PREFACE. 


Interest  in  a  genealogy  of  the  Alvord  family  antedates  that  of  most 
New  England  families.  In  the  early  "sixties"  William  Alvord  Burke 
of  Lowell,  Mass.,  became  interested  in  the  genealogy  of  the  families 
of  his  father  and  mother  and  published  the  "Burke  and  Alvord  Me- 
morial." (Published  by  Henry  Button  and  Son.  Boston.)  Mr. 
Burke  engaged  John  A.  Boutelle  of  Woburn,  ^lass.,  to  gather  and 
arrange  the  data.  No  attempt  was  made  either  on  the  part  of  the 
Burke  or  the  Alvord  family  to  make  it  a  complete  record.  Only 
those  families  of  Alvords  were  taken  up  that  resided  in  Northamp- 
ton, ]\Iass..  and  vicinit}',  excepting  Mr.  Burke's  own  line.  The  notes 
on  the  origin  of  the  name  and  the  antecedents  in  England  were  of 
practically  no  value. 

Shortly  after  the  publication  of  the  "Burke  and  Alvord  Memorial" 
Coridon  A.  Alvord,  a  prominent  printer  of  New  York  City,  became 
interested  in  the  matter  and  desired  that  a  complete  genealogy  of  the 
Alvord  family  should  be  published.  He  at  once  engaged  ^Nlr.  Bou- 
telle, who  proceeded  to  further  carry  on  his  genealogical  work  on 
the  Alvord  family.  From  1866  until  1868  Mr.  Boutelle  was  appar- 
ently devoting  a  good  share  of  his  time  to  this  work.  Mr.  Alvord 
alone  met  the  full  expense  of  this  undertaking,  which  was  consid- 
erably over  one  thousand  dollars.  When  it  seemed  that  the  work  was 
nearing  completion  and  would  soon  be  in  press,  Mr.  Alvord  met  with 
sad  affliction  which  afifected  his  business  relations,  so  that  he  did  not 
see  his  way  clear  to  carry  out  his  plans  for  publication.  ^Ir.  Boutelle's 
health  also  began  to  fail  about  this  time.  Both  these  men  died  a  few 
years  later  and  the  manuscript  was  packed  away  with  Mr.  Alvord's 
papers.  And  so  it  happened  that  for  twenty-five  years  what  had  been 
gathered  at  great  labor  and  expense  was  laid  away  and  almost  for- 
gotten. We  can  scarcely  overestimate  the  value  of  Mr.  Alvord's 
unselfish  effort  and  everyone  interested  in  the  history  of  this  family 
owes  him  a  debt  of  gratitude.  While  the  facts  and  records  thus  gath- 
ered were  far  from  complete, — surprisingly  so  along  some  lines — , 
the  present  work  could  scarcely  have  been  made  so  thorough  and 


Peeface 

satisfactory  except  for  tlie  aid  that  has  heen  afforded  by  it,  espec- 
ially since  it  preserved  for  us  the  testimony  of  men  of  a  previous 
generation.  It  might  be  added  that  the  present  work  is  about  triple 
the  size  of  the  Alvord-Boutelle  collection. 

About  the  year  1897  my  uncle,  Rev.  Frederick  Alvord,  being  much 
interested  in  the  family  history  and  knowing  of  Coridon  Alvord's 
work,  desired  to  learn  if  the  manuscript  was  still  in  existence.  After 
some  search  he  found  that  George  M.  Alvord,  son  of  Coridon,  was 
living  in  Hartford,  and  he  learned  from  him  that  he  had  the  manu- 
script and  was  willing  to  give  it  to  anyone  who  would  complete  the 
work  and  publish  it.  Thus  the  manuscript  came  into  possession  of 
Rev.  Frederick  Alvord,  who  at  once  began  to  plan  for  its  publication. 
Disappointment  in  securing  financial  support  and  advancing  years 
led  him  reluctantly  to  give  up  the  plan  and  in  the  fall  of  1901  he 
came  to  my  house  and  requested  that  I  take  the  manuscript  with  the 
understanding  that  I  should  complete  and  publish  it  at  some  fav- 
orable time. 

It  was  not  my  intention  to  proceed  at  once  with  the  work,  but  let- 
ters from  various  members  of  the  family  led  me  to  believe  that  the 
time  was  ripe  for  its  publication.  I  therefore  began  to  revise  what 
had  already  been  done  and  to  add  new  matter.  Mr.  Boutelle  had 
been  unable  to  trace  many  families  that  had  migrated  to  New  York 
State  soon  after  the  Revolutionary  War.  Through  the  aid  afforded 
by  the  Pension  Bureau,  Adj.  General's  Office,  U.  S.  Census  Dept., 
County  Clerks  and  Surrogates,  and  the  recollections  of  private  indi- 
viduals of  advanced  years,  these  families  have  been  traced  almost 
without  exception.  I  confidently  believe  that  there  exists  in  the 
country  no  branch  of  the  Alvord  family  whose  annals  do  not  appear 
in  this -volume — I  except  some  isolated  instances  of  individuals 
bearing  the  name,  which  will  be  noted  in  the  appendix.  The  work, 
covering  a  period  of  seven  years,  has  been  accomplished  in  the  midst 
of  the  confining  duties  of  a  teacher's  life,  but  it  has  been  my  aim  to 
neglect  nothing  that  would  add  to  the  interest  and  completeness  of 
the  work. 

Our  relations  to  the  family  in  England  had  been  in  a  large  measure 
worked  out  through  the  personal  efforts  of  John  W.  Alvord  of  Chi- 
cago, who  most  generously  contributed  what  he  had  gathered  at  his 
personal  expense.  This  contribution  was  of  great  value  and  served 
as  a  basis  for  the  later  and  more  complete  researches,  making  it  pos- 


Preface 

sible  to  at  once  strike  at  the  very  heart  of  things.  The  services  of 
C.  A.  Hoppin.  Jr.,  an  experienced  speciaHst  in  searching  Enghsh 
records,  were  engaged  and  he  has  added  materially  to  the  value  of 
the  data  gathered  by  Mr.  Alvord.  I  am  convinced  that  this  part  of 
the  work  has  been  thoroughly  done,  and  that  all  records  have  been 
searched  with  care  in  the  vicinity  of  the  home  of  our  ancestors  in 
England.  The  sum  of  one  hundred  and  fifty  dollars  for  engaging 
the  services  of  Mr.  Hoppin  was  contributed  by  the  following  per- 
sons: John  W.  Alvord  of  Chicago,  111,  John  F.  Alvord  of  Tor- 
rington.  Conn.,  Dean  Alvord  of  Brooklyn,  X.  Y..  Clinton  Alvord 
of  \\'orcester,  Mass.,  E.  C.  Alvord  of  Washburn,  Wis.,  Geo.  B. 
Alvord  of  Torrington,  Conn.,  Andrew  P.  Alvord  of  Xew  York  City, 
Chas.  H.  Alvord  of  Torrington,  Conn.,  Samuel  M.  rVlvord  of  Hart- 
ford, Conn.,  Mrs.  E.  J.  Brown  of  New  York  City,  H.  B.  Alexander 
of  Geneva,  111.  . .  i 

I  desire  also  to  express  my  appreciation  to  all  those  who  have  so> 
readily  given  their  support  and  cooperation  in  this  task.  Letters^ 
have  in  general  been  promptly,  and  always  courteously,  answered, 
even  though  demands  were  repeatedly  made  upon  time  and  patience. 
In  the  Alvord  homes  that  I  have  visited,  whether  in  \'ermont  or  Cal- 
ifornia, the  greatest  hospitalit}'  and  courtesy  have  been  shown  me, 
so  I  have  been  made  to  feel  that  the  tie  of  kinship  is  indeed  very 
strong  in  the  family. 

I  cannot  close  without  acknowledging  my  special  obligation  to 
the  late  Hon.  W'illiam  Alvord  of  San  Francisco,  who  bv  his  gen- 
erous financial  support  and  kindly  words  of  encouragement  mate- 
rially lightened  the  burden  of  the  work.  It  was  my  privilege  to  meet 
Mr.  Alvord  in  San  F>ancisco  in  Sept.,  1904,  and  the  pleasure  he 
•    '  '    in  driving  through  the  city  and  explaining  the  points  of  interest 

^s  only  surpassed  by  my  own  pleasure  in  his  delightful  companion- 
.•<hip.  Three  months  later  his  earthlv  career  was  closed  and  the  sisfht 
of  the  city  that  was  the  pride  of  his  heart,  almost  in  total  ruins,  never 
came  before  his  mortal  vision. 

Rev.  J.  G.  Alford  (now  Canon  Alford)  of  Bristol,  Eng-.,  is  about 
to  publish  pedigrees  of  the  early  Alford  families  in  England  and  he 
has  willingly  contributed  from  his  notes. 

Errors  are  inevitable  in  a  work  of  this  kind,  though  every  effort 
has  been  made  to  avoid  them.  Readers  are  requested  to  send  cor- 
rections to  the  author  where  errors  are  observed.     Such  corrections

Samuel  Morgan  Alvord, 
Hartford,  Conn.,  July,  1908. 

HOW    SHALL   WE    PRONOUNCE   OUR    NAME? 

There  is  clearly  a  lack  of  unformity  on  this  point  and  many 
inquiries  have  come  to  me  from  those  who  are  uncertain  whether 
they  ought  to  give  the  first  syllable  of  the  name  the  sound  that  it  has 
in  .:i/-fred,  or  in  a/-ways.  I  am  convinced  after  careful  inquiry  and 
investigation  that  the  latter  was  the  original  sound  of  the  first  syllable 
of  our  name  and  is  based  on  the  best  authority.  The  transition  to 
the  former  is  a  late  development,  but  in  some  localities,  especially  in 
the  West,  it  has  become  quite  general. 

The  first  s^dlable  of  the  name,  being  derived  from  the  German 
al-dc  (awl-der),  must  obviously  have  had  the  same  sound.  The 
same  German  word  appears  in  the  first  two  syllables  of  Alderman 
and  the  Germanic  sound  is  retained.  Again,  if  we  note  the  pro- 
nunciation of  the  name  in  localities  where  the  family  has  continued 
to  live  from  the  time  of  the  early  settlement,  as  in  Northampton, 
Easthampton  and  South  Hadley,  Mass.,  it  will  be  observed  that  the 
name  is  invariably  pronounced  Awl-vud. 

EXPLANATION    AND  ABBREVL\TI0NS. 

By  the  s}'stem  of  numbering  on  the  margin  one  may  easily  trace 
his  line  back  to  the  progenitor  of  the  family.  Every  child,  born 
Alvord.  is  given  a  number.  H  he  married,  his  name  will  appear  in 
the  succeeding  generation  as  the  head  of  a  family  with  the  same 
number  prefixed. 

The  usual  common  abbreviations  are  used  for  states,  months,  etc. 
also  b.  for  born,  bapt.  for  baptised,  d.  for  died,  mar.  for  married, 
unm.  for  unmarried,  res.  for  residence,  prob.  for  probably,  int.  for 
intention,  i.  e.,  marriage  intention. 


ENGLISH  ALFORDS 


ORIGIN  AND  EARLY  MENTION  OF  THE  NAME  ALFORD 

IN    ENGLISH    RECORDS.     THE    RELATION    OF 

THE    AMERICAN    ALVORD    FAMILY    TO 

THE  ENGLISH  ALFORDS 

In  any  consideration  of  the  earliest  data  regarding  the  Alvord 
family,  it  must  be  remembered  that  the  name  is  identical  with 
Alford*  and  that  all  the  Alvord  family  ancestors  in  England  were 
Alfords  and  not  Alvords.  There  are  a  very  few  instances  of  the 
latter  spelling  in  Co.  Somerset,  Eng.  The  transition  to  Alvord  from 
Alvord  was  a  natural  one  since  f  and  v  are  kindred  letters.  (The 
descendants  of  Alexander  x\lford.  the  progenitor  of  the  American 
Alvord  family  have  consistently  spelled  their  name  A-1-v-o-r-d.  The 
descendants  of  the  other  Alford  immigrants  have  used  the  original 
spelling).  It  therefore  follows  that  in  observing  the  early  occur- 
ences of  the  name  in  English  archives  and  records,  it  is  more  import- 
ant to  note  similarity  to  Alford  than  to  Alvord.  Hence,  there  is 
little  reason  to  believe  that  there  is  a  reference  to  the  Alford  name 
in  the  Domesday  Book  of  William  the  Conqueror  ( 1060) ,  although 
one  Alwand  and  one  Allured  appear,  each  possessed  of  a  hyde  of 
land  (about  100  acres). 

It  has  been  suggested  that  the  name  was  originally  Alfred,  from 
King  Alfred  the  Great,  but  evidence  is  lacking  to  support  such 
a  theory.  Nor  should  it  for  a  moment  be  thought  that  the  name 
is  derived  from  a  place  where  "all  forded"  the  river.  The  name  is 
distinctly  Saxon  in  origin  rather  than  Norman  and  the  true  source  or 
derivation  of  the  name  is  furnished  by  Canon  J.  G.  Alford  of  Bris- 
tol, England. 


*The  following  variations  of  spelling  the  name  occur  on  the  earl\-  New 
England  records :  Alford,  Allford,  Alfred,  Alvard,  Alvart,  Alverd,  Alvert, 
Alved,  Allord,  Alloord,  Allnard,  Alluerd,  Alhurd,  Olford,  Olverd,  Olvord. 


10  AlVORD    GENEALf)GY 

''Aide  was  an  ancient  form  of  old  as  in  alderman.  Aldeford  was 
the  old  ford  across  a  river,  and  Robertus  Dominus  de  Aldford  was 
master,  lord  or  _Q;overnor  of  a  military  station  (Aldford  Castle)  com- 
manding the  old  ford  across  the  Dee  above  Chester.  The  changes 
then  followed : 

Richard  Dom.  de  Aldford 

Radulf  de  Aldford 

Henry  de  Aldford 

Robert  de  Alford  (a  decendant  of  "Bigot"'  who  came  over  with 
A\'illiam  the  Conqueror.     He  was  iiiilcs  [Knight  |   in  1160). 

Thomas  Alford 
Alexander  Alvord. 

(The  above  is  not  to  be  taken  as  a  direct  line  of  ancestry.) 
"This  comes  from  tlie  oldest  pedigree  of  the  name,  and  the  con- 
nection of  the  Somerset  family  with  the  Aldford  Castle  in  Cheshire 
is  early  but  distinct.  The  northern  Al fords  gradually  died  out  or 
sank  in  position,  wliile  the  Somerset  Alfords  became  land-owners 
(though  not  extensive  ones)  about  1560,  and  have  luaintained  their 
position  as  professional  gentlefolk." 

Tlie  following  are  very  early  occurrences  of  the  name : 

•■-Middleton  or  Milton   (CHvedon),  Fol.  48,  No.   114.     Grant  by  William  de 

Clyveden  for  the  good  of  his  soul  and  those  of  his  parents  and  friends  to  the

Ill  1292,  20  Edward  I,  certain  lands  at  Barrington  and  Chillington. 
Co.  Somerset,  were  held  "by  the  service  of  finding  a  man  on  foot 
to  serve  at  the  Ca?tle  of  Aldford,  Cheshire,  in  the  time  of  war." 
(Canon  J.  G.  Alford.) 

In  1327-8,  Edward  I,  the  names  of  Thomas  Alford  and  John 
Alford  appear  under  the  parish  of  Henstridge,  Co.  Somerset.  (Sub- 
sidy Rolls.) 

In  1335-6,  9  Edward  III.  John  Alford  of  Williton.  Co.  Somerset, 
clerk,  made  a  grant  of  a  tenement  at  W^illiton.  (Hist.  3,1.  S.  Com., 
\'ol.  XVI.  p.  74.) 

In  14S4  there  died  an  Allford,  \'icar  of  Cannington,  near  Bridge- 
water.  "There  was  an  inscription  in  Brass  inider  the  Altar  steps" 
to  his  memory,  in  which  he  was  called  "a  Benefactor."  (Collin- 
son's  Somerset.) 

In  1520,  Thomas  Alford,  patron  of  Pilton  :  in  1523.  Henri  Alford 
and  George  Alford.  both  of  the  Hundred  of  Whitely ;  in  1524-5. 
John  Alforde  of  He  Abbotts  and  Jolm  Alford  of  Bickenhall,  all  in 
th^' County  of  Somerset,  are  mentioned. 

The  foregoing  is  sufficient  to  show  the  antiquity  of  the  family 
and  that  it  was  early  established  in  Co.  Somerset,  which  will  be 
shown  to  be  the  locality  from  which  the  progenitors  of  the  Alvord  and 
Alford  families  in  America  came,  i.  e.,  the  descendants  of  Alexander 
and  Benedict  Alford.  Xo  evidence  exists  which  shows  whether  any 
of  these  early  names  are  in  direct  line  of  the  American  families. 

"The  Alfords  of  Somerset  were  landowners  in  the  county,  as  is  still  the 
case,  and  two  members  of  the  family  were  county  magistrates — the  family 
being  one  of  evidently  good  position  in  the  county  for  the  last  three  hun- 
dred years. — but  they  became  known  chiefly  as  a  clerical  family.     A  veritable

family  of  tlic  priesthood,   six   successive  generations,   in    two   diverging  but 
unbroken  lines,  having  taken  Hoh-  Orders."     (Canon  J.  G.  Alford.) 

Henry  Alford.  D.  D.,  late  Dean  of  Canterbnry  was  a  descendant 
of  the  Somerset  Al fords. 

Benedict,  Alexander  and  Joanna  Alford  were  early  settlers  in 
Windsor,  Conn.  From  Alexander  Alford  the  whole  Alvord  family 
of  the  United  States  is  descended,  from  Benedict  it  may  be  estimated 
that  nearly  three-fourths  of  the  Alfords  are  descended  (Their 
descendants  at  present  in  America  are  about  equal).  The  date  of 
their  coming  to  America,  and  the  ship  on  which  they  came  must 
remain  in  obscurity.  It  is  not  unlikely  that  they  were  minors  and 
came  from  England  in  company  with  and  under  the  charge  of 
friends  or  relatives.  This  seems  very  probable  in  the  case  of  Alex- 
ander and  Joanna.  Windsor,  Conn,  was  settled  in  1635  by  a  party 
from  Dorchester.  Mass..  many  of  whom  had  come  to  America  in 
1630  in  the  ship  "]\iary  and  John."  It  is  very  visionary  to  believe 
that  the  Alfords  were  among  these,  for  the  Alford  name  does  not 
appear  on  the  early  Dorchester  records  nor  in  the  list  of  passeiogers 
on  the  "Mary  and  John",  who  have  been  quite  full}'  identified.  The 
earliest  date  that  any  of  the  Windsor  Alford  family  is  mentioned 
in  America  is  May,  1637,  when  "Sarg."  Benedict  Alford  was  a 
soldier  from  W^indsor  in  the  Pequot  Indian  War.  In  1640  the  town 
\  of  Windsor  granted  liim  his  home-lot.  Xo  mention  is  made  of 
Alexander  Alford  in  America  until  1645,  when  the  town  of  Windsor 
granted  him  a  home-lot.  He  received,  however,  a  grant  of  land 
from  the  town  which  bears  no  date,  but  the  circumstances  attending 
the  grant  seem  to  indicate  that  it  was  about  1644.  No  mention  is 
made  of  Joanna  Alford  until  her  marriage  to  Ambrose  Fowler  in 
1646. 

The  kinship  of  these  three  Alford  settlers  is  a  most  important 
factor  in  determining  the  parentage  in  England,  and  it  is  a  most 
fortunate  circumstance  that  this  is  reasonably  well  established.  The 
early  local  historians  and  genealogists  agree  that  Benedict  and  Alex- 
ander Alford  were  brothers  and  that  Joanna  Alford  was  their  sister. 
As  a  further  evidence  of  this  it  may  be  noted  that  the  three  are 
found  together  in  the  same  settlement  in  the  "New  World",  that  the 
dates  of  their  marriages  (1640,  1646.  1646)  and  their  deaths  (1683. 
1687,  1684)  indicate  that  they  were  of  about  the  same  age.  and  that

appearing"  togetlier  as  witnesses  to  deeds.  All  of  which  shows  a 
close  intimacy  between  the  two  families,  more  than  would  be  looked 
for  between  mere  friends.  It  is  also  a  curious,  interesting  and  most 
important  fact  that  each  of  the  three,  independent  of  the  others, 
shows  evidence  of  connection  with  the  parish  of  Whitestaunton  or 
vicinity,  Co.  Somerset,  Eng".,  for  Benedict  in  1639  witnessed  a  deed 
in  Broadway  parish  (four  and  a  half  miles  from  Whitestaunton). 
Alexander  bore  a  Christian  name  which  appears  in  several  genera- 
tions of  Alfords  at  Whitestaunton,  and  Joanna's  baptism  is  recorded 
as  occurring  at  Whitestaunton. 

The  intimate  relationship  of  the  family  with  Co.  Somerset,  White- 
staunton vicinity,  is  shown  from  the  following  deed : 

"  Sept.  3,  1640,  Record  of  the  deed  shewed  in  Court  betwixt  Richard 
Standerwick  and  Nicholas  Nurton. 

Know  all  men  by  these  presents  that  I,  Richard  Standerwick  of  Broadway 
County  of  Somerset,  Old  England  Clothyer,  for  and  in  consideration  of  the 
sum  of  twelve  pounds  lawful  money  of  England,  paid  unto  me  by  Nicholas 
Nurton  of  Waymouth,  in  New  England,  have  granted,  bargained,  and  sola, 
and  by  these  presents  do  freely  grant,  bargain,  and  sell,  unto  the  said  Nicholas 
Nurton,  all  the  cattle  whether  cows,  steers  or  calves,  v/hatsoever  I  have  with 
Mr.  Hall  in  New  England. 

"In  witness  whereof  I  the  said  Richard  Standerwick  have  hereunto  set  my 
hand  and  seal  the  20th  day  of  Feb.  in  the  year  1639.

"Benedict  .A.lford  and  John  Purchase  two  of  these  v.-itnesses  have  taken 
the  oath  before  me  Thomas  Dudley,  Governor  of  ]Mass.  that  they  saw  Richard 
Standerwick  above  named  seal  and  deliver  this  bill  to  the  use  of  the  above

"Their  oaths  were  taken  the  25th  day  of  August,  1640.

Of  these  names,  Richard  Standerwick  is  found  upon  a  tomb  in 
the  Parish  Churchyard  of  Broadway,  Co.  of  Somerset,  England, 
with  the  date  of  his  death.  The  family  was  for  many  generations 
of  this  parish  and  there  are  many  other  Standerwick  tombs  in  this 
church.     The  present  head  of  the  family  John  William  Standerwick 


14  Alvord  Genealogy 

of  Broadway  has  sent  many  interesting^  items  of  the  family  and 
evinced  much  interest  in  this  old  deed.  Peter  Pinny  belonged  to 
an  old  and  established  family  in  1 '.roadway  Parish  and  the  name 
occurs  upon  the  parish  record  many  times.  Some  American 
descendants  of  Humphrey  Pinney  erected  a  brass  to  that  elrect  in 
1891. 

It  seems  impossible  to  determine  whether  the  above  deed  was 
executed  in  England  or  America.  If  in  America,  Richard  Stander- 
wick  must  have  visited  this  country  and  returned  to  England.  If 
executed  in  England,  Benedict  Alford.  after  his  service  in  the 
Pequot  War  in  1637,  must  have  returned  to  England  since  the  date 
of  the  deed  was  1639.  It  is  a  significant  fact  that  the  following  year 
he  married  in  Windsor,  Conn.  Jane  Nurton  (Newton)  and  that 
Nicholas  Nurton  was  the  grantee  in  the  conveyance.  Whatever 
theory  one  may  have  regarding  Benedict  Alford's  return  visit  to 
England,  the  essential  fact  remains  that  he  had  intimate  relations 
with  the  parish  of  Broadway,  Co.  Somerset,  Eng..  four  and  a  half 
miles  from  Whitestaunton.  That  Whitestaunton,  ratlier  than  Broad- 
way, was  the  original  home  of  the  Alfords  who  settled  in  Windsor, 
Conn.,  is  evidenced  by  the  fact  that  it  h.ad  been  inhabited  by  Alford 
families  certainly  for  a  hundred  years  previous  to  the  settlement  at 
AVindsor,  Conn.,  while  no  Alfor.ls  are  known  to  have  lived  in  Broad- 
way.  The  strongest  proof  that  Wdiitestaunton  was  the  original 
home  rests  in  the  fact  that  there  is  a  record  of  the  baptism  of 
Joanna  Alford  there:  "8  Dec.  1622,  Joanna  Alford  daughter  of 
Thomas  Alford  of  Whitestaunton  parish,  was  baptised."  The 
Whitestaunton  parish  register  previous  to  1692  is  lost  and  the 
record  of  this  baptism  is  found  in  the  bishop's  transcript  at  Wells. 
The  baptisms  of  Benedict  and  Alexander  Alford  do  not  appear  in 
the  transcript,  which  is  incomplete  and  fragmentary.  It  has,  how- 
ever, the  record  of  the  baptism  of  "Johannes,  son  of  Thomas  Alfor^i. 
9t;h  of  Oct.  1608."  That  the  above  Joanna  Alford  is  the  same  tha: 
is  later  found  in  Windsor,  Conn,  is  not  worthy  of  doubt,  for  she 
married  in  Windsor,  Ambrose  Fowler,  May  6,  1646,  wdiich  would 
make  her  age  twenty-four,  a  most  probable  marriage  age. 

Since  the  father  of  Joanna  Alford  was  Thomas,  it  follows  that  he 
was  the  father  of  Benedict  and  Alexander  also.  No  birth  or  bap- 
tismal record  of  Benedict  exists  in  the  parishes  of  Whitestaunton 
vicinity,  but  at  Bridport,  about  fifteen  miles  from  Whitestaunton, 
the  parish  register  contains  the  following:     "1627  Oct.  L^/A.  Alcx-

aiidcr  soil  of  Thomas  Alford  was  baptised."  There  are  the  best 
reasons  for  believing-  that  this  is  Alexander  Alford,  the  brother  of 
Benedict  and  Joanna,  and  the  progenitor  of  the  Alvord  family  of  the 
United  States.  It  is  not  hard  to  imagine  Thomas  Alford  a  temporary 
resident  of  Bridport.  a  flourishing  town  near  the  coast.  His  name 
does  not  appear  in  the  subsidy  rolls  of  Somerset  and  Dorset  at  that 
period,  which  indicates  that  he  was  not  a  holder  or  lessee  of  any 
land  or  goods  subject  to  taxation,  but  an  employee,  preferably  with 
respect  to  merchandise,  in  which  capacity  he  may  well  be  thought 
as  residing  temporarily  at  Bridport.  While  it  is  true  that  there  was 
an  Alford  family  resident  at  Bridport,  distinct  from  the  Whitestaun- 
ton  family,  yet  the  pedigree  of  that  family  has  been  so  carefully 
wrought  out  that  it  is  evident  that  Thomas  Alford  and  his  son  Alex- 
ander are  not  of  that  family.  There  is  nothing  so  far  as  discovered 
in  the  age  of  Alexander  Alford  to  preclude  his  being  the  one  bap- 
tised at  Bridport  in  1627.  His  marriage  occurred  in  1646  which 
would  make  him  nineteen  at  that  time,  somewhat  younger  than  the 
average  marriage  age,  but  it  may  be  observed  that  two  of  his  own 
children  married  at  the  age  of  nineteen.  The  birth  of  a  child  to 
him  in  1671  would  also  indicate  that  he  and  his  wife  vvcre  born  at 
least  not  much  earlier  than  1627.  In  his  will,  drawn  in  1686,  he 
speaks  of  himself  as  "v/ell-stricken  in  years."  If  born  and  baptised 
in  1627  he  would  have  been  in  his  sixtieth  year,  when  a  man  may 
well  refer  to  himself  as  "well  stricken  in  years,"  and  furthermore 
it  is  not  infrequent  that  such  expressions  are  used  in  wills  as  mere 
matters  of  form.  TJiis  zcork  then  will  accept  the  baptism  of  Alex- 
ander Alford  of  Bridport  in  1627  as  that  of  tJie  progenitor  of  the 
Alvords  of  the  United  States. 

At  Ashill,  eight  miles  from  W'hitestaunton,  there  is  on  record  the 
marriage  of  Thomas  Alford  and  Joan  Hawkins,  May  11,  1618,  and 
it  is  believed  that  these  are  the  parents  of  Benedict,  Alexander 
and  Joanna  Alford,  since  the  parishes  are  almost  adjacent,  the  date 
of  the  marriage  conforms,  and  a  mother  would  naturally  give  her 
own  name  to  her  daughter.  It  will  also  be  remembered  that  one 
John  Hawkins  vv-as  a  co-witness  with  Benedict  Alford  in  the  Stander- 
wick  deed. 

The  following  burial  is  recorded  at  Whitestaunton :  "1636,  27 
]May  Joane  Alford,  widow,  was  buried."  A  thoughful  considera- 
tion of  this  entry  will  suggest  a  theory  regarding  the  departure  of 
the  brothers  and  sister  from  Enerland  and  their  settlement  in  Amer- 


16  Alvord  Genealogy 

ica,  since  it  may  be  presumed  that  the  above  refers  to  the  mother  of 
th'e  settlers.  If  this  be  true,  the  father,  Thomas  Alvord,  had  died 
previous  to  1636,  and  the  children,  Benedict,  Alexander  and  Joanna, 
were  left  orphans  at  an  early  age ;  Alexander  at  the  age  of  nine, 
Joanna  fourteen  and  Benedict  a  few  years  older.  As  their  home 
was  now  broken  up,  the  children  must  seek  employment  and  oppor- 
tunities of  self-support,  hence  they  were  drawn  into  the  tide  of 
immigration  which  was  pouring  into  the  "New  World,"  perhaps  in 
company  with  friends  or  relatives,  or  it  is  not  improbable  that  Bene- 
dict, being  the  eldest,  migrated  alone  in  1636,  soon  after  his  mother's 
death.  The  following  year  he  was  in  Windsor,  Conn.,  and  served 
in  the  Pequot  War.  He  returned  to  England  in  1639  when  he  wit- 
nessed the  deed  in  Broadway  parish,  and  late  the  same  year  or  the 
following  year  brought  his  younger  brother  and  sister  back  to 
America  with  him.  This  theory  is  of  course  altogether  imaginative, 
but  it  is  certainly  plausible. 

It  is  more  difficult  to  make  connection  with  the  generations  pre- 
vious to  Thomas  Alford.  No  record  of  the  baptism  of  Thomas 
Alford  is  found  on  the  parish  registers  of  the  Whitestaunton  vicin- 
ity, nor  is  the  name  mentioned  in  any  Alford  wills  of  his  time  and 
locality.  A  most  exhaustive  search  has  been  made  without  definite 
results. 

The  following  references  to  the  Whitestaunton  Alford  family 
prior  to  1650  have  been  gathered  from  parish  registers,  wills  and 
subsidy  rolls : 

1530.  John  .'Alford  a  witness  to  a  Whitestaunton,  CouRt}-  Somerset  will  of 
John  Batley   (or  Bayley),  4th  of  July,   1530. 

1538.  Wm.  Alford  a  witness  to  a  will  of  Thomas  Sylvestre  of  Hinton. 
St.  George,  Co.  Somerset. 

1550.  Alexander    Alford    mentioned    as    living   at    Whitestaunton. 

1558.  Rev.  Alexander  Alford  mentioned  as  living  at  Whitestaunton. 

1576.  Will  of  Alexander  Alford  of  Whitestaunton  "Gierke"  22nd  of  De- 
cember. 

1577.  Will  of  widow  Agnes  Alford  of  Whitestaunton,  children:  Mary, 
Alice,    Elinor,    Salaman,    William.   Joha    Barthobmevv    and    Bridget. 

1578.  Agnes  Alvord,  wife  of  Alexander  Alford,  of  Whitestaunton,  buried 
at  West  jMoncton,  Go.  Somerset. 

1586.     George  Alford  born  Whitestaunton. 

1606.  John  Alford  and  Phylis  Gibbs  were  married  at  Whitestaunton 
June  10. 

1608.  Johannes  Alford  son  of  Thomas  Alford  of  Whitestaunton  baptised 
9th  Oct. 


English  Ancestry  17 

1612.  John  Alford  mentioned  as  curate  pro  tempore  at  Bickenhall  (a 
parish  which  adjoins  Broadway  Parish  on  the  North). 

1615.  John  Alford  "clerk"'  buried  at  Bickenhall  12th  of  Nov.  (Bishop's 
transcript). 

1622.  Joanna  Alford  daughter  of  Thomas  Alford  of  Whitestaunton  bap- 
tised December  8th. 

1628,  1629,  1636.     Richard. Alford  in  the  subsidy  rolls  of  Whitestaunton. 

1636.     27  May,  Joane  Alford,  widow,  was  buried. 

1650.  Richard  Alford  and  Alexander  Alford  appear  in  the  Royalist  Com- 
position Rolls  as  being  residents  at  Whitestaunton,  Co.  Somerset  and  being 
described  as  yeomen. 

1657.  Will  of  Richard  Alford  of  Whitestaunton  "yeoman"  mentions  wife 
Mary,  house  at  Whitestaunton.  my  son  Alexander  Alford,  to  Christian,  wife 
of  mj'  son  Alexander,  my  house  at  Chard,  Co.  Somerset. 

It  is  probable  that  among  the  above  names  are  the  ancestors  of 
Thomas  Alvord  and  his  children,  and  it  is  very  probable  that  the 
line  runs  to  Rev.  Alexander  x\lford,  who  died  in  1576.  If  this  is  true, 
there  is  surely  one  generation  intervening  between  him  and  Thomas 
Alford.  The  names  of  the  four  sons  of  Rev.  Alexander  Alford  are 
mentioned  in  the  will  of  his  wife  Agnes,  viz.,  Salaman,  \Mlliam, 
John  and  Bartholomew,  but  since  no  records  of  their  marriages  or 
children  have  been  discovered  it  cannot  be  determined  which,  if  any, 
was  the  father  of  Thomas. 

It  is  most  unfortunate  that  the  manor  court  rolls  of  Whitestaun- 
ton are  missing.  All  other  records  of  the  period  of  the  exodus  to 
America,  relating  to  Whitestaunton  and  neighboring  parishes,  have 
been  thoroughly  searched.  These  include  the  parish  registers. 
Bishop's  transcript,  wills  at  Somerset  House,  London,  the  Taunton 
Probate  Registry,  the  Blandford  Probate  Registry  and  the  Preroga- 
tive Court  of  the  Archbishop  of  Canterbury,  the  Subsidy  Rolls  and 
Deposition,  and  Proceedings  in  Chancery. 

The  Xurton  (X'ewton)  family,  into  which  Benedict  Alford  mar- 
ried, was  an  established  family  of  Broadway,  Co.  Somerset.  The 
Hawkins  family,  from  which  came  the  wife  of  Thomas  x\lford,  was 
numerous,  and  is  found  both  at  Ashill  and  Broadway.  The  Brett 
family  have  been  lords  of  the  manor  in  Whitestaunton  for  many 
generations  and  in  the  16th  and  17th  centuries  the  name  Alexander 
was  a  favorite  name  in  that  family  (letter  from  Rector  at  White- 
staunton). The  custom  of  naming  children  for  the  lord  of  the 
manor  is  an  ancient  one  and  may  account  for  the  use  of  the  name 
in  the  Alford  familv  at  that  time  and  in  that  locality. 


18  Alvord  Genealogy 

The  conclusion  then,  briefly  stated,  is  that  Benedict,  Alexander 
and  Joanna  Alford  were  brothers  and  sister  and  that  they  came  to 
America  probably  as  minors  and  perhaps  as  orphans  about  the  years 
1636-40.  They  were  the  children  of  Thomas  Alford  of  Whitestaun- 
ton  parish,  Co.  Somerset,  Eng.,  where  Joanna  was  baptised  Dec.  8, 
1622.  No  record  of  Benedict's  birth  or  baptism  has  been  discovered. 
Alexander  was  baptised  probably  at  Bridport,  Eng.,  Oct.  15,  1627. 
The  mother  of  these  children  is  presumed  to  be  Joanna  Hawkins, 
who  married  Thomas  Alvord  at  Ashill,  Co.  Somerset,  May  11,  1618. 
Thomas  Alford's  parentage  is  unknown,  but  he  is  possibly  a  grand- 
son of  Rev.  Alexander  Alford  of  Whitestaunton  and  a  son  of  Sala- 
man,  William,  John  or  Bartholomew  Alford,  who  were  the  sons  of 
the  Rev.  Alexander  Alford.

DESCRIPTION  OF  COUNTY  OF  SOMERSET,  ENGLAND. 
(Furnished  by  John  W.   Alvord,   Chicago.) 

In  the  south-western  part  of  England,  well  out  on  that  ever-narrowing 
peninsula  which  terminates  at  Lands  End,  He  three  of  the  fairest  counties  of 
England,  Somerset,  Dorset  and  Devon.  Here  as  everywhere  in  that  land  of 
alternating  sunlight  and  showers  are  those  vivid  and  tender  shades  of  green 
which  we  know  of  only  in  the  early  spring;  here  are  the  hedgerows,  white 
and  smooth  roads  and  flocks  of  sheep;  the  square  church  tower  peeping  up 


S'^^  Alvord  Genealogy 

among  the  stately  old  trees;  a  great  park,  all  finished  a  hundred  years  ago 
and  glistening  in  the  never-ending  showers  that  sweep  in  from  the  broad 
Atlantic. 

There  are  bleak  uplands,  it  is  true,  which  only  add  by  contrast  to  the  fertile 
valleys  below.  There  are  moorlands,  long  since  drained  and  cultivated  until 
the  name  belies  them.  There  are  little  villages  everywhere  nestled  among  the 
shrubbery  as  though  they  grew  there,  and  here  and  there  are  the  stately 
houses  of  the  country  gentleman  and  lords  of  the  manor  with  their  deer-parks, 
avenues  ana  drives. 

The  vale  of  Somerset  stretches  thirty  miles  eastward  from  the  Bristol 
Channel  to  the  inland  cliffs  of  Dorset  and  Wiltshire.  Isolated  in  the  center 
of  its  lovely  fertile  plain  stands  a  curious  cone  shaped  hill  crowned  with  an 
ancient  tower.  This  is  the  famous  Tor  of  Glastonbury,  the  conspicuous 
center  of  the  most  stirring  legends  of  the  religion  and  history  of  the  English 
race.  Upon  its  summit  the  pagan  kindled  his  sacred  fires.  In  the  green  hills 
bordering  the  lovely  valley  the  relics  of  the  cavemen  are  unearthed.  At  the 
foot  of  the  cone  the  clustered  abodes  of  a  colony  of  lake  dwellers  are  still 
extant.  At  its  foot  King  Arthur  lived  and  died,  and  here  before  the  Romans 
fought  their  way  into  the  west  of  Britain  and  five  centuries  before  Augustine 
established  at  Canterbury  the  seat  of  the  English  Christian  Church,  pilgrims 
came  from  Jerusalem  and  built  a  little  chapel  of  withe  and  wattle  and  dedi- 
cated it  to  the  service  of  our  Lord.  Legend  says  that  here  came  Joseph  of 
Arimathea  in  the  year  63  with  eleven  disciples,  sent  to  Britain  by  Phillip.  Be 
this  as  it  may,  a  church  was  built  here  within  one  hundred  years  after  the 
death  of  Christ,  which  was  long  venerated  as  the  first  Christian  church  in 
Britain  and  a  most  splendid  monastry  grew  up  about  it,  and  there  gathered 
with  the  march  of  years  a  wealth  of  lore  and  legend  greater  in  interest  and 
mystery  than  England  ever  knew.  To  this  place  King  Arthur,  "deeply 
smiten  through  the  helm"  passed  from  Chancelot  in  the  dusky  barge  whose 
decks  "were  dense  with  stately  forms,  black  stoled,  black  hooded  like  a  dream" 
to  heal  him  of  his  grievous  wound.  From  the  peaks  of  the  capricious  Tor 
you  gaze  upon 

"The  island  valley  of  Avelon" 
"Where  falls  not  hail  or  rain  or  any  snow" 
"Nor  ever  wind  blows  loudly ;  Init  it  is" 
"Deep-meadowed,    happy,    fair   with   orchard   law-ns" 
"And  bowery  hollows  crowned  with  summer  sea" 

(Tennyson). 

Here  is  King  Aruthur's  country  and  the  heart  of  it,  and  here  upon  this  hill 
was  found  his  tomb  in  the  time  of  Henry  II. 

Stand  upon  the  top  of  the  Tor  and  you  are  more  than  five  hundred  feet 
above  the  plain  which  was  the  fighting  ground  of  the  continental  legions, 
which  one  after  another,  century  after  century,  infested  Britain,  Roman, 
Saxon,  Dane  and  Norman,  and  in  the  fullness  of  time  left  here  the  English- 
man ;  from  the  Mendip  Hills  on  the  North  to  the  Poldew  and  Quantock  hills 
on  the  south,  from  the  Bristol  Channel  and  the  Cheddar  Cliffts  westw-ard  to 
the  escarpments  of  Wiltshire  on  the  East.  Many  of  the  most  momentous 
battles  were  fought  here  by  the  men  who  made  England.     All   is  quiet  now

and  peaceful.  The  land  is  one  of  orchard  lawns  and  green  fields,  of  pictur- 
esque farm  dwellings  and  manor  houses.  Xo  great  city  is  anywhere  near. 
You  can  see  the  small  delightful  cathedral  town  of  Wells  as  you  stand  on 
the  top  of  the  Tor  by  St.  Michael's  tower.  The  brown  moss  of  the  most 
perfectly  preserved  of  England's  churches  shows  through  the  soft  blue  here 
against  the  distant  Mendips.  Below  you  lies  Glastonbury,  shaped  like  a  cross 
and  hidden  among  the  trees.  The  little  river  Brue.  lazily  slipping  down 
from  the  forest  of  Selwood,  strikes  the  foot  of  the  Tor  and  glides  away  past 
the  town,  crossing  the  long  plain  until  it  drops  mto  Bristol  Channel,  having 
made  part  of  its  journey  through  dykes, — for  all  the  world  like  a  Dutch  canal 
with  its  bed  above  the  adjacent  fields. 

Looking  eastward  across  the  plain  to  the  high  lands  of  Welkshire,  you 
will  see  King  Alfred's  tower,  a  modern  memorial,  commanding  the  site  where 
Alfred  routed  the  Danes;  and  within  sight  of  that  tower  at  the  junction  of 
the  rivers  Parret  and  Tona,  King  Alfred  rallied  his  nobles,  and  built  the 
fastness  which  proved  to  be  the  turning  point  in  his  fortunes.  It  was  near 
here  that  A.lfred  sought  shelter  in  a  herdsman's  cottage  and  scandalized  the 
goodu-ife  by  letting  her  cakes  burn  upon  the  hearth. 

Here  lies  old  Isle  Chester,  chief  city  of  the  ancient  Belgae,  who  migrated 
hither  out  of  Gaul  about  300  B.  C.  These  Celtic  people — and  mayhap  from 
them  w^e  have  some  Celtic  blood — drove  out  the  aborigines  and  established 
colonies.  To  them  is  credited  the  great  wall  or  dyke  to  protect  them  from, 
the  foe.  Portions  of  this  dj'ke  called  the  Wansdyke  are  to  be  seen  at  the 
present  time  along  Marlborough  Downs  terminating  in  Porteshead.  ^ 

The  savage  and  furious  contentions  of  these  Belgae  with  those  whose 
soil  they  had  usurped,  lasted  until  the  arrival  of  the  Romans,  when  they  in 
turn  became  the  oppressed.  ]\Iany  of  the  neighboring  hills  are  crowned  v.ith 
the  remains  of  Roman  camps  and  Roman  roads  are  still  in  use.  The  main 
road  of  this  country  is  the  old  Roman  Fossway,  running  through  Illminster 
and  another  Roman  road  in  use  runs  through  Taunton. 

In  the  5th  century,  on  the  decline  of  the  Roman  power,  the  country  became 
subject  to  the  Saxons  and  formed  a  part  of  the  kingdom  of  Wessex.  Here 
King  Ina  began  his  reign  over  the  West  Saxons,  68S  A.  D.  and  built  the  col- 
lege at  Wells,  dedicated  to  God  and  St.  Andrew.  It  was  King  Ina  who  fought 
with  the  Welsh  king,  Gerest,  and  made  Taunton  a  border  fortress  (710) 
(722).  Later  than  this  the  incursions  of  the  Danes  kept  the  country  in  con- 
tinual alarm,  and  in  the  reign  of  King  Alfred  the\-  carried  their  ravages  to 
Somerset  and  reduced  that  king  to  his  most  dire  extremity  until  from  Athel- 
ney  Isle  he  sallied  forth  and  won  his  great  victory  at  Edington. 

Then  came  the  Xorman  Conquest  and  the  capture  of  Exeter  (1058). 
Perkin  Warbeck,  who  seized  and  abandoned  Taunton  in  1497,  had  his  short 
sway,  while  in  the  revolution  of  1643-45  the  people  of  this  district  proved 
again  that  they  were  not  noted  for  their  attachment  to  roj^alty.  The  great 
mass  of  people,  especially  those  in  the  towns,  took  the  Parliament  side  in  the 
great  conflict,  and  Taunton  made  its  heroiv_  defence  under  Blake  until  relieved 
by  Fairfax.  The  continttance  of  strong  Puritan  feeling  in  the  district  was 
evidenced  by  the  support  given  to  the  Duke  of  Monmouth  fort}'  years  later 
in  the  rebellion  of  1685,  and  the  last  battle  fought  on  English  soil  saw  the 
Duke  defeated  at  Sedgmore  within  full  sight  of  old  Tor  hill.

Somersetshire  was  the  scene  of  the  cruel  Jeffries  bloody  assizes,  and  after 
the  battle  of  Sedgmore  "Kirks  Lambs"  desolated  this  whole  section.  It  was 
from  a  people  that  had  passed  through  such  experiences  as  these  and  amid 
such  scenes  as  these  that  the  great  migration  to  the  New  World  commenced 
in  1630  and  continued  for  twenty  years,  and  from  this  soil  which  reared  stern 
souls  our  forefathers  sprang. 

REV.  GROSVENOR  BARTLETT'S  VISIT  TO  BROADWAY, 

MAY  21,  1896.     (This  gentleman  searched  the  parish 
registers  of  this  vicinity.) 

"I  left  Corfe  Castle  last  Thursday  21st  of  May,  and  with  combined  train 
and  bicycle  locomotion  reached  Broadway  at  noon,  having  searched  Donyatt 
Registers,  parish  books  and  tombstones  on  my  road.  The  Rector  of  Broad- 
way gave  me  lunch  and  then  lent  me  the  keys  of  the  Registers  and  allowed 
me  to  find  what  I  could,  but  alas,  the  former  Rector  had  lost  all  the  Registers 
previous  to  1678.  I  copied  all  the  ancient  tombs  in  church  and  churchyard. 
There  are  three  large  square  Standerwick  tombs  in  the  churchyard.  I  enclose 
all  the  writing  on  them.  I  found  one  Nurton  entry  on  the  Register,  viz  James 
Xurton  of  this  parish  was  interred  1681  "according  to  the  Act"  (that  is 
buried  in  woolen  clothes  according  to  the  act  of  Parliament). 

"Broadway  church  is  possessed  of  a  handsome  tower  and  the  country  there 
is  very  lovely.  On  the  outskirts  of  the  Ancient  Forest  of  Castle  Neroche 
there  is  a  nice  old  house  where  the  Standerwicks  formerly  resided." 

"After  lunch  and  work  at  Broadway  church  I  went  on  to  Buckland,  St. 
Mary  near  Whitestaunton,  thinking  I  might  find  some  Alford  entries  on 
account  of  its  nearness  to  both  Broadway  and  Whitestaunton.  There  the 
Rector  was  most  kind.  He  had  made  a  complete  copy  as  well  as  an  index 
of  his  registers  dating  back  to  1538,  and  in  a  few  minutes  he  was  able  to  tell 
me  that  the  name  of  Alford  did  not  occur  at  all. 

"I  went  on  the  next  day  to  the  neighborhood  of  Swell,  for  I  felt  that  it 
might  happen  that  Benedict  and  Alexander  hailed  from  thence.  The  Regis- 
ters at  Swell  are  perfect  and  in  splendid  order,  well  wrapped  up  by  a  careful! 
Rector.  They  commence  in  1559  and  though  I  found  several  Alford  entries, 
and  the  name  spelled  as  you  spell  it  too,  viz  Alvord,  yet  I  failed  to  find  the 
names  of  Alexander  and  Benedict.  Then  I  searched  Fivehead  Registers,  but 
found  they  were  all  lost  previous  to  1650."

(Reprinted  from  the  Burke  and  Alvord  Memorial.) 

William  Alvord  came  from  London,  Eng.,  about  the  year  1634 
and  settled  in  Salem,  Mass.  He  was  a  member  of  Skinner's  com- 
pany. His  wife,  Mary,  joined  the  church  in  1636,  and  had  Nathan- 
iel baptized  in  1637;  Samuel,  Feb.  17,  1639;  Bethia,  June  26,  1642. 
"He  had  also  Elisha,  Mary  and  Elizabeth."  Savage  says:  "He 
had  favored  the  party  of  Wheelwright  and,  under  the  name  of  Mr. 
Alfoot  on  the  record  in  1637,  was  disarmed  by  the  General  Court, 
and  thereupon  removed  for  a  season  to  New  Haven,  and  there  had 
probably  two  or  more  of  his  children  born  before  1654."  He  was  of 
Boston,  ]\Iarch  4,  1650-1.  According  to  the  following  deposition  he 
was  born  about  the  year  1603 : 

"The  deposition  Mr.  William  Allford,  aged  50  years,  or  thereabouts  saith 
that  that  he  the  said  William  Allford,  with  Joseph  Allsop  of  New  Haven, 
being  att  the  Monhatoes  about  16  dale  sence ;  and  descoursing  with  the  pr'sent 
Gou'r  of  the  Monhatoes  that  some  had  a  hand  in  the  plott  conserning  the 
Indians  cutting  of  the  English;  hee  said  hee  had  noe  hand  in  any  such  plott; 
but  confessed  that  in  case  any  English  should  come  against  him,  then  hee 
would  strengthen  himselfe  with  the  hidians  as  much  as  hee  could;  further 
the  said  Gou'r  said  that  if  the  English  would  quarrell  with  him  they  needed 
not  to  do  it  on  the  Indian  account,  but  upon  the  quarrell  between  the  states  of 
England  and  holland ; 

"This  Testimony  next  above  written  was  given  in  upon  oath  by  Mr.  William 
Alford  att  Stamford,  the  9th  of  May  1653.

(Plymouth   Col.   Rec.) 

He  returned  to  Mass.,  settled  in  Boston,  was  a  merchant,  and  by 
another  wife,  Ann,  had  John,  born  Nov.  29,  1658,  who  died  aged  two 
months.     He  died  Jan.,  1677.

"John  ffoot  of  Bristol  merchant  now  in  London  late  resident  in  Boston 
X.  E.  constitutes  Benjamin  Alford  of  Boston  aforesaid  Merchant  his  true  and 
lawfull  Attorney.     May  10.  1675.     ( (Vol.  4:120.) 

There  are  two  documents  upon  Court  files  where  Benjamin  Alford, 
Oct.  31,  1676,  as  an  attorney  of  John  Sweeting  of  London,  gave  his 
deposition  with  regard  to  the  payment  of  a  bill  to  John  Shepherd, 
master  of  the  "Thomas  and  Mary." 

Benjamin  Alford  was  a  merchant  of  Boston,  and  was  a  member  of

the  artillery  compaii}'  in  1671.  Savag^e  says  that  he  married  Mary, 
daughter  of  James  Richards,  Esq.,  of  Hartford,  and  had  Mary,  born 
Sept.  15,  bapt.  Oct.  14,  1683;  John,  bapt.  (at  third  or  O.  S.  church), 
July  5,  1685;  Benjamin,  born  Oct.  5,  bapt.  Oct.  10,  1686;  Judith, 
bapt.  Sept.  16,  1688 ;  James,  born  July  19,  bapt.  July  26,  1691  ;  Sarah, 
born  March  17,  bapt.  March  18,  1694;  Thomas,  whose  date  is  not 
found. 

He  had  been  a  prisoner  in  Barbary  and  after  his  return  was  a  man 
of  importance  in  Boston.  His  will  of  Feb.  19,  1697,  (probated  thir- 
teen years  after)  provides  for  his  children  and  widow.  His  widow 
with  his  brother-in-law,  Benj.  Davis,  he  makes  executors. 

His  eldest  son.  Hon.  Col.  John  Alford  of  Charleston,  was  a 
member  of  the  Ancient  and  Honorable  Artillery  Company  in  1714; 
v.-as  one  of  the  King's  Counselors  and  was  distinguished  as  founder 
of  the  Alford  Prof,  of  Nat.  Theology  at  Harvard. 

Col.  John  Alford,  in  his  will,  left  a  large  sum  for  promoting  the 
Gospel  among  the  Indians  in  North  America.  (Patent  for  Ply- 
mouth, Vol.  2.) 

"Hon.  John  Alford  married  Margaret,  daughter  of  Col.  Thomas 
Savage,  merchant  of  Boston,  Nov.  12.  1713,  and  died  in  Charles- 
town,  Sept.,  1761,  aged  76,  highly  respected  for  his  moral  worth  and 
left  no  children." 

There  was  a  Henry  Alvord,  or  Alford,  very  early  in  New  Eng- 
land, according  to  Plymouth  Colony  Records. 

April  20,  1679,  John  Alford  of  Salem,  seaman,  conveyed  his  new 
dw^elling  house  in  Salem  to  Edmond  Batter  of  Salem,  merchant.  He 
was  in  Salem  in  1668.  Col.  Remain  Alford  of  New  London  died 
Aug.  12,  1709,  aged  63. 

There  was  a  John  Alford,  justice  in  Dorchester  Co.,  Md.,  in  1681. 
John  Alvord  was  a  soldier  in  the  Esopus,  N.  Y.,  in  1687,  (N.  Y.  Col. 
Rec).  A  few  later  immigrants,  especially  in  the  South,  have 
added  to  the  Alford  population.

years  later  sold  it  to  Cornelius  Gillett.  Recently  it  has  been  known 
as  the  Oliver  S.  Gillett  place.  In  1661  he  moved  to  Northampton, 
Mass.

Alexander  Alvord  in  Northampton,  Mass.,  lived  near  the  meadow 
where  the  Phillip's  place  now  is.  Later  he  probabh^  resided  on  Haw- 
ley St.,  near  John  Broughton. 

The  following  references  to  Alexander  Alvord  have  been  gathered 
from  various  records : 

"Alexander  Alluard"  signed  a  petition  against  imposts  Xov.  4, 
1668;  signed  a  petition  to  Mass.  legislature  to  form  a  society  at 
Northfield,  May  31,  1671  ;  was  admitted  to  the  Northampton  church

took  the  oath  of  allegiance  at  Northampton,  i\Iass,  Feb.  8,  1678 ;  was 
admitted  as  freeman  in  1684.  A  local  historian  speaks  of  him  as  an 
"early  settler  and  possessed  of  large  means  for  the  times." 

Mrs.  Mary  (Vore)  Alvord  was  one  of  the  original  members  of  the 
First  Church  of  Northampton,  Mass.  She  signed  the  church  coven- 
ant ,1661,  4th,  18.  Her  father.  Richard  Vore  settled  in  Dorchester, 
Mass.,  probably  in  1630  with  Rev.  John  \¥arham.  He  was  a  mem- 
ber of  Mr.  Warham's  church  in  Dorchester  and  was  one  of  the  com- 
pany that  migrated  to  Windsor  in  1635.  Rev.  John  Warham  re- 
quested the  privilege  of  building  a  small  house  upon  his  land  for 
Mary  Jones : 

"Whereas  Richard  Vore  upon  Mr.  John  Warham's  request,  formerlj-  gave 
him  hberty  to  build  a  Httle  house  upon  his  land  joining  the  north  end  of  his 
(Vore's)  then  and  now  dwelling  house  for  the  use  of  his  kinswoman  ]\Iary 
Jones  to  dwell  in  during  her  life,  and  at  her  death  to  give  it  to  the  said

"Abigail  Alvord,  wife  to  John  Alvord  of  Northampton,  being  presented  by 
the  Grand  Jury,  to  this  Court,   for  wearing  silk  contrary  to  law  &  it  being 
found  the  viitnesses  were  sometimes  mistaken,  she  was  dismissed."' 
Court  Rec.  ^^larch  27,  1676.) 

There  were  twenty-two  others  brought  into  court  at  the  same  time. 
They  were  charged  with  "wearing  silk  in  a  flaunting  manner,  wear- 
insf  loner  hair  and  other  extravagances  contrary  to  honest  and  sober 
order  and  demeanor  not  becoming  a  wilderness  state,  at  least  the 
profession  of  Christianity  and  religion." 

She  conveyed  her  property  to  her  nephew  Joseph  Alvord.

Signed  Jan.  8,  1727-8." 

Mrs.  Alvord  died  at  the  house  of  Joseph  Alvord.  The  town  rec- 
ords say :  "1756.  Aug.  26.  Died,  the  aged  Wido  Abigail  Alvord,  said 
to  be  about  one  hundred  and  two  years,  said  to  have  been  born  in  the 
same  year  this  town  was  first  planted." 

Savage  says:  "She  was  the  oldest  person  that  ever  died  in  Xorth- 
ampton  ;  but  exact  truth,  after  the  correction  of  old  style,  makes  her 
age  101  years,  4  nionths  and  11  days."  She  attended  church  in  three 
meeting  houses,  throttgh  the  ministry  of  Mr.  Stoddard,  Mr.  Edwards

Oath  of  allegiance  was  given  to  Thomas  Alvord  at  Northampton, 
Mass.,  Feb.  8,  1678.  Among  the  early  grants  of  land  upon  the  town 
records  of  Northampton,  Mass.,  the  town  grants  to  Thomas  Alvord: 

'Tn  prim-s  a  home  Lot  which  is  thus  bounded;  on  the  south  on  Air.  Haw- 
leys  land  being  in  length  26  rods,  bounded  on  the  commons,  on  the  north

this  end  16  rods  and  5y2  feet,  being  four  acres  more  or  less." 

Thomas  Alvord  was  a  tailor.  His  homestead  No.  26  was  first  as-

Thomas  Alvord  sold  the  homestead,  she,  with  her  husband,  Deliv- 
erance Bridgeman,  relinquished  their  riglit.  Her  father,  John  Tay- 
lor, was  killed  in  the  present  limits  of  Easthampton,  while  going  to

\  Thomas   Alvord   fought  under   Capt.   \Vm.   Turner   in   the   Falls 

Fight,  May  19,  1676.  For  this  service  his  son  Thomas,  as  his  eldest 
male  heir,  received  from  the  General  Court  of  Mass.  in  1734  a  grant 
of  land  in  Fallstown  (now  Bernardston),  Mass. — See  Thomas  Al- 
vord No.  14. 

The  following  incident  was  a  tradition  in  the  family  of  John  Al- 
vord, father  of  Coridon  A.  Alvord,  and  is  taken  from  a  letter,  writ- 
ten by  David  S  .Alvord  to  his  brother  and  he  gives  the  story  as  his 
mother  remembered  it : 

"In  the  attack  upon  Deerheld  he  (Thomas  Alvord)  was  a  Capt.  and  acted 
very  heroically  in  defending  against  the  Indians.  After  the  garrison  was 
nearly  famished  for  water,  he  went  out  to  a  well  where  he  was  much  exposed 
and  continued  to  draw  water  for  the  garrison  until  the  well-pole  w-as  shot 
off  above  his  hands."     (The  foregoing  may  refer  to  Thomas,  Jr.) 

An  inventory  of  the  estate  of  Thomas  Alvord  was  presented  by 
Lt.  John  Taylor,  Aug.  10,  1688.  It  shows  a  house  and  land  valued  at 
50£,  pasture  land  over  the  river  18i,  2  cows,  horse,  swine,  shears, 
pressing-iron,  lamp,  smoothing  iron,  saddle  and  bridle,  curtains  and 
bedding,  slice  tongs,  hand  irons,  gun,  cutlass,  hoes,  axes,  pewter 
and  brass,  4  chairs  and  cushion,  table,  chest,  boxes,  warming-pan, 
grid-iron,  candlesticks,  etc. 

Samuel  King,  who  had  married  the  widow,  prayed  the  court  that 
he  might  have  use  of  the  whole  estate,  that  he  might  bring  up  the 
children.  Estate  was  valued  at  155£.  He  was  granted  the  use  of  the 
real  estate  and  — £  in  moveables  for  bringing  up  the  three  children.

price  of  the  land  or  forfeit  the  same.  Later  grants  were  also  on 
west  side  of  the  river.  With  his  wife,  ]\Iary,  he  joined  the  first

1729.  Thomas  Strong.  Mrs.  Alvord's  father,  ha'l  moved  to  Dur- 
ham, Conn.,  previous  to  this  time,  vvhich  undoubtedly  led  Thomas 
Alvord  to  the  neighboring  locality. 

While  living  in  Xorthampton,  Thomas  Alvord  was  a  garison 
"soulder"  in  the  Meadow  Fight  at  Deerfield  in  Feb.,  1703-4.  being 
one  of  the  eight  men  to  go  from  Xorthampton  to  aid  the  inhabitants

Xorthampton  to  sustain  the  commissioners  in  the  matter  of  chang- 
ing the  course  of  Mill  River.  He  owned  the  house,  barn  and  hat- 
ter's shop  which  about  1730  went  into  possession  of  Dr.  Ebr.  Hunt.

John  Alvord,  "saddler."  v.^as  elected  constable  at  Northampton, 
Mass..  in  1729.  and  was  one  of  the  first  assessors  of  South  Precinct, 
Hadley,  Mar.  12.  1733.  serving  with  John  Taylor  and  Samuel  Smith. 
His  name  appears  as  head  of  a  family  at  South  Hadley.  1731-40. 

At  a  meeting  of  the  Precinct  (afterwards  South  Hadley)  10  August  1733, 
voted:  "that  the  day  for  the  ordination  of  Grindell  Rawson  shall  be  the  third 
da\-  of  October  next  with  the  concurrence  of  Mr.  Grindell  Rawson." 

"Voted  that  Ebenezer  Moody,  Nathan-11  White.  John  Alverd,  Dan-11 
Nash  and  John  Smith  be  a  comitte  to  send  for  ye  assistance  of  such  min- 
isters and  messengers  of  Churches  as  they  shall  think  best  for  ye  ordina- 
tion."    etc. 

In  1741  trouble  arose  between  Rev.  Rawson  and  his  church.  John 
Alvord  was  one  of  a  committee  of  fifteen  appointed  to  force  him 
to  cease  to  occupy  the  pulpit.  Rawson  persisted  and  was  dragged 
from  the  ptilpit  by  the  committee  or  young  men  employed  by  them 
for  this  purpose. 

In  an  interview  with  Sylvester  Judd,  Gardner  Preston,  b.  1748, 
said  that  he  remembered  John  Alvord. 

"His  house  was  west  of  the  road,  north  of  Brewster's — Brewster  is  said 
to  have  lived  on  the  bank  of  the  Conn.  River  below  the  ferry,  some  distance, 
a  recent  settler — .  He  did  not  remember  his  son  John.  Job  and  Gad  were 
clever  men.  Gideon  lived  by  the  ferry.  Elijah  lived  in  second  house  north 
of  Rod.  Smith's.     He  was  a  trader,  went  to  Greenfield,  failed." 

Gideon  Alvord,  son  of  John,  had  the  small  pox  in  the  army  in  1757.  He 
camie  home  with  his  stockings  not  cleaned.  His  mother  washed  them  and 
took  the  disease,  when  the  small  pox  first  appeared,  many  of  her  children 
and  grandchildren,  and  others  who  had  been  exposed,  v%-ere  inoculated  and 
John  Alvord's  house  becam.e  a  pest  house.  Drs.  Croucli  and  Kellogg  of 
Hadley  took  care  of  the  patients  from  October  28  imtil  December  28,  1757. 
John  Alvord  (prob.  John,  Jr.,)  is  said  to  have  died  of  tliis  disease,  and  prob- 
ably John  Alvord  himself."     (Hist,  of  Hadley.) 

His  grave  stone  is  still  (1908)  standing  at  So.  Hadley.

Elizabeth  (Alvord)  Bartlett  is  named  in  the  settlement  of  her 
father's  estate  as  having  received  her  share  previous  to  his  death. 

"Preserved  Bartlett's  wife,  sister  of  Benjamin  Alvord,  was  crazy  some 
3'ears,  was  confmed  at  times  by  chains,  escaped  from  house  one  day  and 
could  not  be  found.  An  alarm  was  made,  the  drums  beat  and  the  bell  rung. 
She  was  found  dead  in  ]\lil!  River,  down  below  the  pastures,  July  18,  1768. 
Her  husband  took  her  with  him  to  collect  a  ta.x  of  Bernard  Bartlett.  Ber- 
nard's wife,  who  v,-as  reputed  to  be  a  vvitch,  complained  about  the  tax  and 
told  him  he  would  be  sorry  for  collecting  it.  He  believed  that  his  wife's 
insanity  was  caused  by  Bernard's  wife's  witchery  and  his  son  Benjamin 
believed  the  same."     (Judd  Manuscript.) 

Preserved  Bartlett's  grandfather,  Robert  Bartlett.  was  killed  by 
the  Indians  at  Northampton,  Mass.,  Mar.  14,  1676.

Benjamin  Alvord,  Sr..  \va.s  named  in  tlie  settlement  of  his  father's 
estate  as  eldest  son  and  was  allotted  a  dotible  share.  He  was  a 
weaver  and  learned  the  trade  at  Hadley,  IVIass.  His  weavinj^^ 
acconnts  begin  in  1713.  He  resided  on  Market  street  after  1743, 
His  previous  residence  was  at  the  end  of  the  plain  next  the  Conn. 
River  near  the  river  brido;e  and  he  tended  ferry.  He  was  chosen 
constable  in  1743,  1744,  1747,  and  1749.  He  was  a  great  reader  and 
had  many  books  on  divinity. 

Benjamin  Alvord  served  as  drummer  in  Father  Rale's  Indian 
War,  1722-25,  and  was  also  in  the  "Seven  Year's  War,"  1775.  He 
was  especially  famous  as  an  "express  rider"  and  served  as  such  in 
three  wars.  He  was  very  active  in  the  Indian  troubles  1722-26, 
riding  between  Albany  and  Northampton,  and  Northampton  and 
Boston.  Joseph  Hawley  speaks  of  his  coming  from  Albany  as  a 
"rapid  transit"  post  rider  and  being  ordered  on  to  Boston.  Hawley. 
in  June,  1724,  thought  it  "much  boldness  for  one  to  travel  alone" 
but  Alvord  was  not  afraid.  He  made  the  trip  from  Albany  to  North- 
ampton in  one  day.  The  pay  for  the  trip  from  Conn.  River  to  Bos- 
ton and  back  was  3  f ,  sometimes  3  £  6s.  His  services  were  in  great 
demand  and  he  was  employed  as  a  messenger  in  town  affairs  in  1743. 

"Mr.  Benjamin  Alvord  died  in  his  chair  suddenly  and  alone  Oct. 
22,  1772."     (Northampton  Town  Rec.) 

Medad  Edwards  told  Sylvester  Judd  that  Nathaniel  and  Noah 
Edwards  were  greedy  of  gain  and  buried  their  father-in-law  alive  to 
get  his  property.     jNIr.  Judd  did  not  believe  this  to  be  true.

Joseph  Alvord  resided  in  Northampton.  }klass.  on  the  estate  he 
bought  of  Joseph  Clesson.  situated  on  the  road  to  Hadley  about  one 
half  mile  from  the  bridge  across  the  Conn.  River. 

Abstract  of  a  deed  now  in  possession  of  a  descendant : 

"Joseph  Clesson  lately  of  Northampton,  now  of  Deerfield,  husbandman, 
in  consideration  of  the  sum  of  two  hundred  and  si.xty-five  pounds  paid  by 
Joseph  Alvord,  March  26,  1730,"  convcjed,  "a  certain  homelot  in  the  town  of 
Hampton  wt  a  dwelling  house  and  barn  standing  thereon  which  homelot  is 
bound  as  follows,  viz. :  upon  the  highway  northerly  and  upon  Ebenezer 
Wright's  Jun.  lot,  or  the  heirs  of  Judali  Wright,  deceased,  lot ;  southerly 
upon  the  highway  eastwardly  and  on  the  land  of  Moses  Lyman  and  Gideon 
Lyman,  westwardly,  which  lot  contains  live  acres  and  a  half  or  there  about 
be  it  more  or  less. 

Joseph  Clesson.'' 

On  the  above  place  Joseph  Alvord  lived  and  died  ;  here  all  his 
children  were  born ;  here  resided  his  son,  Medad  Alvord,  also  his 
grand-daughter,  Einiice  Alvord,  wdio  married  Luther  Hunt,  and  their 
son  J\ledad  Hunt;  being  in  the  family  for  131  years.  Mr.  Joseph 
Alvord  here  carried  on  the  business  of  a  weaver  and  employed  a 
number  of  hands.  His  shop  was  east  of  his  house,  nearer  to  the 
road  and  almost  on  the  corner  of  a  street.  The  old  house  which  he 
bought  of  Joseph  Clesson,  lie  tore  down,  and  erected  a  large  sub- 
stantial mansion  instead  of  it.  His  aimt  Abigail,  widow  of  John 
Alvord  (see  wife  of  John  Alvord  No.  3),  resided  with  him  in  the 
old  house  and  a  room  in  the  new  house  was  furnished  in  a  superior 
manner  for  her. 

Tradition  says  that  Mr.  Joseph  Alvord  was  so  faithful,  kind,  and 
attentive  to  the  comforts  of  his  aunt  in  her  advanced  age  in  life 
(over  101  years)  that  it  would  be  an  unrighteous  act  for  any  one 
to  use  him  unkindly. 

Nathan  Clarke  of  Northampton  purchased  this  homestead  about 
1865  and  moved  the  house  a  few  rods  in  the  rear,  on  a  cross  street 
and  erected  a  new  building,  partly  on  the  same  foundation.

you  come  to  the  beautiful  site,  once  the  place  of  residence  of  Joseph 
Alvord  and  some  of  his  descendants,  afterwards  the  residence  of

Nathaniel  Hitchcock,  the  pioneer  who  came  with  his  young  wife  the 
year  before  and  made  his  home  in  a  hut  by  the  mountains. 

"Sweet  counsel  did  these  two  neighbors  take  respecting  the  field

that  summer  after  his  neighbor's  arrival,  take  his  ax  and  go  over

Thomas  Alvord  went  with  his  father  to  Middletown,  Conn.,  about 
1725.  As  his  wife  was  of  Guilford,  Conn.,  and  his  first  child  was  bap- 
tized at  Durham,  Conn.,  it  would  appear  that  he  lived  near  the  Dur- 
ham-Guilford border.  In  Litchfield,  Conn.,  deeds  he  is  called  of 
Guilford  in  1734.  and  of  Litchfield  in  1737.  He  returned  to  ]Middle-

named  as  one  of  the  original  members  of  the  parish  of  Middlefield.

as  follows:  "Buried.  Mar.  16,  1786.  Thomas  Alvord,  aged  76,

sold  his  farm  and  moved  to  Torrington,  Conn.,  where  he  and  his 
wife  were  members  of  the  church  in  1760. 

Administration  on  the  estate  of  Aaron  Alvord  was  granted  Mar.  3. 
1767.     (Litchfield  Prob.  Rec.) 

The  History  of  Goshen,  Conn.,  states  that  William  Alvord  was  the 
first  miller  in  the  town.  The  mill  was  located  ten  rods  north  of  the 
road  leading  from  East  St.  to  Middle  St.  over  Pie  Hill.  It  also 
states  that  William  Alvord's  daughter  married  Chauncey  Beach.  It 
is  therefore  probably  that  the  above  reference  is  to  Aaron  Alvord. 

There  is  a  tradition  that  the  three  sons,  Bela,  Selah  and  Aaron, 
went  to  N.  Y.  State  soon  after  the  Revolution,  one  to  New  York 
City,  another  to  Central  N.  Y.,  uncertain  where  the  other  settled.

Job  Alvord  and  Thomas  Goodman  were  appointed  fence-viewers 
at  So.  Hadley  in  1753.  Job  Alvord  served  in  the  war  1755-59,  in 
1757  as  ensign  under  Capt.  John  Burk,  and  was  appointed  lieutenant 
in  1759.     He  was  present  at  the  surrender  of  Ft.  Wm.  Flenry. 

Job  Alvord  of  So.  Hadley  constructed  a  new  boat  landing  about 
two  miles  up  the  river  at  the  foot  of  Willimansett  Rapids.  In  1760- 
61  he  built  a  house  near  the  country  road  and  a  wharf  on  the  river 
and  was  licensed  to  keep  an  inn  in  1761.  His  solitary  house  at  Wil- 
lamanset  was  standing  in  1860  and  it  was  two  miles  from  inhabitants 
north  and  south.  There  was  much  business  at  this  landing  and  Al- 
vord's house  did  not  lack  customers. 

"May  3,  1763,  Job  Alvord  of  Springfield,  in  consideration  of  ten  pounds," 
conveyed  "to  Azariah  Alvord  of  Springfield  one  moity  or  half  part  in  com- 
mon &  undivided  land  in  one  messuage,  viz. :  one  mansion  house,  barn,  & 
four  acres  of  land  lying  at  a  place  called  Willamanseep  in  Springfield." 

When  Job  Alvord  was  serving  his  country  in  the  Revolutionary 
War,  his  wife  wrote  to  him  to  bring  her  some  green  tea, — of  which 
old  ladies  were  very  fond.  He  replied  that  good  green  tea  cost  $16 
a  pound. 

He  died  of  small  pox  and  was  buried  in  the  night.  His  son  Justin 
was  administrator  of  his  estate.

on  the  estate  of  ]Moses  White  of  South  Hadley  in  1783,  from  which 
it  may  be  inferred  that  his  v/ife  Lydia  White  belonged  to  this  family, 
though  the  records  fail  to  disclose  it.  With  his  wife  Mary  he  deeded 
land  in  South  Hadley  in  1789,  and  must  have  moved  to  Brookfield,

of  that  town,  during  that  year,  as  well  as  ten  years  later,  when  he  and

to  him  Apr.  12,  1761.  This  was  probably  a  part  of  the  first  Thomas

Joseph  Alvord  was  a  lame  man,  having  a  club  foot.  About  the 
year  1795  the  family  removed  to  New  York  State  and  settled  first 
near  Hamilton,  Madison  Co.,  N.  Y.,  afterwards  near  Rochester, 
where  they  were  residing  during  the  War  of  1812.  (There  may  be 
a  confusion  in  the  above  with  his  son  Joseph.) 

Caleb  Chapin,  father  of  Submit,  was  in  the  French  and  Indian 
War  with  his  two  sons,  Joel  and  Hezekiah,  and  was  killed  by  the  In- 
dians Sept.  8,  1755,  in  the  battle  of  Bloody  Pond,  near  Lake  George. 
He  said  to  his  sons:  "Boys,  they  are  too  hard  for  us,  you  must  run. 
I  am  wounded  and  cannot."    They  never  saw  him  alive  again.

tears,  would  say  how  much  he  regretted  the  manner  of  spending  his  life  in 
his  younger  days.  He  was  uncommonly  gifted  in  prayer.  I  not  only  loved 
to  hear  him  talk  but  I  loved  to  hear  him  pray."

"Eliab  says  he  lived  with  his  grandfather,  Nathaniel  Strong,  from  1762

but  petulant  and  fretful  at  times  ;  this  was  called  Stebbins  blood.  His  wife 
was  always  mild  and  calm.  He  had  a  pasture  over  Rocky  Hill  brook, — part 
of  it  this  side  of  the  brook.  Eliab  used  to  go  to  this  pasture  with  cows,  etc., 
was  once  thrown  ofif  the  horse  in  crossing  Mill  River  at  west  end,  and  drawn 
out  by  the  horse  by  holding  to  the  bridle.  Col.  Pomeroy  and  others  were  at

sugar  on  or  near  Joel  Bartlett's  farm.  Alvord  went  with  them  to  bring  back 
the  horses,  three  or  four.  No  house  then  on  the  Norwich  road,  but  a  small 
one  of  Timo.  Pomeroy's  (where  Ephraim  Wright  lived)  and  Ebenezer 
French's  (where  Chapman  lives.)  Samuel  Kingsley  had  a  barn  up  but  no 
house.  When  they  left  Norwich  road,  had  no  road — went  near  where  the 
present  road  is  by  Dea.  Edward's.  Men  carried  out  provisions  and  lived  in 
a  shelter.  Noah  Strong  and  William  Bartlett  lived  on  the  other  road.  Sugar 
place  so  near  that  they  called  to  N.  Strong  who  was  at  work  on  his  land. 

"Norwich  road  had  the  appearance  of  consideral)lc  travel,  but  was  only  a 
path  in  the  woods.  Buck,  he  says,  settled  in  Chestertield  in  1762.  There  was 
a  severe  winter  in  1762-3,  and  a  man  who  came  through  from  Pittslield  on 
snow  shoes,  brought  word  that  Buck  was  suffering  for  provisions.  Elijah 
Rust,  Noah  Strong,  Joel  Strong  and  Joseph  Allen  volunteered  and  carried 
out  provisions  to  Buck  on  snow  shoes.  If  Alvord  is  correct,  Noah  Strong 
did  not  remove  to  Westhampton  until  after  the  winter  of  1762-3."  (Judd 
Manuscript.)

Zebadiah  Alvord  settled  in  Pascommuck  (Easthampton)  in  1751 
or  1752.  He  lived  at  Fort  Plain  many  years  and  afterwards  moved 
to  the  northern  part  of  the  town,  residing  on  the  main  road  to  North- 
ampton, one  half  a  mile  east  of  the  Northampton  line.  In  1759  Zeba- 
biah  Alvord  was  appointed  field-driver  or  hayward  in  Northampton. 
He  is  accorded  two  weeks  service  in  the  Revolutionary  War  in  1777. 
At  the  organization  of  the  first  church  in  Easthampton,  Mass.,  Nov. 
17,  1785,  Zebadiah  Alvord  was  an  original  member.  Previous  to  his 
settling  in  Easthampton  he  resided  in  Northampton  on  Prospect  St. 
He  was  a  farmer.  His  will  is  on  record,  dated  May  11,  1802,  in 
which  he  mentions  his  children  ;  Timothy,  Elisha,  Phineas,  Esther, 
Rebecca,  Noadiah  "if  living"  and  Caleb  . 

Mr.  and  Mrs.  Zebadiah  Alvord  were  buried  in  the  cemetery  oppo- 
site Williston  Seminary.  She  has  a  grave  stone.  Infants  of  Zeba- 
diah Alvord  died  at  Northampton,  Oct.  17,  1756  and  Nov.  7,  1758. 

Mrs.  Zebadiah  Alvord's  father,  Elisha  Searl,  was  captured  by  the 
Indians  in  Queen  Anne's  War.  The  following  account  of  his  expe- 
riences was  given  by  his  grandson  as  he  remembered  his  grand- 
father relate  the  story.     Recorded  in  Sylvester  Judd's  Mss. : 

"When  Pascommuck  was  taken  by  the  Indians  in  1704  they  took  a  little 
brother  of  his  (Elisha  Searl's)  from  the  bed  by  the  feet  and  dashed  his 
brains  out  as  if  he  had  been  a  cat.  They  gathered  the  children  they  had 
taken  together  and  knocked  them  in  the  head  one  after  another.  Elisha 
Searl  ran  and  the  Indians  finding  him  pretty  smart  and  active  concluded  to 

save   him.      Elisha    Searl's   mother   was   carried   to   a   place   called   's 

island  in  Broad  brook,  near  or  on  Brewer's  farm,  where  the  Indians  finding 
she  was  pregnant  and  thinking  she  would  not  be  able  to  march  to  Canada, 
tomxahawked  her.  She  recovered.  Searl  lived  in  Canada  until  he  imbibed 
all  the  habits  and  notions  of  the  French  and  Indians.  He  came  down  (to 
Northampton)  to  get  the  property  that  was  left  him  from  his  father's  estate 
and  not  to  stay.  An  Indian  came  with  him  for  a  guide.  Many  persons  took 
an  interest  in  him  and  used  their  influence  to  get  him  to  stay.  They  kept 
him  away  from  the  Indian,  gave  him  presents,  got  a  commission  for  him  etc. 
They  finally  succeeded.  The  Indian,  after  remaining  some  months,  returned. 
He    (Elisha   Searl)    had  engaged  to  marry  a  French  girl   in   Canada.     Her

name  was  Katreen,  as  he  pronounced  it.     He  retained  some  regard  for  her 
and  named  one  of  his  daughters  Catherine  in  remembrance  of  her." 

Elisha  Searl  was  baptised  in  Canada  by  a  priest  and  given  the 
name  Michael.  He  often  mentioned  accompanying  the  Indians  on  a 
long  march  to  the  Miss.  River.

individual  in  possession  of  the  estate,  who  had  purchased  it  of  a 
third  person  and  who  would  not  give  it  up  without  litigation.  Al- 
though it  was  very  valuable  and  it  was  believed  that  the  occupant's 
title  was  not  good,  yet  nothing  was  obtained  from  it.

Eliphaz  Alvord  and  wife  were  received  into  full  communion  to  the 
church  in  East  Hampton,  Conn.,  Nov.  7,  1765.  He  settled  in  East 
Hampton  on  a  part  of  the  homestead  of  his  father,  which  he  and 
his  wife  Esther  sold  Sept.  11,  1770  to  Nehemiah  Gates. 

After  his  removal  to  Winchester,  Conn.,  Eliphaz  Alvord  was  one 
of  the  leading  men  in  town  afifairs,  holding  the  office  of  town  clerk 
and  justice  of  peace  for  many  years.  He  was  also  a  deacon  in  the 
First  Church.  He  represented  his  town  in  the  Conn.  Legislature 
eleven  terms. 

"His  first  trip  to  Winchester  was  made  alone,  following  the  marked  trees  to 
the  land  he  had  purchased.  He  cleared  and  planted  a  garden  and  built  a  log 
house  in  three  weeks  and  then  returned  and  removed  his  family  and  effects 
to  his  new  home  carrying  one  child  in  his  arms  and  another  behind  him  on  a 
horse,  while  his  wife  rode  another  horse  with  an  infant  in  her  arms,  their 
effects  being  drav.^n  on  an  ox-cart. 

"He  afterwards  built  opposite  his  first  log  house  on  the  west  side  of  the 
dugway  road,  a  red  lean-to  house  a  little  north  of  the  line  of  the  road  west- 
erly to  the  center,  in  which  he  resided  during  his  remaining  life.  Both 
houses  have  long  since  disappeared  and  no  new  structures  have  taken  their 
places.  Eliphaz  was  chosen  town  clerk  at  the  organization  of  the  town  in 
1771  and  continued  to  hold  the  office  v/ith  the  exception  of  two  years  until 
his  voluntary  resignation  in  1819.  His  records  are  a  model  of  accuracy  and 
penmanship,  and  a  vote  of  thanks  for  his  faithful  services  was  well  merited. 

"In  1779  he  was  appointed  the  first  justice  of  the  peace  in  the  town  and 
held  the  office  until  disqualified  by  age,  discharging  the  duties  with  ability 
and  rectitude.  If  in  doubt  as  to  the  law  in  any  case,  before  trial  he  almost 
invariably  went  to  Litchfield  and  consulted  Judge  Reve  or  some  other  able 
counsel  before  deciding  the  points.  His  cases  were  invariably  recorded  at 
large  with  great  precision  and  in  perfect  legal  form.  His  records  give  a 
better  insight  into  the  prevailing  habits,  customs  and  vices  of  the  day  than 
can  be  obtained  from  any  other  source."     (Boyd's  Annals  of  Winchester.) 

Rev.  War  Service  :  "Eliphaz  Alvord  was  a  sergeant  in  Peter  Corbin's  Co. 
in  the  17th  Conn.  Reg.,  mustered  Oct.  6,  dismissed  Oct.  27,  1777."  (D.  A.  R.

David  Alvord  is  credited  with  nine  half  days  training  in  Torring- 
ton in  1774.  He  bought  land  in  Winchester,  Conn.,  in  1776  and  is 
called  of  Torrington.  On  the  lot  he  bought  in  Winchester  was  after- 
wards erected  the  parsonage  of  Rev.  Booge.  After  1785  he  lived 
on  the  Leonard  Hurlburt  place.  About  the  3'ear  1800  he  moved  to 
Neversink,  Sullivan  Co.,  N.  Y.,  and  later  to  Vernon,  Oneida  Co., 
where  he  settled  on  Baschard's  location. 

It  is  said  that  David  Alvord  was  a  carpenter,  a  man  of  strong  men- 
tal powers,  but  an  indifferent  financier.  He  therefore  died  a  poor 
man.

that  his  grandfather  was  a  Revolutionary  soldier,  and  Theodore's

*In    a    Chatham    deed    Hannah    Alvord    calls    Giles    Hall    her   grandfather. 
Giles  had  four  sons.     Investigation  shows  that  either  Hamlin  John  or  Richard 
Hall  were  the  parents  of  Hannah. 

Ruel  Alvord  was  born  in  the  house  which  his  father  probably  built 
in  East  Hampton,  Conn.  When  Ruel  was  thirteen  years  old  the 
shipbuilding  industry  began  in  earnest  and  continued  for  forty  years 
to  be  the  leading  industry  of  the  town.  Here  Ruel  gained  a  taste 
for  the  sea  which  later  led  him  to  the  life  of  a  sailor.  We  can  make 
a  good  guess  at  the  date  of  his  first  voyage.  His  mother  when  a 
young  woman  twenty  years  old,  had  a  book  given  her,  not  com- 
mon possession  in  those  days.  In  this  book  is  inscribed:  "Eliza- 
beth Spencer's  Book,  July  15,  1737."  again,  "Seth  Alvord,  his  Wife's 
Book,  Betsy  Spencer,  Anno  Domini,  1733";  again,  "Elizabeth  All- 
bred,  her  Sermon  Book";  again,  "Reuel  Alvord,  his  Book,  13th, 
1772,  given  by  his  Mother  for  a  Remembrance  of  her."  At  this 
time  Ruel  was  twenty-two  years  of  age.  We  know  he  was  a  sailor 
though  it  may  not  have  been  his  first  voyage,  but  it  was  evidently  one 
of  the  dates  when  he  left  home  for  the  sea.

This  book,  now  in  possession  of  Miss  Lucy  Alvord  of  West  Win- 
sted,  Conn.,  was  printed  in  1718,  and  has  the  following  title:  "The 
Way  to  Attain  It ;  Glory  by  Inheritance,  being  some  of  Divers  Dis- 
courses on  Proverbs,  III,  35,  by  Nathaniel  Stone,  Pastor  of  a  Con- 
gregation in  Harwich,  Pioston  ;  printed  by  T.  Crump."  The  book 
has  many  of  Ruel's  family  records. 

There  is  an  old  powder  horn  now  in  possession  of  Jabez  Alvord  of 
West  W^instedj  Conn.,  upon  which  is  inscribed :  "Reuel  Alvord,  his 
horn,  Fishkill,  Nov.  17,  1777."  Tradition  says  that  he  served  on 
the  privateer  "Polly"  12  guns  and  100  men,  commanded  by  E.  Rob- 
erts. From  this  we  may  infer  that  being  a  sailor  he  enlisted  as  a 
privateersman  and  was  shut  up  in  the  Hudson  when  the  British  cap- 
tured New  York  City  and  had  no  opportunity  for  active  service. 

He  and  his  wife  joined  tiie  church  in  Eastham.pton,  July  2,  1780. 
She  was  dismissed  in  1825.

Seth  Alvord  was  a  cabinet  maker  by  trade  which  consisted  of  the 
making  of  furniture  and  coffins  for  the  most  part.  He  also  built 
houses  occasionally.  His  brother  Oren  kept  tavern  in  a  house  built 
by  Seth  which  is  still  standing  east  of  the  Cong.  Church  in  East 
Hampton. 

When  Seth  Alvord  was  living  with  his  first  wife,  his  prospective 
second  wife,  Sarah  Sears,  was  to  be  married  to  a  man  by  the  name  of 
jMayhew,  but  before  they  were  married  he  died  of  smallpox.  While 
Sarah  Sears  was  preparing  for  this  marriage,  she  had  Seth  Alvord 
make  her  a  "chest  of  drawers."  After  the  death  of  his  first  wife 
Seth  married  Sarah  Sears  and  the  chest  of  drawers  which  he  had 
previously  made,  was  handed  down  in  his  family  and  is  now  in  pos- 
session of  Mrs.  Anne  (Alvord)  ^^larkham,  of  Willimantic,  Conn. 

Nelson  Clark  Alvord  of  Phoenix,  X.  Y.,  who  is  88  years  old  and 
a  grandson  of  Seth  Alvord,  has  written  the  author  the  following  rec- 
ollections of  his  grandfather: 

"My  grandfather  visited  us  (at  Onondaga,  N.  Y.)  in  the  year  1829.  He 
started  from  his  home  at  Chatham,  Conn.,  visited  his  son  in  Madison  Co., 
N.  Y.,  for  about  two  weeks ;  then  came  to  Onondaga  Co.,  N.  Y.,  and  spent 
three  weeks  with  us ;  then  went  to  Honesdale,  Pa.  After  completing  his  visit 
there,  he  returned  to  his  Conn.  home.  I  heard  from  him  but  once,  soon  after 
his  arrival  home.  At  the  advanced  age  of  75  he  performed  all  this  distance  on 
foot  with  his  canvass  knapsack  lashed  to  his  back.  He  trudged  along  making 
his  twenty  and  twenty-five  miles  daily,  dependent  upon  the  kindness  and 
hospitality  of  the  inhabitants  along  his  way.  This  v/as  before  any  railroads 
were  built  in  this  country.  He  was  one  of  the  veterans  of  Revolutionary 
times,  that  tried  the  stamina  and  souls  of  our  forefathers,  who  enlisted  in 
the  struggle  of  their  country's  freedom  and  shook  off  the  yoke  of  British 
tyranny  and  oppression  to  which  they  were  unwilling  subjects." 

"He  (Seth  Alvord)  enlisted  under  the  banner  of  Washington  in  the  defense 
of  his  beloved  country  with  a  firm  resolution  to  conquer  or  give  his  life  upon 
the  altar  of  liberty.  He  entered  the  service  at  the  age  of  sixteen  (must  be 
an  error,  S.  M.  A.)  and  was  one  that  composed  Washington's  Body  Guard 
and  passed  through  the  trying  scenes  with  him.  He  crossed  the  Delaware 
with  him  and  was  at  the  Surrender  of  Lord  Cornwallis  at  Yorktown.  He 
battled  for  freedom  and  his  cause  to  the  end.     When  he  was  mustered  out

of  the  service  and  received  an  honorable  discharge,  he  received  his  back  pay 
in  Continental  money,  issued  by  the  then  existing  government  of  the  United 
States,  which  they  were  bound  to  redeem,  but  they  repudiated  their  redemp- 
tion which  caused  them  to  be  worthless  and  not  worth  the  paper  that  bore 
the  starnp  of  the  government  that  promised  to  pay.  This  is  an  outrage  upon 
the  patriots  that  gained  our  independence  and  a  blot  of  shame  upon  the  gov- 
ernment. My  grandfather  was  a  man  of  large  and  muscular  frame;  one 
that  feared  no  danger  where  duty  called.  When  he  was  right  he  would 
defend  his  opinion  to  the  last.  He  was  well  informed  and  an  intelligent 
reasoner,  mild  as  a  lamb,  but  when  aroused  he  was  as  fierce  as  a  lion ;  with 
an  eye  as  keen  as  a  hawk ;  with  a  countenance  that  indicated  courage,  self 
will,  inedpendence  and  perseverance ;  possessing  all  the  elements  that  would 
make  a  model  soldier  and  a  good  citizen.  He  said  that  he  matured  early. 
At  the  time  he  enlisted  he  had  assumed  the  proportions  of  a  man.  As  I  was 
the  only  one  of  the  family  that  would  listen  to  his  campaign  stories,  I  would 
sit  until  the  short  hours  of  the  night  and  hear  him  fight  again  the  battles 
of  former  days;  describe  victories,  defeats,  retreats,  advances,  hardships  and 
sufferings  in  camp  and  on  the  march,  and  the  skill  and  strategy  of  his  noble 
commander.  I  will  relate  one  incident  although  it  may  not  be  of  interest  to 
you :  It  was  a  time  when  the  army  was  in  camp  and  he  was  detailed  to  do 
picket  duty,  and  his  beat  was  near  a  vast  forest  with  a  spur  running  down 
near  the  picket  line.  Two  pickets  had  been  shot  within  a  few  days.  His 
beat  chanced  to  come  at  this  fatal  spot.  As  soon  as  it  got  to  be  dark  he  lay 
down  fiat  on  the  ground,  keeping  a  sharp  lookout  for  the  assassin  and  for  the 
corporal  of  the  guards,  for  he  knew  that  death  was  the  penalty  if  caught  off 
duty.  About  10  o'clock  he  discovered  a  shadow  in  the  spur,  dodging  from  tree 
to  tree.  It  soon  came  to  an  open  space,  where  it  stood  for  a  moment,  when 
grandfather  drew  a  bead  on  it  and  fired.  The  shadow  fell.  The  report  of 
his  gun  caused  an  alarm  at  the  outer  door.  The  corporal  soon  appeared  to 
ascertain  the  cause  of  the  alarm,  but  found  the  sentry  pacing  his  beat  as 
though  nothing  had  happened.  An  examination  followed  which  revealed  the 
fact  that  a  dead  assasin  lay  weltering  in  his  own  blood,  dressed  in  a  light  blue 
suit  with  padded  mocassins  on  his  feet,  a  splendid  rifle,  and  in  his  belt  around 
his  body  under  his  coat  a  calvary  pistol  and  a  sheath  knife.  He  was  recog- 
nized as  a  noted  Tory  that  lived  in  a  clearing  some  three  miles  through  the 
woods.'

Thomas  Gould  Alvord  by  tradition  was  adopted  by  his  uncle,  Eli- 
jah Cowles,  whom  he  accompanied  to  Farmington,  Conn.,  where  he 
was  brought  up,  and  learned  the  trade  of  shoemaker. 

He  served  in  the  French  and  Indian  War  when  he  was  under  19 
years  of  age  ;  was  on  the  frontier  from  Oswego  to  Detroit,  and  in 
company  with  his  eldest  son,  Thomas  Gould  xA-lvord,  Jr.,  he  was  in 
Col.  Lamb's  Reg.  in  the  Revolutionary  War,  both  serving  as  can- 
nonniers  and  both  being  present  at  Cornwallis'  surrender.  He  served 
during  the  entire  war,  for  which  he  drew  Lot  No.  13,  600  acres  in 
Homer,  N.  Y.,  to  which  place  he  moved  in  1794.  He  was  at  the 
battle  of  White  Plains,  and  was  wounded  by  a  musket  ball,  which 
entered  his  arm,  and  passing  out  near  the  elbow,  was  picked  up  by 
his  companion,  Luke  Wardsworth,  who  placed  the  ball  in  his  own

102  Alvord  Genealogy 

The  first  death  in  Homer  was  said  to  be  that  of  Mrs.  Thomas 
Gould  Alvord  in  1795.  His  second  wife,  Hannah  (Hart)  Byington 
Alvord,  while  weaving,  accidentally  fell  over  the  loom,  breaking  her 
hip  and  she  lived  only  a  few  days  after  her  fall.

he  was  still  living  in  Colchester  that  year,  but  not  found  there  in 
1800.    He  probably  moved  to  N.  Y.  State,  perhaps  Livingston  Co.

148.  ELISHA  ALVORD  (Asahel,  Thomas,  Thomas,  Alexan- 
der), born  prob.  Colchester,  Conn.,  May  16,  1748. 

No  effort  was  spared  to  secure  data  regarding  Elisha  Alvord. 
While  no  positive  evidence  can  be  brought  forward  to  fully  estab- 
lish it,  it  seems  reasonable  to  believe  that  he  was  the  father  of  Elisha 
Alvord  b.  Dec.  4,  1778,  (see  appendix)  who  married  Molly  Cowles. 
Reasons  for  so  believing  are  as  follows:  1st,  the  transmission  of 
the  name  Elisha  for  two  generations ;  2nd,  Russell  Alvord,  son  of 
Elisha  and  Molly,  used  to  say  that  his  father  was  a  cousin  of  the 
Alvords  of  the  Salt  Works,  Syracuse ;  3rd,  Elisha  and  Molly  Alvord 
lived  at  Canaan  (New  Lebanon),  N.  Y.,  a  brother,  William  Alvord, 
lived  in  Livingston  Co.,  N.  Y.,  and  nephews  of  Elisha,  Sr.,  lived  at 
one  time  in  Hancock,  Mass.,  (formerly  a  part  of  Canaan,  N.  Y., 
and  also  in  Livingston  Co.,  N.  Y.,  which  would  indicate  a  possible 
connection.

"Moses  Alvord  was  in  the  French  and  Indian  War.    When  in  tlie  service 

at  Franconia,  N.  H.,  both  his  feet  were  frozen  and  amputation  near  the  instep 
was  necessary.  Afterwards  his  walk  was  peculiar  and  from  the  fact  that 
his  foot-steps  seemed  to  imitate  the  sound  of  the  voice  in  speaking  the  words, 
he  was  called  'Four-pound-ten.'  He  was  of  medium  size  and  a  great  story- 
teller. A  neighbor  once  told  him  that  the  minister,  Mr.  Beckley,  had  a  negro 
working  for  him.  'Has  he'?  inquired  the  old  man  and  he  soon  started  off 
and  was  gone  all  day  telling  the  news  that  some  benevolent  man  from  Conn, 
had  sent  Mr.  Beckley  a  negro,  that  he  had  arrived  and  some  one  saw  him  at 
work.  When  he  got  home  the  folks  told  him  that  the  story  was  an  imposi- 
tion, and  the  next  day  he  went  over  the  same  route  and  corrected  it."  (Vt.

of  the  men  engaged  in  its  construction.  His  son  Marshall,  rode  on 
the  first  boat  that  ran  on  the  canal.  He  lived  with  his  son  Marshall 
in  Mich,  and  is  remembered  as  a  fine  old  man.

resided  at  X^elson  near  Cazenovia,  X\  Y.,  until  1847  or  1848  when 
his  barn  was  struck  by  lightning  and  burned  with  its  contents.  His

Mr.  Merritt  D.  Lyon  of  Nelson,  who  was  born  in  1834,  remembers 
Mr.  i\lvord  as  a  kind  and  sociable  neighbor  and  a  good  citizen ;  a 
man  above  the  average  in  height  with  a  large  mouth,  thin  lips,  broad 
face  and  high  forehead.  He  always  wore  his  hair  braided  in  a  cue. 
His  features  resembled  Washington's  to  a  marked  degree.  The

122  Alvord  Genealogy 

In  1790  Eleazer  Alvord  was  living  at  Lanesboro,  Mass.,  in  1804 
at  Stephentown,  N.  Y. 

Statement  by  Eleazer  Alvord  to  Sylvester  Judd  in  1835 : 

"When  seventeen  years  old  weighed  the  wife  of  Ithamar  Strong,  210  lbs.; 
Jemima  Lyman,  aged  eighteen,  daughter  of  William,  220,  Deborah  Marshall, 
wife  of  Samuel,  215;  Mary,  wife  of  Elisha  Alvord,  212.  His  grandmother 
Hamilton  died  at  his  father's.  His  g.  f.  b.  died  in  Blandford.  They  came 
from  Scotland,  settled  first  in  another  place,  east.  Elisha  Alvord  removed 
from  Saul  Alvord  place,  he  says  in  1766  in  the  spring  when  he  was  forty- 
seven  years  old.  Removed  the  old  saddler's  shop  and  traded  in  it.  He  lived 
in  the  house  that  had  been  Elisha  Pomeroy's.  It  v/as  a  gambrel  roof,  one 
and  one-half  story,  had  one  or  more  upright  windows  in  the  roof.  Gurnsey 
owned  the  property.  His  silver-smith  shop  was  in  the  upper  story  a  little 
room  with  a  window  in  the  roof.  Gurnsey  died  in  1767.  Alvord  says  he 
went  to  school  in  old  brick  school  house.  It  fronted  down-hill  or  north- 
easterly. Two  rooms,  one  on  each  side  of  chimney  and  front  entry.  Learned 
to  read  and  write,  had  Dilworth  Spelling  Book,  Psalter  and  Bible,  nothing 
else.  He  went  from  the  English  to  the  grammar  school,  thinks  about  the 
same  v.as  taught  in  both  schools,  except  that  there  were  three  or  four  Latin 
scholars  in  the  gram.mar  school.  Has  no  recollection  of  anyone  studying 
g-rammar  or  arithmetic.  Says  Elisha  Pomeroy  was  the  means  of  Eleazer 
Burt's  failure.  Pomeroy  reported  in  Boston  that  Burt  was  running  wild  and 
extravagant.  Creditors  struck  upon  him.  The  timber  was  sold  at  auction 
and  Pomeroy  bought  it  and  built  with  it  the  great  house  on  his  lot.  He 
died  soon  after  and  was  insolvent  or  pretty  near  it.  Large  debts  came  out 
from  England — some  thought  to  be  unjust." 

Second   statement   by   Eleazer  Alvord   to    Sylvester   Judd.      Not 

dated : 

"Old  home-lot  on  meeting-hill.  Saul  Alvord  sold  this  to  Elisha  Alvord 
and  removed  to  Bolton  about  1762  or  3.  The  old  house  stood  N.  W.  of  the 
old  well  (now  remaining)  and  had  a  small  door-yard  before  it.  The  well 
was  near  the  front  fence  and  southerly  of  the  house — not  in  front  of  the 
house.  The  front  door  of  the  house  was  directly  opposite  to  the  front  or 
end  door  of  the  porch  of  the  old  meeting-house  or  opposite  the  middle  of  the 
steeple.  The  front  or  south  fence  ran  from  the  corner  a  little  east  of  the 
Avell,  nearly  straight  to  the  west  corner,  about  two  rods  from  Samuel  King's 
fence.  This  last  corner  was  v/here  the  cellar  of  Whitney's  store  now  is. 
The  line  of  this  fence  struck  King's  fence  a  little  north  of  King's  well  (now 
in  W's  cellar),  and  King's  house  was,  the  whole  of  it,  north  of  this  line. 
King's  well  was  close  to  the  fence,  could  draw  water  and  stand  in  the  street. 
The  house  two  or  three  rods  north  of  the  well.  The  road  between  Samuel 
King's  home-lot  and  Saul  Alvord's  was  about  two  rods  wide.  The  east  end 
of  Saul  Alvord's  lot  went  down  near  the  elm  trees — perhaps  between  them. 
The  north  end  of  the  lot  was  somewhat  circular.  Saul  Alvord's  shop  was 
on  the  east  line  and  a  few  rods  below  the  well.  The  lean  was  on  the  v/est 
line  or  near  it,  not  at  the  corner  but  below  it.  There  was  a  garden  at  the 
corner.     The  barn   was  sold  to   Abner   Lyman — about   forty   feet  long.     The 


Fifth  Generation  123 

house  was  two  story,  had  two  front  rooms  and  a  kitchen  back.  The  roof 
went  down  to  one  story  on  back  side.  It  was  an  old  house  when  Ehsha  Hved 
in  it — was  taken  to  pieces  when  sold." 

"Elisha  Alvord,  an  infirm  man,  was  a  clerk  in  Elisha  Pomeroy's  store;  after 
Pomeroy's  death  began  to  trade  in  Saul  Alvord's  shop.  In  1767  or  8  he  sold 
this  homestead  to  those  who  wanted  a  court-house,  or  rather  they  purchased 
for  him  Elisha  Pomeroy's  place  (now  Ebenezer  Hunt's)  of  Guernsey  and 
exchanged  with  him.  He  traded  there  until  he  failed  .  His  wife  was  a  Ham- 
ilton from  Blandford,  was  Scotch,  a  very  pious  family,  except  her  brother 
Robert  of  Chesterfield.  Elisha  Alvord  lived  with  his  son  Daniel  the  latter 
part  of  his  life  in  the  state  of  X.  Y.  and  died  there,  aged  84,  was  crazy  two 
or  three  years  in  Northampton  and  destroyed  many  valuable  papers,etc.  Elisha 
Pomeroy  used  to  go  to  England  to  purchase  goods.  Dealt  largely  for  those 
days  had  much  trade  from  Deerfield  and  Northfield,  etc. ;  was  a  Pomeroy, 
went  to  Ebenezer  Clark's  to  borrow  money.  'I  don't  know  about  these  mer- 
chants,' said  Clark.  'Merchants,'  says  P.  'I  am  worth  more  money  than  all 
the  Chirks  on  the  hill'  Got  the  money.  It  was  said  that  there  was  crooked 
work  in  England  that  made  him  fail." 

Eleazer  Alvord  was  a  Revolutionary  soldier  and  pensioner.  Also 
his  name  appears  in  Capt.  Allen's  Roll  in  Ely's  Insurrection,  June, 

1782.

Fifth  Generation  127 

Joseph  Alvortl  went  to  the  Niagara  frontier  at  an  early  date.  He 
was  a  physician  and  surgeon.  His  death  and  the  experiences  of  his 
family  form  the  most  tragic  event  in  the  history  of  the  Alvord  fam- 
ily.   The  following  letters  give  a  vivid  account  of  the  affair : 

"Lewistcn,  N.  Y.,  Nov.   12,   1903. 
'"S.  M.  Alvord,  Esq., 

"My  dear  Sir: 

'"Our  postmaster,  Viv.  Whittaker,  has  put  into  my  hands  your  letter  of  in- 
quiry. As  the  oldest  person  living,  born  in  this  town  and  grandson  of  the 
first  v.-hite  settler  on  the  Niagara  frontier,  perhaps  it  properly  falls  to  me  to 
give  the  information  you  desire. 

"Dr.  Alvord — I  cannot  give  his  first  name — was  a  practicing  physician  here 
before  the  War  of  1812.  In  the  raid  by  the  British  and  Indians  on  this  fron- 
tier in  the  year  1813.  in  revenge  for  the  barbarous  burning  of  Newark, 
Upper  Canada,  by  our  Col.  McClure,  Dr.  Alvord  was  cruelly  massacred  by 
the  Indians.  Being  lame  he  attempted  to  escape  on  horseback.  The  Indians 
pursued  him,  shot  him  down  from  his  horse  and  literally  hewed  him  to  death 
with  their  hatchets.  His  remains  were  afterwards  found  and  sadly  buried 
by  escaped  and  returned  settlers.  Swift  retribution  followed  the  Indians. 
They  followed  en  and  overtook  my  grandfather,  Lemuel  Cooke,  (from  Wal- 
lingford,  Ct. ),  my  father  and  two  uncles  making  their  flight  with  my  oldest 
uncle  on  an  ox-cled,  helpless  from  a  wound  at  Quecnstown  Heights  the  pre- 
ceding year.  3ily  father  had  a  musket  with  one  cartridge,  the  only  arms  of 
tiie  party.  The  leading  Indian,  an  Ottav.a  chief,  rode  up  and  made  a  pass 
at  my  uncle  on  tlie  sled,  v.ith  a  sword.  My  father  shot  him  and  he  fell  dead 
from  his  horse.  The  other  four  Indians  fired  a  random  volley  at  him  to 
break  his  aim,  but  missed  him.  On  firing,  a  friendly  band  of  Tuscarora 
Indians  near  by  fired  a  random  volley  and  gave  the  war-whoop  to  shov.-  that 
friends  .were  near.  At  this  the  British  Indians  fled  through  the  woods  to 
Ft.  Niagara.  At  the  close  of  the  war  Mrs.  Alvord,  with  her  children,  re- 
turned to  the  village  and  rebuilt  their  home.  She  was  a  dear  and  honored 
neighbor  and  friend  of  my  mother  ,and  I  remember  her  v\-ell  after  seventy 
years.  I  remember  she  was  of  spare  fi-gure,  dark  gray  hair,  and  had  very 
bright  dark  e3''es.  Her  children,  Lorenzo  and  Lorena  were  older  scholars 
in  the  school  when  I  was  a  little  boy.  The  sister  Aurelia,  also,  I  remember 
well.  Lorena  married  Mr.  Volncy  Spalding,  of  one  of  cur  oldest  and  most 
honored  families.  I  knew  him  well.  He  removed  to  Michigan  and  always 
made  visiting  trips  back  to  his  old  home  here.  I  shall  be  able  to  learn  for  you 
wdiether  he  and  his  wife  are  living  from  some  of  the  Spalding  descendants 
here.  Aurelia's  husband  I  do  not  remember.  Lie  was  not  a  brother  of  Vol- 
ney. 

"I  remember  well  Mrs.  Alvord's  fimeral,  somewhere  in  the  30s.  It  was  a 
great  grief  to  our  family  and  to  our  community.  (Mr.  Cooke  must  be  in 
error  in  regard  to  date  of  death.  S.  M.  A.)  Her  name  is  a  cherished  one 
with  me,  for  her  sweet,  kindly  regard  for  me.  a  little  boy,  and  for  the  com- 
panionship of  her  children,  though  older  than  myself.  Her  home  yet  remains 
and  is  still  known  as  the  "Alvord  House,"  though  few — indeed  none  but  ni}-- 
seif — are  left  that  knew  the  dear  tenants.    Whenever  I  have  met  the  name  of 


1:2^  Alvord  Genealogy 

Alvord,  it  has  always  recalled  the  lamented  victim  of  Indian  atrocity  and  the 
Venerable  partner  left  behind  him.  So  strong  is  this  feeling  that,  should  I 
-ever  go  to  Hartford,  for  the  very  name  and  memory's  sake,  I  should  take  the 
libert}^  of  finding  you  out,  and  hardly  account  you  a  stranger. 

"While  living  in  New  York  City,  recently,  I  was  on  the  point  more  than 
once  of  visiting  Hartford.  Especially  to  see  the  Colt  Arms  factory,  and  get 
one  of  their  neat  little  rifles  as  a  keepsake.  We  boys  of  the  frontier  naturally 
took  to  rifles,  and  now  at  eighty-two,  it  is  one  of  my  recreations  to  target 
at  a  mark  in  the  woods,  where  I  shot  squirrels  and  pigeons  seventy  years  ago, 
where  my  uncle  helped  feed  the  family  with  bear  and  venison  thirty  years 
ibefore  that,  and  where  the  Senecas  and  Tuscaroras  roamed  a  hundred  years 
before  that.  Patches  of  the  old  forest  yet  remain  and  are  favorite  haunts  for 
me,  the  only  one  left  to  recall  their  earlier  day.  If  there  is  any  further  in- 
formation I  can  secure  for  you,  be  free  to  send  to  me  and  I  shall  gladly 
.oblige  you.  The  name  'Alvord'  is  a  pleasant  one  for  me  to  recall  and  even  to 
write. 

Very  truly  yours, 
Joshua  Cooke,   (Retired  Pres.  minister.)" 

The  following  is  an  extract  from  a  letter  of  Mrs.  Clara  P.  Wal- 
ten,  whose  first  husband  was  Edward  G.  Field,  grandson  of  Dr.  Jo- 
seph and  Mary  (Woodward)  Alvord.  The  latter  lived  in  her  family 
for  a  number  of  years  and  she  gives  her  recollections  of  the  grand- 
mother and  the  story  of  the  tragedy  as  it  came  from  her  lips : 

(The  letter  was  written  Feb.  18.  1905.) 

"During  the  War  of  1812  they  were  living  at  Lewiston,  N.  Y.  Her  hus- 
band, Mr.  Alvord,  as  you  know,  was  a  physician.  His  office  was  in  connec- 
tion with  his  house.  The  children  were  all  young  Mary  only  three  months 
old.  They  were  seated  at  the  breakfast  table  one  morning  when  they  heard 
the  cry,  'The  British  are  coming,'  and  looking  off  on  the  hill,  they  saw  the 
soldiers,  and  springing  to  their  feet  they  hastily  prepared  to  leave  their  home. 
They  were  soon  driven  to  the  country  or  a  place  of  safety — by  they  I  mean 
grandma  and  her  children.  Mr.  Alvord  started  on  foot.  Here  grandma 
would  give  way  to  her  emotions  as  she  recalled  it  all,  and  would  say,  T  never 
saw  him  afterwards,  but  was  told  that  he  had  only  gone  a  short  distance 
from  his  home,  when  he  was  shot  by  a  British  officer.'  Those  were  sad  times 
for  the  widows  and  children.  Their  houses  were  burned.  Her  house  was 
burned  and  she  had  nothing  left  except  the  land  on  which  it  stood,  and  the 
<:lothes  they  had  on  when  they  made  their  hasty  flight  from  the  peace  and 
security  of  a  happy  home.  Without  husband  or  home,  with  only  her  little 
ones  about  her,  our  grandmother  rose  to  the  occasion,  and  with  the  assist- 
ance of  neighbors  and  friends,  made  a  home  or  dwelling  place  for  those 
depending  on  her  care.  She  has  told  me  many  times  of  how  she  burned  the 
mid-night  oil  in  sewing  and  washing  for  her  children  that  they  might  have 
■clean  clothes  to  put  on  in  the  morning.  She  dwelt  happily  on  the  helpful 
sympathy  of  friends  in  her  new  life  and  sad  experiences,  and  how  they  all 
Iried  to  do  for  each  other. 


Fifth  Generation  129 

"Is'nt  it  singular  that  after  all  her  daughters  were  married,  our  grand- 
mother finally  consented  to  break  up  her  home  and  go  to  live  among  her 
children,  that  she  lived  with  one  after  another  until  their  death,  and  as  in 
the  case  at  Mr.  Field's,  until  the  vacant  chair  was  again  filled.  Think  of  all 
her  varied  experiences,  and  can  we  wonder  that  even  now  her  children 
rise  up  and  call  her  blessed.  I  recall  it  as  among  the  happiest  experiences 
of  my  life,  the  years  she  was  a  sharer  in  our  home.  My  children  were  her 
children  also,  in  interest  and  affectionate  regard,  and  it  is  a  comfort  to  me 
that  in  these  later  years  I  can  look  back  upon  the  happy  days  we  spent  to- 
gether. Grandmother  is  buried  in  Toledo,  I  think  beside  Lorena.  Her  son, 
if  I  remember  correctly,  shot  himself  accidently,  while  loading  a  gun." 

Mr.  Rushton  Field's  recollection  is  that  his  grandfather  was  killed 
in  or  just  after  the  battle  of  Lewiston,  his  grandmother  fleeing  in 
the  night  with  her  four  children,  his  mother  being  a  babe  in  her 
arms.  The  cloak  in  which  his  mother  was  wrapped  Mr.  Field  still 
retains.  He  says  his  grandmother  died  from  the  effects  of  a  broken 
thigh  from  falling  over  a  rocking  chair  during  the  night. 

Pool's  "Landmarks  of  Niagara  Co.,"  p.  54,  gives  the  following: 
"Among  the  others  slain  (at  Lewiston,  Dec.  19,  1813)  was  Dr.  Alvord,  the 
pioneer  physician.     The  latter  had  just  mounted  his  horse  at  his  door  and 
started  to  ride  away,  but  was  shot  before  he  had  gone  far." 

Also  p.  285 : 

"Dr.  Alvord  was  the  first  resident  physician  (at  Lewiston)  but  it  is  not 
known  when  he  came." 

From  the  Souvenir  Hist,  of  Niagara  Co.,  N.  Y. : 

"The  case  of  Dr.  Alvord  was  pitiful.  He  was  a  cripple  and  attempting 
to  escape  on  horseback  was  shot  down  and  tomahawked.  When  he  was  found 
his  poor  fingers  were  slit  down  to  the  wrists  with  the  hatchets,  as  he  had 
vainly  held  them  up  to  parry  the  blows  or  to  ask  for  mercy." 

Mrs.  Mary  (Woodward)  Alvord  had  a  sister  Elsie,  who  lived  near 
Batavia,  N.  Y.

Recollections  of  George  P.  Alvord  of  Mt.  Morris,  N.  Y.,  regard- 
ing his  grandfather: 

"Grandfather  (Stephen  Washington  Alvord)  owned  and  occupied  a  farm 
in  Vermont,  about  two  miles  from  Montpelier.  He  indorsed  notes  for  a 
friend  and  was  obliged  to  sacrifice  his  farm  to  meet  the  payments.  He  then 
emigrated  to  Canada,  but  finding  the  winters  too  severe,  he  moved  to  East 
Bloomfield,  N.  Y.,  where  he  remained  until  1823,  when  he  went  to  Mt.  Morris, 
N.  Y.,  and  contracted  for  a  piece  of  timber  land.  He  immediately  began  to 
erect  a  log  house,  which  he  expected  to  make  his  home,  but  was  taken  sick 
and  died  before  its  completion." 

Genius  H.  Engle  of  Hartford,  Mich.,  son  of  Sally  Alvord,  recalls 
that  his  mother  said  that  on  one  occasion  during  the  War  of  1812, 
a  number  of  soldiers  left  baggage  at  her  father's  house  on  a  march 
to  Canada,  saying  that,  if  they  never  returned,  he  might  have  the 
things,  that  her  father  spent  one  winter  lumbering  in  Canada  and 
returned  in  the  spring  without  one  cent,  the  company  having  failed, 
also  that  she  attended  school  with  Joseph  Smith  when  a  child,  and 
wondered  that  a  boy  of  such  ordinary  ability  could  become  the  found- 
er of  a  powerful  religious  sect. 

U.  S.  Census  for  1790  makes  Stephen  W.  Alvord  a  resident  of 
Woodstock,  Vt.,  also  at  Woodstock  in  1800.  Descendants  all  agree 
that  some  of  the  children  were  born  near  Montpelier.

Mrs.  Roxana  (Alvord)  Burke  united  wnth  the  church  at  Windsor, 
Vt.,  Dec.  2,  1810: 

"Mrs.  Rocksalana  Burke,  having  previously  given  satisfactory  evidence  to 
the  church  of  her  gracious  state,  and  been  duly  propounded,  was  received 
to  the  communion  and  fellowship  of  the  church."     (Windsor,  Vt.,  Ch.  Rec.) 

The  immediate  cause  of  her  death  appeared  to  be  inflammation 
of  the  lungs  or  lung  fever,  although  the  infirmities  of  old  age  had 
afflicted  her  for  some  years. 

Mr.  Burke  was  often  appointed  by  the  church  as  delegate  to  ordi- 
nations and  church  meetings.  He  removed  to  Nnshua,  N.  H..  in 
May,  1826.  He  lived  to  a  feeble  old  age,  but  gave  evidence  of  strong

camped at  New  Haven,  Conn.,  until  Nov.  18,  1862,  when  it  embarked  for  Pen- 
sacola,  Fla.,  and  there  remained  inactive  until  ordered  to  join  Gen.  Banks* 
army.  After  harrassing  marches  in  La.  they  were  actively  engaged  in  the 
assault  on  Port  Hudson,  Jan.  14,  1863,  sustaining  a  loss  of  fifty-nine  killed, 
wounded  and  missing.  During  the  siege  of  Port  Hudson,  Lieut.  Alvord  sus- 
tained a  severe  illness  under  great  privations.  The  regiment  was  mustered 
out  of  the  service  at  New  Haven,  Conn.,  Aug.  28,  1863.  After  the  war  Mr. 
Alvord  served  as  postmaster  at  Winsted,  Conn.,  for  two  years  and  later  en- 
faged  in  manufacturing.     He  resides  at  Winsted,  Conn. 

James  Hall  Alvord  settled  in  the  part  of  East  Hampton,  Conn., 
called  "Muddy  Gutter  Brook,"  but  in  1809  he  removed  with  his  fam- 
ily, wife  and  three  children,  Clarissa  Penfield,  John  Watson  and

Mary  Cook,  to  Winsted,  Conn.,  where  he  purchased  a  small  house 
with  an  acre  of  ground  near  the  "meeting  house"  on  the  green,  built 
a  shop  and  set  up  business  as  saddle  and  harness  maker  for  the  town. 
His  means  were  quite  limited  after  paying  for  his  place,  but  by  faith- 
fulness to  his  customers,  with  industry  and  economy,  his  business  in- 
creased so  that  the  large  family  were  always  above  want  and  in  a 
condition  of  moderate  comfort.  Mr.  Alvord  united  with  the  Cong. 
Church  during  the  "Great  Revival"  in  1816.  His  wife  having  joined 
the  church  two  years  previous  and  all  the  children  then  born  were 
baptized. 

In  1836  he  was  chosen  deacon  of  the  church  in  which  office  he 
continued  until  its  active  duties  were  resigned  on  account  of  age  and 
infirmity  in  1865.  He  was  for  a  number  of  years  a  leader  of  the 
choir,  greatly  enjoying  the  exercise  of  singing  and  until  old  age  was 
called  upon  to  "set  the  tune"  in  social  meetings.  His  love  for  music 
also  found  scope  in  being  for  many  years  professional  drummer  in 
the  militia  company  of  the  town.  At  one  time  or  another  he  filled 
nearly  all  the  minor  offices  of  the  town  and  society ;  was  always  in- 
terested in  the  promotion  of  schools,  often  "school  committeeman" 
and  was  school  society's  treasurer  nearly  all  his  active  life. 

In  politics  Dea.  Alvord  was  a  Whig,  in  olden  times  he  was  called  a 
Federalist.  He  early  espoused  the  Anti-Slavery  cause  and  party, 
and  when  the  Abolitionists  in  this  country  were  few,  he  was  the 
well  known  and  staunch  friend  of  the  enslaved.  In  town  meeting  he 
was  one  of  the  six  who  first  voted  for  freedom.  It  was  on  the  ques- 
tion of  the  "Right  of  Petition,  etc."  He  invariably  voted  for  the 
same  principles,  no  matter  who  voted  otherwise  and  at  the  age  of 
eighty  this  was  almost  the  only  secular  subject  on  which  his  mind  re- 
mained clear.  Without  remarkable  powers  of  conversation,  he  was 
ever  a  shrewd  observer  of  men  and  things ;  and  his  terse  criticisms 
on  the  follies  of  the  times,  his  sharp  hits  at  laggards  in  duty,  and  his 
pithy  sayings  on  all  subjects,  increasing  as  age  advanced,  have  been 
noted. 

A  strict  disciplinarian  in  his  family,  rigid  after  the  old  school,  in 
that  little  old  house  the  children  all  "had  to  mind"  and  come  in  at 
sun-down  on  Saturday  nights,  when  a  longer  chapter  than  usual  was 
read  at  family  devotions.  On  Sundays  the  assembled  group  had  to 
say  the  Catechism,  no  child  daring  to  venture  anywhere  else  before 
sunset  on  that  day,  except  into  the  burying  ground. 

All  Dea,  Alvord's  traits  of  character  were  distinct  and  influential. 


Sixth  Generation  159 

He  was  respected  by  all  who  knew  him  as  a  sincere,  honest  man,  a 
devoted  Christian,  decided  and  firm  in  the  right  and  willing  to  do 
what  he  could  in  every  good  work.  With  a  very  limited  education, 
without  property  or  any  high  standing  in  society,  his  influence  was 
for  more  than  half  a  century  widely  felt,  and  his  good  name  and  real 
worth  will  long  be  remembered. 

To  his  large  family  for  which  he  toiled  incessantly,  he  was  accus- 
tomed to  say  'T  shall  try  to  bring  you  all  up  and  give  you  a  good 
schooling  and  that  is  all  I  can  do  for  you."  This  he  did  and  from 
that  bringing  up  with  its  consequent  good  habits,  and  that  "school- 
ing," the  nine  surviving  children  had  a  rare  inheritance  for  which 
their  united  thanks  are  due  their  honored  father. 

When  Dea.  Alvord  passed  away  it  was  said  in  truth,  "A  good  man 
has  gone  to  nis  grave  and  his  reward." 

Mrs.  Lucy  (Cook)  Alvord  was  the  only  child  of  her  parents.  Her 
father,  Richard  Cook,  was  a  Revolutionary  soldier  and  pensioner. 
It  is  related  that  his  daughter,  Lucy,  encountered  opposition  in  her 
choice  of  a  husband,  owing  to  his  poverty.  Time,  however,  recon- 
ciled the  parents  to  their  daughter's  choice.  Her  early  married  life 
was  spent  in  severe  struggles  with  privation  and  poverty,  amid  which 
she  reared  a  large  family  and  imparted  to  them  a  training  and  char- 
acter which  left  its  impress  for  generations.  She  possessed  a  most 
lovable  character  and  remarkably  even  disposition.  Through  her 
motb*^^  she  was  descended  from  Edward  Fuller.

and  worked  for  some  time ;  from  there  he  went  to  Goshen,  Conn., 
and  worked  until  his  health  failed.  Seeking  out-of-door  employment 
he  took  a  dairy  farm,  and  as  his  health  improved  he  bought  a  farm  in 
Litchfield  Co..  South  Farms,  town  of  Morris,  Conn.,  where  he  lived 
until  his  death.  He  represented  his  town  in  the  Conn.  State  Legis-

grandson  of  Elihit  Alvord  writes  that  his  grandfather  lived  for  a  few 
years  after  leaving  Conn,  at  Albany,  N.  Y.,  and  was  employed  in  the 
shipyards  there.  He  removed  from  Ellicottville,  N.  Y.,  to  Scot 
Co.,  la.,  in  1837  settling  on  a  claim  18  miles  north  of  Davenport.    He

was  the  oldest  member  of  the  Scott  Co.  Pioneer  Ass.  and  was  prob- 
ably the  oldest  settler  in  the  county.  In  1857  when  Mr.  Alvord  was 
eighty-one  years  old  he  visited  his  old  home  in  Conn.  By  occupa- 
tion he  was  a  cabinet  maker  and  had  considerable  mechanical  genius, 
so  that  he  was  wont  to  spend  hours  at  a  time  endeavoring  to  perfect 
perpetual  motion.  He  was  fond  of  horticulture,  a  great  reader  and 
highly  esteemed  by  all  who  knew  him.  His  home,  during  the  last 
years  of  his  life  was  with  his  daughter,  Alary  Ann  Fish,  at  Walnut 
Grove,  la.  When  eighty-eight  years  old  he  walked  from  Walnut 
Grove,  la.,  to  Davenport,  a  distance  of  18  miles,  to  visit  his  son  C.  C. 
Alvord.  It  was  in  July  and  the  sun  was  very  hot.  The  next  day  he 
was  taken  with  an  attack  of  cholera  morbus  from  which  he  died  on 
the  second  morning  after  leaving  home.  At  the  organization  of  St. 
John's  Episcopal  Church  at  Ellicottville,  N.  Y.,  Elihu  Alvord  was 
chosen  vestryman,  Sept.,  1829. 

Property  was  deeded  to  Elihu  Alvord  of  Milton,  Saratoga  Co.,  N. 
Y.,  in  1806 ;  to  Elihu  Alvord  of  Marcellus,  N.  Y.,  in  1810 ;  from  Elihu 
Alvord  and  wife  of  Cayuga  Co.,  N.  Y.,  in  1812,  of  Ellicottville,  N.

Mrs.  Alvord  was  a  member  of  the  Episcopal  Church  and  in  her 
youth  highly  regarded  in  society.

throughout  the  war  and  was  at  Cornwallis'  Surrender.  For  his 
services  he  received  600  acres  of  land  in  Homer,  Courtland  Co., 
N.  Y.

He  drew  lot  No.  56,  but  when  he  reached  Manlius,  N.  Y.,  he  was  met  by  a 
couple  of  land  sharks,  who,  upon  learning  the  lot  upon  which  the  old  hero  was 
intending  to  settle,  very  coolly  informed  him  that  they  had  been  to  Homer, 
and  they  were  well  acquainted  with  the  position  of  his  land  and  could  assure 
him  that  it  was  exceedingly  poor  and  wet  the  greater  part  of  the  year,  it  being 
covered  with  water.  In  short,  he  was,  by  means  of  this  deception,  induced  to 
part  with  600  acres  of  most  valuable  land  for  the  trifling  sum  of  a  few  dollars, 
a  horse  and  saddle.  Consequently  with  his  brothers  Charles  and  Ebenezer 
he  settled  upon  lot  No.  13.  He  was  an  inn-keeper  and  the  sign  still  remains 
on  the  old  homestead.  It  reads:  "Thomas  Gould  Alvord,  Inn,  1808."  (Cort-

knowledge  of  his  whereabouts  later  than  Feb.  21,  1841.  At  that 
time  he  was  four  miles  below  Mills  Point  on  the  Mississippi  in 
Ky.  He  was  then  thinking  of  settling  somewhere  during  the  next 
twelve  months,  and  that  was  the  last  time  they  heard  from  him. 
His  brother  Sylvester  made  diligent  inquiry  wherever  he  thought 
there  was  any  prospect  of  hearing  from  him,  but  all  to  no  purpose.

Ebenezer  Alvord  moved  from  Farmington,  Conn,  to  Homer,  N. 
Y.  when  it  was  almost  an  unbroken  wilderness  and  settled  upon  lot 
No.  13.  In  his  bark-covered  cabin  he  began  a  life  of  hardships,  of 
which  his  posterity  can  know  nothing.    His  courage  and  endurance.

however,  rendered  him  equal  to  his  lot,  for,  though  often  unfortu- 
nate he  never  became  in  the  least  disheartened,  and  in  no  instance 
was  he  known  to  crowd  a  poor  man  for  debt  who  was  struggling 
with  poverty,  however  needy  he  might  be  himself. 

In  an  engagement  to  clear  Tioughnioga  river  of  obstructions  he 
became  so  much  involved  as  to  lose  his  farm,  jvtst  cleared  and  in 
condition  to  support  his  family ;  but  with  stout  heart  he  retired  a 
second  time  into  the  forest  and  cleared  another  farm.  Subsequently, 
however  he  repurchased  his  first  farm,  and  upon  it  he  spent  the 
remaining  years  of  his  life. 

When  Ebenezer  Alvord's  father  married  his  second  wife,  she  stip- 
ulated in  the  marriage  contract  that  she  should  not  be  burdened  with 
his  children.  This  stipulation  was  not  only  strictly  regarded  by  said 
children,  but  when  she  becomes  a  helpless  widow,  Ebenezer  Alvord 
took  her  home,  and  with  some  pecuniary  aid  from  his  brothers,  sup- 
ported and  cared  for  her  as  tenderly  as  though  she  had  been  his  own 
mother.  Thus  those  she  feared  might  be  a  burden  to  her,  became 
the  cheerful  support  of  her  declining  years.

Charles  Alvord  with  his  young  wife  and  babe,  left  Farmington, 
Conn,  in  Feb.  1793,  travelled  on  an  ox-sled  to  Homer,  N.  Y.  and 
settled  in  an  unbroken  wilderness  upon  a  piece  of  land  which  his 
father  drew  from  U.  S.  for  serving  in  the  Revolution,  situated  a 
few  miles  north  of  what  is  now  the  village  of  Homer.  From  Syra- 
cuse, thirty  miles  distant,  his  only  guide  was  marked  trees  with 
streams  to  ford  and  logs  to  drive  over. 

His  first  work  was  to  make  a  shelter  by  driving  crotches  into  the 


170  Alvord  Genealogy 

ground  laying  poles  across  and  spreading  hemlock  boughs  thickly 
over  the  whole.  This  served  for  a  temporary  home  until  he  could 
build  a  log  house  and  make  a  clearing  to  let  in  the  sun.  His  nearest 
neighbor  was  four  miles  distant. 

A  branch  of  the  Tioughnioga  river  flowed  a  few  rods  from  his 
house,  from  which  he  caught  plenty  of  speckled  trout  and  trapped 
the  mink,  muskrat  and  beaver.  Deer  and  wild  pigeon  were  plenty 
and  furnished  him  with  meat. 

Bears,  however,  destroyed  his  corn  and  carried  off  his  pigs  when 
opportunity  offered,  concerning  which  he  used  to  relate  the  follow- 
ing incident.  While  chopping  wood  about  100  rods  from  his  cabin, 
he  heard  his  hog  squeal,  and  running  to  the  pen,  he  was  just  in  time 
to  see  a  monstrous  bear  walking  away  on  his  hind  legs,  with  his 
hog  (weighing  over  200  pounds),  stepping  over  logs  two  feet  high. 
He  ran  for  his  gun  but  to  his  consternation  found  that  he  had  neither 
ball  nor  slug,  but  feeling  in  his  pocket,  he  found  a  piece  of  a  link  of 
a  log-chain  which  he  had  broken  the  day  before.  Though  this  did 
not  exactly  fit  his  gun,  he  drove  it  home  with  his  ax  and  ramrod. 

The  bear,  though  now  nearly  half  a  mile  away,  was  soon  overtaken. 
He  looked  like  a  huge  negro  as  he  walked,  and  the  squeals  of  the 
pig  were  growing  faint.  When  near  enough  he  brought  his  gun  to 
his  shoulder  and  fired.  The  piece  of  chain  went  tearing  through  the 
bear's  shoulder  and  into  the  pig.  He  finished  them  both  with  his 
sheath-knife.  The  hog  and  bear  furnished  them  with  meat  and  the 
bear-skin  added  to  their  stock  of  bedding. 

He  once  tracked  a  she  bear  to  her  den  in  the  Beaver  swamp,  shot 
the  bear,  brought  home  and  raised  the  two  cubs,  which  lived  several 
years,  and  though  kept  and  led  around  with  a  log-chain,  were  quite 
tame. 

He  continued  to  reside  where  he  first  settled  until  the  march  of 
improvement,  and  increase  of  population  blotted  out  these  scenes  of 
frontier  life.  He  died  and  was  buried  near  where  his  first  cabin  was 
built. 

"There  is  a  house  sitviated  on  the  Scott  Road  in  the  town  of  Homer,  N.  Y., 
built  by  Charles  Alvord  in  1795.  It  is  at  present  time  (1903)  in  a  good  state 
of  preservation  and  is  used  as  a  Grange  Hall.  His  first  house  was  of  logs 
near  the  same  site,  on  land  granted  to  the  Revolutionary  soldiers. 

"Mrs.  Eunice  Learning  Alvord  was  descended  from  Jeremiah  Learning,  an 
officer  in  Cromwell's  Army,  who  came  to  L.  L  in  1632.  He  had  a  son  Jere- 
miah who  settled  in  Middletown,  Conn."     (Letter  from  a  descendant).

Before  1790  Elisha  Alvord  had  brought  his  father  and  family  to  a 
Revolutionary  military  claim  in  Homer,  N.  Y.  In  1793  he  went  to 
Salina,  N.  Y.  and  was  the  first  to  manufacture  salt  in  a  permanent 
building,  becoming  superintendent  of  the  Federal  Salt  Works.  After 
two  years,  the  company  was  dissolved  and  bought  out  by  himself  and 
brother  Dioclesian.  He  also  traded  with  the  Indians,  and  kept  the 
first  store  at  Syracuse. 

In  1813  he  went  to  reside  in  Lansingburgh,  N.  Y.,  where  he 
engaged  in  the  mercantile  and  produce  business  with  his  brother-in- 
law,  Abraham  C.  Lansing.  In  this  business  he  continued  until  1825. 
He  was  a  man  of  influence  and  property. 

At  the  first  election  in  Syracuse,  Mr.  Alvord  was  chosen  super- 
viser.  He  also  received  the  following  military  appointments:  1801, 
appointed  Adj.  in  the  2nd  Reg.  of  N.  Y. ;  in  1808,  Capt.  in  Lt.  Col. 
Nehemiah  Earls'  Reg. ;  in  1809,  1st  major  in  Col.  John  Ellis'  Reg. 

Capt.  Cornelius  Lansing,  Mrs.  Alvord's  father,  was  captain  in  the 
militia,  and  successfully  defended  Ft.  Edward  at  the  battle  of  Sara-

Dioclesian  Alvord's  early  education  was  limited  to  that  which  the 
common  schools  of  his  native  state  afforded.  He  was  apprenticed 
to  the  tailor's  trade  but  did  not  prosecute  it  long.  He  went  to  Salina, 
N.  Y.  in  the  fall  of  1798  and  with  his  brother  Elisha,  who  had  pre- 
ceded him  four  years,  became  engaged  in  the  manufacture  of  salt. 
Mr.  Alvord  was  very  active  in  his  business  and  was  a  pioneer  in 
carrying  salt  into  the  West.  The  partnership  with  his  brother  was 
dissolved  in  1813  by  the  removal  of  Elisha  to  Lansingburgh.  At 
that  time  they  were  the  largest  salt  manufacturers  on  the  reservation. 
Dioclesian  continued  to  carrv  on  the  business,  uniting  with  it  the 
occupation  of  merchant.  In  1826  he  gave  up  general  business  and 
took  up  his  permanent  residence  on  his  farm,  where  he  lived  until 
his  death. 

Mr.  Alvord  was  not  a  man  of  marked  talent;  his  chief  ambition 
seemed  to  be  to  perform  his  daily  round  of  duty.  He  held,  however, 
at  various  times  several  town  offices,  which  he  administered  with 
scrupulous  fidelity  and  integrity  he  was  always  frank  and  courteous 
in  manner,  and  straightforward  in  business,  detesting  all  sham  and 
pretense.  He  was  possessed  of  indomitable  courage  and  persever- 
ance, ever  active  and  industrious  and  of  the  most  exemplary  habits. 
It  was  always  a  pleasure  to  converse  with  him,  as  he  was  full  of 


Sixth  Generation  173 

interesting  reminiscences  and  anecdotes  of  his  early  life  in  the  county, 
a  vivid  recollection  of  which  he  always  retained.  In  politics  he  was 
a  Whig  and  Republican. 

Mrs  Dioclesian  Alvord  was  a  remarkable  woman,  distinguished 
alike  for  Christian  faith  and  good  works  which  illustrated  it. 
She  was  a  worthy  helpmate  to  her  honored  husband.

Asahel  Alvord  was  the  seventh  son  of  his  father  and  in  accordance 
with  an  old  custom  to  make  the  seventh  son  a  physician,  he  always 
felt  that  this  should  have  been  his  profession.  However,  this  was 
not  destined  to  be,  for  while  yet  a  small  boy  he  went  with  his 
brothers,  Elisha  and  Dioclesian,  to  Salina  (Syracuse),  N.  Y.  After 
his  marriage  to  Eva  R.  Mang,  eldest  daughter  of  Dr.  John  Jacob 
Mang,  who  had  come  with  her  father  to  America  from  Germany, 
he  kept  a  hotel  at  Fulton,  N.  Y.,  and  was  in  the  army  defending 
Oswego  from  the  British  attack  in  1814.  He  bought  land  in  Cald- 
well Co.,  Mo.,  for  which  place  he  set  out  in  1844-5  with  his  sons, 
John  Jacob  and  Harvey,  and  their  families.  Asahel  had  promised  to 
give  each  of  the  boys  a  farm,  but  arriving  at  St.  Louis  he  was  not 
ready  to  deed  the  property  then,  hence  John  Jacob  declined  to  go 
farther. 

In  May  1849,  when  the  gold  fever  was  at  its  height  in  Cal.,  Asahel 
and  his  son  Harvey  started  for  the  gold  field.  They  crossed  the 
plains  in  wagons  and  reached  Placerville,  Cal.,  Oct.  10,  1849.  Asahel 
died  six  weeks  later,  Nov.  26,  1849,  and  was  buried  there  on  a  side- 
hill  which  had  been  chosen  for  a  burial  spot.  In  1856  his  son  Harvey 
returned  to  Placerville  to  find  his  grave,  but  he  found  that  the  hill 
had  been  partially  washed  away  by  hydraulics  used  in  mining  the 
gold,  therefore  he  lies  in  an  unknown  and  unmarked  grave. 

Dr.  John  Jacob  Mang,  a  highly  educated  man  and  a  great  linguist, 
rendered  great  service  in  constructing  the  locks  of  the  Erie  Canal.  At 
the  time  of  death  in  1842,  at  the  age  of  86,  he  was  said  to  have  the 
largest  private  libran.-  in  Syracuse.

he  moved.  Like  his  ancestors,  he  was  of  an  ardent,  excitable

in  his  brother's  store.  In  his  business  he  was  attentive,  peaceable, 
quiet  and  unassuming.  In  his  deportment  he  was  as  gentle  as  a 
child.     He  died  of  consumption.

years  associate  judge  of  the  county  court.  He  was  twice  a  member 
of  the  Legislature,  and  a  member  of  the  Constitutional  Convention 
of  1818.  He  often  represented  his  church  in  ecclesiastical  bodies; 
was  a  trustee  of  the  Nathan  Hale  donation.

He  was  a  lover  of  peace  and  did  much  to  promote  it  in  families, 
neig^hborhoods  and  churches ;  but  no  one  ever  attacked  him  or  his 
principles  without  finding  him  prepared  to  defend  both.  True  to 
what  he  counted  his  duty,  no  opposition  could  deter  him  from  it. 
With  high  regard  for  integrity  and  faithful  to  every  trust,  he  com- 
mander! the  respect  and  confidence  of  friends  and  foes.  Oct.  31, 
1842,  he  was  thrown  from  his  wagon  and  died  the  same  day. 

Mrs.  Phebe  (Buell)  Alvord  was  a  woman  of  positive  faith  and 
strong  character.

Martin  Alvord  was  a  farmer  at  Bolton,  Conn.,  living  about  one 
mile  south  from  the  center  of  the  town  on  the  main  road.  Joseph 
Clark,  the  father  of  his  second  wife,  graduated  at  Dartmouth  Col- 
lege in  1785.  He  had  previously  served  in  the  Revolutionary  War. 
After  the  battle  of  Lexington  he  walked  from  Columbia,  Conn.,  to 
Boston,  fought  in  the  battle  of  Bunker  Hill  and  then  went  to  Long 
Island,  where  he  was  taken  prisoner  and  put  on  the  Mill  Prison 
Ship.  The  ship  was  so  crowded  wnth  prisoners  that  they  could 
neither  lie  down  nor  scarcely  stand.  In  this  condition  they  were  kept 
for  two  days  and  when  taken  on  deck,  many  of  them  took  cold  ^nd 
died.  Joseph  Clark  was  then  carried  to  Halifax  and  thence  to  Eng- 
land, where  he  remained  a  prisoner  for  more  than  two  years.  On 
being  exchanged  he  joined  the  army  of  Gen.  Sullivan.  After  the 
Wyoming  Masacre  he  marched  up  the  Genesee  Valley.  When 
peace  was  declared  he  studied  law  with  Gen.  Sullivan  of  Kittery, 
Me.,  and  began  to  practice  in  Rochester,  N.  H.  At  one  time  he  was 
candidate  for  Governor  of  N.  H.  Several  of  his  addresses  were  pub- 
lished.

Benjamin  Ruggles'  father  died  leaving  him  without  means  when 
he  was  eight  years  old.  He  had  a  Connecticut  common  school  edu- 
cation, but  this  was  sufficient  to  inspire  him  with  an  ambition  to 
make  a  name  for  himself.  He  taught  school  a  part  of  the  year  and 
used  the  money  thus  acquired  in  attending  school  himself  the  rest  of 
the  year.  From  the  academy  he  went  into  the  law  office  of  Judge 
Peters  of  Hebron,  Conn.  Inquiring  of  Judge  Peters  what  the  pros- 
pects were  in  the  legal  profession,  he  received  the  reply :  "The  bar 
is  very  much  crowded,  but  Connecticut  exports  a  great  many  law- 
yers ;  there  is  a  demand  for  them  in  the  West."  Accordingly,  when 
he  had  completed  his  studies  with  Judge  Peters,  he  went  West  and 
located  at  Marietta,  O.,  in  1807,  where  he  opened  an  office  for  the 
practice  of  law. 

In  the  year  1810  he  was  elected  President  Judge  of  the  Court  of 
Common  Pleas,  the  circuit  extending  from  St.  Clairsville  to  Cleve- 
land. He  then  removed  to  St.  Clairsville  since  he  was  required  to 
reside  in  the  district,  which  did  not  include  Marietta.  In  1815  Judge 
Ruggles  was  elected  to  the  U.  S.  Senate  by  the  Whigs  and  was 
twice  re-elected,  serving  in  that  capacity  for  eighteen  years.  He 
then  retired  from  public  life,  though  he  was  a  candidate  for  minor 
offices  but  was  unsuccessful  owing  to  the  general  defeat  of  his  party. 

Senator  Ruggles  was  not  an  orator,  though  in  his  early  manhood 
he  wrote  poetry  and  delivered  orations.  His  speech  was  plain,  and 
while  his  efforts  lacked  ornamentation  it  was  noted  that  when  he  ad- 
dressed the  Senate  he  was  listened  to  with  attention.  His  opinions 
were  received  as  the  conclusion  of  a  sound  mind,  guided  by  an  honest 
purpose.  In  a  truthful  and  plain  way  he  did  his  work  and  in  times 
of  party  strife  and  collisions  of  opinion  he  was  always  firm  and  de- 
cided.    He  was  the  soul  of  integrity  and  lived  above  reproach. 


Sixth  Generation  185 

Senator  Rugg-les  was  tall  and  rather  thin,  never  of  rugged  health 
and  of  rather  delicate  appearance.  He  never  gave  way  to  appetite 
or  passion  and  in  the  community  where  he  lived  he  appears  to  have 
been  universally  loved.  He  was  fond  of  addressing  the  children 
and  was  well  stored  with  maxims  for  the  future  generation.  His 
residence  in  St.  Clairsville  was  on  Marietta  St.  He  married  as  his 
second  wife,  Nov.  10,  1825,  Clarissa  (White)  Alvord,  widow  of 
Elijah  Alvord,  by  w^hom  he  had  no  children. 

The  engagement  between  Benjamin  Ruggles  and  Tirzah  Alvord 
was  of  several  years  standing.  It  was  understood  that  after  he 
should  become  a  full-fledged  lawyer,  he  would  go  into  the  western 
country  to  practice,  make  a  home  and  return  for  his  bride-to-be. 
Tirzah  Alvord  was  a  very  beautiful  girl.  Her  memory  was  long 
and  fondly  cherished  by  her  husband  and  children.

son  of  Richard  and  Mellicent  (Merrill)  Deming.  He  was  born

a  clerk  in  the  P.  O.  Department  at  Washington,  D.  C.  His  resi- 
dence was  at  the  corner  of  Ninth  and  G  Streets.  A  short  time  pre- 
vious to  his  death  he  took  a  trip  west  for  his  health,  and  was  feeling 
much  benefitted,  but  was  suddenly  taken  with  a  severe  cold  which 
settled  on  his  lungs.  He  hastened  to  his  home  in  Washington  and 
died  soon  after  his  arrival.  He  was  a  man  of  amiable  Christian 
character.  After  Mr.  Deming's  death  his  wadow  returned  to  Bol- 
ton and  made  her  home  with  her  maiden  sister,  Eleanor  xA.lvord.  She 
died  very  suddenly. 

Mrs.  Clark  of  Springfield,  Mass.,  daughter  of  Rev.  Lavius  Hyde, 
remembers  seeing  Mr.  Deming  once,  and  her  recollection  is  that  he 
was  a  man  of  very  fine  appearance.  She  also  says  that  Mrs.  Dem- 
ing's visits  in  Bolton  from  Washington  would  "call  out  an  excess 
of  social  gaities  and  an  emulation  to  copy  the  fashions  she  brought."

Mr.  Buckingham  in  early  life  was  apprenticed  to  the  printer's 
trade,  which  was  the  great  object  of  his  young  desire.  He  began 
at  what  was  then  a  somewhat  celebrated  printing  office  in  Walpole, 
N.  H.,  where  he  commenced  his  noviciate  in  1796.  He  afterwards 
pursued  his  vocation  in  Greenfield,  Mass.,  and  in  1799  he  came  to 
Boston,  a  youthful,  unknown  and  friendless  adventurer.  After 
some  experience  as  a  journeyman  printer  he  commenced  the  publi-

cation  of  the  New  England  Galaxy,  a  weekly  journal  which  under 
his  auspices  with  almost  the  single  aid  of  his  talent  and  industry 
reached  the  highest  rank  and  the  largest  circulation  of  any  secular 
journal  of  that  day,  and  wielded  more  influence  than  any  similar 
journal  has  ever  attained  in  this  country.     The  paper  had  also  the 
supplementary  title  of  Masonic  Magazine,  as  Mr.  Buckingham  was 
an  early  member  of  the  Masonic  fraternity.     He  was  the  originator 
of  the  Boston  Courier,  the  first  number  of  which  he  published  Mar. 
2,  1827.     He  continued  its  publication  with  much  favor  and  success, 
though  not  with  great  profit  until  1848,  when  from  political  reasons 
he  retired  from  newspaper  publication,  and  finally  left  his  long  oc- 
cupied  editorial   chair,   though   he   continued   to   write   for   various 
journals  after  that  time.    In  1831,  in  connection  with  his  son  Edwin, 
Mr.  Buckingham  commenced  the  publication  of  the  New  England 
Magazine,  a  monthly  periodical  of  much  literary  ability ;  but  the  en- 
terprise was  discontinued  two  years  afterwards,  as  he  had  no  heart 
to  continue  it  after  the  death  of  his  much  loved  coadjutor.    He  was 
a  member  of  the  Mass.  House  of  Reps,  from  Boston  and  from  Cam- 
bridge.    He  was  also  Senator  from  Middlesex  Co.  for  two  years. 
He  was  Pres.  of  the  Mass.  Charitable  Mechanic  Ass.  for  many  years, 
and  during  his  presidency  the  Mass.  Mechanic  Ass.  took  up  the 
business  of  finishing  the  Bunker  Hill  Monument,  which  at  that  time 
was  only  a  heap  of  stones  upon  an  open  field.    To  no  man  more  than 
to  Joseph  T.  Buckingham  belongs  the  credit  of  raising  and  finishing 
the  Bunker  Hill  Monument.

where  the  ground  was  literally  covered  with  the  dead.  He  was  in

a  number  of  bullets  passed  through  his  clothes  and  hat,  and  he  was 
only  slightly  wounded.  He  endured  long  marches  and  at  times  on

Barnes.     Daniel  Alvord  and  other  members  of  the  Ahvord  family 
were  buried  in  the  family  plot  on  the  farm. 

]Mrs.  Pamelia  (Sackett)  Alvord  v.dien  a  girl  of  thirteen  was 
taken  captive  by  the  Indians.  The  full  account  of  the  captivity 
was  printed  in  the  Lockport  Journal,  Nov.,  1851,  written  by  her 
daughter,  Mrs.  Adaiine  (Alvord)  Barnes.  The  following  are  es- 
sential features : 

"The  young  girl  was  living  in  the  family  of  a  Mr.  St.  John  for  the  pur- 
pose of  attending  school,  as  her  own  parents  resided  some  miles  away  in  the 
almost  unbroken  wilderness.  Mr.  St.  John's  home  was  about  one  mile  east 
of  Lewiston  and  he  was  rated  as  a  prosperous  trader.  On  the  morning  of 
Dec.  19,  1813,  out  of  revenge  for  the  burning  of  Newark  by  the  American 
Gen.  McClure,  the  British  and  their  Indian  allies  made  a  combined  attack 
and  captured  Ft.  Niagara  and  Lewiston.  Mr.  St.  John  hearing  the  firing 
left  the  house  to  ascertain  the  cause  and,  if  necessary,  procure  safety  for  his 
family.  He  failed  to  return,  but  a  neighbor's  family  that  passed  the  house 
fleeing  from  the  enemy,  informed  them  that  the  indians  were  approaching. 
Pamelia  went  down  the  road  a  short  distance  on  the  chance  that  she  might 
discover  Mr.  St.  John,  but  she  found  the  road  lined  with  savages.  The  chief 
rushed  toward  her  with  uplifted  tomahawk  to  make  her  prisoner.  Pamelia 
started  to  run  away.  A  stern  command  from  ]\Irs.  St.  John,  however,  caused 
her  to  halt  and  give  herself  up.  The  Indian  seemed  on  the  point  of  killing 
her,  when  a  young  chief  in  half  English  dress,  supposed  to  have  been  John 
Brant,  rushed  up,  gave  a  word  of  command,  then  dashed  away.  After  plun- 
dering the  house,  the  Indians  conveyed  Pam.elia  and  the  St.  John  children 
to  Lewiston  where  the  former  v.-as  delivered  from  her  Indian  captor  through 
the  firmness  of  the  British  Capt.  Bandor.  In  the  prison-house  she  found  Mr. 
St.  John,  who  had  been  previously  captured.  After  three  days  all  the  prison- 
ers were  taken  over  to  the  Canadian  side,  where  they  were  detained  for  three 
weeks,  and  treated  with  the  utmost  kindness.  The  male  prisoners  were  then 
taken  to  Montreal  and  the  women  and  children  allowed  to  return  to  their 
desolated  homes.  A  Mrs.  Pitcher  led  the  little  band,  numbering  thirty-three 
souls.  On  their  return  while  passing  the  night  in  great  fear  in  a  deserted  inn, 
they  v/ere  met  by  Mr.  Pitcher,  his  brother  and  Mrs.  Seeley.  By  them  they 
were  conducted  to  a  fort  where  an  American  Regiment  was  stationed  and 
safety  v/as  assured.  Many  years  after  when  Captain  Bandor  was  in  com- 
mand of  a  British  garrison  in  Canada  he  took  special  pains  to  inquire 
after  the  welfare  of  his  former  protege."

General  Benjamin  Alvord  served  for  fifty-two  years  on  the  active 
list  of  the  United  States  Army,  passing  through  all  the  grades  from 
Cadet  to  Brigadier  General.  Participated  in  the  Florida  and  Mexi- 
can wars,  the  war  of  the  Rebellion,  as  well  as  various  Indian  Cam- 
paigns, and  was  brevetted  successively  Captain,  Major,  Lieutenant, 
Colonel,  and  Brigadier  General,  for  gallantry  in  action. 

He  was  appointed  a  cadet  at  the  United  States  Military  Academy 
in  1829,  graduated  July,  1833,  and  was  commissioned  on  that  date  a 
Brevet  2d  Lieutenant  in  the  4th  U.  S.  Infantry.  Joining  his  regi- 
ment in  the  field  in  Florida  he  served  with  it  for  two  years  against 
the  Seminole  Indians,  being  engaged  in  several  Campaigns  and  was 
then  sent  back  to  West  Point  for  a  period  of  two  years  as  assistant 
Professor  of  Mathematics  and  Principal  Assistant  Professor  of 
Natural  and  Experimental  Philosophy. 

From  1839  until  the  beginning  of  the  Mexican  War  in  1846,  Mr. 
Alvord  was  with  his  regiment  on  the  frontier  in  Arkansas  and  the 
Indian  Territory,  again  in  Florida,  where  he  participated  in  an  ex- 


226  Alvokd  Genealogy 

and  in  various  skirmishes  in  Texas  and  in  Louisiana.  While  he  was 
pedition  against  "Billy  Bowlegs"  in  the  Big  Cypress  Swamp  (1841) 
com.manding  his  company  at  Camp  Salubrity,  La.,  in  1844,  Brevet 
2d  Lieut.  Ulysses  S.  Grant  joined  the  company  as  2d  Lieutenant. 

At  the  outbreak  of  the  Mexican  War  the  4th  Infantry  was  sent 
from  Louisiana  to  the  Mexican  border,  where  it  was  engaged  at 
Palo  Alto  and  Resaca  de  la  Palma,  May  8  and  9,  1846,  for  gallant 
and  meritorious  services,  in  which  battles,  Alvord  was  brevetted 
Captain.  His  services  during  the  remainder  of  the  war  gained  him 
the  brevet  of  Major  "for  gallant  and  meritorious  conduct  in  several 
aitairs  with  Guerrileros  at  Paso  Ovejis,  National  Bridge,  and  Cerro 
Gordo,  Mex.,"  and  he  remained  with  the  army  of  General  Scott  on 
the  Vera  Cruz,  Mexico  line  until  the  close  of  the  war. 

From  1848  to  1852  he  served  with  his  regiment  at  East  Pascagon- 
la,  Miss.,  and  Fort  Gratiot,  Mich.,  and  in  1852  accompanied  the  regi- 
ment on  a  voyage  from  New  York  City  to  San  Francisco  by  way 
of  the  Isthmus  of  Panama.  During  the  next  two  years  he  was  sta- 
tioned at  various  posts  in  California,  Oregon  and  Washington  Ter., 
and  in  1854,  while  at  Fort  Vancouver,  Washington  Ter.,  was  ap- 
pointed a  IMajor  and  Paymaster,  LT.  S.  Army.  When  the  war  of  the 
Rebellion  began  Alvord,  being  still  on  the  Pacific  Coast,  was  appoint- 
ed a  Brigadier  General  of  Volunteers  (April  15,  1862)  and  assigned 
to  command  of  the  Northwest  district,  embracing  the  states  of  Idaho 
and  Oregon  and  the  territory  of  Washington.  There  he  remained 
until  1865,  when,  being  ordered  to  report  to  General  Grant  at  Peters- 
burg, he  sailed  via  Panama  to  New  York,  arriving  after  the  close  of 
the  war. 

While  commanding  in  the  Northwest  he  several  times  put  down 
Indian  uprisings.  These  campaigns,  occurring  during  the  great 
Civil  War,  attracted  no  attention  and  possessed  no  interest  to  any  but 
the  participants  and  the  people  of  that  distant  region.  General 
Alvord  v.-as  warmly  thanked,  however,  by  the  Governors  and  people 
for  these  services  and  also  received  from  the  government  his  remain- 
ing brevets  for  "faithful  and  meritorious  services  during  the  Re- 
bellion." 

Resigning  his  Volunteer  Commission,  he  served  from  1865  to  1867 
as  Chief  Paymaster  at  New  York  City,  and  from  1867  to  1872  as 
Chief  Paymaster,  Department  of  the  Missouri  at  Omaha,  Nebraska, 
from  which  station  in   1872  he  was  transferred  to  Washington  as

Sixth  Generation  227 

Paymaster  General  of  the  Army  under  appointment  frcip.  Prssi- 
dent  Grant. 

Upon  General  Alvord's  retirement  from,  active  service  June  8, 
1880,  General  Willidm  T.  Sherman  used  the  following  language  in  a 
general  order  to  the  army : 

"At  his  own  request,  Brigadier  General  Alvord,  Paymaster  Gen- 
eral, U.  S.  Armv,  is,  by  direction  of  the  President,  placed  on  the 
retired  list,  under  section  1243,  Revised  Statutes." 

"In  the  course  of  this  long  period  General  Alvord  has  filled  nearly 
every  grade  in  the  army  from  Brevet  2d  Lieutenant  to  Brigadier 
General  with  honor  to  him.self  and  credit  to  the  service.  In  the  field 
against  hostile  Indians,  in  the  war  with  Mexico,  in  command  on  the 
North  Pacific  Coast  during  the  last  war,  and  as  a  subordinate  and 
then  Chief  of  the  Pay  Department,  he  has  always  been  found  a  true, 
reliable  and  upright  soldier  and  gentleman.  In  his  retirement  Gen- 
eral Alvord  v/ill  find  leisure  to  enjoy  the  cultivated  tastes  which  ever 
in  the  press  of  public  business  have  proved  to  him  a  recreation  and 
a  resource." 

General  Alvord  took  great  interest  in  science  and  literature  and 
w^as  a  w^orking  niem.ber  in  several  literary  and  scientific  societies.- 
Pie  was  the  author  of  a  Geometrical  Memoir  in  "The  Tangencies  of 
Circles  and  Spheres,"  published  in  the  Smithsonian  Contributions  to 
Knowledge,  Vol.  A^III,  1855 ;  a  sequel  to  the  same,  "The  Intersec= 
tions  of  Circles  and  of  Spheres,"  in  the  American  Journal  of  Mathe- 
matics, Vol.  V,  1882 ;  "The  Interpretation  of  Imaginary  Roots  in 
Questions  of  3.iaxima  and  Minima"  in  the  Mathematical  Monthly, 
1860;  papers  on  the  "Compass  Plant"  in  Vol.  II,  Proceedings  of 
American  Association  for  the  advancement  of  science,  1849,  and  the 
A.merican  Naturalist  for  August,  1882 ;  "On  Winter  Grazing  in  the 
PvOcky  Mountains,"  Bulletin  of  the  American  Geographical  Society, 
1883 ;  and  of  numerous  essays  and  reviev/s,  1833-82.  The  degree  of 
A..  ?>I.  was  conferred  upon  him  by  the  University  of  Vermont  in 
1854. 

General  Alvord  was  a  man  of  exceptional  ability  and  character. 
He  had  at  all  times  the  confidence  and  respect  of  his  superiors  in 
the  army,  of  his  literary  and  scientific  associates  and  of  a  wide  circle 
of  friends  throughout  the  United  States.  Trained  as  a  soldier  and 
distinguished  in  his  profession,  he  was  also  a  scholar  and  writer  of 
repute  and  a  niathcmatician  of  a  high  order.  In  personal  character 
he  was  honest  to  a  fault,  as  pure-minded  as  a  child  and  a  consistent

"The  trip  from  Northampton  to  Painesville,  O.,  where  we  stopped  for  the 
winter,  was  made  v.holl}'  by  horse  and  wagon  and  ox-team.  It  occupied  six 
weeks.  The  road  was  quite  good  most  of  the  way,  but  from  Painesville  to 
Hinckley  it  lay  through  the  forest,  marked  only  by  chopped  trees.  At  the 
taverns  where  we  stopped  for  the  night  we  had  to  furnish  our  own  beds, 
making  them  up  on  the  floor,  and  also  do  our  own  cooking  in  the  common 
kitchen.     No  exciting  incidents."

Joseph  Dana  Alvord  was  a  mechanical  genius.  He  learned  the 
trade  of  a  pattern-maker  at  Chicopee,  Mass.,  and  showed  great  skill 
in  the  construction  of  tools  and  fire-arms.  He  was,  therefore,  em- 
ployed in  the  armory  at  Springfield,  Mass.,  for  eight  years.  From 
Springfield  he  went  to  Hartford,  Conn.,  and  took  a  contract  with 
his  friend,  James  Wilson,  in  the  Sharp's  Rifle  Co.,  in  which  he  so 
much  increased  his  reputation  as  a  skillful  mechanic  that  the  Wheeler 
&  Wilson  Sewing  Machine  Co.,  of  Bridgeport,  Conn.,  offered 
Messrs.  Alvord  and  Wilson  a  contract  to  manufacture  certain  parts 
of  their  sewing  machine.  This  led  to  his  removal  to  Bridgeport 
about  the  year  1857,  Mr.  Alvord  continued  with  the  company  until 
his  death,  having  at  times  several  hundred  men  under  him  and  hold- 
ing a  very  lucrative  position.  He  was  unquestionably  more  essential 
to  the  success  of  the  company  than  any  other  mechanic  in  its  employ. 
Of  a  generous  disposition  by  nature,  Mr.  Alvord  indulged  freely  in 
benevolences  and  kindly  acts.     He  treated  everyone  with  gentleness

and  respect,  never  with  the  assumption  of  superiority.  At  the  time 
of  his  death  he  was  regarded  as  one  of  the  leading  citizens  of  Bridge- 
port and  his  funeral  was  very  largely  attended.

Eliphaz  Bissell). 

Eliphaz  S.  Alvord  was  a  man  of  unimpeachable  character  and  it 
was  said  of  him  that  his  word  was  as  good  as  a  bond,  when  a  young 
man,  he  injured  his  back  so  that  he  was  compelled  to  use  a  cane  in 
walking,  and  therefore  was  able  to  do  no  heavy  work.  For  m.any 
years  he  sold  books  and  engaged  a  man  to  go  around  the  country  in 
a  wagon  made  specially  for  this  purpose.  He  was  ver}-  careful  in 
small  matters  both  morally  and  financially,  so  that  at  times  be  w^as 
called  "close."  But  he  showed  great  foresight  in  his  investments.  He 
was  one  of  the  first  to  invest  in  the  Lake  Shore  and  ]\lich.  Southern 
Ry.,  though  he  was  called  "a  fool"  for  putting  money  in  a  road  that 
ran  beside  the  lake. 

Mr.  Alvord  was  strictly  patriotic,  and  took  great  interest  in  the 
affairs  of  the  country.  When  news  came  that  Gen.  Lee  had  sur- 
rendered, he  drove  through  the  town  wdth  lines  in  one  hand  and  din- 
ner-bell in  the  other,  ringing  it  with  all  his  strength.  He  had  also 
put  sleigh-bells  on  his  horse. 

Withal  he  had  a  keen  application  of  humor,  and  enjoyed  immense- 
ly a  joke,  even  when  it  was  turned  upon  himself. 

His  widow-  married  a  Mr.  Alalty  of  Madison,  O.

*  Russell  Buckland  and  Fanny  Waters  mar.  Sept.  6,  1812  (So.  Ch. 
Rec.  Hartford).  Children  of  Coridon  A.  Alvord  do  not  know  name 
of  grandfather  Buckland,  but  say  their  grandmother's  name  was 
Betsey  Waters.    The  parents  given  are  probably  correct. 

Coridon  Alexis  Alvord  was  deeply  interested  in  the  publication  of 
a  geneaology  of  the  Alvord  family.  For  his  part  in  the  work,  see 
preface.  No  better  sketch  of  his  life  could  be  secured  by  the  author 
than  the  following  which  is  from  Appleton's  Cyclopaedia  of  Ameri- 
can Biography: 

"He  learned  his  trade  in   Hartford   and   in   1845   removed  to   New   York, 


Seventh  Generation  279 

where  he  made  a  specialtj^  of  printing  illustrated  books,  gaining  a  high 
reputation.  His  establishment  on  Vandewater  St.,  was  one  of  the  most  ex- 
tensive in  the  country.  Among  its  features  were  fonts  of  ancient  and 
oriental  letters,  together  with  fonts  of  old  style  type,  which  enabled  him 
to  make  reprints  or  fac-similies  of  old  books  and  newspapers.  There  were 
monster  vaults  deep  under  ground  and  extending  under  adjacent  buildings, 
forming  a  series  of  immense  storage  rooms,  guarded  by  thick  walls  and 
iron  doors,  as  thoroughly  protected  as  the  treasury  vaults.  These  were  for 
the  storage  of  stereotype  plates  and  valuable  engravings.  He  began  a  re- 
print of  the  old  records  of  the  citj'  of  New  York,  but  the  work  was  not 
finished  owing  to  changes  in  the  recorder's  office.  In  the  reproduction  of 
old  books  and  papers,  he  succeeded  in  copying  the  discolorations  made  by 
age  in  a  remarkable  degree.  He  was  an  active  member  of  the  typographical 
society  and  president  of  the  typothetae.  He  acquired  a  competence  which 
was  subsequently  lost  through  the  misconduct  of  others.  In  1871  he  retired 
from  business,  went  to  Hartford,  and  devoted  his  remaining  years  to  the 
preparation  of  a  local  history  of  Hartford  and  Winchester."

ov/ned  eighty  acres  of  land  on  the  North  shore  of  Lake  Minnetonke, 
in  what  was  then  called  "Big  Woods,"  but  it  is  now  covered  with 
summer  hotels  and  cottages.  The  same  year  he  returned  to  111.  and

old  place.  In  ]\Iay  1860  he  w^ent  to  Kansas  as  Baptist  Missionary.

church,  among  whom  was  William  Nelson  Alvord,  son  of  Nelson 
Alvord.  The  country  was  swarming  with  guerrillas  and  twice  they 
climbed  to  the  windows  and  awaited  the  order  of  their  leader  to  shoot 
the  wounded  soldiers.  It  was  chiefly  through  the  entreaties  of  Chap- 
lain Alvord,  the  doctors  and  a  Catholic  priest  that  the  order  was  not 
given.  Mr.  Alvord  went  by  night  through  the  country,  reached 
Federal  authorities,  and  so  secured  relief  for  the  soldiers.  liis

Rev.  John  Watson  Alvord  was  educated  in  the  common  schools 
of  Winsted,  Conn.,  helping  himself  by  teaching  in  various  winter 
schools  until  he  was  twenty  v/ears  of  age.  In  1828  he  went  to  Hart- 
ford, Conn.,  and  filled  several  positions  of  trust  with  a  leading  mer- 
chant there,  becoming  an  active  member  of  the  North  Church. 

He  then  turned  his  attention  to  the  ministry,  entering  Lane  Semi- 
nary near  Cincinnati,  and  graduated  from  the  Theological  school  at 


286  Al\okd  Gkxealogy 

Oberlin  with  its  first  class  in  1836.  Later  he  received  a  degree  from 
Yale  University. 

He  was  prominent  in  the  Anti-Slavery  movement  and  lectured 
throng-hout  northern  Ohio,  while  he  was  a  settled  pastor  at  Maumee 
City.  He  then  went  to  New  York  City  and  attended  a  course  of  med- 
ical lectures  preparatory  to  his  chosen  life  v/ork  as  missionary  to 
Africa. 

A  severe  illness  nearly  cost  him  his  life  at  this  time  an^l  prevented 
any  fulfillment  of  these  plans.  He  was  obliged  to  go  to  St. 
Augustine,  Florida,  for  his  health  and  undertook  some  religious 
work  among  the  negroes  there  until  he  was  able  to  return  North, 
Vv'here  he  preached  for  two  years  at  the  Cong,  church  in  Barkhamp- 
sted,  Conn.  A  powerful  revival  followed  this  effort,  and  in  1842 
he  became  pastor  associate  of  the  Congregational  church  in  Stam- 
ford, Conn.  Here  he  was  married  to  Myrtilla  M.  Peck  of  Green- 
wich, Conn.,  in  1845,  and  then  assumed  full  pastorate  until  1846 
when  h^  was  called  to  Phillips  Church,  South  Boston,  Mass. 

In  1857  his  failing  health  sent  him  to  Russia  and  northern  Europe 
for  a  six  months  tour,  and  he  was  obliged  to  resign  in  1852  and  seek 
open  air  employment  at  the  Custom  House  in  Boston  for  the  next 
year  and  a  half,  when  he  became  Secretary  of  the  American  Tract 
Society  in  Boston. 

Here  he  took  an  active  part  in  the  Anti-Slavery  discussions  which 
arose  between  the  two  Societies  in  New  York  and  Boston,  and  liter- 
ature was  prepared  on  this  subject  under  his  direction. 

When  the  Civil  War  broke  out  in  18()1.,  Mr.  Alvord  went  to  the 
front  at  once  and  arranged  a  system  of  distribution  by  which  books 
and  papers  issued  expressly  for  soldiers  could  be  sent  to  every  regi- 
ment of  the  Army  of  the  Potomac.  He  also  dispensed  hospital 
stores,  caring  for  wounded  soldiers  and  holding  religious  services 
until  the  Christian  and  Sanitary  Commissions  were  formed,  wdien  he 
cooperated  with  these  organizations,  having  his  headquarters  mainly 
with  Gen.  O.  O.  Howard  until  the  close  of  the  war.  Special  facili- 
ties were  offered  him  by  the  Government  and,  when  the  army  of 
Gen  Sherman  reached  Savannah,  Mr.  Alvord  organized  ten  schools 
for  freedmen  as  a  beginning  of  this  important  work. 

In  1865  he  organized  a  National  Savings  Bank  for  the  freedmen, 
w^hich  had  branches  throughout  the  South,  and  he  subsequently  be- 
came its  president. 

In  1866  he  was  appointcvl  supt.  of  schools  under  the  Freedmen's

Bureau  and  the  following  year  was  appointed  general  supt.  of 
schools  for  freedmen,  which  placed  the  whole  educational  work  of 
the  Bureau  under  his  care. 

He  was  also  a  trustee  of  the  Freedmen's  Savings  and  Trust  Co. 
and  a  trustee  of  the  National  Soldiers'  and  Sailor's  Orphan  Home. 

JNIr.  Alvord's  long  life  was  devoted  to  the  uplift  of  his  fellow  men. 
Humanity  and  its  problems  always  commanded  his  first  and  most 
earnest  attention.  Life  was  to  him  an  oportunity  to  "go  about  doing 
good."  The  accumulation  of  w^ealth,  the  acquisition  of  position  or 
honors  never  seemed  to  appeal  to  him,  except  as  a  means  which  he 
used  freely  in  the  larger  cause  of  humanity,  to  which  he  early  dedi- 
cated his  life  and  effort.  (Written  by  his  son,  John  W.  Alvord,  of 
Chicago,  111.)

Ransom  Pratt  was  for  nearly  thirty  years  a  leading  business  man 
of  Elmira,  X.  Y.     During  that  time  he  was  instrumental  in  much 


208  ALvokn  (Ienealogy 

that  t^ocs  to  ni?.ke  up  tlie  present  prosperity  of  tlie  city.  In  com- 
pany with  his  brother,  Daniel,  he  went  to  Ehnira  in  1842  and  pur- 
chased a  water  privilege  on  Newton  Creek  (the  present  site  of  the 
Woolen  Mill).  They  established  a  cloth  dressing,  wool  carding  and 
small  woolen  manufacturing  business  company,  which  they  ran 
until  Feb.  1848,  when  their  mill  vv-as  burned. 

In  the  summer  of  the  same  year  the  business  w^as  resumed  by  an 
organization  known  as  the  Elmira  Woolen  Manufacturing  Co.,  of 
which  the  brothers  were  the  principal  stockholders  and  managers. 

The  mills  soon  entered  upon  a  most  prosperous  existence.  Dif- 
ficulties there  were  to  be  surmounted,  but  the  sagacity  and  thorough- 
ly practical  knowdedge  of  the  brothers  were  equal  to  all  emergencies. 
The  foundations  were  laid  deep  and  strong  for  a  prosperity  which 
in  time  was  more  than  amply  realized,  and  in  later  life  threw  around 
the  homes  of  the  brothers  all  the  luxury  and  comforts  that  flow  from 
wealth  and  cultured  tastes. 

On  the  1st  of  April,  1868,  there  was  another  change  in  the  busi- 
ness organization  of  the  mills.  The  mill  and  machinery  of  the  El- 
mira Woolen  Mfg.  Co.  became  the  property  of  a  corporation,  in 
which  the  Pratts  and  Dundas  were  the  principal  stockholders,  and 
the  business  has  since  been  under  the  name  of  the  Clinton  Woolen 
Mills.  The  Messrs.  Pratt  were  the  first  to  introduce  the  power 
loom  and  card  condensing  machines  into  this  country.  At  the  time 
of  his  death  Mr.  Pratt  was  President  of  the  Clinton  Woolen  Mills 
Co.,  a  director  in  the  2nd  National  Bank,  and  in  company  with  his 
son-in-law,  Alderman  Reynolds,  largely  engaged  in  the  pork  trade. 
Prominent  in  every  public  enterprise,  having  at  heart  the  best  inter- 
ests of  the  city  in  which  he  dwelt,  and  for  wdiose  advancement  he 
did  so  much,  he  was  also  ever  solicitous  for  its  moral  and  com- 
mercial progress. 

Mrs.  Sarah  ( Alvord)  P'ratt  lived  a  singularly  useful  and  beautiful 
life.  During  her  youth  the  family  moved  to  Schuyler,  N.  Y.,  and 
there  she  was  married  to  Ransom  Pratt.  The  young  cotU'lc  resided 
for  a  brief  time  in  Havanna,  N.  Y.,  and  then  came  to  Ehuira,  >v'iere 
for  more  than  forty-five  years  she  lived  a  life  that  made  her  known 
and  beloved  by  a  large  circle  of  acquaintances  and  friends.  Early 
connecting  herself  with  the  1st  Presbyterian  Church  during  the 
pastorate  of  Rev.  Dr.  Fowler,  she  was,  so  long  as  she  was  able,  a 
regular  attendant  upon  its  services  and  a  faithful  worker  in  its 
ranks.     Nor  :'id  her  interest  cease  with  inability  to  longer  attend 


Sev^enth  Generation  299 

upon  its  services  to  the  end.  Its  welfare  was  to  her  a  matter  of 
ever  present  concern,  and  in  the  larger  affairs  of  her  chosen  church 
she  ever  felt  a  lively  interest. 

As  w'as  to  be  expected  of  one  who  possessed  such  broad  sym- 
pathies, her  interest  extended  to  every  good  work,  and  her  more 
than  ordinary  good  sense,  her  ready  hand  and  generous  purse  were 
open  to  every  worthy  philanthropic  object  within  the  bounds  of  her 
adopted  cit\-. 

Prominent  among  those  who  enlisted  her  ready  cooperation  was 
the  Southern  Pier  Orphan's  Home.  From  its  inception  she  was 
identified  with  it,  and  from  1872-1883  she  occupied  consecutively 
the  offices  of  trustee,  vice-president  and  president,  being  president 
from  1876-1883,  and  then  only  giving  it  up  because  warned  by  ap- 
proaching disease. 

But  even  this  short  allusion  to  facts  well  known  to  those  v^•ho 
labored  with  her,  does  not  tell  the  whole  story  of  her  useful  life. 
She  was  not  a  demonstrative  woman.  What  her  right  hand  did  was 
not  known  to  her  left.  Pier  good  works  were  largely  private  in  their 
character  as  they  were  innumerable  and  constant,  and  only  where 
the  secret  deeds  of  life  are  revealed  shall  we  know  with  accuracy 
the  amount  of  her  unostentatious  giving.  The  fortitude  with  which 
she  bore  her  deprivation  and  pain,  and  the  faith  with  which  she 
looked  forward  to  the  future,  were  only  other  evidences  of  that  noble 
character  which  everyone,  who  came  in  contact  with  her,  was  com- 
pelled to  award  her.

"I  enlisted  in  Co.  E,   5th  Conn.   Infantry,  at  Hartford,  June  4, 


Seventh  Generation  303 

1861 ;  was  mustered  into  the  U.  S.  service,  July  22,  1861,  and  left 
Hartford,  Conn.,  for  the  front  July  29.  The  5th  Regiment  joined 
Gen.  Banks'  command  at  Sandy  Hook,  X.  J.,  Aug.  1,  1861.  During 
the  first  year  we  did  guard  duty  along  the  Potomac  River  from 
Darnestown,  Md.,  to  Hancock,  Md. 

"IVlar.  1,  1862,  we  crossed  the  Potomac  and  on  the  22nd  we  were 
in  the  first  fight  at  Winchester,  Va.,  on  the  25tli  with  Banks  on  his 
retreat  up  the  Shenandoah  Valley.     We  were  fighting  for  over  two 
hours  in  the  morning  and  then  marched  fortv-five  miles  and  crossed 
the  Potomac  River  into  Aid.  at  Dunn's  Ferry,  a  fev>-  miles  below 
Williamsport,  on  an  old  swing  ferry.     Before  two  o'clock  in  the 
morning  at  the  battle  of  Cedar  Mountain,  Va.,  on  the  9th  of  Aug., 
1862,  in  a  charge  on  the  rebels,  I  was  wounded  twice;  in  the  left 
knee  by  a  piece  of  shell,  and  in  the  left  hip  by  a  buck  shot.     I  was 
taken  prisoner  and  was  confined  one  month  in  Libby  Prison  and  two 
months  in  Belle  Isle.    After  this  I  was  paroled  and  taken  to  Annap- 
olis, Md..  from  there  to  Parell  Camp,  near  Alexandria,  \'a.,  until  I 
v>as  exchanged.     I  then  joined  my  regiment  at  Frederick.  Md.     In 
September  1863  the  11th  and  12th  Army  Corps  were  consolidated 
into  the  20th  Corps,  and  the  5th  Regiment  was  transferred  to  the 
Army  of  the  Cumberland.     Here  I  was  in  the  fight  at  Lookout  Mt., 
then  guarded  the  R.  R.  at  Cowan  and  the  coal  mines  at  Tracy  Cit}', 
Tenn.,   on   the    Cumberland    Alts.      On   the    5th    of   Jan.,    1864,    at 
Tracy  City,  I  enlisted  with  others  and  had  a  thirty  days'  furlong  in 
the  state,     \\dien  I  returned  to  the  regiment  we  advanced  toward 
Atlanta.  Ga.,  and  we  were  at  the   siege  of  that  place  in  August. 
The  Union  troops  entered  the  city  September  2,  1864,  and  the  Sth 
Conn,  was  the  first  regiment  to  march  into  the  city. 

"We  were  with  Sherman  on  his  march  from  Atlanta  to  the  Sea. 
I  was  at  the  siege  of  Savannah  in  Dec.  We  entered  that  city  on 
the  23rd  of  Dec,  1864.  The  last  engagement  that  I  was  in  was 
Aversboro  and  Silver  Run,  N.  C,  both  the  same  day,  Mar.  16, 
1865. 

"After  Lee's  surrender,  we  marched  to  Washington,  arriving  there 
the  19th  of  Alay.  The  total  distance  marched  from  Savannah  to 
Washington  (taken  from  my  diary  from  day  to  da}')  was  seven 
hundred  and  fifty  miles.  Our  regiment  participated  in  the  grand 
review  at  Washington,  Alay  24,  1865,  and  was  mustered  out  of  ser- 
vice July  19,  1865,  at  Alexandria,  Va.  I  arrived  at  Hartford,  Conn., 
with  the  regiment  July  23,  1865.

herited her  mother's  taste  for  literature.  They  united  in  impressing 
upon  their  children  the  importance  of  education.  Even  in  her  old 
age,  Mrs.  Ware  could  quote  from  the  Bible  and  familiar  poems  at 
great  length.  Mr.  Ware  stood  as  a  model  of  courtesy,  and  was

"He  had  run  away  from  home,  going  to  Ohio,  and  his  own  people  never 
learned  what  became  of  him.  A  number  of  years  after,  when  now  a  young 
man,  he  was  sent  to  drive  some  cattle  to  N.  Y.  State.  He  passed  in  sight  of 
his  old  home  and  looked  upon  it  with  longing  eyes,  but  his  pride  kept  him 
from  going  to  the  house  and  making  himself  known."

Anson  Perry  went  to  Mo.  in  1846  with  his  wife  and  six  children. 
They  traveled  by  means  of  canal  boats,  river  packets  and  wagons. 
They  found  a  home  in  Caldwell  Co.,  where  the  parents  continued  to 
live  the  remainder  of  their  lives.  The  country  at  that  time  being 
new  and  sparsely  settled,  many  of  the  comforts  and  advantages  of 
their  former  home  were  lacking.  Some  of  the  more  enterprising  of 
the  parents  united  in  making  a  school,  which  was  held  in  a  private 
house  or  log  cabin,  built  by  their  combined  efforts.  There  were 
no  markets  for  such  products  as  butter  and  eggs,  and  fatted  stock 
m.ust  needs  be  driven  forty  miles  to  the  Missouri  River  for  shipment. 
It  is  a  matter  of  tradition  that  when  a  Missourian  went  to  his  N.  Y. 
neighbor  for  butter,  he  took  a  jug  in  which  to  carry  it  home.  Their 
farming,  however,  was  on  such  a  large  scale,  that  it  excited  the 
wonder  of  their  friends  and  relatives  left  behind.  Their  first  house 
was  of  logs,  then  a  frame  house  with  three  rooms  was  built,  the 
material  for  the  furnishings  being  hauled  from  a  point  forty  miles 
distant ;  shingles  and  weather  boards  were  made  for  the  most  part 
by  Mr.  Perry  himself.  Anson  Perry  was  a  man  of  strictest  integrity 
and  hisfh  moral  bearinp-.  As  an  illustration  of  his  contempt  for  the 
disoluteness  of  men,  it  is  said  that  at  one  time  finding  a  neighbor

on  a  drunken  spree  who  was  about  to  return  again  to  the  saloon, 
he  paddled  him  well  and  commanded  him  to  go  home  to  his  family. 
His  wife  was  the  literary  member  of  the  family,  reading  everything 
that  she  could  obtain.  That  she  was  well  versed  in  ancient  and 
medieval  history  is  evidenced  by  the  names  of  her  children.

bought  of  Thomas  Gould  Alvord.  Mr.  Hull  was  injured  while  as- 
sisting in  the  raising  of  Chauncey  Morgan's  barn. 

Charlotte  (Alvord)  Hull  had  all  the  characteristics  of  the  best  and 
strictest  Puritans  of  New  England.  After  her  removal  to  Caldwell 
Co.,  Mo.,  she  abhorred  the  customary  Sunday  visiting  among  neigh-

The  effect  of  her  severe  training  is  felt  even  to-day  among  her  de- 
scendants and  they  honor  her  for  it.

Elijah  M.  Bissell  was  engaged  in  business  in  the  west  so  it  hap- 
pened that  his  children  were  for  the  most  part  in  their  grandparents 
family  in  Pittsfield,  Mass.  After  Mr.  Eissell's  death  his  widow  resid- 
ed for  a  time  in  Lansingburg,  N.  Y.,  but  on  the  death  of  her  brother's 
(Thomas  Gould  Alvord)  wife,  she  went  to  Syracuse  to  care  for 
his  children,  with  her  own.  She  was  a  woman  of  high  ideals  and  un- 
usual attainments.  In  early  life  she  was  a  pupil  of  I^.irs.  Emma 
Willard.  The  climate  of  Syracuse  proving  unfavorable  to  her  health, 
she  removed  to  Cincinnati  in  1876,  where  her  sons  were  in  business.

Gold  Alvord.  He  attended  the  then  famous  academy  of  that  village, 
and  being  more  ambitious  tlian  most  )'ouths  of  that  time,  prevailed 
upon  his  father  to  permit  him  to  prepare  for  Yale  College  through 
the  aid  of  a  private  tutor.  He  entered  the  sophomore  class  in  his 
fifteenth  year.     He  was  graduated  in  the  class  of   1827,  and  took

up  the  study  of  law.  In  1830,  before  he  was  twenty-one  years  old, 
he  was  elected  inspector  of  schools  in  Peru,  Clinton  Co.,  N.  Y.  Two 
years  later,  he  was  admitted  to  the  bar  by  the  Supreme  Court  of 
the  state,  and  having  decided  to  reside  in  Salina,  near  the  Salt 
Springs,  which  his  father  had  owned,  he  was  also  admitted  to  the 
bar  of  Onondaga  County  in  the  same  year.  For  fourteen  years  he 
practiced  in  this  village  with  marked  success.  In  1846  he  engaged 
in  the  lumber  and  coarse  salt  business,  and  began  to  take  part  in 
local  politics.  His  first  office  was  the  clerkship  of  the  village  and 
town  of  Salina.  This  he  held  several  terms.  In  1843  he  was  elected 
to  the  Assembly  of  the  state,  in  which  he  served  during  the  fol- 
lowing years :  1844,  1858,  1862,  1864,  1866,  1872,  1874,  1875,  1877, 
1882.  His  interest  in  and  devotion  to  the  salt  interests  of  his  dis- 
trict, coupled  with  his  long  public  service  in  the  legislature,  earned 
for  him  the  political  sobriquet  of,  "Old  Salt." 

The  abilities  of  the  young  legislator  in  the  early  history  of  the 
state  vvere  quickly  recognized.  He  at  once  took  a  prominent  place 
on  the  important  committees  to  do  with  the  constructive  legislation 
in  which  Xew  York  took  the  lead  in  the  nation,  and  many  of  the 
most  valuable  laws  now  on  its  statute  books  were  the  fruit  of  his 
brain  and  patriotic  endeavor.  He  was  chosen  speaker  of  the  As- 
sembly in  1858,  1864,  and  in  1879,  when  the  legislature  moved  into 
the  new  Capitol  at  Albany.  During  this  long  period  he  was  often 
oiTered  nominations  for  federal  office  of  higher  rank,  but  never 
tempted  from  his  controlling  desire  to  serve  his  state.  Even  an  op- 
portunity for  election  to  the  United  States  Senate  did  not  swerve  him. 

Up  to  the  hour  of  the  secession  of  the  Southern  States,  ]\Ir.  Alvord 
had  been  a  Democrat.  When  Fort  Sumpter  was  fired  on  he  became 
a  "War  Democrat"  and  soon  joined  the  Republican  party,  to  which 
he  ever  after  gave  loyal  allegiance.  In  the  Fall  of  1864  lie  was 
elected  Lieutenant-Governor  of  the  state  on  the  Republican  ticket 
Vv'ith  Reuben  E.  Fenton.  Governor  Fenton  for  a  part  of  his  term 
was  in  such  poor  health  that  the  Lieutenant  Governor  acted  as  the 
Chief  Executive  in  many  important  matters.  Following  the  two 
years'  term  of  Lieutenant  Governor,  came  election  as  delegate  to 
the  State  Constitutional  Convention.  This  body  choose  Air.  Alvord 
its  \'ice-President,  as  did  the  next  Constitutional  Convention  in 
1893.  This  last  service  closed  his  political  career,  which  had  other- 
wise embraced  membership  for  years  in  the  State  Canal  Board,  and 
other   important  public   commissions,   as   well   as   service   in   many

State  Conventions  of  his  party,  of  some  of  which  he  was  Chairman, 
and  of  all  of  wliich  he  was  an  important  and  prominent  member. 

Governor  Alvord,  as  he  was  generally  addressed,  was  an  authoritv 
on  parliamentary  matters,  an  able  debater,  and  a  firm  and  fair  pre- 
siding officer.

Alvord  in  Oakwood  Cemetery,  Syracuse,  N.  Y.  On  one  side  is  the 
name  "Alvord,"  and  on  the  other  a  long  list  of  the  public  offices 
with  which  he  was  honored,  but  his  greatest  monument  is  the  un- 
tarnished record  of  long  years  of  public  and  private  trust,  which 
is  the  only  inheritance  he  sought  to  leave  his  children  beyond  the 
example  of  an  upright,  unselfish  life  devoted  to  his  country.  (Writ-

during  the  season  and  contracted  the  "Maumee  Fever,"  which  seri- 
ously impaired  his  health. 

Mr.  Alvord  and  his  wife  made  the  journey  to  ]\Io.  in  company 
with  his  father  and  brother,  Harvey.  Arriving  at  St.  Louis,  he  de- 
clined to  proceed  farther,  owing  to  a  misunderstanding  with  refer- 
ence to  the  assignment  of  the  land.  He  remained  at  St.  Louis  for 
two  years,  working  at  his  trade,  then  returned  to  Oswego,  N.  Y.

he  went  with  his  father  and  brother,  John  Jacob,  to  Caldwell  Co., 
AIo. ;  but  in  1849,  at  the  time  of  the  gold  excitement  in  Cal.,  Harvey 
and  his  father  pushed  on  to  the  Pacific  Coast.  While  they  were 
crossing  the  plains  in  ]\Iay,  1849,  en  route  for  Cal.,  in  order  to  defend 
themselves  to  better  advantage  from  the  Indians,  the  emigrants  di- 
vided themselves  into  companies,  and  Mr.  Alvord  was  appointed 
captain  over  one  hundred  and  twenty  wagons.  They  w^ere  six 
months  on  the  road,  and  endured  many  privations  and  hardships. 

At  Placerville,  Cal.,  in  the  winter  of  1849,  onions  and  potatoes 
were  51.50  a  pound,  flour  was  $1  a  pound,  and  wages  $16  a  day. 
Mr.  Alvord  was  among  the  earliest  settlers  in  the  state,  and  be- 
longed to  the  California  Primus  Society.  In  1856  he  returned  to 
Syracuse,  N.  Y.,  and,  after  an  absence  of  twenty-six  years,  in  1882 
went  back  to  Cal.  to  spend  the  last  years  of  his  life.

He  was  then  engaged  with  a  flour  and  feed  firm  in  Syracuse  for 
several  years,  after  which  he  successively  engaged  in  farming,  the 
grocery  business,  and  finally  as  a  drayman,  having  a  number  of 
teams,  and  taking  contracts  from  various  houses  for  their  work  in

this  line.    He  sold  out  liis  business,  and  during  the  last  ten  years  o£ 
his  life  was  retired. 

Mr.  Alvord  was  a  man  of  remarkably  happy  frame  of  mind.  Noth- 
ing seemed  to  depress  him  for  any  length  of  time.  He  was  always 
one  of  the  youngest  in  any  gathering",  and  was  called  by  the  friends 
of  his  business  life,  "Happy  Lou."  If  he  could  not  speak  well  of 
a  person  he  said  nothing,  and  therefore  never  had  an  enemy.  He 
''scattered  sunshine  all  along  his  way"  in  very  truth,  and  his  death 
was  mourned  by  old  and  young  in  the  circle  of  his  friends  and  ac- 
quaintances.

life  lived  in  Conn.,  and  with  his  father  worked  a  farm  called  "State 
of  Conn.,"  or  for  the  State  of  Conn.  It  is  possible  that  he  lived  at 
Syracuse  at  one  time.  In  1832  he  moved  to  Mich.,  and  no  one  was 
more  respected  in  the  town  of  Tecumseh  than  "Uncle  David,"  as 
he  was  familiarly  called.  He  was  strictly  honest,  and  a  total  ab-

After  attending  the  public  school  of  his  native  town,  Henry  Alvord 
became  a  teacher  for  several  years  during  the  period  of  his  early 
manhood.  Later  he  settled  on  the  homestead,  one  fourth  of  a  mile 
south  of  the  Bolton  Center  Church,  and  engaged  in  farming.  In 
this  occupation  he  v/as  eminently  successful.  His  farm  became 
known  as  the  most  attractive  and  best  kept  farm,  and  Mr.  Alvord  as 
the  most  ideal  farmer  in  the  town  of  Bolton.  It  stood  as  a  home 
of  refinement  where  love  for  Christ  and  devotion  to  duty  were  in- 
culcated into  the  hearts  of  all. 

Mr.  Alvord  in  early  life  became  a  member  of  the  Bolton  Cong. 
Church,  and  served  his  church  for  many  years  as  deacon  and  Sunday 
School  Superintendent.  The  interests  of  the  church  were  very  near 
to  his  heart,  and  he  gave  it  his  most  ardent  support.  He  was  also 
active  in  town  aiTairs,  holding  the  office  of  town  treasurer  and  minor 
offices.  In  1861  he  was  elected  as  a  Republican  to  the  Conn.  State 
Senate.  He  was  also  a  trustee  of  the  Nathan  Hale  fund  of  Coventry, 
Conn. 

Mr.  Alvord  exemplified  the  best  type  of  New  England  citizenship, 
which  in  time  past  has  been  the  strength  of  the  small  New  England 
towns. 

Mrs.  Mary  (Gillett)  Alvord  was  educated  at  Bacon  Academy, 
Colchester,  Conn.,  and  took  up  the  work  of  teaching.  After  marriage 
she  contributed  her  full  share  in  making  the  home  what  it  was.  For 
many  years  she  was  an  efficient  teacher  in  the  Sunday  School,  and 
was  highly  regarded  by  all  Bolton  people  for  her  Christian  woman- 
hood.

The  boyhood  days  of  Charles  Alvord  were  passed  on  his  father's 
farm  in  Bolton,  Conn.,  where  he  attended  the  district  school.  At  the 
age  of  seventeen  he  went  to  New  Hartford.  Conn.,  and  conducted 
a  store  for  six  years.  In  April.  1850,  he  went  to  Wolcottville  (now 
Torrington),  Conn.,  and  with  his  brother,  Hubbell  B.  Alvord,  bought 
out  the  dry  goods  business  of  Walter  AI.  Hungerford.  He  con- 
tinued in  this  business  until  1866,  when  with  several  others  he  organ- 
ized a  company  for  the  manufacture  of  sewing  machine  needles. 
Work  was  begun  on  a  small  scale  at  Daytonville,  tvN^o  miles  north  of 
Torrington.  Mr.  Alvord  was  made  treasurer  and  manager  of  the 
company,  and  held  these  positions  for  over  thirty  years.  This  com- 
pany now  holds  the  first  place  in  the  world  in  the  manufacture  of 
sewing  and  knitting  machine  needles,  bicycle  spokes  and  nipples. 
Its  success  is  due  in  no  small  measure  to  the  foresight  and  efficiency 
of  Mr.  Alvord. 

In  addition  to  his  work  in  the  management  of  the  Excelsior  Needle 
Co.,  Mr.  Alvord  was  a  director  of  the  Eagle  Bicycle  Co.,  and  of  the 
Union  Hardware  Co.,  with  a  large  interest  in  the  Torrington  and 
Winchester  Electric  Ry.,  The  Brooks  National  Bank,  the  Torring-

reconstruction  period.  Both  were  great  readers  and  subscribers  to 
New  York  daily  newspapers.  Both  were  men  of  ideas,  sound  judg- 
ment, and  strong  mentality,  who  could  discuss  intelligently  national 
affairs. 

Elijah  Alvord  had  a  strong  mathematical  mind.  His  mother  v/as 
wont  to  call  him  the  "long-headed"  member  of  the  family.  AVhen 
a  young  man  he  paid  off  the  mortgage  on  his  father's  farm  in  a 
very  few  years,  although  his  father  had  struggled  with  it  unsuccess- 
fully for  many  years.  He  v»-as  resourceful,  full  of  energy,  and  ex- 
hibited remarkable  power  to  accomplish  work.  Besides  cultivating 
his  farm  he  dealt  extensively  in  wood  and  charcoal.  He  died  sud- 
denly in  middle  life,  v/hen  there  was  every  indication  that  he  would 
have  a  most  successful  career,  financial  and  otherwise. 

^Ir.  Alvord  was  an  active  member  of  the  Bolton  Cong.  Church, 
and  labored  for  its  interests.  In  town  meetings  he  took  an  active 
part.  As  a  debater  he  was  forceful  and  pointed,  never  given  to 
adulation  or  flattery.  He  was  a  Republican  in  politics,  and  held 
several  town  offices. 

Mrs.  Cynthia  (Warner)  Alvord,  a  descendant  of  Dr.  Ichabod 
Warner  of  Bolton,  had  only  the  opportunities  for  education  and 
cultivation  v/hich  are  found  in  the  district  school  and  in  the  inter- 
course vvith  relatives  and  friends.  She  possessed  excellent  mental 
qualities,  and  was  sensible  in  a  high  degree,  with  no  assumption  of 
superiority,  being  naturally  modest  and  retiring.  By  the  death  of 
Mr.  Alvord,  being  left  with  a  family  of  six  small  children,  with 
little  property  beside  the  farm,  she  m^et  the  issue  in  a  masterly  way. 
All  the  children  were  kept  together,  and  given  a  good  education, 
three  attending  the  high  school,  and  one  graduating  at  Yale  Uni- 
versity. In  addition  to  the  great  burden  that  was  already  hers,  it 
fell  to  her  lot  to  care  for  four  aged  relatives,  three  of  vs'hom  were 
of  Mr.  Alvord's  family.  Though  they  lived  with  her  for  many 
years  and  were  a  great  care,  she  bravely  and  cheerfully  assumed  the 
burden,  and  watched  over  them  in  their  last  sicknesses.  For  fifty  years 
she  has  been  a  faithful  member  of  the  Bolton  Cong.  Church.  With 
mind  clouded  in  her  old  age,  she  passes  a  quiet  existence  in  care  of 
her  daughter  on  the  old  home  in  Bolton,  Conn.

Rev.  Frederick  Alvord  spent  the  first  eighteen  years  of  his  life 
on  the  farm  in  Bolton,  Conn.,  attending  school  in  the  winter.  He 
then  began  to  prepare  for  college  at  an  academy  in  Manchester, 
Conn.  The  two  succeeding  winters  he  taught  district  schools.  In 
the  Autumn  of  1849  he  went  to  the  Monson  Academy,  Monson, 
Mass.,  then  under  the  charge  of  Rev.  Charles  Hammond,  where  he 
remained  for  two  years,  completing  his  preparation  for  college.  In 
1851  he  entered  the  Freshman  class  of  Yale  College,  and  graduated 
in  1855.  In  the  autumn  of  the  same  year  he  was  engaged  for  three 
months  as  assistant  teacher  in  the  academy  at  North  Scituate,  R.  I. 
At  the  close  of  this  engagement  Mr.  Alvoid  immediately  entered 
the  Theological  Seminary  at  East  Windsor  Hill,  Conn. — since  re- 
moved to  Hartford,  and  now  known  as  the  Hartford  Theological 
Seminary — .From  this  seminary  he  graduated  in  1857,  and  was 
licensed  to  preach  by  the  Hartford  Fourth  Association  at  Bloom- 
field.  Conn.,  Sept.  23,  1856.  During  the  latter  part  of  his  senior  year 
in  the  seminary,  Mr.  Alvord  received  a  call  from  the  Congregational 
Church  in  Canton,  Conn.,  but  declined  it.  In  Sept.,  1857,  he  was 
called  to  the  pastorate  of  the  church  in  Byfield,  Mass.,  which  he 
supplied  vv^ithout  settlement  until  the  following  April.  J"lv  21, 
1858,  he  v/as  ordained  as  pastor  at  Chicopee  Falls,  Mass.,  and  dis-

missed  on  account  of  broken  health  Nov.  5,  1860.  He  resided  at 
Monson,  JNIass.,  at  the  home  of  }klrs.  Alvord's  parents  from  the 
time  of  his  dismissal  until  1866,  preaching  as  his  health  would 
permit,  successively  at  Ludlow,  Mass.,  West  Stafford,  Conn.,  and 
Walpole,  N.  H.  The  last  named  church  invited  him  to  become  its 
pastor,  but  he  was  unable  to  accept  the  call. 

Mr.  Alvord's  six  years'  residence  at  Monson  was  necessitated 
by  the  feebleness  of  Mrs.  Alvord's  parents,  who  needed  the  presence 
and  care  of  their  children.  After  their  death  Mr.  Alvord  was 
settled  at  Darien,  Conn.,  Dec.  26,  1866,  and  dismissed  June  8.  1869, 
to  accept  a  call  to  the  First  Congregational  Church  in  Nashua,  N. 
H.,  where  he  v^as  installed  July  6,  1869.  He  remained  as  pastor 
of  this  church  for  nearly  fourteen  years,  being  dismissed  May  1, 
1883.  Shortly  after  this  he  removed  to  New  Haven,  Conn.,  where 
he  resided  for  more  than  a  year,  supplying  different  churches.  In 
April,  1885,  he  became  pastor  of  the  Congregational  Church  at 
Canton  Center,  Conn.,  where  he  remained  until  ^lay,  1889,  when 
he  removed  to  South  Windsor,  Conn.,  and  became  acting  pastor  of 
the  Congregational  Church  at  that  place.  He  held  this  charge  until 
the  autumn  of  1895,  after  which  he  supplied  for  nearly  a  year  at 
Rochester,  Mass.,  and  also  a  year  at  Vernon,  Conn.,  closing  his 
active  service  in  the  ministry  in  1897,  when  he  took  up  his  residence 
at  Newton  Center,  Mass.,  living  there  until  his  death.  For  a  brief 
time  in  1896-97  Mr.  Alvord  was  interested  in  the  Granite  Paper 
Mills  at  Talcottville,  Conn.,  having  his  residence  in  that  place. 

Besides  contributing  frequently  to  various  periodicals,  Mr.  Alvord

Edwin  Dwight  Alvord  spent  his  early  life  on  tlie  farm,  and  went 
to  Cal.  in  1851,  following  the  occupation  of  house-builder,  but  re- 
turned to  Bolton,  Conn.,  tvvo  years  later.  In  1865  he  was  superin- 
tendent of  an  oil  company  in  West  Va.  He  was  deputy  sheriff  of 
Tolland  Co.,  Conn.,  for  six  years.  In  1869  he  was  elected  state 
senator  from  the  21st  district  of  Conn.  During  the  Civil  ¥/ar  he 
was  special  officer  in  the  Provost  Marshall's  office  of  the  First  Conn. 
Military  District.  He  also  served  as  county  commissioner  for  Tol-

purchased  an  interest  in  the  Granite  Paper  Mill  at  Vernon,  Conn., 
then  under  the  direction  of  S.  S.  Talcott.  He  succeeded  to  the  man- 
agement, and  continued  in  this  position  until  a  year  and  a  half  be- 
fore his  deatlij  when  he  retired  in  favor  of  his  son. 

Though  Mr.  Alvord  Vv-as  engaged  in  the  manufacture  of  paper 
during  the  last  ten  years  of  his  life,  his  previous  occupation  was 
carpentry  and  house-building.  In  workmanship,  and  especially 
rapidity  of  construction,  he  had  no  equals  in  his  native  county. 
He  was  rated  as  a  man  of  imtisual  mental  powers,  of  keen  discrimina-

James  Church  Alvord  prepared  for  college  at  Phillips  Academy, 
and  graduated  at  Dartmouth  in  1827.  He  studied  law  with 
the  late  Chief  Justice  Daniel  Wells  at  Greenfield,  Mass.,  and  at  the 
law  school,  at  New  Kaven,  Conn.,  and  Cambridge,  Mass.  He  was 
admitted  to  the  bar  in  1829,  and  in  1833,  on  the  death  of  Prof. 
Ashman,  of  the  Cambridge  Law  School,  Prof.  Greenleaf,  who  had 
been  appointed  to  succeed  him,  not  being  able  to  take  the  place  for 
several  months,  Mr.  Alvord,  then  twenty-five  years  of  age,  was  ap- 
pointed to  fill  the  position  during  the  interval. 

He  was  elected  representative  in  the  Mass.  Legislature  for  Green- 
field in  1836;  also  to  the  state  senate  in  1837_,  and  to  Congress  in 
1838.  He  was  the  first  man  ever  elected  to  Congress  on  a  distinctly 
anti-slavery  platform,  but  death  came  before  he  took  his  seat. 

Extracts  from  an  obituary  notice  by  Hon.  Benj.  R.  Curtis,  U.  S. 
Supreme  Court  judge: 

"The  numerous  and  great  obstacles  which  beset  the  path  of  a  young  law- 
yer everywhere,  and  especially  at  the  crowded  bar  of  our  Gsmmonwealth, 
he  cleared  at  a  bound,  and  almost  at  once  stood  in  the  front  rank  of  the 
distinguished  lawyers  whom  the  valley  of  the  Conn.  River  for  several  gene- 
rations has  continued  to  produce. 

"His  was  a  truly  remarkable  mind.  With  a  quickness  of  intellect  which 
travelled  to  conclusions  with  the  rapidity  of  light,  he  united  habits  of  the 
most  patient  investigation,  searching  always  for  a  principle,  \'et  he  had  as 
much  deference  for  authority  as  a  vigorous  mind  can  feel.  Though  capable 
of  long  continued  labor,  his  power  of  concentration  was  such  as  almost  to 
dispense  with  it.  Though  exceedingly  zealous  in  action  and  of  ardent  tem- 
perment,  his  opinions  on  the  most  exciting  subject  of  the  da}'  were  uniformly 
the  result  of  a  nicely  balanced  judgment. 

"United  with  these  intellectual  qualities  was  a  character  from  which  they 
borrowed  new  vigor.  Courage  always  rose  with  the  occasion  until  it  became 
indomitable ;  firmness  of  purpose  which  no  opposition  could  shake ;  a  generous 
self  devotion,  easily  excited;  an  entire  frankness  and  openness,  which  some- 
times w'ould  have  seemed  almost  child-like,  if  it  had  not  been  tmited  with  a 
keen  insight  into  the  character  of  others — all  these  qualities  combined  gave 
him  a  control  over  men  such  as  few  can  acquire. 

"The  writer  of  this  imperfect  sketch  has  knov.n  him  in  the  halls  of  legis- 
lation, at  the  bar,  in  professional  studies,  in  the  offices  of  friendship,  and 
though  he  was  ambitious,  he  was  never  seen  in  the  least  to  attempt  to  advance 
himself,  professionally  or  politically,  by  the  smallest  deviation  from  principle. 

"From  year  to  year  the  writer  has  found  his  convictions  strengthened 
that  if  the  ordinary  length  of  years  should  be  granted  to  Mr.  Alvord,  the 
country  would  owe  him  at  his  death  a  debt  of  gratitude  such  as  is  rarely  due." 

V/endell  Phillips,  hearing  of  the  death  of  Mr.  Alvord,  sent  this 

tribute  from  London,  Eng. : 

"His  services  in  the  cause  of  Anti-slavery  in  the  Mass.  Legislature  cannot

be  too  highly  estimated.  Entering  that  bod}^  with  more  influence,  perhaps, 
than  was  ever  accorded  to  one  of  his  age  before,  with  talents  of  the  highest 
order,  with  a  mind  stored  with  all  the  learning  of  his  profession  and  matured 
by  a  wide  practice,  as  well  as  early  cultivation,  he  was  ever  ready  to  throw 
his  whole  vveight  into  the  scale  of  humanity.  The  right  of  trial  by  jury  to 
persons  claimed  as  slaves  was  gained  almost  without  opposition,  not  only 
because  his  arguments  were  unansw-erable,  but  because  it  was  he  who  urged 
them.  Few  lav/yers  cared  to  measure  a  lance  with  one  whose  choice  of  posi- 
tion was  proof  that  it  was  impregnable  and  politicians  cared  as  little  to  oppose 
one  well  known  to  monopolize  the  affection  and  trust  of  the  western  coun- 
ties. His  report  exhausts  the  subject,  and  whenever,  in  any  state,  that  right 
is  to  be  battled  for  again,  the  weapons  and  the  shield  are  provided  for  the 
champion."

Rev.  Francis  Milton  Alvord  was  or«iained  as  a  Universalist  min- 
ister Sept.  10,  1844,  at  Sherman,  N.  Y.,  where  he  had  preached 
his  first  sermon  two  years  previous.  It  was  in  the  days  of  pioneer 
preaching,  and  many  a  "red  school-house"  held  its  crowd  of  farm-

ing  people,  who  came  on  Sunday  afternoon  from  all  directions  and 
represented  all  beliefs,  while  he  preached  to  them  of  a  Father  v,!io 
was  a  God  of  Love,  and  offered  to  them  the  doctrines  of  Uni- 
versalism. 

His  first  settled  pastorate  was  in  the  beautiful  little  village  of 
Carroll,  Chautauqua  Co.,  N.  Y.,  where  he  spent  ten  }ears  of  fruit- 
ful labor.  On  receiving  a  call  to  Friendship,  N.  Y.,  lie  resigned 
his  charge  at  Carroll  and  moved  with  his  wife  and  son  to  Friend- 
ship, N.  Y.,  in  the  spring  of  1854.  Nine  years  after  going  to 
Friendship,  he  decided  to  make  it  his  permanent  home,  and  to  that 
end  lie  purchased  a  small  farm,  west  of  that  thriving  little  village. 
From  tliat  time  until  Apr.,  1900,  he  preached  respectively  at  Friend- 
ship, Kennedy,  North  Cuba,  Belfast,  N.  Y.,  and  Westfield,  Pa., 
being  actively  engaged  in  ministerial  work  until  his  eightieth  birth- 
day, and  covering  a  period  of  nearly  60  years. 

He  was  well  and  favorably  known  in  his  denomination.  The  ex- 
ponents of  universal  salvation  had  much  to  contend  within  the 
early  days  of  his  ministry,  but  he  lived  to  see  a  more  charitable  spirit 
toward  Universalists  permeate  all  churches.  In  Friendship,  the 
home  of  his  adoption,  he  was  revered  and  loved  by  all,  irrespective 
of  creed  or  nationality.  He  clearly  exemplified  during  his  forty- 
eight  years  of  residence  in  Friendship,  by  his  simple,  kindly,  up- 
right life,  the  truths  of  his  religion,  viz. :  the  fatherhood  of  God 
and  the  brotherhood  of  man.  He  was  a  man  of  deep  culture,  liberal 
views,  and  broad  charity,  which  takes  in  all  denominations,  an 
eniiiusiastic  Mason  of  the  Alleghany  lodge  for  almost  fifty  years.

years  of  age,  after  which  he  studied  law  for  two  years  (1847-49)  at 
Troy,  Pa.  He  began  his  newspaper  career  at  Coudersport,  Pa.,  in 
1847.  In  1849  he  went  to  Noble  Co.,  Ind.,  and  taught  school  for 
a  short  time  at  Rome  City.  He  went  to  Albion,  Ind.,  in  1850,  and 
commenced  the  publication  of  the  "Albion  Observer,"  which  he 
continued  for  about  tw'O  years.  He  was  next  engaged  in  the  pub- 
lication of  the  "Albion  Expositor,"  but  he  conducted  it  for  only  a 
brief  period,  as  he  was  admitted  to  the  bar  in  1853,  and  began  the 
practice  of  law.  During  a  term  as  clerk  of  the  Circuit  Court  in 
1857,  he  established  the  "Noble  County  Democrat,"  which  he  pub- 
lished until  1860.  From  that  time  until  1872  he  was  engaged  in  the 
practice  of  his  profession.  In  that  year  he  entered  the  newspaper 
field  again,  and  commenced  the  publication  of  the  "Albion  New 
Era,"  which  he  conducted  until  1876,  when  he  was  again  elected 
clerk  of  the  Circuit  Court.  After  this  he  resided  with  his  family 
in  New  York  state  for  a  few  years,  but  returned  to  A.lbion  and  pur- 
chased the  "Noble  County  Democrat"  in  1886,  and  published  this 
paper  until  1893.  He  then  engaged  in  the  practice  of  law^  and 
literary  work  until  he  was  elected  prosecuting  attorney  for  the 
thirty-third  Judicial  Circuit  in  1896.  Vv-hich  office  he  held  for  one 
term.     From  this  time  until  his  death  he  was  engaged  in  literarv  work,

chiefly  in  the  preparation  of  a  history  of  Noble  Co.,  Ind. 

"Mr.  Alvord's  genius  was  decidedly  along  the  literary  line  and  it  was 
eminently  recognized  in  Northern  Ind.  His  literary  productions  are  char- 
acterized by  beauty  of  expression,  broad  and  thoughtful  anal3'sis  of  human 
motives  and  a  sternly  realistic  view  of  Life."     (Noble  Co.  Hist.) 

He  was  a  brilHant  and  entertaining  conversationahst ;  the  same 
beauty  of  thought  and  expression  permeating  his  language  as  was 
seen  in  his  writings.  Though  an  indefatigable  worker,  he  lived  to 
a  ripe  old  age.

Thompkins  Charles  Alvord  was  named  by  his  parents  Benjamin 
Tompkins  Alvord,  but  as  he  disliked  the  name  Benjamin,  he  dropped 
it  and  took  Charles  for  his  middle  name.  He  was  a  sailor  from  the 
time  he  was  fifteen  years  old  and  later  became  the  owner  of  a  ship 
of  which  he,  himself,  was  captain  for  many  years.  The  ship  went 
down  on  Lake  Michigan,  and  the  whole  cargo  was  lost.  All  on  board 
were  almost  miraculously  saved,  being  rescued  after  tossing  about 
for  a  day  and  night  on  the  lake  in  a  life  boat.  Mr.  Alvord  afterwards 
raised  the  ship,  but  never  sailed  it  again.  After  this  he  served  on  the 
detective  force  in  Chicago  and  police  force  in  Detroit.  He  met  with 
financial  reverses  in  oil  speculations.  In  politics  he  was  a  staunch 
Republican.

Ehcnezer,  Alexander),  born  Albany,  N.  Y.,  Jan.  3,  1833;  died  San 
Francisco,  Cal.,  Dec.  21,  1904;  married  San  Francisco,  Cal.,  June, 
1884,  Mrs.  Mary  Eliza  (Mcintosh)  Keeney,  widow  of  Dr.  Charles 
Clark  Keeney,  of  U.  S.  Army,  and  daughter  of  Col.  James  and  Eliza 
(Matthews)  Mcintosh.  She  was  born  Savannah,  Ga.,  during  Semi- 
nole War;  died  San  Francisco,  Cal.,  May  23,  1903.  Res.  San  Fran- 
cisco, Cal.  No  children. 

William  Alvord  was  educated  at  the  Albany  Academy,  Albany, 
N.  Y.  Early  in  life  he  became  aware  that  he  must  make  his  own 
way  in  the  world.  Therefore  at  the  age  of  seventeen  he  went  to  New 
York  City  and  worked  as  clerk  and  assistant  in  a  large  hardware 
store.  In  1853  Mr.  Alvord  went  to  California  and  settled  in  Marys- 
ville,  where  he  established  the  hardware  house  of  "Alvord  &  Havi- 
land."  Two  years  later  he  removed  to  San  Francisco  and  went  into 
the  hardware  business  more  extensively,  establishing  a  large  whole- 
sale and  importing  hardware  house  under  the  name  of  "William  Al- 
vord &  Co."  He  successfully  conducted  this  business  for  several 
years  but  ill  health,  induced  by  the  confining  duties  of  the  manage- 
ment of  his  business,  caused  him  to  dispose  of  his  interests  in  the 
enterprise  and  necessitated  a  complete  rest.  He  took  an  extended 
tour  in  Europe. 

On  Mr.  Alvord's  return  from  Europe,  he  found  that  his  fellow 
citizens  were  already  appreciating  his  ability  as  a  business  man,  his 
high  sense  of  honor  and  lofty  ideals.  Hence  it  happened  that  in 
1871  he  was  nominated  for  Mayor  of  the  city  of  San  Francisco  and 
elected  by  a  good  majority.  This  office  he  held  for  two  years  and  it 
was  administered  with  ability,  fidelity  and  great  advantage  to  the 
city.  In  1873  when  the  first  steps  were  taken  for  the  improvement 
of  Golden  Gate  Park  Mr.  Alvord  was  appointed  park  commissioner, 
holding  the  office  for  ten  years.  He  was  deeply  interested  in  the 
laying  out  and  beautifying  of  this  tract,  and  the  fact  that  Golden 
Gate  Park  to-day  stands  among  the  first  in  the  world  in  attractive- 
ness and  magnificence,  is  due  in  a  large  measure  to  the  efforts  of 
William  Alvord.  His  interest  in  the  park  never  ceased.  It  was  his 
custom  up  to  the  time  of  his  death  to  visit  the  park  every  morning 
before  going  to  the  bank.     It  was  one  of  his  pleasures  to  call  to

himself  by  a  peculiar  whistle  the  peacocks  and  other  wild  birds  which 
he  fed  with  peanuts  and  crumbs  from  his  pocket.  This  trifling  inci- 
dent shows  the  simplicity  and  tender  refinement  of  his  nature. 

In  1878  San  Francisco  was  passing  through  the  stormy  days  of 
"Sand-lot  Excitements,"  when  the  strongest  men  were  needed  in  the 
department  of  police.  Mr.  Alvord  was  appointed  police  commis- 
sioner at  this  time  and  rendered  the  city  most  efficient  service  in  the 
department  for  a  period  of  twenty-one  years.  Notwithstanding  the 
important  public  service  which  Mr.  Alvord  rendered  the  city,  he  was 
a  very  much  engaged  business  man  and  gained  for  himself  a  high 
reputation  as  a  safe,  strong  and  conservative  financier.  He  was  one 
of  the  original  incorporators  of  the  Bank  of  California  in  1864  and 
became  a  director  in  the  bank  in  1871,  the  year  in  which  he  was 
elected  Mayor.  For  many  years  this  bank  has  been  the  largest  and 
best  known  on  the  Pacific  Coast.  At  a  time  when  there  was  a  great 
crisis  in  the  bank  and  financial  circles  of  San  Francisco  Mr.  Alvord 
was  one  of  the  first  to  come  forward  to  save  the  credit  of  the  city 
by  securing  the  credit  of  the  bank.  He  was  later  elected  president 
of  the  bank  and  held  the  position  at  the  time  of  his  death.  Some  con- 
ception of  his  wide  spread  business  interests  may  be  gathered  from 
the  following :  he  was  president  of  the  Alaska-Treadmill  Gold  Min- 
ing Co;  president  of  the  Alaska-Mexican  Gold  Mining  Company; 
president  of  the  Alaska-  United  Gold  Mining  Company ;  president  of 
the  San  Francisco  Clearing  House;  president  of  the  Spring  Valley 
Water  Company  ;  president  of  the  Pacific  Club  ;  president  of  the  Lor- 
ing  Club  ;  president  of  the  Astronomical  Society  of  the  Pacific ;  chair- 
man of  the  local  board  of  directors  of  the  London,  Liverpool  and 
Globe  Insurance  Company ;  director  of  the  Selby  Smelting  and  Lead 
Works ;  director  of  the  United  Railroads  of  San  Francisco ;  director 
of  the  Spreckels  and  Western  Sugar  Refining  Companies ;  director 
of  the  Security  Savings  Bank,  and  director  of  the  California  Title 
Insurance  and  Trust  Company. 

Any  biographical  sketch  of  William  Alvord  that  spoke  merely  of 
his  career  as  a  business  man  or  in  the  field  of  politics  would  be  in- 
complete indeed.  He  had  by  nature  a  genuine  scientific  and  artistic 
spirit  and  devoted  much  time  and  energy  to  its  cultivation,  contribut- 
ing liberally  for  the  advancement  of  both  science  and  art.  He  was 
elected  president  of  the  San  Francisco  Art  Association  in  1871  and 
re-elected  for  several  terms.  He  early  became  a  member  of  the 
American  Forestry  Association  of  \A'ashington,  D.  C,  serving  as  its 


418  Alvord  Gexealogy 

president  in  1890-91.  lie  became  a  member  of  the  California  Acad- 
emy of  Sciences  in  1872  and  was  elected  president  in  19G3,  holding 
the  office  up  to  the  time  of  his  death.  In  1874  when  James  Lick  con- 
tributed three  million  dollars  for  the  cause  of  science  and  art  of  which 
the  California  Academy  of  Science  was  one  of  the  chief  beneficiaries, 
Mr.  Alvord  was  appointed  one  of  the  board  of  trustees  of  the  fund. 

Mr.  Alvord  was  one  of  the  best  known  financiers  on  the  Pacific 
Coast  and  became,  perhaps,  the  wealthiest  of  any  that  have  borne  the 
"Alvord"  name  to  the  present  time.  Reference  to  his  interest  in  this 
genealogy  will  be  found  in  the  preface  to  this  volume.. 

The  foregoing  sketch  is  based  on  a  memorial  address  delivered  by 
Theodore  H.  Hittell  before  the  California  Academy  of  Science  in 
1905,  from  which  following  is  taken : 

"When  men  of  large,  complicated  and  successful  business  afifairs  manifest 
great  and  abiding  interest  in  matters  of  science  and  art,  devote  to  their  culti- 
vation a  considerable  share  of  their  attention,  and  contribute  to  their  advance- 
ment an  appreciable  portion  of  their  means,  it  may  be  said  of  them  that, 
though  perhaps,  technically  speaking,  neither  scientists  nor  artists,  they  are 
nevertheless  imbued  with  true  and  genuine  scientific  and  artistic  spirit.  Of 
such  men  our  late  President,  William  Alvord,  was  a  shining  representative, 
well  worthy  all  the  honors  we  can  pay  to  his  memory.  He  was  a  typical 
American  business  man  of  honorable  kind ;  and,  as  such,  it  may  be  said  of 
him  that  the  more  we  know  of  his  life  and  career,  the  more  sincere  will  be 
our  tribute  to  his  merits."

the  Isthmus.  Later  he  lived  with  his  parents  at  Omaha,  Neb.,  and 
Washington,  D.  C,  where  he  attended  school.  In  1877  he  was  ap- 
pointed cadet  at  West  Point  by  Pres.  Grant.  He  graduated  from  the 
Academy  in  1882  and  was  assigned  2nd  Lieut.,  20th  Infantry,  with

George  Bulkley  Alvord  was  a  very  well  known  man  in  New  York 
City  from  1860-1880.  He  was  one  of  the  foremost  hatters,  belong- 
ing to  what  was  known  as  a  family  of  hatters.  Alvord,  the  hatter, 
was  as  well  known  during  the  above  dates  as  Dunlap  or  Knox  are 
today.  All  the  best  people  of  the  city  went  to  my  Mr.  Alvord's  place 
of  business  for  their  head-gear.  His  father  conducted  the  business 
for  years  on  Chambers  St.,  New  York,  and  Mr.  Alvord  succeeded 
him  and  prospered  until  1873,  which  was  the  panic  year.  He  was 
also  a  member  of  the  Volunteer  Fire  Dept.  of  New  York  City, 
belonging  to  what  w^as  then  known  as  Big  Six.  This  was  the 
"swellest"  fire  company  in  New  York,  the  late  Boss  Tweed  of  New 
York  Citv  having  been  a  member.  Tammanv  Hall  in  1869  asked 
Mr.  Alvord  to  run  for  Congress  on  their  ticket,  but  it  seems  he  had 
no  liking  for  Tammany  and  refused  the  offer.  He  was  also  a  mem- 
ber of  the  Continental  Glee  Club  of  the  city  and  continued  a  member 
of  it  up  to  his  death.  This  was  one  of  the  finest  singing  clubs  in  the 
state.  Mr.  Alvord  was  known  as  the  best  bass  singer  in  the  state, 
having  wide  experience  in  both  church  and  stage  singing.  His 
second  wife  often  sang  with  him  at  social  gatherings.  The  month 
before  Mr.  Alvord  died,  on  Decoration  Day,  he  sang  at  Cypress 
Hills,  which  is  the  soldiers'  burying  ground,  and  it  is  said  that  he 
took  cold  there,  which  resulted  in  his  death.  Mr.  Alvord  had  the 
distinction  of  measuring  the  late  James  G.  Blaine's  head  for  a  hat, 
during  that  statesman's  campaign  for  the  Presidency.

Thomas  Gold  Alvord  moved  to  New  York  in  1879  to  become  a 
newspaper  man.     He  was  educated  in  the  Syracuse  Classical  School, 
and  prepared  for  Williams  College  for  which  he  passed  the  exam- 
ination   in    his    sixteenth    year.      His    purpose    of    graduating    was 
thwarted  by  family  financial  reverses  and  he  entered  the  employ  of 
Edward  F.  Rice,  dry  goods  dealer  in  Syracuse,  as  assistant  book- 
keeper, at  a  salary  of  $1.25  a  week.    Within  two  years  he  was  made 
bookkeeper  with  a  salary  of  $900  a  year.     A  brief  mercantile  ven- 
ture followed,  then  came  a  short  time  at  sea  and  a  year's  experience 
sheep-ranching  in  Texas.    From  this  point  letters  sent  to  the  Syracuse 
Courier  attracted  the  attention  of   George   Dawson,   editor  of  the 
Albany  Journal,  who  made  young  Alvord  an  offer  to  become  a  mem- 
ber of  his  staff.     The  young  man  hardly  arrived  in  Albany  before 
the  representative  of  the  New  York  Herald  outbid  Mr.  Dawson  and 
secured  his  services.     A  notable  "Scoop"  brought  the  new  reporter 
to  the  attention  of  James  Gordon  Bennett  who  gave  him  a  place  in 
the  City  Department  of  the  New  York  Herald.    He  advanced  stead- 
ily through  the  various  grades  of  journalism  from  general  work, 
police  reporter,  Albany  correspondent,   state  political   writer,   until 
in  1891  he  was  placed  in  charge  of  the  Washington  Bureau  of  the 
Herald,    succeeding   the    famous   political   writer   Charles    Nordoff. 
After  a  long  experience  in  reporting  national  politics  Mr.  Alvord 
started  the  Washington  Evening  News,  of  which  he  gave  up  the 
proprietorship  to  become  the  war  correspondent  in  Cuba  for  the  New 
York  World.     In  1898  he  went  with  Mr.  John  Russell  Young,  the 
first  Librarian  of  Congress,  appointed  to  organize  and  conduct  that 
institution  in  its  present  separate  building  and  Mr.  Alvord  became 
Chief  Clerk  of  the  Library,  continuing  under  Mr.  Herbert  Putnam, 
who  succeeded  Mr.  Young,  until  1905.

In  that  year  Mr.  Alvord  was  sent  by  the  New  York  Herald  to

1732.  ^lARY  PENELOPE  ALVORD  (Harvey,  Asahel, 
Thomas  Gould,  AsahcI,  Thomas,  Thomas,  Alexander),  born  Salina, 
N.  Y.,  Aug.  17,  1845 ;  married  Central  City,  Colo.,  Apr.  16,  1867, 
Orlando  North,  son  of  Stephen  and  Mrs.  Esther  (Wetmore-Cornell) 
North.  He  was  born  near  Lima,  N.  Y.,  Sept.  18,  1838 ;  died  Denver, 
Colo.,  Feb.  2,  1896.    Res.  Palo  Alto,  Cal.,  1906.     No  children. 

Owing  to  his  father's  early  death,  Orlando  North  received  his 
early  training  entirely  from  a  devoted  Christian  mother.  Mr. 
North  began  to  earn  his  own  living  at  the  age  of  eleven.  In  1856, 
he  went  to  the  mining  districts  near  Nevada  City,  Colo.,  soon  after 
he  set  up  a  furnishing  store  which  he  ran  until  1867  when  he  went 
to  Cheyenne  and  set  up  an  eating  house.  In  1869  Mr.  North  went 
to  the  town  of  Bryan,  where  he  again  conducted  a  furnishing  store 
while  Mrs.  North  ran  a  lunch  counter  at  the  Ry  Station,  which 
proved  successful.  In  1871  they  moved  to  Evanston,  Wyo.,  and 
soon  after  ]\Ir.  North  took  up  ranching  wuth  good  success  until  his 
death. 

Mrs.  North  and  her  mother  live  at  Palo  Alto,  Cal.  In  the  follow- 
ing letter,  written  shortly  after  the  earthquake,  she  describes  her 
experience  in  that  terrible  calamity : 

Palo  Alto,  Cal.,  May  17,  1906. 
Mr.  S.  M.  Alvord, 

Dear  Friend  :     Your  postal  of  the  8th   inst.   received  last  evening  and  we 
thank  you  very  much  for  your  kind  thought  of  us  in  our  late  calamity  that 
has  befallen  Cal.     Although  they  are  all  at  work  rebuilding  in  San  Francisco, 
still  there  has  been  much  suffering  and  loss  of  life.     Palo  Alto  had  quite  a 
shaking  up,  some  houses  beyond  repair  and  will  have  to  be  torn  down.   All  of 
Stanford's  beautiful  buildings  are  in   ruin  but  the   repairs  will   be  made  and 
those  needed  for  school  work  next  year  will  be  in  readiness  for  Aug.  22,  1906. 
One  can  hardly   realize  that  forty  seconds   would   ruin  completely  what  has 
taken  years  to  build.     I  think  if  Mrs.  Stanford  were  here  her  heart  would  be 
broken  to  see  the  pride  of  her  energies  lying  in  ruin.     It  is  a  blow  to  Cal. 
Nearly  all  houses  in  Palo  had  their  chimneys  wrecked,  some  from  basement  to 
roof,  others  just  the  top  knocked  off,  walls  with  plaster  broken.     Our  place 
has  one  chimney  condemned  and  the  rest  will  have  to  be  tipped  again.     Plas- 
ter will  have  to  be  all  new  down  stairs,  but  upstairs  can  be  patched  I  guess. 
But  when  you  stop  to  think  a  house  fifty-six  feet  long  and  two  stories  with 
large  attic,  rocking  so  you  could  not  stand  up,  you  can  form  some  idea  of  the 
motion  that  the  earth-quake  causes.     I   fell  twice  going  a  distance  of  fifteen 
feet  trying  to  get  to  my  mother's  room,  who  was  lying  in  bed.     After  trying 
to  get  up  and  finding  it  impossible,  she  lay  there  and  looked  at  the  pictures  on 
the   wall  going  in  every  direction  ;   and  thinking  she  would  be  killed.    Even 
the  trees  bent  their  tops  from  one  side  to  the  other  and  reached  clear  to  the 
ground.     We  sat  outdoors  all  that  day  as  we   knew  not  what  t\:.\t  another

quake  would  come.  They  leave  a  person  very  nervous  and  one's  head  feels 
badly,  Neither  mother  nor  I  have  felt  just  right  since,  though  it  is  four 
weeks  yesterday  since  it  happened.  I  was  writing  some  more  of  the  articles 
you  wanted,  but  I  have  been  in  such  a  nervous  state  since,  I  have  done  nothing 
more,  but  will  take  it  up  again,  and  try  to  finish  it  if  your  patience  is  not  ex- 
hausted. If  you  step  on  the  floor  and  it  makes  a  noise  you  have  the  sensation 
of  the  earthquake  again.  I  will  send  you  some  views  so  you  can  see  what 
wrecks  it  made  of  the  buildings.  Mother  joins  me  in  kindest  regards  to 
yourself  and  family.        Very  sincerely, 

MARY  P.  NORTH.

his  help  was  needed  at  home  and  he  reluctantly  gave  up  his  plans 
for  continuing  his  education.  Both  mentally  and  physically  he  ma- 
tured early.  At  the  age  of  fifteen  he  assumed  the  entire  management 
of  the  farm  and  before  he  reached  the  age  of  twenty  he  was  recog- 
nized as  one  of  the  best  farmers  in  the  town.  He  possessed  remark- 
able physical  strength  and  his  sound  judgment  was  early  recognized 
by  his  fellow-townsmen,  who  elected  him  to  the  office  of  selectman 
at  the  age  of  twenty-two.  He  conducted  the  office  with  great  econ- 
omy and  financial  advantage  to  the  town.  The  following  year  Mr. 
Alvord  was  elected  representative  to  the  Connecticut  state  legislature

Major  Henry  Elijah  Alvord  attended  the  public  schools  in  Green- 
field, graduating  at  the  high  school,  and  in  the  spring  of  1860  he 
entered  Norwich  Alilitary  University,  in  Vermont.  During  his 
Junior  year,  the  war  broke  out  and  he  entered  the  army  as  a  private 
joining  a  student  company  of  cavalry,  which  was  raised  by 
Gov.  Sprague  of  R.  L  to  serve  for  ninety  days.  Maj.  Alvord  was 
soon  promoted  to  first  sergeant  of  Co.  B,  7th.  Squadron,  R.  I.  Cav- 
alry. He  lield  this  position  until  he  was  honorably  mustered  out  Oct. 
2,  1862.  On  Nov.  21,  1862  he  enlisted  in  the  2nd.  Mass.  Calvary. 
On  account  of  his  military  training  in  school  he  v^^as  appointed  by 
Gov.  Andrew,  2nd.  Lieutenant.  In  Jan.  1864  he  was  promoted  to 
1st.  Lieutenant  and  on  Dec.  11,  1864,  to  Captain.  He  was  sub- 
sequently commissioned  as  major  by  Gov.  Andrew  and  on  Aug.  5, 
1865,  he  was  honorably  mustered  out,  after  a  gallant  service  of  over 
three  years.  He  was  active  in  all  the  Peninsular  campaigns  and  took 
part  in  all  Sheridan's  battles,  as  well  as  Gen.  Early's  raid  in  July, 
1864,  a  very  interesting  and  graphic  account  of  which  he  wrote  and 
read  a  few  years  ago  before  the  Loyal  Legion.  Col.  Charles  Russell 
Lowell,  a  brave  soldier  of  the  same  regiment,  died  in  Maj.  Alvord's 
arms  and  he  had  the  sad  mission  of  taking  the  body  of  his  friend  to 
the  family  in  Mass. 

Maj.  Alvord's  military  career  was  continued  after  the  close  of  the 
Civil  War  and  he  did  a  varied  and  important  work  in  the  West  and 
South-west.  He  was  commissioned  1st.  lieutenant  in  the  10th.  cav- 
alry July  28,  1866,  and  was  regimental  adjutant  from  June  1,  to 
July  31,  1867,  when  he  was  promoted  to  the  captaincy.  Jan.  1,  1871 
he  was  assigned  to  duty  with  the  9th.  cavalry,  but  on  Dec.  9,  1871, 
he  resigned  to  take  charge  of  the  administration  of  his  father's  es- 
tate in  Fairfax  Co.,  Va.     He  also  received  a  commission  as  brevet

"Soldier,  Farmer,  Teacher."

major  in  the  regular  army. 

During"  this  period  of  his  military  life  on  the  western  plains,  Maj. 
Alvord  was  engaged  in  doing  garrison  duty  in  wdiat  is  now  western 
Kansas,  Oklahoma  and  northern  Texas.  The  army  officers  in  those 
days  had  large  responsibilities  in  dealing  with  the  Indians,  who  were 
on  the  verge  of  outbreak  much  of  the  time.  Maj.  Alvord  never  held 
the  view  that  "the  only  good  Indian  v/as  a  dead  one,"  but  displayed 
such  tact  and  wisdom  in  dealing  with  them  that  he  v.^as  successful 
in  their  management  to  an  unvisual  degree  and  he  had  a  share  in 
planning  and  organizing  the  Carlisle  Indian  School.  While  in  charge 
of  the  Model  Houghton  farm  in  Orange  county.  N.  Y.,  he  emiployed 
a  number  of  Indian  boys  and  girls  from  the  Carlisle  School.  While 
in  the  West,  Maj.  Alvord  established  Ft.  Riley  and  Ft.  Sill,  besides 
doing  much  pioneer  work,  such  as  constructing  first  bridges  over 
many  streams. 

Maj.  Alvord,  known  among  the  Indians  as  the  "White  Horse 
Captain",  came  to  be  thoroughly  trusted  by  them,  so  that  after  he 
resigned  from  the  army,  when  the  Government  needed  a  commis- 
sioner to  treat  with  them  in  reference  to  acquiring  more  of  their 
lands,  it  turned  to  this  trusted  and  experienced  leader.  So  success- 
ful was  he  in  accomplishing  this  difficult  mission  at  a  time  when  the 
Indians  were  in  an  especially  ugly  mood,  that  he  induced  forty  chiefs 
with  fifteen  squaws,  representing  the  tribes  of  the  Comanches, 
Kiowas,  Arapahoes  and  some  others  to  go  to  Washington  for  con- 
ference with  the  President.  A  satisfactory  agreement  was  reached ; 
the  Indians  received  beef,  blankets  and  annuities  in  return  for  their 
lands  and  thus  a  border  settlers'  war  was  averted. 

During  Maj.  Alvord's  service  in  the  west  he  made  a  comprehen- 
sive study  of  the  great  cattle  growing  industry,  which  was  then 
beginning  to  assume  the  vast  proportions  it  soon  after  attained. 
From  his  observations  and  study  of  this  great  interest  he  wrote  an 
exhaustive  article  on  "American  Beef  for  the  British  Markets"  for 
which  he  was  awarded  the  grand  medal  of  the  Royal  Agricultural 
Society  of  England.  While  yet  in  the  army,  Maj.  Alvord  was  de- 
tailed as  military  instructor  at  the  Mass.  Agricultural  College  at  Am- 
herst, and  afterwards  became  an  instructor  at  Williston  Seminary, 
Easthampton,  Mass.  As  early  as  1876  he  became  much  interested 
in  the  cooperative  creamery  system  of  butter  making,  and  was  influ- 
ential in  its  adoption,  particularly  in  New  England.  He  established 
the  first  creamery  east  of  the  Hudson  river,  and  assisted  in  the  estab-

lishmcnt  of  many  others  in  Maine,  Vermont  and  Massachusetts. 

When  the  Houghton  Farm  Experiment  Station  was  founded  in 
1880  in  Orange  Co.,  N.  Y.,  Maj.  Alvord  became  the  general  master, 
and  retained  this  position  until  the  enterprise  had  to  be  abandoned 
live  years  later  for  lack  of  support.  The  same  year,  1885,  he  was 
appointed  professor  of  agriculture  in  the  Massachusetts  Agricultural 
College,  where  he  remained  until  1887,  when  he  was  chosen  the  first 
director  of  the  agricultural  experiment  station  of  Cornell  University, 
upon  its  establishment  under  the  Hatch  act,  but  he  declined  the  honor 
that  he  might  accept  a  more  responsible  position  in  Maryland,  where 
he  re-organized  the  agricultural  college  of  that  state,  establishing  the 
experiment  station  in  connection  with  it.  Here  he  was  president  and 
director  until  1892.  Subsequently  he  organized  and  was  at  the  head 
of  the  Oklahoma  Agricultural  College,  and  in  1894  was  appointed 
professor  of  agriculture  at  the  New  Hampshire  Agricultural  College, 
Durham,  N.  H.,  where  he  remained  for  one  year. 

In  1895,  when  the  dairy  division  of  the  bureau  of  animal  industry 
of  the  U.  S.  Department  of  Agriculture  was  created,  Maj.  Alvord 
became  its  organizer  and  chief,  and  he  held  this  position  until  his 
death.  In  the  organization  of  this  division  and  its  subsequent  man- 
agement, he  displayed  the  same  constructive  and  executive  ability 
that  was  so  evident  in  whatever  he  undertook,  and  it  may  be  said 
that  the  marked  success  of  the  division  was  due  to  this,  as  well  as 
his  profound  knowledge  of  the  dairy  interests  and  deep  insight  into 
the  dairy  needs  of  our  country. 

Besides  the  distinguished  positions  already  mentioned,  j\Iai.  Al- 
vord was  twice  elected  president  of  the  society  for  the  Promotion 
of  Agricultural  Science;  for  seven  years  lie  was  chjirm-n  or  the 
executive  committee  of  the  Association  of  Agricul jural  ColL'gcs  and 
Experiment  Stations  and  president  of  that  body  in  1394-5.  He  was 
a  Fellow  of  the  American  Association  for  the  Advancement  of  Sci- 
ence and  was  vice  president  of  the  Section  of  Economic?  in  1S87. 
He  had  charge  of  the  Collective  Agricultural  College  Exliibit  at  the 
Columbia  Exposition  at  Chicago  in  1893,  and  of  the  Exhibit  of  the 
Animal  Industries  and  Products  of  the  U.  S.,  at  the  Universal  Ex- 
position at  Paris  in  1900.  He  was  vice  president  for  the  U.  S.,  of 
the  International  Congress  of  1900  at  Paris,  and  was  a  member  of 
Uie  Organization  Conmiissions  for  the  next  Internation'l  Agricul- 
tural Congress.  He  was  an  Honorary  Member  of  the  Ro^-al  Agri- 
cultural Society  of  England  and  the  British  Dairy  Farmer's  Associa-

lion,  and  an  "Officer"  of  the  National  Order  of  !\Ierite  Agricole  of 
France.  He  was  a  member  of  the  American  Statistical  Association, 
the  National  Geographic  Society  ;  president  of  the  National  Cattle 
Growers'  Association ;  director  of  the  International  Dairy  Fair  Asso- 
ciation, of  the  American  Jersey  Cattle  Club,  of  the  N.  Y.  State  Ag- 
ricultural Society  and  of  other  organizations.  He  was  a  member  of 
the  Cosmos  Club  of  Washington,  the  Reform  Club  of  New  York, 
the  Military  Order  of  the  Loyal  Legion  of  the  U.  S.,  and  the  Union 
Soldiers'  Alliance.  From  Norwich  University  he  received  the  de- 
grees, B.  S.,  C.  E.,  and  L.  L.  D.  for  long  and  meritorious  services  in 
promoting  research  and  instruction  for  the  benefit  of  American  Ag- 
riculture.    He  was  the  most  widely  known  writer  on  dairy  subjects. 

Maj.  Alvord  w'as  a  man  of  royal  parts.  An  enthusiast  by  nature 
he  had  the  wisdom  of  a  man  of  afifairs.  His  serene  temper,  his  good 
judgment,  his  promptness  in  action,  together  with  a  certain  dignity 
of  manner  and  a  genuine  manliness  of  character  won  the  respect 
and  esteem  of  all  who  knew  him.  Trained  in  the  military  habit,  his 
plans  of  work  were  clear  and  detailed,  his  decisions  quick  and  firm, 
his  manner  and  speech  authoritative.  He  was  born  and  qualified  for 
leadership,  and  exercised  a  mighty  influence  in  all  organizations  with 
which  he  was  connected.  As  an  associate  he  was  cordial  and  sympa- 
thetic, attracting  all  who  came  in  contact  with  him. 

At  the  time  of  his  death,  J\Iaj.  Alvord  was  at  the  World's  Fair, 
St.  Louis,  Mo.,  representing  the  government  in  his  official  capacity. 
He  had  just  completed  his  exhausting  labors  and  was  taking  a  walk 
through  the  Exposition  grounds,  when  he  was  suddenly  stricken 
with  paralysis.  Although  given  every  possible  attention  by  his  offi- 
cial associates  and  friends  the  paralysis  increased  and  death  came  on 
Saturday,  Oct.  1,  1904.  He  was  buried  at  Greenfield,  ]\Iass.  The 
epitaph  on  the  tombstone  closes  with  these  words  of  his  own  choos- 
ing; "Soldier,  Farmer,  Teacher."

No  effort  was  spared  to  discover  the  parentage  of  the  above  Elisha 
Alvord.  From  the  facts  gathered, — chiefly  from  his  grandson,  El- 
mus  F.  Alvord — it  seems  reasonable  to  believe  that  he  was  the  sort 
of  Elisha  Alvord  (No.  148,  born  probably  at  Colchester,  Conn.,, 
May  16,  1748),  whom  see.  Elisha  Alvord,  the  head  of  the  above 
family,  had  brothers,  William  and  John,  of  whom  the  latter  was- 
probably  brouglit  up  by  some  one  outside  the  family,  since  his  parent^r 
died  when  he  was  very  young.  It  is  possible  that  he  is  the  John 
Alvord  who  died  at  Brookfield,  N.  Y.,  about  1815.  (Surrogate  Rec). 
Russell  Alvord  w^hen  about  fifteen  years  old  went  with  his  uncle 
William  Alvord,  from  Livingston  County,  N.  Y.,  to  Geauga  County, 
O.,  to  drive  his  stock,  William  settled  in  Geauga  Co.,  O.,  and  had 
family,  but  nothing  further  regarding  him  could  be  learned,  Russell 
Alvord  alwavs  claimed  that  the  Alvords  of  the  Syracuse  Salt  Works

UNCLASSIFIED    BRANCHES    AND    PERSONS    BEARING 

THE  NAME  ALVORD. 

{The  following  zuith  sonic  exceptions,  probably  have  no  connec- 
tion zvith  Alexander  Alvord  and  his  descendants.) 

DOW  ALVORD  is  said  to  have  been  born  near  Delphi.  Ind.,  prob. 
about  1815  ;  died  near  Viola,  Wis.,  about  1896,  aged  80  yrs.  By  his 
first  wife  he  had  one  son,  James  Valentine,  who  married — Hurd,  by 
vvdiom  he  had  a  son  Herbert  Alvord,  living  in  Mont.,  in  1908,  and  a 
daughter,  Etta  Alvord.  living  in  St.  Paul,  Minn.,  1908,  unm.  James 
Valentine  Alvord  deserted  his  family.  Dow  Alvord,  by  a  second 
wife,  had  three  daughters,  Mary  E.,  Malinda  and  Maggie.  John 
L.  Compton,  a  son  of  one  of  the  daughters  lives  at  West  Alis,  Wis., 
1908. 

WILLIA]\I  ALVORD.  a  brother  of  Dow  Alvord,  moved  from 
near  Delphi,  Ind.,  to  the  vicinity  of  Viola,  Wis.  He  had  sons:  John 
and  WiUiam,  Jr.  John  Alvord  lives  near  Viola,  Wis.,  and  has  two 
sons  and  two  daughters,  William  Alvord,  Jr.,  married  and  moved  to 
Michigan.  (The  above  may  reasonably  be  thought  to  be  descend- 
ants of  Alexander  Alvord). 

A  man  who  bore  the  name  of  Alvord  lived  in  a  small  stone  house 
on  the  Crane  farm  in  Carmel,  N.  Y.  He  was  thought  to  be  a 
Dutch  immigrant,  as  he  spoke  very  broken  English,  and  was  there- 
fore probably  not  a  descendant  of  the  New  England  Alvords.  He 
had  a  son,  Augustus  Alvord,  who  married  Delicy  S.  Marvin,  Apr.

22,  1873.     Augustus  Alvord  moved  to  Peekskill  where  he  died  leav- 
ing" several  children.    The  family  was  very  poor. 

JACOB  ALVORD,  of  Lykens,  Pa.,  born  in  Dauphin  Co.,  Pa., 
Mar.  21,  1837,  writes  that  his  father's  name  was  George  Alvord,  his 
mother  was  a  Shum.ber.  His  father's  family  certainly  lived  in  Le- 
banon and  Lancaster  counties.  Pa.,  and  some  of  them  perhaps  in 
Berks  County.  He  says  that  tliere  were  some  of  the  family  living 
in  Lancaster  and  Lebanon  Counties,  who  claimed  they  were  cousins, 
but  spelled  their  name  Albert.  George  Alvord  was  born  in  1794, 
and  did  in  1866.  His.  George's,  father  died  when  he  was  a  child, 
and  his  mother  married  Conrad  L^pdegrove.  The  children  of  George 
Alvord  were :  Frederick,  Henry  H.,  David,  Jacob,  George  W.,  Wil- 
liam PL,  Xancy,  Catherine,  Elizabeth  and  Ebalena.  Jacob  Alvord 
miarried  Alar.  8,  1S64,  Lucy  A.  Hoffman,  and  has  children ;  Florence, 
b.  1867,  Lotta,  b.  1871,  Minnie  E.,  b.  1873,  Lucy  P.,  b.  1877,  and 
J.  M.  Alvord  of  Dayton,  O.  Five  of  the  sons  of  George  Alvord  were 
in  the  Civil  War.  Only  Jacob  and  William  PL,  were  living  in  1905. 
The  latter  who  lives  at  Cortland,  Neb.,  writes  that  some  of  his 
father's  brothers  lived  near  Hagerstown,  Pa.,  (It  is  probable  that 
the  above  branch  are  of  Dutch  ancestry  and  that  the  early  spelling 
was  Albert  and  not  Alvord,  hence  not  descendants  of  Alexander 
Alvord).

DATA  RECEIVED  TOO  LATE  FOR  INSERTION  IN  THE 

BODY  OF  THE  WORK. 

C.  A.  Hoppin,  Jr.,  sends  the  following  from  the  register  at  Ashill, 
Co.  of  Somerset,  England:  Richard,  son  of  Thomas  Alford,  bap- 
tized Feb.  9,  1616;  Elizabeth,  wife  of  Thomas  Alford,  was  buried 
June  11,  1617;  Thomas  Alford  and  Joan  Hawkins  married  May  11, 
1618;  Joan,  wife  of  Thomas  Alford,  was  buried  Aug.  1,  1622;  Rich- 
ard, son  of  Thomas  Alford,  was  buried  Jan.  6,  1624. 

The  above  tends  to  weaken  the  theory  advanced  on  page  15  which 
makes  Joan  Hawkins  the  mother  of  the  settler.  It  would  now  seem 
quite  probable  that  there  were  two  of  the  name  Thomas  Alford,  one 
of  Whitestaunton  and  the  other  of  Ashill,  but  on  the  other  hand  it 
is  to  be  noted  that  Ashill  and  Whitestaunton  are  only  five  miles  apart, 
also  that  during  the  four  years  (1619-22)  following  his  marriage 
to  Joan  Hawkins,  no  children  of  Thomas  Alford  were  recorded  as 
baptized  at  Ashill,  which  is  quite  singular.  May  it  not  reasonably 
be  believed  that  he  returned  to  Whitestaunton,  and  had  children  bap- 
tized there,  w^here  the  register  is  missing?  Joan's  baptism  (Dec.  8, 
1622)  may  have  been  deferred  four  months  by  reason  of  her  mother's 
death.  The  records  already  given  show  quite  conclusively  that 
Thomas  Alford  was  the  father  of  the  immigrants.  Whether  Joan 
Hawkins  was  the  m^other  may  well  be  questioned. 

The  will  of  Elisha  Alvord  (No.  507)  dated  Apr.  29,  1852,  gives 
the  following  regarding  the  children  of  William  Alvord  (No.  506)  : 
Emily,  wife  of  D.  Paddoc,  John  Alvord,  res.  at  Galine,  Mich. ;  Helen, 
wife  of  —  Kennons,  res.  Madison  Co.,  Wis.  Charles  xMvord  and 
George  Alvord  residing  at  Michigan  City,  Ind. ;  all  of  age. 

Mary  A.  Ward  married  Mar.  2,  1842,  Butler  Alvord  (No.  676). 
She  was  born  Holland  Patent,  N.  Y.,  Sept.  4,  1812,  daughter  of 
Asel  Ward  and  Patty  Hamlin,  formerly  of  Middletown,  Conn.  Mrs. 
Butler  Alvord  died  Feb.  26,  1889.
