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.

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-

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  Prindlcs  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  wlio  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, 
wlio  long  survived  her  husband  and  lived  all  my  boyhood  in  this 
old  Prindle  home,  where  I  was  reared.  My  grandmother  told  me 
MJiat  she  had  Iicard  from  her  husband,  of  tliat  Scotch  boy:  that  he 
was  apprenticed  in  some  seajjort  town  to  a  ship's  blacksmith.  Liv- 
ing in  the  family  of  his  master  he  came  under  the  discij^line  of  the 
blacksmith's  wile,  wlio  was  wont  to  chastise  him  severely.  One 
(lay,  wlitii  llif  hoy  h.id  attained  considerable  size,  his  mistress  was 
administering  the  customary  punishment,  the  boy  stooping  before 
her,  l>is  liead  between  her  knees,  wlule  she  was  belaboring  his  pos- 
terior parts.  The  severity  oC  tiie  blows  stirred  the  boy  to  rebellion, 
so  gatlicriiig  all  his  slrriiglli  in  ,ui  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  hands  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  1654,  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

family  in  America  can  be  made.

xvi  Prindle    Genealogy. 

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 
work;  also  to  Miss  Mary  L.  Hine,  of  West  Haven,  Conn.,  who  has 
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 
reported  to  the  compiler,  as  well  as  any  omissions  or  additions 
needed  to  make  the  work  more  complete  and  useful.

PRINDLE    GENEALOGY 


PRINDLE    GENEALOGY 

"And  I  found  a  register  of  the  genealogy  of  them  which  cam*; 
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.

2.     PHOEBE  PRINDLE. 

Phoebe-  Prindle  (William^),  daughter  of  William  and  Mary 
(Desborough)  Prindle,  was  born  in  New  Haven,  Conn.,  March  16, 
1656-7.  She  was  mentioned  as  "my  daughter  Beecher "  in  her 
father's  will,  and  married,  November  5,  1677,  Eleazer  Beecher, 
son  of  Isaac  (who  was  b.  England,  1623,  emigrated  to  America  and 
landed  in  Boston,  June  26,  1637),  who  was  born  in  New  Haven, 
May  8,  l6o5,  and  died  there  March  2,  1726. 

He  was  admitted  into  the  Congregational  Church  of  New  Haven, 
P  September  23,  1785.  His  will,  dated  January  30,  1722-3,  and 
probated  April  4,  1726,  gives  to  his  beloved  wife  Phoebe,  his  mova- 
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:

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.

Abigail  (Hickox)  Pritchard,  who  d.  1777;  m.  (2) 
Elisha  Steele. 

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.

from  John  Roatch  to  "  my  daughter  Thankful  Roatch,  for  the  great 
care  showed  to  me  in  my  very  old  age,  my  dwelling  house,  garden,

The  original  first  and  second  volumes  of  these  records  are  miss-

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  !

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

Benjamin  Prindle,  of  Greenwich,  was  appointe'd  ad-

1724;  and  inventory  taken  December  18,  1724,  by  Joseph 
Ferris  and  Ebenezer  Renels,  valued  at  .£21-08-03. 

In  the  administration  account  it  is  stated  that  the  de- 
ceased (who  is  called  brother  by  the  administrator)  was 
partner  with  several  people  in  Norwalk,  Conn.,  in  build- 
ing a  mill.  He  died  probably  unmarried.  ^  ,^,

heirs  to  his  father's  estate  and  mentioned  in  his  father's 
will,  in  1740,  but  whose  names  are  not  known.  Inventory 
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

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 
Rev.  Samuel  Johnson,  one  of  the  founders  of  the  Episcopal  Church 
in  West  Haven. 

He  died  :March  18,  1737-8,  and  in  the  record  of  his  death  is 
called  "Mr.  Joseph  Prindle,"  a  title  of  distinction  in  tliose  days. 
A  small  red  sandstone  slab  marks  his  grave,  the  inscription  now 
being  nearly  illegible,  whereon  he  is  entitled  "Serjeant." 

In  his  will,  dated  December  12,  1728,  and  probated  May  29, 
1738,  he  gives  to  his  wife  the  use  of  the  whole  of  his  estate,  and 
after  her  death  to  Joseph,  he  to  pay  the  following  legacies: 

To  Samuel,  100  pounds  above  what  he  has  had  already;  Tn 
Hepzibah  and  Mary,  50  pounds  each;  and  to  the  children  of  Joel, 
40  pounds,  or   10  pounds  each.     His  son  Joseph,  Jr.,  was  named

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

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."

ae.  38;  m.  (2)  Mrs.  Elizabeth  (Trowbridge)  Candee, 
widow  of  Ezra,  who  d.  April  28,  1806,  ae.  74-. 

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.

Storer,  dau.   of  John   Storer,  who   d.   Aug.    11,   1785; 

m.    (3)    May    21,    1787,    "widow    Punchard,"    whose 

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.

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 
others. 

In  deeds  of  1761  and  1767,  he  describes  himself  as 
of  South  Precinct,  Dutchess  County,  and  Province  of 
New  York,  and  in  1769  as  of  New  Fairfield,  Conn.

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

estate;,  and  Joseph  Prindle,  of  West  Haven,  for  their  estate  at 
Oranage  by  Stratford  River,  wliich  they  inherited  from  their  ma- 
ternal  grandfather,   Thomas   Andrews. 

Children,  born  in  Milford: 
i.  Jonathan',  b.  July  1,  1704,  O.S.;  m.  May  4,  1732,  Rachel 
Hickox,  dau.  of  William  and  Rebecca  (Andrews)  Hickox, 
dec'd,  wdio  was  also  one  of  the  original  families  of 
Waterbury;  settled  in  Waterbury  near  Center  Square, 
in  1726,  where  he  d.  AprillO,  1782.  She  was  b.  May 
16,  1710,  and  d.  Nov.  24,  1798,  ae.  88. 

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."

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.

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 :

the  Rev. 

Chauncey  Prindle 

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.

Hezekiah  Brown,  son  of  Deacon  Samuel  Brown  from 
Boston.  He  was  a  Loyalist.  In  Oct.,  1775,  certain 
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 
as   arbitrary   as  the  Pope  of  Rome  when   it  cashiered

Captain  Bronson  and  Ensign  Scovill  (who  belonged 
to  the  Northbury  Compan^^  which  was  so  disaifected 
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.

He  went  away  with  his  father  in  1776  and 
joined  the  enemy  on  Long  Island.  After  his 
father's  death  he  returned  to  Waterbury  "  convinced 
of  his  error,"  and  gave  himself  up  to  the  civil  au- 
thority. He  was  fined  by  the  Superior  Court  £30, 
and  ordered  not  to  leave  the  town.  In  1783  he  pre- 
sented a  petition  for  discharge  that  he  might  labor 
for  the  support  of  his  mother  in  Watertown,  which 
was  not  granted.

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.

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

The  foregoing  is  here  presented  in  the  hope  that  thereby  it

Dr.  Cyrus  Prindle  was  a  Methodist  minister  of 
much  prominence  in  New  England  and  New  York, 
and  had  for  many  years  many  important  churches 
under  his  care  at  Troy,  Albany,  Lansingburg,  N.  Y. 
City  and  other  important  points.

He  left  the  Methodist  Episcopal  Church  in  1843 
in  consequence  of  its  attitude  in  regard  to  slavery, 
and  was  one  of  five  or  six  other  anti-slavery  minis- 
ters who  organized  the  Wesley  an  Methodist  Con- 
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.

"  Reuben  Ferres,  Capt." 

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."

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.

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

APPENDIX 


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

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

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.

NOTE  2. 

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.

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

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

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-

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

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,

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 :

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.

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.

He  was  of  Kings  Town,  Rhode  Island,  May  20,  1671,  at  which 
time  he  took  the  oath  of  allegiance.  January  1,  1672,  he  with 
others  bought  of  Awashuatt,  chief  sachem  of  land  called  Quo- 
hassett,  in  Narragansett,  for  a  valuable  sum,  etc.,  a  certain  tract 
in  Quohasset,  bounded  on  the  east  from  the  house  of  John  Andrew, 
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 
account  of  the  great  infirmity  of  his  body  and  smallness  of  his 
estate.     Corporal  punishment  was  remitted,  also  5  pounds  of  fine. 

He  held  the  office  of  constable  in  1683-84;  and  on  Sept.  6,  1687, 
the  records  show  that  he  was  taxed  4  shillings  and  8  pence.

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-

Olive*'  Andrew  (Reuben^,  Sylvester^,  Charles,  Jr.^,  Charles'^,

born  in  Arlington,  Vt.,  Jan.  12,  1811;  m.  Oct.  28,  1838,  Hawley^ 
Prindle  {Zenas^,  Zalmon^,  Joel^,  Joseph^,  Ehenezer~,  William}), 
son  of  Zenas  and  Hannah  (Cogswell)  Prindle,  who  was  born  in 
Sandgate,  Vt.,  Feb.  29,  1812,  and  died  in  Chillicothe,  Mo.,  Aug. 
27,  1883. 

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.

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

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,

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.
