This  is  a  digital  copy  of  a  book  that  was  preserved  for  generations  on  library  shelves  before  it  was  carefully  scanned  by  Google  as  part  of  a  project 
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. 

Marks,  notations  and  other  marginalia  present  in  the  original  volume  will  appear  in  this  file  -  a  reminder  of  this  book's  long  journey  from  the 
publisher  to  a  library  and  finally  to  you. 

Usage  guidelines 

Google  is  proud  to  partner  with  libraries  to  digitize  public  domain  materials  and  make  them  widely  accessible.  Public  domain  books  belong  to  the 
public  and  we  are  merely  their  custodians.  Nevertheless,  this  work  is  expensive,  so  in  order  to  keep  providing  this  resource,  we  have  taken  steps  to 
prevent  abuse  by  commercial  parties,  including  placing  technical  restrictions  on  automated  querying. 

We  also  ask  that  you: 

+  Make  non-commercial  use  of  the  files  We  designed  Google  Book  Search  for  use  by  individuals,  and  we  request  that  you  use  these  files  for 
personal,  non-commercial  purposes. 

+  Refrain  from  automated  querying  Do  not  send  automated  queries  of  any  sort  to  Google's  system:  If  you  are  conducting  research  on  machine 
translation,  optical  character  recognition  or  other  areas  where  access  to  a  large  amount  of  text  is  helpful,  please  contact  us.  We  encourage  the 
use  of  public  domain  materials  for  these  purposes  and  may  be  able  to  help. 

+  Maintain  attribution  The  Google  "watermark"  you  see  on  each  file  is  essential  for  informing  people  about  this  project  and  helping  them  find 
additional  materials  through  Google  Book  Search.  Please  do  not  remove  it. 

+  Keep  it  legal  Whatever  your  use,  remember  that  you  are  responsible  for  ensuring  that  what  you  are  doing  is  legal.  Do  not  assume  that  just 
because  we  believe  a  book  is  in  the  public  domain  for  users  in  the  United  States,  that  the  work  is  also  in  the  public  domain  for  users  in  other 
countries.  Whether  a  book  is  still  in  copyright  varies  from  country  to  country,  and  we  can't  offer  guidance  on  whether  any  specific  use  of 
any  specific  book  is  allowed.  Please  do  not  assume  that  a  book's  appearance  in  Google  Book  Search  means  it  can  be  used  in  any  manner 
anywhere  in  the  world.  Copyright  infringement  liability  can  be  quite  severe. 

About  Google  Book  Search 

Google's  mission  is  to  organize  the  world's  information  and  to  make  it  universally  accessible  and  useful.  Google  Book  Search  helps  readers 
discover  the  world's  books  while  helping  authors  and  publishers  reach  new  audiences.  You  can  search  through  the  full  text  of  this  book  on  the  web

NATHANIEL  FOSTER  SAFFORD. 

By  the  Rcr.  Q bob ok  Madisom  Bo  dob,  of  Lcomiiutcr,  Mam. 

Nathamkl  Fostku  Saffoud  wai  born  nt  Salem,  Mass..  in  the 
numbered  19  Winter  Street.  September  19,  1815,  and 
his  home  in  Milton,  April  2">,  1891,  full  of  years,  beloved 
aad  honored  by  all  who  have  known  him  either  in  his  public  re- 
lation* or  in  die  way  of  personal  acquaintance  and  friendship. 

U  hen  n  man  like  Mr.  Sufibrd  passes  sway,  we  can  better  appre- 
ciate how  large  a  place  he  has  filled,  by  the  vacancy  which  he  Ie;i 
¥ur  more  than  fifty  years,  as  a  member  of  the  Massachusetts  bar, 
be  has  held  hi.-*  honorable  place  as  a  lawyer  of  eminent  ability  and 
nnbJcQiighed  integrity.     Conservative  in  his  opinions  and  methods, 
he  was  yet  strong  in  his  convictions,  and  prompt  to  act  in  the  way 
they  pointed.     There  are  few   names  which  show  a  fairer  record, 
_•  ami  honorable  lists  of  the  bar  of  Eastern   Massa- 
chusetts.     From  his   early   years    of   practice,   Mr.    Sarlbrd  was 
.ted  to  important  positions  of  public  trust,  and  in  every  case 
red  the  place  by  bis  ability  and  fidelity.      As  a  public  official 
be  showed  a  shrewd  and  ready  understanding  of  men  and  affairs, 
his  easy  and  quiet  courtesy  might  not  lead  one  to  suspect. 
And,  under  all  circumstances,  Mr.  Suiford  was  a  gentleman,  in  the 
fall  meaning  of  the  term,  as  all  who  hnve  met  him  in  any  place  or 
ttlnti.  As  a  presiding  officer,  on  the  floor  of  public 

debate,  in  the  social  circle, — and  especially  in  that  kindly,  courtly 
eoedu.  h  characterized  his  welcome  of  friends  to  hie  home, 

be  was  all  gentleman.     The  deep  interest  which  be  bad 

a  tl;  i     Historic    Genealogical    Society,"    and   his 

valuable  services  to  it  through  many  years,  make  it  peculiarly  fitting 
tbat  this  memoir  should  herein  appear.  His  own  antiquarian  tastes 
lad  carefu  lies  have  mode  it   an  easy  as  well  as  a  pleasant 

doty  to  give  here  a  brief  sketch  of  his  family's  American  lineage.

tome  time  prior  to  1611.     They  hud  a  son,  John'  Safford,  married 

Sarah .  and  settled  in  Ipswich,  where  their  son, 

Thomas'  Safford,  was  born  October  16,  1672;  and  married 
Elinor  Shatswell,  October  7,  1698.  She  was  probably  the  widow 
of  Richard  Shuts  well,  and  daughter  of  Daniel  Cheney. 

Siki-iikn'  Safford,  son  of  the  above  parents,  born  at  Ipswich, 
March  10,  1716,  married  Sarah  Jarvis.  He  died  nt  Ipswich,  July 
22,  1767. 

Nathan'  Safford,  son  of  the  above,  born  at  Ipswich,  June  5, 
1760,  married  September  29,  1785,  Elizabeth  Foster,  of  Salem, 
daughter  of  Capt.  Nathaniel  Foster,  and  lineal  descendant  of 
Reginald  Foster  of  Ipswich  in  [688,  They  removed  to  North 
Yarmouth,  Maine,  soon  after  marriage,  and  there  made  their  home, 
and  there  died;  he  December  27,  1823,  and  bIic  April  1,  1826. 

Naihamkl  Foster*  Safford  was  born  at  North  Yarmouth, 
Maine,  June  13,  1786;  and  died  at  Salem,  November  20,  1847. 
lie  removed  to  Salem  in  1806,  at  the  age  of  twenty,  and  there  mar- 
ried, August  8th,  1808,  Sally,  daughter  of  George  and  Sally  Smith, 
born  in  Sulem,  July  11.  1791 .  and  died  March  16,  1810,  aged  18 
yrs.  8  moa.  5  days.  Of  this  marriage,  Sarah  was  born  at  Salem, 
M  iv  16,  1809.  He  married  2d,  Hannah,  daughter  of  William  and 
Mary  Woodbury,  of  Hamilton,  Mass.,  born  June  18,  1791,  and 
died  it  Salem,  April  18,  1856.  Of  these  parents  were  burn  two 
sons,  Nnthaniel  Foster'  Safford,  Jr.,  born  July  14,  1814,  died 
November  28,  1814,  and  Nathaniel  Foster  Safford,  Jr.,  the  subject 
of  this  memoir,  born,  as  stated  before,  in  Salem,  September  19, 
1815.  He  married  in  Dorchester,  February  10,  1845,  Josephine 
Eugenia  Morton,  daughter  of  Joseph  and  Mary  (Wheeler)  Morton 
lilton,  and  a  lineal  descendant  of  George  and  .Julia  Anne 
(Carpenter)  Morton,  of  York,  England,  who  came  to  Plymouth, 
Mass.,  in  1623.  Of  this  marriage,  one  son,  Nathaniel  Morton 
Safford.  was  born  January  31,  1848,  in  Dorchester,  and  BOW 
resides  in  the  family  home  in  Milton,  together  with  Mrs.  Safford, 
his  mother. 

I'.v  diligent  correspondence  and  inquiry,  we  are  able  to  follow 
along,  in  outline,  the  course  of  Mr.  Safford'a  full  and  useful,  though 
even  and  comfortable  life.  He  was  happy  in  his  home-life,  both  as 
boy  and  man.  His  parents  were  members  of  the  "Old  9ootfi 
Church"  in  Sahun,  which  was  for  many  of  those  early  years  under 
the  pastoral  care  of  the  Rev.  Dr.  Emerson  ;  they  were  of  excellent 
social  standing,  and  the  boy's  earliest  years  were  in  the  midst  of  the 
best  social  conditions  of  the  good  old  city  of  his  birth.  In  his 
figure,  and  somewhat  in  his  stately  old-time  courtesy  of  manner,  he 
is  said  to  have  resembled  his  father ;  while  in  features  and  tem- 
perament, as  well  us  in  many  characteristics  of  his  delicate  and  sensi- 
tive taster,  were  recognized  the  traits  of  his  refined  nnd  beautiful 
mother.      Mr.  David  Moore  and  Capt.  George  Upton  of  Salem  were

playmates  and  schoolmates  of  young  Safford  in  hia  early  boy  In  id, 
sod  recall  him  m  "«  very  good  boy,  an  excellent  scholar,  much 
Eked  by  hie  associates,  but  of  rather  retiring  disposition."  The  boy 
was  carefully  but  wisely  nurtured.  We  find  him  a*  |  child  at  the 
private  school  kept  by  Miss  Abigail  Mason ;  and  we  learn  from  Mr. 
Henry  M.  Brook*  of  Salem,  Whose  latter  is  subjoined,  and  front 
whose  kindly  help  much  of  the  information  about  bis  school-life  is 
gained,  that  the  late  Bar.  Charles  T.  Brooks,  of  Newport,  brother 
-••  Henry  M.,  was  at  the  same  school  at  the  same  tune  with  Mr. 
Safford.  lie  is  next  found  in  the  private  school  kept  by  Mr.  James 
S.  Gerrish ;  and  we  have  in  a  r  clipping  the  notioi     -fan 

examination  of  Mr  GerrUh'a  school,  in  August,  1829,  in  which 
young  Mr.  Saffbrd  figures  quite  prominently  : 

The  examination  of  Mr.  (I  hool,  we  understand,  was  as  usual 

BOM  pleating  and  satisfactory,  and  was  attended  at  Franklin  Mall,  by  a 
very  numerous  auditory.     At  this  examination,  premiums  were  awarded  to 
I,  Thomai   W.    Rea,   NathanUl  F.   Saf'.cd,   Sinmr.   F. 
B*r»tow.  William  W.  Story.  Henry,  and  Thomas  Carlile.  tor  good

— ki  ThocDaa  W.  Rea,  Stephen  O.  Shepard,  and  Naihanxtl  F.  Safford,  for 
good  Speaking. 

Wi  may  judge  somewhat  the  quality  of  the  patronage  of  this 
i  by  the  names  of  the  pupils.  And  we  can  imagine  the  stately, 
!re»6ed  and  highly  respectable  "numerous  auditory,"  gathered 
with  proud  interest  to  see  and  bear  the  embryo  orators  and  stale 
perform  their  juris  apofl  this  preparatory  stage.  And  na  doubt  a 
special  thrill  >;1  pride  came  1 0  the  Suffbrds,  as  their  slender,  bright- 
eyed  lad  alone  bote  away  three  of  the  premiums. 

>a8brd  passed,  probably  in  the  autumn 
sf  1821*,  to  the  Latin  Grammar  School,  in  which  he  finished  fitting 
fee  college.  The  teacher*  during  those  years  were  Mr.  Henry 
Kemhle  Oliver  ami  Mr.  Theodore  Karnes. 

Items  of  interest  in  connection  with  Mr.  Safford  s  father  appear 
ta  the  following  letter  from  Mr.  Brooks,  which  1  have  in  part  copied 
hare: 

letter  from  Mr.  Henry  M.  liroaka  of  Salem. 

Though  I  had  no  personal  acquaintance  with  Mr.  N.  F.  Safford.  Sr.,  or 
Us  son.  I  remember  both  perfectly  well.  Thu  fattier  was  rather  a  slender 
Sfld  thin  man.  with  a  quick,  nervous  manner  ami  step,  aud  very  respectable 
in  appearance.  I  recall  thu  place  of  business  (ho  was  a  dealer  iu  iron, 
grindstone  ire  under  the  old  Concert  Hall  at  the  corner  of 

Central  and  le  Streets,  mar  the  South  Bridge.     The  building  was 

of  wood,  built  in  the  old  colonial  style.  I  well  reuieuil>er  the  sign  across  the 
front  over  the  store,  in  full  width:  "  Nulli1  F.  Safford,"  in  huge  gilt  script 
letters,  and  the  great  grind-stones  which  leaned  against  the  front  each  side 
tks  door.     The  hail  i  was  used  for  bails,  dancing  schools,  etc., 

•nd  later  as  a  gymnasium.     Thu  building  was  destroyed  by  the  great  fire  of

Hall."     I  think  Mi.  Safford  MTBI  OOODpnd  the  new  building,  of  Wtttl 
lower  portiou  is  used  as  an  oyster  house,  aud  the  second  story  as  a  military 

armory. 

AT    DARTMOUTH    COLLEGE. 

Young  Mr.  Safford  finished  his  course  at  the  Latin  Grammar 
School  it  SaleiDi  and  was  admitted  at  Dartmouth  College  in  the 
summer  of  1831,  just  before  he  was  sixteen  years  old.  in  the  class  of 
1835,  then  numbering  sixty,  from  pleasant  letters  received  From 
two  of  his  class-mates  I  am  able  to  give  a  glimpse  of  hi*  Surround* 
ings  and  relations  at  Dartmouth.  Charles  B.  Stevens,  Esq.,  <>\ 
Worcester,  one  of  the  few  survivors  of  the  class  of  1835,  kindly 
leave  to  quote  from  his  address  at  the  annual  reunion  of  the 
Alumni  of  Dartmouth,  alter  fifty  years  from  the  graduation  of  their 
class.  The  meeting  was  held  in  Boston,  January  28,  1885.  In 
the  opening  of  his  address  he  speaks  of  his  classmates  present,  and 
writes  me  that  he  referred  to  Mr.  Safford  and  Judge  Lndd  of  Cam- 
bridge, who  sat  each  side  of  him  at  the  table.  The  topic-  nf  l,i* 
address  was  "  Fifty  years  ago,"  and  the  address,  published  in  full  in 
The  Dartmouth  for  March  2U,  1885,  affords  a  clear  picture  of  the 
condition  of  things  at  the  College  during  the  years  of  their  course. 
Some  brief  selections  will  help  to  show  the  young  Safford's  surround- 
ings. 

Mr.  Slevens  began  his  address  by  saying : 

I  am  a  little  afraid  of  these  many  brown  heads  before  me.     Some  per- 
sons, misled  by  the  disguise  whieh  nature  bat  Imposed  open  ma, 

aware*  take  me  for  one  of   the  elders,     it  would  be  a  very  Baton]  inmtake 
inly.     l!ut  my  nlasamntes,  bare,  do  my  right  and  left,  would  bnrdij 
fall  into  such  a  mistake.     To  then  I  so  ever  young,  as  they  are  to  ine. 

Mr.  Stevens  goes  on  to  speak  of  the  condition  of  the  institution 
in  those  years,  and  draws  a  kindly  picture  of  each  of  the  officers  and 
professors  from  President  Lord  down.  He  describes  President 
Lord  as  energetic,  shrewd  and  wise  as  a  disciplinarian,  with  digni- 
fied manner  and  fine  administrative  ability  ;  I'rofcusor  Sliurtleff  as 
"dwelling  ineiTiiiuMy  behind  green  spectacles  and  seeing  a  great 
deal  more  of  us  than  we  of  him";  Professor  Haddock,  a  favorite 
nephew  of  Daniel  Webster  and  very  popular  with  the  students,  of

author  we  had  in  hand";  Professor  Ira  Young,  the  talented  mathe-

feasor,  Alphnus  Crosby,  and  Prof.  Calvin  Kllis  Stowe.  Prof.  Uos- 
well  Shurtleff  and  President  Nathan  Lord  were  the  teachers  in 
Mental  and  Mural  Philosophy,  and  Prof.  Charles  B.  Haddock  in 
Rhetoric.  A  German  was  employed  for  a  time  to  give  lessons  in 
Preach.  These  were  Saffbrd's  teachers  during  his  college  course. 
He  cloaca  with  a  word  about  his  claw,  which  is  of  interest  to  us : 

I  pa*s  on  to  nay  a  word  about  my  own  class.     It  was  noteworthy  for  two 
thing*-     Tl  ::it,  with  a  single  exception,  it  was  the  largest  data 

ever  then  graduated ;  Lhe  exception  being  the  class  of  1811.  We  entered, 
ic,  sixty  strong,  and  we  graduated  fifty.  Later  classes  hare  greatly 
sorpasaorl  ua,  but  in  that  day  our  numt>era  were  phenomenal.  It  may  be 
said,  perhaps,  that  we  were  tlie  first  fruits  of  President  Lord's  new  and 
energetic  administration.  Three  years  had  elapsed  since  his  inauguration, 
and  ih  month  renaissance  had  gone  abroad.     The  second 

irthy  tiling  touching  the  class  was,  that  with  it,  began  the  experi- 
ment of  abolishing  appointments  at  Comnn :m •■  ■nn .■ni.  Human  nature  is 
weak,  and  it  is  my  impression  that  the  last  half  of  oar  class  was  not  sorry. 
It  gave  them  also  as  well  as  their  •'  betters"  a  chance  to  appear  "  in  public 
on  a  *tage,"  and  left  the  public  to  find  out  "  who  was  who  "  as  best  it  could. 
The  experiment  thus  begun  was  continued  until,  after  a  fair  trial,  the 
authorities  found  it,  expedient  to  restore  the  old  system. 

In  bis  letter,  in  answer  to  my  request  for  a  word  from  him  in  re- 
gard lo  Mr.  Safford  in  his  college  days,  he  writes: 

Mr.  Safford  was  one  of  the  youngest  members  in  our  class.  As  I  re- 
member  him,  he  was  a  fair,  delicate  l*oy,  sensitive,  and  free  from  any  of  the 
rough  way*  of  moat  boya.  Because  of  these  characteristics  and  ln-<;ause  of 
icli.  be  ffM  naturally  not  an  active  leader  in  our  class.  We  had  in 
those  days  two  literary  societies  between  which  the  members  of  each  class 
were,  on  ei.  .-iributed  by  lot.     One  of  these  was  called  '•  The  Social 

Friro«U,'*  the  oth  .        1  he  United  Fraternity."     My  impression   is  that  in 
the  debates  young  Safford  was  not  forward  to  take  any  conspicuous 
hat  read.'-  ige  any  assigned  duty. 

From  the  letter  of  another  class-mate  of  Mr.  Safford,  Rev.  Jacob 
Chapman  of  Exeter,  JS*.  II.,  now  in  his  eighty-third  year,  I  select  ■ 
brief  extract : 

I  wish  1  hre  you  more  full  and  definite  information  about  my 

ria— urate,  N.  F.  Safford.  I  was  in  the  first  division  of  our  class  of  sixty, 
and  be  in  the  second,  so  that  we  rarely  met  at  recitations.  I  was  appointed 
Btlor  of  the  class,  and  also  to  assist  one  of  the  instructors  in  "  keeping 
during  the  time  of  a  class  recitation  to  him;  and  for  these  reasons 
i  ot*  the  younger  boys  seemed  to  keep  at  a  distance  from  me.  I  think 
J  never  bad  to  admonish  or  reprove  young  Safford  at  any  time.  As  I  re- 
member him  in  1831,  when  as  monitor  I  was  appointed  to  "keep  uu  eye 
on  him,"  be  seemed  younger  even  than  he  was ;  ho  was  very  modest,  retir- 
ing, quiet  and  studious.  Oar  only  athletic  game  was  foot-ball,  and  I  am 
-are  that  Safford  did  not  take  any  active  part  iu  that.  In  his  fresh- 
aian  year  he  had  his  room  at  the  house  of  Mr.  Douglass,  and  his  room-mate 
waa  probably  Edward  Warner  of  Salem.  Josiah  Winchester  of  South- 
boro'  roomed  in  the  same  house,  and  I  think  these  were,  in  that  year,  his

closest  associates.  Ho  was  considered  oue  of  the  most  studious  of  the 
younger  boys,  and  stood  well  in  his  class.  The  second  year  be  roomed  at 
B  Thornton  Hall,  with  Hi-nrv  Bright  Chase,  of  WirDff,  N.  II.  My 
room  wn->  in  the  same  Hall.  My  imprest  m  il  tlut  hn  was  always  prompt 
to  perform  his  duties,  but  not  active  in  BUlflk  beyond  that  point.  His  room- 
mate. Chase,  was  wholly  different  from  youni;  Safford  in  habits  and  char- 
acter: he  afterwards  became  a  lawyer  in  Clinton,  LouJaiana,  where  he  died 
in  1885.     In  the  Mexican  war  Chase  raised  and  commanded  a  compear. 

Iu  the  junior  year  Snfford  had  a  room  in  Wentwort.h  Hall.  I  think,  alone, 
most  of  the  time.  In  the  senior  year  he  returned  to  the  honse  of  Mr. 
Douglass,  where  he  roomed  the  first  year,  and  there  his  associates  were  S. 
C.  Bartlett.  late  president  of  Dartmouth  College,  and  his  brother,  later  the 
R.  v.  .I.i:  :  ]  li  Bartlett. 

In  answer  to  my  inquiry,  President  Bartlett  writes,  under  date 
December  3,  1892 : 

My  lwlief  i8  that  .Mr.  Safford  had  no  chum  while  in  the  house  of  Mr. 
i  )i>nglaM.  I  remember  him  as  a  rather  fine  looking  young  man,  with  black 
hair  and  bright  black  eyes.  But  as  I  was  iu  a  lower  class  and  somewhat 
yOongec  than  he,  and  as  ho  was  rather  p  D  his  ways,  or,  if  socially 

Inclined,  yet  with  ■  diffident  circle  from  mine,  I  am  unable  to  giv 
any  more  definite  infoi matiou  concerning  him.     I  can  say,   however,  that 
he  bore  an  excellent  reputation  so  far  as  I  cau  remember,  and  all  my   im- 
pressions of  him,  in  memory,  are  very  pleasant. 

Upon  graduation  from  college  Mr.  Safford  began  the  study  of 
law  in  the  office  of  Hon.  Asalicl  Huntington  of  Salem. 

He  was  admitted  to  the  Essex  County  Bar,  September  17,  1838, 
as  may  be  seen  by  the  following  extract*  from  the  Essex  County 
Records  : 

At  the  Court  of  Common  Pleas  begun  and  held  at  Newbarypnrt,  within 
and  for  the  county  of  Essex,  on  the  third  Monday,  being  the  seventeenth 
day  of  September,  in  the  year  oue  thousand,  eight  hundred  and  thirty  eight. 

"Nathaniel  F.  Safford,  jr.  being  duly  recommended  to  the  Court  to 
practise  as  au  attorney,  in  open  Court  takes  and  subscribes  the  oaths  and 
declarations  iu  such  case  provided  and  is  thereupon  admitted  to  practise 
accordingly." 

Thus  equipped  for  his  life-work,  he  left  home,  and  came  to 
Dorchester,  January  16,  1839,  and  opened  an  office  at  the  "  Mil- 
ton Lower  Mills"  village,  in  a  building  then  standing  iriam  the

Swift's  family  at  their  old  mansion  on  Milton  Hill.  In  186- ?  ho 
removed  his  office  to  Boston,  No.  27  State  Street,  and  has  held  his 
city  office  and  praotice  from  that  time  until  his  death,  having  re- 
moved his  office  twice,  viz. :  to  No.  53  Devonshire,  and  thence  to 
27  Kilby  Street. 

Upon  marriage,  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Safford  set  up  their  home  in  their 
fine  house,  a  present  from  the  bride's  father,  still  standing,  at  the 
corner  of  Washington  and  Sanford  Streets.      There  they  resided

a  til  1862,  when  they  removed  to  the  beautiful  residence  in  Milton, 

here  he  died  and  where  the  family  still  resides. 

In  the  early  part  of  his  practice,  Mr.  Safford  was  appointed  a 
Muter  in  Chancery,  and  acted  as  magistrate,  exercising  jurisdiction 
ilso  under  the  operation  of  insolvent  Jaws,  lie  VM  much  engaged 
it  local  town  affairs,  and  active  in  town-meetinga,  whil<-  IW.-hester 
was  still  a  aeparate  municipality.  His  word  waa  listened  to  with 
deference  by  the  people,  and  his  services  in  many  official  relations 
were  appreciated.  lie  was  a  ready  and  pleasing  speaker,  and  few 
public  meeting  of  importance  were  held,  either  of  a  civil,  political  or 
tonal  nature,  where  his  presence  and  words  were  not  in  demand  and 
ilwaye  we  i  presiding  officer  few  excelled  him;  always 

fourteous  and  dignified,  but,  upon  occasion,  with  a  touch  o(  quaint 
kneour  all  his  own*  Many  remember  his  introduction,  at  a  political 
meeting  away  back  "in  the  fifties,"  of  a  tall,  gaunt  Westerner  who 
had  come  upon  the  platform  late,  whom  Mr.  Safford  did  not  know, 
bat  whose  name  was  whispered  to  him,  when  he  introduced  him  as 
Mr.  Lincoln,  "one  of  the  old  Lincoln  family,  probably."  His  intro- 
duction "  brought  down  the  houBe,"  as  Mr.  Lincoln  swung  his  tall 
form  from  his  seat  and  "rose  to  the  probability ,"  and  the  good  people 
of  Dorchester  listened  for  the  first  time  to  Botne  of  the  comical  cam- 
paign stories  and  telling  hits  of  Abraham  Lincoln,  the  then  unknown 
future  president  of  the  United  States. 

In  social  meetings  we  shall  never  forget  the  kindly,  droll,  always 
instructive  and  entertaining  speeches,  always  ready  upon  call. 

Mr.  Safford  whs  chosen  representative  to  the  General  CotUf  from 
the  town  of  Dorchester,  for  the  years   1850  and   1851.     In   1853, 

rn  the  retirciiiint  of  tin-  Hon.  Samuel  P.  Loud  from  the  Board 
inmissioners  for  Norfolk  County  ( Dorchester  being 
then  included  in  that  County  j,  Mr.  Safford  was  nominated  by  the 
party,  against  the  forces  of  the  Freeaoil  and  Democratic  par- 
ties, combined  upon  one  candidate.  After  two  trials  at  the  polls 
there  waa  no  election,  and  Governor  Clifford  appointed  him  in  the 
place  of  Mr.  Loud,  and  at  the  first  meeting  of  the  new  board  Mr. 
oattord  was  chosen  chairman,  and  afterwards  for  fifteen  years  he  held 
that  office  by  successive  reelections.  Soon  after  the  annexation  of 
Dorchester  to  Boston,  Mr.  Bafford'e  services  were  sought,  and  in 
1572  be  waa  again  elected  to  the  board,  and  at  the  organization  of 
the  board,  January,  1873,  was  chosen  chairman,  in  which  office  ho 
•wed  for  six  years  more,  making  in  all  a  term  of  twenty-one  years, 
la  that  long  period  of  service  Air.  Safford  had  great  influence  in 
bringing  about  many  needed  public  improvements  in  the  department 
wer  which  the  Board  of  Commissioners  had  jurisdiction.  It  was 
krgely  due  to  his  persistent  and  wise  exertions  that  corporate  fran- 
nses  in  turnpikes  aud  toll-bridges  were  abolished  in  the  Comity. 
Toere  was  not,  probably,  another  man  in  the  County  of  Norfolk  so 
thoroughly  conversant  with  the  public  highways  within  the  limits  of

[J. 


the  County  a*  Mr.  Saffbrd.  He  was  wisely  cautious,  and  alow 
enter  upon  any  enterprise  until  plana  had  been  considered  from 
points  of  view,  the  "cost  had  been  rigidly  counted,"  and  adequate 
results  could  be  safely  calculated.  Under  his  faithful  and  conserva- 
tive direction  public  funds  were  never  wasted,  and  few,  if  any,  mis- 
takes were  made,  or  useless  experiments  tried.  Many  of  the  ole 
highways  were  re-located  to  meet  the  new  needs  of  changing  in- 
terests and  industries;  railroad  crossings,  stations,  bridges,  i 
were  controlled  and  guarded  ;  new  roads  were  located  ;  public  build- 
ing were  rebuilt,  remodelled  or  improved,  during  his  term  of  office. 
A  mutter  of  sj^ecial  interest  to  him  was  the  preservation  of  public 
records  and  doOBBMBteJ  and  in  many  of  the  county  buildings,  anc 
also  in  the  town  offices,  to-day,  there  are  fire-proof  vaults  or  safe 
where,  before  hie  term,  these  safeguards  were  entirely  wanting. 
These,  however,  are  but  a  small  part  of  the  real  work  done  by  the 
board  under  his  wise  leadership.  The  influence  of  his  conservative 
and  impartial  methods  has  impressed  itself  upon  the  County  in  such 
a  way  that  no  mere  office-seekers  are  deemed  eligible  to  fill  the 
places  of  men  who  were  above  any  partizau  dealing,  Htid  had  noth- 
ing to  gain  from  the  office  save  the  public  good. 

In  politics,  Mr.  Saflbrd  belonged  to  the  Whigs  until  the  forma- 
ti hi  of  the  Republican  party,  with  which  he  then  cast  his  lot  from 
principle,  and  to  which  he  was  always  loyal.  Without  auy  self- 
seeking  he  worked  to  uphold  the  party's  standards.  But,  sincerely 
patriotic,  he  always  held  the  nation  above  the  party,  and  the  honor 
and  integrity  of  the  country  were  as  dear  to  him  as  his  own. 

Upon  coming  to  Dorchester  Mr.  Saflbrd  became  Identified  with 
the  Unitarian  .Society,  then  under  the  pastoral  care  of  Rev.  Richard 
Pike.  He  was  one  of  the  most  respected,  useful  and  influential 
members  from  that  time  forth.  In  the  affairs  of  the  parish,  as  in 
civil  duties,  he  was  always  conservative  iu  his  influence,  and  his 
advice  was  heeded  and  his  judgment  trusted,  especially  in  all  affairs 
relating  to  the  property  of  the  parish,  in  Will  Mill  of  funds,  etc. 

Mr.  Saffbrd  was  greatly  interested  in  antiquarian  studies  and  pur- 
suits, and  was  a  valued  member  of  the  New-England  Hi 
Genealogical  Society  for  many  years.  He  was  a  warm  personal 
friend  of  the  late  president  of  the  Society,  Col.  Marshall  P.  Wilder, 
and  one  of  his  constant  and  most  earnest  helpers.  The  followinj 
testimonials  from  personal  friends,  members  of  this  Society, 
evidence : 


Letter  of  Mr.  John  Ward  Dtan. 

My  acquaintance  with  Mr.  Saffbrd  began  in  187.3,  when  he  became 
member  of  the  New- England  Historic  Genealogical  Society.  Afterwards 
he  was  chosen  one  of  the  directors  of  the  Society,  nad  I  saw  him  more 
frequently.  I  noon  found  him  to  be  a  clear  headed  man,  whose  advice 
could  be  safely  followed.     I  was  struck  with  the  soundness  of  his  judgment

m  all  matters  that  came  before  the  board.  He  investigated  thoroughly 
matters  that  were  specially  referred  to  bin*  ami  his  decisions  were  the  re- 
mit of  mature  thought  and  research.  He  was  one  of  the  most  use- 
rs! member*  of  the  board,  and  was  always  ready  to  duty 
assigned  to  him.  He  seldom  failed  to  attend  the  monthly  meeting  of  the 
board.  He  was  equally  constant  in  hi*  attendance  at  the  pablifl  meetings 
of  the  Society:  and  he  frequently  took  part  in  the  discussions  then 
m— rfci  being  always  listened  to  with  deep  interest.

o'clock.  Rev.  Albert  K.  Title,  I>.D.,  conducted  the  services  and

tabatantially  as  follows  :

Nathaniel  Foster  Safford. 


[Jan. 


It  is  said  that  the  eloquent  Massillon.  when  the  mortal  remains  of  hii 
HluBtrioii-  moti.ircli  lay  in  funeral  stale  Ijefore  him.  looked  down  from  the 
high  altar  iuto  the  open  coffin  aud  bruku  thu  awful  silence  of  the  occasion 
with  these  worth:  "There  is  none  truly  great  hut  God."  The  sentiment 
was  just,  and  the  circumstances  gave  it  weight.  It  is  even  so,  my  friends; 
all  ages,  all  conditions  of  men  bow  at  the  approach  of  death,  aud  are  brought 
to  the  same  let  el  by  its  denuding  hand.  The  bright  :tml  joyous  life  and  i  lie 
life  shaded  by  sorrow  and  Buffering;  thu  life  of  ufllueuee  and  (he  life  of 
penury,  alike  come  to  this  end.  l'nmling  infancy,  merry  childhood,  expiring 
youth,  vigorous  manhood  aud  gray  decrepitude  yield  to  the  stern  mandate. 

But  a  few  days  ago  the  beloved  clergyman,*  whoso  presence,  guidance 
aud  wisdom  wo  felt  that  wo  could  not  spare,  was  taken  from  us.  ml  do* 
we  meet  to  pay  our  last  tribute  of  respect  aud  honor  to  his  next-door  neigh- 
bor, the  etuiiieul  jurist — our  friend,  our  helper,  our  counsellor — who,  by 
his  wi  niug  aud  Uiniuees  has  helped  us  over  the  rough  places  of 

life.  Wo  shall  miss  his  well  known  form  along  these  streets,  where  we 
bean  wont  to  see  him  for  so  many  years.  We  shall  miss  him  in  our 
homes,  in  our  social  aud  municipal  gatherings.  We  shall  mUs  him  in  (lie 
sanctuary  of  worship.  When  we  knock  at  the  door  of  this  hospitable  man- 
sion his  kindly  greeting  will  no  longer  welcome  us.  We  shall  hear  his 
voice  no  more.  I  ■■  Mfl  of  IJM  earthly  life  has  come,  and  with  sorrowing 
hearts  we  bid  him  adieu.  We  do  not  to-day  review  this  long  and  useful 
life  reaching  out  in  so  many  directions  and  entering  into  so  many  and  varied 
interests.  We  gather  here  as  friends  aud  neighbors,  fellow  citizens  ai 
professional  associates,  rather  to  proffer  our  warmest  sympathies  to  this 
strickeu  household,  aud  to  recall  with  tender  memories  our  dflpai  t  ed  b 
and  friend,  seeking  together  the  divine  blessing  that  the  influence  inspired 
from  this  occasion  may  go  with  us  into  life. 

From  the  Parish  Records  of  ihe  Third  Religious  Society  of  Dorchester. 

Sunday.  April  26,  18'Jl.  the  congregation  were  requested  to  be  seated 
after  the  benediction.  Dr.  Greene  came  forward  and  spoke  in  memory  of 
Mr.  N.  F.  Suffbrd;  recalling  his  good  life  among  us,  and  the  loss  from  our 
midst  of  so  wise  and  good  a  man.  Rev.  George  M.  Bodge,  former  pastor 
of  the  Society  (and  occupying  the  pulpit  for  the  1  iv).  being  called  upon, 
said:  "I  am  glad  to  have  the  opportunity  to  join  the  mcmlwrs  of  this 
H'nii  ty  in  this  testimonial  of  respect  to  one  who  has  been  so  long  and  so 
intimately  connected  with  all  the  highest  interests  of  this  people  and  parish. 
As  pastor  of  this  society  I  know  .Mr.  Safford  as  a  courteous,  kindly  :wi<l 
gonial  man,  and  a  wise  and  conservative  counsellor  in  all  the  affairs  of  ilu 
parish.  In  his  pleasant  home  the  true  and  courtly  hospitality  of  the  old 
school  was  always  cordially  extended.  As  a  personal  friend  and  adviser  I 
learned  lo  prize  him,  aud  in  many  cams  I  remember  his  quiet  helpfulness

Mr.  Safford  had  other  relations  in  which  1  chanced  to  be  associated  with  him. 
and  one  in  tiarticular  of  which  I  may  speak.  Aa  a  member  of  the  NeW-E&g* 
land  Historic  Guuuaiogieal  Society.  I  saw  much  of  his  influence  exerted  for 
the  building  up  of  its  interests.  The  late  president.  Hon.  Mars-hall  P,  W 
relied  greatly  upon  Mr.  Saflbrd's  wisdom  and  foresight,  which  many  times 
was  experienced  and  gratefully  recognized.     The  Society  has  hail  no  more

their  belief,  and  for  Dr.  Lee  to  reconcile  such  a  belief  with  the  Quarreodou 
theory  of  which  be,  and  not  any  member  of  the  family,  is  the  author.     It

arms  he  used  was  recognized  by  the  College  of  Arms.  1  only  wish  this 
had  been  the  case,  for  then  his  parentage  would  he  on  record.  If  he  was, 
as  is  very  probable,  neither  son  nor  brother,  bat  nephew  to  the  head  of 
the  family,  his  name  would  be  very  unlikely  to  appear  in  the  pedigree 
unleas  he  himself  took  the  trouble  to  hare  it  registered.  This  was  never 
done,  and  oven  if  Gibbon's  statement  had  given  his  father's  name,  it  orald 
not  be  accepted  by  the  College  without  those  proofs  which  are  always 
rigorously  insisted  on,  and  which  give  to  the  pedigrees  there  registered  a 
real  authority  and  value.  Those  from  any  other  source  need  verification 
at  every  step.  Without  it  uo  one  can  say  whether  they  are  founded  on 
fact. 

Page  65.  "  The  statement  is  made  that  Col.  Richard  Lee  built  Ditchley 
House.  This  is  incorrect,  as  the  dwelling  in  question  was  erected  by  bis 
grandson  Hancock." 

The  atnive  is  a  slip  ou  the  part  of  the  writer,  as  Dr.  Lee's  statement  was 
that  Ditchley  was  built  by  the  emigrant's  son  Richard.  No  evidence  is 
offered  in  support  of  thin  euttiin-iit.  and  it  seems  improbable,  as  William 
Lee's  account  iu  my  possession  expressly  states  that  this  Richard  (his  own 
grandfather)  passed  nearly  bin  whole  timu  in  study,  and  "  neither  improved 
nor  diminished  his  ptdernal  estate."  That  estate,  wo  know  from  his  n 
will,  WU  ihi  plantation  "  Paradise."  Mr.  Browu'a  opinion  is  that  Ditchley 
was  built  by  Hancock  the  sou  (not  grandson)  of  Col.  Richard,  but  so  far 
as  I  have  been  able  to  leuru  nothing  is  really  known  as  to  the  data  or 
builder  of  this  house.  All  that  seems  certain  is  that  the  names  Ditchley, 
L:',nL'!ry,  Cotou,  and  Lee  Hall  have  been  used  by  different  members  of  the 
family  iu  America,  but  none  of  them  by  Col.  Richard  himself. 

■  Ditchley.  four  miles  from  that  city."  Ditchley  is  about  eleven  miles 
from  Oxford. 

■John  Lee  of  Morton  Regis."  Should  be  Nordleg  Regis.  I 
quite  agree  with  Mr.  Lea  as  to  the  probable  explanation  of  '*  Morton  Regis  " 
which  he  refers  to  on  page  68,  but  I  know  of  no  instance  where  any  member 
of  the  family  is  actually  described  as  of  •'  Norton  "  instead  of  "  Nordley," 
and  I  do  not  think  Norton  was  a  "  common  "  form  at  all.

Tho  E.  D.  N.  alphabet  was  not  made  by  any  one  person.  It  is  a  sort 
of  general  notebook  for  the  officers  of  arms  made  about  the  time  of  Charles 
II.,  and  is  valuable  as  probably  the  only  work  in  existence  giving  the  arms 
which  were  then  or  had  been  formerly  made  use  of.  It  is  not  an  authority 
as  to  the  right  to  bear  such  arms.  It  must  not,  however,  be  forgotten  that 
though  Colonel  Richard's  right  to  the  arms  could  not  be  recognized  by  the 
College  without  proof,  still,  whoever  made  the  entry  in  the  E.  D.  N.  A.  did 
not  merely  record  the  fact  of  bis  using  them,  but  added  "Descended" 
"from  the  Lees  in  Shropshire";  while  Gibbon,  an  officer  of  the  College, 
writing  a  professional  work,  expressly  commits  himself  to  tho  same  state- 
ment. It  is  difficult  to  think  he  would  have  done  this  unless  be  bad  felt 
satisfied  as  to  the  truth  of  what  be  wrote ;  or,  short  of  actual  proof,  to 
imagine  stronger  testimony.

of  the  Langley  stock."  Mr.  Lea  I  know  uses  the  expression  "  Langley 
stock0  to  denote  the  Lees  of  Shropshire,  but  the  phrase  is  in  this  place  a 
littJe  misleading,  as  the  Colon  family  was  not  an  offshoot  of  the  Langley 
branch.  Coton  came  to  Roger  de  la  Lee  by  bis  marriage  with  the  heiress 
af  the  Astleys  de  Nordley  in  the  reign  of  Richard  II.  Langley  was 
acquired  in  the  same  way  by  his  elder  son,  Coton   hii'  -hare  of 

the  young,  r  ,f  the  nine  members  referred  to  by  Mr.  Le*  are  of  the 

Coton,  and  threw  of  the  Langley  branch,      Until   OoL    Richard's  parentage 
•  •f  coarse  not  impossible  that  he  may  have  been  trt  the  latter. 
but  the  tradition  has  always  been  that  he  was  of  Coton,  and   the  evidence 
at  present  certainly  seems  to  point  that  way. 

I:  would  bo  difficult  to  exaggerate  the  value  of  Mr.   Lea's   papers  to  all 
who  are  interested  in  this  question,  and  the  contrast  bet" 
and  that  of  Dr.  Lee  is  indeed  striking.     Hardly  a  single  statement  u  made 
by  tiv.  eat  proof  being  given,  while  not  a  dingle  proof 

is  given  by  t he  latter  in  support  of  any  of  his  assumptions.     To*   Shrop.

this  March  And  So  Case  You  don't  gu  Your  Selfe  he  is  to  be  the  Second. 

I  hare  Order 'd  Cpt.  Giles  &  Cpt  Kane  with  a  Detacbm'  of  30  Men  from

You  will  Me  that  this  Matter  be  expedited. 

I  Can't  he  uf  any  other  opinion  but  there  has  been  a  great  Neglect  in  the 
Officers  at  FalnV\  That  ■  Seoul  was  not  immediately  sent  to  ly  for  some 
Days  about  the  dead  Bodies  of  the  Indians  Wth  being  upon  a  Carry i Dg 
Flaw  It  ami  highly  probable  the  other  six  Indians  would  pass  that  Way. 
ne  you  would  strictly  examine  into  this  Matter  A:  liu.l  where  the  Fault 
lies,  for  I  am  much  ashamed  that  there  should  he  so  little  of  a  Spirit  among 
the  Olli  •  rs  to  make  any  brisk  Attempts  upon  the  Knemy.  W"  such  proper 
occasions  offer  I  will  find  out  officers,  if  i  ible,  of  some  Spirit.

up  as  soon  as  may  he,  that  they  In  DOM  upon  the  first    Sitting  of

the  sev"  Companies  may  bring  up  the  Rolls,  k  make  Oath  to  them. 

The  Knemy  being  now  about,  The  Frontiers  mast  be  carefully  prot< 
&  the  Marching  Forces  be  upon  constant  Duty  in  the  Woods.  &  if  any

of  the  men  with  him  had  the  Stocks  of  their  Guns  shott.  They  imme-

conld  not  come  up  with  them. 

As  to  sending  Capt  Gyles  thirty  men  just  now,  I  cannot  possibly  make

The  Enemy  is  certainly  down  on  us  in  considerable  Numbers,  so  that  we

ABSTRACTS  OF  THE  WILLS  OF  THE  MATHER  FAMILY, 

PROVED  IN  THE  CONSISTORY  COURT  AT 

CHESTER  FROM  1573  TO  1650. 

Br  J.  Twu  RTLANDe,  Esq.,  F.S.A.,  of  Birkenhead,  England. 

Samuel  Clark,  in  his  account  of  "The  Life  and  Death  of  M' 
Richard  Mather  who  dyed  Anno  Christi  1669,"  says: — "Bi 
Mather  was  born  in  a  Village  called  Lowton,  situate  in  the  Pi 
of  Winwick  in  the  County  of  Lancaster,  Anno  Christi  1596.  His 
parents  Thomas  and  Margaret  Mather  were  of  ancient  families  in

8fl 


LowtoD  aforesaid  ;  but  by  reason  of  some  unhappy  Mortgages,  they 
were  reduced  into  a  low  condition  in  regard  to  their  outward  estate." 

Much  has  been  written  about  Richard  Mather  and  his  descendants  ; 
but  very  little  is  known  of  Ids  forefathers,  who  were  probably 
resident  in  Lancashire  for  several  centuries,  as  the  name  occurs  in 
early  documents  as  Madur,  Madowr,  dm.  The  family  does  not 
appear  to  have  been  of  sufficient  importance  socially  to  attract  the 
attention  of  the  I  braid*  at  their  visitations,  although  OottOn  Mather 
fUtes  that  the  armorial  bearing!  of  his  family  were  Ermine,  on  a 
ftue  vxiry  A-.tere  three  lions  rampant  Or;  Crest : — On  the  trunk 
of  a  tree  lying  feaseways  Vert.,  u  lion  ncjunt  Or;  bearings  which 
«re  also  attributed  to  Madder  of  the  County  of  Stafford  in  Burke's 
'General  Armory." 

It  was  with  a  view  of  adding  something  to  the  family  history  of 
the  Mathers  that,  a  number  of  years  ago,  I  made  a  series  of  genealo- 
gical abet i  i)  the  will*  at  Chester,  in  conjunction  with  the  late 
Mr.  Charlie  Bridger;  and  the  abstracts  then  made  have  been  re- 
cently su;  ed  by  others  made  by  Mr.  Will  am  Fergusson 
Irrine  ot  Birkenhead,  thus  forming  a  complete  aeriee  from  the  year 
to  the  #v  Unfortunately  these  wills  do  not,  so  far  as 
I  am  aware,  increase  our  knowledge  of  Richard  Muthcr's  ana 
bat  they  may  help  to  bring  some  new  facts  to  light  from  other 
■oorcce;  and  in  the  hope;  that  this  will  bo  the  case  I  offer  them  to 
the  New-England  IIi>t.  ■  i- i« -  Genealogical  Society.  For  the  - 
lemon  I  will  allude  to  the  marriage  of  Ralph  Rylnnds,  then  of 
"wmtbouL  tit  afterwards  of  Culcheth  in  the  parish  of  Win- 
wick,  yeoman  (who died  in  November,  1633),  and  Mary  Mnthcr  of 
the  parish  of  Winwkk,  which  was  solemnized  at  Deane  Church,  25 
May.    1618    (Transcripts   at   Chester).      This    Mary,    in    her    will, 

proved  at  Vork  20  November,  1645,  desires  "to  bee  bo  tt  my 
pariehe  Church  of  Winwicke  in  my  ancestors  buriall  [place]  and 
scare  unto  Raphe  Rylandes  my  late  husband";  and  I  have  very 
little  r     he  was  a  relative,  probably  a  near  one,  of  Richard 

Mather,  the  w  Pilgrim  Father,"  because  her  place  of  burial  euggeate 
that  she  was  one  of  the  Lowton  Mathers,  and  also  because  her  hus- 
baad,  being  a  man  well-to-do  in  the  world,  would  be  likely  to  choose 
his  wife  fnun  the  better  educated  branch  of  the  Mather  fnmily. 
Their  third  son  Ralph,  who  was  born  in  1622,  was  living  with  Henry 
Mather  at  Culcheth  in  1641,  and,  on  19  May,  1644,  he  married 
Alice  Mather  at  the  chapel  of  Ncwchurch  in  Win  wick  parish  ;  Alice 
was,  perhaps,  Henry's  daughter,  and  a  relative  of  her  husband. 

It  is  also  worth  noting  that  Margaret  Byrom,  of  Lowton,  widow 
of  Henry  Byrom,  in  her  will,  dated  1H  April,  1648,  mentions  her 
mo  Henry,  her  sister  Jane  Green,  her  sister  Anne,  wife  of  Roger 
Bate,  and  her  brother  Richard  Mather.

Man. 


In  the  fall  of  1737  Mr.  Weaver  til  one  of  M  signing  a  petition 

to  Gov.  Clarke,  demanding  the  removal  of  High  Sheriff  Crosby,  for  mil- 
demeanor  in  declaring  a  Mr.  Philipae  to  be  the  chosen  Representative  of 
the  City  and  County;  fivo  months  later,  in  February,  1737-8,  wc  tind  him 
a  member  of  Capt.  Cornelius  Van  Home's  militia  i 

About  July.  173ft,  a  certain  William  Lanner  of  New  Town,  L.  L.agait 
whom  judgment  had  been  obtained  in  Lhe  matter  of  a  debt  for  some  sheep, 
•ought  to  avoid  levying  of  amotion  upon  his  house  and  land,  by  oon 
them,  through  a  sham  deed,  to  Samuel  Weaver.  The  latter,  as  Lam 
deposed,  refused  subsequently  to  surrender  the  deed  for  cancellation,  where- 
upon Weaver  was  ordered  to  appear  before  Gov.  Clarke  at  Port  Geor_ 
on  Tuesday,  January  15,  1 639-10,  at  10  A.M.,  to  answer  the  charge.  Hoi 
the  affair  tenniieit.  i|  «.?  ■  i , >  not  learn. 

May  6.  1711.  Mr.  Weaver  was  one  of  the  jurors  sworn  in  on  the  trial 
of  John  HugliHon  and  others  concerned  in  the  Negro  Plot.     He  was  also 
juror  :li.  on  the  trial  of  two  negroes,  who  were  burned  at  the  st 

i>n  in  the  same  affair.     Evidence' 
to  show  thai  his  own  slave,  Will,  who  died  before  the  plotamainred, 
tended  the  meetings  and  taken  active  part  in  the  proposed  insurrection. 

May  18,  17-T2,  by  d.-.  <l  nol  on  record,  Weaver  bought  of  Thomas  1I< 
leather-dresser,  a  lot  of  ground  il  the  S.-R.  corner  of  Cliff  and  Beekman 
Streets,  which  had  formerly  belonged  to  Joseph  Latham,  who  had  in  turn 
purchased  from  heirs  of  the  estate  of  William  IWknmn.  Cliff  Street,  run- 
nine;  thraoxb  Ynmlireliffs  orchard,  and  Beekman  street,  were  projt 
much  about  the  same  time,  the  divisional  map  of  the  Beekman  estate  show- 
ing thfl  various  building  lota,  having  been  drawn  up  in  September,  1708; 
bat  Beekman  street  was  not  properly  regulated  and  paved  till  the  j( 
1730,  and  two  years  after,  on  the  N.-E.  owner,  St.  George's  Chaj>el  wj 
erected,  situated,  says  Smith  the  historian,  "in  a  uew,  crowded,  and  ill 
built  part  of  the  town." 

Mr.  and  Mrs.  Weaver  had  brought  with  them  a  bible,  published   bj 
J.  Basket  of  Oxford,  in  1715,  and  containing  the  Episcopal  Church  service; 
they,  however,  joined  the  congregation  under  the  Rev.  James  Anderson, 
who  were  worshipping,  according  to  the  discipline  of  the  Presbyter" 
Chnreh  of  .Scotland,  in  the  City  Hall,  on   Wall  street,  pending  the  en 
of  a  meeting-house  on  ground  adjoining.     Within  the  walls  of  the  nei 
edUoe  both  of  them  were  nbiofaen^  interred. 

His  will  reads:  "Samuel  Weaver  of  the  city  of  New  York,  currier,  being  at 
present  sick  and  weak  in  body,  but  of  sound  mind  and  understanding,  &c

and  the  residue  of  the  estate,  real  and  personal,  to  be  divided  equally  be- 
tween the  widow  and  three  children.  The  lot  recently  bought  of  Thomas 
Hodgins  to  bo  sold  by  the  executors,  and  the  interest  derived  from 
shares  of  the  two  sons  to  be  applied  to  their  education  and  maintenance

Jasueke  Andres,  wid.of  Jan  PietSlot  (orSlnat ).  of  Bergen  end  New  York, 
born  1663.  the  son  of  I'ieter  .Innaon  Slot  and  grandson  of  .Ian  Pietersen

younger  brother  Adrian,  hut   removed   subsequently  !■•  1 -land,  and 

lived  to  a  _  g  7'>  in   1711.   when   bia  i-Ideat  son   of   the  same 

name.  bal  marriage,  was  still  called  "junior."      Jo!  father, 

Direk  Cornel issen*  Hooglandt.  died  on  Staten  Island  early  in  17<'">. 
having  married  Lyabet,  dan.  of  Joris  Jan  sen  Rapeljn;  he  was  the  son  of 
Hooglandt,  the  first  ferry-master  to  Long  Island,  who 
was  in  the  New  Netherlands  as  early  as  1638,  being  then  88  years  of  age. 
Cornelia  was  probably  from  a  small  place  in  the  province  of  Zealand,  just 
west  of  Middelborch,  on  the  Island  of  Wah-hern.  railed  Hngel.-mde;  liis  wife 
Aeltje  Aliens  was  a  widow  of  Jacob  Direkaen  Y  .  had  left 

due  him  which  Hooglandt  endi.ivon  il  t<i  oolleel  at  Middelborcb,  in  1639, 
through  an  Da  Luycas  of  Amsterdam.      The  writer  has 

in  bis  possession  an  antique  brass  box,  with  embossed  scriptural  subjects  on 
lid  of  whu^h,  scratched  in  the  well-Koown  hand-writ' 
in*  of  his  grand-father.  Dr.  John  Greenwood,  in  1814,  is  a  statement  that 
"Tbis  box  was  brought  to  this  country  by  one  of  the  first  settlers  from 
Holland  by  the  name  of  Ilogeland.  and  was  given  to  me  by  one  of  the  de- 
scendant*, my  wife.  It  was  her  grand-mother's  father's  "  (meaning  Johan- 
nes Hooglandt,  father  of  Mrs.  Elizabeth  Cossart).  "She  (i.  .».,  1  h.-  gmBQ% 
Bother,  Mr*.  Cossart)  died  22  years  past,  very  old."  Since  she  was  born 
in  1706,  as  we  have  seen,  she  would  have  been  aged  about  86  years  at  the 
time  of  her  death  in  1792.  Her  Bpinning^wbeel,  ingeniously  converted 
into  a  foot-drill  by  Dr.  Greenwood,  is  still  preserved;  and  the  brass  box, 
which  was  attached  to  it,  served  to  hold  the  steel  drills. 

Tradition  enumerates  among  the  various  kinspeople  of  Mrs.  Elisabeth 

i Hooglat.dt)  Cossart.  the  families  of  Janeway,  llogewool  rs  and 

kOnwenhoven.     We  find,  on  investigation,  that  li ei  ;landt,

person  who  was  imported  into  the  Colony,  without  regard  to  age, 
sex,  or  condition  of  life.  The  person  entitled  to  this  benefit  made 
oath  in  his  county  court  to  the  facts  of  the  case,  and  a  certificiu 
lined  to  him,  on  presentation  of  which  to  the  authorities  at  .James- 
town a  patent  was  granted  for  whatever  amount  of  land  it  showed 
to  be  due  to  him. 

These  records  of  patents  are  now  preferred  in  unbroken  series  at 
the  Land  Office  at  Richmond,  and  a  few  years  ago  an  attempt  was 
made  to  p  icts  of  them  ( Iticfonond  Critic,  6  January,  1689, 

ei  teq.),  but,  most  unfortunately,  the  periodica]  came  to  an  abrupt 
tod  in  1890,  and  9  of  the  earliest  of  them   were  published, 

covering  the  period  from  1023  to  1636  inclusive.  It  is  greatly  to 
be  hoped  that  the  task  will  be  taken  up  again  and  carried  out  to 
completion  as  at  first  designed. 

The  time  at  the  writer"?  disposal  being  limited,  he  has  only  covered 
in  his  extracts  the  period  from  .May,  1687,  to  May,  1666  ;  hot  sub- 
sequent to  the  latter  date  many  entries  of  great  interest  might  be 
found.  ( '  uiipariaon  of  these  certificates  with  the  patents  paoaahed 
in  the  Critic  is  most  interesting,  as  it  will  be  seen  that  they  largely 
Ooatratc  each  other. 

Many  abuses  of  the  privileges  granted  of  course  occurred,  and  'J 
December,  1712,  a  proclamation  was  issued  by  Gov.  Spotswood, 
ordering  all  certificates  to  be  examined  and  re-affirmed.  The  fol- 
ig  entry  will  serve  as  a  fair  example  of  the  methods  to  be  cora- 

batted:— "Certificate  granted  to for  200  acres  of 

land  for  his  own  importation  Into  the  Colony  four  times." 

Beside  these  land  certificates  the  court  books  coutain  a  vast  amouut 
of  information  which  it*  of  ihc  more  value  as  there  are  practically  no 

her  reoords  extant.  Wills,  deeds,  depositions,  and  occasionally 
of  marriage,  alternate  in  the  dockets  with  actions  for  debt  and 
criminal  procedures,  the  whole  throwing  a  flood  of  light  on  the  early 
history  of"  the  county  which  is  well  worth  exploitation  by  some  local 
historian  who  has  the  leisure  to  devote  to  the  work. 

The  few  extracts  which  follow  the  list  of  certificates  will  give  some 
idea  of  the  scope  and  value  of  these  entries  ;  they  have  been  selected 
mainly  with  a  view  to  illustrate  the  origin  and  early  English  con- 
nection of  the  emigrants. 

To  the  Clerk  of  the  Court  and  his  courteous  assistants  the  writer 
must  express  his  m  d  thanks  for  uniform  kindness  and  facil- 

ities shown  for  thorough  examination  of  the  records  in  their  charge. 
He  would  also  express  bis  obligation  to  Mr.  Virgiuiuo  Newton  of 
Richmond.  Va..  in  whose  behalf  this  search  was  undertaken,  for 
kind  permission  to  use  these  notes. 

At  a  Conrt  liolden  21  Nov.  1638  Thomas  Melton  (I)*  was  granted  one

DESCENDANTS  OF  WALTER  HAYNES  AND  PETER 
NOYB8,  OF  8DDBUB7,  MASS. 

By  Fasnaaica  Hatxhs  N«wat.t,  E*q.,  or  Washington,  D.  C. 

The  following  facts  were  obtained  for  the  greater  part  from  a 
copy  of  an  old  manuscript,  the  original  of  which  waa  written  by 
John  Hayne*.  (b.  16o4)  describing  the  families  of  hie  great  grand- 
parents Walter  Haynca  and  Peter  Noyea,  who  came  to  this  country 
together  and  located  in  Sudbury.      This  whs  written  later  than  1772, 

nee  it  gires  that  date,  and  waa  probably  prepared  when  the  writer 
of  the  original  was  nearly  90  years  of  age.  The  manuscript  was 
found  among  the  pupers  of  his  grandson  Samuel  Haynea  (b.  1737) 

f  the  latter'e  grandson  Win.  F.  Hay  nee,  and  a  copy  waa  made  by 
hi*  cousin  Clark  Lewis  Haynes  (b.  1807)  the  grandfather  of  the 
pretest  writer.  Frederick  Ilaynes  Newell. 

Savage 'a  Genealogical  Dictionary  gives  many  of  the  more  impor- 
tant of  these  name*  and  dates,  and  a  comparison  show*  a  remarkably 
done  agreement  in  detail*.      The  old  manuacript,   however,   gives

The   Widow  of David  Ttiomwn. 


THE  WIDOW  OF  DAVID  THOMSON*. 

By  Fiusk  W.  Bacxstt,  of  Portsmouth,  N.  H. 

Evert  new  fact  relating  to  thfl  i'.rtumrs,  or  the  family,  of  Dt 
Thomson,  the  first  settler  of  New  Hampshire,  (l,  it  is  hardly  n< 
to  say,  of  historic  interest.     Landing  early  in  Hi 23,  with  his  lit 
band,  at  the  mouth  of  the  Pascataqua,  building  there  a  subst 
house,  and  fortifying  it ;  in  NJiii!  himself  removing  with  wife 
child,  or  children,  to  an  island  in  Boston  harbor,  that  to  this 
bears  his  name, — and  dying  booh  after,  the  little  that  is  known 
Thomson's  career  excites  a  desire  to  ascertain  what  manner  of 
he  was,  and  what,  in  its  fullest  bearings,  was  the  purpose  of 
coining  hithi-r. 

It  is  to  be  hoped  that  records  will  some  day  come  to  light 
shall  make  ua  better  acquainted  with  these  "old  planters,"  wi 
courage  and  enterprise  entitle  them  to  grateful  remembrance.     Me 
while  it  is  a  pleasure  to  announce  that  a  mystery  is  at  last  dispe 
which  hitherto  has  attached  to  Thomson,  and  has  long  perplexed 
local  historians.     I  refer  to  the  fact  now  made  certain  that  the  wit 
of  David  Thomson  became  later  the  wife  of  no  leas  a  personage 
Samuel  Maverick. 

The  date  of  Maverick's  marriage  to  Mrs.  Amias  Thomson  is 
jectural,   but  of  the  occurrence  of  the  event  itself  there  can  be 
doubt.     Thomson  died  "soon  after"  coming  to  Thomson's  Ieli 
probably  in  162b".     His  widow  was  married  to  Maverick,  perbi 
late  in  1627.*     The  Reverend  William  Blackstone  was  at  hand 
perform  the  ceremony  according  to  the  rites  of  the  Church  of 
land. 

It  may  interest  the  reader  to  learn  how  it  has  lately  come  to 
known  that  Amias  Maverick  was  none  other  than  Amias,  widow 
David  Thomson. 

Being  engaged   in   the  preparation   of  a  volume  upon 
Mavcrirk,  lo  he  printed  by  the  Prince  Society,  I  could  not  but 
struck  with  the  value  of  the  dues  afforded  by  a  letter  of  Amias 
crick,  addressed  to  Robert  Trelawny,  of  Plymouth,  a  friend  of 
father,  and  one  who  "loved"  her  first  husband.     The  letter,  wi 
will  be  found  at  page  76  of  that  admirable  volume  "The  Trelai 
Papers,"  edited  by  James  Phinncy  Baxter  (Documentary  II 
of  Maine,  vol.  in.,  Portland,  1884),  is  dated  20th  November,  162 

•  GoTornor  Bradford's  Letter  Book  (Collections  of  Iho  Mm»iIhi-hi.   lli-torical

:he  suggestion  of  Mr.  Baxter,  I  addressed  a  letter  of  enquiry 
|o  the  historian  of  Plymouth,  Mr.  K.  X.  Worth.  My  letter  spoke 
rf  Samuel  .Maverick  and  David  Thomson,  as  in  my  belief  oonm-eted 
|n  business  relations,  and  both  devoted  to  the  interests  of  Gorges. 
if  some  traces  of  Th>  ansofl  were  not  to  be  {bond  in  the  church 
at  Plymouth,  or  something  to  indicate  who  was  Amias 
rick's  father;  and  I  enclosed  a  copy  of  the  seal  used  by  Mrs. 
lerick. 

W'.irth  verv  promptly  responded  as  follows,  under  date  of 
iber,  1«U1  : 

is  a  clue  to  Amias  Maverick's  identity,  which  I  will  try  if 

Eip  farther.     llerseal  jg  what  is  called  a  merchant's  mark, 
I  believe  U  ft  of  Moses  Goodyear,  who  was  originally  Robert 

•way's  partner  in  the  New  England  grant  in  1681,  hut  who  booii  after 
lbs  wife  was  a  daughter  of  Abraham  Jennings,  a  merchant  of 
uid  I  believe  is  the  lady  in  question,  though  uufortunately  as 
am't  put  my  hand  ou  her  Christian  uame.     That  she  should  use 
eal  is  quite  natural.     Goodyear  was  probably  about  tbe  same 
Robert  Trelawuy,   who  was  born  in  IMS,  and  his  ff  '-fore 

be  q  .uouable  age  to  marry  Maverick. 

mett  I  have  no  doubt  be  is  John   Clement,  whom   Robert

been  the  who  was  mayor  of  Plymouth  in  101$. 

lis  negative  evidence,  but  the  only  other  Plymouth  families  of  note  at 

time  connected   with  merchautry,  whose  names  began  with  G,  were 

and  the  Gayers  (these  connected  with  the  Trelownys),  but  she  can't 

omoog  them.

■t  was  enabled  to  communicate  the  gratifying  intelligence  that 

d  found  what  we  wen;  after,  and  hit  upon  a  true  solution  of  the 
y .     The  following  is  a  copy  of  his  letter  :

So  your  two  mysteries  wbou  ruu  to  earth  turn  out  to  be  oi»e.     It  ii 
of  ihc  must  curious  coincidents  iu  my  experience. 

Yuu  need  have  no  doubt  as  to  the  identity.     I  found  do  other  Amiai 
Amy es  for  at  least  forty  years,  and  uo  other  Thomson.     He  was  e video 
not  a  1'lymuuth  uian.     Quite  as  clearly  she  was  a  Plymouth  woman, 
though  I  could  nut  find  the  entry  of  her  birth,  the  Colles  or  Coles  w< 
Plymouth  family;  and  about  the  lime  when  she  must  have  been  born  t 
were  four  Coles  having  children  baptized  year  by  year, — Thom.-i 
William  and  Robert.     There  are  a  few  illegible  names  in  the  register, 
a  month  here  and  there  is  recorded  as  wanting  in  the  latter  decades  of 
sixteenth  century,  or  she  may  have  been  baptized  in  an  adjacent 
but  Amias  Maverick  is  clearly  Amyes  Thomson,  who  was  Amyes  Colle 
Cole-     I  am  delighted  to  have  been  able  to  run  her  to  earth.     The 
clearly  could  not  nave  been  hers,  or  her  husband's,  though  had  the  G 
a  C  it  might  have  been  her  father's.     I  suppose  there  is  no  chance  of 
original  being  a  C. 

I  also  came  across  the  entry  of  the  baptism  of  Johu  Winter,  which  I 
been  told  could  not  bo  fouud.     John  Wyuter,  sou  of  Robert  Wynter, 

baptized  July  6,  1595.     That  may  be  of  use  to  yon 

Yours  respectfully, 

K.  N.  Worth. 

Aa  for  the  seal,  one  may  say  after  a  minute  examination  that  it  I 
by  no  means  certain  that  the  letter  is  not  a  "C,"  after  all.  Cti 
ously  enough  the  seal  that  Amias  Maverick  uses  is  identical 
that  adopted  by  Kichard  Vines.  (Sco  vol.  vii.,  4th  Series, 
chusetts  Historical  Society  Collections).  To  this  identity  in  the 
employment  of  a  seal  Mr.  Baxter  has  called  attention  in  a  note  to 
the  Trelawny  Papers.  It  is  not  beyond  the  range  of  possibility  that 
the  circumstance  of  an  identical  seal,  thus  used,  may  lead  to 
discovery  of  consequence. 

Nor  is  it  unlikely  that  the  marriage  of  Samuel  Maverick  and 
Amias  Thomson  thus  ascertained  may  have  been  the  first  weddi 
by  church  ceremony  of  our  English  ancestors  upon  the  soil  of  N< 
England.

After  the  passage  of  the  Boston  Port  Hill,  John  Crane,  finding  it 
hard  to  support  his  family  in  the  stagnation  of  trade  that  ensned. 
removed  with  bis  partnur  Ebeuezer  Stevens,  to  Providence,  R.  I. 
Soon  after,  the  MWI  of  the  figbt  at  Bunkt-r  Hill  roused  them;  they 
■diately  raised  two  companies  of  artillery,  marched  to  Roxhury 
aud  joined  Colouul  Gridley's  regiment;  when  Crane  was  appointed 
major  and  Sceveus  captain  iu  the  Rhode  Island  Train  Baud. 

From  this  time  until  the  close  of  the  war,  Major  Crane  was  in 
constant  service.  July  8.  1775.  he,  with  Major  Tupper  and  a  com- 
pany of  volunteers,  attacked  a  British  advanced  guard  on  Button 
neck  and  routed  them.  He  commanded  a  breaat-work'ou  the  neck 
during  the  siege  of  Boston ;  January  1,  177G,  be  received  a  commis- 
sion as  major  in  Knox's  regiment  of  artillery,  and  went  with  the 
army  to  New  York.  Sept.  14,  1776,  a  part  of  one  of  his  feet  was 
shot  off  whilst  he  was  caunonading  a  British  frigate  that  was  run- 
obig  by  Corlaier's  Hook,  and  was  thus  disabled  for  a  time.  Jan.  1, 
1777,  he  received  a  colonel's  rank  and  raised  a  regiment  in  Massa- 
chusetts •'  which  was  olli  .  tly  by  those  who  had  been  trained 
under  Pa'Muck,  Gridley  and  Knox,  which  was  principally  employed 
iu  the  main  army  near  the  person  of  the  commander-in-chief  aDd 
was  relied  on  as  an  essential  auxiliary  in  the  most  important  battles. 
Kfl  military  organization  in  the  army  participated  in  so  many

division  of  laud  iu  Fly  mouth,  1624;  settled  in  Kustham  iu  1645;  a  man  of 
ininh  note.  We  find  where  he  lived,  and  his  neighbors,  from  Plymouth 
Colon;  Records,  vol.  1.  page  59.  M  A  heigh  waye"  "from  Plymouth  to 
tho  Belt  River.  .  .  .  The  upper  way  to  Thomas  Clarkos  still;  the  lower 
way  from  Ralph  W aliens  right,  out  to  HolmanB  Rock;  allowed  fourty  foot* 
on  the  west  side,  aud  so  straight  to  Man  esses  Kemptou's  ground,  whose 
fence  is  to  bo  removed  twenty  footo  inward,  aud  so  passing  betweoue  two

the  foote  way  to  be  contintx-d  from  Mr  liopkin's,  in  the  old  path,  belowe 
Thomas  Clarkes  to  the  heigh  way."  etc. 

He  was  freeman  1633.  He  with  six  others — Mr.  Thomas  Prence,  John 
Donne,  Nicholas  Snow.  Josius  Cook,  Richard  Higgins,  John  Smally.  and 
Rlward  Bang* — seven  families,  in  all  forty-nine  souls,  began  the  settlemeat 
of  Eualham  —  at  first  called  Nauset,  early  in  1645.  It  "  \*  granted  to  be  a 
township,  and  to  have  all  the  privileges  of  a  township  as  other  towns  within 
the  government  have "  in  1616.  "Thus  recognized  a  meeting  of  the  in- 
habitants, duly  convened,  elected  Nicholas  Snow  Town  clerk,  Edward 
Hank*  town  treasurer,  A  Josias  Cooke  town  constable."  Nicholas  Snow 
wad  town  clerk  from  1 646,  sixteen  years ;  was  deputy  from  1 648,  three 
years;  waa  selectman  from  1 663,  seven  years.  He  and  his  son  Mark  signed 
the  call  to  Rev.  John  Mayo  to  settle  as  their  minister  in  1665.  He  wii 
one  of  Gov.  Thomas  Prence's  associates.  We  think  he  waa  born  in  Eng- 
land. 

Henry  F.  Waters,  in  his  Genealogical  Gleanings  in  England  (Rf.oisti 
vol.  89,  page  166),  states  that  Joseph  Walker  of  St.  Margaret's,  city 
Westminster,  gentleman,  in  his  will  dated  13  Feb.  1666,  proved  F.-h. 
1666,  bequeaths  "  to  my  kinswoman  Mary  Snow,  wife  of  Niehi.i 
citizen  &  armourer  of  London,  whome  I  nominate  executrix.*'     Also 
will  of  George  TJpham  Wiveliscomhe,   Somerset,  dated   1653,  meats 
testator's  brother-in-law  Nicholas  Snow.     This  Nicholas  Snow  and  ' 
his  wife  may  have  been  the  parents  of  our  Nicholas.     He  name*  his 
daughter  Mary. 

He  died  at  Eastham,  Nov.  15, 1676.  He  married  in  Plymouth,  Coos! 
Hopkins,  daughter  of  Mr.  Stephen  Hopkins,  and  a  former  wife.  Tl 
came  in  the  Mayflower.  Bradford,  in  hi*  History  of  Plymouth  Plantati 
(Collections  of  Massachusetts  Historical  Society,  4th  Series,  vol.  3, 
448),  gives  in  the  list  of  the  MayDowerites :— "  Mr  Steven  Hopkins  A  Elisa- 
beth his  wife,  A  2  children  caled  Gilea  A  Constanta  a  doufchter,  both  bfl

was  borne  at  sea,  A  2  servants,  called  Edward  Dotey,  A  Edward  I. 
In  1650  be  writes,  "Mr  Hopkins  A  his  wife  are  now  both  dead,  but  tbty 
lived  about  20  years  in  this  place,  A  had  one  sone  A  4  daughters  born

Thk  first  glimpse  we  get  of  Hope  Allen,  is  found  in  the  Boston  Town 
Records  (Second  Report  of  Record  Commissioners  of  Boston):  Tbe 
29th  7  mo,  1651.  At  a  meeting  this  Day  of  the  Select  men,  Hope  Alias, 
a  Currier,  is  admitted  an  inhabitant." — (page  106).  On  May  14,  1660, 
Hope  Allen  and  wife  Rachel  of  Boston  sell  for  X400  to  Samuel  Bennett, 
their  new  dwelling  house  in  Boston.  May  31,  1G60,  he  purchased  440 
acres  of  land  on  Casco  River  (now  Portland,  Me.),  of  George  Cleeve*. 
May  23,  1666,  he  petitions  the  court  that  tanners  aud  shoemakers  may  us 
exercise  the  trade  of  a  currier.  May  31,  1670,  he  is  fined  £10  for  allowing 
his  daughter  to  marry  Mr.  Deacou  without  the  prescribed  form  of  being 
published. 

His  will  was  written  in  Boston,  May .3,  1677,  and  may  be  aeen  in  tafl

Hope  Allen,  ten.,  died  probably  in  Jnne  or  July,  1677.  His  widow 
married  Richard  Knight,  about  1683.  In  his  will  Ilopu  Allen 
rises  the  400  acres  of  land  in  Falmouth  to  his  eldest  son  Edward,  and 
portion  to  his  wife  Hannah  and  children  Jacob,  Benjamin,  Alury.  Elizabeth 
Deborah.  His  youngest  child  Hope  was  not  then  boru;  from  this  it 
appear  that  the  rest  of  his  children  were  deceased.  His  son  Ehvard 
tiled  in  Dover,  N.  II.;  be  had  a  son  Edward  boru  in  Boston,  July  11, 
1671.  and  Hamiith,  bnpt.  20th  -I  mo.  1675,  and  probably  Jacob,  b.  in  1

where  he  was  a  prominent  mnn,  and  where  he  and  his  wife  Surah  probably 
died.  Hi*  son  Edward  settled  early  in  Nantucket,  aud  was  the  progenitor 
of  numerous  descendants.

Of  tbe  mistaken  deductions  of  "  Browning's  Americans  of  Hoyal  Descent."  An

[Ayr 


8c wall  in  1678.     John  Hull  became  treasurer  and  master  of  I 
•Mint  in  1G52,  and  left  a  large  estate. 

William  Mull,  the  subject  of  our  memoir,  was  horn  in  Derby 
1753,  being  the  fourth  son  of  Joseph  Hull,  3d,  and  Eliza  Clark,  w 
traced  her  descent  from  Thomas  Clarke  of  Plymouth,  said  to  hi 
been  the  mute  of  the  Mayflower. 

Joseph  Mull  wus  a  substantial  farmer,   who  sent  William  to  V 
College,  where  he  was  graduated  with  the  Knglish  oration  in    177 
He  first  taught  a  school,  then  studied  law  at  Litchfield,  and  was  :t> 
ted  to  the  bar  in  1775.      In  April  of  that  year  he  was  chosen  captain 
of  the  first  company  raised  in  Derby,  and  marched  with  Coloi 
Webb's  regiment  to   Cambridge,    where  he  took  part  in  the  siege 
Boston,  his  regiment  being  one  of  those  which  seized  and  fortiik 
Dorchester  heights,  compelling  the  British  to  evacuate  Boston. 

The  next  service  for  Captain  Hull's  regiment  was  the  defence 
New  York,  for  which  purpose  Washington  occupied  Brooklyn  heights 
and  waa  attacked  by  a  greatly  superior  British  force  ami  defeated 
but  succeeded  in  crossing  the  Mast  river  to  New  York  in  a  f. 
next  morning,  with  his  whole  force  of  9000  men,  and  posted  himse 
at  Fort  Wellington.  To  ascertain  the  object  of  the  enemy  was  in 
portuut ;  this  was  made  known  to  Col.  Knowlton,  of  the  Connection 
line,  and  his  officers.  Captain  Nathan  Hale  had  recently  been 
transferred  from  Webb's  regiment  to  that  of  Knowlton.  Tbae 
existed  a  warm  friendship  between  him  tad  Captain  Hull,  « 
of  the  same  age  and  had  been  classmates  at  Yale.  After  his  in 
Tiew  with  Col.  Knowlton,  Captain  Hale  visited  Captain  Hull. 
told  bun  what  had  paused,  aud  said  he  thought  be  owed  to  his  coun- 
try the  accomplishment  of  an  object  so  important,  and  he  knew  of 
other  mode  of  obtaining  the  inl  than  by  assuming  a  dieguk 

and  passing  into  the  enemy's  camp.  Captain  Hull  tried  to  dissuac 
him  from  the  undertaking,  arguing  that  it  was  nut  in  the  line  of  h 
duty  ;  and  that  hi:  wits  of  too  trunk  and  open  a  temper  to  BOt 
fully  the  part  of  a  any,  Of  to  face  its  dangers,  which  would  probal 
lead  to  a  disgraceful  death.  Captain  Hale  replied  that  he  consid 
no  death  disgraceful  when  incurred  in  the  service  of  his  coun 
After  considerable  discussion,  in  which  Captain  Hale's  r 
seemed  to  be  unshaken,  he  took  his  friend  by  the  hand  and  said 
will  reflect,  and  do  nothing  but  what  duty  demands."  He 
peared  from  our  army,  and  in  a  few  days  an  officer  came  to 
camp,  under  a  flag  of  truce,  with  the  information  that  Captain 
had  been  arrested  within  the  British  lines,  condemned  as  a  spy, 
executed  that  morning. 

When  apprehended,  he  was  taken  before  Sir  William  Howe, 
papers  on  his  person  which  showed  his  business,  and  he  at  c

Hale  asked  for  a  clergyman  to  attend  him,  and  for  a  Bible,  both  of 
which  requests  were  refused  by  the  brutal  Provost  Marshal,  who 
was  an  American  tory.  "  On  the  morning  of  the  execution,"  said 
the  officer,  "  my  station  being  near  the  fatal  spot,  I  requested  the 
ftovost  Marshal  to  permit  the  prisoner  to  sit  in  my  marquee  while 
he  was  making  the  necessary  preparations.  Captain  Hide  entered, 
he  bore  himself  with  gentle  dignity,  in  the  consciousness  of  rectitude 
sad  high  intentions.  He  asked  for  writing  materials,  which  I  fur- 
awhed  him,  he  wrote  two  letters,  one  to  his  mother  and  one  to  a 
brother  officer.  He  was  shortly  after  suspended  to  the  gallows. 
Few  persons  were  around  him,  yet  his  characteristic  dying  words 
were  remembered.  He  said,  "  I  only  regret  that  I  have  but  one  life 
to  lose  for  my  country."  The  Provost  Marshal  destroyed  the  let- 
ters of  his  prisoner,  and  assigned  as  a  reason  "that  the  rebels  should 
sot  know  that  they  had  a  man  in  their  army  who  could  die  with  so 
Bach  firmness." 

Captain  Hull's  next  service  was  at  White  Plains.  A  brigade  of 
1500  men,  to  which  Colonel  Webb's  regiment  belonged,  under  the 
command  of  Gen.  McDougall,  was  ordered  to  occupy  Chatterton's 
Hill  to  oppose  the  advance  of  the  British  army  under  Gen.  Howe, 
which  it  did  for  two  or  three  hours,  and  at  last  retired  in  good  order, 
Webb's  regiment  being  the  last  to  quit  the  field,  for  which  it  re- 
ceived the  thanks  of  Gen.  Washington.  The  brigade  lost  250  men 
in  killed  and  wounded,  and  inflicted  an  equal  loss  on  the  enemy.  In 
this  engagement  Captain  Hull  was  detached  by  Colonel  Brooks  his 
commander  to  oppose  a  superior  force  of  the  enemy  which  was 
seeking  to  turn  the  left  flank  of  the  American  force.  After  u  sharp 
conflict,  in  which  Captain  Hull  was  wounded,  the  enemy  was  driven 
hack. 

On  the  25th  of  December,  1776,  Gen.  Washington  marched  with 
2400  men  to  attack  the  British  post  at  Trenton,  garrisoned  by  1500 
Hessians.  Webb's  regiment  was  in  the  right  column  commanded 
by  Gen.  Greene.  The  Lt.  Colonel  and  Major  being  absent,  Cap- 
tain Hull  aeted  as  field  officer  by  direction  of  Colonel  Webb.  The 
crossing  of  the  Delaware,  amid  floating  ice,  was  due  to  the  t-kill  of  a 
regiment  composed  chiefly  of  Marblehead  sailors,  and  the  march  of 
ten  miles  through  a  heavy  snow  storm  resulted  in  the  killing  or  cap- 
ture of  most  of  the  garrison,  with  the  loss  of  two  men  killed  and  two 
frozen  to  death.  For  his  conduct  in  this  affair  Captain  Hull  was 
promoted  by  Washington  (there  being  no  vacancy  in  the  Connec- 
ticut line)  to  be  a  Major  in  the  8th  Massachusetts  regiment.  About 
die  1st  of  January,  1777,  Major  Hull  was  ordered  with  a  small  body 
of  troops  to  impede  if  possible  the  advance  of  Lord  Cornwallis, 
who  with  greatly  superior  members  was  coming  to  attack  Washing- 
ton. Major  Hull  met  the  British  advance  about  three  miles  from 
Trenton,  and  skirmished  with  it  during  the  afternoon,  so  retarding  the 
British  forces  that  Washington  was  able  to  retire  to  a  strong  position

behind  the  Aeaupiuk  Creek  with  about  5000  men.     Corn  wal  lis  with 
double  that  number  was  on  the  other  aide  of  the  creek,  and  tl  ■ 
armies  exchanged   cannonades   until   dark.     Cornwallis  « i 
exacted  to  destroy   thi>    American  army  on  the  morrow  and  put  in 
end  to  the  war.      But   Washington,   leaving  his  camp  6re»  but 
withdrew  silently  in   the  night,   marched  upon  Princeton,  and  de- 
feated the  British  force  there,  inflicting  a  loss  of  four  hundred  men, 
killed,  wounded  and  prisoners. 

(  u-ncrai  Hull  left  with  one  of  his  daughters  some  manuscript  note* 
describing  his  services  during  the  war  of  the  Revolution,  from  which 
we  make  some  extracts  : 

*  When  we  left  ilu  Highlands,  my  company  consisted  of  about  fifty,  raik 
md  lili'-  1  Brood  thai  there  was  not  more  than  one  poor  blanket  to  two 
men;  many  of  ihem  bad  neither  shoes  nor  stockings;  and  those  who  had, 
found  ihem  nearly  worn  out.  All  the  clothing  was  of  the  same  wretched 
description. 

These  troops  had  been  about  a  year  in  service,  and  their  pay  was  it 
due  them,  yet  their   privadoJM  and    trials    were  only  equalled  by  the 
patience-      In  ;i  noble  spirit  of  patriotism,  they  served  their  country 
her  greatest  need,  without  compensation,  and  almost  without  the  ho 
of  more  prosperous  days. — In   the  attacks  at  Trenton  and  Princeton 
were  in  this  destitute  situation,  and  continued  to  sleep  on  the  frozen 
without  covering,  until  the  7th  of  January  when  we  arrived  at  Morris 
ST.  J.,  where  we  went  into  winter  quarters.     The  patient  endurance  of  i 
arms  at  iliis  period,  is  perhaps  unoxamped  in  this  or  any  other  country." 

When  the  army  was  established  in  winter  quarters  in  January, 
1777,  Major  Hull  was  ordered  to  Boston  to  recruit  the  Eig"  " 
Massachusetts  regiment,  of  which  Michael  Jackson  was  colonel 
John  Brooks  lieutenant  colonel-  Colonel  Jackson  was  still  did 
by  wounds,  and  Col.  Brooks  had  been  recruiting  that  regiment, 
had  sent  several  companies  to  Springfield.  Major  Hull  was  ordered 
to  that  place  to  take  command  and  attend  to  their  discipline. 
April  he  was  ordered  to  march  them,  three  hundred  in  number, 
Tieonderogn  to  reinforce  Gen.  St.  Clair.  Here  St.  Clair  was  be*  J 
eeiged  by  land  and  water  by  greatly  superior  numbers  under  Geo. 
Burgoyne,  and  found  himself  on  the  6th  of  July  obliged  to  cvncaite 
the  fort  and  retreat  ;  pursuit  by  the  British  was  immediate,  and  S<. 
Clair's  rear  guard  was  attacked  the  next  day,  and  defeated,  with 
considerable  loss,  but  St.  Clair  brought  the  bulk  of  his  army  t 
Edward  on  the  Hudson,  where  he  found  the  force  of  Gen.  Schuyler. 

A  popular  clamor  immediately  arose  against  St.  Clair.      Bfei 
army  which  he  had  saved  from  destruction  joined  in  the  cry.     Maji 
Hull  did  everything  in  his  power  to  convince  his  brother  officers 
the  necessity  of  the  retreat,  and  wrote  a  letter  to  a  Connectic 
per,  justifying  the  measure.      A  public  inquiry  was  made,  ai. 
Was  In. numbly  acquitted. 

When  Burgoyne  advanced  upon  Fort  Edward,  Schuyler  ret i

hundred  men,  and  was  to  remain  two  mile*  in  the  rear  and  re- 
the  approach  of  the  enemy.  Thie  be  successfully  did,  and  re- 
ived the  thanks  of  Gm.  Schuyler  for  his  conduct. 
Major  Hull  was  next  ordered  tu  inarch  with  his  detachment  to 
Albany,  and  join  Gen.  Arnold,  who  waa  about  to  go  with  fifteen 
hundred  men  to  relieve  Fort  Stanwix,  which  was  besieged  hy  a  large 
force  under  Gen.  St.  Leger.  On  Arnold's  approach  the  British 
retreated  in  haste,  leaving  their  camp  equipage  and  military  stores, 
tod  went  to  join  Gen.  Burgoyne. 

It  the  battles  of  the  nineteenth  of  September  and  the  seventh  of 
October,  which  led  to  the  surrender  of  Burgoyne,  Major  Hull  took 
fart,  although  not  with  his  regiment,  the  Eighth  Massachusetts,  then 
commanded  by  Col.  John  Brooks.  In  the  fir<t  battle  Major  Hull 
ided  a  picket  guard  of  two  hundred  and  fifty  men  in  front  of 
!  camp,  and  when  the  action  commenced  two  regiments  were  sent 
U>  strengthen  the  position.  Soon  after  the  action  began  General 
Arnold  rode  to  Major  Hull's  position,  called  the  officers  around  him 
ud  told  them  that  three  hundred  volunteer*,  to  be  commnnded  by  a 
field  officer,  must  immediately  reinforce  the  troops  which  were  en- 
gaged. As  no  other  officer  offered  his  services.  Major  Hull  remarked 
that  if  be  could  be  excused  from  his  duty  of  commanding  jhe  guard, 
be  would  be  happy  to  command  the  detachment.  Gen.  Arnold 
replied  that  he  would  excuse  him,  and  directed  the  colonels  of  the 
regiments  to  call  for  three  hundred  volunteers,  and  officers  to 
them.  In  a  few  minutes  the  number  required  was  paraded, 
ud  in  four  companies  was  marched  by  Major  Hull  to  the  relief  of 
Gen.  Poor,  who  was  hotly  engaged.  The  fighting  waa  very  obsti- 
nate during  the  whole  afternoon.  Towards  night  Major  Hull  led  a 
Uy.inet  charge,  which  resulted  in  the  repulse  of  the  enemy  and  the 
opture  of  two  guns,  with  some  prisoners.  Of  the  three  hundred 
Tclunteers,  one  half  were  killed  or  wounded,  which  showed  the 
•ererity  of  the  engagement. 
We  have  described  this  action  particularly,  because  some  histor- 
.ire  denied  the  presence  of  Gen.  Arnold  on  that  day. 
luportaM  us  took  place  until  the  seventh   of  October, 

when  Burgoyne  undertook  to  force  hie  way  through  the  American 
Eaee.       On   this  day  Major  Hull  again   commanded  the  advanced 
guard  of  two  hundred  and  fifty  men.      When  Burgoyne  advanced  he 
*a»  furiously  attacked  by  Arnold's  three  regiments,   Morgan's  rifle- 
oen,  and  the  guard  of  Major  Hull.     Burgoyne  was  driven  back  to 
hb  camp  hotly  pursued,  leaving  most  of  his  artillery,  arms,  and  some 
riaions. 
As  soon  as  the  retreat  commenced,  Major  Hull  with  his  guard  was 
to  assist  in  removing  the  prisoners,  the  wounded,  and  the 
artillery,  while  Arnold  and  Morgan  pursued  the  British  to 
their  camp,  which  was  stormed ,  and  the  Eighth  Maaaachueetta  regi- 
ment,   under  Col.  Brooke,   established  themselves  in  the  enemy's

works.  Although  Major  Hull  had  a  separate  command  on  this 
men  tons  day,  and  acted  his  part  in  the  battle,  yet  he  remarks, 
always  regretted  that  as  I  was  the  major  and  second  in  command 
the  Kighth  Massachusetts  regiment,  that  by  the  routine  of"  duty  I  w 
absent  mm  it  at  the  time  when  it  stormed  the  British  intrenchuients. 
Major  1 1  till  was  present  at  the  surrender  of  Burgoyne  at  Saratoga 
few  days  after  this  battle. 

After  the  close  of  this  campaign,  the  Eighth  Massachusetts  regi- 
ment was  ordered  to  Pennsylvania  to  reinforce  Gen.  Washington 
at  Whitcmursh.  The  troops  were  disappointed,  feeling  thai 
had  done  enough  for  the  campaign.  They  had  marched  from  Bos* 
ton  to  Tieondoroga  ;  hnd  retreated  through  a  wilderness  from  that 
place  to  the  Hudson  ;  had  marched  to  the  relief  of  Fort  Stauwix 
the  Mohawk ;  had  returned,  and  been  engaged  in  all  the  battles 
with  General  Burgoyne.  They  wished  to  go  into  winter  quarter*. 
But  with  cheerful  submission  to  orders,  they  marched  to  afford  i 
to  their  countrymen.  A  few  day*  after  the  kuotiOD  of  the  t 
armies,  (Jen.  Howe  came  from  Philadelphia  with  hie  principal  fa 
with  the  evident  intention  of  bringing  on  a  general  eugageuien 
But  he  was  unable  to  force  Washington  from  his  strong  position 
and  after  BOHM  skirmishing  be  returned  to  Philadelphia,  aud  on  lbs 
twelfth  of  December  the  American  army  went  into  winter  quarters 
at  Valley  Forge,  about  twenty  miles  from  Philadelphia.  The  camp 
was  bounded  on  one  side  by  the  Schuylkill,  on  the  other  by  w 
hills ;  the  camp  was  entrenched,  and  a  bridge  built  across  the 
and  the  soldiers  built  log  cabins  for  shelter.  Major  Hull  writes 
Col.  Brooks  and  himself  occupied  a  hut  together;  it  had  but  one 
room,  but  their  shelves  contained  a  few  books  and  a  row  of  cheeses, 
sent  from  Derby  to  him  by  his  mother  ;  a  luxury  of  which  tbe 
camp  could  rnrely  bonst,  and  with  which  visitors  were  regaled 
Famine,  aud  its  natural  consequence,  mutiny,  were  threateuiug  the 
army  with  dissolution.  During  the  whole  winter  provisions  were 
scarce,  sometimes  no  meat  for  a  week.  The  small-pox  broke  out  is 
the  camp,  and  one  quarter  of  the  well  men  were  unfit  for  duty,  be- 
ing naked  and  bare-foot.  Had  Howe  been  on  energetio  commander 
he  might  have  captured  or  destroyed  the  Aim  ■ric-.m  army  at  this 
time,  but  fortunately  be  preferred  to  take  his  ease  in  Philadelp< 

Soon  after  the  army  was  quartered  at  Valley  Forge,  Baron  Steo- 
luii.  ;i  veteran  soldier  of  the  Prussian  army,  was  made  a  major  gen* 
eral,  and  the  inspector  general  of  Washington's  army.  The  Baron 
introduced  the  military  tactics  of  the  Great  Frederick,  as  far  as  diet 
would  apply  to  the  Americau  service.  They  were  simple  and  uni

cept  to  handle  the  firelock  in  such  a  manner  as  to  have  entire  control 
of  it — to  load,  take  aim,  and  fire  as  fast  as  possible.  He  likewise 
taught  one  uniform  mode  of  forming  columns,  and  drawing  up  in  a 
line  in  any  necessary  direction  the  situation  of  the  enemy  rem

these  simple  and  beautiful  exercises,  the  army  moved  like  I 

machine  whose  various  parts  unite  to  form  a  perfect  whole. 

j'.r    Hull,    with  other  field  officers,    was  appointed  to  assist  the 

in  these  duties. 

L778,  the  Marquis  Lafayette  was  sent  with  a  force  of

iv  Washington  to  reinforce  the  Marquis,  including  the 
:ith  Massachusetts  regiment  under  Major  llidl.  Some  skirmish- 
took  place,  but  the  British  retired  to  Philadelphia. 
In  the  battle  near  Monmouth  Court  House.  N.  J.,  on  an  intensely 
.  in  June,  177.**,  Major  Hull  was  in  command  of  the  NO 
■Mchusctts  regiment,  Col.  Brooks  being  detailed  for  other  duty, 
le  discipline  introduced  by  Baron  Steuben  here  bore  fruit,  aud  it 
would  probably  have  been  a  victory  for  the  Americana  but  for  the 
BttOo:i  Gen.  I*ee,  who  made  an  unnecessary   retreat  early  in 

tie  day.  He  was  sent  to  the  rear  bv  Gran.  Washington,  who  rallied 
the  troops  and  drove  back  the  enemy.  The  forces  were  nearly 
loual  and  the  fight  was  obstinate,  both  sides  claiming  the  victory, 
tut  |be  British  departed  silently  in  the  night.  Major  Hull  went 
[eld  the  next  morning,  and  found  a  large  number  of  dead 
bodic-  I  any  wounds,  who  probably  died  from  the  beat  of  the 

leather.  Ha  buried  four  officers  and  two  hundred  and  forty-five 
privates  of  the  enemy ;  and  more  must  have  been  killed,  for  there 
were  a  number  of  newly  made  graves.  In  bis  indignation  at  the 
retreat  of  Lee,  Washington  lost  his  usual  command  of  temper,  and 
Major  Hull,  trim  was  present,  used  to  describe  the  anger  of  the  chief 
is  so  terrific  that  Lee,  who  was  a  bold  and  arrogant  man,  was  com- 
pletely cowed  by  it. 

In  the  autumn  of  1 7 7 f ♦ .  Lt.  Col.  Brooks  being  absent  on  leave, 
Major  Hull  was  left  in  command  of  the  regiment,  which  in  November 
la  was  ordered  to  march  to  White  Plains  and  take  the  station 
do  the  lines  near  Kingsbridge.  Here  Major  Hull  remained  during 
lac  winter,  eighteen  miles  in  advance  of  the  American  army.  Being 
n  the  face  of  the  whole  British  army,  without  fortifications,  their 
nfety  depended  on  unceasing  vigilance,  and  although  many  attempts 
were  made  to  destroy  the  detachment,  they  were  invariably  defeated. 
Ihe  region  was  that  described  in  Cooper's  romance,  "The  Spy," 
lying  between  the  North  and  East  rivers  in  the  neighborhood  of 
Dobbs  Ferry,  and  was  ravaged  alternately  by  "skinners'*  and 
"cowboys."  whose  depredations  Major  Hull  was  sent  to  prevent. 
In  May,  Major  Hull  was  ordered  to  West  Point,  where  he  built  a 
fort  on  a  hill  which  commanded  the  other  works  at  that  place. 

In  July  he  was  ordered  to  unite  his  corps  to  Gen.  Wayne's  forces 
for  the  attack  on  Stony  Point,  which  took  place  on  the  night  of  the 


William  Hull. 


[Ai 


15th  of  July.     In  this  assault  Major  Hull  commanded  about  fox 
hundred  men  in  the  column  led  by  Wayne  himself.     The  works  w« 
taken  with  the  bayonet,  and  the  garrison  of  bIx  hundred  men   w« 
killed  or  made  prisoners.      For  his  conduct  on  this  occasion    Majc 
Hull  was  made  a  Lt.  Colonel.      He  had  two  narrow  escapes, 
bullet  piercing  his  hat,  another  his  boot. 

During  the  campaign  or'  1780,  Lt.  Col.  Hull  was  employed 
the  discipline  of  the  division  commanded  by  Gen.  Bowe,  <>i  whi< 
he  was  appointed  Deputy  Inspector  under  Baron  Steuhen.  Abot 
this  time  Lt.  Col.  Hull  was  honored  by  Gen.  Washington  by  an  ii 
vitation  to  enter  his  military  family  as  one  of  his  aids.  On 
sultation  with  Baron  Steuben,  however,  he  was  convinced  I 
Baron  that  he  could  be  more  useful  as  Assistant  Inspector,  than  it 
any  position,  he  having  become  familiar  with  the  course  of  instruction 
in  discipline  then  going  on  bo  successfully.  The  Baron  undertook 
to  explain  to  the  Chief,  Hull's  reasons  for  declining  so  honorable 
appointment.  Lt.  OoJ  Hull  not  only  der lined  the  appoint  hunt 
these  grounds,  but  he  ventured  to  recommend  bis  friend  Col.  Hi 
phrcys  for  the  position,  and  successfully,  for  Humphreys  was  a| 
pointed,  and  retained  until  the  end  of  the  war. 

In  the  fall  of  1780  Lt.  Col.  Hull  was  again  sent  with  a  force 
four  hundred  men  to  the  lines  on  the  Crotou  river  to  protect 
region,  where  civil  law  was  yet  silent. 

The  condition  of  the  army  was  distressing.     The  continental  bil 
of  credit,  with  which  the  army  was  paid,  had  so  depreciated  as  to 
almost  worthless,  and  a  month's  pay  would  hardly  buy  a  break 
Great   discontent   naturally   prevailed  among  the  troops,  and 
British  commander  sent    his    secret  emissaries   to   induce   them 
desert.      But  a  contrary  effect  was  produced  among  those  patriotic 
Americans,  for  they   siezed   the    spies   and  delivered  them    up   for 
punishment.      Washington  was  anxious  to  employ  these  disaftect 
troops,  and    Lt.  Col.  Hull  suggested  that  an  attack   might    be  sue 
cess  fully  made  upon  the  British  post  at  Morrisania,  garrisoned 
four   to    five   hundred  men  under  Colonel  De  Laueey.       This  pc 
being  four  miles  in  I  he  rear  of  a  large  part  of  the   British  army, 
enterprise  against  it  had  ever  succeeded  ;  but  to  break  it  up  was 
Object  <>f  importance!  it  being  held  by  a  partisan  corps  which  wa 
constantly  committing  depredations  on  the  people  between  the  ti 
armies.      General   Washington  expressed  doubts  as  to  the  success 
the  enterprise,  but  considering  the  advantages  to  be  gained,  he  gav< 
Lt.  Col.  Hull  permission  to  undertake  it  with  a  force  of  six  hunt 
men,  while  Gen.  Howe  should  inarch  against  a  body   of  mulint 
in  New  Jersey.      Both  expeditious  were  successful.

ing,  but  owing  to  bad  roads  ami  swollen  streams  the  place  was 
reached  till  after  daybreak.  A  sharp  contest  ensued  for  fifteen 
lutes,  when  the  loyalists  broke  and  scattered.  Fifty-two  urison- 
were  taken,  with  sixty  horses  and  a  number  of  cattle.  The 
were  burned,  with  a  great  quantity  of  forage,  and  a  retreat 
commenced.  But  the  British  posts  were  thoroughly  alarmed 
along  the  lines,  and  a  large  force  was  went  nut  from  forts  Wash- 
ton  and  Independence  to  intercept  Col.  Hull's  detachment,  which 
then  four  miles  in  the  rear  of  the  British  army,  had  marched

ten  miles  to  march  under  6re  before  they  could  reach  the  cover- 
party  under  Gen.  Parsons,  and  their  situation  was  critical, 
attacks  on  the  flanks  aud  rear  became  so  severe  that  Col. 
•elected  about  two  hundred  of  his  best  men  for  a  rear  guard, 
i  which  he  himself  took  command,  while  he  sent  forward  Major 
Maxwell,  his  second  in  command,  with  the  main  body  and  the  pri- 
horses  and  cattle.  In  this  way  the  wearied  troops  fought 
tWir  way  against  constantly  increasing  enemies,  until  they  reached 
troops  under  Gen.  Parsons,  about  1500  strong,  when  the  enemy 
The  situation,  however,  was  still  so  dangerous  that  Gen. 
>ns  continued  his  march  till  midnight,  under  a  heavy  storm  of 
Mr  and  rain,  to  the  border  of  Connecticut.  For  his  conduct  in 
affair,  Lt.  Col.  Hull  and  his  troops  received  the  thanks  of  Gen. 
Washington  in  general  orders,  and  Col.  Hull  also  received  the 
I  tkaaka  of  Congress.  Col.  Hull  having  now  served  six  years,  ob- 
tained F  absence,  his  troops  being  now  in  winter  quarters, 
la  February,  1781,  he  was  permitted  to  pass  the  rest  of  the  winter 
in  Boston,  and  was  married  to  the  daughter  of  the  Hon.  Abraham 
Fuller  of  Newton. 

In  July.  1781,  the  French  array,  under  the  Count  dc  Rochain- 
beau,  arrived  in  the  western  part  of  Connecticut,  on  its  way  to  join 
Washington  at  Pecktdcill.  and  Col.  Hull  was  sent  by  the  Commandcr- 
b-chief  to  the  Count  at  Bedford  to  arrange  for  a  joint  attack  on  the 
Briti«i  k.     A  demonstration  was  made  by  Gen.  Lincoln 

oo  the  one  side,  and  the  Duke  de  Lauzun,  with  a  body  of  French 
the  other  :  Col.  Hull  acting  as  aid  to  the  Duke  by  request 
sf  the  Count  de  Rochambeau.  It  was  unsuccessful,  and  the  theatre 
of  the  war  wits  changed  from  the  North  to  the  South,  by  the  deter- 
mination of  the  Count  de  Grasse  to  sail  for  the  Chesapeake  instead 
of  Sandy  Hook.  Gen.  Washington,  with  the  main  army,  went 
•oath,  and  Gen.  Heath  was  left  in  the  Highlands  with  twenty  regi- 
ments, to  one  of  which  Col.  Hull  was  attached,  and  was  appointed 
Adjutant  and  Inspector  General  of  the  Army  in  the  Highlands,  and 
duties  he  performed  until  the  summer  of  1788,  when  the 
urn  of  Washington  from  the  capture  of  Cornwallis  and  the

mandci ,  to  hear  his  approving  words  ;    to  gather,  for  the 
around  his  beloved  person,  was  a  full  reward  for  onr  long 
toil." 

Before  Washington  retired  from  command,  be  was  authorized 
Congress  to  disband  the  army,  excepting  one  regiment,  and  a  cor 
of  artillery.      Gen.  Heath  v  mtcd  to  command  the  regit 

with  Lieut.  Col.  Hull  as  second  officer. 

Previous  to  disbanding  the  army,  the  Society  of  the  Ci 
wns  formed  by  the  officers,  with  Qen.  Washington  as  ft 
Col.  Hull  was  one  of  its  founders. 

A  year  had  passed  since  the  peace,  and   the  frontier  poets 
Niagara,  Detroit,  Macinac,  etc.,   were  still  held  by  the   R 
violation  of  the  treaty.      Col.  Hull  was  ordered  to  go  to  Quebec  i 
make  a  formal  demand   for  the  surrender  of  these  posts.      He 
politely  received  by  Haldimand,  the  Governor  General,  •. 
ever,  declined  to  accede  to  the  demand,  having   I 
to  that  effect.     Nor  were  these  posts  surrendered  until  i 
treaty  in  1794. 

Col.    Hull's  regiment  being  disbanded   in    178fi,  he   retired 
the  army,  an  I  commenced  the  practice  of  the  law  in  Newton, 
chusctts.      He  lived  for  some  years  in  a  house  nt  An 
since  occupied  by  the  Coffin  family,  and  afterwards  he  budt  a 
briek  hoii.se  in  that  village,  which  now  form*  part  of  the   NoM 

A  family  of  one  son  and  seven  daughters  grew  up 
him;  the  latter  being  D  to  husbands  in  various  parts  of 

country,  from  Georgia  to  Maine. 

i    .1.    Hull   belonged   to  the   Republican    or   Jeffersorden 
ed  to  which  was  the  Hamiltonians  or  Federalists.      Bui  he

numerous  among  the  Federalists  as  among  the  Kepublieai

ferred  absolute  partisans  like  Dearborn  and  Fustic.

out  a  force  of  4,000  men  to  suppress  it,  (Jen.  Lincoln  was  placed 
in  command,  with  Colonels  Rufus  Putnam  and  William  Hull  com- 
manding the  right  and  left  wings  of  the  army.  By  a  forced  mwofa

insurgents  in  their  camp  at  l'elham,  nnd  dispersed  them,  taking  one 
hundred  prisoners,  hut  with  no  loss  of  life.  Fourteen  of  the  leaders 
Were  convicted  of  high  treason,  hut  afterwards  pardoned  by  the 
nor. 

tThe   poverty   and   distress   following    the   war   produced   many 
lemes  for  relief,  among  them  a  demand  for  more  money  ;  and  there 
I  ■■■!■  mines  in  operation,  the  rail  was  for  a  large  emi 
of  paper.     The  farmers  of  Newton,  where  Col.  Hull  lived,  were  iu- 
1  to  elect  to  the  Legislature  one  of  these  paper  money  schemers, 
but  the   wisei  of  the    town   secured  a   vote  instructing  the 

delegate,  and  Col.  Hull  was  appointed  to  draw  up  the  instructions, 
•how  that  his  views  of  finance  were  sound  j    viz.    '  Long  ex- 
riencc  has  established  the  truth  of  this  position,  thai    money  can- 
>ii  any  place,  be  too  plenty  or  too  scarce,  but  in  commercial 
itries  must  bear  the  same  proportion  to  the  property  at  market, 
such  relief  in  paper  money  would  be  political  empiricism,  founded 
fraud,  which  would  involve  individuals  in  ruin,  and  eventually 
our  country.      A  paper  bill  can  be  of  no  value,   but  as  it 
its  specie. — gold  and  silver  being  gcnernl  in  their  credit, — 
lly  forsake  ua."     All  of  which  is  as  true  in   1692  as  it  was 
1792.     The  instructions  closed  by  directing  the  delegate  "to  use 
endeavors  that  a  sacred  regard  should  bu  had  for  public  faith, 
ight  of  both  debtor  and  creditor;  and  that  agriculture  and 
iut:«eturing  be  encouraged."     It  iB  creditable  to  the  good  BOOM 
'the  people  of  Newton  that  they  were  willing  to  reverse  their  policy 

accept  their  instructions  by  a  large  majority. 

\\  tun  the  officers  and  soldiers  of  Massachusetts  in  17112  petitioned 

Bgress  for  their  arrears  of  pay,  Col.  Hull  went  to  Philadelphia  to 

and  enforce  the  petition  ;  hut  it.  was  neglected  by  Congress. 

In  January,  17'.»3.  Col.  Hull  was  sent  to  Quebec  as  n  OommJa- 

oner  to  arrange  a  treaty  with  the  North-western  Indians,  through 

an  Government,  but  the  British  policy  was  always  to  keep 

Hans  in  a  state  of  hostility  to  the  United  States,   and   Ool. 

lull  could  get  nothing  but  fair  words.     Wayne's  complete  victory, 

rer,  about  this  time  broke  the  power  of  the  Indians,  and  they 

glad  to  make  peace. 

About  the  year  1787  Col.  Hull  received  into  his  family  his  nephew 

Hull,  son  of  his  brother  Joseph,  then  a  boy  of  twelve  years 

He  sent  him  to  school  aud  wished  to  send  him  to  college,  but 

inclination  of  the  boy  for  a  sailor's  life  was  so  strong,  that  a 

was  found  for  him  as  cabin  boy,  on  board  a  ship  commanded 

i id  of  his  uncle.     Isaac  worked  his  way  up  to  the  command 

a  ship  at  the  age  of  21,  and  in  1798  he  entered  the  navy  as  a

lieutenant.       His  great  nautical  utilities  brought  rapid 

and  at  the  op  4  the  war  of  1812  he  astonished  the  world 

the  capture,  in  the  frigate  "Constitution,"  of  the   Brit 

"  Gui-rrifrv,*' — this    beginning  a  course   of    naval    victories, 

raised  the  United  Sutes  to  the  rank  of  a  formidable  naval  power. 

The  winter  of   1798  was  Spent  by  Col.  Hull    in    Loudon, 
spring  in  Paris.      There  he  visii-d    tbe    Legielatjre  Aasembk. 
witnessed  some  of  the  scenes  of  the  first  luv-luuon. 

Soon  after  his  return.  Col.  Hull  was  appointed  Judge  of  the1 
of  Common  Pleas  for  Middlesex  County.      He  was  elected  to 
Legislature,  and  afterwards  to  the  State  Senate  for  many  years, 
was  a  member  of  the  Council.     lie  was  a  commander  of  the  Ancie 
and  Honorable  Artillery  Company  of  Boston,  and  Grand  Ms 
a  Masonic  Lodge.      In  1798  he  was  elected  Major   General   of 
Third  Division  of  the  Massachusetts  Militia,  which  office  he 
until  his  resignation  in  1805.      Under  his  care  the  Division 
one  of  the  best  appointed  and  disciplined  military  bodies  in  th< 
These  honors  conferred  by  Federalist  constituency,    while    Willii 
Hull  was  a  JefFcrsonian  republican,  showed  personal  popularity 
the  esteem  of   his  fellow  citizens. 

In  October,  1798,  (Jen.  Hull,  then  in  command  of  the  3d  Divisio 
WfOtt   for  himself,    his  officers  and  men,   an  address  to    I 
John  Adams,  at  his  residence  in  Quincy,  offering  their  services 
the  QffMnuMBt|  if  necessary;  and  the  President  replied  with 
I'lin    all  on  the  patriotism,  fine  appearance  and  discipline  of 
Division. 

A  descendant  of  John  Adams,  in  a  recent  history  of  the  admit 
trution  of  James  Madison,  commenting  on  the  ap|H>iulmi:nt 
general  officers  in  the  War  of  1812,  asserts  that  William  I 
DOreC  commanded  a  regiment  in  the  face  of  the   enemy,  and   h 

inion  that  if  thoae  officers  had  been  appointed  by  tin-  Btt 
Andrew  Jackson  would  have  lakeu  the  place  of  James  Wilkitut) 
and  William  Hull  would  not  have  received  an  appointment  fro 
Massachusetts.     The  first  statement  is  shown   by  the  record  to 
inCOrre  t;    William  Hull  having  commanded  the   Mh    Mast 
Regiment  as  a  rear  guard  in  Schus  lei's  retreat  before  Gen.  Burgoyo* 
in  the  battle   of  Monmouth,    on    the   lines   near    New    York    in   tl; 
winter  of  1779,  and  with  other  troops  at  the  capture  of  Stony  Poit 
besides  many  other  important  detached  commands. 

Concerning  that  writer's  opinion  ns  to  what  Massachusetts  wc 
have  done  in  appointing  a  general,  the  record  shows  that  William  Ha 
was  elected  to  the  same  offices,  civil  and  military,  to  which  Tennc 
elected    Andrew    Jackson ;    and    by    that    writer's    own    rcasoi 
Massachusetts    might    have    appointed    William    Hull    a    Brigud 
Gem  Madison  did. 

In  1805  William  Hull  was  appointed  by  Jefferson  Governor

ritory  iru  occupied  by  various  tribes  of  Indians,  mostly  in  British 

ly,  and  hostile  to  the  United  States.     The  efforts  of  Governor 

[nil  wore  to  civilize  these  people,  to  gradually  extinguish  their  land 

titles,  and  to  convert  them  into  citizens.     When  he  removed 

his  family  to  Detroit,  his  route  was  by  way  of  the  Mohawk  river 

and  Oswego,  up  Lake  Ontario  in  a  boat  to  Buffalo,  and  thence  to 

it  iu  a  schooner  which  made  occasional  trips   between  those 

villages.      Being  in    Buffalo  in    1800,    he  writes  to  his  friends   in 

Boston  that  he  shall  travel  from   Buffalo  to  Boston   with  his  own 

horse*,  and  expects  to  do  it  in  three  weeks  time.     Such   was  the 

State  of  New  York  at  that  time.      Shortly   More    the    arrival    of 

>r  Hull  at  Detroit,  that  village  had  been  nearly  destroyed 

by  fire,  and  wae  rebuilt  and  reconstructed  under  his  direction.      He 

built  a  large  brick  house  for  himself  at  the  corner  of  Griswold  and 

.iter  Streets  in  1*06.     In  1840  it  was  used  as  a  hotel,  and  called 

Mansion  House."     William  Hull  wae  the  first  Governor  of 

lite  territory,  and  it  became  his  duty  to  organize  it,   iu  the  face  of 

many  difficulties  and  opposing  interests  among  the  different  races  of 

people  who  inhabited  the  territory. 

He  appears  to  have  been  generally  popular  there,  and  was  reap- 
pointed by  Mr.  Jefferson,  showing  that  at  least  his  proceedings 
were  approved  at  Washington.

Communicated  by  Copt.  Cbaules  Hbbvet  Townshejcd,  of  Rarnham,  New  Haren,  I 

Tue  following  paper  is  a  portion  of  an  article  which  was  prepared 

the  author,  apropos  of  the  approach  of  Columbus  day,  and    was  publis' 

in  thu  AVw  Haven  Journal  and   Courier,  of  Jan.   29th,  1891,  relative 

Columbus  and  how  this  country  came  to  be  named  America  instead 

ring  a  name  in  honor  of  the  great  discoverer. 

Brief  mention  will  be  made  regarding  the  original  or  native  name  of 
continent  which  it  bore  before  the  Columbian  discovery,  and  point  out  lit 
by  u  combination  of  circumstances,  the  whole  world  has  beeu  led  into 
errur  that  America  was  named  for  Vesputius,  a  Florentine  map-maker,  rct 
enlightened  Europe,  on  the  discoveries  of  Columbus. 

Am-ar-ca  is  the  native  name  of  the  laud  which  Christopher  < 
red  in  1498  near  the  mouth  of  the  Orinoco  river  ou  the  north 
of  the  South  American  continent,  while  making  his  third  voyage  wesU

de  Humboldt  tells  os  that  the  first  settlement  of  Spaniards 

land  was  at  a  place  called   Amaraca-panua,  and  on  a  map 

:    I  ho  discoveries  and  explorations  of  -Columbus  on  the  coast  of 

i  ad  a  from  the  Dragon's  Mouth  (one  of  the  approaches  to  the  Ray  of 

k)  between  the  island  of  Trinidad  and  the  coast  of  South  America  and 

of  the  Orinoco  river  appears  the  nume  Maraco-pnnnn.  or  properly 

>anna.     This  name  Amarca  was  adopted  by  the  Spaniards  for  the 

»try,  and  so  laid  down  on  their  charts  and  publications  of  that  date, 

re  publicity  concerning  this  native  name  and  by   which  later  the 

reatern   continent  became  known  to  Europeans   by   the  national 

iU  chief  nation. 

i  name  Amarca  is  in  this  form :  vie.,  Am-ar-ca.     The  root-ar  is  in  three 

:  ar,  primary;  er.  secondary;    aud  or,  a  tertiary  state;  so  that   1 1 1 » - 

Am-ar-ca  and  America  are  identical. 

i  sacred  book  of  the  Peruvians  shows  that  Amarca  or  America  was 
national  name  of  their  country.      This  has  been  proved    by   tra- 
ehart  makers,  who  show  that  early  Smith  Aulikmiis  adopted  ;; 
of  adding  prefixes  to  the  national  name  in  designating  the  most  im- 
-.  such  as    Cundin-Aiuarca,  Cay-Amarca,    Pult^Amarca,   Yan- 
Laoarca.  Ang-Amarcaand  Vin- Amarca,  and  their  capital  was  called  Amarca; 
to  give  here  in   way  of   an   illustration   a  parallel    we  will   say   North 
East  Haven.  West  Haven,  etc.,  etc. 

this  time,  A.  D.  l&OO,  the  name  of  Amarca  was  well  known   in 

and  every  year  new  ffnadittOM  f»r  exploration   and   trade  were 

it.  a»  history  abundantly   proves,  viz.,  those  of   Nino  and    Piuzun, 

companions  of  C'oluinlius;  Lepe  1501,  Guerea  1502,  etc,  etc.     The 

itai  of  the  uew  country,  Amarca,  was  burned  by   the  Sjwuiinril   Alvardo 

shown  the  name  America  to  have  been  of  native  origin,  it  tiatu- 
>ws  that  an  explanation  should  be  sought  as  to  why  the  great  error 
it  has  tak.  to  explain  was  made  by  early   historians  and 

broadcast  to  the  world;  why  the  nickname  Amerigo  for  Alberticus 
itias,  a  Florentine  naval  astrouomer,  should  have  been  thus  misapplied, 
not  eveu  a  mariner.       He   was   a  man   of  business   who,    in 
W9,  aud  the  year  following  the  Columbian  discovery  of  the  Aiueri- 
"  lent,  accompanied  the  Ojeda  expedition  as  a  passenger  with  the 
:t  in  view  to  collect  materials  for  his  new  books  and  charts,  which  later 
i  market  and  sale  iu  the  countries  of   Europe,  and  as  theru  were 
Veapucci  at  this  date  following  the  same  calling,  he  was  distinguished 
lb*  others  (who  were  his  relations)  ou  account  of  this  voyage  by  thu 
oi  the  uew  country  of  which  he  wrote,  aud  was  thus  known   to 
by  it>  native  name,  Amarca. 

the  custom  at  that  period  to  give  meu  who  bad  accomplished  re- 
dved*  an  additional  cognomen,  as  iu  our  day  General  Gordon.

Columbus  Dny. 


[J 


tinn,  the  cognomen  of  "Amerigo"  Vespucci.     Early  in  the  sixteenth 
turv  (A.  1>.  1500)  the  duke  of  Lorraine  gave  to  the  famous  monastery 
St.  Dee,  where  the  learned  monk,   Waltze   Muller.   was  the   principal, 
printing  press;  and  the  publications  of  Vespucci  regarding  the  discovery  > 
the  uevr  country  beiug  at  that  time  new,  these  monks,  wishing  to  show 
wonders  of  printing,  issued  on  April  2C,  1507,  as  their   first  work,  a  lit 
book  (four  pages)  aud  with  it  the  Vespucci  map  of  the  then  supposed  wort 
with  the  new  country  added  thereto. 

Lambert  says  in  tracing  the  new-found-lund  they  (the  monks)  wer 
guided  by  the  published  letters  of  Vesputius,  and  in  the  preface  of  the  wor 
it  was  suggested  that  the  western  continent  he  named  Amerigo,  after 
man  who.  they  added,  had  discovered  it.  They  did  not  know  that  Ve 
putius  himself  had  taken  the  name  Amerigo  (Italian)  from  Am  area, 
native  uaiuu  of  the  country  which  he  had  visited  and  of  which  he 
wrilteu. 

About  A.  D.  1512,  Mullur,  finding  out  his  error,  issued  a  new  mi 
the  new  discoveries,  and  without  mentioning  his  error  wrote  on  it, 
laud  with  the  adjacent  isles  was  found  hy  Columbus,  an  officer  in  comi 
for  the  king  of  Castile."     Hereafter  all  the  new  maps  seem  to  have  copU 
this  uative  name  of  the  new  country,  Amerigo,  but  spelling  it  America, 
the  name  was  generally  adopted  hy  the  whole  world,  and  no  one  seems 
have  corrected  the  wrong  impression  that  had  gone  out  broadcast  throng 
the  medium  of  thin,  at  the  lime,  Heemingly  insignificant  fa  I 

I  will  uot  repeal  tin-  voyages  of  die  Northmen  to  Vineland  (New  England 
ceuturies  before   Columbus's  voyages,   1492-1502,   when    he  explored  tl 
north  and  west  shon-s  of  tin-    Carribean  sea,  and   unknown  to  hit 
discovered  a  continent,  supposing  it,  on  account  of  error  regarding  the  lh( 
unknown  circumference  of  the  world,  to  be  contiguous   to   Cathay   on 
eastern  shores  of  Asia  Minor.     Nor  will  I  enlarge  at  length  on  tli. 
of  the  voyage  of  Columbus  and  his  contemporaries,  with  which  all 
familiar,  but  will  oidy  make  brief  mention  of  those  navigator*  and 
exploits,  as  their  names  are  required  to  fill  up  and  connect  history,  and 
they  were  known  factors  in  stimulating  the  nations  of  western  Europe 
combined  efforts  in  promoting  the  development  aud  settlement  of  a  nei

I'nurtiim  Meridenale  of  the  nations  of  the  east  was  drawn  through 
most  western  of  the  Canary  Inlands.  Some  sailors  and  geographers,

Columbus  Day.

Columbus,  in   this  letter  on  his  voyage  to  Iceland,  written  fifteen 
before  his  discovery  of  America,  an  abstract  of  whirl)  his  son  gives, 
"In  the  year  1477,  in  February,  I  navigated  100  leagues  beyond 
the  southern  part  of  which  is  73  degrees  distant  hevoi.d  the  equator. 
63  degrees  as  some  pretend,  neither  situated  within  the  line  which  i Ti- 
the west  of  Ptolemy,  but  is  much  more  westerly."     Seneca  (CI  B 
transported  with  a  rapture,  with  a  poetical   fury  and  divination,  sung 
ling  of  it  in  his  Media: 

In  after  age  the  time  shall  come 
In  which  the  all-devouring  foam 
Shall  lose  Its  proper  bound  and  shew 
Ann  nent  of  view; 

>"or  froxen  Thulc  shall  wo  see, 
The  utmost  parts  of  the  earth  to  be. 

But  it  in  folly  to  think  that  any  one  knew  of  the  unknown  continent  in 
time  of  Seneca.  Histori&mt  tell  u»  that  Thule.  was  the  name  generally 
ren  by  the  ancients  to  the  must  northerly  part  of  Kiirope  known  to  them, 
ling  to  Pliny,  an  i.-laml  in  l lie  northern  seas.  But  most  H 
j>hers  identify  Thule  wiih  Iceland. 
be  learned  now  believe  that  Columbus  actually  visited  Greenland  and 
that  be  was  unaware  that  it  was  a  part  of  a  uew  world,  which  he  afterward 
discovered  with  so  much  courage  and  good  fortune;  and  as  we  have  positive 
evidence  from  Columbus's  own  pen  of  his  having  voyaged  there,  it  is  fair 
presume  that  at  Iceland  be  first  conceived  the  scheme  of  not  following 
circuitous  track  of  the  northerners  via  Iceland  aud  Greenland  to  the 
ithwest,  but  of  sailing  directly  westward  from  Spain  to  Cathay  (Japan 
id  China)  of  Marco  Polo,  who  flourished  centuries  before — A.  D.  1250 
1324.

when  he  coasted  from  Wilmington.  North  Carolina,  to  Nova  Scotiu,

3.  Mart*  Snow  (Nicholaf),  born  about  1630.  probably  in   Plyr 

married  about  ll3.r>0  Thomas  Paine,  who  came  from  B 
in  I  022,  and  was  then  aged  "  10  or  12,"  and  who  died  in  East 
where  his  children  were  born.  Mr.  Josiah  Pail 
Snow,  who  married  Thomas  Paine,  I  think  was  among  the  eldest  i 
Nicholas  Snow's  children.  She  was  doubtless  a  very  re« 
woman.  Her  son  John,  to  whom  we  are  indebted  for 
respecting  her,  was  lavish  in  his  praise  of  her.  Her  seven  sonsi 
were  men  of  character,  and  highly  respected  in  towns  in  which 
settled.     Four  of  the  grandsons  were  rain;  «      •      •     -  It 

qoite  strange  that  Nicholas  Snow  did   not   give  the  name*  of 
daughters  in  hii  will.      It  could  not  have  been  for  his  dislike  of  the 
for  those  whose  history  has  reached  our  time  appear  to   have  U 
women  of  the  first  order.     Mary  (Snow)   Paine  died  in    I

THE  ORIGIN  AND  ANCESTRY  OF  REV.  THOMAS 

HOOKER. 

ft  paper  prepared  by  Commander  Edwibd  Hookbr,  U.S.N.,  and  read  before  the 
Hooker  gathering,  Auguxt,  1892. 

From  whence  came  Rev.  Tliomus  Hooker?     Of  the  origin  an<l 
"f  Hev.    Thomas  Hooker,   we  have  no  knowledge   what- 
beyond  the  probability  that  Iuh  father's  name  was  Thomas,  and 
that  bis  father  had  a  brother  named  John. 

Jt  has  been  asserted  that  Mr.  Hooker  was  born  at  Marfield, 
Leicestershire.  England,  but  no  authority  is  given  for  this  assertion, 
and  the  most  exhaustive  searches  having  utterly  failed  to  produce

any  evidence  corroborative  of  this  assertion,  the  conclusion  was 
reached  many  years  agu  that  the  assertion  was  incorrect,  while  the 
inquiries  made  seem  to  show  conclusively  that  Kcv.  Thomas  Hooker 
had  nothing  whatever  to  do  with  Marficld. 

While  the  Marfield  story  is  swept  away,  a  mere  myth  of  the  past, 
no  evidence  has  as  yet  beeu  brought  to  light  which  give*  any  pc 
tive  Information  as  to  the  region  from  which  Mr.  Hooker  came  or 
the  family  to  which  he  belonged,  and,  in  the  absence  of  all  positn 
information  regarding  this  matter,  the  only  course  to  pursue  is 
collate  such  suggestive  data  as  ean  be  found,  and  present  it  in 
concise  form  as  possible,  that  those  who  wish  may  deduce  from  it 
(Ml  own  conclusions. 

From  a  period  ante-dating  the  reign  of  King  Henry  VIII.  and 
a  time  long  after  the  "Restoration,"  there  was  in  the  South  of  Ei 
land  a  noted  family  of  Hookers.  They  were  possessed  of  wealth, 
rank  and  social  position,  and  they  intermarried  with  England's  proti 
old  lauiilii-  They  were  scholars,  disputants  and  authors  whe 
books,  written  three  hundred  years  ago,  are  today  found  as  vali 
books  of  reference  in  the  larger  libraries. 

From  some  points  in  these  books  we  learn  that  while  they 
loyal  to  their  King  and  undoubtedly   recognized  the  divine  authorit 
of  the  kingly  office,  they  gave  enreful  thought  to  sociological  matt 
and  entertained   what  may  be  considered  as  at  that  time  advanc 
eociologic  ideas,  as, — that  the  people  were  the  proper  source 
power ;  that  society  was  constituted  for  the  greatest  good  to 
greatest  number;  tliat  all  men  were  erpial  before  the  Jaw. 

Some  time  before  Rev.  Thomas  Hooker  was  born  there  was  pro- 
duced a  written  constitution  for  governmental  purposes,  and  tli 
constitution  must  have  been  a  revelation  to  these  liberul-miik 
students  of  sociology  in  the  south  of  England,  for  it  embodied  the 
ideas  which  they  entertained.  It  elucidated  the  theories  which  the 
had  advocated.  It  was  a  solution  of  the  social  problem  to  whic 
they  had,  with  doubtful  success,  devoted  careful  thought  aud  labori- 
ous study,  and  there  can  be  no  doubt,  even  If  no  evidence  existed 
it,  that  this  embodiment  of  their  social  ideas  gave  great  satisfa 
to  those  liberal  sociologists  and  was  carefully  observed  by  them. 

This  old  constitutional  government  continued  until  long  after  th 
Connecticut  Colony  had  been  founded,  and  their  cannot  be  any  que 
tion  that  Thomas  Hooker  and  the  other  founders  of  Connecticu 
Colony  were  thoroughly  acquainted  with  this  older  constitution  and 
the  success  attending  its  working,  and  doubtless  they  had  this  clear!) 
in  mind  when  they  adopted  the  Connecticut  form  of  government! 
nearly  upon  the  basis  of  this  older  constitution,  if  indeed  they 
not  have  a  copy  of  that  older  constitution  before  them  when  the! 
worked  out  their  social  problems  and  established  their  government 
forms  and  methods. 

Here  then  we  have  a  noted  family  of  Hookers,  possessing

Mine  characteristics  for  which  Rev.   Thomas    Hooker  wan  noted, 

tertuining  the  same  sociologic  ideas  which  be  entertained  and  to 

force  in   the  Colony  of  Connecticut.     And  around 

family  of  Hooker*  we  find  towns,  tillages,  and  parishes,  bearing 

names  which  are  familiar  to  us  as  names  of  Connecticut  town*.     And 

i  too  were   found  families   having    Mum  which   we  find  in  Mr. 

Hooker's  company,  and  among  the  founders  of  Connecticut. 

In    tide  family  of  Hookers  we  find   that  the  stock  names  wen; 

ohn,  Thomas,  Richard,  Roger,  Dorothy,  Joanna,  Mary — the  very 

.roes  we  find  in  Thomas  Hooker's  family. 

There  is  little  question   that    Rev.    Thomas    Hooker's  father  was 

Darned  Thomas,  and  in   that   family  of    Hookers  wc  find  a  Thomas 

•r,  horn  about  the  middle  of  the  sixteenth  century,  and  who 

as  probably    between   thirty  and    forty  yean  of  age    when  Iter. 

Thomas  Hooker  was  horn. 

The  Kawson  family,  in  seeking  their  pedigree,  find  as  one  of  their 
ancestors,  John   Hooker,   a   brother  of  the    father  of  Rev.  Thomas 
looker.     And  in  this  south  of  England  family  of  Hookers  we  find 
san  John,  brother  of  the  Thomas  before  mentioned. 

intimate  personal  friendship  between  Thomas  Hooker  and 
ohn  Pym  can  scarcely  be  questioned.  They  were  of  the  same  age, 
tertained  the  same  sociologic  views,  and  advocated  the  same 
eoriea  and  the  same  reform**  And  many  years  ago  the  assertion 
IB  made  that  Annu  Hooker,  the  wife  of  John  Pym,  was  a  s.Btcr  of 
fv.  Thomas  Hooker,  and  the  assertion  was  also  made  that  Rev. 
Thomas  Hooker's  wife  was  a  sister  of  John  Pym. 

am  Hooker,  the  wife  of  John  Pym,  however,  was  the  daughter 
F  John  Hooker,  and  therefore  could  not  be  the  sister  of  Rev. 
bo  mas  nooker,  whose  father  was  named  Thomas ;  hut  she  may 
■ve  been  a  daughter  of  thnt  John  Hooker  who  was  a  brother  of 
ev.  Thomas  Hooker's  father,  and  thus  have  been  an  own  cousin  to 
«▼.  Thomas  Hooker.  Of  that,  however,  we  have  no  positive  in- 
formation. 

have  no  evidence  thnt  assures  us  that  the  wife  of  Rev.  Thomas 
Hooker  was  the  sister  of  John  Pym ;  but  in  view  of  the  relations 
existing  between  the  two  men,  and  in  the  utter  absence  of  all  infor- 
mation as  to  who  the  wife  of  Rev.  Thomas  Hooker  was,  together 
it  It  the  fact  that  John  Pym's  wife  was  a  Hooker,  and  the  possibility 
that  the  may  have  been  a  cousin  of  Rev.  Thomas  Hooker,  we  may 
wmablv  consider  it  at  least  a  possibility  that  Rov.  Thomas 
Hooker's  wife  was  a  sister  of  John  Pym. 
The  seat  of  the  Pym  family  was  in  the  south  of  England,  and 
not  a  great  distance  from  the  seat  of  this  Hooker  family  ;  and, 
uongh  we  have  no  positive  evidence  upon  the  matter,  we  may.  from 
he  similarity  «>f  characteristics  and  the  community  of  sentiments, 
very  properly  conclude  that  the  two  families  were  well  known  and 
timately  associated  with  each  other,   and  there  is  a  strong  proba-

THE  ORIGIN  OF  CERTAIN  NAMES  ENDING  IN  "MAN 

By  Antm:a  Amoat  Cobma.v,  Esq..  of  Boston,  Mass. 

In  the  thirty-sixth  volume  of  the  REGISTER,  July,  1882,  page  301 
instances  were  adduced,  chiefly  from  Burke's  General  Armory,  etui 
iB|  that  tin-  termination  man  in  certain  surnames  is  a  corruption 

which  is  a  contraction  of  enham,  this  hitter  termination 
the  last  two  syllable*  of  many  place-names  in  England  which 
locally  pronounced  quickly,  with  the  terminal  sound  of  nam. 

Since  offering  those  remarks  for  publication   in  the  Registt.i:, 
have  found  in  Burke  and  elsewhere  several  other  such  instanc 
and  even  proof  that  the  termination.-,  ham  ind  man,  with  the 
lir-t  syllable,  were  sometimes  regarded  by  Heralds  as  synonyuM 
This  is  one  of  the  curiosities  of  nomenclature,  and  was  stranj 
overlooked  by  Mr.   Lower,  and,  I  think,  has  not  been  not 
any  writer  upon  surnames. 

Lower,  at  least  in  one  instance,  esteems  similarity  of  arms 
warrant  for  a    probability  of  common  derivation  of  names 
some  resemblance;  and  this  is  plainly  the  finding  of  Burke. 
in  our  early  records  are  several  instances  of  the  two  termination 
man  and  nam,  used  for  the  same  family  and  even  for  the 
individual.      It  may  therefore  I u    Iiojh.n1  that  the  present  a: 
be  found  of  sufficient  genealogical  interest  to  be  deemed  worthy 
place  in  the  Register. 

In  his  "  English  Surnames  "  Lower  says  "  Buckmaster,  Buckmat 
and  others,  "were  probably  servants  to  the  'Parker,'  and  had 
enre  of  herds  of  venison."     It  is  possible  that  such  an  oc 
may  have  been  the  origin  of  the  name  of  Buckman  in  some  instanc 
— but  we  have  the  name  of  Bucknam  in  New  England ;  and  Mr. 
Savage  mentions  "  Joaes  Bucknam  m.  in  1673,"  and  in  vol.  xnviii. 


1  vi.%.  Origin  of  Certain  Barnes  ending  in  *'  man.' 


203 


of  the  ICk-iistku,  in  the  "Soldiers  in  King  Philip's  War,"  the  Rev. 
Mr.  Bodge  gives  the  name  of  Joscs  Buckman  in  L6T€ — evidently 
time  individual  named  in  Savage,  Buckn/rm ;  and  in  vol.  xli. 
of  the  Keoistkk,  Kev.  Mr.  Bodge  speaks  of  "Buckman  (or  Buck- 
nam)."  Buckenham  is  a  pariah  in  Norfolk,  Eng.,  and  it  is  highly 
probable  that  that  place  gave  its  name  to  a  family,  descendants  of 
which  contracted  it  to  Bucknam,  sometimes  written  Buckni.-m. 

Burke  gives  "Churtmanur  Chartnam,"  "Chippenham  orChipmnn," 
and  C<>denliam,  Codham  and  Cod  nam,  which  hitter  three  have  Btl 
lilaxity  in  arms,  and  we  have  Codnam  and  C<xlman  for  the  same 
is  in  early  Nt  u  England  records.  Other  instance  of  the 
nf  Codnara  titan  those  noted  by  me  in  vol.  xxxvi.  have  been 
found  by  Mr.  Ogden  Codman,  Jr.,  Codnam  tyyetring  more  fre- 
quently than  Codman. 

In  bit  "  English  Surnames  "  Lower  tays,  "from  Dean  came  Den- 
man."     Perhaps  so,  directly,  in  BOOM  instances,   but  also  indirectly 
i.'h  Den  ham  ; — for  Burke  gives  "Den  man  or  Dtt  j   and 

die  latter  form  is  more  likely  to  M  ■  OUmipilon  of  Denham  lliuti  of 
Demuan,  and  a  Den  man  bears  the  precise  arms  of  a  Deuham  ;— ar. 
afeair.  between  three  lioni  heads  eraned  gu. 

Burke  gives  Dowman  and  also  Downam,  both  of  Yorkshire,  and 
with  arms  nearly  similar.  Downam  must  have  been  originally 
Dowuham — analagous  to  Denhnm  and  Glenham — and  not  Dowman  ; 
lor  what  occupation  or  residential  locality  could  give  rise  to  the  latter 
name?  Downham,  however,  is  found  bearing  different  arms,  bat 
this  is  not  proof  that  Downam  was  not  originally  Downham  ;  while 
there  is  every  probability  that  Dowman,  being  found  in  the  same 
county  with  Downam,  and  bearing  nearly  the  same  arms,  has  the 
lame  descent. 

"  Dymon  or  Dyman"  bears  arms  very  similar  to  two  families  of 
Dynham. 

"  Elyman  or  Ellingham  "  is  one  of  the  many  curious  instances  in 
the  "General  Anaorv,"  where  very  different  forme  of  name — in  fact 
different  names — arc  apparently  assigned  to  the  same  family ; — 
though  the  cause  of  mutation  is  here  very  evidently  traceable  through 
the  pronunciation  of  the  older  form,  with  the  g  and  h  silent,  as  El- 
linam,  and  Lite  confusion  of  that  with  Elliman  sometimes  written 
Ellyman  or  Elyman.  Other  variations  from  the  same  original  name 
re  given,  with  some  resemblance  of  arms,  in  Elynam  and  Elvngham. 

iham.  Gleman  or  Glemham"  is  another  curious  instance. 
It  is  worth  noting  here  that  the  London  Notes  and  Queries  of 
Jan.  11.  1890,  gives  a  most  carious  instance  of  the  termination 
man,  wrongly  written,  instead  of  en  It  am  in  a  place-name,  by  an 
illiterate  parson  so  late  as  17'J7.  This  reverend  dolt  wrote  "South 
lofman  *  for  South  Luffenham  ! 

Lyroon  or  Lynam  "  is  found  in  Burke,  and  in  New  England  we 
ive  both  Lyman  and  Lynam.  These  names  unquestionably  de- 
re  their  origin  from  some  place  named  Lyueham  or  Lynham.

of  Mr.  A.  S.  Newman  for  evidence  to  show  the  identity  of 
Neirbem,  Newnhnm  and  Newman,  gives  a  lift  of  tea  instances 
such  evidence,  the  first  of  which  is  sufficient  for  quotation  her.

in-law  of  .vit  William  Mantell,  is  written  ''Newman"  and 
nam  '*  in   )"<•  liuke  of  Purston  Mcde,  quoted  by  Baker. 

Two  Pakemans  and  Pakenhnm  are  found  in  Burke,   each 
ar.  tteo  bars  gu.,  with  other  charges  of  much  resemblance  ;- 
Pakrman    with    nuns    -inular   to    Packam.      "Putman   or   Put 
also.     "  Shipman  or  Shipham"  was  a  grant  of  1581,  and  this 
that  three  hundred  years  ago,  and  more,  these  two  forms  were  col 
sidered  by  Heralds  synonymous,  evident  corruptions  of  the 
original  name.  Sb  on,  Shippenhara  or  Miipcnham — Shipmw| 

being  obtained  through  the  confusion  of  man  and  nam  in  the  con- 
tracted corruption,    Sliipnam,    and    Sliipham    through    the    strange [ 
excision  of  the  middle  syllable  of  the  original  name. 

In  volume  xzxviii.  of  the  Reristf.r,  in  a  note  on  page  442,  under 
a  list  of  names  containing  that  of  Eliah  Tottingham,   Kev. 
Bodge  says,  "'  IUjah  Thatham  of  Oborne'  was  what  the  clerk  modb 
out  of  Elijah  Tattinghom  of  Woburn.     The  name  ap|>ears  elsewhere 
as  Totenham  and  Totman." 

Both  Wadlinm  and  W adman  bear  three  roses  ar.,  though  dif- 
ferently. 

The  arms  of  WaUham  and  Walshmnn  contain  each  "  i 
voided." 

In  the  Calendar  of  Wills,  Court  of  Husting,  London,  Part' 
[i.  713,  appears  "  Waynam  or  Wayman." 

In  volume  xxxix.  of  the  Register,  Mr.  Waters,  in  the  ; 
pedigree,  ha-   "  Francis  Wyrdman  son  of  John  Wyrdman  of  < 
ton  in  co.   Berks."     Burke  does  not  give  Wyrdman,  but  he  doee 
give  "Wirdnam  (Charlton,  co.  Berks.)," — and  as  Mr.  W 
tin;  pedigree,  giving  the  form  Wyrdman,  "is  from  the  V 
Hampshire,  H'  >1."  ibis  is  another  proof  of  heraldic  coi  of  the 

terminations  nam  and  man. 

Finally  we  find  that  Wiseman  (Middlesex),  bearing  precisely  the 
same  arms  as  Wisnam,  may  not  be  descended  from  a  remarkable 
sage;  as  would  probably  have  been  the  opinion  of  Mr.  Lower.

Wolverhampton,  whose  family  I  have  been  able  to  trace  back  as  far  as  ! 
this  has  been  the  easier  because  the  name  Is  rather  a  rare  one,  whereas

of  Urn  in  the  same  parish  register.    Mr.  James  William  Wearer  had  four 
of  whom  I  am  the  youngest.    I  have  been  tempted  to  give  this  bit  of  fa

The  Shakrsfp.4RE  Wills  (ante,  vol.  46,    p.  4J5).— In  the   New 
cu  for  October,  we  And  several  wills  of  more  than  ordinary 
The  wills  of  the  Shakespeare  family,  of  Thomas  Nash  and  Elizabeth  I 
have  been  several  times  printed,  but  attcntiou  should  be  directed  to 
two  points. 

It  will  be  observed  that  Dr.  John  Hall  made  no  attempt  to  dispose  of 
Place"    It  Is  not  meutloned  In  his  will,  and  was  not  his  to  dispose  of.     I 
left  to  his  wife,  as  security  for  her  fulfilling  some  special  obligaii M 

liui.  Thomas  Nash,  who  married  Dr.  Hall's  daughter,  seems  to  ha\ 

Interest,  f«>r  he  coolly  leaves  "  New  Place"  to  his  kinsman  Kdward  Ns 
with  some  other  Items  of  the  Shakespeare  props 

His  widow,  however,  carried  the  matter  Into  court,  and  the  court  i 
her  claim  to  William  Shakespeare's  bequest.     I  caaao  moment  give  I 

necessary  references,  but  by  turning  to  page  438  of  the  October  Raaisro.  i 
one  can  see.  that  after  her  second  marriage.  Dame  Barnard,  who  had  beca  | 
Nash,  was  still  in  possession  of       N,  and  In  h« :i 

ami  the  money  to  be  given  to  the  said  Kdward  Nash,  m  pursuance  of  a  ; 
probably  made  before  the  court 

The  manuscripts  alluded  to  In  Dr.  John  Hall's  will  were  probably 
manuscript*. 

Bom  .  written  in  Latin,  were  obtained   from  hi*  \\i 

named  James  Cooke,  who  was  attached  apparently  to  a  regiment  star 
8tratford-bridge.     He  was  Invited  to  New  Pla.  llsll  in  1642,  to 

Dr    Hall's  boon.     After  a  general  survey,  she  brought  out  some  medical  I 
that  she  wished  to  sell.     Two  of  these  proved  to  be  medical  MSS.  prepared  1 
the  press,  in  Latin,  by  Dr.  Hall  himself. 

translated  and  published  in  1*67.     The  family  o 
peare  and  Dr.  Hall  himself  entertained  the  Puritau  preachers  of  the  time,  i 
would  not  have  been  likely  to  take  interest  In  Shakespeare's  Plays.     It  | 
singular  that  It  has  to  be  so  often  repeated  that  Shakespeare's  maims- 
not  his  own  property.     After  he  retired  t<i  New  Place,  he  is  said  to  hare  I 
ccived  £1000  a  year  from   the   theatres,  and  of  course  this    was  for  play 
original  or  adapted.    Of  none  of  these,  nor  »r  those  already  known,  c< 
have  owued  a  copy.     The  manuscripts  belonged  to  those  who  bought  tfc 
as  they  must  hare  been  copied  hundreds  of  times,  It  is  not  likely  that  any  i 
was  in  existence,  In  his  own  handwriting,  when  the  folio  was  published. 

It  is  not  impossible  that  manuscripts  of  his  sonnets  may  yet  be  found,  i 
tared  Uke  aatographa,  in  hidden  scrap-books.    Shakespeare  value,  i 
His  plays  do  not  seem  to  have  Interested  him  as  much.    He  was  oblig

ill  husbandry,  shall  not  receive  or  intermeddle  with  any  part  of  the

led  in  practice  there.     After  muny  yeare  he  went  to  Gloucester, 

chuaetta,  where  he  died  December  1 1,  1824. 
nomas  K.  Lambert  was  the  seventh  generation  in  descent  from 
■'  Lambert,   an    early    settler   of  Rowley,   Mass.,  who  was 
a  freeman  of  the  colony  of  Massachusetts  Bay,  May  13, 
through  Thomas8  and  wife  Ednah  Northend  ;    Thomas'  and 
i Sarah  ;  Thomas4 ;  Thomas*  and  wife  Apphia  Guge,  and  William, 
re-named,  his  father,  whose  wife  was  Abigail,  daughter  of  Capt. 
lezcr  Kicker,  of  Rollinsford,  New  Hampshire. 
fe  studied  at  the  South  Berwick  and  Exeter  academies,  intending 
loiter  Dartmouth   College,  of  which  institution  his  father  was  a 
te ;  but  receiving  an  appointment  as  a  cadet  in  the  United 
Military  Academy  at  West  Point,  he  exchanged  his  intended 
te  course  for  a  military  education.     Ill  health  compelled  him 
rign  his  cadettfhip.     He  then   began   the  study  of  law  in  the 
of  the  Hon.   Levi  Woodbury,  of  Portsmouth,  N.  H.,  and 
led  with  him  till  the  spring  of  1831,  when  Mr.  Woodbury 
called  by  President  Jackson   to  his  cabinet   as   Secretary   of 
sXavy.     Mr.  I>ambert  finished  his  studies  in  the  office  of  the  Hon.

case.  A  contemporary  says :  '  It  was  Mr.  Lambert's  first  argu- 
ment in  a  court  of  justice,  and  as  such  gave  assurance  of  his  futon 
eminence  as  a  successful  and  eloquent  advocate.'  "* 

After  practising  his  profession  for  a  short  time,  he  studied  theol- 
ogy with  the  Rev.  G.  W.  Olney  of  Maine,  and  became  a  candidate 
for  orders  in  the  Episcopal  Church.  In  1834,  Mr.  Woodbury,  who 
was  then  Secretary  of  the  Navy,  appointed  him  a  chaplain  in  the 
Navy.  In  1836,  he  was  ordained  by  the  Bight  Rev.  Alexander 
Viet e  Griswold,  D.D.,  bishop  of  the  Eastern  Diocese. 

After  his  appointment  in  the  Navy,  he  made  many  voyages  ia 
government  vessels  and  saw  much  of  the  world.  He  served  under 
Commodores  Wads  worth  and  Rousseau  and  Capt.  Wilkinson  in  tin 
frigates  Brandy  wine,  Constitution  and  Columbia.  During  one  of 
his  vacations  he  instituted  the  parish  of  St.  Thomas,  at  Dover, 
N.  H.  In  a  later  and  longer  leave  of  absence  he  officiated  as  rector 
of  Grace  Church,  New  Bedford,  Mass.,  for  about  four  years,  ending 
in  1845.  He  then  resumed  his  chaplaincy  in  the  Navy,  serving  it 
the  Navy  Yard  in  Charlestown.  After  ten  years  of  service  bo 
resigned  the  chaplaincy  and  became  rector  of  St.  John's  Church,  ii 
the  same  city.  Here  he  officiated  for  twenty-eight  years,  resigning 
the  rectorship  in  1884,  when  he  was  nearly  seventy-five  years  old. 
The  later  years  of  his  life  were  passed  in  retirement,  free  from  tte 
cares  of  a  parish.  He  was  a  member  of  the  Standing  Committee  of 
the  diocese  of  Massachusetts,  and  held  the  position  at  his  death. 

Dr.  Lambert  received  the  honorary  degree  of  Master  of  Arte  ■. 
1845  from  Brown  University,  and  the  same  degree  from  Trinitf' 
College  in  1852.  The  degree  of  Doctor  of  Sacred  Theology  wti 
conferred  upon  him  in  1863  by  Columbia  College. 

lie  was  an  honored  member  of  the  Masonic  fraternity.  His  friend, 
the  Hon.  Charles  Levi  Woodbury,  of  Boston,  son  of  the  Hon.  Leri 
Woodbury,  wrote  a  sketch  of  Dr.  Lambert's  life,  which  was  printed 
in  the  Proceedings  of  the  Council  of  Deliberation  of  the  Ancient 
and  Accepted  Scottish  Rite,  June  28,  1892  (pp.  55-8).  Mr. 
Woodbury  sketches  his  career  as  a  Mason  as  follows  : — 

At  the  age  of  twenty-one,  in  1830,  he  was  initiated  in  Libanus  Lodger 
Great  Falls,  N.  II.  In  the  same  year  he  was  made  a  Royal  Arch  BIsmb 
in  Belknap  Chapter,  Dover,  N.  H.  He  received  the  orders  of  Knighthool 
in  De  Witt  Clinton  Commandery,  Knights  Templars,  Portsmouth,  N.  H» 
He  held  various  offices  in  these  organizations,  and  in  1848  was  Chaplain  of 
the  Grand  Lodge  of  New  Hampshire.  Oct.  24,  1849,  he  became  a  meo-

Mr.  Woodbury,  whose  sketch  of  Dr.  Lambert  has  been  quoted, 
famished  al  my  request  the  following  reminiscences  : — 

JJostox.  May  15,  I 
Dear  Sir :  —  When  I    lir-t    knew    Dr.   Lambert,  he   bad    left   West 
and  entered  my  father's  office  as  a  student  at  law  (I  should  say  it 
is  1830);  he  was  a  slender,  bandtonM  blonde,  about  eighteen  yeai 
,  very  fair,  as  I  remember,  and  of  polished  and  graceful  manners  but 
I  do  not  remember  any  very  special    anecdotes  of  aim    then, 
Jb  forty  or  fifty  years  after  be  used  to  tell  in  i  hnmorotu  way  some 
[•boat  me;  but  I  remember  quite  well  talking  often  to  him  about  lift 
I  incidents  at  West  Point.     Later  onward,  when  he  hud  studied  divinity 
lev.  Dr.  Olney,  and  had  received  the  appointment  of  chaplain  in 
navy.  I  ofteti  mot  him  at  my  father* «  house  in  Wellington,  where  he 
a  valued  visitor  and  friend,  and  have  heard  him  describe  the  inril.  m- 
impressioiiR  of  his  voyages  up  the  Mediterranean.     He  had  visited  the 
v  Lend  in  the  party  of   Hon.  Lewis  Cass,  then  minister  of  the  United 
.  who  with  his  family  bed  been  passengers  in  Commodore 
itt's  flagship  to  the  Levant-,  and  hail  left  her  fur  this  excursion.     I  am 
sure  v.  made  the  entire  trip  through  with  them,  fbf 

several  friends    in  the  party,  and  can  not   n  v.    iii  tinguisb  what  I 
ed  from  each. 

■.  Larab«rt  had  been  stationed  on  the  flagship,  but  at  a  late  tune  in  1 1  ■ , 
was  transferred  to  the  schooner  of  the  fleet ;  but  whether  Governor 
were  then  on  the  frigate,  I  do  not  recall.  The  Levant 
not  then  a  thronged  thoroughfare  for  ocean  steamers,  and  he  who  had 
upon  Olympus,  Marathon  and  the  Acropolis,  had  cruised  through 
des  of  Greece,  ami  \v.u\  breathed  the  air  of  Palestine,  or  swung  at 
in  Acre  and  Rhodes,  was  a  Palmer,  a  Hadji,  or  perhaps  a  Crusader

from  the  East,  and  sought  to  gather  more  of  its  sparkle*  from  the  interest-

friends  as  die  Doctor.

Year*  after  this,  when  on  a  furlough  be  had  taken  charge  of  a  parish 
New  Bedford,  I  met  him  there,  thu  same  kind  ami  charming  gentleman 
bad  always  been,  and  ma  I  soon  found  endeared  to  hi*  parish   for  his  Chr 
ian  virtues  and  beloved  for  his  sympathetic  and  social  graces.     Later 
when  he  bad  removed  to  Charlestown,  we  saw  much  more  of  each 
for  we  had  tie*  that  drew  us  closer. 

I  must  not  forego  to  say  that  when  my  father  lay  dying,  wasting  by 
degrees,  at  Portsmouth.  Dr.  Lambert  visited  him  as  a  friend,  admiuii 
what  of  spiritual  aid  tho  mission  of  the  church  is  to  give,  participated 
the  funeral  services,  and  my  mother  and  her  children  gratefully 
the  consolation  which  his  kiudly  and  long  friendship  dicuted  in  our 
tion. 

As  to  his  sorrowing  Masonic  brethren.  I  havu  expressed  on  record 
opinion  of  his  high  character,  talents  and  services;  a  repetition  is  noti 
here.     lie  was  always  good,  faithful  and  loveahle-

('has.  Levi  Woodbubt. 

I  will  supplement  this  with  another  quotation  from  Mr.  W< 
bury'a  sketch : — 

The  intellectual  abilities  of  Dr.  Lambert  were  of  a  high  order,  and 
persuasive  eloquence  was  reinforced  by  choice  gleanings  in  the  wide  fie 
of  observation  that  had  been  spread  before  him  in  his  pilgrimage  of  " 
It  cannot  be  said  that  onr  deceased  friend  was  ambitious  of  fame  or 
His  own  family  connections  with  statesmen  distinguished  in  our  ana 
during  the  last  third  of  a  century,  would  have  opened  avenues  had  he 
ed  to  enter  them;  but  be  sought  no  other  paths  than  those  he  trod, I 
formed  no  aspirations  that  would  bend  him  from  the  choice  his  reason 
his  heart  had  made. 

Another   friend   of   Dr.   Lambert,    Geo.    A.   Gordon,    A. 
Recording    Secretary    of  the    New-England    Historic    Genealogic 
Society,  furnishes  me  with  this  estimate  of  his  character: 

Dr.  Lamlwrt  was  of  a  genial  presence  and  agreeable  manner.     In 
acta  of  huiuhlu  benevolence  ami  unostentatious  piety  he  passed  a  long 
in  which  he  filled  various  important  stations  with   fidelity,  ability,  rectit 
and  uprightness.     Hu  was  beloved  by  his  associates  and  honored  with 
wide  respect  of  every  community  among  whom  he  was  resiib 
ness  and  candor  were  unitod  to  a  spirit  of  military  firmness.     In  defence 
his  conception  of  truth,  he  was  a  tower  of  strength,  yet,  we  think,  he 
not  dispute  high  things  for  mere  victory.     If  his  arguments  failed  of 
viction  from  ungenial  soil,  he  never  attempted  to  break  the  stub!. 

In  1855,  Dr.  Lambert  married  Sirs.  Jane  Stnndish  Colby, 
New  Bedford,  a  daughter  of  Hon.  John  Avery  Parker  and  widow 
the  Hon.  Harrison  G.  O.  Colby,  of  New  Bedford.  Mrs.  Land; 
died  some  years  before  her  husband.  Their  son,  William  Tin 
Lambert,  was  born  in  Charlestown,  January  28,  1856;  and  is 
living  in  Boston.*

Active,  energetic,  with  a  mind  easily  mastering  every  subject  to 
lich  he  devoted  himself,  he  soon  gained  eminence  in  his  profes- 
and  many  young  men  resorted  to  him  for  study.     But  not

and   its   depreciation,   and  the  same  year  he  was  made  adjutant  gi

The  Continental  Congress  recommended  that  a  convention  shot

The  high  price  of  merchandise  and  the  depreciation  of  the  currency, 
by  which  our  army  operations  were  retarded  and  general  di

the  commendation  of  such  men  as  Richard  Henry  Inse  and  Jc 
Langdon.  Ill  health  compelled  his  resignation  in  Nov.  1780. 
June  1781,  however,  he  was  again  appointed  a  delegate  to 
gres»,  but  he  did  not  take  his  seat.  It  may  be  that  he  was 
by  the  long  journey  to  the  seat  of  Congress,  for  lie  wa»  that 
year  a  member  of  the  New  Hampshire  House  of  Representative 
and  also  in  1782  and  1783. 

In  1784  he  was  a  member  of  the  New  Hampshire  Convention  I

After  that  he  held  no  public  office  unless  as  justice  of  the  peace 
quorum,  his  commission  for  which  was  renewed  with  hut  few 
liuiuna  till  1821.  He  was  not  an  old  man,  and  his  mental  and 
physical  powers  had  been  in  no  way  impaired,  hut  he  had  become 
financially  embarassed,  and  the  modern  ease  of  extrication  had  not 
been  invented.  It  seems  strange  at  this  period  of  indiscriminate 
pensions  thnt  one  so  distinguished  for  his  services  should  have  spent 
the  twenty  closing  years  of  his  life  in  Exeter  jail  for  debt.  He  had, 
bowcvi.-r.  what  was  termed  the  "limits  of  the  jail-yard,"  which  al- 
lowed him  free  communication  over  a  large  part  of  the  town,  and  to 
■one  extent  he  practised  hie  profession. 

The  Rev.  Dr.  Bouton,  bo  familiar  with  New  Hampshire  history, 
said  of  him  :  "  By  turns  he  held  almost  every  position  of  honor  and 
trust  in  the  state,  nud  cau  truly  be  called  one  of  the  must  disting- 
uished men  of  his  time."  John  Farmer  said  of  him:  "At  the  time 
be  was  speaker  his  influence  was  so  great  that  by  mesne  of  two  or 
three  associates  he  ruled  the  state."  He  hail  much  wit  and  power 
of  ridicule,  so  effective  in  debate. 

He  was  a  friend  of  education,  and  did  much  to  establish  Atkinson 
Academy,  one  of  the  oldest  in  the  state.  He  was  one  of  tin.-  founders 
of  the  New  Hampshire  Medical  Society.  In  recognition  of  his  ser- 
vices in  the  cause  of  education  and  in  so  many  positions  of  trust, 
Dartmouth  College,  in  1791,  conferred  on  him  the  degree  of  Master 
of  Arts.

he  journeyed  had  fine  horses  and  n  servant,  which  in  the  end 
to  his  bankruptcy. 

It  is  not  the  modern  custom  in  biography  to  allude  to  any  defects, 

i  popular  writer  of  such  works  once  said  to  the  writer :  *  You 

t  not  turn  a  man  out  into  the  world  naked."      A  regard  for 

wever,  compels  me  to  add  that  old  persons  who  knew  I  rCfl 

•body,  while  not  questioning  his  ability  and  the  value  of  his  ser- 

i,  have  spoken  much  of  his  lack  of  integrity,  his  business  trickery, 

his  religious  skepticism. 

»  home  in  Atkinson  was  the  house  nearest  the  brick  meeting 

Ex-(Jov.   Bell,  in  his  excellent  history  of  Exeter,  states 

he  lived   there  "on  the  eastern  side  of  the  river,  oof  far  from 

Great  bridge."     He  died  at  the  great  ngc  of  82,  June  27,  1823.

Jr  most  of  the  facts  in  this  sketch,  the  writer  is  indebted  to  John 

who  wrote  so  much  and  so  well  about  men  and  events  con- 

with  the  early  history  of  New  Hampshire.

TEDS  graveyard  is  just  without  the  old  north  gate  of  the  town,

is  of  poets  and  boards,  the  entrance  gate  un  its  east  side  being  uiaiolj

The  rows  are  somewhat  irregular — being  out  of  a  straight  line 
that  they  allow  of  the  insertion  of  half  rows.     A  good  many 
graves  are  without  monuments.  Home  of  winch  must  contain 
bodies,  if  one  may  guess  from  the  quite  long  list  of  int.  »i 
tween  1877  and  1884.     During  the  latter  year,  the  yard  wao  nn&ify 
closed  as  a  place  of  interment.     The  previous  list,  or  lists,  of  bi

unmarked  with  nn  exception  or  two.  lie  in  this  yard.

WILLIAM  HULL. 

Br  Samuel  C.  Clauxk,  B«q.,  of  Marietta,  Georgia. 
[Concluded  frvm  pug*  133] 

February,  1812,  Governor  Hull  being  in  Washington,  war 

lli  England  imminent,  and  the  Indians   threatening   llie   people   of 

.in,  he  urged  the  n  of  troops  at  Detroit  to  keep  the 

rape*  in  check.      President  Madison  accordingly  called  upon  the 

rernor  of  Ohio  for  twelve  hundred  militia  for  that  serviiv.  and 

lor  Hull  was  asked  to  lead  them  to   Detroit.      He    declined, 

that  he  did   not  wish  for  any    military  appointment.      Col. 

»g»bury   was   then  ordered  to  the  command,  but  was  taken  sick, 

was  unable  to  go.     Governor  Hull   being  ngain   approached, 

-  anxiety  for  the  safety  of  the  territory,  in  an  evil   hour 

I  the  command,  with  the  rank  of  brigadier  general,  and  re- 

"ffice  of  governor,   with  the  understanding  that  in  case 

rar  he  was  to  he  released  from  command, 

iry  Clay  and  other  congressmen  were  asserting  that  Canada,  iu 

rich  England,  could  easily  be  conquered!  but  GoTUrnOf 

II,  knowing  the  difficulties  of  that  enterprise,  was  less  sanguine. 

Canadian  militia  were  twenty  times  as  numerous  as  those  of 

ligun,  and  the  force  of  I3riti«li   troops  in  Canada  was  equal  to 

ie  whole  regular  army  of  the  United  States  in  1812.     Be- 

which,   there  was  a  strong  British  fleet  on  the  lakes,  and  the 

rteans  had  only  one    brig,    which    was    still    on    the    stocks. 

>r  Hull  icdly  warned  his  government  of  the  necessity 

naTal  force,  as  whoever  commanded  the  lakes  commanded  the 

bo!  nothing  was  done. 
hia  Memoirs  of  his  campaign,  General  Hull  writes  as  follows  : 

nvinced  that  the  force  entrusted  to  my  command  was  sufficient  for 
lontier  and   the  security  of  the  Territory  while  we 
at  pesos  wiih  (.reat  Britain;  and  knowing  that  I   had  communicated 
laseamree,  in  my  opinion,  would  be  necessary  in  the  event  of  war, 
communication!!  had  been  approved  by  the  government,  I  had  little 
U  respect  to  any  consequences  which  might  hare  attended  my 


*eral  Hull   found  the  three  Ohio  regiments  of  militia,   1200 
lg,  wholly  undisciplined,  half  clothed,  and  so  badly  armed  that 
waa  obliged    to    provide    blankets    and    ammunition,    and    hire

when  John  C.  Calhoun,  then  Secretary  of  War,  ordered  copies

iu  vastness,  or  estimating  the  necessary  means.     The  conception  of 

ampaign  was  a  huge  blunder,  and  (lull  saw  it;  and  the  failure  to  put

and  Dearborn  were  to  blame.     Had  tbe  administration  carried  ou: 
of  attack;  bud  Canada  been  rigorously  invaded  at  tbe  same  moment 
Detroit,  from  Niagara,  from  Sackett's  U arbor,  and  from  about  Cham 
Brock  oould  not  bare  concentrated  bis  forces  about  aialdeu.aud  Hull 
not  bave  been  captured  at  Detroit. 

Only  a  few  months  after  the  sentence  of  the  court  martial, 
eral  Hull  mat  with  I  greater  misfortune  in  the  loss  of  his  only 
Captnin  Abraham  Fuller  Hull   of  the   Ninth   Infantry,    who 
the  buttle  ut  Lundy  s  Lane,  .July  1814,  while  leading  hia  coi 
in  a  bayonet  charge  on  the  euemy's  guns. 

Among  the  many  falsehoods  published  by  the  government  pa 
was  the  statement  that  Detroit  hud   been   sold  by   General    Hull 
British  gold,  and  that  wagon  loads  of  it  had  been  heard  in  tb. 
going  to  bis  house  in  Nawtoo.      He  was  in  facta  poor  man.      Whi 
he  went  to  Detroit  in  1805,  as  governor,  he  invested  moet 
means  in  a  house  and  lands  in  that  village.    After  leaving  Del 
1812,  he  was  obliged  to  sell  his  property  there  at  a  sacrifice, 
arrears  of  salnry  were  due  him  for  years,  and  the  advances 
he  had  made  for  the  equipment  of  the  Ohio  militia  were  m 
to  him,  owing  to  the  loss  oi  his  vouchers  by  tbe  capture  of  the 
nt   Maiden.      He   had  little  left   except  a  farm  in  Newton,  which 
held  in  right  of  his  wife. 

This  farm  of  300  acres  was  part  of  the  tract  of  1000  acres 
by  John  Fuller  in  1G44,  in  die  northwest  part  of  Newton,  kn 
the  "Fuller  Farm."      When  in  1680  his  son  Joseph  mat 
daughter  of  Edward  Jackson  of  Newton,  the  bridegroom  « 
with  200  acres  of  this  farm  by  his  father,  and  tfifl  brick  with  20  a 
by  her  father.     On   this  20  acres  their  house  was  built,  ami  si 
tUl  about  1814,  when  it  was  replaced  by  one  built  by  William  Hull] 
this   was   removed  after  the  place  was  sold  in  1830,  and  the 
now  occupied  by  the  residence  of  Governor  Claflin.     The  great 
still  standing  near  the  house  was  planted  by  Joseph  Fuller  200 
ago. 

Upon  this  farm  General  Hull  maintained  his  family,  and 
skillful  Cultivation,  by  the  use  of  irrigation  and  fertilizers,  he  ra 
good  crops.     He  was  one  of  the  first  in  Massncl:  o  feed 

cattle  and  sheep  on   ruta   bagas,   and  to  get  a  hundred   bushels 
corn  from  an  acre  of  ground.     He  was  seldom  seen  abroad 
many  visitors  from  among  the  best  people  of  his  vicinity,  and 
old  comrades   of  the   revolution.      Hid   farm   was  the   happy 
of  his  daughters  and  their  children,  and  the   General  never   look 
so  happy  as  when  he  was  calling  his  grandchildren  to  partake

you  Honour  to  Allow  me  to  Say,  That  it  looks  very  hard,  if  it  be  so.  That 
we  should  bo  disbanded  almost  as  soon  as  Enlisted.  Wee  have  pot  our-

Trouble  and  Charge  we  have,  to  fit  ourselves  for  this  Service,  were  it  Not 
that  we  Thought  We  had  the  publick  Faith  to  Secure  us,  as  I  think  w» 
have  in  the  late  Act,  Which  Says,  That  the  Encouragement  (therein  men- 
tioned) is  to  Continue  from  the  Enlistment  to  the  first  of  November.  W 
Expect  the  Benefit  of  this  Act,  the  War  Continueing,  aud  Other  Company!

( :  i  ntlkmex,     I  am  a  M;in  who  has  spent  some  Part  of  my  Life  beta 
the  Barrack*  and  Camp,  therefore  have  contracted  a  natural  Love  for 
tary  Purnde.     To  indulge  my  Foibk,  I  went  tli<*  other   Day  to  see 
your  ln'1' •pendent  Companies  go  through  the  Prussian  Exercise, 
culled  it:   when,  behold,  all  that  I  saw  was  their  forming  six   d> 

Half  Files  facing  to  the  Bight  about,  and  marching  eighteen  Pacssi

widi  the  slow  Parade  Motions  of  prime  and  load,  was  (as  I  understood)  I 
constitute-  the  Whole,  and  you  may  call  it  Prussian  Exercise  if  yoo  | 
hut,  if  1  have  any  Judgment,  it  is  meer  Burlesque  on  all  Exec 
inquiry,  why  the  regular  J*russian  Discipline  was  not  adopted,  I 
by  the  Man  that  was  to  teach  them,  that  he  could  not  tell  off  a  Hi 
that  is,  he  could  not  put  them  through  their  Firing*.     If  this  be  the' 
I  have  great  Reason  to  believe  it  is  (not  only  so  with  that  Co  tor, 
muny  others  in  the  Colony)  that  many  who  pretend  to  teach  the 
Exercise  never  saw  a  Ruttalion  told  off  in   their   Lives,  according 
Prussian  Method  of  firing,  and,  if  tiny  did,  their  low  stations  in 
rendered  it  impossible  for  them  ever  to  know  any  Thing  but  what  I 
their  own  Subor  Grand  Divisiou:    If  so  what  must  those  Cotnpauit* ; 
to  themselves  by  the    Mode  of  Exercise  they  have  adopted,  in 
Emergency.     Each  Company  might  lie  formed  into  a  Battalion,  an 
a  Body  of  brave  men  with  such  couuterfii  I  rj  to  face  a  die 

Enemy,  would,  in  my  Opinion,  be  downright  Murder.      Let  us 
ourselves  with  this  Conceit,  that  we  shall  always  hare  the  Bush  to 
hind;  for,  in  the  different  Services  of  war  in  this  Country,  there 
Passes  to  be  guarded  or  forced,  Bridges  to  be  crossed  or  defended,  *~ 
to  be  guarded  or  stormed,  Streets  to  be  cleared,  and  Sometimes  Square* ! 
be  formed;  in  all  of  which  Cases  bushing  it  would  be  of  little  or  no  Use:  ■ 
to  send  undisciplined  troops  on  such  Service  would  be  absurd  indeed. 
native  Courage  of  the  Americans,  and  their  Knowledge  of  the  Woods,  I 
an  early  I'm  of  Fire-Anns,  has  rendered  them  superior  in  the  Woods  to  i 
Troops  in  Europ;  and  if  under  regular  Discipline,  might  be  as  famoui 
the  Field.     But  it  may  be  observed,  and  said,  we  want  Men  of  Know!

Dalton.  Mr.  Zenas  Crane  mid  Mr.  W.  Murray  Crura  added  an 
equal  mm  to  this,  and  caused  to  be  built  a  Town  Hall  of  blue

moved to  George's  Island  in  Boston  Harbor;  an  island  bought,  as 
valuable  for  its  timber  and  grasitig  lands,  by  James  Pemberton,  as 
early  as  1682.  Its  second  owner  was  Samuel  Greenleaf,  whose

Crane's  Brook. 

Like  many  another  New  England  farm  of  the  period,  it  was  lelf 
centered;  the  house  .standing  aloof  from  the  main  travelled  road, 
here  a  half  a  mile  distant,  but  lying  so  in  the  heart  of  its  acres  that

He  supplemented  the  lessons  of  its  "cyphering  school"  with  idea* 
of  his  own.  and  invented  for  himself  a  book  of  problems  which  is 
held  by  bis  family;  its  pages  lined  with  exactness  and  filled  with 
carefully  developed  examples. 

A  change  from  the  active,  vigorous,  open  air  life  of  a  farmer's  ion 
to  any  indoor  occupation  could  but  be  trying  to  him,  and,  naturally 
enough,  he.  a  Quincy  boy,  saw  his  road  to  future  fortune  lying 
through  the  granite  quarries,  he  directly  began  its  foundation  bj 
learning  the  stone  cutter's  trade.  But  while  his  bands  were  thai 
busied,  his  mind  was  striving  and  searching.  Of  a  deeply  religion 
nature,  he  wrought  out  for  himself  a  system  of  theology  whid 
could  tiud  its  best  exposition  in  the  liberal  thought  of  the  Universalis! 
creed. 

The  nearest  place  where  he  could  hear  the  discourses  that  were  is 
sympathy  with  his  conception  was  the  church  on  School  Street,  Boston, 
where  Rev.  Hosea  Ballou  weekly  stirred  his  adherents  with  hi 
hearty,  lively  enunciation  of  his  humane  precepts.  This  church  m 
some  eighteen  miles  distant,  and  there  was  no  public  conveyance  be- 
tween the  two  towns  at  that  early  period.  This  did  not  deter 
Thomas  Crane.  Each  Sahbath  he  quietly  walked  these  eightess. 
miles ;  then,  when  the  day  was  ended,  had  this  long  distance  to  cover 
before  he  could  return  to  his  weekly  labors.  Small  wonder  that 
such  a  youth  should  soon  find  his  village  home  too  narrow  for  his 
tireless  energies.  That  was  quickly  outgrown,  and  an  occasion  offer- 
ing, he  removed  to  New  York  city  in  1829,  where  he  immediately 
began  work  on  stone. 

He  soon  joined  an  association  of  his  craftsmen,  and  together  they 
bought  a  stune-yard.  His  talents  speedily  carried  him  beyond  hi 
associates  who  could  not  appreciate  his  advanced  ideas,  and  thej 
made  the  whole  yard  over  to  him,  as  sole  proprietor.  As  he  becsM 
known  in  his  profession,  large  contracts  were  given  to  him.  He 
furnished  the  granite  for  the  42d  Street  Distributing  Reservoir,  the 
New  York  Custom  House.  St.  Johu's  Freight  Depot,  aud  the  Grass1 
Central  Depot.  This  not  only  interested  bim  in  public  construction*) 
but  made  bim  familiar  with  the  city.  He  studied  it  attentively, ana 
bought  lands  where  he  foresaw  its  spread.  This  followed  as  b>i 
divined,  and  bis  capital  increased  rapidly,  with  it  his  power  of1 
development. 

But  his  own  advancement  was  only  one  motor.  The  public  well- 
being  was  his  interest  too.  He  became  an  active  and  efficient  mem- 
ber of  the  Universalist  Church  to  which  Horace  Greeley  belouge4 
and  Mr.  Crane's  sympathy  with  his  advanced  opinions  aud  oat- 
spoken  convictions  led  to  a  firm  friendship  between  these  tso 
6trong  men.  At  that  time  an  anti-slavery  man  was  not  caressed  by 
society,  but  Mr.  Crane  sturdily  stated  his  fullest  acceptance  of  tbt 
principles  of  that  party  and  labored  with  it  resolutely  *N 
unflinchingly. 

When  the  Universalists  agitated  the  subject  of  establishing  » 
college  for  their  own  special  tenets,  he  favored  the  project  and  g*** 
substantial  aid  in  founding  Tufts  College  at  Medford,  Mass.,  accepting 
the  office  of  Trustee,  in  which  duty  he  spent  much  time,  thought  aw 
money  all  the  rest  of  his  life. 

As  his  clear  judgment,  sagacity,  practical  skill,  shrewdness  ana

mental  strength  became  known  to  his  fellow  citizens,  ho  was  sought 
i  various  councils,     lie  was  elected  in  Hanks  Street  Railways 
and  Insurauce  Companies,  and  was  an  important  man  in  financial 
circle*. 

He  ever  kepi  a  warm  interest  in  his  Quincv  home,  and  alth< 
he  developed  a  beautiful  summer  residence  at  Stamford,  Cu,  still  In 
was  foi)'l  ui  niHtniM  to  iliu  seashore  where  his  healthful,  ha 
bovhood  was  spent.     In  sympathy  with  this  sentiuioul  and  in  BDMOD 
with  hi*  regard  for  the  highest  interest*  of  his  fellow-beings,  after 
lis  decease,  his  widow  and  two  sons.  Benjamin  F.  and  Albert,  gave 
to  the  town  a  beautiful  library,  kuowu  as  the  Crane  Manorial  HaJI. 
There  on  the  umiu  street  it  stands,  one  of  Richardson's  finest  de- 
signs,  with  its  smooth,  grassed  approach,  "  in  itself  an  tdooation  in 
art."  a*  Mr.  Charles  Francis  Adams  so  aptly  said  in  his  address  at 
its  dedication.     A  beautiful  building,  with  spacious,  sunny   rooms, 
illuminated  by  windows  in    which  are  tODM  choice  specimen-  of

THE  ASPINWALL  FAMILY  OF  MUDDY  RIVER,  NOW 
BROOKLINE,  MASS. 

Compiled  by  Edward  Auoustus  Bo  wen,  Esq.,  of  Woodstock,  Ct. 

1 .  Peter  Aspinwall  came  from  Toxteth  Park,  now  a  part  of  Liverpool, 
England,  to  New  England  about  the  year  1630.  It  is  not  known  wto 
were  his  parents.  About  this  time  (1630)  there  was  living  at  Toxteth 
Park  a  Mr.  Edward  Aspinwall,  who  may  have  been  the  father  of  Peter 
Aspinwall.  Rev.  Richard  Mather,  when  he  first  became  a  teacher  at  Tox* 
teth  Park,  lodged  for  a  time  with  this  Mr.  Edward  Aspinwall,t  and  it  it 
more  than  likely  that  he  there  became  acquainted  with  Peter  Aspinwall, 
whether  Peter  was  the  son  of  Edward  or  not.  It  is  a  curious  coincidence 
that  three  sons  of  Rev.  Mr.  Mather  and  Peter  Aspinwall  should  have  bid 
the  same  names:  Samuel,  Nathaniel  and  Eleazer. 

For  several  years  after  coming  to  New  England  Peter  Aspinwall  lived 
in  Dorchester;  and  while  there,  in  May  1645,  he  was  made  a  •'freeman"; 
and,  probably  while  living  there,  was  married  to  Alice  Sharp.  An  entry  uv 
the  Parish  Register  of  The  First  Church  of  Boston  records :  "  Also  o'  sister 
Alice  Sharp  now  y*  wife  of  one  Peter  Aspinwall  of  Dorchester  had  Ires  of 
Recoffiend  granted  unto  her  to  y*  Church  at  Dorchester."  "  The  8'  day  of 
ye  4th  Moneth  1645." 

Mr.  Lewis  Tappan,  a  son-in-law  of  Doctor  William  Aspinwall  of  Brook* 
line,  Mass.,  wrote  in  his  diary  under  date  February  2,  1818,  the  substance

Oxford,  21  Feb.  li>24-5;  aa  a  matter  of  fact  this  was  the  date  of 
his  passing  the  degree  of  B.A.,  while  his  matriculation  at  the  age 
of  18  years  was  2  Nov.  1621.  These  dates  are  correctly  given  in

Thomas  French  of  Guilford.  Ct. 


rJoir, 


when  Mr  Whitfield'*  reasons  were  tendered  to  the  church  here  [o< 
ford]  for  his  removal  and  read  in  public  A  enquiry  made  of  every  man 
particular  bja  ability  in  paying  to  ih>  n  for  the 

and  probability  to  continue  according  to  ordinary   Providence- 
French  said  In-  ihoald  lie  able  to  continue  his  present  sum  A  said  far 
he  vras  willing  to  add  6  S.  per  nn 

It  is  probulilv  ili  i:  Mr.  Joint  Cartinge.  when  he  left  Guilford  in  the  I 
part  of  1643.  or  be  ;ot  Thomas  French  to  occupy  his  eat 

at  Guilford.  Mr.  Cu Hindi  sued  French,  April  1.  1651,  at  Now  Hat 
for  the  use  of  his  bouse,  land  and  cattle  at  Guilford.  Probably  Frei 
took  them  whin  Mr.  Gaffloca  left  that  place.     II    New  li  Rec. 

At  a  court  Feb.  5,  Anno  1661-t.     Thomas  French  was  called  m 
monished  for  saying  in  a  clamourous  A  scandalizing  way  "yt  he  nor  hi 
family  were  not  relieved  according  to  their  need — nor  yt  he  conld  get 
corn  in  the  town  for  pay  unless  he  came  and  offered  them  half  so  m« 
more  as  it  was  worth,  but  when  he  did  so.  then  they  had  corn  enough  for  hid 
otherwise  not.  wherefore  he  was  forced  [to]  go  our.  of  the  town  to  g 
tor  his  family  " — or  words  to  that  effect.     To  which  he  acknowledged 
this  whs  only  true  of  particular  persons.     The  court  out  of  tenderness 

ily  pass  it  over,  at  present,  with  an  admonition,  to  take  more 
to  his  carriage  reports  A  speeches. 

At  a  court  May  3,  1655,  be  had  two  suits  with  John  Everts  with 
to  boggs.  which  were  eventually  arranged. 

At  a  towu  meeting  on  ye  23d  of  June  iCO-'i  Tho:   French  propoundis 
in  way  of  Petition  to  the  town  to  have  some  relief  on  account  of  bis  dac 
who  was  not  wright  in  her  own  mind.     When  tho  town  cons 
request,  It  was  put  to  vote  &  the  vote  passed  in  the  negative, — That  t 
hi  ii  ii  mi  tli.  -in-  :!w>  engaged  either  to  him  or  his  A  therefore  >li<l 
I.  be  returned  to  tho  place  whence  he  came. 

And  at  a  Town  sleeting  AagnsJ  •_'!,  1665.     The  town  being  informed 
notwiili-tiiiiiling  Thomai  French  had  been  dealad  entertainment  oi  ads 
tance  into  thin  town  cither  for  himself  or  his  daughter — yet  be  ha 
i    Wright  to  settle  oti, — They  did  agree  by  vote  as  a  | 
tii. ii  ..I  !iim    a  whosoever  did  any  longer  entertain  either  of  them  should 
gifO  in  lufflcJaol  security  that  they  6hould  be  no  damage  to  the  town. 

These  votes  are  now  inexplicable.     Thomas  French  had  been  a  plant 
for  20  years,  had  owned  lands  in   tho  town,  and  was  a  man  of  property. 
This  Tbos.  French  was  probably  another  man,  or  else  the  daughter 
married  to  another  man.

FRENCHES  OF  IPSWICH. 

Communicated  by  A.  D.  Wild  Fac*cn,  Esq.,  of  Boston,  Mas*. 

The  following  ia  an  extract  from  n  letter  of  Jcihn  Hluette  (who 
had  been  steward  of  Grolon  Manor,  of  which  Got.  Winthrop  wai  I 
lord)     to  John   Winthrnp,  Jr.,  of    New   England,    dated    Groton, 
March  4,  1632-3,  and  printed  in  the  Collections  of  the  Massachu- 
setts Historical  Society,  5th  Series,  Vol.  I.  pp.  199-200. 

"  My  louinge  comcndations  to  John  Sampford,  goodman  Pease  &  j 
his  company  and  to  Anne  Chambers,  John   Bigga,   ray  scholl 
Thoma*  French  and  John  Clarke." 

Thomas  French  referred  to  is  supposed  to  be  the  same  as  found  an 
to  the  above  date  in  the  records  of  the  First  Church  of  Boston,  where  k 
appears  between  the  name  of  John  Winthrop  and  that  of  his  wife.     Thoem 
French  was  recorded  a  freeman  on  Nov.  6.  1632.     The  records  of  the  Fine 
Church  of  Boston  show  that  he  had  i  i  Mary,  born  1631-2;  & 

must  have  died  soon  after,  as  he  had  another  daughter  of  the  same  chrittiat 
name  born  in  1 634,  and  from  the  fact  that  this  christian  name  is  perpetusud. 
it  may  indicate  that  the  name  of  his  wife  was  Mary.     He  removed  to  Ipswies 
in  1634,  and  in  1038  he  waa  dismissed  from  the  Boston  Church  to  that  c 
Ipswich,  and  be  died  before  Nov.  5,  1639,  as  appears  by   another 
wherein  it  is  stated  that  "  The  administration  of  the  goods  of  Thomas  F: 
deceased  is  committed  to  his  wife   (a  widow   French  appear*   in    IG4! 
commoner  at  Ipswich)  and  the  land  which  he  left  is  to  be  dispo- 
or  otherwise  by  the  advice  of  the  Magistrates  of  Ipswich  for   I 
nance  of  his  wife  and  education  of  his  children,  which  are  not  yet  get  able 
provide  for  themselves  nor  were  disposed  of  in  their  Fathers  life 

The  above  record  Indicates  that  he  had  provided  for  some  of  hischi! 
The  name  of  Thomas  French,  Jr.  appears  in  1638,  and  again  as 
in  1641;  he  died  in  1680. 

Alice  French,  nu  early  member  of  the  Church  of  Boston,  became  the 
of  Thomas  Howlett.     She  was  dismissed  from  the  Boston  Church  to 
of  Ipswich,  June  16,  1644.     Alice  Howlett,  wife  of  Thomas  Howlett, 
mentioned  in  the  will  of  John  Robinson  of  Ipswich  in  1657.     There 
to  have  been  two  Mary  Frenches,  both  married,  but  whose  husbands'  m 
are  not  mentioned.     One  was  n  sister  of  John    Hanniford,   who  men 
her  in   his  will  of  1567  as  follows:  children  of  his  sister   nfan    I- 
Another  is  found  in  the  Visitation  of  Gloucester.     By  this  Pedig 
Ham  Scudamore  of  Herefordshire  bad  a  daughter  Mary,  m 
Boston  in  New  England,  no  christian  name  being  given.     This  ped 
states,    that  this  son  died  circa  1637,  aged  about  4'».     So  that  the  sge 
this  Mary  French  must  have  been  within  a  few  years  of  that  ol  her  broi 
William  Scudatnore's  will  was  proved  at  London  in  1636.      In  it  ho 
a  bequest  of  rive  pounds  each  "to  all  the  now  children  of  Mary  French 
sister,"  but  no  reference  is  made  to  New  England.

Deaths. 


July, 


Mu.  Maktka  Jo  ax  x  a  Lax*  died  in  New 
Yoik  city  oa  Monday  morning.  January 
2,  1893,  aged  63.  She  was  the  daugh- 
ter of  Arrin  and  Luanda  (Vinton) 
Nash,  and  iru  born  August  13,  1829. 
She  warried  Sept.  8,  1833,  Ckarle*  A. 
Lamb  of  Maumec  City.  Ohio.  They 
removed  to  Chicago,  where  ahe  reaided 
eight  year*.  In  1884,  ahe  took  up  her 
residence  in  New  York  City. 

Our  American  republic  of  letters  ha* 
met  with  a  distinct  lo»«  in  tbr  death  of 
Mr*.  Lamb.  A] though  residing  for 
many  years  past  in  New  York  city,  she 
was  born  in  Plainficld.  Msssachusetta, 
and  doubtlesa  owed  ranch  of  her  lore 
of  learning  to  her  long  line  of  New 
England  ancestry,  and  also,  perhaps,  to 
the  strain  of  Qallic  blood  in  her  family, 
giving  warmth  and  enthusiasm,  or  more 
properly  speaking,  the  expression  of 
these  attributes,  to  the  more  solid  and 
staying  qualities  of  her  English  blood. 
At  ■  very  early  age  she  wu  an  ardent 
lover  of  books,  especially  of  historical 
studies,  and  thia  increased  and  devel- 
oped as  the  years  went  on  and  she 
gradually  gathered  rich  stores  of  knowl- 
edge which  she  dispensed  in  her  writ- 
ings. Hers  was  eminently  a  literary 
life,  and  ahe  loved  literature  for  its  own 
sake  and  for  the  great  results  wrought  by 
it.  She  not  only  acquired  much  know- 
ledge but  produced  the  results  of  her  re- 
searches for  the  benefit  of  others.  She 
wrote  many  stories  and  several  books 
for  children,  thus,  like  Miss  Alcott  and 
other*,  ahowing  a  peculiar  gift,  for  it 
must  ever  be  remembered  that  it  is  a 
great  thing  to  be  able  to  interest  tad 
therefore  to  stimulate  and  in-mut  the 
child-mind,  a  mind  fur  more  acute  and 
imaginative  in  many  ways  than  many 
ore  Milling  to  admit.  Who  can  measure 
in  after  life  the  results  of  seed-thought* 
early  sown  in  the  mind? 

It  is  estimuti-d  thtt  she  wrote  about 
one  hundred  magazine  articles  on  his- 
torical and  other  subject*.  She  ia  also 
i|i,iti  wi  Q  known  in  nxmitwlmt  limited 
circle,  by  her  books  entitled  "Historic 
Homes  of  Are  erica,"  "  Wall  Street  in 
History,"  and  her  M  History  of  the  City 
of  New  York."  Hut  probably  her  beat 
and  most  fnr-r.  ik  has  been 

done  a*  contributor  to  and  later  a* 


editor  of  the  "  Magaiine  of  America* 

v."    tk*t    admirable 
which  has  rendered  such  i 
in  disseminating  knowledge  of  Ameri- 
can history  throughout  the  land,  than 

b  (uext  to  tie  implanting 
principle*  of  Christianity  itself),  then 
can  hardly  be  a  more  praiseworthy 
work.  Mr*.  Lamb  was  quite  proficient 
in  mathematics,  and  perhaps  owed  con- 
siderable of  her  mental  development, 
her  accuracy  as  an  historian,  to  the 
training  she  derived  from  this  sourea. 
Neither  must  it  be  forgotten  that  dar- 
ing a  residence  of  several  years 
Chicago  she  did  much  toward  ■

MEMOIR  OF  JEREMIAH  COLBURN,  A.M. 

By  the  Editor  of  the  Beqibtbr. 

Jeremiah  Colbcbn  was  born  in  the  town  or  Boston,  Massachusetts, 

nuary   12.  1815.      His  father  was  Calvin  Colburn,   a  native  of 

bdnater,  Mass.,  whose  father,  Nathan  Colburn,  was  a  soldier  in 

i  war  of  the  Revolution.     His  mother's  maiden  name  was  Catharine 

fbil  Lakin.     She  was  the  youngest  child  of  Isaac  and  Mary  (Law- 

ce)    Lakin,   and    was    born    at   Groton,   Mass.,  May  20,  1780. 

ey  were  married  at  Groton,  April  20,  1800. 

Mr.  Colburn  received  his  education  at  the  public  schools  of  his 

ive  town.     His  first  attendance  was  at  a  primary  school  In  1820, 

BQ  he  was  five  years  old.      liu  continued  in  the  primary  and 

amar  schools  till  the  year  1830.     Among  the  schools  which  he 

nil.il  were  the  Bowdoia  in  Derne  street,  and  the  Mayhew  in 

iwkins  street. 

Soon  after  leaving  school  he  became  a  clerk  in  the  store  of  Seth 
•  Thomas,  a  dealer  in  hats,  at  No.  60  Washington  street,  on  the 
Brn  side,  a  lew  doors  north  of  State  street.     As  a  clerk  he 
le  himself  useful,  was  attentive  to  his  duties,  and  endeavored 
acquire  a  thorough  knowledge  of  the  business.      In  the  year 
.».  Mr.  Thomas  gavo  up  his  business  to  engage  in  other  pui.-mis, 
Mr.  Colburn,  then  a  young  mau  of  twonty-five  years,  succeeded 
He  was  strictly  honest  in  his  dealings,  and  made  it  for  the 
est  of  purchasers  to  trade  with  him.     They  found  that  he  con- 
id  their  interests  as  well  as  his  own.     They  became  friends  as 
as  customers.     He  carried  on  the  business  successfully  for 
twelve  year 8. 
Id  the   8th  of   March,  1853,   Mr.   Colburn    was   appointed    by

At  the  age  of  fifteen  he  began  to  form  a  collection  of  coins,  which  ma, 
at  first,  as  might  be  expected,  of  a  miscellaneous  character.  Subsequently, 
without  abandoning  his  former  pursuit,  he  turned  his  attention  to  miners}* 
and  shells,  and  lastly  to  books,  autographs,  manuscripts,  portraits  and  en- 
gravings relating  to  America,  including  colonial  and  continental  money, 
supplemented  by  early  and  recent  issues  of  paper  tokens,  from  one  peonj 
n|  v  trds.  At  the  suggestion  of  Joseph  G.  Morris  of  Philadelphia,  who  vu 
lost  at  sea  in  the  steamer  "  Arctic  "  on  her  passage  from  Liverpool  in 
he  began  a  collection  of  hank  notes,  Including  those  of  broken  banks  u>i 
the  counterfeit  bills  of  the  petted,  his  friend  believing  the  day  to  be  not 
far  distant  when  paper  money  would  be  among  the  things  of  the  past,  or 
least  of  great  rarity.* 

His  collection  of  coin-  and  medals  in  1863,  aft-  ;ig  a  third 

of  a  century  in  gathering  it,  had  become  extensive  and  valuai- 
include  I  «mii!  nl  tin   finest  and  rarest  of  early  American  coins. 
Greek  and  Roman  coins  ho  had  also  a  valuable  colleoti 
medals  included  somo  of  the  rarest  specimens,  and  those  of  the  m 
elaborate  workmanship.     In  that  year  Mr.  Colburn  disposed  of 
large  proportion  of  his  collection.      He  retain  mat, 

:e  pieces,  to  which  from  time  to  time  he  made  additions. 

Tin-  gathering  of  these  coins  ami  medals  was  a  good  school 
him,  as  he  was  thereby  led  to  study  the  history  of  the  nations  b; 
which  they  wore  struck,  and  particularly  of  his  own  cone 
acquainted  himself  with  the  leading  events  commemorated  by 
coins  of  Greece  and  Rome.     Tin   races  of  the  old  emperors,  as 
trayed  by  their  mint-masters,  became  familiar  to  him.     Tho  m 
and  coins  of  the  mother  country  led  him  to  study  her  annals. 
the  leading  events  in  the  lives  of  her  heroes  and  statesmen, 
ially  ns  related  to  his  favorite  science. 

Llis  library  of  historical  books  and  pamphlets  relating  to  Ai 
was  large,  bat  bis  collection  of  auiogrs  I  prints  was 

remarkable.      It  was  especially  rich  in   American   specimens,  | 
was  very  valuable  in  a  historical  point  of  view.

historical  documents  and  rare  Araericaua.  This  was  cheerfully 
given,  and  as  he  made  no  pretence  to  knowledge  which  he  did  not 
possess,  his  opinion  could  safely  be  relied  on.  He  knew  either  per- 
sonally or  by  correspondence  the  most  eminent  collectors.

darned  edition  of  the  work,  bat  he  did  not  find  time  to  prepare  it 
)r  the  press. 

Bras  one  of  th''  founders  of  the  Prince  Society,  organized  in 
1858,  whoso  object  is  the  '"preserving  and  extending  the  knowledge 
of  American  history,  by  editing  and  printing  such  manuscripts,  rare 
tracts  and  volumes  as  are  mostly  confined  in  their  uso  to  historical 
nts  and  public  libraries."  The  Rev.  Dr.  Sluftcr  thus  speaks 
of  the  advantages  of  audi  a  society : 

ireful  historical  student  is  fully  aware  that  there  exists  in  this 
oouutry  and  in  England  a  mass  of  maitei  in  the  form  of  legal  documents, 
charters,  tracts  and  letters,  which  are  inaccessible,  or  of  very  great   I 

-  indispensable  to  a  correct  knowledge  of  our  early  history. 

lhe*e  papers  are  scattered,  and  some  of  them  perhaps  unknown,  they 

are  not  only  liable,  but  pretty  sure  to  be  overlooked,  und  in  consequence 

loriau  is  equally  sure  to  fall  into  error.     It  U  the  object  of  this  society 

collect  together  these  papers,  fragments  of  a  complete  whole,  and  print 

kern  in  volumes,  carefully  and  fully  annotated,  so  that  the  historical  .student 

ly  have  the  whole  subject  before  him  at  once.* 

Samuel  G.  Drake,  A.M.,  the  historian,  of  Boston,  was  chosen  the 
st  p:  Mr.  Colburn  was  chosen  a  vice-president,  and  held 

office  fro  in  1850  to  1863,  when  be  was  chosen  treasurer.     This 
he  hold  till  1873,  when  he  resigned.     Ho  was  the  publishing 
unmittee  for  the  second  volume  issued  by  the  society,  namely, 
food's  New-England's  Prospect,  a  foolscap  quarto  of  131  poj 
r.  Colburn  lived  to  see  twenty  volumes  of  the  society's  pablicatfaoj 
led,  and  several  others  in  preparation  by  competent  editors. 
He.  was  one  of  those  who  met  in  187!).  by  invitation  of  Mr.  Whit- 
nore.  to  form  the  •'  Bo-ton  Antiquarian  Club."    He  continued  a  mem- 
ber of  this  Club  till  its  dissolution  in  December,   IS8I,  a  new  asso- 
ciation called  tho  "  Bostoninu  Society  "  having  been  formed  under  its 
members.     Of  this  society,  whose  object  is  "to 
promote  the  study  of  the  history  of  Boston,  and  tho  preservation  of

The  society  took  possession  of  these  halls  in  Jane, 
1882,  with  appropriate  ceremonies.     It  has  gathered  within  those 
rie  walls  a  remarkable  collection  of  articles  illustrating  the 
v  of  this  city.     Mr.  Colburn  was  a  life  member  of  this  soc

of  prominent  politicians  in  the  middle  of  the  present  cet 
with  whom  he  was  acquainted,  and  it  was  interesting;  and  instructire

His  recollections  of  the  Boston  of  former  days  were  extremely  vivid,

The  biography  of  Jeremiah  Colburn  may  be  written  iu  u  few  words,

He  saved  every  year  a  part  of  what  ho  earned.     This  was  all  the  secret  of 
his  wealth.     As  an  appraiser  iu  the  Customs  his  salary  was  only  two  thous- 
and  dollars  a  year.      Appointed   under    the  administration    of  President 
held  that  place  eight  years,  and  was  removed  early  iu  the  ad- 
trutiou  of  PrcM  In.     As  au  appraiser  he  wsb  attentive,  in- 

teQigeut.  impartial  and  just,  aud  always  a  gentleman  I   bat  (he  exigencies  of 
party,  and  not  unfitness,  were  supposed  to  rcquiru  his  removal.     Ho  took 
oo  pains  to  retain  his  place,  but  left  to  those  who  deny  all  belief  in    dlfl 
theory  that  the  spoils  belong  to  the  victors,  to  practice  it,  neve  libelees, 
without  couiplaiut,  upon  him;  since,  although  he  never  believed  iu  that 
himself,  he  did  believe,  as  a  man  of  souse,  that  an  administration,  to 
successful,  is  entitled  to  have  its  Erieudi  la  positions  to  aid  it. 
One  morning,  unexpectedly  to  others,  but  not  so  to  liiiu.  be  departed. 
Dr.  Brown-Setjuard  said  to  me,  '"There  is  nothing  vital  which 
ii  Dot  material."     "Well,"  said  I,    "suppose  that  be  so,  is  there  nothing 
arterial  which  is  not  visible  ? "     Dr.  Browu-Sequurd  was  iu  a  hurry  end 
£d  uot  wait  to  answer.     But  I  ask:  Who  has  analyzed  On  human  mind 
in  its  way  to  God?     I  am  of  the  year  1807,  and  I  suppose  I  kuow  as  much 
about  this  matter  as  most  men.     I  cannot  say  that  I  know,  but  I  believe; 
and  that,  I  suppose,  must  suffice  to  me.     But  I  also  believe  a  day  will  come 
•ben  men  will  know.     It  was  once  said:  "The  wind  bloweth  where  it 
li»teih;  we  hear  the  sound  thereof,  but  cannot  tell  whence  it  comet h  nor 
•hither  it  goeth."     But  now  we  kuow  that  the  wind  does  not  blow  where 
th,  but  is  governed  by  a  law;  aud  we  can  tell  from  whence  it  cometh 
ssd  whither  it  goeth,  aud  how  fust  it  goes;  and  since  it  is  not  uncommon  to 
infer  more  thau  is  proved,  I  think  it  is  not  uuwise  to  believe  in  the  exist- 
ence of  more  than  we  can  see.     That  is  my  case.     I  commend  the  thought 
to  others. 

The  ETon.  Samuel  Abbott  Green,  M.D.,  formerly  mayor  of  Boston, 
ahee  these  reiuiuisconces : 

My  acquaintance  with  Mr.  Colburn  began,  nearly  fifty  years  ago,  at 
Groton,  of  which  town  hi-  mother  was  a  native,  ami  where,  tOO,  be  bad  a 
married  sister  (Mrs.  Woolley)  then  living.  1  was  considerably  his  junior 
a  age,  but  I  ren  ember  well  the  kiudly  i  •  took  at  that  time  iu  my 

UoyUli  Later   I    osed  to  meet  him  Often,  dtiriiijj    my  college  days,  at 

Ike  shop  of  Johl  .  au  elderly    Knylishrmui,  who  was  a  <oUCbol<Mpat| 

of  some  local  uote,  and  the  author  ol  a  little  hook  on  Shells.  Mr.  Warreu'a 
pace  of  business  was  iu  School  Street,  and,  besides  specimeDfl  in  his  partic- 
ular liue,  ho  kept  lor  sale  coins,  uutographs,  engr  n  in;;*,  ami  Indian  relics; 
tod  here  my  further  acquaintance  with  Mr.  Colburn  was  continued,  which 
lasted  without  interruption  till  the  day  of  bis  death.  During  this  loug 
period  our  relations  were  often  close,  and  at  uo  time  was  there  ever  u 
SBsdow  of  difference  or  di  a  ecu  us.     Iu  all  our  dealings  together  I 

Oat  impressed  with  his  strict  integrity  aud  honesty  of  purpose,  and  I  felt 
oat  his  decision  in  the  various  mutters  with  which  we  both  were  connected, 
I  correct  and  final.  lie  had  also  a  kindliness  of  disposition,  which  was 
Jly  asserting  itself;  aud  he  never  was  so  happy  as  when  doing  a 
for  a  friend,  which  he  always  did  iu  such  a  way  as  to  leave  the 
ston  that  he  himself  was  the  person  under  obligation. 
Colburn  was  a  bom  "collector  "  aud  a  true  antiquary.  He  did  not 
bis  treasures  and  then  hoard  them,  but  always  tried  to  place  them

where  they  would  be  appreciated.  and  where  they  naturally  and  rightfully 
_'ed.  If  ho  had  an  autograph  or  an  engraving  of  special  interest  lo 
ttjrbodj  sbs,  he  was  almost  sure  to  give  it  away  to  such  s  person.  Ho 
ever  kept  in  mind  the  golden  rule  of  doing  onto  other*  aa  hfl  would  hate 
them  do  onto  him.  which  after  all  is  the  true  test  of  a  gentleman. 

George  A.  Gordon,  AM  ,  of  Somervill-. 
of  tho  New-England  Historic  Genealogical  Society,  writes  of 
follows  : 

Mr.   Colburn   was  city  bred,  and  his  urbane  politeness  was  a 
feature  in  his  character.     Genial  and  hospitable,  the  same  entertaini 
come  was  extended  to  all.     A  North-end  boy  and  youth,  bis 
taiucd  in  vivid  recollection  not  only  the  principal  events  in   Boston 
history  as  a  city,  but  could  reproduce  in  clear  descriptive  portraiture 
chiei  locate  their  homes  and   their   places   of  busmen 

largely    with   the   antiquarian  spirit,   lie  collected  widely,  ami 
authority  on  manuscripts,  autographs,  coins  and  other  memorials 
past.     Mr.  Culbum  was  no  aristocrat.     His  ancestry  had  been  upon 

its  soil  since  1635,  out  of  which  they  hud  «arued  comfortable 
honorable  living  by  industrious,  personal  toil.  They  lobtfotd  the  <*i 
ness,  fought  the  Indian,  ih  and  the  Hritigh,  with  zeal  and 

advance  popular  liberty,  but  without  in  'itedly  attach 

nativ.  I  state,  he  view,  itorrttel  tha  fauatical  real 

I  the  glorious  mud  in  their  histories,  ondeanined  the  sacredoess 

public  obligations,  and  corrupted  the  geuerous  impulses  of  the  people. 

John  S.  H.  Fogg,  M.D.  of  South  Boston,  who  shares  Mr.  Colhar 
tastes,  says  in  a  brief  note  received  since  this  memoir  was  writ 

He  was  one  of  the  very  few  men  whom  I  bare  met  in  my  life-tune 
whom  1  felt  ili  i    l        i  :      ofl       a    !n-ut  reserve.     1  always  felt  lhali

of  forty  acres  in  the  town,  and  pursued  than  the  trade  of  cooper 
but  early  evinced  that  restless  religious  spirit  which  was  so  const

Nothing  of  record  appears  worthy  of  note  for  mm  icerai

This  document  was  dated   12  October,   1651,  and   the   General 
I  then  in  session  took  the  following  action  upon  the  petition  two 
days  later : 

••In  answer  to  the  ]>eiition  of  Thomas  Venner,  for  the  bearinge  of  a  cue 
betweene  Mr  Gayner  &  himselfe,  that  so  he  be  not  hiudnxi  in  his  voyage)

ired  pound  to  the  county  court,  to  bo  responsall  to  answer  Mr  Gayner 

the  action  in  a  court  of  justice."* 

And  so  Master  Venner,  in  October,  1051,  sailed  away  to  England. 
The  General  Court  said  of  him  some  years  later,  "Venner  (not  to 
say  wheucc  ho  came  to  us)  went  out  from  us  because  he  was  not  of

Millenium,  according  to  the  mystical  chapters  in  the  Book  of 
tion.     Venner  preached  this  doctrine  to  hi?  followers  and 
them  to  a  pitch  of  frenzy  by  his  fiery  zeal  for  this  fantastic  doctrine. 
To  such  an  extent  did  ho  carry  his  denunciations  of  the  Protector 
and  his  government,  that  he  began  to  bo  taken  seriously,  and  after 
publication  of  the  intentions  of  his  party  in  a  printed   pamplil 
Cromwell  had  him  arrested  as  a  conspirator  against  the  peace 
the   Commonwealth.     At  this  timo  Royalist   plots  for   restoration 
were    being   exploited,  and  it  was  deemed   advisable  to  stop  any 
fomentations  of  whatever  character  in  their  incipiency.      Rev.  Wil- 
liam Hooke,  in  a  letter  to  John  Winthrop,  Jr.,  dated  13  April, 
thus  descn    -  tin-  [ncMeot: 

"The  other  conspiracy  was  discovered  the  last  week.     It  was  carried  on 
by  tumultuous,  outrageous,  discontented  men,  pretending  to  fifth  monarchy 
hot  discovering  in  their  declaration  (which  is    in  print)   a  bloody 
though  under  a  specious  shew.     Some  of  them  were  lately  apprehended  u 
they  were  praying,  ready  to  set  forward  in  a  hostile  manner  to  gather  to- 
gether iu  a  body,  having  accordingly  furnished  themselves.     In  this 
one  Vennour,  not  long  since  dwelling  in  your  Boston,  a  wine 
principal  actor,  who,  being  brought  heforu  the  protector,  spoke  and  I 
himself  with  as  great  impudence,  insolence,  pride  and  railing  as  (I 
you  ever  heard  of."* 


Probably  Venner  was  not  judicially  tried,  as  no  record  of 
been  found  by  me.     Cromwell,  who  had  been  dealing  with  ecclc 
tical  and  political  "cranks"  for  mauy  years,  doubtless  saw  in  thi 
cooper's  visionary  "railing"  the  evidence  of  a  mild  religions 
rather  tbau  a  royalist  conspiracy,  and  Veuuer  presumably  escaped 
with  a  few  morsels  of  friendly  warning  from  uIronsii  At  all 

events,  this  interview  served  to  keep  Mr.  Venner  and  bia  followet* 
quiet  for  three  years,  daring  which   time  the  great  Oliver  was  fol- 
lowed  by  the   little  Richard,  and  ho   iu  turn  by  the  motley  cabal 
which  finally  invited  Charles  Stuart  to  resume  the  throne  of  bis  an- 
cestors.    It  was  a  period  of  political,  moral  and  social  unrest,  and 
such  seasons  always  develop  or  afford  the  opportunity  for  mon- 
dootrinea  of  every  kind  to  develop  in  all  their  virulence.     It  gave  an 
opportunity  for  Venner  to  display  himself  onco  more  at  the  head 
hia  little  band  of  Coleman  street  conventiclers,  and  ho  held  up  tC 
them  in  his  public  address  that  the  restoration  of  the  Merry  Monarch 
was  a  distinct  elevation  of  au  Antichrist.     This  time  he  led  them  to 
their  fatal  "Dance  of  Death."     About  the  first  of  .January,  166] 
Fifth  Monarchists   had  been  approaching  a  climax.     Venner  was 
preaching  with  unrestrained  license  amid   fasting  and  prayer,  and 
they  determined  to  follow  his  ■  th   armed  and 

proclaiming  the  establishment  of  the  Kingdom  ol  Jesus,  and  killing 
those  who  made  any  resistance  to  their  programme.     Th

though  from  the  noise  they  made,  the  damage  they  did  to  life  and 
limb,  and  their  faculty  of  ubiquitousncss,  IVpys  thought  they  nam- 
bered  "at  least  500."*  Their  war  cry  was  ■'Live  King  Jesus,"  and 
following  a  banner  bearing  the  motto,  'For  the  Lord  God  ond 
ideon,"  they  rapidly  rushed  from  street  to  street,  interspersing 
their  war  cry  with  shouts  of  "Their  heads  upon  the  gates 1"  This 
startling  cry,  together  with  the  manner  and  temper  of  the  men,  had 
what  seetns  now  au  absurd  effect.  Everybody  fled  from  before  the 
vicious  band.  The  stupid  old  night  watchmen,  with  their  lanterns  on 
poles  to  light  the  dingy  streets,  abandoned  their  beats  to  the  shout- 
ing crew.  One  unfortunate  person,  wending  his  way  homeward,  was 
pounced  upon  aud  questioned  as  to  his  allegiance,  and  replied,  "I  am 
for  God  am!  Cine  Charles "t    The  Coleman  street  crew  proceeded 

iblish  the  Milleninm  by  murdering  the  man  instantly;  and  so

tbeir  mad  rush  towards  the  city  walls.    London  was  taken  by 

surprise,  and  before  it  could  be  aroused  to  resistance  half  a  dozen 

inhabitants  were  murdered  by  Vennor  and  his  followers.  The 
Fifth  Monarchists  had  now  a  reason  for  their  faith  that  Christ  was 

Invisible  leader  and  would  suffer  them  no  harm,  for  as  yet  they 
bad  not  lost  a  drop  of  blood.  But  they  did  not  gather  reinforce- 
ments as  expected,  aud  finding  that  the  train-bands  were  being  as- 
sembled to  meet  th. hi.  Venner  retreated  in  good  order  through  High- 
gale  to  Caen  wood,  then  a  dense  forest  without  the  city  walls,  near 
Haoipstead.  That  day  and  the  next  the  Lord  Mayor,  Sir  Richard 
Browne,  marched  about  the  city  at  the  head  of  the  municipal  troops 
and  volunt  tl.o  number   of  40,000,  and  failing  to  find  them 

pulled  down  the  meeting  bouse  in  Coleman  street.  Meanwhile  the 
"Fanatiques,"  as  Pepys  calls  them,  were  planning  fresh  onslaughts 

security  of  Caen  wood.     They  did  not  emerge  till  the  early 

rs  of  the  9th,  when  a  geueral  alarm  was  sounded.     Pepys  says, 

rose  and  went  forth,  where  in  the  street  I  found  everybody  in  arms 

doors."     He  provided  himself  with  a  pistol  and  strolled  down 

tchauge  with  a  friend,  and  learned  that  these  ''rogues"  had 

kill,  d  about  a  dozen  more  people  during  their  sally  into  the  city  that 

ngf  and  had  "put  the  King's  life-guards  to  the  run"  and  spread

ncsa  and  bravery,  bat  were  Gnally  overwhelmed  by  numbers  sac 
were  driven  from  street  to  street  till  they  look  their  last  stand  in 
house  which  they  had  entered  in  their  desperation.*  The  Lord 
Mayor,  at  the  head  of  the  city  militia,  did  not  approve  of  the  plan  of 
firing  in  upon  them,  perhaps  because  of  the  innocent  inmates  who 
would  be  thevi.  iim-  n  'such  a  coarse.  "At  last  one  Lambert,  a  sea* 
man.  persuaded  some  of  them  to  follow  him  and  get  up  on  the  top  of 
the  housc,"+  and  after  antiliog  the  roof  they  "forced  an  entry  that 
•  quarter  was  asked  or  aiven.  Venner,  who  waa  described 
as  a  powerful  man,  fought  like  a  fiend  incarnate,  killing  many  before 
1  exhausted  with  no  fewer  than  nineteen  wounds.  It  was  with 
great  difficulty  that  he  waa  kept  alive  for  the  punishment  that  was 
shortly  after  meted  out  to  him.  When  these  desperadoes  were  all 
killed  or  disarmed  they  wore  counted, and  numbered  thirty-one!  "A 
thing  that  never  was  heard  of,"  says  IVpv*.  -that  so  few  meu  should 
dare  and  do  so  much."  The  formality  of  a  trial  was  accorded  them 
immediately,  and  under  doe  process  of  law  they  were  arraigned  for 
murder  and  treason.  From  a  contemporary  tract  the  following  ao- 
count  of  the  legal  proceedings  sufficiently  describes  their  trial : 

"On  Thursday  (January  17)  twenty  of  the  prisoners  taken  in  arms  wars 
arraigned  together  in  justice-hall  in  the  Old  Bailey :  the  rest,  being  daoger- 
ously  wounded,  were  put  off  by  the  court  for  a  future  trial.  These  twenty 
arraigned  were  Thomas  Veuner,  Roger  iiodgkins,  Leonard  Gowler,  Joust 
Allen,  John  Pym.  William  Oxinau,  alias  Orsingham,  William  Asbwn, 
Giles  Pritchard,  Sunken  Fall,  John  Smith,  William  Corbet,  John  Dod, 
John  Raton,  Thomas  Harris,  John  Gardner,  Robert  Bryerly,  Richard  Mar- 
ten, John  Patshall,  Robert  Hopkins  and  John  Wells.  These  wore  broorfrt 
to  the  bar  together;  the  v.  men  had  chairs  allowed  thorn;  and  after 

the  Indictment  read  (for  murther  and  treason);  first  Thomas  Venner  was 
call'd,  who,  when  ho  bad  held  up  his  hand,  being  ask'd  whether  he  was 
guilty  or  not  guilty,  began  an  extravagant  aud  bottomless  discourse  about 
the  lifth  monarchy,  aud  his  having  had  ■  f  abuvn  twenty  years  in 

New  England  (wo'll  never  deuy  his  New  England  testimony,  which  ha* 
made  old  England  smart,  having  been  the  nursery  aud  receptacle  of  sedi- 
tion too  long;  though  Hugh  Peters  be  dead,  Gough  and  Whalley  are  there 
alive).  And  Venner  could  not  deny  he  was  guilty  of  the  late  rising,  but  not 
(forsooth)  of  treason,  intending  not  to  levy  war  against  the  King  (as  if  Is 
murther  both  King  aud  subject  were  no  treason,  and  to  destroy  their  own 
and  all  Christian  monarch*  by  open  force  were  no  levying  war  against  the 
hang).  Afterwards  he  confessed  he  was  partly  guilty  and  partly  not 
being  press 'd  by  tho  court  to  give  his  positive  answer,  whether  he  vra- 
iu  maunor  and  form  of  the  indictment,  ho  answered,  Not  guilty,  and  at  list 
submitted  to  a  trial  by  God  and  the  country."} 

The  following  is  some  of  the  essential  testimony : 

"At  the  meeting-house  in  Swan-alloy  in  Coleman  street,  Venner,  Turner 

aud  Cragg,  (which  two  latter  were  slaiu  in  this  rebellion)  f  irmisn

"Thus  ended,"  wrote  a  Jacobite  author  in  the  early  pa

fire  of  IG66,  and  introduces  the  ghosts  of  the  regicides  and  of  Ven* 
nor's  fanatics  as  rejoicing  during  the  conflagration : 


The  ghosts  of  traitors  from  the  Bridge  descend, 
With  bold  fanatic  speeches  to  rejoice, 

About  the  flro  into  a  dance  they  bend. 

And  sing  their  Sabbath  notes  with  feeble  voice. 


Of  the  family  of  Thomas  Vcnner  there  is  bnl  little  to  be  said,  as 
no  known  descendants  reside  in  this  country.  His  wife,  whose  name 
was  Alice,  may  have  come  over  with  him,  and  they  had  the  following 
children  baptized  at  Salem  and  Boston : 

i.     Thomas,  baptised  16  (3)  1641  (Salem), 
ii.     Hannah,  b.  16  (11),  baptized  2  (12)  1644  (Boston). 
iiL     Samuel,  b.  23  (11),  baptized  1  (12)  1649  (Boatou). 

As  these  three  wero  all  under  10  years  of  age  when  he  left  Boston, 
it  is  scarcely  possible  that  any  one  was  left  behind;  nor  is  the  name 
met  with  again  in  the  early  records.     His  wife  I   him,  and 

without  much    I  mbi  ii  the  in  the  following  entrj 

in  the  Parish  Register  of  St.  Dionis  Backchurch,  Loudon:     "Alice 

cr,  widow,  carried  away  to  be  buried  to  Tindell's  groan*. 
February  lb'.!*."     I  have  found  a  alight  reminiscence  of  the  fanati- 
cism in  Sowall's  Diary  under  date  of  January  SI,  1  "(•£»  when  he  re- 
cords:    -William  Parsons  of  88  years  is  buried     Wax  iu  the  fifth-

Of  the  origin  of  Vcnner,  the  following  satirical  account, 
from  one  of  the  ephemeral  pasquinades  of  the  Restoration 
may  servo  as  a  fitting  conclusion  Lo  the  story  of  the  fanatical  wit

An  agreement  was  entered  into  on  the  17th  day  of  September.  1038,  be- 
tween Griffin  Bowen  and  Margaret  hit  wife,  and  William  Bennett,  by 
which  Griffin  and  Margaret  Bowen  covenanted  to  sell  to  William  Bennett

Griffith  and  Margaret  Bowen  came  to  New  England  shortly  after  tbs 
date  of  the  foregoing  agreement.  They  may  hare  sailed  from  Bristol,  Eng- 
land, nnd,  probably,  brought  with  tliiin  five  or  six  child

6;  Eighteen  powuds  more  vpon  thu  twentieth  day  of  October  1642."1 

It  is  a  fortunate  tiling  that  this  Bond  was  recorded,  for  it  is  the  only

•on  an  apprentice,"  for  procuring  a  loan  of  £100  "upon  a  mortgage  of  • 
mill  known  by  the  name  of  Milton  Hill  lying  near  the  towne  ,,1"  Pem- 
broke ;"  that  John  Bowen  end  Edward  Wooldridge,  by  a  oonUoatkn  be- 
tween them,  had  never  paid  over  to  him  the  X100,  ulth  u jh  ir.  had  been 
promised  him,  and  they  had  got  into  their  possession  the  Milton  Mill. 

<  ■  rillith  Bowen  further  complains  that  John  Bowen  pretending  he  was 
engaged  for  him  (Griffith  Bowen)  and  Francis  Bowen  to  Mr.  Wool- 
dridgo  aud  others  iu  the  hum  of  £803,  prevailed  npon  him  to  assign  over 

this  "right  title  and  interest  of  in  and  to  a  certain  lease  Of  ninety 
rs  of  and  in  all  those  burgage  messuages  lands  tenements  and   lieredita- 
iu  scituate  lying  and  being  in  Treckbeck  the  Kill  Good  Lake  alias  wood 
Lake  Hodgiston  alias  Hogston  in  the  county  of  Pembroke."  Rod   that   the 
uid  Francis  Bowen  in   consideration  thereof  would  forthwith   pay   ••these 
several  sums  of  money  following  (that  iB  to  say)  To  Kdward  Wooldredge  of 
virivener  of  £1 16.     To  Lady  Vanghau  of  Turrahvyd  £l<39.     To 
ira  Jones  of  Swanzey  £30.     To  Conielius  Price  of  the  city  of  Lon- 
don £21.  16  and  the  further  sum  of  £20  unto  your  Orator.      And  your 
Orator  in  the  year   1666   Did    by  his    Indenture  assign  and  let  over  the 
premises  onto  the    said    Francis   Bowen    but    the    saiil   confederate*  have 
uid  the   sumB  of  money   abo  turned    wherefore  your   orator 

prays  that  the  said  Francis  Bowen  John  Bowen  and  Kdward  Wooldridge 
may  be  commanded  to  appear  before  the  High  and  Honorable  Court  of 
Chancery  to  make  a  true  and  perfect  answer  to  all  and  singular  the 
pWHee." 

Francis  Bowen  "gentleman"  in  his  answer  to  the  Bill  of  Complaint  of 
Griffith  Bowen,  states  that  "the  Complainant  did  leave  in  his  bands  some 
implements  of  household  stuff,  part  whereof  he  afterward  delivered  to  the 
Complainant  in  Loudon,  and  what  remains  he  is  willing  to  restore  provided 
the  Complainant  do  pay  the  cellarage  rent  of  the  chamber  where  they  re- 
main, not  being  in  bis  custody." 

Be  denies  that  the  deeds  to  the  lands  named  in  the  Bill  were  settled  upon 
him  in  trust,  hut  for  good  and  valuable  consideration. 

He  confesses  that  "  ho  did  enter  into  a  Bond  of  £600  penally  to  pay  unto 

the  Complainant  and  the  several  creditors  mentioned  the  several  debts,  and 

he  ha»  since  paid  a  great  part  of  them,  and  is  ready  to  pay  what  yet  remain." 

Be  «utes  that  "  lite  other  defendant,  John  Bowen  being  bound  with  him, 

and  security  for  the  several  sums  uf  money,  he  did  convey  and  aasigu  over 

■  raises  for  the  security  and  satisfaction  of  the  said  John  Bowen,  as  in 

be  ought  to  do.     Nevertheless,  he  is  willing,  if  the  Plaintiff  will  first 

and  satisfy  the  said  several  debts  and  keep  harmless  this   Defendant 

the  other  I1  John  Bowen,  to  reconvoy  the  said  premises   unto

son  and  Edward  Converse  (the  latter  the  builder  of  the  first  bou*e  in  the 
original  limits  of  Woburn)  preceding  him.  He  was  one  of  the  seven  mils 
members  from  the  church  at  Charleatown,  who  constituted  the  church  of 
Woburn  at  its  gathering.  Aug.  II  [21,  N.  S.J  16-12;  and  afterwards one of 
its  two  original  deacons,  till  his  decease.?  He  was  one  of  the  selectmen  of 
Woburn  for  21  years  in  succession.     He  died  in  Wobu  1605, 

tearing  his  widow,  Joanna,  a  son,  John  Mousali,  "  who  was  likewise  a  ducia-

ristian4  Remick  was  the  son  of  Christian*  Remick  of  Kastham,  Mass., 
rbo  was  a  son  of  Abraham*  Remick  of  Kittery,  Me.,  and  Eastham;  and 
im*  was  the  son  of  Christian*  Remich  of  Kittery,  the  emigrant  to 
'country. 

'•  Ciikibtias'  Rkmich,  the  emigrant,  was  born  in  1 631,  probably  in 
Holland  or  England,  as  the  name  is  of  German  extraction,  and  there 
are  many  of  the  name  now  living  in  Holland  and  Germany.  There 
is  a  town  named  Remich  in  the  Duchy  of  Luxemburg,  which  was 
so  named  in  the  time  of  the  Roman  occupation ;  and  probably  the 
Remicks  came  from  this  town.  Christian  came  to  America  when 
young,  as  he  was  living  in  the  town  of  Kittery,  Maine,  in  1651,  and 
contiiiiR-d  there  until  hi*  death,  about  1710.  He  was  one  of  the 
Proprietors  of  the  town,  and  was  granted  a  great  deal  of  land  in 
what  are  now  the  towns  of  Kittery,  Eliot  and  South  Berwick, 
amounting  to  about  500  acres;  the  most  of  which  still  remain  in 
possession  of  his  descendant*  and  name.

surveyor  fur  many  years,  treasurer,  selectman  (of  which  board  be 
was  chairman  most  of  the  time),  and  representative  to  the  legislature. 
There  are  many  of  his  letters  and  papers  still  preserved  io  posses- 
sion  of  courts,  towns  and  individuals.  Sir.  Walter  Lloyd  Jeffries, 
126  Beacon  St.,  Boston,  has  a  letter  which  was  written  by  Chrittiu.' 
as  chairman  of  the  hoard  of  selectmen  of  the  town  of  Kittery,  to 
John  Usher.  It  is  dated  June  29,  1688,  and  is  about  the  Uxa 
for  that  your  of  the  town.     His  occupation  was  thai  of  planter  sod 

surveyor.      Ho  married  about  1654.  Hannah ,    by   whom  lis

These  four  sons  of  Christian*  Remich  were  all  fairly  well  educate! 
for  the  times,  as  appears  by  their  letters  and  signatures;  sod  their 
descendants  have  filled  many  positions  of  usefulness  in  the  town.iute 
and  nation.  One  of  the  most  distinguished  was  the  late  Chief  Justice 
Morrison  Remich  Waite,  but  others  will  also  be  now  mentioixd. 
A  granddaughter  of  Joshua3  married  Gen.  Sullivan  of  the  Revolt 
tiou.  David*  Remick,  a  grandson  of  Jacob,*  was  a  captain  in  '-be 
Massachusetts  line  at  the  capture  of  Tieonderoga  and  Crown  Cttal 
in  1759,  aud  was  the  great-grandfather  of  Gen.  David'  Remick,  who 
served  in  the  Union  army.  1861-5.  Major  Timothy*  Remick.  wfco 
served  all  through  the  Revolutionary  war  in  Massachusetts  regi- 
ments, and  was  on  Washington's  staff,  was  a  grandson  of  Josfau' 
above.  Captain  Benjamin'  Remick,  who  served  in  the  Mi 
setts  and  Continental  navy  in  the  Revolution,  was  a  gr 
of  Jacob'  above.  Benjamin*  Remick  was  also  a  celebrated  oar 
constructor  and  shipbuilder  in  New  Hampshire  and  Maine.  Ah 
the  more  celebrated  of  bis  vessels  was  the  sloop  of  war  a  liant/ir" 
built  at  Kittery,  Maine.  She  was  the  first  man  of  war  command*' 
by  CapL  John  Paul  Jones,  and  sailed  from  Kittery,  Dec.  2. 
and  was  the  first  American-built  war  ship  to  show  the  national 
in  Europe,  where  it  was  saluted  by  the  Kit'iuh  Admiral,  Feb.  13 
1778,  in  the  Bay  of  Quiberon,  being  the  first  salute  in  Europe 
our  national  flag  by  a  foreign  power.  Capt.  Benjamin*  was  f 
master  builder  of  over  50  vessels  in  his  time.

seeins  to  have  been  a  sailor,  and  master  mariner  also;  ami  probably 

learned  the  art  of  navigating  from  bis  uuelo,  Abraham1  Kemick,  be-

or  at  Mr.  Thomas  Bradford's,  North  End,  Boston." 

Christian  Remick  painted  several  copies  of  this  view  of  the  landing 
of  British  troops  in  Boston  in  1768.     The  Now- England  Histori 
Genealogical  Society  and  the  Essex  Institute  each  owns  a  copy, 
one  belongs  to  W.  H.  Whitmore  of  Boston,  being  that  forme 
owned  by  Miss  Otis.     These  are  respectively  dedicated  to  Gib' 
Sharp.  Jonathan  Peal  and  John  Hancock.     These  pictures  are 
54  inches  by  9.     A  reduced  engraving  therefrom  is  in   Stark 'i 
"  Auiique  Views  of  Boston." 

A  picture  of  Boston  from  the  water,  showing  this  landing 
troops,  was  eugraved  by  Paul  Revere.  A  copy  of  it  colored  b] 
Christian  Remick,  hangs  in  the  Old  State  House  in  Boston;  it 
longs  to  ex-Mayor  Green.*  Remick  probably  did  not  make  msec 
money  at  this  business;  and  so  we  find  him  in  September,  1771, 
sent  on  shore  with  other  prisoners  at  Townsend  and  Sheepsoot  Ri1 
Maine,  from  II.  M.  S.  "  Rainbow."  He  had  undoubtedly  ' 
captured  from  some  privateer  or  Massachusetts  State  Teasel.

July,  1783,  when  bo  was  probably  living  in  Eastham,  Mass.  I  hart

This  completes  the  sketch  of  Christian*  Remick  and  his  relatives. 
There  may  be  some  mistakes  in  regard  to  relationship  and  dates, 
and  if  any  are  noted  the  writer  wishes  to  be  informed,  as  he  is  en- 
gaged in  writing  a  history  and  genealogy  of  the  Remick  family  in  the 
United  States,  and  would  be  very  glad  to  receive  any  thing  of 
interest  regarding  Christian*  Remir.h,  the  emigrant,  or  of  any  of  his 
descendants.  It  will  he  observed  that  the  writer  spells  some  of  the 
names  Remich  and  others  Remick;  the  rule  has  been  to  spell  it  as 
the  persons  mentioned  did,  although  the  emigrant  always  spelled  his 
name  with  a  final  h,  instead  of  k;  but  nearly  all  of  his  descendants 
•pell  it  with  the  final  k.

OBITUARY  OF  THE   HON.  THOMAS  HUBBAKD, 

[From  tbe  Mmtachutetu  Gauttt,  Boston,  Jal.r  26,  1773.] 

On  the  14  Instant  died,  and  on  Monday  lost  was  buried,  the  Hot 
THOMAS  HTTRIIARD,  Esqr:  in  the  "1st  Year  of  his  Age. 

Perhaps  no  Person  has  passed  through  Life  with  more  Reputation  to 
himself,  or  more  Usefulness  to  the  Public,  than  Mr  ffubbard:  Hi*  exemp- 
lary Conduct,  both  in  public  and  private  Life,  merits  universal  Approba- 
tion: He  was  not  insensible  that  every  particular  private  Conneetisa 
brought  with  it  its  particular  Obligations:  This  led  him  to  shew  himself 
the  kind  and  faithful  Ihi.liaml.  in  the  conjugal  Relation;  Asa  Parent,  at 
was  tender  and  indulgent:  To  his  Domestics,  he  was  generous  and  con- 
descending: To  his  Neighbors  obliging:  The  native  Integrity  of  ha 
Heart  made  him  strictly  just  and  upright  in  his  Dealings:  If  sincerity, 
Candor,  and  an  uncommon  Openness  of  Heart,  joined  with  a  real  DeaiM 
to  please  and  oblige,  are  some  of  the  most  solid  Principles  in  true  FriMaV 
ship,  he  justly  deserved  the  Character  of  one  of  the  best  of  Friend*. 

Merit,  like  his  could  not  long  lie  unnoticed:  Upon  his  first  Appearand 
on  the  Stage  of  Life,  be  was  introduced  to  some  very  important  civil  Peak 
in  his  native  Town:  These  were  discharged  with  such  uncommon  Fidelity 
and  Exactness  by  him,  as  to  open  the  Way  for  the  Honors  of  his  Country 
to  be  poured  on  him  with  a  liberal  Hand:  For  many  Years  luccesivfy, 
he  held  the  Chair  in  tbe  Honorable  House  of  Representative*  for  ika 
Province:  This  he  filled  with  so  much  Reputation  to  himself  a*  to 
the  Way  for  a  Seat  at  bis  Mujestys  Council  Board  where  be  continued 
to  the  Year  of  his  Death;  These  public  Places  be  considered  a* 
valuable,  because  he  might  become  more  extensively  useful:  He  felt 
Obligations  of  a  public  Character:  and  many  can  witness  with 
Assiduity  and  Diligence,  with  what  unshaken  Firmness  and  Integrity, 
acted  in  these  several  Departments. 

Foeesscd  with  a  benevolent  Heart,  he  was  a  Friend  to  Human 
ness,  and  therefore  was  a    Frieud    to  Learning  and   Science,  whid 
greatly  conduce  to  promote  it.     He  was  attentive  to  the  interest  of 
ing  in  general,  hut  the  College  in  this  Vlosaity  became  the  Object  of  at] 
peculiar  Affection  and  Regard:     He  considered  it*  Interests  as  ha  eW

For  many  Years  past  he  sustained  the  Office  of  Treasurer  for  that  rospect- 
ile  Society,  and  was  a  Member  of  the  Honorable  Corporation:  In  these 
he  ever  acted  with  the  Care  aud  Assiduity  of  a  Parent:  By  this 
neons,  the  public  Funds  happily  increased  under  his  careful  Hand:  Not 
content  with  acting  the  Part  of  a  College  Treasurer,  he  destinguisbod  him- 
self as  one  of  its  liberal  Benefactors:  Fie  made  it  the  Object  of  his 
Bounty  in  Time  of  Life,  aud  bequeathed  it  a  handsome  Legacy  at  his 
Death. 

But  if  there  was  any  one  Virtue  more  conspicuous  in  this  good  Man, 
than  another,  it  seems  to  have  been  the  Charity  and  Liberality  of  his 
Heart:  a  more  soft  aud  tender,  a  more  sympathizing  or  more  liberal  Dis- 
position, no  Man,  perhaps  ever  experienced:  He  employed  bis  Riches,  as 
he  did  his  Time  and  Talents  for  the  Good  of  Mankind:  Blessed  with  an 
opulent  Fortune,  and  a  liberal  Heart,  he  became,  in  a  sense,  a  public 
Almoner:  He  Vsl  in  the  must  proper  sense,  *' Eyes  to  the  Blind,  and 
Feet  to  the  Lame":  His  House  was  a  Temple  of  Hospitality:  Oft  did 
fill  the  Hands  of  the  Indigent,  oft  wipe  away  the  Tears  of  Poverty  and 
Distress  —  and  how  often  has  he  caused  the  "  Widows  Heart  to  sing 
for  Jo; 

We  should  by  no  means  do  Justice  to  his  Character,  unless  wo  attend  to 
to  the  mo6t  valuable  Part  of  it;  If  our  Lord  has  fixed  the  true  Criterion 
hits  Friends  and  Followers  in  saying  "by  their  Fruits  ye  shall  know 
Bm  "  he  justly  deserved  the  Character  of  au  exemplary  Christian:  His 
liud  was  deeply  impressd  with  a  sense  of  Religion  iu  early  Life;  He 
discovered  a  firm  Belief  of  the  excellent  Doctrines  and  Precepts  of 
iriatianity:  was  a  constant  aud  devout  Attendant  on  public  Worship; 
a  strict  Observer  of  the  Sabbath;  ever  kept  up  religious  Exercise*  m 
}  imily  and  Closet;  and  did  not  fail  to  instruct  his  Children  and 
enrants  in  the  important  Truths  of  the  Gospel  —  So  that  he  was  a  most 
valuable  Man  of  Church  as  well  as  State. 

His  Constitution  of  Body  was  originally  good;  but  a  universal  Langnish- 

H   and    Decay  of  Nature,  seemed  of  late  to  have  seized  him:     The 

tinacy  of  his  Disorder  baffled  the   Efforts  of  the  medical  Art;   He  was 

of  his  Danger;  hut  the  Principles  of  that  Religion  which  directed 

in  Life,  gave  him  the  most  substantial   SappOTt  iu  the  Hour  of  Death: 

calmly  acquiesced   in    the   Will   of    Heaven;  aud   we  have  reason   to 

is  in  full  Possesion  of  Heavenly  Bliss  and  Glory:     The  Death  of 

valuable  Person,  must  sensibly  affect,  not  ouly  his   Family  and   Friends, 

:  also  the  Church  and  Town  to  which  ho  belonged,  as  well  as  the  Public 

eaeral. 

lis  Remains  were  interred  with  every  possible  Mark  of  Esteem  and 
ct.  baring  a  very  respectable  Train  of  Followers,  and  a  numerous 

I   .S[iectators. 
Hubbard  sustained  the  office  of  Treasuror  of  Harvard  University  for 
»y  years,  with  great  honor  to  himself  and  benefit  to  that  institution. 
le  was  also  Deacon,  and  Treasurer  of  the  Old  South  Church  in  this 
;  holding  both  offices  for  a  long  period  with  great  judgement  and 

_ 
o  hi*  beneficence  and  care  The  Poor  Fund  of  that  Church  and  Society 

|  greatly  indebted  for  its  usefulness,  and  since  his  death  the  accuracy  of 

accounts,  eminently  contributed  in  the  late  trial  before  the  Supreme 

irt  of  Chancery,  towards  the  re-establishment  of  that  most  excellent 

rity,  aud  a  restoration  of  a  part  of  its  funds.

He  places  the  birth  of  John'  Sc.it  into,  his  marriage  1  mi.  and  death  ItTT. 
Peregrine1  White  was  bora  1620,  married  164  v  Sylrasaf' 

would  not  have  been  horn  before  164*.  and  in  that  case  would  have  been*-"'

h«M  he  died  In  1707.     His  mother-in-law  probably  accompanied  him

was  granted  17  July  1699.  to  John  Hussey.  principal  creditor. 

Kbenezer  and  Joseph  Perkins,  both  late  of  New  England,  husbandmen,  were

Perkins  of  Burlington  county,  plaster,  for  £106.  This  land  Jacob  divided  in 
1711,  amongst  Ids  three  sons.  Isaac  (the  eldest).  Jacob  and  Benjamin,  rewiring 
a  life  inure »t  therein,  and  while  no  will  or  administration  appear,  clrcommnow 
point  to  1731  as  abont  the  time  of  his  death.     Prior  U>  t  ■  a  Isaac  had 

removed  to  Kent  count  v.  Mil,,  where  Ik-  died  In  ■'■■  leaving  a  too

zabeth  (Bmpaon)  Wright,  b.  l  Robert  Powell  and  Mary 

n.t  were  married  at  the  house  of  Thomas  Bevell,  in  Burlington,  10  Det. 
IlMO,  Jacob  and  Elizabeth  Perkins  were  among  the  wlUiesses-  The 
suppositional  Alice,  who  married  John  M  anion  in  161W,  doubtless  belonged  to 
some  other  branch  "f  the  family.  The  birth  Of  Benjamin  In  1G9S  looks  ques- 
tionable, both  from  the  lapse  of  time  after  the  birth  of  his  sister,  and  from  the 
fact  that  in  the  churchyard  of  St.  Mary's  P.  E.  Church  at  Burlington  we  find  tat 
tombstone  of  a  Benjamin  Perkins,  who  d.  6  July  17M.  aged  73  years.  His  wife. 
Cox,  to  whom  he  was  married  about  13  June  1731,  d  H  ■  >>-t.  1781,  aged

ADDRESS

CHARLES  CARLETON  COFFIN,  A.M. 


The  year  1892  marks  the  completion  of  four  centuries  Bince  the 
discovery  of  this  Western  world.  That  event  was  duly  commem- 
orated by  the  formal  inauguration  of  the  Columbian  exhibition  at 
Chicago.  Such  an  exhibition,  upon  the  scale  contemplated  in  the 
metropolis  of  the  West,  which,  within  the  memory  of  some  of  us, 
was  only  an  insignificant  village,  is  a  grand  testimonial  of  the 
world's  progress,  not  only  during  the  four  centuries,  but  during  the 
present  century. 

In  1827,  the  late  Sylvester  Marsh  of  Concord,  N.  H.,  projector  of 
the  White  Mountain  Railroad,  began  to  supply  the  then  two  hundred 
inhabitants  of  Chicago  with  beef.  His  slaughter  house  was  a  grove 
of  oak  trees  near  the  site  now  occupied  by  the  Court  House  in  that 
city  of  Lake  Michigan. 

The  present  century  has  been  distinguished  above  all  others  by 
the  advance  of  the  sciences,  the  discovery  of  natural  laws,  and  the 
use  of  machinery  to  do  the  work  of  human  hands.  In  no  other  age 
have  there  been  such  marked  changes  in  the  conditions  of  life  affecting 
the  well-being  of  the  human  race.  It  has  been  distinguished  by  a 
recognition  of  the  rights  of  men,  by  philanthropic  effort  and  Christian 
charity. 

There  has  been  the  coming  of  a  new  era  in  civilization.  The  first 
want  of  a  human  being  is  something  to  eat.  The  earth  is  our  great 
mother,  and  yields  her  gifts  to  labor  in  tilling  the  soil.  When  the 
messengers  from  Agamemnon  came  to  Ulysses  they  found  him  cul- 
tivating his  glebe  with  milk-white  oxen  dragging  the  forked  branch 
of  a  tree.    A  few  years  ago,  while  visiting  Europe,  I,  myself,  drove 


10 

such  a  team  and  held  a  like  implement  in  what  was  once  the  ban- 
queting ball  of  Hadrian's  villa  at  Tivoli.  The  pointed  nose  of  the 
plowshare  was  the  tip  of  a  cow's  horn. 

Upon  the  banks  of  the  Nile  I  beheld  a  fellah  guiding  such  a 
plow  drawn  by  bis  wife  and  a  donkey,  the  plowman  occasionally 
prodding  the  team  with  his  goad.  Farther  eastward  I  witnessed  the 
Sudra  of  India  cultivating  the  poppy  fields  of  the  Ganges  with  sach 
an  implement  of  husbandry.  The  plow  of  the  Orient  has  undergone 
little  change  since  the  days  of  Ulysses. 

"  Civilization  is  the  economy  of  power,"  says  Baron  Liebig.  The 
beginning  of  the  new  era  was  coincident  with  the  improvement  of  the 
plow.  That  implement  in  my  boyhood  was  made  by  the  village 
carpenter  and  blacksmith.  Its  mould  board  was  cut  from  a  winding 
oak  tree,  and  was  plaited  with  iron  shoes  worn  smooth  upon  the  feet 
of  oxen.  Six  yoke  of  cattle  were  needed  to  draw  the  plough,  with 
a  man  riding  the  beam  to  keep  it  in  the  ground.  The  first  cast-iron 
plows  came  into  use  about  the  year  1835.  The  farmers  of  my  native 
town,  as  in  other  localities,  in  their  ignorance  and  conservatism 
were  reluctant  to  use  them,  fearing  the  iron  would  poison  the  soil. 

In  those  years  a  farmer  and  his  two  sons,  by  diligent  labor  with 
the  hoe,  could  plant  one  acre  of  corn  in  a  day.  It  was  my  duty,  as 
the  youngest,  to  drop  five  kernels  of  corn  and  a  pumpkin  seed  in 
each  hill.  To-day  the  farmers  of  Illinois,  riding  their  wheeled  plows, 
turn  the  furrows  on  ten  acres  in  a  day,  and  plant  fifteen  acres 
between  sun  and  sun. 

Before  the  dawn  of  the  new  era,  harvesting  was  done  by  a  sickle 
or  cradle.  If  done  with  a  sickle,  one  fourth  of  an  acre  of  wheat  could 
be  reaped  in  a  day.  If  the  grain  was  not  lodged,  one  acre  might  be 
harvested  with  a  cradle.  In  contrast,  the  husbandman  of  to-day 
reaps  and  binds  fifteen  acres  of  grain. 

The  memories  of  some  members  of  this  Society  go  back  to  the 
year  1830,  when  the  locomotive  began  to  supersede  the  stage-coach 
and  wagon.  The  stage-coach  has  almost  disappeared,  and  the  loco- 
motive spins  along  one  hundred  and  seventy  thousand  miles  of 
railway  in  the  United  States,  not  to  mention  the  mileage  in  other 
lands.  Sitting  in  the  white  light  of  the  new  era,  let  us  throw  a 
glance  at  ancient  history  as  narrated  by  Herodotus  and  Plutarch. 
If  we  are  to  credit  Herodotus,  the  army  of  Xerxes  numbered  two 


million  fighting  men;  and  tho  horde  which  invaded  Greece,  indu 
teamsters,  slaves  and  women,  numbered  five  million.     With  all 
respect  to  the  Father  of  History,  I  do  not  accept  the  account.    With 
the  appliances  at  the  command  of  the   Persians,  two  million  men 

§  could  not  have  marched  from  the  far  east,  crossed  llespont 

and  made  their  way  to  Greece.  It  was  not  an  army  with  a  gi 
train  of  baggage- wagon  a,  but  of  paok-niules.  Tho  average  horse 
attached  to  a  wagon  will  draw  one  thousand  pounds  on  a  good  road  ; 
the  average  pack-mulo  will  carry  five  hundred  pounds.  Then-  could 
not  have  been  sufficient  subsistence  within  tho  reach  of  Xerxes  to 
supply  anj  Boob  number  of  people  with  pack-mules. 

§  During  tho  late  Rebellion  ihe  Gonlcderntr.  army  in  Richmond, 
numbering  less  than  one  hundred  thousand,  was  several  times  put  on 
short  rations,  notwithstanding  the   railroad  facilities  of  that  city. 

»Wbi  M  Gem  ral  Grant  assumed  command  of  tho  Union  army  at  Chat- 
tanooga,  in  1863,  it  was  dependent  for  subsistence  upon  wagon 
trains  drawing  supplies  sixty-live  miles.  The  army  numbered  less 
than  sixty  thousand  men,  but  was  mi  the  verge  of  starvation.     The 

I  overworked  horses  and  mules  were  dying,  and  the  carcases  of  more 
than  ten  thousand  animals  were  strewn  along  Uie  road.  Had  it  not 
been  for  the  indomitable  energy  and  perseverance  of  General  Grant, 
the  army  would  have  been  compelled  to  evacuate  thai  point. 
The  Confederate  army,  with  railroad  trains  running  to  within 
twelve  miles  of  Bragg's  headquarters,  was  on  half  rations.  I  assume, 
therefore,  that  the  statement  of  Herodotus  was  beyoud  the  bounds  of 

^  possibility. 
We  are  informed  that  after  the  battle  of  Salami's,  Mardonius  was 
left  with   three  hundred  tl  Den   to  continue  the  war  with 

Athens.  Whence  did  such  an  army  obtain  its  food  ?  Not  by 
sea,  for  the  Persian  galleys  had  becu  destroyed  by  the  Athenians. 
When  we  study  the  campaign  of  Mardonius  in  connection  with  the 
physical  features  of  the  Grecian  Peninsula, — the  mountain  ranges,  the 
narrow  valleys,  and  the  poverty  of  the  adjacent  country, — we  arc 
compelled  to  conclude  that  no  foreign  army  of  any  such  magnitude 
could  have  subsided. 

In  like  manner,  I  question  the  correctness  of  Plutarch,  who  gravoly 
states  that  Alexander  encountered  six  hundred  thousand  Persians  at 
the  battle  of  Issus ;  and  that  Darius  gathered  a  second  army  of  W 


12 


hundred  thousaud  at  Arbela,  where  he  lost  three  hundred  thousand 
men.  while  Alexander  lost  but  the  hundred. 

Tli.'  history  taught  in  00  schools  narrates  that  when  Godfrey  of 
Bouillon  reviewed  his  army  of  Crusaders  at  Nice,  it  numbered  on? 
huTiflreiJ    thousand    bfH  and   six  hundred  thousand  footmen. 

We  ii«  to  remember  that  the  Crusaders  had  no  wagons.  The  me- 
chanical ability  of  Europe  at  that  period  could  hardly  have  constructed 
an  army  wagon.  The  multitude,  whatever  its  number-?,  obtained  it* 
provisions  by  pack-horses.  The  army  was  greater,  accord 
received  history,  than  the  entire  population  of  New  Hampshire  and 
Vermont.  With  ■grfanHw  us  ii  was  in  the  dark  ages,  and  with  a 
sparse  population,  wc  are  called  upon  to  believe  that  an  army  num- 
bering seven  hundred  thousand  could  have  made  its  way  from  France 
to  Jerusalem  1 

What  little  wc  know  of  the  Crusades  has  come  to  us  through 
religious     enthusiasts,    who    doubtless   magnified    the    number  sad 
powers  of  the  Crusaders ;  but,  when  wc  turn  the  head  light  of  the 
locomotive  down  the  track  of  time,  we  see  how  improbable  an

The  exhibition  at  Chicago  will  be  the  grandest  object  lesson  of  all 
the  ages,  illustrating  not  only  the  achievements  of  the  human  race, 
bnt  the  growth  of  the  Republic,  now  numbering  forty-four  States. 

Among  the  important  events  of  1892,  has  beeu  the  adoption  by 
twenty-six  States  of  a  new  method  of  balloting. 

The  year  has  also  witnessed  an  advancement  of  the  democratic 
idea  in  other  lands,  especially  in  Spain,  where  there  has  been  a  great 
enlargement  of  the  franchise. 

In  no  other  age  has  there  been  such  rapid  advancement  of  civilization 
as  in  Japan.  Only  thirty-eight  years  have  passed  since  the  United 
States,  through  Commodore  Perry  and  Mr.  Townsend  Harris,  con- 
cluded a  treaty,  which  opened  that  empire  to  civilization.  In  June, 
1875,  the  Mikado  inaugurated  the  first  Parliament,  the  members  of 
which  were  appointed  by  himself.  Since  then,  parliamentary  elec- 
tions have  been  held  there  as  in  this  country;  political  parties  have 
risen  there  as  here — the  People's  party,  the  Government  party,  and 
Independents.  A  new  Parliament  was  elected  in  Ki •bruary  last, 
composed  of  members  from  each  of  the  three  parties.  There  is 
absolute  religious  freedom;  public  schools  and  universities  have 
been  established;  while  railroads,  telegraphs,  telephones,  news- 
paper?, and  all  tho  appliauces  of  American  civilization,  are  employed. 
Since  the  establishment  of  steamship  lines  across  tho  Pacific,  we 
no  longer  think  of  Japan  as  belonging  to  the  Orient,  but  as  a  rising 
star  of  the  Occident.  Between  three  and  four  hundred  Protestaut 
churches  have  been  established.  The  ideas  common  to  this  country 
and  to  the  most  enlightened  countries  of  Europe  arc  being  adopted 
by  the  people  of  that  laud.  No  nation  is  advancing  more  rapidly 
toward  a  lofty  civilization. 

I  have  already  alluded  to  the  wide  spread  famine  in  Russia,  ex- 
tending over  fifteen  provinces  inhabited  by  twenty  millions  of  people. 
The  sympathy  and  philanthrophy  of  the  United  States  have  been 
exhibited  by  the  contribution  of  six  million  pounds  of  flour,  mainly 
the  <?ift  of  the  millers  of  Minneapolis.  The  act  will  over  stand  in 
vivid  contrast  to  the  barbarism  of  Russia,  which  today  is  driving  the 
Fews  from  that  empire  and  confiscating  their  property. 

In  our  own  country  the  rectitude  of  our  civilization  is  seen  in  the 

rorous  warfare  waged  against  tho  Louisiana  lottery,  and  the  sup- 
ression  of  the  society  of  the  Mafia  in  New  Orlcaus.    But  wo  may  not 


14 

flatter  ourselves  that  we  have  reached  the  highest  possible  virtue  W 
IB  the  present  law  against  the  Chinese  remains  upon  our  naliocal 
statutes.     It  is  to  be  hoped  that  the  incoming  Congress  will  recon- 
sider that  act. 

The  stability  and  vigor  of  Republicanism  in  France  is  seen  in  the 
determination  of  Parliament  to  bring  to  the  bar  of  Justice  all  par- 
ticipants in  the  Panama  scandal.  It  is  evident  that  the  Republican 
idea  is  daily  becoming  stronger  in  that  country. 

The  necrology  of  the  year  includes  Charles  H.  Spurgeon  of  Lon- 
don. No  other  religious  teacher  of  our  time  has  reached  so  maof 
men  as  he.  No  cathedral,  however  great  its  endowment,  or 
magni6ccnt  its  ritual,  has  regularly  gathered  such  numbers  as  were 
accustomed  to  assemble  in  Spurgeon's  chapel  on  the  banks  of  the 
Thames,  during  the  forty  years  of  his  ministry. 

By  the  death  of  Edward  A.  Freeman,  historic  literature  has  lost  a 
painstaking  devotee.  He  died  at  Alieanti,  Spain,  in  February,  after 
a  short  illness.  He  is  best  known  by  his  history  of  the  Norman 
Conquest  of  England.  At  the  time  of  his  death  he  was  coll 
materials  for  an  exhaustive  work  on  the  development  of  civilization 
in  the  Mediterranean  countries.  He  intended  to  include  Phoenician, 
Grecian,  Roman,  Gothic,  Byzantine,  Saracen  and  Norman  peoples. 
from  the  earliest  period  to  the  time  of  Charles  V.  We  arc  appalled 
at  the  magnitude  of  the  undertaking.  He  contemplated  that  it  would 
require  five  large  volumes.  Perhaps  no  historian  was  ever  mora 
painstaking  than  he  in  research.  He  cared  not  for  style  or  symmetry; 
yet,  notwithstanding  this  defect,  few  men  during  the  preseut  century 
have  made  more  valuable  contributions  lliau  he  to  historic  literature. 

Two  of  the  great  poets  of  the  century  bare  died  during  the  year: 
Whitticr  in  our  own  country,  and  Tennyson,  poet  laureate  of  Eng- 
land. It  Becms  to  me  that  Whiitier.  for  beyond  any  other  American 
poet,  has  left  the  Impress  of  his  genius  on  tU  Bit  poems, 

written  during  the  anti-slavery  agitation,  contrasting  slavery  and 
freedom,  awakened  the  Northern  people  to  the  injustice  and  bar- 
barism of  the  institution,  and  its  incompatibility  with  the  ideas  which 
brought  about  the  establishment  of  the  nation. 

Such  is  the  poem  beginning : 

*'  Our  F-'ll"v.  '  'HHtrymen  In  Chains! 
Slaves  In  the  land  ot  light  and  law  I 
Slav  ba  crouching  on  the  very  plains 
Where  rolled  the  storm  of  Freedom's  War!  " 


15 

He  employed  sarcasm  with  great  effect  in  the  poem  entitled 

THE  HUNTERS  OF  MEN. 
"  Have  70a  heard  of  oar  hunting,  o'er  mountain  and  glen, 
Through  cane-brake  and  forest, — the  hunting  of  men? 
The  lords  of  onr  land  to  this  hunting  have  gone, 
As  the  fox-hunter  follows  the  sound  of  the  horn ; 
Hark !— the  cheer  and  the  hallo !— the  crack  of  the  whip ! 
All  blithe  are  our  hunters,  and  noble  their  match, — 
Though  hundreds  are  caught,  there  are  millions  to  catch. 
So  speed  to  their  hunting,  over  mountain  and  glen, 
Through  cane-brake  and  forest, — the  hunting  of  men ! " 

Tender  is  the  pathos  of  the  Farewell  of  the  Slave  Mother  to  her 
daughter : 

"  Gone,  gone,— sold  and  gone, 

To  the  rice-swamp  dank  and  lone. 
Where  the  slave-whip  ceaseless  swings, 
Where  the  noisome  insect  stings, 
Where  the  fever  demon  strews 
Poison  with  the  falling  dews, 
Where  the  sickly  sunbeams  glare 
Through  the  hot  and  misty  air, — 

Gone,  gone, — sold  and  gone, 

To  the  rice-swamp  dank  and  lone, 

From  Virginia's  hills  and  waters,— 

Woe  to  me,  my  stolen  daughters ! " 

These  and  kindred  poems  came  home  to  the  hearts  of  thousands, 
quickening  conscience,  awakening  sympathy,  and  kindling  a  flame 
which  finally  gave  freedom  to  four  million  people  and  which  purified 
the  land.  Not  only  was  Whittier  an  apostle  of  freedom,  but  of  nature 
and  humanity.  No  other  eight  lines  by  any  American  poet  have  so 
modified  the  theologic  thought  of  the  century  as  those  in  the  poem 
entitled  the  "  Eternal  Goodness  " : 

"  And  so  beside  the  silent  sea 
I  wait  the  muffled  oar ; 
No  harm  from  Him  can  come  to  me 
On  ocean  or  on  shore. 

I  know  not  where  His  islands  lift 
There  f  ronded  palms  In  air ; 
I  only  know  I  cannot  drift 
Beyond  His  love  and  care." 

Tennyson,  in  like  manner,  has  wielded  great  influence  upon  the 
religious  belief  of  the  age,  especially  in  that  poem  which  for  a  period 


16 


of  seventeen  years  occupied  his  profoundest  thought.  "  Iu  Meinoriaa' 
is  a  poem  of  faith  and  hope.  I  can  but  think  it  will  ultimately  be 
regarded  as  the  foremost  religious  poem  of  the  ages. 

world  is  richer  because  Whitticr  and  Tennyson  have  lived. 
They  were  emphatically  poets  of  tho  new  civilization,  which,  while 
developing  the  force*  of  nature,  recognizes  the  truth  that  life  is  more 
than  meat,  and  the  body  than  raiment. 

Though  one  of  tho  richest  men  of  all  timo  has  died  during  the 
year,  and  has  not  in  any  way  recognized  his  obligation  to  his  fellow- 
men,  other  men  are  sotting  the  world  illustrious  examples  as  hene- 
factors,  and  as  executors  of  their  own  wills.  Baron  Hirsch,  in  caring 
for  the  exiled  Jews  of  Russia;  Philip  Armour,  of  Chicago,  by 
his  recent  benefaction,  for  the  promotion  of  science  and  industrial 
art;  and  Mr.  Rockefeller,  by  his  gifts  to  the  Chicago  University.— 
ure  exemplifying  the  motive  force  of  the  new  civilization. 

It  is  this  recognition  of  the  worth  of  humnn  beings  that  arch' 
future  with  radiant  light.  Meu  are  no  louger  regarded  as  mere  food 
for  powder;  neither  are  they  regarded  as  created  to  do  tho  bidding 
of  a  few  men.  The  new  civilization  recognizes  not  only  the  right 
of  every  human  being  to  make  the  most  of  himself,  but  regards  it  the 
duty  of  society  to  aid  him  in  his  efforts.  It  is  gratifying  to  know 
that  in  no  other  State  of  this  Republic,  in  no  other  section  of  the 
globe,  is  there  a  higher  recognition  of  the  obligations  of  society  to  the 
lowest  and  humblest  of  its  individual  members,  than  in  this  common- 
wealth. 

Hero  the  common  school  had  its  origin,  followed  by  the  high  school, 
the  academy,  the  college,  the  university,  schools  of  liberal  arts,  and 
public  libraries  free  to  rich  and  poor.  These  give  regal  power  and 
lease  of  life.  Education  for  all  is  the  grand  idea. 
■  Amid  tho  smoke  and  flame  of  Gettysburg,  America  annoui 
ilir  wondering  nations  that  thenceforth  we  were  to  be  not  a  confed- 
eracy, but  a  nation ;  that  meu,  irrespective  of  lineage,  race,  or  previous 
condition,  were  to  have  the  rights,  prh  ;>portunities  of 

citizenship. 

With  material  resources  far  surpassing  those  bestowed  upon  any 
other  people,  animated  by  these  ideas,  in  this  closing  decade  of  the 
nineteenth  century,  this  country  begins  its  unequaled  march  down  the 
ages. 


PROCEEDINGS. 


The  Annual  Meeting  of  the  New-England  Historic  Genealogical 
Society  was  held  in  Jacob  Sleeper  Hall,  No.  12  Somerset  Street, 
Boston,  on  Wednesday,  4  January,  1893,  at  3  o'clock  in  the  afternoon.

REPORT    OF   THE    COUNCIL. 

Phssk.vted  dt  Ezha  Hovt  Byikgton.  D.D. 


At  the  close  of  another  year  the  Council  submit  ■>  to  the  Soc 
its  Fourth  Annual  Report,  as  required  bj  the  By-Law*.  As  the 
chief  executive  Board,  the  Council  has,  for  the  time  being,  the  super- 
vision of  all  the  interests  of  the  .Society,  so  that  its  Animal  Report 
should  make  its  constituents  fully  acquainted  with  its  condition 
and  its  prospects,  and  with  the  methods  of  administration  that  have 
been  followed. 

It  is  but  just  to  the  Council  to  say  that  its  membership  has 
changed  almost  entirety  bhicq  the  beginning  of  the  year,  in  conse- 
quence or  the  resignation  of  a  large  proportion  of  its  members. 
Only  three  of  the  preseut  members  of  the  Council  were  OOOOl 

with  it  at  the  close  of  the  last  Annual  Meeting.    These  oha s  have 

interfered  more  or  less  with  the  work  of  this  Board.  It  takes  time 
for  uew  members  to  gain  familiarity  with  the  various  parts  of  thu 
work  of  the  Society.  There  has,  however,  been  entire  harmony 
in  the  Council,  and  the  reports  from  the  various  Committees,  which 
form  thu  basis  of  this  geueral  Report,  will  show  that  notwithstanding 
these  changes,  the  u.-iial  work  of  the  has  gone  steadily  for- 

ward, with  reasonable  efficiency  in  every  department  The  Library 
has  been  growing,  as  well  by  tho  purchase  of  new  books  as  by  the 
gifts  of  friends  of  the  Society;  a  large  number  of  persons  have  re- 
sorted to  it  for  historical  and  genealogical  information;  a  number  of 
historical  papers  have  been  read  at  the  stated  meetings  of  the  Society  ; 
some  of  the  questions  relating  to  the  investment  of  the  fund.-  >>f  tin- 
Society  have  been  settled;  the  Rolls  of  Membership  have  beea 
printed  and  distributed  among  our  members;  the  New-England 
Historical  and  Genealogical  Register  has  maintained  it-  repu- 
tation, and  has  been  regularly  issued.  Besides  superintending  this 
regular  work,  the  Council  has  under  consideration  a  number  of  plaus 
which  are  likely  to  increase  the  usefulness  of  tho  Society.

THE    FINANCES. 

At  the  first  nicuLino:  of  tlio  Council,  in  the  beginning  of  the  year, 
the  appropriations  w  for  the  different  branches  of  our  work. 

Th«  probable  income  was  estimated  at  thai  lime  at  $4,450;  thai 
from  invested  funds  $:>.()00.  an  I  lie  regular  ass 

Prom  this  sura  $3,080  was  appropriated.    These  appro;  I  were 

I  upon  the  average  expenditures  for  ten  years,  in  the  radons 
regular  departments.  This  left  the  sum  of  $1,370  to  meet  the  con- 
rinjiencics  that  are  sure  to  arise. 

In  addition  to  these  appropriations  for  current  expenses,  the  sum 
of  $1,082  was  appropriated  in  the  early  part  of  the  >a  the 

Wilder  Building  Fund.  This  is  in  addition  to  the  appropriations 
i'i  in  that  Fund  reported  in  previous  years  for  alterations  upon  the 
boHding,  and  for  other  purposes.  A  reference  to  the  reports  of  the 
Treasurer  shows  that  something  more  than  $0,000  has  been  paid 
JV. .ni  that  Fund  for  alterations  in  the  Society's  House,  and  for  other 
purposes  connected  with  the  arraugement  of  the  Library,  withiufour 
vears. 

Tho  report  of  tho  Committco  on  Finance  states  that  ■  the  Wilder 
Building  Kami,  secured  to  the  .Society  by  the  efforts  ol  the  Into  Col. 
Mm  -hall  P.  Wilder,  amounted  to  about  $25,000;  that  by  an  un- 
fortunate investment  Of  $10,000  of  this  Fund  in  bonds  ol  the 
Showalter  Mortgage  Company,  that  sum  has  been  reduced  to$~ 
It  is  supposed  that  this  is  all  that  will  be  obtained  from  those  bonds, 
making  a  loss  of  $7,500. 

"Another  SUOQ  of  $10,000  was  invested  in  the  mortgages  of  the 
Showalter  Company.  One  or  more  of  these  mortgages  has  beca 
paid  in  full,  amounting  to  $4,810.  A  mortgage  for  $l,C00  has  beru 
sold  for  $1,150,  making  a  loss  of  $450.  So  that  the  entire  Iosj,  so 
lar  as  it  has  been  ascertained  up  to  the  present  time,  is  $7,U5i 
the  umouut  received  in  cash  is  $8,460.  There  still  remain  in  the 
hands  of  the  Treasurer  several  mortgages  of  this  company,  which 
toL^.-th.-r  amount  to  $3,590,  front   which  it   ia  hoped  a  rabie 

.sum  may  yet  bo  collected."  To  the  loss  from  the  principal  of  the 
1  iin.l  which  has  been  stated  above,  should  be  added,  of  course,  th« 
large  amount  of  interest  which  was  due  on  these  bonds  and  mort- 
and  which  has  not  been  paid. 


21 

The  Committee  on  Finance  also  report  that  the  general  expenses 
of  the  Society  the  past  year  have  exceeded  the  income  by  $675.08. 
This  deficit  is  more  than  accounted  for  by  the  fact  that  the  insurance 
for  five  years,  of  the  Society's  House,  has  been  paid  this  year, 
amounting  to  $476.19;  and  that  the  printing  of  the  Rolls  of  Mem- 
bership this  year  has  cost  $598.69. 

Some  important  changes  have  been  made  during  the  year  in  the 
investment  of  the  permanent  funds  of  the  Society,  with  a  view  to 
greater  security.  The  following  statement  is  from  the  Committee  on 
Finance : — 

GENERAL   INVESTMENT   ACCOUNT. 

Mortgages  in  the  City  of  Boston $25,700.00 

Boston  Safety  Deposit  &  Trust  Co 29,000.00

Fremont,  Elkhorn  &  M.  Valley  R.  R.  Bonds      ....       3,000.00 

Western  Mortgages 3,590.00

THE    LIBRARY. 

The  condition  of  the  library  has  been  improved  in  some  important 
respects  since  the  last  Annual  Meeting.  At  that  time  the  work  of 
refitting  the  upper  hall  for  the  use  of  the  library  was  almost  com- 
pleted, and  about  three  thousand  volumes  had  been  already  placed 
upon  its  shelves.  The  new  Librarian,  Mr.  Henry  W.  Cunningham, 
completed  the  removal.  This  hall  now  contains  about  twelve 
thousand  volumes.  These  include  a  large  proportion  of  the  books 
that  are  most  commonly  called  for.  The  new  hall  has  proved  very 
convenient  and  attractive. 

The  remainder  of  the  library  is  in  much  the  same  condition  which 
was  stated  in  the  reports  presented  one  year  ago.  The  books  that 
were  then  stored  on  the  first  floor  have  been  placed  upon  the  shelves 
in  the  second  story,  but  they  have  not  been  arranged  or  catalogued. 
The  pamphlets  of  several  years  past  are  stored  in  a  room  on  the 
first  floor,  without  arrangement,  and  without  a  catalogue.  The 
Council  has,  however,  adopted  a  plan  which  it  is  expected  will  make 
it  practicable  to  re-arrange  these  parts  of  our  library,  and  catalogtio 


22 


tin  in.  The  next  year  should  suffice  for  Wringing  the  whole  man  of 
hooks  and  pamphlets  into  order,  and  making  them  availahle  for  Ac 
purposes  of  tho  library. 

The  Committee  on  THE  LIBRARY,  the  Rev.  Henry  A.  Hazen,  D.D* 
Chairman,  reports : — 

That  the  Committee  has  examined  the  book  catalogues  and  pub- 
lishers' announcements,  with  the  purpose  of  selecting  such  books  as 
were  most,  important  and  germane  to  the  objects  of  the  Society.  The 
Committee  has  expended  the  sum  of  $345.85  in  its  purchases.  This 
work  was  under  tho  special  charge  of  Mr.  Henry  E.  Woods  until  his 
resignation  in  the  middle  of  the  year.  Since  that  time  the  duty  lias 
been  performed  by  the  Librarian,  who  is  ox-officio  a  member  of  tho 
Committee.  The  Committee  has  also  cooperated  with  the  Librarian 
in  arranging  for  the  preparation  of  a  new  and  more  complete 
e;ii.:ili>!_'ui'  of  our  books.  The  work  was  begun  in  October  last 
Mr.  Charles  A.  Cutter,  Librarian  of  the  Boston  Athcntenni,  has  very 
courteously  consented  to  give  his  personal  attention  to  the  work,  and 
it  is  going  on  under  his  direction.  The  Committee  are  satisfied 
that  we  arc  likely  to  have  a  much  better  catalogue,  in  all  respects, 
than  we  have  ever  before  had,  although  the  expense  is  likely  to  b» 
considerable. 

The  Committee  deem  it  fitting  to  say  a  very  hearty  word,  io  recog- 
nition of  the  services  of  the  late  Librarian,  Mr.  Cunningham,  who 
served  the  Society  the  first  six  months  of  the  year.  Tie  gave  much 
lime  to  the  work,  and  by  his  uniform  courtesy,  as  woll  aa  by  his 
efficient  management,  he  placed  the  Society  under  special  obligations, 
and  he  deserves  our  hearty  thanks.  Mr.  Dean  wa9  elected  to  fill  the 
vacancy,  on  the  retirement  of  Mr.  Cunningham,  and  he  has  discharged 
the  duties  of  his  office,  in  addition  to  his  editorial  work,  with  rare 
efficiency  and  wisdom. 

The  Committee  on  Publication,  of  which  Mr.  Albert  II.  iloyl  is 
Chairmau.  reports : — 

That  progress  is  being  made  in  printing  the  fifth  volume  of 
Memorial  Biographies  of  deceased  members  of  tho  Society.  Also. 
thai  the  number  of  the  Nbw-England  Historical  and  Genealogical 
Register  for  January,  1893,  has  been  printed  and  distributed.    The 


23 


Committee  desires  to  call  the  special  attention  of  tho  members  of 
the  Society  to  the  importance  of  sustaining  tho  Registeh  by  their 
personal  subscriptions,  and  of  promoting  its  circulation  among  those 
of  their  acquaintances  who  are  interested  in  historical  and  genea- 
logical research.  The  price  of  the  Register  ($3.00)  per  year  barely 
covers  tho  OOSt  of  printing,  while  tho  marketable  value  of  the  suc- 
cessive volumes  increases  year  by  year.  Under  tho  very  able 
editorial  direction  of  John  Ward  Dean,  A.M.,  the  Register  has 
become  an  authority  of  the  highest  character  in  the  departments  to 
which  it  is  specially  devoted. 

The  Committee  on  English  Research  reports,  through  its 
Chairman,  Mr.  William  S.  Applcton  : — 

That  the  various  instalments  of  Mr.  Waters's  Genealogical  Glean- 
ings in  England  have  appeared  regularly  in  the  New-England 
Historical  and  Genealogical  Register;  but  with  each  succeeding 
year  the  need  of  a  permanent  fund,  the  income  of  which  shall  be 
sufficient  fur  carying  on  these  researches  in  England,  becomes  more 
and  more  apparent.  The  Committee  feel  it  their  duty  to  again  im- 
press upon  the  minds  of  the  members  of  the  Society,  and  all  others 
interested  in  the  work,  tho  fact  that  only  in  this  way, — by  the  estab- 
lishment of  such  a  fund, — can  the  undertaking  bo  placed  on  a  per- 
manent basis,  and  these  investigations  conducted  in  a  manner  worthy 
of  their  great  importance.  The  pressing  need  of  the  Society  to-day 
is  a  Research  Fund. 

Among  the  important  events  of  the  year,  for  onr  Society,  has  been 
the  publication  of  the  Rolls  of  Membership,  which  has  been  accepted 
by  the  Council  as  official.  The  preparation  of  this  Roll  reflects  the 
highest  credit  upon  tho  members  of  the  Committee,  who  were  en- 
gaged for  moro  than  thrco  years  upon  it,  and  who  have  completed 
ihcir  work  with  so  much  care  and  accuracy;  and  also  upon  our 
Society.  The  Committee  well  deserve  the  special  thanks  of  the 
Society 

On  the  completion  of  their  work  in  May  last,  the  Committee  were 
discharged  at  their  own  request.  The  Council  has  since  appointed 
Mr.  George  K.  Clarke,  who  had  served  as  Chairman  of  the  Commitlco 
on  the  Rolls  of  Membership,  to  complete  the  work,  which  had  been 
ir  some  time  in  progress,  of  preparing  and  publishing  an  additional 


24 

of  Present  Members.  Mr.  Clarke  reports,  that  "  before  the  type 
was  distributed,  the  names  of  the  present  members  were  separated 
from  the  others,  and   proofs  printed.     This   List  was  correct 

r  1.  1 802,  and  clectrotvped,  by  direction  of  &  sub-committee 
->f  tin-  Publishing  Committee,  to  whom  the  subject  had  been  referred." 
Mr.  Clarke  adds,  that  '-the  Rolls  will  be  ready  for  publication  as 
an  the  middle  of  January.  Some  corrections  of  tlie  plates  are 
necessary,  and  it  is  proposed  to  perfect  the  list  to  the  close  of  the 
year  |»2.M 

The  Committer  to  Assist  tub  Historiographer  reports  : — 
That  il  has  furnished   daring  the  last  year  eleven  memorials  of 

deceased   members,   which    have   been   published  in   the    Register. 

Other  necrologies  arc  in  progress. 

The   Committee   on    Memorial    Biographies  reports    thi 
Mr.  John  Ward  Dean : — 

That  the  Council  has  ascertained  that  the  income  of  the  Towne 
Memorial  Fund  is  sufficient  to  pay  the  cost  of  a  new  volume,  and  has 
voted  that  the  printing  be  done  under  charge  of  the  Committee  on 
Publications.  The  printing  of  the  fifth  volume  has  already  com- 
menced. The  Committee  repeat  the  statement  made  by  them  some 
years  ai.">,  that  in  the  volumes  already  published,  especially  in  the 
earlier  memoirs,  they  experienced  difficulty  in  finding  persons  baring 
sufficient  information  to  prepare  even  a  brief  sketch  of  the  life  of 
some  of  the  deceasod  members,  the  lapse  of  time  having  removed 
those  who  might  have  assisted  in  recalling  tho  necessary  inc 
and  dates.  For  this  reason,  they  have  decided  not  to  wait  till  the 
memoirs  are  Deeded  Gw  printing,  but  to  solicit  the  preparation  of 
them  while  the  events  and  impressions  are  fresh  in  the  memory  of 
surviving  relatives  and  acquaintances.  In  accordance  with  this 
decision  the  Committee  has  continued  to  collect  memoirs,  and 
materials  for  memoirs,  and  has  already  a  large  collection  on  band. 

The  Committee  on  the  Cabinet  reports  through  Mr.  Herbert  J. 
Hnrwood : — 

That  it  has  held  one  meeting,  but  that  there  has  been  nothing  re- 
quiring the  attention  of  the  Committee,  and  that  no  action  baa 

taken. 


25 

The  Committee  on  Donations,  by  its  Chairman,  the  Rev.  William 
C.  Winslow,  D.D.,  LL.D.,  reports : — ; 

That  no  meeting  of  the  Committee  ha3  been  held  this  year,  partly 
because  of  the  changes  that  have  been  going  on  in  the  library,  and 
partly  on  account  of  the  absence  of  some  of  the  Committee. 

The  Committee  on  Heraldry  reports  through  its  Chairman, 
Mr.  Henry  E.  Woods: — 

That  it  has  held  two  regular  meetings  during  the  past  year ;  that 
from  time  to  time  it  has  answered  many  heraldic  queries,  some  from 
remote  States  and  from  England ;  that  it  has  given  considerable 
information  regarding  the  identity  of  Seals  and  paintings  of  Arms ; 
and  that  it  trusts  it  has  proved  itself  of  some  value  to  the  Society 
and  to  inquirers. 

The  Committee  on  Papers  and  Essays  reports,  through  its  Chair- 
man, the  Rev.  David  Greene  Haskins,  S.T.D.,  the  following  list  of 
gentlemen  who  have  read  historical  papers  before  the  Society  during 
the  year  1892:— 

Feb.  3.    William  W.  Bailet,  LL.B.,  of  Nashua,  N.  IL,  on 

"  Matthew  Thornton,  one  of  the  Signers  of  the  Declaration  of 
Independence." 
Mar.  3.    William  Gray  Brooks,  LL.B.,  of  Boston,  on 

"  The  Battle  of  Religious  Toleration ;  a  Study  of  the  Mary- 
land Charter." 
April  6.    Ru  Rev.  Thomas  M.  Clark,  D.D.,  LL.D.,  Bishop  of  Rhode

"  The  Pilgrim  and  the  Puritan  in  New-England  History." 

These  reports  include  all  the  important  Committees  of  the  Council, 
and  they  give  a  condensed  statement  of  the  work  that  is  going 


26 

forward  in  connection  with  onr  Society.  In  the  early  part  of  the 
year  the  Council  decided  to  dispense  with  some  of  their  Committees, 
and  the  number  has  been  still  further  reduced  in  the  later  months  of 
the  year. 


REPORT  OF  THE  LIBRARIAN. 

Presented  bt  John  Ward  Dean,  A.M. 


The  Librarian  would  report  that  the  library  continues  to  be  much 
Used  by  members  and  others  interested  in  the  study  of  history — par- 
ticularly local  and  family  history.  The  accessions  during  the  year 
have  added  much  to  the  usefulness  of  the  library.  The  incomes  of 
the  Sever,  Russell  and  Kidder  funds  have  been  used  to  supply  the 
wants  of  our  readers,  that  have  not  been  met  by  the  liberal  gifts  of 
our  friends. 

The  additions  in  1892  are: 

By  gift 872  volumes 

By  purchase 138        « 

510        " 
Adding  to  these  the  estimated  number  in 

January,  1892,  as  given  in  the  last  report       20,000        " 

We  have  a  total  of 20,510        M 

We  have  also  received  by  gift 566  pamphlets 

By  purchase 8         ** 

569         « 
Adding  to  these  the  estimated  total  in  1892       50,000         " 

We  have 50,569         " 

Besides  these  accessions,  there  have  been  thirty  flies  of  genea- 
logical manuscripts  purchased,  and  six  manusoripts  presented  this 
year.  Donations  of  one  relic,  two  framed  portraits,  one  medal,  three 
coins,  two  drawings  of  arms,  four  bullets,  one  map,  three  charts,  two 


28 

photographs,  and  sixty-nine  newspapers  and  newspaper  cuttings  of 
historical  and  biographical  articles,  have  been  received. 

The  relic  named  above  is  the  thighbone,  as  is  supposed,  of  Major 
Andrew  McClary,  who  lost  his  life  after  the  battle  of  Bunker  Hill, 
Jane  17,  1775.  This  relic  was  exhibited  by  the  late  William  H. 
Montague,  Esq.,  at  the  first  meeting  for  forming  this  Society,  October 
18,  1844,  as  is  stated  in  the  Register  for  October,  1890,  page  346, 
and  has  been  presented  to  the  Society  by  Mr.  Montague's  daughter, 
Mrs.  Jennie  Montague  Morris  of  Philadelphia.  The  other  relic 
exhibited  at  that  meeting,  the  ball  taken  from  the  body  of  Gen. 
Joseph  Warren,  was  presented  to  the  Society  by  Mr.  Montague  daring 
his  life  time.  A  framed  portrait  in  crayon  of  Mr.  John  Merrill 
Bradbury,  a  benefactor  to  the  Society  from  his  widow,  Mrs.  Sarah 
A.  Bradbury,  is  among  the  articles  received.  Many  of  the  books  and 
pamphlets  presented  are  rare  and  valuable.

Voted,  That  the  Treasurer  be  authorized  to  amend  his  last  annual  report 
in  relation  to  the  funds  of  the  Society,  so  far  as  to  take  from  the  Wilder 
Subscription  Building-Fund  the  sum  of  $2,595.55,  which  sum  is  the  profit 
on  certain,  investments  sold  by  the  Society,  belonging  to  other  funds. 

Voted,  That  there  be  established  a  fund  to  be  known  as  the  Donors'  Free 
Fund,  which  shall  consist  of  all  separate  donations  of  money  to  the  Society 
of  one  hundred  dollars  aud  upwards,  which  have  been  used  for  the  current 
expenses  of  the  Society,  and  that  a  sum,  equal  to  the  aggregate  of  these 
donations,  lie  transfered  Irom  the  profit  arising  from  the  sale  of  said  invest- 
ments to  make  the  principal  of  said  fund. 

Voted,  That  the  remainder  of  said  $2,595.55  be  added  pro  rata  to  the 
principal  of  the  several  funds  as  they  existed  at  the  time  said  investnieuts 
were  sold. 

Voted,  That  the  Treasurer  enter  in  his  books  the  name  aud  amount  of 
each  fund,  separate  and  distinct;  but,  when  not  otherwise  directed  by  the 
donor,  the  investments  may  be  general  and  applicable  to  all  the  funds. 

Voted,  That  the  principal  of  the  Wilder  Subscription  Building-FunJ 
shall  be  the  sum  finally  received  from  the  sale  of  the  Showalter  bonds  aud 
mortgages,  together  with  any  part  of  said  fund  never  invested,  which  has 
not  been  used  for  building  purposes. 


33 

Voted,  That  the  principal  of  the  Wilder  Subscription  Building- Fund  shall 
never  be  expended,  except  by  a  vote  of  the  Society ;  and,  so  long  as  it 
remains  unappropriated,  it  shall  be  treated  as  a  fund  and  invested  as  are 
other  funds  of  the  Society,  and  the  income  used  for  any  purpose  not  incon- 
sistent with  the  terms  of  the  donations. 

Voted,  That  the  foregoing  votes  be  printed  with  the  annual  proceedings 
of  the  Society,  in  connection  with  the  report  of  the  Treasurer.
