PREFACE

The inscription on tlie page opposite must be accepted as the
apology, if any is needed, for this publication.

The compiler had his attention directed to the subject as set forth,
in the spring of the Centennial year of the Nation, and up to the year
1871, his knowledge of Benjamin and Rachel Cleveland and their
decendants, was confined to the posterity of their son Rufus Cleveland,
his paternal grandfather. Nor could he have accurately told, if his life
had depended upon the telling, who either the brother or the sisters of
his grandfather married.

The letter of " Benjamin and Rachel Cleveland," as given on page
10, containing certain references to " Zenas," and " Hovey," and "Ham-
blin," and " Ephraim Pearson," was all that he had as a foundation to
build upon, and the access, of course, to early township or other public
records in the New England States. The result of the researches made
in leisure hours, while engaged in exacting business pursuits, is n^nv
presented. That these records are free from errors it would be folly to
pretend, and it is earnestly desired that any found should be pointed
out, and made known, so that they may not appear in any future
edition. No merit as a literary performance is claimed or deserved, but
as evidence of earnest, persevering research, beset and opposed by
every discouraging obstacle imaginable, it bears its own testimony, and
will at least be appreciated by those who have had any experience in
sueh labor.

The abbreviations used are so few and so apparent in their meaning,
as to need no exjilanation.

The small figures attached to various names, and most likely to
puzzle the reader if unused to such publications, are employed to desig-

nate the different or successive generations. The starting point i. the
common ancestor, Moses Cleveland, of Woburn, and he is designated
as Moses Cleveland.' His children are the second generation, and
his grandchildren are of the third generation, and so on. The Index
is elaborate enough to enable the reader to find any particular family
readily, and will probably prove sufficient for all practical purposes.

The fact that comparatively few of the descendants of Benjamin
and Rachel Cleveland have either sought or acquired public distinction,
does not militate against the publication of these records. It will be
noted that generally their descendants were devoted to agricultural
pursuits, and belonged especially to the producing classes — the "bone
and sinew " of the country — the honest, frugal and industrious citizens
of the commonwealth. All honor to them, then, for such as these the
nation can not do without. And, in conckision, it may be appropriately
said of them, as a whole, in the language of the poet Gray —

" Fur from the madding crowd's ignoble strife,
Their sober wishes never learned to stray;
Along the cool, sequestered vale of life
They kept the noiseless tenor of their way."

ANCESTRY OF BENJAMIN CLEVELAND.

Moses Cleveland/ of Woburn, Mass., 1641, appears to
be the common ancestor of all the " Clevelands " of New Eng-
land. Family tradition says he emigrated to this country in
1635, from Ipswicli, Suffolk, Eng., an indentured apprentice
to a housewright or master builder. From the Woburn town
records it appears Moses Cleveland was made a freeman in
1643, no doubt upon attaining the age of 21. Sept. 26, 1648,
he married Miss Ann Winn, daughter of Edward and Joanna
Winn, of Woburn. She was also^a native of England. The
date and place of her birth not learned, nor does the date of
her death appear on the town records, but the death of Moses
Cleveland occurred on the 9th Jan. , 1 701-2. (See Appendix A. )

They had a family of eleven children — seven sons and
four daughters, (one child only, the first Joanna, dying in
childhood), as follows, all born in Woburn :

1. Moses,* b. Sept. 1, 1651; m. Ruth Norton.

2. Hannah,'^ b. Aug. 4, 1(553; m. Thomas Heushaw.

3. Aaron,'^ b. Jan. 10, 1655; m. Dorcas Wilson.

4. Samuel,'' b. June 9, 1657; m. Jane Keyes.

5. Miriam,'' b. July 10, 1659; m. Thos. Foskett.

6. Joanna,* b. Sept. 19, 1661; d. July 2, 1667.

7. Edward,* b. May 20, 1663; ni. Deliverance Pahner.

8. Josiah,* b, Feb.'^26, 1666-7; m. Mary Jk9^-*^

9. Isaac,* b. May 11, 1669; m. Elizabeth Curtice.

10. Joanna,* (again), b. April 5, 1670; m. Joseph Keyes.

11. Enoch,* b. Aug. 1, 1671; m. Elizabeth Counts, of Charles-

town, Mass.

Confining myself for the present to my direct line, I find
that —

Moses^ and Ann (Winn) Clevelnnd, b. in Woburn, June 9,

was b. in Newbury, Mass., Oct. 25, 1660, and d. without
issue in Chelmsford, Mass., Nov. 4, 1681. He m. second, in
Chelmsford, May 23, 1682, Persis Hildreth, dau. of Richard
and Elizabeth Hildreth. She was b. in Cambridge, Mass.,
Feb. 8, 1660 ; d. in Canterbury, Conn., Feb. 22, 1698. He m.
third, wid. Margaret Fish, in Canterbury, Conn., July 25,
1699. He d. in Canterbury, Conn., March 12, 1736. The
date and place of death of third wife not learned. (See Ap-
pendix B.)

Children, by wife Persis :

1. Persis,'* b. in Chehnsford, April 21, 1(383.

2. Samuel,' b. in Chelmsford, Jan. 12, 1685; m. Sarah Boswell.

0. Joseph,' b. in Chelmsford, July 18, 1689; m. Abigail Hyde.

1. Elizabeth,' b. in Woburn, June 26, 1603; m. John Ensworth.

5. Mary,^ b. in Canterbury, .June 14, 1696; m. Joseph Ensworth.

by wife Margaret :

6. Abigail,' b. in Canterbury, April 23, 1700; d. Feb. 23, 1718.

7. Timothy,' b. in Canterbury, Avig. 25, 1702; m. Dorothy .

And perhaps there were other children not recorded, as the
records were evidently very imperfectly kept during these
years.

Hinman, in his Catalogue of the Puritan Settlers of Con-
necticut, gives two more children, Ephraim,^ and Margaret,^
to wife Persis. So far as Ephraim'' is concerned, he may be
correct, as there was an Ephraim Cleveland who d. in Can-
terbury, March 13, 1711. Margaret,^ he says, m. Gideon Cable
in 1717.

Samuel Cleveland^ was one of the earliest settlers in Plain-
field, (or Canterbury), Conn., probably about 1694, and was
followed by his brother Josiih,'^ of Chelmsford, Mass., soon
after, and subsequently by his brothers Edward,^ of Kingston,
R. I., and Isaac,^ of Woburn. Canterbury was not incorpo-
rated as a town until 1703, and was previously a part of
Plainfield.

In regard to the marriage and settlement of some of the
children of Joseph Cleveland,^ the compiler of these records
has not been able to determine fully.

There was an Ephraim Cleveland who settled in Dedham,
Mass., and m. there, first, Jan. 14, 1734-5, Abigail Curtis, who
d. Aug. 30, 1738. He m. second, Nov. 21, 1738, Ruth Nichols,
who also d. in Dedham, Oct. 14, 1744. Children were : Eph-
raim, Jacoh^ Sarah, Rebekah and Abigail. There was also
an Ephraim Cleveland who m. Hannah Hayward as late as
1747, in Bridge water, Mass., and they gave their children
many of the family names, such as Joseph, Benjamin, Elijah
and Persis. Further investigation may show the identity of
one, or possibly both, of them with the Ephraim Cleveland,

of Canterbury, Conn. Concerning Dorothy* nothing has been
ascertained, and it is probable she lived and died a spinster.
Elijah* is known to have settled in Hillsdale, (formerly Noble-
town), Columbia county, N. Y., and is buried there with wife
Alice ; but Benjamin,* Ezra,* and Samuel,* remained in Can-
terbury, Conn., where names of children born to them respect-
ively are recorded. A deed of land by Joseph Cleveland,
to his "well beloved son, Benjamin Cleveland," bears date
"Canterbury, Decern"" y'' 23rd, A. D. 1735," with a reserva-
tion and proviso which reads as follows :

" Only reserving to my own use and y« use of my family, to get firewood and
Timber upon s'' Land during my natural life, & said Tjand l)eing in full of _y« por-
tion my said son sliall ever have of my Estate."

Later he seems to have divided his lands between his sons
Ezra and Samuel, under date of March 7, 1753, and probably
lived near them until his death.

DESCENDANTS OF BENJAMIN CLEVELAND.

Benjamin Cleveland,* a great-grandson of Moses^ and
Ann (Winn) Cleveland, of Woburn, Mass., was born in
Canterbury, Windham county. Conn., May 20, 1714. He
was the third son and child of Joseph^ and Abigail (Hyde)
Cleveland, and a grandson of SamueP and Persis (Hildreth)
Cleveland.

By wife Rachel ,* whom he married in 1736, he had

a family of ten children, as follows :

1. Joseph,' b. May 14, 1737; d. Nov. 17, 1749.

i- 2. Benjamin,* b. , ; d. Nov. 35, 1749.

3. Dorothy,' b. June 10, 1744; d. Nov. 12, 1749.

4. Abio-aii," b. Aug. 13, 1746; d. June 2, 1832.

5. Zenas,' b, Sept. 21, 1748; d. Aug. — , 1821.
('.. Rachel,' b. May 18, 1750; d. Sept. 27, 1837.

7. Persis,' b. Jan. 18, 1752; d. March 30, 1834.

8. Rufus,' b. June 14, 1754; d. Feb. 22, 1838.

9. Mary,' b. April 14, 1756; d. Jan. 27, 1763.
10. Phebe,' b. June 25, 1758; d. Aug. 6, 1838.

Sometime after the marriage of his eldest (surviving)
daughter, Abigail, to Samuel Hovey, who had settled in the
town of Lyme, Grafton county, N. H., Benjamin Cleveland

* The most earnest and persistent endeavors have been made to ascertain the
maiden name of tliis lady, the date and place of her birth, and the names of lier
parents. Of the six grandchildren living, not one is at all sure of any facts con-
cerning her, save that her given name was Rachel. She has been referred to by
different correspondents and descendants, as a Hall, a Pearson, a Stehbim and a
Hyde. Mrs. Lois H. Wood worth, of Concord, N. H., who manifested the liveliest
interest in the preparation of this work nntil her last sickness in 1877, stated that
she had always understood her father ( Abner Hovey® ) to say, one of his grand-
mothers was a Perkins, and the other a Hall. Certain it is that the mother of
Samuel Hovey was Elizabeth Perkins; but as yet nothing has been received
to determine as certainly the maiden name, etc., of Rachel, wife of Benjamin
Cleveland.* Tlie compiler will be glad to compensate any one who can furnish
the desired information concerning her pedigree.

and his wife also removed to the same town, (in N. H.,) wiiere
his wife died in 1792. About this date Samuel Hovey, who
became a Baptist preacher, removed from Lyme, N. H., to
East Brookfield, Orange county, Vt, and there, greatly en-
feebled by old age, Benj. Cleveland died, A. D. 1797.

The following letter, written by Benjamin Cleveland to his
son, Rufus Cleveland, (the original of which is in possession
of the compiler), is given here to show the unaffected piety
and simple-heartedness of the writer, as well as to preserve
the document itself from oblivion. It is written in a plain,
steady hand, and signed with the a in the first syllable of the
name, as customarily written by members of the Cleveland
family in those days.

" Lyme, October 19tli, 1786.
' ' Dear Children :

" Our love to you and yours induces us to let you know that
through the goodness of God we are in as comfortable states of health as can be
expected people of our age will be. But we are not insensible of the decays of
nature, for we daily experience those shocks which show that our dissolution
draws near. I have a bad cough, but am able to keep about. Your mother is
better upon the account of her lameness.

" We have to acquaint you of the sorrowful news of the death of Zenas's two
youngest children. Zenas and Rachel have both been sick, but have recovered.
Ephraim Pearson and his wife was here about the beginning of September, and
were well.

" Mr. Cook, the bearer, is going to Hjirtford, and he will bring my spectacles
when he returns, if they are left at Capt. Chamberlain's, and I hope you will
carry them there, and Avrite to us by Mr. Cook.

He was in .his seventy-third year when he penned the
foregoing, and it is to be hoped that the good old gentleman
got his spectacles, of which he doubtless stood in great need.

Hovey, son of Samuel and Elizabeth (Perkins) Hovey. He
was b. in Windham, Conn., March Y, 1743 ; d. in East Brook-
field, Vt., May 12, 1833. She d. in East Brookfield, Vt., June
2, 1832. She was a woman of a most amiable disposition, and
a thrifty housewife. Her love of music was intense, and
her voice remarkable for its sweetness, as well as for its
power and compass. She was very kind to her aged parents,
and watched over and nursed them most tenderly and un-
tiringly in their declining years. Her husband cultivated
successfully a farm, and nevec took anything for his ministerial
labors in the way of compensation. They had a family of
thirteen children, as follows :

1. Daniel,'' b. in Windhani, Conn., July 24, 1764.

consent of the Brethren was dismissed from this chh. to join any chh. of Christ
which she might choose for her better edification.

Attest: WM. CONANT, Pas."

" Lime, April 13, 1795, then Samuel Hovey, a member of this chh. was recom-
mended to the chh. of Christ in Brookfield."

From the same records it appears that "Samuel Hovey
and Abigail Hovey w^ere admitted to the chh. at Lime, June
2, 1782," and on "Nov. 11, 1784, six more ruling elders
chosen," among which number is " Samuel Hovey " ; showing
him to have been an active member in the ecclesiastical organ-
ization at "Lime." His connection with the Baptists was
after his removal to Brookfield, Vt.

In the burying-ground on "East Hill," Brookfield, Vt.,
may be found the stones which mark the graves of this worthy
pioneer and his wife, bearing the following inscriptions :

" Elder Samuel Hovey, Preacher of the Gospel, died May 13, 1833, aged 90
years and 2 mo."

" Mrs. Abigail Hovey, wife of Elder Samuel Hovey, died June 2, 1832, aged
85 years and 10 mo."

Around them are the graves of many of their kindred and
descendants, including children, grandchildren and great-
grandchildren, and the living may well learn a lesson from the
lives and characters of Samuel Hovey and Abigail Cleveland,
his wife.

Gen. Alvin P Hovey/ a Judge of the Supreme Court, in

haps the most distinouished of the descendants of Abigail
Cleveland.^ He served v^^itli efficiency in the war of the
Rebellion, and was esteemed a brave and skillful officer ; and
in May, 1864, was Brig. General in command of the 1st Div.
23rd Army Corps, in Tennessee. The following note, taken
from the "Centennial Historical Sketch of Posey County,
Indiana," is here inserted as a brief epitome of his life and
public services :

" Note. — General Alviu P. Hovey is a native of Posey county, and was a del-
egate in the convention that framed the new Constitution of the State of Indiana,

May, 1851, to May, 1854; and he was Judge of the Supreme Court of Indiana
from May, 1854, to 1855. He was United States District Attorney, for the
district of Indiana, from 1856 to 1858, when he was decapitated by President
Buchanan for supporting Stephen A. Douglas for President, and Daniel W. Voor-
hees was appointed to till the vacancy. He was Colonel of the 24th Indiana
Vohinteers in the late war for the suppression of the Southern rebellion. He was
promoted Brigadier General of Volunteers April 13th, 1862, and afterwards, July
0th, 1864, he was promoted Brevet Major General of U. S. Volunteers, " for dis-
tinguished and meritorious service during the present war." He commanded at
the celebrated battle of Champion Hill, whicli was the key battle of the Vicks-
burg campaign, opening tlie way to the capture of Vicksburg, and General U. S.
Grant gave him great credit for running that battle. He was appointed Envoy
Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of the United States to the Govern-
ment of Peru, South America, Aug. 12, 1865, and resigned in 1870."

(For additional genealogical information as to the Hovey
branch, see Appendix E.)

Zenas Cleveland,^ the fifth child of Benj. and Rachel
Cleveland, was b. in Canterbury, Conn., Sept. 21, 1748. The
date and place of his marriage to Eunice Ludington, the names
of her parents, or the date and place of her birth, not learned.
When he was a lad of perhaps eight or ten years of age,

■

m he came in from the hayfield, and while lying down to rest lie
I experienced a sharp pain in one of his legs, so acute as
to cause him to scream aloud. In a few days something like
a fever sore or ulcer broke out, and when healed he was left a
cripple for life. He appears to have learned the trade of a
shoemaker. In 1786 he resided in Brookfield, Yt., and buried
his two youngest children there in August of that year. All
traces of him and his family are lost from the time he left there
in 1791, until found in Sullivan county, N. Y., about the year
1811. He was then in poor circumstances, and worked at
shoemakino; at Bethel, in that county. Shortly after that
date he left that place and removed to Litchfield, Bradford
county, Pa., where his only son, Zenas Cleveland, Jr., had taken
up a wild piece of land. There his wife Eunice died, May 1,
1824, surviving her husband about three years. He d. Aug.
27, 1821, aged nearly 73. They were both buried on the place,
a few rods from the house, but no stone marks their resting
place now. The farm is now owned and cultivated by Joshua
Turk, Esq., who kindly pointed out to me the slight knoll
designating the two graves of Zenas Cleveland,^ and Eunice
Ludington, his wife. As nearly as can be ascertained they
had a family of six children :

1. Eunice,® b. (about) 1773; d.

2. Betsey,® b. (about) 177G; d.

3. Zenas,'^ b. Sept. — , 1778; d. Jan. 13, 1873.

4. Eleanor,® b. April 10, 1780; d. Aug. 27, 1869.

5. Anna,® b. , 1782; d. Aug. 5, 1786.

6. James,® b. Oct. 30, 1784; d. Aug. 10, 1786.

An extraordinary effort has been made by the writer to
trace this family and descendants, but with the exception of one
daughter, Eleanor,® with poor success. Either Eunice'* or Bet-
sey® is supposed to have married a man by the name of Wing,
who lived at one time near Albany, N. Y., and liad a son,
Freeman Wing. Every effort so far to trace them has been in
vain. (See Appendix F. )

Zenas Cleveland,® Jr., son of Zenas and Eunice (Lud-
ington) Cleveland, b, Sept. — , 1778, m. Deborah Kenned}^ (or

Canada), but the date and ^ace of his marriage, or the dat
and place of her birth, or n;rnes of her parents, not learned
They had no children. She died in Litchfield, Bradforc
county, Pa., March 22, 1849. Her husband was a burly,
thick set and fearless man, as fond of a rough-and-tumble
fight at militia musters, as the proverbial Irishman at Donny-
brookFair. He was a very successful farmer, and considered
even wealthy at one time, by his neighbors. He was quite
blind for nearly ten years before his death, and was kindly
cared for in the family of a Mr. Wolcott for many years
previous to that event, which occurred Jan. 13, 1873, in his
96th year.

Rufiis Cleveland,^ was a farmer. He was of medium
height, florid complexion, light curly hair, and blue eyes.
Was a fine singer, fond of a good story, and industrious and
temperate in his habits. He served as a soldier during the
Revolutionary war, and paid his marriage fee in one hundred
dollars of Continental currency. Being employed by Capt.
Chamberlain upon his farm, he conveniently courted and in
due time married his first wife. Miss Mollie, eldest daughter
of his employer ; and when his father-in-law removed from
Ellington, in Tolland county, to Warehouse Point, in East
Windsor, Hartford county, Conn., he, with his wife and family,
accompanied him. This was in the spring of 1782 or 1783.
He remained in East Windsor until the spring of 1787, when
he removed to Barkhamstead, Litchfield county, Conn., and
purchased a farm of his own on Wallen' s Hill. Here his wife

'S'Z Genealogy of Benjamin Cleveland.

died in tlie autumn of 1807, of a fever contracted from nursing
a neighbor s wife, and who also died of the same fever, which
at that time prevailed as an epidemic in the neighborhood.
Her kindness to the sick, and readiness to watch with and care
for them at all times, made her greatly beloved, and her depart-
ure from earth was mourned as if a ministering angel had been
taken away indeed. In the old burying- ground on the ' ' Hill ' '
may be seen the graves of this worthy couple, and the inscrip-
tions upon the headstones placed there are as follows :

" In memory of Rufus Cleveland, who died Feb. 22, 1838, aged 83 years."

" In memory of Mrs. Mary Cleveland, wife of Rufus Cleveland, and daughter
of Capt. .James Chamberlain, who died Novem. 13, 1807, in the 49th year ot
her age."

His second wife, who died of cancer after a distressing and
protracted illness, was buried in the village cemetery, in
Winsted. The inscription on her tombstone is simply —

"Alice, wife of Rufus Cleveland, died Oct. 14, 1833."

Rufus Cleveland^ was in his eighty -fourth year when he
died, and not in his eighty-third, as the inscription indicates.
As will be noted, four children are yet living — two by the
first and two by the second wife — but very soon the places
which know them now, will know them no more forever.

ants will be found in Appendix J.)

Genealogy of Benjamin Cleveland. 27

Persis Cleveland,^ was of small stature, fair complexion,
raven black hair and black eyes. She was verj^ ambitious,
with no dower except her beauty, and her marriage into one
of the aristocratic families of Connecticut was bitterly opposed
by some of her husband's relatives. She was a devoted wife
and mother, though somewhat fretful as she grew in years ;
aided her husband to acquire a handsome property, and
reared a large family to habits of energetic industry.

She and her husband were buried in the old cemetery
some distance from the village, in the eastern part of the
township. The inscriptions upon the marble are as follows :

" Edward Payne, died Jan. 19, 1845, aged 95 years. Erected by Oren Payne."

Rufus Cleveland,'' is a farmer by occupation, and resides
on " Wallen'sHill," Barkhamstead, (Winsted Society), Conn.
He has represented his town in the State Legislature several
terms, and filled various offices of trust conferred upon him
with strict fidelity. His devoted love and kindness to his
second wife, who became entirely blind for several years before
her death, only serves to show that under a somewhat rough
exterior, he possesses the tenderness of a woman combined
with the best characteristics of the true gentleman. Though
he has passed the allotted age of man, he is still vigorous and
hearty, and content to spend the evening of his days among
the hills of Litchfield county, and in sight of his birthplace.

Or named liim but to praise."

Oren Cleveland,* was brought up by his maternal grand-
parents at Warehouse Point, East Windsor, Conn. A good
student at the academy in the village, he graduated with
credit to his preceptors and himself. After his marriage and
removal to Litchfield county. Conn., he was much sought for
as a school teacher, and taught successfully in various places
two summers and fourteen winters. He entered the employ
of the firm of Belknap & Hammersly, Booksellers in Hart-
ford, as a canvasser, and traveled over a considerable portion
of the New England States. He also sold clocks for Riley
Whiting of Winsted, extensively in the New England States
and in Eastern New York and Pennsylvania. In 1839 he
came to Geauga county, Ohio, to be near his eldest daughter,
where he resided up to the death of his wife in 1869. In the
fall of that year he took up his residence with his youngest
son, a merchant in Cleveland, Ohio. In stature he is about five
feet eight inches, and in his prime of life of ruddy complexion,
with black hair and dark blue eyes. He was a superior
horseman, and was accounted the finest "trooper" in his
company^^ His kindness of heart, combined with a natural
politene^ of manners and rare conversational powers, not to

omit to mention a fund of anecdotes and incidents of travel,
made liim hosts of friends wherever he went.

Although nearly a century has passed since he first saw
the light of day, he still enjoys a fair degree of health, with
his mental faculties unimpaired. His memory of persons and
past events is certainly very remarkable, to say the least. He
has invariably acted with the Whig and Republican parties,
though never radical in partisanship. About the year 1 814 he
united with the Congregational Society in Winsted, Conn.,
and continued without other ecclesiastical connection until
1872, when, after much reading and reflection, he was con-
firmed by Rt. Rev. Gr. T. Bedell, in Grace (Episcopal) Church
in Cleveland, Ohio. Contented and happy, in peace and
charity with all men, he cheerfully awaits his Master's call
from the church militant on earth to the cliurch triumphant
in heaven.

His children who grew to adult age were nine in number,
and all living.

she was captured by a Spanish privateer, and he taken to
Algiers, and sold into slavery. Nine years elapsed before he
escaped and arrived in Savannah, Ga. His wife, after waiting
his return seven years, mourned him as dead, and married
again. Learning this fact from his brother, and exacting a
sacred pledge that his whereabouts should never be revealed
to her during his lifetime, he remained in Savannah, opened
a butcher' s shop, and prospered for several years, when he
died suddenly after a short illness. The pledge given was
faithfully observed, and she knew nothing of the matter
until after his decease. (For further genealogical informa-

Concerning Pliebe Cleveland,^ her granddaughter, Mrs.
Alfred Parsons, of Eaiiville, N. Y., writes me. May 16, 1878, as
follows: "My knowledge of my 'mother's' parents is very
limited. Have no recollection of grandfather, nor of any of
his peculiar traits of character. Can remember grandmother
only as an old lady, seated in her rocking chair, knitting or
reading. The last three years of her life her mental faculties
were much impaired by a shock of palsy, and I was only ten
years old when she was thus mentally benumbed. She was
not corpulent, and I remember she had a slim hand and long
fingers. The expression of her countenance was that of stern-
ness and sadness — never laughed much.' ' No stone with the
proper inscription marks her grave in Sherburne cemetery,
though there is said to be one to the memory of her last hus-

This concludes the records for theportion of this genealogy
other than the Appendix. In that, extensive additions have
been made to all that has preceded, and much more might
have been added without exhausting the material on hand
and constantly accumulating. Should the compiler ever
attempt another edition, many advantageous changes in the
general arrangement of the work could doubtless be made.
But he indulges the hope that what has been placed before
the reader will not appear ambiguous in any sense, or difficult
to be comprehended and understood.

It should be stated that a large and complete Genealogy
of the Clevelands in this country is in active preparation by
James Butler Cleveland,^ Esq., late of Washington, D. C,
but now residing in Oneonta, Otsego county, N. Y. So that
this work is in no sense a substitute for the one to be issued
at the earliest possible period by hitn. His assiduity and
skill in his researches, so far as the writer can judge, entitle
him to rank as one of the best genealogists in the country.
Every one who bears the honored name of Cleveland, or is a

descendant of any one by that name, near or remote, should
put themselves at once into communication with him, and
cheerfully, and withal proinj)tly^ contribute what they know
or can obtain about their pedigrees in the Cleveland line.
The years are passing rapidly by, and every day the task
becomes more difficult as, the elder members drop away, and
what they alone knew, and could have imparted when living,
is thus lost forever. No one can tell how valuable the records
of his pedigree may prove to him, or to his descendants.
Certain it is that very many will regret that they neglected to
perfect and preserve them.

Copy of a letter of inquiry — written by Rev. John Cleve-
land, of Ipswich, Essex county, Mass., in 1759, to another
John Cleveland, Maltster, etc., in England, and the state-
ments in which are, or should be, conclusive as to the pedi-
gree of all New England Clevelands — is here inserted. This
Rev. John Cleveland,^ a son of Josiah^ and Abigail (Paine)
Cleveland, was b. in Canterbury, Conn., April 12, 1722,
(0. S.), and could not have been mistaken in such a plain and
positive account of his father's grandfather. It is not known
that an answer was received from the opulent brewer or
maltster, and perhaps the letter of inquiry never reached
him. The copy, as originally made by the reverend gentle-
man himself, is in my possession, and is submitted herewith

" Being informed (by tlie Bearer, one Samuel Bates) of your Name and
the Place of your abode, I supposed it liiglily probable that you are of the same
Family that I sprang from. My Great Grandfather's Name was Moses Cleave-
land, and came from Ipswich, in Sufiblk. He was young when he came to New-
England, and was an apprentice to a joyner, and came with His Master. He
settled in Woburu, near Boston, married, and had seven Sons, besides Daughters,
and his sons all left Children, and all in New-England, of the Name, are his
Posterity, and all spell the Name as I do, tho' we are not certain that we spell it
exactly as the same Family does in England. Because, as the said Moses was
young when he left England, and could not read and write, if I am not mism-
formed. I have seen the Name spelt as I spell it in Books Printed in England,
but most commonly I find it spelt thus, Cle\eland, or Clevland, but as you are
undouljtcdly of y"= same Family, if These Unes should come to your Hands I
should esteem it a Favour that you would write me, and give me some account

" Excuse the Boldness and Freedom of your Humble servant and Unknown
Friend,

JOHN CLEAVELAND.
" Ipswich, New-England, Dec. 35, 1759."

The superscripMon, copy of whicli was also retained, is as

follows :

"To Me. John Cleaveland,

Malster in Ipswich, in

County of Sufiolk,

Living in Silent St.,

Near St. Clemence Church,

England."

The compiler so far has made no serious attempt to trace
the pedigree of Moses Cleveland/ in England. To those who
have a taste for "the boast of heraldry," the following is
given, concerning the family :

" Cleveland — (Durham, Eng.)

" Coat of Arms. — Per chevron, sable and ermine, a chevron engrailed, coun-
ter changed.

" Cres^.— A demi-old man habited, azure, having on his head a cap, gules,
turned up with fur, holding in his dexter hand a spear, proper, having from the
blade a golden cord passing behind and coiled in the left hand.

" Motto.— ^vo Deo, et Patria."

Mr. Hinman, in his "Puritan Settlers," gives the follow-
ing account of the name: "Cleveland, Cleaveland. — This
family probably derived the name from the town of Cleve-
land, in the county of Durham, England. The principal
branch was seated in the county of York. Early in the 13th
century. Sir Guy de Cleveland was present at the siege of
Boulogne in France, afterwards at the battle of Poictiers,
when he commanded the spearmen. And a branch of this
family went into Devonshire, and continued until the male
line of the family became extinct." The woiJ itself is a cor-
ruption of " Clilf-land," thus certifying beyond question its
English origin.

In reference to the children of Moses' and Ann (Winn) Cleveland,
the space assigned to this work allows but brief mention. Each will be
taken up in the order of birth.

Moses Cleveland,^ eldest son and child of Moses' and Ann (Winn)
Cleveland, was b. in Woburn, Mass., Sept. 1, 1051, nearly three years
after recorded date of marriage. The compiler is inclined to believe
that he was a sea-faring man. He m. Oct. 4, 1676, (according to the Wo-
burn records), Ruth Norton, perhaps a dau. of Francis and ^Mary Norton,
of Charlestown, or, more probably, a dau. of Nicholas and Elizabeth
Norton, of Weymouth, Mass. In support of the latter opinion is the
fact that Nicholas Norton, Jr., was of Edgartown, (Martha's Vineyard),
Mass., in 1669, and that the numerous families of Clevelands on the
Island are descendants of Moses* and Ruth (Norton) Cleveland. Hence
it is reasonable to suppose that near relationship to the Nortons of
Martha's Vineyard, brought the descendants of Moses Cleveland" to
settle there. Mr. Richard J. Pease, of Edgartown, the historian of the
Island, confirms this in a letter to Nehemiah Cleveland, Esq., of Brook-
lyn, N. Y., dated Feb. 19, 1855, in which he says: "You are right in
the conjecture formed that our Clevelands come from Moses and Ruth.
Ruth Norton was the daughter of Nicholas Norton, the ancestor of all
our Nortons. Before his removal to this town he was of ' Weymouth,'
where some of his children were born. Nicholas died here in 1690,
aged 80 years; his wife Elizabeth soon after him, in the same year."

According to the Woburn records, Moses" and Ruth (Norton) Cleve-
land had but two children in ten years, namely: -'jj

1. Anna,3 b. Nov. 7, 1677 ; m. Bell.

3. Joseph,^ b. March 31, 1686; probably settlecj in Nantucket or Mar.
tba's Vineyard.

Moses C. Cleveland,^ eldest son of Moses' and Parnel (Conklin)
Cleveland, was born in Southold, L. I., July 4, 1795. He attended the
school of Master Wines Osborn, an instructor of local fame, who taught
during many years in " the Brick School House," a building owned by
twenty-seven proprietors, of whom Moses Cleveland' was one. They
sold it, Dec. 30, 1816, to the Trustees of School Dist. No. 5, of the
Town of Southold. It stood upon the site now occupied by the -Chapel
of the Presbyterian Church. The building was taken down in 1844.

In December, 1812, he went to live as an apprenticed cordwainer for
three years with Deacon Nathaniel Hubbard, who was doing a large
business in tanning and currying, and in the manufacture of boots and
shoes, at Mattituck, L. I. He faithfully fulfilled his obligations, won the
confidence and esteem of the family in which he lived, and became a
skillful workman. Afterwards, in August, 181''', he went to Catskill,
N. Y., where he wrought in fine work for a year in the employ of Mr.
Gideon Reynolds. He subseqviently enlarged his field of observation,
and his practice as a skillful workman, in Madison, Hudson City,
Goshen, and Newburgh, N. Y.

On the 2nd of June, 1819, he was married by the Rev. Lathrop
Thompson, to Sarah, the eldest daughter of Deacon Nathaniel and
Sarah (Reeve) Hubbard, in whose family he had lived during his
apprenticeship.

About the year 1823 a village began to spring up around the Suffolk
County Covirt House. This village has more recently become known as
Riverhead. Mr. Cleveland made this the place of his residence in Sep-
tember, 1824. Judge Miller, in his Centennial History of the Town of
Riverhead, speaks of Mr. Cleveland as being, in 1825, one of the active
business men of the village. Mrs. Cleveland, after a few days' illness,
died there. May 3, 1832, aged 35 years. On the 11th of May, 1833, he
was married by the Rev. Abraham Luce to Miss Ency Hubbard, sister of
his first wife, who was born at Mattituck, Dec. 16, 1802,

From his earliest years his Christian principles were sound, his moral
character was high, and his integrity in business and other relations strict
and trustworthy; but it was not until July, 1838, that he made a public

Appendix. SI

confession of his Christian faith and became a full member of the First
Church of Southold. Five years later, he was elected to the office of
Deacon, and he has fulfilled the duties of the office for thirty-six years.
Soon after he became a Deacon, he was chosen to be one of the Trustees
of the Church. For a long course of years he has been a Director of
the Suffolk County Mutual Insurance Company; and from the origin of
Southold Savings Bank, in 1858, his name has been prominent on its
Board of Trustees. He has repeatedly filled various offices of public
trust to which he has been called by the votes of his fellow townsmen ;
and his character and usefulness have often been manifest as the guar-
dian of children whose orphanage has caused them to need some wise and
faithful man to fill the father's place. He has been especially active in
the promotion of temperance throughout the county, and of religion on a
far wider field. Perhaps there is no other man living who has attended
so many of the meetings of the Suffolk County Temperance Association
throughout its whole existence for the last twenty -nine years.
He had but one child,

Who has given much attention to the genealogy and history of his
branch of the Clevelands. Res. Southold, L. I.

William Henry Cleveland,^ second son of Moses^ and Parnel
(Conklin) Cleveland, was born at Southold, L. I., Jan. 9, 1797, where
he attended the school of Master Wines Osborn, with his elder brother
Moses. In December, 1816, he was examined by the Commissioners of
Schools and duly licensed by their certificate as a teacher in the public
schools of Southold. He first taught in the village of Oyster Ponds,
now known as Orient, L. I. The following spring he entered " Clinton
Academy," at East Hampton, L. I., boarding with Rev. Ebenezer
Phillips, the princi]ial, who was also pastor of the Presbyterian Church
in that place. This academy has the honor of having been one of the
first two chartered by the Regents of the University of New York State
in 1784. It was named in honor of Gov. George Clinton, by whom it
was presented with a bell. During the years 1818 and 1819 Mr. Cleve-
land was the Preceptor in School Dist. No. 9 of the town of Smithtown,
L. I., where, according to the custom of the day, he "boarded around."
There he decided to be a physician, and during the time he taught there,
was also a student with the resident physician, Dr. C. H. Havens. He
m. Feb. 8, 1820, Mary Ann, daughter of Capt. Jonathan and Rebecca
(King) Terry, of Oyster Ponds, where she was born June 2, 1798, and
where she died precisely ten months after her marriage, Dec. 8, 1820.
He then entered Yale College, graduating in 1823. On the twenty-
second day of August, 1824, he married Zilpha Thayer, first born of
thirteen children of Ebenezer and Phebe (Crowell) Thayer, who was
born at Greenfield, Mass., Jan. 22, 1804. He first settled in Enfield,
Mass., where he was a successful practitioner for ten years, and then
located himself at Shelburne Falls, Mass. After several years, he re-
moved to Springfield, Mass., where he resided until his death, which

Joseph Cleveland,* youngest son of Moses^ and Parnel (Conklin)
Cleveland, was born in Southold, March 2, 1803. He early chose to
learn the trade at which his father worked, and was apprenticed to a
house carpenter at Patchogue, L. I. He became a skillful workman,
and afterwards went to Brooklyn, L. I., where, Aug. 5, 1824, he married

Having graduated at Harvard, 1735, he entered the Congregational min-
istry, and was settled over the Haddam (Conn.) people in 1739. Was
dismissed in 1746, and in 1747 was installed over the South Church in
Maiden, Mass., but dismissed in 1750. He is next heard of at Halifax,
Nova Scotia, whence he sailed for England; received holy orders in the
Church of England, at London, 1755, and was commissioned, July 1,
1 757, by the Society for Propagating the Gos])el in Foreign Parts, to take
charge of the Episcopal Church in New Castle, Pa., in com))liance with
the request of that parish. The following is an exact copy of the letter of
the Society under whose auspices he was to settle at New Castle. It
may be found in the church records at New Castle:

"Charter House, July ], 1757.
" Good Gentlemen :

"The Society for the propagation of the Gospel in foreign
parts, have granted your request, & appointed M'- Cleveland their Missionary
in your Church ; but it is on this express condition, which is now a standing rule
in all their missions, that you provide him with a good House and Glebe, & not
less than twenty pounds sterling per annum towards his more comfortable sup-
port.

" Heartily recommending you & M""- Cleveland to God's Blessing,

I am. Sirs,
your very faithful
humble Servant,
"To the Church Wardens J'lilLIP BEARCROFT.

& Vestry of the Episcopal
Church of New Castle,

in Pennsylvania."

On his way to Boston to arrange for the conveyance of his family to
New Castle, he sto]iped at the house of his old friend. Dr. Benjamin
Franklin, in Philadelphia, was there taken sick and died, Aug. 11, 1757.
His remains were buried in Christ Church, Philadelphia. A warm eulo-
gium, written by Dr. Franklin, the editor, appeared in the obituary no-

tice in the Pennsylvanin Gazette^ of Aug. 18, 1757. His widow d. in
Salem, Mass., in 1788. His son, Rev. Aaron Cleveland,' was the mater-
nal grandfather of Rt. Rev. A. Cleveland Coxe,' Bishop of the Diocese of
Western New York, and of Hon. Wm. E. Dodge,' of New York City.
Why it is that none of the numerous and intelligent descendants of this
branch of the Clevelands (called the Aaroti branch) have ever attempted
to compile a genealogical record, is unaccountable to the writer. Capt.
Stephen Cleveland,' an experienced seaman, who received his commis-
sion from the first President of the Continental Congress, also Richard
Jeifrey Cleveland,^ author of " Cleveland's Voyages " — a very popular
book in its day — were of this branch.

and Appendix B.]

Miriam Cleveland,* the second daughter and fifth child of Moses'
and Ann (Winn) Cleveland, b. in Woburn, Mass., July 10, 1659, m. in
Charlestown, Mass., Dec. 13, 1683, Thotuas Foskett, son of John and
Elizabeth Foskett. All that is learned of this family would show that
John Foskett, of Charleston, 1658, was a householder, 1678. Elizabeth,
his wife, was admitted to the Church, April 6, 1673, and two weeks
thereafter, April 20th, their children, six in number — John, Thomas,
Joshua, Robert, Elizabeth, and Mary — were all baptized; son Jonathan,
bap. Nov. 1, 1674, and dau. Abigail, June 6, 1680. The children of
Thomas and Miriam^ (Cleveland) Foskett, as appearing on the V/^oburn
records, are three, namely :

and Ann (Winn) Cleveland, b. in Woburn, Mass., May 20, 1663, m. for
first wife, as the compiler thinks, (though unable to give place and date,
or parentage with certainty). Deliverance Palmer, and at one time lived
in Kingston, R. I., though about 1716 he purchased land in Canterbury,
Conn. The deed states him to be " late of Kingstown, Rhode Island."
While residing in Canterbury his wife died, as the records there show,
June 7, 1717, and he m. second, in Canterbury, Jan. 1, 1722, Zeruiah
Church, who, so far as appears, bore him no children. It is concluded
he returned to Rhode Island and died there, but date not learned.

Children, as far as found, were —

1. Edward,^' b. (probably) ia 1689 ; m. Rebecca Paine.

2. Isaac,'' b. (probably) in 1691 ; m. Susannah Johnson.

5. Mary ,3 b. (probably) in 1697.

doubt be able in his large work to make it more perfect and intelligible.

JosiAH Clevelakd,^ fifth SOU and eighth child of Moses' and Ann
(Winn) Cleveland, b. in Woburn, Mass., Feb. 26, 1667, m. (probably)
in 1689, or early in 1690, Mary , and settled in the town of Chelms-
ford, with his brother, Samuel Cleveland." From this fact, and that he
followed this brother to Canterbury, Conn., the compiler is disposed to
the opinion that he may have married a daughter of Richard and
Elizabeth Hildreth, if they had a daughter Mary. There may be no
significance in the names given by Samuel':^ and Josiah" to the first three
children born to each, but it is worth noticing that the second son is
Joseph^ in each case, and possibly named for his uncle Joseph Hildreth,
of Chelmsford. Be this as it may, the numerous and intelligent descend-
ants, now living, of Josiah Cleveland,- should no longer delay every
effort possible to ascertain the maiden name of Mary^ his wife.

The children, whose names are found on the Chelmsford and Canter-
bury records, are nine in number, besides a daughter Rachel, who,
according to Hinman, m. Jonas Spaulding in 1722:

Concerning Elijah Cleveland,* the sixth child of Joseph^ and Abi-
gail (Hyde) Cleveland, the compiler gives the following brief account,
having recently found and traced his descendants. His wife was Alice
Lawrence, but of her birth and parentage there is nothing yet ascertained,
except that she was born about the year 1 730. They were married about
the year 1748, and settled in Columbia county, N. Y. A correspondent

The compiler regrets his inahility to present further information of
interest concerning Bexja:xiin Clicvelaxd,'* and Rachel his wife, but
certainly there has been no lack "f zeal in his endeavors to obtain it.
He has examined carefully the Piobate records in the hope that some-
thing might be found to determine the maiden name of the said Rachel.
As no will of Joseph Cleveland^ (son of SamueP) appears on those
records, the conclusion is that he died intestate. No grandchild or
great-grandchild of Rachel is foimd beai-ing her full maiden name, as in
the case of Elizahatli Perkins llibbard,'' youngest child of Elizabeth
Hovey,* (see page 16), who AA'as named for the mother of Rev. Samuel
Hovey. Such partiality in selection of names among the Hoveys may
perhaps be excused, biit among the Clevelands in the direct line of
de?cent from Benjamin,'* such neglect to perpetuate an honorable name
in our ancestry is utterly indefensible — from a genealogical standpoint
at least.

It has been intimated to the writer that she was of Welsh extraction,
but this seems only a traditionary- conjecture. Two excellent though cred-
ulous persons, among the multitude of her great-grandchildren, one in New
York State and the other in Ohio, and who are wont to consult spiritual
mediums for answers to vexed questions, confidently advised him, over a
year ago, that the mystery concerning her was solved; and, better than
all, " the source of the information was unquestionably reliable." But
the truth must be told, notwithstandlno- it mav show that the most reliable
mediums are liable, like doctors, to disagree. Through one she declared
most positively that her name was " Rachel iVcrto??," a native of Glasgow,
Scotland; and through the other, with equal certainty, that it was
" Rachel Craig^'' nativity not given. So the mystery became more
mysterious if possible than ever, and " clouds aiul darkness rest upon it."

On page 60, Vol. VII, of the Canterbury (Conn.) Land Records,
mav 1)0 found the following Deed:

" To (ill GhriHtidn j)e.ople to whom these presents shall come —

"Received this January the Stli Daj% 1751, [1753V], and the same truly

Whether the wife of Benjamin Cleveland was incapable of writing
her signature at all, or whether her ag-itation in relinquishing her joint
right, "in or to a sartain Brook which runs through the west end of
the s"* Cleaveland's Land," rendered her unable to do so, is not manifest.
Indeed it now matters not. Over a century and a quarter has passed
since that Deed was delivered to Jonathan Downing, Sen., and centuries
may come and go, till that " whole term of nine hundred and ninety
years " expires. What then ? " The Brook " will still run its course

" to SAvell the brimming river,"

supplied by the never failing springs of the hills of Windham county —
white-clad with the glistening snows of winter, or green-robed with tlie
glorious verdure of each returning summer. Children will j^lay upon its
banks and bathe their bare feet in its limpid, sparkling waters, as did of
yore the Httle ones of Benjamin and Rachel Cleveland. Will there be
sorrow again like that which filled the hearts and darkened the home
of this young couple, when, within a fortnight during that dreary month
of November, in the year of grace 1V49, three of their five children
sickened and died, andVere buried side by side in three little graves for
violets to grow upon when the spring-tide came — " Joe " and " Bennip "
and " Dollie " — leaving only little " Nabby " and baby Zenas— he whose
cripi)led manhood in after years was evidently one continued and heroic
strugo-le with adversit^'V The father may be pictured to us sad and
sedjite, with his eyes fixedly gazing out of the window, while the sweep-
in cr gusts of early wnnter rattle the casements, and break and scatter
the ice-mailed branches of the trees around the little yard of his
" broken home." With Puritan fortitude he endeavors, though vainly,
to keep back the tears that silently steal down his cheeks, while he speaks
to the sobbing wife and mother, — crushed with their great grief, and worn
and weary with watching and vigils by the bedsides of her darlings, —
the well remembered words of Holy Writ, " The Lord gave and the Lord
hath taken away — blessed be the" name of the Lord." There is no
answer save a low moan and a fresh outburst of tears. Another Rachel
indeed, mourning her first born children and refusing to be comforted.
Will this all happen there again? God knows. And, reader, if it so
hapiien, will consolation to the bereaved and sorrowing ones come to
their bleeding heai-ts from words preserved from the flippant utterances
of an Ingersoll, or rather from the precious promises to those that mourn,
recorded in that Book he now scofts at and derides?

But the spring time followed, and while the birds were carroling- its
return, another daughter was born and christened for her mother,
Rachel. Within two years more, still another daughter gladdened the
household, with the name of her great-grandmother, Persis. Two and a
half years later, another son was born, and called Rufus. Was he, or his
elder brother Zenas, named for the/ather or grandfather of the mother
that bore them? Next a daughter Mary, who died in mid- winter, and
was laid by the side of her little brothers and sister before attaining
her seventh 3^ear; and lastly, Phebe, who grew to womanhood, married
Ephraim Pearson, and waited and watched in vain for his return from sea,
seven long years, with her family of four little ones, in their home in
Manchester, Vermont. Was the name of the mother of Rachel, wife
of Benj. Cleveland, 7ll/«r?/, and grandmother Phehe?

Abigail, or " Nabby " Cleveland, was in her sixteenth year when little
Mary, her sister, died, and was already engaged to young "Sam" Hovey,
the son of a farmer living hard by in the adjoining town of Windham.
Her musical talent was the wonder and delia^ht of the neio-hborhood, and
her husband in after years used to say he had often heard her voice,
while singing of a clear evening out of doors, a mile and a half away.
Perhaps the hearing of the young lover was vecy acute at that particular
period of his life. They were married in the autumn following the death
of little Mary, and began the stormy voyage of life together in Wind-
ham, Conn., to peacefully close it among the green hills of Orange
county, Vermont.

Elforts to obtain the exact date of the death of Benjamin Cleveland
and his wife have jiroved futile. It is stated, however, that " grandma
Cleveland " died when Rebecca Hovey^ was twenty years old, and
" grandpa Cleveland " lived five years after her death. So it may
be seen, according to this statement, that Rachel, wife of Benj. Cleve-
land, d. in Lyme, N. H., in 1792, and he d. in East Brookfield, Vt., in
1797. The compiler is sorry to state he can find no stone in the old
burying grounds of either town to mark the respective places of buriah
Perhaps I ought to say in this connection, that the old burial place, where
the dust of the first settlers of Lyme, N. H., reposes, thickly covered
(as it was when the writer visited the spot in 1876,) with underbrush and
half-grown trees, with here and there a broken headstone, is simply a
diso-race to the authorities of the town. Even the Aborio-lnes exhibited
more care and respect for the burial place of their dead, than the Anglo-
Saxons who are now in possession of the soil.

10. George Lewis, born Aug. 20, 1810 (not 1809).

" It seemed foreordained that I should stay at home and take care of my
parents, my only surviving brother having commenced the study of medicine the
year that I was born. In 1831, 1 joined the Congregational Church in Lyme, N.H.,
and in 1883 the claims of the West began to press upon the Eastern churches,
calling for their young people to go there as teachers and preachers. I had
already felt a desire to become a minister, and had commenced study at Thetford
Academy, Vt. In 1833, the Rev. J. J. Shipherd came from the West, and unfolded
his plan for a colony and a college at Oberlin, Ohio. Many of the best members
of our churches went thither as colonists, and I decided to go there to pursue my
studies, leaving my sister Rhoda to bring home her husband, a young farmer, to
take my place in caring for my parents. Reaching Oberlin in the autumn of 1833,
I found it a small settlement composed of a dozen log houses and one frame
building, in a dense forest, some six miles from any town. In 183(), I was married
to the friend of my childhood, Miss Sarah G. Nelson, Mdio had removed with her
friends to that place, and to whom I had been several years engaged. In 1837,
while a member of the Theological class, I was licensed to preach, by the
Loraine County Association ; and in 1838, ordained by the same body as a mis-
sionary. In Nov., 1839, in company with several others, myself and wife went
as missionaries to the emancipated negroes in the island of Jamaica, W. I.
We were not sent by any society, but looked for our support to the people to
whom we ministered. On the 1st of Feb. following \ny Avife died, and in Juij^,
1842, I returned to this country, worn out with my labors in that climate, but
hoping, after a season of rest, to be able to resume my Avork among that people
to whom I had become greatly attached. But for the next four years, I was able to
do but little except occasionally to present the case of those people to the churches
and to individuals. In 1846, I received an appointment from the Am. Miss.
Association to raise $0,000 for the Jamaica Mission. In the autumn of 1847, I
became an Agent of the Foreign Evangelical Society in connection with Drs.
Baird, Kirk and others, having my office in Boston. In 1819, Feb. 0, I married
Miss Anna M. Sibley, of Providence, R. I., who died April 2nd, 1865. In May,
1850, the Foreign Evangelical Society united with the American Protestant
Society and the Christian Alliance, under the name of the American and Foreign
Christian Union. From that time till the autumn of 1871, I remained with the
Society as its Agent or District Secretary for New England, though in 1831 I
spent six months in Europe, and at two dift'erent times made extensive tours
through the South in the interests of the Society. Since the autumn of 1871,
when I came to Bricksburg, N. J., my health has prevented me from occupying
continuoiisl}' any post of arduous labor, but I have for a time acted as Agent for
Lincoln University, and am at present Financial Agent of Am. and For. Cliristian
Union, with special reference to raising money for its Evangelical work in
France. In 1867, Aug. 8, I married Miss Olivia C. Marcy, of Providence, R. I.,
who acts as my confidential clerk or i>rivate secretary, else you could have got
ncjthing out of me excejjt by word of mouth, for I do not ev(!n write out my
sermons, much less a letter the length of this, as my head has always been too
troublesome to allow of it.

" You ask for a sketch of my father. I can «nly say I could easier write his
biography than a sketch that would do him justice. Near the close of Ihe Revo-
lutionary war his father was drafted into the army, and he though but seventeen
years of age was accepted as his substitute. While acting as a scout he was
taken prisoner near Lake Champlain, and carried to Quebec, Canada. Being in
prison with an Englishman of education, who took pleasure in teaching him'

the new townships of Northern Vermont. Another beuetit of his soldier life and
what appeared the misfortune of impiisonment, was his receij)t of a pension for
life, which was continued to his widow after him. He was passionately fond of
the business of surveying, and his apology for not writing me on his 80th birth-
day was that Ac was out surceyi'iig. His sight, which had failed for years, had
become strong again, and his hair retained its color, and thougli three miles from
church, he often preferred walking to riding, for the sake of the exercise.
Tliough settleel upon a farm, he was engaged in teaching during the winter for
twenty-tive years, till most of his children had received their common school
education. He usually held one or more town offices, and often assisted in the
settlement of the estates of his neighbors and •friends. Thougli too doubtful of
his own religious state to join the church till late in life, he was eminently a
religious man, always maintaining jirayers in his family and in his school. He
wastlie first Sunday School Superintendent I ever knew, and among the first in
New Hampshire ; and continued his connection with the S. S. either as Supt. or
teacher as long as he lived. His love for children increased with his j'ears, and
he was greatly beloved liy them in return. Though a moderate drinker, as to the
use of ardent spirits so universal in his day, he was one of the first to place him-
self under the banner of total abstinence, giving up for the sake of others what
he conceived to be the real advantages of a restricted use of such stimulants.
In fine, he was a good man, and a just, and his memory is precious. He was the
most honest, unselfish man I ever knew. If he erred at all, it was in loving his
ueighbor better than himself — (a characteristic which has descended to some of
his children. Mrs. H.)

" I fear you find it hard work to get the matter you want for your book, but
hope others have been more satisfactory people to inquire of than you have found
me. If my nieces do not respond, I will try again, but I have directed them to
Avrite to your address as the shortest and most direct way for 3^ou to get the infor-
mation you wish for.

" As'to my maternal ancestors, I never w^as acquainted with them and could n't
say much in regard to them. I only remember going to my grandfather's funeral
when I was four years okl, and that when rejiroved by my sister for not crying, I
said, " I can't, because I have n't any pocket handkerchief." My grandmother
lived to a great age. Most of their descendants went to the West, and are
unknown to fame and me. *

" This is all I can do at this time.

" With kind regards, vours,

"GEORGE LEWIS HOVEY."

(By Mus. HovET.)

Another sketch of Daniel Hovey,^ from the pen of his niece, Mrs.
Ruth Hovey Sprague,' is here inserted, and will be no less interesting
than the preceding one by his son.

" Daniel, eldest son of elder Samuel and Abigail (Cleveland) Hovey, was born
in Canterbury, Conn., July 24th, 1764. In his childhood or early youth his
parents removed to the town of Lyme, N. H.

" On the KJth of October, 1781, he, with four others, were sent on a scout from
a fort in Corinth and were fired upon in the town of Jericho by a party of sixteen
tories, some of whom were acquainted with, and had partaken of the hospitality
of the family. One member of the scouting party was mortally wounded and
died the next day. The scouts jumped into some high brakes and thick bushes,
and hid themselves. Four of them were soon discovered, and three being asked
in turn how many there were, answered '• four " ; when the fourth one was asked,
being a very honest fellow, he answered " five." Thereupon search was made

for the fifth, ;ind Daniel was discovered. On being ordered he at once gave up
his arms, but he told me that for awhile he trembled excessivel3\ He said, " One
said on hearing my account ' I would not have given up mj^ gun ' ; another, ' I
would not have come from my cover ' ; but none of them know what they would
have done." The leader of the tories shook him by the hand, inquired after the
health of his father, and said if he had him there he would treat him. It appeared
this tory was supposed to be a patriot, and had been told of the contemplated
expedition of the scouts.

" The four scouts were taken to Quebec and imprisoned ; Daniel being confined
in the same cell with an elderly prisoner of good education, who had been for
some years a teacher. They sold a part of their allowance of food, and bought
paper and a few books, and at this seminary the ready scholar acquired a consider-
able part of his education. They were permitted to exercise occasionally in
making pickets under a guard, outside the prison walls. A charitable lady
occasionally sent them a welcome present of some nice little dish as an addition
to their prison fare. After a captivity of eleven months, his father received in-
telligence that an exchange of prisoners had been made, and that the son was
liberated. He went a day's journey to meet his footsore son, lent him the horse,
and walked home by his side.

"After the close of the war our scout married Beulah Pingree, a highly
accomplished and very beautiful young lady, and settled on the banks of the
Connecticut, in the town of Lyme, Grant's island being a part of his farm. In
addition to his farming business, he taught in the district schools of the town
more than twenty winters; filled nearly all olhces of honor and trust; was active
in establishing a circulating library; was often chosen to settle differences among
his neighbors and townsmen ; never had a lawsuit, and was " Uncle Daniel " to
all, young or old, of his acquaintance.

" Having for many years received from a grateful Government a pension for
the patriotic services of his youth, and having lived to a good old age and seen
his six children useful, beloved and respected, the dear old saint departed to that
rest that remaineth to the people of God.

"In stature he was short, had dark brown hair and blue eyes; was very un-
assuming in his appearance, and in his countenance and manner of speaking
resembled his mother more than any other of his children I ever knew. In his
will he bequeathed a Bible to each of his grandchildren and one to his grand-
nephew, D. H. Sprague, my younger sou. (Deceased.)

" His elder son, Daniel, became a practicing physician in Lyme for many
years, having been educated at Dartmouth College.

" The younger son, his youngest child, became a minister of the gospel, and
at one time was a missionary in the West Indies, subsequently laboring in the
southern New England States.

" His four daughters were highly intelligent, accomplished and beautiful
women, one of whom, Elizabeth, was, I think, the most engaging lady whose
acquaintance and friendship I ever enjoyed. She devoted several years of her
life to teaching in New Hainpshire ; in Vermont, where I had the good fortune to
be favored by lier instruction; and in Ohio, where she passed five years in
teaching in several .schools and academies.

"But excepting the youngest son and daughter they are all 'Beyond the
river.' Peace to their ashes. I loved them well."

It is said that Daniel Hovey ^ left among his papers a full and care-
fully prepared account of his ancestry (Ilo-vei/s and Clevelands), but
strangely enough no one now seems to know what became of the docu-
ment after his decease. The following inscription upon his monument in
the cemetery at Lyme, N. H., was prejjared in accordance with his wish :

"Daniel Hovey, born in Windham, Conn., July 24, 1764, married Beulah
Pingree, of Hanover, Feb. 18, ITS'J— by whom he had" four sous a
Died March 2, 1850, aged 86."

A short sketch of Col. Lord is g-ivon on page 14, but the following
obitviary notice at the time of his death is here inserted, as a just tribute
to a brave and Christian soldier of the nation:

" [Comimiuieatod.
" THE LATE MAJOR RICHARD S. LORD.

"Eds. Com. — Major Richard S. Lord, who died in Eellefontaine, Ohio, on the
15th inst., deserves more than a passing notice. He was one of those working-
soldiers, who, having no 'friend at court,' hadtodei)end upon his own resources,
and stand upon his own merits in his conflict with the world, and he did it well.

"Graduating at West Point creditably, he soon entered the cavahy arm of the
service, for which he had a decided preference. Stationed for several years in
New Mexico and Arizona, he was still in the far West when the civil war broke
out. His record as a soldier is most honorable; he i)articipated in the following,
amongst other conflicts, and in all those enumerated he was in command of his
regiment — the 1st United States Cavalry: Val Verde, New Mexico, February 21,
1862; Apache Ranche, March 8, 1862; Stoneman's raid against Richmond, April
and May, 1808; Beverly Ford, Virginia, June 1), 18(;3; Aldie, June 18, 1863;
Middleburgh, June 19, 1803; Uppervllle, June 21, 18(i3; Gettysburg, July 1 to 3,
ls6o; Williamsport, Virginia, July 6, 1S63; Boousborough, Julj^ 7 and 8, 1863;
Funktown, July 9, 1803; Dinwiddle Court House, March 30 and 31, 1865; Five
Forks, April 1,1805; Sutherlanil Station, April 2, 1865; Bevil's Bridge, April 3,
1865; Deacousville, the same day.

" In all of these engagements Major Lord shone as a brave and skillful officer.
He w^as painfully wounded at the battle of Funktown, and his conduct at the
battle of Five Forks was the theme of the public commendation in all the news-
papers of the laud, at the period when it was fought, and called out the special
antl personal approval of Major General Sheridan, and was the occasion of his
receiving brevet promotion.

" After the surrender of General Lee, the First Cavalry w^as detailed as the
escort of General Sheridan, Major Lord commanding. Upon this duty he con-
tinued until ordered to California with his regiment, last winter.

"Major Lord was high minded and most honorable in all his instincts.
Knowing that 'thrift follows fawning,' he refused to humiliate himself to attain
l)osition. He w^as always of the opinion that the high honor which only can
gi\e self-respect, is the brightest gem that adorns the escutcheon of a soldier.
Like all brave men he was tender hearted and abhorred cruelty; and he never
forgot while in the line of his duty as a soldier, what was due to humanity.

" His last illness was lingering and painful in the extreme; but he bore the
bodily and mental anguish of c(msumption with calm courage and patient resig-
nation. He was yet young, and had many ties that it was hard to sever. But
throughout all, his voice was the most cheerful of any in his room: and long
after lie knew the moorings of life were irrecoverably lost, and he was drifting
out from sight and from sound, thus feeling and thus speaking, he entered, unaji-
palled, the impenetrable mist.

" He died a Christian. Leaving behind him his companions in arms, with
many a longing, lingering look, he enlisted in a better and higher service, and
became, as he iiimself exjiressed it, a soldier of the Cross.

"Surely such a man deserves well of his country, and the tear of gratitude
and atteetion, and the poor compliment of a public notice of his deeds and
memory, but illy repay a life of toil and devotion to the interests of his country.

Under date of June 4, 1879, Rev. Horace N. Hovey closes a letter
addressed to the compiler of this work, as follows:

"As to myself I hardly know what to write, or what I wrote in my former
letter. For some eight years after marriage I was a farmer in the town of
Albany, Vt. Commenced in the ministry in 1843. In the spring of 1843 left
the farm and removed to the village, in All)any, and entered upon the work of
the ministry, and had the charge of the church most of the time until the fall
of 1866. In that time I had the pastoral charge of the church in Newport for
eight years — in Irasburgh for three years — preaching at these places one-half the

time and at Albany the other half. In July, 1876, I removed my family to
Lowell, Vt., my present residence, having had the charge of the small Baptist
Church here for nearly three years. Since July, 187(5, my labors have continued
here unbroken, except the time for rest on a journey to visit friends in Illinois,
and some three months in the summer of 1874, to visit my daughter in River
Falls, Wis.

"I shall be highly gratified to receive any sheets of your forthcoming
volume, and as highly pleased to render any service you may wish in my power.
Mail time has come, and I close in haste.

Your cousin truly,

HORACE NELSON HOVEY."

Mrs. Ruth Hovey Sprague, of East Brookfield, Vt., furnishes the
following sketch of this family:

" Rufus Cleveland Hovey, fourth child of Elder Samuel and Abigail (Cleveland)
Hovey, was born A. D. 1770, and married Grrace Billings, with whom he resided
in the town of Brookfield, Vt. , where he died at the age of 40, leaving a widow with
nine children, the youngest being an infant daughter. His eldest son, Billings,
assumed the care of the family, honoring his father by his affectionate care of
his mother, brothers and sisters. To see Billings bring his infant sister to the
Sabbath services, and phice her tenderly in the mother's arms, was pleasant; and
a gratified smile, chased by a tear, would pass round the circle, seated on those
same long benches.

" But two years after the death of the father, both mother and infant fell
victims to the same fever that was fatal to tlie husband and father. Billings in
the meantime had married a wortby lady. Miss Polly Kendall, and brought her
into the family. She remarked, after the death of the mother, that if she was
ever to marry Billings she married him at the right time, for she had learned how
to manage the family.

"In the family were two young men, Orange and Silas; besides Rhoda,
Simeon, Asaliel, Laura and Horace; these five having for guardians their uncles,
Samuel and Alvan, who resided within a quarter of a mile on either side. This
large family, in additicm to their own children, Billings and Polly cared for and
educated to the satisfaction of both guardians and wards.

"At this time Billings was not a professor of religion, but his wife was a
pious lady. There being great interest felt in the community on the subject of
religion, evening meetings were frequently held, and 'Polly,' being very anxious
for her husband, had arranged with a younger member of the family to stay at
home and care for the children, that Billings might accompany her on this even-
ing to a meeting at Uncle Samuel's. This, Billings declined, and she went with-
out him, praying as she went. After she had gone, Billings concluded to go
privately, as it was now dark. He and Uncle Samuel's son, Willis, who had also
absented himself from the meetings, crept silently into an adjoining room to
listen to the exercises. Now, there were among the praying brethren, two, viz..
Uncle Samuel, and Deacon Edward Sprague, who were especially gifted in prayer
— (an eccentric person said, ' When they pray, how the blessings shell down,') —
and on this evening their petitions seemed more solemn and weighty than usual.
Before their prayers were finished, behold! the door opened; Billings and Willis
walked into the room, fell on their knees, acknowledged their sins, begged for
and obtained pardon. Billings retired for the night, and I have heard him say
he heard a sound like a heavy stone falling and rolling across the room; and
these words, ' Whoso falleth on this stone shall be broken, but on whomsoever it
shall fall, it shall grind him to powder.' To all human appearance, perhaps few
have lived a more Christian life.

" His brothers and sisters coming to maturity, he sold the farm which had
been his father's, divided to each child his patrimony, removed fifty miles north
to the town of Albany, where land was cheap, and made himself a new home.
To this place his brothers and one sister gathered, and with his own sons made a
new ' Hovey neighborhood.' There, his death occurred many years after, and

the news passed iu Brookfield, ' Uood brother Billings has gone.' His aged
widow still resides among her children iu Albany.

" Of Uncle Rufus I can say little. All I remember of him is attending his
funeral. My mother was much attached to lum, and often spoke of him very
aiiectiouately. His youngest son has been a minister of the Gospel, and has
preached in Lowell, Vt., many years.

"Another item or two of Uncle Daniel: His grandson, Sylvanus Hibbard,
tells me that when he was surveying the towns in the eastern part of the State, he
lost his knife, and, having his pen to mend, he mended it with his hatchet. At
one time he walked from his home iu Lyme to Brookfield, to visit his father's
family, ou the frozen snow crust, iu company with another man. It could not
have been less than twenty-eight or thirty miles — a good day's work.

" I know scarcely anything of Uncle Abner. Probably you have received his
history from Mrs. Woodworth. li. H. SPRAGUE."

Ohio, July 5, 1835, Rev. Oliver Atwood, son of James and Elizabeth

(McAllister) Atwood. He was b. in Vermont, ,1808; a Methodist

minister, whose missionary zeal prompted him to remove, in July, 1837,
to the territory of Iowa, to make a home for his family and act as local
preacher in that portion of the far West. In the latter part of the
month of August, 1838, he left home with the expectation of being-
absent about four weeks, his objective point being some foi*ty miles
distant. Not returning at the expiration of the time specified, his wife
and friends became alarmed about him, and, on making inquiries, found
that he had been at the Indian village (now Iowa City) some ten days
before on his way home, and had purchased at the store there articles for
the use of his family. Upon this intelligence, the neighbors turned out
en tnasse, to search for him, the place where he was last seen alive being
about ten miles only from his residence. His body was discovered, bear-
ing the evident marks of tomahawk and scalping knife, and torn and
mangled by beasts of prey. No doubt existed that he had fallen a
harmless and unoffendino' victim to savage barbarity, and it was
thought he had been killed to atone for the death of a prominent brave
of the tribe, at the hands of a man by the name of Ross, who had been
arrested for the deed, broke jail, and escaped out of the country. But
Indian vengeance must be satisfied, and one pale face is as good as
another to the red man of the forest, to wipe out his real or fancied
wrongs. The date of Rev. Oliver Atwood's sad death was Sept.
20, 1838. His widow returned to her friends in Ohio, and m. third, in
Sherman, Huron county, Ohio, Aug. 21, 1839, Hiram Atwood, a brother

of her Uncle Samuel :

" Samuel Hovey, the sixth child of Elder Samuel and Abigail C. Hovey, was
born Oct, 20, 1774, and married Amy Billings, a sister of Grace, who was wife to
his brother Rufus. He was a man of middling stature, had, like the other mem-
bers of the family, blue eyes and brown hair, was of a social, friendly nature, and
was very much respected by the community and beloved by his family. He was
honored by the Legislature of tlie State with the appointment to the office of
Justice of the Peace. It fell to his lot to care for his aged parents during many
years of their age and infirmities, which duty he fulfilled to the entire satisfac-
tion of the family. He was a kind husband, a tender parent, and a dutiful son,

" He was for many years a prominent member of the Baptist Cliurch, which
his influence and example helped to sustain.

"He was twice married, his second choice being a maiden lady, Phyletta
Kendall, a sister of that Polly who was wife of his nephew, Billings. At his
death he left two sons and a daughter by his first wife, and two daughters, the
children of his widow.

" Headcjuabteks, Gen. Hoveys DivixroN.

Oh.^klestown, Tenn.. .May 'J, IHtU.

"De.\r Cousin:

" I have just received your letter dated March 27th. I am the son and ouiy
surviving child of your uncle Abiel Hovey, who left Vermont in 1818 or 1819, and
settled in Indiana. One letter written to me by my uncle Alvin is all that I
have ever received from the family until the arrival of yours.

"My father died in 1823, leaving my mother with seven children — Fanny,
Eliza, Amanda, Charlotte, Charles, Minerva and myself, then less than three
years of age. My mother died in 1836, and my sisters are all dead; and all Init
Fanny and Amanda leaving families. My only brother Charles was killed last
Januarjr, a year ago, by a cannon. He also leaves a family. Our residences are
at Mount Vernon, Indiana.

" My wife died last October, leaving me two children — a daughter Essie, now

finishing her education at Madam Hoffman's School in the city of New York,
and my son Charlie who is at school in Evansville, Indiana.

"I am now at Charlestown, Tenn., in command of the 1st Division of the
23rd Army Corps, which will move in the morning in the direction of Dalton,
where we soon expect to have a severe battle. My history is known in the West,
and if you should have any curiosity in regard to it, I trust you will find that
our common name has never suffered by any conduct of mine.

"I truly thank you for the information that you have so kindly furnished me
in regard to our family. I trust that I shall some day be able to visit my father's
family and see my relatives. I have never yet met even a cousin of my father's
family. My regards to all my kindred who may feel an interest in my welfare.

Yours truly,

ALVIN P. HOVEY. "

Mrs. Sprague contributes the following sketch of the family :

"Alvan Hovey, eighth child of Elder Samuel and Abigail C. Ho vey, was-
born March 8, 1779.

" Some of his childish sayings have been preserved by tradition in the family.
When a very little fellow, his father, being absent in the patriot army during the
Revolutionary war, wrote to his mother ; and she, while reading the letter, shed
tears over it. Little Alvan looked up, full of sympathy, saying : " What 'oar (roar)
for, mammy V Daddy home." When, a few j^ears older, he had been guilty of
some childish fault," his vexed father approached him rather hastily, Alvan
looked on all sides and petitioned, ' Please, sir, don't knock me over that stump ! '
When, older still, being at school, the teacher at different times gave leave to the
scholar at the foot of the class to pronounce a word for the class to spell, and
whoever could spell it was to stand at the head of the class, Alvan, being at
the foot, had leave to name a word to the class. 'Spell cotton.' Commencing
at the head, the word went through the class, and, according to Alvan, was
missed by each in turn. The teacher says: "Alvan, you must spell it yourself."
' W-o-r-s-t-e-d ; oh! it is worsted.' And Alvan marched to the head of his class,
without farther invitation.

" He married Nancy Seabury, a lady of a very respectable family, by whom
he had four daughters and one son. The son died of fever at the age of eleven
years. Subseciuently he lost a pair of male inftmts, which caused the sorrowing-
father to exclaim, 'A living son is too great a blessing for me.' He received
into his family, at different times, several sons of other people, whom he edu-
cated and clothed, and received their labor on his farm till their majority. He
was for many years a deacon in the Baptist Church and a highly respectable
member of the community. He Avas the inventor of a horse rake, for which the
Government granted him a patent.

" His wife having died, he married the widow Bean, who was a daughter of
Oliver and Rachel (Cleveland) Hamblin, being his own cousin. After his death
she received an annuity from his estate during the remainder of her life. His
daughters were eminently beautiful and accomplished ladies, three of whom are
still living. He was an uncommonly handsome man, with a sedate smile on
his face and his long white hair curling over his shoulders. He, as well as his
mother, brothers and sisters, were very sweet singers, as were nearly all of the
Hovey name ; but that agreeable accomplishment was entirely denied to the
venerable elder, as well as to myself

Rev, Oliver D. Hibbard,' of Wyandotte, Mich., writes, in answer to
inquiries, the following, which is given entire:

" Your double favor, bearing date the 17th inst., has just come to hand.
Contents being noted, I snatch the fugitive moments as I can to say that in Octo-
ber, 1833, I left my old New England home, and pushed westward, leaving moun-
tains and valleys, rocks and rivers, and childhood's friends behind. Slowly the
images photographed on the inner tablet of my soul faded, and i)resent scenes
and engrossments commanded all the view. For awhile letters came and went,
but the intervals grew longer and longer. New scenes sprung up around me,
and new friends knocked at my door. New songs fell on my ear — new sights —
new forms of beauty looked at me on every hand, and challenged and transfixed
my gaze. Once — ^just once — I wended my way back to the storm-beaten cliffs of
my native North, to see my mother, my only brother, my three sisters — two of
whom were in the h(mse where they were born, and one two miles only distant —
to see my uncles, and aunts, and cousins, and my father's and grandparents'
graves. It had been fourteen years from the time of my leaving. I preached
every Sabbath, and the graves preached also.

" Soon after my return to my pastorate in Western New York, my mother
and my brother died of bilious typhus fever, within twenty days of each other.

" By and bye the muttering thunders began to rumble, the pulse of the nation
to beat faster and faster, and anon the whole land rocked in the fearful storm. You

146 Appendix.

know the dreadful story. Perhaps you went to the front. My first commission
was dated May 8, 1861, Chaplain of the G4th N. Y. Regt., and on September 16th
following I was ordered to report immediately for duty at Elmira, N. Y. I was
with my regiment through thick and thin until about the middle of October,
1864, when I applied for a discharge and was mustered out. In December fol-
lowing, I came to Wyandotte, and — here I am.

" Believe that I remain as ever, yours, O. D. HIBBARD.

" P. S. — I wish, before I close, to bear my humble testimony to the excel-
lences of my venerated grandmother Hovey, formerly Abigail Cleveland. She
was remarkable for truthfulness, patience and piety — in fact, for every domestic
and Christian virtue. In all the sweet and gentle graces of perfect womanhood,
she stood in her humble walks and ways as a grand exemplification. My mother,
named for her, inherited many of her attributes, with a splash of her father's
fire and irritability. I think my grandmother had a brother Zenas — what do
you know of him ? She had a sister, wife of Oliver Hamblin, of Brookfield, Vt.
Have you traced that branch ? O. D. H."

Another of Mrs. Sprague's admirable sketches is added:

" Abigail Hovey, ninth child of Elder Samuel and Abigail C. Hovey, was born
Dec. 25, 1780. She was married in Brookfield, Vt., to Oliver Hibbard, whose
parents were emigrants from Connecticut. She and her husband resided on a
small farm in the vicinity of their respective parents, suflering the hardships and
enjoying the pleasures incident to the dwellers in a new settlement. They were
frequent attendants at Sabbath worship in the school house, with the long
benches, and many are the times they have ridden to the meetings — about a mile
on one horse, with each a child in arms. As their family increased in num-
bers, the parents and children rode together in a common farm-cart, drawn by a
yoke of oxen ; for pleasure carriages were then unknown in the community, or
were few in number. She always seemed to feel the presence of poverty very
sensibly, endeavoring to compel limited means to make a respectable appearance.
Although an excellent cook, she was accustomed to disparage the fare set before
her friends and family. Her pious husband's answer usually was : ' It is good
enouo-h for saints ; too good for sinners.' She was large in form — would prob-
ably weigh 180 or more ; was extremely quick and sensitive in her feelings, and
resembled her father in features and mental character, more than her mother.
She was quick, active and diligent in household occupations — a very neat
housekeeper.

" Of her ten children, seven lived to maturity, and many are the hours under
the paternal roof that their voices have made sweet music together. About the
year 1833, her husband died of dropsy, bequeathing to her their pleasant home
and whatever property he possessed. She died of fever, at more than seventy
years of age. Both her sons were excellent teachers ; the oldest, Oliver Davison,
afterwards became a minister of the Gospel, and settled in the West; Wm.
Lewis, the younger son, devoted the last years of his life to commercial pursuits,
and died at Mo'ntpelier, of a fever, leaving three children, the younger son,
Oliver, being the only one now living. Two daughters, out of those ten children,

are still living.

Concerning- her own parents Mrs. Sprague contributes the following
interesting account:

"Elizabeth Perkins Hovey, tenth child of Elder Samuel tmd Abigail C.
Hovey, was born on Grant's Island, in Connecticut river, containing sixty acres
of excellent land. A slight bluft' near the centre of the island was adorned by
a house and barn, to one of which u canoe was fastened during times of high
water — all of the remaining land being submerged. At the time of her birth,
April 15, 1783, the ice of the river being deeply covered with water, and rajtidlj"
thawing, tiie company invited on the occasion were carried across on men's
shoulders. The family remained in this island home till her ninth year, and the
little fishes were among her earliest playthings. She deliglited to feed them
with crumbs of bread and bits of meat, and her brothers, designing to terrify
her, caught her and tossed her into the water, but instead of being terrified, she
was delighted.

" From the island, the fumily removed to Norwich, Vt., and at the age of
twelve, they again removed to Brooktield. Here she became a pupil in a little
log school house, which was afterwards burned. Her hcidth during three years
was very delicate, and she was believed l\y her family to be in a confirmed con-
sumption ; but at the age of eighteen it greatly improved, and a journey on horse-
back, with a change of air and diet, confirmed it.

"At the age of nineteen she formed a contract of marriage with Gurdon Hib-
bard, a brother of Oliver, he being one year her senior; but constant labor as a
journeyman carpenter destroyed his health, and he was pronounced bj^ liis ])liy-
sicians, after a year of medical treatment, to be in a hopeless consumption. But
he was not hopeless. He performed a journey on horseback to Saratoga S])rings,
in the State of New York, in opposition to the strenuous advice of liis family,
they never expecting to see him come back alive. After drinking the water a
few weeks, his racking cough abated, and his violent night sweats disappeared.
After his recoverj'^, he bought fifty acres of land near his father, built himself a
barn, set out an orchaid, and was finally married, on Dec. 25, 1809, after an
engagement of seven years; her father officiating at the ceremony, and present-
ing her a Bible as a wedding gift. The ne.\t day she rode behind her husband
on horseback to his father's, about three-fourths of a mile, in a part of whose
house they made a temporary home while he should build himself a house.

" Her furniture consisted of two tables, two chests of drawers, six kitchen
chairs and a rocking chair, two bedsteads, a large wheel, a linen wlieel, a quill
wheel, reel and swifts manufactured by her father, a looking glass, and some
necessary crockery. She had devoted some years to sewing, making men's
clothing, which was as lucrative as any employment for young women, at thai
time; she was therefore able to furnish beds with bedding, sheets and pillow
cases, also very beautiful table cloths and towels of her own manufacture.

"Her wedding cloak was of scarlet broadcloth, reaching nearly to her feet,
the body, armholes, cape and standing collar trimmed with silk velvet ribbon,
nearly three inches wide; her bonnet, black velvet, witli very little trimming;
and, no doubt she was thought to make a. very respectable appearance on a pil-
lion. She had very deep blue eyes — they passed for black in the evening — dark
brown hair, a very full forehead, and a fair skin. She was taller than any of her
sisters, and weighed at her marriage (as did her husband), just one hundred and
sixty pounds.

"She was a splendid singer, the best of the family, equal to her mother, She
sang, in her girlhood, more than sixty songs, and I have heard that while sing-
ing 'The Exile of Erin,' tears would fall fast from the eyes of the company of

Appendix. 151

auditory, excited by llie music and the patlios of the soug. Her children were
indifferent singers,' but her husband liad a very fine cultivated voice; her grand-
children and g'reat-graudchildrcn are some of them excelled only by her. There
was mu^ic indeed when the husband and wife, by their own fireside, their chil-
dren for auditors, sung the old fugue tunes which were then passing_ out of use
among the people, l)nt have sometimes returned, and been popular with musical
choirs.

" By close economy they were enabled to make at different times additions to
the farm, till it numbered between two and three hundred acres; to build two
additional barns and a very convenient farm house. Her husband, a few years
after marriage, introduced, the first Spanish merinoes into the town, having
bought a pair of lambs for one hundred dollars of Wm. Jarvis, late Consul from
the United States to Spain. Two spinners were hired two or three months in the
summer, and, some years as many as two hundred pounds of wool were manu-
factured into cloth, she doing the weaving; the cloth, when dressed, compared
favorably with imported broadcloth, and commanded one dollar and a half to
two dollars per yard. These spinners worked in the room where she and her
little daughters were performing the houseiiold work for the family. "While the
work went on, beautiful hymnsVere sung, and there was much happiness under
a ver}^ humble roof.

"After fourteen years of married life, their sou and six daughters having
been taught, began to take the places of hired laborers, and in the succeeding
years mother and daughters performed music on wheels and loom, which, if not
equal to the piano, yet had a very cheerful sound, and besides helped to render
the family comparatively independent. The long evenings of winter were passed
with a table in the centre of the room, the mother and daughters employed in
knitting or sewing, at the same time listening to the vocal reading of the father,
who was extremely fond of books.

" The oldest daughter married at the age of nineteen, the third went to reside
in New Hampshire with a cousin, and the second was about to follow to New
Hampshire as a teacher; the mother's heart began to feel bereaved. Her cry
was, 'Joseph is not, Simeon is not, and ye will take Benjamin also.' But swiftly
passed the fleeting years. All the children departed to other homes, excepting
the third daughter, who returned to the paternal roof, and relieved the mother of
her burden of labor while moving down the vale of years. Finally, at the age of
eighty-one, after one day's illness, she folded her tired hands, gently closed her
eyes and breathed her latest breath, and slept fliat sleep which seemed more like
translation than death.

"Her daughters, with loving hands, robed the sacred remains for burial, and
she rests in hope of a glorious immortality. Her husband survived her eight
years, a most di.sconsolate mourner. He said to his daughter, 'There has been
no day that I have not thought of her.' During all the years of their married
life she had been the chief company he sought, had been consulted in all busi-
ness affairs, and although a feeble woman in health, had borne her full share of
the family burdens. I never knew a more conscientious person. She was wor-
thy of all the confidence and affection she received from him and her children.

" Like all her sisters whom I have seen she resembled her father in features,
but, more than any, she resembled her mother in the qualities of her mind. In
all her work she was extremely nice, ' so exquisite with her needle.' Six of her
children survived her; and in'hope of meeting her in a world where is no death,
we laid her in that cemetery where her parents and daughter, and many other
relatives are laid, and where, eight years after, we laid her husband by the side
of her who was the choice of his youth.

The subjoined sketch of the matei-nal grandparents of Mrs. Ruth
Hovey Sprague concludes Appendix E:

"To rescue from oblivion, even for a brief period, the memory of those we
love, is a solace and a pleasure. This sentiment prompts me to ])en a brief sketch
of my grandmother, Abigail Cleveland, wife of Rf?v. Samuel Hovey. She was
born in Connecticut about the year 1746, aud married at the early age of seven-
teen, her husband being three years her senior. Their first children were born
in Canterbury, Conn., from which place they removed to Lyme, N". H., and on
Grant's Island, in Connecticut river, several of the youngest of thirteen
children were born, and here her aged parents found a home and that tender care
which only a devoted daughter can bestow.

156 Appendix.

" In 1791, the family removed to Norwich, Vt., and one year thereafter her
aged mother died.

" In 1794, they removed to Broolvfield, Vt., bringing witli them her aged and
intirm father, for -vvhom slie filially cared till his death in 1797. Few daughters
have been privileged to care for a parent as she for her father, his state of mind
and body requiring almost constant attention, which was given lovingly and
cheerfully. Her husband was much from home, laboring with the churches
in adjoining towns, holding meetings in school houses, dwelling houses and
barns, for church edifices were in that new country few and far between. Her
large family, which somt times numbered sixteen persons, with the labor of clear-
ing away forests and cultivating a large farm, mnnufacturinir woolen and linen
cloth for the family, was directi d by her and her children. They planted a very
large orchard, which remains to this day, built the first cider mill, and literally
made the desert blossom. Many are the times she, her neighbors, and her chil-
dren, have, on Sunday morninsrs, dressed themselves in their clean homespun
clothing, and, taking their shoes in their hands, walked barefoot for miles to
some neighboring town to join in public worsliip under the preaching of the
husband, father and neighbor. No such thing as a carriage, or scarcely a decent
carriage-road, was then and there known. ' Elder Hovey' never made charges
for preaching, and sometimes when a nice little present was given him, he would
ride his old horse towards home till he came to a home poorer than his own, then
the present was sure to be left. In process of years the original log liouse gave
place to a 'framed' one, abetter barn was built, a school house soon followed,
and thrifty New England homes multiplied on every side.

"Their two oldest sons they left settled in New Hampshire, and those who
came as little children married and settled around them, till all the twelve (one
died in infancy) had gone from their home. Subsequently two daughters and
one son removed to Ohio, and one son to Indiana; three sons — Rufus C. , Samuel
and Alvan — settled on farms adjoining their parents; and two daughters, Abigail
and Elizabeth, married brothers, Oliver and Gurdon Hibbard, and also resided
near.

" Having reared all their children in habits of industry, morality and Chris-
tian principles, their old age is quiet and peaceful, as they sit in their snug little
cottage, enjoying the fruit of their labor.

"Mrs. Hovey was eminently a woman of peace, possessing 'the soft answer
that turneth away wrath,' always excusing when others accused; one of those
who never have an enemy.

" Samuel Hovey, Esq., their sixth child, cared for them many years of their
advanced age, providing them a cottage and sending their meals prepared foi- the
table, and finally hiring a young woman (who afterwards married his son) to
supply those attentions their increasing infirmities required. She often said,
' Samuel's wife could not be kinder to me if she were my own daughter.' On one
occasion, their school house having been burned, a school meeting was held in
her dwelling house to agree upon a site for rebuilding. In the course of some
controversy on the subject her son Abiel exclaimed, ' It makes my blood boil ! '
'Ah! ' said his mother, ' It is Hovey; he can't help it.'

"Elder Hovey continued to preach to extreme old age, and I have his picture
distinctly before my mind's eye, standing behind a table in our school house, his
white hair falling over his shoulders, his rudd^^ face and full blue eyes; preach-
ing to an assembly perhaps half of whom were his children and grandchildf-en ;
his little old lady of a wife sitting near him in the only chair the room could
boast of, wearing her blue print dress — the best the times aflbrded — wearing her
black bonnet, and gently waving a large black fan ; the audience seated on long-
benches around the room. She died at the age of about 87, and he at the age of
91. The church edifice and cemetery occupy a part of wliat was the farm he
bought on coming to Brookfield. In that most pleasant of rural burial places
they sleep side by side; here sleep four of their children, and almost a multitude
of their grandchildren and other relatives.

The following letter from Rev. C. P. Wing, D. D., of Carlisle, Pa.,
is given entire, hoping that its publication may lead to the discovery
of these " lost tribes " :

" Carlisle, Sept. 12, 1877.
"H. G. Cleaveland:

■' JSir — Yours of Aug. 30 reached my home while I was absent. I returned this
week, and after consulting my notes relating to family history, I can find no one
of the name of Cleaveland who has married into the Wing connection, and yet I
have a vague recollection of meeting with some record of the kind among the
letters in my possession. If on resuming the writing of our family history, (a
work whicli I am expecting at some indefinite day), I should find anything on the
sul)ject, I will bear it in mind, and send you an account of it. The name of
Bm-gess (of Maine, 1790,) occurs once or twice with respect to some distant con-
nection. The name of Freeman often occurs in our genealogies. It was derived
first from the Freeman family of Orleans on Cape Cod, who removed to Rochester,
N. Y., which married into ours. My father, who was born at Cimway, Hamp-
shire county, ]\Iass., had a half-brother named Freeman (by a third wife named
Jane Trescott,) Avho settled early in life at La oMine, near Boonville, Cooper Co.,
Missouri, married there and had seven sons and five daughters, an account of
whom I have. I had also a brother named Freeman Snow, (who was drowned in
a well at Phelps, N. Y., at about the age of 22), whom my father named after the
half-brother above named, and his grandmother of the ISnow family. I had an
uncle who resided aAvhile at Wilmington., Vermont, and afterwards at Charlemont,
Franklin Co., Mass. Another uncle (James) lived at Hinsdale, Berkshire Co.,
Mass., who was the father of Dr. Joel Wing, an eminent physician in Albany,
N. Y., who died a few years since, leaving children and grandchildren there.
These are all whom I find in my notes, corresponding in any way to the ''hints "
you wrote me, and which ofter anything on which to pursue the investigation.
I have, however, a mass of letters and papers, that on reperusal may give some
further hints, Avhicli I will give you when obtained. Should you be able to trace
connection with any of those I have mentioned, or with the Wings of Coneaut,
Ohio, of Monroe, Michigan, or of Phelps, Ontario county, New York, I should
be pleased to have it communicated to me, as I am collecting all I can obtain of
family history.

Yours very truly, C. P. WING."

"P. S. My mother's name was Mary Oliver, whom my father married at
Conway, Mass., and who died at a town up the Muskingum, twelve miles from
Marietta, Ohio, where my father then resided, but from which he removed to
Phelps, N. Y., about 1815. C. P. W."

In the " Cushman family " Genealogy there is a statement that one
William Cushman, son of William and Mary (Weaver) Cushman — b.
inCastleton, Vt., March 0, 1772 — m. in Coxsackie, Greene count}-, N. Y.,
Betsay (Jlevdand. Her parentage, however, or date and place of birth,
is not given. This William Cushman was a blacksmith, and died in
Castleton, Vt., in 1850, without children. His wife, after the death of
her husband, went to hei- friends in the State of Pennsylvania, but
exactly where they resided is not learned. Though possible, it is not
probable, that this Betsey Cleveland was the daughter of Zenas and
Eunice (Ludington) Cleveland. The compiler examined the old records
of Brookfield, Vt., and in reference to Zenas Cleveland,^ it ajipears that
21

158 Appendix.

he had a son James, b. there, Oct, ;3U, 1784, and who died Aug. 10,
1786 — also a daughter Anna (birth not recorded), who died Aug. 5,
1786 ; these are the " two youngest children " of Zenas, whose deaths are
referred to in the letter of "Benjamin and Rachel Cleaveland" on
page 10.

It also appears by the records at Brooktield, Vt., that one Zenas
Cleveland sold and conveyed to Francis Thompson, Jan. 19, 1790, 74
acres of land " for the consideration of Forty pounds L. M."" [lawful
money.] And also, on the 8th of March, 1791, he sold and conveyed to
Joseph Collins, physician, of Berlin, Vt., 1 60 acres of land '' for the
considei-ation of One hundred and fifty pounds L. M."

As before stated, from this date all traces of Zenas° and his family
are lost until accidentally found by his nephew, James C. Cleveland,''
about 1811, in Sullivan county, N. Y. The descendants of Zenas,* so
far as found, I was sorry to observe, had very little knowledge of even
their near relatives, much less of their ancestors, paternal or maternal.

Mr. Thomas Acklain, a merchant in Bethel, Sullivan county, N. Y.,
writes as follows (Jan. 3, 1877), in reference to inquiries concerning the
family of Zenas Cleveland, who once lived in that neighborhood: "I
learn from Joseph Peck, who is 79 years old, that William Peck, his
father, who has been dead nearly 40 years, leased a j)iece of land to
Zenas Cleveland, and after remaining on it a short time, he left and went
West. He recollects very well, he says, when Cleveland left, for his father
bought Cleveland's horse. As to the family he thinks Cleveland had
two daughters. He also says, that Zenas Cleveland worked for his father,
William Peck, one summer."

Later, (Feb. 16, 1877), Mr. Ackiam writes: "In regard to Zenas
Cleveland, I think I haveoiven vou all the information I can. Mr. Peck
says that Cleveland was a lame shoemaker, and that he had two children.
Mrs. Charles DeKay, a very old lady and resident here, says she was
acquainted with the family, and that Zenas Cleveland was lame and a
shoemaker, had a wife and two children — a boy and a girl — and thinks
the girl's name was Flora, the name of the boy she does not remember.
She recollects of the family leaving for the West, but don't know to what
place thev went. ]t would appear that there was no one here they ever
corresponded with. This has left it so it is difficult, if not impossible, to
get anv trace of descendants of the family. If yovi can think of any-
thing more that I can do for you, let me know and I will attend to it."

In reference to the supposed daughter Flora, the c(jmpiler thinks it
possible there were other children born to Zenas Cleveland, by wife
Eunice, than those given on page 21. But bereavements and frequent
removals, loss of property and straitened circumstances, operated to
scatter and gradually alienate the children of this unfortunate couple,
and it is almost impossible now to gather and restore the bi'oken links of
this genealogical chain worn and rusty with the dreary waste of many
vears. Any additional information concerning this branch, however, will
be thankfully received and acknowledged by the writei-.

Appendix. 159

Thomas Burgess,' the pioneer ancestor of the "• Burg-ess " families in
New England, arrived in Salem, Mass., from England, with a young-
family about the year 1630, and lodged for a time at Lynn. A section
of land was assigned him, July 3, 1637, in that part of Plymouth called
Duxbury, but this section of land being forfeited by his removal to Sand-
wich the same year, it was assigned to Nicholas Robbing, Nov. o, 1638,
who made to the former occupant some remuneration for fences and
culture.

In process of time he became a large landholder, and with advancing
age he was called Goodman Burgess. He served the town in every office
humble or honorable, from road-surveyor to deputy to the Coui't at
Plymouth, for several successive years.

There is a charm in the fact that the patriarchal estate has never been
alienated from the family. Benjamin — the founder of the commercial
house of Benjamin Burgess & Sons, Boston — a lineal descendant of the
sixth generation, held it in his possession, and in 1863 could point out
the old cellar in which Thomas stored his fruits, and the bubbling fountain
from Avhich he drank for forty-eight years — djdng Feb. 13, 1685, aged
82 years. His gi-ave was honored with a monument slab, imported from
England. " This was the only monument," says Amos Otis, Esq., " set'
up for any pilgrim of the first generation. Dorothy, his wife, also died in
Sandwich, Mass., Feb. 27, 1687.

The descendants of Thomas Burgess, thousands in number, are dis-
persed from Maine to California. They are chiefly devoted to agricul-
tural pursuits, many navigate the seas. Some are employed in the
mechanic arts, and others are found in the medical, clerical and legal pro-
fessions. As a race they hold fast their moral and religious integrity. —

The following, from a daughter of Folsom and Nancy (Hamblin)

"Enfieu), N. H., April 20, 1878.
Deah Cousin:

" Mauy thanks for your photograph. We prize it highly, and hope to see the
original as soon as you can spare the time to visit us. I will now endeavor to
give you what information I can concerning my mother's parents, Oliver and
Rachel (Cleveland) Hamblin.

" My grandfather Hamblin moved from Connecticut to Vermont. He, witli
two other men and their families, were the first settlers in the eastern part of
Brooktield, on " the Branch," as it was called. Soon after, the Indians became
verj^ troublesome, and the men always worked together, as they did not consider
it safe to work alone. Grandmother was very timid. She took off her gold beads
jmd her ear ornaments and put them into a pewter porringer and buried them in

1 72 Ap27e?idix.

the cellar for fear the Indians would tear the rings from her ears. Slie lived in
great fear of being tBjken by them. Indeed, she learned subsequently they had a
narrow escape on one occasion. A man by the name of Johnson being
captured by the Indians was held in custody for several months, and the chief of
the tribe gave Johnson charge of some braves while on a scouting exjtedition.
They saw grandfather and the other men at work while concealed on a hill above
them, and begged of Johnson permission to go and kill the men, but he mauaged
to restrain them. Soon after, the Indians burnt Royalton, and grandfather and
the others with their families started for Lebanon, N. H., some fifty miles
distant. While making the hurried journey, Ihey saw cattle with their tongues
cut out and otherwise barbarously injured; feather Ijeds emptied and burnt to a
crisp; and two men murdered, whom they buried under an old log. But the
party arrived safely at last in Lebanon, and staid there two years before it was
deemed safe to return. A few yeai-s after grandfather's return he sold out the
place and moved to a hill farm, where be and grandmother remained till theii'
death. They were both hard-working, industrious people, and accumulated a
g(jod property.

" My grandmother was a good-looking womau, rather stout, and was greatly
beloved by all who knew her. I well remember the linen thread she used
to s])in; it was as M'hite as snow, and exquisitely fine. She nsed to make her
muslin caps with it. She made me a present of some; and I still have one pair
of linen pillow slips made from the linen she spun and wove, all her own handi-
work, and I shall always keep them. She was an excellent butter and cheese
maker, and took care of the milk from ten cows the summer she was eighty, but
after that she commenced to fail. She nearly lost her mind before her death at
the age of 86. She was one of those cheerful, happy women — it was all sunshine
with her. My mother resembled her very much in appearance, both having dark
hair and blue eyes.

"I presume you have got your book almost c(mipleted, and I have no doubt
it will be very interesting to us all. Send me a copy and tell me the price, and I
will gladly send you the monev for it.

Very truly, etc , * ABIGAIL H. HUSE."

The followiug, iVoui Mrs. iiuth H. Sprague, concerning the Hamblins,
is subjoined. Strange to say, this conveys the first intimation to the
compiler that anj^ one of the daughters of James and Lovisa (Bigehjw)
Hamblin was married. Unfortunately the information comes too late to
be available in this edition of the work.

"lean remember Rachel Cleveland, wife of Oliver Hamblin, as a thrifty
housewife, doing the work for her son .loel (who was at that time a bachelor),
with the help of 'Dotia, her deaf and dumb daughter. In visiting with my
mother she talked of her success in making butter and cheese, and I have heard
the neighbors say no' one ever called on them without having food ottered in
token of true hospitality. I was never acquainted with her married daughters,
they having died or removed from the State l)efore ni}- remembrance. Her two
sous -Tames and .Toel settled in our town, w<'i-e for many 3'ears jjrosperous farmers,
professors of Christianity, and bore an honorable part in the public busi-
ness of the community. Five of the eldest ilaughters of James were among my
valued friends, having been for a considerable part of several years among my
dearest pupils. They were the victims of c(msumption, and died early, only one
oi the seven having married. Some were unusually precocious and talented.
Joel cared for his parents and sister 'Dotia, and on all occasions of public
worship in the school-house he was sure to be there with his family, 'Dotia in-
cluded. He removed from the place some j'cars before his death, after which my
acquaintance with his family ceased."

Brigham Payne,' eldest son and second child of James and Mercy
(Goddard) Payne, b. in Montague, Mass., Jan. 3, 1801, m. first, date and

and he m. second, a lady (name unknown) with whom he did not live
happily. He d., it is believed, in Garnett, Anderson county, Kansas, about
1876, but whether his last wife survives him, is not ascertained. Having
so far been unable to o-et communication with his children, the following:
very unsatisfactory sketch, gathered from other sources, is all the compiler
can present :

1. Marvin Henry,* date and place of b. unknown, m. a lady in Wis

consin, and moved to Kansas about 1858, and subsequently to
California. Number and names, etc., of children, if any, not
learned.

2. Julia Elizabeth,* the date and place of birth unknown, m. a Mr.

Pritchard, removed to Kansas, and from there to California.
Names of children, if any, etc., not known.

his family, if any.

6. Savilla Antoinette,*' date and place of birth unknown, or if married

or single.

7. Alice May,8 date and place of birth unknown, or if married or

single. The last three are supposed by my correspondent to be
still living in Garnett, Kansas, but as no attention has been paid
to my letters, and the Postmaster there can give no account of
them, it is probable they have all removed from the place, though
it is very strange that no one should know whither.

Mr. Payne furnishes the following letter by request of the compiler,
in reference to his ministerial labors, etc. :

" As for my ministerial record, etc. , for which you ask, it is briefly as follows —
b (I think you have my military record) :

K " My literary course was pursued in Hamilton College, Clinton, N. Y., from
P which I graduated with honor, July 10, 18(58. After passing a year each in the
Chicago Theological Seminary, and the Auburn Theological Seminary, I
graduated from Lane Theological Seminary, Cincinnati, Ohio, May 11, 1871.
Licensed to preach by Presbytery of Cayuga, April 13, 1870. Ordained to the
gospel ministry by Presbytery of St. Paul, at Minneapolis, Minn., Oct. 5, 1871.

"After declining an invitation to the pastorate of the Sixth Presbyierian
Church, of Cincinnati, Ohio, I accepted a call to the First Presbyterian Church,
of Minneapolis, Minn., July 1, 1876, and was soon after installed as its Pastor.
During this pastorate of nearly four years, considerable accessions were made to
the church, and a new and commodious edilice erected, (at that time the best
belonging to our denomination in the city), at a cost of $13,000. Resigned May

kl, 1875.
"From Feb. 1, 1876, to Nov. 13, 1870, had charge of Presbyterian Church, of
Onondasa Valley, N. Y. Dec. 1, 1876, became pastor of Presbyterian Church,
Lima, N' Y.; resigned Feb. 10, 1870. Feb. 15, 1879, accepted call to pastorate of
the Associated Presbyterian Church, of Oxford, N. Y., in which field I am now
happily and successfully laboring.

" Thanks for your kind messages to mother. She has failed (juite rapidly for
a month past, and we hardly expect to keep her with us long.

"Perhaps it may interest you to know that my brother, Wm. II. Payne, of
^ Sandwich, 111., is the inventor of a very successful Automatic Grain Binder,
H which is proving a fortune to him.

■ "I congratulate you on the approaching completion of your work on the
" Family Record. All branches of the family will owe you thanks for your
untiring labor.

1^4 Appendix.

J.

Capt. James Chamberlain, the maternal grandfather of Oren Cleve-
land,* son of Rufus' and Mary (Chamberlain) Cleveland, (see page 30,)
was a son of Joseph Chamberlain, who was resident in Tolland, Conn ,
as early as 1V37. The following entries appear on the old township
records there :

" Colbee, y' son of Mr. Joseph Chamberlain, was born y' 2'' day of
January, A. D. 1738." [He became a colonel in the Revolutionary war.]

"Jacob, y^ son of Joseph Chamberlain, was born y" 21" day of
January, A. D. 1740-41."

" William and Rebecca, y^ son and daughter of Joseph Chamberlain,
were born y' 25*'' day of January, A. D. 1744-45."

These were only those of the family of children born to him after he
settled in Tolland, but there were several older children who came with
their parents besides James, the subject of this sketch, as the following
entries show :

" Joseph Chamberlain, Jr., of Tolland, and Elizabeth Delano, of
Coventry, were married, July y* B*", A. D. 1744," followed by records of
the birth of " Susannah, born July 16, 1745," and "Joel, born October
4, 1747." The Coventry (Conn.) records have " Abner Chamberlain, y'
son of Josejih Chamberlain and Elizabeth his wife, was born November
y" 14*\ A. D. 1751." This Joseph Chamberlain, Jr., was undoubtedly
the eldest brother of Capt. James Chamberlain. There were several
sisters, names not learned, one of whom married a Chase, another
married a Rice, another a Dimmock, another a Benton, another a Delano.
One of them married for her second husband a Slosson. John Chase and
Adoniram Benton, nephews of Capt. James Chamberlain, were each
employed by him upon the extensive farm he owned, and James Cham-
berlain, Jr. (the only son of the worthy Captain), when he removed to
Canaan, Vt., in after years, was accompanied by his " uncle Bill " (Cham-
berlain) as he was familiarly called, and his cousin, Adoniram Benton.
Mr. Rice lived in Mansfield, Conn., and Mr. Dimmock, probably in
Willington, Conn., but several of the Chamberlains settled at an early
day in " Oblong," now Amenia, Dutchess county, N. Y., and about the
year 1802, Oren Cleveland,'^ with his brother Alexander,*^ rode out there
on horseback — a day's journey — to visit their relatives. They took
dinner en route at some cousins of Rufus Cleveland,'' by the name of
Cobb, and it may be that this was t\\Q family name of Rachel, the
mother of Rufus,* and wife of Benjamin Cleveland,* or perhaps a sister
of the said Rachel had married a Cobb. My father seems quite certain
that these Cobbs were his father\^ cou-'^iiis. Possibly they were children
of Dorothy Cleveland,'* who may have so married. The town where this
family of Cobbs resided, is not remembered by my father, but he thinks
it was about half way between Winsted, Conn., and Amenia, N. Y.

The compiler has reason to believe that Capt, James Chamberlain
was a descendant of Thomas Chamberlain, of Newton, Mass., who it

Appendix. 185

\

is concluded was a son of "William Chamberlain, of Woburn, Mass.,
who had, at Concord : 1. Timothy, b. Aug-. 13, 1649. 2. Isaac, b. Oct.
1, 1650, d. young; prob. removed to Billerica, Mass., in 1654 ; had there,
.3. Sarah, b. Jan. 18,1656. 4. Jacob, b. Jan. 18, 1658. 5. Thomas,
b. Feb. 20, 1659. 6. Edmund, b. July 15, 1660. 7. Rebecca, b. Feb.
25, 1662. 8. Abraham, b. Jan. 6, 1664. 9. Ann, b. March 3, 1666.
10. .Clement, b. May 30, 1669. 11. Daniel, b. Sept. 27, 1671 ; and 12.
Isaac, b. Jan. 20, 1681. His wife Rebecca, mother of the last four children,
perhaps of more, d. Sept. 26, 1692, in prison, on the preposterous charge
of witchcraft, and he d. May 31, 1706, aged 85." [The foregoing is
from Savage's Gen. Diet, of First Settlers of New England, Vol. I,
CiiAiMUERLAiisr, page 352.]

Thomas Chamberlain, of Newton, Mass., it appears, m. April 18,
1682, Elizabeth Hammond, a daughter of Thomas and Elizabeth (Sted-
man) Hammond. She was b. in Newton, Mass., Nov. 3. 1664. They
had: 1. Thomas, b. Sept. 10, 1683. 2. Elizabeth, b. Aug. 1, 1686.
3. Rebecca, b. March 11, 1689. 4. Mary, b. Feb. 11, 1693. 5. Sarah,
b. Oct. 18, 1695. 6. John, b. Sept. 26, 1698, and (probably) 7.
Joseph, b. about 1700, and 8. William, b. about 1704. Joseph, it is con-
jectured, was the father of (Capt.) James, but the place of the birth of
the latter, which occurred on Feb. 11, 1734, O. S., is not positively
learned, though it is thought to have been Mansfield.

The full maiden name of his mother is not found, or remembered by
his grandson, Oren Cleveland,^ but there is little or no reason to doubt
her given name was Mary.

By the Coventry (Conn.) records, it appears that " James Chamberlain
and the widdow Abigail Palmer, the dafter of Zachariah Bointon,* was
married together, January, y* 27, A. D. 1757." By her first husband,
John Palmer, she had four children, all b. in Coventry, Conn., as follows :

1. Hannah, b. May 21, 1749, m. in Coventry, Joel Chamberlain, son
of Joseph and Elizabeth (Delano) Chamberlain, and dying in child bed
March 18, 1769, gave her infant daughter to her mother, then Mrs. Capt.
James Chamberlain, to rear, and nurse with her own child, a babe of
tender years (Naomi), and so daughter and granddaughter were fed and
cradled together. The babe, called Haimah for her mother, grew to
womanhood, and m. Dr. Joseph Chamberlain, by whom she had a son
named Oren, and they resided in New York State, probably in or near
Amenia, Dutchess county.

2. John, b. June 22, 1751, m. in Tolland, Conn., Ruth Chapman, a
dau. of Deacon Chapman and sister of Elijah Chapman, Sheriff of
Tolland county. He was a tanner ; removed to Charlotte, Vt., where he
carried on the business of farming very successfully. He d. there, July
8, 1834, and his wife May 13, 1822. They had a family of six children,

* Zacliary Boynton married Sarah Wicom, [Wyckliam] a native of England, and had, accord-
ing to tlic n^cords in Coventi-v, seven children, nanielv: 1. John, 1). Oct. 9, 1718. 2. Ilariiiah, b.

about the year 1848. He d. in Fredonia, N. Y. His brother James
Hall, M. D., was surgeon of a brigade during the war, and d. in Brocton,
Chautauqua county, N. Y. ; another, Rev. Albina Hall, is living in North-

they had a family of children. One daughter, Hannah West, was brought
to Capt. Chamberlain's, and remained until she married John Barton, son
of Col. Barton, Providence, R. I., of Revolutionary fame. Nothing
further learned of their children.

4. Abigail, b. July 22, 1755, m. Oliver Edgerton, son of Hezekiah
Edgerton, of Tolland, Conn. They came, however, soon after to Ware-
house Point, Conn., and he engaged in trade, but his wife dying, he
returned to his native place after marrying a widow with considerable
property at Amenia, N. Y. His father was at one time a resident of
Norwich, Conn., and deeded, Feb. 2, 1775, a farm of 82^ acres in
Tolland, to his son Oliver. No children.

The descendants of Abigail (Boynton) Palmer, by second husband,
Capt. James Chamberlain, claim more particular attention, and will be
next in order.

As before stated, they "were nmrried together, Jan. y' 27, A. D.
1757," in Coventry, Conn., and their children were six in number, as
follows, all b. in Coventry, or Tolland, Conn. :

Roswell Paine, the husband of Sally Chamberlain, was an own cousin to
Edward Payne, the husband of Persis Cleveland,'* (seepage 26.) Though
spelling the name differently, both were descended from Stephen Paine
of Rehoboth, Mass., a miller by occupation and the founder of this
branch of the Paine family. He came from near Hingham, Norfolk
county, Eng., in 1638, in the ship D)7h';/ent of Ipswich, John Martin,
master, bringing his family, CDUsisting of his wife Rose, three sons and
four servants, and settled first in Hingham, Plymouth county, Mass. He
was made a freeman in 1639, and elected a Representative or Deputy in
1641. Two or three years afterwards, he removed with his family to

196 Appendix.

" Seekonk " which settlement it was decided, at the suggestion of Rev.
Samuel Newman, (who came there from Weymouth, Mass., with the
gieater part of his congregation), should be called Rehoboth. Mr. Paine
became prominent in the affairs of the colony, and held many offices of
honor and trust, as shown by the records of the town. He was a man of
wealth for those days, his estate being valued in 1643 at £535; the third
highest on the list. As indicative of the confidence his townsmen had
in his judgment, it may be stated that in 1659, "it is agreed upon
between the Town and Lieut. Hunt and William Bucklin, that they is
to shingle the new end of the meeting house, and to be done as suffi-
ciently as the new end of Goodman Paynes house," the inference being,
of course, that what was good enough for him was good enough for the
town. His two sons that grew to manhood and left families were
Stephen and Nathaniel; the eldest son of the former, also named Stephen,
being the grandfather of Roswell and Edward. A very complete
genealogy of the families bearing the name of Payne (or Paine) in this
country, may be had by application to Henry D. Paine, M. D., 26 West
30th street. New York.

chant in early life, and associated with his father under the style of
" James Chamberlain & Son," at Warehouse Point, East Windsor,
Conn. He retired from business, and removed to Canaan, Vt., where he
engaged in buying and selling horses and cattle. As a horseman he had
few if any superiors. While a resident of Vermont, he was elected a
member of the Legislature one or two terms, and being fond of and
excelling in military drill and exercises, he received from the State his
commission as a major in the militia.

Concerning the JBabcocAs, the following may be of interest to the
descendants of Maj. James and Annah W. (Babcock) Chamberlain:

" Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Jan. 6, 1879.
" Dear Sir : About the beginning of the eighteenth century my great grand-
father, Amos Babcock, came over from England and settled in Providence, R. I.,
and, tradition says, two brothers, Stephen and Timothy, came with him. Timo-
thy took an active part in the Indian wars; but Stephen Avas a person of literary
tastes and habits, who considered "the pen mightier than the sword." My
grandfather was also named Amos, and was born about 1715 to 1718; was sent to
England to finish his education; returned to Providence about 1735 to 1740;
married Miss Annah Watkins; settled in Ashford, Windham county. Conn., and
had a family of children as follows: 1. Stephen, who m. Prudence .

2. Elijah, who m. for his first wife Elizabeth Bassett. 3. Sally, who m. Shubal
Gear. 4. William, who d. in his sixth year. 5. Amos, who m. Peggy Peabody.

6. Horace, who m. a Miss Berry. 7. Roswell, who m. a Miss Holt. 8. Miriam,
who m. a Mr. Keyes. 9. Annah W., who m. a Mr. Wales.

"Elijah Babcock, the second son and child, b. in Ashford, Conn., about 1745,
m. first, about 1762-3, Elizabeth Bassett, by whom he had, in Ashford, Conn.:
1. Roxana, who m. Col. Jacob Newkirk. 2. Linda, who m. Peter Campbell.

3. Hettie, who m. Col. Baldwin. 4. Annah Watkins, who m. Maj. Chamber-
lain. 5. William, who m. Rhoda Hull. 6. Elizabeth, who m. George Steele,

7. Ralph, who d. July 15, 1859, unmarried. 8. Prudence, who also m. George
Steele, husband of her sister Elizabeth, deceased. And by second wife, Ruhama
Hare : 9. Annah Watkins (again), who m. Dr. Harvey Burritt, and d. in South
Toledo, Ohio, Feb. 4, 1879, aged about 70. 10. Amos, who was b. Oct. 22, 1811,
m. Caroline Lucas, and resides (1879) in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

" It is related of my grandfather, that while attending college in England,
and on a wager with his fellow students, he threw one of the king's guards off
his horse, mounted the animal and made his escape. On another occasion, at
the queen's levee she held out her hand for the students to kiss as they passed by,
but he audaciously kissed her cheek. The ofleuse was forgiven ou his assurance
that the salutation was according to the mode adopted in the Colonies.

"When he returned to Providence he began to pay his addresses to Miss
Annah Watkins, whose father, a proud old Englishman, claiming royal blood
in his veins, promptly forbade him his house, and shut his daughter up in the
second story. But grandfather, illustrating the adage that "love laughs at
locksmiths," stole away with his sweetheart on horseback to Connecticut,
married her, and became a prominent man in Windham county. Was a repre-
sentative for twenty-six years in the Colonial Legislature, and a Selectman,
Deacon and Judge. I remember well the " coat of arms " painted on the back
of our " old shay "—two fighting cocks in the act of sparring.

"My father, Elijah Babcock, went to Vermont in 1775, joined Gen. Ethan
Allen, and helped take Fort Ticonderoga; continued a soldier through the war;
was captain of a company of men he raised in Connecticut, who marched
under Gen. Arnold to Quebec; w^as the last man Gen. Montgomery spoke to just
before the fatal bullet struck him; and was present at the surrender of Cornwallis.

"I never heard that my great grandfather had any other children than my
grandfather, but suppose he probably raised a large family.

" RespectfuUj" submitted,

"AMOS BABCOCK.

personal appearance, and well known throughout the Colony and State
of Connecticut in his day. He became dissatisfied with the Congrega-
tionalism of that period, and with Gen. Jenks, Wm. C. Warner, and
others of like mind, organized a church parish for worship according to
the forms of the mother Church of England, and was a devout and con-
sistent Churchman until his death. He was noted as a peacemaker, and
was often selected as an umpire or arbitrator to settle differences ; and
belligerent parties would end their quarrels by agreeing to leave the
matter in dispute to " Cap'n Chamberlain," as he was familiarly known.
Many pages might be filled with anecdotes concerning him and his
bustling, kind-hearted little wife, but the compiler has not space for them
in this volume. The following from the " Early History of Tolland,"
page 77, in reference to his civil and military services concludes
Appendix J.

" James Chamberlain commanded a company of cavalry one or two
tours of duty during the War of the Revolution. He came to Tolland
from Coventry about the year 1772, and removed to East Windsor
before the year 1 782. While in this town he lived at the extreme south-
east part of it on a farm lying east of the one lately owned by Jesse
West. He was one of the representatives in the General Assembly,
October session, 1775."

Samuel' Allen came from Braintree, Essex county, England. He
was born about the year 1588, in the reign of Queen Elizabeth. He
came to Cambridge, Mass., in 1632; was brother of Col. Matthew Allyn,
of Cambridge, Mass., afterwards of Windsor and Hartford, Conn., and
Dea. Thomas Allyn, of Middletown, Conn. He removed to Connec-
ticut in 1635, and settled in Windsor. He was a juryman March o,
1644, and was by occupation a farmer. From the Windsor, Conn., land
records we have the following:

"January 37, 1640, Sarouel Allen hath granted from the Plantation at Windsor,
Conn. 1st. An house lott being six acres, three roods, ten poles, bounded troin
the rivulet [Farmington River] to the West, by Rodger Ludlow on tlie South ; by
Thomas Marshall on the North; and runs in length to the West into a highway
laid out unto some part of the lot of the said Rodger Ludlow and him the said
Samuel Allen. 3nd. In Plymouth meadow Four acres, bounded by Bray Rossiter
on the North; and a rivulet that runs into the great [Connecticut] River on tlie
South. 3rd. Toward Hartford Nineteen acres more or less, and runs in length to
the Great River to the West one hundred and thirty and four rods, and is bounded
by John Witchfield on the Nortli, and Thomas Marshtield on the South. 4tli.
Over the Great River next to the same, fifteen rods in breadth, in the length to
the East three miles; bounded by Joseph Lummus on the South; .John Hurd ou
the North."

The fourth division was undoubtedly within the present limits of
South Windsor. Samuel Allen was a man of public spirit, and was
honored by his fellow citizens with positions of trust. He d. in Windsor,
Conn., and was buried April 28, 1648, aged 60 years, leaving a widow

and at Latlirop's fight my failuT was slain. My mother was left a widow with
three small children, myself the oldest of them, and not abive five years old.
She was left in a low state, for she had lost the greater part of what she had. I
have taken an account of the most remarkable fits of sickness that I have been
visited with in all my lifetime. My mother tells me of one very sore fit of sick-
ness of malignant fever when I was abcnit three years old, when she did not
expect my life for three weeks together. I was very bad. Another fit of the
chicken pox when I was about eight years old ; another form of sickness when I
was about twelve or thirteen years old, with a pain in my side. I had the measles
when I was about seventeen or eighteen years old; anuther fit of sore sickness
when I was about nineteen years old. In the years when the great fever was
about, I had a long and lingering sickness, twenty-two and three years old. I
had the [illegible] a long sore weak time in the year 1696. I had a fit of sick-
ness at Wethersfield when I was about twenty-six years old, and so continued
weakly sometime. Mr. Mix at Wethersfield admitted me 4 o'clock into the
church August 2d day, 1696, sacrament day.

Those who desire to further trace the descendants of Samuel Allen,'
are referred to Willard S. Allen, Esq., clerk of the Municipal Court in
East Boston, Mass., and compiler of the " Genealogy of the Allen
family " in this country, from which the foregoing is taken. He resides
at 88 Lexington Street, East Boston, Mass.

Concerning the Adams branch of my ancestry on the maternal side,
it may be traced with confidence to Thomas Adams * of Colchester,

* Thomas Adams was undoubtedly descended from " Henry Adams, who emigrated to this
country in 16:W, from Essex county, Eng., and settled in Braintree, Mass., and who was the
ancestor of the patriots, Samuel and John Adams— the latter second President of the United
States. Thomas Adams, son of Henry Adams, of Braintree, Mass.. made treeman May 10, 1643.

Conn., who had, according to the old records there, a family of ten
children, as follows :

1. Sarah, b. Feb. 1, 1717.

2. Abigail, b. March 3, 1718.

3. Thomas, b. Aug. 30, 1719.

4. Elizabeth, b. Nov. 3, 1720.

8. Martha, \ b. March 17, 1727.

9. Lydia, b. July 16, 1729.
10. Elisha, b. Sept. 28, 1732.

Thomas Adams, the eldest son, b. Aug. 30, 1719, was, I conjecture
from the perpetuation of lamily given names (as will appear), the father
of Mary Adams, wife of Moses Allen. The romantic circumstances of his
marriage in 1744, to AJrs. Mary (Hammond) Vallett, of Montville,
Conn., must be briefly narrated. About the year 1736, Jeremiah Vallett,
a worthy sea captain, courted and married Miss Mary Hammond.* She
bore him a son who was named Jeremiah, for his father. One day, some
three years after his marriage, Capt. Vallett, leaving his snug little home
well stored with the necessaries of life, bade his wife an afi'ectionate
farewell, kissed little "Jerry," his only son and heir, and joined his vessel
for a short cruise. The time came around for his promised return, but
no tidings of the ship or its captain. Weeks and months passed by,
and the disconsolate wife anxiously watched ajid waited for some message
from the absent husband and father. At length the report came that the
ship had been lost at sea with all on board, and the " widow Vallett "
put on mourning for the jjrescribed period. At the expiration of the
time, but with no unseemly haste, she accepted the hand of Thomas
Adams, a young and active ship carpenter at that time, and her junior
by a few years only. Her former husband's estate being administered
upon, as any dead man's should be, the newly married couple settled
down to domestic happiness in the comfortable home of " the late " Capt.
Vallett.

Everything was going on swimmingly enough when, to the consterna-
tion of all, Capt. Vallett himself appeared at the door of his former domicil,
and the consequent surprise and astonishment may be imagined better
than described. But under the laws of the colony no wrong had been
done or intended, and a consultation was held without delay, with the
good minister of the place who had tied the second knot, and a magis-
trate of the law as the legal counselor, to effect an amicable arrangement
among the parties so deeply interested. It was agreed that the wife
should herself say which husband she preferred, and she unhesitatingly

* Mary Hammond was, without doubt, a descendant of " Thomas Hammond, of Hingham, Mass.,
1636, who came from Lavenham, Suffollv county, Eng. He was made a freeman March 9, 1637. By
wife Elizabeth, m. (probably in Eugland), Nov. 1^, 1623, who d. before him, brought children

chose the second one, undoubtedly, from her past experience, being
more in favor of a land lubber on shore, than the best sailor man in the
world afloat.

So the Captain graciously accepted the situation, with the stipulation,
however, that young Adams and his wife should depart from that
neighborhood a considerable distance, little " Jerry," of course, to remain
with his father.

Thomas Adams and his wife removed to East Windsor, and settled at
Warehouse Point, on the Connecticut river, following his occupation of
ship carpenter. Subsequently he kept the public house there, and died
about November, 1767, in his 49th year. She married third. Gen. Wol-
cott, and went to reside in Springfield, Mass. ; but not living happily
with her third husband, they mutually consented to a separation, and
she afterwards resided with one of her daughters till she died. She was
a woman above the medium height, and was very fleshy in the later years
of her life. The children and grandchildren were accustomed to go
occasionally and visit," Cousin Jerry " Vallett, and were always cordially
received and entertained with the utmost hospitality. But this intercourse,
I understoood from my informant, was after the worthy Captain's death.

F. N, Allen, Esq., of Hartford, Conn., writes, July 27, 1878, and

gives copy of an entry found on the Probate Records of Hartford county,

as follovps :

"2 Day of February, 1768. It was certified to this Court by Ephraim Terry,
a justice of the peace, that Thomas Adams, a minor, aged sixteen years, son
of Thomas Adams, late of Windsor, deceased, appeared before him on the 1st
day of December last, and made choice of Moses AUyn, of Enfield, to be his
guardian ; which choice the Court accepts. And the said Moses appeared
before the Court, and acknowledged himself bound to the Judge of this Court or
his successor in a recog. of £100 money, that he will faithfully discharge the
trust of guardian to said minor, during his minority, according to law."

Mr. Allen further writes :

"This is all that I could find on the records. The Judge says that probably
there was no will, and that the property of Thomas Adams was all personal and
no inventory was made. We examined the books, thinking there might appear a
copy of a will, or names of legally appointed administrators; but this is all we
could find. It may be concluded, I think, that Thomas Adams, Sr., died about
the latter part of November, 1767, and that this was his only minor child."

xVnother correspondent on the subject, has an impression of hearing
it said that he enlisted in the army when the Revolutionary war com-
menced, was severely wounded, remained in a hospital until convales-
cent, and came home an emaciated cripple. He probably did not
survive many years, and it is believed died unmarried.

(Hammond) [Vallett] Adams, b, in East Windsor, Conn., April 16, 1753,
m. in East Windsor, Jan. 1, 1776, Jonathan Allen, son of Ebenezer and

(See Page 50.)

The Knapps in this country, or at least in the New England States,
are undoubtedly largely descended from Nicholas Knap, who came from
Sussex, Eng., about A. D. 1630, and settled in Watertown, Mass. By
first wife, Elinor, he had : 1. Jonathan, (who was buried Dec. 27, 1631);
2. Timothy, b. Dec. 14, 1632 ; 3. Joshua, b. Jan. 5, 1635; 4. Caleb,
b. Jan. 20, 1637 ; 5. Sarah, b. Jan. 5, 1639 ; 6. Ruth, b. Jan. 6, 1641 ;
7. Hannah, b. March 6, 1643. Removed to Stamford, Conn., and there

had : 8. Moses, b. , 1645 ; 9. Lydia, b. , 1647, His wife

Elinor d. Aug. 16, 1658, and he m. second, March 9, 1659, Mrs. Unity,
widow of Peter Brown, and who had been widow of Clement Buxton.
He d. April, 1670. His will of April 15, 1670, names four sons, Caleb,
Joshua, Moses, Timothy ; and four daughters, Sarah, Hannah, Lydia,
Ruth.

Timothy, second son of Nicholas Knap, was representative for Rye
in 1670, and was living in Greenwich, 1697.

Appendix. '^2'.)

Joshua, thirtl sou of Nicholas Knap, was of Greenwich, 1G70 ; m.
in Stamford, June 9, 1657, Hannah Close ; d. Oct. 27, 1G84, leaving a
good estate by inventory of 1685 ; and children : Hannah, aged 25 ;
Joshua, 22 ; Joseph, 20 ; Ruth, 18 ; Timothy, 16 ; Benjamin, 10 ; Caleb,
7 ; Jonathan, 5. His widow m. John Bowers.

Caleb, fourth son of Nicholas Knap, was of Stamford, 1670, made
his will Dec. 11, 1674, and names wife Hannah, and children, Caleb,
John, Moses, Sanuiel, Sarah and Hannah.

Sarah, eldest daughter of Nicholas Knap, m. Sept. 6, 1667, Peter
Disbrough ; and Ruth, the second daughter, m. Nov. 20, 1667, Joseph
Ferris.

Moses, the youngest son of Nicholas Knaj), was of Greenwich, 1670,
but perhaps only a landholder, and never lived there but at Stamford, as
early as 1667, and there his father gave him land by his will ; m. about
1669, Abigail, daughter of Richard Wescoat. Whether he had children
is not learned, but he was living certainly at Stamford up to 1701, per-
haps later. The name is now generally spelled with two p's.

The compiler has no good reason to doubt that tfo/tu Jymtp, second
son of Caleb and Hannah Knap, and grandson of Nicholas and Elinor
Knap, was the grandfather (or great grandfather) of John Knapp, of
Danbury, Conn., who m. Rvith Gregory, and had :

1. Samuel, b. about 1760, m. Mary Lindsley.

4. Ruth, b. about 1770, m. Baker Bass.

5. John, b. May 13, 1772, m. first, Lucy Merwiu.

0. Chloe, b. about 1774, m. Joseph Mansfield.

7. Levi, b. May 1, 1777, m. Elizabeth Hamilton.

The family of Knapps is traced back for twenty or more generations,
and derive from Roger de Knap, who figured in English history, some-
time in the 12th century ; and descendants in almost every town and
village in the United States are of a direct line, and entitled to the
family coat of arms.

The ancestry of Capt. Azor Barnum, the maternal grandfather of
Anna M. Knapp (see page 50), may be traced to Thomas Barnum, of
Norwalk, Conn., 1662, and before that at Fairfield, and after at Danbury.
He had: Thomas, b. July 9, 1663; John, b. Feb. 24, lOVS; Hannah,
b. Oct. 14, 1680; and Ebenezer, b. May 19, 1682; but six more children
he had, two sons and four daughters, yet at Norwalk are no more re-
corded, nor can I find (says Savage) the names of these six or either of
them, or either of two wives, one of whom outlived him, who d. 1695.

From surviving descendants of Capt. Azor Barnum, however, it is
ascertained that he was a son of Joshua Barnum, and a grandson of
Thomas Barnum, Jr., though no further particulars of names and dates
have been gathered.

The children of Capt. Azor Barnum, by wife Anna Sweet, were at
least seven in number, all b. in South East, Putnam county, N. Y., as
follows :

1. Azor, b. about 1772, m. first, , who d. soon, and he m. second,

Sally Bradley, by whom he bad two daughters, Sally and Julia, It is
not known if any descendants are living.

2. Rebecca, b. about 1774, who m. a Mr. T^ewis, and lived in Pough-
keepsie, N. Y., and had George, Azor, Ann Maria, Sally, and Julia.

DEATHS.

I find no deaths on record until 1854, and learn from old residents,
that the families moved from town many years ago. ..

From later information, I learn, that that part of the township set off
and now called Fall River, contained all of the Clevelands.

H. A. Francis, Townsliip Clerk.

Many other New England towns have records, more or less perfect,
of persons bearing the family name.

The following copy of a letter to the Compiler from Ex-Gov.
Chauncey Fitch Cleveland, of Hampton, Windham county, Conn., de-
serves the space it fills (if for no other reason) for the noble sentiments
therein expressed in reference to honoring the name we bear :

"Hampton, Conn., Dec. 23, 1876.
" H. G. Cleveland, Esq. :

" My Dear Sir — Your very interesting letter of Dec. 8th, is received, and by
it I have learned more of the origin of the Clevelands than 1 knew before. You
'ask who my grandfatlier married, and the names of their children. He mar-
ried a Hyde, of Canterbury. She belonged to a family distinguished for their love
of money. Her Christiau name I have forgotten. They had a family of five
sons and four daughters: Solomon, Silas, Daniel, Isaac and Palmer; Irene, Cla-
rissa, Elizabeth and Polly. Solomon married Hannah Sharp, of Pomfret. They
had six children, all very talented: Palmer, Charles, Solomon; Hannah, Betsey
and Lois. Of the sons, two were lawyers and one was a manufacturer. Of the

350 Appendix.

three daughters, one was the grandmolher of the authoress, Ellen Louise
(Chandler) Moultou. These children are all dead, but all have descendants liv-
ing, excepting Solomon, Avho never married. The names of these cousin's chil-
dren I can not give you.

" Silas, Jr., my father, married Lois Sharp, of Pomfret, sister of Uncle Solo-
mon's wife. They had three sons : Mason, John and Chauncey F., all born in
Hampton.

" Mason married Eliza Perkins, and they have four sons. Mason died twenty
years ago. The sons are: Perkins, unmarried, is clerk in the Comptroller's
Office, New York ; Edward S., a gentleman of leisure, married Caroline BoUes,
of Hartford, Conn., has two sons living, and lias buried one; Henry M., married
Mary Welch, of Brooklyn, Conn., they have four children, two sons and two
daugliters ; George Lee, unmarried, is in a banking house in Hartford. These
my nephews are talented and prosperous.

" My brother John studied medicine, but died at the age of twenty-eight,
unmarried.

" I married for my first wife, Diantha Hovey, of this town, and we raised
two children : John J. and Delia D. My son graduated at Trinity College,
Hartford, and my daughter also graduated in Hartford. John was a lawyer and
clerk of the Federal Courts of this State; never married; died at the age of
twenty-eight. My daughter married Alfred A. Burnham, of Windham, a law-
yer; has been Speaker of House of Representatives, Lieut. Gov., and tour years
"Member of Congress. Delia died at the age of twenty-eight. My children were
very talented, and died universally loved and respected. My wife, Diantha, died
Oct. 29, 1867, and I married .her niece, Helen Litchfield, with whom I am now
living.

" My Uncle Daniel died a bachelor. Palmer died early. Isaac married
Abigail Brown, of Brooklyn. They had three cliildren : two girls and one son.
Nancy died early. Olive married Lester Burnett, and lives In San Francisco.
They have two children. Harvey died three or four years ago and left one son,
who is married and lives in Massachusetts Polly never married. Irene, Eliza-
beth and Clarissa married, and their descendants are scattered about the world.

"Your questions regarding the Senior Edward I can not answer. Had I
thought of it when young, my grandfather could have given me a history of the
Cleveland family, from first to last. My ancestors, as far as I knew them, were
talented, honorable men. But to be perfectly frank with you, my kinsman, I
have been much more anxious to honor the name of Cleveland, than to be hon-
ored by it.

" I was pleased with the picture of your father, a fine looking old gentleman.
I enclose my own to him, taken when 1 was seventy-five, most three years ago.
The Clevelands are a long-lived race.

" With feelings of kinship I subscribe myself,

Your friend and servant,

C. F. CLEVELAND."

So many and urgent have been the inquiries of correspondents, dur-
ing the compilation of this Genealogy, concerning the personal history of
the Compiler, that he has concluded to insert the following biographical
account, taken from Cleave's " Biographical Cyclopedia and Portrait
Gallery of Distinguished Men of Ohio" (Cuyahoga County, page 94),
the author of which, it appears, had the presumption to embrace him in
that category. Making due allowances for the very flattering character
of the sketch, it will no doubt fully answer the purpose of its insertion:

" CLEVELAND, HORACE GILLETTE, merchant, was born January 3d,
1832, at Winchester, Litchfield county, Connecticut, and was the youngest son of
eleven children; living, April, 1875, at Cleveland, Ohio. His father, Oren Cieve-

Appendix. 251

land, being a man of good education and fine literary taste, devoted many years
of his life to teaching, at the same time cultivating a farm. Moses Cleveland,
from whom this branch of the Cleveland family descended, came over from
Ipswich, England, about 1640, and settled in Woburn, Massachusetts; his son
Samuel settled in Connecticut, in 1(593. Oren Cleveland, the father of Horace,
removed his family to Ohio in 1839, and settled in Geauga county. Horace
lived at home, assisting in carrying on the farm, and attending the district
school winters, until he was nineteen, when he entered the store of Kile, Wil-
kins & Co., at Huntsburgh, where he remained as general clerk for about a year.
In 1852 he went lo Cleveland and entered a mercantile college for the purpose
of perfecting himself in book-keeping, and at the end of a few wrecks he had so
tiioroughly mastered the science that he was offered the position of tutor in the
college, but declined, wishing to connect himself more actively with the business
of the cit3^ Immediately on leaving the college he engaged as book-keeper,
with Mr. A. M. Beebe, at that time doing a large and profitable business on Bank
street He remained with Mr. Beebe about a yeai-, and then was employed in the
Forest City Bank, organized under the free banking law of Ohio. At the end of
about a year, he was prostrated by a severe and lingering illness, which necessi-
tated his resignation, much to the regret of the officers of the institution, for his
clerical abilities were of a high order, and joined to a uniformly courteous
deportment, made him a general favorite. After his restoration to health he was
employed for a short time by the Bank of Geauga, at Painesville, where his skill
as an accountant was called into requisition in examining, writing up and
balancing books and accounts that had been neglected for many years. This
service done he returned to Cleveland, and in the spring of 1855, entered the well
known wholesale store of George Worthington, then on the corner of Water and
Superior streets, the present site of the Second National Bank building. He was
the book-keeper and chief clerk of this enterprising and very successful business
house for nearly ten years. These were years of close application, and taxed to
the uttermost a constitution not naturally strong; yet the experience was of great
advantage, for by it he was being educated for the more responsible duties the
years were to bring to him. In the fall of 1804, he formed a copartnership with
Joseph H. Brown, Richard Brown, Thomas Brown, and William Bonnell, of
Youngstown, Ohio, under the name of Cleveland, Brow^n & Co., and opened a
large hardware store, at Nos. 25 to 31 Merwin street, making heavy hardware a
specialty. They imported largely of Swedish iron, English steel, etc. Their
business operations reached an average of two millions i^er annum ; their trade
extended throughout Northern Ohio, Indiana, Michigan and the upper lakes,
and in some lines of goods as far east as Boston. The reputation of the house
for enterprise and honorable dealing was thoroughly established. There have
been several changes of partners during the eleven years of its existence, and in
1875 the firm had seven partners, viz. : H. G. Cleveland, Joseph H. Brown,
Richard Brown, J. O. Brown, William Bonnell, P. M. Hitchcock, and A. M.
Wilcox. In 1870, he was elected president of the Painesville and Youngstown
Railroad, a narrow gauge road running from Fairport, on the lake, to Youngs-
town, built for the special purpose of transporting iron ore from the lake to the
extensive iron works at Youngtow^n, and coal from that region to the lake, and
is under the control of parties engaged in these interests. After about a j^ear he
resigned, on account of the increa.sing demands of his regular business. Exem-
plary in all transactions whether of a public or private character; an active,
earnest man, with a keen insight into the multiplied details of such a life, and
rare judgment to meet them, he is the recognized head of one of Cleveland's
most enterprising and substantial commercial houses. In politics he is a con-
servative Republican, thoroughly patriotic, and heartily supported the war, giv-
ing liberally to all those charitable enterprises that grew out of the struggle.
He was two years in the city council, and rendered valuable services on the
finance committee. He is a communicant in the Episcopal Church, uniting with
the (Grace) Church about ten years ago, and engages actively in its Christian
work, cheerfully giving his time and money to its advancement; indeed, all
worthy charitable objects find in him a friend. He is w^arden of Grace Church,

and one of the standing committee of the diocese. He was married to Miss
Anna Maria Kuapi), of Danbury, Connecticut, in 1853. They have three chil-
dren, two sons and one daughter."

A BURLESQUE ON THE PRIDE OF FAMILY BLOOD,

WRITTEN BY

REV. ^^.A-RON ClLiEVKL AND,

After hearing a conversation on the subject.

Four kinds of blood flow in my veins,

And govern each, in turn, my brains:

From Cleveland, Porter. Sew all, Waters,

I had my blood distinct in quarters.

My parents' parents' names I know.

But I no farther back can go.

Compound on compound from the flood.

Forms now m}' own ancestral blood,

But what my sires of old time were,

I neither wish to know nor care.

Some might be wise, and others tools;

Some might be tyrants, others tools;

Some might be rich, and others lack;

Some might be white, and others black;

No matter what in days of yore,

Since they are known and sung no more.

The name of Cleveland I must wear,

Which some poor foundling first might bear.

Porter, I 'm told, from Scotland came,

A bonny bard of ancient fame;

Sewall, an English derivation,

Perhaps some outcast from the nation ;

Waters, an Irishman, I ween.

Straight roundabout from Aberdeen —

Such is my heterogeneous "blood,"

A motley mixture, bad and good;

Each blood aspires to rule alone,

And each in turn ascends the throne,

And rules till others tear him down.

Each change must twist about my brains.

And move my tongue in difterent strains;

My mental powers are captive led.

And whim or wisdom rules the head.

My character, no one can know.

For none 1 have while things are so,

I'm something, nothing, wise or fool.

As suits the blood which haps to rule.

When Cleveland reigns, I 'm thought a wit.
In making words the funny hit;
In social glee and humorous song,
I charm the fools that round me throng;
But soon, perhaps, this blood is down,
When Porter next may wear the crown.
Now all is calm, discreet, and wise.
Whatever 1 do, whatever advise,

What common sense and wisdom teach,
Direct my actions— form my speech;
The wise and good now with me stay,
While laughing fools keep far away ;
But soon, alas!— this happy reign
Must, tor some other, change again.
Sewall, perhaps, may next bear rule,
I 'm then a philosophic fool !
With Jefterson I correspond.
And soar with him the stars beyond.
While every flbre of the brain
To sense profound I nicely strain.
And then arise beyond the ken
Of common sense and common men.
Wise fools may soar themselves above,
And dream in rapturous spheres they move.
But airy castles must recoil.
And ail their imagt ry despoil.
Thus great was I till Sbwall's crown
About my head came tumbling down.
But who comes next? alas! 'tis Waters
Rushing fearless to head-quarters.
He knows no manners, nor decorum.
But elbows headlong to the forum.
Uncouth and odd, abrupt and bold.
Untaught, unteachable, uncontrolled.
Devoid of wisdom, sense or wit,
Not one thing right he ever hit.
Unless by accident — not skill.
He blundered right, against his will-
Such am I now, no transmigration
Can sink me to a loiver station.
Come, Porter, come, depose this clown.
And once for all assume the crown.
If aught in Sewall's blood you find
Will make your own still more refined.
If found in Cleveland's blood a trait
To aid you in the affairs of state.
Select such parts, but spurn the rest.
Never to rule my brains or breast;
Of Waters' lilood expel the whole.
Let not one drop pollute my soul.
Then rule my head, then rule my heart,
From folly, weakness, wit apart;
With all such qualities I '11 dispense.
And only give me common sense.
