Howe,  was  born  in  IJrookliehl  i<S  , January,   1S07. 

Samuel  flolmson,  fir.,  was  the  oldest  sou  in  a  family  of  seven 
children,  and  a  twin-brother  of  Charlotte,  ^vho  married  the  late  liev. 
Jaines  Howard  Means,  D.I).,  the  esteemed  sueeessor  of  the  Jvev. 
Dr.  (V)dmau  of  Dorehest(.!r.  The  home  which  our  Irieiid  knew  un- 
til he  was  eight  years  old,  was  in  JNlilton  l*lace,  olF  Federal  street, 
then  a  fine  resilience  section.  Afterward  the  tamily  lived  on  Frank- 
lin Place  until  1850,  when  the  growth  of  business  invaded  that 
beautiful  precinct.  ■    ■.    • 

"  Sam,"  as  he  was  comiiu)iily  called  by  his  friends,  was  sent  to  a 
boarding-school  at  Saiulwich,  kept  by  Captain  Joseph  \\'^ing,  while 
the  twin-sister  was  placed  at  a  girls'  school  in  the  same  town,  llis 
studies  were  continued  at  Chauucy-1  lall  School  in  Boston  until  the 
age  ol  sixlcrn,  when  his  lather  sur[)rised  him  one  evening  by  telling 
him  he  must  be  ready  to  go  into  a  store  the  next  day.      So  the  boy

took  leave  of  \\\s  teacher,  Mr.  Tliayer,  and  entered  upon  the  new 
eareor  which  naturally  a[)[)ealed  to  his  youthful  ambition.  lie  had 
to  hc^in  at  the  hottt)ni  of  the  ladder,  and  g-o  to  the  store  of  Ilovey, 
AVillianw  c^  Co.,  an  ini[)orting  and  jobbing-  house,  then  on  Water 
street,  as  early  as  six  o'clock  in  the  morning,  to  attend  to  the  sweep- 
ing and  dusting  and  making  the  fires,  and  then  return  home  for  his 
breakfast.  lie  never  regretted  the  drill  which  this  experience  gave 
him  at  the  start,  for  it  developed  those  qualities  of  order,  industry 
and  alertness  which  are  so  essential  in  a  mercantile  life. 

In  184G  the  firm  moved  to  \Vinter  street  and  formed  a  connec- 
tion with  John  Chandler  and  liichard  C.  (Ireenleaf,  wiio  had  been 
in  the  retail  trade.  A  little  later  Washington  AV^illiams  withdrew 
and  Chandler  took  tiie  old  Central  Church  building,  and  the  new 
firm  assumed  the  name  of  C.  F.  Ilovey  &  Co.,  which  it  bears  to 
this  day.  ]\Ir.  Johnson  became  a  partner  about  the  same  time, 
1850,  with  Mr.  Henry  Woods  and  jNIr.  WiUiam  Kndicott,  Jr.,  both 
of  whom  survive  him  in  this  long  and  honorable  connection.  Mr. 
IIo\'ey,  a  native  oi'  Hrookficld,  died  in  1<S5!(  at  the  age  of  fifty-two, 
ami  Mr.  (irecidcat'  died  in  1887.  'I'he  iirm  moved  to  its  present 
location  in  Sunnner  street  in  185-1. 

For  several  years  Mr.  Johnson  attended  to  the  foreign  de[)art- 
ment  of  the  business,  and  made  many  trips  to  iMighind,  I'aris, 
Lyons,  Swit/.crhmd  and  (ii'rinany,  act|iiiriug  a  large  perst)nal  ac- 
(inaiiitancc  with  men  ami  methods,  which  [)roved  to  l)e  a  practical 
advantage  to  the  house.  He  was  accustomed  to  give  his  close  at- 
tention to  the  matter  of  purchasing,  and  when  he  had  reached  a  de- 
cision he  would  abide  by  it  without  wavering.  This  saved  him  a 
good  deal  of  worry.  He  often  said  tliat  a  business  man  could  not 
afford  to  hesitate  after  once  making  up  his  mind.  While  in  Kurope 
he  was  scrupulous  in  the  use  of  his  time,  rarely  visiting  places  of 
entertainment  or  indulging  in  late  hours,  as  many  of  his  companions 
were  in  the  habit  of  doing.  As  a  result  he  was  always  fresh  and 
ready  i'or  his  work. 

Our  friend  was  naturally  of  a  quiet  and  amiable  disposition  and

inclined  to  nuikc  the  best  of  cve^ytlliM[,^  In  lianl  times,  when  most 
men  were  depressed,  lie  w;is  calm  and  even  cheerful  ;  and  this  was 
not  owing  to  indilference  but  to  a  well-halanced  mind,  to  an  un- 
usually even  and  philosophic  tem[)er,  wliich  itself  was  worth  a  for- 
tune to  him.  'Vo  this  was  added  his  strong,  confiding  Christian 
faith,  which  steadily  grew  with  his  years  and  seemed  never  to  for- 
sake him.  The  n^in  who  can  carry  such  sunlight  and  equipoise 
with  him  into  all  the  relations  of  life  is  a  tower  of  strength  to  his 
family,  his  partners,  his  friends.  As  we  look  upon  the  familiar  f.ice 
which  :u;compauics  this  sketch,  we  see  the  leatures  which  reveal  the 
character — -dignity,  strength,  refinement,  kindness,  patience,  humor, 
all  arc  there.  Nothing  is  concealed.  The  soul  shines  through,  and 
we  are  drawn  to  it  instinctively  I'or  fellowship  and  support.  Would 
that  this  type  of  manhood  might  iind  more  frequent  illustrations 
among  us. 

AVe  are  not  surprised  to  find  that  the  services  of  such  a  man  were 
in  great  demand  outside  of  his  regular  business  ;  and  hap[)ily  ^Ir. 
Johnson  \vas  in  such  a  })osltion  that  he  could  give  valuable  counsel 
and  assistance  to  a  great  many  people.  As  a  trustee  of  several  of 
our  largest  estates,  as  well  as  of  many  smaller  ones  from  which  he 
often  received  no  remuneration,  he  found  a  most  useful  and  benefi- 
cent field  for  the  exercise  of  his  sound  judgment  and  his  unswerving 
integrity.  He  was  also  connected  with  many  institutions  of  a  finan- 
cial, charitable  and  educational  character,  such  as  tlie  Provident  In- 
stitution for  Savings,  the  Massachusetts  llosjiital  Life  Insurance 
Conq)any,  the  Webster  National  Bank,  the  Y.  M.  C.  A.,  the  In- 
stitute of  Technology,  Wheaton  Seminary,  the  Uible  Socii-ty,  the 
Boston  Dispensary  and  the  Home  for  Aged  AVomen.  He  was  presi- 
dent of  the  American  Congregational  Association  ;  and  the  last  pub- 
lic service  of  his  life  was  in  presiding  at  the  dedication  of  the  new 
Congregational  Building  on  Beacon  street.  He  was  one  of  the 
founders  of  the  ('ongregatioiial  ('lub,  a  member  of  tin;  Bostoiiian 
Society  and  an  active  participant  in  the  meetings  (jf  the  Colonial 
Society  of  Massachusetts.

lint  it  was  ill  lu8  cuunection  with  the  Old  South  Church  that  Mr. 
Johnson  iouiul  his  most  iiuportunt  and  congenial  work.  For  many 
years  he  was  regarded  as  its  foremost  representative.  During  the 
trying  period  ol'tiie  change  of  location,  he  was  the  guiding  spirit  of 
the  majority;  and  although  he  encountered  much  criticism  from 
certain  .juarters,  his  motives  were  never  questioned,  ;iiid  he  had  the 
Hatisfaction  of  seeing  the  ancient  cluirch,  for  which  he  struggled, 
strongly  established  in  its  new  home  and  doing  its  8i)iritual  and 
philantliropic  work  on  a  larger  scale  than  ever. 

As  a  contributor  to  various  charitable  objects  Mr.  Johnson  was 
widely  known.  The  missionary  societies  found  in  him  an  intelli- 
gent and  <'enerous  giver.  The  presidents  of  western  colleges  rarely 
came  to  Inibton  without  calling  upon  him,  and  it  is  but  fair  tu  say 
that  they  seldom  went  away  empty-handed,  lie  received  them 
kindly,  even  when  absorbed  in  other  engagements.  Hospitality 
was  a  characteristic  trait  of  his  life.  He  was  one  of  the  tirst  to  re- 
side on  (!ommonwealth  avenue,  and  his  home  at  No.  7  was  always 
(U.ar  to  him— so  much  so  indeed  that  he  never  could  be  persuaded 
io  belong  to  many  clubs,  and  he  sehU.m  went  out  evenings.  His 
honorary  degree  of  Master  of  Arts  was  conferred  by  Williams  Col- 
lege in  181)7,  a  just  recognition  of  his  eminent  public  service. 

For  tweiity-livt!  summers  in  sueces.sion  our  associati;  bv('d  at 
Nah.inl,  where  he  Iouiul  lucded  rest  on  land  and  water,  and  where 
at  last,  on  the  thirieenlh  of  August,  l.Si);),he  peacefully  surrendered 
the  burden  of  this  mortal  hfe  at  the  ripe  age  of  seventy-three. 

Mr.  dohnson  was  married  2yth  March,  1851),  to  Mary,  daughter 
of  Deacon  (Jharh^s  and  iMary  Abigail  (Noble)  Stoddard  of  lioston. 
Mrs.  Johnson  died  3  February,  18U1.  A  memorial  tribute  to  her, 
entitled  "A  Silver  Cord  Loosed,"  is  in  the  Society's  library,  as 
well  as  a  printed  sermon  by  Dr.  Gordon  in  memory  of  Mr.  d(din- 
8on's  mother,  who  died  Aprd  3,  1888  ;  and  another  sermon,  just 
received,  delineating  the  characteristic  traits  of  our  deceased  friend. 
Mr.  Johnson  left  two  sons,  Wolcott  Howe  Johnson  and  Arthur 
Stoddard  Johnson,  who  with  their  I'amilies  reside  in  this  city.

TlIK  NEW  IIAVKN  (CONN.)   TOTTEliS,   1039. 

By  James  Shepaed,  of  New  Britiuu,  Coim. 

1.     Hannah  [Potter]  Bekciier  was  the  mother  of  the  New  Haven 

Potters,  who  ;ipi)e:ire.l  ivirly  in  New  Haven  as  a  widow  with  sons:  i.  John, 
ii.  Williaui  au.l  iii.  Isaac  "rxvrher,  the  ancestor  of  K.-v.  Henry  \\  ard 
IWvcli.r.  Ibr  iirst  husband,  Potter,  died  in  I'aigland,  where  she  niarn<;d 
a  M  r.   liecciier. 

It  i>  -vuerallv  supposed  that  her  husband  was  John  Ucccher,  one  ot  tlie 
seven  whom  Eaton  sent  to  New  Haven  in  advance  of  the  colony  and  who 
died  before  the  colony  arrived.  Slie  has  l)een  considered  to  be  the  mother 
of  Isaa<'  r.eecher,  for  she  calls  him  her  son  in  her  will  and  gavt;  him  one- 
third  of  her  proper!  v;  but  recent  investigations,  it  is  claimed,  show  con-

•with  the  widow  Hannah  JJcecher,  but  the  rccortls  clearly  show  that  they 
were  two  different  persons. 

The  will  oL'  Hannah  Bcecher  was  proved  April  o,  l(»r>i),  and  is  rc-corded 
in  first  pai't,  vol.  i.,  p.  80,  of  New  Haven  Probate  Keeoi'ds,  as  follows: 

"I  ilannali  lleecher  of  New  ILiveii,  ex|iee.lin^-  my  i^reat  change  do  make 
this  my  last  will  and  ti'staineiil,  1  be(juea(Ii  my  soul  niito  the  Jiaiids  of  my

thirds  to  my  eldest  sou  "William  Potter,  making  him  ray  Executor,  desiring

Her  children  were:  John  Potter,  died  1G13.  William  Potter,  born 
about  lt;u8;  died  ItiG'i. 

2.  John-  Pottkr  (^ITannah^  Jieecher,)  was  a  freeman  in  New  Haven 
in  1639,  not  admitted  when  the  planters'  covenant  was  first  signed  but 
expressed  his  consent  to  it  and  soon  after  subscribed  to  the  agreement  made 
in  general  town  meeting,  IG.'il),  "  thatt  church  memb(!rs  onefy  shall  be  free 
burgi'sses  and  they  onely  shall  ehuse  among  themselves  magistrates  and 
otlicers." 

Jn  1G43  lie  had  four  pei-sons  in  the  family,  estate  valued  at  twenty-five 
pounds,  and  had  twenty-eight  and  three-quarter's  acres  of  land.  Tuttle 
sa\s  that  he  died  in  IGl.'i.  The  name  of  John  Pt>tter's  widow  was  Eliza- 
beth. In  June,  IGlG,  une  Mrs.  Brewster  was  before  the  court  for  slan  ler- 
ing  many  persons  one  of  whom  was  ^\'illianl  Preston.  She  also  slandered 
wi(U)W  Potter  (of  John),  and  Edward  Parker.  Eor  some  reason,  not 
slated,  the  ehh'i's,  iV.c.,  <lid  not  approve  of  ICdward  Parker  and  recpiested 
Mi's.  I'oKer  not  to  rec(-i\c  his  attentions.  The  result  was  lliat  iNIrs.  Potter 
was  excommunicated  an<l  31  rs.  15re\vster  said  that  "  Mrs.  Potter  woidd  not 
join  the  church  because  she  would  not  give  up  Edward  Parker."  i^he 
mairied  Ivlward  Parker  about  this  lime,  for  in  Jul\-,  IGlG,  "  Edwaid  i'ar- 
ker  and  his  wife  jirestwited  their  desii-es  to  the  Court  to  invest  John  Poller's 
two  sons  in  the  right  of  their  father's  land  and  b(.)use  and  declared  them-

p!ir(irii];ir  wrih'iii^  in  the  liand  of  tlie  secrettarie,  made  and  signed  by  both 
of  tlu'in  licforc  the  ;j;ovprn(>r,  deputy  governor  and  magistrates." 

In  I  lie  sanu;  year  "  It  was  ordered  with  tlie  ronsent  of  Edward  Parker 
and  Ills  wife,  tliat  ,In°.  Potter  shoulil  be  jiut  an  a[)j)rentice  for  H  years  from 
the  lirst  of  Aug.  last  unto  Roger  Allen  f'u-  to  learne  his  trade." 

In  XoNfinher,  1G4!),  Edward  J^arker  apjieareil  in  Court  and  "desired 
that  he  migiit  be  freed  from  liis  engagement  concerning  the  house  and  lott 
wliicli  was  John  Potter's  and  is  seenritie  for  the  children's  portions,  for  he 
is  willing  to  h^ave  it  to  the  court  to  disi>ose  of  otherwise." 

In  1  (ioU  William  Potter  was  called  before  tlie  court  to  account  for  a 
lieifer  lie  had  of  his  kinswoman  Hannah  Potter.  I  le  said  he  would  give 
twenty  shillings  a  yeai'  for  iier  unlil  his  kinswoman  was  of  age  to  receive 
her. 

After  Edward  I'arker's  death  in  KU'i'i,  his  widow,  Elizabeth,  niarried 
Robert  Pose  of  Pranford,  who  died  in  l('>(')r>.  Ivose  and  his  lii'st  wife  were 
ancestors  of  the  writer,  and  by  this  marriage  he  can  say  that  he  descended 
from  both  wi\'es  of  Kohei't  Kose. 

\Vi(low  IJose  was  probalily  a  business  womaTi,  for  her  son  John  Potter, 
in  his  will,  170(1,  gi\-es  to  his  son  Samuel  "ye  still  that  was  my  nmllu;r's." 
He  also  gives  to  I  he  same  son  lh(!  liei|,s|c;i<l  and  little  chair  "  ihat  was  his 
grandmother's,"  (widow  Hannah  Heecher's).  Widow  Eli/.al)elh  Rose  made 
her  will  duly  2.'3,  1G77,  and  died  before  signing  it.  The  children  agreed  to 
abide  by  the  will  and  later  the  court  admitted  the  will  to  prohate.  Nothing 
is  known  against  widow  Elizabeth  Rose,  alias  Parker,  alias  Potter,  excef)t 
her  romantic  attachment  for  Edward  Rarker,  and  nothing  is  known  against 
Parker  exci'pt  that  the  elders  for  some  unknown  reason  did  not  a]»prove  of 
him.  The  fact  that  her  heirs  agreed  to  stand  by  a  void  will  is  conclusive 
])roof  that  she  was  a  woman  of  merit  and  had  the  respect  of  her  children, 
who  were  willing,  (n'cn  in  property  affaii's,  to  abide  by  her  wishes.  She 
died  duly  2S,  1(')77.  Her  will,  recorded  in  vol.  i.,  part  first,  p.  17G,  New 
Haven   Rroliate  Records,  is  as  follows: 

"The  last  will  of  hvlizabeth  Pose  widdow  N.  Haven  deceased.

My  Intention  was  i^ood — but  1  could  not  act  uj)  to  it,  as  tlie  accounts

1  am  apiirehcaisivc  the  sum  of  them  rises  higher  than  your  (.ixjieelalion  : 
I  own  it  is  higher,  by  much,  than  /supposed  it  wuuhl  have  been.  Grdltioii's

'  Bouclier  to   Washiiujlon. 

Tirio  Lodge,  G  August,  1775. 
Dear  Sir, 

f  tlmiii^flit  it  far  fnnu  the  least  pleasiug  circumstance  attending  my  re- 
ni(i\al  hiiliii-  iliiit  ii  jdaced  mo  in  your  iuiuiediate  neighbourhood.  For 
ha\iiii;  iniw  \n\:\\  iiai)|iv  in  \o\\v  acquaintance  Several  years,  1  coukl  not 
]ul|i  ciPiiMdciiii;:  niy.sell',  iu)r  indeed  help  hoping  that  I  was  considered  hy 
3  (Ml,  a^  an  ulii  liiiaid  ;  and  of  course  I  counted  on  our  living  together  in  tlu^ 
]ili:i>ing  inurcourse  of  giving  and  receiving  the  mutual  good  ollices  of 
nei'jhliiini  hiiod  and  fricmdship. 

riiai  thiu'^s  ha\e  turned  out  much  otherwise  I  need  not  inform  you. 
iMoiiilied  and  gi-ieved  as  1  confess  mystdf  to  he  at  this  disappointment,  I 
am  \'\  11(1  means  prejiared  to  say  that  you  are  wholly  to  be  blamed  for  it; 
nor,  a.->  I  wdnld  fain  iiope  yt)U  in  your  turn  will  own,  is  it  entirely  owing  to 
any  i:iidi  of  mini'.  I  can  easily  .suppose  at  least  that  we  neither  of  us  think 
our-i  1\  es  to  i)lame  ;  and  yet  1  cannot  help  tliiiddng  that  had  I  been  in 
)onr  plaee  I  sliould,  in  this  as  well  as  in  other  things,  have  taken  a  dilfer- 
i-nt  pait  fri)ni  that  wiiieh  \(iu  iia\e  chosen.  I'ermit  nu»,  sir,  us  one  who 
was  once  y(»ur  friend,  and  at  any  rate  as  oik;  iiot  likely  to  be  soon  trouble- 
sonu'  (o  you  again  in  the  same  wa\ ,  once  more  as  a-  friend  freidy  to  e.xpos- 
tulate  \\ith  }ou.  If  I  am  siill  in  the  wrong,  I  am  about  to  sulfer  such  pun- 
ishment as  might  satisfy  the  malice  of  even  the  most  vindictive  enemy;  and 
if  30U  are  wrong,  as  in  some  degi-ee,  I  think  you  are,  it  is  my  duty  frankly 
to  tell  you  so,  and  yours  to  listen  to  me  with  patience. 

( )n  the  great  points  so  long  and  so  fruitlessly  del»ated  between  us  it  is 
not  my  design  now  again  to  solicit  youi'  attention.  A\'e  have  now  each  of 
us  taken  and  a\()wed  our  side,  and  with  such  ardour  as  becomes  men  who 
feel  themsel\es  to  be  in  earnest  in  their  convictions.  That  we  should  both 
be  in  lh(!  light  is  impossible,  but  that  we  both  think  we  are  we  must  in 
common  candour  allow.  And  this  extreme  diiference  of  0|)inion  between 
ourselves,  when  w  i;  liasc  no  yroniufs  for  char^iuL;'  t,'ac]i  other  wiih  being 
iiiilueiiced  by  any  siiiisti;r  or  unworliiy  motivt'S,  should  tc;ach  us  no  less 
candour  in  judging  of  and  di-aling  by  others  in  a  similar  predicament. 
There  cannot  be  anything  named  of  which  T  am  more  strongly  convinced 
than  1  am  ihal  all  those  who  with  von  are  ]iroinoiiiig  the  ju'eseiit  apparently 
[lopular  measures  ai\;  the  line  eiieinies  of  llieir  country.  This  ])i'rsuasioii, 
however,  will  by  no  means  jiistifv  me,  should  i  be  so  weak  and  wicked  as 
to  molest  them  v\  hiK'  th<'V  do  not  molest  me.  1  do  not  say  this  because  I 
liappcn  to  lie  ill  what  is  caUed  tiie  miiicuity,  and  therel'ore  without  any 
power  of  acting  otherwise;  ii  is  the  decision  of  truth  and  justice,  and  can- 
not lie  violated  wilhont  doiii^  vi(ilence  to  i^\vy\  syst(aii  of  ethics  }'et  re- 
ceived ill  any  civili/cd  couiilr^.  The  true  plan  in  such  cas(;s  is  for  each 
party  to  (h-feiid  his  own  side  as  well  as  he  can  by  fair  argument,  and  also, 
if  possible,  to  coiivini't^  his  adversary  :  but  everything  that  savours  of,  or 
but  a|)proaches  to,  coercitui  or  comj)u]sioii  is  persecution   and   tyranny. 

It  is  on  tlii.s  ground  that  1  complain  of  you  and  those  with  wlioni  you  side. 
TIow  large  a  proportion  of  the  people  in  gtaieral  think  with  you  or  think 
witli  nu;  it  is  in  none  of  our  powers  t(j  ascertain.  J  believe,  because  I 
think  I  can  juove  it,  that  your  jiarty,  to  siave  an  obvious  party  purpose, 
exccedinglv  magnify  tin;  numbers  of  those  whom  tlicy  supjiose  to  take  part 
with  }<Mi,  and  you  tax  us  with  doing  llu'  same.  lint  lliere  is  this  great, 
manifest,  and   undispute<l  dllfi'rence   between   us.      iS'o   Tory   has   yet  in   a

8iiii;l(!  instance  misused  or  injurcid  a  AV^liig  merely  for  being  u  Wlii'f.  And 
wliatcN  t;r  may  be  tlio  boasted  superiority  of  your  party,  it  will  not  be  de- 
nied that  in  .some  instances  at  least  this  has  been  in  our  power.  With 
rcspcci  to  '\\'hii:s,  however,  the  case  has  l)eon  directly  tli(j  reverH(j ;  a  Tory 
at  all  in  the  power  of  a  AVhig  never  escapes  ill  treatment  merely  because 
of  his  buin^  a  'I'ury.  How  contrary  all  this  is  to  all  that  liberty  which 
"Whigs  are  for  ever  so  forward  to  pi'ofess  need  not  be  insisted  on  ;  it  is  so 
contrary  to  all  justice  and  honom-,  that  were  there  no  other  reasons  to  deter- 
mine me  against  it,  as  there  are  thousands,  1  \;  ould  not  be  a  Whig,  because 
their  principles,  at  least  as  I  see  them  exemplilied  in  practiee,  lead  so 
directly  to  all  that  is  mean  and  unmanly. 

It  is  a  general  faidt  in  controversial  writers  to  charge  all  the  errors  of  a 
party  on  every  individual  of  that  jjarty.  I  wish  to  avoid  the  disgrace  of 
so  indiscriminate  a  judgment ;  and  therefore  have  a  ])leasure  in  acknowledg- 
ing that  I  know  many  A\'liigs  who  are  not  tyrants.  In  this  numbei-  it  "is 
but  doing  you  coinnion  justice  to  [)hicc,  3011.  1  Avish  I  coidd  go  on,  and 
with  e(pial  Irulli  (Uclare  tiial,  whilst  you  lorbcar  youiv^ilf  lo  iici-scciac  }()iir 
fellow  subjects  on  the  scoie  of  th(  ir  jxdilical  ci'eeds.  \ou  had  been  as  eare- 
ful  to  discourage  such  persecution  in  others.  .Scorning  lo  Hatter,  as  much 
as  1  scorn  to  lax  you  wrongfully,  I  am  bold  thus  openly  to  tell  you  I  think 
you  have  much  to  ansu(;r  for  in  (his  wa^'.  Jtis  not  a  little  that  }(ju  have 
to  auswe'r  for  with  icspecl,  to  niy.self. 

You  know,  and  have  acknowhulged,  the  sincerity  and  the  purity  of  my 
piinciples  ;  and  have  bt;en  so  candid  as  to  lament  that  30U  <;ould  not  lliink 
on  the  great  points  that  now  agitate  our  common  country  as  I  do.  JS'ow, 
sir,  it  is  impossible  I  should  sometimes  avow  one  kind  of  j)rinci])les  and 
sometimes  another.  I  have  at  least  the  merit  of  consistency  ;  and  neither 
in  any  pi'ivate  or  public  conversulioii,  in  anything  1  have  written,  nor  in 
anylhing  1  have  ddiver.-d  from  the  pidpit,  lia\e  I  ever  asserted  an\-  other 
opinions  or  doctrines  than  \ou  ha\e  icpealedl)  lieni'd  me  assert  bolli  in  my

vililied,  and  injured  in  the  manner  whi.'h  you  know  has  fallen  to  m\  lot, 
merely  because  1  cannot  bring  myself  lo  think  on  some  political  jioinis  just 
as  you  and  your  party  would  have  nu;  thiidc.  And  yet  you  have  Imhuc  to 
look  on,  at  least  as  an  unconcuiau'd  spectator,  if  not  an  abettor,  whilst,  like 
the  poor  fro^^s  in  the  fable,  I  ha\e  in  a  manner  Iicimi  pelted  to  death.  I  do 
not  ask  if  such  c(mdnet  in  )ou  was  friendly:  was  it  either  just,  manly,  or 
generous?  It  was  not:  no,  it  was  acting  with  all  the  base  malignity  of  a 
virulent  Whig.  As  such,  sir,  1  resent  it:  and  ojtpressed  and  overborne  as 
I  may  seem  to  be  by  popular  obloquy,  I  will  not  be  so  Avanting  in  justice 
to  myself  as  not  to  tcdl  you,  as  I  now^  do  with  honest  boldness,  that  J  de- 
sjiise  the  man  who,  for  any  motives,  couhl  be  induced  to  act  so  mean  a 
part.  You  are  no  longer  worthy  of  my  friendship:  a  man  of  honour  can 
no  longer  without  dishonour  l)e  eoniUM'ted  w  ii  li  you.  With  your  cause  I

of  it's  executive,  and  tlie  division  of  it's  legislative,  powers,  been  framed 
alter  a  IJritish  moihl.  That,  in  the  discharge  of  your  duty  as  head  of  this

less  dangerous  to  Aimrica  than  to  l\nro]ie,  is  not  more  an  enlogiuin,  on  the 
wisdom  of  our  forefatliers,  than  hononralile  to  your  individual  wisdom  and 
integrity. 

As  a  INIinister  of  Religion  I  am  e(iually  bound  to  tender  you  my  respect 
for  having  (in  your  valedictory  address  to  your  countrymen)  asserted  your 
opinion  (hat  "  the  only  linn  supports  of  [lolitical  prosperity  are  religion 
and  morality  ;"  and  that  "molality  (;an  lie  maintained  only  by  religion." 
Those  best  friends  of  mankind,  wlio,  amidst  all  the;  din  and  U])roar  of  Uto-

lilied  by  your  cmidescending,  as  a  private  Gentleman  in  America,  to  receive 
with  candour  and  kindness  this  disinterested  testimony  of  regard  from  a 
pri\ate  (,'lerg\nian  in  MnglaiKJ.  1  was  once  your  iieighliour  ami  your 
friend:  the  unhappy  dispute,  which  terminated  in  the  disunion  of  oiii-  re- 
speclivi!  countries,  also  broke  oil  our  personal  connexion:  but  I  nevt'r  was 
more  than  your  political  enemy  ;  and  every  sentiment  even  of  ])olilit'al  ani- 
mosity has,  on  my  part,  long  ago  subsided.  ]*ermit  me  then  to  hope,  that 
this  tender  of  renewed  amity  between  us  may  be  received  and  regarded  as 
giving  some  ])romise  of  tiiat  jKu-fect  reconciliation  between  our  two  coun- 
tries wliich  it  is  the  sincer(^  aim  of  this  publication  to  |ii-omote.  if,  on  this 
tojjic,  llna-e  lie  aiuither  wish  still  nearer  lo  my  heart,  it  is  that  you  would 
not  think  it  lieiieath  you  to  co-operate  with  so  humble  an  effort  to  pnjduce

Cluiislow  was  a  town  on  the  river  AVye,  near  its  conHuence  with  the 
Severn,  and  from  this,  his  native  place,  the  Uev.  JNIr.  lUinman  is  thought*  to 
have  come  direct  to  New  England  through  the  influence  of  Mr.  iMlvvard 
"W'inslow,  then  living  at  Green's  Harbour  in  the  riymouth  C(dony.  lo 
A\'inslow  and  others  the  Court  of  Freemen  gave  orders,  .March  o.  KJ.'JD-lU, 
to  set  off  certain  farm  land  and  a  house  lot  for  a  minister;  "  eithei-  for  Na- 
tiianiel  Smyth  or  some  other  as  the  said  inhabitants  of  ( Jreen's  Harbour  shall 
place  in."  Mv.  Smyth,  after  marrying,  dune  21,  1G40,  Anne,  daughter  of 
'I'homas  Bourne,  removed  to  Norwich,  Conn.,  his  wife's  sister  having 
previously  married  Edward  Winslow's  youngest  brother,  dosias.  The 
former,  writing  to  Gov.  Winthrop  from  his  home,  "  Careswell,"  Oct.  10, 
KUO,  says  ''  Mr.  rdindman  salutes  you,"  and  on  dan.  2Hth  following  men- 
tions "the  many  businesses  I  have  had  (and  tiie  more  in  regard  of  iMr.  lllin- 
maii's  friends  that  are  come  to  live  wiih  us  and  the  streightnes  of  place  to 
receive  them)  and  our  preparacons  to  enter  into  covenant,  <^c." 

Green's  Harbour  was  first  called  Kexhorne  by  the  riymouth  government, 
though  its  cor[)orate  name  in  1640  was  i\iarsh field,  dohn  Winthrop,  in  his 
History  of  New  England,  says  "One  JMr.  Blinman,  a  minister  in  Wales,  a 
<fodlv  and  able  man^  canu;  over  -with  some  friends  of  hi.-.,  and  being  invited 
to  (Ireen's  Harbour,  near  I'linioulli,  they  went  thither,  but  ere  the  yere  was 
expired  (liere  fell  oiil  .some  dlflri-mi'e  among  llirm,  \\  hirh  liy  no  means  could 
be  recuneiled,  so  lliey  agreed  lo  pail,  and  he  came  with  his  (-ompany  and  sat

'■  would  praeiie.'  that  conclusion  the(y)  would  not  paie  liis  maintenance." 
A\  lier(  uiiDU  lUiiiiuan  was  aroused,  and,  continues  the  letter,  "he  broke 
then  into  uoides,  that  he  would  leave  the  place,  with  expressions  of  discon- 
tiui,  wiili  fir.v."  A  town  vote  taken  to  decide  \\hether  they  would  have

occa>ion,  drew  forth  a  reply  from  Mr.  IJrewstcr.  Suhsecpiently  it  was  pro- 
posed to  send  four  or  iive  of  the  congregation  "  to  see  if  they  could  re- 
move the  iirevmices  that  lyes  in  iMr.  Ulyndman  brest,  if  he  would  make 
them  knowi'U,  and  the  knowini;-  to  admit  debate";  they  were  ai-  the  same 
time  to  express  a  willin,i;ne>s  on  the  i)art  of  the  town  for  him  to  sta_\ ,  but  the 
minister  "  thancked  the  Towne,  v\:  whereas  he  had  a  call  to  aiinther  place,  & 
the  next  day  was  thither  yoiug,  lie  j)romised  he  would  not  ennajie  himselfe

poore  Towne,  to  helpe  vs  compose  dilferences  "  ;  but  any  attempt  at  recon- 
ciliation was  unsuccessful,  and  tin;  irate  parson  soon  shook  the  dust  of  New 
London  fi'om  his  feel  and  pi-oeeedid  to  New  llaveu. 

Jan.  .')(),  1  (lo7-S,  John  l)a\t;nporl,  of  the  latter  place,  wi'ites  (  b)V.  AVin- 
thmp  at  llarlford  as  foMows:  "'I'lioiinh  this  beini;-  the  last  day  of  the

bouth  times  and  administi-ring  the  Lord('s)  supper,  lyeth  upon  me,  whereby 
I  am  constrained  to  be  as  briefe,  in  tliese  lines,  as  I  may."  After  this 
Elinman  ai)pears  to  have  liad  no  regular  calling,  and  though  the  journal  of 
Thomas  Minor  of  New  London  and  Stonington,  under  date  of  July  27,  1G59, 
says  i\[r.  lilinman  ''taught"  in  the  former  ])lace,  it  is  evident  that  the 
reverend  gentleman  was  already  i)rcparing  to  return  to  England,  to  which 
end  he  raised  some  funds  in  May  by  selling  a  portion  of  his  libraiy  to  \ale 
College-  Savage  states  that  a  k'tter  written  by  him  from  Newfoundland  to 
]\[r.  I)aveni)ort,  on  Aug.  'I'l  following,  mentions  his  arrival  and  hi.-,  ha\ing 
declined  oifers  to  settle  there. 

In  Januar\-,  1H70-1,  he  was  Tning  at  Uristol  "in  the  Ca^le."  and  13  of

("alamy's  Nonconfoi'mists'  iALmual  (2d  iMlit.,  London,  1777)  observes  : 
"  \\r  mav  hei-e,  also  menlion  som(;  that  li\(<l  in  lirislol,  tho'  they  had  been

of  Chepstow,  but  whether  ejeeled  or  not  is  imc<Tlain." 

Mather,  in  his  llistoiy  of  New  laigland,  has  this  account  of  him  :  "  After 
a  faithful  dischaig«;  of  his  ndidslry  at  (ilocester  and  at  New  London,  he  re- 
turned into  Lngland,  and  li\ing  to  a  good  old  agt;,  he  who,  whei'eM'i'  ho 
came,  did  set  himself  to  do  good,  concluded  his  life  at  the  city  of  lirislol, 
where  one  of  the  last  things  he  did  was  to  defend  in  ])rint  the  ecaise  of

FOLK,   ENGLAND. 

Cumnuuiicatcd  by  a  Descendant  of  Capt.  John  Shekmax. 

Of  these  "Wills  the  leadiiii^  one  is  that  uf  'riionuis  SlieriiKiii  of  Yaxley, 
dated  daiuiary  20,  1550,  and  proved  in  1551. 

lie  had  money  and  j)late  and  a  large  landed  i)ro[>ei-tv,  iiaving  the  ."Manors 
of  lioydeii  and  Ivoyden  Tuft  with  apjmrtenances  in  Ihjydcn  and  Jhesiii"- 
hani,  witli  lands,  tenements,  in(;ad(»ws,  jiastures,  wtxxls,  weyes,  with  rever- 
sions and  hi'i-editaiiients,  in  Koydeii,  Ihx'singhani,  and  Piss*  in  Norh)lk,  and 
in  Yaxley,  l\ve,  Thi-andesiou  and  Little  Thornham  in  Suffolk,  with  the 
manors  of  Kye  and  Lye  Hail,  lie  was  Lord  of  these  J\Linors.  "  A  manor 
may  contain  one  or  more  villages  or  hamlets,  or  only  part  of  a  village.  It 
may  he  comp(mnd<.'d  of  divers  things,  as  of  a  house,  arahle  laud,  pasture, 
meadow,  woods,  rent,  advowsou  and  such  like.  It  is  a  nohle  sort  of  fee 
part  granted  to  tenants  and  part  reserved  to  the  lord  and  his  familv.  The 
whole  fee  was  termed  a  lordship  ;  of  old  a  harony,  from  whence  tfie  court 
that  is  always  an  appendant  to  the  manor  is  called  tiie  c(iurtd)ar(ni,  which 
had  jnri.-^dictioii  umt  (he  inisdeineaiKn-s  and  disputes  (d'  the  tenants  witiiin 
the  nnuMn-,  and  cogni/.aiice  oi  ihe  (aistonis  of  the  manor.  \  maU(n-  is 
always  claimed  1)\  prescription,  hy  h)iig  continuance  of  time,  lie\(nid  the 
mcnnn-y  o{  man."  How  h)ug  these  niaiioi's  had  lieen  lield  liy  the  Sliei-mans 
has  not  been  ascertaiiu-d,  hut  it  is  not  improliahle  that  th(,'  ancestors  of 
Thomas  .Sherman  for  two  or  three  generations  had  lived  in  that  jiart  of 
Suffolk  and  N()rh)lk.

have  j)rospered  and  acipiirinl  proptaly.  lie  may  have  lived  a  part  of  the

'l"lu'  will  ol'  John  Sherman,  i:i'Utlcnian,  the  tliinl  .->oii,  was  proved  21 
No\.,  loS7.  lie  lived  for  a  time  in  liramfoi'd,  a  parish  a  few  miles  from 
Ip>\\  ieli,  and  afterw  ards  in  Ipswich,  lie  appears  to  have  bei-n  a  pr\ident, 
carelnl  man,  for  the  ten  ponn<ls  l)ei|ueatlied  to  his  children  dames  and  I'di/a- 
hetli  in  1575,  by  tlieir  brotlier  Koiiert,  becomes  in  l.JH?  se\enty  jiounds. 
llis  will  directs  that  his  son  dames  and  daughter  I'dizalM/th  shall  each  be 
paid  seventy  pounds  in  dischai'i;<'  of  the  huacy  i^i\cn  them  by  their  brother 
IJobert.  lie  iiad  a  daiiL;ht<'r  .)an<^  who  married  Kolieit  Toulson.  lie 
makes  his  son  jS'icholas  i'esi(luar\  lenatet',  and  devisee  and  sole  executor. 
His  rich  brother  William  who  died  in  l-JHu  nuuh'  him  one  of  the  overseers 
of  his  will,  li'ivin^'  him  a  legacy  of  £(j  los  4d. 

It  is  almost  certain  that  Henry  Sherman,  the  fourth  son,  is  Henry  Sher- 
man of  Colcliester,  whose  will  is  dateil  January  20,  15<S1),  and  was  proved 
25  July,  15110;  an  abstract  of  it  is  i^ivi'n  by  Mi-,  ^\■aters  in  tin;  Hi;(;isti:k, 
Vol.  5t),  pa:4e  2<SI.  d'heri;  is  nothin^■  in  this  abstract  to  indicate  Henry's 
jtarentaue  or  jilac'c  of  birth.  He  does  not  mention  a  brother — most  oi'  them 
weri'  dead  when  he  made  his  will.  it  is,  houescr,  disappoinlini;.  that  these 
testators,  when  menlionini;  their  brolher  Henry  or  their  micle  Henry,  did 
no!  add  some  word  of  descriplioii,  such  as  of  l)e(lham  or  Colchester,  or  i^ive 
some  fact  which  would  coiiclu>i\  ely  settle  this  (piestion.  l>ut  there  is  noth- 
ing in  these  w  ills  to  dis[»r(jve  this  identity,  and  there  is  good  evident^e  that 
Henry  of  Colchester  was  one  of  the  Yaxley  Shermans,  though  the  evidence 
may  not  be  sullicient  perhaps  to  be  c(jnclusive.  It  has  already  been  given 
in  the  liK(;iSTKK,  Vol.  51,  page  ^57,  where  the  Dedham  Shermans,  sons  of 
Samuel  Sherman,  a  grandson  of  Henry  of  Colchester,  are  said  in  IGGO,  by 
one  who  had  i^ood  reasons  foi-  informing  himself  on  this  |»oii]t,  "  to  be 
originallv  exlracleil  from  Ya\le\  in  Snrfolk";and  furlher,  the  Arms  of  the 
Siiermaiis  of  Iv-sex,  as  ri'cm-ded  in  llie  College  of  Arms,  are  llie  same  \\ith 
slight  \arialion  as  the  Arms  of  the  Yaxley  Shermans. 

\Villiam  Sherman,  the  lifth  son,  was  a  citizen  and  grocer  of  London,  l)ut 
wdien  he  made  his  will  2.S  Maie,  loS,'),  inhabiling  in  Ipswich,  where  it  is 
said  "are  uuuh'  i;('ntr\'  than  anv  olliei'  town  in  the  county  except  St.  1m1-

good  d(.al  of  time  in  England  in  genealogical  rest'arch,  writes: 

"St.  Ste])hens  (churcli)  Ipswicli.  In  1852  I  found  there  a  brass  j)late 
with  this  remaining  of  the  hiscri})tion,  viz.  :  2  shields  of  Arms,  one  of  Sher-

an  uld  ainl  |,ioinincnt  one.  ItH  I'^linree  is  ,nivc;ii  in  tho  Visilalion.  It 
MMiiis  i.iol.ulilc  lliat  honu'  of  the  family  symputhi/.ud  with  tin;  I'nrilans. 

it  wa-.  ihe  "(k-voul  Lady  Cave"  who  lu-rsnadcil  Ucv.  Fraiieis  lliLC.i;iii.soa 
to  |,r.a(h  llu;  sriinun  before  the  (iemral  Assizes,  in  Leioester,  in  i>laee  of 
\\\r  Doctor  of  Divinity,  who  havinuj  been  nominated  three  months  hetorij- 
haiid  hv  the  Sheriff  to  iin-aeh  on  that  occasion,  was  so  incompetent  that  he 
e(<iild  liot  |)repare  a  sermon.  His  friends  whom  he  consulted  in  his  per- 
plexity advised  him  to  call  on  Mr.  Ili.-ginson  to  do  it  for  him.  1'liis,  of 
course,  he  was  very  reluctant  to  do,  lieino;  vi(^lently  ojiposed  to  liim  and 
having  threatened  to  drive  him  out  of  the  town,  hut  the  night  before  the 
As.Mze  he-;an  he  sent  his  wife  to  T.ady  Cave,  who  prevailed  with  Mr.  llig- 
niiiM)ii  to  preach  for  him  the  ensuing  day.  Cotton  Malhi'r,  in  his  life  of 
Kev.  Francis  IliggiuNon,  ndates  the  incident  and  says  Lady  Cave  suffered 
it  to  oet  abroad  whh  the  result  that  the  Doctor  of  Divinity  was  so  ridiculed 
and  fell  into  smh  contempt  that  he  hdt  the  town. 

It  is  ctmiectnred  that  this  \Villiam  Sherman,  sou  of  John  Sherman  and 
Anna  Cav(',  is  the  William  Sherman  who  was  one  of  ihe  chief  siipport(;r8 
hi  J.eicester  of  Rev.  Francis  lligginson,  and  that  it  is  he  who  is  referreil  to 
in  the  following  extract  from  a  letter  of  Kev.  Thomas  W.  Davids  of  Col- 
chester, England,  to  jAIr.  Dean,  printed  in  the  Ri:gisti:k,  voL  "i?,  page  83: 
''Among"  the  papers  at  the  Uecord  OHice  ( Doin  Series  Charles  I., 
Ixx.wiii.  l.'i)  is  one  ndatiiig  to  several  non  conformists;  William  Sherman 
of  Leicester  being  one  of  them.  'I'he  date  is  after  August,  IC^'J.  it  ap- 
pi'ars  that  he  was  favored  by  IJishop  Williams,  and  his  case  is  referred  to 
as  an  example  of  that  prelate's  laxity.  William  Sherman  and  others  had 
hifonned  against  IMr.  Limit,  Vicar  of  St.  Margaret's  in  that  town.  To 
this  Llunt  reiilied  that  Sherman  and  the  rest  were  Puritans  whom  he  would 
not  s|iare  in  their  irregularities,  bi'iiig  Surrogate,  and  that  they  were  keep- 
ers of  Conventicles.  lie  adds  that  Sherman  and  his  fellows  knelt  before 
and  after  the  conununion,  but  stood  up  while  eating,  and  he  i)rayed  that 
the  liishop  would  interfere  ;  but  he  took  no  notice." 

'' It  also  appears  that  Sherman  and  anolher  had  got  inttj  the  Court  of 
Iliuh  Commission  for  divers  incouformities,  and  were  principal  ringleaders 
in  such  disorders;  and  that  they  were  the  means  of  introducing  lligginsoa 
to  Leicester,  and  contributed  to' his  snp])ort  there.  One  particular  alleged 
against  Sherman  before  the  Court  of  lli-h  Commissi.jii  was  that  Ik;  and  one 
Miller  had  set  up  some  one  ....  to  buy  the  vicarage  of  St.  Mclio- 
las  for  lliiiginson,  *a  notorious  noncoiiformi-t,'  and  contributed  money  tor 
that  purpo"'.  Sherman  escaped  from  tin;  Court  through  Williams's  inter- 
cession, lie  then  '  rijlurned  with  great  rejoicing  on  the  part  of  the  Puri- 
tans of  tin;  tovvne.' 

At  the  dale  of  the  jiaper  therti  had  been  several  conventicles  in  Sher- 
man's house  which  lligginson  used  to  fntpient.  Sherman  is  descril)ed  as  a 
man  (;videnllv  trusted  in  ibi;  whole  neiuliliorhood  and  of  some  inlluence, 
u  ho  had  snccessfnily  pleaded  with  Williams  for  the  releas.;  of  S(une  non 
conformists  from  the  Iscclcsiastical  Court." 

It  also  seians  plausible  to  suppose,  as  suggested  by  K'ev.  .Mr.  Davids,  that 
this  is  the  William  Sli.Tinan  to  whom.  Fei).  "ili,  1  (■.■i8--',»,  our  (joNtiiuor  and 
Company  in  Luiulou  gave  "liberty  for  II  dales  to  fech  his  keynes  m 
Norlhampt  near  .  .'  .  .  Feiw-y  ;"  doubtless,  as  I\L-.  Savag(!  say  *■ 
be  embarked  in  the  licet  with  lligginson.

WATERTOWN   FIDELITY   MEN. 


By  Ruth  Wood  IIoag,  A.B.,  Boston,  Mass. 

At  a  County  Court  held  at  Charlestown,  Dec.  18,  1G77. 

A  list  of  the  names  of  about  80  of  the  inhabitants  of  Watertowne  that 
tooke  the  oath  of  fidelity  before  Capt.  Mason  in  December,  '77,  was  re- 
turned to  this  Court  and  is  on  file.  Middlesex  Cou)ity  Court  Records,  vol.  3, 
p.  30G. 

This  list  had  become  misplaced  and  was  found  among  the  Court  files  for 
April,  marked  on  the  outside  Jane,  1777.  The  paper  is  fast  crumbling 
away  and  the  iuk  is  very  much  faded.  Accompanying  it  was  a  partial 
copy  of  the  names,  not  following  the  order  of  the  original,  made  by  J. 
AV^ingate  Thornton  in  184G.  The  following  is  as  complete  a  coj)y  of  the 
original  paper  as  I  have  l)een  able  to  make.  Coni|)arison  of  the  two  lists 
will  show  that  Mr.  Thornton  and  1  do  not  agree  in  the  reading  of  four 
iiamcH  ;  his  Joseph  AVhiting,  Thomas  Bishop,  David  Clarek  and  John 
Kendall  bt'lng  clearly  Joseph  AVhitny,  Thomas  biscoo,  David  Church  and 
John  Ivandall  as  I  read  them.  ]\Ir.  Thornton's  list  contains  one  name 
which  mine  does  not,  that  of  a  second  William  Shattuck.

1900.]  John  Gallop  of  Taunton,  Mass.  89 


JOHN  GALLOP  OF  TAUNTON,  MASS. 

My  Aliion  \).  llouoiis,  Jr. 

The  Taunton  Proprietors'  liecords  contain  the  following  entry : 
"The  names  of  the  children  of  Jvichurd  J)int :  Ahil,  borne  5  Dec. 
1G57.  Ester  GoUup,  dr.  of  John  Gollap,  borne  21  July,  1653. 
>Jary  Burt,  dr.  of  llichard,  borne  about  15  May,  IGGl.  llichard,  son, 
borne  about  21  June,  1003.  Joseph,  borne  about  15  May,  1G()G.

1G71.  Ephraiin,  borne  27  Feb.  1G74.  Abagail,  borne  28  Jan. 
1G7G."     [(J  KN.  Keg.,  xvii :  232] . 

Savage  says  that  the  above  John  Gollup  was  Capt.  John  Gallop 
of  ('onnecticut,  son  of  John  and  Christaljel  (j;dlo[)  of  liuston,  and 
this  statement  has  been  accepted  and  re})eated  by  the  compiler  of  the 
Gallup  Falnily  (published  in  18U3)  and  by  all  the  genealogists  of 
Bristol  County,  as  well  as  by  the  present  writer  in  his  edition  of  the 
Hodges  Family  of  New  Kngland. 

But  the  statement  is  clearly  incorrect.  No  document  has  as  yet 
been  discovered  which  in  any  way  connects  Ester  Gallop  of  Taun- 
ton (who  married  Henry*  Hodges)  with  the  Gallo[)s  ot  Boston  or 
of  Connecticut.  In  the  ilivision  of  the  estate  of  Capt.  John  Gal- 
lop of  Connecticut  five  daughters  are  mentioned,  and  these  five  are 
named  in  the  agreement  of  the  heirs,  and  Ester's  name  nowhere 
appears.  [Cdalkins'd  Hist,  of  New  I^ondon,  2*Jl.  Gallup 
Faiiiihi,  2G1.]  And  finally  Miss  Caulkins  in  her  History  of  New 
London,  pp.  {j'6,  74,  7i)  and  1)8,  shows  that  Capt.  John  Gallop 
applied  for,  and  was  granted,  a  1(H  in  New  Londun  between  Oct. 
lis,  1G5()  and  Feb.  25,  1()50-1,  and  was  an  actual  inhabitjint  of  that 
town  on  the  s[)ecific  chites  of  July,  1G51,  Nov.  18,  1G51,  Feb.  \), 
lt!52-3  and  Feb.  G,  1G53-4;  wiiile  from  the  records  immediately 
t'oMowing,  it  is  certain  that  another  John  Gallop  was  an  inhabitant 
of  Taunton  during  these  same  years.

xi.  1075,  May  14.  The  report  of  the  Committee  of  this  date,  giving 
the  list  of  ])ersons  entitled  to  be  proprietors  of  Taunton,  states  that  John 
Gollo()'s  rights  were  then  held  by  Henry  Hodges. 

The  above  eleven  items  constitute  all  that  I  have  been  able  to 
find  c()iieerniii<^^  ,)ohn  (lallop  of'i'auntoii,  after  a  lon<>- search  among 
till!  records  of  Taunton,  Dorchester,  Boston,  liristol  ('ounty,  Suf- 
folk County  and  elsewhere.  They  show  clearly  that  he  was  not 
Capt.  Gallop  of  Connecticut,  but  beyond  this  all  is  conjecture. 

Alany  of  the  first  settlers  of  Taunton  came  from  Dorchester,  and 
so  perhaps  fK)hn  (Jallop  of  Taunton  was  a  near  relative  of  Hum- 
phrey (Jallop  of  Dorchester,  (concerning  this  Humphrey,  almost 
nothing  is  known.  James  Blake,  in  his  "  Annals  of  Dorchester," 
says  that  the  first  inhabitants  settled  in  that  place  in  June,  1G30, 
and  that  Mv.  Gallope  was  a  person  of  note  among  them.  1  have 
found  only  two  records,  both  at  Dorchester,  which  refer  to  liini. 
"On  vXpril  3,  lGo3,  Mr.  Gallo])e,  having  1  cow,  is  required  to  set 
up  20  feet  of  fencing  in  the  Marsh  from  the  land  of  Richard  Phelps 
to  the  Creek.  {Boston  Rec.  Com.  llvjJort,  iv  :  1].  'Moseph  the

{Uoston.  Ilec.  (Join,  llcpoit,  xxi :  2.] 

It  is  probable  that  Joiui  Gallop  died  not  long  after  the  birth  of 
his  daughter  Ester,  and  that  his  wddow  married  Richard'*'  Riu't 
(Richard' )  of  Taunton,  in  which  case  her  name  must  have  been 
Charity,  as  Richard  Burt  had  a  wife  Charity  who  w^as  mother  of 
his  children,   with  the  possible  exception  of  Abel.      {Bristol   Co.

Probate  and  Deeds'].  This  supposition  rests  primarily  on  the 
record  iibove  quoted  of  the  "  names  of  the  cliihhx'n  of  Richard  Burt." 
Accordinji"  to  the  usa<2;c  of  that  time,  Ester  (Jallo))  wouhl  have  been 
called  a  ciiild  of  Kichard  Burt  if  she  was  his  step-daughter.  Further, 
Ester  Gallop,  who  married  Ilehry^  Ilod^^cs  (AVilliam')  of  Taun- 
ton, had  children  Charity,  Joseph,  Ephraim  and  Abigail — names 
found  in  the  Burt  family  but  uot  in  the  family  of  John"  Hodges, 
only  brotlier  of  Henry.  And  at  the  division  of  land  in  Taunton  on 
Dec.  2H,  1G59,  Jxichard  Burt  had  four  heads  in  his  family.  These 
four  heads  must  have  been:  Kichard,  his  son  Abel,  and  eitiier  a 
wife  and  child  who  died  soon,  or  else  wife  Charity  and  step-daugh- 
ter Ester  Gallop.  Finally,  items  ix  and  x  above  indicate  strongly 
that  Ester  Gallop's  father  was  dead  at  those  dates,  otherwise,  in  all 
probability.  Ester  would  not  have  received  land  grants  when  she 
was  so  young. 

Charity  Jiurt  survived  her  husband  Kichard  and  was  buried  in  the 
Neck  of  Land  graveyard  in  Taunton.  Her  gravestone  is  inscribed 
that  she  died  June  3,  1711,  aged  7G.  According  to  this,  she  was 
born  in  1(334  or  1G35. 

Kichard  Burt  had  an  uncle,  James  Burt,  whose  wife  was  named 
Anne.  Mr.  I.  W.  Wilcox  suggests  that  Anne  may  have  been  the 
widow  of  Humphrey  Gallop  of  Dorchester. 

Franklin  l*ratt  Esq.,  of  Taunton,  who  has  studied  the  Burt  family, 
tliiuks  that  Charity,  wife  of  Kichard  Burt,  was  daughter  of  George 
Hall  of  Taunton.  George  Hall,  in  his  will  dated  Oct.  16,  1GG9, 
nameil  a  "daughter  Charity."  This  was  an  unusual  name  at  Taunton. 
iMoreover  ,Iohn  Hall,  sou  of  George,  was  one  of  the  two  men  who 
Bworo  to  the  signature  of  Kichard  Burt  when  his  will  was  proved*

Ou  paije  404-  of  my  History  of  tiie  Dudleys  is  an  al)stnict  of  the  will  of 
David  Dudley  of  Dorlwiny;,  Surrey,  Enj;.,  copied  for  me  1)y  H.  S.  Graze1)rook, 
Esci-  This  David  Dudley  had  cliildren  :  Tliomas,  Jane,  William,  Dani(.'l,  David 
and  Edward.  Dorkinfj;  "is  near  Ockley  and  Guilford,  in  Surrey.  This  is  surely 
the  family  of  William  Dudley  who  settled  at  Giulford  in  Connecticut.  See  page 
'J6  of  my  History  of  the  Dudleys. 

On  page  4I(J  of  my  History  is  a  note  stating  that  "  A  William  Dudley  went 
to  America  in  H>;j7,  who  was  married  to  Jane  Lutman.  William  is  suiiposed  to 
have  had  brothers  Edward,  Daniel  and  David."  \.  H.  Butcher  is  tlie  auLlior  of 
this  in  Notes  and  Queries,  3d  series,  vol.  x.  p.  147. 

"  J\Iiles"  was  a  common  name  in  the  Connecticut  family  of  Dudleys.  So  was 
David.     Authors  must  read  my  account  of  these  Dudleys. 

I  think  Tiiomas  Dudley  of  London,  Eng.,  who  died  1549,  being  a  citizen  and 
draper  of  tiie  Drapers'  Guild,  was  the  great-grandfather  of  Gov.  Thomas  Dud- 
ley. Mr.  Withington  can  see  if  that  Thomas  Dudley  Avas  not  the  sou  of  Sir 
Edward  Dudley  and  Cecilia  Willougidjy,  who  spent  most  of  their  lives  at  tlieir 
home  in  Tothill  St.,  Westminster.

[The  name  of  Ball  is  very  common  in  various  parts  of  England,  and  the  lunn- 
ber  of  Ball  wills  is  abnost  eiulless.  Tiie  above  are  interesting  for  various  rea- 
sons. The  uncommon  name  of  Allen  Ball  in  the  will  of  a  pre-eminently  Cockney 
clothworker  (right  uiuler  Bow  bells)  indicates  isome  connection  with  Allen  Ball 
of  Ni'W  Haven.  The  Northamptonshire  and  Cambridgeshire  wills  have  some 
possible  connection  with  the  Virginia  Balls.  I  give  the  will  of  Dr.  Henry  be- 
cause a  daugliter  of  John  Uogers  the  martyr  married  a  Dr.  Henry  Ball,  but 
stated  to  be  an  ]\I.D.,  not  a  D.D.— L.  AV.]

[Most  any  will  from  Daventry  of  this  epoch  is  of  jjcculiar  Turitan  interest, 
being  tlie  birthplace  of  Kev.  John  Oxeiibridge  and  a  centre  of  his  immense  and 
all-important  family  connection.  Moreover,  I  think  these  Shakespeares  belong 
to  the  family  of  a  scrivener  of  tlie  cixicii,  John  Shakespeare,  whose  beautiful 
peiunanship  Is  frequent  in  the  Northampton  wills.  I  think  most  of  the  cousins 
of  William  Shakespeare  will  be  founil  among  the  ruritans,  and  very  likely  in 
New  England.— L.  W.]

NOTES  ON  THE  GILLrATRICK  FAMILY. 

In  1720  a  number  of  Scotch-Irish  families  from  the  north  of  Ireland  came  to 
New  Eii^huiil  and  estal)lished  theinselvcs  in  the  Saco  river  valley.  Anionic  them 
■were  Thomas  Gillpatrick  and  his  "vvife  Margaret,  Avith  nine  sons  and  two  daugh- 
ters, Avho  settled  in  that  i)art  of  Wells,  iMaine,  that  now  forms  Kennebunk. 
One  authority  says  he  came  from  Coh>raine,  another  from  Donathkeedy.  John, 
son  of  Thomas,  was  father  of  John  Jr.  He  and  his  son  and  successive  genera- 
tions had  their  homes  on  the  Mousam  river.  John  and  John  Jr.,  as  the  latter 
was  always  designated,  were  extensive  and  prosperous  farmers,  actively  identi- 
fied themselves  with  the  business  and  religious  life  of  their  community  and  were 
highly  esteemed  citizens. 

That  the  people  of  Wells  were  busy  people,  too  enterprising  to  neglect  their 
own  affairs,  is  shown  by  the  fact  that  at  a  town  meeting,  29  March,  1730,  John 
and  six  others  were  successively  chosen  constable,  but  each  refused  the  oflice 
and  paid  his  fine — -five  pounds. 

John  Jr.  was  probably  born  about  1728,  for  the  town  records  state  that  he 
died  G  June,  1802,  aged  seventy- four.  He  and  Elizabeth  Clark  Avere  published 
28  Dec,  1754,  and  were  married  27  Feb.,  1755.  They  had  eleven  children.  His 
wife  was  the  daughter  of  Eleazar  and  Elizabeth  Clark,  as  shown  by  a  receipt 
signed  by  both,  of  which  the  folloAving  is  a  copy:  "Wells  March  y«  24"i  1755 
Eeceived  of  our  mother  Elizabeth  Clark  in  part  of  our  portion  of  the  moveable 
Estate  of  Eleazar  Clarke  Late  of  Wells  Decast  twenty  Six  pound  nineteen  shil- 
ling teen  pence  Lawful  money  Received  by  us." 

When  the  "Second  Congregational  Society"  in  Wells  was  incorporated,  14 
June,  1750,  the  list  of  petitioners  for  the  same  included  John  and  John  Jr. 
When  the  parish  was  organized,  the  former  was  made  one  of  the  connnittee  for 
calling  parish  meetings,  and  was  on  the  list  of  twenty  persons  Avho  sni)scribed 
to  the  covenant  at  the  service  of  consecrating  the  church,  14  March,  1751.  lie 
was  taxed  at  this  time  £2  15s.  9d.  parish  money. 

In  1771  we  tind  John  Jr.  and  fourteen  others  petitioning  the  Parish  Assessors 
to  call  a  meeting  to  consider  the  question  of  building  a  new  church  on  the 
county  road.  After  a  second  petition  the  parish  voted  to  build,  and  to  disi)ose 
of  the  |)rws  according  to  the  raidc  of  each  person  in  taxation,  the  tlrst  or  highest 
in  the  list  iiaviug  tlu!  Urst  choice.  In  177;i,  in  the  dislribution  of  the  pews,  the 
father  and  son  were  in  the  lirsl  rank,  being  two  and  tliree  on  the  list,  John  hav- 
ing p(!W  number  nine,  and  John  Jr.  nund)er  three.  In  1784  they  raised  one 
hundred  and  eighty  bushels  of  corn  and  thirty  bushels  of  potatoes.  They  had 
large  dairies,  keeping  eight  cows.  Among  the  items  of  Wells  property  in  1745 
were  live  hundred  and  twenty-nine  cows,  the  number  of  polls  at  that  time  being 
two  hundred  and  twenty-one^  of  which  two  luuuli'ed  were  over  21  years  of  age. 

It  is  said  that  Wells  furnished  a  large  muuber  of  Revolutionary  ollieers,  and 
the  Massaclmsetts  archives  give  the  following  concerning  the  subject  of  this 
sketch: 

".luhn  Gillpatrick  Jr.  appears  among  a  List  of  Oftlcers  of  the  Massachusetts 
Militia  cliosen  by  2d  Co.  of  Wells,  March  20,  1776,  as  2d  Lieutenant  in  Captain 
Samuel  Waterhouse's  Co.,  3d  York  Co.  Regt.  Ordered  to  be  commissioned  ia 
Council,  March  21),  1770.— Vol.  43:  97. 

Jolni  Gillpatrick,  appears  with  rank  of  Lieutenant  on  Muster  and  Pay  Roll  of 
Capt.  Simeon  Brown's  Co.,  Col.  Nathaniel  Wade's  Regt.  for  service  at  Rhode 
Island.  Enlisted,  July  1,  1778.  Discluirged,  Jan.  1,  1779.  Service,  0  mos.  8 
days.  Company  raised  in  Essex  and  York  Counties.  Stationed  at  East  Green- 
wich.— Vol.  i.  p.  71." 

The  history  of  Kennebunk  says  lie  was  a  captain  in  the  militia. 

Ninth  April,  1778,  the  second  parish,  agreeably  to  the  reciuest  of  the  General 
Court  of  Massachusetts  Ray,  began  to  collect  stores  as  a  present  to  the  Conti- 
nental army,  and  in  the  account  of  the  nuniber  of  shirts  and  pairs  of  stockings 
given,  John  Jr.  is  credited  with  one  pair  shoes. 

lie  was  tax  collector  in  1774,  and  among  papers — still  preserved — left  by  his 
fourth  child,  Avho  also  bore  the  luune  of  John  and  died  in  1835,  a  few  days  past 
his  73d  year,  were  three  tax  books  kept  by  John  Jr.,  the  commission  and  nuister 
roll  here  represented,  the  receipt  mentioned,  and  a  letter  addressed  to  Lieut. 
John  Gillpatrick  of  Wells,  by  Siine(m  Brown,  dated  30  May,  1780,  in  which  he 
makes  explanation  concerning  the  State  and  Continental  "  weages  "  of  a  certain

Savery  in  Davis's  "  Anciknt  LA^;I)^tAHKs  ov  Plymouth."— I  regret  that  Mr 
Davis,  ill  till'  srcoiul  edition  of  his  vuliinhle  book,  liiis  omitted  to  correct  in  the 
Silvery  reeoni  an  error  wliieh  was  tiie  result  of  a  mere  eoujectnre  in  the  llrst 
edilioii.  His  "1st  Joliii,"who  married  iMartlia  Parlow  of  Middleboro',  he  repeats, 
■was  "  prul)ably  son  of  1st  Sanniel."  Now  this  Jolui's  name,  as  well  as  his 
son's,  was  spelt  on  the  records  of  Plymouth  county  indifferently  Severit  and 
Severy,  but  never  Savery.  See  Deeds,  vol.  30,  p.  218,  dated  May  20,  1735  ;  vol. 
31,  1).  26,  October  27,  17'35;  Book  37,  p.  71,  Dec.  2!),  1741,  and  several  other 
volumes  ;  and  vol.  5  of  Probate  Kecords,  p.  545,  for  the  form  Severy,  and  as  late 
as  vol.  50  of  Deeds,  p.  l'J7,  May  27,  1752,  for  Severit.  It  was  not  until  the 
time  of  the  1st  John's  areat  grandchildren  Daniel  and  tlie  "  1st  Neheiniah" 
that  tlie  name  of  this  family,  descendants  of  John  and  Martha,  assumed  the 
form  Savery,  and  it  ouj,dit  to  have  beiMi  iriven  a  separate  article  under  tlie  head 
"  Savery  or  Severy,"  in  the  Genealonicai  Re^cister  of  Plymouth  families  given 
in  the  "Landmarks."  In  my  Savery  Genealo.<j;y  (18*J3)  I  show  reasons  for 
believing  that  this  "1st  John  "  Avas  born  in  Marbleiiead,  and  lived  in  Wenham,  in 
the  records  of  wiiich  he  is  called  John,  Junior.  In  Marbleiiead,  wliicli,  we 
know,  early  received  many  Channel  Islands  settlers,  whose  Frencli  names 
were  soon  disixuised  by  translation  or  transliteration,  we  find  in  1080  a  John 
Sevrit,  clearly  an  Eiii,^lisli  transliteration  of  the  well-known  Jersey  name  Syvret 
or  Sivret,  which,  under  the  latter  form,  is  feund  to-day  anions  the  French  in 
New  Hrun.s\vick.  In  tlie  History  of  Fssex  County  (ilnrd,  editor),  sub  capite 
Wenham,  we  read  that  this  John  (the  surname  spelt  "  Severett")  removed  to  "Wen-

"  Sevrlt."  In  those  records  in  due  lime  we  (liid  Jolm  Sevrit,  Jun'mr,  nuirried  to 
Martlia  I'arlow,  and  contrii)Uliiig  to  tiie  records  llie  hirtlis  of  two  cluldren,  one 
of  M  hom  is  Mr.  Davis's  "  2d  John,"  who  married  IMary  Tliomas,  and  lived  in  Mid- 
dleboro'.  It  is  a  pity  that  sncli  a  peculiar  j^enealoiiical  incident  and  curious 
gradual  assumption  by  a  l)rancli  o!  a  family  of  a  name  so  widely  tlitferent  from 
tlie  oriiiinal  i)atronynnc,  should  have  escaped  notice  in  a  standanl  work  on 
tlie  faniilies  of  tlie  county  where  tlicy  are  foimd  ;  but  I  would  not  liave  l)ur- 
dened  your  ct)lunms  Avitli  the  aljo\e  proofs  lest  sucli  a  difference  l)el\veen  my 
own  conclusions  and  those  of  so  eminent  an  antiquarian  as  Mr.  Davis  miglit 
seem  to  wealten  the  authority  of  my  own.  A.  AV.  Savauy,

Dow. — Tlie  records  of  Haverhill,  Mass.,  and  Chase's  History,  are  doubtless 
wrong  in  giving  the  death  of  Mautiia^  Dow  (Stephen^,  Tlwrnas^),  [No.  73,  p. 
137,  "Old  Families  of  Salisbury  and  Amesbury"],  March  ];"»,  l(;;)(;-7.  Slic  was 
born  April  1,  1(J73.  Josiah  Gage  m.  a  Martha  Dow,  May  17,  1(j!)7.  She  d. 
lY'b.  10,  171()-7,  in  the  41lli  year  of  her  age,  as  recorded  on  her  grave  stone  in  the 
I'entucket  cemetery,  at  Haverhill.  Stephen^  Dow  mentioned  in  liis  will,  .Inly 
1,  1717,  "  my  son  .lositih  (iage."  The  Avill  of  Josiah  Gage  shows  that  his  wife 
was  dead,  July  4,  1717.     Both  men  died  in  July,  1717. 

The  Haverliill  records  of  births,  marriages  and  deaths  Avere  at  that  time 
arranged  by  fanulies.  Tlie  clerk  probably  entered  the  deatli  against  the  wnmg 
Martha  Dow.  Martha*  (Ilenry^j,  only  two  years  old,  may  have  been  killed  in 
tlie  Duslin  massacre.  A  similar  error  of  the  Haverhill  records  is  noted  on  p. 
275,  "Old  Fanulies."  Also,  John  Stevens,  Jr.,  m.  Hannah  Currier,  JNIay  18, 
1687,  on  the  same  records,  should  doubtless  be  l(j'.)7. 

The  record  of  the  death  of  Martha  Gage,  sent  me  by  Arthur  E.  Gage,  was 
received  too  late  for  insertion  in  my  "  Old  Families."

Petkk  Dauby. — I  have  noticed  in  the  history  of  New  Ipswich,  N.  H.,  by 
Frederic  Kidder  and  Dr.  .'Vugustus  A.  Gould,  page  380,  a  reference  to  Peter

IIa:mmond— Pkacii,  of  Marblehcad. — Richard  Hammond  was  in  Marblehead 
in  1G70,  and  Avas  undoubtedly  the  emigrant  ancestor  or  one  of  the  emigrant 
ancestors  of  the  Hanimomis  of  Marblehead.  The  following,  gleaned  from  Eng-

(1)  Edward  llammoud  and  wife  Catherine  were  living  in  the  Parish  of  St.

there,  among  whom  were  Mary,  Susan  and  William. 

(2)  William  Hammond,  whose  will  ilated  24  Jan.,  1649,  probated  23  May, 
1G50,  was  twice  married  and  left  a  large  family  of  children,  among  whom 
were  the  following : 

(3)  John,  ni.  St.  Clements,  Ipswich,  1G58,  Elizabeth  Crane.  They  had  several 
children,  among  whom  were  sons  John  and  William.

"  '  111  Memory  of  Captain  Joseph  Glover,  of  Jiostoii,  son  of  Captain  Elishaand

sent  it.  Since  then  it  has  occurreil  to  me  that  tiie  surname  "  Guthiui,'"  was  a 
false  reailiii-;  for  Cushiuir,  as  it  is  easy  to  mistake  a  eai)ital  "  C  "  for  a  ''^'  G,"  and 
a  long  "  s  "  for  a  "  t,"  i)articularly  Avhen  one  is  not  used  to  copyiii-;  such  inscrip-

was  a  native  of  Seituate,  I'lyiiioutli  County,  and  also  a  physician.  Mr  Sibley

be  slow  to  accept  the  other  Avithout  a  careful  reading  of  the  stone.  In  "  Idassa-

was  trom  Hanover,  Plymouth  County.  Mr.  Earry,  in  his  History  of  Hanover, 
says  :  '•  Dr.  Lemuel  Cnshiiig  Avas  a  resident  of  Hanover,  about  the  time  of  the 
Kevohition,  and  was  apjiointed  by  the  Provincial  Congress  a  surgeon  in  the

Those  who  are  acquainted  with  Dr.  Ilorton's  book  are  urgently  requested  to

Particular  attention  is  invited  to  the  following: 

ir<7As7('r.— Some  years  ago  I  commenced  to  study  the  records  of  the  Webster 
Family  in  Northern  New  England.  I  had  practically  completed  this  study  down 
to  the  time  of  the  Uevoliition,  Avhen  I  Avas  aiiplied  to  by  the  lat(!  William  A. 
Webster  for  information  on  the  subject.  After  exannning  my  manuscript  he 
asked  pernussion  to  copy  it  and  conqylete  and  publish  the  work.  This  contem- 
platiHl  work  was  brought  to  an  end  by  his  death  on  January  2,  IH'J'J.  I5y  an 
agreement  \vilh  his  wiilow  1  have  again  taken  charge  of  the  work.  It  is  my 
iuti'Ution  to  complete  the  work,  which  is  already  far  advanced.  It  will  probably 
be  possible  to  prd)lish  it  at  the  end  of  about  two  years,  and  it  will  form  a  book 
of  !d)out  live  hundred  i)ages.  JMy  object  in  writing  this  note  is  twofold.  First, 
to  ask  for  any  information  in  regartl  to  the  Wel)ster  Family  not  aheavly  sent  to 
Mv.  Webstcn-  or  myself.  And  secondly,  to  ask  for  subscriptions  to  the  work. 
'I'heprict-  of  the  work  will  be  live  dollars;  anil  the  publication  will  be  assun-d  if 
yuO  subscribers  are  guaranteed.     (V.  /'.  iSluirplcs,  L'l  Urmul  tSLrrct,  liotitoii,  Afd^'s.

This  report  consists  of  twi;iity  two  chapters  besides  the  special  report  of  the 
organization.  Tln.'se  (diapters  are  valuable  in  material  and  suggestion  luul  sev- 
eral of  which  are  decidedly  contributions  to  history.  The  inaugural  aildress  by 
Prof.  G.  P.  Eisher,  Yale  College,  as  president  of  the  Association,  treats  of  the 
function  of  the  historian  as  a  judye  of  historic  peisons.  The  address  is  a 
valuable  text  for  historical  writers.  Tin:  historian  is  to  Aveigh  in  the  scales  of 
justice  tile  merits  of  historic  men,  and  yet  he  is  more  than  a  biographer.  .More 
sources  are  available  to  him,  and  these  must  be  faithfully  studied  with  a  view 
to  cleariu'ss  and  accuracy,  and  to  an  impartial  statement  of  events,  persons, 
times  and  the  nation  treated.  The  historian  and  the  historical  teacher,  have 
indeed  a  dignity  all  their  own  ami  possess  for  themselves  even  the  high  court 
of  ajipeal  upon  wduch  all  the  world  await.

The  Fuvilan  as  a  Colonist  and  lieformer.  By  Ezra  Hoyt  Byington,  author 
of  "  The  Puritan  in  Enjiland  aiul  New  Enirland  "  and  "  The  Christ  of  Yester- 
day, To-day  and  Forever."  Boston:  Little,  Brown  and  Company.  1899. 
8vo.  pp.  xxvi.-|-37y.     [Price,  §2.] 

Those  who  have  read  Dr.  Byinutou's  former  book,  "  The  Puritan  in  England 
and  New  England,"  will  welcome  this  new  volume,  which  is,  in  a  sense,  sup- 
ph'iuentary  to  it.  The  title  does  not  altogether  define  the  contents ;  that  is, 
there  is  more  in  tlie  book  than  is  promised.  The  first  chapter  — the  Pilgrim  as 
a  Colonist  —  is  a  comprehensive  summary  of  the  story  of  Plymouth.  The 
second,  and  much  the  longest,  deals  with  the  Puritan  as  a  colonist,  and  chietly 
in  Massachusetts  umler  the  first  charter.  There  is  no  separate  cliapter  treating 
with  the  Puritan  as  a  reformer,  'llie  use  of  that  word  in  the  title  would  prol)- 
ably  Ix' jnstilletl  by  the  underlying  thought  that  the  New  Knghmders  were  es- 
.sentially  reforniers  in  all  tluit  they  attempted  to  do. 

The  third  chapter  is  properly  a  nnnnoir  of  the  Apostle  Eliot,  and  it  is  so  just 
and  apivreciative  that  it  deserves  a  place  somewhere  in  tlu;  title.  The  same 
might  be  .Kiiid  of  the  fourth  chapter,  on  Jonathan  Edwards  and  the  Great  Awak- 
ening, a  theme  which  the  author  knows  how  to  handle  from  his  familiarity  with 
the  literature  and  spirit  of  the  linu-.  The  last  chapter— '•  Shakespi'are  ami  the 
Puritans"  of  Kngland —  takes  us  out  of  the  colonial  Held  and  wouhl  seem  to 
belong  lo  the  atithor's  previous  volnnus  on  the  Puritan  in  England.  .\s  an 
0>>ay  by  it-el r,  upon  tlie  ethical  and  religious  elenn'iit  in  Shakespeare,  it  is  iu- 
ter.--lia"g.  If  Dr.  Hylngton  could  have  told  us  how  far  the  great  dramatist  was 
known  In  New  Kngiand  in  the  last  century,  he  wouhl  have  answered  a  long- 
citRii.llhi;  iuiiuiry.  Did  Cliauncy  and  the  Matlu'rs,  Willard  ami  Kdwards,  or  any 
of  the  learned  ndid.'.ters  and  nuiLjistrates  ever  own  a  copy  of  Shakespeare's  plays 
or  read  them  or  allndi!  to  them  in  any  of  their  writin::s? 

There  an;  three  pliotograpldc  illustrations —  the  well-known  portraits  of  Win- 
throp  ami  Kilward  ^Vin^low,  and  Kliot  i)reaehing  to  the  Indians  (frmn  the  bas- 
relief  on  the  ('(Uigrcgatiomd  l^inldiug).  'i'he  table  of  contents,  list  of  authori- 
ties and  Indi'X  are  very  complete  and  helpful. 

A  few  ndnor  errors  have  escaped  the  notice  of  the  proof-reader  and  can 
casilv  be  corrected  in  a  later  edition,  which  is  sure  to  be  called  for.  Page  ;i4,

21ic  Old  Families  of  Salishuri/  and  Ameshurij,  Massachusetts,  with  some  Belated 

FamiUis  olWcirbiinj,  Haverhill,  fpsioicli  and  Hampton.      By  David  W.  IIoyt.

"We  are  at  Icnstli  able  to  greet  the  completion  of  a  notable  collection  of  genea- 
logifH,  tiie  compilation  of  which  has  for  many  years  occupied  the  attention 
of  .Mr.  lloyt.  By  anthorities  of  the  (irst  rank  his  work  has  been  complimented 
as  incnmparal)le  in  its  iklelity  to  the  originals,  and  the  judginentdisplayed  in  the 
coml)inatlon  of  its  materials. 

The  littli  part  contains  the  genealogical  records  of  the  first  three  or  four 
generations  of  twenty  families,  from  StanAvood  to  Younglove,  besides  shorter 
genealogies  of  more  tlian  twenty  others.  In  addition,  it  comprises  the  signers 
of  the  Bradbury  petition,  portions  of  Capt.  Henry  True's  order  book — the  Salis- 
bury Kevolutionary  ofticer, — lists  of  early  Salisbury  and  Amesbiiry  ministers,  ten 
pages  of  additions  and  corrections,  general  index,  index  of  places  and  index  of 
names. 

In  previous  parts  should  be  noted  the  rectification  of  errors  regarding  the 
Ring,  Rolfe,  Sanders  and  other  families,  as  also  views  differing  from  those 
generally  held  resi)ecting  Francis  Dore,  or  Dow,  the  connection  between  the 
Baileys  anil  tlie  Emerys,  the  kinsiiip  of  Eli/.al)eth  Hunt  and  Sarah  Elliot  to 
Jarrctt  lladdon,  and  of  Sarali  (\)Ulc-Hale  to  the  Holfes  and  Kings.  Of  interest 
to  lilt'rature  is  the  account  of  thi^  Macy  family,  commcinorati'd  in  \Vhittii'r's 
"  I'InUcs."  Comph'te  lisls  are  given  of  the  purciiasers  of  Nanl-ucket,  \viiiLiier 
tlie  Macys  lied.  Another  of  WhitLier's  i)oems,  "  Tlie  Witch's  Daughter,"  re- 
ceives illustration  in  tlie  details  respecting  Susan  (North)  ilartin,  who  was 
executed  for  witchcraft  In  1(;!I2. 

Errors  resulting  from  iniveritied  reliance  on  Coflln's  History  of  Newbury  and 
Chase's  History  of  Haverhill  have  been  detected,  and  slips  for  insertion  at  the 
pages  where  they  occur  have  been  prepared. 

Robert  Hanuird's  removal  from  Audover  to  Nantucket,  not  hitherto  supposed 
by  other  \vrilers,  is  assertetl  Avith  proof. 

The  dill'erent  parts  will  l)e  sold  singly  so  long  as  the  200  sets  reserved  for  bind- 
ing are  not  broken.  The  price  of  Parts  One  and  Five  will  be  $1.25  each,  until 
further  notice,  though  they  will  be  furnished  to  original  subscribers  at  $1.00 
each,  acconling  to  agreement.  The  sui)ply  of  Bart  (.)ne  on  hand  is  smaller,  and 
the  preparation  of  Bart  Five  has  been  more  expensive,  than  of  any  otlier  part. 

To  tliose  who  purchase  at  this  time,  the  price  of  the  complete  volume,  bound 
in  cloth,  will  be  $(i.UO  sent  by  mail.     The  price  will  soon  be  raised.

tlicy  iiiuy,  in  tlie  IJitiire,  make  i)ublic  tlie  many  otlier  records  of  value  and 
iutt'ix'st  now  in  the  Slate  House.

Ten  Years  at  Femaquid.  By  J.  IIk.nuy  Cartland.  A  book  of  two  hundred 
pages,  printed  in  clear  type  and  with  a  dozen  or  more  good  illustrations. 

Its  design,  as  explained  by  its  title-page,  table  of  contents  and  author's  intro- 
duction, is  to  give  sketches  of  its  history  and  ruins,  its  location,  relics,  fortili- 
calioMs,  etc. 

Tlie  aullior,  a  lover  of  young  people,  whom  it  is  easy  to  imagine  would  be  in 
his  most  congenial  element  when  surrouniied  by  his  young  friends,  dedicates  his 
book  "  To  llie  Children  of  Maine."  Evidently  a  companionable  man  and  always 
in  a  cheerful  mood,  except  when  he  laments  the  lack  of  interest  of  iiis  co- 
temporaries  in  his  favorite  hol)by,  tliere  is  no  doubt  he  "would  be  a  delightful 
guide  to  Old  Pemaciuid  on  a  summer's  day. 

lie  is  not  afraid  to  dig  with  his  own  liands  for  relics  or  to  circulate  a  subscrip- 
tion paper  for  funds  to  dig  deeper,  l)Ut  the  genealogist  and  the  exact  historian 
wiU  miss  tlie  index  of  names  and  places  and  will  probably,  in  their  disai)point- 
ment,  underrate  the  real  value  of  the  work.  ,

McAdoky  OwKN,  Secretary.  Vol.  ii.  Tuscaloosa,  Alabama.  Printed  for  the 
Society.     18'JS.     8vo.  pp.  204. 

The  papers  contained  in  this  volume  are  very  valuable  contributions  to  the 
history  of  the  State  of  Alaijama.  Tiiey  are  also  enriched  by  editorial  notes  by 
the  secretary  of  the  Alabama  Historical  Society,  Thomas  McAdory  Owen,  Esq. 
The  old  State  of  Alabama  toolc  its  name  froni  the"  Alaljamas"  (a  bi'anch  of  tlie 
Choctaw-Chickasaw  Indians,  one  of  the  six  tribes  of  Indians^  who  formerly 
dwelt  in  towns  near  the  site  of  what  is  no\v  tlie  city  of  Montg(jniery.  Among 
these  interesting  papers,  that  l)y  Henry  S.  Halbert,  Esq.,  entilled  "Creek  War 
Incidents,"  Mr.  \V.  0.  Orr's  account  of  the  surrender  of  tlie  famous  Indian 
chief  WeatherTord  to  Gen.  Andrew  Jacks(in,  and  Mrs.  Virginia  Clay-Clo|)ton's 
well  written  biographical  notice  of  Clement  Claiborne  Clay  (who  was,  perhaps, 
one  of  the  most  distinguished  men  that  Alabama  ever  produced),  are  wortliy  of 
special  mention.  It  appears  from  a  letter  of  Col.  W.  JI.  Fowler's,  printed  in 
this  volume,  that  no  less  tlum  ;U),00()  men  from  Alabama  were  in  Gen.  Lee's 
army  (liu' Army  of  Northern  Virginia),  and  tiiis  numi)er  was  only  ai)out  one-

it  is  always  a  delight  to  read  about  southern  people;  pei'haps  in  no  section  of 
our  land  do  we  see  a  liner  sense  or  honor,  of  manliness,  than  in  the  pleasant 
southland;  the  members  of  the  old  southern  families,  in  common  with  those  of 
the  north,  are  ever  quick  to  resent  an  injury,  ever  (irm  friends  or  determined 
enemies,  fraid<  and  generous,  faithful  and  loyal  in  every  sense  of  the  word. 
Long  may  this  chivalrie  devotion  to  a  high  type  of  honor,  of  manliness,  prevail 
among  our  now  happily  i-euuiLed  people.

Very  interesting  indeed  is  this  diary  of  Dr.  Daviil  McCluro,  a  sturdy  mission- 
ary in  the  west  in  the  olden  time.  Of  Scotch-Irish  descent  (a  body  of  people 
who  have  done  so  mucii  to  settle  and  built!  up  our  great  Republic),  it  is  not 
surprising  to  find  that  Dr.  McClure  was  noted  for  his  ability  ami  his  upright 
life.  His  account  of  his  experience  among  the  Indians,  especially  of  his  inter- 
view Willi  the  great  Indian  chief  Logan,  in  what  was  then  the  far  west  (in  the 
vicinity  of  Pittsburg),  is  of  absorbing  interest.

1808.     8vo.     pp.  11G2. 

This  voliiuic  contains  an  immense  amount  of  very  valuable  historical  material, 
and  lliiiih  Ifastiiiiis,  Esq.,  tlio  State  liistorian,  is  certainly  entitled  to  ninch 
credit  for  tlu;  compilation.  It  inclndi'S  the  muster  rolls  from  17()0  to  177G,  in- 
cluding' a  culk'ction  between  lUSG  ami  I7G0.  The  work  is  embellished  by  several 
illustrations  and  maps,  one  of  which  is  a  map  of  old  Fort  Ticondero^^a  (or  Ty- 
condero,i,'a,  which  the  designer  of  the  same  claims  to  l)e  the  correct  spellina;). 
It  also  includL's  the  pul^lic  papers  (15  ms.  volumes)  of  Daiuel  1).  T(jmpkins, 
who  was  Governor  of  New  York,  1807-1817.  Tiiis  volume  also  contains  a 
very  valualile  series  of  articles  relatinij;  to  the  Civil  War,  bei,nnninji  Avith 
an  account  of  tlie"  First  Infantry  atl'air"  (the  capture  of  the  Smith's  Liiiht- 
ship  at  Mill  Creek,  Chesapeake  Bay,  Md.,  May  17,  18G1),  anil  liives  brief 
accounts  of  various  other  battles  in  whieli  New  York  rei,nments  partici- 
pated, namely:  Goldinii's  Farm,  Va.,  Fredericksburg,  the  Chaucellorsville  and 
Gettysburi^  campaigns,  the  Sabine  Pass  expedition,  the  capture  of  Fort 
Fisher,  the  battle  of  ^Yauhatchie  to  the  capture  of  Savannah  up  to  the  last 
light  at  Germaiituwn  in  Tennessee,  on  April  18,  1805.  Perhaps  one  of  the 
best  and  most  lasting  results  of  our  war  with  Si)ain  is  the  entire  eradication  of 
the  last  vi'stig(!  of  sectional  feeling  ])etv.'een  the  North  and  the  South,  making 
us  as  a  nalioii  stronger  and  more  united  than  Ave  have  ever  l)een  before  in  any 
period  of  our  lii-^tory.  As  the  stately  procession  of  the  years  come  and  go,  if  as 
a  people  Ave  are  faithful  to  the  leadings  of  Divine  Providence,  Avho  Avill  venture 
to  set  biiunds  to  our  national  progress?

The  first  year's  work  of  the  Society  has  been  already  noticed  in  the  Keg- 
l.srKi!,*  but  iiaviuir  been  most  unfortunately  omitted,  both  as  to  the  Society  and 
rari-^iies,  in  the  Subject  Index,  may  be  Avell  referred  to  here.  _ 

The  Lvdlinch  Ke-ister  represents  the  second  of  the  Dorset  parishes  pnnted 
1)Y  tlie  Soci.ty,  and  Ledburv  the  second  of  those  from  Herefordshire.  I  his 
last  Ixiii"-  a  verv  voluminous  iviiister,  covers  in  this  part  only  twenty  years 
(155(;-157(;)  and  \vill  be  continued  later;  its  baptisms  are  noteworthy  as  giving 
the  goilparents  in  all  cases,  which  are  often  of  great  value  in  identillcation.      _ 

Siiropsiiire  claims  a  somewhat  undue  proportion  in  the  list,  no  less  than  six 
of  the  ve-isters  being  of  that  county— a  fact  due  to  the  cooperation  of  the  local 
society,  whose  work'  has  already  been  noticed  in  the  RioGiyrHU.t  I"  ^his  con- 
nection we  cannot  but  re-ret  that  so  recent  registers  as  those  of  Battleheia 
()C,i;5),  HarK-y  (1715)  and  iMelverley  (1723)  have  been  selected  for  transcriptiou 
when  so  maiiv  more  ancient  and  interesting  records  are  rapidly  perishing. 

Kowiifloii",  for  Warsvickshire,  follows  the  interesting  Stratford-on-Avou|  in 
the  represenl.ition  of  that  county.  Clyst  St.  George  is  the  llrst  of  the  Devon 
parishes  to  l)e  printed  in  this  series,  and,  it  is  to  be  hoped,  will  be  the  precnrser 
of  uiauv  others  in  the  tier  of  southern  c<mnties  which  gave  so  many  of  our  early 
eini'-rant  families.  All  seem  most  carefully  edited  and  indexed,  and  their  hue, 
clear  type  and  hand-made  paper  are  littiug  dress  for  the  records  whicii  they 
preserve  and  make  accessi!)le  for  future  ages.  o      •   f

Bvn  Couire.     A  Tale  of  Jiof/ers's  Hungers,  1758-59.     By  M.  J.  Canavan.     With 

Illustrations  by  G   •  UGi;  Ginus.    Now  York:    The  IMacinillau  Cuiupany.    18'Ji). 

[I'rice,  $1.50.] 

Our  iiitL'ri.st  in  this  book  lies  in  the  historic  thread  that  runs  throui^h  it.  The 
author  has  made  hiuiself  familiar  with  the  period  of  the  French  war  and  allows 
the  narrator,  l?en  Coniee,  who  is  supposed  to  have  been  born  in  the  Muiiroe 
Tavern,  Lexing-ton,  in  1737,  to  tell  tlie  story  of  his  life  in  simple,  collmjuial 
style.     Wo  are  listeninLi:  to  him  in  tlio  year  1S12,  when  he  is  in  advanceil  a^f. 

The  early  chapters  relate  mostly  to  Lcxinuton,  and  i;ive  a  ijood  di'serlption  of 
the  old  town  and  its  leadini;-  citizens,  includini^  the  famous  ministers,  IlancOck 
and  Clark.  We  are  then  taken  over  the  lom^  march  to  Fort  Edward  with  the 
llanyrers,  and  much  is  said  of  Lake  George  and  Ticouderoga  and  Fort  Anne,  of 
Abercrombie.  Howe,  Andierst  and  Gage,  of  Stark,  Putnam  and  Rogers,  and 
their  many  deeds  of  valor,  which  young  readers  will  especially  appreciate. 

A  bit  of  romance  is  reserved  for  the  very  end  of  the  story.  *  «  ♦

In  alnlity  to  i)repare  an  inviting  volume  not  one  whit  behind  their  brothers  of 
similar  patriotic  societies,  the  ladies  of  the  above  organization  have  proeluced  a 
really  brilliant  s|)ecinien  of  the  bookmaker's  art,  for  the  badge  of  the  society,  in 
gilt  and  blue,  on  the  cover,  together  with  the  gorgeous  Hag  of  tiie  organization, 
inserted  as  frontisinece,  lend  an  attractiveness  to  a  volume  which  would  other- 
wise appear  to  be  but  a  rigid  register  of  members,  with  the  record  of  the  co- 
lonial ancestry  of  the  same.

Our  curiosity  is  at  once  excited  by  such  a  title  and  is  only  allayed  when  we 
learn  that  the  "Honor  lloU"  is  a  list  of  men  and  women  who  loaned  money  to 
tlie  Federal    Government  during  the  years  1777-1779.      Among  the   names   of 
those  who  furnished  the  "sinews  of  war"  in  the  dark  days  of  the  Revolution, 
appear  many  of  our  familiar  and  prominent  New  England  patronymics.

of  Aldermen  acting  as  County  Commissioners  for  the  County  of  Sutl'olk.  The 
flrst  volume  of  this  series  was  authorized  April  13,  1880,  and  was  completed 
before  the  close  of  the  year.  A  glance  at  the  ten  bulky  volumes  now  issued 
shows  tlu!  propriety  and  wisdom  of  preserving  their  contents  in  print. 

Tlie  (diief  attraction  of  this  i)rosont  volume  is  the  Introduction,  in  which  Mr. 
John  T.  llassam,  who  has  h:ul  cli;irge  of  the  printing  from  the  beirinniug,  has 
collected  with  much  care  biograiihies  of  the  Farly  Recorders  :ind  Kriiisters  of

prei)ari'd  as  a  paper  for  the  Massachusetts  Historical  Society  and  ri;ad  before 
that  associalion  in  May,  1898,  and  was  noticed  in  the  KicdisrKU  for  J;innary  last,

Dr.  Stiles  has  had  much  experience  as  a  writer  on  historical  and  genealogical 
subjects.  The  list  of  his  works  includes  the  History  of  Brooklyn,  3  vols. ;  the 
History  antl  Genealogy  of  Ancient  AVindsor,  Connecticut,  2d  ed.,  2  vols.,  and 
the  Coniuictieut  Stiles  Fannly,  of  which  ho  is  author,  and  the  History  of  King's 
County  and  the  Humphrey  Family,  of  which  he  is  the  editor.  These  works  are 
evitlenccs  of  his  ability  to  give  advice  on  the  subject  ho  has  chosen.  No  one  is 
better  lilted  for  it.     The  book  will  be  found  very  useful.

found  not  only  a  vast  amount  of  information  bearing  upon  the  national  and

of  the  book  ably  treats  of  the  Kev(jlution  in  general,  enumerating  the  battles,  de- 
scribing the  First  Continental  C'ongress,  setting  forth  the  milUary  records  of 
liundreds  of  Revolutionary  soldiers,  and  crowning  allAvith  a  graphic  delineation 
of  the  life  and  work  of  lieorge  Wasliiugton.  The  score  or  more  of  tine  illustra-

This  extremely  interesting  book  gives  the  best  picture  of  the  life  of  a  country 
.ini.'-ter  of  the  last  century  that  the  writer  has  seen.  The  illustrations  add  ' 
j;reatly  to  the  volume  and  it  appears  to  be  very  carefully  edited.  If  the  entire 
diai'y,  assuming  that  Mr.  Farkman  kept  one,  as  apparently  he  did,  during  the 
wdiole  of  his  long  ministry,  were  in  existence,  Westborough  would  be  excep- 
tionally fortunate  antl  historical  scholars  Avould  possess  a  view  of  the  home  life 
of  New  England  for  sixty  years.  The  coat  of  arms  is  one  of  Cole's  productions, 
but  as  its  original  once  hung  in  the  Westborough  parsonage  its  ai)pearance  as 
the  frontispiece  is  excusaljle.  It  is  to  be  regretted  that  so  valuable  a  book  is 
not  printetl  on  durable  linen  paper.

Iiijj:  for  tlicm  n,  school  in  Virginia,  was  committed  to  aptest  hands  when  entrusted 
by  Mi^s  llolloy's  friends  to  Mr.  Cliudwii'lc.  Jiriflly  mentioned  in  Garrison's  l)io- 
grapii y,  lier  carei'r  of  ardnons  and  often  diseonrayinj;-  worl<  deserved  tlie  iletailed 
and  aiipreeiative  comnienioration  ■wliieii  it  receives.  Tiie  danjj^liter  of  Myron 
lloll(\V  eonld  not  avcII  Inive  ati()i)leel  a  diU'erent  course  of  life,  and  those  avIio  read 
tills  ^•oluule  uill  llnd  in  lier  letters  the  entertainment  and  instrnction  always 
alforded  by  an  enthnsiast,  es()ecially  Avhen  the  cause  enkiuiUing  the  ardor  is  the 
noblest  that  ever  inllanied  the  human  heart. 

Men  of  New  York  is  a  l)io^raphical  encyelopuHlla  that  most  brilliantly  fulfils  all 
the  expectations  it  has  created,  as  it  is  scarcely  possible  to  imagine  press  work 
more  j^erfect;  the  matter  of  tiie  text  is  indicated  in  the  title.  The  second 
volume  includes  a  synoptical  index  of  the  entire  \vork,  fnrnishins'  tiie  i)rineii)al 
events  in  the  history  uf  eacli  person,  as  also  additions  gathered  since  the  publi- 
cation of  each  biograpliy. 

The  sweet  face  of  Mrs.  Thwing  renders  intelligible  the  exclamation  of  her 
husband,  "  I  f  you  had  only  known  her!"  In  .six  chapters  of  rennniscence  her 
friends  recall  the  years  at  Farnnngton,  Vassar  College,  Cand)ri(.lge,  Minneapolis 
ami  Cleveland,  the  rem.niuder  of  the  volume  Ijcing  (llled  ^vith  the  "  .Journal," 
consitleri'd  by  Mr.  Thwing  as  exhibiting  more  clearly  her  mental  and  moral 
qualities  than  almost  any  other  of  her  prodnctitjus. 

Tile  lUaneiiard  Alemorial  comprises,  hesiiU's  a  sketch  of  Luke  IJlanchard's  life, 
sectiuns  tnating  of  the  dedication  of  the  Blanchard  menH)rial  stone,  the  "  Sig- 
nilleanee  of  Minute  Men  and  Memorial  Stones,"  the  "  Minute  Man  and  the  New 
England  Meeting-Uonse,"  the  "  Ancestral  .Vunals  of  Calvin  and  Luther  IMan- 
chard,"  and  other  allied  subjects.  The  illustrations,  to-icther  with  tlie  nunute 
description  of  them,  are  a  signiilcant  part  of  a  work  undertaken  to  present  tlie 
events  (jf  April  10,  1775,  in  their  rulation  to  tlie  dedication  of  the  "  Memorial 
Stone"  erected  by  the  publisher  to  the  memory  of  the  men  whose  names  are 
borne  on  the  title-page. 

'I'he  perennial  iilolatry  accorded  to  Washington,  not  only  by  Americans  but 
by  all  lil)erty-loving  peoples,  will  be  gratilicd  l)y  the  result  which  Gen.  Carring- 
toifs  siudies  have  attained,  that  is,  the  cviilence  tliat  Washington  Avas  in  truth 
one.  of  the  lirst  military  geniuses  of  the  workl.  The  book  will  impress  anew 
upon  all  minds  the  image  of  tlie"  Ideal  Soldier  "  who  was  foremost  among  those 
who  assisted  to  establish  what  he  hoi)ed  would  be— to  use  his  own  wcn'ds — "  an 
asylum  for  the  poor  and  oppressed  of  all  nations  ami  religions." 

"  iiun  across  a  dead  Johnny.  Went  through  his  pockets,  found  a  plug  of 
tobacco.  J5y  his  side  lay  a  bag  of  Hour.  Appropriatetl  both,  and  that  night 
had  some  fritters  and  a  good  sinok(!.  Such  is  war  ...  1  burieil  many 
legs,  arms,  hands  and  dead  boilies.  Horrid  scenes  in  and  about  the  hospitals." 
Abounding  in  such  details  as  these,  Lt.  Howe's  Diary  and  Letters  give,  what 
such  liLm-ature  is  especially  valuable  for,  a  lirst-hand,  unvarnished  record  of  the 
ungloriliable  conimon[>laces  of  \\ar.  The  book  ■will  hold  tiie  attention  of  the 
retuier  from  bogiunim:  to  end,  its  unpretentious  style  fuiLlifnlly  transnutting  the 
iiniuessi<nis  ot  a  mind  similar  in  intrlligenee  and  patriotic  fervor  to  the  minds 
of  Ihousunds  of  unnanifd  soldiers  who  fcmght  on  either  side  in  the  Civil  War. 

MarvelloiHly  beautiful  is  tlie  volume  that  descrihes  tin;  Colt  Memorial  Ibiild- 
ings,  with  illustrations  of  unsui'|)assal)le  excellence,  ami  letter-press  ecpially 
artistic.  The  Church  of  the  Good  Shepherd,  in  llartforil.  Conn.,  commemora- 
tive of  Col.  Samuel  Colt  and  three  infant  children,  the  Caldwell  Hart  Colt 
Memorial  House,  both  erected  by  Mrs.  Samuel  Colt,  and  "  Armsinear,"  the  resi- 
dence of  Col.  Colt,  are  the  subjects  illustrated;  Avhile,  besides  the  ilescriptiou 
of  these,  the  book  contains  the  address  and  prayer  at  the  dedication  of  the  Me- 
in(.)rial  House. 

The  "  Unredeemed  Captive"  relates  a  singular  story,  as  it  still  remains  doubt- 
ful whether  Lunice  Williams  voluntarily  adoiiteil  a  savage  life,  or  whether  her 
whole  existence  of  ninety  years  was  one  of  coercion.  Her  history  and  that  of 
DeerlleUl  previous  to  the  time  of  her  capture  are  interestingly  told  by  Mr.  Johnson. 

The  monograph  of  Mr.  Eaton,  "prepared,"  as  he  says,  "  for  historical  pur- 
poses only,"  ctjiisisting  of  sketches  of  the  eminent  military  services  of  members 
of  the  family  of  his  wife,  is  characterizi'tl  by  the  thoroughness  and  graceful 
style  iieculiar  to  the  other  productions  of  the  author. 

The  character  ami  actions  of  a  deeply  religious  and  public-spirited  man,  li- 
brarian and  historian,  are  llttingly  eulogized  in  Mr.  King's  Memorial  Discourse, 
the  princiiial  events  in  the  life  of  Dr.  (Juild  occu[)ying  due  space  in  the  sermon.

We  continue  in  tins  number  our  quarterly  notices  of  genealogical  worlis  re- 
cently published. 

Tlie  exhaustive  researches  of  the  compilers  of  the  Cleveland  Genealogy  have 
produced  a  unique  work,  preserving  the  liistory  of  an  extensive  and  honorai)le 
fanuly,  whicli  tliey  have  collected  not  only  froin  the  usual  sources  of  ueneulo- 
gies,  l)ut  also  by  making  record  of  everyone  of  the  Cleveland  name  mentioned 
in  army-rolls,  Slate  archives,  pension  reports,  periodicals,  advertisements, 
directories,  etc.  Attention  is  invited  by  the  compilers  to  the  ancestries  of 
husbands  and  wives,  the  method  of  their  arrangement  odering  great  assistance, 
it  is  claimed,  in  the  verification  of  relationship  to  ancestors  distinguished  in  the 
service  of  their  country.  Beginning  in  lu6U,  the  record  is  contiimed  to  the 
present  generation  in  so  con)prehensive  a  manner  as  to  well  merit  the  epithet 
universal.  Une  may  acknowledge,  but  hartlly  realize,  the  labor  involved  in  the 
compilation  of  materials  suHicient  to  till  three  vohunes  of  such  a  size,  much  of 
the  print  —  for  instance,  all  of  the  collateral  ancestries  —  being  of  tiie  tinest 
legil)le  type.  Nearly  eiglity  illustrations,  cliieliy  portraits,  all  of  superior  ex- 
cellence, are  an  attractive  feature  of  the  work.  Among  them  is  that  of  the 
collaborator,  Horace  G.  Cleveland,  to  whose  decease  liis  associate  feeliuiily 
alludes,  attributing  to  his  indefatigable  industry  the  completeness  of  the  joTnt 
achievement.  Three  indexes,  occupying  nearly  four  hundred  pages,  testify  to 
the  wide  range  of  researcli  whose  results  are  thus  rendered  available.  The  con- 
cluding chapter  of  the  work  consists  of  an  account  of  Edward  Winn,  and  de- 
scendants, —  father  of  Ann,  wife  of  the  Moses  Cleveland  mentioned  in  the  title 
page,  — and  also  notices  other  Winn  emigrants  to  America,  constituting  what 
may  be  considered  as  a  supplement  to  the  C^leveland  Genealogy,  and  showing 
the  al)und!ince  of  collateral  information  gathered  in  the  course  of  investigations 
rcciuircil  for  the  production  of  a  family  history  wortliy  of  descending"to  the 
I)ust('rity  to  which   it   is  bequeathed. 

WIdle  conducting  research  on  behalf  of  Mr.  Voluey  W.  Foster,  the  author 
of  the  Foster  (Jenealogy  discovereil  that  no  Foster' history,  commensurate 
with  the  i)rominence  of  the  family,  had  as  yet  been  attempted.  Adding  to 
the  materials  relating  to  the  branch  he  had  first  investigated  such  data  re- 
specting other  lines  as  he  has  since  collected,  he  has  produced  a  work  cor- 
responding in  arrangement  and  value  to  the  numerous  ireuealoi^ncs  already 
published  by  Mr.  Pierce.  Besides  the  ilcscendants  of  Jieginalil  Foster  of 
Ifiswich,  to  whom  are  assigiu-d  nearly  four  huudreil  pages,  the  Dorches- 
ter, Salem,  Long  Islanil,  Scituate  and  Chelmsford  families  are  included,  fol- 
lowed by  sections  relating  to  the  descendants  of  John  Foster  of  Kingsware, 
England,  and  to  Andrew  Foster  of  Andover,  Mass.  There  are  about  two 
hundred  illustrations,  views,  coats  of  arms  and  portraits.  The  index  is  in- 
adeciuate.  One  thousand  pag(!S  of  small  type  require,  at  least,  an  alphabetical 
arrangement  of  names,  completed  by  the  printing  of  Christian  names  in  full. 
A  list  of  corrigenda  should  have  been  added  for  statements  such  as  that  on 
page  2,"j5,  viz.,  that  Jolm  Foster,  baptized  March  30,  1700,  married  Susannah 
Robinson,  granddaughter  of  lieo.  John  liabinson,  the  rUyrim  pastor,  who  came 
over  in  the  Maijjlower. 

The  youthful  author  of  the  Hinds  Genealogy  deserves  congratulation  for  the 
accom|)lisliment,  at  his  age,  of  so  arduous  a  task  as  the  compilation  of  such  an 
extensive  and  thorough  work.  It  is  the  result  of  great  i)ains;  the  arrangement 
of  the  nuiterials  collected  is  adnnrable,  placing  the  information  which  the  book 
contains  at  the  service  of  the  reader,  with  the  least  possible  trouble  to  himself. 
This  arrangement,  together  with  the  exhaustive  indexes,  turns  the  book,  as  It 
were,  inside  out  at  a  glance,— a  quality  of  self-disclosure  which  trebles  the 
value  of  a  geuealogy.    The  print  is  good,  and  the  illustrations  equally  so.

1900.]  Booh  Notices.  125 

The  table  of  contents  of  the  Hutcljinsons'  Story  discloses  the  variety  nnd 
piquancy  in  the  narrative  which  niiulit  be  expected  from  its  author,  especially 
as  in  this  antobiography  he  lias  told  whatever  seemed  to  hiui  the  most  worthy  of 
relation,  and  has  also  told  it  in  a  manner  peculiarly  bis  own.  The  last  survivor 
of  "  tlie  Hntchinsons  "  has,  in  the  publication  nf  these  deeply  Interestinc;  vol- 
umes, merited  the  frratitnde  of  tlie  patrons  of  reform  and  music  in  two  con- 
tinents. Tliey  possess  a  distinct  valm;  as  hist(M-y,  since  the  famous  quartette 
was  more  or  less  closely  connected  with  many  of  the  jiroiircssive  movements  of 
the  last  half-century.  Liice  the  •'  almost  miraculous  "  siuiriuLf  of  the  family,  this 
account  of  their  adventures  is  in  a  style  artless,  emotional,  and  therefore  etl'ec- 
tive.     The  illustrations  are  very  characteristic. 

The  Humphreys  Family  sniiplemeut  consists  of  "abstracts  of  wills  and 
memoranda  concerning;  the  Kuiilish  Ihimphreys,  collected  from  the  i)ublic,  civil 
and  ecclesiastical  record  ollices  of  (Jreat  liritaiu."  As  au  appendix  to  one  fif 
the  superior  American  ^euealo^^ies,  whose  value  is  annually  increasing,  it  will 
be  rccoi!;nized  as  exlill)itin<j  qualities  siudlar  to  those  of  that  work.  Its  elabo- 
rateness is  obvious  on  ev(;ry  pai^e.  Uesides  the  extracts  from  the  Knf,dish  rec- 
ords, it  contains  the  Revolutionary  services  of  the  Humphreys,  also  an  Orange 
County  (N.  Y.)  Humphrey  family,  and  an  obituary  of  Hon.  James  IM.  Mont- 
gomery, of  Buffalo,  N.  Y.  An  index  and  portrait  of  Dr.  Frederick  Humphreys 
complete  the  \vork.        '       ' 

'i'lie  Stack|)ole  Histoi-y  aiid  Ticliealoiiy,  after  sections  givins  accounts  of  the 
Irish  Stackpoles,  the  Coat  of  Arms,  the  Clare  (^)unty  Stiiekpoles,  .lames  Stack- 
j)ole,  the  I'udirrant — found  at  Dover,  N.  H.,  in  Ki.su  — and  Lieut.  .John  Stack- 
j)ole  of  Hiddeford,  i)resents  on  pai^e  (ID  a  sumnnuir  up  of  the  llrst  three  genei'a- 
jons  of  the  Stackpoles  in  America.  The  remainiufi;  chai)ters  exhiliit  the  dif- 
ferent branches  of  the  family,  viz.,  the  descendants  of  Lieut.  Samuel,  Joshua 
Jr.,  Charles,  Ebenezer,  Otis,  Tobias,  James  of  Tliomaston,  Me.,  William  of 
Boston,  John  of  Durham,  Me.,  Absalom,  Stephen,  Capt.  James  of  AVaterville, 
Me.,  Andrew  of  Biddeford,  Josepli  of  Auj^usta,  and  the  Stack|)Oles  of  Penivsyl- 
vania.  Unclassified  Stack|)oles,  the  Military  Record,  the  Collej^e  Alumni,  hud 
the  First  Reunion — at  Rollinsford,  N.  H.,  —  are  the  topics  of  the  concluding 
chai>ters.  An  index,  in  two  i)arts  and  of  tlie  most  serviceable  method,  com- 
pletes the  volume.  Tiic  illustrations  are  tine,  those  representing  the  seats  of 
the  transatlantic  Stacki)oles  being  very  picturescjue;  twenty  portraits  are  in- 
cluded in  the  list  of  embellishments.  The  binding  and  print  are  both  com- 
niendal:)le. 

Mr.  Frank  Montgomery  has,  in  the  Montgomery  and  Somerville  families, 
condensed  the  manuscript  history  of  these  fandlies,  prepared  l)y  the  Rev.  AV.  G. 
Montgomery,  now  deceased,  adding  to  it  collections  made  by  himself  and 
others,  and  thus  forming  a  book  which  will  be  of  material  assistance  in 
tracing  the  ancestry  of  the  names  on  the  title-page,  and  which,  furthermore, 
by  the  blank  leaves  provided,  oflers  anyone  who  can  the  opportunity  of  increas- 
ing the  amount  of  genealogical  recoi-ds  necessary  to  the  completion  of  the 
various  lines.  The  volume  is  well  printed  and  illustrated  with  portraits.  There 
is  no  index. 

The  prolonged  search  of  the  Hartford  records  and  those  of  the  Colony  of 
Connecticut  for  the  data  embodied  in  the  Olcott  Family  is  plainly  evinced  in 
the  style  of  the  work  resulting  therefrom.  The  branches  undertaken  are  treated 
with  lavish  detail,  the  authenticity  of  the  statements  being  guaranteed  by  most 
copious  references.  The  thoroughness  displayed  in  the  compilation  is  also  car- 
ried into  tlie  index,  au  addition  as  Indispensable  to  all  works  like  this  as  is  a 
directory  to  a  city.  A  tabular  Olcott  I'edigree  still  furtiier  increases  the  use- 
fulness of  the  volume. 

The  Goldthwaite  Genealogy  relates  to  the  descendants  of  Thomas  Gokl- 
thwaite,  who  Avas  the  ancestor  of  all  the  Goldthwaites  in  America.  As  a  result 
of  fifteen  years'  labor  the  author  has  collected  the  names  of  two  thousand  and 
six  hundred  Goldthwaites,  bringing  the  records  of  the  family  down  to  the  tenth 
generation,  from  Thomas  of  Salem.  The  illustrations  comprise  views  of 
residences  in  England,  and  portraits  of  old-time  members  of  the  race  to  whom, 
for  various  reasons,  Avas  aceordcd  especial  estecun.  The  appt'udix  (contains  tAvo 
documents  of  importance,  the  Goldtjiwaite  Record  left  by  John  Goldthwaite  of 
Danvers,  born  in  1771,  and  the  account  of  the  Boston  family  given  by  Miss 
Hannah  Goldthwaite  Gowen,  born  in  \1H.    The  binding  is  neat  and  substantial,

The  .ureally  reiiretted  decease  of  the  compiler  of  the  Sargent  Record,  before 
the  coniplelion  of  his  work,  has  not  prevented  the  linisiiinj,'  of  a  voUime  con- 
tainin;,'  the  records  of  about  five  thousand  and  three  luindiXHl  persons,  and  show- 
Ini;  liie  patience  and  skill  bestowed  on  liie  task  to  which  the  author  sacrificed 
bis  life.  The  scope  of  the  frenealoijy  is  indicated  in  the  title.  A  marked  ex- 
cellence is  an  inilex  filling  sixty- four  pages.  The  book  is  illustrated  with  por- 
traits. Thanks  are  due  to  llie  Caledonian  Company  for  securing  the  completion 
of  a  valuai)le  production,  and  presenting  it  in  such  form  to  the  public. 

The  (irazebrook  Petligree  relates  to  this  family  since  their  settlement  at  Slien- 
ston,  Co.  Stafford,  England,  in  1201,  and,  containing  as  it  does  suflicient  proofs 
for  every  generation,  aims  at  inciting  others  wlKHiave  a  pedigree  to  i)rove  it 
step  l)y  step  from  records,  instead  of  referring  to  documents  wiiicli  generally 
supply  no  references  now  of  service.  The  combining  of  the  fragments  scattered 
through  the  periodical  in  which  they  first  appeared  is  a  most  iiai)py  idea,  and, 
among  other  objects  attained,  will  attract  the  attention  of  the  Sewalls  who  are 
descendants  of  Henry  Sewall  and  Margaret  Greysbrooke. 

The  beautifully  printed  Samuel  Williams  (ienealogy,  v<'ry  largely  derived  from 
the  collections  of  IJeiijamin  F.  Williams,  of  Grafton,  will  afford  pleasure  to  the 
descendants  of  the  Grafton  pioneer,  and  also  furnish  records  serviceable  to  the 
geneal(>gi,st.  Samuel  Williams  was  the  fifth  in  descent  from  Richard  Williams 
of  Tauntuu. 

Tlur  reprint  of  the  Sherman  Wills  w  ill  render  these  important  documents  more 
accessible  to  those  interested  in  them. 

Rev.  Mr.  Jlicks  has  conferred  a  favor  on  the  pul)lic  l)y  consenting  to  print  in 
so  haudsuine  a  form  his  very  interesting  paper  on  Ralph"  Wlieeh)ck,great-iirand- 
father  of  the  first  president  of  Dartmouth  College,  and  allirnied  by  amply  sup- 
ported tradition  to  have  taught  the  first  free  school  in  Massachusetts.  Mr. 
llifiks's  enthusiastic  admiration  of  the  Puritan  minister— for  such  he  was  in 
England— schoolmaster  and  public  spirittul  citizen  has  produced  an  eminently 
readalfie  sketcli.  The  genealogical  additions  by  Mr.  Wheelock  consist  of  facts 
of  sjK'cial  importance  to  those  of  the  Wlieelock  name,  ami  admirably  complete 
the  contents  of  a  book  whose  exterior  is  in  every  way  fine. 

Tlu!  l^hvard  Autill  whom  Mr.  Nelson  commemorates  was  a  merchant  of  Now 
York  city  in  the  seventeenth  century,  and  the  sketch  of  his  career,  though  that 
of  a  i)ri\ate  citizen,  is  instructive  by  its  portrayal  of  life  in  that  town  two  cen- 
turies ago.  The  descendants  of  the  nu'rchaut  who  are  particularly  noticinl  are 
Edward  Antill,  2d,  of  i'iscataway,  New  Jei'sey,  Lieut. -Col.  ICdward  Autill,  3d, 
of  tinel)ec  and  Montreal,  Dr.  Lewis  Antill  of  Perth  Aniboy,  and  Maj.  John  Antill 
of  New  York.  The  i)ami)hlet  is  pleasant  reading  as  a  narrative,  apart  from  its 
genealoirieal  details,  and  copious  references  substantiate  tlie  facts  presented.

J i  a  genealogical  regi.iter  giving  the  de&cent  of  JJeacou  Allen,  from  Rev.  Samnel 
Allen  of  Braiiitree,  1C32. 

The  Mine  genealogy  is  intended  to  be  merely  preliminary  to  a  more  complete 
history  ^vhlch  the  writer  hopes  to  issue.  It  follows  the  descendants  of  Thomas 
lliue,  who  settled  in  Milfurd  in  WAG,  to  tiie  ninth  generation,  taking  most 
thoroughly  those  branches  of  the  family  which  remained  in  Connecticut.  It  is 
well  arranged  and  has  a  good  index.  Barticularlv  to  be  commended  is  the  care- 
ful way  in  which  definite  references  to  authorities  are  given. 

This  pamphlet  is  more  valuable  than  most  of  its  kind,  because  it  contains  ac- 
counts of  the  first  two  generations  of  the  Bean  family,  supplemented  by 
a.bstracts  of  early  deeds  and  wills.  John  Bean,  the  immigrant,  is  said  to  be  of 
bcutch  descent,  and  to  have  settled  in  Exeter,  N.  II.,  about  KJGO. 

This  is  a  revlseil  edition  of  the  Farrington  memorial,  published  in  1880.  It 
Is  well  illustrated  with  half-tone  pictures  of  the  children  of  Deacon  John  Far- 
rington and  their  homes.  The  description  of  the  coat  of  arms  appearing  in  the 
former  edition  has  been  wisely  omitted,  as  the  right  of  this  Farrington  family 
to  claim  It  has  not  yet  been  e.stablislied. 

This  little  pamphlet,  in  substantial  and  very  attractive  form,  presents  evi- 
dences of  the  revolutionary  records  of  Captain  Rudolph  Neff,  Ensign  Aaron 
beout,  and  Major  Thomas  Smyth,  Jr.  It  forms  u  valuable  bui)plement  to  the 
Niit-iNeir  History. 

This  is  in  the  form  of  two  charts,  enclosed  in  a  neat  cloth  binding.  Chart  A 
gives  the  lir.-.t  four  generations  of  the  descendants  of  Ilobert  Ware,  compiled 
Irom  The  Descendants  of  Uobert  AVare  of  Dedlnini,  by  Miss  Emma  F.  Ware. 
Chart  B  gives  live  more  generations  in  the  lino  of  Elisha  Ware.  In  a  separate 
list  are  given  dates  of  births  and  deaths.  The  volume  is  embellished  by  illus- 
trations of  the  Elisha  Ware  homestead,  a  rei)rotluction  of  a  ih'inX  by  Elisha 
Ware  to  his  son-in-law,  Josiah  Ware,  and  facsimiles  of  Ware  signatures.  It 
also  has  an  interesting  map  of  a  part  of  the  Ulcl  North  Parish  of  Wrentham, 
Willi  sites  of  Ware  homes  marked.  It  is  arranged  in  a  unique  attractive  form, 
and  is  more  easily  preserved  tiian  many  charts.' 

The  two  pamphlets  before  us,  intended  to  be  the  beginnings  of  a  series  of 
similar  pamphlets,  have  laitl  a  good  foundation  for  a  satisfactory  Beckwith 
genealogy.  The  llrst  number  gives  some  of  the  tlescendants  of  Matthew  Beck- 
with (Hartford,  Conn.,  1015),  togetiier  witli  accounts  of  allied  families.  The 
second  number  Is  su])plemenLary,  discussing  doubtful  j)oints  and  giving  lines 
omitted  in  the  llrst.  The  conservative  attitude  atlopted  towaril  traditional  and 
unj)roved  pedigree  or  incident  is  worthy  of  hearty  commendation.  The  matter 
in  each  number  is  made  accessible  by  a  good  index. 

lu  pamplilet  form,  adorned  with  photogravures  of  William  Bedlow  Crosby 
and  of  Harriet  Ashton  Clarkson,  his  wife,  with  whose  ancestry  and  desccmdants 
It  deals,  this  reprint  from  tiie  New  York  Genealogical  and  Biographical  Record 
for  October,  lbSJ8,  January,  April  and  July,  Iti'M,  is  well  worthy  of  being 
perused  and  preserved. 

These  suggestive  sketches  of  the  families  of  Bennett,  Beers  and  Bentley  are 
full  of  interesting  data  which  Invite  further  research.     The  Bennett  line  begins

with  Edward  Bennett,  "who  settled  in  Weymouth  about  1736;  the  Bentley  line 
with  WilHain  Bentley,  who  was  in  Kingstown,  R.  I.,  before  167i) ;  tlie  Beers 
line  Avith  Jaines  Beers,  wliose  son  Antiioiiy  settled  at  VVatertown  in  164D. 

A  c(jllecliou  of  ^enealogieal  data  of  portions  of  tliri'e  families  from  which 
the  compiler  received  her  name.  The  Winston  line  is  most  complute,  tracing 
back  to  John  Winston,  who  settled  in  New  Haven  about  1G47.  Sume  of  the 
descendants  of  Jacob  Bartholomew  (b.  17;i7,  d.  1805,  Bristol,  Ct.).  are  given, 
and  a  few  of  tlie  descendants  of  Theoplulns  Botsford  (I).  1758,  d.  1841). 

At  its  second  reunion  in  181)8  the  Cox  family  muslcred  one  luHuh'eil  and  thirty- 
eight  mendjers.  That  tlio  interest  in  tlie  association  is  well  sustained  is  shown 
by  the  issue  of  the  two  |)amphlets  now  before  us,  on  the  early  Cox  families  of 
New  England.  They  continue  the  genealogy  begun  in  tlie  pamphlet  issued  in 
1S'J8,  and  discuss  maiidy  the  early  Coxes  in  Maine.  For  a  search  in  England 
for  the  ancestry  of  William  Cox  of  Beraaquid  lifty  dollars  have  already  been 
contributed  l)y  mend)ers  of  the  family. 

An  account  of  some  of  the  descendants  of  Nathaniel  Merrill  of  Newbury, 
through  his  son  John  Merrill  of  Hartford,  Connecticut,  is  accompanied  by  two 
charts.  It  is  well  arranged  and  printed  on  good  paper.  We  may  hope  for 
more  comi)lete  results  of  the  author's  further  investigations. 

Tlie  rei)orts  of  the  reuinons  in  181)3  and  in  18'JG  of  tlie  Poor-Poore  family  give 
evidence  of  a  sustained  interest  in  the  asisociatlon  and  in  the  purpose  to  have  as 
comitlete  a  genealogy  of  the  descendants  of  immigrants  Samuel  and  Daniel  as 
has  already  bei'ii  made  of  John  Poor. 

A  reprint  with  some  additiuns  from  the  Snow  genealogy  in  the  Begister 
gives  the  descendants  for  three  generations  of  Nicholas  Snow,  who  came  In  the 
Ann  in  l(j2:5,  and  settled  In  Eastham  in  1(!45. 

This  reprint  from  the  Ukoisj-kh  for  July,  1899,  is  a  careful  treatise,  the  scope 
of  which  is  sulliciently  shown  by  the  title. 

The  specimen  of  the  Register  I'lan  is  accompanied  by  a  description  of  the 
plan  used  in  arranging  genealogies  for  publication  in  the  Ricgistf.k.  The  plan 
was  devised  in  18G1)  by  Col.  Albert  H.  Hoyt,  tlien  editor  of  the  RiiGisriiiJ.  It 
has  i)een  in  use  thirty  years,  ami  has  been  approved  by  the  best  genealogists. 
It  has  beiiu  descrilnul  in  the  RiaJisTK.U  for  January,  1870,  in  connection  with  tiie 
Sherman  fandly;  in  July,  188;}  (Dean  fanuly),  in  July,  189G  (Perkins  family), 
and  again  in  October,  189'J,  with  the  Stone  family  as  an  example.  This  last  is 
now  reprinted  in  pamphlet  form. 

Tliis  |)e(ligree,  giving  one  line  of  descendants  of  Robert  Barker  of  Plymouth 
and  Marshlleld,  is  reprinted  from  the  Rixhstku  for  ()ctol)er,  1899.  The  long 
list  of  autliorities  cited  seems  to  indicate  that  no  pains  have  been  spared  to 
nnike  the  pedigree  complete  and  accurate. 

Tlie  fifth  annual  report  of  the  directors  of  this  association  states  that  in  pos- 
session of  the  director  who  has  it  in  charge  are  more  than  three  thousand 
names  Iracetl  to  their  ancestors — William  Hills,  immigrant  of  1G32,  Joseph 
Hills,  Imnduruut  of  1G38,  and  tlie  sons  of  Jolm  Hills,  Avho  came  from  Asliford- 
iii-Old  to  lUtslou  ill  New  England,  1794-180G.  The  report  contains  an  Interest- 
ing discussion  of  the  early  generations  of  the  Joseph  Hills  Hue. 

An  account  of  .John  Fuller  and  his  descendants  to  the  third  generation, 
gathereil  mainly  from  the  town  and  church  records  of  Ipswich  and  the  pro- 
bate records  of  Essex  County,  appeared  In  the  Rkgistku  for  July,  1899.  It  is 
here  reprinted  lu  pamplilet  f(jrm. 

The  ancestry  of  Hon.  Bulkeley  Edwards  is  here  traced  to  David  Edwards, 
who  married  in  1700  Mary  Churchill  of  Wetherstleld,  Conn.  A  brief  synopsis 
of  his  ancestry  on  the  maternal  Bulkeley  line  is  given,  running  back  to  Robert 
BulUeley,  1199. 

This  interesting  little  memorial  traces  the  descendants  of  Benjamin  (born 
about  1657  in  Salem),  youngest  son  of  Robert  Fuller  of  Salem,  1G36,  through 
the  fourth  generation,  and  In  some  lines  as  far  as  the  eighth  generatum.  It  has 
a  comjilete  Index  of  the  Fuller  and  otiier  names.  In  the  case  of  the  Fuller 
names  the  year  of  birth  is  given  in  the  index.  The  author  apparently  intends 
to  issue  later  accounts  of  the  descendants  of  the  other  sons  of  Robert  Fuller, 
namely,  Jonathan,  John  and  Samuel. 

An  Interesting  chart,  giving  six  generations  of  descendants  of  John  Barn- 
well, who  came  to  Carolina  from  Dublin  in  1701.  It  is  Avell  arranged  and  well 
printed.     The  addition  of  more  dehnite  dates  would  greatly  Increase  its  value.

The  Chamberlain  Association  was  organized  in  1897.  It  has  Issued  in  these 
two  piiniphlcts  reports  of  all  Its  meetings,  ineUuling  tlie  second  annual  one  lield 
in  August,  lH'.)i).     The  membership  now  numbers  nearly  one  hundred  and  llfty. 

An  iKcount  of  some  of  tlio  noted  descen(hints  of  Hon.  Tliouuis  Cochran,  wlio 
witli  his  faLlier  Josepli  and  broLliers  .lames  and  William  came  from  the  north 
of  Ireland  about  17(!1,  and  settled  in  Halifax,  Nova  Scotia.  The  facts  are  said 
to  be  derived  chielly  from  parisli  registers,  biographical  dictionaries,  IJritish 
Army  Lists  and  tombstones.     It  is  written  in  a  precise  and  entertaining  style. 

While  tradition  is  calkd  upon  to  furnisli  more  than  would  be  desired  for  an 
accurate  history,  yet  many  valuable  facts  are  given  in  this  account  of  the  Saw- 
yer family.  It  deals  mainly  with  the  descendants  of  Thomas  Sawyer,  who 
settleii  in  Lancaster  in  1G13.     Tlie  lack  of  an  index  is  to  be  regretted. 

Six  geneiations  of  the  descendants  of  Tliomas  Curtis  are  given  in  this  little 
cliart.     It  is  well  arranged  and  printed  on  good  paper.

DEATHS. 


Capt.  Samuel  Worthington  Dewey  died 
in  Philadelphia,  June  9,  1899.  His 
special  distinction  is  the  during  feat 
perfoimed  by  him  in  early  iiianliood, 
viz.,  the  decapitation  of  the  Andrew 
Jackson  figurehead  of  the  Constitution, 
in  18H.  lie  was  the  son  of  Capt  Sam- 
uel Madan  Dewey,  of  tlie  3d  U.  S. 
Artillery,  commanding  officer  at  Fort 
'NVarren  in  tlie  war  of  1812,  and  was 
born  at  Fubnouth,  Mass.,  Feb.  4,  1807, 
but  came  when  he  was  tliree  years  old, 
Mitli  his  parents,  to  Boston,  which  be- 
came his  home.  At  thirteen  lie  went 
to  scH,  and  had  commanded  several  ves- 
sels by  tlie  time  he  reiiclied  twenty-eight, 
his  age  when  he  performed  the  famous 
exploit  fissociatetl  with  his  name.  The 
eoinmaiulrtnt  of  the  Chailestown  Navy 
Yartl,  a  siipi)ovter  of  Anibew  Jackson, 
had  substituted  for  the  allegorical  tig- 
urehcad  of  the  reconsinieted  frigate 
C(>nstitutit)n  a  statue  of  the  President. 
I  apt.  Dewey,  an  iirdent  Wliig,  felt  in 
the  I'ulli'st  nuasnre  the  iiiilignation  of 
his  fellow  paiti.sans,  and  resolvi'd  to 
avenge  tin;  inMull.  (Jhoosing  a  stormy 
niglit,  lie  set  off  in  a  boat  alone,  and 
reaching  tlie  ship  undiscovered,  sawed 
off  the  head  of  the  image  after  three 
hours'  labor,  and  brought  it  with  him 
asliore. 

Capt.  Dewey  never  again  went  to  sea. 
For  twelve  years  he  was  a  broker  in 
New  York,  and  in  184.},  having  amass- 
ed a  modciate  fortune,  he  purchased 
land  in  North  Carolina  and  devoted  his 
attention  to  mineralogy.  Jlis  last  years 
■were  spent  in  Philadelphia.  His  visits 
to  his  boyhood's  home,  however,  were 


regular,  and  during  one  of  them,  in  the 
year  1873,  he  met  by  appointment  at 
the  rooms  of  the  New-England  Histo- 
ric Genealogical  Society,  18  Somerset 
St,  Mr.  Samuel  Adams  Drake,  the 
author  of  "  Historic  Fields  and  Man- 
sions of  Middlesex."  Here  Capt.  Dew- 
ey related  to  Mr.  Drake,  in  the  presence 
of  John  \\'ar<l  Dean,  the  libraiian  of 
that  society,  an  account  of  his  exploit. 
Mr.  Drake  preserves  a  record  of  the 
interview,  in  his  "  Historic  Fields  and 
Mansions  of  Middlesex,"  pages  41  to  44. 
Capt.  Dewey  was  proud  of  his  re- 
lation.ship  to  Admiral  Dewey.  The 
Captain's  grandfather  was  brother  to 
the  Admiral's  gieat-grandfatlier.  Their 
common  ancestor  was  Simeon  Dewey, 
of  Lebanon,  Conn.,  born  May  1,  1718. 
Tlie  descent  of  the  Admiral  is:  Simeon, 
William,  Simeon,  Julius  Yenians, 
George.  The  tJaptain's  descent  is  :  Si- 
meon. Benoni,  Samuel  Madan,  Samuel 
Wortliington.  Capt.  Dewey  was  never 
married. —  liij   Frederic  IVtlturd  I'arko, 

John  Euwauu  (jahdnku,  Esq.,  of  E.xeter, 
N.  II.,  died  in  that  town,  .Monday  morn- 
ing, August  21,  189i),  aged  04.  He  was 
the  head  of  the  oldest  mercantile  house 
in  Exeter,  and  his  length  of  service  as 
a  business  man  there  was  one  of  the 
longest.  He  was  born  at  Exeter,  Janu- 
ary 13,  ISii-'),  and  was  graduated  at 
Harvard  C(dlege  in  18-)G.  The  death 
of  his  fatluT  in  18.J7  ri'ealled  him  from 
Chicago,  wlilther  he  had  gone  willi  the 
intenti(m  of  tliere  beginning  a  mercan- 
tile career,  to  Exeter,  wlicre,  as  the  only 
surviving  son,  he  inherited  the  business

Deaths. 


[Jan. 


esiablished  by  his  great  grandfather  in 
1770,  with  which  the  great  graiulsou 
was  cuiiiiccted  more  tluin  forty-two 
years, 

Mr.  Oardner  served  eight  terms  as 
treasurer  of  his  native  town,  and  was 
moderator  from  18^3  till  the  time  of  his 
death,  lie  was  a])pointed  by  Governor 
Biisiel  a  member  of  tlie  police  com- 
mission in  1895  for  four  years,  and  re- 
appointed by  Governor  lloUins  for  the 
full  term  of  six  years. 

Of  semi-public  trusts  many  had  been 
accepted  by  him.  He  was  a  trustee  of 
llobmson  Seminary  for  hix  years,  and 
for  nineteen  years  its  treasurer,  as  also 
treasurer  of  the  Academy  for  six  years  ; 
he  was  besides  director  of  the  National 
Granite  State  Bank,  and  likewise  of  the 
Exeter  Banking  Company.  Every  office 
of  the  First  parish  has  been  tilled  by 
him. 

Mr.  Gardner  married,  January  13, 
1875,  Miss  Mirian  S.  Nightingale,  of 
Boston,  wiro  survives  him,  together 
with  three  sons. 

Unali'eeted,  genial,  liberal,  of  well- 
trained  and  many-sided  abdities,  he 
has  left  vacant  a 'ph^ce  which  Exeter 
with  difficulty  will  fill.— &'e  Exeter  News- 
Letttr,  Auj.  25,  1899. 

Mrs.  Elvira  Aumenius  (Wright)  Wil- 
liams, widow  of  Hinckley  Williams  of 
Goshen,  Mass.,  died  Nov.  3,  1899,  while 
on  a  visit  to  her  son-in-law,  Lucius  M. 
Boltwood,  in  Grand  llapids.  Mich.  She 
was  born  in  Pownal,  Vt.,  July  19,  1808, 
the  eleventh,  youngest,  and  last  surviv- 
ing cliild  of  Hon.  Solomon  and  Eunice 
(Jewett)  Wright  of  that  town.  Her 
lather,  Solomon  Wright,  was  a  very 
prominent  man  in  his  county  and  state, 
representing  it  in  the  legislature  eight 
years,  was  judge  of  the  county  court 
three  years,  and  judge  of  the  probate 
court.  Of  Judge  Wright,  Gov.  Hiland 
Hall  of  Bennington,  an  intimate  friend, 
says  in  the  Vermont  Ilislorieal  Maijaziw, 
"  lie  was  gifted  with  a  sound  judgment 
and  hue  natural  abilities.  He  often 
appealed  as  an  advocate  before  referees 
ami  »\uUtors,  and  in  justices'  courts, 
disi)laying  great  skill  l)olh  in  manage- 
ment "and  argument,  anil  sometimes 
rising  t(j  a  surpassing  eloiiueuce."  Slie 
came  tluongli  a  long  line  of  Northamp- 
ton ai\cestors.  Her  descent  from  Dea. 
Samuel  Wriglit  runs  through  Samuel 
Jr.,  Jost'ph  and  Sanuiel.  In  the  mater- 
nal line  she  was  descended  from  the 
Lymans,  Sheldons,  Kings,  and  Bolt- 
wooils,  all  prominent  fanulies  in  llamp- 
ehire  county.  She  was  a  second  cousin 
of  the  illustrious  (Jov.  Silart  Wright  of 


New  York,  who  was  born  in  Amherst, 
Mass.,  May  24.  1795.  Samuel  Wright, 
grandfather  of  Governor  Wright,  and 
his  brother  Charles,  grandfather  of  Mrs. 
Williams,  about  1742,  settled  on  con- 
tiguous farms  about  four  miles  north 
of  tlie  centre  of  Amherst.  There  Samuel 
continued  to  reside  until  his  death, 
while  Charles,  about  1762,  removed  to 
Pownal,  Vt.,  where  he  died  Dec.  23, 
1793,  at  the  age  of  74  years.  His  wife 
was  Ruth,  eldest  daughter  of  Solomoa 
and  Mary  (Pantry,  born  Norton)  Bolt- 
wood,  to  whom  he  was  married  by  llev. 
David  Parsons  on  the  19th  of  October, 
1742. 

The  early  education  of  Mrs.  Williams 
was  obtained  at  the  schools  of  Pownal 
and  at  the  academy  in  Bennington,  Vt., 
and  she  was  for  a  short  time  a  teacher 
in  her  native  town.  January  9,  1833, 
she  married  Hinckley,  son  of  John  and 
Mercy  (Weeks)  Williams  of  Goshen, 
and  came  with  him  to  the  house  in 
which  lie  was  born,  where,  with  occa- 
sional short  absences,  they  spent  the 
fifty- live  years  of  their  loving,  trusting, 
and  happy  married  life.  There  are  a 
few  now  living  who  recall  the  charming 
personality  ot  this  be:iutiful  young  bride 
when  she  came  to  Goshen.  She  entered 
at  once  into  the  business  life  of  lier 
husband,  and  was  his  able  assistant 
ill  the  store  and  post  office,  so  that  she 
was  well  known  to  all  the  people  in 
Goshen  and  the  surrounding  towns, 
and  was  a  favorite  with  them.  Her  own 
mind  being  of  a  superior  cast,  she  not 
only  embraced  every  opportunity  to 
improve  herself  by  reading,  but  endea- 
vored to  arouse  a  like  enthusiasm  in 
others,  and  counted  nothing  too  great  a 
sacritice  that  her  own  children  and 
others  mi^ht  receive  a  good  education. 
She  deliglited  in  making  her  home 
beautiful  and  attractive,  a  home  of  hospi- 
tality and  kindness.  Here  her  industry, 
frugality  and  good  judgment  were  pro- 
verbial, and  she  was  a  pattern  in  all 
womanly  and  housewifely  virtues. 

Her  presence  was  reserved  and  retir- 
ing, yet  commanding,  and  her  will  was 
law  to  those  wllo  loved  her.  The  motto, 
'•  Great  is  the  gift  of  silence,"  was  hers, 
therefore  she  was  "swift  to  liear,  slow 
to  speak,  slow  to  wrath,"  an<l  she  is  not 
known  to  have  ever  had  an  enemy. 

Her  last  days,  bpent  with  her  entire 
family  in  the  home  of  her  devoted  and 
'  niinistering  children,  grandchiUlren  and 
great-grandchildren,  were  days  of  hap- 
piness and  rest.  The  grace  of  her  pre- 
sence was  a  pleasure  to  everyone  whom 
slie  met,  and  the  liouse  she  has  left 
seems,  by  her  loss,  deprived  of  its  crown 
of  glory.

d  rp  and  lasting  interest,  taking,  as  he  did,  an  honest  pride  in  the 
i.u't  that  his  ancestor,  I'Ahvard  Howell,  lett  Marsh  (libl)on,  liuekiiig- 
hamshlre,  lOngland,  came  to  America  in  IGoU,  and  after  obtaining 
a  grant  of  six  hundred  acres  near  Lynn,  INlass.,  became  the  leader 
of  those  sturdy  colonists  who  made  the  first  English  settlement  in

That  Edward  Howell  must  have  been  a  man  of  good  family  in  the 
land  of  his  birth,  would  a[)pear  from  the  fact  that  we  find  record  of 
his  using  arms  to  which  he  was  entitled,  which  same  armorial  blazon 
can  yet  be  seen  carven  upon  the  old  gravestone  in  the  Southampton 
cemetery,  erected  to  the  memory  of  his  son.  Major  John  Howell, 
who  died  in  lGL)(j,  as  well  as  upon  many  other  Howell  gravestones 
in  the  same  cemetery.  This  device,  the  arms  of  the  Howell  branch

]\Ir.  Howell  was  the  eldest  son  of  Charles  Howell,  born  Sept.  9, 
1801,  died  Dec.  8,  1888,  and  Mary  Rogers  (daughter  of  Capt. 
Matthew  and  liuth  (Sayre)  Rogers),  born  Aug.  2G,  1806,  died 
Aug.  1,  1867.  The  Rogers,  Sayre  and  Howell  families  were  re- 
presentative ones  of  Suflblk  County  then,  as  they  are  today,  and 
Charles  Howell  was  a  man  highly  respected  and  Avell  known  in 
Southampton. 

Charles  was  the  son  of  Capt.  Oliver  Howell  of  Southampton, 
Long  Island,  b.  1764,  d.  1805  (m.  \1\)-1  Mehetable,  dau.  of 
Stephen  Rogers),  captain  N.  Y.  militia;  son  of  Zebulon  of  South- 
ampton, b.  1721,  d.  1811  (m.  Joanna,  dau.  of  John  and  Joanna 
Howell)  ;  son  of  Zebulon  of  Soutliampton,  b.  1694,  d.  1761  (m.

1651,  d.  1734  (m.  Lydia  Stocking  of  Connecticut)  ;  son  of  Edward 
of  Southampton,  b.  in  England  in  1626,  d.  1699  (m.  1st.  Mary, 
dau.  of  Rev.  Robert  Fordham  ;  2d,  Mary,  dau.  of  Richard  Bryan 
of  Milford)  ;  son  of  Edward  of  Marsh  Gibbon,  Buckinghamshire, 
England,  bapt.  22  July,  1584,  d.  1655,  came  to  America  1639 
(m.  Frances ,  b. d.  July  2,  1630)  ;  son  of  Henry  of  Eng- 
land, who  died  there  July  7,  1586  ;  son  of  William  Howell  of  We- 
don.  County  of  Bucks,  England,  who  died  1557  (m.  Anne  Hamp- 
ton). 

Mr.  Howell  commenced  his  education  in  the  district  school,  en- 
tering next  the  Academy  at  Soutl»am})lon.  Ilti  early  in  life  mani- 
fested a  strong  love  for  books,  and  after  due  preparation  at  the 
Academy  entered  tlie  Sophomore  class  of  Yale  College,  winch  was 
then  under  the  presidency  of  Theodore  1).  AV'oolsey,  D.D.,  assisted 
by  Professors  Silliman,  Olmsted  and  Hadlcy.  He  entered  college 
in  1851  at  the  age  of  eighteen,  graduating  in  1854.  After  gradu- 
ation he  spent  several  years  in  teaching  in  academies,  continuing  in 
private,  however,  those  studies  most  congenial  to  him,  especially  the 
sciences  and  languages.  Having  in  the  s[)riiig  of  1861  decided  to  fit 
himselfibr  the  Christian  ministry,  ^Ir.  Howell  entered  in  the  month  of 
September  of  that  year  the  Rrinceton  Theological  Seminary,  from 
which  he  graduated,  and  innnediately  devoted  himself  to  ministerial 
work  as  stated  supply  of  the  Presbyterian  Church  at  Moscow,  Living-

ston  Co. ,  N.  Y.  About  this  time  an  event  occurreil  wlueh  turned  the 
whole  course  of  his  future  career  and  caused  him  to  finally  choose  a 
literary  life.  As  we  have  said  before,  anything;  pertaining  to  South- 
ampton or  Suffolk  County  and  its  interests  gained  the  enthusiastic 
attention  of  Mr.  Howell.  While  engaged  in  study  and  later,  in  the 
midst  of  his  ministerial  duties,  yet  he  was  a  constant  contributor  to 
the  newspapers  and  periodicals  of  Long  Island,  so  that  when,  in 
18G5,  the  225th  anniversary  of  the  settlement  of  Southampton  was 
to  be'  celebrated,  it  was  but  a  natural  thing  for  Southampton  to 
select  Mr.  Howell  to  deliver  the  historical  address,  which  was  so 
well  received  that  in  1«6G  it  was  printed  under  the  title  of  "Tiie 
Early  History  of  Southampton,  Long  Island,  with  Genealogies," 
N.  Y.,  18GG.  A  second  edition  of  this  work  was  demanded  in  1887, 
and  the  books  were  all  spoken  for  before  the  publishers  could  deliver 
them.  AVhcn  this  work  was  commenced  by  the  author,  no  history 
of  the  ancient  town  had  ever  been  written  except  a  brief  mention  in 
Thompson's  "Long  Island,"  and  there  existed  nothing  concerning 
the  past  except  a  roll  of  loose  leaves,  once  a  book,  wliich  no  town 
clerk  for  generations  had  been  able  to  read,  and  which  after  a  long 
period  of  study  and  careful  research  was  deciphered  and  made  plain 
by  Mr.  Howell.  He  also  published  about  this  time  a  "Genealogy 
of  the  Parsons  Fanuly." 

In  18G5  the  fame  of  Mr.  Howell  as  a  student  and  a  scholar  was 
known  in  the  West,  and  he  was  offered  the  presidency  of  a  college 
in  Iowa,  but  his  engagements  compelled  him  to  decline.  He  taught 
lit  Tottstown,  l*a.,  in  18(;7  ;  was  princii)al  of  boys'  school  at  South- 
ampton in  18G'J,  and. at  Lakeville,  Ct.,  in  1870  and  1871.  In 
1872,  at  the  suggestion  of  Dr.  S.  B.  Woolworth,  he  was  asked,  on 
account  of  his  s^viU  and  linguistic  abilities,  to  accept  the  position 
of  Assistant  Librariian  of  the  New  York  State  Library  at  Albany. 
During  the  illness  and  upon  the  death  of  Dr.  Homes,  the  duties  of 
acting^librarian,  as  well  as  assistant,  fell  to  Mr.  Howell,  and  he 
madc^himself  invaluable.  His  peculiar  abilities  here  found  full  scope 
for  action,  possessing  as  he  did  natural  talent  in  cataloguing  and 
arrangement,  a  most  intimate  knowledge  of  books  in  general,  while 
his  suggestions  with  regard  to  the  purchase  of  suitable  and  de- 
sirable volumes  were  of  great  value  in  developing  the  resources  of 
the  immense  collection  of  books  and  MSS.  owned  by  the  State. 
Some  years  after,  his  worth  was  recognized  in  this  connection  by

his  anpolntiDent  as  State  Archivist,  which  position  he  filled  until 
the  time  of  his  death;  his  services  to  the  State  occupy  a  space  ot 
over  twenty-seven  years.  He  was  an  expert  in  translating  and  de- 
cipherino-  curious  and  indistinct  sentences  and  expressions  in  all  lan- 
guages, "and  his  decisions  were  accepted  by  the  highest  authorities 
on  such  matters  without  question. 

It  was  while  in  the  performance  of  his  duties  here  that  he  pub- 
lished an  elaborate  "History  of  Albany  and  Schenectady  Counties," 
which  was  the  result  of  years  of  hard  labor,  and  which  is  today  a 
lasting  monument  to  his  memory. 

Mr  Howell  was  for  over  fifteen  years  Secretary  of  the  Albany  In- 
stitute, founded  in  17iKi,  and  during  his  long  and  faithful  service  to 
tliis  or..«anization  delivered  many  able  addresses  before  that  learned 
body,  which  are  published  in  their  "  Transactions,"  and  many  of 
which  attracted  the  attention  of  leading  newspapers  and  periodicals 
throughout  the  State.  Some  of  the  more  notable  of  these  papers 
were  ^"Heraldry  in  England  and  America,"  "Who  Opened  the 
Port  of  Japan?  A  Lost  Chapter  of  History  Recovered,"  "  Crypto- 
oruphy,  a  Relic  of  the  Civil  War,"  "  Shakespeare  or  Bacon?  "  "The 
Onen  Polar  Sea,"  "  Evidence  of  the  French  Discoveries  m  New 
York  previous  to  the  Colonization  of  the  Dutch,"  "  Heraldry  in  the 
New  Capitol  at  Albany,"  "  The  Dark  Day  of  1883,"  "  Linguistic 
Discourses,"  "  African  Explorations,"  "  Pre-Columbian  Discoveries 
of  America  by  the  Welsh,"  "  The  Original  Meaning  of  English  and 
Dutch  Surnames  of  New  York  State  Families,"  "  Epitome  of  Albany 
History,"  and  many  others. 

Mr.  Howell  assisted  in  organizing  and  founding  as  a  charter  mem- 
ber the  "Order  of  Founders  and  Patriots  of  America,"  and  recog- 
ni/in..-  his  prominence  as  an  authority  on  the  History  of  America 
his  compatriots  elected  him  to  be  their  Historian-General,  which 
position  he  held  until  he  died.  Aside  from  his  natural  interest  m 
the  principles  for  which  this  Order  stood,  he  was  proud  also  to  be 
the  representative  in  it  of  his  colonial  ancestor,  Edward  Howell, 
and  his  Revolutionary  sires,  Stephen  Rogers  and  Captain  Abraham 
Sayre.  A  few  years  belore  his  death  he  delivered  an  address  before 
the  N  Y.  Society,  which  attracted  such  wide  attention  over  the 
country  that  it  was  ordered  published  and  distributed  to  members 
and  to  libraries  over  the  land.  The  subject  of  this^address  was  :. 
"  L)ate  of  the  Settlement  of  the  Colony  of  New  York."

The  University  of  Yale,  in  1885,  eonforred  upon  Mr.  IIowcll 
the  degree  of  ]\I.A.  While  many  applied  to  him  the  title  of  "Rev- 
erend," he  seldom  made  use  of  it,  nor  of  his  other  honorary  appel- 
lation, and  only  a  day  or  two  previous  to  his  deatii,  upon  being 
asked  by  a  stranger  where  he  obtained  his  degrees,  he  answered 
the  question  by  a  comment  made  to  Ids  wife,  in  the  quiet  of  his 
home,  saying :  "  I  think  when  an  entire  city  gives  me  a  title  it  is 
as  great  an  iionor  to  bear  it  as  when  conferred  by  a  college." 

During  the  last  years  of  his  life  he  gave  to  the  world  a  clever 
work  of  fiction,  entitled  "  Noah's  Log  Book,"  which  at  once  de- 
manded a  second  edition,  soon  also  exhausted.  At  the  time  of  his 
death  he  had  ready  for  the  press  a  delightful  book  for  children, 
which  he  regarded  as  his  best  work.  Among  his  poetical  writings, 
"Hail  to  the  Flag"  received  national  recognition. 

Besides  the  Ncw-Kngland  Historic  (Genealogical  Society  and  the 
two  organizations  already  mentioned  above  in  which  he  was  an 
honored  officer,  Mr.  Howell  Avas  a  member  of  the  "  Troy  Scientific 
Association,"  "  The  New  York  Historical  Society,"  "  New  York 
Genealogical  and  Biographical  Society,"  "  Historical  Society  of 
Peimsylvania,"  "Historical  Society  of  Wisconsin,"  "The  Colonial 
Soiaety  of  Southam[)ton  Town  "  (which  is  to  place  a  memorial 
tablet,  perpetuating  his  services,  in  some  public  [)lace  in  Southamp- 
ton), and  many  others. 

In  j\Iarch,  1868,  Mr.  Howell  was  married  to  Miss  Mary  Cath- 
erine Seymour,  daughter  of  Norman  and  Frances  Hale  (Metcalf) 
Seymour  of  Mount  Morris,  Livingston  County,  N.Y.  IMrs.  Howell, 
as  wt.'ll  as  her  husl)and,  is  well  known  in  the  literary  and  social 
world,  and  has  be(>n  especially  active  in  [)rosecuting  the  cause  of 
woman  sutfrage.  One  sou,  Seymour,  died  while  a  student  at  Har- 
vard University  in  March  1801. 

IMr.  Howell's  last  illness  was  very  brief,  of  scarcely  forty-eight 
hours'  duration.  The  cause  of  death  was  ty[)hoid-pneumonia,  but 
he  passed  away  without  experiencing  pain  or  regret,  and  in  the  hope 
of  a  glorious  immortality. 

Peculiarly  modest  and  retiring  of  disposition,  it  is  hard  to  find 
any  complete  record  of  his  services  to  the  v/orld  from  any  of  his 
books  or  papers.  He  disliked  extremely  the  fulsome  praise  of  his 
achievements  by  a  public  which  did  not  always  understand  his  work 
and   methods.     As    one    of  his  dear  friends  said  over  his  lifeless

form  :  "  ITcrc  was  a  man  who  spent  all  his  life  as  a  lover  of  books 
and  among  them.  He  knew  their  very  sonls,  not  alone  their  out- 
ward forms.  AVhat  higher  mission  can  come  to  any  human  being 
than  to  stand  before  the  incoming  generations  and  pass  to  them  the 
things  that  are  great?  We  stand  before  what  is  left  of  one  who 
loved  beauty.  He  sought  in  whatever  form  he  might  to  express  the 
beauty  of  God's  work.  He  was  so  modest  that  we  knew  not  his 
varied  and  many  attainments." 

For  years  j\lr.  Howell  was  an  intellectual  and  moral  force  in  the 
life  of  Albany.  He  gave  an  impulse  to  culture,  to  Christian  good- 
ness and  to  a  spiritual  faith,  which  will  long  survive  him.  The 
world  takes  the  fragrance  of  his  personality  into  its  memory  and  its 
syiupathy. 


HUNNEWELL. 

;        By  James  Frothinguam  IIunnewell,  A.M.,  of  Charlestown,  Mass. 

The  name  Hunnewell,  variously  spelled  or  misspelled  during  some 
centuries  past,  is  unconunon  in  England,  and  yet  it  appeared  there 
long  ago  in  lully  two  dozen  places,  nearly  all  in  the  southern  coun- 
ties. 

For  fjenerations  nothinsi:  about  it  there  seems  to  have  been  known, 
at  least  |)ublicly,  in  America,  until  the  writer's  research,  a  long  one, 
tiiat,  besidt's  an  interest  of  its  own,  may  Ix;  a  help  in  showing  per- 
sons similarly  occu[)ied  how  the  long  unknown  can  be  found,  lor  the 
Mriter  .started  without  a  clue.  !>}'  this  reticarch  he  has  gathered 
enough  to  make  a  vi)lume,  but  he  will  not  now  attempt  to  present 
the  material.  He  will  only  mention  some  bearers  of  the  name,  and 
tell  the  story  of  his  own  innnediate  family — which  has  never  yet 
been  fully  told,  and  incorrectly  in  the  few  places  where  it  has  been 
attempteil. 

A  hunt  for  an  ancestor,  or  somebody  who  might  prove  to  be  one, 
can  be  very  pretty  sport  in  old  England.  Of  course  there  generally 
first  must  be  research,  usually  a  good  deal  of  it,  and  then  may  come 
travel,  that  is  more  delightful,  however  interesting  documents  may 
have  been.  The  writer  can  hardly  wish  any  one  a  more  charming 
excursion  than  his  when  he  first  saw  his  family  name  on  an  old 
monument  in  the  old  home-land. 

A  neat  victoria  with  a  liveried  driver  and  a  good  horse,  a  sort 
of  conveyance  not  apt  to  be  found  by  a  traveller  in  minor  places  out 
of  England,  took  him  six  or  eight  miles  west  of  Exeter.     The  way

was  over  high  ridges,  down  deep  into  vales,  steep  for  that  country, 
or  anywhere  else,  and  then  higher  land  with  a  njagn.fieeiit  park  was 
reached.  Farther  on,  still  l.y  a  narroNV  lane-hke  road  peculiarly 
En<rlieh,  there  is  a  wide  and  inagnitleent  view-deep  uito  and  ar 
ove"'  a  -reat  vale  to  the  distant  heights  of  Dartmoor  crowned  by 
Heytor?  Nestled  on  the  swell  of  laud,  and  just  as  huglish  as  all 
else,  is  a  hamlet  with  little  old  thatched  houses  and  an  even  older 
church,  not  large  and  yet  not  small. 

It  is  Ashton  in  Devon,  a  place  that  through  its  long  litetime  has 
been  apart  from  the  world.  The  church  is  Perpcndicuar,  rough- 
cast, with  a  square  western  tower,  and  is,  also  i.i  the  old  Lnghsh 
way  surrounded  by  its  burial  ground.  Internally  there  are  hye 
bays,  a  couple  of  aisles,  a  barrel  vault,  and  most  notableof  all,  in 
front  of  the  altar,  an  open  carved  wooden  screen,  well  designed  and 
evidently  old,  having  along  its  base  thirty-two  panels,  in  eadi  ot 
which,  also  ohl,  is  a  curious  painting  of  a  saint.  1  he  storms  ot  the 
Ucforniation  do  not  seem  to  have  reached  this  peaccJul  spot.  1  er- 
hans  ten  feet  inside  the  porch  door  there  is  in  the  aisle  pavement  a 
crrey  stone,  some  five  by  three  feet  in  size.  On  the  upper  part  is 
bolted  a  smooth  brass  plate  bearing,  along  with  a  litt  e  ornament, 
an  inscription  in  black  letters,  all  clean  and  in  good  order  : 

-In   Death  is   Lyfe  |  Ukau  L>jcth  |  Willyam  IIonny  |  will  G  son 

OF   1   MaTIIKW  IIONIWILL   \   AND  lOANE  HIS  WYFE   |    DeCKSED  THE  I  01-    | 

November  Ano  |  Domini  |  l614." 

By  his  will,  where  he  is  spelled  PTonnywell  and  is  styled  gentle- 
man, he  directs  that  he  shall  "  be  buried  in  the  parish  church  of 
Ayshton  and  be  covered  with  a  faire  marble  stone  and  to  be  engraved 
in  brass.  The  sonne  of  the  said  Matthews  &  Joane.  lie  result 
of  his  direction  remains,  as  is  seen,  to  our  times.  His  wdl,  a  copy 
of  which  is  beside  the  writer,  shows  that  he  was  a  good  substantial 
man  with  relatives  and  friends  in  the  region  where  he  hved. 

JNInny  who  bore  his  name-spelled  in  most  of  the  ways  that 
could  be  invented-three  of  these  on  his  will  and  brass  plate— were 
scattered  throughout  Devon  in  the  sixteenth  and  seventeenth  cen- 
turies, most  of  them  quiet  persons  of  various  occupations,  including, 
as  was  apt  to  be  the  case  in  that  country,  some  who  were  husband- 
men or  were  sea-faring.  Many  of  them  were  of  moderate  means, 
but,  notably,  several  left  money  I'or  the  iioor  iu  their  iie.ghborhoods. 
The  writer  has  not  searched,  or  guessed,  back  to  Bosworth  iUeid, 
let  alone  Hastings;  nor  has  he  tried  to  develope  certain  spelling  on 
the  Koll  of  liattle  Abbey  ;  this  lovely  Devon  land  seems  good  enougli 
for  anyone  to  hail  from,  and  start  from.  .     -,-      i      i 

The  name,  as  already  remarked,  appears  elsewhere  in  England, 
yet  its  infrequency  is  in  a  degree  proved  by  the  London  Directory, 
where  for  years  it  was  not  to  be  ibund.  There  are,  however,  sev- 
eral entries  of  it  during  the  sixteenth  and  seventeenth  centuries  in 
the  records  of  St.  Margaret's,  Westminster,  and  in  the  eighteentli  it

142  IftinnewelL  [April, 

W!i8  in  a  frrcat  city  house.  Copies  of  all  references  to  it  in  these 
places,  known  to  exist,  are  a  part  of  the  writer's  collections  already 
ineiitioned.  One  portion  may  reach  the  eastern  counties,  and  is  as 
foHows  : 

"  INlary  daughter  of  ...  .  Honeywell  and  relict  of  ...  .  Hawkins 
married  as  licr  second  luiKbaiid  C'a|)tain  Richard  Hill  of  Yarmouth  co.  Nor- 
folk an  eminent  Seaman  in  the  Service  of  the  Duke  of  York  afterwards 
.lames  the  2nd. 

"  She  had  two  daughters  and  coheirs  viz  :  Christian  wife  of  Sir  John 
Leake  Kn''  Vice  Admiral  of  (}reat  BritisMi,  and  Elizabeth  wife  of  Captain 
Stephen  .Martin  Leake." 

These  entries,  while  interesting  as  showing  a  possible  diffusion 
of  the  name,  are  too  late  (latter  part  of  the  seventeenth  century.) 
to  lead  to  a  person  who  carried  it  to  New  b^ngland. 

After  making  note  it  seems  of  all  wdio  bore  the  name  in  old  Eng- 
land for  a  hundred  vears,  an  entry  was  found  that  appears  to  be  the 
link  between  the  old  and  the  new  lands. 

In  the  Register  of  the  Parish  of  St.  Andrew,  Phjmouth,  Devon, 
is  tlie  entry  : 

''  Ambuosk  Himniwell  and  Jane  Homes  were  married  on  the  first  day 
of  November,  H)59." 

This  entry  is  remarkable  as  the  only  one  of  an  Ambrose  in  the 
full  collection  just  mentioned,  and,  uidike  a  great  many  others,  he 
ajtpears  to  have  left  no  indication  of  children  or  of  will  in  England. 

While  it  is  (piite  ])r()l)able  that  the  above  was  not  a  "church  wed- 
ding," St.  Andrew's  Plymouth  is  an  interesting  place  to  associate 
with  a  parting  from  tlie  old  world,  b'ronting  an  oblong  s(juarc 
wlierc  the  civic  buildings  are,  it  presents  a  large  tower  and  grey 
stone  walls  with  granite  quoins  and  window  cases.  The  int(!rior, 
clear  fron\  end  to  end,  has  three  aisles  of  nearly  ecpial  height, 
ar<'adc:^  with  slender  pillars,  and  vaults  barrel-form  j)ancllcd.  Near- 
ly all  the  windows  have  colored  glass,  and  there  are  many  nn)nu- 
ments  along  the  walls.  The  prevailing  style  is  Perpendicular.  It  is 
a  church  worthy  of  an  ancient  and  renowned  port,  and  it  is  as  far 
as  well  can  be  very  English. 

Two  years  later  the  name  Amhrofse  is  found  in  New  England, 
then  and  there  also  aj)parently  unique.  There  cannot  be  two  unicpies  ; 
it  seems  that  they  must  be  one  person. 

"In  16(51,  Ambrose'  Hunnewell  from  whom  the  point  at  the  Fort 
takes  its  name,  resided  at  the  lower  end  of  Sagadahock."  (Me. 
Hist.  Soc.  II,  193.)  June  25,  1(362,  he  bought  land  on  the  Sada- 
dahock  river  (Indenture).  AI)out  1671,  he  was  living  on  islet 
called  Ilonniwclls  Point  (  De[)()sition) .  A  year  later  he  appears  to 
have  signed  a  petition  to  Massachusetts  (M.  II.  Soc,  V,  2-10),  and 
eJuly  2l',  1674,  to  have  been  a  grand  juror  at  a  court  at  Pemaquid 
(Do.,  2d  S.,  IV,  345),  also,  April  D,  1688,  a  selectman.

This  "  ITunnGwcH's  Point"  on  the  western  shore  of  the  mouth 
of  the  Kennchoc  river  in  Maine  appears  to  ha  the  land  first  associ- 
ated with  the  writer's  ancestors  in  America.  It  is  shown  on  the 
hirger  maps  of  the  State,  and  distinctly  on  the  cliart  of  the  United 
States  Coast  Survey  (No.  ^,  1858),  which  also  shows  "Ilunniwcll's 
Beach"  along  the  open  sea  in  the  neighborhood.  No.  2,  1858, 
shows  bearings,  and  No.  4,  18()1,  is  still  clearer  and  more  minute. 

The  site  is  ])romiiicntly  associated  with  the  very  early  history  of  New 
England.  Here  was  the  first  considerable  attempt  at  settlement, 
that  of  the  Pophani  (A^lony,  in  August,  UiO?  (described  iti  the  Memo- 
rial of  it,  137,  etc.).  It  was  "on  the  peninsular  .  .  called  by  the 
Indians  Sabino,  but  now  bearing  the  l^^nglish  name  of  IluuneweU's 
Point."  (Me.  Hist.  Soc,  I,  2SJ).  The  colony  continued  there 
about  a  year  (Do.,  V.,  330).  One  ship  with  colonists  sailed  from 
Bristol  (Memoriid,  140),  and  nuist  have  brought  West  of  I<]ngland 
])eo|tle,  some  ol'  whom  uuist  have  later  helped  to  spread  news  about 
the  iu"w  country.  Strni-hey  gives  farther  iiiformntion  (Mass.  Hist. 
Soc.  (\)ll's,  IV,  i.,  23!l-l()). 

This  Point  is  a  dozen  or  more  miles  south  of  Bath,  and  can  be 
reached  by  a  pleasant  steamboat  excursion.  It  presents  a  great 
ledge  of  [)ale  granite  I'ock  with  grass  and  abundant  shrubs  on  the 
sides.  A  long  curved  beach  extends  westward  ;  on  the  other  hand 
is  the  Kennebec.  T^'om  the  crest  of  the  rock,  site,  it  is  said  of  the 
earliest  fort,  there  is  a  arcat  view  all  around  south  over  the  sea. 
Northward  is  lower,  or  better,  land,  and,  on  a  low  ledge  projecting 
into  the  river.  Fort  Popham  with  two  stories  of  granite  casemates, 
chiefly  dating  from  the  time  of  the  Civil  War,  unfinished,  and  a 
monument  of  an  obsolete  and  expensive  style  of  work.  It  is  said 
to  be  the  third  fort  on  the  spot.  Altogetlier  the  scenery  and  view 
here  are  exceptionally  imposing. 

However  good  the  country  hereabouts  may  now  be,  it  was  in  the  lat- 
ter part  of  the  seventeenth  century  trying  enough.  Church  says  (II, 
5(1),  that  by  1()89,  "the  Kennebeek  and  Eastern  Indians  with  their 
confederates"  made  war  against  the  English  in  Maine,  New  Hamp- 
shire and  Massachusetts,  and  forces  were  sent  against  them,  includ- 
ing the  famous  captain  himself.  According  to  the  Massachusetts 
Archives  (107,  -12),  "The  Inhabitants  of  Kennybcck  Iliuer  and 
Sackadlhock  Island"  petitioned  the  C/Ouncil  of  Massachusetts  for 
help,  styling  thcnjselves  "Your  poor  and  humble  Petitioners,  being 
in  a  sad  dei)lorable  condition  the  Army  being  called  home  ...  the 
most  of  our  houses  being  now  att  this  Instant  in  a  fHame."  Hence 
they  desired  "a  speedy  supply  of  men."  On  July  11th  there  was 
an  attack  near  Lieut.  HunniweH's  garrison.  (This  was  Richard 
H.,  of  Scarborough,  of  whom  more  elsewhere.)  Jnly  20th,  a 
Charles  Hunnewell  was  killed  by  (he  Indians. 

Amhijosi:'  had  children,  I  hey  wcih;  born,  an<l  they  lived,  al- 
though there  seem  to  be  no  extant  records  of  their  births  and  order.

144  Ilannewell.  [April, 

Tlie  early  IMaine  records  had  a  hard  time  between  dispersion  or 
destruction  during  the  devastating  French  and  Indian  Wars.  Still, 
evidence  <|uite  as  good  exists  elsewhere,  and  was  in  time  found. 

Naturally  these  children,  like  a  great  many  other  persons  of  their 
region,  moved  southward  to  peace  and  security.  In  Boston,  1(581, 
appears  on  the  tax-list  an  Ambrose — the  first  note  of  him  there  ;  in 
1G88,  were  a  Stephen  and  a  liichard,  tiie  latter  also  in  lG8i).  Of  a 
sister  Mary  there  is  later  evidence.  In  1698,  at  Charlestown,  first 
appears  the  writer's  direct  ancestor  Charles.  Years  later,  the  rela- 
tionshij)  of  all  these  five  is  found  clearly  on  record. 

Av/bro,s(i,  at  lioston  in  1731,  de[)oscd  that  about  1671  "he  lived 
witli  his  Parents  n{)on  an  Islet  calh'd  Ilcjnniwcll's  Point  on  the 
West  Side  of  the  Mouth  of  Kenebeck  River."  April  16,  1719,  he, 
of  Boston,  signs  "llec'*  of  my  brother  Stej)hen  Hunnewcll  "  pay 
for  his  (Stephen's)  interest  in  lands  "  on  ye  Soutii  Part  of  Sagadehoc 
Tiivcr,"  including  certain  "made  over  unto  my  Father  Ambrose 
Ilunniwell." 

JSfitnj  (AVhitin)  of  Boston,  "widdow,"  conveys  to  her  brother 
Stephen  Ilunniwell  of  Boston,  Fisherman,  her  interest  in  the  same, 
at  the  same  date.  (Stephen's  pursuits  are  further  shown  in  accounts 
of  his  death,  that  will  be  given  hereafter  by  the  writer.) 

Itlchard  Ilonnywell  of  Boston,  conveyed  same  to  "my  well- 
beloved  li  rot  her  Stephe)i  Ilonnywell  of  Boston,  Marriner."  June 
24,  1747,  Richard  Ilunniwell  of  Boston,  N.  E.,  mason,  "being 
aged,"  made  his  will.  He  gave  to  the  ministers,  Mr.  Webb  (Rev. 
John,  New  North  Ciiurch,  1714-50),  and  Mr.  Eliot  (Rev.  Andrew, 
Do.,  1742-78),  £10.  each,  and  made  becjuests  to  brother  Charles's^ 
widow  (lie  cL  Dec.  14,  1737),  and  to  brother  Charles's  children, 
especially  naming  Richard  and  Mary  (living  in  1747).  Also  £10. 
"to  my  Nephew  Stephen"  (a  son  of  the  above  Stephen). 

Thus  appear  Ambrose  of  Kennebec,  and  his  five  children  (of 
whose  nmnber,  etc.,  there  is  further  evidence).  Before  giving  an 
account  of  those  who  remained  in  Boston,  and  of  certain  ones  in 
Maine,  the  writer  tells  the  story  of  his  ancestor  Charles  and  of 
descendants  from  him. 

Of  CiiAULES^  the  first  record  appears  to  be  on  the  Charlestown 
Records.  "  1698,  Novcmb""  17"'  Charles  Hunnewcll  of  Boston  and 
l^hzabcth  Davis  of  (Charlestown,  fJoyned  in  Marriage  before  the 
Reverend  M''  Simon  Bradstrect,  IMinister,"  (of  (charlestown,  Oct. 
26,  16!),S,  to  1741). 

In  Savage's  (lenealogical  Dictionary  of  New  England  (II,  499), 
Charles  is  said  to  have  been  the  son  of  Richard  of  Boston,  a  state- 
ment that  seems  to  iiave  been  co[)ied  by  AVyman,  Ruggles,  and 
otht'r  writers.  He,  iiowever,  has  not  the  distinction  of  beiug  the 
son  of  his  brother,  who  ap[)ears  to  haxe  become  confused  among 
several  iJichards  to  be  mentioned  elsewiiere  by  the  writer. 

As  ali'cady  shown  in  this  account,  we  find  how,  by  looking  and

gathering  here  and  there,  we  get  the  means  to  form  a  fair  opinion 
of  persons  who  lived  long  ago  in  quiet  or  aecluded  life,  and  of 
whom  nothing  like  biographical  notices  exist.  This  fact  we  can 
continue  to  observe.  General  characteristics  appear.  jNIcmbers  of 
tlic  present  family,  while  gpod  citizens  through  two  centuries,  seem 
to  have  avoided  political  life,  and  to  have  kept  as  far  as  could  be, 
and  as  will  be  shown,  a  settled  position  and  i)crmanent  home.  Of 
course  in  such  a  period  tiiere  have  been  diversities  of  ability  and 
of  fortune,  and  in  these  the  reverse  of  decline  has  been  evident. 

Between  1708  and  172(8,  Charles  bought  sundry  parcels  of  real 
estate  in  (.'harlcstowu  ;  among  them,  in  1710,  the  house  and  land  that 
for  the  next  cighty-ibur  years  made  the  homestead  of  the  writer's 
ancestors. 

January  10,  1710,  says  the  deed  (Mid.  15,  396),  he  bought  of 
Jonathan  AVclsh  of  Charlestown  "Dwelling  house  and  barne,  with 
all  the  Land  adjoining,"  given  to  the  latter  by  his  father's  will,  and 
situated  in  the  second  division  of  the  town,  so  called  (now  Somcr- 
villc).  There  were  fifteen  acres  of  land  bounded  south  by  a  way 
leading  to  Mcnotomy.  'J'he  place  was  about  a  mile  nortiieast  of 
Cambridge  meeting-house,  and  three  miles  Avest  by  north  of  that 
in  Charlestown,  on  what  was  long  called  "  j\Iilk  Kow."  About  fifty 
feet  north  of  this  road  stood  the  house,  built  probably  in  IGlil, 
when  Thomas  \Velsh,  father  of  .Jonathan,  had,  by  Selectmen's 
record,  liberty  to  build.  This  house,  as  known  long  ago  by  the 
wri(ci',  was  of  wood,  two  stories  high,  and  had  a  sloped  roof.  In 
the  centre  was  a  very  large  chimney,  before  which  were  a  stair  and 
the  front  door.  On  each  side  of  these  was  a  fair  sized  room  witli  a 
beam  across  a  plastered  ceiling,  '^fhe  windows  were  narrow.  At 
the  back  was  a  kitchen  on  which  was  subsecpicntly  put  a  second 
story.  In  front  were  two  terraces,  on  the  top  of  which  the  liouse 
stood,  and  by  the  road  a  gate  flanked  each  side  by  a  long  hedge 
of  lilacs  lully  ten  feet  high,  and  back  of  these  by  trees.  The  place 
was  the  most  j)icturcsque  of  its  age,  or  nearly  its  age,  that  the  writer 
remembers  in  the  region.  It  was  not  a  "colonial  mansion,"  but  it 
was  decidedly  superior  to  the  usual  old  farmhouse.  Long  ago,  also, 
it  disapj)cared  there,  due  effort  to  the  contrary  notwithstanding ; 
poor  recent  buildings  are  now  on  a  part  of  its  site,  and  not  a  trace 
of  its  })icturcsqueness  remains. 

Charles^  had  eight  children,  all  baptized  in  the  First  Church, 
Charlestown  ;  of  whom  two  died  young,  and  two  were  unmarried. 
He  died  Dec.  14,  17o7.  Tiie  inventory  of  his  estate,  dated  March 
13,  1737-8,  shows  a  valuation  of  £1301.  ID.  0.  Small  as  this 
would  now  appear,  it  ranks  midway  in  a  list  of  the  estates  of  eigh- 
teen heads  of  families  who  were  near  that  date  best  off  in  his  native 
town,  the  largest  being  £4080.  It  shows  what  was  then  a  condi- 
tion in  a  prosperous  town  of  Massachusetts.  Millionarics  had  not 
been  invented  there,  but  as  was  said  of  the  dollar  that  Washington

GOVERNOR  RICHARD  VINES. 
SOME  NEW  FACTS  CONCERNING  HIS  PERSONAL  HISTORY. 

By  Charles  Euwaed  Banks,  Surgeon  and  ISIedical  Purveyor,  U.  S.  M.  H.  S. 

No  one  familiar  with  the  early  colonial  history  of  Maine  can  fail  to  have  a 
dct^p  admiration  for  the  services  rcnderi'd  to  the  infant  province  b)'  Ricliard 
Vines,  nor  hesitate  to  entertain  tlie  greatest  respect  for  liis  noble  clinracter. 
It  has  always  been  an  intention  of  mine  to  record  as  fnlly  as  possible  the 
story  of  his  strnfrgles  in  establishing  civil  authority  in  the  province  as  rep- 
resentative of  the  Lord  Proprietor,  and  to  delineate  in  its  proper  light  the 
results  of  the  work  performed  by  him  under  the  most  adverse  circumstances. 
The  exigencies  of  jmblic  service  have  preventtid  the  consunnnation  uf  this 
wisli,  and  as  I  have  some  new  material  respecting  his  family  and  the  close 
of  his  earthly  career  in  another  part  of  the  world,  I  have  thought  best  to 
place  it  before  the  Society,  in  ordt;r  that  it  may  be  available  for  future  use 
by  the  liistorian  of  that  State.  This  material  has  been  in  my  possession  for 
about  fifteen  years,  and  I  think  further  retention  of  it  undesiral)le. 

Of  the  origin  of  (Governor  Vines,  whom  Sir  Ferdinando  refers  to  as 
"  my  servant,"  I  have  been  imal)le  to  obtain  any  definite  information.  It 
is  probable  that  he  was  a  West  countryman,  possibly  a  resident  of  some 
parish  in  Somersetshire,  near  the  Gorges  family  seat,  from  whence  he  went 
into  the  service  of  Sir  Ferdinando  as  his  agent,  or  "steward  general,"  in 
the  management  of  the  colonizing  enterprises  of  that  worthy  knigiil.*  That

hc3  ai'turvvurd  became  a  teinponiry  rcsiduiit  of  London  seems  to  ho  proven 
by  tbe  I'ollowiiii;  entry  taken  from  the  parinli  reijisters  of  St.  James,  Clerk- 
eiivvell :  IJapti/.ed  February  '22d,  l()2o/(!  "  Kiehard,  son  of  Richard  Vynes 
&  .Tone  iix."  Tliis  seems  more  than  a  coincidence  of  names,  a-^  it  is  known 
that  his  wife's  name  was  doaii,  and  that  he  had  a  son  Kichard,  of  whom  I 
shall  speak  later.  This  date  was,  as  will  bo  remembered,  ten  years  after 
the  winter  spent  by  him  and  his  companions  at  the  mouth  of  the  Saco  river. 

Four  years  later,  in  li')'2\),  on  the  same  day  of  Februai-y  he  was  j^ranted 
a  patent  with  John  Oldham  for  the  territory  comprising  the  present  site  of 
Biddeford.  AVith  his  subsecjuent  career,  after  his  arrival  in  the  I'rovince 
of  lAIaiue,  most  of  the  members  of  this  society  are  familiar,  as  developed  in 
many  scattered  documents;  and  letters  which  have  been  printed  from  time 
to  time  in  numerous  publications.  It  is  not  my  {)resent  jjurpose  to  deal 
with  tliis  pi'riod  of  his  career,  when  lie  was  struj^^linif  against  the  machina- 
tions of  that  turbulent  factor  in  JNIaine  history,  (jeorge  Cleaves,  whose  con- 
tinued and  often  successful  elforts  to  disturb  the  peace  iinally  drove  this 
sterling  character  away  from  the  province  to  seek  rest  in  his  declininir 
years  under  more  favorable  conditions.  The  date  of  his  departure  for  Bar- 
badoes,  whither  he  went,  can  be  (piite  closely  identified.  In  a  letter  dated 
iHtli  of  February,  lG-ir>/(;,  Cieor^e  Cleaves  says:  "For  thouyh  Mr.  Vines 
be  now  gone."  lie  sold  his  patent  October  21st,  IGlo,  to  J)r.  Robert  Child, 
and  between  that  date  and  the  following  February  above  referred  to,  ho 
took  his  departure  for  the  Island  of  Jiarbadoes,  where  he  lived  in  the  parish 
of  Saint  JMichael's.  There  he  practised  his  profession  of  medicine,  and  en- 
gaged largely  in  the  cultivation  of  cotton,  tobacco  and  sugar.  Two  letters 
01  his  from  that  place  to  Governor  A\'inthrop  are  extant  under  date  of  Ulth 
of  April,  lGf7,  and  2'Jth  of  April,  IG  bS,  in  the  first  of  which  he  says  : — - 

"J  have  settled  myselfe  by  God's  assistance  on  two  plantations  adjoin- 
ing, containing  50  acres,  the  which  1  hope  after  G  months  will  mayntayne 
nie  and  myne  comfortably,  besides  my  practice  of  physick  which  is  worth  at 
least  10,000  lb.  of  tobacco  per  ann.  declare,  yett,  it  is  hard  with  me  by  rea- 
son of  my  great  payments  for  my  plantations  and  negroes  and  other  neces- 
sary disbursements  already  paid  to  the  value  of  40,000  lb.  of  tobacco,  which 
keepes  me  bare  at  present ;  I  doubt  not  but  the  next  crop  (proving  well) 
l)ut  to  be  better  able  to  live  than  I  have  been  many  years.  ******* 
I  i)lesse  God  my  family  contimie  in  good  health,  all  liking  the  ishuul  well, 
notwithstanding  theii-  change  of  dyett,  which  at  present  is  but  slender,  yet 
far  from  want.  I  feare  not  but  within  six  months  to  live  as  plentifully  as 
any  man  upon  this  island,  according  to  my  proportion.  1  have  at  present 
IG  acres  of  cotton  planted  at  the  least,  as  nuich  corne  for  my  provisions,  by- 
sides  tobacco.     The  next  yeare  I  intend  for  sugar,  at  present  J  cannot."  * 

Richard  Vines  lived  three  years  aftiir  the  <late  of  this  last  letter,  and  the 
following  entry  from  the  parish  registers  of  Saint  Michael's  gives  the  date 
of  his  burial.

The  reference  to  "  My  sonne  in  Lawe,  Thomas  Ellacott,"  who  had  mar-

I  was  able  to  obtain  from  the  parish  recoi'ds-t  The  marriage  entry  is  as

"1649

A  child  of  this  marriage  was  Vines  Ellicott,  who  came  to  New  England 
and  endeavored  to  establish  the  title  to  certain  jjroperty  once  owned  by 
Kiehard   Vines.      In  a  petition  to  Sir  Edmund   Andros    he  prays  that  he

Of  tin;  son  Richard,  wliose  baptism  in  London  I  have  mentioned,  the  fol-

undertake  to  collate  the  numerous  documents  covering  the  period  of  his

of  this  staunch  royalist  and  honorable  gentleman.

Then  follow  thirty-two  Indian  names,  headed  by  Jehoiakim 
Mtohksin,'  after  which  we  have  two  attestations  to  their  truth. 

"  Camp  at  Charlestowu,  March  12'*^,  177G. 
This  may  certify   that   the  within  named  persons  were  Soldiers  in   my 
Rei,dment  and  served  as  such  in  the  Service  of  this  Province  last  summer 
uutU  they  were  dismissed  hy  his  Excellency  Gen'  Washington. 

Attest         John  Faterson,  Col. 

These  Indians  belonged  to  Capt.  Goodrich's  Company. 

Attest        John  Sargent. 

Their  attachment  to  the  American  cause  continuing,  they  desired 
to  be  f'urthi'r  om[)Ioyed,  a  movement  which  was  recommended,  July 
30,  177G,  by  (Jen,  Wasliington  to  the  C'ontiuental  Congress.  Tliat 
body,  by  a  resolution  passed  a  few  days  later,  directed  the  general 
to  employ  as  many  as  he  deemed  expedient,  and  Timothy  Edwards, 
Esii-,  ('ouuHissioner  ofludian  All'airs  lor  the  Northern  Department, 
at  Stockbridge,  was  instructed,  Aug.  7,  to  engage  as  many  as  he 
could,  giving  them  the  privilege  of  joining  either  the  northern  de- 
partment of  the  army,  under  Gen.  Schuyler,  or  of  coming  to  Wash- 
ington's quarters  at  New  York. 

During  the  fall  an  independent  company  of  these  Indians,  under 
Capt.  Ezra  Whittlesey,  was  posted  by  Gen.  Gates  at  the  "  Ty " 
Saw  Mills,  with  two  regiments  under  Col,  Samuel  Brewer,  and 
on  Sept.  13  the  men  were  ordered  to  wear  blue  and  red  caps  to 
distinguish  them  from  the  enemy's  Indians,  who  were  in  large  force 
under  Sir  John  Johnson. 

About  this  time  (Jen.  Washington  thought  the  Stockbridge  In- 
dians would  be  useful  for  scouting 'parties,  and  to  this  cllect  his  sec- 
retary, liobt.  II.  Harrison,  wrote  (ien.  Schuyler,  from  Harlem 
Heights,  Oct.  18,  177G,  adding:  "If  the  situation  of  ailairs  in  the 
Northern  army  do  not  require  their  continuance  there." 

lUit  the  ((ucstion  of  their  usefulness  or  aid  in  that  (piarter  was 
brielly  ihci(h'tl  in  a  h-tter  of  Oct.  22  fri>m  (.'ol.  Hrcwer  to  Gen. 
(jates,  in  which  he  recommends  that  they  be  discharged,  "if  con- 
sistent with  duty,"  as  it  was  dilKcult  to  keep  them  in  order.

for  the  people  of  the  surrounding  country,  on  pretext  that  tliey  had  more 
,.uv  for  tlu'ir  hibor,  a  special  order  conhned  all  privates  in  the  fort  each 
LuHnin..-  (luring  the  hay  season  till  a  snllicient  nnnd>er  of  nu-n  was  secured 
for  -ettin-  hay  for  his  majesty's  use.  A  d.-taclnnent  was  ordere.l  to  search 
the  "huts  "and*  houses  of  the  inhabitants  at  gun-tiring  every  evening  and 
suhliers  found  were  to  be  brought  into  the  "  p^i'vuus  of  the  tort,  where 
they  were  to  lie  till  further  orders.  Very  stringent  game  laws  were  found 
needful,  to  keep  the  men  from  shooting  at  the  expense  ot  tlie  King  s  am- 
nmnition.  None  were  allowed  to  go  out  for  that  purpose  without  tickets, 
h,h1  nol  more  than  three  of  each  company  in  a  day.  All  shooting  at  game, 
eillier  living  or  sitting  near  the  fort,  was  forbidden. 

Special  service  was  required  of  the  men  in  waiting  upon  sloops  that  came 
into  the  river-  unloading  and  transferring  stores.     A  wood  party,  with  a 
fortni.-ht's  provision,  under  Captain  Taplin,  was  manned  and  sent  out.     A 
scouting    party,    embracing   two   captains,  four  subs,  four   sergeants,  two 
corporals,   and    fiO   privates,  with   sufficient  powder,  balls   and   ffint,   wa* 
ordered   to   embark  on   the  Schooner  IMonckton,  Captain  Macomb,  which, 
after  eleven  days'  absence,  returned,  "  all  well,  without  much  success,  ex- 
cept some  i)lunder."  ,.  ,      r^^^,^ 
As   the   season   advanced,  lamps  and  "  oyl "  were  found  need  ul.     Two 
lamps  were  allowed  to  the  soldi.'rs'  barracks  in  the  tort,  and  two  tor  tha    m 
the  spur.     Another  wood  party  of  "  a  hundred  rank  and  hie     and  U  days 
provision,  ordered  to  go  down  the  bay  as  soon  as  Captain  l^oggett  s  sloop 
was  ready  for  their  embarkation.     Although  the  general  health  o    the  gar- 
rison was  good,  and  only  three  deaths  had  been  reported,  the  <iuarteimaster 
was  ordered,  Sept.  28,  "to  take  a  corporal  and  six  privates  to  get  tlie  sick 
men  on  board  the  vessel  that  is  to  carry  them  to  New  England,  and  to  pn 
some  good  swct  hay  on  board  for  them  to  lay  upon  on  their  passage.     It 
was  exi.ressly  ordered  that  no  masters  of  vessels  in  this  place  presume  to 
carry  away  any  person  except  by  permission  of  the  commanding  othcer. 

It  having  been  reported  that  the  soldiers  had  accustomed  themselves  to 
'^eamin-  Tt  cards"  in  their  barracks,  which  kept  them  up  late  at  night 
ami  mi'dit  exix.se  tliem  to  earelessness  with  their  lires,  such  gaming  was 
forbidden,  and  ollicers  enjoined  to  use  their  utmost  endeavors  to  suppress 

'htcrea"sin<r  insubordination  among  the  men  was  manifested  in  the  orders 
issued.  Col  Frye,  in  an  order  that  reads  more  like  a  remonstrance,  bewails 
the  ditliculties  that  beset  the  orderly  sergeants  "by  reason  of  the  obstmacy 
of  the  i)rivate6,"  who  refused  to  assist  in  unloading  "  the  _ vessels  m  his 
niaiesty's  pay,  for  to  fetch  firewood,"  not  only  causing  the  Kings  money  to 
be  thrown  away  and  their  fidelity  questioned,  but  entailing  su  termg  upon 
his  maiesty's  troops  in  the  wintcsr  for  want  of  firewood,  when  by  reason  ot 
trreat  snow  and  sc-vere  weather  they  might  not  have  it  in  their  power  to  get 
any,  and  therefore  instructed  the  officers  to  see  that  their  men  turn  out  sea- 
sonably for  unloading  each  vessel  as  it  arrives,  "and  not  leave  it  to  struggle 
between  their  orderly  sergeants  and  obstinate  privates.  One-halt  cord  ot 
firewood  per  week  was  allowed  to  each  chimney  m  use. 

Col.  Frye's  forebodings  of  storm  and  severe  weather  were  quickly  real- 
ized.    Nov.    4,  he   reports   tremendous  gales  of   wind  and  surprising  sea, 
•    8catterin<r   the  wood  that  was  corded  upon  the  marsh,  and  causing   much 
other  damage.     In  December,  the  guards  were  ordered  at  all  tiim.-s  as  occa- 
sion required,  to  help  the  train  of  artillery  clean  the  batteries  ot  the  snow.

IHG  Orderly  Book  of  Sergeant  Josiah  Perry.  [April, 

Information  reaching  the  colonel  that  Thomas  Lawrence,  an  Indian,  "  had 
bci-n  Been  couiing  out  (hunk  from  the  soldiera'  barracks,  and  as  such  jnac- 
ticcs  might  he  attended  with  fatal  conseciuences  to  the  Peace  lately  con- 
cludeil  with  the  Chief  Sachem  of  Acadia,"  all  members  of  the  garrison 
were  expressly  forbi<lden  to  give  any  Indian  ttiat  entered  the  fort  any  sort 
of  spirituous  liquors  of  any  name  or  nature  whatsoever.  Subse(iueut  orders 
forbade  sutlers  or  other  inhabitants  within  the  command  of  the  fort  to 
give  or  sell  any  spirituous  liquors  of  any  sort  to  the  Indians  except  by  per- 
mission from  the  commaniling  othcer. 

As  the  con(juest  of  Canada  went  forward,  the  charge  of  the  French  in- 
habitants brought  new  burthens  and  perplexities  to  our  commander.  Jan. 
11),  17G0,  sick  and  lame  soldiers  were  brought  out  of  the  hospital  to  make 
room  for  tlie  French  people  who  were  stowed  into  hospital,  vacant  bar- 
racks and  huts  "  in  such  manner  as  will  be  most  for  the  saving  of  fuel, 
which  is  like  to  fall  short."  Feb.  4,  a  list  was  ordered  of  all  the  French  people 
now  here,  distinguishing  between  the  residents  of  dilferent  provinces  ;  also  be- 
tween those  that  desired  to  return  to  their  several  places  of  abode,  and  such 
able-bodied  men  as  could  encamp  in  the  woods,  where  they  could  supply 
themselves  with  wood.  In  one  of  his  ])rolix  expounders,  March  lU,  Col. 
Frye  discusses  the  situation.  Wy  articles  of  submission  to  his  Britannic 
majesty,  made  by  Mr.  Mauack  and  other  principal  men,  for  themselves  and 
other  French  {)eople  residing  at  l*ettecondsack  and  3Iemoraincook,  he  had 
settled  a  (}uantity  of  provision  upon  these  people,  taking  the  utmost  care 
that  it  should  not  exceed  the  real  necessity  of  tiiese  indigent  peo])le,  and 
to  prevent  any  siq)ply  going  to  such  as  remained  obstinate  —  and  some  had 
tlie  front  to  apply  for  ])rovisions  to  carry  away  who  were  suspected  of  some 
scheme  against  his  majesty's  interest,  therefore  all  were  forbidden  to  send 
provision  out  of  the  fort,  or  to  supply  applicants  with  more  than  they  need 
for  2)reseut  subsistence.  Again,  "  some  might  be  in  pressing  need  of  pro- 
vision," who  were  possessed  of  effects,  such  as  cattle,  horses,  sheep,  swine, 
beaver,  poultry,  and  other  merchantable  goods.  The  commissary  was  in- 
structed to  make  entry  of  all  these  things,  iu  order  that  they  miglit  judge 
who  were  projter  sidjjects  of  charity  and  who  ought  to  pay  for  their  pro- 
visions, 'i'rading  with  the  French  and  Indians  for  pottery,  feathers  or 
valuable  elfects  was  strictly  forbidden  —  but  liberty  given  to  purchase 
geese,  ducks,  j)ai1  ridges,  liares  and  sucii  like  game.  Oen.  Andu-rst,  in 
grappling  with  the  French  problem,  recouunended  that  the  inhabitants 
fi'oni  St.  John's  iviver  be  sent  as  ])risoners  of  war  to  Europe  ;  hears  that 
1200  might  be  coUectcid  at  Fort  Cumberland. 

As  the  year  of  service  drew  near  a  close,  the  insubordination  of  the  gar- 
rison soldiers  assumed  a  mutinous  chai'acter.  Cen.  Amherst  reports  to 
Gov.  Lawrence,  17  iNLiy,  17 GO,  that  notwithstanduig  the  bounty  that  had 
been  griinted  to  these  men,  they  were  bent  on  returning  home  and  (putting 
the  fort,  all  but  thirty-five  threatening  to  go  by  land.  Our  orderly  book 
reports  with  much  formality  the  f(dlowing  list  of  "  Loyal  Soldiers  ;  "  — 
William  Dunlap,  Joseph  >VliiHl()u,  lOdward  \Velch,  lleury  Segar,  Joualhau 
llarbaek,  Daniel  llanuiKjnd,  Isaiah  Tulfls,  -lelfery  Dunahoe,  Henjamin  Hill, 
Jose}»h  Allen,  Thomas  Bumstead,  John  Treet,  George  Ivoss,  ^'athaniel 
Kand,  Peter  Busbee,  Alex''  IMcDowle,  Solomon  Pliyps,  Thomas  Biayzer, 
James  Pierce,  Nathaniel  Langson,  Edmund  Penney,  John  Boyson,  John 
lirown,  Joseph  Savill,  Nathaniel  Harris  —  to  which  the  good  corjioral  aj)- 
pends  a  hearty  '•  Amen." 

It  was  ordered  that  the  men  for  bringing  in  wood  and  drawing  provision

into  the  Btore-houses  should  "  all  bo  detached  from  the  mutinous  part  of  the 
<rarris()n."  A  number  of  "  newly  enlisted  "  were  sent  to  take  the  place  of 
deserters.  Some  arrangement  was  made  by  which  the  greater  part  ot  the 
disaffected  remained  through  the  summer.  Duties  were  the  same  as  on  the 
previous  season  —  keeping  guard,  unloading  and  hauling  stores,  cuttmg 
wood,  mowing  tlie  King's  grass.  Continuous  laws  were  needed  to  restrict 
the  sale  of  spu-ituous  licpior.  The  inhabitants  of  the  surrounding  country, 
-  takino-  Buch  an  unbounded  liberty  "  in  employing  the  soldiers  for  service, 
all  were  eommandetl  to  be  in  the  fort  at  "  retreat,"  and  sentries  forbidden 
to  allow  any  m:in  to  pass  out  without  a  written  i)ass  or  ticket.  Learning 
that  some  of  the  men  took  advantage  of  these  "  shooting  tickets  "  to  lay 
schemes  to  desert  his  majesty's  service,  the  much-tried  commander  was 
obliged  to  restrict  the  use  of  tickets.  -,       .   • 

With  the  expiring  efforts  of  tlio  French  to  regain  their  lost  dominion. 
Fort  ( 'umberlaud  sifffered  its  first  alarm.  Special  orders  were  issued  Sept. 
9.  The  word  to  be  passed  to  the  sentries  every  ten  minutes  alter  tattoo- 
beatiii'r.  Patrols  to  i)ass  hourly  every  night  around  the  huts  and  hospitals. 
Tiie  r'oyal  train  of  artillery  to  keep  on  duty  at  night  one  lieutenant,  one 
crunner,  Unw  matrosses  ;  no  lights  nor  tires  allowed  either  English  or 
French  ;  no  soldier  allowed  to  sleep  out  of  his  barracks  on  any  pretence 
whatever  ;  ollicers  to  hold  themselves  at  the  utmost  readiness  to  take  their 
posts  at  a  moment's  warning  ;  officer  of  the  guard  to  give  them  notice  the 
moment  any  enemy  is  discovered.  The  discharge  of  three  cannon  w£^ 
settled  as  a  garrison  alarm  by  which  all  might  know  that  an  enemy  had 
been  discovered.  j     i-      j 

Following  this  futile  alarm  our  Massachusetts  troops  made  ready  tor  de- 
parture. 'Hie  great  reduction  of  forces  necessitated  changes  in  the  order- 
in.r  of  the  -rarrison.  Sergeants  were  made  to  do  corporals'  duty  — guards 
reduced  to  as  small  a  luim^ber  as  possible.  On  Sept.  20,  the  last  entry  was 
made  in  our  Orderly  Book.  The  muster  rolls  in  Massachusetts  Archives 
credit  Caj.t.  donathan  Eddy's  company  vvith  service  from  March  29,  17;/J, 
to  Sept.  17 GO.  The  comiianies  of  Captains  Benjamin  llolden,  AVilliam 
Amder  and  John  Taplin  are  reported  on  service  till  November  following.

Otis,  in  his  "Notes  on  Barnstable  Families,"  Jl^  confuses  Jabez''^  and 
Jabez.'^  The  former,  he  states,  "  married  twice,  the  mother  of  his 
ten  children  being  his  first  wife,  Hannah."  Aiul  again,  "  He  was 
88  years  of  age  when  he  married  his  second  wife,  Mary  Maxwell." 

But  Otis,  himself,  (juestioned  the  fact  of  this  second  marriage,  for 
he  adds,  "  If  the  date  of  the  marriage  whieli  I  liave  is  reliable,  its 
accuracy  may  well  be  doubted." 

These  long  standing  errors,  as  to  the  age  and  second  marriage  of 
Jabez,'-are  proved  as  such  beyond  a  doubt  by  the  preceding  records.

20,  1898.     He  married,  Sept.  4,  1848,  his  cousin,  Amey  Thurber, 
daughter  of  Isaac  an<l   Lucy  (lirown)  Thui-ber,  born  Sept.  1,  1827.

Thurber,  Jolia   Henry,   Charles  Isaac,  Jabez.      (Of  these,  only  the 
two  latter  are  living.) 
The  mistake  hitherto  made  in  this  line  occurs  in  the  fourth  generation, 
where  Jabez''  has  been  displaced  by  Benjamin^,  born  Aug.  22,  1718  (Benja- 
min,* Jabez, ^  John,^)  who  is  claimed  as  the  husband  of  Abigail  Field.     The 
late  John  Gorham'  of  Providence,  whose  descent  is  given,  accepted  this 
error  of   the  fourth  generation,  and  claimed   Benjamin''   as   his  ancestor. 
The  Boston  Evening  Transcript  in  its  issues  of  Nov.  9,  and   Nov.  30,  1898 
((lenealogical    l)e])artm(!nt)    also    makes    this    misstatement.     The    Field 
(b'uealogy  (Mrs.  Hairict  A.  Brownell),  page  11,  reiterates  the  same  mis- 
take in  the  following  words:     "Abigail  Field,  born  in  Providence,  Jan.  27, 
1730,  married  Oct.  7,  174^^,  Benjamin  CJorham,  son  of  Benjamin,  son  of 
Jabez,  son  of  Capt.  John  Gorham  of  Gorhaniburg,   England,  and  Desire 
Howland  ivJio  came  to  America  in  tJie  Mayjlower." 

Three  errors  are  displayed  in  this  statement:  First,  the  date  of  mar- 
riage, "1743,"  making  Abigail  thirteen  years  old  at  the  time ;  second,  the 
substitution  of  "  Benjamin"  as  the  husband  of  Abigail,  for  Jabez — as  will 
be  proved  ;  third,  the  announcement  that  "  Desire  Howland  came  to  Ameri- 
ca in  the  Mayflower."

Tlie  first  error  is  so  palpable  that  it  does  not  need  to  be  discussed,  and  it 
seenm  .siipertiuous  to  explain  that  Desire  1  lowland  did  not  come  over  in  the 
Mayflower.      ('•  Gorhanibnrg"  should  be  Gorhanibury.) 

In  view  of  these  authorities  it  remains  to  support  the  claim  of  Jabez^  by 
reliable  references.     The  proofs  are  these  : 

( 1 )  Benjamin*  Gorham  of  Providence  sells  land  to  "  beloved  son,  Jabez 
of  Providence,  for  and  in  consideration  of  the  sum  of  £100."  Deed  signed, 
Aug.  18,  1753;  acknowledged,  March  25,  1754;  recorded  July  10,  1754.* 

(2)  Benjamin*  Gorham  of  Providence,  "  tanner  and  curler,"  sells  a  lot 
of  land  to  his  "  son,  Jabez  Gorham,  of  said  Providence,  tanner,"  "  for  and 
in  consideration  of  the  sum  of  £300,  well  and  truly  paid  by  my  son,  Jabez." 
Signed,  April  8,  17(;i  ;  recorded,  April  2G,  17(J2.t 

(3)  The  will  of  Benjamin*  Gorham  mentions  his  son,  Jabez,  to  whom 
he  wills  "the  dwelling  house,  where  I  now  live."  It  also  mentions  his 
daughters,  Elizabeth  Grainger  and  Sarah  Whipple,  and  grandson,  Samuel 
Owen.  To  the  latter  he  gives  "a  pair  of  silver  buckles  that  were  his 
uncle's,  Samuel  Gorham."  Jabez  Gorham,  sole  executor.  Will  dated, 
May  14,  17G4;  sworn  to  by  witnesses,  Feb.  1,  1772;  recorded,  May  23, 
1772.1: 

(4)  The  marriage  of  Jabez^  Gorham  to  Abigail  Field  by  Pichard  AVater- 
nian,  justice,  grandfather  of  Abigail,  is  recorded  in  vol.  1,  p.  132,  of  the 
original  IMS.  records  of  marriages  in  Providence.  The  handwriting  of  the 
entry  is  perfectly  legible.  Those  unable  to  verify  this  statement  by  exan> 
ining  the  original  records  can  do  so  by  consulting  Snow's  "  Index  of  Births, 
Marriages  and  Deaths  in  Providence,  1G3G  to  1850,"  pp.  174,  190. 

(5)  Jabez^  Gorham  of  Providence  sells  land  to  George  Payson.  Deed 
sit^ned  by  Jabez  Gorham  and  Abigail  Gorham,  "  wife  of  said  Jabez  Gor- 
h:mi,"  Dec.  20,  17G3  ;  acknowledged,  April  7,  17G4;  recorded,  April  25, 
1764.§ 

(G)  Jabez^  Gorham  of  Providence  sells  land  to  Benjamin  Thurber,  Aug. 
17,  1773.  Deed  signed  by  Jabez  Gorham  "and  wife,"  Abigail  Gorham.|| 
This  is  the  last  mention  found  in  the  records  of  Jabez  and  Abigail. 

It  is  clearly  evident  from  the  foregoing  :  First,  that  Benjamin'  makes 
no  mention  of  a  son,  Benjamin,  or  of  any  of  his  descendants,  either  by  deed 
or  will ;  and  second,  that  it  was  Jabez'*,  and  not  Ik-njamin^,  who  married 
Abii^ail  Fi(;ld.  Indeed,  the  only  wonder  is  that  such  an  error  was  ever 
incorporated  in  this  line  of  descent  and  that  it  has  been  so  long  uncontested. 
There  is,  in  fact,  no  other  record  of  au  Abigail  Field  who  married  a  Gor- 
ham, in  Providence  or  elsewhere. 

In  this  coimection  the  following  communication  from  Mr.  Frank  W- 
Si)rague — who  has  himself  examined  all  the  e\idence  submitted  in  this 
iXYUvAii — will  {)rov(!  valuable  and  suggestive:  "1  have  made  a  personal 
ecarcli  at  Bristol,  Taunton  and  ProvidencHi,  and  then;  is  absolutely  no  trace 
of  i'H'njamin'',  or  of  his  children  or  grandchildren.  We  know  that  he  was 
born,  but  there  is  no  I'ccord  of  him  in  I'rovidence.  1  believe  the  truth  is 
that  lu!  died  young  and  unmarried." 

In  conclusion  we  subjoin  some  notes  of  another  branch  of  the  Gorham 
family.

1900.]  Edward  Benton  and  his  Descendants.  175 


EDWARD  BENTON.  OF   GUILFORD  (CONN.)  AND  HIS 
DESCENDANTS. 

Compiled  by  R.  D.  Smyth  and  communicated  by  Dr.  Bernard  C.  Steiner. 

1.  Edward*  Benton  was  one  of  the  early  settlers  of  Guilford,  though 
not  a  signer  of  the  Plautution  Covenant,  lie  cauie  possibly  from  Wethers- 
field  or  Milford,  and  was  in  the  town  as  early  as  1G1.3  ;  tlie  oath  of  a  free- 
man was  given  him,  IMay  19,  lGf)l.  This  shows  that  h(.'  was  a  chureh 
member.  His  home-lot  was  on  the  west  side  of  the  Green,  and  contained 
two  acres.  Other  parcels  of  laud  owned  by  him  amounted  to  sixty-three 
acres.  He  never  bore  any  considerable  public  olhce,  and  was  not  entitled 
to  the  prefix  "  j\Ir."  lie  was  a  brother  of  Andrew  Benton  of  INIilford  and 
Kartford,  who  died  July  31,  1G83,  aged  G3,  and  who  had  a  large  family  by 
his  Avife  Hannah  Stocking.  Edward  Benton  married  Anne,  who  was 
buried  Aug.  22,  1G71.  He  died  Oct.  28,  1680.  In  1G72  his  list  was 
£72.  Is.  His  will,  made  Mch.  7,  l()75/6,  is  of  interest.  It  states  that 
"  as  the  holy  Providence  of  God  hath  left  the  burden  of  a  crippled  child 
upon  my  hand  to  be  cared  and  provided  for,  who  may  live  and  be  burden- 
some after  my  decease,  Zacheus  Benton  by  name  and  that  atiliction  is  an 
interruj)tion  to  the  more  e(]ual  distribution  of  my  small  estate  amongst  all 
my  children,  I  do,  therefore,  give  only  the  sum  of  5  shillings  apiece  unto 
my  live  children "  (not  including  Zacheus  or  Andrew)  and  to  "  my  son 
Zacheus  Btnton,  I  give  a  colt,  which  he  shall  choose.  Item,  1  give  to  my 
son  Daniel's  widow  a  cow."  "  Lastly  all  the  rest  of  my  estate  **  I  give 
unto  my  sou  Andrew  Benton,  upon  condition  that  he  shall  duly  attend  and 
provide  for  his  brother  Zacheus  Benton,  during  the  term  of  his  natural  life 
with  all  necessaries  of  food  and  raynient,  washing  and  lodging,  suitable  for 
him."     Andrew  is  also  made  executor.

SEAL  OF  THE  COUNTY  OF  DUKES  COUNTY,  MASS. 
(MARTHA'S  VINEYARD). 

By  Chaules  Edwakd  Bankh,  Surgeon  U.  S.  M.  II.  S.,  Vineyard  Haven,  Mass. 

In  tho  IvKcilSTEK,  voliuuo  Kxxvii.,  Lilt),  appears  :ui  article  by  Abner  C. 
(ii)oilell,  iCsti.,  with  the  title  "  l*roviinial  Seals  in  iMassacliusotts,"  rei)rc- 
Benting  tlio  result  of  the  reBoarches  of  this  ^entlenuiii  respeolin<;-  the  use  of 
olliciiil  seals  in  the  various  counties  of  the  C'ommoiiweulth.  In  discussing 
tlie  seals  of  the  county  of  Dukes  County,  he  uses  the  following  language  : 
"  In  Dukes  County  I  lind  occasionally  used  as  a  seal  of  the  Probate  Court 
an  intricate  monogram,  the  faint  and  imi)errect  impressions  of  which  I  have 
btieu  unable  to  (leci[)her.  In  1715  the  initials  J{.  S.  occur,  being  evidently 
those  of  Benjamin  Skilfe,  who  was  then  Judge  of  rrol)ate.  Later  1  lind  a 
mitre  sometinujs  used,  and  sometimes  two  keys  crossed  saltierwise  among 
the  miscellaneous  devices  appearing  upon  the  papers  of  the  Probate  Court  ; 
but  no  evidence  that  a  seal  was  sj)ecially  adopted  in  any  of  the  courts."  In 
a  note  he  suggests  that  the  monogram  referred  to  was  a  double  scroll  repre- 
senting the  initials  J.  A.,  which  were  the  initials  of  Jabez  Athearn,  for  a 
long  time  cleak  of  the  courts. 

1  belitve  I  have  discovi-red  the  correct  ollicial  seal  of  the  County  of  Dukes 
County  as  originally  adopted  a  few  years  after  the  settlement  of  the  island 
of  Martha's  Vineyard.     In  Edgartown  records  under  date  of  January  22,

180  Alden  Oenealogij,  [April, 

lGr>5,  appoars  the  following  entry  :  "  The  common  scale  of  this  place  shall 
be  a  biiiich  of  grapes."  Edgartown,  since  the  settlement  of  the  island  in 
1(3-41,  has  been  the  comity  seat,  the  home  of  the  celebrated  Governor 
Thomas  Mayhew,  and  the  early  records  of  the  town  are  in  effect  the  official 
records  of  the  settlement  there  existing,  as  no  other  town  was  incorporated 
on  the  island  nntil  1G71.  The  entry  above  quoted  respecting  the  seal  un- 
doubtedly applied  to  the  entire  ishmd,  the  ''  bunch  of  grapes  "  being  an 
allusion  to  the  name  of  Martha's  Vineyard,  and  not  to  Great  Harbor,  which 
was  the  earliest  name  of  Edgartown.  Edgartown  did  not  receive  its  name 
until  1G71,  sixteen  years  after  the  adoption  of  the  vote  respecting  the  seal. 
AVhile  on  duty  in  Washington  I  had  an  opportunity  of  consulting  a  large 
volume  of  manuscripts  in  the  custody  of  the  Congressional  Library  relating 
to  legal  matters  upon  the  Vineyard  in  the  eighteenth  century.  These 
manuscripts,  for  purposes  of  reference  in  my  work  in  preparing  the  history 
of  Martlia's  Vineyard,  I  have  designated  as  "  Athearn  Mss.,"  because  they 
are  undoubtedly  the  original  drafts  of  legal  documents  and  other  kindred 
papers  ])repared  by  James  and  Jabez  Athearn  in  their  official  capacities  as 
justices  of  the  peace  and  clerk  of  the  courts  on  Martha's  Vineyard,  begin- 
ning about  1 720  and  covering  a  period  of  about  twenty-five  years.  Many  of 
these  documents  are  originals,  having  signatures  and  seals,  and  upon  a 
number  of  these  documents  issued  by  Jabez  Athearn  as  clerk  I  found  a 
curious  seal,  a  representation  of  which  is  herewith  given. 
1  took  a  number  of  rubbings  from  them,  which  were 
not  entirely  successful,  to  show  the  design,  but  with 
the  aid  of  a  glass  I  copied  the  design.  An  examina- 
tion of  the  seal,  as  shown  by  the  engraving  herewith, 
satisfied  me  that  it  was  a  rude  cutting  of  the  seal  adopt- 
ed in  1G55 — "A  bunch  of  grapes."  The  earliest  re- 
jiresentation  1  find  of  this  seal  in  the  Athearn  Mss.  is 
1722,  and  from  this  I  have  made  the  drawing.  I  should 
be  very  glad  to  have  any  criticisms,  re^^pecting  the  suggestion  I  have  here 
made,  as  to  the  correctness  of  my  views.

[Continued  from  vol.  52,  jiage  440.] 
10.  David*^  Alden  (John^).  Born  in  Duxbury,  1646.  Presumably 
the  youngest  child  of  John  and  Priscilla.  AVe  find  no  date  of  marriage, 
but  the  same  record  occurs  in  widely  separated  families  of  descendants,  viz. 
1G70,  and  from  the  birth  of  the  children  it  is  certainly  not  later  and  may 
be  earlier.  He  died  in  1719.  AVe  find  no  will,  and  only  a  partial  inven- 
tory of  his  estate.  As  shown  by  deeds  of  gift  of  land,  he  gave  to  some  of 
his  children  their  portion  before  his  death,  and  it  is  reasonable  to  suppose 
he  gave  to  all ;  but  some  failed  to  have  them  recorded.  AA''e  only  find 
deeds  of  gift  to  four  of  his  children  —  though  we  know  he  had  more  —  to 
Alice,  wife  of  Judah  Paddock;  to  Priscilla  Cheeseborough,  wife  of  Samuel, 
and  to  his  two  sons,  Benjamin  and  Samuel.  He  gives  to  Benjamin  Alden 
land  in  Duxburough  and  Pembroke.  (Plymouth  Registry  of  Deeds,  vol. 
12,  page  147.)  To  Samuel  Alden,  seaman,  from  David  Alden,  husband- 
man, for  natural  love  and  affection,  land  in  Middleborough,  Rooty  Brook,

iHun.a  bmt her  NN'illiam  and  sister  I'riscilla  (Southworth)  [Talbot]  Irish,  and 
another  Bi^ter  Alico,  wife  of  Col.  Benjamin  Church,  in  Little  Coinpton. 
Another  fai't  comes  to  light  in  the  de.scendant8  of  David  alone;  for  three 
generations  we  lind  the  name  Alice  —  no  doubt  from  the  illustrious 
great  grandmother,  Alice  Bradford.  David  Alden  married  Mary  South- 
worth,  daughter  of  Constant  Southworth  and  Klizabeth^  Collier  (^Villiam), 
his  wife.  I  think  she  was  born  about  IGoO.  She  Avas  alive  ]\Iarch  13,  1718, 
but  I  think  died  before  Feb.  17,  171i).  At  that  time  Col.  Benjamin  Church 
*'  went  on  a  visit  of  condolence  to  the  only  surviving  sister  "  of  his  wife, 
I'riseilla  (Southworth)  [Talbot]  Irish,  wife  of  John  Irish,  who  lived  in  Little 
Compton,  near  the  Tiverton  line.  Slie  had  lost  her  only  daughter,  Han- 
nah Talbot.  Iveturning  from  that  visit,  his  horse  stumbled  and  fell,  and 
caused  his  death.  1  will  give  the  children  of  David  and  Mary  Alden  as  it 
seems  to  me  best,  from  their  age  at  death,  giving  the  reasons,  as  we  come 
to  their  families  in  their  order. 

"  David  Alden  lived  in  Duxbury,  about  two  miles  from  his  father's  house. 
The  spot  is  marked  on  the  map  of  Duxbury  by  a  small  house,  with  the 
name  of  Mrs.  Soule.  Mrs.  Soule  was  daughter  of  Samuel,  sou  of  David. 
It  was  torn  down  in  182U."

NOTES  FROM  COVENTRY. 

By  Walteu  Kendall  Watkins,  Ei^q.,  ofMalJen,  Mass. 

In  the  Introduction  of  the  edition  of  Sewall's  Diary,  printed  in  1878,  the 
editors  gave  an  account  of  the  Sewall  Eamily,  end)odying  results  obtained 
by  Col.  Chester,  and  referring  to  Henry  and  ^Yillianl  Sewall,  Mayors  of 
Coventry,  in  1581),  IGOG  and  1G17,  placing  them  as  the  })robable  fomid- 
ers  of  their  race.  They  also  refer  to  a  family  named  Scawale,  one  of 
whom  was  sheriff  of  Essex  and  Herts,  IV  Richard  11  (1381). 

Having  examined  the  records  hi  the  muuinumt  room  at  Coventry,  for 
John  rickering  of  Salem  and  his  family,  who  were  in'Coventry  during  the 
sixteenth  and  seventeenth  centuries,  and  knowing  it  to  have  been  the  home 
of  the  Sewalls,  1  was  on  the  lookout  for  any  early  references  to  that  name, 
and  I  give  the  following  as  of  possible  hiterest  to  many  readers. 

XXV  Edward  111.  (lo.Vi).  Gift  in  fee-farm  for  ever,  of  a  piece  of 
land  lying  in  the  lane  of  the  Friars  ]\Iinor8  of  Coveutre,  at  a  yearly  rent  of 
two  silver  pence,  by  Nicholas  Percy  the  Mayor,  and  the  baililfs  of  Coven- 
tre  to  Sewall  de  Bulkynton  of  Coveutre,  ^Villiam  Lutf  senior  of  Coventre 
and  xSicholas  de  Iniddesley  chaplain,  their  heirs  and  assigns. 

Two  years  earlier  a  seisin  of  a  messuage  in  Earl's  Street  Coventre  was 
delivered  to  the  same  persons. 

liulkington  is  about  four  miles  from  the  city  of  Coventry.  Six  miles 
southeast  of  Stratford-on-Avon  is  Ettington,  where  the  church  was  built 
and  endowed,  about  the  time  of  the  Noruum  conquest,  by  the  Anglo-Saxon 
Sasualo,  wh(jse  son  was  Sewallus  de  Etendon,  a  knight,  and  whose  reputed 
descendant,  Sewallis  Evelyn  Shirley,  Es(].,  is  lord  of  the  manor  of  Etting- 
ton. From  Si:wallus,  those  of  the  name  of  the  Coventi'y  family  of  Sewall 
were  most  likely  descended.

184  Diary  of  Oapt.  Asa  Foster.  [April/ 

day  I  was  ordered  to  detach  ten  men  from  my  Company  to  be  left  at  this 
garrison  and  tlie  rest  to  hold  themselves  in  readiness  to  march  to  the  Lake, 
and  J.ieiit.  Walker  was  also  ordered  to  tarry  at  this  place. 

21).   iNuthinti;  remarkaltle. 

30.  This  day  Mj.  (^a^e  with  the  troo^ts  under  his  command,  except  the 
detachment,  marched  for  Fort  Edward,  and  where  we  lodged  that  night. 

July  1.  AVe  marched  to  the  half  way  brook  and  found  Col.  Nichols  with 
a  part  of  his  regiment  posted  theie.  They  had  about  half  an  acre  of  laud 
picketed  in.     We  continued  there  all  night. 

2.  This  forenoon  Mr.  iMorril  j)i'eached  to  the  regiment,  in  the  after- 
noon we  were  ordered  to  march  to  the  Lake,  viz.  pai't  of  sii  companies,  and 
we  expected  to  go  off  to  'J'icondtMOga  directly  we  arrived  at  the  advanced 
guard  at  the.  Lake  in  the  evening.  J  sliould  iiave  mentioned  that  Col.  Com- 
mins  marchetl  with  this  conunand,  together  with  the  Major  and  six  captains 
of  the  regiment,  being  one  myself. 

3.  We  marched  into  the  camp  at  the  Lake  and  found  a  very  large  en- 
cani|iment,  and  after  Col.  Connnins  had  Ix-en  to  the  (Jeneral  he  came  and 
infornifcl  us  lliaL  W((  are  to  h(!  .slatiomid  at  this  plac:(!,  which  was  very  dis- 
agreeable to  llie  most  of  us.  Alter  some  lim(!  1  went  down  to  tlie  Lake  to 
see  tile  preparations  tliat  were  made  to  attack  the  enemy,  which  was  truly 
wonderful.  We  pitched  what  tents  we  had  at  the  Easterly  side  of  the 
camp  and  made  ourselves  as  comfortable  as  we  could.  1  cannot  express  the 
warlike  preparations  which  I  saw  at  the  Lake  of  all  sorts  and  chiefly  ini- 
barked  on  board  the  bateaux,  and  it  is  expected  that  the  forces  will  march 
in  a  little  time.  We  pitched  our  tents,  the  few  we  had,  and  built  some  huts 
and  made  ourselves  as  comfortable  as  we  could. 

4.  Tills  day  was  spent  in  j)re])aring  for  the  embarcation  of  the  troops. 

0.  The  troops  were  ordered  to  be  ready  for  embarcation  tomorrow  morn- 
ing very  early. 
•  G.  This  day  early  in  the  morning  about  1000  or  1800  men  embarked  on 
board  the  bateaux  and  whale  boats  aik«l  set  off  for  the  French  at  the  Nar- 
rows or  Fort  Carolong  with  a  good  Artillery  and  thirty  days  provisions  on 
board,  which  made  a  line  apjiearance,  IGO  bateaux  being  loaded  with  ordi- 
nance stores  and  Artillery.  After  the  tleet  rowed  oif  1  was  ordered  into 
the  place  where  the  old  fort  stood. 
().   Nothing  reiuarkal)le. 

7.  \\  e  heard  Cajie  Breton  was  invested  and  the  l)atteries  reduced. 

8.  IwO  prisoners  sent  up,  taken  at  the  advanced  guard  at  Ticonderoga 
and  ]"21  were  brought  into  our  stockade  and  guarded  all  night. 

'.).  KSabl)atli  day.  A\''e  this  morning  heard  from  the  Army  at  the  Narrows 
endeavoring  to  force  the  Fr(;nch  entrenchments  met  with  considerable  loss 
to  the  number  of  1500  killed  and  wounded,  chiefly  regulars,  and  before 
night  to  our  astonishment  we  saw  the  lleet  coming  back. 

10.  Nothing  worth  writing. 

11.  Ditto. 

12.  Ditto. 

1'6.  We  moved  from  the  encampment  to  the  West  side  of  the  brook. 

14.  lieing  ordered  yesterday  to  bo  ready  to  march  to  half  way  brook 
and  join  Col.  Nichols  we  marched  about  12  o'clock  and  as  I  was  on  the 
march  met  Dr.  Noyse  who  gave  me  the  sorrowful  news  of  the  death  of  my 
wife.  ANliiu  we  arrived  at  the  stockade  at  half  way  Brook  we  found  Capt. 
Fay  had  a  son  laid  dead  and  was  buried  in  the  evening. 

15.  One  Wrijiht  of  Wilminuton  died.

186  Diarxj  of  Capt.  Asa  Foster.  [April, 

2.  Tills  morning  the  doctor  of  this  Fort  came  over  to  the  Ishmd  and  told 
the  sick  they  must,  all  that  were  able,  be  sent  down  to  Albany  and  that  it 
would  be  best  for  me  to  go.  Accordingly  the  llev.  Mr,  Morril,  Lieut. 
IJoydon  and  I  had  our  things  put  in  the  cart  and  then  found  means  to  get 
in  ourselves  and  were  carried  to  Fort  Miller,  and  we  had  an  escort  of  about 
100  men  till  we  came  there,  and  then  they  returned  and  we  had  a  small 
escort  raised  there  and  then  the  teams  set  oif  for  Saratoga  where  we 
arrived  a  little  before  night  and  found  Capt.  Tajtly,  who  took  good  care  of 
us,  to  whom  I  owe  my  thaidvs. 

i).  We  ol)tuine<l  a  scow  and  the  sick  party  which  came  down  were  put 
into  it  and  wcrt;  rowed  down  the  river  to  Stillwater,  where  we  arrived 
about  3  o'clock  and  there  was  inmietliate  a})plicati()n  made  for  something, 
to  carry  the  sick  down,  but  nothing  to  be  obtained  but  one  wagon  to  bring 
Mr.  Morril  and  me,  into  whicli  we  went  and  left  J^ieut.  Boyden  to  take  care 
of  the  remainder  of  the  sick  and  we  arrived  at  a  house  called  the  half  way 
lioust^,  and  I  was  so  overcome  with  my  days'  work  and  for  want  of  some- 
tliing  to  take  that  was  suitable  for  me  that  J  could  scarcely  stand  or  go  and 
HO  tlirew  myself  on  Ihe  floor  on  my  biaiikct  and  so  lay  till  morning. 

A.  (lot  into  llie  wagon  and  with  j\li'.  Morril  got  down  \o  ('apt.  Schuyler, 
who  took  us  into  his  good  care,  for  which  I  owe  him  and  his  Madam  my 
unfeigned  thanks,  but  being  gi-eatly  fatigued  with  my  corning  down  1  got 
but  little  rest  this  night. 

5.   Something  better.

smoked  a  i)i})e  and  reiurned,  and  notliing  remarkable.  The  afternoon  rained 
and  the  evening  proved  v<>ry  rainy. 

9.  JMr.  Blochade  came  here  from  the  Lake.

KECOKDS  OF  THE  FIRST  CHURCH  OF  ROCKINGHAM, 

VERMONT, 

FROM  ITS  ORGANIZATION,  OCT.  27,  1773,  TO  SEPT.  25,  1839. 

C'oiiicil  l)y  Tuo.MAS  Bi;llo\ys  Pkck,  of  Waljtole,  N.  II. 

Tun  following  records  of  the  lirat  church  in  Rockingham,  Vermont,  have 
been  copied  from  the  original  volume  iu  manuscript  in  the  jjossession  of 
William  II.  II.  Putnam,  of  Springlield,  Vt.,  who  has  kindly  loaned  it  for 
this  purpose.  This  precious  volume  has  come  to  Mr.  Putnam  by  right  of 
his  wife's  descent  from  one  of  the  early  members  of  the  church.  It  has  been 
carefully  cherished,  is  iu  excellent  preservation  and  is  invaluable  ou  account 
of  the  information  which  it  contains  relating  to  the  early  settlers  of  R(jcking- 
ham.  These  records  are  now  priuted  for  the  first  time  in  order  to  preserve 
and  make  accessible  for  reference  the  facts  which  they  contain,  many  of 
which  are  not  on  record  elsewhere,  as  to  the  history  of  the  church,  and 
especially  the  statistics  of  admissions  of  members,  bajitisms,  marriages  and 
deaths  in  the  lirst  half  century  of  the  existence  of  the  town.

First  Church  of  llocktngham,  Vt. 


[April, 


The  earlier  and  by  far  greater  part  of  the  records  is  in  the  handwriting 
of  llic  lirst  minister,  Rev.  Samuel  Whiting,  who  was  born  in  Franklin, 
Muhs.,  March,  1750  (Blake's  "  History  of  the  Town  of  Franklin,"  p.  190), 
or  (according  to  Farmer)  Jan.  28,  1750;  graduated  at  Harvard  College  in 
176D;  was  ordained  pastor  of  the  church  in  Rockingham,  October  27,  1773; 
was  dismissed  by  his  own  request,  May  18,  1809,  and  died  in  Rockingham, 
May  10,  1819.  Mr.  Whiting's  handwriting  had  the  neatness  which  charac- 
terized the  penmanship  of  the  scho- 
C^^^  ,^^  >^^^^^C;T^  ^^"'b'  clergyman  of  the  last  century, 
^._y/^  and  is  illustrated  by  the  accompany- 
f  ^^  ing  facsimile  of  his  signature  and  by 

the  engraved  heading  reduced  from  the  fly-leaf  of  the  volume  of  records- 
The  later  records  are  in  the  handwriting  of  Rev.  Elijah  Wollage,  a  graduate 
of  Dartmouth  College  in  1791,  of  Rev.  Samuel  Mason  and  of  Rev.  Brough- 
ton  White. 

It  is  intended  to  supplement  the  records  with  a  brief  historical  sketch  of 
the  first  church  of  Rockingham  and  its  miniscers,  which  will  be  accompanied 
with  a  half-tone  engraving  of  the  meeting-house,  erected  in  1787.  This 
house  is  still  in  good  preservation  and  is  a  most  interesting  specimen  of  the 
church  architecture  of  the  latter  part  of  the  eighteenth  century. 


Pursuant  to  Letters  Missive  from  the  People  in  Rockingham  &  Chester 
in  the  Province  of  New  York  the  Chhs  of  lirattleborough  Warwick,  Win- 
chester, Swanzy,  Charlestown,  Westmoreland,  Walpole  Lebanon  &  Wren- 
tham  by  their  Elders  &  Messengers  &  the  Messengers  of  Ilindsdale  & 
Cornish  were  Oonveu'd  at  Rockingham  October  27"'  1773.^ 

AVhen  antecedent  to  their  embodying  into  a  Council  an  Enquiry  was  pro- 
pos'd  to  be  made  in  the  Standing  of  the  Chh  in  Brattleboro' upon  Which  the 
Rev''  INP  Reeves  &  the  Messengers  from  Brattleboro'  being  previously  in- 
structed &  empower'd  by  that  Chh  gave  us  full  Satisfaction  with  regard  to 
the  Credentials  of  M''  Reeves  &  the^  Agreement  of  the  Covenant  of  s'^  Chh 
with  ours.  ^Ve  therefore  lTnanimon.sly  agreed  upon  their  desire  in  Con- 
sideration of  their  peculiar  Sityation  to  receive  &  own  them  of  our  fellovv- 
ship.  Nevertheless  we  take  this  method  and  Opportnidty  to  bear  due  Testi- 
mony against  any  Chh's  forming  itself  it  putting  itself  under  the  Care  of  a 
Minister  without  the  Concurrence  of  Sister  Chhs  (where  it  may  be  had)  to 
establish  a  Communion  of  Churches. 

The  Chhs  proceeded  to  embody  into  a  Council  and  made  Choice  of  the 
Rev^'  W  Reeves  Moderator  &  M''  Fessenden  Scribe,  the  Council   being

PASSING  INTO  HISTORY. 


In  memory  of  Rev.  Edward  Griffin  Porter,  A.M.,  President  of  the  New-England 

Historic  (icnealogical  Society. 

By  Kev.  II|':njiy  C.  Gijavks,  D.D. 
.,  Not  much  of  him  for  earth  to  claim  by  right, 

■  '        Who  dwelt  on  heights  where  noble  souls  e'er  stay  ; 

His  winged  feet  moved  lightly  on  their  way, 

Then  vaulte<l  heavenward  \nUt  clouds  of  light. 

'I'he  facile  pen,  (he  golden  mouth,  told  well, 

How  line  the  genius  that  line  thought  inspires; 

How  social  values,  in  historic  Hres, 

Glow,  and  their  glories  in  full  measures  swell. 

Of  such  as  his,  passed  into  history, 
■'         '  Are  eyes  that  shine  where  regal  crests  combine, 

And  brows  around  which  coronets  entwine  ; 

They  point  the  way  lustrous  in  mystery. 
•  Valhallas  now  hold  all  untarnished  worth, 

And  angels  welcome  the  celestial  birth. 
Tremont  Temple,  February,  1900. 

Ri:v.  EdavatiI)  Griffin  Pokter,  A.IM.,  President  of  this  Society,  died

!  .  E. MAIDEN    NAME    OF    IIIS    WIFE. 

A  RECENT  discovery  nccessitiites  a  correction  of  the  probable  maid- 
en name  of  Mrs.  Williams  as  ^iven  in  my  previous  notes,  the  author- 
ity for  which  was  jNIoscs  Brown's  copy  of  a  letter  written  by  William 
Harris  to  Capt.  Deane  under  date  of  14  Nov.,  166G.  ]\Ir.  Robert 
Harris  of  Romfret,  Conn.,  writes  as  follows  : 

PoMFRET,  Feb.  22,  1900. 

Dear  Sir:  At  last  the  original  copy,  by  William  Harris  himself,  of  his 
letter  to  Capt.  Deuue  has  been  found  at  the  Rhode  Island  Historical  Society. 
I  have  seen  it  and  j)osses8  a  certified  copy  of  the  same.  The  brother  of  Mr. 
Williams's  wife  is  there  written  Barnard,  not  Warnard,  and  the  letter  was 
not  well  copied  either  by  IMoses  lirown  or  Wm.  J.  Harris. 

Vk'm.  J.  Harris  was  not  nL;i)he\v  of  IMoses  Brown,  whose  third  and  last 
wife  was  boni  Phebe  Waterman.  She  then  married  a  J^ockwood,  and  this 
Mrs.  Lockwood  was  Wm.  J.  Harris's  grandmother.  I  was  led  into  error 
by  always  hearing  him  speak  of  Mr.  Brown  as  "  Uncle  IMoses." 

Yours  very  ti-uly,  Rohkkt  Harris. 

Mr.  Harris  also  sent  me  his  certified  copy  of  the  letter  with  a  note 
from  Mr.  (Jlarcnce  S.  Rriirjiaiii,  librarian  of  the  R.  I.  Historical 
Society  to  the  cllect  that  the  initial  letter  of  the  name  is  clearly  B. 
Another  name,  copied  OslUn  by  Moses  Brown,  is  written  Ostlers 
by  Harris.  The  letter  is  enchjrsed,  in  \\^illiam  Harris's  writing  : 
"A  copcy  of  a  letter  to  Capta[y  ?  jne  Deane  (soe  far  as  concerns  Roger 
AVilliams."  It  is  further  endorsed  in  tlie  writing  of  jNIoses  Brown 
and  of  his  amanuiMisis  :  "Letter  iVom  \X\\\.  Harris  to  Capt.  Deane 
1(!(>(!,"  and  also  "with  an  acci  of  K.  ^V.  conduct  towards  Wm.  H. 
—  Nov.  11,  IGGG,  this  year  lie  was  an  Assistant,  copyd  25tli,  3d  in.

Commissary  of  London  (Town  section),  Register  29,  folio  213. 

[This  early  be<iuest  for  a  library  for  New  England  alone  entitles  this  -will  to 
publicity.  The  testator  is  also  nearly  connected  with  our  early  families,  pos- 
sibly a  Ijrothcr-in-law  of  Ilcnry  Sewall,  sr. — L.  \V.] 

[The  testator  was  Captain  liiciiard  Hunt,  fourth  captain  in  the  Tied  Rei^iment, 
one  of  the  auxiliary  regiments  to  the  London  Train  15aiuls,  whicli  did  such  threat 
service  at  the  Battle  of  Newbury,  lu  this  he  was  slain  on  the  20  Sept.,  KM;!, 
and  was  buried  at  Nfwl)ury.  Tliere  is  no  record  of  his  burial  in  the  reiiister  of 
St.  Mary  Woolchurch  Haw  Church,  London,  Avhere  are  recorded  the  baptism  of 
his  children  by  his  wife  Jane  as  follows:  15  May,  1(J33,  Sarah;  15  Auir.,  lt^34, 
Kebecca;  1  June,  1G;3G,  Josiah ;  1  Aui,'.,  1G37,  Marie  (Ijur.  I'J  Apr.,  1(^38);  13 
Nov.,  I(i38,  Isaac;  II  Oct.,  l(>;i'J,  Tlionias;  L't  Dec,  1040,  Kathaiine;  7  Jan., 
1041,  Nathaniel;  8Fel).,  1G42,  Richard;  "  Shadrach,  son  of  Capt.  Richard  Hunt, 
bur.  5  Apr.,  1(U7."  Capt.  Hunt  was  a  confectioner  in  "  Bearebiiuler  Lane," 
which  was  in  Swithiii's  Lane,  Canuon  St.,  in  the  vicinity  of  the  clnnvii  of 
St.  Mary  Woolchurch  Haw,  which  was  burnctl  in  IGGU,  and  stood  formerly  near 
the  stock  market  on  the  site  of  the  Mansion  House.  After  that  date  tlie  parisii 
became  part  of  that  of  St.  Mary  Woolnoth,  which  stands  at  the  western  ends  of 
Lombard  Street  and  King  William  Street.  Richard,  son  of  Ricliard  Hunt,  was 
baptized  at  St.  Mary  Woolchurch  HaAv,  14  Feb.,  1584.  His  lirolher  Joim  Avas 
l)aptizeil  3  July,  158(5. 

Capt.  limit  was  a  member  of  the  IIonoral)lc  Artillery  Company  of  London. 
Under  the  dates  20  Sept.,  1031,  and  4  -Vug.,  1(;35,  the  name  of  Richard  Hunt 
ai>|>ears  on  lhel{oll  in  the  "  .Viicieut  Vellum  Hook"  of  the  company.  His  ••  best 
friend,"  ('apt.  Kdward  nilciuleld,  was  a  prominent  nuMnbta-  of  the  Artill.;ry 
Company  and  one  of  its  "Assistants"  in  1(;33;  he  \vas  also  of  St.  Mary  Wool- 
chureli  parish. 

John  Harvard,  who  died  14  Sept.,  1G38,  left  half  his  estate,  £770-17-2,  to  the 
college,  which  has  perpi.'tmited  his  name  by  adopting  it.  Tliis  example  induced 
many  to  make  contributions  to  the  college.  The  L:idy  Ann  Mowlson,  of  Lon- 
don, gift  of  i'lOO  was  in  1043.  The  be«]uest  of  £20  "by  Cai)t.  ILmt  "  to  New 
England  towards  a  lii)rary  "  was  probably  a  l)e<iuest  to  Harvard  College,  tlumgii 
I  fail  to  lliid  any  record  of  its  receipt.  As  a  member  of  the  Honorable  Artillery 
Company  of  London,  however,  he  may  have  heard  from  Major  Robert  Keayne 
of  his  desire  to  establish  a  library  in  Boston,  and  whieli  Keayne  did  by  his  will 
in  1G53,  and  beciueathed  "  to  the  Jinjinniiiij  of  that  Library  my  3  great  writing 
books."  In  regard  to  liis  Irish  Laiuls,  Hunt  ^vas  an  adventurer  in  the  same,  and 
sul)scribed  under  the  Act  of  17  Charles  I.,  Chap.  33,  the  sum  of  £(;00.  Two 
others  of  the  name,  Richard  Hunt,  subscribed;  one  was  a  mercer,  the  other  a 
skinner,  and  both  also  of  London. 

Tim  iurolments  of  their  certiticates  are  prcservctl  in  the  oUlce  of  the  Chief 
Remembrancer  of  the  K.\-che(iuer,  in  the  Dublin  Record  ( )mce,  at  the  Four  Courts, 
Dublin.  They  are  Roll  xiv.,  meudjrane  27;  Roll  xxviii,  mcnd)ran(!  15;  and

222  Notes  and  Queries.  [April, 

*'  In  the  death  of  Reverend  Edward  GritRn  Porter,  A.M.,  the  New-Eng- 
land Historic  Genealogical  Society  recognizes  that  a  great  loss  has  fallen  on 
it  suddenly — a  loss  that  can  hardly  be  made  good. 

For  tliirty  years  an  active  member  of  the  Society,  he  was  chosen,  but 
little  over  a  year  ago,  to  the  oilice  of  President,  to  which  he  brought  the 
wise  judgment,  the  clear  discrimination,  and  the  firm  yet  kijidly  manner 
which  always  marked  him. 

Distinguished  in  many  lines — pastor,  teacher,  administrator,  historian,  he 
was  ever  the  cheerful  worker,  the  graceful  writer,  the  careful  student,  the 
earnest  searcher  aft^r  truth :  but,  what  most  imjiresscd  those  who  came  in 
closer  contact  with  him  was  his  even,  sunny  di.sj)u.sition,  and  his  hearty  good 
will. 

^\liile  we  deeply  lament  oiu-  loss,  his  memory  we  shall  cherish  always." 

The  committee  on  Ancient  Grave  Yards  were  granted  authority  to  fill 
vacancies  and  to  add  to  their  uuiuber.

Hammond. — I  wish  to  correct  some  errors  in  Bond's  genealogical  account  of 
the  Hammonds  in  Waltham. 

John  Hammcmd  of  Waltham  (wliether  Bond's  No.  26,  or  No.  30,  I  am  uncer- 
tain) married,  in  Lancaster,  Nov.  3,  17G8,  Lncy  Powers,  born  Mar.  1!),  1748, 
dan.  of  .lonathan  and  Hannah  (Moie)  I'owers. 

Hannah  More,  dan.  of  .Icniatlian  More,  bajit.  May  21,  1710;  m.  Jonathan  Powers 
Dee.  17,  17:iO.     Jonathan,  sou  of  John  and  Ann  Moore,  b.  May  19,  1G()9. 

John  and  Lucy  Hammond  had  three  sons  and  perhaps  some  daughters.  Their 
sons  were:  1.  Jonas,  bapt.  Nov.  1,  177U.  2.  Jacob,  b.  M.ar.  11,  1775.  3.  Jon- 
athan, b.  Nov.  17,  1780. 

Bond  places  the  baptism  of  Jonas  after  the  birth  record  of  John  No.  26,  with 
a  (jnestion  mark  before  it. 

He  jjlaccs  Jacob  as  the  hrst  child  of  Ephraiin  and  Ruth,  notwithstanding  the 
fact  that  lie  was  born  nine  days  prior  to  their  marriage. 

Jonathan  he  does  not  mention. 

Of  these  cliiUlren,  Jonas  and  Jacob  removed  to  Ohio,  where  they  reared  families. 

Jonathan  married,  in  Guilford,  Vt.,  Nov.  18,  1801,  Prudence  Slater  (or  Slaf- 
ter),  and  removed  in  1804  to  Bainbridge,  Chenango  Co.,  N.  Y.  They  had  tea

I  wish  to  learn  more  about  the  family  of  John  and  Lucy  Hammond,  and  also 
get  any  information  relating  to  the  descendants  of  their  sons  Jonas  and  Jacob.

HoRSiNGTON. — In  vol.  xxxiii.,  p.  243  of  the  Rkgistkr  an  inquiry  was  inserted 
for  inform.'ition  of  the  aiicestors  of  John  Ilorsington,  1713,  of  Farmington, 
Conn.  I  received  but  two  replies:  these  had  little  new;  and  I  have  never  been 
able  to  deteruune  the  in(|uiry  there  made.  I  have  since  learned  of  a  John  Ilor- 
sington, a  soldier  1(176  in  Capt.  Samuel  Wadsworth's  Co.  of  .Mass.  Militia  (11kg., 
vol.  xl.  J).  39t'))  ;  also  of  a  .John  of  Wetherslield,  Conn.,  16S2,  a  signer  of  a  pe- 
tition Nvith  others  for  leave  to  make  a  settlement  in  the  Wabaciuaset  Country, 
or  possibly  intended  for  IMaltabeset  Country;  if  these  be  llie  same  persons,  or 
what  place,  I  know  not. 

Since  1875  1  have  been  collecting  material  as  to  the  descendants  of  John  Hor- 
sington,  1713,  of  Farmingt(Mi,  and  have  written  up  what  I  have  and  wish  to  place 
a  type-written  copy  in  the  Gen.  Library  for  the  benetlt  of  any  interested,  if  I 
can  be  allowed  to  do  so,  if  your  society  will  receive  the  same,  under  such  regu- 
lations as  you  receive  other  such  papers  ;  so  tluit  any  interesletl  nuiy  have  accesa 
to  the  matter  therein  containetl. 

A.  J.  Hoisington  of  Great  Bend,  Kansas,  is  collecting  material  for  a  Hoising- 
tou  fandly  history ;  I  have  furnished  him  all  I  have,  and  I  hope  for  his  work  en- 
tire success.  Almon  Kiudek.

Bauns-Baunics. — Deacon  Benjamin  Barns  of  Branford,  Conn.,  died  July  23, 
1740,  aged  69  (born  therefore  1671).  From  the  record  of  the  settlement  of  his 
estate  (Guilford  Prol)ate  Rec,  vol.  4,  p.  My)  and  the  original  receipts  of  his  lega- 
tees, Ave  learn  that  his  wife  (not  named)  survived  him.  She  was  probably  a 
second  wife,  as  records  show  she  receiveil  nothing  from  his  estate,  having  had 
her  dower  at  time  of  nuirriage.  The  probate  records  give  his  children  as  follows 
(dates  of  baptism  from  Branford  Church  Rec.) :     1.  Daniel.    2.  Eleanor,  bapt.

RoiJERT  Williams  of  Roxhuhy.— The  order  of  birth  of  the  four  eldest  chil- 
dren of  this  mau  ]i:is  liitlierto  Iji'eii  unknown.  Tlie  gravestone  of  Samuel  Wil- 
liams places  his  birtli  conjecturally  in  1032.  John  Vvilliams,  anotlier  scm,  died 
at  Koxbury,  G  Oetoht-r,  1058.  Tliis  son  was  baptized  at  St.  George  Oolegate 
pari.sli,  Norwich,  20  August,  IGuu,  maldng  him  over  23  years  old  at  date  of 
deatii.  This  date  of  baptism  seems  to  settle  the  status  of  tlie  two  daughters 
Elizabetli  antl  Deborah,  as  Robert  sailed  in  1G37,  and  Isaac,  his  son,  was  born 
ill  1(138.  The  dangliters  were,  tlierefore,  probably  oUler  than  Samuel  — or  one 
of  tiieni  was  so  —  and  botli  nmst  have  been  married  at  an  early  a^^e.  This  entry 
in  St.  George  Golegate  record  is  tlie  only  one  referring  to  this  family.  Tlie 
maternal  ancestry  of  Kol)ert  Williams  is  that  of  an  East  Anglican  stock.  Thus 
far  nothing  lias  been  found  to  sliow  any  basis  for  the  tradrtion  of  a  Welsh  an- 
cestry whicli  prevails  throughout  the  family.  Edw-^hd  H.  Williams,  Jr. 


TiiK  Hakleian  Society.— The  Annual  Meeting  of  the  Society  was  held  at  the 
Council  Room,  140  Wardonr  Street,  London,  W.,  on  February  22d,  George  E. 
Cokaync,  Esq.,  F.S.A.,  Clarenceux  King  of  Arms,  in  the  Cliair.  Tlie  Repoit  and 
Balance  Slieet  were  approved,  and  the  usual  business  transacted.  The  sup- 
port given  to  the  Society,  as  evidenced  by  tlic  number  of  members,  is  en- 
couraging to  those  interested  in  genealogical  research. 

"  The  Visitations  of  Surrey  in  1530,  1572,  and  1G23,"  edited  by  W.  Bruce  Ban- 
nerman,  Esq.,  forms  the  forty-third  volume  of  the  Society's  publications,  and 
has  been  i.ssued  to  the  Members  for  18'J'J.  It  Avill  be  followed  by  the  first  vol- 
ume of  "  Musgrave's  Obituary  "as  an  extra  volume  for  the  year  1899,  and,  if 
thu  funds  of  the  Society  will  permit,  it  Is  intended  to  issue  three  volumes  for 
the  year  1900. 

During  the  year  1899  the  first  volume  of  "  The  Register  of  St.  Martin  in  the 
Fields"  and  "The  Registers  of  St.  Paul's  Cathedral,"  edited  by  J.  W.  Clay, 
Esq.,  F.S.A.,  were  issued  to  the  Subscribers. 


Genealogies  in  Pkkpahation.— Persons  of  the  several  names  are  advised  to 
furnish  the  comi)ilers  of  these  genealogies  with  records  of  their  own  families 
and  other  infonnation  which  they  think  may  be  useful.  We  would  sugu'est  that 
all  fuels  of  interest  lUiislratiiig  family  history  or  character  be  communicated, 
espeeially  service  under  the  U.  S.  Government,  tin;  holding  of  other  ollices, 
graduation  from  college  or  professional  schools,  occupation,  Avith  places  and 
dates  of  l)irtli,  marriage,  residence  and  death.  AVlieii  there  are  more  than  one 
chrislian  name  they  should  all  be  given  in  full  if  possible.  No  initials  should 
be  used  when  the  full  munes  are  known. 

Lasacll,  Lat:cll,  La ■:cU.— The  undersigned  would  like  to  communicate  with  all 
descendants  of  John  Lassell,  llingham,  1G47,  or  with  any  other  persons  of  the 
name  for  a  genealogy  noAv  being  comiiiled.    T/ieo.  S.  Lazdl,  31  State  St.,  Boston, 

Puo/e.— Mr.  Murray  E.  Toole  of  Ithaca,  N.  Y.,  is  at  work  on  a  new  edition  of 
his  genealogy  of  the  family  descended  from  Edward  Poole  of  Weymoutli.  The 
late  Seth  Reed  of  Baltimore  made  au  extensive  collection  of  tlata  relating  to 
this  family,  wliicli  is  now  deposited  in  the  library  of  this  Society.  The  ances- 
try in  England  of  Edward  Poole's  wife  has  been  discovered  by  Mr.  William 
Prescott  ({reenlaw,  of  this  Society,  wlio  has  an  article  in  preparation  for  early 
publication.  Mr.  Greenlaw  has  compiled  a  genealogy  of  the  family  descended 
from  J()lin  I'oole  of  Reading,  and  i)ur|)oses  publishing  the  same  in  parts.  The 
late  Charles  Henry  I'oole  of  Washington  also  compiled  a  genealogy  of  the  Read- 
ing Poole  family,  which  will  be  used  in  connection  with  Mr.  Greenlaw's  work.

Mr.  Scccombe's  text-book,  like  its  predecessors,  displays  the  competency  of 
the  urller  selected  for  the  sul)ject,  and  cannot  fail  to  stinuilatc  interest  in  the 
fanions  names  under  consideration.  The  introdnclion,  a  concise  and  dis- 
criminating survey  of  the  half-century  allotted  to  the  volume,  is  an  instructive 
essay,  and  the  biographical  and  critical  elements  in  the  sketches  that  follow  are 
evenly  balanced,  the  sources  to  Miiich  the  author  modestly  attributes  the  merits 
of  the  l)ook  sliowing  the  comprehensiveness  with  which  the  materials  have  been 
studied.  An  unobtrusive  but  lucid  style  and  an  impartial  spirit  combine  to  art'ord 
us  objective  portraits  rather  than  the  subjective  impressions  which  often  are 
substituted  for  likenesses. 

A  chronological  table  in  two  columns,  one  of  works  published,  the  other  of  com- 
parative chronology,  is  a  condensation  of  European  literary  annals  of  the  years 
1748-171)1).     A  full  index  completes  the  work.

This  bililiograpliy  of  Brookline  is  the  fruit  of  the  spare  hours  of  Mr.  Bolton 
while  librarian  of  the  Brookline  Public  Library.     It  has  not  been  his  aim  to  in- 
clude all  the  procurable  notices  of  the  citizens  of  the  town,  nor  to  catalogue 
every  reference  to  it,  yet  the  work  actually  done  "will  be  pronounced  by  whoever 
examines  it  such  as  every  town  in  the  IJiuou  would  arilently  wish  might  be  per- 
formed in  its  behalf.     The  notes  are  rre(|uentan(l  very  useful.     Besides  pidjlica- 
tions  by  llie  town  and  those  relating  to  its  churches,  scliools  and  libraries,  such 
locally  important  family  histories  as  are  in  the  town  liljrary  are  admitted  to  the 
list.     -Mtliougli  tile  entries  are,  of  course,   in  al|)habctical  order,  tlie  librarian's 
instinct  suggested  the  addition  of  an  index,  lest  subjects  not  indicated  in  the 
body  of  the  work  should  escape  notice.     The  pamphlet  is  beautifully  printed.

Sunderland,  Franklin  County,  is  most  fortunate  in  having  public  spirited  citi- 
zens to  prepare  and  publish  its  lustory.  Sunderland  was  incorporated  in  1718, 
the  town  of  Montague  was  set  oil'  in  1753  and  tlie  town  of  Leverett  in  1771.  To- 
ilay  it  has  a  population  of  about  seven  hundred  inhabitants  and  a  valuation  of 
about  i;-;r)OM,U0().  It  is  mainly  a  farming  town.  Before  us  is  a  splendid  history, 
ricli  in  local  rendnisci'iice,  and  from  cover  to  cover  packed  with  information  re- 
l.iting  to  the  town  and  its  past  ami  present  fanulies.  The  town  has  reasons  to 
rejoice  in  the  carefulness  and  pains  of  Henry  W.  Taft,  Esq.,  whose  many  years 
liave  been  devoted  to  the  history  of  the  folks  of  Sunderland  and  supplemented 
by  the  industry  of  Miss  Al)bie  T.  Montague  who  entered  into  the  labors  Avhich 
Mr.  Taft  laid  down.  John  Montague  Sniitli,  Esq.,  prepared  the  historical  por- 
tions, and  it  is  done  witli  a  fullness  and  faithfulness  truly  refreshing.  All  in  all 
it  is  a  genuine  local  history.  Two  huudreil  pages  are  devoted  to  genealogies, 
tdpliabetically  arranged.  Its  genealogical  index  is  a  beauty.  The  service  of 
Sunilcrland  in  the  various  French  and  Intlian  Avars,  the  struggle  for  indepen- 
dence and  the  recent  war  Ijctween  the  States,  is  patriotic;  but  it  is  not  in  war 
only,  but  in  tlie  allairs  of  peace,  that  Sunderland  ranks  foremost.  Her  roll  of 
college  men  and  women,  her  citizens  who  liave  gone  to  founil  new  towns  and 
States,  Ijcaring  generous  spirits  with  them,  have  rellected  honor  and  fame  to 
the  humble  town.  Her  own  citizens  also  who  till  the  llelds  and  dwell  at  the 
homesteads  are  rellecting  creilit.  Her  schools,  her  public  library,  her  nninner 
of  caring  for  iiublic  allairs  and  |)rom()ting  weal  amongst  themselves,  is  most 
comniendabh!.  Tids  history  will  surely  llnd  its  way  to  the  libraries  of  our  nation 
and  to  the  homes  of  those  whose  kinsnuMi  have  shared  in  making  Sunilerland  a 
typical  country  town  of  New  England.

Foundations  of  Genealogy,  toith  Sugfjcs lions  on  (he  Art  of  Preparing  Records  of 
Ancestry.  I5y  William  Stowki.i.  Mills,  LL.B.  Moiiogniph  I'ubiishlng  Com- 
pany, N.  Y.     1809.     Sq.  12nio.  pp.  xii.-f270. 

Tlio  exalted  view  of  the  vocation  of  the  genealogist  presented  in  these  pages 
miglit  ha  considered  as  almost  too  ideal  were  it  not  plain  from  the  manner  in 
wliich  the  practical  details  are  handled,  tliat  the  antlior  is  intimately  acquainted 
with  his  subject,  as  well  in  its  particular  as  its  general  features,  and  can  as 
efl'ectually  help  in  the  drudgery  of  research  as  he  can  indicate  the  relation  of 
genealogy  to  history  and  even  to  the  law  of  evolution.  This  is  a  book  therefore 
■\vhicli  should  be  read  )jy  every  genealogist.  The  only  otlier  sinnlar  publication, 
W.  r.  W.  riiillimore's  "  How  to  Write  a  Family  History,"  Avas  designed  princi- 
pally for  investigators  in  England,  M'hereas  this  one  is  inspired  by  the  recogni- 
tion of  the  need  by  the  American  people,  as  a  part  of  their  education,  of  a  com- 
prehension of  genealogy  in  its  genuine  signillcance. 

The  science  is  discussed  in  all  its  important  bearings,  ranged  under  the  heads, 
•♦  Motives  for  Genealogical  Inquiry,  History  and  Genealogy,  Survey  of  the 
Field,  (iualillcations  of  tlie  Genealogist,  Number  and  Names  of  our  Ancestors, 
Genealogy  of  tlie  Family,  Sources  of  Information  and  Kecords  in  the  ]\Iother 
Country."  It  would  be  ditllcult  to  determine  which  of  these  subjects  is  best 
treateil;  the  chapter  on  "Sources  of  Information"  is,  perhaps,  the  one  of 
exceptionable  value,  as  it  is  also  the  longest. 

A  spirit  generously  api)reciative  of  the  labors  of  others,  and  a  style  similar  to 
that  which  is  s[)ecilk'd  as  one  of  the  merits  of  a  superior  genealogy,  are  notice- 
able (lualities  of  the  worlv.     The  indispensal)leness  attached  by  the  author  to  an 
index  is  exemplilied  in  tlie  good  one  with  which  he  has  furnished  his  handbook.

In  Memoriam.  Frederic  Walker  Lincoln.  [By  Mary  Knight  Lincoln.]  Bos-

Seven  times  elected  mayor  of  the  City  of  Boston,  and  all  his  life  serving  his 
fellow-citizens  in  positions  of  trust  and  responsiljility,  Frederic  Walker  Lin 
coin  was  a  man  who»e  nobleness  and  efiiciency  as  a  friend  of  humanity  could  best 
be  known  and  most  accurately  portrayed  by  one  possessing  the  intimacy  with 
him  enjoyed  l)y  his  daughter,  the  author  of  this  inspiring  memorial  of  a  lofty 
cluiractcr.  The  biographical  sketcii,  relating  tlie  events  of  his  career  with  clear- 
ness, admirable  simplicity  and  sulhciency  of  detail,  constitutes  the  body  of  the 
volume;  to  this  are  added  tlie  accounts  of  the  action  of  the  city  government 
relative  to  his  death,  and  of  the  burial  service,  the  address  of  Kev.  Thomas  Van 
Ness,  and  tributes  from  institutions  and  corporations. 

Let  all  Aviio  need  the  reinvigoration  derived  from  the  influence  of  an  ideally 
nnselllsli  per.>onality,  gratefully  peruse  tiie  record  of  one  who  loved  his  city

The  personnel  of  this  regiment  was  wholly  Catholic  Irish-American.     All  who 
read  the  record  of  its  acluinements  will  hv,  grateful  to  the  autiior  for  his  com- 
pllanci!  with  (he  urgent  ajipeid  of  liis  comrades  to  write  a  complete  and  atleiiuato 
history  of  a  body  of  men  which,  like  all  tlu^  regiments  of  the  (j^rand  Army  of 
the  Uepnblic,  is  fast  jtassiug  into  the  realm  ;vhere  the  historian  does  not  pene- 
trate.    Tlie  result  of  the  acquiescence  witii  this  ilesire  is  a  volume  pronounced 
by  the  regiment's  committee  on  iiistory  and  the  roster  to  be  in  agreement  with 
their  own  experience,  and  sanctioned  by  their  apjiroval.     iSIiniite,  statistical, 
anecdotal,  it  is  a  narrative  of  marclies,  bivouacs  and  battles  that  docs  justice  to 
the  patriotism  and  Ijravery  of  the  Irish  Ninth. 

Surpassing  all  the  exploits  of  romance  were  the  daily  adventures  of  these 
citi/,cii-S(ddiers;  and  by  the  blood  of  such  and  that  of  tlieir  lieroic  foes  was 
righted  at  hist  Ihe  wrong  that  sijrang  from  the  passion  for  lucre  and  the  lovoof 
case.

The,  First  llcglmfM  Massachusctls  Heavy  Artillery,  United  Statca  Volutite.ers,  in 
the  iSpiinis/i-AiHcrican  War  of  1S08.  By  Coi..  James  A.  Fryk.  With  llegi-

Tliis  military  record  incUules  no  battU'S  whatever,  unless  those  of  impatient 
spirits  witli  their  own  rebellious  impulses,  as  the  period  of  garrison  duty  was, 
to  their  disappointment,  prolonged  to  the  end  of  the  war,  when  all  opportunity 
for  action  was  irretrievably  lost.  Nevertheless  it  is  a  narrative  of  great 
interest,  and  the  service  performed  by  the  (Joast  Defence  was  in  every  sense  in 
keeping  with  the  past  achievements  of  the  men  who  partook  in  it.  Though  not 
at  the  "  front  "  in  the  usual  acceptation  of  the  word,  they  yet  were  there  in  its 
genuine  military  meaning,  according  to  \vhich  the-"  front"  is  the  place  where  an 
attack  is  considered  iunnincnt.  Ably  has  Col.  Frye  rendered  due  justice  to 
the  patriotism  of  his  regiment  by  detailing  the  employments  which  no  war 
correspondents  were  interested  in  and  no  nevvsi)apers  cared  to  report. 

A  chronology  of  the  war  closes  the  book.     The  illustrations  are  in  the  best 
style,  and  the  typography  fine.

This  is  the  second  in  the  series  of  "American  Men  of  Pinergy."  The  large- 
bodied  and  large-hearted  bookseller,  soldier,  statesman  and  master  of  "  Mont- 
pelier,"  grandiloipient,  gay,  rich  in  every  noblest  quality  of  manhooil,  is  here 
ilepicted  by  an  admirer  who  thoroughly  comprehentls  the  glorious  spirit  whose 
actions  herelates.  Since  the  publication  of  this  volume  there  is  no  longer  any 
justillcation  of  the  author's  complaint,  in  the  llrst  lines  of  his  work,  regarding 
tlie  iuconspicuousness  of  Henry  Knox  among  the  heroes  of  the  Revolution. 
What  may  be  called  the  emergence  of  the  "  Knox  Papers"  into  pui)licity  in  this 
form — since  they  were  the  principal  source  of  i\Ir.  Prooks's  materials — would  be 
welcomed,  one  can  ])elieve,  by  the  general  himself.  Almost  a  personal  afl'ection 
is  excited  by  such  a  biography  as  this,  together  with  the  undoubting  conviction 
that  its  subject  was  among  the  superior  ranks  of  those  beings  who,  in  the 
language  of  the  preamble  to  his  will,  "  are  perpetually  migrating  and  ascending 
in  ihe  scale  of  mind  acccM'diiig  to  certain  principles  always  founded  on  the  great 
basis  of  morality  and  virtue." 
The  exterior  of  the  volume  and  the  illustrations  are  alike  iu  good  taste.

To  all  who  desire  justice  rendered  to  the  red  man,  both  the  Indian  of  the  past 
and  the  present,  and  therefore  crave  unprejudiced  information  of  his  history  and 
character,  this  book  will  be  of  great  assistance  in  attaining  their  object,  and  will 
also  lill  them— as  do  all  the  anmils  of  our  unhappy  Indian  brethren— with  com- 
miseration and  remorse.  An  absorbing  story  is  iiere  told  :  The  sincere  conver- 
sion of  the  heart  of  an  Indian  to  Christ-like  goodness,  not  to  dogma  merely  ;  his  re- 
markable sense  of  the  imidications  of  the  doctrines  of  his  Master,  above  that  of 
his  co-laborers,  as  shown  in  Ids  condemnation  of  slaveholding  by  the  ministers  of 
the  Gooil  Tidings  ;  his  nnfortiniale,  but  unimportant  ami  very  excusable  fall  into 
intemperance,  tlie  example  of  the  clergy  being  an  encouragement  rather  than  a 
restraint;  his  visit  to  England,  his  many  trials  after  his  return,  and  the  fate  of 
his  poor  people  on  wiiom  he  had  spent  Ins  labors, — these  ar(;  all  treated  by  Mr. 
Love  in  a  manner  indicating  appreciative  sympathy  ■\villi  the  personage  of  his 
biograi)hy. 

Examples  of  the  text  and  music  of  Mr.  Occum's  Ilymu-Book  are  of  exceeding 
interest. 

Worthy  of  great  praise,  In  motive  and  execution,  is  this  portrayal,  in  the  colors 
of  truth,  of  a  man  wlio,  although  of  savage  ancestry,  gave  plainest  evidence  of 
possessing  by    inlnu'ltance  that   nature  receptive  of  the  good  seed  which  the 
Sower  himself  has  called  "  a  good  and  honest  heart."

It  was  a  happy  conception  iiil\Ir.  Clarke  to  weave  Into  one  volume  the  historical 
and  genealogical  delails  of  his  f(•ll()^v  citi/.ens,  whose  toml)Mtones  he  found  in  the 
various  grave)  ards  of  old  Ncidliain  and  vicinity.  'J'lu!  labor  and  car(;fid  veri- 
llcallon  of  names  and  dates  have  bec^ii  most  creditably  performed  and  give  to 
the  volume  an  authority  not  otherwise  in  print.  Since  1711,  when  Needham  was 
set  oil"  from  Dedham,  the  Smiths,  Fullers,  Parkers,  Mills,  Kingsburys,  Daniells 
and  Bacons  of  the  mother  town  have  discharged  the  duties  of' citizenship  with 
jadgmeut  and  to  the  beneht  of  the  child.  Mr.  Clarke's  familiarity  with  the  public 
records,  and  the  private  pedigrees  of  these  families,  has  enabletl  him  to  j)resent 
the  leading  facts  of  two  centuries  concisely  and  reliably.  The  tranciuillity  and 
contentment  of  a  well  conditioned  interior  town  pervades  the  whole  relation. 
The  resolution  and  confidence  with  Avhieh  a  moderate  population  met  the  chau"'- 
ing  vicissitudes  of  provincial,  revolutionary  and  Liter  periods,  are  plainly  shoAvn 
in  the  valuable  vital  statistics,  following  the  inscriptions,  which  in  sober  gravity 
"  the  rustic  moralist"  raised  to  the  perpetual  memory  of  the  loved  and  lost,  who 


are 


Wo  know  not  what — we  linow  not  where.' 


The  book  is  unique  and  without  precedent.  It  is  enjoyable  and  captivating; 
thoroughly  indexed  and  sure  of  preservation  in  the  leading  families  of  the  town' 
of  tlieir  kinsmen,  now  widely  scattered  and  found  in  every  State.  All  cherish 
an  abiding  pride  in  their  ancestry,  whose  simple  epitaphs  enforce  attention.

Clearness  of  style,  liberality  of  sentiment,  and  that  historical  sense  that  detects 
and  eti'ectively  presents  the  most  picturesque  incidents  and  the  most  striking 
features  of  character,  it  is  these  that  distinguish  these  records  of  the  foundation 
and  progress  of  the  ccjlonies  of  New  York  and  Pennsylvania.  The  subject 
certainly  invites  a  treatment  not  far  from  romantic.  Handled  by  the  ordinary 
writer,  itiso()ually  fascinating  and  instructive;  as  relleeted  from  the  mind  of  Mr. 
Fiske,  It  acquires  unusually  caiitivatlng  interest  and  broad  signillcance.  The 
Cosnuc  philosopher  was  sure  to  construct  a  brilllunt  story  of  the  people  of 
all  others  most  nearly  "  our  own  folks,"  and  of  the  sectarists  who  were  not  only, 
as  Mr.  Fiske  says,  the  most  Protestant  of  the  Protestants,  but  may  be  regarded 
as,  in  belief  and  practice,  the  most  Christian  of  the  Christians  of  their  time. 
The  events  and  i)ersons  of  the  narrative  are  of  such  importance  and  so  attrac- 
tively represented  that  one  perusal  will  scarcely  satisfy  the  reader  of  this  ncAV 
production  of  our  wise  and  heartily  hunuin  historian  and  essayist. 

Tlu're  are  two  appi  ndixes,  (he  llrst  consisting  of  eight  Leisler  documents,  the 
second  of  the  Charter  for  the  Province  of  Pemisylvaida,  lOHl. 

Ill  his  American  series  this  work  follows  Mr.  Fiske's  "  Begluuinija  of  New 
England."

What  was  said  of  Vol.  VIII.  of  this  Avork,  in  the  Hkoistku  for  Jan.  1899,  is 
equally  applicable  to  the  volume  last  issued.  Overcoming  all  the  difllculties 
encountered  in  i)rocuring  llrst-hand  information — dillicnlties  whicli  in  sonn;  in- 
stances niiiiht  be  called  appalling — and  contenting  themselves  with  nothing  less 
than  absolutely  accurate  details,  the  editors  have  pnnluced  another  example  of 
their  methoel  of  composing  history,  which,  if  it  is  true,  as  Ave  ha\'e  authority  for 
believing,  that  history  is  biography,  is  the  ideal  method  of  historical  composi- 
tion. Tresented  in  this  manner  we  have  an  exhaustive  account  of  the  Spanish- 
American  war  in  the  lives  of  the  principal  sharers  in  that  strife.  Civil  engi- 
neers, artists,  governors,  architects,  physicians,  surgeons  and  bishops  are  in  this 
volume  embraced  in  the  grouping  according  to  professions  to  which  allusion  is 
made  in  tlie  previous  notice.  It  also  includes  genealogical  records  gathered 
with  the  greatest  care,  the  correct  Choate  ancestry,  in  connection  with  the  life 
of  Hon.  Joseph  H.  Choate,  being  here  for  the  llrst  time  published,  it  is  said. 
Articles  on  colleges  and  universities,  with  their  presidents,  illustrateii  with  por- 
traits of  which  some  have  never  before  appeared,  contain  much  iuforniatiou 
nowhere  else  to  be  had. 

A  treasury  of  portraiture  the  series  should  emphatically  be  called,  the  greater 
part  of  the  likenesses  being  reproduced  from  photographs  taken  especially  for 
this  work.  Nearly  every  sketch  has  both  portrait  and  autograph  appended.

This  volume  meets  the  requirements  indispensable  to  a  place  among  the 
best  family  histories.  It  is  well  arranged,  contains  verbatim  citations  from 
original  documents,  is  printed  on  rag  paper,  and  has  a  complete  index.  Capt. 
Gortlon's  experience  led  him  to  search  the  registries  of  ileeds  and  of  i)robate,  rich 
mines  to  the  genealogist  anvl  biographer,  for  whatever  related  to  the  early  Emer- 
sons, and  we  have  thns  a  great  deal  of  valuable  matter  in  tins  l>(>ok.  There  are 
many  proljate  papers  given  in  fnll  and  verbatim.  Tlie  journal  of  the  liev.  Daniel 
Emerson  of  llollis,  whicii  relates  to  his  service  as  chaplain  of  liogers's  Uaiigers 
in  1755,  is  of  special  interest,  as  are  other  original  documents  (juoted.  Tliere 
are  many  biograpliical  sketches,  some  of  them  extensive,  an  essential  feature  of 
a  flrst  rate  family  history  in  these  days.  The  lx)ok  contains  twenty-eight  por- 
traits, and  a  mimber  of  other  illiisLrations  and  facsimiles  of  autographs.  Au 
nceouut  of  the  Ihiglish  Kmersons  precedes  that  of  the  American  family,  and 
while  It  contains  some  specnlations  as  tt)  the  origin  of  the  name,  etc.,  it  is  free 
irom  the  absurdities  tiiat  often  mar  this  portion  of  similar  works.  Any  one  who 
has  had  ex[)erience  with  a  genealogy  or.local  history,  long  in  press,  will  not  be 
suri)rised  to  learn  that  the  supplement  lllls  seventy  pages. 

Dr.  Kinerson  is  entitled  to  great  credit  for  adding  this  line  volume  to  the  num- 
ber of  printed  family  liislories,  and  he  has  bestowed  a  priceless  gift  upon  the 
descendants  of  Thomas  Emerson  of  Ipswich.  Much  praise  is  to  be  accorded  to 
the  assisting  editor,  Ca|)t.  Gordon,  who  arranged  tlie  material,  perfected  the 
records  and  read  the  proof.  Limited  space  prevents  special  comment  upon  the 
many  attractive  features  of  the  book.

and  feelinas  without  regard  to  the  opinions  of  others.  The  little  glimpse  of 
Increase  Mather's  life  and  character  whicli  is  here  given  to  us  carries  us  back 
to  the  early  days  of  New  England  and  shows  us  the  strong  foundation  on  which 
oui-  forefathers  ))uilded.  While  this  private  diary  gives  us  an  insight  into  a 
tvpical  individual  life  of  that  period,  the  extracts  from  a  more  compendious 
diary  covering  the  period  from  1('.74  to  Ifi.'^?,  with  which  the  pamphlet  concludes, 
tell  of  the  life  of  the  colony  at  large,  its  hopes,  fears  and  tribulations.  Mr. 
Green  is  of  the  opinion  that  Dr.  Belknap  made  his  extracts  from  a  diary  once 
in  the  possession  of  Thomas  Prince,  referred  to  by  the  latter  as  "  An  account 
of  memorable  things  in  New  England  from  l(i74  to  1087  inclusively,  written  by 
tlie  late  llev.  Increase  Mather  in  his  own  Hand."  An  additional  interest  attaches 
to  both  diaries  because  they  were  written  during  the  troul)lous  times  of  King 
Philip's  War.

The  First  Century  of  the  History  of  Springjield.  TJie  Official  Records  from  1636 
to  1736,  with  an  Historical  licview  and  Biographical  Mention  of  the  Founders.

Sprin'-lleld,  the  llrst  settlement  in  INIas.saehusetts  west  of  Boston,  with  whose 
beginnings  are  associated  William  Pynclion,  Matthew  Mitchell,  Henry  Smith, 
Jehu  Burr,  William  Blake,  Edmund  Wood,  Thomas  LIfford  and  John  Cable,  well 
deserves  the  careful  and  thorough  study  which  the  author  of  "  The  First  Century 
of  Springlleld  "  has  given  it.  The  result  of  his  work  is  a  great  contribution  to 
our  knowledge  of  early  New  England  history. 

Each  volume  opens  with  a  historical  review  in  which  the  history  of  the  settle- 
ment is  set  forth.  Included  in  the  llrst  review  is  the  book  by  William  Pynchon, 
entitled  "The  Meritcu'ious  Price  of  our  Redemption,  Justillcation,  etc.,"  on  ac- 
count of  which  he  was  obliged  to  leave  Si)ringlleld  and  return  to  England.  The 
book  was  condemned  by  the  General  Court  as  heretical  and  was  burned  in  Boston 
with  the  exception  of  a  very  few  copies.  As  William  Pynchon  was  the  leader  lu 
the  settlement  of  Springfield,  the  introduction  of  his  book  and  an  account  of  the 
trouble  which  it  caused  is  very  appropriate  in  a  history  of  Springfield.  A  chrono- 
logical summary  of  the  principal  events  noted  on  the  town  records  precedes  a 
careful  copy  of  those  records.  The  first  volume  covers  the  period  IGoG  to 
.  1G82,  including  volumes  I.  and  II.  of  the  original  records.  The  second  volume 
gives  the  records  from  10(;4  to  173G  as  they  appear  in  volume  III.  of  the  original 
town  records.  The  second  volume  closes  with  sketches  of  prominent  early  in- 
habitants, giving  three  generations  of  their  descendants.  Several  maps  show 
the  grants  to  tlie  first  setl:lers.  The  fine  illustrations  from  photographs  taken  by 
the  author,  and  the  numerous  reproductions  of  original  documents  anil  ol  auto- 
graphs of  the  early  settlers,  help  to  bring  the  places  and  peui)!.- m-n-  vividly  be- 
fore the  reader.  An  unusually  full  index  of  topics  and  nameo  accomiianies 
each  volume,  and  is  one  more  evidence  of  the  accurate  care  with  whicli  the 
work  was  compiled.  It  is  greatly  to  be  regretted  that  the  author  of  so  valuable 
a  iiistory  could  not  have  been  spared  to  carry  on  his  good  work  still  farther.

As  Manomet,  or  South  Plymouth,  was  settled  as  early  as  1639,  the  cemetery 
whose  epitaphs  are  here  presented  was  doubtless  in  use  very  early.  The  date 
of  the  earliest  epitaph,  however,  is  1717.  Eighty-six  graves  are  marked  with 
atones.  The  inscriptions  upon  all,  except  three  winch  could  not  be  decipliered, 
are  copied  verbatim  and  presented  in  this  pamphlet  in  as  nearly  their  original 
form  as  they  cau  be  printed.  This  is  an  interesting  aud  valuable  work,  well

There  is  probably  no  source  of  genealogical  information  in  Massachusetts, 
■which  has  been  so  much  neglected  by  compilers  of  family  histories,  as  the 
records  of  the  county   courts.      That  these  records  contain  any  genealogical 
data  other  than  the  returns  of  vital  statistics,  seems  to  have  been  known  only 
to  a  few.     In  some  cases  the  returns  of  vital  recorils  have  been  pul)lished,  but

warned  them  out  and  made  a  return  of  the  warning  to  the  connty  Court  of 
Quarter  Sessions.  The  large  number  of  returns  made  to  the  eourts  indicate 
that  the  selectmen  were  zealous  in  guarding  the  towns  from  liability  of  sup- 
porting any  who  might  become  town  charges.  It  is  a  mistake,  liowever,  to  as- 
some  that  all,  or  even  a  large  proportion,  of  the  persons  named  in  these  warnin"-s 
were  "  poor  and  indigent,"  as  the  law  made  no  distinction,  and  it  is  a  fact  that 
many  named  were  emiueutly  respectable  and  often  became  influential  in  town 
all  airs. 

The  volume  before  us  contains  all  Avarnings  appearing  upon  the  records  of 
Worcester  County  from  17:57  to  178H,  arranged  ali)hal)etically  by  towns.  It  is 
excei-dmgly  valuable  to  genealogists,  furnishing  genealogical  data  relating  to 
more  tliau  a  thousand  surnames,  often  giving  the  names  of  children  which"  are 
not  fountl  elsewhere,  and  frequently  giving  the  occupation  and  former  resi- 
dence of  those  warned.  A  good  index  of  surnames  renders  the  data  available 
for  quick  reference. 

The  same  good  qualities  that  characterize  the  former  publications  of  Mr.  Rice 
are  lound  in  this  volume.

Additions  and  Corrections  to  Sumner  Genealogy.     [By  William  Sumneu  Avi'lk- 
TON.]     To  January,  1900.     8vo.  pp.  3. 

Wo  continue  in  this  number  our  (juarterly  notices  of  genealogical  works  re- 
cently published. 

In  the  sections  following  the  introduction,  which  arc  chapters  relating  to  the 
English  Antecedents  of  American  Hents,  the  Family  in  America,  Memorials 
Quaint  and  Olden,  the  Family  in  War  and  the  Family  in  Peace,  Mr.  Bent  has 
related  the  story  of  a  notable  pioneering  race,  whose  spirit  of  adventure,  ex- 
ploration and  hardihood  he  considers  as  its  distinctive  trait.  Certain  it  is  that 
evitlences  of  the  frefjuinit  Bcnit  "treks"  are  traceal)le  in  nearly  every  part  of 
tlic  United  States.  The  books,  manuscripts  and  memorial  relics  which  fas- 
cinated the  attention  of  the  author  have  been  nuide  by  his  zeal  contributory  to 
an  ample  family  history,  animated  by  biographical  and  traditional  details,  and 
furnishing  proof  of  tiie  intelligent  manner  in  Avhich  the  llfteen  years  of  its 
composition  have  been  employed.  The  arrangement  of  the  materials  is  chiefly 
after  the  Rkgistkr  plan.  The  indexes  arc  in  every  respect  adequate,  and  the 
pajier  and  type  excellent. 

The  three  parts  of  the  Bailey  Genealogy  are,  respectively,  accounts  of  James 
Bailey  of  Uowley,  John  Bailey  of  Salisbury,  and  Thomas  Bailey  of  Weymouth, 
and  some  of  their  descendants.  The  compilers  are  genealogical  connnittees  of 
the  Bailey-iJayley  Association.  They  have  fully  attained  the  object  which  they 
proposed  to  tliemselves,  viz.:  the  arrangement  according  to  a  scientitlcally 
genealogical  method,  resembling  that  adopted  by  the  New-England  Historic 
Genealogical  Society,  of  the  materials  they  have  collected,  an  arrangement 
adapted  both  for  the  preservation  and  future  enlargement  of  the  data  respecting 
the  family.  Besides  tlie  usual  features  of  an  ancestral  record,  a  new  one  is  in- 
troduced in  this  work,  that  is,  the  addition  of  page  references  to  names  in  small 
type.  The  editor  is  not  mistaken  in  the  value  he  accredits  to  this  novelty;  the 
saving  of  time  to  the  investigator  accomplished  by  this  means  consists  in  the 
case  with  which  one  llnds  the  number  of  a  page  rather  than  that  of  a  name.  A 
very  thorough  index  compresses  the  substance  of  the  book  into  sixty-four  pages. 
The  paper  is  good  and  the  type  clear. 

Upon  the  death  of  the  author  of  the  Dickey  Genealogy  before  the  publication 
of  his  work,  his  widow  put  in  the  hands  of  the  publishers  the  manuscript, 
which,  exceedingly  useful  to  all  of  the  mime  as  its  contents  must  prove,  lacks 
the  conipletion  Avhieh  added  years  would  have  permitted  its  compiler  to  impart 
to  it.  It  rect)rds  the  posterity  of  William  Dickey,  who  came  from  Ireland  to 
Londonderry,  N.  II.,  a  few  years  before  1730.  The  book  is  divided  into  three 
parts,  each  comprising  the  descendants  of  one  of  the  children  of  the  immigrant. 
Anecdote,  character-portraiture  and  extended  narrative  color  these  pages  with 
a  vivid  interest,  showing  the  unfailing  relish  of  the  author  in  his  task.  Faces 
of  what  seems  to  be  the  large,  thoroughly  incarnated  Dickey  type  furnish  the 
greater  part  of  the  illustrations.  Three  indexes  contain  the  whole  name,  and, 
in  the  case  of  the  Dickeys,  the  birth-date,  of  every  person  mentioned  in  the  book. 
The  Ilaines  Memoir,  although  designed  principally  as  a  life  of  Richard  Haines, 
nevertheless  embraces  everything  relating  to  the  theme  which  might  prove  at- 
tractive to  those  not  primarily  interested  in  the  biography,  such  as  the  important 
details  in  the  history  of  the  Baptist  church  —  not  elsewhere  to  be  found  —  con- 
nected with  the  excommniucation  of  Richard  Ilaynes  from  that  communion,  as 
also  the  social  and  economic  aspects  of  tiie  reign  of  Oiiarles  II.  incidentally  af- 
foriled.  Six  chapters  out  of  sixteen  are  appropriated  to  the  Memoir;  the  others 
contain  the  facts  resjxieting  the  ancestors  and  posterity  of  Rlchanl  which  have 
been  collected  in  a  thorough  investigation  of  the  sources  of  information.  It  is, 
indeed,  in  the  account  of  the  descendants,  which  the  author  alllrms  to  be  "  full," 
that  the  work  acquires  its  genealogical  value.  Among  those  descendants  was 
Gregory  Ilaines,  who  went  to  South  Carolina  to  trade  with  the  Indians,  and 
married  Alice  Ilooke  at  Charleston.  The  book  abounds  in  interest  to  the  gen- 
eral reader,  and  to  those  who  inherit  the  blood  of  the  man  who  is  its  subject  it 
must  be  esteemed  a  priceless  possession.  Its  letterpress  is  excellent  and  its 
binding  lil<e\vis(^     Fine  illustrations  anil  an  index  enlarge  its  merits. 

An  account  of  the  Marvin  Fandly  is  contained  in  the   "  FanUly  Histories  and 
Genealogies"  of  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Edward  E.  Salisbury.     In  it  Is  a  notice  of  the

discovery,  by  Mr.  William  S.  Apploton,  of  a  reference  to  Reynold  Marvlne,  of 
Iviiuisoy,  Ehscx,  found  in  the  will  of  John  Lucas.  There  was  no  time  to  thorou;i;hly 
follow  out  tlie  liiiit  thus  obtained  before  the  publication  of  the  Salisburys'AVork. 
Since  tlK'U  the  services  of  Mr.  Walter  K.  Watkins  have  been  employed  for  the 
examination  of  the  llegisters  of  8t.  Miehad  at  Uamsey,  and  St.  Mary  at  Great 
]5enlley,  Kssex,  in  whicli  latter  Parish  he  discovered  the  desired  records.  Wills 
furnished  by  Mr.  Ileni'y  F.  Waters  and  those  procured  at  the  Somerset  House, 
Lonchin,  and  among-  the  Sullblk  Wills  recorded  at  Ipswich,  are  here  printed, 
generally  in  fidl,  and  always  in  the  original  ortliography.  Ey  tids  means  there 
Jias  been  establislied  beyond  doubt  the  line  running  to  the  great-grandfather  of 
the  emigrants.  To  the  genealogical  facts  has  been  added  an  account  of  the 
Knglisii  liomes  of  the  Marvins,  their  playgrounds,  their  places  of  ■worship,  and 
the  clergymen  who  miinstered  to  them.  The  letter-press  and  binding  are  good, 
and  full  indexes  are  supplied. 

When  the  Lee  Genealogy  was  published,  in  1897,  it  was  known  that  there  was 
a  great  number  of  descendants  of  whom  no  record  could  be  obtained.  The  ellbrts 
of  the  compiler  of  that  work,  aided  by  the  secretary  of  the  Lee  Association,  and 
the  Rev.  William  H.  Lee,  have  resulted  in  the  i)roductiou  of  a  Supplement  whose 
contents  are  "corrections,  changes,  births,  marriages,  deaths,  etc.,  reported 
since  the  publication^new  discoveries,  with  an  addition  of  nearly  1,000  names, 
extensive  additions  to  the  '  roll  of  honor,'  of  those  who  have  served  in  the 
various  wars  of  the  country." 

In  the  Tyler  pamphlet  the  Ilistorical  Article  by  W.  I.  T.  Brigham  is  of  great 
genealogical  impcnlauce.  Speeches  in  response  to  the  toasts.  Col.  M.  W.  Tyler's 
address  on  President  Tyler,  "  visitation,"  researches  at  Washington  and  per- 
sonals occupy  the  remainder  of  the  report. 

Mr.  Haley's  book  otters  in  equal  proportions  the  memoranda  he  has  gathered 
concerning  the  four  fanulies  mentioned  on  the  title  page.  No  complete  record 
of  any  of  these  fanulies  has  been  undertaken  by  the  author;  his  collections 
show,  however,  that  he  has  made  extensive  researches,  and  will  be  of  value  to 
those  making  inquiries  into  the  posterity  of  Thomas  and  Andrew  Hale,  Nathaniel 
Piper,  C^apt.  Walter  Neal,  and  George  flicker.     The  book  Is  fully  indexed. 

The  McKay  genealogy  traces  the  descendants  of  Donald  McKay  of  Tain,  Rosa 
County,  Scotland,  giving  also  the  names  arrangetl  by  fandly  groups,  by  genera- 
tions ulpliabetically,  and  by  generations  in  the  order  of  birth.  The  book  is  well 
bound  and  in  clear  type. 

The  W'ickluim  pamphlet  gives  the  pedigree  of  that  family  from  Richard  de 
Stokes,  and  also  contains  the  results  of  researches  respecting  the  Wickharas  of 
Rowley,  Mass.,  and  of  Wetherslleld,  Conn.,  as  also  respecting  the  crest  and 
armorial  bearings. 

The  Greenwood  record  is  that  of  the  services  of  the  descendants  of  Nathaniel 
and  Samuel  Greenwood  of  Boston  and  Thomas  Greenwood  of  Newton,  Mass., 
each  of  tlu;  names  being  followed  i)y  those  which  connect  it  with  the  above. 

Tlie  name  at  the  head  of  the  Vauglian  Clnirt  is  William,  died  IC'.IS,  of  Bally- 
boe,  near  Ciomnt'l,  in  Tipperary,  Ireland.  The  fanulies  recorded  are  descendants 
of  William  tlu'ough  his  son  Benjamin  and  grandson  Sanuiel  Fuer,  who  married 
Sarah  Hollowell,  daughter  of  Benjamin  HallowcU  of  Boston.  The  descent  is 
brought  down  to  as  late  a  date  as  1893. 

The  Chamberlain  circular  is  that  of  the  Chamberlain  Association  of  America, 
of  which  a  genealogical  bureau  has  been  established  Avith  George  W.  Chamber- 
lain of  Weymouth,  i\[ass.,  as  bureau  secretary,  to  whom  all  genealogical  cor- 
respondence should  be  addressed.  To  this  is  attached  a  blank  for  application 
for  membership.  The  circular  is  accompanied  by  a  genealogical  blank  for 
copies  of  which  members  are  re(piested  to  send,  tiiat  they  may  liU  it  out  with 
such  facts  as  tiiey  possess  and  return  it  to  tlie  bureau.  The  bureau's  record 
book  is  so  arrangeii  that  each  member  may  be  ti'aced  back  ten  generations. 
The  bureau,  therefore,  besides  publishing  from  time  to  time  a  sketch  of  the 
general  results  of  its  investigation,  will  undertake  special  researches  for  in- 
dividual members  on  such  terms  as  may  be  made  with  the  secretary.  The  data 
thus  olttained  Avill  be  tabtdated  in  a  genealogical  chart,  whose  admirable  con- 
struction— as  is  evident  from  the  copy  with  the  circular — will  render  it  very 
valuable  to  the  recipient.

HON.  AMOS  TERRY,  LL.D. 

J5y  Clarknce  Saundkus  BuiaiiAM,  Esq.,  of  I'rovidonce,  R.  I. 

Amos  PEiajY  was  bom  in  tlic  vill:igc  of  South  Nutlck,  Mass., 
August  12,  1812,  and  died  suddenly  in  New  London,  Conn.,  Au- 
gust 10,  1899.  lie  was  the  son  of  Elijah  and  Mary  (Jones)  Perry, 
and  was  seventh  in  descent  from  John  Perry,  who  arrived  in  Boston 
in  1G31,  and  became  a  freeman  of  Jvoxbury  in  1G33.  Ilia  ancestors 
were  all  made  of  that  rugged  New  England  stock  which  placed 
obedience  to  law  and  regard  for  religious  institutions  as  the  highest 
duties  of  man.  Ilis  whole  ancestry  seems  imbued  with  a  high  moral 
character  and  with  strict  subservience  to  the  admonitions  of  con- 
science. His  father,  Elijah  Perry,  was  an  honored  and  trusted  yeo- 
man of  Natick,  and  one  of  the  founders  of  the  uldest  Christian  So- 
ciety and  Church  in  that  town.  He  was  a  man  who  believed  in 
farming  as  a  means  of  attaining  health,  wealth  and  wisdom ;  read 
agricultural  papers  and  made  agricultural  experiments ;  tried  to 
make  farmers  of  all  his  boys,  and  failed  in  every  case.  Mr.  Perry's 
grandfather  was  Samuel  Perry,  who,  though  he  witnessed  enough  of 
the  horrors  of  combat  in  seeing  persons  scalped  alive  during  the 
French  and  Indian  war,  yet  immediately  volunteered  as  a  private  in 
the  Revolution,  and  marched  from  Natick  on  the  alarm  of  April  19, 
1775. 

On  the  maternal  side  he  was  a  descendant  of  Lewis  Jones,  who 
came  to  this  country  about  IG 10,  settled  in  Roxbury,  and  removed 
to  Water  town  in  1G50.  John  Jones,  his  great  grandson,  and  the 
grandfather  of  Amos  Perry,  was  a  most  influential  man  in  Natick,

24G  Ainos  Ferry.  [July, 

\w\x\'^  successively  school  tcaclier,  civil  engineer,  colonel  in  the  mili- 
tia, proprietors'  clerk,  justice  of  the  peace,  and  president  of  the 
Court  of  General  Sessions  for  Norfolk  County,  lie  was  the  "  Sheriff 
Jones  and  member  of  the  House  of  Lords  "  of  Mrs.  Stowe's  now  al- 
most for<i;otten  novel,  "  Oldtown  Folks,"  and  at  his  death  left  a  man- 
uscript book  of  judicial  decisions  and  also  a  "Book  of  Minutes,"  the 
latter  of  which  was  printed  by  Mr.  Perry  in  1894. 

Amos  Perry  obtained  his  early  schooling  in  the  district  school  of 
Natick,  the  "  old  red  school-house,"  as  he  called  it  in  later  days.  A 
curious  incident  led  him  to  cherish  ambitious  dreams  of  a  college 
education  and  a  wider  sphere  of  activity.  When  he  was  sixteen  he 
came  across  a  book  entitled  "  Degerando  on  Self-Education,"  in 
which  the  doctrine  was  laid  down  that  moral  and  intellectual  culture 
was  a  matter  of  the  first  moment ;  and  when,  after  this,  reflecting 
upon  the  ways  and  means  of  obtaining  such  culture,  he  came  across 
a  guide-board  inscribed  "  To  Cambridge  Colleges,"  he  saw  how  to 
obtain  the  object  of  his  desire.  Although  it  was  somewhat  against 
the  wishes  of  his  father,  who  believed  tiiat  "  college  learning  spoils 
the  boys,"  he  prepared  for  Harvard  in  the  family  school  of  Ivev. 
Daniel  Kimball,  a  graduate  of  Harvard  in  1800  and  for  many  years 
principal  of  the  Hingham  Academy. 

His  entrance  into  college  life  can  best  be  told  In  his  own  words, 
as  he  recollected  those  events  over  half  a  century  later.  "  My  first 
knowledge  of  Cambridge  College  was  in  the  month  of  July,  1833. 
My  teacher.  Rev.  Daniel  Kimball,  had  three  pupils  to  present.  His 
son,  Benjamin  Gage  Kimball,  was  one  ;  James  Pichardson,  the  son 
of  a  distinguished  lawyer  of  Dedham,  was  another ;  and  I  was  the 
third.  ^Ve  arrived  at  five  or  six  o'clock  in  the  afternoon  at  Porter's 
Tavern  in  Cambridge.  After  breakfast  the  next  morning  Ave  went 
over  to  University  Hall,  where  we  met  thirty  or  forty  other  students, 
and  underwent  the  ordeal  of  an  examination.  My  two  schoolmates 
were  admitted  unconditionally,  but  I  was  required  to  undergo 
another  examination  in  Latin  prosody.  I  knew  more  about  the 
farm  and  farm  work  than  I  did  about  Latin  and  Greek  roots.  I  ap- 
peared in  the  room  of  our  class  tutor,  McKean,  at  the  appointed 
time,  to  undergo  a  re-examination  in  Latin  prosody.  He  began  by 
having  me  scan  different  passages  in  Virgil,  and  explain  poetic  feet. 
How  J  did  it  I  do  not  know  ;  but  I  found  there  a  man,  now  some- 
what known  through  the  country,   Charles  Sumner.     He  kept  quiet

a  while,  but  not  long.  While  McKcau  was  giving  eonie  of  his  ideas 
about  Latin  verse,  Sumner  took  him  u^),  saying  :  '  Here,  1  do  uot 
agree  with  you.'  They  got  into  a  discussion  with  each  other,  and  I 
got  off  pretty  easily."  Mr.  Perry  recalled  nmch  that  happened  dur- 
ing his  college  career,  and  often  would  talk  in  a  most  interesting 
numner  of  the  eminent  men  who  were  then  connected  with  the  Col- 
lege,— the  elder  Quincy,  Ware,  Story,  Sumner,  John  Quincy 
Adams,  Webster,  Everett,  Sparks  and  Channing.  Like  many  of 
the  other  students  of  the  period,  he  taught  school  in  the  vacations, 
teaching  in  all  thirty-four  weeks  during  his  college  course.  lie  was 
a  member  of  the  Hasty  Pudding  Club,  and  at  one  time  its  librarian ; 
and  also  belonged  to  the  Institute  of  1770,  a  literary  and  debating 
society. 

He  was  graduated  from  Harvard  in  18o7  ;  other  members  of  his 
class  being  Kichardll.  Dana,  Horatio  Hale  and  Henry  D.  Thoreau. 
He  always  took  a  lively  interest  in  all  the  class-gatherings,  from 
which  he  was  rarely  absent,  except  during  his  residence  abroad. 
The  class,  at  graduation,  put  away  a  bottle  of  wine,  to  be  drunk  at 
the  50th  anniversary  in  1887,  at  which  time  there  were  seven  to 
drink  it,  ]\Ir.  Perry  being  one  of  them.  "Though  older  than  some 
of  us,"  said  one  of  his  classmates,  "  there  is  not  one  of  our  number 
who  enjoys  a  greener  old  age,  or  who  preserves  the  hearty  genial 
character  of  his  youth  in  a  greater  measure  than  he."  At  the  din- 
ner of  the  Harvard  Club  of  Ivhodc  Island  a  few  months  before  his 
death,  ]Mr.  Perry  was  an  honored  guest,  and,  after  his  interesting 
talk  on  old  Harvard  days,  his  health  was  drunk  standing. 

After  leaving  Harvard,  he  canie  to  Rhode  Island,  and  opened  a 
classical  school  at  Fruit  Hill,  North  Providence,  holding  also  the 
position  of  postmaster  for  that  town.  He  remained  there  until  1840, 
when  he  became  principal  of  the  Summer-street  Granunar  School, 
where  he  remained  for  twelve  years.  At  this  time  he  began  to  take 
interest  in  the  cause  of  public  education,  and  during  the  latter  part 
of  this  period  served  as  a  member  of  the  school  committee  and  also 
as  county  inspector  of  public  schools.  When,  in  1850,  a  Didactic 
Department,  the  germ  of  our  i)resent  Normal  School,  was  estab- 
lished in  Brown  University,  Mr.  Perry  was  appointed  on  the  com- 
mittee regulating  that  department.  He  was  one  of  the  founders 
and  prominent  movers  of  the  liliode  Island  Institute  of  Instruction, 
being  successively  Director,  Corresponding  Secretary   and  Treas-

248  Amos  Perry.  [July, 

iirer.  At  the  second  annual  meeting  in  1852,  he  presented  a  most 
able  report,  exhibiting  practical  views  of  Teachers'  Institutes  and  of 
the  importance  of  a  Normal  School,  and  taking  elevated  ground  con- 
cerning teaching  as  a  profession.  It  closed  with  an  earnest  invita- 
tion to  "  the  citizens  of  the  State  to  continue  to  co-operate  in  pro- 
moting the  prosperity  of  that  cause  which  underlies  all  the  great 
interests  of  the  State,  and  is  the  foundation  and  pillar  upon  which 
rests  the  broad  fabric  of  our  republican  institutions — the  intelligence 
and  virtue  of  the  people." 

He  made  more  than  one  trip  to  Europe  during  his  long  life.  His 
first  journey,  begun  in  1852,  covered  the  greater  part  of  two  years, 
and  was  partly  spent  in  visiting  institutions  of  learning  in  England 
and  on  the  Continent,  and  reached  as  far  as  Egypt  and  Palestine. 
After  returning  from  this  tour  he  took  charge  of  a  school  for  young 
ladies,  on  the  retirement  of  the  principal.  Dr.  Kingsbury,  but  in 
1858  he  relinquitihed  the  position  into  the  hands  of  Professor  Lin- 
coln and  took  up  teaching  in  the  Bartlctt  High  School  in  Na-w  Lon- 
don. 

It  was  while  he  was  visiting  Europe  for  the  third  time,  in  April, 
18G2,  that  he  received  his  appointment  as  Diplomatic  and  Consular 
Agent  at  Tunis.  He  assumed  charge  in  July,  and  held  the  position 
for  over  five  years.  During  this  period,  he  devoted  nmch  time  to  a 
study  of  the  history  and  anti(|uities  of  the  country,  embodying  his 
labors  later  in  a  volume  entitled  "  Carthage  and  Tunis,  Past  and 
Present,"  a  book  criticised  as  showing  "  great  research,  learnin<i-  and 
observation."  WhUc  in  Tunis  he  interested  himself  in  collecting 
memorials  of  John  Howard  Payne,  a  predecessor  in  the  office,  who 
had  died  at  his  post  ten  years  earlier;  and,  after  nuich  correspon- 
dence with  AVilliam  Cullen  Pryant,  he  was  able  to  forward  to  the 
relatives  of  the  deceased  his  diaries  and  other  literary  remains,  loo- 
ting that  Payne's  grave  was  in  a  neglected  condition,  he  feelingly 
appealed  to  the  American  press,  and  a  fund  was  soon  raised  to  re- 
move the  remains  of  the  author  of"  Home,  Sweet  Home"  to  Wash- 
ington, where  interment  was  had  in  the  Congressional  cemetery. 

One  important  episode  of  j\lr.  Perry's  consulship  was  the  coming 
to  this  country  of  the  Tunisian  Embassy  in  18G5.  JNIr.  Perry  ac- 
companied the  Ambassadors,  who  brought  with  them  a  portrait  of 
the  Bey,  with  letters  of  condolence  on  the  death  of  President  Lin- 
coln.    The  mission  dee[)encd  Iricndly  relations  between  the  United

States  and  Tunis,  and  the  larger  portion  of  the  credit  was  due  to 
Mr.  Perry.  The  Ambassadors  visited  Providence  among  other 
places,  remaining  there  for  two  days.  They  visited  the  public  insti- 
tutions of  the  city,  Brown  University,  various  manufacturing  estab- 
lishments, and  other  points  of  interest ;  were  received  by  Mayor 
Doyle  and  Governor  Smith,  as  well  as  entertained  by  other  citizens, 
and  went  away  highly  pleased  with  all  that  they  had  seen,  having 
themselves  made  a  most  favorable  impression.  In  tlie  speech  which 
Mr.  Perry  made,  thanking  the  city  in  their  name,  he  well  said  : 
"  Tlicre  are  virtues  to  be  found  in  them  which  I  sincerely  wish  we 
possessed.  The  most  cultivated  among  us  can  learn  of  them.  They 
do  not  call  themselves  Christians ;  yet  I  have  learned  lessons  of 
jjatience,  for])e:irance  and  kindness,  in  their  society,  which  I  be- 
lieve I  shall  remember  to  the  end  of  my  life." 

In  liSGG  a  flue  portrait  of  AVashington  was  sent  to  Tunis  by  our 
Government  and  was  presented  formally  by  Mr.  Perry.  It  was 
hung  in  the  Bey's  palace,  together  Avith  portraits  of  Tunisian  and 
European  sovereigns,  where  it  still  remaiuH  to-day. 

During  his  period  of  service,  which,  with  one  exception,  was 
longer  than  that  ever  held  by  any  other  commissioned  consul  to  that 
post,  he  was  most  faithful  and  industrious  in  the  performance  of  his 
official  duties.  In  the  latter  part  of  186G,  he,  together  with  other 
public  agents  representing  tlie  United  States  in  foreign  countries, 
became  the  victim  of  an  anonymous  letter,  known  as  the  "  McCrackin 
Letter,"  .addressed  to  President  Johnson,  and  containing  the  vilest 
calumny  directed  against  several  of  the  ministers  and  consuls.  Its 
language  was  coarse,  its  assertions  were  shameless  falsehoods,  its 
spirit  was  that  of  a  disappointed  and  malicious  office-seeker.  INfost 
gentlemen  would  have  thrown  this  mass  of  venomous  fabrications 
into  the  waste-basket ;  but,  strangely  to  the  discredit  of  the  executive 
department,  a  i'ormal  note  was  sent  to  several  of  the  persons  men- 
tioned In  the  letter  respecting  some  of  the  odensive  expressions,  and 
asking  them  to  deny  or  confirm  the  rumors.  Like  any  other  patriotic 
and  high-spirited  man,  Islv.  Perry  justly  felt  himself  insulted,  prompt- 
ly resigned  his  position  and  returned  to  this  country.  lie  always 
remained  very  friendly  to  Secretary  of  State  Seward,  his  informal 
dinner  with  that  official,  just  after  his  return,  being  one  of  the  [)leasant- 
est  e[)isodes  of  Ins  life.  I  believe  that  he  somewhat  regretted  his 
impulsive  step  in  later  life,  realizing  that  a  man  of  character  and

probity  is  always  safe  against  the  contemptible  accusations  of  a  reck- 
less slanderer. 

On  returning  from  Tunis,  Mr.  Perry  again  took  up  his  residence 
in  Providence,  where  he  spent  the  remainder  of  a  remarkably  active 
and  useful  life.  Always  interested  in  the  study  of  hiytory,  he  had 
joined  the  Khode  Island  Historical  Society  in  1858  and  had  ever 
shown  himself  as  one  Avho  thoroughly  believed  in  its  aims.  In  1873 
he  was  elected  Secretary  of  the  Society,  besides  being  continued  as 
a  member  of  several  committees.  Upon  the  resignation  of  Rev. 
Edwin  M.  Stone  as  Librarian  in  1880,  Mr.  Perry  assisted  the  newly 
appointed  Library  Committee,  and  in  the  following  year  was  chosen 
Librarian.  When  he  entered  upon  his  task,  he  found  the  Society 
weak  in  resources  and  lacking  in  enthusiasm,  the  library  uncata- 
logucd  and  scarcely  aceessilde.  Under  his  administration  the  collec- 
tions were  properly  arranged,  and  a  practically  new  building  was 
erected.  In  addition  to  his  other  duties,  lie  also  kept  the  office  of 
Secretary,  and  had  menibershi[)  on  several  committees.  For  nearly 
twenty  years  he  worked  with  an  intense  and  unflagging  devotion 
that  could  have  upon  the  Society  only  one  effect — increased  interest 
and  sure  prosperity. 

In  1885  Mr.  Perry  entered  upon  his  last  great  public  service — the 
preparation  of  the  1885  census  for  Ivhode  Island.  It  was  a  task 
wliieh  would  have  reflected  credit  upon  any  man,  and  which,  for  one 
of  his  age,  was  truly  remarkable.  Few  State  censuses  have  ever 
contained  so  much  individuality  as  this  ;  its  local  and  geographical 
dates  are  of  great  value  to  the  student,  and  the  many  historical  notes 
scattered  throughout  will  make  the  volume  consulted  long  after  its 
statistics  have  been  superseded.  The  work  as  a  whole  was  so  well 
performed  that  the  Legislature,  although  opposed  to  him  politically, 
voted  him  a  richly  deserved  additional  sum  in  recognition  of  iiis  labors. 

The  Census  of  1885  and  the  history  of  Carthage  and  Tunis,  pre- 
viously mentioned,  were  his  largest  works.  But  he  found  time, 
during  his  busy  life,  to  write  other  books  and  pamphlets,  chiefly  of 
a  historical  nature.  Among  these  may  be  mentioned  the  "Memorial 
of  Zachariah  Allen,"  1883  ;  "  Some  New  England  Almanacs,"  1885  ; 
"  Col.  John  Jones  of  Dcdiiam  and  his  paternal  ancestors  in  America," 
1890;  "  An  official  tour  along  the  Eastern  coast  of  the  Regency  of 
Tunis,"  lHi)l  ;  and  "Book  of  minutes  of  Col.  John  Jones,"  1894. 
He  also  contributed  many  articles  to  periodicals  and  newspapers,  hia

"Reminiscences  of  old  days  at  Harvard,"  published  in  the  Boston 
Transcript  last  June,  arousing  much  interest  among  the  graduates  of 
the  old  university.  For  seven  years  he  was  editor  of  the  Quarterly 
Publication  of  the  Rhode  Island  Historical  Society,  and  brought  out 
in  that  magazine  many  important  historical  articles,  not  the  least 
valuable  of  which  were  his  own  contributions.  His  article  on  the 
extent  and  condition  of  the  town  I'ccords  of  the  State  is  still  a  most 
valuable  guide  to  the  searcher  for  original  material,  and  his  paper  on 
the  Kiiode  Island  Society  of  the  Cincinnati  brought  to  light  an  insti- 
tution that  had  lonfij  been  lost  &\)x\\i  of,  but  which  has  since  been  re- 
vived  and  reorganized.  The  publication  committee,  in  taking  up 
his  work  just  after  his  decease,  remarked  that  "  with  his  usual 
promptitude  and  New  England  'forehandedness'  he  had  at  the  time 
of  his  death,  two  months  before  the  time  for  the  October  issue,  made 
ready  nearly  all  its  contents,  and  seen  the  greater  portion  through 
the  press."  And  this  promptness,  this  intense  zeal  and  untiring 
industry,  were  characteristic  of  all  that  he  did.  That  so  much 
youthful  energy  and  enthusiasm  could  be  manifested  by  a  man  of  so 
advanced  an  age  is  truly  one  of  the  things  most  to  be  wondered  at 
and  envied  in  his  life. 

]Mr.  Perry  married,  August  28,  1838,  Elizabeth  Anastasia  Phette- 
place,  the  daughter  of  Eber  and  Waite  (Irons)  Phetteplace,  a  de- 
scendant of  Philip  Phetteplace  of  Portsmouth,  R.  I.,  and  on  her 
motlicr's  side  of  Roger  Williams,  (Jregory  Dexter  and  Richard 
Waterman.  She  with  one  daughter,  ]Mrs.  Helen  E.  I*.  Kendall, 
widow  of  P.  Redfield  Kendall,  survives  him. 

In  1811,  oidy  four  years  after  his  graduation  from  Harvard,  Mr. 
Perry  received  the  honorary  degree  of  A.M.  from  Brown  University, 
and  in  1888  thatofLL.U.  from  Griswold  College.  He  was  also 
an  honorary  member  of  the  Phi  Beta  Kappa  Society  of  Harvard,  and 
of  the  Rhode  Island  Society  of  the  Cincinnati,  and  a  corresponding 
member  of  the  American  Ethnological  Society,  the  American  Geo- 
grapliical  Society,  and  of  the  Massachusetts,  New  York,  Virginia, 
Georgia,  INIaine,  AVestern  Reserve  and  Chicago  Historical  Societies. 
He  was  also  a  vice-president  of  the  American  Institute  of  Instruc- 
tion, of  the  Universal  Peace  Union,  and  honorary  vice-president  for 
Rhode  Island  of  the  Numismatic  and  Antiquarian  Society  of  Phila- 
delphia. He  was  also  interested  in  many  local  institutions  and 
societies.

2f52  A7nos  Perry.  .,  ['Tuly, 

When  a  man  of  such  varied  attainments  and  activities  as  Amos 
Perry  departs  from  this  life,  the  community  in  which  he  lived  and 
worked  nmst  keenly  feel  the  loss.  Endowed  with  a  mind  of  more 
than  ordinary  capacity,  and  possessed  with  a  purpose  to  do  always 
that  which  he  thought  was  riglit,  his  life  was  an  inspiration  to  those 
who  truly  knew  him  and  were  able  to  understand  his  character. 
There  was  a  candidness  in  his  speech  and  an  abruptness  in  his  manner 
that  often  led  those  who  knew  him  least  to  believe  that  he  lacked 
affability.  But  let  once  the  barriers  of  a  cursory  acquaintanceship 
be  broken  do\Yn,  then  one  could  scarcely  find  a  man  of  more  kind 
and  genial  disposition,  a  more  true  and  generous  friend.  Of  strong 
and  impulsive  nature  himself,  he  greatly  admired  similar  qualities  in 
others.  Ouce  in  speaking  of  President  Quincy  of  Harvard,  he  said, 
"  I  liked  the  man.  lie  was  brusque  and  decided,  giving  no  quarter 
to  violators  of  the  law.  However  unpopular  his  views,  he  uttered 
them  boldly  and  manfully ;  and  however  disliked  as  a  politician,  he 
was  respected  as  a  man." 

Tiu'oughout  his  whole  life  Mr.  Perry  was  a  staunch  Unitarian,  a 
member  ot  the  Westminster  Ciuirch  in  Providence,  and  for  many 
years  Superintendent  of  the  Sunday  School  there.  Keligion  with 
him  was  a  matter  of  life  and  conduct,  aided  by  a  profound  reverence 
for  the  sacred  Scriptures,  and  by  a  strong  unwavering  faith.  As  a 
friend  remarked  a  few  days  after  his  death,  "  His  religion  was  full 
of  humanity  as  of  godliness.  It  was  full  of  kindness  toward  the 
afflicted,  the  depressed,  the  Avronged  and  the  needy." 

He  was  possessed  of  a  mind  wliich  was  far  more  broad  and  liberal 
than  that  of  many  a  man  not  half  so  advanced  in  years.  He  was  as 
much  interested  in  current  affairs  as  in  past  history,  looked  ever  on 
the  bright  side  of  things,  and  always  scorned  the  idea  that  great  age 
and  incompetence  are  generally  associated.  No  matter  how  the 
weight  of  years  pressed  upon  him,  he  continued  to  manifest  his  wonted 
zeal  and  even  cHcited  tliat  same  spirit  in  others.  His  wliole  life  and 
work  should  be  an  inspiration  of  energy  and  enthusiasm  to  us  in 
whatever  work  we  undertake.

Weetamoe.  261 


WEETA]\IOE :  A  NEW-ENGLAND  QUEEN  OF  THE 
SEVENTEENTH  CENTUKY. 

By  Miss  Viuoini.v  BAKiiu,  of  Warren,  11.  I. 
IlFii  kiivnlom  was  but  a  narrow  strip  of  territory,  her  subjects 
only  a  handful  of  untutoretl  savajres.      lUit  her  duniain  was  fan-  and 
fertile,  her  people  loyal,   and  never  was  royalty  worn  with  a  more 
royal  oraee  than  by  this  dusky  princess  of  the  pruncval  forest. 

The'^  story  of  her  life  was  chronicled  by  her  enemies,  but  even 
hostile  pens  could  not  conceid  the  truth.  The  history  of  Weetamoe 
is  more  than  the  record  of  a  conquered  savage.  It  is  the  history  ot 
a  woman  in  whose  character  were  blended  some  of  the  best  and 
some  of  the  worst  elements  that  make  up  human  nature— a  woman, 
the  echo  of  whose  passionate  heart  beats,  throbbing  through  the 
centuries,  possesses  power  to  stir  tlie  dormant  pulses  of  to-day. 

^yeetnmoo  was  born  to  royalty.      She    was    the    daughter  ot   a 
prince  and  became  the  consort  of  a  king.      She  loved  authority  and 
well  knew  how  to  wield  it.      She  was  proud,   imperious  and  selt- 
reli-mt       If   as  is  supposed,  her  father  was  the  sachem  Corbitant,  iier 
marked  pensonality  may  well  be  attributed  to  heredity.      Corbitant 
was  one  of  the  most  renowned  chiefs  under  the  great  Wampanoag 
sachem,  Massasoit  of  Pokanoket.      His  headquarters  were  at  Matta- 
puyst  or  Mattapoiset,  in  the  southern  part  of  what  constitutes  the 
present  town  of  Swansea,  ^rassachusctts,  and  were  but  a  lew  miles 
distant  In.m  the  Indian  village  of  Sowams,*  tiie  pnncq)al  residence 
of  iMassasoit.      Unlike  his  ilhistrious  siq>erior,   Corbitant  regarded 
the  arrival  of  the  English  settlers  at  Plymouth  with  fear  and  jealousy. 
In   1021   he  was    suspected  of  ph)tting  with  the  Narragansetts  to 
overthrow  lAlassasoit,   who  had    coneludc'd  a  treaty    with  the  new 
comers.      At  Namasket   (Middleborough)   he  attacked  a  house    m 
which  were  Uobbamoek  and  Stpianto,  the  two  natives  employed  by 
(he  Kii'dish  as  guides  and  interpreters,  capturing  the  latter  ;   lor  he 
said  "if  S.iuanto  were  but  dead  the  white  men  would  have  lost  their 
ton.rne  "     He  threatened  to  stab  Hobbamock  ;   but  he,  being  strong 
and'^aoilc,  made  his  escape  and  hastened  to  notify  Covernor  liradtord 
of  Scpianto's    danger.     The  Governor  immediately  dispatched   the 
dou"hty  Captain  Standish  to  the  rescue;   but  u[)on  arriving  at  Na- 
masket  he    found  that    Corbitant  had  fled  to  iMattapoiset  without 
carryinrr  his  threats  against  Squanto  into  execution.      Alarmec    at 
the  turn  of  ail'airs,  the  wily  Corbitant  employed  ^lassasoits  aid  m 
making  his  peace  with  the  Enghsh,  "  but,"  says  15radford     was  sine 
to  conie  neare  them  a  longe  while  after."  ^ 

On  the  occasion  of  ^^^inslow's  second  visit  to  Massasoit,  m  lb2.:5, 
he  was  entertained,  during  his  homeward  journey,  by  Corbitant, 
whom  he  .leseribes  as  "a  notable  politician,   yet  full  of  many  squibs

and  jo8ts,  and  never  bettor  pleased  than  when  the  like  are  returned 
ai^^ainst  him."  As  a  host  he  appears  to  have  excelled,  for  AVinslovv 
adds  that  he  "never  had  better  entertainment  amongst  them  all." 
A  strong  mind,  such  as  Corbitant  possessed,  could  hardly  have  failed 
to  exert  an  influence  in  moulding  the  character  of  others.  Weeta- 
moe,  even  if  not  his  daughter,  was  probably  allied  to  him  either  by 
the  ties  of  consanguinity  or  marriage.  It  is  not  improbable  that  a 
dislike  of  the  English  was  early  implanted  in  her  breast  by  the  fierce 
and  prescient  sachem. 

Of  AVectamoe's  early  history  little  has  been  discovered.  In  1651 
she  was  known  as  Kununumpaum,  and  was  the  wife  of  an  Indian 
called  Wccquc(piinc(]ua.  As  "  hcire  apparent  and  trewe  inheritor" 
of  the  territory  now  included  within  the  limits  of  the  town  of  Tiver- 
ton, R.  I.,  she  enjoyed  the  title  of  "  squaw  sachem"  or  "  queen"  of 
Tocasset.  In  16r)()  she  had  become  the  wife  of  INIassasoit's  eldest 
sou  ^^'amsutla,  and  calh'd  herself  Tiifapanum.  Four  years  later 
W'amsutta  succeeded  to  tli<>  chief  saehemship,  and  she  found  herself 
oceuj)ying,  as  queen  of  the  AV'anq)anoag  tribe,  a  ])Osition  which  her 
haughty  and  ambitious  nature  well  qualified  her  to  sustain  with  dig- 
nity. 

For  some  years  previous  to  jMassasoit's  decease,  Wamsutta  was 
associated  with  his  father  in  the  Wanq)anoag  government.  Imme- 
diately upon  l>ecoming  sachem  he,  rei)aii-ed  to  I'lymouth,  and  "pro- 
fessing great  respect,"  requested  that  English  names  might  be  be- 
stowed \\\wn  him  and  his  brother.  The  Court  accordingly  ordered 
that  for  the  future  he  should  be  known  as  "Allexandcr  Pokanokett," 
and  his  brother  as  "Philip,"  the  names  having  been  selected  it  is 
supposed,  in  honor  of  Alexander  the  Great,  and  Philip  ofiMacedon. 
They  presented  him  with  a  few  pounds  of  gunpowder,  and,  appa- 
rently satisfied,  he  departed  for  his  own  country. 

In  IGoU  Wamsutta  had  joined  with  Massasoit  in  renewinfr  the 
treaty  of  peace  with  the  Plymouth  government  which  had  been 
entered  into  in  1621.  Put  during  the  years  that  elaj)sed  between 
this  date  and  the  death  of  INIassasoit,  the  relations  between  the 
Indians  and  the  white  men  had  gradually  changed.  Everywhere  the 
latter  were  encroaching  upon  the  territory  of  the  former,  sometimes 
by  the  most  unscrupulous  means.  Wamsutta  would  have  been 
wanting  in  both  intelligence  and  patriotism  had  he  failed  to  become 
alarmed  at  the  situation  of  his  people.  It  needed  no  prophetic  vision 
to  foresee  the  ultimate  ruin  of  the  aboriginal  races,  unless  something 
w^ere  done  to  check  the  rapidly  increasing  power  of  the  English. 
Despite  the  "great  respect"  professed  by  him  to  the  Plymouth 
('ourt,  Alexander  was  soon  suspected  of  plotting  with  his  hereditary 
enemies  the  Narragansetts  against  his  white  neighbors.  He  was 
summoned  to  Plymouth  to  answer  the  charges  preferred  against 
him,  but  when  the  Court  met,  it  is  said  that,  instead  of  attending  it, 
he  paid  a  visit  to  the  JS'arragansett  sachem.      Thereupon  Governor

Vincc  " aseemljlod  his  counsiillora  iiiul,  ulh^r  (l(;lil)oruti()n,  ordered 
diijor  Winslow,  afterwards  governor  oC  the  eoloiiy,  to  take  an  armed 
>and,  go  to  Mount  Hope,  Keize  Alexander  by  suri)ri8e,  before  he 
oidd  rally  his  warriors  around  him,  and  take  him  by  force  to  Ply- 
iioiith."  ^yinslovv,  accomj)anied  by  ten  men,  immediately  set  out 
or  l\)kanoket,  and  when  about  midway  between  Plymouth  and 
Jrldgewater  imexpe.;tedly  discovered  Alexander  at  a  lodge  whither 
le  ami  a  number  of  his  people  had  re[)aired  for  the  pur|)08e  of  huiit- 
ng  and  fishing.  C'autiously  a[)[)roaching  the  hut,  AVinslow's  men 
ecured  the  guns  of  the  Indians,  which  were  all  stacked  outside  ; 
hen  entering,  informed  the  sachem  of  the  purpose  of  their  visit. 
Uexandcr  protested  his  innocence,  indignantly  refusing  to  submit 
0  arrest,  whereupon  Major  AVinslow  presented  a  j)ietol  to  his  breast, 
idling  him  sternly  that  "if  he  stirred  or  refused  to  go  he  was  a  dead 
nan."  The  disnrmed  warriors  were  powerless  to  assist  their  chief, 
nd  Alexander  w;is  compelled  to  yield  to  the  inevitable.  Accom- 
anied  by  a  Inrge  retinue  of  his  braves  and  a  number  of  women, 
mong  whom  was  AV'eetamoe,  he  set  out  for  Plymouth.  The 
,'cather  was  intensely  hot  and  a  horse  was  tendered  him,  but  he  re- 
used to  ride,  saying  that  he  was  as  well  able  to  walk  as  his  wife  and 
er  attendants.  At  Duxbury  the  party  halted  to  await  orders  from 
Tovernor  l^rince.  JNTajor  AVinslow  received  Alexander  into  his  own 
ouse,  and  entertained  him  courteously  for  several  days.  P)Ut  the 
aughty  spirit  of  the  savage  chief  could  ill  brook  the  indignities 
ea[)ed  upon  b.im.  A  burning  fever  seized  him  which,  despite  the 
ledical  treatment  furnished  by  his  captors,  increased  to  an  alarming 
xtcnt.  Fearing  his  death,  the  Indian  warriors  entreated  permission 
)  take  their  sachem  home,  promising  to  return  with  him  as  soon  as 
e  should  recover,  and  oiFering  his  son  as  a  hostage.  The  C'ourt 
ceeded  to  their  request,  and  placing  the  unfortunate  chief  upon  a 
tter,  they  mournfully  started  upon  their  homeward  journey.  But 
le  ssichem's  hours  Avcre  numbered.  Clrief,  wounded  pride  and  de- 
pair  all  combined  to  crush  his  heart,  and  betbre  half  the  way  was 
■aversed  his  anguished  spirit  burst  its  mortal  bonds.  The  emotions 
f  his  followers  can  hardly  be  realized.  A  terrible  suspicion  filled 
very  breast — a  sus{)icion  that  the  death  of  their  king  was  due  to 
oison  secretly  administered  by  his  foes.  AA'^as  it  strange  that 
Weetamoe  should  believe  her  husband's  enemies  his  murderers  ?  The 
uldenness  and  magnitude  of  her  misfortune  naturally  deprived  her 
f  the  power  of  reasoning  dispassionalely.  "Who  knew  so  well  as 
le  the  nature  of  the  intrigues  in  which  Alexander  had  been  con- 
?rned?  A\'ho  more  fully  comprehended  the  motives  that  might 
iive  induced  the  English  to  rid  themselves  of  a  formidable  foe?  As 
le  bent  over  the  lifeless  form  of  the  hapless  chief  perhaps  her 
lemory  recalled  half  forgotten  words  uttered  long  before  by  Corbi- 
uit,  that  "notable  politician,"  whose  prophetic  vision  saw  in  the 
lute  man    the    despoiler    and  destroyer  of   Ids  race.     None  may

fatliom  the  depth  of  anguish  that  flooded  the  80ul  of  the  unhappy 
woman.  The  bitter  cup  of  adversity  hehl  but  a  single  drop  of 
Bweetnees — the  tiiought  of  revenge.  That,  alone,  had  power  to 
mitigate  her  grief.  With  all  the  strength  of  her  passionate,  un- 
tutored nature  she  dedicated  her  life  to  the  sacred  piu'pose  of  aven"-- 
ing  her  husl)and's  untimely  end. 

J>ut  true  to  her  sex  and  her  race  slie  dissembled  her  feelings.  She 
did  not  long  remain  a  widow,  but  married  an  Indian  named  (^uique- 
quanchett  and  took  up  her  residence  upon  her  own  territory,  Po- 
casset.  Concerning  (^uiquequanchett  nothing  definite  seems,  thus 
far,  to  have  been  discovered.  It  seems  probable  that  he  did  not  live 
long  after  his  marriage  to  Weetamoe.  The  thrice  widowed  squaw 
sachem  next  contracted  a  matrimonial  alliance  with  Petownonowit, 
conunonly  nick-n;uncil  by  the  Kuglish  "Ben."  l*ctownonowit 
appears  to  have  been  posseasetl  of  considerable  ability,  and  became  a 
prominent  figure  during  Philip's  war. 

The  mutual  disagreements  that,  in  1G75,  culminated  in  an  out- 
break of  hostilities  between  Indians  and  English  are  too  fiimiliar  to 
re(piire  recapitulation  in  these  })ages.  Like  his  brother  and  pre- 
decessor Alexander,  I'hilip  saw  in  the  increase  of  English  power  the 
downfall  of  ins  own  ])cople.  lie  planned  the  extermination  of  the 
white  men,  and  could  he  have  followed  out  the  line  of  policy  which 
his  sagacity  enabled  him  to  formulate  the  results  migiit  have  been 
fateful  to  the  English  cause.  Philip  possessed  an  infinite  degree  of 
patience.  No  man  better  knew  how  to  serve  by  waiting.  But 
P!iibi)'s  counsellors  and  warriors  were  cast  in  a  diil'erent  mould. 
They  neither  could  nor  would  restrain  their  im[)atience  to  be  avenged 
upon  their  enemies.  They  thirsted  for  English  blood.  They  lacked 
the  pers[)icacity  necessary  to  a  eom[)rehension  of  the  wise  and  sub- 
tle statccratt  practised  by  their  far-seeing  leader. 

The  sunnner  of  lb? 5  found  Weetamoe,  who  seems  to  have  been 
predestined  to  misfortune,  in  one  of  the  most  paini'ul  positions  a 
wouian  can  occupy.  She  was  then  as  "  Queen  of  I'ocasset "  at  the 
height  of  her  power,  "as  potent  a  sachem  as  any  round  her,"  being 
able  to  rally  to  her  side  no  less  than  three  hundred  warriors.  Her 
subjects  were  loyal  to  her  and  to  the  meujory  of  their  dead  kin")- 
Wamsutta.  But  one  thing  rent  her  haughty  spirit.  Petownonowit 
relused  to  lend  her  his  su[)[)ort  and  allied  himself  with  the  foes  of  his 
race.  Weetamoe  thus  found  herself  compelled  to  renounce  either 
husband  or  country.  Another  woman  might  iuive  displayed  weak- 
ness at  such  a  crisis,  but  Weetamoe  did  not  falter.  Disdain- 
fully she  repudiated  him  whom  she  deemed  a  traitor,  and  linked  her 
fate  with  that  of  her  people.  So  becoming,  in  the  words  of  an 
ancient  chronicler,  "  next  unto  Philip  in  respect  to  the  mischief  done." 

'I'he  prc;mature  outbreak  of  liostiiities  in  Swansea,  on  Sunday  the 
20th  of  June,  lb75,  was  Ibllowed  by  a  succession  of  massacres  and 
conflicts,  the  horrors  of  which  no  pen  can  adecpiatcly  portray.      At

all  times  and  in  all  HcaaonB  Pliilij)  was  the  ii\H[)irin^  genius  of  his 
pco[)le.  lli.s  old-time  enemies,  the  Narragansettw,  now  ranged  them- 
selves beside  him  against  the  eoinmon  foe.  The  alliance  was 
strengthened  by  the  marriage  of  AVeetamoe  to  Quiimapin,  a  nephew 
of  the  famous  jNIiantonomi,  and  a  cousin  of  Canoiu'het,  then  reigning 
sachem  of  the  Narragansetts.  (^uinnapin  is  descrilxHl  by  an  old 
hifitorian  as  a  "lusty  young  sachem."  He  was  one  of  Philip's  chief 
captains  and  participateil  in  the  attack  on  Tjancastcr,  Feb.  10,  1G76. 
On  this  occasion  the  wife  of  the  l\ev.  floseph  Kowlandson  was  taken 
captive  and  sold  as  a  slave  to  C^uinnapin,  in  whose  service  she  re- 
maiHcd  until  redeemed  by  her  friends.  To  her  we  are  indebted  for 
a  striking  pen  portrait  of  the  "Queen  of  Pocasset."  "  INfy  master," 
she  narrates,  "had  three  squaws  .  .  .  Onux,  this  old  squaw  at 
whose  wigwam  I  was  .  .  .  Another  was  Wettimore  with  whom  I 
had  lived  and  served  all  this  time  ...  A  severe  and  proud  dame 
was  she  ;  bestowing  every  day  in  dressing  herself  near  as  much  time 
as  any  of  the  gentry  of  the  land — powdering  her  hair  and  painting 
her  face,  going  with  her  necklaces,  with  jewels  in  her  ears  and 
bracelets  U[)on  her  hands  .  .  .  When  she  had  dressed  herself  her 
work  was  to  make  girdles  of  wampum  and  beads." 

In  imagination  (nie  may  almost  behold  the  dusky  princess,  arrayed 
in  barbaric  magnificence,  seated  in  royal  state,  plying  her  dainty 
task.  We  may  well  believe  that  her  white  hand-maiden  had  good 
reason  to  pronomiee  her  both  proud  and  severe.  ^Vhat  thoughts 
swelled  within  her  breast  as  her  deft  fingers  threaded  her  "  wampum 
and  beads"?  Did  she  not  live  over  again  the  scene  of  Wamsutta's 
death?  Did  nt)t  her  face  cloud  with  grief,  and  anger  and  hatred  as 
memory  traversed  the  past?  And  did  not  her  daik  and  luminous 
eyes  llash  witii  exultation  at  the  promise  of  the  future?  If  doubt  or 
fear  chilled  her  heart  it  was  only  for  a  moment.  Why  should  she 
despond?  Was  not  Philip  a  mighty  leader  in  battle?  Were  not 
his  warriors  all  brave,  his  captains  all  men  of  renown?  Had  not  the 
tomaiiawk  done  a  bloody  work  at  Swansea  and  lirookfield,  at  Xorth- 
field,  and  Lancaster,  and  Deerfield?  And  had  not  the  torch  laid 
waste  village  and  hamlet  and  farmstead?  Ah,  not  in  vain  had  slie 
waited  so  patiently  through  the  dreary  years  !  The  long  looked  for 
day  of  reckoning  had,  at  last,  arrived.  She  would  live  to  see  her 
enemies  crushe<l  beneath  her  feet  even  as  they  had  sought  to  (.'rush 
her  and  her  peo})le  !  And  AVamsutta,  so  cruelly  nuuxlered,  would 
be  avenged  ! 

To  encourage,  to  strengthen,  to  inspire  her  followers,  this  was 
Weetamoe's  j)art  in  the  great  drama  enacted  about  her.  At  a  dance 
given  by  the  Indians  in  conunemoration  of  the  Sudbury  fight  she 
appeared  in  the  l)rave  attire  befitting  her  rank.  "  She  had,"  says 
Mrs.  Kowlandson,  "  a  ICersey  coat  covered  with  girdles  of  wampum 
from  the  loins  upward  .  .  .  Her  arms  Irom  her  elbows  to  her 
hands  were  co\ered  with  bracelets;  there  were  handfuls  of  necklaces

about  her  neck,  and  several  8orts  of  jewels  in  her  ears.  She  had  fine 
rod  Htockings  and  wliite  shoes,  her  hair  powdered  and  her  tace  painted 
red."  Tiu-oii<^h  the  fantastic  intricacies  of  the  dance  she  moved, 
haughty,  passionate,  exultant,  all  the  wildness  of  nature  in  her 
motions,  all  the  fervent  devotion  of  a  woman  in  her  heart ! 

But  the  day  of  iier  glory  was  fast  drawing  to  a  close.      Not  even 
the  genius  of  Philip  could  cope  witli  the  civilization  of  his  opponents. 
The  early  triumphs  of  the  Indians  were  followed  by  terrible  reverses. 
The  rude  but  persuasive  eloquence  of  Benjamin  Church  converted, 
as  if  by  magic,   the  bitterest  foes  into  friends.     The  red  man  was 
hunted  from  swamp  to  forest  like  a  wild  beast,  by  his  own  brothers. 
Poverty  and  hunger  induced  many  to  surrentler  in  the  hope  of  pro- 
louging  their  miserable  lives.     The  red  man's  God  seemed  to  have 
withdrawn  his  countenance  from  his  despairing  worshippers.    Philip 
rallied  his  little  band  of  faithful  followers  about  him  for  the   last 
desperate  struggle.      AVeetamoe,  loyal,  courageous,  still  unbroken  in 
spirit,  fu]lo^v'ed  uncomplainingly  the  fortunes  of  her  people.    Driven 
from  her  beloved  Pocasset,  she  fled  with  her  warriors  now  diminished 
in  numbers  to  less  than  two  score  to  the  country  of  the  Niantics. 
But  for  the  unhappy  queen  there  was  no  haven  of  refuge.      IStill 
pursued,  she  turned  her  step  toward  jMattapoiset,  beautiful  Matta- 
poiset,  the  "Place  of  Rest."     And  here  she  did,  indeed,  find  rest — 
the  rest  from  which  there  was  no  awakening.     Betrayed  by  one  of 
their  own  number,  her  j)eople  were,   early  in  August,  surprised  and 
captured  by  a  party  of  English  from  Taunton.      She,  alone,  escaped, 
and  with  her  old  time  boldness  and  self-reliance  attemjjted  to  cross  the 
Taunton  river  upon  a  rude  raft  of  broken  pieces  of  wood.     Whether 
she  became  overpowered  by  fatigue,  or  whetiier  her  craft  proved  too 
fragile  to  sustain  her,  is  not  certain,  but  her  dead  body  was  found, 
not  long  after,  on  the  green  shores  of  jMattapoiset,  whither  the  waves 
had  borne  it.     Unkind  in  all  else.   Fate  was  merciful  to  her  at  the 
last.      As  she  had  lived  so  she  died,  free  as  the  pure  air  of  her  native 
land,  unvanquished,  her  last  act  one  of  resistance  to  her  hated  foes. 
A  few  days  later  the  people  of  Taunton  set  upon  a  pole  a  ghastly 
trophy.      Some   Indians,   then  priwoucrs  in   the  town,  beholding  it, 
burtst  into  lamentations,  crying  out  that  it  was  the  head  of  their  queen. 
So  the  last  scene  in  the  life  drama  of  \Veetamoe  of  Pocasset  was  en- 
acted.    Let  the  curtain  fall !

You  will  do  rao  a  favour  by  eiKjiiiring,  &,  letting  nu;  know  as  soon  as 
possible,  if  any  good  coach-maker  in  Pliil"  or  Gcu-inan  'i'own  (Bringhurst 
for  instance)  will  engage  to  make  me  a  genteel  plain  chariot  with  real  Har- 
ness for  four  horses  to  go  with  two  postilions — 1  wish  to  know  the  terms 
and  in  how  short  a  time  it  can  be  done — I  also  beg  to  know  if  the  harness 
could  be  soon  had  without  the  carriage. 

Tliat  the  workmen  may  lie  at  no  loss  to  fix  a  just  price  on  these  things 
on  ace'  of  the  (luctuating,  it  uncertain  state  of  our  curr"  he  may  make  his

j)revailing — be  it  little  or  much — tliis  will  put  the  matter  upon  so  clear  & 
unccjui vocal  a  footing  that  he  can  be  at  no  loss  in  lixing  prices,  nor  be 
under  the  smallest  inducem'^  to  ask  an  enormous  price  in  order  to  g'^  against 
the  evil  consc(juenci;s  of  depreciation. 

You  will  do  me  a  fav""  by  answering  this  letter  speedily  as  I  have  parti- 
cular reasons  for  i-e(]uesting  it.    1  am  &c. 

P.  S.  I  beg  the  favor  of  you  to  en(|uire  further  whether  nails  &  other 
kind  of  mounting,  &  trimmings,  necessary  to  the  lining  and  finishing  of  a

pleated  witii  Harness  for  four  Horses  in  two  or  three  Weeks,  the  price  is 
Two  Hundred  tt  Ten  Pounds  in  Gold  or  the  Value  thereof  in  current 
money.  1  cannot  procure  one  under  this  sum  from  any  of  the  workmen 
here,  &  believe  it  is  the  lowest  price,  the  man  who  has  it  has  prom- 
ised to  wait  a  Week  for  your  Excellency's  answer. 

I  believe  all  the  Necessary  Furniture  and  Lining  can  be  procm-ed  here

cheaper.  1  can  not  acertain  what  the  Furniture  &e  will  cost,  as  some  part

Washington  to  Mitchell, 

Head  Quauters,  Morristown, 

30  March,  1780 
D^  Sir 

Your  Letter  of  the  25*'*  did  not  come  to  my  hands  till  yesterday  after- 
noon. 

I  will  take  the  chariot  at  the  price  of  Two  hundred  and  ten  pounds  in 
gold,  provided  yon  have  examined  it  yourself  with  a  critical  eye  or  will  get 
some  good  judge  or  judges  to  do  it  and  they  shall  be  of  o[)inion  tliat  it  is 
made  in  the  present  taste — well  fashioned — composed  of  seasoned  wood 
well  put  togother, — and  also  that  it  has,  or  is  to  have  a  proper  lining  ttc"^ 

jMy  reason  for  being  so  particular  I  shall  mention — some  days  ago  I  was 
told  of  an  elegant  chariot  of  excpiisite  workmanship  belonging  to  C'apt" 
Kennedy  that  was  for  sale — I  got  a  Gent"  in  the  neighborhood  to  view  it, 
who  made  so  favourable  a  report  that  I  sent  down  to  buy  it,  when  upon  a 
second  inspection  (or  the  Inspection  of  a  second  Gent")  it  was  found  to 
be  so  old  fashioned  &  uncouth,  that  the  Gent"  did  not  incline  to  take  it. — 
I  wish  you  had  mentioned  the  maker's  name  of  the  one  oifered  you — if  it 
is  a  common  sale  chariot,  &  the  workman  does  not  stand  much  upon 
his  character  it  may  be  of  little  worth  from  the  slightness  of  it. 

It  will  not  be  in  my  j)Ower  to  insure  payment  in  less  time  than  It  would 
take  me*  to  draw  the  money  from  my  own  home  in  Virginia  which  by  the 
common  chances  of  conveyance  I  could  not,  with  certainty  iix  at  less  than 
8  weeks  from  the  receipt  of  your  notice  of  its  want.  If  it  does  not  suit 
the  workman  to  wait  so  long,  &  you  could  borrow  that  much  specie  I  will 
engage  to  replace  it  with  interest  in  the  time. 

In  case  you  should  purchase,  please  to  have  my  arms  and  crest  properly 
disp''  of  on  the  chariot.     I  send  them  for  this  purpose.     I  am  &c. 

P.  S.  I\P  Tilghman  tells  me  that  Gen'  Dickenson,  if  in  town,  would  be 
so  obliging  as  to  take  the  trouble,  would  be  an  excellent  jndge  of  the 
chariot  in  its  pres"'  state  <t  directions  with  respect  to  the  linish  of  it. — la 
doing  w'''  neatly  &  in  taste  1  should  not  begrudge  adding  to  the  price  fixed.

Dear  Sir, 

Your  Excellency's  favor  of  the  oO^''  ultimo,  was  handed  me  on  Saturday 
evening.  On  JMonday  morning  I  got  I\I''  Mt-redith  (Gen'  Dickinson  was 
not  in  town)  and  several  other  Gentlemen  to  go  to  Look  at  the  chariot 
who  all  agreed  it  was  good  AV\)rk  &  neatly  linished  in  the  present  Teaste 
the  wood  has  been  well  seasoned,  the  only  Objection  apears  to  be  the  size 
w*^''  is  3  feet  4  Inches  high  from  the  seat  to  the  top,  and  3  feet  tj  Inches 
wide  in  the  inside  if  these  dimentions  will  do,  the  Carriage  Avill  I  believe 
please  you,  the  (Uoth  is  not  a  good  si-cond,  but  looks  pretty  wt;ll. 

'i'his  day  i  went  (o  Gi-rnianlown  i^  hav(^  prijvailcd  on  i\P  Hringhurst  \o 
let  vdu  ha\c'  a  Chariot  lie  has  in  hand — it  apears  to  be  good  Work  t*c  well 
seasoned  limbei',  the  size  is  3  feet  (Ij  Liclies  high  ami  3  feet  10  Inches 
wid(!— it  will  have  a  very  good  second  Clolh  or  better  if  to  be  got  this  will 
be  ready  in  Six  Weeks,  the  former  in  'IV.n  days,  the  price  is  the  same.  AP

"THE  TWO  PEACHES"  OF  MARBLEIIEAD. 

By  the  l\ev.  Hoheut  Westly  Peach,  Camden,  New  Jersey. 

Nov.  r.O,  IGtVJ,  Sauuiel  lAIorj^an  of  Marblchead,  Mass.,  iu  a  deposition, 
Kpokc  of  "the  two  readies"  (Cf.  Essex  Co.  Court  Papers,  xvi.  GO).  April 
28  1 70;>,  Nathaniel  AValtou,  in  a  deposition  concerning  the  running  of  certain 
bouu.Uiri'es  in  Murbleliead  about  107-1,  used  the  exi)resMOU,  "  the  two 
peaches ;  "  two  days  earlier,  Tlios.  Darling,  in  a  deposition,  spoke  of  "  oiie 
of  y"  Peaches."  The  record  of  these  latter  de].ositions  may  be  found  m 
the  ollice  of  the  Register  of  Deeds  at  Salem,  under  date  of  July  9,  1703. 

In  Seventeenth  Century  records  of  Marblehead  and  Salem  I  have  found 
John  Peac^h,  Sr.,  and  dolm  Peach,  Jr.,  named  together  over  forty  times, 
and,  including  these  instances,  the  older  man  named  one  hundred  times  and 
the  youn'^er  over  eighty,  besides  thirty  cases  iu  which  the  distinction  ot 
senior  or' junior  is  omitted.  With  the  exception  of  the  son  and  (hiugbters 
of  John,  Jr.,  and  the  children  of  his  son,  I  have  found  the  name^ Peach  iii 
these  old  records  not  once.  From  this  I  conclude  that  John  Peach,  Sr., 
and  John  Peach,  Jr.,  were  familiarly  known  as  "  the  two  Peaches,"  and 
that  there  were  no  other  Peai'hes,  outside  of  tlui  family  of  the  latter,  lu 
Marblehead  at  that  time. 

John,  Jr.,  made  a  deposition  Apr.  '2G,  K.G?,  when  he  was  aged  about  .)J 
(Cf.  Essex  Co.  Court  Papers,  xiv.  l»l).  His  age  was  5'J  in  1G72  (Cf.  N.  E. 
Hist.  .^  (ien.  l{eg.,  vii.  ;{o7).  ll  was  77  July  2-',  IGDO  (Cf.  Felt's  Annals 
of  Salem,  I  St  E<l.,  p.  l>i»'.l.— Nor  i:.— John,  Sr.,  died  in  IGHl).  The  prob- 
able date  of  the  birth  of  John,  Jr.,  would  therefore  fall  between  April  'JG 
and  July  2-i,  IGia. 

A  man  aged  77  iu  1G90  would  not  be  described  as  "aged  80  yeare  or 
thcrabout"  m  1G81;  therefore  the  John  Peach  whose  deposition  was  made 
June  2;J  of  the  latter  year,  must  have  been  John,  Sr.  In  it  he  testihed 
that  he  came  to  New  England  in  IGIJO  (Cf.  Essex  Co.  Court  Papers, 
xliv.  aO;  N.  E.  Hist.  &  Gen.  Reg.,  xxxii.  237).  John,  Sr.,  made  a 
dei)0sition  Jany.  27,  IGG'J,  "being  then  above  50"  (Cf.  Essex  Co.  (^"ourt 
Pai.ers,  xiv.  44).  He  was  aged  GO  iu  1G72  (Cf.  N.  E.  Hist.  ^  Gen.  Reg., 
vii  o[>7).  These  data  far  from  coincide.  It  is  probable  that  he  did  not 
know  his  exact  age,  but  was  born  between  1G04  and  1G12,  being  from  one 
to  nine  years  older  than  John,  Jr. 

Wheiv  John,  Sr.,  abode  from  1G30  to  1G3G  does  not  a])|)ear,  but  prob- 
ably it  w.i^  hi  I\Iarl)h4u;ad.  lb",  was  evhh'utly  well  setlled  in  that  place 
before  Jan.  2.S,  IG;i(;,  when  the  Jirst  mention  of  Marbh4iead  is  found  m

and  Nicholus  mariott"  (Cf.  Hist.  Col.  Essex  lust.,  iv.  93).  That  this  was 
John  8r.  appears  from  a  comparison  of  Vol.  xx.,  foho  97,  reverse,  m  the 
otlic./of  the  l{e-ister  of  Deeds,  with  the  ninth  item  of  his  will,  o"  /jje  ^u 
the  Probate  ollice,  both  in  Salem.  John,  8r.,  died  in  Marblehead  (Lf.  1st 
Book  of  Deaths,  p.  3,  in  Abbot  Hall)  An-.  20,  1084.  By  his  wdl  it  ap- 
pears tluit  he  left  neither  wife  nor  child.  One  of  his  becinests  was  to  John 
and  Thomas,  sons  of  his  cousin  William  Teach.  Now  William  was  the 
only  son  of  John,  Jr.,  and  John  ami  Thomas  were  his  eldest  sous  (Lt.  the 
will  of  John,  Jr.,  Essex  Probate  ollice;  Bai.tismal  Records,  1st  Church, 
JMvrblehead).  But  as  "  cousin  "  was  used  indelinitely  in  those  days,  the 
exact  relationship. of  "the  two  Peaches"  is  not  determined.  They  were 
probably  iirst  cousins.  ^    ,,.-.o      tt  .i. 

John,  Jr.,  was  "  made  free  at  y«  Court,"  May   IG,   1083.     He  was  then 
seventy  years  old,  and  (as  well  ius  John,  Sr.)  had  often  been  a  selectman  of 
Marblehead.     John   Devereux,   Thos.    Pitman,  Sr.,  and  Joseph  Dallaber, 
Sr    were  amon-(st  others  admitted  freemen  at  the  same  time   (Cf.  "  Keo- 
ord's  of  the  Governor  and  Company  of  the  Mass.  Bay  in  N.  Eng.,"  v.  o42). 
The  fore'^oin.r  data  alford  corrections  of  several  historical  and  geuealo^- 
cal  errors  which  1  have  found.    1st,  John  Farmer's  "  Geuealogical  Register 
of  the  First  Settlers  of  New  England,"  Lancaster,  ^NLass.,  1829,  p.  221,  says 
that  Peach,  "John,  Marblehead   1G18,  born  about  1G12,  had  a  sou  John, 
admitted  fireman  1G83."     But  John,   Jr.,  was   not  the  sou  of  John,  Sr., 
nor  had  John,  Jr.,  a  son  John.     2d,  Savage's  "  Genealogical  Dictionary, 
<tc.   iii.  376,  says  that  Peach,  "John,  Salem  or  Marblehead  1G48-79,  said 
to  be  born  1612,  of  whom  Felt  linds  mention  1630,  may  have  been  father 
of  John,  Jr.,  of  Marblehead,  freeman,  1683."     Here  is  Farmer's  mistake 
repeated,  and  additionally  the  wrong  dates  1648-79  for  John,  Sr.,  ni  Mar- 
blehead, the  correct  dates  being  (1630?)  1636-84.     3d,  the  N.  E.  Hist  & 
Gen    Re"-.,  vii.  357,  has  it  that  "  John,  sen.,  and  John,  jun.,  lived  in  Mar- 
blehead 41  years  and  33  years  [So  Cotfin]."     But  John,  Sr.,  dwelt  there 
for  at  least  48.^  years,  and  probably  nearly  64  years ;  and  John,  Jr.,  over 
50  years.     The    latter   statement   is   based   upon  the  following  data :   (a) 
June  30,  1 669,  John,  Jr.  (also  John,  Sr.),  deposed  that  one  Henry  Stacey  had 
possessed  a  certain  lot  in  Marblehead  about  27  years  (Cf.  Essex  Co.  Court 
Papers,  xiv.  115).     This  goes  back  to  1642— the  year  in  which  the  dis- 
tinction  "  Sen."  is   first  applied  to   a  John   Peach,  so  far  as  I  can  find, 
rjohn  junior's  wife,  Alice,   is  named  in  the  Court  Papers,  i.  19,  May  5, 
1644.]   (b)  The  latest  date  for  John,  Jr.,  is  April  11,1692  [Ins  grandson 
John  was  thun  about  12],  when  he  was  electe.l  on  a  committee  to  look 
after  the  commons,  &.c.  (Cf.  Copy   of  Original  Town  Record  from  1  648  to 
17  10,  p.  185— in  Abbot  Hall).   {<')  His  estate  was  inventoried  Nov.  28,  1  093 
(Cf.  Essex  Probate  Records,  ccciii.  214).     The  dates  for  him  in   ISIarble- 
head  are  1642— '92,  with  the  probability  of  a  few  years  earlier  for  the  first 
and   1693  for  the  final  year.     4th,  Savage's  Dictionary,  iii.  376,  says  that 
Peach,  "  George,  Marblehead,    1674,   may  have  been  son   of  John.     See 
Peache."     But  once  again,  John,  Sr.,  had  no  son  ;  John,  Jr.,  had  an  "  onely 
Sonne  William  "  (Cf.  his  will,  in  the  Essex  Co.  Probate  otlice),  and  Wil- 
liam was  only  22  in  1674  (Cf.  Hist.  Col.  Essex  Inst.,  xii.  63).     George 
Peak  or  Peake,  not  Peach,  is  correct;  the  name  is  found  thus  in  both  deeds 
and  baptismal  records.     5th,  another  misreading,  not  yet  published,  is  m 
the  Index  to  the  Essex  Co.  Court  Papers,  Salem:  "  Vol.  11,  p.  98— AVm. 
Peach,  sued  by  selectmen  for  debt."     The  paper  on  p.  98  of  vol.  xi.  bears 
no  name.     Reference  to   the   Court  Records  of   the  same  date  shows  the

name  to  have  been  "  "William  Peak."  Gth,  the  N.  Vj.  Hist.  &  Gen.  Wetr. 
ix.  82,  gives  AVilliam  Peach  as  one  of  the  signers  of  a  petition  ao-ainst  im- 
posts, l(i(i«  or  '(;;).  This  must  have  been  Peak,  instead,  for  William  Peach 
was  tlicn  only  about  16  years  old.  From  the  fourth  to  the  tenth  decade  of 
the  Seventeenth  Century,  "  the  two  Peaches  "  of  Marblehead  were  the 
"cousins,"  of  very  nearly  the  same  age,  John,  senior,  and  John,  junior. 

John,  Sr.,  was  a  selectman  in  1G48,  '49,  '50,  '5G,  '57,  '59-02,  '71,  '72 
'77  and  '81  (Cf.  Roads:  "  Marblehead  Manual,"  p.  7G  ;  but  of  these  dates 
Roads  did  not  find  '50,  'G2  and  '72,  and  I  could  not  lind,  in  the  town  min- 
utes, '57,  '59  and  'Gl).  John,  Jr.,  was  a  selectman  in  1G56,  '59-'G2,  and 
'71  [Roads  does  not  give  '59,  'G2  and  '71  ;  I  could  not  find  'Gl].  John, 
Sr.,  was  frequently  an  appraiser  of  estates,  court  constable,  way-warden,' 
fence-viewer,  &c.  Roads,  in  his  "  History  of  Marblehead,"  2d  Ed.,  pp.  24, 
25,  gives  a  most  interesting  account  of  the  work  of  a  committee,  of  which 
he  was  a  member,  in  assigning  seats  in  the  "  Lentoo  "  of  the  meeting-house. 
''  Peach's  Point  "  took  its  name  from  him.  John,  Jr.,  was  often  appointed 
on  responsible  committees,  to  "  lay  out  "  land  that  was  to  be  divided,  "  view 
ffences,"  guard  the  rights  of  the  commoners  to  i)asturage  of  their  cattle,  &c. 
He  was  frecjuently  a  witness  to  wills  and  deeds.  The  lands  of  both  men 
are  often  referred  to  as  boundaries. 

In  1G48,  John,  Sr.,  was  entitled  to  pasture  two  cows  and  John,  Jr.,  one, 
on  the  common.  Jn  1G74-5,  when  disputed  rights  in  the  commons  were 
settled  by  the  (general  Court,  out  of  IIG  conmioners  who  subscribed  agree- 
ment, John,  Sr.,  was  entitled  :o  three  cows'  commonage  and  John,  Jr.,  to 
live.  Only  two  other  men  were  allowed  as  many  as  "the  latter — Samuel 
Cheever,  live,  and  Moses  Maverick,  nine  (Cf.  Copy  of  Original  Town  Rec- 
ord from  1G48  to  1710,  pp.  9,  68  and  69).  John  senior's  JMarblehead 
estate  v/as  hiventoried  at  £303 ;  John  junior's  at  £389.  The  former  left 
lands  in  l<2ngland  and  six  "parsells"  of  land  in  Marblehead;  the  latter  left 
six  lots  in  JMarblehead,  and  had  j)revious]y  given  away  three,  one  to  each 
of  his  daugliters.  Two  of  these  "  lots  "  were  each  of  ten  acres,  one  of 
eight,  and  one  of  live,  the  others  not  specified. 

The  relatives  named  in  the  will  of  John,  Sr.,  were:  John  Squire,  sister's 
son,  in  Barbailos  ;  his  brother  Thomas's  widow,  his  sister  INIargerie's  chil- 
dren, and  John  IMinson,  his  cousin,  Simsborough,  England ;  his  consul 
William  Peach's  sous  John  and  Thomas,  his  cousin  John  Legg,  his  cousin 
William  Mine,  wife  Abigail  and  John  Iline,  their  son ;  his  cousin  Peter 
Dalliwar  and  daughter  INIargaret ;  and  his  cousin  Joseph  Dalliwar  [all  of 
Marblehead]. 

John,  Jr.,  during  his  lifetime  gave  certain  pieces  of  property  to  his 
daughters,  Hannah,  wife  of  William  Waters  ;  Elizabeth,  wife  of  John 
Legg,  and  IMary,  wife  of  William  Woods  ;  these  gifts  he  did  "  further  con- 
firme  and  suremake  "  in  his  will.  His  remaining  estate  he  becpieathed  to 
his  "  dear  and  beloved  wife  Alice  Peach,"  after  her  death  to  descend  to  his 
"  onely  sonne  W'iiliam  l^;ach,"  from  him  to  go  to  his  *'  present  wife  Emme 
during  her  widowhood  onely,"  after  which  "  to  descend  to  his  two  sonnes 
John  and  Thomas."  This  will  was  dated  Jany.  10,  1C88.  William's 
youngest  son  William,  then  over  four  years  old  (Cf.  Hist.  Col.  Essex  Inst., 
xii.  Go),  was  left  out. 

From  John,  Jr.,  "  one  of  y«  Peaches,"  are  descended  the  Peaches  of 
Marblehead  and  Salem,  with  their  branches  scattered  over  the  country. 
His  son  William's  wife  Emme  was  tlie  daughter  of  John  Devereux  (Cf. 
Essex  Co.  Deeds,  xviii.  174,  reverse).     William's  daughter  Hannah  mar-

The  following  is  an  extract  from  a  letter  written  me  by  Mr.  Trask,  be- 
fore mentioned,  dated  20  Portland  Place,  Bath,  England,  21st  June,  1897. 

"  William  Blake  Trask  Esq., 
Dear  Sir, 

Your  kind  letter  of  2^^  March  was  forwarded  to  me  hero  from 
Ceylon.  I  should  have  replied  to  it  earlier  but  have  been  for  two  months  in 
hospital  and  tiierefore  unable  to  attend  to  correspondence. 

I  have  now  left  hospital  and  shall,  probably,  leave  again  for  Ceylon  before 
long,  with  iu'allh  sonu-wluiL  impaired,  and  [  do  not  look  forward  with  much 
eagerness  to  a  future  of  hard  work  sucli  as  lies  before  me.

I  am  having  a  photo  of  my  late  brother  Surgeon-Captain  John  Ernest,  copied 
for  you  and  when  received  will  send  it  on.  [The  photograph  was  duly  re- 
ceived. This  brother,  John  Ernest  Trask,  "  died  of  cholera,  in  the  execution  of

A  cousin  of  my  late  Father  has  in  his  possession  a  curious  old  deed,  dated 
1589,  which  I  have  just  translated,  and  as  I  write  this  my  wife  is  copying  my 
translation  to  be  forwarded  to  you  with  this  letter. 

1  have  visited  the  parislies  of  East  and  West  Coker  and  have  taken  extracts 
from  the  registers  in  the  former  place — there  being  no  reference  to  Traske  in 
those  of  West  Coker. 

These  extracts  from  1564  to  1671  I  have  copied  out  and  enclose  them  for  you. 

You  will  observe  that  a  William  Traske  was  baptized  ou  the  5  Dec.  1585. 
Could  this  be  Cap'"  William  Traske  of  Salem?  *

what  assistance  he  could  in  deciphering  the  registers.     lie  informed  me  that

Hcvcral  enquiries  have  reached  liliii  from  America  oa  behalf  of  the  Elliots  and 
Dodj^es,  whose  ancestors  went  to  New  England  years  ago. 

It  seems  to  me  only  reasonable  to  suppose,  from  all  we  know,  that  there  "waa 
quite  a  little  baud  of  people  from  Coker  and  that  William  Traske  was  one  of 
them.  At  any  rate  we  know  that  the  Elliots,  Dodges,  and  Traskes  were  in  New 
England  together;  we  know  that  the  Elliots  .t  Dodgt'S  came  from  East  Coker; 
We  know  that  there  Avere,  also,  many  Traskes  at  l<]ast  Coker;  ami  therefore 
the  obvious  inference  is  that  \Villiani  Traske  (Captain)  who  founded  your  family 
was  a  Coker  man.  We  (hid  a  William  Traske  bai>ti/.ed  14"'  Dec.  1585;  and  as 
there  appears  to  be  no  further  record  of  him  in  tlie  registers  the  presumption 
seems  to  me  very  strong  that  this  is  the  identical  Ca[)t'»  William. 

I  am  not  certain  if  [  can  go  to  Trent  or  Kingsbury  or  to  any  other  parish  where 
the  Traskes  used  to  live  in  the  xvi"'  century,  as  I  am  still  weak  and  it  takes 
very  little  to  tire  me  out.  You  may  be  sure,  however,  that  I  shall  do  so  if  I 
can." 

In  a  former  letter,  dated  Colombo,  Ceylon,  23d  Oct.  1895,  Mr.  Trask 
writes :  — 

"  You  tell  me  that  John  Traske,  of  Trent,  had  three  sons — at  least  three  were 
mentioned  in  this  will.  These  were  Henry,  llobart  &  William.  As  they  were 
so  fond  of  the  name  Jolin  I  suspect  he  had  one  of  that  name  too. 

There  was  a  Henry  Traske  of  Kingsbury  (Somerset)  Avhose  daughter  mar- 
ried George  Lisle  in  1(121.  I  know  no  further  particulars  of  this  Traske,  but  it 
is  not  at  all  unlikely  that  he  was  the  Henry,  son  of  John,  of  Trent.  This  George 
Lisle,  who  married  Henry's  daughter,  had  au  uncle  William  Lisle  who  was  a 
groom  of  the  chamber  to  Elizabeth,  and  another  Uncle  Edmund  said  to  be 
a  "writer,"  who  was  also  groom  of  the  chamber  to  Elizabeth,  James  I  and 
Charles  I. 

There  was  a  Robert  Traske  instituted  to  the  diaconate  of  Banwell  19  Nov. 
1582.     He  may  have  been  the  "  Eobart,"  son  of  John,  also. 

It  would  be  interesting  to  find  out  the  descendants  of  William,  the  other  son 
of  John,  of  Trent.  I  have  an  idea,  perhaps  it  is  fanciful,  that  we  may  discover 
that  this  William  (son  of  John  of  Trent)  was  the  father  of  Capt°  William 
Traske — your  ancestor,  and  I  should  not  be  at  all  astonished  to  discover  that 
my  ancestor  John  Traske  (portreeve  of  Yeovil,  in  IG^iO)  also  came  of  the  family 
of  Joim  of  Trent.  I  shall  leave  no  stone  unturned  till  I  either  prove  or  dis- 
prove the  supposition." 

llenry  F.  Waters,  A.IM.,  furnished  the  Essex  Institute  Historical  Col- 
lections at  Salem,  JMass.,  in  1880,  vol.  xvii.  page  121,  with  the  following: 

Jolm  Traske,  of  Trent,  Co.  Somerset,  husbandman;  21  Nov.  1558,  proved  15 
Nov.,  1574;  to  be  buried  in  church  yard  of  Trent;  to  St.  Andrew's  church  of 
Wells;  to  parish  church  of  Mowdeforde;  wife  Edith,  sons  William,  Harry, 
liobnrt,  daughters  Mary  and  Alice.  His  wife  Edith  having  dec'd,  adminislratioa 
•was  granted  to  Kobert  and  Henry,  sous  of  the  deceased.  {^Martyn,  L.  4o.] 

Joltn  Traske,  of  East  Coker,  Co.  Somerset;  27  April,  1598,  proved  20  May, 
151)8;  daughter  Mary,  wife  Alice  (with  child)  ;  Reynold  Traske  a  witness. 

[Lewyn,  L.  44. J 

It  will  be  noted  that  the  Balch  and  the  Traske  families  are  both  spoken 
of  as  either  living  or  owning  land  in  East  Coker.  One  of  the  founders  of 
a  neighboring  and  allied  family  in  Essex  County,  Massachusetts,  was  almost 
always  called  William  Dodge  of  Coker.

treasured  perlodicul.  I  do  not  claim  tliat  tliis  record,  which  is  drawn  from 
officKu  sources,  not  fan.ily  tnidition,  i.s  unequalled  iu  its  patriotic  features  • 
but  It  IS  rny  belief,  based  upon  the  results  of  careful  investii^ution,  that  it 
has  few  superiors,  and  iu  uiauy  respects  is  unique  and  remarkable.  The 
subjects  of  this  record  were  all  humble  men,  wholly  unknown  to  lame,  ex- 
cept as  their  devoted  service  to  their  country  has  earned  them  such  distinc- 
tion. 

George  Osborne  of  Peml)roke,  lAIassachusetts,  was  forty-two  years  of  a^^-e 
at  the  breaking  out  of  the  Revolutiou.  He  had  eii^ht  sons,  seven  of  whom 
together  with  hmiself,  served  terms  of  varving  lengths  in  the  armv  and 
navy  during  that  war.  The  name  of  the  father  and  Jiis  sons,  Geo^-ae  .f-- 
and  Thomas,  are  first  found  on  a  roll  of  a  company  of  mhntte  inen,  com- 
manded by  Captain  Cushiug.  that  marched  from  the  West  Parish  of  Pem- 
broke on  the  alarm  of  the  IDtli  of  April,  1775.  The  father's  name  fur- 
ther appears  on  tlie  roll  of  Capt.  Hamlen's  Companv,  Col.  Thomas'  Re^d- 
ment,  for  service  at  Roxbury,  from  I^fay  1st  to  August  1st,  177;> ;  on  the 
roll  of  Capt.  Hatch's  Ciuupauy  for  service  at  Wevmouth  and  Braintree 
larms  on  the  alarm  of  lAIarch,  177G;  on  the  roll  of  Capt.  Stetson's  Com-

agam  on  the  roll  of  Capt.  Hatch's  Company^it  Bristol,  Rhode  Island,  on 
tile  alarm  of  December  8th.  177<3. 

His  seven  sons  emulated  his  patriotic  example  in  this  wise  :  Geor<re 
Junior,  as  stated,  served  first  with  his  father  on  the  alarm  of  Lexin-tou'

the  close  of  the  war,  being  twenty  years  of  age  at  the  time  of  his  first  en- 
listment. 

Peleg  was  twelve  years  of  age  when  the  war  began,  and  when  fourteen 
years  of  age  in  1777,  he  served  from  April  to  June  on  the  "  forty  davs'  ex- 
pedition "  to  Rhode  Island.  From  July,  1777,  to  Januarv,  1778  hV  was 
under  enlistment  for  service  in  the  New  England  States  iuY'ol.  Robin'^on's 
Kegiment.  For  fifteen  days  in  Ivlarch,  1781,  he  served  atrain  in  Rhode

lerred,  togctlier  wuli  several  of  his  brothers,  to  the  famous  'frin-ate  '^  Al- 
liance," under  Capt.  John  Pxarry,  ami  serving  till  June.  1782,  ])ra'ctically  to 
the  end  of  the  war.  "  -  i  j 

The  third  son,  Michael,  commenced  his  service  in  Capt.  Sparrow's  Com- 
pany Col.  Nathan  Tyler^s  Regiment,  servin-  four  montlis  and  twenty  days 
in  Rhode  Islaiul.  between  July  and  December,  1779.  He  served  in  the 
same  com])any  one  month  in  1780,  and  later  in  the  same  year  his  name 
appears  on  a  roll  of  six  months'  men,  raised  bv  the  town  of  Pembroke 
serving  under  this  enlistment  in  Washington's  army  at  the  camp  at  Totawa 
and  Ireakness,  New  Jersey,  till  January.  1781.  He  served  in  Col.  Cot- 
ton's Regiment  on  tlie  *' forty  days'  expedition"  to  Rhode  Island,  and  con- 
cluded his  service  on  the  frigate  ''  Deano  "  between  December,  1781,  and

John  enlisted  as  a  '•  Boy,"  and  served  three  times  iu  the  navy,  once  on 
the  bngantine  "Tyrannicide"  in  1779;  again  in  1779  on  the  ship  "Gen- 
eral Putnam,"  and  lastly,  in  1782,  on  the  frigate  "  Deane." 


1900.]  Military  Services  of  the  Osborne  Famihj.  285 

Hiif^li  Osborne  was  fourteen  years  of  a^e  when  the  war  liroke  out.  an<l 
in  1776  performed  service  at  Di^rchester  Heights  in  Col.  Dyke's  Re<iinient, 
and  again  the  same  year  in  Kliode  Island  in  Cant.  Hatch's  Com])any.  In 
1777  he  served  ai^ain  in  Rhode  Island,  in  Col.  Titcomb's  Keuiment,  for  u 
period  of  two  nionihs  and  six  days.  Between  July,  1778,  and  Ajiril,  1779, 
he  served  in  PeTuisylvania,  New  York  and  New  Jersey  in  Col.  liailey's 
Regiment,  and  concluded  his  service,  as  did  several  of  his  brothers,  by  en- 
listing as  a  marine  on  the  frigate  "  Deane"  in  December,  1781,  and  serving 
till  May,  1782. 

The  son  William  enlisted  with  his  brothers,  Thomas,  Hugh,  John  and 
Peleg,  on  the  frigate  "Deane"  in  December,  1781  ;  was  afterwards  trans- 
ferred to  the  frigate  "  Alliance,"  on  which  he  died  in  1782. 

We  conclude  this  record  with  that  of  Thomas  Osborne,  who  marched 
with  his  fatlier  and  brother  George  on  the  alarm  of  Lexington.  A  few 
days  after  his  return  from  this  march  he  joined  Capt.  Hamlen's  Company 
of  Col.  Bailey's  Regiment,  marched  to  the  siege  of  Boston,  and  was  present 
during  the  entire  siege.  After  the  evacuation  of  Boston  he  marclicd  with 
Washington's  army  to  New  York  city,  and  was  in  the  battles  of  Long 
Island,  August  27,  1776;  Harlem  Heights.  Septem'Der  16,  1776;  Wliite 
Plains,  October  28,  1776;  Trenton,  N.  J.,  December  26,  1776,  and  Prince- 
ton, N.  J.,  January  3,  1777.  He  went  with  Wasliington's  army,  after  the 
latter  battle,  to  IMorristown  Heights,  where  he  was  discharged  January  15, 
1777,  making  a  continuous  service  of  twenty-one  and  one-half  months.  In 
April,  1777,  he  enlisted  in  Col.  Staunton's  Regiment,  to  serve  in  Rhode 
Island.  After  his  return  from  this  service  in  June,  1778,  he  enlisted  in 
Capt.  Hatch's  Company  for  nine  months  and  went  to  West  Point,  New 
York.  Immediately  after  the  comjiletion  of  this  service,  he  entered 
the  Pennsylvania  Line  for  one  year.  In  March  or  April,  1780,  he 
returned  to  his  home,  but  at  once  entered  the  sea  service,  and  is  reported 
to  have  eidisted  on  the  Massachusetts  armed  vessel,  the  "  Protector,"  con\- 
manded  by  Capt.  John  Foster  AVilliams  of  Boston.  In  June  of  that  year 
the  "  Protector  "  had  an  engagement  with  the  British  ship  "  Admiral  Dutf," 
and  captured  her.  While  on  a  second  cruise  on  the  "■  Protector"  (1781),  he 
was  in  the  engagement  with  the  English  vessels  the  "  Roebuck  "  and  ''  May- 
day," was  severely  wounded  and  captured  with  his  vessel  and  her  otHcers  and 
crew,  carried  to  Halifax,  Nova  Scotia,  a  prisoner  of  war,  v/here  he  was  de- 
tained six  months.  Upon  l)eing  released  toward  the  close  of  the  year  he 
enlisted  on  the  frigate  "  Deane"  (December,  1781),  was  transferred  to  the 
"  Alliance  "  a  few  days  later,  and  set  sail  on  her  December  2otli  (1781), 
for  L'Orient,  France,  having  on  board  as  passengers  the  Marquis  de  la 
Fayette  and  the  Coiait  de  Noalles.  As  is  well  known,  the  "  Alliance," 
which  was  thought  to  be  the  linest  ship  in  the  American  navy,  was  at  this 
time  commanded  by  (Jai»t.  John  Barry.  After  leaving  her  distinguished 
passengeis  at  L'Ori«-iit,  she  pi'oceeded  upon  a  successful  cruise,  lighting,  as  is 
claimed,  the  last  battle  of  the  war  for  American  independence  upon  either 
land  or  sea.  Thoiii;is  ( )Hbori!e,  as  appears  by  his  sworn  statement,  served 
on  this  gallant  ship  (ill  slie  went  out  of  commission  in  ^March,  1783,  and 
thus  served,  including  liis  six  months'  imprisonment,  a  jteriod  of  seven 
years  and  about  nint!  "iionths.  He  died  at  Britlgewater,  Massachusetts,  iu 
1837,  at  the  advanr-d  ngo  of  seventy-nine  years,  having  entered  the  army 
at  the  age  of  seventeen  yejirs.

moved to  Stafford,  Conn.,  where  the  boy  grew  up.  That  Holmes 
proved  a  kind  step-fatlier  to  the  little  fellow  is  evidenced  by  the  fact 
that  Samuel  named  his  third  child  Josiah,  for  his  mother's  husband. 
I  do  not  know  when  he  came  to  Willington,  but  it  was  probably 
some  time  previous  to  his  first  marriage.  lie  bought  a  place  in

represented  his  district  in  the  Connecticut  Legislature,  at  a  time 
when  to  be  selected  for  such  a  position  was  a  mark  of  distinction. 
He  was  a  justice  of  the  peace  and  an  associate  justice  of  the  county

JOHN  HAMMOND  OF  LAVENHAM,  SUFFOLK, 
ENGLAND. 

Contributed  hj  F.  S.  Hammond,  Esq.,  of  Oneida,  N.Y. 

John  Hammond,  the  clothier  of  Lavenham,  County  of  Suffolk,  Eng- 
land, was  born  between  1500  and  1520,  probably  at  Melford,  as  his  father 
appears  to  have  been  living  there  before  1517.  No  record  of  his  birth  has 
been  foiuid,  and  there  is  nothing  to  show  his  age  at  tho  time  of  his  death 
in  1551.  It  is  evident,  however,  that  his  children  were  all  young  at  tho 
time,  and  tlie  fact  tiiat  his  widow  siu'vived  him  for  t\v(^nty-six  years  would 
indicate  that  he  was  a  comparatively  young  man  at  the  time  of  his  death. 

The.  dat<'8  of  births  of  his  children  cannot  be  found,  but  William  was 
probably  the  eldest  son,  although  there  is  no  positive  evidence  to  prove  that 
he  was  the  (eldest  child.  He  is  mentioned  first  in  his  father's  will,  and  ia 
named  with  his  mother  as  executor  of  the  will,  which  would  indicate  that

Ihetliren. 

I  have  Called  you  together  without  any  particular  request  having  been

«Sc  Chester  for  five  years,  at  the  Close  of  these  live  years,  there  was  some 
small  additions  to  the  Chh  in  Rockingham  &  Chester;  And  as  they  had  never

themselves  as  Separate  it  Distinct  Cluii'ches.

1900.]  Ancestry  of  Lydia  Stvengthjield.  309 


ANCESTRY  OF  LYDIA  ST1U^:NGTIIFIELD. 

Coiiiiniiiiicuted   by   IIakuv   A.    Pitman,   Esq.,   ol'  London,   England. 

I  AVAs  looklnjj^  up  the  other  diiy  some  ohl  numbers  of  the  Iveqister 
of  the  Ni!\v-10iighiiul  IIistt)ric  ( Jeneiih)gical  Society,  ut  the  British 
Museum,  ami  it  btruek  me  you  mi^^ht  like  tt)  insert  in  your  ([uartcrly 
the  eneh)se<l,  which  1  liave  copied  from  ii  manuscript  in  my  grcat- 
•jraimlmotht'r's  writ  in''. 

The  manuscri[)t,  unfortunately,  is  incomplete,  but  such  as  it  is 
would,  I  Venture  to  think,  be  of  considerable  interest  to  those  con- 
nected with  Ivhode  Islaml  as  giving  a  quaint  description  of  the  early 
settlement  of  Newport  and  Narraganset. 

The  writer  of  the  original  manuscri[)t,  Lydia  Strengthfield,  married 
in  1762  or  ITtJrt  (my  great-grandfather)  Frederick  Cobbe  Pitman, 
prcsumai)ly  at  Newport.  They  went  in  1709  to  Dublin,  Ireland, 
and  from  1772  to  17c)0  Avere  in  AVorcestershirc,  where  Frederick 
Cobbe  Pitman  died. 

Lydia  Pitman  died  13  Oct.,  1800,  and  was  buried  in  St.  James, 
Piccadilly,  London.  Iler  father,  William  Strengthfield,  was  pre- 
sumably the  son  of  Thomas  Strengthfield,  of  St.  iJunstan's  East,  and 
Ann  (iarrard,  daughter  of  Francis  Garrard  of  the  same  parish,  m. 
15  April,  1705.  [See  jMarriage  Licenses  :  Bishop  of  Loudon,  vol. 
ii ;   Ilarleian  Society,  vol.  xxvi.] 

The  name  Stiengthfield  ap{)cars  now  to  be  extinct  in  England. 

Frederick  ('obl)e  Pitman  is  believed  to  have  been  born  in  Hamp- 
shire, England,  between  1720  and  1728.  On  .Alarch  20,  17  1 1,  he 
was  gazetted  ensign  in  the  9th  Ivegt.  of  Foot  and  resigned  his 
eonnnission  in  January,  1751.  On  April  20,  1758,  he  was  com- 
mi.'^sioncd  lieutenant  in  the  East  India  Co.  and  fought  at  the  battle 
of  Biderra  in  Bengal,  and  apparently  resigned  in  IMarch,  1702. 
Between  1751  and  1758  he  was  ai)[)arently  in  America  serving  with 
Gorham's  Pangers  and  under  AVilliam  Green  (afterwards  Gen.  Sir 
AVin.  Green)  and  Lord  Howe.  [N.B.  His  service  with  Gorham's 
Kungcrs  might  have  been  prior  to  1744].  He  also  served  several 
years  as  a  volunteer  in  the  47th  Foot.  In  1702  he  ap[)arently  went 
again  to  America. 

I  should  particularly  like  to  know  the  exact  date  of  his  marriage 
with  Lydia  Strengthfield,  but  do  not  know  how  to  find  this  informa- 
tion. Any  information  about  the  individuals  mentioned  in  the  manu- 
script would  also  be  acceptable. 

Manuscript  of  Lydia  Strengthfield  (h.  1746^  d.  1800). 

T  was  born  in  America  at  a  Town  called  Newport  in  Ivhode  Island  on  the 
20  April  174G. 

My  great  grandfather  by  my  mother's  side,  whose  name  was  Dyer,  was 
one  of  tliose  (.Quakers  who  was  persecuted  by  the  Presbyterians  at  Boston,

and  was  obliged  to  fly  with  many  of  that  sect  to  Rhode  IsU\nd,  and  as  tliey 
had  saved  part  of  their  fortunes  they  established  a  Town  and  called  it  New- 
port. 

The  King  gave  them  a  charter.  It  is  now  thought  to  be  the  garden  of 
America  by  all  strangers  who  visit  it. 

My  grandfather  had  several  of  the  best  houses  in  the  Town  as  a  Proprie- 
tor, but  as  he  was  fond  of  a  retired  life  he  removed  to  Narraganset  with  his 
only  son  (soon  after  the  death  of  his  wife)  when  he  built  a  large  house  upon 
the  most  beautiful  spot  that  was  ever  formed  by  nature,  a  quarter  of  a  mile 
from  the  front  of  which  the  sea  ebbed  and  Howed  upon  a  fine  beach  two 
miles  in  length  and  left  every  kind  of  shell  fish  on  the  sand. 

'J'he  beach  terminates  at  each  end  in  several  amazing  high  rocks,  inter- 
spersed with  bushes  and  trees,  at  the  bottom  of  which  are  valleys  covered 
with  aromatic  shrubs  intersected  with  beautiful  streams  of  clear  water,  which 
flow  c»ut  of  the  rocks  and  termhiate  in  the  sea. 

Opposite  the  house  aud  one  mile  distant  from  the  shore  is  a  very  small 
Island  of  an  oblong  form,  upon  which  my  grandfather  built  a  small  house 
and  conv'-erti'd  the  whole  Island  into  a  farm  and  called  it  ''  IIoj)e  "  as  he  was 
uncertain  whether  his  })lau  would  be  attended  with  success. 

From  his  house  in  Narraganset  he  had  the  most  delightful  prospects  of 
Rhode  Island,  a  small  Island  also  on  which  the  Fort  stood,  and  that  fine 
River  which  flows  from  Providence  into  the  sea. 

In  this  sweet  spot,  retirejl  from  the  world  with  a  few  Quaker  families, 
who  had  settled  in  the  neighborhood,  he  spent  the  remainder  of  his  days  in 
improving  his  farms,  which  produced  corn  of  every  kind,  with  fruit  and 
vegetables  in  abundance. 

His  plot  was  well  stocked  with  horses,  cows  and  all  sorts  of  live  stock, 
with  8ev(3ral  hundreds  of  goats,  which  he  kej)t  to  clear  his  ground,  as  he 
was  entitled  to  all  the  ground  he  cleared. 

His  amusements  were  hunting  and  fishing  and  visiting  the  Islands  in  a 
jdeasurc  boat,  which  he  managed  with  the  greatest  dexterity  in  the  roughest 
sea. 

He  had  twelve  Indian  chiefs  with  their  families  under  his  protection  and 
permitted  them  to  make  wigwams  on  his  j)lantation.  He  indulged,  j)itied, 
and  did  everything  in  his  power  for  them.  In  return  they  brought  him 
ganui,  wild  lowl,  fish  and  nnUs,  and  all  kinds  of  wild  fruits,  assisted  in  culti- 
vating his  lands  and  became  vt'ry  faillit'id  servants. 

He  married  a  JMiss  (jireen  a  Quaker  and  daughter  of  the  Governor  of 
Rhode  Island  by  whom  he  had  a  very  large  progeny.  At  the  time  of  his 
marriage  he  was  20  years  of  age  and  she  was  15,  they  lived  together  73 
years.  He  died  in  the  year  17(J0  in  the  99^''  year  of  his  age.  He  never 
had  a  grey  hair  in  his  head  or  lost  a  tooth  and  could  see  to  read  small  print 
by  moonlight. 

My  grandmother  died  in  the  year  17G1  in  the  80'''  year  of  her  age.  Her 
hair  was  white  as  snow  and  of  an  amazing  length.  So  very  thick  that  she 
was  obliged  to  have  it  thinned  every  month.  In  her  70th  year  she  lost 
every  tooth.  They  were  a  very  handsome  couple  and  enjoyed  perfect 
health  until  the  last  year  of  their  lives.  They  lived  with  great  regularity 
and  had  never  slept  separate  for  one  night  from  their  marriage,  except 
when  my  grandmother  was  lying  in. 

As  tlu'y  were  Ciuakers  they  brought  up  their  fanuly  in  that  religion. 
My  molher  was  their  youngest  daughter.  My  father's  name  was  William 
tStrengtlilield,  he  was  born  in  England,  and  was  the  only  surviving  branch

lie  nnurit'd  my  mother.  My  Father  was  strongly  attached  to  liis  Re- 
ligion, whieh  was  that  of  the  Chureh  of  England  and  by  strong  arguments 
he  eonvineed  my  Mother  that,  his  principles  were  hitter  than  hers  the 
C^nakers,  and  having  got  the  hette-rof  her  scruples,  she  was  Christened  and 
hapti/cd  in  the  same  lionr. 

They  liv.  d  for  u  few  years  in  a  slate  of  real  hapj)iness  (if  that  can  be  en- 
joyed in  this  world)  blessed  with  two  children,  myself  and  a  beautiful  boy 
whom  they  adored.  They  were  in  afiluent  cireumstanees,  caressed  and 
love<l  by  every  iidiabitant  of  the  Island  ;  when  alas  all  their  joy  and  de- 
li'ditful  prosptels  of  further  liappin<',sB  were  turned  into  the  deepest  distress, 
as  my  dear  lather  was  attacked  with  a  putrid  sore  throat  which  put  an  end 
to  his  life  in  .1  days  in  his  ;{.{"'  year. 

This  proved  nearly  fatal  to  my  dear  ISIotlier,  as  she  was  prematurely  de- 
livered of  twins.  This  brought  on  fever  and  consumption,  she  lingered  15 
years  and  1  trust  went  to  heaven,  as  she  was  good  in  every  sense  of  the 
word. 

She  had  a  tomb  erected  to  the  memory  of  my  Father,  which  she  visited 
every  Sunday  with  her  four  children,  and  spent  several  hours  in  bewailing 
our  great  loss  and  in  prayers  to  the  Ahniglity  to  grant,  her  ])atience  and 
stren^-th  to  go  through  this  severe  aflliction  for  the  .-^ake  of  her  dear  children, 
for  whom  alone  she  wished  to  live.  This  custom  she  kept  up  until  the  last 
Sunday  of  her  life. 

]\Iy  Father  left  £12,000  at  interest,  a  large  house  well  furnished,  with 
gardens,  orchards,  pleasure  gro\uids  and  outhouses,  in  the  broadest  street  in 
Newport,  with  H  negroes,  which  my  mcjther  was  to  keep  possession  of  for 
her  life  ;  after  which  it  was  to  go  to  my  eldest  brother.  The  money  was  to 
be  divided  icpially  between  the  four  children. 

But  a  few  months  before  my  jjoor  IMother's  death  and  what  put  a  finish- 
ing stroke;  to  all  her  sorrows,  was  I.ojx'S  the  great  -lew  merchant,  who  had 
ull  our  monies  in  his  hand  .  .  .  [Here  manuscript  stoi)S,  the  next  page

[At  llie  Gcnernl  Assembly  held  at  Newport,  3  May,  1743,  William  Strength- 
flcld  Willi  olliiTS  was  made  a  freeman  of  Kliode  Island. 

In  the  register  of  St.  Paul's  church  (Episcopal)  Narraganset,  appears  "  Thebe 
Strengthlleld,  wife  of  William,  daughter  of  Edward  Dyer,  clinical  baptism  at 
Quidilesset,  Dec,  I'J,  1711." 

In  Trinity  CImrch,  Newport,  were  baptized:  I'hebe,  2i)  May,  1742;  Lydia, 
17  Apr.,  1743;  William,  10  Feb.,  1745;  Edward,  22  Oct.,  1747;  Elizabeth,  22

Lydia  Strenglhlleld  was  married  in  Trinity  Church,  27  Oct.,  1705,  to  Fred-

312  Ancestry  of  Lydia  Strengthjield.  [July, 

daujfliter  of  William  and  Mary  (Sa}  Ics)  Greene,  and  lived  at  Aquidueset  or 
North  Kin;i;s  Town,  11.  I.  The  scarcity  of  vital  records  of  the  Dyer  family 
maUes  It  impossible  to  give  a  satis facU^ry  account  of  the  Dyers.  It  seems, 
however,  that  tlie  dates  in  the  acci)uut  arc  incorrect  and  tlie  marriage  of  a 
daughter  of  Gov.  William  Greene  (!:>.  KW"))  doul)tful. 

William  Greene,  -who  married  Mary  Sayles,  17  Dec,  1G74,  was  b.  1  March, 
1053,  and  was  a  son  of  Deputy  Governor  John  and  Aim  (i\lmy)  Greene). 

Dep.  Gov.  J(jhn  Greene,  in  his  will,  gives  to  his  grand-daughter,  ISIary  Dyer, 
£10,  and  Avith  the  probate  matters  is  a  receipt  of  Ed^vard  and  Mary  Dyer. 
These  last  were  the  parents  of  Thebe  Dyer,  who  married  William  Streugthlleld. 

In  1058,  it  is  said,  liftcen  Hebrews  came  to  Newport  bringing  with  otlier  rites 
the  first  three  degrees  of  Masonry.  Moses  Lopez  and  other  Jewish  families 
came  to  Newport  in  1750.  The  most  prominent,  Aaron  Lopez,  came  from 
Portugal  in  1752,  lie  w'as  refused  naturalization  hy  Rhode  Island  in  1702  and 
obtained  it  from  Massachusetts.  To  him  is  ascribed  nmch  of  the  commercial 
prosperity  of  Newport,  lie  espoused  the  American  cause  during  the  Revolu- 
tion, and  nearly  all  his  large  fleet  of  vessels  were  lost,  and  his  business  thereby 
wrcckeil.  He  Avould  have  retrieved  his  fortuue  after  the  war,  but  was  acci- 
dentally drowned  in  1762. 

Joseph  Gorham,  born  29  May,  1725,  at  Barnstable,  Mass.,  was  a  lieutenant  of 
Rangers  under  CoruAvallis  in  I71'.t,  and  also  served  Avith  the  Rangers  at  the 
second  c.ipture  of  Louisburg  in  175.S.  His  command  as  major  of  the  Rangers 
as  regular  troops  began  25  Sept.,  1701.  In  my  book,  "  Massachusetts  Soldiers 
in  the  West  Indies,"  Boston,  IDOO,  in  the  account  of  the  Capture  of  Havana  in 
17G2,  is  given  the  diary  of  Maj.  Joseph  Gorham,  the  original  of  Avhicli  is  iu 
the  Library  of  Harvard  College.  A  list  of  the  surviving  ollicers  of  Gorham's 
Rangers  does  not  include  Lieut.  Pitman.  Waltku  Kendall  Watki^js.] 

A  proof  of  Mr.  Pitman's  communication,  Avith  Mr.  Watkins's  notes,  having 
been  sent  to  jNIr.  Pitnnin,  the  editor  has  receivetl  a  letter  from  him  dated  April 
21,  rJUO,  from  Avhicli  these  extracts  are  nuide  : 

"  The  notes  of  Mr.  W.  K.  Watkins  are  of  much  interest  tome,  especially  that 
of  the  marriage  of  Lyilia  Strengtlilleld  and  Frederick  Cobl)e  Pitnuin  in  1705. 

The  date  conlirms  a  conji'clnre  of  mine  that  P.  C.  I'itman  Avas  previously

But  tile  .MSS.  is  not  very  accurate,  as  she  gives  the  date  of  her  oAvn  birth  as 
17  Ap.,  1710,  instead  of  17  .\p.,  1743." 

Ill  a  later  letter  Mr.  Pitman  adils  the  following : 

"  In  a  petition  of  his  to  Lord  Dartmouth  for  an  appointment  in  America,  dated 
1772  (Hist.  MSS.  C^onuuission,  11th  Report,  Appendix  10),  occurs  the  foUoAV-

:  '5  KMKRY  OF  HUGUENOT  BLOOD.  , 

IJy  (iiioiiOK  F.  Kmeky,  Esq.,  of  Portland,  Maine. 

AVliEV  tlio  inovt'ineut  was  inaugurated  for  collecting  materials  for  pul)- 
lishing  u  giMcalogical  history  of  the  descendants  of  John  and  Anthony 
Emery,  the  iminigrunts  from  England  in  1(135,  it  was  the  commoidy  received 
opinlim  that  their  ancestors  came  into  England  in  lOGG  as  followers  of 
"William  the  Conqueror.  Such  has'continued  the  jn-evalent  opinion  to  this 
<lay.  Uut  there  are  substantial  reasons  for  belief  that  these  immigrants 
Wf're  of  Huguenot  blood  and  extraction,  and  at  least  sulliciently  convincing 
to  eidi.st  investigation  for  determining  which  of  these  two  theories  is  the 
correct  one. 

Smiles,  in  his  history  of  tlie  Huguenots,  says  that  after  the  massacre  of 
St.  Bartholomew,  which  occurred  August -il,  1572,  "along  the  western  sea- 
board, at  points  where  tluiy  felt  themselves  unable  to  make  head  against 
their  persecutors,  they  i)ut  (o  sc'a  in  ships  and  boats,  and  made  for  England, 
where  they  landed  in  great  numbers  at  Kye,  at  Hastings,  at  Southampton 
and  the  nmnerons  other  ports  on  the  south  coast.  'J'his  was  particularly  the 
<'as('  with  till'  arti/ans  and  skilled  labor  class,  whose  means  of  living  are  in- 
variably imperiliMl  by  a  state  of  civil  war;  and  they  tied  into  England  to 
endeavor  it  possible  to  jnirsue  their  respective  callings  in  peace,  while  they 
worshiped  (lod  according  to  tlu;ir  conscience."  Few  of  the  refugees 
brought  any  |)roperty  willi  them,  he  adds,  the  greater  number  being  entirely 
(lestilnte.  "  Hnt  very  nmny  of  them  brought  that  kind  of  wealth  which 
money  could  not  buy— intelligence,  skill,  virtue  and  the  spirit  of  indepen- 
dence." J5etween  August  27  and  November  4,  six  hundred  and  forty-one 
landed  at  Kye,  which  is  situated  at  the  south-west  extremity  of  the  great 
Rotnney  Marnh. 

Says  (he  same  author,  under  the  policy  of  Laud  by  which  Charles  I.  was 
guided,  they  found  themselves  exposed  to  the  same  kind  of  persecution  from 
which  they  fled  iido  England.  '' The  greater  number  of  the  non-conformist 
foreigners  emigrated  with  their  families  to  North  America  and  swelled  the 
nund)ers  of  the  little  colony  already  formed  in  INIassachusetts  Hay,  which 
eventually  laid  the  foundations  of  the  great  N.  E.  States." 

Tn  the  appendix  to  his  work,  among  the  Huguenot  refugees  and  their  de- 
ecendants,  is  the  following:  "  Emiris.  A  refugee  family  of  this  name  fled 
out  of  France  at  the  nnissacre  of  St.  Bartholomew,  and  purchased  a  small 
property  in  Norfolk,  which  descended  from  father  to  son,  and  is  still  (1808) 
in  the  possession  of  the  family,  at  present  re})resented  by  AV.  li.  Emiris,  F]s(}., 
of  South  Lincolnshire."

314  Emery  of  Huguenot  Blood.  [July, 

Til  188t  was  publislied  in  London  "the  Koll  of  the  Huguenots  settled  in 
the  United  Kiiiii'doui,"  wliich  embraces  lour  hundred  iind  sixty  names.  The 
chart  containiny  these  names  is  encompassed  on  both  sides  by  coats  of  arms 
to  the  number  of  thirty-live.  Accompanying'  it  is  a  key  "  by  Mrs.  Philip 
Champion  Crespigny,"  the  preface  of  which  is  as  follows : 

"  'J'he  following  work  is  intended  merely  as  a  '  key  '  to  the  accompanying 
'  Roll  of  the  lluguent)ts,'  there  being  several  large  works  on  tliat  most 
interesting  suliject.  The  chief  object  has  been  to  collect  the  coats  of  arms 
borne  by  the  principal  families  at  the  date  of  their  settling  in  England. 
'I'hen;  are  doubtless  many  more  e(]ually  worthy  of  being  placed  on  the 
'  Koll,'  but  owing  j)artly  to  want  of  space  and  i)artly  to  the  dillieulty  of 
obtaiuiiiL;  the  necessary  information  from  the  hea<ls  of  the  various  families, 
the  compiler  has  found  it  impossible  to  insert  them.  The  short  accounts  in 
the  pamphlet  have  been  collected  from  the  dilft'i-ent  works  on  the  Huguenot 
Ifefugees,  and  from  manuscripts  kindly  lent  by  several  representatives  of 
the  Huguenot  families.  (Signed)  Kou.nd  Hill, 

Lyndhurst." 

From  this  key  the  following  is  extracted : 

"  Enierys. 

Jean  Enu/rys  was  the  first  of  tliis  name  who  settled  in  P^ngland.  He  fled 
from  Langue  in  Champagne,  where  the  Huguenots  were  numerous,  soon 
after  the  massacre  of  8t.  Bartholomew's  day,  and  settled  at  Southwood  in 
Norfolk,  where  his  descendant  still  owns  the  property  then  obtained  by 
marriage." 

In  this  connection  it  may  be  stated  tliat  John  and  Anthony,  before 
coming  to  this  country,  evidently  resided  in  the  vicinity  where  the  French 
refugees  made  their  new  home,  near  Southampton,  whence  the  former  em- 
barked in  "  the  good  Ship  James,"  in  1G35,  for  Boston. 

Next  as  to  the  name.  Kev.  Kuf  us  Emery,  the  esteemed  President  of  the 
Emery  Association,  in  his  annual  address  of  18l>7,  demonstrated  the  fact  that 
the  name  is  not  originally  British.  The  late  'J'hoinas  C.  Amory,  in  a 
learned  ])aper  read  to  the  Emery  tribe  at  one  of  its  earliest  gatherings, 
came  to  the  same  conclusion  after  a  searching  investigation,  and  showing 
that  the  modern  Amory  and  Emory  were  of  the  same  slock.  Tliose  who 
are  familiar  also  with  the  genealogical  history  of  the  Emery  family  cannot 
fail  to  have  observed  that  the  given  name  John  has  been  very  j)roniinent  all 
along  the  line,  corresponding  with  Jean,  the  re})uted  first  settler  in  England. 

Again,  John  and  Anthony  were  of  the  so-called  middle-interest  class, 
neither  rich  nor  poor,  carj>enters  by  trade,  dependent  \\\nm  peace  and  good 
order  for  favorable  opportunity  to  jirosecute  their  life  work,  also  corres- 
ponding with  the  description  given  by  Smiles  of  the  Huguenot  Refugees. 
lu  religion,  they  were  independents,  and  great  sticklers  for  the  rights  of 
conscience,  not  oidy  for  themselves  but  for  others,  especially  the  Quakers, 
whom  they  befriended  and  for  which  they  were  persecuted  and  punished. 
They,  as  did  the  Huguenots,  expatriateil  themselves  from  their  native  land, 
that  they  might  enjoy  religious  freedom,  aiul  were  not  of  those;  who  claimed 
it  for  themselves  with  the  added  privilege  of  persecuting  those  who  diil'ered 
from  them.  In  short,  they  possessed  all  the  characteristics  of  the  Huguenots, 
and  which  in  a  nuirked  degree  have  been  transmitted  to  their  New  England 
})Osterity. 

The  conclusion  is  therefore  almost  forced  upon  us  that  the  blood  of  the 
Huguenots  still  Hows  in  the  veins  of  the  New  England  Emerys.

V.  Ei.i/Aiuvrii,  born  18  August,  1744  (24th  Bei)ort  of  Record  Coni- 
inissioiiers,  p.  253.)  She  married  7  ]\Iay,  17G7,  Ebenezer  Hancock, 
;.    ,'  yJiiMger  brother  of  Gt)v.  John  Hancock.    See  a  table  of  the  •-•ene- 

alogy  of  the  Hancock  fMiuily  in  N.  E.  Historical  and  Geueahi-'ical 
Register,  Vol.  Ix.,  p.  352.  Also  American  Ancestry,  Vol.  viii.,  p. 
212.  In  both  these  authorities  her  name  is  given  as  Eliza —a 
contraction  for  Elizabeth.  I  have  not  yet  fouiid  any  other  record 
ol  her  niarnnge.  At  the  time  of  their  marriage,  Ebenezer  Han- 
cock, b.  2G  Nov.,  1741,  was  25  yrs.  7  mos.  of  age,  and  his  wife  22 
yrs.  8  months— very  suitable  ages.  It  has  been  maintained  by 
some  genealogists  that  the  wife  of  Ebenezer  Hancock  was  Eliza- 
beth, dan.  of  Michael  and  Abigail  (Coney)  Lowell.  This  error  is 
repeated  in  the  Lowell  Genealogy,  p.  35.  Michael  Lowell  had  a 
daughter,  Elizabeth,  b.  14  Nov.,  1735  (see  ante).  If  she  were  the 
wile  ol  Ebenezer  Hancock,  she  would  have  been  32  years  old  at 
her  marriage  and  nearly  seven  years  older  tlian  her  husband.  Rea- 
sons, to  me  conclusive,  for  believing  Elizabeth,  dan.  of  Ebenezer 
and  Mary(lieed)  Lowell,  to  have  been  the  wife  of  Ebenezer  Han- 
cock, were  published  by  me  in  the  Boston  Evening  Transcript,

Notes. — (1).  I  have  recently  ascertained,  through  the  kindness  of  Mr.  Abner 
C.  Goodell  of  Salem,  that  Mary  Reed  was,  in  truth,  the  daughter  of  Samuel  Reed 
of  Marblehead  and  wife  of  Ebenezer  Lowell,  though  no  record  of  her  birth  nor 
of  her  marriage  has  been  discovered. 

Samuel  Reed  of  Marl)lehea(l,  innholder,  died  testate  in  1718,  possessed  of  an 
estate  appraised  at  over  £20O0.  He  left  a  widow  (Mary,  who  afterward  mar- 
ried Nicholas  Andrews)  and  Ave  children,  two  of  whom,  Richard  and  Mary, 
were  minors.  In  1725  the  Avidow  was  appointed  guardian  of  the  minor  chil- 
dren. At  that  time  Mary,  the  younger,  Avas  12  years  of  age.  Deducting  12 
from  1725  gives  171.'?  as  the  date  of  her  birth.  Her  age  at  the  birlh  of  her  tlrst 
born  child  John,  in  17;U,  must  therefore  have  been  21. 

That  Mary  Heed,  daughter  of  Sauuiel,  was  the  wife  of  Ebenezor  Lowell, 
clearly  appears  from  several  lieeds  recortled  in  the  Essex  Registry  relating  to 
the  estate  of  her  father,  viz.  : — 

1732.  Lib.  01  fol.  150,  John  Reed  et  al.  Division.  Indenture  of  Partition  be-

(2).  'i'lie  Lowell  Ci'uealogy  (imge  31)  onnts  the  two  daughters,  Sarah  and 
Mary,  and  though  the  birth  of  Kllzabcth  is  given  correctly,  it  is  adiletl  that  she 
"dietlJulyO,  1715,  age  11  mos."  Another,  and  tlrst  born,  son  is  also  given 
(Ebenezer  b.  at  Boston,  Mass.,  May  10,  1732),  of  Avhom  I  have  no  knoAvledge. 

(3).  Fuwle.  I  insert  this  name  on  information  given  by  Mr.  Henry  Ernest 
"Woods  Avho  did  not  give  his  authority  for  it.  The  author  of  the  LoAvell  Gene- 
alogy (p.  34)  gives  the  same  name,  together  Avith  the  date  of  the  marriage  to 
John  LoAvell  as  foUoAvs  : — 

"ra.  at  iMarblehead,  Mass.,  by  Rev.  John  Barnard,  July  10  1759,  Mrs.  Sarah

Ebenezer  Lowell,  father  of  Mrs.  Elizabeth  (Lowell)  Hancock,  was  the  son  of 
'EbeiK-zer  Lowel  and  Klizabeth  his  wife,'  and  was  born  .Tniie  5,  1701.  (See 
'»4tli  Uept)rtof  Uecord  Commissioners,  al)ove  cited,  page  8.)  Micliael  Lowell 
^>us  his  brother,  born  Dec.  22,  17U'J.  (See  as  above,  page  02.)  Micliael  also 
had  a  daughter,  Klizabeth,  born  Nov.  14,  1735  (Id.,  p.  222),  Avho  was  conse- 
<in.'nlly  a  conhin  of  Elizalieth,  danghter  of  Ebenezer,  and  several  years  older. 

The  family  name  of  Mary,  ^vife  of  Ebenezer  Lowell,  is  not  known  to  me. 
They  had  a^  per  2Uh  Kep^'i't  of  Record  Commissioners:  John,  born  April  1, 
17;l»  |>.  217;  Colford,  born  .Ian.  8,  1735,  p.  222;  Sarah,  born  A|)ril  10,  1738,  p.

Sarah,  the  eldest  ihuigliter,  was  married  ( l)y  Dr.  Clianncey  of  First  Chnrch) 
to  Edward  iUanchard,  Dec.  (J,  175'J,  according  to  tlic  entry  made  by  her  hus- 
band in  a  family  record  begnn  in  1722  by  his  father,  Joshua  Blanchard,  and 
continued  by  his  descendants.  Tlie  date  of  his  wife's  birth  is  also  given,  April 
10,  1738,  as  in  the  Town  Records,  but  not  the  names  of  '^ler  parents.  Ed- 
Avard  lu'ancliaixl,  son  of  Joshua,  was  my  maternal  gri'at-grandfather. 

Mary  the  second  danghter,  married,  April  2(;,  1770,  Jonathan  Rowman  of 
Maine.  She  w  as  then  tlie  '  wid.  Emerson,  dan.  of  ICbenezer  Lowell  of  Boston. 
(See  'Genealogies  of  Watertown,'  by  Henry  Bond,  M.D.,  vol.  ii.,  p.  0'J3.) 
There  can  be  no  doubt  tliat  Sarah  (Lowell)  Blancliard,  who  was  my  great- 
grandmother,  Mary  (Lowell)  Bowman  and  EUzabetli  (Lowell)  Hancock  were 
sisters  and  daughters  of  Ebenezer  and  Mary  Lowell.  E-  W." 

To  this  I  may  add  that  ''  Aunt  Ilencock,"  as  the  name  was  pronounced 
by  her  couteiniioraries,  was  a  very  familiar  name  to  me  in  my  boyhood. 
My  moilicr,  Sarali  (Blaiicliunl)  Whctdwright,  born  in  1792,  used  often  to 
fipeak  of  Iii'r.  As  a  school-girl,  she  frcMiueiitly  visited  lier  ^n-eat-aunt,  her 
^raiKhnoiher  Lowell's  sister,  at  her  residence  in  the  Hancock  mansion  on 
lieacoii  Sireiit.  Slu^  bi-cMine  a  great  favorite  witli  the  okl  hidy,  who,  among 
other  favors,  bestowed  uiioii  her  a  book,  in  two  volumes,  in  each  of  which 
she  bad  written  her  name  "  Klizabeth  Lowell."  The  book  was  entitled  : 
"Serinons  to  Young  Women,  by  the  KevereiRl  Dr.  Fordyce,  Trinted 
MDCCLWII,"— tiie  year  of  her  marriage.  Where  it  was  printed  is  not 
•    stated.     It  is  now  in  my  possession.

PETER  MALLORY,   NEW  HAVEN,   CONN.,    1644,   AND 
SOME  OF  HIS  DESCENDANTS. 

By  James  Suepaiid,  New  Britain,  Conn. 

irV.  ^^^ZI'^  Mallory  signed  tlie  planters'  covenant  at  New  Haven,  Conn, 
i?  ,  .r  ,,"'"'^*^  ''^  variously  spellcHl  in  the  early  records  there  as  Mallerv 

Malery,  Mallary,  Malary,  IMallorye,  IMalorie,  ]\iallorv  and  IMalory,  but  iu 
later  year.s_  It  most  frequently  appears  as  "Mallory.''     The  wife  of  Peter 
Malary  united  with  the  first  church  of  New  Haven  in  1GC3.     On  Jan    2 
1087,  Peter  Mallery  of  New  Haven,  planter,  gives  land  to  his  son  Peter! 
whereof  1  the  saul  Peter  Mallary  with  Mary  my  wife  have  hereunto  put 
our  hands  and  seal,    both  signing  by  mark,  his  mark  consisting  of  his  initials, 
1 .  M    a  step  higher  than  signing  with  a  simple  cross.     [New  ]Iaven  land 
recordss  vol.  1,  p.  370.]     This  Mary  was  probably  the  only   wife  he  ever 
Jjad.     His  home  lot  and  most  of  his  land  was  near  the  Milfo'rd  town  line  at 
a  place  commonly  calhxl  West  Side  Farms,  now  West  Haven,  in  the  town 
ot  Orange.      J  he  deed  to  his  son  Jolm,  dated  IMarch  25,  1 GM7,  was  of  "  land 
liemg  within  New  Haven  township  on  the  west  river  at  the  West  farms 
containing  one  acre  and  half,  boundc.l  by  the  highway  ihat  runneth  from 
the  Oyster  point  on  the  north,  on  the  East  by  land  of  J..hn  Clark,  on  the 
south  by  land  belonging  to  my  son  Thomas  JMallery,  on  the  west  by  a  path 
that   runneth   between   it  and   iny    other  land  whereon  I  dwell."     fNew 
Haven  land  records,  vol.  1,  p.  339.]     That  he  was  a  large  land  owner  is 
evidenced  by  numerous  deeds  on  record  in  vol.  1.     He  repeatedly  ^awQ  land 
to  his  sons  John,  Peter  and  Thomas.     Ho  also  gave  land  "by  Way  of  por- 
tion 111  part  witli  my  loving  daughter  liebecca  lUmnell,  to  my  loving  son-in- 
law  heiijaunn  JJunnell,"  dated  July  2,   IGHl,  and  to  his  "daughter-in-law 
Mary  MaUery  widow,  relict  of  Thomas   Mallery  my  son  lately  deceased, 
diu-ing  the  nonage  of  her  son  Thomas"  with  the  proviso  that  if  he 
die  before  he  is  twenty-one,  then  it  shall  go  to  her  son  Daniel  at  lawful  a^^e, 
and  it  he  die  then  to  her  son  Aaron,  and  if  they  three  all  die  then  "  it1)e 
and  remain  unto  my  said  daughter,  *  *  *  Signed  with  consent  of  my  son 
Peter  Jr."     April  L»S,  ICDl. 

On  Aug.  3(»,  Ui;)7,  he  deeded  all  his  "estate  undisposed  of  *  *  *  move- 
able, real  or  personal,  to  his  son  Peter  Husbandman  and  son  John  Cord- 
waiiier  "  m  consideration  of  life  suj.purt.  [Vol.  1,  p.  72!).]  This  deed  and 
one  or  two  otlu^rs  about  the  same  date  are  si-ned  by  a  simple  V  instead  of 
1  .  M.,  his  usual  mark.  He  was  undoubtedly  in  feeble  health  and  perhaps 
had  been  ieeble  for  many  years.  In  the  County  Court  Records,  vol.  1,  p.

balance  of  his  property,  and  In-forc  Nov.  24,  1701,  when  John  I\lalary  con-

In  the  present  number  of  these  Cleanings  I  shall  deal  almost  entirely 
with  eviihiiifs  collected  regarding  the  fauiily  of  the  great  I'^ounder  of  Penn- 
sylvania, whith  considerably  enlarge  and  correct  the  jiedigree  as  hitherto 
known.  Souu;  of  the  wills  and  Parish  Register  extracts  which  follow  have 
been  already  printed  by  me,*  but,  for  the  sake  of  perspicuity,  it  seems  best 
to  reproduce  them  here,  so  as  to  bring  together,  in  an  orderly  form,  all  that 
is  known  of  the  earlier  generations  of  this  historic  family.  Those  later 
wills  of  the  Eounder,  his  wife  and  sons,  which  have  already  been  printed  in 
these  pages  by  ]Mr.  II.  F.  Waters,  need  only  to  be  referred  to  here.t 

It  is  greatly  to  be  regretted  that  nothiug  has  yet  been  discovered  that 
throws  any  light  on  the  vexed  <iuestion  of  the  jiarentage  of  the  lirst  William

and  AViltshire  local  courts  i;ive  us  no  help  on  this  ])oint. 

I'erhaps  the  most  noteworthy  fact  which  has  been  developed  by  the 
search  of  the  Bristol  Rc;cords  has  been  the  light  thrown  upon  Giles  Penn, 
the  father  of  the  Admiral,  for,  beside  the  six  older  children  now  given 
liim,  we  clear  up  much  of  the  obsciu'ity  j^reviously  surrounding  his  history, 
and  dispose  finally  of  tlie  fallacious  statement  that  he  was  a  Captain  in  the 
Royal  Navy,  as  the  A2)prentice  and  Burgess  Books  show  clearly  that  he 
was  a  Draper  and  JNlercer  ;  nothing  in  his  record  indicating  any  other  than 
this  peaceful  occuj)ation.  It  may  be  that  his  second  son  Giles  was  the 
Naval  Captain,  but  it  is  diilicult  to  understand  how,  at  that  date,  such  con- 
fusion between  father  and  son  could  have  arisen,  although  Berry's  error, 
who  also  calls  him  a  Consul  in  the  JMcditerranean  (the  latter,  if  correct, 
perhaps  accounting  for  our  not  linding  his  burial),  is  more  excusable. t

The  above  is  the  earliest  mention  of  a  Penn  found  in  the  Briuckworth 
region,  and  may,  or  may  not,  have  been  the  bruther  of  William  of  JMinety. 
It  seems  at  least  certain  that  he  was  a  member  of  the  family  in  (piestion. 
The  next  occurrence  of  tho  name  is  the  aj)pearanee  of  William  I'enn  of 
Minety  whom  we  liud  paying  a  tax  of  liJs.  at  that  place  in  1541— 16. §  This 
is  certainly  the  William  of  our  pedigree  and  the  earliest  certain  date  in  the 
Founder's  direct  ancestry  which  J  have  yet  discovered.

had  already  printed,*  but,  unfortunately,  not  in  its  entirety,  as  it  was  read 
and  noted  in  the  fast  fadin-,'  twiliylit  of  an  EngliBJi  winter  afternoon  and 
the  important  iifth  line,  which  asserts  that  the  admiral  was  son  of  Captain 
Giles  Penn  and  descended  from  the  Penns  of  I'enn  in  Ikicks,  was  over- 
looked as  well  as  some  other  words — an  omission  which  has  been  com- 
mented upon,  both  by  some  of  my  own  compatriotsf  and  also,  with  visible 
animus,  by  an  English  curio  dealer  with  relics  of  the  Penns  of  IJucking- 
luunshire  for  disposal. |  _   _ 

To  those  who  know  me,  my  methods  of  work  and  constant  striving  after 
the  whole  truth  of  history,  1  need  put  up  no  defence  against  insinuations 
of  unfairness  or  suppression  of  facts;  if  indeed  the  very  absurdity  of 
attemi)tiuo-  to  garble  a  well  known  and  public  historic  monument  were  not 
sutlicii'ut.*  To  all  others  1  submit  my  later  reading  of  the  stone  taken  on 
a  bri'dit  summer  morning  wdien,  even  without  an  opera  glass,  every  word 
couhf  be  distinctly  seen,  with  my  regrets  that  this  slip,  natural  as  it  was, 
should  have  occurred. 

r.ut  while  admitting  the  fact  that  William  Penn  the  Founder  (undoubted 
author  of  the  inscription)  honestly  believed,  when  he  wrote  it,  both  that 
his  ii-randfather,  Giles  Penn,  was  an  othcer  in  the  Koyal  Navy,  and  also 
that^his  family  were  descended  from  the  well  known  Buckinghamshire  line, 
I  am  still  reluctant  to  believe,  until  better  and  more  direct  evidence  can  be 
adduced,  that  either  fact  is  as  there  stated.  That  "  Captain  "  GihiS  Penn 
was  in  reality  a  draper  of  Bristol  City  all  his  life,  or  at  least  for  forty 
years  of  it  (ITjO^  to  1G:52),  I  have  here  produced  indisputable  evidence 
from  the  Council  House  Kecords. 

As  to  the  descent  from  the  Penns  of  Bucks  or  any  other  armigerous 
branch  of  the  numerous  families  of  the  name,  it  would  be  interesting  to 
have  any  defender  of  that  theory  explain  wliy  Sir  William  Penn,  the 
admiral, "when  he  obtained  his  grant  of  arms  from  the  Herald's  College, 
did  not  register  bis  pedigree  and  descent  in  proof  of  his  claim  ;  iu  fact,  had 
he  done  s(7,  or  liad  he  had  a  birth  right  to  such  arms,  no  fresh  grant  would 
liave  been  necessary,  but  simply  a  coulirinatiou  of  arins^  to  whicli  he  was 
already  entitled.  The  actual  bearing  of  "  Argent  on  a  fess  Sable  three  plates  " 
lias  be'en  eummonly  used  by  Penns  "in  all  parts  of  the  Kingdom,  and  I  might 
cite  the  family  at  Stockton  iu  Salop,  whose  pedigree  of  fifteen  generations 
before  It'.OD  is  given  in  the  Visitations,^  as  being  cpiite  as  ])rob.able  ances- 
tors (from  propui.piity)  of  our  Wilts,  and  (Jloueestershire  folk  as  the  Bucks 
family,  and  all  no  doubt  sprung  from  some  common  AVelsh  or  ancient  Brit- 
ish r()ot.  Ihit  all  this  is  pure  speculation  and  out  of  our  province  of  dealing 
with  i)roven  facts.  Sooner  or  later  evidence  will  no  doubt  be  found  aililiat- 
uig  William  Peiin  of  IMinety,  and  until  then  let  us  hesitate  to  accept  tradi- 
ticm,  even  from  the  weighty  pen  of  the  great  and  good  Quaker,  i)articularly 
when  coupled  with  so  grave  an  error  regarding  his  own  grandfather.

The  search  for  Penns  in  this  Register  was  not  ])ursued  beyond  1646  and 
very  probalily  there  are  later  entries,  as  wills  show  the  family  to  have  been 
still  at  Rodborne  twenty  years  later. 

The  parish  register  of  IJriukworth,  most  unfortunately,  lias' perished  be- 
fore 1653.  The  Vicar  there.  Rev.  AVilliam  de  Quetteville,  informs  me  that 
a  search  after  that  date,  which  he  kindly  instituted,  failed  to  yield  a  single 
entry  of  the  name.  In  the  P>ishop's  Transcripts  at  Sarum  twelve  frag- 
mentary years  exist  between  1572  and  1653,  but  these  also  show  no  in- 
stance of  the  name  of  Penn  although  a  most  careful  search  in  person  was 
made.

THOMAS  PETER  OF  SAYBROOK  AND  MYLOR. 

By  Mrs.  Eleanor  Braulut  Petees. 

Thomas  Peter,  the  older  brother  of  the  celebrated  Hugh,  was 
the  second  child  and  first  son  of  Thomas  Dirkwood  and  Martha 
Trefircy,  and  was  baptized  in  Fowey,  Cornwall,  in  1597. f  He 
matriculated  from  Brasenose   College,    Oxford,    1610;     graduated 

B.  A.  June  30,  1G14  ;  and  took  his  degree  of  M.A.  April  G,  1G25.| 
For  many  years  he  was  vicar  of  JNIylor  in  his  native  county.  He 
left  England  probably  in  1643,  being  driven  out  of  Cornwall  by  the 
troops  of  Sir  Ralph  llopton,  and  readied  America  in  1644.  In  the 
sununer  of  1645  he  was  at  Saybrook,  Connecticut,  and  afterward 
was  with  the  younger  Wiuthrop  at  the  l^equot  l-*lantation.  AVhen 
this  became  the  permanent  settlement  of  iS'ew  London,  he  was  ap- 
pointed in  ^lay,  1616,  its  first  minister,  and  as  he  "intended  to in- 
habite  in  the  said  plantation,"  was  associated  by  the  Coiu't  at  Bos- 
ton with  A\'inthrop  in  its  management. 

He  was,  however,  soon  taken  ill,  and  receiving  an  invitation 
from  his  old  parish  iu  Cornwall  to  return  there,  he  sailed  from  Bos- 
ton in  December,  1646.  He  continued  at  JMylor  until  his  death  in 
1654,  in  the  57th  year  of  his  age.  A  gravestone  in  the  church- 
yard records  his  memory. §  Several  letters  of  his  are  publislied  in 
the  Massachusetts  Historical  Collections,  and  he  gives  the  impres- 
sion of  being  a  somewhat  eccentric  character. 

The  foihnving  is  a  copy  of  liis  will,  which  was  given  to  my 
brother,  Mr.  AVilliam  Rielnnond  J'eters  of  New  York,  by  Thurston

[For  many  years  I  have  been  gathcrun?  niaterhil  for  a  proposed  work,  "  Four 
Famous  F.'unilies,"  to  give  some  account  of  tlie  families  of  St.  John,  Throck- 
morton, Willouu'liljy,  and  Sands,  especially  in  the  descendants  through  female 
lines,  doAvn  to  tlietinie  of  the  Commonwealth.  I  believe  these  families  are  the 
four  great  pillars  of  Elizabethan  England,  replacing  the  great  feudal  earls.  The 
St.  John  faniil}'  was  essentially  Welsh  and  brethren  of  the  royal  family  of  Tu- 
dor by  the  half  blood.  Hence  their  powerful  position.  In  the  flrst  generation 
they  were  divided  into  two  sections,  the  senior  line  at  Bletsoe  in  Beds  and  the 
junior  line  at  Lidiard  Tregoze  in  Wilts.  Both  these  localities  were  hotbeds  of 
ruritauisni,  and  many  of  our  early  pioneers  were  connected  with  the  two  St. 
John  houses.    In  the  struggle  for  religious  and  political  liberty,  two  St.  Johns,  a

cadet  of  either  house,  were  especially  prominent.  From  the  Bletsoe  line  came 
Oliver  St.  John,  the  terrible  solicitor-general  ("  Cromwell's  black  lanthoru"), 
•vvho  brought  successively  to  the  block  the  heads  of  Thomas  Wentworth,  Wil- 
liam Laud,  and  Charles  Stuart  by  his  sledge  hammer  logic,  drawn  from  the  con- 
stitutional practice  of  England.  The  solicitor-general  had  a  sister  in  our  Lynn, 
and  himself  married  a  sister  of  our  John  Oxenbridge.  From  the  line  of  Lidiard 
Tregoze  came  the  testator  here  given.  Lord  Grandison  was  the  puritan  lord 
deputy  to  Ireland.  He  was  recalled  to  make  way  for  the  apostate  reactionary 
Wentwoi'th,  who  plotted  in  Ireland  his  treason  against  the  liberties  of  England, 
which  eventually  cost  hira  his  head.  Sir  Oliver  St.  John  attracted  over  to  Ire- 
land many  of  the  most  ardent  spirits  of  Puritanism,  and  many  of  his  own  cous- 
enry,  and  the  triumph  of  the  court  faction  on  St.  John's  recall  doubtless  drove 
many  of  these  adventurers  into  Ireland  to  cross  the  ocean  to  New  England.  At 
least  we  know  that  many  of  our  early  settlers  had  been  in  Ireland  previously. 
This  is  of  course  the  title  will  for  the  1G31  wills  in  the  Prerogative  Court  of 
Canterbury.  Viscount  Grandison  was  the  second  son  of  Nicholas  St.  John  and 
Elizabeth  Blount.  His  younger  brother,  Richard,  was  ancestor  of  the  Irish  St. 
Johns,  and,  I  think,  possibly  of  our  Mathew  St.  John,  who,  by  the  way,  lived 
in  St.  Botolph,  Bishopsgate,  in  Loudon,  before  going  to  Connecticut. — L.  W.] 

St.  John  Hobson  of  Fairlighe,  Sussex.  Will  G  March  1587-8  ;  proved

St.  John,  a  neice  of  Viscount  Grandison.  The  exact  relationship  is  somewhat 
obscure. — L.  W.]

my  long  life).  Will  5  March,  1G05-G;  proved  22  October  1G07.  To  be

[Here  is  another  Richard  lugersoU  {Inkcrson  being  a  mere  corruption),  with 
no  clew  to  the  exact  connection  of  Richard  of  Salem,  rare  as  is  tliis  surname. 
See  Emraerton  and  Waters's  "  Gleanings  "  and  my  "  Abstracts  "  in  the  present 
volume  of  the  Rkgisteu  (page  94).  I  discovered  in  tlie  Alnwick  Tower  at 
Lincoln,  in  the  bishop's  transcripts,  that  Richard  Ingersoll  did  come  immediately 
from  JJedfordshire  after  all,  wherever  was  his  place  of  origin.  He  was,  it 
seems,  married  at  Sandj',  20  October,  IGKl,  to  Agnes  Langley.  She  is  not  easily 
identifletl  in  the  various  Langley  wills  at  Northampton,  not  being  mentioned  by 
her  married  name  so  far  as  I  can  Jind.  We  know  she  was  a  cousin  of  John 
Spencer  of  Newbury,  and  this  makes  him  a  probable  connection  of  the  Connec- 
ticut Spencers,  who  are  supposed  to  originate  in  Bedfordshire. — L.  W.j

THE  PARENTS  OF  REV.  RICHARD  MATHER. 

William  Ferguson  Irvine,  Esq.,  honorary  treasurer  of  the  Parish 
Register  Society,  4  Eaton  Road,  Birkenhead,  England,  writes  to  the  Editor 
of  the  Rrgisteu  under  the  date  of  JMareh  19,  1900,  as  follows: 

Dear  Sir: 

Adverting  to  the  Notes  on  the  Mather  Family,  printed  in  the 
Reqistku  in  18t)3,  from  the  pen  of  Mr.  J.  Paul  Rylands,  I  now 
send  an  extract  from  tlie  Parish  Register  of  Warrington,  which 
looks  very  much  as  if  it  might  refer  to  the  marriage  of  the  parents 
of  the  Rev.  Richard  Mather.  You  will  remember,  doubtless,  that 
bamuel  Clark,  in  his  Life  of  Mather,  says  that  "his  parents  Thomas 
(^  Margaret  Mather  were  of  ancient  families  in  London."  Richard 
himself  was  born  in  159 G.

The  entry  is  as  follows  :

Thomas  Mather  &  Margrett  Abra  the  same  \_i.e.  married  30'^  day]. 

The  entry  is  made  in  a  little  larger  hand  writing  than  that  pre- 
ceding and  succeeding  it,  and  so  looks  as  if  they  were  people  of 
more  consequence  than  the  usual  run  of  folk. 

There  Avas  a  family  of  Abrams  or  Abrahams  in  Warrington  at  the 
time  who  were  strong  Puritans  ;  at  all  events  their  chihlren  in  the 
first  half  of  the  17th  century  were,  so  that  this  also  tends  to  confirm 
the  Bupposition.

James  Allen  of  Boston.— Under  date  of  22  Sept.,  1742  (Boston  Records), 
are  recorded  the  marriage  intentions  of  James  Allen  and  Mary  Adams,  both  of 
Boston.  The  New  South  Church  records  give  the  date  of  their  marriage  as  11 
Nov.,  17-42. 

INIary  Adams  was  the  daughter  of  Capt.  Samuel  and  Mary  (Fiflcld)  Adams,  b. 
at  Boston,  30  July,  1717.     She  was  a  sister  of  Gov.  Samuel  Adams. 

Now  who  was  James  Allen,  her  husband?  I  have  been  unable  to  And  any 
published  record  which  ideutilles  this  particular  James  Allen,  and  as  there  were 
several  James  Aliens  iu  Boston  about  this  time,  the  possibility  of  tracing  hini 
seemed  very  doubtful.  After  a  careful  search  I  have  located  him  as  a  son  of 
Joseph  and  Abigail  (Savil)  Allen,  of  Braintree,  b.  there  12  July,  1708.  In  trac- 
ing his  ancestry  I  have  also  made  other  discoveries  which  I  believe  Avill  be  of 
interest.  , ,      , 

On  18  Feb.,  1730,  James  Allen,  "  Taylor,"  of  Boston,  deeded  two  pieces  of  land 
in  Braintree  to  William  Allen  of  Braintree  (Suflblk  Beg.  of  Deeds,  Vol.  53,  p. 
239).  The  lirst  piece  was  bounded  "southerly  on  a  certain  piece  of  laud  in 
partnership  l)ctwecn  the  Heirs  of  John  Allen  and  Benjamin  Allen  late  of  Bran- 
try  Dec'i."  The  second  was  described  as  follows:  "  Also  one  quarter  Bart  of 
about  Two  acres  of  Kocky  Land  with  the  Landing  Place  and  Wharf  thereon,  th9 
whole  l)eing  in  I'artnership  as  is  above  mentioned." 

On  8  April,  1737  (Sutlolk  Keg.  of  Deeds,  Vol.  54,  p.  121),  Thomas  Vinton, 
Jr.,  and  ]\lehitabel  his  wife  deeded  to  William  Allen  one  quarter  of  the  last 
described  lot  alcove.  This  William  Allen  was  sou  of  Benjamin  Allen,  above, 
who  died  1732.  The  partnership  arose  from  a  deed  (Sullulk  Beg.  of  Deeds, 
Vol.  38,  p.  11)3),  27  March,  1725,  of  "Joscpli  Allen,  Sen'  of  Brantry  "  to  his 
"  tAvo  Sons  .loscph  Allen  and  Benjamin  Allen  both  of  Hrantry."  Meiiitabel 
Vinton  was  ilaughter  of  Joseph  and  Abigail  (Savil)  Allen,  of  Braintree,  b.  30 
May,  1717,  and  m.  15  Jan.,  1735,  Thomas  Vinton,  Jr.  Joseph  and  Abigail  had  a 
son  James,  b.  in  Braintree,  12  July,  1708. 

Joseph  Allen  d.  10  April,  1727.  Ills  widow  Abigail  was  appointed  administra- 
trix, but  there  is  no  distribution  of  his  estate  on  record.  The  two  deeds  above 
prove  that  James  Allen,  "  Taylor,"  of  Boston,  and  Mehitabel  (Allen)  Vinton  had 
an  equal  share  in  this  partnership  property,  and  they  must  have  been  brother 
and  sister.

350  JSfotes  and  Queries.  [July, 

In  the  division  of  Capt.  Samuel  Adams's  estate,  27  July,  1761  (Suflfolk  Reg.  of 
Deeds,  Vol.  9(5,  p.  184),  James  Allen  of  Boston,  husband  of  Mary  (Adams) 
Allen,  is  described  as  a  "  Taylor."  There  can  be  no  doubt  that  the  James  Allen 
of  Boston,  "  Taylor,"  named  in  the  deed  to  William  Allen  and  in  the  distribution 
of  Capt.  Samuel  Adams's  estate,  are  the  same  person  and  that  he  was  a  son  of 
Joseph  Allen,  Jr.,  of  Brintree. 

Joseph  Allen,  Jr.,  b.  12  Dec,  1671,  was  son  of  Dea.  Joseph  and  Rebeckah 
Allen  (Braintree  Town  Records).  In  regard  to  the  wives  and  children  of  Dea. 
Joseph  Allen  the  records  are  confusing.  Braintree  Records  (printed)  p.  718, 
say  "  Joseph  AUiu  and  Ruth  Leader  m.  11  mo.  30,  1670."  I  give  the  children  as 
recorded : 

Page  049,  Joseph,  b.  10  mo.  12,  1671,  son  of  Joseph  and  Rebeckah. 
050,  Abigail,  b.  (prob.  1073),  daughter  of  Joseph  and  Ruth. 
651,  Samuel,  b.  12  mo.  5,  1074,  son  of  Joseph  and  Ruth. 
055,  Benjamin,  b.  31  Oct.,  1G79,  son  of  Joseph  and  Ruth. 
G50,  Rebeckah,  b.  9  Dec,  1681,  daughter  of  Joseph  and  Rebeckah. 
664,  John,  b.  8  July,  1686,  son  of  Joseph  and  Rebeckah. 
065,  Mary,  b.  13  April,  1688,  daughter  of  Joseph  and  Rebeckah. 

Are  these  the  children  of  the  same  parents  or  were  there  two  Joseph  Aliens  at 
Braintree  at  this  time?    The  Boston  Records  of  Births  give : 

Rebecca,  of  John  and  Abigail  Leader,  b.  10th  2  mo.,  1652. 

Abigail,  of  John  and  Abigail  Leader,  b.  29  May,  1653. 

Tliomas,  of  John  and  Abigail  Leader,  b.  19  Nov.,  1654. 

John  Leader  was  son  of  Thomas  Leader  of  Boston.  He  died  before  his  father 
made  his  will  17  Oct.,  1663.  Samuel  Leader,  son  of  Thomas  above,  in  his  will 
probated  27th  of  5th  mo.,  1671,  names  Abigail  Leader,  Rebecca  AUin,  Thomas 
Leader,  "  my  Brother  John's  3  children,"  and  "  my  Bro.  Thomas  Bill's  7  children." 

In  Sullblk  Reg.  of  Deeds,  Vol.  12,  p.  108,  is  a  deed  dated  8  Oct.,  1678,  signed 
by  Thomas  Leader,  Experience  Orris,  "  Joseph  Allen  of  Brantry,"  Abigail  Orris 
and  Rebeckah  Allen. 

This  will  and  deed  prove  that  when  Samuel  Leader  made  his  will,  1671,  Rebecca 
Leader  was  married  to  some  Allen.  In  1678,  when  the  Leader,  Orris,  Allen  deed 
was  signed,  she  was  wife  of  Joseph  Allen  of  Brantry. 

In  Joseph  Allen's  deed  in  1725,  establishing  the  partnership  above  mentioned, 
he  says  to  his  "two  sons  Joseph  and  Benjamin,"  but  the  Braintree  Records  say 
Benjamin,  b.  31  Oct.,  1679,  was  "  son  of  Joseph  and  Ruth."  Here  certainly  is 
an  error,  and  as  there  are  no  records  except  the  marriage  record  at  Brantree  of 
a  Ruth  Leader,  and  as  Rebecca  was  the  wife  of  Joseph  Allen  in  1671,  it  is  safe 
to  say  that  Joseph  Allen's  ilrst  wife  was  Rebecca  Leader,  and  the  records  should 
read  Rebecca  instead  of  Ruth.  She  died  at  Braintree,  23  April,  1702.  He  mar- 
ried (2)  27  Jan.,  1704,  Lydia  Holbrook,  widow,  whom  he  mentions  in  his  deed 
to  Joseph  and  Benjamin  in  1725.  He  d.  20  March,  1726.  He  was  b.  at  Braintree, 
15  May,  1G50,  and  was  son  of  Samuel  Allen  and  his  second  wife  Margaret  Lamb, 
widoAv  of  Edward  Lamb. 

Another  discovery  which  I  made  in  this  search  was  in  regard  to  Abigail,  the 
second  wife  of  Thomas  Bill  of  Boston. 

In  the  Snflblk  Reg.  of  Deeds,  Vol.  11,  p.  138,  Thomas  Leader,  Joseph  Allen 
and  Experience  Orris  release  their  "  father-in-law,  Mr.  Thomas  Bill,"  from  all 
claims  they  may  have  against  him  under  wills  and  estates  of  John  Leader  and 
Samuel  Leader,  Experience  Orris  married  Abigail  Leader,  sister  of  Rebecca 
and  Thomas. 

The  only  Avay  that  Thomas  Bill  could  have  been  father-in-law  of  Joseph  Allen 
and  Experience  Orris  was  by  marrying  Abigail,  Avidow  of  John  Leader.  This 
also  would  explain  why  Samuel  Leader  in  his  will  left  property  to  "my  Bro. 
Thomas  Bill's  7  children." 

It  has  generally  been  accepted  tliat  Abigail,  wife  of  Thomas  Bill,  was  daughter 
of  Michael  and  Mildred  Willis.  Abigail  Bill,  according  to  her  gravestone 
(Copps  Hill),  was  born  1633.  Savage  says  ]\Iichael  Willis  by  wife  Joan  had 
Joseph,  bapt.  3  Feb.,  1639;  by  wife  Mildred  had  Michael,  b.  11  Nov.,  1652. 
Mildred  Willis's  will  proves  that  Abigail  Bill  was  her  daughter.  She,  however, 
must  have  been  by  a  former  husband,  so  that  Abigail's  maiden  name  probably 
was  not  Willis.     Can  anyone  give  any  information  on  this  point?

borough, Me.,  town  records  give  births  of  nine  children  from  Oct.,  1735,  to 
July,  1753,  of  parents  Christopher  Mitcliell  and  wife  Deborah.  In  the  division 
of  Kittery  common  lands,  2G  Nov.,  1744,  at  Brayboat  Harbor  Common,  Ciiris- 
tophcr  Mitchell,  deceased,  5  acres,  and  Christopher  Mitchell  2^  acres.  If  the

was  a  Ivichard  Mitchell  had  seven  acres  in  the  same  forty  acres,  and  the  second 
Christopher  was  prol)ably  a  relative  but  not  a  son  of  Christopher  senior,  though 
the  term  "senior"  does  not  appear  in  any  record  of  the  flrst  Christopher. 
There  is  a  deed,  vol.  2,  page  10,  York  Co.,  Me.,  22  April,  IOCS,  from  Francis  Mor- 
gan, surgeon  of  Kittery,  and  Sarah  his  wife,  conveying  marshland  to  John  Cutt, 
near  Christopher  Mitchell's  house  at  Brayboat  Harbor.  This  Sarah  Morgan  had 
been  widow  in  1CG4,  of  Capt.  John  Mitchell.  Have  seen  no  settlement  of  his

man  who  made  will  1739,  and  died  1743,  he  would  be  99  years  of  age,  allowing 
the  house  owner  of  1GG5  to  be  21  years  of  age  at  that  date.  This  is  possible, 
but  it  is  more  proljable  that  tlie  later  Christopher  was  of  another  generation,

INIitchell  to  his  brother  Joshua  Bracket  of  Casco  Bay,  and  that  deed  sets  forth 
tiiat  he  "  forujcrly  married  Mary  Bracket,  second  daughter  unto  Mr.  Thomas 
Bracket  of  Casco  Bay,  deceased,  by  whom  I  had  one  daughter  named  Mary." 

Willis's  Histoi'y  of  Portland  says  Thomas  Bracket  was  killed  by  the  Indians, 
167G,  and  his  family  into  captivity,  where  his  widow  died  same  year.  He  gives 
date  of  marriage  of  Christopher  Mitchell  and  Mary  Bracket,  1708.  As  they  had 
a  daughter  Mary  married  to  Charles  Brown  before  July,  1717,  evideiitly  the  date 
is  considerably  out  of  the  way.  It  would  also  appear  that  the  child  Mary 
Bracket  Mitchell  had,  was  born  before  1C93,  and  that  the  mother  was  born  1G76 
or  before,  as  both  her  parents  died  that  year. 

Christopher  Mitchell's  deed  to  Joshua  Bracket,  his  brother,  proves  the  parent- 
age of  Charles  Brown's  wife,  Mary  (Mitchell).

Historical  Intelligknck. 

Association  for  the  Preservation  of  Virginia  Antiquities. — The  found- 
ing of  the  Colony  at  Jamestown  in  1G07  was  the  first  of  the  English  settlements 
oil  this  continent  from  which  have  grown  the  United  States.  Every  detail  of 
the  life  of  that  Colony  is  of  concern  to  all  true  Americans. 

Scattered  throughout  Virginia  are  numerous  ruins  of  those  Colonial  days,  to 
which  the  antiquarian  ever  turns  with  patriotic  interest. 

Time  and  neglect  are  making  sad  havoc  with  these  landmarks,  and  if  decay 
is  not  soon  arrested,  important  links  in  our  history  will  be  broken,  never  to  be 
restored.  Impressed  with  these  facts,  and  with  the  need  of  concerted  action, 
"The  Association  for  the  Preservation  of  Virginia  Antiquities"  was  formed 
January  4tli,  1888,  in  Williamsburg,  the  Colonial  Capital  of  Virginia.  In  six 
years  they  have  accomplished  substantial  results. 

The  tlrst  step  was  to  purchase,  and  then  restore  the  Old  Colonial  Magazine  in 
Winiamsbarg,  commonly  known  as  the  "  Powder  Horn";  this  was  followed  by 
the  purchase  of  the  Mary  Washington  House  in  Fredericksburg — the  house  in 
which  the  mother  of  Washington  had  lived  and  died — ami  at  this  present  time 
the  Association  is  rescuing  from  the  hungry  waves  historic  Jamestown  itself. 
"When  it  is  known  that  in  the  last  twenty  years  180  feet  of  the  Island  have  been 
washed  away,  the  necessity  for  a  breakwater  is  apparent.  They  are,  through 
the  munificence  of  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Edward  E.  Barney,  of  "  Homewood,"  Virginia, 
the  sole  owners  of  that  portion  of  the  Island  on  which  are  located  the  Tower 
and  Graveyard.  The  fees  are  :  Life  Members,  $10.00  ;  Annual  Members,  $1.00.

Connecticut  'Commission  of  Purlic  Records. — Governor  Lonnsbury  of 
Connecticut  has  appointed  Rev.  Samuel  Hart,  dean  of  tjie  Berkley  Divinity 
School,  Jliddlctown;  Albert  C.  Bates,  librarian  of  the  Connecticut  Historical 
Society,  and  Dwight  E.  Bowers,  Treasurer  of  the  New  Haven  Colony  Historical 
Society,  a  commission  to  report  to  the  next  General  Assembly  concerning  the 
condition  and  best  methods  of  preserving  the  pu):)lic  records  of  the  state. 

The  act  under  which  the  commission  was  created  was  the  direct  result  of  the 
agitation  of  the  historical  societies  in  Connecticut. 


IIongrabi.e  Byron  Weston,  A.M. — In  the  sketch  of  the  life  of  Mr.  Weston  in 
the  Proceedings  recently  issued,  p.  ci,  there  is  confusion  as  to  his  immediate 
ancestry.  He  was  the  son  of  Isaiah,  Jr.,  and  Caroline  (Curtis)  Weston,  and 
grandson  of  Rev.  Isaiah  and  Sarah  (Dean)  Weston.  It  was  Isaiah,  Jr.,  who  re- 
moved to  Illinois  in  1835  and  died  there.  Lines  4  to  7  of  the  notice  are  correct 
as  applied  to  Isaiah,  senior.  No  one  can  regret  the  mistake  more  than  does  the 
writer,  who  took  pains  to  present  the  leading  features  in  the  life  of  Mr.  Wes- 
ton, but  having  no  personal  knowledge  of  the  Weston  family  M'as  misled  by  a 
vague  genealogical  statement.  Unfortunately,  errors  are  tenacious  of  life  and 
corrections  seldom  heeded.  George  K.  Ci.arkk. 


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  oftices, 
graduation  from  college  or  professional  schools,  occupation,  with  places  and

j5(„i(2._Speal<lnK  modestly,  I  liavo,  -without  a  doubt,  the  larpost  private  col- 
lection of  data  rolullng  to  the  IJond  families  of  New  Eiif^land  extant.  While 
not  tjcini^  able  to  add  much,  if  anythin^^  to  the  line  of  William  Bond,  of  Water- 
town,  whose  fandly  Dr.  Bond  so  exhaustively  transcribed,  I  have  a  mass  of 
matter  relating,'  to  the  family  of  John  Bond,  of  lloAvley-Ipswich-lIaverhill,  which 
brings  all  the  branches  within  easy  reach.  I  also  have  a  nearly  complete  gene- 
alogy of  the  family  of  Nicholas  Bond,  of  Hampton-Salisbury,  down  to  date.  It 
is  my  intention  to  prepare  and  place  on  hlc  at  the  rooms  of  the  Society,  trans- 
cripts of  my  compilations;  but  before  doing  so,  I  wish  to  positively  assure  my- 
seli"  of  a  few  points,  and  obtain  a  few  additional  facts.     Here  is  one  of  thera  : —    • 

A  "Nicholas  Bond"  was  made  a  "freeman"  at  Accomenticus  in  1(j52.  He 
was,  beyond  question,  the  Nicholas  Bond  who  was  connected  with  the  incor-  • 
poratiou  of  the  "  Iron  Works"  at  Braintree,  and,  perhaps,  at  Saugns.  He  mar- 
ried widow  Jane  Simpson,  the  daughter  of  Walter  Norton,  "  before  1650."  He 
is  lost  track  of  just  after  1(352.  His  wife  Jane,  with  a  son  by  her  tlrst  husband, 
Henry  Simpson,  are  in  evidence  as  late  as  1085.  Now,  my  ancestor,  Nicholas 
Bontl,  of  Hampton,  married  Sarah  Uowlandson  before  1085,  and  had  by  her  four 
Bons  prior  to  1700.  'I'liere  being  no  record  extant  that  the  Nicholas  of  Accomeu- 
ticu.->-Y()rk  ever  had  any  children  by  widow  June,  I  wish  to  discover  who  were 
the  parents  of  Nicholas,  of  Hampton. 

I  -will  be  glad  of  any  fraternal  assistance  to  satisfy  this  point;  and  also  will 
bo  pleased  to  impart  such  iufornurtiou  as  I  possess  to  any  one  interested  in  the 
lines  I  have  exhaustively  collated.  Aktiiuk  Thomas  Bond.

The  "  I'ioneers  of  Massachusetts  "  is  not  only  a  fresh  study  of  the  "  founders," 
but  in  a  <:;encrons  sense  is  a  contriljutiou  to  the  yenealoirical  history  Avhieli  binds 
together  Old  and  New  England.  The  title  expresses  its  pnrpfiseand  linntation. 
First  it  treats  of  the  "Pioneers,"  second  it  treats  of  those  pioneers  which 
founded  ]\Iassacliusetts.  Further,  it  is  a  descriptive  list,  and  the  data  it  makes 
use  of  is  from  original  and  contemporaneous  sources.  ]\Ir.  Pope  regards  a 
"  Pioneer"  as  a  person  who  came  into  Massachusetts  l)eforc  \(mO.  In  this  he  is 
iiXMierous.  Few  only  Avonld  have  complained,  if  he  had  drawn  the  line  at  "2  (f ) 
1G41." 

I\Ir.  Pope  renders  service  in  presenting  to  the  reader  the  "  occupations,  es- 
tates and  social  standing"  of  the  men  he  treats.  These  are  gained  from  pas- 
senger lists,  deeds,  wills  and  the  lists  of  the  Court  and  Church. 

The  renewal  of  the  study  of  tiie  Bradford  manuscript  in  recent  years  is  finely 
rejected  in  the  "Pioneers."  We  are  glad  to  note  that  Mr.  Pope  has  incor- 
po  -ated  without  hesitancy  the  statement  that  Moses  Maverick  married  Remem- 
ber, the  tlaughter  of  Isa.ac  /vllerton,  as  I5radford  said.  To  be  sure  full  proof 
for  the  same  Avas  in  Court  House,  Salem  [Probate  Ollice,  Docket  ;i0,(;i8], 
yet  there  has  i)een  a  persistent  refusal  to  accept  it.  Mr.  I'ope  also  gives  reply 
to  the  (piery  ""Who  was  Betty  Day?"  i)y  telling  us  that  she  was  the  daughter  of 
Elizabeth  Story  (a  daugld-er  of  Mrs.  .lolui  Cotton  by  a  former  husl)and),  avIio 
married  Weutworth  Day.  lie  also  inserts  the  data  that  Kouer  Coinint,  junior, 
married  Klizabetii,  oidy  daughter  and  heir  of  Thomas  Weston,  the  Weymouth 
adventurer.  To  be  sure,  these  items  have  been  before  published,  but  we  are 
glad  to  see  them  studied  and  incorjxirateil  into  a  book  wITk  h  becomes  a  standard 
authority  upon  the  foundations  of  Massachusetts  family  life. 

In  a  quiet,  absorbing  way  this  book  gathers  to  itstdf  the  data  developed  in 
rciceuL  (lays.  'I'he  publications  in  Fngland,  and  tlm  researcdu's  in  their  archives 
by  New  lOugland  students,  liave  coidrihided  mu(di  to  the  m;d<ing  of  this  book. 
]\Ir.  l'opi''s  person.'d  resear(di(s,  and  they  mw  many,  lead  him  into  close  com- 
paiuiuishi])  with  Mr.  Waters  and  to  whom  In:  is  under  many  obligations.  The 
"  (ileaiungs  In  l''ugland"  made  possible  many  of  the  most  interesting  data 
of  the  book.  The  pnges  of  the  Ui;(iisri;i;,  wliitdi  faithfid  workers  iuive  enriched 
by  their  lore  ami  research,  alfonled  assistance  In  the  great  undertaking. 

Mr.  Savage,  whatever  is  published  in  times  to  come,  still  remains  the  "  Prince" 
among  New  England  genealogists.  lie  wrought  better  than  he  knew.  He 
bla/A'd  the  way  among  unstudied  and  unmolested  manuscripts,  and  with  only 
slight  svnipathy  and  encouragement.  In  the  forty  years  since  the  publiitatiou 
of  "  Sa  'age  "  there  has  been  nmch  progress  nuide  and  more  interest  developed, 
so  that  a  l>ook  of  the  character  of  the  "  Pioneers  "  linds  a  constituency  awaiting 
it,  who  'vill  not  only  give  it  welcome,  but  the  very  advancement  in  genealogical 
knowledge  will  subject  it  to  scrutiny  such  as  "  Savage"  never  had.

Tlie  "  Pioneers  "  at  once  becomes  a  standard  book,  and  its  conclusions  must 
not  bi-  flipi.antly  set  aside.     It  is  a  boolv  fur  tlie  public  library,  and  also  should 
be  near  at  hand  to  the  loue  student  of  early  New  Eti-land.     It  becomes  a  com-

The  present  contribution  of  Mr.  George  E.  Littletleld  to  the  publications  of 
"  Tlie  Club  of  Odd  Volumes,"  is  a  most  valuable  one.  Mr.  Littletleld  has  been 
a  Boston  boolcseller  for  over  a  quarter  of  a  century,  and  during  this  time  many 
rare  and  curious  Boston  books  have  passed  under  liis  observation.  He  has  ex- 
amined them  critically,  and  tlicrc  are  few  of  tlie  peculiarities  ot  these  volumes 
tliat  are  not  known  to  him.  .       ^  ^.i  u„  v 

This  volume  is  beautifully  printed.  It  consists  of  accounts  of  those  book- 
sellers who  nourished  previous  to  the  disastrous  lire  of  1711,  m  which  all  the 
bookstores  in  the  town,  but  one,  were  burned.  All  dealers  in  books  wei-e 
obli'>-ed  therefore,  to  recommence  their  business  as  at  the  lirst.  As  introauc- 
torv'to  the  thirty  biographical  sketches,  there  are  chapters  treating  of  Colonia 
tim'es  in  Boston,  the  advent  of  printing  in  the  Colonies,  and  early  European  and 
Ani.-rh'an  Ixjoksellers.  The  illustrations  lend  a  very  vivid  emphasis  to  the 
narratives,  rci)roduclng  In  fac-sinrde  arms,  title  pages,  etc. 

Tlie  book  is  a  storehouse  of  informalion  respecting  a  class  of  luca  who  were 
hi-'hin  public  esteem  by  their  linancial,  civil  and  social  importance,  and  who 
by"  their  character,  eulerpn^e  and  satisfactory  response  to  the  wants  of  the 
community  established  an  ideal  which,  in  Mr.  Littlelleld's  opinion,  the  book- 
sellers of  to-day  cannot  without  clilliculty  attain. 

Pi-ice  $5  to  members  of  the  Club,  $G  to  others.  There  were  laO  copies  printed, 
and  the  whole  edition  was  sold  in  tea  days.  Copies  have  since  brought  from 
$15  to  $1.'0.

exploit  wiiicli  was  callcil  "the,  llncst  stroke  thus  far  struck  dnriii^  the  war," 
lias  fully  warranted  liliii  in  retelling  the  story;  nor  could  such  task  luive  been 
attempted  by  a  more  competent  peu  than  that  of  the  author  of  the  "  Public 
Papers  and  Correspondence  of  John  Jay,"  "The  ()Hicial  Record  of  Connecticut 
in  the  Revolution,"  and  other  imijortant  contributions  to  Revolutionary  history. 

Fifty-«5ix  documents,  liUing  more  tlian  half  of  the  book,  are  adduced  as 
authorities,  papers  and  letters  stored  for  a  century  or  more  in  the  Public  Rec- 
ord Olllce  of  London,  in  the  collections  of  societies,  or  in  the  hands  of  individ- 
uals. Among  these  there  are  two  new  letters  from  Washington;  four  from  Sir 
Henry  Clinton;  two  from  Lord  Germain,  Minister  of  War  in  London;  one  from 
Eden,  the  British  Peace  Commissioner;  and  more  than  twenty-live  others,  prin- 
cipally from  military  otlicers,  never  before  published.  The  illustrations  and 
maps  are  also  new.  The  work,  therefore,  may  be  considered  as  resting  on  au 
original  basis  and  supplying  unexpected  information  in  regard  to  a  historic 
event  hitherto  insufliciently  studied.

This  volume,  although  the  continuation  of  a  like  record  in  Volume  I.,  is  is- 
sued as  Volume  III.,  because  the  second  volume,  appropriated  to  the  Commis- 
sions and  Instructions  of  the  Royal  Governors  of  the  Province  of  Massachusetts 
Bay,  has  not  yet  been  completed.  The  contents  of  the  present  publication  are 
of  exceeding  interest.  Besides  commemorative  tributes  to  thirteen  members  of 
the  society,  memoirs  of  live  are  contained  in  these  pages.  Deserving  of  mention 
among  tiie  papers  and  conunuuieations  are  the  following :  Frederick  L.  Gay's

Every  page  of  this  periodical  is  instructive  and  entertaining.  The  editor'3 
articles,  appearing  throughout  the  year,  called  "  Days  devoted  to  research 
abroad,"  are  interesting  as  a  record  of  travel  even  to  those  who  are  indiftereut 
to  the  object  of  the  journey,  which  Avas  to  explore  the  records  of  emigration 
from  Europe  to  Pennsylvania  in  1GS2-177C;  and  one  need  not  be  an  inhabitant 
of  that  state  to  sympathetically  peruse  the  memorials  of  such  an  inspiring 
Christian  character,  in  the  true  sense,  as  Henry  Antes.  "  The  Trappe  Seventy- 
live  Years  Ago,"  by  Col.  Thos.  Swenk,  is  a  series  of  reminiscences  written  by 
him  in  his  eighty-eighth  year,  and,  like  all  similar  personal  recollections,  is  of 
special  local  interest. 

The  various  other  topics  treated  are  in  keeping  ■with  the  aim  of  the  publica- 
tion, that  is,  to  preserve  the  historical  and  genealogical  records  of  the  Perkio- 
men Region,  and.  In  fitting  memoirs,  to  honor  those  men  and  women  within  its 
boundaries  who  have  been  of  distinguished  worth.

History  of  the  Scandinavians  and  Successful  Scandinavians  in  the  United  States.  .{^

The  diligence,  accuracy  and  impartiality  regarded  by  the  author  as  the  ideal 
qualillcalions  uf  a  historian  are  everywhere  displayed  in  the  book  which  em- 
bodies the  results  of  his  nearly  ten  years'  devotion  to  Scandinavian-.Americaa 
history.  As  the  lirst  edition  attained  such  a  fluttering  success,  no  pains  have 
been  spareil  to  reuder  the  second  perfectly  accurate  as  regards  the  facts  both  * 

historical  aud  biographical.     As  an  instance  of  the  thoroughness  of  revision,  '   - 

all  of  the  biographies  of  Scandinavians  in  Minnesota  have  been  rewritten,  re- 
arranged and  extended  to  the  present  time.  Much  labor,  indeed,  has  been  ex-  ^^,, 
peuded  upon  the  whole  biographical  department,  some  of  the  sketches  having  ■^^^, 
received  a  flfth  or  sixth  revision,  each  from  a  different  writer.  So  complete  has  •'% 
been  the  reconstruction  of  the  flrst  volume  that  it  is  now  largely  a  new  history  ^£ 
reaching  to  the  end  of  the  nineteenth  century.  V-: 

With  contributions  from  some  of  the  most  prominent  Scandinavians  in  the 
Union,  judicious  editorship,  articles  of  such  general  interest  as  "  The  Nationality 
of  Criminal  ami  Insane  Persons  in  the  Unitetl  States,"  numerous  portraits,  and 
good  paper  aud  binding,  the  present  edition  ought  to  win  the  success  that 
greeted  the  tirst.

For  more  than  a  quarter  of  a  century  the  institution  now  called  the  Norwich 
University  was  known  as  the  American  Literary,   Scientific  aud  Military  Aca-  ■    - 

demy.  Such  alumni  as  Horatio  Seymour,  Admiral  George  Dewey,  Paulding, 
Boggs  and  .lackman  attract  attention  to  their  (dnia  mater  and  evince  the  rank  of 
its  roll  of  iiouor  as  among  the  llrst.  Uriginally  estal)lished  in  1819  at  Norwich,

former  location,  whfin  it  received  by  grant  of  legislature  all  tbe  powers  and 
immunities  of  colleges  and  universities.  Its  liistory,  as  ■would  be  expected,  has 
been  strongly  marked  by  the  Civil  War  which,  indeed,  so  injuriously  depleted  the 
ranks  of  its  sons,  that  total  disruption  Avas  threatened.  Tlie  annals  of  such  an 
institution  may,  therefore,  very  proi'erly  be  called  heroic,  and  will  be  found 
faithfully  recorded  in  the  historical  section  of  tlie  book  and  in  tlie  chapter  of 
more  than  two  hundred  and  llfty  pages  devoted  to  sketches  of  the  Presidents, 
Professors,  graduates  and  past  cadets.  Miscellanies,  tlie  roster  and  index 
complete  the  volume.  Its  typography  is  excellent,  and  the  illustrations  many

It  will  be  conceded  that  the  Board  of  Editors  of  this  (jlio  have  attained  their 
proposed  object  in  ])roducing  a  book  which  adequately  represents  not  only  the 
class  of  1901,  but  also  the  college  in  all  its  tiepartments.  The  tlrst  part  records 
the  college  events  of  the  year.  The  literary  section  is  highly  elaborated  and 
abounds,  of  course,  in  the  student-humor  of  which,  hoAvever  broad,  everyone  is 
disposed  to  approve.  A  parody  on  the  Twenty-third  Psalm,  however,  must  be 
regarded  as  ill-considered  and  rei)ugiiant  to  tlie  taste  of  all  who  can  in  any  degree 
ai)|)n'ciate  the  original, — as  unexpected,  indeed,  as  a  travesty  of  the  Lord's 
Prayer. 

Tlie  humorous  illustrations  are  immensely  relishable,  and  the  external  aspect 
of  the  book  in  every  respect  beautiful,  constituting  it,  with  its  substantial  con- 
tents, a  treasure  to  all  who  possess  it.

The  present  pnblicfttiou  of  the  Holland  Society  of  New  York,  like  its  two  for- 
mer collections  of  Dutch  church  records,  will  afford  valuable  aid  to  those  en-

more  ships  than  all  Europe  beside,  and  founded  America's  cosmopolitan  city.

The  annual  product  of  the  indefatigable  zeal  of  Mr.  Arnold  we  welcome  with 
the  same  regularity  and  gratitade  as  we  do  the  yearly  liarvest  of  the  tleld.     In 
this  volume  we  have,  besides  the  records  of  Christ  Church,  Grace  Church,  First 
Baptist  Church,  and  First  Christian  Church,   Westerly,  those  of  thirteen  other 
churches,  all  arranged  in  that  unambiguous  manner  which  is  the  special  object 
of  the  compiler.     The  patronage  of  the  General  Assembly  is  still  awarded  to 
this  meritorious  undertaking,  and  its  steady  i)rosecution  shows  that  it  holds  the 
interest  of  all  its  old  friends  and  attracts  that  of  new.     One  may  conlideutly 
foretell  tiie  fullilment  of  theautlior's  "admonition,"  viz.,  that  the  public  may  be

This  history  is  an  exact  copy  of  a  manuscript  long  supposed  to  be  lost,  but 
discovered  after  an  interval  of  nearly  three  (piarters  of  a  century.  It  is  a  col- 
lection of  memoranda  designed  as  contril)utious  to  a  contemplated  story  of  the 
town  in  whlcli  Dr.  Abbott  passed  the  last  lifteen  years  of  his  life. 

Although  containing  no  fresh  information,  it  corroborates  many  uncertain 
accotmts,  and  is  regarded  by  one  perfectly  iinalilled  to  judge,  the  writer  of  the 
introduction,  as  valualjle  and  imi)ortant.  F.  AV".  P.

The  three  |)aii\plilets  before  us  are  all  by  Mr.   AndrcAV  McFarland  l^avis, 
■whose  Avorks  liave  been  fre(]uently  noticed   in  the  Bkci.stek   for  the  last  ten 
years,  all  illustruting  some  pliase  in  New  England  history,  and  many  of  them 
relating  to  our  currency.     They  treat  of  their  sul)jects  exhaustively. 

The  pami>ldets  now  under  review  are  of  siiecial  interest  as  siiowing  the 
preponderant  share  of  the  currency  in  provoi\ing  that  irritation  l)etween  the 
Legislature  and  Executive  in  the  Colonial  period  which  gradually  sup^'rinduced 
oiicli  an  alienation  of  sentiment,  long  before  liostilities,  as  to  be  desigmited  by 
Jolm  Adams  as '•  the  real  American  lievoliitiou."  The  opening,  and  even  the 
middle,  of  t!ie  eighteenth  century  found  the  Colonists  devotedly  loyal;  at  its 
close  they  were  an  independent  nation. 

The  causes  of  tlic  steadily  increasing  consciousness  of  a  separation  of  inter- 
ests between  the  iJritish  Government  and  the  Americans,  of  which  the  Stamp 
Act  was  oidy  one  of  many  tokens,  are  lucidly  explained  in  the  first  of  tlie  above- 
named  articles. 

The  second  is  a  copy  of  a  document  lately  obtained  by  the  Boston  Public 
Library,  prefaced  by  remarks  on  the  views  of  the  author  of  the  document  ou 
the  authority  of  Parliament  in  enacting  laws  for  the  Colonies.  Its  connection 
Avith  tlie  currency  is  obvious,  as  it  was  written  at  the  time  when  attempts  were 
made  to  procure  the  legislation  of  the  Home  Goveriunent  in  relation  to  Colonial 
Currency  emission,  about  the  year  1741. 

In  the  thirtl  pamphlet  the  solution  of  the  riddle  involved  in  Sewall's  hexam- 
eters, rendering  into  Latin  the  directions  for  atlixiug  differently  colored  signa- 
tures to  certain  Bills  of  Pul)lic  Credit,  is  accompanied  by  a  notice  of  Sewall's 
services  on  tlie  Currency  Committee,  and  of  those  facts  relating  to  the  case 
Avhicli  assisted  in  interiireting  the  enigmatic  lines.

Although  this  volume  may  be  amenable  to  a  criticism  similar  to  that  encoun- 
tered by  its  [iredecessor,  viz.,  that  it  is  not  a  continuous  history  of  Montana; 
yet  its  readers  will  surely  pronounce  it  to  be  liistory  in  its  most  interesting,  not 
to  say  exciting  aspects,  conveyed  in  the  form  of  centennial  addresses,  biogra- 
phical sketclies,  tliaries,  military  records  and  itineraries.  The  reminiscences 
are,  for  tlie  most  part,  collected  under  the  authority  of  an  Act  of  the  Legisla- 
tive Assembly,  and  relate  large-ly  to  mountain  life  before  1SG3. 

As  tJH^  announced  oliject  of  the  Society  is  to  gatlier  materials  for  the  future 
historian,  the  contents  of  this  volume  nudie  well-nigh  certain  tlie  ivalizaLion  of 
the  hope  that  he  will  llnd  in  the  Society's  publications  records  of  every  historic 
event,  and  rellections  of  all  the  characteristic  phases  of  the  popular  life.

llshcd  by  llio  California  Genealogical  Society.     8vo.  pp.  32. 
Tlic  California  CienonloKlcal  Society,  or^'anizetl  in  Fol)rnary,  1898,  has  now  a 
menibership  of  isixty-three.     With  the  nuniljer  before  us  begins  the  publication 
of  its  magazine. 

California  has  gathered  her  population  from  so  many  dillercnt  localities  that 
a  geuealouical  magazine  tliere  has  a  Avide  held  of  research  open  to  it.  In  choos- 
ing its  subject  matter  it  is  possible  for  it  to  take  either  of  two  courses;  to  seek 
its  material  where  it  is  easiest  to  obtain,  in  fields  already  worked  by  others,  or 
to  dig  out  treasures  from  untouched  llelds.  For  tlie  sake  of  its  permanent 
value\ve  trust  that  the  latter  will  be  the  course  pursued  by  the  California  Heg- 

Tlie  llrst  number  contains  articles  on  the  Holmes  family  of  Rhode  Island  and 
New  Jersey,  tlie  Hughes  family,  the  Fearl  family,  Tiiomas  Tope  of  I'lymouth 
and  his  descendants,  and  the  Feet  family.  It  is  well  arranged,  in  clear  type,  on 
good  paper.

Extracts  from  John  Marshall's  Diary.    January,  1689— December,  1711.    "With 

an  introduction  by  S.vmukl  A.  GiiiiEN.     8vo,  pp.  24. 

John  Marshall,  sou  of  John  and  Ruth  Marshall  of  Boston,  was  born  October, 
16C-t.  After  his  marriaae  in  1090,  to  Mrs.  Mary  Mills,  he  lived  in  Braintree. 
His  diary,  begun  a  little  before  his  marriage,  dates  from  2-1  January,  1G88-9,  to 
30  December",  1711,  although  he  lived  much  longer,  until  25  October,  1732.  The 
diary  was  used  by  Thomas  Frince  in  compiling  his  Chronological  History  of 
Neui  England,  and  was  presented  to  the  Massachusetts  Historical  Society  in 
1792,  by  James  Winthrop.  Subsequently  it  disappeared,  but  was  again  pre- 
sented to  the  Society  by  Rev.  Dr.  TluuUleus  M.  Harris. 

The  extracts  given  in  this  pamphlet  are  mostly  those  which  have  never  been 
printed.  They  are  grouped  under  the  heads  of  Deaths,  Indians,  and  Miscella- 
neous. While  of  particular  value  to  those  interested  in  Braintree,  they  give 
many  facts  of  more  general  interest.

"\Vc  continue  in  this  number  our  quarterly  notices  of  genealogical  works  re- 
cently publislied. 

Tlie  death  of  Dr.  John  F.  Boynton  in  1890  left  to  his  wife  the  completion  of 
the  genealogical  "work  he  had  undertaken.  This  has  now  appeared,  and  gives, 
besides  tlie  descendants  of  tlie  ininiigrants  mentioned  in  the  title,  the  posterity 
of  Caleb  Boynton  of  Wiscassct,  Me.,  and  also  appropriates  twenty-seven  pages 
to  families  of  the  name  whose  connection  with  John  and  William  of  ]{owley 
has  not  been  discovered,  followed  by  the  Connecticut  branch  of  Boyiiigtons 
and  liyingtons,  and  the  Boyntons  of  America,  not  of  the  pedigree  of  John  and 
William,  who  came  to  this  country  in  l(i;38.  In  tlie  introductory  matter  is  in- 
chuled  a  biographical  sketch  of  Dr.  Boynton,  with  tributes  to  his  memory  in 
])rose  and  vcasc.  1'iie  work  is  the  i-esnlt  of  extensive  researcli,  showing  the 
fniils  of  tlu!  thousands  of  miles  travelled  and  the  thousands  of  dollars  spent 
by  Dr.  Boynton  during  tin;  latter  years  of  Ids  life,  as  also  of  tlie  able  KU|)ple- 
nicntary  cllbrts  of  his  wife.  It  is  "well  printed  and  illustrated,  and  provided 
"With  an  aniplf  index. 

Designed  chieily  for  the  gratification  of  the  family,  embracing  as  it  docs 
biographical  niul  private  miniitia',  the  Dorland  genealogy  is  of  tlie  nature  of 
doniesUc  documents,  ami  it  is  as  such  that  its  author  desires  it  to  be  regarded. 
He  has  endeavored  to  include  all  traceable  branches  of  Hie  name,  althougli  little 
attention  has  been  bestowed  upon  traditions,  however  interesting  they  may  be. 
The  contents  comprise  a  general  review  of  the  family,  followed  by  twenty-three 
names  of  Dorlands  of  whom  the  posterity  is  recorded  in  the  majority  of  cases, 
while  the  cliihiren  of  all  are  given;  to  these  succeeds  a  secti(m  of  military  ser- 
vices, Avhilc  the  conchuling  iiortion  of  the  work  is  the  "  Authorities  Consulted," 
there  biiiig  no  iiulex.  A\i  arrangement  of  the  genealogical  tables  iliHereiit  from 
that  no"\v  in  general  use  shows  immediately  the  numbers  of  euch  family  without 
interrupting  the  continuity  of  the  pedigree.  Furthermore,  the  descendants  of 
the  emigrants  are  traced  with  ecjual  thoroughness  in  the  fennvle  and  male  lines, 
wherever  possible.  The  letter-press  and  binding  are  extremely  Hue,  exhibiting 
a  rare  perfection  of  the  book-maker's  art  in  the  heavy  paper,  very  wide  margins, 
exquisitely  clear  print,  beautifully  copied  autograiihs,  artistically  drawn  maps, 
and  covers  of  scarlet  and  white,  attractions  greatly  enhancing  the  value  of  Mr. 
Cremer's  otfering  to  the  Dorland  family. 

An  attempt  to  trace  tlu;  ancrstry  of  the  Goodwins  of  Brookville,  Indiana, 
resulted  ill  the  collection  of  data  which  was  published  as  a  supplement  to  the 
issue  of  the  William  and  IMary  tiuarterly,  Oct.,  1897,  to  which  collection  "  The 
Goodwin  Families  in  America"  is  intended  as  an  addition  with  conucotious.

370  Book  ITotices.  [July, 

All  of  the  families  noticed  are,  with  one  exception,  outside  of  New  England. 
Nearly'  forty  branches  of  the  Goodwins  are  recorded,  while  the  object  iii  view 
as  iticeiitive  to  the  collection  of  so  much  family  history  has  not,  nevertheless, 
been  attained.     A  good  index  is  added  to  the  work. 

The  editor  of  tlie  Bates  Genealogy  states  tliat  the  Avork  is  a  completion  by 
him  of  the  labors  of  the  genealogist  and  lustorian,  the  late  Samuel  A.  Bates. 
Following  the  biography  of  Elder  Edward  Bates,  the  genealogy  and  the  Kevo- 
lutiouary  Record,  is  a  sketch  of  the  author.  The  recortl  is  brought  down  to 
the  ninth  generation,  and  forms,  togetlier  witli  tlie  otiier  matter,  a" volume  use- 
ful by  its  contents  whicli  are  rendered  accessible  in  an  index,  while  it  is  attrac-

The  reviser  of  the  AUertou  Eamily  says,  in  allusion  to  Walter  S.  Aller- 
ton's  publication  of  1888,  tiiat  this  edition  is  issued  with  his  consent  and  co- 
operation, and  is,  in  the  later  generations,  almost  an  exact  reprint  of  the  former 
work.  With  reference  to  tlie  appendix,  which  is  devoted  mainly  to  the  early 
geiieratiuns,  Mr.  Currier  allirnis  that,  alLhougli  certain  facts  alleged  respecting 
those  generations  have  been  doubted,  yet  a  close  scrutiny  of  them  has  proved 
their  reality. 

The  Elmer  Genealogy  consists  in  large  measure  of  records  collected  by  Hon. 
Samuel  E.  Elmore,  of  Hartford,  sevend  years  ago,  and  never  before  published. 
Its  form  is  that  of  the  Johnson  Genealogy  printed  l)y  the  compiler  of  this  work  in 
181)2.  Clear  print  and  lucid  arrangement,  together  with  a  thorougli  index,  indi- 
cate the  hand  of  one  accustomed  to  preparing  genealogical  data  for  the  public 
eye. 

])escendauts  in  the  nintii  generation  are  found  in  the  Cumings  record,  which 
is  an  arrangement  of  materials  collected  by  four  imiividuals.  With  excellent 
letter-press  and  binding  in  addition  to  its  valuable  contents,  it  is  a  book  that 
can  be  reconnneuded  to  the  posterity  in  America  of  tiie  "  Red  Cummin." 

The  Sturges  Genealogy  is  called  by  itsautlior  a  revision  of  a  pamphlet  entitled 
"A  Few  Stray  Leaves  from  Sturges  Genealogy,"  the  pal)licatJon  of  which  at- 
tracted the  notice  of  persons  who  as  corresi)ondents  supplied  the  missing  infor- 
mation which  is  embodied  in  the  present  work.  It  covers  a  period  of  three 
hundred  and  seventy  years,  furnishing  the  Sturges  lineage  from  the  first  family 
of  the  name  on  record  in  England  to  its  representatives  iu  Maine  in  I'JOO.  It  is 
to  be  hoped  that  the  furtiier  Sturges  material  to  which  the  author  alludes  as 
being  too  extensive  for  inclusion  in  this  volume  may  be  given  to  the  world  in  a 
revision  to  come.     The  print  and  binding  are  both  superior. 

Tile  full  title  of  the  AVade  Genealogy  is  "  Some  account  of  the  origin  of  the 
name,  and  of  the  lost  folk-lore  of  the  famous  hero,  Wada,  particulars  and 
pedigree  of  famous  Englisliraen  of  the  name,  and  Genealogies  of  the  families  of 
Wade  iu  Massachusetts  and  New  Jersey,  to  Avhich  are  added  many  miscellaneous 
pedigrees,  also  a  roll  of  honor  of  tiie  Wades  who  went  to  War."  Tliis  pam- 
phlet is  part  llrst  of  the  History  and  Genealogy  of  the  AVade  Family,  comprising 
nearly  a  tlio\isand  pages,  to  be  issueil  in  ten  parts,  consisting  of  six  chapters. 
'J'his  part  contains  ciiapter  llrst,  "The  Origin  and  Etymology  of  the  Name 
Wade  and  herein  of  Duke  Wada,"  and  a  portion  of  the  second  chapter,  "  The 
Antiquity  of  the  Wade  Family— English  Pedigrees  and  Famous  Wades."  The 
eminent  historic  names  in  this  family  justly  claim  for  it  a  record  such  as, 
judging  from  tliis  portion  of  it,  the  {iresent  unilertaking  promises  to  be.  It 
evinces  great  labor  and  expense  bestoweil  upon  tlie  text,  illustrations  and  typog- 
rapliy.  Botli  to  those  of  the  name  and  the  pulilic  iu  general  it  should  make 
apiH'al  by  its  genealogieal  and  historical  impoitanee.

of  New  Loiulon,  Conn.,  IIJ'JO,  and  a  Savory  peiligree  extracted  from  Judge  A-

as  also  a  Harriman  genealcjgy  from  Jos.  Eullonton's  "History  of  Raymond,

The  object  of  tho  BcmuH  sketch  Is  to  summarize  the  existing  knowledge  re- 
specting the  family  which  occupied  the  groiiiul  on  wliicli  were  erected  the 
ckifencea  ii^ainst  Biirgoync  in  1777.  Tiie  ori;;in  of  the  family,  its  participation 
in  tlie  battles  fought  in  the  vicinity  of  Bemus's  llcigiits,  antl  tlie  descendants  of 
Jotliam  Bemus,  owner  of  tlie  Heights,  constitute  tlie  contents  of  tlie  pampiilet. 

Mr.  Hunnewell's  beautifully  printed  "Six  Generations  of  Massachusetts  llun- 
newells,"  after  recording  information  gathered  respecting  the  llunnewells  of 
England,  proceeds  to  the  Charlestown  family — that  of  the  auLlior — and  its 
ilerivaLives,  to  Roger  IInlUle^\  ell,  of  Wt'sl  Saco,  Me.,  and  (h'scendaiits,  and  llinilly 
to  the  llnnuewells  of  Boston.  Highly  to  be  commendeil  is  the  tiecision  of  tho 
compiler  to  put  into  permanent  form  what  he  terms  "an  al)slract"  of  the  col- 
U'Ctiim  resulting  from  the  expenditure  ot  much  time,  labor  ami  money. 

The  sheets  containing  the  Bradford  family  also  comprise  families  bearing  tho 
names  Mason,  Fitch,  Janes,  Munro,  Clark,  Burton  au(.l  llouper. 

Exterit)rly  a  choicest  exami)le  of  book-making,  the  Wright  publication  con- 
sists as  to  its  contents  of  that  portion  of  Mr.  Henry  Whittemore's  history  of 
Nicholas  Wright  which  relates  to  the  Wright  family,  and  is  issued  in  this  form 
for  the  accommodation  of  those  who  would  not  care  to  purchase  the  work, 
"  Heroes  of  the  Hevolution  and  their  Descendants,"  for  which  the  biography  of 
Nicholas  Wright  was  prepared.  Additional  facts,  both  liistorical  and  genea- 
logical, are  here  recorded,  valuable  alike  to  the  public  and  to  the  family. 

The  Parsons-Hoar  book  gives,  in  its  Parsons  division,  the  lOnglish  and  Ameri- 
can families  of  I'arsons,  Recollections  of  Lewis  B.  I'arsous  by  several  individ- 
uals, notices  of  Bhilo,  Levi,  Col.  Charles,  Lewis  Green,  Joseph  and  IJauiel  Par- 
sons. The  Hoar  portion  consists  of  extracts  from  a  publication  of  Hon.  George 
Frisbie  Hoar.  To  tliese  are  added  an  article  on  "  Rail  and  River  Army  Trans- 
portation in  the  Civil  War,"  by  Gen.  Lewis  B.  Parsons.  This  collection  of 
genealogical  and  biographical  information  otl'ered  to  his  family  by  an  octogena- 
rian, altliough  designed  solely  for  private  circulation,  is  nevertheless  not  devoid 
of  general  interest. 

The  Cox  Genealogy  continues  in  its  present  issue  the  record  of  the  early  New 
England  families  of  tliat  name. 

The  Allcott  Family  presents  the  posterity  of  Asa  Allcott,  of  Waterbury,  Ct., 
a  Revolutionary  soldier,  as  also  his  ancestry  traced  to  Thomas  Alcock  who 
came  in  Winthrop's  company,  IGoO.  The  materials,  though  collected  merely  to 
gratify  the  compiler's  private  desire,  are  well  worthy  of  preservation  iu  the 
form  which  he  has  given  them.

The  above  titles  are  those  of  the  two  parts  of  this  volume.  The  first  part,  of 
twenty  pages,  is  a  reprint  of  the  article  written  for  the  Register  Ufty  years 
ago,  in  ISPJ,  by  my  friend,  the  late  William  Reed  Deane,  and  myself.  It  was 
printed  in  the  October,  18-(I>,  number  of  this  periodical.  The  article  was  pre- 
pared at  the  suggestion  of  Charles  Deane,  LIv.D.,  who  knew  that  W.  R.  Deane 
had  a  large  collection  of  material  relating  to  the  Deane  family  and  advised  him 
to  prepare  a  paper  for  the  N.  E.  Historical  and  Genealogical  Register  on  that 
family.  When  W.  R.  Deane  informed  me  of  the  suggestion,  I  urged  him  to  do 
it.  lie  said  he  would  do  so  as  soon  as  he  could  llud  time.  As  Mr.  Deane, 
after  a  month  or  two,  was  still  too  busy  to  undertake  the  task,  I  told  him  tliat  I 
would  write  the  article  if  he  would  lend  me  his  papers.  After  I  liad  got  about 
eight  printed  pages  written,  Mr.  Deane  had  some  leisure  and  he  and  I  com- 
pleted the  article. 

The  rest  of  thcTolume,  which  is  called  a  Supplement  to  this  work,  was  written 
by  Mr.  Messer  Cannon  Dean  of  Chicago  and  his  associates.  It  contains  "De- 
scendants of  George  Dean,  third  generation  from  Walter  Deane  and  the  twelfth 
child  of  Dr.  Ezra  Dean,  with  some  other  branches  of  the  family."      It  has  a

DEATHS. 


Judge  Franklin  George  Adams,  Secre- 
tary of  the  Historical  Society  of  Kan- 
sas, died  in  Topcka,  Dec.  2,  1899.  He 
was  born  in  Jelforson  County,  N.  Y.,  in 
1834,  and  went  to  Kansas  when  twenty- 
one  years  of  age.  Six  years  after  his 
arrival  in  the  State  he  was  appointed 
register  of  the  land  office  by  President 
Lincoln.  Besides  having  edited  three 
newspapers,  Judge  Franklin  was  Sec- 
retary of  the  State  Agricultural  Society, 
of  wliich  he  was  the  originator,  Clerk 
of  the  U.  S.  District  Court  of  Kansas, 
member  of  the  Leavenworth  Constitu- 
tional Convention,  and  tirst  chairman 
of  the  Atchison  County  Free  State 
Party.  It  was  in  his  office  that  the 
first  religious  meetings  in  Atchison 
were  held,  and  he  was  the  donor  of  the 
land  on  which  the  first  church  in  that 
place  was  erected.  C'hosen  Secretary 
of  the  State  Historical  Society  in  1876, 
he  imparted  to  its  growth  a  remarkable 
impetus,  and  was,  indeed,  the  individ- 
ual to  whom  the  Society  from  its  or- 
ganization was  chierty  indebted  for  its 
signal  prosperity.  His  interest  in  his- 
torical research  was  general,  and  seve- 
ral valuable  gifts  were  received  from 
him  by  the  New-England  Historic 
Genealogical  Society.  F.  W.  P. 


Mrs.  Sarah  Cavendish  Paxton,  widow 
of  the  late  Ca])tain  Joseph  11.  Paxton, 
of  the  United  States  Army,  and  mother 
of  Captain  Alexis  K.  Paxton,  of  the 
United  States  Army,  now  on  duty  with 
tlie  National  Guard  of  Pennsylvania, 
and  stationed  in  this  city,  died  sudden- 
ly of  heart  failure  about  3  o'clock  yes- 


terday afternoon  at  the  residence  of  her 
son,  on  North  Front  street.     Mrs.  Pax- 
ton was  about  sixty-five  years  of  age- 
and   had   been    an   invalid    for    many 
years.     For  the  last  three  months  she 
had  been  confined  to  her  bed.     She  was 
the  youngest  daughter  of  Captain  Job 
Whipple,  of  a  noted  race   of  seamen, 
who    dwelt   for  many    generations    at 
Salem,  Ipswich  and  Danvers,  in  Mas- 
sachusetts.    Captain    Whipple   was    a 
noted  patriot  and  sea  captain  in  his  day 
and  took  part  in  our  war  with  England 
in  18 12.    Afterwards  he  settled  in  Phil- 
adelphia and   married  Mary  Paton,  of 
that  city.     He  took  an  active  part  in 
the  politics  of  his  time  and  was  a  strong 
Whig  and  friend  of  Henry  Clay.     Mrs. 
Paxton  inherited  many  of  his  decided 
and  ardent  qualities  of  mind  and  heart. 
She  was  a  devoted  mother  and  wife,  a 
loyal  friend,    and  with  a  most  gentle 
heart  for  those  in  affliction.     She  had 
read  and  thought  deeply    and    widely 
and  possessed  wit  and  humor  of  a  high 
order.     Her  conversation  was  unusual- 
ly delightful  to  listen  to,  and  she  had  a 
wonderful  magnetic  quality  which  drew 
to  her  and  held  her  friends.     Mrs.  Pax- 
ton   had   strong   religious    convictions 
and  was  a  firm  believer  in  Jesus  Christ 
as    her    Saviour.     Although    she   had 
been  very  ill  and  confined  to  bed  for 
many  months,   that  death  would  take 
her  so  suddenly  from  those  who  ten- 
derly loved  her  was  unexpected  and  a 
great  shock  to  them.     A  brother  and 
sister  and  many  warm  friends  reside  in 
Philadelphia,  where  she  will  be  buried 
with  her  children  next  Monday  after- 
noon.— llarrisburg  (Pa.)  Telegraph.

;  EDWARD  STRONG  MOSELEY.     [i 

By  William  C.  Todd,  A.B. 

Edward  Strong  INIoseley  died  in  Newburjport,  April  25, 
1900,  where  he  was  born,  June  22,  1813.  Eor  more  than  lialf  a 
century  he  had  been  one  of  the  most  prominent  citizens  of  his  native 
city. 

He  had  an  honored  ancestry,  which  deserves  more  than  a  pass- 
ing mention.  Tlie  name  ]\Ioseley,  variously  spelt,  seems  to  liave 
•been  one  of  great  antiquity  in  England,  dating  back  to  the  Domes- 
day Book,  in  1080,  and  to  have  been  borne  by  many  of  liigh  rank 
and  distinguished  service.  Several  of  the  name  migrated  to  America 
at  an  early  date,  and  among  them  John,  the  ilrst  American  ancestor 
of  Edward  Strong  JMoseley.  He  came,  probal)ly,  from  Lancashire, 
and  settled  in  Dorchester  as  early  as  l()oO,  where  he  died,  Aug.  20, 
IGOl,  and  was  buried  in  the  old  cemetery  near  Uj)ham'8  Corner. 
But  i'cw  details  can  be  known  of  the  lives  of  most  of  the  early  set- 
tlers. They  were  making  homes  in  the  wilderness  for  themselves 
and  their  families,  were  contcntling  with  the  Indians,  and  the  early 
records  are  imperfect.  The  family  line  in  direct  descent  is  as  fol- 
lows :  Edward  Strong,'  Ebenezer,®  Ebenezer,'^  Sanuiel,^  Ebenezer,^ 
Thomas,*  John.'  It  is  to  be  noticeil  that,  with  the  exception  of 
the  latest,  all  the  names  added  to  the  j)atronymic  are  single  and 
taken  from  the  Bible,  as  was  the  custom  of  our  ancestors. 

Thomas, "^  the  oldest  of  John's  three  children,  died,  Oct.  22,  1706, 
and  was  buried  in  the  Dorchester  cemetery.  Ebenezer,^  the  sixth 
of  nine  children,  was  born  in  Dorchester,  Sept.  4,  1G73,  and  died 
there,  Sept.  19,  1740.  He  was  active  in  town  aifairs,  and  Avas 
one  of  the  first  in  the  country  to  manufacture  iron  from  the  ore. 

Samuel,*  the  second  of  four  children,  was  born,  August  15,  1708, 
and  was  graduated  from  Harvard  in  1729.  He  became  a  teacher, 
then  studied  for  the  ministry,  and  was  ordained,  j\lay  15,  1734, 
pastor  of  the  Second  Church  in  Windham,  Ct.,  in  the  part  set  otF 
in  178G  as  the  town  of  Hampton.  He  was  seized  with  paralysis 
while  on  a  visit  to  CJoveruor  riiillips,  in  Boston,  and  died,  July  26,

378  Edward  Strong  Moseley.  [Oct. 

1791,  after  a  miniatiy  of  over  fifty-seven  years.  lie  had  a  high 
reputation  aa  un  able  divine,  and  an  accomplished  gentleman  and 
scholar.  He  had  marked  traits  of  character,  and  exercised  great 
inlhieuce  in  the  whole  region  around  him.  The  inscription  on  hia 
monument  saya  of  him  : 

"  A  tender  companion,  an  affectionate  parent,  given  to  hospitality, 
apt  to  teach,  respected  by  hia  brethren  in  the  ministry — hia  praise 
was  in  the  churches." 

lie  was  twice  married  to  members  of  prominent  families,  and  was 
the  father  of  twelve  children. 

Ebenezer,^  the  second  son  of  Samuel,*  was  bom,  Feb.  19,  1741, 
and  was  graduated  from  Yale  in  17G3.  To  indicate  hia  high  family 
standing,  according  to  the  custom  before  the  llevohition,  his  name 
is  plaecd  third  in  the  catalogue.  He  studied  for  the  ministry,  and 
was  licensed  to  preach  June  19,  17G5.  In  17G7,  he  became  a 
missionary  among  the  Indians,  by  an  appointment  from  a  London 
Society,  and  gained  great  influence  over  them.  He  married,  Sept. 
14,  1773,  Martha  Strong,  a  lady  of  great  culture  and  high  social 
position,  and  a  sister  of  Caleb  Strong,  one  of  the  first  senators  from 
Massachusetts,  and  for  eleven  years  governor  of  the  state.  He  took 
an  early  part  in  the  struggle  for  lndej)endence,  and  did  much  to 
arouse  the  patriotic  spirit  of  AVindham  County,  in  connection  with 
Gen.  Israel  Putnam  and  Governor  Trumbull,  residents  of  the  same 
county.  Though  a  clergyman,  he  entered  the  army,  was  made 
captain  of  a  company,  and  was  at  the  battle  of  Bunker  Hill.  He 
was  subsequently  commissioned  as  colonel  of  the  5th  liegiment,  was 
active  in  military  service,  was  repeatedly  elected  to  the  legislature, 
and  thnmgh  life  was  an  influential  citizen  in  many  positions.  He 
died,  March  20,  1825,  and  was  buried  in  the  family  lot  in  Hampton, 
Conn.  His  wife,  ]\Iartha  Strong,  died,  Aug.  12,  1827,  leaving  a 
memory  very  dear  to  her  descendants. 

Ebonezcr,'^  the  third  of  four  children,  was  born,  Nov.  21,  1781, 
and  was  graduated  from  Yale  in  1802.  He  had  a  high  rank  in 
college,  as  >vas  indicated  by  his  membership  in  the  Phi  Peta  Kappa 
Society.  Adopting  the  law  as  a  profession,  he  settled  in  New- 
burj'port  hi  1805,  and  soon  gained  a  large  and  lucrative  practice. 

His  reputation  became  so  high  that  many  students  came  to  his 
office,  among  whom  were  Caleb  Gushing,  Governor  Dunlap  and 
John  Pierpont.  He  was  repeatedly  elected  to  both  branches  of  the 
]\Ias8aehu.',etts  legislature,  and  was  a  presidential  elector  in  1832, 
voting  lor  Henry  Clay.  In  1813-14  he  was  colonel  of  the  sixth 
Pegimcnt.  He  waa  president  of  tlie  Essex  County  Agricultural 
Society.  He  occupied  many  positions  of  trust,  w\as  interested  in  the 
difi'crent  benevolent  societies,  and  in  all  that  tended  to  the  improve- 
ment of  the  town,  especially  in  the  cause  of  education.  He  was 
one  of  the  incorporators  of  the  Institution  for  Savings,  in  1820, 
which  haa  been  so  successfulj  and  of  the  Mutual  Insurance  Com-

1821,  and  |)resided  at  tbe  two  hiiii(h"edtb  anniversary  of  the  settle- 
ment of  Newl)ury.  He  was  independent  in  liis  convictions  and 
actions,  and  as  an  honest  lawyer  disconraged  litigation.  lie  died 
Aug.  '2d>,  1854. 

lie  married,  June  17,  1810,  jMary  Ann  Oxnard  of  Portland, 
from  a  family  distinguished  for  its  ancestry  and  high  connections. 
She  was  a  descendant  of  Fox,  the  author  of  Fox's  Hook  of  Martyrs. 
She  was  born,  Jan.  31,  1787,  and  died,  March  l),  1810.  She  was 
a  lady  of  great  culture,  and  her  memory  was  much  revered.  Iler 
fiither,  Edward  Oxnard,  Harvard  17(J7,*  sympathized  with  the 
INIother  Country  during  the  devolution,  was  proscribed  by  the 
INIassacliusetts  legislature,  and  his  property  confiscated.  lie  went 
to  London,  Avhere  he  was  received  with  nmch  distinction  from  the 
respectability  of  his  family  and  his  loyalty  to  his  convictions. 
While  there  he  kept  a  careful  diary.  He  returned  to  the  United 
States  in  1785,  at  the  close  of  the  war,  and  died  in  Portland  in 
1802. 

iVt  his  gi'aduation  he  gave  a  grand  ball,  in  connection  with  his 
classmate  Bernard,  a  son  of  the  royal  governor,  the  copper-plate 
for  the  invitations  to  which  is  still  preserved  in  the  famiy.  His  in- 
timacy with  distinguished  royalists  and  hijp  devotion  to  his  Church 
made  him  imwilling  to  break  the  allegiance  of  America  to  England, 
as  they  did  many  others. 

Edward  Strong,^  the  oldest  of  the  sLx  children  of  Ebenezer,® 
was  prepared  for  college  at  Dummcr  Academy  and  Andover,  and 
entered  Yale  in  182'J.  He  remained  there  till  the  last  term  of  the 
junior  year,  when  he  resigned  with  high  testimonials  from  Presi- 
dent Day  and  the  Faculty. 

He  soon  after  entered  the  counting-room  of  j\lr.  Benj.  A.  Gould, 
a  leading  merchant  of  Boston  in  the  ICast  India  trade,  a  ripe  scholar, 
a  brother  of  the  poet  Hannah  F.  Gould,  and  fatlier  of  the  late  dis- 
tinguished astronomer  Benj.  A.  Gould.  A  strong  friendship  was 
formed  between  the  two  gentlemen,  broken  only  by  death. 

jNIr.  IMoseley  made  three  voyages  as  su[)ercargo  between  1834 
and  1837,  two  to  India  and  one  to  China,  each  requiring  about  a 
year,  always  keei)ing  a  diary.  Wherever  he  ^vcnt  he  was  a  close 
observer,  neglecting  no  opportunity  to  increase  his  knowledge  of 
every  kind,  which  contributed  largely  to  iiis  subse(|uent  success. 

He  often  entertained  his  Iriends  by  a  narration  of  his  experiences 
in  the  Orient,  some  of  them  attended  with  danger,  and  of  special 
interest  now  when  business  with  Eastern  countries  has  been  so 
much  changed.

380  Edward  Strong  ]\[osdey.  [Oct. 

Feb.  5,  1830,  INIr.  INIoscley  married  Charlotte  Augusta  Chap- 
man, (lauglitcr  of  l\ev,  J)r.  George  T.  Chapman,  an  Episcopal 
c'lci-gynian,  then  settled  at  Newark,  N.  J.,  a  lady  of  rare  personal 
luaiity  and  lovely  eharac-tcr,  an  event  wliich  he  always  regarded  as 
the  most  fortunate  of  his  life.  Dr.  Chapman  was  a  Dartmouth 
graduate,  and  prepared  a  most  valuable  history  of  all  the  Dart- 
moutii  alumni  down  to  18G1. 

lie  continued  business  relations  with  Mr.  Gould  in  shipping  and 
East  India  merchandise  until  the  decease  of  the  latter,  but  always 
retained  his  residence  in  Newburyport.  lie  became  one  of  the  most 
extensive  ship  owners  of  the  city,  until  the  decline  of  wooden  ships, 
and  was  part  o\vner  of  a  large  portion  of  the  ninety-nine  vessels 
built  by  John  Currier,  Jr.,  at  his  ship  yard  on  the  Merrimac  river, 
the  most  distinguished  ship  builder  ever  in  Newburyport,  whose 
name  Mas  a  suthcient  guarantee  of  honest  work.  He  helped  estab- 
lish manufacturing  by  his  money  and  influence,  was  a  trustee  of 
many  estates,  a  director  in  many  corporations,  and  personally  known 
to  a  large  circle  of  business  men. 

He  never  sought  public  ofhce,  and  well  fitted  as  he  was  to  per- 
form the  duties  of  any  position  his  fellow  citizens  might  have  called 
him  to  occupy,  he  could  not  have  used  the  means  too  often  required 
to  secure  ofiice.  He  was  persuaded,  however,  to  accept  an  election 
to  the  School  Board,  where  he  served  several  years  as  Chairman, 
with  the  warm  approval  of  the  community,  until  he  declined  a  re- 
election. 

He  was  comiectcd  with  many  benevolent  societies,  to  which  he 
was  a  contributor.  He  was  one  of  the  vice-presidents  of  the  Mass. 
IJible  Society,  and  of  the  JNIerrimac  Bible  Society ;  president  of  the 
jNIerrimac  Ilnmane  Society;  trustee  of  Oak  Hill  Cemetery ;  vice- 
president  of  the  r>unker  Hill  j\Ionument  Association  ;  president  of 
the  Society  for  the  Prevention  ol"  Cruelty  to  Animals  ;  trustee  for 
years  of  Dinnmer  Academy,  and  rendering  it  material  iinaneial  aid. 
He  was  a  mend)er  of  the  JMassachusetts  Branch  of  the  Society  of  the 
Cincinnati,  and  for  years  one  of  the  Standing  Connnittee.  Governor 
Andrew,  whose  personal  friend  he  was,  unsolicited  a])pointed  him 
a  Justice  of  the  Peace  and  (Quorum,  and,  in  1870,  the  honorary 
degree  of  jNIaster  of  Arts  ^vas  conferred  \\\)0\\  him  by  Yale,  and  his 
name  appears  among  the  graduates  of  1833. 

He  early  became  i)romiuent  in  the  financial  institutions  of  the  city. 
lie  was  chosen  a  director  in  the  Mechanics  Bank  in  1817,  now 
iMechanics  National  liank,  and  was  its  president  from  1861  till  his 
decease.  He  was  made  a  Trustee  of  the  Institution  for  Savings  in 
1853,  and  was  its  president  from  18G1  till  his  resignation  in  1899. 
During  his  connection  with  it  the  deposits  increased  from  a  little 
over  a  million  to  nearly  six  million  dollars.  The  pros})erity  of  both 
these  institutions  is  sufHcient  evidence  of  his  care  and  ability,  and 
Avhcrever  he  was  an  olliccr  his  name  ijave  confidence.

Great  as  are  the  obligations  of  Ncwl>uryi)ort  to  i\Ir.  INIoselcy  in 
many  ways,  none  is  more  worthy  of  rciuonihrancc  than  liis  work  for 
tlio  Piihlic  liihrary.  It  wii8  cstaMishcd  in  Ibf)!,  only  two  years 
after  that  of  Hostoii,  and  he  was  clce[)ly  interested  in  it  from  its  eom- 
mencenient.  At  lirst  a  room  was  provided  for  it  in  the  City  Hall, 
bnt  it  was  soon  found  to  be  entirely  inadequate,  and  i\Ir.  iSIoseley 
was  the  leader  in  the  movement  to  seeure  better  aecommodations. 
He  gave  generously  himself,  and  solieited  help  from  his  large 
acquaintance  with  the  friends  of  Newburyport.  He  bought  the 
Prince  House,  one  of  the  historic  old  houses  of  the  city,  where 
AVashington  and  Ivafayette  had  been  entertained,  and  secured  fluids 
enough  to  pay  for  and  improve  it,  with  a  sur[)lus  to  keep  it  always 
in  repair.  Not  long  after,  (ieorge  Peabody,  the  noted  philanthropist, 
who  as  a  boy  had  lived  in  the  city,  called  on  Mr.  ]\[()seley  and  stated 
that  he  had  determined  to  make  a  gift  in  remembrance  of  his  New- 
buryi)ort  residence,  and  asked  advice  as  to  how  he  could  most 
benetit  the  city.  INIr.  jNloseley  suggested  the  Public  Library,  which 
had  the  approval  of  Mr.  Peabody,  who  at  once  sent  a  check  for 
$15,000,  the  income  of  which  was  for  years  almost  the  only  depen- 
dence for  new  books.  Later,  in  1882,  came  the  need  of  an  en- 
largement, and  again  Mr.  jSIoseley  led  the  movement,  giving  him- 
self and  applying  by  personal  appeals  to  those  he  thought  able  and 
willing  to  assist.  Among  others  he  addressed  JMichael  H.  Simpson,  a 
wealthy  and  generous  son  of  Xewburyport,  who  made  the  noble 
answer  that  he  would  honor  a  check  for  all  that  was  drawn  on  him. 
A  clear-headed  business  man,  Mr.  Simpson  would  probably  have 
uiade  such  an  answer  to  but  few,  but  he  loved  his  native  city,  as  he 
sh(jwed  in  many  ways,  and  he  knew  j\Ir.  jMoseley  and  had  faith  iu 
his  judgment  and  integrity.  The  amount  of  the  check  drawn  was 
nearly  $20,000,  and  the  addition  was  named  Simpson  Annex  in 
honor  of  this  magnilicent  gift.  INfr.  JMoseley  was  active  to  the  last 
in  tiervico  ibr  the  Library,  and  made  it  a  beijuest  of  $5,000. 

It  is  worthy  of  mention  in  connection  with  the  Newbury|)ort 
Public  Library,  that  while  most  other  cities  and  towns  have  been 
obliged  to  provide  library  buildings  and  books  by  public  taxation,  in 
the  case  of  Boston  amounting  to  millions,  every  dollar  for  the  build- 
ing and  contents  has  been  a  gift,  the  city  paying  only  for  the  care, 
and  recent  gifts  have  been  ample  for  its  permanent  maintenance. 
The  Newbury[)ort  Public  Library  was  also  one  of  the  lirst  in  the 
country  to  establish  a  reading  room  in  1870,  for  the  leading  news- 
papers of  the  day  as  well  as  the  magazines,  to  supply  a  larger  room 
for  which  was  one  of  Mr.  INIoseley's  reasons  for  urging  an  addition 
to  the  library  building. 

In  the  long  list  of  the  able  and  successful  men  of  Newburyport 
Mr.  Moseley  must  certainly  be  placed  among  the  first.  He  was 
more  a  leader  than  a  follower  among  men.  He  looked  into  an 
enterprise  before  he  engaged  in  it,  weighed  well  the  chances  for  and

aji^iiinst  it3  success,  and  was  never  drawn  into  any  of  those  doubtful  i' 

schemes  to  sudden  wealth,  which  have  been  so  prolific  and  attractive 
in  the  past  ^q.w  years.  lie  not  only  contributed  to  the  ditFercnt 
charitable  institutions,  but  his  private  charities  were  frequent  and  un-  .  ; 

heralded.      Among  other  gifts  to  the  city  was  the  fountain  that  orna-  \ 

nients  Frog  Pond.  lie  was  always  conservative,  and  rarely  erred 
in  his  judgment.  He  did  not  neglect  the  opinions  of  others,  but 
tliey  must  be  confirmed  by  his  own  examination.  When  he  had  once 
made  up  his  mind  to  a  course  he  had  a  8tr(jng  will  power  that  was  • '  *  ( 

not  easily  diverted  from  its  decision.  He  operated  with  his  own  i^;  f 
means,  and  I  have  heard  him  say  that  he  had  never  given  a  note,  a  .<*.^:| 
rare  remark  to  make  for  one  whose  business  had  been  so  extensive.  Vff 
He  was  strong  in  the  confidence  of  the  conununity,  for  his  integrity  •  Jv  < 
Avas  un(piestioncd  and  his  word  not  doubted.  He  was  kind  in  giving 
advice  to  ladies  and  persons  of  limited  means  in  business  matters, 
and  it  was  ot'ten  sought.  "W^ith  a  wisii  to  ol)lige  where  he  could  do 
so  saiely,  ho  hud  too  nmch  regard  for  iiis  duty  to  the  institutions  he 
served  to  make  unjustifiable  loans,  and  the  stoekholilers  I'elt  secure 
in  his  hands.  He  was  independent  in  his  opinions  and  actions,  for 
he  had  too  strong  a  sense  of  right  to  be  bound  by  party  or  sect 
against  his  convictions.  His  moral  power  was  elevating  to  the 
comnmnity,  for  in  a  familiar  intercourse  of  forty-five  years  I  never 
knew  him  to  use  a  prol'ane  word,  nor  an  impia-c  word,  and  I  have 
heard  him  rebuke  others  for  such  a  course.  He  had  been  for  many 
years  a  member  of  St.  Paid's  T'piscopal  Church. 

He  was  literary  in  his  tastes,  and  showed  in  a  marked  degree  the 
influence  of  his  college  training.  He  was  fond  of  books,  and  of 
choice  books,  as  indicated  by  his  ])rivate  library,  and  showed  ex- 
cellent judgment  in  the  selection  of  books  for  the  Public  Library  as 
trustee  of  tlic  Peabody  Fund,  preferring  works  of  permanent  value 
to  the  transitory  fiction  that  bo  fills  our  lil>rai'ies.  He  read  nuich, 
was  well  informed  in  current  events  and  in  the  literature  of  the  day, 
and,  among  other  periodicals,  had  taken  Littell's  Living  Age  from 
its  conunenccment. 

He  became  a  life  member  of  the  Historic  Genealogical  Society  in 
1870,  was  interested  in  its  special  work,  and  contributed  valuable 
articles  to  the  Kegisthu. 

AVhen  he  had  occasion  to  address  the  public  as  Chairman  of  the 
School  Committee  and  at  other  times,  he  ae([uitted  himself  with  credit. 

He  prepared  for  private  distril)ution  a  genealogy  of  his  branch  of 
the  jMo.seley  family,  which  he  dedicated  to  his  children  in  these  most 
appropriate  words  :  "It  is  an  incentive  to  children  to  transmit  un- 
impaired tlie  legacy  of  an  honorable  tlescent,  and  as  the  record  of 
our  ancestry  is  altogether  worthy,  the  iuHuence  which  the  knowledge 
of  this  may  exert  upon  those  who  come  after  me  renders  the  service 
I  here  perform,  though  so  imperfectly,  a  duty  as  well  as  a  pleasure."

Compiled  by  R.  D.  Smyth  and  coninmuicated  by  IJeunard  C.  Steinee. 

These  two  men  were  among  the  iirst  settlers  of  JMilford.    Saviige  (Vol.  1,  ' 

p.  393)  incorrectly  calls  them  father  and  son.  They  had  some  relationship 
to  each  other  and  were  more  probably  uncle  and  nephew.  The  families 
were  among  the  most  prominent  in  church  and  town.  The  names  of  the 
several  cliildren  were  tlie  same,  and  on  account  of  the  imperfect  state  of  the  ^  j; 

records  there  is  some  dilhculty  in  distinguishing  them.  "^ ;?

the  :Milford  Church,  Nov.  22,  IGIO.  She  died  July  19,  1G89.  He 
was  freipicutly  a  delegate  to  the  General  Court.  INIrs.  Sarah  Whit- 
•  man  (widow  of  Khler  Zachary)  calls  him  nephew.  His  inventory 
included  "an  old  negio  woman,"  and  £2Ui  in  money.  The  total 
amount  of  property  was  £1581  Gs.  lOd.  There  is  no  will  on  the 
,  Probate  Records  at  New  Haven,  but  in  a  suit  brouglit  by  his 
grandson  George  Clark  against  Nathan  Clark,  IMarch  30,  1737,  it 
is  alleged  that  he  left  a  will  dated  Apiil  15,  1078,  which  was  proved 
before  the  Court  of  Assistants  at  Hartford,  INlay  20,  1091,  in  which 
he  devised  certain  lands  to  his  wife  Sarah,  during  life,  with  re- 
mainder over  to  his  son  George  Clark  and  the  heirs  of  his  body. 
In  th(!  course  of  tliat  trial,  it  appears  that  this  will  was  also  entered 
on  the  Town  Kecords  at  Milford,  but  a  search  iu  both  places  has 
not  disclosed  it.

unnouncin.'  to  you  the  death  of  my  beloved  Grandfather.  lie  died  the 
ui-ht  before  last,  at  11  o'clock,  of  the  lung  fever,  after  a  short  but  very 
severe  illness."  She  then  describes  the  progress  of  his  disease,  and  names 
Uncle  Pice  and  Uncle  Enoch  and  Aunt  Priard,  and  continues  with  the 
statement  that  "Three  infant  children  are  thus  deprived  of  a  father's

LETTER  FROIM  REV.  ALEXANDER  GARDEN. 

Cominuiiicatecl  by  Geo.  A.  Gordon,  A.M. 

The  original  of  the  following  letter  is  prcHcrveil  in  the  files  of  the 
New-Eiiglaiul  Iliatoric  Genealogical  Sot-iety  in  Boston.  The  manu- 
seript  id  of  a  plain,  clear  writing,  in  ink  still  black,  and  on  linen 
paper  of  a  good  quality — the  page  measuring  sLx  and  a  half  by  eight 
inches : 

Sir — Your  Letter  of  the  21st  X'"^"",  17-12  is  now  beforo  me,  w°^  to- 
gether wilh  the  JNIS.  l>ook,  and  the  Sermon,  you  tlicrewitli  sent  me,  came 
safe  to  hand  fcome  AVciks  ago.  lie  pleased,  good  Sir,  to  accept  of  my 
hearty  thanks  for  these  Favours,  till  it  shall  fall  iu  my  way  to  make  some 
more  a(k't|uate  Return. 

The  jMS.  I  set  a  special  Value  on,  as  the  Work,  I  firmly  believe  (from 
the  Handwriting,  the  Persons  approving,  the  Author's  Name  (all  of  the 
Name  1  ever  heard  of  iu  Scotland  being  descended  from  the  one  very 
ancient  Family,  of  the  Stile  or  Title  of  lilackford ;  w*^'' Title  and  Estate 
were  unhap|>ily  fooled  away  by  my  Grandfather)  and  some  traditional  Items 
I  can  rec(/llect  of  the  Family,  after  a  long  absence  of  3G  years)  of  my 
grand  Uncle,  a  4th  sou  of  the  Family,  and  a  Schoolmaster  on  Elgin. 
But  however,  whether  it  be  so  or  not,  1  accept  it  as  a  viTy  kind  and  gene- 
rous Present  from  you  ;  shall  make  proper  Encpiiry  about  it  in  the  Family  ; 
and  meantime  very  heartily  thank  you  for  it. 

I  am  also  under  still  farther  obligation  to  you,  for  the  favourable  Senti- 
ments you  are  pleased  to  express  of  the  late  Attempts  I  have  been  drove 
into,  (under  that  of  old  age  and  other  Inlirmities)  iu  Defence  of  what  I 
lirndy  believe  to  be  the  Cause  of  Truth,  against  the  Franticks  gone  forth 

'mongst  us.     I  could  now  indeed  wish,  that  my  Pen  ag'  W d  had  run 

in  somewhat  smoother  a  Stile.  Put  had  you  been  on  the  Spot,  to  have 
seen  the  Frenzie  he  excited  'mong  the  People ; — the  Ihtterness  and  Virii- 
lency  wherewith  he  raved  against  the  Clergy  of  the  Chh.  of  England  in 
general ; — and  how  artfully  he  laboured  to  sett  the  INIobb  upon  me  in  par- 
ticular ; — 1  dare  say,  you  would  have  thought  the  Provca*^!!  enough  to  rullle 
any  Temper,  and  a  sulFicient  Apology  for  the  keenest  expressions  T  have 
used  against  him.  And  as  to  my  putting  the  Eccles.  Laws  in  Execution 
against  him,  my  Conscience  would  give  me  no  Peace  had  I  neglected  so 
boundeu  a  Duty.  I  have  always  executed  them  on  oU'ending  Clei-gymen 
iu  this  Province,  whose  olfences  reaclunl  not  ru^ar  the  Size  and  Notoriety 
of  his,  and  wilh  God's  assistance  shall  continue  to  (Jo  ho.  AVdiile  luj  con- 
tiuurd  a  Pr(sbyl(  r  of  the  CIdi.  of  I'lngland,  he,  was  Sni)ject  to  her  Laws; 
iK)\v  ho  is  cast  out,  diey  ha\c  no  farther  hold. 

As  to  iho  Slate  of  Iveligiou  in  this  I'rovinee,  it  is  bad  enough,  (M)d 
knows.  Ivonio  and  llio  Devil  have  contrived  to  crueil'y  her  'twixt  two 
Thieves,  Jii!iih;li(y  and  Enthusiasm.  'J'he  former,  alas!  too  much  still  pre- 
vails;  but  as  to  the  Latter,  thanks  to  Ciod,  it  is  greatly  subsidt'd,  and  e\en 
on  the  Point  of  vanishing  away.  We  had  hero  'I'rances,  Yisii)ns  and  IJeve- 
hitions,  bolh  'numg  IWaeks  and  Whites,  iu  ubnndance.  ])iit  isver  since  the

A.  Garden. 

S''  Carl"%  Charlestown,  Mar.  20tb,  1742-3. 

Rev.  Alexander  Garden,  the  writer,  was  a  Scotchman,  as  evi- 
denced by  his  christened  name,  s[)rung  iVom  the  Gardens  of  Troup 
and  Glenlyn.  Anciently,  the  family  of  (iarden,  or  Gardync,  as 
often  written,  occupied  lands  at  Hanchary,  in  the  valley  of  the  Dee, 
on  the  southern  boundary  of  Aberdeenshire.  A  son  of  the  lord 
Garden  of  Ixmchary  was  an  officer  in  the  Scottish  contin<^cnt,  sent 
by  Charles  I.  to  the  assistance  of  Gustavus  Adolphus,  and  was  en- 
gaged iu  the  battle  of  Lutzen,  where  the  Protestant  hero  perished. 
On  return,  jNIajor  Garden  purchased  the  Troup  lands  on  the  Banff 
coast,  and  established  the  family  there.  The  reverend  gentleman, 
who  was  of  the  third  generation  from  the  major,  entered  holy  orders 
and  was  for  some  years  the  parish  priest  at  Birse,  in  Aberdeenshire, 
on  the  south  bank  of  the  Dee.  About  1720,  he  became  rector  of 
St.  Philips,  Charlestown,  in  the  province  of  South  Carolina,  and 
Boon  was  appointed  by  the  Bishop  of  London,  who  had  cccle.t^iustical 
jurisdiction  in  the  })rovincc,  his  couunissary  ;  and,  by  this  latter  title, 
Mr.  Garden  is  known  to  history,  lie  was  a  vigilant  and  strict 
executive,  wh.o  promptly  arrested  and  jiunished  improper  clerical  con- 
duct, l^hls  course  brought  George  AVhitlield,  then  a  clergyman,  into 
controversy  with  him.  He  was  as  severe  in  his  own  coiuhict  as  in 
the  discipline  of  others.  The  exact  tenth  of  his  income  he  gave  to 
charity  and  in  other  respeets  governed  his  life  by  systematic  rule. 
lie  was  prominent  in  educational  reform  and  estal)lished  a  negro 
school — reputed  the  earliest  known  among  the  Knglish.  A  report, 
dated  1 7r)(),  details  his  success  in  this  instruction  ami  itemizes  his 
distribution  of  prayer-books,  bibles  and  devotional  work,  among 
the  negro  population,  lie  died  iu  1750,  after  a  rectorate  of  thirty- 
four  years. 

A  son  of  Couunissary  Garden  became  a  successful  and  distin- 
giushed  [)hysiclan  at  Charleston — Alexander  Garden.      Beside  his

LEWIS  ALLEN  OF  WATKRTOWN  FARiMS  AND  HIS 
DESCENDANTS. 

By  Allen  II.  Bent,  member  of  the  New-Englaiul  Historic  Qeuealogical  Society. 
1.  Licwrs^  Allen  of  Watertown  Farms  (Weston),  INIass.,  seems  to  have 
been  neglected  by  most  of  the  early  genealogical  writers,  except  Hond,  who 
unfortunately  confuses  some  of  his  descendants  with  those  of  Walter  Allen. 
The  two  families  located  in  the  same  precinct  at  about  the  same  time,  but 
do  not  appear  to  liave  been  related.  Some  of  the  former's  descendants 
continued  to  live  in  the  southern  half  of  the  town  until  1780,  while  the 
descendants  of  Walter  lived  on  their  ancestral  farm  in  the  northwest  part 
of  the  town  for  more  than  lialf  a  century  longer.  The  first  mention  of 
Lewis  Allen  is  the  record  of  birth  of  a  child  in'lGGo.  He  died  in  Water- 
town  Farms,  Jan.  24,  1708.  There  is  a  frail  tradition  that  he  was  from 
Wales.  Though  not  distinctively  a  AVelsh  name,  the  name  of  Allen  is  found 
there  early  (they  had  a  Saint  Alan  in  the  sixth  century),  but  Lewis  and 
]\Iiles  ar(^  of  pure  Welsh  origin. 

Lewis  Allen  married  iirst,  Sarah  Ives,  born  in  Watertown,  Oct.  11, 
1G39,  daughter  of  INIiles  and  Martha  Ives.  He  married  second,  Mrs.  Mary 
(Sherman)  Freeman,  widow  of  Henry  Freeman  of  Watertown,  who  died 
Nov.  i-1,  1G72.  See  Middlesex  Deeds,  where,  Dec.  G,  1G77,  a  deed  of  Henry 
Freeman  in  1GG5,  is  confirmed  by  his  widow,  "  INlary  Freeman  alias  Allin, 
with  y''  consent  of  Lewis  Allen  my  husband."  Mrs.  Allen  died  in  Water- 
town  Farms,  July  15,  1703.

3.  Ebenezeu^  Allen*  (Lewis^),  cordwaincr  and  farmer,  was  born  in 

Watertown  Farms  (Weston),  about  1G77,  and  died  in  the  part  of 
Lancaster  now  Clinton,  July  9,  1770,  in  his  l)4th  year,  the  Lancas- 
ter records  say.  In  17;32,  '^3,  ','54  and  '35  he  represented  Weston  in 
the  Legislature.  Dee.  15,  17-lG,  he  bought  from  his  son  John,  who 
had  purchased  the  property  in  February  of  the  same  year,  one  hun- 
dred and  eighty  acres  in  Lancaster,  with  buildings,  mill,  orchard, 
etc.  The  farm  and  mill  on  the  Nashua  River  were  in  the  part  of 
the  town  incorporated  in  1850  as  the  town  of  Clinton.  Although 
Lancaster  had  been  settled  a  century  before,  this  part  of  the  town 
was  .still  essentially  a  wilderness  with  less  than  a  dozen  families,

WOODBRIDGE  RECORD. 

■1  : 

By  D.  r.  Peniiallow. 

In  the  course  of  certain  genealogical  investigations  wliich  the  autlior  is 
making,  some  errors  liave  l)een  not('d  in  the  Woodbridge  Record  as  pub- 
lished by  tlu!  Hon.  Donald  G.  IMitcliell.  Also  certain  facts  not  contained 
in  that  valual)le  publication,  l)ut  essential  to  the  completion  of  certain 
branches  of  the  family  then  dealt  with,  have  been  brought  to  my  notice.  It 
seems  proper  and  desirable  that  such  should  be  placed  on  record  for  future 
reference. 

In  the  Woodbridge  Record*  it  is  stated  that  Major  John  married  Mary 
Whiting.  As  known  to  the  family  of  the  author's  wife — herself  a  direct 
descendant  o*  the  tirst  Rev.  John  Woodbridge — this  is  an  error,  since  it  is 
known  that  he  married  Mary  AVhitney  of  Watertown,  Mass.,  as  will  also 
be  found  stated  in  the  History  of  Hadley.f  Again,  at  page  t)l  (201),  the 
issue  of  flolni  l)unla[)  and  JMartha  Woodbridge  is  not  only  incomplete,  but 
the  record  contains  grave  errors.     This  branch  should  be  given  as  follows  : — 

(2G1)  iv.  Martha  Woodbridge,  married  John  Dnnlap,  and  had: 

i.       Poi.i.v,  b.  Jan.  5,  1796;  d.  Dec.  16,  1856;  m.  Fph.  Smith,  Feb.  7,  1827,

With  respect  to  tlio  fore^oiii^,  T  may  Ktatc  certain  additional  facts  and 
make  a  few  oliscrvations  bcaiiiii;'  upon  llicni. 

Tlie  'i  own  Kccords  of  Ycjrk*  contain  the  following  entry,  nader  date  of 
JMay  ('),  1711: — ''(Jranted  nnto  dolin  Woodhridge,  thirty  acres  of  land 
where  he  can  iind  it  clear  of  all  former  grants,  and  he  settle  in  this  towne. 

AuKAii'"   I'uKni.i:,  Town  Clerk." 

This  is  the  earliest  record  concerniug  him  to  he  found,  from  which  it 
would  appear  that  his  advent  at  York  could  not  have  greatly  preceded  the 
date  above,  but  was  evidently  two  years  prior  to  the  date  given  in  the 
Woodbridge  Record. f  Subsecpiently  several  other  grants  of  land  were 
mad('  to  him  in  various  parts  of  the  town  and  at  Cape  Neddlck.t 

From  the  Church  Records,  it  appears  that  in  171'J  the  membership  in- 
cluded the  wife  of  John  (V.)  Woodbridge,  Eunice  (IX.)  and  Norton  (111.), 
as  also  the  wife  of  the  latter,  Anna.  Unfortunately  the  entry  docs  not 
embrace  the  full  name,  so  that  it  is  not  posaibhi  from  this  record  to  deter- 
mine i)recisely  who  Ntirton's  wife  was  at  that  time.  Norton  is  stated  to 
have  married  Anne  l?hillips,§  but  wo  date  is  given.  The  York  Records 
contain  no  record  whatever  of  such  a  j)erson,  and  the  only  data  I  can  find 
to  ju.^tify  the  j)ossibility  of  such  a  marriage,  are  in  the  connection  of 
the  \V(;o(lbridge  and  Phillips  families  as  indicated  by  the  name  Norton 
AVoodbridge  l'hilli}>8,  a  record  of  whose  marriage  to  Mary  I'arker,  on 
INIarch  -1,  177«,  is  to  be  found. ||  I  do  find,1[  however,  a  distinct  record  of 
the  intention  of  marriage  between  Norton  Woodbridge  and  Anne  Preble, 
dated  Jan.  17,  170."),  followed  by  a  record  of  their  marriage  by  the  Rev. 
Samuel  jNIoody,  on  Feb.  18,  17;{").  This  wife  is  a  few  years  later  (171U) 
referred  to  as  Anna,**  in  the  registralion  of  Church  members.  Whether 
Anne  Preble  was  his  lirst  wife  or  not,  and  whether  she  is  the  wife  Annett 
referred  to  in  his  will,  cannot  at  present  be  stated. 

Hannah,  daughter  of  Paul  1).,  who  married  Theodore  Weare,  is  entered 
in  the  records  as  residing  at  Vassalborough,  from  which  it  would  appear 
that  her  father  nuist  have  removed  to  that  town  in  the  later  years  of  his 
life.  At  any  rate,  no  records  concerning  hiui  appear  after  August  19, 
1781.  During  his  residence  in  York,  he  appears  to  have  married  twice. 
His  first  wife  was  Lucy,  by  whom  he  had  three  children.  His  second  wife 
was  Hannah,  by  whom  he  hail  live  children. 

Unfortunately  no  record  of  marriage  in  either  case  can  be  found,  nor  are 
the  full  names  of  his  wives  given  in  any  instance.  The  only  means  of 
identification  appear  in  the  records  of  baptism  of  their  children,  who  are 
referred  to  as  Norton  and  Lucy  or  Norton  and  Hannah. 

A  careful  search  in  the  old  cemetery  discloses  the  fact  that  of  all  the 
Woodbridg(;s  who  nmst  have  been  buried  at  York,  the  record  of  one  alone 
remains.  This  is  inscribed  upon  a  headstone  half  buried  in  the  ground  and 
closely  covered  by  bushes  which  have  grown  over  and  almost  hide  it  from 
view.      The  inscription  is  as  follows  : — 

"  Here  lies  interred  the  body  of  IMr.  Norton  Woodbridge,  who  departed 
this  lif(!  the  21)th  day  of  August,  17(J'J."

FRANCIS  NASH,  OF  BRAINTREE. 

By  Hon.  Joserii  W.  Pouteu,  of  Bangor,  Maine. 

Francis^  Nasii  is  found  in  limiutree  in  1G75,  when  he  was  a  soldier  in 
King  Philip's  war.  lie  may  liave  been  a  nepliew  of  James^  Nash  of  Wey- 
mouth. He  was  a  fanner  and  owned  and  lived  on  land  which  is  now 
on  Liberty  Street.  Ho  bought  100  acres  of  land  in  Hraiutree  of  Samuel 
White  and  wife,  of  Weymouth,  INIarch  4,  1G'J3,  for  £100.      He  married  1st, 

Elizabeth and  2d",  widow  Mary  "  Nyles,"  May  2,  1797,    (Her  maiden 

name  Avas  Mary  I'urchas  and  married  Increase  Niles,  lOtli  4mo.,  1G77,  by 
the  honored  Governor,  Mr.  John  Leverett.  I  think  she  was  daughter  of 
John  Purchas  of  lioston,  born  8  Feb.,  1G60.) 

Niles  and  Ids  wife  were  original  members  of  the  second  church  of  Brain- 
tree,  now  North  Braintree.  He  died  3  Aug.,  1713,  and  was  buried  in  the 
Old  Cemetery.  His  will,  dated  June  10,  1713,  was  proved  Aug.  24  of  the 
same  year.  He  names  wife  Mary,  oldest  son  Samuel  and  wife  Susannah, 
son  Thomas,  to  whom  he  gives  live  acres  of  land  where  his  house  now 
stands,  sons  Benjamin  and  James,  both  minors;  Elisabeth,  son-in-law  John 
Niles  and  his  wife  Margaret.  His  estate  was  appraised  Aug.  25,  1713,  at 
£345  15s.  His  estate  consisted  of  house,  barn,  arable  meadow,  pasture 
land  and  orchard.  Widow  IMary  Nash  died  Ai)ril  1  G,  1735,  aged  about  75. 
Rev.  Samuel  Niles  says:  "Mary  Niles  the  aged  buried  April  17,  1735." 

Children : 

1.  Emzabeth,''  born  7  Sept.,   1G77.     She  married  John  Veazie  about

the  first  members  of  the  Church  of  England  in  Ihaintree,  1704. 
His  family  were  of  that  communion  at  that  time.

She  died  June  7,  170G,  He  married  (2)  Susannah  Thayer,  INIay 
21,  1708.  I  think  she  was  Avidow  of  Samuel*  Thayer.  She  died 
Nov.  12,  1739.     He  died  between  1740  and  1742.     I  Hud  no  children.

mCIIAUD  SKINNER  OF  IMAllBLETIEAD  AND  HIS  BIBLE. 
SOME  MATERIALS  FOR  A  SKINNER   OENEALOGY. 

By  Miss  Elizabkth  Ellluy  D.vn.i,  of  Cambriilge,  Ma.ss. 

A  WAV  years  a^o  tlie  old  Bible  of  my  great-gruiiduiotlHir,  Eliz;x1)eth 
(Ellery)  Dana,  was  given  nie  on  account  of  my  name.  Jn  it  was  written 
merely  "  Elizahetli  Dana  17!>.J,"  but  lately,  in  looking  it  over,  J  discovered 
on  the  last  leaf  of  the  Old  Testament  some  writing  which  ])roved  the  Bible 
to  be  much  older,  going  at  least  as  far  back  as  1722.  No  name  was  signed 
to  this  writing,  but  the  memorand.i,  which  were  mostly  of  sermons  and 
lectures,  nuntioned  the  Rev.  jMr.  Ilolyoke  so  often  (for  example,  "  m"^  Boul- 
linch  pi-echt  heare  in  m""  lloleocks  absence")  that  it  was  evident  the  writer 
was  a  member  of  his  congregation.  Tiiis  shewed  him  to  have  been  an  in- 
habitant of  ^larblehead,  Mass. ;  Rev.  Edward  Ilolyoke,  afterward  president 
of  Harvard  College,  being  settled  over  the  Second  Church  in  Marblehead 
at  tliat  time. 

1  was  [ln'w  able  to  identify  the  writer  as  Richard  Skinner,  from  his  state- 
ment that  Nov.  oth,  1724,  was  "the  day  that  my  Dagtr  Tabatha  was 
maried,"  for  the  records  of  the  Second  Church  of  Maiblehead  give  the 
marriagi!,  by  Rev.  Edward  Ilolyoke,  of  Tabitha  Skinner  to  Joseph  Smeth- 
urst,  on  that  day.  Tabitha  was  the  daughter  of  Deacon  Richard  Skinner 
and  vVlice  AVoods  his  wife. 

His  entry  of  IMarch  14th,  1722/3,  "  y«  same  day  Son  N  .  .  .  k  departed 
tins  life,"  ia  an  additional  proof,  for  Richard  Skinner  had  a  son-in-law 
"William  Nick  (liusl)and  of  his  daughter  Grace),  who  died  at  about  that 
time.  The  town  records  do  not  give  the  date,  Ixit  "  JMr.  William  Nick's 
widow"  was  in  172-4  one  of  the  owners  of  the  Marblehead  Neck  property, 
othei-s  of  whom  were  Richard  Skinner,  John  Stacey  and  Capt.  Richard 
licith  ni(!(dioned  lati'r  in  this  article.*

1  have  110  due  to  the  way  iu  which  Richard  Skinner's  Bible  came  into  the 
possession  of  my  ancestress,  and  I  sliall  be  f^lad  if  any  reader  can  siii^gest 
one.  She  was  the  daughter  of  William  Ellery  of  Newport,  one  of  the 
Signers  of  the  Declaration  of  Independence,  was  born  Aug.  13,  1751, 
married  Francis  Dana,  afterwards  Chief  Justice  of  Massachusetts,  Aug.  5, 
177;J,  and  died  Aug.  30,  18U7.  Her  mother  was  Anne,  daughter  of  Judge 
Jonathan  Keraington.  In  an  old  Ivemiiigton  inventory  I  notice  a  JNIary 
Skinner  mentioned  among  the  legatees,  but  I  know  of  no  connection. 

The  following  is  a  copy  of  Richard  Skinner's  entries  in  the  Bible : — •

in  lookinj;  ii[i  in  tlu';  town  and  cIiuitIi  records  then;,  several  families  1  was 
interesteil  in,  among  them  that  of  Riehaid  Skinner,  and  in  that  way  came 
aerobs  various  entries  about  the  latter  which  may  possibly  be  of  use  to 
genealogists,  as  no  history  of  that  branch  of  Skinners  has,  I  believe,  been 
printed.  1  add  them  here,  althongb  1  wish  it  to  be  understood  that  I  offer 
them  only  as  very  fragmentary  notes. 

1,  Jamks  Skinn'KK.^     The  (irst  of  the  name,  so  far  as  I  am  aware,  to 
settle    in    ]\Iarblehead,    was   James   Skinner,    born   about    l(;;i5,   who    was 
drowned  in  Ho.stou  harbor,  Oct.  17,  17U1,  and  buried  in  the  King's  Chapel 
ground  in  Boston.     The  insci'i]ition  on  his  gravestone  ia  as  follows:

was  appointed  administrator  of  his  estate  Oct.  2'>,  1701.*

i         son  of  James  Skinner,    Nov.   .'U),  1(')(S2,  to  Alice  Woods  »>f  iMarl)le- 

head,  daughter  of  William  Woods,  innk(!e])i'r,  by  the  magistrate  and 

town  clerk,  INIoses  INIaverick."     She  died,  according  to  the  entry  iu 

'  ,  his  Bible,  Af)j'il  13,  172o,  in  her  oGth  year,  lie  died  March  D, 
172G-7,  and  is  buried  in  the  Pond  St.  burial-ground  at  Marhlehead. 
The  inscription  on  his  gravestone  states  that  he  died  aged  01. 
These  dates  would  make  his  age  sixteen  and  hers  fourteen  or  lifteea 
at  their  marriage. 

The  records  of  the  First  Church  state  that  "  Feb.  2G,  1G87,  Alice 
Skinner  [and  two  othei's]  on  examination  appearing  competently 
qualified  were  baptized  and  entered  into  this  Society."  She  was  ad- 
mitted to  full  conunnuion  Oct.  2,  1()'.)2,  her  husband  not  till  March 
4,  1701-5.  Later  "  the  Church  made  a  choic(^  of  John  Dixey  and 
Richard  Skinner  to  assist  Mr.  Ciale  and  read  the  Fsalms,  stand  as 
probationers  for  Deacons."  Dec.  l.'),  17 11,  "  Mr.  Kichard  Skinner, 
Dt'acon,  and  ("apt.  Azor  Gale  \\vn\  made  choice  of  by  the  Church  to 
obtain  concurrence  of  the  town  with  the  Church  in  choosing  Rev. 
j\lr.  John  Barnard  for  their  minister."  It  seems,  however,  that 
Richard  Skinner  did  not  give  his  own  concurrence  in  choosing  Mr. 
])arnard,  f(n-  we  soon  lind  him  supporting  Rev.  Edward  llolyoke  of 
]>oston  as  candidate,  and  such  a  controversy  arose  that  the  result 
was  the  forn:ing  of  a  new  Church  by  the  friends  of  Mr.  llolyoke. 
J'rominent  among  the  founders  of  this  Second  or  South  C!hurch 
(vvhi(di  more  than  a  century  after  became  Unitarian)  were  Richard 
and  Allicef  Skynner  and  'J  abitha  Woods,  who  was  probably  a  sister

Marblehead  Skinners,  but  merely  intended  to  preserve  materiarwhieh  I 
came  across  in  trying  to  identify  the  owner  of  an  old  Bible  and  trace  any

It  may  not  be  amiss  to  ornament  the  mouldings  with  a  light  airy  gildin"-

D^  Sir, 

Your  Letter  of  the  19'^^,  accompanying  12  p--  tlirt-ud  hose  came  safe  to 
hand — the  latter  I  fear  are  too  small,  but  they  must  do. 

I  thank  you  for  the  trouble  you  have  had  about  the  chariot.  The  sum 
for  which  the  old  one  sold  and  w'''  you  say  lyes  in  your  hands,  you  will  be 
so  good  as  to  pay  to  W  Washington's  order— first  deducting  the  price  of

RECORDS  OF  THE  FIRST  CIIURCII  OF  ROCKINGHAM, 

VER^ION'l\ 

Copied  by  Thomas  Bellows  Peck,  Esq.,  of  ^Ylllpolc,  N.  n. 
[Continued  from  page  300.] 

The  Chh  in  Rockingham  however  soon  calh'd  njiou  Clicster  members  & 
they  by  sending  ns  a  Cojty  of  their  Covenant  &  iirocjeeiling.s  gave  ns  full 
satisfaction  that  they  were  duly  Organized  &  regularly  srjjaratfd  from  us 
as  a  distinct  Chh.  during  the  first  five  years  two  of  the  first  nine  who  sub- 
scribed the  Covenant  were  removed  by  Death,  Since  the  first  gatliering 
of  till!  Chh,  al)0Ut  7U  have  been  rfceived,  sinne  of  whom  have  been  removd 
by  Death,  others  have  removed  from  us  to  other  places  Some  have  so 
left  us  in  prineiplo  as  to  have  left  our  Communion,  &  there  remains  now 
about  ru),  little  more  than  12  are  Slales,  a  Considerable  part  of  the  male 
members  are  aged,  &  the  active  jjart  of  the  Chh  are  about  as  small  as  when 
I  was  ordained. 

It  pleased  Providence  to  remove  from  the  Chh  some  years  past  &  soon 
after  each  other  three  Deacons  who  as  it  were  began  with  us,  &  were  great 
supi>orters  &.  helpers  to  further  Religion  among  ns. 

Tlie  unhappy  di.^^putes  in  Politics  which  at  several  times  have  run  so  high 
among  ns,  have  evidently  been  unfavourable  to  the  flourishing  of  Religion, 
the  Di.spntes  &  divisions  in  respect  to  Religious  jn-inciides  which  have  had 
a  great  run  among  us,  tho'  they  may  not  have  lessened  the  (.Quantity  of 
Religion,  have  been  unfavourable  to  the  Communion  &  Numbers  of  the 
Chh.  The  increase  of  'WValth  in  this  Town  &  the  Introduction  of  Luxu- 
ries, the  Changes  in  Civil  (Government,  the  endi'avours  Sc  attempts  which 
have  been  made  for  Obtai)iing  some  Publick  funds  for  providing  a  decent 
house  &  supporting  Publick  Worship  therein,  &  the  disappointments  which 
attended  these  attemjits,  &  the  common  Disputes  which  have  arisen  in  Civil 
matters,  all  have  evidently  appeared  unfavourable  to  the  flourishing  state 
of  outward  Ruligion  among  us.  the  mention  of  these  general  things  read- 
ily reminds  ns  of  the  great  Share  of  Calamity's  Avhich  we  have  suffered  & 
been  carried  thro'.  Our  present  weakness,  &  the  frowns  of  Heaven  which 
are  tipon  us  need  not  be  dissend>led  &  every  private  View  may  well  be 
swallow'd  uj)  in  a  regard  for  Religion  &  Comnuudty.  At  the  present  pop- 
ulous State  of  the  Town,  &  its  great  increase  in  AVealth  no  decent  })rovision 
can  be  made  for  jinblick  Worship  after  repeated  trials ;  AV'ithout  any  addi- 
tion to  the  ]\linister'8  Salary  under  all  the  depreciation  that  attends  it  It 
lias  become  more  e't  more  burdensome  no  decent  provisions  are  made  for 
the  Administiation  of  Ordinances  but  not  to  enlarge  upon  the  peculiar  Cir- 
cumstances of  the  Town  as  might  easily  be  done,  the  Pastor  wishes  to  be 
encouraged  &  strengthened,  if  it  can  be  done  consistent  with  truth  &  hon- 
esty, othervvays  not. 

The  above  Statement  of  the  Pastor  was  not  objected  to  or  disputed  by 
the  brethren,  it  being  re(|uested  by  the  brethren  to  hear  what  the  I'astor 
olVerr'd  to  the  Peo{»le  last  October,  when  he  left  off  I'reaching  the  substance 
of  it  was  read  to  them  &  is  as  follows  — 

I  would  mention  to  the  Congregation  that  it  is  twenty  four  years  since 
my  being  a  ^Minister  here  the  27"'  of  October  next,  next  Sabbath  on  which

Rockingham  A.D.  1818. 

V>v  it  remembered,  that  Elijah  Wollage  on  the  first  Saturday  of  July 
A.D.  1818,  came  first  to  this  town,  at  the  request  of  Judge  Knight,  one  of 
the  Com',  for  hiring  preaching  to  supply  the  pulpit  in  the  north  meeting 
house  in  s'^  Rockingliam  .  .  .  That  the  said  A\'ollage  contracted  for  four 
months,  that,  on  the  expiration  of  that  term,  the  Society  gave  him  a 
call  to  preach  with  them  four  years,  beginning  the  first  of  July  af'd.  that 
he  accept''  tlie  call  on  a  salary  of  $125.00  per  annum,  that  as  the  church

bers either  dead  or  removed  away  or  had  joined  to  some  other  denomination

houso  of  the  Rev^  Elijah  "Wollage,  in  said  Tlockin<Tham,  and,  after  due 
examination  of  M""  AVhiting's  records  and  that  no  visible  church  of  Christ 
could  i^ossibly  be  found:  they  submitted  to  the  few,  who  had  been  profes- 
sors in  the  old  churcli,  under  INf  A\'hitinii;,  and  some  utliers,  who  had  been 
members  of  other  churches,  the  following  confession  of  faith  and  covenant, 
viz, — 

We  believe  &c  &c 

You  and  each  of  you  believe  there  is  only  one  living  and  true  GOD. 
that  there  is  One  IMediator  between  God  and  man,  even  desiis  Christ,  and 
there  is  no  salvation  in  any  other :  that  the  Holy  Ghost  proceedeth  from 
the  Father  and  the  Son  and  is  the  Kenower,  Sanctitier,  Comforter  and  per- 
fecter  of  his  Saints;  and  that  these  three.  Father,  Son  and  Holy  Ghost,  are 
the  one  GOD. 

We  believe  &c 

You  and  each  of  you  believe  that  the  Scriptures  of  the  Old  and  New 
Testaments  are  the  word  of  GOD,  and  the  only  sure  guide  to  direct  the 
tempers,  desires  and  dependance  of  the  soul  and  the  actions  of  life :  that 
sin  is  a  most  deadly  evil  and  unrei)ented  of,  will  issue  in  endless  death,  its 
just  wages :  while  true  holiness  is  exceeding  lovely  in  itself  and  will  pro- 
duce unspeakable  hapjjiness  to  its  possessors,  and  end  in  eternal  life  and 
blessedness  in  the  kingdom  of  glory. 

Thus  \  [  profess  and  believe, 

(youj  ^ 

Covenant. 

We  do  now  covenant  — 

You  and  each  of  you  do  now  endeavor,  in  the  sincerity  of  our  (your)  hearts, 
to  take  the  Lord  Jehovah,  Father,  Son  and  Holy  Ghost,  whose  being  and 
}»erfections  we  (you)  have  professed  to  believe,  to  be  our  (your)  (iOD,  and 
engage  to  be  his  willing  subjects  forever.  AVe  (you)  take  the  holy  scrip- 
tures for  the  only  rule  of  our  (your)  life  and  accordingly  covenant  to  live 
agreeably  to  llicm,  a  life  of  repentauce,  faith  and  new  obedieni^e ;  and  to 
renouDce  vwvy  evil  i.^  lalse  way.  AVe  give  (you  give)  up  oursclvi's  (your- 
.self)  to  Christ  in  this  his  church  and  engage  to  attend  on  all  the  ordinances 
of  GOD's  house  and  the  GosjjcI  discipline  here  administered,  so  long  as  it 
shall  please  God  to  continue  us  (you)  here  among  us. 

Tiius  wo  (you)  and  eacli  of  you  promist^  and  engage,  depending  on  divine 
grace  to  enable  us  {yon)  rightly  to  perform  these  our  (your)  Covenant 
N'ows. 

The  foregoing  Confession  of  faith  and  Coveiumt,  having  been  read  by 
the  Jvov.  IM''  Sage  in  the  presence  of  the  other  ministers  and  many  wit- 
nesses, they  were  both  unanimously  adojjted  and  subsci'ibed  to,  by  Samuel 
Obor,  Jlezekiah  liice,  John  Stoel,  William  Sterns,  and  Nathan^  Clark,  and 
also  by  Lydia  Sterns  and  Elizabeth  Ivice. 

After  the  foregoing  had  been  subscribed  to,  they  were  again  read  by  the 
Rev.  JM""  Sage,  to  the  subscribing  memljcrs,  in  the  Second  pc^rson.  You  and 
each  of  you  itc  &c  &c  and  the  subscribers  having  made  choice  of  the  l?ev.

AIMEKICAN  DOCTORATES  AT  GOTTINGEN. 

By  James  Davii;  ISuTLiiii,  LL.D.,  Madison,  Wis. 

A  DINNER  was  recently  given  in  New  York  at  the  INIctropolitau 
Club  in  honor  of  Americans  who  in  the  fifties  studied  at  the  Gcoro-c- 
Augustus  University  of  Gottingen.  At  the  table  where  thirty-two 
sat  down  an  account  was  presented  of  all  Americans  known  to  have 
previously  studied  at  that  institution,  and  the  names  of  six  were 
brought  forward,  namely:  Everett,  Ticknor,  Bancroft,  Cogswell, 
Longfellow  and  Motley.  But  half  of  these  —  Ticknor,  Longfellow 
and  iNIotlcy  —  oljtained  no  degree  there.  The  other  three  were 
there  made  doctors  of  j)hilosoi)hy  :  Edward  Everett  in  1817,  J.  G. 
Cogswell  and  George  liancroft  two  years  later. 

Another  name  was  unaccountably  overlooked  in  this  roll  of  honor 
as  reported  in  the  Proceedings  of  the  jSIassachusetts  Historical  So- 
ciety, 2d  S.  xii.  p.  otiG:  namely,  Bobcrt  Bridges  Patton.  Patton, 
born  at  Pluladeii)liia  in  1704,  was  graduated  from  Yale  in  1817, 
and  at  once  became  tutor  at  JNliddlebury  ;  was  soon  elected  Professor 
with  leave  to  study  abroad,  and  in  1821  was  doctoratcd  at  Gottin- 
gen— the  fourth  American  thus  honored — no  longer  after  the  second 
and  third  than  they  came  after  the  first.  Patton  was  Professor  in 
IMIddlebury  till  1825,  then  in  Princeton  till  1820,  then  in  the 
University  of  the  C/ity  of  New  York,  lie  brought  to  Middlebury 
a  valuable  classical  library  ;  established  a  Philological  Society  ;  and 
gave  such  an  impulse  to  classical  study  there  as  is  still  felt.  Among 
his  publications  were  a  translation  of  the  Greek  Tables  of  Thiersch 
(pp.  >i(}>),  Andover,  1822;  New  York,  1830;  and  the  first  American 
edition  of  Donnegan's  Greek  Lexicon,  Boston,  1832,  with  correctiona 
from  Passow's  Thesaurus,  and  suppressions  of  words  that  lacked 
classical  authority,  etc.  lie  was  cut  down  in  the  midst  of  his  beat 
years,  in  1830.

The  following  is  taken  in  substance  from  the  history  of  Attleboro,  Mass., 
pnb.  by  John  Doggett,  Ks(j.,  in  1834  : 

"  lu'V.  llabijali  Weld,  the  third  minister  of  Attleboro,  was  distinguished 
for  his  UHefiilncHs  in  the  ministry,  and  higidy  respectcul  as  a  man  both  at 
liome  and  abroad.  I  lis  united  to  an  unconnnon  degree,  the  allVctions  of 
his  j)eopie  for  the  long  period  of  nearly  55  years  during  which  he  was  their 
Tastor.  lie  was  a  man  of  tah'nts  and  respectablt>  ac(piirements ;  was  ex- 
tensively knoAvn.  He  graduated  at  Harvard  College  in  1723,  and  was 
ordained  pastor  of  the  first  church  in  Attleboro,  Oct.  1,  1727.  The  follow- 
injr  notice  of  his  character  is  taken  from  a  conmninication  in  Dr.  Dwiiiht's 
Travels.  JMr.  \Veld  was  below  the  middle  stature,  and  in  the  latter  part 
of  his  life,  corpulent.  His  constitution  was  vigorous,  and  his  mind  almost 
singularly  energetic.  The  stipend  which  he  received  from  his  parishioners 
consisted  of  an  annual  salary  of  two  hundred  and  twenty  dollars,  and  the 
use  of  a  parsonage  lot  which  furnished  him  with  wood,  and  a  little  pasture. 
With  his  [)atrimony  he  purchased  a  farm  of  about  70  acres  of  moderately 
good  land,  and  a  decent  house.  His  numerous  family  were  educated  with 
the  means  that  have  been  mentioned,  in  a  manner  superior  to  what  is  usually  • 

found  in  similar  circumstances,  entertained  much  company  in  a  style  of  / 

geiiuine  hospitality,  and  was  always  prepared  to  contribute  to  the  necessities 
of  others.  ^ 

Fur  the  regulation  of  his  domestic  concerns,  Mr.  Weld  prescribed  to  him- 
self and  his  family,  a  fixed  system  of  rules,  which  were  always  observed,  '

and  contributcil  not  a  litllo  to  the  plcasantiuiHS  and  prosperity  of  liis  life. 
Hid  children,  laborers  and  siTvaiits  submitted  to  them  with  cheerfuhiess, 
and  his  house  become  the  seat  of  absolute  industry,  jieace  and  good  order. 
Breakfast  was  on  the  table  jnecisely  at  six,  dinner  at  twelve,  and  supper  at 
six  in  the  evening.  After  supper  he  neither  made  visits  himself,  nor  per- 
mitted any  of  his  family  to  do  so. 

His  observation  of  the  Sabbath  was  peculiarly  exemplary.  He  permitted 
no  act  to  be  done  iu  his  house  on  that  day,  except  such  as  were  acts  of 
mercy  and  necessity  in  the  strict  sense. 

Mr.  Weld  was  naturally  of  a  very  ardent  disposition.  Yet  so  entirely 
had  he  acquired  an  ascendancy  over  his  temper,  that  a  censurable,  ur  im- 
prudent act  is  not  known  to  have  been  done  by  him,  nor  an  improper  word 
uttered.  To  vice  and  licentiousness,  in  every  form,  he  gave  no  indulgence, 
either  in  his  conversation,  or  his  public  instructions.  On  the  contrary, 
idleness,  intem[)erance,  profaneness,  and  all  kinds  of  immoral  conduct  were 
reproved  by  him  with  severity.  His  example  in  the  practice  of  every  vir- 
tue was  such  as  to  create  in  all  classes  entire  veneration  for  his  character. 
It  is  doubted  whether  any  one  ever  uttered  a  reproach  against  him. 

Nor  was  his  piety  less  remarkable.  Since  the  <lays  of  the  Apostles,  it 
is  questioned  whether  his  zeal,  iidelity,  and  intrepidity,  have  been  excelled. 
During  the  long  pi^riod  of  55  years,  he  was  not  once  detained  from  the  pul- 
pit by  disease.  His  prayers  were  wholly  formed  by  himself,  and  adapted 
with  strict  propriety  to  the  varioHS  occasions  on  which  they  were  made. 
His  sermons  were  written,  and  were  usually  delivered  without  variation 
from  his  notes.  Yet  at  times  he  addressed  his  congregation  extemporane- 
ously in  a  maimer  eminently  forcible  and  affecting. 

Mr.  AYeld  continued  his  labors  to  the  Sabbath  before  his  death,  without 
any  visible  decline  of  his  powers  either  of  body  or  mind.  On  the  Tuesday 
following  he  rode  in  his  chaise  to  Providence,  ten  miles ;  returned  about 
four  o'clock  in  the  afternoon ;  walked  into  the  house,  told  his  wife  that  he 
was  unwell,  and  recpiested  her  to  open  a  window,  sat  down  and  instantly 
expired,  of  an  Apoplexy.  So  well  were  his  secular  alfairs  arranged  that 
the  settienu'Ut  of  his  estate  cost  less  then  five  dollars. 

At  the  tleath  of  Mr.  AVeld,  only  one  of  his  congregation  was  living  of 
those  who  assisted  in  his  settlement.  The  house  of  Mr.  Weld  was  the 
resort  of  many  distinguished  persons  from  Boston,  Providence,  and  other 
])arts  of  Xt^w  England  and  in  no  house  were  they  treated  more  hospitably. 
His  manners  were  at  once  dignified  and  polite,  and  every  member  of  his 
family  were  courteous  and  well  bred.  Nothing  was  seen  among  them  but 
harmony  and  good  will. 

That  with  such  an  income  Mr.  Weld  could  support  so  large  a  family, 
and  live  iu  so  hospitable  a  manner,  will  certainly  excite  not  a  little  wonder. 
The  explanation  is  found  iu  his  industry,  regularity,  and  exactness  in  all 
his  concerns.  Everything  was  managed  in  such  a  manner  that  almost  in 
the  literal  sense  nothing  was  lost."

quences, especially  at  this  critical  juncture  that  it  will  pave  tlie  way  for  in- 
troducing the  Ixefugees  into  office,  who  it  is  expected  are  about  to  return 
to  this  State,  &  which  if  permitted  will  in  the  end  involve  us  in  disgrace  & 
ruin — being  fully  persuaded  that  those  men,  of  either  clafs  aforementioned, 
have  been  averse  to  our  constitution  from  mercenary  views,  througli  caprice 
or  mistaken  principles,  will  ever  be  plotting  our  destruction,  &  that  they 
will  ut  hast  oppose  every  measure  which  may  have  a  tendency  to  promote 
the  real  honour  &  welfare  of  these  United  States 

And  we  humbly  conceive  that  the  admifsion  of  those  men  into  publick 
offices,  will  greatly  encoui-age  vice,  &  be  a  great  discouragement  to  those 
who  have  risqucd  their  lives  or  fortunes  in  the  common  cause  from  ever 
engaging  again  for  their  country,  should  their  services  ever  be  recpiired  in

NOTES  AND  QUERIES. 

Notes. 

William,  John  and  Thomas  Cuutis. — I  venture  to  offer  some  sug:p:estion3 
tending  to  sliow  that  AVilliam  Curtis  of  lioxbury,  Thonuis  Curtis  of  Wethers- 
field,  and  John,  husband  of  Elizabeth  Curtis  of  Stratford,  were  probably 
brothers. 

William  Curtis  was  baptized  at  Nazing,  Co.  Essex,  November  12,  15f)2.  He 
came  to  Anierica  in  1(532  with  his  family,  in  the  ship  Lion.  Thomas  of  Wethers- 
field  was  six  years  younger,  having  boon  born  in  15'J8.  It  is  a  generally  accept- 
ed fact  that  the  husband  of  Elizabeth  of  Stratford  was  John.  The  late  Stiles 
II.  Curtis  (N.  E.  Hist,  and  Gen.  Rkgister,  xliii.  3t)2)  identifies  him  with  John 
Curtis,  -who  married  at  Nazing,  April  ID,  IGIO,  Elizabeth  Ilutchiiigs,  and  who 
had  children,  John,  bapt.  Nov.  20,  1014-15,  William,  bapt.  June  21,  1018,  and 
Thomas,  bapt.  March  12,  1019-20.  The  names  and  dates  of  these  live  persons 
conform  to  those  in  the  Stratford  family. 

Among  the  inhabitants  of  Iloxbury  we  find  between  1G38  and  1G43,  John  Cor- 
teis,  owning  land  and  having  five  persons  in  his  family,  Ijut  after  that  date  no 
trace  of  any  of  these  persons  appears.  The  early  settlers  of  New  England 
kept  fairly  comprehensive  and  exact  records  of  their  family  history,  and  it  is 
hardly  possible  that  John  of  Roxbury,  his  wife,  and  all  his  children  should 
have  ilisappeared  Avithout  leaving  some  note  behind,  but  we  find  no  trace  of 
them  unless  at  Stratford. 

Thomas  Cnrtis,  afterward  of  Wethersfleld,  may  have  been  living  at  the  same 
time  in  Roxbury,  but  being  younger,  and  unmarried,  his  name  docs  not  appear ; 
periiaps  he  was  included  in  the  record  witli  some  other  family. 

Among  the  early  settlers  of  Wetherslleld  were  Thomas  Curtis  and  John  Cur- 
tis, both  of  whose  names  api)ear  in  the  land  records,  and  wiiose  residences  are 
indicated  on  the  map  of  that  town  given  in  Memorial  History  of  Hartford 
County,  I.  117.

448  ITotes  and  Queries.  [Oct. 

Stratford  Wfts  settled  in  1G3!3  by  a  colony  from  Wethersflckl,  among  whom 
was  the  widow  Elizabeth  Curtis  and  her  sous,  John,  William  and  Thomas,  the 
last  of  whom  is  known  only  by  the  mention  of  his  name  in  his  mother's  will. 

It  seems  probable  that  John  Curtis  and  Thomas  Curtis  left  Uoxbnry  some 
time  after  the  year  IG.'U,  that  they  went  to  Wetherslleld  and  acquired  land  there, 
that  John  Avas  the  husband  of  Elizabeth,  tliat  he  had  cni^ayed  to  join  the 
expedition  to  Stratford,  and  had  disi)osed  of  his  proi)erty  preparatory  to  re- 
moval, that  he  died  before  the  expedition  started,  but  his  plans  having  been 
carried  so  far  that  they  could  not  well  be  abandoned,  his  widow,  for  herself 
and  her  children  carried  out  the  design  her  husband  had  formed.  Apparently 
the  ties  that  bound  the  family  to  Wethersfield  were  not  wholly  severed,  for  a 
few  years  later,  AVilliam  Curtis,  grandson  of  Elizabeth,  returned  to  that  place 
to  take  as  his  wife  the  widow  of  John  Goodrich. 

When  among  the  early  settlers  of  a  New  England  town  we  find  two  or  more 
persons  bearing  tlie  same  family  name,  ami  alK)ut  the  sanmage,  I  think  it  safe  to 
look  for  souu;  relationship  i)etween  them,  and  in  tiie  present  case  our  search  is 
encouraged  by  the  fact  that  among  these  tlirce  fannlies  we  find  the  names 
'J'honuis,  John  anil  Elizabeth,  in  all,  while  William  and  Joseph  are  also  found 
in  two  of  them.  The  repetition  uf  a  single  name  in  two  families  is  an  unstable 
ground  to  build  upon,  but  the  probability  of  relationship  increases  with  each 
additional  name,  not  in  arithmetical,  but  in  geometrical  progression. 

Dr.  J.  liradl'ord  Dresser,  who  has  given  much  time  to  the  study  of  the  Curtis 
family,  informs  nu;  tliat  his  ancestor,  Henry  Curtis,  of  Windsor,  was  a  brother 
of  'J'lionuis  of  WethersdeUi,  but  i)eyond  the  fact  that  they  lived  in  neighboring 
towns  I  have  found  nothing  to  support  tins  btatcment. 

William,  Thomas  antl  John  Curtis  nuiy  have  come  to  America  in  the  Lion, 
although  we  Und  no  record  of  the  fact,  which  is  not  surprising,  since  of  the 
123  persons  in  that  ship  only  about  thirty  have  been  traced.  Tliomas  and  John 
were  younger  than  William,  and  Thomas  was  unmarried. 

Richard  Curtis  of  Dorchester,  enumerated  by  Savage,  was  of  another  family. 
He  with  his  son  Isaac  returned  about  1079  to  Wallingford,  where  he  died  Sep- 
tember 17,  1C81,  aged  70,  leaving  an  estate  of  £50,  including  money  at  interest 
ia  Dorchester.  His  son  Isaac,  born  January  17,  1C58,  died  July  15,  1712,  mar- 
ried August  13,  1G82,  Sarah  Ford.  His  descendants  were  in  Waterbury,  Earm- 
ington,  Litchtield,  etc. 

The  subjoined  list  of  Curtis  wills  furnished  to  me  by  a  correspondent,  will 
interest  some  who  may  be  disposed  to  search  for  Curtis  families  in  England :

Lieutenant  John  Sicinner. — My  attention  has  been  called  to  several  errors 
in  my  nrlicle  on  Tyieutenant  John  Skinner  in  the  Ui;oisti:k  for  October,  IH'jy, 
whicli  1  shall  be  very  glad  to  correct.  The  date  of  birth  of  v.  Richard  Skiimer 
(Tb()mas■^  Thomas')  should  be  January  2,  l(>75-t!,  and  the  place  of  birth  of  his 
cbildrcu,  from  2  Richard  to  G  Kbcnezer,  inclusive,  should  be  East  Iladdam, 
Conn.  The  second  child  of  viii.  Benjamin  (Thomas-,  Thomas')  should  be 
liaclic.l,  not  liichard,  and  the  sixth  child  Zerviah,  not  Jeremiah.  The  wife  of  3 
Benjamin  (Benjamin',  Thomas',  Thomas')  was  Rebecca  Goot.  Among  the 
children  of  X.  Nathaniel  (Thomas*,  Thomas'),  is  11  Rebecca.  She  Avas  prob- 
ably his  grand-daughter,  the  child  of  his  son  Nathaniel.  The  date  of  birth  of 
10  Zerviah  should  read  June  25,  1730.  xi.  Abigail  (Thomas'^,  Thomas')  mar- 
ried Ebcnezer  Mudge,  January  (not  July)  13,  1708-9.  The  principal  correction, 
however,  is  that  etlecting  Lieutenant  Skinner's  line  of  descent,  and  this,  after 
careful  investigation  and  study,  I  am  satisfied  should  be  made.  Sergeant  Eben- 
ezer  Skinner  (Thomas*,  Thomas')  married  Sarah,  daugliter  of  William'  and 
Sarah  (Shaler)  Lord,  great  grand-daugliter  of  Thomas  Lord  the  first,  of  Hart- 
ford, and  not  Abigail,  daughter  of  William*  and  Lydia  (Brown)  Lord,  as  I  had 
it.  Lydia  Brown  was  the  Avidow,  not  the  daughter,  of  John  Brown,  Jr.  of 
Rehoboth.  Zoetii  Skinner  Eldredge.

Reverend  John  Norton  of  Middletown.— In  my  article  in  the  Register 
for  January,  1899,  the  statement  is  nuide  that  the  children  of  John  Norton,  the 
first,  iv  John,  born  March  24,  1051,  died  January  15,  1G57,  and  that  the  next 
child  was  v  John,  born  October  14,  1057,  who  became  John  Norton,  the  second. 
This  statement  was  questioned,  and  after  a  careful  study  of  both  town  and  church 
records,  I  am  satislled  that  a  mistake  has  been  made,  not  oidy  by  myself,  but 
by  Mr.  Albert  B.  Norton  and  by  Judge  C.  C.  Baldwin,  both  of  whum  have  pub- 
lished this  family  record.  The  Branford  town  records  do  not  give  the  double 
dates  for  tlie  year,  between  January  1  and  ]March  25,  as  was  customary,  and 
the  above  death  recorded  as  of  January  15,  1G57,  occurred  in  1G57-8,  or  as  we 
now  write  the  year,  1G58.  Much  study  has  been  given  to  the  name  of  the  child 
born  October  14,  1057.  It  has  been  pronounced  John,  Joseph  and  Joshua.  I 
am  satislled  it  is  not  John,  and  I  am  further  satisfied  that  tlie  entry  of  January 
15,  1G57-8  records  the  death  of  this  child.  John  Norton,  the  second,  Avas  there- 
fore born  March  24,  1051-2.  Ills  son  Isaac  married  Elizabeth  Galpiu  of  Staf- 
ford, not  Hartford  as  written,  and  the  wife  of  his  son  Thomas  was  Elizabeth

A  Memoir  of  Henry  Jacob  Bigeloxo,  A.M. ,  M.D. ,  LL.D.,  Member  Mass.  Med.  Soc, 

rrofessor  of  Surgery  in  Harvard    University,    etc.     Boston.     Little,  Brown, 

and  Company.     1900.     1  Vol.    8vo.  pp.  297.     Illustrated. 

The  distinguished  and  eminent  subject  of  this  memoir  was  born  in  Boston, 

1818,  son  of  Dr.  Jacob  Bigelow,  the  illustrious  Boston  physician  during  the 

early  years  of  the  present  century.     Both  were  graduated  at'lFarvard,  and  the 

University  of  Pennslyvania;  were   long  Professors   in   the    Harvard    Medical 

School,  and  were  crowned  in  their  maturer  years,  with  the  LL.D.  of  their  alma 

mater,  amid  the  universal  plaudits  and  approval  of  their  fellow  citizens  and 

professional  brethren. 

Though  their  active  lives  were  confined  to  Boston,  their  professional  value  be- 
came household  words  in  New  England,  and  their  lasting  reputations  extended 
to  the  bounds  of  intelligent  mankind.  Great  as  were  the  services  of  Dr.  Jacob 
Bigelow,  it  is  no  disparagement  to  recognize  that  they  were  surpassed  by  the 
brilliant  career  of  his  son.  The  college  of  that  day  was  the  surviving  heir  of 
its  predecessors.  The  wortliy  men  who  filled  the  chairs  were  content  to  ad- 
minister as  they  had  received.  The  spirit  of  the  age  manifested  itself  during 
young  Bigelow's  connection  with  his  college  in  breaches  of  discipline,  and  ul- 
timately attained  tlie  character  of  a  reliellion  against  the  subsistence  depart- 
ment, as  practlsi'd  in  commons.  Though  this  fiagraut  defiance  of  autliority 
occurred  in  Bigelow's  first  year,  the  spirit  appeared  in  intervals  subsecpient; 
till  the  introducliou  of  new  professors  and  the  removal  of  antiquated  evils  iiad 
purified  tiic  college.  Meanwhile,  the  sidjject  of  this  memoir,  as  well  as  the  son 
of  Harvard's  chief  poet  of  that  (hiy,  were  made  examples  of  discipline.  Both, 
in  after  life,  received  the  highest  honors  of  their  college  ;  so  little  did  the  action 
of  the  goveridiig  faculty  of  1830-40  infiuence  the  government  of  1870.  Out  of 
scholastic  restraints  and  free  to  follow  his  own  bent,  young  Bigelow  became 
a  student  in  medicine  under  his  father's  direction.  He  soon  deternnned  to  de- 
vote himself  to  surgery.  He  went  to  Paris  to  complete  his  studies,  where,  and 
at  London  under  Paget,  he  acquired  the  skill  with  the  microscope  which  so  great- 
ly distinguished  him.  Returning  to  Boston,  Dr.  Bigelow  oi)ened  a  hosi)ital  in 
Boston  for  charitable  surgical  operations.  In  this,  and  in  the  Boylston  Medi- 
cal School,  he  became  so  prondnent  that  he  was  api)ointed  a  visiting  surgeon  of 
the  Mnssacliusetts  General  Hospital.  Here  he  entered  upon  tiie  brilliant  career 
of  a  bright  and  almost  boundless  future ;  for  the  discovery  of  aniesthesia  by 
sulphuric  ether  had  just  been  made  public.  Possibly  no  practitioner  conceived 
the  magnitude  of  this  discovery  to  the  extent  of  this  young  Boston  surgeon. 
Soon,  by  his  resolute  daring,  he  became  its  foremost  champion,  and  estaljlished 
the  safety,  certainty  and  completeness  of  its  administration.     In  other  branches

of  surgery,  he  hecame  prominent,  notably  in  the  Improvement  of  surgical  tools. 
Had  Dr.  Bigclow  only  invented  the  autopsy  table  and  the  lithotrite,  he  would 
have  occupied  rank  among  the  great  surgeons  of  America. 

He  was  keen  in  observation,  exact  and  particular  in  reason,  tranquil  and 
steady  in  judgment.  These  qualities  enhanced  his  value  as  a  pathologist,  a 
diagnostician  ami  a  practitioner.  His  researches  resulted  in  many  valuable 
papers,  read  before  medical  societies  or  published  in  medical  journals  ;  of  which 
tliose  on  tliL'  ?ilechanism  of  Dislocation  and  Fracture  of  the  Hip,  and  the  Frac- 
ture of  the  Neck  of  the  Femur,  introduced  orderly  processes  of  manipulation 
where  before  had  been  groping  obscurity.  Dr.  Bigelow's  skill  as  a  microscop- 
1st,  his  triumphant  advocacy  of  ether  as  an  aniesthetic,  and  his  success  in  the  ad- 
ministration of  the  Massachusetts  General  Hospital,  gave  him  reputation  of  the 
highest  order  among  his  contemporaries.  He  was  a  great  professor,  and  has 
passed  into  history  as  one  of  the  great  men  of  Boston. 

The  present  memoir  is  delightfully  written  and  furnishes  entertaining  read- 
ing. It  presents  beside  the  salient  events  of  the  valuable  life,  which  is  its  suij- 
ject,  the  generous  aiul  well  deserved  tributes  of  the  learned  societies  and  the 
press,  both  uu'dieal  and  secular,  at  his  ilucease.

The  career  of  tliis  distinguished  officer,  from  his  birth  in  a  Massachusetts

with  filial  devotion  and  admiration.  Aside  from  the  interest  involved  in  per- 
sonality, these  volumes  possess  large  value  in  the  relation  given  of  important

The  beautiful  typographical  aspect  of  this  periodical  deepens  the  welcome 
which  the  contents  of  its  issues  have  always  elicited.  The  completed  volumes 
with  their  able  papers  illustrating  the  historical,  antiquarian,  genealogical  and 
biographical  objects  of  the  Society  contain  not  only  stores  of  information  most 
precious  to  all  who  revere  a  town  venei-able  not  only  for  its  age  but  for  what 
may  be  called  its  patrician  character,  also  portraits,  pictures  of  historic  build- 
ings and  maps,  ail  finely  executed.  The  present  number  has  for  contents, 
"  Lydia  .Maria  Child,"  by  Anna  I).  Ilallowell,  "  Slavery  in  Medford,"  by  Walter 
11.  Gushing,  "  Dedication  of  Memorial  Tal)let  to  Sarah  Hratllee  Fulton,"  by  Helen 
T.  Wild,  "The  Cutter  Family  in  its  connection  with  a  Tide  Mill  in  Medford," 
by  \Vm.  li.  Cutter,  and  Notes.  They  who  heard  the  pai)er  by  Mrs.  Ilallowell 
•will  be  glad  that  so  impressive  a  memorial  of  one  of  the  noblest  of  women  should 
reach  the  public  in  this  manner.  It  is  sympathetic,  lively,  compact,  and  enjoy- 
able in  every  sense,  such  as  the  recital  of  the  actions  of  a  person  brilliant  and 
versatile  would  naturally  constitute,  especially  when  permeated  by  the  intense 
appreciation  of  the  distinctive  qualities  of  her  subject  wiiich  Mrs.  Ilallowell 
throughout  displays.  The  humorous,  the  pathetic,  the  heroic  elements  of  the 
career  herein  narrated,  are  treated  with  great  sensibility,  forming  a  biography 
which  does  justice  to  one  whose  independence  and  breadth  of  mind  can  be 
recognized  only  by  recalling  the  fact  that  her  grandly-unbiassed  Avork,  "The 
Progress  of  Heligious  Ideas,"  was  written  a  half  a  century  ago,  and,  further- 
more, that  by  her  attitnile  towards  slavery  she  cut  herself  oil' from  the  society 
which  previously  regardeil  it  as  the  highest  lionor  to  lionize  her.  A  portrait  of 
Mrs.  (!l)ild,  it  may  not  be  amiss  to  add,  embellishes  the  number  of  the  quarterly

Lane  &  Scott,  1000.     L.  8vo.  pp.  150. 

As  an  illustration  of  the  possibilities  involved  in  the  sentiment  of  arbitration, 
the  case  of  the  United  Stales  r*'.  the  Alabama  is  of  supreme  importance.  The 
documentary  narrative  here  furnished  us  will,  therefore,  be  of  tleepest  interest 
to  those  who  advocate  as  a  means  of  international  pacillcatiou  the  resort  to  tri- 
bunals rather  than  to  arms.  The  book  consists  largely  of  correspondence, 
speeches,  and  extracts  from  periodicals,  the  actors  in  the  events  related  thus 
telling  their  story  in  their  OAvn  woriis.  The  appendix  contains  the  "  Decision 
and  Award"  of  the  Court  of  Arbitration.  The  student  of  history  and  the  lover 
of  peace  will  both  And  this  volume  contributory  to  their  prolit  and  pleasure.

The  beginning,  progress  and  present  condition  of  Lancaster  are  in  this  vol- 
ume detailed  in  an  unprejudiced  spirit,  it  being  the  purpose  of  the  author  to 
relate  facts,  without  any  animadversion  upon  individuals.  The  biograpliical 
and  genealogical  materials  -which  it  was  originally  designed  to  incorporate  with 
this  work  have  been  necessarily  omitted,— save  as  incidentally  introduced,— as 
they  would  have  enlarged  it  to  inconvenient  proportions.  All  readers  will 
agree,  however,  that  without  tlie  additions  held  in  reserve  for  future  use,  the 
book,  nevertheless,  supplies  a  history  of  the  people  of  the  tOAVu,  their  indus- 
tries, etlucational  and  religions  activities,  politics,  and  reformatory  movements, 
which  for  fuUuess,  veracity  and  animation  is  entitled  to  cordial  commendation. 
Well  bound  and  well  printed,  with  nearly  a  hundred  illustrations,  and  equipped 
with  a  complete  index,  these  annals  of  a  town  unsurpassed  in  grandeur  of 
scenery  and  honorable  in  the  character  and  achievements  of  its  inhabitants  will 
preserve  in  most  serviceable  form  the  inestimable  records  of  its  pioneers.

York:  \).  Appleton  and  Co.,  72  Fifth  Avenue.  I'JOO.  xlx+577. 
The  period  embraced  in  this  volume  of  MeMaster's  great  work  extends  from 
the  seconil  inauguration  of  Monroe  to  that  of  Jackson,  when  the  disgraceful 
scramble  for  cake  and  ices  in  the  White  House  was  followed  by  the  still  more 
shameless  importunities  of  otlice-seekers  at  Gadsby's.  The  "  people,"  Avhose 
President  Jackson  was  considered  to  be,  and  to  Avliose  history  tliis  publication 
is  dedicated,  are  also  exhibited,  happily,  in  quite  other  aspects  than  political, 
such  as  literary,  educational,  philanthropic  and  judicial.  Indeed,  American 
life  in  all  its  interests  is  thoroughly  described  in  these  pages.  It  is  mere  com- 
monplace to  say  that  what  Green  lias  ilone  for  the  English  is  now  being 
accomplished  by  IMcMaster  for  the  peoi)le  of  this  country  ;  therefore  those  who 
desire  to  study  humanity  evolving  under  the  physical  and  governmental  con- 
ditions of  the  United  States  must  make  constant  use  of  the  volumes  of  the 
American  Green.  F.  W.  P.

The  artless  story  of  Capt.  Bartlett  is  very  interesting,  and  is  illustrated  by  a

1000.]  Booh  Notices.  450 

Tho  llrst  volume  of  Iho  Crnno  Oonoalogy,  Issued  (Ivo  years  sluco,  besides  con- 
taining a  aecUou  on  the;  orii^in  of  tho  nanic,  and  coats-of-anns,  gave  nine 
generations  of  the  descendauls  of  Henry  of  AVeLliersdeld,  noted  such  of  the 
family  as  -were  law-makers  and  public  ollleials,  and  tlinse  ^vho  were  on  the  Roll 
of  Honor.  Nearly  one-half  of  the  ^eeond  volume  is  devoted  to  the  posterity  of 
.lasper  and  Stephen  Crane,  abundant  records  having  been  uuexpcctedlv  and 
cordially  supplied  by  their  descendants.  The  other  lineages  are  also  very  full 
the  whole  work  showing  the  great  oxpcuditure  of  time  and  pains  jjestowed  on 
the  euterj)rise.  The  Addenda  consists  of  families  with  position  not  sufflciently 
delhied  to  Avarrant  their  inclusion  in  the  preceding  peiligrees.  The  volumes  are 
well  printed,  bound  in  cloth,  illustrated  with  portraits,  and  fully  indexed. 

A  most  beautiful  example  of  book -making,  the  Setou  book  is  also  a  striking 
monument  of  the  more  tliau  forty  years'  labor  devoted  to  it  by  its  author.  A 
bibliography  precedes  the  Introduction  which  treats  of  the  Norman  Aristocracy. 
Throughout  twenty  chapters,  chai)ters  of  history  which  read  like  those  of 
romance,— the  transatlantic  Setons,  aristocratic,  chivalric,  devout,  are  depicted 
iQ  profuse  and  fascinating  detail,  their  story  naturally  taking  a  tone  of  grand- 
eur from  names  so  auclent  and  so  famous.  The  succeeding  ckaptcrs  deal  with 
the  American  Setons  who,  in  temperament  and  action,  bear  the  ineffaceable 
ancestral  stamp.  The  book  is  eminently  de  luxe  both  as  to  contents,  one  may 
say,  and  api)earauce,  and  its  author  need  not  exculpate  himself  from  the  appre- 
hended accusation  of  pursuing  "  endless  genealogies,"  since  he  can  oiler  as  the 
result  of  the  labors  of  his  leisure  a  work  so  superb  as  this. 

The  AUing-Alleu  History  evinces  the  tireless  industry  of  its  author  in  the  pro- 
duction of  a  genealogy  giving  not  only  the  lineages  with  the  customary  precision 
l)ut  also  about  a  score  of  biographical  sketches,  some  of  several  pages  in  len"-th' 
accom])anied  by  llncly  engraved  portraits.  The  book  is  the  fruit'^of  the  exer- 
tions of  tleclining  years,  and  the  author,  as  well  as  all  of  his  name,  is  to  be 
congratulated  on  his  resolve  to  present  to  the  public,  without  waiting'for  what 
he  would  eousider  complete  records,  the  results  of  his  i)ersistent  and  leu"-th- 
ened  research.  Binding  and  print  are  excellent,  and  indexes  of  the  most  thor- 
ough description  arc  appended. 

The  Pratt  Genealogy  is  based  on  the  work  published  by  Rev.  F.  W.  Chapman 
in  1804,  called  "  The  Pratt  Family."  His  ellbrts  were  conlined  to  the  line  of  Lieut! 
William  I'ratt,  brother  of  the  John  whose  posterity  is  recorded  in  the  present 
volume.  With  a  fidness  eiinalling  that  of  l\lr.  Chai)iiian's  compilation,  this  addi- 
tional I'ratt  publication  with  Its  neat  Itinding,  clear  print,  and  tiioroiigii  in<lex, 
ought  to  fnllll  the  wish  exi)ressed  in  the  Introduction  that  it  may  allbrd  assist- 
ance as  well  as  i)leasure  to  the  members  of  the  various  families  recorded  theri'in. 
Tlie  IJowdoiu  Family  gives  some  of  the  descemlants  of  Pierre  lioudouin,  who 
died  in  Boston,  in  170G,  with  particular  accounts  of  him,  and  of  the  first  and 
third  James  Bowdoin,  including  the  will  in  full  of  Sarah,  wife  of  the  latter 
James.  The  Erving  portion  of  the  pamphlet  consists  of  the  family  of  John 
Erving,  born  in  KWO  in  the  Orkneys.     A  Bibliography  is  addeil. 

The  Sherman  booklet  has  the  posterity  of  Samuel  Sherman  of  Stratford,  Conn. 
Inunlgrant  in  lOW,  as  far  as  the  fifth  generation,  as  also  the  majority  of  his 
ilesceudants  as  far  as  the  eighth  and  ninth  generation.  Though  sligiit  in  appear- 
ance, the  little  book  with  its  tine  print  can  boast  of  substantial  contents. 

The  Parshall  pamphlet  is  described  by  the  author  in  his  "Preliminary  Ego- 
tism "  as  a  tentative  work  designed  as  a  forerunner  of  a  complete  geuealogy^of 
the  family,  if  sutticient  encouragement  is  won  by  his  present  attempt.  It""cou- 
tains  descendants  of  James  Parshall,  the  founder  of  the  oidy  American  family 
of  the  name,  as  far  as  the  sixth  generation.  Israel  Parshall,  whose  date  is  un- 
certain, with  his  posterity  to  the  third  generation,  occupies  a  special  section 
which  is  followed  by  one  entitled  "  Miscellanies,"  consisting  of  letters,  news- 
paper clippings,  etc.  The  print  is  admirably  clear,  and  the  presentation' of  the 
facts  acquired  is  such  that  it  is  to  be  hoped  that  they  may  be  so  increased  by 
the  contributions  of  those  of  the  name  as  to  enable  the  compiler  to  accomplish 
the  purjjose  above  mentioned  Avithout  undue  delay. 

The  Seymour  Family,  giving  the  ancestors  of  Clara  E.  Seymour,  is,  as  before 
stated,  a  reprint  of  thirty-four  pages  of  the  Morris  Genealogy. 

In  the  Report  of  the  Hills  Family  Association  are  found  the  descendants  of 
Joseph  Hills,  suppo.sed  to  have  liveil  in  Newbury,  Mass.,  from  1GG5  to  1GS8.  A 
great  ileal  of  valuable  information  is  imparted  in  this— as  it  may  be  called—

Tho  compiler  of  the  Russell  record  disclaims  any  intention  of  presenting  a 
family  history,  as  his  purpose  is  merely  to  preserve  in  suitable  form  such  in- 
formation as  is  now  easily  acquired.  It  consists  lari^ely  of  the  late  generations, 
of  whom  the  greater  number  were  of  his  own  ac(iuaintance.  This  very  useful 
little  book  is  thoroughly  indexed. 

lu  tbe  New  Hampshire  Lake  Kegion  Inscriptions,  the  Whiteface  Inscriptions 
are  followed  by  genealogical  notes  on  the  Foss  and  McCrillis  families.  In  allu- 
sion to  tlie  heading,  "Further  Memorials  of  Meredith,"  the  compiler  explains 
that  in  1891  he  published  a  pamphlet  entitled,  "  Memorials  of  Meredith,  N.  11." 
A  pleasant  account  of  a  visit  to  the  Whiteface  intervale  prefaces  the  first 
division  of  the  Inscriptions.     The  press-work  is  tine. 

Salter,  repperrell.  Frost,  Colton  and  Til)bits  are  the  names  in  the  Salter  book 
under  which  are  arranged  genealogical  tables  of  greater  or  less  length,  together 
with  sketches  of  i)rominent  persons  in  the  families  mentioned.  The  book  is 
lively,  abounds  in  facts,  and  has  touches  of  humor.     The  portraits  are  very  flne. 

The  IJoston  Public  Library  genealogical  list  is  intended  as  a  guide  to  those 
pursuing  gouculogical  research,  but  is  in  no  respect  a  bibliography.  It  is  for 
use  at  tlie  Central  Library,  and  should  be  considered  as  introductory  to  a  fuller 
work  of  the  kind  in  the  future.

N[W-EflG[IID  HISTORIC  GEIMLOGICAL  SOCI[R 

COMPLETE  INDEX  TO  THE  REGISTER. 

Within  two  years  from  tlio  date  of  its  incorporation  in  1845  tiie  New-England  Historic 
G(!nealoiiical  Society  l)euiui  llie  |)ul)lieation  of  its  (niartcrly  journal,  tlie  NEW-ENGLAND 
TIISTOIUCAL  AND  GENEALOGIGAL  llEGISTER,  and  this  publication  no  happily 
bofiun  lias  contiinied  Avitlioiit  interruption  to  the  present  day. 

The  Ukgistku,  under  tlie  inanagenient  of  a  succession  of  aljle  and  learned  editors,  has 
now  become  a  vast  storehouse  of  historical  and  ^genealogical  material,  much  of  it  to  be 
found  nowhere  else^ — an  inexhaustil)le  mine  of  information  concerning  the  early  settlers 
of  New  England,  their  families  and  their  descendants.  No  town  or  family  iiistury  can 
properly  be  written  without  a  search  of  the  contents  of  the  long  series  of  volumes  into 
which  the  Ukgistick  has  now  expanded. 

But  the  very  success  of  the  Society  in  accumnlating  such  an  abundance  of  material 
renders  it  increasingly  dillicult  to  llnd  anything  hidden  in  so  great  a  mass.  An  Index  is 
imperatively  necessary. 

Yet  for  more  than  forty  years  no  attempt  was  made  to  provide  the  IIkgister  with  an 
Index  of  Places,  nor  during  that  period  is  there  any  Index  of  Persons  in  the  proper 
acceptation  of  the  term.  Tliere  is  merely  a  list  of  surnames,  and  a  very  inadequate  and 
imperfect  Index  of  Subjects. 

Indeed  it  is  only  within  the  last  seven  years  that  the  searcher  who  has  had  occasion  to 
consult  the  Hkuistku  has  found  anything  whicli  deserves  to  be  called  an  index  to  guide 
him  through  the  labyrinth  of  its  contents.  The  volumes  published  during  tliat  period 
are  each  provided  with  a  full  index  of  places  and  persons,  the  latter  arranged  accord- 
ing to  Christian  as  well  as  surnames.  The  adoption  of  this  improved  method  can  fairly 
be  said  to  have  doubled  tlie  value  of  the  Ukgistku  to  the  investigator.  And  it  is  important 
that  this  system  should  be  extended  to  include  all  the  other  volumes  of  the  Ukgistku. 

Few  people  are  aware  that  in  a  single  volume  of  the  Ukgistku  there  are  mentioned 
"  more  than  3,000  places,  4,000  family  names,  and  12,000  individuals.  These  figures,  large 
as  they  are,  are  below  the  average  of  the  later  years,  and  the  20,000  pages  of  printed 
matter  already  published  contain,  it  is  estimated,  more  than  000,000  names  of  persons. 

Tlie  Society  has  now  completed  the  puljlication  of  the  50th  volume  of  tlie  Uegistkr, 
and  it  is  desirous  of  printing  a  consolithited  inilex  to  the  ^^hole  fifty  vc^lumes;  an  index 
comprising  suljjects,  places  and  i)ersoiis,  the  latter  arranged  by  Christian  as  well  as 
surnames.     But  it  is  wilhout  funds  availaljle  for  the  purpose. 

The  preparation  of  such  an  index  will  re(iuire,  it  is  estimated,  about  $3,000.  This  is 
exclusive  of  the  cost  of  printing.  But  the  committee  arc  conlldent  tliat  if  thti  first  cost 
— that  of  compilation — can  be  met,  means  can  be  found  to  defray  the  expense  of  print- 
ing. If  one  thinl  of  tiie  estimated  sum  can  be  promptly  raised,  tlie  committee,  with 
this  in  hand,  will  feel  justified  in  entering  upon  the  Avorli. 

Ten  sul)scripUons  of  §100  each  will  produce  this  sum.  Yet  no  contribution,  however 
small,  will  be  declined,  but  will  be  gratefully  received. 

Many  of  the  volumes  of  the  Ukgistku  are  out  of  print  and  are  very  scarce.  A  com- 
plete set  can  witli  dilllculty  be  obtained.  Occasionally,  on  the  sale  of  some  collection, 
one  linds  its  way,  but  rarely,  to  the  market.     Its  value  is  aixiut  ;if250. 

To  those  Avho  are  fortunate  enough  to  own  a  full  set  of  the  Uegistkr  tlie  proposed 
index  will  be  invalual)le;  while  those  persons,  societies  or  libraries  having  an  imperfect 
set  which  tliey  have  found  it  impossible  heretofore  to  complete,  will  lind  such  an  index 
well  nigh  indispeusable. 

The  Society  conlidently  appeals  to  that  public  spirit  which  is  never  called  npon  in 
vain,  and  it  hopes  lliat  all  persona  of  New  Eiighuul  descent,  in  every  part  of  the  coun- 
try, will  c(Mitribute  aeci)nruig  to  their  means  to  uiid;e  available  for  the  llrst  time  this 
vast  collection  of  lustoileal  and  genealogical  material  accumulated  by  the  labors  of  two 
generations  of  self-sacrillcing  antitpiaries. 

Upon  the  response  to  this  appeal  depends  the  fate  of  this  great  work. 

Communications  may  be  addressed  and  contributions  sent  to  Joii?r  Ward  Dean, 
Editor  of  tlie  Ukgistku,  at  tlie  Society's  House,  No.  18  Somerset  Street,  Boston,  Mass.

NEW-ENGLAND  HISTORIC  GENEALOGICAL  SOCIETY. 

COMPLETE  INDEX  TO  THE  REGISTER. 


TnB  Committee  charged  with  the  preparation  of  the  new  full  and  con- 
solidated Index  to  the  first  fifty  volumes  of  the  Ninv-ENOLAND  Historical 
AND  (irKNKALooiOAL  KEOiSTKJi  take  tliis  opportunity  to  report  the  progress 
already  made  on  this  important  work. 

The  i)reparation  of  such  an  index  of  persons  and  places  naturally 
divides  itself  into  three  distinct  stages  :  — 

1.  Tiie  transfer  from  the  [)agds  of  the  Kegister  to  slips  or  cards  of  the     ,^ 

names  of  each  person  and  place  to   he  found  in   the  wiiole  fifty   ^'■' 
vohunes. 

2.  The  chissitication  and  arrangement  of  these  slips  and  the  preparation 

of  them  for  the  printer. 

3.  The  printing.  _  ^ 
A  similar  process  in  regard  to  suhjects  must  he  followed.  '  '  .'  ' '•  '- 
Tin;  (,'(»nuuitti'(!  take  great  pleasure  in  aiuiounciug  the  completion  of  the 

first  stage  of  tiiis  work. 

All  the  names  of  persons  and  places  in  these  volumes  of  the  Register 
are  now  copied  on  slips.  When  it  is  considered  that  there  are  850,000  of 
these  slips,  the  stupendous  character  of  the  undertaking  hegins  to  be 
realized. 

The  funds  already  so  generously  subscribed  have  been  found  amply 
sufficient  to  meet  the  cost  of  the  work  thus  far,  but  to  classify  and  arrange 
this  enormous  mass  of  material,  to  put  it  in  a  shape  in  vvhicii  it  can  be 
consulted  and  to  prepare  it  for  the  printer,  more  money  is  required. 

Tiie  Conunittee  refer  to  their  first  a})[)eal,  herewith  rej)rinted,  and  earnest-  .  '^ 
ly  ho[)e  that  it  may  be  carefully  read.  Jt  sets  forth  the  need  and  importance  ''-f 
of  tlie  work  and  recpiires  no  further  connnent. 

This  auuouacemcnt  is  made  for  the  double  purpose  of  givir  .,  information, 
to  those  persons  ami  Societies  who  iiave  aheady  subscril)ed,  of  the  progress  ". 
and  present  state  of  tiiis  undertaking,  and  of  affording  to  those  who  have 
not  yet  done  so  an  oj)portunity  to  send  in  their  subscriptions  as  soon  as 
possible  in  order  tliat  there  may  be  no  delay  or  halt  in  the  further  prosecu- 
tion of  the  work.  .■  ,/ 

The  rapidity  with  which  it  can  be  pushed  depends  solely  upon  the  amountl*?^| 
of  the  funds  at  the  disposal  of  the  Conmiittee.  ,Cf*^.. 

If  all  kindred  Societies  and  J^iibraries  and  all  persons  of  New  England   |'* 
descent,  iti  every  part  of  the  country,   who  are  interested  in  genealogical  '.''tl 
and  historical  researches,  would  promptly  respond  to  this  ap{)eal,  according 
to  their  means,  we  should  speedily  see  the  com[)leti()u  of  this  long  needed 
and  indis[K;nsable  work.  ^;^: 

Couununitations  may  be  addressed  and  contributions  sent,  as  heretofore,    '

CGI^PLETE  INDEK  TO  TliE  REGiSTER, 

"Within  two  years  froiu  Um  ilati;  of  its  incorponiliiui  in  J.SIG  tin;  Xcw-EiiuIuihI  Historic 
Griu'aliiuiciil  Socii'l  V  hciiaii  tlie  pnhlicalioii  of  its  quarterly  journal,  tin;  NICW'-ENOIjANI) 
lIlSTolilCAL  ANi)  (iKNHALOOlCAL  ItHdlS'lTCli,  and  this  publicaliou  so  happily 
begun  has  continued  Avithout  interruption  to  the  i)reseiit  day. 

Tlie  lliccusTiou,  iiuder  the  uuiuau'euient  of  a  suceessiou  of  ul)lc  and  learned  editors,  has 
uow  heeonie  a  vast  storehouse  of  historical  and  .neuealoiiical  material,  nnich  of  it  t(j  be 
found  nouherc  else — an  inexhaustible  uiino  of  information  coneerninu-  Mie  i^arly  settlers 
of  ISew  Kn;;-land,  their  families  and  their  (k'scendants.  No  town  uv  family  iii.^tory  can 
prui)erly  be  Avritteu  without  a  seandi  of  ilie  eontenLs  of  the  long  series  of  volumes  into 
■which  the  liixnsrr.u  has  n>)w  expanded. 

But  the  very  success  of  the  Society  in  accumulating  such  an  al)undance  of  material 
rendei's  it  increasingly  dillicult  tu  lind  anytidng  hiiUieii  in  so  great  a  mass.  An  Index  is 
imperatively  nece-;-^ary. 

Yet  for  more  than  forty  years  no  attempt  "was  made  to  [iroviile  the  UiodisrHU  Avith  an 
Intlex  of  I'laces,  nor  during  that  period  is  there  any  hulex  of  Tersous  in  the  i>j-oper 
acceptation  of  tlie  term.  Tliere  is  merely  a  list  of  surnames,  and  a  very  inadequate  and 
imperfect  Index  of  Sidijects. 

Indeed  it  is  only  within  I  he  last  seven  years  that  the  searcher  who  has  had  occasion  to 
consult  till'  l!i;(!isri':K  has  found  anything  ^\hieh  deserv'es  to  be  I'alletl  an  inih'X  to  guide 
him  through  tin:  laljyrintii  of  ils  <'ontents.  'i'he  volumes  imblislied  durinu'  that,  period 
are  eacii  |)ro\  ided  with  a  full  imle\  of  places  and  pi'rsons,  the  lal  li'r  ai'rani;ed  acconl- 
ing  to  (.Christian  as  well  as  surnames.  'I'he  adoiitiou  of  this  improved  nielhod  eau  fairly 
be  said  to  ha  \e  doubled  tiie  \'alue  of  tlie  KiHiisri'.i;  to  the  iii\'e.-.li,uator.  .And  it  is  ini|)ortant 
that  this  system  should  be  exLeutled  lo  include  ail  the  other  vohimi;s  of  tin;  Ui'XJisTKit. 

Few  peoi^le  are  a\vart'  that  in  a  single  volmne  of  the  iii:(;isii:i;  there  are  mentioncil 
more  than  3,(i()t)  places,  1,000  family  names,  and  lL*,0(JO  individuals.  These  ligures,  h'.rge 
as  they  are,  are  below  the  average'  of  the  Inter  years,  and  the  2U,()00  pages  of  printed 
matter  already  published  contain,  it  is  estimated,  more  than  OuO.OOO  names  of  persons. 

The  Society  has  now  completed  the  publication  of  the  50th  volume  of  the  Kkgistick, 
and  it  is  desirous  of  printing  a  consolichiteii  index  to  the  whole  lifty  volunn.'s;  an  index 
comprising  subjects,  places  and  persons,  the  latter  arranged  by  Christian  as  well  a.s 
surnames.     ]5ut  it  is  \\  itliout  funils  asailable  for  the  pin-pose. 

The  preparation  of  such  an  index  will  require,  it  is  estimaled,  about  ."i^.'i.OoO.  This  is 
exclusive  of  the  cost  of  printing.  J5ut  the  committee  are  conlideiit  that  if  the  lirst  cost 
— that  of  compilation — can  be  met,  means  can  be  found  to  defray  the  expense  of  print- 
ing. If  one  thii'd  of  the  eslimaled  sum  can  be  pronqitly  ratted,  the  committee,  with 
this  in  hand,  ^\  ill  feel  justilied  in  entering  upon  the  A\ork. 

Ten  subscriiHioiis  of  .-JlOo  each  a\  ill  [jroduce  this  sum.  Yet  no  contrii)ulion,  h<jwever 
small,  will  be  declined,  but  will  be  gratefully  received. 

Many  of  the  \()lumes  of  the  IJiuusiiou  are  out  of  print  and  are  very  scarce.  A  com- 
plete set  can  witli  diHiculty  be  oi)taiiu'd.  ( iceasionally,  on  the  sale  of  some  collection, 
one  linds  its  \vay,  but  rarely,  to  the'  market.     Its  \alue  is  alionl  .'sl'jO. 

To  those  who  art^  fortunate  enough  to  own  a  full  set  of  tin:  Ki'.cisi'icii  the  pro[)os(.'d 
inde.x  \\]\[  !)(■  imalnable;  while  llio,-.e  |)i/rsons,  societies  or  librai'ies  haxiii'-ian  iinperfi'ct 
Set  ^vhich  tlii:y  have  found  it  im|)ossihle  heretofore  to  conqilete,  will  lind  ,^neh  an  inilex 
■well  nigh  indispensable. 

The  Soeiely  eonlldeiilly  appeals  to  thai  public  spirit  \\  ITu-h  is  never  called  upon  in 
vain,  and  If  liojie-,  that  ail  persons  of  Ni'w  thiuland  descent,  in  e\ery  pari  of  the  coun- 
try, will  conliibiili' according  lo  Iheir  means  lo  maLe  available  fiU'  the  llrsL  lime  this 
vast  collection  of  histori(.'al  and  genealogical  maU'rial  accumulated  by  the  lai)ors  of  two 
generations  of  self-sacrillcing  anti(iuaries. 

Upon  tlic  response  to  this  appeal  depends  the  fate  of  this  grt:at  work.

constantly  inci'casing  value — great  pains  having  been  taken  to  make  the 
memoirs  complete  and  accurate. 

The  books  make  .  excellent  presents,  especially  from  members  of  the 
Society  to  their  friends.     Only  a  small  edition  of  this  volume  is  printed..

COMPLETE  INDEX  TO  THE  REGISTER.  ^^^^ 

~ :  . |i- 

TiiK  Conunittee  charo-eil  with  the  i)rcpii ration  of  the  new  full  and  c^r,'|S 
solichited  Index  to  tlie  finst  fifty  vohiines  of  tlie  Nkw-Enoland  I Iistoriqa^'-^| 
AND  (Jenkalogjcai.  KiHiiS'iKR  take  tliis  opportunity  to  report  the  progress ^^1^;; 
ah'eady  made  on  tiiis  inij)ortaijt  work.  *M^ 

Th(!  preparation  of  such  an  index  of  persons  and  places  naturally ^|^:«| 
divides  itself  into  three  (hstinct  stages  :  —  w^'^ 

1.  The  transfer  from  the  pages  of  the  Registkr  to  slips  or  cards  of  the  1*^ 

names  of  eaeh  person  and  plaee  to   be  found  in   the  whole  fifty  ^'^l 
volumes.  'j-.^^' 

2.  The  clas.silieation  and  arrangement  of  these  slips  and  the  preparation  IM 

of  them  for  the  printer.  'i'Vlf 

3.  The  printing.  ,-'; 
A  similar  process  in  regard  to  subjects  must  be  followed.  ,  ;; 
The  Oonnnittee  take  great  pleasure  in  announcing-  the  completion  of  the  ■  ;^l 

first  stage  of  this  work.  ,  ''v| 

All  the  names  of  persons  and  places  in  these  volumes  of  the  IvEGiSTER 
are  now  copied  on  slips.     When  it  is  considered  that  there  are  850,000  6f^  ''-I 
these   slips,   the   stupendous    character  of  the  undertaking   begins   to   be    ;^ 
realized. 

Tlu!  funds  already  so  generously   subscribed   have   been   found   amply 
suHicicnt  to  meet  the  cost  of  the  work  thus  far,  but  to  classify  and  arrange 
tins  enormous  mass  ot  material,  tc;  put  it  in  u  shape  in  which  it  can  be^^^v 
consulted  and  to  prepare  it  for  the  printer,  more  money  is  retpiired.   '  %'^; 

The  (\>mmittee  refer  to  their  first  ap[)cal,  herewith  re])rintcd,  aiuhiarnest-    v|;^' 
ly  hope  (ha(  it  may  be  carefully  vr,:u\.      It  sets  forth  the  need  and  importance  ^^ 
of  (he  work  and  requires  no  further  connnent.  .    ^ 

This  annoimcement  is  made  for  the  double  puri)0se  of  ^ving  information, 
to  tln;se  persons  a!id  Societies  who  have  already  subscribed,  of  the  progress  ,  ' 
and  jM-esent  (state  of  this  undertaking,  and  of  atlording  to  those  who  have 
not  yet  done  so  an  opiiortunity  to  send  in   tluiir  sid)scri[)tions  as  soon  as  y,&- 
possible  in  order  that  there  may  be  no  delay  or  halt  in  the  further  prosecu-  ^;v:;- 
tion  of  the  work.  :./ 

The  rapidity  with  which  it  can  be  pushed  de{)ends  solely  upon  the  amount 
of  the  funds  at  the  diapowal  of  the  Committee. 

If  all  kindred  Societies  and  Lii)rarii's  aud  all  persons  of  New  England    .^-fj)- 
dcHceiil,  in  (;\'ery  [»art  of  the  country,    who  are   interested   in  genealogical    '!r^' 
and  hi.storical  researchcis,  would  pi'om[)tly  res[)ond  to  this  appeal,  aeccjrduig 
to  their  means,  we  should  speitdily  see  the  com{)letion  of  this  long"  needed 
and  indis])ensable  work.

N[W-ENGLANO  HISTORIC  GENEMICllL.SOCIETl 

COMPLETE  INDEX  TO  THE  REGISTER. 

Within  two  years  fioiii  the  thite  of  its  iiicorporalioii  in  18l;">  llie  Xe\v-l%ns;latul  Historic 
Geiiealoirioal  SocieLy  beiran  tlie  |itil)lieati<)n  of  its  (inarterly  journal,  Uie  NKW-ENGLANl) 
HIS'roUICAL  AND  G HNlCALt XilCAL  UE(ilSTF>l{,  and  tliis  puljlicatiou  so  happily 
bffiini  lias  contiiUR'd  Avitliout  inlerrnplioii  to  the  present  clay. 

The  liKGisricu,  under  the  niauagenient  of  a  succession  of  able  and  learned  editors,  lias 
now  become  a  vast  storehouse  of  historical  and  j^eiiealoiiical  material,  mucli'of  it  to  be 
found  nowhere  else — an  inexhaustible  luineof  information  concerniuf;  the  early  settlers 
of  New  Eniiland,  their  families  and  their  descendants.  No  town  or  family  history  can 
properly  be  written  ^vitllout  a  search  of  the  contents  of  the  long  series  of  volumes  into 
which  the  Ukuistku  has  now  exjianded. 

But  the  very  success  of  the  Society  in  accuinnlatin!>;  such  an  abundance  of  material 
renders  it  increasingly  ditlicult  to  tind  anything  hidden  in  so  great  amass.  An  Index  Is 
imperatively  necessary. 

Yet  for  more  than  forty  years  no  attempt  Avas  made  to  provide  the  Rkqisteu  with  an 
Index  of  I'laces,  nor  during  that  period  is  there  any  Index  of  Persons  in  the  i)roper 
acceptation  of  the  term.  There  is  merely  a  li^t  of  surnames,  ami  a  very  inadequate  ami 
imperfect  Index  of  Subjects. 

Indeed  it  is  only  within  the  last  seven  years  that  the  searcher  who  has  had  occasion  to 
consult  the  HK<;isri:i:  has  found  anything  which  tieserv(;s  to  be  called  an  index  to  guitle 
him  through  the  labyrinth  of  its  contents.  The  volumes  published  during  that  i)eriod 
are  each  proviiled  with  a  full  index  of  places  and  persons,  tin;  latter  arranged  accord- 
ing to  Christian  as  well  as  surnames.  The  adoi)tion  of  this  imjiroved  method  can  fairly 
l)e  said  to  have  (U)nbled  the  value  of  the  lvi;(;isi'i;i{  to  tin;  investigator.  And  It  is  important 
that  this  system  should  be  extended  to  include  all  the  other  volumes  of  the  liixiisri;i{. 

Few  people  are  a\vare  that  in  a  single  volume  of  the  Ki',(;isri:K  there  aie  mentioned 
more  than  ;i,UO()  phu'cs,  4,0(>it  family  names,  and  12,()O0  intlividnals.  These  llgiires,  large 
as  they  are,  are  Inflow  the  averagt;  of  the  later  years,  and  the  20,000  [lages  of  printed 
imitler  already  pul)iished  contsiin,  it  is  estimated,  more  than  (100,000  names  of  persons. 

The  Society  has  now  completed  the  pulilleat ion  of  the  .OOth  volume  «)f  the  Ukui.-^tkh, 
and  It  is  clesiroii-i  of  piinting  a  consolidateil  index  to  lln;  whoh-  llfty  volumi-s;  an  inde.t 
comprising  sniijecis,  jihu-es  and  persons,  the  latter  arranged  by  Christian  as  well  as 
surnames.     l?ut  it  is  without  funds  availai)le  for  tiu;  (lurpose. 

The  preparat-iiMi  of  such  an  index  will  re(piire,  it  is  estimated,  about  $;>,OoO.  This  is 
exclusive  of  the  cost  of  printing.  But  the  committee  are  conlldent  that  if  the  llrst  cost 
— that  of  compilation — can  i)e  met,  means  can  be  found  to  defray  the  expense  of  print- 
ing. If  one  third  of  the  estimated  sum  can  be  promptly  raised,  the  committee,  with 
this  in  hand,  will  feel  iustitied  in  I'utering  upon  the  \sork. 

Tell  subscriptions  of  ?j!lOOeach  will  produce  this  sum.  Vet  no  contribution,  however 
small,  will  be  decliiu'd,  but  will  be  gratefully  received. 

Many  of  the  volumes  of  the  UiuiisrKK  are  out  of  print  and  are  very  scarce.  A  com- 
plete set  can  with  dilliculty  l)e  obtained.  Occasionally,  on  the  sale  of  some  collection, 
one  linds  its  way,  but  rarely,  to  the  market.     Us  value  is  about  ^'2'>0. 

To  those  Avho  are  fortunate  enough  to  own  a  full  set  of  the  Uiuji.stkk  the  proposed 
index  will  be  invaluable;  while  those  persons,  societies  or  libraries  having  an  im[)erfoct 
set  w  liieh  they  have  fcnind  it  inii)osslble  heretofore  to  complete,  will  liiid  such  an  index 
well  nigh  indispensable. 

The  Society  contideiitly  aj)peals  to  that  public  spirit  which  is  never  called  upon  in 
vain,  and  it  hopes  that  all  persons  of  New  England  descent,  in  every  part  of  the  coun- 
try, will  contribute  according  to  their  means  to  make  available  for  the  Hrst  time  this 
vast  collei-tion  of  historical  and  genealogical  material  accumulated  by  the  labors  of  two 
geiu'rations  of  self-sacrillcing  anli([naries. 

Upon  the  response  to  this  appeal  depends  the  fate  of  this  great  work. 

.Communications  may  be  addressed  and  contributions  sent  to  John  Wakd  Dean, 
Eilitor  of  the  Ui;uisri;it,  at  the  Society's  House,  No.  18  Somerset  Street,  Boston,  Mass.

COMPLETE  INDEX  TO  THE  REGISTER. 


■1  rA 


The  Committee  cliarged  Avith  the  preparation  of  the  new  fiill  and  coirf'i 
eohdatecl  Index  to  the  fir.t  fifty  vohimes  of  the  New-England  HiSTomcAL'|f 
AND  (tEnealogical  Kegistek  take  tlii8  opportunity  to  report  tlie  pro-ressll 
aheady  made  on  this  important  work.  °        ;*^- 

The  preparation  of  such  an  index  of  persons  and  places  naturally  Si^: 
divides  itselt  into  three  distinct  staj^es  : ■|^t 

1.  Tiie  transfer  from  the  pa<res  of  tiie  Kegisteu  to  slips  or  cards  of  the® 

names  of  each  person  ami  place  to   I.e   found  in   tiie  whole  fifW  '''A 
volumes.  .  Ji- 

2.  The  classiJication  and  arrangement  of  these  slips  and  the  preparation ,  !| 

of  them  for  the  printer.  ;'5' 

3.  The  printiiifr.  *'< 
A  similar  i)roces8  in  regard  to  subjects  must  he  followed.  ''^^ 
Ihe  Committee  take  great  pleasure  in  announcing  the  completion  of  the 

first  stage  of   this  work.  ^  ■.^,, 

All  the  names  of  persons  and  places  in  these  volumes  of  the  IIegister^' 
are  now  copied  on  slips.  Wlun  it  is  considered  that  there  are  850,000  of  ¥ 
ti.ese  slips,  tl.e  stupendous  character  of  the  undertaking  begins  to  be^'*^l 
realized.  o       o  ^  i.^l 

The  f\inds  already  so   generously   subscribed    have   been   found   amply'S 
eufhc.ent  to  meet  the  cost  of  the  work  thus  fUr,  but  to  classify  and  arrano^   '^^ 
tins  enormous  mass  of  material,  to  put  it  in  a  shape  in  which  it  can  be   . 
consulted  and  to  i)rei)are  it  for  the  printer,  more  money  is  required.  - 

ihe  C  omm.ttee  refer  to  their  first  appeal,  herewith  reprinted,  and  earnest- 
ly hope  that  It  n.ay  be  carctlilly  read.      It  sets  forth  the  need  and  importance^ 
ot  tlic  work  and  re(juircs,no  f\u-ther  comment.  . X' |f 

This  announcement  is  made  fbr  the  double  purpose  of  giving  information,:  '1 
to  hose  persons  and  Societies  who  have  ahvady  subscribed,  of  the  pr.igresa  '  4 
and  pix-sent  state  of  this  undertaking,  and  of  affording  to  those  who  have-'^f 
not  yet  done  so  an  opportunity  to  send  in  their  subscriptions  as  soon  as  '  S 
possiide  in  order  that  there  may  be  no  delay  or  halt  in  the  further  prosecu- Kit 
tion  of  the  work.  ^  i.!^t<  . 

^riie  rapidity  with  which  it  can  be  pushed  depends  solely  upon  the  amount^fil 
of  the  funds  at  the  disposal  of  the  Committee.  %' 

If  all  kmdrcd  Societies  and  Libraries  and  all  persons  of  New  En-land '¥] 
descent    m  every  part  of  the  country,   who  are  interested  in  genealogical     ll 
and  historical  researches,  would  promptly  respond  to  this  apped,  accordiuL' 
to    heir  means    we  should  speedily  see  the  completion  of  this  long  needed  ,S 
ana  indispensable  work.  4^5'*'

NEW-ENGLAND  HISTORIC  GENEALOGICAL  SOCIETY. 

COMPLETE  INDEX  TO  THE  REGISTER. 


Ttik  Coiuinittec  charr^cd  with  the  preparation  of  the  new  full  and  con- 
solidated Judex  to  the  lir,-<t  fifty  voluuics  of  the  Xi'-w-Ivngland  II[stouical 
AND  ()i:NKAi.()(!iCAr.  l\K(j]sTi:u  take  tliis  o[)portuuity  to  re})ort  tiie  progress 
already  luade  on  this  important  work. 

The  |)i-c'[)aratii)n  of  such  an  index  of  persons^  and  places  naturally 
divides  itsel''  into  three  distinct  stages  :  — 

1.  The  transfer  iroui  the  pages  of  the  Register  to  slips  or  cards  of  the 

raines  of  each  person   and  phu-e  to   he   found   in   the   whole  fifty 
volumes. 

2.  The  classihcation  and  arrangement  of  these  slips  and  the  preparation 

of  them  tor  tlie  prlutei-. 

8.   The  [)rinting. 

A  similar  process  in  regard  to  suhjects  nuist  he  followed. 

The  Committee  take  great  [)leasure  in  announcing  the  coni[)letion  of  the 
first  stage  of  this  work. 

Ail  the  names  of  persons  and  places  in  these  volumes  of  the  Eegister 
are  now  co[)ied  on  slips.  AV^ien  it  is  considered  that  there  are  H5(),0()0  of 
these  slips,  the  stupendous  character  of  the  undertaking  begins  to  be 
lealized. 

'I'he  funds  already  so  generously  subscribed  have  been  found  amply 
Huflicirnt  to  meet  the  cost  of  the  work  thus  far,  but  to  classify  and  arrange 
this  enormous  mass  of  matciiial,  to  put  it  in  a  shape  in  which  it  can  be 
consulted  and  to  prepare  it  for  the  printer,  more  money  is  recpiired. 

The  Conunittee  refer  to  their  iirst  a[)peal,  herewith  reprinted,  and  earnest- 
ly ho|>e  that  it  may  be  caicfully  read.  It  sets  tbrth  the  need  and  importance 
of  tlie  work  and  rcipiires  no  further  eouunent. 

This  anuotmcenu'nt  is  mad(i  for  the  double  purpose  of  giving  information, 
to  those  persons  and  Societies  who  Inne  already  sidisci'ibcd,  of  the  [)rogrL'ss 
and  present  state  of  this  undertaking,  and  of  afhjrding  to  those  who  have 
not  yet  done  so  an  opportunity  to  send  in  their  subscri[)tit)ns  as  soon  as 
possible  in  order  that  there  may  be  no  delay  or  halt  in  the  further  [)rosecu- 
tion  of  the  ^\()rk. 

The  rapidity  with  which  it  can  be  pushed  depends  solely  u[)on  the  amount 
of  the  funds  at  the  disposal  of  the  ('Onunittee. 

Jf  all  kindntd  Societies  and  Libraries  and  all  persons  of  New  England 
descent,  in  every  part  of  the  counl:ry,  who  arc;  interested  in  genealogical 
and  historical  researches,  would  promptly  respond  to  this  ap[»eal,  according 
to  their  means,  we  should  s|)eedily  see  the  completion  of  this  long  needed 
and  indis[»(Uisable  work. 

Conununications  may  be  addressed  and  contributions  sent,  as  heretofore, 
to  John  Wai;i^  Dean,  Editor  of  the  Kegisteu,  at  the  Society's  House, 
No.   18  Somerset  Street,  Boston,   ^fass.
