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

JANUAliy,  1906. 
JAMES  SWIFT  ROGERS,  A.B. 

By  Almon  Danporth  Hodges,  Jr.,  A.M. 

It  was  a  heroic  deed,  undertaken  with  no  desire  of  reward  or 
hope  of  glory,  but  simply  for  the  purpose  of  saving  the  lives  of  two 
unknown  black  men.  Planned  on  the  spur  of  the  moment,  and  ex- 
ecuteil  at  once  in  the  face  of  what  seemed  to  others  certain  death, 
it  was  successful  through  its  brilliant  audacity.  So  far  as  I  can 
learn,  it  was  never  alluded  to  afterwards  by  the  man  who  performed 
it,  and  only  after  his  death  were  the  details  made  public. 

The  First  South  Carolina  Volunteers  —  the  first  slave  regiment 
mustered  into  the  service  of  the  United  States  during  the  late  civil 
war  —  was  on  duty  at  Port  Royal  Ferry  in  South  Carolina.  Port 
Koyal  Island  was  held  by  the  United  States  troops  with  headquar- 
ters at  Beaufort,  while  the  main  land  was  occupied  by  the  Confede- 
rate forces.  Before  the  war  the  main  thoroughfare  between  Beaufort 
and  Charleston  had  been  the  Shell  Road,  of  which  the  ferry  across 
the  Coosaw  River  formed  a  part.  At  the  ferry  the  road  projected 
on  each  side  as  a  causeway  into  the  river,  ending  in  a  wharf  or  pier 
for  the  use  of  the  ferry-boat.  The  ferry  had  been  abolished  by  the 
war,  the  piers  were  in  damaged  condition,  and  the  river-channel 
formed  a  barrier  between  the  opposing  picket  lines.  Occasionally 
at  night  scouting  parties  in  boats  ventured  across  the  river,  but 
these  adventures  were  difficult  and  dangerous.  To  cross  by  day 
was  simply  to  invite  sure  death  or  captivity. 

Early  one  morning  two  dusky  forms  amid  the  piles  at  the  end  of 
the  opposite  causeway  were  descried  by  some  of  the  Union  pickets. 
Their  frantic  signals  indicated  that  they  were  fugitive  slaves,  anx- 
ious to  pass  the  barrier  between  slavery  and  freedom  and  unable  to 
swim  across  the  stream  ;  but  their  case  seemed  hopeless,  and  while 
some  watched  for  developments,  the  rest  went  about  their  allotted 
duties.  Suddenly  there  appeared  on  the  river  a  dug-out,  propelled 
boldly  towards  the  further  side  by  a  Fetleral  officer,  who  calmly 
paddled  up  to  the  causeway,  took  the  fugitives  on  board  and  began 
the  return  journey.  When  the  canoe  had  reached  mid-stream,  it 
was  discovered  by  the  enemy  and  saluted  with  a  storm  of  bullets. 
These,  however,  failed  to  reaQh  their  mark,  and  the  boat,  continu-

ing  steadily  on  its  course,  gained  its  haven  in  safety.  Evidently  a 
passage  in  broad  daylight  was  considered  such  an  impossibility  by 
the  Confederate  pickets  that  they  had  ceased  their  vigils  for  a  mo- 
ment, and  this  exact  moment  was  seized  by  the  daring  officer  for 
his  chivalrous  deed. 

To  do  such  an  act  for  the  benefit  of  another  without  reference  to 
the  possible  cost  to  himself,  and  to  do  it  in  a  simple,  unostentatious 
manner,  was  characteristic  of  James  Swift  Rogers.  He  was  then  a 
captain,  and  in  the  abundant  vigor  of  youthful  manhood.  He  was 
fuU  of  life  and  full  of  the  joy  of  living.  There  were  loving  parents 
and  friends  awaiting  his  return  to  his  home  and  his  college.  Above  all, 
there  was  one  who  had  agreed  to  keep  herself  only  unto  him  so  long 
as  both  should  live.  The  future  held  out  the  brightest  allurements, 
and  there  was  so  much  to  live  for.  Yet  when  a  call  for  help  came, 
his  helping  hand  was  at  once  extended  in  complete  forgetfulness  of 
self.  And  as  it  was  then,  so  it  was  throughout  his  fife.  Quiet, 
self-sacrificing  friendship  was  inborn  in  him.  Perhaps  he  inherited 
it  from  his  Quaker  ancestors. 

John*  Rogers  of  Marshfield,  whose  father  bore  the  same  name, 
joined  the  Quakers  about  1660  and  suffered  accordingly,  as  is  set 
forth  in  the  Scituate  Friends'  Records.  He  and  his  descendants 
for  five  generations  persisted  in  the  faith.  His  son  Thomas'  and 
his  grandson  John^  were  born,  married  and  died  in  this  same  town 
of  Marshfield.  Stephen*  Rogers,  of  the  next  generation,  moved  to 
Danby,  Vermont,  and  there  his  son  Aaron*  Rogers  was  born,  mar- 
ried Dinah  Folger,  and  had  by  her  twelve  children.  Aaron's  eighth 
child,  Elisha  Folger'  Rogers,  was  born  June  20,  1813,  married 
December  12,  1835,  Elizabeth  Mitchell,  and  had,  at  Danby,  two 
children  :  Jethro  Folger^  Rogers,  bom  in  1836,  who  died  in  infancy ; 
and  James  Swift®  Rogers,  born  March  28,  1840,  the  subject  of  this 
sketch.  * 

While  a  young  child,  James  Swift  Rogers  was  taken  by  his  pa- 
rents to  New  York  City ;  and  thence,  when  he  was  about  nine  or 
ten  years  of  age,  to  Worcester,  Mass.,  where  his  uilble  Dr.  Seth 
Rogers  had  a  successful  sanatorium.  Here,  at  his  first  coming,  he 
met  two  persons  whose  idealizing  influences  began  at  once  and  lasted 
through  life  :  —  the  girl  who  became  his  wife ;  and  the  clergyman 
who  modified  his  theological  creed,  intensified  his  convictions  regard- 
ing right  and  wrong,  increased  his  hatred  of  slavery,  became  his 
captain  and  then  his  colonel  during  the  civil  war,  and  was  his  friend 
always. 

Rogers  entered  Harvard  College  in  1861.  The  bugles  of  war 
were  then  calling  men  to  arms.  His  parents  were  Quakers  and 
strongly  opposed  to  fighting,  and  he  had  been  bred  in  this  faith ; 
but  when  the  chance  offered  for  striking  a  blow  at  slavery,  he  joined 
the  army.     He  enlisted  in  Company  C,  51st  Massachusetts  Volun-

teers,  his  fiiend  and  mentor  Thomas  Wentworth  Higginson  being 
captain,  and  became  corporal  and  sergeant.  When  his  captain 
was  made  colonel  of  the  First  South  Carolina  Volunteers,  he  took 
the  commission  of  captain  in  this  regiment.*  To  join  this  regiment 
of  black  soldiers  required  considerable  moral  courage.  There  was, 
among  the  officers  and  soldiers  of  the  North,  a  strong  prejudice 
against  the  experiment  rff  enlisting  the  slaves.  It  was  not  believed, 
except  by  a  few,  that  these  blacks  would  have  the  courage  to  face 
their  former  masters ;  to  arm  them  was  considered  unwise,  and  to 
associate  with  them  as  their  officers  was  thought  degrading.  More- 
over, the  Confederate  authorities  had  declared  that  these  troops 
would  be  regarded  as  outside  of  the  ordinary  rules  of  warfare, 
would  be  shot  or  hung  when  captured.  But  all  these  considerations 
were  to  him  only  stronger  demands  for  his  help,  and  he  acted 
promptly  and  cheerfully  in  response.  How  well  he  performed  his 
duties,  how  readily  he  adapted  himself  to  the  requiremqnts  of  a  dif- 
ficult position,  how  efficient  he  was  in  training  and  leading  his  men 
whom  he  inspired  with  respect  and  affection  for  himself —  this  his 
commanding  officer  told  at  his  funeral. 

Edward  Earle  was  a  prominent  citizen  of  Worcester,  of  which 
city  he  became  mayor.  He  and  his  wife,  Ann  Barker  Buffiim,  were 
members  of  the  Society  of  Friends.  Both  were  strong  characters 
and  maintained  stoutly  their  religious  tenets,  which  included  hatred 
of  slavery,  and  also  of  war.  Their  only  child  was  Anne  Buffum 
Earle.  That  the  man  who  was  to  marry  their  daughter  should  be- 
come a  soldier  was  to  them  a  sorrow,  which  became  an  unbearable 
pain  when  he  transferred  from  a  nine-months'  regiment  to  one  en- 
listed for  three  years.  So  they  applietl  for  his  discharge  to  the 
commanding  general  at  Port  Royal,  who  promptly  declined  to 
release  ''  the  best  captain  "  of  the  regiment,  but  offered  instead  to 
promote  him  to  be  major.  Then  they  appealed  to  the  Governor  of 
Massachusetts,  and  to  the  authorities  at  Washington.  So  resolute 
and  persistent  were  their  efforts,  backed  by  all  the  influence  they 
could  command,  that  they  finally  obtained  positive  orders  from  the 
War  Department,  in  compliance  with  which  Captain  Rogers  was 
obliged  to  resign;  and  late  in  the  year  1863  he  returned  to  his 
studies  at  Harvard,  where  he  was  graduated  in  18G5. 

For  the  graduating  class  at  Harvard  the  college  course  terminates 
practically  with  Class  Day.  As  a  loyal  member  of  his  class,  Ropjers 
could  not  leave  Cambridge  until  after  that  day.  But  at  the  earliest 
possible  moment — the  26th  day  of  June — he  married  his  long-chosen 
wife,  and  the  bridal  journey  lasted  until  Commencement  Day,  when 
he  returned  to  Harvard  to  receive  his  degree  of  A.B. 

After  graduation,  Rogers  resided  in  Worcester,  where  he  en- 
gaged in  business,  and  where  his  three  children  were  born.  These 
were : — lidward  Earle  Rogers,  the  "Class  Baby,"  that  is,  the  first-

ers, born  July  28,  1868,  a  brilliant  scholar,  who  was  graduated  at 
Harvard  in  1890,  receiving  there  the  degrees  of  A.B.,  A.M.,  and 
Ph.D.,  and  also  a  Fellowship,  studied  at  Gottingen  University  in 
Germany,  and  died  October  2,  1895,  just  after  beginning  his  du- 
ties as  Instructor  in  Chemistry  at  Harvard ;  and  Annie  Rogers, 
bora  March  3,  1872,  who  married  on  June  6,  1895,  Charles  Davi- 
son Knowlton,  M.D.,  and  is  now  living  in  Boston. 

In  1878,  Mr.  Rogers  moved  to  Red  Rock,  Pennsylvania,  and 
for  some  years  was  engaged  in  oil-producing  in  Pennsylvania,  New 
York  and  Kentucky.  In  1882  he  went  to  Rockport,  Massachu- 
setts ,  where  he  was  in  the  employ  of  the  Rockport  Granite  Com- 
pany. In  1889  he  went  to  Saratoga  Springs,  New  York,  and 
thence  in  1893  to  Chicago,  in  both  places  superintending  the  erec- 
tion of  gas-generating  plants,  having  patented  many  devices  relating 
to  fuel  gas.  In  1899  he  came  to  Boston,  where  he  and  his  wife 
made  their  home  with  •their  married  daughter.  Here  he  became 
connected  with  the  Boston  Book  Company,  and  was  manager  of 
The  Green  Bag^  a  periodical  devoted  to  legal  matters. 

Being  a  man  of  superabundant  vigor  and  endowed  with  sturdy 
health,  having  inherited  from  his  ancestors  of  five  generations  those 
principles  of  love  of  righteousness,  abhorrence  of  injustice,  and  duty 
towards  one's  neighbor  which  are  typified  by  the  name  of  Friend, 
which  is  the  proper  designation  of  the  Quaker,  he  was  always  tak- 
ing upon  himself  some  work  of  kindness  and  usefulness  in  addition 
to  his  business  duties.  While  living  in  Worcester  he  joined  the 
Worcester  Agricultural  Society,  the  Worcester  Horticultural  So- 
ciety, the  Worcester  County  Mechanics  Association  (he  was  skilled 
in  the  use  of  tools) ,  and  the  Grand  Army  of  the  Republic ;  was 
commissioned  Justice  of  the  Peace,  and  elected  member  of  the 
Common  Council ;  was  made  a  trustee  of  the  Worcester  County 
Institution  for  Savings,  and  Treasurer  of  the  Lyceum  and  Natural 
History  Association.  In  Pennsylvania  he  joined  the  Masons  and 
the  A.  O.  U.  W.,  and  served  on  tlie  School  Board  of  Foster  Town- 
ship. While  in  Rockport  he  was  member  of  the  School  Board  and 
joined  the  ililitary  Order  of  the  Loyal  Legion.  In  Chicago  he  was 
connected  with  the  city  Civil  Service  Commission.  Notable  for  its 
judicious  and  generous  helpfulness  was  his  work  for  the  Associated 
Charities,  in  aiding  the  needy,  encouraging  the  weak  and,  if  need 
be,  reproving  the  wayward. 

While  in  college  he  was  awarded  a  prize  for  excellence  in  reading, 
and  his  ability  in  this  direction  was  afterwards  utilized  by  giving 
public  readings  in  Massacliusotts,  Pennsylvania  and  New  York. 
He  was  an  occasional  contributor  to  periodical  publications,  and  in 
1884  wrote  for  the  benefit  of  the  Grand  Army  a  military  drama 
entitled  "  Our  Regiment,"  which  was  acted  by  several  posts.     In

1903  he  met  Major  Caleb  Huse,  formerly  of  the  United  States 
Army,  who  in  1861  cast  his  fortunes  with  the  South,  and  had  been 
eent  to  Europe  as  Purchasing  Agent  by  the  Confederate  Govern- 
ment. Mr.  Rogers  persuaded  the  major  to  write  out  some  of  his 
interesting  experiences,  and  published  them  in  1904,  under  the 
title  of  "  The  Supplies  for  the  Confederate  Army ;  how  they  were 
obtained  in  Europe  and  how  paid  for." 

When  living  in  Chicago,  Mr.  Rogers  became  interested  in  the 
study  of  genealogy,  and  with  his  usual  energy  undertook  to  compile 
the  histories  of  all  the  Rogers  families  in  the  United  States — a  •tre- 
mendous task,  as  he  was  well  aware.  He  printed  in  the  Register 
of  January,  1901,  a  brief  account  of  Hope  Rogers  of  Connecticut 
and  his  descendants.  In  1902  he  published  James  Rogers  of  New 
London,  Conn.,  and  his  Descendants.  Two  years  later  he  carried 
through  the  press  The  Rogerenes,  some  hitherto  unpublished  annals 
belonging  to  the  Colonial  History  of  Connecticut,  a  book  whose 
publication  must  have  been  postponed  indefinitely  without  his  gene- 
rous aid.  Working  diligently,  he  accumulated  the  most  valuable 
collection  of  facts  extant  concerning  many  families  of  his  name. 
His  manuscripts,  neatly  arranged  and  excellently  indexed,  have 
been  given  by  his  widow,  in  accordance  with  his  expressed  desire, 
to  this  Society. 

He  joined  the  New  England  Historic  Genealogical  Society  in 
1899,  and  at  once  became  one  of  its  most  valued  members,  being  a 
frequent  donor  to  the  library  and  serving  most  efficiently  on  many 
committees.  In  January,  1905,  he  was  elected  a  member  of  the 
Council,  and  held  this  position  at  the  time  of  his  death. 

His  end  came  suddenly,  as  he  had  always  hoped.  On  a  Tluirs- 
day  afternoon,  with  but  slight  warning,  and  at  the  end  of  a  busy 
day,  he  was  unexpectedly  stricken  down.  That  evening  the  opera- 
tion for  appendicitis  was  perfonned,  but  too  late.  He  evidently 
was  aware  that  the  summons  had  come,  and  at  intervals  jotted  down 
generous  and  kindly  directions  for  the  disposal  of  material  not  fully 
covered  by  his  will.  Through  his  thoughtfulness  at  this  time,  our 
Society  has  received  the  valuable  gift  of  his  genealogical  collections. 
On  Sunday,  April  9,  1905,  his  life  of  usefulness  was  quietly  ended. 

No  account  of  this  man's  life  could  be  complete  without  reference 
to  her  whose  silent  influence  was  so  strong  and  so  helpful  during 
forty  years  of  married  happiness.  Her  unvarying  steadiness  of 
character,  her  unfaltering  cheerfulness  and  unfailing  love  carried 
them  both  safely  through  the  tragedies  of  life,  mitigating  the  sorrows 
and  enhancing  the  joys  which  come  to  mortals.  Thrice  death  struck 
at  those  dearest  to  her — her  children  and  her  husband — while  to 
the  outside  world  she  maintained  her  sweet  serenity  and  her  fiiith. 
If  her  heart  was  broken,  she  gave  no  sign  and  made  no  complaint. 
Yet  three  months  after  her  husband's  death,  on  July  1,  1905,  she 
followed  him  across  the  silent  river.

INSCRIPTIONS  FROM  GRAVESTONES  IN  CHRIST 
CHURCH,  NORWICH,  CONN, 

Ck)mmunicatcd  by  Georgb  S.  Porter,  Esq.,  of  Norwich. 

Christ  Church  (Episcopal)  of  Norwich,  Conn.,  was  organized 
in  1747,  and  its  earliest  house  of  worship  was  opened  two  years 
later.  The  present,  and  fourth,  church  building  of  the  society 
occupies  the  site  of  the  first,  and  stands  on  a  lot  on  Washington 
street  which  was  donated  by  Capt.  Benajah  Bushnell  nearly  one 
hundred  and  sixty  years  ago.  The  churchyard  is  preserved,  but 
the  head  and  foot  stones  which  formerly  indicated  the  graves  of 
departed  members  were  long  since  removed  and  placed  in  the  cellar 
of  the  church,  where  they  are  cemented  into  the  walls  and  flooring. 
This  underground  room  is  dark  and  gloomy,  and  searchers  have 
difficulty  in  deciphering  the  inscriptions,  all  of  which  are  here  repro- 
duced.

MR.   PATRICK  FALCONER  OF  NEWARK,  N.  J.,  AND 
HIS  DESCENDANTS. 

Compiled  by  Hon.  Ralph  D.  Smtth  and  communicatod  by  Dt.Bbsnabd  C.  Stbiner. 

1.  Patrick^  Falconer  came  to  America,  probably  from  Scotland, 
about  1684.  He  is  said,  in  his  epitaph  written  by  his  friend  the  Rev.  Abra- 
ham Pierson,  Jr.,  to  have  "  suffered  much  for  Christ,"  but  when  and  where 
does  not  appear.  It  has  been  conjectured,  however,  that  it  was  in  Scot- 
land, during  the  religious  difficulties  of  that  period. 

In  "  The  Model  of  Government  of  the  province  of  East  New  Jersey  in 
America  and  encouragement  of  such  as  design  to  be  concerned  there," 
published  in  Edinburg  in  1685,  reprinted  in  Whitehead's  "East  Jersey," 
is  a  letter  from  Patrick  Faulkner  to  Maurice  Trent,  dated  "  Elizabeth 
Town,  East  Jersey,  28th  October,  1684."  This  is  among  "  letters  to  dif- 
ferent individuals  in  Euroi)e  (Scotland)  from  sundry  individuals  in  Amer- 
ica." The  letter  was  written  shortly  after  his  arrival,  and  praises  the 
country  highly.  He  also  speaks  of  having  travelled  through  Maryland 
and  Pennsylvania.  Where  Mr.  Falconer  spent  the  three  or  four  interme- 
diate years  after  the  date  of  this  letter  does  not  appear.  In  1688,  Pat- 
rick Falconer,  then  of  Woodbridge,  was  administrator  of  Robert  Adam. 
The  next  year,  1689,  he  was  at  New  Haven,  where  he  married  Hannah, 
daughter  of  Governor  William  Jon«s  and  grand-daughter  of  Governor 
Eaton.     They  were  both  about  30  years  of  age  at  that  time. 

Patrick  Falconer  could  not  have  remained  long  at  New  Haven,  for 
June  20,  1690,  he  was  at  Newark,  New  Jersey,  administrator  on  the  estate 
oi  Samuel  Kitchel,  who  left  a  will  dated  Feb.  11,  1683,  but  whose  wife 
Grace,  named  as  executrix,  had  died  before  him ;  and  he  appears  as  a 
witness  to  the  will  of  David  Ogden,  Dec.  26,  1691,  but  when  the  will  was 
proved,  Feb.  27,  1691-2,  "Patrick  Falconer  being  deceased,"  the  other 
witness  testified  alone.  He  was  called  *'  merchant."  On  his  gravestone 
in  the  old  burying-ground  is  this  inscription :  "  Here  lyeth  the  body  of 
Patrick  Falconer,  who  died  January  27th,  1691/2,  aged  33  years."  In 
his  will,  recorded  in  Trenton,  New  Jersey,  he  provided  that  his  daughter. 


22  ^      Descendants  of  Patrick  Falconer.  [Jan. 

Hannah,  be  maintained  till  she  arrive  at  the  age  of  eighteen,  and  then  that 
she  should  have  fifty  pounds  in  money ;  his  wife,  Hannah,  was  to  enjoy  the 
whole  estate  in  any  part  of  Europe,  New  England,  New  Jersey,  or  else- 
where, and  to  be  sole  executrix  with  power  to  sell,  etc. ;  his  honored  father 
Wm.  Jones,  and  his  loving  brother  John  Jones  to  be  overseers,  and  his 
"  brother  James  Falconer  to  be  the  overseer  to  take  care  to  preserve  what 
I  have  in  Europe  for  my  wife  and  child,"  also  James  Emmett  to  be  over- 
seer to  assist  in  settling  accounts  in  New  York,  Long  Island,  New  Jersey, 
or  elsewhere  west  of  the  Hudson  River. 

Sometime  subsequent  to  Patrick  Falconer's  death,  a  John  Falconer  of 
London  gave  a  power  of  attorney  to  David  Falconer  to  act  and  do  for  him 
in  East  Jersey  as  a  proprietor,  but  there  is  no  evidence  that  either  of  these 
were  relatives  of  Patrick. 

It  appears  that  Mrs.  Hannah  Falconer  sold  her  interest  in  her  husband's 
property  and  returned  to  New  Haven,  where  she  was  in  1695.  Subse- 
quently she  married  James  Clark  of  Stratford,  and  removed  to  that  place.

Communicated  by  Gshald  Fotheroill,  Esq.,  of  New  Wandsworth,  London, 

England. 

It  was  formerly  the  duty  of  an  official  to  keep  a  strict  account  of  all 
persons  leaving  the  shores  of  England  or  Ireland,  and  this  was  no  doubt 
at  all  times  carried  out  in  a  more  or  less  perfect  way. 

As  regards  England,  these  were  all  burnt  by  a  fire  at  the  Custom  House, 
London.  In  some  few  cases,  however,  duplicates  had  been  made  for  various 
official  reasons,  and  these  were  printed,  so  far  a»  then  discovered,  by 
Hot  ten.* 

In  making  researches  among  the  British  Archives,  I  have  discovered 
others.  One  series  of  these  has  been  printed  and  is  called  a  ^^  List  of  Emi- 
grant Ministers  to  America."  Others  I  hope  to  print  from  time  to  time 
in  the  pages  of  the  Register. 

The  following  are  lists  of  passengers  who  left  Ireland  between  the  years 
180.3-1 80G,  and  contained  in  a  British  Museum  Manuscript  numbered 
Add.  35932. 

The  following  is  an  example  of  a  list,  affidavit  and  certificate,  showing 
that  some  trouble  was  taken  in  making  the  records : 

Thomas  Ryan  Tiitrick  Ryan 

John  Cronnan  Mich'  Enright 

John  Daly  Pat  Ilennesy 

Edward  Kellerman  maketli  oath  that  the  above  is  a  true  list  and  descrip- 
tion of  the  passengers  engaged  to  go  in  the  Ship  Numa  to  America,  and 
that  not  any  of  tlieni  is  or  are  atriticers,  artisans,  manufacturers,  seamen 
or  seafaring  men,  and  that  he  will  not  take  any  other  passengers  but  those 
expressed  in  the  above  list,  and  that  this  list  is  a  duplicate  of  the  original 
one  transmitter!  to  the  Lord  Lieutenant  and  Council  save  and  except  six 
of  the  passengers  mentioned  therein  who  are  not  to  ])roceed. 

Sworn  l>efore  the  Custom  House,  |  Edw'*  Kei.lkuax.

tion above  discribed.  Liuierick,  3  Ap'.,  1803.

STEPHEN  BURTON  OF  BRISTOL,  R.  I.,  AND  SOME  OF 
HIS  DESCENDANTS. 

By  Miss  Susan  A.  Smith,  of  Dorchester,  Mass. 

1.  SxErHEN^  Burton,  although  spoken  of  as  a  wealthy  and  highly  edu- 
cated man,  always  holding  prominent  office,  and  active  in  the  public  in- 
terest, has  left  very  little  of  himself  upon  record.  Savage  says  he  was 
"  probably  son  of  Thomas."  In  Mr.  Waters's  "  Gleanings,"  Vol.  1,  page

Apostle,  London,  widow,  dated  Nov.  1,  1639,  proved  Jan.  3,  1639-40,  in 
which  she  mentions  her  "  son-in-law  Stephen  Burton  and  my  daughter 
Martha  his  wife,"  but  no  connection  between  this, Stephen  and  the  Thomas 
named  by  Savage,  or  the  Stephen  of  this  article,  has  been  proved. 

The  first  evidence  found  of  the  presence  of  Stephen^  in  Boston  was  in 
1670,  when  he  was  witness  to  a  deed.  In  1673,  John  Cranston,  of  New- 
port, R.  I.,  sold  land  in  Boston,  bequeathed  to  him  by  the  will  of  William 
Brenton  of  Rhode  Island,  to  "  Stephen  Burton  of  London  Junior,  mer- 
chant, now  resident  of  New  England,"  and  from  that  tinie,  for  over  ten 
years,  he  had  interests  in  Boston.

In  1680,  Stephen  Barton  joined  with  <<  John  Walley,  Nathaniel  Byfield 
and  Nathaoiel  Oliver,  men  of  large  estate,"  in  the  purchase,  from  Plymouth 
Colony,  of  Moimt  Hope,  the  seat  of  the  Great  Sachem,  Phillip,  which  has 
been  called  the  '^  reward  "  to  the  Colony  for  the  memorable  conquest,  but 
evidently  he  did  not  immediately  take  up  his  residence  at  Mount  Hope,  for 
in  1 681  he  was  constable  at  Boston. 

Oct.  28, 1681,  at  the  sitting  of  Plymouth  Colony  Court,  at  the  request 
of  the  four  purdiasers  of  Mount  Hope,  it  was  granted  that  it  should  be  a 
town,  to  be  called  **  Bristoll,"  and  the  first  **  Recorder  "  of  the  new  town- 
ship was  Stephen  Burton.  Any  one  who  examines  the  first  book  of  Deeds 
at  Taunton,  kept  by  him  as  Recorder,*  cannot  fail  to  notice  the  beautiful 
handwriting  and  the  scholarly  elegance  of  its  arrangement 

In  1689,  ''Lieut"  Burton  was  one  of  the  selectmen  ''to  wait  on 
coort,"  and  he  was  also  one  of  the  Town  Council  "  to  join  with  the  Com- 
mission officers  by  way  of  ordering  concerns  in  ezegencies  relating  to  mili- 
tia affairs."  He  was  one  of  the  first  Deputies  from  Bristol  to  the  General 
Court,  and  served  five  times,  1685,  '86,  '89,  '90,  and  '92. 

In  1690  he  was  appointed  by  Plymouth  Court  to  look  after  the  "reve- 
nues and  Customs  "  of  Bristol  County,  and  "  to  give  despatches  to  vessels 
and  see  that  Acts  of  Navigation  be  observed  and  render  account,"  but  in 
1692  complaint  was  made  that  Stephen  Burton  neglected  his  duties,  be- 
cause of  "head  trouble,"  and  his  death  is  recorded  July  22,  1693.  It  is 
said  that  he  resided  on  Burton  Street  in  Bristol,  and  that  the  house  was 
destroyed  by  the  British  in  1777. 

He  married  first,  Abigail,  daughter  of  Gov.  William  and  Martha  Bren- 
ton  of  Rhode  Island,  who  died  at  Bristol  in  1684;  and  married  second.

A  DORCHESTER  REUGIOUS  SOCIETY  OF  YOUNG 

MEN. 

Commanicated  by  Albert  Matthews,  A.B.,  of  Boston. 

On  December  25,  1698,  there  was  formed  at  Dorchester  a  "  Society  of 
Young  Men  mutually  joining  together  in  the  Service  of  God."  The  So- 
ciety apparently  had  no  distinctive  name,  and,  though  it  seems  to  have  ex- 
isted for  a  century  and  a  half,  there  appear  to  be  no  allusions  to  it  in  the 
histories  of  Dorchester,  There  are,  however,  three  sources  of  information 
in  regard  to  the  Society.  In  1779  there  was  printed  at  Boston,  "  Early 
Piety  recommended.  A  Sermon,  Preached  Lord*s-day  Evening,  February 
Ist,  1778,  to  Two  Religious  Societies  of  Young  Men  in  Dorchester.  By 
Moses  Everett,  A.M.,  Pastor  of  the  Church  in  that  Place.  Published  at 
the  Request  of  the  Societies  and  others."  In  the  course  of  this  sermon 
Mr.  Everett  says : 

It  is  a  happy  consideration,  that  amidst  all  the  degeneracy  of  the  times,  the 
ancient  religious  Societies  of  young  Men,  are  upheld  among  us.  That  there  are 
still  so  many  who  are  willing  to  own  a  regard  for  the  interests  of  religion, 
while  it  is  so  generally  disregarded  and  contemned  by  the  youth.  Such  socie- 
ties, are  indeed  worthy  a  particular  share  in  the  affection  of  all  good  men. 
...  They  are  honorable.  .  .  .  They  are  greatly  ornamental  to  reli- 
gion .  .  .  and  tend  much  to  the  advancement  of  its  dignity  and  interests 
(p.  24). 

These  words  are  of  too  general  a  nature  to  be  of  much  value,  and  the 
fact,  as  stated  on  the  title-page,  that  this  sermon  was  preached  to  two  so- 
cieties, rather  intensifies  than  clears  up  our  ignorance.  But  in  1799  there 
was  printed  at  Charlestown  ''A  Discourse,  Addressed  to  the  Religious  So- 


1906.]  A  Dorchester  Beligious  Society.  31 

ciety  of  Young  Men  in  Dorchester,  on  the  Termination  of  One  Hundred 
Years  from  the  Time  of  its  Establishment.  By  the  Rev.  Thaddeos  Mason 
Harris.*'     The  Introduction  to  this  discourse  is  as  follows : 

QN  December  26, 1698,  a  number  of  young  persons,  actuated  by  a  love  for  re- 
ligion, and  a  desire  to  assist  and  promote  each  other's  advancement  in  the 
offices  of  piety,  agreed  upon  *  a  private  weekly  meeting,  for  religious  exercise, 
and  the  good  improvement  of  the  evening  of  the  lord*s  day.* 

About  eleven  years  after,  as  the  members  had  become  numerous,  and  it  was 
inconvenient  to  assemble  in  one  place,  it  was  deemed  advisable  to  divide ;  and 
one  branch  of  the  society  continued  to  meet  in  the  south  part  of  the  town,  and 
the  other  in  the  north. 

The  society  is  composed  of  serious  and  well  disposed  youths,  who  continue 
members  till  they  form  family  connections,  or  leave  the  town.  There  is  no 
recollection  of  a  single  instance  of  the  expulsion  of  an  individual  for  ill  conduct, 
or  of  any  one  having  desired  to  leave  the  society  from  dislike.  The  utmost 
harmony  and  fraternal  affection  have  prevailed  in  their  meetings :  and  the  insti- 
tution hjEis  been  promotive  of  the  happiest  effects  in  encouraging  and  assisting 
youthful  piety  and  practical  godliness. 

That  a  society  constituted  of  persons  whose  dispositions  and  principles  are 
apt  to  be  mutable,  and  easily  affected  and  estranged  by  the  dissipations  of  early 
life,  should  have  been  zealously  supported  through  a  whole  century^  is  a  circum- 
stance which  must  forcibly  excite  our  admiration.  On  the  termination  of  this 
period,  the  young  men  of  the  elder  branch  of  the  society  requested  that  a  dis- 
course might  be  delivered  to  them  in  public,  to  commemorate  the  establishment 
of  the  Institution,  and  to  further  its  views.  In  compliance  with  this  request 
the  following  was  written  and  delivered,  and  to  gratify  the  society  it  is  now 
published  (pp.  3,  4).* 

Our  third  source  of  information  is  a  manuscript  written  on  parchment 
DOW  owned  by  Mr.  Charles  J.  Means  of  Boston,  a  son  of  the  late  Rev. 
James  H.  Means  of  Dorchester  —  the  successor  of  the  Rev.  John  Codman. 
This  parchment,  which  could  not  have  been  written  earlier  than  1707, 
contains  the  Articles  agreed  upon  December  25,  1698,  and  the  names  of 
about  three  hundred  and  fifty  members,  many  of  them  autograph  signa- 
tures.f     It  is  printed  at  the  end  of  this  paper. 

But  while  our  knowledge  of  this  particular  Society  is  meagre,  it  may 
not  be  without  interest  to  give  an  outline  of  the  causes  which  led  to  its 
inception,  especially  as  this  will  show  that  other  similar  societies  existed 
in  this  neighborhood  early  in  the  eighteenth  century.  The  scandals,  both 
public  and  private,  which  characterized  the  reigns  of  Charles  II.  and 
James  II.  were  a  cause  of  shame  to  many  Englishmen,  and  became  so  no- 
torious that  a  reaction  set  in  after  the  Revolution.  In  1895  Miss  Mary 
Bateman  wrote : 

In  the  reign  of  William  and  Mary  the  rise  of  a  number  of  voluntary  associa- 
tions, with  moral,  religious,  or  philanthropic  aims,  expressed  the  widespread 
desire  for  social  reform.  It  is  true  that  in  1689,  as  in  1642,  social  reform  was 
not  made  a  party  cry ;  but  the  cordial  reception  given  to  the  Prince  of  Orange, 
especially  in  the  city  of  London,  was  partly  due  to  the  belief  that  the  social 
disorders  of  the  last  two  reigns  would  be  suppressed.    The  city  authorities 

♦  In  an  Appendix  (pp.  19-24),  Mr.  Harris  says  that  '*An  account  of  the  societies  of 
young  men  in  England,  with  rules  and  directions  for  their  use,  may  be  found  in  Bax- 
ter's Practical  Works,  Vol.  iv;  *'  quotes  some  rules  for  such  a  society  from  A  Help  to 
NcUional  Reformation ;  and  gives  some  extracts  from  **  a  little  book,  published  about 
the  beginning  of  the  present  century,  entitled  •  Private  meetings  animated  and  regu- 
lated, .  .  .  whicn  may  serve  to  shew  the  original  plan  and  design  of  such  institu- 
tions.'* The  last  I  have  not  seen.  My  attention  was  called  by  Mr.  William  P.  Green- 
law to  the  two  sermons  quoted  in  the  text.  Copies  of  both,  owned  bv  the  Dorchester 
Antiquarian  and  Historical  Societv,  are  deposited  in  the  library  of  the  New  England 
Historic  Genealogical  Society,  ana  are  bound  in  Volume  vlii  of  a  series  labelled  *•  His- 
torical Discourses,  Dorchester." 

t  I  am  indebted  to  Mr.  William  B.  Trask,  to  Mr.  Henry  E.  Woods,  and  to  Mr. 
Henry  H.  Edes,  for  aid  in  deciphering  some  of  the  names  on  the  parchment. 


32  A  Dorchester  Religious  Society.  [Jan. 

combined  with  their  Whiggism  the  Poritan  horror  of  profanation  of  the  Sab- 
bath, cursing  and  drunkenness,  and  they  knew  that  they  had  William's  sympa- 
thy In  these  matters.  The  first  sign  of  a  change  in  the  policy  of  the  Govern- 
ment was  given  in  a  letter  sent  by  William  to  the  bishops,  1689,  ordering  them 
publicly  to  preach  against  the  keeping  of  courtezans,  swearing,  etc.,  and  to  put 
the  ecclesiastical  laws  in  execution  without  any  indulgence.  The  next  was 
given  in  a  letter  of  Mary,  written  in  the  absence  of  the  king,  to  the  Justices  of 
the  Peace  in  Middlesex,  July  9th,  1691,  which  recommended  the  execution  of 
the  laws  *' against  profaning  the  Lord's  Day,  drunkenness,  profane  swearing 
and  cursing,  and  all  other  lewd,  enormous,  and  disorderly  practices  '*  which 
had  universally  spread  themselves  by  the  neglect  and  connivance  of  the  magis- 
trates. Any  officer  of  justice  guilty  of  these  offences  or  negligent  in  punishing 
them  was  to  be  punished  himself  as  an  example. 

On  the  whole,  however,  it  was  not  through  Court  influence  that  progress  was 
made  in  the  reform  of  manners.  It  was  from  the  people,  not  from  the  Govern- 
ment, that  the  movement  of  social  reform  came.  The  work  which  Cromwell 
had  given  to  his  major-generals  was  now  taken  up  by  voluntary  associations. 
The  title  "Society  for  the  Reformation  of  Manners"  was  first  used  in  1692,» 
when  five  or  six  private  gentlemen  of  the  Church  of  England,  with  the  help  of 
the  Queen,  banded  themselves  together  to  inform  against  all  persons  who  broke 
the  penal  laws.  To  prevent  the  charge  of  covetousness,  the  societies  paid  over 
the  fines  to  charities,  and  took  a  subscription  from  their  members  to  pay  the 
expenses  of  prosecutions.  In  1698  the  societies  received  a  stimulus  from  a 
proclamation  against  vice  and  impiety  in  all  classes  issued  by  William  III.  The 
spread  of  vice  was  ascribed  to  the  magistrates'  neglect  to  enforce  the  laws,  and 
the  judges  of  assize  and  justices  of  the  peace  were  ordered  to  read  the  procla- 
mation before  giving  the  charge,  and  adl  ministers  of  religion  were  to  read  it 
four  times  a  year  after  divine  service.! 

♦  For  this  statement,  Miss  Bateman  refers  to  Coke's  Detection  (iii.66)  and  Wilson's 
De  Foe  {i,  279).  But  neither  Coke  nor  Wilson  says  that  the  title  was  used  in  1692: 
merely  that  the  Societies  arose  in  or  about  that  year.  The  earliest  use  of  that  exact 
title  I  have  found  is  in  a  pamphlet  called  Proposals  for  a  NationcU  Reformation  of 
Manners  ^  Humbly  offered  to  the  Consideration  of  our  Magistrates  S^  Clergy,  To  which  ts 
added  f  I,  The  Instrument  for  Reformation.  II.  An  Account  of  several  Murders^  SfC.  and 
particularly  A  Bloody  Slaughter^House  discovered  in  Rosemary -lane,  by  some  of  the  SO' 
ciety  for  Reformation.  .  .  .  As  also  The  Black  Roll^  Containing  the  Names  and 
Crimes  of  several  hundred  Persons^  who  have  been  prosecuted  by  the  Society ^  London, 
1694.  Tliis  was  licensed  February  12,  1693-4,  and  was  **  Published  by  the  Society  for 
Reformation."  To  the  sermons  preached  before  the  Societies,  there  was  frequently 
added  an  ''Account  [for  the  preceding  ^ear]  of  the  Progress  made  in  the  Cities  of 
London  and  Wesminster,  ana  Places  adjacent,  by  the  Societies  for  Promoting  Refor- 
mation of  Manners."  The  first  of  these  accounts  was  the  "  Black  Roll "  printed  in  the 
above  pamphlet  of  1692.  Later  they  appeared  as  broadsides  under  the  title  of  Black  List, 
and  in  the  British  Museum  are  copies  of  the  Sixth  (1701),  the  Eighth  (1703),  the  Tenth 
(1705),  the  Thirteenth  (1708),  the  Fourteenth  (1709),  and  the  Fflleenth  (1710).  From 
them  it  seems  probable  that  the  Societies  were  officially  organized  in  1694,  and  pre- 
sumably their  title  dates  from  that  vear. 

The  earliest  allusion  I  have  found  to  the  originators  of  the  Societies  is  in  a  pamphlet 
entitled^  Vindication  of  an  Undertaking  of  Certain  Gentlemen,  In  Order  to  the  Sup- 
pressing of  Debauchery  and  Profaneness,  printed  in  London  in  1692,  of  which  there  is 
a  copy  m  the  Boston  Athenaeum.  Though  published  anonymously,  it  was  written  by 
Edward  Fowler,  Bishop  of  Gloucester,  who  says : 

"  But  to  come  to  the  Business  of  these  Papers :  Certain  pious  Gentlemen,  all  of  the 
Church  of  England,  laying  greatly  to  heart  t?iese  things,  resolved  to  make  Tryal, 
whether  any  thing  could  be  done  towards  siving  a  Check  to  Debauchery  and  Pro- 
FANEN ESS ;  and  joyntly  agreed  upon  this  following  Method  for  the  Reforming  of  Offen- 
ders in  those  Two  most  scandalous  Instances,  by  due  Course  of  Law"  (p.  6). 

The  title  later  used  is  not  found  in  this  pamphlet,  but  in  the  Preface  the  author 
asks :  *•  But  how  can  Zeal  for  so  good  a  thing  as  Reformation  of  our  Manners,  be  ever  Ill- 
timed  ?  "  (p.  iv.)  There  are  in  the  British  Museum  two  copies  of  this  pamphlet,  one 
with  the  title  as  given  above,  the  other  entitled  A  Vindication  Of  a  Late  Undertaking 
of  Certain  Gentlemen,  &c.,  London,  1692.

1906.]  A  Dorchester  Religious  Society.  33 

Most  of  the  societies  oi^anized  late  in  the  seventeenth  century  had  for 
their  object  the  suppression  of  immoralities  of  various  kinds  and  the  prose- 
cnUon  of  the  offenders.  After  enumerating  the  duties  of  about  a  dozen 
of  these,  the  writer  of  a  pamphlet  published  in  London  in  1699  goes  on 
to  say: 

Besides  those  above-mentioned,  there  are  about  Nine  and  Thirty  BeUgious 
Societies  of  another  kind,  in  and  about  London  and  WeMminster,  which  are 
propagated  into  other  Parts  of  the  Nation;  as  Nottingham,  Gloucester,  <6c.,  and 
even  into  Ireland,  where  they  have  been  for  some  Months  since  spreading  in 
divers  Towns  and  Cities  of  that  Kingdom ;  as  Kilkenny,  Drogheda,  Monmouth, 
4tc.  especially  in  Dublin,  where  there  are  about  Ten  of  these  Societies,  which  are 
promoted  by  the  Bishops,  and  inferior  Clergy  there.  These  I^rsons  meet  often 
to  Pray,  Sing  Psalms^  and  Bead  the  Holy  Scriptures  together,  and  to  Reprove, 
Exhort,  and  Ed\^  one  another  by  their  Religious  Conferences.  They  moreover 
carry  on  at  their  Meetings,  Designs  of  Charity,  of' different  kinds;  such  as 
Believing  the  Wants  of  Poor  House-keepers,  maintaining  their  Children  at  School, 
setting  of  Prisoners  at  Liberty,  supporting  of  Lectures  and  daily  Prayers  in  our 
Churches,  These  are  the  SOCIETIES  which  our  late  Gracious  Queen,  as  the 
Learned  Bishop  that  hath  writ  her  LIFE  tells  us,*  took  so  great  Satisfaction  in, 
that  She  inquired  often  and  much  about  them,  and  was  glad  they  went  on  and 
prevailed;  which,  thanks  be  to  GOD,  they  continue  to  do;  as  the  Reverend  Mr. 
Woodward^  who  hath  obliged  the  World  with  a  very  particular  Account  of  the 
Rise  and  Progress  of  them,  hath  lately  acquainted  us.f  And  these  likewise  are 
SOCIETIES  that  have  proved  so  exceedingly  Serviceaable  in  the  Work  of  RE- 
FORMATION, that  they  may  be  reckoned  a  chief  Support  to  it,  as  our  late  (}reat 
Primate  Arch-Bishop  TUlotson  declar'd,  upon  several  Occasions,  after  he  had

t  The  Bev.  Josiah  Woodward  preached  a  sermon  before  the  Societies  on  December 
28, 1696.  There  is  a  copy  in  the  Harvard  College  Library.  In  the  Epistle  Prefatory 
we  read: 

**  And  therefore  it  cannot  but  be  matter  ofgreai  Joy  to  all  good  People  to  hear  of  your 
9uccesaful  Progreta  in  this  your  pious  Enterprize.  What  exalted  Praises  will  they  offer 
to  God,  when  they  hear  of  your  Order,  Courage,  and  Unanimity  in  a  Work  of  such  abso- 
lute  Necessity ;  and  when  they  understand  that  Thousands  have  been  brought  by  your 
meetms  to  legal  Punishment,  for  their  abominable  Enormities ;  and  that  Multitudes  of  scan- 
dalous Houses  .  .  .  have  been  suppressed  by  you ;  and  that  public  Vice  and  Profane- 
ness  is  manifestly  checked,  and  in  a  way  to  be  rooted  out  by  your  exemplary  Diligence, 
Zeal,  and  J^xvence  in  this  great  Undertaking  t  As  it  is  more  particularly  related  in  an 
Account  of  tne  Rise  and  Progress  of  the  Religious  Societies  of  Young  Men,  lately  pub- 
lished **  (pp.  vii.  viii). 

The  title  of  Woodward's  pamphlet  is,  An  Account  of  the  Rise  and  Progress  of  the 
Reliaious  Societies  in  the  City  of  London,  S^c.  And  of  the  Endeavours  for  nefOrmation 
of  Manners  Which  have  been  made  therein.  No  copy  of  the  first  edition  is  known  to  me, 
but  according  to  Arber's  Term  Catalogues  (ii.  600)  it  was  published  in  November,  1696, 
under  the  title  of  An  Earnest  Admonition  to  All ;  but  especially  to  Toung  Persons,  to 
turn  to  God  by  speedy  repentance  and  reformation.  Being  the  substance  of  six  Sermons, 
...  To  which  is  added.  An  Account  of  the  Rise  and  Progress  of  the  Religious  So- 
cieties of  Young  Men,  and  of  the  Societies  for  Reformation.  In  the  British  Museum  are 
copies  of  the  second  (1698),  the  third  (1701),  and  the  fourth  (1712)  editions.  The  fol- 
lowing extracts,  pertinent  to  our  subject,  are  taken  from  the  second  edition : 

**  IT  is  now  about  twenty  years  ago,  that  several  young  Men  of  the  Church  of  Eng- 
land, in  the  Cities  of  London  and  Westminster,  were  about  the  same  time  touch  d  with 
m  very  affecting  sense  of  their  Sins,  and  began  to  apply  themselves,  in  a  very  serious 
manner,  to  Religious  Thoughts  and  Purposes'*  (p-  31). 

"  INSOMUCH,  that  there  are  now  near  twenty  Societies  of  various  Qualities  and  Func- 
tions, formed  in  a  Subordination  and  Correspondency  one  with  another,  and  engaged 
in  this  Christian  Design  in  and  about  this  Ctty  and  Suburbs  :  All  which  have  their  set 
Hours  and  Places  of  meeting,  to  direct,  support,  and  execute  this  their  undertaking. 

"  IN  this  Number  of  Societies  for  Reformation  here  given,  I  do  not  include  any  of  the 


deavours  from  the  first  to  suppress publick  Vice ;  whilst  the  Religious  Societies  endeav- 
oar'd  chiefly  to  promote  Religion  in  their  own  Breasts,  tho  they  have  since  been  emi- 
oently  instrumental  in  the  Publick  Reformation  "  (pp.  83,  84). 


34  A  Dorchester  Religious  Society*  [Jan* 

examined  their  Orders,  and  inquired  into  their  lAves,  Thai  he  thought  they  were 
to  the  Church  of  England.* 

That  a  movement  which  met  with  such  an  impetus  in  England  should 
have  extended  its  influence  to  the  American  colonies,  is  what  one  would 
naturally  expect.     In  a  pamphlet  published  in  London  in  1705,  we  read : 

A  Reverend  Divine,  who  hath  been  lately  in  our  Northern  Plantation  in  Amer- 
ica, by  the  Encouragement  of  divers  of  our  Bishops,  for  the  Propagation  of 
Christianity  there,  ordei*'d  a  whole  Impression  of  the  Account  of  tlie  Societies^ 
to  be  Printed  off,  and  sent  thither,  for  the  promoting  a  Reformation,  by  these 
Methods,  In  those  Parts  of  the  World.  And  this  Reverend  Person  the  last 
Month  told  me,  that  he  thinks  they  have  since  made  a  more  remarkable  Refor- 
mation there,  than  In  either  of  Her  Majesty's  Klngdoms4 

Some  contemporary  letters  written  by  an  unknown  New  Englander  are 
fortunately  preserved.  In  the  pamphlet  which  has  just  been  cited  will  be 
found  the  following  extracts : 

From  New  England  we  are  told,  That  great  Care  hath  been  there  taken  of 
late  for  the  Punishment  of  Vice  and  Prophaneness  by  the  Methods  that  are  here 
us'd;  and  a  Gentleman  In  that  Country,  In  his  Letter  bearing  date^prt7  10.  1702. 
informs  us.  That  several  Societies  are  formed  In  Boston,  and  he  thinks  that  in 
a  little  time  he  shall  acquaint  us  of  others  set  up  in  other  Parts  of  that 
Country.  § 

A  Gentleman  In  New-England,  in  a  Letter  dated  October  8.  1704.  writes  to 
his  Correspondent  in  London  in  the  following  Words:  T?ie  Societies  lately 
erected  for  the  Service  of  Religion  in  London,  and  in  some  other  Parts  of  Europe, 
have  by  their  laudable  Example  had  an  Influence  upon  a  Country  as  far  distant 
from  them  as  New-England  in  Amerlqa.  And  ice  thought  it  might  be  some  Satis- 
faction to  you  and  other  good  Men  toith  you,  to  have  a  summary  Account  of  the 
Good  which  is  daily  doing  among  us,  in  Imitation  of  the  Example  that  you  have  given 
us.  We  shall  accordingly  inform  you,  that  a  Number  of  Gentlemen  who  make  the 
best  Figure  in  this  Place,  did  a  few  Months  ago  establish  a  voluntary  Conversa- 
tion once  in  a  Fortnight.  The  Gentlemen  of  the  Society  for  Propagation  of  Re- 
ligion have  already  had  a  sensible  Blessing  of  God  upon  their  Consultations  and 
Undertakings.  They  have  sent  into  every  Town  of  the  Pi^ovinces  Treatises  to  ani- 
mate the  Observation  of  the  Lord's  Day.  They  have  conveyed  unto  such  People 
among  our  selves  as  frequently  and  prophanely  absent  themselves  from  the  Publick 
Worship  of  God,  a  Sheet  o/ Considerations  to  reclaim  them  from  that  Prophanity. 
They  compiled  and  emitted  an  Abstract  of  Laws  against  ail  punishable  Wicked- 
ness, and  armed  the  Officers  in  the  several  Parts  of  the  Province  therewithal.  They 
are  now  endeavouring  to  introduce  more  Religion  into  our  Sea-faring  Tribe,  and 
Season  our  Vessels  with  better  Orders  than  have  been  generally  practised.  These 
are  but  some  of  the  good  Things  which  they  have  done  in  a  very  little  while.     We

tter,  And  other  Parts  of  the  Kingdom,  London,  1699,  pp.  16,  16.  In  the  British  Museum 
Catalogue  and  elsewhere  this  pamphlet,  of  which  two  editions  appeared  in  1699,  is  at- 
tributed to  Woodward :  but  the  allusion  to  Woodward  quoted  in  the  text  shows  that 
he  could  not  have  been  its  author.  There  is  a  copy  of  the  pamphlet  in  the  Boston 
Athenieum  and  in  the  Harvard  College  Librarjr.  In  a  sermon  preached  before  the 
Societies  on  June  27,  1698,  the  Rev.  Thomas  Jekill  referred  in  the  Epistle  Dedicatory 
to  *•  the  several  Accounts  that  have  been  given  of  your  Affairs  in  Print ;  Jlrst  by  the  Right 
Reverend  Bishop  of  Gloucester,  and  stnce  by  the  Reverend  Mr.  Woodward,  and  some 
others."  The  first  allusion  is  of  course  to  Edward  Fowler's  Vindication  (1692),  al-  , 
ready  quoted  in  a  note  on  page  32,  while  the  second  allusion  is  to  the  pamphlet  by 
Woodward  mentioned  in  tne  last  note.

pamphlet  published  in  London  about  1700  called  A  Short  Account  of  the  Several  Kinds 
of  Societies,  set  up  of  late  Tears,  for  the  promoting  of  God*s  Worship,  for  the  Reforma-

^ey  Printed  a  Sheet  of  Methods  and  Motives  for  such  Societies;  the  Sheet  they 
scattered  throughout  these  Colonies,  In  many  Towns  they  have  erected  such  Socie- 
ties, and  conformed  unto  the  Advice  that  have  been  set  before  them.  In  these  Towns 
the  Ministers  and  t?ie  Societies,  with  which  they  have  accomodated  themselves,  to  be 
admirable  Engines  for  the  maintaining  and  promoting  all  good  Order  among  their 
People,  We  receive  Letters  from  divers  Quarters  wherein  they  do  even  with  some 
Bapture  give  Thanks  to  God  for  the  Advantage  they  have  already  received  by  these 
Societies,  They  generally  carry  on  their  Design  with  Prudence  and  Silence,  and 
great  Modesty,  but  with  wondrous  Efficacy.  We  confess  we  owe  unto  you  the  Beta- 
Hon,  because  we  are  beholding  to  you  for  the  Example  that  hath  been  followed  in 
onr  feeble  Essays  to  do  what  we  can  for  the  Advancement  of  the  Greatest  Interest, 
May  the  God  of  all  Grace  prosper  all  your  and  our  Essays  thus  to  do  what  Good 
IOC  can,* 

In  another  pamphlet,  puhlished  in  London  in  1706,  we  get  a  few  more 
letters  written  hy  the  same  person.     Some  extracts  follow. 

A  Beyerend  Divine  of  New-England  in  his  Letter  dated  from  Boston  the  23d 
of  November  1705,  says  thus :  Sir,  It  was  but  Yesterday  that  your  letter  to  our 
tDorthy  Friend  Mr, arrived;  however,  we  were  not  willing  to  miss  this  Op- 
portunity of  returning  you  our  hearty  Thanks  for  your  grateful  Communications, 
and  of  letting  you  know,  that  we  take  every  Opportunity  of  returning  greatest 
TTuinks  to  the  God  of  Heaven,  for  disposing  and  assisting  so  many  {as  we  perceive 
by  your  Letters)  unto  such  noble  Methods  of  being  Serviceable. 

And  because  you  may  expect  something  of  that  also,  we  wUl  go  on  where  we  l^ 
off  in  the  Account  we  formerly  gave  you  of  our  Proceedings  in  those  best  Intentions, 
Vie  Beformation  of  Manners,  and  the  Propagating  of  Christian  Knowledge  and 
Goodness, 

Our  Societies  for  the  suppression  of  Disorders,  increase  and  prosper  in  this  Town ; 
there  are  two  more  such  Societies  added  unto  the  former ;  There  are  also  Beligious 
Societies  without  Number  in  this  Country  that  meet  at  proper  Times,  to  pray  to- 
gether, and  repeat  Sermons,  and  forward  one  another  in  the  Fear  of  God, 

In  some  Towns  of  this  Country,  the  Ministers  who  furnish  themselves  with  a 
Society  for  the  Suppression  of  Disorders,  hardly  find  any  notorious  Disorders  to  be 
suppressed :  but  then  their  Societies  are  helpful  unto  them  in  doing  abundance  of 
Good  for  the  Advancement  ofsenous  Beligion  in  the  Neighbourhood,  and  to  make 
their  Ministry  much  more  Profitable  in  the  Weekly  Exercise  ofit.^ 

Lastly,  a  Gentleman  writes  from  New-England,  in  his  Letter  of  the  20th  of 
November  1705.  2o  gratifie  your  Desires  to  know  what  Progress  we  make  here 
in  our  Societies,  I  make  bold  to  add  a  Line  or  two  to  certify.  That  in  Boston  the 
Societies  for  suppressing  Disorders  {of  which  mention  was  made  in  my  former  Let- 
ters) are  upheld,  and  two  other  Societies  of  the  same  Nature  erected, '  All  %ohich 
are  spirited  to  be  active,  according  to  their  Abilities  and  Influence,  to  promote  Vir- 
tue, and  discountenance  and  suppress  Vice.  And  not  only  in  Boston  are  such 
good  Things  done,  and  doing,  but  in  many  Places  in  the  Province  besides.  Omit- 
ting many  other  things  that  might  be  enumerated  as  to  other  Places,  I  shall  sum 
up  in  short,  an  Account  of  what  hath  been  done  in  a  Town  called  Taunton,  through 

the  rich  Mercy  of  God:  The  Beverend  Mr. ,X  Minister  there,  having  seen 

some  Printed  Accounts  of  the  Methods  for  Befoi*mation  in  Old  England,  in  imita- 
tion thereof  {after  earnest  Prayers  to  God  for  Success)  obtained  of  several  Inhabi- 
tants of  the  Place  {that  were  noted  for  Sobriety  and  Zeal  against  Sin)  to  meet  unth 
him  once  in  each  Month,  to  consult  what  might  be  done  to  promote  a  Beformation 
of  Disorders  there.    And  after  a  Day  improved  in  Fasting  and  Prayer  together,

iheg  first  attempted  to  reduce  the  Heads  of  Families  to  set  up  Family  Worship ; 
and  God  gave  them  great  Success  ;  So  that  most  of  the  Families  in  the  large  Towns 
hearkened  to  their  Exhortations  and  Reproofs  ;  and  set  upon  the  Practice  of  Family 
Prayer  Morning  and  Evening ;  every  day  having  heard  and  read  some  Accounts  of 
the  Religious  Societies  of  Young  Men  in  London,  they  were  encouraged  to  endeavour 
the  like  among  them.  And  beyond  their  Expectation  (God  working  with  them) 
prevailed  toith  the  greatest  part  of  the  Youth  to  form  themselves  into  Societies  for 
Religious  Exercises,  signing  some  good  Rules  to  be  observed  by  them  therein,  much 
like  the  Orders  of  the  Societies  of  the  Young  Men  in  London,  The  good  Effect 
whereof  was  the  putting  an  End  to  and  utter  Ranishment  of  t?ieir  former  disorderly 
and  profane  Meetings  to  Drink,  &c.  and  to  the  great  Grief  of  Godly  Minds. 

There  is  also  something  done  in  the  Town  (and  in  some  others)  towards  the 
founding  of  a  School,  by  getting  Lands  granted  and  laid  out  by  the  Inhabitants 
for  the  particular  Design  of  upholding  a  School.  And  whereas  some  Prints  from 
Old-England  certify  us.  That  the  Inferior  Clergy  are  advised  to  meet  together  often, 
and  consult  how  to  promote  Reformation.*  In  like  manner  some  Essays  are 
made,  that  Neighbouring  Ministers  in  this  Province  might  uphold  some  stated 
Meetings,  to  consider  of  what  they  may  do  for  the  same  End. 

Now,  Sir,  our  Imitation  of  the  pious  Zeal  of  godly  Men  in  Old-England,  is  a 
s/ufficient  Testimony  of  our  Approbation  of  what  is  doing  there.  And  blessed  be 
God  that  there  is  a  great  Number  in  this  Province,  who  daily  pray  to  God  for  the 
Prosperity  of  Old-England :  And  especially  that  Religion  in  the  Power  and  Life 
of  it  may  Flourish  tliere.f 

These  letters  and  extracts  give  us  an  interesting  glimpse  into  the  moral 
and  social  life  of  New  England  two  centuries  ago.  For  half  a  century  or 
more  the  English  Societies  continued  their  activities.}  How  long  the 
movement  lasted  in  New  England  is  not  known  to  the  present  writer,  and 
it  is  hoped  that  the  facts  now  given  will  lead  to  further  discoveries  in  the 
same  direction.     In  1895  the  Rev.  Francis  E.  Clark  wrote : 

But  the  most  remarkable  example  of  Endeavorers  before  the  Endeavor  Society 
is  found  in  a  short-lived  movement  which  began  nearly  two  centuries  ago  in 
the  churches  of  Massachusetts. § 

Mr.  Clark  then  goes  on  to  descrihe  and  to  quote  from  a  pamphlet  printed 
by  Cotton  Mather  at  Boston  in  1724  and  entitled,  *^  Religious  Societies. 
Proposals  For  the  Revival  of  Dying  Religion,  By  Well-Ordered  Societies 
For  that  Purpose.  With  a  brief  Discourse,  Offered  unto  a  Religious  So- 
ciety, on  the  First  Day  of  their  Meeting,"  Mather  makes  a  passing 
allusion  to  the  societies  which  have  been  considered  in  this  paper,  but  does

X  Some  of  those  who  preached  to  the  societies  were  Dissenters,  but  most  of  them 
were  of  the  Church  of  England.  The  sermons  were  at  first  quarterly,  but  later  became 
annual.  The  libraries  of  Boston  and  Cambridge  contain  the  following  sermons: 
Josiah  Woodward  (1696),  Lilly  Butler  (1697),  John  Woodhouse  (1697),  John  Russell 
(1697),  Samuel  Bradford  (1697),  Samuel  Wesley  (1698),  William  Hayley  (1698),  Edward 
Fowler  (1699),  Gilbert  Burnet  (1700),  St.  George  Ashe  (1717),  Edward  Gibson  (1724)^ 
Edward  Chandler  (1725),  Thomas  Green  (1727),  Richard  Smalbroke  (1728) ,  Thomas 
Leavesley  (1730),  Francis  Hare  (1731),  James  Knight  (1733),  Arthur  Bedford  (1734), 
Edward  Cobden  (1736),  Samuel  Smith  (1739).  The  British  Museum  contains  some  of 
the  above  sermons  and  also  the  following:  William  Bisset  (1704),  Samuel  Wright 
(1716),  John  Leng  (1718),  Moses  Lowman  (1720),  William  Butler  (1722),  John  Wynne 
(1726),  Robert  Drew  (1736),  Samuel  Say  (1736),  William  Simpson  (1738),  Samuel 
Chandler  (1738).  There  is  also  in  the  British  Museum  A  Sermon  Preached  before  the 
Former  Societies  for  Reformation  of  Manners :  To  which  is  added,  An  Abridgment  of  the 
forty-second  Account  of  their  Progress  made  in  the  Cities  of  London  and  Westminster,

called  existed  a  quarter  of  a  century  or  so  before  the  appearance  of  Ma-

and  rational  Creature,  and  hath  given  to  us  a  Law  to  regulate  and  order  our 
Lives  by.  It  fhould  be  the  great  Care  and  Concernment  of  all  Men  in  general, 
and  of  thofe  that  live  under  the  Light,  Power,  Means  and  Gospel  of  an  almighty 
and  alsufflcient  Saviour,  in  a  very  singular  and  particular  Manner,  for  to  walk 
and  order  their  Lives  and  Converfations  according  to  their  Faith  and  Belief,  .aa 
the  holy  Spirit  of  God  in  his  holy  Word  fhall  guide  and  direct  in  f uch  Ways, 
Means,  Methods,  and  Inftitutions,  as  may  increafe  their  Love  to,  and  Faith,

immortal  Souls,  as  well  as  Joy  and  Comfort  unto  all  the  Godly :  and  an  example 
unto  all  ungodly  Sinners.  And  flnce  that  the  blefsed  and  eternal  God  bath  de- 
clared in  his  holy  Word  that  he  def ires  not  the  Death  of  Sinners ;  and  that 
"Where  but  two  or  three  are  gathered  together  in  His  Name,  that  there  he  will  be 
in  the  midf t  of  them  and  blef s  them ;  and  that  he  loves  them  that  love  him  and 
they  that  seek  him  early  fhall  find  him :  and  f  ince  that  God  has  appeared  and  made 
known  his  Spirit  and  Power  wonderfully  upon  the  enlivening,  enlightening, 
comforting,  converting  and  confirming  f undry,  in  the  former  and  prefent  Gene- 
ration, and  make  them  great  Blef  sings  unto  his  Church  and  People,  by  and 
through  the  Means  of  godly  and  pious  Societies  and  Converfations.  We  fol- 
lowing their  Example,  and  trufting  alone  for  Help  and  Afsistance  from  God ; 
do  jointly  and  feverally  confent  and  agree  unto  thefe  Articles  following,  viz, 
I)  First,  That  upon  every  Sabbath  Day  Evening,  as  many  of  us  as  are  well, 
and  in  Health ;  except  that  feme  unavoidable  Accident  happen,  will  come  at  the 
Place  and  Time  appointed  for  the  carrying  on  of  our  Excrcife;  and  continue 
two  Hours,  or  thereabouts  in  our  Service.  II)  Secondly.  That  when  we  are 
met  together,  our  Service  is  to  begin,  first,  with  Prayer;  Secondly,  a  Psalm  to 
be  fung  at  the  Appointment  of  him  that  first  began  the  Exercife.  Thirdly,  if 
the  Time  be  not  far  fpent  a  godly  sermon  is  to  be  read.  Lastly,  We  will  con- 
clude with  Prayer. — In  the  Year  of  Our  Lord  and  Saviour  one  Thou  fa  nd  feven 
Hundred  and  feven.  January  the  26**».  It  was  agreed  upon  by  the  whole  So- 
ciety, that  they  would  meet  once  in  a  Month  a  Thursday  Night :  and  the  Exer- 
cife to  be  carried  on  In  Prayer ;  and  a  Psalm  to  be  fung  at  laft.— And  alfo  it 
was  agreed  upon,  that  if  any  Perfon  belonging  unto  our  Society  doth  not  attend 
at  the  Place  appointed  for  the  carrying  on  of  our  Exercife,  he  Is  to  declare  his 
Beafon  for  the  same.  Ill)  Thirdly,  All  fhall  equally  take  their  Turns  in 
carrying  on  the  Exercife  as  their  Names  are  annexed ;  and  that  if  any  one  de- 
flres  to  be  excufed,  he  fhall  get  another  of  the  Society  to  take  his  Turn  in 
carrying  on  of  the  Exercife,  and  it  fhall  be  reputed  and  reckoned,  that  he  who 
of  right  fhould  have  done  it,  hath  taken  his  Turn.  IV)  Fourthly.  That  what- 
foever  Slips  or  Mlftakes  happen  from  any  perfon,  while  in  Prayer,  or  any 
other  Exercife,  there  fhall  be  nothing  faid,  nor  any  Motions  made,  that  may 
anyways  Irapofe  upon,  or  make  the  Perfon  an  Object  of  Laughter;  but  all  are 
in  Love  and  Friendfhlp  to  bear  with  the  Mlftakes  one  of  another :  for  no  man 
is  able  to  ftand  upon  his  own  Strength,  and  God  may  let  the  ablest  fall  into 
grofse  Errors.  V)  Fifthly.  No  Perfon  belonging  unto  our  Society,  fhall  at 
any  Time,  make  known  unto  any  others,  any  of  the  Slips  or  Mlftakes  of  any 
of  the  Society,  but  all  our  Actions  fhall  be  kept  fecret  unto  ourf elves,  least 
through  the  Subtilty  of  Satan  much  Mifchief  be  Incurred  thereby.  VI)  Sixthly.

ANDREW  N.  ADAMS. 

By  Ebastub  Hibbabd  Phblps,  Esq.,  of  Fair  Haven,  Vt. 

Andrew  N.  Adams  was  born  in  Fair  Haven,  Vermont,  January 
6,  1830,  and  died  in  his  native  town,  March  13,  1905.  He  was 
the  son  of  Joseph  and  Stella  (Miller)  Adams.  The  ancestors  of 
bis  father,  who  was  bom  in  Londonderry,  New  Hampshire,  Feb. 
14,  1802,  were  Scotch,  and  came  to  this  country  from  the  north  of 
Ireland  with  the  Scotch-Irish  Colony  that  settled  in  Londonderry 
in  1721.  Although  called  Scotch-Irish  because  they  came  from 
IreUnd,  these  early  settlers  of  Londonderry  were  of  Scotch  lineage 
pure  and  simple,  and  being  rigid  Protestants  of  the  Presbyterian 
faith  they  tolerated  no  mixture  with  the  Celts,  and  disliked  being 
called  Irish. 

The  parents  of  Joseph  Adams  immigrated  to  Whitehall,  New 
York,  in  1806,  and  in  1823  he  married  Stella,  daughter  of  Capt. 
William  and  Paulina  (Phelps)  Miller.  Capt.  Miller  was  a  native 
of  Pittsfield,  Massachusetts,  and  settled  in  Hampton  in  1786,  where 
he  reared  a  large  family  of  children,  the  eldest  being  the  Rev.  Wil- 
liam Miller,  widely  known  as  a  student  of  prophesy,  and  founder 
of  the  sect  known  as  Second  Adventists. 

The  subject  of  this  sketch  was  the  fourth  child  of  Joseph  Adams 
and  Stella  Miller.  His  preparatory  school  training  was  obtained  in 
the  common  schools  of  Fair  Haven,  and  at  the  Green  Mountain 
Liberal  Institute,  South  Woodstock,  Vermont.  Later,  he  was  a 
student  at  the  Theological  Seminary  at  Meadville,  Pennsylvania, 
graduating,  however,  at  the  Harvard  Divinity  School  in  1855,  in 
the  same  class  with  George  Hughes  Hep  worth. 

Immediately  after  his  graduation,  on  August  1,  1855,  he  was 
married  to  Angie  Margaret  Phelps,  of  Orwell,  Vermont,  and  at 
once  entered  upon  his  chosen  profession,  becoming  pastor  of  the 
First  Parish  Church  in  Needhart,  Massachusetts,  where  he  was 
ordained  Nov.  21,  1855.  In  1857  he  removed  to  Franklin,  Massa- 
chusetts, and  became  pastor  of  the  First  Universalist  Church  of 
that  place,  where  he  remained  until  the  summer  of  1860,  when  he 
resigned,  and  returned  to  Fair  Haven,  Vermont,  to  assist  his  father 
in  a  rapidly  growing  mercantile  business.  In  1869  he  engaged,  in 
company  with  his  father  and  brother-in-law,  David  B.  Colton,  in 
sawing  and  manufacturing  marble,  and  in  this  business  he  was  inter- 
ested at  Fair  Haven,  and  afterward  at  Bclden's,  Vermont,  until  a 
few  years  before  his  death. 

He  was  always  deeply  interested  in  the  welfare  of  his  native 
town,  and  was  at  times  justice  of  the  peace  and  town  treasurer,  was 
an  active  member  of  the  school  board  for  many  years,  was  principal 
director  of  the  public  library,  was  for  twenty-five  years  trustee  of 


46  Andrew  If.  Adama.  [Jan. 

the  RutlaDd  County  Grammar  School,  at  Caetleton,  Vermont,  and 
at  the  time  of  his  death  was  president  of  the  board  of  trustees. 

At  the  death  of  his  father,  he  was  made  a  director  in  the  First 
National  Bank  of  Fair  Haven,  which  position  he  resigned  a  few 
years  before  his  death. 

In  1884-5  he  represented  his  town  in  the  State  Legislature,  and 
in  1888-9  he  was  a  member  of  the  State  Senate,  and  occupied  a 
very  prominent  position  as  a  member  of  the  joint  committee  on  ed- 
ucation. In  1870  he  wrote  and  published  a  History  of  Fair  Haven, 
a  book  of  516  pages,  which  is  a  most  exhaustive  history  of  the 
town  from  its  settlement.  He  was  for  a  number  of  years  a  con- 
tributing member  of  the  Rutland  County  Historical  Society  —  in 
fact  it  may  be  said  that  he  was  the  leading  spirit  of  that  body. 

Although  for  many  years  engaged  in  active  business,  Mr.  Adams 
was  by  nature  a  student  and  a  man  of  letters.  In  the  latter  part  of 
his  life  he  was  deeply  interested  in  genealogical  subjects,  and  devo- 
ted years  of  study  and  labor  to  a  history  of  the  Adams  &mily. 

He  first  published,  in  1894,  a  history  of  the  descendants  of  James 
and  William  Adams  of  Londonderry  (now  Derry),  New  Hampshire. 
This  included  his  own  immediate  branch  of  the  Adams  family.  In 
1898  he  published  a  genealogical  history  of  Henry  Adams  of 
Braintree,  and  John  Adams  of  Cambridge,  Massachusetts,  a  book 
of  over  1200  pages  with  numerous  illustrations.  This  book  was 
the  result  of  a  great  amount  of  patient,  persistent^  and  painstaking 
work,  and  the  author  in  his  preface  says  it  was  '*  undertaken  at  first 
in  intervals  of  leisure  for  the  sake  of  ^e  knowledge  to  be  derived, 
and  prosecuted  later  in  order  that  others  might  have  the  benefit  of 
the  compilation,  in  a  succinct  and  accessible  form,  of  valuable  rec* 
ords  and  material  drawn  from  many  and  widely  scattered  sources." 

This  was  followed,  in  1900,  with  a  history  of  Robert  Adams  of 
Newbury,  Massachusetts,  and  his  descendants,  a  book  of  560  pages. 
At  the  beginning  of  this  volume,  in  his  address  "  To  the  Reader," 
the  author  speaks  of  other  branches  of  the  Adams  family,  notably 
"William  of  Ipswich,"  "John  of  Plymouth,"  "George  of  Water- 
town,"  as  well  as  several  other  first-comers  in  Massachusetts, 
Connecticut,  Maine,  and  New  Hampshire.  The  author  announces 
that  he  has  compiled  extensive  lists  of  all  these  families,  which 
could  be  published  for  the  benefit  of  others  if  there  were  sufiScient 
interest  among  the  living  descendants  to  warrant  the  labor  and 
expense. 

Sufficient  encouragement  having  been  given,  in  November,  1904, 
Mr.  Adams  issued  an  announcement  "  To  the  Descendants  of  Wil- 
liam Adams,  a  first  settler  in  Ipswich,  Mass.,"  that  the  collation  of 
the  genealogical  records  of  this  great  branch  of  the  Adams  family 
in  America  was  approaching  completion,  and  would  be  published 
early  in  the  ensuing  spring  or  summer.  It  was  estimated  that  the 
material  in  hand  would  make  a  book  of  600  pages. 


1 906. ]  Andrew  N.  Adams.  47 

Mr.  Adams  did  not  liye  to  see  the  book  published,  but  he  left  a 
voluminous  mass  of  material  relating  to  the  subject,  which  has  been 
given  to  the  New  England  Historic  Genealogical  Society,  where 
it  will  be  preserved  and  can  be  consulted.  He  was  elected  a  mem- 
ber of  the  Society  in  1895. 

Besides  his  historical  and  genealogical  works,  Mr.  Adams  was 
the  author  of  numerous  essays  and  addresses  on  educational  and 
kindred  subjects.  He  was  deeply  interested  in  scientific  subjects, 
especially  in  geology,  and  among  his  published  papers  was  one 
of  exceeding  interest  on  "  The  Geology  of  Vermont  as  developed 
along  the  Western  border  in  the  oldest  fossilifirous  rocks  of  the 
Continent." 

His  death  is  a  serious  loss  to  his  family  and  the  town  in  which  he 
had  resided  so  many  years,  and  in  whose  interests  he  was  always  so 
deeply  concerned.  His  widow  and  three  married  daughters  survive 
him.  The  daughters  are:  Alice  A.,  wife  of  Horace  B.  Ellis  of 
Castleton,  Vermont;  Annie  E.,  wife  of  George  B.  Jenny n* of 
Scranton,  Pennsylvania;  and  Stella  M.,  wife  of  John  T.  Powell  of 
Fair  Haven,  Vermont. 

His  large  and  valuable  library  has  been  presented  to  the  town  of 
Fair  Haven,  and  will  occupy  a  separate  department  in  the  Carnegie 
library  building  which  is  about  to  be  erected. 

Mr.  Adams  was,  withal,  a  man  of  rare  qualities  of  mind  and 
heart,  a  man  of  refined  and  cultivated  tastes,  of  broad  and  liberal 
views,  a  thoroughly  honest  and  progressive  citizen,  a  true  and  loyal 
friend. 

From  the  great  number  of  letters  of  sympathy  received  by  the 
family  from  friends  and  acquaintances  scattered  throughout  the 
whole  country,  the  following  extracts  furnish  ample  evidence  of  the 
high  esteem  in  which  he  was  held  even  by  those  who  were  not 
fully  in  accord  with  his  peculiar  views.  A  prominent  Congrega- 
tional clergyman  writes  :  "  I  was  always  drawn  to  Mr.  Adams,  not 
on  account  of  kindred  beliefs,  but  our  spirits  seemed  to  be  kindred. 
If  we  could  not  agree  in  our  conclusions  we  could,  and  I  think  did, 
agree  in  our  desire  to  know  the  truth  and  conform  our  lives  to  its 
behests.  I  suppose  that  when  we  stand  within  the  glory  of  the 
heavenly  light,  we  shall  find  that  the  earthly  views  of  all  of  us  were 
inadequate,  and  perhaps  in  large  part  mistaken ;  and  that  they 
served  their  ends  only  by  furnishing  us  hints  and  clues  to  the  re- 
ality which  is  greater  and  more  glorious  than  we  can  now  conceive." 
Another  letter  from  a  lawyer,  many  years  younger  than  Mr.  Adams, 
says:  **I  always  had  great  admiration  for  his  character  and  intelli- 
gence. I  don't  think  any  one  man  has  exerted  greater  influence  on 
myself  than  Andrew  N.  Adams.  He  said  to  me  once,  several  years 
ago,  that  whether  or  not  he  should  have  a  personal,  individual  ex- 
istence after  this  life  he  had  no  satisfactory  evidence ;  but  that  it 
did  not  trouble  him,  for  he  knew  he  should  continue  to  live  after 


48  Descendants  of  Thomas  Tretidwell.  [Jan. 

death  in  the  influence  and  example  of  his  life,  —  that  that  was  the 
best  part  of  man,  and  that  could  not  die.  So  that  while  he  could 
not  say  that  he  believed  in  the  life  everlasting  as  expressed  in  the 
creed,  using  those  words  as  commonly  understood,  he  did  believe 
that  what  we  love  most  in  the  life  of  our  friends  is  everlasting ;  and 
his  hope  was  that  his  influence  and  example  might  be  such  that  he 
could  wish  it  to  continue  forever.  It  seems  to  me  that  these  words 
were  an  expression  of  the  character  of  the  man."  Another  clergy- 
man, whose  religious  belief  was  in  sympathy  with  that  of  Mr. 
Adams,  writes :  "  His  was  truly  a  long,  honorable  and  useful  ca- 
reer, —  not  alone  to  his  family  and  friends,  but  to  the  world.  The 
principles  of  independent  religious  thought  that  he  so  faithfully 
lived  and  taught  have  helped  to  leaven  the  liberal  thought  of  the 
world.  A  man  so  intellectually  aggressive  is  not  circumscribed  in 
his  influence  by  the  *  pent  up  Utica '  of  town  or  state.  But,  alas, 
the  dearest  of  earthly  ties  must  be  broken  I  Nothing  earthly  is  per- 
manent. Spirit,  —  spirit  divine,  spirit  only  is  substantial,  immortal. 
This  is  our  comfort,  that  the  reality,  the  divine  essence  within  us 
th^t  constitutes  selfhood,  cannot,  like  the  body,  die." 


THOMAS    TREADWELL    OF    IPSWICH,    MASS.,    AND 
SOME  OF  HIS  DESCENDANTS.* 

By  William  A.  Robbins,  LL.B.,  of  Brooklyn,  N.  Y. 

1.  Thomas^  Tread WELLf  appears  to  have  settled  first  at  Dorchester, 
Mass.,  where  his  proportion  of  land  on  the  Neck  (sometimes  called  Lad- 

•  The  author  is  indebted  to  Prof.  George  A.  Tread  well  of  New  York  City  for  liberal 
ftssistance,  and  to  Mrs.  George  H.  Treadwell  fConnecticat  branch)  and  Mr.  Smith  R. 
Treadwell  of  Baltimore,  Md.,  for  much  yaluabie  data. 

If  sufficient  encouragement  be  given,  an  extended  genealoey  will  be  published  in 
book  form,  containing  an  account  of  all  the  descendants  of  Thomas  and  Edward 
Treadwell  down  to  about  1900,  the  lines  of  daughters,  where  they  have  married,  beine 
carried  one  generation.  In  such  a  work  it  is  proposed  to  present  a  great  deal  of  col- 
lateral matter  not  here  given,  such  as*  biograpuy,  copies  of  documents,  including 
photographic  copies  of  the  original  wills  of  Tnomas  Treadwell  and  his  wife,  fac-similet 
of  early  signatures,  together  with  references  and  authorities,  and  exhaustive  indices. 
The  material  for  this  is  now  well  in  hand. 

t  The  earliest  mention  in  this  country  of  the  name  Tre(a)dwell  found  by  the  au- 
thor is  that  of  Thomas,  in  the  records  of  Dorchester,  Mass.,  under  date  of  18  Mar.,  1637. 
Felt,  however,  in  his  History  of  Ipswich,  Essex,  and  Hamilton,  Mass.,  page  12,  men- 
tions a  Mr.  Treadwell  as  a  settler  in  Ipswich,  in  1635;  but  that  Mr.  Tr^well  was 
probably  no  other  than  this  Thomas.  Neither  Savage  nor  Pope  refers  to  any  other 
Treadwell  for  the  year  1636. 

Both  Felt  and  Savage  mention  a  John  Treadwell  in  Ipswich  in  1638 ;  but  Pope  omits 
him,  and  the  author  has  never  been  able  to  find  the  original  record  upon  which  to  base 
such  a  claim.  In  1637,  an  Edward  Treadwell  first  appears  in  this  country  on  the  Ips-

two  sons  from  whom  have  sprung  the  Connecticut  and  Long  Island  Tre(a)dwells,  a 
yery  numerous  and  widely  scattered  family.  The  aforesaid  Thomas  and  Edward  were 
probably  brothers ;  but  no  other  evidence  for  this  statement  has  been  discovered  than 
this  contemporaneous  residence  in  Ipswich. 

In  Hotten's  "  Original  Lists  "  we  find  that  on  28  July,  1635.  Thomas  Tredwell,  a 
smith,  Mary  Tredwell,  e&chnged  30  years,  and  Thomas  Tredwell,  aged  one  year,  em- 
barked from  London  in  the  Hopewelf,  with  certificate  from  the  minister  of  St.  Giles 
Crippleffate,  but  an  examination  of  the  records  at  St.  Giles  Cripplegate,  made  in  1889 
by  Mr.  JBenjamin  F.  Treadwell,  failed  to  disclose  the  TreCa)dwell  name.

56  Remonstrance  at  South  Hampton,  If.  H.  [Jan. 

REMONSTRANCE  AGAINST  SETTLING  A  MINISTER  AT 
SOUTH  HAMPTON,  NEW  HAMPSHIRE. 

Copied  from  the  original  paper  by  John  F&bnch  Johnson,  Esq.,  of  Amesbary,  Mass. 

Sept  7,  1742, 

To  the  Associated  ministers  of  the  neighboring  Towns  mett  at 
the  new  township  of  South  Hampton,  the  following  considirations  are 
offered  as  Reasons  why  a  great  number  of  Inhabitants  now  falling  in  sd' 
town  can  not  joyn  with  othere  in  their  designs,  and  also  why  we  think  the 
present  affair  of  selling  a  Minister  there  should  be  deferred,  viz  : — 

1*^  because  the  affair  of  the  Line  is  yet  under  debate  and  we  know  not 
whether  we  shall  belong  to  sd'  place,  and  that  if  we  should  expend  for 
this  purpose,  or  bring  ourselves  under  obligatioas  it  may  be  lost  as  to  us 
or  Inswearing  to  ourselves  &  descendents. 

2"**,  That  if  we  were  dispossed  yet  the  diflSculty  of  attending  here  for 
ns  and  especially  for  here  three  quarters  of  the  year  is  such  that  we  see 
no  possibility  of  it 

3'^,  That  in  case  ever  the  line  be  established  as  now  run  we  intend 
Gfod  willing  to  accomidate  ourselves  better  in  a  Meeting  house  &  shall 
endeavor  all  we  can  to  be  set  oft  for  thb  end,  and  then  as  to  the  present 
design  of  this  dayi  ntended  by  some  we  desent  first  because  the  first 
meeting  that  voted  this  obtained  partly  by  chance  &  partly  as  we  judge 
unfairly,  second  that  this  last  meeting  was  not  agreeable  to  a  former  vote 
in  this  place  with  respect  to  the  notifying  meetings  &  not  all  as  we  under- 
stand at  all  warned  of  this,  third  we  have  proposed  some  things  which  we 
think  Reasonable  at  present  which  have  not  been  Regarded  by  them  and 
finally  that  if  all  within  the  bounds  of  sd*  Town  should  appear  at  a  legal 
meeting  and  matters  fairly  tryed  we  are  fully  perswaded  there  is  a  majority 
with  us  against  them.

OUR  EXGUSH  PARENT  TOWNS. 
READING.* 

Bt  Okab  Fat  Ajmlm».  Esq..  of  B^Mlon. 

The  borcMigli  and  market  town  of  Reading  cannot  point  with 
certaintT  to  the  period  of  its  origin.  It  was  in  existence  when  the 
Danes  came  up  the  Kennet  and  made  the  spot  their  headquarters 
in  871,  but  history  does  not  go  further  back.  In  Domesday  Book 
it  is  mentioned  as  Radynges.  From  the  thirteenth  to  the  sixteenth 
centuries  pariiaments  were  occasionally  held  herw  and  in  the  Civil 
War  it  surrendered  to  the  Farliament  forces  under  Essex  in  U>43. 

The  Massachusetts  town*  incorporated  May  29,  1644^  named  in 
honor  of  the  Radynges  of  Domesday,  remains  a  quiet  rural  ciuumu- 
nity,  and  the  Pennsylvania  Reading,  surrounded  by  its  ci>nlon  ot 
hills  in  the  heart  of  Berks  County,  though  founded  a  century  after 
the  New  England  town,  bears  in  population  and  importance  far 
greater  resemblance  to  the  mother  town  across  the  sea.  In  Ver- 
mont  is  found  another  Reading,  chartered  July  6,  1761,  ami  there 
are  Readings  in  Illinois,  Iowa,  Kansas,  Michigan,  Missouri,  Ne- 
braska, New  York,  and  Ohio.  The  Massachusetts  locality,  origi- 
nally styled  Lynn  Village,  was  named  Reading  in  honor  of  the 
early  home  of  some  of  its  first  settlers. 

The  English  town  is  situated  on  the  Kennet,  near  its  junction 
with  the  Thames,  the  two  branches  of  the  former  stream  being  here 
spanned  by  four  bridges,  while  an  iron  suspension  bridge  crosses 
the  Thames  on  the  eastern  side  of  the  town.  A  water  route  to  the 
Severn  is  afforded  by  the  Kennet  and  Avon  Canal.  A  business- 
like air  is  everywhere  apparent,  and  a  live  business  town  one  soon 
finds  Reading  to  be.  Biscuit  making  heads  the  list  of  its  industries, 
the  biscuit  factory  of  Huntley  and  Palmer  being  the  larj^cst  in  the 
kingdom,  for  Reading  biscuits  are  as  widely  famous  as  IVars  Soap. 
In  the  suburbs  are  seed  farms  covering  more  than  three  thousand 
acres,  and  *'  Sutton's  Seeds "  have  carried  the  name  of  Reading 
around  the  world. 

In  1121,  Henry  I.  founded  here  a  Benedictine  monastery  which 
speedily  became  one  of  the  most  powerful  in  England.  Its  abbots 
were  mitred  and  kept  their  seats  in  Parliament  until,  at  the  word  of 
Henry  VIII.,  abbots  and  abbeys  ceased  to  be.     Hugh  Farrington,

the  last  abbot,  refusing  either  to  yield  up  his  convent  or  acknowl- 
edge the  monarch's  supremacy,  was,  with  two  of  his  monks,  summa- 
rily hanged,  drawn  and  quartered  before  the  gate  of  his  own  abbey, 
thus  iiimishing  to  all  concerned  an  object  lesson  of  a  kind  that  the 
king  was  not  at  all  averse  to  giving.  Somewhere  within  the  abbey 
Henry  I.  was  buried,  and  before  its  high  altar,  long  years  after, 
were  wedded  John  of  Gaunt  and  Blanche  of  Lancaster.  After  the 
suppression  of  the  abbey,  it  was  converted  into  a  palace  which  was 
demolished  in  the  Civil  War.  The  great  gateway,  carefiilly  re- 
stored in  1861,  yet  stands,  forming  a  portion  of  the  assize  courts,, 
a  public  thoroughfare  passing  beneath  its  hugh  arch. 

To  the  east  of  the  gate  is  a  long  row  of  stone  residences,  and  im- 
mediately beyond  these  is  the  greater  part  of  the  abbey  ruins ;  lofty, 
shapeless  masses  of  flint  and  rubble,  covering  several  acres.  Ex- 
cept in  the  case  of  the  chapter  house  and  the  great  hall  where  par- 
liaments were  held,  the  original  purpose  of  the  separate  portions, 
muffled  now  in  ivy,  cannot  be  definitely  settled.  To  the  north  of 
the  gateway  some  lesser  fragments  of  the  abbey  are  to  be  seen  in 
the  small  park  known  as  The  Forbury,  once  the  outer  court  of  the. 
abbey.  The  park  is  a  pleasant  spot  but  far  too  small,  an  objec- 
tion that  can  scarcely  be  urged  against  the  memorial  in  the  Forbury 
to  the  Berkshire  soldiers  killed  in  the  Afghan  wars — an  immense 
cast-iron  lion  on  a  pedestal.  The  material  does  not  commend  itself 
strongly  to  lovers  of  art,  but  the  lion  is  certainly  ferocious  of  aspect. 
Overlooking  the  park  is  a  Roman  Catholic  church  designed  by 
Welby  Pugin,  a  rather  lifeless  copy  of  Norman  models. 

The  four  ancient  churches  of  Reading  are  those  of  Saint  Giles,  in 
Southampton  Street,  consisting  of  nave,  aisles,  choir,  porch  and 
west  tower,  the  latter  sustaining  a  slender  stone  spire ;  Grey  Friars, 
in  part  a  restoration,  in  part  a  rebuilding  of  the  church  of  the  Grey 
Friars  monastery  ;  Saint  Mary  ;  and  Saint  Lawrence.  The  church 
of  Saint  Mary,  erected  in  1551  from  the  ruins  of  a  nunnery  founded 
by  Elfrida  in  repentance  for  the  murder  of  Edward  the  Martyr,  has 
an  open  timbered  roof,  and  in  outline  displays  nave,  choir,  gabled 
south  aisle,  north  transept,  and  western  pinnacled  tower.  It  has  a 
large  churchyard  with  modern  churchyard  cross,  and  faces  an  open 
area  called  The  Butts,  which  is  adorned  by  a  huge  fountain.  The 
church  of  Saint  Lawrence,  in  the  market  place,  shows  a  mixture  of 
the  work  of  the  First  and  Third  Pointed  periods,  and  contains  sev- 
eral interesting  monuments  and  brasses.  It  consists  of  nave,  north 
gabled  aisle,  chantry  chapel,  choir,  south  porch,  and  west  tower 
with  tall  pinnacles.  Its  west  window  is  a  memorial  to  Archbishop 
Laud,  a  native  of  Reading,  and  in  the  choir  is  a  window  to  the 
memory  of  Charles  Lamb. 

In  Friar  Street,  next  north  of  Saint  Lawrence,  are  the  municipal 
buildings,  of  red  and  black  brick,  erected  in  1875  and  1882,  the 
earlier  part  designed  by  the  architect  Waterhouse.     They  include 


1906.]  Our  English  Parent  Toums.  59 

a  Town  Hall,  council  chamber,  free  library,  museum,  and  govern- 
ment art  schools.  Other  buildings  of  importance  are  the  Royal 
Assembly  Room  in  Friar  Street,  Royal  County  Theatre,  Berkshire 
Hospital,  and  the  immense  and  gloomy  prison  made  famous  by 
Oscar  Wilde's  powerful  "  Ballad  of  Reading  Gaol."  In  Erleigh 
Street  is  the  Free  Grammar  School,  an  ancient  foundation  occupy- 
ing modern  structures.  Archbishop  Laud  was  once  a  pupil  here. 
In  the  shadow  of  the  tall  clock-tower  of  the  Municipal  Building  is 
a  marble  statue  of  Queen  Victoria,  and  in  Broad  Street  may  be 
Been  a  bronze  statue  of  the  late  Mr.  Palmer,  exhibiting  that  eminent 
biscuit  maker  in  a  standing  posture  and  of  heroic  size,  holding  in 
his  right  hand  a  silk  hat  and  a  partially  opened  umbrella.  It  was 
placed  in  position  some  years  before  the  death  of  its  subject,  and 
probably  afforded  him  keener  satisfaction  than  it  did  his  fellow  citi- 
zens. So  far  as  the  writer  is  aware,  it  furnishes  the  only  instance 
of  the  appearance  of  the  umbrella  as  a  monumental  adjunct. 

On  the  Oxfordshire  side  of  the  Thames  is  the  village  suburb  of 
Caversham ;  not  far  to  the  southward  is  the  village  of  Shiplake, ' 
in  whose  parish  church  the  poet  Tennyson  was  married,  while  at 
Bradfield,  a  few  miles  to  the  west  of  Reading,  is  the  College  of 
Saint  Andrew,  founded  in  1850  and  now  accommodating  over  300 
pupils. 


NOTES. 

To  evade  the  ship  money  tax,  already  referred  to  in  notes  by  me  upon  other  of 
the  English  Parent  Towns,  a  large  emigration  had  set  into  New  England.  In  the 
spring  of  1638  a  band  of  emigrants  was  formed  in  the  neigliboring  parts  of  the 
counties  of  Berlcs,  Wilts,  Hampshire,  and  Oxford.  Reading  is  about  fifty 
miles  north  from  Southampton ;  and  Gloucestershire  and  Dorset  on  tiie  went, 
and  Sussex  and  Surrey  on  the  east,  were  tiie  bounds  of  the  country  in  which 
dwelt  the  little  band  who  sailed  from  Southampton,  24  April,  1638. 

**  Th€  List  of  the  names  of  the  passengers  intended  for  New-England,  in  the 
good  sbipp,  the  Confidence  of  London,  of  200  tonnes,  John  Jobson  M'  and  thus 
by  virtue  oif  Lord  Treasurers  warrant  of  the  11th  of  April,  1638.**  (Rkgister, 
li,  109.)  At  the  head  of  the  list  was  the  family  of  Walter  Haynes,  linen  draper, 
who  settled  in  Sudbury,  Mass.,  and  who  came  from  Sutton  Mandeville,  Wilts, 
ten  miles  southwest  of  Salisbury.     (Kegistkr,  xxxix,  263;  xlvii,  72.) 

John  Blanford,  John  RIddet,  and  Richard  Bidcombe,  three  servants,  are  sup- 
posed to  have  come  from  the  same  place.  Unfortunately  the  parish  register 
docs  not  begin  till  1654. 

Peter  Noyes,  yeoman,  was  from  Penton  Mewsey,  Hampshire,  three  miles 
north-west  from  Andover.  John  Bent,  husbandman,  was  also  from  this  par- 
ish, or  rather  the  adjoining  part  called  Penton  Grafton.  (Registkr,  xxxii, 
407;  xlvili,  288.)  Nicholas  Guy,  of  Watertown,  Mass.,  carpenter,  came  from 
Upton  Gray,  Hampshire,  three  miles  south-west  from  Odiham,  and  five  south- 
east of  Basingstoke,  both  places  being  Identified  with  the  Dummer  family  who 
had  comea  few  years  before.  Roger  Porter,  husbandman,  of  Watertown,  came 
from  Long  Sutton,  Hampshire,  two  and  a-half  miles  south  of  Odiham.  Jr)hn 
Sanders,  husbandman,  of  Newbury.  Mass.,  came  from  Land  ford,  ten  miles 
south-east  from  Salisbury,  but  he  later  returned  to  England,  and  was  at  Wick 
farm  in  Downton,  Wilts.  He  married  Hester,  daughter  of  Johu  Rolfe  of  New- 
bury, who  was  a  fellow  passenger,  coming  from  Melchet  Park,  Whiteparish, 
Wilts,  seven  miles  south-east  from  Salisbury. 

Thomas  Goodenow  came  from  Shaftesbury,  on  the  borders  of  Dorset,  but  a

few  miles  south-west  of  Seraley,  Wilts,  where  his  brother  John  came  from, 
and  near  to  Dunhead,  Wilts,  where  Edmand  Goodenow  came  from. 

Edmund  and  William  Kerley,  of  Sudbury,  husbandmen,  were  from  Ashmore, 
Dorset,  five  miles  south-east  of  Shaftesbury  and  on  the  Wiltshire  border. 

John  Stephens,  of  Newbury,  husbandman,  was  from  Caversham,  Oxford- 
shire, just  across  the  Thames  from  Reading.  With  him  was  his  brother  Wil- 
liam. The  family  Is  an  old  one  there,  and  attained  some  prominence  In  later 
days.  In  the  17th  century  they  held  the  farm  of  •*  Aldwlnn's  Tenants,'*  and 
in  the  last  century  Mr.  John  Stephens  of  Caversham  Rise  was  a  benefactor  to 
the  poor,  by  a  bequest.  In  the  parish  church  of  St.  Peter  (origlually  Norman) 
the  east  window  Is  a  memorial  to  him. 

Thomas  Jones,  tailor,  of  Caversham,  Oxfordshire,  aged  86  years,  with  his 
wife  Ann  and  four  children,  came  to  New  England  In  1638.  He  was  not  the 
Thomas  Jones  of  Dorchester,  as  the  latter  was  here  in  1635.  He  was  the  father 
of  Abraham  Jones  of  Hull,  who  in  1658  sold  to  Daniel  Cushlng  land  in  the  plain 
neck,  Hlngham,  given  to  him  by  his  father  Thomas  Jones.  (Suffolk  Co.  Deeds, 
iv,  129.)  Abraham  Jones  in  1657  had  seven  sons,  Benjamin,  Thomas,  Abraham, 
Josiah,  Joseph,  John,  and  Ephralm.  (History  of  Hingham,  11,  386.)  The  land 
was  granted  by  the  town  to  Samuel  Ward  in  1637,  and  by  him  transferred  to 
Thomas  Jones  in  1638.     (Suffolk  Co.  Deeds,  Iv,  279.) 

Robert  Jones  appeared  In  Hingham  in  1637.  It  is  probable  he  was  a  relative 
of  Thomas;  if  not,  he  came  from  the  same  vicinity  In  England.  4  Dec,  1646, 
''Elizabeth  Curtes  &  Jaae  Curtes  granted  unto  Robert  Jones  of  Hingham 
theire  father  In  law  a  Ire  of  Attur'  to  aske  &c :  of  the  execute"  of  the  last  will

Another  settler  was  John  Benson,  who  also  came  from  Caversham.  He  was 
of  an  old  Oxfordshire  family  and  was  married  in  Caversham  church,  where 
at  least  one  of  his  children  was  baptized. 

On  the  Thames,  four  and  a  half  miles  north-east  of  Reading,  is  Shlplake, 
whence  came  the  widow  Martha  Wilder  and  her  daughter  Mary  to  join  other 
children  in  New  England.  Joseph  Parker,  tanner,  came  from  Newbury,  Eng- 
land. At  his  death  he  had  an  estate  In  England,  some  of  which  was  at  Romsey, 
Hampshire,  seven  miles  north-west  from  Southampton.  From  Romsey  also 
€ame  Richard  Bidgood,  of  Boston. 

Sarah  Osgood  and  four  children  came  from  Wherwell,  four  miles  south-east 
of  Andover  In  Hampshire.     (Register,  xx,  24.) 

Samuel  Sewall  had  relatives  In  the  Dummer  family  living  at  Romsey,  and  he 
also  owned  land  at  Lee  (Sewall's  Diary,  Vol.  1),  which  is  in  Romsey  Extra,  and 
(1880)  includes  the  farms  of  Henry  Swanton  and  Thomas  Wiltshire. 

The  will  of  Joan  Alexander,  of  Swallowfleld,  six  mlUs  south-east  from  Read- 
ing, was  probated  in  1629;  Henry  Alexander  of  Reading,  in  1625;  and  Angus- 
tin  Alexander  of  Reading,  1G36.     Richard  Curtis  of  Reading,  probated  1639. 

Thomas  Collier,  bom  in  England  in  1622,  married,  30 Dec,  1647,  Jane  Curtis. 
Robert  Jones,  In  his  will  In  1688,  mentions  his  daughter  Jane  Collier. 

21  Dec,  1649,  •♦  Thomas  Collier  of  Hull  husband  of  Jane  the  daughter  of 
Curtes  late  of  Reading  in  Berkshire  did  constitute  John  Curtes  his  brother  In

Ac**  (Aspinwall's  Notarial  Records,  p.  240-1.)  Thomas  Collier  died  In  1691, 
leaving  wife  Jane  and  five  children. 

John  Cogswell,  Jun.,  of  Ipswich,  Mass.,  in  a  letter  from  London,  dated  30 
Mch.,  1653,  speaks  of  his  cousin  Stevens.  (Register,  xv,  177.)  In  Massa- 
chusetts Archives,  xxxix,  506,  the  name  Is  given  as  Roger  Stevens  of  Redding, 
Co.  Berks.  Roger  Stephens  married,  29  July,  1640,  Martha  Blowers,  at  St. 
Mary's,  Reading. 

Waters*8  *'  Gleanings,**  i,  46,  gives  a  reference  to  the  will  of  Francis  Phips, 
the  elder,  of  Reading,  Eng.  The  will,  proved  Ib  1668,  mentions  his  son  Con- 
stantine,  who  was  baptized  9  Nov.,  1656,  at  St.  Mary*s,  Reading,  died  9  Oct.,

1723,  and  wms  buried  15  Oct.,  1723,  at  White  Waltham,  Berks,  ten  miles  east  of 
Beading.  This  Constantine  was  Lord  Chancellor  of  Ireland,  and  father  of  Wil- 
liam who  married  a  daughter  of  the  3d  Earl  of  Anglesey,  and  grandfather  of 
Constantine,  Baron  MulgraTe. 

The  first  Constantine  has  been  frequently  spoken  of,  erroneonslj,  as  a  son  of 
Sir  William  Pliips,  goremor  of  Massachusetts.  The  latter  was  a  son  of  James 
Fhips,  a  gunsmith  from  Bristol,  Eng.,  where  there  were  others  of  the  name. 
Francis  Phips  was  not  the  only  one  of  the  name  in  Beading,  Eng.,  as  there 
were,  contemporary  with  him,  Thomas  and  John  Phips,  tallow  chandlers. 

Augustine  Clement,  painter,  of  Dorchester,  came  from  Reading,  Eng.  He 
had  property  at  Wokingham  (not  Wockington,  as  given  by  Pope),  which  is 
seyen  miles  south-east  from  Beading.  The  property  was  then  (1638)  in  the 
possession  of  his  sister-in-law  Margaret  Mathew.  Another  sister,  Anne  Clement, 
was  living  at  Shinfield,  Berks,  four  miles  south  of  Reading.  The  parish  regis- 
ters of  Wokingham  b^^  in  1674,  and  of  Shinfield  in  1649. 

In  1635,  on  the  same  ship  with  Clement,  came  Sampson  Salter,  fisherman, 
who  was  from  Caversham,  and  went  to  Newport,  R.  I. 

Of  the  early  settlers  at  Reading,  Mass.,  the  only  one  who  seems  to  have  been 
connected  with  Reading,  Eng.,  is  John  Damon,  who  is  said  to  have  been  bap- 
tized in  the  church  of  St.  Lawrence,  Beading,  25  June,  1620,  and  settled  at 
Reading,  Mass.,  in  1644,  the  date  of  its  incorporation. 

The  records  of  Reading,  Eng.,  are  preserved  in  its  town  hall,  and  they  are 
ancient  and  numerous.  Besides  ancient  deeds,  accounts  of  the  Treasurers, 
etc.,  there  are  some  twentj-three  folio  volumes,  making  up  a  **  Corporation 
Diary'*  covering  two  centuries,  the  annals  of  the  town  from  1622-1822,  an  in- 
teresting period.  Of  this  material,  four  volumes  have  been  printed  by  the 
borough,  to  the  year  1654. 

The  Church  wardens'  accounts  of  St.  Mary,  Beading,  1550-1662,  and  its  Beg- 
isters,  1538-1812,  have  been  published.  A  History  of  St.  Lawrence,  Reading, 
has  also  been  printed.  Walter  Kendall  Watkiks.

THE  BRISTOL  BRANCH  OF  THE  FINNEY  FAMILY.* 

By  Franklik  C.  Cla&k,  M.D.,  of  ProTidence,  R.  I. 

This  family  appears  to  have  come  from  England  before  1639,  and  con- 
sisted of  a  mother,  a  daughter,  Catherine,  and  two  sons,  Robert  and  John. 

"  Mother  Finney"  died  in  Plymouth,  Apr.  22,  1650,  ''aged  upwards  of 
80"  years.

b.  1619,  and  d.  Oct.  9,  1710,  in  her  92d  yr. ;  d.  Jau.  7,  1687-^ ;  re- 
sided in  Plymouth ;  was  granted  land  in  1641 ;  a  freeman  in  1648 ; 
an  exciseman  and  juryman ;  deacon  of  the  church  from  1669  till 
his  death ;  and  deputy  from  Plymouth  to  the  General  Court,  1657- 
60,  '62-4.  '69,  71-2.  Having  no  issue,  he  willed  his  property  in 
Plymouth  to  his  two  nephews,  Robert  and  Josiah,  the  sons  of  his 
brother  J6hn ;  and  in  1689  they  petitioned  the  Court  for  the  lands 
left  them  by  their  uncle  Robert. 

1.  ill.    John,  called  "  John  the  Pilgrim." 

1.  JoHN^  FiNNET  married  first  Christiana,  or  Christian,  who  died  in 
Plymouth,  Sept.  9,  1649  ;  married  second,  June  10,  1650,  Abigail, 
daughter  of  Thomas  Bishop  and  widow  of  Henry  Coggin,  who 
died  May  6,  1653 ;  and  married  third,  June  26,  1654,  Elizabeth 
Bailey,  who  was  buried  in  Bristol,  Feb.  9,  1683-4.  He  received  a 
grant  of  land  in  Plymouth  in  1639,  and  again  in  1640  and  1641 ; 
was  made  freeman  in  1644 ;  was  an  exciseman  from  1646  to  1648 ; 
and  served  on  several  juries.  With  his  son  John,  Jr.,  he  was  ad- 
mitted a  freeman  of  Barnstable,  May  29,  1670,  where  John,  Jr., 
finally  settled.  He  was  at  one  time  a  resident  of  Scituate,  Mass. ; 
and  later  joined  the  company  which  settled  Bristol,  in  1680;  but  in 
1682  he  sold  his  interest  in  the  Mount  Hope  lands,  at  Bristol,  to 
his  son  Jonathan.  From  1682  no  record  of  him  appears  till  1702, 
when  he  seems  to  have  removed  to  Swansea,  Mass.  He  probably 
died  not  long  after,  as  a  deed  was  executed  by  him  at  that  time  to 
which  he  signed  with  a  mark.

PROCEEDINGS  OF  THE  NEW  ENGLAND  HISTORIC 

GENEALOGICAL  SOCIETY. 

B7  Gbo.  a.  Gordon,  A.M.,  Recording  Secretary. 

Boston,  Massachusetts,  4  October,  1905.  The  New  England  Historic  Genea- 
logical Society  held  a  stated  meeting  this  afternoon  at  half -past  two  o'clock,  in 
Marshall  P.  Wilder  hall,  18  Somerset  street,  the  President,  Hon.  James  Phiuney 
Baxter,  in  the  chair. 

Charles  Cowley,  LL.D.,  of  Lowell,  being  introdnced,  read  a  paper  on  Boston 
in  the  Civil  yVar,  1860-66,  from  a  Xaval  Vieto-Foint,  which  exhibited  exten- 
sive research  and  the  presentation  of  historical  events  not  hitherto  subjects  of 
remark.  It  was  a  careful  narration  of  deep  interest  to  the  audience,  and  was 
received  with  applause.  After  the  reading,  it  was  voted  that  Mr.  Cowley  be 
thanked  for  his  effort,  and  a  copy  be  requested  for  the  archives  of  the  Society. 

The  executive  officers,  severally,  presented  reports,  which  were  received, 
read,  accepted,  and  ordered  on  file. 

Five  new  resident  members  and  one  corresponding  member  were  elected. 

The  deaths  of  the  late  Treasurer,  Benjamin  Barstow  Torrey,and  Hon.  James 
Madison  Barker,  LL.D.,  were  announced,  and  committees  appointed  to  prepare 
minutes  expressive  of  the  respect  of  the  Society  for  their  memory. 

The  Treasurer  was  empowered  to  release  a  mortgage  on  certain  Kansas  prop- 
erty, and  to  receive  the  legacy  left  to  the  Society  by  the  late  Robert  Charles 
Wlnthrop,  Jr.,  A.M.,  of  Boston. 

The  meeting  then  dissolved. 

1  November.  A  stated  meeting  was  held  to-day  at  the  usual  time  and  place, 
with  the  President  in  the  chair.  Under  suspension  of  the  rules,  It  was  voted 
to  proceed  immediately  to  the  election  of  a  Nominating  Committee,  and  tellers 
were  appointed  and  the  polls  opened. 

The  operation  of  the  rules  being  resumed,  the  chair  introduced  William  Car- 
ver Bates,  of  Newton,  who  delivered,  ex  tempore,  an  address  upon  Personal  EZ' 
periences  in  Confederate  Prisons,  1861-2,  to  the  acceptance  of  an  interested 
audience.    A  vote  of  thanks  was  tendered  the  speaker.

On  motion,  it  was 

Voted,  That  the  Njw  Enj^land  Historic  Genealogical  Society  desires  to  ex- 
press its  approval  of  tlie  woriw  iieretofore  accomplished  by  the  Boston  Ceme- 
tery Department  in  publishing  illustrated  histories  of  certain  of  the  more 
ancient  burying-grounds  of  Boston ;  and,  also,  desires  to  express  the  hope  that 
the  Department  will  continue  its  work,  until  the  histories  of  all  such  burying- 
places  shall  have  been  published. 

The  polls  were  closed,  the  vote  canvassed  and  report  made,  which  was  read, 
accepted,  and  ordered  on  file.  The  chair  then  proclaimed  the  election  of  William 
Sumner  Appleton  of  Boston,  William  Carver  Bates  of  Newton,  George  Madison 
Bodge  of  West  Roxbury,  David  Henry  Brown  of  Medford,  and  Albert  Alonzo 
Folsom  of  Brookline,  as  the  Nominating  Committee  for  1905. 

The  executive  reports  were  then  made,  and  ordered  on  file. 

William  Carver  Bates,  of  the  committee  to  submit  a  minute  in  memoriam 
Benjamin  Barstow  Torrey,  of  Hanover,  deceased,  presented  the  following  trib- 
ute, which  was  received,  read,  accepted,  and  ordered  on  file  and  to  be  spread  upon 
the  record  of  this  meeting,  viz : 

Whereas,  Death  has  removed  from  us  one  who  was  for  many  years  a  Arm 
friend,  an  active  member,  and  a  trusted  officer  of  this  Society, 

Tkerefore,  We,  the  members  of  the  New  England  Historic  Genealogical  So- 
ciety, do  hereby  place  upon  record  our  deep  sense  of  loss  by  the  death  of  our 
associate,  Benjamin  Barstow  Torrey,  and  our  thankful  remembrance  and  sin- 
cere appreciation  of  his  work  while  with  us. 

Born  of  sturdy  New  England  stock,  he  Inherited  those  qualities  of  mind  and 
heart  which  such  an  ancestry  often  transmits  to  its  descendants.  Beginning  an 
active  life  at  an  early  age,  he  remained  a  lifetime  in  the  service  of  a  great  cor- 
poration and  for  nearly  forty  years  was  its  trusted  and  faithful  treasurer,  serv- 
ing it  with  ability  and  discretion,  adding  during  ten  years  of  that  service  the 
duties  of  the  treasurership  of  a  kindred  corporation.  Elected  treasurer  of  this 
Society  in  1871,  succeeding  the  late  William  Blanchard  Towne,  he  brought  to 
its  lesser  duties  those  traits  of  integrity  and  honesty  of  purpose  which  charac- 
terized his  life  in  broader  lields ;  and  for  thirty-three  years,  a  longer  service 
than  has  been  borne  by  any  other  treasurer  of  the  Society,  he  was  an  efficient 
adviser  and  conservator  in  liuancial  matters.  As  a  member  of  the  Council,  his 
genial  temper,  good>fellowship,  and  sound  judgment  gave  him  the  respect  and 
friendship  of  his  associates. 

John  Noble,  LL.D.,  of  Boston,  of  the  committee  to  submit  a  minute  in  me- 
moriam James  Madison  Barker,  of  Pittsfield,  deceased,  presented  the  following 
tribute,  which  was  received,  read,  accepted,  and  ordered  on  file  and  to  be  spread 
upon  the  record  of  this  meeting,  viz  : 

James  Madison  Barker  died  in  Boston  the  third  day  of  October,  1905. 

The  New  England  Historic  Genealogical  Society  places  on  record  its  sense  of 
the  great  loss  it  has  sustained  in  the  death  of  a  most  honored  and  valued  mem- 
ber. It  records  its  recognition  of  a  public  career  distinguished  and  remarkable 
in  many  fields  of  service  and  action. 

He  has  been  a  legislator  of  broad  and  liberal  views,  of  absolute  independ- 
ence, and  of  wisdom  and  foresight.  He  was  a  man  of  affinirs,  of  sound  judg- 
ment, sagacity  and  business  capacity,  proved  in  the  many  offices  of  trust  and 
honor  held  by  him  through  his  life.  A  loyal  son  of  Williams  College,  he  was 
for  many  years  a  member  of  its  Board  of  Trustees. 

He  was  most  widely  known,  perhaps,  through  his  judicial  service,— for  nine 
years  on  the  Bench  of  the  Superior  Court,  under  the  appointment  of  Governor 
Long,  in  1882,  and  on  the  Bench  of  the  Supreme  Judicial  Court,  under  the  ap- 
pointment of  Governor  Russell,  from  June  18th,  1891,  till  the  time  of  his  death. 
He  had,  in  a  high  degree,  the  essential  qualities  of  a  judge,— wide  and  accurate 
knowledge  of  existing  law,  legal  learning  and  a  grip  of  legal  principles, — the 
legal  instinct,  acute  perception,  unusual  power  of  analysis,  the  faculty  of 
sifting  and  weighing  evidence,  the  sure  grasp  of  the  controlling  elements  of 
a  case,  paiustakiug  industry,  scrupulous  concientiousness,  patience,  dignified 
courtesy,  and  the  aim  to  do  exact  justice  always  and  evei7where. 

As  a  citizen  he  was  public  spirited,  alive  to  the  highest  duties  of  citizenship, 
and  ready  to  do  his  full  share  therein.  He  was  a  man  of  fine  culture  and  intel- 
lectual endowment,  of  great  charm  of  manner  and  bearing,  a  lover  of  outdoor 
life  with  a  keen  enjoyment  of  all  its  manly  sports,  genial  and  cordial,  a  most 
attractive  and  welcome  companion.  He  was  a  loyal  friend,  full  of  broad  and 
tender  sympathies,  of  generous  kindness,  hearty  feeling,  always  faithful  and

troe.  He  was  a  man  in  all  the  relations  of  life,  of  absolute  integrity,  of  the 
highest  sense  of  honor,  and  of  stainless  character. 

Twenty  new  members  were  elected. 

The  pro|>osed  amendments  to  the  By-laws,  as  reported  by  a  committee  at  the 
special  meeting  in  May,  were  given  consideration  and  passage,  viz : 

That  article  1,  chapter  II,  of  the  By-Laws,  be  amended  so  that  line  numbered 
seven  in  the  present  edition  shall  read : — A  majority  of  votes  shall  elect,  bnt  ten 
affirmative  votes  shall  be  required. 

That  article  1,  chapter  III,  of  the  By-Laws,  be  amended  so  that  the  fourteenth 
line  of  the  present  edition  shall  read :— Ten  members  shall  constitute  a  quorum 
for  the  election  of  members,  and  twenty  members  for  all  other  purposes. 

No  further  business  being  presented,  the  meeting  dissolved. 


NOTES  AND  QUERIES. 
Notes. 


Odell.— William  Odell,  the  founder  of  an  American  family  of  that  name,  is 
traced  as  early  as  1639  at  Concord,  Mass.,  where  his  children  James  (died  1641) 
and  Rebecca  were  born.  He  may  have  been  the  brother  of  Ursula  Wodell  (also 
written  Odle),  who  married  Christopher  Woolly  (WoUle)  at  Concord  In  1646. 

William  Odell  died  at  Fairfield,  Conn.,  in  1676;  his  will  proved  there  June 

6th  of  that  year  mentions,  among  others,  his  sons  William  and  John  Odell  and 

daughter  Rebecca  Moorehouse,  and  disposes  of  lands  in  Concord  and  Fairfield. 

William  Odeirs  English  ancestry  seems  likely  to  be  ascertained  from  the 

following  interesting  clue : 

Cranfleld,  Bedfordshire,  England,  is  a  small  parish  about  eight  miles  from 
the  village  of  Odell  In  the  same  county.  The  Cranfleld  Church  Register  re- 
cords nearly  seventy  entries  of  Odell  baptisms,  marriages  and  burials,  between 
the  years  1602  and  1625,  the  name  being  variously  written  Wodell,  Odell,  Odle, 
Woddell,  Woddle,  etc.  (See  Register,  vol.  46,  pages  7-8.)  Among  these  en- 
tries are  the  following : — 

1602,  Feb.  24,  William,  son  of  William  Wodell  of  Warleyend,  baptized. 
1615.  July  22,  William  Odle  of  Worley,  buried. 

Perhaps  this  is  the  record  of  the  baptism  of  William  Odell  who  came  to  New 
England,  and  of  the  burial  of  his  father. 

The  name  *'  Warleyend"  is  doubtless  that  of  a  hamlet  about  one  mile  from 
Cranfleld,  which  appears  on  an  old  map  of  Bedfordshire  as  *<  Wallerd  or  Wall 
End." 

In  Cranfleld  Parish  there  was,  in  1632,  a  district,  or  possibly  an  estate,  known 
as  ''  Virginia."  Now  it  is  a  very  signiflcant  and  suggestive  fact,  as  disclosed 
by  the  local  New  England  records,  that  at  Concord,  Mass.,  the  original  road, 
cut  through  the  woods  by  the  first  settlers,  has  been  called  since  1650  "the 
Virginia  Road,"  and  the  district  through  which  it  runs,  **  Virginy."  It  is  also 
a  fact  that,  at  Concord,  the  plain  just  at  the  end  of  Virginia  was  described  as 
•*  Cranetleld"  in  the  Town  Records  as  early  as  1648,  and  has  so  continued  to  be 
described  almost  to  the  present  day.  It  would  certainly  seem  that  these 
names,  "  Virginia"  and  "  Cranefleld,"  were  given  by  the  early  settlers  of  Con- 
C9rd  in  memory  of  their  English  home. 

It  should  also  be  borne  in  mind  that  the  first  minister  of  Concord,  the  Rev. 
Peter  Bulkeley,  who  came  to  New  England  in  1635,  was  from  Odell  Parish, 
Bedfordshire,  where  he  had  been  rector  for  many  years. 

What  has  been  related  herein  seems  to  furnish  a  good  foundation  for  further 
research.  Rufus  Kino.

Washington.— The  following  extract  from  a  letter  of  the  Rev.  R.  T.  Love, 
M.A.,  Rector  of  Purlelgh,  Maldon,  co.  Essex,  England,  to  the  Editor,  will  Ije 
of  interest  in  connection  with  Mr.  Waters's  gleanings  concerning  the  Wash- 
ington family.    The  •'  printed  circulars  "refer  to  a  plan  for  restoring  the  tower

of  Parleigh  Church,  an  appeal  in  behalf  of  which  will  be  found  elsewhere  in 
this  issue. 

"  I  enclose  some  printed  circulars  showing  the  object  which  I  have  in  view  — 
viz.,  a  memorial  to  the  connection  between  George  Washington  and  Purleigh, 
as  the  last  link  with  the  old  country.  The  American  flag  will  be  hung  out 
every  year  on  his  birthday  when  the  tower  is  repaired. 

We  have  found  the  entry  of  Lawrence  Washington's  burial  at  Maldon.  In 
the  Dr.  Plume's  Library  at  that  place,  which  is  situated  on  the  site  of  the  old 
church  of  St.  Peter's,  may  be  seen  a  certified  copy  of  the  Parish  Registers. 
The  entry  is  as  follows— amongst  the  burials : 

*  M'  La\^rence  Washington  21  January  1653.* 

Now  this  date  fits  in  with  Mr.  Waters's  theory,  which  necessitates  the  death 
of  the  father  before  1G55,  when  John  Washington  was  of  age  and  proved  a 
will. 

In  a  letter  to  *  The  Times/  immediately  before  our  Mansion  House  meeting, 
it  was  said  that  there  was  no  proof  of  the  marriage  of  the  rector  of  Purleigh. 
But  as  I  find  that  he  resigned  his  fellowship  at  Brasenose  1632-3,  about  the 
same  time  as  that  in  which  he  became  rector  of  Purleigh,  there  appears  a  very 
strong  prima  facie  evidence  of  his  marriage.  A  man  does  not  resign  £2-300  a 
year,  the  value  of  a  fellowship,  when  he  has  no  private  means,  except  on  com- 
pulsion. Mr.  Lawrence  Washington  had  little  or  no  private  means  (his  debt 
at  Oxford  is  in  evidence),  and  the  only  compulsion  which  could  be  applied  to 
him  to  compel  his  resignation  would  be  a  marriage.  Fellows  did  not  (until  the 
late  new  regulation)  resign  their  fellowships  on  becoming  beneficed  clergymen, 
unless  the  benefice  was  a  college  living.  Fellowships  were  held  on  life  tenure, 
whether  the  fellows  did  work  for  it  or  not.  But  when  they  married,  they  lost 
their  fellowships.  It  is  stated  that  Lawrence  Washington  lost  his  fellowship 
1632-3,  therefore  he  married.  He  then  received  at  about  the  same  time  the 
living  of  Purleigh  on  presentation  of  Mrs.  Jane  Horsmanden,  widow;  not  a 
college  living. 

These  two  items  —  his  burial  at  Maldon,  and  the  fact  that  his  marriage  only 
would  necessitate  his  resignation  of  his  fellowship  —  I  have  not  seen  noted." 


RoBY.— In  the  Public  Library  at  Wayland,  Mass.,  in  a  Journal  of  Dr.  Eben- 
ezer  Roby  during  a  visit  to  England  and  Holland  in  1726,  is  the  following 
genealogical  record  from  a  Roby  family  Bible  which  is  briefly  mentioned  by 
Savage  (vol.  3,  page  648;. 

Dr.  Roby  was  born  in  Boston,  Mass.,  20  Sept.,  1701,  graduated  at  Harvard 
College  in  1719,  settled  in  Sudbury,  Mass.,  in  1725,  and  died  in  Sudbury,  4  Sept.,

[This  is  the  Richard,'  mentioned  in  my  communication  to  the  Rroister  (^ante^ 
vol.  37,  page  84)  in  1883,  after  visiting  Thornbury,  Gloucestershire,  England, 
who  appears  in  the  registers  of  St.  Mary's  Church  in  that  town  as  '*  Richard 
Tayer,  baptized  10  February  1624 [6].*' 

His  father,  Richard^  Tayer  (Thayer),  who  came  to  New  England  in  1641  with 
eight  children — Richard,  Sarah,  Jael,  Deborah,  Zachariah,  Hester,  Nathaniel, 
and  Cornelius— and  settled  at  Bralntree,  Mass.,  was  baptized  at  Thornbury,  6 
April,  1601,  and  married  there,  6  April,  1624,  Dorothy  Mortimore,  who  was 
boried  at  Thornbury,  17  January,  1640[1],  and  was  the  mother  of  his  children 
above  named. 

There  has  been  much  confusion  as  to  the  dates  of  death  of  the  various 
Richard  Thayers.  Richarid^  the  emigrant  was  dead  before  20th  2d  mo.  1668, 
as  shown  In  a  deed  (Suffolk  Co.  Deeds,  V,  446)  of  his  son  Richard,'  who  died 
27  August,  1696,  and  whose  gravestone  record  Mr.  Whorf  has  copied. 

Richard'  (Richard,* Richard*)  died  4  December,  1706  (Bralntree records); 
and  his  wife  Rebecca  (Mlcall)  died  28  January,  1782,  aged  73  years  8  days 
(gravestone). 

Richard*  Thayer  (Richard,'  Richard,*  Richard*)  died  In  1774  (will  probated 
27  May,  1774,  Suffolk  Co.). 

Richard,*  son  of  Cornelius'  and  Abigail  (Hayden),  died  11  September,  1729, 
in  his  33d  year  (gravestone) .

to  the  Tayer  (Thayer)  family,  to  be  communicated  by  Mr.  Faxon  and  Mr.  Whorf,

Stimpson-Frothingham.— The  article  on  the  Stimpson  family,  ante,  vol.  69, 
p.  248,  errs  in  giving  the  date  Dec.  26, 1776,  as  the  date  on  the  gravestone  at  Wo- 
bum  of  the  death  of  Thomas  Frothingham  of  Charlestown.  The  inscription 
reads :  Jan.  1,  1776.  (Woburn  Epitaphs,  p.  48.)  Wyman's  Charlestown,  p.  392, 
says  of  Thomas  Frothingham  :  "  d.  Dec.  26,  1776  (g.  s.  at  Wobum  has  1776)  *•; 
but  the  lack  of  sufficient  words  to  complete  the  sense  is  a  common  fault  of  the 
style  of  literary  composition  adopted  by  Wyman  in  his  monumental  work.  The 
latter  part  of  the  sentence  would  have  been  correct  had  it  read:  **  (g.  s.  at 
Woburu  has  Jan,  1,  1776)." 

On  the  other  hand,  the  extract  from  Wyman's  letter  of  Oct.  18,  1873,  printed 
as  a  note  to  the  epitaph  of  Thomas  Frothingham,  Woburn  Epitaphs,  p.  48,  is 
full  of  errors  when  compared  with  Wyman's  Charlestown,  pp.  391,  392.

Heraldry  in  New  England.— The  following  extracts  from  a  letter  of 
Joseph  L.  Chester  to  William  H.  Whltmore,  dated  London,  Mch.  19, 1864,  seem 
worth  preserving : 

**  Of  course  I  do  not  mean  to  say  that  no  early  New  England  families  were 
entitled  to  bear  arms,  for  we  all  know  better,  but  I  do  mean  to  assert  that  the 
proportion  was  very  small.  I  rather  take  pride  In  my  position  that  the  greatest 
majority  of  the  early  settlers  were  of  the  hardy  yeomanry  of  England,  rather 
than  from  a  socially  higher  class."  ••♦*»*  The  use  of  amis  Is  the  very 
weakest  of  all  evidence.  I  find  them  now  on  the  old  tombstones  where  It  Is 
certain  that  the  Individual  burled  had  not  the  slightest  claim  to  them.  The 
very  tombstones  themselves  are  questionable  evidence."  Editor. 


MussKY.— In  my  investigations  of  this  family — also  spelled  Mussall,  Mussell, 
Mudgett,  Mussy,  Muzzey,  Muzzye — I  have  failed  to  discover  any  records  earlier 
than  those  of  the  brothers  Abraham  and  John  who  took  the  oath  of  allegiance, 
26  March  1634,  to  pass  to  New  England  In  the  John  and  Mary.  Of  Abraham 
nothing  further  is  known.  John  settled  at  Ipswich,  Mass.,  In  1634,  as  did  a 
Robert,  who  perhaps  was  a  brother,  and  both  had  grants  of  land  that  year. 
Robert  was  made  freeman  in  1664.  There  was  a  Thomas  at  Cape  Porpoise, 
Me.,  in  1663. 

John,  who  was  born  about  1610,  moved  to  Salisbury,  Mass.,  in  1640,  married 

Lydla of  Cape  Porpoise,  who  was  living  in  1690,  and  was  the  progenitor 

of  the  Portland,  Me.,  branch  of  the  family. 

Robert,  who  married  Bridget  Bradstreet,  also  went  to  Salisbury,  thence  to 
Fulling  Point  and  Maiden,  Mass.  He  bought  land  In  Cambridge,  that  part  ad- 
joining Lexington,  Mass.,  and  was  the  progenitor  of  the  Lexington  branch  of 
the  family.  A  type-written  list  of  his  descendants,  collated  by  me.  Is  deposited

The  following  copy  of  a  circular  Issued  by  the  State  of  New  Hampshire  will 
be  of  interest : 

The  State  of  New  Hamfshire,  Department  of  Vital  Statistics. 
To  Perfect  the  Records  of  Births,  Marriages,  and  Deaths. 
Instructions  :— 

Purpose  of  the  Zkxio.— The  action  of  the  last  leglslatare  emphasizes  the  fact 
that  It  Is  the  policy  of  the  state  to  secure,  for  the  purpose  of  safety,  record 
and  ready  reference,  every  record,  or  part  of  record,  or  scrap  of  personal  his- 
tory, connected  with  the  births,  marriages  and  deaths  that  have  taken  place  in 
this  state.  Nearly  one  million  such  records  are  now  on  file  In  the  Department 
of  Vital  Statistics,  alphabetically  arranged  and  grouped  by  family  names,  so 
that  an  individual  record  may  be  found  in  a  moment. 

It  is  intended  to  add  to  this  group  all  the  records  in  the  possession  of  the 
towns  and  cities  of  the  state  not  hitherto  reported,  as  provided  for  in  chapter 
21,  Laws  of  1905. 

Occasional  losses  of  town  records  by  fire  and  other  causes,  and  the  greater 
convenience  of  having  a  central  office  for  all  such  records,  always  available  to 
any  individual  in  the  state,  upon  application,  without  expense,  and  the  fact  that 
such  records  are  becoming  more  valuable  each  year,  and  are  sought  for  legal, 
personal,  genealojzlcal,  historical  and  other  purposes,  makes  it  a  matter  of  great 
Importance  that  the  provisions  of  this  law  be  most  carefully  and  conscientiously 
carried  out. 

Beturns  Jfade.— In  1849  the  legislature  enacted  a  law  requiring  births,  mar- 
riages and  deaths,  to  be  returned  annually  by  town  clerks  to  the  secretary  of 
state.  The  first  returns  under  this  law  were  made  in  March,  1851.  Some  towns 
complied  with  the  provisions  of  the  law,  others  did  not,  and  it  is  apparent  that 
no  attempt  was  made  to  enforce  it  by  state  authorities.  It  therefore  follows 
that  for  a  period  of  years,  or  for  certain  individual  years,  many  towns  made  no 
report.  All  such  will  be  required  to  complete  the  records  under  the  law  of  last 
session. 

Old  Town  Records, — We  have  examined  some  of  the  old  town  records,  and 
have  also  received  reports  concerning  them  from  several  town  clerks,  all  of 
which  shows  that  in  order  to  ascertain  all  the  records  of  births,  marriages  and 
deaths  in  the  possession  of  the  towns,  it  will  be  necessary  for  the  clerks  to 
examine,  page  by  page,  these  earlier  books,  as  frequently  the  record  of  a  family, 
or  of  a  marriage  or  a  birth,  was  Inserted  in  the  town  records  wherever  con- 
venient, not  infrequently  interspersed  with  other  town  matters,  sometimes  en- 
tered  on  the  margin  of  a  leaf,  or  on  the  fly-leaf,  etc.,  so  that  a  most  careful 
search  will  be  necessary  to  find  all  these  entries.  Many  of  them  are  very  in- 
complete, marriages  giving  only  the  name  of  the  bride  and  the  groom,  and  the

date  of  marriage,  and  a  birth  record,  not  infrequently  giving  only  the  name  of 
the  father ;  but  no  matter  how  meagre  and  fragmentary  the  records  may  be, 
each  should  be  copied,  and  will  constitute  an  individual  record  under  the  law. 

Hoyjo  the  Work  voill  he  Done. — In  order  to  assist  in  the  work  of  collecting 
these  records,  the  registrar  of  vital  statistics  will  request  the  returns  to  be 
made  for  stated  periods,  the  first  dating  from  the  proprietor's  records  or  the 
incorporation  of  the  town  down  to  a  certain  date,  which  will  be  stated.  The 
second  call  for  records  will  be  from  the  latter  date  to  a  subsequent  one,  and  so 
on  until  the  work  Is  completed.  Town  clerks  will,  therefore,  be  requested  to 
take  up  the  work  in  chronological  order,  as  stated. 

Each  individual  record  must  be  made  on  a  separate  card  (yellow) ;  must  give 
whatever  data  are  found  in  their  proper  places ;  each  must  be  signed  by  the 
town  clerk,  and  be  dated.  The  records  may  be  transmitted  to  the  Department 
of  Vital  Statistics  at  any  time,  preferable  as  often  as  once  a  month.  A  blank 
card  (a  few  of  which  will  be  furnished  with  the  record  cards)  must  be  filled, 
giving  the  number,  each,  of  births,  marriages,  and  deaths  so  returned,  and  the 
years  covered  in  the  search.  When  received  at  the  Department  of  Vital  Sta- 
tistics, a  receipt,  which  will  be  the  town  clerk's  voucher  for  his  fees,  will  be 
forwarded  by  mail.  It  is  necessary  that  the  transmittal  blank  be  properly  filled, 
in  order  that  a  statement  of  the  work  may  be  Incorporated  in  the  receipt. 

Compensation, — The  law  provides  that  the  town  clerk  shall  receive  five  cents 
for  each  record  returned  in  accordance  with  the  law.  This  fee  is  not  to  be  re- 
garded as  a  part  of  his  annual  salary,  nor  to  be  accounted  for  in  any  way  to  the 
town  other  than  by  the  presentation  of  the  receipt  from  the  Department  of  Vi- 
tal Statistics,  showing  that  the  work  has  been  done  in  accordance  with  the  pro- 
visions of'  the  Public  Statutes. 

No  act  of  the  town  requiring  the  clerk  to  turn  all  fees  into  its  treasury  can 
apply  in  this  case.  The  compensation  Is  for  a  specific  work  required  by  the 
state,  and  no  act  can  deprive  the  town  clerk  of  that  fee. 

It  Is  possible  that  the  sum  allowed  will  scarcely  pay  for  the  time  required  to 
make  a  careful  search  of  the  earlier  town  records,  but  later  in  this  work  the 
records  of  certain  years  will  be  called  for  which  most  towns  now  have  entered 
upon  special  books,  so  that  they  can  be  readily  copied,  without  research,  and 
will  prove  remunerative,  so  that,  taken  as  a  whole,  the  town  clerks  will  be  rea- 
sonably well  paid  for  their  services. 

Special  iVb^e.— Black  ink  must  be  used  In  all  cases.  No  hand  stamps  will  be 
allowed.  Each  name  must  be  written  so  plainly  that  every  letter  can  be  made 
out.  The  cards  must  be  kept  neat  and  clean.  Any  question  on  the  card  that 
cannot  be  answered  should  be  left  blank.  The  cards  must  not  be  folded.  The 
cards  should  not  be  numbered.  Transmit  the  records  to  the  Department  of  Vi- 
tal Statistics  in  long  envelopes,  by  mall  or  express,  prepaid.  Additional  blanks 
will  be  furnished  upon  application. 

If  there  Is  anything  not  perfectly  clear,  or  Is  not  fully  understood,  the  regis- 
trar of  vital  statistics  will  be  glad  to  explain  or  to  give  further  information  at 
any  time.  We  trust  that  everyone  who  has  to  do  with  this  work  will  have  a 
conscientious  regard  for  exactness  and  accuracy,  and  may  realize  fully  Its  im- 
dortance  to  the  state.

Note, — We  have  found  that  in  some  instances  the  certificates  of  births,  mar- 
riages and  deaths  returned  to  the  town  clerk  by  the  officiating  clergymen  and 
physicians  were  not  recorded  on  the  books,  but  put  away  in  packages  or  into 
pigeon  holes.  All  of  these  must  be  copied  and  returned.  A  return  must  be 
made  of  every  record,  no  matter  how  It  may  have  been  kept,  for  the  years  called 
for  by  the  registrar  of  vital  statistics. 

Genealogies  in  Preparation. — Persons  of  the  several  names  are  advised  to 
furnish  the  compilers  of  these  genealogies  with  records  of  their  own  families 
and  other  Information  which  they  think  may  be  useful.  We  would  suggest  that 
all  facts  of  Interest  Illustrating  family  history  or  character  be  communicated, 
especially  service  under  the  U.  S.  Government,  the  holding  of  other  ofllces, 
graduation  from  college  or  professional  schools,  occupation,  with  places  and 
dates  of  birth,  marriage,  residence,  and  death.  When  there  are  more  than  one 
Christian  name,  they  should  all  be  given  In  full  if  possible.  No  Initials  should 
be  used  when  the  full  name  is  known.

These  very  beautiful  volumes  are  the  product  of  fifteen  years  of  labor  both  in 
this  country  and  abroad.  An  account  of  the  family  in  Ireland  from  the  twelfth 
to  the  middle  of  the  seventeenth  century  is  given,  as  well  as  a  record  of  ten  gene- 
rations of  the  descendants  of  Edmund  Fanning  in  this  country,  which  includes 
the  descendants  of  Capt.  James  Fanning  who  settled  in  Long  Island  abont  1716.

This  genealogy  comprises  solely  the  descendants  of  Andrew  Greele  of  Salis- 
bury, Mass.  It  is  not  to  be  regarded  as  a  history  of  the  family,  as  biographical 
notices  are  too  infrequent  among  the  fourteen  thousand  descendants  here  re- 
corded. As  a  genealogy  It  is  apparently  as  exhaustive  as  works  of  this  nature 
can  be  made.  There  are  sixteen  illustrations,  nearly  all  portraits.  It  is  well 
indexed.

The  concluding  paragraph  of  the  preface  of  this  genealogy  is  so  remarkable 
that  we  copy  it,  as  best  showing  the  character  of  the  work :  *'  The  compiler, 
having  been  practically  unlimited  by  his  principal  in  the  matter  of  expenditure, 
can  conscientiously  state  that  no  record  likely  to  cast  even  a  side  light  upon 
the  subject  has  rested  unexamined,  and,  finally,  the  following  pedigree  has 
been  compiled  from  Family  Archives,  existing  Official  Records  as  cited  or  set 
forth  at  large,  and  from  the  ancient  Welsh  Authorities,  some  in  one  time,  some 
in  another,  so  thi|t  no  man  hereafter  may  either  augment  it  or  lessen  it,  or  form 
a  new  pedigree  or  lose  the  old."  It  is  only  to  the  Welsh  portion  of  the  pedigree 
that  t^is  applies ;  the  author  does  not  consider  himself  responsible  for  the  Penn- 
sylvania section,  as  that  has  been  supplied  by  members  of  the  family.  There 
are  several  facsimilies,  and  paper  and  type  are  excellent.     There  is  no  index.

A  life  of  Captain  Standish  is  necessarily  little  else  than  the  history  of  the 
Pilgrims  from  the  time  of  their  landing  at  Plymouth  to  the  date  of  his  death, 
in  1656.  Of  the  career  of  the  Captain  previous  to  his  association  with  the  Pil- 
grims we  have  the  scantiest  information.  This  book  furnishes  quite  a  history 
of  the  Pilgrim  colony,  preceded  by  exceedingly  flue  chapters  on  the  *'  England 
of  the  Pilgrims,"  '•  The  Separatists,"  and  **  The  Standish  Family."  The  char- 
acterization of  Standish  seems  a  correct  one,  and  it  is  written  in  a  very  clear 
style.

This  work  consists  of  two  parts,  the  first  being  "  Records  prior  to  1600,"  the 
second,  *'  Officials  prior  to  1600."  The  first  part  contains  five  volumes  of  ''  Diet

to  each  book,  provides  an  introduction,  a  table  of  contents,  and  illustrative  ex-

a  series  of  biographical  sketches,  though  in  mere  outline.  The  verdict  ex- 
pressed in  the  '*  General  Introduction  "  on  the  six  books  of  part  first  is  that  the 
items  of  value  to  the  legal  antiquarian  and  genealogist  will  be  found  infrequent.

The  unique  feature  of  this  history  is  an  entertaining  Narrative  which  com- 
prises Part  1.,  and  portrays  minutely  the  every-day  life  of  the  early  settler  of 
Concord, — his  natural  surroundings  and  the  obstacles  he  had  to  overcome  m 
order  to  make  his  home,  his  relations  with  the  Indians,  religious,  civil,  and  so- 
cial life,  superstitions,  manners  and  dress.  The  author  has  employed  both  fic- 
tion and  fact  in  order  to  produce  this  detailed  pen-picture  of  colonial  days. 

Part  II.  gives  chronologically  the  annals  of  the  town  from  1635  to  1092,  and 
furnishes  brief  biographical  sketches  of  the  original  grantees.  Many  old  or

most  of  them,  with  portraits  of  noted  Concord  people,  are  among  tlie  tine  Illus-

The  influence  of  charters,  governors,  and  changing  policies,  through  two 
and  a  half  centuries,  upon  the  origins  and  bounds  of  a  frontier  town  are  here 
traced  with  remarkable  clearness.  Dr.  Green  shows  his  abiding  affection  for 
Groton,  his  deep  insight  into  New  England  character,  his  knowledge  along 
many  lines,  and  his  intercourse  with  men.  He  describes  a  visit  to  the  English 
Groton,  and  adds  notes  on  other  towns  of  the  name,  on  Indian  words,  and  on 
subjects  of  local  interest.  The  address  will  be  read  with  pleasure  for  its  ac-

More  than  one  kind  of  specialist,  as  well  as  the  general  student  of  history, 
will  find  here  material  of  unusual  interest  and  utility.    Every  aspect  of  the 
colonial  development  of  the  town  has  been  carefully  and  sclentiflcally  investi- 
gated, and  the  results  are  presented  in  a  well-made  and  well-printed  book,  with 
*  exceptionally  beautiful  illustrations.    Speciflcations  for  building  some  of  the 
old  houses  here  photographed  give  us  an  insight  into  colonial  architecture  sel- 
dom obtained,  and  the  witchcraft  papers,  early  court  records,  military  rolls  and 
private  letters  are  all  valuable,  but  even  more  noticeable  than  these  are  the  ab- 
stracts of  land  titles,  extending  from  the  original  grantee  to  the  present  time. 
The  appendices  furnish  a  list  of  the  first  settlers,  early  inventories,  letters  of 
Rev.  Nathaniel  Ward,  Giles  Firmin,  Samuel  Symonds,  Sarah  Goodhue,  and  the 
narrative  of  Rev.  John  Wise.    The  analytical  index  is  excellent.         a.  l.  w.

Map. 

This  Is  a  work  of  the  most  thorough  character,  beginning  with  the  geology 
of  the  region  of  which  it  treats,  and  its  prehistoric  Inhabitants,  and  then  pro- 
ceeding to  narrate  the  first  explorations,  the  various  wars  of  which  the  Basin 
has  been  the  theatre,  including  that  of  1812,  the  subjects  of  the  concluding 
chapters  being  treaties  with  the  Indians  and  missionary  activities  among  them, 
the  present  drainage  system,  the  first  American  settlers,  the  organization  of 
eountles,  the  development  of  communication,  public  lands,  schools  and  libraries. 
While  agreeing  with  the  author  that  the  actions  of  the  aborigines  should  be 
related  in  the  spirit  of  the  historian  and  not  of  the  sentimentalist,  we  doubt  If 
everyone  would  describe  their  treatment  by  the  government  as  ••  the  ever  mag- 
nanimous dealings  with  them  of  the  United  States."

tieth  Anniversary  of  the  permanent  Settlement  of  the  Town.     Weymouth  in  its

JFbancis  Adams,  before  the  Weymouth  Historical  Society,  September  23, 1904. 
Published  by  the  Weymouth  Historical  Society.    8vo.  pp.  164. 
This  interesting  and  suggestive  volume  contains  much  to  arrest  attention. 
In  fais  first  address,  Mr.  Adams  gave  the  history  of  Weymouth,  but  with  no 
attempt  to  connect  local  events  with  other  events  elsewhere.    Mr.  Adams  now 
recognizes  that  this  was  an  error,  and  in  his  second  address,  prompted  partly 
thereto  by  Mr.  Nash,  he  shows  that  the  real  significance  of  the  early  years  of 
Weymouth  was  the  contest  between  Episcopacy  and  Puritanism,  with  the  ulti- 
mate triumph  of  the  latter.    His  thrust  at  Longfellow,  and  his  vigorous  pro- 
test against  closing  our  eyes  to  the  evils  of  the  olden  days  and  against  the  undue 
prominence  given  to  wars,  will  meet  with  a  sympathizing  response  from  those 
whose  aim  in  studying  history  is  to  attain  the  truth.  a.  m.

This  report  shows  that  particular  efforts  have  been  made  in  forming  a  careful 
list  of  the  Town  and  Probate  records  throughout  the  State,  and  is  accompa- 
nied by  recommendations  regarding  their  preservation.  A  list  of  the  ancient 
Court  records,  compiled  under  the  supervision  of  the  State  Librarian  and  the 
Secretary  of  State,  Is  also  included  in  the  report.  Besides  these,  the  report 
contains  a  list  of  Probate  Districts,  by  the  Librarian  of  the  Conn.  Hist.  Society. 
The  entire  document  is  a  labor  of  great  importance,  whose  results  will  be  in*

This  paper  was  suggested  by  a  schedule  of  prices  In  Hlngham  in  1779,  and  the 

period  to  which  Mr.  Davis's  article  relates  was  one  of  great  disturbance  caused

mach  time  and  labor  and  presented  to 
the  town  of  Barnstable,  is  one  of  the 
most  complete  in  the  Commonwealth. 

Mr.  Hinckley  was  very  painstaking 
and  accurate.  He  had  copies  made  for 
himself  of  idl  the  early  records  of  the 
town  of  Barnstable,  the  early  volumes 
of  the  County  Probate  Records,  and 
the  early  Church  records,  and  had  the 
same  carefully  compared  and  fully  in- 
dexed. He  also  personally  yisitcd  all 
the  burying  grounds  and  cemeteries  in 
all  the  different  villages  of  the  town,  and 
had  a  complete  record  of  the  names  and 
dates  on  all  the  tombstones  and  monu- 
ments, as  well  as  pictorial  representa- 
tions of  many  of  the  headstones,  en- 
graved by  himself.  He  was  well  known 
and  appreciated  by  pneople  dwelling  in 
nearly  every  State  in  the  Union,  to 
whom  he  gladly  and  freely  gave  of  his 
information  concerning  their  ancestry, 
and  was  always  ready  to  be  interviewed 
by  any  one  interested  in  the  Old  Colony 
and  its  early  settlers.  A  well  known 
genealogist  writes  of  him :  *<  Since  the 
days  of  Amos  Otis  no  man  has  done  so 
much  to  preserve  the  records,  monu- 
ments and  history  of  his  native  town 
as  he  has  done.  But  little  of  his  work 
has  been  published,  but  it  has  all  been 
preserved,  and  will  be  of  great  value  to 
those  interested  in  the  early  history  of 
the  town.  He  wrote  the  history  of 
each  man  who  represented  Barnstable 
in  the  Civil  War ;  he  was  an  authority 
upon  the  history  of  the  early  settlers, 
and  gave  freely  to  all  inquirers  copies 
of  his  notes.  Mr.  Hinckley  was  a  true 
country  gentleman.  He  loved  the  his- 
tory of  Barnstable.  He  once  said,  *  In 
passing  the  old  milestones  I  feel  like 
taking  off  my  hat  in  honor  of  the  first 
settlers  who  placed  them  there.' " 

Mr.  Hinckley  was  never  married.  He 
lived  a  plain  unostentatious  life,  and  by 
reason  of  his  modest  living  and  quiet, 
economical  habits  he  was  enabled  from 
his  moderate  earnings  and  careful  sav- 
ings to  provide  perpetually  for  the 
children  of  others.  His  gifts  or  be- 
quests of  $16,000  to  the  Boston  Univer- 
sity to  assist  deserving  students  not 
wholly  able  to  get  such  education  as 
they  desired ;  $6000  to  the  St.  Luke's 
Hospital  at  New  Bedford  to  provide  a 
free  bed  for  those  of  his  native  town, 
or  county,  who  should  be  unable  to 
provide  for  themselves  such  needed 
medical  treatment;  and  a  bequest  of 
$6000  to  the  State  Board  of  Education 
for  the  benefit  of  those  partially  unable 
to  bear  the  expense  of  a  Normal  School 
training,  evince  his  interest  in'  social 
and  educational  matters,  and  in  the 


welfeure  of  those  yet  to  come  to  inhabit 
that  portion  of  our  Commonwealth  so 
loved  by  Mr.  Hinckley ;  while  his  be- 
quest to  this  Society  of  all  his  "  records 
relating  to  public  or  genealogical  mat- 
ters, whether  bound  or  unlK>und,  in- 
cluding several  volumes  of  memorial 
inscriptions  in  the  cemeteries  and  bury- 
ing grounds  in  the  town  of  Barnstable," 
not  only  shows  his  interest  in  its  wd- 
fare,  but  a  desire  to  furnish,  after  his 
death,  to  those  interested,  the  help  and 
information  he  so  willingly  and  gene- 
rously bestowed  during  his  life. 

Mr.  Hinckley  was  in  religious  be- 
lief and  training  a  Unitarian,  and  his 
bequests  to  the  Orthodox,  Baptist,  and 
Episcopal  Societies  in  Barnstable,  as 
well  as  to  the  Unitarian  Society,  serve 
sufficiently  to  show  that  he  was  broad- 
minded,  earnest  and  sincere,  and  de- 
sirous of  assisting,  as  his  means  would 
allow,  those  who  were  trying  to  better 
themselves  and  to  make  others  better 
and  happier.  F.  H.  L. 

Bamttable,  Mass, 

Chablbs  William  Manwarino,  gene- 
alogist and  member  of  the  Connecticut 
Historical  Society,  passed  away  on 
Saturday,  Aug,  19,  1906,  in  Hartford, 
Conn.,  where  he  had  resided  many  years. 

He  was  bom  in  Waterford,  New 
London  County,  Conn.,  May  9,  1829, 
and  was  a  descendant  of  one  of  the 
oldest  families  in  Connecticut,  the  Man- 
warings  being  among  the  earliest  set- 
tlers of  that  State,  and  their  genealogy 
being  easily  traceable  for  many  genera- 
tions before  the  settlement  of  the  New 
World.  Li  his  young  manhood  he  be- 
came a  builder  and  contractor,  but  his 
love  for  books  and  research  led  him  to 
take  up  a  line  of  work  which  has  re- 
sulted in  his  leaving  behind  him  a 
monument  more  enduring  than  stone, 
and  a  work  which  will  be  more  and 
more  appreciated  as  future  generations 
come  and  go. 

Mr.  Manwaring  was  about  seventy 
years  old  when  he  conceived  the  idea 
of  putting  into  a  concise  and  durable 
form  the  contents  of  the  original  books 
of  probate  records  of  Connecticut,  part 
of  which  were  in  the  State  Capitol  and 
part  in  the  Halls  of  Record  at  Hartford, 
and  all  of  which,  from  excessive  use 
and  the  lapse  of  time,  are  rapidly  ap- 
proaching a  condition  when  access  to 
them  will  be  obtained  with  difficulty. 
Having  conceived  the  idea,  he  immedi- 
ately began  the  work  of  putting  it  into 
a  practical  form,  and  for  the  remaining 
years  of  his  life  labored  incessantly  and 
under  great   physical  disability,  and

Bucceeded  in  bringing  bis  compilation 
down  to  1760,  comprising  tbe  first  fif- 
teen of  tbe  original  books,  and  wbicb 
is  now  being  issued  in  tbree  octavo 
volumes,  two  of  them  having  already 
been  published,  and  the  third  about  to 
be  issued.  To  this  work  he  has  given 
the  title,  **  A  Digest  of  Early  Probate 
Records  of  Connecticut,"  and  while  it 
is  a  work  of  great  value  to  reference 
libraries,  genealogiets,  and  all  who  are 
interested  in  tracing  their  ancestry,  it 
is  also  a  pioneer  work  in  its  line,  point- 
ing the  way  to  what  may  be  done  in 
other  parts  of  the  State  and  in  sister 
States  in  the  way  of  putting  their  an- 
cient and  valuable  records  into  a  form 
that  will  forever  insure  against  their 
loss  or  destruction.  Only  great  pa- 
tience, determination,  courage,  and  an 
abiding  faith  in  the  merits  of  the  work 
could  have  brought  about  its  production, 
especially  at  such  an  advanced  age,  and 
Connecticut  was  fortunate  in  possessing 
among  her  citizens  one  who  was  equip- 
ped with  such  necessary  qualifications, 
and  the  State  has  recognized  his  labors 
by  purchasing  copies  of  the  work  for 
official  use. 

It  is  a  sad  fact  that  on  the  day  fol- 
lowing the  completion  of  his  great  com- 
pilation he  succumbed  to  the  fatal  disease 
which  at  last  took  him  away — a  can- 
cerous a£fection  of  the  throat  —  thus 
showing  with  what  great  courage  and 
suffering  he  must  have  pursued  his 
laborH  on  the  latter  part  of  his  work. 
For  nine  months  he  patiently  bore  his 
affliction,  until  death  released  him,  leav- 
ing a  work  that  will  preserve  his  name 
forever.  Gbo.  E.  Wright.

Philtp  Adsit  Fisher,  minister  and  gene- 
alogist, compiler  of  the  Fisher  Qene- 
alogy,  died  of  tuberculosis,  Feb.  26, 
19U5,  at  Highland,  Cal.,  aged  36  years. 
He  was  bom  at  San  Francisco,  Cal., 
Nov.  11,  1869,  the  younger  of  the  two 
sons  of  Sidney  Augustus  and  Julia 
(Brigham)  Fisher,  was  educated  in  the 
San  Francisco  Boys'  High  School  and 
University  of  California,  and  graduated 
from  the  San  Francisco  Theological 
Seminary  in  1898,  taking  charge  of  the 
Walnut  Creek  Presbyterian  Church, 
Contra  Costa  County,  immediately  after 
graduation. 

On  June  6,  1890,  he  married  Emma 
Florence  Donner,  and  a  daughter,  Angie 
Florence  Fisher,  was  born  to  them,  June 
8,  1891.  In  Sept.,  1902,  Mr.  FUher  be- 
came pastor  of  the  Presbyterian  Church 


of  Mill  City,  Oregon,  where  he  re- 
mained until  his  health  failed,  two  years 
later.  Thinking  that  a  change  of  cli- 
mate might  benefit  him  he  journeyed  to 
Southern  California,  where  he  lived  but 
a  brief  month.  Mr.  Fisher  was  a  man 
of  studious  habits.  He  loved  nature 
and  had  traveled  extensively.  .  He  was 
very  ambitious  in  his  work,  in  spite  of 
the  fact  that  he  was  laboring  under 
great  physical  infirmities  which  would 
have  discouraged  a  less  arduous  man.

Jambs  R.  B.  Hathaway,  for  many  years 
an  antiquarian  of  repute  in  the  history 
and  genealogy  of  North  Carolina,  died 
at  Merry  Hill,  N.  C,  Sept.  22,  1904. 
He  was  the  editor  and  publisher  of  the 
••  North  Carolina  Historical  and  Genea- 
logical Register,"  a  magazine  full  of  his- 
torical material.  The  number  of  the 
magazine  upon  which  he  was  at  work 
was  completed  by  his  pen,  and  this 
will  close  the  issuance  of  a  most  valu- 
able publication.  This  "Register"  is 
a  witness  of  the  wealth  of  material  yet 
to  be  studied  by  the  students  of  North 
Carolina  history  and  family  life.  Mr. 
Hathaway  was  known  as  the  "Old 
Mortality  of  the  Albemarle."  His  home 
was  at  Edington,  of  which  place  he  was 
mayor  for  a  long  series  of  years.

Hbnrt  Lbbbbub  Oak,  an  eminent  au- 
thor and  scholar,  died  at  his  home  at 
Seigler  Spring8,Califomia,  May  20,1906. 
He  was  bom  in  Garland,  Maine,  May 
13,  1846.  He  attended  Bowdoin  Col- 
lege, thence  to  Dartmouth  College, 
where  he  graduated  in  1865.  In  1866 
he  became  librarian  and  chief  assist- 
ant of  Hubart  H.  Bancroft,  who  pub- 
lished a  series  of  volumes  upon  the 
Pacific  Coast.  In  this  capacity  Mr. 
Oak  served  eighteen  years,  when  ill 
health  forced  him  to  retire.  It  is  con- 
ceded that  Mr.  Oak  wrote  the  five  vol- 
umes concerning  "The  Native  Races 
of  the  Pacific  Coast.**  In  semi- retire- 
ment he  became  interested  in  the  gene- 
alogy of  the  Oak,  Oaks,  and  Oakes  fami- 
lies, and  left  a  manuscript  history  of  the 
same,  which,  if  not  published,  will  be

NEW  ENGLAND 

HISTORICAL  AND  GENEALOGICAL 
REGISTER. 


APRIL,  1906. 


BENJAMIN  BARSTOW  TORREY. 

By  William  Caryeb  Bates,  Esq. 

The  subject  of  this  sketch  was  treasurer  of  the  New  England 
Historic  Genealogical  Society  from  1871  to  1904,  when  he  resigned 
on  account  of  failing  health,  serving  the  Society  with  surpassing 
faithfulness  and  accuracy.  When  he  became  treasurer,  the  assets 
of  the  Society  were  about  $10,000,  and  the  yearly  income  no  more 
than  $1,500;  at  the  termination  of  his  service,  the  assets  had  in- 
creased to  above  $200,000,  outside  of  the  invaluable  library,  and 
the  annual  income  was  about  $10,000.  It  is  no  small  matter  to 
have  accounted  for  the  finances  for  such  a  period  without  criticism 
or  error,  and  Mr.  Torrey's  success  in  this  field  of  activity  might 
well  have  satisfied  his  desire  to  serve  others  with  faithfulness,  but 
he  was  for  most  of  this  long  period  the  treasurer  of  the  Boston  and 
Providence  Railroad,  and,  in  the  later  years,  also  of  the  Old  Colo- 
ny Railroad,  which  meant  the  charge  of  one  million  to  two  million 
dollars  annual  income,  for  much  of  the  time.  Mr.  Torrey's  long 
service  as  treasurer  of  the  Society,  and  as  ex  officio  member  of  the 
Council,  endeared  him  to  many  fellow  workers  and  others  who  met 
him  often  in  the  various  activities  of  a  busy  and  long  extended 
period.  An  opportunity  was  given  to  some  of  these  friends  to  ex- 
press briefly  their  appreciatiation  of  Mr.  Torrey's  character,  and 
these  tributes  follow,  somewhat  condensed  to  meet  the  exigency  of 
a  limited  space,  and  will  precede  a  more  detailed  mention  of  the 
genealogy  and  outward  events  in  his  life. 

It  is  with  a  monrnful  pleasure  that  I  recall  my  memories  of  the  late 
treasurer  of  the  Society,  Mr.  Torrey.  My  acquaintance  with  him  dates 
back  through  the  past  quarter  of  a  century,  and  I  met  him  frequently  dur- 
ing that  period,  and  at  one  time  almost  daily,  either  in  the  business  world 
or  at  18  Somerset  Street 

Ilis  genial  disposition  was  always  apparent,  something  unusual  in  this 
world  where  one  is  apt  to  be  depressed  by  upsets  in  business  or  by  ill 
health.  This  genial  nature  was  with  him  to  the  last,  and  at  more  social 
functions  than  the  meetings  of  the  Society,  during  the  past  two  years,

though  he  enjoyed  the  occasions,  I  marked  with  pain  his  increasing  infirm- 
ities. 

His  appreciation  of  the  eccentricities  of  his  fellow-men  was  keen,  and 
there  is  no  class  in  which  these  weaknesses  appear  more  frequently  than  in 
genealogists  and  students  of  history.  His  remarks,  however,  were  never 
inspired  by  malice. 

His  labors  were  always  highly  valued  by  his  fellow  members,  and  when 
dissension  entered  the  ranks  he  continued  his  labors,  looking  only  to  the 
welfare  of  the  Society,  and  his  position  was  appreciated  by  all. 

To  the  late  faithful  librarian,  John  Ward  Dean,  this  country  and  even 
England  is  indebted  for  advancing  the  study  of  New  England  genealogy 
and  history.  The  people  of  the  States  owe  him  still  more  in  the  advan- 
tages derived  from  a  free  access  to  the  store  house  mainly  gathered  through 
his  labor.  In  this  life  work,  he  was  wisely  and  conscientiously  assisted,  in 
its  financial  affairs,  by  Mr.  Torrey,  a  busy  man,  but  one  who  gave  his  time, 
quietly  and  gratuitously,  without  any  desire  for  fame. 

I  can  also  testify  to  his  devotion  to  family  ties,  in  the  care  of  his  invalid 
wife. 

His  lack  of  a  large  estate  at  his  death  was  a  surprise  to  many,  but  it  was 
only  another  proof  of  his  devotion  to  his  kindred  and  his  disinterested 
services  to  the  Society.  Walter  Kendall  Watkins.    • 

Mr.  Torrey  was  a  good  friend  of  mine  for  many  years.  The  acquaint 
ance  began  when  he  with  Mrs.  Torrey  passed  a  winter  in  Milton  in  order 
to  be  near  Mrs.  Sampel  Adams — a  sister  of  Mrs.  Torrey 's— a  neighbor 
and  friend  of  ours.  He  always  impressed  me  as  eminently  faithful  and 
loyal  in  every  relation  of  life.  His  devotion  to  his  invalid  wife  was  very 
beautiful — he  seemed  to  be  a  token  of  strength  to  all  of  his  family  and 
friends — giving  most  liberally  of  his  means  to  those  less  fortunate  than  him- 
self. He  was  sent  for  several  years  as  a  delegate  to  the  Diocesan  Convention 
from  his  parish  Church  of  St.  Andrew  at  Hanover.  It  is  needless  to  say  he 
was  faithful  to  his  duties  and  responsibilities — as  in  every  other  position  of 
trust  where  he  was  placed.  We  all  knew  of  his  long  and  honorable  con- 
nection with  the  Providence  Railroad  as  treasurer — and  of  the  esteem  and 
regard  of  his  fellow  officers  for  him.  His  devotion  and  interest  in  the  So- 
ciety and  lasting  effort  in  its  behalf  extending  over  a  period  of  forty  years 
— we  all  remember  with  gratitude.  His  genial  and  pleasant  greeting  w  ill 
be  long  missed  by  his  many  friends  so  long  identified  with  him  in  the  New 
England  Historic  Genealogical  Society.  His  love  for  the  old  Torrey 
homestead,  so  long  in  the  Torrey  family,  was  very  noticeable,  and  I  shall 
never  forget  a  most  charming  visit  enjoyed  there  during  Mrs.  Torrey's  life- 
time. It  affords  me  much  pleasure  to  add  my  simple  tribute  to  that  of 
others  who  hold  a  more  clever  pen.  Cornelia  Towns  end. 

My  acquaintance  with  the  late  Mr.  Benjamin  Barstow  Torrey,  long  time 
Treasurer  of  the  New  England  Historic  Grenealogical  Society,  was  very 
slight  The  impression  left  on  my  mind  is  that  of  a  courteous  official  with 
whom  it  was  a  pleasure  to  have  dealings,  a  genial,  kindly  gentleman, 
whose  abiding  cheerfulness,  closely  akin  to  "  Jest  and  youthful  Jollity," 
often  finding  expression  in  jocose  remarks,  made  him  ever  a  welcome  pres- 
ence in  the  Society's  rooms.  Mary  H.  Graves. 


1906.]  Benjamin  Barstow  Torrey.  117 

My  relations  with  Mr.  Torrey  were  more  as  a  personal  friend  than  as  an' 
officer  of  the  Society,  as  he  was  a  relative  of  mine  and  we  had  many  inter- 
ests in  common.  As  an  officer  he  was  kindness  and  indulgence  itself,  as  a 
msai  he  was  genial  and  sweet  natured,  with  many  acquaintances  but  few 
intimate  friends — I  think  he  cared  for  very  few  in  that  way.  He  was  a 
good  raconteur,  and  enjoyed  himself  greatly  when  in  contact  with  bright 
minds  and  exchanging  good  stories,  and  he  was  a  devoted  husband  and 
brother.  Susan  C.  Kennedt. 

My  acquaintance  with  Mr.  Torrey  began  before  I  knew  him  in  official 
relations,  in  the  New  England  Historic  Genealogical  Society.  That  he 
was  a  gentleman  in  the  true  sense  of  the  word  cannot  be  doubted,  and  I 
found  him  to  be  so  in  my  early  intercourse  with  him.  Honest,  we  know 
he  was.  Kind  hearted,  no  one  will  dispute.  Although  I  was  not  so  inti- 
mate with  him  as  were  some  others  in  our  Society,  I  knew  him  well  enough 
to  know  that  all  good  qualities  were  his,  and  the  reverse,  never. 

The  Society  does  well  to  honor  his  memory  with  more  than  a  passing 
notice.  Aaron  Sargent. 

Our  associate,  Benjamin  Barstow  Torrey,  was  a  business  man  of  ability, 
occupying  a  position  where  he  had  ample  opportunity  to  exercise  his  char- 
acteristic courtesy  and  patience.  As  treasurer  of  the  Boston  and  Provi* 
denoe  Railroad  Company  for  many  years,  and  later  also  of  the  Old  Colony 
Railroad  Company,  thousands  of  people  knew  him  as  an  agreeable  gentle- 
man who  performed  his  duties,  especially  those  connected  with  the  transfer 
of  shares  of  the  capital  stock,  in  an  exceptionally  considerate  and  obliging 
manner.  Thoroughly  understanding  his  business,  he  never  departed  from 
fundamental  principles,  but  would  waive  petty  technicalities  and  did  all  in 
his  power  to  unravel  the  legal  tangles  that  peculiar  conditions  had  created. 
Apart  from  the  really  difficult  problems  that  came  to  him  for  solution, 
there  were  a  multitude  of  instances  where  helpless  people,  some  of  them 
ignorant,  were  greatly  puzzled  as  to  what  to  do,  and  all  such  found  in  Mr. 
Torrey  a  kind  friend,  who  cordially  gave  much  time  to  assisting  them. 
In  many  such  cases,  presumably,  there  was  but  slight  recognition  of  his 
kindness,  but  a  great  number  did  appreciate  it,  and  he  was  one  of  the  most 
popular  corporation  treasurers  in  Boston.  It  does  not  appear  that  any 
court  ever  questioned  an  act  of  his  or  the  correctness  of  his  conclusions, 
or  that  the  railroads  or  any  individual  ever  lost  a  cent  in  consequence  of 
his  disposition  to  facilitate  the  transfer  of  stock.  By  his  business  asso- 
ciates Mr.  Torrey  was  highly  esteemed,  and  there  was  never  a  higher 
official  that  the  humbler  employees  liked  better  than  they  did  Treasurer 
Torrey.  Absolutely  honest,  he  possessed  abilities  that  his  quiet  unassum- 
ing ways  could  not  conceal,  and  the  record  of  his  life  is  that  of  a  compe- 
tent ofRcial  and  a  kind  and  good  man.  To  me  it  is  a  pleasure  to  pay  even 
this  inadequate  tribute  to  his  memory.  Geo.  Kuhn  Clarke. 

I  am  glad  to  have  an  opportunity  of  expressing  my  admiration  of  the 
character  of  our  late  Treasurer,  Benjamin  Barstow  Torrey,  who  in  his 
quiet  and  unobtrusive  life  had  endeared  himself  to  a  large  number  of  friends 
and  associates. 

My  intimate  acquaintance  with  him  was  formed  in  the  latter  part  of  his 
life,  beginning  when  I  was  elected  one  of  the  Auditing  Committee  of  the 
Society,  and  in  that  capacity  I  had  an  opportunity  of  learning  how  devoted 


118  Benjamin  Barstow  Torrey.  [April, 

he  was  to  the  Society :  how  carefully  he  guarded  its  iDterests,  and  how 
painstaking  he  was  in  carrying  out  his  work  as  its  treasurer.  When  the 
time  came  for  him  to  relinquish  his  duties,  owing  to  steadily  increasing 
physical  infirmities,  it  was  almost  like  the  parting  from  a  beloYed  friend  to 
^ye  up  his  books  and  accounts,  which  he  had  so  long  and  patiently  cared 
for :  like  a  mother  separating  herself  from  a  child  for  whom  to  sacrifice 
herself  had  become  a  part  of  her  life. 

Without  disparaging  by  contrast  the  work  of  his  predecessors,  or  of  his 
successors,  it  can  be  truly  said  that  he  was  a  model  officer,  whose  duties 
never  have  been  nor  ever  will  be  more  creditably  carried  out  than  during 
his  administration. 

When  such  a  friend  is  taken  from  us,  it  creates  a  void  which  cannot 
easily  be  filled.  Chableb  S.  Penhallow. 

I  beg  to  say  that,  strong  as  were  the  words  of  commendation  uttered 
and  the  resolutions  adopted  at  the  close  of  Mr.  Benjamin  Barstow  Torrey's 
long  services  as  Treasurer  of  the  New  England  Historic  Genealogicul  So- 
ciety, it  still  seems  to  me  that  we  nevertheless  scarcely  appreciate  the  im- 
mense value  of  his  quiet,  constant  service.  He  always  had  the  welfare  of 
the  Society  at  heart,  and  no  one  took  more  pride  than  he  in  the  growth  of 
our  funds  from  well  nigh  nothing  at  the  beginning,  to  approximately  three 
hundred  thousand  dollars  at  the  close  of  his  term  of  office  as  treasurer. 

He  did  not,  and  indeed  could  not,  personally  contribute  largely  to  the 
funds  of  the  Society,  but  as  auditor  of  the  treasurer's  accounts  I  have  ob- 
served that  he  always  favored  strictly  safe  investments,  and  that  he  gave 
freely  a  vast  amount  of  valuable  time  in  order  that  the  Society's  books 
might  be  properly  kept. 

The  Society  is  certainly  to  be  congratulated  that,  while  still  in  the  full 
vigor  of  manhood,  he  consented  to  sit  for  the  excellent  portrait  which 
Capt.  A.  A.  Folsom  and  others  of  his  friends  secured  for  the  office  of  the 
Society, — a  fitting  recognition  of  his  long  and  valuable  service. 

HosEA  Starr  Ballou. 

I  saw  in  the  Herald  the  other  day  a  notice  of  the  death  of  Mr.  B.  B. 
Torrey,  and  as  he  had  led  a  good  life,  reached  an  advanced  age,  sustained 
a  good  name,  and  gained  the  love  of  all  his  friends  and  the  respect  of  all 
who  knew  him,  why  should  we  mourn  his  decease  when  his  powers  had 
failed?  Francis  H.  Fuller. 

On  receipt  of  the  tribute  of  recognition  of  Mr.  Torrey  as  treas- 
urer, the  Society  adopted  this  at  the  meeting.  May  4,  1904,  in 
recognition  of  his  services : 

The  members  of  the  New  England  Historic  Genealogical  Society  unani- 
mously place  upon  its  records  their  testimonial  of  regret  that  its  late  treas- 
urer, Benjamin  Barstow  Torrey,  has  felt  compelled  to  relinquish  the 
duties  of  tiiat  responsible  office. 

Elected  a  member  of  this  Society,  May  4th,  1864,  its  assistant  treasurer 
on  January  5th,  1870,  and  its  Treasurer  on  January  4th,  1871 ;  Mr.  Tor- 
rey has  for  forty  years  been  an  highly  esteemed  Counsellor  and,  as  the 
custodian  of  the  Society's  moneys  and  securities  for  thirty  three  years,  a 
trusted  and  valued  official. 

The  Society's  fund,  increasing  from  $9,713.81,  in  1870,  to  the  sum  of 
$313,671.37,  at  the  termination  of  his  trust,  shows  the  painstaking  care 


1906.]  Benjamin  Bar  stow  Torrey.  119 

and  laly>r  he  has  performed ;  a  laborious  service,  that  he  has  cheerfully 
and  freely  rendered  and  made  us  his  debtor. 

For  his  steadfast  and  unswerving  fidelity  to  our  society's  best  interests, 
for  his  splendid  financial  record  and  for  his  uniform  courtesy  and  good 
fellowship,  we  heartily  thank  him,  and  cordially  wish  him  that  tranquil 
rest  and  freedom  from  care  that  a  faithful  service  of  so  many  years  merits. 

The  following  Minutes  and  Resolutions  were  adopted  at  the  stated 
meeting  of  the  Society,  November  1,  1905  : 

The  Society  should  place  upon  its  records  an  acknowledgment  of  its 
deep  indebtedness  and  gratitude  to  the  late  Benjamin  Barstow  Torrey,  a 
life  member  since  1864,  and  for  his  long  continued  and  pecuniarily  unre- 
quited service  to  the  Society  as  Treasurer  from  1871  to  1904,  a  period  of 
thirty-three  years'  continuous  service.  When  he  came  to  the  treasurership 
the  assets  of  the  Society  were  about  $10,000;  when  he  resigned  on  ac- 
count of  failing  health  in  1904,  the  property  of  the  Society  had  increased 
outside  of  the  invaluable  library,  to  over  $200,000.  To  conduct  these 
large  accounts  with  faithful  and  accurate  fidelity  for  more  than  thirty 
years  would  seem  to  be  an  accomplishment  to  gratify  the  ambition  of  an 
ambitious  man,  but  Treasurer  Torrey  modestly  pursued  his  way  apparently 
unaware  of  doing  anything  out  of  the  usual,  and  all  this  time  he  was 
Treasurer  of  the  Boston  and  Providence  Railroad,  whose  earnings  in- 
creased from  $1,066,000  annually  to  $1,905,000  annually,  and  during  the 
last  ten  years  he  was  also  Treasurer  of  the  Old  Colony  Railroad.  In  each 
of  these  positions  Mr.  Torrey  betrayed  not  only  an  expected  fidelity,  but 
his  intercourse  with  associates  and  with  the  public  was  always  urbane  and 
courteous,  often  under  the  irritating  pressure  of  ill  health,  and  his  friends 
testify  to  the  constant  cheer  of  his  presence. 

A  number  of  friends  associated  for  many  yeai-s  in  various  relations  of 
life  with  Mr.  Torrey,  have  sent  to  the  Society  tributes  of  respect  and  af- 
fection ;  these  will  be  preserved  in  the  archives  as  a  memorial  volume 
constituting,  we  believe,  a  memorial  tender  and  true,  endearing  and  digni- 
fied as  well  befits  the  character  of  a  man  so  faithful  and  pure. 

Whereas,  Death  has  removed  from  us  one  who  was  for  many  years  a 
firm  friend,  an  active  member,  and  a  trusted  officer  of  the  Society, 

Therefore,  We,  the  members  of  the  New  England  Historic  Genealogical 
Society,  do  hereby  place  upon  record  our  deep  sense  of  loss  by  the  death 
of  our  associate,  Benjamin  Barstow  Torrey,  and  our  thankful  remembrance 
and  sincere  appreciation  of  his  work  while  with  us. 

Bom  of  sturdy  New  England  stock,  he  inherited  those  qualities  of  mind 
and  heart  which  such  an  ancestry  often  transmits  to  its  descendants.  Be- 
ginning an  active  life  at  an  early  age,  he  remained  a  lifetime  in  the  service 
of  a  great  corporation  and  for  nearly  forty  years  was  its  trusted  and  faith- 
ful treasurer,  serving  it  with  ability  and  discretion,  adding  during  ten  years 
of  that  service  the  duties  of  the  treasurership  of  a  kindred  corporation. 
Elected  treasurer  of  this  Society  in  1871,  succeeding  the  late  William 
Blanchard  Towne,  he  brought  to  its  lesser  duties  those  traits  of  integrity 
and  honesty  of  purpose  which  characterized  his  life  in  broader  fields ;  and 
for  thirty-three  years,  a  longer  service  than  has  been  borne  by  any  other 
treasurer  of  the  Society,  he  was  an  efficient  adviser  and  conservator  in 
financial  matters.  As  a  member  of  the  Council,  his  genial  temper,  good- 
fellowship,  and  sound  judgment  gave  him  the  respect  and  friendship  of  his 
associates. 


120  Benjamin  Bar$tow  Torrey.  [April, 

Benjamin  Barstow  Torrey  of  Boston  was  a  native  of  Pembroke, 
Plymouth  County,  Mass.,  bom  November  22,  1837,  son  of  Capt. 
Haviland  and  Salome  (Barstow)  Torrey,  a  lineal  descendant  of 
Captain  William  Torrey  of  Weymouth  (lt)40),  and  numbered 
among  his  emigrant  ancestors  several  other  early  settlers  of  the 
Massachusetts  Bay  and  Plymouth  Colonies.  The  Torrey  line  is 
William,*  William,*  Haviland,*  William,^  William,*  Haviland,* 
Benjamin  Barstow'.  Capt.  Haviland*  Torrey  was  bom  at  Pem- 
broke, October  29,  1791,  and  died  August  26,  1865.  His  wife 
Salome,  born  at  Hanover,  July  24,  1801,  died  May  3,  1878,  was 
a  daughter  of  John  Burden  and  Betsey  (Eells)  Barstow,  of  Hano- 
ver. Her  father,  John  Burden*  Barstow,  was  bora  in  1764,  and 
was  a  descendant,  in  the  fifth  generation,  of  William'  Barstow  who 
came  to  New  England  in  1635,  was  at  Dedham  in  1636,  a  freeman 
at  Scituate  in  1649,  and  the  first  recorded  settler  in  the  locality  now 
called  Hanover,  Mass.  The  line  of  descent  was  through  his  son 
William,*  Jr.,  born  at  Scituate  in  1652;  Benjamin,*  bom  in  1690, 
whose  second  wife  was  Sarah  Burden ;  Thomas,^  who  married  Sa- 
rah, daughter  of  John  Studley ;  to  John  Burden*  Barstow,  above 
named,  who  was  a  ship  builder,  and  who  held  the  rank  of  Colonel 
in  the  State  Militia.  His  homestead  at  Hanover  was  known  as 
"Broad  Oak  Farm."  Col.  John  B.  Barstow  died  in  Hanover  at 
the  advanced  age  of  ninety  years,  having  survived  his  wife  Betsey 
(Eells)  Barstow,  who  died  in  1852,  in  her  ninety-first  year. 

Capt.  Haviland  Torrey  and  his  wife  Salome  had  five  children, 
two  of  whom,  Benjamin  Barstow  and  Herbert,  reached  maturity. 
Herbert  died  suddenly,  at  the  South  Terminal  Station,  Boston,  on 
July  24,  1901. 

Benjamin  Barstow  Torrey  was  educated  at  the  Hanover  Acade- 
my, 1851-1855,  and  at  the  University  Grammar  School  at  Provi- 
dence, R.  I.,  which  he  attended  about  one  year.  He  taught  in  one 
of  the  district  schools  of  Milton,  a  few  terms,  making  his  home 
with  the  Misses  Bent,  of  one  of  the  old  families  there.  In  1875 
he  married  Miss  Abbie  Bent,  who  died  Sept.  9,  1897.  He  died 
Sept.  11,  1905. 

Mr.  Torrey  entered  the  service  of  the  Boston  and  Providence 
Railroact  in  1858,  in  the  freight  department  as  receiving  clerk ;  in 
1860  he  was  transferred  to  the  General  Passenger  OflSce;  was 
made  Treasurer's  Clerk  in  1861 ;  and  became  Treasurer  in  1867. 
He  retired  from  this  latter  position  in  1904,  receiving  a  moderate 
pension.  In  1893  he  became  Treasurer  of  the  Old  Colony  Rail- 
road, and  resigned  his  three  treasurerships  in  1904,  on  account  of 
failing  health.  Mr.  Torrey  had  been  Treasurer  of  the  New  Eng- 
land Historic  Genealogical  Society  since  1871,  and  a  life  member 
since  1864.  He  was  a  member  of  the  Society  of  Colonial  Wars, 
since  1900.

Inheriting  his  grandfather's  estate,  **  Broad  Oak,"  he  occupied  it 
a  number  of  years  as  a  summer  residence,  and  was  a  communicant 
of  St.  Andrew's  (Episcopal)  Church  and  a  frequent  delegate  from 
Hanover  Parish  to  Diocesan  Conventions. 

It  is  not  usual  for  the  biographer  to  enter  the  cloister  walls  of 
home  to  scan  the  family  influences  which  sweeten  and  sanctify  the 
family  life,  and  in  the  case  of  Mr.  Torrey  these  were  so  uniform 
and  pure  it  is  a  pleasure  to  recall  the  romance  of  the  beginning, 
when  the  young  school  teacher  turned  to  the  mature  matron  as  his 
ideal  of  a  life  long  companion,  she  with  maturer  judgment  gently 
chiding  his  enthusiasm,  and  only  acceding  after  many  months'  ob- 
servation assured  her  his  was  no  fleeting  whim.  The  many  suc- 
ceeding years  of  happy  married  life  were  to  all  observers  an  example 
that  happiness  is  an  inward  state  of  peace,  independent  of  all  arbi- 
trary conditions.  Age  and  failing  powers  caused  no  subsidence 
from  the  high  tide  of  reverent  affection  upon  which  the  youthful 
suitor  embarked. 

Mr.  Torrey  would  not  have  taken  a  degree  in  the  modem  school 
of  High  Finance ;  it  was  enough  for  him  to  administer  faithfully  the 
trusts  committed  to  his  care.  The  modem  trust,  frequently  very 
temporary  so  far  as  the  public  is  concerned,  did  not  accord  with  his 
instincts.  He  did  not,  perhaps,  originate  schemes  of  investment 
for  the  funds  in  his  charge,  but  at  each  scrutiny  of  the  auditors  the 
interest  was  all  there,  and  the  trustees  or  directors  passed  no  sleep- 
less nights  on  his  account,  the  widow  or  orphan  awoke  to  no  hope- 
less days  from  his  lapses  from  honor.  We  cannot  doubt  he  will 
elsewhere  receive  the  highest  award  —  "  Tliou  hast  been  faithful, 
enter  thou  into  the  joy  of  thy  Lord." 


INSCRIPTIONS  FROM  THE  LONG  SOCIETY  BURYING 
GROUND,  PRESTON,  CONN. 

Communicated  by  Georob  S.  Portbr,  Esq.,  of  Norwich,  Conn. 

Long  Society  (Cougregational)  derived  its  name  from  its  loca- 
tion on  the  long,  narrow  strip  of  land  east  of  the  Thames  and  She- 
tucket  rivers  which  formed  the  eastern  boundary  of  the  original 
town  of  Norwich  (then  nine  miles  square),  and  extended  from  the 
present  village  of  Poquetanuck  to  that  of  Plainfield.  The  church 
was  organized  in  1726,  under  the  pastoral  care  of  the  Rev.  Jabez 
Wight.  The  first  meeting-house  of  the  society  stood  where  to-day 
stands  its  successor,  about  three  miles  from  the  centre  of  the  city 
of  Norwich.  The  church  yard,  from  which  many  of  the  older 
gravestones  have  disappeared,  lies  immediately  in  the  rear  and  on

THE  BELCHER  FAMILIES  IN  NEW  ENGLAND. 

By  Joseph  Gardner  Bartlett,  Esq. 

The  name  Belcher  is  of  great  antiquity  in  England,  being  found  as 
e;^rly  as  1176,  when  Ralph  Belcher  was  witness  to  a  deed.  (Historical 
Collections  of  Staffordshire,  Vol.  1,  page  291.)  The  name  is  uncommon, 
however,  and  is  found  mostly  in  the  county  of  Warwick  and  the  surround- 
ing counties  of  Stafford,  Worcester,  Oxford,  Wilts,  and  Northampton.  One 
line  of  the  family  was  seated  at  Guilsborough  in  Northamptonshire  for 
several  generations,  and  was  lineally  descended  from  Hugh  Belcher  of 
Needwood,  co.  Stafford,  who  was  living  in  the  reign  of  Edward  IV.,  about 
1470.  This  branch  of  the  family  held  landed  estates,  and  bore  for  arms 
*•'  Paly  of  six  or  and  gules,  a  chief  vair''\  and  their  pedigree  was  entered  in 
the  Visitation  of  Northamptonshire  in  1619,  and  also  in  the  Visitation  of 
Warwickshire  of  the  same  year.  The  will  of  Gregory  Belcher,  yeoman, 
of  Berkeswell,  co.  Warwick,  dated  Mar.  20,  1620,  mentions  wife  Joane ; 
son  Thomas  Belcher ;  sons-in-law  John  Bonney  and  William  Cook ;  daugh-

ten  Elizabeth  Cook,  Isabel  Bonney,  and  Alice  Pemberton.  (Putnam's  His- 
torical Magazine,  vol.  4,  page  183.)  It  seems  likely  that  Thomas  Belcher, 
son  of  Gregory  of  this  will,  was  the  Thomas  Belcher  who  lived  in  the 
hamlet  of  Wardend,  parish  of  Aston,  co.  Warwick,  where  he  had  three 
children  recorded:  John,  bapt.  Aug.  24,  1604;  Gregory,  bapt.  Mar.  30, 
1606;  and  Margery,  bapt  July  9,  1615.  Aston  is  about  nine  miles 
north-west  of  Berkeswell.  As  Gregory*  Belcher,  one  of  the  emigrants  to 
New  England,  in  a  deposition  made  in  June,  1665,  stated  he  was  then  about 
sixty  years  of  age,  it  seems  probable  that  he  was  identical  with  the  Greg- 
ory Belcher,  son  of  Thomas,  who  was  bom  in  Aston  in  1606,  who  would 
be  in  his  sixtieth  year  at  the  time  of  the  deposition,  and  of  whom  no  further 
mention  appears  in  the  Aston  registers,  although  his  brother  and  sister 
were  married  there.  How  these  Belchers  of  Berkeswell  and  Aston  were 
related  to  the  armorial  Belchers  of  Guilsborough  has  not  been  ascertained ; 
but  doubtless  they  were  of  the  same  original  stock. 

There  were  five  persons  named  Belcher  who  settled  in  New  England 
before  1650,  and  from  two  of  them  are  descended  practically  all  of  the 
name  in  the  United  States.  These  five  emigrants,  in  the  order  of  their 
arrival  in  New  England,  were: 

I.  Mr.  Edward*  Belcher,  born  about  1595,  came  to  New  England 
in  1630  with  Governor  Winthrop,  and  was  one  of  the  founders  of  Boston. 
He  was  the  fourth  son  of  William  Belcher  of  Guilsborough,  Northamp- 
tonshire, England,  and  of  positive  armorial  descent,  but  his  male  descendants 
became  extinct  with  his  grandson. 

II.  Jeremy,*  or  Jeremiah,  Belcher,  born  about  1613,  came  to 
New  England  in  the  spring  of  1635  and  settled  in  Ipswich,  where  he  died 
In  March,  1692-3.  He  had  eleven  children,  and  his  descendants  are  very 
numerous.  Nothing  is  known  of  his  ancestry,  but  he  was  probably  in  some 
degree  related  to  the  other  emigrants  of  the  name. 

III.  Gregory*  Belcher,  born  about  1606,  came  to  New  England 
about  1637  and  settled  in  Braintree,  where  he  died  Nov.  25,  1674.  He 
had  seven  children,  and  many  descendants  live  in  the  United  States.  He 
was  perhaps  the  Gregory  Belcher,  son  of  Thomas,  who  was  baptized  in 
Aston,  CO.  Warwick,  England,  Mar.  30,  1G06,  as  suggested  above. 

IV.  Andrew*  Belcher,  born  about  1615,  son  of  Thomas  Belcher  of 
Loudon,  and  grandson  of  Robert  Belcher,  w^eaver,  of  Kingswood,  Wiltshire, 
England.  He  first  appears  in  New  England  in  1 639,  and  settled  in  Cam- 
bridge. Although  there  was  but  one  male  who  married  in  each  generation 
of  his  descendants,  this  family  attained  great  distinction.  His  son  Andrew' 
Belcher  was  a  Royal  Councillor,  and  the  greatest  merchant  of  his  day  in 
New  England;  his  grandson  Jonathan'  Belcher  was  Royal  Governor  of 
Massachusetts  and  also  of  New  Jersey ;  his  great-grandson  Jonathan* 
Belcher  was  Chief  Justice  and  Lieut.  Governor  of  Nova  Scotia ;  and  his 
great-great-grandson  Andrew*  Belcher  was  a  Royal  Councillor  of  Nova 
Scotia,  whose  children  settled  in  England,  of  whom  a  son,  Sir  Edward* 
Belcher,  K.C.B.,  was  a  distinguished  naval  officer,  attaining  the  rank  of 
Rear  Admiral  in  the  British  navy.  A  few  descendants  remain  in  England, 
but  the  name  is  extinct  in  the  United  States. 

The  descendants  of  Andrew*  Belcher  have  always  used  the  arms  of 
the  Belchers  of  Guilsborough,  although  their  descent  from  that  branch  has 
not  to  the  writer's  knowledge  been  proven.     For  a  full  account  of  the  de-

Y.  Thokas^  Belcher,  stated  to  have  been  in  the  famHj  of  Nicholas^ 
Frost  of  Kitteiy,  as  early  as  1640,  and  to  have  died  in  1652.  {"*  Old  Eliot, 
Me,"  vol.  1,  pages  87  and  176.)  The  writer  has  no  farther  bowledge  of 
this  individiial,  who  probably  died  unmarried.  It  is  a  carious  coincidence 
that,  about  1693,  John'  Belcher*  of  Boston  (Josiah*,  Gr^ory^)  deserted 
his  family  there  and  went  to  Kittery,  where  he  entered  the  service  of 
Charles^  Frost,  son  of  Nicholas,^  and  remained  in  his  employ  and  in  that 
of  his  son  and  grandson  for  nearly  forty  years,  until  his  death  in  1730, 
learing  his  property  to  his  last  employer,  Charles^  Frost. 


EDWARD  BELCHER  OF  BOSTON. 

1.  Mr.  Edward  Belcher,  gent,  fourth  son  of  William  and  Christian 
(Dabridgecourt)  Belcher  of  Guflsborough,  Northamptonshire,  England,  was 
born  about  1595,  and  came  to  New  England  in  the  fleet  with  Gov.  Win- 
throp  in  1630,  and  became  one  of  the  founders  of  Boston.  His  pedigree 
is  recorded  in  the  Ylsitations  of  Warwickshire  and  NorthamptoDshire  in 
1619.  Although  a  member  of  an  armorial  family  of  the  landed  gentry  of 
Cngland,  Edward*  Belcher  took  a  very  inconspicuous  part  in  the  settle- 
ment of  Boston,  his  descendants  soon  were  reduced  to  very  humble  circum- 
stances, and  the  family  became  extinct  in  the  male  line  with  the  death  of 
his  grandsons.  He  was  an  original  member  of  the  First  Church  in  Boston, 
and  carried  on  the  business  of  a  pipestave  culler.  His  houselot  was  located 
on  the  north  side  of  the  present  Boylston  street,  between  Washington  and 
Tromont  streets,  and  he  also  had  a  garden  on  the  opposite  side  of  Boyl- 
ston street.  In  his  will  he  calls  himsdf  "  Edward  Belcher,  gent.,  of  Bos- 
ton, late  of  Guilsboroagh,  Northamptonshire,  England."  As  the  witnesses 
to  the  will  were  doubtful  whether  or  not  he  was  of  sound  mind,  the  will 
was  not  allowed,  and  his  son  was  appointed  administrator  of  his  estate,  on 
Mar.  17,  1672-3.  (Suffolk  Co.  Probate.)  The  name  of  his  first  wife, 
whom  he  married  in  England,  has  not  been  discovered.  He  married  sec- 
ond, in  Boston,  about  1650,  Christian,  sister  of  William  Talraage  and 
widow  of  William  Woman,  Wormwood,  or  Wornal.  She  was  admitted  to 
the  First  Church  on  Apr.  4, 1646,  being  then  v^-ife  of  Wormwood,  by  whom 
she  had  two  daughters :  Mary,  born  about  1635,  who  married  her  step- 
brother Edward^  Belcher,  Jr. ;  and  Anne,  born  about  1638,  who  married, 
in  1658,  Samuel  Flack  of  Boston.     (Suffolk  Co.  Deeds,  vol.  21,  page  647.)

2.  Edward*  Belcher  {Edward}),  bom  in  England,  al)out  1627,  came 
in  childhood  to  Boston,  where  he  became  a  shipwright.  On  Apr. 
30,  1670,  he  and  his  wife  were  deeded,  by  his  father,  Edward* 
Belcher,  one-half  of  the  latter*s  real  estate.  (Suffolk  Co.  Deeds, 
vol.  7,  page  199.)  In  1693,  Edward*  Belcher  conveyed  this  estate 
to  his  sons-in-law  Mark  Pilkington  and  Edward  Kettow,  although 
these  deeds  were  not  recorded  until  Mar.  12,  1713,  about  which 

•  The  8Uffg;e8tion  in  "Old  Eliot,"  vol.  1,  pa^e  87,  that  this  John  Belcher  waa 
flrandHon  of  Thomas*  above  mentioned,  is  certainly  erroneous.  Perhaps  Thomns* 
Belcher  of  Kittery  was  a  brother  of  Gregory*  of  Braintree,  and  so  grand-uncle  of 
John*  of  Kittery.

time  it  is  presumed  Edward'  Belcher  died.  (Suffolk  Co.  Deeds, 
vol.  16,  page  176,  and  vol.  28,  page  24.) 

He  married  first,  Jan.  8,  1655-6,  his  step-sister  Mary,'  bom 
about  1635,  daughter  of  William  and  Christian  (Talmage)  Worm- 
wood of  Boston,  who  died  Mar.  21,  1693;  and  married  second, 
June  24,  1708,  when  about  eighty  years  of  age,  Abigail,  daughter 
of  Roger  and  Ruth  (Stackhouse)  Haskins  of  Beverly,  and  widow 
of  John  Swarton.  She  married  third,  Nathaniel  Clark  of  Beverly, 
and  died  about  1730,  having  had  no  children  by  any  of  her  hus- 
bands. 

Children  by  first  wife :

July  31,  1670;  took  the  oath  of  allegiance,  Apr.  21,  1679;  no  fur- 
ther record,  and  probably  d.  unmarried.

daughters:  Mary,  b.  July  27,  1692,  m.  Nov.  23,  1709.  Richard

Abigail,  b.  Feb.  12,  1700-1,  d.  young.  The  only  descendants  that 
now  exist  of  Edward^  Belcher  of  Boston  derive  their  descent 
through  the  daughters  of  Mark  and  Faith  (Belcher)  Pilkington.

GREGORY  BELCHER  OF  BRAINTREE. 

1.  Gregory^  Belcher,  born  about  1606,  was  in  New  England  as 
early  as  1637,  and  on  Dec.  30,  1639,  was  granted  a  lot  of  52  acres  at 
Mount  Wollaston  (Braintree),  for  thirteen  heads,  paying  three  shillings 
per  acre  for  the  same.  (Boston  Town  Records.)  Here  he  settled,  was 
admitted  freeman  on  May  13,  1640,  and  was  made  selectman  in  1646. 
He  deposed  in  June,  1665,  aged  about  60  years.  (Essex  Co.  Court  Files.) 
By  occupation  he  was  a  farmer.  On  July  14,  1664,  he  purchased  of  John 
Smith  9  acres  of  land  in  Milton,  which  he  gave  to  his  son  Joseph  Bel- 
cher for  a  marriage  portion.  (Suffolk  Co.  Deeds,  vol.  4,  page  204a.) 
On  Jan.  6,  1657-8,  he  obtained  a  lease  of  the  Salter  farm  in  Braintree, 
from  the  estate  of  William  Tyng  of  Boston ;  and  on  Jan.  15,  1666-7, 
Gregory  Belcher  and  others  bought  the  Salter  farm  for  £1900,  Belcher's 
interest  being  one-eighth.  (Suffolk  Co.  Deeds,  vol.  5,  page  229.)  On 
Mar.  26,  1670,  Gregory  Belcher  and  his  son-in-law  Alexander  Marsh 
purchased  the  iron  works,  with  200  acres  of  land,  in  Braintree ;  and  on 
May  18,  1671,  the  same  parties  bought  40  acres  in  Braintree  plain  of 
Henry  Crane.     (Suffolk  Co.  Deeds,  vol.  7,  page  172.) 

He  died  Nov.  25,  1674.  The  inventory  of  his  estate,  showing  a  total  of 
£629-5-0,  was  presented  by  his  widow,  Jan.  29, 1674-5.  (Suffolk  Co.  Pro- 
bate.) His  wife  Catherine  survived  him,  and  died  in  the  spring  of  1680. 
Her  will,  dated  Sept.  3,  1679,  proved  July  20,  1680,  gives  to  son  Josiah  a 
cow  *^  if  he  molest  not  my  son  Moses  in  his  present  dwelling  and  posses- 
sions " ;  to  son  John  a  cow  and  a  horse ;  to  daughters  Elizabeth  Gilbert 
and  Mary  Marsh,  and  granddaughter  Mary  Marsh,  some  household  effects ; 
'*  to  son  Moses  (who  hath  all  his  life  carried  himself  so  dutifully  to  myself

and  his  father)  the  great  bible  and  the  whole  house  and  land  he  now  pos- 
sesses which  I  declare  his  father  gave  him."  Sons  Moses  Belcher  and 
Alexander  Marsh  executors. 

On  July  9,  1680,  Josiah  Belcher  of  Boston  entered  a  caveat  against  the 
probate  of  any  will  said  to  be  made  by  his  late  mother,  Catherine  Belcher 
of  Braintree,  widow,  deceased,  until  he  be  present.  (Suffolk  Co.  Probate.) 
It  does  not  appear,  however,  that  any  contest  was  made  over  the  estate. 

Children: 

i.  Elizabeth,'  m.  Thomas  Gilbert,  who  was  in  Braintree  in  1646. 
(Mass.  Colonial  Records,  vol.  iii,  page  67.)  Evidently  he  was  the 
**goodman  Gilbert"  mentioned  in  Suffolk  Co.  Deeds,  vol.  5,  page 
527,  who  owned  land  in  Braintree  in  1668,  adjoining  land  of 
Thomas  Gatlive,  whose  widow.  Prudence,  was  a  witness  to  tlie 
will  of  widow  Catherine*  Belcher.

5.  V.      Samuel,  b.  Aug.  24,  1637. 

vi.  Mary,  b.  July  8,  1639;  m.  Dec.  19,  1655,  Alexander  Marsh  of 
Braintree. 

6.  vli.  Joseph,  b.  Dec.  26,  1641. 

2.  Josiah''^  Belcher  (Gregory^),  born  in  1631,  was  a  wheelwright, 
and  settled  in  Boston,  where  he  acquired  an  estate  on  the  south- 
«  easterly  comer  of  what  is  now  Essex  street  and  Harrison  avenue, 
measuring  126  feet  on  Essex  street,  and  running  back  285  feet  to 
the  water.  After  the  death  of  his  widow,  a  partition  was  made  of 
this  estate  among  his  surviving  children,  on  Sept.  20,  1693,  which 
is  described  and  recorded  in  Suffolk  Co.  Deeds,  vol.  19,  page  158. 
Further  deeds  in  relation  to  this  property  show  that  all  his  sons, 
except  John  and  Benjamin,  died  without  issue,  and  apparently  un- 
married, and  that  the  daughter  Dorothy  died  without  issue  soon 
after  her  marriage.  (Suffolk  Co.  Deeds,  vol.  40,  page  225  ;  vol.  41, 
page  210;  vol.  46,  page  90;  and  vol.  41,  page  212.) 

He  was  one  of  the  founders  of  the  third,  or  Old  South,  Church, 
and  died  Apr.  3,  1683,  aged  52,  being  buried  in  the  Granary  bury- 
ing ground,  where  his  gravestone  still  remains.  His  will,  made 
the  day  of  his  decease,  names  wife  Ranis,  sons  John,  Jonathan, 
Joseph,  Edward,  Nathan  and  Benjamin,  and  daughters  Elizabeth, 
Rebecca,  Anna,  Dorothy,  Abigail,  and  Ruth.  (Suffolk  Co.  Pro- 
bate.) He  married.  Mar.  3,  1654-5,  Ranis,*  born  June  4,  1638, 
daughter  of  Elder  Edward^  and  Elizabeth  Rainsford  of  Boston. 
She  died  Oct,  2,  1691. 
Children : 

i.  Josiah,'  b.  Dec.  23,  1655 ;  served  in  Capt.  James  Oliver's  Co.  in 
the  Narraganset  campaign  in  King  Philip's  War,  and  took  part  in 
the  Great  Swamp  Fight,  Dec.  19,  1675.  He  died  unmarried,  and 
was  evidently  the  Josiah  Belcher  who  was  drowned  at  Weymouth 
in  the  aatumn  of  1682,  as  mentioned  in  Judge  Sewall's  diary 
(vol.  2,  page  19*).

1693.  (Sufiblk  Co.  Deeds,  vol.  16,  page  220,  and  vol.  40,  page

in  1698,  leaving  a  very  small  estate,  his  son  Josiah*  Belcher  being 
appointed  administrator,  Nov.  16,  1693.  The  inventory  of  the  es-

and  resided  in  Braintree,  inheriting  his  father's  homestead.  He  is 
called  "  Corporal "  Belcher  on  the  records.  He  died  July  5,  1691, 
and  in  his  will,  dated  three  days  before,  he  mentions  his  wife; 
daughter  Mary  Bass ;  other  daughters  to  have  portions  equal  to  that 
given  to  Mary ;  son  Moses  (then  under  age)  to  have  the  whole 
homestead ;  brotlier  Alexander  Marsh  and  cousin  Joseph  Belcher

5.  Samuel'  Belcher  {Gregory^),  born   Aug.  24,  1637,  resided  in 

Braintree,  where  he  died  June  17,  1679.  On  May  6,  1680,  ad- 
ministration on  his  estate  was  granted  *^  to  Roger  Billing,  Alexander 
March,  and  Moses  Belcher > his  father-in-law  and  two  of  his  brothers." 
'■  (Suffolk  Co.  Probate.)  The  inventory  was  £576-17-6.  On  Mar. 
4,  1696,  Thomas  French  and  Elizabeth  his  wife  conveyed  to  their 
brother  Gregory  Belcher  their  interest  in  the  estate  of  their  father 
Samuel  Belcher.  (Suffolk  Co.  Deeds,  vol.  41,  page  249.)  On  the 
same  day,  John  Sanders  of  Westerly  and  Silence  his  wife  conveyed 
their  interest  in  the  estate  of  their  father  Samuel  Belcher.  (Suffolk 
Co.  Deeds,  voL  41,  page  250.)  On  Sept.  21,  1693,  Moses  Belcher 
of  Dorchester  conveyed  his  interest  in  the  estate  of  his  father, 
Samuel  Belcher,  to  his  brother  Gregory  (Suffolk  Co.  Deeds,  vol.  41, 
page  252).  On  Aug.  8, 1727,  William  Wattle  and  Abigail  his  wife, 
of  Lebanon,  Conn.,  conveyed  to  their  brother  Samuel  Belcher  their 
interest  in  the  estate  of  their  late  mother  Niles,  deceased,  in  the 
estate  of  her  former  husband  Samuel  Belcher.  (Suffolk  Co.  Deeds, 
vol.  41,  page  253.)  Samuel^  Belcher  married,  Dec.  15,  1663,  Mary, 
daughter  of  Roger  Billings  of  Dorchester,  Mass.  She  married  sec- 
ond, Apr.  20,  1680,  Samuel  Niles  of  Braintree.

was  given  by  his  father  9  acres  of  land  in  Milton,  where  he  set- 
tled (Suffolk  Co.  Deeds,  vol.  iv.,  page  204).  His  wife  Rebecca 
was  sole  heiress  to  large  tracts  of  land  in  Dorchester  and  Milton, 
from  the  estate  of  her  father ;  but  evidently  incompatibility  made 
their  domestic  life  unhappy,  causing  a  temporary  separation  and  a

Bummons  before  the  Greneral  Court  By  the  efforts  of  friends,  how- 
ever, a  recoDciliation  was  effected.  (Dedham  Historical  Register,

Joseph  Belcher  served  as  quartermaster  in  the  cavalry  troop  of  Capt. 
Thomas  Prentice  in  the  first  expedition  against  Eong  Philip  at  Mt. 
Hope,  and  in  a  skirmish  with  the  Indians  at  Swansej,  on  June  28, 
1675,  he  distinguished  himself  by  great  bravery,  being  badly 
wounded  in  the  knee,  and  having  his  horse  shot  under  him.  He 
died  about  1678,  the  inventory  of  his  estate,  amounting  to  £472-4-9, 
being  presented  on  Feb.  7,  1678-9.  (Suffolk  Co.  Probate,  vol.  12,

power  of  attorney  to  liis  wife  to  dispose  of  his  property,  and  on 
Sept.  3,  1703,  she  mortgaged  his  property  in  Boston.  *  (Suffolk 
Co.  Deeds,  vol.  21,  page  376.}  On  Feb.  6,  1705-6,  Samuel  Sew- 
all  sent  a  letter  to  Rev.  Joseph  Lord  in  Dorchester,  South  Caro- 
lina, by  Capt.  Gill  Belcher.  (6  Mass.  Hist.  Society  Coll.,  vol. 
1,  page  324.)  No  further  trace  of  GUI  Belcher  has  been  found  in 
New  England ;  and  he  may  have  settled  in  South  Carolina  or  been 
lost  at  sea.  One  Mary  Belcher,  possibly  his  widow,  m.  in  Bos- 
ton, June  7,  1716,  John  Flagg.  In  1766,  a  Gill  Belcher  of  Hebron, 
Conn.,  perhaps  a  grandson  of  Capt.  Gill,'  bought  land  in  Great 
Barrington,  Mass. 

7.  John*  Belcher  (Josiah,^  Gregory^),  bom  in  Boston,  Dec.  23, 1659, 
was  baptized  in  the  First  Church,  April  3,  1664,  and  admitted  to 
the  Old  South  Church,  Apr.  30,  1680.  By  occupation  he  was  a 
ship  carpenter.  In  1690  he  was  in  the  military  service  and  sta- 
tioned at  Eittery,  Me.,  and  was  dismissed  and  sent  home  on  Nov. 
9  of  that  year.  (Me.  Hist  Coll.  Series  2,  vol.  5,  page  160.)  He 
resided  in  Boston  until  about  1693,  when  he  went  to  Kittery,  Me., 
and  entered  the  employ  of  the  Frost  family,  who  were  extensive 
shipbuilders,  where  he  continued  until  his  death  in  1730.  His 
will,  dated  Feb.  17, 1729-30,  calls  himself  "  John  Belcher,  joiner,  of 
Kittery,  eldest  son  of  Josiah  Belcher  of  Boston,"  and  states  he  has 
lived  with  the  Frosts  for  near  about  forty  years  and  none  of  his 
relatives  have  assisted  him,  and  therefore  he  leaves  all  his  property 
to  Charles  Frost.  (York  Wills,  vol.  4,  page  130;  also  Suffolk 
Co.  Deeds,  vol.  46,  page  90.)  Presumably  it  was  this  John'  Belcher 
who  married  Theodora ,  in  1688,  and  had  two  children  bap- 
tized in  the  Old  South  Church  in  Boston.  He  evidently  deserted 
his  family  when  he  went  to  Maine  in  1 693,  as  his  wife  Theodora 
remained  in  Boston  and  married  second,  Dec.  9,  1698,  Simon  Lee, 
married  third,  Nov.  20, 1700,  William  Damton,  and  married  fourth, 
Sept.  13,  1709,  Francis  Pomeroy.

8.  Benjamin*  Belcher  {Jasiah,^  Chegart/^),  bom  in  Boston,  Mar.  20, 

1680-1,  was  a  shipwright,  and  about  1703  settled  in  Newport,  R.  I. 
(Suffolk  Co.  Deeds,  vol.  41,  page  210.)  He  was  admitted  freeman 
of  R.  I.,  May  6,  1707,  and  died  about  1719.  The  information 
herein  given  of  his  descendants  needs  further  verification.  He  mar- 
ried first,  Phebe ,  who  died  after  1711 ;   and  married  second, 

about  1715,  Sarah,  bom  Aug.  13,  1690,  daughter  of-Amold  and 
Sarah  Collins  of  Newport.     She  married  second,  about  1720,  Josiah

Arnold,  b.  about  1715. 

Sarah  (perhaps),  bapt.  May  17,  1717. 

9.  Joseph*  Belcher  (John,*  Gregory^)  was  bora  Feb.  23,  1660-1, 

and  after  his  birth  record,  appears  no  further  in  any  town,  church, 
deed,  or  probate  record  that  has  been  found  by  the  writer.  Never-' 
theless,  it  appears  he  had  a  family,  as  in  the  diary  of  John  Marshall 
of  Braintree  is  the  following  entry :  "  Joseph  Belcher's  child  died 
Mar.  8,  1700-1."  On  Mar.  20,  1726,  Joseph  Belcher  and  hU  son, 
from  Braintree,  were  warned  from  Boston.  (Boston  Record  Com. 
Report,  No.  13,  page  154.) 

It  seems  likely  that  he  was  father  of  the  following  Belchers  who 
cannot  otherwise  be  placed : 

i.  Mercy,  m.  in  Boston,  Nov.  11,  1709,  Benjamin  Johns, 
ii.  Hannah,  ra.  in  Boston,  May  26,  1713,  Antiiony  Ennls. 
ii.      Elizabkth,  m.  in  Boston,  Jan.  4,  1716-16.  Alexander  Fullerton. 

Possibly,  liowever,  slie  was  dau.  of  Josiali'  Belcher. 
Iv.     Mart  Belcher,  m.  in  Boston,  June  7,  1716,  John  Flagg  (then  in 

middle  life) ,  as  his  second  wife.    But  possibly  she  was  the  widow 

of  Gill'  Belcher  as  previously  suggested. 
y.     A  SON,  perhaps  the  Joseph  Belcher,  seaman,  on  ship  **  King  George  ** 

in  1758,  referred  to  under  Josiah'  Belcher. 

10.  Josiah*  Belcher  {John,^  Gregory^),  born  in  Braintree,  June  26, 
1669,  was  a  cordwainer,  and  lived  in  Braintree  until  Jan.,  1713- 
14,  when  he  went  to  Watertown,  from  whence  he  was  warned  two 
months  afterwards.  Later  we  find  him  in  Boston,  being  warned  from 
there  before  July  29,  1723.  He  then  lived  at  Marblehead  for  a 
short  time,  but  returned  soon  to  Boston,  he  and  his  wife  and  two 
sons  being  warned  in  Boston  on  May  22,  1725.  He  remained, 
nevertheless,  and  on  Feb.  25,  1726,  bought  of  Thomas  Bill  (presu- 
mably his  son-in-law)  a  portion  of  the  dwelling  house  of  the  latter 
in  Blackhorse  lane,  which  he  and  his  wife  Margaret  sold  back  to 
Thomas  Bill,  on  Jan.  5,  1729-30.     (Suffolk  Co.  Deeds,  vol.  40, 


134  The  Belcher  Families.  [April, 

page  266,  and  vol.  44,  page  47.)  This  deal  wae  probably  for  the 
purpose  of  securing  a  residence  for  Josiah  and  Margaret  Belcher 
with  their  daughter  Ruth  Bill  in  Boston,  free  from  the  molestations 
of  the  authorities.  In  1734,  Josiah  Belcher  was  refused  a  liquor 
license.  No  further  record  appears  of  him.  He  married  Margaret, 
born  May  11,  1670,  daughter  of  Jonathan  and  Elizabeth  (Ladd) 
Hayden  of  Brain  tree. 
Children : 

20.    i.       John,*  b.  Augt  28,  1694.

shipwright,  of  Boston. 
V.      A  SON,  name  undiscovered, 
vi.     Joseph,  b.  Nov.  1,  1709.    Perhaps  the  Joseph  Belcher  of  Braintree 

who  served  as  seaman  on  the  ship  '•  King  George,"  from  Mar.  16 

to  Oct.  21,  1768;  no  further  record. 

11.  Moses'  Belcher  {Moses,^  Gregan/^),  born  in  Braintree  in  1674,  in- 

herited the  farm  occupied  by  his  father  and  grandfather,  and  resided 
in  Braintree  until  his  death,  about  1745.  He  was  called  "  Sr." 
on  the  records,  to  distinguish  him  from  his  cousin  Moses*  Belcher 
(born  in  1692,  son  of  Samuel').  Moses  Belcher,  Sr.,  held  numerous 
minor  town  offices,  such  as  fence  viewer,  constable,  hogreive,  and 
surveyor  of  highways,  between  the  years  1712  and  1733.  His 
name  occurs  in  several  land  transactions,  but  no  probate  records 
of  his  estate  appear.  He  married  first.  May  20,  1715,  Anne,  born 
about  1 696,  daughter  of  Samuel  and  Anne  (Clay)  Sarson  of  Mar- 
tha's Vineyard,  who  died  Jan.  28,  1721-2,  having  had  three  chil- 
dren ;  and  married  second,  Jan.  3, 1726-7,  Alice,  born  June  9, 1698, 
daughter  of  Dr.  John  and  Sarah  (Newton)  Wilson  of  Braintree,  and 
great-granddaughter  of  Rev.  John  Wilson,  first  pastor  of  the  First 
Church  in  Boston.  She  died  without  issue,  in  1754. 
Children  by  first  wife  :

11.     Anne,  b.  May  19,  1718;  probably  m.  Aug.  11,  1748,  as  his  second 

wife,  Maj.  Joseph  Crosby  of  Braintree. 
Hi.    Mary,  b.  Dec.  11,  1720;  d.  Aug.  18,  1725. 

12.  Dea.  Gregory'  Belcher  (Samuel,*  Chegory^),  bom  in  Braintree, 

Feb.  28,  1664-5,  always  resided  there,  where  he  held  many  minor 
town  offices,  and  was  deacon  in  the  church  for  many  years.  Besides 
carrying  on  farming,  he  also  followed  the  occupation  of  shipwright 
and  carpenter.  He  was  killed  in  an  accident,  by  a  plough,  July  4, 
1727.  He  married,  Mar.  25,  1689-90,  Elizabeth,  born  in  1669, 
daughter  of  John  and  Rebecca. (Farns worth)  Ruggles  of  Braintree, 
who  died  Nov.  22,  1748.

offices,  and  died  Dec.  19,  1714.  He  married,  in  1688,  Comfort,

ESDRAS  READE. 

By  CHABLB8  F&BNOH  Rbad,  £sq.,  of  Boston. 

Among  the  great  company  of  English  people  who  joined  in  the 
Puritan  movement  which  settled  at  the  Massachusetts  Bay  early  in  the 
seventeenth  century,  the  name  of  Esdras  Reade  finds  a  place,  and 
it  seems  proper  to  publish  this  brief  biography  of  him,  that  coming 
generations  of  his  descendants  may  study  the  life  of  their  first 
American  ancestor  of  the  name. 

The  earliest  mention  of  Esdras  Reade,  which  I  have  as  yet  found, 
is  in  the  Records  of  the  Town  of  Boston,  under  date  of  December 
24,  1638.  The  entry  reads  that  ''Esdras  Reade,  a  Taylor,  is  this 
day  allowed  to  bee  an  Inhabitant  and  to  have  a  great  lot  at  Muddy 
Biver  for  4  heads.**  Muddy  River  was  then  a  part  of  Boston,  and 
in  1705  became  the  present  town  of  Brookline.  But  evidently  con- 
ditions in  Muddy  River  were  not  satisfactory  to  Esdras  Reade, 
owing  possibly  to  the  fact  that  the  hamlet  was  four  miles  from  Bos- 
ton, for  we  find  that  after  a  stay  of  a  few  weeks  he  removed  to 
Salem,  Mass.,  the  records  of  that  town  telling  us,  under  date  of 
February  25,  1639,  that  ''Esdras  Reade  is  receaved  to  be  an  in- 
hattant  at  the  towne  of  Salem." 

He  received  grants  of  land  from  the  town,  joined,  with  his  wife 
Alice,  the  First  Church  of  Salem,  and  was  made  a  freeman  of  the 
Massachusetts  Bay  Colony,  June  2,  1641.  While  a  resident  of 
Salem,  his  two  children,  Obadiah  and  Bethiah,  the  only  ones  he 
had,  were  baptized  in  the  First  Church,  the  record  being  "  1640  31 
3     Two  children  of  Esdras  Reade." 

It  is  evident  that  the  migratory  habits  of  our  ancestors  of  the 
seventeenth  century  fastened  themselves  upon  the  subject  of  this 
sketch,  for  in  1644,  Esdras  Reade  with  other  members  of  the  Salem 
church,  including  the  pastor.  Rev.  John  Fiske,  founded  the  town 
of  Wenham,  Mass.,  which  was  called,  before  its  incorporation, 
Enon,  meaning  much  water. 

While  a  resident  of  Wenham,  he  was  a  leading  citizen  of  the 
town.  HHving,  with  his  wife,  become  a  member  of  the  First 
Church  of  Wenham,  when  it  was  organized  October  8,  1644,  he 
w^as  elected  the  first  deacon,  and  he  also 'represented  the  town  in 
the  General  Court  in  the  years  1648  and  1651. 

A  few  years  later  brought  another  change  of  residence,  for  in 
1655  he  was  one  of  the  founders  of  the  town  of  Chelmsford,  Mass. 
A  recital  of  the  proceedings  which  led  to  the  settlement  of  the  new 
town  may  be  interesting. 

To  quote  from  a  history  of  Middlesex  County : 

In  September,  1654,  propositions  were  made  to  Rev.  John  Fiske 
and  his  church  in  Wenham  to  remove  to  Chelmsford,  Mass.,  and 
the  account  of  the  proceedings  which  resulted  in  their  removal 


138  JEsdras  Reade.  [April, 

there  is  preserved  in  the  handwriting  of  Mr.  Fiske.  It  is  written 
in  the  quaint  diction  of  the  time,  and  reads  as  follows :  ^  A  day 
was  set  of  meeting  at  Chelmsford.  Upon  the  said  day  set  divers 
of  ye  brethren  accompanied  ye  pastor  over  unto  Chelmsford  where 
ye  committee  and  divers  others  were  present.  A  view  was  taken 
of  ye  place.  The  brethren  present  satisfied  themselves  about  their 
accommodations,  and  proposals  were  then  made  to  ye  pastor  for 
his  accommodation  and  yearly  maintenance,  as  to  be  tendered  unto 
him  by  consent  of  ye  whole  of  inhabitants  and  in  the  name  of  ye 
committee." 

Soon  after  their  return  to  Wenham,  the  larger  part  of  the  church, 
with  their  pastor,  decided  to  accept  Chelmsford's  proposals.  But 
at  this  time  the  proceedings  were  discontinued.  We  now  return  to 
Mr.  Fiske's  account.  ^*  Thus  the  matter  lay  dormant  as  'twere  all 
winter,  until  ye  first  month  '55  at  which  time  Brother  Reade  coming 
over,  enformed  us  in  such  wise  here  at  Wenham,  as  thereupon  ye 
paster  and  ye  said  engaged  brethren  demurred  upon  ye  proceedings^ 
and  some  that  had  sold  here  at  Wenham  redeemed  their  accommo^ 
dations  again  into  their  possession  and  a  letter  was  suitably  sent  by 
Brother  Reade  to  acquaint  ye  Chelmsford  committee  how  things 
stood,  and  advised  to  stead  themselves  elsewhere." 

The  matter  was  not  abandoned.  Several  letters  passed  between 
the  parties.  In  June,  1655,  a  conunittee  went  with  letters  for 
Chelmsford,  *^  with  full  power  to  then  and  there  to  treat  and  finalla 
to  determine  the  business  between  both  parties.  The  matter  way 
referred  to  counsel.  This  case  thus  determined  on  either  side, 
preparations  were  made  for  ye  removal  of  ye  church.  Accordingly 
about  ye  13"^  of  ye  9"^  month  '55  there  were  met  at  Chelmsford,  ye 
pastor  with  ye  engaged  brethren  of  Wenham,  seven  in  all,  to  whom 
such  of  the  brethren  of  Wobume  and  Concord  churches  late  at 
Wenham  presented  themselves  and  testimony  given^  were  by  a  unani- 
mous vote  received  in  fellowship." 

At  the  first  town  meeting  in  Chelmsford,  held  November  22» 
1655,  Esdras  Reade  was  elected  one  of  a  **  committee  to  officiate  in 
ordering  the  publick  affaires." 

Three  years  later  found  him  again  on  the  move,  for  in  1658  he 
came  to  live  in  Boston  a  second  time ;  and  two  years  later,  in  1660, 
the  records  of  Chelmsford  tell  us  that  "  John  Webb  is  admitted  to 
purchase  all  the  rights  and  privileges  granted  by  the  town  of 
Chelmsford  to  Esdras  Reade."  He  joined  with  his  wife,  possibly  a 
second  one,  the  Second  Church  of  Boston,  August  4,  1661. 

Nine  years  later  he  was  living  in  Wobum,  Mass.,  for  in  the  deed 
of  a  sale  of  land  which  he  made  in  1670,  he  calls  himself  *^  Esdras 
Reade,  Taylor  of  Wobum."  But  by  the  following  year  he  had  be- 
come a  resident  of  Boston  for  the  third  time,  as  is  shown  in  another 
deed,  and  he  apparently  lived  there  continuously  until  his  death  in 
1680, 


1906.]  Liseriptions  in  Connecticut.  139 

It  is  probable  that  his  home  was  situated  at  the  intersection  of  the 
thoroughfares  which  we  call  to-day  Salem  and  Prince  Streets.  He 
sold  this  estate,  January  12,  1674,  to  Samuel  Brackenbury,  physi- 
cian, for  the  sum  of  £132,  and  the  deed  of  sale  gives  the  location 
as  '^  at  the  intersection  of  a  street  that  leads  from  the  Second  Meet- 
ing House  in  Boston  towards  Century  Haven  and  a  lane  that  leads 
from  the  said  street  towards  Winnissimmet  Ferry  Place. ^ 

Esdras  Reafle,  and  here  I  quote  the  inscription  on  the  gravestone 
of  another  ancestor,  **  after  he  had  served  his  generation,  by  the  will 
of  God,  fell  on  sleep '^  in  Boston,  July  27,  1680,  at  the  advanced  age 
of  eighty-five  years.  He  lies  buried  in  Copp's  Hill  Burying  Ground, 
Boston,  and  over  his  grave  is  to  be  seen  to-day  the  double  grave- 
stone of  himself  and  his  second  wife  Sarah.  It  is  inscribed  in  part : 
**  Here  lyeth  buried  |  ye  boddy  of  |  Esdras  Reade  aged  |  85  Years 
Died  I  July  ye  27  |  1680.** 

He  died  intestate,  and  his  small  estate  was  administered  by  his 
son,  Obadiah  Read.  The  inventory  of  his  property  shows  that  he 
was,  until  his  death,  engaged  in  making  a  living  by  his  trade,  and 
he  was  possessed  of  a  complement  of  tailor's  tools. 

And  so  we  take  leave  of  Esdras  Read,  taylor.  When  he  came 
to  the  now  great  city  of  Boston,  in  1638,  it  was  a  hamlet  of  about 
thirty  families. 

During  his  life,  the  Colonies  of  Massachusetts  Bay  and  Plymouth 
were  united  in  one,  and  seventy  towns  were  incorporated  by  the 
General  Court.  He  saw  the  persecution  of  the  Quakers,  and  the 
havoc  caused  by  King  Philip's  War.  The  closing  years  of  his  life 
were  passed  amid  the '  political  disturbances  which  resulted,  four 
years  after  his  death,  in  the  annulment  of  the  Charter  of  Massa- 
chusetts Bay  by  King  Charles  the  Second.

FRANCIS  WEST  OF  DUXBURY,  MASS.,  AND  SOME  OF

Bj  Edward  E.  Cornwall,  M.D.,  of  Brooklyn,  N.  Y. 

1.  "  Francis  West,  a  house  carpenter  by  trade,  being  a  single  man, 
invited  by  a  Mr.  Thomas  of  Marshfield,  Massachusetts,  left  the  town  of 
Salisbury  in  England  and  came  to  N.  England,  and  settled  in  Duxburj, 
Mass.,  and  married  Margrey  Reeves,  by  whom  he  had  five  children,  viz., 
Samuel,  Thomas,  Peter,  Mary  and  Ruth."  So  wrote  Judge  Zebulou  West 
(1707-1770),  a  great-grandson  of  the  emigrant,  who  probably  learned 
these  facts  from  his  father,  also  named  Francis  (1669-1731),  who  lived 
with  the  emigrant  in  Duxbury  until  lie  grew  up. 

Francis  West  married  Margaret  Reeves,  in  Duxbury,  F^b.  27,  1639, 
and  died  in  that  town,  Jan.  2,  1692,  aged  86.  He  is  spoken  of  as  a  car- 
penter in  tlie  Duxbury  records,  and  Uie  Plymouth  Colony  records  show 
that  he  made  a  pair  of  stocks  for  the  town  of  Duxbury  in  1640.  In  1640 
and  1642  he  was  a  member  of  the  Grand  Jury ;  in  1642  he  bought  a  house 
and  land  in  Duxbury  (Millbrook)  ;  and  in  1643  he  was  on  the  list  of  those 
able  to  bear  arms.  He  was  admitted  freeman  in  Plymouth  Colony  in  1 656. 
In  1658  he  was  surveyor  of  highways  in  Duxbury;  constable  in  1661  ;  and 
in  1662,  *69,  74,  78,  '80  and  *81  was  a  member  of  the  "  Grand  Enquest.'* 
During  the  last  years  of  his  life  his  son  Peter  took  care  of  him,  and  his 
estate,  which  amounted  to  only  £16:  15:  00,  was  given  to  Peter  by  the 
Probate  Court.

FAIRBANKS   MARRIAGES   IN  THE  PARISH  OF  HALI- 
FAX, WEST  RIDING  OF  YORKSHIRE,  ENGLAND. 
From  1538  to  1624. 

Communicated  by  Rev.  Hiram  Francis  Fairbanks,  of  Milwaukee,  Wis. 

Inasmuch  as  several  early  American  emigrants  came  from  the 
above  named  parish,  this  list  may  prove  interesting. 

The  Fairbank,  or  Fairbanks,  family  was  probably  in  this  parish  as 
early  as  450  years  ago.  The  earliest  will,  that  of  Richard  of  Hep- 
tonstall,  in  1517,  says  his  father  lived,  and  he  was  bom,  in  Kendall 
of  Westmoreland.  John  Fairbank  of  Sowerby  in  1517  was  prob- 
ably a  brother  of  Richard,  and  Edmund  Fairbank  of  Heptonstall 
was  very  likely  his  uncle.  Edmund,  who  made  his  will  in  1533, 
was  probably  bom  about  1460  or  earlier.  He  seems  to  have  been 
a  man  of  considerable  local  importance.  Two  of  his  sons,  Sir 
William  and  Sir  George,  were  priests,  and  he  had  helped  found  a 
chapel.  He  seems  to  have  had  a  chaplain,  Sir  John  Grenwood ; 
and  to  have  possessed  considerable  land  and  money.  He  willed  two 
''  Macers,"  doubtless  the  symbol  of  some  authority.

(This  is  the  marriage  of  Jonathan  Fayrbauke  who  came  to  New  Eng- 
land in  1633,  and  settled  at  Dedham  in  1636.  All  his  children  were  bap- 
tized in  the  great  parish  church  of  Halifax,  most  of  them  having  been 
born  in  Warley,  which  adjoins  Sowerby,  although  Mary  and  George  were 
bom  in  Shelf,  which  is  to  the  northeast  of  Halifax.  All  these  townships 
are  in  the  parish  of  Plalifax.  George  Fayrbanke  of  Sowerby,  who  was 
churchwarden  in  1612,  and  who  died  in  1620^  was  evidently  a  near  rela- 
tive of  this  Jonathan,  for  all  his  children  had  the  same  names  as  those  of 
the  emigrant.  His  son  Jonathan  graduated  from  Brazenose  College,  Ox- 
ford, and  became  Protestant  Vicar  of  Bingley,  Yorkshire,  where  he  re- 
mained until  more  than  eighty  years  of  age.)

The  following  entry  in  the  records  of  the  old  Congregational

additional  Records.] 

[Previous  History] 

Finding  no  Record  of  the  Church  previous  to  the  year  1717  I  thought

f'ves  vs  of  the  firft  Settlement  of  the  Church  He  tells  us  that  the  same

was  gathered  (which  was  in  1641)  &  that  the  Revr**  Mr.  Thomas  Mayhew 
was  ordained  Paftor  of  it.  he  was  lost  in  a  Voiage  to  England  in  the  year 
1657  He  speaks  of  the  Lofs  of  M''  Mayhew  so  great  to  the  whole  If  land 
hoth  Natives  &  Englifh.  It  was  many  years  before  there  was  another  Min- 
ifter  settled  in  the  Place.  The  Rev**  M^  Jonathan  Dun-  rr  «  d  b  ih 
ham  being  the  next.  I  find  no  account  in  what  year  that  chh  Records  of

that  in  Feb  16G4  the  Town  invited  Mr.  John  Colton  to  preach  with  them

the  Death  of  his  son  He  preached  to  the  white  People  <&  to  the  Indians  <& 
that  at  70  years  of  age  he  travelled  20  miles  thro'  the  Woods  which  might 
be  from  Edgartown  to  Gay  Head  to  preach  to  the  Indians  &  as  there  was 
no  English  ilouse  to  lodge  in  He  lodged  in  their  Wigwams  as  mate.  He 
continued  his  Labours  till  a  short  Time  before  his  Death  &  retained  his

RICHARD   SCOTT  AND  HIS  WIFE   CATHARINE  MAR- 
BURY,  AND  SOME  OF  THEIR  DESCENDANTS. 

By  Stephen  F.  Pbokham,  Esq.,  of  New  York  City. 

Richard*  Scott  was  the  son  of  Edward^  and  Sarah  (Carter)  Scott, 
and  was  born  at  Glemsford,  Suffolk,  England,  in  1607.  Edward  Scott 
was  of  the  Scotts  of  Scott's  Hall  in  Kent,*  who  traced  their  lineage  through 
John  Baliol  to  the  early  Kings  of  Scotland.  Richard  Scott's  wife  was 
Catharine,t  daughter  of  Rev.  Francis  Marbury  and  his  wife  Bridget  Dry- 
den,  daughter  of  John  Dryden,  Esq.,  and  his  wife  Elizabeth,  daughter  of 
Sir  John  Cope.  .  Col.  Joseph  L.  Chester  says  {ante,  vol.  xx.,  p.  367)  **  It 
will  be  seen  therefore  that  Ann  Marbury  Hutchinson,  by  both  parents,  de- 
scended from  gentle  and  heraldic  families  of  England."  Of  course  the 
same  could  be  said  of  her  sister  Catharine,  and  of  her  husband. 

Richard  Scott  aud  his  wife  probably  came  to  New  England  with  the 
Hutchinson  party  on  the  Griffin  in  1634.  Winthrop  writes,  "  Nov.  24, 
1634,  one  Scott  and  Eliot  of  Ipswich,  was  lost  in  their  way  homewards 
and  wandered  up  and  down  six  days  and  eat  nothing.  At  length  they 
were  found  by  an  Indian,  being  almost  senseless  for  want  of  rest."  But 
if  this  refers  to  Richard  Scott,  he  might  have  come  in  Win throp's  party. 

Richard  Scott  was  admitted  a  member  of  the  Boston  Church,  Aug.  28, 
1634.  He  next  appears  of  record  at  the  trial  of  his  sister-in-law  Ann 
Hutchinson,  March  22, 1 638,  when  he  said,  "  I  desire  to  propound  this  one 
scruple,  wch  keepes  me  that  I  cannot  so  freely  in  my  spirit  give  way  to 
excommunication  whither  it  was  not  better  to  give  her  a  little  time  to  con- 
sider of  the  things  that  is  ...  .  vised  against  her,  because  she  is  not  yet  con- 
vinced of  her  Lye  and  so  things  is  with  her  in  Distraction,  and  she  cannot 
recollect  her  thoughts." 

He  next  appears  in  Providence.  What  was  then  included  in  the  "  Prov- 
idence Plantations  "  is  now  embraced  in  the  towns  of  Woonsocket  west  of 
the  river,  North  Smithfield,  Smithfield,  Lincoln,  North  Providence,  Johns- 
ton, Providence  and  Cranston.     Before  1700,  the  settlements  centered  in 

*In  the  ReoistbRi  vol.  xxxi.,  p.  345,  will  be  found  a  review  of  "Memorials  of  the 
family  of  Scott  of  Scott's  Hall  in  the  County  of  Kent,"  by  James  Renat  Scott,  Lon- 
.don,  1876. 

t  In  the  Rboistbr,  vol.  xx.,  page  355,  in  an  article  on  the  Hutchinson  Family,  there  is 
much  relatinfir  to  Ann  Marbury  Hutchinson,  and  incidentallv  to  her  sister  Catharine 
Marburv  Scott.  In  vol.  xxi.,  p.  283,  is  an  account  of  the  Marbury  Family  with  the  will 
of  the  Rev.  Francis  Marbury.  In  vol.  xxii.,  p.  13,  is  the  pedigree  of  Richard  Scott, 
the  article  containing  much  that  later  researches  have  proved  to  be  erroneous  and 
reaching  conclusions  wholly  erroneous.  In  vol.  xxiii.,  p.  121,  is  an  article  on  the  an- 
tiquity of  the  name  of  Scott.  In  vol.  li.,  p.  254,  will  be  found  the  will  of  George  Scott 
of  London,  England,  a  brother  of  Richard  Scott,  which  furnishes  absolute  proof  of  the 
ancestry  of  Ricnard  Scott. 


1906.]  Richard  Scott.  169 

what  18  now  the  city  of  Providence,  with  farms  extending  north  up  the  val- 
ley of  the  Blackstone  river,  west  of  Pawtucket  and  Lonsdale.  Cumberland 
was  then  a  part  of  the  Massachusetts  town  of  Behoboth. 

There  is  no  record  evidence  of  the  time  when  Richard  Scott  first  ap- 
peared at  Providence.  Familiar  as  I  have  been  from  childhood  with  the 
Blackstone  valley,  and  after  a  careful  study  of  the  subject  for  many  years, 
I  have  reached  the  conclusion  that  a  mistake  has  been  made  in  identifying 
Providence  with  Moshasuck.  I  believe  that  the  latter  settlement,  while 
within  the  original  limits  of  Providence,  as  first  laid  out,  was  about  a  mile 
west  of  Lonsdale,  and  a  short  distance  west  of  Scott's  Pond,  where  Richard 
Scott,  Thomas  Arnold,  Thomas  Harris,  Christopher  Smith,  and  others  who 
became  Quakers,  made  a  settlement,  which  was  begun  before  Roger  Williams 
planted  at  the  spring,  the  water  of  which  still  flows  into  a  trough  on  Canal 
Street  in  the  city  of  Providence.  At  Moshasuck,  Richard  Scott  owned  a 
very  large  tract  of  land,  some  of  which  remained  in  his  descendants  for  200 
years,  which  included  what  is  now  Saylesville  and  Lonsdale  and  the  land 
between  them  and  around  Scott's  Pond.  It  became  the  Quaker  settlement, 
as  distinguished  from  the  Baptist  settlement  at  the  head  of  Narragansett 
Bay. 

The  first  document  to  which  Richard  Scott  affixed  his  signature  was  the 
so-called  Providence  Compact,*  which  is  pasted  on  to  the  first  page  of  the 
earliest  book  of  Records  of  the  city  of  Providence.  It  is  stated  that  when 
these  records  were  copied  in  1800,  there  was  opposite  the  page  on  which 
the  famous  compact  is  inscribed  an  entry  bearing  date  August  20,  1 637. 
This  date  has  been  assumed  to  be  the  date  on  which  the  compact  was  signed. 
Until  I  obtained  a  photograph  of  this  instrument,  I  supposed  it  was  drawn 
up  by  Roger  Williams  and  signed  by  the  then  citizens  of  Providence,  but 
it  is  in  the  handwriting  of  Richard  Scott,  who  was  the  first  to  sign  it.  He 
also  signed  for  William  Reynolds  and  John  Field,  who  made  their  marks. 
Then,  using  the  same  ink,  Chad  Browne,  John  Warner  and  Greorge  Ric- 
card  signed.  Then,  using  another  ink  that  has  faded,  Edward  Cope,  Thomas 
Angell,  Thomas  Harris,  Francis  Weekes,  Benedict  Arnold,  Joshua  Winsor, 
and  William  Wickenden  signed.  Here  are  thirteen  names,  but  not  the  names 
of  the  thirteen  proprietors  of  the  town  of  Providence,  nor  one  of  them. 

It  appears  to  me  as  almost  certain  that  William  Arnold  and  others  had 
located  at  Pautuxet,  and  Richard  Scott  and  others  had  located  at  Mosha- 
suck, before  Roger  Williams  and  others  crossed  over  from  Seckonk,  in 
June,  1636,  began  building  near  where  St  John's  church  now  stands  in 
Providence,  and  named  the  settlement  Providence.  It  is  equally  certain 
that  Roger  Williams  secured  from  the  Indians  a  deed  that  covered,  or  was 
afterwards  made  to  cover,  the  land  on  which  William  Arnold  and  Richard 
Scott  had  located,  thus  sowing  the  seed  for  the  perpetual  feuds  that  existed 
between  Roger  Williams  and  his  '*  louing  ifriends  and  Neighbors."  In 
1637,  Richard  Scott  went  to  Boston  and  married  Catharine  Marbury.  Re- 
turning to  his  home  in  Providence  in  March,  1638,  he  drew  up  and  signed 
the  celebrated  compact,  expecting  that  Roger  Williams  and  his  fellow  suf- 
ferers, fleeing  from  the  persecution  of  the  triumphant  Boston  party,  would 
all  sign  it,  and  thus  found  a  commonwealth  absolutely  divested  of  the 
theocratic  principle.  In  this  he  was  mistaken.  William  Arnold,  and  his 
party,  were  joined  by  Stukeley  Westcott,  Thomas  Olney,  Francis  Weston, 
and  Richard  Waterman,  who  had  been  banished  from  Salem,  and  they 
forced  or  persuaded  Roger  Williams,  October  6,  1638,  to  deed  to  them  an

ondiyided  interest  in  the  town  of  Providence.  In  this,  Richard  Scott  and 
his  friends  who  signed  the  com(>act  had  no  share.  Finally,  those  who 
signed  the  compact  and  those  who  were  grantees  under  the  deed  from  Roger 
Williams,  with  others  who  had  arrived  meantime,  joined  in  an  arrangement 
by  which  they  became  "  Purchasers  of  Providence."  Under  this  agree- 
ment, the  neck  between  Providence  harbor  and  the  Blackstone  river  was 
divided  into  town  lots  and  distributed  to  54  purchasers,  of  which  Richard 
Scott  was  one.  His  lot  was  next  north  of  Roger  Williams,  and  extended 
up  over  the  hill  north  of  Bo  wen  Street 

The  conclusion  therefore  is  inevitable,  that  whatever  credit  belongs  to 
the  author  of  this  celebrated  instrument  belongs  to  Richard  Scott  alone, 
and  that  Roger  Williams  not  only  had  nothing  to  do  with  it,  but  refused  to 
sign  it.     It  reads  as  follows : 

**  We  whofe  names  are  hereunder  defirous  to  inhabitt  in  ye  towne  of  proui- 
dence  do  promife  to  f ubiect  ourselves  in  actiue  or  paffiae  obedience  to  all  fach 
orders  or  agreements  as  f hall  be  made  for  publick  good  of  o'  body  in  an  or- 
derly way  by  the  maior  confent  of  the  prefent  Inhabitants  maift^rs  of  families 
Incorporated  together  Into  a  towne  fellowfhip  and  others  whom  they  fhall  ad- 
mltt  into  them 

only  in  ciaill  things/' 

January  16,  1638,  Winthrop  notes,  "At  Providence  things  grow  still 
worse ;  for  a  sister  of  Mrs.  Hutchinson,  the  wife  of  one  Scott,  being  infected 
with  Anabaptistry,  and  going  last  year  to  live  in  Providence,  Mr.  Williams 
was  taken  (or  rather  emboldened)  by  her  to  make  open  professson  thereof, 
and  accordingly  was  rcbaptized  by  one  Holyman,  a  poor  man  late  of  Sa- 
lem." There  is  no  other  evidence  that  Catharine  Scott  had,  or  wished  to 
have,  any  influence  upon  Roger  Williams.  They  never  agreed,  and  upon 
two  occasions  Roger  Williams  had  her,  with  other  wives  of  his  neighbors, 
arrested,  but  he  did  not  carry  his  suits  to  a  conclusion  before  the  Court. 

On  the  27th  of  5th  month  1640,  Robert  Coles,  Chad  Browne,  William 
Harris,  and  John  Warner,  were  chosen  Arbitrators  to  draw  up  what  is 
known  as  the  "  Combination,"  which  is  a  sort  of  agreement  for  arbitration 
for  the  adjustment  of  differences  between  "  louing  ffriends  and  Neigh- 
bours." Two  of  these  arbitrators  signed  the  compact,  and  two  were  gran- 
tees under  the  deed  from  Roger  Williams,  and  the  agreement  adjusted  dif- 
ferences between  the  Pawtuxet  men,  the  Providence  men,  and  the  Mosha- 
suck  men.  The  Combination  was  signed  by  12  who  signed  the  compact, 
by  Roger  Williams  and  8  grantees  under  the  deed,  and  18  others.  Richard 
Scott  was  one  of  the  signers  of  the  Combination,  which  contains  the  follow- 
ing clause,  "  we  agree  As  formerly  hath  ben  the  liberties  of  the  Town :  so 
still  to  hold  forth  Libertye  of  Conscience." 

From  1640  to  1 650,  the  Scotts  appear  to  have  been  quiet  and  prosperous 
citizens.  They  sold  their  town  lot  and  moved  out  into  the  country,  upon 
their  lands  at  Moshasuck.  Richard'  Scott  shared  in  all  the  allotments  of 
land,  and  acquired  a  large  estate.  Patience  Island,  in  the  Bay,  was  deeded 
to  him  "  aboute  ye  year  1651,"  by  Roger  Williams. 

The  children  of  Richard*  and  Catharine  were : 

1.  John,'  d.  1677;  m.  Rebecca  Browne. 

2.  Mary,  m.  Christopher  Holder. 

3.  Hannah,  b.  1642 ;  d.  July  24,  1681 ;  m.  Walter  Clarke. 

4.  Patience,  b.  1648 ;  m.  Henry  Beere. 

5.  Deliverance,        d.  Feb.  10, 1676;  m.  William  Richardson.

1906.]  Richard  Scott.  171 

Some  time  in  1656,  Christopher  Holder,  a  Quaker,  came  over  from  Eng- 
land and  visited  Providence.  It  is  a  tradition  that  Richard^  Scott,  his  wife 
and  daughters,  soon  became  converts  to  the  new  faith.  There  is  nothing 
to  indicate  that  John*  Scott  was  ever  of  that  faith.  Although  the  evidence 
concerning  the  identity  of  John  Scott's  wife  is  by  no  means  certain,  I  think 
there  is  very  good  reason  for  believing  her  to  have  been  the  daughter  of 
John  and  Sarah  Browne  of  Old  Swansea,  who  were  baptists,  members  of 
John  Myles's  church.  It  is  known  that  there  was  a  second  son,  and  there 
b  reason  for  believing  his  name  was  Richard. 

The  daughter  Mary'  and  Christopher  Holder  formed  an  attachment,  and 
when  two  years  later  he  was  arrested  in  Boston  on  the  charge  of  being  a 
Quaker,  and  sentenced  to  lose  his  ears,  Catharine  Scott  and  her  daughter 
Patience,  then  1 1  years  old,  went  to  Boston  to  comfort  the  young  man  in 
his  trial.  The  story  is  thus  told  by  Greorge  Bishop  in  his  '*  New-England 
Judged,  by  the  Spirit  of  the  Lord  " :  *'  And  Katharine  Scot,  of  the  Town 
of  Providence,  in  the  Jurifdiction  of  Rhode-Ifland  (a  Mother  of  many  Chil- 
dren, one  that  had  lived  with  her  Husband,  of  Unblameable  Couverfation, 
and  a  Grave,  Sober,  Ancient  Woman,  and  of  good  Breeding,  as  to  the  Out- 
ward, as  Men  account)  coming  to  i^ee  the  f^xecution  of  the  faid  Three,  as 
afordiaid  [Christopher  Holder,  John  Copeland  and  John  Rouse,  all  single 
young  men,  their  ears  cut  off  the  7th  of  7th  month  1658,  by  order  of 
John  Endicott,  Gov.]  whofe  Ears  you  cut  off,  and  faying  upon  their  doing 
it  privately, — That  it  was  evident  they  were  going  to  act  the  Works  of 
Darknefs,  or  elfe  they  would  have  brought  them  forth  Publickly,  and  have 
declared  their  Offence,  that  others  may  hear  and  fear. — Ye  committed  her 
to  Prifon,  and  gave  her  Ten  Cruel  Stripes  with  a  three-fold-corded-knotted- 
Whip,  with  that  Cruelty  in  the  Execution,  as  to  others,  on  the  second  Day 
of  the  eighth  Month,  1658.  The'  ye  confeffed,  when  ye  had  her  before 
yoii,  that  for  ought  ye  knew,  fhe  had  been  of  an  Unblameable  Couverfa- 
tion ;  and  tho'  fome  of  you  knew  her  Father,  and  called  him  Mr.  Mar- 
bery,  and  that  fhe  had  been  well-bred  (as  among  Men)  and  had  fo  lived, 
and  that  fhe  was  the  Mother  of  many  Children  ;  yet  ye  whipped  her  for  all 
that,  and  moreover  told  her — That  ye  were  likely  to  have  a  Law  to  Hang 
her,  if  She  came  thither  again — To  which  fhe  anfwered, — If  God  call  us, 
Wo  be  to  us,  if  we  come  not ;  and  I  question  not,  but  he  whom  we  love, 
will  make  us  not  to  count  our  Lives  dear  unto  our  felves  for  the  fake  of  his 
Name — To  which  your  Governour,  John  Endicot,  replied, — And  we  shall 
be  as  ready  to  take  away  yonr  Lives,  as  ye  fhall  be  to  lay  them  down — 
How  wicked  the  Expreffion  let  the  Reader  judge." 

The  whip  used  is  thus  described  by  Bishop.  "  The  whip  used  for  these 
cruel  Executions  is  not  of  whip  cord,  as  in  England,  but  of  dryed  Guts, 
such  as  the  Base  of  Viols,  and  with  three  knots  at  the  end,  which  many 
times  the  Hangman  lays  on  with  both  his  hands,  and  must  needs  be  of 
most  violent  Torture  and  exercise  of  the  Body." 

Afterwards  the  daughter  Mary'  visited  her  lover  in  prison,  but  the  Bos- 
ton people  sent  her  back  to  Providence  without  a  whipping,  a  remarkable 
exercise  of  mercy  for  them,  although  they  kept  her  in  prison  a  month.  In 
the  spring  of  1660,  Mary'  Scott  and  her  mother  went  back  to  England, 
and  on  Aug.  12  she  was  married  there  to  Christopher  Holder.  In  a  letter 
dated  Sept.  8  of  that  year,  Roger  Williams  wrote  to  Governor  John  Win- 
throp  of  Conn.,  "  Sir,  my  neighbor,  Mrs.  Scott,  is  come  from  England,  and 
what  the  whip  at  Boston  could  not  do,  converse  with  friends  in  England, 
and  their  arguments  have  in  a  great  measure  drawn  her  from  the  Quakers

and  wholly  from  their  meetings."  Catharine  Scott's  death  is  recorded  in 
the  Recoids  of  Friends  at  Newport,  which  is  absolute  proof  that  she  died 
in  full  standing  among  them. 

Feb.  26, 1676,  Richard'  Scott  confirmed  a  deed,  made  many  years  before, 
of  Patience  Island  to  Christopher  Holder  and  his  wife  Mary.  A  copy  of 
this  deed  will  be  found  in  the  Register,  vol.  xxii,  page  13. 

Richard'  Scott's  daughter  Patience'  married  Henry  Beere,  who  was  mas- 
ter of  a  sloop  running  between  Providence  and  Newport  His  daughter 
Hannah'  married  Walter  Clarke,  son  of  Jeremiah  and  Frances  (Latham) 
Clarke,  who  was  one  of  the  Quaker  Governors  of  the  Colony. 

In  1666,  Richard  Scott  was  chosen  from  Providence  a  deputy  to  the 
Legislature. 

In  1672,  George  Fox  visited  New  England  and  preached  in  Newport, 
B.  I.,  with  great  acceptance,  which  greatly  disturbed  Roger  Williams.  In 
1676,  Roger  Williams  published  in  fioston,  a  book  entitled  "  Greorge  Fox 
digg'd  out  of  his  Burrowes,"  which  for  scurrilous  abuse  has  few  equals,  and 
which,  when  considered  as  the  production  of  an  apostle  of  Liberty  of  Con- 
sdence,  is  one  of  the  most  extraordinary  books  ever  printed.  In  1678, 
Greorge  Fox  published  in  London,  *'  A  New-England  Fire-Brand  Quenched, 
Being  Something  in  Answer  unto  a  Lying,  Slanderous  Book,  Entitled 
George  Fox  Digged  out  of  his  Burrows,  &c.  Printed  at  Boston,  in  the 
Year  1676,  of  one  Roger  Williams  of  Providence  in  New-England."  It 
seems  that  George  Fox  addressed  letters  to  William  Coddiugton  and  Rich- 
ard Scott,  two  of  the  most  eminent  Quakers  in  Rhode  Island,  and  whom 
he  had  probably  met  at  Newport,  and  asked  them  what  manner  of  man 
Roger  Williams  was.  They  both  replied  at  length,  George  Fox  inserting 
the  replies  in  his  book  as  an  appendix,  from  which  I  copy  as  follows : 

"  Friends, 

Concerning  the  Converfation  and  Carriage  of  this  Man  Roger  Williams, 
I  have  been  his  Neighbour  thef e  38.  years :  I  have  only  been  Abfent  in 
the  time  of  the  Wars  with  the  Indians,  till  this  prefent — I  walked  with 
him  in  the  Baptifts  Way  about  3  or  4  Months,  but  in  that  fhort  time  of 
his  Standing  I  difcemed,  that  he  muft  have  the  Ordering  of  all  their 
Affairs,  or  elfe  there  would  be  no  Quiet  Agreement  amongft  them.  In 
which  time  he  brake  off  from  his  Society,  and  declared  at  large  the 
Ground  and  Reasons  of  it :  That  their  Baptif  m  could  not  be  right,  be- 
caufe  It  was  not  Adminiftred  by  an  Apoftle.  After  that  he  fet  up  a  Way 
of  Seeking  (with  two  or  three  of  them,  that  had  deffented  with  him)  by 
way  of  Preaching  and  Praying ;  and  there  he  continued  a  Year  or  two, 
till  Two  of  the  Three  left  him. 

That  which  took  moft  with  him,  and  was  his  Life,  was,  To  get  Honor 
amougft  Men,  efpecially  amongft  the  Great  Ones.  For  after  his  Society 
and  he  in  a  Church- Way  were  parted,  he  then  went  to  New-England,*  and 
there  he  got  a  Charter :  and  coming  from  Bof ton  to  Providence,  at  Sea- 
conk  the  Neighbours  of  Providence  met  him  with  fourteen  Cannoes,  and 
carryed  him  to  Providence.  And  the  Man  being  hemmed  in  in  the  middle 
of  the  Cannoes,  was  so  Elevated  and  Tranfported  out  of  himfelf,  that  I 
was  condemned  in  my  felf,  that  amongft  the  Reft  I  had  been  an  Inftrument' 
to  fet  him  up  in  his  Pride  and  Folly,  And  he  that  before  could  reprove 
my  Wife,  for  asking  her  Two  Sons,  Why  they  did  not  pull  of  their  Hats 
to  him  ?  And  told  her.  She  might  as  well  bid  them  pull  off  their  Shoos, 
as  their  Hats  (Though  afterward  fhe  took  him  in  the  fame  Act,  and  turned

pals  of  his  Hat  to  him.  Though  he  profeffed  Libertr  of  Confcience«  and 
was  fo  lealons  for  it  at  the  firft  Coming  home  of  the  Charter,  that  nothing

And  when  tlus  would  not  take  Effect,  afterwards  when  the  Commiffion- 
ers  were  Two  of  them  at  Providence,  being  in  the  Houfe  of  Thomas  01- 
nej,  Senior  of  the  fame  Town,  Roger  WilHams  propounded  this  Question 
to  them : 

We  have  a  People  here  amongft  us,  which  will  not  Act  in  our  Govern- 
ment with  us ;  what  Course  fhall  we  take  with  them  ? 

Then  George  Cartwright,  one  of  the  Commiffioners  asked  him.  What 
manner  of  Persons  they  were?  EK)  they  Live  quietly  and  peaceably 
amongft  you  ?    This  they  could  not  deny ;  Then  he  made  them  this  Anfwer : 

If  they  can  Govern  themselves,  they  have  no  need  of  your  Government. 

— At  which  they  were  filent. 

This  was  told  by  a  Woman  of  the  fame  Houfe  (where  the  Speech  was 
fpoken)  to  another  Woman,  whom  the  Complaint  with  the  reft  was  made

To  which  (faith  he)  I  will  not  Anfwer,  as  George  Fox  Answered  Henry

concludes.  That  they  were  his  Witneffes,  that  he  had  long  faid  with  David

JNew-England 

Richanl  Scott  seems,  from  the  meagre  records  that  have  come  down  to 
us,  to  have  been  a  quiet  man,  attending  to  his  own  affairs,  and  having  little 
part  in  the  squabbles  that  disturbed  the  "  louing  ffriends  and  neighbours," 
which  so  often  claimed  the  attention  of  Roger  Williams. 

There  is  no  record  known  of  Richard  Scott*s  death,  but  from  collateral 
evidence  he  is  supposed  to  have  died  quite  suddenly  in  the  latter  part  of 
1G80  or  early  in  1681,  leaving  his  affairs  in  considerable  confusion.  Cath- 
arine Scott  died  at  Newport,  R.  I.,  May  2,  1687. 

In  Bodge's  "Soldiers  in  King  Philip's  War,**  the  name  of  Richard 
Scott  appears  in  such  manner  as  to  make  quite  certain  the  presence  of  two 
persons  bearing  that  name.  In  those  accounts,  Richanl  Scott,  cornet,  and 
Richard  Scott,  private,  were  both  paid  for  services,  Aug.  24,  1676.  The 
services  extended  from  December,  1675,  to  Aug.,  1676.  From  these  ac- 
counts it  also  appears  that  John'  Scott  served  from  June,  1675,  to  Aug., 
1676.  Richard'  Scott,  the  younger,  who  is  mentioned,  but  not  named,  in 
his  father*8  letter  to  George  Fox,  no  doubt  perished,  unmarried,  in  tliat  ter- 
rible struggle. 

John'  Scott,  who  survived  King  Philip's  War,  had  married,  about  1661, 
Rebecca  Browne.     He  took  the  oath  of  allegiance  May  80,  1667,  and  was

a  juiyman  April  27,  1668.  He  paid  taxes  of  £1-0-0  in  1671.  He  was 
acquiring  property  and  rapidly  becoming  a  prosperous  citizen  when  he  was 
shot  by  an  Indian,  on  his  own  doorstep,  and  mortally  wounded,  dying  in  a 
few  days,  about  June  1,  1677.  As  both  Richard  and  John  Scott's  names 
are  not  in  '*  A  List  of  the  inhabitants  who  Tarried  in  Providence  during 
Philip's  War — 1675,"  it  appears  probable  that  the  entire  Moshasuck 
quaker  settlement  went  to  Newport  during  that  struggle,  and  that  John 
Scott  and  his  family  returned  too  soon  for  safety. 

The  children  of  John*  and  Rebecca,  all  born  in  Providence,  probably  at 
Moshasuck,  were :

The  son  John^  lived  in  Newport,  with  his  grandmother  and  aunts,  be- 
came a  merchant  and  carpenter,  and  married  Elizabeth,  daughter  of  Ed- 
ward and  P^lizabeth  Wanton.  This  Wanton  family  furnished  five  colonial 
governors,  and  are  known  as  the  ^*  Fighting  Quakers." 

The  widow  Rebecca  remained  in  Providence,  and  took  up  the  tusk  of 
straightening  out  her  late  husband^s  affairs,  a  task  to  which  was  soon  added 
the  tangled  affairs  of  her  father-in-law,  Richard  Scott ;  and  there  she  mar- 
ried, April  15,  1 678,  John  Whipple,  Jr.,  who  was  one  of  the  prominent 
men  in  the  Providence  colony,  and  had  held  nearly  every  office  in  the  gift 
of  the  town,  from  constable  to  town  clerk  and  moderator  of  the  Town 
Meeting.  He  became  blind,  and  several  years  thereafter,  Dec.  15,  1700, 
he  died. 

Jan.  7,  1701,  the  widow  Rebecca  Whipple  presented  a  will  to  the  Town 
Council  for  probate,  and  was  appointed  administrator  of  her  husband's  es- 
tate, but  delayed  the  settlement  for  nearly  a  year,  until  she  and  John 
Whipple's  daughters  and  their  husbands,  on  the  one  part,  forced  a  deed  of 
partition  with  young  John  Whipple,  on  the  other  part. 

The  youn«fest  child  of  John'  and  Rebecca  Scott,  who  was  about  six  years 
old  when  his  father  died,  lived  with  his  mother  in  John  Whipple's  house. 
He  became  Major  Silvanus*  Scott,  and  early  in  life  entered  into  the  poli- 
tics of  the  town,  becoming  nearly  as  prominent  in  his  generation  as  his 
step-father  had  been  before  him.  He  married,  about  1692,  Joanna,  daugh- 
ter of  Joseph  and  Esther  (Ballard)  Jenckes.  His  wife  was  a  sister  of  the 
Governor  Jenckes  so  noted  in  R.  I.  annals  in  the  first  half  of  the  18th 
century,  I  have  not  learped  that  either  Silvanus*  or  Joanna*  Scott  were 
Quakers ;  but  many  of  their  descendants  were,  and  still  are,  of  that  faith. 
Their  great-grandson  Job  Scott  was,  in  the  latter  half  of  the  18th  cen- 
tury, one  of  the  most  noted  Friends'  ministers  then  living. 

The  children  of  Sylvanus*  and  Joanna  were :

The  only  records  of  the  Scott  family  that  appear  oq  the  Providence 
Records  are  the  birth  dates  of  the  children  of  John'  and  Rebecca.  It  is 
probable  that  all  of  the  homes  and  the  records  at  Moshasuck  were  burned 
during  King  Philip's  War.  The  records  at  Providence  barely  escaped. 
The  Friends'  records  at  Newport  and  East  Greenwich  begin  in  1676; 
those  at  Union  Village,  Woonsocket,  in  1719.

Ipswich,  who  died  in  Ipswich,  21  Sept.,  1781),  aged  74  years. 

The  church  records  in  Ipswich  would  lead  one  to  believe  that 
Jabez  married  four  times,  whereas  he  had  but  one  wife.  He  was 
a  cooper,  and  resided  in  Ipswich.

"Washington. — The  following  Is  a  further  communication  from  Rev.  R.  T. 
Love,  M.A.,  Rector  of  Purleigh,  Maldon,  co.  Essex,  England,  whose  interest- 
ing letter  and  an  appeal  for  repairs  upon  whose  church  appeared  ante,  pages 
91  and  97. 

»'  The  marriage  of  Lawrence  Washington,  Rector  of  Purleigh  1642-43,  rests 
on  much  more  substantial  grounds  than  primd  facie  evidence  drawn  from  the 
resignation  of  his  Fellowship,  as  mentioned  in  your  issue  of  January— which 
Fellowship,  I  am  informed  by  the  Master  of  Brasenose  College,  was  resigned  30 
Nov.  1633.  Not  only  are  we  now  in  a  position  to  prove  his  marriage,  which  I  am 
inclined  to  suggest  took  place  the  day  of  the  resignation,  but  also  the  name  of 
his  wife,  and  his  relationship  as  father  of  the  first  Washlngtons  who  settled 
in  Virginia. 

First,  his  marriage  is  placed  beyond  doubt  by  the  appearance  of  Mrs.  Wash- 
ington before  Commissioners  on  Plundered  Ministers  at  Chehiisford,  in  1649, 
when  a  "  fflth  part  of  Purleigh"  was  '*  ordered  to  tlie  plnndered  Kector's  wife." 
(The  word  "plundered"  (deprived)  was  llrst  used  in  England  1042.  Skeat's 
Etymological  IMctionary,  The  Clarendon  Press,  Oxford.) 

Secondly,  the  Rector  of  Purleigh's  wife  is  proved  to  be  Mrs.  Amphillis  Wash- 
ingt^jii,  whose  children  benefited  under  the  will  of  Mr.  Andrew  Knowling  of 
Tring,  1649-50.  In  addition  to  tlie  circumstantial  evidence  collected  by  Mr. 
Waters,  in  his  "  Ancestry  of  VVti8]iin«^ton,"  reprinted  from  the  Kkiustku, 
proof  po>ilive  may  be  found  in  The  Nation,  Dec.  22,  181)2,  .and  ^ept.  21,  1899, 
based  on  the  axiom  tliat  ♦  wlien  one's  brother  has  the  same  name  as  one's  niece's 
father,  these  must  be  one  and  tl)e  same  person.'  Mrs.  Me  wee's  brother  was 
Lawrence  Waslilngton,  Rector  of  Purleiijjh;  and  lier  niece's  father  was  Law- 
rence Washington,  husband  of  Anipliillis  Waslungton.  Tlierefore,  the  Rector 
of  Purleigh  was  the  liusband  of  Mrs.  Anipldllis  Washington. 

Thirdl}',  having  identiiied  the  Rector  of  Purliegh  as  the  husi)and  of  Mrs. 
Amphillis  Washington,  tlie  next  step  is  to  prove  that  her  children  were  the 
Virginian  settlers.  This  proof  is  obtained  by  couiparisou  i)eL\veen  the  wills 
of  tnese  emigrants  on  the  one  hand,  and  the  names,  on  the  otlier  hand,  of  the 
chihlren  of  Mrs.  Amphillis  Washington,  as  contained  in  the  very  iniportant  will 
of  Mr.  Andrew  Knowling.  Hy  this  comparison  it  is  shown  that  the  three  set- 
tlers, John,  Lawrence,  and  Martha,  had  two  sisters,  Elizabeth  and  Margaret; 
and  these  live  names  correspond  with  tin;  names  of  Mrs.  Amphillis  Washing- 
ton's chihlren  in  the  above  mentioned  will.  Moreover,  tlie  use  of  the  words 
'  eldest'  and  •  other,'  in  the  American  wills,  when  compared  with  the  baptismal 
entries  in  Kngland,  establishes  the  order  of  birth  to  be  the  same  in  both  cases. 
It  is  therefore  absolutely  certain  that  John,  the  ehlest  of  these  settlers,  found 
in  V'irgiida  1659,  and  whose  will  is  authenticated  by  endorsement  in  tlie  hand- 
writing of  Gen.  George  Washington,  was  the  eldest  son  of  Mrs.  Amphillis 
Washington  and  of  her  husband,  the  Rector  of  Purleigh.

The  details  of  this  evidence  have  been  pat  at  length  in  a  *  Snmmary  of  Evi- 
dence,' which  the  present  Rector  has  drawn  up  from  the  writings  on  this  sub- 
ject ;  and  which  he  proposes  to  put  into  print,  should  he  find  any  encouragement 
on  the  part  of  Americans." 

Few  persons  of  the  present  day  are  aware  how  general  was  piracy  two  cen- 
turies ago.  The  following  extract  from  **  The  Boston  News-Letter,"  August 
21, 1721,  shows  that  in  early  times  pirate  ships,  carrying  many  guns  and  heavily 
manned,  sailed  the  high  seas  and  pursued  their  unlawful  calling.  The  '*  Mary  *' 
was  taken  somewhere  in  the  Sargasso  Sea,  off  the  coast  of  Africa.

BuRRELL.— In  the  Rkoistbr,  vol.  59,  page  352,  there  is  a  mistake  in  the  line 
of  descent  of  Sergt.  John  Burrell,  who  was  a  great-grandson,  not  grandson,  of 
John  Burrell  the  emigrant.    The  line  is  as  follows : 

John^  Burrell  arrived  in  Weymouth,  Mass.,  in  1639;  married  Rebekah , 

and  had  these  three  (if  not  more)  children :  John,^  b.  1658,  d.  1731 ;  Thomas, 
b.  1659 ;  Ephraimy  b.  1664. 

John*  Burrell  (John*)  married,  June  26,  1688,  Mercy*  Alden  (Joseph,*  John* 
of  the  **  Mayflower"),  and  had:  Elizabeth,^  b.  1689;  Thomas,  b.  1692;  Capt, 
John,  b.  1694. 

Capt.  John*  Burrell  (John,*  John*),  who  moved  to  Abington  in  1741,  married, 
Jan.  8, 1717,  Mary*  Humphrey  (Joseph,* Thomas,' John*)  of  Hingham,  and  had : 
Sergt.  John*  b.  Sept.  24,  1719;  Joseph;  Abraham,  b.  1721;  Humphrie,  b.  1728, 
d.  at  Lake  George,  1756;  Thomas;  Mary. 

Sergt.  John*  Burrell  (John,*  John,*  John*)  married  Ann*  Vinton  (Thomas,* 
John,*  John*),  and  had :  Manj,  b.  Feb.  22,  1741 ;  Ann,  b.  Mar.  17,  1743;  ElUta- 
beth,  b.  Aug.  7,  1745;  Miriam,  b.  Mar.  17,  1749;  John,  b.  Oct.  5,  1752;  Beta,  b.

Stimpson.— In  the  Rkgister,  vol.  59,  page  368,  it  is  stated  that  [19]  John* 
Stimpson  (John,*  John,*  Andrew,*  Andrew*)  married  Mary,  daughter  of  Nathan- 
iel and  Mary  (Kemball)  Harrington,  but  this  is  an  error,  for  in  1784  she  was  the 
wife  of  David  Whitney,  as  shown  in  the  will  of  Nathaniel  Harrington,  in  Mid- 
dlesex Co.  Probate,  flic  7316.  The  oldest  child  of  Daniel  Whitney  was  yarned 
Mary  Kimball. 

John*  Stimpson  probably  married  Mary,  daughter  of  Edward  and  Anna  (Bul- 
lard)  Harrington  of  Watertown,  who,  according  to  Bond,  was  born  Aug.  23, 
1752,  for  in  the  division  of  Edward  Harriu^jton's  estate,  in  1794,  Middlesex 
Co.  Probate,  file  7280,  one  share  was  allotted  to  ••the  heirs  of  Mary  Stimson,

Queries. 

A  Genealogical  Puzzle.— Judge  Sewall,  in  his  Diary,  vol.  1,  p.  215,  under 
date.  May  30,  1688,  says:  ••Mr.  Joseph  Eliot  here,  says  the  two  days  where- 
in he  burled  his  Wife  and  Son,  were  the  best  that  ever  he  had  in  the  world." 
The  editors,  in  a  foot-note,  facetiously  add,  ••  The  kindest  construction  should 
be  put  upon  this  remark  of  the  bereaved  husband  and  father." 

The  context  shows  that  Mr.  Joseph  Eliot  was  the  Rev.  Joseph  Eliot,  son  of 
the  **  Apostle,"  who  was  the  minister  at  Guilford,  Conn.  But  there  are  con- 
fusing;: facts.  lie  had  two  wives.  The  first,  Sarah  Brenton,  died  prior  to  1685, 
leaving  four  dau*;hters.  The  second  wife,  Mary  Wyllys,  died  In  1729,  thirty- 
five  years  after  the  death  of  her  husband.  There  were  two  sons,  born  to  this 
second  marriage,  who  lived  many  years  after  the  death  of  their  father. 

Could  the  wellnlgh  infallible  Judge  have  made  a  mistake  in  attributing  this 
remark  to  the  son  Joseph,  instead  of  his  father,  the  *•  Apostle,"  whose  wife.

Historical  Intellioenor. 

English  Research.— The  Committee  on  English  Research,  of  the  New  Eng- 
land Historic  Genealogical  Society,  begs  to  call  attention  to  the  desirability 
of  reviving  investigation  concerning  the  English  ancestry  of  the  pioneers  of 
New  England.  From  1888  to  1899,  former  Committees  secured  funds  by  which 
valuable  researches  among  the  wills  of  the  Prerogative  Court  of  Canterbury  in 
London  were  carried  on  by  Henry  F.  Waters,  Esq.,  the  results  of  which  were 
published  in  the  Register,  giving  clues  which  lead  to  determining  the  ancestry 
of  many  of  the  early  settlers  of  New  England ;  but  since  Mr.  Waters's  work 
was  relinquished,  comparatively  little  has  been  accomplished  by  the  Society  in 
that  direction. 

The  Committee  now  solicits  funds  for  continuing  research  in  England,  on 
the  ancestry  of  the  early  New  England  colonists,  the  results  to  appear  in  the 
Kegistkr,  and  it  would  be  glad  to  receive  suggestions  and  information  on  this 
subject. 

Clues,  not  generally  known,  as  to  the  origin  of  several  early  emigrants,  have 
come  into  the  Committee's  hands,  and  the  Secretary  of  the  Committee  will  be 
glad  to  give  information  to  anyone  who  may  desire  to  make  investigations.

Wood  Genealogy.— Clay  W.  Holmes,.  Elmira,  N.  Y.,  compiler  of  the  gene- 
alogy of  the  Descendants  of  William  Wood  of  Concord,  Mass.,  1638,  published 
in  1900,  8vo,  pp.  865,  will  be  glad  to  present  to  any  public  library  or  historical 
society  making  a  specialty  of  genealogical  publications,  which  is  not  already 
supplied  with  the  book,  a  complimentary  copy  if  the  transportation  charges 
will  be  paid. 


Genealogies  in  Preparation.— Persons  of  the  several  names  are  advised  to 
furnish  the  compilers  of  these  genealogies  with  records  of  their  own  families 
and  other  information  which  they  think  may  be  useful.  We  would  suggest  that 
all  facts  of  interest  illustrating  family  history  or  character  be  communicated, 
especially  service  under  the  U.  S.  Government,  the  holding  of  other  offices, 
graduation  from  college  or  professional  schools,  occupation,  with  places  and 
dates  of  birth,  marriage,  residence,  and  death.  When  there  are  more  than  one 
Christian  name,  they  should  all  be  given  in  full  if  possible.  No  initials  should 
be  used  when  the  full  name  is  known. 

I,€«.— Joseph  L.  Edmiston,  1129  W.  17th  St.,  Los  Angeles,  Cal.,  Is  collecting 
material  for  a  genealogical  record  of  the  descendants- of  Dea.  Benjamin  Lee  of 
Manchester,  Mass.,  who  died  in  1757,  and  desires  correspondence  with  repre- 
sentatives of  the  various  branches.

Pike.—k  collection  of  notes  from  English  archives,  relating  to  the  Pike 
family,  is  now  being  formed,  with  the  assistance  of  an  experienced  and  reliable 
record-searcher  in  London,  England.  The  latter  has  already  supplied  several 
interesting  notes  on  this  subject.  The  material  consists  of  unpublished  data 
obtained  from  the  Public  Record  Office,  British  Museum,  etc.  These  original 
gleanings  will  be  of  considerable  interest  to  many  other  families,  and  will 
probably  be  published.  For  particulars,  address  Eugene  F.  McPike,  1  Park

embrace  a  wide  scope,  but  rather  to  prepare  concise  bioerraphical  and  genea-

particularly  valuable  to  a  few  who  trace  their  ancestry  to  the  fountain  sources

addition  to  the  immediate  line  which  came  to  America  in  1854.

We  notice  the  usual  careful  attention  to  detail  which  is  characteristic  of  Mr.

of  documents  and  signatures,  with  many  portraits  and  coats-of  arms,  are  scat-

student  and  linguist,  and  displayed  an  original  and  independent  mind.  The

of  the  social,  political,  and  religions  aspects  of  the  community  in  which  he

In  the  Introduction  it  is  stated  that  Tryphena  Ely  White  *'  received  her  birth  " 
in  West  Springfield,  Mass.,  March  26,  1784.  It  was  in  the  town  of  Camillus,

tled there  late  in  life.  In  1813  she  married  Frederik  Kellogg,  and  died  In  1816. 
The  journal,  which  is  of  exceeding  simplicity,  relates  to  the  most  common-

This  deeply  interesting  volume  portrays  life  in  Roxbury,  Mass.,  and   its 
nelirliborhood  under  Puritan  domination  with  truth  and  vividness.    The  biog- 
raphy of  Williams  up  to  the  time  he  settled  In  Deerfleld  Is  the  slender  thread 
which  winds  In  and  out  among  baptisms,  funerals,  executions,  fasts,  wars, 
lectures,  sports,  collegiate  activities,  and  a  multitude  of  other  things.    The 
style  of  the  book  is  unpretentious  and  clear,  and  the  opinions  expressed  seem 
to  be  void  of  prejudice.

Tables  and  charts  show  the  proportionate  Inflneuce  which  each  ancestor  exerts 
on  descendants,  according  to  his  remoteness.  The  origin  and  descent  of  ex- 
ceptional ability.  Insanity,  extraordinary  perversities,  degenerations,  or  even 
altruistic  traits,  are  shown  on  various  charts  and  discussed  at  length.  Geneal-

(including  all  maternal  branches),  not  to  be  found  In  any  other  book.        ♦♦♦

An  unusual  opportunity  is  here  afforded  to  study  the  unity  of  our  colonial 
history,  and  contrast  its  dlTersifled  development  from  Massachusetts  to  Vir- 
ginia, during  the  formative  period  from  1600  to  1660.  New  Netherlands  and 
New  France  are  also  included,  and  maps,  contemporaneous  and  otherwise,  are 
lavishly  u^«ed,  as  well  as  innumerable  illustrations,  to  give  a  clear-cut,  accurate 
and  readable  account  of  the  United  States  during  those  years.  The  manner  of 
placing  dates  and  leading  topics  in  the  broad  margins  is  admirable,  and  the  bio- 
graphical appendix  will  be  found  useful  in  making  further  investigations. 
The  frontispiece  of  this  volume  is  a  portrait  of  John  Winthrop,  in  color,  and 
the  other  numerous  portraits  and  illustrations  are  made  from  copper  etchings. 
Owing  to  the  increase  of  material,  the  work  is  extended  to  fifteen  volumes,  in- 
stead of  twelve,  without  additional  cost  to  the  original  subscribers,    a.  l.  w.

Mr.  Hosmer  in  his  Introduction  says  that  the  sources  of  his  compilation  are

pies the  greater  part  of  the  book,  is  of  the  most  general  interest  on  account  of 
the  genealogical  information  it  contains.  The  volume  is  indexed*  and  is  well 
printed  and  bound.    The  map  shows  the  location  of  the  first  settlers.

purticnlar  attention  has  been  paid  to  tlie  part  played  by  the  merchants  of  New- 
bnryport  in  supplying  clothing  and  military  stores  to  the  patrh)t  army  in  the 
Revolution,  and  in  fitting  oat  privateers.  As  to  the  later  history  of  the  town, 
space  did  not  permit  an  adequate  treatment,  on  which  account  biographical 
sketches  have  been  omitted.  The  appendix  contains  lists  of  collectors  of  the 
port,  representatives,  town  and  city  clerics,  and  treasurers.  The  index  occupies 
more  than  seventy  pages.  The  quality  of  the  paper  used  does  not  comport  with 
the  general  excellence  of  the  work.

The  first  part  of  this  series  was  noticed  in  the  Register  for  April,  1902.    In 
the  introduction  to  that  publication,  the  compiler  says  that  her  object  is  **  to 
repeople,  with  Wykes  and  their  successors,  some  of  the  old  houses    .     .     . 
that  awakened  in  her  especial  interest,"  adding  that  she  **  had  not  the  heart  to 
throw  overboard  such  bits  of  information  concerning  other  inhabitants  as  hap- 
pened to  be  caught  in  its  meshes."    It  is  evident  that  the  same  aim  has  been  fol- 
lowed in  the  parts  of  the  work  which  have  since  appeared,  the  Wykes  by  no 
means  receiving  exclusive  attention.

The  purpose  for  which  this  booic  was  written  has  been  admirably  accom- 
plished. Its  design  is  to  show  that  the  beneficent  results  of  Qnalier  policy  were 
the  inevitable  consequences  of  the  application  of  uncompromising  moral  princi- 
ple in  the  transactions  of  government.  From  the  first  chapter,  *•  A  govern- 
ment of  Idealists,"  to  the  last,  '♦  The  Basis  of  Quaker  Morality,**  this  truth  is 
viviHly  Illustrated.  In  the  two  concluding  chapters,  the  distinctly  Quaker 
sentiments  of  the  author  are  most  plainly,  and  by  no  means  offensively,  obvious. 
The  whole  work,  which  chiefly  relates  to  the  early  history  of  Pennsylvania, 
shows  unmistakably  that  it  is  the  production  of  a  Friend.

DEATHS. 


William  Phinbas  Upham,  who  died  in 
Newton viilc,  Nov.  23,  1906,  was  one  of 
the  bcMt- known  antiquarians  in  New 
England.  He  was  the  son  of  Kev. 
Charles  W.  Upham  of  Salem,  author 
of  the  "  History  of  the  Salem  Witch- 
craft,*' and  his  mother  was  a  sister  of 
Oliver  Wendell  Holmes.  Mr.  Upham 
was  a  graduate  of  Harvard  College, 
class  of  1850,  and  was  a  life  member 
of  the  American  HiHtorical  Associa- 
tion, and  of  the  Massachusetts  Histori- 
cal Society.  For  many  years  he  was 
engaged  iu  restoring,  classifying  and 
indexing  the  manuscript  records  of  Es- 
sex County  and  of  Suffolk  County, 
through  which  work,  together  with  his 
own  independent  researches,  he  became 
an  authority  on  the  early  history  of  these 
counties.  He  was  the  author  of  numer- 
ous pamphlets  on  antiquarian  subjects, 
and  at  the  time  of  his  death  had  nearly 


completed,  in  collaboration  with  Mr. 
John  Noble,  clerk  of  the  Supreme  Court 
of  Massachusetts,  an  edition  of  *•  Rec- 
ords of  the  Court  of  Assistants  of 
Massachusetts  Bay,"  never  before  pub- 
lished. His  exhaustive  knowledge  of 
the  systems  of  shorthand  in  use  dur- 
ing the  Colonial  period  enabled  him  to 
decipher  manuscripts  that  must  other- 
wise remained  unintelligible,  a  notable 
achievement  being  his  recent  recovery 
of  the  phonetic  alphabet  employed  by 
Jonathan  Edwards.  He  invented  a 
••  rational "  system  of  shorthand,  which 
is  extensively  used  in  England.  He 
was  recently  elected  to  membership  in 
the  Harvard  Chapter  of  the  Phi  Beta 
Kappa  Society,  in  recognition  of  his 
antiquarian  scholarship.  Mr.  Upham 
was  a  member  of  the  Essex  bar.  He 
leaves  a  widow  and  two  daughters. —

HISTORICAL  AND  GENEALOGICAL 
REGISTER. 


JULY,  1906. 


ROBERT  CHARLES  WINTHROP,  JR.,  A.M. 

By  HxNBT  Hbbbbbt  Edes,  Esq. 

KoBERT  Charles  Winthrop,  the  younger  of  that  name,  was 
bom  in  his  father's  house,  No.  7  Tremont  Place,  Boston,  on  the  7th 
of  December,  1834,  the  elder  son  of  Robert  Charles  and  Eliza 
Cabot  (Blanchard)  Winthrop.  Descended  from  forebears  who  for 
many  generations  had  occupied  a  distinguished  place  in  society  and 
in  all  branches  of  the  public  service,  he  never  forgot  the  admonition 
of  Young  that — 

"  They  that  on  glorious  ancestors  enlarge 
Produce  their  debt,  instead  of  their  discharge." 

Neither  should  his  biographer  fail  to  remember  that  ^no  man  is 
wholly  accounted  for,  or  known  as  well  as  he  can 'be,  who  is  studied 
apart  from  the  genealogical  tree  on  which  he  grew." 

The  line  of  Mr.  Winthrop's  descent  from  Adam*  Winthrop,  of 
Lavenham,  in  the  county  of  Suffolk,  England,  who  was  living  in 
1498,  was  through  Adam'  (1498-1562),  of  Groton  Manor,  Suffolk, 
Master  of  the  Cloth  workers  Company  of  London;  Adam'  (1548- 
1623),  of  Groton  Manor,  a  lawyer  and  county  magistrate;  John* 
(1587-1649),  of  Groton  Manor,  afterward  Governor  of  the  Colony 
of  the  Massachusetts  Bay,  and  the  founder  of  Boston  in  New  Eng- 
land; John,  Jr.*  (1605-1676),  of  Groton  Manor,  afterward  of 
Ipswich,  Massachusetts,  and  New  London,  Connecticut,  Fellow  of 
the  Royal  Society  of  London,  and  Governor  of  the  Colony  of  Con- 
necticut; Wait  Still*  (1642-1717),  of  Boston,  Commissioner  of 
the  United  Colonies  of  New  England,  Major-General  of  the  Colony, 
and  Executive  Councillor  and  Chief- Justice  of  the  Province  of  the 
Massachusetts  Bay;  John'  (1681-1747),  of  Boston,  afterward 
of  New  London,  Connecticut,  a  graduate  of  Harvard  College  in 
the  Class  of  1700,  Fellow  of  the  Royal  Society,  and  the  plaintiff  in 
the  cause  celcbre  of  Winthrop  v.  Lechmere,  which  was  an  appeal 
to  the  Privy  Council  from  the  decision  of  the  Connecticut  Courts 
involving  the  English  law  of  primogeniture;  John  Still*  (1720- 
1776),  of  Boston,  afterward  of  New  London,  Connecticut,  agradu-

ate  of  Yale  College  in  the  Class  of  1737  ;  Thomas  Lindall,*  LL.D. 
(1760-1841),  of  New  London  and  later  of  Boston,  a  graduate  of 
Harvard  in  the  Class  of  1780,  and  an  Overseer  of  tfie  College 
(1828-1841),  member  of  the  American  Philosophical  Society, 
Treasurer  of  the  American  Academy  of  Arts  and  Sciences,  Presi- 
dent of  the  Massachusetts  Historical  Society  and  of  the  American 
Antiquarian  Society,  Fellow  of  the  Royal  Society  of  Northern  An- 
tiquaries and  of  other  learned  bodies  in  Europe,  and  from  1826 
till  1833  Lieutenant-Governor  of  Massachusetts;  and  Robert 
Charles,*"  LL.D.  (1809-1894),  of  Boston,  a  graduate  of  Har- 
vard  in  the  Class  of  1828,  President  of  the  Alumni  Association, 
and  an  Overseer  of  the  College  (1852-1856),  in  the  Corporation  of 
which  he  had  twice  refused  a  seat,  member  of  the  American  Philo- 
sophical Society,  American  Academy  of  Arts  and  Sciences,  Society 
of  Antiquaries  of  London,  and  other  learned  societies  abroad.  Presi- 
dent of  the  Massachusetts  Historical  Society,  Speaker  of  the  Massa- 
chusetts House  of  Representatives  and  of  the  Thirtieth  Congress, 
and  a  Senator  of  the  United  States  from  Massachusetts,  succeeding 
Daniel  Webster. 

Mr.  Winthrop's  mother  was  bom  in  Boston  on  the  27th  of  May, 
1809.  She  was  the  daughter  of  Francis  Blanchard,  Esq.,  of  Wen- 
ham,  Massachusetts,  and  later  of  Boston,  a  graduate  of  Harvard  in 
the  remarkable  Class  of  1802,  who  studied  law  with  Judge  Charles 
Jackson  and  became  his  law  partner  before  his  appointment  to  the 
Bench  of  the  Supreme  Judicial  Court  in  1813,  the  year  in  which 
Mr.  Blanchard  died  on  the  26th  of  June.  On  the  29th  of  August, 
1808,  he  had  married  his  second  cousin,  Mary  Ann  Cabot,  daugh- 
ter of  Francis  and  Ann  (Clarke)  Cabot  and  widow  of  Nathaniel 
Cabot  Lee  of  Salem,  who  died  on  the  25th  of  July,  1809,  soon 
after  the  birth  of  her  daughter,  who,  in  November,  1814,  was  taken 
into  the  family  of  her  father's  uncle,  Samuel  Pickering  Gardner, 
where  she  remained  until  her  marriage  to  Robert  Charles  Winthrop 
on  the  12th  of  March,  1832.  She  died  on  the  14th  of  June,  1842, 
leaving  three  children,  of  whom  the  eldest  is  the  subject  of  this 
notice. 

More  might  be  said  of  those  distinguished  ancestors  of  Mr.  Win- 
throp who  bore  the  names  of  Dudley,  Bowdoin,  and  Temple,  to 
name  no  others,  but  enough  has  already  been  told  to  show  the  en- 
vironment in  which  he  was  bom  and  bred  and  to  account  for  his 
inheritance  of  abilities  of  a  high  order. 

Owing  to  the  early  death  of  his  mother  and  the  absence  of  his 
father  in  Washington  in  the  public  service,  much  of  Mr.  Winthrop's 
boyhood  was  spent  with  his  kinsfolk  in  Salem  and  elsewhere.  One 
of  his  cousins  recently  recalled  the  picture  of  young  Winthrop 
lying  upon  the  floor  of  his  uncle's  library  devouring  Scott's  novels 
and  other  of  the  best  English  literature  of  that  day,  utterly  oblivious 
of  all  that  was  passing  around  him. 


1906.]  Bobert  Charles  Winthrop,  Jr.  225 

Mr.  Winthrop  received  his  early  education  in  the-  private  school 
of  Mr.  John  Adam  Weiese,*  in  Roxbury,  in  whose  establishment 
he  was  a  boarding  pupil  from  1840  to  1847,  when  he  went  abroad 
with  his  father.  Of  this,  their  first,  visit  to  Europe,  the  son  thus 
speaks  in  his  Memoir  of  his  father : 

''  He  had  friends  and  relatiyes  both  in  England  and  France,  and  he  took 
with  him  flattering  letters  of  introduction  from  Mr.  Webster  and  Mr. 
Everett,  which  made  his  first  experience  of  London  society  an  exception- 
ally agreeable  one.  In  a  fragment  of  autobiography  privately  printed  by 
him  not  long  before  his  death  and  now  to  be  found  in  many  public 
libraries,  he  gave  some  account  of  his  intercourse  with  European  celebri- 
ties at  different  periods,  and  it  need  only  be  mentioned  here  that  among 
the  persons  of  distinction  of  whom  he  was  privileged  to  see  a  good  deal  in 

1847  were  the  Duke  of  Wellington,  Sir  Robert  Peel,  the  poet  Rogers,  the 
historians  Thiers,  Mignet,  Milman,  Thirlwall  and  Hallam,  Archbishop 
Whately,  Bishops  Wilberforce  and  Blomfield,  Lord  Landsdowne  (then 
President  of  the  Council),  Lords  Aberdeen  and  Stanley  (both  afterward 
prime  ministers),  Prince  Louis  Napoleon  (then  in  exile  in  London),  and 
King  Louis  Philippe,  who  twice  received  Mr.  Winthrop  informally  at 
Neuilly"  (page  64). 

Returning  home  in  the  autumn  of  1847  from  an  experience  which 
cannot  have  failed  to  make  a  lasting  impression  upon  his  youthful 
mind,  young  Winthrop,  then  well  advanced  in  his  studies,  entered 
the  Boston  Public  Latin  School,  where  his  father  and  grandfather 
had  been  prepared  for  college,  as  well  as  seven  other  members  of 
his  family,  Professor  John  Winthrop,  of  the  Class  of  1721,  who 
graduated  at  Harvard  College  in  1732,  having  been  the  first.     In 

1848  he  lefl  the  School,  where  the  course  was  then  five  years,  and 
entered  Phillips  Academy,  Andover,  where  he  remained  till  1850, 
when  he  entered  Harvard,  from  which  he  graduated  in  1854. 

Of  Mr.  Winthrop's  college  life,  the  following  extracts  from  let- 
ters of  a  few  of  his  classmates  and  contemporaries  not  classmates 
will  furnish  an  interesting  glimpse : 

I. 

For  more  than  two  years  we  were  at  the  same  club  table  at  Mrs.  Guth- 
rie*s  in  Church  Street,  and  we  were  in  the  Hasty  Pudding  and  Porcellian 
Clubs  together.  .  .  .  Winthrop's  rooms  were  at  Mrs.  Guthrie's,  and 
Payson  Perrin  Ellis,  who  had  rooms  in  the  same  house,  Charies  Thorndike, 
Theodore  Lyman  and  I  were  quite  intimate  with  him.     His  other  friends

226  llobert  Charles  Winthropy  Jr.  [July, 

at  that  time,  who  continued  to  appreciate  him  while  they  lived,  were  John 
Quiucy  Adams,  Theodore  Chase,  George  B.  Chase,  Langdon  Erring, 
William  Frick,  Jr.,  John  C.  Bancroft,  William  S.  Haseltine,  James  Savage, 
Charles  Russell  Lowell,  William  Thomdike,  and  S.  Parknian  Blake ;  and 
Charles  Francis  Adams,  Dr.  Hall  Curtis,  George  Putnam,  Robert  H.  Ren- 
shaw.  Dr.  B.  Joy  Jeffries,  and  Horace  H.  Fumess  are  among  the  living 
who  cared  for  him. 

Winthrop  was  popular  with  his  class ;  his  abilities  were  recognized  and 
he  was  made  Class  Orator.  lie  had  plenty  of  brains,  but  was  more  dis- 
posed to  use  them  in  reading  than  in  studying  what  did  not  interest  him. 
....  With  nlore  work  [he]  could  have  been  celebrated  as  a  lawyer  or  poli- 
tician in  the  best  sense,  but  he  preferred  to  read,,  work  in  his  library  or 
travel  and  lead  the  life  of  a  cultivated  gentleman.  He  was  fond  of  detail, 
accurate  and  methodical,  and  would  have  made  a  good  business  man  had 
he  been  obliged  to  turn  his  attention  in  that  direction.  He  was  indolent 
about  exercise.  With  a  large  frame  he  might,  as  his  classmate  Dr.  Wind- 
ship,  the  well  known  strong  man,  told  him,  have  become  an  athlete, 
though  the  fashion  did  not  then  point  in  that  direction  for  fame.  .  .  .  He 
was  most  loyal  to  his  old  friends  and  took  a  good  deal  of  pains  to  see  them. 

In  college  he  made  do  mark  as  a  student,  although  always  a  reader,  and 
endowed  with  an  extraordinary  memory  for  what  he  read.  Here,  as  in 
after  life,  his  bookish  interests  were  mainly  in  history,  especially  Ameri- 
can history.  He  was,  however,  indifferent  to  the  way  in  which  history, 
and  indeed  most  other  things,  were  then  taught  at  Harvard ;  and  when 
called  up  at  recitation  he  was  apt  to  say  nothing  or  to  say  "  not  prepared.'^ 
Once,  however,  the  story  goes,  after  a  long  series  of  these  "  not  prepareds  " 
he  was  called  up  for  examination  in  the  presence  of  the  Visiting  Commit- 
tee, and  at  once  gave  a  fluent  talk  upon  the  point  in  question  for  almost 
five  minutes,  and  until  told  he  need  go  no  further. 

His  main  distinction  in  the  Class  lay  in  his  inherited  faculty  as  a  presid- 
ing officer.  He  was  at  the  head  of  the  two  great  clubs,  the  Porcellian  and 
the  Hasty  Pudding,*  and  was  usually  selected  to  preside  at  any  Class  elec- 
tion or  meeting.  He  belonged  to  neither  of  the  Greek  letter  societies,  and 
in  their  contests  in  the  Hasty  Pudding  Club  he,  as  President,  sometimes 
maintained  the  balance  of  power  in  a  salutary,  if,  perhaps,  somewhat  des- 
potic, way. 

ni. 

In  college  Winthrop  lived  rather  apart.  He  appeared  to  wholly  neg- 
lect his  studies,  and  except  by  a  small  circle  of  intimates  he  was  very 
little  known.  In  the  last  two  years  of  his  college  course,  however,  he  ac- 
quired a  reputation  as  an  admirable  presiding  officer  and  amateur  actor  in 
the  Hasty  Pudding  Club,  and  he  was  always  selected,  as  a  matter  of 
course,  to  preside  at  all  festivities  of  the  Class,  both  before  and  after  grad- 
uation. He  was  outside  of  the  bitter  hostilities  of  the  Class  factions  and 
was  chosen  Class  Orator  by  a  compromise  as  one  whom  neither  faction  ob- 
jected to.  .  .  .  On  our  twenty-fifth  anniversary  [24  June,  1879]  he  gave 
[at  Young's]  a  dinner  to  the  Class  at  which  he  presided  with  the  same  fe- 
licity and  charm  which  had  characterized  liim  in  college  days. 

•  Mr.  Winthrop  wai  also  a  member  of  the  Institute  of  1770.

IV. 

He  was  certainly  a  man  of  cultivation  and  literary  distinction.  ...  I 
remember  thinking  his  oration  witty,  able,  and  worthy  of  his  reputation. 

V. 

He  was  popular  with  his  Class  but  not  with  the  Faculty.  .  .  .  Kathar- 
ine Winthrop  whom  he  defended  was  my  ancestor,  and  he  sent  me  his 
''  Defence  "  of  her.  The  spirit  is  the  same  he  had  in  college  days  versus 
the  Faculty. 

VI. 

His  Oration  was  rather  more  jocular  and  sarcastic,  but  at  the  same  time 
more  interesting,  than  such  performances  are  generally  apt  to  be.  On  the 
evening,  I  think  it  must  have  been,  of  Class  Day,  there  was  a  supper  in 
Mr.  Winthrop's  room,  the  memory  of  which  long  lasted  in  college  ;  it  has 
perhaps  not  yet  entirely  faded  away. 

VII. 

It  was  his  utter  lack  of  ambition  which  caused  his  failure  to  take  any 
rank,  but  all  his  classmates  knew  the  power  and  force  that  was  in  him,  (f 
he  could  but  be  induced  to  put  them  forth.  .  .  .  Altliough  he  had  no  col- 
lege rank,  which  is  never  an  ultimate  criterion,  so  deeply  had  his  talents 
and  ability  impressed  themselves  upon  his  classmates  that  he  was  elected, 
almost  without  opposition,  their  Class  Orator. 

It  was  through  no  direct  fault  of  his  own  that  his  degree  was  taken 
away  from  him.  His  offense  in  the  eyes  of  the  Fstculty  was  that  he  had 
provided  means  for  an  entertainment  on  the  evening  of  Class  Day  a  lit- 
tle too  lavish  for  the  occasion.  .  .  .  The  supper  was  given  in  one  of  the 
rooms  of  Holworthy,  on  the  ground  floor,  and  its  distinguishing  feature 
was  that  it  was  open  to  all  the  world  and  not  restricted  to  any  Class.  The 
Faculty,  I  believe,  looked  upon  it  as  an  act  of  bravado  on  Winthrop*s 
part.  No  thought  of  this,  I  am  sure,  entered  Winthrop*s  mind.  It  was 
merely  done  in  the  exuberance  of  his  gratitude  to  his  classmates  for  hav- 
ing elected  him  their  Orator, — an  election  which,  it  was  said,  keenly  grati- 
fied his  father. 

The  withholding  of  Mr.  Winthrop's  first  degree  was  only  tempo- 
rary, and  it  was  conferred  at  the  next  Commencement,  in  1855. 
He  received  his  Master's  degree  in  1858. 

After  Mr.  Winthrop's  death,  one  of  his  classmates  prepared  for 
the  College  Class  Book  a  brief  sketch  from  which  the  following  ex- 
tracts are  taken : 

Robert  C.  Winthrop,  Jr.,  would  have  been  more  at  place  in  Cambridge 
after  the  College  became  a  liberal  University. 

Placed  so  that  he  was  free  to  follow  the  bent  of  his  mind  and  the  inter- 
ests surrounding  his  position,  he  developed  his  critical  acumen  and  became 
a  very  interested  and  interesting  member  of  the  genealogical  and  histori- 
cal societies  of  his  State  and  City. 

Those  of  his  Class  who  knew  him  well  and  saw  him  often,  could  not  but 
have  been  surprised  in  later  years,  at  the  recital  of  his  pleasant  Cambridge 
reminiscences,  called  up  by  talk  of  the  past. 

If  he  and  the  Faculty  never  exactly  agreed,  he  and  his  classmates  always 
did,  as  shown  by  the  prominence  they  accorded  him  so  readily.  The  for- 
mer seemed  never  quite  to  understand  him,  the  latter  did  more  loyally. 


228  Bobert  Charles  Winthrapj  Jr.  [July, 

After  graduation,  Mr.  Winthrop  spent  a  year  in  the  BLarvard 
Law  School  under  Profeasors  Joel  Parker  and  Theophilus  Parsons, 
and  then  entered  the  law  office  of  Mr.  Leverett  Saltonstall.  He 
was  admitted  to  the  Suffolk  Bar  in  1857,  but  never  practised. 

On  the  15th  of  October,  1857,  Mr.  Winthrop  was  married,  in 
Boston,  to  Frances  Pickering  Adams,  youngest  daughter  of  Mr. 
Benjamin  Adams,  and  immediately  sailed  for  Europe.  Till  Mrs. 
Winthrop's  death,  their  time  was  passed  in  travelling,  the  winters 
being  divided  between  the  south  of  France,  Malta,  and  Italy, 
while  the  summers  were  devoted  to  Paris,  England,  and  Germany. 
Mrs.  Winthrop  died,  childless,  in  Rome  on  the  23d  of  April,  1860, 
at  the  age  of  twenty-four.  Early  in  the  following  summer  Mr. 
Winthrop  returned  to  America,  and  from  that  time  till  1866  he 
made  frequent  short  trips  to  Europe,  generally  confining  his  travels 
to  France  and  England.  In  the  autumn  of  1866  he  again  went 
abroad,  remaining  two  years,  during  which  time,  in  addition  to 
long  stays  in  Paris,  he  visited  Spain,  Portugal,  Russia,  and  Italy. 
Besides  travel  and  sightseeing,  Mr.  Winthrop  found  time  while  in 
Europe  for  the  study  of  languages  and  to  familiarize  himself  with 
European  politics  of  which  his  knowledge  was  thorough. 

One  of  his  contemporaries  writes  that — 

With  the  history  of  modem  Europe,  especially  on  its  family  and  gene- 
alogical side,  he  was  as  familiar  as  with  that  of  America.  The  Almanach 
de  Gotha  he  hail  at  his  fingers'  end,  almost  at  his  tongue's  end,  and  he  was 
apt  to  reply  to  any  question,  '^  You  will  find  that  in  the  Almanach." 

Mr.  Winthrop  was  a  good  French  scholar,  and  his  command  of 
Spanish  and  Italian  was  sufficient  for  all  purposes  of  travel  and 
sightseeing.  A  connoisseur  in  art,  he  knew  little  of  music  although 
he  enjoyed  the  Opera.  As  a  young  man  and  in  early  middle  life 
he  was  an  inveterate  theatre-goer;  later,  however,  he  cared  only 
for  really  fine  acting;  but  whenever  there  was  a  good  French 
company  in  Boston  he  rarely  missed  a  single  performance. 

On  the  1st  of  June,  1869,  Mr.  Winthrop  was  married,  in  Bos- 
ton, to  Elizabeth  Mason,  eldest  daughter  of  Robert  Means  Mason 
and  granddaughter  of  the  Hon.  Jeremiah  Mason,  the  greatest  law- 
yer of  New  England  in  his  day,  who  was  also  a  Senator  of  the 
United  States  from  New  Hampshire.  In  the  following  July,  Mr. 
and  Mrs.  Winthrop  went  to  Europe,  where  they  remained  till  Sep- 
tember, 1871,  travelling  in  Great  Britain,  France,  Italy,  and  Ger- 
many. In  the  autumn  of  1872  they  established  themselves  at  No. 
37  J  Beacon  Street,  Boston,  where  they  passed  their  winters  till  1884, 
when  they  removed  to  No.  10  Walnut  Street.  Their  summers 
were  passed  in  various  places  till  1896,  when  they  occupied  the 
house  at  Manchester-by-the-Sea  which  they  began  to  build  in  1894. 

On  returning  to  Boston,  Mr.  Winthrop  found  abundant  leisure 
to  pursue  his  literary  and  historical  studies,  and  during  the  next  few 


1906.]  Eobert  Charles  Winthrop,  Jr.  229 

years  he  was  welcomed  to  fellowship  in  some  of  the  leading  Clubs 
and  Societies.  He  had  been  a  member  of  the  Somerset  Club  since 
his  graduation  from  Harvard,  and  now  he  also  found  enjoyment  in 
the  meetings  of  the  Wednesday  Evening  Club,  organized  in  Bos- 
ton as  early  as  1777,  and  of  the  Essex  County  Club,  to  which  he 
belonged  from  its  formation.  He  was  also  a  member  of  the  Bos- 
tonian  Society. 

Mr.  Winthrop's  connection  with  this  Society  dates  from  the  7th 
of  April,  1886.  On  its  reorganization,  in  1889,  he  was  elected  a 
member  of  the  Council  for  three  years,  and  rendered  efficient  ser- 
vice. From  1891  till  1902  he  served  on  the  Committee  on  English 
Research,  and  he  was  also  a  working  member  of  other  important 
committees.  When  the  Consolidated  Index  of  the  first  fifty  vol- 
umes of  the  New  England  Historical  and  Genealogical  Register 
was  undertaken,  he  made  a  generous  contribution  toward  its  cost. 

It  was  to  the  work  of  the  Massachusetts  Historical  Society,  how- 
ever, that  for  nearly  a  quarter  of  a  century  Mr.  Winthrop  devoted 
his  best  energies.  His  connection  with  that  venerable  organization 
is  best  described  in  the  following  words  of  its  President,  Mr. 
Charles  Francis  Adams : 

Mr.  Winthrop  was  chosen  a  Resident  Member  May  8,  1879,  and  during 
the  presidency  of  his  father. .  .  .  For  over  twenty  of  the  twenty-six  years 
of  his  connection  with  the  Society,  Mr.  Winthrop  was  one  of  the  most 
active,  interested,  and  influential  of  its  members.  More  recently,  owing 
to  a  marked  tendency  to  seclasion,^-due,as  he  claimed,  to  bodily  infirmi- 
ties and  especially  to  a  growing  imperfection  of  hearing, — he  had  ceased 
to  attend  our  meetings,  the  last  at  which  he  was  present,  and  in  which  he 
took  characteristic  part,  having  been  that  of  February,  1901. 

His  first  committee  service  was  in  1880,  in  connection  with  the  Win- 
throp Papers,  in  the  preparation  and  publication  of  which  he  took  a  natu- 
ral and  hereditary  pride.  The  finances  of  the  Society  were  at  that  time  in 
a  far  from  flourishing  state,  and  it  was  Mr.  Winthrop  who  quietly  came 
forward  and  met  the  cost,  some  $1200,  of  printing  the  volume  (Part  IV.) 
publislied  after  he  had  been  made  a  member  of  the  committee.  Subsequently, 
in  1889,  1892,  and  1897,  he  served  on  the  similar  committees  for  the  pub- 
lication of  Parts  V.  and  VI.  of  the  Winthrop  Papers  and  of  the  volume  of 
Bowdoin  and  Temple  Papers.  Between  1886  and  1898  his  service  on 
other  committees  was  almost  continuous  and  never  merely  nominal.  He 
was  essentially  a  working  member.  .  .  . 

Passing  to  his  communications  and  share  in  our  proceedings,  besides  two 
lesser  memoirs,  that  on  R.  M.  Mason  and  that  on  David  Sears,  he  prepared 
the  more  elaborate  biography  o9  the  elder  Robert  C.  Winthrop.  This 
last,  let  me  say  in  passing,  was  not  only  a  most  creditable  piece  of  literary 
work,  done  with  much  judgment  and  good  taste,  but  it  stands  in  lasting 
evidence  o£  that  abiding  and  admiring  respect  for  his  father  which  was  in 
him  so  marked  a  characteristic.  Besides  the  above,  the  list  of  Mr.  Win- 
throp's  miscellaneous  formal  contributions  ....  is  too  long  for  detailed 
enumeration ;  suffice  it  to  say,  it  includes  many  of  the  most  valuable  as 
well  as  entertaining  papers  read  at  our  meetings  between  1880  and  1900. 
During  those  years  no  one  was  listened  to  with  more  instruction,  certainly 


230  Robert  Charles  Winthrop,  Jr.  [July, 

no  one  at  times  did  so  mnch  to  enliven  a  Beries  of  meetings  not  character- 
ized, as  a  mle,  by  sallies  of  homor  or  aggressiTeneas  of  speech.  Nor  was 
his  participation  confined  to  formal  papers ;  and  the  older  members  of  the 
Society  will  bear  me  ont  in  the  statement  thaU  when  Mr.  Winthrop  took 
the  floor,  whatever  degree  of  listlessness  might  before  have  been  apparent 
at  once  disappeared  from  our  gatherings.     Al|  was  alertness  and  attention. 

An  accomplished  host  as  well  as  a  generous  giver,  to  him  we  owe  that 
most  valuable  double  autograph  of  Governors  Bradford  and  Winthrop 
which  ornaments  our  entrance  chamber,  one  of  the  most  precious  of  the 
Society's  possessions ;  and  on  two  occasions  at  least,  the  special  meeting 
after  the  death  of  Charles  Deane  and  the  Annual  Meeting  of  April,  1898, 
he  entertained  the  Society  at  his  home. 

Altogether,  I  may  confidently  assert  that  through  a  score  of  years  no 
member  of  our  organization  was  more  constant  in  attendance,  more  fruit- 
ful in  matter,  more  entertaining  as  well  as  instructive  in  his  contributions, 
more  generous  in  gift  and  more  lavish  in  hospitality  than  was  that  friend 
and  associate  of  fifty  years  whose  death  I  to^y  announce.* 

While  Mr.  Winthrop's  services  to  the  Massachusetts  Historical 
Society,  as  author  and  editor,  were  various  and  valuable,  his  great 
work  was  his  Memoir  of  his  father.  This  substantial  volume  of 
moVe  thau  three  hundred  and  fifty  pages  is  remarkable  for  many 
things  besides  those  mentioned  by  Mr.  Adams :  it  is  just  and  dis- 
criminating ;  notable  for  what  it  omits,  both  of  persons  and  events ; 
frank  to  a  degree  unusual  in  family  biographies ;  and,  when  we  re- 
member Mr.  Winthrop's  filial  attitude,  and  that  certain  political 
events  ended  the  elder  Winthrop's  public  career,  for  which  he  had 
most  unusual  qualifications,  the  reader  marvels  at  the  calm  self- 
restraint,  the  perfect  candor  and  the  absence  of  passion  and  resent- 
ment which  characterizes  the  portrayal  of  this  period  of  his  father^s 
public  life.  Reverence  and  affection,  the  truest  sympathy  in  his 
father's  domestic  joys  and  sorrows,  and  determination  to  vindicate 
his  character  from  the  unjust  aspersions  and  misjudgments  of  polit- 
ical enemies  and  thoughtless  contemporaries  are  everywhere  appar- 
ent.    One  of  Mr.  Winthrop's  early  friends  writes : 

His  after  life  was  quiet  and  domestic.  He  kept  up  his  historical  studies, 
but  wrote  much  less  thau  his  friends  had  hoped  for.  His  Life  of  Robert 
C.  Winthrop  is,  however,  everywhere  recognized  as  a  model  of  biographi- 
cal writing,  perfectly  impartial,  never  allowing  his  filial  relation  to  inter- 
fere with  a  clear  statement  of  all  phases  of  his  father's  character  and  ca- 
reer. 

A  Classmate  adds  this  estimate  of  the  volume : 

I  think  Robert  Winthrop's  Memoir  of  his  father  gives  an  impression  of 
his  own  character  and  abilities.  ...  I  have  long  considered  it  equal  to  the 
very  best  biographies  extant, — indeed,  I  cannot  name  another  that  I  con- 
sider as  good, — and  it  is  quite  as  much  a  monument  to  the  writer  as  to  the 
subject.  The  Defence  of  Katharine  Winthrop  I  have  not  seen.  .  .  .  Ex- 
cept the  exquisite  biography  of  which  I  have  already  spoken,  he  did  noth- 
ing to  my  knowledge  which  disclosed  his  remarkable  gifts.

There  was,  however,  another  literary  production  of  Mr.  Win- 
throp,  already  mentioned,  which,  although  in  an  entirely  different 
vein  from  the  Memoir  of  his  father,  is  nevertheless  entitled  to  prom- 
inent mention  in  any  biographical  notice  of  its  author.  One  of  our 
younger  scholars  has  pronounced  it  ''  the  brightest  historical  gem 
we  have  produced."  On  the  cover  of  this  pampUet  is  printed — 
•'.A  Few  Words  in  Defence  of  an  Elderly  Lady,"  while  the  more 
formal  title-page  runs,  "  A  Difference  of  Opinion  concerning  the 
reasons  why  Katharine  Winthrop*  refused  to  marry  Chief  Justice 
Sewall."  In  an  Address  on  the  Life  and  Character  of  Chief  Jus- 
tice Sewall,  delivered  in  the  Old  South  Meeting  House,  in  October, 
1884,  Dr.  George  E.  Ellis  had  styled  Madam  Winthrop  a  "  worldly 
minded  woman  "  and  had  intimated  "  that  she  first  encouraged  an 
old  man  to  make  her  an  offer  of  marriage  and  then  refused  him 
from  mercenary  motives."  A  few  months  later,  when  the  Address 
had  been  printed  and  distributed,  these  passages  fell  under  Mr.  Win- 
throp's  notice,  aroused  his  indignation,  and  called  forth  his  ''De- 
fence" of  the  lady.  '  This  paper  was  read  at  a  meeting  of  one  of 
the  Societies  with  which  he  was  in  fellowship,  in  February,  1885. 
Declaring  that  "sufferance  is  not  the  badge  of  all  my  tribe,"  and 
that  "  the  angelic  attribute  of  Patience  has  ever  been  imperfectly 
developed  in  my  composition,"  Mr.  Winthrop  proceeded  to  deal 
with  his  subject  in  a  manner  peculiarly  his  own.  As  a  piece  of  lit- 
erature it  is  brilliant,  discovering  a  sagacious  insight  into  character, 
a  masterly  power  of  statement  and  of  analysis,  dry  humor,  keen 
wit,  an  equally  keen  sense  of  the  ludicrqus,  generous  appreciation 
of  the  worth  and  rights  of  others,  pungent  phrases  expressive  of 
his  indignation  at  the  injustice  done  to  Madam  Winthrop,  and 
therewithal  a  rollicking  good-humor  which  disarms  at  once  the  crit- 
icism of  unprejudiced  and  disinterested  readers.  The  Publishing 
Committee  of  the  Society,  however,  in  the  exercise  of  the  discre- 
tion conferred  upon  it  by  the  By-Laws,  did  "  not  think  fit "  to  in- 
clude it  in  the  printed  Proceedings  of  the  Society.  As  might  have 
been  foreseen,  Mr.  Winthrop  promptly  had  his  "Defence"  printed 
and  distributed  to  his  friends  and  public  institutions.  The  pamphlet 
is  divided  into  two  Chapters.  Chapter  I.,  "  Wherein  the  Champion 
of  an  Elderly  Lady  recites  her  Wrongs,"  is  introduced  by  the  ex- 
clamation of  Angus — 

"  And  darett  thou  then

ton at  the  time  of  her  marriage  to  Chief-Justice  Wait  Still  Winthrop,  13  November, 
1707.  She  died  2  August,  1725  (Boston  Record  Commissioners'  Reports,  ix.  91,

282  Robert  Charles  Winthrop^  Jr.  [July> 

Penitential  Tale,"  begins  with  a  passage  from  the  lanientations  of 
King  David — 

'^  AU  they  that  $ee  me  .  .  .  .  they  shoot  out  the  lip,  they  shake  the  head.*' 

The  second  chapter  is,  in  a  way,  autobiographical  and  sheds  light 
upon  Mr.  Winthrop's  college  career  and  his  relations  to  the  Faculty, 
of  which  mention  has  been  already  made.  It  also  reveals  his  un- 
willingness to  conceal  any  shortcomings  of  his  own,  knowledge  of 
which  may  be  necessary  to  a  proper  understanding  of  his  personal 
relation  to  events  he  is  describing, — a  delicious  frankness,  indeed, 
which  it  behooves  his  biographer  not  to  forget.  A  portion  of  this 
chapter,  which  comprises  Mr.  Winthrop's  Remarks  at  the  April 
meeting  of  the  same  Society,  follows  : 

The  explanation  I  am  about  to  make  is,  as  I  said  before,  a  short  one ; 
bat  in  order  to  make  it,  I  am  obliged  to  go  back  to  a  period  when  some 
of  the  younger  members  of  this  Society  were  in  their  cradles,  to  a  time- 
two  and  thirty  years  ago— when,  as  a  member  of  the  Junior  Class  of  Har- 
vard College,  and  in  compliance  with  an  official  summons,  I  waited  upon 
the  President  of  the  University,  the  lamented  Dr.  James  Walker,  to  hear 
from  his  venerable  lips  the  announcement  that  the  College  Faculty,  by  a 
unanimous  vote,  had  awarded  to  me  what  was  then  known  as  a  **  Public 
Admonition  "  for  an  offence  which,  after  this  lapse  of  time,  I  blush  to  de- 
scribe, and  which  consisted  in  the  consumption  and  distribution  of  peanuts 
in  the  College  Chapel  during  a  Dudleian  Lecture.  I  could  not  in  con- 
science deny  the  charge ;  and  I  was  aware  that  any  attempt  to  do  so  would 
be  futile,  as  I  had  not  long  before  been  credibly  assured  that  no  less  com- 
petent an  authority  than  a  well-known  Professor  of  Political  Economy  had 
personally  identified  a  heap  of  shells  under  my  seat.  I  ventured,  however, 
to  insinuate  some  slight  palliation  of  the  enormity  of  which  I  had  been 
guilty,  by  pointing  out  that  no  inconsiderable  portion  of  that  Dudleian 
Lecture  had  been  devoted  to  undermining  certain  religious  tenets  which  I 
had  from  childhood  been  taught  to  reverence.  Dr.  Walker  rejoined,  in 
accents  of  unmistakable  severity,  although,  as  it  seemed  to  me,  there  played 
across  his  expressive  features  the  shadow — the  momentary  shadow— of  a 
smile :  ^*  Mr.  Winthrop,  your  conduct  in  this,  as  in  some  other  matters,  has 
been  marked  by  an  incorrigible  want  of  decorum." 

Well-nigh  a  third  of  a  century  has  passed  away  since  I  was  privileged 
to  enjoy,  on  that  and  at  least  one  other  somewhat  similar  occasion,  a  few 
minutes  of  close  personal  intercourse  with  so  remarkable  a  man ;  and, 
viewed  in  the  light  of  subsequent  experiences,  those  memorable  words  of 
his  which  I  have  just  quoted  seem  now  to  me  to  have  been  instinct  with  a 
sort  of  prophetic  pathos.  Again  and  again  have  I  been  made  the  subject 
of  such  misconceptions.  Endowed  by  nature  with  the  keenest  apprecia- 
tion of  whatever  is  grave  and  solemn  and  respectable  in  this  world ;  ani- 
mated as  I  have  long  been,  by  an  eager  desire  to  concentrate  these  qualities 
in  an  eminent  degree  in  my  own  person,— I  yet  seem,  somehow  or  other, 
only  to  have  succeeded  in  encountering,  from  time  to  time,  a  perverse  dis- 
position to  attribute  to  me  an  ill-judged  levity  wholly  foreign  to  my  tem- 
perament. It  has  even  been  broadly  hinted  to  me  that  in  a  communication 
which  I  felt  it  my  duty  to  make  to  this  Society  at  its  February  meeting,  I 
was  considered  in  some  influential  quarters  to  have  transcended  the  very

figoradTelT  attired  in  sackdotk.  bowing  a  gray  head  in  what  is  intended  to 
be  a  penitential  attitude,  indicatire  (S  contrition ;  and  as  I  look  around 
me,  while  I  seem  to  discern  here  and  there  on  some  expres»Te  features  the 
shadow — the  momentanr  shadow--of  a  smile,  yet  in  my  heart  of  hearts  I 
realize  that  if  some  yeneiaUe  lips  saw  fit  to  q)«ak,  they  would  only,  I  fear« 
re-echo  the  language  of  James  Walker  two  and  thirty  years  ago,  and  im- 
pute to  me  ^  an  incorrigible  absence  of  decorum." 

To  those  gentlemen  who  may  not  hare  been  present  at  the  February 
meeting,  I  will  briefly  explain^  that  I  hurried  here  that  afternoon,  bursting, 
I  may  say,  with  what  I  thought  a  righteous  indignation, — ^fired,  as  it  were, 
by  a  pious  zeal  to  vindicate  Uie  memory  of  an  aged  lady,  who  would,  had 
she  been  able,  hare  risen  here  herself  before  us,  from  her  grave  just  below 
that  window,  the  great-great-grandmother  of  the  retiring  President  of  this 
Society,  whose  chvacter  had  ^n,  as  I  conceived,  somewhat  cruelly  bespat^ 
tered  in  a  recent  pamphlet  from  the  authoritiTe  pen  of  our  reTered  Senior 
Vice-President,  soon,  as  I  magnanimously  hope,  to  be  hailed  by  us  by  an 
even  more  august  title. 

After  the  meeting  was  over,  it  occurred  to  me  to  put  to  one  of  our  lead- 
ing members,  with  whom  I  was  in  casual  conversation,  this  crucial  question : 
<<  How  much,"  I  inquired,  *'  of  what  I  said  this  afternoon  would  you  advise 
me  to  send  in  for  publication  ?  "  His  countenance  fell, — ^he  looked  at  me 
somewhat  askance, — and,  taking  refuge  in  periphrastic  ambiguity,  he  re- 
plied :  "  They  are  likelv  to  be  very  short  of  space  in  the  forthcoming 
volume.  Several  memoirs  have  unexpectedly  come  in,  and  the  Doctor  is 
said  to  have  prepared  one  more  than  forty  pages  long,"  Well,  I  confess, 
such  is  the  egregious  vanity  often  resulting  from  literary  composition ,  that 
for  an  instant  I  felt  like  exclaiming,  "  How  hard — how  hard — that  this 
little  ewe  lamb  of  mine — this  widow's  mite  of  a  communication,  so  to  speak 
— must  be  sacrificed  because  some  one  has  imexpectedly  prepared  a  memoir 
more  than  forty  pages  long !  "  -  But  in  a  twinkling  my  better  nature  as- 
serted its  supremacy,  and  I  said  to  mys&lf,  "  Age  before  merit, — I  will  go 
home  and  shear  that  little  ewe  lamb !  "  And  I  went  home,  and  I  clipped 
away  a  little  here  and  I  expurgated  a  little  there,  making  a  not  inconsider- 
able reduction ;  and  the  next  day,  with  a  light  heart  and  an  easy  con- 
science, I  dispatched  what  was  left  to  our  admirable  Recording  Secretary, 
Professor  Young.  Bitter,  bitter  deception !  About  a  week  after,  I  got  a 
letter  from  him,  couched  in  most  courteous  language, — he  could  pen  no 
other, — delicately  but  frankly  intimating  to  me  that  my  little  ewe  lamb 
was  a  source  of  no  small  embarrassment  to  the  Publishing  Committee. 
One  eminent  member  of  the  Society  (whom  he  did  not  name)  was  substan- 
tially of  the  opinion  that  so  misbegotten  a  beast  had  no  proper  place  in 
our  sheep  fold.  Another  eminent  member  (whom  he  equally  did  not  name) 
considered  that,  if  admitted  at  all,  the  process  of  shearing  should  be  continued 
even  to  the  bone.  A  third  contented  himself  with  the  general  suggt'Stion 
that  my  method  of  treating  such  subjects  was  hanlly  in  accordance  with  the 
dignified  traditions  of  this  body.  I  took  all  these  criticisms  in  good  part. 
I  realized  that  the  gentlemen  who  made  them  could  have  no  possible  bias, 
that  they  were  actuated  only  by  a  sense  of  duty,  or  by  a  desire  to  promote 
what  they  believed  to  be  the  best  interests  of  this  Society.  I  deferred  to 
their  better  judgment.  I  drew  the  sacrificial  knife.  I  said,  "  I  have  been 
willing  in  moderation  to  shear,  but  I  cannot  vivisect  this  animal ;  I  prefer 
to  cut  its  throat"     In  other  words,  I  withdrew  the  communication  ;  sul>>

stitating  for  it  that  half-page  of  innocuoas  manascript  which  yoa  will  find 
printed  in  the  yolnme  of  Proceedings  this  day  laid  apon  the  table.* 

And  here,  so  far  as  this  Society  is  concerned,  I  drop  the  subject ;  merely 
adding  that,  while  I  freely  consented  to  make  this  little  sacrifice,  while  I 
was  even  ready  to  h amble  myself  as  I  have  done  here  to-day,  yet  I  could 
not  find  it  in  my  heart  to  abandon  one  who.  as  I  firmly  believe,  has  rested 
her  defence  upon  my  shoulders.  I  reflected  that  the  pamphlet,  the  accu- 
racy of  passages  in  which  I  called  in  question,  has  not  merely  been  dis- 
tributed among  the  personal  friends  of  its  distinguished  author,  but  that  it 
has  unquestionably  found  a  place — a  place  of  permanent  record — on  the 
shelves  of  numerous  public  libraries  in  New  £ngland  and  elsewhere  ;  and 
I  thought  it  only  fair,  only  right,  that  the  future  student  of  provincial  do- 
mestic history  should  be  enabled  to  discover  in  some  obscure  and  dusty 
comer  of  the  same  shelves  another  little  pamphlet,  issued  solely  upon  my  own 
responsibility,  disengaging  wholly  the  dignity  of  this  Society,  and  which 
will  embody  the  substance  of  my  remarks  upon  this  subject,  accompanied, 
not  impossibly,  by  some  slight  annotation.  I  shall  be  happy  to  send  a 
copy  of  this  little  pamphlet  to  any  member  of  the  Society  who  may  feel 
the  smallest  interest  in  the  matter,  and  in  the  mean  time  I  should  be  really 
grateful  if  any  one  of  them — Mr.  Charles  Francis  Adams,  Jr.,t  of  course, 
necessarily  excepted — would  supply  me  with  an  appropriate  classical  quo- 
tation for  my  titlepage.  Those  I  have  hitherto  thought  of  do  not  quite 
satisfy  me,  and  I  have  been  obliged  thus  far  to  content  myself  with  the 
following  sentence,  or  rather  half-sentence,  which  I  take  from  an  inspired 
source :  "  And  David  put  his  hand  in  his  bag,  and  drew  thence  a  stone, 
and  slang  it ! " 

Note. — An  obliging  person  has  pointed  out  to  me,  what  I  supposed  I  had 
made  snfflciently  evident,  that  I  have  not  the  blood  of  the  lady  of  whom  I  have 
constituted  myself  the  champion.  He  seems  to  think  that  because  I  am  descended 
from  her  step-son,  I  must  necessarily  be  indifferent  to  her  good  name.  I  can 
only  reply  that  such  has  not  been  my  own  experience  of  the  state  of  mind  re- 
sulting from  such  family  connections. 

I  rejjrct  to  add  (and  I  only  mention  it  because  I  am  afraid  Dr.  E.  may,  if  I  do 
not)  that  this  step-son,  after  his  father's  death,  became  an  imprudent  person  in 
money  matters.  Katharine  Winthrop  was  pat  to  great  annoyance  by  his  delay 
in  refunding  a  considerable  sum  she  had  allowed  him  the  use  of;  and  though 
she  eventnally  got  back  her  principal,  I  doubt  if  she  ever  saw  a  penny  of  her 
Interest.  I  venture  to  hope  that  she  may  regard  my  activity  in  her  behalf  in 
the  light  of  a  tardy  reimbursement;  and  if  I  am  fortunate  enough  to  obtain 
from  her  any  distinct  manifestation  on  this  subject,  I  shall  communicate  it  to 
the  Society  for  Psychical  Research.  R.  C.  W.,  Jr. 

Mr.  Winthrop  led,  from  preference,  a  retired  life,  and  although 
a  loyal  American  he  took  no  active  part  in  politics  and  held  no 
public  oflSce.  He  was,  however,  constantly  employed  in  important 
historical  and  biographical  work,  of  which  his  Memoir  of  his  father 
and  his  Defence  of  Katharine  Winthrop  are  the  best  fruit.  He 
especially  liked  biography,  and  was  an  incessant  reader.  While 
he  shunned  publicity  and  ostentation,  he  was  most  kind  and 
obliging,  especially  to  strangers  and  historical  students  and  scholars

t  This  reference  to  Mr.  Adams  was  doubtless  prompted  by  his  Oration,  entitled 
"  A  College  Fetich," — a  term  by  which  he  charactenaed  tiie  traditional  study  of  Greek, — 
delivered  in  June,  1883,  before  the  Harvard  Chapter  of  ^.B.K.

who  wrote  or  called  upon  him  for  information  concerning  persons 
or  events  that  possibly  are  mentioned  in  his  unrivalled  collection  of 
family  papers.  He  was  also  thoughtfully  kind-hearted,  as  is  seen 
in  the  gift,  after  his  father's  death,  of  all  his  father's  spectacles  to 
one  of  the  leading  oculists  of  Boston,  to  be  given  to  his  poor  pa- 
tients. Like  his  father,  Mr.  Winthrop  was  himself  very  near- 
sighted, and  in  consequence  oft;en  passed  his  most  intimate  friends 
on  the  street  without  bow  or  recognition  of  any  kind, — a  fact  that 
caused  him  to  be  regarded  as  snobbish  by  persons  who  knew  him 
but  slightly, — an  amusing  misapprehension,  since  he  was  one  of 
the  most  democratic  of  men,  appreciating  individuality  of  character  in 
whatever  walk  of  life  he  found  it.  One  of  Mr.  Winthrop's  friends 
writes : 

He  always  had  a  very  stroog  family  feeling,  and  every  Sunday  night 
daring  my  mother's  life  nothing  would  prevent  his  paying  her  a  regular 
Sunday  evening  visit. 

He  certainly  had  remarkable  talents.  ....  He  was  a  man  who 
loved  accuracy  and  hated  nebulosity.  What  some  people,  I  think,  regarded 
as  hardness  on  his  part  was  a  desire  to  prevent  the  possibility  of  •  future 
mistakes. 

He  also  hated  injustice  and  loved  fair  play. 

In  his  beautiful  home  in  Walnut  Street,  adorned  by  a  great  and 
matchless  collection  of  portraits  of  his  ancestors  and  kinsfolk  of 
many  generations,  and  of  his  own  and  his  father's  friends  among 
famous  men,  Mr.  Winthrop  died,  in  consequence  of  a  surgical  ope- 
ration, in  the  evening  of  Monday,  the  5th  of  June,  1905,  in  his 
seventy-first  year.  The  funeral  was  held  on  the  following  Friday, 
in  St.  John's  Memorial  Chapel  in  Cambridge,  built  nearly  thirty 
years  before  by  Mrs.  Winthrop's  father.  During  the  service  on 
that  beautiful  summer  afternoon,  as  the  setting  sun  streamed  through 
the  painted  windows  as  if  in  benediction  upon  the  scene,  the  opening 
lines  of  one  of  Longfellow's  sonnets  involuntarily  came  to  mind  : 

^'  I  stand  beneath  the  tree  whose  branches  shade 
Thy  western  window,  Chapel  of  St.  John ! 
And  hear  its  leaves  repeat  their  benison 
On  him  whose  hands  thy  stones  memorial  laid." 

Mr.  Winthrop  was  survived  by  his  widow,  a  son,  Robert  Mason 
Winthrop,  a  graduate  of  Harvard  in  the  Class  of  1895  and  now 
Secretary  of  Legation  at  Madrid,  and  two  daughters,  Clara  Bow- 
doin  Winthrop  and  Margaret  Tyndal  Winthrop,  the  name  of  the 
younger  being  a  pleasant  reminder,  after  the  lapse  of  nearly  three 
centuries,  of  the  saintly  woman  who  for  nearly  thirty  years  shared 
the  joys  and  sorrows  of  Governor  John  Winthrop  the  elder.  In 
his  will  he  describes  himself  as  "Robert  Charles  Winthrop,  the 
younger  of  that  name,"  having  always  retained  the  "Junior"  after 
the  death  of  his  father.  His  public  bequests  of  more  than  thirty 
thousand  dollars  were  to  the   Massachusetts  Historical  Society,

HARDY,  IN  THE  CROWN  POINT  EXPEDITION 

OF  1759. 

Communicated  by  Chablbs  A.  Flaoo,  Esq.,  of  Washinc^n,  D.  C. 

The  writer  of  this  diary  was  bom  in  Westborough,  Mass. ,  6  Mar. , 
1736-7.  Enlisting  in  Apr.,  1759,  his  company  evidently  formed  a 
part  of  the  2d  battalion  of  Col.  Ruggles's  Worcester  County  regi- 
ment. 

Hardy  passed  the  remainder  of  his  days  in  Westborough,  and 
died  there  16  Mar.,  1777.  By  his  marriage  with  Jemima  Brigham  of 
Shrewsbury  (intention  recorded  15  Jan.,  1763),  he  had  two  sons 
and  five  daughters.  The  elder  son,  Constantine,  removed  to  Upton, 
and  later  to  Shelburne,  Mass.  The  latter's  great-granddaughter. 
Miss  Elizabeth  Hardy,  of  Shelburne,  is  the  present  owner  of  the  diary. 
This  consisted  originally  of  a  book  of  twenty-two  leaves,  but  only 
twelve  and  part  of  another  of  the  leaves  are  now  remaining.

GEORGE  BETHUNE  OF  CRAIGFURDIE,  SCOTLAND, 
AND  BOSTON,  MASS. 

By  Charles  P.  Notes,  Esq.,  of  St.  Paul,  Minn. 

George  Bethune,  son  of  William  and  grandson  of  Robert  and  Marion 
(Inglis)  Bethune  of  Craigfurdie,  Scotland,  arrived  in  Boston  about  1710. 
The  approximate  year  of  his  arrival  is  obtained  from  Sewall's  Diary,  where, 
under  date  of  Mar.  11,  1710-1,  we  find  this  note:  "Thomas  Lee,  and 
George  Bethune  fin*d  for  Constables." 

It  has  been  stated  that  George  Bethune  came  to  Boston  about  1724,  es- 
tablished himself  as  a  banker  there,  and  married  a  Miss  Carey ;  but  after 
a  most  thorough  search  in  Boston  for  the  ancestry  of  Miss  Carey,  I  became 
satisfied  that  this  was  an  error,  and  my  later  discovery  of  the  following 
records  proves  it  to  be  so. 

In  the  Boston  Book  of  Marriage  Intentions  we  find  George  Bethune  was 
published  June  10,  1713,  to  Mary  Waters  of  Marblehead,  while  in  the 
Marblehead  town  record  of  Marriages  appears  this  record :  **  George  Bethune 
of  Boston  and  Mrs.  Mary  Waters  Je  3  1713.*'  Another  record  gives  the 
date  as  June  30.  Mary  Waters,  bom  Feb.  25,  1691-2,  baptized  at  Mar- 
blehead Apr.  24,  IG92,  was  the  eldest  daughter  of  William  and  Elizabeth 
(Latimer)  Waters  of  Marblehead,  Mass. 

Further  confirmation  of  the  marriage  was  found  in  the  following: 
George  Bethune  of  Boston  deeded  property.  Sept  10,  1722,  to  Nathaniel 
Norden,  Mary  Waters's  uncle,  to  settle  the  estate  which  NatlianieJ  Norden 
held  in  his  own  right,  and  which,  on  his  decease,  was  to  go  to  Latimer 


1906.]  Oeorge  Bethune.  239 

Waters  (Mary's  brother)  and  his  heirs  ;  and  in  default  of  such  heirs  it  was 
to  go  to  the  next  of  kin  of  Latimer's  deceased  mother,  Elizabeth  (Latimer) 
Waters.  (Essex  Co.  Deeds,  Vol.  41,  p.  209.)  Sept.  14,  1722,  Nathaniel 
Norden  of  Marblehead,  "  for  love  of  his  kinswoman  Mary  wife  of  George 
Bethune,"  deeded  to  her  a  certain  house  ^'  now  in  possession  of  Benjamin 
Stacy  called  The  Three  Codds  Tavern."  (Essex  Co.  Deeds,  Vol.  41,  p. 
210.)  In  a  deed  of  settlement  in  1722,  Nathaniel  Norden  gave  to  Latimer 
Waters,  Mary  Petherick,  spinster,  of  Marblehead,  George  Bethune  of 
Boston  and  Mary  his  wife,  two  dwellings  which  were  part  of  the  estate  of 
Christopher  Latimer,  set  off  to  Nathaniel  Norden  in  lieu  of  debt.  (Essex 
Co.  Deeds,  Vol.  44,  p.  88.)  In  the  final  distribution  of  Christopher 
Latimer's  estate,  Jan.  6,  1726,  the  division  was  between  Latimer  Waters 
of  Marblehead  and  George  and  Mary  Bethune  of  Boston — "  One  half  to 
Latimer  Waters  and  the  other  half  to  Mary  Bethune,  children  of  William 
and  Elizabeth  Waters,  said  Elizabeth  being  a  daughter  of  Christopher 
Latimer."  (Essex  Deeds,  Vol.  53,  p.  180.)  There  appears  to  have  been 
no  other  George  Bethune  of  Boston  at  that  time,  so  the  above  seems  to 
establish  beyond  question  the  fact  that  his  wife  was  Mary  Waters. 

George  Bethune  was  undoubtedly  engaged  to  some  extent  in  shipping 
trade,  as,  Dec.  18,  1727,  he  bought  of  Daniel  Law  "the  sloop  Mayflower 
all  ready  for  a  voyage  to  Honduras."  He  was  one  of  the  members  of  the 
Scots  Charitable  Society  of  Boston,  and  in  1732  was  Justice  of  the  Peace. 
The  date  of  his  death  is  not  known,  but  it  was  probably  in  1735,  as  an 
inventory  of  his  estate  was  taken  Feb.  20,  1735-6,  in  Boston. 

The  children  of  George  and  Mary  (Waters)  Bethune  were: 

i.  Janr,  b.  June  15,  1714;  m.  (1)  Feb.  1,  1737-8,  Dr.  (or  Capt.)  Moses, 
son  of  Samuel  and  Mercy  (Hinckley)  Prince,  who  d.  July  6,  1745, 
at  Antigua,  W.  I. ;  and  m.  (2)  Sept.,  17<>1,  as  his  third  wife,  Hon. 
Peter,  son  of  Col.  John  and  Elizabeth  (Coffin)  Oilman.  She  died 
at  Newburyport,  Mass.,  Mar.  9,  1795. 

ii.  Nathanikl,  b.  July  25,  1715;  m.  probably  Hannah  (or  Abigail), 
daughter  of  Job  and  Sarah  (Palmer)  Lewis.  He  was  Justice  of 
the  Peace  in  1760;  and  d.  In  Boston.  His  will  was  dated  Feb.  1,

in  Cambridge,  in  1785. 

vii.  Susanna,  b.  Dec.  11,  1722;  m.  Benjamin  Pemberton. 

viii.  Hknry,  b.  Aug.  18,  1724. 

ix.  Sarah,  b.  June  27,  1728;  m.  in  1700  (intention  published  June  30), 
Rev.  Sylvanus  Conant  of  Mlddleborough,  Mass. 

X.     Mary,  b.  Oct.  7,  1730. 

Mary  Waters,  wife  of  George  Bethune,  was  daughter  of  William  Waters 
(d.  1704)  ;  and  granddaughter  of  William  Waters  (cl.  1 084),  of  Marblehead, 
and  his  wife  Hannah  (Peach)  Bradstreet,  the  daughter  of  John  Peach  (d. 
1694)  of  Marblehead. 

Her  mother,  Elizabeth  Latimer  (d.  1699),  was  daughter  of  Christopher 
Latimer  (d.  1G90),  of  Marblehead,  and  his  wife  Mary  (d.  1081),  daughter 
of  William  Pitta  (d.  after  1679),  of  Marblehead  and  Boston,  Mass.

plages,  he  received  a  call  to  Easton,  IVIass.,  where  he  was  settled 
and  ordained,  Oct.  G,  1731.  He  was  a  man  of  peculiar  tempera- 
ment, and  was  subject  to  periodical  attacks  of  partial  insanity,  which 
resulted  in  serious  difficulties  in  his  church,  and  in  his  dismission  on 
Apr.  16,  1744.  Financial  embarrassments  finally  induced  him, 
shortly  after  the  death  of  liis  wife,  to  desert  his  children  and  flee

he  became  an  influential  man  and  the  most  prominent  of  the  Bel- 


1906.]  The  Belcher  Families.  247 

cbers  descended  from  Gregory.  Up  to  1735  he  is  called  "  Jr."  on 
the  records,  to  distinguish  him  from  his  elder  cousin  Moses'  (bom 
in  1674,  son  of  Moses^),  and  after  that  year  (when  Moses,*  son  of 
Moses,'  became  of  age  and  a  town  voter)  he  is  designated  either  as 
"  Mr."  or  "  Deacon,"  or  by  his  military  title.  As  early  as  1726  he 
began  to  hold  minor  town  offices,  and  for  over  30  years  he  was 
continuously  prominent  in  the  affairs  of  the  town;  selectman  from 
1737  to  1742,  and  in  1746  ;  sergeant  1737-1742;  lieutenant  1742- 
1748;  captain  1748-1751 ;  and  major  from  1751  to  1759.  During 
the  French  and  Indian  war,  from  1756  to  1759,  he  rendered  service 
as  a  muster  and  training  officer,  but  on  account  of  his  age  probably 
did  not  take  the  field.  On  May  29, 1747,  he  was  elected  deacon  of 
the  first  church,  holding  the  office  for  thirty  years,  until  his  death. 
The  exact  time  of  his  decease  is  not  recorded,  but  he  was  living  as 
late  as  1775.     The  probate  files  show  no  record  of  his  estate. 

He  married  first,  in  Boston,  May  20,  1715,  Mary  Williams;  and 
married  second.  May  23, 1765,  Abigail,  bom  Oct.  11,  1704,  daugh-

JEREMIAH  BELCHER  OF  IPSWICH. 

1.  Jeremy,  or  Jeremiah,^  Belcher  came  to  New  England  in  the 
ship  *'  Snsan  and  Ellen,"  in  the  spring  of  1635.  On  the  ship's  list  his 
age  is  stated  to  be  22  years,  so  he  was  bom  about  1613.  (Hotten's 
^*  Original  Lists,"  page  59.)  He  is  said  to  have  been  bom  in  Wiltshire,  Eng- 
land, but  the  writer  has  fonnd  no  evidence  of  this.  He  settled  at  Ipswich, 
Mass.,  where  he  became  a  proprietor,  was  admitted  freeman  Mar.  13, 
1638-9,  and  acquired  extensive  lands  by  grant  and  by  purchase.  In  the 
records  he  is  usually  styled  ''merchant,"  but  sometimes  he  appears  as 
"sergeant."  On  May  28, 1659,  he  was  granted  300  acres,  by  the  General 
Court,  to  be  located  outside  the  settled  pmntations,  but  he  did  not  take  up 
this  grant,  which  was  revived  in  favor  of  his  son  Jeremiah'  over  sixty 
years  later,  Nov.  17, 1722.  (Province  Laws,  vol.  x,  page  220.)  On  May 
15,  1 661,  he  deeded  lands  in  Haverhill  to  his  sons  Jeremiah'  and  John.' 
(Pope's  "  Pioneers  of  Massachusetts.")  He  deposed  on  Mar.  21,  1671-2, 
then  aged  59  years.  (Essex  Co.  Court  Files.)  On  July  1,  1721,  John 
Gould  of  Charlestown,  Walter  Russell  of  Cambridge,  Daniel  Gould  of 
Charlestown,  and  Moses  Bumham  and  Thomas  Andrews  of  Ipswich,  heirs 
to  Jeremiah  Belcher  of  Ipswich,  deceased,  released  to  Samuel  Adams  all 
claims  to  a  farm  in  Ipswich  formerly  owned  by  said  Jeremiah  Belcher, 
and  they  also  defended  the  grantee  from  the  heirs  of  Richard  Belcher  and 
from  the  heirs  of  David  Belcher,  sons  of  said  Jeremiah,  and  from  the  heirs 
of  John  Andrews  who  married  one  of  the  daughters  of  said  Jeremiah 
Belcher.     (Essex  Co.  Deeds,  vol.  40,  page  9.) 

Jeremiah^  Belcher  died  in  Ipswich,  in  Mar.,  1692-3,  aged  about  80  years, 
the  eldest  sou,  Rev.  Samuel,'  being  appointed  admiiristrator  of  the  estate, 
Mar.  31  of  that  year. 

The  name  of  his  first  wife,  whom  he  married  about  1637,  does  not 
appear,  but  it  should  be  noted,  however,  that  a  Mary  Clifford,  aged  25 
years,  emigrated  to  New  England  in  the  same  ship  with  him  in  1635,  her 
name  standing  next  to  his  on  the  passenger  list,  and  that  Edward'  Belcher, 
grandson  of  Jeremiah,^  had  a  son  Clifford} 

Jeremiah^  married  second,  in  1652,  Mary  Lockwood,  with  whom  he 
made  a  marriage  contract  Sept  30,  1652,  conveying  lands  to  trustees  for 
her  benefit  for  life.     She  survived  him,  and  died  in  Oct.,  1700.

Harvard  College  in  1659,  and  studied  for  the  ministry,  and  was 
preaching  at  Kittery,  Me.,  as  early  as  1663.  (Sibley's  "Harvard 
Graduates,"  vol.  II,  page  42.)  About  1665  he  went  to  the  Isles  of 
Shoals,  where  he  was  preaching  as  late  as  1686  (York  Deeds,  vol. 
IV,  page  64),  but  finally  ill  health  obliged  him  to  leave  that  place 
about  1692.  Before  1695  he  was  preaching  in  the  West  church  at 
Newbury,  where  he  was  ordained  and  settled  Nov.  10, 1608.  About 
1711,  the  infirmities  of  age  compelled  him  to  retire  from  the  minis- 
try, and  he  removed  to  his  native  town,  Ipswich,  where  he  died 
Mar.  10,  1714-15.  A  contemporary  minister,  Rev.  John  Barnard, 
refers  to  him  as  **  a  good  scholar,  a  judicious  divine,  a  holy  and 
humble  man." 

He  married  first,  about  1668,  Mary,'  daughter  of  Rev.  Thomas^ 
Cobbett  of  Lynn  and  Ipswich,  who  died  about  1 670  ;  and  married 
second,  Mercy,'  born  Feb.,  1655-6,  daughter  of  Rev.  Michaer"*  and 
Mary  (Reyner)  Wigglesworth  of  Maiden,  and  widow  of  Rev.

ChelseA,  and  East  Boston,  and  was  a  part  of  Boston  until  1739, 
when  the  town  of  Chelsea  was  incorporated).  He  first  leased  a 
farm  of  Got.  Beliingham  (the  original  indenture,  in  the  beautiful 
handwriting  of  the  gOTemor,  being  now  in  the  possession  of  Warren^ 
Belcher^  Esq.,  of  Winthrop,  Mass.),  and  later  purchased  lands  in 
what  is  now  Lynn,  Revere^  and  on  Breed's  Island  (then  called  IIc^ 
Island).  He  appears  to  have  been  a  prosperous  fmker^  as  in  1702 
he  paid  the  highest  tax  in  Runmej  Marsh,  on  a  farm  worth  £25 
rent  per  year,  two  oxen,  eight  cows,  two  horses,  one  hog,  and  one 
hundred  sheep.  (Boston  Beoord  Commissioners*  Report,  vol.  10, 
page  143.)  Late  in  life,  he  deeded  lands  to  his  sons  Edward, 
Joseph,  and  Ebenezer,  which  they  divided  among  themselves. 
(Suffolk  Co.  Deeds,  vol  28,  page  136.) 

He  made  a  will,  the  original  of  which  is  in  the  possession  of  his 
descendant  Warren^  Belcher,  Esq.,  of  Winthrop,  Mass.,  but  the 
instrument  was  not  offered  for  probate,  and  therefore  never  recorded 
in  any  registry,  so  it  is  herewiUi  given  in  f uU,  for  preservation :

according  to  liis  gravestone,  which  is  still  standing  in  the  old  Revere

He  married,  about  1667,  Sarah,*  daughter  of  Edward^  and  Eliza- 
beth Weeden  of  Boston,  who  died  Jan.  20,  1715-16.  On.lklar.  20, 
1716-17,  he  entered  his  intentidii  of  marriage  with  Rel)eccji  Nash 
of  Boston,  but  it  is  doubtful  if  the  marriage  was  consummated.  She 
was  the  widow  of  John  Nash,  cooper,  of  Boston,  who  had  died  in 
1712.

Jeremiah^  Belcher,  defended  the  grantee  from  the  heirs  of  David* 
Belcher ;  so  it  may  be  inferred  that  the  latter  had  descendants,  al- 
though no  further  record  or  mention  of  him  of  any  kind  can  be

THE  CONFERENCE  AT  DEERFIELD,  MASS.,  AUGUST 

27-31,  1735,  BETWEEN  GOV.  BELCHER  AND 

SEVERAL  TRIBES  OF  WESTERN 

INDIANS. 

By  Hon.  Gbo&qb  Shbldox,  of  Deerfield. 

While  engaged  in  gathering  material  for  the  hiatory  of  Deer- 
field,  some  thirty-five  years  ago,  I  heard  from  Miss  Harriet  Hitch- 
cock a  tradition,  told  her  by  Charles  Hitchcock,  her  father,  that  a 
treaty  had  been  made  with  the  Indians  at  Deerfield  a  long  time  ago, 
aud  that  the  meeting  was  held  on  the  home-lot  then  owned  by 
Jonathan  Hoyt,*  who  was  our  common  ancestor.  This  tradition 
was  unsupported  by  any  record  which  had  come  to  my  knowledge, 
and  observation  had  taught  me  that  local  traditions  with  no  records 
to  back  them  were,  as  a  rule,  to  be  taken  with  a  great  many  grains 
of  salt.  However,  with  this  tradition  had  come  down  a  single  Indian 
word.  This  word  had  apparently  been  so  often  repeated,  I  rea- 
soned, that  it  stuck,  and  may  have  become  a  by-word  in  the  town. 
Therefore,  there  must  be  some  foundation  for  the  story  of  the 
Meeting.     This  word  was  " squawottock,"  meaning  "more  rum." 

With  this  fantastic  foundation  for  my  faith,  I  set  about  an  ex- 
haustive search  for  traces  of  this  convocation  in  the  formidable  mass 
of  manuscript  at  the  State  House,  and  was  at  length  rewarded  by 
finding  some  bills  of  expenses  attending  a  Conference  with  the 
Housatonics  and  other  tribes  at  Deerfield,  in  August,  1735.  But 
at  this  point  I  was  confronted  with  a  statement  by  our  eminent 
historian.  Gen.  Epaphras  Hoyt,t  in  his  "Antiquarian  Researches," 
that  the  Conference  of  1735  was  held  at  Fort  Dummer.     Further 

•  Born  1688,  died  1779. 
t  Born  1766,  died  1860.

search  revealed  the  record  of  a  similar  Conference  at  Fort  Dummer 
two  years  later,  October,  1737.  In  the  very  first  speech  at  this 
Conference,  made  by  Ontosogo,  the  Indian  orator  of  the  Cagh- 
nawagas  said  to  Gov.  Belcher,  "Brother  of  the  Broadway,  Two 
Years  Past  I  was  at  Deerfield,  the  matter  then  delivered  to  us  by 
you  was,  that  the  old  Covenant  of  Peace  and  Unity  between  our 
brother  of  the  Broadway  and  us  might  be  continued."  In  replying 
to  Ontosogo,  the  Commissioners  allude  to  "  the  Covenent  of  friend- 
ship renewed  two  years  ago  at  Deerfield  between  this  Government 
and  the  Cagnawaga  Tribe."  This  settled  the  question  that  the 
meeting  in  1735  was  at  Deerfield.  Gen.  Hoyt  had  evidently  seen^ 
the  report  of  this  meeting  at  Fort  Dummer,  and  in  quoting  from 
it  had  substituted  '*Fort  Dummer"  for  "Deerfield."  Having  no 
clue  to  a  conference  in  his  native  town,  and  according  to  Sliss 
Hitchcock  held  on  his  grandfather's  own  home-lot,  Hoyt  interpreted 
"Deerfield"  as  covering  the  whole  frontier,  as  "Boston"  often  stood 
in  Canada  for  the  whole  colony.  This  slip  of  Gen.  Hoyt  should 
not  discredit  bis  general  accuracy. 

The  question  of  location  being  settled,  I  renewed  my  search  with 
ardor,  but  unfortunately  I  confined  my  eflPorts  to  the  records  of 
Indian  Conferences  and  the  manuscript  Archives,  and  brought  but 
little  more  to  light.  From  these  slight  traces,  and  knowledge  of 
the  procedure  in  like  Conferences,  was  made  up  the  account  of  the 
Treaty  printed  in  the  History  of  Deerfield.  It  is  primarily  to  give 
a  fuller  and  more  correct  account  of  the  Conference  at  Deerfield, 
August,  1735,  that  this  paper  is  prepared.  At  this  point  I  quote 
from  the  History  of  Deerfield. 

"As  I  have  said,  no  record  of  this  conference  at  Deerfield  has 
been  found,  but  we  are  indebted  to  Miss  C.  Alice  Baker  for  two 
important  papers  relating  to  it,  which  she  has  lately  discovered  in 
the  manuscript  Archives  at  Quebec.  One  is  a  'Letter  from  M. 
de  Beauharnois  to  the  Minister  [in  France],  1735  12th  October.'" 
In  this  letter,  written  six  weeks  after  the  Conference,  is  enclosed 
the  full  text  of  a  speech  which  Beauharnois  says  he  had  prepared 
and  sent  to  Deerfield  to  be  delivered  by  Ontosogo,  the  Caghnawaga 
Chief,  as  his  own.  Beauharnois  writes,  "My  Lord,  You  will  see 
by  the  words  subjoined  that  I  have  had  a  journey  to  Deerfield  made 
by  trustworthy  people,  and  the  speech  I  have  had  made  to  them 
•     .     .     .     which  astonished  them  not  a  little." 

This  speech  is  skilfully  drawn  to  hide  all  trace  of  French  origin, 
and  made  to  appear  as  if  it  were  a  spontaneous  outbreak  of  the 
Caghnawaga  chieftain,  enraged  by  the  reports  of  an  English  settle- 
ment on  lands  which  he  claimed  as  his  own.  These  two  papers 
were  printed  in  full  in  the  History  of  Deerfield  as  authentic  addition 
to  my  sketch  of  the  Conference.  The  reason  for  calling  attention 
to  this  incident  will  appear  in  the  next  stage  of  this  narration. 


258  Conference  at  Deerfieldy  1 735.  [July, 

Years  later,  Judge  Francis  M.  Thompson,  while  hunting  material 
for  his  History  of  Greenfield,  in  the  Public  Library  at  Boston,  hap- 
pened upon  an  official  printed  pamphlet  containing  the  entire  record 
of  the  Conference  at  Deerfield,  August,  1735.*  Here  was  a  "  find  " 
indeed,  and  Judge  Thompson  was  desirous  of  making  a  perfect 
copy  for  his  history,  but  proper  facilities  were  denied,  and  he  was 
hampered  in  his  efforts.  Later,  however,  I  was  conceded  the  privi- 
lege needed  for  making  a  verbatim  copy  of  this  document,  f  Now, 
the  record  thus  brought  to  light  reveals  a  queer  sequel.  The  pro- 
ceedings of  each  day  of  the  Conference,  and  the  speeches  of  each 
day,  are  given  minutely,  and  from  first  to  last  there  is  not  a  word, 
or  a  hint,  of  the  speech  or  subject  matter  of  the  speech,  which 
M.  de  Beauharnois  says  he  prepared  for  Ontosogo,  and  which, 
when  delivered  by  Ontosogo  at  Deerfield,  "  astonished  them  not  a 
little."  It  may  be  here  added  that  at  the  Conference  at  Fort  Dum- 
mer,  two  years  later,  there  was  neither  word  nor  hint  of  this  incen- 
diary speech  by  Ontosogo.  Instead  of  waving  the  bloody  axe  and 
breathing  threatenings  and  slaughter  at  Deerfield,  as  represented 
by  Beauharnois,  the  Caghnawaga  chief  appears  to  be  the  most  serene 
and  happy  man  alive.  In  his  farewell  speech,  August  29,  he  says, 
"  I  salute  the  Governor  and  all  the  Gentlemen  here.  I  have  been 
so  handsomely  treated  since  I  have  been  with  you  that  I  have  almost 
fancied  myself  in  Heaven."  Could  Gov.  Belcher  and  Ontosogo 
read  the  Canada  version  of  this  Conference,  they  would  no  doubt 
be  "astonished  not  a  little."  How  are  these  contradictions  to  be 
explained?  How  is  the  official  Report  of  Gov.  Belcher  and  the 
oflScial*  letter  of  Gov.  M.  de  Beauharnois  to  the  Court  of  France 
to  be  reconciled? 

One  is  reminded  of  a  conumdrum  founded  upon  what  a  boy 
declared  to  be  an  impossible  relationship  to  certain  people.  The 
solution  of  the  puzzle  given  was,  '*The  little  brat  lied."  Does  not 
the  solution  in  this  case,  at  least,  squint  in  the  same  direction  ?  But 
who  was  the  author  of  this  old  conundrum  ?  Each  must  be  his  own 
judge.  Could  Gov.  Belcher  have  suppressed  such  a  speech  afler 
he  had  promised  to  send  each  tribe  a  printed  copy  of  the  proceed- 
ings ?  Indians  never  forget.  Did  Ontosogo  keep  the  speech  in  his 
breast  and  report  its  delivery  to  Beauharnois  with  its  astonishing 
effect  on  the  English  ?  Hardly,  when  142  Indians  present  could  bear- 
testimony  against  him.  Were  the  grievance,  and  the  threatening 
speech,  made  up  and  sent  to  France,  to  show  the  King  what  a  fiiith- 
ful  and  watchful  governor  he  had  as  his  representative  in  Canada? 
Did  Beauharnois  assume  that  his  report  would  be  forever  buried  in 
the  Archives  of  France?  He  could  not  then  have  reckoned  with 
Miss  Baker  a  century  and  a  half  later.

ment. 


1906.]  Conference  at  Deerfield,  1735.  259 

One  more  document  should  be  preserved,  and  explained  in  this 
connection.  Oct.  28,  1903,  Rev.  Anson  Titus  published  in  the 
Boston  Transcript  a  manuscript  found  in  the  Archives  of  the  New 
England  Historic  Genealogical  Society,  which  he  called  "  A  Diary 
of  Surpassing  Interest,  for  the  first  time  published."  This  Diary 
was  written  by  a  gentleman  who  attended  the  Deerfield  Conference 
in  the  train  of  Gov.  Belcher;  but  it  was  devoted  mainly  to  the 
incidents  of  travel  by  the  way.  So  far  as  it  goes,  in  reciting  the 
action  of  the  Conference,  it  bears  out  the  text  of  Gov.  Belcher's 
report  with  a  single  exception.  The  diarist  says  that  one  of  the 
tribes  present  was  "the  tribe  of  Mohegans."  Knowing  the  history 
of  the  Mohegans,  it  was  a  justifiable  presumption  which  led  me  to 
question  the  statement  of  one  of  the  actors  in  the  Conference,  as 
to  the  presence  of  this  tribe.  Thinking  there  might  have  been  an 
error  in  the  copyist  or  typesetter,  I  examined  the  original,  and  ascer- 
tained there  was  no  error  in  the  printed  copy ;  '*  Mohegan ''  it  was. 
But  the  doubt  still  remained,  and  a  comparison  of  the  diary  with  the 
OflSicial  Report  revealed  the  fact  that  the  diarist  unwittingly  or  ig- 
norantly  used  the  name  "  Mohegan "  to  designate  the  Mohawks, 
who  were  actually  present,  associated  with  the  Scattakooks  and  not 
otherwise  named  by  him  as  a  distinctive  body.  Where  he  writes 
^  Mohawks  ^  it  applies  to  the  French  Mohawks,  or  Caghnawaga  tribe. 

It  was  the  discovery  of  this  error,  and  the  untoward  incident  of 
the  Beauhamois  letter,  which  moved  me  to  publish  this  pa[>er,  that 
the  close  student  of  Indian  affairs  of  the  period  might  not  be  misled 
by  the  writer  of  the  diary,  or  by  the  historian  of  Deerfield,  in  their 
reports  of  the  Conference  in  1735. 

There  is  another  word  that  might  be  said  touching  this  representa- 
tive gathering,  but  by  no  means  confined  to  it.  It  shows  in  gener- 
al the  parliamentary  method  of  procedure  in  the  public  business 
meetings  of  the  savage  and  the  intruding  white  man.  We  see  here 
the  native  savage  imposing  upon  the  representative  of  the  highest 
civilization  his  own  modes  and  forms  of  conducting  public  affairs. 
This  emphasizes  the  fact  that  the  impact  of  civilization  upon  savage- 
ry in  this  direction  liad  l>een  successfully  resiste<l.  These  forms 
and  ceremonies  of  the  Indians  handed  down  from  a  far-off  ago,  from 
generation  to  generation,  were  so  deeply  rooted  as  to  defy  all  induce- 
ments for  conformity  to  the  English  metho^ls.  I  have  said  else- 
where, from  information  obtained  chiefly  in  conversation  with  Miss 
Alice  Fletcher,  an  eminent  authority  on  Indian  affairs  :  — 

''The  red  man  is  generally  spoken  of  as  the  child  of  frer^flom ; 
but  no  galley  slave  wa<»  more  firmly  bound  to  his  oar,  than  wa-  the 
North  American  Indian  to  the  customs  and  traditions  of  his  tril>e. 
He  had  no  will  of  his  own.  His  c^>stume,  hi*  habit*,  his  conduct 
in  war  or  peace,  were  all  marked  out  for  him  by  inexoniUf;  law. 

.     .     .     Contact  with  civilization  made  not  a  whit  of  change  in 


260  Conference  at  Deerfield,  1735.  [July, 

his  mode  of  conducting  public  business,  whether  in  the  State  House 
at  Boston,  or  by  the  Council  fire  in  the  wilderness.  At  the  Court 
of  the'  Grande  Monarche*  Louis  XIV.,  etiquette  was  not  more 
strictly  enforced  than  with  the  tribes,  in  their  conferences  and  trea- 
ties with  the  whites.  The  latter  were  obliged  to  conform  as  best 
they  could  to  the  ceremonial  forms  of  the  savage.  Governors  and 
Embassadors  gravely  smoked  the  Pipe  of  Peace  .  .  .  ;  lifted 
or  buried  the  hatchet,  brightened  the  Covenant  chain,  sent  or  re- 
ceived the  wampum  belts,  and  gave  the  inevitable  present ;  for  no 
promise  was  sacred  and  no  treaty  binding  which  was  not  ratified  by 
an  exchange  of  gifts."  *  With  this  strong  attachment  to  their  inter- 
national civil  forms,  it  would  seem  an  utterly  hopeless  task  to  at- 
tempt a  change  in  their  religious  rites  relating  to  the  unseen  and 
controlling  powers  all  about  them.  But  the  fact  remains,  account 
for  it  as  you  may,  that  the  devoted  English  missionaries  were  par- 
tially successful  in  their  attempts  to  "  convert "  the  natives  to  Chris- 
tianity ;  albeit  it  generally  proved  in  the  end  a  ruinous  operation  to 
the  natives,  as  they  took  more  readily  to  the  vices  than  the  virtues 
of  their  Christian  neighbors.  At  this  same  Conference  of  which 
we  write,  a  minister  was  ordained  to  go  among  the  people  of  one  of 
the  tribes,  to  labor  for  their  conversion.  The  history  of  the  Housa- 
tonic  Indians  shows  that  this  effort  met  with  a  considerable  meas- 
ure of  success.  They  as  a  tribe  accepted  the  new  Deity,  the  new 
forms  of  worship,  and  many  of  the  ways  of  civilization  ;  thus  they 
were  held  constant  friends  of  the  English  in  subsequent  French  and 
English  wars. 

The  Diary  quoted  below  had  never  before,  so  far  as  known,  been 
published.     In  his  introduction  Mr.  Titus  said  : — 

'*  The  following  diary  was  kept  by  a  member  of  the  council  of 
Governor  Jonathan  Belcher,  on  the  tour  to  consult  with  the  Indians 
in  the  western  part  of  the  Bay  Province.  It  is  not  known  by  whom 
it  was  written. " 

This  itinerary  is  condensed,  but  the  entries  bearing  on  the  Confer- 
ence are  given  in  full.

That  day  they  reached  Col.  Chandler's  at  Worcester;  August 

2l8t,  reached  Col.  Dwight's  at  Brookfield ;  the  22d,  Col.  Stoddard's

•July  10,  1735,  John  Wheelwright  was  allowed  by  the  Council  six  hundred  pounds, 
for  the  purchase  of  "  a  present  to  the  Western  Indians  to  be  given  them  at  the  intended 
Interview  at  Deerfield.  '* 


1906.]  Conference  at  Deerfield,  1735.  261 

Gentlemeiii  &  where  in  the  afternoon  the  Tribe  of  the  Cagnaroagas 
(or  French  Mohawks)*  was  sent  for,  &  after  the  usual  Salutations 
&  Conference  they  were  dismist. 

28"*,  Thursday  at  Deerfield.  The  same  was  done  to  the  Hoase- 
tonnocksy  &  to  the  Scattacooks  &  Mohegans  [Mohawks]  together, 
in  the  forenoon.  In  the  afternoon  the  Mohawks  [French  Mohawks] 
were  sent  for  again,  &  had  a  conference.  It  lasted  about  an  hour 
&  an  half.  ^ 

29"*.  Friday  at  Deerfield.  The  Housetonnocks  were  sent  for, 
&  had  a  conference :  it  lasted  about  an  hour  &  an  half  (in  the  fore- 
noon) Then  the  Mohawks  [French  Mohawks]  were  sent  for, 
reciev'd  their  Presents  after  a  short  Conference,  &  din'd  with  the 
Govemour  &  Gentlemen  in  the  Tent,  &  after  Dinner  the  Gov',  took 
his  Leave  of  them. 

30^^.  Saturday  at  Deerfield.  The  Housetonnocks  were  sent  for, 
&  after  some  Conference  reciev'd  their  Presents,  &  were  dismist. 
Then  the  Scattacooks  were  sent  for  &  in  like  manner  reciev'd  their 
Presents,  the  Mohegans  [Mohawks]  reciev'd  theirs  after  Dinner 
without  any  further  Conference.  These  three  Tribes  [Housatonics, 
Scattakooks,  Caghnawagas]  din'd  with  the  Govemour. 

31"*.  Sabbath  Day  at  Deerfield.  In  the  forenoon,  the  Rev^.  M'. 
[John]  Sergeant  was  ordain'd  to  preach  the  Gospel  to  the  Tribe  of 
flie  Housctonnock  Indians.  The  Rev^.  M'.  [Jonathan]  Ashley  of 
Deerfield  began  with  Prayer,  the  Rev**.  M'.  [Nathaniel]  Appleton 
of  Cambridge  preach'd  from  2  Tim  :  2  :  2 1 .  *  If  a  man  therefore  purge 
himself  from  these  he  shall  be  a  Vessell  unto  Honour,  sanctified  & 
meet  for  the  Master's  use,  &  prepared  unto  every  good  work.  *  The 
Rev**.  M'.  [William]  Williams  of  Hatfield  gave  the  charge,  &  the 
Rev**.  M'  [Stephen]  Williams  of  Springfield  the  right  hand  of  Fel- 
lowship. In  the  afternoon  the  Rev**.  M'  Williams  of  Springfield 
preach'd  from  2  :  Is :  4  :  '  And  he  shall  judge  among  the  nations, 
&  shall  rebuke  many  peoples :  and  they  shall  beat  their  swords  into 
ploughshares,  &  their  Spears  into  Pruning  Hooks.' " 

Sept.  1,  Monday,  they  rode  up  to  Fort  Dummer;  Sept.  2,  they 
rode  through  Northfield,  Montague,  Sunderland,  and  Hadley,  to 
Kelloggs  ferry,  where  the  Governor  and  party  crossed  over  to  North- 
ampton ;  Sept.  3,  they  went  to  Westfield,  and  thence  to  Springfield ; 
Sept.  4,  homeward  bound,  they  reached  Brookfield;  Sept.  5,  at 
Marlborough ;  and  Sept.  6,  arrived  at  Boston. 

In  the  ofiScial  report  of  the  Conference  by  Gov.  Belcher,  there  is 
a  notable  lack  of  the  picturesque  and  embellished  oratory  which 
writers  generally  put  into  the  mouths  of  Indian  speakers.  In  fact, 
the  language  of  Gov.  Belcher  is  more  figurative  than  that  of  the  In- 
dians. 

•The  Caghnawagas  were  an  offshoot  of  the  Mohawks,  one  of  the  Five  Nations. 
They  had  heen  converted  by  Catholic  missionaries  and  induced  to  remove  and  settle 
on  the  Sorel  River  in  Canada.  There  they  were  a  bulwark  against  invasion  fVom  the 
South.    Thej  were  known  as  '*  French  Mohawks.  "

tained in  loosely-sewed  sheets,  without  covers,  preserved  at  the  Norwell  Bank.  There 
appears  to  be  a  hiatus  in  these  records  from  1757  to  this  entry.  liev.  Dr.  Barnes  re- 
tired from  tho  ministry  in  1809,  and  was  succeeded  by  Rev.  Samuel  Deane.  Besides 
the  baptisms,  there  are  marriages,  church  admissions,  dismissals,  etc.

TAYER  (THAYER)  FAMILY  ENTRIES  IN  THE  PARISH 

REGISTER  OF  THORNBURY,  GLOUCESTERSHIRE, 

ENGLAND. 

Communicated  by  Waltbb  Faxon,  Esq.,  and  Edwabd  Hbkrt  Whorf,  Esq. 
With  Introduction  and  Notes  by  Henrt  Ernest  Woods,  A.M. 

The  parish  of  Thornbury  is  in  the  western  part  of  Gloucestershire, 
the  town  being  a  short  distance  from  the  river  Severn.  It  is  eleven 
miles  north  from  Bristol,  from  which  port  it  is  probable  that 
Thomas  and  Richard  Tayer  sailed  for  New  England.*  The  Thornbury 
parish  register  is  from  1538,  with  breaks  from  1645  to  1650  and 
from  1679  to  1684. 

Thomas  Tayer  was  in  Boston,  Mass.,  before  24  Feb.  1639-40, 
when  land  was  granted  to  him  at  Mount  Wollaston  (Brain tree, 
Mass.)  for  "9  heads"  in  his  family, f  these  consisting  of  himself 
and  wife  Margery,  his  sons  Thomas,  Ferdinando  and  Shadrach, 
perhaps  two  daughters,  Sarah  J  and  Hannah,  §  bom  soon  after  his 
arrival  in  New  England,  and  possibly  two  servants. 

Richard  Tayer,  a  widower,  presumably  a  younger  brother  of 
Thomas,  came  to  New  England  in  1641  with  eight  children,  ||  and 
settled  at  Braintree,  Mass.,  afterwards  removing  to  Boston.  His 
children  are  identified  as  Richard,  Sarah,  Jael,  Deborah,  Zachariah, 
Hester,  Nathaniel  and  Cornelius. IT 

It  is  likely  that  the  Nathaniel  Thayer  who  was  in  Taunton  be- 
fore 1668,**  and  the  Benjamin  Tayer  who  died  in  Newport,  R.  I., 
in  1716,tt  were  related  to  Thomas  and  Richard. 

The  root  of  the  family  name,  from  "taw":  to  dress  skins,}}  is 
made  clear  in  the  earlier  spelling  of  the  name  at  Thornbury.  The 
letter  "  h  "  was  added  soon  after  the  emigrants  came  to  New  Eng-

i  Sarah  Thaver  and  Jonathan  Ilay  ward  were  married  6  May,  1663,  in  Braintree. 
Hannah  Tnayer  and  Samuel  Hay  den  were  married  28  Oct.,  1664,  in  Braintree.

land ;  but  in  the  line  of  the  family  descended  from  Ferdinando' 
(Thomas*)  of  Mendon^  Mass.,  that  letter  was  silent — as  in  Thomas 
and  Thompson — until  earlj  in  the  last  century.  No  coat-of-arms 
appears  on  any  tablet  or  monument  of  the  family  at  the  parish  church

Oldbury-on-Severn,  in  the  parish  of  Thornbury,  was  disclaimed  by 
the  heralds  at  their  Visitation  of  Gloucestershire  in  1623,  for  using 
arms  without  proof  of  authority,  would  show  that  the  family  was 
not  armorial.     The  name  is  now  extinct  in  Thombury. 

A  famQy  spelling  the  name  Theyer  and  Thayer ^  and  having  ^he 
same  root  from  "  taw,"*  has  long  been  at  Brockworth  in  Glouces- 
tershire, f  a  parish  25  miles  north-east  of  Thornbury;  and  there 
was  an  armorial  family  of  Tamyer  at  Raunds  in  Northamptonshire,  | 
about  80  miles  north-east  of  Brockworth  and  105  miles  from  Thom- 
bury; and  also  an  armorial  family  of  Thayer  at  Great  Baddow 
and  later  at  Thaydon  Garnon  in  county  Essex, §  afterwards  of  Lon- 
don ||  ;  but  no  connection  between  these  families  has  been  estab- 
lished, so  far  as  known.

Majesty's  Service  in  the  Wars,  within  the  County  of  Gloucester,

and  (3)  those  between  50  and  60  years  of  age,  there  appear 
in  Thornbury:  Edward,  John,  Nicholas,  and  Richard  Tayer ^ 
all  of  the  second  class,  and  William  Martimer,  of  the  first  class ;  in

In  Shakespeare's  **  A  Midsummer  Night's  Dream"  there  is  a  stage 
direction  in  the  First  Folio:  "  \_E7iter\  Tawyer  with  a  trumpet." 
This  refers  to  a  William  Tawier,  or  Tawyer,  a  subordinate  in  the 
employ  of  John  Hemminge  who  was  one  of  the  members  of  the 
Globe  Theatre  Company  and  one  of  the  editors  of  the  First  Folio. 
William  Tawier  was  buried  in  St.  Saviour's  Church,  Southwark, 
in  June,  1625.**

ANDREW  BENTON  OF  MILFORD  AND  HARTFORD, 
CONN.,  AND  HIS  DESCENDANTS. 

By  John  H.  Bbictok,  Esq.,  of  Washington,  D.  C. 

1.  JoHM^  Bentok,  of  the  pariBh  of  Epping,  eo.  Essex,  England,  and 
Mary  Southernwood,  were  married  at  Eppiug,  May  25,  1618.  (For  an 
account  of  the  family  in  England,  see  Charles  E.  Benton's  **  Caleb  Benton 
and  Sarah  Bishop,  their  Ancestors  and  their  Descendants,"  Poughkeepsie, 
N.  Y.,  1906.) 

Their  children  were : 

2.  Andrew,  bapt.  Oct.  15,  1620.

Elizabeth,  bapt  Aug.  31,  1628. 

[Here  occurs  a  register  hiatus  of  8  years.} 
John,  bapt  Mar.  10,  1689. 

The  register  shows  the  burial  of  a  John  Benton,  Feb.  12,1662,  and  of ''  the 
widdow  Benton,"  June  5, 1665,  but  there  is  uncertainty  as  to  their  identity. 

That  the  above  record  of  Andrew,  baptized  Oct  15,  1620,  relates  to 
Andrew  Benton  the  emigrant  is  deduced  from  the  facts  thfat  his  tomb- 
stone in  Hartford  (whither  he  removed  from  Milford)  shows  he  was  ''aged 
63  yrs."  at  his  death,  July  31,  1683,  thus  agreeing  with  the  probable  time 
of  birth,  and  that  the  name  of  John  (his  faUier)  was  given  to  three  of  his 
children,  two  of  whom  died  in  infancy,  and  the  name  of  Mary  (his  mother) 
was  given  his  second  daughter. 

That  he  was  nearly  related  to  Edward  Benton  the  emigrant  may  be  in- 
ferred from  their  coming  together  to  America ;  and  a  coincidence  of  Chris- 
tian names  and  other  data  suggests  that  John  the  father  of  Andrew  the 
emigrant  was  probably  a  son  of  Andrew  and  Maria  Benton,  parents  of 
Edward  the  emigrant ;  and  if  so,  he  was  an  older  son  whose  birth  failed 
of  registration  in  the  Epping  parish  records,  or,  possibly  he  was  a  son  of 
the  John  Benton,  baptized  Apr.  14,  1588,  whose  father,  Andrew  Benton, 
bom  in  1548,  inherited  by  will,  in  1569,  the  manor  of  Shingle  Hall,  at 
Epping,  of  which  his  father,  John  Benton,  became  the  owner  in  1552. 

In  view,  therfore,  of  the  uncertainty  as  to  an  earUer  ancestry,  I  choose 
to  begin  the  ancestiul  line  with  John  and  Mary  (Southernwood.) 

2.  Andrew*  Benton  (John})  was  allotted  parcel  No.  64  at  the  appor- 
tionment in  Nov.,  1639,  of  the  land  at  Milford,  Conn.,  bought  from  the 
Indians  in  Feb.  of  that  year.  It  contained  three  acres,  and  was  situated 
on  the  west  side  of  Half  Mile  Brook,  near  the  crossing  of  what  is  now 
Spring  and  Hill  streets,  and  to  this  were  added  several  other  parcels  of 
ground.  He  married  first,  probably  in  1 649,  Hannah,  daughter  of  George 
Stocking  of  Hartford,  a  first  settler  there  in  1636.  They  united  with  the 
church  at  Milford,  he  on  Mar.  5,  1648,  and  she  on  Oct  13,  1650,  and 
were  dismissed  to  Hartford,  Mar.,  1 666,  whither  they  had  removed  as  early 
as  1662.  Here  he  was  a  fenceviewer  in  1663  and  '64,  a  juror  in  1664  and 
'67,  was  a  freeman  in  May,  1665,  and  a  suppressor  of  *'  disorders  during 
public  worship  "  (during  the  Hartford  Controversy)  and  collector  of  min- 
ister's rates  in  1667.     He  separated  to  the  Second  Church  in  Feb.,  1670,

with  his  wife,  daaghter  Hannah,  and  his  father8*in-Iaw,  Stocking  and  Cole. 
He  married  second,  probably  in  1673,  Anne,  daughter  of  John  Cole,  '^  a 
godly  man  of  some  public  trust/'  She  was  the  *^  bewitched  maid "  on 
whose  account,  mainly,  Nathaniel  Greensmith  and  his  wife  were  hanged 
for  witchcraft,  Jan.  25,  1668.  Groffe,  the  r^dde,  then  iu  hiding  at  Mil- 
ford,  writes  in  his  diary,  Feb.  24,  that  after  the  hanging  ''  the  maid  waa 
well";  and  Cotton  Mather's  Magnalia,  in  1684,  says  of  her  that  ''she 
is  restored  to  health,  united  with  the  church,  and  living  in  good  re- 
pute." She  died  testate,  Apr.  19,  1685,  leaving  an  estate  of  £60.12.6,  to 
be  divided  among  her  Uiree  surviving  chUdren,  of  whom  Ebenezer  was 
given  a  double  portio^  because  of  "  impotency."  Hannah,  his  first  wife, 
died  probably  in  1672.  He  was  buried  in  Center  Church  Cemetery,  and 
his  gravestone,  near  the  rear  wall  of  the  church,  reads :  ''  Andrew  Ben- 
ton Aged  63  yeabs  He  dted  iTLy  81  Ano  1683."  His  estate,  ap- 
praised at  £345.17.19,  was  administered  by  his  son  Joseph,  and  distributed, 
Dec  18,  1683,  to  his  widow,  and  children,  Andrew  Samuel,  Joseph,  Mary, 
and  Dorothy,  by  his  first  wife,  and  Ebenezer,  Lydia,  and  Hannah,  by  his 
second  wife. 

The  homestead,  formerly  owned  by  Nathaniel  Oreensmith,  was  at  the 
junction  of  the  nntds  leading  to  Wethersfield  and  Farmington,  and  on  the 
west  side  of  the  present  Wethersfield  Avenue.  At  the  death  of  the  widow, 
it  became  the  property  of  his  son  Joseph  Benton,  who  sold  it  in  June,  1693. 
He  owned  several  oiher  parcels  of  land,  one  of  which  in  the  '*  Five  Mile 
Lay  Out,"  in  East  Hartford,  was  distributed  to  his  dght  surviving  child- 
ren. Mar.  24,  1689.

5.  Joseph'  Benton  (Andrew,^  John}),  is  first  mentioned  in  his  grand- 
father George  Stocking's  will,  dated  July  15,  1 673.  He  married 
first,  [Martha?]  a  daughter  of  Dea.  Paul  Peck  of  Hartford,  who 
left  him  a  legacy  of  £5  in  his  will,  dated  June  25,  1695 ;  and  mar- 
ried second,  Feb.  10,  1698,  Sarah,  daughter  of  Bevil  Waters  of 
Hartford,  ^^aman  of  good  estate,"  who  died  Mar.,  1729,  leaving 
his  "  eldest  daughter,  Sarah  Benton  wife  of  Joseph  Benton,  £500." 
He  nitited  with  the  church.  Mar.  8,  1696,  and  she.  Mar.  15,  1713. 
In  1714,  probably,  he  removed  from  Hartford  to  the  town  of  Tol- 
land, Conn.,  where  he  and  his  son  Joseph,  and  his  brother  Samuel 
and  his  son  Samuel,  appear  as  '*  inhabitants  **  and  first  proprietors.

1720,  a  selectman  in  1721  and  '22,  a  first  deacon  of  the  church, 
and  largely  "  intrusted  with  public  affairs."  At  a  survey  of  the  line 
between  the  towns  of  Tolland  and  Coventry,  in  1722,  his  house 
and  three  acres  of  land  fell  within  the  latter,  but  by  agreement  he 
was  *^  still  accounted  an  inhabitant "  of  Tolland.  He  was  at  New- 
ington.  Conn.,  Nov.  23,  1739,  and  in  1742  he  removed,  probably 
with  his  son  Jehiel,  to  the  town  of  Kent,  in  Litchfield  Co.,  Conn.

ENGLISH  ORIGIN  OF  THE  AMERICAN  DEARBORNS. 

Communicated  by  Victor  Channino  Sanbo&n,  Esq.,  of  Chicago,  111. 

Perhaps  misled  by  "Tradition,"  the  investigators  of  families 
originating  with  Wheelwright  and  his  Exeter  Combination  have 
turned  from  the  blazed  trail  which  leads  into  Lincolnshire,  as  indi- 
cated by  the  late  Col.  Chester  and  by  "  Long  John  "  Wentworth. 
Tims  the  Towles  are  said  to  be  Irish,  and  the  Dearborns  to  have 
come  from  Devonshire. 

The  volmiies  of  Lincoln  Wills,  in  course  of  publication  by  the 
British  Record  Society,  give  ample  clues  to  local  families,  as  do 
always  the  documents  of  diocesan  registries  of  probate,  whose  records 
mainly  deal  with  families  of  small  possessions,  distinguished  from 
those  whose  wealth  or  ambition  inclined  them  to  register  their 
wills  in  the  Prerogative  Courts  of  Canterbury  or  York.  In  these 
Lincoln  volumes  appear  many  Towle  wills,  showing  a  family  of 
that  name  residing  in  North  Lincolnshire,  and  there  are  also  a  few 
Dearborn  wills  which  I  think  show  conclusively  the  origin  of  our 
American  Dearborns  to  have  been  next  door  to  the  English  home 
of  their  religious  leader,  John  Wheelwright. 

The  following  abstracts  of  Dearborn  wills  show  a  family  of  that 
name  originating  m  Hogsthorpe,  Lincolnshire  (a  parish  next  to 
Alumby  where  the  Wheelwrights  came  from,  and  the  very  place 
where  Wheelwright  bought  land  from  one  Francis  Levet),  and 
branching  into  Binbrooke,  Sibsey,  Spilsby,  and  Hannay,  thus  lead-

ing  the  genealogist  into  five  Lincoln  parishes  whose  registers, 
extending  as  they  do  to  the  early  16th  century,  will  undoubtedly 
furnish  forth  the  Dearborn  ancestry. 

The  Dearborns  were  of  yeoman  stock;  and  the  name  does  not 
appear  in  any  ancient  records  or  pedigrees  which  I  have  found.  It 
will  be  seen  that  these  wills  mention  Chriltian  names  identical  with 
our  early  Dearborns,  except  for  the  emigrant  Godfrey,  wliom  I 
surmise  to  have  been  a  son  of  Thomas,  the  cousin  of  Henry  of  Han- 
nay  in  1635.  The  earliest  name,  Michael  (uncommon  in  New  Eng- 
land families) ,  appears  in  the  third  American  generation  as  the  son 
of  Ebenezer,  who  was  the  grandson  of  Godfrey, 

My  interest  in  the  Dearborns  being  purely  collateral,  and  I  have  not 
traced  the  family  farther  than  the  clues  here  printed.  I  found  these 
in  searching  for  the  English  origin  of  my  ancestor  Thomas  Levet, 
who,  like  Godfrey  Dearborn,  followed  Wheelwright  to  Exeter  and 
moved  to  Hampton,  where  he  established  a  home  and  left  many 
descendants.  I  hope  to  print  in  the  Register,  ere  long,  what  I 
have  discovered  as  to  Levet's  Lincoln  and  Yorkshire  origin.

Notes. 

Gexrral  Enoch  Poor  was  born  in  Andover,  Mass.,  21  Jane,  1736,  but  early 
became  a  citteen  of  Exeter,  N.  H.  He  was  colonel  In  the  2d  Regiment  of  New 
Hampshire  troops  in  the  Revolutionary  army,  and  died  near  Hackensack,  N.  J., 
9  Sept.,  1780.  The  Report  of  the  Adjutant  General  of  New  Hampshire  for  1866, 
vol.  ii,  p.  339  note,  says:  "He  was  killed  In  a  duel  with  a  French  Officer." 
This  story  passed  until  the  Hon.  Ellis  Ames  of  Canton,  Mass.,  communicated  a 
paper  to  the  Massachusetts  Historical  Society,  stating  that  Gen.  Poor  was 
killed  in  a  duel  with  Maj.  John  Porter,  a  Massachusetts  officer.  (1  Proceedings 
xix.  266-261.) 

Both  of  these  statements,  however,  are  Incorrect,  according  to  the  following 
deposition  which  was  made  shortly  after  Gen.  Poor's  death.

AS  a  Report  has  been  spread  thro'  this  State  that  the  late  Brigadier-General 
POOR  died  of  a  Wound  received  in  a  Duel,  the  following  Depofitlon  may

that  for  fome  Months  before  his  Death  I  lived  with  him,  attended  him  con-

Early  American  Emigrants. — The  late  Mr.  Hotten  In  his  introduction  to 
the  "Original  I^st  of  Emigrants  to  America"  tells  us  that  the  early  settlers 
left  the  old  country  because  of  persecution — political  and  religious.  The  pro- 
ceedings ajjalnst  the  remonstrants  were  taken  in  the  Courts  of  Star  Chamber 
and  High  Commission.  All  the  decree  books  of  the  first  named  jurisdiction  are 
lost,  and  many  of  those  of  the  latter,  and  so  all  interested  in  American  ancestry 
have  been  prevented  from  using  the  records  of  the  fines  and  punishments  as  a 
means  of  genealogical  Information.  This  hindrance  has  now  been  removed 
by  the  important  discovery  that  two  sets  of  fines  imposed  by  the  Star  Cham- 
ber and  High  Commission  exist  in  the  Public  Record  Office,  one  scries  for 
both  Courts  appears  to  be  perfect,  but  some  of  the  other  set  have  been  lost. 
As  they,  in  each  case,  give  residence  of  the  delinquent,  and  in  some  instances 
name  the  wife  and  children,  the  importance  of  this  find  to  the  descendants  of 

♦  Major  Jeremiah  Fog^  the  son  of  Rev.  Jeremiah  and  Elizabeth  (Parsons)  Fog^, 
was  born  in  Konsin^ton,  N.  H.,  in  1749.  He  was  graduated  from  Harvard  College  in 
1768,  and  was  an  Acyutant  in  Col.  Poor's  regiment  in  May,  1775,  and  a  Brigade  Major 
in  1782.    He  died  26  May,  1808. 

t  William  Parker,  the  son  of  Hon.  William  and  Elizabeth  (Grafton)  Parker,  was 
born  in  Portsmouth,  N.  H.,  in  1731.  He  was  graduated  from  Harvard  College  in  1761, 
and  began  the  practice  of  law  in  Exeter  in  1765.  He  was  Register  of  Probate  for  many 
years,  and  1  Jan.,  1790,  he  received  the  appointment  of  Juage  oT  Common  Pleas  for 
Kockingham  Co.,  which  office  he  held  until  his  resignation  in  1807.  He  married  Eliza-

Andrews.— The  following  note  shows  the  participation  of  minors  in  the  land 
purchases  in  the  Old  Colony : 

Under  the  heading  •*  Henry  Andrews  of  Taunton,"  Hon.  Josiah  H.  Drummond 
published  an  account  of  the  earliest  generations  of  the  Andrews  family  of 
Taunton,  Mass.,  in  the  Register,  vol.  51,  page  453,  and  I  published  a  supple- 
mentary article  in  the  Register,  vol.*62,  page  16.  Concerning  the  data  in  these  two 
articles,  Mr.  Drummond  and  I  were  in  substantial  accord  except  as  to  the  dates 
of  birth  and  death  of  Henry'  Andrews  (Henry,*  Henry').  We  had  a  long  dis- 
cussion on  these  points,  but  were  unable  to  come  to  an  agreement.  The  matter 
is  now  definitely  settled  by  statements  found  in  an  old  Bible,  the  property  of 
the  Old  Colony  Historical  Society,  formerly  belonging  to  Josiah*  Andrews  (son 
of  Henry')  who  recorded  therein  the  deaths  of  his  parents.  This  Bible  was 
printed  in  Edinburgh  in  1726.  On  the  inside  of  the  front  cover  is  written: 
**  Josiah  Andrews  his  Book  god  give  him  grace  their  into  Look  that  when  the 
Bel  Begin  to  toal  the  Lord  have  Marcy  on  this  Sovl."    On  the  inside  of  the  back 

cover  is  written :    *•  this  book  bot  in  y«  year  1729  price 0-11-0."    And  on  a 

blank  page  is  inscribed  the  following : 

"ianuary  y«  25:  1784-5    henry  andrews  senyer  desest  being  in  y«  seuenty 

**  forth  year  of  his  eage 

**  March  y«  20  1736    Mary  andrews  died  being  in  y«  seventy"*  year  of  her  eage  " 

Hence,  Henry'  Andrews  was  l>orn  in  1661 ;  or,  more  exactly,  between  Jan.  25, 
1660-1,  and  Jan.  25,  1661-2. 

The  importance  of  definitely  settling  this  birth-date— the  reason  for  the  long 
discussion  and  extended  search  among  the  records  by  Mr.  Drummond  and  oth- 
ers— lies  in  the  light  it  sheds  on  the  rules  and  customs  of  the  early  settlers  in 
the  admission  of  associates  in  the  land  purchases. 

In  the  list  of  Taunton  South  Purchase  Proprietors,  Nov.  26,  1672,  occur  the 
names  of  Henry  Andrews  and  flenry  Andrews  Junior.  The  unanimous  agreement 
of  all  the  genealogists  who  have  searched  over  and  over  again  all  the  known 
records,  is  that  these  were  Henry*  Andrews  and  his  son  Henry'  Andrews.  Not 
the  slightest  trace  of  any  other  possible  Henry  Andrews  has  been  found.  Hence 
in  the  beginning  it  was  assumed  tliat  Henry'  Andrews,  his  father  being  alive, 
was  an  adult  on  this  last-named  date ;  but  this  assumption  was  soon  found  to 
be  erroneous.  Then  Mr.  Drummond  studied  the  records  for  the  laws  on  the 
subject,  and,  as  a  result,  informed  me  that  he  could  find  nothing  forbidding  the 


1906.]  JTotes  and  Queries.  313 

Admission  of  a  minor,  whose  father  was  living,  to  purchase  rights.  If  Henry 
the  father  had  more  than  one  purchase  right,  he  wrote,  there  was  no  reason 
why  he  shoald  not  turn  over  one  of  these  rights  to  his  minor  son. 

In  this  same  list  there  is  one  other  parallel  case.  Peter*  Pitts  and  his  minor 
son  Samnel*  Pitts  were  both  recorded  as  purchasers.  I  have  been  unable  to  And 
any  record  of  the  birth  of  Samuel'  Pitts  and  therefore  am  unable  to  state  beyond 
peradventure  that  he  was  a  minor  on  this  date.  Tet  I  am  quite  sure  that  he  was 
bom  in  the  year  1655.

Allyn-Gilbert. — Capt.  Thomas  Allyn,  the  second  son  of  Matthew  and 
Margaret  (Wyatt),  was  with  his  father  an  early  settler  in  Windsor,  Conn.  He 
married,  Oct.  21,  1658,  Abigail,  the  eldest  child  of  the  Rev.  John  Warham  of 
Dorchester,  Mass.,  and  Windsor,  Conn.  Their  youngest  child,  Hester  or  Esther, 
bom  Oct.,  1679,  married  Ebenezer  Gilbert  of  Hartford,  Conn.,  son  of  Jonathan 
(the  Colony  Marshal  and  Indian  Commissioner)  and  his  second  wife  Mary 
Welles  the  neice  of  Gov.  Thomas  Welles.  Ebenezer  was  own  cousin  to  Jona- 
than Belcher  the  Colonial  governor  of  Massachusetts  and,  later,  of  New  Jersey. 
His  father  by  his  will,  dated  Sept.  10,  1774,  among  other  provisions  gave  him 
800  acres  and  upwards  of  land  situated  in  what  is  now  Berlin,  New  Britain,  and 
possibly  Meriden,  and  gave  Hester  £100.  His  estate,  inventoried  Feb.  12, 1682,

to  Great  Swamp  Parish  (Kensington— Worthlngtoik— Berlin),  where  he  built, 
before  1717,  a  brick  house  on  Christian  Lane,  made  from  clay  taken  from  his 
own  land,  not  far  from  old  Wethersfleld  bounds.  The  house  is  standing  and 
has  always  been  in  the  ownership  of  a  Gilbert  by  direct  descent  from  Ebenezer. 
He  died  in  1736,  leaving  an  estate  inventoried  at  £  8824  12  s  8  d.  His  wife  died

The  facts  are  that  Francis  Muncy  moved  to  Brookhaven,  Long  Island,  where  he 
had  Lot  22  In  1664,  and  where  he  died  in  1675,  administration  of  his  estate  being 
granted  his  widow  on  10  Sept.  1675.  She  married,  that  same  year,  John  Rams- 
den  (see  New  York  Marriages;  and  Town  Records  of  Brookhaven,  L.  I.,  page 
80),  which  Is  also  proved  by  a  record  In  which  the  two  sons  [John  and  Samuel] 
of  Francis  and  Hannah  (Adams)  Muncy  are  called  *'  sons  In  law"  [step  sons] 
of  John  Ramsden  of  Newtown,  and  agree  to  live  with  him  and  help  him. 

John  Muncy,  son  of  Francis  and  Hannah,  married  Hannah',  daughter  of  Rev. 
Nathaniel*  Brewster,  and  died  19  Feb.  1690-1.  It  was  probably  his  widow, 
Hannah,  who  married  John  Kimball.  William  Lincoln  Palmer.

A  Symbol  op  Terminal  Contraction.— There  has  often  been  observed  by 
expert  copyists  of  old  manuscripts  a  flourish  or  quirk  at  the  end  of  certain 
words,  which  has  not  been  reproduced  or  adequately  indicated  in  transcription. 
It  is  frequently  found;  and  as  common  Instances  may  be  given  the  words 
**8ecr3,"  ••  Resp3,"  •*Dra3"  for  Draper,  etc.  We  have  in  general  use  today 
the  abbreviations  •*  oz."  and  '*  viz." ;  and  the  character  •*  3  "  was,  according  to 
the  lexicographers,  "anciently  used  as  a  sign  of  terminal  contraction."  Now 
that  attention  Is  called  to  this  identity  of  the  flourish  at  the  end  and  the  symbol 
**  3  ,"  it  is  hoped  that  Its  use  in  that  way  may  be  adopted  by  copyists  and  editors 
of  early  manuscripts.  Alfred  B.  Page.

Gary  Pedigree.— (See  Waters's  Gleanings,  vol.  2,  page  1058.)  One  of  the 
daughters  of  Richard  Gary  (the  elder)  of  Bristol,  by  his  second  wife  Johan, 
was  Anne  who  married  Nicholas  Balle  of  Totnes  In  Devonshire,  merchant,  and 
by  him  had  several  children.  The  sons  all  died  unmarried,  the  daughters  mar- 
ried and  had  children.  Mr.  G.  E.  Gokayne*  of  the  Heralds  GoUege  is  descended 
from  one  of  the  daughters.  Another  of  the  daughters  married  Sir  Ralph 
Winwood,  Secretary  of  State.  Their  mother,  Anne  Balle,  widow,  married  Sir 
Thomas  Bodley,  founder  of  the  Bodleian  Library. 

Talcott  Pedigree.— (See  Waters's  Gleanings,  vol.  2,  page  1126.)  The  wife 
of  Thomas  Talcott  of  Horkesley,  1684,  was  Thomas  Ball,  not  Bull.  The  Balls 
were  located  in  that  neighborhood  at  the  end  of  the  15th  century,  and  continued 
there,  though  in  humble  circumstances,  till  the  beginning  of  the  19th  century.

married  Martha,  daughter  of  Samuel  and  Rachel  (Lambert)  Smith.  She  is  said

Historical  Intelligence. 
English  Research.— The  Committee  on  English  Research,  of  the  New  Eng- 
land Historic  Genealogical  Society,  begs  to  call  attention  to  the  dci^irability 
of  reviviufj:  investigation  concerning  the  English  ancestry  of  the  pioneers  of 
New  England.  From  1883  to  1899,  former  Committees  secured  funds  by  which 
valuable  researches  among  the  wills  of  the  Prerogative  Court  of  Canterbury  in 
London  were  carried  on  by  Henry  F.  Waters,  Esq.,  the  results  of  which  were 
published  in  tlie  Register,  giving  clues  which  lead  to  determining  the  ancestry 
of  many  of  the  early  settlers  of  New  England ;  but  since  Mr.  Waters's  work 
was  relinquished,  comparatively  little  has  been  accomplished  by  the  Society  in 
that  direction. 

The  Conmiittee  now  solicits  funds  for  continuing  research  in  England,  on 
the  ancestry  of  tlie  early  New  England  colonists,  the  results  to  appear  In  the 
Register,  and  It  would  be  glad  to  receive  suggestions  and  information  on  this 
subject. 

Clues,  not  generally  known,  as  to  the  origin  of  several  early  emigrants,  have 
come  into  tho  Committee's  hands,  and  the  Secretary  of  the  Committee  will  be 
glad  to  give  information  to  anyone  who  may  desire  to  make  investigations.

Hopkins  Genealoot.— It  will  be  deeply  regretted  that  the  material  of  the

The  following  letter  has  been  received  from  the  compiler  :— 

**  A  large  part  of  the  Hopkins  Genealogy  which  I  was  preparing  was  in  press 
and  would  soon  have  been  published.  Our  fire  has  totally  destroyed  the  labor 
of  years,  and  it  is  with  regret  that  I  announce  that  I  shall  not  ag£dn  attempt  to 
take  up  Its  compilation. 

I  trust,  however,  that  some  one  else  may  undertake  the  work,  and  such  as- 
sistance as  I  may  be  able  to  furnish  from  memory  is  always  at  command.  In 
order  that  such  compilers  may  not  be  deterred  from  taking  up  the  work,  by  the 
belief  that  I  still  have  it  in  hand,  I  should  appreciate  the  favor  of  a  notice  in

The  English  family  of  Cary  is  in  this  volume  traced  to  Adam  de  Karl,  lord 
of  Castle  Kari  in  IIDS.  Besides  the  main  line,  itself  displaying  chiefly  the 
names  of  knights,  three  branches  of  Cary  nobles  are  included  in  the  genealogy, 
those  of  Baron  Ilunsdon,  the  Earl  of  Monmouth,  and  Viscount  Falkland,  and 
in  addition  to  these,  the  Clovelly,  Cockingtou  and  Torre  Abbe,  and  Somer- 
setshire lines  of  Carys.  The  history  of  these  families  is  presented  in  an  inter- 
esting manner,  and  the  author  says  that  it  is  "  an  absolute  certainty  that  they 
were  our  ancestors."  The  volume  is  a  line  one  in  appearance,  with  clear  print,

These  lively  and  humorous  pages  abound  in  sensible  remarks  on  the  manner 
In  which  the  librarian  should  deal  with  the  genealogist,  as  also  on  the  character-

Into  contact  with  such  as  the  woman  he  mentions  who  remarked  that "  she  should 
not  feci  a  bit  proud  even  if  she  found  out  that  she  was  descended  from  Queen

This  biography  was  written  to  correct  the  misrepresentations  of  its  subject 
in  Newhairs  ••  Lin,  or  Jewels  of  the  Third  Plantation,"  which  is  largely  fiction 
but  80  interspersed  with  fact  that  the  reader  is  unable  to  distinguish  between

character  as  that  of  Mr.  Sbepard,  who  was  an  associate  of  the  Mathers,  the 
Sewalls  and  the  Saltonstalls,  and  who  was  distinguished  for  his  patriotism.  His 
eminence  as  a  preacher  Is  evident  from  the  fact  that  he  was  invited  to  deliver

The  re-publicatlon  of  this  fragment  of  Governor  Bradford's  Letter  Book,  at 
this  time  when  Interest  In  Pilgrim  history  Is  so  widespread,  Is  amply  justified 
by  the  rarity  of  both  editions  of  the  third  volume  of  the  first  series  of  the  Col- 
lections of  the  Massachusetts  Historical  Society,  In  which  it  was  first  published 
in  1794  and  reprinted  in  1810.    Through  Prince's  Clironology  it  is  known  that 
many  of  the  letters  used  in  Bradford's  History  of  Plymouth  Plantation  were 
from  this  letter  book.    A  list  of  these,  and  the  few  other  known  letters  to  and 
from  Governor  Bradford,  would  have  added  much  to  the  usefulness  of  this

There  Is  nothing  of  Interest  or  importance  pertaining  to  Lyndeborough  which 
has  not  received  due  attention  in  these  volumes.  The  abundant  information 
furnished  is  arranged  under  the  captions  usually  found  in  town  histories. 
"'Old  Cellar  Holes"  and  *'Town  ITairs,"  however,  are  subjects  not  so  often 
introduced  in  works  of  this  kind,  and  illustrate,  together  with  such  literature 
as  the  poem  on  small-pox,  the  successful  manner  in  which,  from  beginning  to 
end,  the  authors  have  enlivened  their  undertaking.  From  the  '  *  Summary  View  " 
to  the  "  Mortuary  Record,"  the  historical  portion  of  the  work,  including  ampU 
biographical  sketches,  is  thoroughly  treated.  The  Genealogies,  occupying  two 
hundred  and  eighty  pages,  are  a  most  valuable  addition  to  the  history.  There 
Is  an  '*  Index  of  names,  places  and  subjects."  The  volumes  are  well  printed 
and  substantially  bound. 

History  of  Plymouth,  New  Hampshire.  Volume  /.,  Narrative.  Volume  11.^ 
Genealogies,  By  Ezra  S^  Stearns,  A.M. ,  Member  of  New  Hampshire  Histori- 
cal, New  England  Historic  Genealogical  and  American  Antiquarian  Sx>cietie8«

This  history  of  Plymouth,  N.  H.,  was  prepared  under  direction  of  a  Com- 
mittee of  the  town,  and  not  the  least  of  their  wisdom  was  the  selection  of 
Mr.  Stearns  as  the  historian.  Mr.  Steams,  by  an  ample  knowledge  of  sources, 
methodical  preparation  of  chapters,  and  possessing  a  sense  for  detecting  vital 
information,  has  produced  a  history  of  which  Plymouth  may  well  be  proud. 
Volume  I.  treats  of  the  proprietors  and  settlers,  the  affiiirs  of  state,  militia,  school 
and  church,  and  vividly  portrays  the  society  of  the  town  to  date.  The  Revo- 
lutionary war  period  is  finely  and  fully  treated.  Volume  II.  embraces  gene- 
alogies, keeping  close  to  the  resident  families,  who  were  from  the  older  towns, 
«nd  of  the  fourth  and  fifth  generations  from  the  Puritan  settlers.  The  gene- 
alogical annotation  is  the  form  recommended  by  the  Rbgister.  The  two  vol- 
umes make  above  1400  pages,  of  which  800  are  genealogies.

West  India  Company,  April  26,  1656,  to  the  Jews  to  establish  a  settlement 
in  "New  Netherland."  The  celebration  attracted  the  sympathy  of  Gentile 
as  well  as  Jew,  as  is  shown  by  such  names  among  its  participants  as  President 
Roosevelt,  Ex-President  Cleveland,  Governor  Hlggins.  Bishops  Greer  and  Law-

DEATHS. 


Samuel  Adams  Drake,  long  a  member  of 
this  Society,  and  the  son  of  one  of  its 
chief  founders,  died  of  Bright's  disease, 
at  his  home  in  Kennebunkport,  Me., 
Dec.  4,  1906.  He  had  nearly  reached 
the  age  of  72  years,  having  been  bom 
in  Boston,  Dec.  20,  1833.  His  father, 
Samuel  Gardner  Drake,  needs  no  more 
than  the  merest  word  oif  passing  honor 
and  gratitude  from  this  Society,  so  well 
are  his  fidelity  and  efficiency  in  the 
founding  of  this  organization  and  in 
the  real  science  of  genealogy,  known. 
His  ancestry  went  back  through  the 
founders  of  Hampton,  N.  H.,  to  the  red 
hills  of  Devonshire  and  the  clan  which 
gave  the  world  the  renowned  navigator. 
Sir  Francis  Drake;  the  English  con- 
nections were  not  completely  traced 
out,  though  the  family  group  was  ascer- 
tained. But  the  subject  of  this  sketch 
depended  neither  on  his  remote  ances- 
tors nor  his  celebrated  father  for  the 
honor  of  his  name.  As  a  young  man, 
he  made  his  way  to  California,  and  did 
his  part  as  a  gold -hunter.  iA.t  a  later 
time,  he  betook  himself  to  Kansas,  and 
threw  his  energies  into  the  development 
of  that  state.  There  he  was  living 
when  the  Civil  War  broke  out;  and 
80  strongly  did  he  feel  the  error  of 
Disunion  that  he  became  a  leader  in  or- 
ganizing Union  forces.  The  state  of 
Missouri  appointed  him  a  Brigadier- 
General  for  this  work;  and  when  he 
had  performed  that  special  task,  he 
was  commissioned  Colonel  of  a  regi- 
ment in  Kansas,  and  led  his  troops  to 
active  and  heroic  service  in  the  strife 
which  waged  over  Missouri  and  the 
border  regions. 

When  he  took  up  the  line  of  author- 
ship he  naturally  saw  events  in  a  broad 
way,  which  no  man  not  familiar  with 
war  could  see ;  and  his  writings  show 
remarkable  comprehension  of  the  stra- 
tegic and  the  ultimate  effects  of  the 
epochs  he  described.  All  the  time  he 
was  a  lover  of  the  beautiful,  delighting 
to  paint  the  quiet  homes  and  attractive 
resting  places  of  the  people  no  less 
than  the  arenas  of  strife.  He  lacked 
none  of  his  father's  historic  sense,  and 
was  fond  of  the  study  of  antiquity  and 
the  biography  of  notable  persons. 
Withal  he  dreamed  by  times,  and  gave 
legends  and  tales  with  clevei-ness.  Year 
by  year  he  won  friends  by  his  frank- 
ness, blended  well  with  rare  courtesy 
in  listening  and  great  helpfulness  in 
communicating.  Among  the  members 
of  Melrose  and  Kennebunkport  par- 
ishes, of  the  Roundabout  Club,  U.  S. 


Grant  Post,  G.  A.  R.,  the  Loyal  Legion, 
this  Society  and  other  associations,  he 
held  a  high  place  for  his  witty  and 
valuable  communications  and  his  com- 
panionability. 

The  summer  sojourners  of  Kenne- 
bunk  and  Kennebunkport,  many  of 
them  gifted  and  reputed,  loved  to  linger 
in  his  simple  library,  see  his  nuggets 
of  book  and  manuscript,  and  get  in 
touch  with  his  refreshing,  unconven- 
tional currents  of  thought.  When  oc- 
casion called  for  it,  he  had  a  power  of 
timdy  public  speech  which  made  his 
words  memorable.  The  writer  recalls 
how  well  he  showed,  in  a  local  celebra- 
tion of  the  centennial  of  the  organiza- 
tion of  our  government,  the  wisdom  of 
the  Maker  of  History  in  raising  up  the 
leaders  of  the  Revolution  and  of  the 
establishment  of  our  republic. 

A  list  of  his  published  writings  may 
be  made  without  order  of  composition 
or  in  exact  statement  of  titles,  to  close 
this  glimpse  of  the  man  and  his  life : — 
Old  Landmarks  of  Boston,  Around  the 
Hub,  Old  Boston  Taverns,  New  England 
Legends,  Historic  Mansions  Around 
Boston,  Our  Colonial  Homes,  History 
of  Middlesex  County,  Historic  Fields

Making  of  the  Ohio  Volley  States,  The 
Making  of  the  Great  West,  The  Making 
of  New  England,  The  Battle  of  Gettys- 
burg, The  Young  Vigilantes. 

At  the  time  of  his  death,  he  was  en- 
gaged on  an  uncompleted  History  of 
the  United  States  which  his  father  had 
begun.  General  Drake  also  wrote  many 
magazine  articles  of  merit.  He  married, 
Oct.  5,  1866,  Olive  No  well,  bom  Oct. 
6,  1837,  daughter  of  David  and  Esther 
rJones)  Grant  of  Kennebunkport,  who 
died  Dec.  12,  1885,  leaving  him  two 
daughters,  Louise  Isabel,  ^dfe  of  Arthur 
Harry  Woodman  of  Melrose,  and  Alice 
Gardner,  a  teacher  in  Melrose  Public 
Schools,  who  has  been  the  especial  de- 
light and  companion  of  his  later  years. 
From  his  home  by  the  sea  the  body  was 
brought  to  his  former  residence,  Mel- 
rose, and  laid  in  Wyoming  Cemetery.

STEPHEN  SALISBURY,  A.M. 

Bj  Waldo  Lincoln,  A.B. 

Stephen  Salisbury,  who  was  born  March  31, 1835,  at  Worces- 
ter, and  died  there  November  16,  1905,  was  descended  from  John 
Salisbury,  a  "  mariner "  of  Boston,  whose  name  first  appears  in  a 
tax  list  for  1689,  and  who  was  twice  married,  first  to  Annabel,  who 
died  September  7,  1694,  by  whom  he  had  three  children :  John, 
bom  January  5,  1690,  died  December  15,  1704,  and  Nicholas  and 
James,  twins,  bom  August  20,  1694,  both  of  whom  probably  died 
with  their  mother ;  second  to  Bridget  Williams,  to  whom  he  was 
published  September  25,  1695,  and  by  whom  he  had  two  children : 
Nicholas,  born  October  28,  1697,  and  Benjamin,  bom  November 
7,  1699 ;  the  latter  married  Deborah  Steams  of  Watertown,  and 
had  a  daughter,  Deborah,  who  was  buried  beside  her  parents  in 
Granary  Burying  Ground,  Boston,  but  there  is  no  record  of  their 
having  other  children. 

Nicholas  Salisbury  was  a  "  small  merchant "  at  Boston,  but  through 
his  children  became  connected  with  rising  and  socially  prominent 
families.  He  died  December  11,  1748,  at  Boston.  His  wife  was 
Martha,  daughter  of  Josiah  and  Rebecca  (Elbridge)  Saunders  of 
Boston,  who  was  bom  April  22,  1704,  at  Boston  and  died  there 
February  18,  1792.  They  had  seven  sons,  four  of  whom  died  in 
childhood  and  one  never  married.  The  sixth  son,  Samuel,  was 
twice  married  and  had  four  sons,  of  whom  one  died  in  infancy,  one 
died  unmarried,  and  a  third,  the  oldest,  Stephen,  married  twice, 
having  by  his  first  wife,  Maria  Morgan,  one  son  who  recently  died 
in  the  West  without  male  heirs ;  and  by  his  second  wife,  Xancy 
Gardner,  three  sons,  of  whom  one  died  in  infancy,  one  never  mar- 
ried, and  the  third,  Stephen,  died  in  1875,  leaving  one  son  now 
living  and  married  but  without  children.  Samuel's  fourth  son, 
Josiah,  had  one  son,  the  late  Edward  Elbridge  Salisbury  of  New 
Haven,  who  left  no  children.

326  Stephen  Salisbury.  [Oct. 

The  seventh  son  and  youngest  child  of  Nicholas  and  Martha 
(Saunders)  Salisbury  was  Stephen,  born  September  25,  1746,  at 
Boston,  died  May  11,  1829,  at  Worcester.  He  married,  January 
31,  1797,  at  the  age  of  fifty-one  years,  Elizabeth,  daughter  of 
Edward  and  Elizabeth  (Harris)  Tuokerman  of  Boston,  who  was 
born  January  30,  1768,  at  Boston  and  died  there  October  19,  1851. 
They  had  tlu*ee  children,  of  whom  but  one,  Stephen,  lived  to  adoles- 
cence. Stephen,  Jr.,  who  was  bom  March  8,  1798,  at  Worcester, 
and  died  there  August  24,  1884,  was  three  times  married: 
first,  November  7,  1833,  to  Rebekah  Scott,  daughter  of  Aaron  and 
Phila  (Walker)  Dean  of  Charlestown,  N.  H.,  who  was  bom 
December  21,  1812,  and  died  July  24,  1843;  second,  June  25, 
1850,  to  Mrs.  Nancy  (Hoard)  Lincoln,  widow  of  Captain  George 
Lincoln  of  Worcester  who  was  killed,  Febraary  23,  1847,  at  the 
battle  of  Buena  Vista  and  was  the  son  of  the  late  Governor  Levi 
Lincoln,  she  was  daughter  of  Silvius  and  Nancy  Mary  (DeVillers) 
Hoard  of  Ogdensburg,  N.  Y.,  was  bora  October  26,  1820,  at  Ant- 
werp, N.  Y.,  and  died  September  4,  1852,  at  Worcester,  having 
had  a  daughter  by  Mr.  Lincoln  but  no  child  by  Mr.  Salisbury; 
third,  June  2,  1856,  to  Mrs.  Mary  Grosvenor  Bangs,  widow  of 
Edward  Dillingham  Bangs  of  Worcester  who  died  April  21,  1838, 
and  daughter  of  Moses  and  Mary  (Sykes)  Grosvenor,  she  was  bom 
January  14,  1800,  at  North  Wilbraham,  and  died  September  25, 
1864,  at  Worcester,  without  children.  By  his  first  wife,  Rebekah 
Scott  Dean,  Mr.  Salisbury  had  one  child,  Stephen,  the  subject  of 
this  memoir,  who  was,  as  has  been  shown,  the  last  but  one  of  the 
surviving  descendants  of  John  Salisbury,  the  founder '  of  the 
family  so  far  as  it  has  been  traced,  to  bear  the  name  of  Salisbury, 
and  actually  the  last  of  the  Worcester  branch,  and,  he  dying  unmar- 
ried, this  old  and  honorable  New  England  family,  associated  for 
over  two  hundred  years  with  all  that  is  highest  and  best  in  New 
England  life,  connected  by  marriage  with  many  names  eminent  in 
colonial  and  national  history,  and  for  one  hundred  and  thirty  years 
representing  the  aristocracy  and  wealth  of  what  is  now  the  second 
city  of  Massachusetts,  has  thus  become  practically  extinct. 

The  first  Stephen  Salisbury  associated  himself  in  business  with 
his  eldest  brother,  Samuel,  under  the  name  of  S.  and  S.  Salisbury, 
as  merchants  in  Boston,  and  came  to  Worcester  in  1767,  at  the  age 
of  twenty-one,  to  establish  a  branch  of  the  parent  house,  while  his 
brother  remained  in  Boston  to  manage  the  business  there.  The  busi- 
ness was  large  and  lucrative,  and  he  left  to  his  son,  the  second  Stephen, 
a  fortune  which  by  the  natural  growth  of  the  town  and  by  wise  man- 
agement and 'judicious  investment  made  him  one  of  the  wealthiest 
men  in  Worcester  County.  He  in  turn  left  a  large  estate  to  his  son, 
Stephen,  who  treated  it  as  his  father  had  done,  more  as  a  trust  for 
the  benefit  of  his  townsmen  than  for  his  own  gratification.     Simple

in  tastes  and  nnostentations  in  manner  and  appearance,  not  earing 
for  display  and  unassuming  in  deportment,  both  father  and  son, 
though  bom  to  the  purple,  if  that  expression  may  be  applied  to 
American  life,  present  a  vivid  contrast  to  the  garishness  of  to-day, 
when  dollars  seem  to  count  for  more  than  birth  and  to  displace,  in 
the  vulgar  mind,  the  refinements  of  education  and  breeding.  It  is 
difficult  to  think  of  Worcester  without  a  Stephen  Salisbury,  for 
although  none  of  those  who  have  borne  the  name  have  been  promi- 
nent in  the  government  of  the  town,  their  influence  has  been  felt  in 
every  enterprise,  and  their  assistance  has  been  sought  and  freely 
given  in  all  worthy  charitable  and  educational  undertakings  and  in 
many  of  the  varied  business  ventures  of  that  busy  place. 

Stephen  Salisbury,  the  third,  was  left  motherless  at  the  age  of 
eight  years,  and  from  that  time  until  his  father's  death,  in  1884, 
his  character  was  moulded  more  by  his  father,  "whose  sole  con- 
stant companion  he  was,"  as  he  himself  says,  "for  more  than  thirty 
years,"  than  by  any  other  influence.  He  first  attended,  at  the  age 
of  six,  a  private  infant  school  kept  by  Mrs.  Levi  Heywood,  but 
was  taken  by  his  parents,  during  the  following  winter,  1841-2,  to 
Savannah,  Ga.  Upon  his  return  he  was  placed  in  the  private 
school  of  Mrs.  Jonathan  Wood,  and,  in  1844,  was  sent  to  Boston 
to  attend  Miss  Bradford's  school  for  boys,  where  he  remained  a 
year,  when  he  returned  to  Worcester  and  entered  the  public  schools, 
ending  with  the  Worcester  High  School,  from  which  he  entered 
Harvard  College  in  the  class  of  1856,  and  received  the  degrees  of 
A.B.  and  A.M.  in  due  course.  After  graduation  he  studied  for  a 
winter  at  the  Frederick  William  University  in  Berlin,  and  attended 
lectures  at  the  Ecole  de  Droit  in  Paris,  and,  in  the  summer  of  1857, 
travelled  extensively  in  Europe,  extending  his  trip  to  Turkey, 
Greece  and  Asia  Minor.  During  the  following  winter  he  resumed 
his  studies  in  Berlin,  and,  in  the  spring,  in  company  with  his  father's 
family,  visited  Great  Britain.  Returning  to  Worcester  in  1858, 
after  an  absence  of  more  than  two  years,  he  became  a  student  of 
law  in  the  Harvard  Law  School,  where  he  received  the  degree  of 
LL.B.  in  1861.  In  the  following  winter  he  visited  his  classmate 
David  Casares,  in  Yucatan,  and  there  laid  the  foundation  for  his 
interest  in  American  archaeology  which  persisted  during  his  life. 
He,  later,  furnished  means  for  extensive  exploration  of  existing 
ruins  in  Central  America,  and  contributed  many  articles  concerning 
them  to  the  American  Antiquarian  Society,  which  he  afterwards 
published  in  three  books  on  Maya  antiquities,  namely,  in  1877, 
"The  Mayas  and  the  Source  of  their  History,"  in  1879,  "Maya 
Archeology  and  Notes  on  Yucatan,"  and  in  1880,  "Maya  History 
and  Mexican  Copper  Tools."  In  these  books  he  gave  the  results 
of  his  own  observations  and  translations  of  the  reports  of  the  men 
who,  under  his  encouragement,  carried  on  the  exploration. 


328  Stephen  Salisbury.  [Oct. 

Returning  to  Worcester  he  entered  the  law  office  of  Dewey  and 
Williams,  and  was  admitted  to  the  Worcester  County  Bar  in  Octo- 
ber, 1863,  but  he  never  actively  practiced  his  profession,  which  he 
had  studied  to  prepare  himself  for  the  care  of  the  large  estate  of  his 
father  which  he  was  to  inherit  and  through  which  he  was  called  to 
many  positions  of  trust  and  responsibility  which  fully  occupied  his 
time.  With  the  exception  of  a  second  visit  to  Yucatan  and  Mexico 
in  1885,  and  a  trip  to  Europe  in  1888,  and  another  in  1890,  he 
passed  the  remainder  of  his  life  in  Worcester.  After  his  father's 
death  in  1884  he  lived  alone,  a  simple  bachelor's  life,  not  given 
much  to  entertainment  though  hospitable  and  fond  of  company, 
especially  of  that  of  the  young. 

Though  of  strong  patriotic  feelings  he  did  not  serve  in  the  war 
of  the  Kebellion,  his  father  requiring  his  services  at  home.  He 
was  drafted  in  1863,  but  furnished  a  substitute.  In  December, 
1863,  he  was  elected  to  the  Worcester  Common  Council,  and  served 
for  three  years,  being  president  of  the  board  in  1866.  In  1892  he 
was  elected  to  the  Massachusetts  Senate,  and  was  twice  re-elected, 
serving  in  1893j  '94  and  '95.  He  was  chairman  of  the  committees 
on  education,  on  banks  and  banking,  and  on  the  treasury,  and  a 
member  of  the  committee  on  libraries.  He  was  a  member  of  the 
sinking  fund  commission  of  Worcester,  from  1889  until  his  death, 
and  a  trustee  of  Worcester  City  Hospital  from  1871  to  1889,  and 
secretary  of  the  board  for  all  but  one  year  of  that  time.  Aside 
from  these  he  held  no  public  offices,  declining  a  nomination  for 
alderman  after  his  service  in  the  Council,  and  frequently  refusing 
to  be  nominated  for  mayor ;  but  he  always  took  an  interest  in  pub- 
lic affairs,  and  was,  by  general  consent,  the  most  public  spirited 
citizen  of  Worcester.  He  was  always  a  republican  in  politics,  and 
was  chief  marshal  of  the  republican  parade  in  Worcester  in  the 
presidential  campaign  of  1896.  His  financial  interests  occupied 
much  of  his  time,  and  he  was  connected  as  director  or  trustee  with 
many  corporations  of  a  semi-public  nature  and  served  them  all 
faithfully  and  well.  He  succeeded  his  father,  in  1884,  as  president 
of  the  Worcester  National  Bank,  which  office  he  held  at  his  death. 
He  became  president  of  the  Worcester  County  Institution  for  Sav- 
ings in  1882,  and  retained  that  office  until  1905,  when  he  was 
obliged  to  resign  by  the  law  prohibiting  one  man  from  serving  as 
president  of  a  national  and  a  savings  bank.  He  succeeded  his 
father  as  trustee  of  the  Worcester  Polytechnic  Institute,  and  became 
president  of  the  trustees  in  1895,  and  held  that  office  until  October, 
1905,  when  he  refused  a  re-election  as  the  condition  of  his  health 
required  a  release  from  some  of  his  active  duties.  At  the  same 
time  and  for  the  same  reason  he  resigned  as  vice-president  of  the 
trustees  of  Clark  University,  where  he  had  been  serving  as  virtual 
president  since  the  death  of  the  late  Senator  Hoar.

He  was  bj  no  means  a  brilliant  man,  being  rather  slow  of  thought 
and  hesitating  in  speech,  but  he  generally  said  the  right  thing  at 
the  right  time  and  was  frequently  felicitous  in  his  use  of  the  right 
words  to  express  his  ideas.  Though  always  interested  in  historical 
studies  he  wrote  but  little ;  his  books  on  the  Mayas,  already  men- 
tioned, and  a  memorial  volume  on  his  father,  which  was  largely  a 
compilation,  being  all  that  he  published.  He  was  a  member  of  the 
Massachusetts  Historical  Society,  the  American  Antiquarian  Society, 
of  which  he  was  president  from  1887  until  his  death,  the  American 
Geographical  Society,  the  Archaeological  Institute  of  America,  the 
Worcester  Society  of  Antiquity,  the  Sociedad  Mexicana  de  Geogra- 
fia  y  Estadistica,  the  Conservatorio  Yucatano,  and  the  New  England 
Historic  Genealogical  Society,  which  last  he  joined,  as  a  life  mem- 
ber, April  3,  1889. 

To  Mr.  Salisbury's  public  spirit  Worcester  owes  the  deepest 
gratitude.  He  was  liberal  and  bounteous  in  his  public  and  private 
charities,  and  his  support  of  public  institutions  was  almost  unlim- 
ited both  in  the  money  and  time  which  he  gave  to  them.  He  gave 
much  to  the  Worcester  Polytechnic  Institute,  as  had  his  father 
before  him,  and  presented  a  large  tract  of  land  to  the  city  for  a 
public  park  upon  which  he  expended  much  for  its  development.  He 
laid  out  with  great  wisdom  the  greater  portion  of  his  home  estate, 
which  with  its  unoccupied  acreage  had  hitherto  been  rather  a  hind- 
rance to  the  growth  of  the  city  in  that  direction,  and  succeeded,  by 
liberal  gifts  of  land  and  money  and  by  his  wise  and  liberal  policy 
of  development,  in  making  it,  with  its  group  of  public  and  semi- 
public  buildings  and  pleasant  homes,  a  most  attractive  residence 
quarter.  His  crowning  work  was  the  Worcester  Art  Museum 
which  he  was  instrumental  in  having  established,  to  which  he  con- 
tributed lavishly  during  his  life  and  which,  by  his  munificent  bequest 
at  his  death,  should  eventually  make  Worcester  the  possessor  of 
one  of  the  finest  and  most  important  art  collections  in  the  country. 

Some  have  criticised  his  gifts  of  land  as  being  but  a  means  to  the 
increase  of  his  own  wealth,  and,  undoubtedly,  it  did  enhance  the 
value  of  his  remaining  real  estate,  but  wealth  was  not  what  he 
cared  for.  His  own  life  was  most  simple  and  unobtrusive  and  his 
personal  wants  but  few.  He  had  no  sympathy  for  display,  no 
taste  for  ostentation.  He  was  thoroughly  old-fashioned  in  his  ideas, 
and  modem  manners  and  methods  made  him,  in  late  life,  rather 
pessimistic.  His  whole  \i%  was  a  protest  against  the  present  vul- 
garity of  riches.  His  sense  of  duty  was  extreme  and  governed  all 
his  actions,  so  much  so  that  he  often  sacrificed  his  comfort  to  it, 
and  his  generosity  was  but  the  expression  of  this  sense  of  duty, 
of  the  feeling  that  his  wealth  was  a  public  trust  which  he  should 
administer  for  the  public  good.

JOHN  SOLENDINE  OF  DUNSTABLE,  MASS.,  AND  HIS 
DESCENDANTS. 

By  Ethel  Stamwood  Boltoic,  B.A.,  of  Shirley,  Mass. 

1.  John*  Solendine,  a  carpenter  by  trade,  was  a  settler  at  Dunstable, 
Mass.,  about  1 674.  No  definite  facts  are  known  of  his  former  residence, 
either  in  this  country  or  in  England,  but  he  seems  to  have  associated  upon 
terms  of  equality  with  the  Tyngs,  Ushers,  and  other  prominent  families  of 
Dunstable.  In  1682,  he  "  was  engaged  to  complete  the  unfinished  meeting- 
house, which  was  probably  but  little  more  than  a  log  shanty ;  *  "  he  also 
built  the  first  bridge  across  Salmon  Brook.  The  first  marriage  entered 
upon  the  records  of  the  town  was  that  of  John  Solendine  and  Elizabeth

Usher,  on  August  2, 1680.*  Elisabeth  Usher  was  the  daughter  of  Robert 
Usher  of  Stamford,  Conn.,  and  his  wife  Elizabeth  the  widow  of  Jeremy 
Jagger8,t  and  a  niece  of  Hezekiah  Usher  of  Dunstable.  Robert  Usher 
had  died  when  Elizabeth  was  still  a  young  girl,  and  had  left  her  in  charge 
of  her  uncle.  John  Solendine  and  his  wife  settled  in  Dunstable,  where  his 
four  children  were  bom.  He  lived  in  a  fortified  house.  In  1692,  Maj. 
Thomas  Hinchman,  who  commanded  all  the  troops  in  that  part  of  the 
Province,  sent  a  petition  to  the  General  Court,  in  which  he  states  that 
*^  all  y®  Inhabitants  of  Dunstable  excepting  2  familys  desire  to  draw  off, 
viz  Jno  Sollendine  &  Thos  LuS  whose  Garrisons  are  nere  to  each  other, 

these  seem  willing  to themselves  with  10  or  12  sould"."     John 

Solendine  stayed,  and  as  late  as  1711  resided  in  one  of  the  seven  fortiBed 
houses  in  Dunstable,  with  four  soldiers  regularly  quartered  there.  About 
the  time  of  his  marriage,  his  wife's  uncle,  Hezekiah  Usher,  bought  of  Major 
Simon  Willard  three  fourths  of  "  Nonacoicus  Farm,"  now  a  part  of  the 
town  of  Ayer,  Mass.  At  that  time  "  Nonacoicus  "  was  partly  in  Groton 
and  partly  in  Harvard,  its  northern  boundary  being  the  brook  still  called 
Nonacoicus.  Willard  had  built  a  blockhouse  on  the  farm,  and  the  Ushers 
took  possession  of  it,  and  lived  there.  This  farm  bore  a  rather  prominent 
part  in  the  fortunes  of  the  Solendines.

2.  John*  Solendine  (John})  was  born  in  Dunstable,  May  8,  1683. 
Of  his  early  life  little  is  known,  but  he  evidently  followed  the 
Ushers  to  Groton,  for,  some  time  before  1718,  he  married  Susanna 
Woods. $  According  to  a  deed§  she  was  the  daughter  of  Samuel 
Woods  of  Groton,  and  a  sister  of  Samuel  Woods,  Jr.,  of  Alice  Woods, 
of  Rachel  wife  of  Jonathan  Whitcomb,  and  Mary  wife  of  John 
Goss.  The  Ushers  had  left  Groton  some  time  before  John  Solen- 
dine went  there,  for  after  the  death  of  his  great-uncle  Hezekiah, 
Hezekiah  Usher,  Jr.,  his  son  and  executor,  had  sold  Nonacoicus  to 
Jonathan  Tyng  of  Dunstable.  The  younger  Usher  was  a  prosperous 
merchant  of  Boston.  The  indenture  relating  to  the  sale  was  signed 
on  May  11,  1687,  "between  Hezekiah  Usher,  of  Boston,  Merchant, 
Heir  and  Executor  of  Hezeziah  Usher  late  of  Boston,  deceased," 
and  Jonathan  Tyng  of  Dunstable  guardian  of  John  Tyng  "  his  son 
&  Heir  apparent  &  intrust  to  &  for  y*  s**  Jn**  Tyng  one  of  the  Grand- 
children of  y®  said  Hezekiah  Usher  deceased."  0 

In  1713,  John  Solendine,  and  Henry  Farwell  of  Dunstable,  bought 
from  Jonathan  Tyng  the  part  of  "  Nonacoicus  Farm  "  which  had 
formerly  belonged  to  his  great-unclelT  Hezekiah  Usher.     To  this

b.  Feb.  25,  1659-60,  Robert,  Mehitahle,  and  SaroA;  and  married  second,  Elizabeth 
Symms.    He  was  a  member  of  the  General  Court  in  1665,1667.

they  added  seventy  acres  south-east  of  the  farm,  which  woald  be  in 
the  town  of  Harvard.  He  apparently,  at  the  time  or  soon  after, 
settled  on  his  farm,  where  he  remained  for  the  rest  of  his  life.  He 
was  a  very  active  real  estate  operator,  his  holdings  being  in  at  least 
four  towns — Groton,  Shirley,  Harvard  and  Lancaster. 

In  1738,  John  Solendine  died  intestate,  aged  55  years,  and  on  Mar. 
12, 1739,  his  widow  Susanna  was  granted  letters  of  administraUon.* 
The  total  property  was  valued  at  £1523:  18:  4.  The  land  <<  ad- 
joining Bartlett "  still  bears  his  name,  and  is  known  in  Shirley  as 
'*  the  Solendine  Meadows,"  or  '^  Gellendine  "  as  some  deeds  have  it.

3.  John'  Solendine  {John,*  John})  was  born  in  Groton,  Nov.  10,  1729. 

In  1738,  when  their  father's  estate  was  administered,  he  and  his 
brother  Isaac  were  both  called  of  Lancaster,  where  they  probably  re- 
sided with  their  mother  and  step-father,  John  Haughton.  Just  after 
John'  came  of  age,  his  father  s  estate  was  finally  distributed,  and 
he  received  two  pieces  of  land  in  Shirley,  on  one  of  which  was  the 
"  Solendine  Meadows.''  He  built  a  house  in  Shirley,  after  his  mar- 
riage in  Groton,  on  June  17,  1752,  with  Dorcas  Whipple,  but  they 
had  a  short  married  life.  The  following  year  Mrs.  Solendine  gave 
birth  to  twins,  and  died  almost  immediately  after.  The  daughter 
Dorcas  died  the  same  year ;  and  not  long  after,  John'  and  his  young 
son  moved  to  Lancaster.  In  1761,  John  Solendine  was  serving  on 
the  western  frontier  of  the  colonies,  under  Capt.  Richard  Salton- 
stall,  with  many  other  Lancaster  men.  He  died  Apr.  17,  1766,  in 
Lancaster.

6.  U.     John,  b.  May  22,  1763,  in  Shirley. 

4.  Isaac'  Solendine  {John,*  John^)  was  bom  in  Groton,  Apr.  18,  1732. 

He  was  only  six  years  old  when  his  father  died,  and  at  least  until 
1744  he  was  allowed  to  live  with  his  mother.  In  the  latter  year, 
Manassah  Divol,  his  oldest  sister's  husband,  petitioned  the  Court 
and  obtained  the  guardianship  of  Isaac  and  his  sister  Sarah.t  No 
sooner  had  Isaac  reached  his  majority,  however,  than  the  specu- 
lative spirit  of  his  father  seized  him,  and  he  began  to  buy  real  estate. 
He  bought  and  sold  land  in  Lancaster,  Leominster,  Rutland  and 
other  towns  until  1804.  In  that  year  Jacob  Fisher,  William  Wilder 
and  John  Prentiss,  Selectmen  of  Lancaster,  petitioned  the  Court  to

Idleness  <&c.  so  spend,  waste  find  lesson  his  Estate,  as  thereby  to 
expose  himself  to  want  &  suffering  circumstances."* 

Isaac  Solendine  never  married,  so  far  as  is  known.  He  bought 
a  farm  near  his  brother  John,  in  1758,t  but  in  1762  he  sold  it  again, 
and  followed  his  brother  to  Lancaster,  where  he  lived  the  remain- 
der of  his  life.  He  died  in  Lancaster,  of  consumption,  Sept.  16, 
1806,  aged  75  years. 

5.  John*  Solendine  (Jokn,^  John^  John})  was  bom  in  Shirley,  Mass., 

May  22,  1753.  As  a  young  boy,  after  the  death  of  his  mother,  he 
was  taken  to  Lancaster  by  his  father,  and  there  he  spent  the  rest 
of  his  life.  His  intention  of  marriage  with  Susanna  Farwell  was 
published  May  8,  1773.  He  died  of  pleurisy,  Feb.  25,  1807,  aged 
55  years.  On  Mar.  4,  1808,  his  widow  committed  suicide,  at  the 
house  of  her  son-in-law,  Calvin  Wilder.

6.  Manassah*  Solendine  (John,^  John^^  John^  John})  was  Iwrn  about 

1780,  in  Lancaster.  He  married,  Jan.  1,  1804,  Deborah  Fairbanks 
of  Bolton.  His  six  children  were  all  bom  in  Lancaster,  where  he 
lived  until  1823.  On  Feb.  1 1  of  that  year,  James  Parker,  Jr.,  of 
8hirley,  wrote  in  his  diary,  '*  Manassah  Soulendine  moved  into  the 
Frost  Farm."  This  farm  was  on  the  banks  of  the  Nashua,  in  ^'  Pine 
Plain,"  lying  north  of  the  Catecoonemaug  in  Shirley.  Two  years 
later,  Adeline,  his  second  daughter,  went  to  James  Parker,  Jr.'s,  to 
live  and  work,  and  on  June  10,  1825,  Mr.  Parker  wrote,  ''Abra- 
ham Durant  and  Adeline  Solendine  were  married  at  my  house  and 
went  off :  moved  to  Westford  same  day." 

On  Nov.  8,  1827,  Deborah,  wife  of  Manassah  Solendine,  died  of 
consumption,  aged  46  years,  and  two  years  later  her  daughter  Ce- 
linda  died.  Manassah  wrote  to  the  Hon.  Nathaniel  Paine,  Judge  of 
Probate,  that  it  was  "  iuconvenient "  for  him  to  administer  the 
estate,  and  requested  that  Jacob  Foster  be  appointed.  He  is  called 
then  of  Lancaster,  and  it  is  probable  that  he  moved  to  his  native 
town  after  the  death  of  his  wife. 

On  Aug.  16,  1832,  Manassah   Solendine  died  of  consumption. 
His  wife's  gravestone  is  the  only  one  remaining  in  Lancaster  which 
bears  the  Solendine  name.

Livery  to  which  he  belonged,  and  from  this  the  record  of  apprenticeship  can 
be  obtained,  giving  age,  parentage  and  place  of  birth. 

The  book  from  which  this  Information  is  taken  has  no  title  page  nor  is  it 
dated,  but  it  was  made  about  1801-2,  Sir  John  Eamer,  knt.,  being  Lord  Mayor. 

The  names  In  the  body  of  the  book  are  under  wards  and  streets,  then  follows 
that  part  of  London  outside  the  city,  next  the  near  counties,  then  the  distant 
counties,  Wales  and  Scotland,  and  finally  a  list  of  the  Liverymen  whose  ad*> 
dresses  are  unknown  or  are  abroad. 

Tiiose  who  are  stated  to  be  in  America  or  abroad  are  here  printed,  but  some 
of  the  others  may  have  been  in  America,  unknown  to  the  Clerk  of  the  Company, 
so  the  list  might  repay  a  search  for  any  individual  In  America  thought  to  have 
come  from  England.

Thobcas  Mallet,  of  Newport,  R.  I.,  "came  from  Great  Marlow  in  y» 
county  of  Buckingham,  Old  England,  and  departed  this  life  in  the  year  of  oar 
Lord  1704  on  on  y*  16  day  of  Janaary  and  in  y«  56  year  of  his  age,"  as  his  grave- 
stone in  Trinity  Church  graveyard,  Newport,  tells  us.  He  left  no  children,  bat 
was  survived  by  his  widow  Mary,  who  was  bom  In  1664,  married  first,  proba- 
bly In  1682,  Samuel  Wilcox  of  Dartmouth,  who  died  before  June  9,  1702, ♦  mar- 
ried second,  Thomas  Mallet,  married  third,  John  Sanford  of  Newport,  and  died 
at  Newport,  Dec.  16,  1721,  in  the  67th  year  of  her  age  according  to  her  grave- 
stone Inscription,  on  Jan.  15, 1722,  according  to  the  petition  below.  Her  grave- 
stone in  the  Common  Buring  Ground  on  Farewell  Street,  Newport,  bears  an 
armorial  design  and  is  described  In  TTCe  Heraldic  Journal,  vol.  ill. 

William*  Wood  (JbAn*)  of  Portsmouth,  R.  I.,  married  Martha*  Earle  (Ralph*) 
of  Portsmouth,  as  shown  by  Ralph*  Earle's  will,  dated  Nov.  19,  1673.  WiUiam* 
Wood  moved  to  Dartmouth,  Mass.,  and  there  died  In  1697.  The  Inventory  of 
his  estate  was  taken  in  July  of  that  year,  and  the  estate  divided  among  his  ten 
children,  viz.:  I.  William  Wood;  II.  George  Wood;  iil.  Joslah  Wood;  Iv. 
Daniel  Wood ;  v.  John  Wood ;  vi.  Joseph  Wood ;  vil.  Mr.  MalleVs  wife ;  vlli. 
Sarah  Wood ;  Ix.  Margaret  Wood ;  x.  Rebecca  Wood.  (Austin's  Gen.  Diet,  of 
R.  I.,  p.  231.) 

Hence  the  name  of  Thomas  Mallet's  wife  Mary  was  Mary  Wood.  By  her 
first  husband,  Samuel  Wilcox  (son  of  Daniel  and  Elizabeth  (Cook)  Wilcox*) 
she  had  three  children,  whose  births,  as  children  '*  of  Samuel  Willcocks,"  are 
recorded  at  Dartmouth,  Mass.  They  were:  Jeremiah,  born  Sept.  24,  1683; 
William,  born  Feb.  2,  1685;  and  Mary,  born  Feb.  14,  1688.t  William  evidently 
died  young.  Jeremiah  and  Mary  appear  at  various  dates  In  Newport  Land 
Evidences  -,%  *nd  in  Oct.,  1728,  Jeremiah  Wilcox,  the  only  son  of  Mary  Sand  ford

Brooks,  whose  dec'd  wife  Mary  (formerly  Mary  Wilcox)  was  the  only  daughter

Bethuxe. — In  the  article  on  George  Bethune,  antCt  page  238,  Mr.  Noyes 
states  that  Bethune  came  to  Boston  about  1710,  and  was  a  member  of  the  Scots 
Charitable  Society.  He  was  indeed  a  member  of  that  Society,  joining  in  1705, 
and  was  in  Boston  earlier  than  that  year,  having  been  a  witness  on  11  Oct., 
1703,  to  a  document  signed  by  William  Glbbins. 

Mr.  Noyes  does  not  mention  the  parish  in  Scotland  from  whence  Bethune 
came,  neither  is  it  mentioned  by  Mrs.  John  A.  Weisse  in  her  history  of  the  Be- 
thune family.  William  Bethune,  advocate,  had  the  estate  of  Cralgfoodie  in  a 
parish  of  Fifeshire  called  Dairsle.  It  is  two  miles  north-east  of  Cupar.  In 
Dairsie  Castle  lived  Archbishop  Spottlswood,  and  there  he  wrote  his  Church 
History  of  Scotland.  In  the  parish  are  also  two  hills  of  moderate  height, 
Foodie  and  Cralgfoodie,  both  being  remarlcable  for  bearing  crops  nearly  to 
their  summits.  That  of  Cralgfoodie  is  554  feet  high,  parts  of  it  being  known 
as  Easter  and  Wester  Cralgfoodie.  Five  miles  north-west  of  Cupar  is  Creich, 
of  which  the  Bethunes  were  lairds. 

William  Bethune,  advocate,  of  Cralgfoodie,  made  his  will  in  1703,  and  died 
in  1706.  In  the  "  Iiiqulsitioiuim  Ketornatarura  Abbrevlatio"  we  tlnd  under 
date  of  10  May,  1G80,  "  Maglster  Gulielmus  Beathune  de  Craigfuldle  advocatus, 
hacres  Jacobi  Beathune  fllii  Roberti  Beathune  de  Bandorie,  fratrls,— In  annuo- 
redditn  100  1.  de  villa  et  terrls  dc  Coull ;  in  torris  de  Easter  Leathrisk,  in  speclale 
warraiitum  dlctiie  villao  ct  terrarum  de  Coull." 

George  Bethune  purchased  the  estate  on  the  south  corner  of  Washington 
and  Suimner  streets,  Boston,  in  1724,  and  there  erected  a  brick  house  which  stood 
for  over  a  century  in  the  possession  of  the  family,  and  was  known  as  Be- 
thune's  Corner.  A  description  of  the  house  shows  it  to  have  been  a  tine  exam- 
ple of  the  dwellings  of  that  period.  Walter  Kendall  Watkins.

Field  in  1643,  a  Village  Hall  for  .i;<Mieral  purposes,  on  a  plot  of  ground  within 
the  Vicarage  Glebe.  The  Vicar  lias  offered  the  site,  and  tlie  Patrons  (the  Dean

with  the  exception  of  the  ••  Miscellaneous  Data"  which  consist  of  ^'  discon-

This  narrative  was  written  by  some  person  in  his  eighty-flf  th  year  whose  name 

it  has  been  impossible  to  ascertain.    Though  including  accounts  of  the  battles 

of  Trenton  and  Princeton,  it  affords  no  new  information  respecting  either.    Its 

importance  consists  in  its  relation  of  facts  regarding  the  '*  twenty-six  days 

tyranny  "  of  the  British  and  Hessian  occupation  of  Princeton.    The  notes  of  the 

editor,  Mr.  V.  L.  Collins,  Reference  Librarian  of  Princeton  University  Library,

This  regiment,  commanded  by  Col.  William  Raymond  Lee,  was  known  as  the 
Harvard  Regiment  from  the  fact  that  a  large  proportion  of  its  officers  were 
young  men  from  Harvard  College.    Its  services  were  of  the  most  notable 
character,  and  it  is  the  fifth  on  the  list  of  regiments  that  encountered  the  heavi- 
est losses.    The  engagement  at  Ball's  Bluff,  in  which  this  regiment  partook  and 
which  was  particularly  fatal  to  Massachusetts  men,  is  related  with  what  the 
author  considers  undue  prolixity,  but  which  he  says  **  is  the  only  correct  and 
complete  history  of  it  that  he  has  ever  seen."    The  record  of  the  actions  of  the 
regiment,  which  is  compiled  from  official  reports,  general  and  regimental  his- 
tories, and  newspapers,  is  supplemented  by  the  Roster.

ADDRESS  OF  THE  PRESIDENT. 


Fellow  Members  of  the  New  England 

Historic  Genealogical  Society  : 
It  has  long  been  the  custom  for  the  president  to  make  an  annual 
address  to  the  Society,  though  I  have  sometimes  thought  that  per- 
haps it  was  a  custom  that  might  be  more  honored  in  the  breach  than 
the  observance,  inasmuch  as  it  seems  to  be  expected  that  the  presi- 
dent shall  review  the  proceedings  of  the  year,  which  have  already 
been  fully  set  forth  in  the  various  reports.  Last  year  the  incongrui- 
ty of  presenting  the  same  facts  in  three  different  forms  suggested 
to  the  Society  the  propriety  of  printing  the  reports  instead  of  read- 
ing them  to  those  of  the  Society  present,  and  this  suggestion  was 
adopted  and  the  reports  accordingly  printed.  As  it  is  wholly 
unnecessary  for  me  to  repeat  what  is  of  necessity  embodied  in  the 
reports,  I  shall  only  touch  upon  a  few  points  in  them  to  which  I 
desire  to  call  particular  attention ;  and,  first,  the  house  we  live  in, 
which  we  all  realize  has  been  outgrown  by  the  Society,  and  is 
wholly  inadequate  to  its  requirements.  Not  only  are  we  crowded 
for  space  but  we  are  exposed  to  danger  fSrom  fire,  and  the  loss  of  our 
library  and  collections  would  be  irreparable.  Fortunately,  we  have 
acquired  sufficient  land  in  the  rear  of  our  building  to  enable  us  to 
erect  thereon  a  fire-proof  structure  for  our  library,  and  should  our 
property  not  be  taken  for  public  use,  we  should,  during  the  year, 
take  some  steps  towards  building.  Our  finances  are  in  extremely 
good  condition,  and  we  have  reason  to  be  pleased  that  we  have  this 
year  lived  within  our  appropriations,  a  consummation  devoutly  to  be 
wished  hereafter.  Our  library  too,  shows  a  healthy  growth,  and 
the  Librarian  and  Committee  in  charge  are  entitled  to  no  small 
measure  of  credit  for  their  able  and  intelligent  conduct  of  its  affairs. 


z  n;  b.  historic  genealoqical  societt. 

The  same  may  be  said  of  the  editor  of  the  Registeb  and  your  Publi- 
cation Committee ;  in  fact,  all  of  your  active  committees  merit  the 
regards  of  the  Society. 

Genealogy  is  now  generally  considered  a  legitimate  subject  of  study. 
Fifty  years  ago  this  was  far  from  the  case,  and  those  who  gave  them- 
selves only  in  a  moderate  degree  to  this  branch  of  history,  were  looked 
upon  as  at  least  erratic.     Now,  however,  a  man  can  hardly  be  re- 
garded as  educated  who  does  not  know  something  of  his  own  family 
history,  and  something,  too,  of  that  of  the  larger  characters  of  his- 
tory, for  education,  once  confined  to  the  narrowest  limits,  has  over- 
leaped its  bounds  and  now  finds  the  widest  fields  of  knowledge  all 
too  narrow  for  its  exploration.     Even  the  imagination,  once  the 
unquestioned  prerogative  of  Art,  has  been  made  tributary  to  Science, 
and  may  now  be  as  legitimately  employed  by  an  Agassiz  and  a 
Pierce,  as  by  a  Longfellow  and  a  Holmes.     At  the  same  time,  we 
are  far  from  being  an  educated  people  in  a  real  sense.     Our  system 
of  popular  education  has  produced  imperfect  fruit ;  indeed,  much  of 
the  product  of  our  colleges  and  universities  is  coarse  and  unsound. 
How  many  men  who  boast  a  diploma  are  devoid  of  that  ethical 
sense  which  is  the  test  of  true  culture.     The  other  day  a  party  of 
young  men,  higher  classmeii  in  one  of  our  colleges,  who  had  evi- 
dently been  participants  in  a  football  game,  entered  a  car  upon 
which  I  was  coming  to  Boston.     Proceeding  at  once  to  monopolize 
the  vacant  places,  they  sprawled  over  the  seats,  placing  their  feet  in 
many  instances  over  the  backs  of  those  in  front  of  them,  and  by 
loud  talk,  snatches  of  college  songs,  and  horse  play  made  themselves 
obnoxious  to  their  fellow  travellers.     I  wondered  if  an  intelligent  for- 
eigner would  not  have  supposed  these  fellows  to  have  been  descendants 
of  one  of  our  aboriginal  tribes,  rather  than  of  respectable  American 
families,  and  I  wondered  still  farther  what  they  would  be  likely  to 
become  when  they  entered  upon  the  real  business  of  life.     Cer- 
tainly, most  of  them  could  never  become  cultivated,  well  balanced 
christian  gentlemen ;  rather  would  they,  the  spiritual  side  of  their 
nature  having  in  the  process  of  their  education  been  left  fallow,  be- 
come exploiters  of    selfish  business  schemes,    attaches  of  yellow 
journalism,  and  political  bosses,  to  whom  all  games,  if  successful, 
are  orthodox ;  in  other  words,  apt  devotees  of  commercialism,  to 
use  a  popular  and  expressive  term,  which  embodies  all  forms  of 
greed  for  gain,  and  of  which  the  consummate  flower  is  graft.     Yes, 


ADDRESS   OF   THE   PRESIDENT.  XI 

with  all  our  boasted  devotion  to  education,  we  are  still  far  from  be- 
ing an  educated  people.  We  have  learned  enough  to  use  slang 
more  copiously  and  more  graphically  than  it  was  ever  Used  before 
by  any  people,  and  to  exploit  fads  most  convincingly  to  shallow 
thinkers ;  but  having  neglected  moral  and  religious  education  in  the 
schools,  we  are  losing  our  morals  and  our  faith.  It  seems  to  me 
that  the  most  crying  need  of  the  time  is  education  in  morals,  par- 
ticularly that  phase  of  morals  relating  to  one's  private  and  public 
duties.  In  these  respects  the  moral  sense  seems  to  have  become 
woefully  blunted. 

So  strong  has  the  spirit  of  commercialism  become,  that  a  man 
cannot  perform  a  service  to  a  fellow  man,  and  especially  to  the 
public,  without  being  suspected  of  being  influenced  by  selfish 
motives;  in  fact,  men  as  a  rule  wholly  fail  to  recognize  disin- 
terestedness in  any  service,  hence  men  of  character  very  largely 
refuse  to  accept  public  office  in  which  they  might  render  valuable 
service,  because  they  shrink  from  attracting  to  themselves  the  at- 
tention of  illnatured  critics,  which  would  not  only  render  them 
personally  uncomfortable,  but  tend  to  lower  them  in  the  esteem  of 
their  fellows.  Party  papers,  whose  only  function  should  be  tp  in- 
struct their  readers  in  the  principle  of  their  party,  showing  by  fair 
arguments  their  superiority  over  those  of  their  opponents,  are  largely 
responsible  for  this ;  too  many  of  them  ignoring  argument  and  in- 
dulging in  inuendo  and  personal  criticism  bordering  often  upon 
libel.  Nothing  debauches  public  morals  and  lowers  the  character 
of  public  service  more  than  this,  and  if  the  boycott  is  ever  justifiable, 
it  should  be  applied  to  papers  which  resort  to  such  reprehensible 
methods. 

I  have  intimated  that  commercialism  has  invaded  every  field  of 
human  activity,  even  people  who  were  taught  in  older  fashioned 
times  to  regard  the  ballot  as  a  sacred  thing  to  be  used  only  in 
promoting  the  public  welfare,  have  found  out  that  it  really  pos- 
sesses commercial  value  and  employ  it  for  private  advantage.  I 
have  been  astounded  at  this  new  phase  of  graft.  Said  an  alderman 
in  a  good  New  England  city  to  me,  Mr.  X  has  withdrawn  his  trade 
from  me  much  so  my  loss,  because  I  failed  to  get  his  street  paved. 
This  attracted  my  attention,  and  investigation  disclosed  the  fact  that 
men  owning  property  upon  some  street  frequently  traded  their  votes 
in  order  to  secure  the  nomination  or  election  of  men  who  would

the  subject  of  the  duties  of  citizenship.  Such  works  as  "  The  Citizen

would  Ix;  incalculable,  because  it  would  put  them  on  the  highway  to 
the  knowledge  that  the  man  who  holds  a  ballot  has  had  bestowed 
upon  him  by  the  nation  a  sacred  trust  to  be  used  solely,  in  accor- 
dance with  his  best  light,  for  the  public  good.  To  use  his  ballot 
for  personal  profit  renders  a  man  mi  worthy  of  the  franchise.

REPORT  OF  THE  COUNCIL. 


Prepared  bj  Albbbt  Matthxws,  A3. 

The  subject  of  names  is  a  large  one,  and  has  been  treated  fie- 
qaently  and  extensively.  Nevertheless,  it  will  perhaps  be  possible, 
in  brief  space,  to  throw  out  some  suggestions  which  may  prove 
of  value  to  the  members  of  a  society  like  this.  Do  not  some  of  us, 
in  our  genealogical  researches,  feel  that  our  labor  is  in  a  somewhat 
narrow  field  ?  The  facts  we  accumulate  about  a  certain  person  are 
doubtless  of  extreme  interest  to  ourselves  and  to  the  descendants 
and  family  of  that  person,  but  are  they  so  to  others  ?  Can  we  not 
broaden  die  field,  and  so  make  the  labor  more  interesting  at  onoe 
to  ourselves  and  to  others  ? 

Let  us  consider  for  a  moment  the  matter  of  Christian  names. 
There  are  instances  of  double  names  in  the  seventeenth  century, 
and  they  were  perhaps  more  common  in  the  eighteenth  century  than 
is  generally  supposed.  At  that  time,  they  were  apparently  more 
frequently  given  to  girls  than  to  boys.  At  the  present  day  our 
English  cousins  are  as  heavily  burdened  in  this  respect  as  we  are ; 
but  in  England  boys  seem  seldom  to  be  named  after  distinguished 
persons.  With  us,  on  the  contrary,  this  practice  is  most  pronounced. 
Its  origin  is  to  be  found  in  the  political  turmoil  engendered  by  the 
Stamp  Act.  On  October  16,  1766,  a  Boston  boy  ''was  Baptized 
by  the  Name  of  Wilkes^  when  it  had  iVb.  45,  in  Bows,  pinn'd  on 
its  Breast."  Within  the  next  few  years  children  in  Boston  were 
baptized  by  the  names  of  William  Pitt,  Oliver  Cromwell,  Paschal 
Paoli,  Catharine  Macaulay,  George  Whitefield,  Samuel  Adams, 
George  Washington,  Charles  Lee,  Henry  Knox,  and  Benjamin 
Franklin.  It  is  hardly  an  exaggeration  to  say  that,  were  other 
material  lost,  the  history  of  our  country  might  be  reconstructed 
from  Christian  names.  Thus  from  a  source  so  seemingly  unprom- 
ising as  baptismal  registers  facts  of  interest  can  be  drawn. 

In  investigating  the  origin  and  history  of  literary  usages,  it  is 
surprising  how  often  it  becomes  necessary  to  inquire  minutely  into 
the  lives  of  persons.  Wherever  we  find  a  term  containing  a  proper 
name,  there  seems  to  be  an  ineradicable  tendency  in  the  human 
mind  to  explain  the  term  by  referring  it  to  some  person  or  thing  of

the  same  name.  Thus, — to  take  but  a  few  instances, — it  has  been 
alleged  that  Brother  Jonathan  is  derived  from  Governor  Jonathan 
Trumbull  of  Connecticut,  Uncle  Sam  from  Samuel  Wilson  of  Troy, 
Yankee  from  Jonathan  Hastings  of  Cambridge,  lynch  law  from 
Charles  Lynch  of  Virginia. 

The  Sons  of  Liberty  have  not  received  the  attention  they  deserve. 
The  name  itself  was  coined  by  Colonel  Isaac  Barr6  in  the  debates 
on  the  Stamp  Act  in  the  House  of  Commons  in  1765.  They  ap- 
pear to  have  had  a  regular  organization,  and  the  warning  notices 
issued  by  them  were  sent  out  in  the  names  of  ^  M.  Y.,  Secretary," 
''O.  C,  Secretary,"  ''P.  P.,  Clerk,"  etc.  Were  these  the  initials 
of  the  members  who  held  the  positions?  Again,  what  was  the 
significance  of  "Joyce,  Jr." — the  name  under  which  the  chairman 
of  the  committee  for  tarring  and  feathering  masqueraded?  Once 
more,  was  the  father  of  Samuel  Adams  actually,  as  he  is  said  to 
have  been,  the  founder  of  the  Caulkers'  Club,  and  did  the  Caulkers' 
Club  give  rise  to  a  word  which  has  played  so  important  a  part  in 
the  political  history  of  oiur  country — caucus?  Those  searching  for 
genealogical  facts  relating  to  the  prominent  actors  of  the  Stamp 
Act  period  may  at  any  moment  stumble  on  letters  or  documents 
which  would  solve  these  questions. 

These  remarks  have  been  desultory  and  inadequate  in  the  ex- 
treme, but  perhaps  enough  has  been  said  to  show  that  genealogical 
researches  and  investigations  into  the  origin  of  literary  usages, 
besides  satisfying  a  natural  desire  to  ascertain  the  facts,  often  throw 
light  on  the  manners,  the  customs,  the  political  beliefs,  and  the 
history  of  our  colonial  or  provincial  or  national  periods. 


The  Report  of  the  Committee  on  Finance,  by  Hon.  James 
Phinney  Baxter,  Litt.D.,  William  Tracy  Eustis,  Esq.,  Nathaniel 
Johnson  Rust,  Esq.,  Henry  Winchester  Cunningham,  A.B.,  Wil- 
liam Taggard  Piper,  Ph.D.,  and  Nathaniel  Cushing  Nash,  A.M., 
the  Committee : 

The  total  expenditure  from  the  unrestricted  income  of  the  Society, 
for  the  year  ending  31  December,  1905,  has  been  $9,158.48.  The 
details  of  this  expenditure  are  given  in  the  report  of  the  Treasurer. 

Legacies  have  been  received  from  Walter  Titus  Avery,  amount- 
ing to  $950.00,  and  from  Robert  Charles  Winthrop,  Junior, 
amounting  to  $3,000.00. 

The  Committee  has  authorized  the  purchase  of  four  Chicago, 
Rock  Island  &  Pacific,  three  Detroit,  Grand  Rapids  &  Western, 
three  Central  of  New  Jersey,  three  New  York  Central  &  Hudson 
River,  three  Missouri  Pacific,  and  three  Chicago,  Burlington  & 
Quincy  Railroad  bonds,  each  of  one  thousand  dollars,  as  an  invest- 
ment of  the  principal  on  hand. 


ZVIU  N.  E.   HISTORIC  GENEALOGICAL  SOCIETY. 

The  Committee  also  reports  that  by  practisiDg  the  strictest 
economy — restricting  the  work  in  the  Library  merely  to  what  was 
indispensable — the  Society  has  lived  within  its  income  this  year,  and 
has  used  none  of  its  invested  funds  to  pay  current  expentses ;  bat 
expenses  have  been  so  reduced,  by  cutting  off  many  things  that 
would  improve  the  Library,  that  the  Committee  earnestly  hopes 
the  friends  of  the  Society  will  come  to  its  aid  by  generous  gifks  and 
bequests  during  the  coming  year. 


The  Report  of  the  CoMMrrxBE  on  Real  Estate,  by  Hon.  James 
Phinney  Baxter,  Litt.D.,  Henry  Winchester  Cunningham,  A.B., 
Thomas  Hills,  Esq.,  and  Nathaniel  Johnson  Rust,  Esq.,  the  Com- 
mittee : 

The  Committee,  appointed  early  in  the  year,  has  examined  the 
present  House  and  the  adjoining  real  estate  owned  by  the  Society, 
and  considers  that  it  has  great  possibilities,  and  can  hardly  be  im- 
proved upon  as  a  home  for  the  Society.  The  Committee  also  looked 
at  several  sites  and  buildings  in  the  neighborhood,  but  found  prices 
high  and  buildings  not  adapted  to  the  Society's  purposes,  and  came 
to  the  conclusion  that  the  present  situation  was  as  good  a  one  as 
means  permitted,  particularly  as  it  was  important  for  genealogical 
work  to  be  near  the  State  House  and  the  Court  House.  And  as 
there  seemed  to  be  no  imrflediate  prospect  of  the  present  House  being 
taken  for  public  purposes,  the  Committee  abandoned  further  search. 


The  Report  of  the  CoMMrrrEE  on  the  Library,  by  George  Brown 
Knapp,  A.M.,  Helen  Frances  Kimball,  Myles  Standish,  M.D., 
Joseph  Gardner  Bartlett,  Esq.,  and  William  Prescott  Greenlaw, 
Esq.,  the  Committee: 

The  danger  of  the  total  and  irreparable  loss  by  fire  of  the  Library 
of  our  Society  has  oppressed  the  Committee  on  Library  for  several 
years.  It  was  known  to  them  that  the  construction  of  the  Library 
building  made  jt  a  very  hazardous  fire  risk  and  that  the  building 
was  structurally  weak. 

It  was  evident  to  the  most  casual  observer  that  the  original  struc- 
ture, a  lightly  built  dwelling  house,  had  been  weakened  by  the  re- 
moval of  all  the  interior  partitions  except  those  surrounding  the 
stairs,  that  the  heavily  loaded  library  floor  was  supported  upon  un- 
protected iron  columns  incapable  of  withstanding  any  great  amount 
of  heat.  It  was  known  that  a  weak  floor  had  been  laid  above  the 
old  library  floor  in  such  a  way  as  to  leave  an  open  space  from  wall 
to  wall  both  ways  between  the  floor  and  the  ceiling  below  it.  That 
the  upper  floor  added  weight  without  giving  additional  strength  and 


J  BBPOBTS   OF   COMMITTEES.  XIX 

left  an  open  space  which  would  allow  fire  to  spread  rapidlj,  weak- 
ening the  light  timbers,  so  that  there  wpuld  be  a  collapse  of  the 
building  in  a  short  time  if  fire  once  got  under  way  in  that  space. 
The  timbers  of  this  floor  were  known  to  be  neither  large  enough 
nor  near  enough  together  for  a  building  used  for  public  purposes, 
and  that  they  had  been  very  much  weakened  by  cutting  to  accom- 
modate gas  pipes  in  the  centre  of  the  span. 

It  was  also  known  that  the  old-fashioned  construction  created 
open  spaces  running  vertically  between  the  brick  walls  and  the  plas- 
ter on  all  sides  behind  the  bookcases,  and  would  be  exceedingly  diflS- 
cult  to  reach  in  case  of  fire,  so  that  enormous  damage  to  the  books 
by  water  and  otherwise  would  result  from  even  a  slight  fire.  These 
spaces  would,  in  all  probability,  also  serve  as  flues  to  conduct  fire 
into  the  dangerous  places,  namely,  the  space  between  the  library 
floor  and  the  ceiling  below  it,  and  the  loft  above  the  library  ceiling. 

The  furnace  room  was  low  studded,  so  that  it  was  evident  that 
the  ceiling  was  dangerously  near  the  top  of  the  furnace,  and  that  in 
cold  weather  the  room  was  frequently  overheated. 

It  was  remembered  that  when  the  building  was  enlarged,  years 
ago,  the  rear  wall  of  the  original  structure  had  been  removed  up  to 
the  level  of  the  balcony  in  the  library,  leaving  the  weight  of  the 
roof  and  the  remaining  portion  of  the  rear  wall  supported  by  brick 
piers  over  that  portion  of  the  library  room.  These  facts,  and  a 
general  sense  of  insecurity,  induced  the  Library  Committee  to  ap- 
point a  sub-committee  to  investigate  the  condition  of  the  building. 
Mr.  J.  Gardner  Bartlett  for  that  sub-conmiittee  made  the  following 
report : 

"The  edifice  was  originally  built  over  100  years  ago  for  a  dwelling 
house,  was  altered  for  their  use  when  bought  by  the  Society  about  35  years 
ago,  aud  has  since  been  enlarged  and  altered  twice.  In  1891  the  bulging 
of  the  north  wall  rendered  the  building  liable  to  collapse,  and  this  wall 
was  strengthened  by  piers  and  the  building  tied  together  with  cross  rods 
in  the  floors. 

The  whole  construction  of  the  building  from  cellar  to  roof  is  totally 
unsuited  for  the  purpose  of  a  Library  or  the  deposit  of  valuable  books  or 
manuscripts.  Investigations  at  various  times  have  shown  that  dangerous 
conditions  exist,  like  exposure  of  woodwork  to  heat  and  smoke  flues,  tim- 
bers so  cut  for  piping  as  to  reduce  their  strength,  by  half,  exposure  of  the 
building  to  explosion  from  escaping  gas,  etc.  The  whole  construction  of 
the  building  is  too  light  for  the  purpose  for  which  it  is  used,  and  is  also  of 
an  inflammable  character ;  the  construction  of  the  library  floor  and  roof, 
especially,  is  of  such  a  nature  as  in  case  of  fird  to  afford  a  clean  sweep  for 
flames  and  a  total  loss  of  the  contents  of  the  building. 

Nor  is  the  safe  at  all  a  secure  place  for  the  valuable  treasures  of  the  So- 
ciety, as  the  roof  is  not  tight,  and  in  case  of  a  fire  the  contents  of  the  safe 
would  surely  be  damaged  if  not  ruined  by  water  ;  moreover,  if  the  safe  be 
made  water-tight,  as  the  limit  of  its  capacity  has  been  reached,  further  fire- 
proof space  is  necessary  for  new  accessions. 


ZZ  N.  B.   HISTORIC  QENBALOGIOAL  SOCIBTT. 

Besides  the  risk  from  fire  in  the  present  building,  the  rapidly  incretno^ 
accessions  of  the  Society  require  larger  quarters. 

As  the  collections  of  the  Society  are  not  only  of  great  money  Taloe,  tod 
historical  importance,  and  besides  the  manuscripts,  over  1,000  printed 
titles  could  not  be  replaced  at  any  expense,  we  recommend  that  all  sock 
unr^placeable  matter  should  be  deposited  at  once  in  some  safe  place  ontfl 
the  Society  shall  have  a  modem,  thoroughly  fire-proof  building,  the  used 
of  which  is  imperative." 

The  Committee  accepted  the  report,  and  voted  to  approye  and 
forward  the  recommendation  in  the  last  paragraph  to  the  ComMal  nl 
the  Society. 

A  sub-committee  was  then  appointed  to  inquire  into  the  expense 
of  making  the  building  less  dangerous  in  case  of  fire.  This  sob- 
committee  invited  Messrs.  Wheelwright  &  Haven,  the  well  known 
architects^  to  make  an  examination  of  the  building  and  an  estimate 
as  to  the  probable  cost  of  such  structural  changes.  Theae  gende- 
men  reported  as  follows : 

"Boston,  29  Nov.  1905. 
Mtles  Standish,  M.D., 

N.  E.  Historic  Genealogical  Society. 
Dear  Sir: — In  response  to  your  request  we  submit  the  following  repoit 
on  the  danger  from  fire  in  the  Building  of  the  N.  E.  Historic  Genealo^eil 
Society  and  as  to  the  possible  and  advisable  precautions  to  be  taken  to  le^ 
sen  fire  risk  without  complete  reconstruction  of  the  building,  together  wiA 
thr  cost  thereof. 

The  building  is  an  old  dwelling  house  which  has  been  altered  over  from 
time  to  time  as  requirements  made  necessary. 

The  wallS)  with  the  exception  of  an  addition  on  the  rear,  are  of  less  thidt> 
ness  than  are  now  required  by  the  Boston  Building  Laws  (see  Note  A)  and 
that  ou  the  north  side  is  badly  cracked  and  bulged.  The  party  wall  is  12^ 
thick  aud  further  it  is  perforated  by  the  timbers  of  the  adjoining  building. 
This  perforation  may  also  be  the  case  in  the  lower  stories,  but  this  we  wen 
not  able  to  ascertain  without  removing  bookcases  and  plastering. 

The  floors  are  not  stiff  enough  to  carry  the  heavy  load  of  the  bo<^ 
without  considerable  vibration  on  the  second  and  third  floors.  The  ceiling 
of  the  third  story  in  the  old  part  is  badly  out  of  level  and  is  held  up  by  a 
light  truss  of  old  pattern  and  very  light  wood  ties  from  the  rafters  sap- 
porting  the  ceiling  joists.  The  roof  is  composition  for  the  addition  and 
slate  for  the  old  part.  All  walls  with  the  exception  of  parts  of  the  Baw> 
ment  and  First  Story  are  plastered  on  wooden  laths  and  furring. 

Note  A, — The  building  is  50  ft.  high  to  the  highest  point  of  the  roo^ 
and  for  a  building  of  this  height  the  Boston  Building  Laws  require  the 
following  thicknesses  of  walls.

i.     Fire  Rukfrom  External  Cautes, 

The  perforation  of  the  party  wall  at  the  level  of  the  third  story  ceiling 
may  be  easily  remedied  by  closing  the  draft  space  with  brick  or  metal  laUi 
and  plaster,  but  the  bearing  of  the  timbers  8"'  into  the  wall  is  a  more  serious 
matter. 

With  this  condition,  if  there  were  a  severe  fire  in  the  adjoining  building 
the  party  wall  would  probably  be  thrown  by  falling  beams  causing  a  sec- 
tion of  the  roof  construction  and  all  of  the  ceiling  joists  to  fall  upon  the 
third  floor  which  is  already  heavily  loaded.  If  the  floor  joists  of  die  third 
floor  run  8"  into  the  north  outside  wall,  as  we  have  reason  to  suppose,  this 
wall  already  very  weak  would  undoubtedly  fall  between  the  buttresses. 
If  this  should  occur  the  library  building  would  be  a  total  wreck,  and  even 
if  this  wall  should  not  fall  the  building,  even  if  it  were  not  wholly  de- 
stroyed, would  probably  be  so  damaged  that  it  would  be  poor  economy  to 
reconstruct. 

The  slate  of  the  old  roof  when  exposed  to  fire  from  the  outside  would 
crack  and  fall,  leaving  the  roof  boarding  unprotected. 

£.    Fire  Risk  from  LUernal  Causes, 

The  ceiling  of  the  boiler  room  is  of  the  ordinary  construction  of  wood 
laths  on  plaster  applied  to  the  bottom  of  the  floor  joists.  The  plaster  of 
the  ceiling  has  been  knocked  away  in  places,  leaving  the  laths  and  space 
between  the  timbers  exposed.  Fire  might  be  caused  m  this  room  by  over- 
heating in  the  furnaces  or  by  leaking  gas,  and  in  the  basement  in  general, 
might  be  caused  by  rats  or  by  spontaneous  combustion  in  oiled  rags  or 
waste.  A  fire  started  in  the  cellar  would  be  likely  to  ignite  the  wood 
lathed  ceilings,  thence,  by  the  air  spaces  between  the  floor  beams  to  the 
side  and  party  walls  of  the  building  it  could  spread  to  all  stories  and  the 
roof.  The  large  number  of  wall  cases  renders  it  difficult  to  gain  access  to 
the  furring  space  in  case  of  fire. 

Another  way  for  fire  to  spread  is  offered  by  the  light  shaft  starting  at  a 
little  below  the  level  of  Uie  second  fioor  and  running  through  the  roof. 
The  sides  of  this  shaft  are  of  stud  construction  and  the  party  wall  is  framed 
with  wood  and  plastered  on  wood  lathing.  Fire  originating  in  the  base- 
ment could  follow  up  the  under  side  of  the  stairs  from  first  to  second 
stories  directly  into  this  light  shaft  as  there  are  unprotected  glass  doors  on 
the  stair  landing  and  above  this  there  is  a  window  in  the  third  story. 

Hot  air  pipes  to  the  various  fioors  run  behind  wood  casings  and  in  many 
places  are  surrounded  by  cases  filled  with  books,  making  fire  channels  hard 
of  access. 

To  render  the  building  a  less  dangerous  fire  risk  we  would  propose : 

1.  To  strip  the  party  wall  in  all  stories,  fill  solid  with  mortar  between 
the  wood  furrings  and  then  metal  lath  and  plaster,  leaving  no  air  space. 

2.  To  remove  all  ceilings  plastered  on  wood  lath  and  replace  with 
metal  lath  and  plaster. 

8.  To  fire  stop  with  plaster  at  both  sides  of  each  floor  to  prevent  the 
spread  of  fire  behind  the  furrings.  In  the  basement  to  cross  stop  between 
the  joists  at  several  points  the  whole  length  of  the  building,  to  prevent  the 
spread  of  fire  in  a  horizontal  direction  between  the  fioor  beams. 

4.  To  strip  the  plastering  from  staircases,  fire  stop  them  in  accordance 
with  the  requirements  of  the  Building  Laws  and  plaster  on  metal  lathing.

The  Report  of  the  Committee  to  Assist  thb  Historiak,  hy 
William  Richard  Cutter,  A.M.,  Chairman : 

The  Historian  confesses  that  in  seeking  help  firom  sunrivixig  friends 
of  our  deceased  members  he  has  neglected  the  help  this  Committee 
stood  ready  to  furnish.     Mr.  Hejwood  of  the  Committee  has  died. 

The  sixth  volume  of  the  Memorial  Biomphies  has  been  pub- 
lished during  the  year.  The  volume  has  been  edited  and  printed 
under  the  direction  of  the  Historian,  and  members  of  the  Commit- 
tee have  assisted  in  the  work  when  thej  have  been  called  upon. 
The  Historian  is  now  at  work  on  the  material  for  the  seventh 
volume. 

The  chairman  has  written  a  number  of  sketches  for  the  Pro- 
ceedings. Where  the  work  has  been  only  a  condensation  from  a 
single  article,  no  signature  has  been  appended,  and  the  same  omis- 
sion has  been  made  in  the  case  of  sketches  prepared  from  material 
formerly  contributed  by  deceased  members  to  the  archives  of  the 
Society. 

It  is  not  easy  at  times  to  get  the  exact  date  of  death  of  members 
living  at  a  distance,  and  if  persons  residing  in  other  states,  thim 
Massachusetts,  would  inform  the  Society  of  the  dates  of  death 
of  members  belonging  in  their  vicinity,  which  come  to  their  knowl- 
edge, it  would  be  a  help. 

Rev.  Anson  Titus  is  writing  a  sketch  of  President  Elmer  H. 
Capen. 

This  is  all  that  the  Committee  is  doing  at  the  present  time. 


The  Report  of  the  CoBraiTTEE  on  English  Research,  by  Charles 
Sherburne  Penhallow,  A.B.,  Chairman: 
In  behalf  of  the  Committee  on  researches  in  England,  I  have  to 
report  that  there  have  been  no  meetings  during  the  year,  there  hav- 
ing been  no  funds  to  use  in  connection  with  that  branch  of  the 
Society's  work. 


The  Report  of  the  Committee  on  Heraldrt,  prepared  by  Francis 
Apthorp  Foster,  Esq.,  Secretary  of  the  Committee,  and  pre- 
sented by  Henry  Ernest  Woods,  A.M.,  Chairman : 
The  Committee  on  Heraldry  begs  to  report  that  during  the  past 
year  it  has  had  a  much  smaller  number  of  inquiries  than  usual  to 
answer. 

Two  books  published  in  1904  seem  worthy  of  special  mention : 
Macdonald's  "  Scottish  Armorial  Seals,"  and  Fox-Davies's  "  Art 
of  Heraldry." 


BEF0BT8  OF   COMMITTBES.  XXV 

Of  another  character  is  Crozier's  "  General  Armory :  a  Register 
of  American  Families  entitled  to  Coat  Armor."  With  the  attitude 
of  the  Society  towards  the  wholesale  use  and  abuse  of  arms,  it  is 
impossible  for  your  Committee  to  recommend  this  work. 


The  Report  of  the  Committbe  on  Epitaphs,  by  John  Albree,  Esq., 
Chairman : 
The  Committee  on  Epitaphs  reports  that  during  the  year  there 
have  been  added  to  the  Library  by  donation  copies  of  inscriptions 
from  the  following  cemeteries : 

1.  Cedarville  Cemetery,  East  Sandwich,  Mass.,  from  Levi  Henry  El- 
well,  M.A.,  Amherst,  Mass. 

2.  North  Cemetery,  Salem  Road,  North  Billerica,  Mass.,  from  Miss 
Martha  Ann  Dodge,  BUlerica,  Mass. 

8.  First  Presbyterian  Churchyard,  Schenectady,  N.  T.,  from  Nathan 
Van  Patten,  Schenectady,  N.  Y. 

4.  Old  Burying  Ground,  North  Andover,  Mass.,  from  Hollis  Bailey, 
Cambridge,  Mass. 

5.  Old  South,  Farm,  Brush  Hill,  Plain,  Central,  West,  and  New  South 
Burying  Grounds,  Sherbom,  Mass.,  from  John  Bliss  Brainerd,  M.D., 
Brookline,  Mass. 

6.  St.  John's  Church  Graveyard,  Providence,  R.  I.,  from  Miss  Mary 
Alice  Keach,  Providence,  R.  I. 

And  through  the  Committee  on  Vital  Records : 

7.  Hinsdale,  Mass.,  Cemetery  Records,  and 

8.  Partridgefield  (now  Peru),  Mass.,  Inscriptions,  both  from  James 
Hosmer,  Hinsdale,  Mass. 

The  preparation  of  these  manuscripts  has  required  a  great  amount 
of  time,  patience  and  careful  work,  and  the  Committee  takes  this 
occasion  to  express  appreciative  thanks  to  those  who  have  con- 
tributed to  the  results. 

It  is*  to  be  noted  with  pleasure  that  the  seven  old  grave-yards  in 
Sherborn,  Mass.,  have  been  copied  in  excellent  form  by  Dr. 
Brainerd,  who  reports  that  he  found  a  large  number  of  inscrip- 
tions illegible,  a  condition  that  unfortunately  is  too  often  noted  in 
old  graveyards ;  and  that  again  emphasizes  the  need  of  prompt 
action  in  preserving  the  data  recorded  in  graveyards  which  have  not 
yet  been  cared  for.  , 

The  circular  "  Suggestions  as  to  Copying  Inscriptions/'  the  prep- 
aration and  printing  of  which  was  mentioned  in  the  report  for  last 
year,  has  been  found  to  be  of  decided  assistance  in  the  work,  especi- 
ally in  securing  greater  accuracy  and  more  uniformity  in  the  manu- 
scripts. 

Co-operation  in  the  work  of  copying,  one  instance  of  which  was 
reported  by  this  Committee  in  the  last  report,  namely,  the  excellent 


ZXVl  N.  E.   HISTOBIO  GENEALOGICAL  BOOIBTr. 

results  attained  by  the  Daughters  of  the  American  Revolution  at 
Cohasset,  has  been  adopted  by  the  local  chapter  of  the  Daughters 
of  the  American  Revolution  at  Hingbam,  the  adjoining  town,  and 
the  final  copy  is  being  prepared.  The  Daughters  of  the  American 
Revolution  in  Milford,  N.  H.,  have  made  substantial  progress  along 
the  same  line,  and  the  final  copy  is  being  made  there  also.  The 
Sons  of  the  American  Revolution  at  Springfield  have  made  a  be- 
ginning in  that  place.  The  Arlington  Inscriptions,  contributed  by 
the  Arlington  Historical  Society  some  years  ago,  is  another  instance 
of  the  successful  working  of  the  plan  of  co-operation.  These  in- 
stances are  mentioned  to  call  the  attention  of  the  patriotic  orders 
and  the  local  historical  societies  to  a  field  that  falls  within  the  scope 
of  their  operation.  Experience  shows  that  a  leader  can  soon  gather 
around  himself  or  herself  enough  helpers  to  allow  the  field  work  to 
be  speedily  completed. 

Additions  to  the  card  catalogue  of  this  Committee  are  being 
continually  made,  showing  in  what  places  the  inscriptions  have 
been  copied  and  where  the  copies  are  to  be  found.  If  a  copy  has 
been  made  and  deposited  in  safe-keeping,  sooner  or  later  the  facts 
will  be  printed. 

The  work  of  the  Committee  seems  to  be  peculiarly  in  accord  with 
the  motto  on  the  seal  of  the  Society,  *'  In  Memoriam  Majorum,'*  in 
that  it  seeks  to  fulfil  and  render  certain  of  accomplishment  the  pur- 
poses the  "  great  multitude  **  had  in  mind  when  they  erected  the 
humble  slate  memorials  as  **  sacred  to  the  memory  of "  those  they 
loved. 


The  Report  of  the  Committee  on  Collection  of  RECORoa,  by 
Arthur  Greene  Loring,  Esq.,  Chairman  : 

This  Committee  has  had  several  meetings  during  the  year. 

The  members  of  the  Committee,  personally,  have  continually 
urged  upon  the  proper  officials  the  importance  of  printing  their 
records,  but  so  far  as  has  come  to  their  notice  but  little  has  been 
done  in  this  line  during  the  year. 


The  Report  of  the  Committee  on  Consolidated  Index,  by 
Francis  Apthorp  Foster,  Esq.,  Chairman  : 

The  Committee  on  the  Consolidated  Index  begs  to  report  that  a 
suflScient  number  of  subscriptions  at  $5  per  part  have  been  received 
to  cover  the  cost  of  publication. 

The  Committee's  attempt  to  get  a  proper  price  on  printing  the 
Index  caused  a  delay  of  some  months,  which  was  still  further  in- 
creased by  the  death  of  the  chairman,  Captain  James  Swift  Rogers ; 


REPORTS  OF   COMMITTEES.  XZYll 

but  it  18  now  happy  to  report  that  the  work  is  progressing  rapidly. 
Three  numbers  have  been  issued  this  year,  and,  at  the  present  rate 
of  progress,  six  parts  may  be  expected  annually  until  the  work  is 
finished. 

As  600  copies  of  the  rarest  vcJume  of  the  Register  were  printed, 
and  as  there  are  probably  about  500  complete  sets  of  the  Register 
in  existence,  holders  of  nearly  complete  as  well  as  of  complete  sets 
should  secure  the  Index  before  it  is  out  of  print.  The  fact  that  a 
complete  set  of  the  Register  lacking  the  Index  will  be  less  useM 
and  probably  less  valuable  than  a  set  with  the  Index  but  lacking 
the  rare  volumes  should  not  make  it  difficult  to  dispose  of  the  re- 
maining unsold  sets  before  the  work  i»  completed. 

The  Committee  believes  that  the  Society  should  not  profit  pecu- 
niarily by  this  undertaking,  and  proposes  that  the  subscribers  shall 
benefit  by  the  $2,400  donated  originally  for  the  preparation  of  the 
Index.  It  furdier  proposes,  after  reimbursing  the  Society  for  money 
advanced,  to  give  to  subscribers  pro  rata  any  balance  on  hand,  at 
the  completion  of  the  work. 


REPORT  OF  THE  LIBRARIAN. 

Pbmbntbd  bt  William  Pbssoott  G&SBNLAir. 


The  Librabian  has  attended  to  the  duties  of  his  office  througb* 
out  the  year,  devoting  from  one  to  two  hours  per  day  more  than  is 
required  of  his  assistants  in  forwarding  the  interests  of  the  Society. 
He  has  usually  been  the  first  to  enter  the  building  in  the  morning 
and  the  last  to  leave  it  at  night,  exercising  the  most  rigid  vigilance 
over  the  heating  and  lighting  apparatus  as  a  safeguard  against  fire. 
In  his  endeavors  to  build  up  the  Library  and  increase  its  usefulness, 
he  has  enjoyed  to  a  remarkable  degree  the  cooperation  of  the  offi- 
cers, members  and  employees  of  the  Society.  Below  he  submits  a 
statement  of  the  growth,  progress  and  needs  of  the  Library,  to 
which  is  appended  the  required  list  of  donors. 

Accessions, 

Again,  as  in  1904,  the  additions  to  the  Society's  collections  in 
the  Library  and  the  Cabinet  have  been  eminently  appropriate. 
Two  hundred  and  fifty-three  genealogies  have  been  acquired  in 
1905,  which,  with  the  six  hundred  and  twenty-five  secured  in  1902, 
the  three  hundred  and  sixty-two  in  1903,  and  the  same  number 
again  in  1904,  makes  a  total  of  over  sixteen  hundred  genealogies 
added  in  four  years.  The  accessions  for  the  year  number  829 
volumes,  763  pamphlets,  and  1098  miscellaneous  articles.  Of 
these,  217  volumes,  99  pamphlets,  and  15  miscellaneous  articles 
were  purchased,  542  volumes,  639  pamphlets,  and  1083  miscella^ 
neous  articles  were  given,  and  70  volumes  and  25  pamphlets  were 
received  in  exchange.  Adding  to  the  last  published  estimate,  the 
accessions  received  since,  and  deducting  the  duplicate  municipal 
reports  (40  volumes  and  2560  pamphlets)  disposed  of  in  1904, 
gives  32,498  volumes  and  32,479  pamphlets  as  the  approximate 
number  in  the  Library,  December  31,  1905. 


REPOBT  OP  THl   LI6BABIAH.  XXIX 

Manuscripts, 

The  Society  has  been  fortunate  in  seenTing  genealogical  manu- 
sciriptfl  during  the  year.  Annmg  these  worthy  of  special  mention 
at  this  time  are  genealogies  of  various  Rogers  families  eompited  by 
the  late  Capt.  James  Swift  Rogers  of  Boston,  and  presented  by  his 
widow ;  genealogies  of  several  Cook  families,  and  partial  copies  of 
local  records  in  the  vicinity  of  Pittsfield,  Mass.,  gathered  by  the 
late  RoUin  H.  Cooke  of  Pittsfield ;  an  Adams  genealogy  compiled  by 
the  late  Hon.  Andrew  N.  Adams  of  Fair  Haven»  Vt.,  and  pre- 
sented by  his  widow ;  an  Eldred  genealogy  given  by  Mrs.  Marian 
Strong  Baker  of  Washington,  D.  C.  j  a  Pulsifer  genealogy  given 
by  Mrs.  Cornelia  Lucretia  Boardman  Pulsifer  of  New  Bedford ; 
Ward,  Plummer  and  Lang  genealogies  given  by  Mrs.  Harriet 
Emeline  Richardson  of  Aurora,  111. ;  a  collection  of  manuscripts  from 
the  library  of  the  late  Hon.  Charles  Henry  Bell  of  Exeter,  N.  H., 
given  by  Mr.  Hollis  Russell  Baiky  of  Cambridge ;  several  volumes 
of  English  records  gathered  by  the  late  Joseph  Jackson  Howard  of 
Blackheath,  Kent,  Eng. ;  an  original  Diary,  kept  by  Israel  Litch- 
field, given  by  Miss  Ella  Farmer  of  Hingham,  Mass. ;  an  original  list 
of  marriages  by  Rev.  John  Webb,  1714-1749,  and  the  second  volume 
of  the  records  of  the  New  North  Church  of  Boston,  of  which  Mr. 
Webb  was  the  first  minister,  given  by  Mary  Lincoln  Eliot  of  Bos- 
ton ;  and  a  very  large  collection  of  copies  of  town,  church,  tod  pro- 
bate records,  epitaphs  and  deeds,  relating  to  Barnstable,  Mass., 
made  by  the  late  Gustavus  A.  Hinckley  of  Barnstable,  and  be- 
queathed by  him  to  the  Society. 

Growth  and  Use  of  the  Library, 
The  efforts  put  forth  in  recent  years  to  increase  the  Library 
have  been  directed  mainly  toward  the  acquisition  of  genealogical 
publications  and  manuscripts,  and  properly  so,  for  the  Society  has 
become  widely  known  as  the  Genealogical  Society^  and  the  chief 
use  of  its  Library,  both  by  members  and  visitors,  is  for  the  purpose 
of  making  genealogical  investigations.  Probably  less  than  five 
per  cent  of  the  books  c(msulted  are  examined  for  all  other  purposes. 
The  historical  side,  however,  has  not  been  wholly  neglected,  es- 
pecially when  opportunity  occurred  to  secure  desiderata  at  low  or 
moderate  prices ;  yet  it  has  been  thought  wise  to  leave  to  the  vari- 
ous state  and  local  historical  societies  of  New  England  the  oppor- 
tunity for  each  to  excel  in  its  own  special  field  of  activity.  To 
gather  and  preserve  for  public  use  the  records  of  the  families  who 
have  lived  within  the  confines  of  New  England  since  its  settlement 
is  a  task  sufficiently  large  to  engross  the  energy  and  to  absorb  the 
means  of  any  one  institution.  And  it  is  certainly  more  in  accord- 
ance with  modem  ideas,  for  the  Society  to  specialize  in  what  to 
some,  perhaps,  may  seem  a  narrow  interpretation  of  its  founders' 


ZZZ  N.  B.  HI8T0BI0  OENBALOOICAL  SOdETY. 

purposes,  accomplishing  much  in  the  more  restricted  field,  than  for 
it  to  divide  its  energy  and  means  among  a  wider  range  of  objects, 
failing  to  obtain  more  than  a  moderate  degree  of  success  in  each. 
The  remarkable  growth  of  the  Library  along  genealogical  lines  is  to 
a  large  extent  due  to  the  general  demand  of  visitors  for  genealogi- 
cal information. 

Danger  from  Fire. 

The  wooden  buildings  on  the  adjoining  land  recently  purchased 
by  the  Society  have  been  demolished  this  year,  making  a  slight 
change  for  the  better  in  external  conditions.  See  the  former  reports 
of  the  Librarian.  For  expert  opinions  of  the  dangerous  condition 
of  the  Society^s  Building,  read  tlie  Report  of  the  Committee  on  the 
Library. 

Binding. 

Finding  it  impossible  to  purchase  dude  of  an  uniform  texture 
and  color,  in  small  quantities,  for  binding,  the  Librarian  has  had 
made  to  order  a  quantity  of  doth  sufficient  for  several  years. 

Economy  and  Service. 

In  response  to  a  general  demand  ^  to  take  in  sail "  at  the  be- 
ginning of  the  year,  it  has  been  necessary  to  curtail  expenses  wher- 
ever possible.  As  a  result,  fewer  books  have  been  purchased,  less 
binding  has  been  done,  and  scarcely  anything  worth  mentioning  has 
been  accomplished  on  the  card  catalogue.  Miss  Chapman  and  Miss 
Rayne  of  the  Library  staif  have  been  assigned  temporarily  to  the 
Consolidated  Index,  and  jointly  given  charge  of  the  editorial  work 
on  it.  This  transfer  has  materially  lessened  the  pay  roll  of  the 
library  and  has  provided  efficient  editors  for  the  Index,  but  it  has 
also  seriously  interfered  with  the  progress  of  the  library  work.  Miss 
Stickney  has  been  appointed  by  the  Council  as  Assistant  Librarian, 
and  continues  to  attend  to  the  routine  work  of  the  Library. 

The  Treasurer's  report  for  the  year  indicates  that  the  Society  has 
lived  within  its  income.  The  Librarian  regrets  the  necessity  of  re- 
porting that,  in  order  to  do  this,  it  has  been  impossible  to  purchase 
desirable  books  frequently  called  for,  to  keep  up  the  cataloguing 
and  binding,  and  to  give  the  best  service  in  assisting  members  and 
visitors.

MEMOIRS 

OF  THB 

NEW  ENGLAND  HISTORIC  GENEALOGICAL  SOCIETY. 

Arranged  by  Rev.  Geoboe  Moulton  Adams,  D.D.,  Historian.* 


The  following  pages  contain  obituary  notices  of  members  who 
died  during  the  year  1905,  with  the  addition  of  six  deceased  in 
preceding  years.  The  notices  are  arranged  in  the  order  in  which 
the  deaths  occurred. 

1903. 

Hezekiah  Spencer  Sheldon,  of  West  Suffield,  Connecticut, 
a  life  member  since  1886,  died  August  29,  1903.  He  was  a  native 
of  Suffield,  and  was  born  June  23,  1820.  His  father  was  Julius 
Curtis  Sheldon,  and  his  mother's  maiden  name  was  Mind  well 
Spencer.  He  was  a  descendant  of  Isaac  Sheldon,  of  Dorchester, 
Windsor,  and  Northampton,  through  Jonathan,'  Elijah,'  Martin,^ 
Julius  C.*t  Julius  Curtis  Sheldon  was  bom  in  Suffield,  where 
the  family  had  lived  for  several  generations,  December  12,  1791, 
and  died  December  5,  1873.  His  mother  was  bom  in  Suffield, 
AprU  22,  1797,  and  died  August  23,  1885. 

The  subject  of  this  sketch  was  married,  November  1,  1843,  to 
Almira  C,  daughter  of  Barlow  Rose.  They  had  no  children.  He 
died  in  Suffield,  leaving  only  a  brother,  Martin  J.  Sheldon,  of 
Suffield.  In  his  letter  of  acceptance  to  the  Society  he  says,  "  My 
education  to  the  age  of  seventeen  years,  was  in  the  common  school ; 
polished  up  with  a  few  terms  at  the  Connecticut  Literary  Institu- 
tion of  Suffield.  Then  I  commenced  a  most  instructive  course  in 
the  study  of  human  nature,  by  teaching  district  schools  five  winters^ 
boarding  'round,  and  working  on  the  homestead  farm  in  the  sum* 
mers.  The  broad  acres  df  that  farm,  through  five  successive  gene- 
rations, are  still  in  the  family  name.  Alas,  only  the  sons  of  the 
Green  Isle  till  its  soil !

oflSces.  I  am  vice-president  (serving  as  president)  of  the  First 
National  Bank  of  SuflSeld.  I  am  collecting,  transcribing,  and 
printing  (privately)  the  '  Documentary  History  of  Suffield  in  the 
Colony  and  Province  of  the  Massachusetts  Bay  in  New  England, 
1660-1749.'  I  have  printed  already,  in  pamphlet  form,  195  pages, 
and  I  hope  to  complete  it.  I  am  the  author  of  a  pamphlet  entitled 
*  SuflSeld  and  the  Lexington  Alarm  in  April,  1775,*  22  pp.  I  have 
written  the  article  '  Suffield '  for  the  *  Hartford  County  Memorial 
History.'"  An  examination  of  his  documentary  history  of  Suffield 
shows  it  to  be  a  work  of  much  merit.  He  adopted  the  documentary, 
in  preference  to  the  narrative  form,  because  it  was  his  belief  that 
**  no  history  can  be  so  complete,  or  valuable,  as  the  records  them- 
selves, accurately  transcribed." 

1904, 

Henri  Raymond  Casgrain,  D.  Litt.,  F.  R.  S.  C,  wa«  bom 
December  16,  1831,  at  Rivi6re  Quelle,  Province  of  Quebec, 
Canada,  and  died  February  11,  1904,  in  the  Convent  of  Lea  Reli- 
gieuses  du  Bon-Pasteur,  Quebec,  where  he  had  retired  during  the 
last  thirty  years  of  his  life.  His  father  was  Hon.  Charles  Eusebe 
Casgrain,  his  mother  Elizabeth  Anne  Baby,  daughter  of  Hon. 
James  Baby,  of  Sandwich,  Ontario. 

Henri  Raymond  Casgrain  was  educated  at  Sainte  Anne  College, 
and  made  his  entry  in  the  world  as  a  medical  student  at  McGill 
University,  Montreal.  About  a  year  afterwards,  be  left  to  enter 
the  Seminary  of  Quebec,  where  he  was  admitted  to  holy  orders. 
He  devoted  a  few  years  to  the  ministry  and  was  professor  at  Ste. 
Anne  College,  until  he  was  obliged  to  take  rest  on  account  of  his 
€ye8,  which  were  gradually  losing  sight  as  the  result  of  his  night 
studies. 

Generally,  during  fifteen  or  sixteen  consecutive  years,  he  used 
to  pass  the  winters  in  Europe,  particularly  in  Paris,  where  he 
formed  the  acquaintance  of  divers  literary  and  scientific  men.  There 
he  collected  a  considerable  number  of  historical  docimients,  the 
greater  part  of  which  were  printed  in  Quebec  by  the  Provincial 
Government. 

The  principal  works  of  TAbb^  Casgrain  are  :  *'  L^gendes  Canadi- 
ennes,"  "Biographies  Canadiennes,"  "Histoirede  THotel  Dieu  de 
Quebec,"  "Un  P^l^rinage  au  Pays  d'Evangeline,"  which  was  crowned 
by  the  Acadc^mie  Fran§aise,  and  "  Montcalm  et  L6vis,"  2  vols. 

The  Abb6  was  a  friend  of  Parkman.  Their  correspondence  re- 
lating to  the  Acadians,  in  which  he  rectified  some  historical  errors 
of  his  friend,  brought  forth  the  "  Documents  in^dits  sur  le  Canada 
et  TAm^rique,"  in  1888.  They  are  intended  to  be  the  counterpart 
and   correction  of  Akin's  collection  of  "Nova  Scotia  Archives," 


M£MOIRS.  li 

published  in  1869.  In  view  of  writing  the  P61erinage,  the  Abb6 
twice  visited  the  principal  places  of  the  old  Acadian  settlements,  and 
examined  the  Archives  of  Nova  Scotia,  at  Halifax.  Then  he 
crossed  to  London  for  additional  researches,  more  particularly  in 
the  British  Museum.  From  thence  he  continued  to  Paris  for  the 
same  object. 

The  Abb6  Casgrain  was  a  corresponding  member  of  this  Society, 
elected  in  1875. 

By  Hon.  Philippe  Babt  Caso&ain,  K.C. 

Amos  Bugbee  Carpenter,  of  West  Waterford,  Vermont,  a 
corresponding  member,  elected  in  1847,  was  born  in  Waterford, 
May  25,  1818,  and  died  in  that  town,  April  26,  1904.  He  lived 
all  his  life  on  the  home  farm  in  West  Waterford,  and  married,  June 
24,  1847,  Cosbi  B.,  daughter  of  Ezra  and  Hannah  (Burleigh)  Par- 
ker, of  Littleton,  New  Hampshire,  who  was  born  June  24,  1828, 
and  died  March  25,  1904.  He  was  appointed  postmaster  when  the 
post  oflSce  at  West  Waterford  was  first  established,  in  1855,  and 
resigned  the  oflSce  in  1888,  being  succeeded  by  his  wife,  who  was 
postmistress  at  the  time  of  her  death.  He  was  elected  in  1888  a 
representative  in  the  legislature  for  two  years.  He  was  survived 
by  five  of  a  family  of  seven  children. 

His  life  extended  back  to  the  first  generation  of  Waterford  in- 
habitants, and  almost  to  the  beginning  of  the  town's  history.  He 
was  identified  with  nearly  every  one  of  its  enterprises,  had  an  ex- 
cellent memory,  and  knew  thoroughly  its  history  and  its  people,  and 
no  one  was  better  qualified  to  write  its  history.  Instead,  however, 
his  time  for  twenty  years  was  devoted  to  an  effort  to  prepare  a  his- 
tory of  the  Carpenter  family,  involving  an  extensive  correspondence 
and  travel  into  different  parts  of  New  England.  This  work  was 
published  by  him  in  1898,  under  the  title  *'  A  Genealogical  History 
of  the  Rehoboth  Branch  of  the  Carpenter  Family  in  America."  In 
the  preparation  of  this  work, — like  other  genealogists  of  his  day, — 
he  went  from  town  to  town  in  quest  of  every  one  of  his  name,  mak- 
ing note  of  every  record,  tradition,  item  of  information,  land  own- 
ership, and  probate  record, — not  forgetting  the  memorials  of  the 
dead  in  the  different  burial-places  of  the  towns  which  he  visited.

Walter  Titus  Avery,  A.B.,  of  East  Moriches,  New  York,  a 
life  member  since  1871,  died  on  June  10,  1904.  He  was  born  in 
the  city  of  New  York,  January  18,  1814,  the  only  child  of  John 
Smith*  Avery  and  his  wife  Amelia  Titus.  His  parents  were  natives 
of  Huntington,  Long  Island.     John  S.  Avery,  his  father,  was  a

successful  merchant  of  New  York  City.  His  mother  was  a  daugh- 
ter of  Israel  and  Temperance  (Norton)  Titus.  His  father  was  the 
son  of  John*  and  Ruth  (Smith)  Avery.  John*  Avery  waa  gradu- 
ated at  Yale  College  in  1761 ;  son  of  Rev.  Ephraim,^  who  was 
graduated  at  Harvard  College  in  1731  (Register,  9:  173);  son 
of  Rev.  John,*  Harvard  College  1706;  son  of  Robert* ;  son  of  Dr. 
William,*  of  Dedham. 

Walter  Titus  Avery  was  graduated  from  Columbia  College  in 
1832.  He  began  in  the  profession  of  civil  engineering  on  the  loca- 
tion of  the  New  York  and  Croton  Aqueduct  in  1836,  and  was  civil 
engineer  on  the  Hudson  River  Railroad,  from  1847  to  1850.  He 
then  became  a  merchant,  located  in  Stockton,  California,  from  1851 
to  1856,  and  then  in  New  York  City,  from  1856,  and  onwards  till 
his  retirement. 

He  was  a  benefactor  of  the  Society,  leaving  to  it  a  bequest  of  one 
thousand  dollars. 

Mr.  Avery  left  to  the  Dedham  Historical  Society  of  Dedham, 
Mass.,  the  sum  of  one  thousand  dollars,  and  quite  a  collection  of 
books  and  genealogical  manuscript  of  the  Avery  family.  He  also  left 
to  the  Pocumtuck  Valley  Memorial  Association  of  Deerfield,  Mass., 
the  sum  of  one  thousand  dollars.  A  friend  writes :  ^  Mr.  Avery  was 
greatly  interested  in  the  genealogy  of  the  Avery  family,  and  spent 
both  time  and  money  in  quest  of  information  relating  to  the  early 
history  of  the  family,  not  only  in  all  parts  of  this  country,  but  in 
England  as  well.  In  features  and  complexion  he  resembled  his 
mother,  though  possessing  strongly  the  Avery  characteristics.  In 
California  he  was  engaged  in  selling  supplies  for  the  miners  under 
the  firm  name  of  Avery  and  Hewlett.  He  returned  to  New  York 
in  1856,  and  formed  a  partnership  with  an  old  friend  aa  importers 
and  commission  merchants  under  the  firm  name  of  H.  E.  Blossom 
and  Co.  At  Mr.  Blossom's  death  in  1863,  Mr.  Avery  continued 
the  business  with  a  former  associate,  the  firm  being  Avery  and  Lock- 
wood.  Retiring  from  business  in  1885,  Mr.  Avery  passed  most  of 
his  time  in  a  quiet  village  on  the  Great  South  Bay,  Long  Island, 
dividing  his  time  between  his  favorite  pastimes  of  yachting,  driving 
and  reading.  He  was  well  known  among  his  friends  as  a  student 
of  Shakespeare."     He  was  unmarried.

Ira  Davenport,  of  Bath,  New  York,  a  life  member  of  this  So- 
ciety, to  which  he  was  elected  in  1898,  was  born  in  Hornellsville, 
New  York,  June  28,  1841,  and  died  in  Bath,  in  that  state,  October

Rev.  Elmer  Hewett  Capen,  D.D.,  LL.D.,  was  born  in 
Stoughton,  Massachusetts,  April  5,  1838,  the  son  of  Samuel  Capen 
and  his  wife  Almira  Paul.  His  paternal  line  of  anceatry  wm 
Samuel,'  Elisha,'  Samuel,*  Samuel,*  Samuel,*  Samuel,*  Bernard' 
Capen.  His  maternal  line  of  ancestry  was  Almira,'  Samuel,* 
Samuel,*  Samuel,*  Samuel,*  Samuel,*  Richard*  Paul.  His  remain- 
ing ancestral  lines  are  in  the  Bailey,  Payson,  Gay,  Withington, 
Fales,  Fisher,  Fenton,  Shepherd,  and  Morse  families. 

Dr.  Capen  was  fitted  for  College  at  Green  Mountain  Institute, 
Woodstock,  Vermont,  and  entered  Tufls  College  in  1856,  gradu- 
ating in  1860.  At  the  first  election  after  he  was  twenty-one  years 
of  age,  he  was  elected  to  the  Massachusetts  House  of  Representa- 
tives, and  bore  an  honorable  part  in  the  conduct  of  its  business. 
He  studied  at  Harvard  Law  School,  and  was  admitted  to  the  Bar 
in  1863.  He  soon,  however,  determined  to  enter  the  Christian 
ministry.  He  was  ordained  and  installed  as  pastor  over  the  Inde- 
pendent Christian  Church  at  Gloucester,  Massachusetts,  October  5, 
1865,  where  he  remained  nearly  five  years,  and  because  of  the  ill- 
health  of  his  wife,  removed  to  St.  Paul,  Minnesota.  But  change 
of  climate  did  not  grant  the  needed  restoration,  and  he  returned  to 
New  England,  becoming  pastor  in  Providence,  R.  I.  He  came  to 
the  presidency  of  Tufts  College,  March  13,  1875,  and  presided 
over  its  interests  until  his  decease,  March  22,  1905. 

His  services  for  Tufts  College  can  scarcely  be  estimated.  Under 
his  presidency  the  enrollment  of  students  rose  from  eighty-three  to 
one  thousand,  and  the  number  of  the  faculty  from  fifteen  to  nearly 
two  hundred.  President  Capen  was  an  administrator.  He  had 
great  concerns  in  his  charge  and  executed  them  with  skill  and  fore- 
sight. He  was  a  person  of  commanding  presence,  and  was  recog- 
nized as  a  leader  among  the  peojde.  From  1889  to  bis  death  he 
was  a  member  of  the  Massachusetts  State  Board  of  Education. 

In  the  (-hristian  pulpit,  Dr.  Capen  was  in  the  foremost  rank, 
and  as  an  orator  concerning  academic  subjects  had  few  equals. 
While  alert  in  promoting  the  freest  spirit  in  scholastic  aflfairs,  and 
in  the  furtherance  of  Christian  ideals,  he  was  ever  foremost  in  his 
adherence  to  the  central  principles  of  the  Universalist  Church.  He 
was  a  student  among  students,  and  a  man  among  men.  The  world 
is  richer  and  better  because  of  his  service,  and  his  memory  is  cher- 
ished not  only  by  the  student  body  and  alumni  of  his  College  but  by 
citizens  and  lovers  of  good  government  throughout  our  country. 

President  Capen  married,  January  3,  1866,  Letitia  Howard, 
daughter  of  Hon.  Thomas  Mussey,  one  time  a  resident  of  New 
London,  Connecticut.  She  died  September  5,  1872.  He  married, 
February  12,  1877,  Mary  Leavitt,  daughter  of  Oliver  Edwards,

William  Henry  Pulsiter  was  born  in  Boston,  November  18, 
1831,  the  eighth  in  descent  from  Benedict  Pulsifer,  who  settled  at 
Ipswich,  Massachusetts,  in  1662,  and  who  is  the  first  of  the  name 
of  Pulsifer  known  to  have  lived  in  America. 

Mr.  Pulsifer  attended  the  Grammar  and  High  Schools  of  the  city 
of  Boston.  Upon  leaving  school,  he  engaged  in  mercantile  busi- 
ness in  Boston,  and  resided  there,  with  occasional  extended  business 
visits  to  the  West,  until  1859,  when  he  removed  to  St.  Louis,  Mis- 
souri, where  he  became  engaged  in  the  manufacture  of  white  lead 
and  other  chemical  products.  He  continued  to  reside  in  St.  Louis 
until  1890,  when  he  retired  from  active  business  and  returned  to 
the  east,  residing  in  the  winter  at  Newton  Centre,  Massachusetts, 
and  at  Washington,  District  of  Columbia,  and  passing  the  summer 
at  his  country  place  at  Nonquitt,  on  Buzzard's  Bay,  Massachusetts. 

During  his  residence  in  St.  Louis,  Mr.  Pulisifer  was  prominent 
in  many  business  and  financial  enterprises.  He  was  for  many  years 
President  of  the  St.  Louis  Lead  and  Oil  Company,  Treasurer  of 
the  American  Central  Insurance  Company,  a  director  of  the  Na- 
tional Bank  of  Commerce  and  of  several  other  corporations.  He 
was  a  fellow  of  the  American  Association  for  the  Advancement  of 
Science ;  a  member  of  the  St.  Louis  Academy  of  Science ;  of  the 
Anthropological  Society  of  Washington  ;  of  the  National  Geographic 
Society ;  of  the  American  Folk  Lore  Society ;  of  the  American 
Forestry  Association ;  of  the  New  England  Historic  Genealogical 
Society,  admitted  in  1891  ;  of  the  Society  of  the  Sons  of  the 
American  Revolution  ;  and  of  the  Bostonian  Society.  He  was  also 
a  member  of  the  Union  Club  in  New  York  and  of  the  Cosmos  and 
Metropolitan  Clubs  in  Washington. 

Mr.  Pulsifer  died  April  9,  1905,  at  the  Highlands  in  Washing- 
ton. He  leaves  a  widow,  and  one  daughter,  Mrs.  H.  Duncan 
Wood  of  New  York. 

Otis  Brigham  Bullard.  Like  very  many  of  the  older  families 
of  New  England,  the  BuUards  emerge  into  our  history  in  the  fourth 
decade  of  the  seventeenth  century.  Benjamin  Bullard  was  one  of 
the  group  of  pioneers  who  ventured  to  settle  west  of  Charles  River, 
near  where  Medfield,  Sherbom,  and  Millis  (formerly  East  Med- 
way)  corner  together;  and  doubtless  he  and  his  growing  family 
shared  with  the  Fairbanks,  Lelands,  Morses,  Daniels,  and  others.

the  protection  of  their  good  stone  garrison-house  on  the  shore  of 
Bogistow  Pond,  when  King  Philip's  war  party  attempted  its 
destruction  by  means  of  the  cartload  of  burning  flax. 

Isaac  and  three  generations  of  Samuels  succeeded  Benjamin  in 
the  ancestry  of  him  whose  career  we  now  call  to  mind.  Of  these, 
Samuel  Bullard,  Esq.,  of  HoUiston  (1742-1816)  was  a  noted  sur- 
veyor and  almanac-maker.  Capt.  Samuel  Bullard  (bom  1777) 
inherited  the  homestead  of  four  generations  of  BuUards  of  HoUis- 
ton, a  daughter  town  of  old  Sherbom,  which  Benjamin  Bullard 
helped  to  found.  At  this  homestead  Otis  Brigham  Bullard  was 
born,  August  18,  1815,  when  Madison  was  president  of  the  United 
States,  when  the  sterner  aspects  of  Puritanism  still  prevailed  in  old 
New  England  homes,  when  still  *'a  man  was  famous  according  as 
he  had  lifted  up  axes  upon  the  thick  trees." 

The  boy  had  a  mind  receptive  toward  the  educational  opportuni- 
ties that  came  to  him.  Enough  of  the  grandfather's  blood  ran  in 
his  veins  to  make  him  interested  in  mathematics  and  surveying,  and 
under  Matthew  Metcalf  he  assisted  as  engineer  on  the  old  Boston 
and  Worcester  railroad  in  1839.  He  had  flattering  opportunities 
to  make  some  application  of  mathematics  his  life-work,  but  some- 
how he  early  felt  himself  drawn  away  from  family  traditions  and 
so-called  practical  affairs  into  the  pursuit  of  music  as  a  profession. 
Availing  himself  of  such  training  in  this  direction  as  circumstances 
then  allowed,  he  devoted  his  best  energies  during  the  most  active 
years  of  his  long  life  to  the  elevation  of  public  taste  through  this 
cliosen  fine-art.  As  choir-master  and  as  teacher  of  singing  classes 
of  boys  and  girls  in  his  native  town  and  elsewhere,  he  lefk  a  distinct 
mark  upon  his  time,  and  very  many  bear  testimony  to  his  useful- 
ness. He  was  greatly  aided  in  this  work  by  his  self-effacing,  devoted 
wife,  Abigail  ('utler,  whom  he  married  January  11,  1843,  and  with 
whom  he  lived  in  most  helpful  relations  for  more  than  sixty-one 
years. 

As  a  successful  public  school  teacher  in  his  young  manhood,  later 
as  a  member  of  the  school  board  for  many  years,  as  town  treasurer, 
as  loyal  and  efficient  member  of  his  home  church  to  his  life's  end,  as 
nei<j:hbor,  citizen,  and  friend,  many  of  his  best  qualities  were  brought 
into  exercise.  He  was  one  of  the  first  to  support  the  Free-soil 
party.  He  was  always  in  warmest  sympathy  with  the  cause  of 
public  righteousness.  Having  once  adopted  an  opinion  or  allied 
himself  with  a  cause,  he,  with  innate  persistency,  held  to  it  faithfully 
at  all  hazards.  His  mathematical  instincts  and  training  made  him 
accurate  in  observation  and  statement  of  facts,  and  just  because 
of  this  quality  he  was  a  valuable  source  of  information  concerning 
the  past. 

In  1869  he  left  Holliston  for  permanent  residence  in  Washing- 
ton, District  of  Columbia,  where  for  twenty  years  or  more  he  was 


HEMoms.  Ivii 

proprietor  of  the  Washington  Conservatory  of  Music.  His  death 
there,  from  a  street  accident,  April  25,  1905,  may  have  come  to 
him  somewhat  as  a  relief  in  the  loneliness  of  old  age,  without  chil- 
dren or  near  relatives.  Yet  a  long  life,  spent,  as  his  was,  in  close 
contact  with  the  men  and  events  of  his  time,  gathers  up  a  fund  of 
knowledge  and  experience  which  the  world  loses  with  regret. 
He  was  a  life  member  of  this  Society,  admitted  in  1865.

James  Clarke  Davis,  born  in  Greenfield,  Massachusetts,  Janu- 
ary 19,  1838,  died  at  his  home  in  Jamaica  Plain,  May  11,  1905. 
His  father,  George  T.  Davis,  was  bom  in  1810,  graduated  at  Har- 
vard in  1829,  lived  in  Greenfield  from  1833  to  1865,  and  died  in 
Portland  in  1877.  He  was  an  excellent  lawyer,  a  noted  wit,  a 
singularly  agreeable  converser,  a  most  hospitable  entertainer,  a 
genial,  lovable  man.  He  was  a  son  of  Wendell  Davis  of  Sand- 
wich, and  grandson  of  Thomas  Davis  of  Plymouth.  His  mother, 
Harriet  T.  Davis,  was  a  daughter  of  Nathaniel  P.  Russell  of  Bos- 
ton, and  was  described  by  James  Freeman  Clarke, for  whom  James 
Clarke  Davis  was  named,  as  having  a  brilliant  intellect,  easy  flash- 
ing wit,  self-possessed  graceful  demeanor — all  the  qualities  which 
charm  society.     She  died  in  1862. 

Mr.  Davis  attended  school  at  the  Deerfield  and  Phillips  Exeter 
Academies,  graduated  at  Harvard  in  1858,  belonged  to  five  college 
societies,  studied  law  in  his  father's  ofiice  and  at  the  Harvard  Law 
School,  was  admitted  to  the  bar  in  1861,  entered  his  father's  firm, 
and  in  1862  removed  to  Boston  where  he  practised  until  his  death. 
For  several  years  he  was  clerk  to  the  attorney  general,  and  after- 
wards was  assistant  attorney  general.  He  prepared  for  the  city 
of  Boston  a  "Digest  of  Massachusetts  Decisions  of  Municipal 
Interest,"  which  was  published  by  the  city  in  1866.  He  belonged 
to  the  Union  and  St.  Botolph  Clubs,  and  was  secretary  of  the  former 
for  four  years,  and  one  of  its  trustees.  He  was  secretary  and  a 
trustee  of  the  Adams  Nervine  Asylum,  one  of  the  council  of  the 
Boston  Bar  Association,  and  one  of  the  class  committee  and  also 
secretary  of  his  college  class.  For  several  years  he  was  one  of  the 
school  committee  of  Boston.  He  was  a  resident  member  of  this 
Society,  elected  in  1900. 

On  June  3,  1873,  he  was  married  to  Alice  W.  Paine  of  Worces- 
ter, daughter  of  Charles  Paine.  They  had  two  daughters.  They 
lived  on  Mt.  Vernon  Place  in  Boston  till  1883,  and  afterwards  in 
Jamaica  Plain,  where  they  maintained  a  delightftil  home,  made  sad

younger  daughter  survive.  His  only  brother,  Wendell,  and  his 
only  sister,  Ellen,  died  several  years  ago,  both  unmarried.

Mr.  Davis  had  little  taste  for  court  practice  and  gradually  with- 
drew from  it,  and  at  last  devoted  himself  almost  exclusively  to  the 
care  of  trust  funds  and  the  management  and  settlement  of  estates. 
He  was  often  appointed  receiver  of  insolvent  companies,  and  in  all 
such  cases  did  his  work  to  the  great  satisfaction  of  the  court.  In 
his  experience  there  was  no  such  thing  as  swerving  from  the  strict- 
est ideas  of  right.  Those  who  knew  him  well  reposed  implicit  con- 
fidence in  his  integrity,  fidelity  and  accuracy. 

In  politics  Mr.  Davis  was  a  Republican ;  and  in  religious  faith  a 
Unitarian.     He  attended  the  church  of  Rev.  Dr.  James  DeNor- 
mandie  of  Roxbury,  with  whom  he  had  a  warm  friendship.

William  Sweetzer  Heywood  was  bom  in  Westminster, 
Massachusetts,  August  23,  1824,  the  son  of  John  and  Betsey 
(Edgell)  Heywood.  His  ancestors  in  the  direct  line  were  John,' 
who  was  settled  in  Concord  in  1656,  John,*  Phineas,'  Timothy,* 
John.*  On  his  mother's  side  he  was  descended  from  William' 
Edgell  of  Wobum,  through  William,*  William,'  and  Betsey.* 
Reared  on  his  father's  farm  in  the  southerly  part  of  Westminster, 
he  was  educated  in  the  common  schools  of  his  native  town,  and  at 
Leicester  Academy,  also  at  Clinton  Liberal  Institute,  Clinton, 
Oneida  County,  New  York.  It  has  been  said  of  him  that  he  was 
"endowed  by  nature  with  a  superior  mental  and  moral  constitution." 

His  father  attended  the  Universalist  Church  at  Westminster,  and 
under  the  direction  of  Rev.  Varnum  Lincoln  of  that  church,  and 
later  of  Rev.  Adin  Ballou  at  Hopedale,  Mr.  Heywood  prepared  for 
the  christian  ministry  and  was  ordained  May  25,  1849.  He  early 
became  interested  in  the  great  moral  reforms  of  temperance,  anti- 
slavery,  woman's  rights,  and  the  cause  of  peace.  In  1848  he  took 
up  his  residence  with  the  Hopedale  Community,  an  attempt  at 
"practical  christian  socialism."  At  Hopedale  he  preached  as  an 
independent  practical  christian,  and  was  also  associate  editor  of  the 
Practical  Christian^  published  by  the  Hopedale  Community,  mean- 
time serving  the  Community  as  its  president,  until  it  virtually  failed 
in  1856. 

On  May  11,  1851,  Mr.  Heywood  married  Abigail  Sayles,  daugh- 
ter of  Rev.  Adin  and  Abigail  (Sayles)  Ballou.  With  her  he 
established  in  1856  the  Hopedale  Home  School,  which  continued 
successfully  for  seven  years.  In  1864  he  left  Hopedale,  and  enter- 
ing into  fellowship  with  the  Unitarian  denomination,  he  was  set- 
tled as  pastor  of  Unitarian  societies  in  Scituate,  Hudson,  Holyoke, 
the  Parmenter  St.  Chapel  in  Boston,  and  at  Sterling.  Every- 
where he  was  a  devoted  teacher  and  pastor,  and  always  charmed 
by  his  "simple,  guileless  goodness."

In  1888  his  native  town  of  Westminster  voted  an  appropriation 
for  a  history  of  the  town,  and  he  was  selected  as  the  town's  histo- 
rian. The  history  is  a  work  of  great  merit,  a  volume  of  nearly  a 
thousand  pages,  published  in  1893.  More  recently  he  edited  and 
published  some  of  the  writings  of  his  father-in-law,  Rev.  Adin 
Ballon.  Mr.  Heywood  was  elected  a  resident  member  of  this 
Society  in  1887.  He  made  frequent  use  of  its  library,  and  was 
actively  interested  in  its  affairs,  particularly  as  a  member  of  the 
committee  on  graveyard  inscriptions. 

An  invalid  for  more  than  two  years,  Mr.  Heywood  died  at  his 
home  in  Dorchester,  Massachusetts,  May  24,  1905^.  Besides  his 
widow  he  left  an  only  child,  Lucy  Florence,  bom  July  28,  1861, 
the  wife  of  John  Holden,  Esq.,  of  New  York,  and  two  young 
grandchildren.  Those  who  were  privileged  to  know  William  Sweet- 
zer  Heywood  have  remarked  the  singular  beauty  of  his  domestic 
life,  his  entire  genuineness,  and  his  spiritual  helpfulness.

Herbert  Cornelius  Andrews,  son  of  Alfred  Hmsdale  and 
Ella  Cornelia  (Matson)  Andrews,  was  bom  in  Chicago,  Illinois, 
March  19,  1883.  He  was  descended  from  John  Andrews  (often 
spelt  Andrus)  and  Mary,  his  wife,  who  were  among  the  earliest 
settlers  of  Farmington,  Connecticut,  John  Andrews  being  admitted 
to  the  church  there  on  May  9,  1658  ;  made  freeman  May  20,  1658 ; 
and  his  name  appearing  among  the  84  proprietors  in  1672. 

From  these  ancestors  his  line  of  descent  was  as  follows :  John' 

Andrews  and  Mary  ■  '^  Daniel*  Andrews  and  Eunice ; 

DanieP  Andrews  and  Mabel  Goffe ;  Hezekiah^  Andrews  and  Anna 
Stedman ;  EzekieP  Andrews  and  Roxana  Hinsdale ;  Alfred'  An- 
drews and  Mary  Lee  Shipman ;  Alfred  Hinsdale^  Andrews  and 
Ella  Cornelia  Matson  ;  Herbert  Cornelius'  Andrews. 

As  a  child  he  was  far  from  robust,  and  during  his  later  years 
there  were  always  physical  limitations.  He  was  absorbed  in  his 
studies,  including  music,  and  every  study  possessed  for  him  an  in- 
tense interest.  He  graduated  from  the  High  School  at  Oak  Park, 
Illinois,  in  1899,  with  high  honors,  and  later  attended  the  Univer- 
sity of  Chicago,  and  Colorado  College,  Colorado  Springs.  At 
school  and  college,  in  addition  to  the  regular  studies,  he  mastered 
stenography  and  typewriting ;  took  a  course  in  advertising,  and 
salesmanship ;  and  for  a  time  studied  designing.  While  at  Colo- 
rado College  he  studied  harmony,  and  showed  marked  ability  in 
musical  composition. 

After  a  year  at  Colorado  College,  he  became  so  broken  in  health 
that  he  was  obliged  to  give  up  all  further  thought  of  school  and  de- 
vote himself  to  an  outdoor  life.     He  spent  a  year  alone  in  Flagstaff,

Arizona.  He  next  went  to  Pasadena,  Califoniiay  where  after  a  few 
months  his  health  had  so  much  improved  that  he  became  anxious 
for  definite  occupation,  and  accepted  an  engagement  with  the  Los 
Angeles  agents  of  the  A.  H.  Andrews  Co.  of  Chicago,  of  which  bis 
father  is  President.  After  spending  a  year  in  business,  he  refused 
the  offer  of  a  fine  position  in  San  Francisco,  as  the  opportunity  bad 
now  come  to  him  to  devote  his  entire  time  to  genealogical  research, 
a  work  absolutely  congenial  to  him  and  to  wh^h  he  had  for  several 
years  devoted  all  time  not  otherwise  engaged.  That  he  came  natu- 
rally by  his  great  love  for  genealogical  research  is  plainly  seen  when 
we  consider  that  he  was  the  grandson  of  Alfred  Andrews  of  New 
Britain,  Connecticut,  who  spent  so  many  years  in  work  of  this 
kind,  and  whose  labors  bore  fruit  in  the  "Andrews  Memorial," 
"  Hart  Genealogy,**  and  "  Genealogy  and  Ecclesiastical  Histoiy — 
First  Church,  New  Britain." 

He  established  a  studio  at  Los  Angeles,  and  devoted  himself  ex- 
clusively to  genealogical  work,  becoming  in  a  very  short  time  the 
recognized  authority  in  genealogy  and  heraldry  on  the  Pacific 
Coast.  The  work  which  he  accomplished  in  the  few  years  in  which 
he  was  engaged  in  genealogical  matters  was  surprisingly  large.  He 
compiled  many  family  histories — making  a  specialty  of  this  line  of 
work,  in  the  execution  of  which  he  was  enabled  to  show  his  superior 
artistic  taste,  in  addition  to  partially  compiling  and  entirely  editing 
the  Hinsdale  Genealogy  (the  manuscript  of  which  is  completed  and 
the  publication  expected  at  an  early  date),  and  he  had  also  com- 
piled the  Matson  Genealogy,  which  is  now  ready  to  go  into  the 
hands  of  the  printer,  as  well  as  completed  a  manuscript  of  1,000 
pages  on  "  Early  Connecticut  Families,"  besides  having  devoted 
much  time  and  attention  to  the  foreign  ancestry  of  many  of  the 
early  families  in  this  country.  For  some  months  before  and  at  the 
time  of  his  last  illness,  he  was  principally  engaged  on  the  history  of 
a  branch  of  the  Rindge  family,  and  he  kept  at  the  dearly  beloved 
manuscript  days  after  he  should  have  laid  it  down,  so  eagerly  did 
he  hold  on  to  his  life  work. 

In  December,  1904,  he  was  obliged  to  undergo  an  operation  for 
appendicitis,  but  which  upon  examination  proved  to  be  sarcoma  of 
a  very  aggravated  type.  He  apparently  recovered  from  the  opera- 
tion and  was  able  to  get  to  his  studio  and  to  attend  to  some  work, 
but  a  relapse  occurring,  he  was  brought  back  to  Chicago  in  April, 
and  failing  very  rapidly,  died,  after  much  intense  suffering,  on  May 
31,  1905.  His  funeral  took  place  at  the  home  of  his  parents  in 
Lombard,  Illinois,  and  his  remains  were  laid  to  rest  in  the  cemetery 
at  that  place.  The  following  tribute  was  paid  to  him  by  a  relative : 
"  What  makes  it  so  clear  in  regard  to  the  future  of  this  young  man 
is  that  he  seemed  before  he  left  us  to  have  made  adjustment  to  all 


MEMoms.  Izi 

the  conditions  passing  or  probable.  He  had  the  open  mind  and 
the  forward  look.  That  attitude  discovers  and  reveals.  It  is  not 
too  much  to  say  that  he  had  native  ability  to  enter  upon  any  of  the 
paths  open  to  human  effort.  But  better,  he  had  the  disposition  to 
work  along  any  or  all  of  them  as  exigency  might  seem  to  require. 
A  fine  scholar,  yet  he  made  a  valued  hand  in  a  lumber  mill.  He 
kept  the  guiding  thread  in  any  department  of  thought  and  action  to 
which  he  was  introduced.  The  last  year  of  his  life  shows  his  Plato 
read  and  marked.  His  mind  was  opened  once  and  forever  to  the 
treasures  of  literature.  When  he  left  us  he  was  an  authority  in 
genealogy  and  heraldry,  a  remarkable  result  for  a  man  so  young. 
Some  of  us  thought  that  this  study  would  inevitably  make  of  him  an 
historian.  We  are  sure  that  from  his  fine  sensibility  and  keen  per- 
ception, we  should  have  had  something  that  would  rank  high  in 
truth  and  taste." 

Although  only  twenty-two  years  of  age  at  the  time  of  his  death, 
he  has  left  a  distinct  mark,  and  this  Society  is  a  loser  by  his  untimely 
decease.  Realizing  what  he  had  already  accomplished  in  his  short 
life,  one  cannot  but  deplore  the  loss  of  what  he  undoubtedly  would 
have  done  had  he  been  allowed  to  live  the  allotted  '*  three  score 
years  and  ten." 

He  was  a  resident  member  of  the  New  England  Historic  Genea- 
logical Society,  elected  in  1904.

Joshua  Montgomery  Sears,  A.B.,  whose  death  occurred  at 
his  farm  in  Southborough,  Massachusetts,  June  2,  1905,  after  a 
somewhat  protracted  illness,  was  bom  at  Yarmouthport,  Massa- 
chusetts, December  25,  1854.  He  was  descended  in  direct  line 
from  Richard  Sears,  the  Pilgrim,  who  came  to  this  country  in  the 
"Leyden"in  1630. 

His  father,  Joshua  Sears,  born  at  Yarmouthport,  August  20, 
1791,  came  to  Boston  and  established  himself  in  business,  where 
from  small  beginnings  he  accumulated  a  large  fortune.  He  mar- 
ried, in  February,  1854,  Phoebe,  daughter  of  Deacon  Robert  Snow 
of  Brewster,  by  whom  he  had  only  one  child,  the  subject  of  this 
sketch.  Mrs.  Sears  died  January  1,  1855;  and  Mr.  Sears  two 
years  later,  February  7,  1857. 

A  good  part  of  the  early  life  of  Joshua  M.  Sears  was  passed  in 
the  family  of  the  late  Alpheus  Hardy,  who  was  one  of  the  trustees 
of  his  father's  estate.  He  attended  school  at  Andover,  Massachu- 
setts, going  later  to  Stuttgardt  and  Berlin,  and  from  there  to  Yale 
College,  where  he  graduated  in  the  class  of  1877.  While  in 
Europe,  he  became  the  owner  of  the  Freiligrath  and  Curtius  Li- 
braries, the  former  of  which  is  now  a  part  of  the  fine  library  in  the 


Ixii  N.  B.  HI8T0BI0  GENEALOGICAL  SOCIETY. 

Boston  house  on  Arlington  Street ;  the  latter  he  presented  to  Yale 
College. 

He  married,  September  17,  1877,  Sarah  Carlisle,  daughter  of 
Charles  F.  Cboate,  then  of  Cambridge,  Massachusetts,  who,  with 
two  children,  a  son  and  daughter,  survives  him.  In  college,  Mr. 
Sears  was  a  member  of  the  base-ball  nine  of  his  class,  and  all  through 
life  he  showed  an  active  interest  in  athletics.  As  a  business  man, 
he  was  connected  with  many  important  interests.  He  was  for  many 
years  a  director  of  the  Second  National  Bank,  the  Massachusetts 
Hospital  Life  Insurance  Company,  and  the  Old  Colony  Railroad. 
He  was  treasurer  for  over  twenty  years  of  the  Children's  Hospital. 

He  was  prominent  in  the  yachting  world,  as  one  of  the  syndicate 
which  built  the  defender  "Puritan,"  and  as  the  owner  of  many  fine 
yachts.  His  latest  purchase,  the  steam  yacht  "  Sultana,"  was  being 
fitted  out  for  a  summer  cruise  at  the  time  of  his  death.  He  passed 
much  of  his  time — as  much  as  his  business  cares  would  permit — on 
his  beautiful  farm  in  Southborough,  and  devoted  a  great  deal  of 
thought  and  energy  to  its  development.  Of  all  his  possessions,  this 
was  the  nearest  and  dearest  to  him ;  and  it  was  there  he  turned  when 
his  last  and  fatal  illness  came  upon  him. 

Mr.  Sears  was  a  man  of  generous  impulses,  devoted  to  his  friends, 
and  always  ready  to  help  others,  giving  freely  of  his  time  and  money. 
In  college  he  assisted  many  of  his  class-mates ;  many  struggling 
musicians  have  been  the  recipients  of  his  bounty ;  and  his  charities 
to  all  have  been  without  number — all  done  without  ostentation  or 
show  of  any  kind,  known  to  none  outside  the  beneficiaries  except 
those  intimately  connected  with  his  business  affairs. 

He  was  a  life  member  of  this  Society,  elected  in  1881.

Charles  William  Darling  died  June  22,  1905,  in  Asbury 
Park,  New  Jersey.  He  was  born  October  11,  1830,  in  New 
Haven,  Connecticut,  and  was  the  son  of  Rev.  Charles  Chauncey 
Darling,  a  Presbyterian  clergyman  of  New  York  City,  by  his  wife 
Adeline  E.,  daughter  of  William  and  Eliza  Dana  of  Boston,  Mas- 
sachusetts, and  granddaughter  of  Robert  Davis,  an  oflicer  of  ar- 
tillery in  the  war  of  the  Revolution.  His  grandfather.  Dr.  Samuel 
Darling,  a  graduate  of  Yale,  and  a  physician  of  New  Haven, 
married  Clarinda,  daughter  of  Rev.  Richard  Ely  of  Saybrook, 
Connecticut.  His  great-grandfather.  Judge  Thomas  Darling  of 
New  Haven,  who  married  Abigail  Noyes  (granddaughter  of  Rev. 
James  Pierpont  of  New  Haven,  one  of  the  founders  of  Yale  College), 
was  the  son  of  Samuel  Darling,  who  was  born  in  Englftnd  in  1695, 
and  carae  to  New  Haven  in  1722,  where  he  died  in  1760. 

Charles  William  Darling  was  educated  in  New  York  City,  and 
graduated  from  New  York  University.     After  his  graduation,  he

traveled  in  England  and  on  the  continent.  Upon  his  return  to  the 
United.  States  he  connected  himself  with  the  National  Guard  of  the 
State  of  New  York,  and  when  Edwin  D.  Morgan  was  elected 
Governor  he  became  a  member  of  his  staff.  In  1864  he  was  ap- 
pointed aid-de-camp  on  the  staff  of  Gen.  Benjamin  F.  Butler,  then 
in  command  of  the  Army  of  the  James.  The  following  year,  when 
Reuben  E.  Fenton  was  elected  Governor,  he  received  an  appoint- 
ment on  his  staff  as  assistant  paymaster  general,  and  in  1867  he 
was  appointed  military  engineer-in-chief  of  the  State  of  New  York, 
with  the  rank  of  brigadier-general. 

Gen.  Darling  in  1869  again  visited  England,  and  was  the  re- 
cipient of  many  courtesies  from  the  English  authorities.  He  sub- 
sequently traveled  extensively  in  Europe,  Asia  and  Africa,  and  his 
absence  abroad  covered  a  period  of  about  ten  years.  Upon  his  re- 
turn, in  1879,  he  removed  from  New  York  City  to  Utica,  New 
York,  where  he  resided  until  his  death.  He  was  connected  with 
many  historical  and  scientific  societies;  was  a  member  of  the 
American  Authors'  Guild ;  associate  member  of  the  Victoria  Insti- 
tute of  India ;  honorary  member  of  the  Egyptian  Exploration  Com- 
pany, and  secretary  of  the  fund  for  the  promotion  of  its  work. 
For  several  years  he  was  president  of  the  Young  Men's  Christian 
Association.  He  was  a  corresponding  member  of  this  Society, 
elected  in  1885. 

Gen.  Darling  married,  in  1857,  Angeline  E.,  daughter  of  Jacob 
A.  Robertson  of  New  York  City.     He  left  no  immediate  family. 

From  the  Xno  York  Genealogical  and  Biographical  Record. 

Rev.  George  Edward  Day,  D.D.,  elder  son  of  Gad  and  Rox- 
anna  (Rice)  Day,  was  a  descendant  of  Robert  Day,  who  came 
from  Ipswich,  England,  to  Boston,  Massachusetts,  in  the  bark 
**  Elizabeth  "  in  April,  1634,  and  was  one  of  the  original  proprietors 
of  Hartford,  Connecticut,  having  probably  journeyed  thither  through 
the  wilderness  with  Rev.  Thomas  Hooker  in  1636.  Through  his 
mother  he  was  descended  from  Thomas  Yale,  uncle  of  Elihu  Yale, 
in  whose  honor  Yale  College  received  its  name.  He  was  bom 
March  19,  1815,  in  Pittsfield,  Massachusetts,  but  in  1822  removed 
with  his  parents  to  New  Haven,  Connecticut. 

After  graduation  from  Yale  College  in  1833,  he  taught  two  years 
in  the  Institution  for  the  Deaf  and  Dumb  in  New  York  City.  In 
the  education  of  this  class  he  was  deeply  interested,  and  in  1836, 
while  a  student  in  the  Yale  Seminary,  wrote  on  the  subject  for  the 
American  Journal  of  Science.  The  results  of  his  investigations, 
made  by  request  during  subsequent  visits  abroad,  were  published 
in  a  *'  Report  on  Institutions  for  the  Deaf  and  Dumb  in  Europe, 
especially  Germany,"  in  1845,  and  in  one  on  similar  institutions  in 
Holland  and  Paris,  in  1861.     On  completing  his  theological  course

in  1838,  before  entering  the  active  ministiy,  he  was  Instructor  in 
Sacred  Literature  in  the  Yale  Divinity  School  for  two  years.  He 
was  ordained  pastor  of  the  Union  (Congregational)  Church  in 
Marlborough,  Maasachusetts,  December  2,  1840,  continued  there 
seven  years,  and  then  from  January,  1848,  to  May,  1851,  filled 
the  pastorate  of  the  Edwards  Church,  Northampton,  Massachusetts. 

Following  ten  years  of  pastoral  work,  he  was  for  fifteen  years 
Professor  of  Biblical  Literature  in  Lane  Theological  Seminary  at 
Cincinnati,  Ohio.  In  1863  he  established  The  Theological  Eclec- 
tic^ which  he  edited  through  seven  volumes,  when  it  was  merged 
with  the  Bibliotheca  Sactxi,  While  abroad  in  the  summer  of 
1865  he  purchased  in  Great  Britain  and  on  the  continent  large  ad- 
ditions for  the  library  of  Lane  Seminary.  In  April,  1866,  he  re- 
turned to  New  Haven  as  Professor  of  the  Hebrew  Language  and 
Literature  and  Biblical  Theology  in  the  Yale  Divinity  School,  and 
maintained  his  official  connection  with  the  school  to  the  close  of  his 
long  life.  The  value  of  his  services  in  the  erection  of  the  present 
buildings  was  gratefully  acknowledged  by  his  associates,  and  his 
self-sacrificing  devotion  to  his  work,  both  in  instruction  and  outside 
of  the  class-room,  was  manifest.  In  1888  he  became  Dean  of  the 
Divinity  School,  and  for  three  or  four  years  thereafter  shared  the 
duties  of  his  professorship  with  Professor  Harper,  afterwards 
President  of  Chicago  University.  Upon  his  retirement  from  the 
office  of  Dean  in  1895,  he  was  made  Professor  Emeritus. 

Professor  Day  retained  his  enthusiasm  for  linguistic  study,  ao- 
quiring  new  languages  even  in  his  later  years.  He  translated  from 
the  Dutch  Van  Oosterzee's  *'  Biblical  Theology  of  the  New  Testa- 
ment" in  1871,  and  edited  an  American  edition  of  Oehler's  '"Bib- 
lical Theology  of  the  Old  Testament"  in  1883.  By  taste  and 
experience  he  was  well  fitted  for  his  share  in  the  revision  of  the 
English  version  of  the  Bible,  and  served  as  secretary  of  the  Ameri- 
can Revision  Committee,  and  a  member  of  the  Old  Testament 
Company  from  its  formation  in»1871.  He  was  thoroughly  familiar 
with  the  history  and  present  condition  of  the  great  missionary  work 
of  the  church,  and  at  his  own  expense  collected  and  catalogued  an 
exceedingly  valuable  missionary  library,  now  numbering  about  seven 
thousand  five  hundred  volumes.  This  he  gave  to  the  Yale  Divinity 
School,  and  also  provided  funds  for  its  maintenance  and  increase. 
He  was  active  in  eff^orts  which  resulted  in  the  erection  of  a  monu- 
ment to  Rev.  John  Robinson,  the  "Pilgrim "  pastor  in  Leyden. 

Professor  Day  died  July  2,  1905,  in  his  ninety-first  year.  In- 
juries resulting  from  a  fall  had  confined  him  to  his  house  for  fifteen 
months  previous.  He  married,  in  1843,  Amelia  H.,  daughter  of 
Henry  and  Mary  Oaks.  She  died  in  1875,  and  he  afterward  mar- 
ried Olivia  Clarke  Hotchkiss,  who  survives  him.     The  latter  was

the   daughter   of  Lewis    and   Hannah    (Trowbridge)    Hotchkiss. 
There  were  no  children  by  either  marriage. 

Professor  Day  compiled  "A  Genealogical  Register  of  the  De- 
scendants in  the  Male  Line  of  Robert  Day,  of  Hartford,  Conn., 
who  died  in  1648,"  first  edition,  New  Haven,  1840 ;  second  edition,

a  member  of  the  Royal  Asiatic  Society  of  Japan,  and  a  correspond- 
ing member  of  the  American  Oriental  Society  from  1848.

Jacob  Chester  Chamberlain,  B.A.,  M.S.,  died  in  New  York, 
July  28,  1905,  aged  forty-five.  Descended  in  the  seventh  gener- 
ation from  William*  Chamberlain  of  £ngland,  whose  appearance 
of  record  in  New  England  was  in  1648,  he  was  bom  in  India, 
July  3,  1860,  eldest  son  of  Jacob'  Chamberlain,  M.D.,  D.D. 
(Jacob,*  Isaac,'  Isaac,*  Jacob,*  Jacob*),  and  Charlotte  (Birge) 
Chamberlain,  daughter  of  Chester  Birge.  He  married  at  Albany, 
New  York,  June  12,  1895,  Annie  Mary  Irwin,  daughter  of  Wil- 
liam P.  Irwin.  Mrs.  Chamberlain  and  an  only  child,  Anna  Irwin, 
survive. 

Having  been  graduated  with  honor  from  Eutgers  College,  New 
Brunswick,  New  Jersey,  in  1882,  he  took  a  post-graduate  course 
in  chemistry,  and  thereafter  devoted  himself  to  electrical  research 
and  engineering.  He  was  actively  connected  with  several  of  the 
great  electrical  undertakings  of  the  last  twenty  years  in  this  country, 
and  patented  important  electrical  inventions.  A  pioneer  and  leader 
in  the  application  of  electric  motive-power  to  boats,  he  was,  at  the 
time  of  his  death,  general  manager  of  the  Automatic  Refrigerating 
Company.  Holding  the  degree  of  Master  of  Science,  he  became 
one  of  the  early  members  of  the  American  Institute  of  Electrical 
Engineers.  He  was  one  of  the  governing  board  of  the  New  York 
Engineers'  Club,  and  an  influential  member  of  the  Colonial  Club, 
the  Marine  Field  Club,  and  the  Grolier  Club.  In  the  objects  of  the 
Grolier  Club  he  was  specially  interested,  and  his  collection  of  first 
editions  of  early  American  authors  was  already  regarded  as  one  of 
the  best  in  the  United  States.  To  the  enlarginjr  and  perfecting 
of  that  collection,  he  was  constantly  and  enthusiastically  devoted. 

He  was  also  an  experienced,  accomplished  genealogist.  One  of 
the  founders  and  most  generous  supporters  of  the  Chamberlain 
Association  of  America,  he  gave  to  it  much  of  its  early  inspiration 
in  genealogical  directions.  At  the  time  of  his  death  he  was  en- 
gaged in  genealogical  researches  whose  scope  far  exceeded  the 
Chamberlain  ancestry  in  America.  Yet  his  highest  excellence  was 
not  in  his  notable  electrical  discoveries  and  achievements ;  nor  in  hift 
marked  business  success;   nor  in  his  skilful,  important  work  b%

bibliophile  and  genealogist.  His  highest  worth  was  in  his  character 
and  personal  culture.  He  was  faithful  to  the  welfare  of  both  his 
city  and  his  country.  In  him  gentleness  was  blended  with  strength, 
and  amiableness  with  resolute  integrity.  Well  bom  and  well 
brought  up,  he  appeared,  even  to  those  who  knew  him  most  inti- 
mately, to  have  no  remotest  inclination  to  any  form  of  dishonor. 
Comely,  courteous,  joyous,  with  a  genius  for  friendship,  he  was  the 
light  of  his  beautifiil  home,  a  centre  of  attraction  among  many 
acquaintances,  and  an  example  of  perfect  uprightness  in  wide  busi- 
ness relations.  He  was^  all  in  all,  a  Christian  gentleman  of  rarely 
noble  type. 

He  was  a  resident  member  of  this  Society,  elected  in  1896.

Joseph  Foster,  M .A.,  the  antiquary  and  genealogist,  was  bom 
in  Sunderland,  England,  March  9,  1844,  the  son  of  Joseph  and 
Elizabeth  (Taylor)  Foster.  He  was  a  nephew  of  Birket  Foster, 
the  artist.  Educated  in  private  schools  of  North  Shields,  Sunder- 
land, and  Newcastle-on-Tyne,  he  inherited  his  genealogical  faculty 
from  his  grandfather,  Myles  Birket  Foster.  After  editing  four 
volumes  of  Lancashire  and  Yorkshire  pedigrees,  he  transcribed  the 
admission  registers  of  the  four  Inns  of  Court,  a  herculean  task, 
extending  over  several  years.  The  acquisition  of  the  register  of 
our  oldest  University,  coupled  with  those  of  the  Inns  of  Court, 
with  which  they  dovetail,  illustrating  and  annotating  each  other, 
materially  strengthened  Mr.  Foster's  position ;  but  still,  before  he 
could  hope  to  grapple  effectually  with  so  arduous  a  task  as  the  anno- 
tation of  the  earlier  "  Alumni  Oxoniensis,"  it  was  necessary  that  all 
the  Bishops'  certificates  of  institutions  to  livings  (since  the  reforma- 
tion), now  deposited  in  the  Public  Record  Office,  should  be  laid 
under  contribution,  with  the  result  that  we  have  these  150,000 
institutions,  etc. ,  alphabetically  arranged  as  a  clergy  list,  and  have 
Mr.  Foster's  greatest  work  comprised  in  eight  volumes. 

His  best  known  critical  work  was  undoubtedly  **  Chaos,"  under 
which  category  he  classed  for  the  first  time  all  known  "  soi-disant 
baronets."  "^ Chaos"  formed  a  minor  portion  of  the  "Peerage, 
Baronage  and  Knightage,"  compiled  and  edited  by  Mr.  Foster  in 
1880-1884,  for  the  pedigrees  of  which  the  records  of  the  Heralds' 
College  were  unreservedly  placed  at  his  service.  From  the  study 
of  this  prolific  worker  have  also  emanated  such  useful  works  as 
''Men  at  the  Bar,"  "Scottish  Members  of  Parliament,  1857-1882," 
"Gray's  Inn  Admission  Register,  1521-1889,"  "Our  Noble  and 
Gentle  Families  of  Royal  Descent,"  and  several  minor  family  histo- 
ries. Within  recent  years  have  been  published  "Some  Feudal  Coats 
of  Arms,"  "Two  Tudor  Books  of  Arms,"  "Some  Feudal  Lords  and

their  Seatfl,"  and  ** Banners,  Standards,  and  Badges,"  the  last  three 
of  which  Mr.  Foster  edited  for  the  De  Walden  Library. 

Mr.  Foster  married,  August  12,  1869,  Catherine  Clark,  daugh- 
ter of  George  Pocock.  He  was  a  corresponding  member  of  this 
Society,  elected  in  1883.     He  died  in  London,  July  29,  1905. 

This  sketch  is  chiefly  from  the  London  Time*. 

Leandee  Miller  Haskins,  of  Rockport,  Massachusetts,  who 
died  in  that  town,  August  1,  1905,  aged  sixty-three,  was  a  life 
member  of  this  Society  from  1889.  He  was  a  native  of  Rockport, 
born  June  20,  1842,  was  fitted  for  college  at  Phillips  Andover 
Academy,  and  was  graduated  at  Dartmouth  College  in  1862.  He 
then  taught  school  in  his  native  town,  and  afterwards  employed  him- 
self in  civil  engineering.  In  1863,  during  the  Civil  War,  he  was 
appointed  clerk  in  the  commissary  department  of  the  army,  and 
was  attached  to  the  Nineteenth  Army  Corps.  He  became  later  a 
clerk  in  the  Navy  Department. 

After  the  war,  he  engaged  in  the  fish  and  commission  business 
on  Long  Wharf,  Boston,  and  in  this  business  he  was  engaged  at 
the  time  of  his  death.  He  was  one  of  the  pioneers  in  the  fish 
isinglass  business.  He  served  as  a  representative  in  the  legislature 
for  one  year.  He  was  a  director  in  the  Faneuil  Hall  National 
Bank  of  Boston,  and  in  the  Rockport  National  Bank,  and  other  cor- 
porations ;  and  was  a  member  of  the  Boston  Art  Club,  and  many 
other  organizations.  He  was  also  interested  in  yachting.  He  was 
married,  his  wife  dying  some  years  before  him,  and  he  is  survived 
by  an  adopted  daughter,  Louise  Canfield,  of  Montclair,  New  Jersey. 

By  his  will,  Mr.  Haskins  named  his  adopted  daughter  as  residu- 
ary legatee,  and  provided  that  there  shall  be  established  first  a  trust 
fiind  of  $65,000,  to  continue  fifteen  years  after  the  execution  of 
the  will.  After  enumerating  how  the  income  shall  be  distributed 
among  relatives  and  friends,  direction  was  given  that  the  income 
of  one  thousand  dollars  be  given  to  the  First  Congregational  Church 
of  Rockport  for  general  purposes,  and  the  income  of  another  thou- 
sand to  the  public  library  in  that  place,  for  the  purchase  of  books. 
From  the  trust  fund  the  following  religious  organizations  in  Rock- 
port will  receive  the  amounts  named  :  First  Congregational  Church, 
ten  thousand  dollars  for  a  parsonage  fund;  Methodist,  Baptist, 
Universalist,  Episcopal,  and  Catholic  churches,  each  three  hundred 
dollars.  The  house  and  thirty  acres  of  land  in  Rockport,  and  forty 
acres  more  in  Rockport,  are  to  be  used  for  hospital  and  park  pur- 
poses. After  these  provisions  are  carried  out,  ten  thousand  dollars 
is  to  be  set  apart,  the  income  to  be  used  to  aid  worthy  indigent 
students  of  Rockport  in  taking  courses  in  Dartmouth  College  or  the 
Massachusetts  Institute  of  Technology,  the  first  named  to  be  pre- 
ferred.

George  Trumbull  Hartshorn,  A.M.,  was  born  in  Worcester, 
Massachusetts,  October  20,  1860,  and  the  only  child  of  George 
Franklin  and  Isabella  Frink  (Trambull)  Hartshorn. 

He  was  fitted  for  college  at  Adams  Academy,  Quincy,  and 
entered  Harvard  in  1878.  After  graduating  from  Harvard  Coll^ 
in  1882,  he  pursued  the  study  of  chemistry,  and,  in  1883,  took  the 
degree  of  Master  of  Arts.  He  was  for  three  years  instructor  of 
chemistry  in  Harvard  College,  working  in  association  with  Professor 
Charles  Jackson.  In  1886  he  gave  up  his  work  at  Harvard  and 
went  to  Taunton,  where  for  some  years  he  went  on  with  his  chemi- 
cal research  work. 

On  November  17,  1891,  he  married  Miss  Alice  Roberts  of  Cam- 
bridge, Massachusetts.  They  had  one  son,  George  Dean  Ebirts- 
hom.  The  last  few  years  of  Mr.  Hartshorn's  life  were  devoted 
almost  entirely  to  the  study  of  musical  composers  and  their  works. 
Of  an  intensely  musical  nature,  and  gifted  with  a  rare  facility  of 
playing  easily  any  musical  instrument,  all  branches  of  the  study 
interested  him,  and  he  collected  a  fine  library  of  old  and  rare  musi- 
cal books. 

Mr.  Hartshorn  died  August  22,  1905,  at  his  home  in  Taunton, 
after  an  illness  of  several  months.     He  was  a  resident  member  of 
this  Society,  elected  in  1892.

Frederick  Hastings  Rindoe  was  bom  in  Cambridge,  Massa- 
chusetts, December  21,  1857,  and  died  in  Yreka,  California,  Au- 
gust 29,  1905.  He  was  the  son  of  Samuel  Baker  Rindge,  a  mer- 
chant of  large  estate,  whose  acts  of  private  beneficence  and  public 
liberality  have  left  a  permanent  impress  upon  Boston  and  Cambridge. 

In  early  youth  he  attended  the  schools  of  Cambridge  and  Boston, 
receiving  his  final  preparation  for  college  from  Dr.  James  Laurence 
Laughlin.  During  his  vacations,  and  while  a  young  lad,  his  mind 
was  broadened  by  extensive  travel  under  the  direction  of  his  father. 
In  1870  he  went  to  California,  and  during  1871  and  1872  he  visited 
most  of  the  places  of  interest  in  Europe.  Entering  Harvard  Col- 
lege, he  was  graduated  in  1879.  His  whole  life  was  an  exempli- 
fication of  the  stern  rule  of  probity  and  religious  adherence  to  the 
principles  which  characterized  his  forefathers,  softened  by  a  gentle 
consideration  for  the  opinions  of  those  difiering  from  him,  and  by 
charity  for  the  frailties  of  the  erring. 

After  the  close  of  his  college  career,  he  was  called  to  assume  the 
grave  responsibilities  of  his  father's  estate.  Those  responsibilities 
were  borne  in  a  manner  surpassing  the  expectations  of  his  most 
sanguine  friends,  as  the  record  of  the  many  official  and  private 
resolutions   and  testimonials  from  his  native  city,  and  his  many

He  was  prostrated  in  the  hut  jear  of  his  coUe^  couree  bj  an 
ilhiess,  firom  which  he  suffered  during  the  remainder  of  his  life. 

On  Maj  27,  1887,  he  was  married  to  Mias  Rhoda  Maj  Knight, 
of  Trenton,  Michigan,  the  daughter  of  James  and  Rhoda  Lathrop 
Knight,  and  from  this  marriage  were  bom  two  sons  and  a  daugh- 
ter : — Samuel  Knight,  at  Los  Angeles,  April  9,  1888 ;  Fredenck 
Hastings,  Jr.,  at  Bedondo,  September  5, 1890 ;  uid  Rhoda  Agatha, 
at  SanU  Monica,  April  20,  1893. 

Early  in  lus  California  life,  Mr.  Rindge  purchased  the  historic 
Rancho  Topanga  Malibu,  a  tract  of  many  thousands  of  acres  of  most 
picturesque  mountain,  valley  and  canon.  Here  he  erected  a  com- 
modious residence,  and  in  his  charming  book,  **  Happy  Days  in 
Southern  California,"  he  has  given  a  graphic  account  of  this  moun- 
tain home  and  his  happy  life  there  vrith  lus  family. 

A  few  years  since  he  changed  lus  residence  to  Santa  Monica,  of 
which  he  was  one  of  the  most  enterprising  and  progressive  citizens. 

The  evils  of  intemperance  had  been  impressed  upon  his  heart 
from  his  youth,  and  he  gave  neither  countenance  nor  excuse  for  the 
sale  of  intoxicating  spirits.  He  devoted  his  best  energies  to  abolidi 
the  traffic.  A  member  and  trustee  of  the  Methodist  Episcopal 
Church  of  Santa  Monica,  by  his  generosity  the  religious  edifice  was 
greatly  enlarged,  beautified,  and  furnished.  Nor  did  his  activities 
in  the  religious  life  cease  with  his  removal  to  Los  Angeles.  He 
wrote  for  private  distribution  several  books  of  meditations,  and 
upon  his  election  as  President  of  the  Young  Men's  Christian  Asso- 
ciation in  Los  Angeles  he  instituted  measures  which  in  their  fruition 
will  give  to  that  organization  a  home  whose  equal  does  not  exist 
upon  the  Pacific  Coast.  He  once  said :  "  I  derive  the  greatest  sat- 
isfaction in  my  life  in  Christian  work." 

In  his  private  charities,  and  relief  for  the  destitute,  he  took  none 
into  his  entire  confidence,  and  not  until  the  great  record  shall  be 
read  will  be  known  the  story  of  all  his  good  deeds. 

His  public  benefactions  have  for  the  most  part  become  known. 
In  testimonial  of  the  love  for  his  native  place,  and  the  home  of  his 
ancestors,  he  erected  and  presented  to  the  city  of  Cambridge  its 
municipal  building,  a  public  library,  and  the  Didactic  Public 
Buildings,  and  he  founded  and  supported  for  many  years  the 
Manual  Training  School  for  boys.  In  Salem,  he  founded  and  en- 
dowed the  Children's  Island  Sanitarium. 

In  the  management  of  his  estate,  with  keen  foresight  and  dis- 
criminating judgment  he  invested  largely  in  California,  principally 
in  the  central  and  southern  sections,  and  with  the  improvements 
made   thereon,  these  have  greatly  increased  in  value.     As  a  re-

laxation  from  his  many  business  obligations,  he  gave  considerable 
attention  to  scientific  research  and  the  early  history  of  America. 
He  was  a  life  member  of  the  New  England  Historical  and  Genea- 
logical Society,  elected  in  1885,  and  of  the  Archaeological  Institute 
of  America.  His  collections  in  numismatics  and  in  the  aboriginal 
fine  arts  were  of  such  value,  that  he  was  induced  to  place  them  in 
the  loan  exhibition  of  the  Peabody  Museum  of  Harvard  College 
and  the  Boston  Museum  of  Fine  Arts ;  and  in  the  hall,  erected  as 
an  annex  to  his  spacious  mansion  in  Los  Angeles,  he  gathered  an 
exhibit  of  the  Pacific  Coast  archaeology,  and  memorials  of  the  early 
history  of  California,  which  has  no  equal  among  private  collections. 

Upon  the  instititution  of  The  Harvard  Club  of  Southern  Cali- 
fornia, he  was  unanimously  elected  its  President ;  and  in  view  of  the 
expected  visit  to  Los  Angeles  of  Mr.  Roosevelt,  who  was  his  friend 
and  associate  in  college,  he  was  elected  for  a  second  term. 

Mr.  Kindge  was  a  descendant  of  Robert  Kinsman,  of  England, 
who  was  born  in  1629,  and  came  to  the  Massachusetts  Bay  Colony, 
settling  in  Ipswich.  His  daughter  Mary  was  married  to  Captain 
Daniel  Rindge  of  Ipswich. 

Mr.  Rindge  was  also  a  descendant  of  Daniel  Harrington,  who 
was  bom  and  died  in  Lexington,  Massachusetts,  a  participant  in  the 
fight  of  Lexington  and  Concord,  and  who  gave  patriotic  service 
during  the  War  of  the  Revolution,  retiring  with  the  rank  of  Cap- 
tain. His  young  son,  Levi  Harrington,  was  drummer  of  his  father's 
company,  and  participated  in  the  siege  of  Boston  and  in  subsequent 
campaigns.  He  was  also  descended  from  Samuel  Baker,  one  of  the 
Ipswich  Company,  which  marched  for  the  relief  of  Lexington  on 
April  19,  1775.

Timothy  Thompson  Sawyer,  Litt.D.,  was  bom  in  Charles- 
town,  Massachusetts,  January  7,  1817,  the  son  of  William  and 
Susanna  (Thompson)  Sawyer.  His  father  was  a  descendant  of 
Thomas  Sawyer  who  settled  in  Lancaster,  Massachusetts,  in  1634. 
Mr.  Sawyer's  mother  was  the  daughter  of  Timothy  and  Mary 
(Frothingham)  Thompson  of  Charlestown,  who  were  descendants 
of  James  Thompson  and  William  Frothingham,  both  of  whom 
were  members  of  the  company  who  came  over  with  Governor  Win- 
throp,  to  establish  a  colony,  in  1630. 

Mr.  Sawyer's  uncle  was  engaged  in  the  hardware  and  ship  chand- 
lery business  in  Merchants'  Row,  and  there  when  he  was  fourteen 
years  old,  Mr.  Sawyer  commenced  his  business  career,  and  there 
he  remained  until  the  death  of  his  uncle,  June  27,  1837.  He  then 
engaged  in  the  ship  chandlery  business  on  his  own  account,  until  a 
promising  opportunity  offered  to  join  a  new  firm  to  engage  in  the

shipment  of  ice.  The  style  of  the  Ice  Company  was  originally 
Gage,  Hittingerand  Company,  afterwards  Gage,  Sawyer  and  Com- 
pany. The  business  was  interesting  and  successful,  and  Mr.  Saw- 
yer continued  in  it  until  1860. 

Mr.  Sawyer  was  a  director  in  the  Bunker  Hill  Bank,  from  1851 
until  his  death,  and  was  president  from  1885  to  1890.  In  1854  he 
was  chosen  one  of  the  trustees  of  the  Warren  Institution  for  Sav- 
ings, and  was  president  of  the  Institution  from  1880  till  1903, 
when  he  resigned  on  account  of  advanced  age.  After  holding 
many  minor  offices  in  Charlestown,  Mr.  Sawyer  was  mayor  of  the 
city  for  three  years,  1855-1857,  and  was  in  1857  also  a  member 
of  the  House  of  Representatives  of  Massachusetts.  In  1858  he 
was  a  member  of  the  Senate.  In  1872,  after  the  resignation  of 
Edward  Lawrence,  the  first  president  of  the  Mystic  Water  Board, 
he  was  chosen  Mr.  Lawrence's  successor,  and  held  the  position  until 
Charlestown  was  annexed  to  Boston.  Afterwards,  when  the  Cochit- 
uate  and  Mystic  Water  Boards  were  merged  and  the  new  Boston 
Water  Board  commenced  its  duties,  he  was  chosen  chairman  of  that 
Board,  and  held  the  position  for  the  three  years  succeeding. 

Mr.  Sawyer  has  shown  some  literary  ability  and  has  written 
many  articles  for  the  local  papers.  Some  of  these  articles  have 
been  assembled  in  a  book  of  over  five  hundred  pages,  entitled  **  Old 
Charlestown,  Historical,  Biographical,  Reminiscent."  The  book  is 
an  interesting  and  graceful  memorial  of  the  many  eminent  citizens 
who  have  in  times  past  lived  under  the  shadow  of  Bunker  Hill. 
But  it  is  more  than  that.  It  is  a  complete  illustration  of  the  author's 
abounding  loving  kindness  towards  his  fellow  men. 

Mr.  Sawyer  was  one  of  the  original  organizers  and  one  of  the 
most  efficient  promoters  of  the  Public  Library  of  Charlestown,  and 
gave  to  it  liberally  from  his  private  funds.  He  was  president  of  its 
board  of  managers  from  the  time  of  its  opening,  January  1st,  1862, 
until  it  became  a  branch  of  the  Boston  Public  Library,  after  the 
two  cities  were  annexed  in  1874.  He  was  for  many  years  chair- 
man of  the  standing  committee  of  the  First  Universaiist  Church 
in  Charlestown.  For  more  than  forty  years,  he  was  one  of  the 
board  of  trustees  of  Tufts  College.  In  1903  the  degree  of  Litt. 
D.  was  conferred  upon  him  by  the  college. 

Mr.  Sawyer  was  a  citizen  of  Charlestown  until  the  fall  of  1885, 
when  he  removed  to  Dartmouth  Street  in  Boston.  He  died  in 
Magnolia,  Massachusetts,  September  4,  1905.  He  was  a  most 
lovable  gentleman,  actuated  through  his  long  career  by  the  highest 
and  best  motives  only,  rejoicing  in  and  aiding  the  successes  or 
sympathizing  in  and  relieving  the  failures  of  others,  dispensing 
afiectionate  good  cheer  to  the  world  he  met,  and  ever  striving  to 
make  it  a  better  and  happier  world  for  his  having  lived  in  it.  He 
was  a  resident  member  of  this  Society,  admitted  in  1884.

Ixxii  N.  E.  HI8T0BI0  GENEALOGICAL  SOOIETT. 

Eluah  Brigham  Phillips,  (Ebenezer  Morgan/  Dr.  Ebenezer 
Humphrey,*  Ensign  Jonathan,*  Joseph,^  Theophilus,*  Rev.  George,* 
Christopher*),  was  born  in  West  Sutton,  Massachusetts,  August 
20,  1819,  and  died  at  his  home  in  Brookline,  September  13,  1905. 
His  ancestry  of  the  seventeenth  century  was  wholly  of  the  Puritan 
migration  and  within  the  Bay  Colony.  The  three  best  known  of  that 
clergy  were  among  his  ancestors,  George  Phillips  of  Watertown, 
Kichard  Mather  of  Dorchester,  and  John  Cotton  of  Boston. 

Mr.  Phillips's  schooling  was  obtained  in  the  Westborough  village 
schools,  supplemented  by  a  year  at  Leicester  Academy.  He  was, 
his  life  long,  an  insatiable  reader.  He  commanded  a  style  in  his 
correspondence  and  reports,  ready,  clear  and  direct.  He  liked  to 
recall  that  as  a  boy  he  had  trundled  flour  on  his  barrow  from  the 
Concord  store  to  the  door  of  the  Philosopher.  When  nineteen 
years  old,  he  entered  the  employ  of  the  Boston  and  Worcester  Rail- 
road Company  at  Boston,  and  thus  began  an  exceptional  career  of 
fifty  years  in  railroad  service.  These  years  coincided  with  the  half 
century  which  witnessed  the  commencement  and  development  of 
steam  transportation,  with  all  which  that  meant  to  the  world.  He 
played  a  not  unimportant  part  in  that  development.  He  was  in 
turn  Boston  freight  agent  of  the  Company,  its  general  agent^  and 
its  master  of  transportation. 

In  1852  he  was  called  to  Ohio,  as  superintendent  of  the  Cleve- 
land, Norwalk  and  Toledo  Railroad,  then  builditig.  Six  years 
later  he  returned  to  Boston,  as  superintendent  of  the  Boston  and 
Worcester  Railroad,  where  he  remained  seven  years.  He  was 
elected  in  September,  1865,  president  of  the  Michigan  Southern 
and  Northern  Indiana,  which  Company  united  with  its  neighbor,  in 
1869,  to  form  the  present  Lake  Shore  and  Michigan  Southern,  and 
he  was  the  first  president  of  the  consolidated  company.  The  fol- 
lowing year  he  organized  the  Phillips  and  Colby  Construction 
Company  to  build  the  Wisconsin  Central.  For  several  years  he 
operated  it  in  conjunction  with  the  Milwaukee  Northern. 

In  May,  1879,  he  was  chosen  president  of  the  Eastern  Railroad 
of  Massachusetts.  Shortly  after,  he  was  one  of  a  commission  of 
three  to  arbitrate  between  the  State  and  the  Fitchburg  Railroad. 
The  early  part  of  1883  he  devoted  to  the  management  of  the 
Toledo,  Cincinnati  and  St.  Louis  Railroad;  later  in  that  year  he 
was  elected  president  of  the  Fitchburg  Railroad.  Four  years  of 
negotiations  with  the  governor  and  his  council  representing  the 
State  ownership  of  the  Hoosac  Tunnel,  and  with  the  two  corpora- 
tions immediately  to  the  west  of  it,  resulted  in  the  union  of  the  four 
properties  in  one  organization.  He  retired  from  railroad  affairs  in 
1890,  having  completed  a  half  century  of  strenuous  railroad  work, 
during  which  he  had  been  foremost  in  introducing,  as  railroad  science

progressed,  the  many  new  methods  and  appliances  which  made  for 
eflSciency,  economy  and  safety. 

As  the  late  Henry  Pratt  of  the  Michigan  Central  Railroad  said 
of  him,  he  was  "a  good  disciplinarian ;  he  set  an  example  of  fidel- 
ity ;  he  hated  shams ;  faithful  to  the  interests  committed  to  his 
care ;  straightforward ;  an  example  of  commercial  honesty."  Bishop 
Charles  Edward  Cheney,  of  Chicago,  speaks  of: — "The  Christian 
faith,  the  spotless  integrity,  the  fidelity  to  conscience,  the  family 
affection,  the  never  wavering  loyalty  to  friends  which  marked  the 
long  life  of  Elijah  Brigham  Phillips." 

He  married,  February  2,  1845,  Maria  Rebecca,  daughter  of 
Henry  (born  in  1784  in  Walberton,  co.  Sussex,  England)  and 
Mehitable  (Copeland)  Ayling,  of  Boston.  A  devoted  and  happy 
union  of  forty-nine  years  was  severed  by  the  death  of  his  wife,  May 
2,  1894.     Their  three  children  survive  them. 

Mr.  Phillips  became  a  resident  member  of  this  Society  in  1890. 

Hon.  James  Madison  Barker,  LL.D.,  of  Pittsfield,  Massa- 
chusetts, Judge  of  the  Supreme  Court  of  the  State,  died  suddenly 
in  Boston,  October  3,  1905.  He  was  a  resident  member  of  the 
Society  since  1901.  He  was  born  in  Pittsfield,  October  23,  1839, 
the  son  of  John  V.  and  Sarah  (Apthorp)  Barker. 

He  enjoyed  the  best  educational  advantages,  preparing  for  col- 
lege in  the  public  schools  of  his  native  town,  at  Hinsdale  Academy 
and  at  Williston  Seminary.  Entering  Williams  College  in  1856, 
he  was  graduated  with  high  rank  in  the  class  of  1860.  He  studied 
law,  first  in  a  law  oflSce  at  Bath,  New  York,  and  in  1862  and  1863 
at  Harvard  Law  School.  In  the  latter  year  he  was  admitted  to  the 
Massachusetts  bar,  and  at  once  formed  a  partnership  with  Major 
Charles  N.  Emerson  of  Pittsfield,  a  lawyer  of  note,  who  served 
with  distinction  through  the  Civil  War.  Two  years  later.  Major 
Emerson  was  appointed  to  the  internal  revenue  service,  and  Mr. 
Barker  became  associated  with  Thomas  P.  Pingree  in  the  practice 
of  the  law,  the  partnership  continuing  until  Judge  Barker's  elevation 
to  the  bench.  This  was  in  November,  1882,  when  a  vacancy  oc- 
curred on  the  Superior  Court  bench. 

His  wide  knowledge  of  the  law,  keenness  of  comprehension,  ana- 
lytic quality  of  mind,  and  aptitude  for  clear  incisive  statement,  con- 
tributed to  his  success  as  a  judge,  and  the  record  shows  that  while 
on  that  bench  his  rulings  were  upheld  in  large  measure  upon  appeal 
to  the  Supreme  Court.  His  reputation  for  courtesy  and  firmness 
was  equally  in  his  favor,  and  when  Judge  William  Allen  died,  in 
1891,  he  was  appointed  to  the  vacant  seat  on  the  bench  of  the 
Supreme  Judicial  Court.  Before  his  connection  with  the  judicial 
branch  of  government  removed  him  from  active   participation  in

politics,  Mr.  Barker  was  prominent  in  the  councils  of  the  Republican 
party.  He  was  in  the  Massachusetts  House  of  Representatives  in 
1872  and  1873,  serving  on  the  Committee  on  Railroads.  In  con- 
sequence of  the  great  fire  in  Boston,  which  occurred  on  the  9th  and 
10th  of  November,  1872,  the  Legislature  was  convened  in  special 
session.  It  was  during  this  extra  session  that  the  memorable  reso- 
lution censuring  Charles  Sumner  was  adopted  by  a  vote  of  103  yeas 
and  66  nays.     Mr.  Barker  was  recorded  in  the  negative. 

Near  the  close  of  the  session  of  1874  a  resolve  authorizing  the 
appointment  of  a  commission  to  inquire  into  the  expediency  of  re- 
vising and  amending  the  laws  of  the  State  relating  to  the  taxation 
and  exemptions  therefrom  was  passed,  and  Mr.  Barker  was  appointed 
on  the  commission.  In  1881  and  1882,  Mr.  Barker  was  a  member 
of  the  State  Commission  to  revise  the  Public  Statutes.  In  June, 
1880,  Mr.  Barker  was  a  member  of  the  delegation  sent  by  Massa- 
chusetts to  the  Republican  National  Convention  at  Chicago.  He 
was  foremost  among  the  opponents  of  a  third  term  for  General 
Grant.  He  also  was  a  worker  for  the  civil  service  reform  plank 
that  went  into  the  platform  of  that  year. 

Mr.  Barker  married  at  Bath,  New  York,  September  21,  1862, 
Helena,  daughter  of  Levi  Carter  and  Pamelia  (Nelson)  Whiting. 
Mrs.  Barker  died  April  11,  1889.  The  Barker  home  has  always 
been  in  Pittsfield.  Justice  Barker  had  seven  children,  and  five  sur- 
vive him.  His  son  John  is  a  member  of  the  bar.  His  daughter 
Mary  was  married  to  Harry  G.  Day,  Esq.,  of  New  Haven.  His 
other  daughters  were  Alice,  Olive,  and  Elizabeth. 

George  Edward  Athkrton,  a  resident  member  of  this  Society 
since  1897,  died  in  Brookline,  Massachusetts,  October  31,  1905. 
He  was  born  in  Charlestown,  Massachusetts,  May  2,  1845.  His 
father,  Samuel  Athcrton,  was  a  descendant  of  Maj.-Gen.  Humphrey* 
Atherton  who  came  to  this  country  in  1G35.  The  line  to  George 
Edward'*  was  through  Consider,'  Humphrey,'  John,*  John,*  Sam- 
uel,® Samuel.^  His  mother.  Temperance  Holbrook,  was  the  daugh- 
ter of  Col.  Joseph  and  Mary  (Rich)  Holbrook. 

He  was  educated  at  Chauncy  Hall  School,  Boston,  and  in  the 
public  schools  of  Dorchester,  Massachusetts.  He  spent  his  early 
life  in  Dorchester,  and  started  in  his  business  life  with  his  father  in 
the  leather  business,  from  which  he  retired  about  1894.  He  was 
married  first,  September  15,  1869,  to  Emma  A.  CoflSn  of  Wake- 
field, Massachusetts,  by  whom  he  had  two  children,  Edith  and 
George  Edward.  His  first  wife  was  the  daughter  of  Nathaniel  R. 
Coffin,  and  her  death  occurred  December  11,  1879.  He  was  mar- 
ried second  to  Isabelle  King  Ray  of  Andover,  Massachusetts, 
June  2,  1881.     His  second  wife  was  the  daughter  of  Frederick  Ray. 


MEMOIRS.  IXXV 

By  his  second  marriage  he  had  three  children,  Ray,  Ellen  Parker, 
who  died  when  an  infant,  and  Emma.  After  his  second  marriage, 
he  removed  from  Dorchester  to  Brookline. 

Mr.  Atherton  was  a  member  of  the  Union  Club  of  Boston,  and 
trustee  of  several  estates. 

Rev.  Myron  Samuel  Dudley,  A.M.,  a  resident  member  of  this 
Society  since  1899,  died  November  17,  1905.  At  the  time  of  his 
death  he  was  acting  pastor  of  the  Congregational  Church  in  New- 
ington.  New  Hampshire.  He  was  born  in  Peru,  Vermont,  Febru- 
ary 20,  1837,  was  graduated  with  honor  at  Williams  College  in 
1863,  and  from  Union  Theological  Seminary  in  1869,  and  also 
studied  a  year  in  Andover  Theolgical  Seminary.  He  was  acting 
pastor  at  Otego,  New  York,  1869-70;  ordained  September  28, 
1871 ;  acting  pastor,  Peacham,  Vermont,  1871-72  ;  pastor,  Crom- 
well, Connecticut,  1874-1885.  Later  he  had  pastorates  in  North 
Wilbraham,  Massachusetts,  1886-'89,  and  Nantucket,  1889-'97. 

He  was  a  descendant  of  the  Dudleys  of  Concord,  Massachusetts, 
through  Francis,*  Samuel,*  Samuel,'  Stephen,*  Gen.  Peter,*  and 
Gen.  Stephen*,  his  father.  (''Dudley  Family,"  page  599.)  His 
parents  were  Stephen  and  Lydia  (Davis)  Dudley.  He  received 
his  education  first  in  the  common  schools,  and  later  in  academies  in 
Londonderry,  Vermont,  and  Manchester,  Vermont.  At  first  he 
had  planned  to  become  a  civil  engineer,  and  at  one  time  he  taught 
Latin  and  Greek  in  Burr  and  Burton  Seminary,  at  Manchester, 
Vermont.  In  1863,  while  teaching  school  in  place  of  a  brother,  in 
Kentucky,  he  carried  out  his  resolution  to  enter  the  army.  There- 
fore he  returned  to  Vermont,  and  enlisted  in  the  Fifth  Vermont 
Volunteers,  then  stationed  in  Virginia.  From  a  private  in  this 
veteran  regiment  he  rose  through  the  grades  of  sergeant  and  first 
lieutenant  to  the  position  of  captain.  He  was  wounded  in  the 
Battle  of  the  Wilderness,  but  shared,  however,  with  his  regiment 
in  the  victories  of  the  Shenandoah  Valley,  and  in  the  campaign 
about  Petersburg.  He  was  mustered  out  with  his  regiment  in 
June,  1865. 

He  was  married  first  to  Martha  M.  Hale,  August  20,  1873,  who 
died  July  20,  1876.  By  this  marriage  he  had  a  daughter,  who 
died  young.  He  was  married  second  to  Sarah  D.  Todd,  a  daughter 
of  Rev.  John  Todd,  D.D.,  the  well-known  author.  This  wife  died 
October  26,  1884 ;  and  he  was  married  third  to  Mary  Elizabeth 
Marrett,  September  14,  1892,  who  survives  him. 

He  published  a  "  Historial  Sermon  at  the  re-dedication  of  the 
Congregational  Church,  Peacham,  Vt.,  1874";  a  ''History  of 
Cromwell,  Conn.,"  1881;  "Funeral  Sermon  of  Ira  Hutchinson, 
M.D.,"  Cromwell,  1881 ;  a  sketch  of  Cromwell,  in  the  History  of 


IxX?i  N.  E.   HISTORIC  GENEALOGICAL  SOCIETT. 

Middlesex  County,  Connecticut,  1884.  He  had  also  written  a 
history  of  his  college  class  :  "  Class  of  Sixty-Three,  Williams  Col- 
lege. By  the  Class  Historian,  1903. **  And  there  were  other  pub- 
lications. His  history  of  Cromwell,  Connecticut,  his  studies  in 
the  early  history  of  Nantucket,  and  his  memoir  of  Edward  Griffin 
Porter,  president  of  this  Society,  were  all  marked  by  his  character- 
istic thoroughness.  He  was  a  man  of  great  public  spirit,  and  in- 
terested especially  in  civil  service  reform,  and  in  forestry  and  village 
improvement. 

After  joining  this  Society,  Mr.  Dudley  became  a  very  active 
member,  and  was  appointed  on  the  committee  on  the  library.  One 
of  his  earliest  duties  was  the  preparation  of  a  memoir  of  ita  presi- 
dent for  the  Register,  which  was  afterwards  published  separately. 
The  article  on  the  "Churches  and  Pastors  of  Nantucket,  Mass., 
from  the  First  Settlement  to  the  Present  Time,"  in  the  Eegister, 
January,  1902,  was  enlarged  and  published  separately,  as  was  also 
his  article  entitled  "  Historical  Sketch  of  Newington,  New  Hamp- 
shire,''July,  1904. 

Rev.  James  Davie  Butler,  D.D.,  LL.D.,  of  Madison,  Wis- 
consin, a  corresponding  member  of  this  Society  since  1847,  died 
November  20,  1905,  at  the  age  of  ninety-one. 

He  was  bom  March  15,  1815,  in  Rutland,  Vermont.  In  his 
letter  of  acceptance,  dated  from  Norwich  University,  March  20, 
1847,  and  still  preserved,  he  mentions  a  manuscript  volume  giving 
a  history  of  his  family,  and  the  fact  that  he  was  a  member  of  the 
New  York  Historical  Society ;  and  that  he  presented  to  the  New 
England  Historic  Genealogical  Society  the  first  pamphlet  published 
by  the  Vermont  Historical  Society.  His  family,  he  said,  originated 
in  Massachusetts. 

From  a  notice  published  in  1888,  the  following  facts  are  gleaned. 

His  father  settled  in  Rutland,  Vermont,  in  1787,  but  was  born 
in  Boston,  where  his  lineage  is  traced  from  1637. 

Mr.  Butler  was  graduated  at  Middlebury  College  in  1836,  with 
high  honor.  After  a  year  in  Yale  theological  seminary,  he  returned 
to  Middlebury  and  served  five  years  as  a  tutor.  He  finished  his 
course  in  Andover  theological  seminary,  and  was  immediately  elected 
Abbot  resident.  During  the  second  year  of  his  residence  he  ac- 
cei)ted  an  invitation  from  Prof.  Edwards  A.  Park  to  accompany 
him  to  P^urope.  Their  passage  (in  1842)  lasted  forty-seven  days. 
After  a  stormy  return  passage  he  reached  America  near  the  close 
of  1843.  He  was  advised  to  prepare  European  lectures,  and  did 
60,  and  one  or  another  of  these  descriptions  he  was  invited  to  de- 
liver more  than  three  hundred  times  in,  or  near.  New  England. 
After  supplying  the  Congregational  church  in  Burlington,  Vermont,

for  half  a  year,  he  became  a  professor  in  Norwich  (Military)  Uni- 
versity, now  the  Military  College  of  Vermont,  of  which,  at  one 
time,  he  was  acting  president.  He  resigned  his  position  there  in 
1847.  He  was  pastor  of  churches  in  Wells  River,  Vt.,  South 
Danvers  (now  Peabody),  Mass.,  and  in  Cincinnati,  O.,  followed 
by  professorships  of  Greek  in  Wabash  College,  Crawfordville,  In- 
diana, and  in  the  State  University  of  Wisconsin,  at  Madison. 

In  1867  he  again  went  abroad,  extending  his  travels  to  the 
Orient,  and  to  other  European  countries  which  he  had  not  before 
visited. 

In  1869,  he  penetrated  into  the  Yosemite,  and  crossed  to  the 
Sandwich  Islands  in  a  sailing  bark,  and  reached  the  volcano  Kilauea. 

He  visited  Europe  a  third  and  fourth  time,  in  1878  and  1884. 
He  passed  down  into  Colorado,  Mexico,  and  Cuba.  In  1883,  he 
entered  Portland,  Oregon,  by  the  first  train  on  the  Northern  Pa- 
cific, and  then  went  on  through  the  Puget  Sound  to  British  Colum- 
bia. In  1890,  then  in  his  seventy-sixth  year,  he  undertook  a  tour 
around  the  globe.  It  was  accomplished  in  seventeen  months,  and 
he  went  alone. 

He  was  elected  to  the  American  Antiquarian  Society  in  Worces- 
ter at  a  date  that  ranks  his  name  as  one  of  the  earliest  members  on 
its  roll. 

His  writings  were  widely  circulated.  One  of  the  most  notable, 
from  the  literary  standpoint,  was  his  paper  on  words  used  once  for 
all  in  Shakespeare.  His  lecture  on  "  Commonplace  Books "  was 
called  for  more  than  a  hundred  times. 

He  was  married,  in  1847,  to  Anna,  daughter  of  Joshua  Bates, 
President  of  Middlebury  College,  by  whom  he  had  four  children. 

George  Allen  Dary  died  at  his  home  in  Roxbury,  Massa- 
chusetts, on  December  30,  1905.  He  was  bom  in  Taunton,  Massa- 
chusetts, November  30,  1842.  His  father  was  George  Leonard 
Dary,  the  son  of  Allen  Dary,  a  farmer  of  Rehoboth,  and  a  soldier 
of  the  war  of  1812.  Allen's  father  was  John  Dary,  a  private  in 
the  Revolutionary  War,  and  John  was  the  son  of  Lewis  Dary,  the 
first  of  the  family  name  in  this  country. 

George  Allen  Dary  took  great  interest  in  genealogical  study,  and 
published  the  Dary  Genealogy  in  1903.  He  was  a  member  of  the 
oociety  of  Majrflower  Descendants,  the  Sons  of  Colonial  Wars,  and 
Sons  of  the  Revolution.  His  father  dying  when  the  son  was  only 
six  years  old,  and  the  mother  when  the  son  was  only  thirteen,  he 
was  placed  under  the  care  of  a  guardian  in  Taunton  until  the  year 
1855,  when,  coming  to  Boston,  he  entered  the  law  office  of  Samuel 
E.  Sewall,  and  was  admitted  to  the  Suffolk  Bar  in  1872.  He  was 
later  a  partner  in  the  firm  of  Sewall  and  Angell,  and  then  of  Sew-

all  and  Dary.  He  held  many  trusts,  which  he  administered  with 
most  scrupulous  care.  He  was  regarded  as  a  most  expert  and  re- 
liable conveyancer.  He  was  a  founder  and  a  member  of  the  Ab- 
stract Club,  the  Massachusetts  Title  Insurance  Company,  and  the 
Conveyancers  Title  Insurance  Company.  In  1901  he  was  chosen 
Government  expert  to  report  all  the  titles  for  the  Nahant  fortifica- 
tions. He  examined  the  title  of  the  various  purchases  of  Presi- 
dent Cleveland  at  Gray  Gables. 

Amon^  other  things  he  was  extremely  fond  of  music.  For  many 
years  he  was  on  the  music  committee  of  the  First  Religious  Society 
of  Roxbury.  He  attended  the  Symphony  Orchestra  concerts  from 
the  first,  and  was  a  contributing  member  of  the  Philharmonic  So- 
ciety and  the  Orpheus  Miisical  Association. 

His  greatest  rest  and  pleasure  was  in  out^f-door  life.  He  was 
fond  of  the  deep  woods  and  of  fishing  with  the  fiy.  Fifteen  years 
in  succession  he  passed  his  summer  vacations  camping  in  the  woods 
of  Maine  and  New  Brunswick. 

He  shunned  prominence  as  much  as  others  seek  it.  He  had  no 
desire  to  be  known  by  many,  but  valued  highly  the  friendship  and 
loyalty  of  a  few.  He  was  absolutely  honest,  and  never  had  any 
money  which  he  did  not  earn  by  hard  work.  He  was  a  most  in- 
dustrious man ;  worked  hard  and  fast  at  his  desk,  and  frequently 
until  late  in  the  evening ;  was  worried  if  every  account  was  not  paid 
and  up  to  date,  and  every  probate  account  allowed.  At  his  death, 
— unforeseen  by  him, —  he  left  all  his  papers,  accounts,  and  affairs, 
in  as  perfect  condition  as  if  he  had  known  the  hour  of  it  months  in 
advance. 

He  was  a  resident  member  of  the  Society,  elected  in  1899.

[The  following  sketch  of  Hon.  Ira  Davenport,  arranged  for  by  the  late  Rev.  Dr. 
Adams,  was  not  found  until  after  the  sketch  on  page  liii  was  printed.] 

Ira  Davenport.  His  grandfather,  Noah  Davenport,  waa  a  sol- 
dier in  the  Revolutionary  War,  and  his  maternal  grandfather,  Du- 
gald  Cameron,  was  a  prominent  citizen  of  Steuben  County,  New 
York,  in  its  early  development,  having  come  fh)m  Scotland  in  the 
latter  part  of  the  18th  century.  Ira  Davenport,  the  father  of  the 
subject  of  this  sketch,  when  a  young  man,  removed  from  Columbia 
County,  New  York,  to  Steuben  County,  where  he  established  his 
home  and  married  Lydia,  the  daughter  of  the  above-mentioned 
Dugald  Cameron.  The  late  Ira  Davenport  was  the  youngest  child 
of  this  marriage. 

His  father's  death,  in  1868,  threw  upon  him  the  responsibility 
of  the  management  of  important  interests  in  various  States,  but  he

found  time  to  devote  himself  to  all  measures  which  he  believed 
would  make  for  the  material  and  intellectual  welfare  of  the  people 
of  his  county.  He  was  largely  instrumental  in  securing  for  the 
town  of  Bath  the  New  York  State  Soldiers'  and  Sailors'  Home. 
He  endowed  liberally  the  Davenport  Home  for  Female  Orphan 
Children  at  Bath,  an  institution  founded  by  his  father,  and  he  left  to 
the  village  of  Bath  the  library  which  bears  his  name,  with  a  fund  to 
properly  maintain  it.  In  politics  he  was  a  member  of  the  Republi- 
can party. 

In  1877  he  entered  public  life.  In  that  year  he  was  elected  to 
the  State  Senate,  and  in  1879  was  re-elected  to  the  same  office. 
During  the  four  years  he  served  as  a  Senator  in  the  New  York 
Legislature  he  made  such  an  impression  upon  his  party  and  the 
people  of  the  State  that  in  1881  he  was  nominated  and  elected 
comptroller,  in  which  office  he  demonstrated  his  sterling  business 
methods  and  sagacity.  In  1884  he  was  elected  a  representative  in 
Congress,  and  the  following  year  his  party  honored  him  by  naming 
him  as  its  candidate  for  Governor  of  the  State  ;  but  the  Democratic 
party  carried  the  election  and  he  was  defeated.  In  1886  he  was 
re-elected  to  Congress,  and  at  the  end  of  his  second  term  he  retired 
to  private  life.  In  1887  he  married  Katharine,  only  daughter  of 
General  George  H.  Sharpe  of  Kingston,  New-York. 

Mr.  Davenport  was  a  wide  reader,  a  man  fond  of  and  versed  in 
the  humanities,  of  a  nature  broadly  tolerant,  keen  of  insight  and 
humor,  a  lover  and  judge  of  painting.  Public  honors  were  never 
sought  by  him ;  they  came  to  him  unsolicited,  and  evidenced  the 
esteem  in  which  he  was  held  by  his  county,  his  district,  and  his 
State.
