquainted with. (Edward, Jr.) He was a man of
ardent piety. Toward the close of life his mind was clouded.
The Baptists assailed him, assuring him if he would go into
the water by the hand of their minister, the cloud would van-
ish, and he would see a great light. He was immersed ; but
he told me no more light shone on him. He took no father
step with them in the peculiarities."

Thou art withered in an hour;

Thou art lovely e'en in death.

Bore thee hence to realms of dav;
Where thy beauties may expand,
Nurtured by his tender hand.

In his glorious, happy home,
Evermore in freshness bloom ;
Bud of promise, precious gem,
Deck thy Saviour's diadem.

lives were lost. Edwin clung to a piece of the wreck, and

in onlv a few feet of it his strength was so far gone he could
hold out no longer and slipping from the broken timber met
his death. His brother, Simon Waldo, went on and found

vout man, loved and honored by all who knew him.

teachers as eclipsing anything of the kind known. He remov-
ed west when a young man, where he still resides, at Geneseo,
Illinois.

Doa. Enoch Wight A^aldo, son of John Elder-

Dea. Waldo followed farming the greater part of his life on
the old homestead farm in Waldo district, at the Waldo four-
corners in town of Canterbury, Conn. He taught school there
a number of years ; held many town offices, and was represen-
tative from Canterbury in 1856. He was deacon of the Con-
gregational church of Westminster, and was a leading man in
the town. While a member of the State militia, he nearly
lost his life at a general training by the premature discharge of
a field piece. He was a strong Republican, and a staunch
patriot. He delighted in Revolutionary history, which he read
with the deepest feeling. At the warmest period of the civil
war, when the subject was freely discussed by enthusiastic
Northerners in both town and country, its necessities, success,
prospects, etc., he by chance was forced into a conversation
with a neighbor who had been advancing rather unpatriotic
sentiments, and in course of the talk, declared the "Northern-
ers had no right to proceed South and destroy their neighbors
and brothers, but should allow them to do as they pleased, so
far as they had agreed by legislation, and their public senti-
ment," and in that strain he continued until the debate waxed
strong and warm, when the deacon, who seldom allowed his
temper to rise, could stand it no larger, declared " if he,
though a friend and neighbor, should take arms to destroy this
glorious union, bought by the sacred blood of the fathers, and
established in the name of Jehovah as a free and independent
country that their posterity might enjoy union and liberty

thenceforth, he would shoot him as he would a dog." Senti-
ments like this were only characteristic of his nature. He died
in Canterbury, March 2, 1877. Hewas a man of massive form
but of average height, of even temper, strong personal charac-
ter, and just in all his dealings. He had a wonderful retentive
memory, and could quote Scripture, in which he was well read,
to apply to most any subject to more successfully enforce a
point. Both young and old delighted in listening to his ever
ready anecdote or story. Frequently, in the absence of the
pastor at Westminster, he would take the lead of the service,
and preach a goodly sermon after his own sound ideas.

He plods along from house to barn.

He has crossed the highway that intervenes,
And passed the knoll with its dress of green;
Now the murmur of the stock we hear,
Expressing impatience as feast-time draws near.

As we watch him steadily on his return,
Laden with the product for the churn,
Is it a break in his walk that we discern?
Yes, but his step is strong and firm.

Later, we see him at the sacred board,
Asking a blessing on the bounties of God ;
Reading the Bible, offering prayer,
All in the circle receiving their share.

Again we behold him a man among men,
Ready always to rise but never descend —
Now, bidding farewell to this domain,
He leaves with us all a golden name.

68 THE WALDO GENEALOGY.

THE OLD HOUSE.

The Stearns house, now owned and occupied by Joseph
Hall, in which his children all lived during their young days,
was built during the early part of the u hundred years Indian
war," or about 1696, according to Isaac T. Hutch ins, an old
resident of Danielsonville, who claims to know its history.
It was built in that place by a Dea. Stearns, of Mansfield, Ct.
He sold it to Dr. Walton, a wealthy, hot-headed Tory, who
was obliged to abscond to Canada during the Revolutionary
war, to escape the wrath of the " sons of liberty." He sold
all his possessions, and the house then became the property of
Dr. Fuller, who became wealthy by being a surgeon on board
of a privateer during the war. He sold the house to Dr.
Penuel Hutchins, and finally died a pauper in Attleboro',
Mass., losing his property by extravagant living. After the
death of Dr. Hutchins, the house was owned by his son Isaac,
who sold it to Joseph Bates, he disposing of it to Dea. Leonard
Burgess, who moved it from the original site on Main street,
to its present location on Hutchins street, when Mr. Hall
bought it, and beautified it by enclosing it with trees. The
house is the same in shape as when first built, with the excep-
tion of an addition of a few feet on the west end, and jets
which were not built in those days. The frame is of enor-
mous oak timbers, seemingly as sound to-day as ever. A
view within shows its antiquity more than without, from the
beams projecting into the rooms.

of Canterbury, Conn., which adjoins Hampton, the place of
her .birth, her parents haying removed to that town when she
was but three years of age. She evinced a love for books very
early in life, and consequently became an efficient scholar.
After her public profession of religion in her nineteenth year,
when she united with the Congregational church, her earnest-
ness Tbecame more intense to obtain a higher education, in or-
der "that site might be able to be more useful to the world.
She 'left home and attended an academy in eastern New York,
then taught by Prof. Salem Town. After a few months in this
school she received, with two others, a certificate of extraor-
dinary merit in scholarship and proper demeanor. She then
went to Amherst, Mass., where she studied the classics under
her brother's instruction, he being a student in the college
there, and attended two courses of lectures delivered by Prof.
Hitchcock. From this time^ on for several years she taught
and studied. She was called to take charge of the ladies de-
partment in the Fort Coyington Academy, N. Y., Prof. Dan-:
iel Branch acting as principal. After two years she was mar-

raising, where they now reside. Mrs. Branch is noted .for
her piety and Christian example. 4i Rarely a term of school
passed when there were not more or less conversions among
her pupils. Often from ten to twenty in a term experienced a
change of heart, and that largely through" her influence/' She
has had several important positions offered her in the best col-
leges of the country, but circumstances seemed to; forbid her
acceptance.

Hon. Loren Waldo's life was an eventful one. k' His edu-
cation, so far as it was obtained from schools and instructors,
(except while studying law) was completed when he was
fourteen years of age. From that time until he was twenty-
one he taught school every winter, devoting the rest of the
time to labor on his father's farm. His zeal for knowledge
could not be quenched, and all this while he applied himself
in every leisure hour, to study, and in this way mastered the
higher branches of mathematics, and acquired a good knowl-
edge of Latin. He carried Hodge's Logic with him into the
fields, and in the brief intervals of labor mastered its contents.

earning his living. At the age of 23 he was admitted to the

stacles, and rose to fill places of trust and honor. He was
postmaster in Somers two years, and held town offices.
He was Representative from the town of Tolland for 6 years,
1832, '33, '34, 39, 47, 48. In 1 849 he was elected to represent

ing President Pierce's administration he was appointed Com-
missioner of Pensions at Washington, in which service he
continued until elected Judge of the Superior Court of Con-
necticut for a term of eight years. About the year 1863 Judge
Waldo removed from Tolland to Hartford, where he pursued
the practice of his profession, at first in partnership with his
son-in-law, A. P. Hyde, Esq., and more recently in the well-
known firm of Waldo, Hubbard & Hyde." In politics he
was a Democrat, and gave its candidates and measures his cor-
dial and generous support. He wrote, in 1861, a history of
Tolland. After his death the Hartford County Bar introduced
resolutions highly applauding his life-work and lamenting the
loss of so great a friend and public benefactor. He gathered a
great deal of material some time before his death for the gene-
alogy of this great family, and promised to prepare all he had
for the press, but soon after died. His daughter kindly fur-
nished all his papers for our perusal relative to this subject.

Gen. GofF has led an almost continuous public life. At the
time of the war he, with his whole family, took sides with the
Union, and in May, 1861, enlisted as a private in company G,
Third Virginia Union Infantry. His regiment participated in
many severe engagements. He soon became Second Lieuten-
ant, and in 1864 he was made Major of his regiment, having
been advanced through all the intermediate grades. In an en-
gagement at Moorefield, Goffs horse was shot from under him,
and he was taken prisoner and sent to Libby. While in prison
a confederate Major Armsey, who lived in the adjoining coun-
ty to GofF, was captured by the Federals and condemned to
death as a spy, with others. Then the Confederates choose
Goff as the person to put to death as an act of reprisal with
others, as soon as the spies were executed. In his letter to
President Lincoln in relation to his confinement he says: " If
Major Armsey is guilty he should be executed, regardless of
its consequences to me. The life of a single soldier, no matter
who he may be, should not stand in the way of adherence to a
great principle." Armsey was finally exchanged for Goff,

and he again returned to his regiment. He was the means
afterwards of saving Armsey's life ; he having been captured
and placed in the jail at Clarksburg, where the people threat-
ened his life, and but for GofFs interposition would probably
have carried their threats into execution. He left the army as
a Brevet Brigadier General of Volunteers. He was admitted
to the bar in 1 865 . He has been practicing law since that
time with good success. He represented his town in the Leg-
islature in 1S67. and '68, when he was appointed U. S. Dis-
trict Attorney. In 1 88 1 he was appointed Secretary of the
Navy by President Hayes. In 1882 he was elected to the

From whence he came to England.

After residing at Bristol a number of years, traveling
through various parts of the kingdom, he retired to
this town, where, after a patient endurance of the
infirmaties of old age, he departed this life

Like autumn fruit mellowed long,
Even wondered at that he fell not sooner;
Fate seemed to wind him up for fourscore
Years, yet freely ran he on ten winters more;
'Till, like a clock worn out with eating time,
The wearied wheels of life at last stood still.

Upon inquiry I found that he was alive in / lat town ; that
it was indited and erected under his inspectioy to be fitted up
with dates, after his decease, by his son, wLo was living in
Bristol. I visited him ; found him in a very inferior state of
health ; faculties impaired ; related to me his leaving America :
expressed great sorrow for having so done, mentioning his

tion : Elisha Hurlbut, Ralph, Harriet, Thos. Fanning, Nancy,
Albigence, Jr. ; by bis second wife Lucy Cargill, bad Lucy,
and Laura.

We are indebted to Mr. John M. Cargill, of Providence,
R. I., a nephew of Dr. Waldo's second wife, for papers fur-
nished from which we gathered the following, the papers
being found by him in an old house at the foot of Mount Tom,
near the Connecticut river, where they were placed by the
Doctor's wife, she having taken up her residence there soon
after his death : i; On the breaking out of the Revolution, Dr.
Waldo proceeded with the neighbors around about Pomfret,
to Boston, immediately after receiving news of the battle of
Lexington, their leader probably l}eing Gen. Putnam. He re-
mained at Cambridge and Roxbury until honorably discharged,
his health having failed him. On Dec. 14th, 1JJ6, he was ap-
pointed by Gov. Trumbull, surgeon of the ship Cromwell.
The ship not sailing, he, by the Governor's permission, attached
himself to Gol. Huntington's newly raised regiment as sur-
geon. This happened April 3d, 1777, in New Jersey, and
he continued to do his duty with fidelity, and to the satisfac-
tion of the officers and soldiers, and was discharged in Oct.,
1779. He was in the winter quarters at Valley Forge, and
the following spring was with the jubilant Yankees as they
gave chase to the Red Coats, then riving for safety over the
plains of Monmouth. The war made him a poor man. The
continental money amounting to but little for the support of
his family, and consequently, after the war petitioned the Con-
necticut Legislature to be ' exonorated from his past debts, have
an equal share in the bounty of his country for real losses and
services, and that he may have the privileges of a free citizen
during the little remainder of life,' etc. He was a great ad-
mirer of Washington, as is shown by the many letters he sent
home from the front containing glowing sentiments about him.

14

THE WALDO GENEALOGY. 113

That Washington respected him highly is shown by his hav-
ing employed him to copy many of his military orders, and
presented him with a sword, which is still in the possession of
Mr. Cargill, who also has the Doctor's iron-bound chest which
he carried with him through the war, which now only con-
tains the old sword, brass scales, by which he weighed his
medicines, old papers, books, records, etc., his surgical outfit
having been removed." Mr. Waldo received his early train-
ing in the schools of his native town. He acquired his great
skill and eminence as a physician and surgeon by study and
practice at home, by extensive observations in the army, and
by intercourse with the best of physicians. He had an extend-
ed practice, was well known in Rhode Island, Massachusetts,
and Connecticut. Three of his day-books, bound in hog-skin,
contain the names of some 6000 patients treated by him, cov-
ering a period of seventeen years, which included only those
who had their accounts charged. Gen. Putnam's name ap-
pears several times as one of his patients. He was a neighbor
and intimate friend of the General. His brother Samuel was
the General's son-in-law.

He gave the eulogium at Putnam's grave, also at the grave
of Capt. Asa Lyon, 1785. Being an able man he was often
called upon on such occasions, He was so highly esteemed in
Pomfret that many children were given his name. He died
in 1794- Gen. McClellan delivered the funeral address in be-
half of the Masonic fraternity. Moriah Lodge erected a mon-
ument to his memory in the principal cemetery of Pomfret.
The following is the inscription upon the monument : —

" The Master Wardens and Brethren

of Moriah Lodge

In testimony of their esteem and respect

For the virtues, talents and usefulness

Of their late worthy Brother,

Erect this Monument

114 THE WALDO GENEALOGY.

To the Memory

Of ALBIGENCE WALDO, Surgeon,

Who, attentively studying the works of God

In the admirable frame of man,

Rose to eminent distinction

In the noble art of healing.

His name is Charity ;

His actions, Humanity ;

His intercourse with men, benevolence and love.

Born in Pomfret, Feb. 27, 1750;

Died 29th Jan., 1794."

Dr. Waldo's book-mark, which he was accustomed to
place in books loaned, was

PROPERTY.
" The wicked borroweth and returneth not."

The righteous borrow, read with care, and speedily return
to the owner.

Dr. Waldo kept a diary while he was at Valley Forge,
which is full of interest from beginning to end. We give a
few extracts only. The contents of the diary was published in
the Historical Magazine in 1861, and in 1S63 it contained the
poem that the Doctor wrote while in camp, a part of which
will be found below, which was addressed to his wife, whom
he called Celia. He began his diary Dec. 10, 1777.

EXTRACTS FROM THE DIARY.

Dec. 28th.— Yesterday upwards of fifty Officers in Genl.
Green's Division resigned their commissions.— Six or seven of our
Regiment are doing the like to-day. All this is occation'd by
Officers' families being so much neglected at home on account of
Provisions

The present circumstances of the Soldier is better by far than
the Officer— for the families of the Soldier is provided for at public
expense if the Articles they want are above the common price —
but the Officers family are obliged not only to be™ in the most humble
manner for the necessities of Life,— but to pay Sta these. a,ftex wards
at the most exorbitant rates

MARTIAL GLORY.

The bint taken from the following line of Pope :

"Gun, Drum, Trumpet, Blunderbus & Thunder."

Soldiers! would you acquire a lasting fame;

Would you be pleased with a Hero's name,

Have you a wish to be a Martial Wonder ?

Rush furious on your foes— & fearless blunder,

Thro1 Gun, Drum, Trumpet, Blunderbuss and Thunder!

Fresh Beef and Flour ruak" me perfectly Sick— especially ai
we have no spirits to drink with it; but others stand it and so
must I

Sunday, Jan. 4th I was call'd to relieve a Soldier

tho't to be dying— he expired before I reach'd the Hutt. He wns
an Indian — an excellent Soldier — and an obedient good-natur'd
fellow, hie engaged for money doubtless as others do;— but he
has serv'd his country faithfully —he has fought for those very peo-
ple who disinherited his forefathers— having finished his pilgrim-
age, he was discharged from the War of Life & Death. . . .

What a frail-dying creature is Man. We are certainly not
made for this world — daily evidences demonstrate the contrary.

Ah! frail— vain man — ye jest of fortune Here.

Riches thy bane — and Poveity thy curse.

All pleasures glutt thee— pain afflicts thy heart,

Thy Body only food for death & Worms.

Look upward then— O Man — the God of Worlds

Has formed another World for the — by far

Superior to this Orb on which we d .veil.

The Marquis De la Fayette, a Volunteer in Our Array— & he
who gave three ships to Congress, is very agreeable in his person
and great in his character; being made a Major General— Briga-
dier Conway, an Irish Colonel from France, took umbrage thereat,
and resigned — but is now made Inspector General of the army — he
is a great character— he were a commission in the French Service
when he was but ten years old. Major General Lord Sterling, is
a man of a very noble presence. . . . . .

Count Polaski — General of the Horse is a Man of hardly mid-
dling Statue — sharp countenance— and lively air; He contended
a long time with his Uncle the present King of Poland for the
crown— but being overcome he tied to France — and has now
joined the American Army, where he is greatly respected & ad-
mired for his Martial Skill, Courage & Intrepidity. Genl. Green

General is another very remarkable character, and a Gentleman

SECOND LINE IN CAMP.

Valley Forge, Apiil 26, 1778.

INTRODUCTION.

1 sing in Hudebrastic strains,

Of huts, encampments, and campaigns.

O Celia! listen to my lays,
For my ambition is thy praise:
Inspired by Him who formed thee,
I catched friendship's first idea.
The happy knot, I fondly own,
Confirmed my love for you alone —
Be then my muse, and smooth along
This rugged medley of a song.

MY HUT AND THE PROSPECT FROM IT.

My humble hut demands a right

To have its matter, birth, and site

Described first! Of pond'rous logs

Whose bulk disdains the winds or fogs.

The sides and ends are fitly raised,

And by dove-tail each corner's brae'd;

Athwart the roof young saplings lie.

Which fire and smoke has now made dry —

Next, straw wraps o'er the tender pole.

Next earth, then splints o'erlay the whole;

Although it leaks when show'rs are o'er

It didn't leak two hours before.

Two chimneys plac'd at op'site angles

Keep smoke from causing oaths and wrangles,

(Which some philosophers have swore

Will turn us as quick out of th' door,

And is the second plague in life

To what is called the scolding wife;

1 8 THE WALDO GENEALOGY

But I know nothing of this matter,
Being never plagu'd with female clatter;
Peace to all such who know that, too.
While happy I am blessed with you :)
Our floors of sturdy timber made,
Cleav'd from the oak and level laid ;
Those cracks where zephyrs oft would play
Are tightly closed with plastic clay ;
Three windows, placed all in Right,
Through oiled paper give us light ;
One door, on wooden hinges hung,
Lets in the friend, or sickly throng ;
By wedge and beetle's splitting force
The oaken planks are made, though coarse,
By which is formed a strong partition
That keeps us in a snug condition ;
Divides the kitchen from the hall,
Though both are equal, and both email,
Yet there the cook prepares the board,
There serves it up as to a lord,
There knives and spoons and kettles rattle
While here we talk of war and battle ;
There is the chat and fun of boys
Here pensive thoughts or friendship's J03S,
Thore flights of fancy ycuth puisne
While here I set and think of you.

HRAISE OF THE CAMP AND ITS FOUNDER, WASHINGTON.

'Tis not each high aspiring dome
That graced the streets of ancient Rome, —
Not Troy's high walls, that rais'd the eyes
With tow'ring spires toward the skies, —
Not London's pride-that painted Doll,
Though once our happy Capitol-
Can equal, as the world must own,
This ppaeious Camp of Washington !

But here to sing the General's praise,
With Washington to grace my lays,
Would strain my muse beyond its pow'r
And ev'n true praise itself devour,
Yet still I must and will impart
A verse or two to show my heart.

Oh Washington ! what soul like thine,
If aught below can be divine, —
'Tis thou !— " in every instance try'd
Above all passsion, pain, or pride,
Or power or rage of public breath,
Vile Lucre," or the dread of Death,
Not one that knows thee but must love —
Those that but see thee will approve !
The World and Angels do command
The heav'n born Universal Friend.
Oh, could I reach the true sublime !
Transmit his worth to latest time !

THE WALDO GENEALOGY. I 19

In son'rous verse sublimely raise
His virtues and deserved praise,
Quartos and folios I'd write upon
And shew the world a Washington !

But let ine shrink into myself.

Least from Parnassus some vile Elf

From tall Pegassus tumble me

And make me but too plainly see

I ne'er was born nor made a Poet

Make all that know me, and Celia know it,

Therefore I'll softly walk along

And humbly sing my narrative song.

In 1794 David Ripley Waldo removed to Hudson, N. Y.,
and died there Oct. 16, 1815. David R. Waldo was hard-
working, conscientious and scrupulously honest ; and by these
means at the age of 37, when he died, he had succeeded in
amassing a large fortune. His business was that of general
merchandise and freighting.

George Clark Waldo, son of David Ripley Waldo and
Deborah Clark, was born in Hudson, N. Y., Sept. 1, 1798,
and died in Boston, Mass., April 20, 1826. We have been
unable to secure anything of value concerning George Clark
Waldo. It is known that he followed the sea.

Charles Waldo, son of David Ripley Waldo and Deborah
Clark, was born in Hudson, N. Y., Sept. 20, 1800, and died
at Hudson, N. Y., Oct. 17, 1838. He graduated at Union
College. He was by profession a lawyer of considerable prom-
inence ; held various positions of trust and responsibility ; a

THE WALDO GENEALOGY. 131

brilliant conversationalist and ready debater. Among his inti-
mate friends were numbered many of the learned and influen-
tial men of his time. His preferences were the society of re-
fined and literary gentlemen. He never married.

Henry Waldo was born in Hudson, N. Y., Feb. 18, 1805.
He was the son of David R. Waldo aid Deborah Clark. On
Feb. 10, 1845, he married Sarah Heath, of Hudson, a daugh-
ter of John Heath and Maria Webb. They had four children,
8th generation : Jane Eliza. George Clark, Deborah, Hattie.

Henry Waldo was of a roving disposition, fond of adventure,
brave and hearty, and at the age of fifteen he ran away from
his home and embarked on a sailing vessel as a sailor. His
elder brother Charles, not caring to have Henry follow the sea,
pursued him and endeavored to induce him to remain at home,
but he had his labor for his pains. Henry was determined to
see the world, and despite all the persuasions of his friends re-
mained a sailor. Among the many reminiscences of his rov-
ing life are the following :

One day during a fearful gale of wind an English brig was
sighted ; signals of distress were flying from her mast-head,
and to all appearances her situation was a desperate one. The
vessel upon which young Waldo was sailing ran down toward
the unfortunate vessel, only to find that she was water-logged
and sinking. The waves ran so high that to reach the sinking
ship seemed almost impossible. Young Waldo, who was then
mate of his vessel, was not daunted by the outlook ; he went
forward among his men and asked if any of them would go
with him to the wreck. Four volunteered to go at the risk of
their lives. After great difficulties they reached the brig, but
the wind was so high that they found it impossible to make fast
to her. Two or three times their light boat became near being
swamped. Taking advantage of moments when the boat would
approach the brig, a man and his wife and three children were

132 THE WALDO GENEALOGY.

rescued. Not satisfied with this, young Waldo made two more
trips to the sinking vessel and succeeded in saving the rest of
the crew. About four hours previous to the rescue an English
vessel had "spoken the brig," but instead of laying by had left
her to her fate. For this service the British Board of Admi-
ralty presented Henry Waldo and the crew of his vessel with
£100 sterling.

On another occasion Henry Waldo was wrecked in the At-
lantic ocean ; for two days and three nights he and seven com-
panions sat on the taffrail of his ship, with difficulty keeping
their heads out of water, the sea washing over them all the time.
On the third morning they were rescued from their perilous
position by a Charleston packet.

Henry Waldo followed the sea until he was forty years of
age. About this time he was made captain of the ship "Or-
bit." A short time afterwards he retired, married, and settled
down in Hudson, N. Y. He engaged in mercantile pursuits,
but the quiet life of Hudson did not agree with his roving tem-
perament. In 1 849, when the California gold fever was raging, a
company of volunteers was organized in Hudson for the purpose
of buying a vessel in which to sail to the coveted gold fields.
Fifty-four men composed the party, and $27,000 was invested
in the enterprise. The bark tk Mousam" was purchased, and
Henry Waldo was unanimously elected captain of the vessel
and treasurer of the company. After a successful voyage the
party reached San Francisco, where the vessel was sold and
the balance of cash and provisions distributed pro rata among
them. To enumerate the different pursuits of this gallant army
of explorers is not our purpose. Their lives are a part of the
history of California. Henry Waldo remained about eighteen
months ; during his short stay he was elected associate judge
of Eldorado county, and opened the first court there. He was
prominently connected and identified with this now thriving

THE WALDO GENEALOGY. 1 33

county. At this time his health not being good he determined
to return to the east. Every effort was made to persuade him
to remain, but to no purpose. On his way home on. board
•ship he was stricken with shagrus fever and came near dying.
His determination not to die then, to use his own words, saved
his life. He succeeded in reaching safely his old home in Hud-
son, N. Y., where, under careful nursing, he soon recovered his
health. About this time political party contests were running
high. Captain Waldo was offered and accepted the nomina-
tion for Sheriff of Columbia county, New York state, and he
was the only republican elected on the ticket, his majority being
eighty-three votes. The contest was the closest ever known in
Columbia county. In 1865 Captain Waldo was given an ap-
pointment in the customs service in New York City. He is
now in the eightieth year of his age, is well and hearty, and
able to attend to his business.

Jane Eliza (Waldo) Hudson, daughter of Henry Waldo
and Sarah Heath, born in Hudson, N. Y., March 17, 1846;
married William Henry Hudson, of Troy, N. Y., May 30,

March 1, 1849 ; never married. He was an accountant of de-
cided ability, correct and methodical in his habits, a firm friend,
strong in his likes and dislikes. A small portion of his life
was spent in New York City, where he was employed as an
accountant with a firm whose place of business adjoined that
of the old firm of Waldo, Barry & Co. He was also in New
Orleans for a short time. William Waldo was never satisfied
away from home ; he was devotedly attached to his mother,
and lived but one year after her death.
