PREFACE.

I THOUGHT at the onset that I would try and see how far back
my wife's ancestors could be traced. Upon finding the MS. of
the late Philip Capron, Esq., of Cumberland, K. I., I was
enabled to trace them to the first Capron in America. I then
thought I would endeavor to o;et all the descendants of Banfield
Capron.

Persons generally who have compiled Genealogies, have
traced only those of the surname of the original. I argued
that a man's daughters are as much related to him as his sons ;
hence, the issue of daughters are as much the descendants of
the text, as those of sons. Hundreds of family records are
herein found with names different from the text.

That I have been able to obtain names of all the descendants
of said Banfield Capron, and that these pages contain no errors
of fact or date, it would be presumptuous to assert ; but as this
little volume contains thousands of names, and has been the
result of thirteen months' labor and research, which can only
be rightly understood by persons who have got out similar works,
the writer, at the recjuest of many of the within named persons,
has concluded to have the same published for their perusal.
The author thinks the name of Capron is French, not English,
as is supposed by some. There is no coat of arms for Capron,
in any works of English Heraldry that he can find ; I have
never known or heard of an Englishman by the name of
Capron.

The name of Capron (I am informed,) is found on old grave
stones, near Erie, Pennsylvania ; and tradition says, persons

of tliat name came with the French when the latter built
Fort Du Quesue. There are none of the name now living, or
known, in that region ; those who survived, if any there were,
probably left with the French when the fort was given up.

There is in the French language the word " capron," which
means " hautboy, a strawberry of the largest sort," a very
beautiful representation of which may be seen in the U. S.
Patent Office Eeport, Agriculture for 1856.

The writer, while under obligations to many persons named in
the following pages, for assistance in his work, is particularly
indebted to Deacon T\Hliam C. Capron, of Uxbridge, Mass. ;
Adams WTiite, Esq., of Brooklyn, Conn. ; Hii-am Capron, Esq.,
of Paris, Canada West ; to Judge Elisha S. Capron, of New
York City, and to Hon. Joseph Willard Capron, of Attleboro',
Mass. F. A. H.

Millville, Mass., February 5, 1859.

INTRODUCTION.

A short historical account of Banfield Capron, "who came from
Old England and settled in New England ; of his descend-
ants ; and of the original families of the Scotts and Jenkses,
with whom the Caprons became connected by marriage, and
by blood akin. Written by Philip Capron in the year
1817, and in the 73d year of his age.

In my younger years I had but little inclination to inquire
after my ancient relations any further than the circle of my
acquaintance with them ; but of late years my mind has been
much engao-ed to inquire after them, and I have taken consider-
able pains to know from whence they came, where they settled,
of their connection by marriage, &c. Haying now collected all
the information about them that I ever expect to get, I have
thought proper to commit the same to writing, for the benefit of
those who may hereafter desire to obtain such information.

I would further mention, that I have obtained a great part of
my information about our first ancestor and his family, from a
number of his grandchildren, who lived near and were well
acquainted with them ; and from a number of other old people
who were, also, well acquainted with them ; and I believe their
information is as correct as it is possible to get it.

I was about seven years old when our first parent died ; but
do not remember of ever seeing him. Many things that have
occurred since his death are within my knowledge. The infor-
mation I have obtained from the Scotts and Jenkses is from
1=^

family recorcls, history, and from a number of old people, which
"svill be found in the following pages.

Let it be remembered, that Banfield Capron was the only
Capron, that we have any account of, that came from Old Eng-
land and settled in New England. From him, we believe,
descended all the Caprons that have been, or now (1817) are,
in the United States of America. He came from Ens-land in a
singular manner. He, with three other youths, each about 14
years old, and all schoolmates, mutually agreed to leave their
native land, their relations, and friends, and everything that
was near and dear to them, and go over to New England, (or,
Columbus' New World, as it was then frequently called.) They
knew of a vessel that was 2;oino; to New Euo-land : and the nio-ht.
before it sailed, they privately concealed themselves in the hold
of the vessel, with a small matter of provision to live on a few
days. The vessel sailed the next morning. After they had
been to sea a few days, there was a strange noise heard from the
hold. The hatchway was opened, and those four lads came upon
deck, to the surprise of all the ship's crew. The captain said
he must return with them, for it was against the law for any
captain of a vessel to transport any of the inhabitants of Eng-
land to America, except they got license to go there. But both
of the mates, and all the ship's crew, thought it best to proceed
on, and not return back ; and the captain finally fell in with
their opinion, and brought them all safe to New England. It
may at first appear very strange that those four youths should
leave their native land, and their relations &c., and come over to
New England ; but when we take into consideration the troubles
and calamities the people of England experienced during the
time they lived there and for many years before ; such as the
persecutions for religious tenets ; the civil wars ; beheading their
king ; the subversion of the government ; the plague which
swept oflf nearly 70,000 of the inhabitants in a short time ; the

great j&re, which in four days burnt over 436 acres of the city
of London, consuming 13,200 dwelling houses, 89 churches,
and all the other public and private buildings thereon ; almost a
continued war with the Dutch from the time of their birth till
their departure ; the rebellions in Scotland, &c. &c. ; when
these things are taken into consideration it will not appear so
very strange.

And perhaps there were hundreds, if not thousands, of others
that would gladly have availed themselves of a like oppor-
tunity.

History informs us that Oliver Cromwell and others were
shipped on board of a vessel to come to America, but were pre-
vented because they could not obtain licenses.

The name of the town or county that the said Banfield came
from is forgotten ; but it has been kept in remembrance, that he
came from the northerly part of England, and that the town
joined Wales. By examining the map of England, I find that
the county of Flint is the most northerly county in "Wales, bor-
dering on the sea ; that the county of Cheshire joins it ; that the
river Dee runs between them and empties into the sea near the
town of Chester, which is the largest town in the county of
Cheshire, and the only seaport town that joins Wales in the
northerly part of England. From these circumstances it is
reasonable to conclude, that the town of Chester was the native
place of the said Banfield.

I have not obtained any information where the said Banfield
lived for several years after he came to New England, or what
his business was ; but, soon after he came over, a family by the
name of Callender, with whom he was acc[uainted in England,
came over and settled in Rehoboth, who are said to have been
a very respectable family, and in affluent circumstances.

The said Banfield became acquainted with them again, and
afterwards married one of Callender's daughters, and settled in

8

tlie town of Barrington, joining Eebobotb, wbere he lived about
twenty years, according to best information I can get. In the
year 1779, my business led me into Barrington, and I was at
the house where the said Banfield jQrst settled. The old gentle-
man that lived there, whose name was Humphrey, after finding
out my name, told me that he bought his farm of one Banfield
Capron, who had a large family of children^ sons and daughters,
and sold in order to move back into the woods, (Attleborough,)
as it was then called, where he could get a greater cjuantity of
land. He accordingly purchased again in the town of Attle-
borough, where he lived till his death, which was August 20,
1752, being about ninety years old. Some think he was
considerably older. In the course of my inquiries, I found the
Bible that was the said Banfield 's. It is a large volume, and
is now owned by Abiel Brown, Esq., one of the grandchildren
of Banfield, who is now more than ninety years old. I was in
hopes of finding some records therein, to inform me of many
thino's ; but there is nothino- recorded in it now about the
Caprons, only the time of the birth of Banfield's oldest daughter,
which was his second child, and the mother of the said Brown.
She was born October 22, 1684. Brown informed me that
there were other records formerly on the blank leaves at the
beginning or end of the Bible, but had become loose and were
lost. Now supposing Banfield's first child was born in the year
1682 or '83, and that Banfield was twenty-one years old when
it was born, it would make him to be ninety years old, or more,
•when he died. The said Banfield was of a middling stature,
well-built, of a light complexion, blue eyes, and reddish hair.
He held out to be a very smart, active, and capable man in his
old age, to do business. He had twelve children, — six sons
and six daughters, — as I am informed by his grandchildren.
The name of one of the daughters is not remembered ; it is sup-
posed that she died young, while they lived in Barrington. I

9

am not able to name the rest in rotation as they were born,
therefore I shall name the sons first, and then the daughters,
which were as follows, to wit : Banfield, Joseph, Edward, Wal-
ter, John, Jonathan, Betsey, Mary, Hannah, Margaret, Sarah.
These children all lived to marry and have families.

I would observe, before I give any further account of his
children, that I am informed by Esquire Brown, that his grand-
father Capron lived with his first wife fifty-two years after they
were married. She is supposed to have been about seventy years
old when she died. He was well accjuainted with the Callender
family, who were frequently at his grandfather's and father's
houses visiting. He informed me that one of the daughters
married in Boston, by the name of Winter, or Winthrop ; that
two of their sons' names were John and Philip ; that they sold
their interest in Rehoboth a long time since, and moved into
the State of New Hampshire, near Dartmouth College. This is
all the information I have obtained about the Callenders.

The said Banfield married a second wife, by the name of
Blackington, but I have had no particular account of her.

I shall now give such information as I have obtained concern-
ing the said Banfield Capron 's children and their families, leav-
ing the oldest (who was my grandfather) for the last.

Joseph Capron was a farmer, and settled in Attleborouo-h.

o

He had two wives, by whom he had six children ; viz. : Joseph,
Hezekiah, Ehjah, Amey, Judith, and Ehoda. He lived to be
an old man, but his age I cannot ascertain.

Edward Capron was a shoemaker by trade. He settled in
West Greenwich, had two wives and a number of children. He
lived to be an old man.

Walter Capron was a forgeman, and settled in Groton, near
New London, Conn. The information I have obtained about
him and his family is by a letter from Giles Capron, one of his
sons, which is as follows : —

10

" Walter Capron, deceased, lived to the age of eiglitj'-four years.
He died possessed of a good farm in Groton. Had two wives ; by
the first he had seven children, — three sons and four daughters.
Their names were Samuel, Elkanah, William, Elizabeth, Alice,
Sylvia, and Sibbel. They all lived to be old people, and were all
married, except Elkanah, who died young. Samuel was lost at
sea ; he left a wife and one child.

" The children by his second wife were named Jared, Giles,
Simeon, and Hope. The oldest is dead, the rest are living in the
town of Preston. My sister is seventy years old, and in good cir-
cumstances. My age is sixty-six, and I am possessed of a good
farm. Simeon is an infirm man, and in low circumstances.

" The grandchildren of the said Walter are numerous, — how
many I cannot tell. The number of my grandchildi-en is forty-
four.

" Dated April 23^ 1814/'

John Capron was a seafaring man. He married, and his
family lived in the south of Cumberland, on the farm now
owned by Russell Jenks. He died of a fever at home, when he
was a young man, and left a widow and three children. Their
names were John, Banfield, and Keziah.

Jonathan Capron was a farmer, and lived with his father, in
Attleboro'. He married, and had eight children, viz. : Benja-
min, Jonathan, Elisha, Comfort, Elizabeth, Margaret, Hannah,
and Rebecca. He lived to be an old man.

Betsey Capron, the oldest daughter, married Captain John
Brown, and lived in Cumberland, by whom she had seven
children, viz. : John, Joseph, Philip, Abiel, Betsey, Eleanor,
and Margaret. She lived to an old ao^e.

Mary Capron, married Capt. Samuel Tyler, of Attleboro',
by whom she had seven children, — four sons and three dauo-h-
ters, viz. : Moses, Nathan, Ebenezer, Samuel, Mary, Huldah,
and Elizabeth.

Hannah Capron married David Aldrich, of Mendon, by
whom she had seven children : Edward, David, Peter, Jonathan,

11

Abner, Levi, and Margaret. She lived to be an old woman, but
her aoje I cannot ascertain.

Margaret C apron married William Arnold, Esq., of Smith-
field, by whom sbe had three children, Benedict, Gideon, and
Susannah. I have understood that she died soon after she had
her last child, and was but a young woman when she died.

Sarah C apron married Ralph Freeman, of Attleboro'. They
afterwards lived in Bellingham, and from there moved to Rich-
mond, Xew Hampshire, where they lived till their death. She
was a very old woman when she died, and had ten children, viz.:
Ebenezer, Benjamin, Nathan, Ralph, Samuel, Dan, Jemima,
Sarah (who died young), Esther, and Sarah.

I have o;iven a short account of ten branches of the first fam-
ily of C aprons, and have given the names of all the children,
except Edward Capron's. They make sixty-two grandchildren,
— thirty-seven males and twenty-five females, — which are of
the third generation. Of the grandchildren, five or six died
without issue, viz. : Benedict Arnold was not far from twenty
years old when he died. Sarah Freeman was about eighteen.
John Capron was about twenty-five. Samuel Tyler and Elka-
nah Capron died young, but at what age I cannot tell ; and I
do not know whether Hezekiah Capron married or not ; but the
others all maiTied and had families of children, which were very
numerous, and it is out of my power to enumerate them or to
give any further particular account concerning them ; therefore,
I shall only observe, that, of these sixty-two gi*andchildren,
nearly all lived to be men and women grown, and they gener-
ally lived to be old persons. More than forty of them lived to
be over seventy years old, and several to be ninety or more.

Abiel Brown is now (1817) living, and is more than ninety
years old. He is a smart, active man, retains his memory very
well, and is capable of doing considerable labor. I went to
see him, last fall, and in our conversation I asked him if he did

12

any work. He said, " I work every day." About two years
before, I was at his house, and he was making a set of wagon
wheels ; and the work was neatly executed. He is a very
ingenious man, and has followed the mill and wheelwright busi-
ness for more than sixty years.

I would further observe, that there is now of the seventh
generation of the Caprons ; that the fourth and fifth have become
very numerous, and have spread into divers parts of North
America. They have settled in the States of Connecticut,
Ehode Island, Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, Yermont,
New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Canada ; and how
many other places I cannot tell.

I shall now proceed to give an account "of the first Capron
born in New England, who was my grandfather. I have left
him for the last, as I have before mentioned, in order to give a
more particular account of him and his descendants than I have
done concerning the other branches of the first family, because
it is within my knowledge to do it.

Banfield Capron, 2d, was born in the year 1682-3, and
died August 16, 1752, being about seventy years old. Some
time before his death, a violent cancer broke out on his upper
lip, which ate off a part of his face, and was the cause of his
death. Before that time he was a capable man, and did an
abundance of hard labor for a man of his age. He was of
large stature, well built, very stout, bold, resolute, and perse-
vering in all his business ; of a light complexion, blue eyes,
and reddish hair. He was a mason by trade, did much work at
building chimneys in the neighboring towns and in Providence,
and was considered in his days to be one of the best of work-
men. He was a weaver, also, and did considerable at that
when he was not employed in other business. In those days
men did the greatest part of the weaving. He married Hannah
Jcncks, daughter of Nathaniel Jeucks, of Pawtucket, and

13

granddaugliter of Joseph Jencks, who was the first settler in
that place. They had twelve children, — six sons and six
daughters, whose names were Nathaniel, Charles, Philip, Ben-
jamin, Jonathan, and Oliver, Hannah, Betsey, Leah, Lydia,
Sarah, and Elizabeth.

I have been informed by a number of old people, who were
near neighbors to my grandfather and his family, that they
were very smart, active and handsome, while living, but a great
part of them, like the flowers of a garden, young, lovely, beauti-
ful and gay in the morning, and before noon, wither, droop and
die.

Nathaniel Capron, when about twenty years old, went to
sea, and has not been heard of since. About four years after,
as I have been informed, which would be in the year 1738, the
lung fever got into the family, and they were all sick with it,
excepting my grandfather and Leah, and Oliver, who was about
two years old ; he was taken from the family during the sick-
ness, and taken care of by one of his aunts. In a short time,
not more than two or three months after, six of the children,
with their mother, were dead, viz. : Philip, Benjamin, Jonathan,
Betsey, and Lydia. The fever was very violent, and seemed to
sweep everything before it. I have been informed by a number
of old people, who were neighbors and gave their assistance
during the sickness, that the distresses of the family were veiy
great indeed, and that my grandfather's fatigue and troubles
were so great that he could scarcely retain his senses at times.
At one time when the doctor came to see them, two of the family
lay dead in the house, and he told the doctor that he '* did not
know but he would kill all his family." The physician was so
grieved at being implicated as the means of their death, that he
wept like a child. It was thought, however, that he used every
means in his power to save their lives, according to his best
skill and judgment. His name was Thayer, and he was called a
2

14

very skillful physician. The metbod of treating fevers in those
days was very different from what it is now. 3Iy father, at the
time of this sickness, was living with my grandfather Scott, in
Bellingham ; yet he was with his father's family considerable,
and by that means caught the fever, and was sick at his father
Scott's. He was so sick that his life was despaired of. He craved,
very much, cold water, but the physician would not allow him to
drink any thing cold. At the time he was sickest, Peter Cook,
a young man about his age, one of his associates, came to watch
with him ; and after the family had retired to bed, my father
begged very hard for cold water, so hard that Cook went to the
well, and got some for him. Cook, thinking that he would not
live until morning, and that some cold water would do him no
hurt, gave him some, and found to his surprise that it relieved
him. He gave him some a second time, which also had
good effect. Being encouraged from this, he continued from
time to time to give him water during the night. In the morn-
ino^ he was in a moderate sweat, and the fever had turned.

This story I have heard my father and Cook tell a great
many times. They both considered that the water was the
means of saving his life. Cook, the last time I saw him, when
he was about ninety years old, said he once saved my father's
life by giving him cold water.

My grandfather married for his second wife, Sarah Brown,
the widow of Benjamin Brown. She again became a widow,
and lived several years after his death.

I shall now proceed to give an account of those which sur-
vived.

Leah Capron married Joseph Scott, of Bellingham, (my
mother's brother.) She had one child named Leah, and died
goon after, being between twenty and thirty years old.

Sarah Capron married David Scott, of Bellingham, (one of
my mother's cousins,) by whom she had nine children; —

15

Nathaniel, David, Sjlvanus, Ichabod, Welcome, Mary, Sarah,
Joanna, and Leah. She lost her husband when she was about
sixty years old, and has remained a widow since. She is now
(1817) living, being about eighty-five years old. She is a large
woman, with a good constitution, and has been a very capable
woman for business all her life.

Elizabeth Capron married Elkanah Spear, of Cumberland,
by whom she had three children : — Lydia, Cynthia, and Elka-
nah. He husband went as an officer in the French wars in
Canada, and there died of the small pox. She married, for her
second husband, Seth Hall, of Bellingham, by whom she had
five sons: — George, "William, Asa, Lemuel, and Benjamin.
She again became a widow, and remained so through the re-
mainder of her life. She died in June, 1798, aged sixty-four or
sixty-five years. She was a likely, prudent, saving and indus-
trious woman.

Oliver Capron was the youngest of the family. He was
born in July, 1736, and died July 31, or August 1, 1816,
being a few days over eighty years old. His father gave him,
by his will, all his real estate, being a small farm in the north
part of Cumberland. He married his cousin, Esther Freeman,
daughter of Ralph Freeman. They lived in Cumberland a few
years, and then moved to Richmond, New Hampshire. They
had seven children : — Nathan, Otis, Oliver, Thaddeus, Alpheus,
Hannah, and Elizabeth. Before he was married he went one
or two campaigns in the French War near Crown Point. In
the Revolutionary War he commanded a company of soldiers
one campaign, near Boston. He was afterwards promoted to a
colonel's commission, and commanded, a regiment of militia. He
was also a Justice of the Peace and a Representative to their
General Court, from Richmond, during several years. He was
a man of good natural abilities, with a taste for public business ;
and being naturally generous and obliging, he was made use of

16

in other people's business a great part of his time, which cansed
him to neglect his own too much, and, never haying but a small
interest, he got embarrassed. His oldest son lived in Canada,
near 31ontreal, who persuaded his father to sell his estate in
Kichmond and to move there, which he did. Soon after they
moved to Canada they had the small pox, which was fatal to his
wife. He afterwards married a second wife, who died within
one year after they were married. Meeting with much trouble
and disappointment, some loss of property, things not proving to
bis expectation, and his interest being nearly exhausted, he con-
cluded to move back into New Hampshire. He came to
Swanzey, and lived with his scn-in-law Wright for several years ;
then came to Cumberland, and tarried about two years with his
relations and old acquaintances. During this time his son-in-
law died, when he returned back and lived with his daughter
till his death, in 1816. He was a stout, spry, and an active
man, well built, rather more than middling stature, light com-
plexion and reddish hair.

I shall now give an account of my father and his family. My
grandfather was the first C apron born in New England, and my
father was his oldest son that had issue ; and as I propose that
this narrative should follow the oldest male branches, from ^en-
eration to generation, I have left my father for the last, and shall
endeavor to give a particular account of him and his family.
(See remark on a preceding page.) The way I reckon the
oldest male line is as follows, viz : — Banfield Capron. who
came from England, I will call the first generation ; his son
Banfield I call the second ; Charles, the son of Banfield 2d, the
third ; Philip, the son of Charles, the fourth ; Silas, the son of
Philip, the fifth; Burrill, the sou of Silas, the sixth; and Philip,
the son of Burrill, the seventh.

Charles Caprox was born in October, 1716. and died 3Iay 9,
1789, in the seventy-third year of his age. He married Mary

Scott, daughter of Joseph Scott, of Belllngham. Her mother's
maiden name was Jenks, and she was cousin to my grandmother
Capron. They had eleven children, — five sons and six daugh-
ters. Their names, with the time of their respective births and
deaths, the names of their respective husbands or wives, with the
time cf their respective deaths, &c., &c., may be found on the
twenty-seventh page of this book.

It may be observed that this large family, consisting of eleven
children, all lived till the youngest was more than fifty years old,
and their average age at that time was more than sixty years, —
which is very remarkable for so large a family. There is but
one instance within my knowledge that exceeds it ; and that is
the family of Moses Aldrich, of Mendon, the Quaker preacher.
His family consisted of twelve children. When the first died
the youngest was more than sixty years old, and they lived to
between seventy and eighty, and from eighty to ninety years.
The mother was nearly a hundred years old when she died.

From what has been written in the foregoing pages, it may be
observed that my father's family were very near akin to the
Scott and Jencks families. For this reason, before I make men-
tion of them individually, I shall give a short account of the
orisfinal families of Scott and Jencks, until the time that the
connection between the two families took place.

Richard Scott and two brothers came from England to
Boston. One settled in Boston, one in Newport, and Richard
joined Roger Williams' company at Providence. He was ad-
mitted by them an equal tenant in common in all the lands
which Roger Williams had purchased of two Xarraganset
sachems, Canannicus and Miautonorai, which consisted of the
county of Providence and a large part of the county of Kent.
From several circ urn. stances it is presumed that he was young
■when he came to Providence. It appears that he made choice
of land near Whipple^ s Bridge, in Smithfield, for his settlement.

2*

18

It is now (1817) owned by Jeremiab Scott. He lived there
till King Philip's War, and was then killed by an Indian.

He had built him a house for defence, thick studded, filled
between with brick and mortar. He used to stay in his house
nights, while others went into the fort at Pawtucket for security
against the Indians. One morning he went to his door, and while
he was looking to see if he could see any enemy near the house,
an Indian, from an ambush, shot an arrow into his bowels, which
caused his death. All the information I can obtain concerning
his family is, that he had one son only that outlived him, whose
name was Sylvanus, and who was the only heir and possessor of
all his father's property. In the course of my inquiry I found
the Bible which is supposed to have been Richard Scott's origi-
nally. It is in two large quarto volumes, and appears to be
very ancient. It is now owned by my aunt, A. Wilkinson, who
is a granddaughter of the said Sylvanus Scott. In this Bible I
found a record of the said Sylvanus's children, which is as
follows : - —

John Scott ; born September 30, 1694.
Catharine ; born March 31, 1696.
Joseph ; born August 15, 1697.

From this large family there has descended a very numerous
offspring. I shall give an account where the miles settled and
when the females married.

19

Jonx Scott settled on tbe plain, near what is called tlie great
meadow hollow, where the road from Pawtucket joins the great
county road. He owned great possessions on the plain and
meadow.

Joseph Scott, (who was my grandfather,) and Syltanus
Scott, both settled in Bellingham on excellent land. They
owned also large tracts of land in other parts. Samuel and
Saul Scott, grandchildren to Joseph, own a part of their grand-
father's first settlement.

CuARLES Scott settled in Cumberland, on a very Taluable
tract of land, a part of which is now owned by his grandson
Nathaniel Scott.

Jeremiah Scott died without issue. He gave his estate to
his brother Nathaniel. They being the youngest sons, their
father had given them by his Will '' all his real estate," being
the original settlement of the said Eichard Scott.

Nathaniel had but one heir, whose name is Jeremiah, and
he now (1817) owns and lives on the same. It is a rare thing
to find one of the first settlements in the State continue by heir-
ship in the original name to this day. Some years ago Col.
Nightingale told Die that there was but one single lot in the
town of Providence, (which contains six acres,) but had been
transferred from the original owner's name ; and that lot was
owned by the descendants of Roger Williams, and has descended
to the present owner by heirship.

Catharine Scott married Nathaniel Jenks, second son of
Gov. Joseph Jenks, of Pawtucket.

Rebecca Scott married John Wilkinson, of Smithfield, from
whom have descended a large number of very respectable
people, among them are the Wilkinsons at Pawtucket, &c.

Esther Scott married Thomas Sayles, Esq., of Smithfield,
who was a very respectable and capable man, and from him has
descended a family of superior abilities.

20

JoAN'NA Scott married Judge Daniel Jenks, son of Elder
Ebenezer Jenks. They first settled in Smithfield, but soon
moved to Providence, where they resided till their deaths. He
accumulated a very great interest, principally by trading at sea,
being very fortunate. It was said that at one time he traded as
much at sea as all the other people in Providence. History
says he was a member of the Baptist Church in Providence
forty-eight years ; a member of the General Assembly forty
years, and Chief Justice of the Court of Common Pleas about
thirty years. He had only one son, who was a man of superior
abilities.

Sarah Scott, the youngest daughter, married Gov. Stephen
Hopkins, of Providence. His character and abilities are well
known, beins: a noble statesman.

Joseph Scott, (my grandfather,) married Elizabeth Jenks, of
Lynn, Mass., by whom he had seven children: — Mary, (my
mother,) Elizabeth, John, Samuel, Joseph, George and Abigail.
John and his father died within a few hours of each other, of a
fever. The father was aged about forty years. His widow
lived till she was about seventy years old.

I shall now give a brief account of the original families of
Jenks.

Joseph Jexks was born in Buckin2;hamshire, Eno^land, in
1632. He and a brother, when young, came to Lynn, Mass.
His brother concluded to settle at Lynn, but Joseph went in a
short time to Pawtucket, R. I., where he built a house, which
was the first house built by a white man at that place ; which
house, it is said, remains to this day (1817), and is now owned
by the widow and heirs of the late Ichabod Jenks. He
afterwards built him a forge to make bar iron, which was burnt
in King Philip's War by the Indians. It was soon rebuilt, and
vast quantities of iron were made in it for more than a hundred
years. History says the Jenks family mostly resided in Paw-

21

tucket and its yicinity for nearly a liundrecT years ; and tliey all
descended from the Hon. Joseph Jenks, Esq. He had four
children, all sons, who are reputed to have been very eminent
men. Their names were Joseph, Nathaniel, Ebenezer, and
William.

Joseph Jenks filled many important offices in the State, (or
Colony, as it was then called.) and was an ambassador to the
Court of St. James for several years, on business of the Colony.
He was afterwards appointed Governor of the Colony. He
held this office for five years, and was solicited to remain longer
in the chair of state, but declined on account of age.

Major Nathaniel Jenks was a very respectable man, of good
abilities, and had a large family. His daughter Hannah was
my grandfather's wife.

Ebenezer Jenks was ordained Pastor of the Baptist Church
in Providence, and continued to administer to that church till
his death. He refused serving in any civil office, except the
surveyorship of the proprietary of Providence.

William Jenks was a Judge of the Court in Providence for
a considerable time. From him has descended a large family of
very respectable men, according to the account given in the
history of the Jenkses.

I have now f>;iven a short account of the oris-inal families of
the Scotts and Jenkses, till the connection of the families with the
Caprons took place. I would further observe, that there was a
corresponding connection in friendship and business between the
families of Jeremiah Scott, Governor Jenks and brothers, and
Banfield Capron, as well before as after their connection in
marriage. They all lived within a few miles of each other, and
were in those days like near neighbors in these days.

At the forge in Pawtucket, commonly called the Jenks
forge, Joseph and Sylvanus Scott, and their brother-in-law

22

David Jenks, Walter Capron, and his brother-in-law David
Aldrieh, all learned the art of making iron. Af erwards, Daniel
Jenks, Joseph and Sjlvanus Scott, purchased a privilege of
John Arnold at "Woonsocket Falls, and built a forge, where they
manufactured iron for several years. They then sold it to the
late Judge Thomas Arnold, Judge Caleb x\ldrich, and Robert
Aldrieh, Esq.

Dr. Thaddeus Capron, son of Col. Oliver and Esther, studied
medicine and became an M.D. I am informed by Gilbert
Capron, Esq., that " about the time he commenced practicing
he had some difficulty about a horse he hired, which ran away
and hurt or killed it ; and being likely to get into trouble by it,
he left suddenly, and has never since been seen or heard from
by his relatives."

I mention this circumstance as it happened more than three

C A P R 0 N FAMILY.

The following facts concerning Capt. Aldricli were communi-
cated to me by his grandson, Paine Aldrich, Esq., of Worcester,
Mass.

" Capt. Levi Aldrich was sixteen years old, the very day his
son, Major Rufus Aldrich, was born. He was a blacksmith, and
had a trip-ham.raer, a very remarkable thing in those days ; and
he kept a public house' in Mendon, Mass., near the Bellingham
line. Public vendues, sales of cattle, &c., &c., were held at
his house. He was a very large man, but having a small hand
and foot, although the calf of his leg was enormously large.
Near his tavern a brook crossed the road. The auctions at his
inn were usually well attended by the neighbors, especially by
a number of men named Streeter, quite diminutive in size, who
were generally present. One day, but two of them having ar-
rived, some one said, ' Capt. Aldrich, where are the Streeters?'
' You wont see them here to-day,' said the Captain. ' I set one
of my boots by the brook out here, the other day, and caught
seven of them in it in one nio-ht.' "

I am'informed by my antiquarian friend, P. S. Thayer, Esq.,
of Millville, Mass., that " when Capt. Levi Aldrich died, A.D.
1796, he weighed over three hundred pounds. He was so very
large they were obliged to take the casings off the doors to get
the coffin out of his house. Ten of his children attended his
funeral, and after he was buried they were weighed, and the
aggregate of all their weights was over twenty-one hundred
pounds."

Mr. Samuel Cook, now (1859) living in (this town). Black-
stone, Mass., was present at the above funeral, and '"'remem-
bers the circumstance distinctly of taking off the door casings."
