FOREWORD
"Tell ye your children of it, and let your children tell their
children, and their children another generation." — Joel i., 3.
In attempting to trace the ancient history of his family the
compiler is early confronted with the necessity for sifting facts
from tradition, and while many traditions are interesting and fondly
cherished, often plausible, as well as suggestive and helpful in re-
search, yet the evidence of recorded facts is the only safe guide
in order to make such a compilation of much value. As a matter
of fact, however, instances occur in these pages where traditions of
Revolutionary service have been clues suggesting investigation
which led to their verification by the discovery of recorded facts.
The name of Pringle is of great antiquity, and has been his-
torically eminent in Scotland for many centuries.
Alexander appears to have been the great progenitor of the
family, and he is said to have been one of the promoters of the
Fourth Crusade and commanded one of the divisions of the Scot-
tish soldiers engaged in Palestine.
Sir James Pringle was a Knight of great courage and discre-
tion, and enjoyed the friendship] and favor of King Robert the
Bruce; and was one of the Scottish Knights who accompanied the
great Lord Douglas on the celebrated pilgrimage of the heart of
Robert Bruce. In the arms of all those engaged in that celebrated
pilgrimage, a winged heart has been given as a crest, and it ap-
pears on some of the Pringle coats of arms. The escallop shells
also show that a pilgrimage had been made to Jerusalem.
The origin of the Pringles in America is as yet uncertain, al-
though it is known that our progenitor in this country, William
Pringle, of New Haven, Conn., in 1654, was of Scottish nationality.
No attempt has been made to trace his ancestry across the water.
The name of Pringle frequently appears in the Publications of
the Scottish History Society; and in Vol. 50, entitled "Records of
the Baron Court of Stitchill, 1655-1807," — Edinburg, 1905, there
is given the genealogy of Pringles of Stitchill, from the Pringles
of Snailholm, and Hop Pringle of Craiglatch and Newhall — two
generations prior to William Hop Pringle, 1485, from whom the
descent follows.

X Prindle Genealogy.
These Records comprise the minutes of "The firste Court Barron
holden at Stitchell," beginning January 8, l655, "be the Right
worthy Walter Pringle of Greenkow. In the name of and haveing
full power and commission fra the Right worthy Robert Pringle
of Stitchill, Barroun and heretable proprietor of the Lands, Paro-
chin, and Barrony of Stitchill/' and extending to November 21,
1807. This Baron Court was that of the village, barony and parish
of Stitchill in Roxburgshire, three miles north of Kelso on tlie
river Tweed. Walter Pringle of Greenkow was the second son of
Robert the first laird of Stitchill.
The name of Pringle is found with the Kers, Elliotts, Scotts
and others, all ancient and renowned Border names, who were in
full sympathy with the principles of the Covenant, and exerted un-
dying influence on those living upon their estates. The lairds of
Stitchill were Covenanters and the head of the family (in 1732)
originated the secession in the parish from the Church of Scotland.
There was a "Prindle Hill" near Scrooby, in Nottingham, Eng-
land, the birth-place of Rev. John Davenport, the founder of the
New Haven Colony in 1636, and which suggests that some of the
name lived in that vicinity.
Scrooby Manor was near to the borders, both of Lincolnshire
and Yorkshire, though itself in the County of Nottingham. It was
also an ancient possession and occasional residence of the Arch-
bishop of York, and located a little south of Bawtry, a market and
post town situated on the boundary line between Nottinghamshire
and Yorkshire.
Northumberland is still the home of Pringle families, as also
the southeastern counties of Scotland, just over the border from
Northumberland, where the Pringles of Yair and Whytbank were
neighbors and distant kinsfolk of Sir Walter Scott. There are
many graves of Pringles in Melrose Abbey and church-yard, with
quaint inscriptions and tablets bearing dates from February 28,
1585, to January 13, 1899, the oldest of which is on an effigy lying
on the floor of No. 5 chapel, and reads as follows:
Heir Leis ane Honourabil Man Andro Pringil
Feuar of Galloschiels Quha Decesit ye 28 OF
Februare An. Dom. 1585.
The word Feuar is very common over all parts of Scotland and
elsewhere, and means a person having a long lease of a piece of

ground from another superior at a nominal rent. These leases vary
from 99 years up to say 200 and 300 years, and many houses are
built all over the country on ground taken in such a way. There
are also old inscriptions of several Alexander Pringles, this name
having been transmitted through several generations; and two or
three of John Pringle, the earliest having died April 24, 1675,
aged 72.
The earliest record so far found of Prindles in America is of
John, whose name appears as an "after planter" in Milford, Conn.,
in 1645; and nothing further has yet been found until the name of
William appears in the New Haven Colonial Records, in 1653-4.
And in order to a better understanding of the matter it is desirable
to make a brief reference to some of the events leading up to the
settlement of this Colony, and the appearance of William, whom
we find taking the oath of fidelity to the New Haven Jurisdiction
in 1654.
The early settlers brought with them a high regard for church
and town records, and so noted down with much care and minute-
ness the current facts connected with the family and business life.
Some of these old records may seem of little moment, and even
trivial, to the ordinary reader, but to the historian and genealogist
they are often found to be of great value.
The history of the New Haven Colony begins as early as l635,
when the first steps were taken in the organization of the Daven-
port and Eaton Company, in England and Holland. The Rev.
John Davenport, as pastor of the Church in Coleman Street, Lon-
don, was made to feel the persecuting hand of Archbishop Laud,
and to escape which he sought refuge for a time in Holland. The-
ophilus Eaton, the other founder of this Colony, was a London mer-
chant of means and influence, and is said to have been a member
of the former's congregation. This company was the fourth colony
which had set out for New England, and is mentioned as being
better equipped as to men and means than any of its predecessors.
On arrival at Boston they were urged to join the Massachusetts
Bay Colony. But glowing accounts had reached them from settlers
who had "swarmed" from the Massachusetts Bay Colony, and while
wintering in Boston some of their number had sought for a suitable
location in Connecticut. Fearing that Archbishop Laud might
trouble the Massachusetts Bay Colony if they remained with it,
xii Prindle Genealogy.
and having their own ideas about the management of civil and re-
ligious affairs^ they were moved to decline the invitation as a colony,
though doubtless some individuals may have remained, and others
of the Bay Colony joined the newer enterprise.
So Eaton selected and purchased this tract on Long Island
Sound, and settled upon the mouth of the Connecticut River as
their harbor, being " merchants of Traffick and business. The
Colony was under the conduct of as holy, and as prudent and as
genteel persons as most that ever visited these nooks of America."
The Colony arrived at New Haven, April 14, 1638, and in
June, 1639, after much consideration, proceeded to the organiza-
tion of a civil government. In August following the church was
organized, and Mr. Davenport chosen pastor, and later Mr. Eaton
was made governor. The church at Milford was organized the
same day. The settlement of Guilford, Stamford, Branford, and
Southold, L. I., followed, as families from the various old home
counties naturally gathered together at the different places, and
their numbers were increased from time to time by the later emi-
grants in 1640-45. It is stated that owing to the persecutions of
Laud about nineteen-twentieths of the Puritans that came over ar-
rived in the few years preceding the long Parliament, 1641.
The later settlers, who came to Milford from Wethersfield and
elsewhere, were called "after planters," and it is on this list that
the name of John Prindle is found.
The different plantations were not equally prosperous or har-
monious, but those at New Haven and Milford seem to have been
the most so.
In 1646 Mr. Isaac Allerton, a Mayflower Pilgrim, came to New
Haven from New York. He had been "assistant" to Governor
Bradford, and was a "factour" of the Plymouth Colony some fif-
teen to twenty years before. He was interested in shipping and
made several voyages back and forth to England, exchanging beaver
skins, etc., for other goods needed by the colonists, but was most
active in promoting the formation of new companies of "adven-
turers." Some dissatisfaction among these colonists followed his
management of their affairs and so he removed to New York,
about 1632-34, but later returned to New Haven.
In 1653-4 we find William Pringle mentioned as " the Scotchman
which lives at Mr. Allerton's."
Foreword. xiii
It was the custom to require a young man not living with his
parents to make his home with a householder. Men married young
then, often not waiting long after they were of age, and frequently
marrying before that time; and so William was probably about
twenty-one when he married Mary Desborough, in 1655.
His relationshiiD to John, if any existed, has not been ascer-
tained; nor, as before stated, have any steps yet been taken to
trace his ancestrj^, but it is much to be hoped that the comj^ilation
of this little history may serve to arouse the enthusiasm and interest
of his living descendants to make an earnest and persistent effort
toward ascertaining his parentage and antecedents across the water.
For however humble may have been the lot of our forbears who fled
to New England to pioneer a new land of liberty and freedom,
their names should not be left to perish with the lapse of time.
And ungrateful must be the descendants of these founders, who
have inherited the blessings for which they toiled and suffered to
secure, who will not in some way aid to rescue their names from
oblivion.
The tradition in many families, of the two or three "brothers
who came over," has become so frequent as to excite the smiles of
the incredulous; but when one considers the history of the times,
the facts of homes broken up and families scattered by persecution,
or the desire to better their condition, with one or more venturing
to Holland or America for refuge or in search of a new home, it
should not appear so strange. It would be but most natural for
two or more of the same family to go together, or, if separately,
with the purpose of rejoining later on in the new far-away land.
So when the "three brothers" came over, it might have been at in-
tervals or at the same time, the details of which are now lost in the
distance; but the statement that they "came over" is often the
starting point of the family history in the New World.
The Prindle traditions vary: some say three brothers, some say
two; some say one settled in ^Massachusetts, and one in Connecticut,
and one somewhere else; while others say one in Connecticut, one
in Virginia, and lose the third one; and those that say two, put one
in Connecticut, but are in doubt as to the other.
Remembering the general histories of the Colonies, all these
traditions might be the truth, especially as early records in Massa-
chusetts, Virginia and North Carolina mention Pringles or Prindles
xiv Prindle Genealogy.
whose connection with William of Connecticut has not been traced.
Means of communication were slow and difficult in those early days,
and in most cases families thus scattered soon lost all knowledge of
one another. At a much later period, after the Revolution, some
Tory Prindles went to Canada, and, resuming the Scotch " g " of
the name, lost their identity as Connecticut Prindles almost entirely.
Also several Pringles of the British Army, liking the country, drew
land and remained here.
Tradition also points to Holland, as well as Northumberland
and around Edinburgh, as the place from which the early immi-
grants came. This seems very probable, as Holland was the near-by
refuge of many who looked and longed for America as their future
home.
The story thus far goes to show how meager and uncertain is
our present knowledge of the origin of the Prindles in America.
The only authentic statement yet found is the one referred to
about "the Scotchman" William, of New Haven; and it is concern-
ing him that one of his descendants writes:
" William Pringle was the son of one of the followers of King
James of Scotland and came to America on the restoration of
Charles the Second, and from him the family in the United States
derives its name and descent."
Another descendant writes:
" My aunt tells me that there is a tradition in one branch of the
family that two brothers came over from Scotland. They ran away
on account of a stepmother."
And still another descendant writes:
" There is a tradition in our family that we are descendants of
a Pringle boy who came not many generations ago from Scotland.
His story was told me by my dear grandmother, my father's mother,
who long survived her husband and lived all my boyhood in this
old Prindle home, where I was reared. My grandmother told me
what slie had heard from her husband, of that Scotch boy : that he
was apprenticed in some seaport town to a ship's blacksmith. Liv-
ing in the family of his master he came under the discipline of the
blacksmith's wife, who was wont to chastise him severely. One
day, when the boy had attained considerable size, his mistress was
administering the customary punishment, the boy stooping before
her, his head between her knees, while she was belaboring his pos-
terior parts. The severity of the blows stirred the boy to rebellion,
so gathering all his strength in an effort for freedom, he upset his
Foreword. xv
mistress and escaped. When he had opportunity to consider what
he had done, and the consequences of his rebellious act, he knew it
would never do to fall into the liands of his mistress again, so he
escaped to a ship bound for America."
The original aim of the compiler was to prepare only a brief
family record of his great-grandfather, Zalmon Prindle, who was
a soldier of the American Revolution, and of his descendants, and,
as a slight tribute to his memory, to publish the same for preserva-
tion and distribution among those of his descendants now living who
might desire to have it. Then, as the interest to know more of his
antecedents speedily grew, the investigation was enlarged so as
to embrace the record of his ancestors in the direct line of ascent
to the original emigrant and progenitor of the family in this country.
This in turn led to include also the children of each male ancestor;
and, finally by utilizing the data incidentally accumulated, to en-
large the record so as to include all the descendants of William^ as
far as ascertained, from l654, to those of Zalmon'^ now living, 1906,
during a period of 252 years and embracing ten generations. The
descendants of the several lines and branches other than that of
Zalmon have, however, only been brought down generally to the
sixth generation, and in some lines to the seventh and eighth gen-
erations, but which it is hoped will prove sufficient to enable those
of later generations to connect their own family records with those
of the past. The compiler will feel sufficiently rewarded for his
efforts if these pages shall serve to induce other descendants not
only to make and preserve a careful record of their own families,
but will also undertake the work of completing the history of their
own lines and branches which has failed to find a record here, to
the end that ultimately a full and complete history of the Prindle
family in America can be made.
For the benefit of those descendants of soldiers of the Revolu-
tion who might wish to establish their eligibility to membership in
the patriotic societies, based upon the service of Revolutionary an-
cestors, etc., there will be found in the Appendix, Note 11, a list of
those soldiers whose names appear upon the official records of the
Pension Office, War and Treasury Departments, and of the States
of Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut and New York, together
with a brief transcript of records of service rendered by them in
the achievement of American independence.

The compiler desires to return his sincere thanks to those mem-
bers of the family who have freely rendered assistance in furnishing
their family records, etc., while special acknowledgments are due,
and hereby gratefully made, to Mrs. Isabella A. (Hedenberg)
Prindle, of Bon Air, Virginia, for most valuable aid rendered and
for making available the extensive data which she has been patiently
collecting for several years past, and which was freely used in this

furnished most of the early records of our progenitor, William^, and
his immediate family, as well as the line of Joseph", of Avhich she
is a descendant.
While much pains have been taken to make the individual records
correct, as to names, dates, etc., it is probable that errors will be
found; and it is earnestly requested that all such may be promptly

up from the first." — Nehemiah, vii., 5.
1. WILLIA^r PRINDLE.
William^ Pringle (also spelled Prindle in his will), a native
of Scotland, the emigrant ancestor and progenitor of the family in
America, settled in New Haven, Conn., where he took the oath of
fidelity to the New Haven Jurisdiction, Theophilus Eaton, Gov-
ernor, on April 4, l654.
He is first mentioned in the New Haven Colonial Records as
" the Scotchman which lives at iSIr. Allerton's," who was one of the
Mayflower Pilgrims, Savage says that William Pringle " was a
proprietor in 1 685, and so was Joseph, who may have been a son."
He married, December 7, 1655, Mary Desborough, daughter of
Desborough (also spelled Disburrow in copy of ancient
records), Mr. Stephen Goodyear, magistrate, officiating.
His will was dated October 17, 1689, and probated June 5,
1690. Although the place of his burial is not now known, it is
supposed to liave been in the New Haven Green. She joined with
son Eleazer, as late as April 6, 1697, in a deed, and probably died
about 1700-01.

ble estate; to the child of his daii. Obedience, dec'd, 5 shillings; to
the three children of his son Eleazur, dec'd, 40 shillings apiece; to
his son Stephen, 5 shillings ; to his dau. Hannah Clark, 5 shillings ;
" having already given to my son Nathaniel 40 acres of 5th Divi-"
sion Land by deed, in consideration of his granting and confirming
about 70 acres of land at Pilgrim Harbor to my son Isaac Beecher,
I esteem that in full of said Isaac Beecher's portion, and therefore
he shall not demand nor receive any more of my estate"; to son
Nathaniel the remainder of his estate ; " he, the said Nathaniel
Beecher, to take care of and aiFord suitable maintenance to my be-
loved wife Phebe, so long as she lives or bears my name ; and also
take into his care and keeping my son Ebenezer Beecher, who I
desire may always live with Nathaniel so long as he lives, I having
given Nathaniel the more estate that he may carefully look after
that impotent cliild."
Nathaniel was named executor, and the estate inventoried at
£l47 1 s. 4 d. John Smith and Samuel Candee, Appraisers.
In 1680, when the 3d Division of common land was made, Elea-
zer's name appears on the list as having three in his family, with
<£13, and therefore he drew twenty acres of land.
In 1684, he and John Smith partitioned for a piece of land at
the foot of what is still known as Shingle Hill, in the western part
of town, but which was not granted them.
On M'ay 17, 1684, under the Act of 1667 authorizing such ac-
tion, Eleazer recorded to himself 10 acres on the "West Side"
(now West Haven), described as " that part of the 2d Division be-

longing to Mr. Laniberton's quarter, and did at the first belong to
Robert Ceely (Seely), dee'd, bounded north and south by highways,
east by land of William Pringle, and west by Peter Mallary, Sr."
This piece was next adjoining, on the west, to his father-in-law,
William Pringle, between Main and Elm Streets, Union Street and
Third Avenue. Eleazer lived on this lot, for in after years he
speaks of it as " my house lot in West Haven," and probably was
living there at the time of William Prindle's death. His son,
Eleazer, Jr., became one of the first settlers in New Milford.
He seems to have returned to New Haven in later years, where
he died, March 2, 1726, and was buried in the Old Cemetery in
West Haven, where the following inscrijJtion is found upon his
tombstone:
Here lieth the Body of
ELIZUR BEECHER,
Who died Mch. ye 2nd, 1726.
Aged 71 years.
His descendants long owned the southern part of this ten-acre
piece, and an old house with stone chimney was standing there as
late as 1893. The last of the name residing there was Miss Amy
Beecher, who died in 1836, ae. 78. St. Lawrence Church and rec-
tory (R. C.) now occupy the site of the old home of generations
of the Beechers.
Isaac Beecher, brother of Eleazer, was the ancestor of Lyman,
who was the father of Henry Ward Beecher and Harriet Beecher
Stowe, of the renowned Beecher family.

Lieut. Jabez Pritchard enlisted July, 1777, in Capt.
Carris' Co., Col. Enos' Regiment, who was in command
of the guards at Horseneck which were afterwards
transferred to Major Humphrey's command, near Fort
Independence. In the conflict at the fort he was
taken prisoner with others, confined first at Kings-
bridge and afterwards on a prison ship in the North
River. His commission was taken from him and he
so brutally and inhumanly treated that he lived but
a short time, and died while on the prison ship that
same year.
That he was a man of generous nature and bore an
honorable character is evidenced from the fact that he
might have escaped capture had he deserted a poor
wounded comrade, which he would not and did not do.
And when he saw his comrades dying about him for
want of food, he divided his money with them, which
act, says Capt. Bradford Steele, was the means by
which his own life was saved.

Milford Land Records show transfers of property, March 14,
1726-7, from Joseph Peck to Thankful Rocli ; and May 29, 1736,
from John Roatch to " my daughter Thankful Roatch, for the great
care showed to me in my very old age, my dwelling house, garden,
and land of one-fourth acre in ye westermost part of je town,
bounded S. on ye street or highway, W. on ye land which ye sd
Thankful bought of Lieu. Jos. Peck, N. on ye undivided land or
comonage, E. in part sd comonage, & in part of ye land of Alice
Roberts."
The original first and second volumes of these records are miss-
ing, and Vol. II L (which is indexed as II.), has a note at the front
saying, " Third Book of Records with a transcript of the most
necessary things contained in the two former books. 1677."
It is presumed that the ancient scribe, in using his judgment
as to the " most necessary things " to be transcribed for preserva-
tion, must have omitted many most interesting and valuable
" things " to historians and genealogists !

5. EBENEZER PRINDLE.
Ebenezer- Puindle (William^), son of William and Mary
(Desborough) Prindle, was born in New Haven, Conn., September
10, l(j()l ; married Elizabeth, daughter of John Hubby (or Hobby),
whose will, dated Greenwich, Conn., April 24, 1707, and probated
May tlG, 1707, was signed John Hobe, and mentions sons Thomas,
]ienjaniiii and Jonathan, and daughters Elizabeth Prindle, Hannah
Bunckuni, Martha Moris, Mary Holmes and Rachel James, and
graiidcliildren Rebecca and Hannah Hardy (daus. of dee'd dau.
Rebecca Hardy), John Hubby and ISIary Holmes. Son Jonathan
Hubby and son-in-law Stephen Holmes, executors. (Savage has
the name as Hobby.)
They first removed to Milford, Conn., where they and their
children, Sarah, Enos, Joseph, Benjamin and Jonathan, were bap-
tized and received into the First (Cong.) Church, July 4, 1703; re-
moved again, about 1709-10, to Newtown, Conn., where he settled,
and died there in 1740.

Newtown town records show, among other early transfers, the
following:
January 19, 1703. — Deed, to Ebenezer Prindle of Milford
" from Lemuel Eells of Milford all my right title and interest in
and unto a place called Newtown as will more fully appear by the
Grant of the General Court." Also on
March 2, 1709- — Deed to Ebenezer Prindle o£ Milford, from
Lemuel Eells of Milford; showing that up to this time he had not
removed to Newtown.
In May, 1708, the Colonial Legislature gave a town grant, leav-
ing it to the people to choose between Preston and Newtown for a
name; and
In March, 1710, the name of Ebenezer Pringle appears as one
of twenty-two proprietors in " An a countt of a Division of Land
laid out by the Committee for Newtown, each lot Contauning 20
acres," etc., when he was allotted five lots on the west side of the
town.
In May, 1711, the town was given the right to elect local offi-
cers, a town clerk, constable, surveyor, etc., and these officers were
obliged to go to Danbury to take the oath of office, and
On September 24, 1711, at a meeting of the proprietors, Eben-
ezer Prindle was appointed surveyor of highways.
In October, 1711, the town was incorporated and granted the
right to elect townsmen, or selectmen, and at a meeting held at the
house of Daniel Foote, December 4, 1711, Ebenezer Pringle, Samuel
Sanford and John Piatt were chosen select men, thus inaugurating
the first town government. He was also re-elected in 1712 and
following years.
In 1711 he was also appointed surveyor of the land purchased
from the Indians.
On December 4, 1711, at the second town meeting held that day,
he was appointed on a committee of three to consider the matter

of establishing a grist mill on Pond brook and to draw articles con-
cerning the same.
Ebenezer Prindle was one of the thirty-seven original proprie-
tors of Newtown in 1710. Each settler had a lot of certain given
dimensions on the main street; and it was recorded on November 18,
1713, that " Ebenezer Prindle hath taken his pitch South westerly
of Chestnut Ridge, length north and south 140 rods, width 80
rods," which was doubtless the original Prindle home lot.
The minutes of following town meetings contain many refer-
ences to Ebenezer as a prominent citizen, as well as to his children,
as time passed on. The land records show many transfers since
then made in the names of Ebenezer, his children and their descend-
ants down to the jDresent time, more than three hundred of which
have been examined for data relating to this branch of the family
for use in this compilation.
By the will of Ebenezer Pringle (signed Prindle) of Newtown,
Conn., dated June 26, 174'(), and probated August 8, 17'iO, he gives to
his "son Joseph one acre of Land adjoining to his house lot, bounded

west on his Brother Jehoshaj^hat's land; also my Dwelling House
and my house lot or Home lot, . . . excepting two acres at
the West Side or end, and that my Son Jehoshaphat shall have the

of Benjamin's estate, dated Greenwich, Feb. 6, 1733, and
valued at £3i-7-8, was made by Caleb Knap and Na-
thaniel Huested.
Note. — It has been thought that the Enos Prindle
who m. Deborah Jones of Milford, Jan. 16, 1750, and
had ten children, was a son of Benjamin, but the proof
is still lacking. Orcutt's History of Derby gives an in-
complete record of this family. One of the sons, Enos
Jones, was a soldier of the Revolutionary war, 1777-
1786. Another son, John, served under Gen. Wooster
at the siege of Boston.
This note is here made Avitli the hope that it may
lead to the discovery of further facts relating to the
descendants of Benjamin and the ancestry of this Enos

appearing on a list of "names of men enlisted at
Northfield in Dec, 1776, to go to Danbury."

Dickinson were allowed to have their proportion of
school money among themselves. He was chosen one
of the survcA'^ors at the town-meeting of March 3,
1800, and in 1818, he and 48 others living on the west
side of the river petitioned to be set off into a new
town.

6. JOSEPH PRIXDLE.
Joseph- Prixdle (Willicnn^), son of William and Mary (Des-
borough) Prindle, was born in New Haven, Conn., June 11, 1663.
He married August 19, 1686, Mary Brown, daughter of John-
(Francis^) and Mary (Walker) Brown, of New Haven, Mr. James
Bishop officiating, who was born there May 2, 1664.
His father deeded him, in 1689, one acre of land at the N.E.
corner of his homestead, near the corner of what is now Elm
Street and Second Avenue, in W^est Haven, and also one-fourth
acre on the S.W. corner. On December 10, I69I, he bought of
Peter Mallary, Sr., six acres near Elm Street and Union Avenue,
where is now the residence of Mr. Edw. G. Mansfield, and there
built a house. He describes himself as a house carpenter, as dis-
tinguished from a ship carpenter. He sold this shortly after to
Peter Mallary, Jr., and on February 8, 1697-8, bought of Jonathan
Atwater, for 24 pounds, a tract of 88 acres located about two and
one-half miles from West Haven, and which is described in the
deed as lying "upon ye hill commonly called the half way liill as
they goe to Milford." A part of this land is believed to have
been the nucleus of the homestead, which remained in the Prindle
family for 173 years.
The hill naturally took the name of "Prindle Hill," and the
farm came to be called "Scotland," at just what time is now un-
certain, but it was so named and known for at least the last 7-')
years of the Prindle occupancy. He is belicA'cd to have been, with

A few days after his marriage, Joseph received from
his father by deed one-half acre of land — being a part
of his farm — ^with the new house thereon; and by his
father's will he became the owner of the homestead
where he lived and died, leaving an estate of 6S5 pounds,
7 shillings, two-pence. His will, dated Jan. 15, 1770,
bequeathed to his wife one-third of the movable and the
use and improvement of one-third of the real estate. His
daughter Elizabeth was to be allowed to dwell with her
mother while she lived, and afterwards to have, if im-
married, the use of her father's part of the house, which
eventually was to go to Elijah. The remainder of the
estate was to be divided into 15 parts, 4 going to Elijah,
3 to Joseph, and 2 each to the others. Joseph and
Elijah were made executors.

to this country. Soon after his arrival he became
acquainted with many theological students who were
pursuing their studies at Yale College, and with the
faculty of that celebrated institute of learning, and so
became a regular visitor at its examinations and com-
mencements. And it was upon one of these journeys
that the following interesting incident occurred, as
extracted from an old paper now in possession of a
descendant:
"About a year after his settlement at Phillips
Patent, N. Y., in the fall of 1757, while on his way to
commencement which then took place at the beginning
of the fall term, he became somewhat belated on a
dark and stormy night and lost his way some two or
three miles west of New Haven. While traveling along
he hears a lad whistling in the distance, and ajjproach-
ing him states his difficulty and requests the young
man to set him on the right road. The lad informs
him that the road is quite obscure for a stranger on so
dark and inclement a night, and invited him to his
father's house, and tells him that he and his brothers
will put him on the right track in the morning. Weary
with some sixty miles of travel on horseback since
morning, he follows the young man to his father's
house. Received with the frankness so common in that
day by the lad's parents, the mother and sisters pre-
pared a supper for the stranger guest.
"In the meantime the father finds the stranger to
be from the bonnie land of Scotland, even from the
very neighborhood from which his own grandfather
came to this country. Thus thej^ were old friends at
once, and it was late the next day when our hero was
set on his way to the City of Elms, with the re-
quest that he should call on his return home.
"On the return call it appears a contract of mar-
riage was made between him and the eldest daughter,
Betty Prindle. The honored father and the two eldest
brothers objected, as he was a Dissenter (Calvinistic
Presbyterian), but Betty met their objections by say-
ing that he was little less than a Churchman, since on
his mother's side a birthright Churchman to remotest
generations, and on his father's side by many links.
That Betty's intercession was successful, is shown
Descendants of Joseph-. 53
by the following copy of their marriage record from
an old Scotch Bible:
"To the glory of God and the profit of the Church
and Commonwealth as we earnestly hope and desire,
"The Rev. Mr. Ebenezer Knibloe, Minister of the
Gospel at Amenia near Sharon, was married with
Miss Betty Prindle, of New Haven, by the Rev. Mr.
Elijah Sill, ^Minister of the Gospel at New Fairfield,
upon Thursday, about 8 o'clock at night, being the
eighth day of June, Anno Domini 1758."
He was for more tl>an 25 years minister of the
Round Top meeting-house, in the south part of Sharon,
Conn. He was a Loyalist during the Revolutionary
war, and is said to have relinquished the ministry in
consequence.
"He was a sound and sensible man, a good preach-
er, and apparently a sincere christian. They lived at
Amenia Union a long time until their death."

By the removal of his brothers and sisters, he
became the owner of the homestead in West Haven,
where he lived and died. He was for many years a
warden of Christ Church, and naturally a Loyalist
during the Revolutionary war.
It is related that when the British fleet Avas at
anchor off Oldfield shore, at the time of Tryon's In-
vasion, the Prindle boys carried them some beef. The
West Haven people hearing of this came up to Scot-
land to arrest them, and upon inquiring for the boys
at the door were told they were there or had been
only a short time before. The house was searched,
but the boys, having observed their apjjroach, left by
another door and escaped to the woods. This occurred
in the old home then located across the road from the
present one, but which was pulled down immediately
after building the latter, about 1827.

He lived more or less with his uncle Charles* at
New Haven, before his marriage. His home was
the old house on the right-hand side of the road
leading to Scotland, and the one which Elizabeth,
his father's sister, was given apart for her life use.
After the death of his father, in 1814, he removed
to Sharon, Conn., induced to go there perhaps be-
cause his sister Lois and her family had gone there
eight years before, and also because his daughter
Sybil, who married Anson Prindle, and his son
Samuel were then living there. He bought a farm
on Gay Street (so-called), about two miles from
the village, where his grandson Charles', son of
Samuel J.", is now living, and owner of the farm
■which still remains in the possession of the family.

maiden name was Phebe Thompson, dau. of Col.
Joseph Thompson, and who d. Jan. 26, 1791. He d.
in New Haven, April 28, 1808, ae. 74.
He settled in New Haven, and lived on Cherry St.
(now Wooster), in a one-story-and-a-half frame house
with dormer windows. This house was standing until
about 1850, when it was torn down to make room
for Germania Hall. He was a blacksmith, and his
shop stood opposite his house where Prindle Alley,
named for him, is now. He brought up his nephew
and namesake, Charles^, son of Joseph*, and it was
supposed he intended to make him his heir, but the
birth of children by his third wife appears to have
changed any such intention.
He was a vestryman, 1775-1782, of Trinity
Church, when it was located where Spaulding's drug
store now stands.
At the time of the invasion by the British, under
Gen. Tryon, in 1779, it is stated that, on the alarm
of the approach of the British troops, he placed his
wife Ruth upon a horse and started her for Hamden,
where she remained until after the troops had left.
With many others, he was then summoned before a
Committee to explain why he remained in town during
its occupancy by the enemy at that time.
In the plundering of the city his house was not
omitted, much of his furniture was destroyed, and
such valuables as could be found were carried off. An
old-fashioned " chest of drawers," resembling a tall
Descendants of Joseph-. 75
bureau, having three drawers in the lower half which
could be opened, and three false ones, or panels rep-
resenting drawers, above, with a lid on top, which
constituted the " chest," was at that time a stylish
piece of furniture. In this upper " chest " were kept
many of the choicest things of the household, which
in the hasty flight of the family were left behind.
Upon their return three drawers were found on the
floor, but being unable to open the false ones above,
though fitted with brass handles and otherwise looking
like the others, and the visit of the looters necessarily
being a hasty one, these troops of King George showed
their disappointment by leaving the marks of musket
blows on the chest, which it still bears and makes the
old piece of furniture still more valuable as a relic,
which is still retained in the possession of a descendant.
From an old account book of his is taken the fol-
following statement:
"Charles Prindle Los by ye Briteash Troops is
10 Shirts and 5 Stocks 2 Silver Stock buckels 2 Pare
of Silver Shoe buckles 2 Pare of Do nebuckles 1
String gold beads 1 Pare of Stone Jugs 1 fether bed
5 Sheets 1 Pare of new Shoes 1 Long Brod Cloth
Cloke 4 gowns 2 Lin aprons 2 Jacets 1 Pare of
Trowsers 6 Silver Spoons 2 Plates 1 Diaper Table
Cloth 1 watch 1 Bed quilt."
As a blacksmith, he carried on what was then
considered a large business, besides having an interest
in several vessels, as his old account-book shows.
Although the ink on many pages is pale, and the
paper coarse, bearing the old-fashioned "water mark,"
and void of ruling, the entries are yet still legible
enough to show that the people of those early days
had an honest and simple way of settling their ac-
counts with one another. It is probable that money
was not very plentiful among them, and settlements
between debtors and creditors were made in a way
admitting of no future disputes. It appears to have
been the custom for both parties to look over their
book accounts together, and, after satisfactory ad-

justment, an entry would be made to that effect under
the footing. Here is one from this old account book:

His only children were by his third wife, Mrs.
Phebe (Thompson) Punchard, who bore him two
daughters, the elder of which died at the age of seven
of yellow fever, when it was epidemic in New Haven
and 63 persons died of it.

7. SAMUEL PRINDLE.
Samuel- Prindle {William'^), son of William and Mary (Des-
borough) Prindle, was born in New Haven, Conn., April 15, 1668,
and died in New ]\Iilford, Conn., September 29, 1750. He mar-
ried 1st, by Robert Treat, January 1, 1699, Dorothy Plum, daughter
of John Plum, of Milford, who was born May 26, l660, and died
after 1736; 2nd, March 31, 1747, Sarah Chapyman; removed to
Milford, and thence to New Milford, Conn.
His name appears on a List of Names of the Original Pur-
chasers (109 in number) and Proprietors of the Township of New
Milford, April 1706. He was one of the first twelve settlers of
New Milford which was organized in October, 1712, and wher^.
he appears as a signer of the petition in 1711.
John Noble, Sr., laid out Mr. Prindle's first forty acres, on
Second Hill before r71-i, and on the Right of William Fowler,
which was described as " lying upon the westerh- side of the
Second Hill at a place called Prindle's Pitch, 80 rods on the square,
common land on all sides."
In 17'C1, William Fowler deeded his Right, including this land
improved, and another piece at the south end of the village, to
Samuel Prindle and Joseph Bostwick. ]Mr. Prindle had paid all
the charges against this Right for seven years, by which lie se-
cured one-half the Right to himself. His dwelling stood at the
south end of the village.
He and his wife united with the First Church there in 1720,
but, with six of their children (John, Samuel, Jr., Sarah, Elizabeth,
Dorothy and Daniel), are named in the Record of the Church
book as " Sundry Members who fell away to Quakerisin in ye
year 1731 and 1732." Eight years after he returned to the First
Church, but she had returned in 1736. It appears that the three
sons left the Quakers and united with the Episcopal Churcli in
1743, the records of which show that on [March 17, 1743, it was
" Voted, upon the desire of John Prindle, Samuel Prindle,
David Prindle" (and nine others) "to grant them a piece of land
in the street east of Mr. Samuel Prindle's house, upon the hill near
where the old pound used to stand, sixty feet in length and forty
feet in breadth, in order to build a Church of England upon, and
for no other purpose.

"Voted that the above named petitioners shall have liberty to
use a piece of land eastward of Samuel Prindle's house of sixty
feet in length and forty feet in breadth^ the length to be east and
west, to build a house for the worship of God during the time the
house shall be kept on the land; also that Mr. Nathaniel Bost-
wick, David Noble, and Daniel Bostwick, shall be Committee to set
out the bounds of said land."
His will was dated New Milford, November 24, 174<9, "in the
23d year of the Reign of our Sovereign Lord George the 2nd,"
and probated at Woodbury, Conn., October 30, 1750. Sons Samuel,
John and Daniel were named as executors, and beloved daughters
Elizabeth, Sarah, Dorothy, Mary and Obedience were named as
beneficiaries.
To Samuel and John, " my tract or parcel of Land lying at
ye three mile brook, to be equally divided between them."
To Daniel, " my tract or piece of land lying at Two Mile
Brook on ye west side of ye Country Rhoad to him and his heirs
forever."
Inventory, dated October 10, 1750, was valued at £842-17-00,
by Dobson Wheeler & John Warner, " Prisors."
In the distribution of the estate, made November 16, 1750,
there was included, in
Samuel's share: One Indian Field Lott £185-00-00
half right of undivided land 12-00-00

30, Martha Prime, dau. of James Prime, 2nd, of Mil-
ford. (James Prime, 1st, came to Milford in 1644. He
was of Huguenot descent, and is believed to have come
from Doncaster, England.)
He was one of the first 12 settlers of New Milford,
liis residence was on the west side of the " Great River,"
on the west side of the Great Plain, near his brother
Samuel's home, at the " Goose Pond." So said his father
in a deed to his daughter.
He miited with the First Church in 1726, and of
him the Rev. Daniel Boardman made the following
record :
"Oct. 1729. — John Prindle, a member of ye cinirch
was suspended from communion by a general voice of
ye church at a meeting of ye Brethren, for a scandalously
and schurrillously abusing Daniel Boardman, his pastor."
He appears to have been one of the most obnoxious
to the pastor of those of his church that " fell away to
Quakerism." There were eight of the name of Prindle
who thus " fell away." Some returned to the First
Church, and some became Episcopalians. John united
with the Quakers in 1731, but in 1743 he is found in
the Society of the Church of England.
He was a large land owner, and many deeds still
exist showing transfers between him and his sons and

8. ELEAZER PRINDLE.
Eleazer- Prindle {\Yilliani^), son of William and Mary (Des-
borough) Prindle, was born in New Haven, Conn., June 7, 1669;
married Elizabeth Andrews, daughter of Thomas Andrews, of Mil-
ford, formerly of Farmington, Conn.; and died abt. 1713. He
settled in Milford, at a place called Burwell's farms, and was one
of the original proprietors of New Milford, in 1712. He was a
blacksmith and preacher.
Eleazer was left the homestead in consideration of his taking
care of his parents in their latter days, and was twenty years old
when his father died. In 1697 he and his mother sold ten acres
from the north end of the homestead to Joseph Smith. His mother
died probably about 1700-1701, and in 1702 Eleazer sold the house
and remaining land, of seven and one-half acres, to Isaac Jones
and Gershom Brown, of New Haven.
This Isaac Jones had an interesting ancestry, which it may be
well to refer to in this connection here. His father was William
Jones, son of one of the judges that condemned Charles I. to
death, and himself deputy governor of this Colony for over thirty
years. His mother was Hannah, daughter of Theophilus Eaton.
Jones sold his one-half interest in the place, in 1705, to Brown, in
whose family (with possibly the exception of one transfer) it re-
mained, without subdivision, for 150 years.
The year before he sold the remainder of the homestead, Eleazer
had taken steps toward locating in Milford, influenced doubtless
by the settlement there of his brothers Samuel and Ebenezer.
In 1701 he bought four and one-half acres in Oyster Meadow
Plain of Jeremiah Canfield, and in 1702 as much more of John
Ford in the same neighborhood, and probably married soon after.
Administration on his estate was granted to his widow, Eliza-
beth, July 6, 171s. The inventory included the house and barn
and land in Milford, <£150; land in Wallingford bounds, 83 acres,
<£70; "spelling book and sermon book, 4 shillings," etc., the es-
timated value after payment of debt* being about £275.
The widow Elizabeth married, 2nd, and before February 3,
1714, Mr. John Bronson, one of the first settlers of Waterbury,
Conn. He was appointed guardian of the children for their father's

Upon his mother's removal to Waterbury, she brought
her son Jonathan with her and bound him as an ap-
prentice to Isaac Bronson, of Waterbury, to learn the
art or trade of shoe making and tanning. His name ap-
pears on a list of petitioners to the General Court, Oct.
4, 1732, for exemption from the old parish rates during
the winter months, and the privilege of having a min-
ister at their own expense during this time, etc., which
was granted and the privilege allowed for four years;
also, May, 1738, on a list of heads of families included
within the limits of the new society with the number of
persons in each, by which it appears that his family com-
prised seven persons at this time; also, in 1742, on a
list of subscribers to a building fund for an Episcopal
Church; also, April 20, 1743, on a list of persons to
whom John Judd conveyed a lot of ground for the new
church, donated by him; and also, April 22, 1744, on
a list of petitioners to the Assembly for parish priv-
ileges to enable them to lay taxes for building a church,
which was not granted.
In Oct., 1752, he was appointed by the General As-
sembly Lieutenant of " the Company or trainband,
parish of Westbury, in the town of Waterberry."

His gr. stone contains also the following inscrip-
tion: "Abigail Prindle, Died June 3, 1812, ae. 75,"
who may have been his second wife.
He was the Rev. Eleazer Prindle who helped to
establish the Episcopal Church in Waterbury, and his
name appears on a list of " the Churchman of Water-
bury," in 1764, entering into an agreement "to hold
public worship in Westbury on those Sundays when
there was no preaching in Waterbury," until a church
could be built there.

22, 1840; d. Aug. 25, 1833, ae, 80; and both were
buried at Gunntown.
He entered Yale College in 1772, graduated as
A.B., July 17, 1776, and received the degree of
A.M. in Sept., 1779- He prepared for the ministry,
and was admitted to the Holy Orders of Deacon in
St. John's Church, Stamford, by the Rt. Rev. Bishop
Seabury, in June, 1787, and was ordained Priest
in St. James' Church, Xew London, by the same
Bishop, Feb. 24, 1788.
When in deacon's orders he officiated as lay
reader in the Episcopal Church at Westbury at
a salary of £30, "to be paid in beef, pork, butter,
tallow, wool, flax, or any sort of grain," and con-
tinued as rector until his resignation in 1804. He
was for several years rector of the churches at
Naugatuck and Oxford, having been the first min-
ister of the parish of St. Peter's at the latter
place, and was rector of Trinity P. E. Church, Sey-
mour, Conn., in 1815.
It is said of him that " he was a most worthy
and indefatigable man, and it is related as an in-
stance of his punctuality in the discharge of duty.
Il6 Prindle Genealogy.
that on one occasion, when he was to preach at
Waterbury, he found the Naugatuck much swollen
by a flood, and rather than fail in his apjDointment
he plunged in on his horse and swam the stream.
He was noted for a sound and forcible intellect
and stern integrity, and was orthodox and firm
in principles. He was a useful minister."
Upon a memorial tablet in St. John's Episcopal
Church, Waterbury, is written the following in-
scription :

who died Aug. 25 1833
AE 85
The deceased was a graduate of Yale College
and received his ordination to the ministry in the
Protestant Episcopal Church from the hands of
the Rt. Rev. Samiiel Seabury. For a period of
nearly twenty years his time was devoted to the
united charges of Christ Church, Watertown, and
St. Peter's Church, Plymouth. Subsequently at
different periods he had the pastoral charges of the
churches in Oxford, Salem and Bethany.
He lived to exercise the ministry for a period
of fifty years.
And this stone is erected by his remaining friends
and parishioners as a token of their high regard for
his character, his zeal, his fidelity, his talents and
his worth, both as a man and as a minister.

inhabitants presented a memorial in the case of
Hezekiah Brown:
That he had said that the Congress ought to be
punished for putting the country to so much cost and
charge, for they did no more good than a 23arcel of
squaws ; that it was an unnecessary expense, and the
Assembly had no right to do it; that Boston had
wrongfully undertaken to quarrel about the tea, and
we had no hand in it; tliat our General Assembly was

toward the cause of American liberty that the Co. was
dissolved and these two men cashiered), and that he
would not go one step further for the relief of the
people of Boston than he was obliged to go."
Two months later, laws were enacted that any per-
sons defaming Congress or the General Assembly
should be deprived of arms and office, and should
be punished by fine and imprisonment or disfran-
chisement. He was tried and deprived of hold-
ing any further military office. He left Waterbury
not long after and joined the British in New York,
where he received a Captain's commission, and died
there Aug. 27, 1777.
His wife, the dau. of Lieut. Jonathan Prindle, re-
mained loyal to the cause of the Colonies, and the
real estate of her husband, which had been confiscated
because of his giving help to the enemy, was re-
stored to her.

thority. He was fined by the Superior Court £30,
and ordered not to leave the town. In 1783 he pre-

unm.
Milford Land Records show transfers from Thomas
Prindle in 1729 and 1731. He was of Derby in 1729,
and on June 16, 1730, describes himself as of Walling-
ford. His estate, probated in 1731, locates him in Meri-
den in the town of Wallingford.
Administration of the estate of Thomas Prindle, of
Wallingford, was granted to Thomas Prindle, of Water-
bury, January 1, 1731-2. His estate was valued at 14-6
pounds, 4 shillings and 10 pence. The inventory in-
cluded "a yoak of oxen, a sun dial, and a wigg." He
was a weaver by occujDation, and was unmarried.
9. HANNAH PRINDLE.
Hannah- Prindle (William'^), daughter of William and Mary
(Desborough) Prindle, was born in New Haven, Conn., March 6,
1670-71.
She is said to have married John Hull, Jr., but all that is
known of this appears from the following:
John Hull, Jr. (b. March 14, 1662, prob. Stratford) married
Hannah Prindle, probably, and lived a time on the hill near the
Riggs farm, but afterwards settled near his mill, back of Ansonia,
the place being known by his name. He was a man of solid worth;
representative, selectman, farmer and miller.
His children were:
1. Deborah, b. December 29, I69I ; d. Feb. 17, 1772.
2. John, b. Jan. 9, I69I.

Hull, son of John and Hannah (Prindle) Hull, and gr.son of Dr.
John Hull, of Derby and Wallingford. He d. Jan. 20, 1775.

These references conflict, however, with the following as to the
marriage of John Hull and Hannah Prindle:
John Hull, b. 1662, Stratford; m. Mary Jacobs; lived in
Derby; d. 1753.
He was a son of Dr. John Hull, who was born in New Haven,
Conn., in l640; a planter in Stratford in I66I, where he lived
until 1668; removed to Wallingford, Conn., in 1687, and died in

marriage and descendants, if any, of Hannah Prindle.

nection of America, at Utica, N. Y., in that year.
He was editor of "The Wesleyan," the official paper
of the Wesleyan Connection, at Syracuse, N. Y., for
twelve years. After the abolition of slavery and
the changed attitude of the Church with regard to
slavery he, in 1868, returned to the M. E. Church,
and was cordially received and highly complimented
by the Bishop for his anti-slavery work in years
past.
He had among his friends and correspondents
such men as Charles Sumner, Benjamin Wade,
Joshua R. Giddings, John P. Hale, Gov. Briggs, of
Mass., and many other prominent anti-slavery men
in Church and State.
He was converted at the age of 15, having been
awakened at the first Methodist prayer-meeting he
ever attended. He united with the M. E. Church
early in 1817; was licensed to preach in February,
1821; admitted to the New York Conference in
May of that year, and appointed to the Plattsburg
circuit, which extended from Lower Canada to
Elizabethtown, Essex Co., N. Y., necessitating
about 300 miles travel. From that time until 1874
he continued in the active ministry, a period of over
53 years, with but a single month's relaxation from
regular work.
In papers somewhat voluminous, written by him
since his superannuation, the following interesting
statement has been selected:
"In consequence of my profound convictions as
to the terrible sin and snare of slavery, and the at-
titude of the Church toward it at the time, I, in 1843,
united with others in the organization of the 'Wes-
leyan Methodist Connection of America,' and acted
with that body until 1867, when, believing that they
had performed the denominational mission to which
Descendants of Joseph^. 147
they were appointed, I reunited with the Methodist
Episcopal Church, and joined Erie Conference,
after which, by the change of Conference lines, I
became a member of the East Ohio Conference.
This step to which I then pledged myself was
the great event of my life, and I then considered,
and have ever since, that I was urged to take it by
moral compulsion. A truer heart never beat for
the Methodist Episcopal Church than mine had been
for the preceding 27 years. But the position she
had taken in her constituted authorities upon the
great sin of slavery, the persecutions she was in-
flicting upon many who were 'remembering those
in bonds as bound with them,' left no alternative but
either to disobey the command of God or dismem-
ber myself from the Church of my early choice,
and under the circumstances I could not hesitate
in the decision I made.
"This was no hasty step, nor one growing out of
disappointed ambition, but one that involved the most
sacred principles of divine truth and human duty,
which afforded me an illustration of the meaning of
cutting oft' the right hand and plucking out the
right eye.
"The act of leaving the Methodist Episcopal
Church in 1843 was the most painful I ever per-
formed, and that of re-uniting with said Church in
1867 the most unalloyed and satisfactory, and I still
believe that both acts, luider the circumstances, were
just and fitting. I have been an unprofitable servant,
and have nothing to rely upon but the mercy of God
in Christ Jesus, into whose hands I now commend
my soul for the vast future."
Dr. Prindle was a man of rare purity of char-
acter, a true friend of the oppressed, of intelligent
and positive convictions, a hater of shams and un-
compromisingl}' righteous.

See also Note 12, Appendix.
He also served in the Revolutionary war, as appears
from the following abstract from the Revolutionary War
Archives of the State of Massachusetts :
"Abel Prindle: appears with the rank of Private
on Pay Roll of Capt. Ebenezer Newell's Co., Col. Sy-
mond's regt. Time of service, 6 days. Company marched
from Lanesborough to Meloomscuyck, Aug. 14, 1777, on
an alarm. Mileage (35 miles) allowed said Prindel."
Vol. 21: 135.
The latter place named is the present Walloomsac,
N. Y., where the " Battle of Bennington " was fought,
August 16, 1777.
In this connection the following extract from the
History of Berkshire Co., Mass., Vol. II., p. 104, will
be found interesting:
" When the alarm went through the Berkshire towns
that the stores at Bennington were to be attacked by
the Hessians under Col. Baum, this town (Lanesboro)
furnished its contingent, and three of the soldiers per-
ished in battle. So intense was the feeling against tlie
tories that in the town records, beautifully written and
bordered with heavy black lines, is the following tribute
156 Prindle Genealogy.
to the two officers who were then killed: 'Lieutenant Abel
Prindle, of Lanesboro, in the County of Berkshire, State
of Massachusetts Bay, departed this life on the l6th day
of August, anno Christ 1777, being shot through the head
at Bennington fight, supposed to be done by one Solomon
Samuel Bunnel, a Tory and neighbor townsman of his
who had turned to the enemj'^ and was found under arms
and taken prisoner at Bennington fight, who confessed
he had done his best to kill his neighbor. The poor
man not only received his mortal wound by this infidel,
but was taken out of time and sent into the eternal world
of spirits instanteously, that is, not one moment of time
to think or prepare himself for his great last change;
but we have reason to believe God will be merciful to
those who died in so just a cause.
" Thus departed this life as good a friend to the
American cause, perhaps, as ever yet was born, and we
trust there is laid up for him a crown of glory."
In " Williamstown and Willioms College," by A. L.
Perry, 1899, p- 113, is found this further reference:
" Captain Daniel Brown took up from Lanesboro a
fine compan}^ of 46 men, mustered in on the 14th and six
days in service, of which the two lieutenants, Isaac
Nash and Abel Prindle, were killed in battle, and these
two names are inscribed in the town records as those of
patriots and martyrs, while the General Court afterwards
reimbursed the town of Lanesboro in 160 pounds of
powder and 580 pounds of lead and 240 flints, expended
at Bennington from their own stock."

■ They removed to Sandgate, Vt., where she died February 9,
1798, and where he also died August 11, 1809. His will dated

Jonathan and Nathan, each bought 50 acres of land in the West
part of the town from James Hard, of Arlington, Vt. — the town
adjoining — on January 26, 1784, the consideration in each case

other 50 acres of land from James Hard, of Arlington, the con-
sideration being the same in this case — eight pounds ; also that
Joel Prindle and Zalmon Prindle, of Sandgate, Vt., bought, No-
vember 2, 1803, from Jonathan Prindle, of Newtown, certain
land in Sandgate, the consideration in this case being $150,

calling themselves as of Stamford, N. Y., transferring to Zenas
Prindle, of Sandgate, their interest in the estate of Joel Prindle,
late of Sandgate, deceased. From which it would appear that this
Mabel Chadwick was a granddaughter of Joel Prindle and a
daughter of Mabel (Taylor) Prindle or Bethiah (Prindle) Gilbert,
daughters of Joel; but no further trace of the relationship has been
found.

having lost his little son Walter, about two years and a half old,
by drowning, he had the little body brought to his bedside from
which he conducted the funeral services, preaching the sermon him-
self, and closing with " Farewell, little one ! Papa will be with
you soon," He died of consumption the same week.

ABIJAH PRINDLE,
Of this Abijah Prindle it is only known that he was an orphan
and supposed to have been an only child, brought up by Benjamin
and Ruhamah Billings, in Canandaigua, N. Y. He was born bef.
1787, and died bef. 1813. He married in Canandaigua, abt. 1807
(prob.), Jane Peters, dau. of Abijah and Nancy ( ) Peters,
of Philadelphia, who was born July 27, 1787, and died, Canan-
daigua, Sept. 30, 1874. The family tradition has it that Abijah
Peters " fought in thirty- two battles by land and sea " in the Revo-
lutionary war; and it is probable that he removed to western New
York when the public lands there were opened for settlement to
veterans of the Revolution, as the records show him to have been
a sergeant.
This Abijah Prindle was accidentally killed, about 1811, by
being dragged by an ox he was leading, leaving two young
children, Nancy and Abijah, the latter then an infant. His widow,
Jane Peters Prindle, married, 2nd, Aug. 21, 1813, Isaac LeGore
(of Montreal, Canada), by whom she had eleven children, all but
four of whom died young. Her second husband brought up little
Abijah Prindle as one of his own, and in such a fatherly manner
that the latter never knew that Isaac was not his father, and was
called by his name as Abijah LeGore, until he himself came to
marry when he was informed as to the facts, and his mother told
him he ought to resume his own proper name of Prindle, which he
did, but retained also the name of LeGore, as Abijah LeGore
Prindle.
So far all attempts to trace his parentage and ancestry have only
met with failure ; and this much of his history is now noted here with
the hope that it may lead to further information from any source,
which will be most gratefully received by his descendants.

After the peace of Aix-la-Chapelle, in 1748, which resulted in
the temporary closing of the old French wars the following year,
the General Court caused a survey to be made of the extreme
northwestern corner of Massachusetts, and laid down the lines of
two townships adjoining one another and called them East and
West Hoosac, after the name of the river flowing through that
valley. East Hoosac was the one first reached by the old Mohawk
trail, the then only route of travel from the Deerfield to the Hoosac
over the Hoosac mountain. Fort Massachusetts, the most west-
erly and important of the forts established between the Connecti-
cut and Hoosac Rivers, was located on or near the line dividing
these two townships, and in September, 1752, Capt. Ephraim

JOHN PRINDLE. fi^^ '
About all that is now known of this John Prindle is that he was
a merchant of New Milford, Conn., from which place he removed,
with his two sons Solomon and John, to Williamstown, Mass., and
settled on Birch Hill. And as they were among the early settlers
of Williamstown, and their descendants have been identified with
its history, some brief reference to its early days may be found
interesting.
After the peace of Aix-la-Chapelle, in 1748, which resulted in
the temporary closing of the old French wars the following year,
the General Court caused a survey to be made of the extreme
northwestern corner of Massachusetts, and laid down the lines of
two townships adjoining one another and called them East and
West Hoosac, after the name of the river flowing through that
valley. East Hoosac was the one first reached by the old Mohawk
trail, the then only route of travel from the Deerfield to the Hoosac
over the Hoosac mountain. Fort Massachusetts, the most west-
erly and important of the forts established between the Connecti-
cut and Hoosac Rivers, was located on or near the line dividing
these two townships, and in September, 1752, Capt. Ephraim
Williams, then in command of this fort, bought two house lots in
West Hoosac, and fifteen more were bought by his officers and men.
At the renewal of the French and Indian wars nearly all the officers
and men resumed their military service — the young men from
Mass. and Conn, being about equal in numbers.
As the troubles at Crown Point became more serious Capt.
Williams was ordered with his command to the assistance of Fort
Edward, but when within about four miles of the fort they ran
into an ambush, and Capt. Williams was killed at the first fire.
It was afterwards found that in his will he had made a bequest
for the support of a free school at West Hoosac, provided that when
incorporated as a town the name should be changed to Williams-
town.
Upon the ending of the French dominion in America, which
was determined upon the Plains of Abraham, the old route to the
northward from Mass. and Conn., which had for \\h\i a century
been paths of Indian ambush, hand-to-hand conflict, and sudden

death, became at once open and safe. And as West Hoosac was
on the direct route of the expeditions to Ticonderoga and Crown
Point, it is no wonder that officers and men, remembering this quiet
valley, surrounded b}' those grand hills so well wooded and watered,
afterward turned their faces thither to seek new homes. Prior to
the incorporation of Williamstown, in 1765, comparatively few of
the settlers came from the eastward over the rugged Hoosac Moun-
tain, and it is noteworthy that with the exception of those who had
served at the fort as soldiers nearly all the newcomers from Conn,
were from the northwestern part, and from around Litchfield
County as a center. In that year Rev. Whitman Welch, a native
of iNIilford, Conn., but later, after the death of his father, living
with an uncle in New Milford, where he married Marvin Gaylord,
a daughter of Dea. Gaylord, was called to the charge of the new
church at Williamstown. This young minister was much beloved
by the people, and during his ten years' pastorate he kept in close
touch with New Milford, and a goodly number of citizens from
both Milford and New Milford followed him to Williamstown,
where he helped them in establishing new homes. Among these
early settlers are found the names of many prominent Conn, fam-
ilies, as Noble's, Boardman's, Deming's, Johnson's and Prindle's.
Just when John Prindle sold his store in New jNIilford, and
came with his two sons to join his former townsmen who had pre-
ceded him, is not now definitely known, but from the " Proprietors'
Book " we learn that about the year 1790 the 60-acre lot on Birch
Hill had been drawn in favor of house lot 54, and it was upon this
lot that John and his two sons built their new home. Here Solomon
and John, Jr., married Sarah and Penelope Johnson, sisters, and
reared their families under the old roof-tree which they themselves
had helped to build.
About 1832 Solomon and Sarah, with their daughter Almira,
who had married Henry Babcock, left the New England hills for
the then " far west," and settled on a farm in Kalamazoo, Mich.,
where he lived until his death, and where his grandson Henry Bab-
cock now lives.
John and Penelope remained on Birch Hill Farm, where he died
in 1837, aged 6l years.
So far all efforts to trace the parentage and early history of
this John Prindle, Sr., have been unsuccessful, and the foregoing

NOTE 1.
The name of William Pringle^ the emigrant and progenitor
of the Prindle family traced in this volume, first appears in
America, in the Colonial Records of New Haven, Conn., in 1653-54,
where he is referred to as "the Scotchman which lives at Mr.
Allerton's."
He took the oath of fidelity to the New Haven Jurisdiction,
Theophilus Eaton, Governor, on April 4, 1654; married Mary
Desborough, December 7, 1656; and, after living for some time in
New Haven, bought about 1672, from the administrators of the
estate of Sergeant Thos. Jeffreys, 24 acres of land in what is now
West Haven, but then really a part of New Haven, and known
as "West Farms," and settled there. This land lies between what
is now Main and Elm Streets, and Second and Third Avenues, and
the old house formerly stood in Second Avenue near Main Street.
A part of this land is now owned and occupied by the children of
Rollin W. and Lugevia (Prindle) Hine, descendants of the 8th
generation, and lies opposite their present home. His name is not
found on a list of residents of New Haven, 1640-50.
These brief items tell nearly all that is now known of William
Pringle, but much more is needed to satisfy the interest in the
progenitor of a family, and we find considerable information of
value in the general history of the times and customs of the people
where he dwelt.
Isaac Allerton was a passenger on the "Mayflower," and "was
chosen to be an Assistante unto" Gov. Bradford for many years in
succession. He was sent several times to England and to Holland
to dispose of furs and other products of the Colony and given "full
power to conclude the former bargains with ye adventurers." Hav-
ing been given so much power some cause for dissatisfaction would
naturally arise, and about l632 his connection with the Plymouth
Colony was severed, though he was not until several years after a
settler of New Haven.
The New Haven Colony arrived at New Haven in the spring of
l638, having passed the winter in Boston, and was composed prin-
cipally of members of the church and congregation of which the
Rev. John Davenport was pastor, in Coleman Street, London. They
came provided with means and "men skilled in various arts," and
237
228 Prindle Genealogy.
Cotton Mather writes 'The Colony was under the conduct of as
holy, and as prudent, and as genteel persons as most that ever
visited these nooks of America."
Mr. Allerton came to New Haven to stay about 1646, and built
a handsome house "all of oak and the best of joiner work," having
four porches and equal in every respect to that of the Governor.
The intervening years were probably spent in New York where he
continued his trading, though the final settlement of his affairs
with the Plymouth Colony dragged along for several years.
He was married three times, his first wife being Mary, the
daughter of Elder Brewster, whose account of Mr. Allerton's rela-
tions to the Plymouth Colony is quaint and interesting, and gives
us an idea of the man and his character, although he is mentioned
only at long intervals in the Elder's diary.
"Besides, through private gaine, I doe persuade my
selfe, was some cause to lead Mr. Allerton aside in thse beginnings,
yet I thinke, or at least charitie caries me to hope, that he intended
to deale faithfully with them in ye maine, and had such an opinion
of his own abilitie, and some experience . . . as he conceived
he might both raise himselfe an estate, and allso be a means to
bring in such profits to Mr. Sherley. ... At length, they,
having an opportunitie, resolved to send Mr. Winslow, with what
beaver they had already, into England, to see how ye square wente,
being very jealouse of these things, and Mr. Allerton's courses."
Mr. Sherley writes also,
"I fear neither you nor we have been well delte withal . . .
and 3^et for all this ... I dare not but thinke him honest,
and that his desire and intente was good."
In the Chronicles of New Haven Green, it is stated that,
"On the lower Green, in some place unknown, but supposed
to be not far from the flagstaff, lies Isaac Allerton, one of the
-^ Mayflower Pilgrims, and 'father of American Commerce'." X"
This is the man under whose roof our William Pringle found a
home, but for how long a time we do not know. The town records
of New Haven make some interesting references to him, which
gives us some idea of the man he was, as will be seen by the follow-
ing extracts:
"Feb. 27, 1653. — -The townsman were desired and appointed to
speak with the Scotchman which lives at Mr. Allerton's, and see if
they can agree with him to sweep the chimneys in the town ac-
cording to the order made 13th of November, 1643."
"Jan. 28, 1655. — It was propounded that one might be gotten
to sweep chimneys in the town. William Pringle was named, and
some were desired to speak to him to come to the governor and
speak with him about it."
"Feb. 11, 1655. — The governor further acquainted the town that
Appendix. 229
William Pringle, who was spoke of to the last court to sweep
chimneys for the town^ had been with him, and propounded some
difficulty in the Avork, but the manner of paying discouraged
him much, but hoping that may be amended, he is willing to try
another year, if the town will lend him 40 shillings in corn, and
let him have a canvas frock, and hood, to cover his clothes when
doth the work. But now, Peter ^lallory, from him declared, that
the 40 shillings to be lent, he let it fall, so he may have the
frock propounded, and his pay for his work duly paid him. The
town declared if canvas can be got, he shall have such a frock
and hood, he promising that if he leave the work, to leave such
garment to the town again, and that men pay him down for his
labor, or otherwise to his content, but if not, upon complaint the
court will see it remedied, and that all chimneys in the town be
included, and none exempted from pay, though they sweep them
themselves, provided that he come within such time Winter and
Summer, as is expressed in an order in the town records."
"The 4th of the 10th month, 1656.- — The townsmen are desired
to treat with William Pringle and agree with him to sweep chimneys
for the town as they see cause."
The inhabitants were obliged to have their chimneys swept twice
a year, or be fined. The doer of the task was not looked down upon
by the others, for there were many things essential to the welfare
of such a community that were not particularly agreeable, but
persons to perform such duties were appointed by the town meet-
ing and regarded as a call to duty for the common welfare. Many
of the early chimneys were built of logs and plastered with clay
on the inner surface, and it was, therefore, a matter of self-pro-
tection to appoint and maintain the office of Chimney sweep. But
it was sometimes difficult to get and keep one in the office, largely,
no doubt, because "the manner of paying discouraged them much,"
for in 1658 "the townsmen informed the Court that they could
prevail upon no man to be chimney sweeper." William's inde-
pendent way of "treating with the townsmen" indicates his stand-
ins; in the community.
After these records William's name appears in the transfer of
property, and in the birth records of his children, etc. His will,
dated October 17, 1689, and probated June 5, 1690, with inventory
of his estate, also appear; but the exact date of his death is not
now known.
William and Mary were in all probability buried in the ancient
ground of New Haven Green, which was used as a place of burial
from 1638 to 1812.
The part of this ground so used was that around and under the
present Center Church, in the crypt of which are still preserved
many headstones of the early settlers. When the Green was leveled
230 Prindle Genealogy.
in 1820 the stones that were in good condition were taken to the
then new Grove Street Cemetery and placed against the stone fence,
but none can be found there of William or Mary.
The vestry records of Christ Church date back as far as known
only to 1778, while those of Trinity Church date back only a few
years earlier, to 1767, and contain the names of many Prindles,
including those of Joseph"' ^' ■*, at which time the Prindles of New
Haven were, and ever since have been, stanch Episcopalians.
It is not known to what denomination William belonged, but
in the assignment of seats in the old "meeting house," by order of
the general court, Feb. 20, 1661-2, the name of William Pringle
appears, with others, on the list of those seated "Below the door,"
and ]\Irs. Isaac Allerton is assigned a seat, with other women,
"In the short seats at the upper end," Mr. Allerton having died
in 1659- It is probable that William may have had a sitting in
the meeting house before this time, as the last order of the court
before this, assigning the seats, was dated 4 yrs. before and then
the names of both Mr. and Mrs. Allerton appear.
Besides the name of William Pringle in 1653, on the New
Haven records, we have a John Pringle, "after-planter," in l645,
on the Milford records; but thus far nothing further has been
learned about him, nor of his relationship, if any, to William.
He might easily have been an older brother, perhaps bringing
William with him as a lad, for William does not take the oath
of allegiance until 1654. Or perhaps William may have followed
John a little later; possibly one or both "were adventurers" in
a company brought over by Mr. Allerton. About these things,
however, we can only conjecture. Of the traditions that come
from more or less widely separated branches of the family, nearly
all agree that there were "brothers" who came to this coimtry, but
differ as to the number, whether two or three, though all agree
that one settled in Connecticut.
There were Prindles and Pringles in several of the colonies, but
they were probably later emigrations from England and Scot-
land. In the old country they were most numerous in the border
counties of Northumberland in England, and Roxburgh in Scot-
land, the earliest records of Pringles being found at the latter
place.

The following copy^ from the files of the Pension Bureau at
Washington, of the application of Samuel* (Samuel^, Samuel',
Williayn-^) for a pension, is of interest in connection with his service
as a soldier of the Revolutionary war:
State of Vermont
Rutland County
On this 21st day of August, A. D. 1832, personally appeared
in ojDen Court before the Hon. Probate Court for destrict of Fair-
haven in the County of Rutland now sitting Samuel Prindle a res-
dent of Poultney in the County of Rutland & State of Vermont aged
85 years the 30th day of March last who first being duly sworn ac-
cording to law doth on his oath make the following declaration in
order to obtain the benefit of the Act of Congress passed June 7th
1832.
That he entered the service of the United States under the
following named officers & served as herein stated — That in March
1775 he enlisted at New Milford Litchfield County Connecticut in
a regiment commanded by Col Waterbury — the major's name was
Hawby the Captain of his company was Joseph Smith Ensign
Asbel Ruggles Orderly Sergant David Smith — That in about one
month after enlisting he marched from New Milford into New-
town through Norwalk to Horseneck & remained there about one
month on drill when Gen Washington called on his way to Boston
& ordered them to New York — That he in the Regiment com-
manded by Col Waterbury & accompanied by three others (he
thinks) marched to that place & encamped a short distance out
of the City until sometime near the first of August when they re-
ceived orders to leave for St. Johns — -That he in company with the
same Regiment aforesaid ascended the North River to Albany where
he landed and marched to Halfmoon Point now Waterford — that
he remained here three or four weeks when the army was separated
into two divisions, one to advance to Ticondaroga by the way of
Lake George, the other by Lake Cham plain, that he marched to
Skeensboro now Whitehall & there took boat to Ticondarago where
the other division arrived two or three (days) after them — Ac-
cording to the best of his memory he remained here four or five
weeks & then proceeded with the army under the command of
Gens Schuyler and Montgomery down the lake in the Batteaux
they had constructed (at) Ticondaroga to the Isle aux Noix which
on their approach was abandoned by the enemy who retreated im-
mediately to St Johns — that he with the American Army followed
& landed on the west side of the lake within nearly one mile from
the Fort. This shore the applicant says was a wilderness except
a cleared place of a few rods on which stood a small log hut. That
233
Appendix. 233
here he with the army had a skirmish with a party of Indians a
few moments after their arrival — that fifteen Americans were
killed & some wounded. Among the wounded was Major Hawby
whom the applicant aided in bearing to the boat. That during this
time Gen Schuyler remained on board the boat & soon after the
engagement with the Indians he saw a well dressed gentlemanly
appearing man issue from the woods & make a signal when he was
permitted to pass & went on board the boat where Gen Schuyler
had remained & after staying there two or three hours returned in
the same direction he came — That soon after the stranger retired
& on the same day they arrived he with the army were ordered
back to Isle aux Noix where they went & (agreeable to the best of
the applicants memory) remained ten or twelve days. He re-
members that in consequence of the above named occurrence & the
delay occasioned by their return, the oilicers & soldiers became
disaffected with Gen Schuyler & also that during a very dark night
a number of musket balls were fired through his markee, when the
Gen immediately returned to Ticondaroga. That the command then
developed upon Montgomery who led the applicant with the Ameri-
can army back to St Johns & commenced besieging the fort which
surrendered after forty six days. That during this siege they took
a number of prisoners who in small parties endeavoured to obtain
a passage into the fort — That he with the American army took
between six & seven hundred prisoners. About the last of No-
vember he with a hundred Americans comprising a guard for the
prisoners & commanded by Capt Mott returned to the Isle aux
Noix agreeable to orders. That he with the guard & prisoners
proceeded up the lake & remained over night at the following named
places — The 1st night at the Point of Fair, the 2nd on a small
island in the (lake) in order to guard the prisoners with more
ease & safety, the 3d at Crown Point, the 4th at Skeensboro (now
Whitehall), the 5th at Fort Ann, the 6th at Fort Edward, the 7th
he has forgotten, the 8th arrived at Albany where they remained two
days to obtain conveyance down the North River. That four sloops
were obtained one for the guard & two for the prisoners — That in
the evening before they sailed while lying by the wharf, the ap-
plicant with two others by the name of Piatt and Hogins went a
few rods from shore to a tavern to obtain some cider; that while there
the guard vessel moved off & they were compelled to go on board
the sloop which contained the prisoners & there remain over night
— That the next morning he informed the Captain of the sloop
how they were situated & requested him to send them to their vessel.
That the Captain went with them & on the way informed them that
the prisoners in the rear sloop had during the preceding night ob-
tained by the aid of some Tories at Albany a box of arms & ammu-
nition confined the Captain & sailors on board their sloop & were
234 Prindle Genealogy.
prepared upon the first favourable breeze to take the other vessel
containing the prisoners & run by or capture the guard vessel & join
an English ship of war by the name of Asia then lying near New
York — That upon Capt Mott receiving information of the above
circumstances he sent the applicant with others who boarded the
sloop^ took the arms & ammunition unbound the Capt & sailors & soon
after landed on the west side of the River and marched to Kings-
ton & remained there until a sufficient number of militia were
raised to take the prisoners to Philadelphia — That he having served
nine months had a written discharge from Capt Mott in December
of the same year which has long been lost. That in March 1776
he enlisted in a company for nine months commanded by Capt
Lazarus Ruggles. Lieut Ashbel Ruggles Serjant Asa Warner &
marched from New Milford to White Plains & joined the main
army at that place under Gen Washington — That he with the army
marched from there to New York remained there for some time,
on different duties — that upon their approach he with the army
fought upon the retreat back to White plains during which he
remembers that the son of Capt Ruggles was taken prisoner with
some others in his company — That he was in the battle at White
plains which ensued & remembers that Capt Ruggles was wounded
in the arm by a cannon ball, after which engagement the enemy
retired to New York — That in October of the same year being in-
formed that his wife was dangerously sick he hired a man for two
months (at the end of which time the term for which he enlisted
would have expired) when he received an honourable discharge &
returned immediately to New Milford haveing served under this
enlistment seven months.
He hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension or
annuity except the present & declares that his name is not on the
pension roll of the agency of any State.
Sworn & Subscribed the
day & year aforesaid Samuel Prindle.
A Certificate of Pension, No. 15,577, was issued to this appli-
cant, Samuel Prindle, August l6, 1833, and his name placed on
Roll of Vermont at the rate of $53.33 per annum, to commence on
the 4th day of August, 1831, under the Act of June 7, 1832.
The following interesting statement of the religious experience
of this Samuel Prindle was found among his papers, and now
contributed by one of his descendants, Mr. Charles I. Brooks, of
New York City:
Appendix. 235
Samuel Prindle's Experience,
I was born in Newmilford in Connecticut in the year A. D.
1747 and brought up by Religious Parents in the Presbyterian
order and had good instruction from them; but I lived much like
the great part of youths, but I thought it was necessary to have
Religion before I died, but Put it off for Some future time. When
I was about fifteen I had been to a ball and we had agreed to have
another the next week. One day as I was alone this question
seemed to be put to me: Will you follow the vanity of this world
and go to hell, or will you Seek Religion and go to heaven? I
paused awhile and my conclusion was I could not bear to think
of going to hell but I would go to the ball this once and then I
would Seek Religion. But after I had been I thought but little
about Religion but I intended when a more convenient time came
then I would have religion, which I thought would be when I came
to be Settled in the world. But alass when that time came I was
no more ready or willing than before. My mind was taken up
with the cares of this world but when I came to have children
according to custom I went and owned the Covenant and had my
Children Sprinkled and thought my Self about as good as other
people. So I lived till I was about twenty-five years of age, when
it Pleased God to bring a sore sickness upon me so that one night
the neighbors and friends was called in thinking I was dying and
I thought so too. But the Distress of my mind cannot be ex-
pressed by tongue or pen. I knew I was not Prepared for death
but oh the eternity that opened to my view. If I had been going
to be Cast into the midst of a burning firv fernis it would have been
nothing in comparison to the thots of eternity which I expected
soon to fall into. All the hopes I had was that my life mite be
Spaird, which I earnestly prayed for and Promised the allmity if
he would spair my life I would live a religious life. My request
was granted and I recovered by degrees but as I recovered my
Concern wore off and the Concern about the world increased for
about three months when one day these words Came into my mind
but and if that evil Servant Shall Say in his heart my Lord de-
layeth his Coming and shall begin to beat his fellow servant and to
eat and to drink with the drunken the Lord of that servant shall
come in a day when he thinketh not and in an hour that he is not
aware of, and will cut him asunder etc. These words came with
such power on my mind that had there been a hard clap of thunder
in a clear day it would not have given me a greater shock. It
seemd it was spoke to me. I was the very man My Promises came
to my mind that I made to my Creator in my sickness but I had
broke them. I was under very heavy Conviction for a great while.
I then took to reading my bible and to pray in my family and in
secret but I could find no Comfort about this time I dreamed tha
236 Prindle Genealogy.
I was on a very Slippery Place by a great gulf where I could
see no bottom and I went along and held by little bushes and any
thing that I could get holt of to keep from slipping into the gulf
and at last I got where I could not get anything to hold by and
was just slipping off and I cryed Lord have mercy on me and im-
mediately I was taken up without hands and set on the beautifull-
est Rock that ever I saw and a clear Crystal stream of the pleasantest
water that ever I drank issued out of the Rock which I followed
down into a wilderness and I awoke and I beheld it was a dream.
What the interpretation could be I could not think but I thought
it implyed some important event. My Concern still grew greater.
I read in my bible Except a man be born again he Cannot see the
Kingdom of God, but what it was to be born I knew not I thought
I must do some good works or God would not accept of me so I
went about to mend my ways and to Repent. But when I came to
look into my own heart I see that there was no goodness there.
My heart was at enmaty with God. My Repentance was nothing
but fear of Punishment. I had no love for God. Sometimes I
thought of giving all up and not troubling myself about Religion
but I dare not. Sometimes I was Greatly afraid I had committed
the unpardonable sin but at last I was brought to see it would be
just with God to cast me off forever and I despaired of ever making
myself any better and I Concluded to go and Cast myself at the
foot of mercy so I went away alone and Prostrated myself on the
ground and said god be mercyfull to me a poor helpless sinner
but by the time I had got to the ground these words came to my
mind say not in your heart who shall ascend into heaven that is to
bring Christ down from above or who shall descend into the deep
to bring Christ up from the dead. The word is nigh thee the
word which we Preach that if thou shalt Confess with thy mouth
the Lord Jesus and shalt believe in thine heart that god hath
Raised him from the dead thou shalt be saved. I did then believe
that God had Raised Christ from the dead and that the Father,
the son and the holy ghost was united in the salvation ot all that
believed in him. I felt willing to resine myself and all I had into
his hands and oh the happiness I then enjoyed is beyond tungue
or pen to describe. There is none but them that has felt the same
that can have an idea of that joy. It is a joy that the world cannot
give or take away. God appeared to be Just such a one as I
wished him to be and I cryed out Glory be to the father, to the son
and to the holy ghost and I had a desire that all rational creturs
should give honor and Prais and Glory to him that sets upon the
throne and to the lamb forever and ever. When I came to get
up I could not think what was the meaning of what had past in
my mind but the concern of my mind was gone and I did not know
what was agoing to become of me but the way of life and salva-
Appendix. 237
tion through Jesus Christ appeared so Glorious that I wanted
everybody to except of it but what would become of me for I did
not at that time think myself Converted. But my Concern of mind
was gon but it was not long before it came into my mind what our
Saviour said to Nicodemus of being born of the Spirit the wind
bloweth wliere it listeth and we hear the sound thereof but canst
not tell whence it cometh and whither it goeth so is everyone that
is born of the spirit and I felt Peas of Conscience and Joy in
the holy ghost and I thought I should never have any inclination
to do anything contrary to the will of God but it was not long
before I found I had temptations to strive against but I ment by
divine assistance to maintain Religion in my soal. Soon after the
Revolution war bokeot (broke out) and I thought it my duty to
stand for the liberty of m}- Country and I enlisted into the servis
in the year A.D. 1775 and in the year A.D. 1776 for 8 or 9 months
each year and in the year A.D. 1777 I set up a salt works at New-
field now called Bridgeport and followed that till the war ended.
Then I moved to ferrisburg (Vt.) and lived there about four years
and my wife died and about a year and a half after I marryed
again to a woman that was a baptis by profession which was a de-
nomination that I knew but little about but I thought they was not
right. I thought that infant sprinklin was the rite way of baptism
I had never heard it disputed and I thought I could convince my
wife but I said nothing to her nor she to me on that subject. I
thought it not best before I could bring scripture evidence suffi-
sant to prove it so went to searching the bible and I read the new
testament through and noted every place that I thought any way
favored infant baptism but I could not find the evidence that I
expected. I thought I had mist some then I read the whole of the
New testament through by corce again but I could not find that
even there was an infant baptised anyway. What to do I did not
know. I thought of going to some pedo baptis to see if he could
give me some instruction but I thought that the bible was the
likelvest to give me the best there was number of places that I
thought some ways favored infant baptism but I could not be fully
satisfied. It was said by som that it came in the room of circum-
cision. I was sprinkled in infancy and I thought if that was an
institution of god it was a great thing to renounce it so I thought
I would go to him who was able to instruct me in the right way
so went alone and praed and promised that if God would make
none my duty that I would endeavor to perform it. My duty was
then made known to me clearly. The places of scripture that had
been a dispute in my mind was clearly opened to my mind as to
circumcision it came to me in this way when a child was eight
days old it was a fit subject for circumcision in the old covnant
so in the new covnant when a person was born again thay was
238 Prindle Genealogy.
fit subjects for baptism and I felt fully satisfied that the baptis
was right and my duty was plain and I went forward the first
opportunity.
I am now entered on my ninety-third year about one month
and twelve days there is something on my mind that has been a
living Experience on the subject of war that is of learning or
bearing arms as the Sivil (law.^) Directs of standing in our De-
fence of our nattural lives by searching the new testament I find
there is nothing that will uphold it but altogether to the reverse
from it. This is a subject that has been laid before my mind for
about ten years and i leave these lines of my experience to show
to the Reader my mind as I think it very important to make our
calling and election sure and now when I have my facultyes bright
if these lines will be of any use to any is the sincere Desire of
the author as I conceive that we have got to Come into perfect
obedience to him who shed his precious blood and laid down his
precious life for all that would come for all that he cast none away
that came by him that Declared I am the Door of the true Sheep
fold any one that will Come to me I will in no wise cast away
but he shall go in and out and find pasture. If any is at a loss
respecting any subject let them remember that God is love and so
loved the world that he sent his only begoten son that whosoever
believeth in him should have everlasting life and come into the
Spirit of Christ for the apostle tells us that any man (that) hath
not the Spirit of Christ he is none of his.

NOTE 4.
Zalmon Prindle, the only son of Joel* and Sabra (Kimberly)
Prindle, was born in Newtown^ Fairfield County, Connecticut,
January 1 1, 1758.
He was a soldier of the American Revolution from February 23,
nil , to June, 1783, having enlisted at the age of nineteen, with the
following record of service as it appears on the files of the War
Department, Washington, D. C:
"It is shown by the records that one Zalmon Prindle served as a
private in Captain Samuel Comstock's Company, 8th Connecticut
Regiment, Revolutionary War. He enlisted February 23, 1777, to
serve during the war; was transferred in January, 1781, to Cap-
tain Comstock's Company, also designated that 2nd Company, 5th
Connecticut Regiment, commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Isaac
Sherman; again transferred November 1, 1782, to the 3rd Company,
2nd Connecticut Regiment, commanded by Colonel Heman Swift,
and his name last appears on the muster roll of that organization
dated May 26, 1783."
The following is also abstracted from the Record of Connecticut
men in the War of the Revolution. Adjt. Gen.'s Office, Hartford,
1889:
"Zalmon Prindle, enlisted from Newtown, Conn., February 3,
1777, for the war, as private in Capt. Samuel Comstock's Com-
pany, Eighth Regiment, Col. Chandler, of the 'Connecticut Line,'
in the formation of 1777-1781; transferred to the Fifth Regi-
ment, Lt. Comndt. Sherman, 'Connecticut Line,' in the formation
of 1781-1783; and to Capt. Munson's Company, Second Regiment,
Col. Heman Swift, 'Connecticut Line,' in the formation of January-
June, 1783."
The service rendered by these Regiments is summarized as
follows :
Eighth Regiment, "Connecticut Line," Formation of 1777-
1781. Raised from January 1, 1777, for the new "Continental
Line" to serve through the war. Enlisted in Litchfield and other
Counties. Went into the field at Camp Peekskill, spring of 1777.
Ordered into Pennsylvania, under Gen. McDougall, it fought
at Germantown, October, 1777, and suffered some loss. Assigned
to Varnum's Brigade, October l6. A detachment from the Regi-
ment, with one from Durkee's, continued the stubborn defense of
Fort ]\Iifflin, Mud Island, Penn., November 12-16, 1777, and "lost
some gallant officers and men." Wintered at Valley Forge, 1777-
1778, and on June 28th following present at battle of Monmouth.
Encamped during the summer at White Plains with Huntington's
Brigade. Wintered 1778-1779 at Redding. In summer of 1779,
on the Hudson, east side ; its light Company under Capt. Munson
243
244 Prindle Genealogy.
detached to Meig's Light Regiment and engaged in storming of
Stony Point, July 15, 1779. Wintered 1779-1780 in "Morristown
huts," Morristown, N. J. Wintered 1780-1781 at Camp "Connect-
icut Village," above Robinson's house, just back of Constitution
Island ojaposite West Point, about a mile and a half from the river
and not far from the main road, and advantageously situated as
lying between two mountains, and there consolidated for the Forma-
tion of 1781-1783, the men and officers receiving furlough in rota-
tion while here.
Fifth Regiment, "Connecticut Line," Formation of 1781-1783.
Fifth Regiment, in the second formation of the "Line," serving
from January 1, 1781, to January 1, 1783; composed of the First
and Eighth Regiments of the previous formations. In "Camp
Phillipsburg," near Dobbs Ferry, and formed in order of battle
in July 1781. Marched down nearer New York, and then returned
to Phillipsburg and Camp "Connecticut Village." The Commander-
in-chief, Washington, visited this camp, April 13, 1782. At Camp
Verplanck's Point, in order of battle, August-October, 1782. From
there marched to West Point, crossing the Hudson at Newburg,
where it went into winter quarters for the last time during the war.
This Regiment was consolidated in December, 1782, for the
third formation of January- June, 1783.
Second Regiment, "Connecticut Line." Formation of Jan. -June,
1783.
The Second Regiment, in the third formation of the "Line,"
of January- June, 1783, was composed of the Second and Fifth
Regiments of the previous formations. It remained in camp at
West Point and vicinity from January 1, 1783, until early in
June, when, by Washington's orders, it was disbanded with the
greater portion of the army. A certain number of men were re-
tained from the Regiment of the last formation.
It is most probable that while in camp and during the opera-
tions of the army in the Manor of Phillipsburg, the young soldier
first met Mary Williams, the daughter of Abraham and Mary (See)
Williams then living there, Abraham being also a soldier of the
Revolution, for in the year following the disbandment of his regi-
ment we find the record of their marriage, on May 13, 1784, at
South Salem, N. Y., near the Connecticut border, wliere her mother,
then a widow, had removed after the capture of her husband
Abraham, by the British and Tories, at the time of the assault
upon Young's House, the headquarters of the American forces, on
the night of February 3, 1780.
They removed to Tarrytown, N. Y., where their son Zenas was
born, April 17, 1786, and soon after again removed to Sandgate,
Vermont, where his father Joel, uncles Nathan and Jonathan, and
other kindred from Newtown, Conn., had preceded him. In those
Appendix. 245
early days traveling in the interior was largely on horseback, and
in this manner the young wife and mother, with her infant son
Zenas in her arms — their first born, Joel Wm., having died when
eight days old^made the journey to their new home in the sparsely
settled and mountainous country of Vermont, where they settled
near those who had preceded them, on Prindle Hill, in the western
part of the town and near the New York State line.
The township of Sandgate, in Bennington County, was one of
the New Hampshire Grants, its charter having been granted by
Gov. Benning Wentworth, August 11, 1761, to John Park and 65
others, embracing 23,0-10 acres, in 72 shares. Its first settler was
a Mr. Bristol, who located there in 1771. Reuben Thomas was
also one of the first settlers in Sandgate. He was one of its first
justices of the peace, and its first town representative to the State
Legislature, in October, 1778. His son, Samuel Thomas, was the
first child born in town, September 15, 1772, who served as justice
of the peace for 12 years and was also elected town representative
to the Legislature, in 1825.
It may prove interesting to note here that this Samuel Thomas
married Miriam Sherman, and that their son. Dr. Samuel Thomas,
who was born May 15, 1807, married January 14, 1841, Jane Cogs-
well, daughter of Samuel and Joanna (Smith) Cogswell whose
sister Hannah married Zenas*^ Prindle.
The first highway was laid out through the middle of the town,
passing through "The Notch," in March, 1781. The first deed of
land transfer was executed in 1778, and entered on the town
records, ^lay, 1782.
The emigration to this new country must have been consider-
able, for a few years after, in 1791, according to the census of
that year, the population had increased to 773. Many families
came from Newtown, Conn., and vicinity, and settled on the west
side of town, some of whose descendants still remain. Among
these from Newtown were several Prindles: JoeV, Nathan% and
Jonathan^ who were sons of Joseph'^ ; Ammon', son of Eliada*
and grandson of Joseph' ; and Zalm.on", son of this Joel*.
The Land Records show that Nathan was the first to become a
land owner there, on May 25, 1782, when he acquired 50 acres
from-Amon Hard, of Newtown, Conn., for 25 pounds. On October
18, 1783, he acquired another 50 acres from Samuel Drinkwater,
of Sandgate, for 20 pounds, and on January 26, 1784, these three
brothers — Joel, Nathan and Jonathan — all "of Newtown," each
acquired a tract of 50 acres from James Hard, of the adjoining
town of Arlington, Vt., the consideration being the same, 8 pounds,
in each case. In the summer of that year Nathan, with his family,
removed to Sandgate, and on September 20th following he ac-
quired still another 50 acres, this time from Samuel Bristol, of
246 Prindle Genealogy.
Sandgate, for 100 pounds. After this he no longer calls himself
as of Newtown^ but as "of Sandgate, Vermont."
Joel Prindle, on August 11, ITQi, still "of Newtown, Conn.,"
acquires another 50 acres from James Hard for 8 pounds, and
after that he calls himself as "of Sandgate, Vt."
Jonathan Prindle, on December 5, 1793, acquires 10 acres from
David Tuttle, of Sandgate, for one pound and three shillings; and
on January 19, 1799, another 50 acres from George Peck, of Sand-
gate, for one dollar. In all the transfers in which his name ap-
pears he calls himself as "of Newtown, Conn.," and it is not cer-
tain that he ever removed to Vermont to live for any great length
of time, if indeed at all, or ever transferred his citizenship from
his native town and state where he is reported to have died
February 15, 1814. We find that on November 2, 1803, he trans-
ferred his holdings in Sandgate to Joel and Zalmon, for $150,
which terminated his property interests in Vermont.
Amnion Prindle, "of Sandgate," on January 6, 1786, acquires
from Amos Tuttle 43 acres for 17 pounds, and on November 1,
1791, transfers the same to Sarah Cogswell for 28 pounds, he
then calling himself "of Newtown," from which it would appear
that he had returned to his native state.
The name of Zalmon Prindle first appears of record there on
February 11, 1788, when "Joel Prindle, of Newtown, in the County
of Fairfield, State of Connecticut, for the consideration of the
love, affection, and good will, I have and bear toward my son,
Zalmon Prindle, of Sandgate, County of Bennington, State of
Vermont," transfers unto the said Zalmon 30 acres of land adjoin-
ing his other land, and also adjoining land of Nathan Prindle.
All subsequent land records under the name of Prindle show
transfers only to or from Joel and Nathan and their descendants,
of which more than one hundred were entered prior to 1850.
The tradition runs that when the first settlers of the Prindle
famih^ sought a new home in southwestern Vermont, tliey traversed
the country along the Battenkill — a tributary of the Hudson River —
and, disdaining the lower pine lands of the valley as more or less
unhealthy, pressed onward and upward toward the higher and hard-
wood timber-land which indicated to them more healthful surround-
ings, and finally settled on the top of the low mountain still known
as "Prindle Hill."
Here they cleared away the forest, built them log houses and
barns, brought the hard and stony soil under subjection; raised,
spun, and wove flax and wool for clothing, and reared their sturdy
families for many years under pioneer conditions and in compara-
tive isolation; the succeeding generations gradually forsaking the
unthankful soil of the mountain top for the better and more
accessible, though limited, intervale and less hilly lands below.
Appendix. 247
A recent visit to this interesting locality showed but few remains
of the olden time. A few depressions in the earth mark the sites
of the old homes of which not a vestige remains, even of the one
in which the compiler remembers to have spent a night with the
family in his childhood. The formerly cultivated fields and meadow
land have relapsed into poor pasture lands, while these in turn
are being overgrown with new timber and underbrush which will
ere long take the place of the original forest, and little be left to
indicate the former period of toil and struggle and deprivation of
those of our ancestors, who here sought so courageously to subdue,
and did for a time, the unfriendly conditions of such primitive
surroundings.
In now visiting this region one is reminded of the rhyme begin-
ning
"Up in Vermont where the hills are so steep,
The farmers use ladders to pasture their sheep," etc.,
and the impromptu lines of a native son of the soil there:
"Poor old Sandgate ! All 'round hemmed in;
Three sides mountains, t'other side Camden."
are still remembered by living descendants of those early settlers
who appreciated the one only, and comparatively easy, outlet over
the "York State line," to a more advanced civilization along the
valley of the Battenkill, via "Camden Valley," through which the
famous trout stream of Terrell's Brook still flows.
Here Zalmon Prindle lived and toiled as a farmer for twenty-
five years, and died August 19, 1811, at the age of 53, a victim of
an epidemic, said to have been then prevailing and which also
carried off other residents of Prindle Hill, and leaving a widow and
eight children to mourn his untimely death.
His widow, Mary — who was also called Polly — survived him for
fifty years, and died March 19, 1861, in her 95th year.
They now lie side by side in the old burying ground in West
Sandgate, with a plain marble head-stone to mark the place and
bearing the simple inscription :
ZALMON PRINDLE
died
AUG. 19, 1811,
in his 53rd year.
My flesh shall slumber in the ground.
Till the last trumpet's joyful sound;
Then burst the chain with sweet surprise
And in my Saviour's image rise.

It is much to be hoped that his descendants will erect to his
memory a substantial monument of granite, upon which shall be
deejDly engraven these words :
A PATRIOT SOLDIER
of the
AMERICAN REVOLUTION
who faithfully served
for
more than six years
in the achievement of
AMERICAN INDEPENDENCE
Feb. 1777-June 1783.
NOTE 5.
Mary Williams, daughter of Abraham Williams and Mary See,
his wife, was born in the Manor of Phillipsburg, Westchester
County, N. Y., June 23, 1766. She was baptized in the First Re-
formed Dutch ("Sleepy Hollow") Church, Tarrytown, N. Y., as
Mareitie Sie, with David Stoerm and Liesbeth his wife, as wit-
ness or sponsors, October 28, 1766; and married at South Salem,
Westchester County, N. Y., May 13, 1784, Zalmon" Prindle, son
of JoeP and Sabra (Kimberly) Prindle, of Newtown, Conn., who
was a soldier of the American Revolution, 1777-1783.
They removed to Sandgate, Bennington County, Vt., in 1786,
the wife and mother carrying her infant son Zenas in her arms on
horseback, as was the manner of journeying in the more unsettled
parts of the country in those early days.
She died at Fort Edward, Washington County, N. Y., on March
19, 1861, at the advanced age of 95 years, and was buried by the
side of her husband — surviving him for nearly half a century — -
in the old burying ground in West Sandgate, having long been
known, loved, and revered as "Granny Prindle," at once a daughter
and a widow of patriotic soldiers of the Revolution, the one having
given his life, and the other more than six years of his, to the
service of his country in its struggle for the achievement of Ameri-
can Independence.
The history of Abraham Williams and family, though all too
brief so far as now known, is an interesting one.
He was born in Phillipsburg, of Dutch ancestry running back
on both sides for many generations. According to the "Sleepy
Hollow" Church records he was baptized July 5, 1746, though
probably born a few years earlier, as the son of Jan Williams and
Zara Stuyvers, his wife, with Abraham and Rachel Jurckse as
witnesses.
He married, October 31, 1761, Mary See, daughter of David
Zie and Raghel Gerdenier, his Avife, of Phillipsburg, where she was
born August 22, 174.2, and baptized June 23, 1743. The records
show that "Abraham Williams and Marytie Sie, his wife," were
received as Members of the "Sleepy Hollow" Church, September
3, 1765.
He served as a soldier in the Colonial service, as well as in the
Continental Army. But of the former service we have only the
brief record from the Report of the State Historian, 1897, where
it is stated. Vol. I., p. 942, on muster roll of men raised and passed
muster in Westchester County, N. Y., for Joshua Bloomer, April
30, 1759, for service in the French Avar, that
"Abraham Williams enlisted March 23; age 21 ; born in Phillips-
burg; volunteer; out of Capt. Buckhout's Co, of Militia; Capt.
249
250 Prindle Genealogy.
Bloomer enlisting officer; 5 ft. 7 in. high; light blue eyes and
hair."
The exact date of his entering the Revolutionary army has not
been ascertained, but it must have been as early as 1777, as would
appear from the official records on file in the Comptroller's Office at
Albany, N. Y., that
Abraham Williams, of Col. Hamman's Westchester County Regi-
ment, gave receipt to Captain Martling for pay for one year'iS
service.
Also a receipt roll of Lieutenant Cornelius Van Tassel for
services under his command, in 1778, containing the receipt of
Mary Williams for amount due her husband, Abraham Williams,
dated at Phillipsburg, February 14>, 1785.
Other records place him at different times in Capt. Coomb's
and Capt. Orser's Companies of Militia, and his name appears sev-
eral times in local Revolutionary annals ; and from the records of
the War Department at Washington, we have the following:
"It is shown b}^ the records that one Abram Williams, whose
rank is not stated, served as a member of Captain Daniel Mart-
ling's Company, Colonel Hammond's Regiment, New York Militia,
Revolutionarj^ war. His name appears on a receipt roll dated
January 3, 1785, which shows him paid £31, l6s, 5d, for one
year's service. Neither the date of beginning nor the date of ter-
mination of his service has been found of record.
"The name Abrm W^illiams also appears on a receipt roll dated
at Phillipsburg, February 14, 1785, which shows that Mary W^il-
liams received for her husband, Abrm Williams, the sum of 'si 4,
d2 2/3' for service under the command of Lieutenant Cornelius
Van Tassel during the year 1778.
"The name Abraham Williams also appears on a muster roll
'of the men received from the county of Westchester, N. Y.,
by Capt. Richard Sackett.' This roll, which is not dated, shows
the following in the case of this soldier: Age 16; feet 5, inches 5;
hair light; eyes light; complexion light; where born. Cot Morer
(Cortland Manor); place of abode, Co* Morer; occupation farmer;
time of enlistment 1 May, 17 — .
"The name Abraham Williams also appears on the records as
that of a private of Captain Richard Sackett's Company, Colonel
Albert Pawling's Regiment, New York Militia, but the period of
his service is not recorded."
As our Abraham Williams died, a British prisoner of war, in
December, 1780, he should not be confounded with the younger
Abraham Williams mentioned in the first, third and fourth para-
graphs of this official record, who served in Captain Martling's and
Ca))tain Sackett's Companies, the record of the elder Abraham ap-
pearing only in the very brief second paragraph above.
Appendix. 251
The church records show that this younger Abraham was bap-
tized April 20, 1763, as the son of William Willemse and Hester
Waldron, his wife, with Abraham Williams and Marytie Cie, his
wife, as witnesses.
His name is also mentioned as being in the party of seven who
were engaged in the capture of Andre, having been one of the four
stationed near David's Hill, where they separated. Sergeant John
Dean, Isaac See, James Romer, and Abraham W^illiams remaining
on the Hill, while James Paulding, Isaac Van Wart, and David
Williams proceeded on the Tarrytown road about a mile and con-
cealed themselves in the bushes until the approach of Andre.
The family tradition is that our Abraham Williams, who married
Mary See, was a cousin of David Williams and Isaac Van Wart,
two of the captors of Major Andre. That there was a relation-
ship, and doubtless a close one, makes it of special interest to his
descendants.
The Sleepy Hollow Church records show that Aert (Arthur)
Williams was the father of this David who married Femmetie
Waldron, and that William Willemse married her sister Hester
Waldron. Jan Williams, the father of Abraham, may have been
of an earlier generation but they were doubtless brothers or cousins
of a near or remote degree.
The Van Wart relationship was through the marriage of Rachel
Williams, sister of Aert Williams, and Martinus Van Wart, the
father of Isaac, who was thus an own cousin to David and probably
a cousin once removed to Abraham Williams.
Abraham and Mary had a son Abram, born February 13, 1775,
and this Abram had a son Abram, born October 12, 1802, one of
twelve children.
The active service of Abraham Williams the elder, in the Con-
tinental army, was brought suddenly to a close early in 1780, when,
as near as can be ascertained, he was captured at the time of the
attack on Young's Corners by the British and Tories, on the night
of February 3rd, of that year, when that place was successfully
assaulted and many prisoners taken. The Young's place was noted
in the Revolution as the headquarters of the American Army, until
after the buildings were destroyed and his house burned at this
time, and the American lines driven back to the Croton.
Lieut. Colonel Thompson was in command there then with a
force of 250 men of whom 13 were killed, 17 wounded — some mor-
tally— and about 100 prisoners taken. Among the latter, doubt-
less, was Abraham Williams, whose home was directly opposite,
being the present Campbell farm, and who was confined in a British
prison in New York, where he died about December 19, 1780.
The family tradition that he was brutally treated and "starved
to death by the British in prison in Morrisania," is handed down
252 Prixdle Genealogy.
by those now living who had it long afterward from the lips of his
daughter, Mary (Williams) Prindle. His prison life and death
there is attested bv the following:
Petition of Mary Williams^ widow of Abraham.
To the Honorable Legislature:
Gentlemen: — I beg leave to inform your Honors that I am the
widow of Abraham Williams, who died in Prison at Xew York,
in December last, (1780) after ten months' imprisonment, leaving
me with six children without any means of subsistence; and, being
driven from my place of residence near the White Plains, to Court-
landt Manor, and being destitute of the common necessaries of life,
therefore beg the Honorable Legislature to take my circumstances
under consideration and afford me such relief as they in their great
goodness may think meet, Avhich will be gratefully acknowledged by
your Honors' most obedient and humble servant,
June 8, 178L Mary Williams.
(Endorsement).
In Assembly June 18, 1781.
Petition of Mary Williams assigning the death of her husband
while imprisoned by the enemy and poverty as her reason for pray-
ing for charity.
Read and referred to Mr. Schoonmaker, Mr. Lawrence and
Mr. Cantine.
In a manuscript book of records at Albany, "Prisoners and Pen-
sion Rolls," it is stated that the account of Abraham Williams was
audited, Nov. 13, 1784, for services (presumably while in prison),
from Feb. 19, 1780, to Dec. 19, 1780, which strongly indicates that
he died on the latter date, and accords with the above statement
of his widow in her petition to the Legislature for relief as having
occurred the previous December, "after ten months' imprisonment,"
which would carry the date of his capture back to the assault at
Young-s Corners in Februarv of that vear.
It is also recorded that on June 8, 1786, she was awarded, as the
widow of Abraham Williams, 19 pounds and four shillings on a
claim for damage for fences, etc., destroyed during the war.
After the disastrous results following the assault at Youngs.
Corners, Mary Williams with her helpless flock of six children —
the youngest, Abram, but three years old, and our Mary a girl of
fourteen — was compelled to seek safety in flight with others, to
South Salem, then a part of Courtlandt Manor, where David Wil-
liams, his father Arthur, who died there October 18, 1792, and
others had preceeded her.
It is probable that she remained here until after the marriage of
her daughter Mary to Zalmon Prindle, May 13, 1784, for in the
following year she took title to the old farm at the Cross Roads
Appendix. 253
from the Commissioners of Forfeiture, as would appear from the
following, copied from the Land Records:
"Dec. 6, 178-5. Sold to Mary Williams of the County of West-
chester, widow, for £319 12s., All that certain farm of land
situate, lying and being in the Manor of Phillipsburg and County
of Westchester, bounded northerly and easterly by the highway,
southerly by land now or late in the possession of Moses Miller,
westerly by lands now in the possession of David See, Sarah Buck-
hout, the widow Van Wart, and Nicholas Storms, containing 142
acres more or less, as the same is now f)ossessed by the said Mary
Williams, forfeited to the people of the said State by the attainder
of Frederick Philipse of the said County Esquire."
And it is very probable that about this time the family returned
to the old home, for a son, Zenas, was born to Zalmon and Mary "at
Tarrytown" Aj^ril 17, 1786.
It also appears that ]\Iary Williams, widow, gave a mortgage on
her homestead to James Dunlap, Sept. li, 1786, for 67 pounds;
and also about the same time gave another mortgage on a j^art of
her farm to Daniel McFarland, of Greenburgh, who was by mar-
riage related to the Williams family. It was probably through
these mortgages that the title to the old farm passed from her.
The David See whose farm is mentioned in the boundaries of the
Williams propertj?^, was the father of Mary W'illiams, widow. He
was the son of "Jacobus Sie and Catliarina his wife" who was re-
ceived as INIember of the Sleepy Hollow Church, Aug. 15, 1732,
and one of its Deacons, 1760-64.
At all events the farm soon appeared to be in the possession of
others, a part of it — the site of Widow Flanagan's celebrated
hostelry on the corner — as early as 1795, and the remainder, prob-
ablv at an earlier date, was in possession of Isaac Van Wart, who
sold part of it to Stephen Campbell in 1801 ; but her deeds of sale
not being recorded there is no data to fix the time of the sale other
than the date of removal to Sandgate, Vt.
Perhaps the widow and her family were quite willing to leave
the scenes which had been to them so full of tragedy and suffering
durinff the dark davs of Revolution, as besides the loss of husband
and father the land had literally been stained with blood, while
partisan warfare raged around them on every side, for those Cross
Roads were the scene of many a conflict and left them bitter
memories.
Many interesting incidents of those stirring times have been
handed down as coming from her own lips. During the absence
of her husband Abraham while serving in the Continental army,
she was left with the maintenance and care of herself and family
of six children, the youngest being the only son, born in 1775, and
the oldest daughter being but l^Vo years older.
254 Prindle Genealogy.
She relates that upon one occasion a marauding party came and
drove away her horses and cattle, leaving but one horse and one
cow, and these she was obliged to yoke together as a team with
which to do the plowing and other farm work. This horse had a
peculiar trait of turning tail-to on being approached, and with
ears laid back would assume a threatening attitude as if intending
to forcibly resist capture. But to one approaching boldly and
patting the rump without showing fear, it would readily submit to
being haltered. This feature being unknown to the thieves saved
this animal to the family, as he was left unmolested.
On another occasion, after she and her girls had finished harvest-
ing, they stacked the grain in the field for fear that if stored in
the barn the enemy might burn both grain and barn together. But
it availed them nothing as the enemy soon came and applied the
torch to each stack as it stood in the field.
On the occasion of still another visit from the "Cowboys," as
they were driving away her stock, she stood in the open door-way
of her humble and defenceless home, pleading with them to leave
her one cow for herself and little ones, until one of the brutes
raised his musket to take aim at her when her daughter seized her
by the skirts and quickly drew her inside and shut the door.
Notwithstanding these many trials and hardships of those
troublous times, the husband and father would come home occasion-
ally on furlough, in rags and tatters, only to be reclothed from
head to foot and then return again to his post of duty and service,
as a patriot soldier, until his capture by the British and death in a
loathsome prison — a willing sacrifice in the cause of American liberty
— which left them homeless, herself a widow, and her children
orphans.
The sturdy patriotism and sterling integrity of those Dutch
people are fittingly referred to in "Tarrytown," by M. D. Raymond,
where he says :
"Then came the shock and upheaval of the Revolution. And to
their everlasting honor be it recorded that, notwithstanding the
fact that the lord of the Manor was in accord witli the King, there
were but few tories in this vicinage.
The tenantry from the fir.st were in full sympathy with the
cause of the colonies; and although sore trials were in store for
them, their fields devastated, their property wasted, and the tragedy
of war was enacted at their doors, its rude alarms and terrible
realism did not seem to repress their patriotism or awe them into
submission.
The British General Howe could not well have paid them a
higher compliment than when he said, after his fruitless movement
in this direction in 1777 — 'I can do nothing with this Dutch popula-
tion; I can neither buy them with money, nor conquer them by
force.' "
Appendix. 255
The daughter. Mary, with lier husband, Zalmon Prindle. removed
to Sandgate, \'t., in ITSO". he having followed his fatlior Joel and
other kindred from Newtown. Conn., there, all seeking new homes
in that sparsely settled region: and as the widow Mary afterward
made her home with them she subsequently removed there also,
where she died in April. 18;U. in her p'2nd year, having survived
her husband for more than .'K? years. At the time ot^ her death
"Grniuiy W illiams" was living with her daughter Mary. — "Granny
Prindle.'"- — also a widow, on the old "Horton place" in West Sand-
gate, that being known as the part of the town lying west from
"The Xoteh," — a natural depression or n.irrow and eireuitous eut
through the summit of the mountain ridge, and the dividing line
between "Old Sandgate" and the "West side." through which the
main road passes. The old house, which is still standing, is lo-
cated on the east side of the Rupert road which branches off from
the main road just west from the "Xoteh." and is the first house
on the east side, north and about a mile distant from the "Xoteli."
The first house on the west side of the Rupert road aiul a little
nearer the "Xoteh,"' which is also still standing, is on the old "Phil-
lips place."' where the compiler was born seven years after the death
of "Granny Williams."'
The following list ot' her children has been handed down, in
which she says :
"The ages of my children are as follows:
Rachel Williams, born Aug. '27. 1~o-2.
CathariTU^ Williams, born July '24. 176-i.
Mary A\'illiams. born June ~S. l~66.
Lear Williams, born July ^20. 176S.
Elizabeth Williams, born Aug. Ip. 1771.
Abram Williams, born Feb. IS. 1775.
Lear Williams, died X'ovcmber. 1795."
It will be seen that all of these children were born before the
Revolution in which their father was to take an active part and to
give up his life — a veteran soldier of two wars, a Patriot indeed,
■whose name and memory deserve to be held in perpetual reverence
and honor by his descendants, and all lovers of Freedom, for which
cause he gave his life.

etc. The sachem's two brothers and three sons also conveyed their
interest in same.
Nov. 10, 1679, John Mackandrew, alias Andrews, petitioned the
Assembly to remit the sentence of the General Court of Trials, on

The records of the Pension Bureau show that he was a soldier
of the Revolutionary war, having served in the Rhode Island
troops at various times from 1777 to 1781 under Captains Wm.
Roy, Asa Bennett, and Topping.
In his application for a pension, dated Arlington, Vt., Aug.
Appendix. 265
14>, 1832, he states that he "was born in Coventry, R. I., Dec. 12,
1760, and removed to Arlington, Vt., two years after the war.
Never had a written discharge. Served one month and eight days
in 1778, when he went to Newport, where there was a severe en-
gagement with the enem}^, under Gen. Sullivan, who had command
of the American forces." His claim was allowed. In his applica-
tion he makes reference also to the military service of his father.
The following further reference to his military service has been
furnished by the Office of the State Record Commissioner:
"Andrews, Sylvester. Private, Rhode Island militia; R. I. pen-
sioner, residing in Bennington County, Vermont; annual allowance
$42.21; sum received, $123.63; placed on Pension Roll Aug. 31,

son of Zenas and Hannah (Cogswell) Prindle, who was born in

She died in Arlington, Vt., March 15, 1864, and both were
buried there in St. James' church-yard.
The early genealogy of this branch of the Andrew Family may
be found in Austin's Genealogical Dictionary of Rhode Island,
and from the Vital Records of Rhode Island, 1636-1850.
NOTE 9.
Sarah Ann Prindle, daughter of Zenas and Hannah (Cogs-
well) Prindle, was born in Sandgate, Vt., April 3, ISS-i; married
January 1, 1845, Zachariah Hurd Randall, son of Levi and
Annie (Hurd) Randall, of Sandgate, who was born there August
11, 1825. He was in early life called " Ryer " so much that he
afterward assumed that name.
Late in the fall following their marriage they left Vermont
and started out to find a new home in the " Far West," jjroceeding
by wagon to Troy, N. Y., thence by the Erie Canal to Buffalo,
where he shipped for a lake trip to Milwaukee, in the then Ter-
ritory of Wisconsin. They first made their home with her uncle,
Martin Cogswell, in the township of Brookfield, near Milwau-
kee, with whom they lived until 1849, when they concluded to
remove to Appleton, Wis. They pushed out by team as far as
Fond du Lac, thence going by rowboat to Menasha, and finally
by an Indian canoe to within three miles of Appleton, walking the
remaining distance.
Appleton then (February, 1849) consisted of a small number
of log buildings only, not a frame structure having then been built.
Mr. Randall purchased l60 acres of Government land in Grand
Chute township adjoining, a tract of unbroken forest, and the first
white man's habitation was the log cabin built by him. Here they
lived during all the succeeding years; for the first few he was
obliged to seek work for a part of the time in Appleton, but each
year found the farm in better condition, until at length it yielded
a comfortable income.
A new and larger frame house succeeded the old log cabin,
more and more of the forest land was cleared and brought under
cultivation, and after many years of hard and patient toil the farm
was finally brought from its wild and unproductive state to a con-
dition of comfort and profit. Here their only child, Viola, now Mrs.
J. N. Fox, was born ; here they celebrated their golden wedding,
January 1st, 1895, and here Mrs. Randall died. May 27, 1904,
aged 80 years. It was the compiler's privilege to have seen this
dear aunt married, at her father's home, adjoining his own, in
Sandgate, Vt., January 1, 1845, and — though but once again — •
to look upon her fair, sweet face, bearing scarcely a wrinkle, as
she lay in her casket prepared for burial, on that beautiful Sun-
day morning in May, more than fifty-nine years after.
Mr. Randall is now left as the only survivor of those who were
residents of the township at the time of his arrival there in 1849-
He has held leading offices in the township, serving several years
as chairman, etc., and in the discharge of all his public duties
has met with the approval of his fellow citizens.

268 Prindle Genealogy,
On July 16^ 1861, soon after the breaking out of the Re-
bellion, Mr. Randall enlisted as a musician in the regimental band
of the 6th Wisconsin Vols., and served, principally at Washington
and Arlington Heights, Va., until October 1st following, when he
was honorably discharged on account of disability resulting from
exposure while marching. In September, 1864, he again entered
the army, having been drafted, and was assigned to Co. F., 22nd
Regt., Wis. Vols., with which he served until the close of the Avar,
and then returned to the old home of his early manhood, middle
life, and now old age, where he still resides.
NOTE 10.
Franklin Cogswell Prindle, son of Hawley and Olive
(Andrew) Prindle, and great-grandson of Zalmon Prindle, was
born in Sandgate, Vermont, July 8, 18-11, where he lived until
1850, when the family removed to Arlington, Vermont. His
father Avas a farmer.
He was educated in the public schools, and at the Rensselaer
Polytechnic Institute, Troy, New York. He early evinced a love
for reading and study, and his rapid progress in mathematics be-
yond those of his age was made the subject of official comment in
reports of the town superintendent of the public schools. He sub-
sequently taught in the same school where he had attended, some
of his former schoolmates being among his pupils.
Possessing a marked aptitude for mechanics and machinery, and
having a strong dislike for farm work and life, he sought his
parents' consent to learn a trade, and for some months worked as
an apprentice in the machine shop and foundry of Grover and
Harrington, in Bennington, Vt. But being of slight build and not
very robust it was soon found that he had not the requisite strength
to continue, and so was reluctantly compelled to abandon that
congenial work and return to the farm.
He had early learned the use of tools while yet a boy, and now
supplemented by this experience in the machine shop, he fitted up
an outbuilding as a workshop of his own and equipped it with a
carpenter's bench, blacksmith's forge, and turning lathe worked by
foot, which he had recovered from a factory fire and rebuilt for
working in both Mood and metals. Here he spent most of his
spare moments, often working after the day's toil late into the
niglit by the aid of a lantern, until peremptorily called into the
house and sent to bed. In this shop he constructed several labor-
saving contrivances and machines to lessen the drudgery of farm-
ing, which work was to him most distasteful, and also made several
other inventions, only to often find them anticipated by others. He
constructed, in wood, a Avorking model of a duplex steam engine,
by Avhich the slide valve on one cylinder was actuated by the piston-
rod of the other, in substantially the same way as obtains in the
well-known duplex steam pumps of to-day, which have a world-
wide use. Here he also built a small oscillating steam engine and
attached it to the boiler of a shingle mill in an adjoining town
in order to prove to some doubters that it would " go," as it did.
This brought him into more prominent notice in the vicinity,
and resulted in an offer and acceptance of employment in a steam
saw and stave mill, then just starting in a neighboring town at
the foot of the Green ^fountains, Avhere he assisted in erecting the
engine and boilers and other machinery, and then remained for a
269
270 Prindle Genealogy.
time as engineer and fireman, finally leaving the factory after a
year and more, where he had reached the position of superintendent,
at the age of 18, to take a course of study in civil engineering.
He was admitted to the sophomore class of the Rensselaer
Polytechnic Institute, Troy, N. Y., in I860, and at the end of his
sophomore year, in 1861, he left the Institute to enter the Navy.
The Civil War was then in progress and, responding to his pa-
triotic impulses, he offered his services to his country. Preferring
the Engineering Corps of the Navy he readily qualified for re-
ceiving an appointment therein, the age requirement in his case —
he being but twenty years old — having been waived by Secretary
Welles to enable him to enter the competitive examination pre-
cedent to such an appointment, which resulted in his successfully
passing with the standing of No. 3 in his class and receiving the
appointment of Third Assistant Engineer in the Navy, August 3,
1861.
He was immediately ordered to duty on the U. S. S. Ottawa, one
of the " ninety-day gunboats " then fitting out at the Novelty Iron
Works in New York, which sailed in October to join Commodore
Dupont's squadron then assembling at Hampton Roads, Va. The
" Ottawa " was one of the 48 vessels comprising the famous Port
Royal Expedition, which sailed from Hampton Roads, October 19,
1861, and which was dispersed by a furious storm in passing Cape
Hatteras when some vessels were lost, and some days later re-
assembled off Port Royal, South Carolina. He was in his maiden
battle of Port Royal, November 7, 1861, which resulted, after a
furious bombardment of several hours, in the capture of the forts
commanding the harbor at Hilton Head and Bay Point. After this
he saw much active service in the South Atlantic Blockading
Squadron, and participated in the sinking of the " stone fleet " at
the entrance of Charleston Harbor, in the engagements at Poco-
taligo, Stono Inlet, Secessionville, Morris Island, and other de-
fences of Charleston, including the reduction of Fort Sumter, cap-
ture of Beaufort, Fort Clinch, Fernandina, St. Marys, Jackson-
ville, Palatka, and other minor operations in the South Atlantic
waters, the blockade of Charleston and Savannah and along the
coast from Georgetown, N. C, to Jupiter Inlet, Fla., etc., to which
squadron the Ottawa remained attached under Commodores Dupont
and Dahlgren.
He was promoted to Second Assistant Engineer, April 21, 1863,
and a year later granted a month's leave of absence, when he
returned home, and at the expiration of his leave he was ordered
to special duty at the Novelty Iron Works, New York, where he
remained until the close of the war.
The war being ended, and having no taste for a sea-faring life,
he offered his resignation, which was accepted September 11, 1865,
Appendix. 271
and soon after entered the office of Norman W. Wheeler, me-
chanical engineer. New York City.
Some two years afterward he was offered and accepted the ap-
pointment of assistant civil engineer at the New York Navy Yard,
and after a short period of duty there was transferred to the Navy
Yard at Philadelphia in charge of public works of improvement
there.
He was commissioned a Civil Engineer in the Navy, April 17,
1869, by General Grant, then President, and continued on duty
at the old Philadelphia Navy Yard, and later assigned to the new
League Island Navy Yard, of which he was its first civil engineer.
He made the first plans for the development of this new navy yard,
designed and constructed the first buildings and other improvements
there, and resigned January 1, 1876, to return to the private prac-
tice of his profession as civil and mechanical engineer in Phila-
delphia. In 1879 he was urged to re-enter the naval service, and
offered his former position, which he accepted with the purpose of
making it his life work, and was again commissioned a Civil En-
gineer, U. S. Navy, by President Hayes, on July 22, of that year,
and ordered to duty at the New York Navy Yard.
Since then he has served as civil engineer at the navy yards
and stations at Portsmouth, N. H. ; Boston, Mass. ; Newport, R. I. ;
Brooklyn, N. Y. ; League Island, Pa.; Norfolk, Va. ; Port Royal,
S. C. ; Key West, and Pensacola, Fla. ; Mare Island, Cal. ; Puget
Sound, W^ash. ; Yerba Buena Island, Cal., and Honolulu, H. I. The
construction of the Naval Training Station on Yerba Buena Island,
jn San Francisco Bay, 1898-90, of which he was the civil engineer,
,was his last important work.
His last official duty on the active list of the Navy was per-
formed at the Naval Station in Honolulu in 1900, and from there
— broken down in health for the second time — he was invalided
home and transferred to the retired list on February 27, 1901, on
account of physical disability incurred in the line of duty, and
with the rank of Rear-Admiral. His naval record thus shows a
long and honorable service as a staff officer of the navy, in the
steam and civil engineer corps, in every grade of rank from that
of midshipman, in 1861, to that of rear-admiral, in 1901, the latter
having been conferred under authority of an Act of Congress grant-
ing retirement of veterans of the Civil war, with creditable records,
with the rank of the next higher grade. At the time of his re-
tirement the subject of this sketch had reached the rank of captain
— the highest in his corps — in the regular course of promotion,
and thus attained the next higher rank of rear-admiral upon his
retirement.
During his active service he was actively and aggressively in-
terested in the advancement of his corps as an important branch of

the naval service, and in securing suitable recognition of its proper
position as such. And it has been conceded that the final estab-
lishment of the Civil Engineer Corps, as a permanent staiF corps
of the Navy, with a civil engineer at its head as chief of the bureau
of yards and docks having charge of the public works at navy
yards and stations, was largely due to his earnest, persistent, and
long-continued efforts.
He was engineer and secretary of the American Dredging Com-
pany, Philadelphia, in 1876-7, and in the fall of 1876 visited Eng-
land, Scotland, Belgium, Holland and Germany to examine into
the systems of dredging machinery in use in those countries.
He was employed as engineer and superintendent of the Caro-
lina Oil and Creosote Company at Wilmington, N. C, 1889-90,
while on leave of absence, and the latter part of the time as its
secretary and treasurer also, when the entire charge and manage-
ment of the business was confided to him.
He was elected a director and vice-president of the Aztec Oil
Company, one of the pioneers of the famous Kern River oil field
in California, upon its organization in 1900, and upon his re-
tirement from active service in the navy became its president.
He was elected a Member of the American Society of Civil En-
gineers in 1874, and of the Institution of Civil Engineers of Great
Britain in 1883, and while stationed at Philadelphia, Boston, and
San Francisco he was admitted to membership in the Franklin In-
stitute, Boston Society of Civil Engineers, Technical Society of
the Pacific Coast, and the University Club, at these places.
He is a member of the National Geographical Society, and the
National Genealogical Society, at Washington, D. C. ; and also
connected with several patriotic societies, being a Companion of
the Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States, of the
Naval Order of the United States, and of the Society of American
Wars, and a Compatriot of the Society of the Sons of the Ameri-
can Revolution.
He is Past Master and life member of Crescent Lodge, No.
493, Free and Accepted Masons; also life member of Temple
Chapter, No. 248, Royal Arch Masons, and of St. Alban Com-
mandery. No. 47, Knights Templar, all of Philadelphia, and mem-
ber of the Grand Lodge of Masons of Pennsylvania.
Politically, he is a Lincoln Republican ; and in religion, a
stauncli and earnest Baptist by faith and practice. He was bap-
tized and received into the fellowship of the Baptist Church, Shafts-
bury, Vt., on June 3, I.86O, and during his residence in many parts
of the country he has transferred his affiliations and membership
successively to the following Baptist Churches: Fifth Avenue,
New York City; Tabernacle, Philadelphia, Pa.; First, in Pierre-
pont Street, and Washington Avenue, Brooklyn, N. Y. ; First, San
Appendix. 273
Francisco, and Bakersfield, Cal. ; and First, Washington, D. C.
Several of these churches he has served as deacon or trustee, or
both, one for a time as clerk, and was for many years a teacher
and earnest worker in the Sunday school and Young People's So-
cieties.
He is a descendant of six soldiers of the Revolutionary war,
three of whom — Abraham Williams, Ferris Cogswell and Zalmon
Prindle — were ancestors on the paternal side, and three — -Charles
Andrew, Jr., and Sylvester his son, and Isaac Oatman — ancestors
on the maternal side. Abraham Williams was also a soldier of the
Colonial wars.
He was born on the old " Phillips' place " in West Sandgate,
Vt., that being known as the part of the town lying west of " The
Notch," at the summit of the ridge through which the main road
passes, and the old house in which he was born, which is still stand-
ing, is located on the west side of the Rupert road, it being the
first house north from the junction with the main road, and about
a mile from the " Notch." The next house north, on the opposite
side of the road, is upon the old " Horton place," where his great-
grandmother, Mary (Williams) Prindle, and her mother, Mary
(See) Williams, lived together as widows for a while, and where
the latter died in April, 1834, aged 91 years 9 mos.
He has been three times married: 1st, May 19, 1864, to Ger-
trude A. Stickle, who bore him seven children- — four of whom died
in infancy and early youth — and died Sept. 15, 1876; 2nd, Sept.
25, 1878, to Sarah A. Cranston, who died April 22, 1892, and 3rd,
April 8, 1896, to Mrs. Fidelia E. (White) Mead.

Note. — The term "deserted" or "deserter" which is occasion-
ally found opposite a soldier's name on the old muster rolls, etc.,
was not always one of reproach. Many of those who were thus
called merely absented themselves for a time and then rejoined their
commands, without question. Others are described, in the docu-
ments, as having afterward "Joined and served to the end of the
War," or "Joined and afterwards died."
The term "absent" would more correctly describe the real con-
duct of many of the soldiers. In the Land Bounty Rights there is
often a serious doubt whether the word "deserted" refers to the
Soldier or his claim on the land.
