to  make  the  world's  books  discoverable  online. 

It  has  survived  long  enough  for  the  copyright  to  expire  and  the  book  to  enter  the  public  domain.  A  public  domain  book  is  one  that  was  never  subject 
to  copyright  or  whose  legal  copyright  term  has  expired.  Whether  a  book  is  in  the  public  domain  may  vary  country  to  country.  Public  domain  books 
are  our  gateways  to  the  past,  representing  a  wealth  of  history,  culture  and  knowledge  that's  often  difficult  to  discover.

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

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

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/'

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 
to  diminish,  but  sure  it  is  that  he  was  there.  And  after  he  had  returned  home,  and  de- 
clared the  pleasant  and  fruitful  countreys  that  he  had  seen  without  inhabitants,  and  upon 
the  contrary  part,  for  what  barren  and  wilde  ground  his  brethren  and  nephews  did  morther

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

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,

May  it  Please  y'  Honour,  Portsm'  Decem'  16^  1728. 

M'  Secretary  Willard  wrote  me,  ▼•  27"*  of  the  last  Month,  that  it 
was  y'  Hon"  pleasure  forthwith  to  know  w^  men  are  Entitled  to  be  released 
or  exchanged,  are  desirous  of  it,  and  who  (that  are  so  Entitled)  are  willing 
to  Continue  in  the  service.  I  have  made  it  my  buisness  since  the  receipt 
of  his  Letter,  w^^  came  not  to  my  hands  till  the  10^  InsS  to  Acquaint  my- 
self with  what  your  Hon'  would  be  Informed  o(  but  not  knowing  certainly 
what  entitules  a  man  to  a  release  (tho'  I  suppose  it  to  be  a  two  yeares  Con- 
tinuance in  the  service)  I  have  therefore  herewith  Inclos'd  to  your  hon'  lists 
of  all  the  persons  (save  some  few  which  I  have  sent  to  the  Officers  for  bat 
are  not  yet  come  to  my  hand),  who  have  been  in  his  Majesties  service  two 
years  &  upward;  the  fists  mentions  y*  Captains  names  to  whom  they  be- 
long, the  Towns  from  whence  they  came,  &  likewise  shew  wether  the  men 
were  Imprest,  hired,  or  Voluntiers,  and  the  time  of  their  entrance  into  the 
Service,  who  are  willing  to  Continue  in  it,  which  are,  I  think,  but  three  or 
four,  &  all  the  rest  are  desirous  of  a  dismisftion;  what  remainea  I  shall  send

Eastward  is  the  only  place  to  Catch  ludiaas.

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 
were  rery  well  Satisfied  with  the  more  Western  Settlem^';  But  at  Length, 
thej  proceeded  to  deny  the  English  Rii^ht  to  any  Lands  to  the  Eastward 
of  Wells,  threatening  the  People  &  Killing  the  Creatures  &  Pulling  down 
dielr  Fences,  even  up  to  Wells.  In  the  year  1719.  Coll.  Tailer.  Coll.  Stod- 
d^rd  St  Colh  Dudley  were  sent  down  by  the  Gen"  Court  to  Falmouth,  to 
eJtpoelulate  with  the  Indians  on  these  Matters,  Who  laid  the  Fault  upon 
their  rash  &  beadfitroug  young  Men,  but  promised  to  restrain  them  for  the 
Fmane.  But  soon  after,  tliey  repeated  these  Injuries  with  Circumstances 
of  greater  Insulence  &  Barbarity,  so  that  many  Families  were  forcod  to  re- 
fliore,  to  their  unspeakable  Loss  &  Damage.  In  Nov.  1720,  the  Gen" 
Coort  Impowered  &  Directed  Coll.  Walton  &  Maj'  Moodey,  &  other  Officers 
io  Pay.  to  call  the  Indians  to  an  Acc^  for  these  Violations  of  their  Treaties, 
Who  accordingly  surnmou'd  in  most  of  the  Chiefs,  Who  excuse*!  themselves 
hj  Alledging  that  the  Priests  had  excited  their  rash  young  Men  to  these

ActioDB,  which  thej  own'd  to  be  contrary  to  their  Duty,  And  promised  to 
behave  more  peaceably  for  the  Future,  And  gave  Hostages  for  their  good 
Behaviour  &  for  the  Paym*  of  200  Skins  toward  Reparation  of  the 
Damages  they  had  done  the  English.  But  the  next  Year,  they  grew  more 
insolent  then  ever,  Writing  insulting  Letters  to  the  Grovemm'  db  Killing 
great  Numbers  of  Cattle,  which  they  left  rotting  upon  the  Ground,  & 
Abusing  the  Persons  of  many  of  the  People,  W***  Injuries  were  done  to  the 
Inhabitants  of  Arundel,  Biddeford,  Scarboro^  Falm^  &  North  Yarm^,  as 
well  as  of  the  Towns  on  Eennebeck  River,  So  that  a  Multitude  of  those 
People  were  driven  off  from  their  Habitations  by  these  Violences ;  Upon 
this  An  Act  pass'd  prohibiting  all  Manner  of  Commerce  with  them  upon 
great  Penalties. 

In  June  1722,  The  Indians  came  down  in  a  great  Body  upon  the 
Settlem^  in  Eennebeck  River  <&  burnt  twenty  or  thirty  Houses  at  Bruns- 
wick, <&  a  great  Many  others,  &  some  Mills  upon  the  River,  took  five  Men 
Prisoners  whom  they  carried  to  Canada,  &  attacked  his  Majesties  Fort  at 
Brunswick,  the  Kings  Colours  fiying  for  a  whole  Day,  firing  a  great  Number 
of  Shot  at  it:  All  this  happened  before  the  least  Act  of  Hostility  pass'd  oa 
our  side,  And  of  the  sev^  Matters  herein  alledged  We  have  a  great  Number 
of  Testimonies  (most  of  them  sworn  before  some  Magistrates),  W'^''  will 
give  a  full  Satisfaction  of  the  Facts  committed  by  the  Indians.  If  any 
thing  further  be  necessary  I  shall  be  very  ready  to  furnish  you  with  them.

Sir, 

I  have  herewith  enclosed  a  Scheme  for  the  Disposition  of  the 
Soldiers  that  are  to  be  continued  in  Grarrison  for  the  Security  of  the  Towns 
after  the  Detachments  are  march'd.  You  must  leave  Ord"  with  the  Com- 
manding Officer  that  is  to  stay  behind,  that  the  Garrisons  be  exactly

maining after  the  Detachm^  are  drawn,  to  be  continued,  &  the  Remainder  to 
be  dismiss'd  the  Service,  You  must  give  Orders  that  the  Duties  of  Watch- 
ing, Warding,  &  Scouting,  be  diligently  &  faithfully  performed,  upon  Peril 
of  the  Penalties  provided  in  the  Law  for  Punishing  Officers  and  Soldiers. 

As  to  the  twenty  Men  for  the  Security  of  York,  Kittery,  Wells  &  Ber- 
wick, they  must  be  imployed  as  follows:  viz.  A  Corporal  i&  nine  Men  to 
Scout  from  the  uppermost  Grarrison  at  Berwick  or  Salmon  Falls  to  the 
Garrison  at  the  West  Side  of  Saco  lower  Falls,  the  other  nine  &  a  Corporal 
to  scout  from  Saco  lower  Falls  to  Berwick  uppermost  Garrison,  W®** 
Scoutings  must  be  constantly  performed  by  five  in  each  Party  at  a  Time, 
And  a  Journal  of  their  Marches  <&  Discoveries  must  he  transmitted  once  in 
two  Months  to  me,  into  the  Secretaries  Office,  by  each  of  the  Corporals,

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 
ready  against  the  Time,  that  so  the  Service  may  not  suffer  by  a  Delay,  & 
if  you  Stand  in  need  of  anything  from  hence  Lett  me  know  forthwith. 
Lett  that  Party  to  bee  to  the  Eastward  of  Sagadehock  bee  Compleated  by

May  it  Please  your  Hon'  Falm®,  April  !•*,  1724. 

My  last  of  the  29*^  of  March  Inform'd  of  the  death  of  Doctor 
Negus,  and  sandry  sick  people  that  wanted  a  Doctor,  and  not  haveing 
heard  from  Richmond  in  Eight  or  Ten  days,  I  had  some  small  hopes  that 
Docter  Ballman  might  he  spar'd  to  make  a  visit  to  Falm^,  to  give  direc- 
tions what  might  be  best  to  do  for  the  sick ;  but  when  the  Express  arrived 
there  they  found  two  men  had  lately  died,  and  that  Cap^  Heaths  brother 
and  two  or  three  more  were  still  sidk.  Captain  Penhallow  writes  me  that 
there  were  several  sick  at  Arrowsick,  so  y*  Docter  Bullman  could  not  be 
spar'd.  Here  is  no  less  than  Ten  or  Twelve  sick,  several  of  them  are 
recovering.  Cap*"  Penhallow  Judges  y*  the  Indians  was  about  there  garri- 
sons. On  the  29th*»»  of  March  I  directed  Cap*"  Gray  to  write  to  Cap*" 
Heath,  to  let  me  know  what  forwardness  he  had  got  the  garrison  in.  In 
answ*^  to  it,  he  Informs  him,  that  the  house  design'd  for  the  Maquois,  he 
hop't  would  be  finisht  in  ten  days,  and  all  the  rest  of  the  work  by  the  last 
of  May.  I  suppose  the  bad  weather  and  sickness  has  put  him  back.  The 
IncIos*d  is  a  request  of  M'  Davenport*  for  a  Pass  to  Boston,  he  being  but 

i'ust  come  down,  and  it  being  a  sickly  time  amongst  us  I  thought  it  best  to 
inform  your  Hon'  of  his  request  According  to  your  Hon"  ord'  to  make  him

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.

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  :

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-

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 


1891.] 


Hugh  Maxwell. 


S9 


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.''

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."

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.

GENEALOGICAL  GLEANINGS  LN  ENGLAND.

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,)"

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)  :

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)  :

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

copy  from  the  lower  part  of  the  page  (the  uppf^r  part  bein^  a  record  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

[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

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

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  mother  of  Jane  Whalley  was  Frances  CromwelK  a  sister  of  Lady  Bar- 
rUigton;  of  Elizabeth,  raotlier  of  John  Hampden  5  and  of  Robert  CromwiiU,  the

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.

SOLDIERS  IN  KING  PHILIP'S  WAR. 

CommunicAted  by  t^e  Kev.  George  M.  Bodge,  A.M„  of  East  Buston^  Mnii, 

[Contiaoed  from  voU  xllv.  page  asi.] 

No,  XXX JL 

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

therii  as  robberr,  as  indeed  in  most  cases  it  was,  as  thej  seldom 
regained  their  arms  when  once  given  up.  We  can  now  see  that 
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

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* 


80  Soldiers  in  King  Philip's  War.  [Jan. 

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. 

The  following  is  a  copy  of  the  instrument,  line  for  line,  with  a  fac^ 
simile  of  the  two  signatures  in  exact  size  :—

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

Now  I  LAY  ME  DOWN  TO  SLEEP. — The  vciy  earliest  publication  in  print,  of 
which  I  have  any  knowledge,  of  the  familiar  little  prayer — 
**  Now  I  lay  me  down  to  sleep, 

I  pray  the  Lord  my  soul  to  keep ; 
If  I  should  die  before  I  wake, 
I  pray  the  Lord  my  soul  to  take  ** — 
was  in  the  old  "  New-England  Primer,"  the  first  edition  of  which  was  printed 
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.

Cntter  had  wives  Elizabeth  and  Frances  and  daughters  Elizabeth  by  each.  The

married  a  Hall.  From  dates  of  death  and  birth  neither  of  these  could  have  been

He  was  admitted  a  member  of  this  society  September  4,  1858.  The  Burke

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.) 

Brevet  Major-General  Adin  Ballou  Underwood,  A.B.,  a  life  member, 
admitted  to  the  Society,  Nov.  4,  1865,  died  at  Boston,  Mass.,  January  14,  1888, 
aged  59.  He  was  the  eldest  child  of  Brig.-Gen.  Orison  and  Mrs.  Hannah  Bond 
(Cheney)  Underwood  of  Milford,  Mass.,  and  was  born  in  that  town,  May  19, 
1828.  He  was  the  8th  generation  In  descent  from  Joseph'  Underwood,  an  early 
settler  of  Hingham,  Mass. ,  afterwards  of  Watertown,  tlirough  Joseph.*  Joshua,* 
Joseph,*  David,*  Joseph*  and  Orison^  Underwood,  his  father.  When  seventeen 
years  old  he  entered  Brown  University,  where  he  was  graduated  in  1849.  He 
studied  law  first  with  Hon.  Charles  R.  Train,  Framlngham,  then  at  tlie  Law 
School  of  Harvard  University,  and  then  with  Judge  B.  F.  Thomas  at  Worcester, 
after  which,  1852-3,  he  spent  one  year  In  Europe,  the  summer  months  at  Heidel- 
berg and  the  winter  months  at  Berlin,  attending  lectures  on  jurisprucience.  He 
was  admitted  to  the  bar  of  Worcester  County  in  Nov.  1853,  and  commenced 
practice  at  Milford,  and  was  for  a  few  years  associated  with  H.  B.  Staples. 
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 
then  resided  In  Newton,  and  was  among  the  most  active  in  encouraj^ing  re- 
cruiting In  that  town.  In  May,  1861,  he  accepted  a  commission  as  Captain  in 
the  Second  Massachusetts  regiment  commanded  by  Col.  George  H.  Gordon,  and 
left  the  state  with  this  regiment  the  8th  of  July.  In  1862,  he  was  coninilssioned 
as  Major  of  the  33d  regiment,  and  the  same  year  was  promoted  to  the  rank  of 
lieutenant-colonel.  In  April,  1863,  he  was  commissioned  as  colonel  of  the  regi- 
ment.   He  commanded  it  at  the  battle  of  Gettysburg.     The  regiment  was  soon

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

•*  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 
he  copied  any  portion  of  this  paper  from  a  draft  by  Mr,  Jett'erson,  or  any  other 
person.  It  is  the  original  first  draft  of  the  whole,  and  the  proof  of  it  is  in  no 
portion  of  the  whole  more  conspicuous  and  certain  than  in  the  '  latft-  four 
paragraphs  and  half  of  the  preceding  one '  claimed  as  liis  own  i>y  Jefferson — in 
his  old  age — and  accorded  to  him  without  doubt  or  hesitation  ever  since."  A 
reduced  fac-slmile,  by  Bierstadt,  of  the  manuscript  is  appended  to  Dr.  Moore's 
work. 

Mr.  Dickinson's  fame  as  a  patriot  and  an  author  is  ably  vindicated  in  these 
pages.  As  the  author  of  the  "  Farmer's  Letters,"  the  "  Liberty  Song,"  and 
otlier  writings,  he  won  a  high  reputation  in  Revolutionary  times;  and  Dr. 
Moore's  paper  shows  that  it  was  well  deserved. 

A  valuable  Appendix  is  added. 

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

Weedkn.     In  two  volumes.     Boston  and  New  York :  Houghton,  Mifflin  and

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

Mr.  Weeden  luduljjoa  in  no  fluttering  lyeneralitles,  bat  cites  his  anthoritiea,  and 
In  commercial  matters  often  takes  his  facts  from  the  r€f;ord  bonks  of  the  mer- 
chants of  the  period.  We  have  reviewed  many  hlHt*)rical  works,  and  for  the

be  obtained.    The  book  has  a  good  index.

•*  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

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

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.

Imulate  Interest  (one  fif  the  best  result**  wrought  by  a  good  WTlter)  In  re^iard 
to  the  history  of  the  period  treated  of,  and  lead  to  further  study  aud  research. 

The  author's  "Notes'*  (as  he  modestly  calls  them)  •' embrace  the  years  be- 
tvveer\  the  discovery  of  thLs  laud  by  Hudson  io  1609  and  the  recall  of  Gov.

*'  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-

;  *•  ^he  elegant  illustrations  and  careful  descriptions  in  this  volume  give  the 
.'jreader  a  feeling  of  personal  acquaintance  with  the  peaceful  people  who  inhabit- 
\  fid  the  Cumberland  Valley  perhaps  four  or  five  hundred  years  ago.    A  cordon  of 
f  ortH  and  outworks  protected  the  group  of  well-peopled  villages  where  consider- 
able progress  had  been  made  in  the  development  of  civilization  before  the  red  In- 
dian of  the  historical  period  overran  the  country.    The  author  traces  a  relation- 
ship and  considerable  commercial  intimacy  between  these  early  settlers  of  Tennes- 
see and  the  mound-builders  of  the  West,  and  shows  a  likeness  between  their  civili- 
zation and  that  of  Mexico  and  Peru.      Plans  are  given  showing  the  general  out- 
lines of  their  towns  and  houses  and  graves.    In  the  latter,  which  are  curious  stone 
boxes  constructed  with  great  skill,  have  been  found,  both  in  stone  and  pottery, 
their  cradles,  bowls,  pipes,  toys  and  ornaments,  their  ancestral  statues,  their 
weapons,  the  tools  of  their  trades,  and  utensils  of  their  religious  cercmoniaL

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  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

are  luuidsomety  printed  and  llltistrat^d  by  flue  engrayinga.    Each  work  hiLS  a 
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 
m&tter  !»*  here  preserved. 

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 
•  memorial  to  their  ancestors  and  kindred.  Memoirs  of  these  and  others  of  the 
family  are  given,  with  genealogical  matter  concerning  the  Darling,  Chauncey, 
SstIs,  Dana,  Ely,  Harlakenden,  Haynes,  Plerpout  and  Noyes  families.  It  is 
emijelliflhed  with  portraits  of  the  Kev.  C  C,  Darling  and  President  Chauncey  of 
Harvard  College. 

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

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.

SOLDIERS  IN  KING  PHILIP'S  WAR,

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.

[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

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

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 
*'  Upper  Falls  "  of  the  Connecticut,     Capt.  Turner  and  his  officers

of  soldiers  and  volunteers,  about  one  hundred  and 

at  Hatfield,  and  marched  out  at  evening  towards  the 


eluded  the  outposts  of  the  enemy,  and  at  daylight  arrived  undis- 
covered at  the  camp  of  the  Indians  at  the  fishing-place.  The  sav- 
ages were  asleep  io  their  wigwams,  and  the  English  rushed  down 
upon   them  and  shot  them  by  scoreSj   pointing  their  muskets  in

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.

Except  the  Chimneys,  for  which  y*  brick  are  making  &  will  be  Ready  in

Such  thiugs  as  they  shall  want  will  be  Lodg**  here,  I  Desire  therefore  that 
such  Necessarys  as  your  Honour  shall  think  it  proper  to  Supply  them

also  Trot  out  a  party  of  y*  Ablest  to  march  with  y*  mohawks  (if  they  come,

There  is  a  house  Lately  made  defenceable  near  y*  head  of 
York  river,  built  by  M^  Robert  Ciitt  and  some  few  Iiihabitatita  reside 
there,  the  keeping  of  wliich  bouse  will  bo  a  very  great  Annoyance  to  y" 
Enemy,  and  will  be  a  great  Security  to  the  greatest  part  of  Kittery  and  all 
the  Inhabitants  on  the  south  side  of  York  river,  it  being  the  place  where 
the  Indians  frequently  come  in  with  their  Scouts.  You  being  at  y*  head 
of  the  forces,  doubt  not  but  it  is  in  your  power*  therefore  our  humb^  request 
is,  that  Six  or  Eight  Soldiers  be  posted  there  for  the  reasons  above  said.

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 
Cup*  Tiltou  &  five  or  fi  fishermen.  I  went  out  to  bring  off  the  dead  men, 
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- 
ness l>eing  now  discovered.  The  Men  being  Posted  in  the  three  Garrisons 
I  Could  not,  at  this  Juncture,  send  off  a  Boat  w^  Intelligence  without 
danger  of  having  her  Surprized,  as  well  as  Runing  y*  hazard  of  Loosing

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

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 
Jesuits  to  the  last.

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."

Ihampdori  in  New  England^  1608. 


[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>

WOODHULL  ENTRIES  FROM  THE  PARISH  REGISTER  OF 

MOLUNGTON,  OXFORD  COUNTT,  ENGLAND. 

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 
Gen.  Maxwell  Van  Zandt  Woodhull,  of  Washington,  D.  C. 

RuFus  King.

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

of  John  the  emigrant.  The  recitals  in  this  deed  to  Mildred's  brother  Augustine

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.

Saffin  Family  (ante,  p.  42)— The  writer  of  the  article  in  your  January 
number  has  fallen  into  an  error  respecting  the  '*Berccau"  of  this  family. 
Wolvt-reston  or  Woolston  is  not  Wolverton  near  Frome  ou  the  eastern  boundary 
of  Somerset,  but  Is  a  hamlet  of  Bicknoller,  a  parish  situated  among  the  Quan- 
toek  Hills,  in  the  north  west  of  the  county. 

In  Brown's  *<  Somerset  Wills,"  edited  by  Dr.  Howard,  F.S.A.,  and  myself 
(2d  series  p.  25),  will  be  found  two  Baffin  wills.

2.  Edward  Saffyn  of  Stogumber,  Somerset,  Cfcnt.,  proved  15  Feb,  1620-1 ;  and 
there  are  other  references  to  the  family  In  the  3d  and  4th  series  of  the  same 
collection.

1678.    Hug.  Saflln  gen.  was  co,  patron  of  the  Rectory  of  Enmore. 

See  •*  Somerset  Incumbents,"  pp.  162,  36C,  395. 

Richard  SaMn  held  the  living  of  East  Pennard  only  for  four  years  and  then  It 
seems  that  he  moved  to  Gloucestershire,  for  we  find  one  of  the  same  name 
Vicar  of  Berkeley  in  1682,  in  which  year  his  petligree  was  entered  in  the  Visita- 
tion of  Gioacester»htre  (sec  F*fnwick  and  Metcalfe's  1682  Visitation  of  Glonces- 
terohire,  p.  151).  From  this  it  appea^^i  that  he  wan  the  sixth  son  of  Williana 
Saflyn  of  Newton  In  the  parisih  of  Bicknell  [Bicknoller,]  Somerset.  In  the 
ordnance  map  of  the  county',  Newton  Farm  is  to  be  found  close  to  the  hamlet 
of  Woolston,  both  in  the  parish  of  Bicknoller, 

Richard  Saffjm  died  in  1690  aged  53,  and  there  is  (or  was)  a  monument  to  him 
Id  Berkeley  Church.

CoUege»  Oxford.    See  Refriater  University  Oxoii,  Vol.  II,  Ft.  II.  21.'>. 

These  valuable  regi.sters  have  at  present  only  been  prmted  down  to  1622,  so 
that  I  am  unable  to  say  whether  Richard  SatUn  was  also  an  Oxford  man,

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.

HM  died  March  B,  1891,  at  her  late  rest-

Nov.  1,  1807;  married  May  10,  1827,

Mrs.  Thompson  was  a  lady  of  great 
refinement  aud  culture,  and  through 
her  long  life,  extending  over  83  years, 
the  held  a  high  place  in  the  esteem  of 
a  large  circle  of  New  York's  most  in- 
flacutial  people.  Her  husband  Darid 
Thompson,  who  iras  bom  May  3,  1798,

Mrs.  Eliza  G.  Watbub,  widow  of  the

IS,  1890,  at  t)ie  advanced  age  of  92 
years  9  mouths.  She  waa  the  mother 
of  Henry  F.  Waters,  A.M.^  whose  Eng- 
lish Genealogical  Gleanings  and  other 
contributions  to  the  IIeqistkk  are  well 
known. 

The  Saltm  QatetU  of  November  21flt 
■ays  of  her :  She  was  '*  the  inHfe  of  an 
honored  citixen,  the  devoted  mother  of 
quite  a  large  family,  the  mistress  of  a 
home  that  waa  noted  for  its  wide  and 
cordial  hospitality.  She  wa^  a  woman 
of  such  geuitil  spirit  that  she  drew  a 
large  circle  of  friends  ahout  her,  and  to 
the  lost  kept  up  her  interest  in  them. 
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- 
ful greeting,  her  genuine  affection,  which 
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 
plan,  and  execute  almost  as  wdl  as  in 
the  days  of  her  youth.  What  a  witnesa 
is  such  a  life  to  God's  unfailing  good- 
ness and  love.  We  may  rejoice  that 
she  has  lived  so  long,  and  now

place,  and  was  the  last  representativ* 
of  her  family  resident  there.  At  ths 
time  of  her  death  she  was  within  a  few 
days  of  her  seventieth  year,  having  been 
bom  upoQ  December  24,  1820,  at  the 
old  homestead,  in  the  very  room  where 
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 
historiciaJ  aud  antiquarian  tastes  of  her 
father,  and  it  was  her  special  care  that 
the  old  home  t^hould  retain  unimpaired 
the  familiar  atmosphere  of  the  past,  in 
the  old-fofihioned  furnishings  of  the 
last  century. 

Mijis  Wendell  was  a  descendant  in 
the  seventh  generation  fsee  R^oistKlt,

East  Friesland,  to  the  Dutch  Province 
of  New  Netherland  (the  present  New

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 : — 
**  quofum  pears  magna  Juit/* 

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

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.

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

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. 
Two  days  later,  after  funeral  services  at  King*s  Chapel,  Ids  body 
was  buried  at  Mt.  Auburn  Cemetery  beside  those  of  his  wife  and 
eldest  son.

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." 

Another  human  life  has  swept  by  in  the  stream  of  eternity,  but 
the  ripples  it  made  in  the  current  in  passing  have  left  their  marks 
on  the  shore ; 

"  And  learning  lives,  and  verta  stUI  doth  shine, 
When  foIUe  dies,  and  ignoraunoe  doth  pine."

.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

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."

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

all  the  rights  and  privileges  thereto  belonging.  Gary  Latham  South  and

The  preceding  lot  conveyed  to  Bancroft,  according  to  the  situation  and

of  lijMtrle  Street,  and  this  family  went  with  Hooker  to  Connecticut. 

Mr.  Paige  says  John  Masters  ditrd  December  22,  1639,  and  his  widow

the  Town  1637,  August  14th,  granted  John  Bridge  "liberty  to  set  the

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

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,

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

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

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

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.

196         Title  and  History  of  the  Henry  VuB9all  Estate,     [July, 

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 


1891.]     Title  and  History  of  the  Henrtf  Vaasall  Estate.        197 

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,

^  Boston  May  13**^  1774. 

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

of  and  ease  the  American  Trade:  but  he  assured  y^u  will  be  called  upon  to 
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.

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. 
This  will  was  sold  to  Mr.  Collins  for  $700.  The  original  of  the  release  of  Roger 
Md  Mildred  Gregory  here  printed  was  In  the  same  collection.    The  relics  sold

well  known  gtMR'alogical  hooksclU'i*  iu  Londoii,  advtTtLsed  for  sale  a  deed  of 
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

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- 
ing it  before  his  readers  with  other  iuteresting  Washington  documents.  The

This  morning  about  Ten  a  Clock  Cap*"  Franklin  brought  in  this 
Maloncholly  Account  VissV  That  the  Indians  on  the  first  of  May  last  way- 
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 
Comp^  being  at  the  Westward  and  the  army  is  so  decreast  as  I  have 
already  given  your  Hon'  an  Ace*  of  in  part  and  shall  be  able  to  give  it  in

JOHN  SMTTH  OF  BULFORD,  NEW  HAVEN  COLONY,

FIFTH  GENERATION. 

Compiled  by  EoBsat  Atwatsh*  (DAat^TT,*  Clab.^*)  Sjiii^,»  of  New  HaTen,  C(*nn. 

JoHjf*  Smith  [16— -1684],  a  tettler  of  Blillord,  Conn.,  iq  1640,  is 
presumed  to  have  been  one  of  several  from  Hertfordshire  who  conid  not 
leave  England  in  1 637,  when  the  Rev,  Peter  Prudden  and  others  from 
that  section  of  England  sailed  m  the  company  of  the  Rev.  John  Davenport^ 
Gov.  Theophilus  Eaton,  Deputy  Gov.  Stephen  Goodyear  and  other  persona 
from  London  who  came  to  this  country  in  the  ships  Hector  and  Martin  [?J 
Id  1637.  It  is  probable  he  came  direct  from  England  to  New  Haven  in  0D# 
of  the  three  ships  which  sailed  in  1 639  to  New  Haven,  via :  the  St,  Johns* 
CapU  Russell;  the  Fair  Weather,  which  reached  New  Haven  before  July 
28,  1639 ;  and  the  third  ship  (name  unknown)  which  arrived  soon  after,  pro- 
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.

only  John  is  mentioned;  probably  the  wife  and  the  daughter,  Ruth

238  Genealogical  Gleanings  in  England.  [July, 

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. 

♦'  From  dame  [Rev.  C.  J.  Robinson,  curate  of  Great  Berkhampstcad,  Herts],

these:

*  No  occurrence  of  the  name  is  to  be  fonnd  among  the  Marriages;  but  I  should 
add  that  the  Registers  have  been  ill  kept,  and  there  are  many  gaps  in  them.'  "

of  George  Washington  would  hiivy^  been  lefl  sstill  fihooting  in  the  air,  Wc  appreciate  lUl

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.

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

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. 

2.  Was  FrauLis  French,  wlio  came  over  In  the  Defence  in  lG3o  with  William

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.

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.

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.

The  near  approach  of  the  fourth  centenary  of  the  discovery  of  America  by 
Columbus,  in  1492,  creates  a  fresh  interest  in  the  Pre-Columbian  discoveries, 
and  we  are  glad  to  welcome  in  print  tids  discourse  on  the  adventures  of  the 
Northmen  by  a  scholar  so  well  qnalitled  a»  the  Rev.  Dr.  Slafter  is  to  treat  the 
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-

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

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

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 
will  min|jle  in  it.  Commerce,  enterprise,  art,  learning,  charity,  patriotism, 
religion,  all  will  claim  the  right  to  be  heard,  and  to  adil  their  several  notes 
to  the  full  harmony  of  the  strain.  But  ours  to-day  is  a  humbler  mv\  yet  a 
tenderer  and  more  sacred  ofllice.  We  his  friends,  you  his  neighbors  and 
townsmen,  the  men  and  women  who  have  grown  up  with  him,  who  knew 
hira  in  days  of  youth  and  hardship,  and  whom  with  gruwiiig  affection  he 
has  loved  in  his  days  of  prosperity  and  ripened  matdiood,  we  have  gathered 
here  iy  this  church  which  he  built  in  loviug  memory  of  the  fathers  and 
mothers,  his  and  yours,  whose  piety  was  dear  to  him  and  to  you, — wo  have 
gathered  here,  not  to  speak  and  to  hear  such  stately  words  of  well  deserved 
praise  aa  of  others  none  could  speak  so  well  a^  he,  but  to  talk  to  oue 
another  in  homely,  heartfelt  phrase  of  the  frient]  we  have  lost;  to  solace 
our  grief  by  recounting  the  virtues  which  endeared  him  to  us;  to  give 
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, 
and  his  children,  and  his  townsmen  of  many  generations,  in  that  beautiful 
spot  where  many  of  you  will  also  in  due  time  be  gathered  to  hira  and  to

**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

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.' "

About  half  an  hour  before  Sun  setting  We  saw  li?e  Vessels  coming

her  if  they  sbou'd  come  any  nearer*  whereupon  the  Inclian  calJ'd  to  them  to 
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 
Truce.  They  made  the  Captive  speak  to  us  encouraging  us  that  weshou'd 
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. 
About  ten  of  the  Clock  in  the  Night  we  fir'd  one  Gun  at  thera  at  which 
they  spread  themselves  about  the  Garrison  and  made  an  hideous  Yelling, 
after  which  they  lay  still,  the  remaining  part  of  the  nighL 

The  next  morning,  being  Wednesday,  they  came  to  the  same  place  with 
their  Flag  of  Troce,  where  they  did  the  night  before,  anci  when  we  put  up 
our  Flag  the  same  Ind"  l>egan  to  speak  as  follows. 

INDIAN.  You  no  give  up  the  Garrison,  promising  us  good  Quarters 
as  before. 

COMM'''.  No,  saying,  withal,  if  there  were  ten  thousand  of  them  ho 
shou'd  not  vio  it- 

INDIAN.  Then  we  take  it,  threatning  to  kill  us  all  like  Dogs,  if  so  be 
it  cost  them  any  labour  to  take  it. 

CO&IM'*'.  We  vahie  You  not,  nor  w^hat  you  can  do,  for  if  You  have  the 
Garrison  You  must  take  it  by  force  of  Arms,  wh"**  you  nor  all  y*  Indians  in 
y*  Eastern  Country  can  do. 

INDIAN.  What  do  You  stay  here  for,  You  can  do  do  thing  but  lose 
men,  and  it  is  not  worth  your  while  only  for  the  sake  of  keeping  that  house, 
telling  us  that  we  had  lost  a  great  many  men  already,  and  ehoud  lose 
more,  for  they  wou'd  lye  at  our  backside  &  keep  their  Vessels  in  the  river, 
BO  that  we  shou'd  not  get  away,  neither  shou'd  any  help  come  to  us. 

COftlM*^'.     Here  is  a  good  Harbour  You  may  stay  here  and  W^elcome. 

INDIAN.     How  long  You  Stay  here. 

CUM>r''.     It  may  be  two  Years  or  more. 

INDIAN.     It  is  not  your  Land. 

COJIM''^  It  is  King  George's  Land,  and  the  Govero'  baa  given  me  a 
Commissioti  to  defend  it,  and  if  there  were  ten  thousand  of  You  I  wou'd 
fight  You,  for  I  ciirae  fur  nothing  else. 

INDIAN.  What's  the  reason  that  King  George's  Land  men  no  go  to 
King  George  to  get  any  of  his  Land. 

COMM*^.  Your  Fathers  sold  this  Land  to  the  great  men  in  Boston,  it 
mAy  be  for  a  little  money,  and  now  you  want  more,  for  Indians  are  never 
Satisfied. 

INDIAN.     You  lye,  my  father  never  received  one  Penny. 

COMM*''.  You  lye,  I  speak  the  truth,  the  Land  is  not  yours,  and  You 
shall  never  have  it. 

INDIAN.     0  You  much  Stout,  WTiy  You  no  come  out  into  the  Woods. 

COMM*'.  It  is  not  my  business,  I  was  sent  here  to  keep  y*  Fort  & 
that  I  will  do  in  spite  of  You  it  all  that  You  cau  do. 

They  told  us  their  chief  Capt"  Name  was  Jotd.  After  Abundance  of 
threatmngs  they  left  us  and  weut  down  the  river  to  their  Vessels  and  in  a

Thursday  the  23**  about  ten  of  the  Clock  in  the  foreooon  We  saw  umeteen 
CaoDoes  come  from  the  Vessels  that  went  to  Wes&owwesgig  Canning 
Place,  besides  others  that  were  left  with  the  Vea«e!^  They  did  not  come 
nigh  MS  all  this  day  till  rowards  night,  and  then  about  ten  of  them  came  la 
the  Point  on  the  other  aide  of  the  river^  and  brought  the  Captive  with 
them  in  order  to  sell  him  to  us.  HaYing  had  some  talk  about  the  Price 
they  thro*  much  persuuion  let  the  Captive  come  to  us,  and  ha^iug  gi^eu 
him  some  \^ctuals  We  sent  hiin  back  again  with  a  Juckett  &  pair  of 
breeches  to  shew  them.  They  lik'd  them  very  well  and  eent  the  CaptivQ 
to  us  again.  The  Command^  sent  over  a  red  Coat  which  they  took  a  great 
fancy  to  bo  that  when  the  Captive  went  with  it  to  them  he  with  our  per- 
s  was  ions  got  hh  Master  to  come  over  on  this  side  to  agree  with  our  C-om- 
mand^  about  the  Price,  but  tho*  our  Com  maud'  went  out  and  us'd  many 
intreatiea  he  could  not  prevail  with  the  Indian  to  come  within  sight  of  y* 
GarTi.sou.  At  last  the  Captive  beitig  ad^'U*d  by  our  Comman<r  protfer'd  to 
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 
rec*^  for  they  never  came  to  us  after,  but  went  away,  early  the  next  morning. 
We  had  Ace*  by  the  Captive  that  there  was  one  Indian  morully  wounded 
in  the  fight.  Vera  Copia  p'  W™  Coyne  for  Lieu*  W"  Canady. 

August  y*  27"*  I  went  down  the  river  with  a  boats  crew,  in  Company  with 
Lieu*  Banks  who  went  with  three  boats,  and  by  that  time  we  had  got  two 
miles  from  the  Garrison  on  board  Capt  Saund'[er8],  who  was  then  going 
away,  the  Indians  fir'd  upon  the  Garrison.  [The  paper,  of  the  original,  in 
the  next  line  is  so  worn  and  broken,  by  folding,  as  to  make  the  letters

Garrison,  but  cou'd  not  find  any  thing  of  them. 

We  have  discovered  the  Indians  several  times  since,  but  they  have  not 
done  us  any  damage,  by  reason  of  our  keeping  in  the  Garrison  for  the  most 
part.

war-whoop,  they  make  a  general  rush!  200  British  and  their  families  all 
slaughtered!  An  awful  calamity,  and  unknown  abroad  until  after  the 
arrival  and  retreat  of  Fontiac  and  his  Indian  warriors;  in  August,  at 
Detroit.  At  this  time  there  was  in  the  Detroit  gurrison  about  800  British

In  November,  1763,  obtained  my  dismifidion  and  went  home*  Married 
Sybel  Wyman,  being  then  2*2  years  old,  aod  she  27  years  old.  We  lived 
together  Z%}^  years.  lu  May,  '64,  lived  at  Milford,  then  at  Amherst,  N.  H*, 
farming,  teaming,  etc,,  until  1775,  Moved  to  Bucklaud,  Maas^  in  1779. 
My  chiblren  were:  Hugh,  James  (in  Ohio),  Joshua  (in  New  York),  Thomp- 
lon  (in  New  York),  and  Betsey.  In  \%Q%  my  first  wife  died.  In  1807,

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 
patriots  triumphed,  1774-5,  at  Amherst,  the  country  alarmed.  Volun- 
teers enrolled,  minute-men  raised,  etc.  Arms  collected,  soldiers  kept  on 
drill,  alarms  frequent,  all  much  engaged. 

1775,  April  18.  Happened  at  Boston,  with  my  team,  and  that  evening

following  them  to  Charlestown.  This  day  Capt.  Wilson  killed.  The  re- 
port of  Americans  killed  50,  and  wounded  70.  Of  the  British  65  killed,

of  engagements,  vicissitudes  and  events,  so  extraordinary,  connected 
with  one  human  life,  and  some  among  the  most  important  in  our

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. :

1.  A  Letter  of  Marqne,  ^iveti  by  Col.  Rieliard  Phillipa,  jjoveruor  of  Nova 
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. 

3.  A  eoininlssiou  from  the  Klngr,  appointing  John  Elliot,  who  appears  to  have 
been  orijjinally  frorFi  Topshara,  co.  Devon,  in  En^lniid,  to  the  otHee  of  collector 
of  cil8t<jms  at  Newbury  (now  Newburyport)^  New  England. 

Referring  to  HutchinBOD's  History  of  Massachusetts,  Vol,  II.,  266-7,  we 
find  that,  in  the  latter  part  of  July,  1722,  the  Eastern  Indiaus,  instigated 
by  the  French, 

*'S«rpn-setl  Canso,  and  other  harbors  near  to  it,  and  took  sixte<m  or  »cven- 
teensail  of  fishing  vesselSt  all  belonglntr  to  Masaachusetts.  Governor  Phillips 
hAppened  to  be  at  Canso,  and  caused  two  sloops  to  be  mauued,  partly  with 
volunteer  sailors  from  merchants'  venselt*  which  were  loadin;y^  wltli  llsli,  and 
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. 

Clark,"  only  son  of  CapL  John  Elliott,  b.  Dec,  26,  bapt.  Dec.  31,  1732, 
at  Old  North  Church,  was  an  apprentice  of  Thomas  Greenough,  in  Bos-

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.

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 
Of  the  name  in  sercral  shires  of  England  and  Irehmd,  with  those  carred  on  the

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

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

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

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 
Gleanings,  I.  2»1,  for  Elizabeth  Fawkner*s  will.) 
The  "  nephew  Edward  Bulkeley  here  in  England/*  of  John  Bulkeley**  wlll» 
L  and  the  '*  cousin  Edward  Bnlkeley"  with  wife  Sarah  and  daughter  Elizabeth 
I  (less  than  twenty-one  in  1720)  of  Elizabeth  Fawkner's  will,  nmy  have  been  the 
Bon  of  Hon.  Peter*  Bulkeley  (liev.  Edward,*  Ke\%  Peteri)  perhaps,  broufjht 
hLs  father  to  England  in  1676,  and  left  in  his  uncle  John  Bulkeley's  care.    (Gt 
Ings  I.,  285-^;  REGifiTEii,  1868,  p.  276-6.)     As  he  was  Uie  eldest  son  of 
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 
and  Elizabeth,  all  IWlog  In  1601)  ;  Slauter  V.  died  between  lli.'iO  and  1«01 ;  Jo 
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© 
169L 

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.

Mr.  Taft  also  furnished  from  the'Bishops'  Register  at  Wells  the  following  for

Savage  mentions  Naomi  Torrey  who  married  Rlchartl  Sylvester  at  Weymouth 
In  KW2,  and  8ays  whe  was  ••  probably  aister  of  William."  Fn>ra  the  will  of 
Phillip  this*  would  appear  not  to  bo  tin?  ease,  yet  SainueL  son  of  Capt.  William, 
in  bi.s  will  iu  1707,  mentions  Jtdin  Luwle  (who  was  iirobably  a  grandson  of

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 
Harvard,  Henry  Dnnster,  was,  however,  born  iu  Lancashire,  and  I  merely  note

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 
Wotton-nndtT-Edge  In  Glouc**ster9hlre,  brongbt  to  light  the  baptisms  of  tbe  fol- 
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 
Haighbtirne.  They  came  to  New  England  and  settled  in  Rnxbnry,  where  the 
hnsbaud  died  Jan.  24,  Ui43.  An  abstract  of  bis  will  is  printed  In  the  Rkoistkr,

ANCESTORS  OP  GYI.ES  MERRILL. 

Bf  SAKt^Bi,  M£tLttJt.l,^  A.B*,  LL.B.,  of  Cambridge,  MaM. 

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 
living  can  be  traced  into  so  many  family  lines  without  meeting  biood

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, 

The  form  in  which  the  tabic  is  drawn  up  is  unlike  that  usually 
followed,  but  it  offers  some  advanljigCH  for  its  purpose,  and  may  be 
upefol  for  its  suggest! venees  to  others  undertaking  a  similar  table  of

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

no  one  expected  him  back  again  except  his  wife,  who  was  sure  he  would  come,

pirates  he  put  his  mtnniy  hi  an  old  tin  pail,  battered  it  up  and  put  It  ciireiessly 
on  deck.  Am  tiie  pirates  walked  along  the  deck  one  would  give  it  a  kick  out  of 
the  way  and  tijen  another,  hut  no  one  suspected  what  was  in  it,  and  he  saved  hla

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 
the  State  of  New  York.  Yates,  who  was  chairman  of  the  committee  for 
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- 
ward. He  wa-s  Ma|or»  1778-9,  in  Itth  regiment,  or  2d  Claverack  battalion  of 
State  militia,  Col.  Peter  Van  Nens ;  and,  in  the  wprhig  of  1781.  he  and  Marinns 
WlUet  were  Licnt.  Colonel  conimandanta  of  regiment-s  raised  for  the  immediate 
defence  of  the  State.     He  died  at  Livingston,  N.  Y.,  June  9,  1822,  aged  77.

Robert  A.  Brock,  F.R.H.S.,  the  secretary  and  librarian  of  the  Virginia  Histori. 
cal  Society,  has  held  the»e  ofllcei*  we  think  fur  about  !*ixleen  years,  liavini?  suc-

l>eeu  commenced  under  his  editorship,  and  ten  volumes  of  sterling;  worlli  have 
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, 
and  the  other  important  historical  work  of  Mr.  Brock.  There  is  great  want  of 
a  tmid  sutHcient  to  place  the  work  on  a  permanent  foundation.

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- 
pendices to  the  several  volumes  of  the  Year  Book  of  Charleston,  during  his 
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 
early  consideration,  Gko.  A,  GOiiDOif.

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

In  politics,  devotifig  his  time  to  the  duties  of  his  profession,  and  seeking  diver-

Masonic  order,  and  published  valuable  papers  in  connection  with  it.  He  became 
a  member  of  the  New^-England  Historic  Genealogical  Society  August  7,  1867. 
He  was  a  devout  member  of  the  Protestant  Episcopal  Church,  and  was  one  of

one  child,  a  daughter;  secondly,  in  1877,  Sarah  M.  Davis,  daughter  of  the  Hon.

vol.  24,  pp.  349-53;  vol.  26,  p.  447).  He  was  elected  to  membership,  July  11, 
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. 

Edward  Montague  Gary  came  from  a  family  that  lias  been  prominent 
socially  in  and  around  Boston  for  many  generations. 

They  descend  from  Richard*  Gary  of  Bristol,  England,  born  circa  1520.  He 
had  by  his  wife  Anna,  amongst  other  children,  a  son  William.*  Richard*  Gary 
died  at  Bristol  1570,  and  was  buried  in  the  Parish  of  St.  Nicholas. 

William*  Gary  was  born  at  Bristol  1550;  married  Alice  Goodall.  He  was 
Sheriff  and  Mayor  of  Bristol.  William*  Gary  and  Alice  his  wife  had  as  their 
seventh  child  a  son,  James,*  baptized  at  the  Church  of  St.  Nicholas.

the  pleAwure  of  beinj?  his  selioohuate  at  the  Academy  of  the  learued  and  eccen* 
trie  Greenleaf  In«jraham,  tlfty  yeara  a^o.  "  The  boy  wa:*  the  fatlier  of  the

mates.  lie  hated  ineauaess  and  deceit,  and  deuouticed  them  wlieuever  he  met 
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 
bis  father's  family  for  many  years,  ju^oing  often  in  the  summer  to  Nashon,  and  to 
Cohasset  where  lie  owmxl  a  place  and  cottaiii^e  which  he  Imllt  in  1872, 

Mr.  Cary  wa.s  elected  a  resident  member  of  this  sf>ciety  May  4,  1804.  He 
was  much  "interested  in  the  subject  of  genealogy,  and  with  tlie  aid  of  ancient 
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 
aceomptish  in  that  direction. 

In  tht'  spring  nf  ISH'j,  Mr.  Car}'  and  his  wife  made  the  trip  to  Callfomia,  and 
in  lf4^4  and  1885  they  enjoyed  adeliirhtful  visit  to  Europe. 

Says  one  who  km-w  him  most  intimately  :  "He  was  a  tndy  genial  and  kindly 
friend  and  neighbor,  always  upright  and  honest.  He  succeeded  in  making  every 
one  around  him  happy,  and  children  delighted  In  him."  Evidently  in  maabood 
exactly  what  he  was  as  a  bijy.

the  ailmirable  collection  of  Mr.  Henry  Cary  hung  upon  its  walls.  This  house 
was  ever  the  abode  of  the  most  generous  hospitality,  and  was  situateti  on  a

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

biilU  a  pretty  villa,  and  wetlled  down  to  pass  the  life  that  remained  in  the 
pleaijant  leisure  of  liis  books,  of  which  he  had  a  larj^e  and  well-chuseu  collec- 
tion. But  with  ndvanrinu  years  the  old  ailment  revived,  and  he  was  attacked 
by  paralysis,  wldeh  tln>nu:h  of  a  comparatively  li^ht  nature,  took  much  of  his 
strenjrth.  As  this  attlietion  Is  usually  accompanied  by  others,  In  this  case  a 
slltjhl  tendency  to  apnplexy  also  showed  itself,  antl  his  medical  adviser  eou- 
eiderinj^  that  change  of  air  was  absolutely  oeeessary.  he  went  to  Yorkshire  lu 
company  with  ids  son,  and  at  llkley,  near  Leeds,  under  eare  of  the  famous  Dr. 
Scott,  he  rapidly  improved.  There  la  no  doubt  that  this  chanjrc  fniin  the  too- 
excitinjj  atnutsjiliere  of  the  Heath  district  of  Itampstead  savi^d  his  life  for  the

more  years  of  existence.  But  tlioush  attended  with  every  care  and  seeming 
"well,  he  was  always  liable  to  paralytic  seizures^  and  after  an  especially  pleasant

work  much  of  that  f|uaint  Mediaeval  delicacy  wldeh  is  now  ho  Id^hly  prized  by

the  last  record  of  his  features  should  be  by  the  sympathetic  hand  of  the  painter 
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

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

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.

of  Kifntqckr.  son  of  tbe  chief  Jo«Uoe,  In  replj  md  TvfsUtion  of  **  Tlie  P^Uticftl 
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

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. 

Dr.  Raven's  work,  though  specifically  of  the  bells  of  Suffolk,  interweares  a

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 
the  handwriting  of  Miijnr  William  Johnson,  the  second  town  clerk,  and  not,  aa 
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.

less  fortunate  in  ancestral  lineage,  readily  forgives  the  entlmsiasfD  which  enter-

ginia. By  Rev*  Fiirij:!'  SLAraiiTEn,  1)1),,  late  Historiographer  of  the  Dio- 
cese. Edited  by  R.  A.  BuocK,  hUIi  a  biofjrBphy  of  the  Axithor,  and  a  contin- 
nation,  embracing  the  History  of  St-  Geory:e'r*  and  Trinity  Churchea  Uj  the

The  biographical  notice  of  Dr.  Slan^hter,  by  R.  A.  IJrock — the  editor  of  this 
worlc — is  well-written  and  is  a  fitting  introduction  to  this  contrlbntlnn  to  the 
history  of  the  Old  Dominion.  Dr.  Slangliter  was  a  member  of  this  Society, 
And  it  is  evident  from  reading  thla  monoijriiph  of  his  that  he  was  deeply  inter- 
ested in  all  Mrituricfli  matters^  ewpectally  in  those  pertaining  to  his  native  state. 
That  he  was  a  fre<iaei»t  contributor  to  the  stores  of  antUjiiarian  and  historical 
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."

narrative,  given  the  history  of  each  expeditloa,  its  inception  and  its  achieve-

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.

by  us  in  April  of  that  year.  This  year  '*  Eastern  Worcester,"  the  work  now  be-

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

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

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.

NOTE. 


More  than  two  years  ago,  a  Committee  specially  charged  with  the 
work  of  thoroughly  revising  and  completing  the  Rolls  of  MEMBEiisiiip 
of  the  Society  from  its  foundation  in  1844  was  appointed  by  the  CoLiucil. 
The  result  of  the  Committee's  labors  upon  the  Resident  Roll  is  pre- 
seated  in  this  number  of  the  Registeb. 

All  Residences  are  in  Massachusetts  unless  the  contrary  is  stated, 
and  are  those  of  Members  at  the  time  of  their  Ehctloii.  Villages  and 
Postuflices  are  not  recognized,  except  those  within  the  present  limits 
of  Boston. 

All  Academic  Degrees  which  Members  have  received,  except  A.B. 
when  followed  by  A.M.,  and  D.B.  when  followed  by  D.D.,  are  intended 
to  bo  given. 

The  title  of  "  Honorable "  and  military  titles  are  omitted,  except 
that  officers  of  the  regular  Army  and  Navy  are  designated  by  the 
imttals  U.  S.  A.  and  U.  S.  N. 

The  title  of  "  Reverend  "  is  appended  in  parentheses  to  the  names 
of  Clergymen  who  have  not  received  the  degree  of  D.B.  or  D.D. 


If  any  omissions  or  other  errors  should  bo  discovered  in  the  following 
pages,  it  is  earnestly  requested  that  immediate  notice  thereof  be  given  to 
the  undersigned,  in  order  that  the  same  may  be  rectified  in  the  electro- 
type plates  before  the  Rolls  are  printed  in  separate  form  in  the  autumn 
of  1891. 

The  Honorary  Roll  and  the  Corresponding  Roll  will  be  printed  in 
the  July  number  of  the  Register.
