THE NEWBERRY FAMILY.

IN y* Year of our Lord 1629, Divers Godly Persons in
Devonshire, Somersetshire, Dorcetshire & other places,
Proposed a Remoue to New England, among whom were two
Famous Ministers, viz. Mr. John Maverick (who I suppose
was somewhat advanced in Age) and Mr. John Warham (I
suppose a ^'ounger Man), then a Preacher in y* City of Ezon,
or {Exeter, in 3*"* County of Devon. These good People met
together at Plymouth, a Seaport Town in y* S* County of
Devon, in order to Ship tbemsclues & Families for New Eng-
land; and because they designed to Hue together after they
should arriue here, they met tc^ether in the New Hospital in
Plymouth and Associated into Church Fellowship, and Chose
y* S' Mr. Mauerick and Mr. Warham to be their Ministers and
Officers keeping y* Day as a Day of Solemn Fasting & Prayer,
and y* S*^ Ministers accepted of y* Call & Expressed y* same ;
the Revd. Mr. John White of Dorchester in Dorcet (who was an
active Instrument to promote y* Settlement of New England,
and I think a means of procuring y* Charter) being present &
Preaching }-• fore part of y* Da}', and in y* latter part of y* Day,
they performed y* work aforesaid.

This People being too many in Number to come in one Vessel,
they hired one Capt Squeb to bring them in a large Ship of 400
Tons ; they set Sail from Plymouth y* 20*** of March 1629-30,
and arriued at Nantasket (now Hull) y« 30^ of May 1630, . . .
They had agreed with Capt. Squeb to bring them into Charles

River, but he was false to his bargain & would not come any
further than Nantasket, where he turned them and their Goods
Ashore on y* point, leaving them in a forlorn Wilderness desti-
tute of any habitation & most other comforts of life. But it
pleased God, they got a Boat of some that had staid in y*
Country, . . . and put their goods in y* Boat, and Instead of
Sailing up to Charles River in a Ship were forced (as I suppose)
to Row up in a Boat, it being about 3 Leagues to y* Mouth of
y* River. They went up y* River until it grew narrow & Shal-
low, & then put ashore & built a hut to shelter their Goods,
Intending there to set down, it being about y* place where
Watertown now is. The Indians upon their arrival Mustered
thick, they thought about 300, but having with them an Old
Planter as they called him, one that had stayed in the Country
& could speak something of the Indian Language, (I suppose
they took him from Charlestown that now is, for they called
there & saw several Wigwams & one English Man in an Hquse
where the}' ate boiled Bass, but had no Bread to eat with it)
they sent him to y"* Indians, who were persuaded to keep at
a distance y* first night, and y* next morning when the Indians
appeared, they otfered no violence but sent some of their
number holding out a Bass; our people sent a man with a
Bisquet, <& so they exchanged not only then but often after-
wards, a bisquet for a Bass, and y* Indians were very friendly
to them, which our people ascribed to God's watchful Provi-
dence ouer them in their weak beginnings ; for all the Company
were not gone up y* River, but about Ten men to seek y* way
for y* Rest. . . . They had not sta3-ed here at Watertown but
a few days but y* Rest of their Company below had found out
a neck of Land Joyning to a place called by y* Indians Matta-
pan, (now Dorchester) that was a fit place to turn their Cattle
upon to prevent their straying ; so they sent to their friends to
come away from Watertown, and settled at Mattapan, & tnrni»d
their Cattle upon y^ S^ neck, then called Mattapannock now
called Dorchester Neck. They began their Settlement here at

Mattapan y* beginniDg of June as I suppose, or thereabout,
A. D. 1630, and changed y* name into Dorchester, calling it
Dorchester Plantation.

Why they called it Dorchester I have never heard, but there
was some of Dorcet Shire, & some of y* Town of Dorchester
that settled here ; and it is very likely it might be in Honour of
y* aforesaid Revd. Mr. White of Dorchester.

Our People were Settled here a month or two before Governor
Winthrop & y* Ships that came with him arriued at Charles-
town, so that Dorchester Plantation was settled next to y* Town
of Salem in y* Massachusetts Colony, being before Charlestown
or Boston : And y* Church of Dorchester y* oldest Church in
y' Colony Except Salem ; and I suppose y* only Church that
came over in ^Church Fellowship, the other Churches being
gathered here. The Indians here at Dorchester were also kind
to our People.

The first Inhabitants of Dorchester came chiefly from y* S''
Countys of Devon, Dorcet & Somerset, and I think from some
other places. They were a very Godly & Religious people;
and many of them Persons of Note and figure, being dignified
with y* Title of Master ; which but few in those days were.^

Unfortunately for the student of history, the first four
pages of the earliest volume of Dorchester Town Records,
covering the period down to January, 1632-8, as also the
Church Records prior to August, 1686, are lost

Governor Winthrop, in his History of New England,
under date of June 24, 1688, says : —

*'A ship arrived from Weymouth, with about eighty passen-
gers, and twelve kine, who sate down at Dorchester." '

8 THE NEWBERRY FAMILY.

Whether Thomas Nswbebby was one of the passengers,
we do not know, but certainly he was a resident of Dor-
chester on the 1st of September, 1684, at which date we
find these entries on the Town Records : —

'^ Item — It is ordered that M' Newberj shall have 80 acres for
his accommodation in the Plantation."

" Item It is ordered that M' Newbery is to have for his purchase
that he bought of M' Pincheon the house M' Pincheon. built 40
acres of upland ground to the house 40 of marsh 20 acres in
Quantq necke." *

On the 8d of September, 1634, he was admitted a free-
man of the Colony of Massachusetts Bay,^ which shows he
must have been a member of the Church at Dorchester, in
accordance with the following vote passed by the General
Court at a session held in Boston in May, 1631 : —

^' & to the end the body of the comons may be preserved of hon-
est & good men, it was likewise ordered and agreed that for time
to come noe man shalbc admitted to the freedome of this body
polliticke, but such as are members of some of the churches
within the ly mitts of the same." ^

At a town meeting held October 28, 1634, he was one of
the " Tenn men chosen to order all the afifayres of the Plan-
tation, to continue for one yeere " ; and he was re-elected
in November, 1635.* He was a Deputy to the General Court
held " att Newe Towne," March 4, 1634-5, and May 6th
following.^ At the latter session he was " chosen ouerseer
of the worke att Castle Ileland, in the roome of Roger

power to presse men for the worke, that Mr Ludlowe hadd,
as also to presse carts for such allowance as hee thinks
meete." ^ At the session of July 8, 1635, it is recorded,
" Mr Neweberry & Will" Phelpes are appoyncted to sett out
the bounds betwixte Wessaguscus & Barecove." ^

At a session of the General Court, held March 4, 1634-6,
there was ^^ a hundred acres of ypland ground & an hundred
acres of meadowe ground graunted to M' Thomas Newberry,
lyeing nexte to the lands of M' Israeli Stoughton, aboute 8

M' Nathaniell Duncan, Mr Demicke, Thomas Ford and

to take it over the Water." *

The date of Thomas Newberry's death does not appear on
the Dorchester records as now preserved, but it must have
occurred between December 12, 1635, and January 28, 1686,
a period of thirteen months, as is proved by his will and
inventory, which are number 1 of Suffolk County Probate
Files, and are of a date prior to the entries in the first volume
of the Probate Becords.

The Last will & testament of M' Thomas Newberry of the Church
of Christ of Dorchester who beeiuge iu pffect memory the

This present day there was returned into the Court by Mr

Unfortunately the " Coppy " has not been preserved, but
on pages 2, 3, 4, 6, 6, and 7 of Volume 1 of the Windsor
Land Records, lands are recorded under date of October 10,

1640, to the seven children of Thomas Newberry by " grant
from the Plantation." About September, 1645, there was
presented the following petition : —

" Southwest from the Mill," 4 acres in the Great Meadow,
and "over the Great River" a tract ten rods wide and

Joseph Newbebbt, according to the evidence now
attainable, was the eldest son of Thomas Newberry (1) of
Dorchester, but the date of his birth is unknown. There
is recorded to him on the land records of Windsor, Con-

berry lOJ acres of meadow near Podunk.^ June 24, 1644,
he sells to John Wareham 1| acres of land '^with the
standing frame thereon." ^ On leaf 6 of the Henry Wol-
cott ledger, preserved in the library of the Connecticut
Historical Society, there is an account with Joseph New-
berry. The last entry is dated April 23, 1648, and proves
him to have been living at that time. He soon disappears
from the town, and all further trace of him is lost.

Benjamin Newbebby. second son of Thomas New-
berry (1) of Dorchester, Massachusetts, was by far the
most prominent of any of his children, all of whom before
1640 became residents of Windsor, Connecticut In the
first volume of Windsor Town Votes, we find it recorded,
that

" The Townesmen mett Mrch the 9*** ^J and concluded
That M^ Newbery shal take care for making and coppyng out
the several rates y* are to be gathered and to gather the Towne
rate and dispose of it accord to y" several occasions of the
Towne and to be payd for his paynes herin."

Also,

"The Townesmen being met on Munday the 13 Sept** 58.

are wanting and to bringe them to y* water side."

He was chosen one of the Townsmen in 1656, 57, 58, 59,
60, 61, 67, 71, and 72, a Lister in 1663 and 1687. In 1677
he was appointed one of the committee to seat the meeting-
house, and

'' At a Towne Meting, June 23, 1685,"

" It was voated y* y* Towne wold have a pattent according to

He was a Deputy from Windsor to the General Court of
Connecticut for fifty sessions, from May, 1656, to October,
1684, both inclusive, and at the Court of Election held in
May, 1685, he was chosen one of the Assistants, which
position he held (except during the usurpation of Andros,
October, 1687, to May, 1689) for the rest of his life, being
present at a session which opened eight days before his
death. He was annually appointed a Commissioner for
Windsor from May, 1669, to May, 1684, both inclusive, and
chosen to this oflSce by his townsmen in May, 1688. Gov-
ernor Andros appointed him Justice of the Peace for Hart-
ford County in November, 1687.^

At a session of the Particular Court, held June 7, 1660,
he was appointed Captain of the Train Band of Windsor.^
In July, 1666, the General Assembly appointed " Goucrn'

the militia or any part thereof as they shall judge meet, to
appoint and commissionate officers how and which way to
act and proceed soe as in their best judgm^ may most
aptly conduce to a present preuention of the enemies
designe and the conseruation of the Colony and the peace
of the Plantations and people inhabiting the same." ^ In
June, 1672, various vacancies on the committee were filled.
" And in case any forces should be drawn from one county
into another, it is by this Court ordered that the cheife
millitary officer of that county where the forces are shall
command in cheife all the forces in that county that belong
to their county or that com from other countyes to their
releife. And it is hereby declared that till farther order
be taken, Capt^ Nathan Gold shall be deemed cheife milli-
tary officer of the county of Payrefield, and Capt** Wm.
Curtice his second ; . . . and Capt° John Tallcott for the
county of Hartford, and Capt" Benjamen Newbery his
second." 2 In August, 1673, this committee was superseded
by the " Grand Committee," of which he was a member,
and was appointed Captain of any forces that might be
sent out of the county.*

In November of this year, the General Court at a special
session passed an act establishing a ^' standing Councell of
Warr in this Colony," which " shall haue full power to act
as a Councill of Warr in establishing or commissionateing

memberfl/ which position he held until after February
1676-7.

At a meeting of the Council held August 6, 1675, it was
ordered that a company of one hundred dragoons should
be raised in Hartford County ^^ to be in readiness upon an
bower's warning for a march, whoe are to haue their armes
well fixed and fitted for seruice." ^ Twenty days later it
was voted that " Capt. Newbery being of the Councill and
his attendance being necessary is released from his at-
tendance as Capt. of the dragoones that are to goe out
of the county of Hartford, and L'^ Nicholas Olmsteed is
appoynted their Captaine."^

May 20, 1676, he was appointed to the command of a
body of eighty men from Hartford and the neighboring
towns, which were " raysed to march to North Hampton,
upon Munday next, there to continnue for the defence of
those plantations, for the present" *

The following letters from him while on this expedition,
will give some idea of the trials to which the early settlers
were subjected.

BENJAMIN NEWBEREY. 27

In March, 1662-3, the General Court appointed him and
two others as a committee ^' to laj out all those lands that
are yet vndevided at Mussaco,* to such inhabitants in Wind-
sor as desire and need it";^ and in 1668 the committee
were given further instructions regarding the division of
lands, and the making of a settlement there.

In October, 1664, he with four others was appointed " a
Committee in the behalfe of this Colony to use their en-
deauours to issue and setle the bownds of the Colony
between the Bay and vs, and Road Island and vs, and
o' Sowth bownds " ; * and in May, 1666, he was appointed
one of a committee ^^ to settle the matter in difference be-
twixt Stonington Inhab^ and the Indians at Coassatuck."

He dealt very extensively in real estate.

The records show that he purchased numerous other
tracts of land.

In October, 1667, the General Assembly granted " Mr
Thomas Stanton & Capt*^ Newbery the sume of Two Hun-
dred & Fifty Acres of land a piece for a farme, whereof
there may be thirty acres apiece of meadow if it may be
fownd."2

Bbnjamin Nbweebby married, June 11, 1646, Maby
AtiTiYN, daughter of Matthew Allyn of Hartford and
Windsor.

The General Assembly, at a session which commenced
September 3, 1689, still further honored him by promoting
him to the position of Major of the Hartford County Regi-
ment of militia.^ He was not destined to bear his new
honors long, for on the Windsor records we find that
" Major Benjamin Newbery dyed September 11, 1689."

Mrs. Mary (Allyn) Newberry died July 29, 1689.

On the Hartford Probate Records, under date of Novem-
ber 11, 1689, appears this entry: —

JOHN NEWBERRY. 85

John Newbebby, youngest son of Thomas Newberry (1)
of Dorchester, Massachusetts, was probably born about 1680.
With the rest of his father's children, he became a resident
of Windsor, Connecticut, where it is recorded : —

^^ Octob. 10, 1640 John Nuberry hath graunted from the plan-
tation southwest from the mill thirteeue acres, the breadth
thirteene rodd more or less the length fr6 Arthur Williams lott
backe west eight schoore rodd bounded north by Henry Woolcott
South by Benjamin Nuberrj'.

" In the greate meade thre acre the breadth three rodd more or

^'Ouerthe greate river towards Podancke one acre three quar-
ters of meade the breadth foure rodd more or lesse the length
from the river backe to the swampe seventytwo rodd bounded

^*- Over the greate river in breadth ten rodd more or lesse, the

rodd, the breadth twenty one rodd with the ditch it bound north by

The records of the Particular Court of Connecticut show
that he was living December 2, 1647.* It is inferred that

Like lier brothers and sisters, she is recorded, October 10,
1640, as having at Windsor, Connecticut, " by grant from
the Plantation '* 13 acres Northwest from the Mill, 4 acres
in the Great Meadow, and " over the Great River " a tract
10 rods wide and 8 miles long, also 1 acre near Podunk.
Later she was also ^^ possessed by virtue of the death of
John Nubery " of a tract over the Great River 20 rods wide
and 8 miles long.^

REBECCA NEWBERRY RUSSELL. 87

She became the second wife of JoHir Rtjbsesll, Pastor
of the churches in Wethersfield, Conn., and Hadley, Mass.
The date of her marriage is not on record, but in the Henry
Wolcott Ledger before referred to is " a noate of the aples
I sould 1651," and among the charges we find ^^ It. to brother
Russell 6 bushel 1 - 4 - 0." This would seem to prove that
the marriage took place before 1652.

Hannah Newbesby, daughter of Thomas Newberry (1)
of Dorchester, Massachusetts, was but a young child at
her father's death. With the widow aud other cliildren she
soon became a resident of Windsor, Connecticut, where,
October 10, 1640, there was recorded to her as a grant
from the Plantation 13 acres Northwest from the Mill, 4
acres in the Great Meadow, and " over the Great River " a
tract 11 rods wide and 3 miles long, also one acre near
Podunk. Later, she became " possessed by virtue of the
death of John Nubery " of a tract over the Great River 20
rods wide and 3 miles long, beside other lands bought of her
sister Rebecca.^

She married, date unknown, Thouab Hanfobd, Pas-

was the father of the first wife of the Rev. John Rassell. Mr. Talcott,
in his will made in August, 1659, gives property '* to my grandchild,
John Rassell." Later in the will, he provides, that in case the said
grandchild died before the age of 21, the property should go to Jona-
than Rassell. It is very significant that, in the same clause where he
refers to John Rassell as " my grand child," he mentions Jonathan
Rassell without using any word to indicate relationship.

HANNAH NEWBERRY HANFORD. 89

entry in the first volume of Norwalk Town Votes is dated
December 18, 1653, and relates to the building of ^^Mr
Hanfords house."

Hannah (Newberry) Hanford died some time prior to
October 22^ 1661, when her husband married, second, Widow
Mary Ince of New Haven. The date of Rev. Thomas Han-
ford's death is not on record. On page 402 of Volume 1 of
the Fairfield Probate Records is entered the inventory of
the estate of Rev. Tliomas Hanford of Norwalk, ^Uate
dec'd." The inventory is dated January 4, 1693, and shows
property amounting to X681 Ts. 6d. The " Widow, her
son Eliezer Hanford and her soninlaw John Edwards"
were appointed Administrators.

Rev. Thomas Hanford had several children, but none
of them were the issue of his marriage with Hannah
Newberry.

Thouab Nswhibbby (JBenjaminhi ThomaBl) was bom
in Windsor, Connecticut, September 1, 1657. He married,
March 12, 1676-7, Awn Fobd. Whether she was a rela-
tive or not of Thomas Ford, one of the settlers of Windsor,
and later a resident of Northampton, it has been impossible
to determine. In anticipation of his marriage, Thomas re-
ceived from his father a deed of four tracts of land on the
East side of Connecticut River. We print the deed in full,
as recorded on page 264 of Volume 1 of the Land Records
of Windsor.

Cap! Benjamin Nubery personally appeared This Eighth day
of ffebf one Thousand Six Hundred and Seventy Six and ac-
knowledged the above written Deed, of Gifb to be his free and

voUentary act & Deed, before me,

John AUyn, Assis!

Thomas is believed to have resided on the first piece
described in the foregoing deed, part of which is still in
the possession of his descendants. A very old house stood
on the west side of the highway, a short distance north of
the present South Windsor Congregational Church, and
was torn down some time after the erection of this Church
in 1845. There are good reasons for believing that Thomas
Newberry resided in this house.

At a town meeting held February 4, 1684, he was chosen
fence viewer for that part of the town east of the " Great
River '' ; and in January following was one of a committee
appointed to perambulate the line between the towns of
Hai*tford and Windsor on the east side of Connecticut
River.

He died April 80, 1688. From the Records of Births,
Marriages, and Deaths, in the City Clerk's oflSce, Spring-

The settlement of the estate seems to have been delayed
until 1705, when we find this entry on page 67 of Vol. 7,
under date of April 26 : —

^' Joseph Leonard of Springfield, Administrator on the Estate
of Thomas Newberry formerly of Windsor dec^, presented to
this Court an acoompt of his administration of the said Estate,
upon examination whereof, this Court do not See cause to Allow
the Same, but do order that the Said Joseph Leonard Shall
again appear, & render a plain & true acco' of his Said adminis-
tration to this Court, in September next, and that he now give
bond with Surety So to do, And the S"^ Joseph Leonard and
Mathew Allyn of Windsor before this Court, acknowledged
themselves to Stand bound to the Treasury of this Count}^ in a
Recognizance of £100. The Condition whereof is, that the S^
Joseph Leonard Shall appear and render a true acco^ to this
Court as is above ordered. And This Court do Order & appoint
Benjamin Newberry of Windsor, the present Administrator on
the Estate of the Said Thomas Newberry to render acco' of his
administration in September next."

According to adjournment, Leonard appeared before
the Court in September, and presented his administration

find him rated at £71. 5s. In the report of the committee
appointed to seat the meeting-house in February, 1722-3,
we find that he was to sit in '^ the pew by the great
dore."i

On the Records of the Hartford County Court for No-
vember, 1736, there appears this entry : " This Court do
Establish and Confirm MF Jo? Newberry, Mf Thomas Grant,
Mr Joseph Rockwell and M! Gershom Loomiss to be Ser-
jeants of the South Company or Trainband on the East Side
Connecticutt River in the Town of Windsor."

Joseph Newberry died August 30, 1751, in the sixty-
eighth year of his age. The gravestone erected to his
memory is still to be seen in the old graveyard in South
Windsor, and is the oldest to any of the name in that town.
There was no probate action on his estate. In 1764 the
two sons divided the real estate between them^ Benjamin
taking the north half and Joseph the south half of the
home lot. In the deeds of partition no mention was made
of his widow or daughter Sarah.

His widow Sarah (Loomis) Newberry was buried July
31, 1771.

JOSEPH NEWBERRY. 66

11.

JosEiFH NswBiSBBY (Joseph 10, Thomas 9, Benjamin 6,
Thomas 1) was born January 11, 1709-10. He was nearly
foi-ty years old when he married July 6, 1749, SYHEEi
Stouohton, born June 9, 1730, daughter of William and
Elizabeth (^Strickland') Stoughton. He was elected fence-
viewer in 1740 and '43 ; Surveyor of Highways in 1744 ;
Tithingman in 1745 and '66 ; Lister in 1746 and '47 ; and
brander of horses from 1748 to 1772, inclusive. Joseph
" Nuberry " is mentioned in " An acct. of ye Men that went
upon an Expedition into y* frontiers," December 19, 1745,
in the company commanded by Captain Ebenezer Grant.'
He is believed to have been this Joseph, who was still un-
married, rather than his father, who was then sixty-one
years old, and the head of a family.

February 22, 1754, Joseph and his brother Benjamin
divided between them the real estate left by their father
Joseph at his death, which was situated in the towns of
Windsor, Barkhamsted, and Torrington. Joseph deeded to
Benjamin " the North half of the lot where my father lived,
and both of us now live," lying partly east and partly west
of the country road, and bounded north by lands of Na-
thaniel and Hezekiah Porter and Richard Skinner, south on
land of John Wolcott, and west on Connecticut River.
The whole lot being forty rods wide and three miles long.
Benjamin deeded to Joseph the south half of this lot, in-
cluded in the before mentioned boundaries.^

In 1760, the inhabitants of the Second Society in Windsor
petitioned the General Assembly to appoint a committee to
locate the site for a new meeting-house to be erected in the

said society. The committee reported in May, 1761, " that
they repair'd to said society, view'd the parts and heard
the parties, and affixed a stake on the west side of the street
near the course of the line between the lands of Mr. Benja-
min Newberry and Mr. Joseph Newberry on which their
dwelling houses stand, which stake is to be included within
the sills of said meeting house." ^ The General Assembly
accepted this report, and the meeting-house was accordingly
built on this site.

Joseph Newberry died January 28 or 29, 1797, at the
advanced age of 87, having outlived his wife Sybil (Stough-
ton) Newberry, who died May 6, 1794.

Joseph left a will, which was dated April 9, 1784. In it
he gave his wife Sybil one third of the personal estate abso-
lutely, and the life use of one third of the real estate. To
John, "the eldest son now living," £20 in one year. To
daughter Ann, wife of Warham Moore, <£60 in one year
after death of testator, and the remainder of the estate to
three sons, John, Joseph, and Dyer.^ We are unable to
learn the value of the estate, as there was no inventory-
The sons by mutual agreement made a division of the real
estate, by which Dyer took the north part of the home lot
on the west side of the road, bounding west on the Connect-
icut River, and east on the street. John the middle divis-
ion, and Joseph the south part of the home lot with the
buildings, each division being six and two thirds rods in
width. To John were set thirty -five acres of the lot on the
east side of the road, with the house and barn thereon,
bounded south and west on the highway. To Joseph the
middle division of the thirty-five acres, and to Dyer the
north division of thirty-five acres.^

Church of East Windsor, to Jonathan Q-oodwin. He
was born on the Goodwin place, Albany Road, in Hartford,
December 28, 1799, and was the eldest son of James and
Eunice (Roberts) Goodwin. He resided on tlie Albany
Avenue farm which he inherited from his father. He
became early interested in military affairs, and held the
positions of Captain and Major in the First Company Gov-
ernor's Foot Guard. Mr. Goodwin was prominent in both
civic and business affairs, being elected a Representative to
the General Assembly in 1836. He was Assessor in 1838,
and from 1846 to 1862 ; member of the Board of Belief in
1840, '43, '44, and '46 ; one of the Selectmen for ten years
from 1842 ; and a member of the High School Committee in
1849. He was one of the Incorporators of the Hartford
Hospital in 1854, and from August, 1859, until his death,
a Director of tlie Farmers and Mechanics Bank. He was
a man of commanding presence, and throughout his life
enjoyed the entire confidence and respect of all who knew
him.

Mrs. Goodwin's married life was uneventful, but charac-
terized by an earnest loving devotion to her family and
home. In the old farmhouse (nearly opposite to her hus-
band's birthplace) which was provided by her father in
law at the time of her marriage, there her children were
bom, there her peaceful life was spent, and there she died.
A pure minded Christian woman, true to her New England
ancestry, of simple habits which were traditional she left a
very pleasant memory.

Jonathan Goodwin died in Hartford, October 8, 1877.

Mrs. Clarinda (Newberry) Goodwin died in Hartford,
