It 19 n^ in the study of the lives of public men only, that the
jojiiT^a^ t*he people are to look for instruction ; but in every life there
>.,& a lesson, perhaps of warning, perhaps of example, but in any case
* worthy of perusal. Out of many such lives we find proof confirma-
tory of the rule that every young man has within himself the
possibility of success. There may be long years, which to the strug-
gling youth will seem much longer than they are, of slow progress
or apparently of want of progress, in the chosen or assigned path ;
but every lad should have it firmly impressed upon his mind that
steady persistence and quiet perseverance are sure to be rewarded in
the end. This is one lesson in the life of Samuel Baker Rindge.
Daniel Rindge, the father of Samuel B., was a hard-working man.
For twenty-five years he held a position of responsibility in the New
England Glass Works at Cambridge. Of his moderate income he
managed usually to reserve something each year, and late in life he
had some income from a small real property left by his brother
Daniel ; but his oldest son knew that it was to his own exertions
that he must look to advance himself in wealth and station.
Equipped with the sound but limited education which was open to
him in the schools at Cambridge (in one of whidi he was a school-
mate of the Hon. William E. Parmenter), supplemented by one
year's tuition at a school in Salem, at fifteen years of age he began
his business life. In 1836 he entered the counting room of Parker
& Blanchard* in Boston, as* the youngest boy.
The writer still remembers him as he was when he made this start
in his career. A ruddy cheeked lad, with dark, almost black hair
of which he cherished two curls, one on each side in front of his
ears ; with very bright eyes ; exceedingly quick in every movement,
and very prompt to respond to every call.
There was a great discrepancy in those days between the duty of
the youngest boy in sueh a house, and the amount of his pay. His
first year's salary did not usually exceed fifty dollare, and it was
increased, possibly by fifty dollars, with each year of service. He
was expected to obtain the keys in the morning, early enough to be
in attendance before any one else ; to open the doors and window
shutters ; to sweep, dust, make the fires and put everything in readi-
ness for clerks and partners when they presented themselves.
During the day he was at everybody's beck and caU, to run errands,
to receive or deliver merchandise, often to carry bundles quite out

of proportion to hh own sise, and finally to remain until the laat
person had left the building, and then to close the premiees carefully
and return the keys to the house of one of the partners. Very
likely in all this long day*fl work, he had only one meal, and in
young Rindge'fl case, living as he did too far from the place of busi-
ness to return to dinner, hie noon day luncheon was usually made
irom a provision brought from home in the morning. Small aa his
compensation was for several years, it is n(vt probable that in any
year of his apprenticeship he failed to lay away something for his
capital. Necessarily economical, he always kept an account of every
trifling expenditure, a custom to which he adhered long after the
ocoasion for such watchfulness had passed away.
Busy as he was in the performance of his own duties, he yet made
time to learn the duties of those above him, and he sought every
opportunity to add something of their employment to his own. So
that when promotion came he was at once able to assume the desk
and to do the work of the place awaiting him. Nor was this all.
He poaaeased not only the old-time New England thrift, hut also
a large measure of Yankee enterprise. He was a natural trader.
Ab a boy he knew the value of the various kinds of jack-knives and
other objects which boys covet; and, when his accumulated capital
came to be reckoned by eagles, he began to adventure in foreign trade.
In those days there were many vessels, chiefly brigs of 151} to 200
Ions, engaged in trading or under charter to the West Indies ur the
Spanish main ; and, having, or making, the acquaintance of the
masters of such vessels, young Rtndge would entrust to them little
invoices of merchandise to be sold on joint account, the proceeds
being usually returned in produce of the country^ Colfee, honey,
wax and tamarinds were common items. It is not known that
kis adventures were so peculiar as those made by Lord Titnothy
Dexter of Newburyport ; but, among the last of Rindge's was one
lo California of pop-corn, for which, having the only stock in the
market, his returns were quite satisfactory .
In such counting-rooms as that of Parker & Blanchard the usual
advance of a boy was to a clerk^s position, and thence to be the head
book-keeper and cashier ; and Sanmel B. Rindge followed that pro-
motion. Like himself, however, he managed here also not only to do
all the work of his own place, but to reach out and grasp additional
work, and thereby to increase his usefulness and value to his employers.
At every opportunity he would drop his pen, and hasten to meet
uid wait upon a customer, until his value as a salesman became
greater than as a book-keeper ; and when at twenty-live years of age
he became a partner in the firm, he had, by doing work beyond what
was mere compliance with Km duty, become fully acquainted with
every department of a complicated business, and able to do or to
direct whatever was to be done.
To arrive at a partnership in an established business was for a man
Samuel Baker Rindffe*
[Jan.
so constituted and so educated, a beginning of sure success. There
were pull-backa at times, losses by panics and depreciation in market
values » but when Mr. Rindge died at gixty-three years of age, his
property was valued at nearly two millions of dollars, all of which
may be regarded as the accumulation of one who had entered busi-
ness at its lowest step, and in the slow lapse of years had, by dint of
faithful work, attained the highest plac«. Fidelity, Diligence, Intel-
ligence and Perseverance were the magicians, who, out of nothing,
had made so much : for his outside operations from first to last may
be regarded as his amusement, and it is doubtful whether on the
whole they resulted in any profit whatever.
Mr, Rindge cared little or nothinfj for political position ; except
for a year or two of service as an Alderman of Cambridge, he never
held an office, and this he accepted without enthusiasm, and
relinquished without regret ; yet he was not uninterested or inactive
in political affairs, but gave a reasonable amount of time to atten-
dance upon the caucuses and conventions of his party. In many
places of trust, as director, manager and president of banks and of
manufacturing and other corporations, his aasietance was valued and
welcomed. Into such dudes he threw himself with ardor, for he
could not be a cipher in any place, and in these and in many cases
where appeal was made to his friendship or sympathy, he lavished
timo, thought, and care without recom pence.
With all his activity in business he was not absorbed by it. He
found time for his home and family ; no one ever enjoyed an *^' out-
ing " better than he, — his relish of a holiday, whether it was a day in
the country or a year in Europe, was almost boyish in freshness.
He had an excellent memory of persona, places, events and things.
As he walked or rode, he was constantly alert, to see what was
going on, and he saw everything. Before he was out of his teens
he showed a tendency to be masterful with those under his direction.
Under him a boy obtained a good schooling in affairs. It was use-
less to try to hoodwink him, or to avoid his searching questions,
Shiftlessness and laziness received no mercy at his hands. He seemed
to require everybody under hie authority to be and do what he had
been and had done. He was an exacting, but not an unkindly
master.
Habits of economy, which in his early life he had acquired of
necessity, were never entirely shaken off, but he was neither miserly
nor mean. His home was adorned with valuable works of art, his
summer residence was spacious and costly, his living was generous.
The suma of money which he lost by over confidence in personal
or business friends might have been a considerable per-centage added
to his wealth.
Although he had warning of the danger, he refused to retire from
active business, preferring to face all possibilities and to die, if it
must be so, in the midst of the occupations which had been his

delight from early youth ; and bo» after but a day or two of confine-
ment« in almost the full poseesaion of bodily and mental strength,
he died« of congestion of the brain, on the third day of May, 1883,
and was buried in Mount Auburn in the presence of a great con-
coarse of hia business associates, kinsfolk and {riende«

TiiE alleged vo3\age8 to America by the Welsh, set down
for the year 1170, form a subject that has never received the
tattention to which it is entitled by American writers, while id Great
Britain it haa not been treated with anything like justice. No
monograph of a really meritorious or exhaustive character had ever
been devoted to this important tljeme either in Europe or America.
[Superficial sketches are certainly not wanting, while the alleged
royage haa often been referred to In historical and general works,
fmnd the probabilities of the case have sometimes been discussed.
Comparatively little historical criticism, however, has been applied
to the voyage of Madoc, son of the Prince of Wales, while, as if by
0ome kind of an understanding, tlie most of that class of writers who,
lunih good reason, might have been expected to have studied the
subject with care, have either ignored the voyage, or contented
themselves with a few irrelevant remarks which serve to show that»
in reality, they were unacquainted with the merits of the case.
Justice requires us to point out that one cause of this neglect may
be foQud in the fact that the discussion with regard to the voyages
of the Northmen to America, which began with the opening of the
eleventh century, had the prior claim to notice, being superior both
.in interest and importance, and quite overshadowing the modest
[claim of the Welsh. The Northmen, for more tbnn half a century
[lust past, have largely monopolized the attention of many inquirers
[eoficerning the Pre-Columbian History of America, On the other
[band, injudicious advocates of the Welsh have done much to create
tprejudice and distrust. It is not improbable, too, that Southey, by
[liis poem of " Miwioc," did considerable to convey the impression
[that the subject was really a theme quite removed from the sphere
Icf veritable history.
I The present, however, would appear to be a favorable time for
WB reopening of the discussion, since the voyages of the Northmen
mm now eubetantially accepted, and the Sagas are received as
genuine histories. Indeed there should never have been any doubt
on thifi point. Critics like Alexander Von Humboldt did not doubt,
VOL. XLV. 3
16 Pre-Columbian Voycigea of the Welsh. [Jan.
even at the outset. That great investigator frankly accepted the
records, and was of opinion that the scene of the Northmen's exploits
was to be found on the coast of New England. George Bancroft,
on the contrary, taught for about half a century, in the various edi-
tion of his History of the CJnited States, that the Icelandic records
were *' mythological in form and obscure in meaning," but in the
edition of his work published in 1883, he dropped all reference to
the subject, and has since had the frankness to admit that, in taking
that view of the subject, he fell into error. The conviction of the
great proportion of students, especially in Europe, is now so clear
and decided with regard to the reality of these voyages and the
historical character of the narratives, that few persons will be likely
to concern themselves much in the future with regard to objections
that may be urged. The way, therefore, is now open for the dis-
cussion of the claims of the Welsh, as Pre-Columbian voyagers to
the shores of North America. One may come to this discussion
with the more confidence, for the reason that old time prejudice is
dying out, and that every year there are fewer to be found, who ask
with the irony of Imogen :
"Prithee, think
There's livers out of Britain ? "
In opening this discussion, therefore, we may well quote some
observations by Humboldt, who, speaking of the "obscurity which
still shrouds the voyage of the Gaelic Chief Madoc,** to "a Western
Land 1170," observes :
** It is much to be desired that, in our days, when a sound and
severe spirit of criticism, devoid of a character of contempt, pre-
vails, the old investigations of Powell and Richard Hakluyt might
be resumed in England and Ireland." Continuing, he says, "I do
not participate in the rejecting spirit which has, but too often, thrown
popular tradition into obscurity, but I am, on the contrary, firmly
persuaded that, by a greater diligence and perseverance, many of
the historical problems which relate to the maritime expeditions of
the early part of the middle ages • * • will one day be cleared by
the discovery of facts with which we have hitherto been entirely un-
acquainted."
Let us now proceed to inquire upon what the claim of the Welsh
to Pre-Columbian enterprise in America is founded? It will be
noticed that we do not say the Pre-Columbian Discovery of America,
because, unlike the Northmen, the ancient Welsh did not claim the
discovery of "New Lands." The discoveries of the Northmen
formed a somewhat great surprise in Iceland and Scandinavia, but
they did not suppose for a moment that they had found a new
Continent. On the contrary, they believed that the new lands at
the West formed an arm of Europe, stretching around the polar
region from Norway to Greenland, extending thence indefinitely
southward. Still they knew nothing of our land until Biame, when
JPre'Cohimhian Yoijages of the Welsh,
17
I
Bailing for Greenland, was blown upon the coast. The Welsh, on
the contrary, iliJ not exhibit surprise on reaching a land at the west.
In iiiet* evervthiug would «eem to indicjite that they knew of that
land, probably by contact with i\\v Northmen, and that Madoc mailed
expecting to reach some part of the region known as Vinland.
Ninety-five years before the voyage of Madoc, Adam of Bremen,
after a visit to Denmark, wrote that '* a region had been discovered
iby many in that [Western] Ocean, which was called Winliiiid, be-
cause vines grow there spontaneously, making excellent wine ; for
that fruita, not planted, grow there of their own accord we know,
not by fake rumors, but by certain testimony of the Dunes," which is
accord with the pleasant and fruitful countries reporteil by Madoc.
The proof upon which the voyages of Madoc to the New World
?8t, may be dividetl into two parte, taken respectively from Pre-
^K>luuil>ian and Post-Columbian sources. First, we give the Pre-
►lumbian statements taken from the Welsh Bards and Chroniclera,
lough it may be proper to jireface our quotations with a lew re-
larks concerning the ancient literature of the Welsh, which carries
back to a period before the Cliriatian era.
With the introduction of Christianity into Wales, where the wor-
ship of Christ was established under an Episcopal Church govern-
ment, long before the Roman missionaries turned their steps towards
Great Britain, letters were cultivated and oral poetry and tniditions
were committed to writing, the Bards assuming a high position in
the nation. These bards were not musical vagrants, roving, harp
I jn band, through the country side, singing songs for what they could
pick up. The poet and the harpist formed separate offices, ami
while some poets were skilled in the use of this instrument, others
were not, while many compositions were not adapted to mu-^icul ex-
II pression. Besides, as fully recognized by scholars like Sharon
jHS^urner, tlie verses of the bards ha<l other uses, being more or less
^H^f a historic character, and preserving important facts in Briti:<h
^^kietory. The poetry of the ancient Welsh did not possess the won-
^Hkrful characteristics of Icelandic Terse, nor did the Welsh cultivate
^Iprose in proportion to verse. Iiideed, Icelanders were the first of
' ^all European people to produce a high style of original vernacular
jiroee. The WeJsli literature cannot take rank with the Icelandic,
>rtion8 of which, as for instance the Eddas and the Himekringla,
ill hold their high place like the productions of Homer and
Herodotus, while literature endures. The Icclan<lie writings, too,
kve an advantage in their greater popularity, since the mcmt serious
s have been made to obscure the glory of Welsh liteniture, to
it in the background, and even destroy it, the Bards at one
ime being conaidered as politically dangerous. Hence it eot<t a
ivere effort to bring out that great collection of Welsh literature,
vyrian Arcliaiology," in three royal octavo volumes, forming an
iperishable monument of Welsh industry and genius. Yet, not-

18 Pre-Columbian Voyages of the Welsh. [Jan.
withstanding the extent of this collection, taken together with a
large quantity of unpublished material, it may truly be said that we
now possess only a comparatively small portion of the ancient
writings, many of which were destroyed by vandals, while fire and
neglect have largely supplemented other destructive agents. The
subject of Madoc must have engaged the attention of many poets
and chroniclers, for it would be idle to suppose that the few scraps
that remain are all that were ever written. Let us, however, turn
to these surviving fragments and observe their bearing upon what
later writers have laid down with respect to the Western voyages of
the Welsh chief.
The first authority to be quoted is Lywarch ab Llwelyn, who
flourished at the close of the thirteenth century. Speaking, evidently ,
of the two brothers, Hywal and Madoc, he says :
** Two princes of strong passions broke off in wrath,
The maltltade of the earth did not love them ;
One on land in Avron allaying ambition,
And another, a placid one, on the bosom of the vast ocean.
In trouble great and immeasurable,
Prowling after a possession easily guarded,
Estranged from every one for a country.'*
This translation, from Stephens's *^ Literature of the Cymry "
(II. §2), is accepted as literal, and, like the rest of his translations,
it is considered by judges entirely reliable, conveying both the letter
and the spirit of the text. The original is found in *' Myvyrian
Archaiology'' (1.283).
We have here the picture of a sea rover, whose story was well
known by the people, who would at once recognize its faithfulness ;
while the incidental character of the reference renders it all the more
valuable. The same Bard makes an additional allusion to Madoc,
wliere, speaking of the latter's brother lorworth, he says that
lorworth met the Saxons by Llanwynwry's Lake, and describes him as
*♦ Nephew of Madoc, whom we more and more
Lament that he is gone ."
That " Madoc disappeared from his native country," Stephens, a
hostile and able critic, frankly admits as *' proved beyond a doubt."
This appears, he says, from the poem of "The Hot Iron," which
gives an account of the trial of one who was accused of having
murdered the sea rover. The accused says :
" Good iron I exonerate me
From the charge of having slain Madoc,
And show that he who slew the fair Prince
Shall have no part of heaven." Myr. Archaiol. I. 289.
Madoc son of Gwynedd is not to be confounded with that Madoc
who, in 1180, was slain by Thomas, his drunken brother.
A later Bard, Meredydd ab Bhys, who wrote about the year
1440, also shows distinctly that Madoc was a sea rover :
" Madoc am I who through my life
By sea will seek my wonted prey/'
18^1.] Pre-Columhian Voijagei of the Welsh.
19
In the 1583 edition of Hakluyt'e Voyages there are found some
iDcient lines which, the author eaya, "I received of my learned friendi
AVilliam Camden." The English version runa :
" Kftdoc I am the Sonne of Qwen GwyneddT
With stature large and comely grace adorned :
Ko land at home, nor store of wealth me please.
My mind was whole to search the ocean seas."
Camden evidently drew the lines from Rhys. At the period when
the latter wrote, the accased man had been exonerated from the
murder of Sladoc, and it was concluded that the adventurer had lost
his life on the sea, which may have been the cai^e, as we dfi not
know the result of his last western voyage. The poet, Cynddelu,
rho lived about the time of Llywelen, wrote :
And U not Madoc by the whelming wave
Slain? How I sorrow for thu holpful friend I —
Evon In battle be wiilh. free from lijite.
Yet not in valu ^ra-sptd he tlie warrior'!* npear."
^V But nowj whither did Madoc sail, and in what land beyond the
r sea did he make the scene of enterprise ? In partial reply we may
I quote the Pre-Columbian Genealngiea compiled by Icvan Brecva,
I which say that " Madoc and Riryd found land far In the w^est and
^K settled there." William Owen, in the "Cambrian Biographij'^
^V (p. 233), says that the expedition is recorded in a book of pedin^ees
by Brecva, written about the year 1466. This is supported by
Guttyn Owain, a distinguished poet and genealogist who wrote be-
tween 146U and 1490.
But we must quote here from the ancient Triad of the " Three
Disappearances,^' found in " UaTubro-Briton" (Vol. I. 1820, p,
123) » which makes the third remarkable Disappearance, that of
"Madawg, son of Owain Gwyiiedd, who accompanied by three
hundred men, went to sea in ten ships, and it ia not kno\\Ti to what
place they went."
We should not hesitate to consider such testimonies ♦ because they
are associated with some things that are marvellous. Discrimination
must be used. The essential fact given in the Triad is, that Madoc
went to sea with ten ships. The writer did not know the exact
tinntion of the fleet. The point he makes is, that the diaappear-
ce of Madoc and his fleet was a remarkable occurrence. This is
all that he wanted to convey. He was not writing to convince any-
one that an enterprise was undertaken. He had no interest in show-
ing that the Welsh knew of a ^reat land in the West. The fact
was of no account at that period. He was simply writing a Triad,
doc's well-known ctwe formed one side of the triangle. We
uld simply try to put ourselves buck in tlie age when the Triad
written, and feel its force as a testimony to the voyage uf Madoc
upon the Atlantic.
These testimonies are of more consequence than, possibly, they

20 Pre-Columbian Voyages of the Welsh. [Jan.
may appear at the outset. Carefullj considered, it will be evident
that they cover six important points :
1. That there was a well-known historic person named Madoc, the son
of Gwynedd, Prince of Wales.
2. That he was a sailor, whose natural disposition drew him to adven-
tares on the sea.
3. That this Madoc made westward voyaj^es on the Atlantic.
4. That after the first voyage, upon which he embarked more or less
secretly, he was supposed to have been murdered, while, on trial, the
accused man was cleared.
5. That he reappeared in Wales, raised a company of three hundred
men and women, embarking the company in ten ships, with the intention of
returning to the site of his colony.
6. That he sailed westvvard for the purpose of founding a colony and
never returned.
These are statements that antedate the voyage of Columbus, and
come down to us from a period when discoveries on the Atlantic
were viewed with general indifference by the Welsh, who found
such matters of interest only in the incidental manner pointed out,
while no glory was ever claimed in connection with Madoc's enter-
prise, the genealogist and poet being concerned only in the melan-
choly result. This is testimony of a kind that must inevitably have
force with minds accustomed to weigh historic evidence.
We now turn to the Post-Columbian proof. First of all we find
Powell adding to our facts, and showing the course taken by Madoc
on his first voyage, for he '* lefl the coast of Ireland so far north that
he came to a land unknown."* Powell gives as his authority (and
his statements are accepted by Hakluyt) the Herald Bard, Gutty n
Owain, who flourished, as we have seen, before Columbus. This
statement attributed to Owain was first published in Post-Columbian
times, but there is no sufi&cient reason for doubting that it was con-
tained in some one of the many versions of his works, and was taken
thence by Powell, as the latter declares.
Portions of the narrative given in the notef below are plainly unhis-
torical. The intelligent reader will discover the chaff. It should
• The use of this work does not interfere with the belief that the Welsh knew of the
voyages of the Northmen. Seventeenth century voyagers often spoke in this way of lands
already discovered but not explored.
t Po well's narrative states, as one result of dissension in Wales, during the twelfth cen-
tury, that Madoc, son of Owen Gwyneth, *Mefl the land in contention betwixt his brethren
and ])repnred certaine hhips, with men and munition, and sought adventure by seas, sailing
West, and leaving the coast of Ireland so farre North that he came to a land nnknowen,
where he saw many strange things." " This Land," Powell illogically says, •' must needs
be some part of that countrey of which the Spaniards afflrme themselves to l>e the first
fiiHlcr«j since Hanna's time. For by reason and order of Cosmogiaphie, this land to which
Matloe came, must needs be some parts of Nova Hispania, or Florida. Whereupon it is
manifest that that countrev was long l>efore by Dritaine discovered, afore cither Columbus
or Americas Vesputius led any Spaniards thither."
♦* Of the Voyage and retume of this Madoc," Powell says, "there may be fables fainedas
the common people do use in distance of place and length of time rather to augment than

be obBerved, howover, that this particular narrative haa been made
the subject of numerous sketches, superficial articles, by writers in-
capable of perceiving what was required of a critic, and Avho, after
despatching the Mexican allusions, have fondly regarded the claims
ofthe Welsh as laid to rest. It will be necessary, however, to
separate what is mere conjecture from what is supported by solid
testimony, and especially that testimony which is drawn from
ancient writings. The study of Mexican antiquities long ago per-
BUaiilcd the historical world that the use of the Cross had no necessary
connection with Christianity. The forced interpretation ofthe facte
by Powell grew out of the desire to antedate the Spanish claim to
the New World. The struggle between England and Spain waa
coming on apace. The Armada was already foreshadowed, and men
were ready for any pretext to urge against Spain. Powell, howev-
er, made a poor use \ji the facts, and would have done the Welsh a ser-
vice ii' he had abstained from speoidation, since, by false deductions,
he prejudiced a large numi>er of writers against the whole subject.
AVc have now to turn to another Post-Columbian writer. In
lC34t Sir Thomas Herbert published, "A Relation of Some, yeares
TravaiUy^ in which (p. 217) he gives additional particulars relating
to the voyage of Madoc, saying that Madoc " put to sea from
Abergwilley,^' that "' after some weeks sailing due west he descried
land, probably New Foundland ; but whatever it was, it overjoyed
him." He continues, "Madoc then ranged the coajst .... fixed on
a spot to form his intended settlement. After he had stayed there
awhile to recruit the health of his men, he fortified his settlement
and left 120 there to protect it/' Returning to Wales, he organized
a second expedition and went back with his ten ships, and found
"few of those whom he had left remaining," but, with the help of
Kis hrothers Eneon and Edwal, put things once more in good order,
and remained there some time, expecting the arrival of more of their
countrymen .... but they never came, and caused grievous disap-
pointment," as the wars in Wales prevented further help. For
authorities he refers to " Cynwric ab Grono, Meredydd ab Rhys,
Guttain Owttin, Lloyd, Howell, Prys [Rhys?], Hackluit, Brough-
lon, Furchaa, Davy and otbere."

22 Pre-Columbian Voyages of the Wehh, [Jan.
On this it may be observed, first, that, in the time of Herbert,
the interest in the subject of America had increased, and that, while
this would tend to the amplification of facts, and the exercise of
imagination, it would, at the same time, lead to inquiry among the
Welsh for additional information. Herbert, indeed, produces an
additional name, in the Pre-Columbian Bard, Cynwric ab Grono.
Why, therefore, should not Sir Thomas be credited when he tells
us that he found new matter respecting the voyage? It is a fact,
that he had access to the finest and by far the most valuable collec-
tion of ancient Welsh manuscripts ever brought together, that of
Khaglan Castle, collected by his relation, the distinguished £»rl of
Pembroke. Why are not these ancient testimonies produced ? In
reply, it may be said that Khaglan Castle, one of the first of British
Castles, was destroyed during the Cromwellian Wars.
No one has yet produced any real reason for questioning the
veracity of Sir Thomas Herbert, and the only course open to the
average mind among the promiscuous eulogists of Columbus, who
do not understand the real merits of the Genoese and are bitter
against all Pre-Columbian adventurers on the high seas, is to employ
the common, if not convincing argument, and to declare, in the
terms of the unhistorical class to which they belong, that Sir
Thomas Herbert falsified.
As it remains, however, no one has yet shown a shadow of a
reason for questioning Herbert's veracity, though we may properly
criticize the use he made of his material ; for certainly Madoc sailed
from Wales. That fact is indisputable, and he must have sailed
from some port. That the name of the port lingered in tradition,
being preserved in some one of the many Rhaglan manuscripts,
is very likely, and it is not at all unlikely that Sir Thomas should dis-
cover that the name of the port was Abergwilley. At least he says
so, and it is the business of the critic, in the absence of Sir Thomas
himself, to prove that it is false, which cannot be done simply by
declaring it false. That the Welsh adventurer should have built a
fort in the land to which he sailed is not very remarkable. There
were doubtless more things in the Rhaglan archives than are just
now dreampt of in our histories, and doubtless the fuller story of
Madoc's voyage was preserved there in chronicles, which, together
with many precious historical treasures, perished by fire. Indeed
the wholesale destruction of Welsh manuscript in many parts of
Great Britain is simply deplorable. At one time for instance nearly
a hundred copies of the Chronicle of Caradoc existed in manuscript,
but now nearly all have disappeared. This is not very surprising,
however, when we consider the fact that no copy of the earliest edi-
tions of the New England Primer is known, though the book was
one scattered abroad as thickly as the leaves in Vallanibrosa.
Under the circumstances, considering the indifference of the Welsh
towards the early voyage, how poor would be the chance for the
18SL] Pre-Columbian Voyages of th^ Wehh.

pereervation of the story of Madoc. The possibility, noverthelees,
ia, tliat tlic cla^s of partisan writers who are unable to make the noble
Columbus ap(>ear as great as they wish, will continue to throw dirt at
Sir Thoraas Herbert, who was an upright man and a diligent student
of the Welsh language and literture.
It is true that the voyage is not mentioned by Giraldua Cam-
breneis, who lived at the period of Madoc, but, like most writers of his
doss, he cared nothing about such subjects. It is also true, that the
^^jnge h not raenlioned in any cojiy of Guttyn Owain now accessi-
but it is also a fact, that no two copies of these old narratives
were alike, being furnished by the author at different periods, and
for different persons and places, a book written out in old age being
entirely different from the history of the eame subject in early years.
Whether Guttyn mentioned Madoc in one of his earlier or one of his
later compositions, it is impossible to say, but the variety in the
manuscripts is nevertheless pointed out and dwelt upon in " Mymj-
rian Archaiology^*' though not with the slightest reference to the
Toy age of Madoc. Still the remarks of the learned editor apply,
and throw light upon the fact, that the present version of Guttyn
Owuin is defective as respects Madoc. An illustration of these re-
marks will be had by comparing the last edition of Bancroft's " His-
tory " with that of half a century ago. Various voyages have dis-
appeared, and new adventures appear in the place of the old ; and
wnen the early editions have actually been worn out, or have dis-
appeared, as may actually prove to be the case and at no distant
period, some one may take up a recent edition, and declare that
Bancroft never wrote a word about the Northmen.
Here, for the present, at least, we rest the case, presenting the
subject as one worthy of study and consideration, and one, more-
over, that may richly reward the explorer of the unpublished ancient
^elsh manuscripts that may still lie neglected in obscure niches
long the mountains and in the seaport towns of beautiful Wales.
The subject, however, should not be left before we emphasize on
im{K)rtant fact, namely, that, for the sake of the argument, the Post-
Columbian authorities could be left out, since even then there would
be solid ground for the probability of Madoc's voyage. This, how-
ever, would be unfair, alike to histoiy and to Lloyd and Powell, as
well as to Sir Thoraas Herbert. These men were scholars of emi-
nence and of high character. Their integrity has been impeached simply
with sneers. Fair minded men, therefore, in the present stage of
the discussion, must give these writers due credit, and Herbert
€S|»€cially must be believed, when he says that he found in tl»e old
Chroni(^les, which were open to him at Rhaglan Castle, the fact
that Madoc sailed west from Abergwilly and built a fort in the land
beyond the sea, where he planted a colony. About all that can be
Bnitl in reply, is that ^'Columbus discovered America," which is a
statement that has had its day.

LETTER OF SAMUEL ADAMS TO THE TOWN OF
BOSTON, MARCH 13, 1769,
ON HIS ACTION AS TAX COLLEOTOB.
Commnnicftted by John 8, H. Fooo, M,Dm of South Boston,
I SKXD for the Register a copy of a letter of Samuel Adams in
regard to the deficiency in his Tax retuma. It aeems to me that it
entirely disposes of the assertion, so often made, that he was a
kfaulter.*
To the Freeholders & other Inhabitants of the Town of Boston
in Town Meeting assemhled March 13, 1769.
The Petition of Samuel Adams 8heweth —
That your Petitioner was annually chosen by the Town a Collector of
Taxes, from the year 1756 to the year 1764 inclusive— That notwith-
•Uwdiug all his Care & Pains to collect the same, a Nnmber of Persona
diargM with their respective Taxes, in Each of said years, were thro*
Poverty & Misfortune unable to make Payment to him — That particularly
in the year 1760, a terrible Fire happened in the Town, which is well re-
membered, & raged with great Desolation in his Ward ; which rendered it
ing difficult for the suffering Persons, many of whom were then in-
to him for former Taxes, to discharge the same. This <& other Mis*
es of the like Importance were great Discouragements to yoar
Petitioner; inasmach as the Demands of the several Treasurers, were
necessarily more pressing upon himj than were the Abilities of those upoa
whom alone he could depend to enable him to answer the same; By which
means he was oflen put to considerable Expense, and was obliged Unaily,
oootrary to his Judgement In ordinary Cases, to make use of the first Moneys
Id collect in a new year, to make good the Deficiencys of the year
ng.
Petitioner would represent to the Town: That the Amount of the
tns committed to hi oi to collect in the Aforesaid years, was upwards of
y-one Thousand Pounds Lawfull Money; for the collecting the chief
of which the stipulated Premium has l>eon three & three quarters
It. only, or Nine pence upon the Pouud^ which is three pence less
had been for some time before allowed by the Town ; That having

satiafyed the Demands of the several Treasorers, for all the said Years ex-
cept the last viz : 1764, the Treasarer of the Province issaed Execution
against him for the sum of £2009. 8. 8, dne to the Province for said year.
And afterwards, the Town Treasurer, by Order of the Town put his Bond
in suit, & recovered Judgement for the Sam due; But thro' the Indulgence
of the Town, Execution was stayed.
Furthermore your Petitioner would represent: That agreeable to the
Expectation of the Town, he has lodged with the Selectmen, a List of his
outstanding Debts; which allowing for unavoidable Mistakes which may
happen on so large a Sum, in so great a Number of hands, & of so long
standing, is to the best of his Knowledge, & as he verily thinks a true List
of Debte.
And your Petitioner would further acquaint the Town, that he has also
exhibited a State of his Account, by which it appears that the Sum of
£1106. 11. together with the said List of Debts will fully compleat the
Sums in which he still remains indebted to the several Treasurers.
Now your Petitioner, having long laboured under these heavy Burdens,
to which he has often been almost ready to yield, begs leave to lay his
Petition before the Town ; the Prayer whereof being granted, will ever be
acknowledged by him as an Listance of singular Indulgence ; Namely —
That the Town would order him a final Disdiarge upon Condition of Ms
paying the aforesaid sum of £1106. 11. into the Province Treasury; and
would also make Choice of some suitable Person to receive said List, upon
the Condition libresaid, & collect the outstanding Taxes therein mentioned.
With his best wishes for the Town, your Petitioner subscribes,
Sam^ Adams.

Sir,
I hop© thia will find your Hon' safe arrire<l at New London,
The General Court not rising till Fryday Night last, The Hurry of
Boaioesa that succeeds it will not allow me to give you so large & full an
Aoc»^ of the Occasions of the War with the Indians as may be necessary.
However, I thought I would not let this Post slip without Saying some-
thing on that Heid according to your Hon" Expectation.
At the Treaty of Portsmouth, io the Year 1713, as well as in preceeding
Treaties, The Indians agreed that the English should settle uiidisiurb'd
on any of the Lands where former Settlements had been made, or for
which they had good Deeds from the Indians: After which, the English
settling on KeDoebeck River & Merry Meeting Bay in such Places from
which they had been driven off by the War, & for which Lands the Pro-
prietors had good & sufficient Indian Deeds (w*** they laid before the
Indiana at well as the English Govemm^) The Indians took Umbrage at
thene Settlements, pretending their Ancestors had no Right to alienate those
Lands; And, accordingly* gave frequent Disturbances to the English,
Threatening to drive them otf from Kennebeck River <fe Killing their
Creatures & taking Provisions & other Things out of their Houses. At first
these Insults were confined to that Eiver, The Indians pretending that they

of greater Insulence & Barbarity, so that many Families were forcod to re-

Sir,
These are to direct you to prepare four several Parties of Men to
xnarch in quest of the Indians. The main Body to proceed under y" par-
ticular Command, to Korridgewock, about the 20^ of April next. At the
same time or a few Days before, a Party to scout upon Amerescoggin
Biver, an other on Saco River & a fourth Party range the Sea Coast to
the Eastw*^ of Sagadahock, in Order to surprise the Indians at their Fishing
& Fowling. Let the several Parties carry a Months Provision & not re-
turn (but upon some extraordinary Exigence), till it be spent. You must
give very strict Orders that the Men be silent in their Marches & patient
& vigilant in their waiting for the Enemy, that if it be possible they make
a Discovery of themselves by their Fires, but to be sure not by Shooting or
other Noises. I am inform'd the Indians are removed to a place on Eenne-
beck River about 100 Miles from Norridgewock, Of which Place I have
enclosed the Description given me, that you may visit that Place, if it be
practicable, unless you can meet with the Enemy nearer. You must be
sure to take L* Bane with you as your Pilot, who knows all that Countrey.
If there be any Way, without Hazzarding a Discovery, to get about the
Enemy & come down upon them, p'haps it may bee the best way. Either
you or the Party on Amerescoggin* Biver must visit Medembeseck
as you shall finde it proper and practicable. Lett the best of the
Men bee drawne out for this Service, But be sure not to lessen the
Number of Soldiers posted for the Defence of York, Berwick & Wells,
tho' you may exchange them in order to your having the best Men for
these Marches : The Proportioning the Numbers of the sev^^ Parties &
the Command of them <& other Things, not particularly mention'd, I leave
entirely to your Discretion, And lest you sh*^ want effective Men for this
Service, I do hereby further Direct you, in that Case, to enlist thirty good
able Voluntiers in the County of York, And in Order to encourage them, I
engage that y^ shall not be obliged to continue in the Service sfter these
Marches are over, but be immediately dismissed, <& you may send them
upon such a Rout of the four above mention'd places as you shall find
their Inclinations lead them, & I send you a blauke Commiss" for an officer
that you shall approve, & that will be most likely to engage the Voluntiers for
this Service. You must be very secret in this whole Affair & not commit the
Knowledge of it to any Persons living, sooner, nor any further than is abso-
lutely necessary, & It will be best to make some Feints, in Order to
prevent any Suspicion of the true Design. Let every Thing be getting

THE BLAKE FAMILY IN ENGLAND.
By Francis E, Blaxe» Bsq., of Boeton.
In a ''Genealogical Ilistory of William Blake of Dorchester,"
publiahed in 1857, appears the statement that the emigrant to New
England was the son of Giles Blake of Little Baddovv, Essex, and
the record of several generations of the family is given. The sub-
stance of this record is trustworthy as being a copy from "Morant'e
lliatory of Essex," but the statement that the Dorchester settler was
of this family was unw^arranted by any evidence. Subsequently the
late H. G. Somerby, Esq., by request of Stanton Blake, Esq,, made
extended researches in England to determine the origin of the
American family. He finally located it at Over Stowey, Somerset,
and the results of his investigations were published in 1^81, by W»
H. Whitmore, Esq., in **A Record of the Blakes of Somersetshire,"
The evidences upon which Mr. Somerby based his conclusions
were, first, the record of a baptism in L'iOl, at Over Stowey, of a
William Blake (son of Robert and grandson of John), the date cor*
responding to the age of the emigrant at death ; and second, the fact
that a sister of this William, in her will of date 1647, mentioned a
"brother in New England," no name however being given. While
this evidence was not all that could be desired, it was generally
accepted as correct, and the pedigree has been copied in several other
genealogical publications.
In 1881, Rev. Charles M. Blake, U. S. A., while visiting in
f^Dgland, was shown by William Blake, Esq., of South Petherton,
a genealogical chart of the ^'Blakes of Somersetshire," prepared by
William Arthur Jones, Esq., A.M.
86 Tke Blake Family in England. [Jan.
An examinadon of thia chart led Mr. Blake to yiait Pitminater,
four miles from Tamiton, where he found upon the parish registers
sufficient evidence to convince him that this was the eariy home of
his ancestor William Blake, but he was unable at that time to give
the matter further attention.
Becently, investigations have been made by the writer, through
correspondence with the vicar of the parish, and with Edward J.
Blake, Ekq., of Crewkeme. Tlie latter himself examined the regis-
ters of Pitminster, and Over Stowey, and he has had a careful
examination made of wills and other original sources of information,
for the purpose of determining his own line of descent and verifying
the chart referred to. The result of these researches, so far as relates
to the American family, has been very courteously copied for the
writer and forms the basis of this article.
Mr. Somerby's record of the baptism of a William at Over
Stowey, June 5, 1594, was found to be correct, but unfortunately
he overlooked this subsequent entry :
" 1617, William Blake the sonne of Robert Blake was boned the
of AprilL"
As this record effectually disposes of this William, we are forced
to look elsewhere for the emigrant.
On page 14 of Mr. Somerby's notes the statement is made that
William the son of John* and brother of Robert above named died
at Bishops Lydiard, leaving a widow Joan, but no children.
A close examination of the records discloses the following facts.
By the will of John,' his son William received lands at Bishops
Lydiard, at Plainfield in Over Stowey, and at Padnoller in the parish
of Spaxton. Now in the will of William of Bishops Lydiard,
referred to by Mr. Somerby, date 13th June, 1618, and proved in
September following by Joan his widow, he is described as a yeomctnt
and bequeaths three acres at HiUfarence which he bought, and his
land at Hisun^ with sundry small gifts to friends. He mentions
**Philipp Sully, my boye,'' but no children.
It vrill be noticed that this William held an entirely different social
position from the Blakes of Over Stowey, and in the disposition of
his property made no mention of the lands which John Blake* gave
to his son William.
Furthermore, we have an abstract of a will of a William Blake of
Itiston^ proved at Taunton, May, 1572, in which is a bequest to
**my Sonne Willyam." Riston is near Taunton, and not more than
seven or eight miles from Bishops Lydiard and is undoubtedly the
same place described as JRisun in the will of 1618.
From these facts it is quite reasonable to think that the William
who died in 1618 at Bishops Lydiard without children was the son
of William of Riston, but certainly not the son of John' of Over
Stowey.
1891.]
The Blake Family in Bnglai
87
The records of Over Stowey furniah no evkleace whatever in
regard to John'a son, but die Taunton Manor Rolls show that a
William Blake bought property at Pitminster, in 1586. The parish
registers of Pitmineter, which begin in the year 1544, are in a very
good state of preservation, but there is not a single Blake entry
(with the exception of a Mary Blake, daughter of Eichard, who was
boried in 1574) until the year 1588, when Grace a daughter of Wil-
liam was baptized. It is supposed that this William was the soa
of John/ that he went to Pitminster to reside about the time of
the purchase of the estate there in 1586, and there had the
children named below. This theory was adopted by Mr. Jones in
preparing hia chart, and also by ^Ir. Blake whose investigations
have been made independently of all previous labor in this direction,
and it is hoped that this may soon be verified by record evidence.
The following records relating to thb branch of the family appear
npon the parish register at Pitminster :
Anno Domlo.
1588. Grace Blake, daughter of Willm Blake was baptized the 9"* day
of February,
1592. Erne Blake^ daughter of William Blake was baptized the third
day of December.

of July.
1597. John Blake son of William Blake was baptized the fifteenth day
of Jane.
1600. Aue Blaak^ daughter of William Blaak was baptized the sir*
teenth day of October.

of William Blake were baptised the day of August.
William Blake soDoe of William Blake was baptised the 6^ of
September.
James Blake eoune of William Blake was baptised 27^ April*
With this record from Pitminster before us, there cannot be a
flkadow of doubt that we have here the family of William of Dor-
chester. We know that be had a wife Agnes, and children John,
Aon» William and James, and to make the case still stronger, the
age of the father at death, and also of three of the children, Ann,
Williani and James, corresponds with the date of the baptism at
Fkminster.
No record has been found of the baptism of Edward, another son
of William and Agnes, but it is supposed that he was born in Kng-

38 Hugh Maxwell, [Jan.
land, as there is no evidence of the father being in this country
previous to the year 1636, the statement that he came in the ''Mary
and John" in 1630 being without foundation.
Following the notes of Mr. Somerby, with the substitution of
William*^ for Robert, *" the line of descent will stand as follows :
Robert,* Heniy,» William," Henry,* Robert,* William,* William,"
Humphrey* (great-grandfather of the Admiral), John,* William,"
William** of Dorchester.
Or to state the matter more simply, the emigrant is now traced
as being the grandson of John BlsJi^e of Over Stowey, through his
son WUliam, instead of being so deduced through his son Robert.
But all the pedigree anterior to the grandfather John is not affected
by this correction.
HUGH MAXWELL,
Patriot and Soldier op the Revolution.
By Edward P. Guild, Esq., of Reading, Mass.
Among those who left the shores of the Old World for the New, in the
first half of the eighteenth centary, was Hugh Maxwell of Miuterburn,
Tyrone County, Ireland. With his wife and three children, the youngest only
six weeks old, he sailed for America in the year 1733, and settled in the
town of Bedford, Massachusetts. The infant son, also named Hugh, bom
April 27, 1733, was destined to become one of this country's most sturdy
patriots and defenders.
Like Washington, he became early in life a surveyor, but at his country's
call for soldiers, discarded the compass and chain for the musket and the
sword. He enlisted at the breaking out of the French and Indian war in
1754, and served for five years. At its close he married Miss Bridget
Munroe of Lexington, and purchased a farm in Charlemont, Hampshire,
now Franklin, County. He was a man who closely watched and studied pub-
lic affairs, and was the only subscriber to a Boston newspaper in his town.
He was eminently patriotic, had a wide infiuence with his fellow settlers,
and Samuel Adams himself was no firmer a foe to the encroachments of
British rule than was Hugh Maxwell. When the first Provincial Congress
was convened at Salem in 1774, Maxwell was a member, and he took an
active part in the proceedings. Provision was then made for organizing
and equipping companies of minute men, and upon his return home he
assisted in forming such a company of which he was made lieutenant.
Then, with knapsacks, cartridges and guns ready to seize at a minute's
notice, they waited the expected summons from the vicinity of Boston. It
came from Lexington on the memorable 19th of April. Maxwell marched
with his company at once, and joined Prescott's regiment at Cambridge.
He had entered the army leaving at home his wife with an infant only one
day old, and his oldest child, a daughter, only eleven. Their house was
small ; water had to be brought twenty rods, grain must be carried five
miles to mill, and they had no money. But to hardship and deprivation
was to be added the anxiety which came with the news that the husband

and father had been daDgerously wounded. This was at the battle of
Banker Hill. During the actioD, Lieut. Maxwell was shot throuirh hia
right shonlder. He was without his coat at the time, but though his arm
dropped and bung useless at hia side»be walked throuijh the flying bullets to
the spot where he had laid his coat, and picking it up marched off the hill with
the retreating army. His wound was severe^ and his life was for days in great
danger; but he recovered, although never after able to do the work of a
farmer. Nine pieces of bone were extracted from his shoulder, some of
them an inch long. But he had no thought other than to serve his country.
In September he was able to reach home only to remain a few weeks, aud
then again join the army. His family was again left to endure gre4it
hardships. The barn was built seventy rods from the house with the iu-
bentiou of building a new house near to it; this distance must be travelied
twice a day, often through snows so deep that Mrs. Maxwell or her oldest
daughter must go on hands and knees over the drifts; their wood was in
large logs, green and covered with snow, and the tire must never be sutfere^l
to go out or the family would freeze ; and grain had to be procured at a
distance of seven or eight miles.
On his return to the army, Lieut. Maxwell received a captain's com-
mission, and with his compatiy was stationed at SewalFs Point. In one of
hi» letters he says :
*• We have lately had a heavy cannonade from the enemy ; they gave us more
than eleven hundred cannon shot one night; over nine humln^d w(Te plckml up
the next day, and in all that ni«rht's flrlng they did not hit but four uieu, and
thett« went to the top of the MU and made a lire hi open sight of the eneniv, aud
all killed bv one shot/'
Id March, 1776, the British evacuated Boston, and Washington who
had been quartered alt winter in Cambridge, entered Boston amid the
enthusiasm of the inhabitants. Then anticipating that the enemy would
make an effort to seize New York, the Commauder-m-Cbief proceeded with
his army to that city and prepared for its defence. Capt. Maxwell waa
ftationed on Governor's Island. In August the British landed at Grave-
tend, Long Island, aud in a battle on the 27th defeated the Americans.
After tlje troops bad been carried across the East River they were obliged
to again retreat from New York, and Maxwell narrowly escaped htsiug
taken a prisoner, as, on account of illness his strength would not allow
him to keep with the retreating army; but he was saved by the faithfulness
of hia servant who ciirried bim on hia back whenever he sank from ex-
haustion, and at last got him to a place of safety. Maxwell fought bravely
at Princeton and Trenton, and in 1777 went with the brigade to which he
belonged to join General Gates in the campaigu against Burgoyue in the
north. He was at Monmouth, and he was one of those^who survived the
autferings of that winter at Valley Forge.
Jn 1770 he was promoted to the rank of major and was under the com-
mand of General Heath on t!ie Hudson. Here he was assigned to daties
demanding the greatest vigilance and prudence, courage and integrity, and
for the faithful discharge of these duties he gained not only the friendship
bat the highest esteem of General Heath, In a letter to him, twenty years
later, Heath says:
^ I well know your long aud faithful aervicea in the army, and how often I
have slept without apprehension of being Btirprised, because you giuirded the
ont-post, aud I knew that the enemy would uot be allowed to evade your vigi-
lance.''
VOL, XLV. 5
40 Hugh Maxwell, [Jan.
Id Janaary, 1781, an attack was made by MaxwelFs regiment on a de-
tachment of British under Colonel Delancey at MorriBania. An officer was
afterwards sent from the British lines with a flag of truce. Meeting Major
Maxwell and speaking of the recent attack, the Briton admitted that he
had fled in his night-gown. *< Ah/' said Maxwell, *' is that British disci-
pline? An officer on the lines undress and go to bed !" The officer re-
plied, " We will take you so, some time or other." Said Maxwell, ^ If you
ever take me on the lines in the night, you shall find me dressed through-
out, with coats and spurs on, my pistols loaded at my pillow, and my horse
saddled at the door."
At another time Major Maxwell was reconnoitering with his detachment
when he was surprised by the close approach of the enemy in large num-
bers. There was no way of retreat, to fight was out of the question, and
he had recourse to stratagem. Marching to the top of a hill, he ordered
his men to stack their arms, then some of them to lie on the ground at
their ease, others to engage in wrestling, pitching quoits and other sports in
a careless and indifferent manner. The enemy came to the front of the
hill and baited, the officers held a consultation, and then feced about and
marched off ! It was afterwards definitely learned that the British officers
had considered the seeming inattention of Major Maxwell's men as being a
ruse to decoy them into an ambush.
The end of the war was reached in 1783, and Maxwell left the army
with the commission of a lieutenant-colonel, to take rank Oct. 12, 1782.
So, after a service of nine years in the war of the Revolution, making, to-
gether with his service in the French and Indian war, fourteen years of
hard fighting for his country, he returned to his family resolved that the
deprivations of his wife and children should be at an end. But they had
yet many hardships and perplexities. In common with other soldiers, he
had been paid at the close of the war with paper money which depreciated
greatly in value. Then, with his generous nature, he loaned considerable
amounts to friends which were never repaid and finally brought him to very
straitened circumstances. On Dec. 29th, 1794, he left home for Philadel-
phia to petition Congress for a pension. But while there, a law was passed
which prevented any officer from receiving a pension until he should have
returned his commutation to the Treasury. This deprived him of the com-
pensation which he expected and believed his due. In a letter written
soon after to Hon. John Lowell, of Boston, he says :
" I do not lament that I have fought many a hard battle for this country. I
do not lament that in sundry instances I have suffered abuost everything but
death, in the service of thcne states, for I did my duty like an honest man. But
still I did expect the promised reward. Still am I persuaded a reward from
America is my due . . . Half pay as a Lleut.-Colonel is what I challenge as my
honest reward from the beginning of 1784, during my natural life ; it is due to my
wife ; it is due to my children. And may God grant that this or some future
Congress may see it to be so, and conduct accordingly. But stlU I say, and will
teach my children to say, — May the richest blessings of Heaven be poured
down on the United States of North America."*
In 1799 he resolved upon a venture with the view of relieving his finan-
cial embarrassment. He purchased some horses and with them embarked
on board a vessel at Hartford for the West Indies. He sailed in July, had
a prosperous voyage, and was within three days of port on his return when
he was stricken with a fever. He died on the same day, October 14, 1799,
and was buried at sea.

Colonel Hugh Maxwell was a man who possessed the elements of leader-
ship in a large degree. It was doe lo his inHuence that, in the years of and
preceding the Revolution, not a Tory was to he found in his town or the
region round about His services throughout the long struggle for imle-
pendeuce were of great value to the cause, and it was due lo no lack of
ability, valor, or experience that he did not become a general. But
there were not many, even of those who gained a higher military rank,
who stood by their country more tirmly in the long and dark yenrs, or who
tDspired their comrades with more patriotic zeal than dkl this faithful
soldier. When he returned to his home after the wtir was ended, he waa
honored and trtisted in civil life as he had been on the field. In 1785 he
weDt to Hoston and obtained the charter of a new town which wa* set off
from Charlemont on the north and which included his honse. This town
was named Heath in honor of his old General- In the church which was
there fonne<l he was the senior deacon ; he was also town clerk for many
years, and was commissioned in 1785 as justice of the peace for Hampshire
County, and in this capacity took an active part in regard to Hhays's Rebel-
lion and its participants, receiving from the insurgents their arms and
ftdministering the oath in that county. Colonel Maxwell became also a
member of the Society of the Cincinnati.
A monument was erected to his memory on July 4, 1859, in the " South
Burjang Ground" in Heath. On one side of the shaft is a long inscription,
of which these are the closinjj words:
*• A Christian Patriot and Christian Soldier : honored Ms God ; served his
country ; loved his family. To 'Ayxly was* ever triTe; to bis posterity his memory
is A rich inheritance. May they emulate hi^ virtues."

IK following is copied from Seymour's *' Survey of London
page 718:

here are these Anns : Three Cre^scents, each surmounted b? an Estoiie of

irmountlog a Crown MuralL"
Either the impaled arms have been wrongly cut on the stone, or the
above heraldic description is at fault. The Saihn family of Woli-Heriston,
CO. Somers, according to Burke's Gen. Armory^ bore arms: Az. three

crescents ar. jessant as many estoiles or. Crest — On a mnral coronet ppr.
an estoile of sixteen rays or ; these are given in the Visitation of Devon,
1564; Brit. Mas. Harl. MS. 1091, fo. 133b. The tombstone armorials
agree with those occarring on a piece of silver plate, still in preservation,
and referred to in the Heraldic Joar. (Boston, 1868), iv. 42 ; though again
there is some descrepancy as to the impaled arms.
The epitaph, as printed above, differs slightly from what has already
appeared in the Register, iv. 109 ; the latter agreeing with Cheswell's
*'New View of London" (1708), i. 224. It was also published in the
Spectator, No. 518 (1712), and is there spoken of as being ''in the dif-
fused and luxuriant stile, with much of the simple and pathetic." Still
legible in 1796, according to Lyson's " Environs of London," it had
attracted the attention of Dr. S. Johnson, whose observation, on reading the
second line, was " I do not wonder at this ; it would have been strange if,
born in London, he had died in New England." If the witty Doctor's perspi-
cacity had only informed us, as to what event in the deceased's life the fifth
line of the epitaph refers, we would have been more edified. The stone
was set up some time after the death of Thomas Saffin, for it refers to the
loss of all John Saffin's children, whereas we learn from Sewall's Diary
that **■ his only surviving son," name not given, was buried in Boston, Oct.
15, 1687, just about which time arrived the news of Thomas Safiin's death
in London. Thomas was bom in Boston, March 18, 1664; among the
other children was Symon, born April 4, 1666. The last was a family
name, and in the Camden Visitation of Devon, 1620, we have George, son
of Simon Saffin of Woolverston, in com. Som.,* a place located on the
Frome, just south of Philips-Norton. Jan. 15, 1638-9, Henry Ayshford,
Dept. Lt of Devon and Col. of a regiment in the eastern division of that
county, reported to the Council that Edward Saffyn, John Saffyn, and
Chris. Dabbinett, of CuUompton, and John Dunn of Willand, refractory at
musters, have conformed and paid messengers* fees. — Col. of State Papers,
Domestic.
Nathaniel Powell (or Ap. Howell), esq., of Ewhurst, in' Sussex, etc., created
a Baronet in 1661, was the son of Meredith Powell, Esq., of Brampton
Ralf, CO. Somers., who m. Alice, dau. of John Saffin of Culhampton, Devon.
The Powell arms were, gu. a lion rampant regardant or, as descended from
Ethelystan Glodrydd, Tributary Prince of Ferlys.
During the first half of the 18th century, Thomas Saffin and Mrs. Saffin
gave each 100 1. towards support of the Episcopal charity schools at
Exeter, oo. Devon, and a like sum was given in 1742 by Penelope
Saffin, to found a school for education of 12 children at Axminster in same
county.
As to the New England settler, John Saffin, who was probably in
Scituate as early as 1643, much can be gleaned from the Register, iv.
109; viii. 65; xxxi. 115; also Sewall's Diary, Mass. Hist. Soc. Coll., and
the Record Com. Reports of Boston. He was one of those who in right
of Maj. Humphrey Atherton, and by grant from the native princes, held
part of the lands of the Narragansett, etc., and proposed, 1663-65, to
improve it into an English Colony and Plantation. Dec. 30, 1701, the
name occurs in an address to King William III. by his Protestant subjects
of New York and vicinity.— N. Y. Col. MS. iv. 935.
Saffin is a name rarely met with, and is not found in the Index of the
Gent's Magazine from 1731-1818.

HOLLIS.
I HAVE long felt it a pious duty to look up the Hollia and
Hoi worthy families, and ever since I first came here I have been
gradually picking up items about them in Wills. It has occurred
to me that one or two numbers of my Gleanings eepecially devoted
to these and other benefactors of my old college* would be proper,
I now send some HoIIib matter. The Hollia family were cutlera f)y
trade though Drapers by company. A pedigree and notice of the
fiimily may be found in Moranfs Essex, Vol. II, p. 1(j7. A letter of
Thomas Hollis the great benefactor is printed in the Register,
VoK II. p. 265. See also Memoir of Thoraas Hollia, London,
1780,— H. F. Waters,
[The following is a brief genealogy of the Hollis family :
"Thomas Hollis^ of Rotherhaiu in Yorkishire, a cutler, came to
London during the civil wars* His wife's maiden name was Ann
Whiting. They had sons, Thoraas, Nathaniel and John, and a
daughter Mary. Thomas died without issue. Nathaniel had several
children, of whom only one, by name Thomas, survived htm.
This Thomas was the second benefactor of that name, and was the
father of another benefactor, mentioned in the Harvard College
Kecords as Thomas Hollis, Esq., of Lincoln's Inn. John Hollis
bud a considerable family of children, of whom the most important
were Timothy and Isaac. All these men, with the exception of
Thomas Hollis of Rotherham, appear in the College Records as
benefactors. In these notes, the three benefactors who bore the
name of Thomas Hollis will be distinguished as 1st, 2d and 3d.
Robert Thorner was an uncle of Thomas Hollis Ist.— (See Morants
£B8ex, 2 : li>, and Memoirs of Thomas Hollis (3d), L pp. 1 and 2,)"

Thohas Smith, citizen and cutler of London (aged) 21 November 1674,

messuage or tenement &c in the parish of Waltbamfitow in Essex, except
the Utile tenement wherein John Tompkins now liveth. Aod afterwards
the reversion &c of the same to my son John Smith and the heirs of his

In Newman's letter of Jane, 1710, alrcadj quoted, to the coUegre anthorities, Is
the follo^lnp very interesting clause : ' ' Mr. Thomas HoUis, one of the Trustees
at the Cro(^ Da^rgers in Little Minories, desires his will may be inquired for after
his death. Abont the year 1718, an eflbrt was made to divert Hollis's pfts to the
CoUegre at New Haven. In thiH design. Cotton Mather, then on bad t^nus with
the college aathoritles, took a prominent part. The gist of this episode i8 given
in letters quoted by Quincy In his history of Hansard College, 1 : p. 527, 628T In
his letter to lncrea>ie Mather, Aug. 25th, 1719, already referred to, HoUis speaks
of having sent over produce to the amount of £3(J0 for the benefit of the college*
and adds : " I have thuts living or by wiU to order over to yon a large parsel
[of] goods, the produce to be added for same uses to the sum you now have La
hand."
The ** diverse sums of money" remitted at *♦ Sundry times to the Treasurer
of Harvard Colled ge " may be found noted from time to time in the records of
the Corpomtloa for thiis period. His first gift wa.s that just mentioned. On
May 2ltb. 1720 fColL Book, IV. and V. p. 66), the following vote was recorded :
" Voted that the thanks of the Corporation be rendered by ^fr. Pr*>i'd*t & Mr.
Colenmn to the worthy Mr. Thomas HolHit of London, for the further valuable
donation he has been pleaded to make to the College, and is already In part ar-
rived." The gifts made by IloUis up to 1775 are siununarized In the following
extract, from the formal Msknowledgment given by the Corporation In response
to his request of Hollis.— (See Coll. Book, IV. and V, pp. 105, 106) :
'♦ Whtreas it hath pleased Almighty God to Inspire Mr. Thomas Hollis, mer-
chant in London, with niOMt pious and generous dejjiljrns for y" honour of onr
great and glorious Lord & Saviour & for y* good of nuiiikind &. hath in particular
disposed him to execute some of those designs iu ample & most beneficial
donations to Har\'ard College aforesaid, luHomueh y* there hath already tlowed
into y Treasurj' from y* bountiful liand of y* snid Mr. Thomas Hollis to y* value
of three thousand six hundred & seventy pounds, thirteen sliiUinga & an half
penny he both transmitted stAtutes dnte .January y tenth 1722 which are
lately come to y« bauds of y' said Pres'd't & FeDows of llanard College, wherein
he directs y' y* Increase or produce of y same be applied to y" ends
followingTy' is to say, eighty pounds per Annum' part thereof for a Salary &
support for his Professor of Divinity, ten pounds apiece per annum to ten
srbolars, more or fewer according to y* produce y* money shall make per
Annum," It is interesting to note in this connection that one of the first scholars
on the Hollis fouudnition was Samuel Mather, a grandson of Increase Mather. —
(See LetltT of Ilollis iu '* Hollis Letters, 9.") The Divinity Professorship wag
founded iu 1721, Various letters on this subject, which passed between Hollla
on oue side, and the President and Mr. Colnian, a Fellow, on the other, are re-
printed in Quincy'H History, 1 : 529-640. The tirst reference in the college
records to this subject Is in the College Book, Nos. IV, and V., under date of
April 25th, 172L There was a prolonged discussion on the subject of the new
Professorship (q. v, Quincy, 1 : 529-540, where a large number of these
letters are reprinted from the College archives), of which we find frequent
record in the College books. HolUs showed throughout this discussion a liber-
ality of spirit remarkable in those times. Hollis. it must be remembered, be-
louged to the Baptist denomination, though afflllatljig to some exteut with the
Independents in London (see his letter to Increase Mather, Register, 2 : 265).
In his regulations for the Divinity Professor, the only theological test required
was ** that he tieclaro it as his belief that the Bible is the only and most perfect
mle of f aitli and manners." The Overseers amended by striking out the words
*• and most." and substituting for *' Bible" the ** Scriptures of the Old and New
Testament." — (See HolUs's Book, pp. 3 and 4 ; Records of Overseers, 1 : 21 , 22.)
In January, 1721-2, Edward Wiggles worth was elected the first " HoUissian
Professor in Harvard College/'— (Coll. Book IV. and V. p. 74.) In the winter
of 1726-7, Hollis transmitted £1127 to found a Professorship of Mathematics
and Natural Philosophy, and in the following year presented the college with a
valuable set of philosophical apparatus. Aside from these larger gifts, he
proved his constant interest in the College by sending, from time to time, valu-
able collections of books for the library.
On learning of the death of Hollis, the Corporation, at a meeting held April
21, 1781, passed the following vote (see Hollis Book, p. 28) :

the case of the scholars and the divinity professor limited tlie right of appoint-
merit to the founder himself, and iu the case of the matbemfttics profcsnor con-
tinued it only for his immediate successor. HoUis averted any posgible
friction by generously waiving all claims to exercise such rights (Mollis Book,

following passage taken from tbe College Donation Book, p. 7&.
" This gentleman began to honor the College with his notice a short lime be-
fore the destmction of Harvard Hall. As soon as he wad made acquainted with
this event, be subscribed £200 sterling to the apparatus and the aauie sum to
the library. ... He hath at ditTereut times enriched the Library with a very
large number of cnrious, valuable and costly books. The whole amount of his
benef actions amounts, it Is supposed, to more than fourteen hundred pounds
sterling."
A7j/«.— Hollis Hall was named Januarj* I9tb, 1764, with elaborate ceremonies,
by Francis Barnard, then Governor of Massacliu setts (Coll. Book, Vtll. p. 112).

TTbe foregolDg versefl I found in two separate mannscrlpts in the British
Museum, >iz. Add. MSS. 12496 and 15227. The former was purchased at the
8trawl>erry Hill sale, 30 Apr. 1842 (Lot 84). It has the bookplate of Mr.
Horatio Walpole and contains an inscription showing that it was bought at
the -ale of Sir J. Caesar's MSS. Dec. 1757 (Lot 64) for 1. 8. 6. It was evidently
a collection of MSS. (with a few printed proclamations. Ac.) made by Sir Julius
CffiHar, kn*.. Master of the Rolls. At least many of the documents had cer-
tainly belonged to him. The last half dozen seem to refer entirely to Virginia.
One ? f . 433) appears to be a form of policy for settling and gOTerning Virginia
and is entitled •♦ Mr. Capt. Bargraves project touching Va. 8 Dec. 1623." An-
other (f. 436) by Jo. Martin, is styled The manner how to make a Royal Planta-
tion. Another *(f. 439) by the same, The manner how to hring the Indians in
Subjection. A letter (f. 449) from John Martin to Sir Julius Ciesar. written
8 March 1G2G, at Martin Brandon, refers to the arrival of cousin Richard Mai^
tin, and names Capt. Prinne. It is signed •♦ Your Honnors ever faithfull brother
in law at Command— Jno. Martin." Another (f . 452) is the King's Com. for
settling a Government in Virginia, 15 July, 1624. The Verses upon Thomas
Wanhington begin fo. 364 and are endorsed "Epitaphiall Verses uppon the
death of young Mr. Washington Prince Charles his page in Spaine in anno 1623.**
The second MS. (Add. 16227) is a little duodecimo volume of miscellaneous
poems and metrical translations in manuscript, many of them epitaphs, some
humorous. The two copies differed somewhat. I have given the two readings
whc;re these differences seemed worth noting. The upper reading is from MS.
12496, and the lower from MS. 16227.
The connection between Sir Julius Cesar and his ' ' Bro. Martin *' as he calls him,
is explained by the marriage, 26 Feb. 1581 (2) of Julias Cfesar, doctor of laws
and one of the advocates of the Arches, and Dorcas Lusher, widow. Gen.
license granted 28 Feb. 1581-2 (Diocese of London). She was a daughter of
Sir Richard Martin, kn*., Lord Mayor of London, and widow of Richard Lusher,
gen*. She died Monday, 16 June 1695, and was buried in the Temple Church.

pn April, 1890» I peceiyed from Rev. R. M. Samaon, Head Master of Hawkahead
Grammar School, Lancaster, England (which School was founded by Edwin
Sandys, Archbishop of York tn Elizabeth's time), a copy of the record in the
Archbiahop's Bible which is kept at the School hoatie, and I herewith enclose a
copy from the lower part of the page (the uppf^r part bein^ a record of the
births of the Archbishop's children), and yon will notice the frequency of the
namea Wtisliinfiton, Spencer, Meuce, Anderson, etc.> as ffodpareuts of these
SandtR children. Now as Rob* Sandys, the eldest son of Thomas Sandys, 4th
son of the Archbishop, was married to Alice Washin'^too, sistiT of Sir William,
Sir John and Lnwreuce Washington, I am inclined to think most of the children
mentioned in the record were the children of this Robert Sandys (the name is
variously spelt Sandys, Sandls, Sandes, Sands). The deep interest tlic Sandys
family in England took in the settlement of America — botli Virg^iuia and New
England, and also later on in Connecticut and New Jersey, coupled Avith the
marrioj^es of the Sandes and Washington family — may make the record of
aome use to you, particularly if read in connection with Mr. Waters's note In the

not be correct; they are Doheres, Wem, Paraster^whleh latter may lie Pargiter.

[Readers of the letters of Roger WllUams printed in the Rei»i«tkr for July,
1889t have dotibtless felt a cariosity to know the name of the lady whose band
the future founder of Rhode Island sought in vain about 162J>. Havliiyr found
what I thouj;ht to be a clew to the mystery, I sent a query to the editor of the
London •* Notes and Queries." It appeared lu the issue of that periodical July
5, ISW, as follows :
**Whaixf.y.— A list of the manuscripts of George Alan Lowndes, Esq., of
Barrin^ton HalU co. Essex, In the ' Seventh Report of the Historical Mann-
acript^ C'ommlMslon/ Appendix, contains this entry : —
»'*(Xo. 150) 1628, July 28 [22], Screaveton.— Rye. Whalley to Laiiy Joane
Barrington, baronettess, at her house Hatfield in Essex. — On a report of the
death of her husband, Sir Francis, he condoles with her. Asks that his daughter
Hier niece) may still remain with her. Sends the third and last volume of Mr.
jrarkins's works.'
*' Can any reader of * N. & Q." tell which of Mr. Whalley's daughters this was?
The pedigree of Whalley, in the ' Visitations of Nottingham/ 1569 and 1614,
Harleian Society's rublications, vol. Iv. p. 118, shows tbat he had two dauyrhters,
Elizabt^th and Jane, the former of whom married William Tiflln, of London,
mercer. The famous Roger Williams, the founder of Rhode Island, then chap-
lain to Lady Banington's son-in-law, Sir William Masham, of Otes, solicited
of her, alwDut the year 1620, the hand of her niece; but the niece's name is not
mentioned in the correspondence on the subject, which is printed in the A>w-
England Utifiorkal and Gentalof/ical Uegisttr, vol. xUii. (1S8*J), pp. 315-20, from
a copy furnislied by Mr. Lnwmles, the owner of the ori{»^inal letters. I have
queried whether It was not the niece mentlonetl in Mr. Wballey's letter whose
hand Williams aspired to. A brother of Miss Whalley, Major-General Edward
Whalley^ one of the king's judges, came to New England and died here. Jane,
the youngest daughter oif Richard Whalley, named in the pedigree, married Rev.
William Ilooke, a graduate of Oxford University, who was vicar of Axmouth*
In Devonshire, but as early as lfi39 came to New England. He preached a few
years nt Taunton, io Plymouth colony, and from 1G44 to 1656 at New Haven,
Conn. He tlien returned to England, and was private chaplain to Oliver Crom-
well. Some letters of Mrs. Jane Hooke to friends in New England are printed
In the ' Massachusetts Historical Collections,* vol. xxxviii. pp. 2C0-G8. If this
was the niece of Lady Barrington whom Roger Williams T^Hshcnl to ninrry — and
I think It not unlikely that it was — though oue clergyman failed to obtain her
hand she became the wife of another."
Soon after the article appeared, I received the following letter from Samuel
Rawson Gardiner, Esq., LL.D. :
*' South View, Wedmore Road, Bromley, Kent, July 8, 1890.
"Dear Sir:
It will hasten matters if I reply directly to jour enquiry headed * JFTro/-
%'in * Notes and Queries.' The Barrington correspondence is now in
the possession of the British Museum, and Wballey'e letters are in Eger-
ton MSS. 2,644.
'*The letter which you quote is of July 22» not July 28, and is at folio
275. It aflords uo indication of the name of the daughter, but from another
letter I gather that it was Jaue. In a letter dated Not. 15, 1 623 (folio
204), Whalley writes to Lady Joan:

" From a letter of July 4, 1622 (folio 202), I gather that Elizabeth was
already marriotl. Whalley says he has been arrested by Tyffyu. * who was
a dogge to my daughter and hath performed neither to her or her daughter

Samuel R, Gardinee.
John Ward Dean, Esq., Boston, Mass,, If. S. A.**
It is reasonable to suppose that Lady Barrington's niece, who»e hand Williams
aoQght, wa« in some Tvay under the care of that lady. We fiml that ^lane
Wballey, in all probability* resided In her family about the time that Williams
made his proposal ; and we know of no other niece of hers who did. From the
facts stated, there i« little retison to doubt that Jane Whallej was the lady
In question. She and her husband, the Rev. William Hooke, cnme to Ntnv Eng-
land, and for some years lived at Taunton, not many miles from Providence,
the home, if my theory be correct, of her former lover.

The Duke of HamUtoiCs Power of Aitomc^,
[Jan.
third marquess and flret doke of Htmilton^ to whom the territory described In
the atHJve ini*trument was granted bj the Coancil of Plymoaih- The lioe of
descent Is through Anne Hamilton, his daughter, who fnarried Wiillam Douglas,
earl of Selkirk, and was the mother of James, fourth dake of Hamilton, who
was created Duke of Brandon, Sept. 10. 1711.
James Hamilton, the gnuatee of this tract, was the third marqness of Hamil-
ton. He was bom June 19, 160hS, and succeeded to the peerage on the death of
ms father. March 3, 1624-6. He went lu 1631 with an annj to the assistance of
Gastavu8 Adolphus of Sweden- In the civil war he was an ardent supporter of
the royal cause, and was created bj Charles I., April 12, 1643, Duke of Hamiton.
He was captured by the ParliamenUry forces August, 164^, was tried by the
High Court of Justice, and was convicted and sentenced March 6, 164$-9. to be
beheaded. He was executed on the dth. A memoir of him, with a portrait, will
be found in Lodge*s Portraits of Illustrious Fersona^tes, Bohn's edition, voL It.
pp. 271-283. Sec also the several editions of CoUins's Peerage, He was a
member of the *' Council established at Plymouth, in the County of Devon, for
the planting, ruling, ordering and governing of New England iu America, "* in-
CorporaU?tl Nov. 3, 1620. On the 8d of February, 1634-^5, the Council, prepara-
tory to a surrender of its charter, made a di vision of its lands among eight of
its raenibers. namely: 1, Thomas Howard, earl of Anindel; 2, .Tainos Stuart,
duke of Lenox; 3, James Hay, carl of Carlisle; 4, James Hamiltoo. nian^ucss
of Hamilton ; 6, Edward, Lord Gorges; 6, Capt. John Mason; 7. Sir Ferdiuando
Gorges; 8, Sir William Alexander, earl of Stirling. A portion of the record of
the Council, from May 31, 1622, to June 2S, 1623, and from Not. 4, 1631, to Nov.
1, 1638, b extant, and Is printed in the Proceediugs of the American Antiquarian
Society for April, \mi, pp. 51-131. The record of Feb, 8, 1634-6, containing
the bduiidgi of the above named grants, will be found on pages 114 to 118. On
the 22*1 of April, 1635, deeds of feofmeut were made, under seal^ to the eight
grantees, One of these deeds, that to Capt. John Ma&on, is printed In Tuttle's
Capt. John Mason, publijihed by the Prince Society, pp, 209-16.
The territory* under the grant to the Marquess of Hamilton was to be called the
County of New Cambridge. Efforts were made at various times by his descend-
ants to establish this claim, which were resisted by Rhode Island and ComieC'
tlcut. In 1GG4, Wiillam and Anne, duke and duchess of Hamilton, petitioned
Charles II. that their daim might be heard by the King's commissiouers, which
was granted. Their petition is printed in TruinbuH's History of Connecticut,
voL I. pp. 637-8. The answer of Connecticut, to the petitioners, is printed In
the same work, pp. 563-6. For the action of the commissioners, see Mast^achu-
setts Historical Collections, vol. v. pp. 218-19 and 230-31.
On the I'lh of April, 1683» Charles 11. appointetl Edward Cranfleld and others,
commissioners to inquire into the respective claims to the King's Province or
the Narraganset Country. The coraiulrssion is iirinted lu the Massachusetts
Historical Collections, vol. v, pp. 232-3. The duke and duchess of Hamilton,
and Iheir son, the eari of Arran, gave a letter of attorney, July 30. 1683, to
Edward Randolph, oue of the commissioners, to prosecute their claim before
the commission. The letter is printed in Hinman's Antiquities of Connecticut
("Letterii of English liings and Queens,'* etc.), pages 157-8. The comrais-
sloners held various sessions, and decided that the jurisdiction of the Narragauset
Countrj* belonged to Connecticut, and the soil to the Narragauset purchasers.
Their report, dated Boston, October 20, 1683, Is printed iu the Rhode Island
Historical Collcctious» vol. iii. pp. 22U-3S, and In the Massachusetts Historical
Collections, vol. v. pp. 233-44. Bandolph did not arrive until after the report
bftd been agreed upon and signed. The commission, however, again couvcued,
beard the duke's deed read, and listened to the pleas of Randolph, which they
voted to transmit, with the answers of the Narragauset proprietors, to the lOng
for his consideration.
After the accession of James II. the earl of Arran petitioned, April 3, 1685,
in belialf of his claims. The petition was rcferretU with others, to the Board
of Trade.
Much on this subject will be found in Arnold's History of Rhode Island, vol.
i. pp. UU, 305, 471-«0; 505, 629, 537-8; vol. ii. p. 90. An abstract of doctt*

A General Review of the Events or the War.
The fole object of this series of papers was, at tlie beginning,
the preservation in convenient form of the names of tliose sol-
diers who served in the Indian War of 1B75-7, kno^vn a.8 "King
Phih'p*8 War"; so called from the name of the recognized lender
of that war, whose Indian name was Metacora or Pometacom, or
Metacumet ; but whom the English called Philip. He was the
second son of Massasalt, who at the settlement of the English at
Plymouth and Boston seems to have been chief sachem of all the
various tribes and fragments of tribes living between the Chiuiea
River and Narraganset Bay, and including that part of Hhude
Island east of the Bay, and also the Cape Cod tribes. The rule of
Maseasoit was probably rather indefinite both as to limits of territory
and extent of authority over the subordinate cliiefs. While Maesa-
eoit seems to have been the acknowledged head of the tribes within
the limits above named, the league between the chiefs of the tribes
waa evidently very loose, and held mostly for convenience in
defence, and perhaps for the settlement of ditticultiea between indi-
vidual tribes. The territory of this Sachem was bounded upon the
west by tlic Kipmucks and Narragansets. But a very great propor-
tion of this had been sold by the Sachems before the opening of the
war. Massasoit had several children, tliree of whom are known ta
110 by name ; Wamsutta and !Metacom, who came to Plymouth
about 1(156 and at their own request received English names from
the Governor, who '^christened" them 'Alexander'* and ''Philip." A
sifter of these was the wife of Tuspiiquin, chief of the Namajskete ; she
was culled by tlie English "Amie." Mention is made of another son
and also a daughter, but I have not proper authority f«»r their names.
Alexander married a Sachem's daughter, or widow, of the Puciisset
tribe, and atlter his death, soon following Massasoit's. 1661 or ^62, she
returned to her own people, and ruled there with inHuence and
ability until the war ; when her second husband, Petananuet, Pctono-
wowett, or "Peter Nunnuit" (as he is sometimes called), took sides
with the English, she, possibly reluctantly, joined the fortunes of
Philip, who iiad married her sister Wootonekanuske, and had great
luence with her.
Massasoit had always maintained a cordial and firm friendship
the English ; and it would seem that Alexander also was some-

what of his father's nature and disposition. The moment, however,
which saw Philip raised to the place of power, gave signal of a far
different course of conduct on the part of the Wampanoag Sachem.
The limits of his father's olden territory had been greatly reduced
before he came to power. The Encrlish had purchased and other-
wise absorbed a large proportion of their lands. Philip kept on
selling and surrendering, till at last, as early as 1670-1, he began
to feel the pressure of civilization upon their hunting and fishing
grounds as well as cornfields. The Court at Plymouth itself had
interfered and forbidden the transfer of certain parts of the Wam-
panoag territories, and thus doubtless saved the Indians in various
tribes a home. Pokanoket, the hereditary home, was thus saved to
Philip's people ; and here he lived at the time of the opening of the
war. This place was called by the English "Mount Hope," and it
is now embraced in the town of Bristol, R. I.
But now having given some account of the principal character in
the war, we may state briefly the method of collecting the material
in these papers, and the purpose of tliis present chapter.
Tiie method adopted in arranging the soldier's names needs ex-
planation. The material which served as the basis of the work, and
indeed first suggested the undertaking, was found in three manu-
script volumes, containing the accounts of John Hull, who was the
Treasurer of the colony at the time of the war. These volumes are
devoted to the accounts pertaining to the war, and consist of a
Journal and two Ledgers. The Journal was opened June 24th, 1675,
and originally contained over five hundred pages, as the Ledger
shows, but now has only four hundred and sixty-one complete.
There was evidently a later Journal and also a Ledger, now missing,
whieli belonged to the set. The third book is later, and contains the
closing accounts in the war. These old books were preserved in
private hands for a century and a half, until discovered by one who
appreciated their value for genealogy and history, and secured them
for those purposes. In searching these books for the name of one who
served in the Indian war, the present writer discovered the impor-
tance of the accounts in the matter of the Indian war of 1675. Every
soldier who served in that war is credited with military service, and
the name of the oflScer under whom he served is given in the credit.
The date at which payment is made is given in the "Cash" account,
but the time and place of service is not designated ; nor is the
residence nor any further information about the soldier given.
Some of the soldiers served at different times and under different
oflScers. The best method therefore of arranorinor the men in com-
panics was found to be that of following the names of the officers as
they occur in the credits. The names were thus gathered from the
Journal, and placed in companies with their officers. Then the
fortunes of each company were followed as carefully as possible
throughout the several campaigns of the war. But it was found
hldiers in King Philip's War,
77
that a great nmoiint of impublislicd material is still preserved in our
Stato Archives* County and Town Kerords, and el^ewliere ; and
this, in the li^ht of the great number of names identified in these
credits as soldiers, becomes available and intereeting as iiii?tory.
Additional material has been gathered Rud incorpuvatcd here from
all sources, whenever it woukl add to the sum of knowledge con-
cerning the war.
The officers and soldiers, many of them, served in eeveral, some
in all the different Ccimpnj;j!:ns ; and thus in following their fortunes, it
was necessary to ^o over the same events many timea, so as to
iDar^hat the various companies in order in the military operations.
It wdl be seen that by this method of arrangement, a g^reat
amount of important material has been massed together conveniently
for the study of history, while the story of the wiir has not been
followed by consecutive events, but according to the experience of
individual officers and companiif. It is proposed in this final
chapter to give a brief account of the war, following events in oi'der
as nearly as possible. It will not be necessary to discuss the causes
leading up to the war. It is enough to say here^ that the English
had assumed the government of the country, and follovve<l tlveir
course of settlement with small regard to the rights of the natives.
In some of the jJantations, the settlers purchased their lands of the
Indians, as a matter of precaution ; partly tliat they might have that
show of title in case any other claim shoukl be set up in opposition
to theirs, and partly to conciliate the savages, whose liustility they
feared, and whose friendship was profitable in the way of trade, in
furs and other products of the hunt. The Indians were always at
disadvantage with the English, in all the arts of civilized life. The
English paid no heed to Indian laws or customs or traditions*, and
ruthlessly imposed their own laws, customs and religicms ideas, wiih
DO apparent thought of their intolerance and injut<.tice. They made
treaties with the savages in the snme terms which they would have
used had they been dealing with a civilized nation. They made
out deeds, in language which only the learned frumers themselves
could understand. In brief, the Pilgrims and Puritans mustly
looked upon the Indians as heathen, whose ^'inheritance" God
'lueant to give to his people, as of old he hnd dealt with Israel and
[their heathen. Tliere were some, however, who, with Rev. John
£ttat, believed that the Indians had immortal souls, and thai they
were g'iven to God's people to educate and save. But there was
[nothing which the rulers of the Indians resented more persistently,
complained of more frequently, than the attempts of the Chris-
tti convert their people. Indirectly one of these converted
108 WHS the immediate cause of the opening of hostilities. There
were many grievances of which the Indians complained ; but they
hai] not the foresight to see the inevitable result of the constantly
ijicrca^ing power of the English, in their acquisition of land, and

from their standpoint there were grievances enough to drive them
to rebellion. But our forefathers seem to have been unable to see
anv hut their own side. But now to the story.
John Sassamon (^Ir. Hubbard savs Sausaman) was the son of a
Wampanoag Indian who with his wife and familv lived in Dorchcstor.
Thev had been Unght by Mr. Eliot, and professed the Christian
fiith. The son John was the pupil of Mr. Eliot firom his earlj
youth, and wss made a teacher among the Christian Indians at
Xatick. Mr. Hubbard says that **upon some misdemeanor" there*
he went to the Wampanoags, where he became the secretary and inter-
preter of the chief, to whom he was a most valuable assistant and
trusterl adviser. He was soon prevailed upon by Mr. Eliot to return
to Natick, where he became a preacher, while still preserving
friendly relations with Philip and his tribe. In 1672-3 he was
at Namnsket as preacher among the Indians, whose chief was
Tuspaquin, whose daughter Sassamon had married. AVhile here
he discovered that a plot was in process, extending among many
trifjes, to exterminate or drive away the English settlers from the
country. This plot Sassamon disclosed to the authorities at Ply-
mouth, and afterwards the story was told to the Massachusetts
authorities ; and Philip was summoned to answer to the charge.
At the examination, where nothing positive could be proved against
Philip, he found by the evidence that Sassamon had betrayed him,
and he immediately condemned him to death in his council. The
sentence was carried out January 29, 1674-5 while Sassamon was
fishing through the ice upon Assawomset Pond. His executioners
were brought to punishment, and it was discovered that the deed was
done by Philip's order. The trial was in March, 1675, and the
principal actor, Tobias, and his accomplice, Mattashunannamoo,
were executed as murderers, June 8, 1675 ; while Tobias's son, who
was present but took no part in the crime, was reprieved for one
month and then shot. After the execution of the two in June, Philip
threw off all disguise as to his plan, and pushed his preparations as

79
diligently as possible. The plan had been to complete preparations
and include all the tribes in New England, so that a simuttaneoua
afieault could be made upon all the settlements at once. This plan was
spoiled, and probably the settlements saved from destruction, by the
impatience of the leaders vengeance. While Philip's preparations
went forward, the authorities thought best not to make any immediate
military demonstration further than the placing of a guard by the
Yftrious settlements to prevent a surprise. They thought Philip
would soon tire of holding his men in arms and training, so that
they could get him in their power. But his company increased, and
the youno^er warriors began to demand some open act of hostility.
At last tiiey began not only to insult the English settlers in the
nearest settlements, by their words of insolence and threats, but to
«hoot their cattle and plunder their houses. The Indians increased
greatly in numbers, from the neighboring tribes, many "t^lrange
Indians'^ appearing among them, and most of their women and chil-
dren being sent away to the Narraganset country. At Swansy they
appeared in considerable numbers, and used all their ways of provo-
cation to induce some act of resistance from the settlers ; and at last,
upon June 24th, one man waa so enraged at the shooting of his
cattle and the attempt to rifle his house, that he shot at an Indian,
wounding him. Upon this the Indians began open and indiscrimi-
nate hostility, and on that day eight or nine uf the English at
Swansy were killed and others wounded. Two men were sent for
a surgeon, but were waylaid and slain, and their bodies left upon the
road. Messengers, sent from the English authorities to treat with
Philip and prevent an outbreak, came upon the bodies of the men
slain in the highway, and speedily turned back. The colonics awoke
to the fact that an Indian war was upon them, but supposed that a
few companies sent down to Swansy would at once overawe the
savages and reduce them to submission. A speedy muster was made,
both at Plymouth and Boston, and on the afternoon of June 2t>th,
five companies were mustering or on the march from tlie two colonies.
The details of the account of the war will be found in the body of
the preceding chapters. Here only a brief outline of current events
can be given. The first company of infantry from Bostcm was made
up from the regular military companies of the town. A company of
cavalry, or " troopers," was gatiiered from the regular organization
in three counties. A third company, of "volunteers,** raised about
the town and vicinity, from all sorts of adventurers, sea-faring men
and strangers, with a number of prisoners who had been convicted
of piracy and condemned to death, but were now released to engage
in fighting the Indians. Capt, Daniel Henchman commanded the
first company ; Capt, Thomas Prentice the troopers, and Capt.
Sainael Mosely the "volunteers.*^ These three companies marched
oitl of Boston on the 26th and 27th and arrived at Swansy on the
jSthf having formed a junction with the Plymouth forces under
troL. XLV. 8*

Major James Cudworth and Capt. Fuller. The forces quartered
about the house of Rev. John Miles, the minister at Swansy, whose
place was nearest the bridge leading over the river into Philip's
dominions. Some of the troopers that evening rode across the bri<4;e
and had a slight skirmish with the enemy. On the 29th, Major
Thomas Savage arrived with another company of foot with Capt.
Nicholas Paige's troop. Major Savage took command of the
Massachusetts forces ; while, according to the custom in the United
Colonies, the senior officer of the colony in which the forces were
engaged at the time became commander-in-chief. The present seat
of war being in Plymouth colony. Major Cudworth was thus the
commander of the whole army. On June 30th, the troopers, sup-
ported by Mosely's company, charged across the bridge for a mile
into the woods, driving the enemy before them into swamps, with a
loss of five or six. Ensign Perez Savage being severely wounded on
the English side. This charge so frightened the Indians that they
fled, in the night, out of their peninsula of Mount Hope, across the
channel to Pocasset, now Tiverton, R. I., so that on the next day
when the whole force marched over into Mount Hope, and marched
back and forth sweeping the country with their lines, they found no
enemy. The forces were engaged several days in scouting the
neighboring country in search of the Indians, not yet knowing that
the main body were in Pocasset.
Then orders came from Boston for Major Savage's forces to march
into Narraganset, to enforce a treaty with that powerful tribe, and
prevent their junction with Philip. They found the country appar-
ently deserted, few except the very aged being left in any of the
villages. Neither Canonchet nor any of his leading Sachems could
be found. The officers, however, spent several days completing a
very ceremonious treaty with some of the old men whom they were
able to bring together. Canonchet afterwards treated the whole
matter with scorn as being a farce.
In the meantime the Plymouth forces passed over to Pocasset and
found a body of Indians, and had a skirmish with them. Capt.
Fuller was in command, and Benjamin Church conducted a part of
the force, which became engaged with a much larger force, and after
hard fighting were drawn off with difficulty by the tact and courage
of Mr. Church, after inflicting serious injury upon the enemy, and
suffering little loss themselves. After this the Indians retired into
the swamps about Pocasset, and were held at bay until the return of
the Massachusetts forces ; when all marched together for concerted
action against their enemies.
On July 18th the combined forces arrived at the Pocasset swamp,
and made a resolute attack upon the enemy concealed in the thick
underbrush, from whence at the first volley they killed five and
wounded seven of our men. After this volley the enemy retreated
deeper into the swamp, where it was impossible, night coming on,

to follow them. The commanders in council concluded that they
hsd the enemy now enclosed flccurely within the swamp, whence it
was impossible to escape, if a aaitable guard were left to watch.
Major Sfivage and the Massachusetta men returned to Boston, except
Capt. Henchman's company of one hundred men, who, with the
Plymouth forces, remained at Pocasset. Capt. Henchman be^^an to
build a fort there, which might serve as a stronghold for the English
and might guard the entrance to the great swamp.

JOHN LAIQN'S DEED, 165a.
Commanicated bj the Hon. Samcsl A. Gkibk» M.D., of Botton.
The following deed by indenture, once belonging to John Lakin,
of Groton, was found several years ago among some old papers in
that town. In early times deeds were often given in this form, as
there was then no general system of public registration, Lakin
was a native of England, who came to this country with his elder
brother William, his mother, and hia grandfather Lakin. The
family settled first at Reading, where the name was sometimes
spelled Laukin ; and a few years later they were all living at Gro-
ton, In the spring of 1655 the two brothers were petitioners for
the Groton Plantation, and both were original proprietors of the
town» each owning a twenty-acre right. Their names are given In
the fac-simile copy of the petition, printed in the Register (xxxvi. 23)
for January, 1882, where it is stated that the signatures appended
to the document vary In the style of hand-writing, though they
do not appear to be autographs, and may have been written by the
same person. From the resemblance between Lakin's signature to
this deed and several of the signatures to the petition, I am inclined
to tliink that he wrote eome of the names on that paper ; and perhaps
William Martin, who heads the list of signers, wrote others.
John Lakin married Mary, daughter of Michael Bacon, as appears
from a communication in the Register (xli. 262) for July, 1887 ;
and George PoUe (or Polly) married Elizabeth, daughter of Edward
Winn, as appears from Sewall's History of Woburn (page 630) ;
and these facts will account for their witnessing the deed.

RETURNS OF THE UNITED STATES DIRECT TAX OF
1798.
On the 24th of August, 1844, Mr. William H. Montague,— one
of the founders of the New-England Historic Genealogical Society,
of whom a memoir will be found in the Register for October,
1890, — was appointed Debenture Clerk in the Custom House at
Boston. While holding the office he made the discovery of the
NOTES AND QUERIES,
returns oFthe United Statea Direct Tax of 1798 for the state of Massa-
chueette, including the Diatrict of Maine, which returns have been
bound in twenty thick folio volumes and are preserved in the library
of the New-England Historic Genealo-^ical Society. Mr. Montague
having occasion to go to the Gusto ra House earlier than usual, found
the janitor making a fire, and taking up some of the paper used to
kindle it, he saw on examining the sheets that they were returns of
the above-named tax. He asked the janitor where he got the (laper,
and was shown a large pile of these returns. Directions were given
that no more of them should be destroyed, and application was made
to have them depojjJted in the library of this Society, which, after
some unavoidable dehiy, was granted. Before depredations were
made, they contained an inventory of all the buildings and lauds in
the state, with their valuation and the names of every owner and
every occupant. The returns for Boston wiJl be printed by the
Boston Record Commissioners. Those of no other state are known
to be preserved, though duplicate returns of each state were made,
one of which was sent to WashinMon.

^™ The PRKSKRVATIOlf OF BaiTTTtrUL UTD HlSTOaiCAI. PLACBS in MA3SA<JinJ*
SETTS.— On May 24th, 1890, a confereoce of periions Interested In tbe preserva-
tion of scenery ami historical sites was held in Boston at the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology, President Henry H- Spragne, of the State Senate,
presided. Snggestlre speeche* were made by the Hon. Leverett Saltonstall,
judge William S. ShurtlefT, Profeiaor C. E. Norton, Mr. J. B. Harrison, and
others ; and letters from Governor Brftckett, Dr. Holmes, Mr. Whittier, and
many others, were read. The Conference created a Committee to promote the
prNwrratlon of beautiful and historical sites in MassachusettSt and this Com-
niittee now issnea the following Cihcular (No. 1) t
The fuDdament&l facts of the subject with which the Committee has to deal
are two, namely :
Ist. It la the self-interest of the Commonwealth to preserve, for the enjoy-
ment of her people and their guests, all her finest scenes of natural beauty and
all her places of historical Interest.
2d. Private ownership of such scenes and places now prevails, so that not
only is the public completely barred out from many especially refreshing and
interesting spots, but these valuable places are oftea robbed of their beauty or
Interest for some small private gain.
The problem calls for Intelligent action on the part of the Legislature, and
generous action on the part of private citizens. The Committee will ask the
Legislature to act for the best interests of tbe Commooweaith by establishing
a Board of Trustees, capable of holding lands for the use and enjoymeot of the
public ; and the Committee will ask the owners of lands, and the possessors of
money which can buy or maintain lands, to endow the Trustees with suitable
lands and considerable funds immedistely upon their incorporation. With the
fofitering approval of the Legislature, the' large and small gifts of enlightened
citizens have provided Massachusetts with colleges, libraries, art museums, and
bospltalB. When the State shall have established the necessary organization,
glfte ot beautiful and Interesting places and sites may be confidently expected,
for DO nobler use of wealth can be imagined.
84 Notes and Queries, [Jan*
Jndge William 8. Shnrtleff of Springfield, Hon. Henry L. Parker of Worces-
ter, and Moses Williams, Esq., of Brookllne, have been appointed a Snb-Com-
mlttee on Legislation. The establishment of an advisory Board, in addition to
the Board of Tmstees, will probably be recommended to the Legislature, its
members to be elected as Delegates from existing incorporated associations.
The State possesses many thriving historical and out-of-door societies, and
they will be called upon to unite in establishing and assisting a Board of
Trustees which shall be capable of holding property valuable to one and all.
Such acts of the Trustees as involve the asuumption of permanent trusts will
come before this Board of Delegates for confirmation.
The Committee desires to hear from the oflScers of all societies which may
wish to send Delegates to the proposed Board, and also from the oflScers or
members of any societies which may see fit to assist the Committee by adopting
resolutions favoring the establishment of the proposed Board of Trustees for
public places.
The Committee hopes to be informed of ail movements now on foot looking
to the opening to the public of any beautiful or historical places, as also of all
lands which it may be desirable and possible to obtain for the proposed
Trustees. Letters may be addressed to the nearest member of the Committee,
or to the Secretary, Charles Eliot, 60 State Street, Boston.
Lastly, the Committee requests all persons who may feel interested in this
attempt to facilitate the preservation of natural scenery and of historical mem-
orials to scud contributions for this purpose to the Treasurer of the Committee,
George Wigglesworth. Esq., 89 State Street, Boston. If the working fund can
be made large enough, the work of the Committee can go on prosperously ;
otherwise it must languish.

86 Notes and Queries. [Jan.
Clarke.— lo my '* G^ealogy of the Descendants of Nathaniel Clarke of New-
bnry, Mass./' published in 1885, page 7, I snggest a near kinship between the
said Nathaniel and some of the Clarks at Ipswich. My later investigations
discredit this theory, and I have abandoned it. On page 86 of the above work
I refer to an assertion, which has been in print, that John Gage of Rowley was
a younger son of Sir John Gage, created a baronet, March 26, 1622. It seems
to me that the evidence is conclusive that this assumed relationship is purely
fictitious, and that the ancestry of John Gage of Bowley must be sought for
elsewhere. a. k. o.
Dea. MtLES Ward.— The following item from "The Boston Post-Boy and
Advertiser,*' September 10, 1764, may have sufflcient genealogical interest to
be inserted among the Notes of the Beoister. — s. a. a.
On the 20th of last Month died at Salem, Deacon Mile* Ward, aged 92 Years :
He was of a chearfnl Disposition which he retained with his Memory to the
last ; he never had been ill till very lately, and then only weak and lame with
age ; he was able to give a very particular Account of Things done upwards of
80 Years ago ; he was a Person of Good Conversation, a good Neighbour and
Friend, and a sincere tho* chearfnl Christian. His first Wife was Daughter of
Mr. John Maaseyt who was the first English Male Child bom in the Massachusets
Colony.
Queries.
Mareax or Marion. — ^A wish to learn the origin of that William Marean who
married at Boxbury, Mass., 7 Jan. 1701-2, with Elizabeth Clark, led to the com-
pilation of the following records, from such sources as I could reach. The
question is not yet solved, and I will be thankful for any help which can be
given by those who are within reach of the records. The family pronounce the
name in three syllables, with the accent on the second.
A careful study of the printed records of Boston, 1630-1700, has convinced
me that persons mentioned under a variety of names were really of one family —
Marion, Marean or Merion. I send this study in the hope that it may be of
service to some other student.
D. Williams Patterson, of Newark Valley, N. Y.
1. John* Marion, a cordwainer, of Watcrtown, Mass., about 1640, married
with Sarah Eddy, daughter of John and Amy Eddy. They removed to Boston,

about the year 1691— nearly two hundred years ago.
Have you, Mr. Editor, or any of your multitude of readers, may I ask,
knowledge of the little prayer having been any earlier in print ? And was it
first in print in the United States of America or in some other part of the world?
I am very desirous of learning when and where, and in what language, the little
prayer was first in print, and what is known concerning the oral transmission
of this hymn, and in what language it was originally composed.
I have information that a learned gentleman, who Is making a search for the
genesis of this child's prayer, has traced it back to England and Scotland, and
expects to find it in an old Latin hymn.
Can you, Mr. Editor, or any of the readers of the foregoing kindly give me
the information desired, or suggest to me where and of whom I may possibly
obtain it ? Charles Marseilles.

The Historiographer wou!d inform the Society, that the sketches pre-
pared for the Register are ntjcessarily brief in consequence of the limited
space which can he appropriated. All the facta, however, which can be
gathered are retained in the Archives of the Society, and will aid in more
extended memoirs for which the ''Towne Memorial Fund," the gift of the
late William B. Tovvne, m provided. Four volumes, printed at the charge
of this fuod, entitle*! "Mi:MORrAL Biographies," edited by the Commit-
tee on MemoriaJSf have been issued. They contain memoirs of all the
members who have died from the organization of the societj to the year
1862. A fifth volume is in preparaiioD.
WnxiAM AiA'ORD BimiCE, Esq*, of Lowell, Mass., a life member, died at
Lowell, May 28, 1HH7, lu his 76th year. He was a sou of Benjamin* and Rfixana
(Alvord) Burke, and was bom at Windsor, Vt., July 7, 1811. He was a de-
■cendant in the 0th g:eneration from Richard' Burke of Sndbnry, Mass.. who died
•bout l«9:i-4. by wife Mary Pamienter; through Richard* and 'wife Abigail Saw-
tell ; Jonathan* and wife Thankful Walt ; Solomon* and wife Keztah Benjamin ;
aud Benjamin,* bis father above named.
He attended the academy at Windsor, kept by Mr. Joslah Dnnham, with the
Intention of receiving a collegiate cHlucation; but in May, 182C, his parents re-
moved to Dnnstabte, N. H.» now the city of Nashua. This with other circum-
stances led him to give up the intention. William in Decornl>er of that year
entered the machine shop of the Nashua Manufacturing Company as an appren-
tice to the machtnist'a trade. After llnishing his apprenticesbip. he worked at
hia trade in Nashua, — except a part of the years 1829 and 1830, when he was
employed In the machine shop of the Locks and Canals in Lowell»— until Jan-
QAry, 1884, when he removed to North Chelmsford, Mass. In this place he
had charge of a machine shop owned by Messrs. Ira Gay & Co., of Nashua,
N. H., till March, I83e], when he became master mechnnlc at the Boott Cottoa
Mills in Lowell. The agent of the mills was Mr. B. F. French. In October,
1839, he removed to Manchester, N. H., and took the agency of the Amoskeag
Manufacturing Company's machine shop, which had just been erected in that
place. He put in operation these works and had direction and charge of them
until April, 1845. when he returned to Lowell and became superiutt'odeat of the
Lowell Machine Shop, a corporation that had just been organized and had pur-
cluised the machine shop and some other property of the •' Proprietors of Locks
and Canals on Merrimack River." He held this situation seventeen years, nntll
April, 1862, when he became the agent of the Boott Cotton Mills of Lowell,
Mass. Mr. Burke continued as agent of these mills until 1868, making great
alterations and Improvements In them, and putting the entire plant on a Arm
financial basis.
In 1868 he assumed the treasureahlp of the Tremont Mills and Suffolk Manu-
facturing Company, both of Lowell, Mass. He remained here for two years,
lud in 1570 was elected assistant treasurer of the Great Falls Manufacturing
Company, of Great Fulls, N. H., and of the Dwlght Manufacturing Company,
<jf rt.i,.. ,»>... . Af*i^s. ; for about six years he devoted his time principally to the
r >th these plants. In 1876 Mr. Burke was electeil Treasurer of
lb line Shop, and continued until 1884 to fill the position accept-
ably, when owing to the Inilrmlties of age he resigned.
96 Necrology of Historic Genealogical Society. [Jan.
Besides the positions mentioned above, Mr. Bnrke was director In many cor-
porations, and his advice was often sooght after In matters relating to their
management.
Mr. Burke was twice married: first at Bedford, N. H., Jnne 6th, 1887,
to Catherine, daughter of John and Amy (Nevlns) French, who died
March 7th, 1870, by whom he had children : — 1, EUen Maria (died young) ; 2,
Catherine Elizabeth ; 8, William French (died young) ; 4, Annie Alvord ; 6,
Edward Nevlns. Married second, to Elizabeth Mary Derby, June 4th, 1878,
who survives him.
He was admitted a member of this society September 4, 1858. The Burke
and Alvord Memorial, published In 1864, was compiled for him by Mr. John A.
Boutelle, and was printed at his expense. j. w. d.
John Eolington Bailet, F.S.A., was bom at Edgbaston, Birmingham,
England, February 13, 1840. When he was quite young his family removed
Into Lancashire, and he was educated at the old Botcler Free Grammar School
at Warrington. From an early age he displayed an Interest In historical sub-
jects ; and, In after years, although actively engaged In business In Manchester
during the greater part of the day, Mr. Bailey found time In the evening for an
amount of reading and research which enabled him to produce a quantity of
work characterize by unusual accuracy and thoroughness. lid took an
especial Interest In the lives of the Lancashire ministers of religion In the 17th
century, and probably knew more of that branch of local history than any other
writer. Possessed of an excellent library of the literature of the 16th and 17th
centuries, archaeological works, and local histories, which he knew how to use
to advantage, and having fonned a valuable collection of manuscripts bearing
on the history of Lancashire, Mr. Bailey was able to edit four volumes of the
" Palatine Note Book*' In a manner which may well serve as a model for other
periodicals of a similar nature. But the work he will best be remembered by Is
the "Life of Dr. Thomas Fuller," published In 1874, and now exceedingly
scarce; a thick otavo volume of great Interest and much originality, which
makes the reader regret that Its author was not longer spared to continue the
work for which he was so eminently fitted. Mr. Bailey was elected a Fellow
of the Society of Antiquaries of London, 13 January, 1876, and a corresponding
member of the New-Eugland Historic Genealogical Society, May 17. 1883; he
was an active member of most of the local antiquarian societies, a not Infre-
quent contributor to periodical literature, and was for several years the Honor-
ary Secretary of the Clietham Society. Declining health, due in a great meas-
ure to his indefatigable labors, terminated iu his death on the 23rd of August,
1888. (Com.)

About 1856, he formed a partnership with Hon. Charles R. Train in Boston,
which continued till the war for the preservation of the Union broke out. He

im Cuiqu€. John Dickinson the Author of the Declaration, on Taking up Arms
in 1775. By Gkohgk H. Mooiie, LL.D. Superintendent of the Lenox Lib-
rary. With a fac-*iimile from the Original Draft- Nevv York: Priutv^d for
the Author. 18yO. Royal 8vo. pp. 55. Price $1.
•* John Dickinson had no superior in the highest rank of the advocates of his
country's rights during the period of the Revolution," says Dr. Moore in the
work before us, reatl as a paper before the New York Historical Society , June
eth, 1882.
The mrdn object which Dr. Moore had in view in preparing this paper and in
now layliiij it before Ids countrymen in |>rint, was to invontigate tlie subject and
decide upon the autliorshlp of •• A Declaration by the Respresentativoa of the
UnlU'd Colonies of North America now met in General Congress at Philadelphia,
trHltSff forth the Causes and Necessity of their taking up Arms," reported by a
iMfl^ttttee t»f which Dickinson was a member, and adopted by Congress in the
saamierof 1775* At tliat time Dickinson was reputed to be Its author- The
** Declaration " was included iu his Political Writings In two volumes published
In 1801. Three years later, in asserting his claim to another paper in that col-
Irctlou, Dickinson wrote: " Every one of these writings was composed by me."
For more than half a century, Dickinson enjoyed the nndisputed credit of
being the sole author* In 1829, the " Memoirs, Correspondence and Private
98 Book Notices. [Jan.
Papers of Thomas Jefferson ** were published. In the memoir, which he began
writing in 1821, at the age of 77, Jefferson gives the date of his taking tiis seat
in Congress, which was on the 21st of June, 1776. He then adds : *' On the 24th
a committee which had been appointed to prepare a declaration of the causes of
taking up arms, brought in their report (drawn I believe by J. Rutledge) which
not being liked, the House recommitted it on the 26th, and added Mr. Dickinson
and myself to the committee I prepared a draught of the Declaration
committed to us. It teas too strong for Mr. Dickinson. He still retained the
hope of reconciliation with the mother country, and was unwilling it should be
lessened by offensive statement. He was so honest a man, and so able a one,
that he was greatly indulged even by those who could not feel his scruples. We
therefore requested him to take the paper, and put it into a form that he could
approve. He did so, preparing an entire new statement and preserving of the
former only the last four paragraphs and half of the prbcedixq onk. We
approved and reported it to Congress who accepted it." For another half a cen-
tury— till 1882 when Dr. Moore liad his paper — this later statement was received
as tnie. In the work before us the author examines the question as to the
authorship of this document. With his usual thoroughness. Dr. Moore brings
together a mass of facts bearing upon the question. After reading the evidence
produced in these pages, it seems obvious to me that Dickinson was the sole
author of the production, and that the claim of Jefferson is preposterous. As a
final evidence, Dr. Moore, when he read his paper before the New York His-
torical Society, produced the original manuscript of the " Declaration ** In
Dickinson's own handwriting, which had been preserved in the archives of that
society. Upon tliis he remarks :
" I am well aware of the danger of attempting to determine the authorship of
a paper, intended for the public, from the handwriting in which the manuscript
appears — unless the proofs are patent that it came from him whose thoughts
and expressions it records. In this case there is no room whatever for doubt.
The suggestion of imitation or forgery is excluded. No person but the author
himself ever had any hand in the preparation of this document. It is in the hand-
writing of John Dickinson, and these corrections, additions, interlineations,
revisions, in number, extent, position and character, forbid the supposition that

Mr. Dickinson's fame as a patriot and an author is ably vindicated in these

Economic and Social History of New England, 1620-1789. By William B.

We were aware that Mr. Weeden had devoted years of patient research to the
preparation of his Economic and Social History of New England, but until we
saw it in |)rint we had no adequate appreciation of its extraordinary value and
importance. It is a mine of information, an encyclopedia of facts and statistics
essential to a proper understanding of the commercial and social life of New
England from 1620 to 1789, and includes in Its wide range many subjects that have
either been strangely neglected by other writers, or are found only in fragmen-
tary form in many difi'erent volumes. As we read the chapters on the Formation
of the Community and the Opening of Commerce, we were impressed with the
author's happy treatment of these themes, and with his historical scholarship.
Had there been nothing else of merit in the work we should have commended it,
because of these chapters, but as we read further and found that these were but
samples of others of equal or even greater value, we awoke to a realizing sense
of what Mr. Weeden has done for American history. The chapters relating to

This book is an enlorgemcDt of A paper read before the Historic Society of
icashire ami Cheshire.
The Une of inquiry in this book has never before been attempted. The author
is a proficient in the history of Heals, the result of forty years' atudy and re-
•earch; and he has nearly completed for publication ao elaborate "Corpus
Sis^illorum," which will '' bring together In one view a larpe nnmber of English
[Seals of each century for the eye to rest upon and so to comprehend the various
[^yles at dilTerent dates."
*• It seems desirable," says the author in bis preface, " that a classified body
snch kuowledfce should be drawn up and available — enBl>llng us to date with
>me certainty (within the limit of a few years) seals pendant to undated
rtera. stone carvings on ancient bnlldings, and Illustrations in MSS., which
»0ow labelled ' circa."* The volume before us, thouj;h small in sixe, contains
»enre of his lonjf and laborioiiH research. In it "each century from the
r«Jth to the flfti?enth is separately dealt with. After that date," "the author
s, *'the nomenclature of Bhlelds devised by my friend, Mr. J. I'anl I^y lands,
.A., la followed, and the earliest and latej^t examplrH found of each shape
Iduced— thus showing the range of time when the variety was most commonly
use. Keferences are given for every statement. Mantllugs. torces, wreaths,
branches and other adjuncts are discussed under their Heveral headings —
ith descriptions and dates of any varieties found." This book will be
leful to antiquaries, who will find Iiere aids to research which are nowhere else
be obtained. The book has a good index.
We take this opportunity to call attention to the larger work of the author, his
•* Corpus Sigillornm/' and to advise our readers to send in their subscriptions at
ict», so that he may be able to put it to press at an early date. The price to
ibscribera will be thirty shillings. It will form a bulky volume, and it will
[retiuire a large list of subscribers to cover the expense, We quote from the
kpc^ctaa :
What the author contemplates would show perhaps fifty selected character-
tic seals for each century from the eleventh to the seventeenth, displayed to
of date. So large a number would not be needed at tlic earliest or latest
(, but for some of the periods a greater number ought to be given. Students
jet together snch collections in tracings and drawings— as the labor of
I; and It is feared very few have perscverauce enough to carry out fully
aim ; but wUliout such exact data conclusions must ]ye guess-work." Mr.
Iraxebrook ha^ snch a collection for his own use, and knows from experience
rhat a great advantage it is.
'This proposed well-illustrated book would not only be most valuable and
istructive to the antiquary, it would also possess a far wider and general
itt!rest, because the*ie are the highest specimens of Art remaining to us of
>e early times in which they were made. Seals at all dates are the results of
le greatest skill and care to be procured, according to the owner's means; and
ly of them are masterpieces, both of design and ex*K!ution. They display
the whole career of Art : the simplicity of early times, gradually developing and
culminating in the perfection of the fourteenth century ; to be followed by
overloaded designs, beautified by exquisite workmaosJiip, at the end of the
dft«enth.
*• Such a pictured History of Art could not fall to be Interesting and attractive
to many who would not care to study the subject from a strictly antliiuarlan
point of view. This large collection'of engravings would be accompanied by

The Antiquities of the StaU of Ohio, Full and Accurate Descriptions of the Works

Diustrated with maps, plans, vietps and relics. By Henrt A. Shepherd.
Cincinnati : Robert Clarke & Co. 1890. 4to. Cloth, pp. 139. Price $2.00.
This reprint, from the popular History of the State of Ohio, by the Hon.
Henry A. Shepherd, is chiefly a description of the wonderful ancient remains
within the limits of that great state, concerning whose builders history is silent,
even to their names. Each of the six chapters is devoted solely to the descrip-
tion of a single class of these works. Following the dictum of the wise and
philosophic Warburton, that *• human nature will, under the same circum-
stances, without any help, exhibit the same appearances,*' each chapter con-
cludes with a few brief remarks upon the purposes and objects of these con-
structions, commonly accepted among archaeologists. No absolute conclusions
are asserted. In our baffled ignorance, It alone appears clear that vast labors
were expended, which must have required a steady and plentiful subsistence,
which only an extensive and productive agriculture could have maintained.
That all this was possible without a considerable attainment in civilization
seems incredible. These are not the public works of primitive savages. They
evidence skill and no low order of rude Intelligence. The gratitude of scholars
is due the careful and competent author who, here, places upon record, with
illastrative maps, plans and views, the condition of these mounds in the present
generation. All Interested In ethnological or archaeological studies will find in
this volume one of the most important repositories of American contribution.

Southern Historical Society Papers. Vol. XVII. Edited by R. A. Brock, Secre-
tary of the Southern Historical Society. Richmond, Va. : Published by the
Society. 1889. 8vo. pp. 441.
This collection of the Southern Historical Society is so largely devoted to
the ceremonies attendant upon the erection of the monument to General Lee
that it is called "Lee Monument Memorial Volume." Besides placing upon
record the entire history of the inception, execution and dedication of the Lee
monument, the volume opens with the address last November before the annual
meeting of the Southern Surgical and Gynaecological Association, by its Presi-
dent, Dr. Hunter McGuire, LL.D., who served during the war as the medical
director of the 2d (Stonewall Jackson) Corps of the Army of Northern Vir-
ginia. This is followed by the address before the Survivors' Association of
Confederate Surgeons, at Columbia, S. C, also last November, by Dr. Peyre
Porcher, A.B. A very valuable and interesting paper upon the Race Problem
at the South, delivered at the National Cemetery, at Memphis, on Memorial
Day, 1889, will attract attention by its boldness. Other addresses upon sub-
jects of historical interest at the South, with lists of Confederate garrisons
placed under fire, on Morris Island, in 1864, a roster of surviving general offi-
cers of the Confederate Army, and a copious index complete a volume, pregnant
with matter otherwise unattainable, and indispensable to the correct apprecia-
tion of events, of which they were part and parcel.

Index to Davy*8 Suffolk Collections. By Geobob Gatfieli> of the British
Museum. 8vo. pp. 33.
Davy's Suffolk Collections in the British Museum have long been known to
genealogists, and Mr. Gatfleld has done a good service in preparing this index
of them. The manuscripts, he informs us, are arranged alphabetically and make
forty-three volumes. They are among the "Additional Manuscripts," and are
numl)ered 19,114 to 19,156. They were compiled by David Elisha Davy, and
consist of pedigrees of Suffolk families and of families connected with that
county, with genealogical and biographical notes. As many of our New-Eng-
land emigrants came from Suffolk, the book will be of much assistance to
American genealogists in their researches.

*' Few books In the English langtiage," says Mr. Whltmore in his preface*
"have had so great and persistent circulation as the collection of Nursery
Rhymes known as Mother Goose's Melody. In presenting a repriut of the ear-
Beat known edition, some bibliographical notes may be in place. According to
my present knowIe<lge, I feel sure that the origlnafnaiue Is merely a translation
from the French; that the collection was first made for and by John Ne\vl)cry
of London about A.D. 17*50; and that the grent popularity of the book is due
to the Boston editions of Muuroe and Francis A.D. la^i-lSGO."
In the Kecjistek for 1873 (pp. U4-G; ail-15) are several articles on the
anthorship of Mother Goose's MekuHes. In the Qrst article Mr. Whitmore
gives excellent rea,sons for disbelieving the story that the name Mother trtiose
is of New Enjjhmd origin.
In the pamphlet before lis are collected an array of facts relating to the
book and the name. Mr. Whitmoro does not find the name Mother Goose In
American nor in English literature at a very early date; but he finds its equiva-
lent to be of considerable antiquity in the French language, "la M<&re Oye**
being found in a poem bearing date 1650. The popularity of the name, however,
dates from the publication. In l(lil7, of the nursery tales by Charles Perrault,
entitled *• Histolrea ou Contcs du Terns Passe," also styled " Contes de ma m^re
Poye." This work seems to have been translated into English by ttolx^rt 8am-
hi'Ty and published as " Tales of Pasacd Times by Mother Uooae" as early aa
1729, perhaps earlier.

The Lutheran M(m€ment in England during the Meigns of Henry VIII. and Ed-
ward rz., and ita Literary Monuments. By Henky Eyster Jacobs, D.D.,
Korton Professor of Systematic Theology In the Theological Seminary of the
KvangelicAl Lutheran Church in Philadelphia, etc. etc. Philadelphia: G.
W. Frederick. 1890. 8vo. pp. 376. Price $2.
The principal purpose of this book, as the preface declares^ is '*to promote
Ik thorough understanding of the hi^storical relation of the Lutheran Church to
the varlotts English-speaking commuuions In this country, whose course has
been Influenced by the history of tlie Church iu England during the sixteenth
century/' This purpose is a most laudable one; and, as the author remarks,
*' It is surprising that a book illln^ this place has not appeared before." fn
view of the recent appearance of the German Lntherau Church of the North-
west as a compact power cooperating with the German Catholics in opposition
to the cxclnslvo teaching of the English language in the public schools, this
work of Dr. Jacobs may be regarded as a book for the times, since it emphasizes
the fact that Lutheranismi is not German any more that it is English, or Scotch,
or Dutch, or Ilungarian.
The Lutheran Church in the ITciled States now numbers between four and
lire millions of members, hicludiug more than a million comrauni cantos, and It
is growing with great rapidity in all the elements of denominational power. In
spite of all that some short-sighted Lutherans of German extraction have
done to make it a German Church distinctively, the English language has already
been adopted by many Lutheran congregations, and this revolution iu language
win steadily go forward. *'A8 the varions nationalities which its a<lhereuts
represent, merge in one American nationality, so their various languages," aa
Dr. Jacobs foresees, will sooner or later l>e **laid aside for the common lan-
goage of the country." And this book will ha9t^^n the movement. In another
aspect also it is a book for the times. In view of the impulse toward Christian
unity now felt among different denomlnatluns of English-speaking Protestants,
Dr- Jacobs has done well to recall the discussions which took place in the times
of the Tndora, with reference to a union of the Lutberan and Anglican
Churches. When the proposals for unity, which the bishop* of the Protestant
Episcopal Church put forth at Chicago in 1»86, were presented to the Southern
Synod of the Lutheran Church, the latter replied that it was ready to resume
the negotiation for the union of the two Churches at the point where it waa
broken off in the relgu of Renry VI IL Perhaps the mainspring of the move-
ment, in 1535, was Queen Anne Boleyn, though Thomas Cromwell, Archbishop
Cranmer and several other prelates, favored it ; but Henry's ambition to be a
sort of Grand Caliph of the united Churches was too much for the Lutherans to
gratify ; and the judicial murder of that queen in 1536 excited such horror and
disgust for the royal rul!lan that the movement failed. It may be renewed
with better success now, both these churches being In this country free from
■ay entangling alliance with the state. The great indebtedness of the EngUah-
ffpeaking world to Luther and Latheranism for the English Bible, the Book of
Common Prayer, and very much of its early religious literature, Is well and
nit<?ly set forth in this volume. We have noticed several minor errors
:ch, when a second edition appears, should be corrected. For example, it

able progress had been made in the development of civilization before the red In-

lines of their towns and houses and graves. In the latter, which are curious stone

Col. Van Buren has chosen an appropriate title for his attempt to let the great
President tell the story of his own public life from his nomination to the presi-
dency to the hour of his assassination, for the whole book was spoken or written
by ^ir. Lincoln. It is, in effect, a treatise on the War of the Rebellion, for in it
the motives of the rebels and the patriots, their principles of action, their modes
of tliought, their resources and tlieir conduct are explained by the man who best
understood them all. It is as good an introduction as can be found to tlie study
of the details of the war. It has a value equivalent to a history of the Ameri-
can Revolution by George Washington or of the English Commonwealth by
Oliver Cromwell. The glory of soul and mind that shine from all its pages is
Mr. Lincoln's ; to the editor belongs the honor of such implicit faith in his hero
that he does not fear to present him to the most crucial test, — to let him be
judged by his own words. Criticism of such a book would be presumptuous,

It is gratifying to notice that societies like this and kindred societies are
formed from time to time to do work along lines similar to those laid down by
the New-England Historic Genealogical Society and other historical societies,
for not only preserving and collating such historical matter as is easily accessi-
ble, but, also, as far as possible, of searching for and bringing out new facts
bearing upon the historj' of our country, gathering and arranging data which
will tlirow additional light upon the i)a»t. The original sources from which in-
formation may be obtained are liable — through carelessness, accident, or the
lapse of time — to become destroyed.
The object of this Society, as set forth in its constitution and by-laws, is an
phia
^H not I
I him.
ftdmfrable one* As the title indicates, it proposes to take for Its special study
a«d re*M»ttrch the period of the Rcvolntlon, and it has for its praiseworthy object
the purposje of perpetuating' " the memory of the men, who, in the military,
naval and civil ser^nce of the Colonies and of the Continental ConjcresjH, by their
acts as counsel, achieved the Independence of the coantry, and to further the
proper celebration of the auulversariea of the birthday of Washington and of
prominent events connected with the war of the lievolution; to collect and
aecnre for preservation the rolls, records and other documenta relating to that
period."
Male descendants of any one who served faithfully In the military or naval
fcnrice under the authority of any of the thirteen Colonies or of the Continental
Congress, or a descendant of one of the signers of the Declaration of Inde-
pendence, or of any member of the Continental Confess or of the Congress of
any of the Colonies or States, or as an official appointed by or under the
authority of any such leg:islative bodies, actually assisted in the establishment
of American Independence by ftervices rendered during the war of the Revolu-
tion, are eligible to mernbersiiip In the Society.
There is a general Society with Its board of offlcera. It also intends to In-
clude Huch branch societies from the ditferent States as may desire admission.
The name of John Woolf Jonlan (the donor of this pampMet to our Society)
appears in It as the Registrar of the Pennyylvauia Society.
We wiah the Society and its branches every success.

himself in a different calling. In the volume before ua he first presents to
Qfl the incidents in the private life of Judge Gibson, with a history of his
ancestors and kindred, who were prominent in Pennsylvania liistnry. This

Some of Mr, Hunnewell's previous works have been noticed in the Reoister,
among them "The Lands of Scott," "The Historical Monuments of France,"
*' The Imperial Island," and '* A Century of Town Life." In the present work
he gives an account of illustrated books on America. '* Along with examples
of niMirly all styles and qualities of engraving," says the author, these books
*' show ns an even greater variety of what has been learned or imagined about
the western hemisphere. Maps, which are very numerous, form a class by
tberasolvL's, wi in later times do almost countless wood cuts. Before 1530 the
Utter were, however, about the only sort of engravings relating to the New
World."

relating to e«*iiealojDry.
The finirt bttok on oar list, '* Genealo<ji«il Memoranda of the Family of Ames,"
large and elegant volume, handsomely printed on heavy white paper and
>ly lUustrated with portraits and views. It show* how much can be
by research, good judgment and taste, and ample means, to preserve in an
manner the memorials of a family. Thy volume aeems to be intended to
»erve in print the ancestry of the antlior and his brothers and sisters, and a
ird of various families from which they are descended or to which they are
Tlie 11 lustrations are of a hit^h order of merit, and quite a number of his-
ic personai^es are among the portraits. One folding pedigree is that of the
deiacendauts of Matthew Ames of Doulting, Somerset, who lived in the seven-
teenth century and is the ancestor of the author; and another gives thirty -two
lineal a8ceuts of the author for live generati*)ns. The author i* a descendant
of President Charles Ctiauney of Har\ard College, ami a very full tabnlar p**di'
(free of the Chiiuncy family is given. There are also pedigreea of Mauduit,
Mortimer, (Jouge and other families. Many wills, diaries! and other documents
illuBt rate the >vork.
The next book^ on the Bigelow family, is a bulky volume containing a very
full genealogy of the descendants or Jolui Bigelow of Watertown, Mass. The
author seeraa to have made his research with great thoroughness, and has col-
lected the records of about Ave thousand persons descended from the immigrant.

thoroti^bly traced. Much biographical matter If given and nomeroiis portralltt
are print^^d in the text. There Ib an " Appendix of additional biographical and
historical matter, obituary notices, letters, etc.. and armorial beario^s." Tba
author has produced a valuable book- A complete index Is given.
The next book contains raemolnii of two brothers, Hon. Matthew and Dr.
Gerardus Clarkson, prominent citizens of Philadelphia In the last century.
Each memoir Is written by a great-grandson. The lives of these brothcrn in-
cluded the whole period of the Eevolationary war, of which both were scipport-
erSt the elder having rendered military service as an officer in It. He was for
aeveral years mayor of Philadelphia. Much illustrating the history of Penn-
sylvania Is preserved in the pages. A considerable portion of the work is de-
Toted to the ancestry and descendante of these men. The authors have done a
service to the public by giving them this memorial of their ancest^irs and
kindred. The volume la handsomely printed on thick white paper, and is em-
bellished with twelve line engravings, consisting of portraits, views of build-
ings, etc.
The book on the Fisher family gives the descendants of Joseph Fisher, bom
April, 1734, a native of Saxony, who emigrated to this country at an early age,
and settled in New Jersey. In 1788 he removed to Northumberland County,
Pa, The volume is compiled by Clarence W. Fisher of Mechanlcsville, N. Y.
The Fisher Family Alls 146 pages, the rest of the book being devoted to the
other families named on the tltle*page. Mr, Fisher has succeeded in gathering
a full account of the descendants of his immigrant ancestor, with much biogra-
phical maiter relating to the mombcTH of the family. It is carefully arranged
on the KFXiisTEU Plan, and is handsomely printed, with twenty Illustrations,
consisting of portraits, views of residences, etc. Fac-sinilles of two famUy
records are given.
The book on the Torrey family is by Mr. Dnlphns Torrey of New York city.
Four brothers, William, James, Philip and Joseph Torrey, sons of Philip and
grandsons of William Torrey of Combe St. Nicholas, co. Somerset, England,
were among the early emigrants to New England. William settled at Wey-
mouth, James at Scituate, Philip at Koxbury, and Joseph at Hehoboth. From
them a numerous progeny has proceeded. A fall genealogy is not attempted.
What we have liero are ** genealogical notes showing the patenial line of de-
scent from William Torrey of Combe St. Nicholas, Somerset County, England.
A.D. 1557, to Abner Torrey of Weymouth, Massachusetts, with all dcscendanta
of Abner Torrey." The deacendaots in all surnames of this Abner Torrey, bom
1736. are very fully traced in this book. An appendix of interesting matter and
a good Index are added. We commend the book to our readers.
The Sayward book Is by the Hon. Charles A. Sayward of Ipswich, Mass.
The llristof the name found in New England wa^ Edmund, who resided In
Ipswich, Mass. , in 1034. and subsequently removed to York, Maine. His brother
Henry came here In 1637 and settled at Hampton, N. H., but also finally re-
moved to York. The book gives a very full account of the descendants of
these brothers, besides some records of persons of the name who have not be^
connectetl with them. The book is well arranged and has a good Index.
The next four works whose titles we give — those relating to the Warren,
Conant, Bogman and Morey families — ore issued in one volume. They were
compiled for the late Moses Conant Warren, who did not live to see his work
completed, but died, after a brief illness, Oct. 1, 1800, just as the last sheets of
his book were going through the press. The Warren family here recorded Is
deacended from Arthur Warren, who settled at Weymouth, Mass., as early as
16Sd. No connection has been traced between him and Richard Warren of
Plymouth, and John Warren of Watcrtown. The parentage of neither of thesa
early immigrants has yet been discovered. The Conant family is from Roger
Conant, a native of East Budleigh. Devon, where his ancestors were settled.
He was at the head of the colony plant^Kl In 1623 at Cape Anne, and subsequently
removed to Salem (See Register, 11. 233-39, 329-36). The Bogman family la
descended from Jacob Bogman, a wealthy planter of Paramaribo, Dutch Guiana,
whose son. Charles Laurens Bogman. born May, 1747, emigrated to New England
and settled at Providence in 1767. The Morey family is descended from Boger
Morey, who settled at Providence, R. I., in ifj36. The branches of the several
families recorded lii these books are carefully traced and well arranged. They

separate Index.
The Bartow book Is by the author of the works on thia family noticed by na
In July. I87fi, and in AprlU 1887. Thw seems to be a reTigion and extension of
the latter work, much new matter being added. It has a foklinj^ talmlar pedi-
gree, is handsomely printed and is embellished by several fine en^rayings.
The new number of the history of the Dudley family, of which Are have now
been issued, snstains the interest of the work. The pjenealogical account of the
descendaotd of Gov. Thomas Dudley in the line of hia oldest son, Hev, Samuel
Biidley, ia here continued. More matter relative to the English Dudleys, and
to others of the name in thia country, ia given. It \& lUnstrated with numerous
portraits and views.
The book on the Joy family is by Mrs. Cornelia C. Joy Dyer, the compiler of
the Dyer genealogy noticed by ma In July, 1884. The New-Eiiglaud Joys are
descended from Thomas Joy, an early aettler of Boston. Much intereating

The *• Memorial to my Honored Kindred '* is prepared by Mr. Darling as *
tribute of affection to hl3 father, Rev. Charles Chauncey Darling, his mother'
Mrs. Adeline Eliza Darling, and his brotlier, Mr. Elisha Coit Darling; and as

To the well-written memoir before na of the Rev. Daniel D. Tappan, bom
1798, died 1890, Is appended ** Some Account of the Tappan Family." *' A List
of (lie Descendants of bis father Samuel Tappan of Portsmouth, N. H.," shows
that seventy-three descendants of Samoel were living July 15. Id90»
The Low pedigree, which is next in order, gives the descendants to the fifth
generation of William Low, born in Boston, Mass., Feb. IS, 1748, and died
there Sept 18, 1812. The record ia fully traced, with precise dates.
Dr. Lspliam's genealogy of the Knox fainlly, like all his work, is carefully
compiled. Though the descendants of Thomas Nock or Knox of Dover^ N. H.,
continued, with a few eiceptlona, to reside in that vicinity for a century, they
are now widely dispersed. The author has sQceeded in obtaining a very fuU
record of them.
The Parker family, to which the next pamphlet is devoted, Is descended from
Thomas Parker, who came to New England In 1635, and after a short stay in
Lynn, removed to Reading, of which he was one of the first settlers. The
author has not attempted a full genealogy of this family, but merely a record
of that part of it which may be characterized as the Roxbury branch. Of this
branch we And here a good record.
The next pamphlet on the Forsyth family contains much genealogical matter
rtlAtlve to persons of that name fn Europe* and America. Matthew Forsyth, a
QAtlve of Ireland, settled at Chester, N. H., in 1742. From hlni the author of
this work, Frederic Gregory Fon^yth (Forsyth de Fronsac) of Leesburgb,
Londonn County, Va., is descended.
The pamphlet on the Perry family is descended from Jonathan Perry of Top-
ham, Me., who was born at Scltoate, Dec. 28, 1780. His father was Joseph
Perry, but the line has not been traced further back. A very good record of
his descendants Is here preserved. Aj\ engraving of the homestead is given.
The next pamphlet gives the proceedings at the third gathering of the Poor
family, which was held at Haverhill, Mass., Sept. 14, 1887. The oration was
by Albert Poor of Boston, Other interesting addresses, remarks, poems»
letters, etc., are here printed. Thirty-nine pages are devoted to *• Obituary
Kotices," which are embellished with a Hue portrait of the late Major Ben :
Perley Poor, and a view of his Mansion House at Indian Hill, West Newbury,
M&ss.
The Allerton and French pamphlets are reprints from the Register, the
former from the number for July, 1890, and the latter from that of Oct. 1890.

WILLIAM FLETCHER WELD,
The family of Weld dfttes back to 1352, William Weld, High
Sheritr oF London. The New^England branch came from SuiFoik^
the home of Governor Winthrop,
In 1032 Ciiptain Joseph Weld, with liis brother, the Reverend
Thomas Weld, being "Puritans of the Puritans," came to New
England for freedom ; not penniless adventurers, with nothing to lose
and everything to gain, but leaving betiind home,, comfort, pros-
perity and assured poeition* fur conscience* sake.
Captain Joseph Weld settled in Roxbury, Mass., and became a
freeman in the colony, which made him a grant of several hundred
ftcres, now West Roxbury Park. This was the family home for
nearly two hundred years.
Being well trained in arms, he was a valuable aid to Governor
Winlhrop in military affairs, and served in numerous fights with the
Indians. His death was a great loss to the colony, and is mentioned
by Winthrop. Savage stated that he was the richcat man in the
odnny, at the time of his death, and was one of the first donors to
Harvard College, of which his brother Thomas was of the first Board
of Overseers.
William Fletcher Weld, the subject of this sketch, the sixth
generation from Captain Joseph Weld aforesaid, was born in the old
homestead, April lotli, 1800. His gnindfather, Eleazer Weld, was
a Judge, and also Colonel in the Revolutionary War, and Paymas-
ter of Washington's army at Cambridge, in 1777 and 1778.
His father, William Gordon Weld, was intended for the bar, but
bectinic a i^hip owner, sailed and loaded his own ship to foreign ports*
It was he, who, while commanding his armed ship the "Jason" in
1802, oF Tunis, beat off an Algerine pirate vessel and recaptured
two American brigs with their crews. In July, 1812, returning in
the ship Mary, with a valuable cargo of wine and Spanish silver
dollars from Spain, not knowing that war had been declared, he ran

[April,
into Boston harbor, right into the jaws of the Britiah frigate Spartan,
38 guns, waa captured and hia vessel, crew and cargo sent to Hali-
fax, and condemned. But the commander, Brenton, being an old
friend, allowe<l him to escape without imprisonment, but almost
penniless, to his home. In 1798 he raamed Hfinnah Minot> daugh-
ter of Jonaa Clarke Minot, a well-known merchant of Boston.
The family losses durinfj the Revolution, and the death of Colonel
Weld, necessitated the sale of the old homestead in Roxbury, in order
to divide the property among his brothers and sisters.
William Fletcher Weld was the eldest of eleven children, and
only twelve years old at the time. At the age uf fifteen he was
obliged to forego Ilnrvard College, for which he was intended, and
went into the office of T. K. Jones & Co., largely engaged in foreign
trade, and considered the leading importers ot Boston*
He became their head couiidential clerk ; and at twenty-two years
of age went into business for himself, which prospered well until he
was induced to take a partner, who started a house in North Caro-
lina, and by bad management wrecked the firm,
Mr. Weld was obliged to spend a whole year at the South to settle
the firm's obligations, and returning to Boston, "cast down but not
det^troyed," recommenced business as a commission merchant on
Central Wharf. When able to do so, he sought out his old credi-
tors, by whom he bad been legally released, and paid them in fulL
In 1833 he built the ship "Senator" at Charlestuwn, tlie largest
ship of that day ; and from that time forward, ship after ship was
added to his fleet, until the firm of William F. Weld <fe Co, became
the largest ship owners in America, and it might be truly said that
** their sails whitened every sea."
II* also became interested in the building of railroads in this
country, and was a large stockholder and influential director in many
of the Western railroads, as well as in those of New England. It waa
largely through his instrumentality that the Boston «& Maine Railroad
was built into Boston in 1844. He imported the rails for this road,
and transacted the busineas so much to the satisfaction of Messrs,
Thompson and Forman, the lending ironmasters of England, that
they sent for him to visit them ; which resulted in his becoming
their sole agent m America of all their rails.
The able and liberal manner in which he negotiated these sales to
the Western railroads, made it pos^^iblc to build roads and open up
new territory that otherwise might have remained unoccupied for
years* and brought liim in contact with all the principal men of the
great West.
He was a man of uncommon foresight, prudence, and sagacity.
His investments were wisely made* and he owed his great success to
his good judgment and steady belief in their future value, rarely
gelling, through all the various depressions and panics that have
taken place from time to time in this country.

^
Foreseeing the decline in the shipping intereat in America, no
more ships were built, and the fleet was gradually disposed of.
Mr. Weld retired from buftiness in 18G1, and henceforwnrd devoted
his attention larpjely to real estate, purchasing and building stores
and warehouses in Boston and New York, believing real estate in
the large growing cities to be the only safe investment of property
in this country for a long series of years, This policy he directed,
in his will, should be carried out by his trustees.
Mr, Weld was the oldest of eight brothers, none of whom died
young, but the Hon. Francis M, Weld was the only one who sur-
vivetl him.
It was as a memorial of his brother, Hun* Stephen Minot Weld,
one of the overseers of Harvard College, that he built and presented
to that institution, Weld Hall.
He gave a Home to the Children s Hospital in Philadelphia, where
he died, December 12th, 1881, leaving a handsome sum to the Butler
Hospital, and other charities.
He was buried in Forest Hills Cemetery, close to the old home-
stead where he was bom, and where six generations of bis ancestors
had lived and died.
His ample fortune was the result of his activity, iniJustry and
decision, united with a sagacity rarely equalled in the business life
of any American merchant.
In his religious belief he was Unitarian ; and he was Kcpublican
in his politics.
He left a widow, two eons and two daughters, and four grand-
^^ children.
^1 He became a member of this Society in Junej 1870.

SOLDIERS IN KING PHILIP'S WAR,
Cotmnunicated by the Hev. Dco&qb M. Bodos, A.M., of East Boston, Maaa.
[Concluded from page 8L]
No. xxxia
A General Review of the Events of the War.
The English were deceived by the apparent easy conquest of both
the Warapanoags and Narraganaets, and believed they had over-
awed them and set their hostility at rest, and now might take their
own time in crushing Philip and thus finishing the war.
Plymouth Colony had been engaged from the first in seeking to
conciliate the tribes, in their boundst^ whicli were related to Philip.
Through the efforts of Mr. Benjamin Church, a resident of Seconet,
118 Soldiers in Ring Philip's War. [April,
who was acquainted on pleasant terms with nearly all the tribes in
the colony, negotiations were held with Awashonks the squaw-
sachem of the Seconet Indians and Weetamoo the squaw-sachem or
'' queen** of the Pocasset tribe. Awashonks and most of her people
passed over into the Narraganset country at the opening of active
hostilities, and thus avoided joining Philip ; but Weetamoo and her
people were swept along with him in his retreat towards the Nipmuck
country. Plymouth companies were abroad, too, scouting the
country in the effort to protect their settlements, exposed, like Dart-
mouth, Middleboro', &c. They also established a garrison at Mount
Hope after Philip retreated to Pocasset, to prevent his return. The
entrance of Philip into the Pocasset swamps compelled the coopera-
tion of the hesitating Weetamoo, and afforded him a safe hiding-
place to recruit and prepare for his flight northward.
In the meantime the Massachusetts authorities had begun negotia-
tions with the various Nipmuck Indians. Seven of the principal
towns had been visited and treaties made with each. On July 16th
Ephraim Curtis returned to Boston and reported the Quabaugs
gathered at a great Island in a swamp beyond Brookfield, and show-
ing a defiant and hostile spirit. The Council immediately sent
Capt. Edward Hutchinson, escorted by Capt. Thomas Wheeler and
his mounted company, with Curtis as guide, to find the Indians and
bring them to terms. The company, accompanied by some friendly
Naticks, arrived at Brookfield on August 1st, and immediately sent
Curtis with the guides to arrange for a meeting next day. The
Quabaugs, whose leader was the famous Muttaump, agreed to come
next day to a plain some three miles from Brookfield to meet the
English. The next morning, the company, with three of the chief
men of Brookfield, rode out to the appointed place, but found no In-
dians. Urged by the Brookfield men, but against the earnest re-
monstrance of the Naticks, they rode forwanl towards the place
where Curtis met them the day before. But coming to a narrow de-
file between a high rocky hill and an impenetrable swamp, and rid-
ing single file, they found themselves caught in a great ambuscade
of the Indians, who let them pass along until they were able to sur-
round them, and then rose altogether and fired into their column at
close range. They killed eight men outright and wounded five, in-
cluding Capts. Hutchinson and Wheeler, the former mortally. The
Entjlish were forced to retreat, fighting, up the hill; and, under the
skilful guiding of their Indian guides, were able to make a safe re-
treat to Brookfield where they gathered the people and fortified a
house just before the Indians came sweeping furiously down upon
the village. Here they defended themselves against great numbers
for several days, till Major Willard and Capt. Parker came with a
company and reinforced the garrison, when the enemy retired.
At Pocasset, Capt. Henchman continued building his fort, and
Philip was making ready for his flight. The English seem not to
I:
have contemplated the possibility of a general war, Dor to have at
all appreciated the gravity of the present Bituation in the colonies.
Philip with all his fighting-inen and the greater part of hia own and
Weetamoo'8 people, escaped across the river and passed through the
open plain in Rehoboth, where they were discovered by some of the
settlers. A scouting party from Taunton made the discovery that
it was Philip's Indians who were thus escaping. The situation of
affairs may be brieily stated. Capt. Henchman was guarding the
awamp wherein Philip and his people were supposed to be securely
trapped. Major Cudworth and Oipt, Fuller were at Dartmouth
with a company of one hundred and twelve men. Lieut. Nathaniel
Thomas of Marshfield was at the Mount Hope garrison with twenty
men. At Rehoboth a company of Mohegan Indians under Oneko,
under convoy of Corporal Thomas Swift, arrived from Boston on
the 30th on their way to Capt. Henchman at Pocasset. Upon the
alarm, Rev. Mr. Newman, of Rehoboth, began to organize a com-
pany of volunteers for the pursuit of the Indians. Lieut. Thomas,
with a small detachment, happened to come to Rohoboth on the 30th,
and hearing of the escape, hastened back to carry the news to Capt.
Henchman, and urge his cooperation. Lieut. Thomas then, on the
Slst, took eleven men of his Mount Hope garrison, and being joined
by Lieut. James Brown, of Swansy, with twelve men, marched in the
pursuit. The Rehoboth men, with some volunteers from Providence
and Taunton, led by the Mohegana, had started earlier upon the
trail of the enemy. Lieut* Thomas and hia party overtook the
others at sunset, and after a brief council- of-war, sent out their
scouts, Indian and English, to discover the movements of the fugi-
tives. Having found that they had encamped for the night, and
apparently not suspecting pursuit, the English left their horses w^ith
a guard, and, with tlie Moliegans in the van, marched silently for-
ward to a field, at a place called " Nipsachick " (said to be within
the present town of Burrillville, R. 1. ) . The night being very dark,
they were forced to wait for light. At dawn they made their attack
upon what proved to be Weetamoo's camp. The Indians were
taken by surprise and fled, leaving everything behind them. But
the Mohegans and English rushing forward found themselves con-
fronted with Philip^s fighting men entrenched behind trees and rocks
ready for battle. Adopting the tactics of the enemy, the English and
their allies engaged them fiercely until d o'clock, when still fighting
desperately, but with powder nearly spent, the hostiles sullenly re-
tired, leaving many of their dead upon the field. Some twenty-
three of the enemy were killed, it is said, including a prominent chief,
Woonashura, called by the English, Nimrod. Of the English, two
were killed and one wounded.
Near the close of the fight, Rev. Mr. Newman and a party came
up, bringing supplies. Capt. Henchman arrived after the fight,
having sailed to Providence and marched up thence, with sixty-eight

soldiers and sixteen friendly Indians. He immediately took com-
mand, but concluded not to push the pursuit until next day. The
Rehoboth and Providence men returned home, to bring up sup-
plies for the further pursuit. They hastened back next day with ail
speed, but found to their great disappointment that Capt. Henchman
had not moved until that same day, giving the enemy a full day's
start ; and Lieut. Thomas and his party overtook him on the even-
ing of August 3d, at a place called by them in the report, '^Wapo-
soshequash." The enemy were beyond pursuit, a part (Weetamoo's
people, except the fighting-men ) having turned off into the Narra-
ganset country, while Philip and the rest passed into the great forests
beyond Quabaug. The Mohegans went to thair own country on
August 4th, accompanied by Lieut. Brown and a small party, to
Norwich, to secure provisions and news of the enemy. Af^er await-
ing the return of this party three days, Capt. Henchman on August
7th, marched back to Mendon, meeting Capt. Mosely with a com-
pany of dragoons coming up from Providence with supplies. Next
day Capt. Henchman went up to Boston, and the Rehoboth men
returned home. Capt. Mosely was left in command at Mendon.
Capt. Henchman was relieved of command in the field and was sent
to bring off his men remaining at Pocasset. Mendon had been at-
tacked July 14th, by a party of Nipmucks, led by Matoonas, and six
or more of the settlers were killed while at work in their fields.
When the Indians returned from their siege of Brookfield, they
met Philip and his people in the woods and told him of their exploit.
He was greatly pleased, and gave some of the chiefs presents of
wampum, and promised them fresh supplies of ammunition and
arms. The Brookfield affair had the effect of brinoring: in the falter-
iiig tribes, and Philip's coming confirmed the plan to clear the Con-
necticut Valley of English settlers. Massachusetts Colony raised
several companies to protect the frontiers. Capt. Mosely with his
own and Capt. Henchman's men marched from Mendon, and Capts.
Thomas Lathrop of Essex County with a fine company, and
Richard Beers of Watertown with another, marched to Brookfield
where their forces were joined by Capt. Watts of Connecticut with
two companies of English and Indians. Major Willard took com-
mand of this force, and broke it into several parties in order to better
protect the several settlements. These companies were engaged in
scouting the frontiers and guarding supplies sent up to the various
garrisons. The Springfield Indians, hitherto pretending friendship,
fled and joined the hostiles on the night of August 24 ; and the
English, pursuing, had a sharp fight with them at a swamp near
Mt. Wequomps, losing nine of their own men. The English troops
were concentrated at Hadley under the general command of Major
Pynchon. On Sept. 1st the Indians attacked Deerfield, burning
most of the houses and killing one of the garrison soldiers, and with-
drew. On the 2d they fell upon Northfield, where many of the
^

people were abroad at work in the fields, and the women and
children at the houses in the town. The assault was from all quar-
ters at once, and many were killed in the fields and aa they escaped
from their houses to the garrison. The Indians burned most of
their houses and drove away their cattle* On the 3d, Capt» Beers,
with thirty mounted men and an ox-team, was sent to briiioj off the
garrison of Norlhfield, not knowing of this attack. This force on
the next day was ambushed at Saw-SIill Bank, near Northfield, and
Capt. Beers and some twenty of his men were killed. Next day
Major Treat with a hundred men marched up to Northfield, finding
and burying the dead of Capt. Beers's company, and then bringing
off the garrison. It was now decided to strengtlien the garrisons
and act upon tlie defensive. Upon Se|)t. 18th Capt. Lathrop with
his company was sent to convoy teams bringing loads of grain from
Deerfield to Hadley. A strong ambuscade was made at a place
known since as "Bloody Brook," and there the Indians encompassed
and massacred nearly the whole company, some eighty, including
the teamsters. Ouly eight or ten escaped. The number killed
was between sixty and seventy. Capt. Mosely came hastily from
Deerfield upon hearing the shots, and engaged the great company
of several hundreds of Indians, charging in amongst them with
intrepid fury which drove them headlong before him into the woods
and swamps ; but, finding them gathering in immense numbers and
seeking to surround him, he threw out his lines to prevent being
fianked, and began a cautious retreat; when Major Treat coming
upon the field, the Indians, seeing the reinforcements, fled.
These terrible reverses threw a gloomy, superstitious fear over
the colonics. The English troops, hitherto despising the Indians in
war, now seemed helpless before thenu On Sept. 26th the Indiana
assaulted Springfield, west of the river, burning the houses and
bams. On October 5th, having made some demonstrations against
Hadley, the soldiers were drawn from Springfield to strengthen the
garrison, the Indians fell upon the latter village and destroyed it,
before the companies could return to save it. After this blow,
Major Fynchon begged the Court to appoint a commander of the
forces on the river in his place, and Major Samuel Appleton was
appointed, and by advice of the Council garrisoned the various towns
not abandoned, and then withdrew the other troops to Boston. The
Connecticut troops helped to garrison Northampton and Westfield,
and the Indians withdrew to their winter camps. Philip had long
since gone into winter quarters above Albany.
But now the colonies determined to strike the Narraganscts in
their own country before tliey should be able to join the hostiles.
A great muster was made in three colonies, and an army of one
thousand men was raised and equipped, half of which was sent from
Massachusetts. The Narragansets were entrenched in a very strong
position in a great swamp in what is now South ICingstown, R. I.
Soldiers in King Philip*^ War,
[Al
It waa claimed that great numbers of WampaDoags and other hoe*
tiles were among them finding refuge^ and thej were defiant and
threatening,. The English forcea under command of Gen. WinBlow
of Plymouth gathered at Wickford, and on December 19th, 1675,
marched some twenty miles through intense cold and a heavy enow-
storm, to the awamp ; the waters had been frozen by the severe cold^
and this fact made it possible for the English to reach the rude
fortificatione. Without waiting for any organized attack, the Mas-
sachusetts troops, being at the front in the march, rushed forward
across the ice in an impetuous charge, and into the entrance, where
the Indians had constructed rude flankers, and placed a strong
block-houae in front, so that the first to enter were met with a terri-
ble enfilading fire from front and flanks, and were forced back for a
time; but others coming on pressed into the breach, and, though
suffering severe losses, at last stormed all the fortifications, drove
the enemy from every line of entrenchments within the fort, and out
into the woods and swamps beyond. They set fire to the wigwams
and fitore-houses of the savages, in which were burned many of the
aged, and women and children. Then taking their wounded, the
English took up their marcli back through the deep snow to Wick-
ford, where they arrived the next morning.
The details of this fight, as well aa the subsequent movements
and recruiting of this winter campaign, are given at length in the
body of the work, and are thus briefly passed here. The Naixagan-
sets kept well out of the way of the English army, and made many-
pretences of negotiating peace, but at last, about January 26th, hav-
ing made several daring raids into the settlements, and captured
numbers of cattle and horses, Canonchet with his strong rear-guard
took up his line of retreat for the north, and two days afterwards
the army, some twelve hundred strong, marched in pursuit. The
Mohegans and Pequots, among the Connecticut forces, led the pur-
suit, and had several sharp skirmishes with the enemy, always re-
treating northward. This running fight was kept up ibr several
days, until provisions having failed and no base of supplies possible,
the General abandoned the pursuit and marched his troops to Marl-
borough and thence to Boston* The men suflTered severely in this
march, from hunger, and it was known for several generations as
the "hungry march.'*
The Connecticut forces separated from the others on February 3d,
and the main body of the army arrived in Boston on the 8th and
were dismissed. A company under command of Capt. Wade worth
was left at ]\larIborough to guard the frontiers and neighboring towns.
Canonchet and his great and warlike Narraganset tribe, maddened
by what they believed their wrongs, and thirsting for vengeance,
were now joined with Philip and the other hostile tribes, and all
within an easy day's call, except Philip and his band who still remained
m their retreat beyond Albany. The time was critical for the

settletneota ; prompt action wfts necessary on the part of the Indian
leaders, to keep their young men in courase and training. Upon
February 10th the Indians in great force fell ii[fOn Lancaster* and
nearly destroyed the town. They killed or took captive fifty of the
people* Among the captives was Mrs, Howlandson, wife of the
minister. One garrison-bouse was saved by the arrival of Capt.
Wadaworth and his company from Marlborough. * >n February
21et a strong body of the enemy suqirised Medficld, although a
large force of soldiers was then in the town. There were no guards
set, nor other precautions taken. The soldiers were scattered about
in the houses, and the Indians placed ambuscades in front of each
house, and shot them down as they rushed out upon the alarm.
The enemy were frightened away by the firing of a cannon, and crossed
the river, burning the bridge behind them. Another army was now
raised and sent out to the Connecticut River towns, to protect them»
and try to bring the enemy to battle. There were said to be two
great fortified camps ; one near the " Wachusett Hill," and the other
at Menameset, beyond Brookfield, The army was under command
of Major Thomas Savage, and consisted of three foot companies and
a troop of horse from Massachusetts* Connecticut sent several
companies of English and friendly Indians. A number of Christian
Indians from the Naticks went with Major Savage. The army marched
to Menameset, March 2d-4th, to find the enemy gone. They
pursued them to Miller's River, across which they escaped. It was
thought that this great body of the enemy would now fall upon the
western towns, so that the army marched thither, nbandoning the
design upon " Wachusett Hill " encampment. Major Savage dis-
posed his forces to guard the towns. On March 14th an attack was
made upon Northampton, but was repulsed with severe loss to the
enemy. On the 24th they appeared at Hatfield, but finding it well
garrisoned made no attack, though driving off some horses and
cattle. The Indians began to prepare for planting fields along the
river ; and Canonchet with a body of his men went back to their
country to bring up s€e<l-com, of which large quantities were there
stored. It is probable that a large company went towards Plymouth
colony, a small party of whom destroyed the house and family of
Mr. Clarke at Plymouth village. March 17th they burned Warwick,
Plymouth Colony sent out a company of fifty under Capt. Michael
Peirse of Marshfield, to protect its frontiers* A party of twenty
friendly Indians under " Capt. Amos " was joined with Capt. Peirse.
This company marched to Seekonk, and there had a sharp skirmish
with the Indians on the evening of March 25th- Next day, suppos-
ing they had beaten the Indians, they pursued them and were drawn
into an ambush and surrounded near Patuxit River with great num-
bers, flo that they were obliged to fight to the death. The whole
company, including the officers, were kiUed, together with eight out
of the twenty Indians. The enemy, too, lost very heavily. March
Soldiers tn King Philip's War,
r April,
28th and 29th the Indiana burned seventy houses and thirty barns
at Providence.
In the meantime in Massachusetts the enemy were not idle.
Lurking parties hovered about Groton, plundering the vacated
houses, and driving away any stray cattle within safe reach. On
March 13th they fell upon the town in force. The people were
gathered in five garrison-houses. One of the garrison-houses was
captured, but the people mostly escaped to another. The other
garrison-houses were stoutly defended. The Indians burned the
unfortified houses and withdrew. On March 2Gth, the fatal day of
Capt, Peirse*8 destruction, they burned sixteen houses and thirteen
bams at Marlborough. Capt. Brocklebank, then in command at
Marlborough, sent out a party in pursuit, who overtook and sur-
prised the enemy at night sleeping about their fires, fired into their
midst and put them to flight. On the same day, at Longmeadow,
a party going to Springfield to church was ambushed by a small
company of Intliane, and several were captured and killed.
Finding the campaign to have failed in its main object, the Coun-
cil ordered Major Savage to withdraw his troops, leaving Capt.
Wm. Turner, with a hundred and fifty men, to garrison the towns.
April 7th the army marched homeward.
But now the Connecticut authorities, fearing a return of the Nar-
ragansets to their vicinity, in numbers sucli as overwhelmed Capt,
Peirse, mustered a mixed company of English and Indians, and sent
them into the Narraganset country under command of Ca|>t8. Deni-
soo and Avery. These, guided by a captive whom they had taken,
surprised and captured Canonchet not far from the Patuxit river,
where he was encamped with a few of his men, while the great body
were scattered, scouting and foraging. He was soon after executed
by Oneko, by the judgment of the English authorities. The death
of Canonchet was really the death-blow of the war, for he was the
real leader of all active operations at this time, Philip was still the
chief instigator, however, and now more than before, became, for
the time, the controlling mind of a larger number than ever before.
There were dissensions, however, and many of the chiefs began to
murmur and some to threaten against him as the cause of all their
troubles. Some of the river tribes began to show signs of weaken-
ing, and proposed negotiations with the English, Philip withdrew
to the strong-hold near Wachuset with such as adhered to him, and
with Qiiinnapin, and such of the Narragansets as followed him.
The Indians were still active, and watched every chance to strike a
blow. They came to ^larlborough on Aprd 18th and burned the
abandoned houses of the settlers. Capt. Brocklebank commanded
the garrison there and refused to be drawn out into the ambuscades,
which, before the burning, the Indians had set. On April 20th they
crept down and encom|>a88ed the town of Sudbury. On that day
Capt. Wadsworth marched up from Boston with a company of fifty

men, passed through Sudbury, and doubtless the lines of the enemy,
without any knowledge of their vicinity. He was forcing bis march
to relieve tbe garrison at Marlborough, where they arrived about
midnight on the 20th, and without delay leaving their recruits, took
those relieved to come home, including Capt. Brocklebank, and
came back towards Sudbury. The great numbers of Indiana had
encompassed the town, and in the morning of the 2 Ist began to
burn outlying houses, to draw out the inhabitants from the garrison.
They soon made a furious and persistent attack on Haines's garrison
from morning till mid-day, but were beaten off, until rumors of rein-
forcements from various quarters caused them to withdraw to meet
these. Edward Cowell and eighteen troopers coming to the relief
of Sudbury were attacked, but escaped with only four killed, they
turning back suspecting the ambush laid for them. Capt. Wads-
worth soon after arrived by another road, and meeting with an out-
poet of the enemy rushed forward to engage them^ and, as usual,
they soon found themselves surrounded by great numbers, and
were forced to a position on a hill, where most of the company fell
fighting, including Capts. Wads worth, Brocklebank and Lieut.
Sharpe. Some sixteen of the company managed to escape to a
mill, and there defended themselves until relieved. A company
from Watertown arrived soon after Capt. Wads worth, and crossing
the river, made a brave attempt to get to the hill to join him in his
desperate fight, but were nearly surrounded themselves and forced
to retire. Capt. Hunting with a company of Christian Indians and
a squad of troopers arrived from Charlestown late in the afternoon,
m time to rescue the men at the mill. After this fight, in which
they struck such a terrible blow% and so close to Boston, too, they
6eem to have retired to their several camps, and soon to have
gathered to their great fishing-places in order to take the
run offish. Capt. Turner was still in command of the garrisons at
the west. From captives wlio had escaped, and scouts here and
there, came rumors of a great company of Indians fishing at tlie

covered at the camp of the Indians at the fishing-place. The sav-

through the wigwam doors. No resistance was possible, and those
who escaped the first fire fled in terror to the river, pursued by the
soldiers and were cut down or driven into the water without mercj ;
many were drowned attempting to cross the river.
But it was soon found that there were several other great bodies
of the Indians, above and below the Falls on both sides of the river,
and these began to swarm towards the fight. Capt. Turner now
prudently began a retreat, having struck his blow. As the soldiers
retired the enemy gathered in great numbers upon rear and flanks,
seeking to force the English into narrow defiles. Capt. Holyoke
commanded the rear-guard, and checked the enemy by stout fight-
ing, but for which, it is likely, the whole command would have been
lost. Capt. Turner led the advance, and while crossing Green
Eiver was shot down by Indians lying in wait. Capt. Holyoke
then led the company back to Hatfield, fighting nearly the whole
way. There the killed and missing numbered forty-five. A few
came in afterwards, reducing the number of the lost to about forty.
It is estimated that some two hundred Indians must have been de-
stroyed.
The blow struck by Capt. Turner greatly intimidated the enemy,
though the retreat was so disastrous to the English. The tribes
became divided and demoralized. They seem to have broken up
into small wandering parties. Philip with large numbers of his
adherents went down towards Plymouth. Massachusetts sent troops
to the western frontiers again, and also to aid Plymouth. The
operations in the field were mostly the pursuit of non-combatants, the
aged, and women and children. Large numbers of the Wampa-
noags and Narragansets had now returned with Philip to their own
country. Small parties from time to time plundered and killed as
opportunity offered. The colonists were roused to new activity at the
evident weakening of the Indians. Aid was sent to Plymouth, under
Capts. Brattle and Mosely, and Capt. Henchman did good service
in the parts about Brookfield. Major Talcott, with a mixed force of
Englisli and Indians, about five hundred in all, came up the river
and marched into Hadley about the 11th of June, and was quartered
there on the 12th, when the Western Indians, some seven hundred
strong, made their last great assault in force in these parts. The
town was quite strongly garrisoned besides this reinforcement, of
which probably the enemy knew nothing. The attack was alto-
gether unexpected and was furious and determined, but the repulse
was decided and sanguinary. Major Talcott then led his force down
into the Narraganset country, where, about the 2d of July, he
encountered a great body of Indians, and driving them into the
woods and swamps slew great numbers, and took many captives.
The plight of the savages was pitiful; without ammunition, without
leadership, without country or hope of any sort, they found no
mercy now at the hands of their olden foes, the Mohegans and Pe-
quots, nor yet the English.
The reraaining operationa of the war in these parts were flimply
the huntiDg down of almost defenceless enemiei*. The co]oiii«l
authorities issued a proclumation, calling all those Indians who had
been engaged in the war to come in and surrender, submittin;^
themselves to the judgment of the English courts. Maoj parties
sought to take advantage of this, but were captured upon their
approach by scouting parties, and treated as captives. Some of
those who hatl been prominent in the war and could not hope tor
mercy, escajjed to the eastward and put themselves under lire pro-
tection of WanunlaTicet and his Pennacooka, who had remained
neutral. Some fled further to the east* and there incttetl war.
The constant success which the Connecticut troops had always
had after their use of the Mohcgnns and Pequots, was a plain rebuke
to the Massachusetts colonists fur the numerous disasters from vvliich
the Christian Indtans might hnve saved them, if they had trusted
and employed them. As soon as Capt. Hunting and his Indian
company were put in the field, this appeared. The Indians in small
parties skulking in woods and swamps might have eluded English
soldiers for years, but as soon as other Indians were employed,
escape was impossible.
At the close of July, many of Philip's folh>wer8 had been taken,
and his wife and several of his chief men were captives or had been
killed. With a small band of his followers he was hiding in the
Bwnmps at Mounthope and Pucaeset. English scouting parties
were active in all parts of the colonies hunting down the trembling
and unresisting fugitives ; and especially Philip. Benjamin Church
was among the most active in hunting and bringing in the Indians*
and when one of Philip's men came to betray his chief, he found
Mr. Church at Major Sanfurd's in Rhode Inland witii his scouting
party of English and Indians a short distance away. Upon the
news of Philip's hiding-place and the offer of the Indian to lead
thither, Mr. Church gathered as many as he could enlist in addition
to his party, and, under the lead of the Indian deserter (who acted*
it is said, from motives of revenge for his brotlier's death, by Philijj's
hand, because he advisetl him to make peace with the English), the
party marched with great secrecy to Mounthope. Mr. Church
arranged his attack with skill, and came u[>iin Philip's party un-
guarded and asleep, and Philip springing up and attempting to
escape to the swamp near by, was cunfmnted witli two of Mr.
Church's guards, an Englishman and an Indian. The Englishman's
gun missed fire, but the Indian, named "Ahlerman,'* imntediately
fired and shot the great chief through tlie l)reast, st^ that he fell for-
ward into the water of the swamp, upon his face, dead. Phihp was
killed August 12th, 1676. Weetamoo's party, the sad remnant of
her tribe, had been captured on the 7th, and she, trying to escape
across a river, was drowned, and, !ier body being found, her head
waa cut off and paraded in the public streets. In the body of the

papers, by a strange continuance of an old mistake, this fact is
accredited to Awashonks, squaw sachem of the Sogkonates.
After Philip's death, his chief counsellor Annawou led the rest of
the party out of the swamp and escaped. With his party he soon
after surrendered to Mr. Church. The death of Philip was practi-
cally the close of the war, thou^i^h hostilities continued for some time
longer, and at the eastward for a year or more longer. At Dover
Major Richard Waldeme had held command of the military interests
and operations in those parts. He was a trusted friend of Wanna-
lancet and the neighboring Indians. Under the proclamation the
old chief and his people came in without fear, as they had taken no
part whatever in the war. There were many Indians with them,
however, it was suspected, who had been among the hostiles and
now wished to come in with the Pennacooks and secure the advan-
tages of their influence in giving themselves up. They began to
come in at Dover about the first of September, and when, on the
6th, the companies, sent to the eastward under Capt. Hathorn,
arrived at Dover, there were some four hundred there, including the
Pennacooks. In some way the immediate surrender of all these
was received, probably by Major Walderne's great influence with
them. They were then disarmed, and as the Massachusetts officers
insisted upon treating all as prisoners of war, Major Walderne
was oblig^ to send all, save Wannalancet and his ^relations,'' down
to Boston to be tried there by the Court. The number sent was
about two hundred.
Some of the Southern Indians, having lost all except their own
lives, passed to the Eastern tribes and were active in exciting to
hostility. The local Indians had been hostile the previous year,
connnittiug depredations from the Kennebec to Portsmouth. In the
summer of 1676, it is thought that many who had been among the
Indians in the war, came to these tribes and caused much of the
trouble which ensued. The day before Philip's death the Indians
fell upon the settlers at Falmouth, and killed or carried away some
thirty-four persons and burned their houses. Further eastward also
the settlements were attacked. It was upon these occasions that
Capt. Hathorn 's force was sent to these parts. They marched on
from Dover on September 8th, as far as Falmouth, Capt. Hunting's
Indians scouting the woods. This expedition was not of much
avail, as the Indians easily eluded the troops, being only war parties
without the encumbrance of women and children.
But the scope of this review of events did not contemplate the
detailed account of affairs which have already been related in the
body of the work, but to give a consecutive account for the con-
venience of readers.

Yesterday morning, al>out 9 of y* Clock, three of my men going
within a Gon shot of y* Garrisou (to drire up some Cowfi) were arabnshed
by ahout 50 or GO Indians, whom we Judge fired upon the Enemy, who
ImmediHtly discharged upon 'em about 20 Gunfl. & then Ran directly upon
our men. After that, they fired upon thi& Garrison somtime, while a
Party of 'era were destroying the Cattle; they tfirryed here tliree or 4
hours before we discovered 10 Canoos ^oing offt who Landed abuut a Mile
distant from us upon thit* Island. I then Mustered of our Little Party
what I Could Venture to draw out of y* Garrisons, w*^ the assistance of

Supposint; they had been killVl^ & after we hnd Scouted an hour or two
about a Mite Round upon this Point, We Returu'd without finding them,
so that we Judge they Carried 'em oflT alive.
The Indians are Still about us; this morning, liefore Sun Rise, Several
Appeared Runin^ into the woods, who Skulked iieary* Garrison Last night.
I expect we shall have *em about us till we have some Reliefe, our weak-

CHAJMPDOR^ IN NEW ENGLAND, 1608,*
By the Rev. B. F. De Cobta, D.D., of Nctt York City.
Pierre Angibaut, called "Champdor^." has hitherto been
known simply as a pilot in the service of De Mont, and not as
an actual leader of an independent expedition. Nevertheless, in
1608, Champlain's former associate brought out a company of colo-
nists to New France, and sailed down the ]VIaine coast as far as
Saco. This expedition has escaped treatuieut, for the reason that
the statements concerning it have appeared confused, if not con-
tradictory. It has been taken for granted, that the etforts of the
French, after the desertion of Port Koyal, in 1G07, were suspended
until IGIO, This, however, will appear to be a mistake, as
Lescarbot, in his edition of 1G09, gives an account of an expedition
that evidently went out in 1608. It is true tliat, in the nutumn of
that year, the Jesuit father, Biard, went to Bordeaux for the purpose
of joining an expedition which he understood was to have been
fitted out by Poutrincourt, but upon his arrival be could learn
• This article was written some fifteen yeiu-B ago, on flnding that Parkmtin had over-
lookeU Uie cxi>cditioB of 1608, which had also been overlooked by everv author of whom
the wrik-r had any knowledge. Sabwqnently, Dr. Slaftcr, In editing the Prince Society's
edition of Chuniplnin's work, noted the fact that lUo VQjago was made. It ia thuQ fbr
CluuDpdori to httvti dae reooguition«
138 Champdore in New England^ 1608. [April,
nothing about it. Poutrincourt had indeed promised the King to
undertake the work again that year, but he made no movement until
1610. In the meanwhile, however, an expedition was sent bj De
Mont, who had secured a grant giving him the monopoly of the fur
trade for one year. Biard probably knew nothing of this expedition,
though he understood that a movement was in progress. Besides,
the members of his Order were not wanted in the colony, and it was
not until 1611 that Biard succeeded in getting out to Fort Royal,
notwithstanding the influence of the King and Queen was thrown
in his favor.* From our general knowledge of the subject, it might
be concluded that De Mont allowed the Jesuits to suppose that the
expedition ^as to leave Bordeaux at the end of 1608, in order to be
well tid of them, while at the time arranging to sail from St. Malo.
The same year, under the same monopoly, De Mont sent Cham-
plain with two vessels to Canada. It is possible that the expedition
of Champdor^ was authorized in consideration of receiving a portion
of the profits.
But before speaking of the voyage, it will be necessary to state
what is known concerning Pierre Angibout, as in the future he must
take rank with the worthies, who, amidst perils and privations,
labored to achieve the conquest of the wilderness of New England.
In Champlain's narrative, Champdor^ is traduced and denied his
proper place, owing clearly to the jealousy excited by his merits.
Champlain says that he was a good carpenter ; but he must have
been something more, in order to hold his place as pilot and navigator
for a period of three years, and to be entrusted with an independent
expedition in the fourth. Champlain, perhaps, felt that his appoint-
ment, after a long trial, to this responsible post, formed a sarcasm
upon his attempts to cheapen Cbanipdor^^s merits, and he does not
allude either to his appointment or his voyage. Lescarbot, however,
recognizes Champdor^'s services, also addressing a sonnet to him,
as Pierre Angihaut dit Champ-dore Capitaine de Marine en la
Nouvelle France,^
In describing the buildings at St. Croix, Lescarbot speaks of the
abodes of " Sires d'Orville> Chaplain, Champdor6, and other
notable personages." Again, in speaking of those whom De Mont
left behind at Port Royal to pass the winter of 1605-6, he mentions
Monsieur Champlain and Monsieur Champdor^, the one for
geography and the other for the conducting and guiding the
voyages.!
The position of Champdor^ while attached to the colony was
clearly defined ; and though at times the geographer was obliged to
recognize the pilot's capacity, he nevertheless seeks every occasion
• On this question, see Relations des Jiauites, Vol. I. p. 2,5; Shea's "Charlevoix," Vol.
I. p. 260; and Parkman's *' Pioneers," Chapters V. and VI. The Unguenots fought the

to detract from hia merit, and to set down every dieaeter to hie credit.
At the instance of Poutrincourt, Champdorc was on one occasion
placed under arrest, having been charged with the wilful destnictioii
of the shallop, which, in 1606, unfortunately struck upon the rocks
at Port Hoyal, though they were glad to release him and secure the
benefit of his i^kilL*
Champlain vente his spleen in paragraphs like this : " AVe came
near being wrecked on a rocky islet, on account of Chanapdor^'a
usual obstinacy."
Lescarbot was probably indebted to Chanipdor^ for portions of
the naatcrial used in describing the voyages of 1604, '5 and '6, as he
did not go in person further south than Grand Menan, On more
than one occasion he refers to Oiampdorc as an informant.
The voyage of Cham|>dore^ is mentioned in three editions of Lefl-
carbot's Nouvtlh France^ though the edition of 1609 tbrms the
real authority. f The succeeding editions omit that part of the
norrrative found in chapter iv. of the edition of 160f>, evidently to
avoid going over the same suliject twice. The portion omitted in
the two succeeding editions is very interesting.
Lescarbot says, first, that the colonists, returning to France in the
autumn of lf>07, brought samples of the products of the country,
Buch as com, wheat, rye and barley, and presented tliera to the
King. Poutrincourt, as a special offering, presented some tame
''Outards" or geese, which he had ''taken from the shell." They
pleased the King, and were at once domiciled in the beautiful ponda
of Fontainbleu. The reports made appear to have encouraged hia
Majesty ; and Lescnrbot is correct in saying that at this time, ''upon
a fair exhibition of the fruits of the said country, the King confirmed
to Monsieur De ^Font the privilege fur the trade in beavers with the
s»vagcs,"J and that this, in connection with the general encourage-
ment which the prospect afforded, led to the attempt in 1608.
Lescarbot states that the King acted with direct reference to the eeta^J-
lishment uf colonics, and, writing in lOUD, says : '* By this occasion
he [De Mont] sent thither in March last families to begin the Chris-
tian and French Commonwealth there, wluch God grant to bless in
increase."

[April,
The statement that " families ** were sent out ia very aignificant,
showing that the French saw distinctly the true policy to be pur-
Bue<1, and that they entertained the project of permanent homea.
Of tlie experience of these ** families " we, at present, have no
particular knowledge* Nevertheless a glimpse is given of the con-
dition of Acadia after the terrible winter which had frozen the spirits
of Fopham's men, but which the French happily escaped. They
found the nrrain which had been sown the previous year in a flour-
ishing condition » and the faithful old savage, Merabertou, with his
dusky followers, ready to extend a cordial welcome. It is not clear,
however, that Champdort^ and his colonists remained in New France
during the winter of 1608-9. Perhaps the account of the severity
of the previous winter dampened their ardor and hastened their re-
turn, notwithstanding they had brought out what are called
*' families."
Lescarbot mentions Champdor6*8 return, and says :
" The said ship, being returned, we have had report by Monsieur de
Champtiore, and others, of the condition of the country we h/id lett, and
of the wouderful beauty of the corn that the said Monsieur de Poutrincourt
had sown before his departure, together with the grains that have fallen in
the gardens which have grown incredibly. Memberton gatliered six or
seven barrels of the corn that we had sown, aod still had one left, which
he reserved for the French whom he expected. When it was charged that
be had eaten our pigeons which we had left there, he fell to weeping, and
embmclng htm that told him, said it svas the Macharoa, that is, the great
birds called Eagles, which eat many of them while we were there. Besides
all great and small inquired how we were, naming each by his own name,
which is a proof of great love.*'
On other points Lescarbot gives interesting information, and says
that Champdor6 extended his observation as far as Saco, or
" Chouakouet." He also visited the Saint Johns River. He says :
'* This river is one of the fairest that may be seen, having many islands
and abounding in fish. This last year, 1608, the said Monsieur de Champ-
dor^^ with one of the said De Mont's men, has been some fifty leagues up
the said river, iind testify that there is a great quantity of vines alojig the
shore, though the grapes are not so large as iu the country of Armou-
chiquois. There are also onions and many other good herbs. As regards
the trees, they are the finest to be seen. When we were there we saw a
great number of cedar trees. In regard to the fish Champdor^ has told us,
that, putting the kettle over the fire, they had taken fish enough for dinner
before the water was hot. Besides, this river, stretching as it does far
within the laud of the savages, greatly shortens the long journeys."
The modem tourist who ascends this stream will justify Ch&mp-
dore's praise.
Cbampdor^ then descended the river, and sailed aouthward, visit-
ing for the fourth time the wild coast of Maine. Lescarbot writes ;
'* The said Champdore went as far as Chouakouet, the beginning of the
Armouchiquois land, where he reconciled that tribe with the Etechemins,

which was not doBe without Bolemnitj. For as he began to speak of it the
captive, named Asticou, who is oow in the place of Olmechin,* a grave roan
of goo<lly presence* howsoever savag^e he may be, demande^i that some one
of the Etccheninis should be Kent to him, and that he would treat with him.
Oagimoiit, Sagamore of the 8l Croix River, was eelected for that purpose,
though he would not trust iheru; but under the safe conduct of the Freoch,
he went thither. Some presents were made to Astieou, who, upon the
speech of y>eac©, began to exhort hiB people and to show them the reasona
which should induce them to listen to it* Whereupon they agreed, making
an assent to each article proposed to them. Some Hye yearsf ago Monsieur
de Moot had also arranged a peace between those people, and declared
UDto them that he would be the enemy to the tirst one that should com-
mence war, and would pursue him. But after his return into F'rance they
could not maintain the peace. And the Armouchiquoia killed a Sourequoia
salvage named Panoiiiac, who weot to them in order to traiie iu merchan-
dise, which he obtained at the store house of the said de Mont, The war
above mentioned broke out on account of this murder, under the leadership
of Sagamore Membertou ; the said war was carried on ir» the same place
now mentioned where Monsieur de Champdore treated the peace in this
year. Monsieur Champlain is iu another place, that is, in the great River
of Canada, near the place where Captain Jaques Cartier wintered, where
he has fortified himself."
In dosing, Lescarbot says :
"As regards Monsieur de Pout rincourt, his desire is unchangeable to
colonize and build up his Province, to bring thither his family, and all kinds
of trades necessary for the existence of man \ which, with God's help, he
will continue to do, throughout the present year, 1 609 ; J and as long as he
has health and strength^ will prosecute the same, to live there under the
King's obedience."
It 16 perhaps due to Champdor*^, in the absence of the details of
hia life, that we should give the Sonnet which Lescarbot wrote in
hia praise j especially as it fortns an oifset to the envious criticiara of
Cbampluin, who, aa the geographer, found a rival in Champdor^
the navigator. Ijescarbot, the witty lawyer, was evidently on the
best of terms with the Pilot, and they doubtless enjoyed together good
dinners and tnerry evenings in Acadia, wlien Lescarbot fe»8ted
royally, after the fashion of his brother of the Bar, Thomas Morton,
of Merry Mount, wearing the Collar of the Order of the Bon Temps,
In this Sonnet the Parisian Advocate beatows his prui^^e with the
liberality that marked Chamjdain's bknie ; and the neglect of re-
nowned characters of antiquity is somewhat explained by the devotion
exhibited to the overshadowing renown of Pierre Angibout.
* Tbl« ftfipeori to be an error. Asticou was a Penobscot chief, and appears to have itie>
ceeded Basbaba.

WOODHULL ENTRIES FROM THE PARISH REGISTER OF

Commniikated by Bum Kino* Btq., of Yonken. N. Y.
While in England in 1882, 1 visited the PariBh of Mollington,
and copied from the Church Register the Woodhull entries given
below.
The late Col. Joseph L. Chester had collected considerable ma*
terial relating to the Woodhull family, including many extracts
from the MoUington Register ; these have been carefully compared
with my own, and where any difference of reading occurs it is noted.
I found the Register so time-worn in many places as to be almost
illegible. Col. Chester's Woodhull papers are now in possession of

WAsatNaTON Notes*
It was announced on the cover of the January Register that the will of CoL
John Washington, the eml|?nmt ancestor of i'reaideut Washington, had been
rectully fuuncl. Both the orig^inal will and the original record of it were found
at about the same time in different places. Mr. Moncurc D. Conway of New York
city, in a commiimcation to the New Yorlt Nation^ Oct. 24, 1889, says: "The
Rev. E. C. McGuire writing in 1836 says that the wlE was then at Mount Vernon **
(see Hs<ST8TER, Tol. i3, page 79), and he snggested that search be made among
them. It was among these Mount Vernon papers presen'ed by Mr. Lawrence
Washingrton of Alexandria, which last winter were temporarily deposited in the
National Museum at Washington, D. C, that the curator of the Museum, Mr.
A. Howard Claris, discovered the original ivill. The papers were withdrawn
from the Museum in Febniary last, to be sold at auction. Joseph M, Toner,
M.D.t of Washington, has made an exact copy of this will from the original.
The wills of Lawrence Washington the emig:rant, brother of Col. John;
of Lawrence Washington, son of John the emigrant ; of Augustine Washing-
ton, tiou of the precetllug and father of the general; and of I^wrenc«
Washington, the general's half brother, are also eitant and Dr. Toner
has copies of them. The five wills are promised to us by him for the
neit number of the Rkqister. The will of Augustine has never been printed.
There is, as part of the same record, a copy of the Deed of Roger Gregory and
Ills wife Mildred (Waahlngton) Gregory— aunt and god-mother of George, — ^ta
Augustine Washington, her brother, of the Little Bunting Creeke, now Mount
Vernon, Estate wmch she inherited from her fatlier Lawrence Washington, son
of John the emigrant. The recitals in this deed to Mildred's brother Augustine
the father of George, makes clear the kinship of the WasMngtoiis aad adso tho

The record of the will was discovered, about the same time as the will itself, bj
Mr. J. Warren Hutt. clerk of the county court of Westmoreland^ Va*, in his office.
Mr. Isaac J. Greenwood caused searches to Ije made in this oflBce in 1S7S and la
1889, and Mr. Conway made a search there personally in the latter year. They
were ali nnsnccessful. But the search was not al>andoned, and in Decemher,
1890, the old ori^jiuai record book of Westmoreland county, embracing the pro-
ceedings of the courtft, patents, assignments of patcnis, deeds, liduciary acts,
depositions, etc., after having been thrown aside, was accidentally discovered.
In thJs volume the will of Col. John Washington was entered. Mr. Hutt
promptly notitJed Messrs. Conway and Greenwood of the discover)^, and sent
them copies of the will. Mr. Conway had the will printed in the^iVrtfion for
Dec. 18, 18^0, and Mr. Greenwood sent his copy to the editor of the Registkr.
The record la much mutilated, and there are many breaks in the copies furnished
by the clerk. It was no duubt from this record that Bishop Meade got his brief
notes of the will, which he says was much mutilated. The original will^ for-
tanately, can all be made ont.
Mr. Conway has written an article on the Washington family for Harper's
Magazine, which will appear in the May number. It will be richly illustrated,
Tlie author visited England last year and collected ranch interesting material.
His personal researches have resulted in finding important evidence in favor of
Mr. Waters's theory, which will appear in his article. We shall lay It before our
readers in our Jnly number. Mr. Conway's article cannot fail to be interesting
and trustworthy.
Mr. James Greenstreet has contrlbnted to "The Genealogist" for January,
1891, page U5-7, an article entitled *' The Ancestry of General Washington,"
in which he makes known to ns some of the unpublished discoveries of Col.
Chester, relating to the ancestry of Washiniertou. Mr. Waters will print this
article in the next number of his Gleanings. Mr. Whitraore expressed the feel*
Ings of Col. Chester's American friends, when he wrote In the Rbwister for
October, 1889 (vol. 43, page *24), in his annotations of Mr. Waters's article:
** Every one will regret that Col. Chester did not have the good fortune to
bring to a successful conclusion the investigation which he pursued for so many
years."— Eduob.

Ik the January Number of the Register, p. 41, I notice Mr. Greenwood's
notes on the Baffin Family. I send you the references at which he will find
farther infonnation. In Jewett*a Reliquary. Vol, xlv. 236, are several monu-
mental inscriptions to the family. In Somersetshire Wills, printed by F. A,
Crisp, 2d series, 25» will be ftmnd the wills of Hugh and Edward Saffyn, dated
In 1594 and 1620, and a furtlier note of Hugh in 3d series, 30. A pediifrce of
the later Safflns, who removed into Gloucewtorslilrc, is entered in tlie Visitation
of Gloucestershire, edited by Feowick and Metcalfe, p. 151 . It Is as well to note
that in the first generation of this, the word ** Bicknell" should be ''Bick-
noller," and that the editors' Ignorance of local place names has led them Into
stating that *' Wycomb" stands for *' Wythecombe/' whereas it Is only the old
form of spelling ** Weacombe," a place in the parish of West Quantouhead
which adjoins Bicknoller.
Mr. Greenwood states, p. 42, that ♦•Woolverston In com. Som.*Ms " a place
located on the Frome, just south of Philips Norton.** He has jumped to con-
clusions after the manner of Messrs. Fenwick and Metcalfe. It really stjinds
for Wolston, which Is a hamkt In the Parish of Bicknoller. Brampton Half,
In a subseciuent line, should be Brompton Ralph.
An examination of the Registers of Bicknoller and Stogumber, and other
places in the district, and of the wills at Taunton, would probably enable any
intelligent genealogist to work out a tolerably complete pedigree.

AvEBY AND WiGGLESWORTH {Savage, vol. 1, p. 82; toI. 4, p. 542). — In an
article contributed by me to the Hiitorical Magazine for September, 1S62, vol. 6,
pages 280-90, I called attention to an error of Mr. Savage In the date of the
death of Dr. Jonathan Avery of Dedham, which he gives as Sept. 14, 1G94.
This date b at leaat three years too late. It is true that the Dedham records
contain the death of a Jonathan Avery on that day, bat, nnless there be an error
in the year, a different person must be intended. In the Suffolk Probate Registry
Is found the will of ** Jona. Avery Practitioner in Physic & aged abont thirty-
five/' dated Feb. IS, 1689, and proved May 27, 1691, showing that he was dead
at the la.*it date. The will names wife Sybil, daughters Sybil. Margaret and
Dorothy and brother William Avery. It is probable from the letter of the Kev.
Michael Wiggleswortb to Mrs. Sybil Avery, Feb, 11, 1690-91 , printed In th©
Rrgistkr, vol. 17, page 139, that her first husband. Dr. Avery, was dead in
October, 1690. Mrs. Avery's second husband was the above Rev. Mr. Wiggles-
worth, but the date of their marriage was not then known. The error of Mr,
Savage in relation to the death of Dr. Avery led hiio to express a doubt as to
whether Prof. Edward Wigglesworth, D.D. , born in 1092 or 1693, was not a
son of Mr. WiggIesworth*s Hecond wife, Martha, instead of being, a.** had been
stated, the son of his la^t wife Sybil. I called attention to the fact that the
8«cond wife of Mr. Wigglesworth died Sept. 4, 1690, so that Edward could aot
have been her son.
Since my article was printed in the Historkal Magazine I have found the exact
date of the Rt^v. Mr. Wigglesworth** last marriage, showing clearly that Edward
was a child of tliis raardage. A manuscript volume of historical and genea-
logical matter n^atinp to Braintree and Quincy, collected for the New-England
Historic Genealogicai Society by the late Hon. Jonathan Marsh of Quincy, con-
tains a record of marriages by the Rev. Moses Fiske of Braintree. On page 234
win be found this marriage entry: "vMlch&el Wiggleswonh of Maiden and
Lyditt Avery of Dedham, June 23, 1691."
Lydia is evidently an error for Sybil. I have not found the precise date of
their sou Edward's birth. He died January 16, 17G5, in his 7M year, conse-
quently he was born between Jan. 16, 1691-2, and Jan. 16, 1692-3. Can any one
furubh the exact date of his birth? Jobjs W. Dean.

For two years and more, historical students have been looking with eager
expectation for the appearance of the Genesis of the United States, by Alejcan-
der Brown of the Virjyrinia Historical Society, a work, which it was understood
would contain rare manuscripts discovered in the Archives of Simancas, relating
to the early history of the Eogliah occupation of North AraericA.
This work has at last apptiared, and justifies the expectations of those who
are Interested in this fascinating subject, upon which so much U^ht has recently
been thrown by the publication of oiiglnal documents by painstaking hlstorlana.

the beglnniBgs of American History I The great historian set an example to
the historians of his day, by collecting from every accessible source original
documents as the foundation upon which to rear his w^orlc. a ad now students
demand the poi)Ucatlon, verbaiim et literatim, of the documents themselves, that
they may fonn tlieir own conclusions and not take them at second hand.
The (locum eats which Mr. Brown presents \\b \n his Genesis of the United
^totes, comprise letters from the representatiTcs of the Spanish govt?rnment at
Ihb Court of Jatne.s the First, with replies to them, and documents snrreptl-
^onaly obtained by these representatives in London, the want of which haa left
a serious gap in the British Archives. The study of these documents reveals a
curious condition of atl^irs at tlie English Court. Spain, Jealous of the attempts
of her English rivals to found colonies iu the New World, xvat* watehhig every
movement with eager attention. Her wily agenta in London were gathering
every scrap of news from returning mariners and a<] venturers, and such infor-
mation as they coukl, r*flative to culonial undertakiugs, from the King aud Court,
and poHting them to Madrid without delay. If a map or document of any kind
could be purclmsed or secured by the wily SpaoianL it was fonvardt^d with
comments upon it to the Spaniiih King, who was urged to take measures to
thwart the efforts of England to found colonleft, by attackhig and destroying the
colonists, whom Spanish writers aasmred Philip, the English King declared he
woold uut protect.
Besides the interesting documents from Spanish Archives in these two elegant
volumes. Mr. Brown has given us extracts from, and an account of, rare con-
temporaneous publicaMous of the period of which he treats, and a mass of
biographical matter of great value relating to the men who took part in the
momentous drama then beirig enacted. Doubtlei?iH the author's view of Captain
John Smith wVA not be readily adopted by those who have been wont to regard
him as a hero; but while we are iu duty bonnd to award him all the praise that
belongs to a daring adventurer, we should always reTuember tliat the marvellous
achievements of which he is the hero, rest almost wholly upon his own evidence,
and that a great deal of the history of American colonization iu Smith's time
has hitherto been inaccessible. Smith was unmistalcably a boaster, aud has had
a too prominent place in our history. Some Virginian writers have extolled
htm beyond reason, and it Is well that a Vlrgiuian has taken the lead in placing
him in a truer light.
Mr. Brown is perhaps too tender in his treatment of James Stuart, a man of
mean nature; cunning, secretive, penurions, and. If we may believe abundant
evidence, an arraut coward- His treatment of Raleigh should forever condemn
him In our estimation, certainly uotk'ss In the estimation of Virginians, and the
documents In the Genesis are not calculated to increase our atlmi ration of him ;
however^ perhaps we should contrast him with some of his brother Kings,
before and since his day, among whom he does not appear to disadvantage.
Certainly we must admit that colonization prospered during Ms reign, though
we may be iDcllned to add, in spite of him.
To New Euglaud readers, the discovery of the plan of the Popham Fort and
the map of the coast at that early |daie, is an event of no little Interest, and
these two plans alone are worth to them tlie price of the work. It is uoneces-
awry to apeak of the mechanical excellence of these two sumptuous volumes, as
the name of the publi^iliers is KiiOlelent guarantee of this i but we may express
our admiration of the beautiful hcliotjT)es, over one hundred in number, which
adorn them. They are certainly the dnest whicli have thus far been Issued.
Without doubt every book collector and student of history will not fall to
obtain this work to add to his collection, which would be seriously incomplete
without it.

This elegant volume Is the result of a vast amount of patient and exhaustive
Ztsearcb. The main work has been done by three careful and experienced
genealogists. The English researches have been conducted by the Rev, Augus-
tus Jessopp, D.D., rector of Seaming in Norfolk, England, who has long held
a high place as an antiquary, and Henry F. Waters, A.M,, whose genealogical
I
gonitis and imporUnt dis^^overles are so well known to onr pe«den. The
American portiont by far the larper part of the ToIume» has been compiled by
Mr. Frank FajuswoVth Starr, of Middletown, Ct, whose prertoiis labors In
■ImUar work well qnallfled him for the undertaking.
Mr. Goodwin In a brief preface j^ves an account of the origin of the work
and the assistance rendered by dlfforenl persons in working ont the problenw.
We hare flret an article by the Rev. Dr. Jeasopp on •' The Goodwins of £a«l
Anglia.»" to which portion of England the brothers William and Oziast Goodwill
have been traced. The surname has been and is very widely distributed not
only of er England but over most of the northern countries of Europe, and Is to
be met with in very early times. The Rev. Dr. Jessopp's article is exhanstire
of the subject. He finds Groodwlns in East Anglla as early as the fourteenth
century, and he traces, with precision and folness, the history of the famiUea
and prominent tndiridnals which he finds there. He brings his reconi down to
the seventeenth century, when the brothers WiUiam and Oilas left their native
aliores.
Bfr. Waters's *• Report of English Investigations" Is the next article In the
book. His first discovery which located In England the family he was In search
of was in the will of Robert Woodward of Braintrec in Essex, dated May 2T,
1640, in which the testator mentions his daughter Mary, wife of Ozias Good-
win, "now in New-Enghind.** This will he discovered in November. ISSS.
In June, IS87, his contract with the New-England Historic Genealogical Society
having expired, Mr. Goodwin engaged him to make searches for him. '^ It was
agreed upon between us,** says Mr Waters, '' that I was to perform my part of
the quest In the way I had been accustomed to work for years ; i. c. I was to
pursue a mousing method, hunting among wills of others besides Goodwlna,
in the hope to discover the objects of our search by side lights." The field In
Which this work was to be done was indicated by the above discovery. It wa<
while pursuing this general search for Mr. Goodwin that Mr. Waters made his
recent discoveries reUtlve to the parentage and kindred of Roger Williams
and the ancestry of Washington ; and he detllcates his pamphlet on the latter
discovery to Mr, Goodwin, '■ in grateful recognition of his friendship and Ms
Uberallty In supporting these researches." The investigations in East AngUa
famish many reasons for thinking that relatives of the brothers have been
found ther<^ The wtU of Moses Wall of Bralntree, Sept. 1«. 1628, has the
signature of a William Goodwin as a witness. The signature bears a strong re-
aemblaiice to that of Elder William Goodwin, written in New England. It has
certain pccallarities which are found in signatures of EWer Goodwin, and other-
wise bears so stronju a resemblance to them that we cannot resist the belief that
they were ail written by one hand. Fac-sirailes of the autoirrflph attached to
Moses Wall's will and of two known autographs of Elder WlUlara Goodwin are
given by Mr. Water*i, so that the reader can form his own opinion on this ques-
5on. Mr. Waters in his report to Mr. Goodwin says : '* I have preserved more
than twi^ hundred abstracts of wills bearing on your name, found in the Prero-
gative Court of Canterbtinr'. nearly one hundred and Hfty collectt^d hi the Probate
Registry at IpsT\ich, County of Suffolk, nearly fifty found at Norwich, and
thirty or forty gathered from various smaller courts. Besides these 1 have
examined and rejected many others which did not seem to me at the lime worth
the labor retpjired to make notes from them- I have also made a partial exami-
nation of iHquisftioms post mortem. Feet of Fines, Claus Rolls, Subsidy Lists,
Parish Registers and the genealogical manuscripts in the British Museum." A
selection from the material gathered by him Is printed in this volume. The
research is to be continued this year, on Mr. Waters's return to England, and we
hope that his persevering investigation of this subject will be rewarded with
equally satisfactory results as his quests for Williams and Washington.
A Biograpliical Sketch of William Goodwin by Rev. George Leon Walker.
D.D,, of Hartford, follows. Elder Goodwin was *'one of the strong and In-
teresting tlgur<»s discovered through the mists and half lighta of our early New-
England history. . . , The sometimes picturesque and the generally dignified and
important character of the matter he was concerned with, awakens curiosity to
know more of him and something of wonder that not more is known." Rev.
Dr. Walker furnishes an Interesting account of the life of this Connecticut
pioneer. It ia followed with a careful sketch of the other brother, Ozlas Good-
wiot by Charles J. Uoadlj, LL.D., editor of the Colonial Records of Conaectioiit.

We have next Mr. Starr's full g:eiiealogical record of the descendants of William
and OKlaa Goodwin, with some account of other families of Goodwin before the
BeTolution. It Ulls more than six hundred pages of the book. The com-
piler has spared no labor to make this genealogy thorough and complete, and
has been remarkably successful in his efforts. Ue gives full details of the
bioj^rapbj as well as the genealo^ of the scattered members of this familj.
Few, If any, books devoted to the record of a family with such numerons and
widely dispersed branches are ao complete as this. The arranj^ement of the
TCGorda deserves praise. It is simple and easily understood, and by it the
and ancestors of an tndJYklual are easily traced. Mr. Starr fur-
three excellent iudexest fllllng over fifty pages, the tlrst giving the
dtftotSaa naiaea of Goodwins with dates of births, the second the intermar-
rltgM, and the third other surnames. Ue gives us ten tabular pedigrees which
are of great service in showing the relationship of certain iudividuals.
The volume is handsomely printed by the University Press of Cambridge,
and Is embellished by twelve portraits of prominent Goodwins.

In this letter, or rather series of letters, Dr. Hurd presents with ability the
theories antagonistic to state sovereignty. He has studied the subject with
great thoroughneHS, and bases bis arguments upon historic grounds, iiud upon
ipeneral constitutional law. While we are Inclined to traverse some of his
•tatemeDts, and to qnestion his conclusions, we appreciate his candid and
acbolarly treatment of the great problems involved iu the controversy- The
anthor Is familiar with the constitutions of foreign lands, and seeks to strengthen
his position by reasoning that similar principles and interpretatit)ns apply to
the United States. Wc think that while he sees clearly and presents ably the
objections to state sovereignty, he loses sight of the greater and at the preaeut
more threatening dangers of centralization.

cordial hospitality. She wa^ a woman
of such geuitil spirit that she drew a
large circle of friends ahout her, and to

Long after people of her age have re-
tired from active social duties, Mrs.
Waters was not only able, but desirecl
to visit among her friends, to attend to
the affairs of her household, and dis«
pense genial hospitality. She was
young in spirit, though the weight of
years rested upon her. No one can
help recalling with pleasure her cheer-

flowed out so naturally, and made hw
« eentre of attraction for to many years.
She was a home-maker, and no mor«
beftutiful sight have we known than to
see her living under the shelter of her
roof- tree, far beyond fourscore years,
the object of the devoted love of her
sons, the admiration of her neighbors
and friends \ with ability to think and

time of her death she was within a few
days of her seventieth year, having been

she passed away. Upon the death
of her father, which occurred August
27, 1865, she inherited the homestead,
and continued to reside there unin-
terruptedly until her death. In her,
the sentiment of family loyalty was
strongly illustrated. She inherited the

MEMOIK OF HEKKY AUSTIN WHITNEY. A.M.
By JOBIPH CUTIBB WBlTirBT, BSQ., Of MtltOn, M4S8,
HENRY AUSTIN WHITNEY, the only ean of Joseph and
Elknljeth (Pratt) AVhitnej, was bom in the house then numbered
26 Purchase Street, in Bueton, Oct. 6, 1826. On his father's
side he was descended from John Whitney of Isle worth, Coiioty
of Middlesex, England » the progenitor of the Whitney family of
northern New England, who iu 1635 left his native country with his
wife Elinor and five sons and made Watertown in Massactmaetts his
home. He lived and prospered there till his death in 1673, was a
landholder and farmer, selectman from 1638 for a period of seven-
teen years, constable in 1641, and town clerk in 1655. Thomas
in the second generation, who came from England with his father as a
child, continued to live in Watertown and to hold lands there. Ilia
eon Thomas successively held lands and lived in Watertown, Stow,
and that part of Lancaster that afterwards became Bollon. His son
Benjamin, born 1687, held lands in Marlborough, He was an
energetic and enterprising man, and was active during the Indian
disturbances that bore so hard on the scattered frontier settlements
of New England in the early part of the eighteenth century. He
died in 1737, at a time when he was making arrangements to estab-
lish himself in business, in Boston. His widow Abigail (Bridge)
Whitney took up the work where he had left it, however, carried out
the plans that he had formed and engaged successfully in mercantile
affairs in Boston. Their son Samuel, born at Marlborough in 1734^
followed his mother's example, and from 1755 was in business in
Boston with a branch in Salem. When in the year 1767 the depres-
sion that preceded the revolution was felt, he moved to Concord,
bought a farm, and established a store. He took an active part in
the events that led to final separation from the mother country, was a
member of the town Committee of Correspondence and of several
other important Committees, served as a Muster Master when the

town raised minute men, represented Concord in the first provindal
Congress, so called, of 1774-5, and was engaged in the Concord
fight; When Boston was evacuated by the British he sold his fiurm,
returned to town, resumed business again till 1793, and then re-
moved to the part of Massachusetts that is now Oostine, Maine.
His commercial ventures there proved successful, and he died there
in 1808. His son Joseph was bom at Concord 1771. When his
parents moved to Castine he went to Newburjport, where his uncles
Cutler were merchants, and found employment there. The same
year he married Sally, daughter of Elijah and Susanna Collins of
that town. In 1796 his only child Joseph was bom, and in 1799
his wife died. He then moved to Boston, where he soon established
a business that though profitable while he lived to manage it, was so
injured by the embargo acts, that when he died in 1812, at the age
of forty-one, his estate when settled showed nothing over outstanding
obligations, and his son Joseph, Henry Austin Whitney's father,
was left an orphan when sixteen years old — ^^ without a friend in the
world to whom he had a right to look for assistance and nothing to
depend upon for a maintenance but his own exertions," as he
expressed himself in a letter written at the time. His inheritance,
however, was a keen sense of honor, a sound judgment, and an
energetic temperament. Before he reached his majority he had
been admitted as a partner to a business that was sufficiently lucra-
tive to enable him each year to lay aside something for the future.
By his careful management and the most strict integrity he gradually
developed a business of large proportions. His sagacity enabled his
firm to pass through the financial crises of 1837 and 1857, without
their credit being questioned. Those were periods when many com-
mercial houses that had been considered among the strongest were
obliged to suspend payment. He was a thoughtful man, of cultivated
tastes, a constant and careful reader, and was anxious that his chil-
dren, of whom he had but two who lived beyond infancy, should have
every educational advantage. In 1822 he married Elizabeth, the
second daughter of John and Mary (Tewksbury) Pratt. Slie was of
a happy, vivacious temperament, was a model house-keeper of the old
school, and was proud and fond of her husband, as he in turn was
of her. He died at Boston, Sept. 11, 1869.
Henry Whitney's* boyhood was passed in Boston and its neighbor-
hood, and his early education was received at private schools in
Boston in winter, and in country ministers' families and boarding
schools in summer. His parents moved from Purchase Street to 59
High Street in 1831, and in 1838 from there to the house now
numbered 146 Tremont Street. His sister Caroline (now Mrs.
Hezron Ay res Johnson of New York) was three years older than
he, and consequently not so much of a companion as his boy cousins,
♦ He was christened Henry Augustus Whitney, but his name was changed to Henrj
Austin Whitoey by decree of Probate Court, February, 1867.

George Langdon Pratt and Sidney Bartlett, who were near his nge
and were his constant f»lay-fellows« In 1840» with hia cousine and
other Boston buys uf ins own age, he was at Asa Wing*8 well known
boarding ecliool of that duy» at Snndwich. Hie echuol life tfiere as
elsewhere passed happily, and in the autumn of that year he began
to fit for Harvanl Colle»je at Chsiuney-IIall School under Messrs,
Thayer and Gushing, He gave this glimpse of his school life there
when writing in his c1uH8-bnnk at the lime of leaving college : — "1
began to fit for college, joining the class of Cunningham, Ellis, Law-
rence and Stearns of 'our^* [college class J, and to begin fitting was
about all that I think any of us ever did. Lawrence's besetting sin
was his bad habit of looking at noted during recitations; Cunning-
ham was frequently taken to task for warbling Ethiopian melodies ;
Stearns having luin'X the teachers in effisxv from the ceilin;^ hv means
of spit-balls, was threatened with expukion ; and we all, as I
remember, had a propensity for attending auctions during school
hours. With the exception of a few exciting inciilents of this nature
all went smoothly until the time of our entering the Univcr/ity in
1842, which good fortune, rather than proper attainments, enabled
us to do."
In college he was a general favorite with his classmates, as his
temperament and characteri.-stics were such as to win for Intn not
only the good will of all with whom he came in contact, but more
than this, the esteem and friendi^hip of many. In »ifter life he
nnmbcretl his college friends among his closest friends. He was
Krokodeilos of the Hrtsty Pudding Chib, a member of the Porcellian
Club, and of the Phi Beta Kappa, President of the Pierian Sodality,
and Chief Marshid of his class on Commencement Day. He was also
one of several who in 1844 formed the first college boat club, and
one of those who toi>k part in the last annual parade of tlic Navy
Club, He was at one time suspended for holding office in a society,
6ome members of which created a disturbance in which he did not
participate ; and, while he had his ^hare in many college pranks, they
were in the main harmless fun and the result of exul>eraiU spirits
and a quick wit. One that he always laughed over nnd that iw in-
dicative of others, was when a classmate was suspended, as his friends
thought unjustly. At the time appointed for the unfortunate to
leave Cambridge, a barouclie drawn by four horses and accompanied
by f«r>ur outriders in tall bats and white trousers drove into the Col-
lege yard. The hero of the day was presented with a pair of white
kid gloves, which he accepted with great dignity and then seated
himself in the barouche. The scene was most ludici^ous, and of
course the parti<'ipants missed no opportunity to make it more so.
Finally, cheered by the students and jeered by the townspeople,
the barouche and its escort dashed oflf for Boston. Owing to the
inporiance of the occasiion they neglected to pay toll at the bridge,
and finally brought up at the Trcmont House. Henry Whitney

was one of the outriders on this occasion, and wlule he probablj
was not the sole originator of this prank, doubtless like ^neaa : —

A memorandum made by his fiither in his sophomore year shows
what impressed an older person as important features in his career at
the time : — ^ During the winter vacation Henry has been required to
study Latin and recite twice a week to Mr. Gushing to make up
deficiencies. By his own request he has been excused from the study
of mathematics. His great fault is wasting his time attending to
too many things, the want of a fixed purpose, of fixed attention, of
some regular system. Last vacation he took lessons on the flute
and is doing so again this vacation ."
In his summer vacation in 1844 his ideas were broadened by Ms first
extended journey. This was made in company with his classmate
T. Bigelow Lawrence and an older gentleman who acted as mentor*
They visited the principal Western Cities where they had letters to
and met many people. They also visited the Mammoth Gave, G^.
Jackson at the Hermitage, the Mormon Temple at Nauvoo, the
Falls of St. Anthony, and returned home by way of the great lakes
and Niagara.
He graduated from Harvard Gollege in the famous class of 1846,
that has on its rolls the names of many distioguished men, and while
his college course was not productive of high rank in scholarship, it
was doubtless the chief influence that acted to call into existence a
strong literary taste. Throughout life, literature was to him all that
Cicero claimed for it when he said, ^Hcec atudia adolescentiam alunt,
senectutem ohlectant^ secundas res omanty adversis solatium ac
perfugium prcebent, delectant domi, non imped iunt forts y pernoc-
tant nohiscumy peregrinantur, rusticantur : " — For, trained to be-
come familiar with books in his youth, they were a source of pleasure
to him as the years rolled by. His familiarity with authors added
much to his personal attractions in prosperity, and when dark days
came to his home gave a refuge and solace that otherwise he would
not have had. At home literature was a pleasure to him, while in
business transactions it in no wise hampered him. Many a night he
passed reading and writing, and when travelling he often turned
aside from the beaten track to visit some literary man, or some spot
that was usually unfrequented by travellers, but was connected in
his mind with some noteworthy incident familiar to him from his
reading. In the country, too, as elsewhere, his books were never
far from him.
On leaving college, influenced perhaps by hereditary tendency,
doubtless by his father's success, he chose a mercantile career rather
than a professional one. He got his first insight of a mercantile life
as clerk in a dry goods house, where he was for two years after leaving
college. He next became a clerk with his father's firm, the house of
Joseph Whitney & Co., which manufactured men's boots and brogans

in several New Encrland towns, and Boltl them in the south and south-
west* lu 1849 he waa admitted a partner in tlie firm. AfttT his
father retired frum business, at the close of the year l^GG, he con-
tinued with the remainin*^ partners under the firm name of James L.
Gorham tO; Co. till 1872, when the firm was dissolved. Up to the
time of the rebellion the bueiness was very guccessful, but that
Cftuscd them to make heavy losses. They lost not only through the
total repudiation of dt?hta by almost all of their uustomers in the
slave statee, who in common witli the opinion generally prevalent in
the south, looked upon secession as eomethini^f that justified the
repudiation of all northern debts ; but they also lost by the market
being taken from them whvre most of their sales had previously been
made*. From this blow they soon recovered, however; they found
new markets, and were agniu successful. But competition gradually
became close, business methods changed and new ones came into
vogue among their comjjetitors that to them seemed neither wise nor
prudent. As a result tlie copartnership wjis dissolved and at an
extremely fortunate time; for the great fire of 1872 and the financial
crisis of 1873 both followed within two years.
In 1852 Mr. Whitney was married to Fanny Lawrence (chris-
tened Mary Frances), the youngest daughter of William Lawrence,
a well known and respected Boston merchant who hnd died four
years previously, and his wife Susan liuggles (Bordmnn) Lawrence.
Fanny Lawrence, as she waa always culled, and which name she
assumed when married, was born in Bulfiiich Street, Boston, Aug.
19, 1828, By the removal of her family to 150 Tremont Street, the
young people became neighbors and an intimacy ripening into affec-
tion gradually grew between them. They were married by the Rev.
Samuel K. Lothrup, D.D,, March 3, 1852, Their marriage was
in all respects a happy one. She was an affectionate wife, a devoted
mother to the six children that were born to them, and was* his con-
stant companion at home and on most of hia journeys whetlier
of business i^r pleasure. For fifteen years their happiness was
unclouded, but in the autumn of 18G6, Oct. 23, they lost their
eldest son, Henry Lawrence, by a fatal gunning accident. He waa
a bright, promising boy of thirteen, and his death threw a dark
shadow for a time over the household.
To (?peak more in detail of the literary tastes already refeiTcd to :
Mr. W^hitney was aKvays an extensive reader. He read on all sub-
jects, rapidly, thoroughly, and remembered what he read. At one
time the study of Milton *8 writings absorbed his attention, and he
made a fine collection of various editions of Milton, und works
bearing on this subject. The authorship of the Junius Letters was
a question he often puzzled over and never wearied in discussing.
His interest in this question was first aroused by its being given as
the subject for a theme, when he was in college. Massachusetts and
New England history and biogniphy were subjects in which he

Febrt "e was elected a member of the New-Eogland

as one the Committee of Publicutions of three volumes of
'* Proceed ingi,*' and as one of the Committee on Memorials of the
Bebcllion. In 1863 he was admitted a member of the Princ©
Society. The following is a list of his publications :

He waa also one of the committee that prepared the volume " In Com-
memoration of llie one hundred and twenty-fifth Anniversary of St. Andrew's

His library was nn excellent one. He became the owner of some
Bve thousand well selected volumeg ami, except bis Miltons, ho
aimed in collecting to secure booka fur the sake of their subject mat-
ter rather thiin becsiuse they were rare editions. To such historical
works as were meritorious, but not (»f a aufiiciently popular cburACter

summers before 181)4. In that year he took the hout«c that he bad
previously lived in there, on a lonjr lease, and in 1870 be became a
legal resident of the town. In 1H1>5 and subsequently he became
the owner of about one himdred and fifty acres of land tm and near
Brush HilU nnd in 18S2 first occu|Med a large and handsome bouse
that he had built for liimself on this place. There ho passed two
winters previously to uccupyiug, a few months before his death, hia
new city bouse at 2GI Marlborougfi Street, that he had taken much
pleasure in building.
He was fond of his country life and the freedom it gave, and
enjoyed walking and driving, He was a lover of nature and in
arboriculture took much pleasure. He liked to wander among his
trees, to watch their growtli, to give directions about planting new
or trimming old ones, and would himself lop any de-id bramhes or
offensive sprouts that be could reach. Hia especial care was for two
chestnut trees that he, bis wife, and children planled from seed a
few days before the death of his eldest son. Before his own death
they had grown to be tall nnd vigorous young trees.

In 1874 he was chosen President of the Suffolk National Bank
and tierved till Feb. 15, 1876, when, thou^di be remained a director
till be died, he resigned n& President, to accept the Presidency
of the Boston (S; Providence Railroad to which he had been elected.
His previous connection with the Baltimore Steamship Company had
made him familiar with the business of transportation, but what was
fully as important, he had a clear head for finance. The previous
year during an eight months absence in Europe of Gov. Clifford,
who was then President of the railroad, he had acted for him ; so
that, when chosen, he was well qualified to assume the duties of the
oflfice. He remained President of the company till his death.
While in general his management of its affairs was marked by con-
servatism, the stockholders' interests were cared for and guarded
with an eye to the future equally with the present ; the policy toward
the travelling public was liberal and satisfactory ; and except for the
unfortunate accident at the South Street bridge, the company was
prosperous and unusually free from accidents. When he became
President of the road the stock was selling at 145, and at the time of
his death was selling on a basis of 292.* Meanwhile the stockholders
had received dividends of from six to ten dollars per share in each
year.
Besides the associations and business enterprises already referred

1801.] Henry Austin Whitney, ^^^^^ 183
to, he was connected with various other fcusiness, literary, benevolent,
and social corporations and associations. At various times he served
as Trustee of the ^lassachusetts General Hospital, Secretary of the
Boston Dispensary, Director of tlie Detroit, Lansing and Northern
Hailroad, Director of the North American Insurance Co., and in
1862, when Dr. Hill was inaugurated as President of Harvard Col-
lege, he was Chief Marshal. At the time of his death he was Vice
President of the Humane Society of Massachusetts, member of the
Massachusetts Charitable Fire Association, Past Master of St.
Andrew's Lodge of Freeraasons (his grandfather Joseph Whitney
became a member of this lodge in 171)4), Director of the Boylston
Insurance Co. , Director of the Boston and Koxbury Mill Corporation,
Trustee of the Harvard College Loan Fund, Secretary of his college
class, an oifice that he had filled sinc^ 1852 in a manner most
acceptable to his classmates, and was a member of several social
clubs.
In politics Mr. Whitney was a whig, and afterwards a republican,
though in 1860 he cast his vote for the Bell and Everett electors, in
the belief that there was a way out of the political troubles of that
time other than war. His sympathies ^ot the negro race were strong,
and he said his blood boiled when ho saw the fugitive ehive Burns
marched down State Street to be returned to slavery : but he had no
sympathy with the abolitionists of the period preceding the war, and
regarded them in much the same light as he did secessionists. His
Tiews 80 an emancipationist were practical, however, as this Olustra^
tion shows. He clianced to have in his employ in 1859 a mulatto
who had gained his freedom, but who had left an only son in Nor-
folk, Virginia, where he was held a slave. Mr. Whitney made an
arrangement with the father by which he was to buy the boy, and
ten dollars a month was to be deducted from the father's wages till
the cost was repaid. He made the purchase, paid four hundred
dollars and received his bill of sale for "one mulatto boy," and a
regular bill of lading for him, when he was shipped to Boston by
Bteamer, as though he had been a barrel of oysters. The father
kept his part of the bargain and worked well and faithfully till more
than half of the cost was repaid, when the balance was given to him.
With the outbreak of the rebellion Mr. Whitney became a firm
supporter of the government and his inclinations were to take an
active part in the struggle, but he yielded to his wife's entreaties and
staid by his family.
He never held political office, but often exerted himself in political
movements in favor of measures that he thought right, and never
neglected his duty at the ballot box. Pcrliaps the only exception
was his neglecting to vote for presidential electors in 1884.
In religion he was a Unitarian and Christian in the broadest
sense. Discarding dogmas, he loved his fellow-men and walked up*
rightly among them, doing to others as he would be done by. In
184 Henry Austin Whitney. [J^tyf
fact lie w»s fi g-cntlctnan in the fullest senee of tlie word, Ai a boy
and young mnn he went with \m [jarents to the Federal St. Church*
After his marn«t;fe he became a member of the "Church iind Society
in Bnittle 8(|iiiirc," and when tliat CDngrej^^ation diiper^sed he became
n pew holder in the ITnitanan Church at Milton, He ehowed hie
independence of character m religious matters at the time he was
graduating from college as he dtd in all matters where he thought it
right, by positively refusing Dr, Gunnett when he asked him in the
presence of his father to become a teacher in the Sunday school.
When asked his reason for refusing he frankly admitted that he did
not beheve in Sunday schools, as he thou*^ht that children had
enough school in the rest of the week and that they should not ha
obliged to hurry away from home on Sunday morning. Hi^ father
afterwards asked him ajs a favor to do as Dr. Gannett asked, and in
deference to his father's wishes he served for a time aa a teacher in
the Federal Street Church Sunday School,
While he was a public-epirited citizen and a Hberal giver, he dia-
liked any public notice of hhneelfand never epoke in public meet-
ings, except where circumstances in connection with businees matters
made it necessary for him to do so* As a conversationalist he in-
vann!>ly appeared to advanta;ie, and as his manners were naturally
affable and courteous and he had a fine seoae of humor, his society
l?aa in constant demand among the many in his native city who
appreciated these qualities. Hospitable and cordial in his greeting,
his friends always met with a warm welcome at his home, whether
they came by previous invitation or dropped in upon him by chance,
and many are the recollections that remain of pleasant hours passed
in his company. His friends and social acquaintances were numer-
ous, and with young people he was always a favorite. At the time
of his death Mr. George B. Chase, in addressing the Massachusetts
Historical Society, said : —
"The kind attention he showed to children was but one indication
of a rare sweetness of disposition. To young men he was always attractive
for the ready sympathy and generous recognition he showed when they
came to him for assistance or friendly advice. • ♦ ♦ Yet, after all, it was
his simple, generous nature, his manly and honorable life — adorned with so
many graces of manner and of deed, of pleasant wit, of kind thought and
friendly counsel — that will cause the great number who called him friend,
long to mourn his loss, and always to keep his memory green in their
hearts."
Mr. Whitney was about the average height, erect in his carriage,
quick in his movements, and walked with an active step. Whether
driving or walking he would constantly stop to exchange a friendly
word with passing acquaintances.
As has already been said his family relations were extremely
happy. His father lived to a mature age to die highly respected
after he had accomplished a good life's work, and his mother sur-

vived him. He lived to see both a son and a daughter happily
married and to have two grandchildren near him. But the year
1883 had brought a terrible blow to him in the loss of his wife.
lVL-8. Whitney died at their city home January 28, 1883, and though
she left with her husband and children those fiuppy memories of kind
words and loving care that death fortunately cannot destroy, the
companion of over thirty yeara was <>one and the home was changed.
Connected with the life of Mr. "SMutney tliere were few if any
episodes of general public interest. Like hie ancestors he bore hia
part as one of the many in the community in which his lot was cast,
reputably and industriously ; and both ag a private citizen and while
filling the jsemi-public offices to which he was called he worked for
the common good. A man above the average in intelligence and
refinement, who exerts bis influence to secure conscientious and
honest management and stamps with bis character extended business
affairs, as be did, leaves an impression for good not alone on the
many wMth whom he comes directly in contact, but also on the
community to whicii the example of iairness and bouej^ty is given,
Jicspected by hia business associates as a man of liberal ideas,
sound judgment, and upright business methods ; esteemed by hifl
friends as a good friend in adversity us well as in prosperity ; loved
by his wife and children as a husband and f^ithcr wliose thoughts
were constantly of his home and how he might make it bright aud
cheerful ; and l>lessed by many whom he had at one time or another
helped over hnrd places, he passed a useful life. While in common
with all mortals Ije had faults, the good so largely predominated as to
leave little to be criticized.
February lU, 1881), while present at a hearing of a legislative
committee to favor the continued [mblication of the Province Laws,
and at a time when he was apparently in vigorous health, he waa
suddenly seized witli violent pain and called a carriage to drive him
home. By the time he got there he was suffering intensely and
physicians were immediately summoned, but medical skill proved of
no avail. A hemorrhage of the pancreas, from which tliere was no
hope of recovery, had occurred ; and on the twenty-iirst of February,
after he had arranged a few affairs that he had on bis mind and said
good-bye to his children, without regrets for tlie past or fears for
the future and at peace with all mankind, he ceased to breathe.

have suffered, in common with the rest of the community, in the sudden
death of Henry Austin Whitney."
'^ Elected a director of the road in 1871, and serving as its president
since 1875, he has rendered long, faithful and valuable service which de-
serves to be remembered. Liberal in iiis conception of the duty which a
railroad owes to the public, vigilant of the interests of the stockholders, of
kind and generous impulses, of unswerving integrity in the management of
the trust confided to him, his performance of the duties of his office merited
and achieved success."
" His cultivated intelligence, his ready wit, his genial and social disposi-
tion, and the courtesy which marked his intercourse with all, won him
many friends, to whom his loss will bring enduring sorrow."

the ripples it made in the current in passing have left their marks

.1 TITLE AND HISTORY OF THE HENRY VASSALL
estate;* CAMBRIDGE, MASS.
By the late Samuel BATCitBLDeu, Esq., of Cambridge, Maaa.
The records of Canibrirlge commence in the year 1632.
•• January 7, 1632. — It is ortkred that oo person whatsocrer shall aet up any
bouse in tbe bounds of the town \vithout leave from the major part.
** December 2. — Ordered that no person shall fell any tree within the pofA
%eihich gofthfrfjm WatertQwn to Chtirifntown.
** March 2, 1638.— Granted John Benjamin all the jrronnd between John Maa-
t«fB, his ^ound, and Anthony C'ouldbyeSt providetj that the Windmill hiU shall
be reserved for the town's nae, and a ^art uPtiy imt rods tmle unto the same.
"January 5, 1634.^ — It is ordered that whosfjever hath any lot granted by the
town, and aliall not improve the samu then it is to retnrn to' the Town, or if he
shall improve the same, he shall rlrst olfer it to the town; if they refuse to give
him what charge he hath been at, then to have liberty to sell it to whom he can.
*' February 6", 163€. — (Irranted to Mr. Green half au acre for a house lot next to
Bfr. Cabot upon condition that if lie ffo it shall return to the Town, only imylng
the worth of hin bulhllnirs and fencing and breaking up. More granted unto
" William Adams half an acre,
*• Robert Parker half an acre-
"William Wilcox half an aere.
For possessions and boundaries of these half acre lots, see extract from Pro-
prietors' records."
The foregoing extracts from the Records of Cambridge fix the location
of ibe streets. The ** path that leads from Watertown to Cbailestown"
iDcIudes Brattle Street and Mason Street, as far as the Common, and the
cart way to Wnidmilt hill is now Ash Street. But the bouudaries of
Windmill hill, accordiitg to the records in the Town Book of 1633, reserved
for the use of the Toftrn, with the carl way two rmls wide to the sarae^ wore
Dot staked out uutil 1684, wlieu a committee was appointed for the pur-
poBOf who reported as follows:
*• The East side thereof is bounded by Richard Eccles six rods and seven feet —
the Southerly side bounded on Charles Uiver ten rods — the Westerly side on said
Eceles's marsh seven rods and a half — and the Northerly side on aald Eccles' tea
rods and four feet."
By the al»ove it would appear that Richard Eccles had become the owner
of the several grants to John Benjamin including his marsh, and this is
confirmed by the deed of John Marritt to Jonathan Remington in 16<i5, io
which a part of the western boundary refers to Riehiird Eccles as the
owner, and it appears also by the same deed that Ecrlea was also the owner
of the half acre lot formerly granted to William Wilcox adjoining that of
Nathaniel Green at the corner of Ash Street.
In the volume called the Proprietors' Records is the following order of
Court.
•• April 1 , 1C34. — It was ortlered the constable and four of the chief Inhabitants
of every town to be chosen by all the freeman there at town meeting, with the
advice of some one or more of the next assistants, shall make a survey of the

shall return again to the Town, — also granted unto Wm. Adams half an acre —
Robert Parker half an acre — Wm. Wilcox half an acre."
The possessions and boundaries in these half acre lots are afterwards con-
firmed by a committee, under date of the 12th of the first month 1637, aa
follows: —
We whose names are underwritten, being chosen surveyors for the Town of
Cambridge, do for this year enter the houses and Lands of the inhabitants
thereof as follows :
Barnabas Lamson. Joseph Isaacs. John Moore.
" Wm. Adams, planter, one house and lot containing half an acre, abutting
on the highway that leads to Watertown, North — on the land of John Masters
both to the South and West — and to the land of Robert Parker East."
*' To the widow of Bartholemew Green In west end, one house with half an
acre of land, the highway to Watertown North— John Masters South — John
Benjamin's highway East — William Wilcox West.
'• To Robert Parker one house with garden and backsides, on the Lane to Water-
town in the West end— Wm. Wilcox East — John Masters South — Thomas Adams
West— highway North."
The possession of the half acre of Wilcox is recognized in the boundaries
of the two preceding lots, as between them.
" In 1 639 Roger Bancroft bought of Nathaniel Sparhawk one dwelling
house with about half an acre of ground to it that the house stands on, with
all the rights and privileges thereto belonging. Gary Latham South and
West — the highway North — Robert Parker East."
The wife of Gary Latham was a daughter of John Masters, by which
means he came into possession of the premises first granted to John Masters.

The preceding lot conveyed to Bancroft, according to the situation and
bcmimlarie*. must be the same as that assigueil to AtUniK (Thomas or Wil-
liam). I fitnl no conveyance to Sparhawk, hnt Mr, Paige says there waa a
family com|>ri8ing Thomas Adams, who gold a house near Fresh Pond to
Nalhauit-I Sparhawk in 1G38, and William Adams, who owned a house south
of lijMtrle Street, and this family went with Hooker to Connecticut.
Mr. Paige says John Masters ditrd December 22, 1639, and his widow
died Decend>er 26, 1039.
The claim of Cai v Latham is entered m Proprietors' Records. Sept. 6th,
1042.
•' In West ond — < )ne dwolllnjj house with out-boiises find seven {trres of land —
more or less— John Hridjfe Nf^rth West— Iliijh way to Whulnull Jlill South East —
John Benjamin South West — Elizabeth tireen, Wm. Wilcoi» Robert Parker,

There is in Proprietors* Records the claim of "John Brid^ire bought of
Cjiry Latlfara lialf an acre — more or less of upland, the tmir.sh South—
Thomiis Marriot West — the highway to Watertown Nortli — Cary Latham*«
land East." John Bridge l)efore tliis had a lot on the Watertown road, as
the Town 1637, August 14th, granted John Bridge "liberty to set the
porch of bis house six feet into the highway," and the conveyance of Latham
extended \m territory to the marslu
Cary L:itham removed to New London about 164G, and under date of
fiixih month, " 1 64t>, conveys to Thomas Crosby one dwelling liouse and seven
acre§ of hind — more or less — John Bri<lge >forthwest^ — highway to Wind-
mill hill Sonlh east — his own land South west^ — Elizubi^lh Green, Wm,
Wilcox, Robert Parker, Rojier Bancroft and hitjlmay to Watertown North
eaBt."
According to the descriptions and boundaries in the prtK?eding deed there
must have been at that date six dwellitig houses fronting on Biultle Street,
on ihta estate — one on each of the half acre lots graitted to Green, Wilcox,
Paiker and Adams, and one on the live or six rods of the front, on Brattle
Street, of llie seven acrt^s gratjtt^d Xo Masters, which included the row of
Hawtliorri trees at the west of the present house, and the house of John
Briflge west of the row of trees. It these four half acre lots were laid out
four rods on the street, and extending back 20 rods, of which there are
80nae other examples in original laying out of lots in Cambridi;e, the fourth
lot wouM cover a part of the ground occupied by the Ka^t wing of the present
house, which wa« not built imtil after those lirst houses built before 1640,
had gone to decuy, except that at the corner of Ash Street, which must
have been a house of some consequence, as it waa maintained in a habitable
coDdition until it was sold by ^Ae/i(??^r Wyeth to John Vassall in 1741, and
on digging six or eight inches below the surface, at tlie present time, we
dii^over the remains of a pavement of small pebbles of different colors.

with a highway to Charlea RhcT South ea^iv — Jathl Green, Richard Ecclea and

In the foregoing deed John Marratt conveys only five acres of the farm
of eight acre& iirherited from his father, bounding ia on the west in part oa
his own land.
September 22d, 1682* Jonathan Remmjfton far the consideration of ^120
conveys " t^ Andrew Bekher my raesauage or tenement with the orchard and
land adjolulutr and belonging containing five acres, be the same more or leas^
situate and b«inc in Carahrldge aforesaid, hutted and bounded Northerly upon
the land of NatUl Green In part, the land of Richard Eecles Im part, and partly
by a hijjhway — South east upon a highway Ir-arilirv^ to Charles RJver—Soiith west
upon land of Richard Eceles in part and the land of John Marratt In part — and
Westerly upon the land of Reuben Luxford, or however otherwise the same is
bounded or reported to be bounded.'*
By the will of Andrew Belcher, who died in 1717, Jonathan Belcher
inherited this estate, and December Ist, 1719, in consideration of the sum
of £220 conveyed to John Frizzell " all that certaiu tract or parcel of land,
situate, lying and being in Cambridge, in the County of Middlesex, and
province aforesaid, containing by estimation six acres, more or less, being
bounded northerly by the county road — North-westerly by land belonging
to the heirs of Reuben Luxford, deceased, and Amos Marratt, Southerly
by John Phillips* marsh — South westerly by a highway leading down to
the Windmill — and Northerly and Easterly by the house iot of the said John
Phillips, or however otherwise bounded or represented to be boumded,
together with the dwelling house, barn, out-houses, edifices, fences, profits,
privileges, rights, commodities and appurtenances to the said tract or parcel
of land belonging."
In the conveyance from John Marratt to Jonathan Remington the
northern boundary is partly on land of Nathaniel Green and Richard Eccles.
In the deed of Belcher to Frizzell the house plot of John Phillips comes
into the northerly and easterly boundary, instead of Richard Eccles.
Eccles died, according to Mr. Paige, previous to March, 1696, when his
estate was sold by his daughters, probably to Phillips. This was, no doubt,
the half acre originally granted to Wm. Wilcox, and now denominated the
house plot of Phillips, and which was purchased together with what is here
called Phillips's Marsh, at the sale of Eccles's estate

Southwesterly with Joseph B- Crackboue — North westerly with the heirii of
Lujcford Patten deceased and Sonth easterly partly with Samuel Bull and partly
with a highway to the brick wharf."
As the above deed conveys one acre more than the deed lo John Frizzelli
and omits the boundary on the house plot of Jokn PhiiUps, it may be inferred
that this house plot had become part of tlie estate conveyed.
Deceuaber 30, 1741. John Vasaall conveys to his brother Henry Vassall ** now
residing in Boston, New Eughind^ late of the Inland of Jaiuaim, planter, in

furniture of household of and belonging to the said dwelling-house (one bed
and furniture excepted, which is to be at my own option), also one chariot, one
four wheel chaise, two bay stone horses, and two black geldings."
Also thirty acres of mowing and pasture land on the opposite side of Charles
River.
The territory conveyed by the preceding deed did not extend to the
corner of Ash Street, where the title of the balf acre originally granted to
Bartholomew Green iu 1636, after the death of Green and tbe &ale of his
estate in 1707 by his heirs, had been eoutinued
through Amos Marratt in 1723
and Joseph Crackbone in 1728
and Samuel Bull in 1734

March 31, 1747, John Vassall to Henry Vas&all in conaideration of £700
old (eiior conveys the same property to Henry VaaaalK This completes the
title to the estate to the Eastern boundary on Ash Street.
In 174 U at tbe time of the first deed from John Vassall to bis brother,
and in the preceding deeds, the boundary of the estate on tbe West was, at
different periods, John Bridge, Matthew Bridge, Reuben Luxford and
Luxford Patten, and this boundary is still indicated by the row of Haw*
thorn. Elm and Linden trees which probably stood near the western limits.

for the •' consideration of £100 of all the right, title and estate which I, the said
Rebecca, have or ought to have of. in or unto a certain messuage and tract of

Tbe ftlwve deetl and that from John YasMll to Henry Vassall dated
March 31, 1747» of the half acre purchased of Wyeth, completes the East
and West boundaries of the estate. Before this the title to the whole
territory was not onited in one owner.
It seems therefore clear that the brick wall on Brattle and Ash Streets
must have beeu built by Henry Vassall after that date.
I have found no document or tradition to tix the time when tbe oldest
part oi the present house was built, but it was probably about the ysar 1700,
The present proprietor in repairing the house in 1842 found the plastering
iu such a condition that he had most of the house newly plasterud, and on
taking ofif the oUl plastering found that on the front of the house wa§ done
when the lime was made by the burning of oyster shells, and the mortar waa
full of pieces of sheila. The front of the house and the west wiug and
kitchen, one story in height, were probably built while the estate was owned
by Andrew Belcher, which was from 1G82 to his death in 1717. The
estate was inherited by his »on Jonathan Belcher, who sold it to John
Frizzell in 1719, at which time it must have been a suitable residence for
a Boston merchant of some note, who gave a bell to the new North Church,
and whose widow left a legacy of £200 to the poor of Boston.
While the estate was owned by this family, from 1719 to 1736, the
house waa probably enlarged, and had been so much improved, that the
estate purch.ised for £220 was then sold to John Vassall, who found it a
suitable residence for his family, a year or two after his marriage with the
daughter of Lieut. Governor Spencer PhippB. After the death of his wife,
in 1739, he sold it to his brother Henry in 1741, who was then about to
marry Penelope, daughter of Isaac Royal 1 of Medford* He continued to
occupy the estate until the time of his death, in 17G9, during whiL'h time he
built the east wing of the house, and no doubt made other additions and
improvements, as the different parts of the house show that it was built at
four different times.
Henry Vassall was reputed to have large estates in the West Indies, and
lived in princely style, but while he was making these improvements, in
1748, February 1 4th he mortgaged the estate and also 30 acres of land on
the south side of Charles River, to James Pitts for £779, 12. 6, and in
1765, October 2d, he sold the 30 acres to Ebenezer Bradish, James Pitta
giving a release of tbe same.
December 16, 1764, he gave a mortgage to Charles Russell of Lincoln,
for security for a bond for £856- 14. 8, which appears to have been giveo
for the marriage portion of his daughter, who was nuirried to Charles Russell.
He also gave Sept- 7ih, 1767, a mortgage to Michael Trollet for £225.
These mortgages remained unpaid at the time of his death in 1769. His
widow commenced the payment of them, and received a discharge on that
of Troilfct, Nov. 10th, 1770, on payment of £266. 13. 4. for debt and
interest, but it is jjrobabte that on account of the troubles preceding the
Revolutionary war she was not able to accomplish if. She continued, how-
ever, to occupy the estate until tbe commencement of hostilities, when she
and her family left the country. They returned, however, after the
Revolution, and died here, the mother at the age of seventy -six and the
daughter at tifty-uine.
While the Revolutionary army was at Cambridge, no donbt this house was
the head quarters of the Surgeon -General and perhaps a hospital. Doctor
Benjiimin Church, after ho was detected in correspundeuce with the enemy,
was arrested here and confined to his quarters until his trial, and left a record

of his occupation of tlie house by hts Dame cut with a pen knife on ond of
the doors of his chamber, which is still legible though since covered with
several coats of paint.
James Pills no doubt took possession of the estate under Lis mortgage,
as hie heirs — viz.: Johti Pitts, Samuel Pitts and Liiidall Pitts, merchants of
Boston, and Jonathan Warren, Esq., and Elizabeth Warren, wife of said
JonathnUi^ in her own right, of PorLsmontb, N. H., June 12,^ 1782, in con-
sideration of £850, convey to Nathaniel Tracy of Newburyport* the Henry
Yassall estate, and by the descriptions and boundaries in the deed it appears
that Tracy was then the owner of the Craigie estate.
On the failure of Tracy he was in debt to Lane and Frazier of London,
and conveyed to Thomas Rnssell for their benefit, Oct. 30th, 1786, bis
property (see Register of Deeds, Vol. t*4, p. 385), and Thomas Russell
conveyed to Andrew Craigie* Jaoiiary 1st, 1792 (see Book 110, p. 406), *'a
piece of land in Cambridge containing nine acres, bounded North easterly
on a highway leading to Charles River — ^Northerly on a road leading to
Watert^^wn, and Westerly and Southerly on oth**r land hereby conveyed,
being the late homestead of llenr)' Vassal 1» Esquire, together with the
dwelling house, barn and out houses thereon standing."
Craigie continued to own the estate until his death- During this time,
by some agreement between Bossinger Foster and Craii;ie wlios© sister
Mary was the wife of Foster, and Craigie having no children, the children
of Foster wonld be his legal heirs. Mr. Foster and his family moved
from Boston and resided in this house some years until the death of Foster,
which probably took y)lacc before that of Craigie, who died, intestate, about
1S20. After the assignment of dower to his widow, an agreement was
executed Oct. Itht 1^21, betiveeu Samuel Haven, of Dedhara, and Eliza-
beth bis wife in her right, and Andrew Foster of Roxbuty, physician, and
John Foster, of Cambridge, gentleman, and Thomas Foster of the same
Cambridge^ physician, being the heirs at law of Andrew Craigie, late of
Cambridge, deceased, ititestate, for the partition of the real estate of said
iutestate in the County of Middlesex, except such parts thereof as have
been assigned to bis widow as dower.
In the execution of this agreement the property was divided into four parts,
and that part denominated share No. 1, fell by lot to Elizabeth Haven,
described as follows, Book 240, p. 333.
8hare No* 1 consists of the Henry Vassall estate so called^ as the same is
now separated from the dower of the said Craigie's widow, bounded Westerly
thereon by a line* rnnniiig from the westerly end of the brick wall on the
old Walertown road. South 37 degrees W«sl to tbe new Watertown road,
Northerly on the old road to Watertown — Easterly on a lane leading from
Sftid road to Charles River, and Southerly on the new road to Watertown.
While the estate was in possession of Judge Haven be madtj important
improvements in the bouse, raising it a toot and a half and underpiuuing
the same with granite, and also made other repairs.
The present proprietor purchased the estate of Messrs Green leaf and
HilJiard representing the several parties in interest* in December, 1811 Just
one hundred years after it was conveyed to Henry Vassall, in December,
1741. [Signed,] S. B.

Gentlemen
We have just received the Copy of an Act of the British Parlia-
ment passed the present session whereby the Town of Boston is treated in
a manner the most Ignominius & Unjust The Parliament have taken
upon them from the representation of our Govenor & other persons
inimical to & deeply prejudiced against the Inhabitants, to try, condem, an
by an Act to punish them unheard which would have been in violation of
natural Justice^ even if they had an acknowledged Jurisdiction. They have
order'd our Port to be iutirely shut up, leaving us barely so much of the
means of subsistance as to keep us from Perishing with Cold & Hunger,
and it is said that a Fleet of British Ships of War is to shut up our Har-
bour, untill we shall make restitution to the East India Company for the
loss of their Tea which was destroyed therein the Winter past, obedience
paid to the Laws and Authority of Great Britain and the revenue is duly
collected. This Act fills the Inhabitants with Indignation. The more
thinking part of those who have heretofore been in favour of the Measures
of the British Goverment, look upon it as not to have been expected even
from a barbarous State.
This attack tho made immediately upon us is doubtless designed for every
other Colony who will not surrender their sacred Rights & Libertys into
the Hands of an infamous IViinistry. Now therefore is the Time, when aSi
should be united in opposition to this Violation of the Liberties of aJL
This Grand Object is to divide the Colonies. We are well informed that
another Bill is to be brought into Parliament to distinguish this from the
other Colonies, by repealing some of the Acts which have been complained

surrender your Riglits, if ever they should succeed iu their attempt to sup-
press the Spirit ot Liberty here.
The single Question then is^ whether you consider Boston as now suffering
in the common Cause 4& aensihly feal & resent the injury and Atfrout
offer'd to her. If you do (and we cannot believe otherwise) may we not
from your Approbation of our former conduct, in defence of American
Liberty, rely on your sufipeuding your Trade with Great Britain at least,
which it is acknowledged will be a great but necessary sacritice to the caose
of Liberty & will effectually defeat the dehigns of this Act of revenge. If
ibis should be done you will please to consider it will be thought a volun-
tary sutfering, greatly short of what we are calld to indure under the
immediate Hand of Tyranny.
We Desire your Answer by the Bearer: and after assuring you, that not
io the least intimidated by thia InUumune Treatment we are still deter*
mined to the utmost of our Abilitea to maintain the Rights of America, we
are, Gentlemen, YoDR Friends & Fellow Codntrymen.

The originsl of the aboTe will of John Washington, the emigrant ancestor
of President Washington, was preserved among the General's papers at Mount
Vernon. After the sale of the estate In 1858 to the Ladies' Mount Vernon
Association of the Union, the papers and other relics were removed by the
owner. Some of them were exhlbitd at the United States National Museum at
Washin^irton, for a few weeks, last winter, but were removed in February last
to be sold. A catalogue was prepared and printed, and on Tuesday, Wednesday
and Thursday, April 21st, 22d and 23d, 1891, the collection was sold at auction
in Philadelphia by Thomas Birch's Sons. The relics brought very high prices.

Mtjfh !*«*arch lias been made for about a dozen years for this orii^inal will
of the Virffinift emigrant, John Washington. In 1878 Mr Jaraes Colt^inan. the

certain real estate in Loudon, from John Wikihiugton of London, eitlzen and
draper, and Margaret his wife one of the daughters of Henry Hanvood, jrcnt., to
Robert Ablxitt. citireu and scrivener. The deed was dated Jniie a, 1G57. A
deed of n John Washin^on, dated lfi57, probably this one. came about 187d
Into the poasciision of the late CoL Joseph L. Chester, "who conjectured that this
John WaHliinpton niii^ht be the VirKiuia einiiarrant, yelling IjI.h property before
Icanng F-ni^land, and an he knew his aiiceytiT» he wished to procure an auto-
graph c»f tilt' end^^ratit, or a tracing of one, to compare with the sij^natxire to
the deed. He wrote to Mr. Kobert A. Brock of Hkliiiiond, Vlri;inia, to the
editor of the Register, and to others in this countrj', a^kin^ tiieni to assist
him In proc^iring one. Mr. Brock had search made In the Westmoreland
County Conrt House for the will, but neither the orifjinal nor the record %Yas
to be found there. Bishop Meade in his. Old Chnrches, Ministers and Families
In Vlrjrinia, published In 1857 (vol. 2, pii^re UJT), bad pnntMl an abstract of the
will which wa* obtained from the papers at that Court House. Tiiis abstract
mast have been made from tlie record, as we now know that the original will
was then in the pfissession of the family. But even the record book could not
then be found in the office; aud it was not discovered till last Decemlwr, when
Mr. J. Warren Hntt, the clerk, found It. Re at once sent a copy to Mr. Mon-
care D. Conway ami another to Mr, Isaac J. Greenwood. (See REOTHTKit, vol-
45, pp. 1G4-5.) Mr. Conway conmiunicated his copy to the New York NaUnn,
In which paper It waj^i printed December 18, 18t)0. Mr. Greenwood sent his
copy to the editor of the Rkolstek. The record was much mutilated, portions
of it being nussing. Before Mr, Greenwood's copy of the record could be
printed, the editor was informed of Dr. Toner's copy from the original. In
which the misHiug portions are all found; and he baa now the pleasure of lay-

layd Cap**" Winslow on both sides Saint Georges River as he was going
to the garrisoD with Seventeen meo in two Whal l>oat©St whome the ludiaui
have killed or taken all but three that made their escape and got to the
garrison. They say there was a great number of the Indians, who fir'd
upon our people first from the Western side the river ; as soon as they had
fir*d they puf off in their Canoes and fell on our People very furiously, so
that our boates were obliged to part, they overpowering them with a superior
number. Cap*" Winslow endeavoured to land on the West side, and so long
as he was seen by our People fought boldly and bravely, and it is Judg'd
kiird several of the Indians. Sarj* Harvey landed on the East side hope-
ing to get clear of them, but as soon as they landed there was another
Considerable party mett him and Shot him down. After they had chang*d
some shots on both sides our People were then obliged to draw off as well
as they could, one of them did not get into the garrison till three days
afterward, he saw an Indian that day, our people trackt some, about a
week after not more than a hundred yards from the garrison. It is Judg'd
there is a party lurk about the river and garrison still. Where they fir'd
on our people first, they Judge there could not be less then Thirty Canoos
besides three ambuscades more, one on the West and two on the East sides
the River. Wee have not men to look for the Dead bodies of our freinds
so that our Enemies have a double triumph over us. Cap*° Harmons

bably bringing the company which settled in Southold, Long Island. — [See
Atwater's History of N. H. Colony, pages 162-3.] From the amount of
property (£513. 3. 9.) left by him at his death in 1684 (the inventory waa
taken December, 1684), it is probable that he belonged to a family of some
wealth in England. It has been suggested that he may have been one of the
Smiths of Haddon Hall, some of whom came to this country. He married
Grace Hawley (born , 16 — ), who died in 1690. The will of Mrs.
Grace Smith is recorded in Vol. 2, page 90, of the New Haven Probate
Records. It is dated Nov. 26, 1689. She gives her property of £61. 11. 7.
to her four children. There is no inventory to be found. Children :

probate records are in Vol. 3, pages 60, 6!, 80, 99 and 119. On

only John is mentioned; probably the wife and the daughter, Ruth
Briscoe, were dead at that time. Ruih'a portion of £o6 is given to
the daughter, Ruth Briscoe; Mercy's portioo is given to her bu*-

debt of £60. 18s. due Gov. Thomas Dudley (Suffolk Deeds, Lib. I. fol. 37-8, 81).
Calamy says that he had his education in New-England. He was appointed
Vicar of Kelvedon in Essex, Sept. 9, 1647, by the Committee for Plundered
Ministers. He was still at Kelvedon in 1660, as appears by the Parliamentary
return of that year. He succeeded Dr. John Owen as Vicar of Coggeshall in the
same county as early as 1663. On the 11th July, 1664, Deborah, daughter of
Jo. and Anne Sames, "vicar," was baptized there. He was ejected from
Coggeshall under the Bartholomew act. Afterwards he set up a separate meeting
in that place, of which he died pastor. He was buried at Coggeshall, Dec. 16,
1672. His funeral sermon was preached by Thomas Lowry from Isaiah bciii. 1, 2.

WASHWOTOif :^
The fol lowing article by Mr. James Greenstreet od " The Ancestry of
Greoeral Washiogton" appeared in "The Geoealogist" for Jaoiiary, 1891 :
It is due, I think, to the memory of Colonel Chester that it should be known
he loDsr ago travelled over much the same ground as that which Mr. H. F.
Wfttersi has made public in his recent pamplilet ; and which he speaks of (p. 8) ,*
unwiitln^!;, as though It had been hitherto an untrodden track. As far back
as 18C4, Crit4>nel Chester was aware of the connection with Lutoa; and on p.
74 of Ills Washington notebook, in the College of Arms, the Admon. of HO May.
1677, [re-] ''discovered"! by Mr. Waters, In 1884 or 1885, will be found duly
set ont.
Following the same chain of facts as Mr. Waters has since done, Colonel
Chester likewise went to the Tring RejEfij^ters, but unfortunately only by proxy;
and, still more unfortunately, he rested contented with the information sent to
him by that proxy. Had Colonel Chester gone to Tring and examined the
books himself, in all probability Mr. Waters would have been entirely fore-
stalled twenty years back.^ On page 35 of bis notebook, the Colonel has copied
a letter he received from Tring, from which it will be seen that he never knew
the Re'^risters there actually chronicled the baptism of a Lawrence, son of the
Rev. LawTfiico WaHhingrton.

of Nf r. Walorn's discoveries in the Rkhister for October, liSnS, Mr. Conway has
viMited Eujjland and trathrrcil material bearing on the snbject of his article. He
was aLso alloweti by Georpe K. Cokayne, M.A., F.8.A., the friend ami executor
Of CoL Joseph L. Chester, LL.D., D.C.L., the useof the Washington r^Alrcktn^a
of that di9tln|yui!!!hed antiquary contained in a thick foUo volume. Mr. Conway
la now a believer In the theory of Mr Watern. In the Harper article are given
the main points of the evidence In relation to the Ancestry of Washington,
(^ne new fact of gjreat importance Is that Lawrence Washington, rector of
Purleijflj, had a wife livinir in i«UiJ, tm shown by the order of the "Committee
OH Ftiindered Ministers," August 15 in that year, that •* Mr. John Rocrers, minis-
ter of the seqtiestere<l rectory of Purleigh in Dingey Hundreds do pay the fifth
part of the tithea and proflt-s of said Itectory nnto Mr#». Washinsrton, acconling
to a formal order of y* Com, of Plundered ministers/' On September 2oth the
Committee *• Ordered that Mr. John Kotrers and Mra. Washington be heard on
WcHlnesday in the sessions." < bi the last pajre of tl»e book this decision of the
Coiinnittee is riH^orded : " lllfth port of Purleij^h ordered to the plundered
Keciur':* wife." Mr. Conway was aLso di*>coverer of the fact found in the
orisrinal will, that (^ol. John' Washington the emigrant had a sister Martha,
as already announceii in the Reoistkr. Both of tlieae new facta stren^hen the
pohition taken by Mr. Waters.
Mr. Conway's contribution to Harper's Magazine is very interesting, particu-
larly to tho!<»'*who have a curiosity to know all they can about the homes of the
emii;:nint ancestor of Prcisident Washington, and of his kindnnl. Very g^raphic
descriptions of the hitcalities are plven. The illustrations like all those In Har-
per are of a hijcfb order of merit. They consist of views of the churches of
Trin^ and Luton, and the baptbtry of the latter; brasses in St, James Church,
Sulgrave; Gen. Washlnarton's seals; and fac-si miles of the autograph of Col.
John Washington, and of eutries in the Tring parish registers. As Harper*s
Hagaxlue has a large circnlation In England, we hope this article will meet the
eyea of antitiuaries in the localities with which Lawrence Wa.shlngtou and his
wife Amphlllis were connected, and that tliey \vill try to <iiscover the recoMs of
Mr. Waiihbigton's marriage and death ; the record of the baptism of his son John ;
the name of the living which the rector of Pnrleigh held aft^-r that living was
seqnt stc^rMl, and other evidence bearing on the Washington pedigree.— Enrroa,}
I hope that Mr. Conway's article will inspire the clergymen near Tring and
Luton to examine their records for mention of I*awrence Washington's mar-
riage. The clrcorastantial evidence of the marriage of Rev. Lawrence Wash-
ington to Amphilll.s Rhodes is very, very strongs but not conclusive. The proof is
Btill to be found. The fact is that a Lawrence Waahlngton, M. .\. , was in January,
1649-50, acting in the court at which a gtiardian was appointed for one of the
children of Amphillis Washingtou. Uutil some evidence is produced we must
hold that this Lawrence Washington, M.A., is Identical with the rector of Pur^
leigh* We cannot, however, yet say that Lawrence Wa,shington, husbuid of
Amphillis, was a clergyman, though the baptisms at Tring call him "Btr."
It ianot tfiip««9i6/«! that'some cousin and namesake of tlie Rev. Lawrence of
Pnrleigh, was the husband, and persuaded liim to be present at the court nnd act
flfl surrogate. This is highly improbable; but coincidence and vh rial
evidence are not clear proofs. Therefore until new evidence is - :hc
Washington pedigree is not to be taken as wholly proved. — W. H. \\ ujimiirk.

LETTER FROM ROBERT TREAT PAINE TO GENERAL
DAVID COBB.
From the original in tlie Cablneft of the Society.
Philada. June 17, 1775.
Dear Friend
I omitt no opportunity of writing to yon. I wish yon conld return the
Compliment ; I am as well as great exertion of Body & mind will admit
of. I have not time to be very formal, & may tell you in a few words
that we have unanimously chosen George Washington Esqr. to be General
of the American forces ; we have voted & orders are taken for sending in
the most speedy manner ten Companys of Riflemen to join our Army ;
efifectual measures are taken to support the Army & all Continental
Charges.
By Advices from England the Ministry are determined to push, & the
people there & in Ireland seem more disposed to favor, us ; if we can but
stand the shock of this Summer we hope to be upon a better footing; be-
fore this reaches you, we expect you will have a large reinforcement of
Ministerial Troops at Boston. I hope our people will be very wary of
Surprises ; we have likewise appointed General Ward first Major General ;
these matters above I have license to mention to you tho* as our system is
not compleated, it is expected that none of these intelligences be put in the
news paper. The General will soon set out for Boston — pray take care of
my family — inclosed I send a proclamation w**** you may present together
with my compliments to Mr. Bamum — let my wife read this Letter — I
have not time to write her — hoping yr happiness I am
y' friend & servant,

More about the Wheelwright Deed*

MORE ABOUT THE WHEELWRIGHT DEED.
The following letter has been received from the Hon, CqabLES
H. Bell, LL.D., of Exeter, N, H.
To THE Editor of the Beotster :
Some years ago I read before the New Englaod Historic Geoealogical
Society a paper (since printed in tbe "John Wheelwright" volome of the
Prince Society) in which I pleaded for a suspension of judgineut in respect
to the authenticity of the Wheelwright Deed of 1G29, which had been im-
pugned by the Hon. James Savage, Dr. Routon and others. I raaintained
that the evidence then known did not conclusively prove the deed to be a
fabrication, but that tliere was a possibility that the instrument was the
veritable act of John Wheelwright,
Wheelwright was oii May 17, 1629, the date of the disputeii deed» and
for years before and after» the vicar of Bllsby in Lmcolashire, England.
If be was there, at his pmt^ at that date, or so near it aa to leave him no
time for a visit to America and a purchase of lands from the Indian Saga-
mores before the day on which the deed purf>orted to be executed, then
the deed could not have been his handiwork. Otherwise it was possible
that it might have been.
On this |>oint I adduced the statement of the late CoL Joseph L, Chester,
who had made an examination of the papers relating to the parish of Bilsby
to the Registry of the Bishop of Lincoln. It was the duty of tbe vicar to
fiigti the yearly trafiscript of the parish registers on each successive 2otb
day of March, Cob Chester reported (Register, xxii. 360) that the trans-
cript fr^r March, ICiU, was missing, and that there were no data to show
that Wheelwright was at Bilsby on that day, or within nearly a year of it,
before or after. If that statement had been correct, as from the well kuowa
thoroughness and accuracy of Col. Chester there seemed no reason to doubt,
the records of Bilsby afforded no evidence that Wheelwright did not come
to New England in the spring of 1629.
It now appears tliat Col. Chester's report was erroneous. Dr. Henry B.
Wheelwright, of Newburypoi-t, has recently made a thorough examination
of the documents pertainiug to Bilsby, in the Bishop's Registry of Lincoln*
ADd has ascertained that the transcript of 1629 is in existence, and bears
the signature of John Wheelwright, There is every reason therefore to
believe that he was at Bilsby on the 25th of March in that year ; and it is
almost increflible that he could have visited this country, and accomplished
a purchase from the Indians before the sacceeding 17tii of May.
The evidence in regard to the genuineness of the deed is thns essentially
changed from what it was when my paper was written ; and there now re-
mains scarcely room for question that the disputeil instrument was an
ingenious fabrication.
It is only jnst to the memory of Col. Chester to add that the error in his
statement is not believed to be chargeable to bim. No doubt he reported
correctly on the papers shown liim, and had the assurance that they were
ail that related to the parish of Bilsby. But it is supposed that by a mistake
of the custodian, the transcript which bears so materially upon the credibility
of the Wheelwright purchase of 1 G29 was never brought to his notice.

Borough English,— As a fruitful object of Investigation for those inter-
eatt^ In gcneaiogical research, 1 beg to suggest that of Borough EngUsli aa
indicated by early New-England wlUs. The Engliali homes of enough New
England immigrants are kuown, so that the connectloii betweeu mauora In
which this copyhold custom obtained and the familleji wliich have indicated a
preference for the youngest son in their wills could be traced with comparative
ease. In one family, known only to have come from a county in wMch Borough
English was common, 1 have noticed this preference in four generations.
The cnatom, which seems? to ha%^e little connection with boroughs, is a manorial
custom of descent. Its history Is obscure and has been nnsulisfactorily exploited.
A p!auslble theory is that it is a survival from the pre-Celtic tnlmbitauta of
Bnglancl. A discusiiioii of the institution ia contained in one of the cimpbera of
Elton's Origins of English History.

livetl, when in Cambridge, on the estate formerly of Nicholas Danforth, which
lie sold to Edmund Angler, Oct. 8, 1G54, after which time I have found no trace
of him. He was perhaps brother of William and John of Cambridge.

KECROLOGY OF THE NEW-ENGLAND HISTORIC
GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY.
Prepared by Hamilton Andrews Hill, A.M., Historiograplier of the Society.
The Historiographer would inform the Society, that the sketches pre-
pared for the Register are necessarily brief in consequence of the limited
space which can be appropriated. All the facts, however, which can be
gathered are retained in the Archives of the Society, and will aid in more
extended memoirs for which the '* Towne Memorial Fund," the gift of the
late William B. Towne, is provided. Four volumes, printed at the charge
of this fund, entitled "Memorial Biographies," edited by the Commit-
tee on Memorials, have been issued. They contain memoirs of all the
members who have died from the organization of the society to the year
1862. A fifth volume is ready for the press.
The Rev. Henry Martyn Dexter, D.D., was bom in Plympton, Mass.,
August 13, 1821. He was the youngest child of the Rev. Elijah and Mary
(Morton) Dexter; his father (Brown Univ. 1806), was Congregational minister
at Plympton for more than forty-two years ; his mother was the only daughter
of the Hon. Nathaniel Morton of Freetown, Mass., and the sister of the Hon.
Marcus Morton of Taunton, Governor of Massachusetts 1840 and 1843. On the
maternal side, his great-great-great-great grandfather was Ephraim Morton,
who was the youngest of the five children of George Morton, merchant of York,
England. George married in Leyden, Holland, July 23, 1GI2, Julia Ann Carpen-
ter, sister to the first wife of Dr. Samuel Fuller and to the wife of Governor
Bradford; his second child and eldest son was Nathaniel, the author of New
England's Memorial; Ephraim was born on the passage to America, in the
Ann, in 1623.
The subject of this sketch graduated from Yale College in 1840 and from
Andover Theological Seminary in 1844. He was ordained pastor of the Frank-
lin Street Church, Manchester, N. H., November 9, 1844. In 1849, he was settled

as pastor of Pine Street Chnrch, now Berkeley Street Chtirch, Boston, as the
successor of the Rev. Austin Phelps. IIo resiijrTied this chartie in IHOT, \n onler
that he niletht devote himself iium^ cxclujiively to the oditorsblj* of the " Con-
^regationaiist/' with wMch he had been associated »iuce 1851 . From 1859 to 18C6
Dr. Dexter was one of the editors of the ** Conj^rej^ational Quarterly." From
1861) to 1871 he was actinir pastor of the Pilj?riin Church, Dorchenter.
In accepting membership in the New-Enfflaud Historic Genealogical Society,
Jaly 4, 1^62, Dr. Dexter wrotR : ''Various clrcnrastances have within a few
▼ears specially turned my thougrbt^ In the direction of the researches which it
loves and promotes." From this time he began to be recognized as an authority
npou everything relating to the fathers and early history of New FIngland, and
especially in referencju to the eccle^Iaslicfll polity which was brought to these
shores by the Pilgnins. He became the chief historian as w«?'ll as the ardent
defender of Congregationalism ; and the resulti* of hLs patient investl nations on
both sides of the Atlantic, and of his learned studies, will enure to the benefit
of the chnrches of his order for generations to come*
Dr. Dexter was elected into the American Antiquarian Society and the Massa-
chusetts Hir^torical Society In IMG!). He received the degree of D.D. from Yale
College (he had previously received it from Iowa College), in 1880, and of
LL.D. from the same institution in 18i*0. It in said to be the only iusttance in
which Yale ha-s given D.D. and LL.D. to the same man. He was found tlead in
his bed, at his home in New Bf'ilford, on the morning of Novemiju'r i:J, 1890;
and, two daya later, fnnerul services were held over his remains in the Berkeley
Temple, iio.ston, in the presence of a large and representative congregation.
He left a widow, and one son, the Kev, Mortx^u Dexter, Yale Coll, l8>;7. Mrs.
Dexter (Emeline, second daughter t»f Simeon and Mary (Caldwell) Palmer, of
Boston) did not long aorvive lier husband. She was born November 1, 1823,
was married November 19, 1844, and died, in Boston, February 24, 1891.
Charles AumsoN Richardson, son of Elisha and Harriet (Blake) Richard-
son, was bom in Franklin, Mass., October 9, 1829, and may have been baptized
by the distinguinhed theologian. Dr. Eunnons, who closed his active ministry
of flfty-four years in tliat town at about that time. His early years were spent
on a farm, where he worked hard, picking vip by the way such learning as he
could obtain in the local schools and academies. He ardently denlred a col-
legiate education and a ministerial career, but he lacked the requisite means,
and his health was not good. By dint oi economy and persistency, however,
be studied for some time at the state nonnal schools In WefiLlleld and Bridge-
water, and then tauy;ht for several years in Dedham and other towns, earning
high praise in that vocation. Coming to Boston In 1854, he spent a year or two
in the employ of John P. Jewett i, Co., who had just been made famouH by the
publication of *• Uncle Tom's Cabin": and on the 1st of January, 1850, he
acquired on interest in the " Congretjatloualist.'' and took the position of
managing editor. From that time until his death, thirty-live years later, his
personal history was Identifled with that paper. " Its growth in circulation,
itM etdargement and its improvement in every direction, the grafting on of
new departments, Its steady progress towards the ideals of excellence, —these
things," we are told, ** are dne in great measure '* to the far-sightedness and In-
ventive genius of Mr. Richardson. His jounialistle ability was of a hieh order.
" The qualities which he strove to cultivate lu others, and whicli he exemplified
in hifl own style, were acctiraey, clearness and condensation. His eye was
quick to detect mistakes, and he was facile In applying remedies."
In 18«',«;. Mr. Richanlson published a volume called *' Household Readings,"
tn which he reproduced a judicious selection from the columns of his paper*
In 1867 the " Recorder," a religious paper established by Dr, Jedidiah Morse in
181 «, was consolidated with the " Congregationalist."
Mr. Richardson joined the church tn'Franklln in his sixteenth year; later, he
was a member of the church In Dedham, of which the Rev* Dr, Burgess was
the minister; and on his removal to Boston, he joined the FiiNt Church,
Chelsea, of which he was a prominent and useful member until the time of his
dicath. He was superintendent of the Sunday school, and a deacon: and he
held several positions of responsibility in the denondnation to which he be-
longed. He received the honorary dejsree of M,A. from Dartmouth College Id
1685. He was admitted to the Historic Genealogical Society April 2, 1884.

The tlrst nmued work conni^ts of a Mccioir of Capt. Mason* prepared by the
Ute Charles W. Ttiitle, Ph.D,, with his chamcterlstic care and accnmcy; an
account of Mason's PlantAtions on the Pitftcataqiia, conipilM by John Wajt^
Dean, A.M., from Mr. TtilLle'** memoranda and other aourccn; a copy of
M«8cin*s Ilrief Blutcoursc on Kew-lQQnd-SLand* as onpnally Is^ned in 1@20;
timoscripts of Mason's several prrants, from that of Mariana in lfi22 to tlic royal
charter of OiJirk's f . in u;,;rj ^ and Farlous letters and docuiiiout-* ri'latiTig to his
connection with America.
Tlie early history of no part of our country has received so much additional
lip^ht from documents discovered within a generation, as that relating to New
Hampshire. Early writers on the subject were misled by the difficulties arising
from imperfect and fallacious materials, as for example, the conflicting and
overlapping grants of territory, tlie want of information respecting the site of
the province of Laconia, and the inexplicable statements contained in certain
documents purporting to be of early date but probably fabricated three fourths
of a century after their pretended execution. Many of these sources of error
have since been rectified by the results of the researches of John S. Jenness and
others ; though it must be confessed that there is still room for further elucida-
tion.
The most recent historical treasure-trove bearing upon Mason's rights as
proprietor, Is set forth at length in the work, in the form of a certified copy of
a royal grant to him in 1G35 of the province of New Hampshire, together with
the poicer of government of the same. The instrument w^as unearthed while the
book was going through the press. It evidently indicates the authority intended
to be vested in the patentee, even if it failed by reason of his unexpected death
to pass through some of the forms necessary for its validity.
Mr. Dean has in this volume corrected the errors of former writers, and
supplied the facts and explanations which they lacked ; so that he who would
learn the early history of New Hampshire, so far as it is connected with the
Masonian patents, amended to conform to the latest authorities, will find it in
this volume, and iti no other place. His editorial work is marked by thorough
investigation and exact statement, and the present issue of the Prince Society
will be held as equally correct and worthy of reliance with any that has pre-
ceded it.
♦* Sir Ferdinando Gorges," edited by James P. Baxter, A.M., who has within
a few years attained a deservedly high position as a historical writer, is a
memorial of the patentee of Maine very similar to that compiled by Messrs.

Tattle and DeAti of John Mason. It dlflfers from It, however, in the fact that
the history of tlie grants to Gorges has not boen tracfitl to a latter period than
the date of his d^ath. It U understood that in a work yet to appear, Mr. Bax-
ter may pursue the subject farther.
Volume I. contains a Memoir of Gnr^e!«» by the editor; and a copy of Gorges'
Brief Relation of the Discovery and l*lantation of New England, orijjinally
published in if\22 ; Volume II,, a reprint of Gorces' Brief Narration (or Descrip-
lion of New England, as ihn head linens give it), odfjinally i^iioed In 1658, the
charter of Maine, tlie Will of Gorgen and geneah^gical notes respecting: hia
family, documents pertaining to tin* history uf Maine and letters; and Voliime
III. is composed almost wholly of correspondence between Gorges and his
contemporaries.
It will be perceived that Mr, Baxter was rich in materials. He sought
•ssidnonsly for all that was to be found bearing upon ids snhject, In this country
and in England; and nothing that persevering inquiry, backed by ample pecu-
niary means could procure, ia wanting. Indeed It may almost be said that there
was an tmihtirrnH df rkhfSHe. for many of the letters contain no facts of conse-
quence, and serve to swell the bulk of the volumes. Of course, however, It
would be t45o much to expect tliat eorrenpondence obtained at such trouble and
cost should be omltt<"d from a worlv of this character.
Mr. Baxter has vindicated the nn^juory of Ferdinando Gorges, the grandson
of the patentee, from the suspicion of foisting upon the public tlie Wonder
Worliing l^rovidence of Edward John.son as the protluction of Sir Ferdinando,
in the collection of tracts issned in liiSO' under the title of America painted to
the Life. It was without «juestion a trick of the publisher^ who had on hand a
©umber of copies of Johuson*s work, which he hoped to sell by using this nn-
^firorthy artifice. The younger Gorges exposed the attempted deception by an
sement in the only newspaper of the time, of which the sole surviving
U now In the British Museunu
t is certainly a boon to hi«t<jrScal stndeuts to bring within the limits of three
hAnd.some volnnics an account of all the known arts and prodnctions of one
who was so grently instrumental in the early colonization ttf this country as was
Sir Ferdinando Gtjrges. Vni tlie part of the editor this has beeu a labor of love.
From his well known character for enterprise, liberality and accuracy, we may
feel Justified In believing that while nothing important pertaining to his subject
has been overlooked, so also no pains have becu spared to insure the avoidajice
asd exclu.slon of error.

BTibjcct in an exhaustive and impartial manner. Fourteen years ago he edited
for the Prince Society a volume entitled '* Voyages of the Northmen to America."
hich book was noticed tay us in July, 1877- In that work Dr. Slafter gives
lids readers all the facts concerning the discoveries by the Northmen in the
tenth and eU'venth centuries, preserved in the Icelandic Sagas, and in their own
words; with a critical examination of the evidence. The conclusion he then
arrived at was that though there is presumptive evidence that the Northmen
Tiatted these shores, no authentic traces of their residence here can be found.
He has not since found reason to change his opinion.
n the work before us the author gives a Incld statement of the historical
facts on the . subject which the Icelandic Sagas liave transmitted to our days.
He then gives an account of the manner In which the several namitives have
n preaened, at tlrsl. and for more than a century, as oral tniditions, and
afterwards as written documents, adding a critical estimate of their reliability
and value. Notice is taken of the old mill at Newport, the Dighton writing
rock» and the skeleton In annor. claimed as relics of the Northmen, but which
are shown to have no right to such & claim. The author arrives at tlds coo-

In the inre^tlgmtSoa of all earij histoTj, w« cannot doobt that the Northmea
made four or Ire voyages to the coast of America in the last part of the tenth
and the first part of the eleventh centnriee; Chat thef returned to Greenhmd
with cargoe<i of grapes and timber, the latter a very ralaable commodity in the
markets of 1x>th Greenland and Iceland ; that their abode on oar sbores waa
tempor&iT; that they were mostly occupied in explorations, and made no
preparations for establishing any permanent colony: except their temporary
dwellings tbey erected no stractnres whateyer, either of wood or of stone. We
have intimations that other voyages were made to this continent, bat no detailed
account of them has survived to the present time. These few facts constitute
th« substance of what we know of the Scandinavian discoveries. Of the de>
taUa we kDOW little; they are involved in indedniteness, uncertainty, and doubt.
The place of their di9t landing, the location of their dwellings, the parts of the
country which they explored, are so indefinitely described that they are ntterty
beyond the power of identification."

We continue tn this number our quarterly notices of recent genealoglcul pub-
lications.
The Tolume on the Mott family which heads our list is an elegant specimen
of this kind of Ijouk. It is handsomely printed on line paper, with nearly one
hnndred elegant illustratiouH, consisting of portraits, views, maps, fac-siinllest
etc. Several family documents are preserved in fac-simile, among them the
mardage certitlcat* of Adam Mott, Jr. and Phoebe Willet, 1731, ttitfned by them
and twenty-seven of tbeir friends as witnesses. Adain Mott, wliosc ancestors
and descendants in various lines are here given, wan born on Long Island, <.tct.
11, 17C2. The book, which proBerves much interesting genealogical matter, ia
well compih d and has a good Index.
The next book, the Champion Genealogy, is a neat and compact octavo,
prlntetl on tldn but durable paper with ample margins. The research has been
very thoro^viih. and we believe that every male line has been c^irried down to the
prei*ent Keneratlou. Beginning with the fourth generation it has been Mr.
Trowbridge's endeavor to carry female lines four generations. The genealogy
l8 well arranged and the biographic details are full. The indexes have some
Improvements by the compiler. Prefixed Is a tabular view of the heads of
families for the first five generations, which will be of fn'cat assistance in trac-
ing families. There is a valuable appendix. The illustrations, consisting of
portraltvH, news, etc., are numerous and Ctnc.
The Exelby Genealogy Is by Henry D. Eshelby, F,8.A., of Birkenhead,
Cheshire, England, an able antiquary and the honorary treasurer of the Historic
Society of Lancashire and Cheshire. The pedigree of this family Is traced
back to the conquest. Much lutere^jtlng genealogical and historical matter is
pfeserred in this handsome volume, which is illustrated by engravings and
tabular pedigrees. It is well indexed.
The next volume contains a memoir of Michael Hillegas, treasurer of the
Dnite<l States, I775-.89, who held other offices of tnisL He was born at PhOa^
delphia, April 22, 1729, and died there Sept. 2t), 1S04. He was a son of Michael
and Margaret HillejEjas, natives of Gennany. His great-granddaughter, Mrs.
Whitney, of Potts ville. Pa., has In this book furuislied a fitting bioij:raphy of
him, with a full genealogy of his def^ccndants. It has a valuable appendix and
a good index. It Is handsomely printed and is embellished with a flue portrait
>of Mr- Uillegaa.
The Thompson Genealogy contains all the genealogical matter contained in
the book of Ignatius Thompson, published In 1841, which is one of the rarest
of the rare genealogies which bring gi'eat prices. It also coutains a great deal
of matter collected from various sources by Mr, Thompson of Lansing, who
has rearranged the whole on the Regis teu Plan. The compiler deserves credit
for the manner In which he has performed his labor. The book is well printetl,
Illustrated by portraits and ha^ full indexes.
Tlie Plumb volume is devoted to the descendants of Jobn Plumb, an early
■ aettler of Wethersfleld, Ct. It is well compiled and well printed.
The Eberhart volume, besides a good genealogical account of the Eberharts
of Genoany and the United States, has au '* autobiographical sketch of the
author, including many reminiscences of ministerial and army life." It is an
interesting and valuable book.
The next volume Is devoted to the descendants of Samuel Amea of Canter-
bury, N. H., whose father, Daniel Ames, settled, in 1714, in tlmt part of Exeter
now Newmarket. The book Is well compiled, with an index, and makes a hand-
aorae volume.
The Robinson Genealoify is by Mr. Edward D. Harris of New York city,
whose genealogical work in known to be thorough and reliable. William Woh-
IxiBon, bom 1707, was a great-grandson of William Robinson, au early settler of
Dorchester, and his wife ilnuo Trott was descended from Elder Thomas
Trottof Dorchester (See REaiSTKB, vol. 4S, page 79). The ancestors and de-
BGeodaots of this couple are well set forth in this compllatiou. A table shows
their ancestors.
■ The Guild pamphlet is devoted to the ancestors, and not to the descendants,
of the persons named on the title-page, who were the grandparents of the com-
piler. The plan is to begin with the earliest ancestor in each name and give a
record downward in a single line. Four tabular charts at the end show at a
glance the various lines of descent.

The next pamphlet is the flfth number of Mr. Dudley's praiseworthy History
of tlie Dacltcj Family. Aa an extra Dumber has prcviousty been lit»ned, six
riLimibers or over GOO pages have really been published. This part, like the pre>
k.Tlou8 issues noticed by us, bs dcroted to the ^nealogy, biography and history
fof the various* families of Dudley. Mr. Dudley ha-* been engaged for over forty
yeant in collecting materials for this book. We trust that those interested will
send In sub.scriptions to him, that he may be encouraged to continue the pab-
Ucation.
The Whittemore pamphlet contains an account of the Whitteraore family of
Hitchin, Uerts, EnKlaud, and a brief account of other families. The emigrant
ancestor of the American family was Thomas Wliitlem ore of the llltchlu family,
who settled in Charlestown, probably as early as 1642. The reader will tind
much valual>le matter here besides the geoealogical portion, which traces many
descendants of Thomas of Charlestown.
Mr. Lorimr's pamphlet contains a genealo|[?ical account of his ancestors and
their near ki^d^ed^ beHides other genealogical matter of iuterest-
Thc next pamphlet by Mr. Williams of Bethlehem, Fenn., ^ves four genera-
tions of the descendants of Robert Williams, who came in ir>37 from Norwich,
England, and settled in Roxbury. The compiler of tliis work has obtained new
evidence alM>ut t!ie family in Norwich since he contributed the article to the
Register, vol. 44. pp. 211-12. This will appear in a full genealogy of the
family upon which Mr. Williams has been engaged for many years. The pam-
phlet is reprinted from the Magazine of New-England History.
The Sawyer [>amphlet is a new edition^ enlarged and corrected, of the article
contributed by Mr. Appleton to the Rrgistkr for April, 1874.
The Ball pamphlet gives the descendants of Edward Ball, who settled oni
Block Islaiiil as early as 1G7S. The compiler, Mr. Nicholas Ball of Block]
Island, R- 1, im a UeHcendant in the sixth generation. Ue has performed liiA
task in a creditable manner.

HON. FREDERICK BILLINGS, A.M., LL.D.
By Re\% Beshv Allen Hazkx, D.D., of Auburndale» Mass.
Mr. Billings was a inember of our Society only two years » be-
ing elected in October, 1888 ; it may be doubted whether he ever
attended our meetings, and personally, he was knoAvn to few of our
membere. But, if intelligent and hearty interest in the work of
the Society, manifested In substantial form, amid the labors of a busy
life, constitute a claim to remembrance in the Register, euch record
18 his due.
Frederick Billings was the son of Oel and Sophia ( Wetherbe)
Billings, and was born in Royalton, Vt., Sept. 27, 1823, The
family is traced through fifteen generations, to John Billing of
Rowell, who took Ijis name from the place of his abode, about four
miles from the borough of Northampton, England.* His eldest eon
was Sir Thomas Billing, and the Hue descends thus: Nicholas',
John*, William*, Roger% Richard'. William", William% William'%
Joseph'^ Billings, Samuer*, John^^ Gel'*. Willtam' was the
emigrant ancestor. He was married in Dorchester, February 12,
1657-8, and removed to Stonington, Conn., where he became one
of the largest proprietore. Samuel" was killed in the defence of
Fort Griswold, when the Britiiih, led by Benedict Arnold, in 1781,
burned New London. John", after a term of service in the Revo*
lution, sold his Connecticut lands, and settled in Royalton, Vt. ,
where he became a leading citizen of that young town. His wife
was Olive, daughter of James Noble, of New London ; eleven
children were born to them, of whom the eighth was Oel^ born
April 18, 1778* Oel Billings became a merchant in Royalton ;
but in 1835, when Frederick was 12 years old, he removed to
Woodstock, where he died November 19, 1871 ; his wife having
died May 1, 1^70, Mr. Billings was the fourth of nine children,
six sons and three daughters, of whom five are living.

The Woodstock of Mr, BIUmg8*s earlj c3njs was a very notable
town, most worthy of the love ami loyahy which were »o deeply en-
graved on hia heart, Few towns in Vermont » or the worlds ure
m<vre beniitifut for ai(un(ioa* Nestled in tlie pictureeque valley of
the OUnqufsche, with Alt, Tom and other high hill^ surrounding,
iti viewi of hill and dale, raendow nnd forej^t, can never be forgotten
by its fortunate inhabitants, roam they ever so far. Drawn by
these and other attractions, the men and women who had made their
homes in Woodstock, and gave it character, were a moat notable
galaxy. Among thera were such men a* Charles Marah, and his
iUiistrioua eon George P., eo long a member of Congress and our
first niinieter to Italy ; Jacob Collamer, U, S. Senator and poet mas-
ter general ; Andrew Tracy ; O. P. Chandler; Norman Williama ;
Peter T. Wash bum ; Dr. Thomas E» Powers; Titus Hutchinson;
Drs. Gallup and Palmer, whose lectures made the Medical School
famoiis in its day » Rev. Walter Chnpin ; Nathan Gushing and the
Danajs. One who knew little of the town recalls easily tliese names.
In sueh tjurruundtnga Mr. Billings received his youthful im[>re&8iona
and inspirations. He ranked well, and waa popular among his
school- urates, having an easy facility of acquisition and expre&sion.
In 183*J he entered Kimball Union Academy, and, in 1840, went
to Burlington^ Vt., where he was graduated from the University of
Vermont in 1844. He then read law with Hon* Oliver P. Chandler,
andj in 184(i, was api^ointed by Gov. Horace Eaton secretary of
civil and military affairs, a place he held for two years.
An older sister, Laura, had married Capt. Bezer Simmons of
New Bedford, who had made several whaling voyages to the Pacific ;
and, early in 1^49, Mr. Billings yielded to the persuasions of Capt.
Simmons and his wife, and accompanied them to San Francisco ; his
sister, however, contracted a fever on the Isthmus, and died soon
after they reached their destination. Here the young lawyer found
the golden moment of opportunity open to him. The new El Dorado
was just revealing her treasures to the world, and the tide was turn-
ing swiftly to her shores.
Mr. Billings opened the first law office in San Francisco, and his
scholarly abilities were of that high order which commands success.
The firm of Halleck, Peachy, Billings & Park took first rank.
Trenor W. Park became after widely known as a successful business
and railroad financier, and Gen. Halleck brought to the firm his
West Point training and great ability, which, when the war came,
made him General in Chief of the army.
"The law firm was dissolved in 1861, on Mr. Billings's going to Eng-
land in company with Gen. Fremont upon business connected with the
General's great Mariposa estate. Mr. Billings was an influential and
earnest actor in the exciting events of the formative period in the history
of California, and active in the various movements for the establishment of
law, order and the institutions of education, religion and civil government,
through which the new State became a stable Christian commonwealth.
1891.] Fredenck Billings, 201
He was especially active JD «lefeating the conapirat^rs who enfleavored
to detich California from the Union at the outbreak of the civil war* and
in compauy with Starr King, he made a tour of ihe 8tate* in behalf of the
National cause, everywhere electrifying the audlenceK which asseiuhled lo
hear them \\y his patriotic appeals. Althou^jh ho was an uniiHiially
impressive speaker and peculiarly fitted fur a public career, Mr. liilliugs
never cared to enter political lile. He accepted the resfjonBible position of
Attorney General of Culifornia, bat held no other political office, although
often pressed to t^ike Dominations ior wnch oltices durin;; his residence in
Sttii Francisco. After the re election of President Lincoln, and while he
was recoustrucling his cabinet for his second ternji the California delegation
in Congress urgeii upon him the propriety of giving California a reprt'&eut-
ative in the new cabixiet, and unaiiimouislv recomiuended Mr. Billings for
the place. Only two days before I^Ir. Lincoln was assassinated he gnve
assurances to a member of the delegation th»t their request would he com-
plied with. After Mr. Lincoln*8 death, the Legislature of California, then
in session, iiitanimouHly passed a reBolution rerjuesting Preeident Johnson
to appoint Mr. Billings to his cabinet as a rejiresentative of the Pacific
coast. These facts attest the high estimation in which Mr. Billings was
held by the people of California at the time when he left that State to
settle down in his old home in Vermont"
Mr. Billinue waa mnrrieJ March 31, 1862, to Julia, daughter of
Dr. Eleazer Purrnly of New York city, where «he waa born December
8, 1835. Their children are: (1) Parmly, born in San Fnincif*co»
February 6, 1863, graduated from Amherst Collcjre 1884, nnd died
May 7, 1888; (2) Laura; (3) Frederick; (4) Mary Montague;
(5) Elizabeth; f<>) Khrick, l»orn October 17, 1872, died Oct. 17,
1889; (7) Kiclmrd.
Soon after hia marriage, Mr. BiIHngg ''closed up his business in
San Francisco, and, after a period spent in forei^rn traveU lie re-
turned in 18<i4 to Woodstock to make Ida home there. In 1800 he
purchased the Marsh estate, comprising the homeetead of the late
Charlea Marsh, the father of George P. Mar«h» which occupied the
most beautiful and conspicuous site in that beautiful village. !Mr.
Billings twice almost wholly reconstructed the mansion, and in the
words of the historian of the town of Wuods^tock, 'he went on
making additions nnd improvements, till at length in the extent of
territory, in the variety and orderly arrangement of the various parta
of ibis wide domain and in the convenience and elegance of the
buihlings erectod thereon, his home on the bill came to resemble one
of the baronial eeitatcs of the old world » and is not surpassed in
thej*e respects, and in bcjuity of situation, by any similar establish-
ment in New England.'" Butlii^ pctsilitm in the business world had
become too commanding to permit tiie quiet enjoyment of his Wood-
stock home.
His life in California had enlisted bin intcrent in trans-continental
railways, and es|»ecially in the Nortberu Pacitic ; and when the
failure of Jay Cooke threw that great enterprise into Hnancial straits,
he was led to devote his skill and resources to its rescue. This he
2B2 Frederick BilUngs, fOft.
(liiU and the successful completion of this vast railway was more
largely due to his persevering wiadarn than to any other man. Such
occupation made it necessary for him to live much in New York,
where lie had a pleasant winter home on Madison Avenue.
Mr. Billings belon^^ed to the clasa of men who are conetantly
reaching after new and larger worlds to conquer. Ue had a natural
affinity with frrent enterprises, and, during his last years, he had be-
come one of the promoters of the great ship canal through Lake
Nicaraugmi. lie recognized the importance t>f such a highway from
ocean to ocean, bringing the Atlantic and Pacific slopes of America
into closer connection. His interest in it^ like that which he had
felt in the Northern Pacific, was that of a statesman, and when it is
completed his name must be rc*membcred in its history. He was
also a director or trustee in the American Exchange National Bank,
the Farmer *8 Loan & Trust Co., the Delaware Cc Hudson Canal
Co., the Manhattan Life Insurance Co., the ^laniiattan Savings
Institution, tlie Presbyteriun Hospital, the Hospital for Kuptiired
and Crippled (all of New York city) ; the Connecticut Itiver Rail-
road Co., the Vermont Valley & Sullivan County Railroads, the
Connecticut & Pasaumpsic and the Rutland Railroad companies.
He was president of the Woodstock Railway Co. and of the Wood-
stock National Bank.
Mr. Billings avoided the peril to which too many great busineet
men become victims ; he was not the slave of his business. To the
amenities of literature and of life his heart was always open ; and
every good work seeking honestly to better men's character or con-
dition found in him a true friend. He never lost the vital freshness
of a true Christimi character, and shared in Jonathan Edwards's keen
interest in all tliat related to the progress of God's kingdom in the
world. Of the illustrations of these statements a few only can be
given. His alma ma/er held his continued interest in most practical
ways. They culminated after the death of his townsman, George
P. Marsh, at Rome, in the acquisition of his valuable library* rich
in philological treasures beyond any other in this country, of which
he made a gift to the Univer:?ity. Then this library must be suitably
housed, and Mr. Billings proceeded, in his own munificent way, to
erect a library Imilding, designed by the great architect Richardson,
which, with a later addition, is one of the finest in the land. The
College, the State and the Country must always be indebted to him
for this great Ijenefaction. To Amhert*t College he gave, as a
memorial of his son Parmly who died soon aflcr his graduation,
a fund of $.^0,000, and a siniilar sum to Mr, Moody's school for
boyi^ at Northfield, Mass., in memory of his son Eihric.
He was a corporate member of the American B<jard of Commis-
eioners f(>r Foreign Missions, elected in 187<J, and took deep and prac-
tical interest in its world-wide labora, as well as in home missions.
The town on the Northern Pacific which bears his name received the
4
Ulings.
I
gift of a churcli, aa the symbol of his interest in ita highest welfare.
And the church in Woodetcick, as well a^ tlie " brick " Preshyteriun
church in New York* found hira a wise and constant friend. He
never was weary of putting his love for tliem into practical forms.
The par^onnge and the chapel of the Congregational Church in
Woodstock are both appropriate expressions of this love ; and the
last public work of hie life was a reconstruction of the "Old
White Meeting House," which may fitly stand as his monument.
This reconstruction preserves, with devout care, the historic identity
— the ohl frame and shape, adding only such improvement and ornu-
ment as harmonize, and the completed work is a beautiful archi-
tectural home for generations of worshippers. Another thoughtful
and public-spirited work for hia townsmen was the tranforniation of
^It. Tom into a henutiful forest park, with more than five miles of
well built roadway, where the people may seek health and pleasure
amid the most charming surroundings.
Another monumental work which he secured for Woodstock was
the fine "History'* of the town, published in 1888. The author
was his life long friend, Henry Swan Dana. The vohime is an
octavo, of 641 pages,, printed at the Riverside Press, and is one of
the finest town histories yet publislied of any Vermont town.
After some months of lingering disease, borne with manly forti-
tude and Christian resignation, Mr. Billings died at his home in
W^oodstock, September 30, ISDO. From the address at his funeral,
by President ilatthew H. Buckham of the University of Vermont,
some extracts must be given. With allusion to his text (2 Samuel
lii, 31), " Know ye not that there is a prince and a great man fallen
this day in Israel ? " the speaker proceeds :
"Eulogy will have fitting place on some other occasion. Ami rarely
has eulogy a worthier theme than tlmt occasion will furnish. Many voices

utterance to those feelings of admiration, of gratitude, of love, which both
nature and religion encourage in tis; and then as Chnstiana, with Christian
submission, and faith, and hope, to lay his body by the bodies of hia parents,

me speak. And tliough, as one said of old, it is hard to tet limits to our
feeling for such a man, I &hall hope not to offend that gentle and modest
spirit whose presence is all about us lo-day/'
**I note this princely character first in hits endowments. In bts intel-
lectualt his emotioualf his moral, hi^ executive qualities, he was a gifted
man, and his gifts were of the large and royal kind* He was not only
largely gifted, but moat happily gifted, with those diverse and related gifts
which at once enhance and stipplemeut each other, and together make a
man whom other men can at once admire and love. Entering college
some years after he had graduated, I found the fame of him still fresh in
college tradition, the fame of his scholarship, his oratory, hi* popularity, his
intellectual and social leadership. Of the great men of tlione times, — and
no American college then had greater, — Wheeler and fllarsh, and Torrey
and Benedict, — ^youthful as he was, he was almost as niuch the companion
as the pupil, and especially enjoyed the contidential friendship of that chief
of teachers, James Marsh. Everybody who knew him in those early days
foresaw his brilliant career. What direction it would take uo one knew.
It would not have surprised anyone to have it prophesied of him that be
would be a 1 eliding advocate, or an enaineut statesman, a preacher of corn*
manding inHuence, a literary celebrity — or what he actually became, &
magnate in the world of business — but that somewhere, m whatever field
he might occupy himself, he would be a king of men, everyone foreknew*
You will all agree with me that Mr. Billings had great emotional giftft.
He was richly endowed in the region of the affections. He had the Capac-
ity for deep and strong love for kindred, for friends, for good men and
women, for home, and country, and God. His susceptibilitieB were quick
and tender. He was easily stirred to enthusiasm by the sight or the
thought of anything noble or lovely ; and corre*«pondingly intense was his
power of indignation against anything unworthy or wrong. Herein lay the
secret of his marvellous oratory. Probably no man that our state has ever
produced, and few men of our time, had such power to rouse and move and
away the hearts of an audience as Mr. Billings had.
Mr. Billings was great and princely also in his activities and enterprises.
Most men soon come to the Umtt of their abilities. Up to a certain point
they grow with their occupation and succeed in it. But sooner or later
there comes a time when the event, the complication of business, the case in
court, the monetary crisis, is too large for the man and ruins him. Then
it is that the great man shows himself. He grows with events and always
outgrows them. By dint of struggling with a great enterprise be becomes
great in capacity and power. Numerous and towering obstacles which
daunt other men rouse and hearten him. Continental enterpiises can be
carried through only by men who have, so to speak, continental abilities.
Such abilities without room for question Mr, Billings possessed. Of the
great projects in the business world with which he was connected, and in
which his part was always that of the daring and masterful executive head
and will, it is not in place now to speak. But it is ^qt^ siguilicant that
having signalized his business career by carrying to substantial completion
a great transcontinental railway, he should in his last years have become
deeply interested in the latest project for an interoceanic canal, and have
wghed because he was not still in his 40th or 5Uih year, that he might have
pushed that also to a successful result. What such a man might have
accompli.she<l in aouie of the innumerable possibilities which still await the
man of power to conceive and execute, if he could have hod 20 years more
Frederick BUlingt. 265
of physical vigor, the vigor whicb other men of the same ago will have to
speud upon trivialities, it almost takes away one's breath to imagine.
Again, BIr. Billings wafl princely, yes, royal in his munificence. This
also has In-en said of him a thousand times, and is for that reason the more
impressive when we say it here to-day* And though many and many
others may say* and do say, this of him, none have a better reason for say-
ing it than you and I — than I, who say it daily with gratitude to God whose
special grace it is that makes one the liberal and cheerful giver whom the
Lord lovetli and whom all men love. A noble gift, a gift more lienign and
beautiful in every feature and aspect of it than that which Mr. Billings has
made to his alma naater, no most affectionate and devoted son ever made
or could make. And you, m order to be reminded of his munificence, you
I have only to look around you. This church and the adjoining chapel, hia
I Bpontaneous and unsolicited gift to this church, — his offering rather to
I filial piety and tlie worship of God and the saving gospel of Jesus Chnst,—
j this tells you better than any words can tell, in language through which he
being dead yet speakelh and will long S[>eak to you, what a joy he liad m
I giviiig and spending that others may be helped and lifted up and saved.
j But his was not only the munificence that f»oured out its bounty in splendid
I largesses here and there, his also was the hand that scattered benefits every
I day like the gentle rain upon the place |->eneath. Not the fewest in num-
1 ber, nor the least sincere of those who mourn to-day, will be those whose
prayer for daily bread ha« been answered through Mr, Billings's thoughtful
and watchful kinduess.
He was greut a!so in his humility. I am dispose*! to say that to those
who knew liim well he never seemed so great as in hia humility. We all
know that humility never seems bo charming aa iu a man of power, when,
in scripture phrase, such a man is clothed with humility, when he seeks to
hide self behind it» unobtrusive drapery. There is a modesty which
knows its worth but shrinks from exposing it to the common gaze. There
is a true humility which in its lofly appreciation of trauscendant merit, sets
a low estimate on itself and all its belonging. This deep humility was that
of Mr. Billings. His standard was the higliest His appreciation of ex-
cellence was po keen and so discriminating, in literature, in art, in learning,
iu statesmanship, above all in character, that he could not do otherwise
than set before him the mark of a high calling and judge liimself thereby.
But Mr. Billings's idealism, while it made him severe with himself, did not
and could not make him severe with others. In estimating others he was
the most generous of men. It waa beautiful to witness him in the same
breath disparaging himself and commending others. I appeal to his neigh-
bors and townsmen, to those who have regularly or from time to time
stood in this pulpit, to any who have worked with him or for him — was
t ever praise heartier than Itis? Waa appreciation ever so genuine, so grati-
^K fying afi was his? But this man, from whom a word of praise outweighed
^1 idl that otht^r men could say, would sit in his library with bowe<l head and
^V iDoi»t eyes and tell himself what a failure he was, how (^>oor were the
^f saccesses for which mtw admired and envied him, how much more ad-
' mirable and enviable wa^ the lot of some poor country minister whose
work and whose life helped men toward heaven, and how different a man
he would try to be, and how different a life he would lead, if he could only
I begin all over again.
And now it only remains to say that Mr. Billings was a prince in hia
faith. It is characteristic of a large-minded and large-heartetl man to have
266 FrtdeHch BillifigB. [Oct.
a large ^11 faith id truth, lu goodness, io good men aod moat of all io God.
A timid, distrustful, euBpicious spirit, which cballeugdft every (ippeot to ita
coiitidence, and guards every conceasioa with minute and elaborate and
subtle reservations, — such a temper beloDgs to feeble souls and small
natures* A true man is faithful to big own trusts, and that makes it easy
for him to believe that other men are faithful and that God is siupremely
faithful. For what is religious faith but believing that God is faithful and
committing one*s soul to him in well doing as unto a faithful Creator? I
am tjot sure that Mr. Billings's faith iu Go<l was uuiuternipted and serene*
Indeed, I believe that God's discipline does not attain \H highest beue-
fioence without briugiog one's faith sometimes to that (>oiut of tension at
which doubt begins. But I am sure that out of every such trial his faith
became stronger and purer and simpler. He must have often rememl>ered
his own question to Ehrich as to what he thought about during hi* lonely
and sleepless hours, and the heroic reply of the little philosopher that he
thought ^ about the problems of life/ and the cheerful faith which prompted
him to write on the margin of a magazine which had been left with him,
'the future is all right,' and have prayed that he might have the child's
faith. And we believe that he did have it; that this long perioil of bodily
disability and mental clearness helped him to attain to a higher degree of
it; that sutfering, instead of obscuring, served to brighten and refine it;
and that, in his last days, as never before, he humbled himself and became
as a little child, and entered into the Kingdom of Heaven with a child's
unquestioning, unreserved, contented faith. And so this energetic, un-
tiring spirit, which esteemed '* nothing doue if ought remained to do,"
which was inclined to blame itself first if there was a failure anywhere,
settled calmly down into that confiding acquiescence which knows in whom
it believes, and that he is able to keep that which is committed to him, aud
rests itself aud all dear to it, lovingly m the arms of God."
"We may conclude this notice with extracts from a private letter,
written by his New York pastor, Henry J. Van Dyke, 1^,1)*
" Few people realized how large and niany-pided a man he waa.
Providence directed his life into a certain practical chatinel, into
which he threw himself with such intense energy and marked ability,
that his name became identified with the rescue of the Northern
Pacific llailroad from ruin, and its successful completion. But even
in this enterprise he was much more than a railroad man. He
thought of it as a great cause, esaeutial to the development of the
nation, and full of good for future generations. And, while he
worked for it, his sympathies did not grow narrow, but broader and
deeper, going out towards all things good* In art he had a natural
taste which led him to choose pure and sweet aud wholesome pic-
tures. I shall always remember the pleasure with which he showed
me Boughton*s ' Return of the Mayflower ' when it was first hung
in his sitting-room. It eeeraed to him to express that which was
finest in the Puritan spirit, softened and glorified by the touch of
love.
^ In his gifts to hospitals and colleges, and above all to the church,
he was princely; not because lie gave largely, ihoogh he did that;
not because he gave carelessly, for that he never did ; but because
1"

I
1891.] Letters of Coh TTiomas We sibrook and others, 267
he gave a« one who had the good cause at heart ; because he made
it his own cause ; because he sought tlie honor and welfare of the
kingdom, as a prince should do.
"His will was powerful. His feelings were quick and strong* In
such a man there was necessarily a capacity for great indignation.
But he could forgive as generously as he could fight bravely. I have
seen him do the two beautiful things, — ask pardon for an offence
which was not Ins own, and grant pardon for a wrong which had
been committed against him without excuse. His love was stronger
than his an<^er. There was a fountain of manly tenderness in the
granite of his nature. He once told me that his idea of unhappiness
was 'not to love.'
"It was beautiful, as the end of his life drew near, to see how full
and clear the waters of affection flowed from his heart. The spring
did not fail, hut grew brighter and more abundant. And hia Chris-
tian faith was that of a little child.
''He often regretted that Providence had not made the way clear
for him to enter the ministry, as he wished to do in liis youth. But
I am sure that God knew best where He wanted His strong servant
to labor, and crowned liia works at last with the ' Well done, good
and faithful servant.' "

stop, but they uot knowing what he said, still came ap» so that we fird a
great Gun at the Vessel, at which they stopt their Course and 80on after
fell down to the rest. The Indian told us he wanted we shou'd let that
Vessel come up above the Garrison, to which our Commander answer'd, he
wou'd Dot, telling them they were us'd to play the Rogue under a Flag of

find very good Quarters, as he had, if we sliou'd surrender y" Garrison, &
telling us that if we did not he was to Aye y' night. We told him we couM
DOt help it. The Indian ask'd when they might come again with their Flag
of Truce, whether they mi^ht not to-morrow. Our CommaiHi^, he cou'd
not tell, he thought once in a Week was enough. Whereupon they drew
off and made a lire tliat night a Quarter of a Mile from the Garrison.

they spread themselves about the Garrison and made an hideous Yelling,

give his Master to the value of five and twenty Pounds, which the Indian
took up with thinking the things mention'd amounted to five & fourty
Pounds which was their lowest Price. We put the things agreed on in the
Boat and sent one of our men with the Captive half way over the river ac-
cording to agreement, that they might receive their Pay, but they wou*d
not Venture but wou'd have our men go aboard the Scooner that lay about
a mile and an half down the river. We having gone as far as they agreed
to wou'd go no farther, and night coming on when we saw they wou'd not
come off we call'd to our men to come ashoar with the Boat, which they did,
telling the Indians to come next morning for their Pay. While the men
waited for them to come off in order to receive what was in the boat the
Indian that came on this side went over with the Coat wh*^** is all they have

neighborhood of Detroit; if now (1833) living, he is at the advanced age
of nearly 91 years.] His narrative continues:
In 1773, December 16, was in Boston, when the tea was thrown over-
board. Seventy-three spirited citizen volunteers, in the costume of Indians,
in defiance of Royal authority, accomplished the daring exploit. John
Hancock was then a merchant. My team was loaded at his store near
Faneuil Hall, for Amherst, N. H., and put up to meet in consultation at his
house at 2 o*clock P.M. The business was soon planned and executed. The

The above narrative is transcribed from an old time-worn manu-
script, re-copied by Mr, Gleason, in January, 1833, of which he say* :
" These notes were copied hastily many years since for personal 8ati»>
faction (he being a relative by marriage), but furnishing a memorial
of engagements, vicissitudes and events, so extraordinary, connected
with one human life, and some among the most important in our
national history, it is thought expedient to gratify anxious patriotic
friends with a transcript for publication," But, it is believed, tliey
have never been published. He suggests that there may possibly be
some mistakes of names or dates, which the reader is asked to ex*
cuse» if any are found. w. w. w.
CAPT. JOHN ELLIOTT, OF BOSTON, MASS., 171^.
Communicated by Isaac J, GasBKVooD, AJtf., of New York dty.
Dr. John Clark* the third, eminent not only as a RepreBeotative,
Speaker and Coimciilor, but eqaally so as a FhyRlcian^ and for the linn staQ4
which he took iti favor of inoculution, died in Boston, Dec. 5, 1728^ age B%
leaving all his property^ after a tew special devices, to hia five cbildren:
John, Mary Allin, Martha Elliott, Sarah (after wife of Prof. Isaac Green-
wood), ami ElizabeLli (afl^r wife of CoL Robert Hale), with the proviso,
that his daughter Elliott's portioti should be held in tni^t during the natural
life of her husband, John Elliott. The daughter, Martha Clark, b. June
26, bapt. June 30» 1706, at the Old North Church, was married by her
uncle, the Rev. Dr. C. Mather, April 13, 1725, to Mr. John Elliott of
Boston. The inventory of her effects, as widow Martha Elliott, taken to
1744, was sworn to April 5^ 1745, and her eon, Clark Elliott, sold in June,
1762, the property on Back St. (Salem St), which had come to hia mother
through the will of her father.
The writer was, for many years, unable to identify the John Elliott in
question, until a descendant, the Rev. John E. Elliott^ of Newington^
Couu., informed him that iu the summer of 1882, searching through a mass
of old papers in the garret of a house, formerly occupied by his uncle Clark
Elliott, he had found three documents of considerable interest, relative to
his ancestor, viz. :

Scotia, to John Elliot, in 1722, commissioning^ him to fommiiTid a naval force
for the protection of the fisheries of Canso, and tlie externuniitlon of pirates.
2. A petition from said Elliot, abont June, 172H, to Kiup Gc-orge II, » asking
for a certnin ortict', and referring to his eervlres for the King, viz.: a great
naval battle and si;Ljnal victory in 1722; a serious wound, etc.

sent them, nader the coniniand of Capt, John Eliot, of Boston, and John Hubin-
Bon^ of Cape Ann, in fjuest of the enemy. Elicjt, as he W88 ranglnji; the coasts
espied acven vesstdr^ in a harbor called Winncpaug, and concealwi all his men,
except four or tlve, until he came near to one of the vessels, which had About
forty Indians aboard, who were in expectation of another prize falling into
their hands. As noon as he was within hearing, they hoisted their pendants
and called out, Strike, English dogs, and come aboard, for you are all prisoners.
Eliot answered that he would make all the haste he could. Finding he made
no attempt to escape, they began to fear a tartar, and cut their cable with In-
tent to run ashore; bnt he was too tiulck for them, and immediately clapped
them aboard. For about half an hour they made a brave resistance, but, at
length, some of them jumping into the hold, Eliot threw his liaiid grenadoes
after them, which made such havoc, that all which renuiliied alive took to the
water, where they were a fair moi-k for the English shot. From this, or a like
action, probably took rise a common expres.slon among English soldiers and
sometimes English hunters, who, when they have killed an Indian, make tiieir
boast of having killed a black duck. Five only reached tlie shore.
Eliot received three Imil woimds, and several of the men were wounded and
one killed. Seven vessels* with several hundred fjulntals of llsh, and tlftecn of
tbe c^tives were recovered from the enemy. They had sent many of the
prisoners away, and nine they bad killed in cold blood. The Nova Scotia In-
dians had the character of being more savage and cruel than the other nations."
A similar account of the affair, drawu from New-Euglaud letters, dated
Aug. 20 th. apj>eared \n Boyer'a Political State of Great Britaiu, for Nov.
1722. Alluding to •* the great depredations committed by the ludiaiis, who
had surprised and taken several Vessels in the Harbors, and no leas than 12
off Aspoggin, 40 leagues to the westward" (meaning the remarkable cliff
of Aspotgoen, on the promontory that separates Mahone from Margaret*8
Bay), this account informs us, that Capt, Elliot "arrived at Canso the
last day of July, vt'ith his Colours flying, an Indian Blanket in form of a
bloody Flag, at the To[>-Mast Head, with the Head of their Cbiefest King
and Conucillor on his Ensign Staff, and another on his Jack Stiiff, and two
Scalps of those who commanded nnder them. The reason of their bring-
ing away no more Scalps was because the Indians threw their men over-
board as soon as killed."
Ellloit's consort, Capt. Robinson, who had become separated in a fog,
was likewise socces.tful in killing some of the enemy and in retaking two
yessels; five of them however, lying in the harbor of Merligtiasli (or Lunen<
borg), he was, owing to the superior number of the Indians, unable to
recover.

LETTER FROM JOHN HULOTT OF BARBADOS TO
GEORGE LITTLE OF NEWBURY, MASS., 1659.
[Commniiicated.]
Thk original of the following ktter k in the poaseesioxi of Mr.
Joseph Lie tie t Jr., of New bury » Mass., now living on the old Creorge
Little homestead. George Little ^ to whom the letter is addressed,
came from Unicom Street, London, to Newbury, Mass., in 1640.
He made numerous purchases of land both in Newbury and other
places. Several years after his arrival in Newbury, he married
Alice Poor, who sailed for New England in the Bevis in 1638.
He had five children. Joseph was nearly six years old, and John
nearly four, when this letter was written.
There is a tradition in the family of lands in Barbadoes deeded to
ancestors, and that two young men living in the neighborhood and
the deeds disappeared together, and the supposition was that they
represented themselves as being of the name of Little and took
possession accordingly. About twenty-five families of Geo. Little's
descendants, of the same name, are residents of Newbury, a number
of them living on land owned by him. The family living on the
homestead have members of the fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth
generations. For a fuller account of George Little and sixty-five
hundred of his posterity, see **The Descendents of George Little," by
George Thomas Little, A.M., published at Auburn, Me., 1882.

Admon granted 21 Dec, 1638— to Jotine Hoare the relict
I
Charles Tloare, of the City of Gloucester, England, died in 1G38. His will,
now for the first time printed, \& dated Bept, 25, 1G3S, Admiiilstratioii wna
granted at Doctorjji ConmicnhH to Joane Hoare the relict, Dec. 21, 163J3.
Charles Hoare was slierilTof the City of Gloucester In 1(534. Gloucester is a
county of itself , by grant of Etlward Tliird. In the llrst year of the reign of
BichaJrd Third the civil goveroinetit of Glnucc!*ter W!\» altered, and by cbwrter of
the same Klnjr it was ordained that, instead of Bailiffs, a Mayor with two Sheriff!*
and otlKT olllct'rs should he annually elected by tfie twelve Aldermen and
•* twelve other of the most legal and discn^ct Burgesses. " (Foabrooke's "' Glnu-
ceater," p. 4H.) Charles Hoare waa aldennan of the City from 1G32 to 1638.
and perhaps earlier. In the Calendar of State Papers for l(>3^)-7 Is a petition
signed by him that sundry eipenaes Incurred lu collecting shlp-raoaey may be
allowed out of the funds in the hands of the sherilTft, and the remainder paid
over *' to the now Mayor and Sheriff^."
**Good Mr. Workman, our fitUhful watchman,** mentioned in the will, is John
Workman, a native of Gloucestershire, whose persecution by Archbishop Laud
was, according to Laud Mmself , Insisted upon more than any other charge at
the trial of that prelate. Workman, for certain expressions against tlie use of
bnageji or pictures in churches, and certain expressions against '* mixed
dancing/' was brought before the high commission at Lambeth, suspended from
the office and function of the ministry, excommunicated, required to make restl"
tutlon, condenioed in costs of suit, and cast into prison. Mr. Workman after-
ifrard taught a school to provide for his nnmerous fandly. Laud heard of this,
and pr«.»hlbited him from teaching children. Workman then began to practise
physic, but soon after died in great poverty. The Corporation of Gloucester in
1633 granted him an annuity of £20* For this the Mayor, the Town Clerk, and
several of the Aldenuen were brought before the Comicil, and prosecuted in the
High Commission Court. Mr. Hoare was doubtless one of the offending Alder-
men. (BrfHik*s "ruritaus," 2: 434.)
Charles Hoare was the son of Charles Iloare who died in Gloucester in 1G36.
His son Thomas wiLs baptized In the Church of St. Mary tie Crypt, lo June. 1613,
The old vault bearing the name " Jloare"' is still to be seen under that church.
Xilttte more is known v^ith cert.ainty of his pedigree. On the gravestone of
his daoghter Margaret, and her husband, Rev. Henry Flynt, in the burying-
ground at Qnincy, it is said that they were Ixjth descended from ancient and
good families in England. In the Harleian MS. in the British Mnsenni, No.
1543 to 54, is the visitation of the County of Gloucester, by Robert Cooke
Clareneienx Kin^ at Arms, enlurtjed with the visitation of the same county In
11523. It contains on one page the arms of Hore of Gloucestershire, but there
la no pedigree. The arms are an eagle displayed with two heads within a
bordure engrailed. They seem to be the same with those borne by many families

The will of Richard Hoare, of the parish of St. John the Baptist in the City
of Gloucester, gentleman, dated Aug. 4* 1618, bequeathes eighteen diflbrent
houses In the city or county. He was sheriff in 1014. This Richanl also by in-
denture established a trust, still in exlsience, by which 53 s. annually are paid to
the poor.
All the children named In the will of Charles Hoare came to this country with
their mother, Joanna, in 1639 or '40, except Thomas. He was probably the
eldest. It is very likely that he was the son of another wife, and had laeen es-
tablished in business, or was to inherit lands as the eldest son. He is not in-
cluded in the '• Ave children now with me" mentioned in the father's will, nor
is he alluded to in the wlU of his brother Leonard. The name of Thomas Hoar
appears among the early settlers in old Norfolk, Massachusetts, and also In
Gloucestershire. But the identity of either of these persons with the son of
Charles Is not established.
Joanna, the widow, died in Braintree, Sunday. Dec, 20* 1661. She is burled
In the old Quiocy burial-ground with her son Leonard and his wife and daughter,
near the graves of her daughters Mrs. Flynt and Mrs. Qnincy. She Is the ances-
tress of many pen?on>i who have been eminent in the history of the country.
Banlel returned to England, where he engaged extensively In trade with the
colonies. Oct. 2, IfioO, he was licensed by the Council of State " to export to
New England 3W bLrding fowling pieces and muskets upon good security that
they will not be used to the prejudice of the Commonwealth." He was in Boston
in 1653, where he executes a power of attorney to John Hull and John Hoare,
and describes himself as of Boston, New Eofjland. II Js son John, then a child,
was In New England in 167r>, under the care <jf his uncle Leonard and his aunt. '
John settled In Scltuateand aftenvard in Concord. He rescuetl Mrs. Rowland-
son from captivity in 1C7C, protested vigorously against the evil treatment of
the Indiana in his day, and had very tincomfortablc relntions xvith the authorities.
Margery appears from her father's will to have been the widow of n person
named Malthewe, and to have had a son named Charles Mutthewe. Tht're was
a family of that name near Frampton upon Severn and near the hundred of
Slymbrklgc, where Charles Hoare appears to have held land-s. She married the
Rev. Henry Flynt of Braintree, and died March 10, 1087. Her epitaph states;
"She was a gentlewoman of piety, prudence, and peculiarly accomplished for
Instructing young gentlewomen." She is pleasantly commemorated by her
descendant, Tresldeut John Quincy Adams, la his discourse at Braintree, Aug
24, 1839. ^
Joanna became the wife of Col. Edmund Qulnc3^ Leonard was the flrst gmd-
nate of Ilnrvard College to become Us preskleut. He t*>ok the degree of Doctor
of Medicine in England, was settled as a clergyman in Wanstead in Essex, and
was ejected for non-conformity about 1G62. It is understood thnt Sir Matthew
Hale, %vho was of Gloucestershlrii origin, strongly befriended Dr. Hoar. He
deliveretl two sermons on the occasion of the death of Lady Anne, wLfe of Sir
Henry Mildraay, of Wanstead. She was the daus^hterof Sir Leonard Holiday,
Knight and Altlerraan, of London, and diet! March 12, 165G. There were at
least nine considerable branches of the Mlldmay family in Essex about the Ume
of the colonization of New England. One of thet*e was nearly related to the
Winthrops. Agnes Winthrop, widow of Adam, the fli-st John Winthrop's grand-
father, married Wni. Mildmay, Esq., of Springfleld Barnes, and her eldest
daughter, Alice Winthrop, subsequently married Thomas Mildraay. the son of
her mother's second husband. Mr. Henry Mildmay (ilrst cousin of Governor

Wlnthrop) held the mftnor of Little Badow, where HookcT taught n school, with
John Eliot for his uaher. Thiii Sir Henry marrit-d a dniiiihter of Brampton
GardoTi, of Assino^o, sear Groton in SuUolk, an old friend and nei;^ij,t>or of the
Winthrops.
Sir Henry Mildmay, of Wanatead, was the son of Sir Ilomphrcy of Danbury,
and second cousin to Sir Henry of Graces. He was patron of the living In
Wanatead. After the Ke«toratioa Sir Henry's estates were forfeited to the
Crown. He was one of the Kind's jndge.s, and his manor at Wanstead was
givea by Charles II* to liis brother^ the Duke of Yorlt.
Leonard Hoards wifCt Bridget, was the daughter of -John Lisle* the regicide^
who was murdered at Lausanne by Royallats. Her mother. Lady Alice Lisle,
became the victim of Jt^ffii-ey's "* bloody assize." She wa^ beheaded in the court-
yard at Winchester in HjB'i. She was convicted ut nilj^prLsion of treason for
giving food and shelter to two fugitives from Moiiinontli's arm j, although she
protested her innocence^ and It was a plain violation of law to convict berwith-
ont first convicting the persons whom she was charged with havhig aided. Her
attainder was reversed on the petition of Mr;*. Bridijet Hoar and her sister
Trypheiia Grove, by act of ParUameDt in the reign of WlUiain anci Mary. Bridget
Hoar bud two dangbters. One, Trypliena* who died in infancy, is buried at
Braintree in the same grave with her parents and her grandmother Joanna. The
other marrie<l tlie Kev. Tbos. Cotton of London, whose descendants were living
In England at tlie close of the last century, and probably are living there now.
The pedigree is given by M^r. Waters in one of liis Gleanings. (See liEGiSTEB^
1885, p. 6.1.) Leonard* Hoar's wife Bridget was married again, to Ucieklah
Usher. The marriage was an anhappy one. Mrs. Usher left Mm, and went to
England in IftM?, and did nut retiiro until afler his death in l(ll>7.
rresl<k'nt Hoar seems to have been a very able man. In the letter to hia
friend Uobert Boyle he was the first person to saggest the modern technical edu-
cation. He was a friend of Master Samuel riartlib, to whom Milton addressed his
celebrated tractate. None of the w^riters on New England history seem to have
understood fully the canse of Dr. Hoar's failure in the presidency of Harvard
College, which seems to have broken his heart, altliough it did not destroy the
interest of his family in the coilege, of which his grandson, the Rev. Mr, Cotton,
was aftenvard a generous benefactor. Dr. J. Hammonii Trumbull thinks that Dr.
Hoar's diftlculties were ciue to the fact that soon alter his arrival be connected
himself with the new Third Church in Boston, then recently gathered by sece-
ders from the First, who were Synodlsts or advocates of the ha!i-way covenant,
thereby bringing hJmself into marked opposition to the Governor^ a consider-
able number of the magistratea, all the conservative clergy, and the more In-
fluential memlicrs of tlie Corporation of Harvartl; and this at a time when (says
Coitou Mather) " the whole people of God thronghout the Colony were too
much distinguished into such as favored the Old Church and such as favored
the New Church. (Magn. ti : 83.)
The names of the numerous descendants in this country of Charles and Joanna
Hoar, through their son John and their daughters Margery Flint and Joanna
Qulncy, can be learned from pedigrees and records easily accessible. Besides
those bearing the name of Hoar, are the Prescotts, Evartses, Baldwins, Gen.
Terry, the liero of Fort Fisher, the Qnlncys and Adamses,
Among t!ie other persons mimed in the will of Charles Hoar are his wife's
brothers, William, Waiter, Edward and Thoma.s !niick?^man. This name Is
written in the records of that period IndilTercutly Uincksman or Henchman.
There was a Walter Hincksman who, about that time, was rector of the old
churcli at Matlock in Derljyshire, the place from which Rev. Henry Flynt and
bis brother Thomas Flynt of Concord came. Thomas Hincksman is In all proba-
bility Major Thomiis Henchman of Concord, aftenvard of Chelmsford, well
known in the Indian wars. Edmund Hincksman, with Edmund Qniocy and
Robert Hull, wituessetl the power of attorney of Daniel Hoar above referred to.
ThomiB Hoar, the brother of Charles, Is probably the Thomas Hoar who took
the degree of Bachelor of Arts at Oxford, and who petitions the East India
Company for employment as a preacher in 1(120. Thomas Veil is a person very
well known in the public atlhirs of Gloucestershire al>otit tlial period. He seems
to have been on the side of the Commonwealth in the early part of the
CItU War. But ho was one of the deputation to welcome Charles U. on hia
restoration.

Eev. John Bulkeley, M.A., bom 1619-20, H. C. 1642, was the son of Rev.
Peter Bulkeley, of OdeU (Woodhlll), Bedfordshire, and of Concord, Mass., by
hbs first wife, Jane Allen, of Goldingtnn. He returned to Engiandl soon after
his graduation, and was settied as a mtnlster in Fordham, Essex, wliere the
baptism!} of a son and daiiu:liter are reeordeU by hia own baud. Having been
ijected from his lining in liitJ2, he removed to '* Wapping In tlie suburbs oJf Lon-
OOO*** and there practiced as a physician till his death, probably In January^
IdgS'-dO, (Sibley's llarv. Grad. I. 62; Bulkley Family, p. CI.) He married,
Hint, March 19, I650[-1], Anne Trye, who probably died lie fore June. U>OS;
MCondly, Avis or Aulce . His children by Anne Trye were t Edward, John,
Thomas, Miirgai'et (bom before IGdC) aud Elizabeth. Jolm, who with Margaret
Genealogical Gleanings in England,
[Oct.
died before 1689, was probably tbe father of the Joseph Bnlkeley meTitioned by
Elinor Trye amonp her sister Anne'» children; thon^h as John evidently died
I l»eloFe his father, it is curious that Joseph is not mentioned In John Bnlkeley 's
will. But, unless both John and Joseph married much younger than mei^^
Qsaally did eren in those days, this Joseph could scarcely have been the " cousta^H
Joseph BnlUey " whose ' son Edward " is mentioned in EUanor Trye's wUl. Q|^|
L Is, however, difllcult to see who else It could be. Thomas, who was in New
I England in lUUl, had J^kn (less than sixteen in 16U1, died before 1720), and
I TTiomas, who was in the East Indies about 1720. Elizabeth married Everard
I JTawkncr (died 1707), and died 1720. She was probably a second wife, with a
r Btepson Everard who died before his father. (See EsaiSTKB, 166^, p. 272; or

The " nephew Edward Bulkeley here in England/* of John Bulkeley** wlll»

eldest son, it seems not at all improbable that his English relatives should have
agreed to provide for him. The expression " my nephew Edward Bulkley the
I elder" in Ellanor Trye's will might seem to Imply that John's son Edward had
I himself a son Edward, who might then be supposed to be the •' cousin" men-
tioned by Elizabeth Fawkner. (See Gleanings, p. 277, note by Mr. Waters. ) But
it is very unlikely that of all her nephews and nieces she would call only one by
the name of "cousin"; and the expression, "the elder," was probably used
simply to distinguish John Bulkley 's son, born about 16&1, from his cousin and
adopted brother of the same name, bom 1(jG8-9.
The children of Tiioma-s (died before 1656) and UBstrLA (died 1664) Ts
seem to have been : Wuxiam T. (died between 16»6 and 1G89) who had
Thomas; Margaret T. m. Wroughton (?}, and died between IC65
1691; ELXA>-on T. died unmarried, ltJ9l-2i Susa>>'a T. married before 1
John Vicajiiuge (who died between Oct. 11, 1G89, and Nov. 24, 1(^91), and h
eldest Trj-e V., born about ICAH, died between I«56nnd 1(J89 (had Trtje, Sitmn

V. ; William V. (had Frederick) ; Thomas V. ; Charies V. (had Charle», Johm
and l%o7naa) ; Margaret V. \ Susanna V. married John More (who had John,
perhaps by a former marriage) and Elizabeth V,, unmarried in 1091. Of
these, Trye, Slauter^ John, William, Margaret, and probably Susanna, were bora
before 1G06; and Trye, Slauter, William and Margaret apparently died l>€for©

The use of the word '* spinster" in Ursula Trye's will Is very curious.
("Bachelor" Is sometimes used of a widower.) The Mrs. Hester Vlcaiidg«
mentioned with her son the **chyrurgeon," in Elizabeth Fawkner's will, was
perhaps the widow of the younger Trye Vicarldge.

The reference In tlie will of widow Alice Torrey to her brother-in-law Thomas
Lombard, and the fact that her husband, in 1621 .made Thomas Lumbert one of
his overf<eers. may lend to the discovery of the ancestry of that family.
Thomas Lumhiini or Lnmbard came here in 1B30. according to Savage, with
children including Bernard, who was boni in 1607 or lfj08. Both went to
Scltnato and thence to Barnstable. Deane THist. of Scituate. pp. 307-8) caUa
Bernard Lnmbard " one of the men of Kent," and says that Richard L. was In
Scituate in lO-tO, retorriing to Tenterden, Eng., on the strength of Elder Nathaniel
Tlldens will. But that document (ibid, p. 3'»:j) does not bear this out, since it
gives •* to wife Lydla the income of my Stone house, with the lands lu Tenter-
den hi Kent, in which Richard Lambeth now dwells," etc. Certtiinly Lurabnrd
or Lnmbart is not the same name as Lambeth, nor even an easy corruption
therefrom.
The will of Alice Torrey gives a much more promising cine for the origin of
Thomas Lombard, as her brother-in-law woald be the exact contemporary of the
emigrant; and his succei^s in settling here might well induce his presumed
nephews to corae over ten years later. It is rather strange that Philip Torrey
In hlH deposition does not call William and Samuel Torrey, respectively, his
brother and nephew, at a time when the avowal of the relatiouship would seem
to greatly increase the value of his aflldavit.
In the will of widow Alice Torrey, she makes Henry Dunster one of her over-
seers, and he witnesses. Mr. Newtou has a memorandum from the Bishop's
ollire at Exeter, of a marriage license granted 8 May, 1(j27, to Henry Dunsterof
Willsworthy and AunaTorry of Whitstaunton, co. komerset. Our president of

him to the Mninc Hfsttmcnl and Genealogical Recorder for JammrVp 1889 (hisaed
December; 181H}), pp. 255-62. We make the following extracts :
" In the Conisistory Court of the BLshop of Gloucester was fomud the will of
Samuel Williams, dated Sept. 2G, 16(>8> proved in I6t;9, lie was apparently a
clergyman, for he gave to his son BeuJamlQ his * Book of Marters' aud ' Perkins
Works,' and to bis son Nathaniel his ' Written Senoon».* He al»o mentions his
•brother/ Jaraes Adams (lii^ wife's brother), bis brother Richard Willhims and
his sister Elizabeth Williams, the Adauisej? again, and hb cousins (nephews and
nieces) the four Kail cliiUircn.
*' Next wai* discovered the will of William Williams of Synwell, a hamlet in
Wotton-nnder-Ed^e. It was dated Sept. an, 1618, and proved in tbe same year.
It names «ons Samuel and Ricbard, dausfhters Ann or Anna, Elizabeth and Jane.
These are tbe same names as In the other wills, except that It is here found that
the name of Mrs. Hall was Ann. The witnesses were William Martin, Robert
Trotman and Francis Wriffbt, the two former of whom are named &s overseera.
These are well-known names of families of \\\y^\i Htandln^. Tbe executor was
Blchard Tyndall (or Tyndale) of North Nibley, a relative of William, the trans-
lator of the Biide, Avhn suttered martyrdom in Flanders.
^* An examination of tbe register of the parish of 8t. Mary the Virgin In

lowing children of William WilliamH: ' An,' daughter, Bee. 2, 1509 i Hiclliard»
»on, .Inn. 28, IfiOG; Jane, daughter, March 19, IfiOS.
"There is also the record of the burial of William Williams, Sept. 29, 1618,
and of Elizabeth Williams, Nov, 19, 1G30* It was at first supposed that this
Elizabeth might have been the mother of Richard j hut a« no wife is mentioned
in the will of William, this is scarcely probable. Susanna Williams was buried
Jan, lit 1610, and she may liave been the wife of William.
*'The records show that Samnel WilUams married Alice Knight, a widow, In
1687; that their son Samnel was baptized in 1638, their daughter Hannah in
1640 (died 1«'I5), and their sou Nathaniel in 1645; that the mother died in 1661,
and the father In ItUiS). Samuel, Jr., died young, and the record of Benjamin's
baptism has not been found."
An early genealogical manuscript, preacrv(*d in the WilUama family, states
that the wife of Richard WilliamH was '* Frances Plghton, sister to Catharine
Dighton, who was married to Governor Thomas Dudley," Gov. Williams finds
corroboration of this statement. He lluds a record that,
♦'February 11, lfi32, Richard Williams was married to Frances Delghton of
Oloucester in the Parish of Witcombe Magna."*
He flnds also tbe will of iTohn Beighton, father of the above Francos, dated
Jan. 31. 16'it>, proved May 21, 1»>40. which " menlhms his eldest son John, his
eldest daughter Jane, his daughter Frances Williams, bis daughter Katherlnc
Haighbnrne. and his daughter Damaris, who was made residuary legatee."
The following inscription found in St. Nicholas Church, Gloucester, we quote
from tbe same article :
*• Here lies interred the bodies of John Delghton of this city, gent., and Jane,
Ws wife, daughter of Edward Baasett of iriey, by whom he had issue three
sons and four daughters. He spent all his time In the stndy of chlrurgery, and
attained to great knowledge therein. He died IC! May 1(>[40], and she 23 April,
16111."
The registers of the same church show the cbrist43nlngs of his daughters,
Frances, baptized March I, Ifill, and Katharine, baptized Jan. Ifi, 1»U4.
Katharine Delghton, baptized Jan. 10> l(«l*-5, married Samut-l Hairbume or

It is often as ititcresting to trace the ascendants from a pereoiu
now living aa to trace the descendantfi from a common ancestor whc»!
lived two or three hunilred yenra ajjo. The result of an effort inj
this direction made by Gyles Mernll, Esq** of Have rh ill. Mass** Is.
shown on the accompanying sheet. Mr. Merrill is a member of the!
New-England Historic Genealogical Society, and his study and re-
8earch» undertaken for this purpose, have been progtecntt^d in the
books and documents in the possession of the Society, and in town
and church records in many other quarters for a period of more than
forty years. In no case has an entry been made without qualification
where any doubt was entertained regarding the strict accuracy of
the statement,
A work of this character is one which is never considered com*
plete, and corrections or additions from any source will be gratefully
received. Especially desired are facts showing the antecedents of
William Redfurd of Portsmouth (found in the sixth generation on
the paternal side), who perhaps lived for a time in Sidem ; and of
Sarah Tappan, in the fifth generation on the paternal side ; also of
Mary Uolton, in the sixth generation on the maternal side. Other
lines hjcking on the maternal side have escaped the diligent search of
Mr. El>en Putnam of Salem, who has now in press a genealogy of
the Putnam family ; but it ia hoped that they may ultimately be
traced.
The lines of ascent^ it will be observed, run back into fnmilies of
tvventy-eight namei, and all, so fivr as known, are of unmixed Eng-
lish stock. There is no evidence of any other bloody and the
American progenitor of every family came here prior to 1(150- It
is thouglit to be comparatively rare that the aiice^stry of perisons now

of other tlian English origin, or without meeting ancestors who left
their En«.'lish Ijoraes in more recent years. Nearly all tlie families
bear common New-England names, and tliey are moetly oF Essex
County, Mass., a few having lived in Suffolk and Norfolk Counties.
It will be observed that the number of family names is reduced
by the inter-marriage of Putnams on the maternal side. Descent
is traced from tlie emigrant, John Putnam, through each of his
three sons, Thomas, Nathaniel and John. Two niarriagej^i of Put-
name witli Putnanis are recorded, three of Putnams with Flints, and
two of Putnams with Hutcluneons ; but ia no case was die relation-
Bhip of the contracting parties nearer tlian that of third cousins.
On the paternal side such inter-niarri;igee are not found, unless it
is proved that Sarah Tap[>an, who married Jabez True in the lifth
generation, was a descendant of Abralmm Tappan of Newbury, It
is believed that Abraham Tappim was the ancestor of all the
Tappans and Toppans of Newbury and Salisbury ; but the line has
not been traced for the two intermediate generations. It is a
matter of surnnise only that Susanna Goodsile of Yarmouth, Eng.,
who married Abraham Tappan, was a sister of Ann Goodale, daugh-
ter of Jotm Goodale of Yarmoutii, who married Thomas Mil ward
of Newbury,

Colonel V/iggleiiworth married first, Bridget Cogswell, and an error In the

the above children were hers. Michael, who married Charlotte Gold.smith, left
a daughter, Sarah, who married the Rev. Samuel Clarke of PrincetA)n and Ux-

Whitman. — The following is a copy of a memorandum in the writing of Rev.
Labau Ainsworth, once minister of JaffVey, N. H., and has been furnished for the
Registeu by Hon. Francis J. Parker of Boston, a grandson of Mr. Ainsworth :
Mr J Whitman — Native of Frankfordt Germanj' joined the Lutheran Church
at 18 years. His father to prevent impress into y« armies sent him to America
at age of 19. Soon after arrival, at y« beginning of French war a little before
Braddock defeat, he joined British during war. He traversed y® wilderness
from Virginia to Quebec, was in 8 set Battles & many other brush skirmishes,
most of them were bloody. In y" whole term he had seen many die in y^" field
& by sickness & fatigue but, as he acknowledged, by y« good hand of God he
shed [? lost] no drop of blood, suffered by no sickness, was ever able to do his
duty & eat his allowance.
He soon found his way to Ashburnham Mass. where he found y^ German set-
tlements & in 1764 married Mary Killing, united with y« church there has since
lived to provide for a numerous family of children. He has lived in those steady
habits which give credibility to y« sincerity of his Xn profession and a hope y*
he has entered into rest where y« wicked cease from troubling.
Another circumstance may be useful to relate. Mr. W's father at parting

McKiNftTRKY Corps (Register, ante, p. 00). — The party here ftllnded to was
doubtless John McKlnstrey (or McKlnsler), a native of Londonderry ♦ N. H.,
-whose wife. Elizabeth Knox, was of Ruinford* the old nsime of Concord, hi that
State. An Imfierfect account of him U glvvti in thv Rk^ister, Vol. xiii. p. 42.
He appears to have bet^n located, aa early as 1770, In Hillsdale township, Colum-
bia Co., N. Y., and on the commencement of liostililies with Great Britain,
baring had some experience in th<» Frouch and Indian war. he, with Ida brother
Thomay as first Lieutoniiiit, raised a company from Noliletown and Sharon,
probably the only body of men which marched from New York Colony after the
Lexln^on alarm. On the army-lists hi;* name is ^Iven as of Nobletown, tliough
he has been called occa.sionalIy of Spencer; the tirst being a smaU tract in the
eonth. and the latter in the ntirtli of Hillsdale township. Joined, by order of
the Maiia. Frov. Con^i^,. Jnnf; Si'i, 1775. to the regiment of Col. John Patterson,
raised principally from nei|?hboring districts in the Bay State, the company con-
tinued a part of that regiment till the close of 177ti. Ma^^sachusetts, however,
deciding to exclude from her forces all men not actually residiiiff within her State
limits, the two McKinstreys, thrown out of service, were recommended for
military preferment within their adoptive State by the Hon. Robert Yatea, in A
letter from Claverack, N. Y., Dec. 20, 177(1, to Robert Harper. Ejjq., one of the
committee at Fishkill for arranijiniEr the continental battallon.«i to be raised In

cooperating with Geo. Schnyler, say^ : ** 1 Iiave understood they behaved (par-
ticularly at ihtf Cedars, where the Captain was wfonuled) with distinj^uiiihed
bravery." Brat I fail to learn that either of the McKintreya served again In the
rcgTilar amiy after lI7tJ. Rt-leasicd from captivity at the Cedars, by the cartel
of May 27th, between Arnold and Capt. Forster, Captain John proceeded home-

cecdetl the lamented Col. Thomas Hickft Wynne. Since he entered opon his
duties a new series of the Collections of the Vir^irinia Historical Society has

been issued. These volume^H show the learning and ahility of Mr. Brock as
editor of such books, there being no one, w hoin we knM\v of, su familiar as he
with the general, local and family history of his native state. The books do
honor to the state as well as the society. It is iioped that those who feel a
Just pride in the history of the t)ld Dominion, and who have the mean?! at their
command, will contribute liberally to i^ustain the publlcationa of the society,

South Carolina Historical Society.
Wk learn with sincere grntitleation that etiVirt^s are being made to extend and
ge the work of tlie South Carolina Historical Society, by the eittabllskment
branch societies in the several counties.
The present Society was founded in l«55. In the city of Charleston, and was
the outgrowth of an hlistorical committee of the Charleston Lifirary Society,
which, In the previous twenty years, had done excellent work in securing MS.
letters of Washington, Rutledge. Moultrie, Marion, Sumpter, the Pinckneys, and
other notable men» eminent in the revolutionary days and early stiite-hooil of
South Carolina. The sessions of the Society were held at the Charleston
Library, and, by the devotion of its secretary. Prof. F. A. Porcher, of the
Charleston College, three valuable volumes of Collections were published, before
their labors were interrupted by war. xlt the termination of hostilities, the
Society resumed Its activity, and published another volume of collection.^.
The achievementij of the Society have been supplemented by the zealous
activity and industry of Uon. WllViani Ashmead Courteuay, jMayor of Charles-
ton, 1&&0-SI* who discovered in private collections, In the archives of the
British and the United States governments, and In libraries, hUtorical let-
ters, documeDts, maps and pamphlets of great value, which he reprinted as ap-

Slayoralty. The production of these remarkable papers, many of them utterly
unknown to hi.Hioriana, placed on permanent autl accessible record the sources
Qf the various peoples which have developed the civilization and made the his-
tory of one of the ixioat coDspicuous and distlnguidlied commuuities in American
hhitory.
It now remains for the Society to secure for posterity the abundant historical
matter of more recent events, destiued to occupy eminent position in the regard
and estimation of generations to come. To this end, the establishment of
connty branches would seem to be judicious, as likely to be productive of
the best resultj^, in gathering from private sources, letters, journals, relics
and mementoes, illustrative of public events. As the custodian of such matter,
now exposed to *'the devouring tooth of time," and in its secure pre^enatiou,
these branch societies can i»erform most iBiportant service, in which we hope
the genealogy and tndlvlduiil perbouality of ciUzeu^ will have |)romluent and

On leaving college, he studied law with the Hon. Nathan Crosby, of Lowell,
and in due time was admitted to the Middlesex bar. He opened an office with
Tiieodore H. Sweetser first in Lowell, and afterward in Boston, and the part-
ner^hip continued until 1875, when he was appointed judge of the Superior
Court by Governor Gaston. In 1885, on his birthday, October I, Judge Gardner
was promoted by Governor Robinson to the bench of the Supreme Court. He
held this position until the autumn of 1887, when failing health compelled him
to resign. Governor Ames, in accepting his resignation, wrote a cordial letter,
conveying to him, in behalf of the people of the Commonwealth, their sympa-
thy on account of his illness, and their regret that he felt it necessary to
relinquish a position on the bench whose duties, during twelve years, he had so
faitli fully, ably and honorably discharged.
Judge Gardner's political associations, previously to his elevation to the
bench, were with the Democratic party, but he had never engaged very actively

He was a devout member of the Protestant Episcopal Church, and was one of
the standing committee of the diocese of Massachusetts. He married, first, in

HoN\ Damo Lomita'^ RwAtN. LL,D., eorre^^pondinsr member (See HEOteTER,

18fi0, and died at Chapel Hill, Aug:. 27, 1868, and not Sept. 3 as given in the
memoir in vol. 24. The following letter from the late Prof. Brewer, the writer
of the meraoir, explains how the error was made :
Chapel Hill, N. C.
Ed. Hist, and Gen. Register: Dec. 13th, 1871.
Dear Sir, — In a sketch of Gov. David L. Swain, which I communicated
to your magazine about a year ago, there is a serious error of date. In two
places it is mentioned that his death was on Sept. 3, 1868. It should have been
Aug. 27th.
I had written the correct date, but seeing that Appleton's Annual Cyclopiedia
gave Sept. 3d, I changed my record, after having made inquiry of a member of
the family and obtaining the impression that my first information was wrong.
How Appleton's Cyclopaedia made the mistake, I can only conjecture. The
New York Times in its obituary list of the deceased of 1808, published early in
January, 1869, had made the same mistake: but how the Tijnes fell into the
error I cannot even conjecture. I have not seen the false date anywhere else.
Another mistake due to my inadvertence, is found in the same sketch in
naming Gen. Burgoyne, where I should have said " Cornwallis." No good stu-
dent of history would be misled by this slip, for every one knows that Burgoyne
never marched through the Carolinas. Yours truly,
FiSK P. Brewer.

them.
In 1847 he made a voyage to India and Chhia In the ship Tonqidn, in order to
study the methods of business in those countries, (hi his return he entered the
ottice of his uncle. Colonel ThoiniLs Graves Cary, where he remained for a num-
lH>r of years, holding an important position of trust during that time, and uriviug
great satisfaction to his employers. In isrt5 he went to Europe and passed a
year in travel and pleasure, even visiting Sebastop^jl during the siege of that
place. In 1805 he visited the State of Georgia. With two friends he bought a
plantation, and lived there dtirinij the next rtve years.
On May 27, 187rj, as is stated al)ove, he married Alice llnthaway Forbes, and
from that time continued to live at Milton, in a house that had been owned by

Axilla and papers made a verj' complete Genealogical Tree of the fandly of
Cary. He never pubtishetl the results of his work, although the early pfirt of
this article is taken from his labors in that directiou. He had a great fondnesis
for countrj* life and fanning, especially in the department of the raising of
fine cattle. His lierd of (ineruseys was fairunis, and showed what lie could

In tht' spring nf ISH'j, Mr. Car}' and his wife made the trip to Callfomia, and

One of the ple^isaol traits in Mr. SculFs character, worthy to be rememb^ed
by his descendants, was bis respect for hi^ ajs^ed father. During a residence of
above twenty years in Engjland, he visited home every two years.
Mr. Scull's son, Walter Delaplaine Scull, B.A., of London, furnishes Mr. Potts
the following account of the later years of his life, after he settled permanently
in England :
" Mr. Scull, in 1868, and for some years after, occupied * the Laurels,' Houns-
low Heath, near Richmond. In 1877 he left the Thames valley and went with
his family to Uugby, where his children received their education. It was here
that he wrote the lirst of his larger works, the ' Memoir of W. G. Evelyn,'
making many journeys about England in search of such records as might bear
upon that undertaking or upon those he afterwards accomplished. In this
connection he paid several visits to Wotton House, Dorking, at the invitation of
its present owner, W. J. Evelyn, Esq., M.P., and in " The Evelyns in America"
has given to American readers a series of views of that charming old manor
which had for him such pleasant associations. It was here also that he met
Matthew Arnold, Martin F. Tupper, and Thomas Hughes (author of * Tom
Brown's Scliool Days'), the last two of whom he afterwards corresponded with
and occasionally visited. He made several visits to Ireland in the company of
Mr. Evelyn, but though each time he found much interesting matter for investi-
gation, he never saw his way to flually carrying out anything in that direction,
and set to work upon a larger volume, * the Evelyns in America,' which caused
him to receive a great many pleasant letters of acknowledgment from both
sides of the Atlantic. In 1881 he left Rugby aud resided until 1883, at Oxford,
where he passed much time at the Bodleian Library, and came into pleasant
contact with the literary circle of the University, in which also he had entered
his son as an undergraduate of Lincoln College. His correspondence of this
period contains some interesting letters from Sir Joseph Hooker, director of
the Royal Gardens at Kew (whose charming garden parties lie often attended,
both then and aftenvards when in Loudon), from James Russell Lowell, Richard
II. Dana, Thomas Hughes, and others of mark. Here also he made an interesting
collection of letters written by that charming authoress of old-fashioned Eng-
lish country life, Mary Russell Mitford, which testify to the kindliness of her

and not the mechanical lens of the photoju:rapher, tliough for the latter form
of art also he had mncli fondness, and was never weary of collecting reprcsen-

Siympathy for his family frmn all whose friendship he possessed, and the writer
of this hasty and imperfect notice takes this rteeting opportunity to express to

The History of the Virginia Federal Convention of 17S8, frith some account of
the Eminent Virginians of that Era, irho were mem})ers of the Body. By Hugh
Blair Ghigsby, LL.D. With a Biographical iSketch of' the Author, and lllua-
trative Notes. Edited by R. A. BitocK, Correspondinsj Secretary and Libra-
rian of the Society." Vol. II. llichmond, Virginia: rubiisbed by the
Society. 181)1. 8vo. pp. 411.
This i.<i an iuterestinfj: work, and a valuable addition to what we have relating
to the history of the Virginia Federal Convention of 1788. The first volume,
which deals especially with the proceedings of the Convention, was noticed by
us ill the lii'Xii.sTKK for July, 1890. This volume gives an account of eminent
Virginians who, in their day and generation, were distinguised, not so much for
their services in the Federal Convention, as for their general ability and in-
fluence in conducting the public aft'airs of their native State. It contains matter
of genealogical and historical interest, not easily found elsew here. It traces
the connection and relationship of the old families, with a care and thoroughness
that leave no doubt of its correctness, and is written in such a lively and agree-
able style, that it is very readable and interesting.
The two volnmes contain the history of the Virginia Federal Convention,
which was a remarkable body of men. In the other State Conventions that
assembled to ptiss upon the question of the Federal Constitution, its friends
and opponents were very unequally matched. But in Virginia, while the people,

at Inrire, -were tTvc* to one against it, the wealth and talent and inflaence of the
State wtTt' strongly reprenfiitr-d on both sidi^n of the qoestion, and so the de-
bates that took place on the difTerent f|uestjon.s, as ther arose, are full of anima-
tion and interent. In the MaHsachuHetts Convention, the case was just the
reverse. While the popular sentiment hero, as in Vlrsrhiia — thonirb mit so de*
cSdedly — was opposed to its adoption, nearly all the wealth and education of
tbe State were on the side of the Constitution, and ho one-sided was the Con-
yentlon. In rejiJpect of everythiofj but numbers, that there wjm not n sinu;le
representative of the popular fe«lin*i. of Jlrnt rate capacity, in that assemblVt to
give voire and eflt-et to it, — and so the deimtes are eoniparatlvely tame and nn-
intert^stiiijMj. There was no man in the opposition t^i test to tlie utmost the
eloipience and powerrt of debate of siieh men as Kintr and Aine?* and Dana and
Parsons. It was a case for strate«*:y and not for eloipience. How to control
and conciliate Hancock and Adams, and to convert a larije minority into a small
mflJorUy. was the questinn,— a work which offered little opportunity for the
cloqnence of Ames or Kiii^. but was especially adapted to the ,i;eninH of Par-
sons, whose forte was skill and ability in manajfement. It would be interesting
to go into this matter at some length," and to show wliy it was that the character
of the Virijinia Convention differed so radically from that of Massachnsetts,
hot it is enonch at this time to refer briefly to the dilfi-rence in the political
condition of these States at the time the question of the Federal ConstltntioD
Ciune np for consideration.
Durhig the revolutionary waft the restraints of law and order were materially
Telnxed, and when thr^ war was over* and the object of it accomplisiied, the
evils of lawles!§ncss and ln!!*ubordInatlon were seriously felt in ilassachnsetts.
The people, wlio had l>een reduced by the hanlships of the war to a condition
of extreme poverty,— re fusinfi to pay their debts, and to submit to the authority
of law, — undertook to dc fetid themselves l)v <r)pcn rebellion, and resort to Stay
laws, and other expedients utterly inconsistent with the necessary conditions of
order and good Kovernment. This state of thintrs produced a shari» division,
array Uifi on one side the popniar majority, and on tlic other the wealth and
intellijfence of the State, as represented by the friends of law and order. The
excess«.'9 produced by the spirit of lii>erty»" which naturally followed the con-
clusion of the war. caused a reaction, which prodnceti a complete separation
between the conservative and law-abiding men on the one side, and the lawless
and radical men on the other,
Bnt in Viririnia the case was different. It wa.s an agricultural state, and its
political system was aristncratic. The evils and dangers which Masssachnsetts
had experieiircd from the excesses and abuses of the democratic principles
were couipanitlvely nnkuown, and the doctrine of State rights, as opposed to
the powers of tlie gem ral government, was favored, rather than hindered, by the
operation of local causes. The policy of the Congress of the Confederation,
whidt was controlled l)y the northerii states, had been in some n*spects,
especially in regard to the navigation of the Mississippi, adverse to the interests
of V^irginia, and, in tbe judgment of many of its public men, the advantages of
union wonld be more than otfset by the loss of dignity and power which the
State wonhi experience. In Massachusetts the fate of the Constitution was
dotibtful. not because of a division of opinion of its merits, on the part of the
weallli ttTid education of Its people, but because of a popular majority against
it. In Virginia the decision was doubtful, not only i>y reason of the general
opposition on the part of the people at large, bat because of a wide difference
of opinion in respect to the expediency of its adoption, on the part of its lead-
ing nipn. eminent for intelligence and statesmanshii). Thi* character of the two
conventions faithfully refli»etcd the poUtitjal condition of their respective states.
In Massachusetts the condition of public affairs Avas especially unfavorable to
the doctrine of State rights and of democratic ideas, and tlie thinking men
were, for tlie most part, on the other side. In Virginia, the action of the Con-
federate Cojigress, and the course of domestic atl'airs were favorable to the
advocacy of State rights, and the friends of the Union and the Constitution
"were combated on thi* floor of the Convention by men of great eloquence and
patriotism^ and of aliility and statesmanship, only not equal to their own. For
Are and elo(|nence and patriotism Henry and Mason and Grierson had not their
§nperior8 in the State, and in respt.^ct to tbi>se(iuallties which should distingnislx
public men, they were worthy of rank with Madison and Marshall and Fendlo-
ton, who represented the other side of the question.

l^'Sr1nnln{f* of Kentrjcky." by the Ute CoL Jrtbn Misoti Br»iwd, ft fframBou of
Hon. John Brown, the first senator from Kentucky in the United States Con-
grcHs. It preijents the movements of the early politicians of that State; their
pressing €«.j^eme.ss to be free from Virginia and to obtain admittance to the
Federal Union; the discontents engendered by the delays encountered; the
prompt rebuff of Lord Dorchester's British emissaries : the small encourage-
ment given to the project of Genet, the minister of France : the incautious
readiness of listening to the schemes and intrigues of Gen. Wilkinson, now
known, by documents in State archives at Madrid, to have been in the pay of
the Spanish government; the efforts of the Spanish minister and the governor
of Louisiana to detach the entire Mississippi Valley and to attach it. by a favor-
able treaty, to Spain ; with some description of the Indian wars and the suffer-
ings of botli races In the stniggle for supremacy. These topics, with collateral
Issues, are discussed, their history related, and the action of prominent men
portrayed with a finii advocacy of the measures, which resulted in the erection
of the new commonwealth and the restriction of the Spanish power. The tone
is rather controversial, perhaps too much so for assured history; but the
importance of the events and the necessity of their rehearsal caunot be gain-
say ed.
Throughout the narrative, it is very plain that the restless ambition and In-
natiable greed of Gen. Wilkinson was the occasion of all the trouble. Without
him, or such as him, the Spanish overtures would have found no listeners, and
the record of many excellent men been untarnished. It Is remarkable that even
HO talented and captivating a man as Wilkinson, who had been a captain in a
New Hampshire regiment at the siege of Boston; with Arnold in the expedi-
tion to Quebec; a staff officer of Gates, at Saratoga; later a brigadier, secretary
to the board of war and clothier general ; should have conducted so long and
HO successful a hopeless dissimulation — regarded at New Orleans as a Spanish
subject, pensioned by the government at Madrid, yet elected to office in Ken-
tucky and reinstated in the commission of the Federal army, where he remained
till he became commander-in-chief. He had not the sagacity to perceive that
the people were not with him ; though he might cajole individuals by offers of

One nniy weli nllovv the appropriateness of the name *' The Kinging Inland, "
as applied to England, when it is realized that within her iMirders there are said
to be ilfty |»eal'< or chimes of t^'ii bt'Us each, three hundred liud islxty of eight
each. Jive hundred of six, and two huudi'ed and tifty of tlve each, besides the
almost InniUDerable single ones.
" There's not a sound can e'er resound,
In which Huch rapture dwelU,
As in Britain's native tnu.sic,
Old EniiUiud's inerry bells."
Ancient is her custom of peal ringing. Many and old are the societies of
ringers, that called *'The Companle of Ringers of Our Blessed Virgin Mary of
I/meoln " being formed as early a.s IGU, for the purpose of chanjjfe-ringlng.
8outhey, in *' The Doctor," tells Uij that a peal of twelve bells will give -ITuryOl,-
600 changes, and that it would take ninety-one years to ring tlieni.
Still another ;;;ood reason for this lintinualmlatiitg name, is in the fact that
so many have written about these same bells which form so interesting part q£
her hir'tory. The late Rev. Henry T. Ellacomije, Rector of Clyst St. Qeorge,
Devonshire, wrote several vohimes devoted exclusively to bells; among tliein,
were ''Bella of the Church," "Church Bells of Devon," *' Church Bells of
Sotiiersel/' '" Church Bells of Gloucestershire," &c. Stahlschmidt has written
•'Churcli Bells of Kenlt" and *' iSurrey Bells and London Founders." There
have been works by Tyssen, E'Estranise, Cornwall, Denlson, Ilawela and many
others. In fact a lai^e library ndgbt be gathered of bell literature.
And now we have a new" addition from the He v. John Jainee* Kaven, D,D., of
the Freasinffrteld Vicarage, llarleston, and Honorary Canon of Norwich Cathe-
dral, entitled *' The Church Bells of SuHblk, a Chronicle In Nine Chapters, with
a Complete List of the Inscriptions on the Bells, and Historical Notes." He had
before this published ** ('burch Bells of Cambridgeshire." This last work is a
handsomely printed volume of 26G pages. It is Illustrated with many unique and
curious emblems, letters, crosses, medallions, founders' marks, shields, and
other ornaments. The very great variety of iUnsirati(»us on the bells here given
Is most noteworthy. There is a hundred pages of the description and the in-
scriptions thereon of the eighteen hundred and sixty-four bells in the b'u towns
and cities of Suttblk. This must have involved an Immense amount of tower-
climbing and hard study in deciphering what was on some of the very old bells,
and the indistinct inscriptions, very many of which are in Latin. Dr. Haven
has had this latest work on English Campa'nolocy In hand for forty-two years.
It is a subject that has interested him from his boyhood's days. Ue ha** done
hia work witli a loving hand, well and thoroughly.

Persons* desiring to secure copiej* of this book con probably obtain them by
writing directly to the compiler, Hon. Edward F. Ji^hnson, Woburn, Masa.
The city of Wohuru has now had printed at its expense the entire records of
blrtha, marriages and deaths in that placi* from 1(^40 to 1873, they being com-
prised in three octavo volumes. The tlrst volume contalniue the births, wai
noticed by us in July, and the second containing the deaths, in iicUjber,
The third volume containing? raarriaifea, is now before us. Like the prec
volumes this is alphnbetically urranjreil. The compiler has ailded many
DOtea, giving information about persons, families and events named in the
record. This must have re<juireil a great deal of labor. Cine of the noted re-
latini; to the Bultlneh family contains much new genealogical matter.
Judge Johnson hhtiws thi\t the lirst volume of Wobuni records I3 wholly ia

liai* been snppo^eil, in tliat of Ids father CH|»t. Edward J(»hnj*on. the first clerk*
lie gives^ fac-similes of the writing of both. This pntves that the first volume
of record?* is a copy and not the original. Thin, was first suggciited by Mr.
William R. Cutter, the city librarian, in an article in the Woburn Jtmrmit^
Miirch 8, li^SiK The original of the first volume of records, in the handwriting
of Capl. Edward John.son, the author of the •* Wonder Working Providence,"
cannot now be found.
The compiler intends to prepare a continuation of the records from 1878 to
1800, and if tlie proper antboritlcs sanction it, lo have them priutwl with th«
successive annual city reports — the births in 1892, the deaths in 1898 and the
marriflge» in 181»4; and to recommend that in the decade endiT»g in 1900, and to
each >4ucceedlng decade, the publication be coutinned in this form.
The compiler and the city authorities deserve great eretlit for what they haTfl
done to preserve tlieite materials for the history of Woburn. We hope IN ex-
ample will be followed by other cities and towns.

of Ireland, where the race feuds of t^vo bitter eenturies dej*troyed so much

leaminj?— as well as n diligent student of the same — is evident from a perusal
of the long list of titlor* of the publications from hii? pen contained In the book
before us. Among other writings of his may be ooteii his monograph entitled,
••Historic Churches of Virginia," contributed to the '* Centennial His^tory of
the Episcopal C^hurches of tiie United States," by Rt. Rev. Win. Stevens rcrry»
D*D., 1882; also hi» biography of Rt, Kev. Wm. Meade. D.D., in "Memorial
Biographies of Deceasinl Members of the New-England Historic Genealogical
Society/' Boston. Vol. IV., 1885- also his histories of Bristol Parish, and of
St. Mark's Parish, Culpeper County, Virginia. The vestries of the parishes^
or township!^, as we should call them — in the early days of tlio eolony, appear to
have exercbed control iti secular as well as In eecleshisticAl affairs. The author
Bays : •' Among the duties imposed by law in these times upon the Vestry ivas
the snperintencience of theproces^skming of land, and the cultivation of tobacco.
The vestry was required to divide the parish into so many precincts as to them
shall seem convenient, and to appoint two Intelligent, honest freeholders, Id
each precinct, to see such processioning performed." It may be weU to mention
here a fact that may not perhaps be generally known, that tobacco was, not
only the staple product of the colony, but the medium of currency as well.
I suppose that most of us are Inclined lo look upon the Free Church move-
ment as of a c<^>mparatively recent date, and yet we have. In this history of St.
George's Parish, an account of at least one church which was sup^wrted by this
system one hundred years ago. I quote the foliowlng passage from the book
before us: *' In ohx^ience to instructions, the committee of ♦ Ways ami Means*
published in the Viri/iriin Herald an appeal to the friends of tlie Church — vSt.
George's — of which the following is a copy : ' As nothing can i)e more instm-
xnental In promoting morality and religion than a constant attendance at church,
especially In towns where there are a number of unhappy, idle, and prolligate
people, who may be influenced by the good example of their neighbors, and
thereby lie reclaimed from idleness; and as the benevolent Inhabitants of this
town, and the friends of the Episcopal Church in the vicinity, have hitherto
liberally contributed to the support of a worthy and assiduous clergyman, a
good clerk and sexton, they are humbly requested to sign notes, payable f|uar-
terty, for the ensuing year, which notes are deposited by order of the Vestry in
the hamla of the church-wardens, rea<ly for their signature. It Is lioped that
many who have fretiuented the church this year, and have neither contributed
to the repairs of the church nor the support of the mlalster, will subscribe
liberally for the ensuing year." " As Dr. Slaughter remarks, this " document Is
curious, as being one of the earliest devices of the voluntary system, after the
breaking down of the establishment by the revolution."

Far different from the laudatory orations and praisefu! sermona, bltherta
sounded on occasions relatlniK to the events or the leaders In this aan^olxuiiy
ftruiTirle, is this scholarly work, which baa been perfonued with a remarkable
cons-tflucy of diligence aud attention. Here is the plain story of the struggle,
the iuvariable succe*4s of Indian strategy defiled with deeds of inhuman atrocity,
and the Englishman's triumph only through the superiority of his weapons, tbe
scope of his campaigns, aud the dogged obstinacy of his ttghtlng quality, when
the test came- Out of tbe cold pages of the Colonial treasurer's account booka,
Mr. Bodge has evolved the very men who were the actors in these scenes ; not
simply the commanders, but the very soltliers who did the fighting. He has, in
narrative, given the history of each expeditloa, its inception and its achieve-
ment» The facts modify previous reputations, but are convincing in their his-
torical accuracy, and the'vohiiue takes its place at once iu libraries as the stAndanl
Work on its subject. Its influence will be to stimulate research In otber Colonial
records.
The execution of the volume, which is reprinted from tbe pa^cs of the Regis*
TEii, where the papers llrst appeared, is all that could be dehire<l. Tlie .Me<s»r:*,
ClftiJp have ^vell printed It on good paper, It has a full and copious index of

In 18G0, the late Ron. John J. Babson of Gloucester, Mass., of whom a
biographical sketch can be fonnd in tlie Rkoister, vol. 40, page 4 hi, published
It hUtory of that Uiwn in a Imndsouie octavo of Gp) pajijes. It was a work of
years and consclentions labor, and was received with much favc^r by !iist<3rlcal
scholars. In 187(J, he published the first part of '* Notes and Additions " to his
;bistory in a royal octavo of m pajies. Tlds was a reprint of articles contributed
from time to time to the Gloucester Tdfitjrapk, commencinir in 1«72.
We have now, live years after the author's death, the second part, or *' Second
Series'' as it is called, of his *' Notes and Additions." This and the preceding
part n:ive much information not in the history about the early settlers of frlon-
ceater and their descendants. Tiie Salem Press Company are able to furnish
the two parts bonnil in one volume for 8^,75.
At the time of his death, April, l.S8(t, Mr. Babson was en;araKed In preparing
for the press a revised edition of bis history, which would have eontalne*! these
and other matters collected by him hi the quarter of a century that liad elapsed
since the publication of Ids book, and was drawing; near the conclusion of his
work before jrlvinu It to the printer. He would have been able to improve hta
work ifteatly had lie lived, but it Is fortunate that he left so larjere a mass of
new materials in a state so fit for publication.

Mr, Wall is doint; jjood service to thf students of American history by col-
lectinc and preserviiiij in print so much of the local Idstory of our state. Tn
1677 Ills "^ Kendniscences of Worcester" appeared and received de>^erved com-
mendation. Last year be commenced a series of works on the different sections
the city. Of these " North Worcester" wa.s publi^^hed in IMW* and was noticed
by us in April of that year. This year '* Eastern Worcester," the work now be-
fore ns. appears. Mr Wall's inti'ntion is to follow these works with othernre-
gardlnfr the ilrst settli*rs of the Southern and Western sections, covering also
the Central, which latter he did in part in his Reminiscences of Worcester.
"Eastern Worcester" comprises three historical a<idresses deliv<'re<l by tlie
author at tliree dilt'erent jdaces in the insterly part of Worcester. The flr^t
address is on the first grants of lands in Woreewter ajid the settlers aton;r Lake
Quinsi/^mond ; the second is on the settlers on the west shor*;' of that lake;
and the third address U on the settlers of the Bloom in^dale district. These
addre9Be» are full of interestinij and valuable historical matter rclatinja: to the
aettlenients in the eastern part of the city, with jjeneahnifies of the settlers.
We hope the author will receive snfflclent encouragement to enable him to
bring out bis future works promptly.

Htur'j H. I>les, Eifq. Dear Sm.— Taunton. Mass.. June 30, 1S91.
In reply to your in*iuiry, you have the record : Hon. William Baylies died in
Taunton,* Sept. 27, 1^65, aged i<i) yrs. 12 days.
He died at the residence of ^Irs. Baylies' widow of his brother. Hon. Francis
Baylies, m here he had been spending a few months in declining health.
The above is the record sent to me by Mrs. Baylies and waj> so inserted in
the paper of the 2^th; but he died so near 12 o'clock that night, 27th. that one
of the papers of the 2*th had it •• he died this morning " {editorial).
But his sister-in-law, Mrs. Baylies, was good authority, and it was so pub-
lished in Taunton, New Bedford, Providence and Boston' papers, viz. 27th; and
strange to »ay it was not recorded by our city clerk at the time.
